Against The Other Gods

One by one, every head family that have some influence in the Floating Cloud City give congratulation to Xiao Clan and giving a congratulatory gift to the Xiao Lie as the celebration today is held because of Takagi"s birthday and breakhrough to Elementary Profound Realm.

After some ceremonial speech from the Xiao Clan Master, and from Xiao Lie as the Fifth Elder, Xiao Lie then called Takagi to take the stage, to introduce himself and said a few words to the guests.

"that was quite nerve-wrecking" thought Takagi as he never done a speech in front of so many people for a long time.

"now, please enjoy the food and the wine" announce Xiao Lie as the formality has ended.

Many people start chatting and enjoying the food that served, while Takagi sitting together with Xiao Lie, Xiao Lingxi and also Xia Hongyi with Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba.

Xiao Lie happily chatted with Xia Hongyi. "Senior Xiao is really blessed to have such genius grandson like Xiao Che and a cute daughter like Xiao Lingxi." Xia Hongyi complimented Xiao Lie.

"yeah, I"m really blessed to have them to accompany this old man." Said Xiao Lie with full of grat.i.tude for given such a wonderful daughter and grandson.

"you also have a wonderful childs like Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba. Qingyue is really beautiful just like her mother and look at Yuanba, he will grow as a fierce tiger among men" Xiao Lie said to Xia Hongyi as they were really a person on the same boat, as they needed to take care of two children alone.

Takagi keep staring at Xia Qingyue as he pondered about what he need to do to help her with her circ.u.mstances. Xia Qingyue who was a cheerful girl turned to a silent and quiet girl after her mother left her behind around 2 years ago when she was 4 years old.

"for now, I hope she is not already be a girl who only seeking for power in order to find her mother but only a girl who still sad because of her mother left her. So I guess I need to befriend her for now and before I can befriend her, I need to befriend Yuanba first." Thought Takagi.

"h.e.l.lo, I am Xiao Che how about we play outside ? I will show you around the Xiao Clan" asked Takagi to Qingyue and Yuanba.

"yeah, let"s go play." Xiao Lingxi shouted excitedly.

"Really? Let"s go, let"s go" said Yuanba who also got exited.

Qingyue only stay quiet and didn"t give any response to Takagi.

"yeah, you kids can play around but you shouldn"t go too far." Said Xiao Lie to the kids.

"can we dad?" Yuanba asked for his father permission.

"yeah you can, but don"t cause any trouble okay. And Yue"er, you should come along with them" Xia Hongyi said to his son and daughter.

"yes father" Xia Qingyue nodded after hearing what her father said.

After they got permission, Takagi lead the group to go to his courtyard. "follow me" said Takagi to the group of kids in front of him.

After they arrived at the courtyard, Takagi stopped and turned to them and talked. "I will show you my friend who also my Contracted Summoned Beast pet. Come out Little White" Takagi right hand glowed and then suddenly a big eagle with a black wing and white body pop out of nothing.

Yuanba who got shocked fell to his b.u.t.t while Xiao Lingxi got excited instantly running to Little White and Hug it. "waahh Little White!!" shout Xiao Lingxi.

Xia Qingyue also got stunned when Little White appeared suddenly, but her eyes shone brightly after seeing how beautiful Little White is.

"this is my partner and my pet, it"s name is Little White. Try to touch his white feather." Said Takagi to Yuanba and Qingyue.

At first, Yuanba was a little afraid of it and a bit hesitant to get close. It"s actually Qingyue who a little bit curious about Little White and walked closer slowly. "try to touch it, it"s feather is so smooth and soft." said Lingxi who still hugging little white.

Xia Qingyue reach out with her right hand and after she touch Little White feather, her eyes brightened. "it...feels so good, it is really smooth and feels soft to touch" said Xia Qingyue with a low voice while still caressing Little White feather.

Seeing his big sister, Yuanba finally have the courage to go near Little White and touch the white feather. "waahhh it feels really good" said Yuanba who also caressed Little White.

Because of Little White, the four kids got a little friendly with each other. After that, they played around the Xiao Clan for a while and then got back to the hall where the celebration held.

"looks like you guys really have fun and played a lot huh" said Xia Hongyi after seeing the four children got back.

"um, we really played a lot with big brother Xiao Che and there"s also Little White" said Yuanba full of energy to his father.

Xia Hongyi really happy when he see his two child get to play with a friend around their age, especially after seeing Yuanba who really got excited and Qingyue who tag along as they play around.

Xia Qingyue is only a child after all, she was really sad when her mother is gone and she become a silent and quiet girl. It makes his heart really ached seeing his daughter so down.

"uncle Xia, can we play again sometimes?" asked Takagi to Xia Hongyi as this is an opportunity to have a reason to visit them.

"of course you can, little Che can come over anytime. Uncle will be really happy if little Che visit us." Said Xia Hongyi happily after hearing what Takagi said.

"yeah, that"s right Big Brother Che!! Come play to our house next time!!" said Yuanba to Takagi.

Xia Qingyue only stayed quiet without saying anything while staring to Takagi.

"Senior Xiao, even though I want to stay longer and chat with you, but I have to get Yue"er and little Yuanba home already. So I have to excuse myself now." Said Xia Hongyi politely to Xiao Lie.

"it"s alright, how about I escort you back home?" offer Xiao Lie to Xia Hongyi.

"no, no, no. I don"t want to trouble senior Xiao as my place is not that far away" Xia Hongyi rejected Xiao Lie"s offer.

"okay then, I won"t force junior Xia. Please be careful on your way home junior Xia" then Xiao Lie said farewell to Xia Hongyi.

"yes, take care of yourself Senior Xiao. Qingyue, Yuanba, said farewell to Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi" said Xia Hongyi who already said farewell to Xiao Lie.

"see you again Big brother Che and Little Aunt Lingxi" said Yuanba

"see you again" said Qingyue with a soft voice.

"um, I will visit you two to play again sometimes" said takagi to Yuanba and Qingyue

"see you again" said Xiao Lingxi while waving her hand.

"now you two, get back to your room as it is quite late already" said Xiao Lie to Takagi and Xiao Lingxi.

Then Takagi with Xiao Lingxi said good night to Xiao Lie and go to their bed.

In the next morning, at the Takagi"s courtyard

"so, you want to focused in improving you physical const.i.tution rather than improving your profound energy level? State your reason." Xiao Lie turned back into a strict teacher when training Takagi.

"Because, it is an aspect that many people ignored and I want to have a better body that won"t lacked behind compared to my Profound Strength. I"m still quite young for kid around my age who start cultivate in Profound Way, rather than rush my Profound level it"s better to solidify my foundation as the better my foundation, the easier my future cultivation."

"and it"s not like my profound strength won"t be improved. As I trained and depleting then recovering my profound energy repeatedly, my profound energy will get purer and thicker instead" explain Takagi to his grandfather. Of course he can"t tell him the real reason is because he will get new profound veins of evil G.o.d and his profound strength will have to start back from scratch.

But it"s only his profound strength, not his body. So he want to get prepared beforehand so that he can withstand the opening of seven gates from evil G.o.d secret arts created by Evil G.o.d.

Xiao Lie"s eyes shoned brightly when hearing what his grandson said it"s not like his idea is something new but because of his grandson ability to think and his intelligence. "sometimes I can"t believe my grandson is only a 5 year old child with how intelligent he is." Xiao Lie talked in his mind.

"Alright, I accept your suggestion. Do you want to say anything more?" asked Xiao Lie to his genius grandson.

"umm... can I use a weapon in sparring?" answer Takagi by asking another request.

"what weapon do you wanted to use?" Xiao Lie throw back another question.

"a heavy sword." Said Takagi.

"are you sure?" Xiao Lie wanted to confirm.

Takagi only nodded

"Alright, wait for a while as I will get the weapon for you." After said that, Xiao Lie then dissapeared for quite a while.

Takagi waiting Xiao Lie while equipping the weights that his grandfather prepared for him.

When Xiao Lie back. There is a little iron heavy sword in his hand with a size that fit for Takagi small 5-years old body and then give the weapon to him.

"how is it? Is it still too big for you?" asked Xiao Lie.

"No, it"s perfect. Thank you so much grandpa" answer Takagi happily.

"okay, now we will start your training then. Summon Little White as you both will sparr with me" Xiao Lie get back into teacher mode.

"yes!!" shouted Takagi loudly as he summoned Little White beside him to sparr with Xiao Lie.

And then, Takagi"s training that focused in improving his body const.i.tution began.
