"W-Who are you?"Lu Zul asked with a shaken voice. The man in front of her just killed a man with incredible strength in mere seconds. He did it with no effort, just like he took a walk in the park.
The man turned around and looked into Lu Zul"s eyes. He took a second before he decided to answer.
"Ah. My name is Zuhn. Who am I? Just a wandering man."
Both Lu Zul and Zheng Gu didn"t agree with what the man was saying. Zheng Gu couldn"t comprehend the power he just saw from Zuhn. Zheng Gu was elite of the elite in LightBringers. Even the sect master of LightBringers wasn"t as powerful as the man in front of him.
"Zuhn… Would you like to accompany us to the capital?"
Lu Zul understood that the man was extremely powerful. He was strong enough to kill anyone willing to mess with them on their way to the capital.
Zuhn brought his hand up to his chin and stood quietly for a couple of seconds.
"Sure. Why not? Haven"t been to the capital of this place yet."
Zuhn smiled and walked closer to the carriage.
Zheng Gu looked in awe as Zuhn agreed to come with them. Zheng Gu let out a small sigh in relief knowing that such a powerful person was going to be traveling with them.
Zuhn stood next to the carriage and jumped up on top of it. The three other guards that were around the carriage couldn"t believe their eyes. A regular man jumped onto a carriage in one standing jump.
Zheng Gu ordered the other guards to clear the street of the leftover bodies that were blocking it. After the guards finished they all returned to the carriage.
Lu Zul looked up a Zuhn, she was about to ask him to come in, but she decided he wants to stay up top. Lu Zul walked back into the carriage, Zheng Gu got on to the front. Picking up the reins he started to move forward.
With a quick jerk, the carriage started to move again. Zuhn sat on top with a grim expression on his face as he looked around. The area they were traveling in looked like a normal forest.
Though, Zuhn could feel the power coming off the land. From Ziom, Zuhn could feel the power from the land. But the power was weak and not as strong as the land around him now.
"Power Vision"
Zuhn"s eyes turned gold. All around Zuhn small particles in the air that shined gold. The small particles were power from the ground, remembering from the Ancient Magic Book. Zuhn knew that these particles were pure energy.
The energy could be used to cultivate. Zuhn thought when he first learned of the particles he could cultivate to become extremely strong. But after learning that the particles were weak in Ziom he gave up.
Though, this new land had tons of particles. Zuhn crossed his legs and closed his eyes. Zuhn took multiple deep breaths turning into a state of peace.
No sounds entered his eyes, he was in his own s.p.a.ce. Slowly, Zuhn took in the energy particles around him. The particles entered all over Zuhn"s body.
The pure energy from the particles was sending tingles all over his body.

Three days later…
Lu Zul looked out the windows of her carriage. On the road were multiple other carriages. The carriages all looked different, some were normal and others had jewels and bright colors on them.
Normal on color carriages were normal citizens. While decorated carriages were from those of n.o.bles and cultivators. The carriage started to slowly slow down as it got closer and closer to the gates of the capital.
Guards were posted on and outside of the wall. They were checking each carriage, asking for papers and what they were intending to do in the capital.
After a couple of carriages in front of Lu Zul"s carriage were let through it was now time for hers. When the guards saw four powerful people surrounding the carriage they knew it was someone important.
What confused the guards was there was a random man on top of the carriage. Zheng Gu jumped off the carriage with papers and showed them to the guards.
"Oh! Miss Lu Zul."
The guards knew who the Lu Zul was, she was the daughter of the leader of the LightBringers. LightBringers were known throughout the country for being the most powerful.
"Who is the man on top of your carriage?"
The guards were greatly confused and wanted to know why he was on the roof.
Zheng Gu looked back at Zuhn and shook his head.
"He"s someone… special."
The guards were still confused but nodded their heads. Because the Zheng Gu was from LightBringers they didn"t intend to keep questioning him.
The guards handed back his papers and let them through the gate. Inside was hundreds of buildings. Markets were all over the streets, people were shouting their goods.
Zuhn opened his eyes to see the carriage entering through large stone gates. When they made it inside the market in front of him reminded him of home.
When Zuhn first entered the White Rose Sect he saw around the same thing. People were filling the streets, shops were all over. Seeing this, Zuhn let off a small smile.
The carriage made a right, not going down the market path. After riding through the capital for a couple of minutes the carriage stopped in front of a large building.
All over were colorful carriages and guards surrounding them. Multiple youths with all sorts of jewels on them were walking into the building. Zheng Gu moved the carriage to a large parking spot to the side of the building.
Below Zuhn, Lu Zul opened the carriage door. She looked up and was shocked to see Zuhn still on top of the carriage.
"Miss Lu."
Lu Zul looked over at Zheng Gu, he was smiling and holding a small chest. Lu Zul went over and retrieve it.
"What is it?"
"A small gift from your father."
Lu Zul opened the box, inside was a small sapphire necklace. She quickly took it out and put it on.
Zuhn looked down at the scene that happened and put back on his emotionless face.
"Lu..."
Lu Zul looked up at Zuhn with a question mark on her face.
"Yes?"
Zuhn jumped off the carriage and landed near Lu Zul.
"What is this place?"
Zuhn turned around and looked at the building.
"Sir Zuhn, this place is the testing building to test your strength. Most heirs of n.o.bles or elite sect members come here every year to test their strength. If you can show you have the power of Bronze, you can start your career as a cultivator."
Zuhn nodded his head after hearing her explanation.
"So… Is this youth a cultivator?"
Zuhn pointed to Zheng Gu.
Lu Zul nodded her head with great excitement.
"Sir Zuhn, Zheng Gu is second to the most powerful person in LightBringers. He"s in the middle stages of Bronze, making him ranked in the top one hundred most powerful people in the country."
Zheng Gu stood up straight acting very proud of what Lu Zul was saying about him.
"Middle Bronze? Weak."
Both Zheng Gu and Lu Zul couldn"t believe what Zuhn just said. He"s calling Middle Bronze weak? Middle Bronze took someone tens of years to reach. Most people only stayed at the early stages of Bronze.
"W-Weak?"
"Yes, Weak. Lu, who is the most powerful person you know in this country?"
Lu Zul took a second to think before answering.
"That would be Sir William, He"s at the peak of Bronze. Sir William is considered the powerhouse of the country, an all-star in the military."
Zuhn couldn"t believe what he was hearing, the most powerful person in this country is only Peak Bronze? When Zuhn woke up in this new place, he lost a lot of his power from Ziom.
Though, Zuhn was still in the Martial Sky Realm.
"Wow… Lu, what"s the highest a cultivator has ever gone in this world?"
"That"s easy Sir Zuhn, the highest someone ever got was the early stages of Silver. The man is a complete legend, the books of the past say he took over the whole world at one point. Luckily, he died a couple thousand years ago. Since then, no one as reached Silver."
"Mhm."
Zuhn nodded his head at her answer and looked back at the building.
"Are there any requirements to enter that building?"
"Uh, not that I know of. But I will have to give you a small warning. The staff inside are very powerful, the instructors will do multiple tough tests to figure out how strong you are."
"Okay, Lu. Is it alright if I accompany you inside? I would like to take this test."
Lu Zul kept quiet for a couple of seconds before nodding her head. Lu Zul said thanks to Zheng Gu and the other guards and headed inside with Zuhn.
When they got inside the whole place was crowded with people. Most of the people inside were wearing bright colors and covered in jewels. The people with jewels had multiple weapons on their bodies.
Some people held staffs while others held swords and shields. When Lu Zul walked inside all of their eyes looked at her. Most people inside knew who she was and if they didn"t they knew of the sword she was carrying.
A Magical Sword, not many people could use a magical sword. They were quite rare, the people that had one could be counted on the hand. The hall became extremely quite as Zuhn and Lu Zul walked up to one of the desks at the front.
An old man sat in a chair looking at papers when Zuhn and Lu Zul walked up.
"Yes?"
"We both would like to take the strength test."
The old man looked at Lu Zul and his eyes gleamed with light. But when the man looked at Zuhn, he had a dull reaction. The man couldn"t sense any power coming of the man. But Lu Zul he could feel the power of a bronze cultivator.
"Ah… Both of you? Son, are you such you want to take this test? If you are not strong enough you could die."
Zuhn looked at the man and nodded.
"Okay, Uh because you are with Miss Lu please go to the VIP room."
The man pointed to a black door that had two guards standing outside of it.
When they arrived into the VIP room, there were a couple others inside. Zuhn sensed that they were all Early staged Bronze cultivators. From the knowledge that Zuhn knew, all of the people in the room were powerful in this world.
Zuhn took a seat in a wooden chair and looked around the room. Lu Zul took a seat in a nearby chair. When Zuhn looked at her, it looked like she was in the middle of preparing herself for the test.
"Yo! Trash."
People were shouting in the room, but Zuhn paid no attention to it.
"Hey! Don"t ignore me!"
Zuhn turned to look at the person that was yelling. When Zuhn looked at the youth he was looking at Zuhn.
"Trash! What are you doing in here? This is only for the powerful. I sense no power coming off you!"
Zuhn sat still looking at the youth with no expression and didn"t really care about what the youth was talking about.
The youth got up and walked over to Zuhn, he put his hand on his weapon.
"Trash lik-"
"Okay Everyone, it"s time for your tests. Instructors are waiting for you outside!"
A younger man walked into the room and looked at the youth that was standing in front of Zuhn.
The youth took his hand off his sword.
"I hope you die in the tests today."
Zuhn and Lu Zul both got up and moved outside.
When they got outside there were multiple people standing in a line looking at the Zuhn and the others.
"Great… Everyone is here."
A man that was in the middle stages of Bronze looked at Zuhn and the others.
"h.e.l.lo everyone, I"m Benz. I will be your head instructor for your exams today. You are all apart of the VIP room of this place. Meaning, you all should be very strong and able to easily become a normal cultivator. Though, if you take this test you will have much more access to power."
Benz eyes looked over everyone but stopped when he landed on Zuhn. Zuhn wasn"t giving off any power, he was complete trash.
"You!"
Benz pointed at Zuhn.
"What are you doing here? Trash isn"t welcome to this place."
"Shut the f.u.c.k up."
Zuhn was getting annoyed at the people in this world. They thought that they were powerful beings with great strength. But in reality, Zuhn could kill everyone in this world with one finger.
"W-What did you say to me? Are you asking for death?"
The other instructors gave Zuhn a grim look for what he said to Benz.
"You heard me."
Zuhn looked at the instructors with no emotion, he had no fear for people so weak.
