The Holy Tiger Kingdom.
Tian Yu pulled over from the crowd of the palace to strengthen himself, he trained alone in a place located behind the palace.
Although the place is close to the palace, but the spooky atmosphere makes it rarely visited.
The trees are large and high with a lake surrounded by wild shrubs, as well as a steep ravine on one side makes it known as a dangerous place especially for children.
As with Tian Yu, all of that never happened. His physique was indeed children but the sharpness of thought and strength he possessed surpassed that of an adult. Tian Yu wanted to have prowess like his father, he did not like to play like other children his age.
The moves he has mastered, continue to sharpen it and he developed to be more powerful. Tian Yu also did not hesitate to combine the two styles into one to produce a new extraordinary style. As of today, he combined his father's sword stance with the sea-splitting style belonging to the sacred tiger clan that his teacher had taught him yesterday in the academy.
His right hand carried an energy sword while his left hand prepared with another wave of energy to be put together on his energy sword.
Pyarrs!
His energy sword shattered when it was touched by waves of ocean-splitting energy.
"Araghh! Damnit damnit! Why doesn't this move work?" Tian Yu kicked a tree to vent his emotions, instantly the huge tree fell down.
Not only that, Tian Yu also unleashed his strength blindly so that the forest became extremely chaotic.
"God! What have I done? I'd be angry if I saw all this."
Tian Yu immediately moved quickly to clear up the mess he had made. The lightening stance of the body he exuded made his movements almost invisible like shadows. The fallen trees and all the burning bushes, he threw them into the abyss.
"Huh! It's all over." Finally." Tian Yu observed the surroundings he was in now.
"This place is so beautiful. It turns out that the mess I made brought good results. Ahaha!" Tian Yu laughed at himself.
It's almost night. The sun is just above the horizon. Tian Yu had to go home immediately before his mother was confused to look for him, but he wanted to try his failed nurse once again.
Tian Yu's right hand palm started to draw out his energy sword and his left palm released ocean splitting energy.
Before Tian Yu put it together, he was startled by a voice he was very familiar with.
"That's not gonna work. Try using this" Rubby said, throwing his meteor sword.
Rubby came there after hearing the noise caused by Tian Yu's rampage.
"Wo .. wo .. wo .. wo ...! It's a big sword!" Tian Yu, who was not ready, staggered slightly when he caught the sword thrown by his mother.
"You, no? If you don't want to, I'll take it again!" exclamation Rubby.
"You, Mother! How wanting! The sword is so cool!" tian Yu exclaimed at the sword as she went back and forth meticulously.
"Yes, already. Now do the merging of the moves you played earlier," Rubby said with a smile to encourage Tian Yu.
"Good, Mom. Uh, but how did you know I wanted to combine the two styles?" Tian Yu was astonished.
"It's quick to do it's almost night. I'm your mother, so I memorize all your traits!" exclaiming Rubby asked that Tian Yu not waste time.
"Good, Mommy!"
Tian Yu repeated the same thing he did before. The difference this time was that he was wearing a real sword that was fed with energy. Right what his mother said, that sword energy and ocean splitting energy could fuse well. Tian Yu felt very happy that he had finally managed to combine the moves.
"Now let go of that style on that cliff over there!" Rubby pointed to a cliff that was far enough away from where they were. The cliffs are located far outside the palace.
Tian Yu rounded his eyes hearing his mother's orders, according to him it was very far away. He was not sure if his strength was able to reach it.
"But, Mother!" yang Tian Yu hesitated.
"Do what you ask. Ocean-splitting moves are capable of working to attack enemies from great distances. You just need to increase the bit of energy you are flowing to adjust to the distance you want to reach."
Tian Yu did not expect if his mother had any observant thoughts regarding this stance. What a talent he never showed to everyone including his father. As far as Tian Yu was concerned, his mother rarely wanted to engage with his father when they were talking about martial arts.
"Good, Mom!"
Tian Yu did what his mother taught him. The flow of energy centered on his right palm he increased to two hundred percent. The energy was comparable to the distance of the cliff he was about to attack.
The meteor sword that was originally jet-black turned glittering as it was enveloped in white and golden-yellow energy.
Tian Yu raised the sword up with both hands to the same level as his body, after which he swung it forward towards the cliff with a movement forming a ninety degree angle.
The accumulated energy flowed from the tip of the sword and disengaged very quickly shot towards the cliff.
Duaarrr!
The sound of a powerful explosion sounded very loud even though the distance was quite far.
The cliff was split into two pieces and fell down like a dead tree.
Tian Yu's eyes twinkled happily at his success this time. Although he succeeded because of his mother's help, but he was very happy. He also obtained a very powerful sword from his mother.
"Thank you, Mama!" Tian Yu ran then hugged his mother tightly.
"It's getting dark. Let's go home!" Rubby returned the arms of his son and stroked his hair fondly.
Tian Yu let go of his embrace then looked at his mother's face. There was still one thing he wanted to ask.
"Mothers. Can I have this sword?" tian Yu asked expectantly.
"of course. I still have another sword. But remember, take out the sword when facing a heavy enemy only because the sword was targeted by many cultivators. Be careful taking him."
"Well! This is a great sword. I'll be careful keeping it, Mother."
"Hm." Rubby nodded with a smile.
The two of them left the Tian Yu training ground and returned to the palace of the Holy Tiger Kingdom.
••••
In the meeting room of the palace of the Holy Tiger Kingdom, the palace dignitaries and the chosen commander were having a serious discussion with Wu Jin Ming as their king.
The troops they had would be insufficient to deal with the attack. Wu Jin Ming racked his brains to multiply the troops by attracting civilians who had martial skills to strengthen the troops. Wu Jin Ming would also summon the demon he conquered to come help him along with his reinforcements.
"I'm ready to fight too, Dad! Don't forget me!" yelled Tian Yu.
His appearance made everyone in the room look at him in disbelief. They saluted Tian Yu's courage even though he was still immature. The palace magnates had not seen Tian Yu's development yet but his ability when attacking Queen Erlong was still very memorable for them.
"You must guard this palace and the entire Capital City, dear," Wu Jin Ming persuaded.
"So you doubt my abilities?" Tian Yu felt a little angry.
"No... no. Not .. not so I mean. If all the strong go to fight the border and the small towns, then this town who will take care of it, dear? Couldn't the enemy have come here at any time?" Wu Jin Ming gave an excuse.
Tian Yu held onto his chin and was in style like a thinking adult.
"You're right, Dad. All right, looks like it's a pretty decent job, too." Tian Yu nodded.
His style of acting mature into a separate entertainment for the palace officials who are in the midst of tension. For a moment they were comforted by Tian Yu's presence there. His behavior is very funny sometimes very silly, but it's all he does naturally and not made up.
"I'll ask mom for help too." Rubby who had been silent since then now joined in talking.
"Do you have enough troops, honey?" wu Jin Ming asked who did not know if Queen Ivo had a secret army that only he deployed when the circumstances were urgent.
"More than enough. Mother accidentally hid the secret troops in a special camp where they practiced every day. Only palace people know about their whereabouts. I wasn't told by mom but I deliberately found out secretly about this." Rubby smiled grinningly reminiscing about his mischievous behavior.
"Ah, you are this. May Tian Yu not contract your mischief, dear," whispered Wu Jin Ming.
"Dad, Mother. What are you guys talking about?" Tian Yu looked annoyed to see his parents talking in whispers.
"It's adult chat, honey. You can't hear it!" exclaim Rubby with his leisure.
Tian Yu smiled happily. According to his teacher, the two adults who talked to each other in secret sometimes what they talked about was related to making offspring. Tian Yu was consumed by the talk and thought that he would soon have a younger brother.
Wu Jin Ming again continued the discussion with the palace dignitaries and divided the existing troops to leave for the attack site. Of all the existing troops are only able to fill a few points. For his next move, Wu Jin Ming was still waiting for reinforcements to come.
Just a moment ago Wu Jin Ming sent out an emergency summoning spell on the entire demon that was under his control.
Rubby also sends a spell that contains a plea for help to his mother to come for help immediately.
The state of the Holy Tiger Kingdom was truly precarious. The unexpected and massively carried out attack was enough to make Wu Jin Ming in a fog. There was no notification of a challenge to the war or the rumors of the rebels, everything happened so suddenly.
The enemy forces were growing in number and besieged almost the entire territory of the Holy Tiger Kingdom. Fortunately, reinforcements continue to arrive so that civilian casualties can be minimized. The Holy Tiger Kingdom's army did not have a large number, but their abilities far surpassed their opponents.
Far from Wu Jin Ming's estimation, apparently the enemy forces managed to enter the Capital City. They were not ordinary proven opponents of their ability to break through the defenses at the border unnoticed. It seemed like they had the ability to hide their presence from the soldiers on guard, where it was known that the ability was only possessed by people who had quite high levels in the cultivation world.
The number of troops that attacked the Capital City was indeed not too many but they were easily able to break into the palace territory.
The Holy Tiger Imperial Palace was given a protective spell by Wu Jin Ming that was incapable of being penetrated by anyone who was not given any energy marks by him.
The commotion around the palace will be heard into the palace, as well as today. The wrenching screams of the person killed and the loud thump of the energy released struck made the palace of the Holy Tiger Kingdom tremble. Tian Yu who was originally relaxing with Rubby began to realize the irregularities that were happening outside the palace.
They went outside the palace together to see what happened.
Before going outside, Rubby blocked Tian Yu's arm to remind him of something.
"Our country is currently at war. Do not leave this palace empty-handed. Prepare your weapons before stepping off the safe limit!" rubby exclaimed at Tian Yu.
"I understand, Mother." Tian Yu took out the energy sword in his right hand.
Rubby believed in his son. Although he was still very young, he could be relied upon in the face of opponents. If his abilities were to be measured and compared to those of the soldiers, perhaps he was currently on par with a five-star general.
Tian Yu and Rubby sauntered out from within the palace with complete confidence. They looked relaxed even though they knew in a moment that they would bet their lives against their enemies. Panic will only weaken their mental state and make it difficult to concentrate.
There were about 15 enemies waiting for them outside the palace. All the soldiers who stood guard outside the gate were killed in different circumstances. The ferocity of the enemy seems very sadistic, they not only hurt but also make the opponent become out of shape again.
"Haha! So this kingdom is running out of troops, huh! To the extent that a woman and a small child are asked to go to war. How pathetic!"
Jeers after taunts kept coming out from the enemy's mouth welcoming the appearance of Rubby and Tian Yu. Both of them were deliberately wearing ordinary civilian clothes and stripped off their luxury attributes. They also suppressed their energy so that it was completely hidden and not easily detected by its opponent.
"Indeed right. You can come forward to fight these children and women. Maybe you'll all feel memorable and make this your long bedtime story." Rubby prepared with his energy sword and swung it in any direction to provoke his opponent's emotions.
"I salute your guts so much. Hopefully you can get through the fight until it ends in one style." the black-robed man came forward followed by the others, but suddenly he stopped his steps.
"You just wait, let me face them both" he said confidently.
That person breezed forward by himself thinking that Rubby and Tian Yu were easy opponents.
On the other hand Tian Yu's ruthless eyes looked shiny. From then on he had only been silent to their ridicule, but inwardly he said 'You all must die in my hands!'.
"Let me go ahead, Mother!" Tian Yu took a position in front of Rubby.
"All right! Don't be so cruel, honey. It seems they need to be pitied." Rubby stood leaning against a wall for shelter.
"How dare you insult me, Stupid Woman! What a great demon this little devil is!" that guy looks really angry to see Rubby relax instead.
"Hurry up against me, or let you want me to kill you in one strike?" Tian Yu advanced and was at a close distance to his opponent.
"Little talk a lot. Hiyaaah!" that person attacked Tian Yu who had prepared with his sword.
Her small body was so agile it jumped in all directions with a highly trained stance. His movements were almost invisible due to the speed of the movements he was doing. There were only sounds of fighting and flashes of colliding energy visible to others. It's not clear who won or lost the fight.
"Adrrarghhh!" the long cry of the black-robed man signified that he had met his end. A moment later, pieces of his body began to fall to the ground.
All of his comrades gasped at the sight of it all and stared in horror at Tian Yu who was standing quietly floating in the air.
"You think you're the only one who can be cruel!" screeched Tian Yu with a grin.
