Suddenly he was hoisted up by Han, Long Yu just gave a tired smile before falling asleep while holding his teddy backpack like a stuffed toy. As he was carried away to his resting place, people gave a wide berth to him.

Rong Niu was watching closely to everything, the more she watched more she was impressed, such discipline, strength and knowledge truly impressive, but all this set alarms inside her mind, what kind of power was behind the development of the child, among all the powers present his father may have been the strongest, rank 6th Immortal, stronger than any of this so called powers present, even the elders of her sect are immortal, but even with all help in order to reach peak of Zifu Disciple to be heralded as genius she was still in twentieth year of birth yet someone who was 7 years old already at the middle of Zifu disciple rank, if she was not mistaken at the beginning Long Yu was rank 4th Zifu Disciple, within a day he rose two ranks. Even the most callous nincomp.o.o.p can be made immortal if enough resources are spend on them, thus Long Yu's power can be explained but his knowledge, his firm foundation, no no matter what can only be gained by hard work . Maybe finally after such long time she might have found someone who could relate to her someone worthy of her time and friends.h.i.+p. Yup it is decided she will befriend Long Yu not because she was ordered to but because she wants to. So with that in mind she approached Long Yu's teammates who were keeping an eye on him like a hawk.

Rong Niu: "h.e.l.lo I hope I am not disturbing you all.", as she approached Tina.

Tina: "No not at all, you are not disturbing us in the slightest. Oh where are my manners, my name is Tina.", as she extended her hands in order to shake it with Rong Niu.

Rong: "My name is Rong Niu, and I hope we could work together to get out of the mess."

Tina: "Me too sister me too, this fine ladies with me are Veronica and Jessie.", she introduced the female teammates near them, who simply waved their hands towards Rong Niu with a kind smile on their faces.

Rong: "I hope the kid gets all right he was working really hard and there are only a few hours at most before the attack."

Everyone nodded somberly at that, Jessie, "Our team is pro at exploring ruins, but still if not for him many would have died."

Rong latched into that piece of information, "So he joined you for this exploration temporary."

Tina sent a discreet glare at Jessie, the blabbermouth of the group, for letting slip the information even if this level of info was mostly inconsequential, but still some of them are very sensitive and secretive which they would take with them to their grave.

Tina tried to change the current topic of discussion, "So where are your teammates."

Rong snorted in an unladylike manner, "Teammates, more like h.o.r.n.y pigs maybe planning to impress me uh I hate it sometime I wish to run away but I am stuck with them, even the couple of girls present are trying to hook me up with the so called 'Genius boy of our Sect', ugh it is disgusting. Enough about me what about you all.", they chatted with each other as they warmed up with each other.

The time pa.s.sed on and after almost an hour, Long Yu woke up, he was startled at first before remembering where he was, after taking a deep breath he relaxed himself, he left his room only to find his male teammates playing some card game with each other, while the female members were busy gossiping with Rong Niu.

Long Yu: "Hey everyone what is the situation?"

Shadow Wolves, "Long Yu are you alright, did you rest well, do you need anything??", his teammates fired one question after another at him.

Long Yu: "I am fine and I have rested well and I do not need anything at the moment."

Rong Niu: "Well the child wonder himself, what you did was a miracle kid."

Long Yu: "It was not miracle anyone with half descent skill and knowledge could pull it off."

Rong Niu: "Not everyone, I have seen plenty not everyone could do what you did out there, so stop being humble and take the credit when it is due. But on unrelated note may I ask you a question."

Long Yu nodded at that before replying, "Please ask away."

Rong Niu, "Who is your master?"

Long Yu even though he was fully drowsy was fully awoke at that, he noticed many people who were nearby discreetly trying to listen through their conversation. Long Yu gave an apologetic look before answering, "I am very sorry but my master made me promises never to reveal his/her name until given permission to."

Rong Niu gritted her teeth at that including many as they failed to discern his master's ident.i.ty for now, but then Rong Niu, "If I may ask how strong is your master."

Long Yu thought hard at this question he had never bothered asking how strong or at what level his masters are, "To tell you the truth I never bothered asking them but a few months back I had a scuffle with a douche bag who hurt me bad, I had gone to a fair with my martial siblings and got lost in the crowd during that time I accidently b.u.mped into that fellow who tried to kill me because of that, that fellow even if he was a bad meanie he was still a low level immortal and his father was the boss of the region, who himself was peak Golden Immortal level.", at that everyone was enraptured with the tale as more and more people gather trying to solve the enigma that was Long Yu.

Long Yu took a deep breath as he continued, "When my martial siblings found me I was already lying on the ground, bones broken that prodigal son had used his aura to bring me down on the ground as I was trying to stay awake from all that pain, my siblings arrived as well as the father of that douche. I do not remember much but I clearly remember one of my siblings treating me and the others they did not move from their position but I clearly remember seeing the boss and his son including his followers were lying on their floor begging mercy from their siblings as their bones broke from my siblings' aura, same way the douche broke mine. Later on I heard they were executed for harming me."

A chill went down on everyone's spine what kind of strength does one require to break the bones of an immortal just by presence alone, Long Yu continued, "I had asked once how strong compared to master were my martial siblings."

Rong Niu gulped as she asked, "How strong are they?"

A ghost of a smile crept on his face as he answered, "Even if my siblings were to go all out they will not be able to scratch my master.", at that everyone went pale, whereas previously an unknown feeling of happiness, pleasure and elation rose from within Long Yu aka Ryuu, 'what is this pleasant happy feeling I want to feel more.'

Suddenly a deep rumbling horn was heard signifying the arrival of enemy forces, the cavern entrance was converted into that of a fort, as anti climbing array was applied by some array masters in order to prevent the spiders from climbing, as the cultivators stood on top of the walls, the Shadow Wolves raced to their positions, Long Yu was ushered to where the Royalties were present, Rong Niu following him closely.

Long Yu greeted the rank 5th Wanxiang Adept, 'Gorilla', by giving a short bow, "Your Highness."

The female Gorilla, "Normally I would have granted you a boon but this current situation does not bide for it, still I am instructing my children if the situation is dire, to flee while taking you, you are still a child and from what I know if you could hold out for a few more days you could be teleported out of this accursed forest."

Long Yu: "I beg your pardon, your majesty, but I must protest I may be still a child but I am still a warrior I will never show my back to my enemies."

The female Gorilla looked into his eyes before smiling which felt hideous and scary to Long Yu because of those scars, before giving her entire attention towards her enemies, a low grunting of Gorilla was heard, which Long Yu heard clearly as his eyes went wide open, 'kid, I know you can understand us unlike those other human, who can only speak after we gain the ability to converse in your language on reaching Wanxiang Adept rank, so listen carefully, sometimes it is wise to retreat if could win later and save more lives now retreat is optimal, many of your brethrens will do so but will get hunted because retreat may not be possible without our help, us who knows every nook and cranny of this forest, so stick closely to my children live today to fight another day. If it were before this crisis we coul d be good friends, me my husband and you. Remember to grow strong so as you do not feel despair like today, remember to learn more as to not feel ashamed like today and more importantly, remember your comrades who stood by you while facing death, my name is 'Chamelie', the ape Empress.

Long Yu wiped a stray tear that flowed down his cheeks, his eyes blazed with determination, as he replied with a grin in the native tongue of the beasts completely astounding those who did not know, 'Empress Chamelie, my real name is Ryuu, I am a 'Dragon', and I will see who those cretins has guts to take my head, and after everything is over I would love to be your guest at the after Victory party along with all my comrades.', as he gave a heartwarming smile showing his resolve to everyone present near him who responded in kind, as beast all chirped and growled with determination. Thus began one of the bloodiest battles in the forest biome of the school trials.
