Eventually, the masked man moved. He disappeared from Tsashi's sight. Without wasting any time, Tsashi crushed the talisman in his hand. In this world, medicine, treasures, weapons, and talismans were all categorized by grades. The lowest grade being mortal grade, above which came Spirit, Earth, Sky, and more. Tsashi had only heard about Sky Grade and above but he had never seen any treasure of such a high grade. There was no Sky grade treasure in all of Weng. Even in a nearby kingdom, there was a similar case. The highest grade treasure in all of Weng was only at Earth grade. The talisman that Tsashi had used was a mid-level Spirit grade talisman called Divine Protection Talisman. It was so expensive that ordinary people couldn't even afford it. Only large clans were able to buy one. Its primary advantage was that it could stop the attacks from early gold core realm cultivators. Although, after repeated attacks, it could be broken. It would nevertheless provide some protection. This talisman was another life-saving treasure given to him by his grandpa for his protection. It cost a great fortune, but the Tsai clan could still afford it Tsashi could only hope that his grandfather would arrive to save him before his shield got broken through. The assassin kept attacking in all likelihood because he knew that it could be broken. After being attacked repeatedly for 2 minutes, cracks finally started to appear in the shield. 'It would not hold out longer.' Tsashi thought. "I'll see how long you can hide in there, kid." Said the assassin. The masked man stood in front of Tsashi with his Knife in his hands. This knife was a low-grade Spirit treasure as well, but it was still weaker than the mid-grade Spirit talisman of Tsashi. Tsashi could now feel Qi in the air, getting restless. "Sky Shattering slash!!" Roared the masked man as he used his Martial technique. Before Tsashi could ready himself, a blinding knife slash came towards him. Although this skill was not pretty strong in the eyes of a stronger cultivator, from Tsashi's point of view, it looked like a skill that could stir the heavens, destroying the sun and the Moon. As soon as this attack touched his barrier, the barrier broke like shattered glass. Although this attack was strong, Tsashi knew that his shield could've broken off at least one attack like this, but since it was already cracked after being attacked so much, it shattered instantly. "Flash steps!" Tsashi used his movement skill and dodged the attack, but as the attack was too fast, it was still able to cut graze shoulder. Blood began flowing from the cut. Although this was Tsai clan's movement skill that Tsashi had practiced since the beginning and had high success in, it still wasn't fast enough to save him from the onslaught of a Gold Core Realm cultivator ultimately. Tsashi grunted from the pain after being injured; blood flowed from his shoulder continuously. Tsashi knew that if he wasn't at the peak of Body Refining Realm and had a strong body, it was a high possibility that his whole shoulder would've been cut off. Tsashi turned back to look at the assassin, but he wasn't there. He looked around but couldn't find the assassin. He felt someone's gaze lock onto him like a poisonous snake that was looking at his prey. "Playtimes over, kid," Said somebody from the back. He turned around, but before he could do anything, a large hand caught him by his neck. He fought to free himself, but couldn't do anything. That masked man smashed him on the ground again and again. Tsashi felt like every bone of his body was broken. He was shedding blood all around. "Time to go, he'll be here soon," muttered the masked man before he tossed Tsashi in the air. Before Tsashi could fall to the ground, a voice came. It was the assassin's voice. "Roaring Tiger Fist." A fist landed on Tsashi's chest, making him fly off like a broken kite smashing on tree after tree, before finally landing on the ground. His pulse and breathing had stopped. The assassin checked his body before smiling. "Mission accomplished," The assassin muttered, but suddenly his face changed. He could feel a tsunami of killing intent coming towards him. 'Looks like he'll be here in a few seconds,' the assassin thought as he looked towards the south. Without wasting any time, he disappeared from that spot. After nearly 10 seconds, somebody else arrived at that spot. An older man. He possessed a head full of white hair and a long shiny white beard. He was wearing a bright robe with Lions on it. He was Tsai clan's Patriarch and Tsashi's grandfather Tsa ki. Although he looked old, he was full of vitality and strength. He looked around and soon caught the view of Tsashi. He immediately appeared beside him. He held him in his arms as he checked on him, but he couldn't feel any heartbeat. He got scared. If anyone else were there, they would be shocked after witnessing one of the strongest men in the kingdom with such expressions. But he wasn't frightened of any enemy; he was scared for Tsashi's safety. "Although I couldn't save your father, I'll save you Jietsu. You deserve to live and witness more of this world," muttered the old man as he looked at Tsashi. He brought out an ordinary-looking box from his spatial ring and opened it. Abruptly, a vast amount of Qi spread in the atmosphere. Within that box was an ancient-looking pill with some strange patterns wriggling around. He instantly took it out and put it inside Tsashi's mouth. "I truly hope that this pill is as miraculous as that person described," Tsa ki muttered to himself. This pill was something that Tsa ki had received after saving the life of a Mysterious cultivator. That mysterious cultivator was being trailed by a group of people and was heavily injured. At that time, Tsa ki was just passing by from there, and when he noticed it, he decided to lend a helping hand. He was taken aback to see that the people chasing him were all above the gold core realm and only slightly weaker than himself; they were probably not from the Weng kingdom. But even so, since he was stronger, he killed them all with ease and saved that person. That guy was extremely thankful and gave him this pill as thanks. He said that this pill was called 'life-giving pill.' Tsa ki had never heard of this pill, but the description made him shocked. That mysterious cultivator said that this pill could cure most of the injuries and even revive a dead person, if that person hadn't been dead for more than 2 minutes and if no vital part had been cut off like the head. Tsa ki waited with eager breath for the effects to take place, and finally, it did. He could see the wounds healing with naked eyes. Tsashi's breathing returned as well; his heart started thumping again. Tsa ki was now very happy. Eventually, Tsashi opened his eyes slowly.
"Everything is fine now, Jietsu. Grandpa won't let anybody hurt you anymore. Let's go home now; your mother must be waiting for you," said Tsa ki while smiling at Tsashi. However, to his dismay, he received no response. He looked at Tsashi only to see him looking back at him, but his lifeless eyes had no focus, and his face was expressionless. He was just lying there limply. "Jietsu??? Are you alright? Say something..." Tsa ki said in a tender voice. Unfortunately, he received no reaction at all from Tsashi. All he saw was a pair of lifeless eyes, staring back at him. "Alright, let's go home. You're probably tired, you need some rest." After saying so, Tsa ki flew towards the Long Manor while carrying Tsashi in his arms. Tsa ki entered the mansion with Tsashi in his arms and straightaway went to Tsashi's courtyard. His courtyard was beautiful and huge, which was to be expected as it was, after all the dwelling of the genius young master of the Tsai clan. The outside was cove
After getting up from bed, Tsarayu walked towards his wardrobe. There were many luxurious clothes inside with varying designs for specific occasions. Tsarayu picked a few out of them to wear. As he got dressed, he decided to wear a golden robe just like the one that Tsa ki often wears, the robe with Lions embroidered on it. After getting himself ready, Tsarayu looked at himself in the mirror. He had to admit that he certainly did look like the prince of an empire. No wonder the others were so jealous 'If I was as handsome as I am in my right now in my previous life, how amazing my life would have been,' thought Tsarayu as he laughed. He had long hair and thin lips, golden pupils, and a beautiful smile. His luxurious yet straightforward clothes, coupled with his handsome appearance, mesmerized even himself. After admiring his appearance for what seemed like a long time, Tsarayu decided that it was finally time to go out. He opened the door and took his first step out. He was g
'Is this it? Is this how my life ends?'That was the first thought that came to Tsarayu's mind. That day was supposed to be a day of celebration for him.It was his 19th birthday and after much hesitation; he had finally gathered up enough courage to propose to his childhood friend. A proposal, to which Ha’na responded in kind and accepted; the feelings they had for each other were mutual. The girl he had loved for such a long time had finally become his girlfriend.Unfortunately, things don't always go the way we want them to be.On the way home, a man ran towards him. Catching up from behind that man was a middle-aged woman screaming 'THIEF' at the top of her lungs.Tsarayu was able to tell that the man running away was a thief. He wanted to step aside and let the guy pass through to save himself some trouble, but his conscience wouldn't let him do so. When he saw the woman's sad and tearful expression, running after the thief, his heart grew soft.Tsarayu decided to try to stop the
Tsashi was merely eight years old when he achieved the peak of the Body Refining Realm, which was the tenth stage. Throughout the entire country, he was at the top, his talent matchless amongst the people of his generation. Even the kids from the Royal Clan weren't a match for him. But even then, he never grew complacent and always kept working hard. There was only one source of motivation behind his hard work. After his father's death, he wanted to be stronger. Strong enough so that his mother won't have to worry about him. He wanted to have the strength to uncover the identity of the people behind his father's death and take his revenge. He wanted to be strong enough to protect everyone; so that none of his family members would ever be endangered just as how his father was. Even as a child, Tsashi knew the importance of strength.He continually strove to better himself, working hard every day to achieve his goals. Every time he made a breakthrough, he would happily run to his mothe

Tsarayu took his first step inside the Martial arena. After walking a few steps, Tsarayu had realized that some people had started noticing him and were staring at him now."Everyone, we are so lucky today. We have the privilege to see our Clan's youngest generation's strongest genius, Young master Tsa shi.... hahaha." Someone's mocking voice came from nearby. Tsarayu looked in that direction and recognized the guy who spoke. He was called Tsa Jin. He was also part of the Tsa Clan but was from a small branch family.Tsa Clan had quite a rich heritage in this kingdom. It had quite a few branch families spread throughout the nation while the main family resided in the capital. A competition was held in those branch families every year to see the performance of the younger generation, and the winners of those competitions were rewarded with a chance to come to the main family for cultivation and get better opportunities and resources in life.Tsa Jin was one of these few branch family ki
