Douluo Dalu Within A Martial World

Chapter 29 - One Year Later.....



The sun was shining brightly over Sky Fortune City. The total population of Sky Fortune Kingdom was roughly 50 million people, and roughly one tenth of that, lived in the Kingdom\'s capital.

Sky Fortune City!

To the mortals and cultivators with common backgrounds, it was akin to a Holy Land of cultivation! Many Houtian cultivators and countless Pulse Condensation cultivators lived within the city\'s walls however there was several who reigned above them all....

Xiantian!

A cultivator that exceeded the limits of their own mortality and could fly in the sky! They had a lifespan of 300-400 years and within the boundaries of the Sky Fortune Kingdom was a peak powerhouse. There was only one Xiantian Realm cultivator who supported the Royal Family of Sky Fortune Kingdom, but within the Seven Profound Martial House, even students there were unsure how many Xiantian there were.

The Seven Profound Martial House had waters that even the Royal Family of the Sky Fortune Kingdom didn\'t dare to tread. The power behind this branch house, while still just a branch house, was not by any means small.

"Hey! Little Li! Why are you running? It\'s so early in the morning, peak traffic doesn\'t start for at least another two hours!".

A guard came running towards the biggest gate into Sky Fortune Kingdom, covered in armor and sweat from head to toe. His face was pale and his tone was cracked.

"Guests! We have special guests coming!".

The other guards brows frowned when they heard the obscure words of Little Li, they started whispering before a violent banging noise came from outside the main gate.

Little Li\'s eyes widened and yelled at the group of guards.

"This guest came to the eastern gate but his mount was too big to enter! The southern main gate is the only gate big enough for this elders mount to get through!".

The shaking increased in both magnitude and time. With every passing second the faint sound of an elephants roar and stomping legs echoed throughout Sky Fortune City.

\'What is going on! Just who is out there!\'.

The City Guards quickly and efficiently opened up the main gate to Sky Fortune City and their eyes widened and their heads tilted up to greet the unbelievably massive beast in front of them.

Little Li had already seen the beast once before at the eastern gate, and even he was enraptured by the beasts domineering aura. He quickly snapped out of it and bowed at the sight of the massive elephant.

"Lord Bing! I\'m so glad you found the southern gate, can I please escort your [Tempest Gale Mastodon] to where the beast ranch is?".

The giant [Tempest Gale Mastodon] didn\'t move an inch, but the guards felt a cool breeze come over them and a cold sweat came over them.

"It seems the City Guards here are a bit slow. If I was an enemy, you\'d all be dead".

A wizened old voice echoed out from behind the group of guards, and they turned and looked down at the short figure in front of them.

Although the words of this short figure hurt their pride somewhat, it meant nothing to these group of Body Transformation Martial Artists.

What was their pride worth when compared to their life?!

The smile almost grew bigger when the figure spoke.

"My granddaughter and I would like to formally enter Sky Fortune Kingdom.... I am aware that applications to enter the Seven Profound Martial House start soon?".

Little Li came forward and bowed once more.

"Yes Lord Bing! In fact the applications start in three days! I\'m sure your granddaughters talent, she\'ll be guaranteed a place in the Seven Profound Martial House".

The short figure nodded slightly at these words, before a fairy-like voice echoed from the carriage on top of the [Tempest Gale Mastodon].

"Grandfather? Have we arrived?".

The City Guards gazes were unconsciously drawn to the unbelievably sweet voice coming from the carriage, and many of them gulped as they looked up.

Lord Bing smiled.

"It seems you\'re awaken Xue\'er. Come down and walk with your grandfather for a bit. All that time in the carriage, you need a breath of fresh air....".

Jade like skin that was as smooth and radiant as nephrite. A sensual and mȧturė body that didn\'t belong to a sixteen year old girl. Her curvy figure couldn\'t be hidden behind such loose fitting robes, and the eyes of the City Guards were drawn to her ċhėst, hɨps and waist.

What made this fairy so unique, was the faint white sword image between her brows, causing her to have a strange mixture of both a heavenly beauty and a powerful martial lord.

She was dressed in a fine white robe with black patterns stitched into the sleeves, which complimented her calm black eyes, which was full of curiosity and excitement as she gazed at the inner city walls several li away.

"So this is Sky Fortune City.... it\'s quite nice, don\'t you think grandfather?".

She smiled as she mentioned the word grandfather, which caused the City Guards to go red in the face as they gazed at such a heavenly beauty.

The short figure rolled his eyes and his figure vanished and reappeared on the head of the [Tempest Gale Mastodon]. The masked grandfather patted the giant beasts head and gestured for Xue\'er to come back aboard the carriage.

"Come Little Xiang, you\'ve come a long away, you deserve a good rest for a while".

The massive beast roared in contentment before stomping unhurriedly towards the nearby beast ranch. Little Li attempted to follow them, but was forced to trail behind as his speed couldn\'t match the [Tempest Gale Mastodon].

He took a deep breath before gazing up at the ten meter tall beast, his body still covered in sweat.

The guard\'s mind was drawn to the faint breeze that the short masked figure exerted, and the complete lack of sound and true essence caused his instincts to raise slightly.

\'His movement technique was astounding as well. No sound, no true essence leaking out, no presence or aura exerted.... it was as if an invisible shadow passed right through me....\'.

His eyes were once again drawn to the short figure sitting on top of the [Tempest Gale Mastodon\'s] head.

Little Li came from a small martial arts family within Sky Fortune Kingdom and his own attainments in martial arts were not small either. He had reached the peak of the Body Transformation Stage at age 27 and was only a little bit away from reaching the Pulse Condensation Realm.

A small fire burned within Little Li and he looked up to the sky and clenched his fist tightly!

\'I will become just like Lord Bing one day!\'.

A seven year old sneezed nearby.
