When Malakor registered who was in front of him. He got a sudden burst of fear. Why? Because, it was this same boy, that defeated him 11 years ago, during the Void Invasion.
…
Xero also recognized who he was, but he couldn't quite remember his name… Xero remembered that it was a sunny day in Luminary City, and that he was 5 years old. He was wearing a yellow hoodie, with black shorts, and was wearing sandals. The only reason why he had even left his house was because there was a limited time golden coupon for Little Panda Custard Buns.
Xero was lounging on his couch, reading his favorite manhua. When suddenly, he noticed a golden coupon on the counter. It was untouched, just conveniently placed there. Xero went to go see what it was, and his eyes widened, as his mouth watered. It was… Little Panda Custard Buns 80% discount offer! Apparently, if you got this coupon, and went into any convenience store that was selling custard buns. You would be able to get free custard buns for 400 years! F*cking 400! Free of charge, the company would take care of the costs. This offer, was too tempting for Xero. He immediately got dressed and headed outside.
"Xiaoluo dear! Where are you going?" Lin Mei, his mom saw him leaving the house and was curious.
Xero simply turned a little, showing the coupon.
Lin Mei understood immediately what he meant, "Oh. You know what's puzzling me the most? You've been eating those snacks for so long, how are you not even obese?"
It was quite confusing. Xero never got obese from the snacks. The reason? It's because of his stomach acid. His stomach acid is stronger than that of an average human. It surpasses even the most fatal poisons in the world, and could realistically burn a hole through the Earth. His digestive system is also normal, so it would still be a mystery on why he never gets turns into a fatass…
After that, Xero went out of his house's way, closing the small gate behind him. He lived in a small villa near Luminary City. About, a hundred-thousand li away. For Xero, this was just a light run to his destination. He immediately sprinted, and arrived there in just 5 minutes. It was quite relaxing for him. His face wasn't red, and there was a single drop of sweat on his forehead. After, he strolled to the convenience store.
The store had been open for 800 years! Damn, the grind is insane.
But as fate would have it…
Suddenly, the sky turned darkish purple and a portal that stretched fifty-thousand li around formed and pulsed with dark energy. Loud lightning strikes, and creepy noises from the sky… This was nothing Qinghai had ever experienced before.
Screams from locals could be heard,
"What the hell is going on?!"
"We're gonna die!"
Then, a massive inhuman figure with energy eyes, and a broken halo with large wings, descended from the portal along with an army, that looked purplish, and were riding horses. It seemed that inhuman figure was the leader, and cause of this. It had an aloof "arrogant" air around it, and seemed aware of the power it possessed.
The void army immediately attacked the city with a loud noise, with trumpets.
The Seven Sage Committee Group was called, and they came faster than imagined. Flying on their swords, while wearing their uniforms.
Master Akira, suddenly warned, "This is unlike anything we've encountered. Everyone! Stay strong!"
"Sir yes sir!" the group said.
They attacked, beating some of the army, but they seemed to possess a highly sophisticated regenerative system, that allowed them to regenerate from fatal wounds. Master Akira's eyes widened, then…
SHING!
Akira's chest was sliced, an "X" viewable. He coughed out blood as he fell back and struggled to get up… His remaining members were exhausted and injured, their swords falling one by one. They closed their eyes…
Xero was walking on the sidewalk. The battle was unfolding and it seemed to go into the Void God's favour! But… the kid really did not give a flying sh*t, and just continued walking. Nonchalant bastard…
Malakor (Void God and leader of this entire thing) roared and was about to step on the convenience store and some other buildings around it. Its foot was enormous! It destroyed the building and the… F*cking convenience store! Xero saw it, and looked up with an annoyed expression on his face…
"This was a one in a lifetime opportunity…" He thought. Then, looking up to the Void God's foot, his eyes glowed reddish golden and… The Void God's outer body exploded, into particles! It fell down with a loud thud, the remnants of its spirit fading away. He took one last look at the person who defeated him…
A 5 year old kid..? Jesus Christ…
Xero then extended his hand, and warped its form into an orb and sealed it in a dimensional chamber.
"Hopefully, it won't be annoying again… Man, I was really hoping for those 400 years…" He thought while he was at it.
The Void army then burst into particles, their forms evaporating. The sky returned back to normal, and it was raining.
Immediately, help was gotten, and the "Sealing HQ members" to dispose of the soul remnants.
The f*ck was up with this planet? His fatal mistake after all… was trying to invade Earth.
Xero was quite a bit sad, and fled the scene. His hands in his hoodie pockets.
Akira saw everything unfold, his mouth gaped in awe. With just a look?! He killed and sealed the Void God just like that!?
Immediately, news reporters and authorities came to thank Akira for his heroic act! And he was rushed to the hospital, along with members that got injured. They were eventually awarded with "Cultivator of The Year" by the Chinese Cultivator Administration. And that was how… Akira was credited with the act.
…
Spirit Incarnate Malakor was stunned as he retrieved the flashback.
"Are you f*cking serious?! A reunion with him!?" He thought while he was sweating profusely.
I mean, I completely understand bro! Who would want to be hit by this freak again, let alone twice!
Honestly speaking, Xero didn't really know what to do now. He didn't expect him to be here, so he was hesitant.
If Xero were to use "Seven Art of Dao: Heavenly Gaze" on him again or even hit him, his soul would be shattered, and he would cease to exist! So… the best thing Spirit Incarnate Malakor could think of… was to play dead.
While Xero was hesitating, Malakor tipped over and hit its head on the ground. Playing dead.
Xero: "…"
Immediately, the TV displayed the results.
MFV (Magical Force Value): ????
Grade: SSR+
Cultivation: ERROR
"What the hell! Student Xero hadn't even thrown the first blow yet!" One cried out in shock
One of the examiners was in disbelief, their mouth agape. "H-how..? It must be an error!"
Another examiner corrected him saying, "No. That can't be. We checked the system yesterday for any failures, remember? There wasn't a single one."
"I see now!"
One examiner shouted with excitedly, "Could it be… The Immense Godly Gaze? A technique used in ancient years… Legends say, whoever possesses this ability, is comparable to a cultivation sage!"
Xero: "…"
Spirit-Incarnate Malakor: "…"
Yes! That must've been it! What else could explain the cause?
Xero exited the large hall, and immediately everyone was gossiping and whispering.
One examiner hurriedly rushed over to Xero, gripping his hand. "Student Xero! You are the future of our school!"
…
"According to the regulations, you will be admitted into class advanced!"
…
"We hope that you'll achieve greater feats in the future!"
Well. There goes his plan for a low-key high school life. Not only was it thrown out of the damn window, it was even pissed and spat on.
...
The sun was setting, it was the evening. The sky casting an orange, purplish beauty of a hue. Xero was walking home in peace, he brought out the paper detailing his admittance into class advanced.
Xero sighed in his heart.
This'll be a real struggle…
