The Urban Dao Child

On the far side of the Immortal Plane, Dao Yin was sitting inside a room filled with children. They were being taught about refining artifacts. The girl had no interest in it and was looking out of the window. The teacher on the podium asked, “Dao Yin, could you tell me how many hits are required to refine Purple Tungsten to grade one?”

Dao Yin turned her head to look at the man and said, “Hundred.”

Her voice was cold and calm, this was her usual state, the desks around her were all empty already. Other demon kids feared her. When she came to this sect, a few older students tried to pick on her and the next moment, they all were lying on the floor missing their important limbs. The teacher sensed her disinterest and said, “Dao Yin, I understand that you have mastered the knowledge we have to provide you and that you would rather be cultivating in your room. However, cultivating the mind is also important.”

Dao Yin replied, “I understand Teacher, I lack patience.” calmly.

The man on the pedestal nodded and said, “Very well, since you understand I will not say anything more.” as he smiled.

He was about to continue his lesson when a demon walked inside the room. This demon was a female, she had red hair reaching her waist, her beauty was top notch, only losing to Dao Yin, and her figure was robust. She carried a sword on her waist and said, “Master Hammer, I would like to take Dao Yin with me. We have received the news, that the Humans have found their champion.”

The man was surprised and said, “When did this happen, Master Swallow?”

Swift replied, “Just now. Sect Master will be taking Dao Yin to the Human domain for a duel after she has cleared one final trial.”

The man nodded and was about to say something to Dao Yin when the girl stood up from her chair and looked at him. Hammer smiled and said, “Go ahead, all the best.”

Dao Yin bowed slightly to the man and walked out of the classroom. Red Moon sect followed the structure of a typical school back on modern earth. Swallow did not speak much and led Dao Yin to the top floor where the sect master’s working chamber was located. The whole building was akin to a castle.

When they were climbing the stairs, Swallow asked, “Nervous?”

Dao Yin shook her head and the elder lady nodded in return. They arrived in front of the sect master’s office and Swallow knocked on the door, and an old voice sounded from inside, “Come in.”

Swallow pushed open the door and led Dao Yin inside. A shriveled man was sitting on a rattan cushion with his eyes closed. He asked, “Are you ready, Dao Yin?”

The girl replied with indifference, “Yes, Sect Master.”

“The suddenness of this trial does not bother you?” asked the old man one more time.

Dao Yin replied, “Life is full of uncertainties, thinking about things like this will only put more stress. Stress leads to chaos in the mind.” her answer left the two people surprised, but it was not too much, they have become too used to her words of wisdom.

The old man opened his eyes and said, “Then let’s go.”

Dao Yin nodded and the old man waved his hand. His cultivation was equal to Sun Eckhart, immortal soul realm. With the wave of a hand, three people appeared in the center of nowhere. Dao Yin did not speak, she took out her sword with a shing. Her sword was made of black metal. Like Yang Dao’s plume, her sword was also a Dao Armament.

Swallow also took out her sword but the old man waved his hand to stop her and said, “Yin, you will be facing Daemons, you have to withstand them for a couple of hours.”

Dao Yin nodded and looked in front of her. The Old man snapped his fingers and as if an illusion, Daemons appeared out of nowhere as soon as they spotted Dao Yin, they roared. However, the little girl was not very accommodating and the sword in her hand flickered. She had begun attacking the Daemons like no tomorrow.

Her small figure was like a white ghost, her movements unpredictable, the attacks unfretted. Her hands were like the scythe of the death god. Anywhere a black gleam flickered, the Daemons died. Even when she was faced with the stronger Daemons, her eyes did not show any fluctuation.

She was being observed by the old man and Swallow as the two people stood in the void. The lady said, “I do not understand why, but her eyes do not show a trace of emotion, in the school, there are many senior students who would like to court her, however, she does not even look at them. Why is she so cold?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

The old man shook his head and said, “You are yet to understand that the child in front of us is not a normal demon. This child has the blessing of the heavens. The reason she does not display any emotion is that she has a goal in her mind. Those children you speak of, are they worthy of facing her? They do not like her for what she is without all that power, they like her power. Such a strong companion, who would like to leave her?”

Swallow nodded, and the old man continued, “The girl also has the wisdom that is far beyond her peers, thus she does not have the normal reaction. She will display emotions when she needs to. Do not worry.”

Swallow nodded and they continued watching the little girl dealing with Daemons, just when the last Daemon fell, Dao Yin jumped up and avoided a palm stretched out from the ground below her. She said in a cold voice, “Rat.”

One single word echoed in the surroundings, followed by the echo a strong rumble occurred. A daemon dug climbed up from the ground, the hand earlier belonged to him. Dao Yin did not waste time, when the Daemon was trying to climb, she vanished from mid-air and her sword moved. With a phishing sound. The head of the Daemon fell to the ground.

The phishing sound originated from the blood fountain from its neck. Dao Yin stood there looking around at the scenery, to see if anyone of the vexing rats was left alive. It may seem like a few moments, but two hours have passed already, her white hair was the only thing unstained.

Her robe had turned crimson blue and so did her face, riddled with red dots. The old man appeared behind her and said, “You pass. Now we will go to the human domain, where your next opponent is.”

Dao Yin nodded and followed the old man’s instructions.

…

In The Heavenly Dao Palace, the four people watching the trial sighed. Laohu Bai said, “I wonder how they will react after meeting face to face.”

Feng Yun chuckled and said, “It will be interesting, our heartthrob young master is about to get in a bind.”

Atsuji Kurogame had a solemn expression at the mention of this situation and said, “Or not?”

The three people turned to look at him and Ryu asked, “Old man don’t you know, it is taboo to count the fate of the Dao Child?”

Atsuji Kurogame replied, “I did not count for them, but for someone else. However, I think, we can prevent it from happening.”

Feng Yun raised her eyebrow and said, “Do you know, what the consequences will be?”

She was angry at the mention of intervention. Atsuji Kurogame said, “We lack the fourth disciple. It will be fine to offset the consequences.”

Laohu Bai clicked her tongue and said, “Old man, you really are the wise black turtle.”

…

While Dao Yin traveled the starry seas, the four familiars planned for an intervention. Yang Dao was busy eating out the granary of the Yang Family. His aunts and mother were inside the kitchen, for the past day, ever since the god of gluttony woke up, they were cooking, and he was eating. Yang Ting Ting, Alisha, Athena, and Natalie came to watch the scene curiously and were shocked.

Anything the ladies cooked was served on the same plate in front of Yang Dao right off the stove. However, the boy would blow on it once and start gobbling. Natalie asked, “How can he eat so much and not gain weight?”

Yang Ting Ting said, “This was why we wanted to open him up and see where all the food went.”

The girls exchanged glances and they noticed they all had the same emotion, envy. After all, what a woman won’t give to eat as much as they wished and not gain weight? Yue Ling noticed them all and said, “Do not be envious, it will only do you harm.”

Yang Dao shouted, “Third Aunt, Seconds.”

The lady said, “Rabbit you have forgotten your numbers.” and the kitchen echoed with laughter.
