"You can see me?" Ye Yan asks in surprise after confirming that I am indeed looking at him.

"Yes? Why wouldn't I be able to see you?" I said with a blank face.

"I don't know, maybe due to the fact that I'm a soul." Ye Yan replies sarcastically.

"And?"

"What do you mean and? It's not normal to be able to see a soul." Ye Yan

"Is that so…" I said as I continue to stare at him.

A tick mark appears on his ghostly head. "Would you stop doing that?" Ye Yan

"Doing what?" I ask like I don't know what he's talking about.

"Stop staring at me like that!" Ye Yan yell

"Eh? Why can't I?"

"Because it's impolite, didn't your parent ever teach you manners?!" Ye Yan

I pretend to look sad. "I don't have any parents. I have been an orphan for as long as I can remember."

Ye Yan look uncomfortable after hearing me. "Err… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…"

I cut him off "It's ok, I was adopted by my master so it doesn't bother me anymore." I said like I was never sad in the first place.

"..." Ye Yan

*Stare…* Me

"Would you stop that?!" Ye Yan

"But it's not every day I get to see a ghost so I want to get a good look."

"Fine look all you want" Ye Yan

"Alright, I'm done," I said as soon as he finishes speaking. Another tick mark appears on his ghostly head. I don't know why but I find it fun to mess with Ye Yan.

After Ye Yan calm down he asks, "So what are you doing here young man?"

"I'm tasked to get a sword here as a challenge by my master" I lie

"You don't mean THAT sword do you?" Ye Yan

"Yes, it's THAT sword," I said like I'm just here to pick up a normal weapon.

Ye Yan got angry again and shout, "Are you crazy! The last person that wielded that sword was a Legend rank and he dies to it! What makes you think you can survive?!"

"But Master wouldn't send me on a challenge he doesn't think I can survive." I try to sound as innocent as possible.

"Who is this master of yours?" Ye Yan

"Master's name is Long Jian."

"Long Jian? I never heard of a Long family before." Ye Yan

"He's not from Glory City." I helpfully inform him

"Not from Glory City? Then where is he from?" Ye Yan

"Don't know, he said he been traveling ever since his city got destroyed by a demon beast horde"

After thinking for a while Ye Yan asks "Tell me, why does your master want THAT sword?"

"He doesn't"

He gains another tick mark again "Then why did he send his student to get it!"

"Because it's good training?" I pretend not to know. Ye Yan face went red due to frustration as more tick mark appears on his head.

"Pfft. HAHAHAHAHA." I laugh out loud after I couldn't take it anymore. "You should have seen your face. Hahahaha, I didn't know ghosts can even get that red. Hahaha."

As I continue laughing, Ye Yan finally caught on that I been tricking him this whole time and his face went even redder but this time due to anger and embarrassment.

"Stinking brat! Don't you know who I am?!" Ye Yan said angrily

"Yes, I do. You are Ye Yan, one of the founders of Glory City."

"If you know then why did you trick me?!" Ye Yan

"I couldn't help myself after seeing your initial reaction. Hahaha"

"YOU!!!!..." Ye Yan

"Come on, it's probably boring staying in all this time right? Don't let a little joke get you angry." I said after I finally stop myself from laughing.

"Fine." Ye Yan said after he calms down. He probably has his fair share of dealing with people like me, especially children so he didn't stay mad for long.

"So what are you really doing here?" Ye Yan

"Oh, I'm really here for the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword."

Ye Yan gains a tick mark again. "I thought you know how dangerous that sword is?"

"I do, but I also have a method to subdue it."

"You do? What is it?" Ye Yan

"I'm not stupid enough to tell it to a person I just met."

"Fair enough, but you should know that without me you won't be able to find that sword." Ye Yan

"That's true" 'Not!' I thought

"How about we make a deal. Since your soul is still here, I know of a way to get your body back. You take me to the sword and I'll help you get a new body." Even if I can find the sword by myself, having Ye Yan back can help keep Glory City safe without me having to babysit it.

"Get my body back? What can a brat at bronze rank 5 do." Ye Yan.

I have been showing my cultivation more and more after I enter Holy Orchid Institute. Right now everyone thinks that I'm bronze rank 5 because that's what I show them.

"A lot of things. Master has been traveling around for a long time so he found a lot of weird techniques. One of those techniques can help you get your body back."

"Alright, if you can really get me my body back, I'll take you to the sword." Ye Yan

"What if you run away after getting your body back?" I said acting like an innocent boy again, "How about you take me to the sword and I'll help you get your body back."

"Oh? And how do I know you aren't lying just to get the sword?" Ye Yan. My acting doesn't seem to affect him anymore.

I pretend to think about it before saying "You don't" like it's an obvious answer. I can see another tick mark appear on his head again.

"Why you little!..." Ye Yan

"But even if you don't tell me, I can still look around for the sword. On the other hand, if you don't help me, you might never get another chance like this again."

Ye Yan looks at me and thinks for a few seconds before saying, "Fine. Follow me."

After following Ye Yan for a while, I start to feel the murderous aura I was looking for. The aura gets stronger and stronger the closer we get to the sword.

"This is far enough," I told Ye Yan

"Giving up on the sword already?" Ye Yan smirk like he was expecting it.

"No, it's just that you are tied to the sword. If I take it you might disappear before I help you get your body so I'm going to help you first."

"So you really weren't lying about it." Ye Yan

"Why would I lie about that? Now come over here and do what I say" I take out the body of the Giant Blue Armed Ape leader. It looks the same as when I killed it since time doesn't flow in the place I put them. With this ape, Ye Yan will be at silver rank 5 when he got his body again.

"What's the ape for? I hope you aren't talking about putting my soul in a demon beast body when you say you can get me a body." Ye Yan

"Of course not, to get you a new body we'll need materials. We don't have any treasure capable of creating a human body so we'll have to settle for the next best thing. We have to use another body as the material to create yours. Now get over here and pour your soul force into the ape." I explain to Ye Yan

"Alright, if I wake up to find that I really was put into the body of a demon beast, I'll…" Ye Yan

"Yeah yeah, hurry up will you. I don't have all day." I cut Ye Yan off.

"Kids these days have no respect for their elders." Ye Yan mumbles as he pours his soul force into the ape. Using his soul force, I use the True Body technique to guide it into the ape. As his soul force fills the ape, the ape starts to change. A few minutes later, the changes finish and it left behind a body that looks just like Ye Yan soul.

Ye Yan looked at the body in disbelief. "Is that really my body?"

"Yes, the technique uses your soul force as a base to build a body down to the genetic level based on your soul, you can say that this is your real body. Now don't resist. I have to put your soul into the body or all our works will be for nothing." I said as I operate the True Body technique. Since I already master the technique, I can not only create True Bodies for myself but also for other people. I'm using that section of the technique to bind Ye Yan soul to the body.

After Ye Yan soul enters the body, his body starts to breathe again. Right now Ye Yan is still unconscious because he been in his soul form for a long time. His soul needs to get used to the new body.
