Second Chance: Overlord

Chapter 9 - Light of Hope

When Xion finally got a break and sat down he noticed the System's notifications had blown up. He gently smiled, who knew he would be able to grow so quickly? He was far from how his body felt back on Earth but he was sure he could reach his past level sometime soon. He analyzed his current status chuckling to himself.

Five days ago he was utter trash! No! Worse than that, he was nothing, a mannequin with no life. But now, he had reached the level of Warrior Realm. There was another bonus to this! He was finally able to see the System Store option! This is epic!

In addition to the store it seems like thanks to the Demonic Swordplay skill reaching level five he unlocked another skill! One of the ultimate stances from the Demonic Swordplay style! He quickly analyzed the skill to see what it could do.

[Demonic Sword Stance Lv. 1{One Slash Death}: By using Demonic Aura and Demonic Swordplay the user can utilize this stance to go through any obstacle with a simple slash. With one slash death is certain for those weaker than the user. With one slash grave injury is certain for those of the same realm but higher rank. It will be difficult to defend against, even when the opponent is one entire realm stronger.]

"This…" Xion was shocked! This is a monster skill!! It's very dangerous! He was overjoyed by this, now he had yet another way of fighting against people who are stronger than him! Who the hell would be able to trample over him now?

"Xion!!! Lan!!!" A hysterical screaming voice came from outside the house. As soon as Quinn Lan heard it he jumped up from the floor mat and sprinted outside like a maniac!

Quinn Xiao had gone out with her friend. And when they both arrived they saw the scene in front of them! Quinn Xiao's friend was puzzled, what could've happened? Trees were broken with signs of an intense battle, blood was splattered around the floor and a lot of it. Quinn Xiao on the other hand was worried she knew Quinn Ni wouldn't give up! If he hurt her two strong men she will personally seek his death!

But, as soon as she saw Quinn Lan sprinting out of the house and hurriedly embracing her! The worries she felt melted in the hands of her strong, reliable and goddamned gorgeous husband. Her eyes looked for Xion as they finally met him resting on the door smiling with his eyes closed! Was… her son always… that cool?!

She quickly pushed herself out of Quinn Lan's embrace and sprinted crazily towards Xion hugging him with all her strength as she deeply enjoyed the moment her friend smiled and looked at Quinn Lan who looked back at her smiling back and asked.

"How are you? Master Selene." Quinn Lan said respectfully this was Quinn Xiao's old friend. The one who gave Quinn Lan a home after he was banished from the Sun Branch and the Master of the Moon Branch of the Wave of Life Sect. She chuckled at the way Quinn Lan spoke, they had known each other for so long and yet he spoke to Selene like she was someone he had just met.

"Don't act all silly Lan, or do you have a lingering d.e.s.i.r.e to have your skull cracked?!" Selene said as she knuckled Quinn Lan on the head laughing intimidatingly in a playful way. Quinn Lan laughed and they briefly hugged. They had not seen each other for five years now and so he didn't know how to act in front of her now that Selene was the Master of the Branch!

As Quinn Xiao released Xion from her long and loveable hug she grabbed his hand and walked towards Selene. With every step Xion took he could feel an aura of extreme superiority gushing out from the woman in front of him. It felt cold and gravitational but it was also comforting and familiar. Who was she?!

"Xion, this is my best friend and the Master of the Moon Branch Selene of the Moon…" as the words came out of Quinn Xiao's mouth Xion quickly cupped his hands and bowed slightly with respect.

This woman in front of him right now was the person whom he admired the most in the whole Wave of Life Sect. Even though she lacked the force to battle the Sun Branch for superiority she bumped heads with them constantly. And also, the familiar feeling makes him comfortable around her. She also seems humble and kind-hearted like his mother.

"It's a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet you Master, my name's Xion." He said returning to a normal position and smiling at her warmly like he does with his parents and people he trusts.

Selene blushed, the boy in front of her was too handsome for his age and he also gave off a feeling of superiority! Quinn Xiao had mentioned Xion's sudden burst in growth and intelligence, but the maturity he shows is quite unexpected. Quinn Lan noticed her reaction and chuckled bumping his huge shoulder against her bringing her back from her thoughts. She quickly regained her composure and a slight but kind smile formed on her face as she answered.

"The p.l.e.a.s.u.r.es all mine, cute boy, I am Selene." Her smile made Xion blush as well and her attitude was extremely alluring. Quinn Lan glared at Selene in a playful manner. He was dumbfounded right now, she always bullies him around but treats Quinn Xiao and Xion in such a kind manner.

"What are you doing here anyway, Selene?!" Quinn Lan asked returning to normal. Selene glared at him, it was so scary seeing her look at him that way. Why was he the only one receiving her death glares?!

"I was just accompanying Xiao to the market. When she began to speak of her prodigy son and how she wanted to enroll him in the Moonlight Academy." She said in a carefree way.

Moonlight Academy?! As soon as Xion heard her words he was puzzled. He had no knowledge of such a thing, the only place he knew to go and study was the Moon Branch Library. But if there was an academy, that'd be awesome! He'd also get to know other people and understand more about the sect and the world of Rain. He could also test his abilities with other capable experts.

Xion looked at Quinn Xiao and then at Quinn Lan who were looking at him with a proud face that no one had ever shown him but his Master on Earth. Everywhere he looked there was hate, envy, animosity! But never a face so proud!

"What do I have to do?!" Xion asked excitedly! Selene began looking for something on her storage ring and took out a black orb that seemed to have thousands of small white lights, the orb was the size of a softball.

"Do you know Aura Control? If you do, just insert all your Aura into this Cultivation Orb Identifier." Selene said as she bent down slightly. As soon as she did Xion's eyes quickly fell on them huge perfectly round melons, they were making him feel all hot inside. He had never had the experience of sticking the log but his Master back on Earth was a leecher and he had seen woman of great quality… but this…. Selene was a goddess of goddesses!

Selene knew what he was looking at, her face changed slightly as she bent up again and coughed. She then lowered her hand so the Orb could reach Xion. This boy might be handsome but for one he was just twelve years old and he was his nephew to add! Why the hell was she blushing?! Why did she feel enticed by him looking at her in such a way?

Xion snapped out of the daze and placed his hand on the orb. He could feel that the orb wished to receive energy, that energy was what they called aura. As Xion controlled his Demonic Aura so that it wouldn't get mixed with his Cultivation Aura and sent the energy inside the ball it started to glow brightly. First bright white, next it was yellow and then blue and yellow.

Everyone was extremely shocked by the result! How could this young boy in front of them reach the Warrior Realm?! And not just the first rank but the second?! Quinn Lan was flabbergasted he knew Xion was strong! But to think that he was almost at his level at such a young age. How far could Xion go if he kept at it?!

Selene looked at Quinn Xiao who was also quite puzzled. Quinn Xiao had never thought that her son was a genius amongst geniuses! She looked at Xion in a new light, this was a look that had long surpassed pride! It was a look of hope, not just for them but for the whole Wave of Life Sect! He was capable of reaching such a stage learning by himself! It would be a sin to not provide him with the best education possible.

Xion couldn't understand why they looked at him with such an expression. But he soon remembered, he was just twelve years old even Uncle Ni and his pops spent ten to twenty years of hard training to reach the stage Xion was in at the moment. Would they see him as a monster now?! Would they stop being so kind-hearted towards him because he was a freak?! All these thoughts crowded Xion's mind like black spots.

But, all of Xion's worries quickly melted away as both his parents hurriedly embraced him. They were both acting like they had witnessed an astronomical event… a miracle. But Xion couldn't quite understand it, he knew he had grown too quickly but why are they… so extremely happy?!

Selene watched the beautiful scene unfold and now she understood that air of superiority Xion had. This boy is going to turn the tides not just for the Moon Branch, but for the whole Wave of Life Sect or even further than that. The only person at the academy that could face against him would be that other boy, and yet, that one is already about to graduate and is 17 years old. To think that a twelve year old that had zero potential like Xion would reach the Warrior Realm.…. What scary growth, Selene was even feeling a bit envious she began cultivating when she was ten and had reached the Warrior Realm by the time she was twenty, and that was considered crazy fast! Now that she was thirty-five she had finally reached her peak at the Legend Realm and hit a bottleneck that felt impossible to breakthrough.

As she left, Xion and his parents went inside the house as her mother prepared a feast to celebrate! Their son was going to the Moonlight Academy this was something they could've only dreamed of a couple of days before!
