Douluo Dalu Within A Martial World

Life in Green Valley Town changed after Bing Xian left. After killing those Body Transformation Martial Artists, many of the villagers saw how much a difference in strength cultivation could make and urged their young ones to start practicing martial arts in order to lay a proper foundation for their growth.

Especially after seeing Bing Xian, a six year old, kill over a dozen fully grown armored men, they realized how much power practicing the martial path would give.

This meant extra to Wang Xue, who had decided to follow Bing Xian, and had received the [Immortal Midnight Crane] blood to help increase her talent and constitution.

Every single day, at the break of dawn, she drank a single sip of the silly crane's blood, and practiced a rudimentary level martial art, trying to use the energy in the beast blood to stimulate her physique.

"Phew.... Father said my Martial Talent had reached Rank 2 earlier. This blood Sir Bing gave me must be a divine treasure if it can increase ones innate martial talent".

Bing Xian was thankful that the silly crane didn't hear that or he'd never hear the end of it.

Other than increasing her Martial Talent to Rank 2, Wang Xue also managed to reach the 1st Stage of Body Transformation! Even without a cultivation technique, all that Life Destruction Level beast blood laid a sturdy enough foundation for her to reach the 1st Stage of Body Transformation; the Strength Training Stage!

This stage consolidates a person's strength, allowing them to use their bodies locked potential and unleash a strength that could kill a mortal in one hit!

Wang Xue let out another deep breath and stretched her back gracefully, her buxom figure emphasized in the morning dew, and her pale unblemished skin shone radiantly under the rising sun.

She had grown even more beautiful after taking the beast blood!

It was only natural. The beast blood would've expelled any impurities hidden on both the outside and inside the body. Any small scars or tiny freckles would've been expunged, leaving behind an even more gorgeous Wang Xue.

"We've got to be ready for when Sir Bing returns. It's already been close to four months and the Zhu Clan could come at any time. If they arrive and Sir Bing isn't here then....".

A cold expression marked Wang Xue's beautiful features.

She knew what would happen to a girl if they were captured by the enemy. More so if they were a women with superior refinement, beauty or background.

Her beautiful black eyes shone with a hateful light as she walked back to the village center. Her swan like grace and crane like elegance were becoming more and more apparent as the days went by, and many of the village boys, and even some ȧduŀt men, approached her father and asked for her hand in marriage.

She all gave them the same response.

"I will be leaving the village with Sir Bing. If you have the power to defeat him, then I will follow you".

Wang Xue didn't actually mention the word 'marriage' but everyone interpreted it that way.

'Oh well, it's not like they can beat a Pulse Condensation Martial Artist. Even if that martial artist is six years old'.

A tranquil smile set itself on her lips. Those cherry colored lips that made every boy in puberty hunch over slightly in embarrassment.

'Ugh, how disgusting. Sir Bing wouldn't be like that. Sir Bing is cool and distant. He's refined, he's smart, he's....'.

A sudden feeling of disgust came over her.

'He's six. I can't believe I almost thought of "that". That's..... cradle robbing! It's disgusting!'.

Wang Xue only had a feeling of admiration and devotion to Bing Xian. She was grateful to him for saving her from Zhu Yan, but nothing that would be described as love or yearning for him.

'That would be weird', thought Wang Xue.

A loud shout interrupted her inner thoughts.

"Hey! Look! It's him! He's back!".

"Whose back? Your grandmother?!"

"Haha, very funny, but no, it's not my grandmother, it's Sir Bing! He's back!".

Wang Xue ceased everything she was thinking and turned to the main gate. It was bigger, stronger and thicker after Bing Xian cut part of it in half with a single wave of his hand.

Many of the villagers lined up on the villages main road and stared at the massive beast that was been road into the village.

"That's a [Tempest Mastodon]! A Beast in the Pulse Condensation Realm!".

"It's hide is so thick that not even a bolt from a crossbow can pierce it!".

"It's also got amazing stamina! It may not be able to run as fast as a [Windrider Stallion], but it can travel for three days and three nights without getting tired!".

This massive mastodon lumbered through the village gates. It's 7 meter tall body almost didn't fit in through the wooden gate, and the small figure laying on top, chewing on a long blade of grass, didn't seem to bothered by it.

Bing Xian sensed a familiar presence staring at him and he stood up on the [Tempest Mastodon]'s back and looked over at the beautiful looking girl. Her eyes full of awe and excitement at his arrival.

He gave her a small nod and patted the mastodon's back twice to stop, bringing the large beast to a full standstill.

"Sir Bing! I'm so glad your back! I'm already a-".

"You've already reached the 1st Stage of Body Transformation. Good. I don't want my companions to be too weak.... here catch".

Bing Xian threw a small beast hide bag over to Wang Xue and gestured for her to take out the items inside.

Another one liter bottle of black blood. A cultivation technique. And a kilo of [Holy Shadow] Beast flesh.

"These are your resources. Do not drink the black blood or eat that Spirit Beast flesh without my presence. If you prepare it wrong, than you will die from the amount of true essence those items contain".

Wang Xue nodded fervently.

"That book is your cultivation technique. It is called the [Divine Blackening Art]. Do not tell anyone that I have given this to you. If you tell anyone, I will not do a thing. Primarily because those you tell would've already killed you and taken the technique.... do you understand?".

Stars started to appear in Wang Xue's eyes as she nodded even more.

'Maybe I was wrong', she thought to herself, 'He may be cold and distant, but his actions say otherwise.... maybe he's one of those tsundere's that those housewives keep talking about!'.
