"Hey, Shan-guy, do you have some clothes?", Night Shadow asked.

Right now, they were heading towards the gates, and Night Shadow did not want to seek much attention to him, so he asked for clothes to cover himself up.

"Y-yeah, I have one", Shan Weng replied.

Out of thin air, a black-colored robe with a hood-like thing attached to the robe appeared on Shan Weng's hands. He passed to Night Shadow and Night Shadow quickly adorned it and covered his head with the hood thing. Night Shadow finally felt more secure about not exposing his identity.

They walked until they saw a queue in front of the gate.

Night Shadow looked at the long queue and asked, "Is there any way faster to enter?"

Shan Weng heard this and said, "Yes, please follow me"

All of them followed Shan Weng and kept going forward to the entrance of the gates. The people did not like it but when they saw it was Shan Weng, they bowed to him. Shan Weng did not pay attention to this and walked faster. Within a minute, they reached the front of the queue.

"Who goes there?!, one of the two guards said before looking at Shan Weng. The guard instantly changes his tone and smiled awkwardly.

"I-I-I am sorr-sorry, young mas-master. Please pass through, you wouldn't need to be showing your IDs", the guard said in a somewhat flattering tone. The guard bowed with flattery and respect.

"Thank you", Shan Weng said and entered with the rest of the group.

Night Shadow was quite surprised at the city that was before him. It was very lively. Even he couldn't help admire the city. But he quickly shook his head and said, "Continue"

Shan Weng didn't need to be told twice and started walking towards the center of the city. Wherever the group passed, the people would bow in respect, awe, flattering, manner. Some even tried to flatter Shan Weng but Shan Weng had no interest. But Night Shadow got to know one thing, it seemed that Shan Weng was quite famous in the city. Night Shadow thought about it and became happy. They continued going, and Night Shadow looked at everything around him. There many shops for clothes, weapons, food, etc. Although Night Shadow wanted to eat those delicious-looking food, he was a transformer and couldn't eat. Night Shadow couldn't help become sad but he continued moving on.

The group kept going forward for 5 minutes when they saw a huge red gate with golden words written in some language. Although Night Shadow didn't know which language this, he could still understand it. He became confused but the next second he understood.

'It's probably the system'

Night Shadow and the group continued forward. The two guards of the entrance saw Shan Weng and bowed to him. Shan Weng nodded and told the guards that we were his guests. The guards nodded and let us in but their eyes never left Night Shadow. For some reason, they felt danger from him. Night Shadow did not mind them and passed through the entrance.

Immediately, he felt as if he went through a barrier. He looked back and saw a white-colored almost transparent barrier. He tried touching it but his hand passed through it.

'What is this made of?'

Night Shadow experimented with it for some time and left it. He turned and saw a huge red and colored pagoda with many small houses on its sides and a big arena in the middle. The clan was huge and quite rich-looking. There were people walking in and out of the pagoda and the houses. Some people looked at Night Shadow with a cautious look while others bowed to Shan Weng. Night Shadow did not care and suddenly heard.

"Ah, sir, let's get going", Shan Weng said.

Night Shadow saw Shan Weng and the group a few paces in front of him. He started going towards them.

When Night Shadow reached the group, he asked, "Do you have some manual showing the minerals that have been found on this planet?"

Shan Weng turned his head towards Night Shadow and replied, "Ummm, we do have one but it will take time to get it"

"Show it to me"

"...okay"

Shan Weng said that and continued towards the pagoda. Shan Weng did not talk to the people bowing to him and kept walking forward with the group following him. Within a minute or so, they reached the entrance of the pagoda. There were two heavily armed guards guarding the entrance. One of the two heavily armed guards came up and bowed to Shan Weng.

"What brings young master here?", the guard's heavy voice asked. The guard looked like he was in his 40's with his black hair tied in a bun and had a clean shaved face. He also had fair but rough skin and had an aura that said that this man had experienced life-and-death many times in battles.

Shan Weng went towards the guard and whispered something in his ear. Night Shadow carefully listened to their conversation.

"...get the guy, in the black robe, a manual of all the minerals the family has ever found. Get it fast but if he makes any kind of trouble...", at this point Shan Weng coldly smiled. Although Night Shadow was away from them, he could Shan Weng's voice crystal clear and sighed.

'Why are some people so stupid?', Night Shadow sighed in defeat but overcame it.

The guard nodded and gave a quick glance at Night Shadow before taking out a green-colored square and speaking into it. A few minutes later he told Shan Weng that it would take 20 minutes for the manual to come.

Shan Weng nodded and turned towards Night Shadow, "Sir, shall we go?"

Night Shadow told Shan Weng to wait and took out his Fallen Phoenix and started recharging it. All the nearby people looked at the spaceship with interest and curiosity.

As a precaution, Night Shadow also activated the Void Disintegrator Cannon and said, "Athena, if any of these idiots try to take over the ship, kill them"

"Yes, master", the ship had enough power to run Athena.

Night Shadow left the spaceship and told Shan Weng to continue going. Shan Weng told the other group members to go back and told Night Shadow to follow him. Like how subordinates listen to their boss, the guards and the women left them without a word. Shan Weng and Night Shadow reached the gate of the pagoda and opened it.

It was huge inside and there was a long corridor. The walls of the corridor were white and had beautifully carved patterns on them whereas the floor was dark brown in color and was normal looking. It was quite lavish, although it was explained in a simple manner. There were also many doors of the same color - black.

Night Shadow asked, "Is there any way to measure one's strength? And also, what is behind the doors?"

Shan Weng replied, "Yes, there is a way to measure the strength, and behind the doors are pills storage rooms, alchemy rooms, training rooms, etc. Would you like to measure your strength?"

Night Shadow nodded and said, "Take me to it"

Shan Weng started walking forward and within few minutes of walking, they reached a door. The door had a sign which indicated the room behind the door was a facility for the storage of training equipment. Shan Weng pressed his hand on the door for a second and removed it. The door suddenly opened and both of them walked inside it.

Night Shadow saw a lot of equipment such as punching bags, wooden "human" things, a lot of heavy stones, etc. Shan Weng waited for Night Shadow to look around. Night Shadow looked around for a few minutes before telling Shan Weng to continue. Shan Weng nodded and continued walking towards the corner of the room where a tall grey stone was placed.

Shan Weng waited for Night Shadow to catch up and said, "This is called the force stone. When you punch the stone, a number will be displayed on it which will indicate your strength. Please go ahead and punch it"

Night Shadow did not wait long and used half of his power and delivered a punch to the stone.

The force of the punch caused the stone to shake a bit before displaying "7570". Shan Weng looked at the number with widened eyes.

'What?! How is this possible?! So much strength?!'

Night Shadow looked at Shan Weng and asked, "What is my strength?"

Shan Weng came back to reality and answered, "Sir, you have the strength of 7570 jins"

Night Shadow also became surprised after hearing this.

'Do I have the strength of 3785 kg? But, this is just half of my power. Damn!'

(Author's note: 1 kg = 2 jins, I guess)

Night Shadow interrupted Shan Weng's thought and said, "Alright, let's go to collect the mineral"

Shan Weng nodded and told Night Shadow to follow him. The duo went past the different types of training equipment and left the room. Shan Weng didn't waste any more time and started going deeper into the corridor. Within another few minutes, they reached a door and entered it.

Shan Weng said, "Follow me"

Night Shadow started trailing behind Shan Weng. They went past the beautiful minerals, towards the center of the room. Night Shadow saw that in the middle of the room was a pedestal that had a transparent cylinder with a thing floating in it on it. When the duo reached right in front of the cylinder, Shan Weng placed his hands on the pedestal and the transparent cylinder retracted into the pedestal exposing the mineral.

Night Shadow looked at the mineral carefully. The mineral was in the shape of a shard. It seemed the mineral had broken from something. It was dark grey in color and had intricate patterns on it. Suddenly, Night Shadow realized something and snatched the shard. When Night Shadow touched the shard, the shard disappeared and a sound resounded.

------------------------------

Night Shadow became shocked yet confused after hearing the system's message.

'Hey system, wasn't the Allspark supposed to be a complete cube?'

[The Allspark was complete but before the Allspark landed in Cybertron, it was broken during the war for the Allspark...Different races knew what the Allspark could do and wanted it for themselves...The pieces of the Allspark had scattered into space and many races went to search for it but only a few were found...The other pieces are either floating in space or have landed on some planets]

Night Shadow finally understood what happened and knew that what the system told him was something of great importance.

'I have to definitely keep it a secret'

Night Shadow turned towards Shan Weng and asked seriously, "Where did you find this? And how did you find it?"

Shan Weng suddenly became curious but answered, nonetheless, "This piece was already here since the starting of the Clan and is the material collected by our Clan ancestor. In the scripts, it was written that this shard had fallen from the sky and landed near him"

Suddenly, the door of the room opened and a person came inside while holding a book. It was the same guard that Shan Weng talked to. The guard walked towards and handed him the book cautiously while trying to look at the face. Night Shadow opened the book and took "pictures" of each page of the book using his eyes. The pictures were recorded in Night Shadow's core and he could see it whenever he wanted to.

Night Shadow took 5 minutes to do this and handed the book back.

"Is there a problem?", Shan Weng asked Night Shadow as he looked towards the guard. But the guard was also confused.

"No. I already memorized the whole book and do not need it now"

Silence greeted Night Shadow's answer. Well, it was the first time both the guard and Shan Weng felt as if their world turned upside down. While their world was turning, Night Shadow started thinking.

'You wanted to kill me, even after showing you mercy, if I made trouble right? Well, let me show you what happens to people who want to kill me'

Night Shadow thought and smiled coldly.
