Chapter 5 Irene Yang.

Three days later. Lance Loong stood in front of a large rock, with a river on his right and woods on his left. He took a deep breath, and suddenly, all his Chi burst out. Lance charged toward the rock like a cannonball with his fist flashing like a shooting star. Crash! The rock exploded into pieces and half of them fell into the river, splashing. “The body was the space, the fist was the star, heavy like a mountain, and flash as the lightning...I’m unable to give the full power of it because I’m still at the second stage,” Lance’s eyes were frosty, “but if I meet Lou again, I can kill him with only one attack.” “It took me only three days to master the Shooting Star Fist, it will be a shock to the others, I guess...” Having walked to the river, Lance washed his face. "Still got it,” He looked at his reflection on the river, “even after three days of cultivation. Shit, chicks will go crazy for me." All of a sudden, the sound of wind came from behind him. Lance bowed down in a shock with one of his legs hooked back, but to his surprise, he felt his leg hit something soft, and then someone flew over his head straight into the river with a scream. He stood up and found it was a young girl. sneak up on him but was kicked into the river instead was a young girl who didn't look weak in the slightest and was kicked into the river by Long Chen just because of carelessness. She was all furious and quickly jumped onto the shore, pouting. She then glared at Lance with a pair of glittering eyes and it seemed that she was going to eat him alive. This girl looked about the same age as Lance. She was slender, bright-eyed, and wearing a pale blue dress. Lance had never seen such a beautiful woman and was stunned for a moment. Her dress was soaked and stuck to her body so that Lance could see clearly her figure. From Long Chen's eyes, the young girl realized that he was watching her body, and she cursed in anger, "Pervert!" She used Chi and the dress was dried at once under the heat. “W...what did you see?” She then glared at Lance and asked. “No, no, I didn’t see anything.” Lance shook his head in a hurry. “And why did you push your elder cousin into the river! I was just kidding! You jerk!” Elder cousin? Yet Lance didn’t know who she was at all, so he asked, “Cousin? I don’t even know you.” “What do you mean you don’t know me? I’m Irene, Irene Yang, you stupid, the second child of your uncle, Tien, you remember me now?” “Oh, it’s you...” Lance finally remembered her because she was the one born on the same day with him, but Irene liked to hide in her own bedroom, so he hadn’t met her much. Having thought of something, he smirked, “Well, though we both were born in the same one day, mouth, and year, I was given birth one hour earlier than you, so, I’m actually the elder one, sugar.” And he just ignored the angry face of Irene and walked to the woods to find a rock to sit. "What?" Irene walked up to him and continued, "Never mind, let's talk about the Shooting Star Fist you just used, how could you master it so well?" So that was why she approached. Though this girl was a bit arrogant, she had never bullied Lance before, and when she spoke, there was also no contempt in his eyes. For such reasons, Lance wasn’t averse to talk to her about it. He smiled and looked at her, "What, you jealous? It's a pity, you and I have blood ties, and I can’t get you on the bed, if you were any other woman, I'm sure I could teach you that." Hearing his words, Irene was blushing at once, and then she casually threw a punch that crashed an even bigger boulder next to her. "See, I also learned the Shooting Star Fist, and I'm at the fifth stage, so I'm much more powerful than you!" Lance was slightly staggered, not expecting this girl whose age was the same as his, yet her cultivation was even more powerful than her own brother Zhan Yang. Seeing her pretending to be fierce, Lance smiled slightly deep in his heart, because he already knew his purpose. "Okay, you can use it, but you haven’t mastered it yet, right? If I have your Chi, the power of the Shooting Star Fist will be twice as powerful as yours, but that’s fine, guess what, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll be merciful and explain it to you." Irene was shocked and she thought to herself, "He’s so good! I only threw one punch, and he could tell that I didn’t master it well." "Alright, since you're so sincere, I'll agree with you reluctantly, but remember, you’re a volunteer, don't ask me for any payment, I’m a poor girl..." "As an elder brother, it is my right and proper duty to teach you, no one wants your payment." "Now you're smug, when you've taught me, I'll make sure you can't get away with it!" Lance just found this girl pleasing, and he didn't have any partners. He was on a whim right now, and he had a good enough grasp of the Shooting Star Fist, so this was why he carefully explained the demonstration for her. "...The most important thing about it is momentum, look at the meteors, they are falling inexorably, and nothing can stop them..." "When throwing a punch, you cannot hesitate, you are bound to put life and death out of your mind, and you are only thinking of killing the enemy and moving forward so that you can understand the intent of it..." After explaining and demonstrating for quite a long time, Irene finally mastered it, and at that moment, Irene's attitude towards Lance turned into one of worship. She couldn't imagine how could a guy at the second stage of dragon-veins had such a deep understanding of fighting techniques. When they parted, Irene said, "Hey, I have to thank you for teaching me today so that I could thoroughly learn the Shooting Star Fist, I'll have a chance to face Lynn at the competition, and I might even be able to get the Dragon’s Mark." Hearing the Dragon’s Mark, Lance asked, "When will the competition be held?" "About half a month later, but you don't need to fight for the Dragon’s Mark, Lynn now reached the sixth stage, no one in the younger generation is able to compete with her...well, I have to hurry back to cultivate." After saying that, this little girl ran away. All her silk-like hair was flung around behind her, and it was quite cute. "This little girl's appearance and heart are both top choices, but unfortunately, she’s my cousin, goddamn it." Sitting on the greenstone, Lance looked at the direction of the manor of Yangs. "The sixth stage of Dragon-veins... and it’s only half a month left...but my father strongly instructed me to have that, and even this chick is so desperate, I can't give up! Whatever, I'm putting my life to cultivate, I'm sure there's an opportunity even it’s slight!" "Cultivate! Insist!" ... It wasn't until the night that Lance returned to the manor where the lanterns were already lit, shining. When he was about to enter, a group of people came out in great numbers. Lance raised his head and found himself blocking the crowd’s way. The beautiful woman headed was Samantha Yang, Lance's mother. Samantha was followed by a coquettish young girl, Lynn Yang, who was said to be at the sixth stage. Lynn was eighteen years old and the daughter of the eldest brother of Samantha, Shane Yang. The three children of Lance’s grandfather were Shane who was now in control of the family affairs, Tien who was in charge of the family business, and Samantha who was responsible for teaching cultivation of the younger generation in the clan. Shane had an elder son and a daughter, Woody and Lynn Yang, and Woody was the most powerful one in the younger generation, while Lynn was the girl in front of Lance right now. Tien also had an elder son and a daughter, Zhan Yang who was the sworn enemy of Lance and Irene Yang, the girl Lance just met at the riverside. Samantha was the only one with profound power among the female elders, so Lynn had been cultivating with her and they were so close that Lynn was even considered to be her own daughter. Besides the two females were two men. The one who was laughing and chatting with Samantha was a handsome middle-aged man with a long beard and snow-white robes. Following behind him was a young man with sharp eyes, a sturdy figure, and a strong demeanor, who looked quite similar to the middle-aged one. It was most likely to be the father and son of these two men. Seeing Lance standing in front at this time, Samantha was startled for a moment, then she smiled towards the middle-aged man, "John, I wanted to bring you to view the Lotus, but it's already late..." "It’s alright, Samantha, let’s keep it for the next time..." They chatted and laughed, and accompanied by a group of guards, they passed in front of Lance. Only Lynn glanced at him coldly with a different face and then turned to talk to the young man beside her, letting out laughter from time to time. "Very well, all of you just ignore my existence completely as if I'm no different from the air." Lance gradually clenched his fists and thought to himself. "And you, Samantha Yang, you're so eager to find yourself a new bedmate once my old man is dead! Let's not talk about the old man's reputation, there is no way I will allow you to be with that goddamn John Bai! Even if you are ruthless to me, I cannot be unjust, after all, my flesh and bone were given by you..." "John Bai, a partial gentleman on the surface, is in fact a total human scum, the girls were taken and murdered by him..." Seeing this middle-aged man who was laughing and talking with Samantha, Lance recalled that incident in the depths of his memory. He knew ac couple of girls selling their music and dance but not their bodies in the local brothel, Jade Building, while John kidnapped them secretly. From the day Lance happened to see it, he knew that this so-called gentleman was actually nothing but an animal. "Samantha Yang, you despise me, you ignore my existence, but listen, one day, when I stand before you, not only will you not dare to look me in the face, but you will even have to kneel down and confess to me! You are a mother, yet not a single day you do your duty as one! Samantha Yang, I hate you, but I can't do as much to ignore you as you ignore me!" Lance lowered his head and clenched his fists with his nails sinking into the flesh. It was as if there was a beast hiding inside him, and it was roaring in madness! Back in the residence, he was staying in, Lance was ready to start cultivating. While suddenly, he saw a note pressed under the table, and he picked it up to take a look at it. "If you want Huang to live, come to the Sunrise Tavern, Peony Room one right now! Out of date, gone his life!"
