With a wave of a hand, a crushing wave of blue and purple Yuan power soared. He blasted incredible power towards Han Yan's chest, his body recoiling from the impact, the shards of space splintering in an earth shattering crash. Like thousands of glass windows shattering at the same time.
BANG!
The incredible amount of power shook Han Yan's body, as a large crack tore through into chest while he was catapulted straight into a wall again.
His eyes blurred, and he smiled straight down from the hole in the wall into a pool of his own blood, from the large shattering on his chest.
Gojo walked over calmly, hands in pockets and crouched down over the unconscious youth, a wicked smile lighting up his face. "Hmm? He used Yuan Power to shield himself huh. His control is getting better already.." Gojo chuckled lightly. He arose to his feet, stretching his waist lazily and turned to the entrance of the training facility on to see Du Yun exchanging stares between him and Han Yan's unconscious body.
Du Yun raised a brow. "If you needed someone to spar with, you could've just called me.." The youth rubbed his temples with a sigh. "I'll take you up on that offer soon..But I was just helping Mr. Unconscious here control his Yuan power better.. any gists so far?" Gojo crouched down, placing a palm on Han Yan's chest.
Du Yun took a seat. "Senior Sister MeiYing just entered seclusion. She's just entered a critical stage in her cultivation and might not be around for a while..." He paused and Gojo chuckled. "That little lass finally went to cultivate hehe.." He laughed sheepishly.
"That's the most important.. But why are you still here? I thought you'd be training with the First Elder today?" Gojo gawked, his eyes widening before he laughed softly. "Take care of Han Yan here for me eh? Can't miss my first day of training with the old man.." His words hadn't even landed when he disappeared from view..
...
The difference between the inner court and the outer court was like Heaven and Earth in terms of aesthetics, beautiful floating pagodas were decorated with beautiful phoenix flowers, gardens overflowing with crystal clear waterfalls, an aesthetically pleasing environment conducive for cultivating and learning. Students frolicked to and fro, some sparring with each other, others studying calligraphy and arts..
A figure walked through, stumbling in the crowd, holding a small map in his hand. Gojo, blindfolded in his inner court robes. It was similar to his outer court robes, consisting of a form fitting martial arts gi, sitting comfortably underneath a sleeveless grey top, loose black pants covered his lowered body, held fast by a red sash, and everything was finished off with dark high boots. The only difference was that the robes he wore were of a higher quality compared to before, and were imbued with special arrays and formations that could auto clean and repair.
He adjusted his glasses, his face glued to the map, trying to find his way through the crowd to the Elder's peak, to find his master's abode. Around him, the infinity stretched outward, an invisible wall that prevented anyone from even getting close to a 3m radius around him.
He stopped for a moment, scanning his surroundings as explained on the map until he finally noticed a cluster of hills several miles away, hidden in a thick fog. "Found it.." Gojo smiled softly and put the map away. "But before that.." He mouth watered at the pleasing aroma of dumplings and meat, and he rubbed his growling stomach.
He turned around and spotted a stand not far away. Despite the overwhelming crowd, Gojo was unfazed. He laughed softly and adjusted his glasses. He was about to do what Gojo did best. "HeLLO!" He rushed into the stand, waving comically, unfazed by the disgruntled looks from the queue of inner court disciples awaiting their turn. With the infinity making it so that no one could cross into a 3m radius space close to him, everyone he walked past was pushed aside, until he reached in front of the stand, where a beautiful female disciple was busily baking.
"Hello there! I was kinda passing by and I couldn't resist the divine flavor of your dumplings. If you don't mind, I'll have three of those and some honey tea to go with it.." His voice startled the female disciple, but he was unfazed ans placed his order cooly, with a smile on his face.
"What? Who the hell is that?!"
"How dare he?! Doesn't he see the queue?"
"I think he's blind!"
"Hold on, I think I recognise him, that's that Chen Zhen fellow! The champion of the outer court competition! I heard he bears a Saint Physique that can wield the power of space.."
"What?! It's that fellow! I heard he's irreparable enemies, with Luo Ping!"
"Not just Luo Ping, he's made enemies with the Barbarian King Ma Song as well!"
The crowd gasped. Some eyeing him curiously, others judging, other dismissing, others admiring, but Gojo couldn't care less. He placed a small Qiankun bag containing a couple of spiritual stones on the tab. No one dared to confront him. He didn't know if it was because they knew of his reputation or his abilities, but at least, he didn't want to get his hands dirty.
He quickly grabbed his order, took a sip of the tea happily and bounced away like a bunny, only for him to stop in his tracks, his face falling. Three male disciples stopped him in his tracks. Gojo could see the maliciousness in their eyes as they stepped closer to him.
"You must be that new hotshot from the outer court eh?!"
"Senior brother Chen, it really is him, silver hair, covering over eyes!"
Two of them taunted, the one in lead, Senior brother Chen, was a scrawny youth with a cultivation level that Gojo quickly ascertained at the Early Heavenly Yuan Realm. "Oi, brat, why aren't you kneeling to your senior disciple brothers yet? Or are you too scared to move?!" The last one taunted, a wicked smile on his face.
"Guys! Chen Yulong and his goons have encircled that Chen Zhen outside!!" Suddenly someone from within the crowd called out, and instantly, all the disciples who were placing orders within the stand rushed out. In no time, Gojo and the bullies were surrounded by a thick crowd.
'Chen Yulong eh? I don't remember annoying anyone like that though?..' Gojo thought to himself and took a sip from his tea calmly, unfazed by the pressure.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude towards them, Chen Yulong blazed. "You dare disregard your seniors?! Perhaps you need to be taught a lesson on respect junior brother Chen Zhen!" His eyes gleamed with malice, as Yuan power glimmered on the tip of his fingers.
"I almost feel pity for this Chen Zhen. Running into Chen Yulong and his goons on his first day of exploring the inner court is kind of sad.."
"Yeah. But I think Chen Yulong and his goons work indirectly for Senior brother Luo Ping. Just by the fact that Chen Zhen and Luo Ping were enemies, he was bound to be targeted by them soon.."
The crowd speculated.
Meanwhile, Gojo rubbed his temples and then turned to them. "You know, I'm kinda late for training at that old man's house. I'd rather to soil myself before that.." Gojo shrugged, a provocative smile tugged at the corner of his lips. He looked half serious and half jovial.
"Wow, he's got guts!"
"Or he's a lunatic!" The crowd gasped in shock.
"You dare!!!"
Meanwhile Chen Yulong and his goons raged..
"You must be tired of living!"
"You dare pluck the beard of a sleeping dragon!!"
Gojo restrained a laugh, and brought the jug of tea to his lips with a soft mischievous smile.
"Wind breaker fist!"
"Heavenly Phoenix Cry!!"
The two goons attacked first, from the left and the right, covering Gojo's flanks. To his right, a storm of incredibly pressurized wind soared, ripping through everything around, like a deadly hurricane. To his left, sound waves, like that of a Heavenly Bird caused destruction on an incredible scale, with enough power to flatten a small hill. The power Heavenly Yuan Realmers could unleash was no joke, but Gojo was unfazed..
"Is he mad?!"
"Isn't he going to defend himself?!"
BOOOOOM!
The crowd were beyong shocked at Gojo's nonchalance. The two attacks struck point blank. Incredible destruction raged on for moments. Cracks spread through the concrete floors, the earth quaked. The crowd was pushed back by the shockwaves. A moment later, the dust died down slowly.
"Is he dead?!"
"I can't sense anything?!"
The crowd looked on in horror until, the dust died down fully. Gojo still stood there calmly, drinking his tea unfazed. "That was smart, you know.." He chuckled lightly.
The goons looked on in horror, the crowd were shocked. "We saw him get hit?!" "How is he still unhurt?!"
Chen Yulong gritted his teeth and summoned a sword from his Qiankun bag. "Three Wind Parting Styles! North Wind Slice!"
Yuan Power exploded with might, as a sword aura tore through the air, ripping towards Gojo, with the intention to kill. But just like all the attacks before, it struck him point blank, but left not even a scratch.
"Hehehe.." Gojo laughed. "You're stupid. I thought you'd try harder.." He finally finished his tea and flung the plastic jug away. "Attack together!" Chen Yulong roared, gripping his sword tightly as his goons prepared themselves to attack. Incredible Yuan power tore through the air, a column of gold and energy, they were ready to unleash destruction on a phenomenal level.
But Gojo took a step forward, hands in pockets. With a will, the three assualters froze in mid air. Powering his infinity up and enhancing it with his own divine technique, the spatial lock technique, granted him God like control of the space around him.
The three looked like they were stuck in space and time, their bodies out of their own control, their lungs forgetting to breathe, their heart forgetting to pump.
Their life and death now rested in the hands of the silver haired god like fellow with the mischievous smile on his face. Gojo laughed, he could kill them with nothing but a command, but was it necessary, probably not.
He slowly levitated, standing on infinity as if it were a solid ground. .
He moved forward like an angel, walking on his infinity, and soaring pass the three of them with terrified looks on their faces. "See y'all later.." With a command, the space before him fractured, a hole tearing through reality itself which he calmly and nonchalantly walked into and disappeared.
The crowd looked on with stunned expressions, with only one thing on their minds. A demon has arrived in the inner court, things would not be so simple anymore.
