The Urban Dao Child

Chapter 260 - Follow Up.

After the people knelt on the ground. Yang Dao and Laohu Bai said nothing. He watched the people kneel on the ground as their balance restored. The boy waved his hand, and the world restored its color. He said after a while, "It is time that I go to the Kingdom of Dark. I hope that the army of your kingdom can hold back and not provide fuel to the flame of wars."

What happened in the square today may not be known to many people. But the dialogues of the Child of Chronicles and the masses were a topic of public knowledge. So they will spread throughout the kingdom in the morning. The queen will publish the annals. Or the people will talk by themselves.

This has been a rule throughout the history of the realm. As soon as the Child Of Chronicles changes the laws for the betterment of the people, the rulers will publish the records and then have them circulated throughout the kingdom.

Glow, who was kneeling beside Old Minister Orion, said, "None of the forces of Kingdom of Light will start the attack now, Lord. We will now only move to protect our kingdom."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Thank you. I will call you to the peak of the twilight mountain. Once I have finished my visit in the Kingdom of The Dark." with that said, he waved his hand and gradually floated in the air. Laohu Bai followed him quickly.

It was unknown who shouted first, but the whole horizon erupted with the chants of, "LONG LIVE THE LORD. HAIL THE LORD."

The boy ignored all this. At this moment, he was on the edge of losing his own balance. Also, he was aware of his own vulnerability at this moment, so how can he let this go won and keep affecting him? He bent the air and his body moved through the void like a bullet. Laohu Bai knew what he was doing. At this moment, he needed a place where nobody would know him and affect his mindset.

However, it was easier said than done. At this moment, Yang Dao was very close to getting influenced by the dark side of the laws and lost his balance and himself within the struggle until and unless a miracle happens, can bring him back to the center. In this condition, he was going out to visit the place where the laws of darkness were in power.

The concept of light and dark was not only positive and negative but also, order and chaos. While the kingdom of light worked with the order, the kingdom of darkness was filled with chaos. How would Yang Dao pick out the order in such chaos, that was his trial?

...

Two figures traversed through the void in silence. Only a wave of wind current was left behind them, making soft howling and whooshing sounds. Laohu Bai sighed and said, "Dao, calm down."

Yang Dao replied to her, "I want to calm down, but I am afraid of what is going inside me. I cannot sit down in meditation for some unknown reason. My focus is inclining towards the dark laws. What should I do, Baibai?" his voice was filled with helplessness. He did not know how to calm himself down.

Laohu Bai said, "Let us go to the twilight peak. We will race there. How about? Still got your skills?" she wanted to relax his mind and the best way was to give him something competitive. What she did was exploit the innate nature of the boy. Competitiveness.

Yang Dao nodded and the next moment the two people exchanged glances. Laohu Bai said, "You can only fly as high as one hundred meters in the sky. Any higher, and you lose by default. Okay?"

The boy gazed at her smiling face and nodded in understanding. The two people landed on the crown of a tree. Laohu Bai bent down and plucked a leaf from the top and said, "This leaf will be our starting signal. When it vanishes from the sight. That is when we start. Okay?"

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Okay. Why are we doing this?"

Laohu Bai smiled amusedly and said, "You will figure it out in the end at the finish line." with that said, she blew on the leaf and the leaf flew through the void, and after a few seconds, it descended and blended in the green forest.

Yang Dao's figure that was standing on the crown of the tree vanished immediately. Laohu Bai was not losing out. She was even a blink quicker than him today. The two rode the air currents and whooshed to their destination.

It was not all easy for Yang Dao, Laohu Bai was the goddess of the earth element and but her command over the other three elements after converting the source energy was not low either. She could change the scenery if she unlocked her full potential and even destroy a world with ease.

How can Yang Dao level up to her so quickly if she did not hold back or allowed him to get ahead of her? This was what she did today. She did not let him win with ease. Every time he caught up to her. She would raise her strength and take the lead by a few meters.

Yang Dao would burn his source energy faster than usual to at least catch up to her. Laohu Bai saw this, but she did not comment. It was not her duty to tell him how to use his energy or what was the bigger thing here. The two people tread the sky and soon they came to the vast clearing of the twilight peak.

Laohu Bai won the race with ease. She saw Yang Dao landing a little roughly than his usual touchdowns, and asked, "What did you learn when you raced Dao?"

The boy said while panting, "That you are too strong, Baibai? Have you been holding back against me always?"

Laohu Bai chuckled and said, "Not every time, when you defeated me in sparring, I was actually doing my best, but you won on your own. Same with the car ride. The familiars exist to make you strong and not to feed your ego. You are the child blessed by the heavens and loved by nature. You can do all the things you want too, as long as you put your mind to it.

What I meant to ask you was, except for the strength difference, what else did you learn? Did you not notice how you were focused on the race only and did not notice a couple of elemental vessels passing by us? Did you not notice how your potential converted into power when you were consuming your source energy to catch up with me?

You pushed yourself past your limits and reached a new level of strength within such a short time. Did you not learn the changes in your body as you moved?"

Yang Dao was surprised by all the things she said to him. He actually did not know what happened to him in the race. Now that she pointed it out and he subconsciously looked inside him, he found that his source energy was denser, lustrous, and refined.

Suddenly, something clicked to him. He mumbled, "The reason we were racing was for me to learn the changes inside me and also, to comprehend that my will decides whether or not I can focus. It is good you be cautious, but that does not mean I should lose my self-confidence."

He gazed up at Laohu Bai, who smiled at him and sighed. Then he said, "What will I do without you guys?"

Laohu Bai did not answer but smiled with content. However, what happened next surprised her. Yang Dao bowed and said, "Thank you for your impartations."

Laohu Bai bowed in return and said, "It is my purpose to serve you, Sire." a hint of ethereal voice reflected from the sound. Inside the realm of Light and Dark, the lady was possessed by the White Tiger. The heavenly creature surfaced when Yang Dao needed help, and at this moment, he could indeed use some help.

The two people stood facing each other, and the boy said, "I shall meditate and merge my gains."

Laohu Bai replied, "I shall guard by your side, Sire." and the next she turned into a white tiger that was smaller than what she was outside the realm but still thrice bigger than the tigers on Liro.

Yang Dao did not sit down but laid down on the ground. His hands crossed under his face, and his body was relaxed. Now he focused on sorting out his thoughts and keep the chaos in order. To solve the trouble outside, one must solve the trouble inside.

The white tiger sat down beside him on all four legs. Her ears would flicker from time to time, monitoring the surroundings while her eyes were half-closed. The scene was a standard depiction of serenity.

...

Feng Yun, Atsuji Kurogame, and Ryu Jinshi sat down with each other in the lawn pavilion having tea and they sensed a wave of peace washing over them, and the old man said, "The Young Master has completed the first half. He can do the second half as well. When he comes back, it will be time for him to judge the New Dawn."

The other two nodded. Feng Yun glanced at the two leopards in the garden and said, "He will have some gains as well." what she meant was by the growth of the two leopards.
