Douluo Dalu : White God 14 My First!

Inside a rundown house in the edge of Paotai town, a nine years old boy could be seen laying down on the floor and drenched by his own sweat and looked as if he's in a great misery.

"Good job enduring it Xiao Chen, maybe that was a bit excessive. But, when you feel the benefits from it, you'll be thanking me over and over."

A Golden Haired Boy with heterochromatic eyes stood beside the drenched boy, observing it carefully as if the boy will be gone if he take his eyes away from him.

Not long after, a flash of multi-color flas.h.i.+ng briefly from four directions. Then slowly the boy's expression began to relaxed until finally he's look like sleeping soundly.

"Finally, its done. Now rest foe a while boy, you're up to be surprised tomorrow." The golden haired boy grinning happily.

...

The Next day.

That Boy Xiao Chen finally wake up, now we're at an Inn inside the Paotai Town. His eyes slowly opened groggily, then he's looking at me with some confusion in his eyes then he keep scanning his surrounding carefully until...

"MOM!"

When he looked at his mother he immediately jumped at her and hug her tightly it's as if his mother will be gone if he releasing his hug, tears flowing profusely on his cheeks.

"Now now Chen'er, its great that you're awaken. My illness now already healed completely, you can use your saving for your needs later." Madam Xiao said lovingly to her son, she's really...

Now I thought about it again, where's my mother in this world?

"Really?! Y-You're all healed? B-But how?!" I chuckled hearing his outburst, I know from his tone that he's happy, but his eyes were full of inquiries. To make thing easier, I answered his question and explain everything to him.

"I'm the one who heal her, now hear me a little..." I explained everything to him about and the 'dream' that he saw earlier are both his test and one way to cleanse his soul. And as I expected, he's so surprised that his mouth opened so wide and I think an egg could be fitted inside.

"Well, even though I said it to your mother beforehand I'm sorry that I did it without your consent." I said while trying to look convincing, I looking directly to his eyes and said

"Beside, now try to summon your spirit and check your spirit level."

hesitatingly, he summoned his spirit and man he's gawking at me again. seriously, next time I want to surprise him I will bring several eggs to put it inside.

"B-B-But, HOW?!"

"My spirit should be a clay armor, but now it is an earth armor!" [1]

"And... And my spirit level raised to 15th level!"

Well, Its started to get annoying to hear his ranting. His expression is priceless though.

"As I said, That 'test' earlier helped you cleansing your soul. Then with some of my technique I proceed further and clean the Impurity inside your body, then the change of your spirit triggered by your own soul potential." I lectured him patiently, but still, I put a sound proof formation beforehand around this room just in case, and I also asked Uncle Yi to keep watch outside of the room.

"Now fella, listen here, I got an offer for you. If you accept, I've got many more benefits for you but be aware that your path will be filled with blood and I won't tolerate any kind of insubordination! Once you betrayed me, then I'll make sure by my own hand that you will regret it. But, if you keep following me zealously then I'll let you stand by my side to enjoy the glory and richness, also the power to protect what you want to protect."

"Are you, Xiao Chen, willing to follow me to become my sword and s.h.i.+eld piously?"

I asked him while releasing a bit of my aura, I mean every single word I said. I only want a loyal subordinate, as for talents? With this yours truly's knowledge and means, I can easily grant 'em the best talent In this world, beside me ofcourse. Then I began to utillitizing 'One Thought Rule' to embedded my insignia inside his soul if he accepting my offer.

Xiao Chen looking at me hesitatingly, then he looking at his mother and his eyes become resolute.

"Lord, I, Xiao Chen, swear upon my mother's name that I will follow you. I'll be your sword, and I'll be your s.h.i.+eld. Your enemy is my enemy, and your wish is my command!" Xiao Chen kneeled on his knees and his head bowing toward me.

Hearing that a small smile blooming on my lips, this is my first follower alright, I feel so emotional right now.

"Then as your lord, I shall bestow you a way for you to gain the necessary power to stand beside me as my trusted s.h.i.+eld and sword."

Placing my hand on his head, I began channeling 'One thought Rule' and after that I bestow him one of few Immortal physique law directly to his soul with hope that his spirit evolved once again once he comprehend it.

"I thank my Lord for the gift you bestowed upon me."

"Its okay, now you should rest and try to comprehend my gift. In a week I will leave to another journey, in the meantime I will guide you and help you to strengthening your basic."

Remembering something that I almost forget, I give him a leather pouch filled with a few dozens gold coins and remind him to not register his spirit at his spirit hall. As if I'll let my subordinate to be affiliated to my enemy's faction beside a spy.

"In a year come to the royal capital with your mother and show this to the soldier that guarding the gate."

Madam Xiao still surprised on the side, she can't following the fast flow of my conversation with her son. Looking at her, I smiled and a.s.sure her that her son is okay and she should rest too.

After that I went outside and continue to exploring every nook and cranny of this little Paotai town.
