"It is very hard to train all by yourself." Mable was a little shocked, as she couldn't understand Leylin.

"One could gain rapid advancement only when he joins a strong power, and could get help at difficult times. A single warrior tends to be attacked in foreign areas. You understand that?"

"Yes, to train alone has many disadvantages. Miss Mable is very considerate. You still have the chance to reject after meeting that person, although I can see that you are very talented and capable but adjoining to or even acquainting to a powerful figure is good for you." Demi persuaded too. She understand that Leylin was probably lying and he might be a powerful genius figure from a considerably mighty force but still it would do him good to meet their backers, they might have an opportunity to hold onto another dependable party, no one would want to keep all their apples in a single basket.

"Nope." Leylin kept moving as he shook his head firmly.

"Then whatever." Mable frowned and felt that Leylin was being unreasonable, though she didn't insist.

Demi sighed, with a little bit of bitterness. If Leylin was actually from a powerful family then his friendship would mean a lot to them in case something happens with the Crystal Family, their backers.

"You can at least, tell us your name?"

Leylin curled his lips and looked at them coldly, not saying a word.

"You just too unreasonable." Mable grunted.

"If there isn't a common ground, a single word is a waste of breath." Leylin shook his head and walked onto another crossroad without taking a look at the two girls. His back to them, he said coldly, "Goodbye, I hope next time we meet you are good enough to know my name."

"You!" Demi shouted, "Didn't you say we wouldn't depart till we get to Silent Town?"

Leylin figure faded away gradually without answering.

"This arrogant guy will get into trouble someday." Mable shook her head, "One has to learn to yield sometimes in this world. Or it will be hard to survive, especially for us warriors."

"He's too young and strong for his age, and it's gone to his head."

"Never mind. Stop worrying. We all will be in the Merchant Union, and will get the chance to meet again and repay our debt." Mable said to her, "Sister, though we are women, we have a mission to make our family prosper and avenge Uncle Levi and our friends. We have to depend on a big power and complete our mission."

...

Leylin moved quickly through the Stone Woods, not spending one more second than necessary in any area... He didn't had any problem finding his way out without those two, and as for the fate of two girls he didn't bother. Leylin knew that the coming group would consist of the Crystal Family's Third Young Master, the twin martial spirit genius named Kyle Crystal and with him are two at Nirvana Realm!

Aaron and Harold, his two protectors are said to have the same teacher, and they are at the First Sky of Nirvana Level now, but no one knows where they came from. They used to serve the family head of Crystal Family, Elrod Crystal. After was Kyle born, and considering how he possesses twin Martial Spirits and agile movements, Austin assigned them to protect him.

Eren Lenoir, the family head of the Lenoir Family, was only at the Third Sky of Nirvana Level.

When a warrior reached Nirvana Level, the Conception Sea would form in their mind, which could connect and combine the Martial Spirit magically with their Profound Qi to activate a secret skill and release an amazing power.

There were millions of residents in the Merchant Union, among which were numerous warriors who trained Martial Arts. But only a small part of them, barely more than ten people, could step into the Nirvana Level.

The two Nirvana-Level warriors stayed by Kyle side without doing anything else. The world was his oyster.

In the Merchant Union, the Crystal Family is much more powerful than the other two biggest families combined. There are many skillful warriors among the Ministers, and talented descents pop up now and then. Plus, Elrod himself is at the Sky Level. It is really unwise to get under their radar and hence, Leylin wants neither friendship, acquaintance or hostility from them, ultimately they would also be his steeping stones to be used for his growth.

"I am very much anticipating the arrival of the bloody storm in Merchant Union. And this Kyle would also be crushed under the gory tide of insanity and baleful slaughter."

Kyle is said to have reached Disaster Level half a year ago, He is only twenty seven years old! With his twin martial spirit, he would be a talent even when put in Endless Sea.

Although Leylin would love to witness the marvellous teleportation martial spirit of Kyle, it's nigh impossible to hide from the watchful eyes from an expert at Nirvana Rank in his current level. And since Leylin cannot gain anything from them, he left without much thoughts. He knows that their fate are intertwined and they would meet soon in the future as well, probably as foe.

At nightfall, Leylin finally got out of the Stone Woods and was walking towards Silent Town, which was only a very short distance away.

He followed the memories of the previous owner of his body to recall the information about the area owned by Lenoir Family in Silent Town.

Leylin has decided to return to the family of his body's previous host and use their vast resources for himself.

As one of the five biggest families in the Merchant Union, the Lenoir Family was rich in all types of resources such as Martial Skills, a Gravity Field training room, rare medicines and skillful warrior trainers...

He needed to use these advantages to strengthen himself.

The identity of Barkan Lenoir was too special that it would cause a lot of trouble if he attached himself to another power.

In addition, a new power wouldn't give him access to the best resources.

But it would be totally different if he went to the Lenoir Family and more importantly he would get to connect to an even more powerful family.

The previous master of his body was the young master of the Lenoir Family. As long as he showed talent, the Lenoir Family would cultivate him at any cost.

It would be a total waste if he didn't take advantage of their special resources.

Once he reached Silent Town, he walked directly into a shop which was collecting all sort of stones without a second thought and shouted naturally, "Hello?"

An attendant came up with a wide smile, and flattered, "Young Master, you've finally returned!"

....

Soon Leylin was received into the establishment owned by Lenoir Family as the group's head here stationed to find Leylin, Harris Wrogan came to meet him right away.

After knowing of Leylin appearance, Harris Wrogan sat down at the table in front of Leylin made a cup of tea and sipped it, "Young Master Berkan, where are your escorts?"

"Dead." Leylin said calmly sipping on his tea as he explained casually, "The demon beasts in the Dark Forest went insane when hunting the warriors. In order to protect me, they all gave the ultimate sacrifice, make sure to pay their family's well, use funds in my name to triple the compensation."

Harris Wrogan was rather shocked as he looked at Leylin in confusion, "Obviously as you command. I was more or less aware of the situation. It's so lucky of you to have escaped from it."

He had heard the news long ago that the Silver Thunder Wolf had gone on a rampage, so he planned to go back to Lenoir Family in half a month since he assumed that he wouldn't be able to find Leylin alive. He couldn't believe that Leylin walked out of the Dark Forest unscathced.

It was so intense in the Dark Forest that even experienced warriors had been killed. But Leylin, who was a nerd, had somehow managed to survive. This completely surprised Harris Wrogan.

Harris didn't really like the Berkan. That guy didn't train in martial arts and was very old-fashioned; he loved to look into things that no one else in the Family liked. He couldn't understand that.

Now, if it weren't for the family head's order and the fact that he happened to be in Silent Town, he wouldn't have been here waiting for Leylin.

"Yes, you certainly did have good luck."

Leylin nodded as he kept drinking his tea, then he asked indifferently, "If it's possible I would like to return home soon."

"Obviously, Young Master. Actually I'm desperate to leave, for I have something to report to the family head. I would have returned days ago if it weren't for you." Harris paused and answered immediately.

While he was talking, Harris couldn't help but begin to examine Leylin and his unique demeanor. He couldn't pinpoint it at first, but after a careful examination, he realized something was different about him...

Leylin looked even more delicate than before, and his somewhat childish face had become more masculine and handsome.

Leylin also seem to oozed a sense of prestige that seem to supress him unnoticeably. Harris didn't notice it immediately but he seemed to have lowered his head a bit while talking to Leylin!

"A.I. Chip, Scan the target in front of me!"

[Beep! Mission establishing, scanning in progress A profound Qi forcefield around the target detected! Analyzing forcefield...]

For a warrior to know someone level, they would need to observe their Profound Qi and obviously with the thickness and pureness of the Profound Qi one can determine someone level, but that's possible in a fight when one is using their Profound Qi actively, if not then one should be of a higher or equal level to determine the said warrior level. Obviously there are other ways to but insight is definitely a huge factor and in matters of insight very few could even come close to matching Leylin.

Although Leylin is just a Human Realm warrior, with his A. I. Chip it's possible to bypass the natural Profound Qi defenses and look through someone's stats, obviously it would irk the recipient if he's found.

[Data of target's defensive forcefield obtained, comparing to database!]

[Target's defensive forcefield broken, acquiring data]

[Harris Wrogan. Strength: 7.9, Agility: 7.6, Vitality: 8.3, Profound Qi: Second Sky of Disaster Realm.]

'Hmmm... His status are stronger even when compared to a Rank 1 Warlock, but it seems to be weaker when put in prospective against Martial Spirit wielders like Wayde.' Leylin thought as his eyebrows arched, Leylin wasn't able to scan Wayde or other Disaster realm warrior because at that time his level was much lower and the A. I. Chip wasn't able to compute the calculations because of incomplete database. Harris is the first Disaster realm Warrior Leylin has scanned and he didn't need to worry about his retaliation because of his superior identify.

'Although the cultivators are definitely superior based on physical aspects to a Magus but with the spells as their offensive ace, Magus attacks are much deadlier. Martial Skills of lower level cannot match them and the lack of ingenuity in their usage as well as compatibility rigidity makes them less effective in a battle, I guess only when Martial Skills are paired with a matching Martial Spirit, it's true power would be demonstrated. In this case, a comparison can be drawn that rouge warriors are like Magus who broke through with Grine Water and followed a crooked path while those with proper teaching, skills and Martial Spirit are similar to those who advance via advanced mediation technique."

'The Martial Spirit are very important but even then, the level of Martial skill would make a difference. The cultivators on first glance seem to follow a stern rigid path but instead its much more complex and interesting..'

Sitting there confidently, Leylin's kept his back upright and his body was like a sharp sword which made him seem quite imposing.

That wasn't the only change in his appearance.

Berkan only lit up when he was researching historic relics. He was often listless on an average day.

But now, the guy before Harris had deep calm eyes and seemed to be a mysterious gulf yeeting away people's attention, sending out the impression that he knew everything.

"Uncle Harris, is there perhaps something you want to ask?" Under Harris's gauging gaze, Leylin said serenely.

"Y-yes.. Young Master.., you, you've got Profound Qi in your body?"

Harris's eyes lit up and he gazed at Leylin seriously, "I can feel that there is Profound Qi flowing in your body, and it is incredibly dense! Young Master, what on earth happened to you?"

Leylin smiled indifferently as he said, "Yes, I've got Profound Qi, so I'm a warrior now."

Leylin knows that hiding his status as a warrior is impossible and he would obviously not want to hide it either, if he has similar status to the previous Berkan then the amount of resources he would like to access would be impacted severely. Leylin decided to reveal himself and as a talented warrior too, as for reasons in a world of cultivators people are too gullible as long as your growth doesn't cross a certain limit of their perception.

"Which Level?" Harris couldn't wait.

"Human Level."

"What!"
