Tournament of the Gods

The Stalker in the Brown Cloak.

"I am so glad I didn't wear a skirt, would have been really embarrassing," Ashley thought to herself as she was carried through the skies, Zhangshun Shan carried her using his left arm to support her back and the other, to hold her thighs firmly, he was cruising at about 61 kilometers above the ground with an unreadable facial expression.  "There's something I can't get my head around," Ashley began as she looked at Zhangshun Shan, his hair was swaying wildly according to the whims of the wind, he looked even dreamier.

"You are wondering why you haven't felt the icy bite, am I right?" Zhangshun Shan smirks, Ashley was amazed.  "How did he figure that out?" She thought. "or did I say that without even knowing?"

"Now, you are wondering how I knew what you were thinking but really, it's nothing difficult as the expression on your face got more tensed, that was simple psychology I had learnt from age 10," Zhangshun Shan grinned as he even began to fly at a faster speed.  "Now, regarding what was first plaguing your mind, you are a student and a very serious one that that..."

Ashley couldn't help but smile.  "Zan doesn't look a day over 18 and yet, he regards me like a little daughter, not like I am complaining about it or anything but I really like his composure," she thought, red coming on her cheeks.

Zhangshun Shan continues.   "We are currently flying in the mesospheric layer of the Earth's atmosphere and the temperature is currently -47.87°C, a normal human being would have frozen to death at even -1°C but despite that, you still feel all fuzzy and warm...."

"Yeah, that's true," Ashley thought as she hugged herself.  "This feels as warm as Dad used to hug me back when Mom was still alive but after Mom died," the smile on Ashley's face vanished as she thought about how mean and wicked her father had suddenly been to her after her mother died, he has always pushed her, verbally abused her severally and just a few moments ago, she was nearly sexually asualted.

"...The reason all this is possible is a result of a technique from the world I hail from, the arts itself is heat shrouding, what it does is convert the wind energy around to heat and the heat which it has become takes a blanket like form and wraps the target which in this case is you, the technique itself is known as Krigo which is capable of altering the user itself and the environment around," Zhangshun Shan ends as they now were directly above the restaurant they were heading to.

Exactly 61 kilometers below them stood a man who held a woman against her forcefully with his right arm and with the other, he held a gun to her right cheek, the man was dressed in a black dirty coat, while the woman was dressed in a short skimpy flowery dress, about a few feet east of them were two men dressed in police uniforms beside a police vehicle which pointed guns at him.  "I am scared of nothing," he shouted out.  "If yer don't want me to shoot zis b***h, yer berra get me a zillion dollars."

"You know zillion isn't a real value," one of the cops say with a smirk, the one who spoke was a 5"11 tall Caucasian with hazel eyes, the woman which was being held against her way did nothing but cry as the hobo appeared to be squeezing her left boob mercilessly.

"Don't zlay on my inteliquence, I know zillion is a real walue, my zeacher thought me that."

"Are you just f*****g retarded or what," the other cop said, he too was also a Caucasian but he was shorter than his counterpart, about 5'6 in height.  "We can't play on what is non-existent and the other thing is, it's value not walue."

"Stop zoying with mer," he cries out.  "I am not scared of you, I am scared of nothing, meet my demands or I will shoot zis b***h, I swear it."

Just as he said that, a figure dropped from overhead and landed directly between the hobo holding the woman and the two police cars away, the figure held a young woman and was exactly 6'3 tall with silver hair, it was Zhangshun Shan.

"I don't think the woman likes the position you are putting her in," Zhangshun Shan grins as he sets Ashley down on her feet, as he did that, he began to work towards them with a devious smirk on his face.

"Citizen, we need you to step away from there, it's dangerous," the shorter of the cops say out.

"Yes, we are handling it just fine," the other assists.

"I am not shocked that this is what you call handling well, after all, you are at best 46 seconds long in bed and still brag to your friends that you f**k the brains out of whatever bitches you meet," Zhangshun Shan ends with a wicked grin, the look on the taller cop turned devastated as he staggered back.

"Wow, that was really savage," Ashley thought.  "He's really cool."

"Stay back, yer chinky eyes, else I will blow a sole through the grains in zis b***h!!" the hobo cries aloud.

"Next time you desire to threaten, ensure you are first using a gun that's loaded," Zhangshun Shan began as he walked towards the man, as Zhangshun Shan said that, the man wore an even more visibly scared expression.  "What is in your hands is an amt hardballer, it weighs about 1.3KG and can contain roughly nine rounds, your body has been shaking from the moment you held that woman meaning that at the moment, you are fragile and weak, I take it you haven't eaten anything tangible for at least 3 days meaning it's taking you all you have to hold the gun as a bullet Should weigh around 50g, if there was a 50 g weight added to the already 1.3Kg weapon you are holding, it means you are completely susceptible to any physical attack no matter how weak it is as your strength is presently infallible."

The lady who was being heard against her will heard that, she was aggravated, she didn't know what to be more pissed about, the fact that she had been crying over a bullet that wasn't loaded or the fact that he had been squeezing her boobs roughly, as fast as she could, she drove her left leg back hitting him in between his legs.

"Ugghhh," the homeless individual collapsed as he knelt on the ground, the woman continued to kick his crotch as she was shouting various cuss words out of anger and annoyance.

Zhangshun Shan stopped as he winked over at the policemen, they left the vehicle as they ran off to separate the woman from the man though the taller one was reluctant and still wore a distressed look on his face, they carried the man by his arms as they brought him to his feet.

"You don't longer have to worry about food and a good place to stay anymore," the shorter of the cops say.  "In jail, there will be a lot of that and I hope you like p***s cause you will be getting a lot of that," the shorter cop ended with a cruel laughter as he looked over at the taller one, the taller one didn't seem to get the joke as he just wore a look of pain.  "Look man," the shorter one continued.  "I see you ain't really good here, so tell you what, just confiscate his weapon and we'd be on our way to the station."

"A...al... alright," he murmured as he moved over to the weapon, dragging a transparent small bag from his left pocket, he moved over to the weapon.

"45 seconds guy," Zhangshun Shan grinned scornfully at the cop.  "Be careful, the gun you are about to take from the floor is actually loaded," as Zhangshun Shan said that, the woman who had been beaten the man earlier even staggered backwards in fear, the shorter cop had a more worried look but the hobo didn't appear annoyed facially, he was used to getting outsmarted.  "The weapon is quite the expensive model and there was no way someone who couldn't even dress properly could have gotten his hands on that, my guess was that he had probably taken it away from one of the garbage cans he dashed into, some amateurish criminals are fond of throwing weapons into disposal bins, so he must have found one luckily, also based on his speech, I had seen that he wasn't bright and regarding the way he kept shaking his palms, it was obvious that was his first time holding the weapon as his finger wasn't even on the trigger," Zhangshun Shan grinned as he bent down and picked up a small can from the ground.  "50g is actually very light but because of how it sounds, one who has no knowledge of the units of mass would think 50g would be quite heavy but really even this empty can," Zhangshun Shan said as he held the can up.  "Is far more heavier that the bullet of an amt hardballer, I used his ignorance against him go subdue him." Zhangshun Shan ends with a sinister smile.  "I am sure my stalker must have taken the bait, ever since I got into this world, I had this strange feeling that I was being watched and the aura of whosever was stalking me was different from the rider so I knew an inhabitant of this world rather was the one following me, even the time when I had upgraded my body to become way faster than light, I still felt like I was being watched but for some reason, whosever has been watching me couldn't see my battle with the dark rider and I am sure he bears no hostility as if he did, he would have attacked me during the fight with the dark rider as I was completely unconscious and the battle would have appeared as just a mere dream to those in this world whereas I was in a plane of existence that was even beyond dimensional intricacies, all of this is obvious that it had been staged just so whosever was stalking me could properly access my abilities." Zhangshun Shan thought.

Not too far from them was a 568 feet tall skyscraper, directly at the foot of the skyscraper, the shape of a man began to materialize, though his body was still invisible but yet the curves and shape depicted that this was a human man, it was about 7'3 tall.

"He is versed in Krigo as I had highly suspected," the figure thinks aloud.  "That is quite amusing as I thought Krigo was an ancient art and seeing a young lad such as him posses so much wisdom and lovely Krigo skill, it would benefit this world so much if he represented us, Master Jumoeng Sheng would be very happy when I present him."

Zhangshun Shan and Ashley were walking towards a restaurant, the outside of the restaurant was filled with expensive cars of several models ranging from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Tesla, Camry and so much more expensive vehicles that Ashley felt intimidated going into the restaurant, she locked hands with Zhangshun Shan as she kept walking with him still locking her arms with his.

"How can he not feel anyhow about this or is he just forming tough?" Ashley thought as she looked over at Zhangshun Shan's laid back expression.

"Don't feel belittled by this mere vehicles," Zhangshun Shan begins without even flinching in her direction.  "These are one of the worst form of assets anyone can ever own in your world and also, it's inconsequential to the speed at which I can move or the heights at which I can attain, you shouldn't feel sad by the little things that surround you which you don't posses but instead, you should be overjoyed that you are graced with the most powerful being in all of existence. "

Ashley couldn't help but let red crawl on her cheeks, whoseover Zhangshun Shan was, he really was more haughty than anyone he had ever met and yet, he didn't express his pride in a way that could piss her off but rather in a way that she couldn't help but smile, Ashley looked through the glass, she could see several people wearing such fancy dresses and suits, drinking the most expensive and top notch wine, she didn't mean to be hysterical but she was sure she spotted at least three mayor's, soon, her heart began to beat even louder, had she made a mistake by letting Zhangshun Shan take her on a date,

"Why didn't I suggest to him that he could have taken me to a local bar or something, being here feels quite frightening," She thought.

"I can see the maggots inside the building are making you demean both yourself and the entity which accompanies you," Zhangshun Shan grinned with his most sly smile.  "Well, that's no hassle, there's a reason..."

Zhangshun Shan stopped as he realized the people in the bar appeared to be paused, some of them who were laughing suddenly had their faces paused, the waitresses who had been walking were now Frozen in their steps, Zhangshun Shan looked over at Ashley beside him and she too appeared paused, this surprised Zhangshun Shan as he could recognize what was going on in the atmosphere.  "I can feel innate energy remnants in the atmosphere, I am pretty sure I didn't cause that so whosever was stalking me is also a Krigo user, he must have used one of the stealth arcs to disguise his prescence but the fact that I could sense his aura must mean he was either using arc 1 or 2 or he delibrately wanted me to know as if he could manipulate the environment so much that time stopped, then he's knowledgeable about Krigo even more than I."

While Zhangshun Shan was yet thinking, he heard a deep voice behind him.

"Stranger from another world," the voice began.   "I would like to challenge you to a duel."

"You are asking wrongly," Zhangshun Shan had his most haughty smile as he turned at the direction of the person speaking to him, it was a 7'3 tall man but was dressed in a brown garment which covered him from head to toe, Zhangshun Shan could recognize this was a male as he had no curves on his body whatsoever.  "What you should be saying is, please, don't kill me, take it easy on me and pardon my stupidity"

The figure lets out a chuckle as he pulled a strange big longsword about 6 feet long and four feet wide, it was cloaked in red, blue and green fire.  "Brace yourself, this battle won't be pretty."

Zhangshun Shan had an haughty smirk on his face as he just looked over at the individual in the distance.
