THE MARTIAL KING
Chapter 2 - The Hive of the Thugs

Xiao Xuan smelled the fragrance and woke up from his sleep, there was already food prepared by his sister and even though only the instant noodles and tubers were enough to whet his appetite.

"What are you doing, brother ?" Xiao Xuan was very surprised to see his Brother practicing.

"I'm healthy and ignore me. Eat and practice with me afterwards." Xiao Yan did a push-up since morning with the weight of the stone that was on his back.

Xiao Xuan ate his food and at a glance he felt that if his sister had changed, his previously calm and steadfast eyes now had a glimmer of courage. The possibility of the incident last time left him shaken and wanting to take revenge.

"If I'm not mistaken you have a Witch Job, what elements can you master ?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Ugh.. according to the data I have a high affinity with Fire. But I can't visualize it because my Manaku is only 50. I'm not talented at this and the job doesn't fit, I think I should give up on my dream." Xiao Xuan said with a smile.

Xiao Yan smiled and did not have any comment, although his memory was very messy now yet he knew very well the nature of his sister. His talent might not be very good but rather than meaning Xiao Yan had no solution for him, His sister had a soft heart and it was the opposite with him.

"Then if one day you become a great Witch, what do you want to do ?" Xiao Yan asked casually.

"Being rich and building an orphanage and helping people by killing the Abbys." Xiao Xuan replied firmly and even though that day would never come to him.

Xiao Yan stood up and wiped his sweat, he took out a paper and pen quickly wrote down a method. After hearing this he could not ignore it, one would definitely grow up later and it was time for Xiao Xuan to find his own way.

Xiao Yan gave it to him and said, "This is a breathing method where the fire element I obtained from my Master. He said if this method should not be spread widely or he would kill me."

"Then why did you give it to me ?" Xiao Xuan was reluctant to accept it and did not like it if his brother's life was at stake.

"There's no other choice because you're my brother. You've got a good method and I have to go to work. If you want to make your dream come true then you must work hard, don't waste this opportunity." Xiao Yan went to the bathroom and prepared to go to work.

Xiao Xuan looked a little hesitant and meditated for a bit, his body was enveloped by flames and every breath was extremely hot. His chest slowly began to tighten and he hurriedly stopped him, in just a few minutes he felt the amount of his Mana increase rapidly.

Xiao Yan came out and put on his jacket, "I forgot to tell you. Don't do the exercises inside the house in case of an accident and you lose control we will lose the house. It would be very effective if you practiced near the fire !"

"I mean Brother I should light a candle and practice nearby so ?" Xiao Xuan asked excitedly.

"Ugh. I mean you have to use the heat directly. Take an example like this. If you practice near the crater of the volcano then the hot air must be very pronounced." Xiao Yan explained it briefly and left.

Xiao Xuan did not expect that if his Brother possessed this kind of method, this theory had never been explained by Experts yet it was all still quite reasonable. Xiao Xuan will give his best to fulfill his dream and in the future he will help his Brother.

Xiao Yan walked leisurely while looking at the view of the city, but his goal this time was not to his place of work and after some time he arrived at an empty building. There was a bit of noise and he went inside casually. Inside there were four thugs who were gambling, seeing the arrival of visitors made them a little amused.

"Yeah... This boy came here again... do you want to be beaten up just like before ?" Asked the Thug who walked towards Xiao Yan.

The thug held Xiao Yan's head and looked to underestimate him. Xiao Yan smiled and said, "You're the first person who dares to hold my head !"

Xiao Yan clasped the big hand and using a little bit of inner strength, the big man cried out in pain and his three comrades took out a knife on their waists.

"Argh." Shouted The big man who looked in pain.

"Interesting." Xiao Yan used his strength and twisted the big man's hand until it broke.

*Shelves.*

The sound of broken arms and the cry of pain rang out very loudly, The big man kneeled on the ground crying and his three friends looked at each other doubtfully. The boy they beat up two days ago now returned with his madness, he did not even hesitate to break the arms of others as if he did not care about his life.

"Look... You better let it go otherwise this won't end fine !" One of them tried to threaten Xiao Yan while pointing his knife.

"That knife is not a toy for bad kids like you." Xiao Yan dashed towards them and jumped.

His knees smashed right into the face of one of them and blood came out from his nose, his body was thrown up to hit the table and Xiao Yan looked crazed. The two blades moved towards his head and Xiao Yan dodged them very easily.

For him the fight with the Demon King was still like yesterday, although his body was not very strong but the control of his inner energy and fighting instinct was not lost. Reflexibly Xiao Yan was able to dodge the attack and if he was hit by the blows from these amateurs then it was better for him to bury himself in the ground.

Xiao Yan caught both of their wrists and strengthened his horses, he lifted the two of them and slammed them against the ground extremely hard.

"It's enough to mess around.you are free to choose what kind of death you want. Skin you, cut your head or cut your body small and give it to the dog to eat." Xiao Yan took out their knives and sat down in the chair.

The man with the broken arm was terrified and ran towards the exit, but before he went the knife flew towards him and stuck it in the back of his head. Blood splattered on the ground and Xiao Yan killed him without the slightest hint of guilt.

"If you think of my words as nonsense then it will be a big deal. You can try to run but whether you're faster than my knife throw or not will be destiny." Xiao Yan played the knife in his hand.
