Chapter 720: Child

Somehow this place was very different from the world he remembered and he spent much of his time poring over history and geography books. Unfortunately, the history books only had a detailed account of events for the last few hundred years and only a vague impression of the prior thousand.

Upon reaching the age of 16, Dou Bao began to make a name for himself as a new young genius, defeating all the other youths of the city with his immense prowess. The golden egg in his Dantian was already the foundation for an Inner Core, and his progress to the fifth rank would naturally be without bottlenecks. The new head of the Dou Clan was extremely proud of his genius son. The youth had accomplished feats that not even he had been able to do when he was young. His wife warned him of their sons arrogance and overconfidence, but time and again, the boy proved himself. He won every challenge and was first in every competition, it was like there was nothing he couldnt do.

Dou Bao became the most famous person in their small city and was recruited to join the most powerful Sect in the area. The Yeying Shen Sect, or the Immortal Nightingale, was an overlord of the area, ruler of the surrounding ten thousand miles. They were equivalent to a first rate power with a province under their command, and he was eager to find out how strong they were. As the greatest power in a huge area, they were the only worthy place for him to head to and he happily left home at the Dou Clan to join the Yeying Shen Sect.

His undefeatable records continued. How could these teenagers have a chance against his thousands of years of experience? His power in a direct confrontation was in the top ten of these youngsters, so it took only a little portion of his experience at scheming and in combat tactics to easily make himself the top student. He was a little disappointed when he wasnt chosen as the Direct Disciple of the Sect Master, but there was nepotism at play. The Sect Master already had descendants of the same age to make into disciples. Instead, Dou Bao was chosen by the number two figure in the Sect, the master weapon refiner, Hao Ai.

With this new teacher, Dou Bao started to show off one of the skillsets hed attained long ago. He became a refiner like his master. Hao Ai was very pleased with his progress, showing him off to all her friends. She especially liked to flaunt his progress in front of the Sect Leader, since the man had given Dou Bao up in favor of his great niece. Dou Bao used his own creations to become an archer of great renown. His arrows could pierce through anything and were said to have eyes of their own. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

Dou Bao words sparked an argument and a shouting match that continued until fists started to fly. The Sect Leader, Hao Ai, Dao Bao, and the other youngsters that were there stayed out of the fight, but there were Elders supporting either side of the argument that werent shy to settle the dispute with their fists. Both parties wished to maintain their dignity while they let their supporters fight instead. In this fight, Hao Ai, normally the second highest voice in the Sect, kept her mouth shut. She could not speak out against her own favorite disciple, but she also didnt agree with what he was doing. Hai Ais supporters also stayed neutral, which put the Sect Leaders loyalists against Dou Baos cronies.

Eventually, Dou Bao forced a confrontation and after thoroughly defeating the most powerful fighters in the Sect save for the Sect Leader and the top Elders, they were forced to admit his ability. Even so, they were still unflinching in their desire to stop him from becoming the next leader of the Sect after this outburst. They were worried about the Sects future. There was a glimmer in Dou Baos eye and then the Sect Leader finally rose to his feet.

Dou Bao is just concerned for the Sects future should there be a disaster. It is this unyielding character that I admire the most, and also the reason that I have no reservations about naming Dou Bao as the next in line for Sect Leader should anything happen to me. This is a joyous occasion for us all, so no more bickering!

The conflict was resolved in a flash and the many Elders found themselves celebrating with their opponents over bowls of wine. They were still worried over the character of their future Sect Leader, but the current Sect Leader seemed to be so assured of his decision that they could only hold their tongue and continue to celebrate.

Only Dou Baos master, Hao Ai, knew the real truth. The Sect Leader had sent her a secret voice transmission before making his decision, You are the only one that has any influence upon him. If I deny him, then the Yeying Shan Sect will be no more. Please help him to choose for the good of the Sect in the future.

Less than ten years later, the Sect Leader fell. He was surrounded and killed by the leaders of three other Sects. Sects that were jealous of the Yeying Shan Sects growing power, and Dou Bao stepped up to assume the position.
