Yang Dao stood on the terrace, looking at the three girls sitting immobilized in front of him. After Lisa acknowledged the defeat, he waved his hand to remove their restraints. He did not talk but controlled the earth statue to co back to the place. There was still a big hole in the terrace.
The puppet ca back soon and Yang Dao filled the hole back to its real state. His hair fluttered along with the wind. He asked, "Do you have nothing to say?"
He could sense the surprise in the gazes of the three people. Mika said, "I want to ask you, who is the real Yang Dao? The one who saved my life in the race, or the one who almost killed today?"
Yang Dao smiled, "Real is the one who acts according to the situation, with everything in my mind. That day, in the race, you were my competitor doing your best to defeat , but you t an accident, so I saved your life. Today, you were competing with again, but you had helpers, I need you to get to them so the thrill. However, I had no intent to hurt you."
Mika sighed and nodded. Kiya said, "Were you this strong from day one of the college?"
Yang Dao shook his head, "That was the day, I found out my real identity."
Kiya asked, "The younger brother of President Feng?"
The young man shook his head and said, "The master, of heavenly spirit beasts. One of them is President Feng, the vermillion phoenix."
The two people were shocked but then they erupted in a burst of laughter. Lisa was the only one, who had a calm face. She was ntally prepared, she was aware that Feng Yun and the others were not normal people. The things they did were not sothing a normal human can achieve. How can she forget the night she was rescued, and the mont Feng Yun gave her that treatnt. She was able to hear it all but did not know what the tears of the phoenix ant, till now.
Yang Dao sighed and his temperant changed from a mortal to an entity that transcended mortals. The laughter from the two people gradually faded. Yang Dao said, "This world is governed by the four elents. It is made up of eight laws. It signifies the balance of order and chaos. This world is where people start their journey to reach the great dao.
I am the mortal representation of the Dao. I am the Dao Child of heavens. I represent the order of the Dao. The four elents and the eights laws are ruled over by the four heavenly spirit beasts. The Vermillion Phoenix, The White Tiger, The Azure Dragon, The black Turtle.
We are here to restore the balance of the world. That is our purpose here. That is our identity."
His voice made their hearts calm down. They sensed a peace like never before. They gazed at Yang Dao and found three halos intersecting with each other hovering over his head. Just looking at those halos made them gain a deeper understanding of their elents.
Lisa asked, "Master, can I follow by your side."
She did not need any other clarifications. She believed in Yang Dao with all her heart and soul. She only wished to be with him. Yang Dao said, "If you wish to, you may."
Lisa knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, Master."
Yang Dao did not mind one more to follow along. Also, Lisa had no ties in this world. Kiya and Mika hesitated a bit. They did trust Yang Dao because till a few months ago, they never thought that elents can be bent and controlled as well.
However, despite all that, they had ties and relations in the world that cannot be dealt with so simply. Yang Dao was aware of it and said, "We have ti before the final battle cos. We will leave after that only. I suggest to we all grow stronger and if you wish to follow , solve your entanglent. We do not know when we will be coming back. The choice is yours. Co to when you have decided."
Mika and Kiya exchanged a glance and nodded. The forr said, "Can you teach how to use elents in close combat?"
Yang Dao smiled and said, "Lesson one, you need to stop hesitating. You practice the fire elent. You are spontaneous, wild, brave. However, that is just the initial state of fire. You need to be consistent, calm, steady."
He waved his hand and a fire plu blossod above his palm. Slowly the chaotic plu of fire beca a fla lit on a candle. Then it turned to a bird and began to fly around. With a snap of Yang Dao's finger, it erupted like a cracker and floated in the void like sparks.
Mika could not believe that the Fire elent can look so delicate and exquisite. He looked at Kiya and said, "You practice the earth elent. You need to be more confident, Kiya."
He exerted a little strength from his feet and a lot of dominos protruded out of the floor. Then suddenly they began to fall, tipping the one next to them. The pattern they ford was a complex one. Yang Dao said, "The simple can be complex and the complex can be simple. Understand?"
Kiya nodded and the dominos lted back on the floor. Yang Dao said, "Lisa, I am yet to learn about water, but I will tell you one thing. Water is not only flexible if used with enough pressure, but it can also cut through diamonds."
Lisa nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, Master. I will rember it."
Yang Dao smiled and said, "How about we go to the sapphire residency? I have not cooked for you all in a long ti. Also, Kiya and I have a graduation party due."
Kiya said, "I graduated too. Did a thesis in physics. RALF assisted."
Yang Dao chuckled and said, "Cheating is a bad thing, Class Rep."
The people ca down the terrace of the building amidst laughter. The competition had finished, now they were friends. Lisa rushed ahead and got a car for them to ride. The three girls were laughing and smiling but they all understood one thing. Yang Dao was not the man they thought he was. He is sothing very simple yet out of the scope of understanding.
They all were enlightened about Dao, at the sa ti.
