Life Drain System

    "Well, how about we show you all the products of King Uthers' mens' effort? I am sure King Uther will be quite pleased. As well as any of the rest of you who decide to utilize our services." Yueliang asks while closely observing their reactions.

    "You are actually training people?" A few of the people surrounding asked.

    "Yes, however it was a little difficult at first, since our training methods are a little rough for the faint hearted." Yueliang replies before asking. "So would you like to see their progress?"

    "Hahah, I find it funny that you are using my men, for your own personal advertisement. Truly a merchant at heart, although you tend to keep your prices to low for a merchant, even during the auction." King Uther says while laughing.

    Yueliang sighs before saying. "First off I am still not the most certain of prices in this world, but the second and most important reason is that I am not doing this for profit."

    King Uthers' eyes widen moments before asking. "If not for profit, then what are you doing this for?"

    "It is simple really, I want to advance the knowledge of this world. Of course, while it would eventually happen, it would be easier if we just sped it up. The only thing to worry about now is if the people 'you' are going to prove worthy of such knowledge yet, or if you will end up wiping yourselves out." 

    Hearing this, everyone around them, even some passerby people who were at the auction immediately started to feel a heavy feeling on their heart. This being because they all knew exactly what he was talking about.

    Seeing the looks on their faces Yueliang just smiles a little for a split second knowing full well why they felt so grim.

    "Well, may we check out the progress of my people now?" King Uther asks, trying to ease the tension that everyone including himself was feeling.

    "Of course, follow me." Yue says with a serious expression trying to remind them to keep such feeling as a reminder.

      While walking to the outer ring of the town, King Chilperic out of pure curiosity asks. "Just curious, what happens if you either deem us worthy or unworthy of such knowledge?"

    "Easy if you are worthy, you will continue to grow at a rapid rate with our help. If not, I will eradicate such knowledge from this place and we all shall leave." Yueliang states while leaving much open for interpretation. 

    Assuming that he meant he would kill everyone who knew of such things, they all subconsciously gulped, feeling for certain that he had the ability to back his words. Thus continuing the rest of the journey in silence, except for how Yueliang was giving a tour while walking. Telling them about the different places, what they had to offer and so on.

    "We are now entering the outer court, where most of our farming, training, and certain other things take place. Of course there are inns and shops out here as well, however most things are inside the inner court. Although soon it will be the core instead of inner, since we will be growing the size of this small town soon." Yue continues the tour and explanations until eventually reaching the pens.

    Upon arriving, Yueliang and the others seeing nearly unrecognizable soldiers, fighting giant lizards that are sucking in the earth around them, then vomiting it back out as a or multiple projectile(s) as a method of fighting, as well using their claws and chomping with their razor sharp teeth. They are also extremely quick, while watching, it is difficult for them to follow with their eyes.

    Watching the fight, they even see one of the giant lizards burrowing underground in a split second then reappearing underneath the fighter, while he was feeling the ground to see where it went before jumping and narrowly escaping its jaws.

    Each of the soldiers and the knight Lancelot, having their own to fight against. Seeing this everyones' eyes looked like they were about to pop out with their jaws hanging, except for Yueliang. Who at this moment, was walking up to Blake who is coincidentally in charge today with a calm face who is only a few meters away.

    "Hello Blake, it seems they have made great progress so far. They are practically unrecognizable, also I see that their armor is gone?" 

    Looking over to see who addressed her she says. "Ah hello, Yueliang, I hope the auction went well. But back to the matter at hand, these cowards kept relying on their weapons and armor, thus while they slept one night, we took it from them as you can see in the pile over there, not that it is even of decent enough quality to keep." 

    Slightly dumbfounded, Yueliang asks. "So is that how you got them to actually learn and do as they are supposed to? I mean it seems as though that would not do much."

    "Come now, you should know that that would not be enough. However instead of bothering you with the details, why not address your guests who look like they are about to fall over from shock?" She replies.

    "Good point." Yueliang says while walking toward them with Blake in tow, and he notices even Meiren is standing there with some shock visible on her face. Seeing this he just shakes his head.

    Noticing Yue on his way towards her, Meiren shakes her head to get rid of the daze before saying. "Sorry, I was a little shocked that in such a short time those children could make such progress." Referring to the adults currently fighting as children, considering how lowly she thought of them before and even now.

    Using soul communication, Yueliang replies teasingly. "Are you saying you could beat them?" 

    "Seriously, I could probably take one evenly. Although I am not even to my full strength yet if you put aside the cultivation factor. I am nearing adulthood but still have a little while." She explains still confident she would be evenly matched against one of them.

    "Mhmm." After that Yue then says aloud. "Ahem." Snapping each of the onlookers out of their daze.

    Hearing this, they all gradually shook off their daze before looking at him, and King Uther asks still visibly shocked. "What did you do? Who are these people?"

    "They are all your men, and all we did was train them a little bit. They have made a step forward in progress, but still have a long way to go before they are ready. Of course, you should find this obvious, yet still needs to be said. While we have and are training your men, it will not be to the extent that they even near our strength." Blake swiftly replies casually, not really caring about such little progress, considering even their little children can do this much.

      King Chilperic interrupts this time with some uneasiness. "You call this progress? This is a miracle, but even then, what will us countries that have not had this opportunity do? At this point there is not much we could do, unless the top people from any of our countries come out to fight them." The others nodding in agreement.

      "I thought I told you already. If you would like to receive training, our services are for hire. However if you are doing this just so you can fight with others..." Yueliang does not finish, and instead glares at them while emitting some killing intent, just enough to let them know he means business. While this was not enough to frighten any of the kings or seasoned fighters there, they understood his meaning.

      A few short moments later, Yueliang lifts the killing intent before saying with a smile. "I hope you all understand, and do not abuse this opportunity given to you." The smile on his face, completely differing from the words coming from his mouth. 

      Something that was common knowledge in this world being that, once people reached the top they only stay in this world for one year, this being to say their farewells and temporarily protect the places that groomed them. After that year was up, they leave not just because they want to grow more, but due to a more frightening reason they only found out a century ago, while one stayed to be with their loved one. 

      The world rejects those who have more strength than it allows here. Thus anyone who stays for longer than the one year allotment, will have lightning, meteors, massive hail, anything strong enough to kill them, start 24/ 7 until they either leave or die. Therefore the person who stayed died along with their dearest and closest loved ones.

      Hearing Yueliangs words, they immediately understood two things, one being that he could train people to be strong enough to leave this place in a month or so. The second being, if they ever offended such people, who somehow are stronger than the worlds strongest yet are staying somehow, they would likely die without know how or even when.

      However despite knowing such things, a king from a tribal like place asks. "I am curious, how is it you are staying here? Or is it that a year has yet to pass?" Thus causing many unnecessary ideas to float through the others heads.
