Ling Xuan sat in the caravan oblivious to all the undercurrents that were occurring. He then opened his eyes and looked at his hand, he took out a piece of metal and then breathed deeply. He then quickly closed his hand with the piece of metal inside. CRACK A small sound resounded and as Ling Xuan opened his fist, the small piece of metal had been reduced to look like a crumpled piece of paper. “The Potential Transmutation Art is magnificent with it, I strongly doubt anyone in the Disciple Selections will be my match!” Ling Xuan was ecstatic seeing the improvements. During the days when he was training along with Mu Feng, he had figured out that he could use The Inherent Potential to Kinetic Energy Converter technique repeatedly and there would be no reduction in power. The reason was simple after all as long as he changed his body’s position even a little bit he would be able to have Potential Energy which can then get converted to Kinetic Energy. The technique also made Ling Xuan 1.5x stronger when used, in other words it was probably the most powerful body enhancing martial technique in the world. “Yet life is tit for tat , the drawbacks of this technique are quite restricting as well, the technique requires sufficient amounts of Qi and as well as a durable body that won’t collapse.” Carto was vigilant; after all he in terms of power in this world was at most in the average bracket and above that were the Grand Masters and Beasts of Myth, beings that he could not hope to match. “Yet always being negative won’t do me very good. I have to stay optimistic and refine my power further. The Potential Transmutation Art is one of the keys in order for this to happen.” Ling Xuan's eyes shone. “Brother Xuan! What are you doing?” A voice called out to Ling Xuan who looked around for the speaker. “I’m here Senior Brother!” Ling Xuan looked towards the beasts of burden dragging the carriage and low and behold there sat a boy of about 5 years on it. Ling Xuan had been travelling for a while now and during this he had acquainted himself with the others who were on their way to the capital as well. “Xiao Er you should not be there, it is dangerous” Ling Xuan urged the boy. Yet the boy seemed to ignore him and continued to sit on the horse, smiling. Ling Xuan’s lips twitched and he coughed before saying “If you don’t get down I will call your older brother.” The child froze for a moment then quickly went to the caravan via crawling on the horses. “Please don’t tell my brother about this.” The previously cheeky brat was now begging Ling Xuan to keep it’s secret. “You are truly shameless aren’t you?” Ling Xuan shook his head and sighed. This child was Xiao Si, one of the little brothers to another of the passengers. “Fine, I won’t tell but now you tell me why did you call me?” Xiao Si was confused for a while before revealing. “Well, I could not see where you were. I searched the entire caravan and when I still could not find it I decided to just call you.” Ling Xuan was shocked as he was sitting in the caravan and anyone could see him. “Wait, when did you notice that I had disappeared ?” Ling Xuan asked seriously. Just as Xiao Si was about to answer, someone picked him up and hugged him tightly. “My brother I am back, don't be scared now, your big brother will be here now.” The teenager smiled and said. He had brown hair and a mole near his mouth. His strength could be easily identified by looking at the bulging muscles of his limbs. This was Xiao Si’s brother, Xiao Kang. He was someone who planned to participate in the Disciple Selections. Xiao Si was brought along with him due to his almost genius intellect with the family hoping that perhaps one of the sects or clans might take interest in him. Xiao Kang on the other hand was “almost” an average teenager, he had a normal personality along with an average potential for martial arts. Yet “almost” was the key word. “Even his family shouldn’t know of his ‘ability’ if they had perhaps they wou
