Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 46: Mo Family (2)

3 A.M.

[Lee..I just want to notify that some Mo family elders have arrived at the inn. Nothing serious, just letting you know.]

'How many?!'

[2.]

'Keep me posted.'

Lee spoke half-slept and then went back to slumber. He added to wake him up at 5 A.M.

*ding ding ding*

[Lee, it's 5. Wake up]

'Already?'

[Just wake up. Lay down more and you'll become a lazy ass.]

'Uhhh..ok.'

Lee got up from the bed reluctantly. After turning the lantern on, D explained the atmosphere downstairs. D assumed that the two elders from Mo family were here as a result of his 'rude' behaviour. Afterall, they were very prideful beings.

He wore his tee and opened the window to the horizon. The darkness wasn't going anywhere, but Lee could see things clearly.

As he sat on the chair beside the table, Lee queried-

'D, the condition for progressing the affinities, what were they again?!'

[There are no conditions. As long as you use the affinities during attack, each hit will increase the progress by one.]

'So I need a target to practice, eh?!'

[Were you expecting to practice without a target?! You are smarter than your brain!]

'Essence I have?'

[45272.]

'Any suggestions?!'

[Enough to buy the Light element beast pearl. Other than that, we still have 7 bandit extermination requests left, 2 in the south and 5 in the eastern side of Lorin.]

'Do you think we can depart from here today itself?!'

[Unless any external factors involve, we can.]

'But the pearl and absorb it.'

[Pearl brought.]

=====

Obtained 'Light element beast pearl'. Absorb?

=====

'Absorb.'

The pearl disappeared from the Inventory and Lee summoned the Status.

'I have a certain doubt I must try out.'

Lee took out his nunchuck and activated Poison, Lightning, Rock, Metal, Nature, Sound and Dark affinities. He effortlessly moved the table and chairs from the center of the room. After making enough space, he took his stance and swung his nunchuck.

*wush*

A single swing and he froze. He took a second to make sure that his swing was perfect. Then, he immediately opened the affinity panel.

*INTENSE INWARD SCREAMING*

D literally jumped out of Lee's body when his soul was screaming jubilantly. D took a moment to comprehend what the hell was happening, and when he saw, his jaw hit the floor.

'Dee....I never thought it was possible!!!'

[How did you do it?! Even I couldn't see what happened!!]

'I just imagined that an enemy is standing before me. With this in thought, I swung the nunchuck and tadaaa....the affinities increased.'

[Then don't just stand there. Keep practicing. We need to reach the Absolute grade at each affinities before stepping into the Elemental Binding realm.]

Lee nodded and began to swing his nunchuck with regular intervals. As soon as he realised that an interval between swings are not needed, his pace went super-high.

'D, go mute until 7. Only notify me if any emergencies arose.'

With this command, he began his session. Time became lost in vigorous actions.

A one and half hour practice made Lee drenched in sweat and stink. His tee was all soaked in and stuck to his skin. The wet tee exposed his physical uniqueness and figure.

The notification threw Lee off his track. He stored his nunchuck in the Inventory and walked towards the bathroom. He glanced at the affinity panel before entering.

A long and luxurious bath. Perhaps this is the first bath he had after coming to this dimension.

He stepped out of the bath and dried himself. After checking that Ian and Shi Sera are almost awake, he quickly dressed and sat on the chair with the panel before him.

'D, active production of affinities, explain them!'

[It's quite simple. Till now, you have imagined how attributes cover up your tools. Now you have to imagine those affinities being created from your within. Don't ask me to teach you. It's something you have to find out yourself. I advise you to find another secluded spot to practice, because misfire is expected.]

D made Lee aware of the potential dangers. Wearing the jacket on, Lee made sure to that all his belongings are either on the Inventory or in the Spatial ring. He also didn't forget to take those 3 sound-transmission runes.

Switching off the lights and locking the door, Lee went to the room of Ian. His was right adjacent to Lee's. Ian opened the door and saw Lee in full attire. Ian was confused to see Lee At such early morning. He had only started to do some stretches.

"I came to ask about leaving the city. I'm not in a rush, but if it is long, will I have the time to take a stroll through the streets?!"

"It will take about an hour or two for food to come to our doorsteps. You have plenty of time."

Lee smiled, nodded and backed off as Ian closed the door. Lee walked to the stairs and descended to the ground floor.

At the reception, a new lady was standing. She was no less alluring that the previous. When he slowly climbed down, she caught sight of him. Her cautiousness under the fake smile was visible to Lee, but he didn't mind it. When he reached the floor, she greeted him and asked as to what the customer needed.

"Nothing, I am simply going out for an hour. Won't be too long."

Lee spat these words as he passed by her. It was a simple response, but felt like a slap at her face. This woman and her plumpy front had never failed to attract a man's stare. Seeing Lee walking out of the door, she went back to the desk and pressed a button beneath the counter. Her soft voice accompanied her action.

"The man has gone out. Notify the elders. He seems eligible!"

-------------------------

The daylight was slowly flowing into the streets. The roads sparsely had any carriages. The pedestrians were countable on the fingers.

8 A.M.

1620 Essence harvested.

Lee slowly strolled through the sidewalk with his hands in his jean's pocket. He had a calm mind and a beautiful smile. His long black jacket revealed his white tee. Many found him strangely attractive. His out-of-the-world attire pique interest of many!

He enquired in the nearby stores about the city and its influential families. As he expected, the Mo family name came up as the second most influential in the city. He went around walking for nearly an hour. It was then D uttered-

[Looks like the elders from early morning have assembled in front of the inn. They have arrived with some people with swords and spears. Probably cultivator lackeys. They are cautious.]

'Their cultivations?'

[The elders are in the Soul Condensation realm. The others range from Foundation Building to Elemental Binding. Nothing worthy of being an opponent.]

'Then let's head back.'

Lee directed his legs towards the inn. Soon, he saw a bunch of cultivators in front of the inn. As soon as they saw him approaching, they reached to touch their weapons. The elders sensed his presence, but didn't sense his cultivation. D has increased the cultivation masking to a whole new level, fixing the previous fault.

Lee walked past the cultivators, to the door. They stared at him, but Lee didn't feel any hostility. As he neared the door, an elder stopped him.

"Young man, what is your name?!"

The elder had white beard and a traditional arrogant look on his face. He tried to keep a smile, but his arrogance overcame it.

"No one."

Lee coldly glanced with a repelling stare. The elder instantly sensed that he is not an ordinary youngster. The tall and black bearded elder stepped forward and spoke-

"We have piqued interest in you. Thus, we would like to test your strength. Fight these cultivators."

Before Lee could frown and raise his confusion, a spear came from his back. He evaded it with incredible agility. The elders were impressed by his nimbleness. Lee flashed and appeared at the center of the road. He looked dead at the 9 men standing in front of the door.

"Move, or you will die!"

Lee raised his left hand about his stomach height. His palm was upward and a ball of lightning began to materialise in his palm. The elders were shocked to see intense lightning from the youngman's palm. They were ecstatic to see a young man with such accurate control over his element.

The cultivators looked at the elders. The elders nodded and they gave way to Lee. Lee walked forward to the door and glanced at the two elders. The lightning in his hand was starting to condense into a lightning ball! Elders saw this and noticed his glare-

"Whoever you are, wherever you are from, I don't care. Do not expect me to be reserved next time."

The tall elder felt him. The white bearded elder felt him. All the cultivators felt him. They could only hope that he is not some big-shot.

The tall elder sighed and replied-

"We are sorry. Let me introduce ourself. I am Mo Chao, an elder in the Mo family. This is my brother and Mo family elder Mo Liwei."

The name Mo family made Lee wanting to clench his fist, but he resisted. He frowned as he replied-

"I have no enmity with your Mo family. I have not even heard of your family. Care to explain what these are for?!"

Mo Liwei took liking of Lee's straightforward manner. He took a step forward and replied-

"Our young mistress is coming to the age. We are in search for a suitable man for her."

"That does not explain the intention of attack."

Lee instantly replied as he looked over his shoulder, at the spearman. He immediately lowered his head, so as to avert Lee's gaze.

"It is not good to talk like strangers. Please follow us."

The elders opened the door and welcomed Lee. He followed them to a spacious courtyard. There was a small pond at the center and koi fishes swam in it. Near the pond was an average round table with three chairs around it. Mo Chao invited Lee to drink tea with them.

"Mo family is the most powerful and influential family in the city of Yeuvis. We are also one of the most respected families. Our family had given birth to prodigies at every generation. Our Mo family is very strict when it comes to selecting someone."

Lee was staring with a faint frown of confusion. He was thinking so hard, yet he couldn't just find a reason for their invite. Mo Chao paused and glanced at Mo Liwei. He took the cue and resumed-

"Our young prodigies are nurtured from the very beginning. We only give them the best.

Two months ago, our family's youngest and most beautiful nprodigy Mo Jun turned 18. She is very talented among the generation. The family head conducted a test for finding a suitable and talented bridegroom for the young miss. Sadly, not even the sons of nobles failed to win. But you, youngman, seem to have what it takes to win the test!"

Now, it's all clear. These guys are no different than marriage brokers - Lee laughed inside. As a result, a smile came up on his face.

"What was the test?! How do you know that I can win it?! You don't even know me!"

Three young women came and served tea. Mo Chao took a cup and answered-

"You will not know the answer until you give it a try!"

The smile on Lee's face disappeared. He lowered his head in deep thought. D was the only one he could lean on.

'Should I try or should I not?!'

[Try it. It's good to increase your fame and try out what you have obtained recently!]

Lee raised his head and looked at the elders with a smile. The elders thought that he was happy to hear such an offer. But in reality, he just wanted to see the extent of his new firepower.

"I agree. I am eager to try out this test."

Lee replied and the elders became excited. They stood up and spoke to Lee-

"If you don't have anything else, shall we right now?!"

Lee remembered about Ian and Shi Sera and asked permission to talk to them.

Lee went to the lobby where Ian and Sera were standing. Upon seeing him, they raised their brows in confusion. Lee saw their expressions and spoke-

"I'll be going with these Mo family elders to discuss something. Shi Sera, please don't tell An that I'm going with them. Instead, tell her that I'm on the bandit extermination requests, and that I'll not take more than a day to return. Ian, please don't disclose this matter."

The duo can guess that situation. After making sure that he'll be alright, they left and big goodbye to Lee. Lee watched them disappearing in the distance and walked to the elders. They had already mounted on their horses. Lee mounted up and they together left for the Mo family's mansion.
