The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao was confused by what she said. Feng Yun sensed his confusion and said, "You don't have to overthink it. The reason why I cannot guide you this time is because of the rules we all set up earlier. We wanted to guide you in elements we originate from. However, given the records, we decided that you shall be taught by people of different elements. This way, the risk of influencing you is also lessened."

Yang Dao asked, "What do you mean by influencing me?"

"If we taught you the elements we are proficient in, then you will get a better knowledge of that element and your own scope of exploration will be reduced. We will always share out hundred percent with you. You know that a cup filled to the brim will not be able to hold anything more. Right?"

Yang Dao heard her words and understood the meaning. He nodded and said, "I shall get back to the cantonment. I need to report and make records."

Feng Yun nodded and said, "Be careful on the road." With a warm smile on her face.

Yang Dao nodded and walked out of the office. His mood was suddenly complicated. He decided that he will find Atsuji Kurogame tonight itself to get this problem solved. He got on his bike and made his way to the cantonment unhurriedly.

...

In the cantonment, Carole and Tony sat in front of General Atkins. They had just finished describing how Yang Dao took down three hyper-humans in less than three minutes. The old man was shocked and sat in his chair in a daze. He said, "Contact Captain Yang Dao, tell him to report to me immediately."

He was very eager to meet Yang Dao. His purpose was not just the curiosity he had for this little guy, but also wanted to see the weapon Yang Dao used. Yes, Carole and Tiny gave a vivid description of the bow used in the assault. The old man had ideas about the heavenly armament. If Laohu Bai was here, she would have shoved his head into the ground.

A corporal standing behind him nodded and carried out the order. Carole and Tony exchanged a glance, and they wanted to say something, but the person in front of them was their superior. How can they just go forward and say that this was a bad idea? They knew what Dao could do and the old man was definitely underestimating him.

Speak of the devil and the devil comes. They were just in their thoughts when Yang Dao came to the door of the room they all were sitting in. He saluted the old man crisply as he came to stand in front of the table. General Atkins nodded and said, "At ease."

This guy had Carole and Tony sitting on the chair but did not ask Yang Dao to sit down. His gaze moved over Yang Dao, from head to toe. His eyes did not miss the bow ends over Yang Dao's shoulder. He said with a poker face, "Captain Yang, we will have to take custody of the bow you used tonight. It is a weapon and due to the laws, we cannot allow you to carry this on your person. Plus, you used this weapon to deal with the hyper-humans as well, so we need to analyze and see if it can be mass-produced.

I hope you have no opinions on that."

Yang Dao took the bow from his shoulder and placed it on the floor. He said, "If you can wield it, I have no problem."

Atkins raised his brows and asked, "Oh, you think, I cannot wield this bow?"

Yang Dao did not comment and shrugged his shoulders. Atkins has been dissed and told by him twice already as a senior officer he was being looked down on by a greenhorn. Shame on his title of a Lt. General.

The old man stood up from his chair and came around the table. He extended his hand towards Yang Dao. The latter also understood his intention and passed the bow in his hand. The moment Atkins held the bow, he felt as if he was holding a mountain in his hand. The bow looked slender and elegant, giving a light feeling, but the mass of it was like a mountain to people other than Yang Dao.

Atkins cursed Yang Dao's whole ancestor the moment he held onto the bow. He did not think that the bow was like that. He grit his teeth and said, "Why is this thing so heavy?"

Yang Dao simply shrugged and said, "How would I know, it feels really light to me." his face had no expression.

Suddenly, an old hand grasped the bow from Atkins and held it up. The owner of this hand was none other than Atsuji Kurogame. He could life the bow up because he was the incarnation of the heavenly beast, but the pressure on him was still present. If Atkins was a car crushed by a mountain, Atsuji Kurogame was a truck crushed by a hill.

The old man handed the bow back to Yang Dao with both hands and said, "This weapon is meant for one person only." Yang Dao took the bow with a faint smile on his face.

Atsuji Kurogame turned to face Atkins and said, "Lieutenant general Atkins, you are to go back to the high command. There are important things waiting for you there."

Neither did the old man have a face to stay and nor did he want to spend one more minute in Yang Dao's presence. Also, the one who ordered him was the boss of the boss of his boss. Atkins saluted and left while he hid the resentment in his eyes.

Carole and Tony were also relieved and Yang Dao was left alone with Atsuji Kurogame. The old man smiled and said, "You have a lot of questions, Young Master." in a genial tone.

Yang Dao nodded and said calmly, "Guide me, Elder. How to get past this hurdle."
