But to the pedestrians in a certain street of the central district; What they saw and heard was completely different. First, they heard it, it was similar to the sound of a thunderstorm slowly forming, but instead of being regular lightning. It had a very metallic tone to it, as if lightning itself was being refined by a blacksmith.
Then as they finally saw it, the few individuals that were in the street understood what it was. Their jaws dropped to the ground as the source of the sound streaked in the direction of the floor. Hopefully, there was no car in the way or else it might have been a disaster. Nonetheless, the few people present began running for their lives as they saw it approach the ground with meteor-like speed. Some began praying, other sped as much as they could believing in the power of science to save whatever was left.
Though, none of that happened. As the distance that separated Fell and the old general from the floor was merely ten meters. He grabbed the old general one last time, his arm jerked, and the old general was sent slightly upward. This motion negated the majority of the kinetic energy his body acquired during the free fall. The MechSuit was quite heavy. But to the current Fell, such feats were as easy as flipping a pancake on a pan.
As for Fell, he faced the issue in a very straightforward manner. His feet touched the ground, but no sound was heard; Few saw the scene of his feet touching the ground, he tiptoed while landing as if he was just taking a step down from a staircase. No sound was made. To be more precise, no human was skilled enough to hear that sound.
As he landed, he dissipated all of the energy his body had acc.u.mulated during the freefall on the ground. The humongous earth acted like a sponge that absorbed the full force of his dive, that energy spread miles and miles away producing a very mild grunty tremor. Some could say that the earth was groaning from pleasure.
"G.o.dly… Am I dreaming… I've read too much manhua. Yeah, this is just a near-death experience, I've read about them online… Yeah, that's the only explanation." Thought a random salesman that was pa.s.sing by. "So, I'm dead. Well… Unlucky for me…" He voiced all of his thoughts as he looked around, thinking that everything he was seeing was just a product of his dying body.
The gentle and youthfully featured Fell was descending from the skies. He had a sort of holy aura that was emanating from him. He stood there, waiting, in the middle of the street; His hands were behind his back and his crow black hair danced with the wind as he calmly pondered on the next course of action.
It was at this moment that he heard the salesman talk about his death in daylight. His eyes were wide open, and he was dumbfounded by his gibberish. He was impressed by humanity's power of rationalization.
Thud! A m.u.f.fled sound of metal hitting the floor awakened him from his thinking. He turned his neck and saw the old general awkwardly stumble out of the MechSuit.
What went up in the rooftop was a s.h.i.+ning, glorious knight-like, MechSuit that was ready to go through fire and thunder. But what went down was a mess of metal sheet and wire that couldn't be called a suit anymore. The old general patted his tattered clothes as they were filled with fine silvery powder. As he finished cleaning himself, he caught a glimpse of a body in a black martial attire. He recognized the figure that completely destroyed his MechSuit, but had helped him advance in his cultivation. Heavy respect appeared in his eyes, he bowed in the direction of the youth.
"Thanks." A single word left his mouth. He who was always stingy with words, didn't change his habit even when thanking a benefactor.
A smile appeared in Fell's youthful face as he pondered on what to answer. "It's nothing. I don't like killing people that much." He answered while lifting his hand ready to help the old general to stand tall. But the old man's spine was as hard as metal, Fell he couldn't break his bow unless he turned serious.
"It wasn't for that." The Old General added before turning around, he then swiftly began leaving the scene, "My name is Daniel. Daniel Morgan, come fetch me if you need any help."
"Is this city filled only with weirdos?", he questioned himself as he saw the old general disappear from his view, "I thought the eccentrics were all in the core, but it looks like my reasoning was flawed…"
"They should be here soon", he pondered while looking at the clear sky. "I've gifted them quite the special show…", he rea.s.sured himself that what he did was the right course of action as he patiently waited.
Five minutes swiftly pa.s.sed in a few breaths. During this short time, as if they were notified, the pedestrians left the scene. Before leaving, they bowed deeply in the direction of Fell. Respect was plastered all over their faces, and a few of them braced their minds and tried talking to him.
"Hey br… h.e.l.lo Mister, do you mind helping this young one with an issue?"
Fell calmly opened his eyes and looked at the young man. The youth in front of him seemed to be in teenage years, not higher than seventeen. He was wearing a clean suit, although slightly overused as it had a few marks here and there. He was well shaved and, from his posture and clothing, he knew that he was an official. Fell was surprised as he was sure that the youth in front of him was not a n.o.ble; Although his face was youthful, it was hardened by a few wrinkles, and it seemed that he was no stranger to hards.h.i.+ps.
A few seconds pa.s.sed but no answer came to the question. The youth kept the same smile on his face, unmoved by the silence. As time ticked, the young official felt that this was a test from the senior in front of him. His thick skin was built and tempered through several trials, high was the number of b.u.t.ts he licked and his techniques were countless. His level of patience was incredible, one day he had to attend to a higher-up's needs. He tremendously exerted himself, pus.h.i.+ng through several of his limits. He had followed the Major Official to such a degree that he scared him. He never took a rest in his duties with 19 hours work days, and during rough times it would even go up to 20 hours.
"I saw this golden opportunity. I have no intention of backing up unless you severely hurt me. I don't think you will kill me. You will hurt me severely, but I will live. This is a golden opportunity! Cultivation…" His mind beamed at the chance in front of him, it was literally as if gold bars dropped from the sky and fell in front of his doorstep.
Fell gradually understood that the young official in front of him wasn't gonna move from his side. He looked straight into his eyes for a few minutes; this act made the official sweat buckets of cold perspiration. His back was drenched, and droplets slowly formed on his face as they slid over his chin. But his stubborn smile was still plastered; He fawned as he waited for Fell to answer his question.

"Oh. Let's see if you can resist if I add this.", Fell mused as he rotated a little bit of soul cultivation base, "I'll spread it a little bit around you, hmm… Like this!" A little part of his will spread around the youth, it thinned as it twirled around his arms and legs. Then it went up his torso before climbing to his head. During the course, it got thinner as it approached the young official's Glabella.
"Let's call it a Will Lock. With this, not only will you feel pressure all over your body, but the pressure will increase as you resist it. And if I add this, your will is going to pour out of your body at a faster rate.", while he applied his thoughts, his mental energy thinned as if it was reduced to a single strand. It pierced through the Young Official's glabella.
The Young Official's, unmovable, fawning smile finally changed. He ushered a grunt as Fell's mental pressure washed over his body. He felt the change happening to him and slightly panicked.
"Don't hesitate! This is your moment!" He screamed in his mind as he began shaking. His teeth clapped and his body shook like a leaf. He trembled so much, his unsteadiness would make anyone question if the wind wouldn't send him stumbling away.
