The Urban Dao Child.

The night bled with sunlight and a new day started. Yang Dao was sleeping in the reception area and not the room allocated for him. Why? Because the kids in the orphanage all want to stay with him since the room was not big enough they set up some mattresses in the reception area. Nina and Tina, however, were undefeated and slept closest to the boy. 

It was five o'clock in the morning when Yang Dao woke up. He sat up and found that everyone else was sleeping, so, he stood up silently and made his way to the sides. The reporting time was eight o'clock and he still had three hours. 

The boy rummaged through his luggage and took out his sports shoes. Then, before anyone woke up. He ran outside the orphanage. He missed this place so now that he was visiting, he decided to go for a quick run in the city. 

He had just come out of the building when he found Lin, Kaya, Talen, and Victor practicing taichi. However, their stances were all different. His arrival was also sensed by them. They all stopped and waved at him. 

Yang Dao walked over and saluted them, after all, they were all his senior officers. He asked, "Do you all only practice with TaiChi?" he did not know why he asked but the question was instinctive to him. 

The other four nodded. Victor said, "Before we were commissioned we used to have different practices but now we are almost always on stand by so, we do not have much time on hand." 

The rest sighed. Yang Dao said, "You all are my protection detail arranged by Baibai, right?" 

The four people nodded. Yang Dao smiled and said, "Come then, we will go for a quick run. Also, be quick, come back before the coach wakes up." his words made the people exchange glances and they nodded to him. 

The Dao Child had already rushed forward before they could react. They also followed him. At first, the pace was calm and steady. Yang Dao said, "Senior Kaya, can you feel how the earth rebounds your feet when you run?"

Kaya was surprised and after noticing what Yang Dao mentioned, she said, "Yes."

The boy kept talking, "This shows that the firm earth is flexible as well." his words sent Kaya into a moment of trance. She has never actually noticed this but this young man in front of her actually made her enlightened. She was not dumb. She knew what Yang Dao said. 

Kaya had a personality of being very calm and cheery usually but as soon as she is onto a task her temperament becomes rigid. The balance of the two sides was what made her complete, and just now she realized this fact. She sensed the earth source energy inside her becoming even more rich and refined. 

This was how one refined the source energy inside them by realizing and comprehending the meaning and properties of the element they practice. The other three people were also shocked. They did not expect Yang Dao to suddenly give them pointers. 

When in the military training Laohu Bai told them that this boy was a gem, they did not understand at first but as time passed, they had realized that this boy was indeed a gem. He can solve things that have bothered them a lot. Also, his talent for practicing elements was even higher than the strongest people they have seen. 

Thus, they did not look down on him. Yang Dao continued and said, "Senior Talen, do you feel the heat inside your body? Do you feel how as you breathe while running, the heat inside you makes the outside colder?" 

Talen replied, "Yes." he felt a strong heat inside his body due to running but as his body became heated the outside became colder to him, relaxing him a bit. It is just like the phenomenon, you run for an hour and when you stop, you feel that the outside is colder by a bit.

Yang Dao said, "This is fire, balanced by nature. Fire can not only make things warm but also make them cold. It is said that extreme heat can generate cold."

Talen was also enlightened in this way. The two others were also pointed out and they also had some gains and the thing was that they did not even realize when they had started to sprint through the streets and roads of the city with Yang Dao. Their speed was enough to give any professional athlete a run for their money.

They returned to the orphanage after thirty minutes and the boy was greeted by Ayaka standing at the doors. The pretty coach was glaring at him hard enough to scare him. She took a step forward and held his ear in his fingers and she said, "You Naughty Boy. Who allowed you a run around? Do you want to lose your legs? Go take a cold bath and you are not allowed to walk on your legs until it is time to report at the starting line." 

Yang Dao grimaced but nodded. He did not say anything to make this she-devil even more infuriated. Ayaka let go of his ear and the boy walked inside the reception hall. Then he took some of his clothes and then he came to the bathroom. He dipped his legs inside the bucket filled with cold water and relaxed them. Then he closed his eyes to meditate. 

He was going to heal his injured muscles and get ready for the race today. In his mind, however, the ideas about his upcoming trip with Laohu Bai were almost raging a storm. He calmed himself after a few minutes and focused on his recovery. Sushi meanwhile massaged his hair with shampoo. She had taken a liking to this bubbly substance, unexpectedly it can make her own hair silky and smooth.  No matter what species, women loved to look good.
