The Urban Dao Child.

Atsuji Kurogame stood up from his chair and stretched his body slowly. He said, "The trial of Titania will begin soon. You all have any words to convey to him?" 

Ryu Jinshi shook his head and said, "You just do not lose too badly." 

Laohu Bai smirked and said, "Master always hates when people look down on him. So, try not to do that if you wish to have your shell intact after the trial." 

Atsuji Kurogame chuckled and said, "My trial does not test the strength. It is about the wisdom of a person." 

Feng Yun said, "Go. We will await your return." 

She was tense about this trial. Never before had this trial been completed by anyone. The previous Dao Children, regardless of what order they learned the elements and the laws, have never been able to even complete this trial let alone pass or fail. 

The rules of this trial were not known to them but they knew that Atsuji Kurogame, despite his different names in all his incarnations has been a sly bastard. His task was to thoroughly check the wits of the Dao Child. He was the bad cop, who specialized in breaking the Dao Children to the point where they are eradicated. 

Atsuji Kurogame flickered and vanished from his place. Ryu Jinshi said, "It will take him a few minutes to reach the moon." 

The two ladies nodded with a somber expression. They could not get their mind to be at ease. Ryu Jinshi looked at them and said, "Trust in him. He will not let us down." 

That was all that he could say. The three people began to wait for the assessment to begin. 

...

Yang Dao was using his lev-board to traverse the dusty moon. His speed was faster than before. He was using his source energy to propel even faster. He had already covered a few more than ten kilometers, on the way he had been recording the scenery in the High definition camera embedded in his helmet and pauldrons. 

After coming a bit further he looked around and made sure that he was not in the range of the bunker's detection system. He turned off his live feed but left the biotelemetry on. He did not wish to make the people in the bunker get worried and set out on a search. 

...

The person ogling at the monitoring system suddenly heard a beep from the system, he turned to check and was surprised. He turned his head back and said, "Major Lin, Yang Dao is out of bounds."

Lin raised her head and asked calmly, "His Biotelemetry is, Okay?" 

The man nodded and reported, "Yes, everything looks normal, just that he is now moving in an uncharted territory." 

Lin nodded and said, "Do not worry he is careful enough and smart enough to restrain himself." 

Her slightly cold voice made the people calm down. They all got back to setting up the supplies inside the bunker. 

...

Yang Dao stopped in the center of a crater and looked in a direction. He sensed something looking towards him. He was correct, Atsuji Kurogame stood in the void, looking at him with a smile. He was wearing a black cloak. His old face gave Yang Dao an eerie vibe at the moment.

The old man waved his hand and created a barrier around them. He said, "Dao, this place is now an isolated space, it has its atmosphere, you can take off your helmet."

Yang Dao was not surprised at him being able to appear out of nowhere and stay alive in the vacuum. He trusted him at the moment and after pressing a button on his suit, he unlocked the helmet. 

Phish...

The helmet was unhinged and taken off by Yang Dao. He did not say anything at first but he kept looking at the old man in front of him for a few moments. He asked, "What are you looking for here, Elder?" 

He did not want to lose the initiative but the person ahead of him was the black turtle, and his patience was on a different level completely.

Atsuji Kurogame said, "This place is where we will begin your trial of the water element and the laws of Space and Time. I will be presiding over the test." 

Yang Dao nodded and did not ask much. He was aware that he would have to pass such a trial to him it did not matter whether the trial comes sooner or later. So, he did not worry about it. What mattered to him was not being able to have the time to try to gain an understanding of the laws of time and space. 

He asked, "The rules of the trial?" 

Atsuji Kurogame said, "You have thirty minutes to comprehend the laws of space and time, every thirty minutes, I will be killing one of the people in the space bunker. This will motivate you. After all of them are finished, I will take away one of your organs after every ten minutes. You can avoid the trial, and die peacefully."

Yang Dao raised his eyebrows, he was surprised by the cruelty of this trial but it did not matter to him much. He closed his eyes and sat down on the levitating board with his legs crossed and eyes closed. 

The old man nodded patiently and then started to wait for the time duration of thirty minutes to pass. He was a sadist, looking forward to seeing Yang Dao panic when he tells him how he killed a member of his crew. 

However, his wish was not completely fulfilled. The thirty minutes time duration expired and he did kill a guy in the crew, making the rest panic to the point of rushing back to Liro. However, Yang Dao sat there like a stone immersed in his own world of comprehension. 

Atsuji Kurogame clicked his tongue in disappointment. He really wanted to see this boy wither in front of him, suddenly he sensed something radiating from Yang Dao.. This made him shocked.
