Death… And Me

3019  What Kind?

Laica's group finally put the beads back into their Spatial Rings. Indeed, Rean simply had no need for them. They couldn't think about anyone capable of doing what Rean just did. Even if Rean was somehow attacked by many enemies at once, he would still easily escape if necessary. He was too damn fast!

"Al-Alright," Laica spoke, feeling a little scared. Good thing Rean was a fellow disciple of the same master. "I will keep the bead and leave you alone."

Tubutu and Lesyu also agreed. "Since that's the case, we will leave too. Thank you for the Thunder Fire Beads. They will help us fight for the Algae in the pond." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Oh, about that," Rean raised his hand. "You can go and try to get some. However, master also wanted me to get them, so I will be entering the pond to collect some. If you want, you can simply focus on using the pond itself and leave the rest to me."

Laica quickly shook her head. "Master gave us a mission. Even if you are this impressive, we can't ignore it. Master definitely would hate to hear we gave up the task he gave us just because of your strength."

Tubutu agreed with her. "She is right. Master Kuslau obviously knows about your strength, but he still told us to get the Algae. That's obviously a test we can't fail."

Rean scratched the back of his head. The truth was that Kuslau didn't know about his strength at all... but he couldn't say that to those three. Above all, he couldn't say it out loud. The format protecting the Spiritual Canyon... could also display everything that was happening inside. "Very well. I'm sure Master Ksulau will be happy to hear that."

Finally, Laica, Lesyu, and Tubutu decided to leave. "Then we will meet again at the pond." The three didn't waste time and departed in a different direction right after.

With that over, Rean spoke to himself. "Sigh... Master Kuslau even told me to not show much of my strength... He trained me so much so I could achieve this level. Yet, I already went out fucked everything. I hope Master won't be too angry that I couldn't hide for long."

Inside, Rean was laughing out loud. Since he knew he was being watched through the formation, no doubt the elders outside heard his words. That could be said to be his own way to get back to Kuslau's previous actions while being able to 'pretend' he didn't know he was being watched.

Outside, everyone once again looked at Ksulau, their eyes shining with respect. That wasn't just talent alone. It was definitely some kind of extremely rigorous training to bring Rean to such a level. They know Kuslau also has a Levle Four Sword Intent, so Rean having a Sword Intent at Level Four made even more sense.

"Kuslau," the president of the Galapadien organization, who was fiding the task of watching the formation boring until a moment ago, had to come forward. "Congratulations in finding such an amazing disciple. No wonder you sent him into the Cleansing Pond. His foundation seemed somewhat unstable, and I can only imagine what kind of hell he had to go through to get to that level. The Cleansing Pond will eliminate all the hidden dangers from it. Still..."

He patted Kuslau's shoulder. "How about you share a little of your knowledge? Just being a genius isn't enough. You must have done something very special to bring the best out of him. I'll be honest; I think he is compared to the geniuses in the Werdlem Empire Inquisitors Training Headquarters. That's your aim, right? You intend to send him there."

Kuslau felt a headache. Training? What training? He knew nothing about any training whatsoever! He didn't even know Rean was so strong, even with his much lower cultivation. Otherwise, why would he bother to give Rean the Thunder Fire Beads? He only gave Rean those things because he thought Rean could really die... which seemed quite an idiotic choice now. Just what could kill Rean inside the Spiritual Canyon? Nothing! That was the answer.

"Errr..." Kuslau's brain worked nonstop, trying to come up with an excuse. Finally, he remembered his Master, Dancio. "In fact, this is more to do with my own master. I helped a little, but any specifics, you will have to ask him. Sorry to disappoint you all, people." Yeap, Kuslau dumped everything on Dancio's shoulders.

"Dancio, uh?" Fausto narrowed his eyes. Dancio was also a Transition Realm expert. Getting information from him would be much harder. "So be it. I will have that boy speak sooner or later." Although Dancio was a Transition Realm expert, he was much younger than Fausto, so calling him boy wasn't really wrong.

Back in the Gondel Clan, Dancio felt a chill on his back. He quickly looked around and spread his Spiritual Sense. Yet, he couldn't find anything. 'What was it just now...'

Back in the Spiritual Canyon, Rean made his way through the openings, following the map on his CD. There were many routes that brought one to the Cleansing Pond, and it was always an incognita, which one was the best due to the ten years the Spiritual Canyon was closed. You never knew which one would have more or less Demon Beasts or cultivators.

*Roar!*

It didn't take long one of the Demon beasts to notice Rean. They were Stage Three and Four Trantudas, a species of Demon Insect that lived in places with low light. They weren't exactly strong, but they always attacked in big groups, so most cultivators would immediately turn around and find another route if they bumped into them.

'Death Style, Reversive Arcs!'

Rean's Black Star appeared again. It danced in all directions, creating countless Black and White threads. None of the Trantudas could make it past Rean's defense. Even worse, when they got in contact with the Dark Element of the threads, the elements entered their bodies and corroded them from the inside.

The Trantudas fell one after another. They didn't die; they only felt incredible pain. Nonetheless, it was enough for them to get out of Rean's way. When enough of them fell, the rest understood they shouldn't approach Rean, and the path ahead was open. Rean just smiled and continued to fly leisurely.

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
