The outdated mans fingernails sliced by my pores and skin, revealing bones and muscle tissues beneath.

-Gasp-

Tendons snapped and arteries have been severed, blood spurting out.

[Are you okay?]

Im advantageous.

Whether or not sliced by a knife or in any other case, my physique rapidly healed itself.

Its the facility of the World Tree of Therapeutic and potions.

Im advantageous.

Sensitized by the outdated mans power, even the friction of pores and skin towards garments felt like pins being pushed into me.

Its bearable.

I felt extra alive now than when my thoughts was fading out and in.

The conclusion that I may die at any second.

The all-encompassing ache in some way made me smile.

Quite a bit has modified in a single day.

The outdated man, who had been quietly observing me, paused his torture to ask,

What did you utilize?

I had a nightmare.

Ha, it will be extra plausible to say {that a} tree did one thing.

I laughed off the outdated mans scoff.

Nonetheless

The outdated man, me as if I have been pitiful, additionally set free a hearty chortle.

I just like the look in your eyes.

-Flash-

The outdated mans fingernail swiftly tapped my cornea.

Id like to gouge out these eyes.

If it heals, go forward.

Did this man eat a tiger in a single day or one thing?

Disgusted, the outdated man withdrew his hand however didnt cease; he then plunged a blade into my thigh.

Ache was acquainted from the beginning.

I merely lacked a compelling purpose to chortle it off earlier than.

[Are you really okay?]

Truly, I favor this. I used to be simply apprehensive this is likely to be a dream and Id get up however feeling ache assures me that is actuality.

It shouldnt be a trigger for pleasure, but it was.

Regardless of the absurdity, involuntary laughter stored effervescent up.

Seeing my face, the outdated man diligently extracted the knife from my thigh with a glance of disgust.

Loopy man. I assumed Id simply take a peek inside, however youve fully misplaced it. Even the outdated free-spirited people werent as mad as you.

Arent you being a bit harsh?

Sufficient. Its a waste to do any extra. Eish, tsk tsk I by no means deliberate to take somebody who has given up on being human as my disciple.

In my eyes, youre hardly human both.

Dont discuss again.

-Bang!

The outdated mans fist smashed into my head.

My physique lurched ahead, and my brow slammed into the bottom.

However you is likely to be value elevating.

Thats lucky then.

Rubbing the bulging lump on the again of my head, I stood up.

My head throbbed from dropping an excessive amount of blood.

Ive bled out embarrassingly a lot.

The environment have been fully drenched in blood.

From the pores and skin to very important organs just like the lungs and liver, its pure.

I suffered each doable trauma one may endure in an hour.

Descend the mountain as we speak. Unwell slowly let you know the place to start out.

Are you taking me as your disciple?

The whole lot in its personal time, you wretched factor. When you dont wish to name my daughter your spouse, then shut up.

The outdated man packed the used poison daggers right into a bag he had introduced.

Taking you in would drive the others loopy in the event that they heard. Theres a martial arts contest developing.

A martial arts contest?

I’ll command the Dowon, however not everybody follows me.

Dowon was like a martial world created by the Peach Tree household.

A small world of martial artists.

Naturally, there have been different sects inside DoWon.

Youll have to get your arms soiled for some time.

Shouldnt every little thing be settled with only one command if youre the Cheonma?

Yikes. Why is it that younger people lack understanding? It looks like recently, theres an increase in these unworthy even for a chew, so I plan to have you ever handle them as an alternative.

Proper.

Cheondo murmured softly whereas fiddling along with her teacup.

With each phrase she uttered, the vibration of her vocal cords was felt by my chest.

I wish to know sometime. Since weve come to share the identical grasp.

Youll discover out, although it’d take some time.

Whats that? Get off me now, Im sizzling.

No.

Tch.

I slowly engraved the heat felt by my palm into my coronary heart.

Like animals remembering every others scent and contact.

It appeared to stabilize my distracted thoughts a bit.

I wont be right here for lengthy, anyway.

Would Cheondo keep in mind me after we meet once more sooner or later?

Eager about it, my physique and look have been fully completely different once I first met Cheondo.

I dont know. Anyway, altering the previous doesnt change the current.

I needed to handle every little thing I may whereas I used to be right here.

Even when I miss many individuals in actuality, I’ve to endure for now.

I continued to stroke Cheondos hair, exhaling a heat sigh.

My left hand was nonetheless trembling.

It doesnt make sense. Youve already chosen a successor, and now youre saying youll tackle one other disciple?

Sure.

Youre of age; specializing in coaching a single successor can be greater than sufficient.

Do you suppose my successor must be coddled like a new child to turn into robust?

Hongyeon frowned deeply on the outdated mans phrases.

Youre not attempting to play phrase video games now, are you? At your age. Are you in search of some sort of elixir of life at the moment?

Physique Reformation. She wasnt anticipating such legendary rejuvenation.

Nor was she in search of immortality elixirs like Emperor Qin.

The outdated man blew on the finger he had been cleansing his ear with.

Hongyeons forehead furrowed much more.

You silly lady. My successor is somebody who can do nicely even with out me.

How can I do know that with out seeing it with my very own eyes? You mentioned you wouldnt reveal your successor till your loss of life.

Its as a result of he has such expertise that I selected him as my successor. Do you suppose my foresight is that shallow?

Hongyeon swallowed her curse on the Heavenly Demons rebuke.

In Dowon, the Heavenly Demon was a residing legend and a deity.

Even when different sects have been watching with eager eyes, they needed to observe the Heavenly Demons phrases.

It may need been completely different up to now.

Within the historical martial world of China, there may need been those that took the Heavenly Demon evenly.

However within the present period, that martial world not existed. The age of righteousness and brotherhood was lengthy gone, and these days, folks even doubted whether or not such an period ever existed.

Alternatively, this place was a world created by and for the Heavenly Demon.

But, Hongyeon needed to communicate out, as she was liable for main after the Heavenly Demons passing.

Please concentrate on nurturing the successor,

Hes virtually a successor already.

What sort of nonsense are you spouting now?

Having two successors difficult issues.

When the successors id was revealed, if their followers break up, it may result in a struggle inside Dowon.

In any case, the present successor is rising nicely, isnt he? Even when the latecomer has sky-high expertise, can he actually surpass the present successor?

She thought she made an excellent level.

A smile fashioned on Hongyeons lips.

Hahaha, actually?

Nonetheless, the outdated man, the Heavenly Demon, simply confirmed a weird smile.

That senile laughter he confirmed when taking part in unusual tips!

Might or not it’s that issues have been going awry? Hongyeon shivered.

How about you combat him then?

Excuse me?

Arent you the chief? You won’t have risen purely by ability, however you possibly can deal with the riffraff.

That, all of the sudden a duel

When you win, Unwell rethink taking that monkey-like man as a disciple.

Rethink, as in the event that they have been negotiating.

Hongyeon bit her lip reluctantly.

With out the Heavenly Demons clear approval, taking part within the duel would convey her no profit.

However as a martial artist herself, its pure to be angered by any suggestion of incompetence. Being a follower of the Heavenly Demon, she couldnt stand her personal shame.

Lets do it. But when I win, you really want to rethink taking him as a disciple.

Hongyeons sharp gaze pierced the outdated man.

But, he simply stored smiling.
