The blind eye was the forbidden zone for One-eyed Dragon. Whoever mentioned it would be unlucky.
Upon hearing Shaksha’s curse, One-eyed Dragon didn’t say a word and directly pulled his index finger. He pressed the trigger and shot at Shaksha’s glabella!
Swoosh!
A black figure strangely appeared in the crowd. In the next second, Shaksha was carried by that person and flew into the sky. One-eyed Dragon’s bullet did not hit Shaksha but hit a burned tree trunk in the distance.
“Who is it?” One-eyed Dragon raised his head and looked into the sky. His vision was filled with looming darkness.
In the sky, a pair of massive black-feathered wings spread out completely, blocking the sun in the sky. The owner of the wings had a tall and lean figure. His black hair swayed without the slightest wind as if a god had descended.
One-eyed Dragon was stunned and his men were stunned. Even Shaksha’s team s
‘This young man has a strong contracted beast as her mystical pet? That is some pet she got there.’ Cielo stared carefully at the man’s surroundings to catch a glimpse of his pet, but Cielo could not see such a creature anywhere around him.Meanwhile, as Cielo was peering out the window at her, Qiao Ye was making his way down the street on horseback looking very annoyed. He was not unhappy because there were many people watching his every move from the sidelines.After all, he had always enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped by others. No, that was not it at all. Qiao Ye’s bad mood was the result of him being given a lecture by his grandfather before he left home this morning. He had told her there would be a young man with outstanding abilities participating in this year’s examination – something about hidden clans.He said that this mysterious person’s innate talent surpassed the levels possessed by ordinary pe
Cielo looked at the teacher who ran away like a rabbit and understood that this He Xiaosi did not have much of a relationship with his colleagues. These colleagues seem to be quite afraid of this He Xiaosi.Just as Cielo was thinking, Rito, in a form of a miniature black snake, who was in her arms stretched out its tail to scratch him. Cielo was startled, regained his senses, and suddenly rolled on the floor. A chilling light flashed past, a sword aura had already struck the place he was standing at earlier on.So dangerous!He had spaced out earlier on and did not pay attention to his surroundings. If it was not for Rito’s reminder, the consequences would have been unbearable.“Oh, your reaction is not bad.” A lazy but cool voice spoke lightly.After Cielo stood up, he coldly looked at the man who had appeared before him.He had a pair of bewitching eyes that were full of mystery, but an expressionless face. He was lean an
That’s it?Hee passed just like that? No one assessed by He Xiaosi had passed before, and today he decides to pass someone for such a flimsy reason? Cielo’s jaw dropped. She recalled how He Xiaosi had attacked her earlier on—his murderous aura, the destructive force of the suppression her set upon her. The ferocity and uncalled-for nature of He Xiaosi’s actions as an examiner could very well make someone without strong willpower decide to stop cultivating altogether. He Xiaosi was clearly not a good person. He had no scruples with behaving in such a dangerous manner at all. Had he never thought of the aftermath of his actions? Did he not have to consider the consequences if he happened to provoke a candidate with an illustrious background? What would happen then? What exactly was this man’s whole deal?What on earth did he have up his sleeve that he could act so pompous without care?Endless questions ran
“Master? No way! Why should I call you master? What is so amazing about your mask? Which part of it is good exactly? I could tell it was a mask as soon as I looked at it! The workmanship certainly isn’t as refined as you say it is. When you smiled, only the surface of your face seemed to move without any of the muscles supposedly lying below the skin moving along. It didn’t look natural at all. Heck, I can make masks that are a hundred times better than yours!”Once he regained his wits about himself, Cielo began to lecture He Xiaosi without holding back.‘Was this some kind of joke to him? He wants me to recognize him as a master? Please. What an odd personality he has. Moody and consumed by vanity to the point of death. Who would ever want to be a disciple of such a person? Why, just a short while earlier he even had the murderous intent to kill me and almost did!’ Cielo grumbled continuously at the back of his mind, not minding th
Tomorrow was the day they would enter the Trinity College. These young children were so excited that they found it difficult to sleep. Velcia and Cielo met up right after the second assessment. Now, all they had to do was to wait. They were not the only ones waiting to be guided where the ‘real’ Trinity College was located.Along the way, the youths formed cliques. Some set up a tent since the place was a vast meadow. While the others were setting up for a bonfire. It was a lively bunch of people, filled with vigor of a youth and full of hopes for their future.Cielo and Velicia sat not too far away from these group of youths. They did not want to join for they wanted to keep low profile as possible. But things were not as they hoped it would be, especially when one of them was dubbed as He Xiaosi’s student and the other was a woman in a wheelchair.The moment they sat down, they became the center of everyone’s attention. Though no one approached them, occasional glances followed by m
Just as the rollercoaster ride arrived, they went down and were met by another meadow. One particular student used his contracted beast as a mount, making the others follow suit. Except for Velicia, who was in a wheelchair, Cielo did not go down with a mount. After all, he intended to use Rito as a tramp card.Gazes of mockery followed Cielo and the handicapped Velicia, fully not knowing their backgrounds for their ordinary articles of clothing.“You can use the Vanquisher,” suggested Velicia.Nodding, Cielo unsheathed the Vanquisher.Under the amazed gaze of the crowd, Cielo stepped on the heavy sword and casually rose away from the ground. The cold glitter of the heavy sword continually rose with the sword, scattering a streak of silver light onto the green grass below.Cielo put his hands behind his back with a swagger. As he moved with the sword, his poise was like that of an immortal. All the onlookers were stunned.The group of youths that had been mocking Cielo for not having a
The crowd did not notice that figure riding so arrogantly in their midst. At the moment, every one of them was miserably thinking only of their destination—the sole thought of which caused their scalps to go numb.Cielo was the fastest. Standing upon that heavy sword, he was also the most agile of the bunch. After receiving instructions from the tutor, he had gone first and flew down the mountain upon which the border of the Trinity College was perched, gliding towards that green forest.The endless sea of trees spanned across the horizon, towering trunks spreading out thick leaf-covered branches overlapping each other to form a uniformly dense forest.This was an expansive forest, extending from the foot of Trinity College’s mountain all the way to the Valley of No Return in the distance. At this instant, the mountain range was bathed in a strange dark gleam under the sunlight, contrasting sharply with the jade-green forest. It was as if a hideous bloody wound had been carved out on
“I… I can’t go on… I need to rest.” One of the slightly weaker youths plopped down on the ground with a huff. Covered in dirt from head to toe, he had never been in such a wretched state his whole life.James and the other youth also stopped in their tracks. They were in not much better shape than the first youth.Cielo paused and looked at the three miserable persons. He smiled. “All right, let’s take a rest.”He understood now why the Trinity College arranged for such a battle simulation.At the end of the day, this bunch of so-called beast tamers and warriors was just a flock of immature spoilt brats. They had never met with real adversity before. If sent to the battlefield without undergoing extra training, they were sure to end up in the tummies of the demons and uncontracted beasts within a few days.Looking at each other’s sorry state, the three fools noted the contrast between themselves and Cielo’s fresh form. They were struck silent in that instant.Gurgle!James blushed red
After returning to his dormitory, Cielo immediately let Rito out as he calmed the chaotic energy within him. In the middle of the night, a strange dark figure silently swept across Trinity College.Cielo had only started his cultivation when there was suddenly a commotion heard from outside. He opened his eyes as there was a sudden knock on his room door.He stood up to open the door to see Jason standing outside the door with an extremely unpleasant look.“What’s wrong?” Cielo asked—an evident frown on his face.Jason looked at him with a grim look. “Something happened.”Something had happened at the department which is especially built for alchemists. In the continent, many could become a warrior and a beast tamers through sheer luck or perseverance, but to be an alchemist needed more than just that—it needed innate talent. Even though there were only a few alchemists in the school, the Trinity College was the next best equipped compared to the other schools in the Government League
Cielo placed the Night-Luminescent Pearl, given by Velicia, on the candlestick on the wall and used the dim light to examine the secret chamber. The secret chamber was very narrow, less than two meters in length and width, and less than three meters in height.There was only a round futon in the secret room. Cielo walked over to the mat and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he saw a faint blue light floating in the secret chamber.“What’s this?”‘Touch it.’ Rito answered in his mind in a sleepy tone; he liked the dense energy here.Cielo extended his finger and a strand of blue light coiled around his fingertip. When he sensed the energy’s fluctuation from the light, Cielo realized that it was the energy of someone with strength at least a Divine Tier and at most a God Tier.Cielo hurriedly stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed in gratitude toward the light. Only then did he sit cross-legged on the praying mat again to consume the energy as his own before he started the refining of t
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year.On the last day of the year, it snowed heavily at Trinity College. The weather was very cold, but in order to earn points, the students still had to brave the snowstorm to go to the back mountain to do misCielo stood on the balcony and looked up at the snow. Only then did he realize that it was the end of the year.Cielo suddenly thought of the time when he was young and spent the New Year with his little sister and mother while his father and his new son were happily dining at the clan’s main house. His mind wandered to his past life, making him shake his head immediately.Velicia had left the Trinity College a few days ago. She went out to do some work for the Aberon Clan and returned today. When she came back, she saw Cielo standing on the balcony of the dormitory while admiring the snow.Seeing that Cielo was only wearing a warm gray sweater and not a coat, Velicia frowned and said, “Cielo, come in quickly. It’s cold outside.”C
Three days after the Ranking Tournament, an incident wracked Trinity College. Apparently, Lexa suffered a lightning tribulation after forcibly absorbing a beast’s core in hopes to level up her tier. The result led to the current situation—her grandfather, the Patriarch of the Liam Clan, came knocking on Trinity College with a deep frown he could master.“How can you call yourself teachers and principal when you cannot even stop the tribulation from hurting my daughter? Expelling her is not enough! Now, you want to cripple her as well? Is this really the Trinity College?”Upon hearing this, Professor He Xiaosi laughed out of anger. “As warriors, who don’t rely on their own abilities to withstand Tribulation lightning?”Thinking of Gregor Liam’s dirty past, Professor He Xiaosi’s face revealed a hint of mockery. He said meaningfully, “Patriarch Gregor Liam, have you forgotten that the reason you were able to sit on the seat of the patriarch of the Liam Clan was due to the tribulation lig
Qiao Ye looked at Cielo in a daze. He lowered his head and cast his line of sight down to his own two hands that were still trembling slightly.He lost!He was defeated so thoroughly without a chance of turning the tides!“What is this? Cielo won?”The audience erupted. Words of disbelief and cheers for the victor collided. Those who were still dazed were the people who had mocked Cielo Regalia a few minutes ago. And those who were applauding were the silent spectators who were waiting and hoping for Cielo Regalia to rise amid adversity.Another student answered with a sneer. “Of course! Are you blind? Wasn’t it obvious enough?”“No, it’s just that I find it too hard to believe! Our Trinity College’s peerless genius has actually been defeated just like that.”“Cielo is the true peerless genius! That was too amazing! I have decided that he will be my idol from now on.”In the audience area facing the stage, there were currently a lot of discussions going around and voices were being ra
At present, Velicia’s pupils contracted and her fists clenched slightly. She was feeling very nervous as she watched Cielo battle onstage. As long as Cielo refused to use the full potential of God’s Eyes, everything was dangerous.‘What is your plan, Cielo?’ Velicia could only ask herself.James began to wail. “Oh no, Cielo! It’s too dangerous! It’s too dangerous!”Niel Klyn steadily kept his eyes on the duel without uttering a word.With a few quick pierce and slash of his sword, Cielo finally managed to make the Battle Wolf retreat.Although his exchange of blows with the Battle Wolf was brief, Cielo alone was the most aware of the danger they contained. If he had wielded his sword just a little slower or if his energy was just a tad weaker, he would have already lost at this moment.Cielo narrowed his eyes at the mark the whip left on the ground. If his steps had been just a second slower, would that whip have slashed her face instead of the ground? It seems as though Qiao Ye had d
The people in the audience had changed the direction of their thoughts a thousand times since the duel started, but the two individuals onstage dueling didn’t have such complicated thoughts. They were busy exchanging blows.The golden whip and the Vanquisher met mid-air and collided over and over. Now, the golden whip entangled itself around the Vanquisher. The ray of white light emitted from this prolonged contact was very dazzling.James, who was sitting next to Velicia, looked at the latter with sparkling eyes. “I know Cielo is strong, but I never knew that he has made this progress already!”Velicia puffed her chest and raised her chin. “This much is not yet Cielo’s true form. After all, he is yet to use any technique or skill. He is just merely gauging Qiao Ye’s pattern of attacks.”Amazed by the answer he got from Velicia, the three boys gaped in disbelief! Just how strong Cielo was?On the stage, Qiao Ye snorted and used his strength to pull back the golden whip in an attempt t
Despite this, many people were anticipating the duel between Qiao Ye and Cielo. Qiao Ye was a prominent figure in Lovo Region after all. He was known as a peerless genius and had always been put on a pedestal. He was the individual the students of Trinity College always looked up to—the number one in the rankings.Cielo himself was no lightweight. The moment he entered Trinity College, he was taken in by He Xiaosi as his disciple. Naturally, he also possessed her own extraordinariness. Thinking about it, his cultivation would definitely not be weak with him being one of the two rare Class S potential warriors.During a duel between two strong people, spectators always hoped to catch a glance of their exceptional elegance.Cielo did not tell James or Jason why he did this unexpected challenge. He did not plan to tell them that it was a moment of craziness that made him steal Velicia’s supposed challenge toward Qiao Ye. Maybe, just maybe, the anger in him exploded ever since he witnesse
Cielo stood in the air while the black-feathered wings on his back completely unfurled. For a moment, the entire sky above the arena was covered by those wings.Staring at the pair of wings on Cielo’s back, Hector praised Cielo. “What a lucky fellow, he actually obtained a pair of wings!”Shera’s gaze flickered. Although she didn’t say anything, her eyes were filled with envy.Cielo circulated all the spirit energy in his body. The feathers on his wings also started to tremble without any wind. The feathers fell one by one and floated beside Cielo.When the last feather fell, Cielo suddenly raised his arms and yelled the skill’s name. “Heart Piercing Arrows!”Under the effect of energy force, the thousands of feathers turned into sharp blades. The blades were like arrows that had been released from the bow while flying toward Niel Klyn’s scissor beast form.The scissors and the wind blade began to fight in the air, and it was hard to tell who was winning or losing.Niel Klyn had not s
