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
