Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King - Chapter 188

Once they started appearing in their rooms one after the other, with Xiao Lin appearing at his, he simply opened the door and went in to check out the room that they gave him.

Then after looking around for sometime, he arrived at a fact that the room was good, well-ventilated and was spacious. He then laid in his bed and prepared himself for tomorrow’s activity.

Not long, he suddenly heard a loud chime ring out from somewhere in the sect with a loud, booming voice immediately accompanying it, saying “All fresh disciples should find their way to the Assembly Hall now”

Once Xiao Lin heard that, he shook his head and said, “What now?”

He then quickly stood to his feet and hurried to where the booming voice that rang out a moment ago ordered them to go.

But since he didn’t know the way to the place, he asked old disciples that he came across for directions to the Assembly Hall mentioned by that voice that unexpectedly boomed out seconds ago.

…

Not long after asking for directions from the old students that he met, he arrived before the Assembly Hall and went in.

And like it name implied, the Assembly Hall was simply a hall for gathering in massive numbers, as it was really large in size within, thereby giving the feeling that it could easily contain up to thirty thousand people at once with lots of spaces between each of them.

Once all the fresh disciples had gathered in the hall, an elder who stood with many other elders on an elevated stony platform, walked forward to address them.

He started, “As you can all see, all the elders for the departments in the sect have gathered here. Now, what we want you lads to do for us is to pick a department that you feel will be most suitable for you. And, I will advise to think carefully about them, because once you make your choice and you return to me that you want you want a change of department, I will ignore your request. So, after the elders have each told you lads about the different departments that they individually supervise, you should take your time to ruminate on them before making your choices. I beg you, don’t make ghastly ones, or if you come to begging for a switch of department, I will deny you.”

Once the elder said that, he looked at the other elders behind him and said, “Alright elders, please carry on.”

The elders nodded their heads and began to come forward one after the other to mention the department that they each supervised, and then the amazing benefits that would be obtained if they chose their department for studies related to cultivation and battle prowess honing.

Furthermore, since the elders would also get benefits from the sect itself, depending on the numbers of disciples that they were able to persuade to come join their departments, they put in more efforts at convincing the students when they mentioned the department that they were from and what they do there.

When the last elder finished explaining what they do in his department and the benefits that will be obtained if they chose there to study for their cultivation and battle prowess developments, he went back to join the other elders standing in line and awaited the instructions of the Grand Elder, who also called the First Elder to the disciples gathered before the massive stony platform that they stood on.

“Alright disciples, you have heard it all” The First Elder came out and said.

He then said further, “So, I want each of you to go back to your rooms and think of the various departments that you were informed about before making your choices on which particular department that you want to become a part of”

And once he said that, he said with a stern expression in his face, “Alright. You can go back to your rooms. And remember, make good choices, or you will see me as a bad elder in the future”

“Yes, elder” All the disciples said at the same time and began to walk to their rooms.

However, before Xiao Lin who had turned around could take any step to leave where he was, he suddenly heard the voice of the First Elder saying, “Devil Fang, do wait behind. I and the elders want to discuss something paramount with you.”

Once Xiao Lin heard that, his heart jumped. But he immediately calmed it back in that same moment.

He then turned around and walked closer to the platform since he was a bit far away from it because of where he stood upon entering the Assembly Hall.

When everyone heard what the First Elder said, they became intensely surprised. However, since it was none of their business, they killed off their varying degrees of curiosity about it and made way to their rooms. And as they did so, they began to talk at length with one another concerning the different departments that were introduced and highly elaborated to them in calm, persuasive and dignified tones.

As for Zhao Yu and Tian Xi, they became slightly worried when they heard what the elder said. Then they began to rapidly think within themselves if Xiao Lin had done something wrong or terrible.

But after thinking for a while as they both headed towards the large bronze door of the Assembly Hall to come out of it, they came to a definite thought that Xiao Lin had done nothing wrong, since someone who was just inducted into the sect as a true disciple yesterday, wouldn’t have the time to do anything of horrendous levels so quickly.

Xiao Lin who had appeared before the elders, entered a deep bowing position for sometime and then straightened himself back up some moments later.

A second after Xiao Lin came out from his bowing position, the First Elder said to him, “Devil Fang, do not be needlessly scared. I only called you back because I and the other elders want to ask you a few questions, which we want you to be sincerely truthful about. Would you do that for us?”

“Yes, elder” Xiao Lin said with a respectful nod of his head.

“Good!” The first elder said.

He then spoke further, “Now, my first question goes thus; how were you able to cultivate two energies at once?”

“It’s all due to my phenomenal Animal Spirit, elder.” Xiao Lin calmly said.

He then spoke further with an incomparably great calmness in his tone, as he had long been expecting this question from the elders which he had cooked an excellent, truth-sounding lie for, “Actually, on the day that I summoned it, frenzied streams of it immense Spiritual Power violently rushed from it into my body and began to course about within my body, ravaging basically everything that it came across.”

“Then when my parent who were also powerful cultivators found out about what was happening to me the instant that my Animal Spirit appeared and shot into my body, they immediately passed their Spiritual Powers into my body which was now looking pale to help me expel the slivers of my beast Spiritual Power which had made it way into my body.”

“Then after a really long struggle which lasted for days, the evasive, pervading power from my beast was completely flushed out, but with the help of so many kind cultivators who came around to watch the Spirit Summoning Ritual.”

“However, great, irreversible damages had already been done to my body. My skin tone permanently changed to make me look like a walking, animated corpse, as it turned me from being fair-complexioned to pale-looking. Also, many of my delicate organs turned into shreds, almost making me lose my precious life then.”

“Then worst of it all, something that could stand on equal footing with something as great and marvelous as life for cultivators, which was my dantian, had been badly punctured at several places and covered in so many cracks, thereby disabling me from being able to store Spiritual Energy in it and so, killing my great dream to become a powerful cultivator that will stand at the apex in the distant future.” Xiao Lin said with a seemingly truthful, false reminiscent gaze in his eyes.

He then looked at the elders and continued with an intensely sad look appearing in his face, “My father and mother who went out to search and source for rare, legendary and transcendental items that could possibly help me to cultivate again, even it was only to a particular low-rank level, unfortunately lost their beautiful and bright lives in doing so for me.”

“And so, I was all alone, growing up in the street as a useless and disabled young boy that even the weakest human pounced on and constantly beat blue black over amazingly silly things.”

“Then when I made up mind to kill myself since there was nothing left for me in this world, as I was basically useless and disabled, and my parent who will comfort me always had died because of me, I decided to take my life. And so, I climbed to the top of a particular mountain since I was highly determined to take my own life and go join my parent wherever they were. Then I jumped down from there to my death.. But before I could impact the ground and turn into mist of blood, something shocking and miraculous unexpectedly happened.”
