Di Family forces! Compared to the Li's forces tense atmosphere, Di forces had quite a pleasant time. The guards of Di Family quietly talked between themselves and the disciples of Di School gossiped about recent events in their school. How young miss of Di Family has invited the commonor to lunch became number one talk...
'I wonder what's so special about this Xue Ren...'
That was the main question in everyone disciple's heart! Some wanted to beat him, some to even kill! But they were his seniors, thus, at best they could only torture him in a spar a little... The young man leading this group smiled. He felt that true camaraderie is true strength! His name was Di Shui, the older brother of Di Xun as well as the next head of Di Family. He was twenty-one years old!
He himself felt curious about Xue Ren. His sister who has never showed any interest in men took initiative to invite... Anyway, it was time to focus. The skirmishes between various powers already had began...
Bzzzz! The lightning goddess danced through the battlefield! Her every movement was filled with grace and powerful lightning. For Di Xun such skirmishes could only be called as 'warm up' and so for Xue Ren. The young man has limited himself to normal techniques as he fought the wandering masters. Some of them were strong, but Xue Ren had simple question...
'Why?' Why do these people risk their lives like that? Those people have chosen the freedom yet in this place without any thought, they tried to attack him and Di Xun sneakily...
"The man main desires are power, wealth and women..." Endrun interrupted his thoughts. Holding a cup of wine, he moved his eyes to the doors that only Xue Ren could open...
"You know, it's said that everyone has those Divine Gates. That every living being can reach them, but people have long ago gave up on such act. Only those with potential above average can try their best to reach Divine Gates... And if they reach those gates, they can choose their destiny to embark on their rising. Women are linked to this. Ravishing and strong beauty, not only mean one's status, but power and future as well..."
"Future?"
"Powerful woman will give birth to powerful child... And if you have no power, you can't keep her close to you, right?"
"..."
"But I didn't say this, because of those wanderers. Ren, your Black Tigress is definitely from higher world. Do you really have to waste time by thinking about random people? If by money you could get everything in your Zero World, then in these worlds, you can get everything by killing! I want you to think about this."
"...Looks like my road is inevitable."
Di Xun who has ended another life turned around to look at Xue Ren who was looking at his hand dyed with blood. Because of his mask, his face was quite ugly. However, the eyes has stayed the same. After a while, he narrowed his eyes and they shined with a new light. It was as if Xue Ren has decided on something important. The young miss found out that she couldn't take off her gaze from those eyes... Soon, another wandered suddenly attacked. Di Xun immediately released lightning to attack, but surprisingly Xue Ren moved! He waved his hand and the earth responded! The earth spikes surrounded the man and after a second, moved forward to pierce him! As they went forward, the fire appeared out of nowhere around them as it coiled. The man opened his eyes in surprise. His attack was aimed at Xue Ren who looked like he was in deep thought! His body got pierced by earth spikes, but even though the fire touched him, it didn't do any damage. Soon, the fire moved towards his chest as it went inside deeply, but the man couldn't feel it, because he already got beheaded by one of the earth spikes. The fire coiled around the heart, then after a while, by itself took out the man's heart. However, his heart was already crystallized... The fire threw a heart to Xue Ren as it disappeared. Taking the heart, the young man declared...
"From now on, I will kill anyone who dares to kill us..."
Di Xun who was already looking at him with daze wanted to know if she was included. Inwardly, The vampire praised his control over magic! To use fire to crystallize, one needed a strong energy control! Truly Divine!
Xue Ren ever since arriving here couldn't truly understand if killing was his only option... If he didn't have the memories from his past life that pushed him to kill, then maybe he wouldn't truly kill anyone. No matter how mad he was. But today, he has understood that he has to adapt. Not only by relying on memories from the past life, but by himself as well. There is no more indecision! If others want to use him for benefits, then he will use them as well.
The young earthling turned his gaze to the young miss, Di Xun. She was looking at him with daze, her face was quite funny. He approached her and took her hand. The truth is that he was avoiding contact with any woman ever since 'Devour' has awakened, including Di Xun. He didn't want to spar and was very careful near her. It was so obvious that Miss Di already knew that.
'Ah!' The young miss jumped out in surprise, but he still held her hand. There was no Divine energy or any strange desire. Xue Ren caressed her soft hand as he convinced himself inwardly.
'So that's how it is...'
"Umm, Xue Ren?" the young miss couldn't take this anymore as she asked in low voice. Xue Ren realizing that he went too far, took out the medicine out of nowhere as he said...
"I wanted to pass the medicine over to you, that's how it is! It will replenish your magical power!" fully embarrassed, he created a simple lie on the spur of the moment...
