Chereads / Martial Arts Journey / Chapter 6 - Cruel World

Chapter 6 - Cruel World

Just like what everyone feel after accomplishing something , Raven is now feeling happy and satisfied . He had not managed to relish such feeling in a long time as when he became a researcher, his task was to continue going through data all the time and embarrassingly, he has never managed to accomplish anything great in this field during his lifetime . But he gained many things too such as patience and sharp mind .

Using his sharp mind Raven came to a conclusion that his cultivation is much better than his peers at the same level because he has patiently gone through all the useful information inside the memories of the predecessor . From the books , Raven knew about the average size of inner world so he is of course feeling happy that his potential and talent is much better than others . He being a researcher, knows that his talent in comprehension of martial arts may be lesser than great individuals in this world as his old job had almost nothing to do with exercising his body much less practicing martial arts . Now his task is to use the extra time he gains from fast cultivation to practice martial skills and deepen his foundation . He knows that more data he has , it will be more useful when he faces some problems in future . The good thing is that maybe due to refining qi or whatever , his memory has been boosted too much and now is no different from photographic memory from dreams back on earth . He had wished too many times for such memory and now he can finally taste its efficiency. So Raven started reading books and with time his reading speed became faster and faster finally he could be seen only flipping through pages but his brain managed to record all the data extremely fast . This discovery is the best gift for an old researcher like Raven .

While reading books Raven did not forget to stabilize his cultivation foundation . It was written on the first page of basics of cultivation book given to every new disciple by the sect . This meant that this fact has much importance on Martial Path too . A careful person like Raven will never leave such important process alone . Finally after five hours of stabilizing his newly found cultivation Raven decided to explore outside as the sun has risen once again unknowingly. The point to be noted is that Raven actually used an more than what he used for cultivation to just stabilize his cultivation . This is actually a really good thing as it is mentioned in the book that the more time one carefully stabilized his cultivation after finishing a cultivation session especially after after breakthroughs , the more solid the foundation and this will bring benefits in future. Raven of course has no idea about so called benifits but still just five hours that he spent on reading as well as stabilizing his cultivation simultaneously were nothing to him who could read books continuously for days without sleep back on earth .

The aura which was leaking from Raven's body after he broke through has long since retracted so he opened the door and exited the small room while thinking of acquiring a good hone after he advances in sect ranks in future. Many facts have shown Raven that the sect is extremely rich so Raven will of course ask for some benefits which will probably cost the sect nothing .

After bathing and brushing his teeth , Raven went too see Crow as he is the only one Raven can call a friend or acquaintance. Everything inside the sect has to be bought by sect points like food , rent etc and money can be exchanged for sect points too . Take the 50 silvers which Raven gave to Crow as an example , they wont even bring Raven a single sect point as 100 silvers of money could be exchanged for one sect point . Even the rent for his shabby room costs Raven 5 sect points per month . The good thing is that sect gave 50 sect points to every new disciple for free so Raven has no problems for the time being .

When Raven arrived in the area where Crow lives , he saw a commotion as hundreds of outer disciples are surrounding something . Raven of course became curious and decided to ask a fellow disciple about the reason for commotion .

" Good friend, what is this commotion all about ? "

" ah.. you dont know ? sigh .. friend , I can see that you must be a new disciple from your face so let me warn you first . There are many gangs of outer disciples and they are in constant conflict with each other all the time . Deaths are not uncommon and the elders cannot care less about the business of ordinary disciples even their deaths. Look , this boy's name was Crow and he was murdered just because he refused to join Black Cat Gang when they offered him job of a chore boy . Of course he will refuse because the life of such chore boys is miserable. The gang members forcefully transfer their sect points and they are again forced to become a slave of the gang . Poor Crow unluckily encountered a disciple who has connections with an elder so he was killed without a second thought. Now friend, remember to be careful as it's in your best interests to just cultivate until you reach 7th or 8 th level as only then you can become a ranker in outer disciple board . Only then you can be free from such unfair treatment . "

Raven's mood right now could be said furious , extremely furious . Of course he has seen that his friend from just a few days ago has been murdered in broad daylight and the murderer cannot be punished by rules . Even on earth Raven has come across many such unfair events but now it is different as he is now on the path of strong and can get the revenge by himself . No bribes to police or court is necessary at all , just a good plan and kill the enemy . Now Raven has decided that he will exterminate the whole lineage of his enemy because Raven is not a saint and even an ant can cause some trouble to an elephant . Raven wont leave such loose ends in his journey because they can become an obstacle on his future path .

Raven did not show any such behaviour to the disciple that can connect him to crow because he wants to avoid future trouble . He thanked the disciple and decided to ask a good question that needs to be answered.

" Friend , mind telling me the name of the disciple who has connections with an elder ? I dont plan on dying soon so I will appreciate it if you can provide me with lifesaving information . "

" Of course it's not a secret anyway ! His name is Collin and he is a 3rd level cultivator! "

" Thanks a lot friend. " Raven glanced at the bloodied body of his only friend for one last time and went back to his room .

Collin has no idea that he has unknowingly awakened a monster who at first planned to train slowly but thanks to him broke through such mind shackles and decided to step on the path of a future outstanding individual .
