"You three, I have something important to tell you." Elder Ren spoke to Yang Zhai, Si Kim, and Ai Hao.
All four of them were standing outside their classroom.
"What is it, elder?" Si Kim asked in return.
"We found out that there are already people of the Ma clan in our village waiting to strike."
"What do you mean by this?"
Ai Hao and Si Kim were still not experienced to know the real consequences of the competition. So, Ai Hao inquired about what elder Ren exactly meant by this. Even though Si Kim had already known that the competition had put their lives at risk, he didn't quite understand what elder Ren meant.
"It means that from now on, you three will be attacked many times. If you are lucky, you will only get attacked one or two times, but that is unlikely to happen."
"What?!!" Si Kim was shocked to hear that. It meant that their lives were at risk now.
"But don't worry, we have already deployed many elders to protect you all the time, but you still have to be careful. One more thing, here Yang Zhai, third elder Zihao De asked me to give it to you."
Elder Ren handed a Ka to Yang Zhai that was sealed in a sealing jade.
Come to think of it, I haven't checked the Ka that I had gotten from Si Yu by winning the bet: Yang Zhai suddenly remembered after looking at the sealing jade. He had gotten busy with other matters and could not check the Ka.
"It's an Earth-Skin Ka. What you have to do is to use it and your skin will become tough. As we saw in the previous round that you have a lot of strength, and this Ka would be helpful to you. It can be helpful for you to hold more strength." Elder Ren smiled.
"Thank you, elder."
"Let's return."
All four of them followed elder Ren back into the classroom.
"Everyone, listen carefully, the competition day between the Bai academy and the Si academy is coming closer. All of you have to train hard from now on. I heard that Hyun Hae of the Bai academy has already reached rank 3. And her brother, Lie Yi is also no joke. He is also strong." Elder Ren waited for Yang Zhai and the others to sit before giving the news.
The Bai clan kept its traditions even in wartimes, let alone now. It didn't matter if a competition between the Bai clan and the Ma clan was already going on. And it was important to hold the competition to see the results that every disciple could produce after spending so many months cultivating.
Of course, the rewards were also no jokes, at least, to the newly awakened cultivators. These rewards could always help them. And the rewards were not the same every year, they would change according to the highest rank disciple.
Hyun Hae was already rank 3, so the Bai clan would put rewards that could also be helpful to a rank 3 cultivator: otherwise, what was the meaning of Hyun Hae even competing in the competition?
The Bai clan would do that so that the highest rank cultivator could also benefit, and it would also motivate them to give their all.
Yang Zhai was sure of one thing, and that was that defeating Hyun Hae was not going to be easy: in fact, it could be said that there was no chance at all.
Even though he was already rank 3, Hyun Hae had a water physique and on top of that, her physique was top-notch. If he was not wrong, the Bai clan would have also given their all to help her with her cultivation as much as possible. After all, she was their strongest future prospect.
…..
It was already evening,
The sun was setting with a red and yellow tint displayed in the sky. It could be seen clearly, especially from the Si mountain. It was like a combination of fire and lava.
Nothing could imitate this natural phenomena, not even a picture. Yang Zhai also looked at this from his window. To him, beauty was still one of the elements that could make him lost in thoughts.
He was known as the blood demon in his previous life. He massacred so much that lands could be filled with only blood.
At one point, he had even started a task of creating a blood ocean for his use. But, could only create a wide lake before he was pursued by the righteous path. One of the reasons was that he wanted to create a beautiful ocean and the other was for his purpose, no doubt.
Yang Zhai took out a sealing jade from his pouch. He dismantled the sealing jade. This sealing jade was not the one with the Earth Skin Ka, but the one he had obtained when he won the bet.
Yang Zhai looked at the Ka.
"Oh, are they bribing me?" Yang Zhai was both impressed and stunned at the same time, he simply smiled and nothing.
The reason was simple, the Ka he obtained. This Ka had three abilities: it was able to manipulate blood to move anywhere, give that blood any form, and could insert the blood into any organism to control it by changing the blood or, simply, by modifying it.
One ability was to manipulate the blood of any being. Meaning, he could control that blood and move it anywhere he wanted. But manipulating did not mean he could do anything with it, not at all.
The second ability was to give the blood he was controlling any type of shape, meaning, he could turn the blood he was manipulating into a spear, sword, arrow, needles, and more.
The third ability was that it could modify the blood and then insert it into any organism to control it.
It was known as the Blood Demon Ka, a pure evil existence of the blood path. This was the reason that even Yang Zhai was stunned.
He had thought that the Bai clan would give him some kind of useless Ka, but everything was the exact opposite. This Ka was a top-notch rank 3 Ka of the blood path.
The Ma clan must have known that Yang Zhai would try to find out its use and would realize how useful it was, and then, the Ma clan could use this to promise him more benefits in the future just like this one. But first, they must have wanted to make him get used to and satisfied with this Ka. Otherwise, why would they give him such a useful Ka? Were they merciful and considerate? Or were they so happy at their loss that they gave him a gift?
However, there was a flaw or a disadvantage in using this Ka and that was that the more this Ka was used, the more its owner's blood would change and decrease in amount.
At first, it would only modify the blood and contaminate it, then with more intense usage, the blood of the owner would keep on decreasing. Therefore, he would have to use it carefully and then give this Blood Demon Ka a rest.
A Ka, which was as much value to him as the Bloody Storage Ka.
After every massacre or mass killings, he would be covered in blood, and when people saw him in this appearance many times, he came to be known as "The Blood Demon". It was not because of his expertise, after all, he was not a blood path cultivator to begin with.
