Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy, Nuoding City.
It was already night by this point. The sky was very cloudy, most likely to rain. The breeze was cold, as only the sound of blowing winds could be heard in the practice field of Nuoding academy.
Suddenly, a dark blue spatial rift appeared at the practice grounds. A very good looking white haired boy, who looked to be around seven or eight years old, stepped out from the spatial rift.
There was a bracelet made of blue silver grass around one of boy's wrist.
This dashing young boy is Rayne, and the blue silver grass bracelet is the concealed state of Ah Yin.
As soon as he stepped out of the spatial rift, Ah Yin's voice came to his mind through the use to spiritual communication.
"My lord, are you going to take action against the thief that stole my son's body?"
Ah Yin asked, the expectations in her tone couldn't be hidden.
Despite Rayne's previous statements about Asura God, Ah Yin still wished that Tang San could be killed as soon as possible.
As a mother, she wished to bring true rest to her son's body as soon as possible. Every second Tang San lived, makes her feel guilty and sorrowful towards her dead son.
Because she knows that…
Despite Tang Hao's conspiracy and interference from higher forces… Ultimately, she also played a huge role in her son's death.
If she hadn't been too stupid and naïve to not realize the obvious abnormalities of Tang Hao… especially during the time of her pregnancy, she was fooled by Tang Hao to visit major cities that were under the watch of Spirit Hall.
If she had resolutely hid herself in some low-key places, and not foolishly even almost forget her identity as a soul beast… Her son most likely, or definitely, would have been born safely.
Hearing Ah Yin's question and the intent in her tone, Rayne smiled helplessly.
"Have some patience, Ah Yin. There is no point in killing Tang San right now. Just wait for a few years."
"…" Ah Yin stayed silent. She knew that she was being unnecessarily hasty. But she couldn't help but feel frustrated at her powerlessness.
'I can't even avenge my child! I'm a failure of a mother!'
Ah Yin thought, then she became even more depressed.
'No! Not just a failure as a mother! Now that I look back, just what have I been doing so far?! I selfishly transformed into a human to satisfy my curiosity, disregarding my responsibilities as the emperor of my race! After that, it's been mistakes after mistakes. I'm a complete failure!'
Rayne felt the negative emotions from Ah Yin and was speechless. He thought she would come out of her depression after he asked her to join him in a great ambition.
But who would've thought, she is still in a depressed state.
Rayne used his spiritual power to help stabilize her messed up emotions.
Finally, he said.
"Ah Yin… if it makes you feel any better, I'm about to extract the blue silver empress bloodline from Tang San, completely cutting of any possibility of his martial soul's second awakening."
Ah Yin had an obvious reaction after hearing Rayne's words.
"That's right! Thank you, my lord! That thief shouldn't be allowed to benefit from my bloodline!" Ah Yin said, her tone was quite excited.
Rayne: "As long as you like it."
At this time, a system notification was heard in his mind.
[Ding! An elite quest has been triggered!]
[Quest: Ah Yin's Request.
Ah Yin, the blue silver empress, feels very upset at your rejection of directly killing Tang San as soon as possible. But because of your persuasion, she temporarily settled with taking away the blue silver empress bloodline within Tang San.
Task: (1) Deal with the Asura God's Divine Energy within Tang San. (2) Deprive Tang San of the Blue Silver Empress bloodline.
Rewards: (1) 'Gojo Satoru' will be set as one of your past lives. (2) Elementary Soul Ring Enhancement Bead x5.
Penalty: None.]
"…"
Rayne was speechless at the quest trigger rate when a major plot character is involved. At the same time, he is quite surprised by the rewards, or to be exact, one of the rewards.
He was in a dilemma as to how to deal with certain problems that will arise after the group chat is activated.
For example, if someone notices many similarities of his abilities with that of the character Gojo Satoru. He can't just say it's due to system.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the work of Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't exist in that world. But, what if?
Rayne has no intention of revealing his system to absolutely anyone. This is is biggest secret, and the cause and effect that comes with the system is most likely beyond his imagination.
So, this seemingly useless reward is quite valuable to Rayne, and takes care of one of his problems.
The second reward, the elementary soul ring enhancement bead is an item that can increase the age of a soul ring by 500 years. It's a surprisingly simple reward, compared to the treasure-like rewards so far.
But there are five of them, so that's something.
Rayne changed his attention to Ah Yin after looking through the quest.
After calming down Ah Yin, Rayne moved towards the place where he sensed Tang San.
Surprisingly, Yu Xiaogang was also with Tang San at this moment.
The location seems to be Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
…
Teachers dormitories.
In the dormitory allocated to the gramdmaster Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San was seen sitting in front of a table, reading a pretty large book.
Yu Xiaogang was standing behind the seated Tang San, advising his disciple from time to time.
After some time…
"Well done, Xiao San. You're learning much faster than I expected! From tomorrow, we'll start with more advanced books."
Yu Xiaogang said to Tang San in a calm and indifferent tone. But his eyes showed the pride he felt in Tang San.
"Yes, teacher."
Tang San nodded respectfully.
Then, he inadvertently thought of Rayne. Tang San frowned as he thought of the strength and unknown defense technique displayed by Rayne at the cafeteria incident.
"Teacher." Tang San called out.
"What is it, Xiao San?" Yu Xiaogang looked over in inquiry.
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with a grim expression and asked, "Teacher, what was the ability that guy named Rayne used back then?"
"…"
Yu Xiaogang was silent. Thinking of everything that happened in the cafeteria a few days ago, Yu Xiaogang felt a terrible chill down his spine. The sight of Rayne's eyes still scares him.
But, remembering that his idol Tang Hao has personally taken action against Rayne, Yu Xiaogang smiled a bit cruelly, confusing Tang San next to him.
'Hmph! Since you don't want to be my disciple and have the possibility of joining the evil Spirit Hall. Then don't blame me for not showing mercy!' Yu Xiaogang thought with a hint of cruelty in his heart.
Then, he turned to look at his beloved disciple, Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang smiled and said.
"Xiao San, don't think about that rude boy. Since he is not willing to accept me as his teacher, there is no one in this world who can guide him properly. Even his twin martial souls will be ruined without my guidance." Yu Xiaogang said in a determined tone.
Of course, Yu Xiaogang said that Rayne will achieve nothing because, he is certain that Tang Hao will kill him.
Hearing his teacher's words, Tang San had an expression of enlightenment.
"So that guy really is a twin martial soul owner just like me." Tang San muttered.
"Xiao San, you don't have to concern yourself with others. Under my guidance, you'll definitely be able to become a powerful Titled Douluo! Just believe me, your teacher!"
Yu Xiaogang put his hand on Tang San's head and gently caressed his hair. He looked at Tang San in the eyes and said in a confident tone.
Tang San was moved, at the same time felt convinced about his decision of worshiping Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.
…
What Yu Xiaogang and Tang San didn't know, or weren't even able to sense was that… a white haired blue eyes boy was floating in mid air, just next to the pair of master and disciple.
This white haired boy is Rayne!
Rayne was staring indifferently at Yu Xiaogang.
At the same time, Ah Yin heard Yu Xiaogang arrogant words about Rayne. She was infuriated at this man's arrogant words.
"This man!! A mere level 29 waste!! How dare he speak like that of the Lord?!" Ah Yin cursed angrily.
She felt very angry at this ignorant level 29 weak human looking down on her savior.
How dare he claim that he can guide the almighty God of Infinity?!
At the same time, she felt ridiculous about Yu Xiaogang's claim about training Tang San into a titled Douluo.
Twin martial souls and level 10 innate soul power! With talent like this, anyone can become titled douluo with proper training.
Becoming Titled Douluo is pretty much a given.
So, where is there a need for Yu Xiaogang? Soul rings?
Ah Yin saw Tang Hao's memories and knew what Tang San's first soul ring for his blue silver grass martial soul is.
A 400-year-old Datura Snake!
Ah Yin didn't know what was going on in Yu Xiaogang's head that, he had to select a poison type beast soul ring, which is not only incompatible, but also of the very opposite attribute of blue silver grass.
Is this the so-called grandmaster?
Who in their right mind would chose a poison attribute soul ring for their life attribute martial soul? Isn't this guy supposed to be a well informed scholar?
Anyway, Ah Yin has absolutely zero positive view on Yu Xiaogang. When she looked at him, only the word 'trash' appeared in her mind.
"Ignore him. It's just an ignorant trash. If you give him any excessive attention, even if it's a negative one, this guy will only take pride in it."
Rayne responded to her, but released his spiritual power to instantly knock out both Tang San and Yu Xiaogang.
At first, he was thinking of flaunting Tang Hao's corpse in front of Yu Xiaogang, and pretty much bury them both at the same day. But he changed his mind after hearing Yu Xiaogang's claim of his doom. Rayne has something far worse than just death, for Yu Xiaogang.
At the same time, his Chains of heaven had completely covered Yu Xiaogang's dormitory, sealing this place completely.
As soon as this was done and the spiritual attack struck at Tang San's spiritual sea…
A bloody aura suddenly erupted from Tang San's body! Suddenly, Tang San's eyes opened.
But his eyes were blood red, as he looked for the assaulter with the cold blood red eyes.
Ah Yin was terrified as she felt this bloody aura.
But, before he could say anything, 'Tang San' was choked on his neck by Rayne. The Kāma markings spread across his arm, as Rayne started to devour the bloody energy.
'Tang San' was shocked, at the same time, frightened as he saw the appearance and features of the one who attacked him.
Silver-white hair, vibrant blue eyes that give off a very dangerous vibe, and the mysterious and exotic marking spread across the right side of the body.
'Tang San' was frightened as he blurted out in a rather adult-like voice..
"Ou… Ouroboros?!"
