"Next up, Azile Shiva. Come forward!"
My eyes landed on Azile, yet I saw his eyes also directly pointed at my position.
'Is he looking at me? Why would he when we didn't even have time to interact with one another? Right, that can't be. It must be someone he knew was currently on this part. Yeah, that must be.'
Looking around, I soon found the reason why Azile was looking on my side.
"Come on, Azile! Let them know that not all orphans were weaklings."
Shusi, who was by my side, came from the same orphanage as Azile. It is said that they have been with each other ever since birth. So it wasn't that weird if anyone saw them together.
Azile just gave a nod and soon proceeded.
"..."
Azile Shiva, the future heir of the Snow-Purple Snake Clan. A man of terror and disaster. If I am to describe him in a novel, then he is the strongest villain in this world. He is the definition of a ruthless man who could throw anyone by his side just to achieve what he wanted. He is the master of this body, which is one of many who was thrown to death. Well, not that I am planning to be his subordinate in this life. But he wore an uninterested look in his eyes. Even if he is a beautiful man, I just couldn't shake the feeling of fear when looking at his eyes. They are deeper than the abyss.
Awakening
It is a mysterious process that forms inside one's body.
And that, there are two types of awakening, and in Snow-Purple Snake clan was.
First, "Soak in blood" was believed that if you enter the pool of blood, your body will enter a rejuvenating process where you will feel like being born once again. It is a painful process as the energy of the blood pool will enter the pores of your skin, cleansing every inch of your vein, until your body can't take it anymore.
The second one was...
"Look, Azile came out!"
"Wait, who is that? Is that Azile?"
"Why is his body glowing in golden light?"
"So mesmerizing!"
Clan Leader, Muski Shiva "Oh, ancestor! You have heard my plea! This one is great for your never-ending support."
The body of a 15-year-old boy couldn't be seen anymore. What was in front of our eyes was a man, a real man who grew beautifully. Pure long white hair and eyes of golden colour with eye-catching eyebrows, strong body as if it was built painstakingly over years. As if a beautiful creation suddenly emerged in front of us. We become speechless at how great his appearance is.
More than that, on his manhood, was a monstrous rod that didn't fit a 15-year-old boy. Because of its showiness, the girls soon shouted in embarrassment. While boys become jealous of how great Azile is from head to toe. Having those looks, he remains uninterested.
Monstrous rod, huh?
I could only wipe my saliva which was already dripping in excitement. And continue to watch how Azile clothed back.
The golden light shines out, and a piece of star in golden colour appears on his forehead. Normally, the colour of the star would be bloody. But as he is like the first ancestor who has the same power, that star that appears is gold. The gold indicates the infinite energy he possessed and the heavenly looks he had came from the same physical trait of the first ancestor. Soon, the clan leader personally came to Azile's side.
"Oh, heaven's! This is a miracle! You-Azile Shiva. From now on, you will be thought personally by me." The clan leader said as he tried to touch Azile, but Azile, stepped a little back, as if saying, "Do not touch me!" with the glare he showed. The clan leader becomes dumbfounded as he lets out a cough.
"Fine, just stand still. Don't worry, I won't touch you! I was just going to see if you also acquire that power..."
Within a second, energy enveloped the body of the clan leader and soon formed something like a tentacle that was used as the source for the clan leader to look into the body of Azile.
"What are they doing? Why is it taking so long?"
"Oh, you don't know that? Well, let me explain...
A cultivator could sense others' energy from touching a part of their body. That is how they normally should be. But in some cases, they could also sense it from transporting some energy to the other cultivator without the need for touch. This is how clans identify how strong their opponents are in the midst of battle. But there is also a technique that could prevent others from learning your power, so learning that technique is a must."
"I see. That is why clan leader Muski was using his energy."
Soon, as we waited for the result in silence, The clan leader suddenly broke the silence. As he announced...
"Azile Shiva, Golden Star. Unmeasurable energy. Successfully awakened his core. And also possessed the technique of the first ancestor."
The elders felt a tingling of excitement and at the same time, their feet weakened from a feeling of fear.
The first ancestor was the strongest among the ancestors who were seated on the chair of the clan's head seat. He is the embodiment of beauty and power, the golden eye of predation. Not only his name was known throughout the northern land, but also on the beasts' continent.
'These eyes need to be hidden.'
'He could be the trump card of our Snow-Purpple Snake Clan.'
'He is our hope, so he needs to be protected at all caused. Speciality now that he holds tremendous energy that could throw other clans with a flick of a finger.'
"Core" on the other hand, was like an energy container inside one's body and also was the second half to become a complete awakened. At the starting point of cultivation, every fellow cultivator will be taught how to gather energy in their body. As energy pilled inside one's body, a mysterious coloured rock appeared and they called it core. Mostly, it will take more than a month or so, yet he awakened in a single go! That is the future leader of the Snow-Purple Snake Clan for you!
Clan Leader, Muski Shiva "This was needed for a quick meeting."
