Fenix glanced at the disciples surrounding him, he had a light smile on his face as he waved.
"Oh...hi, I wasn't aware of your majestic presence." He said with a wide grin on his face.
Elder Lenti suddenly appeared from the distance, he had a light smile on his face as he spoke.
"Seems that even the gods are on your side. Anyways, I came to inform you that you are just in time for the Rank Advancement Trial. Through this trial, which as usual is through the killing array. You get to improve on your ranking, not only can you increase your rank and get more resources, but most importantly if you are able to become a heavenly abode disciple within just a month since you arrived. That's surely unprecedented, and the higher-ups seeing the potential this year's geniuses have continously showcased, the higher-ups have decided that any New-Cadet that's able to become a Heavenly Abode disciple through this month's rank advancement trial would be given the chance to use all mystic chambers without the need to...pay."
Fenix had a wide grin on his face, as he was determined to become a heavenly abode disciple. With such a treatment, he would surely be able to grow far stronger at a more terrifying rate.
"Alright, can we get going. We wouldn't want to arrive after the trial has ended, right?" Fenix questioned with a light smile on his face, as Elder Lenti shook his head with a light chuckle.
"It's indeed good to be courageous. But do you really think it would be that easy to become a heavenly abode disciple. You are really underestimating the higher ups if you think they would do something they wouldn't benefit from or something the Martial House won't benefit from. For them to be willing to give such a treatment...then your brain should really process the degree and mind blowing level of difficulty that such an advancement would be. Literally it's harder that ascending the Nine Heavens, and to me I just see it as being impossible.
Though they are the higher-ups and I am just a lowly elder. Therefore kiddo, let's get going."
Fenix had a narrowed brow, as indeed what Elder Lenti said did make sense. If he was the Academy he wouldn't just give away his resources for free.They had to show their worth to receive such a treatment that seems to good to be the truth.
"But it doesn't matter...isn't it to advance. When it comes to battle prowess...this young lord has never been afraid of anyone...well except for that monster." Fenix muttered, upon remembering about the monstrous Lin Feng, he couldn't help but shake his head as a light smile surfaced on his face.
"Eh...wait for me!" He yelled out, as he saw Elder Lenti rapidly dissapear into the distance. He didn't need to be told as he also hasten his footsteps. Immediately following Elder Lenti...
Leaving behind the shocked, awed and surprised seniors.
"Do the higher-ups really think they can acheive such a feat." One of them asked with a bright mocking smile on his face.
"Hmph... acheive my ass...I would eat poop if they can acheive such a feat." Another one replied with a condescending gaze....
And they weren't to be blamed anyways...even a low sixth tier genius might not be able to accomplish such a feat. But how could they know just how monstrous and most importantly determined to get stronger...this year's New-Cadets are.
Is it Lin Feng that was destined to get stronger even if he didn't want to, or Haven who would do anything to prove his worth to his father and change the way his soon to be kingdom revolves, or is it Denizen who is hell-bent on getting the bone-forging pill to save his mum or is it the devilish Fenix...who would do anything and everything in his power to become stronger. Even if he has to become the devil himself...
Yeah...they didn't know...that just haaad no idea...
No idea of that terrifying will that lays in slumber within each of this geniuses.
**************
Appearing at the true killing array chamber, one could see countless students, instructors, deacons and even the Heavenly Abode disciples have graced the Earthly Abode with their heavenly presence.
As for why they even bothered to come here...of course it was all because of rumors. Rumors that say none could compare with the New-Cadets in terms of talent, potential and perhaps willpower.
Amd if that wasn't a slap on their faces, then they didnt know what else could he regarded as a slap to their faces, they all had angry looks on their face well some of them had dissatisfied expression, condescending gaze while some where absolutely confident in their talents.
But for the higher-ups to slap them with such words...then it spoke volume of how monstrous this year's New-Cadets are...and indeed they are monstrous based on what they had heard about them...but to become a heavenly abode disciple in just one month.
You can as well just say you are the son of the king of hell.
They wouldn't believe it, and couldn't believe such a thing, it was simply absurdity...
Fenix arrived with Elder Lenti, he had a bright smile on his face as he entered the chamber after getting the array exiting stone from the elder in charge of the trial.
Standing on the circlic platform...he had a bright smile on his face as he suddenly dissapeared.
"Hmm...so he isn't dead. It doesn't matter anyways, I will just have to find another way to kill you." Someone muttered as the person also slowly made with towards the circlic platform...
"Oh...Haven. long time no see, I have high hopes for you in this trial. Don't fail me, and most importantly come back as an heavenly abode disciple." The elder muttered in a low voice, as Western Haven had a light smile on his face.
He gave a light bow, as he also got the stone and stepped on the circlic platform.
As if Fenix had been here to see such a scene...if he had known the person that had plotted against him. He would have found it shocking and most certainly would find it perplexing.
After all, Haven seemed like so much of a righteous guy. For him to create such a plot...then who even knew if his righteousness is nothing but a facade.
Or is it....
Seems that only the gods have an answer to that...well for now anyways.
And appearing right next was none other than, Lin Feng.
As soon as he appeared, words of hatred rang through out the entire chamber as they were forced down by an elder who released a terrifying pressure on the entire surrounding.
"Oh...so he's that narcissistic guy." One of the heavenly abode disciple asked an Earthly Abode disciple...after all, Lin Feng's truly... righteous deeds have spread far and wide.
Lin Feng had a wide grin on his face, as they all knew what was coming next.
"Sigh...although I also can't bare to leave you guys alone. I know you all love me, but as always. Greatness as called for me, and I have no choice but to separate from you...common folks. How I wish the gods could let me be with you commoners...but as they say. A god can't live amongst men... it's simple unacceptable, as it would do you guys more harm than good. So cry and release your tears, for by the dawn of tomorrow, you won't be seeing yours truly again."
Some had a wide smile on their faces as it suddenly changed to tears and cries.
"Aah...sniff...
"we will really miss yours truly. "
"We can't bare to part with you."
Various comments rang out, yet within their mind.
'To hell with you, who the hell will miss you...even my dog hates you.'
'Finally...finally. the gods have accepted my prayers. May you leave us in peace.'
'finally...finally.'
Tears of joy strimmed down the eyes of countless disciples, as they put on a sad facade. And as the heavenly abode disciple and the heavenly abode elders saw this scene, they couldn't help but he awed and surprised.
For one person to push so much people to such an extent. Truly a righteous fellow in deed.
If the earthly Abode disciples has heard such words, they would have replied with a set I'd word.
"Righteous my ass...even the devil isn't as wicked as he is."
But as they say, the ignorant aren't to be blamed.
But it doesn't matter anyways, they would soon be baring witness to his various...truly righteous acts.
Lin Feng had a bright smile on his face as he said out loud.
"Until we meet again..." And then, he suddenly dissapeared after stepping on the circlic platform.
********
Within a mysterious space, one could see a kid with dark abysmal pupils and long violet hair heaving violently, as before him stood the corpse of countless fourth stage beats, they probably numbered around 8. And he had completely decimated them....
As right outside, four of the columns had already lit up as they all had a shocked expression on their face.
It hadn't even been up to a minute...
And slowly...they all glanced at the rankings as their eyes scrolled for the change that had been made.
As they finally saw the monstrous advancement...
-Rank 50- Fenix...
The all had shocked expression on their face, not only had Fenix surpassed the 60th rank needed to become a heavenly abode disciple but he surpassed it with ten whole ranks. And one should know within the heavenly abode, each rank advancement was like a difference between heaven and Earth!!!
"Monster." That was the word that managed to escape their lips. As they finally reached a conclusion.
It could only mean one thing, despite being at the low level of the fourth stage, Fenix could fight an entirely level above him.
And this conclusion shocked them greatly...as there was only something that could make one acheive such a fearsome combat prowess. And it was none other than...Intent!!!
A kid suddenly appeared before them, as various bruises and wounds could be seen on his body, yet the shocking thing was the fact that this fearsome wounds were healing at a rapid speed.
Fenix had a wide grin on his face as he muttered.
"I did it..."
'Now he was one more step closer to enacting his revenge...'
He had a clenched finger, as blood dripped rapidly from his hand, and slowly his intense bloodlust showed sign of coagulating into something else entirely...something monstrous and fearsome...
Something known as...Killing Intent!!!
An intent widely feared and revered even amongst various intent...
