Last Lesson

"Are you sure master that I can survive outside?"

-"What are you afraid of?"

"No, it's just that I don't know how I will manage living there."

-"Don't worry about that. As long as you stay honest with yourself, there won't be any problem."

"If the master thinks so, then I guess it really will work out."

-"Now go to sleep, we have to leave early tomorrow."

"Yes, master."

After this, I went to sleep. I was quite worried that, how will I settle in the outside world since it was quite difficult for me to accept other people after what my family did to me.

While I was thinking about this suddenly I heard master saying something with a low voice

"Do you want to take revenge?"

-"I am not sure about that. Even though they did all the bad things to me but they did still raised me until now so I don't know whether it is right to kill them or not."

"It's your choice about taking revenge or not, but I have two requests from you in case you want to take revenge against your clan, will you fulfill it?"

-"If I can fulfill them, then I will try my best. But what are these requests that you speak of?"

"They are quite difficult, the first one is if you ever tried to take revenge against your clan just, make sure that your father die."

-"Make sure that father dies, why is it, master?"

"There are reasons due to which I also want to see him dead. But since all I have now is this soul, I am unable to do so."

-"What is the reason behind you and my father's enmity?"

"You don't have to concern yourself with that. And as for the second request, I want you to let the younger generations of your clan live. But remember, don't go out of your way to take revenge just for me. You don't have to do it if you don't want revenge yourself. Do you understand?"

-"Yes, master."

Master's requests are really difficult. For the first request, she is asking me to kill my father, and for the second request, she wants me to leave the younger generation alive. I still don't know if I can ever catch up to them and if I want to take revenge, they will do everything in their power to kill me, but in return, I can't kill anyone.

While having these thoughts, I went to sleep.

Suddenly I heard someone saying my name again and again. When I woke up, I saw it was already morning, and the person who was calling me was master.

Suddenly master said

-"It's about time we should head out."

"Yes, but which city are we going to?"

-"I heard that Arch city has a top-class sect. And if I remember correctly it admission exams always begin around this time. So we should head there."

"Then let us go."

Saying that I got prepared for leaving and left.

After five days of travel, we finally reached Arch city.

Arch city is one of the biggest cities in the nation, which has a three-star sect.

Sects are normally distinguished by the star, which differs from one to five. Sects with a high number of stars usually get more resources from the capital than the sect with a low number of stars.

In this nation, the biggest sect is of four-star which is located in the capital city where my brother and sister are studying right now.

-"Let's us fill up the admission form for the sect first."

Master said.

"Yes, master, as you command."

Taking the master's order, I went in the direction where the sect was located.

Outside the sect, an old man was sitting with some form that was kept on the table.

I approached the old man and asked him

"Excuse me, I wanted to fill up the admission form for the sect."

Hearing my words the old man, looked at me arrogantly and picked a form for me and said while handing it over to me

"Fill up this form exam will be in two days from now."

-"Thank you, senior."

After receiving the form, I went towards a restaurant that I saw while heading towards the sect.

After I entered the restaurant, I went towards a table and took a seat and then I asked,

"What now, master?

What should I do now?"

-"For the beginners, let us look for a house for you to stay."

"But master, I don't have much money with me. I only have 1,000 silver coins that I received a day before getting kicked out of the clan, from my father."

-"That will be enough, but you will have to take missions for covering up your food charges."

"Yes, master, I will do so."

-"So let's head outside."

After heading outside, the master told me to go to the city hall.

The city hall was the biggest building in the whole town. It was heavily guarded so that no one would dare to cause any trouble.

After entering the city hall, I saw a bulletin board with house requests.

I went there as selected, a house with a cost of 720 silver coins.

After selecting the house, I went towards the direction where the house was situated. House was located in the west part of the city. It had a single room with a bad. Even though it was a small room, it felt comfortable, I guess it is because I spent a whole year sleeping on hard rocks.

After reaching the house, the master said

-"Let us begin our last lesson."

"Master, by the last lesson, you mean that you will not teach me in the future?"

-"No, I will not teach you in the future anymore. The reason behind it is my soul is reaching its limit, I don't have much time at most a month, and if I teach you anything new, it will only be incomplete that is why I have decided not to teach you anything new in the future. Today will be the last time when I will teach you anything new."

"..."

Listening to the master's word, my eyes started filling with water, but I barely held it inside me.

-"So let us begin.

Listen, your knowledge is more than an expert in the soul realm but remember that doesn't ever become overconfident and always take the drops of sap.

As for the final lesson, I wanted to ask you, what do you think how many times the body, bones, and soul of a person may strengthen?"

"I think the answer to your question is 9 times each since body, bones and soul gets strengthen every time one cross a level in the Body Temper stage, the Bone Temper stage and the Soul Temper stage."

-"That is what people on this side think. But the truth is different, each of them may get strengthen up to 19 levels, and when one strengthens his body, bones, and soul to the 19th level, a new stage of cultivation appears.

As you know that after the Soul Temper stage next stage is Qi transformation, which is followed by the Qi bonding, but what you don't know is that after the Qi transformation stage next stage is divided into two paths one goes towards the Qi bonding while the other goes towards the Spirit formation stage.

The only reason people don't know about this stage is there aren't many people who have the strength to handle the pressure of that stage.

For entering into that stage, you will have to strengthen your body, bones, and soul at least up to 15th level."

"Isn't it difficult to boost the strength of these body parts up to that level since so many even genius people are not able to reach it?"

-"Hmph...People who cannot boost strength past level 10 are no genius. You will meet real genius on the other side of the world."

If these many strong people are not geniuses, then I wonder what a real genius is?
