Caution

As I started absorbing, I felt the master's emotion, which was telling me that she was concerned about something. Since I didn't know what it was, I decided to ask after completing the refining process.

So I decided to focus on refining the pill as soon as possible.

After I finished refining, the injuries on my body started disappearing. Even the broken bones started healing, and just within a few minutes, my body was as good as new.

Then I asked the master.

"Master, while I was refining the pill, I felt that you were concern about something if you don't mind can you tell me what it was?"

-"So you felt it. Hmm, while you were refining the pill, I saw that the pill wasn't the thing it appeared to be. Therefore, I was hesitant about to stop you or not."

"It wasn't what it was supposed to be!!! What does that mean?"

-"It means that the pill had some kind of, weird impurity it was so that it would react to a certain kind of energy and will show another reaction."

"With other reaction, do you mean it will not heal or something like that?"

-"No, it will heal, but it will cause something else as well."

"What will it cause?"

-"I can't say that for certain. But I guess it will react some kind of weird energy and will cause another energy to be formed and that will only be visible to the person who will take the pill to sense it, or to the person who is trained to sense it. Lin Mo, be careful, I can't say for certain but something weird is going on here. It is not exactly what it looks like."

"I don't exactly get what you mean by that, but I will do that."

After that, I started cultivating again.

Three hours passed while I was cultivating. Then I heard the exam lady again.

-"Time for the final test is here. I want all 35 students gathered here."

After hearing that, all 35 students who passed the previous test gathered around the area where the lady was standing.

-"Now I will name each one of you one after another. The person whose name is called, I want him/her to come here and enter this circle beside me. It will transport to the forest, where the second test will begin. It will make sure that two students don't get transported near any other person. Is that clear with everyone?"

Hmm, so they are making sure that no students fight each other, in the beginning, and don't gang up on others. They are vigilant on this kind of thing. That's good, but I wonder what master was talking about.

After that lady, started transporting us to the forest. It just took 10 minutes to transport us all to the forest.

After all of us got transported to the forest. We heard the voice of the instructor again.

-"With this, the second test now begins. I want all of you to try your best not to get killed inside the forest. The exam will end two days from now. All the best for your test."

After that, I started roaming in the forest. As I spent a whole year inside the forest. I had a basic idea about how to survive there. So I started looking for a place to stay at night, a place where neither a beast nor a student could come easily. After searching for an hour, I was able to find a place that was good enough for me to stay at night.

After finding a place to stay. I started looking for food and water since my cultivation wasn't high enough to reach the stage where I could survive without food and water, such a thing happens somewhere in the Soul Temper stage.

For food, I thought beast meat would be nice, so I started looking for them. Finding beasts in this forest was not that tough. They were the only thing that was present inside the forest in abundance.

It took me around 2 hours to get enough food supply that could last for three days.

But the main problem was to find water in this forest. Since I didn't know, anything about the forest. And I doubted that students would lay a trap there to knock the person who would come there without precaution. Because that was the only place where many students would come since the forest is large, so they can't search for students in the forest, and the beasts are present here in abundance, so they don't have to move much, but for water, everything changes.

Since no one knows about the location of a river in the forest, they don't have a choice but to search for it by roaming around aimlessly, and when they find it, they will try to stop other students from passing the test.

This test is not as simple as it looks, but I will try my best.

After making up my mind, I started searching for water. After roaming around for hours, I was able to find a river.

Seeing the river in front of me, I got excited and started running towards it. As I expected, students were waiting for someone to make move to knock each other out.

I felt the presence of other students. I climbed a huge tree that was beside me and started locating everyone.

After locating every student, who was present in the area, I decided to leave the spot and follow the river upstream to its origin. The reason behind this decision was the height of the origin point. Since the river originated from a mountain, not many students would want to go there and the climbing mountain would be faster than waiting for someone to make mistake and get knocked out.

And so I left quietly without getting noticed by someone. After running for a couple of hours. I was able to reach the origin point of the river.

But I was not the only one present. There was someone else who was collecting water before me.

-"Careful, Lin Mo."

Master said.

Careful, from what?

From him? Why?

"What's the matter, master."

-"The person in front of you is not someone who is just collecting water watch carefully."

As I watched him, I saw him washing his body with water that he collected. And after washing the body with the pure colorless water was getting converted to light red.

-"Have you noticed? That person is washing blood, and that blood neither belongs to him nor it belongs to any beast.

And that's not all the killing intent he is emitting is not normal for someone in the Bone Temper stage. If he has such strong intent at this stage, that just means that he has killed hundreds of people up until now."

"That person is about the same age as me, but he has already killed hundreds of people at this age."

After hearing that at first I thought of taking my leave, but then a thought came to me.

How long will I run? This will not be the last time when I will have to face such a strong person, how long will I run and hide?
