Are you worthy?

' big ass place.....for such weak ass people ' I shook my head with a small chuckle drawing weird looks from the duo beside me, causing my smile to stiffen slightly before I walked ahead towards the gate ignoring them.

I started looking around trying to sense if I could find Tang Hao or the little rabbit, neither of which could be found causing me to release a sigh of relief and one of disappointment. As I shook of those thoughts I heard someone shouting at me, coming from my thoughts I came face to face with a young guard staring at me with a frown

Squinting at him for a moment I had to suppress the irritation growing inside me from the tone of his voice, taking a deep breath I took out the proof from Spirit Hall only for my movement to stagnate as he snatched it out of hand

" where did this come from? it's obviously fake " he said as he crumpled it as he looked at me disdainfully as he looked me up and down. I followed his eyes and looked at myself, the clothes I wore, they were far from what you'd call noble but they were well taken care of considering I only wore them when I was in the village

Raising my hand I found him and Jack arguing and I caught Tang San from the corner of clenching his fist as his eyes narrowed dangerously but I caught the hesitant look on his face causing me to chuckle. Which then turned into full blown unrestrained laughter drawing the attention of the three

" this is why you humans are so sad " I murmured softly but it seemed Tang San heard some of what I said but right now I was to pissed to care. Turning my attention back to the guard I walked towards him, after each step the killing intent I accumulated over the pass year was released until I was right in front of him

" you know they're arrogant people in this world, I would know I'm one of them " as I spoke I grabbed him by the throat and raised him into the air, while ignoring his pale face " but without enough strength to back it up it's just ridiculous and it's asking for death. So give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you " I practically roared into his face

Spending everyday fighting for my life, getting stronger, getting smarter after every fight only for an arrogant pissant to look down on me.

How could I not want to rip off his head, as my patience started to run out my arm around his throat causing him to try to release his spirit rings to fight back causing me to look at him disdainfully

Just when I was about to end him I felt a arm rest on my shoulder, causing me to look around annoyedly only to come face to face with a thin middle aged man looking at me with 3 spirit rings in the air behind him

Squinting my eyes, I looked at him closely and tried to put a name to his face, I was awoken from my thoughts when he started to speak

" what happened here? " he asked putting his attention on Tang San and Jack, who was looking at me vigilantly while standing in front of the pale Jack who looked at me with unconcealed fear in his eyes

Taking a deep breath to try and calm himself, Jack raised his trembling arm and pointing towards Tang San

" I'm here to bring Tang San, blue silver grass, Innate Full Spirit Power a-and " he started stuttering as he turned towards me causing everyone to do it as well " and Gin Long, sliver dragon also innate full power. When we arrived the guard wouldn't let us in even though we should him the proof " When he finished he looked as if a large weight was off his shoulders

After listening to the story, who I assumed to be Yu Xiaogang turned towards Tang San after he mentioned that Jack could leave. When it was only us and the guard, he looked at Tang San with unconcealed excitement completely ignoring the struggling guard who was in my hand causing me to be speechless and my anger dissipated making my lip twitch

" would you like to worship me as your teacher " he asks Tang San not moving his eyes from his face

" you want to teach me spirit cultivation " asked Tang San not agreeing or disagreeing causing Yu Xiaogang to nod his head in a appreciation making me remember how similar this was with the original

" you're a clever child, you're probably wondering why I want you as a student? Well outside of your obvious talent and your intelligence, you're also the third twin spirit holder i've seen in the past 100 hundred years " after he finished speaking Tang San raised his wrist and looked at him vigilantly

Ignoring that crap for the time being I turned my attention back toward the nearly unconscious guard and I started to ponder

' devour is in my name but does that mean I can devour anything? I never tried anything other spirit power, could I devour someone's cultivation ? what about their strength? their vitality? lifespan maybe? What about concepts or laws? can I absorb the death of someone and bring them back to life? ' as I was lost in my thoughts I didn't find that everyone turned their attention to me

" what about you? would you like to worship me as teacher? " asked Yu Xiaogang breaking me out of my thoughts

"huh? did you say something? " I asked while being genuinely confused at what was happening and it seemed that he noticed as he repeated his question

" would you like to worship me as teacher? " he asked with less excitement than he had towards Tang San but it was still there making my face stiffen

" what are the benefits of doing that? " I asked calmly to see what he could with and if he could come up with other than his " knowledge "

" if I say that I'm the second most knowledgeable person regarding spirit cultivation and anything related, no one would dare say they're first " he replied confidently causing me to smile disdainfully

" is that it? knowledge? " I asked trying to stifle a laugh causing the smile on his face to gradually disappear

" what does that mean? " he asked clearly trying not to argue with a child

" don't get me wrong, you can achieve a lot with knowledge but without strength you can hardly make proper use of it. You can be the most knowledgeable person in the world but if you're confined to a bed what's to use? " I asked as a smile found it's way on to my face, before he could reply or try to make a retort I contuned

" You brag so much about your knowledge then what about your trashy ass cultivation? why don't you use that knowledge you're so proud of to find a solution? " I finally couldn't help it and broke down laughing but it couldn't hide the sarcasm that laced my words

" I have a question, is a master than I can surpass in a few years worthy to be my master? "
