Ancestor's Treasure(1)

At this moment, the stalker was lying in the middle of the massive pit like a dying dog. He was bleeding from almost every part of his body and he also sustained internal damage since he was puking blood all over.

"Hehe! Weren't you just calling me trash?! Let me see who you are?", Jim said mockingly whilst walking towards the injured stalker who was emitting heavy killing intent.

" You better not get ahead of yourself! I can always let Grey beat you up!", seeing Jim approach him, the stalker warned with a voice filled with killing intent.

"Hahaha! So my guess was correct! You are one of Grey's scum servants.", Jim replied whilst laughing.

Even though he said he knew his stalker's identity, it wasn't true at all. He was just trying to trick his stalker to say or do something that will show that he was one of Grey's pawns or another person else.

However, he never imagined that his stalker would be this foolish. He mentioned the name of his hire immediately after he was beaten up!

After laughing for a while, Jim said to the stalker,

" Since I now know that you are a student who is somehow related to Grey, I want to see who you are beneath that clothing."

"Damn you!", his stalker replied. Seeing that Jim began to approach him, he started to panic.

" I will come back for you. This isn't over!", he said before he took two black pills, swallowed them and vanished into thin air!

"Hmmm... What did he do?! Drey do you know what those pills were?! ", Jim asked using the mind transmission technique he was taught.

" Those are called strengthening elemental pills. When taken in, or used, it provides a little boost of power for its user at the cause of the user's cultivation being degraded to a lower one. The more they are used the more the degrading will also be.", Drey explained in a detailed manner.

"There is something like that?!", hearing Drey was greatly frightened.

" Of course!", Drey replied.

"Hmm, it's his own cup of tea", Jim said as he proceeded toward his grandparent's home. On the way was on high alert. He didn't know if there was another person following him.

However, he got to his grandparent's house safely without any interference from another stalker.

*knock..knock...knock*

"Who is it?!", Jim's grandmother replied with a shout.

" Granny, it's me Jim", Jim replied outside the door.

"Okay, come in!", his grandmother's voice came from inside again.

After Jim got inside, he saw his grandfather sitting in a wooden chair whilst holding a scroll.

When his grandfather saw him, he stood up and said to Jim,

" Follow me!".

As they walked towards his grandfather's room, Jim asked,

"Grandpa, what do you want to show me?"

He was just too curious.

"Let me tell you a story,", however, his grandfather ignored him and said.

" There was once a normal hunter during the ancient era. This hunter wasn't too strong or too powerful. He was just a normal hunter with a very good heart. He was extremely kind-hearted and was known for his hospitality."

"One day, he went hunting for some game. However, he didn't get food even after hunting for the whole day. Dejected, he made his way back home. However, on his way home, he met a person. That person was covered in bruises and was very weak."

"He took the person home and treated his wounds. Remember, this happened around the ancient era when humans were still fighting demon beasts to gain footing. His treatment lasted for days, then months, then years. After two years the person who the hunter treated, recovered totally. He got ready to depart to where he came from"

"However, he remembered the favour that he owed the hunter. He gave the hunter a long, broad sword which was engraved with strange markings. He also gave the hunter another thing. It was a long chain also engraved in the same strange markings. After that he told the hunter to give it to any of his family members who had the lightning element. He then departed. However, since the hunter couldn't use the elements, he kept it so that he could give it to his children. However, the was another problem. None of his children had the lightning element. And those who wanted to falsely use it all died horrible deaths."

"So the hunter ordered his family to pass down the treasures to descendants till they get someone who had the lightning element. That person will be the chosen one. However, so many eras passed and none of his successive generation and descendants got the lightning element..."

"Grandpa, can it be that what you want to show me is related to the story?!", Jim asked.

He was no fool. As long as one taught about it they will know there must be some relationship between them. Moreover, his grandfather wont just tell him a story at this moment for nothing.

" Yes, it is deeply related. In fact, the kind-hearted hunter is our family's ancestor. And since you have the lightning element, I want to see if you will be the person our family ancestor talked about." His grandfather said with a smile on his face.

"What?!" Jim was shocked.

Totally shocked.

At this moment, Jim's face was as wonderous as it could get.

His face was filled with emotions like surprise, shock and bewilderment.

He didn't know what to do.
