Chapter 20:Taotie

But the awakener still kept his cool, because he had awakened a spiritual brand Surpassing Level A once before, then it was the young master of an ancient family, that young master had mythical beast type spiritual brand, a dragon to be precise, they spent almost 4 hours trying to awaken the young masters brand.

The awakener was feeling really happy in his mind but he didn't let it show at all, but deep down he was hoping the kid was just as talented as that young master or even more talented.

The reason he felt that wasn't because he liked midas or anything but because the first spiritual brand Surpassing Level A that he awakened want for the government and the ancient family that he awakened it for didn't pay him any extra fee, because according to them, the boy belonged to them anyway so why should they pay him extra for awakening his spiritual brand,and the federation didn't pay him anything anyway because the young master didn't belong to the federation, the relationship between the federation and those ancient families weren't as good as people thought, the ancient families were even independent in planet Venus to an extent

That was one of the reasons this awakener started working for the federation,because he was sure that at least the federation would give him all his special renumeration, the federation had a reputation to keep after all

As he kept trying to nudge the spiritual brand into awakening, he was very patient because he knew that this took a considerable amount of time and instead of frowning, he even had a slight smile on his face.

But of course the people in the orphanage had no idea what was happening and the awakener wasn't interested in explaining at all.

But that smile on his face slowly became a frown till it exploded into full blown horror, he had been releasing his spiritual energy for almost 20 hours, while he should have been happy about this, he wasn't even in the slightest, to his shock, he found out that his spiritual energy was actually being devoured, although he could draw spiritual energy energy from the void to replenish himself, the speed of devouring was exceeding his speed of replenishing and he found out that no matter how much he kept pumping his special spiritual energy into midas, his spiritual brand was like a black hole.

Soon to his shock, the spiritual brand started devouring his life force, the man broke into cold sweat and couldn't help but curse, damn it what kind of demonic spiritual brand is this, not only did it devour his special spiritual energy, it even started devouring his life force, the awakener wanted to cry but no tears came out.

It was then he resolutely cut off his spiritual energy from Midas's body, even if this was highly dangerous and could potentially cause a backlash, he didn't even care, because he could sense that if he hadn't done that, that evil spiritual brand could have sucked him dry, his only saving grace was his vibrant life force.
