Vol 1 Chapter 3 (1/2)
This was in my email for a while, didn’t really want to post it due to bad quality without editing, but I guess I should stop the starvation.
Volume 1 Chapter 3: A big shot’s choice
Lin Xi Tong’s Da Hang Tian Ji had infinite mysteries and a single effect, which was to stimulate a person’s practicing potential. As long as one had potential, then that person would definitely show special signs under the effect of the Da Hang Tian Ji.
These special signs had a total of 5 categories, the weak lights from the landfill were the lowest of the five and meant that this person only had the qualifications to practice Yuan Li. The top tier would have a colored light beam that had ____ surrounding it, signifying the direction of the person’s talent. The second tier only had a light beam. The third tier was a light that was like fire, burning brightly. The fourth did not have any other signs but only had a bright light.
(DELETE LATER: s.h.i.+n, the line I left, it’s something like this but I forgot the name for it/show/2/86/9d2fdad116d63dc9.html) (Welp, this is for s.h.i.+n but he’s busy and I still don’t know what it is, someone halp, I will delete it when i know what it’s called.)
And on top of the first tier was another legend. They are the true geniuses with overflowing talent, their appearance mostly accompanied the vision of a river, mountain or even a beast.
The red light beam under the moonlight was one within the last few rankings of talent levels, but even so, a person with a first tier qualification among all the countless pract.i.tioners had the ratio of one to a hundred thousand, each one of them worthy to be carefully cultivated by the empire, becoming the mainstays of the military.
This beam of red light was like a slap to Gu Tuo Hai’s face, causing it to become red and hot.
“Let’s go and see!” Without waiting for the airs.h.i.+p to turn, Lin Xi tong exited the cabin and jumped from a few hundred meters.
The dozen of uniformed crew also followed Lin Xi Tong and jumped. Gu Tuo Hao harshly hit the window frame but eventually followed downwards.
The little boy’s change in his body scared the big kids, but the little girl merely stood dazed for a while, after noticing that her body strength had increased, she charged towards another bigger sized stone and dragged it over to the little boy with difficulty.
The little boy was still blur, groaning, he turned.
At his side suddenly appeared a pair of deer skin military boots.
The pair of boots never did really hit the floor, but floated a few centimeters above it, suddenly a invisible force spread, moving away all the dirt, trash and dust away.
The girl stopped in her tracks aghast, looking at the silver haired man that appeared suddenly. Her beautiful innocent eyes widening, giving off a harmless and naive expression and throwing down the stone in her hands secretly at the same time.
There was also light glowing from the little girl’s body, something even she did not notice, her sweat drenched hands now dry. However, not even the corners of the silver haired man’s gaze ever landed on her.
Lin Xi Tong’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the scars on the little boy’s body, some of the wounds had already spread to the internal organs, the injuries heavier than expected. Waving his hand, a bright mist appeared in the sky containing drops of green liquid that dripped onto the little boy’s body, entering his skin.
These green droplets contained a huge amount of Yuan Li, the wounds on the small boy’s body speedily healing visibly, with a groan, he slowly opened his eyes, waking up completely.
The dignified face of the sliver haired man was the first thing the small boy saw after regaining his consciousness.
He did not understand the situation at all but he wasn’t willing to keep lying on the ground weakly and fought to stood up yet again. Looking to the sides, he saw the big children again and scenes of what had happened came into his mind, causing his face changing immediately.
Lin Xi tong’s gaze followed the small boy’s, noticing the crowd of big children and the fresh oily packaging, he instantly understood why the little boy had been so injured. In this landfill, these were the commons sights.
Lin Xi tong collected his thoughts and leaned downwards, reaching his hand towards the small boy and said gently “Come here, give your hand to me. What is your name?”
However the small boy flinched and after a while, finally mustered his courage and softly said “Qian……Qian Ye.” But his hand only reached halfway before his confidence ran out.
That small hand was covered in dirt. Although his wound no longer bled but the dirt and blood was still there.
No matter what, he did not dare to place his hand on the silver haired man’s big clean hand. Even though in Qian Ye’s eyes, that big hand in front of him was the only place he could feel warmth from in the world.
Lin Xi Tong smiled and encouraged “It’s alright, give me your hand.”
Gu Tuo hai had landed at this point and customarily wore a kind expression, looking at Qian Ye’s body which was filled with wounds, anger appeared visibly in his face and he heavily ‘hmphed’, glancing coldly at the surrounding children.
A look of fear emerged from the children that huddled together, but with the dozen of guards that was blocking all the clear roads in the area, they did not dare to run.
Lin Xi tong had a slightly blended back and a reached out hand as he waited patiently, under his clear and calm gaze, Qian Ye finally had the courage to place his hand into the warm, dry hand that was filled with strength.
Lin Xi tong lightly kneaded the hand that was not even half the size of his and closed his eyes, silently feeling it.
Gu Tuo hai looked at Qian ye and furrowed his brows, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
Lin Xi tong made a sound of surprise and opened his eyes. Looking up and down at Qian ye, his hand reached out and pulled at the cloth on the small boy’s body.
Qian Ye’s chest which was skinny to the point whereas his ribs showed was a large scar that reached from a inch below where his heart was to his navel, looking at this ugly protruding scar, one would know that there was a horrifying wound similar to a Caesar section!
(Puttty: DONT GOOGLE CAESAR SECTION, IT MEANS THE OPERATION WHERE THE SURGEON CUTS OPEN THE MOTHER’S BELLY FOR THE BABY.)
But how old was Qian Ye? how did he survive?
At that moment, Lin Xi tong straightened his back and said “Brother Tuo Hai, you’re proficient in medical knowledge, help me and take a look.”
Gu Tuo hai walked to Qian Ye without a word or minding the dirt, he touched the body of Qian Ye, his hands that was reaching to every part of his body felt as if burning needles were pierced into Qian Ye body, however Qian Ye gritted his teeth and never made a sound.
Shock flashed past Gu Tuo Hai’s eyes and he praised “How courageous for one of your age, interesting!”
Standing up, he spoked to Lin Xi Tong “This child indeed had a first tier qualification, but because of this wound, it ruined his foundation. Not only that but，this child may had have a piece of Yuan Li crystal in his body.”
Lin Xi tong immediately thought of a taboo word, Yuan Li despoil! Slightly squinting his eyes, he said “You mean….”
Gu Tuo Hai said seriously “No, it is only a guess of mine. You too know that those things are a big taboo. Though, this wound of his is already a few years old, when he received it his age should still under three. Until now, you already saw that his foundation had took a huge blow, even though his training potential is stronger than anyone here, he doesn’t have a top tier talent anymore.”
Qian Ye’s old injury was so serious, but was still capable of generating a red light beam, what that meant was that his original talent could have maybe reached the super level. Until now, with his current body state, he barely reached the 4th tier.
This type of talent that was slightly stronger then the average person, to this two big shots of the empire military was practically non existent. Moreover whether Qian Ye’s huge wound could withstand the harsh training was unknown.
Gu Tuo hai sighed sympathetically.
Lin Xi Tong looked at the little Qian Ye, whom’s head was raised as he looked back at Xi tong, perhaps the small trace of warmth in his palm was not entirely gone, the dependence in the little boy’s eyes something he did not even notice himself.
Lin Xi Tong’s heart slightly wavered and said “Meeting here perhaps counts as fate. How about this, I will help you to leave this place, but as for where you want to go, you will choose yourself.”
Taking out a few pieces of smooth jade tablets, there was words on the tablets that he left facing his palm.
Qian Ye hesitated and picked out a jade tablet, flipping it over he noticed the two words on it, which he could not understand,
Seeing the tablet, Gu Tuo hai sighed and shook his head.
Lin Xi tong softly read the words for Qian Ye “Acheron.” He then took back the tablet and patted the little boy’s head “What is your surname?”
“I……I don’t have one. My name is Qian Ye.”
Lin Xi Tong nodded and said gently “Okay, if you come back from that place alive, you can use my surname, Lin!”
Qian ye did not understand what he was saying but continued to listen anyway.
Lin Xi tong did not require him to understand and turned around, giving orders “Bring him to Qing Niao, give him a bath and something to eat along with a set of clothes.”
