Chapter 298 - Awaken (1/2)

”Hey, wake up, Wang Ling, wake up!”

”Where am I? Ouch, that hurt..”

Wang Ling could feel his body to be moving without a problem. And as he opened his eyes, what he saw caused his eyes to widen.

A man was before him. That brown hair, that contour of his face, the mild and carefree expression of that man, it was so nostalgic that he forgot about the pain on his head, ”Master?”

Wang Ling asked in confusion.

The man he calls master furrowed his brows and then showed a ferocious face to Wang Ling, ”You lazy disciple, get up and get ready, we need to move! Come and move, we are heading to the North, hehe, this master of yours managed to secure a good location for the Academy.”

Wang Ling puzzled expression as memories of the past flooded his mind. It was a familiar scene this was, it was too familiar as it had already happened in the past.

”I know this already happened, this is the time when Master and I went to the North to secure the unnamed mountain from the bandits. This is the past?” Wang Ling questioned and he looked around, ”This must be an illusion.”

He was already aware that this place was not real, and as he became aware of it, he looked around and saw a pen nearby. Grabbing it in a hurry, Wang Ling took it and stabbed it in one of his eyes.

Blood gushed out and he wailed in pain, he saw the image of his master flashed and tried to move but the world crumbled as soon as he went ahead and change the script of the illusory world.

The world showed signs of static and soon, he saw his body growing up. But as he looked at his clothing and surrounding, the world still seemed to be an illusion. He creased his brows, [This is a strong world.] He thought and swiftly tried taking his life away.

He had a sword tied to his waist. He grabbed it and was about to slit his throat and once again get out of the illusory world when a young boy about the age of 10 snatched it away from him and runoff.

”Haha, I got Martial Brother's sword!” The kid gave Wang Ling a satisfied look on his face and then run off with the sword. Against his rational thinking, Wang Ling runs after the kid and just like that, he was sucked into the pace of the illusory world.

Wang Ling lived his memories like it was real. He once tried going against the flow of the world but the more he tried to go against it the stronger the flow became. Living in a life that is fake but seemed real made Wang Ling unable to see through anything.

The world was convincing enough that he lived through his memories without a problem. The people he lost was there with him, his master was alive — what more could he ask for?

In one of the training grounds atop the mountain peak, Wang Ling sat on the grass watching over the children frolicking around the mountain peak. Wang Ling had a satisfied look on his face.

But it was at this time that seven figures came flying with high speeds. They were Saints, and Wang Ling immediately felt their killing intents.

”Bring out the traitorous sc.u.m!” The man screamed out in a loud voice.

Wang Ling's master got out of the temple in a hurry and his countenance darkened upon seeing the seven men, ”Senior Brother, may I invite you to a cup of tea?”, Wang Ling's Master offered with a serious look on his face.

”I am here to dispose of you, having to share a cup of tea with a traitor such as you would only be a disgrace. Kill them all! None shall be left alive.” The man abruptly ordered the death of the innocent.

”NO! Don't you dare touch them!” The master went into a rage then tried to meet with the six men who were moving for the kill.
