77 Crippled Cultivation Is Nothing (1/2)

One must make a simple oath: Never Lose.

By definition of 'Lose' it mainly meant that one shall never die during he process of a battle however if you pass out, one shall receive a minor punishment.

Your cultivation level would be on hold temporarily.

Meaning to 'win' was to kill the opponent without mercy

You were guaranteed to have an easy time cultivating for the first few realms however the only way to advance to a higher realm was pure fighting skill.

If at anytime you have lost a battle, you're cultivation will completely shatter and will die a painful death via separation of tendons; all 5 orifices bleeding; trauma to the nerves; pores ripping; bones turning inside out and the genital being mutilated.

Your soul will be roasted over a flame that will never end until the very essence of yourself will cease to exist in so called 'Glory'.

Each breakthrough will follow with pain and temporary weakness.

The one good thing about this was that it was unable to be cultivated with Qi or Mana meaning it was useful for those with poor talent.

He remembered the days so vividly when he asked his father why this wasn't available to the public.

As long as they gave it to a strong willed commoner, would they instantly have a strong warrior.

What's more, given that the warriors would grow in a controlled environment with the resources they have at hand, they could essentially create a powerful soldier.

At the time, his father laughed out loud for a long time until he gave a cold glare.

”Let me tell you of a story where we got this manual from..”

”Once there was a young man who grew up in a rural village, during a special night, he found a cultivation manual in the deep woods. Thinking he had won life, he was ready to show it off to his family and friends but instead kept it for himself.”

”One day challengers appeared one after another and just like magic, he won. Years soon passed and he became the strongest person within the village and made sure to be filial child by doing the crops.”

”Soon a messenger from the kingdom came 'Our king would like to see you'. He met the king and was recruited to become a soldier. However disaster struck as their capital was soon filled with famines, plagues, natural disasters and wars”

”A line soon carved in blood at the end of the book wrote 'Fate is not meant to be played with'.”

The child was without patriotism and was filled with ignorance about the outside world.

Although that was a point that could've been brought up, the story suggested that if he hired a person to fight and purposely won, his life would be gone.

Ultimately, his goal was to become 'Undefeatable'

Although very unlikely, Christian would wander around the world and hope that luck would be on his side.

Compared to being a sitting duck, he would rather still choose this choice even with such a heavy price.

He did not necessarily have to fight anyone but he wanted to test out whether enlightenment about 'fighting' itself would present any improvements.

Dean was starting to get worried at the fact that Christian was muttering and in deep thought for a long while now.
