Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 836 - Red Stone

With that being decided on, Rean and Roan left the area so that Celis could talk more with the Divine Demon Beasts. Although Celis said that he didn't want to see their faces, the Divine Demon Beasts definitely didn't want it to remain that way. Whether they could resolve it or not was up to them.

Following that, they returned to the sect and quickly noticed that Fizer seemed to be somewhat dazzled. 'Seems like he found out the truth,' Rean thought with a smile on his face.

Roan didn't want to waste time with those kinds of things, so he followed another direction while saying, 'if you need me, let me know. I'm heading back to cultivate.' Sure enough, he wasn't very much the welcoming type.

Rean sighed in response as he shook his head. Nonetheless, he didn't say anything and quickly flew to where Fizer was. Eventually, he landed where Fizer and the others were, asking, "So, how is it, Senior Fizer? Is Malo good enough?"

Malo was taken aback for a moment, asking with a hint of confusion, "Good enough? Good enough for what?"

Only then did Fizer come back to himself. "Ah! Errr...yes, of course, he is!"

Rean couldn't help but smile brightly after that as he asked, "Still, how come it looks like you're distracted? Did you find anything wrong with our sect members?"

Fizer's mouth twitched in response. It wasn't hard to see that Rean understood what the problem was. "Hmph! Something wrong? You know very well what I found out, right? Stop acting oblivious." Fizer then pointed at the bunch of sect members moving around, doing their things. "Every single member of your sect has higher cultivation and talent than most of the humans at a similar age I've seen in my life, including the young kids. The only exceptions are, surprisingly, the adults taking care of them. Tell me, just what is the average Aptitude Color of the members of this sect?"

Sure enough, with his Elemental Transformation Realm cultivation, he didn't need some Aptitude Measuring Orb to understand that much. He was sure that all of them were very talented humans. It's just that Malo seemed to be the one who put in most of the effort, but the others around his age weren't doing bad at all either.

Rean then laughed out loud as he replied, "Hahaha! As expected of Senior Fizer, we can't fool the eyes of an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator." Rean then took a jade slip, which he used to keep track of the members of the sect. Malo, of course, passed Rean another one, which had the information of the members who didn't go to the war.

"At the moment, we have 2312 members with Blue Color Aptitude, 901 members with Red Color Aptitude, and 154 with Purple Color Aptitude." Back when the twins first arrived in the Demon Beast Continent, they had 2469 blues, 957 reds, and 163 purples. However, they obviously lost a few during the years. Some died in the surrounding areas while training against the demon beasts. However, the majority got killed during the war.

"What?! 154 with Purple Color Aptitude?!" Fizer was still scared out of his mind. "How the hell did you find so many talents, and all of them so young?" Even Fizer was somewhat lacking when compared to the Purple Color ones. Fizer himself felt to be very lucky to be a Red Color Talent cultivator. The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Noᴠelꜰire

Malo looked at Rean, who nodded back at him. Malo then began to explain, "It went like this..." Malo then proceeded to explain the whole process of how the Soul Rulers' Bloodline Trial Control Formations worked. Of course, Fizer already knew that the Soul Marks were created by sacrificing human souls. However, he was unaware of the Soul Purity issue. Especially the fact that any human with high Soul Purity would also have high cultivation talent. Of course, Malo made sure to keep the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm issue out of the explanation, saying that the twins used some kind of teleportation plan to get out of there.

"I see..." Fizer became more and more surprised as he heard the story. "Still, high Soul Purity is the same high cultivation talent. That's something I was unaware of."

Malo was still in doubt, though. "It's good that senior understands. However, what is this thing about being good enough? Do you need something from me?"

Malo's words finally reminded Fizer of his main objective by coming here. "Oh, right!" He quickly patted Malo's shoulder before asking, "Boy, I'm looking for a disciple that I can pass my teachings down to. From what I heard from Rean, you seem to also have the same affinity element as me. How is it? Would you be willing to accept me as your master?"

Malo was surprised to hear that as he looked at Rean. "Is it true?"

Rean nodded as he replied, "Sure it is. Whether you accept or not is up to you. However, Senior Fizer is definitely more suited to be your master since he knows the human cultivation path better than Roan and I. Especially since he has the same affinity as yours." Rean then patted Malo's shoulder before adding, "Roan and I are, after all, Light and Dark Element cultivators. We lack the experience to properly guide people with other elemental affinities. Roan also agreed with this idea."

Malo was delighted to hear that. However, unlike what Fizer thought, he wasn't happy because Fizer could become his master, instead... 'If I become his disciple, I probably can't be the Sect Master anymore! That's perfect! No more female issues to deal with every single day. Hahaha!'

"Malo accepts the offer!" As twisted as Malo's reason was, he still did what Fizer wanted.

"Hahaha! Great!" Fizer then took a red stone from his own spatial equipment. Although spatial equipment was rare, Fizer was still an Elemental Transformation Realm cultivator, so he had his own ways of getting one. "This is Master's gift for you. As a Fire Element user, this ought to be of great help."

Rean recognized the stone. It was called Spiritual Lava Stone and was very rare, even in Sunkan Planet. 'Good stuff. I wonder if he knows where to find more of these.'
