Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chief Dona roused his spirit energy.

Just as the name of the cultivation energy implied, Chief Dona's spirit energy was the same color brownish color copper had.

He passed a little of his energy into the sword and brought it down on the half-boulder.

*Bam!*

A dull hammering sound was heard. And to the surprise of everybody watching, nothing happened.

Not a single inch of cut appeared on the boulder.

This made Chief Dona frown a little, And then he gave a slight smile. He used his other hand and smacked the boulder. As expected, the boulder was destroyed.

"It's just as I suspected," Chief Dona muttered in a low tone. On Chiron's sword, he could see a rune that glowed Crimson. Even though he did not know the Rune language, he was smart enough to know that Rune prevented anyone else from using the sword aside Chiron.

He nodded and threw the sword back to Chiron. Chiron caught it and once again, the sword attached itself to his hand.

"Elder Joules," Dona looked to his wife, "You'll honor your oath."

Everybody gasped again. Those words from the chief were an order.

This meant that the chief had acknowledged Chiron as the winner of the bet.

Dona walked back to his seat. However, unknown to everybody, the moment he sat, he opened the palm he had used to hold the sword.

There was a thin scar on his palm. He clenched his fist hard and used his spirit energy to seal the wound.

He took another look at Chiron's sword. Even though he was a copper-ranked cultivator, he was still injured by the sword.

No one knew, but he had already determined that he was going to get Devil's touch one way or the other.

Meanwhile, Chiron held his sword and sighed lowly. From the greedy look in Chief Dona's eyes, Chiron knew certainly that he had just developed a target sign on his back.

The Chief now wanted his sword. But this did not make him angry. In fact, it made him feel good. The more enemies he had, the more push he had to grow.

Chief Dona was a Copper Ranked Cultivator. This was several ranks above him. In fact, saying that he was several ranks above Chiron would be wrong. After all, Chiron was without rank.

This was yet another reason why he needed to get strong and fast.

Elder Joules approached Chiron, "Okay! you won the bet, as expected, you may request what you want."

Everybody heard her words and all eyes were on Chiron.

Some children could not resist and were shouting out items that Chiron could ask for.

However, to the surprise of everybody watching, Chiron made a request that none of them expected.

"I want three blue beast core stones."

"Huh!?"

This took everybody by surprise.

However, Elder Joules could not help but laugh at this request. To her, this was indeed a small price to pay. Of all things to ask for, Chiron still ended up asking for money.

"At the end of the day, he is still a child!" She thought to herself.

She dipped her hand in her garment and threw him one Blue beast core. "I'll have a servant deliver the remain two later."

Chiron bowed in a thank you and fell back in line with the rest of the class. However, as he did, he smiled. Anyone that saw him thought he was happy because of the Blue Beast core he just acquired but no one knew that he was joyful for an entirely different reason.

Chiron's plan was simple. Firstly, the Chief was here. he was not sure, but taking precautions was never a bad thing. He knew that Chief Dona kept tabs on him. If he revealed that he wanted the thousand year old violet good will flower, it would definitely raise Dona's suspicion on him.

After all, The Thousand year old Violet good-will flower was a precious herb.

As it was in his old life, leaders, be they politicians or not were very skeptical in nature. As it was, he already had attention on his head.

Secondly, asking for money will ensure he was looked upon as nothing but an eight-year-old that luckily got a good sword. After all, Which eight-year-old did not like extra pocket money to buy snacks? This would help people to further underestimate his desires.

It was always a good thing to look weak before one's enemies. The weaker one looked, the better.

Lastly, he wanted to test out a particular theory he had. This of course concerned the Rune he had placed on the contract at the time of the signing.

As far as Elder Joules was concerned, she had fulfilled the Blood pact. However, the expectation of what he would use her for made Chiron very satisfied with the results.

Elder Joules took her position on the Boulder, "The first test is over. Now, we shall begin the second test. For those that did not participate in the first test, you are to leave the academy immediately. The second test will be a sparing competition between students. You will all draw lots and will face who so ever picks the same number as you."

The students listened attentively as she spoke.

Elder joules nodded her head as she continued, "As much as cultivation is concerned, luck plays a vital role in the life of a cultivator. If you are lucky, you might uncover a treasure that will further your cultivation, and likewise, if you are not, you might find a treasure that will lead to your death. Also in the future, your opponents will be random. One day you might face a dragon, and another day, you might face an Ant. Either way, your luck determines your success."

As she spoke, the children entered a line and picked sticks that had numbers written on them. These numbers were picked at random.

Chiron could not help but believe this was an effort on the part of the clan to let students understand that Cultivation was a...
