Episode 5

Back to the present time, Yuan Zi woke up in a strange place. As he woke up, he saw a man in white and due to man in white’s power he noticed that Yuan Zi is awake.

“I’m glad that you are now awake. It is just an entrance exam; you should not push yourself that much to the point that you exhaust so much of your soul power and even borrowing so much.” Yao Yao said. Yuan Zi did not understand what Yao Yao is talking about, so he showed a face of what-do-you-mean face. Yao Yao notice this and continue to explain.

“Borrowing soul power is almost the same as burning your soul essence but borrowing soul power is just like draining all your soul power and using the potential of your own martial soul. The more potential your martial soul has, the more soul power you can borrow, but in exchange you will fall ion a deep slumber for no one knows how long. And your Angel martial soul sure has a lot of potential to even make a 2nd year teacher intervene in your test.” Yao Yao jokingly said. Yuan Zi now understand what Yao Yao is talking about.

“You said that I might fall for deep slumber for no one knows how long, how long was I asleep?” Yuan Zi ask, then Yao Yao said that Yuan Zi slept for too long and is now only 1 week before the midterm test. Yuan Zi was so shocked so he immediately ask for Yao Yao where his class is. After answering Yuan Zi rushes to his class.

As soon as he reached the building, he immediately enters the class who are finish grouping themselves for the midterm. Their teacher noticed Yuan Zi’s arrival and said that he will be group to the other students who did get a team. Yuan Zi remember the one of them because he is one of the students who take the entrance together, Lou Feng Feng the one with demon vine as martial soul. Yuan Zi goes to his group and greeted them.

“Good morning, I am Yuan Zi, let’s get along together.” He smiled brightly, but the two seems to be in an awkward situation. However, Feng Feng muster up his courage and greeted back.

“H-hello, you might not remember me but I take the entrance exam together with you.” Feng Feng said, Yuan Zi is a bit confuse, when they take the exam before Feng feng is full of confidence but now it seems he became an oddball.

“Of course, I remember you , you are the one with Demon Vine right? But what happened to you where is now your confidence?” Yuan Zi ask. Upon hearing this Feng Feng became quiet again. Yuan Zi look at the other student in their group as if he is looking for answer.

“H-how should I put this? After the entrance exam and everyone was already assigned in class, Feng Feng and I became victims of the class. As you can see, everyone here was of noble birth and only the two of us are commoner. Feng Feng and I cannot take what is happening to us, so we challenges the twins from the royal family and was beaten so much to the point that our martial soul degraded. Feng Feng’s martial is not a Demon Vine anymore and just a simple vine with no chance of breaking through level 40.” he answered.

“Now that everyone is now grouped, all of you should train together and use this whole week to improve yourselves. Class dismissed.” The teacher said and everyone left the room.

Yuan Zi and his group also left the room and go to a place where there are only few people goes. He found this place when he was going back after meeting and resting with Yao Yao.

“Sorry for my late introduction, like Feng Feng I am also a commoner. My martial soul was originally a 7-floor support tower but after getting beaten up by the twins. 4 floors of my martial soul shattered and also not able to breakthrough level 40. I am currently at the 9th level.” He sadly said, Yuan Zi pity the two and does not know what to do. “My name is Lou Xiao Tao, Feng Feng is my cousin and we sincerely apologize if we might make you fail the midterm. Actually, Feng feng and I are still suffering from being crippled.” after hearing this word again, Yuan Zi’s pity toward them increases so much, he wants to help them but he does not know how.

“Okay, since both of you are still injured and we have a week to prepare. We should go to our place and ask Le-I mean grandfather if we can fix your situation.” Yuan Zi said. The two were glad inside their hearts, they did not expect that they would be helped by a noble. In their hearts, even if they cannot recover, they will do their best to be of use to Yuan Zi.

Yuan Zi called Bi Tou and asks his help to bring Feng Feng and Xiao Tao to the Angel’s Guardian clan. Bi Tou obliges and he carry Feng Feng who is so down right now.

After arriving to the clan, Yuan Zi go straight to Leader Li to ask if he knows something that can help the two. Leader Li said that, “The Angel is the embodiment of Godly powers, far stronger than holy power. Mysteries inside cannot fathom by us, a mere guardian” with that Yuan Zi thought it may be possible if he look much deeper into it.

Yuan Zi ordered the servants to bring his two classmates to a guests room and serve them some food while Yuan Zi headed to Heaven forest.

Yuan Zi position himself and ready to cultivate but before he even starts, a voice talk.

“You want to help your classmate? Why? You just met them, why bother helping?” Yuan Zi did not bother to ask who this was because he clearly remember this voice, it was their first ancestor.

“Meeting them only now is a fate and I believe it is our destiny to be together.” Yuan Zi answered.

“How can you say so?” First ancestor ask.

“During the entrance exam I felt a deep resentment in my soul when Feng Feng was beside me. As if we are fated enemies but when I met the two of them earlier, my soul as if wants to help them so I decide to help them. But it was not because of my soul that I want to help them, but also to correct what has done wrong to them and help them improve.” Yuan Zi answered again. First ancestor was satisfied with his answer. After that Yuan Zi heard another strange voice.

“Angel God’s first test: Care to others. Passed. Reward, all rings obtained and will obtain will increase 1000 years.”

“People will envy you if they saw your first ring to be a black one, so I will give you my blessing. This blessing will conceal the true colors of your rings and show the others that they are only in the standard combination.” First ancestor said.

“And if you want to help your friends, they can sign a blood pact with you. They only need to drink a drop of your blood and their martial soul will be restored and become much stronger than before. However, if they dare to think of betraying you they will immediately die. Also your blood will remove the curse casted on that vine boy. That teacher in that academy cast a curse so that your secret during the entrance exam will not be revealed.” First ancestor added and he left.
