Chapter 29: A Week Later.
A week slowly passed, Shen Tian's cultivation had stepped into the peak of the Silver Rank, while Nie Li was slowly nearing the peak of the Bronze Rank, even the former was surprised at his cultivation.
Shen Tian finally confronted Nie Li, he was very curious about why he had asked for five million Demon Spirit Coins, even wasting them on useless herbs, but the boy did not answer any of his questions.
Nie Li looked at his figure, which was slowly leaving, and knitted his eyebrows, Shen Tian was a mysterious figure, even in his hundreds years of living, he had never seen someone with an Indigo Soul Realm… But he couldn't sense his Soul Realm, as if it was even deeper than he originally thought.
"Shen Tian… Just what the hell are you?" He muttered to himself, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, just from the short discussion between the two, he felt an immense amount of pressure.
He just hoped, that this boy,no man, would not try to destroy Glory City, otherwise he was not sure himself, that he could assassinate him, he was rich,very powerful and held a lot of influence in the city.
~~
Shen Tian rolled his eyes, he was at the peak of the Silver Rank, obviously, he'd hear what Nie Li was muttering to himself, he found it laughable, the two were still searching for an answer to their curiosity.
He grinned, it was time to enter the Gold Rank, as a Demon Spiritualist, that was a massive step forward, as it meant he was slowly reaching the apex of the city, most families only had Gold Rank Demon Spiritualists.
With a single hand seal, which he did for fun, merely to add some more enjoyment to this, several thousand shadow clones popped out of this existence, and all the soul force they gathered entered his Soul Realm.
His Soul Realm, shone, and a crimson energy engulfed his body, creating several tails of crimson soul force, before suddenly vanishing, and entering his body again, he had achieved the breakthrough.
His eyes shone with a hint of cunningness, who knew what Shen Tian was thinking? Who could read the mind of a billion years old immortal? No one!
He waved his hand, and soul force left his body, going towards a tree nearby, in the first second of contact, the tree was slammed away, together with several others trees, it created a massive hole.
That was merely a small amount of his true strength, not even close to a quarter of a quarter of his actual strength, if he showed his true power… The sight would be very frightening to witness!
Shen Tian frowned,"It seems there is a need for me to practice a few techniques from my former lives, my attacking power is simply too unacceptable!"
~~
Shen Tian chuckled when his aunt was being questioned for her teaching capabilities, when she mistook Inscription Patterns, it could be a very minor mistake, but Nie Li started to doubt the ancestor of the Sacred Family too.
Shen Yue immediately tried to come to Shen Xiu's rescue, but failed to do so, Shen Tian looked at the highest seats, to see three old men, probably each uncomfortable at the size of the seats, discussing.
They probably were also talking about how talented Nie Li was. That was quite surprising, since he had just a Red Soul Realm, and was not really that noticeable when they had tested his talent and personality.
Shen Tian used his Sharingan to check Nie Li's Soul Force, he could do it the old way, but it would not be very accurate, he used his hands to hide his eyes, and then was covered in amusement,'He's already at the peak of the Bronze Rank…'
That speed was indeed fearsome, it was not like Shen Tian, who merely relied on Shadow Clones, who were not even half of his true talent, and merely had a Cyan Soul Realm, but it was pure hard work.
Shen Tian also noticed he reeked off Pills, he probably had absorbed and refined quite a few pills, which made him even more suspicious, since Nie Li never showed talents for being an Alchemist previously.
Ye Sheng, noticed the glare Shen Tian was sending at Nie Li, and thought that the two were rivals, or had some kind of issues with each other, this made it very difficult for him to choose who to support, Nie Li or Shen Tian.
He shrugged, he could always deal with this later, he was too old for those sort of things…'Why did you leave me the responsibility with doing this,Principal … Where the hell are you?' He frowned.
~~
Shen Xiu was really getting angry at Nie Li, he was ruining her reputation, a reputation she had worked for years to achieve, a brat with a Red Soul Realm dared to act like that… It angered her!
He was doing it in front of some high rank elders too, and one of them was the Vice Principal of the Holy Orchid Institute, and the current leader of the Institute, since the Principal was secluded, trying to reach the Legend Rank.
She looked at her two nephews, one was doing his best to protect the honor of the Sacred
Family's Ancestor, not hers, and the other one was basically ignoring the current situation, and was kind of taking a nap.
Shen Tian, did not care about the history of the Sacred Family, he knew they were very shady, and most of them were not good people, Shen Yue and Shen Hong were some examples of that. They had connections with the Dark Guild, and also claimed some random Inscription Patterns as theirs.
Honestly, he was more curious about how Nie Li knew about those Inscription Patterns, as they took years of years of reading various books about them, to actually know the difference which was very small.
He was slowly nearing several choices, of how to approach this situation, Nie Li was not as simple as before, he looked far sharper and far more knowledgeable than before, it was very scary.
It was as if… A soul invaded him, and took over his body, Shen Tian chuckled, with him being here, the possibility of that was not actually that low, and neither was it just impossible, there was a chance of that.
Maybe he'd answer that, if he just directly asked that question, the question was… Was he from the same universe as him, if so, he was comfortable, because the man was in a far lower level than him, since any other expert was weaker than him.
