My Cultivation System

Chapter 289 - Restricted For A Year?

'Kacha'

As soon as he finished his words, the eerie voice once again pierced through Henrick's body.

"Sorry to disappoint you but I am not feeling like staying here anymore."

Even though the eerie voice stabbed Henrick two times, Henrick didn't feel a single thing because his 'Endurance' skill was upgraded to level 4.

So, he calmly replied to the eerie voice with a light chuckle as he continued to speak, "Earlier, I promised you to say that how I came to this world, right? So, open your eyes and see."

'System, let's go.'

Soon, he ordered the system to take him out of the minor ghost world.

'Ding,

          Initiating the retracting of the Participant.

'Ding,

          The participant will be sent back in 3...2...1.

'Swoosh'

As the system count down ended, Henrick's figure which was tightly held by the eerie voice disappeared into tiny light sparkles.

"What?"

'Aarghh'

Seeing the sudden disappearance of Henrick from his hands, the eerie voice became shocked for a moment before becoming furious and started shouting like a mad man.

"Damn it...he wiped out 80 percent of my minions. I have gathered them and groomed them for years."

The eerie voice tried to calm down; however, when he thought about his minions, he could not help but become angry.

Generally, once an ambush ghost enters rank 5, he will start gathering his minions. So that, when it entered into rank 6, he would have enough force to invade other worlds.

Invading other worlds means they would not enter other worlds openly; instead, they would silently enter into the world and kill the guardian before secretly starting their plan.

However, now, his minions were killed and he was only left with low-level minions.

"You might have escaped today. Once I reach rank 6, I will gather an even more powerful army and come to your world because after I become a rank 6 ambush ghost, I can create a portal to your world as I have your scent...Haha."

The eerie voice's ambition to become rank 6 grew stronger because of what Henrick had done today.

.....

Inside the inheritance building.

'Swoosh'

'Thud'

A portal appeared in the main hall of the inheritance building as Henrick fell to the ground.

'Ding,

          It is detected that the participant is critically injured. Starting the 'General Healing'.

The moment he fell to the ground, Henrick's consciousness was withering away and Henrick felt like if he closed his eyes, he would sleep forever.

However, after hearing the system notification in his head, Henrick felt relieved as he closed his eyes.

'Shuss'

Henrick's body shone with bright light and all the injuries on his body started healing.

Even though Henrick's body was completely covered in injuries, he felt nothing and he considered it to be a blessing for him.

'Ding,

          The participant's injuries are completely healed; however, he still needs to take some rest for a few days.

Ding,

        The trial master temporarily restricted the participant for one month for his next trial.

'What the hell? Why? I am perfectly alright.'

Once his injuries were completely healed, Henrick's consciousness returned to normal; however, he felt weak all over his body that he could even voice out his words.

Right now, he was furious at the trial master for restricting him from taking any more trials for another month.

'Swoosh'

Soon, the old man appeared in front of Henrick. He was none other than the trial master as he revealed an ear to ear smile on his face while looking at Henrick's current situation.

"All the ancient fire demons are arrogant and greedy as always."

The old trial master silently walked towards Henrick as he continued speaking, "Even though you completed the trial, you stayed back because of some extra rewards."

"No wonder, the ancient fire demon's race was destroyed and the scattered ones are living in fear."

"Even if I didn't pull you in time, you would have not died but you would have used up the escape talisman. The escape talisman is more useful than you think..I hope you are going to reflect on your mistake for one month. If you are not satisfied with my restriction, I can easily increase the restriction time to  one year."

The old trial master scoffed at Henrick as he said so many things in a single breath.

'What the hell? Isn't it a good thing to kill more of these ambush ghosts?'

Actually, Henrick was shouting; however, no words were coming out of his mouth.

However, the trial master is not a regular being. So, he was able to understand Henrick's words.

"Good. Looks like you are not satisfied with my judgement. So, how about I increase the restriction to six months?"

With a devil's smile, the old trial master replied to Henrick in a relaxing manner.

'What? You can't do this to me? I did nothing wrong'

"Now, it's three months."

'What? No.'

"One year. If you speak even a single word, I will directly restrict you for 10 years."

The conversation between Henrick and the old trial master became heated along with the increase in the restriction time.

That's right!

Every time Henrick spoke about something, the trial master increased the restriction time.

The restriction time increased from one month to one year within a few words.

'...'

When he heard that he is not permitted to enter any trial for the next one year, Henrick became speechless; however, deep inside his heart, he still felt what he did was the right thing.

Nevertheless, after hearing the berated words of the old trial master, Henrick didn't dare to speak a single word because he knew that the old man was really not joking.

However, it took him some time to realize it and it cost him 11 extra months of restriction.

"As long as you truly reflect on your mistake, the restriction time might decrease too."

Seeing the look on Henrick's face, the old trial master informed him about something; however, Henrick was not excited even a tiny bit.
