Heavenly Opposers
8 Chapter 8

A day has passed since the beginning of the test and many changes have already taken place, among the kids that has entered about one third had already died, the other kids had already learned what true terror was and they got to know that the world they were in was reality

Among the ones that were killed some lost their will to fight, while the others learned the power of helplessness and now their hearts burned with the desire to get stronger, the trial was not really about surviving for 3 days, it was about earning the will to get stronger

Of course, those that survive for all the three days and show exceeding results will get extra rewards but then again even the ones that lost at the first might have great cultivation talent, so they won't be completely pushed aside

In the world of cultivation one must have talent, a strong martial heart and a goal that you put on yourself, only with these would you be able to move forward and the one that had got the eyes of the elders was Xiao as he had displayed an extraordinary performance

What they saw from a seven-year child was cunningness, resourcefulness, and a beaming fearless martial heart, from the very start they could see how Xiao had planned, the way in which he covered himself to hide his scent was something that no other kids did, it was not that they didn't know, in fact, each of the kids would be given several instructions and training for their survival

But being told something and being able to do it are two different things, having the will to do anything to move forward is extremely important in the world of cultivation and Xiao had showed it and it was not just only that, the way he moved and the way he easily grew from his mistakes was extraordinary

Of course, Xiao made those 'mistakes' knowingly, after all, won't it be suspicious if a kid who never even saw a forest was able to survive in it easily? so Xiao willingly made some rookie mistakes and he 'improved' drastically from it, he wanted to display himself as a genius that grew with great speed

Anyhow there were some fights that Xiao was involved in but he ended up running away due to his 'inability', for now, he had already shown his adaptability, now it was time to show his determination, within the deep forest Xiao was moving through the forest with careful step

His body was camouflaged within the trees, and he moved with calculative steps, of course, he wasn't an 'expert', so he made mistakes, truthfully speaking Xiao wanted to go all out but he knew that showing too much was not always a boon, the one watching was old foxes that lived hundreds of years longer than him, they would quickly pick up any anomaly with him, so he had to be careful

With 'awkward' and 'novice' moves Xiao traveled through the forest, as he kept moving he passed through a large area with a huge opening, and within the opening, he saw a large tiger sleeping, it was twice his size, with a robust body and a gleaming fur covering its body

It was not a demonic beast, if it was them this won't even be a trial anymore, demonic beasts are those that can cultivate and grow stronger, once they reach a high realm they will be able to take on human appearance, and if they used such a beast, then it would just be serving these kids on a silver plate to them

Xiao hid at a discrete location as he focused intently on the sleeping beast, ever since Xiao had returned his body kept itching for a fight, one that would test him to the limit one that would make his blood boil in excitement, seeing that this was the perfect opportunity Xiao's eyes shined with fighting spirit

He didn't hesitate anymore as he held the token in his hand, this was something given to everyone and no one could tamper with it, in a way it was a beacon that allowed people to see what was happening, with a determined gaze Xiao willed his soul, as his soul energy wrapped around the token

If there was anybody who could witness this scene, they would lose their mind in shock because Xiao right was willing his soul! the use of the soul was extremely mysterious and powerful in the cultivation world, one would not be able to control their soul

One might be able to access their soul when they reach a certain level in cultivation but even to them controlling soul energy was not completely possible, of course in the world of cultivation there's nothing that was impossible, within its long history there were several geniuses born with the power to control the soul and its energy

But even for them, they were only able to control their soul after reaching a high realm and that too they had to spend years studying their soul but it was different for Xiao when he had first found that he was able to feel his soul and it's the power he was surprised beyond anything but he later he accepted it

And as for how? well he didn't care, Xiao's thoughts were simple, he didn't know why this happened so he thought about it, there might be some reason like he died and he was born twice or many things, overall he couldn't get a concrete answer so he gave up

And that's how he is, if you can't replace the answer why is waste time thinking about it? Xiao's whole life is a mystery and he firmly believes that with time, answers will definitely replace him, leaving aside the whole mystery, he willed his soul power to the formation in the batch, causing it to glitch, and with it, the scene displaying him disappeared

And this caused outrage to the others who were watching it, Yun Hao frowned seeing it, as for the world spirit master his expression turned to knots, he willed his power to control the formation, yet something seemed to block him but he couldn't identify the power

It was natural as soul power was extremely rare even in the higher heavens, feeling that the situation was turning dire, the world spirit master tried his best to fight it but it was like a gum sticking to the formation, it would take some time to fix it and that's what Xiao needed, seeing that his plan had worked he held the small sword in his hands as he walked to the beast that was sleeping

And as soon as he entered a certain range the beast opened his eyes and looked towards Xiao, seeing tasty meat presenting to itself, its eyes glowed with greed as it stood up on its four legs and roared to present its superiority, hearing its roar Xiao's eyes buzzed, he cleared his ears with a lazy expression as he spoke

"Son of a bitch, fucker do you have to be so loud? fucking bastard you almost hurt my ears you know?"

And with that, the calm and clean expression that he had always shown broke down, Xiao's face became lazy and obnoxious, he stretched his body and cracked his neck

"Ohhh fuck, finally I can talk as I want, it was so stuffed acting all calm and genius like you know?"

Xiao spoke to the tiger who was bewildered seeing its prey being so cared free, it's eyes became fierce as it roared again, becoming ready for a strike, seeing it Xiao smirked

"Wow!, your quite the feisty guy, I wonder how you would taste?"

After he spoke he held his stomach and looked at the tiger with a hungry gaze, seeing it the tiger felt a chill down its spine, slowly but surely the real Xiao was coming out, the real him who was cunning, arrogant, manipulative, shameless and mostly foul-mouthed!
