Chapter 829: Rocketing Strength

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“How is the current situation? Are we making smooth progress?” Jun Mo Xie asked.

Solitary Falcon smirked, an unusually proud expression on his face. “The progress has been rather smooth; the three hundred members of the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer have all reached the realm of Sky Xuan! Another five of them had already attained the peak level of a Sky Xuan. As long as they maintain a tranquil mind they will be able to breakthrough to Spirit Xuan any moment!”

“How can it be this fast?!” This unexpected good news left Jun Mo Xie astonished.

It really was too unexpected. To be honest, all these people making up the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer were all old, retired soldiers. These people had unserving determination and an unyielding fighting spirit that got stronger when they encountered stronger opponents. But none of them truly stood out in terms of their aptitude, and they had gone long past the ideal age range for cultivating Xuan Qi.

Aside from their unyielding will to fight, the main reason why they could achieve such great achievement lay in the great effects of the pills Jun Mo Xie had provided. The extremely difficult training they had undergone was also an extremely important segment!

Almost everyday was filled with exhausting training filled with the fear of death! Only under this sort of bloody training, where they had to constantly struggle on between the borders of life and death, could the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer attain their achievements today.

But even then, Jun Mo Xie never thought that they would be able to cultivate this rapidly!

“Looks like even you underestimated the effects of the Bone Tempering Pill.” Solitary Falcon glanced at him and continued. “Although the heaven defying effects of the Bone Tempering Pill mainly have effect on the bone structure, but you must not forget that most of the meridians circulate around the skeleton; the more coordinated the bone structure becomes, the meridians will also adjust and change accordingly... They naturally complement each other!”

Even Feng Juan Yun’s stoic face revealed a hint of smile. “After everyone took the pill and underwent intense training that confronted death everyday, every single one of them was juicing out the greatest potential in their body. At the same time as they went through hardships, they completed rounds and rounds of thorough change in their meridians! This way, their bodies experienced metamorphic effects through a different method. Although the natural endowments that used to hinder them from advancing in the past were not completely eradicated, they have been greatly reduced! If you check on their current aptitude, most of them are mid-tier and above, and some have even achieved superior levels! Thus is it not by chance that they attained their current achievements!”

“Then that’s great! They were originally restricted by their aptitudes, limiting the extent of their achievements. Now that they unexpectedly underwent a change in their bodies, allowing them to become more malleable, it really is good news, great news!” Jun Mo Xie was extremely elated. This sort of outcome was a surprise beyond his expectations.

“What about you guys? How is the progress?” Jun Mo Xie looked over to Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao.

“Earlier, we had picked out a total of one thousand children! When we were back in Tian Xiang, we had eliminated three hundred of them. After going through this period of training, we eliminated a total of six hundred and ninety five people! Currently, there is only a total of five people who are worthy of becoming assassins! After including Tian Can and Di Que, there is a total of seven!”

Leng Ao paused for a while before adding. “Asides, out of the few people Luo Yun selected from Tian Xiang, three of them were rendered useless during a mission, so they’re also considered eliminated... There are three more, and after adding them and the two of us, there is only a total of twelve people who have completely fulfilled the basic requirements of becoming an assassin!”

Jun Mo Xie nodded his head and said, “Twelve people, in other words, after excluding the two of you and Tian Can, Di Que, there are eight who were chosen. Not bad, not bad. To be able to pick out eight from one thousand, this sort of probability is already not bad! Looks like the two of you have a good hand at picking assassins! I am extremely satisfied with this sort of results!”

Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao exchanged looks, clearly surprised.

The reason why Leng Ao had hesitated when reporting was precisely because the number of people was too little. The two of them were extremely strict and would rather have nothing than go for shoddy options; after a thorough search, only these few could make the cut. They had thought Jun Mo Xie would throw a fit because there was too little people. After all, the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer did not have a single elimination in their members, but they did not think that Young Master Jun would be pleased with this sort of outcome!

Although Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao were prodigies of their generation, with exceptional talent and outstanding capabilities, and Leng Ao hailed as a disciple from the Supreme Assassin Chu Qi Hun, but they were still limited by their experience, and could not understand the logic of the ordinary impedition of life!

How many truly excellent assassins were there in the whole of Xuan Xuan Continent? Only big families who had undergone all the vicissitudes of life have and owned the method for the so-called nurturing of assassins would have one.

Regardless of family, nature, personality, habits, temperament, aptitude... to find someone who fulfilled the requirement of every single aspect was extremely rare! Not even one in hundreds!

One was not considered an assassin just because they knew how to kill! The requirements for becoming a qualified assassins was more difficult than picking top scholars in the imperial examinations!

Both Bali Luo Yun and Leng Ao were naturally gifted with exceptional cultivation and were even more sharp-eyed when it came to picking talents so they would be even more harsh in their judgement. But those young successors whom managed to catch their eye would definitely be outstanding and promising!

It was already a relatively high ratio to be able to get eight out of one thousand. Young Master Jun was an outstanding assassin himself, so he knew about the difficulty in finding people with the aptitude to become assassins. How could he not be satisfied with such results!

“These eight people... including the two of you, Tian Can, and Di Que will still need to go through another round of refining and elimination!” Jun Mo Xie slowly said. “It is never an easy task to becoming an exceptional assassin!”

He slowly said, “Do you guys know what exactly is an assassin? What does it mean to be a true assassin?”

Solitary Falcon and Feng Juan Yun broke out in uncontrollable laughter upon hearing this. But at the same time, Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao turned serious.

These two prodigal youths who were born assassins had understood the deep significance behind this sentence.

This was not only a test by Jun Mo Xie, but an extremely important lesson for the both of them!

So both of them knew that this was not a simple question, but a type of foreshadowing.

Because Jun Mo Xie would not let them answer it.

“Third Young Master, you are an amateur when it comes to this; from the way I see it, all the Xuan cultivators in the whole of the Continent are all assassins! Feng Juan Yun and I can be considered the talents of the world of assassins!” Solitary Falcon laughed and said confidently, his long hair swaying about.

But after he had finished his sentence, he noticed that Baili Luo Yun and Leng Ao looking at him weirdly.

It was a look of contempt and pity, as if they were looking at something ridiculous, watching a clown....

“What’s wrong with you two? Why are the both of you looking at me like that? Are the two of you rascals trying to rebel?” Solitary Falcon couldn’t help but feel infuriated. But afterwards, he began to feel sheepish under the stare of the two assassins. Did I say something wrong? Didn’t I say it pretty well?

“From the way I see it, there is only a total of two people who are qualified assassins in the whole of the Xuan Xuan Continent.” Jun Mo Xie looked at Leng Ao and smiled. “One of them is your master, the Supreme Assassin Chu Qi Hun!”

“And the other would be yourself!” Leng Ao said in admiration. This sentence was no flattery, but he had recalled what his master had said. It was practically the same as what Jun Mo Xie had just said!

When Chu Qi Hun had returned from the battle at Blizzard Silver City, he said to his disciple: “There is only one real assassin in this world! And it is the person you are currently following! Because even your master does not hold a candle compared to him! I am so much inferior to him!”

Back then, Leng Ao asked, “Why does Master have such high praise towards this person? I never noticed any potential of being an assassin from him.”

Chu Qi Hun gave a cold laugh and replied, “If you could see it, then is he still worthy of being an assassin? What more, the King of all assassins? Rascal, you are still green in terms of experience!”

Back then, Chu Qi Hun had only a couple of sentences before departing. “You can try observing closely; he will naturally be on his guard at any moment! Even when he is in the safest place, it will be the same, and this guarded state is not intentional, but out of habit—so habitual to the point that he couldn’t change it. Other than experts who are able to freeze time, no one would be capable of pulling a sneak attack on him.

“One more thing, he is capable of attacking at any moment! Similarly, this is out a habit—a natural habit! A habit that he can’t avoid! This... is only one of his talents, experience it well.”

These two types of opposite acts, attacking and defending, appearing on the same person at the same time, and constantly equipped with both skills. This sort of saying was not only ridiculous, but also even more impossible! But why did Master say such a thing?

Hence from then on, as long as he had the chance of interacting with Jun Mo Xie, Leng Ao would observe carefully. After observing for a great deal, Leng Ao found out, to his horror, that what his master said was actually the truth!

Two clearly opposing types of action had really been combined perfectly, responding perfectly at any moment, assimilating into the capabilities of his body alone! What sort of miracle was this!

No wonder when Jun Mo Xie was still weak in his strength, even when he used his killing blow, he still couldn’t assassinate him!

Jun Mo Xie smiled. “Some people think that an assassin should always keep an upright posture, standing like a javelin, and every single action must have strict discipline. Most of the time, they will forever be expressionless and be surrounded by aura of killing. Their eyes constantly eyeing others like an hawk, that assassins will have no friendship, no love/relationship, no kinship and no friends... because all of these will become their hindrance!”
