  A Scythe!

  Ding!

  Process completed.

  Please name your weapon.

  “Soul Reaper.”

  Got Origin Weapon, Soul Reaper Scythe (Sealed)

  Normal Soul Reaper Scythe (Sealed) (0/10): Absorb 10 Mortal Weapons to unseal part of the power.

  That’s it? Where is the super Origin Weapon... it is just a normal scythe now? What you do expect me to do with it... it will break with how weak it is!

  Got passive skill Scythe Wielder.

  Scythe Wielder Lvl 1/ 100 (0/1,000): 1% damage when using a Scythe.

  Do you wish to use 10 Mortal Weapons to upgrade Normal Soul Reaper Scythe?

  Uh? When did I have 10 Mortal Weapons? Shi Yin’s space ring! Hahaha how could I forget about this! Great!!!

  “Yes.”

  Upgraded.

  Mortal Soul Reaper Scythe (Sealed) (0/50): Absorb 50 Profound Weapons to unseal part of the power. Form 1: Scythe two-handed, Form 2: One small scythe in each hand. Power 1: Every 10 hits on the enemy absorb 1% lifespan. Power 2: Devourer, consumes the enemy weapon slowly until it gets absorbed.

  Finally! This is what I call a weapon, hahaha, amazing! Simply amazing! Who cares if I am poor, I will fight everyone and eat their weapons. The passive skill is also great, “System spend all the XP on Scythe Wielder.”

  Success.

  Scythe Wielder Lvl 10/ 100 (0/11,000): 10% damage when using a Scythe.

  Great! Now with armed with my Scythe, I have close to 2,000 jin strength! I can finally kill a Qi Refining stage 1st rank without any problems! Hahahahaha.

  Many beasts in the forest were restless these days, they tried to hide in caves, some beasts even jumped on the rivers and disappeared, one beast went insane and ran out of the forest, even a small beast tide was formed emerging from a group of dense shrubbery. It was said in the Dark Wood Forest an ominous beast appeared killing everything on its path. Some people said the beast was twenty meters tall because every path had its trees broken to pieces, others claimed the beast was small with two black fangs, yet no one could find the beast. The only thing that remained in the forest was an incredible aura of death. No one dared to adventure inside for fear of being killed.

  “Senior brother, are you sure it is a good idea to venture inside the forest? I'm a little bit scared, there has been too many horrible rumours about this forest,” said a young girl while peering into the forest.

  “Junior sister, how can you be scared so easily! In one year and a half, we will join the sects trials at Imperial City! We are already at Mortal Realm, 8th rank and yet you are scared of such a forest. Let's go, senior brother will protect you.” The young man was putting on a facade, he liked this girl since he was a little boy, deep inside his heart he was scared, he was cursing at himself for bluffing in front of his brother.

  The young man and young lady were walking together, getting closer to the forest entrance... a small figure could be seen leaving the forest... The young man and the young lady’s legs trembled, both of them shivered scared...

  “A mummy!!! Run!” They both ran as fast as they could to the city.

  I scratched my head with my hand, hey, I'm just a kid with some bandages is there a need to overreact like this?

  Chapter 35

  Slaves

  It took me awhile to get inside the city, the guards were hard to convince. After they saw one of my wounds they believed me at first sight, they thought I was some kind of evil demon, sadly they didn't attack me or I would have had two bodies to heal with. My appearance wasn't helping me at all, people who saw me were getting scared.

  “Excuse me, do you know the way to the shop?” I asked a rough looking man I had just found on a corner.

  He looked at me with a strange face, he pointed with his finger in what seemed like a random direction somewhere towards the city.

  “Thanks.”

  Roughly one hour later I found a street full of shops, they sold weapons, pills, pets... too many to count. No wonder Moongate City is a Lvl 2 city, what a difference from Skyfall City.

  “Hurry or we will be late to the show. Someone has captured the Nine Flowers,” I heard a youth saying running near me excitedly.

  Oh! I will go and watch. These past seven months the only thing I did was enjoy killing beasts, something to entertain me... It will improve my mood a little bit. Who knows maybe I can absorb some death points.

  I also rushed in the direction the youth was running, when I reached there I was expecting to see something similar to the execution ground instead there was a lot of people bidding.

  “100,000 gold,” shouted an old man who was barely alive, he seemed to be possessed. On the stage there were nine beautiful women, they remained dressed only in their undergarments and hell yeah, they were alluring and provocative, still, they were nothing close to Shi Yin. There were a lot of different emotions on their faces, shame, regret, vengeance. Oh, they have a nice cultivation... They looked to be in their mid-twenties, all of them were at the Qi Refining stage, four at the 1st rank, three at 2nd rank, two at 3rd rank.

  “One low spirit stone!” shouted a young man.

  “Look it’s Young Master Chen.”

  “No wonder he is so rich. Who would spend a precious low spirit stone on nine women?”

  “Right right! With one low spirit stone, I can try to break through to the Qi Refining stage, alas I have no hope of getting one.”

  The crow started to discuss about this young man who just bid for the women.

  So, the spirit stones are quite precious, I have 3,234 low spirit stones. Sigh, it seems in this world women are treated quite badly, as they say, ‘if you have the power, then you make the rules, if you don't... then shut up. ‘

  Ding!

  Quest #3: Obtain the nine women. Rewards: Active Skill - Death Soul Seal.

  What? System, why the hell do I need them for?! Reward! Could it be... The amazing skill to enslave people’s souls?

  Without thinking any further, I raised my voice as loud as I could,

  “Five low spirit stones!”

  “Hissssss! This kid is crazy bidding against Young Master Chen, he’s filthy rich!”

  “That is a death wish for the poor kid... no one gets a good ending when they go against Chen...”

  Young Master Chen gritted his teeth, “Ten low spirit stones.”

  “Kid I don't know where you popped up from but I'm warning you, stop bidding and give me face,” He said proudly.

  “Face?! Scram!! Twenty low spirit stones.” Who the fuck is Young Master Chen? Like I fucking care about him... I have a quest and I need to complete it.

  “Kid you really have a death wish!” He walked step by step arrogantly until he stood in front of me, I couldn't help myself but laugh.

  “Is this all you have? Empty talk? What are you going to do? You can't bid anymore and now you resort to violence. Is this the so great and mighty Young Master Chen?”

  Young Master Chen’s face was full of rage, no one has ever shamed him like that, his grandfather was an important member of the city, he was a member of the council. What could he do, even if his grandfather held a high office this does not mean he was as rich as he was. Being thirteen years old and having ten low spirit stones was considered a great wealth, but this boy in front of him continued to embarrass him.

  Young Master Chen finally made his move, punching the kid in front of him, the crowd sighed, some of them turned their face, a Mortal Realm 8th rank punching a little kid whose age didn't reach seven or eight years old? The kid was going to die... no one wanted to see a little kid die.

  BOOM!

  As expected the kid died… Huh? The crowd was stupefied, the kid is alright? Where is Young Master Chen? They kept looking around until they found a tattered young man with his face disfigured, his nose was broken, his teeth were gone.

  The crowd looked at me, In some faces I could see fear, some displayed admiration and some were clearly thinking, What a mo
nster.

  “Tsk, if it wasn't because I'm new in the city, I would have killed him already. Consider yourself lucky Young Master Chen.” I looked at the auctioneer smiling, he got my meaning right away.

  “Congratulations for winning this Nine Flowers Young Master...”

  “Ye,” I added.

  “Congratulations, Congratulations, it’s a pleasure to make business with Young Master Ye, if Young Master has time maybe he would want to take a look at the Moon Auction.”

  I gave the auctioneer the twenty spirit stones and I looked at my new nine flowers.

  “Dress them.” I said as the master of the nine beauties. It was fine for me to see them naked, but not for the rest of the world.

  Ding!

  Quest #4 Completed.

  Obtained Death Soul Seal.

  Death Soul Seal: Places a Death Soul Seal on the other party. Only able to place the seal if the opposite party soul is 1 layer below host soul. If the other party disobey or try to harm the host, the Death Soul Seal will extinguish the opposite party soul.

  I got a skill that I cannot level. That sure is strange. Why would the System give me this skill just right now? It's been many years without any kind of Quest. Something seems fishy...

  Chapter 36

  Terror

  I had to book a big room for us to settle in, one little kid and nine young beautiful women, a truly strange sight, hahaha. Many people looked at me with envy. I have to say that I was beginning to like this kind of world...

  “Little kid release us!” Yelled one of the women.

  “Let's see if I got this right...” I muttered, the woman who just yelled started to get pale

  “Kid wait we can talk...” she dropped dead on the floor.

  ​Ding!

  Normal Human. Qi Refining stage, 1st rank. +300 XP.

  Death Core + 1.

  Death Points + 44.

  “Found it! I wasn't sure if this was her token or yours,” I said looking at the woman next to the one that had just died. “After all, I'm a little kid and a little dumb, the slave seller explained many things for me to memorize,” I said smiling teasing the eight remaining women. “Now please be quiet and shut up, got it?”

  The eight women’s complexion paled a little bit, and nodded with their heads.

  In this world slavery is quite common, the slave seller gave me a total of nine tokens, one for each woman, I only need to crush one and the woman linked to that token will die. These tokens are made by a Two-Stars Array Master, there is a formation placed around their hearts unless they reach the Core Foundation stage, or until they are a Two-Stars Array Master, it's impossible for them to break this restriction. If they were to reach Core Foundation I will have to find a Three-Stars Array Master to upgrade the restriction on them. Normally the slaves have no background, or the force behind them has been annihilated, this way no one is willing to help a slave remove its restriction since it will offend the owner. Nevertheless, this kind of restriction is a bit pointless to me, I can just use Death Soul Seal on them.

  “System, refine the corpse.”

  Refining...

  The eight women got scared, some of them started to puke, the youngest one peed herself, they could see their friend getting reduced to a viscous piece of meat on the floor, they looked at the little kid with fear in their eyes, this kid was a monster, too ruthless! They vowed in their hearts to serve him, this finality was worse than death!

  Complete. Remaining bodies 9.

  Strange the System didn't care at all they died or not... uh, so weird. Bah! Anyway I can't use Death Tempering until my body is fully fixed, killing so many beasts in the forest gave me enough Death Points already to breakthrough to the 8th rank. I need to hurry to heal myself. I could kill all of them to heal myself... wouldn't that be a waste though? I spent twenty low spirits on them, besides I will still lack a body.

  I jumped and took a look at the eight beautiful flowers left. Oh, the two Qi Refining 3rd ranks are the younger ones.

  “Are you twins?” I asked, they really looked alike.

  “Yes...” They were scared by my sudden question.

  “Then it’s decided you are lucky.” From my inventory I grabbed six tokens. I smiled at the two twins. “I hope I got the right ones...”

  Five women kneeled pleading for they life, I could see their tears, their faces white as paper. Honestly, I didn't care, the moment I bought them they were property, they had no human rights at all. Someone, instead of killing them, wanted to play with them... that’s why they got sold... I crushed five tokens. Five women dropped dead.

  Ding!

  Killed 3 x Normal Human. Qi Refining stage, 1st rank. +300 XP.

  Killed 3 x Normal Human. Qi Refining stage, 2nd rank. +450 XP.

  Death Core + 5.

  Death Points + 364.

  “Refine them!”

  Refining... Complete. Remaining bodies 3.

  The two young twins couldn't stand it and puked, their minds were totally in a chaotic state, “...this kid is a monster, lunatic.” Once they were two proud girls who thought with their young ages and their beauty they could conquer and play with any man to get all their resources. All the benefits they have won over the years were spent on getting stronger. They had a decent cultivation, at twenty years old their talent could be considered above average yet in the end, they were captured and sold. The truth was hard to accept but in front of seeing their friends getting dissolved by a child's hand, seeing how they slowly melted was too terrifying for them, accepting the truth was nothing compared to that! If before they had vowed in their hearts to serve him, now this vow reached the level of insanity, both girls minds and hearts were totally devoted to him, any thought he had, any little wish anything! Serve him and fail? End like their friends or worse? That was not an option, this was much too terrifying.

  Not bad, I only have some minor injuries, I can stop being a mummy and hiding behind my bandages, the clothes will be enough, I thought as I examined my injuries.

  Both women saw their new master undressing and removing his bandages, the first thought it popped up in both women heads was 'handsome boy,' the second, ‘serve him and don't fail.' They immediately understood, both women undressed and rushed to their new master.

  I was stunned watching two beauties running fully naked to me. What the hell is wrong with these women?

  “Master, we are ready to serve you!” Both women stood proudly showing their alluring body. Trying to be as sexy as they could.

  “What are you both doing? I'm just changing my clothes. I'm only seven years old... what are you two thinking...” I grinned at them.

  Both sisters looked at each other... their faces started to turn pale... they kneeled down and said in unison, “Master, punish us!” Their voices were shivering.

  I was a little confused, what a change in the attitude. Before they were complaining and now they are so willing to serve, maybe they have some kind of fetish.

  “Get dressed, we are going out.”

  Chapter 37

  Troubles

  “We are ready Master,” both twins said.

  “Come here,” I commanded.

  I used my skill Death Soul Seal on both of them, it seems their souls were too weak and I had no trouble using the skill on them. I could feel a connection in my mind with both of them, it was like I could feel what their souls felt at every moment. It was as, if they were to have bad intentions toward me I could activate the seal and extinguish their souls immediately.

  “I used a seal on your souls, if you betray me you will die and you will not be able to reincarnate at all. I will now release the array, sealing both of your hearts.” I destroyed the array, sealing their hearts. My Death Soul Seal was all the way their soul so I was capable of fully controlling theirs. It would be a little troublesome if they managed to reach the Core Foundation, or ask for help from a 3-Star Array Master, but I wasn’t too concerned.

  “You will soon understand that bein
g bought by me was a great chance that heaven bestowed to you both, hehe.” I guess I look really cool right now, hell I have two personal followers, now twins, and both beauties hehe... when my little brother works... I should name them... I looked at both beauties—they were identical.

  “You from now on, you will have your hair tied, you will be named Shu Yi.” I looked at the other twin, “As for you, you will be named Shu Er.”

  “Yes Master.” replied both of them at the same time.

  “Okay now that both of you are settled, let's go out. I need to buy some supplies and get some books.”

  I sent Shu Yi and Shu Er to look for information regarding the execution grounds, I also instructed both of them to collect Qi Refining corpses. I gave them each 100 low spirit stones and two mortal weapons; they liked the two swords I had. I am a great master, hahaha.

  Warning: killing intent detected!

  Huh? Strange I didn't offend anyone in this city and someone wants to kill me already? I expanded my soul trying to locate who was directing the killing intent towards me... After a few seconds, I had already found it, a middle-aged man at the Qi Refining stage, 1st rank. I better lure him to somewhere quiet. Today is my lucky day haha! They are sending people to heal me.

  “Here is fine, so who sent you?” I already had an arrowhead loaded and infused with poison in both my hands, oh, the trivial Qi Refining stage 1st rank, haha he came to die!

  “You are not a normal kid eh! So what! Today you will die...” said this middle-aged man in front of me with an air of confidence.

  I released both arrows aiming at both legs; two arrowheads flew from my hands at the speed and with the strength of a normal Qi Refining stage 2nd rank. My Deathly Fighting Foundation was already at the Origin stage, amplifying my strength by 100% coupled with my 7th rank Mortal Realm of my body intensity I had around 2,100 jin strength, not to mention my amplifier of 30% from my passive skill Throwing Weapon. The only strange part about Deathly Fighting Foundation was that the System said it was possible to evolve but that I did not meet the requirements for some reason.
