Chapter 6 - Devour

"Ye Chen"

"14 years old"

"Awaken no ability but has unimaginable intelligence"

"An orphan living with his aunty"

"Then why are we given the tension to send any medicine needed for his treatment"

"Hmph he's not even someone important to the academy then what do special about him?"

This was a staff room in the crimson dawn academy, each supervisor or teacher has thier office to themselves.

This staff room was a little special as this was where the academy pills and herbs could be found. The security level here was high to the extent no one without permission could imagine of infiltrating there.

The pill supervisor was currently checking the information of Ye Chen using the academy information interface device.

The interface device requires only the teachers and other higher school members to be able to use it.

He was currently in a bad mood as he had been sent to deliver all sort of pills to a cripple, which will insensitively affect his gains.

"Principal Zhen heard that the boy from the star rift has woken up, so once you delivered today's set of pill, invite him to the principal's office"

As he was lost in his thoughts he didn't realize someone had entered his office until the person spoke.

"What?"

"Huh you can't invite him to the principal's office?"

"No…no I mean why would the principal want to see someone without status or ability"

….

[Alert! Alert! Alert!]

[Devourer intent would be leaked if host remains a mortal]

[Host only has an hour to become a cultivator]

"What?"

"The voice is real?"

"Who are you and what do you mean by devourer intent"

Ye Chen was having a mix of emotions has he was not expecting the voice he heard before was not a dream and now he already concluded the reason he didn't die has something to do with this voice.

[When the devourer intent is released the night sky would be open and all secret would be revealed]

[Host isn't qualify to know all yet, host only has to become a cultivator in an our to survive this ordeal]

"Why do you sound so mysterious suddenly"

"If you really meant to make me powerful then can you calmly tell me how I can become a cultivator"

Ye Chen was now confuse at the way the voice was sounding mysterious and only telling him to become a cultivator.

The voice didn't reply just as if it had disappeared again. Ye Chen really felt frustrated because he didn't know how to become this said cultivator even though he knew what they where.

"Wait teacher Wu said evil beast and magical beast devour the humans or themselves to become powerful"

"Do I have to devour human being and beast?"

"Bleh… that's impossible" Ye Chen had no idea what to do next as he remembered what he learnt in school but still that was quite disgusting for his young mind.

"What if I buy beast and cook it, that had be much more better than any other way"

Ye Chen immediately decided and quietly leave his home, aunty Meng had left him to prepare some dishes for him giving him the chance to successfully leave the house.

….

"The antler beast core is for sale and if you have a something equal in price we can make an exchange"

"Exchanging coin for beast core"

"Attributed beast core up for sale"

"Grand equipment and weapons are here!"

This was Ye Chen first time entering the market area. This place was where most cultivator usually visited because almost everything they needed is available here.

The place was bustling In activities as there were people exchanging thier goods with each other while others are still looking for customers.

[The devouring ability has been automatically activated]

[Beast has been scanned]

[Devouring would begin in 30 seconds]

[Host should find a serene place to proceed]

The voice that had vanish a moment ago resounded in Ye Chen mind at this moment making him almost loose his balance.

But what made him shocked was still the message he received but he had no time to think about what going on.

He didn't know the current ability of that voice so he better followed the voice instruction then later uncover the truth little by little.

Without hesitation Ye Chen ran into a corner where there was nobody passing by, as if that place was intentionally separated from the market.

[The devourer ability has been fully activated]

The moment that voice said that, Ye Chen felt a surge of strange energy flooding his body.

But the strangest part of all was the black light that began emanating from his body, the black energy began encamping him like a cocoon while the energy flooding him continuously become stronger and stronger.

….

"What!"

"Where are my beast cores"

"Who dares sell a fake core to this old man!"

"Nooooo… how did my beast core disappear"

The market that was bustling in sweet activities suddenly fall into that of a strange occurrence.

Panic fall into the people that are selling beast core as their beast core dissolve into dust without any warning.

….

Ye Chen had no idea he had just cause a crisis in the market as the strange energy was continuously been drawn to his body.

[Ding!]

[Host has achieved a breakthrough into the cultivation stage]

[Host status has been updated]

A black frame then strangely appear before Ye Chen while the black cocoon he was covered in began entering his body.

*Crr*
