Chapter 108: Chapter 28: Confronting the Evil Demon
When the Enforcent Team surrounded Duan Mingyuan and Chen Chou as if facing a formidable enemy, the topic the two were discussing had already made new progress.
Chen Chou’s experiences and knowledge had inspired him greatly.
According to Chen Chou, his Barrier was innate, and the mont the Blood Sacrifice Ritual was complete, the ability to bring death was already branded onto his Life Energy. All he did was to use this Ability at will.
This piqued Duan Mingyuan’s interest in the Blood Sacrifice Ritual.
He had a pair of eyes adept at peering through appearances to see the essence.
According to his understanding, the primary purpose of the Blood Sacrifice Ritual, which sacrificed life, was to gather the sacrificers’ Life Energy through so ceremony and concentrate it on the newly born entity; Chen Chou’s Life Energy was thus built up from the offerings of the sacrificers.
Born powerful and inheriting the knowledge and hatred of the martyrs made them firmly believe that Chen Chou could carry on their will and seek vengeance upon the Extraterrestrials.
However, through conversation, Duan Mingyuan discovered that the people who conducted the Blood Sacrifice Ritual actually did not know what kind of creation the ritual would bring forth.
Everything was based on imagination.
This made Duan Mingyuan understand the despair of those who had been locked in the Ghost Prison by trusted friends, where even a glimr of hope was enough to make them abandon life and dive into the Blood Sacrifice Ritual like moths to the fla.
A cup of osmanthus wine was emptied, and perhaps due to not holding his liquor well, Chen Chou revealed so deeply personal thoughts.
Although he had always bad-mouthed the successive deans of the Cloud Sea Academy, he had wavered on the issue of seeking revenge on the Academy after escaping from the Ghost Prison.
On one hand, there was anger from the betrayal of friends, but on the other hand, he could understand the reasons behind his friends’ prohibition of the research into Tricky Art.
Especially after crossing hands with Duan Mingyuan, it beca clearer to Chen Chou that even the combined knowledge and Strength of everyone was not enough to truly shake "the heavens".
Reason led Chen Chou to realize that if it had not been for their imprisonnt in the Ghost Prison, the Cloud Sea Academy would probably have been flattened by the Imperial Court centuries ago, and would not have waited until the day Duan Mingyuan arrived.
What Duan Mingyuan valued was the connection of Life Energy brought about by the Blood Sacrifice Ritual.
Most of the students in the Academy were in the stage of intern hunters, with Life Energy so weak it could almost be ignored. In such circumstances, even he would find it difficult to make the students progress significantly in a short period of ti.
But if there was so way to pool the students’ Life Energy together, it could create a collective capable of rivaling Chen Chou.
This could potentially beco the key to the Academy’s last stand in the upcoming invasion.
Duan Mingyuan had applied for his team to focus on support and healing; he was more eager to see his students overco the crisis through their own efforts.
But the Enforcent Team couldn’t have arrived at a worse ti.
At the mont, Duan Mingyuan and Chen Chou’s conversation had just turned to the possibility of "expanding the Blood Sacrifice Ritual to the entire Academy
