Chapter 9: Ch 9: Becoming an Official Disciple
After killing the burly boy, Li Feng was easily able to gather enough blood from his corpse to fill the bucket. Then he took the full bucket and left the ground.
As soon as Li Feng went away from the corpse of the burly boy, the other children present in the ground madly jumped on the corpse and started to extract all the remaining blood from it. This leftover corpse was a great free gift for them and all the children were madly trying to get their hands on it.
On his way toward the outside of the ground, Li Feng came accross various bloody and terrible scenes. Li Feng had killed his opponent very cleanly but that was not the case for the other children. As none of the children here had any weapons, the way they fought each other was barbaric and brutal.
Li Feng saw the scene of the small boy biting the throat of a larger boy and killing him. Then as he was trying to extract blood from the corpse of the large boy he just killed, a petite looking girl hit the back of his head with a large rock and ended up killing the little boy too.
22 children had managed to survive the awakening ceremony. But after this brutal trial, that number would go down even more.
Li Feng thought that having even half of them alive after the end of this trial would be positive result. But he did not stay in this ground turned slaughter house to see the end result.
As the children had seen that Li Feng was a powerful martial artist and was a tough opponent, no one else got in his way while he was carrying the bucket of blood. Li Feng was relieved about this as if someone actually came to attack him, then he would need to kill someone else again.
...
After leaving the slaughter ground, Li Feng looked around him and saw the mission hall in the distance. The old demonic man had not mentioned where he would be to collect the bucket of blood, so Li Feng guessed that he would be found in his actual post, which was the mission hall. So he carried the bucket of blood and started to walk again toward the mission hall.
Just as Li Feng had guessed, the old man really was in the mission hall. Seeing him carrying the bucket of blood, he looked at Li Feng with his cold eyes. After looking at the blood on his fists and blood splatters on various parts of his body, the old man smiled for the first time.
That smile was terrifying and a chill again spread in Li Feng's body. So much so that he almost dropped the bucket full of blood. But fortunately he managed to keep his hands steady even with the chill almost freezing him.
Seeing this the old demon nodded his head with a satisfied look. Then he absorbed all the blood that was in the bucket and handed Li Feng a bag filled with various things.
After that he started to explain a few things to him. As an official disciple of the Blood Sea sect, Li Feng would be getting a private house.
There was a token inside the bag that he was given and this formation control token would allow him to control the formation of one unused resident of the outer sect.
There would also be another token which would act as his identity token in the Blood Sea Sect. But Li Feng would only be able to use this token after he had actually started cultivating.
As Li Feng was the first person of this batch children to clear this test, he would be given some preferential treatment. He would be allowed to choose a house on his own while all the other trial passing children would be randomly given one by the old man. There was even a possibility that some of them had to share a house together.
After telling Li Feng about his accomodation and identity token, the old man also gave him a brief discription about all the other things in the bag. He even introduced himself as a deacon of the outer sect, Si Lui. It looked like as Li Feng was the first person to pass the trial, this old man was at least a little bit impressed by him.
Li Feng was absolutely not happy with this attention but still bowed his head to this old demon named Si Lui to thank him for his explanations.
After that Li Feng took out a black cultivation robe from the bag and covered his body with it. Only after doing that, he discreetly left the mission hall exactly when another group of disciples were also going out.
Si Lui had already told him about the area where empty houses were, so Li Feng immediately started to walk toward that direction. At the same time, he also made sure keep a low profile and did not act as if it was his first in the sect.
But even with all his caution, Li Feng was still stopped by one male disciple on his way. But after seeing that his disciple token was brand new that man judged that Li Feng would not have any resources on him and became disinterested. So he left Li Feng alone but only after sucking some blood from his body.
Fortunately the amount of blood that was sucked was not too much and Li Feng was only slightly weaken by it. With his physique of a martial artist, this much blood loss was something that he could cope with. Li Feng also did not forget to imprint the image of this disciple too in his mind as a future target for his revenge.
...
After that first disciple, Li Feng fortunately did not encountered any other disciple on his way. After reaching the free residential area, he started to look around to find a good house. After some time, Li Feng chose a house that was located far away from the other houses in a secluded area.
This house was not very large but after living in an one room apartment as an university student for almost a year, Li Feng was already used to living in cramped rooms. Compared to that, this house was like a mansion.
As this residential area had many empty houses, almost no other disciples were here. So Li Feng was able to easily take control of the formation of the house of his choice with his formation control token. Then he quickly entered the house and activated all the available formation to isolate the inside from prying eyes.
