Death… And Me

Chapter 898 - This Is Just The Start

These things continued to happen as more and more people arrived in the sect and took residence in the building. Except for a scant few, no one understood why these people were being sent there. By the time the Zasfins came to visit Rean about the communication system, the highest cultivation they had noticed there was only at the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm, and there were only three people with that cultivation level.

The ages of the people who arrived at the building were all over the place as well. There were kids four to ten years old as well as old elders above their seventies or eighties. This only contributed to the mystery behind that new building. After all, none of those people passed through the sect\'s test. In fact, the next sect test was scheduled three months in the future, so that still wouldn\'t be the reason why they were admitted.

As one could expect, this was the building where Rean brought the elders of the Zasfins\' Formation Master Guild.

Once they arrived in front of it, they noticed the name on the board above the entrance.

-Soul Hall-

That name immediately made Larefin squint his eyes. Nevertheless, he didn\'t try to reach any conclusions since Rean would show what was inside anyway.

"Elders, please come inside," Rean said as he made his way past the disciples guarding the entrance. Of course, he told them not to stop the Zasfins either.

After that, Rean guided the group to a training facility where one could find most of the newcomers of the sect. They were all following a training schedule based on their age and cultivation. Surprisingly, even the elderly had their work cut out for them.

Of course, such a scene mattered little to the Zasfin. There was a bunch of humans, young and old, training there. So what?

However, Larefin quickly noticed one specific point that caught his interest, one orb placed at the very center. "Isn\'t that a Soul Measurement Orb?"

As soon as his words came out, the Zasfins\' expressions changed.

"Why is there a Soul Measurement Orb here?"

"Could it be that they captured some Zasfins and brought them here?"

"I can\'t see any Zasfins with my Spiritual Sense, though."

Rean simply smiled before looking at a woman who was the first one to take residence in the sect. "Sora, please come here a second." Obviously, that was her name.

Sora was a resident of Wonke City, one of the cities of Fausec Country. She was forty-two years old and had three kids. She was a housekeeper through and through. There wasn\'t anything remarkable about her before she arrived in Freedom Sect. The sect made an agreement with her, telling them that as long as she followed their request, her family would be sent to Freedom City to live there. Of course, with Rean behind it, Sora\'s family did indeed get what was promised. Sora immediately accepted the request since she and her family were ex-slaves of the Zasfins. Their conditions weren\'t very good, so she did that for her family even though she didn\'t know very well what the Freedom Sect needed her for.

By now, the sect had put quite some effort into her. This woman, who didn\'t even have any cultivation a month ago, was now in the Bone Enhancement Stage of the Body Transformation Realm. Since she could do that in just a month, it showed that even a few pills were added to her training. "Elder Rean, is there anything you need from me?"

Sora was feeling a little nervous and quite afraid. After all, she could recognize the Zasfins with a single glance. She was an ex-slave, after all. She worked for the Zasfins before arriving in Wringan Continent.

Rean nodded in response to her question, saying, "You were the very first result of the sect\'s awakening plan. As I explained to you when you joined the sect, all the humans on the continent will eventually turn out the same way. Don\'t worry. These Zasfins aren\'t here to take you away. They are here to watch your progress. Why don\'t you try the Soul Measurement Orb for me? Let\'s widen their horizons."

By now, the Zasfins had extremely unpleasant expressions. Could it really be that a human has Soul Power? Or better yet, the hundreds of humans in this place have it?

Sora sighed in relief when she heard that Rean wouldn\'t force her to go with the Zasfins, so she immediately moved to the Soul Measurement Orb. As always, the orb worked as it should before a result was shown over it.

-Soul Power, 37-

"What?!"

They did understand why Rean asked Sora to try the Soul Measurement Orb. After all, it could only test one\'s Soul Power. However, until the very last moment, they simply couldn\'t believe a human had Soul Power. "What\'s happening here?"

Rean then turned around before shouting out to the rest of the people. "Everyone, come here and form a line. I want you to test your Soul Power."

Sure enough, the Zasfins\' shock only increased.

-Soul Power, 28-

-Soul Power, 21-

-Soul Power, 29-

-Soul Power, 34-

-Soul Power...

"How\'s that possible..." That\'s the only thing that the Zasfins could think of when the last human tried it out.

Rean then snorted, chuckling as he said, "Hehe! This is just the start."
