Death… And Me

Chapter 3106  Done Instead

Truth be told, neither Dancio nor Kuslau had any idea about how Rean and Roan got that strong so fast. They were supposed to have a longer talk after Rean returned from the Spiritual Canyon. Besides, Roan was still in the clan... or was. When Rean disappeared in the Spiritual Canyon, so did Roan in the clan. All Kuslau was aware of was that Rean saved his disciples and separated from them in the Capital. Since then, there has been no news.

Today, of course, the first piece of news arrived at Kuslau. When he was meditating in his yard, a Spiritual Sense reached him. At first, he thought it was one of the elders of the Clan since they had access to the Anti-Spiritual Sense Formations. One can imagine his surprise when he heard someone else\'s message.

Laica, who was curious about who this person was, brought Rean back to Kuslau\'s residence. There, Kuslau guided them to a room where no one other than Kuslau could use his Spiritual Sense inside. he wasn\'t alone there, though. He also called Dancio, who arrived faster than Rean and Laica did.

"Laica, you can go out. We have some business to deal with," Kuslau asked. He had no intention to tell Laica who the man ahead of them was.

"Yes, Master!" Laica obviously didn\'t complain and left straight away, closing the door behind.

Dancio and Kuslau looked at Rean\'s new appearance, understanding he probably \'used\' that pill from the Jade Slip. "So you are back, uh? I have to say, this pill of yours is quite impressive."

Rean smiled, and his appearance slowly changed back. He became smaller, and his hair turned white. Finally, he was the same teenager who entered the Gondel Clan long ago. "It hurts quite a little to change one\'s body structure, though. Well, my bone age can\'t be hidden that well, so I believe senior Dancio noticed it."

Dancio nodded. "Yes, I did. I\'m not interested in that, though. Just how the hell have you reached the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm?!!!"

Kuslau nodded vigorously. "That is just ridiculous. From what I can see, his foundation is also as stable as it can be. Was all of that thanks to pills? Even if it was, there was no such thing as Soul Transformation Realm pills in the jade slip you gave us!"

"Oh, it was no pills. I just cultivated very fast," Rean answered with a smile.

"Cultivated... very fast..." Neither Dancio nor Kuslau wanted to accept that bullshit answer. "Are you taking us for fools?"

Rean shrugged. "Well, I can sign a Soul Binding Contract and repeat these exact same words. I did sign one last time you interrogated me, after all."

Dancio narrowed his eyes. He obviously remembers how Rean signed the contract. He was the one who passed the contract to Rean, after all. "Are contracts of any use against you?"

Kuslau was taken aback. "Master, you are kidding, right? How could he nullify the Soul Binding Contracts?"

Dancio stopped Kuslau. "I\'m asking Rean, not you. Let him answer."

Rean put his hands back and walked a little, thinking about what to say. In the end, he just decided to confirm Dancio\'s words. "Oh well, if I say that I can\'t, Master Dancio probably won\'t believe it anyway. Yes, Soul Binding Contracts are pretty useless against me."

Dancio let out a breath of cold air. "So that\'s how it is... Was anything you said last time you left real?"

"Some parts, yes," Rean nodded. "However, I truly respect you, especially Master Kuslau. Before, I didn\'t really think about him as my Master. However, after his actions back in the Spiritual Canyon, I have to say I truly accepted him."

Hearing those words didn\'t make Kuslau that happy. "And yet, you disappeared for several months after escaping the Spiritual Canyon. Do you have anything to say to your master?"

Rean shrugged. "Master has to understand I have my own problems to deal with. However, I did not forget our promise. I told you I would go to the World Splitting Sect and learn more about Sword Intents before passing what I learned to you, didn\'t I? That\'s the only reason I\'m back now. I want to fulfill my promise to Master."

Dancio and Kuslau immediately got interested. They were both Sword practitioners, and they did reach that kind of agreement indeed. "So... you spent the last months in the World Splitting Sect, uh?"

"Not really," Rean shook his head. "My brother only stayed there for a few weeks. The following months, the two of us spent cultivating. That\'s how I reached this level. I can\'t say much about why we can cultivate this fast, though." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I would be lying if I didn\'t say I\'m interested in your fast cultivation," Dancio commented. "However, I have always trusted my gut feelings, and they say whatever you did can\'t really be copied."

"I won\'t deny that," Rean nodded. "In any case, are you ready? I\'m here to show you my Sword Intent and try to teach you more about it."

Dancio immediately took his Sword. "Whatever you are and what you intend to do matters not at the moment. If you truly keep your word about the Sword Intent, I won\'t ask anything else."

Kuslau followed suit. "The same goes for me."

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in satisfaction. "Leave it to me. Oh, you will want to release your Spiritual Energy barriers first."

Dancio and Kuslau got confused. "Why would w-"

Before they could answer, Rean\'s Fifth Level of Sword Intent was released. Let\'s just say they shouldn\'t have asked and just done as Rean asked instead.
