Chapter 28 - Mastering The Master

"... B A 5... # + v... D # x...""... 3 E 9... * Q ✓ ÷..."

Aaaah, what the heck is going on? Why am I seeing this weird stuff?

"Calm down, Hanzhou. Open your eyes!" a voice said."

"You can do it, so just do it already!" the voice said again.

I focused and finally opened my eyes and saw Lu-Li staring at me looking so worried. Lu-Min, the Lu-clan's doctor, and some nurses were just staring at me as if I were about to die.

I just smiled and said, "Calm down, I'm alright. There's nothing wr..."

What the heck—everything was moving in slow motion and I could hear the voices of everyone who were less than a mile away from me. I could even hear the sound of wind, birds, steps, footsteps, everything, and it was killing me. I felt as if I would go crazy.

As I tried to control myself, immediately I started seeing things that were happening miles away from me—the market, the academy, the mine, the pleasure house, the sky, untop of trees, side of mountains. I was seeing everything and then ~Snap~ it all stopped. What the heck, "Am I going crazy?" I said out loud.

"No, you're now a master cultivator and your senses have been highly upgraded and would need some time for you to get used to them. But mine wasn't this bad," Lu-Min explained.

Then Lu-Li added, "That's because he's not just a master cultivator. He is a Demon. And the pain hasn't even started."

What did she mean by that? The intense pain I felt just now was too much to bear, talk more about more. They kept staring at me and it was making me scared. I asked them what it was and they pointed at my forehead.

I ran to the closest mirror and saw a kite-shaped demonic symbol on my forehead and my left eye glowing red and leaking demonic qi. I started having a boiling feeling inside me. I ran back to where the others were and only one word could come to my mind and I said it out: "Help."

Immediately, demonic qi raged out of me, blowing my court away and pushing everyone and everything in it with force. I flew into the sky with demonic qi flowing around me. I fell unconscious and...

"...Where? Where am I?"

(You are in the other world. Lu-Hanzhou, welcome to The Demonic Realm.) "Incognito, is that you?"

(No, I am your inner demon. It is not possible for the outer world to penetrate this Realm.) "And why was I brought here?"

(To practice and master the Demonic art.) "Practice? Isn't there a shortcut or something?"

(Umm, you could kill a demon and drink his blood, but that would be too disgusti...) "So where is this demon so I could drink his freaking blood?"

(It is kind of impossible for a new demon like you to just kill a demon and drink his blood. Even if you could, that would be irritation...) "Shut up and help me find a demon."

I walked through the ruins of hell and all that was here was lava and weird-looking creatures with horns.

"Hey demon voice, what are those beasts?"

(They are demonic cultivators who could not master the powers of a demon and got absorbed by their inner demons.) "Hub, so inner demons just want our bodies, which means they are enemies. Hey demon voice, why don't you try to take over my body?"

(Because you are... you know... different.) "Was that a compliment or an insult?"

Demon voice told me that I could not drink the blood of the deformed demons so I had to find a human who was cultivating here. After a little time, I found a demon cultivating on a rock surrounded by lava. He seemed focused, so if I just killed him quietly, there would be no need for a fight. I didn't sense any energy from him so I could probably beat him... that is what I could have said if I was stupid, but since I have to follow the story, I just have to ignorantly attack. (Man, this book is weird.)

I used blood energy-burst to increase my speed and used a blood blade to slash out his head, but before I could, he held the blade in between his two fingers and shattered it easily. I tried to retreat by making it slow-motion with my Master technique to prevent him from landing an attack, but I couldn't control it. He then stood up so fast and kicked me away.

Now, I'm gonna die for sure. I tried to stand up and continue the fight, then suddenly, he smiled and asked if I was a new demon. I told him I was, and he said I could have just asked for his blood if I wanted some. (Oh, gross!)

I asked him why he would give me his blood for free, then he answered, "Why not? You almost used a master's senses against me when you just got your senses." He then said that he could ask the favor back in the future, that was all.

He put his arm in my mouth and forced me to bite him and drink his blood. (Ugh, gross!)

"Shut up, you dumb voice."

After I drank his blood, he strangled me and raised me into the air. His eyes were red like mine before, but this time, he had horns with a demonic symbol on his forehead which was scarier than mine.

"Remember, you would have to pay back the favor in the future. If not, I'll rip you apart," he said with a deep demonic voice.

He then dropped me on the ground and became normal again. Then he told me goodbye and went to continue his cultivation.

What the heck! I drank a demon's blood, so now I could get out of the realm. I went through a portal and came back to the earthly realm, or back to my body rather. I saw myself floating in the air and immediately fell down.

Ugh, this writer can't he make life a little easier for me?

(So now it's my fault?) "Wait... I know that voice."

(Of course you do, I am an...) "Mr. Uhn, what do you call it again?"

(Its pronounced Mystery writer.) "Ohh, Incognito."

(No, that's not what I said!) "Okay, okay, whatever."

I went to meet Lu-Min and the others and told them we had a problem.

"Yeah, we have to rebuild the court," Lu-Min said with a tired look.

"Who cares about that? I'm talking about my meat."

"We have more important things than that," Lu-Min said as he kicked me and gave me a letter.

I asked him what it was about and he told me that I am now part of the Jianxu Imperial Council, a council governing the general affairs of the Jianxu, made out of the richest and strongest cultivators in the whole of Jianxu. I asked him why I was a member, and then he explained that during our fight with the Dark Fog Sect, some cultivators of the Dark Fog Sect escaped and now the whole of Jianxu knows the story of how two cultivators of the Blue Moon Sect won a war against five thousand cultivators and captured their prince.

"What do you mean by 'captured their prince'?" I asked Lu-Min.

"Luckily, he had an upper realm artifact on him so the prince didn't die and now you can start the first phase of your plan," Lu-Min answered with a dark look on his face.

Ha! That is far perfect, now time to strike and begin my revenge.
