Chapter 149

Festival of Sins (I)

The people following us?

It was actually a bit of a reunion. Well, not a reunion, as we didn’t know them individually, but seeing as they were the former, escaped disciples of the Fire Sun Sect, I suppose there’s some karmic connection between us, no?

Obviously, they weren’t wearing the Fire Sun Sect robes the same way we weren’t wearing Spirit Sword Sect robes. Unlike us, however, who were just ‘barely’ disguised as merchants, they donned a far simpler attire: bandits.

It wasn’t just the attire, either; though Long Tao had planned on taking the kids and facing the lot following us, they just surrounded us early in the morning and demanded we hand over the tent and all our goods.

There were exactly nine of them–though six were just kids in the early stages of Qi Condensation.

Of the three, one was at the peak of Qi Condensation, one was at the middle of Foundation Establishment, and one had actually reached the Spirit Manifestation Realm!

Though, checking him out with the Creator’s Eyes kind of pulled back the veil of that mystique.

[–Creator’s Eyes Used]

[Target: Shao Lim]

[Age: 138]

[Talent: mid-Earth)]

[Cultivation Realm: Early Spirit Manifestation (Forced)]

[Cultivation Method: Hellfire Sun Mantra, Second Form]

[Cultivation Arts: Fire Sun Fist, Blazing Steps…]

[Traits]

[Violent (Rare) — prone to outbursts of violence, exaggerated by the instability of the cultivation method]

[Dishonest (Legendary) — sooner would the Dragons start falling from the sky than the person would speak an honest word]

[Deceptive (Rare) — well-versed in deceiving others]

[Abrasive (Common) — very short with people, especially those he dislikes]

[Torn Meridians (Rare) — due to the recent, forced breakthrough, the target has suffered severe wounds to his meridians, half-crippling himself in the process. Though the meridians will heal in due time, the target will never achieve another breakthrough in their lifetime]

[…]

[Assessing suitability…]

[No special Physique or Bloodline discovered]

[…]

[Recommendation: Due to the target’s innate lack of talent, the cultivation of an ill-suited method, and the recent forced breakthrough, it is recommended that the Host take no part in their fate]

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

[…]

[Final Assessment: A passing talent with extremely questionable methods and characteristics; can never cultivate beyond the current half-crippled realm]
