cultivate for revenge

Lightning Class

Qin Zhiyou started forming the hand signs, and a blue light enveloped his right palm again.

Then he repeated the same process.

The ball shone and then dispersed again.

"You can remove your palm!" Qin Zhiyou said when he felt that the crystal sucked enough class energy from Quin Qi's body.

Quin Qi removed his hand from the crystal ball, and soon after, inside the crystal ball, a dark cloud appeared in the center.

...

Outside...

The previously calm and hot weather suddenly disappeared.

"Swoosh!" a strong wind blew and swayed the trees.

Dark clouds appeared above the awakening hall out of nowhere. Led by the strong wind, the clouds formed a vortex. Vortex cloud!

When it first appeared, it was high above the Awakening hall.

It immediately covered the sky and blocked the sun, throwing a shadow on the people and children below.

Under the sudden changes, the children and the people below instinctively looked up at the sky.

"Is this the end?" One man said as he lifelessly fell to his knees.

"Father! Mother, will we die?" One girl asked as she looked at her parents. However, they did not reply. They watched with horror the vortex cloud getting closer to the top of the Awakening hall.

Many, be it children or parents, lost their voices due to fear and were just able to kneel and soundlessly cry.

"Could this have something to do with the awakening hall?! Is Quin Qi alright?" As he was leaning on the tree, he immediately jumped firmly on his feet when he saw the dark vortex cloud. After all, no matter how much deep thought he was in, it was still impossible not to notice this.

He was about to run toward the awakening hall, but his legs wouldn't move, no matter how hard he tried.

His heart was pounding like crazy.

'How is this possible?' Jong Ji thought, his eyes full of horror.

His legs were weak. He could feel that he was about to fall to his knees. Tears started flowing down his cheeks as the thought, 'Will I die?' came to his mind.

"No, I won't die!"

"Huuh!" Jong Ji took a deep breath. 'I need to calm down first. I am in the center of Moon King City, the main city of the Qin clan. How could the clan stay still if there was something like this happening? Everything will be fine. After all, there is still a master inside the awakening hall.' Jong Ji comforted himself with this thought. And it was not in vain. His fear disappeared, and he was able to move again.

However, he did not move even an inch. He remained in the same spot and watched the dark vortex cloud.

After the fear disappeared and he could think straight again, he felt mixed emotions.

His heart was aching at the thought that this would be his first and last time seeing an event from the world of cultivators.

His main objective in becoming a cultivator was to make money and provide his mother with a luxurious and comfortable life. However, he was still a child.

Just as every child had dreams of becoming a cultivator and standing at the top of the world, Jong Ji also had his dreams.

His dreams were not as big as becoming the most powerful existence in the world. He just wished for a little strength, strength to protect himself and the ones he treasured.

Despite feeling sad about being unable to become a cultivator, he also felt happy when watching the dark vortex cloud.

Happy because none of the previous generations who failed to awaken the class with potential has seen an event from the world of cultivators. Nor will they be able to see such an event for the rest of their lives.

"REMBLE!!!"

A thick purple thunder appeared suddenly and cut the dark vortex cloud in half, making it disappear as suddenly as it appeared.

The roar of thunder echoed through the Moon King City, alerting everyone before disappearing.

The weather returned to normal, and the sun continued roasting the ground and the people below.

"Swoosh!"

A figure appeared before the Awakening hall out of nowhere.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"

Right after the first figure appeared, another three figures appeared before the Awakening hall.

They all wore black hooded robes with a large white Taurus head at the back.

The figures appeared so fast that even the guard knights of the nobles were left dumbfounded for a moment.

Of course, that did not last for long, and after a second or two, the knights came to themselves. They immediately drew their swords again and were ready to act at any moment.

However, all four figures stood next to each other and stared at the giant iron door. There were no signs of any malicious acts towards the nobles.

They stared at the giant iron door for a few seconds before they looked at each other and nodded. They simultaneously raised their right foot to make a step forward.

Or that was what it looked like at that moment.

"Swoosh!"

Just before their right foot touched the ground, they disappeared from Jong Ji's sight.

No, they disappeared from everyone's sight.

The next moment, they appeared in front of the giant iron door, and only then did their right foot step on the ground.

The jaws of the parents and children who saw the figures "Teleporting" dropped. They were so shocked that they forgot to stand and were still kneeling.

Even the jaws of the guardian knights dropped. Immediately after, they retracted the swords back into the sword holder around their waist. Not because they saw the figures' goal was the awakening hall, but because there was simply no point in being on guard. The difference in strength was like the sky and earth.

If the figures wanted to, they could kill them with just a slap.

.

Jong Ji also saw the four figures "Teleporting." However, he was not as shocked as the others.

Even though he had limited knowledge, he believed there to be no way to teleport. He speculated that they were just too fast for their eyes to follow.

However, there was another reason.

Another, stronger feeling rose in Jong Ji and suppressed the shock. Jealousy

Jong Ji was not as shocked as he was jealous. Jealous of the speed the four figures had.

'If my class had potential, maybe I could have been this fast in the future. I would have been strong enough to make money and protect my mother.' He thought as his eyes watered.

The giant iron door was open inward, so when the four figures appeared before the door, their eyes met with Qin Zhiyou's.

...

A few minutes before, inside the Awakening hall...

As the dark cloud appeared at the center of the crystal ball, Qin Zhiyou almost instantly raised his head and stared at the roof for a few seconds.

As if he sensed something, he immediately lowered his gaze and looked toward the exit of the awakening hall.

He saw the outside darken as if a shadow fell on the Awakening hall.

However, Qin Zhiyou did not think much of it. Instead, he focused on the crystal ball.

One minute passed fast, and the shape of the dark cloud changed to that of a vortex cloud, but that was pretty much it.

'Is it another dark element class?' The man wondered, but he still carefully observed the vortex cloud inside the crystal ball.

He heard many citizens asking, "Will we die?" or "Is this the end?" so he wanted to take his focus off the crystal ball and look at the situation outside.

Just as he was about to do it, a thick purple lightning-like line appeared inside the crystal ball and cut the vortex cloud in two, making it disappear. The crystal ball returned to its original bluish appearance, indicating the completion of the class awakening.

"REMBLE!!!"

Just as the crystal ball returned to normal, thunder sounded outside. The thunder roar echoed outside for a few seconds before disappearing.

"Lightning class!" Qin Zhiyou exclaimed unconsciously, his eyes wide open.

However, his shock did not last long.

He frowned and looked toward the open three-meter (9.8 feet) high giant iron door.

Quin Qi noticed Qin Zhiyou's sudden change in expression.

Thus he also turned and stared outside from the inward-opened two-winged door.

As the Awakening hall was built two to three meters above the ground level, the only thing visible from the spot where Quin Qi and Qin Zhiyou stood were the trees and the cloudy blue sky.

"Swoosh, swoosh!"

Quin Qi just blinked, but when he opened his eyes, he saw four tall figures standing before the entrance of the Awakening hall.

Although Qin Zhiyou wanted to kill Quin Qi, at least for now, he must protect him. After all, there must be no incidents in the awakening hall of the capital city. Otherwise, the Qin clan will lose face, and he must not let that happen.

Therefore, he stretched his hand and placed it in front of Quin Qi. With little to no effort, he pushed him behind.

When Quin Qi stood behind him, he immediately entered battle mode, displaying his battle stance. Although his battle stance was a little unusual, he was ready to attack at any moment.

He had his right leg straight and was balancing on it. His bent left leg was in front, in the air. And his arms were hanging on the sides.

Qin Zhiyou carefully observed the figures and was ready to act at any sudden movement.

'I can't see through their cultivation.' He thought as he felt cold sweat all over his body.

Then one figure raised his foot and was about to step into the awakening hall.

At that moment, a fiery color enveloped Qin Zhiyou's body.

He tilted forward and began falling.

BAM!

Previously bent in the air, his left leg slammed to the ground. His right leg, on which he balanced, stretched straight behind.

All his body weight fell on his left leg and he tilted.

However, when all his weight fell on his left leg, the true power of the strange stance revealed itself.

Gaining power from the impact with the floor and the angle of his forward tilted body, he dashed forward.

He was like a fiery arrow piercing the air.

His arms were half-stretched and enveloped in flames.

Flooshhhh!!

A flame erupted from the elbows of both arms, which instantly gave his arms more speed and power. They fully stretched forward.

His fist was an inch from one of the figures.

"Stop!" A majestic voice came from outside.

However, it was too late to stop now. Even if the flames were extinguished, the power added from the strange stance was enough to crush a person with cultivation slightly higher than his.

Clank!

A sharp sound of metal clashing echoed in the awakening hall.

Qin Zhiyou was dumbfounded to see that his fist collided with the air.

His whole body bent, with his fist an inch away from the body of one of the figures. He looked up.

He saw the figure's face. It was the face of an elderly man with closed eyes and a gentle smile.

Qin Zhiyou immediately jumped three feet back and fell to his knees.

His forehead touched the red carpet. "Elder, I was presumptuous! Please punish me!" He shouted.

'What the hell is going on?' Quin Qi stood and watched the scene before him with his eyes wide open in shock.

He slowly and unnoticeably raised his right hand and pinched his cheek.

"Aww!" He let out a low groan. "It is not a dream." Quin Qi muttered and again slowly lowered his hand, revealing the reddish cheek.

However, no one seemed to notice Quin Qi's little actions, or they did not care.

The elders did not spare even a glance at the Qin Zhiyou. They hurriedly entered the awakening hall to hide from the curious eyes of the crowd outside.

Afterward, they removed their hooded robes and turned back, facing the giant iron door leading outside.

They bowed slightly and saluted, "Respect to the patriarch!" They shouted simultaneously.
