The Rise Of The Destoyer

Chapter 3

Having reached the top of the tree, Han Nian twisted the young coconuts and dropped several of them, then climbed down slowly. He could feel his sweaty body aching and his veins stiff because he had not trained for a long time. "Starting today I must train my physique. I’m sure I can, I’m sure I’m capable!" He took one young coconut and looked for a piece of coral that was a little sharp, because he no longer had Qi, Han Nian could not take the sword stored in his ring. "Ugh, how refreshing!" He also washed his face with that coconut water, temporarily forgetting all memories so that his training would not be disturbed.

Han Nian swung his hand to punch, kick, elbow, kick again; he did that repeatedly. He was a genius child. Apart from his current shortcoming of no longer being able to use Qi, he had mastered quite a lot of hand-to-hand combat techniques, swordsmanship, even using a spear. He had also trained in archery, and his shots were quite accurate. Now with his existence unknown to anyone, then this was the best training on an uninhabited island.

He picked several more coconuts and dropped them, then looked for rattan, then split it a little smaller so it could be tied to the coconuts and hung on several trees. After finishing all the plans, he looked at the position of each of those coconuts. Then he used quick footwork. He kicked first until it burst, then moved nimbly up the tree and struck with his fist. After that, he jumped to another tree branch while running. There was no hesitation for him; even if he fell he would still get up. This was also useful for balancing his body.

The sun moved farther away; before he realized it, it was about to leave Han Nian alone in the dim light of the moon. "Where will I sleep tonight!" he muttered. He jumped onto a tree again and cast his gaze around before the sun truly changed. "There’s a waterfall over there. There’s probably a cave behind that waterfall. I have to reach it before night." Immediately he ran. Because his nutrition was sufficiently fulfilled with pure young coconut water, his running was quite fast. If one remembered his small and thin body, it would be impossible for Han Nian to run fast.

When the sun truly set in the west, Han Nian also arrived in front of the waterfall. Immediately he broke through and indeed there was a cave there. When he entered, many bats flew out because they did not like aggressive creatures like humans.

"It’s not too wide, but enough for a few more people to rest, but unfortunately I am alone right now. Friends who once worshiped me have now turned to slander. The woman who always said she would never forget me even avoids me when we meet. Cih, life truly feels unfair, but if it weren’t like this, I would never know who is foe and who is friend!" Because he could not absorb Qi, Han Nian immediately spread out the shirt that had previously become a tool to help him climb! And he closed his eyes. It took a few seconds for him to fall asleep.

In his dream...

"Where am I now? Why can I be in this room?" He did not know that he was dreaming.

"Hey, young man!" A soul was seen floating in the air, very transparent. "Who are you, sir? Are you the god of death who will take me now? But I am not willing if I haven’t been able to avenge my revenge. Can I ask for one more chance? After that, it’s up to you!" What was on his mind right now was only revenge.

"Hahahaha, circumstances have turned a clean heart dirty just because of revenge. True, I am the god of death. Be better and do not live through revenge, because it can close off potential!" That figure laughed while stroking his beard. "I can’t, god. If my revenge is fulfilled, maybe I can live in peace!"

"There is no peace without it being created. Revenge will always grow in the heart of every person, good or evil. Black and white are only colors. Stand between those colors, and moreover, erase revenge. Revenge can blacken the heart. I will give you power. Become the destroyer of falsehood who always thinks straight."

Han Nian was seen thinking for quite a long time. 'Should I forget revenge? But—it seems that is the only way to have power again. I will repay you all with the reason of fighting falsehood,' his inner voice convinced him. "Alright, god. I will forget revenge!" Han Nian answered without hesitation.

Swush! A blue-colored flame appeared in the palm of that soul. That flame jumped around as if it were alive and had its own life. "This is soul fire. All my memories of my training have been condensed within it, and I am sure that your destroyed energy center will recover with this fire. This fire is a gift of meeting and farewell. By accepting it, you can already be considered my disciple. Bury my crude body that is in that coffin!" Han Nian followed the direction of that soul’s index finger and found a coffin. "My message is only two: first, remain a good person. Second, take the ring on my finger. In it is a message for my family." That soul figure threw the blue-colored flame in the palm of his hand.

When it got close to Han Nian, that fire penetrated the little boy’s body, entering his dantian and residing there for quite a long time. There was nothing surprising after that fire was stored. Han Nian did not even feel warmth or other strange phenomena.

"I am happy to have a disciple at the end of my journey!" After saying that, the soul figure floated to the sky and disappeared.

A few moments later.

"Argh!" Han Nian screamed in pain. He writhed on the cave floor with a lot of sweat pouring out. The pain was extremely torturous. "Damn, this hurts so much!" When his dream faded or his consciousness returned to his body, the reaction of that blue fire was awakened. For almost half the night he screamed, and even his voice was now choked and he no longer moved or made a sound, because indeed he had already fainted.

In his dantian, now that blue-colored fire floated in the air without any pressure at all. It seemed to continuously absorb natural energy for its growth and increase its power, as well as memories of various techniques that had never been known appearing in his head with all kinds of advantages.

Boom! The aura in Han Nian’s body returned. He could feel an immense power, exceeding before at the same level. His eyes opened and he jumped with joy. "This isn’t a dream! My power has returned, hahaha!" Who would not be happy if they received an unexpected blessing? He thought it was just an ordinary dream.

Behind hardship, there truly is ease. "Now I am at the peak stage of the Energy Core Realm. Two stages jumped at once—truly extraordinary!" Han Nian walked deeper to check the cave corridor and remember the clues from his dream. "That’s the coffin!" he muttered and ran over, then knelt. "I, Han Nian of the Han Clan, revere you as a guiding teacher." He lowered his head and kowtowed three times. Then he stood and opened the coffin. He saw the cold, stiff body inside. "I will bury you properly, teacher!"

Han Nian closed the coffin again and ran out of the Cave...
