Chapter 606: Chapter 582: Fate and Malice (Combined Chapter, 4K)
Strange memories appeared in his mind.
Continuing from the previous segment of memory.
Lou Yi transformed into a young beggar with extraordinary innate Spiritual Sense, brought to a secluded manor by a strange one-eyed elder in a black robe.
In this manor, the young beggar discovered many children around his age, all taught a mysterious painting filled with stars by the elder, urging them to understand it deeply.
After seeing this painting, a spark seemed to ignite in the beggar’s mind, and the world before him changed entirely.
When he saw an object, like a rusty iron sword, he could ’see’ fragmented images of its past use;
Walking through a certain vegetable field in the manor, he could ’see’ someone had been hanged there before;
Chatting with other children, he could sense their malice or kindness…
However, there was one person in the manor he couldn’t see through, the one-eyed elder in black robes.
The tall, one-eyed elder, after the children had pondered over the Star Map, took them to a garden in the southeast corner of the manor.
There, on the open ground, were placed straw cages, housing shiny crickets chirping ’chirp chirp’.
“Each of you choose a cricket, and compete in the battle bowl. The winner gets extra food, and the loser gets half.”
Hearing the elder’s demand, the children became nervous, rushing to choose crickets, fearing the best ones would be taken by others.
The crickets in the cages were of many varieties, such as ’Green Big Head’, ’Yellow Spotted Head’, ’Coffin Head’, all kinds.
Most children chose crickets either strong in physique or loud in chirp.
Yet the young beggar, guided by intuition, chose a small, grayish-looking cricket.
But it was this cricket that led him to win repeatedly over the following days, never losing even once, earning the title ’Cricket King’.
After the cricket battles, the one-eyed elder led them to cockfights, dog fights, quail fights, and even bullfights.
Everyone found that the young beggar’s intuition was exceptionally sharp.
No matter what he was fighting, he always seemed to choose the strongest one, which amazed everyone.
Through these relentless trials, the spark in the young beggar’s mind grew ever brighter. Many things that were once vague now became clear and distinct.
His exceptional performance aroused the jealousy of a child named Erhu, who killed his Cricket King and Chicken King during the night.
The young beggar, infuriated, brawled with Erhu, attracting a crowd of children who gathered, cheering, eventually drawing the one-eyed elder’s attention.
The one-eyed elder, with a gloomy expression, led everyone to a secluded part of the manor where there were two enormous cages.
In each cage was a huge beast, fifteen feet long, snoring like thunder.
Upon seeing the beasts, the children were so scared they didn’t dare make a sound, and then they heard the elder speak cruelly: “These two beasts, one eats people, the other doesn’t. You two pick one and enter the cage.”
Hearing this, the faces of many children turned deathly pale.
The young beggar was also very frightened, trembling all over. But he knew he had to act quickly.
So he tapped into the spark in his mind, starting to sense the two beasts, and then decisively stepped into the left cage.
Since he stepped into the left cage, the other child, Erhu, could only step into the right cage.
However, the beast in front of Erhu showed no reaction, while the beast in front of the young beggar suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a fierce glare, and approached him.
The young beggar’s heart was in his throat, his palms sweaty, feeling as if he was about to faint, but he forced himself to stay calm, holding his breath, not daring to move.
The beast circled him twice, then took no further action, returning to its original spot to lie down and sleep.
In the instant it lay down, the beast in front of Erhu leaped up, knocking him to the ground, followed by the sickening sounds of biting and chewing.
Not a few children wet themselves in fear.
The young beggar’s head buzzed, the spark in his mind exploding at that moment, even for the first time sensing some emotions from the one-eyed elder: indifference, disdain, surprise…
The memory ended abruptly here.
In reality, Lou Yi opened his eyes.
A vast amount of energy from the universe entered his body.
Part of it entered his mind, exciting the falcon to cry out loudly, continuously absorbing the energy.
Another part vanished without a trace, but Lou Yi suddenly felt his Spiritual Sense had grown considerably stronger.
The Martial Artist’s sixth sense was clearer than ever.
He looked at the Attribute Panel, noticing some changes in the description of his Divination talent.
Divination (Passive): Increases foreseeing and sensing danger, enhances manipulation and deduction of the cosmic mysteries.
Divination (Active): Performing divination on living beings or objects can yield some desired results; if facing a plot within the cosmic mystery, it can be counteracted or misled… usable once in a short time span.
The change in the Divination talent mainly added the term ’cosmic mystery’, somewhat similar to the Disguise Talent.
But with a different focus.
The Disguise Talent emphasizes deceiving and disrupting the enemy’s calculations, akin to passive defense.
The Divination talent, however, can actively misled and counteract the enemy. It is more professional and in-depth when dealing with the cosmic mysteries.
Lou Yi immediately began to divine Taiyi Sect’s prodigy, Fu Weiyi.
