Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel - Chapter 238

Chapter 238: Fate and its ways (wild Untamed Master S-grade Dantain)
As the paw of the soldier boy’s spirit-cored beast was raised to the sky, everybody else knew what fate Dylan was about to meet.

However, just before the strike would hit, a loud shout was heard.

“STOP!!!”

It had come from captain Timi who was watching from the balcony.

The soldier boy paused and turned to the balcony in surprise.

Captain Timi frowned, “Dan! is that anyway to treat a fellow soldier?”

The moment the other soldiers heard captain Timi’s voice, they all saluted.

Captain Timi suddenly jumped down from where he was.

He walked towards Dan and then he shook his head, “Besides, it was a hand combat fight, and you lost! Now get inside!”

Dan frowned. but there was nothing he could do about it. He saluted captain Timi with his hand to his chest one more time before he turned and left.

Of course he gave Dylan one more side look before he left.

“And you too!” the captain turned to the soldiers watching, “all of you get out of here. We will be heading for the barracks in the morning. You all should get your shit together!”

They all saluted, and as they dispersed, one of them that had betted on Dylan snatched his money back.

After a while, captain Timi turned to Dylan, and then he presented him a hand, helping him up.

“What’s your cultivation rank kid?”

“I’m at the peak wood rank, sir!”

“Oh!” Captain Timi nodded his head, “and you were able to rumble with Dan who is at the middle stage of the stone rank. Impressive!”

This was a geniue compliment from captain Timi. After all, for every rank in cultivation one acquired, their body was bathed and strengthed in the spiritual energy of that particular rank.

Dylan was only at the peak of the wood rank and he was able to bring down Dan who was in the middle stone rank. Truly, it was an incredible feat.

“So how old are you now?”

“I’m fifteen sir!” Dylan replied respectfully.

Captain Timi nodded his head. For Dylan’s age, his cultivation rank was just about okay.

However, the next words that came out of the boy’s mouth made captain Timi speechless.

“I’m sorry! I know it’s not much. But when we were seven, we were too many, and Shaman Gordon could not get enough spiritual oil to activate our cultivation from the main temple in the capital city. He said that only a particular amount was produced every few years. It wasn’t until mid-last year that I acquired cultivation!”

It was like a bomb had gone off in captain Timi’s ears.

He did not want to believe what he had just heard.

“Only mid last YEAR!?” he repeated.

Dylan nodded shyly. He thought maybe the captain was disappointed in his cultivation level.

However, on the contrary, he couldn’t have been more wrong.

Cultivation took years for one to grow into it.

However, some short cuts could be taken.

For example, if a person had access to cultivation materials like herbs and the like.

Or if a person had a mystical encounter of sorts.

Just to be sure, captain Timi asked Dylan about the cultivation situation at the Shaman temple.

However, it was just as he suspected.

In other words, they was absolutely nothing special about it.

In fact, since the Shaman temple ran an orphanage, it was under resourced on cultivation materials.

The only thing it had in abundance which was the spiritual beast core that most if not all the orphans used was wild rat spirit cored beast.

Yet, Dylan had climbed to such a cultivation level in only under a year. Even with poor cultivation materials, this was incredible.

Captain Timi immediately grabbed Dylan’s hand and sent his spiritual energy into the boy’s body.

However, the moment he did, he frowned as his spiritual energy was kicked back out at him.

He tried again. This time around, putting a lot.

This time around the rejection even pushed him away and the captain nearly fell to the ground.

Dylan saw this and tried to help him out, “I’m sorry sir! I did not mean to do that! It just happened!”

He did not notice that the captain was looking at him like he was seeing a ghost.

“Are…are you alright sir?” Dylan asked as he panicked.

“You…you… you have an S ranked dantain.” Captain Timi pointed at him with a shaky finger.

Dylan nodded his head, “Yes sir! But Shaman Gordon said it does not matter. He said that if I don’t work hard, I’ll die like a bush crow. He said that they are many talents in the world and that he had seen as many come and many were destroyed.”

Captain Timi recovered his composure.

But he still swallowed hard.

It was true what Shaman Gordon said.

In a small clan like the Chikitsa clan, being a talent with an S grade dantain was an incredible thing. Even though it was true that only one in thousands had it.

But in a place like the Vandora kingdom that had hundreds of thousands of lives, it meant nothing. Unless of course one could take advantage of the forward baton life had given the individual.

However, Dylan was just an orphan at the corner of a great, big kingdom.

With his very low cultivation, lack of skills, lack of influence and lack of resources, he was nothing. Absolutely Nothing.

Captain Timi took note of this.

However, maybe it was FATE, but some how, Dylan had been led this night to this man.

After all, even while this fight was going on, other soldiers also stayed to watch the fight, and he was definitely not the only ranked officer in this inn. But he was the one that had butted into the fight at exactly the point when Dan would have turned Dylan to paste.

He was also the only ranked officer in this inn that came from the direct line of a major tribe in the Vandora Kingdom.

Even though he did not look like it, it was true.

Captain was what many would call a prodigal son.

Only that he did not run away to spend his father’s money, but ran into the army seeking adventure and thrill.

As one from a major tribe, he was even more familiar with the kind of S grade dantain that Dylan had.

This was the wild untamed master S-grade dantain…

This dantain had a special quality to it that went along with its name.

It was very wild. Not particularly aggressive, but the greater the adversity the stronger the person grew. Of course, this was also on the condition that the person did not give up the fight.

There were records in the main temple about a warrior of old times that was blessed with this S-grade dantain. It is said that this was the warrior that vanquished the snake king, Manu Madayaki into a foreign plane.

There was also another legend or rather prophecy about this that had to do with the coming back of the Serpent king, but that was matter for another time.

Just then a person ran over.

Dylan turned to see who it was. It was Deamon.

Dylan was surprised by this.

Deamon was about to ask what Dylan had run off the way he did.

However, before he could ask any questions, he burst into a laugh.

Dylan also burst into a laugh.

Both of them were laughing at each other’s looks.

Dylan had a swollen face from Dan’s beating and Deamon had a swollen head from Shaman Gordon’s attack through the window.

Both of them pointed at one another and laughed hard at each other until they fell on the ground.

Suddenly, captain Timi could not help himself but also get infected with the laugh.

Just as the three of them had their fun, the first crystal of snow fell from the night sky, signifying the beginning of winter.

Meanwhile, in another part of the kingdom, Chiron was also making his own research.

Since after the event in the meeting hall, Chiron had made it his life purpose to gather as much knowledge as possible.

Right now, it was late in the night, but he had not left the royal library.

Since coming to this place, a specific kind of knowledge had piqued his interest.

It was about totems and the legends that these people believe in.

He had noticed that history, tradition and prophecies govern these people.

Now, he was looking for ways by which he could exploit this to his own advantage.

Just then, he came across a particular book.

This book was on the major tribes and how they conquered a fierce king together.

In front of the book, was the diagram of a giant snake. This snake had three set of eyes on each side and it had wings.

Chiron frowned a bit, before he willed with his spiritual energy and opened it to read it’s content.

Just then, a maid walked up to his reading table.

“Prince Chiron! commander Hardstone said you should get ready. He will be leaving for the barracks soon!”
