The end of the First Trial Of Life and Death
--------------------
---General Pov---
In the waiting area where those who have successfully slain their assigned wolfs gathered and rest.
Many were injured and many were smug, Hyuk Weon Seong just finished his fight and was greeted by No. 17 with a smile.
Hyuk Weon was about to say something when suddenly the air in the entire area became heavy, Hyuk Weon and No. 17 along with the other students present shivered at the feeling and felt extreme bloodlust.
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
*Step*
They heard an eerily ominous step being emitted in one of the exit doors and when they turn to look at it they saw a kid with red hair leisurely walking with a slight smile, they shivered and shuddered at the sight of him but it was not him that made that it was the incorporeal Red Demon with pinkish hair that was floating behind him.
The Demon has a very ominous smile that reaches from ear to ear, with its sharp jaw and slightly out tongue.
He continued to walk but when he noticed the heavy atmosphere, Ryu remembered that he forgot to retrieve his [Intimidation Demon].
The demon quickly disappeared as if it was never there and the students breathed in relief at that moment they genuinely felt that Death was standing there and looking at them dead in the eye.
Even though No.17 and Hyuk Weon were gasping for air, he felt that this one is similar to his [Intimidation Qi] but much stronger and much more refined.
At that moment every student of the Cave of Latent Demon officially declared in their head that No. 68 was the strongest even No.17 and Hyuk Weon admitted it in their mind, though reluctantly.

After that little incident, the Senior Demonic Instructor arrived.
"Hmmm it seems that only 72 of you were able to survive"
He nodded at them and continued.
"You all have done well henceforth, You have been officially acknowledged as Demonic Soldier of our Divine Cult"
"BE PROUD OF YOUR ACHIEVEMENT!!" and
"By the order of the Cult Leader, you are to be rewarded by this"
The senior instructor then pulled out a Red pill from his robe and continued his words.
"This is the "Demonic Medicine of Ayu Kalpa", each of you will be given three pills by the grace of our benevolent leader."
"Absorb it immediately, I will give you 3 hours"
He looked at the other instructor and nodded at them and they immediately started to distribute the medicine three per student.
The Demonic Medicine of Ayu Kalpa is a Demonic medicine that provides 5 or 7 years' worth of Qi.
After receiving their rewards the students immediately started to consume them and started to absorb them.
---3 Hours Later---
Originally Ryu's body contained over 30 years' worth of Qi, it was because of the dimension hop between. While Ryu's soul was being integrated into his new body, his soul was unconsciously absorbing Qi and when his soul was able to settle on his new body it continued its unconscious absorbance of Qi, though it stopped when it reached 30 years of amount.
And after Ryu absorbed the Medicine his Qi quantity was now approximately over 51 years amount of Qi, if he learn high-level martial arts then he can be finally called a Great Demon or qualify to be one.
"It seems that everyone successfully absorbed the medicine"
"Congratulations everyone for becoming a step stronger"
"However that is not the only reward that our leader has bestowed upon you"
"Starting today your eyes will be opened in the wonder of martial arts, today you will have access to martial arts that many people would wage war on."
"Follow me"
And as the students followed the Senior Instructor with much enthusiasm they finally arrived at their destination.
They were greeted by a huge stone door with text on the top of it spelled as "Divine Vault of Demonic Sea"
A legendary vault containing the highest grade martial arts in the entire jianghu Murim, and one of the three major martial vault of the Divine Cult of The Heavenly Demon.
That three was...
Divine vault of Demonic Sea
Heavenly Vault of Demonic Sea
and
True Vault of Demonic Sea
Vaults containing Martial Arts that was valuable enough for people to wage war on once released to the public but none dared as current Murim was afraid of The Cult.
"This is the Divine Vault of Demonic Sea, a treasure of our cult and one of the most valuable place in the entire Murim, normally no one is even allowed to be alive next to it but the benevolence of our Cult Leader has extended far and wide that's why you Demonic Soldiers of our cult are to be given access to the vault"
"BUT!! Remember you are only allowed to be here only today and you are only allowed to pick one book, So choose carefully"

Ryu unlike many of the students of the Cave of Latent Demon wasn't in the section of bladed weapons instead he was the only one in the Fist Section, he didn't mind though as he continued to browse through the books finding a technique suitable for him.
I
The choices were quite hard as each and every book here is great but he can't find what suits him the most.
But then suddenly when he was skimming through he saw a relatively plain book collecting dust in the farthest corner of the shelf, he grabbed the book and looked at the title.
[War Fist of The Desolated Land]
A very interesting choice of title, Ryu then flipped the pages of the book and when he flipped through the fourth page, he finally made his decision to take this one.
Taking this one for him, Ryu walked out with a gleeful smile on his face.
