Chapter 105 Starting anew

"Orochi, I'm afraid that he wasn't able to make it out from the sealed trail which I've just given him. Yet you still have the guts to tell me that his willpower exceeds that of my limited imagination?" The Exalted Orochi said softly, his voice cold like the sharp tip of a sword.

Orochi gave Nightin a second look and prayed within his mind, come on boy, you can make it out of this.

Gwen didn't like how the Exalted Overlord was behaving, but what could she do against his overwhelming arrogance and position?

"You said that you were the one who sent me there?" A half blocked voice sounded off from behind the curtains, it was weak but clear.

"Young lad, do you perhaps have a problem with that? Not everyone has the chance to even take the sealed trails unknown even to me." The Exalted Overlord said calmly, no trace of regret could be seen as a pyramid appeared on his palm.

No one knows about it, but everytime he activates the pyramid to help someone out, it would result in him being in a weak state for about three years. This is the main reason why he wasn't willing to help Orochi initially, three years was just more than enough to fulfill many ambitions he had.

"Hahahaha, you really think that it was you who gave me the chance to awaken? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it was the pyramid which I'll thank instead." Nightin mocked as colour returned into his eyes, his purple pupils staring straight at the Exalted Overlord.

That man isn't simple, I can't see his appearance even with the Samsara law. Nightin thought to himself while he slowly stood up from the bed and stood face to face against him.

"Young lad, you should be thanking for giving you the chance to start once again, your unwavering determination and sharp senses has already touched the hidden spirit of this pyramid." The Exalted Overlord stated casually, his tone demanding an answer from Nightin.

"What gave me the chance to start anew wasn't your sealed trail, it was something which someone had left behind for me, someone which even you will fear and never hope to offend." Nightin said with resolution, his dominant arm was gripping onto his sword as he stared straight into his eyes which should be there.

"Orochi, this is the youth you have been mentioning to me throughout since just now? He doesn't even appreciate the effort I've went through just to give him that chance." The Exalted Overlord turned his spear towards Orochi who was thinking of a countermeasure to stop them from arguing.

"Hey, I don't give a damn about who the hell you are. But just in case you didn't understand me, I'll repeat myself once again for your pathetic sake. It wasn't you who helped me!" Nightin once again explained, but the sharp intent within his voice couldn't be hidden as his Life and Death Swords appeared behind his back.

The Life sword looked the same as it did previously, but the sharpness and the feeling of obscurity it possesses right now, was totally different from before.

The same applied to the Death sword, the thing which caught their attention was that both swords were actually standing alongside each other.

"Not bad young brat, you've actually managed to combined both the Life and Death swords of yours together, the difficulty would already be akin to that of my third Astral being formed." Gwen chuckled from the side as stars once again formed behind her.

The stars took on the form of a bracelet before Gwen put it on, while she did so, she explained "Don't look down on such a bracelet, it actually helps to increase my cultivation speed by two times and recovery speed by ten times during battle."

"How is that even possible?" Nightin blurted out as he thought about his Life and Death swords, what if he could make them assist them as accessories as well.

Nightin lowered his pride and asked Gwen politely "Evil Lord Gwen, would you mind teaching me on how to achieve what you just did?"

"That'll depend on your performance." Gwen said as she vanished all of a sudden.

The Exalted Overlord wasn't bothered by Gwen and her small actions and instead asked Nightin "You said that it wasn't my pyramid which helped you? Then get ready as the recovery process should begin now."

When Nightin dived into his body to see what's going on within, he saw his meridians linking back together and his muscles were relaxing before tensing up throughout the recovery process, the spirit energy within his body calmed down as they started to gather back, where his spirit core had once laid.

Nightin broke out in a awkward smile as he managed to squeeze out a few words from his mouth "Ok... I was at fault alright? Your pyramid may be helping me to recover right now, but it wasn't the pyramid which brought me back to my senses."

The Exalted Overlord hesitated for a moment on what to say, his current thought was, just what exactly brought him back to his senses?

"Young lad, aren't you curious as to just why I was willing to help you?" The Exalted Overlord stated casually.

"Senior, is it perhaps because you see that I'm a great talent and wish to take me in as your disciple? I'm sorry, but I would have to refuse if that's the case." Nightin replied politely, but his calm posture even when facing someone of a revered position caught his attention even more.

The Exalted Overlord then told Orochi "I would like him to start from the lowest rank of first grade student."

Orochi lowered his head and answered "Very well, I'll do as instructed on this, I'll explain the rules to him as well."

Orochi took out a manual from somewhere and threw it towards Nightin while saying "Follow me as I introduce you to where I'm going to bring you next."
