Incredible Talent - 352

Zhou Fan repeated his actions and created a fan for Feng Liu that looked exactly like the one on the wall. He then explained what a growth weapon was and how it worked.

Before long, Zhou Fan and the children went back to the same building with the pillars. When they arrived, they saw Ying Xiong and Tong, now back to their normal appearances.

"This is all I can teach you right now. Now, go to Ying Xiong and Tong and cultivate more." Zhou Fan said as he patted the children's backs.

Unwillingly, they went back to Tong and Ying Xiong.

Ying Xiong ignored their reactions and brought them away once again to begin another session of cultivation. Zhou Fan expected that they would be in the foundation establishment realm the next time he saw them.

Zhou Fan went back to his mountain and entered his courtyard. As he was walking back to his fishing spot, he sensed something and reached out with his hand. 

As he pulled back, a ten year old child was held by the arm. When the child saw Zhou Fan, he kicked at him and twisted his body skillfully to escape, but his strength accomplished nothing.

Zhou Fan flung the child to the ground, and the child soon stood up at him, looking at him with cold eyes.

"Who are you?" The child asked with caution, and what seemed to be a bit of arrogance.

Zhou Fan ignored him and asked a question of his own.

"What's your name?" Zhou Fan asked.

"Don't have one, now answer my question." The child said, acting threatening.

Zhou Fan had experience dealing with this type of person, so with a backhand, the child crashed into one of the courtyard walls. 

Of course, everything except for the child was unharmed. The child rubbed his wrist, it was broken.

Still, despite having a broken bone, the child did not appear to be in pain.

"Tell me about who you are and where you are from." Zhou Fan said.

The child, no longer daring to act arrogant, nodded his head unwillingly and sat down.

"I was born as a part of an assassination organization. There, one only gets a name after killing someone. I've spent the last 3 years honing basic techniques, and only began to cultivate a little more than a month ago. My teacher, the leader of the assassination organization, said that my talent was unparalleled throughout the universe." The child slowly explained.

"He was right. It was as if you were born to be an assassin." Zhou Fan agreed.

The child silently watched with wariness and coldness.

"With your talent, staying in an assassination organization with a leader only at the space shattering realm would be a waste of your talent. Join the cosmic sect." Zhou Fan said, leaving no room for negotiation.

He would not usually act in such a way to a child, but the child had essentially 0 emotions, and no hint of childishness was anywhere around him.

Although he said that a person in his organization only got a name when killing someone, that was not technically correct. After all, it was clear that the child had killed more than 1 person before. 

It was more accurate to say that one only got a name after completing a mission. Although the child's eyes were filled with wariness and coldness, he actually did not mind the situation.

For someone to grab him in front of his master, they had to be incredibly powerful. Coincidentally, he had been talking with his master right as Zhou Fan grabbed him.

Joining such a person's sect was something that he was not necessarily opposed to. Although the assassination organization had already trained the emotions out of him, they had not had time to brainwash him into loyalty.

"Are you one of those lesser dao creation realm cultivators?" The child asked Zhou Fan.

"You're thinking too small. Have you heard of Ying Xiong?" Zhou Fan asked.

"That legend? I've heard the same thing as everyone else. Unparalleled, unmatched, and so on." The child responded.

"I could kill him with a thought." Zhou Fan said.

The child did not fully believe him, but he did not really care either. Even someone at the lesser dao creation realm would be enough for him.

"Pick a name for yourself. Quickly." Zhou Fan said.

The child thought for a moment before responding with the first thing that entered his mind. He did not care about a name.

"Hei Ren." He said.

Zhou Fan nodded. He reached behind his back and pulled out a dagger.

"This is a growth weapon. It suits you. Put a drop of blood on it." Zhou Fan said.

The child nodded and poked his finger with the dagger. It was soon his.

"You will be my personal disciple for the foreseeable future." Zhou Fan said.

He was only a half teacher to the other two children, but Hei Ren was more in line with Zhou Fan's personality, and not to mention, mature.

The child nodded.

Zhou Fan canceled his fishing plans and began to instruct the child.

"Firstly, you should know exactly what you are. Your affinities are Darkness Qi, Clear Qi, Shadow Qi, and incredibly, Black hole Qi." Zhou Fan explained. "Your meridians are at the immortal god 10 rank, 2nd in the universe if you don't include me."

The child nodded. He had received more information in a few seconds than he ever had from his master, or his old master.

His old master only noticed his affinity to Darkness Qi and Shadow Qi, but he could not even tell the rank of his meridians.

"You also have a divine physique. It will help you on your assassination path. Along with all of that, you have an emperor rank dagger talent. Consider me completely impressed. I will thoroughly train you until your fellow cosmic sect members come here again." Zhou Fan said.

Seeing that Zhou Fan had stopped speaking, the child spoke.

"Master, what exactly is the cosmic sect?" He asked. He had never heard anything about a cosmic sect, but his master was clearly extremely powerful.

"A sect founded by Ying Xiong. I came to visit recently." Zhou Fan shortly introduced.

"You'll see more of it later, but that will be after we train."
