Heavenly supreme grade spiritual root

Everyone looked at the orb that had exploded in shock!

The atmosphere was a stark contrast compared to the loud explosion that just happened, currently, no one even dared to breathe loudly. The silence spoke a million words.

The elders had already stood up long ago and looked at Itachi as though he was a monster. They all had the same thought coursing through their brains.

How did the orb explode?

Meanwhile, Itachi was stood there nonchalant as always, he was too busy listening to the robotic voice in his head.

[ System has destroyed inanimate object, inanimate object tried to intrude the host's cultivation base, due to hosts insufficient power, system has temporarily helped the host ]

[ Note: This help is only temporary, and only towards inanimate objects that try to probe the host's cultivation base ]

Itachi listened to the voice attentively, any time the system made a move it was for something important. However, Itachi racked his brain but still couldn't find a positive out of what just happened.

" What a useless power, so what if they know my cultivation base, this body has never had any spiritual root to begin with, why did it matter if the orb probed me or not, " Itachi said inwardly.

Itachi's impression of the system was dropping, he couldn't figure out why the system would do such a thing, could it be because the orb would find an unfamiliar energy in Itachi thus putting him in danger of being found out? But this was extremely questionable, Itachi didn't have any external energy within him, so why?…

Itachi didn't know, he quickly ignored these thoughts and snapped back to reality, he had already released his hand from the orb that was now in pieces, his hand was now covered in blood, glass fragments could also be seen stuck in between his fingers and around his hand.

It was a mess.

However Itachi didn't show a single instance of being in pain, his facial expression didn't even move , it was as though nothing had happened. To Itachi, something like this wasn't even worth noting, he had felt pain much worse than this before.

Itachi's facial expression did not escape the eyes of the elders, they nodded at Itachi's temperament.

" Most kids his age would be crying on the floor, this kid didn't even make a noise even though his hand is a mangled mess, a unique temperament indeed, " One of the elders said.

Another elder couldn't wait any longer and requested a medic to immediately heal Itachis's hand.

The instructor looked at this scene and deduced that the orb had a major malfunction, the elders that had stood up also came to this conclusion, they concluded that it had nothing to do with Itachi per say.

The instructor fixed his posture then said loudly,

" There has been a malfunction with the orb, it seems one of the recruits has been injured. In terms of Lin Fengs grade, the orb did not light up or show any form of fluctuation in light, this shows us he has no spiritual root "

When the other recruits heard this they looked at Itachi in pity, some even looked at him in disgust.

" To think I was in the same room as that trash, he's no different than a mortal, he should go back to farming and rearing cattle! "

Meng Changdo said these words as he scoffed, he was from a rich and strong family, so he was used to looking down on the weak.

Itachi heard this but paid it no mind, he slowly walked back to his position and awaited the instructor's next words.

At this time the elders had already taken their seats and followed the procedures, after the instructor said his final words, the opening ceremony would be over.

The instructor Lu Tiantong finally said:

" The opening ceremony is now over, all of you will go to your corresponding homes and have some rest, first thing in the morning your all required to go to the academy's cultivation manual pavilion. There you will be given the sect's Nether world Cultivation manual "

" This cultivation manual has been passed down by our ancestors, it is the pride of the sect, I don't want any of you slacking off on your cultivation! This sect does not breed cowards or slackers! "

All the kids nodded solemnly. But at the same time they were so excited they started to fidget, tomorrow was the first day they tread on the path to being an immortal! Something they dreamed of and heard stories about!

" Everyone is dismissed, Lin Feng , stay behind "

Lu Tiantong said outwardly.

Meanwhile, In the hall, everyone had already left, including the elders. Only the instructor and a doctor were left. Itachi stood there whilst one of the doctors of the sect was healing his hand with qi.

Itachi's hand was healing at a visible speed, after it was healed Itachi looked at the doctor and said

" Thank you "

The doctor nodded at him and then swiftly left.

" Lin Feng, how's your hand? "

"It's fine instructor Lu, it seems to of completely healed " Itachi replied.

"That's good, my apologies, the orb malfunctioned, luckily it didn't damage your face or vital organs. Now, I asked you to stay behind because as you know, you don't have a spiritual root, so you won't be able to cultivate "

Itachi looked up at the elder then said,

" I see "

Lu Tiantong then replied with, " Normally we would ask you to turn around and leave however Elder Lee has put in good word for you, I would like for you to work at the sect, we are currently short on staff at the cultivation manual pavilion. You'll work as an assistant at the pavilion and take care of the place, what do you say? "

Itachi thought about it for a moment, even if he refused there was nowhere for him to go. He did not want to go back to the village, the sect was a good place to stay, and outside was too dangerous.

Following that, Itachi responded.

"I'll take the offer "

Instructor Lu instantly smiled and nodded.

" Very good, go home and rest, meet me tomorrow morning, come to the cultivation pavilion, after the kids have acquired their cultivation manuals ill introduce you to the head worker there "

Itachi bowed and then left the hall.

" So ill basically be a book store assistant huh, who would've thought, I can't say I'm not disappointed, I was looking forward to learning how to cultivate and increase my realm, I don't know how long ill be under the sects protection, I don't want to rely on external forces, relying on one's self is always the safest and best option "

Itachi sighed as he slowly walked towards his dorm, the moon was out and shining on his face. As Itachi looked at the moon, unpleasant memories started to flow towards him.

" Back then when I was assigned to kill the clan, the moon was also this bright…"

Click...

Itachi grabbed the handle of his door and entered his house.

He was extremely tired right now and wanted to sleep, he opened his wardrobe and found a pair of neatly put pajamas. He changed into his night ware, walked towards his bed, and laid down flat, his arms were behind his head as he looked up at the ceiling.

He was slowly drifting off to sleep, but then suddenly a robotic voice resounded in his head.

Itachi was instantly jolted awake and sat back up.

[Ding! System has a limited time sale on, system recommends the host to check the shop panel]

Itachi quickly summoned the system and checked the shop interface, lo and behold, there was an item shining in blue light.

Itachi widened his eyes! He couldn't believe what he was looking at, even with all his life's experience, nothing could've trained him for this, he had never been so excited in his entire life! He had long buried the feelings of excitement, to think he could experience it again!

Itachi would normally not bat an eye at anything but what he was looking at shocked him to the core, the system was truly a godsend!

" This is it! To think it decreased in price by this much! "

Itachi instantly shouted, "BUY!"
