Duan Jian's awakening.

"I have a method that can make you become a supreme expert. It'll allow you to surpass the existence of Legend rank. However, you'll experience great torture and pain. Are you willing to do it?" Itachi asked as he looked at Duan Jian.

"Is the torture and pain I've suffered in my life any less? That old bastard, Sikong Yi, wants me to bow down, that's absolutely impossible. Torture and pain will only make me stronger." Duan Jian said with hatred.

With a wave of his right hand, several needles appeared in Itachi's hand and said, "Your body contains the blood of the Black Dragon's bloodline. I can invoke the Black Dragon's bloodline in your body. As the descendent of a dragon, once your bloodline is awaken, you'll be able to reach Legend rank at the least."

"What you're saying is that, you're able to make me a Legend rank expert?" Duan Jian's body trembled as he looked at Itachi with disbelief in his eyes.

"Correct. The power of dragon bloodline is not that simple. Even if it's the lowest grade of the dragon tribe, it can have the power to fight a Legend rank expert. However, you'll be subjected to ten days of torture, after enduring that inhumane torture, your constitution will be able to have the strength of Legend rank. However, it's still far from an authentic Legend rank. Before you have the sufficient strength, you will have to endure the pain." said Itachi.

"Whether it's ten days or ten years, I'll be able to endure it!" Duan Jian said with a firm tone.

"Eat these elixirs first. These will help you restore your strength. We'll begin after your strength has been recovered." Itachi said, passing some elixirs to Duan Jian.

Duan Jian opened his mouth, swallowed them all at once and began refining. He can quickly feel that his energy has been restored by a lot.

Itachi looked at his girls and went in front of Duan Jian, he started the acupuncture technique on Duan Jian. He quickly stuck one fine needle after another into Duan Jian's body until over thirty of the meridian points were stuck with needles. Although it was extremely painful at the start of the process, Duan Jian only frowned his brows a little. However, once Itachi placed the thirty-sixth needle into his body, Duan Jian's face twisted.

"Arghh!" Duan Jian gave off a miserable scream, filled with endless pain.

His body felt as though it was burning as it rolled inside waves of heat. The dragon blood inside his body was being invoked.

That painful scream was heard beyond the courtyard.

The guards guarding the courtyard couldn't help looking at each other. Duan Jian's painful screams gave them a horrified feeling. They all know of Duan Jian. Although he's a traitor and has been cast aside by his entire family, he had never screamed like this before, even when he was being lashed all day and night.

Truth is, they had a little admiration for Duan Jian. Who else is able to be so fearless under such torture and still not bow down?

But now, Duan Jian was only in for several minutes and was already issuing such a miserable scream. One can only imagine what kind of pain Duan Jian is experiencing.

"what do you think that monster is doing with Duan Jian?"

The guards felt their scalps tingling, as they trembled within their hearts. They don't even dare to imagine the monster's way of doing things.

"What did you do to him?" Lanruo asked, looking at Duan Jian, who is currently rolling and constantly struggling under the bound of the chains with pity.

"I've given him a chance. As to what heights can he reach, it'll depend on his fortune." Itachi said, "Let's not bother him, and continue training."

A chance? Ning'er and the girls understood a little of what he said. Although they felt some pity towards Duan Jian, they didn't say anything much about him.

Everyone began practising.

It wasn't long before Sikong Yi's men brought in a large amount of Blood Crystals. Itachi refined these Blood Crystals and split them with the girls. The group began to madly absorb the soul force within the Blood Crystals and concentrated on their cultivation.

The soul force within the Blood Crystal was constantly extracted and brought into their soul realms.

Time past quickly. Itachi had enough of being here, he was waiting for Duan Jian to get back on his feet, the girls had managed to break through, while Itachi had reached the pinnacle of Legend rank with the help of blood crystals and obviously the Library of Heaven's Path was what made it easier for him to cultivate with resources available.

Itachi could see that the bud in the depths of his soul realm was slowly growing, turning into a long vine. The vine connected itself to the Black Flame Phoenix demon spirit. The Black Flame Phoenix demon spirit slowly curled up, like fruit on a vine, and was being nurtured by the vine.

Itachi could feel that the Black Flame Phoenix demon spirit was currently undergoing a strange transformation.

This kind of strange transformation made even Itachi feel amazed. For the first time, he found out that the soul force in his soul realm could actually change into such a form.

It seems that his understanding towards soul force is still incomplete!

His plans for coming here was to get Duan Jian and the inheritance of Emperor Kong Ming, now that he had completed them, he didn't want anything else to do with this realm. After all Duan Jian wanted to take revenge by himself, he would respect his decision and leave the matters of Silver Winged Family to him.

Itachi was also informed that, the Stones of Light were collected. Now all he had to do was wait for Duan Jian.

On the tenth day, Duan Jian's screaming voice also slowly died down and finally, not a sound came from him.

Itachi and the girls quietly looked at the lying Duan Jian.

"What's wrong with him?" Lanruo asked and the girls could feel that the aura coming from Duan Jian's body was gradually getting weaker.

The girls had frantic expressions. Duan Jian couldn't have died like this, right?

Only Itachi stood still, very calmly, and look at the lying Duan Jian. If Duan Jian could survive this, then he would have his chance to become a supreme expert. If he couldn't endure it, then...

After a long while, the aura coming from Duan Jian's body felt like it was dying off.

Suddenly,

"Thump! Thump!..."

A deep sound was coming from Duan Jian's body. This deep sound, is the sound of his beating heart. That strong reverberation of the beating felt strong enough to bring down the nearby walls.

Thereafter, a majestic aura burst out from Duan Jian's body, that was continuously expanding to the surroundings.

This aura gave the girls a feeling of pressure.

Such powerful energy!

Itachi could feel the powerful energy circulating in Duan Jian's body. The wings behind his back grew even stronger.

Roar!

Duan Jian released a furious roar that sounded similar to an actual dragon roar.

"Such a terrifying power." Ning'er looked at Duan Jian with a bit of fear. She never thought that the dying Duan Jian would suddenly become so powerful.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An aura wave was released from Duan Jian's body. His body slowly floated into the air and was shrouded in a faint black light. The expression on his face had a noble air to it, as though he's overseeing all the lives. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

After he saw Itachi and the girls, he slowly landed onto the ground.
