Han zhen woke to clarity. His vitality was now normal , the system didn't alert him now . The poison in his veins no longer burned. His spiritual root was now shifted to poisonous body.
He held his breath and opened the description panel. What he saw was shocking , his whole body pulsed , fingers etching to taste it …
[Spiritual Root: Poisonous body][Description:- Immune to all toxins, capable of absorbing toxins to increase mastery.]
"hah…finally the treatment i deserve", he didn't bother to control the faint smirk. The poisonous energy was now converted and merged with his Qi through the help of system. But what made him excited was not the poisonous body the skill that it give. Without any delay he opened the Skill panel.[Skill The skill slot glowed with the new name, the Dark serpent venomous poison was now converted to a skill. He instantly asked for it's description.
[Skill: Venomous hand][Description:- Can inject toxin from his hand to just anything.]
Han zhen blinked a couple of times before coming to his senses. The description was just short and not too extravagant but that was enough to kill people. He trembled slightly, thinking.. "What would happen if i mastered poisonous body" a faint laugh slipped "I can even poison those whose cultivation is high..", a deep fear settle in his eyes , it's too deadly and strong.
But he also knew that cultivators had many ways to detoxified the poison. He was cautious to only used it when necessary, making it his trump card.
He closed the panel. This alone isn't enough to kill Maid Yan. She was the one who refined that poison and killed Han Zhen, she must have something like Poisonous body…
But now that his body had recovered, he could feel his power. His dantian, His bone, His entire body was now surging with Qi .
His destination was clear. The Han family library. The memories were bounded to his soul , now Le Han was Han Zhen and the very blood of Han family flowed in him. Only blood Kin could enter the library. Anyone else would reduced to ashes.
When night fell and silence drowned the manor. Han Zhen stood and quietly moved. His footsteps was silent yet vivid. The memory guided him through the basement and down a narrow stairway behind a cracked wall.
A stone door stood before him, old yet pulsing with faint spiritual light was the Han family symbol. It was just a rounded circles overlapping with each other representing that of a Rakshasa.
He felt a distant yet real emotion towards it, "Why would Han family symbol symbolize the Rakshasa", it was shocking yet horrifying.
He pricked his finger and pressed against the symbol carved into the door. His blood sank in, but it didn't do anything , and the seal opened slowly, Silently.
The heavy air of underground library filled his lungs. He slowly began scanning the library. But was bored finding nothings. He was moving slowly cursing suddenly, his eyes met a dusty book in last shelve. It was placed between new martial manual.
He slowly took the book out, the name written there was shocking . "Heaven Devouring Manual." The book cover was coated by a red fabric making it seemed a little ominous.
He immediately store the book in the system. Back in his room, he sat down and opened the system panel. What shocking was the book was not listed as a skill nor as a item. But was stored in the system shop.
[Skill book: Heaven Devouring Manual]
[Rank: ???]
[Can be acquired for 60 System Points]
Han Zhen's brows tightened. "What…60?..", A chill ran down his body. 60 for this ?. System not revealing it's Rank and a 60 for learning means this book is too powerful for me.
He had made a mistake, without storing it in system he could normally learned it without purchasing, but what would he do if his luck is not in his side.
But it was actually good. If he normally practiced it, his body couldn't have handle it and ultimately shattered to pieces. But the system was different it would also make his body stronger to handle it , well it was a another question but the problem will arise when he absorb the skill, his body have to be strong enough to acquire the skill.
But the problem was still the system points. He can't go and randomly kill. The han manor was located in Lian province far south between Tianmu and Langfeng in the Tianyu Empire. The empire greatest prison "The Heavenly Surging Prison" was located in the very center of Lian Province, Where biggest criminals, murderers, and traitors are held captive before the execution. Rumors had it that is the upper levels one of them fourth-layer core forging cultivator , once a bandit chief now waiting for his death.
His eyes darkened. Criminals….their life holds no value, their life essence should work too, shouldn't it?
A faint voice echoed in his head, his own conscience.
What am I thinking? Killing again? Have I truly gone mad?.
He leaned forward gripping his temples. "These thoughts..this coldness. Is it from this body? Or me?"
Silence filled the room. His reflection in the window looked different, eyes sharper, colder.
"It's not wrong," he said quietly. "I had made up my mind that time I will live solely for myself and gather enough opportunity for myself." I have to be a demon to survive in this world, Cold and calculating.He sighed. "But i have no power yet. No money. No backing."
Of course, It would be hard to infiltrate that place but he was not the type to back down, he himself was ready to make all suffer, those who dare to show their fang to him.
He was no more a kind soul, but had long became a Rakshasa of a Han family. He would resort to any means necessary for surviving. Even if it means selling his soul to a demon.
The journey of Han Zhen begins.
