Chains Of Heaven

After winning the main tournament there was only one more event before the competition would end. I was not interested in it so I went to see master when the call for those in the last competition was being made sound.

"... 2 stars Master Teacher, Bibi Dong; 1 star Master Teacher, Chu Sheng; Miracle Child, Enkidu. All those called please come to the stage."

I froze in place. I don't remember being added to this particular event so why am I being called here?

I turn and move to the judge, of course, I take out a pill and eat it. I feel it dissolve inside my stomach and I direct it's medicinal energy together with Wood energy and Light energy to my injuries. The bleeding stops quickly and the injuries heal fast.

Feeling refreshed I reach the judge and talk to him.

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember entering this final competition. What is it about anyway?" I ask.

"Oh, I understand. You are the disciple Yun Gu was speaking about. I actually am the friend of your master who put your name in this competition, he said exactly what you told him, of how you wanted to enter on all competitions you were good at. It is true he did not include the Master Teacher competition, but I remembered of your description and I saw you when you were teaching in the slums of the city. Being able to trigger the Impartation of Heaven's Will at your age, it truly is amazing. How or why you never appeared in the Master Teacher Association before is beyond me but such talent must be cherished, thus I followed your master's instruction and put you in this competition as well. No worries, even if you do not do too well I am sure you will still be well known and respected by all, after all, you did win all competitions you entered in an overwhelming way except for this last fight which was close but you both were talents beyond all so it is understandable." The judge said.

I could only feel my eyebrow twitch, this old man made me enter another competition even if I did not want it to. This sucks.

"Oh, and the winner of this competition can take a look at the library of our Master Teacher Association's Headquarters up to the fourth layer. I believe there ought to be at least about 180 million books about all manner of things from cultivation techniques to knowledge about all jobs to profound arts of many already extinct sects and ruins we have secured for the last 100000 years."

"Okay, I will win this then." I said as soon as he ended. In my mind, I was doing a little happy dance as this was just too good. With this many books there ought to be enough for me to improve my Heaven's Path books and with them my cultivation.

This means I must go all out, yep I will definitely do my very best!

This is just too good. I wonder if I should try my hand in visiting the other two continents to perhaps check out their Master Teacher Association Headquarters (if they have them, at least).

As I think so I see the other competitors approaching. They all look serious and lofty, as if they were distant from mortal affairs.

One of them approaches me and extends her hand. It was a girl of about 17 or 18, a bit older than me with wavy blond hair and deep red eyes, she looks stern but smile at me when she gets close enough.

"I saw you before during the tournament, you are really amazing." She said easily. "I hope you go lightly with me and that we can exchange pointers in the future."

"I thank you for the compliment, I am sorry to ask but what is your name again?" I ask and she answers easily.

"My name? I am Bibi Dong, I am the direct disciple of the Master Teacher Association Great Elder Qian Daoliu."

"It is a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e meeting you, miss Bibi Dong. I am Enkidu, no family name but I am the disciple of the Medicinal Saint Yun Gu."

As we waited for the competition to start we began talking easily. She clearly had a keen intellect and was actually very interesting, she told me of the association and various other matters, I talked to her about what I knew of many different matters. Surprisingly enough she showed more interest in music than anything else.

By the time the competition started, she convinced me to help her in her singing practice tonight.

It was actually kinda fun to talk without any pressure with someone who is not under any special threat or that I have to rescue or help.

3° Person's P.O.V.

"Papa, kill him for me!" A man of 15 years old w.h.i.n.ed like a spoiled brat to his father who was looking sternly at the stage.

"Calm down, son. She is merely talking to another person, someone with great potential. Having your future wife have connections is also important." Daoliu said.

"But I don't like this. She is mine, she only has to think and look at me, you give her too much freedom." His son, Qian Xunji said with an evil smile to his face. That was answered by his father giving a slap to the back of his head.

"Child, she may be only breedstock who has yet to understand this but she will still be the pivotal instrument for the birth of the next generation of our family. With her as the incubator, the next generation would likely have the ability to fully inherit the power of the Angelic God. It has been showing reaction for a while now and we must hurry before it is too late and someone manages to inform the Realm of the Gods about this, if they find out the inheritance of the Angelic God is in this world then they will certainly come and we will never obtain it for our family for a second time.

"Remember, I can only continue hiding about the ongoings of this world for at most 100 more years, there are far too many things here and there is a limit to how much I can hide despite the fact the Realm of the Gods rarely cares about the goings in the lower realms." Qian Daoliu said.

Qian Xunji nodded but he left his head down and his long hair shadowing his face, an evil smirk in it as he imagined how he could eliminate Enkidu. He refused to allow his 'puppy', as he liked to think considering she actually believed he was her friend and did almost anything he asked of her with innocence, be close to any other male. He even remembered how he killed every other friend the girl ever found, even if they only talked once, if only to see her despair as more and more she began to feel isolated with only him to confide with, he almost salivated at the thought of her breaking completely and

Daoliu knew what his son was thinking but did not overly mind. Enkidu was just an insignificant individual who could hardly be considered anything beyond a prospect of greatness, if his son wanted him dead then so be it. Even if Enkidu find some backing he would still be far from enough as hardly anyone could match the influence of the Great Elder of the Master Teacher association.

As this conversation was taking place the final competition of the tournament started in full.

"This competition will have a total of three parts. The first is a test of your soul depth, a necessary part of any Master Teacher. The Soul Depth relates to how developed and powerful a Master Teacher's soul is. Amongst all professions, the Soul is a vital and important aspect of the development in it. However, to Master Teachers, the soul is even more important since the Soul Depth needs to be even deeper since they must not only be able to do things themselves they must be able to see and understand step by step all their students are doing. Everyone here will test their soul depths to be certain that their soul depth is great enough."

They began their tests, one by one everyone was tested until it was time for Enkidu.

He walked forward and an orb was in front of him. He put his hand in it slowly, he was a bit worried about this actually.

He had trained his soul in the Heaven's Path Soul Art that was created based on a few thousand support training methods to the soul, but even so he was not certain that his soul was all that great.

As he planted his hand in the crystal ball he expected a number to appear. However-

BOOM

The crystal ball that measures the soul depth actually exploded directly.

As he coughed out the dust from the crystal ball that washed over him there was pin-drop silence.

They all could only stare at Enkidu as if he was an utter monster, but the reason for this happening was quite simple.

Enkidu's soul was different to others.

His soul had not only been tempered from the years of suffering from family and an entire previous life he also had a Pure Heart his soul was purer and brighter than most others as well. This alone would not be enough to cause this reaction, but the fact that he had the Magic Cube inside him and practiced the Heaven's Path Soul Art (even if it was not yet that advanced) made his soul much too different to others.

The Heaven's Path Soul Art allowed for his soul energy to become purer and purer, as he and the technique progress his soul would become perfect without flaws. Adding to that there is the most important thing, the Magic Cube.

This is an item that even a Creation God or the Origin God would salivate over, as Enkidu was growing with it inside him it would slowly but surely turn his soul into something else. It would become an Eternal Soul, a soul which will never perish in front of time and that can forever endure, it's attributed supreme above all.

How could soul energy that is under these conditions be measured like others? It is simply impossible!

The actual Soul Depth is hard to tell, nearly impossible really, but it could not be all that great.

However, to the watchers, this sight meant something else entirely. That Enkidu's soul was too strong, stronger even than the one from the Master Teacher Association Head, and that scared and awed all.

Not that Enkidu would know since he was only busy coughing out the crystal dust in him.
