Death… And Me

Chapter 1645 So That's How It Is...　　"Why would we join you anyway? You're only in the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm. We can definitely find someone better," Min mentioned.

"Didn't I say before?" Suddenly, Rean's body flashed as his Black Star came out of his spatial ring. With his Enhancement Skill plus Roan's Shadow Steps, he was simply too fast for either Min or Erla to be able to react. A black and white light then flashed, leaving a deep cut on Min and Erla's shoulders. If Rean could even fight average Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm opponents, let alone Erla, who was in the Initial Stage. Even worse for Min, who was in the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm.

"Ahh!" Erla and Min tried to jump away while using their skills, but they simply weren't a match for Rean. Before they knew it, he had already appeared on their backs while pointing the sword at their hearts.

Fighting in the city was prohibited, so Rean had to be crazy to suddenly start a fight right there. 

Dipsy was just about to call the Jhiod Sect's guards when suddenly, Rean continued to talk as if nothing had happened. "I'm very good at healing."

With Erla and Min unable to move due to the danger of being killed, Rean touched their shoulders.

'Life Style, Second Form, Instant Recovery!'

Right in front of everyone's eyes, the deep cut on Erla and Min's shoulders closed in just a few seconds. It was extremely fast. 

Rean then put his Black Star away before coming out of their backs. "So, what do you think? Are my healing skills good enough for us to become a group? I'm not that confident in my combat power, but I definitely won't lose to anyone in healing skills."

Erla and Min felt like crying already after that. 'Bro, if that's what you mean by not being confident with your combat skills, then just what are we?'

However, Min suddenly felt a fit of anger after that. "Is that how you ask others? We thought you were going to kill us!"

Erla nodded, even angrier than Min. "We should just tell the guards of Jhiod Sect to take you away for breaking the rules!"

"They're correct, brother Rean." Dipsy had to stand on Erla and Min's side. "It's against the rules to attack anyone in our Jhiod Sect's building. If they don't forgive your stubbornness, I'm afraid you will have to pay for your mistake here."

Rean sighed in dejection after that. "Come on! Isn't it obvious that I had no intention of killing anyone? I just wanted to showcase my healing skills, that's all. I truly like them. The union of a demon beast and a Zasta humanoid race member who goes against the odds because of their love for each other. I'm truly, truly moved by their relationship and want to create a group to pass the test."

Erla and Min were still angry even after that. However, they didn't have time to say much before Rean was suddenly swarmed by other cultivators and demon beasts.

"Brother, brother! Join us! We can definitely make good use of your healing skills!"

"What? Who the hell would join a measly group like yours? Brother Rean, join us. We have two Void Tempering Realm cultivators in the Middle Stage!"

"It's not about strength! Coordination is also key. Brother, we have a simple battle formation, and your strength is exactly what we need for the core."

"No, forget all of them. I'm a Peak Stage Void Tempering Realm demon beast and an aquatic one at that. I'm sure you will find our group the best choice for the Deep Sea test."

Suddenly, Min and Erla pulled Rean to their side, shouting, "He already said he was going to make a group with us!"

"Yeah, all of you can find someone else!"

Rean almost burst into laughter right then and there. Seeing the confusion caused by him, Erla and Min immediately understood. They might be losing out on a great, great chance right here. Obviously, the result was as Rean expected. They quickly put their anger away and grabbed the chance. "Oh! So you aren't angry with me anymore?"

Min couldn't help but bitterly smile in response. "Ahem... well, that was a bit too over the top, no?"

Erla nodded in agreement. "Indeed. However, you only wanted to display your abilities, so we forgive you."

Rean didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Those two were terrible at lying. It was obvious that they still held some grudge for the earlier event, but they simply kept it in. "That's great."

Rean then looked at everyone around them. "Then again, we need one more member for our group. I have a four-member battle formation that can most likely guarantee our success. With my healing skills and everyone's cooperation, we can definitely clear the Deep Sea Monsters Assault Test!"

Rean didn't need to ask twice before havoc started once more. Some even said that they didn't mind leaving their own group to join them. In the end, it wasn't just Rean's strength. It was his healing skill combined with his own strength that made him so valuable. A healer would have little use if they couldn't defend themselves. Also... the mention of a battle formation definitely attracted even more attention.

Roan's group just so happened to see the same thing from afar. "Roan, that guy over there looks a lot like you."

Roan snorted. "Just some idiot displaying his strength in front of others. Just pretend you have never seen him."

Rean then looked at Min and Erla before using a Divine Sense message. 'You can choose anyone you want. However, I advise you to grab someone with low cultivation.'

Erla and Min were puzzled to hear that. 'Why would we get someone weak?'

'Because the monsters in the Deep Sea Monster Assault test will always target the biggest groups. The groups forming here never go above ten members due to that.' Obviously, he heard it from the explanation Roan received. 'Doesn't that mean they kind of look for the groups with the highest amount of Divine Energy?'

Naturally, Erla and Min were taken aback once they found that out. 'So that's how it is...'
