Heavenly Rings

During the time the young boy absorb the red golden ball of blood, the two old men stand still on the shore with the soldier to make sure that nothing happen.

"Old Dong, what take you so long, the young master have been obliged to suppress is cultivation at the peak of refinement stage fore a year already and some of the other young master have already surpass him." Say old Feng as slight anger was easily detected in his voice. Hearing it, the other old man sight.

"It's all that animal fault, because is bloodline was so strong. The other fall immediately after being struck by the arrow who were covert by the poison but even after being struck, not only he didn't succumb, he was even able to hold himself, only after drinking directly the poison did he fall. I have need five year to transform it in a way absorbable for the young master, I have even need to constantly poison him or he would have cure the poison by himself. I was even forced to use a grade eight bloodline crushing poison each month! Not only is blood line was too strong, I was even forced to rise it to a grade seven one or it would be impossible for the young master to success before at least two year."

"How can this be possible, not only he didn't awake the clan bloodline but another one and have that much talent, a shame that he wasn't born in the main family."

"Let see the good side of this, with him, the young master will be able to success easily and his future progress will be smooth in the future."

As the two were talking, on the small island, the situation slowly evolve. Out of the eighty one sacrifice, fifteen of the weaker one have already turn into wrinkled, white hair corpse. If one were to look on their eyes, one would be able to see they live force been slowly consumed as their blood flow out and their bloodline being refined by one of the young master of the Hai clan.

What all the people present ignored was that Hai Yang have keep is consciousness since the moment the solution start to took effect on his body. Even if he was unable to move, he have clearly sense something penetrated his chest and ignite is blood.

Because of the already multiple wounds all around is body, his blood have long since start to flow out and merge with the eight other under the influence of the foreign object.

But contrary to the other, even if his blood loss take a severe toll on his body, his physical apparence have yet start to aging.

.....

After a hour since the start of the sacrifice ritual, near all of the young have turn into old seeming person, leaving only corpse. IN each group, at most two of the nine were still alive but even if the ritual were to be broken, they wouldn't be albe to live for more that five years.

On the shore, the group where eagarly looking at the young master surrounded by the corpse, but they gaze weren't on them, nor the young master himself but on the transparent thing taking form behind him.

"The young master have already start to form is mana, he will soon be able to breakthrough the refinement stage and enter the mana gathring one." Say old feng as impatience were clearly displaying on his voice.

"Old Feng, what about the other?"

"The othher young master have need more time to form their mana scripture, and they weren't as bright as the one of young master, after we retun it will not be long before the young master take the lead of the young generation and be promote to the next clan head."

'ho! that good, truely good, our last long effort will finnaly being recompenced after all, it natura that good deed must be rewared!"

Looking at each other, the two elder start to get emotional at the sight of they future prospect.

On the island, above the young cross-legged with closed eyes, a one meter red snake gradually take form. The more the red-golden blood was absorbed, the brighter the sign of life in the snake eyes grow.

Above the group on the island, the ball floating in the air have already shrink to the size of a eye as the flow linking it to the nine poolof blood have already turn as thin as thread.

As for Hai Yang, the light in his eyes have greatly blurred, leaving only a very weak felling, letting anyone know that he have very little time left.

Since the start of the sacrifice, as he stay awake, Yang was able to hear the convesation of the two old men, even if they were separated by more than more than two hundred meters, everything was calm and as don't fear that someone will came, they haven't search to lower their voice.

At the start, he wasn't able to hunderstand what the says because of the pain, but the moment they start to speak of the reaon of his poisoning, his reason overcome the pain and concentrate.

Hearing the truth Hai Yang mind collapse. All the pain and the souffrance those last five years was due to the schame of the Hai clan. He and the other child of the other generation are here for only thing, raise the future of the clan by being a stepping stone! Just because of his different birth than the elite of the clan he become a sacrifice just to raise the bloodline of the other! Innaceptable! He could not and would not allow other to step on his head to reach the light they can see below.

In less than a second, his febrile mind transform in a raging fire, burning the last strand of belonging with the clan that he have kept those year, because yes, even if he have been poisonned by the soldier he still have a familly, a clan left behind.

Not a single child could bear the burden of growth alone, even if he was cleaver by other, does it mean that he don't need love from other? Not! He was human and like all of them, even being born in a world were the strong prey on the wake, he have dream of a confortable life surrounded by is loved one. Even if a part of the clan turn hostile to him, so what, who could say for sure that they will be loved by evreyone?

In a world were strong rule, it impossible to not create enemities with other but so why? Even without having heaven shaking talent, a good birth or a strong baking, he could stil ateint a small achivement in martial way, obtaint a good place in the clan guard, found a kind wife and live a peaceful life with some kids.

But all of his dream have been crushed by the reality of the world, because he have a low birth, because of his backing and because of his talent his future have been sold to allow a other to raise above him.

Will he allow it? Allowing other to rise by is own sacrifice, a sacrifice that he wasn't even able to chose?

No, clearly no, because he was separate of his familly, he was forced to grow and think for himself. Here were no one to protect him, sheild him of other an act for him.

'I will not allow them to do as they please, only I are allowed to chose my future! They want my blood? Alright, take it! Let me severe all the tie we have and purge me of the bloodline of the Hai clan!'

Hai Yang mind have always been stronger than other, even if he don't know it is own being know it. The instant Hai Yang definitely break all his tie with the Hai clan, the last drop of his blood have flow out of him without knowing. Even without a single drop of blood in his body and because of the strange state of mind was he able to be still alive.

As if reacting to is will, the pool formed by his blood ignite instantly, giving birth to a fog of blood that grow in a second, covering the entire island without giving the time to the guard or the two elder to act. One after other muffled sound of explosion resound on the island before something was expulsed out in the air while spitting large quantity of blood and crash on the side of the elder.

Dumbfound by what just happen, they turned their head to only discover a dying lad cover with blood and atrocious wounds all around his body. Above him, the image of a forming snake shattered, making spit another mouthful of blood and faint.

After was seem a eternity, the two old man shriek and dart toward him.

"Young master!!!"

The two immediately sweep his body with they awareness to discover with horror that not only his life was in danger but his was crippled.

"How that possible?! Why did the mana scripture collapse before forming, old Feng what have you done!"

Elder Dong was completely furious, thinking that all of this was due to an error in the formation that he has apply on the island.

"Your old donkey, it all your fault, you have say that this little bastard bloodline have been completely crushed but that was all lies! Otherwise how could he ignite it and make it blast!"
