Chapter 41 - Forced to Accept a Master

The lightning displayed its power. An air of arrogance and annihaltion spread around towards the figure.

The figure seem shocked at the sudden attack. The speed at which the lightning strike came gave the person no choice but to dodge.

Buzz! But rhe figure did not do so, it raised its hand and the lightning blasted onto their body. Lightning crackled on the figure body non-stop. The sounds of multiply lightning moving about like snakes entered Wei Xu ears.

Swoosh! Seeing his lightning have no effect on the figure Wei Xu used the techniques of Vanishing Steps, silently appearing behind the figure.

Zip! Lightening channel out of Wei Xu body into the dagger. Buzz! The dagger glowed yellow as if it came alive. The dagger current appearance made Wei Xu think it was filled with wild arrogance. 'It's a blade created from Zeus afterall.' He thought as he also put his his will into the blade.

If anyone who just enter the second evolution were to be hit by this attack they would surely be heavily injured if not they would be left injured or feeling numb.

Boom! The person swing their hand at his attack. Ding! The hand caught the blade and the arrogance and annihaltion in the air vanish.

Wei Xu shivered, the person only caught his weapon but his entire body became numb. He could hardly feel his hands and feet, a sensation of death overwhelmed him.

Wei Xu tried taking back his dagger but the person gripped his hand. Wei Xu stared at the person face but only saw shadows covering their body, the person appearance caused Wei Xu to freeze in place.

[Tranquility has been activated.]

The fear that took over Wei Xu mind slowly went away as his brain began thinking of multiply solutions of getting out of his current predicament.

His eyes turned calm as he stared at the person face that was covered in shadows and a hideous mask with two horns.

After calming down Wei Xu realized that this person resembled a woman. Her slim yet rough hands that held onto Wei Xu felt cold, her twin braided long hair that resemble a ponytail and her brown eyes that flashed under her mask gave off an undefeatable will.

"As expected of Mucheng student." The woman spoke in a rough voice. Her grip weaken and Wei Xu immediately escaped. Moving six feets away from her.

"You know my Instructor?" When he heard she mentioned Su Mucheng his guard went down. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" He sighed feeling exhausted from what occurred.

"How could I explain when you suddenly attacked me boy?" The woman chuckled at Wei Xu remark.

"You appeared behind me!" Wei Xu shouted feeling like she was in the wrongs.

"Hey, don't get angry. I was merely testing your capabilities." The shadows surrounding her body disappear revealing her brown skin. "Hm?" Seeing her color Wei Xu became curious as he never saw anyone whose complexion was brown.

"I heard from Mucheng that your abilities are sealed," she walked up to Wei Xu. Although she removed those strange shadows she still didn't remove her mask. "So for the next month I will be teaching you until you get back your powers."

"Wait what happened to Instructor?" Wei Xu ignored all the things she said and asked a bit worried about why Su Mucheng haven't arrived.

"The mission has been delayed due to certain circumstances." The woman said in a calm tone but deep down Wei Xu could hear the hidden anger in her voice.

"So you will be my new instructor?" Wei Xu wanted to make her tell him everything that's happening to his instructor but knew it wasn't his place to ask.

"Instructor? No, I'll be your master." She sneered at the word 'Instructor.' and stared at Wei Xu with eyes that made him think that if he accept her as his master things will never be the same again.

"Now kneel."

"What?" For her to tell him to get down on his knees was some sort of disgrace to him. He was thought by his instructor to only kneel to his father and mother.

His father is someone he disdain so he would never kneel to someone who doesn't even remember he exist unless someone mention him.

As for his mother he never knew from birth who his mother was so he also felt some disdain towards her for leaving him in a hell hole for fifteen years.

"Did you not hear me? I said kneel!" Her hand touched Wei Xu shoulders and an invincible power came down on him. The force caused his feet to become weak.

"Why are you doing this?!" Sweat covered his entire body as his face became pale. For him to bearly still be standing was something impressive.

"Do you not know that when accepting a master you must kneel and serve them tea?" She sneered at Wei Xu question. "Since we don't have any tea I can only let you kneel." Chuckling she applied more force causing Wei Xu to kneel onto the ground.

"You..."

[A force has entered host body.]

[Applying measures to dispel this force.]

[Failed.]

[Failed.]

[Host has become the Disciple of ####]

[You are bounded by a seal.]

Wei Xu saw the messages he became lifeless. Who would have thought he would become a slave of another person by just waiting outside the Academy.

The worse part is that no one came to his rescue. He was left alone to handle this crazy woman.

"Don't look so down." The woman looked at Wei Xu dispirited appearance feeling some sort of pity. "If there's someone to blame you can always blame your dear instructor~" She said in a sarcastic tone making Wei Xu lift his head.

Wei Xu current eyes were pitch black. No emotion could be seen in them causing the woman to shiver in excitement. "Yes, that's what I want to see! The eyes of someone who wants to kill!" She laughed out loudly like a maniac causing the birds to fly away to the skies.

"What's your name.. Master?" Wei Xu ignored her laughter and questioned feeling some sort of power affecting the way he speak to her.

"You don't need to know my name, but you can just call me Leah." She stopped laughing as her eyes curved behind her mask.

"Leah..." Wei Xu repeated her name as if engraving it inside his soul. "In the future ill repay this debt with blood." Zeus Dagger appear in his hands and he cut his wrist. Blood came leaking out dripping down. Lightning then crackled around the wound causing it not to heal. "This cut will testify my revenge."

"I look forward to that day." Although she had on a mask Wei Xu could tell she was smiling behind it. "I never decline a challenge."

"Good."

After their little farce Wei Xu calmed down and carried Leah into the Academy. He first showed her the training area which Wei Shenyuan was there training. "Oh this girl is interesting." Leah put her hand on her chin, staring right at the girl who seem to be dancing in the air with two daggers flashing purple and black light.

He then carried her to his class where surprisingly Wei Xiao Xiao was there. "You..." Wei Xiao Xiao stared at Wei Xi and then Leah and back to Wei Xu. "A pity, a true pity!" Wei Xiao Xiao shouted at the skies feeling sad for Wei Xu, "Good luck little one." After saying what she had to say she patted his shoulder causing Wei Xu to feel weird. 'Little one? Doesn't she usually call me boy or brat?'

"How you doing old girl." Leah laughed at Wei Xiao Xiao who was about to leave.

"..."

Wei Xiao Xiao actually walked past Leah and left the classroom shocking Wei Xu. 'Shouldnt she be angry by now!' He looked at Leah speechlessly.

Usually if anyone were to speak informal to Wei Xiao Xiao she would start a tantrum. Even the Principal have to pay attention to the words he say around her.

"Are you curious?" Leah chuckled at Wei Xiao Xiao attitude and turned to Wei Xu who nodded heavily.

"I called her a old girl. Meaning she's old and young while at the same time she is neither old nor young. Isn't your master smart?" Wei Xu hearing this mouth dropped. What she just said made sense but also didn't make sense at the same time.

Afterward Wei Xu brought her to the cafeteria that had no student sitting there. After the Ancient Academy got demoted not many stayed in the school anymore. Instead they stayed at their home.

With hardly any teacher left in the Ancient Academy there really isn't any reason for any students to stay afterall.

With no one to teach the students will be left astray.

The good thing is the staff members were still there so if anyone was hungry they could always come for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert.

'The fewer students the more food too hehe." Wei Xu thought as he greeted the staff members before leaving.

Finally after a little tour around the school Wei Xu arrived at his room. Their tour was a bit short since he didn't dare show her some areas such as the Arena that was smashed apart by the dormant spirit and the Science Lab that he wasn't allowed in anymore because of what his heart devil caused.

"Well that was all." Wei Xu calmly said. Although the thought for revenge was still lingering in his mind he knew now wasn't a good time. He needed to get stronger and since she could make him stronger he was willing to put a side his hatred for now.

"Is that so." Leah yawned feeling a bit tired. "Since that boring tour is over we can now get started." Hearing this Wei Xu eyes glowed with interest at what she said.

She walked up to Wei Xu steadily. "Remember, this is all so you can beat me in the future." Wei Xu hearing this became confused as she place her hand on his shoulder. "Wait..." Crack.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" A heart wrenching scream echoed out of Wei Xu room.
