nThe old man looked at his disciple as if he was looking at a mistake.

nHe wondered

n‘If he is so easy to fool how will he even survive in this World?’

nWhile the old man was wondering about the future of his pupil Zhao Luo was in a world where such questions were arising that neither had any explanation nor any basis.

n‘How should I eat them?’

nEyes as wide as they can get Zhao Luo was starting at his apparitions while having some crazy thoughts.

n‘Should I start from their hands?’

n‘Will they taste good?’

n‘They look ghastly. Will they taste like sh*t.’

n‘Who should I start from?’

n‘At least they look handsome.’

nZhao Luo was looking at all the apparitions of his and while doing so he stopped at one of them. This one was still doing the donkey kicks. Zhao Luo squinted his eyes and thought

n‘Not him.’

nZhao Luo was still deciding who to start this ‘assimilation process through eating’ with when he heard the old man talking to him.

nI was joking.

nThe old man still looked as serious as he looked before telling the joke.

nYou are lying right?

nZhao Luo was just one step away from cursing this old man.

nI was before but after getting a better understanding of your intelligence level I think I won’t be doing anything like that again. Haha.

nThe old man made fun of Zhao Luo.

n‘Damn this old man.’

nZhao Luo cursed this old man while smiling. He couldn’t curse his master out loud anyways. The most important thing right now was to hide his embarrassment. So he tried to play it cool.

nI was just playing along with your joke master. As if anyone would believe that.

nYeah yeah. As expected from my student.

nThe old man said with a teasing tone.

nZhao Luo felt a heating sensation from his face.

nBefore the embarrassing moment was prolonged Zhao Luo questioned his master.

nSo- how do I absorb these skilled apparitions?

nZhao Luo got back on track faster than a bullet train.

nAfter getting made fun of by an old man the only thing he wanted now was to achieve something.

nHe was looking at the old man waiting for his master’s guidance.

nThe old man who was known as The Empera sat down on the dark floor. He waved in the air. Out of nowhere two pots appeared in his hands.

nBoth pots had white liquid in them.

nI will show you once as to how much you can learn from this depends on yourself

nThe old man said to Zhao Luo then he proceeded to dip his pinky finger in one of the pots causing the color of the liquid to change to blue.

nThis blue liquid is your apparitions.

nThe old man dipped his hand in the pot taking out some of that blue liquid from the pot in his palm and adding that much in the other pot causing the color of the liquid in the other pot to change too.

nZhao Luo was quick on his foot and moved towards his apparitions.

nThe old man was pleased to see the speed that Zhao Luo displayed in understanding his teaching of assimilation.

nZhao Luo went over to his first apparition and touched his apparition with his pinky while blushing.

nThe old man was so shocked to see the actions of Zhao Luo that he almost turned to a statue.

nYou FOOL.

nThe old man screamed at Zhao Luo.

nThe apparition was looking at Zhao Luo with a dumbfounding look.

nZhao Luo looked at the screaming old man and wondered what he did wrong.

nOh Okay okay I get it.

nZhao Luo turned his hand and touched that apparition with his palm.

nAs soon as the palm touched the apparition the apparition enveloped Zhao Luo.

nFWOOOSH

nA flashing sound was heard in the mind of Zhao Luo as the enveloping shadow of his apparition was absorbed by him.

nZhao Luo felt something changed inside him.

nAs if a surge of power was rising inside him.

nEven though it was faint but he could still feel his immobilized muscles getting tighter.

nYou didn’t have to touch them with your pinky like that. The next step is like a key to the door. The key is your palm and door being the absorption process.

nEven though the old man was angry because of how Zhao Luo blushed while copying his moves he still was impressed by his stupid pupil.

nZhao Luo listened to the old man and nodded. He continued to touch the apparitions with his palm and the same scene repeated again and again.

nAfter seven more

nFWOOOSH

nThe last apparition was left. It was the donkey king.

nEven though Zhao Luo was feeling reluctant he proceeded to absorb him.

nFWOOOSH

nAfter continuously absorbing all of his apparitions he stood there assimilating the surging power from these apparitions in his body.

nZhao Luo closed his eyes to feel the changes rising in his body because of this ability.

nHe could feel the sensation rising from different parts of his body. Even though he still couldn’t see the changes physically from his eyes. Even though he couldn’t get an outside view of his body but he knew the changes were there.

nHe could feel a strength. The strength that gets stored in the body from working out for years after years.

nWhile Zhao Luo was still trying to inspect his body the old man looking at him with a proud face. The expression on his face showed his sincere appreciation towards his disciple.

nHe thought about how coincidental their connection was.

nOne was trapped in a capsule with his body immobilized for the time being while the other was alive while being attached to a sword.

nA very long time ago he was ruling over a group of Gods now he was reduced to a sorry state for someone who was once an Empera.

nThe old man let go of all his irrelevant thoughts and started clapping.

n‘Clap clap clap.’

nHis clapping contained so much power that the mind space of Zhao Luo started shaking and he was hit with a wave of stinging pain towards his head.

nMaybe this was the old man’s way of showing his praise for the young disciple of his but it was too much for Zhao Luo.

nThank you Master.

nZhao Luo bowed in front of the old man.

nHe knew after feeling the growing changes in his body that this was just the beginning.

nCongratulations you are now on the path of Godhood.

nThe old man was waiting for Zhao Luo to get up but he wouldn’t even budge.

nYou can get up now. Cough.

nZhao Luo got up and looked at the old man. You have done well. But this is just the start of a very long journey. It may be a very difficult path for you but don’t fret as this old man has taken you under his tutelage.

nThe old man told Zhao Luo.

nZhao Luo nodded.

n‘What his future will be on this journey and What surprises will be brought to him on this path of Godhood’.

nZhao Luo was just focused on this one thing.
