The Talentless Sect Master Chosen By The System Chapter 126: Flickering Flame

Flame, a flame was set ablaze in his leaking spirit core as it trapped and absorbed back all the lost spirit energy. The spirit energy that resisted was consumed by the flames which soon made them drop the notion.

The flame which had been laying dormant inside Nightin's body ever since his encounter with Phoenix finally revealed itself, it was using its life force to save Nightin, it was the only thing it was taught to do.

Burning its vigorous life force without any hesitation, its soon started to flicker before vanis.h.i.+ng from this world.

Warmth gradually returned to his body soon as his eyes twitched, followed by his fingers subconsciously. His life force was returning and if one were to observe within his body, they would see luminous light recovering his body.

This tiny movement had however escaped Phoenix'e eyes which were occupied with bawling her eyes out beside Nightin who laid on the ground without any movement.

Even though Nightin eyes were still closed, he could hear Phoenix who was crying for him, he wanted to raise his hand to pat her head and pull her into his embrace for a warming hug, but his body was drained of too much energy.

Within his spirit core, the wind spirit made use of this chance to manifest itself as it prepared to improve itself, the fire energy may be useless to it, but the neutral energy would still benefit it.

Its long time pal the fire spirit, was a generous chap to its buddy and gave up the spirit energy voluntarily to its friend.

The fire spirit made sure to only absorb a certain amount of fire energy and gave up the rest to the wind spirit, it had to prevent history from repeating itself and form the perfect balance and harmony between them.

While this secondary process was taking place, Nightin could feel each and every part of his body, he had regained full control of his body. He could sense his body from head to toe, from his muscles down to the bone and cells.

Making use of the slight stamina which he recovered, he told Phoenix weakly "Stop crying, I am still alive."

"You, you lied to me!" Phoenix cried out as more tears flowed out her cheeks like the delicate beads from a pearl necklace, rolling down her cheeks as they break apart.

Before Nightin could react, she had already thrown herself into his warm embrace, her cheeks were on his chest. Only after feeling the pulsating heartbeat and the slight warm that Nightin's body was radiating, did her hug slightly loosen up.

Looking at her ruffled hair and puffy eyes, he could imagine a dazzling beauty just crying her heart out just a moment ago.

Placing his hand behind her back, Nightin pulled her tighter into his embrace and said "I am sorry, I shouldn't have been that reckless."

He wanted to reprimanded or even tease her for hugging him this tightly and blaming him for making a lame joke, but he could feel a gla.s.s piece on his heart threatening him. Tease her and you will die!

Sniffing, she ask "Promise me that you won't be that rash again in the future, alrite?"

Nightin nodded as they just laid there for awhile, the arkward silence between them was soon broken by a question Phoenix posed "Just what will our relations.h.i.+p be like in the future? I mean, you still have Charlotte..."

Nightin was at a lost for words at this moment as he said "I don't know either. I don't even understand myself, is it grat.i.tude or love that I have for you? I won't be able to figure that out."

"Still, do you like my current body?" Phoenix asked as she stood up, her feathers were still barely covering her body and Nightin blushed upon seeing this taboo scene.

"If you don't turn around, it means that you aren't in love with me." Phoenix laughed as she made use of this opportunity to tease Nightin back.

Nightin gradually recovered his stamina and after about what seems like a few hours, he stood up and realised that the pressure the black pearl emits, is much weaker compared to before.

This is not because the black pearl got weaker, but because Nightin finally understood his sword heart and made his breakthrough to the middle stage Martial King realm.

If he were to cross swords with Dave who would end up waiting there for years right now, the only way Dave can remain undefeated is to reveal his claws and demonstrate the true strength of a Sage.

With his body br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy, he reached out for the black pearl...

When Nightin and Phoenix appeared outside at the cave entrance together, Dark Fang was shocked by her appearance ane couldn't help but still a few more glances, but soon controlled himself upon realising that she belongs to Nightin solely.

Walking up to Nightin, he half kneeled and said "I am sorry for being late young master, please forgive me for having taken such a long time."

"You may rise, it isn't your fault that I placed my life in danger due to my own selfishness." Nightin said as Dark Fang stood up from the ground.

"Young master, do not attempt the third trail until you are at the Martial Emperor realm, the trail guardian is a completion stage Martial Emperor and every trail, will correspond to another increase." Dark Fang shared his findings without any hesitation.

"How did you figure out the info?" Phoenix stepped in front of Nightin and ask in an enchanting voice.

Dark Fang felt his mind go blank for a moment before he regained his composure and explained "While I was waiting, I studied the puzzle and realised through my ultrasound frequency that these hidden rules, were being concealed behind the puzzle and it was intentional."

"Alright Dark Fang, thanks for the info. Do you have any idea on how to get to the Evil Force academy from here?" Nightin asked casually.

"We can find the way after we leave this place, there is a place known as the Voyager harbour Headquarters nearby of here, maybe they can navigate us there." Dark Fang said as he gestured for Nightin and Phoenix to follow.

Along the way, Dark Fang couldn't control his curiosity anymore as he asked "Young master, may I know about her ident.i.ty?"

Nightin nodded and said "This is Phoenix, she is the human form of my sword which you have seen previously."

"Isn't your sword just at the low..."

Before Dark Fang could finish his sentence, Nightin cut him off and said "That was in the past, she is a high grade Savior sword now."

Dark Fang nodded and was about to pose another question when the morning rays blinded his light, they were at the exit and it was early morning at the moment.

They could hear the rustling of little animals in the bushes and the welcoming cries of the birds for them. World, here the trio comes.
