The Adventures Of The Young Master

Lux let go of the sword as he knelt down, screaming in agony. Just hearing his scream had let everybody know how painful he was experiencing right now. His friends wanted to help him but they didn't know how to since they didn't know what's going on.

Finally, Aram, one of Lux's friends, steeled his resolve and went to Lux who was still in extreme pain. Then he asked, "Young Master, what's happening? Tell me so that I can help you."

Right now, Lux had a skin of red and pale face. His veins were also bulging for some unknown reason. Aram didn't know what's happening, not even an ounce of knowledge about this. It wasn't like this when Lux failed for the first time.

Lux looked at Aram and looked like he wanted to say something. Unfortunately, he couldn't do so because of the excruciating pain he was feeling.

The fans of Lux in the crowd were also nervous. They didn't know what's going on but it's definitely not good.

Confusion ran among the crowd and even the victim was greatly confused, Lux himself. He thought he prepared enough and could even say that he had a decent chance of pulling the sword out successfully. However, what went wrong this time? Involuntarily, he looked at Jin Rou who was looking at him already.

There was the expression of mockery in Jin Rou's face as he said, "I told you that you have to be at least at the Curse Breaking stage to try your luck. Now, you just ruined your good opportunity."

Everyone was more confused of Jin Rou's words. What was he talking about?

Jin Rou only paused for a moment and eventually continued, "Ravenray Blacksmith's sword has the curse called Potential Absorber. Just like the name it suggests, it's a curse that sucks potential of a person."

For aspiring blacksmiths, potential was vital and couldn't be go unnoticed. After all, it held one of the greatest importances in order to become a successful blacksmith. Thus, a curse that affected one's potential was the worst news they could have.

All swords made by blacksmiths have curses and the curses were depending on how the sword was created. That's why aspirants had to be undergo the Curse Breaking stage for them to prepare for the curses. After all, even the swords they'd make would have one curse or two depending on the ingredients origins.

Jin Rou walked up to Lux and touched his head. He transferred a bit of his energy to cleanse the veins that were affected by the curse. By this, Lux's pain would decrease by a level. However, Jin Rou didn't heal Lux so the young master had to search for his physician to have a check up on his body..

"I have lifted one of the four parts of the curse. You have to deal with the three parts on your own." Jin Rou spoke, "Now, your potential has decreased significantly and I don't think you'll become a blacksmith this sooner. However, I can assure you that you can recover most of your potential if you know the right direction."

Jin Rou wasn't that evil to watch Lux suffer. After all, the other party didn't particularly provoked him to the extreme or whatsoever. Lux was just blinded by his confidence and Jin Rou needed him to wake up from his arrogance.

"What is the right direction?" Lux asked weakly. His prideful self could no longer be found. His potential being affected so much had hit him hard. As a matter of fact, he was already thinking of quitting becoming a blacksmith.

"The right direction can only be decided by you." Jin Rou spoke calmly, "Just like knights and cultivators, they have to choose their own path, the path that they think the right direction for them. So you have to think about your right direction from now on. Don't be blinded by confidence too much or else it will be detrimental to you again. In fact, this event can happen to you for the second and third time."

Han Li had seen countless brilliant blacksmiths fall because of their arrogance and pride. Thinking that they could carry the world with their swords eventually made them realize how small as an ant they were in front of the grand schemes of the world.

Lux was a good sprout and if nurtured well, he could be more brilliant than that of his master. As long as he was guided accordingly and nothing fatal happened, he could still become a successful blacksmith in the future.

Lux pondered this for a moment and bowed in front of Jin Rou, "Thank you for your guidance. I will be leaving now."

After saying that, Lux left with his friends. His expression was grave and serious as he disappeared from the crowd.

Goldenchild had his mouth wide open from surprise all this time. Thus, Jin Rou said, "You might not notice if a fly suddenly enters your mouth and germinate inside your body. Who knows?"

Goldenchild immediately closed his mouth and laughed in awkwardness. Then, he asked, "The more I got to know you, the more I can't understood things. It feels like the common sense of this world is overturned by your actions. Why am I feeling that?"

"It's because I cannot be associated by common sense." Jin Rou smiled and said, "As you can see, I am an all knowing person. The secrets of the world are nothing in my eyes as I already discovered them long ago. Nothing can hide in my eyes."

It was true. Han Li had lived for trillions of years and his knowledge was worth more than that. During his life, he traveled to many places and uncovered the mysteries lying within. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest entity of Nine Heavens.

Goldenchild was speechless. He knew that Jin Rou wasn't lying when he said these words. If that was the case, Jin Rou was someone he couldn't afford to offend! Not even his family could save him if he ever offended this existence in front of him.

Fortunately, Jin Rou might have taken a liking to him as a lackey.
