The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 321: This Chapter is too dirty!

It was absolute darkness.

Victor, who was floating in emptiness, looked around calmly after opening his eyes.

Where was he?

He began to remember what happened… Yes, he was with Lily. 

That girl really knew how to please a man with her body… she didn’t even need to try!

It was at that moment when they hugged each other and reached their peak completing round one! He felt some crazy pain go through his body.

He knew that this was probably his blood that was awakened.

So he prepared for it… And then he felt dizzy and passed out.

But where was he now? What happened? He never read about similar phenomena before!

He was floating in midair, which meant that this was his soul body. He quickly began to inspect it.

He quickly remembered what Yin said that day, feeling the top of his head and sure, it was there. The two snakes eating each other forming an infinity sign. Ouroboros time sign!

He touched his shoulder and on it, the other symbol was there. If he didn’t know its location he would have missed it, as it was a very faint golden Ψ symbol.

What is this… it looked familiar… Was it a roosterʼs footprint? did that fucking cock do something to him?

Impossible! he only met him today!

Victor was pondering on it when frowned and held his head as he felt a great pain in his mind. 

The ancient knowledge that came from his bloodline began to pour into him. His bloodline had awakened, so this was a natural phenomenon. This knowledge was teaching him what he needed to know.

It was how a calf can walk on its own, and how a bee knew how to fly by itself.

Now, he also knew that he was a dragon.

He totally forgot about the symbols as he instinctively realized one thing… Now he had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He had to be quick!

Now, at the time of awakening, was his one chance to use the energy from his awakening to activate any ancestral dragon power he designed free of any restraints no matter how absurd it is.

Was there something like this? Isn’t this too damn overpowered? Strange… He never heard of anything like this in his past life.

He frowned, not knowing what to do he decided to try, he didn’t have a lot of time.

He had three powers that he could choose from.

; ;
SPACE FRACTURE that allowed him to travel to any place not caring for its place, or a permanent gate between two spots or cross into the space between spaces. Its cost, paid in order points, would depend on the distance and the size.

DEVOUR will allow him to eat things and extract their power. Its cost would usually depend on the item’s rank.

HEAVENLY FIRE that allowed him to burn any place on the planet by just a thought. Its cost depends on distance, strength, and range.

Those are the basic skills that represent the basic response to danger. Flight, Freeze of Fight…

If he wished now, he could totally erase Vein City or the entire heavenly sect if he wished to… But that would be a total waste of this opportunity as enemies would always exist!

He needed to use this opportunity to make himself stronger.

He decided to use one of the most ancient and most powerful dragon techniques.

; ; DEVOUR
This skill according to the memories he got would allow him to extract the powers of everything he eats… It is limited to one thing per type though, and eating similar things would give him diminishing results.

He had no idea how this thing worked, but if this was used wisely, it would be amazing.

What should he devour first? He wondered as he felt an ancient hunger dwell inside of him as he intended to use this power.

He had nothing here….

SHIT!

Would his ring work?

Yes, he could feel everything inside his ring!

First, he tried some Gems…

One quickly disappeared from his ring and in the next moment, he could feel a minute amount of energy go inside his body.

MANA INCREASED

He smiled as tried another GEM, but nothing happened. As expected… 

After that, he chose to devour the ceremonial dagger he got from the midget at the skeleton dungeon.

; ;
ARTIFACT DEVOURED!

【INCREASE INTELLIGENCE】ARTIFACT SKILL was converted to +10 Intelligence points.

【DOES NOT DULL】ARTIFACT SKILL was converted to SKILL 【HARD SKIN, E】

What! He can get these skills easily!

Next, he wondered if he should try eating the golden goose… No… Absolutely not!

He tried one golden egg though. It disappeared from his ring immediately.

Great! It seemed like minerals had the effect of increasing basic Attributes.

If he knew this he would have filled his ring with all kinds of things.

Regardless, he already owned many useless materials in his ring, so he began to eat randomly.

; ;
HEALTH INCREASED

STAMINA INCREASED 

MANA INCREASED

Next, he tried something else…. Chose one of the best storage rings he had… He was planning to give this to Elise, but now he had a better use for it.

; ;
STORAGE RING DEVOURED!

【GREAT STORAGE】ARTIFACT SKILL was converted to to SKILL 【STORAGE SPACE, S】

He quickly decided to try something bigger. The dragon scale armor he got from Sebastian. It was damaged anyway.

; ;
SHIT tasting Energy bar >> STAMINA INCREASED

Algae Cream >> CHARM INCREASED, LUCK INCREASED

Oh… this thing made people lucky! He didn’t know that… he should probably tell his father to increase its price.

Now what is left?

The dragon egg…. No,  he shouldn’t have given it to Hana… DAMN IT

He hesitated again, feeling around his ring. He could feel that those things were not really harmful… but still.

To hell with it! He tried some soul Wine

; ;
INTELLIGENCE INCREASED

SOUL DEFENSE >>> E

He felt nothing wrong.

Next was the soul poison itself….No… He first decided to try the green goo first. Just a tiny bit. Less than a drop.

; ;
SOUL DEFENSE >>> D

STAMINA GREATLY INCREASED

POISON RESISTANCE >>> B

He smiled as he tried to finally try the soul poison by itself, but before he could try that, he felt great pain and began to assault him…. His ethereal body began to disintegrate. Shit…  eating the green goo was a mistake!

If he did nothing, he would turn himself and Lily, who was in his arms, into piles of green goo!

It took him a second to think of a solution. The corpse of the black widow boss who he kept in with the soul poison to marinate… He quickly devoured it.

; ;
POISON RESISTANCE >>> S

ACQUIRED SKILL【POISON BLOOD, A】

He quickly felt better as his ethereal body began to rebuild itself… That was close!

Finally the soul poison itself…. Also just a tiny bit.

; ;

MANA GREATLY INCREASED

COOL! 

He quickly tried to check his body, but failed… he couldnʼt feel it from here. 

Still, as he felt nothing it was likely not dangerous… If only he had a way to know what the hell was happening.

Oh… He had a way to find out… 

He hesitated…Those treasures were really important…

Screw it… He is going to eat everything.

He devoured the knowledge book.

SHIT! This was amazing…He really wanted to try it out, but not now… he didn’t have much time, he needed to hurry.

Now that he was sure of his abilities Victor no longer hesitated. He quickly ate the BLOODLINE BOOK. He was sure that he would get something good.

; ;
YOU ACQUIRED THE SKILL 【BLOODLINE APPRAISAL, S】

AKASHIC CONNECTION FOUND… BLOODLINE APPRAISAL >>> X

Next, he thought for a moment and devoured the Shadow shifting ring.

; ;

Now all that was left was some weapons…NO! He almost forgot.

Seemingly they are all of the same kind and after eating a few, he stopped getting anything good… He didn’t get any new bloodlines like he wanted… Whatever.

He quickly began to eat every weapon and armor he got in his ring until he stopped getting any new updates… He even tried some wooden chips from a broken door!

; ;
STRENGTH INCREASED

AGILITY INCREASED

INTELLIGENCE INCREASED

LUCK INCREASED

CHARM INCREASED

It was not a lot, but not bad either. Seemingly, the more he devoured similar things, the less effective their effect was.

He was feeling almost full now, realizing that the time for his skill was almost over.

Too bad that much of his precious stuff was left at the hotel like the Amber of Verme and the edict shards… He really wanted to eat them. Hell, even his master Ring was with Alpha!

Damn, it…

Now, he could feel it. He could eat one last thing.

Lily… 

No!!!!!!!

Victor quickly calmed himself… What was that just now… It was as if his instincts took control of him.

He felt danger… His bloodline’s desires almost got him!

He heard of this before… People lose their rationality after awakening their bloodlines sometimes… Becoming real monsters.

He needed to find something else to devour and end this before he lost his mind.

He remembered the ouroboros sign… He tried to devour it.

FAILED… OWN SOUL CAN’T BE DEVOURED

What? So the sign was already part of himself?

Then what about the Ψ sign?

FAILED… CONTINUITY PROBLEM 47898111000 FOUND….

WTF?

Victor frowned…

He was out of time…

Did he have anything else….

SHIT! He almost forgot! He smacked his head. This is what happens when you are not prepared!

The thing he had to eat most than anything was the Awakening talisman. The last one he got. Thankfully he didn’t need to waste it on Elise.

; ;
Awakening Talisman DEVOURED.

…

“This chapter is too fucking dirty!” A young man sat at a tree as he read a +18 pirated web novel on his old dumb phone. 

“Axel! Get the fuck down here!” a young woman suddenly yelled at him from below.

“What is the problem, big sister? It’s rare to find you here…” he asked, not going down. He couldnʼt do that, as after reading that chapter he was feeling a little too excited… He couldn’t let his older martial sister see his little brother in his super form just yet.

“SHUT UP AND GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE!” she yelled again kicking the dirt on the ground.

“We can speak from here… Do you know how hard it is to get a signal in this place!” he said absentmindedly as he left a comment on the chapter, cursing at the pervert writer for not including more details after making his readers wait an entire week for the next chapter!

“Fine! You can rot up that tree forever!” she cursed, “Didn’t I warn you not to touch my underwear?” she asked angrily.

“I Didn’t!” he said lazily as he pressed the send button. Maybe he should add a review too, cursing at the author.

“Really? When Little Xi threw her ball through your window by mistake and then went in to get it. She found my panties under your bed instead!”

“Oh… What were they doing there all alone?”

“I am the one asking this!” she yelled. “And how did you know that they were alone…”

“Oops… Maybe I thought they were master’s…” he said with an already prepared excuse. “You know that our master always makes me do her laundry! So it must have fallen while I was doing that....”

“Like hell! Master only wears traditional underwear, not exotic..…” She didn’t continue as she blushed when she saw the perverted smile on his face, she couldnʼt believe he made her say that out loud.

“BASTARD!” she screamed as she found a rock and threw it at him. He professionally dodged. Ever since he was a kid, he was far stronger and faster than the other disciples, even the older ones.

“Calm down, older sister!” he said as he hid behind a tree trunk. “It was a mistake!”

“Shut up, bastard!” she yelled at him. “Was it also a mistake when you peeked at sister Pam bathing? Or touched sister Paula’s butt… or…”

“Things happen!” he interrupted.

“Not twice every week!” She prepared to throw another stone, but the sound of footsteps coming from behind stopped her. She turned around and noticed the middle-aged woman with a wide face, thick lips, and razor-thin eyebrows who entered the courtyard with an elegant man in a black suit. She was acting strangely docile toward him, unlike her usual bossy attitude toward visitors.

 “Ah... Master…. Axel… he…” she exclaimed as she bowed respectfully.

“Tiara, go outside!” her master interrupted. “We will talk later.”

“... I understand…” Tiara said angrily, giving the man with her master an inspecting look while leaving the training courtyard. She was really curious about what this was about. She knew a good peeping spot…

The master said nothing as she watched Axle who quickly climbed down and then bowed respectfully in front of his master and her guest… He had to bow or they would notice his excited little brother.

“Is this the one?” the man asked, carefully inspecting Axle.

“Yes… The poor child, we found him abandoned near our door, so we took him in. A lot of our disciples are orphans!” she said, wiping her fake tears. 

“Show me your hand, young man!” the old man said.

Axel frowned, wanting to clarify that he was not into men, but not wishing to oppose his master, he spread his hand toward the man who placed a stone in it.

Then the next moment Alex was in shock as he felt his blood begin to boil. He quickly threw the stone but it was too late. He could only fall to the ground and scream in pain as his hair turned purple… Then he passed out.
