Chapter 52: 49. Experiences Throughout The Years (Part 3)

After that horrendous event; I decided to be more low key, and to focus on training harder than ever before.

I desired to get stronger.

I knew that all schemes and trickery is nothing in front of absolute power.

If I had enough strength I could have easily prevented myself from being completely stripped of all my hard work and wealth.

However I didn't, and therefore I was used and schemed against, over and over again, without being able to do anything back...

I felt like a fish on a chopping board, that can be used and slaughtered at anytime.

Luckily for me, my tenth birthday was around the corner.

And that meant I was going to awaken my spirit roots soon, and be able to begin to truly walk the path to power.

All I could do was hope for the best and refine my foundation as much as I could, Although it is rumored that having a solid foundation helps, It has no really solid evidence behind it.

If I got lucky and was able to awaken decent Spirit roots I would be able to get a proper position in this fucking clan and receive training and protection.

However, I knew that I absolutely could not get garbage roots; I was no Protagonist who could use some heaven defying technique or receive some god like inheritance, to make spirit roots, I MUST get proper spirit roots.

I was confident though, that I had average spirit roots at least, as my previous self was able to hang around Chang Wu which meant that he couldn't have been a cripple.

However I also wasn't optimistic for something mind-blowing, as the previous me wasn't able to last a single blink from Long Tian.

No matter how weak Previous Bu Cai was, to get killed in such a sad and pathetic way isn't right.

Therefore I'm guessing I don't have a heaven defying spirit root.

So all I could do to help me be more confidant; was to run until my legs couldn't anymore, and swing my sword until my arms couldn't swing anymore.

I refined my martial arts and sword techniques, and also kept up a mediation routine on my downtime, so that I could further the control over my body.

And soon enough, the fated moment arrived.

...

7 months later,

All of the 10 Year Old's of the Chen clan were gathered in a large hall sitting down in absolute silence, it was clear as day that the children where anxious for the upcoming test.

Elders where around to ensure everything goes smoothly, whereas Older Disciples where gathered to see which junior it was worth making connections with.

In the centre of this large hall was an elevated platform which had a single white crystal ball in the centre; this ball was called an awakening orb and revealed the grade of roots for each person.

People were called up one by one, and all of us were tense.

The White ball changes colour according to the grade of roots; The grades and their corresponding colour are a follows,

---------------------------------------------

Red- Trash

Yellow- Low-Grade Roots

Orange- Mid-Grade Roots

Blue- High-Grade Roots

Green- Top-Grade Roots

Violet- King-Grade Roots

Gold- Sovereign-Grade Roots

Black- God-Grade Roots

------------------------------------

Most people who were called up had Mid to High Grade, which is expected as all of them are from a family of cultivators which span back for millennia. Therefore will have a better chance of awakening good spirit roots than others.

To put into perspective the rarity, God Grade Spirit Roots were only every found in 3 people in the entire history of the empire.

Only a handful of people have had Sovereign Grade Spirit Roots in history. The current emperor is said to have Sovereign Grade Spirit Roots, Alongside some other mighty figures and peerless geniuses.

In the Clan, there was only 1 King-Grade Spirit Root of the current younger generation, which belongs to the Clan Leader's Son, Chen Fei.

Soon enough, My name was called, indicating it was my turn.

As I walked up to the podium, my palms were sweaty and my heart was beating rapidly.

I knew this was the moment that would decide everything for me.

I knew that every single fucker behind me was hoping to fail, They were all looking forward to the amusement of seeing a 'Peasant' like me, realising that i could never overcome the fact that I have commoner's blood.

It didn't help that everyone will be able to see the colour in all it's splendor, regardless of how good or shit it is.

I approach with pace as I hated this feeling of nervousness that was nagging me.

Soon, I was standing in front of the white orb which was going to dictate my fate.

I started hoping that whatever bastard that came up with the Foundation theory wasn't just bullshitting as I'd like to consider mine as quite solid.

As I place my palm on the Crystal, I prayed to every god I could think of,  and closed my eyes.

After a couple seconds, I opened my eyes to a scene which I could only describe As wonderful.

All the nervousness washed away from my body, and was replaced with absolute exhilaration.

Even my eyes where starting to tear up, as I saw the vivid colour which brought a huge smile on my face,

I Couldn't care less about what the two-faced opportunist fuckers' faces where like behind me, as I could only focus on my new favourite colour...

What is the fucking colour, you may ask?

It was...
