“Corruption, Violence, and Phantasm…”

After class, Lin Sheng used the break time to ponder the three properties mentioned by the professor.

“If all dark powers have all these three properties, then mine would have one too, but I’m not sure which type I’m more inclined to?”

During break time, all of the students simply sat down quietly as they wrote down notes, not daring to speak loudly or to chat about.

They had endured so much and paid such a hefty fee to be here, all to learn the things that one will not be able to learn in the outside world.

If there was any moment for them to use their time wisely, it was now.

Auldmandiller walked over to Lin Sheng’s side and saw the three main properties written on the latter’s notebook and smiled.

“Do you have any questions, Lin Sheng? All three properties have their own unique traits and abilities, want me to demonstrate?”

Lin Sheng had just meant to ask that.

“Yes, thank you, sir.” He just asked because, regardless of why Auldmandiller treated him so well, learning something was always a plus.

Besides, Auldmandiller did not even bother with the other apprentices who had shifted their eyes to listen in.

With a clap, a small cag with a few white mice in it flew into the room.

“Then, let us see how dark powers corrupt a living being under normal circumstances.”

With a tap, a dark power orb suddenly appeared in the air. It was just a size of a peanut as it slowly flew over to the mouse cage.

The mice seemed to have detected something absolutely terrifying as they started shrieking, their fur bristling and scampered around the cage nervously.

The peanut-sized dark power orb floated over to one of the mice and slowly landed. The dark power had not even gotten close, but the closest white mouse slowly shrank into a corner.

“The corruption of dark powers is faster for weaker lifeforms. But of course, as fast as it may be, it’ll mostly take at least ten odd days.

“But here, to let you observe closely, I can accelerate the process a little.”

Auldmandiller smiled as he gently waved his finger.

The orb of dark power slowly turned back, and at the same time, the closest white mouse to the orb started shuddering as if it was being electrocuted. Its fur starting turning back, so did its eyes.

*Snap!*

After a short struggle, it suddenly lunged at another mouse following a piercing shriek.

Its eyes had totally turned ink black as it started fighting with the other mouse.

“This is corruption, it will trigger the negative memories within a living being’s soul, it strengthens their grudge, but aside from that, corruption will not bring you any additional strength.”

Auldmandiller explained genially.

“As for the other two properties…” With another tap, a brand new dark power orb appeared in the air.

…

Three hours later, Lin Sheng left the fortress deep in thought with his notebook.

The door behind him slowly closed as if an invisible hand was pulling the door.

*Bam!*

The two door panels met and slammed close heavily.

Lin Sheng adjusted his collar as he walked along the path on the field outside the fortress.

After Professor Auldmandiller completed his lecture for both classes, he went on to supervise the other apprentices. As for Mylissa and the rest, they had returned to the main hall to start another round of potion-making.

Lin Sheng, in his boredom, was also released by the professor to do his own thing.

“Head over to the Flowing Avenue. It is popular among the students,” Professor Auldmandiller said.

The Flowing Avenue was the most popular gathering spot for Darksiders in Miga that was near Baine University.

It was originally a bazaar formed by the workshops of the university to sell their additional products and it slowly became to what it was today. Every Darksider would come here to have a look, and some even bought houses nearby to live.

Without a word, Lin Sheng made his way through the small path between the fields until he reached a position about two hundred meters away from the fortress.

He then suddenly held his hand forward. His finger lit up as an emerald light disturbed the air, and formed ripples.

Lin Sheng pulled his hand back, and whiles stepped into the ripples while it was still present.

*Hiss!!*

Like passing through a thin membrane, the scenery before him changed as a lively and bustling street.

He was now standing by the side of the road in front of a chilled drink café.

Beside him was a long line of customers as countless of weird giant avian creatures were slowly ferried passengers overhead.

Before him were a few powerful men in black uniforms and a rubber truncheon in their hands. They were scanning around before moving on.

Lin Sheng had yet to adjust himself from a place of quiet to a cacophonous street.

On the grey pavement on the right, a puff of mist glowing in silver light appeared and the mist soon formed into an ethereal giant fat clown.

He smiled as he bowed, a current of air blew from his pudgy hands.

The clown was about six meters tall and took up almost half of the street’s space. Yet his body was ethereal and simply went through the passersby.

There was no knocking into or pushing, just like an illusion. The clown’s massive hand easily went through everybody.

“The Pierrot’s Darksider Tools, your best choice!” A deafening advertisement boomed from the clown’s mouth. Only then did Lin Sheng realize that that clown was a walking advertisement.

Looking into the distance, the whole street offered all kinds of phantasmal configurations, and advertisements like that from the clown occasionally appeared and disappeared.

Herds of flying beasts would also land from time to time before vanishing into handling as their passengers got off into the buildings.

There was a four-legged dolphin, a green octopus, a meter tall giant mosquito and a humanoid made out of flies. Weird beings passed by Lin Sheng one after another.

If not for him being squeezed inside a group of humanoids, Lin Sheng would have assumed that he had arrived into some bizzaro land.

Then he recalled what his professor had told him before he left.

“The Flowing Avenue is a bazaar where dark powers converge, so you don’t need to be surprised or afraid. Us Darksiders are always a weird bunch ourselves, and there are people in every shape imaginable.

“Just look for what you need and what you want to find. You don’t have to bother about the rest. Some Darksiders are not willing to reveal their identities and will use a spirit conjuration as their double.”

Lin Sheng composed himself and calmly walked through the massive clown. A few steps later, he was through it, and onto the other side.

There were a couple of street stalls arrayed on the right side of the street, and the owner was a person clad in a black robe with a pink pumpkin head.

Lin Sheng looked at what the stall had to offer, and they were mostly scattered items, probably a stall selling decorations and adornments.

A few people squatted before the stall as they enquired about the price.

Lin Sheng then increased his pace, past the stall toward a seemingly normal shop.

The shop was white and seemed no different than a usual sundry store. From outside, an array of wares could be seen.

There was a pretty girl in a white dress standing outside the shop, bowing as she handed brochures to the passersby.

Lin Sheng had taken one as well when he passed through the shop and looked down.

“Dark power gadgets clearance sale! Big spring discount! Discounts on all items starting at 65%, 65%!”
