The skinny girl could not help but look at the insignia on her arm. It was the lowest grade of pure black. A pure black dove.

She then looked at Mylissa again and found her posture looking infinitely more imposing than before.

Within the Carte Blanche’s Crown Academies, among the tens of thousands of new students there, only a few could reach the level of an ace.

Therefore, the girl before her was one of the best among the new enrollees.

“I… I am Selena… I am really sorry about earlier.”

Mylissa’s brow furrowed and as she was just about to speak, another gunshot rang out, and she saw the chest of the girl before her spurt out blood as the latter fell backward.

“You..!!?!” She shrieked as she turned toward the sound of the gunshot and swept her hand.

The raging dark power immediately formed into a semi-translucent emerald shadow and darted out like a bolt of lightning toward the gunman on the street.

The man could not even make a sound before his head was smashed in by the surge of dark power, and he flopped to the ground, dead.

At that hour in the morning, there were few people around, and the ones who witnessed it were even lesser.

Any other pedestrians had already felt while afar and did not dare to get close.

Mylissa was about to check the girl’s wounds as the latter suddenly sprang to life before dragging her and run.

“Quick, run! Follow me!!”

She let out a screech as she tried to pull her hands away.

She had already overslept and was late, if she did not rush to the Soul Fortress now, she’ll waste a whole day’s worth of class!

Yet, the girl before her did not even bother to listen to her, as she dragged her through the alleyways and disappearing from sight.

…

“Where is Mylissa? Why is she not here yet?” Professor Auldmandiller scowled in displeasure.

At the classroom below, everyone had already arrived aside from Mylissa, whose place was still empty.

Lin Sheng looked at her empty seat and did not say anything else.

“Record that. Mylissa Cador, skipping class,” Auldmandiller said coldly. “Let us continue.”

“So yesterday, we talked about the elementary crystal training method. And I trust that all of you have already gone back to try it out yourself.

The training of your dark powers is all dependent on yourself, and not others. You can only try it out yourself.

The three initial stages, amplification, modulation, and temporary activation, all these three stages are as normal as air for us. But for those wild Darksiders outside, these are invaluable guidance.

They had no one to teach them, and as for their awakened dark powers, when it too lacks any dedicated and regimented training, the end result is it going berserk.

Next, I’ll point out a few cases to let all of you better understand what it is like when one’s dark powers go berserk…”

Lin Sheng listened intently to the lecture, and while the books had examples as well, but these were extended versions, and is a more detailed rendition by the professor.

The class proceeded for half an hour.

*Bam!*

The classroom door suddenly opened, as Mylissa appeared panting heavily by the door.

“Professor! I—”

“Stand there until the class is over!” Auldmandiller said coldly as he gave Mylissa a sweeping glare.

Mylissa was covered in wounds on both her face and her body, but the professor did not show a single shred of concern. He only knew that Mylissa was late, egregiously late.

The other students in the classroom all turned towards Mylissa but only Lin Sheng had managed to sense some sort of aura from the proud lady.

He squinted as the aura felt the same as his disciple, Adolf…

“A Paragon of Destiny?” That phrase suddenly sprang to mind.

A Paragon of Destiny is extremely rare, and because Adolf had this within him, and that Lin Sheng was in contact with it almost daily that he could tell the aura.

“From the potency, it’s probably not on her… but she may have gotten in touch with it…” Lin Sheng surmised.

But what does that had to do with him?

He smiled a little before refocusing his attention on Professor Auldmandiller.

Mylissa was punished to stand by the door as Auldmandiller continued his lesson. And soon, all of the general knowledge of the dark powers were explained. Yet Lin Sheng raised his hand.

“Professor, I have a question.”

“Go on.” Auldmandiller looked at his treasured disciple in a genial manner.

Lin Sheng, to him, was the student with the best aptitude he ever had. There was no other like him, and that allowed him, who had always prioritized talent, to be extremely pleased.

Lin Sheng stood up and said.

“Professor, I want to ask, if there are any techniques or ways to enhance our body with dark powers.”

“This question… while it’s out of topic, but I can answer you. There is!” Auldmandiller answered seriously.

He turned over and quickly wrote on the blackboard with a chalk.

“Stimulation, Corruption, and Hypnosis.”

Three words were written on the blackboard.

“These are the three ways to train one’s body, and you can say that all training methods originate from one of these three methods.

If you want to train your body, I’d suggest you go with the stimulation method. It is the most gentle…”

Lin Sheng copied down the notes as he listened to the professor detailing the pros and cons of each method.

Sadly, neither three met his requirements.

As they all required detailed manipulation of dark powers, they were very time- and energy-consuming. Plus, their effects are not that strong either, better for him to opt for exercise or combat training instead.

Based on Auldmandiller’s explanation, the dark powers have very powerful harming effects, and most only will use it to break through their limits. And Lin Sheng kept that in mind.

As he listened on to Auldmandiller’s various advice and warnings, an idea bloomed in his mind.

Compared with the rest, he had both holy and dark powers, two opposing powers within him. Holy powers were the best for healing; perhaps he could use his dark powers to train first, then rely on his holy powers to heal himself back.

After class, all of the other apprentices continued to toil at the workshop while Lin Sheng headed over to the shared training room in the fortress.

He had to test out his idea.

The training room was not a big classroom, rather it was divided onto about ten separate units, and each unit only allows a single user at a time.

Lin Sheng simply picked one and stepped before the door, and he looked up at the surveillance camera above.

*Beep… Snap.*

“Welcome, Mr. Lin Sheng.”

A gentle female voice rang out from the camera and Lin Sheng pushed the door open.

Inside the room was a clean, white cylindrical room. Aside from a pass-coded entrance, there was nothing there, nothing but pure white.

“The Lord of the Fortress has already set your authorization to the highest level. You may use up to five hundred thousand units worth of training consumables daily,” the digital female voice rang out again.

Lin Sheng was once more astounded by the difference in treatment, and he quickly found a place to sit down.

He planned to try using his dark powers to corrupt his body, to force his body to create even stronger cells.

This training was simple, yet very consuming.

Auldmandiller had only provided him a simple training module and if one were to train, they would need medication. It was not something normal Darksiders could afford.

The corruption method was already the cheapest and simplest.

As he sat on the floor, Lin Sheng started to manipulate his dark powers and spread it across his whole body, before slowly easing the inhibition he placed on them.

“Let’s start then…” He closed his eyes as he relaxed, allowing the dark powers within him to start corrupting his skin layer.
