Chapter 43: 'Deal'

Aniela and Darcel were admittedly a bit at a loss. Whatever this girl was trying to offer them just seems too good to be true. And just why does this girl keep mentioning some big brother as this grand like figure?

Neither could tell why, so the only way to get info is to politely talk. At least that was what Aniela thought. But before she could speak up, Darcel gained a different set of ideas on his own and swiftly said,

"A spirit, huh? So? How do we get out of here, or are you going to send us out?" Bluntly and crudely, Darcel spared no expense in his words. He made his tone sound a bit impatient as well to further add on to his act.

Aniela raised one of her eyebrows at Darcel's sudden rush. Yet, one look towards Sari gave her a general idea of what he was doing.

A smirk as well etched on Darcel's charming face once seeing Sari's flustered reaction.

Truly, Sari's mind was thrown into slight chaos! From all the mind breaking feats she performed, usually, the reaction she gets is shock and innate curiosity.

And these two really special ones were just curios a moment ago! Now suddenly the one name Darcy changed to be in a hurry? Never something like this had occurred in her long life.

"Mnh….Mnh. Really thanks for everything but time is probably screwy here. Who knows how long has passed since we were on our path of enlightenment! Our schedule is very tight, Sari!"

Once Aniela saw Darcel flash her a knowing smile, she instantly got the idea to play along in a hard way. Expectantly the duo watched as the beautiful Sari was thrown for an additional loop.

Darcel was acting on a hunch here, but it seemed the right hunch to call.

He thought about how Sari said before she was around for millenniums of years, making her probably the oldest person he and Aniela ever came across.

But, the way she's acting….it definitely doesn't fit someone with thousands of years of experience.

Even with the oddest of personality, Darcel took a big guess here, but a person like this should retain some level of mature dignity.

Adding on to the fact the Sari herself said she was a spirit, led Darcel to think, just maybe…. she's an incomplete spirit! He had some vague knowledge about complete Spiritual beings from the Organization, which served as some basis for trying this.

"You-you….but, don't you two want the grandest gifts in cultivation no one can ever receive on this planet! Gifts that'll….that'll just crush your common sense of the world you know?!"

Sari's voice had a small bit of urgency. She absolutely couldn't let these outstanding youths go! No one and she truly means no other previous special people are comparable to them!

Their bloodlines, especially Darcy, were just that….magnetic and powerful! Yet Sari couldn't help but feel a slight frustration bubbling within her as she watched the duo faces only remained steadily indifferent.

"For a supposed mighty Spirit, you look far too cute and delicate to be so grand. And frankly, your big brother requirements just sound too troublesome to deal with." Nonchalantly shrugging his shoulders, Darcel outright told the Spirit.

Especially more now, hearing her urgent pleads, Darcel gained more confidence in doing this. Evidently, she really wants them for something.

Something that he and Aniela could use for leverage if this girl speaks the truth.

Backing up Darcel in a seamless combination, Aniela began giggling softly while saying, "Hehehe~, I can see your cuteness changing people's views on beauty but not in the way of cultivation!"

"Muuu….Hmph!" Unexpectedly, Sari started to leak holy cute groans as her face contorted into an adorable pout. But then an idea clicked in her mind, and her eyes brightly flashed.

The adorable pout soon changed into a small smug smile as she raised her hand into the air. Darcel and Aniela watched in odd confusion since they didn't feel any powerful or threatening aura coming from Sari.

Yet, in the very next second, they were at a total loss for words.

'Chi!'

A mere snap of Sari's delicate fingers caused the whole room to ignite in a blindingly white flash. Darcel and Aniela hastily closed their eyes shut as they nearly went blind from the white glare!

Darcel even gathered this light was far brighter than anything Aniela could produce.

However, the intense white flash only lasted for a second. And before the duo could even open their eyes, an incomparable powerful aura seeped through their senses.

An aura so overwhelming that for the first time since coming to this planet threw Darcel and Aniela for a chaotic loop. Hurriedly, they snapped their eyes open only to witness a majestic grand scene.

Above and behind the elegant Sari was numerous luxurious design looking swords all spewing out dazzling multi-colors lights.

Somehow as well, the bright lights radiating from the swords outshined their mystical spirit room.

However, the bright fancy design and shine had only added to the overwhelming power these swords exuded.

Nobody, not Teacher Zala, the Vice Principal, or even cultivators from those higher ranks provinces could compare to these swords.

By Darcel and Aniela's senses, they could tell just a few swings of these swords could split the whole Zakira Academy to pieces! Hell, only one sword could possibly pour the entire Necropolis City to shreds!

To even go further back for their shock, these swords aura might have matched some of the Parsol Organization's lower-level Doctors. And the duo was sure any one of them could easily destroy this city!

Yet something was still bugging them.

Neither Darcel nor Aniela can still sense even a tiny leakage of aura from Sari. Glancing at Sari's face, that small smug smile suddenly grew much broader as she observed their bewildered reaction.

"Hmph! Hmph! Now, do you realize the terrifying might of the gift granting Spirit?! And this is only a small portion of my mighty power!" Finally, proudness filled Sari's aura as she manages to catch these outstanding youths for a loop!

Although, even if they're in slight shock, Darcel and Aniela's mind move at a constant pace. Seamlessly, the duo shifted back to their calm, steady face, causing shock again in Sari.

While making sure Sari understands something like this isn't much to the duo, Aniela tells her, "Not bad, not bad at all, Sari! But….isn't this a little too much broad? I mean, if you want us to agree with your big brother's requirements, we should get one absolute request each. After all, we're special, right?"

Out of all the reactions they could get, Darcel and Aniela were at ease when seeing Sari's face brighten up like she just got candy. Essentially though, it was impossible for Sari to not lit up like the sun.

She's finally on some road of agreement with these two!

Whatever outrageous request they have will cost very little compared to gaining their help. Excitedly, Sari told the duo,

"Mnh! I don't normally do this, but for you two, I'll give you extremely special exceptions. No matter what it may be in cultivation, your wish will be granted no matter the cost! Uhm….as long as it's within reason. But before that, you have to do big brother requirements."

"Well? Just what are these mysterious requirements?" Darcel asked since it wouldn't hurt to listen. And besides, if the requirements are far too troublesome, they can always just lie and not do her quest.

"It's easy! All you have to do is beat this one stinky green guy to a pulp and collect his essence for me. Oh! And you can only come back here once you reach the Heavenly Transformation realm."

For initial reactions, Darcel and Aniela didn't have much. The Heavenly Transformation realm….that realm is quite far for them, but they know in due time they'll achieve it.

And only they could honestly think this with a supreme air of confidence.

For any other youths in this city, even the extreme talents one, reaching the Heavenly Transformation realm, is quite literally harder than ascending to the heavens!

The only thing that was on their mind was Sari's vague description of this stinky green guy.

Indeed with the power she just displayed, this beautiful girl should have no limits. But then again, why is she attached to the Asylum in the first place?

"Stinky green guy? And just who or what is this stink green guy peachy Sari?" Aniela asked her this time.

"Nuuu….just a rat that has been sucking and leeching on the beautiful nature! I'm stuck in this Asylum, or else I would've taught that guy a harsh lesson already! Also, his essence is absolutely useful to me."

Sari explained to them, making Darcel and Aniela wonder again. Asking another question, Aniela said, "For the previous special people….did they also have to fight a stinky green guy?"

"Unfortunately, yes. No matter what happens, that guy just doesn't know the meaning of pain or death. But don't worry! That guy over the years got very weakened and still is to this day. So don't worry about him being freakishly strong." Sari readily assured them with boundless confidence.

"So? Do you know where this green guy is exactly? Or at least the area he's in?" Darcel asked now, feeling this requirement isn't so bad. But he still remained carefully cautious.

"Mnnn….nope! Last I know, that green guy was slithering in someplace with extremely freezing cold temperatures. But you will know when you see him. Literally, that guy's whole body is made up of green, inky goop! Trust me, for special people similar to you, you'll end running into him inevitably."

Darcel and Aniela took one look over at each other. Frankly, there were still a lot of hidden, unknown variables here. Moreover, this girl is surprisingly sparse with information despite all her power.

Turning back to the girl, the duo shrugged as Darcel told her, "We'll think about doing it. If we have some spare time on our hands. But don't expect us to rush back here anytime soon."

"It's alright. Approximately, it's been about a thousand years since that guy even attempted something major and was beaten up for it. His rate of recovery is sluggishly slow, so a thousand years is far too little for him. Just like a rat, he's sneakily hiding." Sari finished off for them with a smiling expression.

Frankly, Darcel and Aniela didn't fully take Sari's word to heart. They are positively sure their cultivation growth will have no problems in the future! Still, what Sari did describe sounds somewhat interesting.

Before either of them could talk more, however, Sari suddenly jumped up. With a surprised look, she told them, "Ah! I've taken way way too much of your time. Now it's time to leave! But remember this, whether you know it or not, special people always come back to me!"

Sari pointed her finger to them, causing a multi-color light to wrap over the two. Before being entirely transported out, she heard Darcy squeak out,

"We'll just have to see about that, won't we?"

….

Outside of the Asylum, only one large group of people stayed near the place. About thirty or so minutes passed since everyone got booted out of the Asylum. Yet the Zakira Academy people were all still waiting.

"I knew it! I just knew it! Those two are one hundred percent showing off their talents, probably making the Asylum keep them longer!" Shai Xia threw out a random guess as she waited near Hao Cao.

Softly smiling, Hao Cao just shook her head as she said to her, "Did you truly expect anything else? They're already proven to be quite the rowdy duo, fufufu~."

Standing to herself, Teacher Zala had an inquisitive expression. This sort of prolonged waiting….she could've sworn she heard about a story happening like this long ago.

A story about a rather odd and freakish youth: however, before she could delve her thoughts into that, everyone suddenly heard the light footsteps of two present freakish geniuses.

"Finally! You're out and….oh? Nice job on actually breaking through in this place!" Shai Xia had cheerfully gone up to meet them while congratulating them.

"Oh, it's only natural, you know? Our enlightenments were quite heavy in that place." Aniela spoke as she, Darcel, Shai Xia, and Hao Cao all grouped back up together, merrily chatting away.

At first, Teacher Zala wanted to question them, but she held it off for now. Clearing her throat to get everyone's attention, she told them, "Now that's everyone here, we're returning back to the Academy. I'm sure you all have achieved numerous insights that need digesting...."
