Chu Miao acted quickly and her hand moved. As she did so, she told the professors behind her, "Focus on that bat over there."
Then everyone witnessed a scene they will never forget. The air around the bat seemed to stand still and even the bat couldn’t move forward anymore. No matter how much it flapped its wings, it’s as if a force was holding it in place. Not allowing it to move forward an inch.
Everyone except for Ye Xuan who had seen some of Chu Miao’s tricks was astonished, but that was not the end of it. The next moment, the space around the bat seemed to distort and lose shape as if a big invisible hand was manipulating it. What followed was a sight that was both magnificent and terrifying. The bat seemed to have been wrang by something the way someone would wring clothes to squeeze out water and it turned into a mangled mess.
It was utterly disgusting, but the next second, it disappeared into thin air. Everything, including the blood droplets that were falling into the water below disappeared without a trace.
This time, even Ye Xuan was surprised. He understood a little about the implications of controlling space as Chu Miao had explained some before. But he didn’t expect that her space spiritual element could be this deadly.
She could control a part of space, and within it, she was king. Whatever she wanted would happen. That was why that little bat couldn’t fly forward no matter how much it tried.
"What principle did you use to control that bat?" Professor Wu asked.
Of course, if Ye Xuan, a straightforward soldier could see such a detail, they as researchers could see it even better. But they couldn’t understand the principle behind it.
"Do you still want to see the other two elements?" Chu Miao asked first. Since she had promised to demonstrate, she would keep her promise, unless they stopped her.
After witnessing her squash a bat without even touching it and from such a distance, they didn’t need to doubt her ability anymore. If she continued, she would just scare them to death. There was no need to seek abuse.
"No need, Little Miao, let’s go back inside and talk about the space ability. That’s already impressive enough, we can’t take anymore excitement." Professor Tang replied this time while waving his hands vigorously.
"Okay then, let’s go back inside." Ye Xuan said before Chu Miao could form a reply. He too wanted to understand the principle she had used. Maybe it could help with his cultivation.
He had forgotten to tell her that the element he had awakened was not among the regular five elements of nature. It was more like her light energy, just the opposite.
Indeed, Ye Xuan had awakened the darkness element. This was an extremely rare element that was both feared and revered in ancient times.
In her eighteen years of short life in the ancient era, she had only heard rumors of one person, who had shaken the entire Eastern Continent with his unparalleled power. Even the royal families of various kingdoms dared not provoke him.
Apparently, he showed no mercy to anyone who crossed his path. Because of his power and apparently unparalleled beauty, many powers harboured the thought of trapping him as their son-in-law or to retain him even as a guest elder in their family or kingdom.
With his name alone associated with them, other powers wouldn’t dare to threaten them.
But, alas, dreams were good but reality is cruel. He never gave anyone face. He moved from one place to another with only one guard and a small beast the size of a squirrel.
It was rumored that he was looking for someone. But no one knew who he was looking for and who could be so important to make such a powerful being search relentlessly.
It was said that one time he arrived at a small town and the family that rented him a room in their inn got ideas of betrothal. They wanted to marry off their daughter to him, believing that with their daughter’s beauty, no man could resist her.
Since the rumors had already spread far, everyone knew that he wasn’t interested in any female or male creature. So they decided to cook the rice first and deal with it later.
They drugged his wine and had their daughter waiting in his room under the covers naked before he could go back to rest.
They assumed that with the effects of the drag and the naked beauty on the bed, no matter how much self-control he had, he wouldn’t be able to resist.
What they didn’t know was that no drug or poison could affect him. So, even though he knew about the drug in the wine, he still drank it.
His dark energy was far more potent than any poison. Why would he be afraid of a little aphrodisiac drug?
However, even though he was nonchalant as if nothing had happened, he was already angry. Anyone who dared to scheme against him had to die.
The following morning the owner of the inn didn’t come to attend to the other customers. After waiting for hours and complaining about poor service and laziness, someone finally decided to go and call the owners only to scream the moment they pushed the door open.
All the family members were in the receiving hall where guests were entertained. However, they were all lifeless and their bodies mummified. They looked like skeletons with only skin on top of the bones without a single piece of flesh or a drop of blood.
That was the most horrifying death many people in that area had ever seen. Later, it was said that they had offended the darkness element immortal and he had killed them all out of anger.
After that incident, no matter how many guys one had, no one has ever dared to plot against that immortal again.
Wherever he passed, people would take a detour.
