Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 252 252: Payback

Half an hour passed before the Portal opened again. A group of youngsters came out of the portal, bruised and battered.

Not a single perSon among them was without injury. Yet, a distinct contrast was evident between the two groups.

The members who had arrived with Xu Shan seemed to bear more severe wounds. Only a handful of them could walk steadily, while others leaned on their companions for support.

"Looks like it's our win this time as well." The Tenth Great Elder laughed, as he patted the shoulder of the Eleventh Elder.

The Eleventh Elder simply sighed. Although he had expected this outcome, he still hoped that things could be different. The girl he was confident about, had only managed to get the third rank in the trials.

The Tenth Elder walked over to his disciples. But instead of congratulating them, he scolded them for not taking all of the top ten ranks for themselves. He told them that he was going to train them even more as he took them away.

The disciples of the Eleventh Elder held their heads down. They had been so confident before coming here, but they still failed.

"If you all hadn't dragged me down, I could've taken even a higher ranking!" Tears streamed down the eyes of Xin Mei who had taken the third rank.

The other youngsters lowered their heads even more, feeling guilty over being weak. The trial was about hunting ancient beasts in the trial realm.

While the other side was strong and free to move in the battlefield, they often found themselves in danger. To protect them, Xin Mei had no choice but to help them occasionally which took time away from her own hunting, lowering her score.

At first, Xin Mei thought that she could catch up to the score of the other side even if she helped her team. But near the end, she realized that the gap wasn't decreasing.

One of the youngsters stepped forward to apologize to her, but she didn't spare any attention to them. She walked towards the Elder, apologizing to him for failing his trust.

'They are truly children. Getting so upset over such a small thing,' Xu Shan thought, looking at the serious atmosphere. He could only shake his head at how pathetic the girl was being.

Xin Mei noticed Xu Shan shaking his head. She was already upset, and seeing his reaction, she thought he was looking down on him.

She couldn't control her anger anymore. This time, she didn't hold herself back and swung her right hand to slap Xu Shan on the face.

Seeing the girl attack Xu Shan, the Great Elder was shocked. But it was too late for him to stop her.

He had already started thinking how he was going to apologize to Xu Shan and punish the girl, but in the next moment, his expressions froze.

Xu Shan grabbed the girl's wrist, stopping her hand before they could touch him. The girl was shocked at his reaction speed, but what happened next shocked everyone present there.

A palm landed on the girl's face, sending her flying into a distant tree.

All the youngsters looked at Xu Shan in shock. The girl was the strongest amongst them, yet she was slapped so easily?

Even the Great Elder was surprised at Xu Shan's speed which was much faster than someone at his realm should've possessed.

"I'll kill you!" The girl stood up, a trail of blood coming down the corner of her lips. She pulled out her sword. This wasn't just about punishing him anymore. She wanted to kill him!

"That's enough." The Grand Elder appeared behind the girl, placing her hand on the girl's head. He sent a trace of his aura, putting the girl to sleep.

Her killing intent disappeared as her eyes closed. She fell into the Elder's arms.

"I apologize for not teaching my disciple properly," the Great Elder apologized to Xu Shan as he picked up the girl.

"It's not your fault," Xu Shan replied.

The Elder had expected him to apologize for hitting his disciple as well, but he said no such thing. It was as if the young man was making it clear that he wasn't sorry for hitting her.

"Since you're done, can you take us out?" Xu Shan asked, bringing the old man to his senses.

"Ah, yeah. I'll take you out of here." The Elder nodded as he gestured for the other youngsters to follow him.

He led them out of the secret realm that only the Elders could open.

On the way back, the youngsters came close to Xu Shan, asking him how he became so strong at such a young age. They even apologized for looking down on him.

Xu Shan didn't pay attention to them. Instead, he was thinking about something else. The trial was over. The disciples of the Tenth Elder had taken the first and second place. So why was it that the mission screen didn't disappear?

He wasn't notified that he had failed. And the mission still existed, which made him realize that he might have misunderstood. The mission wasn't about getting first rank in this trial of disciples.

'Then what could out be about?' he wondered as he carefully went through the wordings of the quest again. But there were no clues.

Sighing, he closed the system screen. If it was something he was going to come across that he could possibly do, he was willing. But he wasn't going to go out of his way to find things he could get first rank in.

The Elder reaches the other end of the first. He brought a token out of his storage ring and used his aura to activate the token, opening a path.

"Once you pass through this portal, you'll enter our Sect," the Elder told Xu Shan while standing in the back.

He allowed his disciples and Xu Shan to exit first, before he entered the portal.

....

Stepping out from the other side, Xu Shan appeared inside a grand sect of the Immortal Realm.

It was the first time he properly sensed the dense aura of the immortal realm. His body felt refreshed immediately, but at the same time, he also felt slightly uncomfortable.

He didn't understand why, but as soon as he entered the true Immortal Realm, an urge inside him arose that made him want to kill someone.
