THE KING OF KINGS

CHAPTER 14: DESTROYING THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM

"Is that all?" Ask Dziban.

"True, why?" Lawrence asked back.

"Nothing, just sorry for hearing it." Dziban replied, turning his face away.

"You... The boy who doesn't know manners." Lawrance said annoyedly.

"Here you go, I'm just kidding, teacher. By the way, why were you so badly injured that night? Are you fighting someone?" Ask Dziban.

"No! I wasn't fighting, rather I was betrayed by my own students. He deliberately asked me to show him how to make a tier 5 pill, but it turned out that he stabbed me with a spear when I was caught off guard due to exhaustion. Fortunately I managed to escape, but it turned out that all the efforts failed because the spear he used had been smeared with Falling Heart poison. But it didn't completely fail anyway, because I was able to meet you." Answer Lawrance.

"Hm... Then one more question, what kind of fire core did you get in the Snow Blood Mountain?" Dziban asked again.

"You can see for yourself." Lawrance answered before finally raising his right palm before Dziban, parallel to Dziban's head.

A few moments later, a blaze appeared above his palm. The fire was bright blue in color, in it there were 2 pieces of semi-transparent white bones that crossed. Dziban was blown away by the pressure of the core of the fire and hit the wall behind him, not only that, his breathing also felt tight because of the pressure. There was still more, his entire body felt extremely hot, even though it was a distance from the core of the fire a few meters away. Realizing that, Lawrance immediately grasped his right palm firmly which made the core of the fire disappear instantly.

"You know what kind of fire core it is?" Ask Lawrance.

"That's.the strongest fire core of 13th order... The Cold Bone Fire..." Dziban replied as he rose, his body still hot. In addition, his back felt very painful because of the impact that was quite hard.

"Hm... It seems you know a lot, your talent is indeed very extraordinary. Then, your first lesson is to address the source of the problem that is causing all your power to be lost." Lawrance said as he floated closer to Dziban "if you can finish it within 5 days, I promise I will help you to reach 7-star Bronze level."

"Bronze level 7 stars?! Means it's the same as the current Aurora's level!" Thought Dziban before finally issuing his answer "Alright! Then we agree! But I still have 1 request, teach me 1 Mythical art as well if I manage to do so."

"Alright, agreed! Then your first lesson starts from today!" Firm Lawrance.

Not thinking long, Dziban immediately cooked the lunch menu. Very simple, just a plate of rice with a side dish of omelet and roasted White Rabbit meat, as the drink he just made a glass of iced milk combined with the core of the melted Flaming Chicken core.

After eating lunch, he immediately sat on the bed. Hundreds of books on cultivation he took out of the Nightcore ring, and began to read them one by one. Lawrance felt that what he did was futile, because there was no way he could find it in all the books.

Dziban continued to read all the books without stopping, even while eating he continued to read them, as well as when throwing dirt, he continued to read them also. 3 days later, he continued to read them also, finally, all the books were finished. Not only Lawrance, he himself was also surprised to be able to read out hundreds of books in just 3 days. In addition, everything was out of his head, he clearly remembered everything he had read. He thought for sure all of this was the effect of the Absolute Phoenix Dragon Emperor's necklace, as there was no other possibility other than the artifact.

"Hows it? Do you know the source of the problem?" Lawrance asked to confirm, in fact, he already knew that Dziban certainly would not be able to find it, but he deliberately did it just to provoke debate.

"No, but I found some clues. The problems related to the soul can only be solved by the owner of the soul, no one can interfere. To find the source of the problem, I just need to get into my soul world, and check the source of the problem." Dziban explained.

"Hoho... It turned out that he was smarter than I thought, my plan immediately failed him. So it's getting harder and harder to accept the fact that he's a 10-year-old." Lawrance thought amazed.

"Now what are you going to do?" Ask later.

"Of course it's into my soul world, especially besides that. I've found a way, you don't have to tell me." Dziban replied before finally taking a cross-legged position.

He closed his eyes, and tried to empty his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a very familiar place. The place was infinitely vast, the atmosphere was like being in space, pitch-black with small, shining stars.

He was very surprised to see something in front of him, a giant cube inside that held back the flow of energy. Inside the cube were bright yellow energies raging like strong winds, but none of them could penetrate the giant cube.

"It looks like I have to destroy it to free up all my energy." Thought Dziban while touching the giant cube with his right hand.

However, his right hand was immediately sucked in by the cube. He tried to pull out his hand with all his might, and managed to pull it out. But it turns out that the giant cube does not let it go, it looks a large vortex on one side of the giant cube, and it happens to be in front of the side of the cube.

The vortex pulled his body so strongly that he could not hold it and half of his body was sucked into the vortex.

"Is it possible that this giant cube should be destroyed by orders from the soul owner?! I don't know what I'm trying! Failing or not is the same, it won't hurt me!" Her thought.

The vortex had already pulled almost from his entire body, only his head was still visible on the surface. Instead of doing nothing, Dziban tried to give the giant cube the command "I am the owner of the soul! Giant cube, smash it!"

Right after that giant cube was crushed unceasingly, all the energy trapped inside it instantly entered into his body.

"Good! My instinct saved me again this time! I'm really lucky!" Shouted Dziban happy.

Not thinking for a long time he immediately closed his eyes, and emptied his mind. He imagined that he was out of the soul world, and it is true that after opening his eyes again he was in the real world.

"How's it?" Ask a brief Lawrance.

"Well, I managed to finish it. Now keep your promise! I even finished it long before the time was over!" Dziban said excitedly.

"Alright, then I only need to teach you 1 Mythical art." Lawrance.

"Then what about the 7-star Bronze level you promised?" Ask Dziban confusion.

"Your strength will return by itself, so I don't need to help you anymore." Lawrance answered while turning his face away.

"What do you mean?" Dziban still looks confused.

"Your strength will return as it was when you have not lost all your strength, otherwise your highest level is a 9-star Silver level." Lawrence explains it in more detail.

"So... You're... Tricked me!!!" Shouted Dziban with an angry face, then swung both his hands against Lawrance.

But all of that was only in vain because the Lawrance was now in the form of a soul, so his attack only pierced through the Lawrance just like that, as if hitting the wind.

"Suckers! Turns out you just tricked me! I'll never be with your words again!" Shouted Dziban annoyed.

"Ah... I just realized it too..." Said Lawrance while turning his face away as if he knew nothing.

"Don't act like you don't know it! You fucking cheater!" Shouts of Dziban growing more and more upset.

"Alright alright, then I will teach you 1 more Mythical art, so a total of 2 Mythical arts." Clear Lawrance.

"Good, then thank you." Dziban said sincerely.

"Eh, why are you suddenly thanking me?" Ask Lawrance to be confused.

"Actually I already knew you were deliberately promising that, the goal must be for me to be more excited to finish your first lesson. I also know you can't possibly do it, surely you'll give something to make up for it. Haha... So now you know who's smarter than us..." Say Dziban while laughing out loud.

"You... You're more of a jerk than me!" Shouted Lawrance annoyed.

"Haha... Then we just start the training, because only 2 more months of clan exams will begin. As for the terms now I don't have to worry, but in the combat exam later I don't have any Mythical art to rely on, so the conclusion is that my winning percentage is very small." Obviously Dziban is long.

"Well, then when do we start? I can't wait to train you, the last time I trained someone was a few months ago." Lawrance asked that instantly made Dziban feel a bad feeling.

"Today, but we'll start tonight. I'm so tired of your first lesson, I want to take a break." Dziban replied before finally laying down his body on the bed.
