swish! suddenly, he dissapeared from the gate of the azure clan and appeard in another familiar place, a street that he would call home for the next five years. smak! thump! levi felt a stinging sensation across his cheek as he fell on his ass, a slightly sweet taste in his mouth. "you littly rat! what did i tell you about coming around here?! shoo! you are scaring away my customers!!" a middle aged woman with a piece of cloth tied around her head shouted. levi got up from the ground, his face cold. he remembered how this woman would beat him when her bread wasn't selling, just to blow off steam.
swish! the background changed once again, as he appeared in an alley. he was on the ground clutching his stomach, blood causing his dirty old rags to stick to his skin. "hahaha! i can't believe that we had to call this cockroach 'young master'!" one of the two people looking down at him said. "haha, ridiculous!" the other one sneered. he remembered this as well, since the twins only had grade 3 talent, they were treated only slightly better than trash. so when they couldn't take it anymore, they would go look for levi. many people passed the alley, and looked at the scene with indifference. swish! levi appeared on a street. his hair was stuck together with blood and dirt, his clothes had long turned black, with multiple holes. his small body had become skin and bones, as he sat on the ground in a daze. levi also remembered this. only a year had passed since he was kicked out of the azure family, but since everything was provided for him since birth, he never learned about the difficulties of life.
swish! it was night time as he hid behind a wall. he was waiting for the old woman to throw away any old bread. since she always took her anger out on him, he learned over time to not be seen. 3 years after being kicked out of the azure family, he learned a lot of painful lessons. people will beat you because they are angry, and they will sneer at you to make themselves feel better. swish! "humph! trash like you dare to block my carriage?! guards, beat him to death!" star city's mayor's daughter spat vehemently, as two tanned guards walked up to levi, almost beating him to death. levi lie on the ground in a puddle of his own blood, multiple broken bones, as he glanced coldly at the all too familiar girl.
levi passed through many different memories, before appearing in what looked to be star city in ruins. everything was gray except the the crimson blood flowing in the streets. suddenly, person after person appeared in front of him. every person who wronged him in those five years appeared, his parents, his friends, the lady who sold bread, they all appeared one after the other. "hou, it's that trash!" he should just die!" everyday he is beaten and left for dead, but he doesn't seem to get the message!" all of the people began jeering and laughing, their grinning faces were weird. they kept laughing, then suddenly, some of their faces cracked, a black fog escaping from the cracks.
their skin shattered like glass, before revealing black fog like humanoid figures with large holes where their hearts would be. "fall! fall in to despair!" the figures said in weird screeching voices. "release your hate!" they continued. " lose yourself to your desire to kill, let us take control!" the bellowed. "you....want my body?" levi asked with his head down, his voice calm. "yes! leave your body to the demons of your heart!" they had long surrounded him. "fall into despair? release my hate? let you take control? don't make me laugh." levi said coldly. "if you won't let us have your body willingly, then we will take it by force! we will absorb you!" they shouted as they attacked. puchi! "you could have just given your body to us willingly!" many black hands pierced levi's body. "take my body by force? haha" levi laughed coldly. "you, what are you laug-wha-how is this possible?!" they shouted in disbelieve, as they tried to take their arms out from his body.
"take my body by force? ridiculous. release my hatred and anger? those are the source of my strength, why would i release them? my desire to kill is a result of my desire for strength, i don't walk around trying to kill every thing i see." levi said coldly. "i don't know what you are, but since you tried to absorb me, i will absorb you instead!" levi shouted. as he said this, his body released a strong suction force, causing the fog-like heart demons to break apart and get sucked into his body. "you!!! how is this possible?!" they shouted before being completely absorbed. "...i wonder." levi mumbled, he really had no clue. after a few seconds, he returned to reality and opened his eyes.
after opening his eyes, levi found old gray staring straight into his face with a nervous expression. "boy, are you ok? what did you do?" he asked with concern. " when a person sits on this cushion, they appear in their most traumatic memory. one or two heart demons appear, and the person tries to kill the heart demons. while they are in that state, a black fog rises from the person's body and forms one or two black crystals. if the heart demons are killed, the crystals shatter, if the heart demons aren't killed, the crystals grow bigger. but you, boy, what did you do? do you see the amount of those heart crystals around you? they aren't breaking, and they aren't growing. just what did you do?!" old gray shouted. "i absorbed them." levi said. 'how was i able to absorb them though?' he thought.
"absorbed?! now listen here, boy....."old gray started to talk. [young lord, while you were in that special state, you instinctively activated one of the original blood skills, absolute absorption. this skill, when used, will absorb anything from blood, to qi, to mental energy or any different kind of energy, if your blood stage is high enough. but as you are only in the second blood stage, it is impossible for you to use this skill.] avesta explained. "impossible..." levi mumbled. "are you listening, boy?! i lived for hundreds of years, but i have never heard of anyone absorbing heart demons!" old gray shouted, panting with sweat running down his wrinkled face. "what are you getting so worked up about?" levi asked, slightly irritated. smak! "ah? you are getting angry again? i didn't send you to absorb your heart demons, i sent you to kill them!" old gray slapped levi's head, before saying seriously. "anger and hatred is what fuels my desire for strength, if i do not have them, i will stay weak forever." levi said coldly. "....is that so." old gray said after a short silence.
"boy, are you really sure..." old lin, who was silent for the entire time, suddenly opened his mouth. "that you don't want to learn how to refine pills from me?" he asked. "..." levi looked at him silently.
