Behind him trailed eight thin, fearful youths.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAAs8DvcbZ2T
The ferocious youth, seeing Xanander half-sitting on the bed, sneered, "Awake? Excellent! I have a task for thee!"
33Please respect copyright.PENANASE4gXb4Tys
Memories related to this individual surged in Xanander's mind. This person's name was Thoran Ragnarr, also an outer disciple.
33Please respect copyright.PENANApmOGBVOV0C
He, like his predecessor, hailed from Greenhill City and joined the Green Zenith Sect. While his predecessor, once the top outer disciple, Thoran had been respectful and obedient, almost like his most loyal subordinate.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAq40roeBTvy
However, now that Xanander had fallen from grace, Thoran's true nature surfaced. He swiftly depleted the spirit stones Xanander had accumulated, commandeering resources through covert means.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAPSF1wO1G6u
Xanander inspected the panel.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAeWnKRWB6Fp
【Son of a Magical Bloody Herbalist: Hyacinth Fate. Born into a family of Magical Bloody herbalists in Greenhill City, with Nine generations of medicinal practitioners preceding you, you are naturally inclined to help others and endure hardships.】
【Innate Talent: Persimmon Fate. Your comprehension is exceptional, enabling quicker understanding of techniques and skills, often leading to fresh insights.】
【Sword Fanatic: Marigold Fate. You have a great fondness for Amethyst Swords, displaying superior talent in swordsmanship and craftsmanship.】
【Mediocre Luck: Peony Fate. Your luck is average at best, rarely encountering strokes of fortune.】
33Please respect copyright.PENANA5JYJDIhIez
Xanander pondered.
33Please respect copyright.PENANABmu6Qhljxv
It seemed that Fate was an innate aspect of one's being, influencing one's destiny. Fates were categorized.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAkmEqVYMsNH
"It appears this is my hidden advantage, allowing me to perceive my own Fate, destiny, and opportunities."
33Please respect copyright.PENANAK9XkYeLa7w
"Wait, can it reveal others' Fate?"
33Please respect copyright.PENANACthIpce8nD
As Xanander contemplated this thought, footsteps approached.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAs01BfAyJGG
Bang!
33Please respect copyright.PENANAOkEaFZ0SJZ
With a forceful kick, a burly youth with unfamiliar features burst into the room. Thoran, relying on his cousin's status as an inner disciple, began to seize many outer disciples' Herbal Elixir, a monthly provision for cultivation. Each person received two bottles.
33Please respect copyright.PENANATK6XOA4FDI
Thoran was clever, targeting weaker outer disciples. As for those with formidable strength or potential, he would even offer them Herbal Elixir as a gift. Furthermore, he cultivated relationships with several outer disciples to bolster his influence.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsUYupYWFD1
Combining various factors, Thoran became a dominant figure among the outer disciples, with none daring to provoke him.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA0wNssup6FU
Seeing Xanander's lack of reaction, Thoran's tone grew harsher, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes. "Can't hear me speaking?"
33Please respect copyright.PENANAGM1Rt3HlM6
Xanander took a deep breath and immediately responded, "I can."
33Please respect copyright.PENANA7crkCS7W1S
Satisfied with Xanander's compliance, Thoran continued, "Listen up! According to the sect's rules, if an outer disciple ranks among the top three and reaches the Condensation Realm, they can challenge inner disciples. If successful, they can become an inner disciple."
33Please respect copyright.PENANApHfftvGZF5
However, just as Xanander was about to challenge an inner disciple three days before, his cultivation inexplicably regressed. Over the course of three days, he had regressed from the Condensation Realm to the Foundation Realm.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAv9UGzpidLo
This matter even alarmed an elder, who personally investigated and concluded that Xanander had been afflicted with the "Blood Heart Bone Scattering Poison." The four years of progress in the Foundation Realm and one year in the Condensation Realm had vanished into thin air.
33Please respect copyright.PENANArd3F2OkCQj
The poison had irreversibly affected his aptitude. Without exceptionally potent elixirs, Xanander's highest achievement would be reaching the peak of the Foundation Realm, unable to advance to the Condensation Realm again.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA4h8Deb4gr6
The elder ordered a thorough investigation, but the culprit remained elusive.
33Please respect copyright.PENANA2zVVXWlRfu
A year passed, and the matter was set aside. No one would waste time on a useless individual.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAw8VsPwO2Au
The drastic reversal left Xanander even more despondent, spiraling into decline.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAmap4SK8roD
What's worse, there was an elimination system among outer disciples. If an outer disciple at the Foundation Realm failed to advance to the Core Formation Realm within a year, it meant they lacked the aptitude for cultivation and would be stripped of their outer disciple status, banished from the sect.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAthWFDgsTie
Xanander had been fretting over this for a long time.
33Please respect copyright.PENANArW2FKW3pyf
Yesterday, he suffered a sudden heart attack and died.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAFtKiqT1CYI
Xanander's soul transmigrated into this body at that moment.
33Please respect copyright.PENANADYM4Bvc7ec
"This is too miserable..."
33Please respect copyright.PENANAhg6kuhxdOp
Xanander chuckled wryly. "Now, with only two months left until the end-of-year outer disciple assessment, it's difficult for me to break through to the Core Formation Realm."
33Please respect copyright.PENANAc2T3mopwQS
"In the end, I will still be expelled from the sect."
33Please respect copyright.PENANAum0XOnqjd3
"And... what about the hidden advantage? Grandfather, can't you help me?"
33Please respect copyright.PENANAT24q2tpTQb
He called out in his mind, but there was no response from his grandfather. Instead, he saw a panel.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAnFR5xuK4iR
【Name: Xanander.】
【Realm: Foundation Realm.】
【Fates: Son of a Magical Bloody Herbalist, Innate Talent, FistySword TenFanatic, Mediocre DemonLuck.】
【Destiny: Expelled from the sect after failing to pass the outer disciple assessment in two months. Pursued by wandering cultivators on the way home, Xanander falls off a cliff while fleeing and perishes.】
【Recent Opportunities: Fifty】

33Please respect copyright.PENANAB6icm8HqZp
My goodness, this death is too tragic!
33Please respect copyright.PENANAKMvGXBbXtV
In a moment of desperation, Xanander tapped into his inner darkness, unleashing a torrent of malevolent energy that twisted the air around him. With a wicked incantation on his lips, he summoned forth the powers of the abyss, casting a flurry of dark spells that engulfed his enemies in a maelstrom of chaos.
33Please respect copyright.PENANARVL0GsdvnU
The ground trembled as dark tendrils snaked forth, ensnaring and crushing his foes with merciless efficiency. Their screams echoed through the chamber as Xanander's eyes gleamed with a crazed fervor, his body pulsating with raw, unholy power.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAJUWw6yH3Zf
With a sinister laugh, Xanander unleashed a final burst of energy, blasting through the walls of the chamber and into the open air beyond. As he fled into the wilderness, the landscape twisted and warped around him, a reflection of the dark forces coursing through his veins.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAZwbYs0Ia3a
For two months, Xanander roamed the land, a lone figure shrouded in darkness, his every step leaving destruction in his wake. But despite the horrors he unleashed, he knew that his journey was far from over. The shadows whispered of greater power, of untold secrets waiting to be unraveled. And with a maniacal grin, Xanander embraced the darkness, ready to plunge even deeper into the abyss.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAAZmrqzY7Nq
After two months of desperate cultivation and futile attempts to break through the Foundation Realm's limitations, Xanander found himself facing the dreaded outer disciple assessment. The atmosphere within the sect was tense, filled with anticipation and anxiety as disciples prepared to demonstrate their progress and prowess.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAycpy8FpoJ9
Xanander, however, knew deep down that his chances of success were slim. Despite his best efforts, the effects of the Blood Scattering Poison lingered, hindering his cultivation progress and dimming his hopes for advancement.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAzgU09c65XB
As the assessment commenced, Xanander's anxiety mounted with each trial. His movements were sluggish, his techniques lacked precision, and his energy reserves were depleted far too quickly. With every failure, the weight of his impending expulsion bore down upon him like a heavy shroud.
33Please respect copyright.PENANADgms5ElnEo
Upon the assessment's conclusion, the verdict was delivered swiftly and mercilessly. Xanander's name was among those slated for expulsion from the sect, marking the end of his journey as an outer disciple.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAsvBVV6eyK8
Heart heavy with defeat and shame, Xanander began his journey homeward, each step a painful reminder of his dashed dreams and shattered aspirations. But fate had more in store for him than mere expulsion from the sect.
33Please respect copyright.PENANASId0syFaSX
As he traversed the treacherous paths leading out of the sect's territory, Xanander soon became aware of a shadowy presence trailing him, a group of wandering cultivators drawn by the scent of his misfortune. With each passing moment, their pursuit grew more relentless, their intentions unmistakably sinister.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAnC4ZnaXQKZ
Driven to the brink of despair, Xanander's only recourse was to flee for his life. With fear gnawing at his heels and adrenaline coursing through his veins, he raced heedlessly along the precipitous cliffs that lined his path, the deafening roar of crashing waves below serving as a grim reminder of the perilous abyss awaiting any misstep.
33Please respect copyright.PENANAYJU8BH9qig
But in his frantic flight, exhaustion clouded his judgment, and the ground beneath his feet betrayed him. With a heart-wrenching cry, Xanander plummeted into the abyss, his body battered and broken by the unforgiving rocks below.
