Behind him trailed eight thin, fearful youths.

The ferocious youth, seeing Xanander half-sitting on the bed, sneered, "Awake? Excellent! I have a task for thee!"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiiW71A6TP
Memories related to this individual surged in Xanander's mind. This person's name was Thoran Ragnarr, also an outer disciple.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT6eBIqR3j
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.

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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKHbnaxOB8
Xanander inspected the panel.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJTkTr7bbZ
【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.】
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i29GOZxnf
Xanander pondered.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIHV9KgYt7
It seemed that Fate was an innate aspect of one's being, influencing one's destiny. Fates were categorized.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5dKSYWFHE
"It appears this is my hidden advantage, allowing me to perceive my own Fate, destiny, and opportunities."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuGlPuoqUh
"Wait, can it reveal others' Fate?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOt34emDUE
As Xanander contemplated this thought, footsteps approached.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AOfb08xmB
Bang!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuORgRRjrTd
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡky4OPNY8vd
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6cqBUmVgf
Combining various factors, Thoran became a dominant figure among the outer disciples, with none daring to provoke him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ngBXhwU7
Seeing Xanander's lack of reaction, Thoran's tone grew harsher, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes. "Can't hear me speaking?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuBsW1JIo7
Xanander took a deep breath and immediately responded, "I can."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfmNsg7nyM
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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM7NTQ3l3N
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwokzMs3ty
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3eKCf9L7X
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwl6ZVN8qW
The elder ordered a thorough investigation, but the culprit remained elusive.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfejP0w3nyT
A year passed, and the matter was set aside. No one would waste time on a useless individual.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx2sAX0imj
The drastic reversal left Xanander even more despondent, spiraling into decline.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4M4RrVP5D
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6hcvHTgXk
Xanander had been fretting over this for a long time.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIODX0HlCyg
Yesterday, he suffered a sudden heart attack and died.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlRwu5oIfx
Xanander's soul transmigrated into this body at that moment.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR7L3pfW6a
"This is too miserable..."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnZts9FDBQ
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."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfqzgPd9hS
"In the end, I will still be expelled from the sect."
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCgsQ3kPqR
"And... what about the hidden advantage? Grandfather, can't you help me?"
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DVQQPR619
He called out in his mind, but there was no response from his grandfather. Instead, he saw a panel.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKbql23ZhX
【Name: Xanander.】
【Realm: Foundation Realm.】
【Fates: Son of a Magical Bloody Herbalist, Innate Talent, FistySword TenFanatic, Mediocre DemonLuck.】

69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURjAZhJPDM
My goodness, this death is too tragic!
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf9P489n0z
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcipCmnnPm
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1HMgtDis
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehfqfGILRe
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P8jLjFNMe
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfOrA4Dqr9
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHYKpOCEA6
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3W3BdFlkh
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTszsA41ne
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgVbOduQ2j
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS0a1aQiUJ
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1JDNI62wq
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.
