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!"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjMA9FNOd6
Memories related to this individual surged in Xanander's mind. This person's name was Thoran Ragnarr, also an outer disciple.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr9J8Qei1g
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gtWVm6sIf
Xanander inspected the panel.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4AOINPLIm
【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.】
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDxSzUYdLD
Xanander pondered.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwLUMEDmSB
It seemed that Fate was an innate aspect of one's being, influencing one's destiny. Fates were categorized.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O06pBy2mz
"It appears this is my hidden advantage, allowing me to perceive my own Fate, destiny, and opportunities."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89BDmEVsM
"Wait, can it reveal others' Fate?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfIlX7uthZ
As Xanander contemplated this thought, footsteps approached.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM8Gtvehfm
Bang!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i3TZ6JyjX
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97i9CibRD1
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA0Kfjzy3V
Combining various factors, Thoran became a dominant figure among the outer disciples, with none daring to provoke him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiIbXBbiP6
Seeing Xanander's lack of reaction, Thoran's tone grew harsher, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes. "Can't hear me speaking?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yUdukqy9P
Xanander took a deep breath and immediately responded, "I can."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6WnENFlYd
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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ4ZbBRMG0
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXxUm6ZDZQ
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5tORROK7
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQXvd3mrsi
The elder ordered a thorough investigation, but the culprit remained elusive.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdGFIhLXcb
A year passed, and the matter was set aside. No one would waste time on a useless individual.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAgm8L8shi
The drastic reversal left Xanander even more despondent, spiraling into decline.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI8YuhYRNI
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWSbqfRT0B
Xanander had been fretting over this for a long time.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHC8G8so9U
Yesterday, he suffered a sudden heart attack and died.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0zqFF06wF
Xanander's soul transmigrated into this body at that moment.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUvrOeTSpu
"This is too miserable..."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCMlKASg5n
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."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiRgB7KAA8
"In the end, I will still be expelled from the sect."
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3meTPWYHV
"And... what about the hidden advantage? Grandfather, can't you help me?"
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sBwmoFLfJ
He called out in his mind, but there was no response from his grandfather. Instead, he saw a panel.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLEczMCxH0
【Name: Xanander.】
【Realm: Foundation Realm.】
【Fates: Son of a Magical Bloody Herbalist, Innate Talent, FistySword TenFanatic, Mediocre DemonLuck.】

68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGALeNmhWL
My goodness, this death is too tragic!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2JHyEKDS
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyWtBj51X8
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD8QYoNp25
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TQXlHECYO
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzWIKOGMLM
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVOddqpT4N
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa9kASPAYP
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5XbQAdR5B
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa3yEew6jk
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ306gM6gnuV
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZ6FRQLUY
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9uBtuzhSz
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.
