Warning: The chapter contains gore because of a 'torture' scene.
The people in the vicinity were shocked by what Xiao Yan said. Although it was not wrong to kill the man but asking someone to do it for the experience was strange.
"Why me?" asked Mu Yue. If it was for the experience, surely the other people of their group would need it too.
Xiao Yan then gave her reasoning, "Well... as a cultivator, sooner or later you will have to kill humans. There are different kinds of reactions when someone has killed a human for the first time and that would be fatal if you are currently in a fight."
"As for why you, you are my best friend and I will naturally choose you first more than anyone else in the group. Besides, the boys wouldn't need this as they can take care of themselves. Liu Yang, on the other hand, is not yet suitable to do it. She still needs more time to adjust to the life of a cultivator."
The others heard this and were not offended. All of them know that Mu Yue and Xiao Yan were close to each other. An example was when they fought with the wolves. Xiao Yan went to check Mu Yue first instead of Wang Yong who had more severe injuries.
As for Liu Yang, she knows that what Xiao Yan said was the truth. During their hunts, it was she who made a lot of mistakes when fighting. It was her first time fighting in dangerous matchups. If not because she was at the backline, she might have more injuries compared to Wang Yong.
"Teacher, can I borrow your sword?" asks Xiao Yan which made the teacher get startled for a while. The teacher then handed the sword to Xiao Yan.
"In the future, you will also see things like this!" Xiao Yan then stabs the man's thighs with the sword. They all did not expect this, especially the teachers. Liu Yang couldn't handle the scene as she hurriedly turned away to avoid seeing it.
The man groaned and his expression shows his suffering. His mouth was shut closed by the teachers which made him unable to shout. He kept on trying to escape from the teacher's grasp but the teachers quickly hold him more firmly.
Mu Yue kept looking at the scene and did not turn away. She was not fine looking at it but she endured the horrible sight she is currently seeing.
Xiao Yan glanced at Mu Yue and saw that she did not turn away. Smiling, she then sliced off the man's arm.
The boys saw this and they closed their eyes or looked away from the scene. The teachers already experienced this kind of scene and did not show any expression. They merely glanced at Xiao Yan, not expecting the girl to be like this.
Mu Yue's body started to shake subconsciously. Seeing this much gore was already too much for a child like her. She can't help but wonder why Xiao Yan was not affected by this, since they have almost the similar age.
"Here Mu Yue, kill him.", says Xiao Yan while handing the bloody sword to Mu Yue.
Mu Yue shakily holds the sword. Although she was calm most of the time, the things that Xiao Yan did had affected her. She starts to have difficulty breathing.
Xiao Yan then holds Mu Yue's hand while saying, "Now control your breathing. Breath deeply, there is nothing wrong with what you are doing."
After a while, Mu Yue calmed down. Seeing this, Xiao Yan stops holding Mu Yue's hands and steps back. She then gestured at Mu Yue to continue.
The man that was kneeling on the floor already had his mind break down. The pain he was currently experiencing as well as knowing that you will die any second made him wish for a quick death.
Breathing deeply for the last time, Mu Yue slashed with her sword. This slash separated the man's head to his body in a clean cut. She then released her hold on the sword and quickly hugs Xiao Yan.
"Please dispose of the corpse. We should also end the activity and go back to the school, am I right teachers?" Xiao Yan says while hugging Mu Yue, patting her back.
A teacher then took care of the corpse while the others escort the student. They did not stop Xiao Yan's demonstration as that was something that the students had to prepare for.
They quickly arrived outside the forest and went directly towards the city. They also check the students from time to time to see if they still cannot move on from the scene. They then rode the flying ship at headed back to the school.
Now the gore on this chapter could be said light. Just mentioned it as I don't wanna take a chance getting warned. Also changed it to a parental guidance novel.
You wont hate me doing this right? ;-;
