C19 The Bloodline Of A Phoenix

He didn't know why but he felt strangely attracted to this boy like he had known him before but when he searched through his memories, he didn't find any trace of him and that could only mean one thing, he was from his previous life so he asked him to be his disciple to study him and see if he could trigger any memories.

"Mister, who is a disciple?" Tom asked innocently with a curious look on his face.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that you are only a child, a disciple is someone who follows his master and listen to his instructions as he teaches him and passes down his knowledge onto him, so would you like to be my disciple" James explained to Tom then asked him again.

"Yes I would like to be your disciple, does that mean I will be as powerful as you" Tom said excitedly.

"Yes it does but you see, with great power comes great responsibility so you should be ready to bear a great burden because the power that I will give you will bring you trouble but don't worry because I will be there to protect you so now you just have to say that you acknowledge me as your master" James said to Tom with a wise smile.

"Okay, I acknowledge you as your master" Tom said with a smile as he bowed to James.

"Good now let's go, say bye to all your friends" James said to him then looked towards the crowd whose eyes were filled with envy.

"Bye everyone, don't worry when I strong enough, I will come back to protect you" Tom said to them as he waved his hands towards them and after hearing his words, those who previously envied him now looked embarrassed.

After saying their final goodbyes, they left on the flying beast and headed into the forest where they stopped to rest for the night.

"Rest well tonight, tomorrow you will awaken your talent" James said to Tom with a smile as he sat on the ground and pretended to meditate and after observing him and making sure that he was asleep, he stood up and climbed onto a tree.

"Now ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have been waiting for, let's open the diamond grade chest" James said with stars in eyes as the chest appeared with a bright resplendent light but as he was about to open it, he suddenly paused and looked around before touching it and disappearing.

He appeared in his dimension space with the chest which was still releasing a bright light then he placed his hands on the chest and took deep breath then opened the chest which released a light that was so bright that he had to turn his head away and cover his eyes with his hand until the light disappeared.

After opening the chest, he let out sign of relief because he knew that if he had opened the chest in the forest, the consequences would have been severe.

Only then did he look into the chest to see the items inside and when he did, his expression changed to that of shock but not because there was only one item but because of the item itself.

"How can this item be here, or could it be... hahaha this will be my trump card in my next fight" James said excitedly as he stared at the item with wolf eyes before putting it away andopening the dark gold chest which also provided a item that he also put away before going back to the forest and meditating.

By morning, James woke Tom up to start training, he told him to do 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups and other exercises.

After finishing his exercises, he taught him some fighting technics and to his surprise, he grasped them pretty fast.

"Now are you ready, you won't feel any pain and all you have to do is to place your hand on this orb and let me do the rest" James explained to Tom who nodded his head with a serious look which made James to laugh.

"Did I do something wrong, why are you laughing master" Tom asked when he saw James laughing.

"Oh it's nothing, I just remembered something, place your hand on the orb" James said to him with a smile. When Tom placed his hand on the orb, a dim red light appeared which started to increase when James infused it with energy.

By the time it stopped, it was already as bright as the diamond grade chest before he opened it.

"Wait this is a high grade fire talent, no this is more than a high grade, as I expected he is soecial" James said with a look of shock then he had an idea and used inspect on him and what he saw shocked him more.

"Wait how can he level up with me or is it because he is my disciple, why are his talents and skills locked?" James asked himself with a confused expression.

[HE IS A REINCARNATED EXPERT ]

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard the system voice which startled him.

"Wait what did you say" James asked the system because he thought he didn't hear it well.

[HE IS A REINCARNATED EXPERT LIKE YOU AND I AM 99.9% SURE THAT HE WAS THE REASON THE DEMONS CAME HERE]

At that moment, everything made sense now, Eric, the children, the first demon soldier, the demon lieutenants, they were all trying to prevent Tom from awakening and Eric was caught up in it.

"The demons must have gotten a way to possess Eric and made him take the children to the forest where they would be killed and maybe he tried to resist and was killed so when the demons found out that their plan was foiled they sent a full demon squad to eliminate the entire city and also to make sure that no mistake was made but they would never have expected that there was someone who could stop him and that means that they will most likely send more than the last time now and from this I am sure that, he was a powerful expert" James said as he looked towards him with a complex emotion.

[HE HAS A MYSTERIOUS BLOODLINE THAT IS RELATED TO HIS TALENT BUT I CAN'T RECOGNIZE IT]

"I must protect him since I have already taken him as my student, this is gonna be one tough battle so I have to prepare him for this" Jane's said to the system.

"Master can I open my eyes now?" Tom said before James realized that his eyes were still close.

"Yes you can and congratulations, you have a high grade fire talent so I will give you your first fire skill to learn" James said while transferring the fire domain skill to him mentally.

"Wow master Is so powerful, I have never seen anyone who can teach a skill to someone like this" Tom said with awe as he felt his head being filled up with information.

"Well all the people you have met are all normal" James said to him as he observed his expression.

After keeping away the orb, he took him out to gain experience through battle.He took him to a place with little monsters and concealed his aura while hiding in the bushes and prepared to step in when he sensed his life in danger.

FIRE DOMAIN

FIRE DOMAIN

Tom used the skill twice while battling five rank 1 one horned ants at the same time. While he was fighting, another ant suddenly joined the fight causing him to block the combined attacks of 6 rank 1 one horned ants and after sometime, he started to gain the upper hand which surprised James because this meant that he had already mastered the technics that he had taught him.

After sometime, he managed to kill 3 of the one horned ants but he had also gained some injuries and while he was fighting the remaining three, one of them managed to Land a hit on his chest which knocked him off his feet and caused blood to flow out.

As James was about to step in, he was stopped by the system who told him to hold on.

"What do you mean hold on, he is get..." James stopped instantly because the next moment, flames burst out of Tom's body and enveloped the whole area including the ants which burned to a crisp and that same moment, the systems voice also sounded.

[I HAVE FINALLY IDENTIFIED THE BLOODLINE, IT IS THE BLOODLINE OF A PHOENIX ]
