P.O.V - David.

"If you all remember right, I had told you all that there would be a prize for the top two disciples from this training right?"

They all sit looking at me quite anxious as I say this.

"Well, the time has come."

"Do not worry, though right now this two came out on top this time there will always be opportunities for everyone to gain a reward after now, but for now, we should give this two the recognition they deserve, for their hard work and progress."

Everyone sits anxious waiting for me to speak.

It kinda seemed like everyone already knew who one of them was.

What they were anxious about was who the second person could be.

"Alright then, the two people who I have deemed to have come out on top are...

Conan and..."

I could feel their heart rate increase as they wait for the second person.

"The top two from this two year course are Conan and... Nari."

As I say this they all take a deep breath and heave a sigh.

"Not quite surprising, congratulations Nari." Hoon says as he hugs her.

And for the first time, she hugs him back... this... this is the first time I've seen Nari express her emotions.

"Quite expected but was kinda hoping it would be me, I'll be at you next time." Hwa says as she approaches her.

Nari looked at her with a beautiful smile.

I've never seen Nari smile that way, not after what happened in the village.

"Of course sister." Nari replies and they both hug tightly.

Everyone goes to congratulate her and why... why does my heart feel this way...

Am I??? Am I getting emotional right now?

Fuck! is this body still affecting me?

'Compose yourself David, you are a Fifty year old man.' I say to myself as I cover my face with my right palm.

I take a deep breath and heave a long sigh.

I guess everyone already knew Conan was going to come out on top.

"Well then children get seated, it is time to dish out the rewards.

You may feel a little envy, it is natural, you are human, but do not let that drive you, use that envy and change it into the will to get better, strive more so that you can also stand at the top of your peers.

I...I am very proud of you all.

I pray I live to see a day when you all stand at the peak of this world as equals and I hope you all can help me witness that." I say to them.

I don't even really know what I'm talking about right now, I'm probably just talking from the emotions I'm feeling right now.

Damn! who would have thought the man once known as Death himself would be feeling emotional before children.

"I...We will ensure you witness that day soon Master." Conan suddenly says.

"Yes Master, we'll get so strong that you wouldn't even need to do anything at all." Byeol says.

"Yes, you'd just need to watch us from afar and pray for us." Hoon says.

"You've never really been an emotional person Master but, I can feel you are a little overwhelmed right now..." Ae-Cha says with a soft voice.

I stand there kinda confused.

"Do not worry Master, we will make you the proudest Master in the world." Beom says.

"I may not know much about the outside world but, I do not think there is any Master that could be better than you Master." Nari says with a soft smile.

Ahh, my heart just skipped a beat.

"What we are trying to say is, thank you for everything and we love you Mas... No, We Love You Big brother Yeong." Hwa says with a soft voice and a pretty smile.

Ahhhhhh, my heart just skipped three beats, I might soon die.

This children, what are doing to me.

"Ohh, ummm something entered my eye excuse me a moment." I say as I codedly wipe the tears in my eyes.

After composing myself I turn back towards them.

"Alright then, that's enough of that, let's get back to business." I say to them as I pull out two pill boxes from my storage rings.

"Alright, in my hands are two pills, one each of the two to disciples.

The between the two, one will have the luxury of choosing first, that is the number one amongst the two.

But before that I need to explain this pills."

"The pill in my right hand is The Supreme Yang Dominating Pill and the one in my left hand is the Poison Fusion Pill.

Now you must understand that this two pills are of great and inestimable value.

The Poison Fusion Pill is so rare and prescious that only five have ever been made in the History of the Murim.

If taken and absorbed well, it grants one immunity to ten thousand poisons and gives one a great boost in their cultivation."

They all look dazed as I explained the benefits of the Poison Fusion Pill.

"Now for the Supreme Yang Dominating Pill, it is a precious pills popularly known to be used when the Shaolin Temple is appointing a knew Arhatt.

It grants immense boost to ones cultivation and grants one great resistance and possible immunity to heat, it could even grant one great resistance to Yin attacks depending on how well it is absorbed.

Now, you have heard the details about the two pills, it is time to make your choice."

Conan slowly gets up and walks towards me.

"I would like to pick the Supreme Yang Dominating Pill Master." He says as he stands before me.

"Alright then, it is yours, take it." I say as I hand him the box.

"Thank you Master." He replies as he receives the pill.

"Alright then, Nari, this belongs to you." I say as I hand her the box.

"Th...thank you Master." She stammered a bit as she receives the pill.

Guess she was quite excited.

"The rest of you have done excellently well, work harder and you will be rewarded, not only be me but by the world... Remember, efforts never denies you."

"Yes Master!" Thy replies out loud.

"Alright then, let's help them absorb the pills shall we?"

Guess I've finally handed them over to their owners, hopefully I can help these two fully absorb them.

And those manuals, they don't know but those are top level Martial Arts I had memorized from the Heavenly Demon Grand Archive.

Each of them are Martial Arts of top Demonic figures who once ruled the Murim.

With those I do not doubt the great heights they would reach.

Now, to help these two absorb the pills.

We go deeper into the cave.

"Alright, Conan, you are first, come sit here before me, everyone sit around us."

They all come around and Conan sits before me with his back to me.

"Alright, take off your top." I say to him.

He takes it off and drops it on the ground.

"Everyone, begin meditating, the pill of Ki into this place will greatly help, except you Ae-Cha, we'll need your healing skills on standby ok?"

"Yes Master!" She replies.

The all begin and Ki gradually begins to flow into the cave towards us.

"Alright Conan, Open the box."

Slowly, he opens the box and the light from pill flashes his eyes.

"Wow, it's, beautiful." He says.

"Yhh, enough admiring, take it in." I say to him as j place my two palms on his bare back.

"I've already taught you all how to absorb pills so I'm not going to go all about that again but this is going to be more difficult, but bare with it, for great reward comes after great pain."

Conan nods his head and takes in the pill.

He begins to absorb it as I support him with his Ki circulation.

Eight seconds after absorbing the pill his body begins to radiate heat.

It keeps getting hotter and hotter and Conan begins to groan in pain.

"Bear it Conan, keep going." I say to him.

We continue and the Heat just keeps getting worse.

At this point everyone is sweating and panting from the heat.

"Urggg!" Conan groans in pain and I notice his body was slowly burning.

"Ae-Cha!" I quickly call out.

"Y...Yes Master." She replies and immediately begins to try and heal Conan.

"Keep going Conan, you are almost done." I say to him.

"M... Master, the energy, it...its too much, I...I don't think I can do it." Conan says with a shaking voice.

"Don't you dare speak such nonsense! You will do it and you will take every single benefit you can from this pill do you hear me?"

"Y...Yes Master." He replies.

We began to reach the threshold, he's about to breakthrough.

"Now Concentrate, you will conquer and do you know why?" I ask him.

"Yes Master." He replies.

"Tell me why." I say.

"Be... Because...I am....Your... Disciple!" He yells out loud as massive and incredibly hot wave of energy bursts out from his body.

He has broken through.

Just before it happened I casted Ki Shields on all the other children to shield them from the explosion.

Pill absorption Number one is a Success.

Unto the next...
