Sky Fall Legend 81 The Eighteenth Star!

"Bartender! Bring me another round of Riot Goo! Thanks. So kid, what's a great brat like you doing alone in this wild city?" Sigma was drinking a gla.s.s of what looked like green sider, the so-called 'Riot Goo.' Jodye had surprisingly heard about this alcoholic beverage from Kold Rondo. It was made using 13 rare medicinal herbs, and a slice from an origin fruit called the Gooey Mamba fruit. This was Void Door Realm Origin Fruit! Just a slice was enough to make a keg of Riot Goo full of rich energies.

One mug was enough to push a Scholar Realm sage a step ahead! Jodye felt excited, as ever since his original immortal conception awakened his origin veins and origin pool had been increasing in size daily. He had a lot more energy than other experts at his level, and it was only growing. However, Jodye was apprehensive for one reason. Once the cute girl with red hair behind the bar brought over a mug of riot goo and placed it in front of Sigma, the latter unceremoniously slid it in front of Jodye. The bartender looked like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she just smiled and pretended to be blind. The dimples of her smile made Jodye's heart race a bit, which he thought was strange. Was his body starting to enter p.u.b.erty? This should be years away, but Jodye also knew that he cultivated the t.i.tanic Rage path and Chaotic Thunder Annihilation. His body could no longer be considered a normal hero body.

"If I drink a lot of this, then will I be unable to benefit from the direct consumption of a Gooey Mamba fruit?" asked Jodye Trill innocently as he sniffed the mug in front of him.

"Oh?" Sigma raised a brow and suddenly looked at Jodye directly, "You even know about riot goo? Haha, how unexpected! Well the answer, my young friend, is no. You could drink this stuff every day, and all that would happen is that the drink itself will affect you less. Anyway, once you break through to the Mage rank, your body will transform once. Unless you've experienced this, then it is fine."

"You sure know a lot about the Mage rank, mister," Jodye Trill said with a smile as he took a sip. As the cooling liquid went down his throat, it turned into a fiery stream of energy by the time it reached his stomach, instantly circulating through his spiritual meridians. Jodye circulated the t.i.tanic rage law, and the chaotic thunder annihilation started flowing magically on its own. Jodye's body was immediately refining the energy, and prompting Jodye to continue gulping down the mug.

Sigma's face experienced many changes. First, he scoffed. This was because he realized the kid was probing his level by testing his knowledge base. 'Tch. Clever brat.'

Then his expression changed to one of surprise when the boy took a sip and didn't even cough any out. He just looked a little hot, at most. 'Tch. Tough brat.'

Next, Sigma was shocked to see Jodye put the mug back up to his lips and start downing the whole thing like a cold gla.s.s of water!

Sigma was stunned. What was this now?

"AHH," Jodye let out a mouthful of bad air, and raised his hand over the bar, "Hey dimples, bring us two more rounds!"

"…" Sigma was speechless as the bartender brought four more mugs over. This stuff wasn't so cheap, you know? It wasn't too much for him to handle, but who knew this little glutton would be a closet alcoholic? Sigma was merely jealous of this brat's talent at such an age and wanted to play a prank. Talk about not judging a book by the cover! He could even feel the little freaks atmosphere growing stronger by the minute. It was at this moment that Sigma started treating Jodye with more sincerity.

This kid was a prodigy!

"Less of this kiddo, what is it you wanted with this old Sigma?"

"Well, Uncle Sigma it's like this," Jodye Trill downed another mug after speaking. Sigma didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when he heard how the boy addressed him. Who's your d.a.m.n uncle? However, Jodye ignored Sigma's obvious indignant posture and continued, "I practice a very complex body transformation art from my family. However, I'm stuck in a bottleneck. I need some medicinal herbs with specific properties, but I don't know of any herbs that have these properties. Since you're a powerful master, I figured you might need an a.s.sistant or something to handle some mundane tasks. As compensation, just teach me all of your herbal knowledge! So? Sweet deal right?"

Sigma stroked his chin after listening to this kid. He felt that the kid apparently wasn't lying at all. Perhaps he knew to lie to an expert of Sigma's level was near suicide. Since this kid was so smart and had such a powerful spiritual sense, he didn't think he could hide his cultivation level from the brat that much. He was sure that Jodye would know the realm even if he didn't see the rank! Furthermore, he honestly did need an a.s.sistant for some of his alchemy and sorcery experiments, but more importantly, he wanted to teach a disciple before he returned home. He just hadn't been able to find any young or pretty masters that fit the bill.

Yet today, one had just walked right into his life, "Listen, kid, I like your moxie. You have great luck, as I am going to give you a wonderful opportunity. How about you agree to worship this old Sigma as your master?"

"Pa.s.s," Jodye Trill waved his hand in front of his face like there was a bad smell. Sigma was p.i.s.sed, but Jodye ignored his anger, "You are not more powerful than my mother. The most I could honor you as is a teacher, but what is there you can teach me? This isn't something to be decided lightly."

Listening to him, Sigma calmed down and nodded. He didn't doubt such a unique kid had great lineage, and the way the boy spoke with eloquence reflected this. Besides, only ghosts would know if an expert was protecting him in secret. While this was unlikely, being that Sigma was a master himself and he would notice right away in most cases, there was always an exception to any rule! For example, what if this was a peak level expert? Sigma wouldn't be careless.

As he was quite a forward thinker, Jodye's previous words resonated with Sigma well as he stated, "You cannot be from around here, I would have certainly heard of a Scholar Realm genius such as yourself if you were known. Bones that seem to be younger than a decade old, energy reserves that outmatch an early-Earth Science realm warrior's, and the light in your eyes is particularly bright. How many primary level concepts have you comprehended, I wonder? You likely don't even know how much of a talented target you are. No, I believe you're some runaway brat from a broken clan of negus. You…"

"Yo, what the f.u.c.k did you just call me old man?! If you want to disrespect me, then we can just fight to the death now!" Sigma was dumbfounded as Jodye yanked his collar down and scolded him, and there was even full slaughter intent leaking from his eyes.

'Why?' Of course, Sigma wasn't the slightest bit afraid for his life. He just wondered what would make this child suddenly want to surrender his life like this? Because he called him a negus? That was preposterous unless…

"Boy, could it be that you have misunderstood the term negus? It is the name of your people," As he spoke he lightly swatted Jodye's hand off his collar. The little guy was quite solid for his realm, it was a bit scary. But only a bit. "Who are your parents to have not taught you this? The Negus are the progenitors of our human clan, the first of the hero race to take on the name 'human,' separating us from our elven brethren. Moreover, when the first Voodoo Priests used forbidden magic that robbed heroes of their destiny, it was the negus who reversed the situation. Since then, they have been referred to as the negus. A term of endearment which means the sovereign rulers by blood."

"Ah!" Jodye Trill was flabbergasted by this new info, and also most of the bones in his hand felt like they had just been shattered due to Sigmas swat. Sigma was left impressed once more when he saw Jodye just switch to his other hand as he downed another mug of riot goo. He didn't wince or complain, or even act like his hand was hurt.

Anyway, what the h.e.l.l was a negus?

Jodye thought for a moment that he had been called a derogatory word from his previous life and reacted reflexively. He felt his rage manifest into energy once more and suddenly felt like he had figured something out. Unfortunately, his throbbing hand made it impossible for him to concentrate the new clearer image of slaughter in his head in the short term. However, he ignored the pain as if it wasn't there and responded, "Neg... us? Elven brethren? Could it be that the elves and these negus are also members of the hero race?"

"Boy, are you truly even human? Are you not really a trickster or some weird demiG.o.d beast with a human fetish? How could you possibly know about the hero race, but not know who they are? Who you yourself are?" Sigma was getting annoyed by this kid, he couldn't figure out if Jodye was smart or stupid.

Sigma reasoned that this boy must have grown up in a great n.o.ble household which let him hear certain terms, but since he was a genius, he was probably very sheltered. Once he thought like this, Sigma felt he understood things better, "The Hero Race can be split between two factions, namely Humans and Elves. The humans all descend from the Battle Saint clan, the progenitors of the Heavenly Saint Essence cultivation system. Whereas the Elves descend from the Immortal Sage clan, the progenitors of Immortal Sage Origin cultivation system. However, legends say that before these two factions existed, there was only one. This faction was controlled by the Negus, and they practiced our original cultivation system! In fact, both humans and elves have negus among their ranks, who are characterized by the powers of destiny, the sun, and the earth that lies in their bones, which is responsible for the beautiful pigment of their skin.

"The negus were the first heroes. The cultivation system they created help the hero race gain a foothold in this vast universe, even though it has been. Their innovative use of the laws of samsara fate changed the entire world. Or so they say, anyway," Sigma finished off another mug of Riot Goo as he finished his sentence. He was already feeling tipsy when he met this brat, but now he was totally on the wave. He babbled on without noticing much of the profound look in Jodye's eyes, "They say you negus clansmen all have special bloodlines that can a.s.similate with nearly any race. The pinnacle of humanity, the reason other races envy us. Apparently, humans and elves only exist because of this trait of the negus. In fact, the royalty of our race doesn't even recognize the humans and the elves unless they prove themselves by trial. Well, this life star doesn't have many races in the first place though…"

"Mister… you're not from Gaea are you?" Jodye Trill asked this question via the telepathic link they had established earlier. The way the man talked hinted at a knowledge base that was beyond this place's level.

"Haha, so what say you boy?" Sigma paused for a moment in shock but swiftly recovered. He decided that no matter what he would leave a legacy behind for this planet through this child. Jodye was simply too unique, Simga doubted that he would ever find another hero youth like this one. They were fated to meet! "Are you willing to be my disciple?"
