Mystic Eyes: My Eyes Steal the Laws of Cultivation

Chapter 273: Five Against One

Kyrian remained in his room for sixty consecutive days.

During that time, almost no one saw him.

The door remained closed. The room was constantly filled with the aroma of spiritual herbs slowly burning inside the cauldron.

He had truly completely immersed himself in the world of alchemy. Day after day. Night after night.

The gray flame beneath the cauldron almost never went out. Herbs were purified. Essences were refined. Pills emerged.

Kyrian practically did not take breaks.

Sometimes, he stopped for a few hours, just to recover his mental energy, drink some water, or sleep briefly. But those intervals were short.

Soon he returned to the cauldron. At some point... it had stopped being just practice.

Kyrian had truly become addicted to refining pills. There was something deeply fascinating about the process.

Each herb possessed a different essence. Each mixture reacted in a unique way.

Controlling the flame, guiding the spiritual essences, and watching a pill slowly be born inside the cauldron was... satisfying.

Meanwhile, outside... Life in the Blood Court continued normally.

Bai Zhu, Kai, Li Fen, Yan Ling, and Mei Li did not remain idle during those two months.

Dong Zhen had sent the five on various missions. Combat missions. Escort missions. Exploration missions.

In addition, they also went through constant training under the supervision of Dong Zhen himself.

The leader of the Blood Court was an experienced cultivator. His gaze was sharp. He knew exactly how to push each of them to evolve.

During these two months, the five went through real battles and intense training.

But Dong Zhen never called Kyrian to participate. He knew that it would be useless. Kyrian possessed an Innate Talent. His cultivation path was different.

Forcing him to follow the same pace as the other disciples would not make sense.

So he simply let the young man follow his own path. But on that day...

Something changed.

On the morning of the sixty-first day, Kyrian woke up earlier than usual.

He had slept only a few hours after finishing a refinement. As soon as he opened his eyes...

A soft knock echoed on the door. Kyrian frowned slightly. It was rare for someone to come there at that hour.

He stood up calmly and walked to the door. When he opened it... He was surprised.

On the other side was Mei Li.

She was wearing her usual red robe, and a slight smile was on her face.

Kyrian blinked slightly. It had been quite a long time since he had seen any of them.

The smell of spiritual herbs escaped from the room behind him. Mei Li naturally noticed.

She let out a small laugh.

"Good morning, Kyrian."

Kyrian nodded slightly.

"Hm. Good morning."

He observed her for a moment before asking.

"Do you need something?"

Mei Li crossed her arms casually.

"Dong Zhen wants to see you."

Kyrian raised an eyebrow.

"Now?"

"In the Blood Core courtyard."

She then turned and began to walk down the corridor. Kyrian stood still for a moment.

He really had no idea about the reason for that summons. But still... He followed.

A few minutes later... Kyrian arrived at the Blood Core courtyard. As soon as he entered... He saw everyone gathered there.

Dong Zhen was standing in front of the group. In front of him were Bai Zhu, Yan Ling, Li Fen, and Kai. Mei Li walked to join them.

Kyrian approached calmly. But before even reaching them... His gaze changed slightly. He had noticed something.

His eyes slowly passed over Bai Zhu and the others. A slight surprise appeared in his eyes.

Bai Zhu had advanced. His spiritual aura was completely different. Denser. More stable. More powerful.

He had officially entered the Core Formation Realm.

Kyrian then looked at the others.

Yan Ling. Li Fen. Kai. All of them had also advanced.

All were now in the Core Formation Realm. The only one who had not yet broken through was Mei Li.

But her aura was also extremely close to advancing. She would probably break through soon.

Dong Zhen immediately noticed Kyrian’s gaze. A slight smile appeared on his face.

"You already noticed."

Kyrian nodded slightly. Then he finally approached and stood beside the group.

Dong Zhen crossed his arms.

"Kyrian."

"Yes."

"I called you here for a reason."

He paused briefly.

"I need to leave the Blood Court for a few days."

His gaze passed over the five disciples.

"During that time... I want you to train them."

Bai Zhu and the others looked at Kyrian.

Dong Zhen continued calmly.

"Your combat experience is absurd for someone your age."

"It would be useful for them."

He then asked directly.

"Are you okay with that?"

Kyrian remained silent for a few seconds.

The truth was that he had been so focused on alchemy that he had practically forgotten about the others.

Besides... It had also been quite some time since he had fought seriously.

Kyrian finally nodded.

"Alright."

He looked at the five.

"I can train them for a few days."

Then he added calmly.

"But I will still focus more on alchemy."

Dong Zhen laughed lightly.

"Naturally."

He had already expected that answer. After exchanging a few more words, Dong Zhen simply left the courtyard.

Now only Kyrian and the other five remained. The silence lasted for a few seconds.

Then, Bai Zhu walked up to Kyrian and gave a light pat on his shoulder.

"Man... it’s been a while since we’ve seen you." He laughed.

"You really fell in love with alchemy."

Kyrian did not deny it.

"Maybe."

He then looked at the five. His gray eyes became a bit more serious.

"And you all got stronger."

He turned and walked to the other side of the courtyard. Then stopped. He slowly turned back to them.

"I don’t want to waste much time."

Kyrian crossed his arms.

"Let’s begin."

The five immediately became more attentive.

Kyrian continued.

"The five of you against me."

The five looked at each other.

Kyrian raised a hand.

"No weapons."

"No battle techniques."

His cold eyes passed over each of them.

Even being one against five... None of them thought it was unfair. Everyone there knew very well who Kyrian was in battle.

He was... absurd. It was as if he never made mistakes. Even when facing stronger opponents, he always seemed to have absolute control of the fight.

They trusted their own strength. But still... They knew that Kyrian was different.

A true monster in combat.

Bai Zhu smiled slowly.

"Alright."

Kai cracked his neck. Yan Ling and Li Fen took their stances. Mei Li crossed her arms for a moment before sighing.

"This is going to hurt..."

Kyrian simply raised one hand.

"Come."

And so... The one-against-five fight began in the Blood Core courtyard.
