Monarch of Darkness

Evan named his newfound technique as Soul detection technique. He was very much interested in this newfound ability. It could accurately locate a soul no matter how tiny or how weak the soul was. With this newfound technique, he could accurately target the soul of his enemies.

Even if a enemy managed to evade his physical attacks, he could still target the enemy with his soul attack.

He was already successful in his first soul attack. So, Evan tried to perfect his soul attack further. Previously, his attack destroyed the souls of some tiny ants,but Evan didn't want such wide impact. He was aiming for precision and accuracy in his attacks. Previously he molded his soul shard into a small spear.But now he was planning to create something more small which could directly pierce through soul of a single ant.

Evan took a quick nap to recover his soul. He slept soundly for four hours and after it he started his practice again. This time he tried to divide a soul mass which was smaller compared to the previous soul part.Smaller the soul part meant lesser the pressure to his mind and body. Evan knew it well.So,he decided to strive for more efficient use of his soul.

Actually if Evan was in nascent soul formation realm, he could use his soul power as much as he wanted. But it was not possible to use his soul freely without reaching nascent soul formation realm.

Evan was a exception, noone other than him could use their soul without reaching nascent soul realm. Soul conciousness was exclusive for those strong cultivators who were atleast in Nascent soul formation realm.

Evan focused his mind on his soul. After attaining the previous enlightenment state, he became more familiar with his soul. He could feel his soul was more powerful than the middle-aged guards who were still gossiping outside the small room. Those guards were at profound transformation realm. It meant his soul was more powerful than a profound transformation realm expert despite his original cultivation realm of meridian opening realm. Evan was gradually discovering how wonderful his royal devil soul was.

Evan focused his mind and tried to separate a smaller soul mass compared to his previous time. A smaller soul part divided from his soul and Evan felt a piercing pain for some moment. He immediately covered this smaller soul part with his soul conciousness and tried to mold it into the shape of a spear. He tried hard and the tiny soul part started to change its appearance. But before he could arrange the tiny soul part into the shape of a tiny spear, it got blasted and dispersed.

Concentration of Evan broke and he opened his eyes. He didn't stop despite his failure. He didn't take rest either. Such negligible amount of lose to his soul was not much of a concern

to him. 

He again focused his mind and pulled out another tiny part of his soul. He tried to forge it into the shape of a spear again but the tiny soul part got blasted again and dispersed. Evan didn't lose his confidence and repeated the process again and again. It was only in his fourth attempt that he managed to form a tiny soul spear.

By now he was feeling exhausted. Although lose to his soul was negligible but it still exhausted his body and mind. He quickly fell asleep again. This time it only took him three hour to recover his body and mind.

Evan started his practice again with full spirit. He tried to condense more shorter soul spears which could penetrate even the tiny soul of a ant. If he could acheive this, his proficiency in soul attack would increase.Evan started his practice again. He failed again and again in decreasing the size of soul spear.But he didn't felt any discouragement. After taking rest and revitalizing his body and mind he continued his practice.

In the south corner of Imperial academy, stood a solitary building. The building was small in size. It was a one storied building with a unadorned appearance. Environment was filled with lush green vegetation and the atmosphere surrounding the building felt serene. There was a small courtyard infront of the plain building. Currently two wooden chairs were placed on the middle of the the courtyard. Two person were sitting on the chair and talking leisurely.

"Lewis, sorry for the trouble. You have to pretend a lot to deceive everyone in academy", the person who was sitting on the left side chair spoke.

"Commander, you are my life saviour. This much work amounts nothing to me", the person who was sitting on the right side chair spoke humbly. If Evan would be here, he could have immediately recognized the person sitting on the right side chair. He was Lewis, the vice principal of Imperial academy. Currently he was speaking humbly to the person sitting infront of him.

"How is the little brat of Thousand swords kingdom?", the person sitting on the left side chair questioned again.

"He had stirred trouble the day he came to the Imperial academy. So, I have to detain him for breaking the law. I have arranged a place for his detainment nearby my house", Lewis replied.

Then the person to whom Lewis adressed as commander asked him some other details about Evan.Then after telling him to ensure the safety of Evan, he disappeared from the sight of Lewis.

After disappearing from the sight of Lewis that person reappeared in the sky above the building where Lewis stayed. He scanned the surrounding and flew toward the small room where Evan was cultivating. He scanned the small room with his spiritual sense. A slight frown appeared on his calm face. "Strange, I can not see the cultivation of this little brat. Moreover, why a little brat who is only a eight year old child, meditating so deeply?", he murmured.

"Nathan,where have you disappeared? Little one of yours is already eight year old", that mysterious person sighed and disappeared again within the blink of an eye.
