24 Unwilling Slumber (1/2)

Hearing Frenzy's words, Hua Yan's mind began to reel.

What he was hearing was just too absurd to be true!

He had punched some trees since a young age, so now he was poisoned by some type of a conscious poison?! He was expected to believe this? As if!

Hua Yan was now certain that he had gone mad!

”You have indeed turned insane,” Frenzy's voice echoed from within, ”And I am directly responsible for that. It is the fate of all my carriers; you are no different. In consolation, however, I can tell you that this type of madness is not the madness of the mind, but the madness of the heart. You are a bloodthirsty murderer, but you are no idiot.”

Hua Yan still did not understand this explanation. He was mad, but not really mad? Not mad in the mind but mad in the heart? What was the meaning of this?

”In normal situations, you will be no different from the average man. Your thought process is sane,” Frenzy explained, ”But when things get spicy, all rationality is sent into a frenzy, and all that's left is the mad craving for blood. Such is the way that Ashura has determined for it to be. Beings like you or I cannot go against this will.”

Hua Yan was beginning to reach enlightenment on this matter, but the whole spiel on Ashura kept confusing him. Who was Ashura? Why had Hua Yan not heard any mentions of him if he was supposedly residing in this forest? Just how powerful did he have to be to have a conscious poison under his command? Was such a level of power even human anymore?

”Silly mortal, what you know of the world is just too little for me to give you any kind of answer that will give you any type of satisfaction. You are but a frog at the bottom of the well in this backwater place. If you follow the road that Ashura has carved out for you, then you will also see what lies beyond the heavens one day. Until then, just stop thinking and do as I say. It's what will work best for you.”

Hua Yan wanted to ask more questions, but his brain began to buzz when he thought too much about Ashura or anything related to the matter. It looked like Frenzy was blocking off certain areas of his mind with brute force, directing his train of thought in a certain direction!

What a dangerous poison!

Hua Yan could not even combat this because he had no deep access to his mind like cultivators would have. He was just an ordinary mortal that was a little talented when given a blade. He was by no means someone that could wage a mental war in his own mind.
