204 My Berserker Mark, My Soul (1/2)
Time passed by without Su Ming’s knowledge. He sat within the cave, having completely forgotten everything. He had even forgotten his goal of entering Freezing Sky Clan. The only thin in his mind was chasing his memories with an empty mind.
That nostalgia spread out from his eyes and turned into a smile on his lips, but at the same time, there was also grief.
He could not differentiate what sort of emotions were within him at that moment. Su Ming’s right hand drew on his body and brought out the outlines of Dark Mountain: all the plants in his memories, the familiar houses, and the familiar fences.
”My Berserker Mark, My Soul…” Su Ming mumbled.
His right index finger dripped with viscous blood as he drew on his body.
Dark Mountain, the tribe, the forest, the houses… and the bonfires that seemed to be burning. All of these were beautiful moments. However, the tribe was void of people, there was only desolation within.
Days passed by, and the blood picture of Dark Mountain and the tribe gradually grew complete. The red fog and clouds tumbled outside and within Su Ming’s body as they continued to surge into the picture.
Eventually, all the power of Awakening in his body completely turned into red fog. Once it fused with his Berserker Mark, the Mark that covered half of his body seemed to have gained a soul and looked alive.
The mountain, plants, houses, and everything on it was clearly shown on Su Ming’s body, forming a gigantic picture that turned into his Mark!
A Mark of his home!
At that moment, Su Ming did not know that this sort of complicated Mark was incredibly rare in the Berserker Tribe. It did not belong to any of the three sky, earth, and world categories of the nine alterations. If Tian Xie Zi had not left, he would see it, and he would definitely be shocked.
Due to the complexity of Su Ming’s Mark, it would either be categorized as a mixed Mark and the Berserker would find it hard to increase his power, ending as a joke, or he would increase his power, and once he did so, the power that would explode from him would be shocking.
After a few days, Su Ming’s right index finger stopped for a moment. His eyes opened once again. He lifted his right hand slowly, and the power of Awakening surged forth inside him with an explosive force. As it spread through his entire body, the true presence of Awakening burst forth from within him.
That presence far surpassed all those within the Blood Solidification Realm. It even created an intimidating presence that could overpower all those in the Blood Solidification Realm. Su Ming’s hair moved without wind. While he sat, the red fog on his entire body gradually disappeared. The only thing left was the Mark of Home that filled his entire upper body!
On his face, the Mark showed Dark Mountain, while on his chest was his tribe. The tribe spread out on his chest, and around it were the plants. That Mark was incredibly clear.
”Awakened Berserkers do not train blood veins. They only train their Marks… The Mark is their strength, and through the Berserker Blood in their veins, they can display remarkable abilities…” Su Ming mumbled.
Everything he knew about Awakening was told to him by his elder over the years since he was young.
”There are four stages in the Awakening Realm… It’s divided into the early stage, middle stage, later stage, and the great completion of the Awakening Realm. Breaking into the Bone Sacrifice Realm through great completion is much harder than reaching the Awakening Realm through the Blood Solidification Realm.”
Su Ming lifted his right hand and touched the Mark on his face.
”There are many people in the Awakening Realm who can’t enter the Bone Sacrifice Realm their whole lives. They can’t refine their Berserker Bone and can only fade away in time, leaving the world with regret.”
Su Ming lifted his head and his eyes sparkled brightly. His Berserker Mark shone with a red flare as if it was moving on his body. A power that was clearly only at the early stage of Awakening but could already stun those in the middle and later stages of Awakening by bursting forth from Su Ming’s body.
The cave trembled. Even the mountains around the cave shook. They let out muffled rumbling sounds and a large amount of dust scattered into the air, turning into a ring that rolled outwards from the mountain.
‘Awakening with 999 blood veins… Right now, the power I have…’ Su Ming lifted his right hand and clenched it slowly before him. ‘I wonder what is the difference between me and those in the later stage of the Awakening Realm..?’
He took a deep breath. The moment he unclenched his right hand, a bell chime immediately reverberated around him, and an ancient bell about the size of his palm appeared in his hand!
This bell was Han Mountain Bell!
As he looked at this bell, a cold smirk appeared on Su Ming’s lips.
‘Si Ma Xin, with my current level power and this treasure, I wonder just what is the difference between us…’
Su Ming swung his arm, and once he put away the ancient bell, his body swayed forward, and the door to the cave instantly shattered. As it turned into a countless amount of debris that tumbled backward, Su Ming walked out calmly.
Behind him, the small virescent sword let out a joyful sword whistle. It surrounded Su Ming and eventually crawled into the center of his brows with a flash, hiding in the form of a sword mark.
He Feng was trembling. He followed behind Su Ming like a servant with extreme anxiety. He had witnessed every moment of Su Ming’s Awakening. As of now, his reverence towards Su Ming had reached its peak.
Su Ming stepped on air and walked towards the sky from the ground. He stood there, but did not circulate his power intentionally. His power seemed to have lost its weight and he seemed to have become one with the sky. He could rise into the sky at will.
The wind in midair was very strong. It could be heard moaning as it blew past. It moved Su Ming’s hair and made the green robes he wore once again dance in the air.
His destination was Han Mountain City located in the distance.
Su Ming’s expression was calm as he lifted his right hand to touch the center of his brows.
”Some parts are still missing in my Berserker Mark…” he mumbled. The moment he finished drawing his Mark based on his home, he understood that his Mark was incomplete.
”I can repair my Mark during Awakening, when my Mark is complete, then I will have attained great completion in the Awakening Realm!”
Su Ming lowered his right hand from the center of his brows. The Dark Mountain Mark on his face gradually disappeared along with the Mark of Home under his clothes.
