Eternal Thief

Chapter 1006 Divine Eyes Hunter

The moment Ace entered the foggy pathway, he felt a force trying to affect his mind, but it was too weak. Still, Ace didn’t move forward since if he passed this fog too fast, then it would be far stranger than passing the promotion exam.

Ace just stood there for about half an hour before he finally moved forward, and after walking for a few minutes, the fog in front of him finally disappeared.

The whole scene changed, and dense Qi washed over him, but what was more startling was the landscape; there were beautiful waterfalls beside paved roads made with exotic stones. Many auspicious beasts were flying around, and rainbow cranes were dancing; it was like a paradise, completely different from the royal school.

“Leroy, I presumed? Not bad.” An imposing voice suddenly rang, drawing Ace’s attention.

The next moment, a tall, handsome man with a slender build and clad in black gold robes appeared. He had long violet hair draped on his shoulder, and his violet eyes were sharp like a hawk and somewhat special. Despite not giving off any aura, his manners were imposing and refined like a King.

But Ace could still gauge this man’s well-hidden prowess; he was an intermediate-stage Law Comprehension Cultivator, and he knew only a few people in the imperial school should have this sort of cultivation, the Imperial Teachers!

This handsome man was really one of the ten Imperial Teachers, the Divine Eye Hunter, Connor, also known as the Death Striker. Connor was famous for his peerless archery and his ability never to miss a target. Furthermore, the title Death Striker came from his killing record of one kill per arrow, and he can shoot down targets from hundreds of miles away. That’s why he was feared and revered by many.

Many students of the Sky Heart Imperial School wanted to be his students, so they chose the archery department to draw his attention. But to this day, no one is ever able to earn his acknowledgment. His demands were simply too high. 𝘦𝑎.𝒸ℴ

Even Leroy mastered archery to get noticed by Connor, but only after enrolling into the Sky Heart Imperial School did he truly understand just how difficult it was to enter the imperial school. He had no chance after this year, so he had long given up on this impossible dream.

However, now Ace took his place, and Leroy was finally noticed by the Death Striker, but in Ace’s eyes, this was nothing worth celebrating at all; it was a drag even; it was truly lamentable.

“Leroy greets elders.” Ace bowed in greeting, pretending not to know the true power of this guy. He was already inside the Imperial School, and he could sense Eva and Cyrus even more clearly.

Once he gets rid of this guy, he can use his true abilities to search for them.

Connor’s violet eyes suddenly shone in violet light, and his puppets changed into strange runes; at this moment, Ace’s heart suddenly skipped a beat because he suddenly felt danger.

Divine Eyes Hunter was the most mysterious and ancient hunter bloodline present in the Sky Heart Plains. This bloodline didn’t have any element abilities; instead, the bloodline had an optical ability called the Divine Eyes that could see through all lies and illusions.

But this ability was so strong and mysterious that not all the hunters of Divine Eyes Hunter Bloodline could awaken it despite having the bloodline. In the past thousand years, only Connor was able to awaken it. But even he only managed to awaken it up to 40%.

Yet, even with only 40% of its mysterious prowess, he can see through all the illusions and lies. This ability was also the main reason his archery was peerless, and no one could hide or run from him.

At this moment, Connor was using his Divine Eyes to gauge Leroy since he received the news about a promising archery prodigy appearing in the royal school, and he just passed the promotion exam.

However, it wasn’t enough to draw his full interest. But after he saw the video of Leroy’s exam, his interest was finally piqued. So, he quickly hurried over and waited for Leroy to pass the fog, and he wanted to see how much time he would take.

Almost every student in the imperial school could pass this fog in about an hour, and the latest record was broken by the new prodigy of the Sky Heart Plains and Principal Disciple, Evie; she cleared it within ten seconds, which left everyone speechless for a long time.

Even the previous prodigy, Riana, took a full ten minutes to pass it, which showed just how large the gap was between the two.

But Leroy now cleared in half an hour which made him on the same level as the imperial children of the Skylar Clan, so Conner was a little excited about him now and hopeful.

Ace was alarmed, and he was ready to take action; he never thought there was someone who could see through his disguise, and he could vaguely sense a new type of power originating from Connor’s eyes.

But thankfully, Connor hadn’t awakened his eyes to 100%, so he only made Ace uneasy for a moment. If his divine eyes were fully active, he could’ve seen thought any illusion in Mortal Sky Heaven, even Heaven won’t allow such a thing.

However, not being able to see through Ace’s disguise didn’t mean he couldn’t see some vague clues, but he never thought that someone would be daring enough or have the power to masquerade as the school’s student and boldly pass the promotion exam.

So, he thought with a hint of ecstasy, ‘How peculiar, there is something extraordinary about this boy that even I can’t see through. If he can pass my test, I will finally have a successor to show off in front of those old sods!’

“Come with me. If you pass my test, I’ll take you as my direct student and allocate the best cultivation location and resources present in the imperial school. But if you failed, pretend we never meet.” Conner stated with a mysterious smile that he had no intention of introducing himself, especially if Leroy couldn’t overcome his test.

Ace was startled, and he didn’t even have a chance to react before he felt a powerful force enveloping him and dragging him away. If he wanted, he could’ve easily broken free, but he knew if he did that, he would be exposed.

So, he could only helplessly go along with this forceful fellow and see what kind of test he had for him. Furthermore, since he knew this guy was an imperial teacher, becoming his student was not a bad thing.

In fact, he could roam free in the Imperial School if he had an Imperial Teacher’s disciple status. He was also interested in that strange ability Connor used that almost exposed him!
