After hearing Six Paths speak, Han Sen thought it sounded like he was confident in his chances of reaching first place . But the placement test had actually put Six Paths in fifth place .
Crystal Core had been in fourth place, and when Six Paths conducted his test, he could not pass it .
"Where are you from?" Han Sen asked . The spirit sounded very confident and full of himself, so he must have had some modicum of proper talent .
"I am an emperor that was created . I come from pure chaos; I have no parents nor background . There is no need to concern yourself with this . Just fight," Six Paths said with a cold tone of voice .
Han Sen smirked . "Do you think I was born yesterday? Born-emperors start with emperor geno cores; you sound like the son of an emperor . "
Six Paths looked at Han Sen coldly and told him, "When I came from chaos, I had an emperor geno core . But I didn't like it, and so I killed myself to receive another . Now, I am just like you; starting over with a bronze geno core . "
"Really?" Han Sen's eyes opened wide . He didn't expect a spirit would ever give up an emperor geno core in exchange for a bronze geno core .

"What would I gain by lying?" Six Paths glum seriousness suggested this really wasn't a joke .
"Why didn't you like your previous geno core? Your body has the same element, and the second core can't be all that different from the first . What's the point?" Han Sen asked .
"It is pointless to earn something grand when no effort of your own has gone into its retrieval . I'd prefer to earn things through my own hard work; the satisfaction gained that way is far more meaningful . " Six Paths peered down at Han Sen for a moment, before continuing . "I destroyed my geno core, but my emperor body is still here . I will scale down my power to combat you . "
"Okay, let's see what you got . " Han Sen used his hands like blades and began slashing towards him .
Han Sen was employing Ghost Slash, which involved the powers of time and space .
Six Paths pulled out his sword and struck Han Sen's hand . The collision of powers made an explosion . Six Paths was not moved, but Han Sen staggered backwards through the air a few meters .
"I know your power . I will scale down . Fight me!" Six Paths said .

Han Sen frowned and thought to himself, "He really does have the body of an emperor . Ordinary super creatures could never possess such power!"
Han Sen looked dim, but he wasn't going to turn his nose up at the prospect of making battle with an emperor .
Han Sen did not use his Real Blood geno core, and instead, he used his phoenix techniques to fly towards Six Paths . Six Paths scaled his level to match Han Sen, and his speed and power were brought down to a similar, more manageable amount .
"Use your geno core!" Six Paths blocked Han Sen's attacks three times in a row with just his hands, and his opponent still refused to use his geno core .
"Feel free to use yours . I'll use mine only when I need to," Han Sen said .
"Okay, then . So be it . " Six Paths pulled out an ancient sword .

Han Sen felt a chill run down his spine when he saw it . It was wholly black, with no sheen or gloss . It didn't reflect a single thing, and it looked almost sullen . The appearance of the sword made something clench in Han Sen's gut, as if he was in danger .
As Han Sen watched him hold the sword, he believed the spirit really was named Six Paths . His sword, the Six Paths Sword, became one with its wielder .
"My Six Paths Sword has six different powers; I will make use of the first . It is called Heart Sword . " Six Paths pulled out his sword .
Han Sen only knew there was an animal path, but he had never heard of the heart one .
When Six Paths attacked, Han Sen felt a great power overwhelm him . He felt as if he wanted to get stabbed .
It was like watching a horror movie . They could cause much distress due to how terrifying they were, but people insisted on watching them to ride out the thrills, anyway . Han Sen felt like a moth, drawn to a flickering flame that could incinerate him .
Han Sen used his phoenix techniques to dodge, but he couldn't shake the desire of wanting to get stabbed .
Fortunately, Han Sen had an incredibly strong will . Most would find themselves thrown onto the sword by now already .
Six Paths attacked swiftly, and over time, the attraction grew stronger . Han Sen was having to fight physically and mentally, the latter being the temptation .
From Han Sen's point of view, Six Paths was an alluring person . He felt as if he wanted to die by the spirit's hands .
Although Six Paths scaled his power down, Han Sen realized he was at a genuine, clear-cut disadvantage . This had never happened to him before .
"This Heart Sword is evil!" Han Sen did his best to fight back against that suicidal attraction .
Six Paths was able to see into Han Sen's mind and read what was going on, and he said, "The path of the heart is one of faith . It makes people believe what you say, regardless of whether you're right or wrong . Your faith becomes stronger than everything else, and that is why it is called Heart Sword . "
Han Sen thought the man was extremely attractive, and he felt small and unworthy in his presence .
Six Paths had gone on to tell Han Sen his secrets, but Han Sen was so selfish he hid everything . It made Han Sen feel like he was a much worse person, and Six Paths was someone he could greatly admire . His sword was extremely attractive .
"This skill is so powerful! I cannot believe I underestimated a spirit in this sanctuary . " Han Sen thought he was invincible against those of the same level as him . Now, Six Paths had revealed to him that spirits of such might, at that level, still existed .
