2024-10-29 19:42:56After Cho Byeol learned how to capture the pond beasts, they started capturing even more pond beasts. This went on for two to three hours. Every pond had a limited number of beasts. And every fish type beast was different from other fish type beasts.
"Tell me, how many years has it been since you've been eating them?" Cho Byeol thought of something and asked Yang Zhai.
"Since the time I arrived at this place," Yang Zhai answered.
"So, don't you get bored?" Cho Byeol was surprised when she heard what Yang Zhai said. How could someone eat the same thing for so long?
"I'm already used to it, and didn't I tell you that every fish tastes different from the other. Some have the taste of fruits, some have the taste of meat while some have different kinds of tastes. That's why I don't mind eating them," Yang Zhai replied.
Cho Byeol nodded when she heard this, but she still wasn't convinced, even if they had different tastes, they were still the same thing. She was just about to say something when she heard Yang Zhai,
"Wait, I hear some voices. From their voices I think they're wolves," Yang Zhai said to Cho Byeol with a serious expression.
"How many?" Cho Byeol asked with a nervous expression. She thought that their luck was really terrible recently, last night they encountered Rank 4 Green Wind wolves and now there were even more.
"Two, wait I think there are more than two. There should be…." Yang Zhai suddenly stopped talking and his expression turned grave. He was in a daze. He felt like he was dreaming.
"What happened? tell me quickly," when Cho Byeol saw Yang Zhai's expression she knew that something was wrong and asked,
"Quickly, jump into the pond and hide" Yang Zhai was jolted awake when he heard Cho Byeol, and hurriedly said.
She was confused about what was happening.
Yang Zhai saw Cho Byeol's confused expression, he grabbed Cho Byeol from her hand and jumped into the pond together.
After one minute or so, Cho Byeol heard some noises, they were the footsteps of the beasts. After hearing them, her expression turned to fear, now she knew why Yang Zhai had asked her to jump into the pond. She didn't dare to move from the fear of attracting the attention of the wolves.
They kept hearing footsteps for some time. After making sure that the noises disappeared in the horizon, they jumped out of the pond.
"What happened? Why were there so many Green wind wolves?" Yang Zhai muttered to himself while contemplating something.
"What happened just now, didn't you say that this place was safe?" Cho Byeol asked Yang Zhai, there was still some fear on her face. If Yang Zhai hadn't discovered the wolves, they would most likely be dead by now.
"I don't know what happened to them, even I'm confused right now. This place is usually safe because of the scent of the trees and ponds. This scent is unbearable to the high-level beasts. And in this area of the forest, there weren't supposed to be any Rank four or Rank three beasts, let alone a whole pack," Yang Zhai said while thinking. How could there be an entire pack of wolves here?
"What should we do now then?" Cho Byeol asked nervously.
"Now I know why the two Green wind wolves appeared last night, even though that place is safe. I think there's something wrong here, we shouldn't stay here anymore. It is dangerous to stay here anymore." Yang Zhai said to Cho Byeol seriously.
"Yeah, I think so as well," Cho Byeol said while looking in the direction where Green wind wolves disappeared.
After deciding what to do now, they didn't dare to stay here any longer, and they had also collected and stored enough food. They went back to the cave. While returning, they saw many wolves on the way. They hid every time they saw them, even if it was just one Rank 3 Green wind wolf. This was because the commotion of the fight would attract the attention of the other wolves and if they got injured, it would be even worse for them. That's why they avoided the fighting and hid every time they saw even a single wolf. Because of this, it took them longer than usual to reach the cave.
When they reached the cave it was already nighttime. The moon was hanging high in the sky, the stars had already appeared, they were shining brightly in the sky. The surroundings of the cave were very peaceful and covered with trees, there were the sounds of the cicadas. When they arrived at the cave, they didn't stop to appreciate the peaceful night and directly entered the cave. After entering through several entrances, they arrived at their destination.
Bae Ah was cultivating when they arrived, she opened her eyes and looked at the two of them and felt that something was wrong, so she asked them,
"What happened? What took you two so long, I was starting to get worried"
"You can ask Cho Byeol," after saying this, Yang Zhai went to his bed to meditate.
"Let me rest for a while before I tell you what happened" Cho Byeol was exhausted after what happened today, all of this was very tiring to her.
Bae Ah nodded and didn't say anything while looking worriedly at Cho Byeol.
When Yang Zhai saw Cho Byeol he frowned and felt that something was wrong. How could she get so tired so easily, and this wasn't the first time, this happened last night as well, even though she hadn't participated in the fight she was still very tired. He knew that what happened today was tiring, but she was still a Rank three cultivator. This shouldn't happen to a Rank 3 peak stage cultivator. And they hadn't even traveled that much today, that she would get so tired.
Yang Zhai didn't think too much about it and continued cultivating. If Cho Byeol and Bae Ah wanted him to know anything about it, they would have told him by themselves, so he didn't ask. Why should he bother, if they even themselves didn't mention anything? And he knew that there must be a reason that they didn't mention why Cho Byeol gets tired so easily.
After resting for a while, Cho Byeol started to tell Bae Ah about what happened. When Bae Ah heard this her forehead was covered with sweat and a look of worry appeared on her face, and she asked Cho Byeol
"Nothing happened to you guys, right?" While asking, she started to examine Cho Byeol's body from every angle she could.
"Huh.., I'm fine but.. can you please keep a distance," Cho Byeol was embarrassed and said to Bae Ah. She thought that Bae Ah was getting too worried about her.
"Why are you so embarrassed, it's not like I'm removing your clothes or something," Bae Ah said, making Cho Byeol even more embarrassed.
After saying that, Bae Ah walked towards Yang Zhai.
"Thank you, if it wasn't for you, I don't know what would have happened to her and if she would still be alive," Bae Ah bowed and said to Yang Zhai.
"No, it's nothing, I didn't do anything," Yang Zhai said casually.
After that Bae Ah walked back to Cho Byeol's side and started talking to her.
When Yang Zhai saw the two of them talking to each other, he didn't disturb them and started thinking about today's incident. He was anxious. He was worried that something big was going to happen, so he couldn't go out unless it was necessary.
After this day, life in the cave continued as usual. But for some reason, Cho Byeol began to remain sick, and she didn't talk as much as before. Even Yang Zhai started to get bored because the environment in the cave began to get more silent and the cave wasn't as lively as before. This was because he had been living alone for so many years and when he encountered Cho Byeol and Bae Ah, he no longer had to live alone anymore and didn't feel loneliness. But when Cho Byeol got sick, silence returned to the cave.
Bae Ah liked to remain silent and Yang Zhai also got used to not speaking much because of his cautiousness. But Cho Byeol was a lively and carefree girl. So, she always kept on asking Yang Zhai more and more questions, and he also got used to this. But this wasn't the case anymore because of Cho Byeol's sickness.
Just like that, one month passed in the blink of an eye.
"How is she now?" Yang Zhai asked Bae Ah, who was sitting near Cho Byeol.
Cho Byeol was lying down on Yang Zhai's bed. She was sick for the past month. Her condition wasn't getting any better, instead, it had only gotten worse. From time to time, she would start breathing heavily, as if she was having a hard time breathing.
"Not good, if this keeps up, it'll only get worse," Bae Ah said worriedly. There was sadness on her face because she couldn't see Cho Byeol in this condition. From whenever she was young, she hadn't seen Cho Byeol in this condition except for one time.
"Can I ask you about something?" Yang Zhai glanced at Cho Byeol and asked.
"What is it?" Bae Ah said.
"What sickness does she have?" Yang Zhai looked at Bae Ah and said,
Bae Ah turned her face to look at Yang Zhai, who was standing on her right side.
"Sigh, she doesn't have any sickness, she is perfectly fine," Bae Ah heaved a sigh and said,
"Are you sure," Yang Zhai didn't believe Bae Ah and frowned.
"I'm not lying, she is perfectly fine. It's just that her body is fragile. From birth, she was like this, her body can't quickly adapt to the environment and she gets easily tired as well. And whenever she gets injured, it takes double the time for her to heal than a normal person." Bae Ah said while grabbing Cho Byeol's hand, "Not just her body, but even her emotions are also the same. She can forgive anyone, as long as they ask for forgiveness. Do you remember how she kept on bothering you, even though you captured her? Because you didn't harm us, she wanted to make friends with you. And also because she thought that you were lonely," Bae Ah's voice kept on lowering as she continued and stopped in the middle of speaking.
"No wonder," after hearing Bae Ah, Yang Zhai understood why Cho Byeol got tired too easily on the night they were attacked by two Green wind wolves, even though she hadn't participated in the fight. It was because of the pressure she was facing from the Green wind wolves. He knew that something was wrong with Cho Byeol's condition.
"And when was the other time this happened to her?" Yang Zhai asked Bae Ah.
But when Bae Ah heard this, her body trembled and a tear fell from her right eye.
When Yang Zhai saw Bae Ah's expression, he knew that maybe he shouldn't have asked it.

It was broad daylight, the sun was high in the sky. There was grassland and a wooden house could be seen in the grassland. And a palace could be seen on the horizon. This grassland and the palace were in the territory of the Zhang Clan. "Mom, do you know what happened today," a young girl, who was covered in dust, around 8 to 9 years old was running towards a woman. The woman was sitting outside a wooden house, the surroundings were plain grasslands. She had straight long black hair extending to her waist, black eyes, she had a slim waist, and was wearing the white Shenyi with beautiful lapis blue color flower patterns on it, looking extremely beautiful. Her appearance was similar to Cho Byeol. When she saw the girl running towards her, she smiled. She stood up and picked the girl up. "What happened?" The woman looked lovingly at the girl and asked.

Eun Kyung asked, she felt that something was wrong with the other two."These two are the elders of our sect, because of the recent turmoil, I had to ask them to come with me. And after our meeting, I have a mission I need to complete. I brought them with me, So we could directly leave for the mission after this, and I also won't have any fear while in the territory of the Zhang Clan""Even though I know you won't pull any tricks on me or try to harm me, still being cautious isn't a bad thing.

"Why would you do that? I had thought that you were my friend," Cho Byeol shouted at the man, who was standing in front of her. She felt extremely aggrieved. She was lying on the ground, injured. Furthermore, she was this much injured because of the aftermath of the battle earlier. Even though Cho Byeol hadn't participated in the battle, she still got injured. The battle, which had happened earlier, was out of her league, especially after her cultivation level dropped to the early stages. If she had her previous cultivation level, she wouldn't have gotten this injured just because of a battle's aftermath. "Why would I? Simple, because we need your mother's physique. Yes, that is right that I had considered you my friend before, even though I had befriended you for a purpose. But then my uncle reminded me of our purpose and that this is a cultivation world. We need to be prepared to do anything, in order to achieve our ambitions and goals. Even if that means to kill our own kin, let a

Su Zhao was not worried at all that Cho Byeol got away, instead, he was smiling, as if he wanted Cho Byeol to get away from here.Eun Kyung didn't see Su Zhao smiling, because her face was still under Su Zhao's foot.After a while, Dong-Min came to Su Zhao's side, he had already regained consciousness."Uncle Su, where is Cho Byeol? I can't see her anywhere." Dong-Min asked his uncle after seeing that Cho Byeol was not around."She got away," Su Zhao said expressionlessly, with a calm tone.When Eun Kyung heard Su Zhao's calm tone she understood that something was amiss."What! Why did you let her go, uncle, what if she brings her father and clan members back here?" Dong-Min became nervous when he heard Su Zhao and asked anxiously."You fool, of course, she would bring others here with her. As for his father, he has already left the clan for some mission, or do you think that we would have succeeded in our scheme if he was here?

"And how's that?" Yang Zhai asked while frowning, he didn't understand what Bae Ah was trying to say. According to Yang Zhai, Cho Byeol didn't change at all.And how did he make the comparison? Simple, after hearing what Bae Ah said, and he also knew about Cho Byeol's personality, it could only be of someone who didn't get much experience."Tell me, if you know about something, won't you think about that thing or try to adjust things in a way, which comforts or benefits you? Unconsciously,""For example, if you are lost in a jungle and find a correct way. But you discover that there are two paths to get out of that jungle.

Yang Zhai was still searching when he heard some noises coming from the cave on his left side. Yang Zhai used his methods to make himself invisible and entered the cave.He could sense that it was dangerous to enter the cave. And from the noises he could hear, he understood that there were many beasts in the cave, as for what Rank they possessed was unknown.After a while, Yang Zhai could see some beasts. These beasts looked like monkeys, but their ears extended to the size of one meter, and their height was around 1.5 meters.Yang Zhai didn't know about these beasts, and he also couldn't sense their Rank. It looked like they had the ability to hide their aura or something.Yang Zhai carefully moved deeper into the cave. The passageway for going deep in the cave was three to four meters narrow. He saw many beasts along the way. They were in groups of two to three, and he could see many groups from time to time.Yang Zhai kept on w

While thinking, Yang Zhai saw that the monkey king was struggling to stand up. Yang Zhai knew that this was his chance. So without waiting further, he pushed his hand forward and white light shot out, which turned into a black blade. When the monkey king saw the blade appearing out of nowhere and that the blade was moving towards it, the monkey king tried to dodge but was unable to. The blade hit the monkey king's chest and a deep wound was inflicted. It couldn't dodge because the monkey king was wounded on one leg and the blade's speed itself was extremely high. Yang Zhai continued to attack and only stopped when the monkey king was barely alive. He didn't kill it because he was afraid that the other monkeys might sense it, or some other problems might occur, like what if the monkey king had a connection with the sand or this cave. He was afraid of any problems occurring. When he made sure that the monkey king's eyes had lost their light and that it could barely hear anything, he

Final Round(Part 3)
"One thousand mid-grade essence stones is no small amount for a common disciple for sure." Zing Ghe thought and was impressed that the Ma clan was serious about bribing Yang Zhai. These many essence stones were nothing in front of Zing Ghe, but what surprised him was that they were being given to an ordinary disciple, who would be happy even with just 100 low-grade essence stones.Not only that, but the Kroy city's emblem was no joke, even Zing Ghe was surprised. It was like: the Ma and the Bai clans were ready to lose a huge amount of benefits with just this emblem that even 1000 mid-grade essence stones could not compare to. And at that, they were willing to even give up their nomination spot. Kroy City was no ordinary city. Even the Ma clan and Bai clan joining together were like ants in front of Kroy City."Let's do it like this, Yang Zhai, if you accept their offer, we will do everything in our power to assassinate you, even if it costs us the annihilation of the whole clan, reme

If you are, then begin" Zing Ghe asked the two and was about to begin the fight when he heard Jun Haru's voice."Wait,""What is it?" Zing Ghe stopped and asked."Yang Zhai, tell me, have you been happy in the Bai clan?" Said Jun Haru."Why suddenly ask that?"

"I don't think I need to explain the rules of the competition. So, without further ado, let us begin the final round of this competition." Zing Ghe announced the start of the final round and continued, "The first battle will be between Ke Xin and Ai Hao." Even though Zing Ghe knew that Ai Hao had died, he still called her name. The reason was that he was an over-watcher and had to follow the rules so that nobody could blame their loss on him. After all, the Bai clan could say that they lost because Zing Ghe did not call for Ai Hao and gave one victory to the Ma clan for no reason. Ke Xin walked up the stage and stood proudly as if he had conquered the competition by himself. "Look at his proud face. He should be thankful that there is no one facing him; otherwise, he would have already been thrown out off the stage.""Right, he lost his first two battles in only two fists. Two fists were all it took to defeat him in two rounds. And look at him, standing as if he has won because of

A month and two days passed, and the day of the final round of the competition had finally arrived. A huge crowd was gathered around the empty stage. On the two sides of the competition venue were two camps: one side belonged to the Ma clan and the other one to the Bai clan. Today was very important for both clans, so both clan leaders of the two clans were here. Even the second and third elders of the two clans were here. Besides them were also a few other elders.Zing Ghe came onto the stage and began his usual speech, "Today, as everyone knows, is the final round of the competition. Betting on anyone is also on. You can bet anything, even your life. As everyone knows, I am an over-watcher. I know many secrets that you don't.

Yang Zhai's arms started to change colors constantly and returned to their original color after a while. After a while, a colorless aura began to enter his arms. Si Kim sat in his place and the aura did not affect him. However, "I am unable to detect this aura's true origins, I cannot even sense to which path it belongs. But what is even more strange is that my detection method started to change itself when it touched the aura. Just what exactly is this aura?" Zihao De muttered with confusion. He did not look away from Yang Zhai and kept his focus on him. After a while, Yang Zhai's arms completely absorbed the aura that they had released a while ago. Yang Zhai's eyes opened, and he looked at the floor around him. The area of the floor around him had small cracks in it. The small particles which were moving in Yang Zhai's bones had been absorbed by his bones. Only a little while had passed when Yang Zhai's mind went blank. "Change, everything changes.

Yang Zhai took his Kas and left the room. He returned to the room that was given to him by the Clan leader. "His body cultivation talent is not ordinary, I thought he would not even be able to put a single dent in the Brown Dacite, especially after knowing that is still a kid and had not experienced the world." Zihao De said to Tai Qi after Yang Zhai left. Tai Qi, however, was pondering something about something. After a while, he said, "I am more surprised about his will. It is obvious from his performance today that he has a lot of talent for body cultivation, but being able to endure so much is beyond unbelievable. His will is too strong. Zihao De, Yang Zhai owns a strong will. Forget about others, even I don't have this much of a strong will. His determination and endurance are beyond normal. Did you notice that a few strands of his hair even turned white from the pain? And his endurance is strong even without experiencing the world yet. If he becomes evil, he will unleash a gr

"Yang Zhai, stop, that's enough." Tai Qi stood up and stopped Yang Zhai from going any further. The sun had set and It was already night. Around five percent of Yang Zhai's hair had turned white from different spots. The dents had increased from nineteen to twenty-two. His arms were swelling and so did his hands. His face had red lines below his face as if he was crying: however, this was the result of his training. Because he had punched the Brown Dacite so much that his eyes and ears had started bleeding, even his nose and mouth were bleeding. But, Yang Zhai did not care and continued his training because he knew that the Clan leader would heal him after he stopped his training, the reason was that he was needed for the final round. And this was an opportunity that he could not waste. Yang Zhai stopped after the Clan asked him to. Yang Zhai stabilized himself first and stood straight with great difficulty. Because of standing in the same stance for more than eight hours, his legs

Yang Zhai walked forward and came in front of the rock. This rock was around a normal man's size. The color of the rock was brown, filled with red lines all over it. Yang Zhai touched and moved his hand lightly on the surface of the rock and felt its smoothness. "Brown Dacite…," Yang Zhai thought. This rock was not an ordinary rock, but was used by the cultivators to check the determination of the cultivators. This rock could endure the hit of even rank 5 cultivators. There was no way Yang Zhai could break it even with his full strength. However, if he wanted to put a dent in this rock, he would have to hit the same spot again and again until his blood spilled out of his fist and touched the rock. However, the rock would continuously send shocks into his hand, preventing it from getting injured, but his bones would continuously be affected by this rock, modifying his bones slowly. The pain he feels would keep on increasing with every fist. Nevertheless, it was an opportunity for Ya

"So, how's your cultivation going?" Elder Zihao De asked Si Kim and Yang Zhai. "Elder, my cultivation is going smoothly, and I am not facing any issues in my cultivation, but brother Yang Zhai…" Si Kim replied and stopped while speaking, "Yang Zhai what?" "Brother Yang Zhai is not advancing in his cultivation, in fact, his cultivation has dropped to rank 2 early-stage." "Hmm," When Zihao De heard this, his eyes narrowed, he was surprised, at least, that was what his expression looked like. He looked at Yang Zhai with a questioning expression. However, Yang Zhai looked at Zihao De and said with a slight hesitation on his face, "No, Elder, brother Si is lying, my cultivation is going fine. There… is no problem, you don't need to worry." "Hmm, are you sure?" Zihao De looked at Yang Zhai as if he did not believe Yang Zhai. "Brother Yang, what are you saying? You clearly told me that you were having issues with your cultivation, and it was decreasing. Why are you lying now?!
