55- Nothing is Fair in ‘Love and War’ ‘’Nothing’s fair in love and war''. Especially in the cultivation world. There are many situations, where a single person is surrounded by many people and the single person can get attacked from anywhere. There are no rules when fighting with the enemy and that is especially true when there is greed, hatred, and other things involved. Of course, sometimes there will be situations where two people agree to fight one on one, for their grievances, or a bet they made between themselves or for a woman or some other reason. Most of the time the rules are followed. But what if, a person between the two, has a huge background? And in the fight, he is about to lose? Consider that this person is from a powerful clan or sect or some powerful organization. And these powerful clans, sects, and organizations can do anything to save their face, people, or interests. Then here that person’s background will interfere with the fight, and gradually the

Right now, there are still 5 snakes alive. 1 Refinement stage snake and 4 Evolver stage snakes (2 Low level and 2 Mid level). Seeing that only 5 of them are alive, one of the mid level Evolver stage snakes, went to the snake which I earlier attacked with the spear and pinned it to the ground. It wrapped its tail and pulled the spear out and rescued its companion. ‘hiss’ After the mid level snake was done rescuing its companion, it hissed and gave some kind of command. And all the snakes marched towards me. And when they were close, they launched an attack on me. When I saw them still attacking, I sneered. Because
57- Exp Farming 2 After adding the ‘Free stat Points’, I turned back and locked on to the injured Low level Evolver stage snake, which was still near the ‘Purple Dome Mushroom’. After a little thought, I decided to kill it later. And then locked on to the other Low level Evolver stage snake which was chasing me along with the other 2 mid level evolver stage snakes. I took out another spear from the ‘Storage Box’ and as the snakes got closer, I threw the spear toward one of the mid level Evolver stage snakes and attacked the Low Level Evolver stage snake. Once upon a time, someone said: “A team is as strong as its weakest member.” And I followed the same principle. The spear was like a distraction to the group of snakes and as they were focused on dodging the attack, I slashed towards the Low level Evolver stage snake. ‘Ding’ ‘4340 Exp.’ ‘Level up’ ‘Level up’ ‘Obtained 60 Free stat Points and 3 extra Free stat Points for leveling up 2 times consecutively.’

First of all, I never expected that something like this would happen. I used the ‘Practice sword’ just because it was the weapon with the lowest stats that I have and even if it got damaged, I wouldn’t feel any distress about it. And to increase my fighting experience, I will have to constantly face many new and stronger enemies. And as the level of my enemies increases, I will be needing stronger weapons too. So, any weak weapons that I have, can either be sold or used for miscellaneous things or given/lent to someone else. The same goe
59- Revealed After a few minutes, I reached the pond through which the hidden cave can be entered. First, I had a look at the surroundings and saw that there was no abnormality. Since there was nothing wrong, I dived into the pond and swam back to the hidden cave. ‘splash’ As soon as my head came out of the water, I sensed something coming toward me at a high speed. Realizing that I was in danger, I did not even look at what it was and dived back into the water. ‘splash’ With the little bit of visibility I had, I found that it was a stone thrown at me. I moved away from my initial position so that the attacker will not be able to lock my position and take another shot at me. As I was moving in the water and trying to guess who attacked me. Armelia’s voice rang “Orochi is that you? I am sorry, I thought it was someone else.” Hearing that it was Armelia who attacked, normally I should have gotten angry but I controlled my emotions because I need the complete ‘Pur
60- Revealed 2 “What are you dazing off for? Quickly use the ‘Purple dome Mushroom’.” Armelia’s shout woke me up from my thinking. I took out the ‘Purple dome Mushroom’ from the inventory and asked Armelia “Why are you giving me the ‘Purple dome Mushroom’? You have helped in taking away half of the snakes and without your help, it would have been impossible for me to get the ‘Purple dome Mushroom’, so half it should belong to you.” To this Armelia replied with a flat tone “I don’t need the ‘Purple dome Mushroom’, I decided to steal it as I felt that it might be useful in suppressing the poison in your body. Plus, I... I wanted to thank you for saving me yesterday and as a token of apology for hurting you yesterday, so I felt that taking a little risk and helping you get this ‘Purple dome Mushroom’ was the correct thing.” When I heard this, a trace of warmth filled my heart. . A 15–16-year-old boy who has hardly seen any cruelty of the world in his life and, was living
61- Setting out 1 “Hmm?” As I opened my eyes, I felt pain all over my body. As I was trying to sit properly, two hands supported my back and helped me sit. I turned my head and saw that it was Armelia, who helped me. For this, I simply thanked her and asked, “What happened to me? Did I faint?” To this Armelia replied, “Yes, you were screaming with pain, but suddenly you lost consciousness. How are you feeling now?” I nodded my head and again asked, “Yes, although there are still some after-effects of the pain and burning sensations, I feel ok. How long was I unconscious?” “Hmm... I think you were asleep for almost one day. Actually, I did not go out of the hidden cave as I was afraid that some monsters will find us or you might have another problem. So from what I feel, you were asleep at least for the whole day.” Replied Armelia. Hearing this, my eyebrows got raised subconsciously, which means that it might be nighttime now. But suddenly I remembered something
62- Setting out 2 After done eating, I saw that Armelia was yawning, so I asked her, “Hey Armelia, did you not sleep?” Armelia replied, “As you were unconscious and I was worried that any accident might happen with you while I was sleeping, so I did not sleep.” Hearing this a smile appeared on my face and I rubbed her small head with my hand. And said, “Thank you for taking care of me. Sleep for a few hours and then we will set off.” “Heyy...” Armelia shyly looked at me with half-closed eyes and her face was slightly red. It was like she enjoyed the feeling but she wanted to show an angry expression as I touched her head and treated her like a small girl. I removed my hand and went a little away from Armelia and laid down. Seeing me lay, Armelia also laid down and closed her eyes. As I had enough sleep, I was not sleepy. So, to pass some time, I decided to check the unread messages from the system. So, I started looking at the messages one by one. ‘ding’ ‘Hid
