…..
It was silent outside the valley.
The demon beasts had left a long time ago.
It was already daytime, as the sunlight filtered into the cave through thick bushes like fire.
The three were training cross-legged on the ground with steady breaths.
Not knowing how much time had passed, Leylin calmly woke up from the serenity. He stood up, stretched his neck, patted his clothes and moved his body.
“A.I.Chip show my status!”
[Beep! (Berkan Lenoir) Leylin Farlier, Strength: 11.2, Agility: 10.3, Vitality: 14.8, Profound Qi: Third Sky of Human Realm. Status: Healthy]
The Third Sky of Human Level!
With a deep breath, Leylin felt refreshed and his body much more energized, while his senses became much more accurate.
“The cultivation world is very interesting indeed, The life span of an ordinary Human Realm Warrior is about 200 years and if I were compare the strength would be around Level 3 Acolyte. In my case, my strength far surpasses this realm, so much that I am entirely above the spectrum in any one stat, not even a disaster realm is comparable to me in physical aspects.” Leylin clenched his fist and felt the smoldering power hidden inside, he could feel it clearly that even a single punch from his akin to a Rank 0 attack spell fired at black point.
“Disaster realm warriors are no longer my opponent but, Earth realm warriors aren’t that simple to deal with either. Although I haven’t fought against them, it’s stated that they have some resonance with the Earth. I need to experience and see for myself what the exactly means, as for my current power level it’s not as of I am invincible. I have my superior physical stats and my spells but the cultivators have their Martial Skills and their Martial Spirit!” Leylin would not make the stupid mistake of underestimating other just cause the opponents he fought so far were swiftly dealt with by him.
With the help of his devour system and magical power, Leylin’s training speed advanced as fast as a shooting arrow, and he increased to the Third Sky of Human Level in such a small time frame!
Standing at the entrance of the cave, he was able to perceive the spiritual scent between the sky and the earth. It was all so clear to him that he could sense it easily.
Leylin perceived the energy in the Dantian is compressed from the size of a fist to the size of a walnut and stopped at pea sized; and it was extremely pure in the energy.
As he perceived the spiritual scent, he could train his martial skills faster with its help.
As soon as he willed it, his body turned as hard as iron immediately, while his skin turned dark brown and was covered with a vague black light which was similar to the state when he operated his Black Light Shield.
“The Petrification Martial Spirit has also received a boost, it’s power is similar to that of a Rank 1 defensive spell and it’s very hard to penetrate.”
It was rather bright in the cave now. Leylin’s black eyes blinked and began to wander to Mable and Demi’s bodies.
“What should I do with them.” Leylin thought as he maneuvered the energy inside his body.
Leylin could feel the magical power split out from dozens of streams, roaming from inside his body through his muscles, veins, flesh and blood, emerging from his Martial Spirits and Profound Qi in his abdomen respectively.
With this speed, before long, this magical power emerged from all over his body and appeared brightly.
“This is the reserve of the devour force absorption inside my body, with my level of understanding it’s was fairly easy to manipulate it after concentrating my energy in Human Realm.”
Leylin was concentrating sternly right now. He forcibly blocked a small part of this strange power inside his arm. He was hanging onto this magical power very tightly and could possibly inject this part of the power into anyone’s body through the spillover of his Profound Qi.
“With this, if I want to I could easily heal Mable and help Demi to regain her lost Martial Spirit or possibly increase her cultivation speed drastically but… are these two worth my effort? There is no lack of talented gals for me to take under my command in the future and even if talent isn’t much for me, it’s a factor determining the least I need to input and more importantly their character is also not hungry enough to satiate my desire.”
Leylin snapped his fingers undoing his energy concentration as he looked at the two again, ‘Let’s just go with the flow, to be honest I am bored in this jungle it’s better to just go to Merchant Union and initiate the various things I have pending due to lack of better surrounding and situation.”
Mable and Demi were still sitting on the ground cross-legged with tightly closed eyes. There was a vague light moving around Demi body, as she operated Profound Qi in her body along specific paths.
Leylin could easily seer that Mable body was still as a rock as if she had no Profound Qi and it’s mostly because of the injury to her meridian.
“We should be going now.” Leylin said calmly
“Yeah.” Mable smiled casually as she got up, after a night passed and they calmed down both she and Demi understood that they are in debt of Leylin and he seemed to not have any ulterior motive. With that in mind their guard decreased and they decided to improve their attitude towards him.
Leylin gave her a side glance but showed no reaction to her good attitude.
Leylin didn’t bother to say anything. Instead, he walked out of the cave and began to wander in the valley.
A half day later, Demi and Mable walked out of the cave together. They were clean, dressed and high spirited, ready to set off.
“Thank you, young warrior. May I know what’s your name?” Demi said loudly after she got out.
“No!” Not intending to interact, Leylin smiled sweetly, and walked out of the valley.
Demi and Mable’s face fell as they clenched their teeth but staring at his moving back, they could only bear and follow. It’s not that they were intended on following him but Leylin walked in the direction of their destination and with Mable who is unable to fight, Demi decided it’s better to walk with Leylin.
…
Seven days later.
The three of them finally stepped out of the enormous Dark Forest.
Looking at the huge ancient trees behind them, Demi and Mable both felt themselves lucky survivors of a disaster.
In those seven days, they never got into any danger.
The warriors and mercenaries in the Dark Forest had either died or were wounded, not daring to stay in that dangerous area. The demon beasts led by the Silver Thunder Wolf had also calmed down and didn’t show up again.
Since the demon beasts and mercenaries were quiet, their journey became magically smooth. Without meeting any obstacles, they went through the most dangerous area and stepped out of the Dark Forest.
They need to pass Silent Town if they were going to the Merchant Union, and they must cross the wide Stone Woods to get to the Silent Woods.The stones in the Stone Woods were all grotesque in shape, which were either as big as a mountain, or as small as a human. In addition, there were also many stone caves, which were natural shelters.
There were always brutal warriors lurking in the Stone Woods, killing and trading.
Those walking out of the Dark Forest were trade caravans, or warriors and mercenaries who were seeking adventure.
Merchants from foreign countries must have goods with them, while those adventurous warriors and mercenaries, who could get out of the Dark Forest alive, must have medicines and materials from demon beasts.
These people all had something valuable with them…
Therefore, there were people hiding in the Stone Woods for years, who would show up if they found their prey was weak and harvest their goods after a nasty slaughter.
Thus, sometimes the Stone Woods were more dangerous than the Dark Forest. A single man who stepped into it, unless he was a Disaster Level warrior, would always get into trouble.
“The Stone woods is very dangerous. Maybe the people from the Dark World are lurking there…” Demi thought for a while and reminded Mable.
“Someone will come to our aid in the Stone Woods, no worries.” Mable smiled and looked forward to their companion who mostly kept to himself, Leylin, “You are going into the Stone Woods?”
“Yes. I’m from the Merchant Union, of course I will go back there. ” Leylin replied, a response that shocked both of them because in these days Leylin has mostly ignored them. At first they were pissed but his unique demeanor and dashing attitude was too intriguing for Mable and Demi to keep quiet as they made small talk, sometimes Leylin answered calmly, while sometimes his answer were obnoxious while other times he just plainly ignored them outright.
The most rare cases was when he actually answered them affirmatively.
“Good. Then let’s go there together. You will be safe with us in the Stone Woods.” Mable looked confident, and before Leylin replied, she added, “I know you are strong but in these parts not even a Disaster Realm Warrior can guarantee his safety. let’s go into the Stone Woods. Don’t worry, we are safe now.”
“…” Leylin didn’t reply. Leylin knew it was chaos in the Stone Woods. All the powerful parties were involved in it, including the big families from the Merchant Union.
He knew exactly what Mable had that made her so confident. Leylin kept calm as he looked around in the woods.
Mable and Demi ere discussing something behind him. Leylin didn’t bother to hear them.
“Hey, you.” Mable paused abruptly and move forward to look at him.
‘Here it goes, I guess we seperate now. Good riddance.’
“Yeah?” Leylin yawned and raised his eyebrows, “What’s the matter?”
“You are from the Merchant Union?” Mable hesitated and then asked casually.
“Hmm.”
“You trained all by yourself?”
“You can say that.”
“You helped me a lot all along the way, so I want to introduce you to someone. If he thinks highly of you, it will be very beneficial for your training. What do you think?” Mable was serious, as her beautiful eyes shone and gazed at him.
Leylin looked at her unamused, he shook his head and replied indifferently, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t like to be restrained. And more importantly, I highly doubt your backer is good enough for me.”
He knew that Mable wanted to introduce him to an influential person or to a certain power.
In this world there were many single warriors who were at a very high level and could do whatever they wanted without any help.
But most warriors would choose to attach themselves to a certain power or a big family.
Those powers and families possessed lots of resources, immense Martial Skills and training materials, and most importantly, reputed warrior trainers, which could speed up one’s training process and step into a higher level.
However, those influential powers and families hardly admitted unknown warriors. It was very hard for a warrior to enter a big power without anyone’s introduction.
Mable apparently knew someone influential and she wanted to thank or perhaps rope him in, to her Leylin is a talented youth with a bright future and she also feels indebted to him.
Leylin obviously knew that her backer is the Crystal Family which don’t really have a great relationship with his Lenoir Family, and since he already belong to the direct line of one of the five influential family of Merchant Union, why would he choose Crystal Family? The Lenoir family not only has a blood relationship with him but also has the training method and secret skills adept for his petrification Martial spirit.
