A couple of days passed. Chen Kai hunted a couple of beasts as Tercres suggested him, he made a couple of hundred Golden Taels with the corpses of the beasts and their Spiritual gems
Besides that he decided to depart to the tournament already, he still wants to see Yue, the last thing he yearns for, but still, Tercres managed to make him change his decision by telling him how weak he was compared with those cultivators in the Xiao Sect, and what will happen if Yue was in a stronger sect he couldn't access with his current power
Tercres was still with him wanting to get something that could help him and it seems that he discovered something because, in those two days, he had been in deep thought at all moments, it made even Chen Kai uncomfortable at times
The pair were walking on a dirt road when Tercres said " I think I kinda got it "
Chen Kai turns around and sees him with a face of doubt then he says " You have? I mean you have been silent for a couple of days, is it that hard? "
Tercres frowns and says " It's hard to tell, but I think I need to try it at least, but sadly I can't do it here "
Chen Kai made a face of doubt and said " Why? "
Tercres raised his shoulders as he said " Cado forbid me to show any techniques to the others, don't ask me why but it seems that they do not want us to learn from each other "
" Why is that? " Chen Kai answers with a doubtful expression " I don't know but it seems that it is part of those rules we received at the start, anyway, I think that this is our farewell, I need some time to try the next phase, so I think we won't see each other " Tercres smiled at Chen Kai and points his fist at him
" Yeah, I think that too " And with that Chen Kai crashes fists with Tercres in a friendly manner
" If you follow this road, you will arrive at the closest city, I think, so good luck " Tercres smiled at Chen Kai and flew away while Chen Kai saw his departing silhouette with a grin, then he whispered ' I hope you find her after you achieve what you want, I will do the same with Yue faster than you think ' Then Chen Kai turns around and walks away
Chen Kai ran at a decent speed, going fast but not so much to get tired quickly. Chen Kai raised his head and thought ' It's getting late, I need to stop for the night '
Chen Kai stopped and went inside the forest ' Alright, first I need to find something to eat ' Chen Kai began to look around using his Ki senses after a couple of seconds he found what he was looking for ' Over there, it isn't a powerful beast, it should be a quick easy meal '
Chen Kai ran toward the beast and jumped against it when it was close. The beast looked like a deer but was blue with long, shiny red horns. The deer didn't have time to react when *PAM* Chen Kai hit its head slamming it to the ground and killing it in the process. He looks at the beast's corpse and with a surprised face he says " I didn't think it was a red-horned deer, those horns are priceless I could receive a few hundred golden taels for them " Chen Kai kneels next to the corpse and raises it to put it in his right shoulder then, then he began to walk deeper in the forest
After a few hours of preparing everything, Chen Kai was sitting on a log next to a campfire where some parts of the deer were cooking, Chen Kai with a chunk of meat in his right hand and a horn in the other as he thought looking at the horn ' These things are long and very sturdy, it's a shame that they can't be used to make weapons, but at least some use them to make decorations, so I'm fortunate ' then he bites the chunk of meat
Chen Kai made a frowning expression looking at the horns while thinking ' Maybe I can make a pair of swords with them ' Chen Kai knew that the red horns couldn't be forged as weapons because they aren't compatible with Spiritual Energy, but what about his Ki? he needs to try it so...
Chen Kai Ki raised and a blue aura appeared around him then " Wow " he said looking at the horn that turned from blood red to a shiny crimson it even had the same blue aura as his Ki and later something happened that made him look at the horn with shock " What?! " The horn changed its color once again turning into a dark blue color
Chen Kai's aura disappeared and he looked at the horn in his right hand with shock " I never expected this, but it absorbed my Ki " Chen Kai swung the horn a few times and then he stabbed the trunk where he was sitting previously *CRACK* the trunk broke in half and Chen Kai said in surprise " It's sturdier than before, If I can forge a sword with each horn they could be turned into King Tier sword, this is amazing " Chen Kai smiles widely and he grabs the other blood red horn, then he process to do the same until the horn changed its color to dark blue
Chen Kai looked at the blue-colored horns in his hands with a wide smile then he said " Now, I need to find a good blacksmith, I'm sure that in the Xuexin empire, there will be someone who could help me with them, I just need more money to pay for them, a lot more "
Chen Kai knew that the swords could be forged but as the material he had now was scarce the cost would be enormous so he had planned to hunt every beast on his path to get their Life Gems maybe in these months he would travel to the Xuexin Empire he could get enough to make a good fortune
Suddenly Chen Kai looks to his left with a nervous expression thinking ' A large group is coming there are at least 30 of them, the weakest could be a little bit weaker than me, but the most powerful ones are almost as strong as Elder Jin '
Chen Kai stayed still ' It's a caravan of sort of? no, their numbers and strengths are too much for just that ' Then between the group presences Chen Kai felt a familiar energy ' No way! it's her again! What the hell does she want?! ' Chen Kai felt Lan Xue's energy in the group so he turned around and began to run away as fast as he could without leaving the red horns behind
' F*ck! Without Tercres's help I can't survive a head-on battle against them my best chance is to escape from them ' Chen Kai thought with a serious expression, he knew that Lan Xue was searching for him and she wanted to kill him ' Crazy b*tch! What did I do to you that I deserve to die?! '
Chen Kai's anger towards Lan Xue grew, she remembered all the times she had sent members of her clan to hit him, but they never dared to kill him, maybe it was because of his clan, but now that she thinks he is a beggar she won't think twice to kill him
" F*cking b*tch! " Chen Kai cursed as he felt their energies get closer so he didn't have another choice but to stop and face them " Dammit! " Chen Kai said as he turned around then he opened his palm creating a big shiny blue sphere " Get closer bastards " He whispered with a frowning expression and waited
