While travelling for a whole afternoon, Seijou was now higher up in the mountain but still so far away from the peak. The temperature here was hotter than the previous one making Seijou pant. He never let down his guard and was looking for signs if he was being followed.
The sun was now setting onto the horizon.
Seijou was still carrying his bulging backpack while looking out for a place to set up his tent.
After putting up his tent and arraning everything, Seijou went inside and sat down as he started to cultivate once again. He was currently at the 7th stage of Awakening Realm but his combat prowess exceeds his current realm. In terms of combat alone, he was now umatched in the Awakening Realm. Paired with his powerful Earth Shattering Fist, he can completely stand on a stalemate between him and a fighter from the 3rd stage of Earth Realm.
He was looking inside his dantian and saw that the lake that only had a few drops before has now almost 100 mliliters of unknown substance imside it. But due to the size of this massive lake, it was almost nothing.
His senses was extremely sharp as he focused it on his surroundings looking for a sign or unusual things. Even though he was inside, he can clearly hear around 50 meters away.
Seijou continued cultivating until the sky turned bright once again. It was already morning and he went to train his martial arts once again. He practiced his Earth Shattering onto a few boulders and easily crushed him. He then practiced on using his skill, The Way of the Dragon.
The Way of the Dragon requires a large amount of spiritual qi because it's a combo attack.
Seijou gathered spiritual qi while envisioning a mighty dragon roaring on the skies. The dragon blew fire and everything on it's path was destroyed. Seijou then launched his first kick into a rock that was almost 150 kilograms and made a slight crack on it. There was also a faint silhouette of a dragon that formed on his right leg when he made the kick.
After the first kick, Seijou followed by a palm strike towards the rock, the silhouette was now coming to life as it twirled around his hand.
Boom!
The rock was blown away by the force, as Seijou stepped back and sat-crossed leg replenishing his qi that was almost drained. He only managed to strike 2 out of 3 combos until he was fully drained. He didn't even used the full power on the first attack.
Seijou took a deep breath as he closed his eyes and was replaying the feeling and strength he had in his mind. The first attack wasn't really that powerful, but if he managed to use it's full power, it is enough to blow the rock into pieces.The first kick was merely there to either inflict damage into the enemy or to distract him from the second and third attack.
The second attack was a palm strike which was a powerful one. He recalled that the second one required the triple amount of qi than the first one, meaning that as you do the combo respectively, it needs more and more spirit qi.
After recovering, Seijou stood up as he once again faced another huge stone. This time, the stone was larger and heavier.
He calmed his breathing and a mighty dragon was imprinted into his mind. He didn't sprang into action immediately, but instead waited for 3 breaths as the dragon encircling his body was now visible. He then suddenly launched forward and struck the stone with his kick which tore through the air with his full strength.
Swoosh!
Boom!
The large stone was sent flying more than 30 meters away as it was now full of cracks.
Instead of immediately launching his second attack, Seijou steadied his breathing once more as large amounts of spirit qi was being absorbed by him.
The dragons was now on his arms as they entwined and danced.
He then launched to the stone and delivered his palm strike.
Swoosh!
ROAR!
BOOM!
The huge rock was blown into smithereens as Seijou was once again breathing heavily. He didn't even manage to get to his 3rd combo which is a series of kicks intended on finishing his enemy.
The sheer amount of strength was ineed worthy to say that he can fight a cultivator who was a few levels higher than him.
"This is indeed powerful and all but I can't use it until I am in danger or my life is flashing before my eyes. This consumes too much spiritual qi....I'm only at the Awakening Realm!" Seijou muttered to himself.
He was said to have lack of talent and only dirtied the name of his father. His whole life growing up, he really did believe he doesn't have talent, but nobody knew that he is one of the most talented and genius of his generation. He was only called that because he had no proper educatiom about cultivating, no cultivation techniques, no elixirs was given to him, no special medicines and was never given time by his parents.
Yet now, within 2 days in the Hell Mountain, he had already learnt 2 skills which his master had given to him.
Seijou was currently cultivating with his eyes closed. He can feel as though large amounts of spirit qi was forming and was rampaging causing him to feel pained.
He knew that he was achieving yet another breakthrough in his cultivation. He then focused and led his qi to open his meridians.
boom.
A slight muffled booming sound was heard on his body as he fehlt stronger. He then casually stood up and did some basic exercises to stabilize the power in his body.
After a while.
Seijou was quietly standing on top of a tree and was looking at a wild boar more than 90 meters away from him. Wild boars are one of the lowest ranked beasts and was almost even considered as a normal animal. But because some boars killed some people with it's sharp horns, it was placed at the bottom.
The wild boar was slowly walking and passed by the tree where Seijou was standing at. It kept looking everywhere on fear that someone might see it. Because it knows of it's weakness, he was cautious. But unlucky for him...
Seijou jumped and instantly landed on the boar and swing his knife into it's throat swiftly. He then followed by swinging his knife 2 more times and the life on the boar's eyes became lifeless.
After killing the wild boar, Seijou was extremely happy and brought it back into his camp where he lit up the fire and started cooking it. The unusual thing about this boar was it had fur, which was extremely thick. This may also explain the reason why he can survive in this mountain.
After eating while praising himself as usual, Seijou went inside his tent. He bagan to cultivate again. The assasin didn't show his self for the entire day, but that didn't let Seijou lower his guards. He was curious if the incident yesterday was purely coincidence or intentional. He knew that he didn't offend somebody to kill him all the way here. He and his master was also never seen leaving the sect.
"Just who the f*ck are you?!" Seijou cursed in his mind.
