Yang Zhai pulled his arm back. It had completely turned black. There were even purple marks on it.
He tried to close his hand. He could move it, but couldn't close it. However, he activated the Blood Demon Ka and moved his arm with its help.
It's working, huh? I wanted to try this in case I might need it in an emergency: he contemplated.
With the help of Blood Demon Ka, he could move his arm freely.
I can't use my usual methods in front of others. I must enter this world as a mastery path cultivator. And to do that, I need to hide my strength, my kas, my ires and everything else. Besides, I don't have any ka that can reach this much of a distance and my other techniques don't have such speed to reach it quickly enough.
Even though I have enough strength to throw the Corpse Collector and reach it in time, I can't. After all, I am a mastery path cultivator, not a body path cultivator.
These were his thoughts.
After that, he activated the Damnation Snake.
A snake appeared out of his hand and shot towards the monkey. It bit the monkey and ate it away. It's
Right after activating the technique, he started to move his purified void rays to circulate in his body. This would gradually reduce and eventually eliminate the toll it took on his body.
Toll? Even though the effects start to show or only show starting from the body part a technique is used from, it affects the entire body: Hae Jin thought.
From the Earth's point of view, It's like a virus that spreads into the entire body, like cancer. It would only affect my arm. However, its effects should have already spread into my veins and blood, Yang Zhai considered.
"After using a technique, the toll would subtly start to increase with every technique used after that. Now, if he uses a technique again, the effect it leaves would be more than it should have and would increase more with the third try, it doesn't matter if he uses another technique as well. After every usage of a technique, the next technique would leave more toll than it should on the first attempt." Wu Zhi muttered.
The snake ate away the monkey, leaving everyone in shock.
What just happened?!
What did he just use? Was it a technique?
"It should be, look at his arm!"
"It completely turned black and purplish…"
"No wonder it managed to eat a rank 4 beast in a mere moment without giving it the chance to even move!"
"Where did he even learn this from?"
The cultivators of the qafila were flabbergasted.
It's still there and hasn't disappeared yet: Elder Jin noticed the snake on the branch where it had consumed the monkey.
"What?! Cheating you did!"
The leading vulpia shouted.
"And how?"
Yang Zhai was indifferent and inquired.
"Monkey, you killed, cheating!"
Yang Zhai was silent for a moment before saying,
"Didn't you say that there were no rules? This was the reason you could make us compete against a monkey. There was only one condition: winning."
"You…"
The leading vulpia was left in a daze. He was used by this clever human.
"Impressive, Tzu Yu, I didn't expect you to play such a trick. In fact, I am sure nobody expected something like this. You impressed me."
Before the vulpia could even say something, it was interrupted by Hae Jin. He was annoyed by the leading vulpia from the start.
"But, what technique did you just use? Aren't you a Mastery Path cultivator?"
Hae Jin was curious.
The Shadow Leopard kept on running and completed the round, it had won. It didn't slow after winning; instead, it halted, made a sharp turn, and then ran back.
"Elder, I learned this technique from the same inheritance I told you about. In a scroll, it was written that every Mastery Path cultivator should have at least one such technique to defend themselves," Yang Zhai said.
"Oh, so it was from that inheritance. That person who left that inheritance must have been a strong cultivator."
The snake slithered back to Yang Zhai and landed on his left arm.
"Why hasn't it disappeared yet? Could it be that you managed to materialize it by giving it life into this world…" Hae Jin inquired.
"No, no, it will disappear in a few days. Also, it has no life. After all, a soul isn't something that can be created," Yang Zhai rejected right away.
"You, the next round we start, ready you do," the leading vulpia interrupted them.
I have been deceived by these humans; I must take my revenge: it thought.
"Fine, let's begin the second round then,"
Hae Jin came forward.
Yang Zhai walked to the back with the Shadow Leopard and a black dark snake on his left arm. It was attracted to this side of his body for some reason.
Even though it won't grow like cancer, it will remain in my body if nothing is done. I must get rid of these negative effects left by the Damnation Snake: Yang Zhai thought.
To do that, there was a particular pattern in which he needed to circulate his purified void rays into his body and veins to clean his body. He was already doing it.
He was walking back when he heard the leading vulpia's words
"Do this we, you let the boy from before compete again, you win, two wins. You lose, only one loss. Benefit you do both way,"
Yang Zhai: "..."
What the…
He turned around to look at the vulpia. Did revenge really matter to them this much?
He had just returned when he was being called again, and when did they even learn to negotiate?
Hae Jin was silent for a while before turning around to look at Yang Zhai.
However, Yang Zhai turned around nonchalantly and continued walking. He was shamelessly walking to the middle again.
Once was enough. Yang Zhai had joined them, not become their slave. He didn't say anything for the first time, but that didn't mean they could order him around.
This was something Hae Jin knew, this was the reason why he turned to look at Yang Zhai.
