Will woke up in the morning. It was a beautiful morning with the scenic view outside of his house and Esaka would be slightly chilly making it look like he was in a tourist destination like his previous life.
'It's the perfect time for hunting. Either way, I need money, the only idea I can think of for Fio to get into the sect is bribing someone... but in the long run, that might not be advantageous; If in the future she faces any problems this could act as a loose thread.'
'Should I teach her myself??'
'I can teach her but not in-depth. My comprehension of the ice element is zero...'
There were several reasons for which he wanted Fionna to get into a sect. One small reason was his guilt. In his past life, she sacrificed her love, her passion, and her purity for resources for both of them. At that time and in that situation he could not help her, but now...
'That pretentious bastard has to die this time...' He swore to himself.
'If in the future I am not powerful enough when the higher realm invaded, I would not be able to protect her. So the sect might act as a backing for her and protect her.'
'I mean something is still better than nothing.'
'Haaa... let's not think about that right now... one thing at a time man...'
Will decided to go to the forest so that he can hunt monsters and sell their materials. In his previous life, he only had very little experience in hunting monsters but had full theoretical knowledge about monsters and he also had experience fighting humans.
'I have to check the limits of my body. I can feel that I am physically stronger than any cultivator in the foundation establishment realm.'
'Like my previous life, I will go with a sword... The only thing lacking right now is martial techniques... movement technique is not needed right now and all the sword techniques I know are the ones given to a soldier by the ' that family'. They are easily recognizable.'
'I do have a sword technique, Yes!! let's go with the vanishing sword technique.'
Will and others were handed this sword technique when they were in 'war' with the people of the higher realm. The sword technique specialized in speed and it was very hard to understand because it was a neutral sword technique making itself purely based on sword comprehension.
In his previous life, he could not understand this technique because the technique requires many life and death battles for its understanding but this time he will be ready for it. And another reason is that no one would be able to recognize the technique because the technique was stolen from someone from the higher realm.
'Sigh... I cannot learn such a hard technique directly. I have to experience some battle with the sword first...'
With that determination, he went hunting. He passed the city gates and after some time of walking off the road, he reached the lush green forest, he could hear the sound of birds, monsters howling, and all such.
The first monsters he found were rabbits which he overlooked; and proceeding further in, he found simian apes. he held his sword and the moment he held his sword his fighting spirit started rising which could not go unnoticed by the simian apes which were in a pair.
They were qi refinement realm monsters. They straight-up dashed towards Will. They were weaker than him so he aimed for their neck making them scared hence they started shouting and using their tail. The tail was considered their strongest part which could even injure a cultivator in the foundation establishment realm. and it is also an alchemy material. But even when he was attacked by the tail, he was only pushed away; Obviously, he felt pain but there were no injuries, making him happy about his body.
Hearing their screams another two pairs came and used nature to their advantage but Will also started doing the same, He did not falter; he took some dirt in his hands and threw it in their eyes which made them quite agitated. Hence all of them started jumping from tree to tree including Will who wanted to cut them down. In the end, Will killed all of them and collected their tails in a leather bag.
After going further in, he saw many apes and after killing them and roaming around, he saw a lone lupine wolf. It was an early-stage foundation establishment realm monster.
'It's good that he is alone... I will have to kill him before he calls for help...'
Will dashed toward the wolf and the wolf jumped on him attempting to bite him. Seeing the wolf jump Will had a slight smirk on his face, he increased his speed, and with one slash he tried to cut the hind legs of the wolf which were his weak spots. Before the wolf could shout for help he whacked his sword on his head and killed him. He took the wolf's teeth and wanted to end his hunt but he heard someone shouting...
"Aargghh"
'let's see who was that... If it's feasible, I might help them'
After he went toward the screaming he saw a woman not much older than him, wearing a white robe with blue outlines. The face and robe were bloodied but he still could tell that she was from the Ice heart sect. the woman was fighting a python which was also seriously injured. But the tide of the battle was on the python's side as he started to coil itself around the injured woman.
Will thought for a moment if he could win or not and then he dashed towards the python with full speed and slashed under his poison sack which was his weak point. The python could sense the attack coming but as it was coiled around the injured woman, it could not react and died under Will's hand and the slash was so fast and hard it also broke his ordinary sword.
The woman was shocked when someone saved her but when she saw that he was a man she started to frown but the man's handsome face put her into a daze and in the end, she could only mutter...
"So you are a man huh..." which could not go unnoticed by Will.
She took out some pill and after engulfing it she started meditating...
"Ok. I will stay on guard here and.... you're welcome." Will said the last words with a deadpan face.
After some time she opened her eyes and Will's handsome face still put her into a daze. and hence she said something without thinking...
"W-what are you doing here??"
"What kind of question... haaa... Miss, I am here to hunt some monsters for money.
"Ohh... A-and thank you!! for saving my life"
"Don't worry about that"
"NO!! I am a proud disciple of the ice heart sect, I cannot have myself be indebted to a man.
You can ask if you want something" she said with conviction. she thought as the man needed money he would ask for the spoils of the battle. she had a good impression of him until now, she could not see any lewdness in his gaze.
"No, I don't need anythi... Wait I do need a favour... can you get my little sister in the ice heart sect..."
"Umm, I don't think I am capab.."
"I am sorry my sister can't wait for 3 more years and I don't have any connections so I just want you to contact some elder of the ice heart sect you know..."
"You want me to bring my master...." the woman
"You don't have to worry about anything just ask the elder to check her and if she is not very talented, don't give her admission into the sect anytime and I am not even talking about medium talented"
Will could see some hesitance in the woman's eyes and before she could reach a conclusion he continued...
"I mean anyone would do this for saving their life" Will muttered in a slow tone.
Hearing this she agreed and then he gave her his address for his rental house so that she could contact him about the situation and he will have to act accordingly.
"Ohh we never introduced ourselves... did we, my name is Will. I am a free cultivator"
My name is Elizabeth...I am..." They started talking about some random topic and after some time as the sun was setting, they separated from each other.
Meanwhile, all of this was being watched by a woman floating in the air. she also wore a white robe and had a cold face with a slight smile...
'Heeh... This kid is quite interesting.." after saying that she went away, which also was unnoticed by both of them.
