The sun was on the top of the sky indicating it was noon. However most of the sun rays couldn't come to ground with all those big trees. With all those big trees a giant shady area was made in the Blackwood Forest. In such damp area you could see a young teenager training martial arts who was no old than 15 . On a closed look you could look the sheer determination on the teenager's handsome face. Of course this was Qin Tian who was practicing martial arts to stabilize his foundation.
Qin Tian PoV
"Huff, Huff" It was harder than I imagined. If you are wondering what am I doing now, I am practicing the Qin Family special martial arts that was taught to its descendents from early age to strengthen their foundation and I am using this martial art to stabilize my foundation after breaking through so quickly. This martial arts specializes mostly in training a person's meridians while many foundation building martial arts specializes in training ones external body. I am doing exercises that will directly affect my Meridians while also making the body healthy. With this exercise meridians will be triggered and face very much pressure as well as empty Qi in a fast pace. With the constant pressure and the Qi going empty faster, the meridians will be more stable and powerful. These exercises are very tiring but also helps in muscle gains as well as improving blood flow. Yes I got the martial arts that Qin Tian practices but I am not going to be a expert in them in first try. I would still need to practice while I would get some help in comprehending those martial arts.
After bathing from the sweat I walked to the nearby pond. The pond has crystal clear water with some mortal grade herbs being around the pond purifying the pond water. I could see my reflection. I honestly didn't believe that such a handsome face was even possible in my world. This face was crystal clear without any impurities. Carrying this face in my world would make anyone a big celebrity. I know that cultivation also improves ones body and face while also getting rid of impurities but still this is mind boggling.
I really want to get out of this forest but I don't have the map and there are 5th grade beasts comparable to soul formation realm. So my chances are almost zero of going out of the forest. The array that the system had set was also gone and now the various spirit beasts could attack me. I have spent total of 1 week here and practiced martial arts from Qin Tian memories that I could practice with my cultivation. With this I can easily have a breakthrough to Spirit Foundation Realm . From then I can go to the human settlements if I am lucky.
I changed my rugged clothes to the new clothes given by the system. The clothes were given by system and just by touching them, I could feel that they are special. The clothes were black in color with golden dragon imprints on them that made the cloth look regal. I used the appraisal ability of the system to know about them
[ Name: Pair of clothes;
Type: Treasure ( Earth Grade Mid Tier)
Note : A Earth grade treasure that can deflect attacks from Mid Soul Transformation Realm Cultivators. It can also absorb Qi from attacks to add more power to users attack as well as helping to cushion user's fall from height. It also increases recovery speed ]
It was certainly a great treasures and a earth grade on top of that. Earth grade treasure is greater than both mortal and profound grade treasures. These clothes were definitely unique as some heaven grade treasures wouldn't be as versatile as these clothes. It was expected as this was from the almighty system.
I tried my new clothes and holy shit I look gorgeous. The color of these clothes match with my black hair and azure eyes. The golden dragon imprints are the cherry on the top making me seem like a young master from a great family. Indeed fitting clothes for this young master.
" Rwarrrrrrrrr". What was that ? I could listen a roar of a beast. I could feel the beast approaching nearby. Then I saw it. I couldn't tell what I felt now. Myriad of emotions were flowing through me like suprise, anger but one emotion dominated my mind and body at this moment , Fear. I saw the beast. It was 12 feet tall with a appearance of a tiger only multiple times fiercer. The beast had huge claws and teeth which looked like a sabertooth tiger. But that thing had scales of bones that came out of his skin. I couldn't process anything but I searched in the deep ocean of knowledge that the previous Qin Tian had acquired to find the information about this monstrosity.
Abyssal Sabertooth born as a 1st grade spirit beast that would grow to peak 5th grade spirit beast at its adulthood. I was sure that the Abyssal Sabertooth, I saw was at the peak of its adulthood meaning it was comparable to peak Soul Transformation Realm cultivator. So basically I had no chance against
him. But I could defend his attacks but barely with my clothes. I think it's time to try out.
The Abyssal Sabertooth jumped towards me using his claws which were coated in Qi. It was so fast that a peak Body Refining Cultivator like me couldn't even see it's shadow. " AHH, Damn it , I could see the claw marks in my clothes that were little torn.
I was wounded but my regeneration kicked in. One of the many features of the Celestial Saint Bloodline that this body was a great regeneration ability. I could see the wound fading. But I guess the Abyssal Sabertooth didn't liked that as it used another attack. "Oh shit" , I think that these will be my last world. I followed my instinct and I fucking dodged that attack. I don't even know if it is heavnly luck or straight up plot armour.
Looks like the Abyssal Sabertooth was also consumed. I took advantage of the moment and grabbed some dirt in my hands. " I am gonna put some dirt in your eyes"
Damn it, It's a serious fight and I am making jokes here. Looks like my trick worked. I just followed what was in my minds without any prior thinking. I was just following my inate survival instincts even though I knew that big cat was going to kill me.
The Abyssal Sabertooth was suddenly before me and he pinned me towards the ground. It was very painful.
" Good, Good as a puny human, you made me very irritated. I will have a fun time eating you.", the Abyssal Sabertooth tiger spoke. I was shocked but I knew that spirit beasts starting from 5th grade could talk.
System help me please I am going to die. I will do everything you want .
[ Ding , System can't change it's own rules. Sorry host]
" No, No system I will do anything please please ", I pleaded but I got no response. Damnit I will be dying here. Just 1 week of reincarnating and I am already at death's door. I really undersestimated the brutality of cultivation world. If by any chance, I could survive I would really be cautious and serious.
I looked up towards the Abyssal Sabertooth and I could see it giving a terrifying smile. " This king will torture you well before killing you. Enjoy this human", the Abyssal Sabertooth talked to me. It used it's claws to tear my chest . Aggh , its painful. I could see the claws slowly making deep cuts in my sling tearing my clothes defenses. He stopped midway. I wonder why he did this ?
No, no It can't be right . He is using my regeneration against me . I didn't even do much to him.
This sadistic bastard.
" Looking at your eyes, I think you have figured out my plan human. That's right I will torture you again and again using your regeneration against you. Honestly your regeneration is even stronger than me. You must have a powerful bloodline to have regeneration stronger than a 5th grade spirit beast while only being peak Body Refining Realm. By devouring you I can finally ascend to the 6th grade. Today is really my lucky day" The Abyssal Sabertooth laughed.
My regeneration kicked in and after the wound was gone the Abyssal Sabertooth again pierced his claws deep in my skin. His claws pierced my intestine. I want to hold on but the pain, the pain is very great. That bastard is trying to destroy my will. This bastard can't destroy my will.
10 minutes laterrrr.....
" Please , forgive me . I beg you ,stoooppp this . " AHH this is painful. " Haha, cry cry puny human . This is a great entertainment for me." The big cat said.
3rd person PoV
"Let me die. Please please let me die. I don't want to live here. Send me to earth. I will never even think about transmigrating and will never read novels. Please forgive me . Release me" Qin Tian howled with all his might. His breath was getting shorter. The beads of sweat were all around his body. Blood had covered Qin Tian's luxurious clothes. His bright azure eyes were now dull without a will. The excitement that was first found within the eyes of Qin Tian was no more. The fire for adventure in this new world was extinguished in Qin Tian's heart. After some time the pain filled voice of Qin Tian died but the maniacal laughter of the Abyssal Sabertooth was still echoing around the Blackwood Forest.
[ Ding ; Host's life is in danger. A Higher Being's intervention on the system was detected. Using emergency protocol]
As the Abyssal Sabertooth was having fun torturing Qin Tian, Qin Tian body glew with a blue shade. The wound all healed in an instant and a repulsive pulse followed with Qin Tian's body being the epicenter. The Abyssal Sabertooth was thrown back about 59 feet away from Qin Tian . Qin Tian was unconscious and it looked like something had possessed him.
" What, how did that..?" Before the Abyssal Sabertooth could complete the sentence the Sabertooth was blasted away by a blue Qi beam shot by Qin Tian. Qin Tian used a blue slash to totally kill the Abyssal Sabertooth. The Sabertooth's body had been cut and there was a blue jade inside him along side a much bigger ball of qi that looked like a beast core. Qin Tian took the beast core and put it in his space ring while consuming the blue jade.
You could see the blue shade fading out of Qin Tian's body and Qin Tian being unconscious in the ground. But the surprising thing was all of Qin Tian's wound and clothes were fixed without a speck of dust on them.
" Hey, Uncle Zhao there seems to be a person sleeping there. I think we should take him with." A cute voice could be heard originating near Qin Tian's body.
