Chapter 28: The Chaotic Surge
In the heart of the Sky Forest, Denny Cing confronted a formidable foe, the FX Man Bear. This mighty creature wielded crimson flames and stood as a 2nd level Sky realm adversary, a level above the Red Gore wolf he had previously defeated. The battle was a severe test for Denny Cing, who found himself at a distinct disadvantage against this fierce opponent.
Their duel was a spectacle of martial prowess, with Denny Cing unleashing his powerful martial arts technique known as the Bull Roar. This technique was a blend of physical and soul-based attacks, meticulously harnessing the energies of heaven and earth to deliver devastating blows. It was a demonstration of profound martial skill and precise control over the forces of nature.
The fight was a dynamic exchange of power and tactics, with the bear's crimson flames scorching the air and creating an infernal battleground. Denny Cing's Bull Roar technique allowed him to exploit the might of his attacks to their fullest extent. He deftly weaved between offensive strikes and defensive maneuvers, showcasing his mastery over the art.
Yet, amidst the intensity of the battle, an extraordinary event transpired. A chaotic energy surged forth from Denny Cing's being, causing his aura to skyrocket higher and higher as the confrontation raged on. This mysterious and potent energy elevated his abilities, infusing him with newfound strength and resolve. Bolstered by this enigmatic force, he pressed forward with unwavering determination, committed to overcoming the formidable adversary before him.
The battle reached its climax, marked by fierce exchanges and a relentless struggle for supremacy. Denny Cing's resilience and newfound power allowed him to endure the bear's relentless onslaught. Finally, with a powerful strike guided by the Bull Roar technique, he emerged victorious, though not without sustaining significant wounds. To his astonishment, the chaotic energy he had harnessed during the battle facilitated the rapid healing of his injuries, a phenomenon he couldn't fully comprehend.
Throughout the entire battle, a small and enigmatic observer had witnessed their every move. It was a diminutive gray cat, adorned with a tiny, blood-like crystal on its chest. The cat approached Denny Cing, seemingly drawn to him. Denny Cing couldn't help but be captivated by the cat's unique presence, sensing an energy level within it that belonged to the Law realm. Its eyes held a mesmerizing blend of wisdom and innocence.
Denny Cing welcomed the cat as a newfound companion, affectionately naming it Gray, and gently placed it on his shoulder. Gray then signaled for him to follow, leading the way into a concealed cave. Deep within the cave, Gray retrieved three precious Jade Sky Essence Fruits, a discovery that left Denny Cing both surprised and elated. He understood the immense value of these fruits, realizing that they possessed the power to fortify one's body and accelerate cultivation.
However, their newfound treasures did not go unnoticed. As Jiang Meijer and her team, including the sinister Gu Chang, caught sight of the Janku cat resting on Denny Cing's shoulder and the valuable fruits he held, they voiced their disdain for him. Gu Chang, in particular, taunted Denny Cing due to his lower cultivation level, demanding that he surrender the fruits.
Aware of the precarious situation and intent on keeping his true abilities concealed before the Grand Competition, Denny Cing made a quick decision. Instead of engaging in combat, he chose to employ his remarkable speed to escape, leaving the infuriated group in his wake as they struggled to keep up.
As Denny Cing dashed deeper into the forest with Gray perched on his shoulder, he couldn't help but notice the cat's puzzled expression. It seemed to wonder why he had opted for flight instead of confronting their pursuers. Meeting Gray's curious gaze, Denny Cing offered an explanation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining his hidden strength as he prepared for the imminent competition.
