Feeling the power within him Shi Yanlin laughed out loudly. He never felt this powerful in his life. Even though he was older, he still felt better than when he was young.
Swoosh!
Kicking his legs he jumped up and to his surprise he was tens of meters high in the air.
"Hahaha..." With a loud laugh he fell down and landed perfectly on his face. However his laugh still reverberated in the area.
After standing up he clenched his fist and a determined expression appeared on his face. "Just wait for me, I will take my revenge." He said and thought about Shi Yong.
There was deep hatred in his eyes.
After some time he took in a deep breath and calmed down.
"I have to find some sort of civilization first." He thought and nodded.
Accumulating power inside his legs he was about to jump again, however he suddenly stopped and a frown appeared on his face.
"What is this? Why didn't I notice it previously?"
Closing his eyes he could feel that there was something above his dantian, it was sitting there silently without any movement and its multiple hands were covering his dantian from all sides.
"A jellyfish?" a confused expression appeared on his face.
He could feel that there was a jellyfish sitting atop his dantian and hundreds of tentacles emerging from it covering his dantian.
He sent his Qi to the jellyfish and suddenly one of its tentacles moved up. When it did so a tentacle also popped out of Shi Yanlin's back, it was blue in color and looked as if a snake was raising it's head out of its nest.
It didnt take time for Shi Yanlin to realize this and he opened his eyes.
And when he saw the tentacle a slightly shocked expression appeared on his face.
"I can control it without using any Qi." A frown appeared on his face. Although he couldn't cultivate before he was a martial arts maniac and had read many of the martial techniques.
And he knew fully well that forming a projection like this cost a huge amount of Qi and even for a Bone Forging realm expert it would be hard to maintain such projection for more than fifteen minute.
However here he was, he could not only control this tentacle freely, but he also didn't need to use any of his Qi. This was like a superpower to him.
A smile formed on his face as he felt that the tentacle was just like his hand and was easy to use.
'Let me see how long it can be stretched for?' Shi Yanling began to move his tentacle stretching it as far as he could, after about twenty meters he suddenly stopped.
"Hmm... So I can stretch it for twenty meters and after that it needs Qi for more." He thought and nodded. Twenty meters was already enough for him.
Retractig the tentacle to its original size which was two meters, he focused on the jellyfish again.
After fifteen minutes he had one more tentacle on his back, that he could control freely.
He has found out a few things about these tentacles.
First they were raised according to his cultivation realm. The higher his realm the more tentacles he could form.
Second the end of these tentacles could be turned razor sharp like a blade or pointed as a spear. They could change shapes but that needed Qi.
And last one being that these tentacles were strong, he has whipped one of the tentacles to a thick tree in the distance and it broke apart in two in just a single attack.
"Haha... This power is amazing!" He laughed out loud, he was ecastic by the fact that he was so powerful now.
When he was in Shi clan he always felt powerless and useless, he always wondered how it would feel to have some power, what would be the things he would do if he was powerful. That was all sort of things he daydreamed about.
And now those dreams of his might be coming true, that was the reason why he was so happy even though he has turned old.
Taking in a deep breath and moving back he looked at the water again for his reflection.
Although it was distorted by the constant waves. He could still see his sharp face. Although he looked old there was a lively glow in his eyes.
"I wonder if I would be able to get girls with this body?" He knew that there were techniques that could make someone's physical age stop from growing. However he was already old.
And he has also heard about medicines that could turn an old person young, however those sorts of medicine were rare and expensive. And they also had a negative effect of slowing one's cultivation.
He definitely wouldn't sacrifice his cultivation for looks.
Taking in a deep breath he looked back at the big trees in the distance, there was a huge wilderness in front of him.
His tentacles swayed and with a whip both of them stretched and gripped around two different trees.
Swish!
Suddenly the tentacles contracted and like a stone fired from a slingshot Shi Yanlin was hurled at the sky at high speed.
"Ahahaha...!" There was a giant smile on his face as he moved through the air.
After a few seconds he landed tens of miles away from his original position and in no time he was again flung back in the air with the help of his tentacles.
He wanted to find some sort of human civilization that he can settle in.
After traveling for hundreds of miles he suddenly stopped at a place and a frown appeared on his face.
Because in front of him was a big panther. It was at least five meters tall and had a red stripe going through its head.
It looked at Shi Yanlin menacingly, while also maintaining a distance, assessing the human prey.
Shi Yanlin took in a deep breath and his two tentacles swayed in air ready to attack at moments notice.
Rawr!
Suddenly the panther broke the stalemate and lunged towards Shi Yanlin while swiping it's claw towards him.
Shi Yanlin's heart skipped a beat at the rapid speed of the panther. He never thought that such a big thing would be so fast.
He could feel that if the claw landed on his body then he would definetily be slashed apart in two.
Gritting his teeth, he readied his body and one of his tentacle shot towards left, encircling a tree, and his other tentacle moved towards the panther it's tip turning into a sphear.
However just as the tentacle hit the panther's calw it was blown apart in seconds not even capable of slowing the approaching claw down.
Shi Yanlin's hair stood on the edge as he gulped his saliva in terror. The pather was too strong for him, he knew in an instant that no matter what he won't be able to defeat it. So the only option left was to run.
However the panther's speed was extremely fast, it was moving so fast that it was leaving after images behind.
Soon the claw came and almost touched Shi Yanlin's face, howveve before it could touch him, Shi Yanlin's body suddenly got flung left in the air.
It was his other tentcale that was wrapped around the tree on the left, it contracted at the critical moment and let Shi Yanlin escape death narrowly.
As he was flung by only a single tentacle his trajectory was a bit odd and he landed on his face a few miles ahead.
However he didnt waste any time and quickly stood up. His tentacles moved out again and wrapped around two new trees.
Swish!
He flew through the air again, this time at the highest speed he has ever achieved.
And the place he was standing just before was suddenly destroyed causing a dust cloud to appear and amidst the cloud the Big Panther was standing, looking at Shi Yanlin's flying body.
It started at him for a moment and when the pather saw the direction Shi Yanlin was flying to it stopped and turned around. Not intending to chase anymore.
Shi Yanlin landed again and didn't stop, he jumped at least ten more times. Getting hundered of miles away before he finally stopped and looked back.
He could finally sense that no-one was behind him. Taking in a deep breath he touched his nose and felt a warm liquid flowing out of it.
"Just the pressure of that claw cause me to nosebleed. I would have definitely died if that landed on me." He sighed in relief that he managed to escape that dangerous panther.
After looking around for a moment he found some more eyes locked on him, he could feel that they were also beasts. However he didnt feel any sort of danger form that.
'Maybe they are weaker than me.' He thought and nodded. That was the only reason he came to.
His tentacle moved again and he was in the air again.
After traveling for two days, he was resting on a giant rock and there were many bloody marks on his body. They were left behind by the beasts.
He managed to escape from all the strong beasts, but was not unscratched.
There was even a wound starting from his forehead to his cheeks, crossing his left eye. This wound was already somewhat healed and the scabs left behind gave him a wild look.
In front of him he could see a town in the distance, covered by giant walls all around. This town was even bigger than Shi City that his father owned.
