Chapter 55 - Any Means Necessary (2/2)

Yan Zaizen's eyes dimmed. This person was obviously not committing suicide but was pushed. He recalled how the woman attempted to steal another's spatial box, and a chill went down his spine. He calmed himself down and made a vow to never give up his will to struggle and always to remain vigilant.

He started contemplating his options. He couldn't use his soul cultivation due to its current state of change, his qi cultivation would be impossible with these cuffs on, which only leaves his body cultivation. Initially, he didn't practice the Immortal Herculean Method due to believing that his soul cultivation would return quickly, and then he could take his leave. However, it seems that thought was unrealistic. If he stagnated in this place waiting for some semblance of hope in his soul cultivation, it would be unlikely for him to be able to make it, as well as unwise in the long run.

In this world, one must struggle for every ounce of light they can obtain in their grasp. He looked towards Tao. This man may seem a little cold, but he could tell that it was definitely due to his experience. He knew how the Deep Mines were and what was required to survive. After all, he needed to survive ten years. Most of these people only needed to survive a few.

Deep Mines, Ninety-Nine:

Luckily for him, the Immortal Herculean Physique didn't require resources until one reached the second level of the physique, the Grand Herculean Physique. At that level, one would require an extraordinary amount of resources for progression, and even some very specific things. The first level only required him to reach his physical body's maximum potential by removings it limiters and modifying the body's internal structure into a Herculean Physique.

The saying that this physique can exceed the heavens didn't feel like an exaggeration to Yan Zaizen any longer. While he was in chaotic space being ripped apart, his Nascent Herculean Physique lasted longer in that environment than his soul energy. It was also only at the initial stage of success.

”I'm nearing the minor success.” He remarked, clenching his fist and feeling his body's new strength. He realized that changing his physique increased his base attributes, increased the levels of his vital energies and its recovery speed, as well as changed how he looked. Initially, his body was scrawny nearing unhealthy, after he reached the initial success, he gained some muscle and fat. This muscle and fat couldn't be dissipated as if in a perpetual state of existence by a strange form of law.

As for the situation in the mine, he could tell that the many women of the group were ignited by the others actions. Every now and then, they would use what they could offer to get more ore, and even extra ones from the men. There was even a competition as to who could obtain the most. The men and even some of the few boys who've just reached of age had indulged in this competition wholeheartedly.

Tao would sometimes even joke about Yan Zaizen taking part, but he refused each and every time. As for Tao, he simply laughed and didn't respond. This made Tao even more mysterious.

Deep Mines, Day One Hundred-Twelve:

The first incident of what seemed like an accidental death occurred today. Two of the women were arguing over something about their competition and lacking ore for the quota, one of them got too heated and sent a strike at another. Then, one thing led to another, and one of them was pushed off the cliff into the deep pit. When this happened, everyone was silent except for the person who screamed hellishly in indignation and fear as they fell. Yan Zaizen and Tao were too far to help, and could only watch.

”That wasn't accidental,” Tao said mysteriously. He looked at a spatial box in the corner and then continued eating his food.

Yan Zaizen was surprised, looking at the one who pushed the other off the cliff. Her eyes contained a well-concealed happiness as she headed towards a spatial box that obviously wasn't hers.

”By any means.” He whispered, returning back to his food.
