Chapter 135: Descending From the Mountains! (1/2)

Meng Long quickly scaled down the mountain along with a few guards of the Wang Family Residence. On the other hand, Shen Hai had returned back to the Wang Family Residence to call a few more men over.

Even though his two capable aides had left, leaving him with just a bunch of workers, Wang Chong wasn’t worried in the least. With Li Zhuxin and the newly accepted assassin, Miyasame Ayaka, beside him, there was no need for Wang Chong to worry about any danger.

Regarding Miyasame Ayaka, Wang Chong hadn’t fully trusted her yet, and thus, he only told her a portion of the sutra for resolving the flaws of Spectre Steps.

This incomplete sutra couldn’t make up for the weakness of the Spectre Steps, but it could lighten the damage it had already caused on Miyasame Ayaka’s physical body.

The latter should notice it as soon as she starts cultivating it.

Wang Chong continued to train on his Single Character Consecutive Slash until he had mastered the technique. After which, he started working on Dragon Bone Art once more.

Under the nourishment of the spirit vein, Wang Chong’s progress in the Dragon Bone Art increased swiftly.

Under the effects of the Dragon Bone Art, the bones across Wang Chong’s entire body grew smoother, more durable, compact, and resilient.

This was the effect of the Tiger Bone.

The more powerful one’s bones were, the greater one’s stamina!

The cheetah might run out of strength in just hundred meters, but a tiger could continue pursuing its target ceaselessly.

This was what Wang Chong felt now. The growth of his strength wasn’t apparent cultivating the Dragon Bone Art—it was far from matching up to Might of the Barbaric God—but Wang Chong could sense that something deeper, his stamina and endurance, were gradually improving!

Around half a month later.

Weng!

A mysterious sensation suddenly diffused from the depths of Wang Chong’s body and he jolted. Under the nourishment of the spirit vein, he finally broke through his limit and reached Tiger Bone 2-dan.

A new surge of strength sprouted in his body, and he could feel the bones throughout his body forming one compact and powerful system. It felt as though he could wield explosive strength from any single part of his body anytime he wished.

“So this is Tiger Bone 2-dan!”

Wang Chong opened his eyes and he felt as though his vision had grown much sharper. In the past, he could only see two to three peaks in the distance, but now, five to six peaks appeared in sharp clarity before him.

Furthermore, by focusing, Wang Chong could hear many sounds he had missed out in the past. The effective radius of his hearing had also expanded.

In the distance, a deer atop a boulder pricked its ears as it listened warily to the surroundings. A few birds chirping merrily took off from their nest.

All of these, Wang Chong could hear clearly.

“Upon reaching a certain level of mastery in the Tiger Bone, a martial artist’s sight, hearing, smell, and the other various senses would indeed be heightened!”

Seated on the empty ground, a thought flashed across Wang Chong’s head.

The benefit of this breakthrough wasn’t just limited to his strength. He felt revitalized, as though he had reborn.

But of course, this was a just a feeling. It was impossible to tell from the outside.

“Master!”

Suddenly, a voice sounded. Wang Chong turned around and saw Miyasame Ayaka looking at him with bright eyes. She was still dressed in a tight black suit, and her face was veiled with a black cloth. It seemed like she was already used to this getup.

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Chong asked.

“Master, I’ve some things that I need to tell you.”

Miyasame Ayaka looked troubled, as though there were many worries plaguing her mind.

“Oh?”

Wang Chong’s interest was piqued. It had been many days since the other party had submitted to him, but it was her first time taking the initiative to talk to him.

“Do you remember me telling you that we, assassins, have an organization?”

“Un, what’s wrong?”

Wang Chong asked curiously.

“This organization is known as Assassin Pavilion. Spectre Steps was taught to me by the Pavilion Master of the Assassin Pavilion. Given that I have betrayed him, he would definitely utilize all means to kill me. On top of that, since the mission isn’t accomplished yet, he’ll definitely find more people to hunt you down. In fact, he might even make a move himself.”

“The Assassin Pavilion doesn’t allow any failures.”

Miyasame Ayaka said worriedly.

“Oh, is he formidable?”

Wang Chong smiled casually.

“Very formidable!”

Miyasame Ayaka answered seriously.

“Even more so than Mister Li?”

Wang Chong gestured to Li Zhuxin, who was standing in the distance.

“Mister Li is not bad, but I’m afraid he isn’t a match for our Pavilion Master.”

Miyasame Ayaka’s answer took Wang Chong by surprise. In an instant, Wang Chong’s smile disappeared, replaced by grimness.

Even Li Zhuxin also couldn’t help but turn over.

Wang Chong knew how powerful Li Zhuxin was, and Miyasame Ayaka had experienced his strength for herself as well. Yet, she said that the Pavilion Master was stronger than him.

Wang Chong finally felt the severity of the matter

If that Pavilion Master was that strong, then he must be at the pinnacle of True Martial realm, perhaps even reaching Profound Martial Realm.

If that was the case, then this matter had to be dealt with carefully.

“However, even though the Pavilion Master is powerful, he rarely makes a move himself. Besides, the rules of the Assassin Pavilion is very much different from other places. Before confirming my whereabouts and my present condition, they won’t abruptly send anyone after you. Thus, I will try my best to stay hidden during this period of time. However, master, you must remain careful as well! The Pavilion Master of the Assassin Pavilion is truly fearsome!”

Miyasame Ayaka spoke with an extremely grim tone, as though Wang Chong life was like a candle flame which could be possibly extinguished at any moment. Wang Chong couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Master, what are you laughing for?!”

Miyasame Ayaka suddenly felt a little infuriated, “I am being serious here!”

“I know.”

Even so, Wang Chong still couldn’t help but smile.

“You said that before they confirm your present condition, they won’t make a move easily, right?”
