Chapter 21 - Now Im a Real Clown (2/2)
It had been two days since he started to practice with his human body, by now he wasn't entirely naked anymore, but the reason for that has nothing to do with being embarrassed, its just that every time he moved his third leg would be jumping around and that really bothered him, so he made something to hold it, that was all.
'I should be able to do battle now, I have to be able to do that with my human body, although it is inconvenient with my fighting style, it shouldn't be a problem as long as I can get used to use my wind movement.'
Krune told Lakin that he would go out to practice for a while and then left, he decided that there is no point in looking for Qi Condensation demon beasts anymore so he went further into the forest.
He spread his Divise Sense to the max range, he was curious too know how far it would reach after his soul had been tempered even further by the tribulation lightning, turns out that now he can see everything in a 5300 meters radius, this is just inconceivable! Such range could only be done by late stages Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Krune decided to use it every few minutes, he can't keep it activated all the time because it spends a lot of spiritual energy, some time later he finally found a Foundation Establishment demon beast, a Three Horned Buffalo at the 2nd stage.
”This is perfect, let's see if he can feel my Divine Sense.”
Krune kept using it, passing through the buffalo several times, but the buffalo had no reaction, it couldn't feel Krune's Divine Sense at all!
”As I thought, my Divine Sense is several times stronger than any other beast at my level, so they really can't feel it, I guess only a demon beast of the 4th or maybe 5th stage of the Foundation Establishment would be able to feel my Divine Sense, but even if they do, they will not be able to tell where I am, the range of my Divine Sense is much bigger than them, this will help me to keep my safety, let's try to challenge this Demon Buffalo.”
Although Krune's divine sense is as powerful as late stage cultivators, his battle prowess is definitely not that great, but with his universe foundation, he is definitely stronger than ordinary 3rd stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and should have no problem in put a head on fight against 4th stage ones.
The reason he decided to challenge this demon buffalo is because he is in his human form, he needs practice to get used to it, so, to be safe, he won't try to be cocky.
Krune got close to the spiritual vein that the buffalo was overseeing, he then purposely lessened the power of his Divine Sense so that the buffalo could perceive him, sure enough, when the buffalo noticed that Divine Sense, it spread out his own and soon found Krune outside his lair, it went outside to check what he wanted.
”What do you want? This is my Spiritual Vein, if you want to take it you won't have a good time.”
The buffalo looked at Krune, although Krune was using his human form, the buffalo could tell that he isn't a human because of Krune's spiritual energy, real humans have a different type of spiritual energy once they converted it to be used.
Krune just looked at him and smiled.
”I don't need your spiritual vein, but I want all the spirit stones in it.”
The buffalo got angry, a puny 1st stage Foundation Establishment demon beast want to take his spirit stones away, if he let that guy do as he wish he might as well leave this place forever.
”I will only say this once, get the fu*k out right now before I lose my patience.”
Krune just kept smiling
”Then I think I have no other choice, I will have to take your spirit stones by force.”
The demon buffalo didn't say anything anymore, it immediately charge at krune at full speed.
Krune was already expecting it, he activated his wind element movement and got out of the way, at the same time he was about to use ten wind blades, but then he tripped again and rolled a few times, the buffalo was surprised at first when he saw Krune dodging his charge, his charge isn't something like simply running ahead, with the use of his Divine Sense he could lock into Krune and make adjustments if Krune tried to move away, but in the end Krune still dodged.
But it never thought that after such an amazing speed it tripped and rolled away, when he saw krune getting up he could see quite a few bruises on him.
Krune gave a bitter smile, when he prepared to use his wind blades he didn't pay attention where he was walking on anymore, that was to be expected, he is a wisp, he was supposed to be floating, so there wasn't supposed to be anything that could make him trip. But now he has legs, he doesn't float either, so it went without saying that he would definitely hit something on the ground.
'Good thing I challenged a low level demon beast, if it was someone at my combat power level, I might have got into trouble.'
The buffalo was only surprised a little, he then charge again, this time, while it was charging, it used an earth element skill to try to bind Krune's legs, Krune wasn't slow though, even if he is in his human body now, he still has his 360 degree vision and his Divine Sense, he noticed the changes on the ground and jumped away again, this time he paid attention where he was stepping and readied ten wind blades, as soon as the buffalo came at him, he threw them out, Krunes spiritual energy is much stronger now, even if he doesn't use his blazing wind blades, the normal wind blades are very strong already.
The wind blades hit the buffalo, leaving behind quite a few cuts, but the buffalo is a strength type beast, it has high defense levels, it ignored the pain and kept charging at Krune, now and then it would use its earth element attacks to try to bind, block or attack Krune, It is a Foundation Establishment beast after all, it has a lot more spiritual energy Qi Condensation ones. But Krune was too fast, the buffalo couldn't understand how a 1st stage Foundation Establishment could be so much faster than him. Not to mention, those wind blades are really annoying, some times that guy would also use earth element attacks just like him, now and then an earth wall would block his way, or some earth spike would shot from his side, fortunately, the buffalo is an earth element user too, so it was very sensitive to the changes of earth around allowing it to defend or dodge the attacks.
Time passed by, after twenty minutes of fight, the buffalo was finally out of spiritual energy, not to mention the hundreds of cuts, big and small all over his body.
It finally gave up and shouted back through his Divine Sense.
”Alright! Alright! You can take the spirit stones, I can't beat you, it's your win.”
Krune smiled at him again
”That's very sensitive of you, then I won't be polite.”
Krune took all the spirit stones in the spiritual vein and then left, he didn't come here to kill anyone. Although he doesn't mind to kill when necessary, the fact is that he doesn't like it, so as long as there isn't a need for that, he won't be taking lives, things like provocation and benefits are far from being enough to force his hand.
After Krune got far way from the buffalo lair, he sat down and cultivated in order to recover, through the use of his spiritual energy, the injuries on his body started to heal at fast pace, he might have a corporeal body now, but it had taken form using his spiritual energy as base after all. While he was recovering, Krune started to ponder about his battle with the Three Horned Buffalo.
'As expected, an human body is too inconvenient, although it has a higher level of defense compared with my wisp body, I can't move freely at all, I tripped quite a few times too, I also have to pay attention to my own limbs movements while using my skills, but I have no choice, unless I get in a life or death situation, I can not show my real form as a wisp to anyone outside, so I need to get used to it.'
Time passed by, Krune had been out for a week already.
