Chapter 48 - Back To The Beast Territory (1/2)

When Jason heard the grand elder saying he needed results he couldn't help but shiver as his eye came in contact with the grand elder's eye.

'What could he be thinking now' thought Jason.

”Since you don't have anything doing right now, why don't you go home and recover the energy you have used since tomorrow is going to be a rough day for you” said the grand elder with a smile on his face.

”Thank you grand elder” replied Jason with a bow.

”It's nothing, here you can use it to heal those wounds of yours” said the grand elder as he passed three pills to Jason.

Jason greeted the grand elder once more before going inside the alchemy room to get the book of herbs as he took his leave.

After Austin and Jason had left the place, the grand elder couldn't help but chuckled as he said to himself.

”They still dare to lie to me, let's see if they would be able to find the horned leopard without getting attacked by the other beasts”.

After leaving the alchemy room, Jason and Austin didn't talk much before going their separate ways to avoid being heard by the grand elder. Getting home, Jason told his mother that he will be out training in the woods which she didn't disapprove of except for Hannah who was upset that she won't be seeing her big brother for a while.

”Don't worry I won't be staying in the woods for long okay” said Jason as he stroked her hair playfully.

”I know that is what you are going to say, don't you think you are overworking yourself” asks Hannah who was already on the verge of crying.

”If I don't work hard. Then we won't be able to survive staying here for long and let's not forget about our mother's condition” reply Jason.

”You have changed a lot big brother, ever since you won the tournament you no longer had the time to play me” said Hannah with a sad face.

”That was because I was busy. Okay I promise to spend more time with you when I am done with my training” replied Jason as he began to play with her hair.

”You promised” asked Hannah as she wiped the tears off her eyes.

”Yes I promise” replied Jason with a smile.

”Okay since you have already promised I will let you go this time” said Hannah happily.

After they were done for the day, they all went to bed and in the morning Jason began with cultivating heaven's law and now he was starting to feel the energy in the earth unlike when he started cultivating it. When he was done cultivating heaven's law, he went to practice the phantom kick and the iron fist and some basic fighting skills in the space within the bracelet.

Later when it was getting dark, Jason went into the woods as he headed to the stream where he began to search for Austin as he was unable to find him.

”I can't believe he is not here yet” said Jason in annoyance as he was not able to find Austin.
