51 Chapter 50: Heading to the third maze! (1/2)
The old man's face right now couldn't be described any better than using the expression of similar to that of a puffer fish.
Bloody hell! So you can clear away the tribulations with a single punch of yours eh?
I had flown over an ocean of wrathful thunders as if I had killed their entire family just to pull you away from your predicament. Not only that, I had even spatted out a few mouthful of blood and my body was now riddled with numerous injuries just to save you!
To think that you could non-chalantly blew the whole clouds apart with a single punch after waking up, aren't you way too domineering now?
What about my valiant act? What about the blood that I had spilled? Was that all for naught?!
His face had turned crimson red like the lake below him in embarrassment and agitation.
Just as he was about to shout at Duan Li in a rage to vent up his frustrations, the latter closed their eyes while plummeting from the air, becoming unconscious once more.
”Eh? Wait up brat!” the old man immediately bolted forward to catch Duan Li from his fall. Otherwise, if the other party were to fall back into the lake, who knows what sort of mind-boggling phenomena would ensued next.
The old man then landed on the ground besides the lake with Duan Li at tow. Just as he was about to laid Duan Li gently on the ground, he remembered the previous matter. Thus, he snorted angrily as he threw the latter to the ground.
Thud!
Hmph! That's what you get for messing around with me!
”This human... that level of power he just displayed in his punch... that's no power of a first level of the Foundation establishment realm...” said the mother wolf apprehensively.
Hearing this, the old man nodded ”That's right. In fact, that level of power had even surpasses of what we can do at the first shackle. Furthermore, right before the punch, this brat had spoken something which I didn't heard clearly, with a voice that doesn't seem to belong to him.”
They both then went silent as they pondered on what to do after this.
...
After a while...
”Urghh..”
Duan Li's body twitched as he slowly opened his eyes. He felt pain all over aching through his body.
”What... happened...?” he said slowly while clutching at his head.
”That is what we wanted to know. What happened to you in that lake? How were you able to have such a physical body and ascended to the Foundation establishment realm in one go?” asked the old man with an annoyed look to him.
You asked us what happened? For all we know, the chaos was started by you! But we doubt that you would remember anything since you fainted!
”My physical body? Foundation establishment realm?” Duan Li was quite puzzled with what they just said. He slowly stood up as he pressed his weight onto the ground with his right foot.
Crack!
”Eh??” he exclaimed in a shock.
He never thought that he could make a dent on the ground by just pressing his foot slightly!
Was I always this strong?
”You better be careful to not kill anything accidentally after this brat. Your physical body right now is on par with a pinnacle Foundation establishment realm! It would be hard for you to control your strength as you leaped so suddenly and might take a while to adjust yourself to your newfound strength.” explained the old man with an unfazed reaction.
Hearing this, Duan Li was quite thrilled! To think that his physical body tempering right now had advanced so much! If he cultivate right now, would he be able to reach the pinnacle straight away?
At the thought of this, Duan Li was quite tempted to cultivate immediately. But, looking at their solemn faces at the moment, he could only push his thoughts aside as he prepared himself to explain.
”It's actually like this...”
Duan Li began explaining to them that when he reached the bottom of the lake, he heard a calling from an old man with an ancient robe. Unable to resist the calling, he approached the old man as the latter suddenly tapped at his forehead and a surge of spiritual Qi entered his body as well as being assaulted with terrible pain.
He then told them that he fainted shortly after, and when he came to, he was already there on the ground between them, not knowing anything that had transpired when he fell unconscious before.
