27 Destroying the Sec (1/2)
Seeing the state of Zhou Wenxin, Fang Yuan frowned, turned around, returned to the valley and continued to drink his tea.
With an unreasonable attitude like hers, she deserved to be put through hardship. The best would be for her to not be able to take it any longer and leave on her own accord.
What was there to pity about?
Fang Yuan would never feel sorry for her.
Within the valley, Fang Yuan chopped wood, started a fire, cooked some porridge and made tea. The aroma filled the air and even to the entrance of the valley. Zhou Wenxin sniffed the aroma and her stomach was growling.
She unknowingly walked to the entrance of the valley, but froze there, afraid to take another step.
Zhou Wenxin was unreasonable but not stupid. She knew that if she did not heed Fang Yuan's warning to not enter the valley, no one, even her father, would be able to save her.
Furthermore, she could remember when her bodyguards were attacked by the white flash when she came to confront Fang Yuan the previous time. How would she dare to disobey?
She could not ignore the aroma coming out from the valley and continued eating her dry rations.
In the valley.
Fang Yuan and the Flower Fox Ferret each held a small bowl and ate the Vermillion Jade Rice Porridge, and had no intention of helping Zhou Wenxin.
The spiritual rice was so valuable to the extent that Fang Yuan made porridge with it. Regardless human or ferret, both value the spiritual rice a lot and have no intention of sharing it.
”Even my Pearl Jade Crystal Rice is also no ordinary rice, and eating it would bring many benefits to the body...”
Fang Yuan thought for a while, and sighed, ”The spiritual tea is almost used up, and the Vermillion Jade Rice too... It has become painful for me to drink normal tea every morning, and if I run out of spiritual rice too, how can I survive?”
”Keke!”
The Flower Fox Ferret raised its little paws, as though it had the same sentiments.
”At the end of the day, the solution lies with the spiritual fertilizer!”
Fang Yuan looked at the Flower Fox Ferret, ”When I asked you to bring me there previously, you were unwilling, and see what happened? I am now a martial artist of [Cultivation Level (Grade 4)], and I believe my abilities should be able to bring us there safely?”
”Keke?!”
The Flower Fox Ferret licked the last grain of porridge from its bowl before it was willing to put the bowl down, and went to an empty spot.
”Oh? You want to spar with me?”
Fang Yuan became energetic and knew that the Flower Fox Ferret was unsure of how good he had become. They needed to spar to confirm.
”Come on!”
Since killing Song Yujie, Fang Yuan realised that combat experience was far more valuable than the usual practice, and therefore was enthusiastic in taking on the Flower Fox Ferret.
”Don't take it easy on me!”
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, and both his palms became pitch-black, with his veins protruding out like worms. Both of his forearms became far thicker than before.
'This is usually how my Inner Power circulates within me, and now it has even affected my physical form?'
The parts that were strengthened by the Black Sand Palm were the palms, forearms, chest, abdomen. As for his back, legs and head, the changes were minor.
He had no choice. The Black Sand Palm was a low-tier technique which did not focus on defence. Being able to strengthen his arms was good enough.
”Ssss!”
As for the Flower Fox Ferret, he felt a little scared, after seeing the transformation Fang Yuan went through.
Whoosh!
Using his paws, the Flower Fox Ferret pounced towards Fang Yuan in a white flash like a lightning.
”Chi! Chi!”
Its talons were sharp and quick, like a knife.
”Good, don't take it easy!”
Fang Yuan struck his palm out.
He only fought with the Flower Fox Ferret once, which was their first encounter under the moonlight. The Flower Fox Ferret was not as smart then, and Fang Yuan did not know martial arts back then.
Now, both of them have their own improvements, which made Fang Yuan excited and eager to find out the Flower Fox Ferret's true standard.
”Boundless Black Sand!”
His right palm became black and had a whiff of fragrance; it was mildly hypnotizing.
”Hissss!”
The Flower Fox Ferret did not dare to go head-on with Fang Yuan. It curled into a shape of a letter 'Z' and ingeniously avoided Fang Yuan's palm before curling behind Fang Yuan, attacking him from the back.
”Reverse Palm!”
Fang Yuan turned around and immediately struck out another palm, and the Flower Fox Ferret avoided it easily. However, there were fresh claw marks on Fang Yuan's arm now.
”Hmm? Aggressive in attack, but weak in defence!”
Seeing the Flower Fox Ferret, Fang Yuan came to a conclusion.
He focused on his arms and channelled energy to it. The small wound was nothing to him, as the muscles contracted and stopped the bleeding.
”Good! One more time!”
