75 Breakthrough (2/2)
”Kacha! Kacha!”
As the Flower Fox Ferret grew more worried, two clear sounds came from Fang Yuan.
He opened his eyes and became composed.
”I have completed!”
Fang Yuan was satisfied as he could feel a constant flow of inner force around his body.
”Bang!”
At that moment, the Yin Yang Jade which he was carrying in his hands became into a pile of white ash.
Fang Yuan remained silent upon seeing this.
This unique treasure was not able to endure his doings and became a pile of ash.
”Even though this jade did not have Yin and Yang, it was still a unique treasure….To other sects, this treasure would probably mean nothing to them as they didn't know about this trick, but it was not worth for the jade to...”
After all, one could use the Yin Yang Jade to make tremendous progress but it would still not be as fast as Fang Yuan's. Plus, the jade would not be destroyed when used in training.
Perhaps there could another chance in the near future to use it again for such purpose.
Even though he was reckless, he managed to exchange this piece of jade for progression. From the sect's perspective, this exchange would not be worth it, but to Fang Yuan, it was.
Fang Yuan clapped his hands and went to a peony tree while ignoring the Flower Fox Ferret's stare.
His eyes focused and he transferred his inner force to his fingers and then to a nearby plant.
”Whiz!”
There was a light sound in the air as the peony tree trembled a little. Its leaves gradually fell.
In actual fact, Fang Yuan's fingers were still a distance away from the peony tree.
”Wu Zong allows one to release his elemental force to the surroundings and it is magical! I have not achieved Wu Zong yet but with the Miniature Elemental Force, I am able to achieve a slight part of the skill…..”
Next, Fang Yuan's limbs moved without his control and he shook his head. ”I have gained too much energy and my physical and mental body have not gotten used to it....”
He looked at his stats window:
”Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 8.0
Spirit: 7.9
Magic: 4.0
Age: 19
Cultivation: [Martial Artist (11th Gate)]
Technique: [Black Sand Palm (Grade 5), [Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique (Grade 11)]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 3)]”
”[Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique (Grade 11)]; At this stage, one will be difficult to be dealt with as one will not be injured easily with the concentration of one's elemental force!”
”Energy…...This amount of energy is strong enough!”
Fang Yuan clenched his fists and could feel the immense power inside his body. He could not wait to find another expert to duel with.
If both Elder Yan and Elder Han attacked him together now, he would not be afraid.
In the entire Spirit Returning Sect, he only feared Shi Yutong.
”What would be the outcome if I fight against a Wu Zong now?”
Fang Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the day when he saw the duel between Wu Zong and the spiritual knight. There was a fast transfer of magical energy and when Fang Yuan recalled this scene, he shook his head.
”Not yet! I would probably end up escaping if I were to fight against them now. Of course….. if I considered the spiritual beasts I have and geographical location in my favour, I would still have the possibility of escaping!”
He must survive in order to be able to make his next move. Fang Yuan clearly knew this logic.
He was relieved at the result.
His skills had reached such a high level and he would have the ability to defend himself. Even if all the spiritual objects in the secluded valley had been discovered, he was confident in continuing what he used to do.
...
After the breakthrough, Fang Yuan was in a good mood and he went for a shower happily. He then changed into a new set of clothes and was about to make some tea when a noise came from outside.
”This is Zhou Wenwu, I am here to see Master Fang Yuan!”
Zhou Wenwu sounded shocked but Fang Yuan did not show any concern for it.
Ever since the Spirit Returning Sect was raided by a mysterious person, the Martial Arts Court had been burnt and the sect lost a few elders during the battle. Lady Yan was also missing and no one knew whether she was dead or alive. Qinghe County was in a chaos after the news of the Spirit Returning Sect being raided started to spread.
The most mainstream way of looking at things was that the raid was done by an expert from the Five Ghosts Sect as a form of seeking revenge.
Nobody linked the raid to Fang Yuan, who was living in the secluded valley and had been taking care of Elder Han's illness.
Everybody was panicking and Zhou Wenwu came to ask for help constantly. It was obvious that he was seeking for protection and to prove his loyalty for Fang Yuan, he would expose all kinds of secrets of the Spirit Returning Sect.
For example, Fang Yuan knew that ever since the raid, the Spirit Returning Sect recalled all the elders and disciples from all their controlled territories and was willing to give up some of the territories, hoping that the sect would get away from such incidents in future.
Lu Zhisen, who was in Qingye City, was ordered to return to the sect as soon as possible.
However, Elder Han chose to stay behind and no one knew the actual reason why he chose to stay behind. He claimed that he was seriously injured and with his current injuries, he would be useless anyway if he were to return to the sect to help. Fang Yuan guessed that this old man was probably too afraid to die now and would only go out for battle when he had fully recovered.
He was happy now and without the contributions of the two elders, he would not have been able to improve that fast.
