Chapter 532 Secluded Bamboo (1/2)

Before Wuding was here, Wen Zhong told him one thing, ”Strength and state can't reflect how powerful one is.”

Some people's strength far exceeded the limitation of state. Wen Zhong hoped Wuding could be one of them.

Hence, his mana was sealed as he came to the dangerous Lake East.

Three more days until his battle with Lei Jing. Three days were sufficient for many things to happen.

After Wuding lost his mana, he then realized how weak he was. The water surface was calm, but beneath it was tempestuous.

The undercurrent was constantly distorting Wuding's form. This was not the scary part. The scary part was the man-eating sea mammals in the undercurrent.

Wuding was not able to rely on Flying Star Incantation but only his wooden knife and his astonishing spiritual sense.

Without mana, he found it difficult to make use of the knife technique which could separate water and he could no longer make use of the formation of the ever alive knife domain.

He was more powerful than a commoner but his strength was significantly less than the sea mammals in the undercurrent.

At a distance away from where the sky and water were connected, there appeared a water wall which was extremely tall. In front of the water wall, Wuding looked minuscule.

Wuding held on to his knife tightly until the water wall was coming towards him ferociously. His body flipped and the enormous power shook his bones all over as if he was about to be shattered.

While Qi cultivator's body was not as strong as the Xia Clan, it was way better than a commoner. However, in the face of nature's tremendous power, it was nothing.

Wuding was cast to the sky, and he swung out his knife as he fell painfully back into the water.

The knife made use of the momentum of falling perfectly as it landed on the highest point of the water wall. The water wall was split into two and it revealed a bare, black back. It was the back of a sea mammal. It was extremely smooth and had a surface area of more than three hundred feet.

The back curled up quickly, and the fish head was revealed. It was showing its gleaming sharp teeth and the gigantic mouth which seemed to have no end. In the face of danger, Wuding did not hesitate to attack with his knife. The wooden knife was plain and unassuming. It carried along the sound of air resistance as he hit towards the fish head.

At such a high speed, Wuding could not 'see' the fish head. In replacement. What he could see clearly was a gigantic three-dimensional image with lots of piping and gushing blood, and also the gaps in between.

The structure of the fish head was as clear as day to him. He knew which part of it was the weakest, and he could even control the exact strength he needed to use and the subsequent reaction of the sea mammal.

With one hit, the fish head was split open without resistance. The red blood splashed around and stained Wuding's chest. They were soon washed away by the water.

The real challenge was just about to begin. Because of the blood of the sea mammal, more and more sea mammals were approaching Wuding. He still needed to be here for three days until the battle began.

Wuding was going through hellish training in order to achieve the top knife technique.

At the same time, Lei Jing was much more relaxed.

After she was done with summoning wind and rain, she felt dreamy, like a drizzle, which was beautiful but none could really see clearly in it. It gave people rooms to imagine but at the time could not get the true meaning of it. It was like being above the clouds.

Lei Jing was at Xia palace where next to it was too a lake, Lake Jade. She did not come here voluntarily but Emperor Xia made her. People said that the water of Lake Jade was from the heaven. While it was an exaggeration but in reality, the lake was full of spiritual opportunity which exceeded even that of Xia Canal. Furthermore, the water was calm and hence it was extremely suitable for cultivators who were pursuing the Dao of water element to absorb the Qi of vitality of heaven and earth.

Lei Jing did not go to the mid-lake pavilion where the spiritual opportunity was the highest, but instead, she was sitting by a white bay. There were willows behind her. It was a beautiful scene, but it was not as beautiful as her.

She liked to stay at such a place where it was tranquil and peaceful, where nobody would be around.

This was not who she used to be. It seemed that she was influenced by someone, hence the changes.

She did not feel there was anything bad about it as she enjoyed the present.

Tranquillity was after all, hard to maintain. She heard someone coming.

It was not that she heard footsteps but that she had a feeling that someone was here. In reality, the visitor had no sound, it was the High Priest.

He took off the green copper mask he usually wore. His beauty exceeded even that of Lei Jing. He was carrying a zither as he walked towards her like a ghost.
