14 Low Success (1/2)

Chapter 13: Low Success

Van's sudden and erratic decision was because of his sudden enlightenment. He finally had a way to break through the bottlenecked!

He sat down on the wet green grass and started to take a few deep breaths. After he finished, he stood up and got into a balanced stance.

Hmph! Crreeaak!

Van let out a strong punch with his right fist, causing noticeable spacial fluctuations that could be detected by weaker cultivators.

Van was jumping up and down like a little kid with his new toy. He could feel the barrier to low success be on the verge of breaking.

He continued to practice the Void Fist for another 2 hours before collapsing in exhaustion.

He had a smile in his face as he lay on his back, watching the night sky as the rays of moonlight shone on the pond, creating a majestic glistening effect.

”I finally did it! I reached low success!”

The last punch he did had twisted the fabric of space, marking the stage of low success.

Medium success would require him to bend space in a way that locked down his target. Right now, he lacked the skill to bend the space around his target's body but could make his fist as domineering as an impenetrable fortress.

He heard splashing down the river as he lay on the grass. His constant training had caused his senses to become more perceptive, allowing him to hear the splashing only now.

Out of innocent curiosity, he followed the stream to the source of the noise. Alas, he found someone, with fox ears, bathing in the river, humming an entrancing tune. He was dumbstruck as he watched girl turn around and notice him, exposing the rest of her body.

”Eeek! Elder Yi and Elder Zhao! Someone's here!”

”Wait! I can explain!”

Without waiting for an explanation, as any person in a rational state of mind would, the girl jumped straight into self-defense mode and threw a five-colored flame at his feet. Before the flame could explode and give him third-degree burns, Van jumped back and pulled out the Divine Jade Dragon saber out.

The flames burst on the ground and quickly burned his clothes off. Van jumped at the girl, quickly trying to subdue her so he could give an explanation.

All of a sudden, a wind whipped up and blew Van into a nearby tree. The tree snapped in half and Van continued to fly through 3 more trees before making an indent in the fourth tree.

Elder Yi was surprised to see this surprisingly strong youth in the middle of nowhere. Elder Yi had a cultivation base at the Early Emperor rank and his casual punch could wound even those in the Early Stages of Inner Discovery.

Van stood up wincing as he analyzed his injuries. His face filled with despair as found 5 broken ribs and a displaced elbow on his left arms. Van took his right arm and snapped the elbow back into place before chewing on a few medicinal plants, his face grim.

Elder Zhao appeared behind Elder Yi before launching to attack Van. Van grit his teeth preparing to attack with the last of his strength when a Golden net entangled Elder Zhao and threw him in the water.
