34 Chapter 34 (1/2)
Shen Yue had spent the last few days training with his new demon spirits. With his upgraded eyesight thanks to his cat eyes perk, he was able to react fast enough to counter most of his training partners moves. Now that he could integrate with high-level demon spirits, he was able to counter most of the attacks directed at him with ease.

Without any prior fighting experience, Shen Yue had been using his time in the spacial realm to improve his combat experience. He also planned to use his trip to the Heavenly Fate Plateau to kill demon beasts to train himself in live combat. Training with a friend in a controlled environment was completely different from a savage beast hell-bent on tearing your throat out.
During his relaxing days in Glory City, he had also been mulling over the problem of how to banish the slapper yet still keep the child growing inside of her. The first problem was her not killing it outright as soon as she found out, which must be very soon. Shen Yue was not sure if cultivators experience morning sickness, but if they do, she would be starting to show signs.
The best plan he could come up with was using public sentiment to force her not to abort the child. If she did anything to the baby after the City found out about it, the discovery would destroy her already tattered reputation. With Nie Li thinking it was his, and her parents wanting an heir, it should be enough to stay her hand. Otherwise, she would face dire repercussions. Funnily enough, the outcry of a thirteen-year-old having a baby paled in comparison to a girl aborting her child, especially a noble!
With his minions given the order to disseminate rumours throughout the City, he was ready to leave on his hunting trip. Most of his men had already headed to the plateau in preparation for the hunt, so it was just a small team that headed out in the morning. As a peak 5-star legend, Shen Yue was not too worried about injury from low-level beasts. Even though they were physically larger with teeth and claws, his cultivation technique made him impervious to harm from anything below the rank of legend.
This hampered his life or death fighting experience, but let's face it, you would have to be a complete retard to actually put yourself into a life or death situation in the first place! What are you exactly hoping to achieve? The knowledge that you could survive overwhelming odds? Forcing yourself to squeeze out all your potential? It was conveniently overlooked just how many people actually survived this training regime. How about just training harder and bringing a gun to a knife fight!
Shen Yue thought it was absurd that so many protagonists threw themselves into danger to achieve breakthroughs or training benefits. He was a blue-collar slob that had only been in a few bar fights before, there was no way he was going to put himself in a shitty situation just to train! Although it would put him at a disadvantage when fighting the beserker nutjobs inhabiting this universe, Shen Yue much preferred fighting smarter than like a retarded lemming, charging into battle.
With his aversion to killing dulled from the massacre at the Sacred Family, Shen Yue found it easier to fight and kill. The terrifying beasts trying to rip him apart took getting used to though. It was certainly an eye-opener when he faced his first demon beast.
His men faced him off against a bronze ranked Giant Blue Armed Ape, but gave the restriction that he was unable to use weapons. With the assurance that there was no possible way for him to be harmed, he fought against the massive ape barehanded.
The Giant Blue Armed Ape howled with rage, before charging towards Shen Yue in a lumbering gallop. With his legend strength and speed, it was easy to dodge the seemingly slow swings of its massive fists, but Shen Yue was urged to feel what an attack would feel like. Forcing himself to ignore his reflex to dodge, he braced himself and was struck by a fist the size of a car tyre.
Shen Yue was expecting to be launched backwards by the blow, but somehow, only slid back slightly, feeling no pain at all from a hit that would cripple an average adult! After receiving the first blow, Shen Yue continued to block the fists that were striking at him as the enraged ape continued its frenzied assault. Losing his fear, Shen Yue started to fight back and attacked with a heavy right hook against an incoming fist.
His hand looked tiny compared to the Giant Blue Armed Ape's fist, but he was shocked when they collided. With a loud crunch, the ape's fist exploded in a shower of gore as Shen Yue's fist continued forward destroying up to its elbow! Shen Yue nearly lost his balance as there seemed to be no resistance to his punch.
Shen Yue was astounded as he stared at his blood covered fist in awe while the massive ape was howling in agony. Sick of the noise, Shen Yue jumped up and punched it in the head, bursting it like a melon. After his first fight, he was covered head to toe in gore and wondering how he had not killed everything he touched before! Looking up he saw Shen Tzu approaching with a smile on his face.
Shen Tzu was from the Sacred Family and had been arranged by Shen Xiu to train Shen Yue in combat. He was her teacher when she was younger and was a peak gold rank expert before he joined Shen Yue's team, now he was a Heavenly Fate expert. Shen Tzu had been experienced in fighting both humans and demon beasts. He had been training Shen Yue ever since the takeover, encouraging him to take hits to lose his fear of injury.
As an average human from Earth, Shen Yue was averse to being pummeled in a fight and tended to retreat or guard against attacks in fear of bodily harm. When Shen Tzu came onto the scene, this was quickly overcome with the same strategy as the fight with the ape just now. After taking a few hits and getting used to the flow of a fight, Shen Yue had soon learnt to hit back.
