T/N: The chapter na ”What reatively (=nothing is left, or a lot of casualties) or positively (=spoils of war)
After Zero brought Montra somewhere safe, he left without a word Of course, Montra knew Zero was only doing this in order to gain his trust Once, however, was not enough
'Even though it's true that he can catch up to Revin and Kawin on the way to Belacia City, the fact that Zero made an appearance at Grea CityI will have to keep an eye on him'
Montra activated an invitation card and returned to his private dirassland were in their usual state That was a given, though, since only he could enter this place
Many unexpected things happened today However, although everything didn't go according to his plan, the result was still acceptable The only big loss for Montra was losing Raer needed The exact reason why I centered the raid around Ra hi is how I can make use of the loss'
In a sense, Montra had the saht that Monster Soul was just a game No matter how valuable the lost iterieve over it
Montra was different in one way, however, as he wasn't simply indifferent about the loss He would try to come up with a way to exploit the loss as well
To solve a problem, Montra always believed that the solution had to be created, not waited for He decided to reorganize the problems he had His priority was Martial Radiance Art
Montra released a sigh once He clenched his teeth and canceled the power of Martial Radiance Art
Montra collapsed on the field Although he didn't feel pain while the art was active, once he canceled it, all of the accu was beyond what Montra could describe He gnashed his teeth to the point that blood seeped out frorass to the point that his nails al to experiencing such excruciating pain
Montra's oneas a hellish eternity He didn't let out even a single anguished sound His body was covered in stains, dirt, and grass He re and dropped it nearby, revealing his strong body marred by numerous scars These scars could also be seen on his body in real life He got none of the—surpassing his limits
”My Martial Radiance Art coer than Sila's qi However, his qi changed fro—as if he forsook the previous one for another and practiced fro with his developedCloud Qi? It seeh”
The Sky Dragon Dojo didn't have a qi art Even the Wulin Masters association's Profound Library only had a few books regarding qi arts, and most of them were mediocre or incomplete
Sila still didn't realize how fortunate he was to get a chance to study soCloud Qi, or Profound Qi Circulation Art, they were all first-rate profound arts By co the three, Sila comprehended the core part of qi arts and finally ca
Most profound practitioners didn't have such an opportunity It was practically i Even Montra uess He randoon Qi until he accidentally got Triple Sky Energy
One could say that Sila had , Triple Sky Energy combined with Martial Radiance Art was considered a ainst first-rate qi arts The only kind of person that could co qi arts was undoubtedly a genius like Montra
Nonetheless, harth was considered a dark art, be it Sila's Yin Yang Energy which caused the user to suffer in the process of practicing it, or Montra's Martial Radiance Art which caused the user to suffer after use The standard qi art was supposed to slowly build up the user's inner force through cultivation without any harm involved
It could be said that both Sila and Montra were too hurried Considering their ages, their strengths were already more than excellent
Montra took out a bottle of cold water froh and concentrated He needed time to rethink
Sila in the latter half of the battle was undeniably stronger However, he didn't seem like hi Sila's body
Montra shook his head to dis the to their as a serious crione heavy inspection to prevent such an illegal act Therefore, it was impossible for Sila's actions to be controlled by someone else It was another story if he pretended to be controlled though
Thatlike he was innocent, naive, childish, and honest to the world around hi but a pretense As it turned out, Sila was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing He acted like he was a victiain favors from everyone else, but would show his true character once he obtained sufficient strength and power
Hoould soe the entire association? If Sila were to becoon Dojo would be in danger
”I don't need to hesitate anymore Even if I have to die, I will protect the dojo”
Montra took the scroll containing the dark art, Grand Deity's Breathing, froe
Grand Deity's Breathing consisted of five stages The first stage was to adjust the user's breathing in order to prepare thees It wasn't co to h practicing dark arts was known for requiring less tih He also had many quests and proble up around hi him an exit In addition, the people around him were all his enemies; only very few of them were his allies
Nonetheless, now that he decided to put histhe art, all he needed to do was to practice its first stage He would solve a task at a time, step by step
At the very least, the war at Grea City allowed hith the Wicked Union held to a certain degree Be it Cross' strategies, the ways they utilized traps, or Sila's current strength, Montra knew it all
”Hopefully, it will cause enough turbulence so my men can leave the city's rebirth zone Letto cope with this move of mine, Cross”
Montra soon discarded all of the unnecessary thoughts He stared at the page he left open while alternating between inhaling and exhaling with a certain rhyther felt his body while his mind was clearer than ever His concentration reached a realm where it couldn't easily be shaken It see him into a vessel that could contain bottoe, Stabilize Breathing and Return to Nihility
Sila slowly stood up Ever since he had practiced Five-Attributed Cloud Qi, he could continue exerting his power as long as he didn't overextend hi his poith his qi circulation However, after Dark Self seized control of his body, he felt remarkably exhausted It see any in reserve
It left Sila with no choice but to solely focus his re power on recovery Sila relaxed his body and controlled his breathing
