Chapter 15: The Newfound Special Technique

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

After practicing Taiji Fist for a while, Little Shiba was very disheartened. The practice was not nearly as perfect as he had thought, rather it was quite defective.

However, even though he was not exactly pleased with the results, it did not worry him because he knew what had gone wrong.

His lack of control between his own Internal Qi and his Qi and blood could only be fixed with time and practice. It definitely was not a problem that he would be able to handle in a single morning.

He looked at the sky, guessing that his family was probably awake. ”If mom comes in without finding me, then I'm afraid I'll be beaten badly.”

Thinking of this gave him a strong sense of uneasiness and convinced him that leaving was a wise choice. He turned around and started walking home, unaware that there was black smoke that had been blown here from a nearby cliff.

It was simply being guided by the wind at first, freely flying in the air. However, as it was less than 100 feet away from Little Shiba, it suddenly flew faster, as if it was attracted by him. Little Shiba was totally unaware of the faint smoke and was unguarded. As such, it did not take long before the black smoke caught up with him and burrowed into his head.

His body suddenly stiffened and a confused look appeared on his face afterward. ”Thump!” His body made a loud sound and fell to the ground.

One hour later, the anxious Zhou family finally found Little Shiba behind their courtyard, lying on the ground unconscious. This left the family in a state of panic.

How in the hell did I come back here again?

He felt himself fall into an infinite void, and atop of him floated a strange eye. Little Shiba felt somewhat dizzy and he figured out that he had really fainted. However, he had no idea why he had fainted. He was only awake for a short time and his body seemed to be recovering quite well. In his strange eyes, he simply could not find anything wrong with his body. If that was so, why did he suffer a blackout like that?

Soon after, he realized the answer.

Within this empty void, he caught a glimpse of something that simply did not belong there:

A cloud of black smoke.

It was floating not far from him. He could not figure out what it was, but he could sense danger from it. He quickly backed away from it.

It followed him as he stepped back. His heart nearly skipped a beat when he realized that. In his two lifetimes, he had never seen anything like this. The unknown was always a source of fear for people. Even though Little Shiba had the knowledge of two lifetimes, he still succumbed to fear.

The extremely strange smoke kept following Little Shiba. He did not know how long he had run for, but he knew that he could not get rid of it. It got closer and closer in an instant. Finally, it suddenly wrapped around his body.

Nooooo!

After the smoke had latched itself onto his body, Little Shiba tried to cry out but he could not. He was clueless to the fact that he was the same as that black smoke. The only difference was that he was much denser and thicker than the smoke that was pursuing him. This feeling of screaming was not an actual scream coming from his lungs, but rather, coming from his soul.

This is—

After he had felt himself screaming, Little Shiba realized that the situation was not as bad as he had thought. It was not as horrible as the bad spirits he had heard of in folktales, or as terrible as the body-possessing spirits that were depicted in many online novels.

Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword?!

The black smoke began to fuse with Little Shiba's body. All in a single moment, countless memories began to flow into his mind. He stopped running and started digesting all of the new information that was being crammed into his brain.
