Chapter 3 Recovering Double Martial Speed (1/2)

”Okay, I understand.” Soon, remembering something, Zachary said, ”Wait a second! I thought this body, which my soul is currently in, cannot cultivate at all because of a major past injury. Then how come, all of a sudden, it has the talent of double martial speed?” From the original soul's memory, Zachary knew that he had been gravely injured. Therefore, in that state he could not reach the original martial speed.

”It is true, the Zachary Zi of the Supernal Continent had lost his double martial speed because he had got hurt owing to the torture he suffered, but that doesn't mean that he can't recover!” Mimi answered.

”Mimi, are you saying that there's a remedy?” Zachary raised his eyebrows, and wondered if the body's owner would take it from him, if he got to know that he could recover his martial speed.

”You are going to get a Refreshing Pill, if you activate the second world. That will help you rebuild your body,” Mimi replied.

”Then why am I waiting? Help me activate it now!” Zachary was quick to answer.

”Loading... The second world is activating soon! Gentle reminder: You might feel unwell when you enter the second world. Please don't worry about that. That happens...” Though Mimi sounded serious, there was a playfulness in her tone, as if she was half-joking.

After his conversation with Mimi, suddenly, Zachary felt that his surroundings had changed rapidly, and everything around him was blurred. Soon after that, he felt that a mystical force was lifting him, and he was rising towards the sky. The next second, he felt that he was falling into an abyss. After that, Zachary blacked out.

Near a pond of clear water, a man could be seen. His forehead was resting on the uneven rock's surface, while his hips were raised high and not touching it at all. To passersby, who might stop to look at it, or glance from a distance, he presented the sight of a lover in the act of love-making. Contrary to what it seemed, after some time, his entire body started shaking, though it began with his hips moving first.

Bang!

The body collapsed and lay prone on the ground.

”Ahem!” When Zachary regained consciousness, he realized his mouth was filled with mud. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer in the previous three-dimensional virtual space. On looking around, he could see that he was under peach trees. Their fragrance permeated the air. Their lush canopies covered the undergrowth, while birds of paradise chirped and darted from tree to tree, leaving a blaze of color behind them. Zachary's first thought was, 'Am I in heaven?'

”This is...” Zachary was surprised at what he saw. Everything seemed so real, but he knew that he was not in the real word.

Once again, he heard Mimi saying, ”This is the second world that the Treasure-hunting System has created to assist adventurers hunt for treasures. You are in the Peach Blossom Forest. This is where beginners hunt for treasures. As your expertise increases and you gain experience as a warrior, other scenes will reveal themselves. Remember that each scenario's map has its function, and it will aid you to advance in your treasure-hunting quest. Listen carefully, for what I am going to tell you now is crucial.
