Chapter 489: King Ranked Expert (1/2)
The group slept soundly for a whole day. When they had arrived at the cave, it was dark outside, but when they woke up again, it was twilight. They had slept for a full twenty hours, and they felt full of energy again.
Their bodies were aching, the wounds were still there, but their minds were much clearer than before, and they felt Qi and Spiritual Energy roaming their bodies again.
Previously they had been depleted of strength, but now they could feel refreshed. They quickly found some healing pills that they placed in their mouths and sat down cross-legged and guided the energy through their bodies.
The wounds on their bodies began healing at a rapid pace, soon the skin was back to its original state, and the dull pain that had been troubling them was gone.
They stood up, stretched their bodies, and took a deep breath of relief. They felt much more refreshed and ready to continue their fight.
Looking around, they found that Lan was seated deeper into the cave, his eyes were closed, and he was resting. His face had a healthy color, and he seemed comfortable.
When he felt their gaze on him, he opened his eyes and smiled.
”I hope you had a good rest,” he said. ”I have some interesting news for you.”
Xue Wei and the others' eyes lit up in excitement as they looked at Lan with curiosity.
”You are aware that there is a King ranked expert in this base. Well, congratulations, you have killed so many of his men, that he has exited the base and began patrolling the forest last night, planning on personally putting an end to you all.”
Xue Wei grimaced when he heard that, but then a strong urge to fight appeared in his heart. He wanted to fight against a King ranked expert, even if he could not win, he wanted to know how he fared.
Lan looked at Xue Wei and saw the burning eyes. He knew that this youngster was eager to test his skills, and he did not decline it. Although he had experienced a slight setback because of the Monarch Piranha Flower, he had not actually met someone who was as strong as he himself, and thus he had no way of actually going all out.
The King ranked experts were very different from Saints. They had spiritual bodies and were on the way towards becoming deities. They were not to be underestimated.
But Lan knew that he could keep Xue Wei alive, while still letting him try his hand against a King ranked expert and learning his own limits.
Xue Wei did not know that Lan had planned on taking the King ranked expert as a training dummy.
If he knew, he would be sweating slightly. Lan was truly heavy handed.
