40 Chapter 40 – Dark Winds Valley (2/2)

Even Zhu Meiying who knew his cultivation level was shocked. She didn't expect Zhu Xuan to be this strong.

Even though the spider demon beast was on the same level as his cultivation, the way he attacked it and acted seemed like he didn't even consider it as an opponent. The kill was way too casual.

No one can blame Zhu Xuan for acting like this, since when he was only at Seventh stage and with only a low level technique he killed a demon beast that started forming a demon core. Considering his current strength, he obviously wouldn't care about a demon beast with same cultivation level as him.

Zhu Xuan found all the other three are looking at him in shock, and calmly reminded them ”If you stood there without moving, we will be late you know. You were planning to collect the herbs and leave soon remember?”

When they heard his voice, they came back to reality.

Zhu Biming had a shiver in his back when he thought ”If he attacked me instead of the demon beast, even if I wouldn't have died I would have definitely been injured heavily. Thankfully I didn't infuriate him earlier.”

Whereas Zhu Meiying ran towards Zhu Xuan and said enthusiastically ”You were so cool when killing that Spider demon beast Eighth brother.”

Zhu Xuan posed like an arrogant master and said ”Of course I am. I told you I was strong, but you are the one who didn't believe me then.”

Zhu Meiying snickered and said ”You are boasting again Eighth brother.”

Zhu Xuan laughed out loud and they moved inside the valley with others towards the herb garden. After walking a while they reached the entrance of the herb garden.

Zhu Xuan looked at Zhu Meiying and said ”Tenth sister, I will depart now and will enter deep into the valley. I will come back to the clan before the selections of Lei Shu academy.”

Zhu Meiying smile and replied ”Okay Tenth brother. You take care and be careful inside the valley.”

Zhu Xuan smiled at her, then turned towards the other two and nodded at them, turned around and he walked away. Zhu Kun and Zhu Biming looked at the figure of Zhu Xuan walking away with a complicated look in their face.

He walked deep into the valley for few hours, killing any demon beast that attacked him on his way. He only avoided the Qi gathering stage demon beasts. He finally found a cave of a demon beast which he could use in the time he will be training in the valley, so he killed the demon beast and started cleaning the inside of the cave.

After finished cleaning, he sat down and started thinking ”I'm very close to obtaining completion in my wind element technique. If I observed and experienced the fierce wind in the valley at night, I should be able to breakthrough within a few days and move on to the other elements.”

Night arrived and the howling of winds started. Zhu Xuan walked out of the cave and tried to feel and understand the wind. But as time passed, the wind got fiercer and started tearing his clothes like sharp blades and got slashed all over his body. He realised the wind is not slowing down and getting even fiercer and the howling sounds felt dreadful in the night. Now he understood why he was informed that it was dangerous to travel in the valley at night, and he was thankful he found a cave to stay.

He thought ”These winds are as fierce as just like the cyclone I saw when I was in Storm Rage mysterious forest. They are swift, fierce and sharp. If I experience them, I will definitely able to achieve breakthrough sooner than I thought.”

He endured the pain and sat down outside the cave. He closed his eyes and started feeling the wind through his body.
