Chapter 34: The Feeling of Accomplishment
As the newer cyclone was formed in the dantian, it would soon begin to pick up its pace, spinning faster than before.
The remaining Yin Qi generated from the Yin Bead was lingering in Zhang Yang's body. Some amounts went to supply the dantian and the others went to fertilize the body, strengthening the organs.
With the assistance from the Tai Yin Refining Figures, Zhang Yang's every blood cells were "breathing" with life, taking in Yin Qi like a live organism.
His muscles would become tougher, growing even more robust by the second. The change wasn't spottable, but passing realms would inevitably make one stronger.
After an hour, a howl emitted from the cave, a grand roar that shook the area with its magnificence. The animals that roamed the area were startled by this abrupt sound.
These mighty animals that once ruled these lands ran with their tails between their legs, some pissing with fear.
Chilling winds would blow from the cave, a type of gust that was impractical for this type of environment.
"Boom!"
This was Zhang Yang's post-moment of building to the Level 6 realm, he decided that testing his newly developed strength wouldn't be so bad. His fists collided with the wall, the ground shook intensely as debris dropped and pulverized upon intact to the cavern floor. Zhang Yang was delighted, his new strengths rose beyond expectations.
"I don't believe it! I-I'm on the brink of Level 6?! It seems like the heavens have finally blessed me!" Zhang Yang's cultivation level was already establishing a bridge between the Level 7 realm, this opportunity could only have happened because of Zhang Yang's dedication and preservation for the past year.
His waist and arms were much thicker before, flesh as solid as gold. His fingernails grew to length, sharpening to that of an actual feral beast.
"My body is on par with that Level 7 from Wang Yao! I can even forget about those puny Level 6 zombies, they can't even compete with me now!" His enthusiasm rose to new heights, his arrogance began to show as he wished to battle any beasts outside the cave. But that option was invalid because of the beaming sun exerting Yang Qi outside.
"Shame seems like I'll have to wait till dusk, then I'll spar with the Level 7." Zhang Yang forces himself to sleep, excited and jittery about his improvement. Dawn finally strikes, he would shoot up, elastic and break from his coffin like a morningstar spike.
13 kilometers away, the thin disciple would pant from his excessive travellings, he had run 300 kilometers to follow Shi Fu's instructions, he sought more rewards with his cleaning task.
He was standing on a slope, smirking without reason as he took out the compass:
"Finally! I'll finally meet this coward in 10 more kilometers, I can't believe I spent a day and a tenths of my Agility Talisman just to kill one person. But in doing this, I'll only receive rewards from the sect."
The Shi Long would take one wild breath, inhaling the unnoticeable strands of Yin Qi.
"Shi Fu informed me that this person is indeed stronger than Wang Yao, I must be careful, most of my spiritual power has dried up trying to rush. I suppose that taking some rest to recuperate my spiritual power wouldn't hurt. Would it?"
He soon sat with crossed legs, remaining in a meditation posture. He would retrieve a jet-black stone from his body, this gem-like stone was the same one that Zhang Yang looted from Wang Yao. He begins to absorb the stone, holding it in his palm. The stone would soon lose its glimmer and become more like a common pebble.
Then a sudden movement from the compass was felt.
"The enemy is leaving again?"
"Resting in the morning, leaving at night. It's like Shi Fu said, he is also a corpse cultivator!"
"Shit! He retracted the coffin back to the pouch'
The silver needle in the compass would begin to spin in all directions before later constantly twitching.
The scrawny disciple hurried, losing his stone somewhere in his clothing.
"I must find him! The sect will not forgive such incompetence. I may not have enough energy, but I should be able to have enough to chase and kill."
While thinking, he swiftly applied another Agility Talisman onto himself, it would burn to the consumption.
Half an hour later the Shi Long already arrived at Zhang Yang's new cave, his vision wasn't swayed at all due to the cave's meager size and hollow insides.
"This cave is undoubtedly a Yang existence, but the Yin Qi inside is colliding and overpowering the lesser Yang Qi. There must be an item that's exerting amounts of Yin Qi inside, that's for sure."
"The guy stole Wang Yao's petty life, he must've discovered the Yin Spring as well. If he did, then he must've also taken some Yin Beads with him, reaping rewards then running. If I'm correct and put my information on corpse cultivators all together, then he'll be training his zombie in the morning again. But it seems hes running, Ill just kill him and steal those Yin Beads, then, the loss of my two bottles wont be much, but that old bastard is still too annoying!"
He would creep over this thought, angrily releasing another talisman, releasing the mystical formation on it with hand seals.
"Ji!"
The paper tag would then burn to ashes, falling crispy to the ground.
"Zombie print? All I see are zombie footprints, where's the human!"
He released a Tracking Talisman just now to discover the memorable prints of a zombie, after spending time in a sect built of corpse cultivators, his mind would get sick of seeing such a sight."
"Perhaps that guy has a special technique to disregard the Tracking Talisman's ability, nonetheless why didn't he hide his zombie's? Whatever, that question will soon be answered."
He would keep chasing the tracks, following the direction the other left in.
"According to the length and strength of each stomp, it's should only be a Level 7 zombie, how has it been outrunning me for an hour?"'
But what he didn't know that in front of him, is a Level 6 Walking Zombie that was enjoying the new prime of his speed.
To achieve near-maximum speed, he would waste a Level 2 Agility Talisman to try his newly gained powers.
While running at his full speed, the scenery of everything passing his body was amazing, the healthy, green trees were a mesmerizing sight to behold, the nature within the mountain range is top notch.
