"Leader! What happened?!" Liu Zhi exclaid with his eyes wide with fear.
"Leader! He's on our side, he was the one who removed the virus from my body when a zombie bit ."
"What Wu Yan said is the truth. This young kid is a mber of our party and he has saved us countless tis. We are in debt to him, Leader. Please cease your attack on his Qi Core."
Since I've already decided to not block my senses while I cultivated the explosive energy inside , I could clearly hear the conversation that Shen Rong and Liu Zhi's party were having. In the middle of my inhales and exhales, their conversation resonated in and there were tis when I wanted to interrupt them due to their useless and distracting ramblings. Fortunately, the System managed to keep focused by way of constant notifications in my mind.
Shen Rong cleared his throat and turned around, his robe, flapping in the wind. A mont ago, there was an air of arrogance and dominance surrounding him but now, his aura was as light as a feather and humility echoed in his heart. I could tell that he had already regretted his actions.
"I deeply apologize, Yong Rui and Liu Zhi." Shen Rong lightly said after clearing his throat. "I only wanted to test him but I let my emotions get the better of when he managed to injure my Qi Core. Although he's just in the Spirit Realm, he managed to injure soone in the Transcendence Realm. That alone speaks much of his achievents at such a young age."
Shen Rong, you flatter . The only reason why I managed to do that was that I have profound enlightennt, or rather, understanding when it cos to Qi energy. And also, I look way younger than I really am!
"Liu Zhi, you may not know this... but do you know how one could start cultivating on the Blood Elent?" Shen Rong asked,
His question was enough to pique everyone's interest and before he knew it, everyone was already gathered around him. He wasn't expecting such a large audience but sohow, he managed to maintain his composure. How befitting of a Shelter Leader!
He began.
"It is a general rule of thumb that high rewards require higher sacrifices and such a rare and powerful elent can only be obtained through hardship and suffering." Shen Rong stole a glance towards my direction before continuing on with his speech. "And if one were to try awakening the Blood Elent, they have one percent chance in awakening it. Of course, certain aspects in one cultivation could largely affect the chance of awakening... but right now, there aren't any known ways of awakening one."
"I was part of the one percent... and that's the reason why I have the Blood Elent right now. Because of the rarity of this elent, I had given up on looking forward to eting soone with the sa Blood Elent as I am. And yet, it's as if my life had the singularity of the river... and that river washed downstream where it found its kindred that is Yong Rui."
"The reason why blood elent is so rare... is because one had to expose himself or herself to the Virus in order to awaken it. Yes, one has to get bitten in order to awaken the Blood Elent."
Murmur.
Murmur.
Wait, so that's the reason why the Blood Elent was only recently discovered? I never would've thought that such a scary cultivation process would erge because of these damned rabid humans.
I almost lost focus in my cultivation as the surroundings beca unusually louder. Because of Shen Rong's announcent, everyone was hugely shocked by the revelation that they couldn't help increasing the volu of their voices. They were being a pain, to be honest. I'm trying to cultivate here.
"No wonder it's such a rare elent."
"Who would risk getting bitten just so he could awaken a blood elent?"
"I know right, and there's only one percent chance of obtaining it."
'Man... can everyone please give so peace? I am attempting to cultivate here!' I thought to myself, but sohow, everyone just got noisier and noisier.
Still, it's not like I could complain about their noisiness. Because of their raucous voices, I was able to keep myself awake every ti my two Qi Cores tried to pull into unconsciousness. Aside from that, their noise also made more focused than before. If I were alone, I would have succumbed to the Virus already.
Suddenly, I felt soone approach amidst the gathering that Shen Rong initiated. Before I knew it, a damp cloth was gently rubbed on my forehead, wiping the sweat off of it. Not only that, but that person also took the ti to wipe my upper body off as I cultivated.
When I briefly opened my eyes, I realized that it was Wu Yan who was doing it. I didn't know what ca upon her but all I could think about was gratefulness. Although her gesture amounted to little, she kept my body from overheating too much.
Seriously, all these miracles on top of each other, where do they co from? Am I just lucky or is there soone nurturing from above?
"Thanks," I muttered to Wu Yan, making her a little bit flustered.
After that, I continued listening to what Shen Rong was saying while I carried on with my cultivation. Because of the frightening amount of energy Shen Rong unleashed upon , I could now break through the Emperor Realm. However, I haven't gotten the go-signal of the System so I'll probably keep my breakthrough on hold.
And even if my System gave the go-signal, I don't think I'll decide to breakthrough right now. I still haven't condensed my energy enough and if I were to break through, my Qi energy might go wild and cripple .
"That's right, this young man here, he also has the Blood Elent." Shen Rong finally announced. "I hate to admit it but, this young man is more proficient in his Blood Elent than I am. Even at the cultivation of Spirit Realm, he managed to injure my Qi Core quite slightly."
After dropping a heavy announcent like that, Shen Rong approached and knelt in front of . For so reason, Wu Yan knelt beside when Shen Rong did it and as such, the event more or less looked like I was asking for Shen Rong's agreent in our marriage.
Or maybe I was just imagining things.
"Hey, doesn't this look like a father giving a blessing to his daughter?" An onlooker pointed out.
"Yeah, it does look like that?"
"Wait, is Wu Yan getting married?" Another one joked.
Ah yes, I'm totally not imagining things.
