Chapter 244: Break Time - 244
As their fists collided, Both were pushed back an equal distance. Pangu had a couple of burns, but he was relatively fine.
Both of them charged towards each other once again. This time, Pangu covered his fist with Fiend Qi.
In response, Dave did the same, adding the Fiend Qi to his fire Qi. As they collided again, Dave was pushed back a few more steps than Pangu was.
The outcome of the second clash was something they were both surprised at. It was even more surprising when one realized that Pangu wasn't using two affinities.
While he did have another affinity besides Fiend Qi, he was unable to use it in any good capacity at his current strength. That was also why he had omitted it during his fight with the all.
It was known as Sky Qi, but not that much was known about it by anyone besides Pangu. It was one of the rarer Qi's that did not follow a standard scale.
It was most closely related to wind Qi.
Before the cultivation reset, it had allowed him to fly much faster than anyone else and it also displayed a special strength when using his final move, SKY breaker.
Obviously, the sky part was named after his affinity.
When Sky Qi is added into the sky breaker, it ruptures everything near it as if the sky is falling down.
Unfortunately, it was unable to show any of its strength until the core formation realm when Pangu can fly.
Even then, he will have to wait until the nascent soul realm before it is able to be used in the sky breaker attack due to unknown reasons.
As the fight progressed, the playing field eventually evened out. Dave had still been unused to the foundation establishment realms power, but as the fight progressed, he got more used to it.
Before the cultivation reset, he had been the fiendcelestial with the greatest battle experience, which only added to his current combat power.
In the end, they tied again. It would take a while before Pangu could overwhelm Dave due to his battle experience.
Although Pangu walked back to his house disappointed, Dave was actually angry.
Although it had been closer to a casual spar than a full on battle, he should have won with ease.
Dave retreated into his house with humiliation apparent on his face. Luckily, there was nobody else to witness the battle besides Pangu.
As Pangu began to cultivate once again, Zhou Fan took a look at the rest of the galaxy.
Although it somewhat felt like a good amount of time had passed since he started observing Pangu, it had been less than a year.
As far as the galaxy was concerned, that was about equivalent to the time it took to sneeze. In other words, nothing had changed and nothing important happened.
After taking another glance at Pangu, Zhou Fan recalled the rules he had set in place. Due to Pangu's talent exceeding the maximum, his cultivation speed would once again be limited at 1 month per level.
That meant that, from the 1st level to the 2nd level of core formation would take Pangu 1 month. From 2 to 3, 2 months, and so on. Going from the 1st level to the 2nd was actually faster than going from the 5th level of foundation establishment to the 6th.
It was quite weird and unnatural, but cultivation speed was not supposed to be naturally suppressed regardless.
Assuming that Pangu would stop at the 5th level before going out exploring again and adding the time it would take to go from the 10th level of foundation establishment to the 1st level of core formation, Zhou Fan had a year and four months of free time.
That amount of time was not enough to do anything substantially important, so Zhou Fan thought of something unimportant to do. He could just silently watch Pangu, but that would unnecessarily waste time.
Zhou Fan thought of a bunch of things, but he eventually remembered the time when he had sat in the middle of a river on the Plant world. That period of time was pleasant and relaxing.
'I would like to do that again.' Zhou Fan said to himself.
Naturally, the best place to do that would be the elf world. It had the best nature, which included bodies of water.
Zhou Fan casually traveled to the elf world and reached it in around an hour. Since he had free time, he took his time on his journey.
As he reached the elf world, he cut off his senses and randomly let himself fall down. He only reactivated his senses after thirty minutes had passed.
As he opened his eyes, he discovered that he was in a crater. Naturally, it had been caused by his heavy body.
His weight had never stopped increasing as he broke through, and he had to use a fair, yet miniscule amount of Qi to limit it.
Despite limiting his weight, he was still able to create a sizeable crater.
Before doing anything else, Zhou Fan limited his divine sense so that he could enjoy his break time more.
It was limited to ten feet around him. Although the ground technically limited divine sense, Zhou Fans was so powerful that it easily passed through it. Zhou Fan didn't even need to put any sort of effort in.
Zhou Fan eventually got off of his back and walked up the side of the crater. Due to him limiting his weight, it was only ten feet deep and twenty feet wide.
As he exited the crater, he noticed two things. One, he was on elevated ground, most likely a hill of some sort, and two, there was a village not too far from him and there seemed to be a group of people walking towards him.
They had likely been attracted by the sound of his impact with the ground.
"Great. People." He grumbled to himself before walking out of the crater.
The elf group was only a mile or so away, and it seemed they would reach his location in around 15 - 20 minutes.
Although he could have gone somewhere else, Zhou Fan decided to go with the flow for the next year and 4 months.
Chapter 245: High Elf? - 245
As the group of elves came up the hill, they paused for a moment.
Just appearing in their vision was what seemed like a dirty homeless man.
He wore gray robes, had gray hair, and his eyes were closed. Mist of his body, including his clothing, was covered in dirt.
Even weirder, he did not look like an elf. His ears were round and not pointed, and as previously mentioned, he had gray hair, yet looked young.
The group of elves looked at each other, seemingly communicating with their eyes, before they nodded and walked towards the homeless man.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The lead elf asked.
The lead elf was a sturdy looking man that seemed to have a lot of life experience. He had blond hair and leather armor, along with everyone else in the group.
"I don't know. I just woke up here." Zhou Fan said, lying.
Once again, the elves looked at each other. They had no idea what to do with the man in front of them.
"Alright then. Follow us. The village head will choose what to do with you." The lead elf said.
As two of the elves in the 5 elf group walked up to Zhou Fan and picked him up to his feet, the lead elf momentarily examined the hole.
"Did you see what caused this hole?" The lead elf asked after his examination.
"No." Zhou Fan briefly responded.
The lead elf nodded and began to walk towards the elf village. The other 4 elves, including the two holding onto Zhou Fan, followed him.
The journey from the crater to the village took around 30 minutes.
The village looked more like a temporary camp than an actual village.
Surrounding a small area was a small wall of dirt. It was so small that even a child could get over it.
It was likely meant more as a marker of territory than a defense.
Within the wall were a few stone houses, a walkway, and what seemed like a tree house in the center of it all. There was also the occasional campfire that was being used to cook.
As the group of elves walked through the village, the others stared at Zhou Fan. They were curious as to who he was.
Soon, the elf group reached the tree house in the center of the village. It had only taken around 20 seconds of walking.
The two elves holding Zhou Fan let him stand on his own as he had never tried to run away or resist, while they and the rest of the group stood respectfully as the leader knocked on the ground floor treehouses door.
He too stood slightly in front of the villagers respectfully.
As the door opened up, an old looking elf with dark blond hair opened the door.
He calmly looked at the group of elves until he saw Zhou Fan. Then, his eyes slightly widened with confusion and what seemed like worry or fear.
"Who is this?" The old elf asked.
"We don't know. He was in a crater which was likely the source of the earlier sound. He said he had no idea how he got there, so we brought him here." The lead elf explained.
"Move out of the way. Let me see him clearer." The old elf said.
The members of the elf group respectfully complied.
As the elf examined Zhou Fan, he began to speak.
"What is your name?"
"Zhou Fan"
"Where are you from?"
"I don't know. I've lost all my memories except for my name." Zhou Fan responded.
After another moment of silence, the old elf spoke.
"Come inside Zhou Fan. All of you can go back to wherever you were before." The old elf said as he shooed the elves away.
As Zhou Fan entered the room, he looked around. It wasn't much, but it gave off a certain feeling of peace and tranquility.
"Sit down Zhou Fan. I'll make you some tea." The old elf said as he pulled one of the seats from the table out and gestured to Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan nodded and sat.
'It seems that this elf man is quite nice.' He said to himself.
"So." The elf spoke as he was preparing some tea. "Can you truly not remember anything besides your name?" He asked.
"It is the truth. I can only remember my name." Zhou Fan responded.
"Well. Call me crazy, but you may be elf royalty. The only feature of yours that differs from their look is your ears." He explained.
"However, the lack of ears can be explained in a few ways. If you don't mind, I would like to take you to the elf capital. There, you will be tested and if you are in fact a high elf, you will find your people and I will have one heck of a payday." The old elf explained.
Zhou Fan nodded along to his words.
"What is a high elf?" Zhou Fan asked. He had met elves before, but there hadn't been such a thing as a high elf.
"The name may make it seem like they are a different species, but they aren't. Essentially, they are elves with a noble bloodline. On average, their talent is higher." The old elf answered. "One thing that they all have in common is their silver hair. While yours is gray, there is still a chance that you are at least 25% high elf."
By now, the tea was done and the old elf brought two teacups over to the table. He poured the tea in the cups and gave one to Zhou Fan.
"If you don't have any objection, I would like to set out tomorrow morning. It will take 4 days of travel to reach them." He said while sighing. "If only I still had my cultivation."
After they finished the tea, the old elf let Zhou Fan stay in one of the unoccupied houses.
Zhou Fan decided to actually let himself sleep that night.
He was woken up at dawn by a knock at his door.
