Chapter 304: Friendly Spar - 304
Lernean and Guang Fu stood in a field. They were no longer underground. Above them was a large white dome shaped barrier, similar to the ones used during the war.
It was quickly set up by the supreme beast leader and Tian Ren's wife in order to stop anyone besides them from seeing what was going on inside.
Guang Fu and Lernean stood across from each other. Lernean was already standing tall, ready to display his full power, while Guang Fu was holding a sword he had borrowed from Tian Ren's wife.
Without a word needing to be spoken, both Guang Fu and Lernean moved at the same time.
Instantly, Lernean spat out 9 breaths containing different Qi's. Not willing to get hit by them, Guang Fu dodged by moving far to the sides. The breaths continued moving forward without any sign of changing directions.
'He cannot control his breaths once they leave his mouth.' Guang Fu noted.
He was neither glad nor sad. On one hand, his future ally had a weakness. On the other hand, his current opponent had a weakness.
Guang Fu's speed was extremely fast. He moved so quickly that Lernean could barely react.
Nine different spears appeared above Lernean's heads and shot toward the quickly moving Guang Fu.
Guang Fu had no trouble dodging them at all. He was simply much smaller and much faster.
'This guy clearly doesn't compare to Yao Mun. Can he really beat Bi Chong?' Guang Fu asked himself.
Guang Fu was just about to feel dejected as Lerneans heads moved together. It only took a moment for all nine of them to be touching, forming a circle.
Then, they continued moving inwards. For some reason, it was as if they were in separate spaces.
Before Guang Fu could reach Lernean, the heads had all layered over each other. Then, a light appeared. It almost blinded Guang Fu's eyes, but he was able to see through it.
He watched as the nine heads formed one, multicolored head.
Then, Lernean opened his mouth and roared. Guang Fu felt danger for the first time since the battle started and put his sword in his sheath. He held his hands out and two hands twice as big as his body appeared in front of him. They were made of Light Qi.
It was a Light Qi defensive technique heavily based off of Buddhist Qi techniques. A breath made of nine colors and nine Qi's reached the hands before Guang Fu could react.
The hands resisted for a second, but quickly broke down from the breath attack.
'His nine heads merged to form one. Different from that, the nine breaths retained their own individuality instead of combining. The power increased by about ten times, but what if they merged? Is there some reason they aren't?' Guang Fu thought as he jumped upward quickly.
He had already spotted Lernean's weakness and easily evaded the breath.
'Perhaps if I stood still and took it with my bare body, that would have killed me. He seems talented, but he doesn't feel all that strong. Maybe it's because I fought Yao Mun. Am I getting arrogant?' Guang Fu casually thought to himself as he grabbed his sword's handle.
As he began to pull the sword out of its sheath, he continued to think.
'No. No. This guy is the one who is arrogant. He really thought such a subpar mastery was acceptable? I can't be arrogant compared to this guy. I'll just consider this teaching him a life lesson.' Guang Fu thought as the tip of the sword exited the sheath.
At that moment, the sword disappeared. Then, a giant hole formed in Lernean's one-headed body. He hadn't even had time to see that Guang Fu dodged.
Lernean fell to the ground as nine heads appeared once again. Guang Fu sheathed his sword since the battle was clearly over.
He flew towards Lernean's laid down body as the supreme beast and Tian Ren's wife watched carefully.
"You seem subpar, but you have talent. If you can control that breath of yours, you may become an actual threat. Before that, stop thinking you have a chance to scratch Bi Chong. If you two were at the same level, he would kill you ten times before you attacked once." Guang Fu lectured.
"So what will it be?" Tian Ren's wife asked.
Both she and the space shattering realm supreme beast were shocked by Guang Fu's performance, but they did not let it show on their face.
"He can work with us. At the very least, holding back Bi Chong may not be an issue. Of course, that is assuming he gets much better." Guang Fu said. "Let the supreme beasts relocate here. If me and Lernean train together, he may improve much more than when alone. Sparring with each other may even help me."
"Then it is settled." Tian Ren's wife said as she clapped her hands with a smile.
She and the space shattering realm supreme beast went off to discuss details of their cooperation further while Guang Fu came closer to Lernean and started healing him.
"Thanks." Lernean said.
His voice was gruff and deep, but the tone was quite kind.
"Don't thank me yet. I'm not much of a healer. At the Heaven sect, we have better healers. Come with me." Guang Fu said as he stabilized Lernean's condition.
"No need. I heal quickly." Lernean responded.
"The point is to get to know each other a bit. Come on." Guang Fu said.
"Are you sure we can just go out without saying anything?" Lernean asked with a confused tone.
"Hah. Let me introduce you. Welcome to the Heaven world. A world of peace and freedom. Nobody here goes asking for a fight with people like us." Guang Fu laughed.
He made sure that Lernean could move well before they began flying back to the Heaven sect.
The world was huge, but they hadn't gone that far away from the Heaven sect. It was only a day of travel before they arrived at the Heaven sect's gate.
At first, Lernean's huge body put them on edge, but Guang Fu fetched an item made specifically for these occasions.
He put a talisman on Lernean and Lernean's big body became smaller until it was only twice as big as a normal Heavenborns.
"This will temporarily shrink you, but don't get into any fights or bump into anything too hard. It will lose its effect."
Chapter 305: Doctor Ket - 305
Guang Fu and Lernean walked down the streets of the Heaven sect side by side. At first, people would be wary when seeing Lernean, but when they saw Guang Fu, they sighed in relief and went back to what they were doing.
As they walked around, Lernean could not help but look around in wonder, despite his age. It was his first time ever seeing such grand and elegant things.
"I assume you've spent most of your life hidden underground or something. Welcome to a much better world." Guang Fu said as they walked.
Soon, Guang Fu and Lernean reached a large palace. Hanging above the entrance was a sign that said, "Doctor Ket's".
Guang Fu walked in, followed by Lernean. The first floor of the large palace was set up like a shop. In little containers were healing pills and potions, as well as other types of medicines and pills.
Guang Fu directly ignored them as he found a staircase guarded by two guards and walked up it. The guards did not stop him, but they warrily eyed the following Lernean.
Luckily, both the second floor and the first floor had high ceilings with wide walls.
The second floor, unlike the first, contained only a few hallways and a few doors leading to rooms. Normally, few people were allowed to come up, but Guang Fu was known due to his fight with Yao Mun.
After a few turns, Guang Fu knocked on a door. Next to the door was a plate that said, "Doctor Ket's".
"Come in." A voice said.
Guang Fu opened the door and entered, but Lernean was too big. His nine heads floated down and peered into the room.
"Guang Fu! Good to see you. Did you need something or did you just drop by to say hello?" He asked with a smile.
"Hi Doctor Ket. I've come to heal my friend here." Guang Fu responded.
Doctor Ket took a look at Lernean who was peeking from the doors as his eyes showed a green light temporarily.
"Well he doesn't seem that injured. Appears to heal fast." Doctor Ket mumbled as he pointed two fingers at Lernean and a green beam of light shot out.
"There you go. Don't worry about paying, it's on the house." Doctor Ket said with a smile.
"Thanks Doctor." Guang Fu said as he turned around and exited the door.
He and Guang Fu soon exited the palace.
"Who was he? I didn't think of it much when it happened, but that green light was too fast for me to react to." Lernean asked when they exited the building.
"That was Doctor Ket, one of the eldest Heavenborns, as well as the greatest Healer we have. According to rumor, he had practiced medicine and healing so much and so intensely that he suddenly gained an unknown ability. It allows him to see the entire body of any person with a glance. Along with that, his healing ability went up ten fold." Guang Fu explained.
"He is also at the 6th level of the void traversing realm." Guang Fu added.
"Wow." Lernean said. "Someone at the 6th level of the void traversing realm would be very powerful in our supreme beast race. But here, he is just a doctor."
"Yeah. Peace can help a lot. But soon, we are going into war. Unlike the supreme beasts from your world, we will fight back, and we will grow even faster than now. No offense." Guang Fu said.
"None taken." Lernean said as they continued to walk around.
"You will probably need to leave soon." Guang Fu said. "Before you go, here."
Guang Fu handed Lernean an envelope. One of Lerneans' heads bit it and held it.
"That is an invitation to a ceremony taking place in two months. If you can, you should attend." Guang Fu said.
"I will try." Lernean responded.
As they reached the gate, Guang Fu waved Lernean off.
He then headed off to his house. Until the ceremony two months later, he would mostly be left alone.
Guang Fu's residence was close to the castle. It had a main house and a large yard. Both were surrounded by walls twenty feet tall.
Over the next 2 months, Guang Fu cultivated for 18 hours, then practiced techniques for 6 hours without a single break in between. As he practiced, his eyes showed determination that they never had before.
After 2 months, a familiar face appeared in the yard Guang Fu was practicing in.
"It is time." Tian Ren's wife said.
"Let's go." Guang Fu said without wasting any time.
After a short walk, they made it to a large park. Usually, the park was left alone as an eyepiece, but today there was a stage and tens of thousands of seats.
While the park was very large, taking up a noticeable portion on the map, it was nowhere near big enough to host the entire Heaven sect.
Therefore, due to the special occasion, the no flying rule was temporarily lifted. Ten thousand people sat in seats covering the flat park, while the rest were flying in the skies.
In the seats closer to the stage, one could see important people such as Doctor Ket and many space shattering cultivators. The viewers got more and more unrecognizable as you looked back.
With a quick glance, Guang Fu estimated that the entire Heaven sect was in attendance, as well as some other Heavenborns not technically part of the sect, although all Heavenborns were considered disciples in some ways.
Soon, Guang Fu and Tian Ren's wife got on the stage. Besides a single altar, on which a carved eyeball was held, they were the only things on the stage.
Seeing them get on, the entire crowd quieted down. Even the wind stopped moving.
"Ever since Tian Ren's death, I have been given the title of the ruler of Heavenborns, as well as the sect master of the Heaven sect." Tian Ren's wife began.
"But I am unworthy to sit where he sat. Although many would say otherwise, we all know it deep down. So today, we have gathered in hopes of declaring someone worthy of the title. I believe that this man, Guang Fu, is the only one who could possibly be considered."
