Chapter 2: Chapter Two~ Awakening (2)
Clang! Elder Chen tosses Wei Jian an old Dao. The crowd snickered at Jian. Picking up the sword, Jian examines it thoroughly before bringing it down. It was not perfect to cut through anything, but with a little bit of force, it would possible.
Ye Lai grinning ear to ear, spun his sword, before walking around Wei Jian like a predator stalking its prey. "Rising Larvae Form 13th: 12,000 Larvae Woes !" His one blade multiplied and was aiming straight towards Wei Jian.
But like earlier, Jian's body bobbed and weaved easily between the technique. Ends with Wei Jian again opposite Ye Lai. While Lai was serious about killing Jian, Wei Jian was focusing on a different matter. He knew that he was not his old self anymore. He had become a one with Long Wei.
The pill and battle arts king's will had combined with him. But not all of his knowledge is known though, Jian only knows some information that Long Wei had. He definitely had the skills, but he still needed to comprehend them, before he could use them effectively.
One of Long Wei's most basic, yet destructive techniques was [Bo Raijin's saber]. A technique that needed the user to emit their sword ki, controlling it so that it could form a sword shape, partially becoming sword will. It can be weak or strong base on the cultivators' realm.
Wei Jian, the current him, was ten times stronger than in his previous life. He never cultivated before and for him to grasp this kind of situation of close to impossible. Schwing! Amidst Jian's thought process, fed up, Ye Lai decided to fight dirty.
He first swung his blade, missing by accident, pulverizing a chuck of the stage. Before picking it up and with a twist of his body to blindside Jian. Threw it directly into Jian's opened eyes. Quick to react, Jian tries to block the dust, but with the gaps in his opened hand. Some filtered through. In that split second, Lai lunges forward with his right arm stretched out, holding his Dao.
Crunch! When Ye Lai lunged forward, Wei Jian kicked out his left leg in retaliation. Fortunately for him, it landed on a sweet spot. Ye Lai cups his crotch before slowly collapsing down. Writhing in pain on the stage. All the men winced at the same time, feeling bad for Ye Lai, for they too know his pain.
Now it was all up to Wei Jian, whether Ye Lai will live or die. The anticipation drove everyone mad. From the beginning, they didn't care who'd win. Since it was just another fight between two trash outer disciples that could both die for all they cared. But what a turn of events this was. The so-called weakest in the sect had beaten the second-ranked in power in the outer house of the Golden Cicada sect.
Wiping away the dust, Jian saw Lai still lying on the floor in pain. The veins on his head, are visible under the lanterns in the room. Jian was furious that such a dirty-handed move was used against him. The pride he attained from Long Wei did not allow him to give this man such an easy death.
"Ughh!...huh? Wait! WAIT!" Ye Lai pleaded.
Crunch! Thud! Crunch!
Everyone was horrified, that Wei Jian would do it so. Wei Jian had slowly walked over to Ye Lai. Looking right into his eyes, before lifting up his foot. Using his body weight and the help of gravity, he repeatedly stomps down onto Lai. Crushing his skull, and spreading his brain juice all over the floor.
Gu Laobeng was infuriated, " That useless mutt all talk and this were all he could do, disappointing", disappearing into the crowd.
The crowd dispersed and everyone returned to their quarters, and so did Wei Jian. In front of his house, he could see that his front yard was littered with human waste, urine, and garbage. Fatigued, he headed inside, ignoring the mess.
" Who was that old man? He definitely felt normal and he definitely did not show any signs of divinity. Whoever he is, I'm thankful for this second chance."
Sitting crossed-legged like how was shown in the memory he inherited. Jian closes his eyes, focusing on his dantian. He sees a small sprout in the center of the dark void. When Jian slowly poured in some energy. The sprout grows ever so slowly towards the top of his dantian.
But for him to fully bloom his sprout, he needed to first build his body and meridians. So he needed to first open his meridian gates. There were 17 gates in total, in every being's body. Most of them were in the torso and the rest were in the arms, leg, and head.
According to the [Mythical Grade: Buddha's Body Tempering], he needed to open five of the 17 gates, for him to be able to use the technique. With determination to surpass his previous life, Wei Jian, forces the energy down his meridians. Breaking through the first gate was easy, and so was the second gate. But the third and fourth gates were harder to open than the first two.
Blood seeped out of his eyes and mouth. Dripping down onto his bed and staining his clothes. Black goo oozed out of his pores, the more he pushed, the more it came out of his body. Argh! The pain was excruciating, he felt his meridians stretching, strands of it tore apart as the energy squeezed through it to reach the fifth gate.
Boom!
" Hahaha…Success"
