Bab 30: Fights
As Ling Tian stood in the forest, his thoughts drifted back to that moment.
The Tianwu Sword had been a constant companion on his journey, its sharp edge cutting through both foes and obstacles alike for the time he was in the forest.
It was more than just a weapon; it was a symbol of his family's legacy and his father's unwavering faith in him.
With a renewed sense of determination, Ling Tian gripped the hilt of the Tianwu Sword, feeling the familiar surge of power and confidence it bestowed.
He knew that the path ahead would be fraught with challenges, but he was ready to face them head-on.
The sword at his side was a testament to his heritage and a reminder of the strength that ran through his veins.
As he stood there, surrounded by the towering trees and the sounds of the forest, memories of his past training sessions flooded his mind.
He recalled the countless hours he had spent honing his skills, the sweat and perseverance that had shaped him into the cultivator he was today.
The lessons his father had imparted to him echoed in his thoughts, each one a guiding light that had illuminated his path.
"I will not let you down, Father," Ling Tian vowed silently. "With this sword, I will carve my own path and become the cultivator I am destined to be."
He took a deep breath, allowing the crisp forest air to fill his lungs.
The scent of pine and earth mingled with the faint aroma of wildflowers, grounding him in the present moment.
The forest was alive with the sounds of nature, a symphony of rustling leaves, chirping birds, and distant animal calls that created a serene yet vigilant atmosphere.
Ling Tian's eyes sharpened with resolve as he scanned his surroundings, ever alert for any signs of danger.
The Outer Zone was known for its array of demonic beasts, each one a test of his strength and skill.
He knew that the challenges he faced here would push him to his limits, but he welcomed them as opportunities to grow stronger.
With each step he took, the dry wood crackled beneath his feet, and the dense foliage seemed to part, allowing him passage.
His senses were heightened, every sound and movement analyzed for potential threats.
The forest, with its mix of beauty and peril, was the perfect training ground for someone determined to reach new heights in their cultivation journey.
As he ventured deeper into the Outer Zone, the terrain became more rugged and the qi in the air grew denser.
He could feel the energy thrumming through his veins, amplifying his abilities and sharpening his focus.
Ling Tian's grip on the Tianwu Sword tightened as he prepared for his next encounter.
He embraced the thrill of the fight, the rush of adrenaline that came with each clash of steel, and the roar of beasts.
Ling Tian moved with a blend of caution and confidence, his senses heightened to detect the slightest disturbance in his surroundings.
His first encounter came swiftly, a massive Ironhide Boar charging at him with surprising speed.
Its tusks, sharp and menacing, gleamed in the dappled sunlight.
With a fluid motion, Ling Tian unsheathed the Tianwu Sword.
The blade hummed with energy as he sidestepped the boar's charge and delivered a precise slash to its side.
The boar roared in pain, its iron-like hide no match for the refined edge of Tianwu. With a few more swift strikes, the beast fell, its blood spilling everywhere.
"One down," Ling Tian murmured, retrieving the beast's core. He didn't pause for long, pressing deeper into the forest where the creatures grew more numerous and formidable.
As the day progressed, Ling Tian encountered a variety of demonic beasts.
There were Flame-tail Foxes whose fiery attacks forced him to employ both speed and strategy to avoid being scorched.
The foxes' tails blazed with intense heat, leaving trails of fire wherever they moved.
Ling Tian danced around their attacks, using the Tianwu Sword to deflect the flames and deliver swift counterattacks.
His movements were a blur of precision and agility, each strike carefully calculated to exploit the foxes' weaknesses.
Next, he faced the Agile Shadow Panther, a beast that melded seamlessly with the darkness, its stealth attacks testing Ling Tian's reflexes and situational awareness.
It was also a level higher than him at 8th level qi refining realm.
The panther's sleek, black fur allowed it to blend into the shadows, making it nearly invisible in the dim forest light.
Ling Tian relied on his heightened senses, listening for the faintest rustle of leaves or whisper of movement.
When the panther struck, it was with lightning speed and deadly precision, but Ling Tian was ready.
He parried its claws with the Tianwu Sword, the blade cutting through the shadows as if they were mere illusions.
The battle was intense, but Ling Tian's focus never wavered.
Ling Tian anticipated the panther's moves, countering with a series of fluid, powerful strikes that eventually brought the beast down.
His movements were precise and controlled, each strike aimed at exploiting the panther's vulnerabilities.
The beast's stealth and agility were formidable, but Ling Tian's training and experience had sharpened his instincts and reflexes to a razor's edge.
Breathing heavily, Ling Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a moment to collect himself.
The battle had been intense, a true test of his abilities. He knelt beside the fallen panther, examining its core.
The core pulsed with a dim, blue light, a testament to the beast's strength and the qi it had accumulated over its life.
Ling Tian carefully extracted it, adding it to his growing collection of valuable resources, he then began extracting his bones, tendons, etc.
"These beasts are getting stronger," he muttered to himself, feeling a mix of exhaustion and exhilaration.
He knew that each victory not only brought him closer to his goals but also pushed him to new heights of power and skill. "But I'm still too weak, I should be able to kill anyone below the foundation establishment realm. Where does the problem lie?"
The encounters had taken their toll, and Ling Tian realized it was time for the next step in his cultivation journey.
He needed to break through to the 8th level of the Qi Refining Realm, a crucial milestone that would significantly enhance his strength and capabilities.
To achieve this, he turned to the spirit herbs he had gathered in the forest, intending to refine them into qi refining pills.
Ling Tian found a secluded spot near a clear, bubbling stream.
The area was peaceful and conducive to focused cultivation, the gentle sound of running water providing a calming backdrop.
He set up a small camp, arranging his tools and the spirit herbs he had meticulously collected.
The area was peaceful and conducive to focused cultivation, the gentle sound of the nearby stream gave a calming backdrop.
Each herb was chosen for its potency and specific properties, essential ingredients for the qi refining pills he intended to create.
