章 51: Chapter 50: Heading to the third maze!
The old man's face right now couldn't be described any better than using the expression of similar to that of a puffer fish.
Bloody hell! So you can clear away the tribulations with a single punch of yours eh?
I had flown over an ocean of wrathful thunders as if I had killed their entire family just to pull you away from your predicament. Not only that, I had even spatted out a few mouthful of blood and my body was now riddled with numerous injuries just to save you!
To think that you could non-chalantly blew the whole clouds apart with a single punch after waking up, aren't you way too domineering now?
What about my valiant act? What about the blood that I had spilled? Was that all for naught?!
His face had turned crimson red like the lake below him in embarrassment and agitation.
Just as he was about to shout at Duan Li in a rage to vent up his frustrations, the latter closed their eyes while plummeting from the air, becoming unconscious once more.
"Eh? Wait up brat!" the old man immediately bolted forward to catch Duan Li from his fall. Otherwise, if the other party were to fall back into the lake, who knows what sort of mind-boggling phenomena would ensued next.
The old man then landed on the ground besides the lake with Duan Li at tow. Just as he was about to laid Duan Li gently on the ground, he remembered the previous matter. Thus, he snorted angrily as he threw the latter to the ground.
Thud!
Hmph! That's what you get for messing around with me!
"This human... that level of power he just displayed in his punch... that's no power of a first level of the Foundation establishment realm..." said the mother wolf apprehensively.
Hearing this, the old man nodded "That's right. In fact, that level of power had even surpasses of what we can do at the first shackle. Furthermore, right before the punch, this brat had spoken something which I didn't heard clearly, with a voice that doesn't seem to belong to him."
They both then went silent as they pondered on what to do after this.
...
After a while...
"Urghh.."
Duan Li's body twitched as he slowly opened his eyes. He felt pain all over aching through his body.
"What... happened...?" he said slowly while clutching at his head.
"That is what we wanted to know. What happened to you in that lake? How were you able to have such a physical body and ascended to the Foundation establishment realm in one go?" asked the old man with an annoyed look to him.
You asked us what happened? For all we know, the chaos was started by you! But we doubt that you would remember anything since you fainted!
"My physical body? Foundation establishment realm?" Duan Li was quite puzzled with what they just said. He slowly stood up as he pressed his weight onto the ground with his right foot.
Crack!
"Eh??" he exclaimed in a shock.
He never thought that he could make a dent on the ground by just pressing his foot slightly!
Was I always this strong?
"You better be careful to not kill anything accidentally after this brat. Your physical body right now is on par with a pinnacle Foundation establishment realm! It would be hard for you to control your strength as you leaped so suddenly and might take a while to adjust yourself to your newfound strength." explained the old man with an unfazed reaction.
Hearing this, Duan Li was quite thrilled! To think that his physical body tempering right now had advanced so much! If he cultivate right now, would he be able to reach the pinnacle straight away?
At the thought of this, Duan Li was quite tempted to cultivate immediately. But, looking at their solemn faces at the moment, he could only push his thoughts aside as he prepared himself to explain.
"It's actually like this..."
Duan Li began explaining to them that when he reached the bottom of the lake, he heard a calling from an old man with an ancient robe. Unable to resist the calling, he approached the old man as the latter suddenly tapped at his forehead and a surge of spiritual Qi entered his body as well as being assaulted with terrible pain.
He then told them that he fainted shortly after, and when he came to, he was already there on the ground between them, not knowing anything that had transpired when he fell unconscious before.
The duo showed a suspicious expression when they heard this, unable to believe his story one hundred percent. This is because, such strength would only be possible due to the help of a treasure. But it was understandable, if one were to have the affinity of such a lucky encounter that would boost their strength and realm by many folds, naturally, one had to keep it a secret.
If the duo right now were not of a higher realm than him, they would've been tempted to steal whatever treasure it is that Duan Li got. After all, such things were of utmost rarity in the whole world. Thankfully, such a treasure would be useless for them now as it was only something for the mortal.
If the treasure was something very heaven-defying, Duan Li's cultivation states would have reached at least the first shackle. Now that, might have tempted them.
Taking the other party's explanation with a grain of salt, they just nodded and put the matter at the back of their head. They also did not mention to Duan Li about the bizarre strength he had displayed previously or that chaotic scene.
In their minds, that could've been connected with the powerful existence behind his back!
"Well, no matter! Now with your physical body and realm like this, the maze would not be able to stop you at all." said the old man as he sighed.
Duan Li had broken every sorts of convention that they could think off.
The old man then continued with a stern look "However, you would do best not to decimate the third maze. Otherwise, if I found it to be destroyed, even if you were to run away back to the Tian continent, I could still chase you and beat up your bottom!"
Gulp!
"Y-yes! Please be rest assured Lord Guardian! I will try my best to keep everything intact!" replied Duan Li with a confident look.
The hairs of the old man stood on end as he saw that confident look of Duan Li. The last time the other party did that, all sorts of crazy phenomena happened! Even the thunder tribulations from the heavens were not spared!
To the cosmic being out there, I hope you can shelter my region away from harm by this brat!
"So, I guess things here are done? I better be on my way back to the ninth region now!" said the mother wolf as she turned towards her cub.
"You be good now yeah? Mother has to leave. The human will take good care of you!"
Arrff! Arrff!
The mother wolf then licked the head of her cub gently as she cast one last look at her cute, small child. Stretching her back like an arrow about to be released from its bow, she dashed forward with an explosive momentum from the get-go!
Boom!
Her figure dashing through the air was so fast that small thunders were discharged from her body. Furthermore, the speed at which she was moving right now could not be compared to when she brought along Duan Li before. It only took a while before her figure entirely disappeared into the horizon.
"So fast..." Duan Li said subconsciously.
"Naturally. The speed previously when she brought you along was extremely slow that she had to increase her speed slowly to find how much your body could handle. Otherwise, if she moved at the speed at which she is going right now, you would have long turned into a mangled corpse!" explained the old man with a sneer as he clasped his hands behind his back, seeming to be proud at how strong they are.
Duan Li then picked up the sad lonely cub on the ground as he tucked the cub closely inside his clothes, with its head sticking out. He then patted its head with a gentle smile.
"Well, let us go to the entrance of the third maze then! Stand behind my back!" the old man continued.
Duan Li then moved to stood behind the back of the old man as the latter muttered a skill art.
'Mystic arts: Shadow binding!'
Woongg!
The old man's shadow extended and merged with Duan Li's shadow as the latter soon felt his body to become stiff and rigid, akin to an unmoving mountain!
Furthermore, his hands moved without his will as they both clasped behind his back, mimicking the old man. His expression also became indifferent and haughty.
They now look like a pair of matching old socks together no matter where one would look at.
Hupp!
With a single leap, both of their figures abruptly vanished from where they stood.
Whooshh!
