บท 36: Scared?
"If you think simple poison is enough to stun him for more than two seconds, then you are completely wrong and he wouldn't have stand still even with poison if i were to-" Nie Yong was interrupted by a sudden surge of Qi now already far behind them "Nie Yong, i'll kill you and that crippled bitch of yours!!!!"
...
In the Valley Seams
"Hurry! They couldn't have gotten far!"
"They must be close!"
Long Zian Tian's underling were searching anywhere Nie Yong and his partners, but couldn't find them, until they heard a movement in the bushes "That way! There's movement over there!"
...
Meanwhile, up in the trees
"Phew... they're finally gone" Nie Yong was finally relieved their pursuers left, deceived by him throwing a rock to the bushes, making noises of movement
Then, his eyes focused on his almost fainted woman, "Are you fine, Chang'er?"
"Yes, i just-" but then her words were shut by a sharp pain "Ahhh!"
"What's wrong, Chang'er?!"
"What's wrong, sister Xia?!"
Nie Yong and Yang Jia were worried as Xia Ning Chang couldn't even stand with her own leg anymore "I have a medicine with me-"
Nie Yong didn't let her talk anymore, as he didn't want her to use her last remaining energies to speak, that he already took the pill from her bag and gave it to her with a kiss.
"Please recover, my love" he thought as he watched her beutiful face sleeping.
...
After an hour
A powerful purple aura was covering the meditating Xia Ning Chang, slowly disappearing as she started opening her eyes.
"Are you alright now, Chang'er?" Nie Yong had been eagerly waiting for her to wake up
Xia Ning Chang's mouth corners rose as she saw her love "Yes, darling, i just won't be able to fight for a while"
"I'm glad that you are fine!!" Yang Jia immediately broke the romantic mood out of jealous, taking Xia Ning Chang's hands in hers
"Yes, sister Jia..." the veiled girl was now visibly annoyed.
"Then, if you are fine now, why don't we escape the forest now" Yang Jia wanted to flee from this dangerous place and as Xia Ning Chang wanted to answer her question, Nie Yong preceded her "We can't."
"Eh? Why?!"
"Because even if we wanted, it's not possible. See, when Chang'er activated the array, she sealed this valley away from the external world"
"What?!!!" Yang Jia was shocked to know that she couldn't escape this terrible place.
"Darling" Xia Ning Chang stared intensely at her husband with curious eyes "How do you know those things? You knew about the array even before i placed it!"
"Ehm..." Nie Yong scratched his head as he started thinking about an excuse to told Xia Ning Chang "Your master told me while he was drunk"
"Ah, i see" the girl seemed to have believed that "Then, what are we gonna do now?"
"I'm gonna beat their asses, obviously" Nie Yong stood up, seeming confident about what he said.
"Are you crazy? You nearly died once! I don't want to become a widow at such a young age!"
"Yes, i also don't want my new master to die so quickly!"
The two girl couldn't believe what he just said. How could someone, who was nearly killed with a single hit, whip their asses?
"Don't worry, girls" Nie Yong clenched his fist, smiling "I never said that I would directly fight them"
...
In the Valley Seams, Long Zian Tian's underlings
"Hey guys, i think we should divide to find him faster" one of the underling proposed.
"No! Have you seen how strong that Nie Yong was! He was able to take boss' hit and survive! How even could one of use take him down alone?!" Another one of them feared the fact of facing that guy alone.
"What are you scared of, Xiao Li? That guy is at the Initial Element, the other girl is seriously injured and the other one is a crippled commoner? Are you perhaps a p*ssy to be scared of weakling like that?"
"I'm not scared, it's just that-" and just like that all of them disappeared, leaving him all alone. But little did they know that they should have listened to him.
...
"I'm not a p*ssy" the underling named Xiao Li was searching for Nie Yong "I'll prove it to them by capturing him and his-"
But his words were interrupted by a hand passing through his heart "Welcome to the donut club"
"Why didn't they listen to me?" And then Xiao Li fell lifeless to the ground.
[Would you like to copy Xiao Li's abilities?]
"His abilities better be useful or my hand got all bloody for nothing"
[Copying...]
[The copy has been successfull!]
[The host has gained Heavenly Talent in Mace Dao!]
[The host has gained the Special Physique, Metal Elemental Body!]
[The host has gained the Yang Eating Secret Art!]
"..." Nie Yong was speechless "...shit... how could someone as weak as him have a Special Physique?!"
"That's why when I made a hole in his body, it felt like punching the iron"
"System, show me the physique"
[Metal Elemental Body]
[This special physique is the most unique among the Five Elemental Bodies, as it can, apart from greatly strenghtening the body and multiplying the individual's talent in the Metal Dao, evolve by eating metals.]
"This body really is-" as he was euphoric about his new physique, an excruciatingly pain rose in his body "D-does this have to h-happen every time"
[Merging the Special Physique...]
[The merge has encountered obstacles! The recostruction of the body will be much more painful and longer!]
...
After a couple of minutes
[The assimilation of the body has been completed!]
[The host has reached the 8th Stage Initial Element!]
...to be continued

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, even though it is a bit shorter than usual.
I opened a youtube channel @STNovels809, check it for more information about the novel and the cover, which was changed due to the vote there.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: When I was a kid, i never watched any kind of anime, read any mangas or book, but one day, Dragon Ball made me start doing so. So, when I came to know about it's father's death yesterday, my heart closened a bit, even though i never met him. Thanks for the amazing adventure that you gave to all of us, for the laughs that you gave us and for teaching us to never give up.
Thanks for all, Sensei Akira and I hope you are having a good time there, in Heaven.
I hope all of you are having a good and awesome day.
