บท 66: Encounter.

A/N : So here's the new chapter folks. I'm really sorry for not posting any new chapters for so long.

I was very busy these few days, and as this is a new volume where it would be mainly about Tang Ming's encounter, I was thinking of how to continue and where to take the story.

Now, I've already thought of where to take the story and will be posting new chapter regularly in between each day.

Any suggestions reviews and comments are appreciated either good or not. Now I'm out.

Your Allfather Author-PrimorDious. Peace Out ✌️.

*****************************

After leaving the Shrek Academy, Tang Ming was making his way toward the Star Dou forest, as that was the best place to train himself and become more powerful in a short period. He was also going to try to break his physical limit at least once before reaching level 40.

While flying upon his spear, Tang Ming didn't stop anywhere and continue to move directly toward the forest.

After a few hours of flying upon the spear, Tang Ming reached the entrance gate of the forest. He immediately teleported himself at the Battle Saint Ape's place.

…...

"Hm, my Illusion is still in place. Looks like no one trespassed here for now or even if they did, they didn't find the illusion." Tang Ming appeared right below the tree where Battle Saint Ape used to reside. He immediately used his Divine Sense to scan all his surrounding. His Divine Sense now can easily scan everything in 350m in all the direction.

Everything was the same as before and it didn't even look like the spirit beast around here had found about the Battle Saint Ape's death. Tang Ming too didn't want to destroy the peace of this place.

Tang Ming too didn't want to be disturbed so he immediately used his second spirit ring skill. A deep black ring rose up from his feet and hovered around him as he casted an illusion of Battle Saint Ape sleeping right beneath the tree and making it impossible for any beast to see and sense him.

After doing all the necessary preparation. He sat on one of the branches of the tree and started mediating.

While Tang Ming was meditating, he also kept looking through all his memories and sorted out all of his thoughts.

"I need to break my physical limit as soon as possible and then breakthrough to level 40." Tang Ming mused to himself.

On that day, he didn't do anything except meditating and building himself a nice cosy place atop the large tree for living. He was going to live here in the Star Dou forest for at least one year, can't have himself sleeping on the ground everyday.

The next day, after waking up he went toward the small stream that flow in 'his' territory and washed himself. After putting on simple training clothes, he started quickly making his way toward the inner periphery of the Star Dou forest in search of his prey for breakfast.

"There you are." Tang Ming had kept his Divine Sense active all the time and quickly managed to find a thousand year old wild boar.

"Thunderstorm Strike!"

A deep purple ring rose from Tang Ming's feet as he thrusted his spear. Tens of spear with purple lightning circulating all over appeared beside him and was launched toward the wild boar.

'Swoosh!'

The thousand year old boar was skewered to death before he can even comprehend what happened.

Well, it has to be mentioned that while using [Godspeed] Tang Ming himself can reach an extremely high speed of mach 5 and the speed at which his spear attacked when he used [Thunderstorm Strike] is exactly double.

So an extremely powerful attack launched at the speed of mach 10 can even deal with more than ten thousand year old spirit beast with extreme defense much to say of a thousand year old one.

After putting away the spear at his back, Tang Ming carried the spirit beast back to his territory and simply barbecued it. Even though he didn't know much about cooking, he atleast know some simple and crude method to cook food.

"Thank god, I brought enough salt and spices." He had prepared everything he might need while living in the Star Dou forest.

After the meat was cooked to a golden brownish colour, Tang Ming also took out a jade bottle which contained Monkey Sage Wine and started eating while keep gulping some wine in between.

After finishing his meal, he stood up and stretched as he looked at certain direction. The first priority of his is to break his limit and that can only be done by doing heavy weights training or fighting spirit beast more powerful than him.

As of now he can fight and defeat spirit beast of 30,000 years old. And can defeat beast atmost of 50,000 years while using everything he have including his spirit bone abilities.

The one thing to notice is that, it's harder for Tang Ming to defeat a spirit beast more powerful than him but it's quite easy for him to kill them. For example, with his [Chasing Thunder], he can even kill a spirit beast of seventy thousand year old. But yes, after that he'll be too exhausted to even stand, as using [Chasing Thunder] required a very huge amount of spirit power and he'll be left depleted.

But his main objective is to fight them instead of killing them. Even though he didn't care much about what happens to spirit beast, he didn't want to unnecessarily slaughter them.

After searching for sometime, he found a spirit beast that is very suitable for him to fight. It was a Double Horned Flame Rhinoceros of about fourty thousand years, who has both good offense and defense. The rhinoceros looked extremely ferocious and more so because of its flaming horns and hooves. Even it's whole body had a tint of red mixed.

Tang Ming didn't immediately attack but quietly came closer to the Rhinoceros. After coming in hundred metre of the beast, it suddenly turned around and looked at him.

'Shit..!'

Tang Ming knew that he made a mistake and underestimated the beast senses. He immediately took out the spear from his back and got in stance.

"ROOAARRRR..!"

It immediately became enraged after seeing Tang Ming as it roared. It raised up both of his front hooves and stomped the ground causing a quake and ran toward him while jerking his head in anger.

Just as the rhino was going to hit him, Tang Ming dodged it's attack as he vanished from his place and appeared few metres left to the rhino.

The flaming rhino seeing that its target had dodged it attack, glared at Tang Ming and once again charged toward Tang Ming, who evaded it's attack once again.

This keep going on for a while, until the flaming rhino exhausted himself. It looked at the human with anger in its eyes but can't do anything.

"What!? You already tired, you dumb beast." Tang Ming smirked as he looked at the flaming rhino with provocation.

After a spirit beast reached ten thousand year old mark, it would start to develop intelligence but the intelligence would be only at the level of infant, only those few with rare bloodlines would develop fast.

Even though the flaming rhino has reached fourty thousand year old, it's intelligence hadn't developed much. It immediately roared and became enraged because of Tang Ming's provocation and charged at him.

Tang Ming all this time was testing his movement technique [Kunpeng Leaping the Nine Realm]. But this time seeing that the rhino was charging straight at him, he got in the stance.

The rhino too was overjoyed seeing that the human this time didn't look like he was going to dodge. It immediately lowered his head and charged toward the human as its both horn started releasing immense heat. This time he was going to make sure that the human died.

Tang Ming seeing this also activated his [Godspeed] and too charged straight toward the beast. When they were just a few metres away from each other, Tang Ming jumped suddenly and swung his spear in a roundsweep manner and hit the rhino at his back sending it flying as a light cut can be seen the place where the spear hit.

The flaming rhino was now utterly enraged as it looked at Tang Ming with bloodshot eyes. Even though the attack didn't manage to hurt him, it still made him furious.

Tang Ming knew that if he kept playing with the rhino, he would be injured.

So he immediately used his third spirit ring.

"Battle Saint Transformation!"

A dark black coloured suddenly rose up from his feet as a heavy pressure descended. Tang Ming's body become to rapidly enlarge as he become 3m tall, his upper clothes started to tear as his chiseled body came in view. A white light of energy enveloped him giving him a feeling of enormous strength.

He immediately put away his spear as the bronze coloured gauntlets suddenly appeared on both of his arm covering it whole.

Suddenly seeing the human transform to a giant, the flaming rhino hesitated but still attacked.

"Come, Your Granddaddy, I, will fucking pummel you in the ground." Tang Ming too simply ran toward the charging rhino barehanded.

Before the rhino can even attack, Tang Ming pulled his hand back and clenched his fist as he punched directly at the head of the charging rhino, making it stumble backward. Tang Ming's pure physical strength is more than 60,000 kgs and after using 'Battle Saint Transformation' his strength is amplified by three time.

His strength immediately reached more than 150,000kgs of strength. You can guess how much power his punch contains.

Without giving even the rhino the chance to regain his balance, Tang Ming launched a barrage of attack all over its body. He kept punching the rhino everywhere. He also pummeled the rhino with his legs. He kept beating and punching the rhino.

"Growlll..!' This was the first time in its life that it was beaten so badly. The gaze which he used to look at Tang Ming turned from anger to fear.

"And the last.." Tang Ming got to the back of the rhino and hugged him from behind with both of his hands while bending his knees as he exerted all his strength

"Supplex..City!!"

'BOOMMM...!

A huge boom sounded as every beast in a few kilometres became startled. The flaming rhino can be seen laying half-conscious as all the earth around him cracked like spiderweb.

"Phew! That felt awesome. I really like the feeling of punching and pummeling opponents in the ground." After beating the rhino half-unconscious, he quickly dusted himself and started slowly walking away.

But he suddenly stopped and turned around.

"I'm not going to kill you. So, you don't need to run away." Tang Ming said while grinning as he continued, "And yes, I'll be coming tomorrow again."

The rhino after hearing this immediately became unconscious. Tang Ming seeing this laughed as he walked back to his place and continue to cultivate.

He also found some large heavy stones and carried them back to his place for doing workout.

Like this two month passed. Tang Ming continued to fight against spirit beast of between 40,000-50,000 years of age. He now have garnered quite a reputation among high leveled spirit beast around his territory as quite a few beasts knew that there lived a terrifying human somewhere around here who will fight them and beat them until they became unconscious.

Tang Ming too had broke his limits and had reached level 40, with the help of the clear stream of energy that the 'Meteoric Tear' provided. His divine sense range had also increased from 350m to 500m in all directions.

He now was ready to hunt for his fourth spirit ring. While he was pondering about what type of spirit ring ability he would need, some distance away from his place, a person can be seen fleeing at high speed.

A huge tiger like spirit beast who was fully white in colour was pursuing the person with bloodshot eyes. A baleful aura also kept releasing from his body.

As soon as they entered the illusion created by Tang Ming, he immediately sensed them. He activated his Divine Sense to find two beings 'intruding' upon his land.

The two were a human and a beast. The human looked like a young male of 17-18 year old. He has golden blonde hair with an exceedingly handsome face. He has snow white skin with slightly slender phoenix eyes. He also has an aura of dignity around him though his current expression looked grim.

The beast was known to Tang Ming as he had fought with it quite a few times. Guessing from what happened, Tang Ming came to the conclusion that either the guy attacked the white tiger or the tiger was hungry.

He immediately disappeared from his place as he appeared right in front of the beast and stomped. His stomp made both the beast and the human to stop and look at him.

"Hmph, looks like you need a beating, dumb white." Tang Ming said with arrogance.

Yes, this was the name he gave to the tiger. He also gave quite a few of them name whom he regularly fought.

Suddenly seeing the madman in front of him, the white tiger immediately became stunned and remembered just where he had arrived. Every beast in the surrounding periphery knows the area where the madman lives as it is a danger zone for all of them. Even though they won't die when they encountered him but it'll not be very far from that outcome.

The white tiger didn't even thought for a second and immediately turned around and fled.

The person standing there just looked at this scene with wide eyes as this is something inconceivable. He then carefully looked at the man, standing in front.

The young man was wearing nothing but a black trouser and is barechested. He had long platinum coloured hair, flowing with the wind and his whole chiseled body looked like it was sculpted in furnace.

Tang Ming noticing the gaze and looked at the person with a smile as he said, "Now, you don't need to fear that tiger. You should be careful when roaming in the forest."

The young man was dazed as he looked at Tang Ming's smile. The silver eyes with golden ring looking at him made him feel like nothing was hidden away from him. A slight tinge of blush can be seen on the face of the blond haired young man when he looked at the naked chest of Tang Ming.

He hurriedly regained his composure as he immediately said, "Thank you for your help. I have been being pursued by the beast for quite sometime. My name is Xue Qinghe. I'm the crown prince of Heaven Dou Empire. Can I know what is your name?"
