Three days after the fight with the owlbear Tian Jie continued his journey. He always walked westward, but sometimes turned to find a safer and more comfortable path to take. He also often stops at rivers and water sources to rest relieving fatigue while cooking.
Currently Tian Jie was sitting cross-legged in a huge rock by the river. He was reading his status panel.

“it looks like this system does not fully use TRPG” rules
“ is different from TRPG where status points only increase in certain levels and have an upper limit of”
“This system will give me points every breakthrough to the next level”
“But it's weird if I break through but it doesn't get stronger”
Tian Jie then opened his spell panel.

Tian Jie had already trained up all the spells he had. His speed and use of his spell were more efficient than when fighting wolves and DIrewolves. Although he hoped not to encounter any more dangerous monsters, but how else was this world of cultivation. Cultivators must always be prepared to fight against danger to stay ahead in his cultivation.
The sun has started to fall from its highest position.
“Actually resume travel”
Tian Jie stuffed his belongings and stepped back towards the west, hoping that he would soon find the boundary of the forest. He had just walked for fifteen minutes and suddenly heard a bang. He looked to the right - left looking for the source of the sound.
“Hmm .., the direction is from behind the hill, do I have to check it”
He walked around the hill while settling - sump , I don't know what happened behind the hill he must be careful. Not long after he had approached the source of the sound and what was happening there was becoming clearer.
“There is a fight ahead, whether between fellow monsters or humans who are hunting monster”
“I expect the latter condition, I need information about this forest soon”
Tian Jie approached slowly while observing from afar. He stopped because he saw shadows and smoke from the fight.
From a distance of about a hundred meters was seen the fight of two individuals with human posture. One of them has a long tail. Due to feeling lacking a clear view Tian Jie moved back forward, of course by settling down - slowly.
After approaching over fifty meters Tian Jie could clearly see the state of the fight ahead.
One of the fighters was a beautiful girl with long black hair, wearing a sort of white cheongsam uniform with a red stripe. He held a short sword and a small shield. From her looks this girl was exhausted and almost fainted. His eyes looked non-luminous and half-closed.
Tian Jie observed the opponent of the girl, and was slightly surprised.
A human-like creature with two legs and two hands has a long tail like a lizard and a body full of green scales. He has a head and claws like a chameleon. He also used leather armor and carried a spear. Directing the spear he carried towards the hitan-haired girl while saying.
“Ckckck, You can no longer run little girl, obey me and you will be happy”
“hehehe, I don't know where the other fairy girl went, but ..”
The lizardfolk began to smile widely while narrowing their eyes. He pulled the spear he pointed at the girl and walked over in front of her.
“You base despicable creature .. KUH !”
The black-haired girl wanted to attack the lizardfolk but as soon as she stepped in, her body went limp. He fell down and was in a down position. Trying to stare at the lizardfolk, the girl looked up slowly.
“k-you .., What have you done ?”
Lizardfolk just smiled not answering the girl's question.
“hehehe I'm sure you'll tell me where your friend is after I play with you”
The black haired girl lowered her head back while biting her lips. His body felt weak, he was sure the poison in his body had only partially elicited the effect. He started to get scared and didn't know how else. The grip on his sword slipped and he lay to the ground. His consciousness had not disappeared but his gaze had already begun to weigh in.
The Lizardfolk came forward to reach the black haired girl. But exactly one meter before he reached the girl, a small flash flowed from within the forest towards him. He swiftly moved backwards avoiding the lightning and was only exposed to a slight shock flow that made his arm tingle.
“Wrap step (0)”
Tian Jie moved quickly and arrived beside the girl. He bowed and checked the condition of the black haired girl.
“Stay silent and use your spiritual energy to hold the poison inside your body” he whispered to the girl.
Tian Jie then picked up the sword lying on the ground.
“Shortsword yes, if there are two I can do dual wielding, but well, this is more mending than the kitchen knife I use now” Mumamnya.
After escaping from the tingling condition of the Lizardfolk put up the horses and raised his spear towards Tian Jie.
“Who are you ? And what was your purpose for coming here ?”
The lizardfolk were furious with Tian Jie's actions which blocked his pleasure. But he was also on high alert because the man in front of him had just struck him with lightning. For creatures in this world, especially wild creatures, lightning is the power of the sky.
Natural lightning occurs when there are dark clouds in the sky, but there is lightning that occurs when a cultivator is about to breakthrough into the realm of soul connection or above. The higher the level of cultivation that would be broken through the stronger the lightning that descended. This lightning was like a test for cultivators. This lightning is often called the lightning of heaven.
The lightning that many cultivators had conquered, had just been used by the men before the lizardfolk. Of course, it made him hesitant to have a direct confrontation. He tried to calm down and dig up information from the man in front of him.
‘Wooah,he says the mainstream questions from villain’
‘Do I have to play the position of the hero who will save this girl‘ muttered Tian Jie.
‘well, this will be a little exciting, I will try to play an overpower character that intimidates opponents’
Tian Jie slightly raised a smile on his mouth.
“Who am I is not important and my goal is none of your business”
He put on a fierce face while holding the sword blade in his hand. He looks cool but also a little embarrassing.
“This beautiful girl”
While pointing at the black haired girl who was half conscious.
“I want it”
Tian Jie attempted to intimidate the lizardfolk by activating the Lightning spark on his short sword.
Lizardfolk who saw the lightning on the sword slightly retreated and gulped his saliva but after holding back his doubts he spoke.
“I'm sorry sir, I was only ordered by the prince to capture him”
“If sir pleases, I can take you to the prince's place to speak directly”
Tian Jie was silent and thought for a moment then replied.
“Alright, but give the antidote to this girl first”
Tian Jie added to the momentum he exuded. The lightning on Tian Jie's short sword grew even bigger and now there was a hint of flames on his left hand that did not carry any weapons.
Lizardfolk who saw this again gulped his saliva and slowly nodded.
‘chuckles , I don't know what will happen but this is exciting’ Tian Jie laughed inwardly.
