The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 41 — Third Round of Daffodil Conference (5)
Lian Haocun replied, “We will rest. Are you cold?”
Lian Haocun did not feel cold, yet he worried about Lian Huanran without her noticing. Lian Huanran shook his head then started to close his eyes. Lian Huanran quickly went to dreamland.
The atmosphere became quiet, Chao Bence who had been talking a lot shut his mouth tightly while Lian Haocun started cultivating.
Chao Bence, who could not speak to anyone, also began to turn a blind eye, but Chao Bence was so vigilant that if there were dangerous movements around, he would be able to handle it.
The night passed peacefully. The moon was replaced by the sun rising from the east. Lian Huanran woke up quite early in the morning and started preparing to cook. The real Chao Bence not falling asleep at all immediately disturbed Lian Huanran who was busy cooking.
While Lian Haocun remained cultivating regardless of the commotion around him.
After the food was ready, the cultivating Lian Haocun opened his eyes and joined the meal with Lian Huanran and Chao Bence. Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran were recovering a lot of Spiritual Energy and Qi through the flesh of magical beasts that had a lot of nutrients.
Then Lian Haocun, Lian Huanran and Chao Bence immediately headed upstairs with the help of Chao Bence.
From above, the Mortinta Gorge is still seen shrouded by thick fog. Lian Huanran asked, “What will we do now?”
Chao Bence turned his gaze to the expressionless Lian Haocun the entire time.
Lian Haocun replied, “Search for more symbols. Then find Tang Yelu and Wu Shilin. Dan, you,”
Lian Haocun turned his gaze from the Canyon to Chao Bence and warned Chao Bence, who was,
“Do not interfere with our fight. Unless our lives are in fatal danger.”
Chao Bence replied in a joking tone, “Alright... Alright... In order to fulfill my request, you must become stronger. No way no, I'm blocking you..”.
Lian Haocun did not pay attention to Chao Bence anymore and started walking away from the Mortinta Gorge.
Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran walked towards the West followed by Chao Bence.
After walking for a few minutes while sometimes wiping out magical beasts on the way, suddenly the crows flew as if trying to get away from something and give a warning.
While Chao Bence grinned widely for some reason. Lian Huanran who was talking to Chao Bence saw Chao Bence grinning, for some reason his heart was filled with an unpleasant premonition.
Sure enough, the growl of a magical beast sounded from above the tree. Then an orange-yellowish-skinned leopard with black spots all over its body lunged to the ground right where Lian Haocun stood before.
“Luckily Brother has good reflexes. Otherwise, maybe Big Brother has been crushed by the leopard's weight.” Thank goodness Lian Huanran while sighing in relief.
While Chao Bence had already disappeared somewhere, it seemed like he was searching or had even found a place to watch the fight.
The leopard was a level four magical beast that was equivalent to Foundation Building stage 9. Not only that the leopard is known for its superiority in speed.
Lian Haocun felt something strange, according to the book he read, leopards are magical animals that actively hunt at night.
The leopard immediately attacked Lian Haocun while moving from one place to another. Because the leopard was too fast, in a short time Lian Haocun's body was filled with scratches from the leopard's claws were quite sharp.
Meanwhile Lian Huanran began attacking the leopard with the red fire arrow technique although none of it hit the leopard because the speed of the leopard dodged too fast. This made Lian Huanran feel inferior again.
Neither Lian Haocun's eyes nor Lian Huanran's could follow the leopard at all. Lian Huanran felt a bit panicked in his heart let alone the small injuries on Lian Haocun's body increasing constantly.
Lian Haocun decided that using a sword would not be of much use, so he used his fire element. The temperature around him became higher.
Chao Bence who was watching in the distance was somewhat surprised, he did not know that the element Lian Haocun had risen his article when Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran tried to penetrate the invisible protector Chao Bence, who was the only one in the world, they did not use any elements at all, but after thinking about it Chao Bence felt that it was natural, after all,
‘However they are descendants of that ancient race that is extinct.... There is no way they will be ‘ mediocre’ only.’
The leopard, knowing that Lian Haocun's fire is dangerous, turns its target to Lian Huanran, who is on a tree branch. Quickly, the leopard lunged towards Lian Huanran who was at a fairly high altitude.
Lian Huanran felt panicked yet he immediately tried to protect himself by enveloping his body using Spiritual Qi as a result of Lian Huanran's Spiritual Qi was greatly drained.
But it proved useful because Lian Huanran's small body did not crumble under the lunge of the male leopard, but some injuries and bruises were seen on Lian Huanran's body and Lian Huanran's body had some dust with green leaves from the tree which made it look a bit dirty.
All of that happened in just a few seconds so that Lian Huanran could not react to the leopard attack which was arguably very fast. Moreover, Lian Huanran was not Lian Haocun who had a 'crazy' pace of relaxation'.
Lian Haocun rushed towards Lian Huanran and checked on him, his heart filled with a feeling of worry that he had never felt before.
While the leopard that disappeared shortly after successfully lunging at Lian Huanran had already started attacking Lian Haocun again, it did not give Lian Haocun the slightest break.
An irritated Lian Haocun began to look for a way in his mind to defeat the leopard, as he had no area attacks nor a way to render the leopard immobile, Lian Haocun was unable to find any way.
‘What fire element can not be attack area?’ Inner Lian Haocun, previously Lian Haocun did not have time to experiment with his fire element so he did not know how to use his fire element properly.
Lian Haocun tried to let the fire element residing within his body run wild. As the air temperature became extremely hot, the injured Lian Huanran was quite heavily sweating from the unbearable heat.
While the leopard tried to get away from Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran due to the heat but Lian Haocun did not let it go at all. Lian Haocun quickly got to where the leopard was and used the first movement of the Blue Lotus Movement Scroll.
The leopard also tried to attack Lian Haocun, but Lian Haocun suddenly disappeared and the leopard lost Lian Haocun.
Soon the leopard's body had some injuries. A sharp and powerful Spiritual Qi flowed through every stab that landed on the body of the leopard especially at the fourth part of the leopard's legs. This makes the speed of the leopard reduced drastically.
The leopard that had originally underestimated its opponent because on the surface Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran were just like Foundation Building stage 1 felt even more furious.
The leopard immediately released the fourth level magical beast pressure aimed at Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran. That pressure did not have too much of an effect on Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran, however yesterday they had just sensed the pressure of a level eight magical beast.
The four people who were originally hiding from afar while watching the fight Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran came out from their hiding places because according to the four people, the situation of Lian Haocun and Lian Huanran was superior to that of a leopard. A loud applause was heard during the warm day.
