Chapter 36: Forest of Despair 2
Sunlight tried to penetrate the forest but only cast shadows on the surface. The sound of wild beasts could be heard from afar, marking that those who entered this place were now in a realm where the law of the jungle was literally in effect. Aldrian stood on a tree branch, surveying his surroundings. He had been inside the forest for more than an hour and was nearing the inner section, moving at a mind-blowing speed that only an emperor stage cultivator could achieve.
Strangely, the spirits that everybody had warned him about were nowhere to be seen since he entered the outer section. "Maybe they are in the inner section?" he thought. Using his movement technique, which relied on wind energy to accelerate, he avoided teleporting to save his energy. This test also served as an experiment ground to check his limits. He reviewed his information:
---------------------------------
Aldrian Aster
Domain : The secret realm and Balin city
Age : 12 years
Cultivation : High Viscount
Current energy : (Replenishment mode) 240,124 (+5/s) || (Halt) 253,672 (+1.3/15m)
Energy needed for the next stage : 270,001
--------------------------------
"I have to be careful outside my domain, but my energy consumption is good despite using my movement technique and teleportation for more than an hour. 240,124 (+5/s)? So my energy replenishment speed is now 5/second? Well, that's quite fast. If only my cultivation speed could be as fast as this. And my original energy is 253,672 (+1.3/15m)? Then I can advance to peak viscount in a little more than 4 months." He pondered.
