Chapter 106 ELDER WUK
Meanwhile, in an unknown forest, Sean was now traveling towards the location of everyone.
He’s confident in Wuk’s intelligence and strength, they would definitely meet at the Core Zone and even if they didn’t, he can still find him with their connection.
"System, why am I feeling so dizzy right now?" He sits on one of the trees, pale face.
[Constantly using your connection via spiritual link drains the user of soul power, the greater the distance and the greater the number, the greater the consumption. The system suggest that the host only follow one contracted partner.]
He finally recognizes the problem, he rests for a short while before turning the connection between them but he’s surprised that he can’t turn it off.
"System, why can’t I turn it off?" He’s feeling weak.
[Beast World is currently trying to connect to the other contracted mystique creature, the host sent a message to every single one of them, unless they receive your message, the location marker will not be turn off.]
"You should have warned me earlier." He can’t help but smile bitterly.
Closing his eyes, he tries to shut down some of the function of his body and starts meditating.
He doesn’t know when the message will be received but he must keep going.
Travel for two hours, rest for one, he repeats this pattern for one whole week.
His appearance is now extremely pale, like he doesn’t have any blood left in his body.
The burden on his soul was too great, just as he was going to faint, a crisp sound can be heard.
[The message is received, turning off the map.]
He falls to the ground, seven days, he doesn’t know if the distance between them is great or not but at least, he doesn’t need to endure such torturous process.
"Let me rest, I hadn’t eaten anything ever since I was traveling." He starts huffing and puffing.
There were no mystique creatures present in the forest he was teleported to, confusing him.
He might not need to main his figure as he can use spiritual energy as a replacement for food but still, the feeling of eating something is driving him nuts.
"Where the hell even am I?" He complains as he lies there like a dead dog.
Suddenly, he frowns as he sense the forest becoming strange.
It wasn’t in an instant but it’s more like a prelude of something.
"Just like I thought, this forest is definitely hiding something."
He can’t even rest, dashing forward with his greatest speed, he leaves the place without looking back.
Another week passes by, during all this time, he forces his body to continue, after finally reaching a settlement, he sighs in relief.
Seeing a large number of people lining to enter, he joins them.
Listening to their discussions, he was surprised to learn that they’re traveling to this village because they wanted to go to the new town that had just level up.
There are no towns or villages back in their zone, the only way to survive was to gather in a city.
Following after them, he sees that the guards takes some cash from the people, when it’s his turn, he gave them the same amount as he saw the people are paying.
Hiding his face behind a cloak, the guards stares at him before letting him enter.
He was relieved, the first thing he does after entering was going to a restaurant and ordering a large meal.
Just as he was eating happily, the door was swung open loudly.
Then a man being followed by numerous attendants appears, he was walking like he owns the place.
He doesn’t care about him and continues on eating, he was starving even though eating really doesn’t matter anymore to him.
Plate after plate, the server was scared by his appetite.
Seeing her like this, he takes out some coins, showing that he can pay his meal.
The obnoxious group of people went to the upper floor, it seems that they are given a private room.
"Do you know who those guys are with young master Qin?"
"Yes, I heard from the guards that they are members of the Cloud Stepping Sect."
"What!? The Cloud Stepping Sect!? The sect that’s known for their great leg martial arts!?"
"Yes! Exactly that sect, I’ve heard that they’re one of the sect participating in the battle in the Core Zone! They’ll be representing this territory!"
Sean, who was listening stops, the words that he heard from the others was like a thunder in his ears.
Participants of the Core Zone! He was utterly shocked.
Not caring about the sect or whatnot, he devours the food on his table and pays the server girl.
Then, he went up to the upper floor, the guards frowns and tries to stop him but was knocked by him with one punch.
Looking at the rooms present in upper floor, he knocks on them one by one.
After knocking three times, he finally enters the right one.
Seeing someone rudely kicking the door open, those inside the door was shocked.
"What’s the big idea!? Do you know who I am!?" The man called young master Qin stands up and was about to have a fight with him when he just slaps him away.
"Tell me, are you guys really from Cloud Stepping Sect?" His voice might be calm but the three individuals feels like they’re face to face against a behemoth.
The most timid one of them nods her head, his eyes immediately lights up.
"Good! Bring me there!" Without waiting for them to resists, he grabs the three of them and drags them outside.
He knows that he shouldn’t cause such a commotion in a place that he has no knowledge about but he’s just too anxious.
"Halt!" The guards had already gathered after hearing about his action.
All of them are bronze rankers, together with them are their pet beasts.
"Move!" Killing Intent and Peerless Aura appears on his body, causing everyone to freeze.
Conqueror’s Will!
The guards and their pet beasts were unable to move.
Not caring about them, he turns to the three and asks.
"Which direction should we go?" He asks but his words doesn’t contain any threat, only anxiety.
"Young master, we need our pet beast." One of the three speaks.
"Let’s go get them." He nods his head, just as they were about to leave, another person enters.
"How brave of you to dare strut around my village." The man shouts with an awe aspiring presence.
"I’m in a hurry, so I just that you should hurry and make your move." He didn’t put him in his eye.
"So much in a hurry to die? Fine then! I’ll grant your wish! Prepare to take my Fang Strike!"
He then assumes a striking pose with his hands imitating claws, besides him were two mystique creatures, a creature that looks like a hybrid of a fox and a wolf and a hyena with wolf-like features.
He was surprised to see that a blood red aura appears on this man’s body.
No wonder why he’s so confident, it’s because he awakens an aura.
"Fang Strike!" The man charges towards him with his pet beast, intending to take him down with his strongest attack.
’Hahaha! Now suffer my wrath!’ As his attack lands, the man’s eyes widens in excitement, together with his pet beast.
He continues to stand there, unfazed.
Impenetrable Fortress
"That’s it? Well, what do I expect in a mere silver ranker?" He sighs before punching the three of them in quick succession, smashing their heads on the ground.
"Now that’s dealt with, let’s go take your pet beasts."
He calmly left but his action left everyone in a daze.
Their strongest looks like a weakling against him.
They went to the mansion of the person that he had just knocked out.
When the mystique creatures senses his power, they feels intimated.
The combination of both Peerless Aura and Charm.
Emperor’s Dominion!
"Riding these pet beasts of yours, how long will we reach your sect?" He turns to the three and asks.
"If we’re lucky, it’ll only take a month."
He’s speechless after hearing this.
The pet beasts of the three are all large crane, if it takes one month to return to their sect, then, it’s probably quite far.
"Regarding the battle in the Core Zone, when will your sect travel?" He can only change his question.
Hopefully, it’ll take them some time to prepare.
"They already left, traveling to the Core Zone with our sect guardian will take months if not years." One of them answers hesitantly.
"What!?" He was shaken, they already left, this douses his plan but at least the sect has knowledge on traveling to the Core Zone.
"You guys can leave, just give me a map." He turns to them, taking them with him will only drag him down.
The three was relieved, even though he isn’t hostile towards them, he’s still strong enough to kill them in an instant, being with a stranger with such strength terrifies them.
It was a simple map, he’s confused, the zone he was in has such advanced technology, why is this place so backward?
Shaking his head, he asks them some more questions, after getting the general gist of the surroundings, he left, causing the three to have a sigh of relief.
Traveling with his fastest speed, he left the place.
Using Dash and Speed Force, he travels so fast that under those of gold rank, not one notices him.
Using only one skill and an aura lessens his consumption and also give him some time to prepare in case anything happens.
While he finally found his way, back on the ship, the students and everyone else are now gathered in the deck.
"The situation is as follows, more than a hundred planners were killed, at least ten gold rankers were slain, eight students were killed, four from City Z2, three from City Z4 and one from City Z3."
The others clenches their fists hearing such numbers.
"There are also a couple of people missing, many of them were sent to unknown locations, including, the principal of City Z2, Sean from City Z5 and his pet beast Wuk, together with seven generals."
Just as they were sighing, Jasmine, Scorchy and Bun Bun starts jumping up and down excitedly.
Their sudden actions startled everyone, just as they were confused, Scorchy speaks.
"Master! Master calling!"
Instantly everyone turns to them with wide eyes.
"What happened!?" Those from City Z5 immediately swarms towards them.
Jasmine summons an illusion of Sean.
"Hello, Jasmine, it’s me, right now, I’m contacting you through our special link, protect my family and the others together with Scorchy and Bun Bun."
Tsu and the girls wants to cry, even after being sent to god knows where, he still concerned for their safety rather than himself.
"I don’t know where I’m currently at but as long as you stay together with the others, I can find where you are, you’re currently acting as my GPS tracker back to the ship, tell the principal to just go straight to the Core Zone, we’ll meet each other there."
Everyone cheers because of this great news, especially those from Zone Z, after all, he’s the hope of their entire zone.
Meanwhile, in another location, Wuk was lying down next to a couple of monkeys, all of them are beaten black and blue.
"I suggest that tomorrow, you guys wake up early, I’m going to continue training you." He casually said.
"What kind of an elder are you anyway? You look more beastly than us!" One of the monkeys that looks more human than Wuk complains.
There’s a drawback for becoming a beastman, the more humanoid you become, the stronger and smarter you get but the more difficult it is to use your innate abilities.
Oppositely, if you get more beastly, you also get stronger and you can use your bloodline skills and innate abilities more efficiently but you also get more tyrannical and murderous.
