Chapter 110: Seeking a Fight
“Sure, I don’t mind, but if it’s pressure to hone yourself is what you need, wouldn’t it be more effective for you to go alone? “ Li Lang replied.
“B-boss, it’s—”
Before Wei Ping could explain, Long Yi held up a hand to silence Wei Ping.
“I’ll explain. Rumors are spreading that some people have been targeting others outside. Those who are frustrated with their bottlenecks are lashing out. They may not be able to kill under the pocket realm’s watch, but injuring others could cause them to lose trial points as they spend time on recovery.”
“Targeting others, but what benefits does that give them?”
“That, I don’t know. Probably just venting their jealousy? Happens a lot back in my village even for minor things. That’s why I’ve gotten into my fair share of fights,” Long Yi grinned.
“I see. Anyway, what does it feel like to almost be at the next stage? I assume the jump from the sixth stage to the seventh stage isn’t the same as the one from third to fourth?”
“To be honest, I don’t feel anything different. It’s just that I have noticed myself retaining control of my Qi even when it loses contact with me. It may be for a split second, but I can feel it every time.”
The trio only talked a little while longer before they separated. They had set a time to meet up tomorrow and returned to their training.
It had been months since Li Lang had set foot outside of the mountain. He had been busy training his new spear art. This made him change up his plans and focus on preparing for the outing. It would be his first time testing out the Gliding Coil Spear Art in a real fight. He needed to make ample preparation.
That involved preparing the poisons. He felt it had a high affinity with his spear art, as it compensated for its lack of damage potential. It reinforced the notion that the artifact spirit operating the realm was watching. If he wanted to receive a technique relating to poisons, he would have to make liberal use of it.
The next morning, the trio set off without any issues. The verdant green forest greeted them along with the purple sky and yellow clouds.
