"The Lightning Technique - Thunderbolt Slash."
"Ice Techniques - Freezing Swords."
Jiu Rui and Qiao Lin released their energies attacking Ho Chen, the two of them were practicing a match with Ho Chen.
"Illusion Techniques - Dimensional Mirrors."
Ho Chen stomped his palm to the ground, appearing around the Three Giant Mirrors standing face to face each corner forming a triangle.
The two energy attacks from Jiu Rui and Qiao Lin hit the extremely thick Mirror then the energy bounced onto its windshield and continued to spin until both energies disappeared by themselves.
"Sister, you're cheating..!." Jiu Rui said in an annoyed tone. Whereas Qiao Lin was just silent, he had a different understanding to Jiu Rui.
Ho Chen simply smiled as he stepped towards Jiu Rui. "In a fight, every means must be done to survive otherwise you may die. If one day you were facing an opponent stronger than you, what would you do?."
Jiu Rui thought for a moment, Ho Chen's enlightenment according to him was against the rules of his Sect, but if you think again, indeed Ho Chen's words had a point.
"If I meet a stronger enemy, maybe I'll figure out a way to defeat him by cheating." Jiu Rui said.
Ho Chen nodded, Ho Chen himself had already experienced it when fighting Zhu Wang of one of the Iron Chain groups, back then he still did not understand and fought sportively. So Zhu Wang used a sneaky way to injure him. Since that incident Ho Chen began to learn, there was no honest word in the fight as it concerned life and death.
"Sister, your lightning energy is still immature, you are focusing too much on the attacker. You better focus on gathering energy in one point and just let go, here's an example!."
Ho Chen picked up Jiu Rui's sword then flowed the lightning energy into the tip of his sword, after gathering at the tip, the energy spread throughout the sword so that the sword became bright.
"The Lightning Technique - Thunderbolt Slash."
Ho Chen swung his sword at the enormous rock that was far enough away from him, the lightning energy that Ho Chen unleashed shot out and smashed him to smithereens.
Jiu Rui looked enthusiastic, if she were to use it it might only be able to make the stone crack. Ho Chen himself used his energy which was equivalent to the strength that belonged to Jiu Rui.
Qiao Lin himself also listened to her, Ho Chen felt there was no mistake with Qiao Lin so as not to reprimand her.
"Sister let me try it." Jiu Rui said with passion.
Ho Chen handed his sword back to Jiu Rui and allowed Jiu Rui to try it out.
Jiu Rui tried to follow Ho Chen's way, he tried to focus all of his energy onto the tip of the sword. The longer his energy accumulated and enlarged but not as big as Ho Chen's.
With the instructions from Ho Chen, Jiu Rui instantly unleashed his Energy into a deadly attack.
"The Lightning Technique - Thunderbolt Slash."
Since there were no big stones to try, Jiu Rui released his energy slash onto the large wood in front of him. Lightning energy slashes hit the wood until it was burned by its lightning.
Ho Chen nodded, although the energy released by Jiu Rui was unable to split the large wood in half, but the energy released increased higher than before.
Jiu Rui jumped into the excitement, now she was one step ahead. While Ho Chen was also happy to see it even though no words came out.
"Rest first, we'll resume our journey soon." Said Ho Chen.
They would arrive at the village in a third of a day, so they would arrive there before nightfall.
They resumed their journey after feeling well rested.
On the way to the village, Jiu Rui told Ho Chen that the high mountain in front of him was the Mist Curtain mountain.
Ho Chen continued to stare at the top of the mountain, indeed the top of the mountain was visible, but to be able to arrive there it still seems to take another week or two to arrive at the top of the Mist Curtain mountain.
In the afternoon, they finally arrived at the Fog Curtain village. The village almost resembles a city because the building is large.
Ho Chen could sense that this Village had many warriors, more precisely as the Village of the warriors.
Almost all the inhabitants of the village are warriors, and the rest are just ordinary humans. Ho Chen could sense if the Fog Curtain Village also had some Natural Level whiz living in the village.
The three of them were both wearing masks, while Qiao Lin was wearing black so as not to recognize his clothes. They look for lodging first before going to find a restaurant.
"Welcome, can I help you?." A 30-year-old maid greeted them at the entrance of the inn.
This inn is the largest inn in the Mist Curtain Village and the price is certainly not cheap considering this inn is so big and luxurious, at least that was what Qiao Lin and Jiu Rui thought.
"Mrs, we need two rooms." Ho Chen said to the woman who greeted him. Ho Chen could feel the energy radiated from the woman who was at Peak Earth Level 4 and slightly more breaking through to Sky Level.
"Of course there is a master, but the remaining rooms are ordinary, while the large rooms are all filled, do you not mind?." Ask the waiter who feels bad if he does not tell you in advance about the room to be rented.
"As long as we can stay, it doesn't matter!." Said Ho Chen.
"Then, come with me!." Take the waiter and walk and be followed by the three of them.
Ho Chen and Jiu Rui entered his room, and Qiao Lin's room was next to the two of them. The waiter explained that the two-room rental price was only five pieces of silver per night.
Ho Chen nodded and paid one gold coin. Ho Chen explained if he planned to stay for a few nights so as not to ask back from the rest of his coins.
The waiter immediately said goodbye because there were still customers to take care of and left Ho Chen and Jiu Rui. Before leaving, the maid handed the room key to Qiao Lin and Ho Chen.
After cleaning the body, the three of them went out from the inn to find a nearby restaurant, before they could find a restaurant, Ho Chen met with people he knew, I haven't seen that person in a long time and have now met him again. A 45-year-old man and one of his arms is stumped, he is helping some elderly women who have trouble lifting things.
"Senior Gou, long time no see!." Ho Chen greeted the person who turned out to be Gou Shen, the former leader of the Iron Chain group.
Gou Shen turned his head and narrowed his eyes as soon as he was greeted by Ho Chen. "Sorry, do we know each other?." Gou Shen asked, he did not recognize Ho Chen because Ho Chen was wearing a mask.
"May say so, if you're curious let's come with us later seniors will find out!." Said Ho Chen.
Gou Shen was a little wary and worried if this was a trap. "I'm sorry, I still have to help these people first, if there really is no other need with me, I'm sorry first." Gou Shen said then resumed his work.
Ho Chen smiled widely behind his mask, his decision not to kill Gou Shen turned out to be very appropriate, because he had really changed.
Ho Chen then went back on his journey to find a restaurant that turned out not far from where Gou Shen was.
Gou Shen himself glanced at Ho Chen and tried to remember when he had met the masked young man. But never succeeding, he plans to investigate once his affairs are complete.
