Chapter 43: 43
The group traveled for half a day before finally setting up camp.
“We will camp here for tonight,” said the mustached man. “We'll be out again tomorrow morning.”
“Hei John, come here” exclaimed Austin as he watched John leave. John turns around and joins Austin at the campfire.
“What's up?” ask John.
“This, eat. I cooked and seasoned myself,” Austin said as he handed me a piece of grilled meat. The meat smelled delicious, and John felt quite hungry after a long day of traveling.
“Sure” John replied as he sat beside Austin and bit the meat.
“Lezat!” exclaiming John. He hurriedly bit the meat again, enjoying its deep taste.
“Haha right? If there's one thing I'm most good at, which is grilled meat” Austin replied with a laugh. He gave John another piece of meat before biting him himself.
While eating delicious meat, John heard Austin suddenly speak, “So, I have a very important question to ask you.” Austin had a serious expression on his face, causing John to become a little worried.
“What is it?” ask John. ‘He seems pretty serious now. I wonder what this is about? ‘
Austin paused for a few seconds before speaking once more. “My question is ... what kind of woman do you like?”
“Huhhh?” John almost fell off the log he was sitting on when he heard the question. He stabilized himself before astonishedly asking “What did you say?”
“I asked what type of women you like. Personally, I like beautiful women with nice, firm bottoms. You know, the one you can ..” Austin began enthusiastically describing all sorts of things. John just sat quietly, unsure how to respond.
After speaking for a few minutes, Austin stopped before asking again, “Come. You must have a favorite type. What's your type?”
John thought about it for a moment, and was surprised to find he had no answer.
‘I always focus on increasing my strength throughout my life, even before I can cultivate. I've never really chased a woman before. ‘
“To be honest, I don't know what my type is like,” replied John with a wry smile. He didn't know how to respond to that question.
“Huhh? Surely you must have a type? Everyone must have a type” Austin replied with a sly smile on his face.
John doesn't know how to respond. He really has no type, at least he doesn't know for sure because there hasn't been a girl that caught his attention.
Austin noticed John's awkward silence, at which point a serious expression appeared on his face. He stood up in style and stood in front of John. “If that's the case, just leave this to your brother Austin. I'm ‘
John could only smile wryly and chuckle at Austin's behavior, but a warm feeling crept into his heart. He began to see Austin increasingly as a random person and more like an older brother he never had.
“Sure, once we are done with this mission, you can teach me everything you know about picking up girl” replied John.
The happy Austin cheered loudly before sitting back beside John and embracing John's shoulder.
“Do not be afraid. When I finish teaching you, you will be able to get whichever girl you want,” Austin said with a mischievous grin on his face. John nodded his head as he bit another delicious piece of meat.
An hour passed before John finally decided to get up and practice the second form of the Myriad Annihilation Scythe as well as the third step of the Five Step Movement Technique. He left the group and walked for fifteen minutes to find a secluded spot in the forest to practice.
Bang out!
The dust is slightly kicked as John runs forward, releasing the first steps of the technique. While moving, John channeled the Qi from his dantian towards a new place at his feet and made a second move.
Quickly running forward, John once again channeled his Qi into his legs and tried to release the third step of the technique.
“Ahhh”
John fell forward after losing his balance. He stood up and cleaned up the dirt from his plain black robe before thinking about the mistake he had made.
‘With my essence cultivation in the middle Fog Creation realm now, I have enough Qi reserves to release this step. The problem is not the quality or quantity of Qi, it is the time. I was a little late to release my Qi to the third acupuncture point, and as a result I misstep and stumble. I have to make sure to set this time perfectly so that I can use it in battle. ‘
John prepared to release the technique again, but once again made a mistake on the third step and fell to the ground. John's voice crashing onto the ground continued for quite some time, and he had to change his robe once due to the accumulated dirt. Finally, two hours later, John managed to do the third step correctly.
“Success!” john shouted as he paused while panting.
‘The acceleration and speed of the third step was much faster than the second step, but the Qi requirement was quite brutal.’
John sat down and replenished his Qi reserves for the next hour before standing up once more. A dark black scythe suddenly appeared in his hand. It fell in his hand as he grasped it, but it was much less than before.
‘It feels a little lighter now that I have grown stronger in body essence and cultivation. Now for the Myriad Annihilation Scythe! ‘
‘This is somewhat similar to the Five Step Movement Technique where I have to set the second attack time perfectly after the first one. The momentum and strength left over from the first attack grew into the second attack, resulting in a stronger attack. Let's try. ‘
John took a wide position and focused his mind before swinging with all his might.
Che's!
A powerful beam of strength was emitted from the scythe as he swung it forward. The beam continued to walk for dozens of yards before crashing into the tree and cutting it in half.
Rotating completely after his first strike, John maintained the momentum of the first attack and swung his scythe with great force.
The explosion!
A small explosion of Qi appeared right in front of John, making him fall slightly backwards.
“Mistakenly time. Again!” john said as he once again tried to carry out the attack. After several attempts, John put away his scythe and sat down to focus on recovering his diminished Qi reserves.
‘I could feel that I was almost relented. I might succeed on my next attempt. ‘
An hour later, John was just about to stand up and try to attack once more as his eyes widened and he quickly ran to the side.
The explosion!
The Earth is shaken and a small crater is formed where John was just. As the dust began to settle, John heard a voice calling from a distance.
“Jejeje, you are not a bad boy. I thought you wouldn't be able to dodge the attack in time.” A man dressed in all black from head to toe approached John, his eyes glittering with a deadly light.
