Chapter 56
In the forest, there were numerous treasures, and those that seemed to have time to chase after others with the intent to kill, either sick or had intense hatred as Wang had collected some things along the way, and since he had plans for them, did not consume them directly. Among them are mushrooms that seemed to release some fragrance even though raw. Not many people could resist it after all it had the effect of improving the spirit. The others in the forest probably also had some things accumulated from moving around the forest and thus being cornered by someone with some goods would also give him some reason to go all out with them.
Despite Wanting someone to put him in a life-and-death crisis, he was still vigilant as he wanted to face a situation that could give him a chance to survive out of ten not being complete without a way out.
In the forest, the most important lesson he has learned is to watch out for an ambush and humans are probably very good at this. Wang kept watch even when he was resting to avoid having to face such a situation and at the same time still dedicated himself to practicing since it was the only thing he could do, and the proper thing to do. Martial arts require one to be devoted otherwise it would be difficult to make progress in the end, regardless of how one\'s talent is, mastering skills and using them are very different things. The fact that he had his potential value increasing did not mean that he could have it easy while doing nothing as this would be no different from inviting one\'s own doom.
Internal energy in his body had also been fusing fast due to the fights he had over the period of four years in the forest and at the same time, the spear practice seemed to have some role. In the control of his power and other aspects, he was sure that the spear would take on an important role and thus the reason why the body art improved fast was the insights from it. The fact that he had someone following him was something that Wang, was oblivious about.
With the passage of time he would jump into the river and practice his spear thrusting there, due to the high resistance he thought it was a good place to practice. This also gave him some insights into the Sea Calming Manual but he did not break through it. It just allowed his understanding to improve. As his martial arts improved and his strength changed, another group in the forest was also moving towards some area, opposite the place he was currently practicing.
It was a group of six people and among them were two women the younger one was eye-catching, with the three men on the side trying to please her. Besides a woman, there seemed to be an old woman that did not bother with this but rather kept her vigilance towards the forest. The old woman unlike the young lady had a very serious expression, as she knew something about this forest.
"Everyone should be careful, something seems wrong with this forest. The time we came through this route it was not this silent."." she looked at the group with a serious expression. It was also at this moment they realized they them was too quiet.
"The situation in this forest has suddenly become wrong unless the war has entered a different situation and we are caught up in the middle, I doubt either side would care about our identities at this moment. We should be very careful, otherwise, we might end up also becoming part of this battle." the old lady stopped talking very anxiously around her. And she was right as it did not take long for some sound of something breaking through the air to be heard. At this moment the old woman barely survived the attack and looking into the distance a huge tree was crushed into sawdust.
Though the attack was missed, it still made them feel cold and at the same time, the young woman was about to shout her identity when the old woman arrived before her covering her mouth. It seemed she is used to using her identity to threaten others, but this was not going to end well for her if it happened here. Not to mention the young men that were following them did not survive that attack, and the old woman still covered the young lady\'s mouth and said, "That person just nearly killed us. The moment you tell them your identity then they will do everything to kill you, after all, they can never let someone that has the ability to get revenge go."
On the other side, Wang had just come to the surface to get some rest and had no idea that this forest was not as it seemed on the surface. Everyone seemed to be interested in it for their own reasons and even the Ziyu city too had their elites enter the forest for this very reason Wang was further from the area the most groups had gathered to compete for whatever it was they were competing. But he did not seem to have other thoughts as his eyes were bloodshot from training all this time.
The next period of time, he had the cow carry him as he moved along the river with his eyes closed. He was working too hard just to step into the level of grandmaster, and the benefits he would get at that moment would also become huge. Since his speed, and artistic conception was attained he could feel the internal energy slowly starting to become liquid. The speed was too slow, compared to if the martial arts he had studied crossed the threshold into artistic conception.
Wang did not bother with it as he could not do anything about it and just rested on the cow\'s back as it traveled slowly along the river. He did not seem to be bothered by the cold from the snow at all and kept his ears open despite resting his eyes. Training too much seemed to have made his mind somehow tired and he needed to relax, but who would have thought that trouble was coming his way? The old woman used some means to let the young lady escape and with her sacrifice that arrogant woman still failed to remember the advice from the old lady.
In her escape, she ended up shouting about the fact that her father would come for revenge even though she was lucky to escape the encirclement. In the end, she was followed and her means of escape could only let her go as far as within several miles, but in the end, she was still discovered. A group of birds carrying some people in the forest seemed to have her encircled again and when she was hopeless she saw a huge cow with a man sleeping on it and assumed he was strong.
When she caught her hope for survival she shouted, "Uncle! Kill these people, they do not have respect for you and are daring to encircle you." When that woman said this, the group of huge birds seemed to have turned their attention toward him. He was inconspicuous in the beginning but now he seemed to have become the target and the woman wanted to escape, her mouth has raised a curve.
She failed to realize that from the moment Wang opened his eyes, he cast his glance toward her and his bloodshot eyes had some cold light in them. "Dare to use me as a shield and then escape! Indeed1 those that are always pitiful are the dangerous ones." Wang did not have the kindness of a woman at all, and he also realized that in this world, associating women with kindness was wrong. He preferred to repay others, especially when the weak tried to turn the strong into their pawns, he did not seem to be the kind of person that could tolerate it. He burst himself to get to this point and had his strength not improved this woman\'s actions would have cost him his life.
How could he be tolerant of this kind of behavior?
