“What a liar,” said Ravyn, echoing in Lu Zheng’s mind.Lu Zheng was startled awake from a daze, dropping his butt to the floor, visibly exhausted. He gazed intently at Xia’s back, sliding back and forth between her and the wild rabbit.‘I survived…’ He thought. At the same time, he recalled Ravyn’s words and furrowed his eyebrows.‘I guess they were testing me. I should have passed the test.’He lowered his head and raised his right hand, opening and closing it. He then remembered he manifested a Partial Domain and his right hand paused its movement, but it then trembled.Lu Zheng smiled. He thought, ‘I did it! I manifested my Partial Domain they were talking about! If I’m not wrong, it should be a part of a Master’s domain. To think I’ll be able to manifest one when I’m only on the Intermediate rank.’“That was impressive, doofus. To think your comprehension ability is actually high. Didn’t expect that from someone like you.”Lu Zheng rolled his eyes and replied in his mind, “You’

Half an hour later, Lu Zheng finally stood up. He was enjoying his conversation with Ravyn when his stomach grumbled.He was confused at first why he felt hungry when he was already on the Intermediate rank. Normally, at such a rank, he would not feel hunger even if he had not eaten for a day.That was then he realized he had not eaten for two days! The last time he ate was when he met his venomous benefactor—using such tactics to manipulate him.Only after the battle did he realize his stomach was hungrier than it could have been.It even began to feel excruciating.He hastily stood up and looked around.He did not think of going back to grab his sheath anymore. After all, if he calculated the distance he crossed just to escape from the wild rabbit, it should have been more than ten kilometers. Even if he ran, it might only intensify his hunger.Hence, at this moment, he had to find a beast, kill it, and finally satisfy his stomach.He asked Ravyn, “Are there any Spirit Beasts near

Back in the clan, not only were they taught about martial arts, Lu Zheng was able to learn about beasts.There was even a beast compendium in the library, providing comprehensive information about them.Snakes, hawks, wolves, and more.Although there were many types of them, they still possessed the same system in their body, often there were many distinct differences.Thankfully, Lu Zheng learned about Vine Serpent before. Since Ravyn was able to know the creature even before Lu Zheng spotted it, he must have based its traits from Lu Zheng’s knowledge.After all, since he was in his consciousness, he had fully absorbed Lu Zheng’s memories. After extracting all the unnecessary parts of the Vine Serpent, especially its gallbladder due to its toxin, Lu Zheng set up a fire through branches.He knew how to cook, especially in the wilderness since he basically spent most of his life outside the Ebonshade City, hunting beasts to gain experience.Before, it always has been Feral Beast. Tha

“You have five minutes,” said Ravyn as silence descended on Lu Zheng's mind. He did not hesitate anymore as he bolted towards the hawk.He recognized the hawk—vibrant lime feathers mixed with shade of white, earning its name, Gale Hawk.It was recorded in the clan, too.Lu Zheng was glad that he took his time to learn about them. It was inevitable since he planned to gain experience by surviving in the wild.Compared to the cultivators, beasts did not have martial arts. However, their advantage was possessing an affinity more closer to any elements compared to humans.They moved in instinct and that was the best advantage they could have.If their instinct was in the apex, then they would be difficult to be defeated.Lu Zheng did not have a complete understanding of the Gale Hawk in front of him.The Gale Hawk stood atop its nest, sitting on the branch as five times taller as Lu Zheng.Fighting against it in aerial battle would really be difficult to do.However, if he kept provokin

Lu Zheng rolled his eyes.He mumbled, “I guess, seeing me in a life and death situation made you enjoy my battle very much. Why can’t you appreciate how I killed that hawk through wits?”Ravyn snorted. “Say that again if you manage to manipulate a cultivator themselves. Much better, if they don’t have something to protect, too.”Lu Zheng shrugged. “Whatever.”He then focused on his Qi Circulation, utilizing Tidal Flow to attract more Qi on his surroundings to flow on his meridians.It recovered his stamina and strength. When it reached his dantian, it filled his Qi balls with Qi to prepare himself for another round of battle.This time, it might just be a pure battle with the opponent not holding back, like what the Gale Hawk did earlier to protect her eggs. Lu Zheng was already expecting to fight a Gale Hawk, who would enter the berserk state. At the same time, the Gale Hawk husband might certainly be many times stronger than his wife.Knowing all of that, Lu Zheng prepared himself.
