Chapter 674: Bad Weather
Kai and Abigail woke up again.This time, neither of them gasped violently like before.They simply opened their eyes, stared at the familiar sky of the array world, and remained lying there for a few quiet breaths, both of them looking so tired that even anger felt like too much work. The same rich Qi flowed around them, the same peaceful wind brushed against the grass, and the same mountains stood in the distance as if the world had not just killed them immediately after their first real victory.Kai slowly lifted one hand and covered his face.Abigail sat up beside him, silent.For a while, neither spoke.What was there to say?It had taken them ten years to kill one beast.Ten full years.Ten years of being torn apart, crushed, pierced, bitten, slapped into cliffs, trampled into the ground, and dragged through the forest like training dolls thrown into a grinder. Ten years of learning one creature’s rhythm until its every breath, every twitch of muscle, every shift of claws had be
Chapter 673: Ten Years For One Beast
Ten years later.The loud sound of a beast falling echoed throughout the whole forest.It was not a simple sound. It was the kind of fall that made the earth tremble, the kind that sent birds scattering from ancient trees and forced weaker creatures hidden in burrows to curl tighter in fear. The massive beast crashed through three towering trunks before its body finally slammed into the ground, carving a long trench through mud, stone, and roots. Dust rose. Leaves rained down. The thick spiritual mist hanging over the forest shook violently from the impact, and for a few breaths, everything went still.Kai stood several meters away from the fallen beast, breathing heavily.His clothes were torn in too many places to count, blood streaked the side of his face, and one of his arms hung slightly lower than the other, clearly dislocated or half-broken, but he remained standing. His silver blood pulsed beneath his skin, rapidly closing the deep wounds across his chest and shoulder. Every b
Chapter 672: Respawn
Kai and Abigail gasped at the same time.Their eyes flashed open violently, and for one terrifying breath, both of them reacted like people still pinned beneath the claws of that beast. Kai’s hand shot to his chest instinctively, fingers pressing against the place where the claw had punched through his body, while Abigail’s hand tightened around the hilt of her sword as cold intent surged around her for half a second before she forced it back down. Their breathing was rough, almost ragged, and the memory of death still clung to them with disgusting clarity.Pain, pressure, blood in the throat and the feeling of life draining too fast for the body to fight back then nothing.Kai lowered his head slowly and stared at his chest.No wound, blood or torn flesh.His clothes were whole too, as if the array had restored not only their bodies but the moment before failure itself. The silver blood inside him flowed steadily, strong and alive, without any trace of the beast’s destructive Qi. Abi
Chapter 671: First Death
Two days later, Kai’s eyes flashed open.The cold around him cracked.For a moment, the black glacier domain trembled as if something beneath it had awakened. Frost clung to Kai’s hair, his shoulders, and his robes, and a thin layer of dark ice had formed over half his body, but when his eyelids lifted, silver light flashed through his pupils before disappearing just as quickly. The frozen pressure that had been crushing his blood and marrow for two straight days loosened slightly, not because the training ground had become weaker, but because his body had learned how to push back against it better than before.Kai inhaled slowly.His silver blood moved like a cold river beneath his skin, stronger and smoother than it had been when he first sat down. Every heartbeat felt heavier, deeper, and more controlled. The cold that had tried to slow him now moved through his body like a sharpening stone. It still hurt, of course. It hurt terribly. But useful pain always had a different taste.
Chapter 670: Pain That Gives Results
Hearing Kai talk about compensation made Abigail sigh.Not a small sigh either.It was the kind of tired sigh that came from spending too much time around someone whose first reaction to danger was not fear, caution, or even proper planning, but wondering how much profit could be squeezed out of the situation before it killed him. She looked at Kai’s face, saw the faint excitement in his eyes as he stared at the vast world ahead, and for a moment she genuinely pitied this place.The array world did not know what had entered it.Zora had created it to train, pressure, sharpen, and force them into becoming stronger through repeated battles, death, recovery, and cultivation. It was meant to be a furnace. A terrifying place where everything they faced would be at least two times stronger than them, and where comfort would be punished as soon as it appeared. Yet Abigail had the strange feeling that Kai was not looking at it like a prisoner looking at a torture chamber.He was looking at i
Chapter 669: Two Times Stronger
Zora then added, “Anything you obtain here will leave with you when the time comes.”Kai, who had already been standing there with the face of a man trying not to offend the only person who could increase his sentence by another few centuries, suddenly lifted his head. His eyes sharpened instantly.“Anything?” he asked.Zora looked at him.Kai cleared his throat and immediately adjusted his expression into something more respectful. “I am only asking for academic understanding.”Abigail gave him a side glance. “You mean treasure understanding.”“Resources are part of academics.”“No, they’re not.”“They are when I’m studying how to survive.”Zora ignored their little exchange and continued, “Anything you earn here, anything you take, anything you forge, refine, tame, steal from enemies who deserve it, or obtain through opportunity will remain with you after you leave. This world is not an illusion in the simple sense. It is a constructed cultivation domain tied to the time array. The
