Death... and me

"Are you sure you aren't trying to kill me? Most of the requirements seem nearly impossible to meet," Zangeshu couldn't help but mention.

Rean laughed in response, putting his CD away. "Hahaha! Kid, your life so far was just too SHIT when it came to cultivating the body, soul, and spiritual energy. If we don't do that, you will never make up for the lost time. Remember, you are a genius with your sub-jobs. But anything else, you aren't even average. Now, stop complaining and switch cultivations. I will make sure you will keep up with the technique's requirements."

Kentucky added on the side. "Well, you can always give up and leave. Hahaha!"

Zangeshu's mouth twitched. He could completely understand why Roan hated those two. "No need."

He closed his eyes and read everything. Roan even described inside the Jade Slip the steps Zangeshu would need to take to abandon his actual technique without any side effects, which Zangeshu had to admit was quite impressive. It was as if Roan knew every single cell of his body.

Meanwhile, Rean pulled him to Kentucky's back, and his group began to fly again. There was still some distance until they got close to the formation Zangeshu mentioned.

Three hours later, Zangeshu opened his eyes, taking a deep breath before extending his hand. He tried to gather his Lightning Element, but found it quite hard to do so. "This cultivation technique is really complicated."

Rean didn't doubt that. "For sure. You are a special case, you know? He had to force many things into this technique to make up for your flaws. Anyway, there is no need to worry. You should regain your sensibility towards Lightning Element in three days."

"Three... days?" Zangeshu felt like he had heard it wrong. "There is no way I can recover to my previous level that fast."

It was then that Zangeshu noticed Rean playing with something in his hand. It was Zangeshu's Spatial Ring! He didn't even notice when Rean took it from him. Was it even possible? "What do you want with my Spatial Ring?"

Rean didn't answer. Instead, he moved like lightning, striking Zangeshu's abdomen where his Dantian was located. A seal was quickly put in place, suppressing one of Zangeshu's abilities. Zangeshu wanted to curse again. Why does he have to always do things that abruptly? "Can't you at least tell me in advance?"

Yet, Rean laughed, obviously having a lot of fun with the situation. "Kentucky, give us a spin!"

"Here we go!" Kentucky did as Rean said, spinning his body in mid-air. Rean held to Kentucky's back with his Spiritual Energy. However, Zangeshu didn't react as fast, being thrown off from Kentucky's back easily.

Zangeshu was already used to it. How many times did Rean throw him out of Kentucky's back? From the looks of it, he will have to fly for his life again... or so he thought. "Hum?"

Too bad, though. Zangeshu couldn't fly! His body began to plummet from the skies like a rock, no amount of Spiritual Energy able to stop. "Shit!"

How could he not understand? The Seal Rean put in Zangeshu's body was made to make it impossible for Zangeshu to fly. Zangeshu changed his approach and fortified his body with his Spiritual Energy for the moment he landed on the ground... or so he tried! His Spiritual Energy immediately dispersed! "What the hell?!"

As Zangeshu fell to his death, Rean laughed from high up in the skies. "Hahaha! Kid, if you want to survive, you better use your Lightning Element. The only way your Spiritual Energy will circulate from now on is if you are using it with your Lightning Element, and that means... using the Lightning Element inside your own body as well. Meridians, Dantian, Soul, you name it. If there is a need for Spiritual Energy, then it has to have Lightning Element. Good luck!"

Zangeshu's eyes became red. Lightning Element inside his own body? Of the five mainstream elements, Lightning was definitely the most destructive one. When using it, one had to be careful to not damage their own body in the process. Now, if Zangeshu wanted to use his Spiritual Energy, he would have to circulate it inside his body. That seemed like nothing more but suicide!

Yet, the ground was fast approaching while Rean and Kentucky just observed from high up in the skies. It was pretty obvious neither of them had any intention to save Zangeshu's life.

Zangeshu gritted his teeth and circulated his Spiritual Energy, this time gathering Lightning Element. It entered his body, meridians, veins, etc... making Zangeshu feel like he was burning his body from the inside out. ṚÁꞐỌ𝐁ËṨ

*Arrrghhhh!*

The pain was unbearable, but he had to do it. Looking at the fast-approaching ground, Zangeshu stopped for a moment and then waited. In the very last second, before smashing against it, Zangeshu's Dantian burst with Spiritual Energy, using it all to gather Lightning Element and circulate both inside his body.

*BANG!*

He landed on the ground, creating a small crater due to the Lightning and Spiritual Energy.

*Ughh...*

Zangeshu prevented the worst. That single second fortified his body enough to resist the fall without breaking his bones. Nonetheless, he vomited blood as the huge amount of Lightning he used at once inside his body did not have mercy on him. "That fucker will definitely end up killing me."

Rean and Kentucky then descended a little bit more before Rean continued to speak. "Not bad, not bad! Now, then, the easy part is over. For the next three days, you have to survive. Oh, look! Your 'beloved' new friends are here already to enjoy your company."

*Roar!*

Several Ape Demon Beasts began to rush from all sides. They were Blood Frenzy Apes, a Demon Beast Race that almost never cultivated beyond Stage Five. They were extremely territorial and would attack anyone and anything that came inside it. Their territory expanded hundreds of kilometers, creating a no-go zone for most Demon Beasts. Zangeshu's arrival was very loud, which immediately caught their attention.

"Fuck!" Zangeshu cursed even more. He was in the Soul Transformation Realm, which was equivalent to a Stage Six Demon Beast... But that was only when he was able to freely use his Spiritual Energy. At the moment, the only way to use Spiritual Energy was to circulate Lightning inside his body. He definitely didn't want to do it, but if he didn't, he would die for

sure.

From above, Rean clapped. "Let the very, very, very fun survival training start! I wonder if I will still have a disciple by the end of the three days. Hahaha! Let's go, Kentucky. Let's find a good place to watch the show."
