Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Training Does Not Always Goes As One Plans!
As he said that Noah remembered something and added, "I am also using his name for the same reason. After I change my body, Long Tian would 'disappear' from this world and there would only be me, 'Noah'.
By his name I will settle the karma of revenge and the enemies we will be making in the future.
After I get the new body it would be like starting from the first page of a blank book."
"With no past or no enemies. Like a man appearing out of nowhere… huh?"
Hearing those words, Elysia muttered along, completing his sentence with a look of understanding in her eyes.
Indeed it was a good plan from Elysia's point of view. Even if there were any problems he would face in the future, isn't she always there for him?
'let's see who has the guts to cause trouble for you.'
A cold light flashed through her eyes before It went away like it was never there.
Noah did not seem to notice that look as he was busy looking around to find a good opponent for himself.
"Let's go, we have some beasts to kill."
With that they continued on their journey. Noah wanted to start by fighting against the spirit beasts at the peak of Qi condensation Realm just by using his body strength.
The point of this training was that he wanted to hone his instincts and get good control over his own body.
*Boom!*
Elysia watched as Noah got himself slammed in the ground by a huge gorilla.
The beast was selected by him upon seeing that it had good defense and would be a good training partner.
"Cough, this is getting annoying…"
Noah muttered as he got up from the ground, his body was full of small bruises and scratches. He had been thinking that it would be an easy task but here he was…
Getting himself thrashed in this in the ground by a senseless beast!
If he said this was a good way of training, he might as well call himself a masochist!
He came to realize that even though he was able to kill a beast way above his realm using both Qi and Body cultivation, it was very difficult for him to fight against the beast using a single path.
If Elysia knew what he was thinking she might have called a few more beasts at this level to gang up on him.
Even though she liked the man, there was a limit to which people could handle shamelessness.
Not only was he complaining about not being strong enough while fighting against someone six levels above him but he was also ignoring the fact that his combat experience using his body was practically novice.
He was only using his heightened senses to dodge and counterattack all this time but even then he was unable to react to the attack fast enough.
The gorilla smacked his chest with his fist and charged at Noah once again.
"Stop using your soul sense, use your instincts to fight. The body cultivators do not have soul sense at this stage, so act like a beginner." hearing Elysia's voice, Noah's mind raced at full before he acknowledged her words and stopped using his soul powers.
"Roar!"
Right now Noah felt like he was weak, it was not an illusion but reality. After restraining his soul; power, he found out that the difference between those two powers was way beyond what he could even calculate.
While he was distracted with his thoughts the gorilla got puzzled and waited for him to get out of his thoughts.
He silently acted like a good boy…
Like HELL HE DID!!!
*SMACK!!*
Noah was sent hurling back as he destroyed a couple of trees in the process. He landed in the rough ground creating a small crater in the process. He laid there with disheveled look and dirt on his face, reevaluating his life choices.
"Pftt!"
Elysia tried to hold her laughter seeing the disheveled look on Noah's face as he got up from the ground. His eyes holding no emotions whatsoever looked at the beast like a dead body.
*Boom!*
*Woosh*
Jumping out of the ground, Noah charged at the beast, his actions were similar to the ones he performs while using the elementless fist. His mind was fully focused at this moment, for him right now there was only him and his enemy, there was no one else in the place.
Pak! Pitu!
The beast was not someone who would wait for his opponent to strike. He also sent his own punch aiming at Noah's chest.
Smack!
"Elementless fist!"
Noah muttered as he struck the beast while also dodging the incoming attack. At this moment Noah seemed to have realized the essence of this fist technique.
This technique works with both Qi and no Qi. elementless is not about the presence of plain qi but it's about the absence of any element. A fist with pure physical strength was also elementless.
The attack connected with the beast sending it flying away. Or so what Noah thought, the beast staggered back a couple of steps while coughing up a mouthful of blood.
The attack packed a punch but for someone like the gorilla who had strong defense it was not life threatening with just a single swing.
"ROAR!"
Enraged by Noah's attack it charged at him once again while Noah also did not have time to curse his fate and also counter attacked.
After a couple of exchanges, Noah started to get the hang of sensing the incoming attack using the flow of the air around him. The battle went on for a half an hour before Noah became bored of it.
"Sigh~ I need a change of pace."
*Slash!*
With a sigh Noah took out his sword. Unsheathing the sword Noah did not even bother to shorten the distance between them and attacked diagonally from the place he stood on.
*Thud*
With a bright red arc that was ejected from the sword the gorilla was split in two parts as it fell to the ground.
"Are you done already?" Elysia came towards him after seeing him suddenly using his sword intent and ending the battle. Her eyes contained a hint of confusion as she looked at him.
