Chapter 20: V, don't Interfere!

...

Bastian quickly turned to his left, and saw a group of Kalari Scorpions headed towards him. They were moving in what seemed to be a clumsy single file. They would move this way underground, then encircle their prey once they get close. They were about 200 meters away.

"It was a group of Kalari Scorpions and judging from the scent, there are six of them. Two of them have a slightly different scent from the rest, I think it's the parents," said Bastian with a grave expression.

His sense of smell is so sensitive that it can even differentiate numbers! Incredible!

V was impressed, but unfortunately, now was not the time to be impressed. Bastian saw that the situation was dire but his previous performance had uplifted his spirit. He did not want V to fight, even though she could easily finish the pack of scorpions in a flash.

In an instant, he wanted to test the limits of his new body, much like her. Feeling confident, he searched through the information he had received from the Bloodline Awakening, to see if there was anything he could use right now.

Most of these techniques required lots of yuan. His cultivation level was so low that he could only use Dragon Descends, a move that used kinetic energy from his previous fall as the primary energy source. Other techniques from the Empyrean Equilibrium Void Shattering Fist were also dependent on kinetic energy. Furthermore, they often used the kinetic energy from one's opponent's strike as fuel, still, one required lots of time to master the entire technique. One mistake and one could die instantly.

The Tyrian Double Headed Storm Dragon, had sovereignty over many things. One of them was balance of forces; hence a lot of its attacks were about using one's opponent's force against him or her. This required a lot of finesse to execute and even more time to master.

Dragon Descendants only used the kinetic energy from one's fall and the force of the impact between the ground and the participant. This was much easier to execute, whereas a flurry of fists or kicks from your opponents were very difficult to block. Let alone to attempt to counter, using the balance of forces.

Hhmm, nope, nope, damn nope. Wait...This looks like the technique which uses the least amount of yuan but it requires one to at least be a middle disciple/student in order to be able to use it. Since I have just begun cultivation, I am only a lower disciple/student.

As Bastian pondered the situation, he rolled the daemon core around in his hand, an old habit of his when he had a problem he could not solve. Sometimes it was a pebble, sometimes a bead. On earth he used to have a tiny rubber ball he would use.

The situation needed him to be stronger, which meant he had to increase his cultivation somehow within a short space of time

Wait! That is it! But will it work? It's quite dangerous and I am not normal either. I'm confident my body can handle it; I will just absorb a little to test it. Let me just try...

Yes! It worked! Haha perfect!

After skimming through some information in his mind, Bastian had found a technique suitable for his situation, yet his cultivation level was too low to use it.

But he had a flash of inspiration. V only saw Bastian's face show a myriad of different expressions, until he finally grinned. He opened up the hand with the core, yet what came out was just dust. Having been surprised too many times, V just face palmed and shook her head. She was numb to anything that Bastian did.

If it was anyone else, especially cultivators, had seen what Bastian just did, their hearts would have jumped with fright because Bastian had just done something that was very dangerous in the cultivation World. Something that usually caused irreparable damage to one's body and crippled him or her for life. He absorbed World Energy directly from a daemon core!
