Chapter 39 Breakthrough

After leaving Hu Jiao'Er and Hu Mei'Er's house and rushing back to Sky Tower Pavilion.

Next to Coiling Dragon Stream, Yang Kai concentrated on his training.

Not too far from him, there were three Three Sun's Fruit trees growing healthily.

Ever since the day he had left Hu Jiao'Er and Hu Mei'Er's house, Yang Kai had been cultivating non-stop day and night at the Coiling Dragon Stream, even forgetting to eat. He wanted to see the effect of the Small World Orb and how it would impact him, but because of the same orb, he needed to work extra hard as his breakthrough capacity also increased.

After ten days of training, he had reached the peak of the tempered body ninth stage and was on the brink of breaking through. But he seemed to be an endless black hole that kept absorbing Qi, and Yang Kai felt hopeless.

The world's essence congregated around Yang Kai, who was about to break into the initial element stage and fill his body with new energy, but unfortunately, Yang Kai didn't succeed.

Even after a day and night, Yang Kai was still stuck at this bottleneck. Although he didn't feel worried because he knew the world wouldn't let him stay at a small stage, he needed to save the world in the future.

Another night came, under the starry sky, next to Coiling Dragon Stream, Yang Kai sank into an anxious type of mood. All of his World Qi seemed to become chaotic, and an extremely painful expression appeared on his face.

"Here comes the demonic Qi," Yang Kai thought.

Not too far away, Xia Ning Chang, who was watching Yang Kai, couldn't help but cry out. Though they were quite a distance apart, she could still sense the unusual World Qi fluctuations; within those World Qi fluctuations, there was a cold and evil Qi.

"Evil Qi!" Xia Ning Chang shouted in panic.

How could it be like this? This was a clear sign of walking into dark practices. He was only breaking into the initial element stage from the tempered body ninth stage, so how could there be a chance of accidentally walking into dark practices?

Yang Kai, who heard her thoughts, smiled.

But this situation was actually occurring to Yang Kai.

Xia Ning Chang's pretty eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.

The reason she was there was that she had searched for Yang Kai. She had watched over Yang Kai for more than two years, so it had become a habit. These recent few days, with the sudden disappearance of Yang Kai, had left her a bit lonely, and everything she did wasn't interesting. Searching for him, she had found him next to Coiling Dragon Stream, and the big stone in her heart had been lifted.

After arriving, Xia Ning Chang knew that Yang Kai was about to break through. After waiting for a day, Yang Kai had unexpectedly not, and now this strange thing had arisen, so how could she not be in doubt?

Just as Xia Ning Chang was feeling anxious inside, a pure and blisteringly hot energy burst from within Yang Kai. With that blisteringly different energy's appearance that was very strange because in the world, a person can only cultivate one type of energy.

In the middle of different energy, there was hot energy that glowed more than others; the demonic traces of energy were gradually being burnt away, and Yang Kai's Qi fluctuations immediately became steady.

"True Yang Energy!" Xia Ning Chang's small mouth gaped open, and her charming face displayed her amazement. Nearly crying out, "How could there be so many different energies, and yang energy is very pure!"

That pure and blisteringly hot energy was clearly Yang-type energy. Many Sky Tower disciples cultivated fire or Yang-type martial skills and possessed this type of fiery Qi. But no matter which disciple's World Qi was compared with Yang Kai's, it wouldn't be as pure as his.

Before she could recover herself, Xia Ning Chang saw that the demonic energy that was being suppressed by that blisteringly hot energy was also being replaced by it while it scattered inside Yang Kai.

After a short while, another burst of Qi came out from Yang Kai and suppressed the remaining dark energy, restoring Yang Kai.

This repeated a few times, leaving Xia Ning Chang dumbstruck! She had never seen or heard of such a bizarre occurrence when a martial practitioner broke through into the initial element stage.

In other words, although breaking through to the initial element stage, one would suffer some restrictions because the stage was still fairly low, but so were the restrictions. As long as one used some effort, they could break through.

However, this was not the case for Yang Kai. She could clearly see that the restrictions he suffered were far greater than anyone else's, and were, in fact, comparable to those she suffered when she was breaking into the higher stages.

"But how can a person cultivate many different energies?" Xia Ning Chang thought, dumbstruck.

Yang Kai, who heard her thoughts, couldn't help but smile and think, "Now I've made her curious about myself, and I just need to wait. Later, haaa, haa."

(A/N: Curiosity kills the cat.)

Although Yang Kai was currently suffering bitterly, it was worthwhile.

He already had a foot into the initial element stage, at that moment, he just needed to concentrate.

Yang Kai let demonic energy run wild on his body so Xia Ning Chang felt he tried his best to fight against it. But in reality, he already could control demonic energy.
