15 Theory and Practice

[Hi Ethan] Ethan could finally discern the system's voice and it sounded like a little girls.

"Your a girl" Thought Ethan

[Is there a problem I can leave if you want] asked the system sounding upset

"No no wait you can leave" asked Ethan confused that she could hear his thoughts

[Don't worry I'm stuck with you forever plus I don't care for genders ]

[Now what did I miss] asked the system

"Do you have a way for me to break an array formation" asked Ethan

[Let me see...Nuscant soul array yeah there's something in the store that can remove it but it will cost you all of your current poins] the system said.

"Buy it"

"Ethan are you ok" while Ethan was talking to the system his pressure stopped and the archers got up Zhao Han asked worried.

None of them attacked and just looked at Yue and Li waiting for their respons.

Everyone suddenly got alerted as Ethan's hand shined gold and a card sized yellow paper with red writing appeared, the writing looked like doodle drawing and made no sense.

"Talisman" muttured Yue as she looked at the paper with interest

[This is a talisman created by the system and it can destroy any array formation below nascent soul rank but has only a certain amount of energy and after that it can no longer be used...] said the system as she explained a few more things.

Following the system Ethan placed the talisman against the door, Ethan felt an energy flow from the talisman to the door and the lines on the door started loosing their luster until the disappeared.

After checking it was safe he pushed open the door and was shocked at what he saw.

From the outside the building looked like to be around 20 meters long but on the inside it was 100 meters and everything was lit up.

[there might be traps so be careful]

"Are there maybe any traps inside" Ethan asked Li

"Does the sect master know about him" Li asked

"The sect master... she's has passed" said Zhao feng with great difficult.

"Impossible she can't" The five were in shock

Ethan ignored them and just went in.

Ethan didn't find any traps but he asked the system to warn him.

The room had 5 rows of bookstands that stretched towards the back as far as the eye could see.

Walking on the side of the shelfs Ethan noticed that the rows each had separate thing.

The 1st row had: Martial art techniques

2nd row: small bottles with small beads in them.

3rd row : robes of different colors.

4th row : various weapons

5th row : Small glowing stones.

"How can I move all of this with a day" Ethan thought.

[I can take it in my inventory if you want] she offered

"Really" Ethan asked

[But only within ten meters....just run next to the shelfs and I'll do everything]

"Will you be able to fit everything in there"

[The inventory is almost empty except for the trchniques, special ring and stone]

"oh ok wait what ring and stone" Ethan was confused looking at the ring on his index finger.

Suddenly an ordinary grey rock appeared and a firely red Ring appeared.

[These thing appeared in the system when it first turned on so I'm guess that woman placed them there.....] said the system

"I'll look at it later" Ethan wore the ring and place the rock in the inventory

"Get ready" Ethan started running down the shelfs and everywhere he went the thing on the shelf would disappear soon after.

After 30 min Ethan walked out the now empty hall and saw that his tribe members were on one side while Zhao feng and Zhao Han were on one side talking to the archers.

"I got everything let's go elsewhere" Ethan said as he walked towards the door.

"Wait" he was suddenly stopped by a shout.

"Show it to me" Li suddenly said

Looking at him Ethan lifted up his shirt and activated his bloodline as his hair turned red and danced like fire he dropped his shirt.

"Wait" Yue shouted and Ethan stopped.

"Give me hope" Yue said as her eye's suddenly turned watery

Hearing her weird voice Ethan turned to look at her and saw that her face was red and she was about to burst.

"Why do you want hope especially from me" Ethan walked up to her and squatted looking at her.

"The sect master gave everyone hope when the world plunged in chaos, she's the reason why were alive why we fought so hard most of us are just ophans coming from destroyed villages and towns now that she's gone"she said as she sobbed

"How do we continue without her" she asked crying

"She was a nice person was she" Ethan asked and Yue nodded.

"Did she make you feel at home" Ethan asked and Yue nodded holding back her tears.

"Well I never got to experience and now it seems that I might not even get the chance too so guess what I'm gonna do" Ethan asked as she looked at him with anticipation

"I'll take the life of the person who took that chance away from me" Ethan said as the temperature in the room increased and his hair danced faster even popping sounds came from it.

"So I don't know what your-" Ethan was interrupted

"I'll join you" Li said as he walked forward.

Ethan nodded and gave Yue a handkerchief turning around he left as the others followed after him.

"Took you long enough" running out of the treasury the others along with Yue came running out only to find that Ethan and the rest were waiting for him.

Were to next Ethan looked at Zhao Han

There were a mixture of the regular sect building and other buildings so it was filled with building everywhere but they seemed to know their way around the place.

Walking on a narrow road with building on both sides they suddenly stopped as they saw two zombies fighting each other.

The zombies were fast and every punch they threw would send debris flying but as soon as the group appeared they stopped fighting and turned to them.

The zombies had the regular green screen and lifeless eyes, they suddenly disappeared

"Che" Ethan glanced behind him and also disappeared .

Ethan threw a punch at the faster zombie sending it flying backwards, wanting to repeat the same thing with the other zombie Ethan's fist was caught and the zombie didn't even budge.

The zombie countered with it's own punch. Ethan caught it and pulled the zombie and freed his fist, he threw it again.

*Bam *

The other zombie just landed yet its stronger friend was already on the ground and Ethan was on top of it throwing his own fists.

*Swoosh*

Li, Zhao feng and Zhao Han jumped up and were followed by arrows as they ran to the faster zombie.

The arrows arrived first causing the zombie to stagger and their weapons followed, Li had a spear in his hand.

Just as the faster zombie dodged their weapons and appeared behind them Ethan appeared behind it.

*Boom*

The zombie was flattened by two consecutive punches.

Reaching towards the zombies abdominal he punched a hole and took out a bead that was black-greenish in color he kept it with the other one he took from his previous kill.

"I've grown quit strong" Ethan though as he looked as his ripped pants and shirt exposing his muscles.

Following behind him his tribe members were in awe and felt left out.

They reached another area where there where multiple beads.

They went to the alchemy palace and took tons of pills, seeds and spiritual herbs which Zhao feng said he'll need.

They wanted to move further but the system warned him saying that there was a nascent soul presence that seemed hostile so they turned back.

"That went faster than I thought" standing outside Ethan looked at the sun and sighed.

"we could go to the city and get supplies" Sarah suddenly suggested.

"Is there something you need" Ethan asked

Sarah nodded and went silent with a red face.

"Plus we could get a radio and send a signal telling people our location" Bruno suddenly proposed

"And we could look for survives to increase your tribe" added Alex

They had lunch and rested for a while.

"Get used to them" Ethan gave them swords he got from the treasury

They all ran and used their qi arriving an hour later which shocked most of those at the body strengthening realm.

All this with higher cultivation realm were not tired and seemed fine.

Looking at the city they saw thousands of zombies around the city some were wearing morden clothes while others wore robes.

"Here" Taking out martial arts techniques Ethan distributed them among those without them.

"Blue grade technique" muttered Li

"I want you to read them and then practice them on the zombies" Ethan said as he sat on the ground
