Going to train

3 Years later,

"Son, I'm growing more and more disappointed in you. How come you still haven't made any breakthrough? You talent is so hugh so how can you not cultivate seriously!?"

"Dad, it's not that I can't breakthrough it's..."

"Its what!? Don't you tell me that you can but don't want to. Sigh... I guess I have no choice."

"Huh?"

"You'll be making a trip to the great beast forest! You'll have to train there until you reach a breakthrough! Don't you dare come back before becoming an Earth realm expert!"

"But..."

"No buts! The nations ranking tournament will be held in 3 years. If I don't see acceptable results I'll beat you up. Oh and you can forget about participating with the 12-years-old you're going to participate with the 18-years-old!"

"How!? Is that even legal!? That is so unfair to me!"

"What so unfair about it? You're at the spirit realm! That's already above 60% of the participants! Alright no more words. You're setting off now!"

And so Xiao shi... Or Gong Shentong has been exiled to a faraway training ground!

"Sigh so this is the great beast forest..."

This forest was in the Eastern part of the country. It was full of adventurers and beasts. This was the holy land for the country's cultivators! But...

This was also a place were strength meant everything!

Under the commands of the king, Xiao Shi entered the forest alone without any compagnons. In the past, wherever he went, he was treated with respect. But now? It'll be a lie to say he wasn't a sheep in the middle of a pack of wolves!

Up until now, he wasn't faced with any obstacles. Some beasts tried to cut off his road, but weee handled by him easily as they were only origin realm beasts. It wasn't until he was deep into the forest that he met a worthy opponent!

A Silver wolf!

This a spirit realm beast and outstanding in the realm too. In addition, beasts tend to have better physics than humans. All these factors made it hard for cultivators of same level to fight it. In fact, even some earth realm experts have hard time dealing with the silver wolf due to its amazing speed and swiftness.

But...

It didn't take long for Xiao Shi to fight it off!

If anyone saw this fight, They would surely be scared witless. Normally to fight off a silver wolf on the same level, a person would surely need a lot of preparation, traps, limiting its area of movement etc...

However, Xiao Shi straight up speed blitzed it!

"This sword that the old man gave me isn't bad. Unfortunately, it's heavy. This movement technique is not bad either. "

"No, it's not that it isn't bad. It's that you have reached grand completion in it already"

"oh. That's too bad then."

"You still remember your former techniques. Why don't you practice them up."

"Two reasons. Firstly, there too powerful for my current level. Secondly, what's the point of learning older techniques if it's going to end with me back to the same level?"

"... Oh."

"Hmm, I guess that'll be my goal after exiting the forest. I'll have to look for suitable techniques to practice."
