Ethan Under Attack

So that's how it is. If that is the case, then I have three cultivation spirits within me so far. I still have more than 20 cultivation spirits sealed in the Temporal Spirit World. I had the plan to use them to grow all six cultivation spirits if possible. But from the looks of it, doing it is very dangerous. What should I do now?

[A cultivator has to gather as many cultivation spirits as they can. Once they reach the Physique Strengthening Stage, they can't split their Spirits for the addition of another cultivation spirit.]

[If the User managed to get all six cultivation spirits, then the User has to make all six Spirits reach the Physique Strengthening Stage concurrently. They can't reach the Physique Strengthening Stage at different times]

[User has the Heaven Equality Body. This means the User has a body equivalent to Heaven. And the Lightning Tribulation of highest degree will be extremely useful for the User to advance in the Heaven Equality Cultivation Manual]

"…"

Ethan was dumbstruck. Are you kidding me? It scared the shit out of me whenever I saw the lightning during the rainy season. The sound of the thunderbolts always gave me a near heart attack. And you idiot wanted me to take them head-on? Are you asking me to die in return for your generous rewards?

Ethan shouted at the System. But after thinking for a while, he calmed down. After all, he had to face the lightning tribulations sooner or later.

But the problem is, one can't reach the Physique Strengthening Stage without concurrent advancement. That means, if he managed to train in all six cultivation spirits, he can't advance to the Physique Strengthening Stage without lightning tribulations and concurrent advancement.

Of course, he didn't waste his time on these pointless thoughts. After all, where could he find the rest of the cultivation manual for the rest of the three spirits? And that is also in this Mortal World. It was close to impossible. So he didn't waste time racking his brain and spoil his good mood over something close to impossible.

"System, show me my current stats."

Ethan nodded in satisfaction after looking at his statistics. All his debts have vanished after the completion of the rewards. All the rewards from completing the 'V' ranked mission was added to the list.

He was pretty satisfied with his harvest. He never imagined that escaping from the lackeys of Young Master Sirius and unknowingly coming to this village would lead to the resting place of the Spirit God mountain. He was very happy with his harvest.

He then realized that he was out of the Phoenix Feather City for more than three days. Before anything unknowing things happens, he had to enter the city.

With this in his mind, he rushed towards the entrance of the village to get out and return to the Phoenix Feather City as soon as possible. Before he left, he wanted to make sure that Assane and his daughter were safe. After assuring that they were safe and were in a good shape, he took a sigh of relief and left the village.

…

Very soon Ethan was around 200m away from the gates of the Phoenix Feather City. He was amazed to see how quick he was. He was at least five times quicker than when he left the city thanks to the rewards. Thanks to it, his stamina also kept up with his journey not tiring him up even for a single bit.

His experience throughout the journey was filled with the enjoyment of his newly achieved physical state. He was mesmerized because of it.

Shu!!

Just as he was running towards the entrance of the Phoenix Feather City, he heard a wind-piercing sound. A System notification popped out notifying him about something.

Ethan didn't have the time to look at the notification. Because that sound had given him an immense danger. He immediately dodged out of instinct.

Thud!!

Just as he moved backward and dodged the attack, he heard a sound which he heard from where he stood previously. Ethan took a good look at what it is. Sure enough, his intuition was right. It was an arrow!

Someone is trying to assassinate me?

This thought popped up in Ethan's mind. His mind became alert. He now had a considerable amount of knowledge in combats thanks to the fighting experience he had against the monsters on the Spirit God's Mountain.

Ethan didn't know who it was. But he was sure about one thing. The attacker was a Physique Strengthening Stage expert at the very least. He can confirm this much for sure.

A Physique Strengthening Stage expert is trying to assassinate me? Why? Did Young Master Sirius get impatient and ordered a strong follower of his daddy to assassinate him?

But he found it unbelievable. After all, killing me is equal to his dad's losing promotion. He should be clever enough to know this. Then why would he send the assassins after me?

If this is not Young Master Sirius's doing, then who sent the Assassin to kill me?
