Chapter 26-Completion of Ascetic Cultivation
Six years later. Battle Soul Calendar Year 3012, March
The Bala Kingdom was located in the south of the Sky Empire and bordered the Fasinuo Province. Although it was called a kingdom, its area was only three-quarters of the Fasinuo Province. It belonged to the Sky Empire and was one of the four kingdoms within the Sky Empire. King Kundera of Bala Kingdom was the cousin of King Okura of the Heavenly Emperor Kingdom.
To the south of the Ba La Kingdom, it was directly connected to the Star Empire. Therefore, among the four kingdoms of the Sky Empire, the Ba La Kingdom's military power was the strongest. It could also be said to be the gateway to the Sky Empire.
The Sky Empire originally had ten provinces. Later, with the four kingdoms 'enfeoffment, six factions were formed. The empire itself directly controlled five provinces, and the four kingdoms each controlled one. There was also a Duchy, which was second only to the kingdoms, occupying the smallest province in the east of the empire.
On the surface, the four kingdoms and the duchy were all under the rule of the Heaven Empire. However, in reality, these five kingdoms had long become countries within countries. Other than paying the necessary tribute, they were completely independent. If it weren't for the fact that the royal family of the Heaven Empire had a large army under their control, perhaps internal strife would have already occurred.
The Star Empire had a similar situation. Therefore, although the two empires looked strong, in reality, they were both on the decline. No one could say for sure that the situation of the entire continent would suddenly change one day.
There were two most important cities in the Kingdom of Bala. One was the capital city of Bala, where King Kundera lived. It was the political and economic center of the entire Kingdom of Bala. The other city was located in the middle of the most fertile plains in the Kingdom of Bala. It was called the Granary of Bala, Grand City.
These two cities were heavily guarded and were the most important cities in the entire kingdom.
Grand City was a big city. This could be seen from the fact that the Heaven Martial Hall was equipped with a third-level Soul Lord Hall.
It was just past noon, and the sun was blazing. A young man walked in from the west gate of Grand City. He looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old and did not carry any luggage with him.
The man was dressed plainly and looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was about 1.8 meters tall and dressed in white casual clothes. He looked very neat. There was a belt inlaid with 24 jade stones around his waist, and his long black hair barely reached his shoulders. Although he was not handsome, he gave off a very approachable feeling. There was a faint smile on his face.
At this moment, the white-robed man stretched and said happily,""The training is finally over. I'm exhausted! Five years! He had lived a primitive life for five years. He had not seen anyone for five years. Now, they had finally returned to the human city! Even though the air isn't fresh."
The man in white shook his head helplessly.
"You brat, you're still pretending to be obedient after getting a bargain. If he hadn't trained in that Heaven Dou Great Forest for those five years…How do you have this kind of strength?？His physical body was so powerful!!”
An old voice sounded in the white-robed man's mind. If you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of love and helplessness.
"How heartless. At least we have a good relationship. Who asked my teacher to be on good terms with you? Forget it, I'll talk about it after I'm free for the next few days.”
The white-robed man looked down on this person in his heart.
This white-robed man was Qiao Zidan, who had just left the mountain, no, the forest. The old voice belonged to Elder Huo in the ring.
Five years had passed, and Qiao Zidan had finally completed the devilish training in the Heaven Dou Great Forest. With Qiao Zidan's talent, she could have entered several intermediate spirit practitioner academies. It was likely that the few famous spirit practitioner academies would fight over the invitation letter.
However, Elder Huo had requested that Qiao Zidan undergo training in the Heaven Dou Great Forest and that she was not allowed to leave the Heaven Dou Great Forest for the next five years.
After five years of guidance, Qiao Zidan had already treated Elder Huo with the same respect as a grandfather. Furthermore, he knew that Elder Huo must have asked him to do this for his own good. Therefore, he agreed without hesitation.
Now that five years had passed, Elder Huo had brought Qiao Zidan out to see the city. (Why does Old Hao feel like Qiao Zidan is bringing Elder Huo to see the city?)
When they left the forest, Elder Huo had repeatedly told Qiao Zidan that she was not to use a second soul unless it was absolutely necessary. The reason was to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, twin soul bodies could be counted on one hand in the entire southwest continent. If they were exposed, the Sky Martial Hall would definitely take measures after receiving the news. If they failed to take him in, they would definitely kill him.
Elder Huo knew that Qiao Zidan was used to freedom. It was the same on Earth. That was why she kept telling him.
From morning to noon, Qiao Zidan was like a country bumpkin, playing here and there in the city. Finally, it was time for him to be exhausted.
In the afternoon, Qiao Zidan had a simple meal before looking for a place to stay. Not long after, Qiao Zidan found a very unique hotel.
The hotel was three stories tall. Although it did not look too big, the exterior decoration was completely dark black. The architectural style of the entire hotel was like a huge chocolate, and it was easy to give people a feeling of being dazzled.
"Black Hotel. Let's stay here." Qiao Zidan seemed to be talking to herself.
In his mind, Elder Huo said indifferently,""As long as you have money."
Hearing this, Qiao Zidan despised Elder Huo in her heart. What do you mean as long as I have money? F * ck!
During these five years in the forest, he had completely isolated himself from the world and cultivated. He only had a few silver spirit coins and several dozen copper spirit coins. Fortunately, with the subsidy from the Heaven Martial Hall, he was considered relatively rich now. Therefore, staying in this hotel was not a problem at all.
When Qiao Zidan walked into the black hotel, her first impression was that it was dark! Assassins should be as alert and sensitive as I am. The hotel was made of black materials that were difficult to reflect light. It was easy to assassinate. Hence, Qiao Zidan had no choice but to be on high alert, even though it was daytime!
The interior of the hotel only had three colors: dark black, pure black, and dark black. It was cool in summer and warm in winter. Such an environment could easily make ordinary people relax their vigilance and easily kill them. In addition, the ground seemed to have a dark red color stuck to it, making it easier to bury the bloodstains left behind by the murder.
Qiao Zidan's expression was calm, but her heart was surging. She walked to the counter vigilantly."Get a room."
"I say, this room should belong to me.”
Just as the waiter was about to help Qiao Zidan with the procedures, a sudden voice interrupted the waiter's actions.
Qiao Zidan turned around at the same time and saw two people appearing behind them. They were walking towards the counter.
The two people were a man and a woman. The woman was gorgeously dressed and looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. She was tall and slender.
However, Qiao Zidan's gaze did not land on the stunning beauty. What attracted his attention was the man walking beside him.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall, slightly taller than Qiao Zidan. He did not look old, even younger than the girl behind him. His shoulders were broad, and he looked handsome with a hint of determination. His long golden hair hung loosely behind his back, reaching his waist. His hair wasn't curly, but hung straight.
The most eye-catching thing was his pair of eyes. It was a pair of strange eyes. Both of them were dark blue. The gaze in those dark blue eyes was very cold. It was a kind of coldness that came from the depths of his heart. When he opened his eyes, an evil light flickered. When he looked at them, it was as if his body was cut by a sharp blade.
With such a handsome face and a pair of eyes, such a man would be the center of attention no matter where he went.
He was not weak! His soul was very strong! This was Qiao Zidan's first thought upon seeing this person.
The blond man walked to the counter and looked at the waiter. The young man said,"You're new here, right? Don't you know that you have to leave a room here for me?”
The waiter was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively,"And you are?"
"Call your manager out," the blonde man said impatiently.”
The waiter felt a chill in his heart when he saw the blond man's gaze. He hurriedly ran to the back to call his boss.
"It seems like I was here first," Qiao Zidan said faintly.”
The golden-haired man didn't even turn his head. He only said coldly,""So what?"
Hearing this, Qiao Zidan's expression darkened slightly. On Earth, no one dared to speak to him like that. "First come, first served, unless you're not human."”
The golden-haired man finally turned around. His deep blue eyes were filled with coldness as they landed on Qiao Zidan. He nodded."It's been a long time since anyone dared to talk to me like this. You also have soul energy fluctuations on your body. You should be a soul energy cultivator, right?，If you can beat me, I'll leave immediately. Otherwise, please show me the word 'scram.'”
Hearing the blond man's words, the young girl beside him could not help but laugh foolishly. However, she did not seem worried at all. She obediently let go of the blond man's hand and retreated to the side.
At this moment, the waiter from before had already brought a middle-aged man out from behind. He had obviously heard the conversation between the golden-haired man and Qiao Zidan. With an anxious expression, he said,"Let's talk things out, let's talk things out.”
The blond man gave him a sideways glance." As a manager, you guys are getting better at doing business now?”
The manager wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled apologetically."Young Master Sheng, please don't say that. It's all my fault. This kid just came yesterday and doesn't know the rules. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll arrange a room for you immediately." As he spoke, he turned to Qiao Zidan and said apologetically,"I'm sorry, customer. That room was reserved by Young Master Sheng. Please choose another room.”
The blond man called Young Master Sheng snorted coldly." Even if you want to give up, it won't be so easy. You've already made your stand, so you can't leave.”
" Young Master Sheng, Young Master Sheng, you…" The manager was anxious and had a pleading expression.
Young Master Sheng's eyes flashed sharply." Cut the crap." I'll pay for all the losses."
Qiao Zidan had expressed her stance towards this Young Master Sheng because no one had ever dared to speak to him like this before. Secondly, she had not fought for five years. Today was a rare opportunity for her to move around.
Qiao Zidan took two steps forward, neither arrogant nor impatient."Please advise me."
Young Master Sheng's eyes flashed. He raised his right fist and rushed forward, aiming for Qiao Zidan's chest. His actions were simple and without any fancy moves, but Young Master Sheng's expression changed slightly. This was because the momentum of the opponent's punch had instantly reached its peak under the effect of strength and speed. How could he do this without rich combat experience?
At this moment, Qiao Zidan could not retreat. If he retreated, his opponent's aura would skyrocket, and it would only increase the power of this punch. Therefore, not only did he not retreat, but he also met it head-on. Qiao Zidan took a step forward with her right foot. This step covered a full three meters, directly closing the distance between her and her opponent. Qiao Zidan's goal was very simple. She wanted to disrupt the rhythm of her opponent's attack.
Qiao Zidan's right fist also swung out, and her hand instantly turned transparent and pure blue.
With a dull thud, Young Master Sheng's charging body came to a halt. Qiao Zidan, on the other hand, could not help but stumble back four to five steps before she could regain her balance.
Young Master Sheng's eyes revealed a trace of surprise. He clearly did not expect this youth who looked a few years younger than him to be able to withstand his punch.
What surprised Young Master Sheng the most was Qiao Zidan's fist. He clearly had the upper hand in terms of attack power, but at this moment, his right hand was in so much pain that it felt like it was about to crack. Qiao Zidan's fist was as hard as diamond.
How could Qiao Zidan not be surprised? One had to know that his fist had used a little of the energy of the Vajra Hand. Moreover, his own strength was not compatible with his age. After many years of bitter cultivation in the forest, his strength far exceeded that of ordinary people. Coupled with the characteristics of the Vajra Hand, he still lost despite the combination of three advantages.
The opponent's strength was very firm, but it was not the kind of violent strength. Instead, it was condensed strength. All the strength seemed to be condensed into the size of a fist. The instantaneous explosive shock caused Qiao Zidan's blood and Qi to surge.
"Alright, I'll do it. If you can take a punch from me, you are qualified to be my opponent.”
