Chapter 64 Retribution <TOC> Chapter 66 Psychic Energy Boiling
Translator: SumTLMan
Within the monastery, different Cultists taught different subjects. Cultists who were proficient in manipulation taught reserve Cultists soul transformation, Cultists who were proficient in molding taught reserve Cultists pale flames and other spells, while Cultists who were proficient in enhancement were responsible for teaching physical combat skills.
Cultists who mastered materialization-type psychic abilities were very rare, so there were no specialized Cultists in the monastery who taught materialization-type abilities.
Chewba was a Cultist who taught martial arts. He was of medium build, with no explosive muscles. He was just particularly sturdy, and could even be considered obese.
What set him apart from others were his joints, which were very thick and seemed to be cast from steel.
The only frightening thing about him compared to other Cultists was the crisscrossed scars all over his face. The scars seemed to have been clawed by some kind of fierce beast, and the wounds were deeply ingrained, even though they had already healed, they were still very ferocious and terrifying.
His perception was much more sensitive than that of other Cultists, and even through the winding underground passage, he could still vaguely hear gunfire.
“What’s going on? How can a disciple be shooting? Is it because the blood beasts have escaped from the Blood Source Land?”
Chewba’s first reaction was not to invaders. Because of the existence of the Key to the Door, since the monastery was built, there have been almost no cases of invasion.
The few incidents that did occur were caused by reserve Cultists who, after determining that they were on the elimination list, desperately released the blood beasts in the Blood Source Land, causing considerable chaos in the monastery.
“They thought they could do whatever they wanted after being drained of their power. It’s ridiculous. Psychic energy was not recorded in the key to the door, so they can never escape from this cage. Not to mention these reserve Cultists who haven’t even awakened their psychic energy.”
In the complex terrain of the underground monastery, the destructive power of these blood beasts was enormous.
Chewba grasped the giant sword on the weapon rack and hoisted it onto his shoulder.
The entire sword, forged from cursed blood iron, was incredibly heavy, with a black blade that only reflected a chilling light in the dim light.
“You continue to practice. As long as you don’t leave this classroom, you won’t be killed.”
Chewba said to the reserve monks practicing in the classroom.
Although he did not have a holy relic implanted in him, twenty years of hard practice and the Soul Cult’s secret hidden bone energy had made him an expert. If it weren’t for his innate source essence being insufficient, he would have already advanced to the fourth level.
“Another enjoyable torture session can begin.”
A ferocious smile squeezed out of the scarred face of Chewba. The only way for him to advance to the fourth level was to please the Lord of Souls and make Him display His sanctity to replenish his source essence.
The Lord of Souls loved nothing more than painful souls, so he always tried to torment his opponents’ souls as much as possible in battle.
He pushed open the door of the cave, then sniffed the air for its scent.
Psychic energy being limited to the fifth level doesn’t mean they cannot become stronger.
Chewba had spent years using his limited psychic power to sharpen and strengthen his body, pushing it to its limits.
“A very strong smell of blood.”
He looked puzzled. The smell of blood was too fresh. Although the blood beasts that escaped also had a strong smell of blood, they had an indelible scent of decay.
After carefully distinguishing the direction of the blood smell, he carried his sword and walked towards it. The sharp tip of the sword scraped against the rough rock wall, making a harsh friction sound and sparks flew.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and grabbed the hilt of his sword with both hands, his body stretched taut like a bow. His formerly chubby figure now highlighted the contours of his muscles.
Chewba sensed that the smell of blood in the air had suddenly intensified.
His ears twitched, picking up the sounds in the air.
“Hidden Breath! Which Cultist are you? If you don’t come out now, don’t blame my sword for cutting you down.”
Due to his full force, his figure felt somewhat heavy.
Suddenly, a faint sound of wind came from the air. Something had been thrown at him.
Chewba couldn’t afford to be careless and struck a pose with his sword, blocking the flying object with the broad blade and smashing it away with his strength.
The flying object bounced off the rock wall like a ball and landed on the ground, rolling a few times.
Only then did Chewba recognize what had flown at him.
“Bormann?!”
On the ground was Bormann’s severed head, his face still showing signs of fear and pain.
Chewba’s heart skipped a beat. He had never expected that the arrogant and conceited Bormann would die so quietly, even without making any sounds from his fighting.
His hands were damp with sweat, but Chewba dared not wipe them off.
“Your combat awareness is quite good, compared to your colleagues.”
Li Mu’s figure slowly appeared in the air.
“He only realized it after I cut off one of his hands.”
Chewba slowly breathed, letting the heavy force within his mind become active.
His body lowered, and with his heavy sword held high in his hands, he pointed the tip of the sword at Li Mu.
Li Mu also took a deep breath and pushed the sword hilt with his hand, drawing out his knife.
The so-called sword drawing technique is more suitable for sneak attacks. If you try to draw your sword during combat, you will only lose the initiative and be directly chopped into a blood gourd.
Pale light flickered over his hands. Although it was very weak, it could not be ignored.
Only by having a profound understanding of energy cultivation can one strengthen the inert enhancement system energy and make it externally manifest. As for attaching it to a weapon used in life and death combat, it is not something that a fifth-level awakened person can do.
Li Mu used the White Steel Broken Stream he had just learned to mobilize his energy.
Because he had been irradiated by the Book of Heroes, his energy was even heavier than that of ordinary enhancement awakened people.
“Attack!”
Chewba launched the attack first, and his heavy sword swung with almost no weight.
He stepped forward and thrust his sword.
The sharp blade compressed the air and emitted a terrifying whistling sound, covering most of the tunnel with its exceptionally long blade.
His weapon was much longer than Li Mu’s knife.
Naturally, Li Mu would not directly confront the full force of Chewba’s heavy sword. If he did, this sword might directly cut him and his knife in half.
He cleverly evaded the unstoppable attack, and the sharp tip of the sword almost fell just a short distance away from him.
Li Mu could even clearly smell the iron smell coming from the sword.
When Chewba was about to withdraw his sword with his steps and prepare to strike again, Li Mu used both hands to strike the front end of the heavy sword with his knife.
In some swordsmanship schools, the section far from the sword hilt is called the weak sword body, and the section near the sword hilt is called the strong sword body. When fighting the enemy, you attack with the swift weak sword body and defend with the strong sword body.
This chop directly exposed Chewba’s opening, and Li Mu’s knife light was as fine as a thread as he directly swung his knife to pick at Chewba’s arm.
