Lost In The Forest

Fortunately, he hadn't accumulated a lot of Qi droplets. Otherwise, who knows how much further he would have ended up.

After resting for half an hour, he finally felt a bit better—though he was still a bit paled, devoided of strength as the final bit of Qi has left his body.

The Qi whirlpool inside his body also stopped working. Tian Feng struggled to find a comfortable place to replenish his Qi in the middle of this thick forest.

He wanted to leave this forest as soon as possible. However, there's only one way to achieve that—executing this movement technique once again.

With this plan in mind, Tian Feng began to absorb Qi from all around him at a breakneck pace.

The powerful flow of Qi effectively prompted all monster beasts in the area to flee in a frenzy.

The Qi whirlpool began absorbing Qi once more, thus increased the already insane absorption rate a level further.

An hour later, a frown slowly etched itself on Tian Feng's tiny forehead.

"This world sure is strange. The Qi in the area always exhausted after I absorbed them a bit."

However, this wasn't the time to worry about such things, so he swiftly moved to another place, and began absorbing Qi once again.

What he didn't know was how sick his absorption speed was. If it were another cultivator, they wouldn't be able to drain Qi from this area even if they were to absorb it their entire life.

Tian Feng repeatedly changed place a few times in different directions, and it didn't take long before he got the required amount of Qi droplet.

"Mom must be waiting for me," Tian Feng felt a bit relieved as he was about to leave this forest.

First, he needed to get back to his original location, then he needed to face the direction which he came from before executing the technique again.

"I didn't imagine that this technique would be so hard to control," Tian Feng murmured as he walked toward his previous location.

"Wait a minute! Perhaps, it was due to my panic that I was unable to control it. In other words, it was due to my state of mind wasn't up to par."

He rooted in one spot as this realization dawned upon him. Technically, he had already mastered this technique from the system earlier.

With this idea popped up, Tian Feng was unable to shake it away. As a result, he decided to attempt another trial of the technique.

"I've already experienced it once. However fast it is, I would probably not panic again. My state of mind probably had already increased."

Deep within his consciousness, the system that hasn't overcome her depression became even more depressed. "Your state of mind increased? Phew! I might have believed if it had decreased instead."

However, Tian Feng was unable to hear the system's opinion. He was full of confident and proud as he found a way to try the technique safely. This time he isolated one of his Qi droplets first, just in case he still couldn't fully control his reaction speed.

In the worst case, it would ensure that he wouldn't get too far away.

Wooh!

In a blink of an eye, an entire drop of Qi was expended, consequently delivered Tian Feng to some unknown place in the middle of the forest again.

Tian Feng didn't care too much about this as he felt his reaction speed did indeed improved a little.

With excitement in his eyes, he turned to face the direction he came from earlier and repeated the technique once more.

It was indeed improving! Tian Feng was jumping in happiness. He looked around, but he found that he didn't return to the previous location—he ended up in another new place.

After thinking for a moment, it made sense as well since there was no way his memory would be as accurate as a compass.

But this realization didn't help much as he was now thoroughly lost inside this forest.

The system burst into a cry.

"How can he be so stupid? Where is my rightful master?"

Deep within his consciousness, the system was wailing and coughing up a mouthful of imaginary blood. "Revered Master! I have failed you with my carelessness. With this kind of person, even a thousand years would not be enough to make him shoulder your great responsibilities."

After a while, the system had a look of desolation, then it was replaced with determination. "Revered Master! Please rest assured. With me around, even a pig can become a dragon. I'll do whatever it takes to make him stronger."

Due to the lack of power, she was only able to transmigrate Tian Feng into his one-year-old body. It would be ideal to be transmigrated directly into a sixteen-years-old body—that would skip several years of his uselessness as well as allowing him to train his state of mind.

Alas, there was no changing what had happened.

Of all aspects that a cultivator would be training in, the state of mind was the hardest to train. There was barely any shortcut at all.

"There's still a way around that," said the system. She was a bit reluctant and worried as she looked at Tian Feng for a moment longer before a glint of determination flashed through her eyes.

"Fate works mysteriously. Since there is fated between us, I won't abandon you, my master. We shall dominate the multiverses together.

"To train your state of mind, you'll have to live without me for several years to experience the original life as it is."

It was unknown why she had talked so much when she knew that Tian Feng wouldn't be able to hear her.

After declaring that, she decisively went into hibernation, effectively turning off the system for Tian Feng as well.

Tian Feng wasn't panicked even after realizing that he had lost inside this forest. He calmly called out to the system, "System! How can I go back to my mom?"

Silence!

Tian Feng began to feel uneasy as he repeatedly called out a few more times.

There was still no response. "Could it be that the system had lost its power again?"

"But this doesn't seem to be the case. I couldn't feel any connection at all."
