Skeleton Boar

His hands started to get wet and a little water covered the truffle as a bubble. The washing was quick and all the dirt was removed.

That was the power of the water element.

Channeling the energies of the world and transforming it into water. It even looks like magic.

"It tastes good" Liu Yang didn't want to miss this opportunity so he ate the truffle. He didn't know if the crystal would absorb the energies again.

The sweet, smooth taste spread through Liu Yang's mouth before descending down his throat and into the stomach. Hot energy exploded and spread through his body before it disappeared.

"So this is the feeling of eating a natural treasure" Liu Yang always read in the novels the feeling of eating something like that. But the sensation is more normal than it appeared.

"The taste of the truffle is not much different from eating a soft and juicy sweet. But it was very good and my energy recovered much faster. This is better than meditation, but I better refine these energies better so there are no problems" Liu Yang ate the whole truffle in a few bites before sitting on the floor cross-legged to meditate and refine the energies completely.

"I think that after leaving this mystical realm, I will try to advance to the late level of the Natural Harmony Stage. Or I can find a suitable place to do this in here." Liu Yang felt that his body was almost at the limit of energy.

When that limit is reached, a cultivator can no longer accumulate energy from the world in his body. Unless he has a breakthrough so that the body becomes stronger and can store a larger amount.

Liu Yang's choice to learn the five elements gave some advantages and disadvantages. Because the five elements need energy from the world to be stronger, so Liu Yang had to decide which element to level first.

Or he could level the five at the same time. So, one level of each element at a time. In the end, all elements would have the same level after the round.

Liu Yang has not yet decided whether he would do that or not.

Currently, he had only one element at level 2, the water element. The other four elements were still at level 1.

…

The rest lasted about half an hour, Liu Yang wasted no time and continued his journey in search of more special items to improve his cultivation.

During his walk, he encountered more other skeletons, but they were easily defeated by Liu Yang, although he had to work a little.

The energy spheres were always absorbed by the crystal inside his body, but this time, the spheres still contained some energy.

It seems that the crystal started to leave some energy for Liu Yang to absorb. This made him very excited.

Before, Liu Yang thought it would take a while for him to have the breakthrough. But the current scenario was quite favorable for him.

That way, he could get ahead if he gets more energy spheres by defeating the skeletons. The only problem is if he finds some other cultivator and the other side tries to steal him.

His random walks were very rewarding, Liu Yang found another truffle next to another big tree.

As before, the crystal absorbed ninety percent of the energy and the rest was absorbed by Liu Yang.

As a poor and bottomless grower, Liu Yang had no bags or objects to help him keep things. So he chose to eat the truffle again and refine the energies.

The energies inside his body were almost at the limit, a little more and he will have to find a suitable place to make the breakthrough.

…

Walking a little further ...

clang !!! clang !!!!! booooom !!!! booooom !!!

Metal sounds colliding with metal are heard in a nearby location.

Liu Yang was looking at the trees and shrubs that were in front of him. He was thoughtful about what to do, as the noise was in the direction he was walking.

"What should I do?" Liu Yang pondered. He did not want to get involved with the other cultivators unless it was necessary.

But before he could think of what to do, something happened.

"Ahh !!!!"

shuooo !!!!! booom !!!!

A person was sent towards him and fell heavily to the ground. He was covered in wounds and blood was running.

Looking at the young man who fell, Liu Yang failed to recognize him.

"Low level of the Body Opening Stage." Liu Yang murmured. He managed to feel the cultivation of the fallen young man.

(I think this guy must be from some influential clan) Looking at the magic sword in the young man's hands, Liu Yang thought that the young man might be a member of a branch of some clan.

"Yao Ju, are you okay ??? !!!" A young woman came running with an anxious and worried face. She also had some injuries on her body, but she was not as heavy as the young man lying on the floor.

The young woman was covered in dirt and with some parts of her clothes torn and covered in blood.

"Coff ... Coff ... Yes. I'm fine, but I think three ribs were broken" Yao Ju tried to speak, but he coughed up blood first.

Both hands were holding his chest because of the pain.

"Who are you?" The young woman was cautious when she saw Liu Yang from three meters away looking at them with strange looks.

"I'm nobody. I'm just passing by ... "Liu Yang replied, but before he could finish speaking, a shout was heard.

"Yao Ju, Yao An !!! CAUTION!!!!" An anxious voice called from the other side.

Suddenly, something came out of the bush and carried the double wound to the ground.

A skeleton. The thing that came out was a skeleton, but the skeleton was not like a human the ones Liu Yang found before.

This time, the skeleton that appeared was of an adult boar, but very big. The skeleton was about three meters high and two meters long. The two fangs coming out of the mouth were half a meter long and looked like two swords curved upward.

Roar !!!!!

A powerful roar came out of its skeletal mouth. Its charge seemed unstoppable.

The pair lying on the ground no longer had the strength to defend themselves, they could only close their eyes and wait for the result.

"Earth Spike" Liu Yang, who was casually looking at the situation, spoke slowly before he hit the ground hard.

The soil in front of the boar was lifted, but not quite. When the boar passed by, the stone pillar was lifted and pierced through the bones.

roar !!!!!!!!!!!!
