Chapter 55: Comprehension
Three days later,
Nian Zhen was resting in his room which he had rented upon his arrival. Over the past three days, Huo Wu has started to adapt well in the slaughter city. Right after getting her ID, she was explained many things by her temporary guardian. The next day she started to directly take part in the Hell Slaughter Arena. Regarding Nian Zhen, no one working for the Slaughter King has found out about him. Even if the slaughter king tries to sense the surroundings, he is not able to detect Nian Zhen.
"Sigh….I should have come together with Tang San. I wanted to see the Old Man cry when he sees Ah Yin's image in Tang San's spirit. Damn I am stupid." Nian Zhen sighed. He wanted to see the miserable appearance of the Tang Hao but…
[Still it will take Hu Liena at least a year before she comes here. Though Bibi Dong wanted her to follow Xie Yue and Yan to the death valley, if even after the Host's interference Hu Liena could come to the Slaughter City.]
"Well, that is good. I have told Huo Wu to not be too fast to win games. After every game, the killing intent in her body will start to get out of control. I will tell her to rest for a long time after every other match." Nian Zhen thought. Winning her first battle, Huo Wu could not control her Killing Intent well and needed Nian Zhen's help to suppress it. Nian Zhen had already reminded her to lay a solid foundation after every match so that her killing intent will be stable.
[Hmm. Host should not forget about his own practice as well. If there is still a year left for Hu Liena to arrive, the host must utilise this time to comprehend laws.]
"Why? You think I will not practice when she comes?"
[Yes, the host will put his body and soul to coax Hu Liena.]
"Sigh…."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time is like a river, A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
The outside world had become so quiet that it felt like the quiet before the storm. Even ordinary people felt that something was going to happen in the future. The top level existences had long felt a bad premonition from the day Nian Zhen had stepped into the mainland. Even in such silence, the influence of Chi Yue did not stop rising. It had risen so high that the three upper sects and spirit hall could no longer ignore it. Even though it was not shown publicly, in the shadows the 5 groups were constantly fighting each other so that they can still have a hegemon foothold in the mainland.
Currently at the Slaughter City, Huo Wu was getting popular not only for her outstanding figure but also for her fighting style. Only one word could describe her. "Ruthless"
After three months of being in the slaughter city, Huo Wu completely adapted to the killings and environment here. Laying a strong foundation due to Nian Zhen's help, she was able to control her Killing Intent in a very high level, even winning most veteran warriors in the Hell Slaughter Arena. What shocked the audience was her way of ending a match. As soon as the match starts, she closes up to the strongest of the 9 opponents she has to face and kills that person in a flash. Taking advantage of the shock of her opponents, she then kills the remaining pests and wins in less than 5 min. Adding up to that, the aura and killing intent that Huo Wu released was like the hottest and the most dangerous fire in the world.
Not only her cultivation base improved due to Nian Zhen's tempering, her rank also skyrocketed. From lvl 40, she has directly broken through to lvl 47 in just a span of a year. One could understand what it meant to advance 7 levels in a year with just slight tempering. It meant her talent was above the sky.
Nian Zhen was basically happy and relieved when he saw this. He did not waste time either. He had sent 4 of his clones to look around and infiltrate the slaughter kings organization. As far as his comprehension of laws went, it was improving steadily. But the unknown law could not improve at all. No matter how many times Nian Zhen tried, the law did not respond at all. So, he could only give up and focus on other Law's.
Currently, Nian Zhen was outside of Slaughter City. It had been a month since he had last seen Huo Wu. A clone had been left behind to take care of her. As far as three months ago, Huo Wu found out that Nian Zhen could use clones but could only form one at a time. So, any doubts were also dispelled. Nian Zhen was a cautious guy. The reason for not meeting Huo Wu for a whole month was due to Hu Liena's arrival. In the novel, it was not specified when Hu Liena arrived at the Slaughter City, it was only stated that she came one year earlier than Tang San. meaning 1 year after the Continental Tournament.
Nian Zhen had roughly guessed that Hu Leina must arrive at any moment this week as he had been keeping close surveillance anywhere near the Slaughter City entrance. At this moment a huge force spread around from Nian Zhen's body. A strong and comfortable feeling appeared in Nian Zhen's body. He was secretly relieved to have conjured a barrier. Otherwise with such a strong spiritual wave, the slaughter king was bound to find out.

"Hmm, they are good moves. But I won't hunt a spirit beast for the time being. Let's collect more raw energy for now. As for the Law Comprehension, it is going well. But, I am still lacking behind. The plan will start in less than 5 years. Before that I must immediately raise all of my Law Comprehension Stats to above 70%" Nian Zhen thought with a smile when he suddenly felt a fluctuation in space 3 miles away, as a black robed figure appeared.
