Chapter 103: Reaching the Second Difficulty (Second Part)

The copper lamp’s light was weak and had started to flicker . Mu Yi felt as if he was going to fall asleep . He stopped moving too . The black shadow also felt weak but when he saw that Mu Yi seemed to be in worse shape than him, he felt happy .

He released more strength . He collided with the copper lamp again . The light in the lamp was about to go out .

“Little Yi!” a voice called .

Mu Yi was absent-minded but he heard someone calling him . The voice sounded familiar .

Who’s calling me? he thought .

Mu Yi felt lost . His consciousness was fading .

“Little Yi!” said the voice again .

The voice sounded so familiar . Mu Yi couldn’t figure out whose voice it was . The voice had managed to prevent Mu Yi’s soul from leaving his body . Mu Yi gradually came back to his senses, as if the sheer will to figure out who the voice belonged to was enough of a reason to survive .

“Little Yi!” the voice called .

Finally, he was able to sense something moving in front of him when he heard the voice this time . Even though his vision was blurry as if was in the middle of a fog . He also figured out whose voice it was . It was the old Taoist Priest that was calling him .

“Grandpa, is that you?” shouted Mu Yi .

Unfortunately, nobody replied . Mu Yi knew that the old man was near him though .

I can’t die . He thought .

He felt more determined than ever to win . While he was thinking and rebuilding his determination, he felt something break inside of him . The black shadow kept attacking Mu Yi . He was convinced he had won .

Mu Yi had no strength left . Yet, the black shadow was sure that after he took possession of Mu Yi’s body, he’d be able to recover . Finally, the lamp went off after his constant attacks .

The black shadow looked absolutely delighted . He was even a bit dumbstruck . He hadn’t thought that it would happen so fast . He giggled frantically and threw himself at Mu Yi again . Nothing could stop him anymore .

As the black shadow threw himself at Mu Yi, Mu Yi broke through! Mu Yi had the feeling he had suddenly gotten rid of a huge burden in his heart . It was if his blood was boiling and about to explode . His face turned red .

The black shadow crashed into the blood strength head on and shrieked horribly . He retreated faster than he had attacked .

“His blood Qi exploded? He reached the second difficulty? How’s that possible? Why is his blood Qi so dense? Why would he level up now?” shouted the black shadow furiously .

Nobody replied to him though . Mu Yi sensed that chains inside his body had been broken . His perception became even more acute . He felt all the strength he had accumulated over time becoming available .

When Mu Yi punched the wooden dummy before, he was wondered what the heat he sensed in his body was and where it came from . Unfortunately, nobody could help him understand back them . Now, he understood .

He sensed the change in his body . It was as if he could see inside of his body . A round light surrounded him . It was different from the light of the copper lamp . It was filled with warmth . It kept flowing and growing around him . It was as if the light contained an unlimited amount of strength which kept brushing against his body .

Mu Yi sensed that he had become stronger . He felt so strong that it was like he had been reborn . His body had changed and it wasn’t done, it was still changing . The kind of change it was going through couldn’t be completed within such a short amount of time .

He had used all his mind strength a few minutes before . He had been completely suppressed, every time, he pushed himself to the limits . His mind strength was injured in the process, but now, he could feel his mind strength healing quickly .

It healed rising from ten percent to twenty percent to fifty percent to a hundred percent . When his mind strength reached one hundred percent and its original level it didn’t stop increasing . It rose over his previous maximum threshold . His mind strength became more powerful .

From a hundred and twenty percent to a hundred and eighty percent to two hundred percent and then three hundred percent . Mu Yi was kind of scared . His mind strength was increasing exponentially and he couldn’t believe it . Was this the second difficulty?

Mu Yi had been waiting for an opportunity to reach the second opportunity . He had almost died but he had survived and he had broke through . He had no experience but he wasn’t confused or panicked about the situation . He had thought about the process more than once . It was different from what he had thought but he could imagine what was happening to his body . He was progressing .

Mu Yi looked over at the black shadow . The black shadow was about to finish the fight . He would have never thought things would happen like that . How come right now? What had happened? It was incredibly annoying for him .

He had experience unlike Mu Yi . He knew what was going on . Mu Yi had reached the second difficulty which meant that he wouldn’t be able to defeat him anymore . Even worse, he was potentially now in life-threatening danger and unable to escape .

He was also furious and didn’t want to give up . He had thought the opponent at the top of the mountain would be an easy one . He had thought he’d use a little strength and the person would be very helpful in the future .

He hadn’t thought that Mu Yi, a Taoist monk of the first difficulty, would have more powers than a monk of the second difficulty . The copper lamp for example which was a precious treasure and that he would break through during their battle .

A precious item like the copper lamp had different effects if different people used it . After having gone through hardships, tribulations and being injured everything about Mu Yi was different .

“People have seven mortal forms which correspond to the seven chakras . The seven chakras can rob Heaven and Earth of their creative powers . It is said that a heavenly curse prevents people from using their seven chakras, and in order to use them, we have to break the chains which prevent us from using them,” said a voice inside Mu Yi’s head .

The voice was emotionless, cold, and detached . It was a rather random explanation regarding the second difficulty and the mystery of the seven chakras .

Grandpa, is that you? thought Mu Yi

He was actually shouting on the inside but nobody replied . The voice didn’t stop at all .

“The seven chakras are…” it continued .
