C38 Laws

Kyle was watching these events with his mouth wide open.

The things that happened were too fast for him to follow up.

The two were just battling it all out, but once the lady cultivator shouted and summoned her domain. Not even ten seconds passed by, and she suddenly fell on the ground unconsciously.

The child dragon made a strange attack that defeated the lady cultivator in a single breathe.

Clearly... He was out of the lady's league from the very start, yet he only showed his true prowess after exchanging thousands of blows.

Fortunately for the lady cultivator, the child dragon showed mercy and didn't finish her off.

Kyle remained at the 13th lines and watch the unconscious lady at the destroyed open grounds.

Obviously, he couldn't go to her and help, since he couldn't even step beyond the 13th line; much less the open area where it was beyond the 20th line.

"Are you ok?" Kyle asked a stupid question.

He can not just leave the injured lady alone, so he tried to shout and hoped for her to hear him.

But the lady did not give any response and continued to lay on the floor.

Since there was nothing he could do, he stopped calling for her and re-organized his thoughts.

Kyle felt that he already did what he could do to help, and there's nothing else he could do to help any further, so he forgot about her and remembered the events that happened just a while ago.

The lady might have lost, but both of them impressed Kyle and opened his eyes for a new way to improve himself.

Kyle had been trying to understand the way they use their Nature Element.

"Hmmm, It feels like they incorporate their Nature Elements with their surroundings. The lady summoned Bolts of Lightning and Thunders out of thin air, but is it really out of thin air? Do they already have the understanding of the world's Laws or Truths?" Kyle asked himself.

The ways the lady cultivator had used her Lightning Element was quite similar to those he had read about the Laws and Truths of the world.

But learning those kinds of understandings, usually, could only be used by those who were at the peak.

The child dragon's attacks were also quite different.

The attack he used to defeat the lady cultivator was something that was even harder for the current Kyle to understand.

It felt similar to his Haoshoku, but it also felt a lot different. He was getting confused on thinking about it, so he focused on the lady's attacks.

"Her attacks affected the spaces around her, so maybe if I apply my power in the same way; I could achieve a similar attack like her," Kyle thought.

He had already tried this a while back, but he doesn't have a clue on how to apply it.

Now that he had seen it first hand. He felt a huge breakthrough in understanding the laws of the world.

He wasn't profound in using his space Nature, so he used his Gura Gura no mi and tried to apply it with his surroundings.

His Gura Gura no mi wasn't his Nature Element, but it was quite similar since he had been using it to break the spaces for the longest time.

Kyle felt that he could use it the same way the lady applied her Lightning on her surrounding.

Of course... He doesn't know how she did it, but he made a few guesses here and there, from the way the lady used it on her attacks.

He sat in a lotus position and gave his all focus in understanding the laws around him.

Minutes later.....

*Dururruug... durururrug...* the ground around him started to tremble, but only for a few seconds before it stopped.

A total of 2-3 meters around him got affected and trembled, but the space above the ground didn't.

Kyle made a slight improvement in understanding his power. His improvements were really small since he was only learning it from observing the lady, but this slight improvement had already made Kyle felt relieved.

This might be only a minor accomplishment, but to Kyle who had no further knowledge about the laws of the world, except for the books that he read in his past life; was already a huge step for him in understanding the laws of the world.

He continued to train like this for a few hours until he hears someone waking up.

(Feng Yexue POV)

The lady cultivator that was named as Feng Yexue woke up.

She opened her eyes and groggily stood up. Her face had a look of disappointment on it as he scours the surrounding.

She looked around while carefully holding her bearings.

Feng Yexue felt someone staring at her, so she looks at its source.

She found Kyle who had now stopped training and was looking at her in curiosity.

She wondered why the boy was looking at her, but then she realized that she just came out from a battle.

She remembered her clothes being torn while battling, so she looked down.

And yes, she was right. Her clothes have a few torn marks due to the claws of the child dragon.

Fortunately... It only revealed a few slits and wasn't torn all the way.

But this was already shameful for her, especially to her who had the pride of a genius since birth.

She had always been the priority importance in her family since her childhood days, so her clan pampered her and obeyed everything that she ordered.

She might have had a personality that acted like a tease in front of men in the past, but she was still like an innocent bud; that wasn't experienced to those adult stuff.

She looked at Kyle in a flustered way, but it didn't last for long and her expression changed from flustered to cold.

The distance between them was quite far, but for cultivators like them a few hundred meters were nothing, so she thought that Kyle was perversely staring at her.

She immediately took a new set of clothes from her storage ring and summoned a small tent.

She immediately went inside the tent and without casting another glance to Kyle.

She changed her clothes and took a lot of different kinds of furniture out from her storage ring and carefully placed them inside the tent.

Feng Yexue had been living here inside the Ancient Pagoda for a couple of months now, so she was already used in preparing her own quarters.

She might have been training at the formation when Kyle came in, but there were times where she still wanted to take a rest and sleep.

Fortunately... she was prepared and brought a few necessities with her before he came here at the Misty Ruins.

She was already quite used to living here inside the Ancient Pagoda.

Every time she battled with the dragon. They always caused a lot of destruction, so she always stores her living quarters back whenever she comes back to train at the formation.

"Huh... I lost again. Xi'er, don't worry, I'll return with the herb soon, just wait for sister ok?" She comforted herself with a painful expression on her face while thinking about her last battle.

She had always been trying to pass the child dragon's test for a few months now, yet she still couldn't defeat him.

But it wasn't for naught since the child dragon had been showing his true prowess more, on every battle that they had.

She felt that she was improving each day, and it made the child dragon fought seriously against her.

She didn't know why the child dragon always let her live after defeating her, however, since she needed to finish the trials and bring the Legendary Herb back to her little sister; she took advantage of the child dragon's mercy and kept on challenging him.

She knew it was a suicide move to keep on challenging the dragon, but since the child dragon always let her live, she made a gamble and continued to challenge the child dragon while getting stronger and learning more understandings about the laws each day.

There were a lot of youth geniuses who came here at the Ancient Pagoda ever since she arrived here, but the child dragon didn't give them any mercy and directly killed them off after passing the 20th line.

She guessed that the child dragon might have any reason for letting her live with her life, but she didn't care.

Her priorities were to take the Legendary Herb back, so she was willing to stay here until she finished the trials.

Feng Yexue knew that she had no chance against the child dragon currently, but she had faith in herself.

She had made a lot of improvements by staying here and fighting the child dragon for months, so she was confident in surpassing the child dragon before her 2-year deadline.

She calmed herself and exited the tent.

When she came out, the first thing she saw was Kyle who made a silent nod to her.

Seeing him made her quite irritated, but now that she had organized her thoughts.

She had now realized that the boy who was a distance away from her might only be staring at her due to curiosity.

So her irritation against him had now diminished and she returned with a nod.
