Xianxia: Why am I here?

53  Something is off

Sitting under the waterfall, Wang had some ideas based on the records in the spear manual and wanted to explore them. His body was indeed benefiting from this but he had yet to accomplish his goal, over the years of fighting everywhere he had accumulated strong killing intent and spear force, that seemed to be always around his body, He wanted to use his willpower to compress the spear force completely until it underwent qualitative leap, but this was not easy to achieve as it had more than just sitting there and letting water whip at his body.

Wang's body was slowly being tempered but it seemed that the issue of spearman-ship was not going his way, in the end, he decided to stop being irritable since his body was gaining benefits. The water kept hitting on his body over and over again and eventually just gave up trying to deal with the spear force, and the passage of time allowed his body to try and confront the water hitting him. He knew that it would take more effort to be able to reach the level of spear master. He is thus going to take the progress that he can accomplish at the moment after all he has taken more than four years to get to this point and some patience is still necessary for him.

On the side of the waterfall, Wang was preparing to make a meal after having spent the entire day withstanding the water falling on him. His muscles were aching, but he could still hold on. Taking the spear he headed towards the forest, to hunt for something to eat especially with the increase in strength his consumption is already high. In the period of time in the forest both Wang and the wild cow following him had already reached a new height compared to before and the number of resources they have consumed is not a small amount, From the ones he had purchased which at the moment was all gone to the ones he gathered in the forest after killing some strong beasts.

After moving through the forest for some distance he discovered that even the common beasts he is usually used to seeing and has no interest in killing seemed to be missing. This in itself was more like a red flag, after all the fact that the beasts escaped indicated the fact that an even stronger creature was in the vicinity and thus he had to be more careful as much as he did not want to retreat. "The beasts in this region seem to have run away, or are they hiding? But this is not normal unless some very strong monster has stepped in this area, scaring off the beasts around here."

This kind of situation was not new as he had seen it several times over the period he has been in the forest and thus he was just not sure what kind of beast was causing all this. If he could not defeat it, then he would have to go and locate other places which in itself is a lot of work. But he did not seem to be bothered by this situation at all, since he was aware that such situations are normal after all during the day, he tried to push himself to attain an artistic conception of the spear and failed. Since his body was aching he did not have the focus to complain about some small issues.

 As he moved he put his vigilance up and when he had just covered another four hundred meters, he saw some hills in the distance, and the moment he reached this area, he felt the ground tremble.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With the sound, he retreated fast and the spear on his back was pulled, and looking to his left, he could see some brown afterimage covering his line of sight. His spear was released in a rotation fashion and at the same time, thrust forward toward the shadow. In the end, the afterimage had retreated faster than it appeared. Wang retreated with some pale color on her face, but the huge ape embedded in the hill in the distance seemed to have also received some real damage too.

The huge ape in the distance seemed too angry and started to make noise as it looked at Wang but also some wariness also seemed to come into its eyes, a huge wound could be seen on its chest.

Roar!

The ape was angry and in its anger attacked him again for wounding it, and this was a high-level confrontation that he had experienced for the first time in a long time. For some reason, he was more interested in the stick the huge ape was swinging and he could not help but be shocked since the power being generated from its attacks seemed to be even stronger than Wang's and he was somewhat competitive, and the grip on his spear had already become tighter. He had used the spear for a long time until wilding it had become second nature so when he felt threatened his first reaction was reaching out for the spear.

In less than a minute the two had clashed for more than a hundred times and the injuries on both of them were not shallow, thankfully it did not affect their foundation.

Whoosh!

Both were just left behind after images with every collision and the sound of spears piercing through the air and sticks from the monkey colliding at a fast pace.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment the two made contact they would retreat and yet it was somehow comical how a huge ape and tiny human were clashing without the other loss in momentum.

Although the ape was huge, in the collision, it was just swinging the stick out from instinct yet it almost had achieved artistic conception. There were also wounds on its body that seemed to have accumulated from fighting Wang and which implied that the attacks from Wang were indeed strong. But the ape did not attack again but rather rushed in another direction, and Wang did not follow along as he was also more interested in finding food and could see that that ape was strong to survive close to one million Kg force attack. Other than shock on Wang's face there was also some astonishment on the huge ape's face after this confrontation.

He was also aware that it would be difficult to actually keep the ape when it run off since the amount of power it had was above him, but rather the utilization of the stick was not yet perfected otherwise the power generated from it would be very difficult for him to withstand at his current level.

In the same way, he was somehow regretful and planned to locate this ape some other time to continue this fight at the same time was wondering how it used the stick, but this was all for a moment before he started to move again in another direction as he had to obtain something to eat, or his training would be hard, as the energy he needed was too huge, and this can all be said due to the Indestructible Pragna reaching the third level, and regardless of the resources he collected he did not see the hope of reaching the fourth level yet.

The number of resources he would need for this was obviously abundant and his range of activities in the forest for the past four years has been near the center of the forest, and despite not daring to enter the region, he still spend most of his time consuming the resources around the center, and he followed the river all along.

"I'm indeed very hungry! I should hunt more prey for tomorrow too, since I focus on training I need to have enough resources every time to avoid the situation like last time." Indeed there was a time when he just faced an improvement in body art and the energy required was so much that almost caused him to suffer some serious problems, and he was forced to consume all the medical materials he had on him, just to alleviate the situation. But the situation happening again when he does not have anything to make up for the energy would indeed make his situation very unbearable, and thus he thought it best to try avoiding such cases.

With the improvement in the control of his body, the spear thrusts seem to have also benefited a lot and he was fighting the ape, he also realized this and even thought about using the enemy's force and redirecting them by applying the principles of the Sea Calming Manual. This is something that he can barely comprehend even with the very high potential he has at the moment, but when he had nothing going on in his mind like this he often gains some insights that he incorporates into the spear movements.

As he was moving in the forest lost in thought, he suddenly heard a huge "boom".
