Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 55

After Wang Wei woke up, he still had a massive headache. He felt like his head was constantly ringing like the bronze bells in a Taoist Temple. He became confused and could not remember much. He knew his name, but forgot everything else for a moment; he forgot the date, the place he was and what reason he was there.

It wasn’t until the next day that Wang Wei returned to normal. After which, he started thinking about the state he previously was in and the reason for it. More importantly, how can he re-entered it again and minimized the side effects.

After contemplating for a while, Wang Wei came up with the explanation that this was the result of his powerful soul. When he concentrates or focuses on one task, he can enter a state similar to bullet time in which everything will slow down and his reaction time will dramatically increase, and his brain computing power will also exponentially increase.

Wang Wei knew that this state was excellent for ordinary fights like the ones in the Spirit Road Trial, but when it comes to fighting between cultivators, it will have a minimal effect. However, this state was what Wang Wei needed the most right now.

Wang Wei was planning to train himself to the point that he can actually fight Body Refining Realm 1st and 2nd Layer as a mortal. This was a great task as there was a great difference between mortals and cultivators.

Even in the 9 Layers of Body Refining Realm, the first 2 Layers are completely different from ordinary people. An example is that Wang Wei currently can lift close to 1000 jin or 500 kg due to bathing in spiritual qi for countless years and drinking and eating nutritious food everyday. However, a person in the Body Refining 1-Layer will have at least 2000 jin or 1000kg of strength.

As such, this task is very difficult. As for the reason for doing this? It is of course in order to fight with Ji Song.

Most special physiques do not provide the people who possess them with any benefit without starting to cultivate. In fact, without cultivating, people with special physique might not even discover their uniqueness and spend all of their life as ordinary people.

However, there are exceptions--especially with the top 5 physiques.

The #1 Absolute Chaos Physique is actually quite arrogant. Without a cultivation technique at least at the level of Saint, you can never cultivate with this physique. Any energy cultivated--that is not the level of Saint--will be swallowed by the user’s body itself. The majority of people with this physique will be labeled as waste that cannot cultivate, unless someone who knows about the characteristics of the Absolute Chaos Physique notices the difference.

The #3 Seven Emotions Six Desires Physique will provide its owner with an overwhelming amount of beauty and charm. Even without cultivating, the owner will have some slight charming abilities, and all of them are usually extremely beautiful--both men and women.

The #4 Yin Yang Eyes will provide the owner with the ability to see things that normal people cannot observe: like souls, ghosts, killing intent, luck, and even the spiritual qi in the air. Wang Wei’s eyes only have partial abilities of the Yin Yang Eyes.

The #5 Five Elements Balance Physique will provide its owner with a long life span. Without cultivating, a person with this physique can live for more than 200 years, which is comparable to Body Refining Realm cultivators.

As for the #2 Heavy Axe Physique that Ji Song has, it will provide its owner with boundless strength or Innate Divine Strength.

As a result, Wang Wei knew that he was not Ji Song’s opponent right now as the crown prince currently has the strength of Body Refining 2nd-Layer.

Of course Wang Wei also knew that he still had a slight chance at winning. Although Ji Song had the physical strength of Body Refining Realm cultivators, he did not have their speed, nerve response, and control of the body through Blood Qi. As such, as long as Wang Wei used the right technique, he could still win the fight.

Wang Wei spent more than a week to properly recuperate. In fact, he had healed after about three days, but spent the rest of the time training to be able to enter and exit the mysterious state at will, and also found a way to minimize the side effects.

After healing, he headed out again to start his hunt anew.

Soon time passed and only five months were left for the Spirit Road Trial to end. The second segment has been going for some time now.

Somewhere near a valley, more than 20 people surrounded a man dressed in animal leather, while a bunch of other people watched the fight and commented on it.

"Who is that person being surrounded?" asked a thin teenager.

"That’s the Hunter," responded another burly man with fear and respect in his eyes. The burly man was accompanied by a group of three: one female archer, one swordsman, and one person with a dagger.

"Who’s the Hunter?" asked the thin man in response. The burly man looked at him weirdly, then said. "You must not be from nearby Regions?"

The thin man smiled wryly in acknowledgement of this statement.

"The Hunter is a powerful participant that has fought and killed most of the powerful Heaven Chosen in the nearby regions in the North-Eastern Domain. Only a few people have managed to survive from his hands," explained the burly man, who was the captain of the team of four.
