1270 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 20

Chapter 1270

(Unedited)

…

The sound of compressed air sounded out from the rifle. It was not that loud, but it is not that silent either.

France Roye frowns when he realized that the young man is actually teasing him.

"You… you deliberately wanted to go here, right? Crafty little bugger…" France could not help but shake his head.

But when his eyes landed on the demon a few distances on the ground, he could not help but have his eyes bulge.

How could he not feel flabbergasted when he is looking at a dead demon with a hole on its head?

"How… how could that be?" he was stunned and did not know what to say.

"Hehe… That my friend is my secret…" Xin Ja said as he stood up and then looks at the ground.

He saw another one and took an aim and then shoot again.

Another roaming demon was killed.

Xin Ja did not stop there and grab this chance to continue hunting the demons.

Not long later, France has already recovered from his stupor and decided to harvest the dead demons.

Right now, Xin Ja could not be happier than ever. This is because he has finally broken through to the Ki Adept realm.

He could feel the power coursing through his body, and then entering the spheres in his dantian. Inside the large protective sphere in his dantian now has 11 spheres pulsating with power.

He could not understand why those that are in the Ki Adept feel stronger than those in the lower realms. But for Xin Ja something is different. He might have reached the 11th level, but right now his dantian feels empty.

It was like when he was breaking through a while ago, all of the Ki energy inside his dantian was absorbed by the 11th sphere.

As his consciousness delve inside his dantian and then to the 11th sphere, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Usually, the spheres in his dantian are just packets that hold Ki. They are there to help him increase his strength and physique. They are also there to give him power.

But when he reached the 10th level, he learned how to be sensitive and how to dive inside his own dantian.

And what he is seeing rights now are ten small spheres like small planets revolving on their own axis. Then he noticed a larger one. The large one looks like a rock, something without life.

He frowned when he saw this and tried to investigate further.

He now could see that the large planet-like sphere truly does not have any life.

"Does this mean that I don't have any Ki?" he thought as he looks at his hand.

Then he knew that his conjecture was correct, he truly did not have any Ki right now.

He subconsciously takes out a Ki stone from his space and began absorbing it.

After absorbing the energy in the Ki stone he heaves a sigh of relief upon seeing that he now has Ki flowing in his body again.

However, as he checks his dantian again, he was once again flabbergasted.

They are still empty… it was like the amount he absorbed is like a drop of a bucket trying to fill an empty ocean.

Xin Ja did not have time to think about any of this for now as his eyes landed on the ground below.

He noticed that France has finished collecting the dimensional crystals.

"I guess it's time to head back…" he said as he stands up.

But then he suddenly stops as he noticed a strange ripple in the air.

Using his absolute sense, Xin Ja was able to quickly determine that it was a slim-looking demon which is hiding in the shadows.

He did not hesitate to point the rifle at that demon and then shots.

Ptaff!!!

The sound seems to have startled the demon, but before it could react, its head suddenly tilted sideways as its body fell to the ground.

France Roye was startled as he looks at the thin demon lying dead on the ground.

"Damn… This is a shadow demon… I would have been in trouble…" France muttered as he looks around and checked his surroundings.

Xin Ja has already jumped down and then walked towards France.

"How was the harvest?" Xin Ja asked while walking toward the shadow demon.

He carefully checked its skin and was immediately piqued as he saw the greenish scale on the demon's body.

He decided to use the skin of this thing to create a suit.

The two walked back to the camp and they saw the figure of Eden leaning on a big tree.

"Sigh… France, you know that you have violated the law of the Union, right? As a guardian, you should not have left your post…" she suddenly scolded.

France scratched the back of his head in awkwardness.

"Sorry about that… I was just too curious about this guy…" he reasoned.

"Whatever… I think the two of you should know that this is serious, right?"

"Yes…" the two replied while lowering their heads.

"Then would you share two crystals with me?" Eden suddenly said.

The two were stunned and looks at her.

"Well, you expect me to shut up without gaining something?" she suddenly extended her palm.

France shook his head and then handed two crystals to her.

"Hmm… That's the right attitude… These crystals are still full… It seems that you guys are very efficient hunters…" she praised after checking the crystals.

…

Xin Ja did not sleep that night and created a gear using the skin of the shadow demon. He was able to synthesize its skin ability and recreate its shadow stealth function.

"I think I can copy this kind of function…" he muttered after experimenting on the skin.

It was already morning when Xin Ja walks out of the armored vehicle.

After the whole night of crafting new gear, he showed satisfaction in his eyes while looking at the morning sun.

The group is now going to the ruins once again to complete their final task.

They only have to hunt down a particular demon to be able to finish their collection task and then return to the city.

As Xin Ja prepares to go out with the team, he was approached by a man with an eye patch.

"You are Adam Summers?" he asked.

Xin Ja nodded his head and showed a questioning look at the man.

"I saw your weapon last night… The distance should not be that far, right?" he asked in a low voice.

"Maybe around 500 meters…"

"That is good enough… 10 million sumar… If you can build me one…" the man requested.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback.

He already knew how much that money amounts to in this world. Although he could sell his stuff from his inventory, to be able to gain that much in one transaction and without some complications at that is something he has never expected.

The way this guy seems secretive means that he should be someone who does not talk too much.

The guy is another D-rank who seems to be a hidden protector of the camp.

"Well, 10 million and a D-rank demon bone… for the bullets I also needed D-rank demon bones and their crystals… One crystal per magazine… I'm not sure how many bullets would it take to deplete a crystal... my rough estimate should be around a thousand." Xin Ja explained.

The guy thought for a while and nodded his head.

The guy gives Xin Ja a check from the Awakened Union bank. This means that this person has enough money in the bank to pay him 10 million.

One should know that only those that have 100 million in the Awakened Union bank could have such type of check.

,m "I will give you the rest tonight…" he added then turns to leave.

That day, Xin Ja and the group finished their task.

While returning, he curiously asked.

"What are you planning to do with Lance Grim?"

When he asked this question, Eden Vale turned silent. James Reeve and Marcus Gray on the side also did not say anything.

"*Sigh… I will tell you the truth. That guy is not someone we can trample with. Although he is being kept in check by the union so that he could not use the influence of his brother, we cannot also cause him some trouble…" Eden Vale explained.

"So you mean…"

"His brother is an A-rank awakened by the name of Oliver Grim." James Reeve butted in.

Xin Ja frowned as he felt curious about an A-rank person. One should know that an A-rank awakened is already a full-powered Shen… a powerful person even on the other side of the planet. Shens are able to topple kingdoms and could affect an empire.

So how could he not feel curious about how powerful A-ranks on this side of the planet are?

"It is your decision… But if he causes trouble with me, I'm not sure if I can tolerate it though…" Xin Ja said while shaking his head.

"I could understand how you feel, but I advise you not to act rashly…" Marcus Gray suggested.

The team went back to the camp that night after the long day of the hunt.
