85 A serious beating
standing close to the entrance of the temple building, Wang was puzzled at the sight.
He had obtained numerous techniques without a place to practice ot anyone to fight him.
Looking at his attribute panel, he sighed.

After observing through the panel, he could numerous techniques that were yet to be cultivated. And thus didn’t bother with them yet. Since he had yet to cultivate them some had just been accumulated on the panel.
“I should be able to practice the numerous techniques after checking out this place. My focus shall be on them, perhaps I can grasp some other true meanings in that way.”
He found that direction more promising, especially when he thought of the numerous techniques he had on him.
He was already sure the place in the library had a collection that seemed to come from outside the world.
At the same time, he still had a desire to visit the second floor and check out the techniques there but remembering that person in the photo he couldn’t help but hesitate.
“I should visit when my limit has been reached and my breakthrough close, then the benefits could probably be maximized like that”
Wang had his sights on issues but it also depended on the level of strength he could reach in the end.
He also seemed somehow disappointed as he gazed upon the temple.
But in the end, he had to enter the place to be able to understand why it existed under the water.
He assumed this place was of some big use the previous time he felt some threat and retreated. But now things seemed different and his plans to hone his techniques and even practice new ones were getting farther away from him.
.
However, out of curiosity, he still wanted to push open the door and see what was inside. If some other secret was involved perhaps he could gain something from it.
He thus moved closer to the huge doors and before pushing them open, he could see the door open automatically.
” Ooh, it opened on its own?” as he was puzzled, he failed to see any unique engravings on the door.
With that momentum, he walked right in, before he heard a huge boom in the room. Turning. his head around he saw the gate at his back close on him.
It was darkness all around and Wang couldn’t see in this place, something he found odd.
A martial artist could still see even in the dark environment but this place was becoming more and more mysterious.
That was peculiar considering at his level, he could still see eve dark too but he seemed to be under numerous obstructions.
Moreover, his perception had been restricted to ten meters around him.
This kind of method couldn’t be done by just anyone and even as he moved forward he felt his perception striking even further.
“What the hell! I soon might be no different from a mortal.” he inwardly becomes alarmed already.
Without having any ideas of what lay ahead and moving on carelessly, it was no different from courting death.
The moment he entered this place he was confident in his strength so he did not consider such a situation occurring.
Moreover, it was very creepy in the dark, as though something was peeping at him, but he couldn’t see it.
Even when he was pondering over not moving forward, his uneasiness grew intense.
“It seems that going back or standing in the same position is also an option if I want to die even faster. Damn, me and my huge mouth.” he had just complained about there being no actual adventure in this region of the sea.
Now he had obtained one, he felt very sad. This was a huge mountain being put on his back after he bragged about his ability to live a hundred killing rams of stone.
Thinking up to this point, he becomes very wary of his surroundings.
At the same time, the perception he had of the outside world completely vanished.
He has lost all the abilities to detect danger, perhaps only his instincts could play some role.
After other several meters, he felt the world around him change, and he was standing in another location.
The darkness had disappeared but he was now covered in sweat. Looking further ahead, a huge force could be felt coming toward him.
He used all methods immediately but discovered he couldn’t go back, the area seemed to have some enchantment covering him and he could only go forward to meet the attack head-on.
Soon he sensed it, the aura was not even stronger than his, so he developed some confidence and met it head-on.
But the moment they intersected, he was slapped flying and even blood could be seen spewing out of his mouth.
By the time he had reacted, he was already on the ground and some craking sounds coming from his body were an indication he was seriously injured.
“So fast! so powerful!” he was alarmed. A faster opponent might mostly rely on their speed to suppress others but things get very bad if they also are very strong in offensive means.
From the situation just now, the attack that reached him emanated from someone on the same level as Wang in the realm.
But the attacks were not on the same level at all.
His strong body allowed him to survive that attack with only bones being broken, however, someone else might not be that lucky.
Struggling up to stand, Wang wanted to see if he could capture a trip of the attacker but lacked the means to do so.
It finally dawned on him that he had been very dependent on consciousness despite being more inclined toward body development.
“My hands!..” he could feel even his hands were ng from the confrontation earlier.
His focus however had been on trying to find the figure, but now seeing his hands he was shocked.
The first technique he grasped has been elevated at high a level and despite not using the technique, his fist carries heavy might.
But now focusing on it, he saw that it had some cracks forming with the skin already missing.
His body tensed up as he remembered all his experiences only to discover he had never been in such a hopeless situation.
Even with the technique he could,d hardly do any damage since the enemy can’t be located.
After retaining his footing he moved ahead one step and an attack arrived after him seeing this his eyes narrowed.
When he was about to attack again, he noticed something important, the attacks only landed if he moved inwards and farther from the gate.
“When I backed up, the attack stopped advancing but this time, that attack was stronger than before.” he become enlightened.
But his face did not show any joy.
That move was too terrifying.
“To think that someone at the great grandmaster realm can be this strong? My current strength is too weak and might not be able to fight back at all.”
All this time he had some confidence but now, he knew it, there are always people above people and heaven above heaven.
Even without getting hit, the attack still managed to make my internal organs shift. No this is no longer good, the barrier is shrinking.
“I can’t hide at all, the mechanism in this place seems to also have a way against those that want to escape.” Wang could see the development of events exceeded him.
Finally, he only grit his teeth and move towards the attack a his fastest speed.
With his fist clenched he utilized a fist technique infused with the destruction true meaning.
The power was elected to another level bit it barely allowed him to survive..
Though he did no end in a terrible state after comfonting the attack several times, he had a feeling that his arm would not be able to handle it. If he wanted to survive he had to think of other ways quickly.
As ideas kept running in his mind he manages to see a huge area in his field of vision and nine huge tails were swinging slightly.
In the beginning he thought they were Illusioja before he saw a huge body entirely covered with some runes.
The runes were circulating on the body surface. Binding it, were black chains made from even more complicated symbols.
He managed to see that the attacks he was facing continuously were not some person attacking him.
It seemed to like someone had taken some. means to transfer the waves of air released during his breathing out, the force was so strong but some formations seemed to lessen the strength of those attacks.
“What the hell! is this just the breathing rhythms than in doomed once it happens to focus on my direction?” Currently, he was barely holding on with the use of the Star refinement technique and thunder body art.
The two were having great pressure and even though he still failed to convert them into a single entity, he was able to slowly improve his strength.
In his last moments, he saw a huge energy torrent that resembled a fox tail heading his way and he couldn’t even move.
After regaining clarity he was not in the temple at all.
.....
Lying on the outside temple steps, Wang was not in a rush to check out the temple again.
That feeling of losing badly did not feel any good. Moreover, he couldn’t fight back, and as intelligent as he was he could see this was another opportunity.
Knowing he couldn’t miss it yet, he sat cross-legged on the stairs and
Because of the last attack, his energy consumption had been exaggerated and now he was completely emptied.
He decided to recover before taking his time to improve the infinite taiji diagram.
the technique was his next goal, seeing it still resulted in the body generating five elements of energy each being used to develop a diagram in the body.
His Star Refinement art was already unique and with another one, the child ends up accumulating numerous energies that contradict each other, the effect of refinement then would reach another height.
At that time even his bones and the meridians would be difficult to break under attacks from the same realm.
Unlike now, he had been beaten so badly that he would require some time to completely get back on his feet.
Looking carefully at his body, he saw black energy that he had previously overlooked slowly moving into his injured arms trying to enter his blood.
