Chapter 131: "I sensed a Law fragment."

[DUCK!!]

Lee instantly dodged the arrow that came from his right, as he curled and rolled forward with momentum, and came to a halt like spiderman!

The Map exposed the position of the ambushers on the nearby buildings. They were hiding behind the parapet walls on the terraces. Lee stood up for a brief moment and two arrows came from behind. Lee instantly twirled his body and avoided the arrows in fashion.

[There are a total of 16 people around you. 6 of them are archers, and the left are all close combat cultivators. Most importantly they are all Moon Water Sect disciples.]

Lee smirked at the report and lied on the floor of the roof. He took out his bow and drew the bowstring, and a bunch of sixteen arrows materialised in the bow. Lee simultaneously locked on all the 16 people and attributed the arrows with lightning and let go of the sizzling twigs.

*whish*

A faint gust of wind flew away and the arrows departed to the sky with immense initial velocity. Though the bow threw the arrows high up into the air, the homing nature made those arrows to lock in on their respective targets. The cultivators did not notice the arrows as they soared into the sky with extreme quickness. But the arrows precisely came down and made a non-lethal wound on their bodies while numbing them perfectly. The spasming bodies of the Moon Water Sect disciples were immediately collected by Lee.

[Nice. Even I had forgotten about the necessity of Essence.]

'How much can they give me per hour?'

[The disciples range from Soul Condensation realm to Immortal Master realm. After doing some calculations, those 16 are supposed to give about 5170 Essence.]

Lee jumped up from where lied down and glanced around. Confirming that nobody saw these sights, Lee activated Flight and fled like a flashing light. By the time he reached the inn, a notification welcomed him.

=====

'Flight' upgraded to E grade.

Progress: 0/30 hours.

=====

'About time.'

Lee descended to the alleyway next to the inn and walked out of it casually. He headed towards the door and pushed it, but it did not budge. Lee assumed the inn was closed, but wondered where Gauthama and others might be.

Peeking at the Map, he saw six green dots behind the inn. Lee then remembered the portion of land concealed by the fence, and walked to the other alleyway. As he followed the same procedure, the fence opened up and a different view was unveiled.

Standing there like a statue, Lee had to rub his eyes to make sure that he was not dreaming. The small wooden cabin was the only thing he saw there last time. But now he was not looking at a cabin in a small space, but a 55 metres long and 24 metres wide ground. Lee looked around and scanned the area multiple times, as he couldn't find such a vast area last time. D assured him that the place indeed is real and not a construct of the Tubian.

Mia and Tera were sparring at the centre of the grassy ground. Ruella was sitting cross-legged at distance from them, and her palms were facing the ground before her. Her face showed faint struggle and tension, and Gauthama was standing at a distance from the three, and was observing the sparring and the practice repeatedly. An was standing about 7 metres from where Lee stood, her back towards him. She was holding her sword in front of her torso upright, and her concentration reflected in her stable and firm posture.

Lee walked to her consciously trying not to make any noise. But the footsteps brushed the short one inch grass bristles and made a faint rustling noise. An heard this noise and and once made a 90 degree turn to her left and her sword stood perpendicular before her face with alertness. The blade rested on her left elbow as her arm supported the sword. Her intense glare widened up as she saw Lee.

"Oh, it was you."

She relaxed her posture and lowered her guard, while thrusting the long sword into the ground. Gauthama heard An's words and glanced over his shoulder to see him near her. He had a smile on his face as he turned his attention to the sparring duo. Ruella was starting to sweat with uncomfort, so he neared her and advised to take a break. She let out a gust of air from her mouth and leaned on her arms supported by the ground behind her. Her tired pair of eyes took a glimpse of Lee. She wanted to go and ask him about the Veil of Whiteness, but her fatigue from channeling the Mana made her weak. The duo was sparring without any knowledge of Lee's presence.

Lee and An were standing very close to each other and talking about something intimate, when Gauthama called him and her. They walked towards him as they brought their talk to a stop, for now. Mia saw Lee and his wife, but she was curious about the blush that was evident on her face. Guessing that it must be some 'private' matters, she averted her eyes to Gauthama, who called the sparing to a halt. Ruella was also gestured to stand up and come closer.

"We all spectated the tournament today. It should be a two day event, but due to the overpowered strength of Lee, it was concluded early.

Tomorrow morning before the sun rises over the horizon, we will go to the Ora coastal plains near the city. We will do some exercises there everyday until you are all qualified to fight Lee one-on-one. To physically prepare for tomorrow, we shall eat food early and go to bed without any delay."

Gauthama briefly paused and scanned the faces before him. The nod of appreciation welcomed his eyes. Tera was given a slight nod, and she took Mia, An and Ruella to the inn for rest. When the ladies left, Gauthama turned to Lee. A frown decorated his face and his smile had slightly faded as he asked-

"I sensed a Law fragment in you. Can you explain?"

The sky reflected its reddish orange hue to the ground and a faint breeze flew past Lee's face. A deadly silence overshadowed them. D sounded words of caution as he sensed the micro-expressions of the Tubian changing slightly.
