Zhou Yi sat on his horse and opened the status panel.
Name: Zhou Yi Race: Human (10%) Vitality: 9 Spirit: 1.2 Cultivation Method: Tongming Record (Mastered), Primordial Pile (Mastered) Technique: Body Refinement, Saber Technique, Footwork, Other Divine Ability: Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill+ (Uninitiated) Yin Energy: 1299 Strange Qi: Qi (25)
Looking at the newly added Divine Ability section on the panel, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel his thoughts stirring. He had only heard his master describe the power of Divine Abilities before, but he never expected to obtain one so quickly.
Of course, he couldn't compare to the great figure his master had described. After all, even the best Divine Ability required a certain realm to support it. He was currently only in the Vitality Realm, and he probably couldn't even unleash a thousandth of its power.
However, Zhou Yi believed that one day he would reach, or even surpass, the realm and strength of the great figure his master had described.
With that thought, Zhou Yi decided to at least get initiated into this Divine Ability first. He concentrated his thoughts and clicked on the '+' sign next to Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill.
Instantly, the Yin Energy on the panel dropped by a hundred. But at the same time, a surge of power erupted from his Dantian, which stored his Vitality. It soon transformed into Vital Energy and merged into his Dantian.
Zhou Yi looked at the panel. Wow, just getting initiated had increased his Vitality by ten points. The sense of fullness and strength that spread through his body was intoxicating. Seeing that the '+' sign next to Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill was still there, Zhou Yi clicked it again.
This time, the consumption of Yin Energy exceeded Zhou Yi's imagination. The Yin Energy on the panel plummeted rapidly, quickly stopping at ninety-nine. The moment the Yin Energy stopped depleting, that strange power surged from his Dantian again, then merged into his Vitality, and a sense of strength once again spread through his body.
Zhou Yi shifted his gaze to the panel.
Name: Zhou Yi Race: Human (10%) Vitality: 39 Spirit: 10 Cultivation Method: Tongming Record (Mastered), Primordial Pile (Mastered) Technique: Body Refinement, Saber Technique, Footwork, Other Divine Ability: Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill (First Layer) Yin Energy: 99 Strange Qi: Qi (25)
Seeing his Vitality increase by twenty points at once, Zhou Yi's lips curved into a smile. He then prepared to test the power of the Divine Ability. He immediately mobilized his entire Vitality and activated the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill. As the Divine Ability reached its peak, the phantoms of a dragon and an elephant instantly appeared behind Zhou Yi.
However, after less than ten seconds, Zhou Yi's body felt a wave of weakness. He quickly dispelled the cultivation technique.
"Looks like I can only use this as a trump card from now on," Zhou Yi thought to himself.
Just as Zhou Yi was contemplating, the horse beneath him stopped and began to whinny, apparently startled by the aura Zhou Yi had unleashed while using his Divine Ability. Zhou Yi had no choice but to dismount and calm the horse. After a while, the horse finally calmed down, but its legs were still trembling.
With no other option, Zhou Yi had to lead the horse on foot along the official road. Half an hour later, the horse's legs finally stopped trembling. Only then did Zhou Yi mount the horse and gallop along the road.
Finally, as night began to fall, an inn appeared before Zhou Yi's eyes. He was likely nearing Luoshi City. This inn was doing much better business, with many merchant caravans coming and going. The inn was also much larger than the one yesterday, and several guards in uniform stood at the entrance, maintaining order.
Zhou Yi dismounted and led the horse towards the inn. Soon, a young attendant walked up to greet Zhou Yi.
After taking the reins from Zhou Yi, the attendant began to chatter enthusiastically about the inn's services. Finally, he asked Zhou Yi, "Guest, would you prefer a Heaven, Earth, or Human room?"
"Heaven," Zhou Yi always believed in treating himself well when traveling.
Upon hearing that Zhou Yi wanted a Heaven-class room, the attendant's face became even more enthusiastic, and he ushered Zhou Yi into the inn.
After leading Zhou Yi's horse to the stables, the attendant led Zhou Yi to a Heaven-class room. Zhou Yi looked around; the environment was indeed much better than where he had stayed the previous day.
"Guest, the rules for staying at the inn..."
"I know, no making noise at night, right?"
Hearing that Zhou Yi understood, the attendant said no more and turned to leave. But Zhou Yi called out to him.
"Bring me a bucket of hot water." With that, Zhou Yi tossed five taels of silver to the attendant. The attendant's face lit up with joy as he took the silver and asked, "Does the guest require any food or drinks?"
"No, just a bucket of hot water is fine," Zhou Yi said, shaking his head.
Seeing this, the attendant didn't say much more and turned to go prepare the hot water for Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi looked at the spacious room. Although the hundred taels of silver for accommodation made his heart ache a little, he felt at ease looking at the current environment. Similar to the inn yesterday, there was a sign in the room reminding guests to remain silent at night.
Soon, the attendant brought the hot water Zhou Yi had requested. He poured it into the bathtub, and Zhou Yi took a satisfying hot bath, the fatigue from nearly two days of travel washed away by the hot water.
After drying himself, Zhou Yi set up the Three Talents Formation in the room and then lay down on the bed, falling asleep early.
He slept until dawn. Zhou Yi had the attendant bring out his horse, and he continued on his journey. Unfortunately, it began to snow heavily.
After riding on the official road for only half an hour, both man and horse were covered in snowflakes. Seeing this, Zhou Yi covered his body with Vital Energy, and the snow piled on him and the horse instantly melted, flowing onto the ground as water.
Zhou Yi didn't fear the cold, but his horse's stamina was clearly decreasing. Zhou Yi had no choice but to ride for a while and then lead the horse for a while.
This time, there were no weird occurrences on the road, and they arrived at the post station before sunset. This post station was noticeably larger, but the main hall was still packed with people, indicating it was full.
After calling over a servant, Zhou Yi handed him the reins and found a good empty seat in the hall. Just as he sat down, three burly men entered through the doorway. The leader, after scanning the hall, fixed his gaze on Zhou Yi.
The three men walked directly to Zhou Yi's side. The leader spoke to Zhou Yi, "Kid, be smart and give up your seat."
These words drew the attention of everyone in the hall, who wanted to see how Zhou Yi would handle these three men.
Seeing Zhou Yi make no move, the two men behind the leader became impatient and shouted at Zhou Yi, "My boss is a Vitality Realm martial artist, hurry up and give up your seat."
When their words had no effect, the two subordinates saw that Zhou Yi was still standing there calmly. They rolled up their sleeves, ready to teach Zhou Yi a lesson.
Seeing the two preparing to attack, the other people in the hall began to persuade Zhou Yi.
"Young man, just give them your seat!" said an old man.
"Yeah, just give it up, you won't lose anything."
"Why don't you tell them to find another seat?" Zhou Yi calmly replied to those trying to persuade him.
Seeing Zhou Yi's attitude, everyone fell silent, silently preparing to watch Zhou Yi make a fool of himself.
The two men behind the leader saw Zhou Yi's attitude and decided to act directly. They had clearly divided their roles: one prepared to grab and restrain him, while the other swung his fist directly at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi saw at a glance that they were only at the Strength Channeling Realm. He didn't even bother to activate his Vital Energy. Using only his physical strength, he threw a punch at each of them. They were sent flying backward, landing on the ground.
The boss, seeing his subordinates so easily defeated, became wary. He activated his Vital Energy and attacked Zhou Yi.
As the saying goes, one uses their full strength even when hunting a rabbit. Zhou Yi didn't want to capsize in a ditch. He also activated his Vital Energy and attacked to the side. With one punch, the man beside him fell to the ground.
Zhou Yi shook his head, stood up, and looked down at the burly man, saying, "Too weak. Is this the confidence you have for snatching seats?"
The burly man had already suffered internal injuries from Zhou Yi's punch and was unable to move on the ground. Hearing Zhou Yi's words, his anger surged, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.
"They're both Vitality Realm, how is this kid so strong?"
This was the burly man's last thought before he fainted.
