After testing his spiritual qi control over and over again, another 12 hours had passed so he said towards the kowtowing Chen Hao, "It's been 24 hours, stand up."
Chen Hao, who was filled with fatigue, jolted awake energetically hearing Tian Ye's words, and hurriedly stood up with his trembling limbs.
When he stood up straight, due to standing up so suddenly, he lost his footing but immediately fought back his softened legs, and clasped his fist greeting Tian Ye with a bow, "D-Disciple C-Chen Hao, greets, Master Tian Ye."
Because his body was weak, his stomach was hungry, his body felt soft all over and even his tongue was trembling, his eyes were red from fatigue.
Tian Ye just smiled and said, reaching for a fasting pill from his spatial ring, "Open your mouth."
Chen Hao instinctively opened his mouth hearing Tian Ye's words so Tian Ye threw a fasting pill in his mouth that directly went down his throat.
After swallowing the fasting pill, he looked at Tian Ye in surprise, "I-I'm not hungry anymore?"
Tian Ye simply stood up and called out, ignoring Chen Hao's obvious question, "The waitress over there, by the entrance, come here."
The head waitress, who had a good sleep at night, was already back after going home for a night, after all, it's already morning, so she went over as Tian Ye called out to her.
As she bowed in front of Tian Ye, she asked, "You called, my lord?"
"Bring Chen Hao to Li Hua and tell her to teach her the cultivation technique I taught her."
"Yes, my lord."
Tian Ye turned his attention to Chen Hao and instructed, "Work hard, you should be able to reach the 1st Layer faster than your seniors considering your young age."
Chen Hao was a little surprised but after realizing Tian Ye's words, he felt inside in his heart and said energetically, forgetting the fatigue he had suffered from kneeling for a whole day, "Yes, Master!"
"Un, I'll be leaving first." Tian Ye nodded to him then jumped off the 3rd floor of the Moonlit Pavilion, and stepped on the air, one by one, heading towards the forest at high speed.
Chen Hao who was watching from the 3rd Floor, looked at Tian Ye's back who was basically flying in the air, in excitement with the thought, 'Can I do that too in the future?'
The head waitress on the side, interrupted Chen Hao's thoughts with the respectful words, "Young Master Chen, please follow me to Lady Li."
Chen Hao was surprised but nodded and said as he followed behind the head waitress, "Auntie Lin, you can call me Little Hao like you've previously called me, I don't mind."
The head waitress shook her head and replied with a smile, "Young Master Chen, because you're young, you don't understand the gravity of your current identity. If this city was an empire, you'd be a prince, meanwhile, I'm a mere servant. Even in private, I can't call you that, my apologies, Young Master Chen but I appreciate the sentiment."
Chen Hao just scratched his head, still not understanding what she's talking about but nodded. The head waitress was older so she must be right so he simply remained quiet and followed her to Li Hua's manor.
…
After spending some time thinking to himself, Tian Ye had figured out a way to gain advantage in a short term fight against a highly combat experienced cultivator.
After reaching deep into the forest, Tian Ye hurriedly tested out his thoughts.
Spreading out his arms, he created a field where his spiritual qi could reach within 5 meters in radius to himself.
After nodding to himself in satisfaction with how stable the field that he had created with spiritual qi was, he walked step by step, and with him as the center, the spiritual qi field also followed.
After walking several steps, seeing that the field was still stable, he began picking up the pace and running around in circles.
This time, there was a difference, the field trembled on each step he took as he ran.
'Looks like my spiritual qi control and density still can't keep up with the 5 meter spiritual qi field that I've created when I move at a higher speed, furthermore, in battle, I'd be moving at insane speed, and I have to keep this going if I want it to continue.' Tian Ye thought to himself.
As for why Tian Ye wanted to keep this field made out of spiritual qi active while fighting, it was because it's convenient and would give birth to an absolute advantage to himself on top of his fire spiritual qi that's unique within the Purple Cloud Continent.
He could freely switch his spiritual qi's elemental attribute from normal one's into extremely hot spiritual qi made out of the fire element.
Since he couldn't yet use it to its fullest potential and the qi consumption was enormous at about 5-10% in just 1 minute, he decided to explore first, what he can do with his current control.
As he raised his right hand, he thought, 'Let's see… This can be considered a self-created martial arts technique right? Let's call it… [Absolute Domain].'
5 condensed spiritual qi began to materialize a few centimeters above him and then he waved his hand downward, sending all the condensed spiritual qi he had materialized forward at an incredible speed.
At the point of impact, the condensed spiritual qi he sent flying exploded, creating gaps in the trees that it hit as if they were bitten by a beast with a huge mouth.
Although the trees remained standing after trembling from the explosion, it looked weird because of the gaps created from Tian Ye's attack.
'The Second Form of the Flowing River Sword Technique is really convenient in long range, because it's condensed, it can travel tens of meters away and still deal significant damage. Unlike the Crescent Moon's… something flying slash, I forgot what it's called but it's something along the lines of that. That technique is too fragile unlike the Second Form of my master's sword technique. No wonder the master was the 1st Elder, his sword technique alone was superior then coupled with his higher cultivation and combat experience, he's at a higher level compared to the other elders.'
Tian Ye wanted to test the [Absolute Domain] more on the surroundings but an unexpected target practice appeared, not just one, multiple target practice actually appeared.
A few meters away from himself, because he was focused on practicing, he didn't notice them. Growling of beasts began to resound throughout the forest.
On top of tree branches, at the roots of the trees, wolves began to surround him.
As he observed them with a slight grin on his face, there were 5 groups in total, the wolves in front were 5 white wolves, several times bigger than the black wolves they led. In his eyes, the white wolves were the only ones countable, as for the black wolves behind them, they were like a shadow, stretching out limitlessly.
Rubbing his chin, he thought in wonder, 'Is this the game-like event in Yellow Leaf City that Zhao Meng told me about? But… It looks like this time, the Yellow Leaf City would be exterminated if I wasn't here. The spiritual qi fluctuations of the white wolves are at a level higher than that of the Zhao clan's head.'
Without warning, two of the white wolves dashed forward towards him, and he simply watched them with an interested smile, and when they reached the 5 meters' [Absolute Domain], he muttered the words, "[Shield.]"
Two 1 meter shields, made out of red spiritual qi appeared mid-air intercepting the two white wolves who jumped at him.
The two white wolves whimpered in surprise and pain but before they could react, Tian Ye's words fell, "[Chain,] [Chain.]"
Two chains made out of spiritual qi appeared and wrapped around the necks of the two white wolves and pulled them down the ground.
As for why Tian Ye was saying the word form of his spiritual qi materialization, it creates an easier image for the mind making the materialization easier.
The three white wolves looked at Tian Ye warily, seeing two wolves of the same level chained on the ground. They circled around Tian Ye and when one of the three remaining wolves was positioned in Tian Ye's blind spot, in other words, his back, it hurriedly jumped to attack Tian Ye.
The two white wolves distracting Tian Ye's eyes also attacked, one step later than the white wolf who attacked from his back to follow up.
Tian Ye just raised his hands, and when the white wolf behind him entered his domain, he muttered the word, "[Chain!]"
A chian rose from the ground and wrapped around the white wolf's neck and pinned him to the ground forcefully.
Seeing this, the two white wolves in front, slowed down, but they still couldn't get rid of their momentum and entered Tian Ye's domain.
Since the preys had already jumped into the trap, of course, Tian Ye caught them, "[Chain!], [Chain!]"
The 5 white wolves were subdued in an instant, as they were pinned onto the ground, they stared at Tian Ye who was standing in the middle with hatred in their eyes as if they wanted to eat him alive.
As for the black wolves in the surrounding, they growled but fearfully backed away, step by step but didn't dare to move too far away as their 5 leaders were all in Tian Ye's grasp.
Tian Ye turned his attention to the white wolves pinned on the ground meaningfully and thought, 'Should I subdue these wolves and give them to my disciples? Right now I have Zhao Meng, Li Hua, and Chen Hao? So 3 in total, as for the other two? Let's kill it to establish dominance?'
