Endless Road: Asura's Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 12 Eager to leave

Gu Ling was awakened by the slight shaking of the carriage. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around, looking a little confused.

"Where am I? I was clearly attacked by a black-spotted leopard in the forest... Wait, I remember it was already dead.……"Gu Ling's thoughts were in chaos, trying to recall what happened before he fainted.

"Ah, Gu Ling, you finally woke up."A voice interrupted his thoughts. Gu Ling turned around and found that there were three other people in the carriage: Hong Tian, ​​Hong Jia, Miko Hong Jia and Hong Yin.

"Uncle Hong Tian, ​​what happened? Why am I here?"Gu Ling asked

"We are on our way to the ancient clan family celebration."Hongtian Hongjia explained,"This celebration is held in your honor. At that time we saw you flying out of the forest, seriously injured. Fortunately, the miko destroyed the black panther before it could deal a fatal blow to you. Gu Ling tried to remember:"

Ah, I remembered it." I felt the surge of energy before losing consciousness, and then I killed the Black Panther with the light of my sword. Hong Tian and the Hong family asked:"

Gu Ling, what happened?" Why did you go into the forest alone to fight the black-spotted leopard?

Gu Ling replied:"I went to the forest to hunt coyotes." For some reason, the panther approached the road and started chasing me. I tried my best to get back on the road. Thank God you were there."

Gu Ling thought for a moment and decided to remain silent about the surging energy. He firmly believed that at the critical moment, that energy would protect him.

"We are all deeply relieved that you are safe and sound."Hongtian Hongjia took out a bottle of life spirit healing pills,"Thanks to me carrying this pill with me, otherwise you would have been in trouble."

Gu Ling felt that his physical condition had improved significantly, at least it was much stronger than when he fainted.

"Thank you Uncle Hong Tian."Gu Ling said

"You're welcome."Hongtian Hongjia changed the subject,"But I'm sure that this adventure was without your parents' permission. Otherwise, you will be accompanied by guards."

Facing this problem, Gu Ling could only answer with a wry smile. Hong Tian and the Hong family understood:"I will conceal this matter for you, but I won't do it again. Understand?"

"Understood, Uncle Hong Tian."Gu Ling replied. If you want to hide this experience from your mother, you will definitely save a lot of trouble.

The carriage continued to drive towards the gate of the Gu clan and finally arrived at its destination.

"The Hong family has arrived."The guards of the Hong family announced loudly. Several Gu clan guards came forward and led them into the festival hall.

On the way back, the witch asked Gu Ling many questions about his actions in the forest and how he acted. Survived the Black Panther's attack. Gu Ling briefly answered her question absentmindedly.

"That panther almost killed me, several times today. If the Hong family hadn't happened to show up just in time, I might have died. Even if the force I felt saved me, I was still half-dead at that moment." Gu Ling thought to himself

"The black panther that I struggled to resist, the one that I managed to scratch with all my strength, was easily killed by the miko's sword... I was so weak. too weak."He thought repeatedly about the sword light that easily killed the Black Panther.

Although Meiko was only 11 years old, her strength was far greater than Gu Ling at the time. Gu Ling didn't even know that the witch could actually perform such an attack, but this time The attack made him deeply realize the huge difference between those who refine their bodies and those who create mist.

On the way to the celebration hall, Gu Ling stopped for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said:"Uncle Hong Tian, ​​please allow me to temporarily Leave for a while. I'm going home to take a shower and change into a clean robe. This thing is really in disgrace."

"You are right, it does need to be sorted out. See you at the celebration. Don't be late again. Hong Tian replied before driving to the door.

Gu Ling walked for a few minutes and arrived at the door of his house. Before continuing, he secretly checked the situation at home and found that his parents were not there, so he hurried into the room to wash up. Take a shower and put on a clean robe

"Ah, that feels better. Gu Ling said while putting on the belt of his robe. After taking a look at himself in front of the mirror, Gu Ling strode out of the bedroom, walked down the main staircase, and then left through the front door of the mansion.

Gu Ling turned into the front door of the mansion. road, heading towards the celebration hall, and reached his destination in a few minutes. He stopped and stared at the majestic hall for a few seconds, then walked through the door and walked in

"Ah, Gu Ling, you are finally here."Gu Ye said loudly when he saw his son walking into the hall. Then he said:"Now that you are here, we can start the celebration."

Kade stood not far from Gu Ye, nodded and announced loudly:"Dear friends and family, today we are gathered here to celebrate Gu Ling's new abilities and rejoice for him to embark on the path of cultivation. Celebrate. Many people thought this day would never come, but I always believed that light would always shine through the darkness. Respect Gu Ling!"

"Respect Gu Ling!"Everyone in the hall cheered loudly, and then toasted and drank. Gu Ling scratched the back of his head slightly embarrassed, and then walked to the table where his parents were. The celebration lasted until late at night, and people drank and drank amid laughter. Enjoyed the delicious food and had a wonderful time. After the party members and special guests enjoyed the party for a while, they returned to their respective tribes late at night.

Gu Ling and his parents decided that it was time to end, so they returned to their mansion. After walking for a few minutes, they returned home and walked through the front door. Gu Ling said good night to his parents before going to bed. Then he fell on the bed, replaying the thrilling scenes of the day in his mind.

Gu Ling Ling lay quietly on the bed, lost in thought:"I must become stronger."

Early the next morning, after Gu Ling took a shower and changed clothes, he went out in a neat nightgown. With his newly acquired strength and passion, he spent time at the military training ground from sunrise to sunset. Every night, he took He returned home with scars all over his body, but his heart was full of satisfaction - because he had been doing his best to improve his strength.

After returning home every night, Gu Ling would meditate for several hours in a row, trying to feel and guide the energy in the air."Qi" enters the body. For most people, this is a long and difficult process, and it usually takes half a year or even more to complete the condensation of Qi Hai Dantian.

A few nights after the Black Panther incident, Gu Ling was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"I am nowhere near strong enough. My strength improves too slowly. Although I'm getting stronger all the time, by the time the Pocket Kingdom comes, I'm afraid I'll still be too weak to participate."

Although Gu Ling gradually became stronger through training and battles within the clan, he knew that he still had a long way to go before his Qihai Dantian was completely condensed. To become stronger, participate in the Pocket Kingdom's Fighting, he still needs to put in more effort

"As I fought the Iron Lizard and the Black Panther, I could feel my understanding and strength rapidly increasing. Perhaps it would be more effective to risk your life to practice."Gu Ling stared at the ceiling thoughtfully, thinking to himself

"Also, I never understood what that strange energy that came over me was. It comes to me every time I'm on the verge of death. While I can't say for sure if it's the source of the power, I'm definitely going to dig deeper."

Gu Ling thought over and over what happened, and gradually, a determined expression appeared on his face.

The next morning, after Gu Ling packed up his clothes, he strode out of the room and went to find his parents. He found them both They were all in the living room. Gu Ling paused for a moment, then walked in and said,"Mom, Dad, I have something to discuss with you."

His parents turned to look at him, noticing the serious look on his face

"I'm going to make some tea."Gu Yingying stood up from the sofa and walked to the kitchen.

Gu Ling walked to the sofa opposite her father and sat down. A few minutes later, Gu Yingying came back with hot tea. She poured a cup for everyone first. , and then sat down.

Gu Ling sat there quietly, thinking about how to speak

"Mom, Dad, I think I need to leave the family for a while to explore the world around me."Gu Ling said, staring intently at the fireplace in front of him, the flames jumping in it.

"What? What are you talking about, Gu Ling? His mother asked in surprise,"Why did you leave the tribe?""Gu Ye looked at Gu Ling expressionlessly and said nothing.
