Transmigration: Children of The Plane

Space Element Prowess

In the forest outside of Snowy Wind City, Xue Bai stood face to face with a wolf that stood at about 1 meter tall. The wolf had grey fur but had blood stains permanently dyed into it, giving it a bloodthirsty aura.

But currently, its eyes were full of fear, and it was shivering as if it was facing a god. This was somewhat true, as Big Wang was unleashing the full aura of his Peak Law Engraving Realm cultivation on it.

This was the third beast that Xue Bai would fight against. But since its cultivation was in the middle of the Blood Exchange Realm, Big Wang suppressed it by unleashing his aura on it, thereby lowering its combat power.

"Young Master, its combat power should be lowered by at least half. You can go ahead and fight it safely!" Big Wang yelled out.

After swearing the Dao oath, Xue Bai allowed them to call him Young Master like Xiao'er. This is because they would be bounded to him for the foreseeable future, so Xue Bai thought it would be appropriate.

"Alright, but don't push it into a corner! Make it think it has some hope so it'll fight me with its all and not give up." Xue Bai replied.

Seeing Big Wang nod, Xue Bai readied Pale Blue and charged at the wolf.

The wolf seeing that the only way of escape was through the small child in front of it, also jumped at Xue Bai and wanted to bite his head off.

Xue Bai saw through this, imbued his weapon with his spatial element, and swung the sword at the wolf's neck, seemingly wanting to go blow for blow.

The wolf also saw this and, confident in its fur, ignored the sword and continued on with his attack.

However, something incredible happened as soon as the sword made contact with the wolf's neck.

Pale Blue, though swung with little to no power, sliced cleanly through the wolf's neck, severing his head.

The wolf, still thinking it had won the battle, kept a smirk on its face even in death.

"Young Master, your space element is terrifying as always." Little Wang complimented.

"Indeed, if your opponent weren't prepared and didn't defend themselves fully, they wouldn't even know how they died." Big Wang seconded.

Every element that a Martial Vein had created a different phenomenon when it was imbued into a weapon. The fire element would make it ignite, and the poison element would apply a layer of poison to it, and so on.

And from the three demonic beasts that Xue Bai had fought against, he realized that his Space element made his sword function as a separator. Whatever his sword slashed when imbued with his element would be cut through if it wasn't stronger than him.

The wolf had assumed that Xue Bai's weak swing would only stab his fur and not mortally wound it. So it decided to go blow for blow and rip Xue Bai's jugular while he took a stab to the neck.

But sadly, the wolf didn't expect Xue Bai to sever its neck before it even reached him cleanly.

Sheathing Pale Blue, Xue Bai went over to the wolf and dismantled it for valuable parts. He would move away from home eventually, and without any money, hunting demonic beasts would serve as his primary income. So practicing on lower-level beasts that weren't worth much would help him in the longer run.

Since the wolf's fur was already beaten up even before Xue Bai fought it, he decided not to skin it as it wouldn't even sell. So he only took the claws and the teeth.

"Alright, Big Wang, find another one, preferably one stronger than this. The last two didn't even fight back and were sliced in two instantly." Xue Bai ordered.

Big Wang smiled wryly at that.

'It's because your element is too strong against these mindless beasts. They don't even bother to protect themselves and just charge to their deaths.'

But Big Wang didn't say his thoughts and merely spread out his Spiritual Sense to search out stronger beasts.

As a peak Law Engraving Cultivator, Big Wang's Spiritual Sense could extend out for a few miles, but the more it stretched out, the less detailed the information.

Thankfully as they were in a forest known for its demonic beast population, he didn't have to look far as he spotted a leopard only a few hundred meters away.

"Young Master, I found a leopard in the late stage of the Blood Exchange Realm. Is that enough?" Big Wang asked.

Thinking for a moment, Xue Bai nodded. Though it was almost an entire Realm higher than him, when it would be suppressed by Big Wang, it should even out the strength gap.

"Little Wang, go bring it over here." Xue bai ordered.

Accepting the order, Little Wang jumped off in search of the beast, which didn't take long as he returned after only 3 minutes carrying a blue-colored leopard above his shoulders.

"Young Master, I brought the beast." Little said as he tossed it onto the ground roughly.

The beasts would die sooner or later, so his treating it harshly didn't matter much.

The blue leopard was having a horrible time, though. It was enjoying its day when suddenly, it felt a god-like pressure immobilize it. Then after it had unwillingly accepted its fate, a human came out of nowhere, grabbed it, and ran off with it.

Then after reaching its destination, it was rudely thrown onto the ground. Getting up to assess its situation, it ended up staring face-to-face with a human child.

"Big Wang, don't suppress it at first. I want to see how well I fare against it." Xue Bai ordered.

"Young Master, that isn't a very good idea. If you come home missing even a hair, the Duke and Duchess will skin us alive." Big Wang said cautiously.

"You are in the Law Engraving Realm. A fight on this level is even slower than children fighting in your eyes. Just be prepared to step in at any moment." Xue Bai said as he rolled his eyes.

Smacking his head in realization, Big Wang stepped off to the side and released his Spiritual Sense from the leopard, letting it move freely.

Able to move freely, the leopard finally sized up Xue Bai standing in front of it.

It could detect some Spiritual Qi from Xue Bai, but it was minuscule compared to its own. And the difference in physique was huge. The leopard was almost the same height as the previous wolf, yet, a whole foot longer.

Deciding Xue Bai to be easy prey, it jumped at Xue Bai using its thick thigh muscles.

Almost instantly, it arrived in front of Xue Bai, swiping its claw at his face.

Xue Bai had wanted to sever its head off like the previous wolf. However, the leopard didn't seem to want to get close to him. So instead, Xue Bai ducked until the claw passed over him, then attacked by stabbing Pale Blue upwards as if wishing to skewer the leopard on top of his sword.

However, the leopard was quick to respond and merely twisted its body irregularly, dodging the attack altogether.

"Tsk, this thing is too fast." Xue Bai mumbled.

"Young Master, do you want me to suppress it yet?" Big Wang shouted out.

"Not yet. Only make a move if you think I'm losing the fight. Until then, stay out of it." Xue Bai ordered.

After saying so, Xue Bai pounced onto the leopard, wanting to dictate the rhythm of the fight. However, the leopard was too fast for Xue Bai.

It dodged all of his attacks with ease and would take a sword attack head-on, leaving him without the chance to use his trump card.

But in good news, Xue Bai gained valuable experience in this fight. Unlike his previous three fights, this one lasted longer than 5 minutes giving him the much-needed time to adapt and grow that his other fights didn't give him.

However, the leopard was still too strong, and Xue Bai had to ask Big Wang to suppress the leopard making the fight easier. And after some careful testing with it, Xue Bai finally got a grasp on how strong he was.

Currently, at the 5th stage of the Vein Transformation Realm, he was about as strong as someone in the first or second stage of the Blood Exchange Realm. But this was only because of his sword skills and adaptability talent.

Xue Bai fought the leopard for another 10 minutes before it gave up and lay on the ground accepting its fate.

Not wanting to tease it, Xue Bai infused Pale Blue with the space element and threw it at the leopard, instantly piercing its skull.

Though the leopard had seemingly surrendered, Xue Bai would never trust that and so he confirmed the kill before even getting near it.

After dismantling it for its skin, claws, and teeth, Xue Bai placed them all in his spatial ring before announcing his next move.

"Alright, we've been out here for almost a day. We are going to the Secret Realm now. I need as much time as possible to set up the trap." Xue Bai spoke to the twins.

"We'll be right behind you, Young Master!'
