Strongest Offline Cultivation

“Hey newcomer, the time for rest is over. Get ready for the battle.” One of the men from the dragon race shouted at Fu Chen who was calmly sitting with his eyes closed.

Many of the spirits and others cultivate during rest time. It turned out they had a constant rule for battle.

They start their battles from the morning sunrise to noon. And, they rest for three hours and once again start battling till the nighttime. During the night, they don’t fight but sleep peacefully and nobody sneak attacks each other.

Because there was no use in using sneak attacks. They were already fighting till one of them would lose and it has been continued for years.

Fu Chen opened his eyes after hearing that voice. It seems like everyone was getting ready to face off against the monsters. Fu Chen was already warned to stay at the back.

And, he didn’t mind that. He was trying to get into less trouble as much as possible. If he can succeed in that. Then, what’s the problem with laying low?

The battle started and soon, it got intense.

Fu Chen didn’t understand why there was so much hatred against each other. After all, it wasn’t just the monster race who dethroned them. There were other races.

And, the main monsters that did have a lot of involvement in dethroning them are now living inside the Blue Star Kingdom.

At first, it wasn’t clear to him but soon as the day passed, he understood the reason.

Arrogance!

It was the pure arrogance of the three races. Monster Race had no choice but to fight back. These three races lost because of their lack of strength but since they were considered at the top of the world, how their pride let them co-exist together with their enemies.

But, of course, they couldn’t attack properly before, and later, they made some rules and started fighting. It was the Divine Star Kingdom who made the rules.

The Chaos Star Kingdom had no choice but to follow them in the battle. Of course, Fu Chen had no intention of involving with them.

He spent almost a week mingling with these people. At first, it was a bit hard since all of them had bigger cultivation than him and also had a bigger ego.

But, as he began to show his strength, he was eventually recognized. With his dragon bloodline, none of them suspected him.

Except for one. The person who suspected his identity was none other than a female spirit. It got quite hard to be a dragon in front of her. And, she always keeps an eye on him.

Fortunately, she didn’t have any proof. And, he didn’t plan to give her any. Within this week, he had already gathered enough information about the Death Pond.

There is only one way to touch this pond. Consume the fish from this pond and store the energy coming out of the fish to form a barrier around his skin. It would be like adding an extra layer of skin.

But, it is quite useful. Death Pond is filled with Death Energy that can come from the strange crystals underneath the pond.

If they get these crystals, they can cultivate the Law of Death. For Law Condensation Realm cultivators, it was a huge improvement. So, for the next week, he has planned to absorb as much energy as he can from those fish.

Fortunately, he is allowed to fish. Of course, fishing in the death pond was not a small task. He used the previous week to earn enough credits to buy the fishing rod made out of those fish’s bones.

Credits are the currency that these people use specifically the people from the Divine Star Kingdom. So, this week whenever he gets some free time, he goes fishing.

Fishing wasn’t an easy task. He had patiently waited for the fish to get hooked and even that wouldn’t work when the battle starts before fish anything. So, this week was quite a hassle for him.

But, he eventually managed to catch around twenty fish. He wasn’t sure if this was going to be enough but he decided to absorb the energy from these fish at night.

Because he wasn’t allowed to cook or eat during the night, he asked the commander for a leave. Naturally, seeing him work hard even during the night, he was allowed to go far.

But, his plan was quite different. He had already asked Chu Yan and Wu Kong about fishing. So, today, they had planned to meet up. If the amount of energy is stable, they can move on to the second stage which is to dive inside the Death Pond.

As for why he isn’t doing this alone? It’s quite simple. Origin Pond is quite different than the Death Pond. So, there must be some kind of problem at the bottom of the pond.

He might not be able to solve those problems alone especially if he gets injured, he would desperately need someone to take care of him. And, he doesn’t know who to trust more than them.

After they arrived several miles away from the battle area, they finally met each other.

“Man, I am so tired of the battle. How long will it take to finish our task?” Chu Yan sounded exhausted as he lay on the ground.

“Come on, the battles are fun. Did you know I managed to kill three Dragon Master despite having a lower realm. Hehe! My Fighting Intent is growing stronger each day.” Wu Kong jumped up cheerfully while boasting about his own strength.

“He is not kidding. If it wasn’t for the noon that came soon, he would’ve killed five dragon masters. The elders praised this guy a lot for awakening Fighting Intent. He has been boasting about that for a while now.” Chu Yan snorted and put his face on the sand.

“You should also congratulate him, you know. Anyway, congratulation. How about fish? How many did you catch?” Fu Chen congratulated him and nodded.

“Not much! I only caught around a hundred and he only caught fifty. Tch! All that fighting intent disturbed a lot of the fish or else, I would’ve caught two hundred.” Chu Yan spoke with a boring expression and took out the spatial ring.

Blink! Blink!

Fu Chen stared at him speechlessly. He took so long and only caught twenty but this guy caught one hundred and even blamed Wu Kong for disturbing his fishing.

He really didn’t know what to say. He bowed to Chu Yan and said.

“You are really amazing.”

Saying so, he took out twenty fish and showed them to him. Chu Yan looked at the fish and then looked at him.

“You are quite useless at this, aren’t you?”

Bang!

Fu Chen felt his dignity was blown away. He couldn’t help but get depressed but it didn’t end there,

“Twenty fish won’t even be enough to stay inside the Death Pond for an hour. The more the fish, the greater the energy. It would take at least fifty fish to stay inside the death pond for twelve hours.”

“Sorry!” Fu Chen didn’t know how to reply.

“Anyway, thankfully, I caught enough fish. But, are you sure we should go tonight or maybe wait till the next week and catch more fish?” Chu Yan suggested.

But, Fu Chen shook his head and said “We can’t. There is already a bug pestering me for a long time. If we continue to stay here, I am afraid my identity will be blown by her.”

“Bug? How dare you call me bug?”

Suddenly, a roar came from far away which shocked the team. They instantly turned around and saw four feet tall girl. She looked like a child but from human age, she was already more than a hundred years old.

And, she was also a Spirit Master.

Unlike humans, Dragon, Devil, and Spirits are divided into; Apprentice, Warrior, Master, Grandmaster, and Lord.

Seeing her, their expression changed entirely. Fu Chen clenched his fist and spoke.

“We can’t let her leave. Battle Formation Alpha!”

Chu Yan and Wu Kong immediately acted as they rushed to her sides. While crossing the desert, they found that if they worked together, they would much more effective against their enemies.

So, Chu Yan suggested creating battle formations where each individual has a different role in the battle. Battle Formation Alpha was the most ferocious formation because it was designed to take down its enemies as fast as it can.

“Humph! Just because you are some geniuses don’t think you can win against me.” The little girl clenched her and blazing flames appeared on her hands.

Whoosh!

“Eat my rod!”

Wu Kong roared as he slammed his rod against her but, suddenly, sand beneath her transformed into a giant umbrella and blocked the strike.

Zap!

But, the next second, Chu Yan appeared in front of her and opened his mouth.

Boom!

The giant stream of flames covered her as he quickly retreated. The sand slowly fell and extinguished the flames. When the dust got cleared, three of them saw the girl standing without a single scratch on her body and with a wave of water moving around her hand.

“Is that all?”
