Awakening of the Ancient: Rise of the Fallen 150 Chapter 147: Special Skill

She told Xu Ming about all the skills that she has learned.

"Those are some good skills. I've never heard about skills like that," Xu Ming muttered as he heard about her skills.

"Of Course you haven't heard about it. These are the special skills of our spirit fairy race. I don't think anyone else could make skills like these. Not someone from the mortal world at least.

"Alright. I think I understand how I can use your help. Let me rest for a while before we start hunting," Xu Ming muttered.

After an hour of resting, his Origin Energy reserves were full now.

He got down from the branch and continued on his search.

His Divine Sense was turning out to be pretty useful in finding the targets.

Xu Ming continued to look throughout his surroundings. He found another Peak Gold Core Realm beast. It was a single beast this time.

It was called the Dark Horned Tiger. Its size was much smaller than the Lightning Leopard.

Although it was called a Dark Horned Tiger, it was half the size of the tigers from the earth. It had a 30-centimeter long dark horn on its head that was known as it's lifeline. 

There were two ways to kill a Dark Horned Tiger. One was by killing him the normal way using brute strength, and the second option was to hit it's Dark Horn.

The Dark Horned Tiger died whenever someone touched their Horn. It was a strange beast, and no one knew why their Horn was related to their lives.

Some said that their Horn was linked to their heart and contained a strange kind of energy. 

Once a person touched their horn, that energy was contaminated, which in turn ended up killing them.

The Dark Horned Tiger was also a long-range attacker as it didn't prefer coming in close contact with the opponent due to its vulnerability twisted to its Horn.

The Dark Horned Tiger opened its mouth and shot out something that seemed like a ball of dark light.

It didn't stop at once and kept attacking Xu Ming with similar attacks.

Xu Ming didn't bother dodging the attack; instead, he stood in his position. 

He got into a sword stance and got in a position to attack

The ball of light managed to reach near Xu Ming, but it didn't hit him.

It seemed as if Xu Ming was about to be hit by the light, but a barrier appeared before him that stopped the attacks.

"2nd Strike of Heaven!"

Xu Ming slashed with his sword.

The barrier disappeared right before his attack.

A compelling arc of light escaped from his sword and flew towards the Dark Horned Tiger.

The Dark Horned Tiger hadn't expected that the reversal would happen for fast. He wasn't even prepared to dodge.

The attack landed on the neck of the Dark Horned Tiger.

Its neck had started bleeding, and it fell down to the ground, but Xu Ming utilized the opportunity to get to the Dark Horned Tiger.

He trusted his sword into the Dark Horned Tiger's neck, killing him in an instant.

Xu Ming put the body in his storage ring.

"How was my barrier? It was cool, wasn't it?" Valeria asked as a grin formed on her face.

"It was good. I was somewhat doubtful about your ability, but the barrier was definitely not bad," Xu Ming told her.

"I told you that there was no need to doubt me. All my skills are most awesome," Valeria said, proudly.

They continued walking further in search of more beasts.

Xu Ming found another beast after only 10 minutes. It was another Lightning Leopard, but it was killed as well. Xu Ming was getting more efficient in killing the beasts with time.

He didn't use his God-Level Skills to kill the Lightning Leopard this time. He only used his lower-level skills as he didn't think that he would ever spend so much Origin Energy just to kill a single Lightning Leopard. His attack, combined with Valeria's defense, made them a strong team.

They kept killing beasts as they found them.

Soon, the day finished, and it was night.

It was only the first day, and still, Xu Ming had killed 13 Peak Gold Realm Beasts. If it kept going like this, he would finish the Trial in less than four days instead of the seven that was assigned to him.

He had expected that the Trial would be tough, but it was turning out to be much easier for him. He gave its credit to the Elders, underestimating his real strength. He knew that they judged his strength based on his cultivation Realm and the strength he showed to get to the 1st Rank in the Inner Ranking battles, but they didn't know that he hadn't used all his strength in those battles.

His real strength was far superior to an average guy that had the same cultivation as him.

The Beasts of this world and the cultivators they all used Qi to achieve their cultivation realm, but he, on the other hand, had used his much superior Origin Energy to cultivate.

The Origin Energy was said to be the Energy of the Immortals, whereas the Qi energy was supposed to be the Energy of the Mortals. Although there were situations where Qi was comparable to Origin Energy, he didn't know about it as no one that cultivated using Qi had managed to reach that level.

There was only one person throughout history that reached the true peak, just by using his Qi energy. He didn't have any special physique or anything, but still, he was the person that the world remembered from the legends.

It was said that the person was the same person that had destroyed the 2 God Beast Clans. The person reached such a high level only using Qi. The White Tiger Clan and the Azure Dragon Clan suffered the wrath and were almost completely destroyed.

Xu Ming didn't know about any of this, and he still thought that there was no way that Qi Energy could ever reach the level of the Origin Energy.

He slept during the night on the top of the branch. He had told Valeria to keep an eye on the surroundings while he slept.

Xu Ming slept during the night and woke up as the first ray of the sunlight fell on his face.

He got down from the tree branch.

"You can go to sleep now," he told Valeria, who had stayed up all night.
