Holy Beast Saintess

29 The real training begins!

As she had been born with spiritual perception her mental abilities allowed her to detect anything within a short distance and investigate others strength so long as they aren't a whole realm above her.

Spiritual perception is achieved a little before the immortal soul is formed when breaking through the immortal rank in cultivation.

As immortals grow stronger their range of detection and their soul strength grows too, after her dying immortal soul and the deers souls fused they gained a small portion of spiritual perception as a result.

Although it cannot be used to attack an enemy it can still be helpful for detecting threats and is also helpful in various professions too.

After being mentally exhausted, she felt a little weak so began to cultivate until the fatigue went away.

"Mm.." Korah woke up and stretched his body. "I finished the pill, that stuff was painful but I got through it."

"Good job, it is something that you will have to get used to. The road to cultivation is filled with many hardships we may have to face in the future."

"I will work hard!" Korah however remained firm on his goals after knowing he would have to suffer bitter times in the future.

"A strong mentality and open mind are needed to progress to higher realms, those who can endure hardships often make remarkable cultivators. Use your own eyes to see the world around you, as you learn more you will find that things aren't always so simple as on the surface." Shadow looked up to the sky and sighed. "Come, we will take a trip from the mountain. You should be closer to a break through now so it would be best you get some actual battle experience."

"I thought that I have gained some battle experience?" Korah looked at her in confusion.

"No, that was just sparring.. What I mean is fighting to kill. This time we will not be restraining our strength and attacking vital spots during combat. Oh yeah, you will have to deal with the enemies killing intent." Shadows body took up a battle stance as she looked down at the little rabbit.

Her eyes turned vicious as she stared at him ferociously, a fearsome murderous pressure enveloped Korah's body which could only make him shudder in fright.

He felt as though an asura of death had appeared before him and was powerless to do a thing, all he could do was wait for deaths embrace.

"After experiencing killing many times, you will develop a killing intent which you use to pressure others mentally. However you also need to learn how to stand up against others killing intent, faltering when met with someone who wishes to kill you, you have already lost the fight mentally before the actual real battle begins." She took back her killing intent and looked completely tranquil as she spoke. "The killing intent I released should be more than enough for you to endure but I doubt you will meet anything as scary out there. So just remember that feeling of pressure and the next time you are faced with something similar don't falter in the face of it. Keep a cool mind, make smart decisions and kill those who wish to kill you!"

"I will try hard.." The little rabbit was still very frightened by his friends previous appearance but seeing her back to normal and more approachable he sighed with relief.

"Alright, then let's go!" Shadow began to make her way down the mountain with the little rabbit on her back. "You sure are lazy. Humph!"

"Hey, it's comfortable up here!" The little rabbit cried out.

"Fine but you have to use your time to cultivate diligently! Otherwise it will be a waste of effort to carry you." Shadow snorted as she replied.

Although she grew used to her friends habits she still couldn't help but frown, since he had her carry him most of the time the least he could do was put his effort into cultivating during that time so no more sleeping on her back.

"Okay.. Can't I even have a little nap?" The little rabbit was disheartened as his ears flopped downwards.

"No! From now on use every opportunity to cultivate and train, of course you can sleep the minimum hours during the night but spend the rest in cultivation. Once you break through a higher realm you won't even need sleep or food anymore." She continued to order him.

"Really?" The little rabbits eyes were full of anticipation.

Shadow nodded her head as she smiled. "Yes, so just work hard so you don't fall behind me in cultivation. I have already caught up so in the future you may need to work hard if you wish to be of help to me."
