Chapter 475 - It’s Sliding Off

The blizzard worsened. It was snowing more than before.

Compared to the salt flats, the blizzard was not as bad at the village. The warriors who had lived through the storm at the salt mines were a lot calmer.

Shao Xuan rested for several days. When he was completely healed, he walked out of his house in the snow to his designated training grounds.

No one lived here and the soil was not suitable for agriculture. It was just an empty piece of land where children hung around sometimes. Previously, it was for the younger once to practice archery and chopping. In winter, even the advanced totemic warriors didn’t want to get out of their houses, let alone the kids. Shao Xuan was alone in this vast piece of land.

Since no one came here, the tribesmen did not clear the snow in this area to conserve labour. The layer of snow here was taller than Shao Xuan and growing.

Shao Xuan followed the path that had been cleared until the end. He saw the white wall of snow and took a deep breath.

He focused on the totemic power within, though it did not surge manically like when he had an enemy ahead. He did not need to unleash it with so much explosiveness either, or exceed his own limits.

He was not in a hurry now.

Totemic power flowed through his body, the power of inheritance extended from totemic flames and concentrated at the bone ornament on his chest. Just like how he had been borrowing his ancestor’s powers- right now, it was more gradual.

In the past, he practised to familiarise with the process. Right now, he practised to improve his control. He did not need it to be too strong, just focusing on every detail so everything would go according to his will.

WHoosh…

Flames rose out of the bone ornament and slowly grew until they engulfed Shao Xuan. Energy poured out of his every pore and came into contact with the wild winds outside. Air currents whistled, then grew more powerful into roars in his ears.

The thin layer of snow beneath his feet looked like they had been swept away to reveal a circle of soil.

Half an arm away from Shao Xuan, there was a three-meter thick layer of snow. However, it disappeared at a speed identifiable by the naked eye. It looked like an invisible hand was pushing out a dent in the snow wall right before Shao Xuan.

As wind and snow billowed around the flame-engulfed Shao Xuan, he took one step forward.

Boom!

One step sounded like a stomp from the hoof of a giant beast. This action generated a blast radius that collided with the thick snow. The dent in the wall deepened quickly, forming a huge semicircle. Pieces of snow flew in the air and were tossed far away.

One piece of rock was shaken into the air, then shot into the snow like a bullet.

A moment of pause after the first step. Then, the second step came.

Just like the first, a boom sounded as he stomped on the ground. The snow was pushed back further, a lot of it flying in the air. The dent in the snow wall grew larger.

These two steps were nothing compared to when he hit the Linlu chief at King City, compared to the power he wielded against the king beast, probably nothing compared to the two steps he took at Gongjia Mountain. Although this was loud, it was not powerful. The energy surge was a lot calmer and controlled. It was not of an explosive nature like before.

This was the result of Shao Xuan’s control over it.

He could control his powers better now, as he familiarised with it. This way, energy would not be wasted when not necessary. He focused his efforts only on a target.
