Immortal Ascension Tower - Book 1: Reborn! [CH 1 - 75]

Chapter 33 - You Are No Brother Of Mine!

"Cheng Hao, why are you complying with that old man's foolish demands?" Goldy hovered in midair as he reprimanded the golden eyed boy "Do you have any idea how many cultivation resources you will lose access to? Just rip off the seal!"

The young boy ignored the snake as he headed towards the place his comrades were going to.

He took a small shortcut, although he did not have a cultivation base anymore, his fleshly body was still outstanding and the Roc's blessing allowed him to move even faster. Right now, there was close to no difference to the speed he had when he still had his cultivation than now.

Still, he didn't dare to move at high speeds as he feared it would harm his body if he didn't reinforce it with his cultivation base.

[Note: Speed without Cultivation Base: Fleshly Body (<1%) + Roc's blessing(>99%);
Speed with cultivation base - Cultivation Base and Fleshly Body(still less than <1%) + Roc's blessing(>99%).

Basically, most of his speed comes from the Roc's ability, not from his Cultivation Base or Fleshly Body, so missing one isn't a big deal. Right now, he has a weak fleshly body so he can only use a small percentage of his true speed until he either has a breakthrough in cultivation or powers up his Fleshly Body. Unfortunately, since his cultivation is sealed, he can't do either of those things.

Also, the Roc's blessing is a part of him, not a borrowed power, as it is simply the knowledge of how to manipulate the air and reduce friction and propel himself forward by using the particles that were supposed to slow him down to move faster. This is why, even without cultivation base, he is able to move at incredible speeds]

Cheng Hao jumped on a wall, contracted his abdominals and kicked off the stone wall, somersaulting on a nearby rooftop. He landed on the surface and then began to run on top of the buildings, cutting by more than half the time needed to join up with his comrades.

He leaped from rooftop to rooftop like a shadow, twisting and turning in the air just like an expert gymnast. Finally, after a few minutes of running and jumping, he finally saw the group of ten below him.

He gulped and then prepared himself for what's to come. He breathed in and a out a few times and finally, when he had completely calmed down, he jumped.

He dropped down from a building five meters tall and cushioned the fall by rolling on his side before jumping back up again.

"Brother!" Xiao Wu was the first to notice Cheng Hao. Her expression though, soon turned from joy to shock: Cheng Hao looked really tired, and no cultivation could be sensed on his body.

"Brother, what happened to you!" Xiao Wu dashed but, as soon as she got close... *slap* Cheng Hao slapped her! "Don't come closer! You fool, this is all your fault!" The young man yelled as the people walking by them stopped to look at the commotion.

Xiao Wu rubbed her cheek "Brother... What are you?" *slap* The sound of skin hitting skin rang out again. This time, it was even louder than before. Cheng Hao's shoulders moved up and down as he yelled.

"Why did you tell him about the Forbidden Medicine! I told you not to tell anyone about that! Now look, I have lost my cultivation because that Elder removed the pill by force! Are you happy now?"

Cheng Hao was completely enraged and even Xiao Wu was shocked by his behavior as she tried to recall when she had done anything like that. "Brother... What do you mean Forbidden Medicine?"

Cheng Hao trembled "You bitch! That medicine gave me my cultivation and my talent, it was a divine Pill! So what if I relied on draining other cultivators' cultivation bases? It was a godly item! I even raised these pieces of trash..." Cheng Hao pointed at Fu Yin, Fan Lai and the people from the All But In Blood Alliance.
