Chapter 1082 – The Strange Saber

The moment Arthur pulled the saber with all his might, the two horses neighed, one in panic and other one in pain. Yet he was ready with his healing potion as he instantly carried the cauldron and flooded the wound with the fluid.

The moment he grabbed the saber out, the female horse tried to break free yet the male horse managed to fix her on the ground. Just as the fluid touched her wound, she neighed and violently convulsed out of severe pain.

And she managed to push the two males away from her and started to roll on the ground in violent movies.

“Don’t touch her for now,” Arthur hurriedly stopped the deeply anxious horse, “leave her to feel the pain.”

The horse glanced in question and worried Arthur. “She is going to be alright,” he said before adding as he stood up from the ground, “leave her to rest for now. She will wake up much better.”

The horse didn’t hear his words and went to check on his girl. Arthur only shook his head helplessly while taking the cauldron. “It’s still fine,” he sighed as he was worried it would be damaged, “it’s a blessing I had extra of everything… barely enough for this big family.”

He glanced at the horses around before noticing the saber. The saber was thrown away when his body was hit by the female horse.

“This… isn’t a normal weapon,” as he examined it, he felt how special this saber was. The blade had many writings over the sides of it. neatly arranged like being carefully engraved by such a skillful blacksmith. 

“At least I know this world is advanced in matters of forging,” he muttered.

He stored it away and went to check on his friend. “Sleeping like a little baby… even the prison didn’t change that nature of you, old man,” he found him peacefully sleeping and so he left him.

“I should start training,” he sat on the ground and closed his eyes for now. He kept breathing in and out for a long time. The speed of accumulating spiritual energy was fast, but nothing compared to what he felt when he was bathed with the green fire.

“I’ll have to first adjust my body to this world’s spiritual energy quality before doing anything else,” he softly muttered while considering his training.

He knew he would start now from scratch. It was a known fact to him that after ascending he would start from zero again.

It didn’t matter how strong or mighty you were, in any new realm you would start down from the bottom. As this bottom was already the pinnacle of your past cultivation base.

And in this world all his powers seemed to mean nothing.

“Even my dragonair energy… although it’s strong but in itself it’s weak.”

He knew the reason he managed to kill that guard wasn’t because of his energy but from his transformation. “Even it failed to maintain the transformation for minutes,” he thought about what happened and reflected upon it deeply.

“So I need to find a way to break that seal over my system,” he thought before adding, “but why was I sealed?”

This was a dilemma he knew nothing about. All he knew was that his powers were sealed away, and he needed to find a way to retrieve it back.

“So my system works on my golden pearl energy,” he thought about the words John told him before, “and to form it I’ll need to merge the two powers again together. Or would I gain this energy directly from here?”

He considered asking John about this when he woke up, but he soon dropped this idea. “I have to keep my own secrets to myself. My only aim now would be entirely focused on running away as far as possible from this place before finding a way to break my own seal.”

He knew John was also sealed as well, so the way he would use it would apply to him in theory. “Provided that we both have the same type of seal,” he thought before finally clearing out his mind of all these disturbing thoughts.

“I need to first train. Walking around these lands without a proper strength is suicidal.”

He started to focus on absorbing as much spiritual energy as possible. His dantian was now filled to the brim after long hours of training.

And so he started to circulate his energy inside his dense network of meridians. The more he did that, the stronger his body became, but he felt he didn’t yet reach the limit of his power.

“What are you doing?”

All of sudden this weak voice came so clear from his side, startling him. He was interrupted and hurriedly opened his eyes in vigilance to see John standing in front of him with questioning eyes.

“I’ve been watching you for an hour… your body seems to grow slightly stronger and call me crazy, but I sensed a strange flow of energy seeping inside your body.”

“I… was trying to break the seal,” Arthur had to lie, yet from the look on John’s face he knew that the old man didn’t buy his reason.

“I had to warn you then,” John only said after long moments of silence, “your old ways to train won’t apply here, at least they won’t yield the same results as before.”

“I… sensed that problem already,” Arthur lied again.

“That’s logic, after all the level of energy and the rules of this world can’t be compared at all with any other realm,” John sat weakly beside him, “what is this stable you suddenly brought it?” he motioned his head towards the horses as he asked with curious tone.

“I found them here,” Arthur said before telling him what happened in brief.

“A strange looking saber… huge and strong looking horses… hmm…” His words seemed to puzzle John who suddenly turned to Arthur with wide eyes as he instantly urged, “show me that saber, now.”

Arthur didn’t hesitate to take it out before John snatched it from his hands.. “Damn! You are really blessed with all the luck here boy,” John next laughed in a very strange way.
