Seven Deadly Sins System

Chapter 117 [Warrior Apprentice]

"Whoosh!"

The silver sword in Chu Wuyao's right hand pierced through the air, making a sharp whooshing sound and causing the yellow dry leaves around her to rustle.

Chu Wuyao moved her hand continuously, swinging the sword towards the air in front of her, while her breathing became strange, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, following a strange rhythm.

Her actions were slow yet graceful, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, her serene expression and the shining moon in the sky, it seemed as if she was performing an elegant dance.

Time slowly went by and from the sweat that was running off her forehead and the look of exhaustion on her face, it was clear that these strange movements were starting to take a toll on Chu Wuyao's mortal body.

Chu Wuyao could feel every single muscle on her body aching, while she felt as if thousands of ants were crawling and biting on her skin.

Such pain would have caused an ordinary person to immediately stop their actions and take a rest, but with Chu Wuyao's mental strength and with her strong resolve, she was able to bear it.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, her right hand, which was holding the sword, became quicker, causing the sword to produce a loud sonic boom that spread in the area around her.

However, Chu Wuyao didn't have the time to care about this.

The moment this change happened, she felt an unknown energy flowing everywhere in her body, destroying her body and re-arranging it, increasing her physical strength and relieving her exhaustion in the process.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Wuyao felt that the strength of her physical body had more than doubled, while there were also some more foundational changes that had taken place.

"Did I become a Warrior Apprentice so easily?", Chu Wuyao muttered in a low voice and closed her eyes, "looking" inside her own body.

She was very familiar with this process, as cultivators had the ability to "see" inside their body from the very first realm, the Qi Accumulation Realm.

Originally, as a cultivator at the Shackles Realm, Chu Wuyao's body should have been filled with Mana, a high-level energy that had many strange and peculiar functions.

But now, she could see that her body was completely empty, devoid of any Mana, just like the body of an ordinary mortal would be.

No, to be more accurate, it was not completely empty.

Chu Wuyao could see a very small red energy that was the size of a finger moving inside her body, slowly increasing her strength in the process.

"Fighting Spirit.", Chu Wuyao thought and staring at this red energy that she had never seen before, she subconsciously compared it with what she was familiar with.

"Unlike Qi and Mana which are calm and somewhat mellow, the Fighting Spirit seems to be way more unruly and destructive.", she immediately judged.

Whether it is Qi or Mana, they are basically spiritual energy that has been purified through the use of a cultivation technique.

This was also why there is a need for a suitable cultivation technique in order for people to start cultivating and to breakthrough to higher realms.

Otherwise, everyone would just absorb spiritual energy and increase their strength.

"But Fighting Spirit is completely different.", Chu Wuyao thought.

Different from cultivators, Warriors don't need to absorb the energy of the surrounding world, as the Fighting Spirit comes from within their body.

Through the use of Warrior techniques, Warriors can "squeeze out" the potential of their body to produce Fighting Spirit, which in turn will strengthen themselves.

"From a certain point of view, the Warriors in this world are quite similar to Shackles Realm cultivators."

"Essentially, they are both digging into the potential of the human body.", Chu Wuyao thought and with a thought of her mind, she controlled this small amount of Fighting Spirit in her body to rush towards the silver sword in her hand.

As it rushed through it, a thin red film appeared on the sword's surface, increasing its sharpness and durability, while its temperature slightly increased.

Feeling this, Chu Wuyao raised her head to look at a small tree that was right in front of her and waved her hand, swinging the sword towards its trunk.

"Swoosh! Boom!"

The red-coated sword passed right through the trunk, cutting the tree in two pieces and causing its top part to fall to the ground, making dust fly everywhere.

Although Chu Wuyao's appearance had changed, from the connection of the Devil's Contract between them, Li Ruoshi instantly recognized her true identity.

On the side, Cthulhu and Yue Zhilan's ears perked up, also wanting to know the answer.

When she saw the obvious curiosity in the three people's eyes, Chu Wuyao didn't hide anything and explained everything that happened, from entering the blue gate to being transported to this world.

Having signed a Devil's Contract with these three, she wasn't afraid that they would betray her.

"What? Another world? An entirely different power system?"

Soon, a loud exclamation was heard.

Whether it was Li Ruoshi or Yue Zhilan, when they heard Chu Wuyao words, they were shocked, struggling to accept that they had been transported to another world.

After all, with their realm, how could they calmly accept such a thing?

Let alone them, even stronger people would be shocked if they were to suddenly learn that they have been transported to another world.

Compared to the two women, Cthulhu didn't show any abnormal reaction.

As a Devil, an infamous extraterrestrial creature, Cthulhu was very familiar with the existence of other worlds .

To it, being transported to another world was not special at all.

While waiting for the three people to digest this information, Chu Wuyao wasn't idle, but sized the three people up.

With her strong perception, she could sense that Li Ruoshi had actually advanced, becoming a Middle-Grade Spiritual Weapon and increasing her power.

This wasn't unexpected, as she had given Li Ruoshi a fragment of a Divine Weapon, as well as the blood of Ren Sang, a cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Shackles Realm.

Coupled with Li Ruoshi's special nature, it made sense for her to advance quickly.

On the other hand, Chu Wuyao hadn't been expecting the changes in Cthulhu's strength.

Although part of its strength had been sealed, she could still sense that it had actually reached the peak of the Young Devil rank, equivalent to becoming a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Accumulation Realm.

"It's worthy of being my first pet."

Nodding her head in satisfaction, Chu Wuyao turned her head and her eyes finally landed on the last person in the room, Yue Zhilan.

Although Li Ruoshi's and Cthulhu's changes were quite sudden, Chu Wuyao had managed to retain her calm expression, but when she saw Yue Zhilan, she was filled with surprise.

"Why can she still retain all her strength? Doesn't this world suppress foreign power?", she thought secretly, wondering whether her previous guesses had been wrong and it was not that the world suppressed foreign power, but it was just she who was suppressed.

However, the fact that Cthulhu was suppressed too made her deny that notion.

In the end, she could only shake her head and accept it for the time being, planning to investigate it further later.

In fact, no matter why Yue Zhilan was able to retain her strength, it was a actually a very good thing for Chu Wuyao.

The stronger her subordinates were, the safer she would be in this dangerous world.

Now that she had lost her strength, it was the time for the underlings that she had been training to play their role!

Thinking of this, Chu Wuyao couldn't help but smile slightly, imagining her bright future.

Unfortunately, Cthulhu's next words caused the smile on her face to disappear and for a cold glint to flash in her eyes.

"Master, I can feel that there are a dozen or so people standing outside the mansion. They seem to be those Warriors and Magicians that you previously mentioned."

"I can sense that they have ill intent towards you Master!"
