Chapter 134 Dust Settles
Boom!
A huge shockwave sent energy flying everywhere. I was caught into the attack. So were both You Feng and Cai Yun'er.
But I had the time to take out my life saving grace, the Ethereal weapon. I made it a shield and used it to defend myself.
But no weapon could bridge the gap between two major cultivation realms. My bones were broken and internal organs shaken. I could barely move.
But with that little movement, I popped a few pills into my mouth to heal myself as fast as possible. I felt the energy heal my body enough to move around. I looked at what You Feng and Cai Yun'er were doing, and if they were alive.
I needed them to be alive.
Their bodies were charred black, and they looked like they were burnt to a crisp. But there was movement. Slowly, they were healing, and this healing was visible.
I quickly took out the grenade from my spatial ring and threw it at them. I made sure to take out the pin.
The grenade rolled to both of them and just stood there.
"Don't tell me! The grenade is not working!" I clenched my fists.
The two bodies moved their faces to look at me. They looked at the grenade.
"You.. I was unsure who Gray Holton was. You are Gray Holton, aren't you? You are the other system user." Cai Yun'er said with a hoarse voice.
"You are the person that I need to face? You cheated me! I will kill you!" You Feng took out two pills from his spatial ring and put them in his mouth.
Skin appeared immediately, and then I could see that he was recovering completely.
I was frightened. I couldn't let this happen. I quickly took off the second grenade and threw it at him after taking out the pin.
"Do you think that this thing can really do us any harm? What is this, a grenade? Did you not realise that normal weapons from Earth can no longer harm us?" You Feng laughed.
Cai Yun'er struggled to move.
"You idiot. That could be an item. Stop messing with it-"
Boom!
Boom!
One by one, two explosions were set off by whatever You Feng did.
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!

I looked down. My torso was bleeding. A fragment of the grenade hit me. But it didn't damage me at all.
I didn't feel any pain, and I want even bleeding. I looked around. Everyone was down. Everyone has fallen because of this. I did not expect the after math of the battle to be this fierce.
But the good thing was, I had deniability. I walked back to where everyone was blown back and layed on the ground.
For all intents and purposes, I was unconscious for the whole event that occurred.
"Guess this finally got over. " I sighed.
I did not think that this would get over so easily. I glanced at my ring. It was already full. I had finished the mission before it even started.
"System home page" I muttered.

I looked at this with wonder. I finally had achieved something. Killing a Xiantian realm expert, that is a rare feat, achieved by few probably in the entire kingdom. After all, defeating an expert was one thing, and killing was another.
Even though I was defeated by the self destruction of that bandit, no one actually died from that. All three of us who were caught up in the attack actually survived in the end.
"Put eight points in strength and seven points in agility. Better now than late." I said.
[Adding eight points to strength. Adding seven points to agility. Addition confirmed.]
I just laid on the ground and took a moment to take it all in again. With this, my system was safe with me, for now at least. But the controls of the system were with someone else. And he or she could take this away from me at any time, at his or her whimsy.
"What happened? What was that sudden blast? Where is senior sister?" someone shouted.
I looked at him with pity. He had no idea that his beloved senior sister had died. At this point, I also felt some guilt. As the disciple of the sect leader, I was the one who had killed the Core disciple of the sect. It felt wrong.
"The real core sect disciple must have died, and this Yurian Gale must have taken her place. That was probably what happened. I mean, Yurian Gale is a male name, that is for sure. I wonder how it is, living in a girl's body." I started justifying my actions.
Ping!
Ping!
Ping!
"Urgh! What is it this time? I just completed everything right? And the actual mission that the system gave was actually a whole three months of time. What is it saying now?" I grumbled.
Although I needed to get stronger, overworking myself was not my motto. I could get stronger eventually, but I didn't want to force all of it immediately.
[Host is too weak. Host is too weak. Progression is deemed slow. Host will have to undergo rigorous training. Host will be teleported to the training spot in: 12:23:59:56]
"I have to go somewhere? In thirteen days? Where the hell is this?" I was taken aback.
