32 Will. (1/2)
'[Techniques] [Pills] [Materials] [Miscilenaneous]'
Staring at the mystical display, Su Min paused. To be honest, although he would like a technique, he has more important problems to deal with right now...
'Pills...'
Moving with a slurred action, Su Min pressed on the pills button. He felt his mind become muddy as his body continued to spew blood everywhere, drenching each and every surface surrounding him.
*SHING*
'Partial Blood Pill - 1 Bronze Token
Heals basic mortal wounds when in an emergency.
Blood Pill - 5 Bronze Tokens
Heals any form of basic injury and can rejuvenate a diminished vitality.
...
..... '
Su Min's eyes shined as he focused on Partial Blood Pill; it seemed to be what he wanted.
'Buy...'
”Don't tell me he's buying that pill...”
Shaking like he was death patient, Su Min threw the token at the screen. It wasn't like he knew it would just accept it, but he didn't have the strength to move anymore.
*SHING*
Luckily, the token disappeared without a trace, causing a new *SHING* to ring from the screen. A faint tremble shook the air as a small slit in space formed, and with a soft force, a blood red pill got thrown out.
Su Min, not even caring what it was, grabbed the pill and threw it into his mouth. Just at the instant, numerous gasps could be heard behind him as everyone went wide-eyed.
”Although it'll heal him, the pain will kill him instead!”
A shout quaked as one of the men in the group blurted out. Though, the leader seemed to have a different thought as he gazed at Su Min.
”Maybe not...”
Just as they were discussing, Su Min, with a burst, suddenly collapsed on the ground. His body wriggled with a cringe-inducing crackling pop; his bleeding arms and his ruptured skin scabbed, and his dislocated bones were pushed back into their sockets.
The pain coming from this would make anyone faint, yet Su Min's eyes remained unchanged as he just waited for his body to fix itself.
Mumbling, he spoke as if he was impressed.
”I need a few of these...”
It was shocking, and everyone couldn't even believe their eyes. Though, the leader, with a mysterious glint, spoke like he was reminiscing.
”He's similar to senior...”
*Scrape*
Su Min, clenching his fingers, stretched his arms as he brought himself off the floor; he seemed fine. His eyes, with a hazy gaze, lingered on the crushed bones on the floor.
”Not enough...”
His glare was that of utter hatred as he recalled the past.He didn't feel satisfied with just this. It was like an unquenchable thirst, never-ending.
'Li Family... I need to become stronger...”
Feeling his body, Su Min felt the urge for strength smudge his rational thoughts. Even though he was healed, that was just on the surface; he actually felt that his body was weaker than usual. Like his injuries would flare up if he exerted himself too much; 50% at most.
'I need to rest for a while. Though, It seems that recovering would take at least a couple days at this rate...'
It seems that the healing pill will only stop life-threatening damage, not injuries deep in his body. Such injuries will take a while to repair, even with his intense vitality.
”I guess I'll take it easy for a while.”
Making up his mind, Su Min proceeded to take heavy steps toward the exit. However, just as he was leaving, the leader of the group coughed before asking.
”Uh, you're Su Min right?”
Halting, Su Min nodded. The man, looking like a giant, nodded before adding on.
”Just so you know, there's a genius who has quite a similar mentality to yours... Especially concerning your abnormal Will. Maybe look out for him if you ascend from this godforsaken place.”
Su Min, feeling confused, nodded once again without thinking too much.
”Mhm.”
'Will, discipline? I know all too much about that...'
...
...
*Step* Step* *THUD*
Looking at the bright day, flashing with an everpresent sizzle, Su Min arrived at the hut compound. Glancing at the numerous humble abodes, Su Min sighed.
”Hehe! Yin Zan, you'll never catch me!”
A sudden laugh echoed out of the compound as a girl ran up one of the grassy hills, following her was a young lady. They circled up and down the hill, causing Su Min to flash with surprise.
'I thought she would be cutting down those trees...'
Su Min, pondering, went back to the hut to make sure that something was there.
'I left my axe back where I chopped the tree down. I think there was another one here.'
Revelling at his own forgetfulness, Su Min gazed inside. It seemed that the two on the hill hadn't noticed him yet, which was good for him.
'Hm? He brought my axe back?'
Su Min found that the axe he used was on the table, and now that he looked at it a strange golden glint shined occasionally. Though, it was strange that the sword youth would just go and put his axe back for no reason.
