78 Su Mins Soul. (1/2)

*Wanggg*

In a quiet area, where a single cultivation chamber stood, a white shimmering sheet landed with three people. The cultivation chamber in front was surrounded by a strange white mist, one that exuded a faint dangerous sensation.

”Miss Wu Miang, I hope you find the accommodation to your standards...”

Shen Hu smiled as he bowed and gestured towards Wu Miang. She in return gazed at the chamber with dull eyes and took a step inside.

*Woosh*

A sudden dense stream of energy exploded out of the chamber as a heavenly glimmer lit the sky. It dazzled the eyes, but it didn't invoke any response to Wu Miang.

”A grade three intensity of heaven's energy, pretty good!”

Shen Hu's eyes twitched for a second as he coughed, but he quickly smiled.

”That's good...”

The cultivation chamber itself wasn't that large, where the only thing that accompanied it was a mat and a strange stream of bright liquid in the corner.

This liquid gave a mystical feeling to the eye, and its crystalline nature made it seem like something other than water.

Wu Miang strode towards the fountain and sipped a drop, nodding her head.

”Pretty good as well.”

Though she didn't seem too impressed with the lack of motivation tinging her voice. Shen Hu continued to smile, though, that strange desireable fire in his eyes continued to blaze.

'It's really unfortunate for such a beauty to get thrust into this death-ridden world... Maybe If I just...'

His thought slurred for a second, but he shook it out soon after as he reminded himself of Su Min's presence.

'Annoying...'

Nevertheless, none of this shone as he remained the same and spoke.

”I'm glad that the cultivation fountain is to your tastes... Oh, but there is a problem...”

His eyes soon redirected themselves onto Su Min who stood to the side. Shen Hu didn't seem to enjoy Su Min's presence as a slight irritation shrouded his expression.

”I'm sorry, but what was your name? Sun Ming..?”

Su Min remained placid as he gazed at Shen Hu with deep eyes and spoke.

”Su Min.”

Shen Hu coughed as disappointment flashed, but he still continued.

”You see, we weren't expecting your presence... So we don't have any cultivation chambers nearby at the moment...”

An obvious hint displayed itself in his voice as Shen Hu rubbed his forehead with understanding.

”So... You'll have to stay in a chamber a little far away.”

However, a strange light seemed to blaze in his eyes for a moment as he spoke, but it was too quick to notice. Wu Miang froze as she somehow caught this, but she didn't say anything as she awaited Su Min's response.

'I'm probably just overthinking it... This sect should be trusted.'

She tried to convince herself, but that disconcerting light never left her mind.

”Hm... Wait one second.”

Su Min's expression flashed as he pondered and strode out. Shen Hu watched this with a pause, but as a sudden explosion sounded soon after, incredulous replaced his smile.

*BANGGG*

”W-what are you doing?!”

He scampered out of the chamber and rushed to where the boom thundered, which was just right to the entrance.

”This rock is kinda hard...”

However, as he gazed upon Su Min with his steaming fist shoved in the rock wall, shock rose.

'He broke it?!'

*THUD*

Su Min withdrew his fist that was embedded in the rock. A tuft of dust spewed out afterwards, where a plain fist-sized crack revealed itself.

Shen Hu eyes twitched as he stuttered out a sentence brimming with questioning hysteria.

”Are you trying to form your own cave..? Don't you know how dense the rock is?! Only 6th step strength can safely break it, so don't moan if you have injured yourself!”

He lost his composure for a bit, but seeing Wu Miang run out behind him, he breathed and returned to his respectable countenance. Su Min didn't reply as he drew his fist back and seemed to be about punch again.

Shen Hu, seeing Su Min's fist appear in a fine state, widened with shock and tried to speak, but still kept that calm expression as he continued to notice Wu Miang's emergence.

”...Sir, I really recommend that you st-”

*BANGGGGG*

However, he was interrupted as a thunderous bellowing bang blasted his vision in a tuft of smoke. An impenetrable wailing wind pushed him back a step as he found his body grow heavy from the force, but this only caused that shock in his heart to magnify.

*Wooooshhh...*

Though it didn't last long as that disastrous shockwave died down and revealed a shocking crevice in front of Su Min; one that was at least a couple meters deep and wide.

”Y-you...”

A newfound fear jolted through his body as he gaped at Su Min like he was a beast. Su Min didn't see anything wrong with what he has done, though, because wasn't this just rock..?

”It's just a wall... Well whatever. I can stay here, right?”

Su Min remained indifferent as he spoke. Wu Miang appeared to be dazed as she stood in the corner. But as she gazed at Shen Hu's frightened face and Su Min's confused expression she began to giggle.

”Pfft!”

Shen Hu stiffened as he heard this and redirected his gaze back and forth from Su Min to Wu Miang. He seemed to want to speak to Su Min about repairs, but he decided against that.
