Xianxia: Why am I here?

126 Fourth floor origin temple

Standing on a mountain range, Wang couldn’t even see the end of the mountain.

But he could feel this challenge was not easy at all.

After having dealt with the situation between the bandits and the Chen family, Wang came back and focused on improving his movement techniques.

It was easy to obtain some from the collecti9n he had gotten in the period he challenged the third floor.

Over time he didn’t bother to practice them, but to pass the fourth floor he had to improve every aspect.

Over two weeks since then, he focused on improving himself and then went under the sea to challenge the original temple again. His speed had increased a lot and even the challenges on the fourth floor seemed ti be bearable.

The fourth floor seems to be some kind of threshold as such to pass he was required to do more than just fight one opponent.

With the continuous fighting on the fourth floor, he was not expelled directly like previously and could hold on for longer. Coupled with the mastery of fusion intent he took the opportunity to hone himself on the fourth floor instead of trying to pass through using tricks.

He could withdraw from time to time to digest his gains.

.....

Even without having to step into the world master realm, he could see his potential explode. He had even gained a higher level of control of power at the same time having the ability to fight for longer.

But these still did not prove enough, he knew that the challenge of the fourth floor was the last opponent.

“My current realm indeed could make it hard for me to defeat that opponent but it dies not to mean it is impossible. Since my realm is low, the chances to try it out are almost unlimited, so I’ll just take advantage of the situation to take myself to the possible limit my body can attain. I have yet to utilize that fruit I got from the tree in that black gate cave. Should I take it, but that would go against my original intentions.” after thinking for a while he denied the issue since he could see that he still had many places to improve himself.

As much as he was in a need of improvement he decided to not hurry as he still had time. To temper himself and like that several days passed by he came and in and out of the original temple at will.

He could break through after getting over this hurdle and he was looking forward to entering a new realm.

But he had already set the fourth floor as his ultimate goal. But that also meant he had to make up for all his shortcomings.

He was curious about the actual changes that could come about after entering the world master realm many times in the past but did not get any definite answer.

Every time Ruruo could only hint at him that it was difficult to explain and thus he was very much looking forward to it.

He has always been curious about what she meant by that so he decided to wait until that moment to truly know.

This day when he entered the tower he was full of spirit and even just standing there he gave off some confident aura.

He had yet to become serious over the days he came to the tower and was taking advantage of the rules in the place but he thought it was enough already.

“How about trying to get through today? At most I can try again after all my fusion intent and true meanings are all perfect.”

Wang talked to himself and his resolution seemed to have been steeled.

Delaying was not going to solve his issue at all and he had already covered most of the weaknesses he had in this period.

In that case, he could go ahead and test how much of an improvement he had achieved already.

To him now spending his efforts on those ordinary monsters and even weird-looking soldiers was not worth it. He was thus going to get serious and finish it quickly.

Thousands of beasts and weird-looking soldiers also seemed to be eyeing him.

It seemed that some kind of mechanism made it so that they couldn’t just be all around him.

But the premise was not breaking through a certain line he had already managed to learn of this when he attempted this floor several times already.

.

“You guys seem to be eyeing me but can’t move, so what if I moved towards you.”

Wang observed all the corpses under his feet and the line that seemed to be stopping the group from attacking him.

“The time has come to check out my progress over the years since coming to this world.”

“But before that, I should be in my best form first. Most of the things on that side seem to have the same aura as world master realm powerhouses. It’s bound to be a hard fight, how long could I hold on for?”

Moving beyond the line, it was impossible to go back, some kind of restriction seemed to come into play and he could only fight to death or surrender.

But that was not what he was thinking at the moment, a sword in his hand was turning like a spear as he disappeared from the original spot arriving before a huge beast and piercing its head.

The beast reacted first and withdrew before it struck out with a paw.

On seeing this Wang did not panic but just sighed since he still missed the best chance. He unfolded a movement technique and retreated towards the weakest world master beasts. He then struck out resulting in a thin golden sword light targeted at the neck.

The sword light seemed too fast for even the beast to react and its head was rolling before it realized what was going on.

Ignoring it, he unfolded his movement technique and solved several strong monsters and strange-looking soldiers.

The one that had managed to counter-attack seemed to be on alert and realizing that almost all the other stronger allies were dead it roared.

Its body started to expand too, and the aura from it also changed drastically.

looking at the human that dared to attack it, its eyes become red.

Wang threw away all the thoughts that were circulating in his head and took his focus in a certain direction.

When he moved toward the monster that had enlarged by several times, he could still feel oppression but he just ignored it.

With fast movements, he managed to evade the claws every time the beast waved toward him by an inch.

His body was flashing around from time to time. At the same time he aimed at the vital points of the huge beast, but the skin had become very hard.

He could hardly deal any damage, and on several collisions, he would retreat by decapitating those beasts around him.

This meant that with every collision he would reduce the number of beasts around him.

The weapon he was using, change from time to time, depending on how it was to be utilized.

One could see the sword appearing as though it was a spear when he stabbed straight and when he hacked it seemed as though it was a saber.

And the fusion intent on it made it that the changes were so natural, that defense and attack seemed very well coordinated.

In just an instant, the number of weird soldiers had dropped drastically as he found out their weaknesses after several collisions.

Every time he made a move, it was sure death for them, thus turning the entire area into a sea of blood.

At the same time, his fighting prowess seemed to be continuing to increase with time, due to the injuries that seemed to be accumulating on the huge monster.

The fusion intent on the sword, released a golden light, and the attack power skyrocketed along with his speed turning into a golden light, that seemed to be attacking the same spot continuously, enlarging the already existing wounds. He even attempted to behead it by taking advantage of its anger to target its weak spot.

As it raised its claws, he retreated and advanced at the same time, bypassing the claw slashing towards the throat.

But surprisingly things did not turn out as he had wished to as he somehow lowered its head to the grounds making the slash only leave a small wound on its back.

It reacted just at that moment of its death, indicating that the beast had good reaction speeds.

The situation, however, was not very good for it since the number of wounds on its body was increasing with time.

But Wang was not happy at all, he could only sigh, “Unfortunately, I still failed to take It down in the end. Once it turns into the enraged state, it might be very difficult to win.”

He wanted to improve himself during this time and even increase speed due to fear of that state, as it is the most important aspect of the fourth floor.

Based on how much it had suffered by his hands it would turn very mad, and the state might even be exaggerated.

After missing taking the head, he retreated even further this time. After having been in such a state of intense attack and retreat, his body was starting to show signs of exhaustion.

Thankfully he could still wave his swords harvesting lives in those soldiers approaching his direction at a fast speed.

But most of his attention is on the beast whose body seemed to be turning entirely red in the distance.

Even the fur had turned red, so he knew it had eventually started, the real fight on the fourth floor.

“Roar!..”

The roar from the beast contained anger and resentment towards him. He could see that speed and attack of the monster had increased dramatically especially seeing the claw magnifying in his eyes.

He slashed out and reiterated as such that the slash and claw collided using the force to even retreat further.

Without doing that, he might have suffered even serious injuries.

Taking a one hundred and eighty-degree turn, he unleashed the remaining force from the attack by slashing his sword at the strange soldiers.

Since they couldn’t dodge, only sounds of something collapsing on the floor could be heard.

The situation was already not easy and thus he added all the remaining attributes to the movement techniques, and his speed suddenly started to increase even further.

But the body was not feeling well, since the speeds seemed to be going beyond its limit of tolerance, but he ignited this.

Wang could hear the sound of cracking bones on his arm after the confrontation but at the same time, he had taken down the paw for the beast.

” It can recover later, no worries, let’s take the rest too, and then complete this when it can’t even move.”

Wang managed to withstand the pain felt from his bones breaking attacking at a higher speed.

Speed seemed to increase the power of the attacks by very much thus allowing him to cause lethal damage to the monster.

The confrontation between the two continued for a long period before eventually, he had a strange feeling.

His bones were broken, and his body was in a poor state but he could see that the world seemed very silent.

“Why has time stopped?”

.....

Wang looked around and could see that the beasts and strange army left alive seemed to have stagnated.

The huge monster was also the same, but then suddenly he remembered something and seemed to smile.

“Artistic conception of speed.” Indeed due to having raised his speed beyond that of his body limit, he seemed to have managed to gain some benefit.

It was not that time has stopped rather he was not very fast, he could see things as though they were slow.

But he knew this state couldn’t be maintained long due to his current level.

This he quickly moved with the sword in hand and after arriving before the monster, he seemed to have moved the sword across its neck before turning toward the other opponents and doing the same.

At this moment, he suddenly recovered but his body was very exhausted so was his spirit.

But at the same time, the artistic conception seemed to have ended, several heads rolled down including the main beast set as a standard for passing the fourth floor.

“puff!..” That was the sound from all around.

Blood splattered everywhere and he was holding onto the sword as a walking stick to support himself.

However he was happy, not for the passing the fourth floor, but the comprehension of artistic conception.

“Speed is like time..” He seemed to have realized something at the same time not.
