Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 196: Acceptance

Jiang Hao couldn’t keep creating them now. This wasn’t an inheritance site where an abundance of spirit qi was present to do so—he had to drop any thoughts about it.

Oh well, let’s see how it goes... He immediately moved, and the bear reciprocated. They instantly came in front of each other and punched.

They met almost in the middle. It looked like the injury had slowed the bear enough to bring its speed around his.

BAMMMMM!

Jiang Hao’s punch and the bear’s closed paw collided with each other. Jiang Hao immediately felt his arm vibrate and was pushed back. It was enough to make him take eight steps. Although the bear’s speed had slowed, its strength hadn’t decreased much.

Jiang Hao shrugged his arm a few times before moving again. The bear didn’t back out.

It already knew that killing Jiang Hao was impossible unless it could instantly obliterate him, which was not possible.

This fight already seemed like a losing battle to it. Maybe Jiang Hao had a limit where he could regenerate, but it seemed like Jiang Hao wasn’t even close to reaching that. freewёbnoνel-com

It had already used quite a lot of blood qi. No doubt it still had enough to carry this battle for hours, but it had a feeling that Jiang Hao was totally aware of that point.

And given how calm Jiang Hao looked, he definitely wasn’t worried about it at all, so it seemed that this battle might be a losing one for the bear.

But it also didn’t want to run away. Its pride wouldn’t allow it. How could it even think about retreating from a mid-stage Grade 4 human while being at the peak stage of Grade 5?

"Grrrrrrahhhhhh..."

Jiang Hao punched again in the same manner, and the bear did the same. The only difference was that Jiang Hao’s punch was coated in primal essence, while the bear had coated its punch in a layer of stones.

THUMMMMMMPPPPP!

The result didn’t change much. Jiang Hao was forced back again—in fact, this time nine steps back.

He even felt his bones creak in his arm.

Finally, a small smile formed on his lips.

He had been fretting over how his mother was put in danger, even though he did everything to keep her separated from everything.

Even though he had just killed the person behind it, he wasn’t satisfied at all. In the end, it wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t gone to the city.

It wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t revealed his strength and had stayed hidden completely.

He wouldn’t have enemies who would have even tried to attack his mother in the first place.

All these thoughts had been in his mind till now, but after thinking it through, he came to a single conclusion.

Would his mother truly have been out of danger if he hadn’t made enemies? Many villages get destroyed by devil cultivators. It’s true that his village is in a very hidden area, but that didn’t make it invisible.

Some cultivator might randomly stumble upon it—then the situation wouldn’t have been any different.

It all depends on luck... or maybe on what fate has already decided. If he was truly playing in the hands of fate, then wouldn’t the end result have been the same no matter which path he had walked upon?

In the end, he came to a single conclusion—that he could only do what his strength allowed him to do. He would try his best to protect everything dear to him as long as he could.

If he couldn’t change anything, then he had to accept it. His mother was safe right now—that was all that should matter. He shouldn’t delve into it too much.

He would properly thank Senior Yao the next time he met her.

When he accepted it, his inner turmoil calmed down. He looked at the bear and moved again...

...

About one hour later, the bear was lying on its back. It wasn’t much injured, but it was exhausted to its limit.

Jiang Hao was still standing. To him, this situation looked similar to when he met Fenglai for the first time. He sighed and moved towards the spirit fruit tree.

The bear flinched the moment Jiang Hao moved. It looked at him warily. Although it was exhausted, it could still push a little more if it wanted.

It only relaxed slightly when Jiang Hao moved towards the spirit fruit tree.

Jiang Hao came to the tree and looked at the red fruits. Each one of them was definitely bigger than his fist.

To this bear, they might be as small as tiny seeds. Jiang Hao flew up and plucked twenty of them. It would be enough for everyone. If he liked them, he would come here again.

After that, he brought out three peak-stage spirit herbs and threw them towards the bear before vanishing from the location.

Since battling with it had cleared his mind, he wasn’t keen on killing it.

The bear was stunned before looking towards the spirit herbs. It truly didn’t know what had happened, and why that human would do such a thing, maybe he had gone mad—but no matter, it was excited to see the herbs.

Two of them belonged to the earth element, so they were perfect for it. It immediately picked them up and went back towards its cave...

...

Jiang Hao appeared back on the mountain.

He couldn’t see Senior Huan and Zhi. Maybe they were preparing for their breakthrough. Sister Ming was again practicing her sword skills, while Sister Meiying seemed to be sparring with Fenglai—well, more like throwing him here and there.

When Ming Yue saw him return, she stopped and appeared in front of Jiang Hao.

She looked at him with eyes filled with scrutiny.

"Junior brother, where were you?"

"Senior sister, what do you mean?"

"Junior brother, these robes aren’t the ones you were wearing when you left, so for you to change your robe, you must have fought a tough battle, right?"

Jiang Hao understood where it was going.

"Yes."

"So junior, since you went to have fun, why didn’t you invite me?"

Jiang Hao didn’t know what he should say here. If he said that it was just on a whim, she wouldn’t listen and would just use the previous excuse of him fighting alone.

Suddenly, he thought of something and took out the fruit.

"Senior sister, I just wanted to taste this, but a beast was guarding it. I have brought you some."

He had brought enough for everyone.

Ming Yue looked at the fruit and took it.

"Really, junior brother?"

"Yes, senior sister."

Although Ming Yue had a feeling that it wasn’t entirely the truth, she nodded—as she knew he had definitely gone for something else, and she knew it was something he wasn’t willing to share.
