I Am Overlord

Chapter 876: Preparing to Separate and Train

Chapter 876: Preparing to Separate and Train

Han Chenfei and Ouyang Chuanqi were super geniuses, but even they were greatly shocked by what Xiang Shaoyun did.

Just two days ago, Xiang Shaoyun was still badly injured. Two days later, not only had he fully healed himself, but he had also comprehended fist intent. He possessed a talent that made others feel hopeless.

Ouyang Chuanqi couldn't help but say, "Overlord, you're a freak."

He had thought that he was strong enough to stand against Zhan Wushuang now that he had entered the ninth stage and that he wouldn't need to fear even Xiang Shaoyun's Nether Soul Domain. But now, Xiang Shaoyun could already fight Zhan Wushuang evenly, albeit with some difficulty, and that dealt a great blow to his confidence.

Ouyang Chuanqi had always been proud of his outstanding talent in cultivation, and he was confident he was no less talented than anyone else. But now, he couldn't help but acknowledge that Xiang Shaoyun was even more talented.

As for Han Chenfei, her gaze became burning when she was looking at Xiang Shaoyun. If there were nobody else here, she would probably jump into Xiang Shaoyun's arms and confess her love.

This is a man I need to grab onto tightly, decided Han Chenfei inwardly.

Xiang Shaoyun was unaware of what Han Chenfei was thinking, and he wasn't in the mood to think about it. He said to the members of the Overlord Legion, "In the remaining time, focus on hunting the devilish plants and strive for higher rankings."

"Yes, Overlord!" everyone replied together.

"Good. All who are injured, gather up. I will administer some healing to accelerate your recovery," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Overlord, you have just recovered from your injuries, so you shouldn't overexert yourself," Han Chenfei advised against it.

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand. "I'm fine. Everyone, gather up."

Many Overlord Legion members knew Xiang Shaoyun cultivated the Secret Reversal Technique, but only a few of them were aware that he could use the technique to mass heal. Thus, many looked at him doubtfully, wondering how he was planning to heal all of them. They wondered if he was going to give them some healing spring water.

When Xiang Shaoyun used the Secret Reversal Technique, everyone was stunned. They had never imagined that Xiang Shaoyun actually had such a trick up his sleeve. The abundant life force washed over them, giving them a sense of calm and comfort.

"Calm down and focus on absorbing all this energy to heal up," Xiang Shaoyun commanded.

The Secret Reversal Technique released a pulse of energy that enveloped the dozens of people, showering them with a green radiance. That was the wood energy from inside his body and also their surroundings. At the same time, he also used the profundity of wood to create a true healing life force.

The thick wood energy in the surroundings was the major reason why he could heal so many people at the same time. If this was anywhere else, he would already be happy with healing perhaps about a dozen people at once.

Naturally, after he entered the Soul Foundation Realm, he would be able to unleash even more power, expanding the speed and scale of his healing. After using the Secret Reversal Technique for about an hour, he had gathered enough life force to fully heal everyone present.

They were filled with reverence for him. Only now did Xiang Shaoyun have the time to check on Lady Shura. She had just awakened.

"What happened to you before this?" Xiang Shaoyun asked worriedly as he held her hand.

He had been cold and detached toward the other women, but not Lady Shura. She was the one who had been silently staying by his side and taking care of him. She hadn't wronged him, and he naturally would treat her with warmth.

Lady Shura replied, "After entering the battleground, I was separated from everyone. I ran from the Flaming Sun people for a bit and eventually met some of the people from the legion. But after some time, they withdrew from the battleground one after another for various reasons, leaving only me behind. Later, I met Gui Mochou. I wasn't his match, and he knocked me out. After waking up, I was here."

As Lady Shura talked, she had a blank expression. Evidently, she had no idea what had happened during the time she was unconscious.

Xiang Shaoyun gently pulled her into his arms and stroked her hair as he said, "Um. All is good as long as you're safe. A day will come when I capture that Gui Mochou and allow you to punish him as you deem fit."

Lady Shura buried herself in his arms. Her eyes seemed to flicker with a sinister light, but it only lasted a split second before it was gone. Not far away, Han Chenfei and the Han Clan sisters were filled with envy when they saw the intimate interaction between Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura.

In the coming days, the Overlord Legion people started hunting devilish plants under Xiang Shaoyun's leadership. There were three freaks in their team; hence, the safety of their members was pretty much guaranteed. Not even those powerful devilish plants could do much to them.

In a flash, two months passed. Everyone's points had increased sharply, and unsurprisingly, the three freaks were accumulating points the fastest. After all, the three were the strongest and were in charge of killing the stronger devilish plants. Therefore, it was understandable that they had accumulated more points.

During the past two months, Xiang Shaoyun had held in his curiosity and had not looked at the treasures he had obtained from the secret cave. It was not that he wasn't curious what was inside, but he had just broken through to the seventh stage. He needed to focus on consolidating his cultivation base for now, and he was in no rush to do anything else.

In any case, the treasures were already on him. He could look at them at any time. There were about three more months before the closure of the battleground, and Xiang Shaoyun announced that they would scatter and train separately since they had already gathered enough points.

They could not understand why he made that decision. After all, it would be safer staying together since they could cooperate and deal with any danger coming their way. Why were they suddenly separating?

Xiang Shaoyun scanned the crowd and said, "Brothers and sisters, each of you is only someone who has entered the academy after going through numerous tests. This is proof that each of you is a cultivator with outstanding talent. The Overlord Legion is honored to have each one of you. Now that there is not much time left before the battleground is closed and everyone has collected a sizable number of points, we will definitely be ranked decently on the list. However, I personally think that the list is nothing but vanity. To obtain more strength, we need to prove ourselves. Only by training separately will we be able to squeeze more of our potential out. Only then will our strength reach an even higher level, and even if that results in us being forced to withdraw from the battleground early, it is still worth it. What do you think?"

He was right. They were all genius cultivators, and they all had their pride. Recently, they had gotten used to staying by Xiang Shaoyun and had accumulated a rapid number of points. They were surprised by Xiang Shaoyun's decision. After he explained his reasoning, they all nodded, as they found themselves to be in agreement with his thoughts.

All of them had reached where they were now through numerous difficult training sessions. Xiang Shaoyun's words had pulled them back to reality and reminded them that by training separately in the remaining time, they would be able to ultimately gain more.
