Chapter 104: One layer done, one to go

——(POV third person, the eastern wall)——

Working with Li Wanrou was a blast for Li Huang because Cai ZhenKang was more 'dedicated' to work and there were an even lower amount of mistakes on his part. This was an intelligent move on his part as he didn't want to get into Li Wanrou's radar again.

With the addition of 10 new members, the wall was built fast. Having Qi in this kind of construction work is like having more hands as you can move materials with your Qi and based on your cultivation realm and stage, you can move even? more items at the same time.

Li Huang had a group of 9 if you include him in it, so when Li Wanrou got here the group size more than doubled and the work sped up. In a short time, everything started to take shape and soon they were going to build the adjacent walls.

"Cai ZhenKang, help me rebuild this part." Li Huang said. He was nitpicking but when it can save lives, this is not that much of a nuisance to do.

"Alright!" Cai ZhenKang said and you could feel how energetic he was from his voice. No, he didn't change his mind about the construction work being boring to him but Li Huang found a workaround for it.

When they had to rebuild a part of the wall, they had to extract the stone cubes if it was in the middle of the wall and you didn't want to rebuild everything that came after that. So Li Huang told Cai ZhenKang to use his Axe Qi to disconnect the parts that were a problem from the wall. This small thing changed Cai ZhenKang's perspective on the work completely. Li Huang was almost sure that if Cai ZhenKang wasn't afraid of Hu Anjing and Li Wanrou, he would make more mistakes just to get to do some 'stone cutting'.

'Let's just hope that he won't develop a habit out of cutting stones.' Li Huang thought.

Cai ZhenKang cut the stones out of the wall and Li Huang stored the whole thing in his storage ring to free the space. The first time that they did this, Cai ZhenKang started punching the disconnected part to get it out of there. Needless to say, that was a stupid plan as it destroyed more walls than it should have because the walls are not strengthened yet. Well, Cai ZhenKang got his lesson there and so did Li Huang. After that time, Li Huang would store that part of the wall before Cai ZhenKang could get an impulse to punch it out.

"Okay, let's fix it now." Li Huang said as he filled the hole with new stones that didn't have the issues that the previous ones had. Their method was rudimentary but it would work so they went with it as none of them was an architect.

Cai ZhenKang started using his Axe Qi like a laser to make it easier for the new stones to fit there. As the stones were almost identical it wasn't that hard of a job but it was tedious for him.

In less than a minute they were done with this repair and got back to building more walls.

…

"What is your plan now, Huang?" Li Wanrou asked Li Huang as they were done with the inner walls and she didn't know how Li Huang had planned the future process.

"Hmm, it would be for the best that we continue building until we have finished this batch of materials. Now that we got the hang of it I think it is better that we continue with outer walls and let others start fortifying these walls with scrolls and formations…" Li Huang shared his thoughts. Cai ZhenKang didn't comment on it as he know that going out for materials when they have materials is just plain stupid. Well, the fact that Li Wanrou was also there played a part in it too.

"Alright, we will follow your lead." Li Wanrou nodded and said. Giving her fellow disciples a nod, she let them know that they will be moving soon.

"Thank you, let's finish this." Li Huang said and he too got ready to move to the outer walls.

…

As life is usually, nothing goes as planned and you always have something unexpected that happens. This time it wasn't an unforeseen event but it was certainly something that changed the plans.

Li Huang, Li Wanrou, and Cai ZhenKang sensed a big beast horde getting close on them as they were going to start building the walls. As the horde was heading toward the fort, they had to stop it and do it fast because the inner walls can not hold these beasts as they are not strengthened yet.

"Get ready for the engagement." Li Huang shouted to make everyone aware of the upcoming enemy forces.

"Everyone other than Li Wanrou and Cai ZhenKang gets into a linear formation. We three will eliminate as much beast as possible, you have to deal with whatever that is left of them." Li Huang added. He looked at Li Wanrou and Cai ZhenKang to see their reactions.

"HAHAHA, Li Huang mark this day because you had the fortune to fight alongside me! HAHAHA…" Cai ZhenKang said as he lunged forward toward the beast horde.

"My body got a little stiff with all these works, this would be a good stretch." Li Wanrou said and she also followed Cai ZhenKang to meet the beasts head-on.

'Well, it is good that we have a good team with high confidence in themselves.' Li Huang thought and he too didn't waste time and ran forward toward the beasts. The horde consists of some sort of four-legged beasts that have two horns. Their physique showed that they have strong bodies and their body was covered by furs that were mostly colored black.

As they got closer to the beasts Cai ZhenKang was the first target for the ferocious beasts.

The beast tried to kill Cai ZhenKang by attacking him with its two horns. Seeing this, Cai ZhenKang grabbed the beast from its horns and threw the beast back to his friends. The beast was soon stomped to death by the running horde of his comrades.

"HAHAHAHA, this is how you should spend your days, you have been living in vain Li Huang!" Cai ZhenKang turned to taunt Li Huang like he always would.

The moment Cai ZhenKang turned to face Li Huang a beast tried to use this chance to sneak attack him. Li Huang who saw this didn't hesitate and shot a sword Qi bullet toward the beast that was right behind Cai ZhenKang.

To Cai ZhenKang it looked like Li Huang was attacking him but the moment that the attack passed him, he heard a *thump* sound. Turning around he saw the beast that was trying to sneak attack him when he wasn't paying attention, laying lifeless on the ground.

"Cai ZhenKang, you were about to die in vain…" Li Huang said with a smirk.

"…What death? It wouldn't even leave a scratch on me." Cai ZhenKang said as confidently as he could but Li Huang knew that the beast could definitely scratch him so he didn't pay attention to Cai ZhenKang's answer.

"Sure, sure…" Li Huang said and attacked the next beast.

"YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS OF MY BODY'S RESILIENCE." Cai ZhenKang shouted at the top of his lungs. He wanted to make sure that Li Huang heard him. Li Huang tried his hardest to not show any reaction to his shout.

…

Li Wanrou was using her main spear with her weapon Qi to attack them from a distance. Her spear was created from a special material that made it super easy to control from a distance. With a secondary spear, she would attack any beast that could pass her main spear's attacks.

Li Huang would throw shurikens every once in a while to eliminate the beasts that he couldn't kill with only a sword Qi bullet. His main method of fighting was the sword dance he tried in the team formation.

Cai ZhenKang on the other hand was fighting like a savage. You could see body parts being thrown everywhere. This was one of the famous fighting techniques of the Blue Bulls sect that imitate many ferocious beasts and let the practitioner fight like them.

It is said that this technique has 999 forms and one can only learn them one after another so there is no shortcut in learning this technique. The first patriarch of the Blue Bulls sect is said to be able to master 902 forms of this technique in his time.

The method for training each of the forms is connected to the one before it for all the forms except the 999th form. The page that teaches this form only has the name of this form on it and it is said that once you know all other forms, you can gain enlightenment about this final form. This final form is called 'Blue Bull'.
