Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 78: Subsiding the Energy


The Tower Master: "There was a strange incident that happened at the tower. Last month, I felt strange and strong energy, but I did not know where it came from. I felt cold on my back when that energy got closer to me. After that incident, I have been monitoring the place, but nothing unusual happened, until today…"

The Tower Master said while feeling a little awkward to say something like that. He thought this story might make the young monks laugh at him because he was one of the elders at the monastery…

Master Tue-Zhang: "Are you saying that there is a ghost in the monastery?"

Master Tue-Zhang asked while showing that he did not want to believe that there was a ghost at the monastery. If he heard this story from someone else, he would comment that the story was nonsensical. But this was from a respectable elderly monk, the Tower Master. So, he took into account his credibility…

"I also felt that too Master!"

All of a sudden, a young monk shouted that he also had the same experience that the Tower Master did…

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

More and more monks started to say that they also had the same strange experience. Master Tue-Zhang crinkled his eyebrows instantaneously when a lot of people confirmed the strange thing that they had all experienced. It made him start to think seriously about that mysterious energy…

Boom!

Another strong shake of the tower occurred again while the monks were discussing what happened. This time it was more severe than the first…

Master Tue-Zhang: "We can't let this continue! We must stop it otherwise the Tower of Fighting Manuals would be crumbling down…"

Master Tue-Zhang asked one of the young monks to get other Elders to come to the tower, so they could help stop the incident…

"Argh!"

Zheng-Fu was still in pain and moved in agony within the Tower of Fighting Manuals. He did not feel normal because he was feeling hot and cold at the same time. It was like his energy range would explode at any minute. It was all because of the volatility of his energy from within…

"What's going on!? How come this pain is happening to me? It was like my energy was all of a sudden stirred…

Zheng-Fu continued to calm the volatility down without resting. He thought that if he was not completely vigilant about his condition, his energy range would explode…

Back to Zheng-Fu's room…

Everyone could only stand there and look at Zheng-Fu with utmost concern but was unable to help him. They all got bounced back every time they approached him. Even Sue-Wu could not help…

"Sob, sob!"

Tang-Ling could not withhold tears any longer after seeing that Zheng-Fu had not stopped being in agony. She was now crying out loud…

"My little Zheng-Fu!"

Kong-Shi also could not do anything. He still felt that he had only himself to blame. He was supposed to help Zheng-Fu because he was his father…

"Argh!"

Whoosh!

The volatile energy within Zheng-Fu's body continued to circulate. His yin clashed with his yang to try to suppress one another. While Zheng-Fu was feeling extremely agonizing, he could hear a calm, soft, and familiar voice ringing…

"If you can't suppress it, just empty it!"

"Wh…wh…who's that!?"

The voice continued to echo in Zheng-Fu's mind. He was trying to look around to see where the voice came from. But there was no one in the Tower of Fighting Manuals at the moment. The rest of the Shaolin monks who were there had run outside…

Zheng-Fu wondered where the mysterious voice was from. The voice kept repeating the same thing…

"If I can't suppress it, I should empty it?" Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows with curiosity about what he heard…

He started to try to understand what the message meant. However, the pain reduced his ability to contemplate…

"That's it! I just have to not force it!" Zheng-Fu said while putting his hand on his stomach before pressing it on his Qi energy center…

"Argh!"

Boom!

Zheng-Fu all of a sudden understood what the message meant. He knew now how to deal with the volatility in his qi energy range. If he emptied his energy range, he would have no energy, then the volatility would not be able to occur…

Zheng-Fu had decided to drain out his energy. If he got rid of his energy, he would turn back to being a regular boy. However, the thought made sense for the situation that he was in right now. It was better to live without a martial arts power than to die with all the energy in him. After all, he could still live to practice again…

After Zheng-Fu started to let go of his energy in the energy range, the pain started to recede gradually. The hot and coldness within him also started to disappear…

Zheng-Fu's face began to look healthier. The cold sweat on his forehead also dried out…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu had now lost all his Qi energy in his energy range. His energy wave started to subside. The Tower of Fighting Manuals began to stop shaking. It made the young monks and the elderly monks confused and curious…

As the Shaolin monks were about to try to stop the shake, things got back to normal as if nothing had ever happened…

The people in Zheng-Fu's room had this calm facial expression when they looked at Zheng-Fu because he had stopped moving in pain. They did not know what happened to him. But all they knew was they could not feel Zheng-Fu's energy anymore…

"Young master!"

When Tong-Kuang and the group saw that Zheng-Fu had calmed down, they went closer to Zheng-Fu to monitor him. Kong-Shi and Tang-Ling also did. They saw that Zheng-Fu's face was pale with a lot of sweat on his forehead…

Even though Zheng-Fu stopped moving in agony, the people in his room did not feel at peace at all. That was because they could not detect Zheng-Fu's energy level. They suspected that Zheng-Fu's inner explosion and the energy wave that was pushed out from him a minute ago were the results of the demolition of his energy range…

Whoosh!

Zheng-Fu was still in a mediating position in the Tower of Fighting Manuals. He breathed in and out with extreme exhaustion. Even though he did not know where he was, he still had all sense of perception, so he could feel everything. He just did not feel hungry or sleepy…

However, since he had no Qi energy left in him, he started to feel hungry. Not only that, but he also felt sleepy all of a sudden. He was so drained that he could hardly lift his arm…

Bang!

All of a sudden, the door of the tower was being broken open. The Elders of Shaolin Monastery came in. They were all in the prepared position to fight. Then they started to walk in slowly while looking right and left to check the place…

An Elder of Shaolin Monastery: "Let's split and check. If anyone sees something strange, don't do anything. Just come and let us know!"

"I see!"

Then the group split up and walked around the first floor before going to the second floor…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Zheng-Fu crinkled his eyebrows instantly to see all those elderly monks because he had no more energy left in him. He wondered if they could see him…

"What should I do? I don't have any energy left!" Zheng-Fu looked at those elderly monks who were walking in, closer and closer to him…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Finally, the elderly monks gathered in front of the stairs to the second floor. They were a few paces away from Zheng-Fu. Even though they came closer to Zheng-Fu, they still could not see him…

It made Zheng-Fu relieved. He gave out a long exhale feeling less intense. He thought, at least the elderly monks could not see him…

Master Tue-Zhang: "Do you guys see anything strange?"

Master Tue-Zhang broke off the silence by asking everyone whether they encountered something wrong. Everyone shook their heads showing that they did not see anything strange. They only saw scrolls of fighting manuals…

Master Tue-Zhang: "Then let's move to the second floor!"

"Let's go!"

And then all of a sudden, that mysterious familiar voice started in Zheng-Fu's head again…

"Things in the world happen as they are bound to happen. Even though a well is empty today, it will be filled up again in the future!"

"Even though a well is empty today, it will be filled up again in the future?" Zheng-Fu was curious when he heard this mysterious voice. He did according to the voice, so he could get out of that pain. However, he must trade with all of his Qi energy…

From the eighth level of the Foundation Building stage, he was now back to the first level. He thought it was worth it though to let go of all his energy. It was much better than risking an explosion of his energy range. If that happened, he would not be any different from a disabled person…

He could go back to practice and cultivate Qi energy in the future. He could come back to be as strong as before…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

The first elderly monk started to walk toward the stairs to the second floor. Zheng-Fu did not have any energy left to move, so he just sat there and let the monk walk through him. He could only look at the monk…

Whoosh!

"Argh!"

As the elderly monk touched Zheng-Fu, he screamed out loudly. He got shaken. His eyes could not function as normal and they started to turn all white…

Some kind of energy was being transferred to Zheng-Fu slowly. He could feel that the energy was different from the Qi energy. This energy was warm and spreading through Zheng-Fu's body. It was full of strength…

"Argh!"

"Wh…wh…what happened!?"

The other elderly monks who were behind that monk saw the monk act strangely, so they rushed to check him…

Grab!

As soon as one of the monks touched that elderly monk, he started to act strangely like him while letting out uncontrollable noise. Both of their energy was being drained…

Master Tue-Zhang: "What's going on? What's wrong with the two?"

Master Tue-Zhang asked with a serious face, but no one could give him an answer. The bodies of the two monks just shook crazily. They both let out weird noises…

The energy that was being transferred to Zheng-Fu helped him break through energy levels quickly. This energy was not the same as the Qi energy at all because it had no aura or light with it. The energy was completely natural and pure…

Not only that, but he also gained new movements from the two monks.

Zheng-Fu now looked at the two elderly monks who were shaken with truly bad facial expressions. He started to crinkle his eyebrows because he was shocked to see that. Since Zheng-Fu gained back his energy and strength, he quickly moved away from the two monks…

"Argh!"

When Zheng-Fu stepped away from the two elderly monks, the monks fell down and went unconscious. They seemed to be weak. Master Tue-Zhang and the rest looked at one another being bedazzled…

They did not know what happened to the two elderly monks who fell on the ground. The two monks got completely drained and just passed out…

Another elderly monk: "What happened to them?"

The monk said while rushing to help the two immediately. But then Master Tue-Zhang had to stop him…

Master Tue-Zhang: "Stop! I think it was unusual that they started to shake and made weird noises. Then they just passed out!"

When that elderly monk heard Master Tue-Zhang, he did not dare to help the two monks on the floor because he also thought that what happened to the two monks was strange too…

The Tower Master: "What are we going to do with the two then? If they are not being hospitalized right away, we might lose them!"

Master Tue-Zhang: "I'll have a look at them. You guys wait here!"

When Master Tue-Zhang finished his sentence, he started to walk up to the two monks carefully and slowly…
