Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: The Fallen Noble

As I walk aimlessly at the sidewalk, thoughts swarming in my mind. I, once a noble of this kingdom have fallen so deeply. My family was once a prestigious clan that produces talented warriors and mages, have an immeasurable wealth had been ruined by a simple mistake. I just simply didn't want to get married to the Duke's son due to the rumors that this son so vile, he would rape his own wife or let his cohorts have turns to his woman.

Then he set his eyes on me, a daughter of a count. When I heard his proposal my parents immediately rejected it and due to his displeasure, he commanded his guards to slaughter our household. Men, women, children and even the pets was not spared, I was lucky enough to have escape due to my personal maid and guards protecting me.

I am alone, no food to eat, no water to drink, no relatives to lean on, and no place for me to call home. I want to avenge my parents, i want to avenge everyone! But i don't have the power, the strength, the wealth, and the connection to fight with a Duke. I feel helpless, powerless but I can't just give up. Before my life I end, i want to atleast avenge my parents even just a little!

"Sigh!" The girl sigh after reading the girls last will before the girl died. "Don't worry girl, since I've taken over your body, I will make sure to take revenge for your family." Said by the soul who took over the girls body. The girl stood up and check the body if there is any damage on it. Thankfully, just a few minor wounds that can be healed overtime.

Check where she was, she was in a middle of nowhere. Although she can see the road, there is no town or village insight only endless forest. She look for a spot where she can meditate and after few minutes of looking, she found a big tree with shade and sit crossed legged under the tree shade. Wind blew her hair and light intermittently flicker around her.

After a few hours of meditation, she exhales turbid air and open her eyes "whew! The spirit qi of this world is very thin, though I was able to absorb some of it and was able to breakthrough to the intermediate spirit condensation, I am still far from my peak." The girl sigh and stood up and began to stretch her legs and limbs. After stretching, she disappeared from where she was standing and as she was already far above in the sky. Looking around, she still can't locate any nearest town and hence she decided to take a walk instead inside the forest atleast she will be able to hunt some wild animals while she was there.

As she walks inside the forest, she encounter some wild animals that she hunted for it's meat as well as other parts of the wild beast for her to sell once she was able to make her way to a town. With dusk descending, she decided to set up camp for tonight and continue her walk tomorrow. She meditated beside the bonfire and after a while, she open her eyes and suddenly punch through the air. Bam! Her punch exploded on the air "Perfect! Now I'm at the peak of spirit condensation. Maybe a day or two I can breakthrough to spirit flowing realm."

In terms of Level for cultivators, they have two level systems, one is Spirit Cultivator which using the spirit qi of the world, they would be able to elevate their strength and can use different kinds of spells as they have the ability to convert spirit qi into mana once they reach spirit flowing realm. Although they can convert their spirit qi into mana, they can't do it in reverse that is why there are only few spirit cultivators in this realm. The other leveling system is the Body cultivators, unlike the spirit cultivators who condense their spirit qi in one place which is their what they call spirit palace, the body cultivators uae the spirit qi they condense and spread it through their body to temper their physical form and this level is called Body Condensation realm, followed by Body filling realm and Body transformation realm.

"Once I breakthrough to Spirit Flowing realm, I need to start to cultivate my body just like before." She reminded herself on a serious tone. She clench hia fist "for revenge of this girl and her family and for my revenge as well." She murmured then she skewer some meat of the wild beast the she just hunted earlier and cook it on the camp fire.

At dawn, she continued her journey through the forest looking and hoping for another human to appear to ask for directions but after teavelling for half a day, still no signs of any other person in the forest. She sighed and decide to keep going. While touring in the forest, she would encounter wild beast as well as medicinal plants that she is familiar with and harvest them and after another half day's of work, she was able to harvest a couple of medicinal herbs as well some poisonous herbs that she can use in case she ould encounter a beast that she can't defeat.

Two days have passed and she is still in the forest, she was also able to build a little hut that she can call home for the mean time. She also have some wild beqst meat for food, healing herbs as well as poison powder. With this two days, she was also able to breakthrough to initial Spirit flowing realm hence she started cultivating her body. At this point for her to cultivate her body "with my preparation, I should be able to breakthrough to the intial Body Condensation realm. Nornally I would have my qi flow around my body but that is too slow and not effective with in thai world as the spirit qi is so thin!" She pick up one of the poison powder "But with this poison powder that I made, my progress should shot through the roof." She smeared it all over her body and comes after a painful howl. She gritted her teeth and started to meditate to temper her body.
