Chapter 90: Great Shelled Silver Beetle
Ning sat around thinking. 'I have been gathering energy for a few months now. How long more do I have to go?' he wondered. For the first time in a while, he opened his status.

'Woah, that's a lot. Damn, and I am still only halfway done with it? Should I just go to sleep or what?' he wondered. 'Nah, then I can't cultivate my body, can I?'
"Cmon, Night, let's go. I want to find a brother for you," Ning said. Once Night was perched upon his shoulder, he stood up and walked deeper into the forest.
There were many disciples from his own sect there as well. Some greeted him, some ignored him and walked their own way. Ning didn't find anything suitable around here so he walked in deeper into the forest.
SWISH
Suddenly, an arrow came flying towards Ning. Night suddenly left his shoulders and flew out to catch the arrow. "Thanks, Night," he said as he took the arrow back and looked at it.
'Hmm, who attacked me?' he wondered as he looked to the side the arrow came from. He couldn't see anything, but he could hear a sort of ZMMM sound coming from there. Almost as if something was making a buzzing sound.
Soon a dark silhouette appeared to the distance that slowly enlarged as it came closer to him. 'A… beetle?' he thought as he looked at the shape of the incoming beast.
Another arrow appeared from past the beetle directly towards Ning. This time, he simply caught it with telekinesis and didn't need to have Night do it for him.
'Who is sending arrows at the beetle?' he thought as he watched the beetle come closer. The closer the beetle came, the more Ning's eyes started to shine.
"A Great Shelled Silver Beetle?" he said in surprise. The incoming beetle was one of the most famous defensive beasts around here. It was also incredibly hard to find. The fact that he could even see it in front of him was already amazing.
A Great Shelled Silver Beetle wasn't that high in the rankings. In fact, it was average at best. But that was only considering the fact that it had a very weak attack power and wasn't very fast.
Even if it was average in those two aspects, it would probably rank higher than Night in the rankings.
Another arrow flew out from behind the beetle. However, this time the arrow actually managed to hit the beetle. It seemed the purpose of the arrows wasn't to hurt the beetle, but rather tire it until it couldn't fly anymore and was still enough to be tamed.
The beetle was now at that state. No longer able to fly, it fell to the ground right in front of Ning. Ning dodged to the side as the heavy beetle slid past him until it hit a tree and stopped.
"It's down, young master," somebody said from behind Ning.
"There's someone here," another person spoke.
"Hey kid, leave the place. We are going to tame the beast now, " A bunch of people appeared. Ning didn't want to, however, seeing the many people, he decided to leave.
"Wait!" A voice came, quite young by the sound of it. And to make matter worse, Ning recognized it.
"Sh*t," he said lightly and turned back to see Yacius looking at him with an evil grin on his face.
"Haha, It's been a while brother. I haven't seen you since you beat me in the arena the first time," Yacius said.
"H- Hey, what's up?" Ning tried to be friendly. "Actually, I got something going on nearby, I will leave you guys for now," Ning said and was about to leave.
"No, you don't. Surround him," Yacius said. Suddenly, the 6 men around Yacius fanned out and surrounded Ning from the different sides.
Ning quietly looked around him trying to judge their strength.
'Sh*t, this is going to be a tough battle, if I let it get to that,' he thought.
"Why don't we talk this through, brother?" Ning said while checking their strength. Yacius was surprisingly at the 5th Qi Condensation realm. 4 of the other guys were at the 6th Qi Condensation realm, and surprisingly the last 2 were at the 7th Qi Condensation realm.
"You want to talk? Hahaha, why don't you talk with yourself? You are quite good at that, aren't you?" Yacius said.
'Damn, should I teleport out of here? But that would mean I would have to give away my abilities here, and I don't want to do that. Also, I don't want to use up my energy here. Besides,…' he thought as he looked around.
'I really want to see how strong I am,' he thought.
Night was ready to fight as well. He was in an attacking stance, ready to fly away the moment Ning gave the orders. But, Ning knew that there were too many opponents for Night alone, and there was no way he could fight against the 6th and 7th Qi Condensation realm.
"I know you want to help me buddy, but it is really dangerous if you stay out here. Come back in," he said as he put Night back into the beast pouch.
"Hahaha, you already knew that I was doing this for your beast huh? Alright, since you know it, hand it over?" Yacius gestured towards the beast pouch.
'What? He didn't stop me for the humiliation he suffered, but Night?' he was surprised. He then looked towards Yacius straight in the eyes, and said, "No."
