Reborn Into The Metaverse Martial Arts Game
Chapter 23: There are no clues

“Che-Chen Li!!” chu Ehuang's soul cried out while crying seeing Chen Li being possessed by black Qi and screaming in pain.

Chen Li's body flew up because it was possessed by that black Qi. The black Qi to the point of covering Chen Li's body. His limbs were nowhere to be seen in the slightest as an extremely dense black Qi covered Chen Li while screaming in pain.

“Aaaah!!”

“Sick..”

Chen Li's voice gradually began to disappear, leaving behind a black Qi.

......................

After a while. The black Qi had completely penetrated Chen Li's body without the slightest remnant.

Chen Li who was previously flying, slowly started to descend downwards. He fainted because of the black Qi that had penetrated his body. The wounds on the outside and inside had also recovered completely.

[Dig!]

[The proficiency level of the Darkness domain technique began to increase... 3%T%... 11%... 18%... 25%T%... 32%T%... 40%... 48%.].

[Darkness domain technique proficiency level has reached 48%]

[Advanced darkness domain technique has opened, Level 1: Shadow of death]

“Chen Li are you still alive... Huhu..” cried Chu Ehuang's soul while raising Chen Li's head and putting it on his lap. He could hold onto Chen Li because Chen Li was the heir to the darkness domain technique, and other than the heir to the darkness domain technique no one would be able to see him or touch him.

Chu Ehuang's soul stopped crying as it saw Chen Li was still breathing. He was relieved that Chen Li was still alive. Because he only had Chen Li the only one in this world.

......................

A few moments later.

Chen Li slowly began to open his eyes. The first time he saw was the face of Chu Ehuang's soul, because Chen Li was in his lap the soul of Chu Ehuang.

“Am I still alive..” said Chen Li.

“Yes, you are still alive,” soul said Chu Ehuang.

“………”

“Looks like I'm not dead.” Chen Li said jokingly.

“Yes, you're not so-Fuck shit! You worry me, I think you will die!” said Chu Ehuang's soul while furiously to Chen Li.

“Eh, ah, ma-sorry,” Chen Li apologized to Chu Ehuang's soul for making him worry.

“Thank God. I thought you were really going to die, huhuhu.” Chu Ehuang's soul tears flowed out of gratitude Chen Li was still alive.

Chen Li got up from the lap of Chu Ehuang's soul to sit down so that he could understand what had happened to him. He then asked Chu Ehuang's soul what the black Qi had done to him.

Because Chen Li did not feel any feelings other than his increasing strength. He also did not realize that the proficiency level of the darkness domain technique had reached 48%.

“What happened to me when possessed by black Qi?” chen Li asked Chu Ehuang's soul because he was the only one who witnessed what had happened to him.

“Em... When you were possessed by that black Qi, you flew and were in pain. Even your body was to the point of not being seen anymore due to the extremely dense black Qi. The black Qi penetrated your body until there was not the slightest bit left. After that you go downstairs and.”.

“And what?" chen Li asked out of curiosity.

“...And your wound has suddenly healed,” replied Chu Ehuang's soul.

“Only that?” Chen Li asked again.

“Ya,” replied Chu Ehuang's soul briefly.

Chen Li was still thinking about the black Qi that possessed him. But he did not find any answer, because there was nothing strange about him, unless he grew stronger.

‘What happened to me..’ thought Chen Li.

Chen Li then looked at the stone that had previously emitted black and white Qi. This time the stone only emitted white Qi.

The white qi also grew increasingly concentrated, starting to approach Chen Li and possess his body as well. However, Chen Li did not feel any pain, even he was still conscious.

“Eh, uh. Chen Li are you okay?" asked Chu Ehuang's soul who was panicking because Chen Li was possessed by the white Qi.

“I'm fine. It doesn't hurt at all!” answer Chen Li.

The white Qi continuously possessed Chen Li until there was not the slightest bit left.

......................

“While the black and white Qi that permeates my body is very strong!”

“Typically something must have happened..”

“Did nothing happen to your body, Chen Li?” ask Chu Ehuang's soul.

“No,” Chen Li replied briefly.

Chen Li was confused by what happened. Only the black Qi made itself stronger, while the white Qi did not give any effect.

Because Chen Li felt that there were some strange things. He stood up and walked over to the stone that had previously emitted black and white Qi.

Chen Li touched, lifted and surrounded the stone. But nothing happened to the stone, even the stone was the same as the stone in general.

“This is really very strange and confusing!”

“Yes, you are right. Wasn't this stone before very strong. But why now this stone does not respond to anything. Same as regular stone.”

Chen Li and Chu Ehuang's soul were still waiting and paying attention to the stone, he had thought that something might happen. But after 1 hour he waited, nothing happened. The stone remained as usual.

“Aah! What exactly is that black and white Qi doing to my body!” said Chen Li while being annoyed at the black and white Qi that had possessed him.

“Because nothing happens anymore. Should we get out of Goa?” ask Chu Ehuang's soul.

“Ya, let's go out!” chen Li said while annoyed.

Since Chen Li was upset, he then turned around to leave from within this cave. After a few steps, he remembered his Quest which was still unfinished.

This was a high-level Quest where the rewards were enormous. Even the technique on the reward was still not revealed, which made Chen Li even more eager to complete the Quest.

Chen Li still had not completed the first requirement of searching for what that person had left behind. He kept searching inside this cave, and ended up finding nothing. He also found no clue as to what that person had left behind.

Only one clue he had found, that was a stone with black and white Qi. But after the black and white Qi possessed Chen Li, the stone did not bring out any strange things anymore, just like before.

“In this cave, only this rock is weird. Other than this stone there was nothing strange. Let alone that dead man, he entered this cave there must be something.”.

“Oh yes, that man!" Chen Li turned to the dead man.

“Hm? What happened to the dead man?” asked Chu Ehuang's curious soul.

“Isn't he the first to discover this cave. So maybe he has some pointers,” Chen Li replied.

“H... Right also yes,” soul said Chu Ehuang.

Chen Li walked towards the dead man. Chu Ehuang's soul followed him as it swayed from behind Chen Li.

The man was lying on the ground while covered in blood on his body. His sword was still in his right hand where it only had the handle left.

“Ugh..” Chen Li looked at the man who was dead and covered in blood feeling like he wanted to vomit.

Chen Li had never expected that such an ambitious, courageous and spirited man would die so horribly. Chen Li was lucky that he was still alive thanks to the black Qi that did not attack him. However, he also did not know whether the black and white Qi that possessed his body was a blessing or a curse.

Therefore, Chen Li had to complete his Quest to uncover about the black and white Qi that seemed to be related to the Quest he was running.

Chen Li searched the dead man. However, he did not find anything on the man.

“This man is very strong. But he didn't bring anything. Is there really no clue whatsoever.” Chen Li said with annoyance.

“It looks like only that black and white Qi is only here. We better go out than waste time in this cave!” said Chu Ehuang's soul. He did not know about Quest Chen Li because he was merely an NPC.

‘Do you really have to go, and leave this Quest?’ thought Chen Li.

‘No. This is a Quest I don't know about, so I have to complete it!’

Chen Li searched around the cave again to find clues. However, the result was still the same, he did not find any clues.

After a while, suddenly there was a voice echoing in Goa.

“………”

“Hm? What is a boy doing here..” said the voice. That voice is the voice of a woman.

“Wait... Why, Why... can...,” the voice was so angry that his goanya almost collapsed. His shaking trembled like an earthquake, even the ground and rocks stuck above began to fall.
