Chapter 160: Chapter 159

A little bit earlier in a location between Spirit Spring City and Jade Grass City.

Thunder boomed and the clouds parted as some passerby's trembled in their boots. No one had enough time to react, the moment they heard the loud sound the being in the clouds was already gone. The only thing indicating that someone was even there was the straight path in the sky followed by hurricane-like winds. This was, of course, Zhang Dong racing towards his destination.

'I'm only halfway there, they seem to be holding up though.' 

Matt had his disciple window out and was looking at Zhang Liu's status. The protective measures that the system put on the youth were still there and they hadn't gone down much since he took off. This was letting him know that whoever triggered that mark to activate wasn't able to follow up afterward.

'Why did they stop though? Did someone get involved and protected the boy?'

Matt wasn't sure about the reason, maybe the whole thing was some kind of misunderstanding and his disciple only got critically wounded during this so-called Dao festival. It was in Dark Palm Sect territory, so he could very well be showing his hand too early. Revealing that he was a nascent soul cultivator brought with it various problems.

Before he could reorganize his thoughts on the off chance that it was some kind of misunderstanding, the disciple window blinked. The mark's energy level started going down going to a bit over 50% in a matter of seconds. Something had to be happening there, how could this defensive measure drop down from being almost fully charged to half.

'It should be able to tank hits from core formation experts at the great circle level... are there many people of that level piling up on him or something?'

Matt's palms started sweating profusely after he thought about the other option that was more realistic.

'There is someone at my level there...'

It didn't take long for the system screen to glow red once more and the protective technique to go down to just 10% of its maximum charge. 

'I'm nowhere near that city... what's happening there?'

He started panicking, he was already burning through this spiritual energy to fly at an alarming speed. It would take him about thirty minutes to get there, this was an amount of time in which anything could happen to his clan members or allies. While his mind was getting overtaken by dread the energy counter went down to zero and his screen went red once more.

'God damn is there nothing I can do.'

He racked his brain for an answer, this system sometimes showed him new ways to use it if he only thought of a feasible way. 

'Could there be something that I could have missed?'

The system did update slightly after he reached the nascent soul level, it even came with one big handy new feature.

'Maybe there will be an option that relates to that?'

He quickly went through his disciple window trying to find the answer, he even stopped flying so fast so that he could concentrate. He was rapidly clicking through the options and going through sliders to see if something new popped up.

'Sharing spiritual energy...'

'Transfering knowledge...'

'Affection levels, devotion levels...'

'Defensive measures...'

'Other...'

'Special feature tab...'

'There it is!'

There was an actual 'Fast Travel' tab that brought him over to a new section of his disciple window. Some of the options were grayed out, but the ones that he could bring up gave him various ways of traveling to his disciples.
