Chapter 390: What is Nu Pu?
“Time is different between here and the world I was from.”
Seeing that others didn’t understand, Ye Zhongming continued, “Simply put, time flows differently. It is slower here than in my other world.”
He turned towards the couple.
“You said that half a year had passed here. But do you know? When I just entered the Secret Realm, it was only three months since the Blue Bay Battle Squad entered here.”
They were in disbelief. Such things only happened in stories, and it happened to them.
Time? Dimension?
All sorts of terms and concepts appeared in their minds.
Ye Zhongming had suspicions regarding this. He didn’t think about the time flow being different. After all, they lived in ‘time,’ and it was hard to feel the difference.
But he received Red Hair’s message and was very certain from these fragments.
Time was two times faster on Earth than here!
Ye Zhongming didn’t know the exact reason as that was down to scientists.
When he left Cloud Peak, he knew his helpers could last a few months. But who knew that time here was slow? The few months he spent here was half a year on Earth. Those enemies were already ready to attack Cloud Peak.
So he had to get back!
Although the time difference caught him off guard, on the contrary, it gave him enough time to get back. At that time, the strength he could bring back would be far more than he had shown here.
He was confident.
Seeing the young man make his final choice, the few leaders could only accept the reality. They read the plan that he left, and they felt that it made sense.
Grey Mountain and Mountain Bank left to prepare. Ah Tao called Ye Zhongming to his tent and also called another race elder. They explained to him their experience of cultivating the Scorching Flame Technique.
This old man was the one who knew most about the technique.
Ye Zhongming and this old man discussed the technique for a full day. At first, the old man is teaching Ye Zhongming, but after that, they learn from each other.
For some reason, Ye Zhongming was very talented in learning this world’s techniques. But in the end, they had more time and understanding of it. They had many experiences and tricks that he could borrow.
When this old man left, Ye Zhongming spent two more days cultivating. When he woke up, he realized that he was different.
Without the evolution potion, naturally, he wouldn’t evolve. But after all, he was a six-star evolved in his last life, and he knew what six-star evolved felt like.
He had broken through to the so-called Scorching Weapon Realm when he woke! He could enchant this red light on his weapon to increase its strength!
Moreover, the feeling in his body told him he had more than five-star strength!
Did he improve without a potion?
Ye Zhongming tested it out and was sure he had more than five-star strength.
He cultivated a technique and improved by half a level. How long did that take? If he continued to cultivate, he would get stronger?
Ye Zhongming imagined the possibilities.
As Ye Zhongming used modified potions, he had close to five-star strength. Now, he had 5.5-star strength and was close to six-star.
Ye Zhongming was more confident in his journey to the Imperial City.
Blue Secret Realm’s weather was weird. It was still warm an hour ago but felt cold after an hour. This was the sign of winter. Based on the experience of the Posthumous race old man, the continent would be covered in frost in just ten days.
Ye Zhongming was prepared. He would head out tomorrow; tonight would be his last day here.
He handed those Iron Zombies to the couple. They weren’t leaving with him as the Imperial City was too dangerous. Even Ye Zhongming was not confident, so it was better if they didn’t take the risk.
He told the few leaders something before he headed back to rest. The moment he entered, he saw Miya hugging her knees.
Ye Zhongming’s eyes moved. She thought about her weird actions and felt he would know the answer today.
“Not every Posthumous tribe has Nu Pu.”
Miya didn’t look at him. She lowered her head like she was talking to herself.
Ye Zhongming sat next to her.
“When every Posthumous person is born, they would be tested, and only some girls will be called Nu Pu.”
Ye Zhongming knew this place was special, and having special things wasn’t weird for them.
“I am lucky to become Nu Pu. When I was born, the race protected me.” Miya looked at Ye Zhongming.
“Do you know that I snuck out when you captured me? I am not allowed to hunt alone.”
Ye Zhongming didn’t know. He had never heard of such things before.
“Who knew that you would bring me back.”
The two of them laughed; things were awkward at the start.
Miya kept silent and did something surprising. She hugged him. Her chest pressed on his back.
“Miya, you…”
“Let me finish!”
She got emotional.
“Do you know why, even when the tribe was about to collapse, they still protected me? I am a Nu Pu, a woman they can trade me for life.”
His shoulder was wet. It was from her tears.
“The first blood of a Nu Pu can increase the strength of someone who cultivates!”
