Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 170: Hijaka

Ningʼs smile brought small traces of doubt and fear in the two menʼs eyes.

They immediately backed up and looked at each other before looking back towards Ning. They got cautious. ”You are quite crafty arenʼt you? Hiding your ability to strike at the right time,” the man with the green robe said.

”It seems like he is quite strong. why donʼt we work together to defeat him first before we fight amongst ourselves,” the man in the light blue robe asked?

”Sure,” the man in green said. He then turned to the third guy to ask, ”What about y— What the?” he was surprised when he saw the man in red on the ground.

ʼWas he attacked somehow? How did he get there?ʼ he was just thinking that when he heard a voice right next to him.

”Are you sure you can ignore me?” Ning said right next to the manʼs face. At some point, he had appeared right next to the man in green.

The man in blue suddenly swung his sword and set out a slash made up of water towards Ning. The slash was very sharp and it accurately hit Ning.

”Oh, I could feel that one. Nice job,” he said as wiped away the water from his face. The man in blue was stunned. One of the best-known attacks of his sect was useless against the man.

ʼHe is strong,ʼ he thought. He immediately turned around decided to run. There was no way he was winning this fight and decided to use the man in green as a sacrifice to save himself.

”Nope, you donʼt get to go anywhere,” Ning suddenly stopped the man with telekinesis. He was just a bit lighter when compared to Ning, so he was able to stop him.

If it had not worked, Ning wouldʼve used his Qi, but that was the last resort. It usually took a lot more Qi and focus when trying to someone or thing with its own will.

Thankfully, the Telekinesis only needed his mental energy, which he had plenty by now. He pulled the man back towards him with his Telekinesis and simply pointed his spear towards him.

The manʼs mobility was fully stopped by Ning. No matter how much he struggled, he couldnʼt move at all. Even as he reached Ning, he was barely able to turn his head, only to see a sharp blade of a spear pointed right at his face.

Before the blade could touch him, however, yellow energy appeared out of his talisman and he disappeared.

”Thatʼs one,” Ning said.

He turned to look at the man in green who was was terrified out of his mind. ”Sigh, you guys canʼt even put up a brave front. Why do you act like hot stuff and then suddenly canʼt even put up a fight at the next moment? Come on, attack me,” Ning said.

The man couldnʼt believe what was happening. He couldnʼt even lift his sword out of fear.

Ning saw that and didnʼt want to have anything more to do with him. He showed him mercy and directly sent him back outside of the secret realm.

He then turned back to the last person, the man with the red robes. From the very start, this man had shown no aggression.

When the fight had started, however, he had fallen to the ground, with no movement.

”Whatʼs wrong with you? Why do you have your head down?” Ning asked.

The man didnʼt move or do anything. Instead, he simply asked a simple question.

”Is your name Ning?”

Ning was a little surprised. He looked at the manʼs red robe and could guarantee that it was not part of the Red Tiger sect. The colors just didnʼt match.

ʼCould it be that the sect leaders made a secret agreement with another island for better chances in the tournament?ʼ Ning wondered.

”Yes, that is me,” Ning said. ”Who are you?”

The man finally looked up at Ning with a face of awe. ”My name is Hijaka. I am the son of Usalini,” the man said to Ning.

Ning was confused for a second, but hearing the names, a strange feeling appeared in his mind that he wanted to believe but didnʼt want to be disappointed.

”The nephew of the chief and the grandson of the former chief, Hyesi. It is an honor to meet you Inikaka,” Hijaka immediately got into a kneeling position once more and started bowing to him.

Ning was shocked. Even though at some level he had expected this after seeing the manʼs incredibly dark skin for the first time, he was still very shocked.

”You— You are a Klavian? You are Hyesiʼs grandson?” Ning asked in surprise.

”Yes, Inikaka,” Hijaka said

”Haha…” Ning had a blank look but a smile appeared as his face attained a proud look. ”That kid got married huh? Feels like yesterday that he was bullied for being so weak, and look at him now… what did you say? Former chief? He became a chief too huh?”

Hijaka looked at Ning with both reverence and awe.

Ningʼs face suddenly lost all happiness and got solemn all of a sudden.

”Tell me, and be honest. Is he… still alive?” Ning asked. He closed his eyes not able to listen to the possible answer that might come out of the mouth of the person in front of him.

”He is alive and well, Inikaka. He is back in our ancestral lands and is living his life without any worry,” Hijaka said.

”Ha… haha… hahaha, so he is alive huh. He is alive. Who else is alive? Tell me,” Ning asked.

”Umm… nearly everyone is. Thanks to the cultivation techniques and knowledge you left behind, aside from the elderly who couldnʼt cultivate long enough to gain increased life span, everyone else has managed to successfully live till now,” Hijaka said.

Ning grew silent, and out of nowhere a single tear fell down his left cheek.

”Inikaka?” Hijaka got worried.

”Thank god. Thank god theyʼre alive and well. Thank god I will get to meet them again,” Ning screamed to the sky as he started fully crying with tears streaming down his face like a broken dam.
