Bang!
The Tri-point Double-edged Saber smashed onto the protective shield and let out an earth-shattering sound right at
that moment as the entire valley rumbled along with it.
The protective shield instantly shattered under the explosive sound, but Darryl within it was completely fine!
Only a few could technically block Yang Jian’s attack as he was one of the most powerful cultivators among the Nine
Mainland after all. However, his attack had weakened because he had depleted much of his internal energy. Rama
was a Buddhist monk with an extremely thick force of internal energy, so he naturally would be able to block the
attack.
Wow!
Everyone there was instantly in an uproar and a daze upon seeing Rama. They were so shocked that they were
speechless.
‘W-who is this monk? How is he able to block Yang Jian’s attack?’
Temple of Enchanted Retreat at the Chaotic Mountain Range’s monks rarely appeared in the Nine Mainland, so no
one there knew who Rama was or where he came from.
“Woo!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDarryl was also stunned. He looked at Rama confusedly, surprised, and delighted at the same time.
‘Who is he? He has such a strong internal force and managed to block Yang Jian’s attack…’
He did not look like he was from the Shaolin Sect from the style of his monk robe. In addition, Darryl had never
heard of someone that powerful existed in the Shaolin Sect.
Shaolin’s Sect Master Endless and the other Shaolin disciples frowned hard and started to wonder whilst everyone
was confused and shocked.
‘Hmm?’
At that moment, Yang Jian frowned hard and looked at Rama closely with an extremely ugly expression.
‘Where did this monk come from? He may look normal, but his power is strong.’
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Right when everyone was secretly guessing who Rama was, sounds of footsteps came from the woods nearby
before a young monk soon appeared in front of everyone with an ancient staff in his hands.
It was Donoghue whose dharma name was Vikara.
At that moment, Donoghue was in a novice monk’s robe with a bald shaved head and the nine ordination scars on
his head obviously displayed. His handsome face was indifferent with no whatsoever emotions shown!
The staff in Donoghue’s hands was Rama’s weapon called the Bodhidharma’s Staff. It was once used by
Bodhidharma and had been passed down in the Temple of Enchanted Retreat for a few thousand years which had
always been the symbol of the Sect Master of the Temple of Enchanted Retreat.
Buddhism was about cultivating the mind’s Zen and being kind first, so Rama never simply used the Bodhidharma’s
Staff and made his disciple, Donoghue to hold it for him.
Swoosh!
Everyone looked at Donoghue when he appeared.
Of course, most were looking at the staff in his hands with few even noticing Donoghue. Donoghue’s looks and aura
had a radical change ever since he had shaved his head and became a monk. He was completely different from
before. At that moment, none of those who previously knew him could recognize him at all—whether it was Darryl
or the others.
Donoghue was not bothered with their stares and immediately walked to Rama.
“Master!”
Donoghue passed the staff to him upon reaching Rama and said in a respectful tone, “Can you give me a heads up
next time when you’re about to attack? I can’t catch up with you.”
His tone was filled with displeasure but not disrespectful.
For the past few days, Rama often recounted Buddhist teachings and tried to dissolve the evil thoughts in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDonoghue’s heart. It was a pain in the butt for Donoghue. However, he dare not act recklessly upon recalling how
powerful Rama was.
Hmm!
Rama nodded and retrieved the staff from Donoghue.
He then turned his head and looked at Darryl with a smile and said, “My fellow almsgiver, are you alright?”
Darryl shook his head and gratefully said, “Master, thank you for your help. May I ask…”
Yang Jian interrupted before he could finish.
“The Bodhidharma’s Staff?” Yang Jian looked at the staff in Rama’s hand and could not hide the shock in his heart.
He opened his mouth and said, “Who are you and how are you related to the Buddhist Sect’s Bodhidharma?”
Yang Jian was extremely knowledgeable as the respectable Grandmaster Erlang who had lived thousands of years.
He could immediately recognize the staff in the monk’s hand to be the Bodhidharma’s Staff belonging to the
Buddhist Sect.
Gonggong, Zhurong, the Divine Farmer, and the others were also looking at Rama closely—secretly stunned.
Yes, they were also figures who had lived for thousands of years, so they also recognized it.
‘What?’
Everyone was in an uproar upon his words.
‘Bodhidharma?’
‘Who is this monk and what does he have to do with Bodhidharma?’
