Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Suddenly, Leon's eyes narrowed. He felt a terrifying pressure approaching his direction at high speed.

And in just a blink of an eye, the monster with thousands of tentacles floating around in the air appeared in front of Leon.

Before Leon had the chance to react, his body was engulfed by thousands of tentacles and disappeared.

The monster didn't stop after taking care of Leon. The monster's body once again flashed and he disappeared.

At the same time, David was running for his life. He had no idea how strong a cultivator was in the foundation establishment realm, and he had no intention of finding it out today.

While running, he made a mental note of testing Origin Guard power once he got back.

With every step David took, his body covered a large distance, he was like a purple thunderbolt dancing through the Deadwood Forest.

The Deadwood forest was lit up with purple light.

Every fiber of David's being was pushed to its limits.

David felt he could run like this forever. The mana that he was consuming was rapidly recovering with the help of the Purple Thunder technique.

Suddenly, David felt his scalp tingle.

Without hesitating, he sidestepped.

Swish!

Thousands of tentacles like missiles fell on the place where David was standing a moment ago.

"Come at me, you bastard."

"You think I am afraid of you."

David looked around him to find where the monster was and shouted.

Behind him the monster was silently floating in the air.

David took a deep breath and tried to calm his raging heart.

This was going to be his first fight with a cultivator, and someone of higher level at that.

Moreover, he was at a disadvantage. The monster was flying in the air, while he was on the ground.

David couldn't understand what the monster was waiting for. He raised his hand, and a chair appeared out of nowhere.

Even the monster was confused by the sudden appearance of the chair, not understanding what the ant in front of him was trying to achieve.

"Haaaaa!"

David shouted and pushed his body backwards while firmly planting his legs on the ground.

His torso formed an angle of ninety degrees at his knees. Just as the chair was about to touch the ground, the veins on David's hand bulged, mustering as much strength as possible as he threw the chair in the direction of the monster.

After a flash of purple thunder the chair left David's hands at insane speed.

However, the monster easily intercepted the chair, his tentacles caught the chair before it could even reach him.

Even for the monster, the force was too great; he was pushed a couple of meters back in the air.

And if you looked closely, the tentacles which had caught the chair appeared somewhat burned by the purple thunder.

The force generated was too much for David's body to handle, because of inertia his body was pushed to the ground.

However, it was all for naught, David looked at the monster, who easily stopped his attack.

It was at this moment that David realized, he was fucked.

He hurriedly tried to get up and run as fast as possible.

However, this time the monster wasn't in a mood to play with him.

Like a demon from hell the monster suddenly appeared in front of him.

One of its tentacles moved towards David's throat at high speed and grabbed it.

David felt like his neck was crushed, the tentacles were like an iron chain that wrapped around his throat.

David struggled to breathe and mustered all his strength to kick the monster in an attempt to free himself.

But all of his efforts were in vain, the monster was completely unaffected by David's actions.

David started feeling regretful. If he had invested all his money on Emilia that day, he might have been at the Foundation Building Realm today, and his fate wouldn't be as miserable.

However, there was no medicine for regret.

Thankfully for David, the monster had no intention of killing him; otherwise, if he wanted, killing him would be as simple as crushing an ant.

The monster suddenly disappeared along with David.

In a dark hall, Rick suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Old Third, you are finally back."

"How many did you manage to catch this time?"

Suddenly a voice echoed in the hall, it was hard to determine where it was coming from.

The voice was somewhat hopeful.

Hearing the voice, Rick, who had been called Old Third, calmly raised three fingers in the air.

"Only three."

"Why? Last time there were ten." This time the voice was a little furious.

Rick didn't react to his words, and sat down on the ground and closed his eyes.

"Calm down, old Second, it was to be expected."

"But…" Old Second wanted to speak, but he was cut midway by another voice, which sounded slightly mature.

"No buts, we have already discussed this."

If the old Second voice was like a teenager then the new voice sounded like a fully grown human adult.

White ground!

White sky!

David's unconscious body was lying on the white ground as far as eyes could see. Beside him were Leon and Sophie. Similar to David, the eyes of both were closed.

Time continued to pass.

Hours.

Days.

Or years.

Time continued to pass.

After who knew how long, David's eyelids finally started to twitch.

He groggily opened his eyes. The first thing he felt was his throat was a little too dry, and he was hungry as if he hadn't eaten anything for a long period of time.

And keep that in mind, he was feeling all these sensations, when he didn't need to eat for a long period of time.

"Who the fuck turned on the bright mode?"

David cursed in a sleepy voice. The complete whiteness and absence of any other color was making him uncomfortable.

"Who the fuck.."

"Who the fuck.."

However, there was no response to his words; only the echo of his voice echoed in the place repeatedly.
