C35 To the Earth Star Spring!

The Black Blood Lion's movements were fast. The momentum behind its charge was definitely more than 1,000 pounds. The impact would be so strong that even a ninth-grade cultivator would turn into a meat patty.

After all, this species of demonic beasts boasted an incredible physical body. It was impenetrable to the point that humans could only dream about ever achieving it.

Xiang Shaoyun opened his eyes wide and used the insight skill. He just stared at the Black Blood Lion, his body not moving at all.

The Black Blood Lion opened its gaping maw, aimed it at Xiang Shaoyun's head, and pounced at him.

It was such a terrifying scene that no ordinary man would be able to have dry pants after witnessing it.

In that moment of life and death, Xiang Shaoyun raised his uninjured arm, and energy extended out from the meridians in his arm.

Astral Asunder!

Swoosh!

This jab was much stronger than all the ones he had ever used. It was filled with a ferocious current of pure energy as it dug into the Black Blood Lion's mouth.

Roar!

The Black Blood Lion immediately roared and continued pouncing towards Xiang Shaoyun's position.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun endured the pain and rolled to his side.

The lion missed its target and landed headfirst on the ground. Its mouth was already bleeding due to the Astral Asunder, but now, even his head was injured. Moreover, the lion's internal organs were in complete disarray due to the collision.

"Die!" Xiang Shaoyun raised the heavy sword and charged. Currently, his blade was enveloped by a layer of extended energy, and it went through the lion's neck like butter.

As the knife slashed out, Xiang Shoyun's face contorted in pain. The scabs over his wounds were ripped apart due to the slash.

"We'll eat braised lion meat tonight to replenish our blood!" Xiang Shaoyun laughed.

Amongst inferior demons, the Dark Blood Lion had the thickest blood energy. It was the perfect delicacy for blood and energy replenishment.

Xiang Shaoyun seasoned the meat lightly and lit a fire to cook the meat.

A faint fragrance wafted out, and as if responding to the aroma, the tiger cub took his tongue out.

Soon, the lion's meat was roasted. The baby tiger, who had enough of this waiting, jumped on it.

Meow!

The roasted meat was hot; the baby tiger was unaware and burnt his tongue.

Xiang Shaoyun was amused by this little fellow. "Haha, are you a tiger or a gluttonous pig?" He paused for a second before continuing, "Hmm... Now that you are going to follow me, a proper name is in order. Your fur is mostly white, and you might also have a top-tier demonic beast bloodline. How about Little White? With your white and my black mane, we would be the mightiest black and white duo! Haha!" E/N:-That was by no means a racial connotation. I'm not racist; I hate everyone equally. (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

The newly named Little White cried out in protest. But seconds later, he decided meat was more important and got back to it.

Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate and began to eat.

After a few pounds of meat entered his stomach, Xiang Shaoyun felt as if his body was on fire. He could feel the heat in his body rising. The raw blood energy in his stomach right now was being converted into blood and energy.

"As expected of a Black Blood Lion, its blood energy is truly vigorous. It's a pity that there's no wine; otherwise, it would have been a fest."

After Xiang Shaoyun had his fill, he continued to meditate and cultivate, trying to quickly recuperate from his injuries.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two days, several inferior demons tried to target him. Yet, they all ended in his and Little White's stomach.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun's injuries had already recovered by seventy to eighty percent, and he felt that soon he would be completely healed.

Thus, he brought along Little White and made preparations for the next training session.

He changed his direction and walked towards another mountain ridge. At the foot of the mountain, there was a stone plaque. On it were engraved two words—Mount Tuo!

Initially, Xiang Shaoyun did not ponder over the name. But after walking some steps, something flashed in his mind, and his expression changed. "Mt. Tuo? Isn't this the mountain range with the Earth Star Spring?"

Pondering over it filled Xiang Shaoyun with a surge of emotions.

In the past few days, he had been in the Hundred Beast Mountain and met with danger several times. At every step, he yearned for strength to live through the disaster that was his life.

If he could get his hands on the Earth Star Spring, it would bring a significant boost to his cultivation. Moreover, his other abilities and skills would also experience a jump in their level.

"I wonder if Mei Lianhua and Mo Wuhui have arrived yet?" Xiang Shaoyun asked himself in his heart, then stepped onto Mount Tuo.

Previously, when they left him in a ditch, he felt a little resentful. However, he got over that quickly and was actually excited for the Eart Star Spring now.

In Xiang Shaoyun's mind, the map that Mo Wuhui showed him resurfaced. By following the route on the map, he easily avoided all the powerful demonic beasts.

Even so, along the way, Xiang Shaoyun still encountered some inferior demons. Some of whom even straight up jumped in front of him.

Only due to his improved strength and the Overlord's Nine Nether Steps could he escape from a group of goblins.

After walking like this for three days, he was finally in the inner region of the mountain.

During these three days, Xiang Shaoyun had found some inferior-grade herbs. These were collected due to Little White's exceptional perception. Even herbs that were hidden deep in the ground couldn't escape from his hunt.

Over the days, Xiang Shaoyun had noticed something strange. Little White had eaten a ton of meat and countless herbs, yet he didn't grow a single inch or even had a semblance of strength.

It was common knowledge that younglings grew fast. And if they were fed like Little White, they should grow up at an unreal pace.

Xiang Shaoyun hoped that Little White grew up quickly. After all, he was looking forward to the additional help and an awesome mount.

"According to the route, we'll reach our destination after we cross two more mountains. It will take us about a day and a half!" Xiang Shaoyun stopped to rest.

In the past few days, his eighth grade had consolidated well. Now he could extend his energy to a meter at will. This kind of ability, only a first-grade Astral Force cultivator possessed.

In other words, if he were to encounter a demon of the first grade, he would be able to fight as an equal.

Besides, he had also cultivated the second-grade sword skill, Wolf's Auric Feral Sword, that came from the dead person's bag.

The Wolf's Auric Feral Sword was a top-tier sword skill amongst the other second-grade sword skills. The user could meld their energy with the skill and give birth to a metallic fiend of pure energy. It had a great destructive force behind it.

A second-grade offensive skill, only at Astral Force Stage could one display its power. Being able to project one's energy outwards was one of the preconditions for this skill.

Xiang Shaoyun practiced this for three days, and it was already quite proficient. Being able to extend his energy outwards was one of the reasons for his swift success.

Xiang Shaoyun continued to rush, but before he walked far, he heard a scream for help.

"Help! Help!"

"Hehe, keep on screaming! No one will listen!"

"..."

"That's Mei Lianhua's voice!" Xiang Shaoyun immediately identified and rushed forward.

He hid his aura and observed the dense forest in front of him. Sure enough, he saw that Mei Lianhua was being carried by a few men and was about to be humiliated.

Xiang Shaoyun was infuriated and cautiously walked over, his gaze sharp.

After approaching the offending group, he launched a sudden attack.

"Scum!" Xiang Shaoyun cursed as he slashed his longsword mercilessly.

Puff puff!

Those people were caught off-guard and left the world while filled with lecherous thoughts.

"Who is it!" The rest of the people moved out of the way and shouted in shock.
