C18 Shang(part I)

Time slowly passed by and Loong Xiang and Xiao Bai improved day by day. Loong Xiang had already stabilized his cultivation as a Grade Nine Martial Master. Although he had yet to break through to the Martial Grand Master realm, he was only lacking an opportunity.

It had been one and a half months since Shangguan Kang left. Today, Loong Xiang was hunting in the mountain with Xiao Bai as usual. Today, Wu Steel and Little White's luck seemed to be quite good. As soon as they entered the back mountain, they bumped into a low level Beast Marquis and earth attribute Devil Beast, the Iron Rhinoceros. The Iron Rhinoceros's defense was of an extremely shocking low level Beast Marquis. If some Martial Marquis Realm humans did not use powerful martial skills, they simply could not break through the Iron Rhinoceros' defense. However, the Iron Rhinoceros had a fatal weakness, which was its extremely slow speed. And this kind of Devil Beast was the best sparring partner.

Loong Xiang continued to attack with all kinds of methods, and each time, he was unable to break through the Iron Rhinoceros' defense. Every time the Universe Elemental Energy in Loong Xiang's body ran out, he would replace it with Whitey. After Loong Xiang's Universe Elemental Energy recovered, he switched it with Loong Xiang. After persevering for more than four hours, the Iron Rhinoceros finally exhausted its stamina. He had obtained a Earth Attribute Devil Core.

Generally, Devil Beast who had reached the Beast Marquis Realm would definitely produce Devil Core s, and low level Devil Beast would also have a certain chance of producing Devil Core s. There were only two uses for Devil Core on the continent. One was to train their own companions, and the other was to use them when brewing medicines and Pills. Because humans could absorb Universe Elemental Energy to cultivate, while Devil Core contained natural elements, humans could not directly use Devil Core to raise or recover their strength. On the other hand, the value of low level Devil Core was not that high.

However, because the Devil Core of high level Devil Beast contained an extremely large amount of pure heaven and earth elements, they could be directly absorbed by the Devil Beast to promote the growth of the Devil Beast. There was even a chance for some low level Devil Beast to evolve to a higher level after taking a high level Devil Beast. This made the value of high level Devil Beast quite high.

Although Loong Xiang had only obtained one Earth Type Devil Core, he was very happy because Loong Xiang could feel that his movement technique, reaction speed, and usage time of the Universe Elemental Energy in his body had all made a huge breakthrough. Furthermore, the Martial Grand Master realm that he had never felt before was also touched by him during his battle with the Iron Rhinoceros.

At this moment, Medicinal Saint Cultivator supported the heavily injured Shangguan Kang back into the valley. Shangguan Kang's body was covered in blood and there were more than a dozen bone-deep scratches on his body. There was even a fatal wound on his left chest. From the wound, one could see his slightly beating heart.

"Old man, aren't you being too ruthless? You're forcing that kid to go out and adventure at such a young age." What if that kid can't accept the reality of your death, cannot bear the shock, and suddenly crashes? You have to know, that kid only knew you as a relative from a young age. " Medicinal Saint Cultivator looked at the pale and severely injured Shangguan Kang and said.

"Ahem, there's nothing I can do about it. In the end, eagles have to face the sky by themselves. Only by facing a storm can I truly grow. Only then would I be able to challenge those existences standing at the peak of the continent." We don't have much time left, and that kid Loong Xiang is quite talented. As long as he has enough time, he will definitely become the strongest existence in this world. After saying that, Shangguan Kang coughed out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, an excited Loong Xiang brought Whitey back to the valley. Seeing that the door was open, Loong Xiang knew that his grandfather must have returned. As he walked deeper into the room, he said cheerfully, "Grandfather, you're back." "I've advanced to become a Grade Nine Martial Master. Today, I and Little White …" The voice stopped abruptly. It was clear that Loong Xiang had seen Shangguan Kang's current state.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Don't scare me, Grandfather! " Loong Xiang cried out in grief and hastily jumped onto Shangguan Kang, who was lying on the bed.

Shangguan Kang smiled at Loong Xiang. With difficulty, he reached out his hand to pat Loong Xiang's head and said, "Grandpa may not be able to do it anymore. You have to take good care of yourself in the future." I am very clear of my grandfather's body, and I am afraid there is nothing I can do to save it now. "

"Why is this happening? Weren't you completely prepared? How did it turn out like this? Grandfather, you are the only family I have left. If you leave, what should I do in the future? " Hearing Shangguan Kang's words, Loong Xiang panicked. His usual calmness that far surpassed his peers completely disappeared. It was like he was a child about to lose his family.

Seeing Loong Xiang's heartbroken appearance, Medicinal Saint Cultivator, who was at the side, had a trace of hesitation and reluctance in his eyes. He was unable to bear it and hid himself well. Medicinal Saint Cultivator recounted what happened slowly and patiently.

As expected, the horned Saint Beast was just born. As long as the horned Saint Beast is brought before a pure virgin within seven days when it opens its eyes, and the little horned beast sees her the moment it opens its eyes, it is very likely that the little horned Saint Beast will treat her as its closest person and become her best partner.

Afterwards, things went smoothly. The Turtle Awakening Pill successfully enchanted the Horned Saint Beast, and Shangguan Kang also successfully put the little horned Saint Beast into his own Life Gemstone.

However, the change occurred on the way back to the small valley with Medicinal Saint Cultivator and Shangguan Kang. Shangguan Kang had made a lot of friends while travelling across the continent. Of course, he had offended a lot of people and made a lot of powerful enemies. Without knowing why, his three enemies found out that Shangguan Kang had appeared in the Stars Forest. Someone who could become enemies with Shangguan Kang and live to now must be someone with extraordinary strength. Of these three enemies, two had reached the peak of Martial Lord and one was in the Eighth Rank Martial Lord realm. What made them even more desperate was that these enemies of the three families actually teamed up to deal with Shangguan Kang and the other two.

The battle was one-sided from the start. Fortunately, Medicinal Saint Cultivator had used a powerful Pills at the last moment of the battle, making the poisoned people unable to take care of them and allowing them to escape. Even so, both of them were still injured. As for the name of the powerful Pills, Loong Xiang who was confused did not ask, and Medicinal Saint Cultivator did not seem to intentionally say it.

Medicinal Saint Cultivator and Shangguan Kang, who had just escaped from their enemies' pursuit, were stunned by the wave of fierce attacks before they could even catch their breath. Recovering from their shock, Medicinal Saint Cultivator and Shangguan Kang realized that the two of them had accidentally walked into the territory of a peak fire attribute Beast Sovereign Explosive Flame Drake.

If it was in its prime, the Beast Sovereign Realm Explosive Flame Serpent Dragon would not be worthy of Shangguan Kang and Medicinal Saint Cultivator's attention. Facing the explosive flame flood dragon's attack, the two of them were forced to retreat bit by bit. In order to prevent both of them from dying under the explosive flame flood dragon's claws, Shangguan Kang used the method of exchanging life for injury and finally managed to injure the explosive flame flood dragon while he was being fatally injured. In the end, Medicinal Saint Cultivator also managed to kill the explosive flame flood dragon. Even so, Medicinal Saint Cultivator was once again injured by the final desperate counterattack of the Explosive Flaming Flood Dragon. Medicinal Saint Cultivator used all the Pills in his hands to make Shangguan Kang last until he returned to the valley.

Seeing Shangguan Kang was seriously injured, Loong Xiang pursed his lips, trying hard not to cry. He hated Shangguan Kang and his enemies for joining hands to despicably deal with Shangguan Kang. He hated how the Explosive Flaming Flood Dragon had completely destroyed Shangguan Kang. He also hated how he was unable to help Shangguan Kang due to his weak strength. Drops of blood dripped down from Loong Xiang's tightly clenched fist. In this quiet room, the sound of blood dripping onto the ground could be clearly heard!

At this moment, Shangguan Kang's weak voice sounded. Loong Xiang, good child, people will eventually die. Grandfather has lived for eighty years and has lived enough. Grandfather has experienced everything in his life and has a good grandson like you, so grandfather can leave without any regrets. Don't be sad, after Grandpa leaves, you must work hard to cultivate. Grandfather believes that one day, you will stand at the peak of this world. Loong Xiang, your name was given to you by grandpa. I just hope that you can soar above the nine heavens like an Primordial Divine Dragon. As for your surname, you'll know it after you understand your background. "

"No, Grandfather, my surname is Shangguan, from now on I will be called Shangguan Loong Xiang." I know that you are not my biological grandfather, but I have always regarded you as my biological grandfather. " Loong Xiang knelt in front of Shangguan Kang's bed, trying hard to control his tears from falling down.

Hearing this, Shangguan Kang was touched at first. Loong Xiang could be said to be a child of extreme love. He wasn't sure if it was right or wrong for him to do this. Then he thought again, now Loong Xiang was going to change his name to Shangguan Loong Xiang, if that old fellow found out, wouldn't he be seeking revenge? Thinking about the terror of some old guy, Shangguan Kang could not help but feel a chill down his spine. If something like that really happened, he would be in deep trouble.

"No, no, I have one more thing to ask of you. If you call Shangguan Loong Xiang, you won't be able to help me with this." Unknowingly, his previously weak voice returned to its former high and mighty state. It was just that Loong Xiang, who was in extreme sorrow, did not notice it.

"What is it? Grandpa, just say it. As long as it's something you say, I will promise you. Even if you don't want my life, I will do my best to fulfill your request." Loong Xiang promised Shangguan Kang firmly.

"I don't know if it is just an illusion, but in Shangguan Kang's eyes, Loong Xiang actually saw a trace of a smile on his face, a smile that is extremely strange." "Fine, I want you to promise me that you will find my granddaughter and marry her when you become an adult!"
