Chapter 29 - Cultivating Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant

A giant red wolf, nearly two meters tall, entered Ye Yang's line of sight. It was covered in fiery red fur and had a pair of large, fist-sized eyes. It stared at Ye Yang with its mouth wide open. Its ghastly white teeth shone with a cold light.

Ye Yang thought to himself, "My goodness, how could he be so big? In his previous life, an ox wasn't even this big."

He rummaged through his memories and recognized the monster in front of him — the Scarlet Flame Wolf, a Class 1 Magical Beast. It moved like the wind, its claws and teeth were extremely sharp, and it could easily tear through a piece of leather armor.

When Ye Yang left the house, he had wanted to buy a light armor as well. However, even the light armor made Ye Yang feel that his flexibility had been greatly restricted, let alone a light armor.

Since the light armor's defense wasn't that outstanding, he decided to wear his usual black robe.

What Ye Yang didn't know was that the warriors usually hunt in teams. The division of labor is different. The heavy armored warriors' main mission is to delay the magical beasts and give their comrades a chance to attack.

Such a person had to have very high defense and strength. Otherwise, the entire team would be in danger.

Although Ye Yang's battle prowess was astonishing, he was indeed an inexperienced rookie in the field of hunting magical beasts.

The Scarlet Flame Wolf's attack was ineffective. It used its front claws to push itself off the ground and twisted its body. With an even faster speed, it pounced towards Ye Yang.

Ye Yang narrowed his eyes and stopped dodging. He raised his spear and blocked the Scarlet Flame Wolf's claws. Surprisingly, when the claws clashed with each other, sparks were produced, and the sounds of metal clashing rang out.

The Scarlet Flame Flame Wolf's claws were blocked and it immediately opened its mouth and charged towards Ye Yang. Before the attack arrived, a stench of rotten flesh assaulted its face.

Taking a step back, he kicked the Scarlet Flame Wolf's left eye. This kick was quite powerful and sent the Scarlet Flame Wolf, which weighed more than a thousand feet, tumbling twice in the air before landing heavily on the ground.

When it crawled back up, the Scarlet Flame Wolf's eyes were bleeding profusely. It was obvious that it was severely injured, but this kind of injury did not cause the Scarlet Flame Wolf to feel fear. Instead, it activated its ferocity and roared, charging towards Ye Yang.

Ye Yang swept out with the spear in both hands.

Puff.

The black iron lance smashed into the Scarlet Flame Wolf's head, causing its head to burst like a watermelon, splashing red and white all over the place as it landed heavily on the ground.

Ye Yang thought that he was lucky. After he attacked just now, he retreated a few steps, or else he would have been sprayed all over.

"What bad luck, the first magical beast I met was actually a mad dog. It can't hone the [Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant], but there's no rush, as long as I hurry back within three months, I'll be fine!" Ye Yang checked the body of the Scarlet Flame Wolf, but didn't find the legendary magical beast crystal core.

When Ye Yang arrived, he did not prepare much rations. He estimated that he would be living off hunting in the future. However, this was one of his goals during his experiential learning.

However, Ye Yang wasn't sure if the crystal core didn't exist in the first place, or if it was shattered by him. He took out a small boning knife from his ring and cut off the Scarlet Flame Wolf's four legs, throwing it away like a spatial ring.

Standing in front of the Flame Wolf's corpse, Ye Yang silently activated the God Slaughtering Technique. As the God Slaughtering Technique activated, Ye Yang discovered a ball of mist slowly emerging from the Flame Wolf's corpse. Upon closer inspection, there was a wolf cub howling within the mist.

Ye Yang knew that this was the soul attraction mentioned in the God Slaughtering Technique. As long as he absorbed this ball of energy, he would soon be able to become a martial artist.

Thinking about promotion to a martial warrior, Ye Yang's blood started to boil. However, after thinking about it again and again, he still gave up on this promotion.

After advancing in the forest for another hour, Ye Yang finally met a suitable prey. On a spacious grassland, Ye Yang discovered a Armored Bull.

It was a ten feet tall raging bull. Its entire body was covered with snake-like scales, and it was shining brilliantly in the sunlight.

Armored Bull, a Class 1 Magical Beast. Because of its amazing strength and defense, even Class II Magical Beast would not be willing to provoke a Class 1 Magical Beast.

Seeing the Armored Bull, Ye Yang shouted in excitement. He kept the spear in his spatial ring and rushed towards the Armored Bull.

Armored Bull was a herbivorous creature, but its personality was even more irritable than carnivores, and it had a strong sense of territory. Throughout the years that it had been here, very few demon beasts dared to set foot in its territory.

Now that he saw a little guy charging at him without restraint, he was immediately enraged and charged towards Ye Yang.

As the Armored Bull ran, the ground also shook. The two figures did not stop at all, like two shooting stars smashing into each other.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, mud and grass flew everywhere.

Ye Yang was knocked back seventy to eighty meters before he finally stabilized his feet. He extended a hand to wipe off the blood from the corner of his mouth and rubbed his slightly numb arms. His eyes became even more excited.

The Armored Bull did not feel well either. It was only after being knocked back by Ye Yang's fist and had a dizzy spell did it finally recover.

Ye Yang did not wait for the Armored Bull to attack and took the initiative to attack.

The Armored Bull, as the overlord of this area, was clearly not someone who was willing to suffer a loss. With a flick of its horn, its foot kicked out, and its tail lashed out like a steel whip.

In less than half an incense's time, who knows how many times Ye Yang's body had been injured. His entire body was riddled with injuries.

However, it was clear that the Armored Bull was also enraged, and could only stop after chasing after him for about 10 miles. It did not want to give up, and the key point was that its speed was not his strength, so it could only return to its own territory resentfully.

Ye Yang found a pool of water and washed himself clean. There were many wounds that were still dripping blood. The moment he touched water, Ye Yang grimaced in pain. His clothes were already tattered, so he decided to just take them off.

He sat down cross-legged and began circulating the . As he circulated the technique, the wounds on Ye Yang's body slowly healed, scabbed, and finally fell off. Not a single wound could be seen on his body.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that his skin was smooth and gave off a healthy feeling. He could not help but smile.

The Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant was a body tempering cultivation technique. Not only did it strengthen the body, it also had healing effects.

However, this technique had a sense of self-mutilation. Cultivators needed to constantly be injured by external forces and have their body continuously absorb damage in order to gradually advance.

Ye Yang's strength had now reached 3000 jins, meeting the requirements to enter the Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant. It's just that if he wanted to reach the bronze body, he'd have to suffer countless of attacks and injuries.

He looked at the sky and saw that it was already dusk. It had only taken six hours before he found a place to set up his tent and spread some of the feces of a high ranking magical beast all over the place.

After doing all of this, Ye Yang took out the wok, cleaned up the leg, and put it into the wok. He added in the seasonings that were prepared in a tranquil manner, and began cooking.

Not long after, the fragrance of the meat assaulted his nostrils. Ye Yang took out a bowl of chopsticks and started eating heartily. Not long after, all of the wolf leg meat that weighed nearly twenty catties entered Ye Yang's stomach.

After eating, Ye Yang went straight into the tent and sat down to digest the food. This was the first time Ye Yang opened his mouth wide to eat demon beast meat. After all, eating in a restaurant really hurt his heart.

After digesting the wolf meat within his body, Ye Yang felt that other than his strength increasing, he was also surprised to discover that his body seemed to have lightened a bit.

He waved his fist in the air and found that his speed was faster than the day. Although it was not by much, it was still a bit faster.

Ye Yang secretly rejoiced. He reckoned that eating this type of meat would give him some sort of ability. Ye Yang immediately thought of that house-sized Barbaric Cow and unconsciously drooled.

The next few days, a great battle between humans and oxen continued to take place in the depths of the mountains. The sounds of explosions could be heard constantly, causing birds to fly into the air from time to time, and wild beasts to flee in all directions.

On the seventh day, Ye Yang held onto the two horns of the Armored Bull and smashed it to pieces with a loud shout.

The Armored Bull was no longer as irritable as it was before. It was now like a docile plow cow as it looked at Ye Yang with teary eyes.

He could still gain the upper hand two days ago, but as time passed, the strength of this tiny little human before him had increased by an astonishing amount every day.

There were a few times where escaping was impossible. Every time he wanted to escape, he would get beaten up when he returned. The Armored Bull really wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

He looked at his hands in satisfaction. Both of his hands were now a faint bronze color. He felt that they were full of explosive power.

He reached out and patted the Armored Bull's head, "Don't be dejected, right now my Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant has reached the Bronze-ranked. You have done a great service, forget it, I won't eat your meat. Consider it compensation."

Regardless of whether the Armored Bull could understand, Ye Yang turned around and left the grassland as he continued to head deeper in.

"As expected of an Earth Stage High Rank cultivation technique. Even if I were to enter the sect, it would allow my strength to soar by leaps and bounds." Alright, since that's the case, let's proceed with the second step of the plan. "
