Chapter 61 - Promotion of Fighters

When Ye Yang transformed his Zhen Qi into the metal element, the entire bow and arrow turned gold. Behind Ye Yang, a curved crescent moon quietly appeared.

The foot sized crescent moon hung hazily behind Ye Yang. After the crescent moon appeared, traces of golden energy began to gather in the shadows of the moon.

It's just that this energy was extremely minute and Ye Yang couldn't feel it at all. However, this time, Ye Yang didn't use his true energy, but true essence.

This was also the first time he was using true essence. Although the energy was different, the route and method of operation were the same as true energy.

However, when he mobilized his true essence, Ye Yang could clearly feel that his meridians were aching and could not handle the strain.

Ye Yang knew that his meridians weren't able to support his true essence for the time being, which was why he felt such discomfort. However, the problem wasn't too serious, so he continued to enter.

When he felt that half of the primeval essence in his body had been injected into the Lunar Shadow, his right hand relaxed.

Almost as soon as the arrow left the bowstring, it reached the face of the fiery newt. Before it could understand what was happening, it felt a sharp pain in its head.

The arrow penetrated through the armor, bringing with it a rain of blood. It pierced through the jaw of the fiery newt, and a bloody hole the size of a bowl appeared on its head.

"Ang!"

The Raging Flames Salamander cried out miserably as it rolled on the ground. Its four limbs were swaying wildly and its tail was swinging crazily. The rocks in the surroundings were being sent flying like artillery shells in all directions.

When Ye Yang saw that he had succeeded in his attack, he dodged the rocks in a flurry and rushed towards the distance. He ran thousands of feet away, climbed up a large tree, and watched quietly.

He had clearly received a fatal injury, but he had still struggled for the time it took for an incense stick to burn before he finally stopped. In the end, the surroundings of the corpse were a complete mess, even the trees in the distance were smashed down.

Ye Yang inwardly clucked his tongue at how tenacious the life force of a magical beast was. If it weren't for Moon Shadow's achievements today, even if he were to die from exhaustion, he wouldn't be able to do anything to this magical beast.

Even though Ye Yang was confident in his zhenqi and endurance, he was much stronger than an average practitioner of the same cultivation level.

However, magical beasts were many times more talented than humans. In battles between individuals of the same level, it usually required several people to form a team in order to have a chance of being hunted.

Normally, someone who could defeat a magical beast of the same rank was considered a genius, but for someone like Ye Yang, who could kill a magical beast above his rank, it was absolutely shocking.

Just like a fiery salamander, its Scorching Breath was its ability. If a normal martial artist were to be hit by it, even if they didn't die, they would still be severely injured.

High temperatures would burn a human's skin and muscles, but Ye Yang's body was strong and had great resistance to it. Even so, it still caused countless blisters.

After a while, seeing that the Raging Inferno Salamander had not moved and was certain that it was dead, Ye Yang let out a long sigh of relief and greeted the little fox in the distance.

The little guy was very obedient and listened to Ye Yang's words. When it saw Ye Yang call out to it, it instantly turned into a streak of white light and jumped onto Ye Yang's shoulder.

Ye Yang arrived in front of the Raging Flames Salamander's corpse. This was practically a reality version of the Godzilla. He couldn't even touch its chin with his hand.

He believed that if that arrow hadn't used true essence but true qi, even if it could have broken through its defenses, it wouldn't have been able to kill it.

Ye Yang took out a wild fruit he picked in the forest and threw it to the little fox, telling it to find a place to play.

Ye Yang sat cross-legged on the ground with a solemn expression. Both his hands slowly formed a seal in front of his chest. As Ye Yang moved, a shadow slowly appeared over the corpse.

However, only Ye Yang was able to see this shadow. The little fox was proudly nibbling on the fruit on the side, completely unconscious.

However, the shadow was very solid, and one could see its face. A five-foot-long fiery newt was roaring.

Ye Yang ignored him. Circulating the God Slaughtering Technique, a powerful suction force appeared between his brows. The mysterious man didn't have any strength to resist as he was sucked towards Ye Yang.

It was like a spark that had been ignited. The cyclone began to contract as if it was a flame that had exploded. The cyclone spread out in all directions.

The whirlpool that was originally restrained suddenly surged out in all directions like a flood bursting through a dike.

Originally, he was worried that after his Qi tornado had been modified, even if he broke through to become a warrior, it would not change much. However, he did not expect the to give him such a big surprise.

Ever since he entered the academy, Ye Yang understood more and more about cultivation. Normally, when a martial artist advanced into the warrior realm, the Qi tornado within their body would be three times larger than when they were at the peak of the martial arts realm, and a genius would be five times larger.

The size of the Qi tornado would directly affect the strength of the practitioners. The larger the Qi tornado was, the more combat skills it could use.

It was just like a battle between two people. One person's zhenqi capacity was small, and after executing two battle skills, his zhenqi was depleted. Other than surrender, how else could he fight against another person?

As for some advanced battle skills, they were even more expensive. If one did not have enough true qi, they would not even be able to use it. From this, it could be seen just how important the Qi tornado was.

Right now, Ye Yang's cyclone was so large that even he himself was somewhat afraid of it. Right now, his cyclone felt endless. He was afraid that if he continued cultivating like this, his cultivation speed would become slower and slower.

However, since things had already come to this point, there was no use worrying about it. He could only take things one step at a time.

However, this wasn't the only thing that made Ye Yang pleasantly surprised. Ye Yang also discovered that after breaking through the nine hundredth stage of Nine Underworld Heaven Stairway, the fist-sized ball of primeval essence had already turned into a ball the size of a foot.

Ye Yang couldn't help but feel elated. When he shot down the Raging Inferno Salamander, he already felt that the moon's shadow was extremely magical.

It was as if her power would change with her output. If she had poured all the true essence in her body into it, she would have been excited just thinking about it. This was definitely a killing move.

Ye Yang opened his eyes and slowly stood up. With a "hu" sound, he threw a punch into the air.

"It seems like the increase in power isn't that great." Ye Yang couldn't help but frown. The strength of his physical body had always been his greatest reliance. Unexpectedly, there wasn't any obvious enhancement this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"My current body's strength is already much stronger than that of ordinary martial masters. I should be satisfied!" Ye Yang could only console himself.

Jumping onto the head of the Raging Flames Salamander, he pulled out a sharp dagger. With great effort, he retrieved the magical beast core, and a dragon-eye-sized dark red object appeared in his hand.

Magical beast cores were extremely rare, and they were extremely rare on the continent. Rank 3 cores, in particular, were extremely valuable.

A Class II Magical Beast core was usually used to concoct pills or make accessories to assist in cultivation.

The Class 3 Magical Beast cores, on the other hand, were extremely precious. Because the Class 3 Magical Beast had already awakened its skills, their cores were rich in elements.

The crystal in Ye Yang's hand was a typical fire type crystal. If it was embedded in a fire type weapon, on one hand, it could increase the attack power of the fire attribute. On the other hand, it could greatly conserve the user's true energy.

In other words, the user only needed a small amount of true energy to display the power of this weapon. This was the value of a crystal core of the third step.

Keeping the crystal core, Ye Yang looked at the corpse of the Raging Flaming Salamander and felt a little troubled. With such a large corpse, if he stored it in his ring, he wouldn't be able to store anything else.

For the first time, Ye Yang felt that his spatial ring wasn't enough. He should change to a larger one.

However, if he were to throw it away, he would definitely not be willing to part with it. Merely its skin was a precious material for forging armor.

A defense that even he is unable to break through is definitely considered powerful. Bringing it back to the academy would surely earn him a lot of points.

However, with the tools in his hands, he might not even be able to break out of this behemoth in half a month.

Moreover, he was not born to be a hardworking person. He looked around and found a front leg as thick as a water tank. He took out a dagger and poked at the gap in the armor.

"Crack!"

The dagger was cut in half.

He threw it away and took out the spear as a dagger. He had to work hard for nearly an hour before he could finally remove the foot that was almost ten feet long. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely.

He then ran into the forest, gathered a large pile of firewood, and built a huge fire between the two boulders.

He placed his front legs on the two boulders to roast. Then, he casually heated up the broth that he had stewed yesterday that had yet to be finished.

The little fox was in high spirits as it ran up and down the hall. Looking at the huge leg in the barbecue, it was extremely excited.

"Heh, be careful and don't fall into the fire. Today, I'll treat you to a roasted salamander. This is the name of the island nation's food." Ye Yang said with a smile.

However, Ye Yang had long since stepped on it. There weren't any tyrannical magical beasts within a hundred mile radius. Since Class 3 and below came, they would only be eating. There was nothing to be afraid of.

Ye Yang swallowed his saliva. This taste was indeed too fragrant, and the little fox was drooling. If it wasn't for Ye Yang stopping it, it probably would have gone up to bite him.

The fire lasted for two hours before it finally burnt through the entire outer layer. Ye Yang took out a knife and gently peeled off the outer layer, exposing the tender flesh within.

Ye Yang cut off a thin slice and placed it in his mouth. It was tender and juicy, melting immediately upon entering his mouth. As he lightly chewed, a rich fragrance filled his mouth.

The little fox unwillingly jumped onto Ye Yang's shoulder and grabbed onto a strand of Ye Yang's hair as it shook its mission. It was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Yang's previous actions.

"Sigh!" "Stop messing around, I'm just trying out the taste. I'm almost done!" Ye Yang quickly took out a plate and cut off a piece of meat the size of a fist. He gave it to the little fox and only then did the little guy stop.

After eating the salamander meat into his stomach, a familiar warm current slowly formed and flowed into his limbs and bones. Ye Yang was immediately very excited.

"This is great! It has been a long time since we last met!"
