Immortality from Taming Elephant-Chapter 528 - 237: Introduction to the Formless Tribulation Heart Sutra, Five-Colored Divine Light, Slaying the Void Beast, and the Upcoming Assessment Tournament
"Boss, you..."
"This monster’s concealment skills are pretty impressive."
Bai Xiaozhu: ...
Is that really what I want to say?
This is a Third Grade Void Beast! In the Void Realm, they’re generally existences slain by several Third Grade Experts working together, but now...
It was like being crushed alive by Xu Guang.
"Boss, just how strong are you now?"
Xu Guang shook his head, "I don’t know."
Bai Xiaozhu let out a sound, and then thought of something, his eyes lit up, "During our examination, the toughest should be that Hong Xu. How many moves do you think it would take to beat him..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guang’s eyes revealed a touch of disdain.
"If he survives one move, he should consider himself lucky."
Bai Xiaozhu’s eyes widened.
That strong?
Could it be possible to defeat a Second Grade?
It could very well be. That moment when Xu Guang crushed the Void Beast, although it didn’t show any profound skill, Bai Xiaozhu could perceive that Xu Guang’s Divine Thought Power was very strong.
And a Second Grade is stronger than a Third Grade because of the difference in Divine Soul transformation.
Given the strength of Xu Guang’s Divine Thought Power, it might actually bridge the gap between the two grades.
"Let’s focus on cultivation first."
Xu Guang gripped the Void Beast’s core, ignoring Bai Xiaozhu, and swiftly began refining the Spirit Charm orb left behind when the demon beast died.
Bai Xiaozhu did not continue questioning; the tides here are too turbulent, and if the Spirit Charm orbs were washed away, it would be a pure waste.
Three days later.
The two absorbed all the Spirit Charm orbs completely.
Satisfied, they withdrew from the Void Realm.
This time upon leaving, they had abundant harvests. Xu Guang obtained the Void Beast’s core, which might enhance his current Five Elements Qi usage.
Bai Xiaozhu also refined a large number of Void Beast’s Spirit Charm orbs, advancing his cultivation as well.
Contentedly returned.
...
Two days later.
Xu Guang sent the recently refined elixirs to the Hundred Herb Pavilion and had a meal with Jiang Zi Yun and Bai Xiaozhu.
This time, he was the host.
Knowing he was skilled in alchemy, Bai Xiaozhu kept pestering him to host a meal; Xu Guang was not a stingy person, especially when General Wei clearly enjoys gourmet food made from demon materials.
This time, Gongsun Wang and Gongsun Bai were added. Gongsun Wang had just returned a few days ago, and he and Zhuge Wuliang had just arrived at the North Emperor Institute. After gaining a general understanding, they eagerly began demon hunting and exorcism.
Gongsun Wang returned this time also because of some injuries, and with the big examination approaching, he came back for some peace.
Gongsun Wang mentioned that Zhuge Wuliang is still in the eastern coastal area, demon capturing.
Xu Guang showed sympathy; people from these small places seem to work very hard.
It’s worth noting that Jiang Zi Yun began learning Jizhou’s alchemy techniques. After breaking through the Fourth Grade, she used the Divine Power Fruit to comprehend the True Sun Fire Divine Technique, which is extremely suitable for alchemy.
Since she had previously studied alchemy, her progress was pretty good.
In time, both will be able to earn money.
Though in Beiji City, the duo barely count as middle-level or above experts, with the status of North Emperor Institute disciples, there’s no worry about anyone targeting them.
Toast and drink, conversations flowed joyfully.
"The demons of Hongze are more cunning than those in Li Taizhou, and harder to deal with. A Third Grade is at most a big leader, and above them are various who call themselves Demon Kings.
Generally, those who claim to be Demon Kings among the Third Grades, though without a backing, possess strong capabilities and some unique abilities, making them hard to handle. Even a Second Grade Demon Hunter can’t necessarily eliminate them completely."
Gongsun Wang expressed his feelings.
There are humans with skills far beyond their realm, and naturally, in demons, there are also those with extraordinary bloodlines and heavenly opportunities.
Gongsun Bai’s complexion improved significantly, Xu Guang glanced several times; his Spirit Palace problem seemed to be completely resolved.
However, he stayed low-key and said nothing during the meal, just listening to the conversations of Xu Guang, Gongsun Wang, and others.
Xu Guang planned to find a chance later to ask her present condition alone.
As they enjoyed chatting pleasantly.
A message appeared above their crystal nameplates.
