Chapter 39: Taking Grade Four Beast Core
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Tian advanced cautiously. After walking for about five kilometers, he could already feel the strong presence of a Monster even without an alert from Drago.
More than ten minutes later, Yang Tian finally saw a gigantic white-colored snake.
The giant snake was armored in snow-white scales. Its body was thicker than a water bucket and was at least 20 meters long.
When Yang Tian saw the giant white snake, it noticed Yang Tian as well.
Snakes had poor eyesight but they could sense their surroundings when they stuck their tongues out. When it noticed Yang Tian, it decided that Yang Tian’s presence was not very strong, so it abandoned its curled up position and slithered toward him.
Without the benefit of a ‘foreplay’, Yang Tian started fighting as soon as he saw the giant white snake.
Woosh!
The giant snake was really fast and caused a strong breeze to blow past him as it moved. In the blink of an eye, it came right in front of Yang Tian and opened its jaw from above, wanting to swallow him whole.
Yang Tian raised his head and realized that the snake’s fangs were black, and he immediately knew that it was a deadly venomous python.
Grade Four pythons were Golden Pythons, which meant that the body was covered in a shiny gold color. However, that particular Grade Four python was white, and it was probably a rare species. Rare species like that were usually more powerful than the regular species of the same kind and grade.
Facing the snake charging down at him, Yang Tian dashed out of range and swung his saber at its huge body.
Thud!
Yang Tian’s blade made contact with the python and it sounded like a blunt knife chopping on wood-the very sharp Tang dao bounced off the python’s body!
At the same moment, the giant snake’s mouth missed Yang Tian.
Woosh!
A strong gust of wind followed the python’s tail, sweeping toward Yang Tian.
He jumped up and made a twist in mid-air, dodging the tail right at the nick of time, and landed on the ground steadily.
Boom!
The sweep did not hit Yang Tian so the giant python swung its tail again, hitting a tree that was as thick as a human waist. The tree shook violently and dead leaves fell like snowflakes.
“This animal is so powerful!” Yang Tian stared at the giant python’s tail and exclaimed.
Right at that moment, the python quickly turned around and opened up its jaw again to bite Yang Tian. Yang Tian squinted slightly and spotted its neck in an instant-he realized that the scales were slightly more scarce there than the rest of its body.
He quickly decided that that was the weak spot of the giant python!
However, this thing was moving incredibly fast so it was not easy to hit its neck!
Seeing the python’s jaw charging down again, he jumped out of its range once more.
Hiss...
Before Yang Tian could steady himself, he saw a beam of transparent liquid shooting out of the reptile’s upper jaw.
‘Venom!’
Yang Tian was horrified as he stomped on the ground and dodged to the side.
Hissss...
The python’s venom touched a big tree, and the tree bark started sizzling with white steam coming off, sounding like raw meat on a charcoal grill.
The poison was strongly corrosive!
The big guy was equipped with something like that. Yang Tian felt fearful after thAT event. It was fortunate that he noticed the python’s black fangs and was cautious the whole time. Otherwise, he could have died from a splash of venom.
“Squeak squeak squeak...”
Drago squeaked loudly to ask if Yang Tian needed help.
Yang Tian chuckled and said, “No need, I can still handle this one.”
As he finished his words, he jumped into mid-air, kicked his feet on a tree, and bounced forward while swinging his saber toward the giant python’s neck.
Thud!
The noise of blade cutting into flesh was heard-Yang Tian’s Tang dao slashed the neck of the python, leaving behind a narrow and long wound.
When Yang Tian landed, the wound on the snake was already bleeding heavily.
Yang Tian sneered. The big guy’s weak spot was really on the neck!
The giant python went into a frenzy and opened its jaw wide. It shot a large amount of poison at him once again.
Yang Tian turned his body and hid behind a big tree away from the poison.
Boom!
Seeing that Yang Tian went behind the tree, the giant python swung its tail on the tree trunk. Hearing the wind whistling, Yang Tian jumped away. The big tree that was thicker than the rim of a bowl got broken into two halves.
Disregarding its grade and just comparing its strength, the attack rate of this giant python was close to the Grade Five Silver-backed Bear killed by Yang Tian and the team Warriors.
Yang Tian moved rapidly between trees to keep the python busy with redirecting its body so that it was not able to lock-in on him.
A few minutes later, Yang Tian found an opportunity. He paused, and the python did not lose a second to open its jaw and shot venom at him again.
Taking the window of opportunity, Yang Tian jumped behind a big tree and hopped on to the tree while it was shooting poison. He propelled himself from a tree branch and charged at the snake once again.
That time, Yang Tian used even more strength and focus.
Thud!
His blade stabbed right into the giant python’s wound and came out from the other side.
The python swung its head in great pain; Yang Tian could not hold on to his saber and was thrown away by the powerful yank.
...
That was probably a lethal strike. Yang Tian landed on his feet and rolled behind a big tree to hide.
The giant python twisted its body in pain and flicked its huge head as blood gushed out in large amounts from its neck wound...
About two hours later, the giant white python finally stopped moving.
“Squeak squeak!”
Drago, who was crouching on Yang Tian’s shoulder, squeaked excitedly.
Yang Tian let out a long exhale, walked up to the python, and pulled out the saber from its neck. He raised his saber and swung at the python head a dozen over times and finally broke it open. He picked out a green-colored Beast Core.
Looking at the Grade Four Beast Core, Yang Tian smiled. He wiped away the sticky substance with his sleeves and put it in his mouth.
Before the energy of the Grade Four Beast Core was absorbed by his digestive organs, Yang Tian held his saber and ran forward. Not long after, he found a big tree, climbed up, and laid on a branch.
Drago widened his eyes and scanned his surroundings in alertness, taking watch for Yang Tian.
Eating multiple lower grade Beast Cores were nothing compared to eating a Grade Four Beast Core. A huge energy rose from his diaphragm. Yang Tian could control this energy, so he focused it on his chest to be absorbed by the Dragon Pearl.
The practice kept going till the next morning.
...
In that process, Yang Tian’s body underwent an obvious change. When he woke up, he felt that his strength was a lot stronger than before and estimated that he already reached the level of a Class Four Warrior. If he pushed further with the energy from the Dragon Pearl, he would probably end with a tie to a Class Five Warrior.
During the battle with the white python, he did not use the energy from the Dragon Pearl at all. That was a discipline he imposed on himself so that he could force his body to perform at its full potential.
Yang Tian agreed with Qin Zhengyang completely. Within a year, he went from being a regular high schooler to a Class Four Warrior-that was not something he could achieve by merely training in the military academy.
He could reach the same amount of physical exercise in the training court, but he could never experience real combat in that way. Only real combat could stimulate one’s potential!
“Lightning sword!”
Tz-tz-tzt...
Jumping down from the tree, Yang Tian shouted and started practicing his saber form. The blade turned into sheets of white light, slicing the falling leaves from the tree into shreds.
During his practice, Yang Tian activated the energy from the Dragon Pearl, and he discovered that his speed had reached a new height of at least two notches faster than before.
If he used this kind of strength against the giant white python, Yang Tian believed that all he needed was a few strokes with the saber to kill the Grade Four Monster.
After he practiced the saber form, he stabbed the blade into the ground next to him and started practicing Thunder Fist.
Boom!
Yang Tian threw a punch at a big tree and left a fist mark on the hard trunk!
Boom boom boom...
He did not stop throwing punches on the tree trunk. Very soon, he broke the tree trunk that was thicker than the rim of a bowl. The trunk toppled with a loud crackling noise.
Both of Yang Tian’s fists became red and swollen after using such might to punch the big tree.
