Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1682 - 1719: Ding Fan’s Exposed Strength

Ding Fan and the others understood that it was almost time for their transference, but at this moment, the True Dragon was devouring the Yuan Beasts at an incredibly fast pace. In a short moment, the True Dragon had already gulped down all the Yuan Beasts Ding Fan and the others had taken out, temporarily stabilizing its mood.

However, both Guo Linn and Ah Du had run out of Yuan Beasts. They had taken out Fourth Grade, Fifth Grade, and some even Sixth Grade Yuan Beasts. Only Ding Fan had brought out a few Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts, which were not easy to deal with.

And their storage bags were almost empty. Although Ah Du’s method proved effective for a moment, calming the True Dragon down, now, having devoured a large quantity of Yuan Beasts, its appetite was far from ordinary.

These Yuan Beasts were mere trifles for the True Dragon; to satisfy it completely was utterly impossible.

Guo Linn quickly realized the problem. He grew anxious, yet helpless, only hoping the time would pass quickly and the beast would devour Yuan Beasts more slowly. But contrary to his hopes, the speed at which the True Dragon devoured Yuan Beasts increased dramatically, while time continued at its usual pace.

Ah Du, too, felt some anxiety, knowing all the Yuan Beasts he had previously collected were gone. Though stabilizing the Dragon’s mood for now, without Yuan Beasts to feed it, the True Dragon would likely turn hostile all too quick.

Ah Du certainly knew that the Dragon’s intelligence was high, far from being fooled by small favors and petty tricks. If it discovered they had nothing more to offer, it would immediately attack them.

At this point, they had already burned all their bridges, fully exposed. If the True Dragon decided to strike, they would be doomed; perhaps only Ding Fan could endure a while longer, but lasting indefinitely was out of the question.

Meanwhile, as Guo Linn and Ah Du were anxious and at a loss, Ding Fan suddenly took out a large amount of Yuan Beast flesh from his storage bag, which shocked both Guo Linn and Ah Du.

They never anticipated Ding Fan possessing so much Yuan Beast flesh. Moreover, many were Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts, which even Spirit Severing stage cultivators wouldn’t dare underestimate. These Yuan Beasts were equivalent in strength to a Spirit Severing stage cultivator.

For Ding Fan to have so many Yuan Beasts of such a level was unimaginable to Guo Linn and Ah Du.

Both had a certain understanding of Ding Fan, knowing his cultivation was merely at Nascent Soul Mid Stage. Although aware his strength couldn’t be judged solely by his cultivation level, it couldn’t be overly disproportionate.

They knew Ding Fan’s strength was definitely not a match for a Spirit Severing stage cultivator or a Seventh Grade Yuan Beast, yet he produced so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beast carcasses, leaving them deeply astonished!

Guo Linn was extremely shocked. He realized during the Xuantian Secret Realm period, he’d been with Big Brother Ding Fan and hadn’t seen him hunt so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts. He deduced these carcasses were hunted by Ding Fan prior to their entry.

Guo Linn admitted not being the smartest, yet he wasn’t foolish either. Ding Fan’s previous ability to hunt so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts indicated a substantial strength before entering the Xuantian Secret Realm. Furthermore, hunting such beasts was beyond mere luck.

No cultivator, regardless of luck, could hunt so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts. Besides, encountering these beasts within the Cultivation World wasn’t an everyday occurrence, and for most cultivators, encountering one would mean certain death.

After all, Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts are equivalent to a Spirit Severing stage cultivator, and even Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivators find them challenging; they often avoid such formidable foes.

Yuan Beasts inherently possess greater power and speed than humans, thus even Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivators lack full assurance in slaying a Seventh Grade Yuan Beast.

In the Cultivation World, Spirit Severing Late Stage cultivators are rare like phoenix feathers, and many cultivators may live a lifetime without encountering one, for their power and status make them inaccessible.

Therefore, most cultivators, upon encountering such Yuan Beasts, would only face certain death. Of course, the chance of encountering such beasts is very rare indeed, as these beasts are a rarity even among Yuan Beasts, akin to cultivators in the Spirit Severing Late Stage among humans.

However, what Guo Linn couldn’t comprehend was that not only did big brother Ding Fan encounter so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts, he even managed to slay so many of them. This is simply unbelievable! This initially suggests that big brother’s power was already daunting before entering the Xuantian Secret Realm.

Even though big brother’s cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage, his strength visible from the corpses of these Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts showed that he was in no way inferior to those cultivators in the Spirit Severing Late Stage. This is truly astonishing. Initially, Guo Linn thought that after cultivating that "Sorcery," his strength would be somewhat similar to big brother’s.

Yet now, upon reflection, it seems that this is impossible. His strength still falls far behind big brother’s, and even compared to Ding Fan before entering the Xuantian Secret Realm, there is a significant gap. At this moment, Guo Linn utterly realizes that big brother’s strength is not something ordinary people can easily estimate.

Moreover, Guo Linn knows that although big brother in the Sword Washing Pool obtained a martial arts book that seemed least useful, it is still a treasure of the Sword Washing Pool. Even if it’s useless, it far surpasses martial arts in the Cultivation World. Guo Linn is aware that big brother’s strength must be stronger now, given that big brother had undergone a month’s closed-door training.

Guo Linn knows in his heart that, let alone cultivators as talented as big brother, even ordinary cultivators would significantly enhance their strength from nearly a month of closed-door training in the spiritually rich environment of the Sword Washing Pool—not to mention big brother Ding Fan.

At this moment, Guo Linn has gained some new insights into big brother Ding Fan, these insights touching upon a sense of unfathomable depth...

At this moment, Ah Du, seeing Ding Fan’s actions, was deeply astonished. He never thought Ding Fan possessed so many Yuan Beast corpses, and among them were so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts, which truly disturbed him. He fully understood the terror of Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts.

Ah Du knew that even if he recently mastered three Sword Techniques of the "Sword Drawing Technique" and his cultivation had broken through to the Spirit Severing Stage, he likely wouldn’t be a match for the Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts. After all, such beasts aren’t easily confronted by cultivators even in the Spirit Severing Late Stage, and he himself had only recently broken through to the Spirit Severing Stage and thus wouldn’t stand a chance against such beasts!

Yet Ah Du did not expect Ding Fan could slay so many Yuan Beasts, which is almost unbelievable!

To know that Ding Fan’s cultivation is only in the Nascent Soul Mid Stage and still manages such feats is simply astonishing! Previously, when Ah Du saw Ding Fan dealing with the present True Dragon, he already realized Ding Fan’s strength surpassed his.

Even though he broke through to the Spirit Severing Stage and developed the "Sword Drawing Technique" to its Third Sword Technique, he still falls short compared to Ding Fan. Right now, witnessing this scene left him shockingly aware of the enormous gap between them.

The fact that Ding Fan could slay so many Seventh Grade Yuan Beasts even before entering the Xuantian Secret Realm shows that at that time his strength was far beyond what Ah Du could achieve. Furthermore, having undergone almost a month of closed-door training in the Sword Washing Pool, he was convinced that although Ding Fan seemingly hadn’t undergone any breakthrough, his overall strength must have improved significantly.

Ah Du feels at this moment as if he couldn’t reach Ding Fan’s level, initially believing that acquiring this "Sword Drawing Technique" would allow surpassing him, but now he realizes he was wrong. He is still far from being able to match Ding Fan’s strength, and it certainly isn’t something that can be caught up with anytime soon.

Now Ah Du understands why even the Lake Master of the Thirty-Six Caves shows him respect by calling him big brother; clearly, Ding Fan’s strength can certainly be compared to the Lake Master, and perhaps even with some special treasures in his hand, his strength might not be below the Lake Master.

Yet, as for himself being a disciple of the Thirty-Six Caves, he most likely wouldn’t compare to Ding Fan at all!

Yet Ah Du doesn’t fall into despair; instead, he still has plenty of confidence. Though his strength doesn’t match someone like Ding Fan, in the entire Thirty-Six Caves, he is unquestionably a top-notch presence. Previously, he heard of the most outstanding disciple in the Thirty-Six Caves, a cultivator named Lu Ferng. Initially, Ah Du felt lacking confidence compared to him, but now he had acquired the martial arts of the Sword Washing Pool and even had cultivated to a certain level.

He believes his strength definitely won’t be much lesser than Lu Ferng’s. Though he knows he can’t compare to Ding Fan, he absolutely wants to become the most outstanding disciple in the Thirty-Six Caves and strive to become the Sect Master; then, the cultivation resources inclined towards him would be abundant, and at that time, he wouldn’t have to worry about cultivation resources in the future, securing for himself a promising future.
