Chapter 129 Tempering Oneself
It wasn't that he had become arrogant, but rather that he needed sufficient pressure to squeeze out his own potential. It would be best if he could suffer more injuries, as only then could his physique be truly tempered, and he could also collect some Spirit Herbs along the way.
Of course, choosing a suitable target was also very important.
Those that flew in the sky or swam in the water were not his first choice. It was best if they ran on the Ground, had weak perception, strong bodies, and low intelligence – Second Stage Monster Beasts that met these four requirements.
Bearing the Night Concealment Spell and Invisibility Technique, two Great Perfection concealment Mystical Arts, it was easy to deceive the perception of Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts.
To some extent, he was actually very safe.
Taking the Cliff-Split Cave as the center, Wang Yu would go out to search every day. In the environment of the Black Mountain Demon Land, there grew many unowned First Tier Spirit Herbs.
The search range expanded from one mile to five miles, then ten miles, and the Harvesting became more and more abundant.
Half a month later, he finally found a suitable target.
An Earth Attribute, Earth-Rock Bull covered in rock armor. Its Earth Attribute was very obvious, its muscles as hard as stone, and it had no ranged attack methods.
Perfect!
This Earth-Rock Bull lived in a withered yellow Grassland, and the surrounding area was its Territory. Few other Monster Beasts dared to intrude.
Moreover, the edge of the Grassland was a Cliff, a vertical Cliff, where a large amount of Earth Spirit Dendrobium grew. This was a relatively rare Second Grade Spirit Herb that could be used to refine Spirit Pills to enhance physique.
A large patch of Earth Spirit Dendrobium had been eaten, but quite a bit remained, enough for Wang Yu to make a fortune.
"Snow Jade Fox, go."
Gently patting the Spirit Beast Pouch at his waist, the tender white and small fox opened its pink eyes and "yipped~" uncertainly.
Its cute face was full of doubt.
It seemed to be saying: No way, me fight a Second Stage Earth-Rock Bull?
Fox-type Spirit Beasts were always intelligent. Wang Yu nodded and reminded it, "Use your newly awakened Bloodline Secret Art."
Hearing this, the Snow Jade Fox understood.
The second Bloodline Secret Art it had awakened was called [Charm], which was also a talent of the fox race. This point was the same regardless of what attribute variant it was; the Bloodline root was the same.
Its short legs moved with elegant steps, its snow-white fox tail swaying. The little thing swaggered to the edge of the Grassland and threw a flirtatious glance at the Earth-Rock Bull lying in the distance.
In the next moment, the bull's energy soared to the sky.
Visible white smoke spewed from the bull's nostrils. Whether it was an illusion or not, its yellow-brown skin actually flushed with a hint of pink, and it charged over head-on.
Wang Yu glanced at the Snow Jade Fox in astonishment.
"This little guy's Divine Sense talent is very strong."
He immediately put it back into the Spirit Beast Pouch. The clothes on his body had long been shed, and he was bare-chested. His left hand was pale white, his fingernails were dark and shiny, and there was an obvious color difference between the connection point of his shoulder and other parts of his body.
Due to the Corpse Demon Secret Art, even though Wang Yu's skin color was already very white, the difference in his left arm could still be seen.
This battle could not rely on the power of the Divine Strength Corpse Arm.
Circulating Flood Dragon Strength, Wang Yu twisted his waist. A full Seven Dragon Tendons centered on the great dragon of his spine and spread out in all directions, looking ferocious and fierce like flood dragons entering the sea.
The vague shadow of a flood dragon flashed behind him.
Facing the Earth-Rock Bull charging towards him, Wang Yu lowered his Focus and placed both palms against the bull's horns, trying to use skill to borrow strength and lift the bull Demon up.
However, reality was very different from imagination.
The Seven Dragon Tendons and the bull Demon's Strength were not in the same league at all. It felt like he was hugging a sea-stabilizing divine needle, completely immovable.
Technique was no match for brute bull force!
This result sent Wang Yu flying backwards, smashing heavily into several Ancient Trees, coughing up blood repeatedly. Before he could prepare himself, the Earth-Rock Bull charged again.
Wang Yu's expression changed. He slapped a palm on a broken tree stump, and with the reaction force, he moved horizontally several meters in mid-air. The brute bull smashed the tree stump into fragments with its head.
A bull hoof stomped fiercely from the side. Wang Yu gritted his teeth and met it with a punch. With a crack, the four fingers in front of his fist twisted unnaturally, and the bones of his forearm also dislocated.
"Without borrowing the power of the Divine Strength Corpse Arm, the difference in pure physical Strength is this big…"
Helpless, Wang Yu retreated rapidly, directly using the Night Concealment Spell + Invisibility Technique, quickly leaving this battlefield.
Losing its target, the Earth-Rock Bull went berserk and smashed the nearby Ancient Trees before raising its head and Returning to the bottom of the Cliff.
Like a triumphant general.
...
...
Cliff-Split Cave.
Wang Yu was soaking in the Hot Spring to recuperate from his injuries. Three days had passed since he physically clashed with the Foundation Establishment bull Demon. After being beaten badly, it had to be said,
the Dragon Blood Secret Medicine power accumulated in his body had been fully stimulated. Coupled with the Top-Grade Healing Pill in his hand, he had completely recovered.
"Huff—"
Leaping up from the Hot Spring and stretching his body, Wang Yu turned and entered the Stone Chamber, using the Golden Blade Whip to fiercely teach Wang Wu a lesson to vent his anger.
Feeling Refreshed in body and mind, he went out again to seek out the Earth-Rock Bull to settle the score.
This time he didn't go out for more than an hour.
Wang Yu, with a bruised nose and swollen face, had his upper body covered in bull hoof prints. His whole body was swollen to twice its size, and many bones were broken.
This second battle, he lost again, even more miserably than last time.
Similarly, the Harvesting was also greater.
With the Medicinal Power fully stimulated, he once again took a medicinal bath, practiced his Cultivation, and added the Body Refinement Cultivation feedback from Storage Slot number four every day. His speed of progress in Body Refinement could be described as rapid.
This time he rested for seven days until his injuries were completely healed.
Beat Wang Wu → Battle → Failure → Healing → Beat Wang Wu!
Maintaining this cycle of rotation, Wang Yu felt that every day was very fulfilling. He believed Wang Wu was also living a very fulfilling life, paying the price for his past misdeeds.
During the healing process, Wang Yu occasionally went out to collect Spirit Herbs.
Now that he carried a Pill Furnace with him, and with the assistance of Cold Flame Power, he could refine pills anytime, anywhere to replenish his consumption.
What he replenished were basically Top-Grade Healing Pills. There was No way around it, not only did he have to consume them himself, but there was also one in the Stone Chamber who needed to consume them. He didn't begrudge these Spirit Objects, only seeking to be Refreshed.
With a clear and thorough state of mind, it was of great benefit to Cultivation comprehension.
The two Cultivation Levels advanced side by side.
In just three months, Wang Yu advanced the Flood Dragon Strength to a higher Level, Breakthrough the Eighth Layer, reaching the "Eight Dragon Vital Tendons" Cultivation Realm.
And so.
Time flew by like a white horse passing through a gap, or like water flowing through fingertips, and three pages of life were turned in the blink of an eye.
Three years passed in an instant, and time came to Wang Yu's fourth year as an Inner Sect disciple.
Earth-Rock Bull Territory.
A pair of nemesis who had been entangled for several years once again launched a fierce fight. Even though the bull Demon's intelligence was not outstanding, it was enough to make it remember this unkillable human in front of it.
"Moo!!!"
Enemies meeting were especially eye-catching. Without the Snow Jade Fox using Charm to seduce it, it charged straight ahead with a bull rush as soon as it saw him from afar, plowing deep ravines into the Grassland.
The bull Demon, carrying violent power, charged head-on.
Wang Yu took a deep breath, his lower body rooted firmly in the Ground, his palms propped up, his face flushed red.
"Lift———"
This time the situation was a bit different. Wang Yu, whose Strength had improved significantly recently, even if Mount Buzhou was in front of him, he would spit twice in his palm.
