“Buy from where?” Listening to the excited cries of his sister, Huang Xiaolong shook his head and laughed, thinking that this Violet-Eating Spirit Monkey was a rare spirit beast, something you can't buy even if you have a lot of money.
“Hoo Hoo Ha!” The little purple monkey squeaked in protest at Huang Min for calling him ‘monkey little’, surprising Huang Min whose outstretched hand wanted to caress him.
After being startled for a moment, Huang Min widened his eyes and stared angrily at the Violet Devourer Spirit Monkey; it was the beginning of a staring contest between a little monkey and a little girl.
With great difficulty, some time later, Huang Xiaolong managed to escape from Huang Min and, looking back at the silhouette of Huang Min's departure, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Returning to his room, releasing the little monkey from his shoulder, he took out a cold jade bed from the space of the Asura Ring, and sat cross-legged on it, starting his first practice according to the first layer of Asura Tactics.
Shortly after executing the Asura Tactics technique, an evil chill appeared as if it came from the deepest hell, enveloping Huang Xiaolong within it. This spiritual energy was constantly swallowed by the two-headed snake martial spirit and then channeled into Huang Xiaolong's meridian.
As the evil chill entered Huang Xiaolong's body, he could not help but shiver, feeling like he was being buried under a thousand-foot glacier. Huang Xiaolong's heart stiffened, quickly forging his mind and will, he persevered in running the Asura Tactics to refine the cold energy.
This cold energy moved very slowly along Huang Xiaolong's meridians, every inch through which, his blood felt like it was going to freeze.
Gritting his teeth, Huang Xiaolong persisted; running the cultivation technique of the first layer of Asura Tactics, repeating it over and over again. After a long time, the cold cold sensation diminished and the energy within his body was refined into pure battle qi.
As the cold cold energy was successfully converted into battle qi, Huang Xiaolong realized that it only took half an hour. Compared to Xuan Qin's cultivation technique, the results were ten times better!
This discovery was well liked by Huang Xiaolong: “It looks like what the record says is true. Although the spiritual energy of the underworld was difficult to refine, after it succeeded, the benefits were enormous! ”
The notes kept on the back of the Asura Tactics book state that practicing the Asura Tactics is similar to establishing a connection with the spiritual energy of the underworld that makes the body angry. That cold air was, without a doubt, what was called the spiritual energy of the underworld.
The Netherworld spiritual energy was one of the superior energies between heaven and earth, the higher the quality of spiritual energy, the better it was to temper the physical body, the better it was, and the converted battle qi was much purer and stronger.
This is the gap between cultivation techniques.
The higher the rank of the cultivation technique, the higher the quality of the absorbed spiritual energy, the more powerful the converted battle qi was. In the Martial Spirit World, people who practiced high-level cultivation techniques were able to leap levels to challenge stronger opponents, it was because of this factor.
Martial spirit determined one's future strength and achievement, and the quality of cultivation techniques was equally important.
Time passed and soon a month passed.
Within this one month, apart from practicing, Huang Xiaolong was still training. The only difference was, instead of the XuanQin cultivation technique given to him by Huang Peng, Huang Xiaolong turned to practicing the Asura Tactics and Body Metamorphosis Sacred Scripture.
After replacing his cultivation technique, Huang Xiaolong's training speed increased tremendously. One month after returning from the valley, he had reached the peak of the Second Order, in the near future he would be able to break through Third Order warriors.
In the darkness of the bewitching night, silvery moonlight flowed down.
Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, the spiritual energy from the underworld flowing down from the void and being devoured by the two-headed snake martial spirit with its jaws wide open.
The battle qi within Huang Xiaolong's body continued to swirl violently like raging waves, just as he had felt when he was at the peak of the First Order breaking through to the Second Order.
However, breaking through to a Third Order warrior was much more difficult, the resistance barrier was thicker but Huang Xiaolong held on. His battle qi continued to crash into the barrier, not knowing how much time had passed, suddenly a minute crack appeared on the third level barrier.
Aware that the third order barrier was loosening, Huang Xiaolong felt excited and pushed the barrier more aggressively as the minute gap of the barrier grew larger when, finally, the sound of explosions echoed within his body.
Like a flash flood, battle qi rushed into the meridians of the third layer triumphantly!
Huang Xiaolong opened his eyes, unable to hide the excitement in his heart.
After breaking through the Third Order, the Fourth Order was not far away!
“Once I advance to the Fourth Order, I can start practicing fighting skills; and once I reach the Fourth Order, my martial spirit will flourish. At that time, skills from my martial spirit innate talent will appear! Huang Xiaolong thought to himself.
At the age of seven, the martial spirit awakened; however, the awakened martial spirit was still in its infancy. Only when battle qi reached the Fourth Order did martial spirits evolve to become stronger, while martial spirit owners would gain the talent, ability, or innate skill of martial spirits.
The higher the level of martial spirit, the innate talent after evolving would be even stronger!
But the Fourth Order is only a general indication. People with low-level martial spirits start from first, second, and third grade, due to the natural limitations of their martial spirits, more often than not, failing to break through to the Fourth Order and without any fortuitous adventure, breaking through to the Fourth Order would be a tedious challenge. That was why people with low-level martial spirits never gained any martial spirit innate talent or skill in their lives because they were unable to reach the Fourth Order. Thus, their martial spirits were unable to go through evolution.
Coming down from the cold jade bed, Huang Xiaolong walked out of his room.
At this moment of night, the misty air under the moonlight and the silhouette of Huang Xiaolong disappeared in an instant, appearing again on the back mountain. Running the Asura Tactics, his eyes turned blood red and his jet-black hair turned completely white. At the same time, a black aura of slaughter flowed all over his body.
This physique was obtained after practicing the Asura Tactics of the Asura Body, but this was only an early stage transformation. According to the explanation on the note, once Huang Xiaolong mastered the highest level of Asura Tactics, he could transform into a true Asura.
After transforming into an Asura Body, Huang Xiaolong's movements under the moonlight were similar to those of floating black clouds. Waving his hand suddenly, a palm carrying a trail of cold air struck the large tree in front, piercing through the thick tree trunk and out from the other end, through the second and third trees.
On the fourth tree trunk, the palm print of a child dents a few inches into the trunk.
Looking at the footprint of the palm on the fourth tree trunk, Huang Xiaolong nodded in satisfaction. Entering the Third Order combined with the battle qi of the underworld, the damage strength of the Ethereal Palm had increased by about fourfold and with its current strength, it was able to kill late Third Order warriors.
Of course, after advancing to the Third Order and due to the benefits of the spiritual aura of the underworld, Huang Xiaolong's physique was firmer and stronger.
Spending time practicing the Body Metamorphosis Scripture on the back mountain, Huang Xiaolong only returned to the Huang Clan Manor when the sky started to clear.
After returning to the Huang Clan Manor, Huang Xiaolong was summoned to the hall of the Eastern Courtyard by Huang Peng.
"Dad, Mom, are you looking for me?" Entering the hall of the Eastern Courtyard, Huang Xiaolong asked as he sat down.
Huang Peng and Su Yan looked complicated and hesitant.
"Yesterday, Huang Wei has broken through to the First Order warriors." Huang Peng finally opened his mouth and said.
It was only at that moment that Huang Xiaolong understood the purpose of his parents calling him. In short, they were still worried about the end of the Clan Session this year.
However, in less than two months, Huang Wei had actually advanced to the First Order, so quickly?! Logically speaking, even though Huang Wei possessed a tenth grade martial spirit, the Three-Eyed Black Tiger, it was still impossible to advance to the First Order in such a short amount of time.
"Dad spent a large sum of money at the county auction house to obtain the stalk of the thousand-year-old Leirion Heart Grass!" Huang Peng continued.
A Thousand Year Leirion Heart Grass!
Huang Xiaolong was startled and then he sneered; no wonder in less than two months Huang Wei could advance to become a First Order warrior. It was all because Grandpa Huang Qide spent a large sum of money to obtain the thousand year old Leirion Heart Grass for Huang Wei's practice. One stalk of a thousand-year-old Leirion Heart Grass was not something cheap, and it was quite clear that Grandfather Huang Qide regarded Huang Wei as a future pillar of the Huang Clan Manor. Thus expending all of his resources and efforts to cultivate it, whereas he, despite being the grandson of the same person, ignored the Leirion Heart Grass, Huang Xiaolong did not even obtain the Battle Qi Dan!
