The first volume debuts Chapter 21: Rapid Progress
The Fiery Lion not only reached the late stage of the Fusion Spirit, but also used fire magic, and was strong enough to deal with ten spirit-horned wolves. Although Li Xuanfeng was not only burned but also hit by the Fiery Lion, causing his blood to surge and causing serious injuries, but the harvest was not bad. He obtained the spirit core of the late stage of the Fusion Spirit and the body of the Fiery Lion, and became more proficient in his own magic and martial arts.
Although Li Xuanfeng's strength had reached the middle stage of the sixth level of Ling Rong, because he only focused on cultivating his spiritual power, he did not use much of his own spells and martial arts, and was unable to use them freely and exert his due strength. After fighting with the Spirit-Horned Wolf and the Flame Lion, although Li Xuanfeng's cultivation did not increase, his combat effectiveness had begun to advance by leaps and bounds.
This was the reason why the Five Elements Venerable had sent Li Xuanfeng to the trial level. Even if one's cultivation level increased rapidly by practicing blindly, he would still be a weakling if he could not fully exert his strength, just like a flower in a greenhouse that could not withstand wind and rain.
After sitting cross-legged and practicing for several hours, Li Xuanfeng finally healed his injuries and adjusted his spiritual power to the peak. He took out the body of the flaming lion and cut off a large piece for grilling. This time the grilling time was much longer than grilling the spirit horn wolf. The flaming lion was originally a fire attribute spirit beast, and its meat was extremely resistant to high temperatures. Li Xuanfeng grilled it for two hours before it was completely cooked.
Li Xuanfeng swallowed the flesh of the flaming lion in big mouthfuls. The fire attribute spiritual power in his body became active like boiling water. The flesh of the flaming lion is of great benefit to those who practice fire attribute spiritual power. It can even be sold at a high price in the trading pavilion, exceeding that of the Spirit Gathering Pill.
After eating, Li Xuanfeng condensed the fireball and even found that the flame in the fireball was more condensed and the temperature was much higher than before, approaching the temperature of the flame ejected by the Flame Lion.
After resting, Li Xuanfeng put away the formation, jumped off the tree and began to look for spirit beasts again. He also found many rare herbs on the way and carefully picked them and put them into his storage bag.
He encountered a flying spirit beast similar to an eagle, whose strength was in the middle stage of Lingrong. It swooped down from the air at high speed to attack Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng used all his strength to use the Youyun Step to cleverly avoid countless attacks. He calmly looked for opportunities while dodging, and when he got the chance he struck with all his strength. Finally, after a struggle for a while, he shot it down and killed it with the Purple Destruction Stick.
He even encountered a spirit beast that looked like a mouse but was bigger than a pig. It suddenly emerged from under his feet. Fortunately, Li Xuanfeng had been alert to his surroundings and quickly jumped back to avoid the attack.
The spirit beasts in the middle stage of Rong Ling are only strong in strength and physique, so Li Xuanfeng can deal with them easily. However, the spirit beasts in the late stage of Rong Ling have their own unique spells, which are extremely powerful and can easily get hurt if you are not careful.
A spirit beast like a wild boar appeared, but its body was covered with sharp thorns, leaving Li Xuanfeng with nowhere to attack. Even the fireball technique was ineffective against the sharp thorns and could not burn them.
After the spirit beast attacked several times and found that Li Xuanfeng could easily dodge with his extremely fast footwork, it stopped not far from Li Xuanfeng when it attacked again, and all the sharp spikes on its body suddenly shot out. Li Xuanfeng was unable to dodge and could only rely on his body skills to avoid the vital points. Fortunately, he had the golden spirit armor to protect himself.
The sharp thorn actually penetrated the Golden Spirit Armor and pierced into Li Xuanfeng's skin. If it weren't for the Golden Spirit Armor blocking it, Li Xuanfeng would probably have been pierced through.
After shooting out its sharp thorns, the spirit beast's defense was greatly reduced. Li Xuanfeng gritted his teeth and seized the opportunity to attack quickly, finally killing the beast.
After pulling out the sharp thorns, Li Xuanfeng discovered that they contained poison. Fortunately, he had prepared some detoxifying pills beforehand. However, the poison still made Li Xuanfeng feel very uncomfortable after entering his body. He took detoxifying pills and practiced for three days in the protective formation before he was able to completely expel the toxins.
After a month in the trial layer, with constant hunting, Li Xuanfeng's control over his spiritual power improved by leaps and bounds, and he was now able to perfectly control his spiritual power. After eating the entire flaming lion, the power of Li Xuanfeng's fire attribute spiritual power increased several times, and he could even add a layer of flame coat outside the golden spiritual armor, making most spiritual beasts dare not approach easily.
He had also practiced the Youyun Step to perfection. Li Xuanfeng had seen disciples in the late Rongling stage fighting in the trial layer. After comparison, he found that his own speed was actually slightly better.
Because of the increase in Li Xuanfeng's physical strength, the power of the Thunderbolt Stick Technique and the Golden Spirit Arm Armor also increased several times. The spirit beasts in the middle stage of Rong Ling with average defense could no longer withstand Li Xuanfeng's punches and sticks.
This month has been a time of great progress for Li Xuanfeng's strength. Compared to when he first entered the trial layer, his strength has increased several times, as if he had become a killing god in the trial layer. There is a faint smell of blood lingering from his body, and spirit beasts below the late stage of spiritual fusion will be scared away when they smell it. Except for a few that can fly, no spirit beast can escape Li Xuanfeng's pursuit.
Even if a spirit beast in the late stage of Rong Ling met Li Xuanfeng and smelled the blood on Li Xuanfeng, it still showed a very solemn attitude and did not dare to underestimate this boy who looked to be in the middle stage of Rong Ling.
During this month, Li Xuanfeng not only hunted spirit beasts in the trial layer under the first peak, but also went to the trial layers of the second and third peaks to hunt dozens of spirit beasts. The spirit beasts he encountered were all kinds of strange and had their own magical powers, which was one of the reasons why Li Xuanfeng's strength improved by leaps and bounds, allowing him to adapt to various attacks and learn how to deal with them.
During this month, Li Xuanfeng not only gained strength, but also had dozens of spirit cores in his storage bag, as well as many rare herbs found and picked in the jungle. If he sold them to the trading pavilion, he could get a large amount of spirit stones. However, Li Xuanfeng would rather keep them for his own use in refining pills in the future.
Although there are not many disciples coming to the trial level, for the Xuanling Sect which has tens of thousands of disciples, there are still thousands of disciples coming to the trial level. Among them, the largest number is on the first trial level because there are the most disciples in the Rongling Realm.
Although the trial layer is wide, there are still chances of meeting. During the time when Li Xuanfeng was hunting spirit beasts, several disciples saw Li Xuanfeng killing spirit beasts with their own eyes and saw his calmness, decisiveness, and strong combat power.
When the first disciple returned to the sect's central platform and told the story of Li Xuanfeng's powerful fighting ability in hunting spirit beasts, not many disciples believed it. When the second disciple appeared, a few people began to believe it. By the time the third disciple appeared, even if some disciples were unwilling to believe it, they had to acknowledge Li Xuanfeng's efforts and progress.
When the news reached Huayue Garden, Shen Hua was relieved and distressed to know that his disciples were working so hard to improve their strength. Li Xuanfeng's three brothers were also shocked, and felt that this little brother was not only gifted, but also more diligent and perseverant than his talent. At such a young age, he had already worked so hard, and it was probably only a matter of time before he surpassed them.
Li Xuanfeng's senior sister Shen Luoyan was not to be outdone and said she wanted to go to the trial level to hunt spirit beasts like Li Xuanfeng. After Shen Hua considered it again and again, he explained the precautions to her in detail and agreed with her idea.
Because Shen Luoyan's cultivation has been in the Lingrong realm for quite some time, going to the trial layer to hunt spirit beasts will help her improve her cultivation and break through to the Lingji realm as soon as possible. Moreover, the spirit beasts in the first trial layer are only in the Lingrong realm, so there shouldn't be much danger for Shen Luoyan who has reached the Lingrong realm.
When Li Xuanfeng's deeds were widely spread in the central platform, Li Xuanfeng was not aware of it at all, because he had not left the trial layer for a long time, and he searched for spirit beasts and herbs in the trial layer every day. Now he is strong enough to hunt ordinary spirit beasts in the late stage of Rongling Realm easily. It will be more difficult for him to hunt slightly stronger spirit beasts in the late stage of Rongling Realm, but he can still fight them, but it will take more time to kill them.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng found a huge cave in front of him, but he did not find any traces of spiritual beasts near the cave. Li Xuanfeng turned around without hesitation and prepared to leave. According to his experience during this period, there was a high possibility that there were powerful spiritual beasts in this cave, and they might live in groups. If he was not sure, it would be better not to enter the cave to take risks. The cave was relatively narrow, and it was difficult to move and hide.
But just as Li Xuanfeng turned around and prepared to leave, an extremely strong sound wave came from the cave, spreading at an extremely fast speed. Li Xuanfeng only felt a strong wind blowing on his face, and a strong feeling of dizziness instantly arose in his mind. Blurredly, he saw a group of black bats as big as pigeons flying out of the cave at a high speed.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he bit the tip of his tongue directly, stimulating himself with severe pain to wake up instantly. At this time, the bat was less than ten feet away from Li Xuanfeng. Just as the bat was about to bite Li Xuanfeng, Li Xuanfeng's whole body suddenly seemed to be burning with strong flames, and all the bats close to him were burned and fell.
Li Xuanfeng even condensed an extremely condensed fireball in his hand and threw it at the bats that were not close yet, setting off a huge flame, and all the bats were burned and fell. Most of these bats were in the early stage of Rong Ling, and a few were larger in the middle stage of Rong Ling. Under Li Xuanfeng's flame, which was equivalent to the late stage of Rong Ling, they were instantly destroyed.
