《Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family》


 Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Flame Cat

    Regret winced as a sharp pang shot through his body, causing him to gasp for relief in the stillness of the room. Every twitch, every shift sent ripples of excruciating pain down his spine, creating a constant torment that seemed to have no end.Lying on the bed, he glanced over to see a small, flame cat nestled close by, its bright eyes peering at him in silent concern. With a soft, adorable yawn, the flame cat stirred, its flickering flames casting a warm glow in the dim room.


    Despite the agony coursing through him, Regret managed a weak smile as he reached out to stroke the cat''s fur gently, finding comfort in the familiar touch. This flame cat was none other than his loyal spirit beast, known as Flame Cat.


    In this realm of spiritual cultivation and mystical creatures, spirit masters and spirit beasts reigned supreme. As cultivators honed their spiritual powers to ascend the ranks, they forged unbreakable bonds with their spirit beasts upon awakening their first spiritual space.


    The hierarchy of spirit masters spanned from the novice spirit disciple to the formidable spirit lord, each level representing a pinnacle of power and expertise.


    Meanwhile, spirit beasts evolved alongside their masters, growing in strength from novice level to magistrate level, commander level, and ultimately, the revered lord level.


    In this world where wild beasts freely roamed the lands, only spirit masters possessed the rare qualification to tread upon the mainland, showcasing their prowess and courage amidst the dangers that lurked at every corner.

    As for the spirit lords, they are already the top powerhouses of a city, even in the city of Veloria where Regret is located, the number of spirit lords is rare as Phoenix.


    Jumping off the bed, Regret glanced at the scars on his arm, a cold light flashing in his eyes.


    Yesterday, during his spiritual awakening, the katis family from the imperial center city suddenly arrived at this place. The person they sent was a young man named katis Van, who, with a condescending tone, wanted the Blaze family to become a vassal of the katis family. Regret was furious and got into a dispute with him.


    As a result, his arm was severely injured by his Silver Thunder Wolf''s direct bite.


    "However, I, Regret, am not one to suffer losses easily. Katis van, three years from now is the day of the kartis family''s assessment, right? By then, I, Regret, will pay a visit for sure!" Regret took a deep breath, his eyes icy.


    Looking down, Regret gazed at the flame Cat trembling its ears lightly, feeling a bit troubled.


    Flame Cat, a low-level novice, with fire attribute.


    Even among novice, there are strong and weak spirit beast. Like his cousin Qistina''s Green Vine, a medium-level novice, seems to have much stronger talent than him.


    After yesterday''s spiritual awakening, in the hearts of the Blaze family members, Regret had already been labeled as a weakling, which made countless family members extremely disappointed in him.


    After all, he is the son of the head of the Blaze family Ash.


    "Even if it''s weak, it''s still my contracted spirit beast."


    With a hint of determination in his eyes, Regret quickly bandaged the wound on his arm, then gently touched the small head of the Flame Cat, which seemed to be enjoying the attention.


    Standing up, Regret fetched a wooden basin from the cabinet, filled it with water, placed it in the center of the table, and carefully poured a bottle of pale green liquid from his pocket into it, under the curious gaze of the Flame Cat, afraid of wasting a drop.


    This pale green liquid is called Spirit Condensing Liquid, which is very beneficial for the growth of spirit beasts, but it is outrageously expensive. It is said that this small bottle costs nearly fifty gold coins, and for Regret, fifty gold coins represent several years'' worth of pocket money.


    "Do not touch," Regret admonished the Flame Cat, who was trying to dip its paw into the basin.


    The medicinal properties of the Spirit Condensing Liquid are extremely potent. Before it is fully dissolved, it is far more danger than benefit for a first-order spirit beast like the Flame Cat can handle. A minor mishap could lead to the erosion of its medicinal properties.


    Whimpering and rubbing its small paws, the Flame Cat stared at Regret with a pitiful look, its big, watery eyes filled with grievances.


    "The Spirit Condensing Liquid is a rare treasure. Unfortunately, with so many people in the Blaze family, I could only get this one bottle."


    Stirring the liquid gently with a wooden stick, Regret sighed softly. The Blaze family always believed in hard work, and as the young master of the family, he was no exception. Before having his own source of income, he, like other young people in the Blaze family, could only receive two gold coins monthly from the elders.


    These two gold coins could cover several months'' worth of expenses for many ordinary family


    The Flame Cat propped up its upper body, with its two fiery red little paws resting on the edge of the wooden basin, greedily eyeing the gradually turning green liquid, constantly licking its lips.


    "Squeak!"


    Just as Regret was lost in thought, the wooden door of the room suddenly opened, and a figure swiftly entered. After ensuring nobody saw, the figure closed the door, swiftly approaching Regret.


    "Father, why are you here?" Regret questioned in confusion, observing the middle-aged man who had entered abruptly.


    Ash casually found a chair to sit on, lightly tapped the head of the Flame Cat, and said, "Just passing the time. I just wander around to see how you''re doing." The Flame Cat, annoyed by the sudden tap on its head, let out a soft sigh. Following that, a faint red spiritual energy emerged from its body, seemingly connecting with Ash''s spiritual portal. Regret''s eyes widened in surprise.


    Ash explained, "This is spiritual resonance a bridge for communication between spirit masters and spirit beasts. When forming contracts with new spirit beasts, this process is necessary, transferring their energy to the spirit master for future use."

 Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Father love

    Looking at Regret, who was at a loss, Ash smiled faintly, waved his sleeve, and the Flame Spirit Lion, burning with flames all over its body, took a step out of the circular red spiritual portal and appeared on the ground.Shaking its majestic head, the Fire Spirit Lion lightly stepped with one front paw, and the intense flames surged, instantly melting the hard ground into a shallow pit.


    "Watch closely."


    Ash lazily raised his right hand, at the same time, several pure white strands of spiritual light swirled around his fingertips like swimming fish, exuding a pure aura.


    "This is a spiritual seal, the foundation of synchronizing spiritual power."


    Without many words, Ash flicked his fingers, and those swirling white strands of light dissipated, while the flames burning on the Fire Spirit Lion''s front paw instantly rose, the scorching temperature causing the shallow pit beneath to expand four to five times.


    "The spiritual technique that the Fire Spirit Lion comprehended at the second level, the Crazy Lion Claw, is the reason why Spirit Masters can accurately convey information to Spirit Beasts it relies on spiritual power synchronization. It may seem complex, but it all comes down to a single thought.


    The reason why the Flame Cat can receive my spiritual power is because your spiritual power has not yet assimilated with it. After you convert your spiritual power several times, my spiritual power won''t have any effect on it." Ash explained with a smile.


    "Ah, I see." Regret nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ash with some suspicion. "Father, coming so late, you''re not just here to teach me this, are you?"


    Clearing his throat, Ash glanced out the window, then reached into his clothes and, finally, to Regret''s astonished gaze,Ash placed bottles of pale green liquid on the table in sequence.


    "Is this... Condensing Spirit Liquid?" Regret''s eyes widened abruptly, the drowsiness that had just surfaced instantly disappearing. Having just come into contact with the precious elixir, he could naturally recognize it clearly.


    "Yes, it''s indeed Spirit Condensation Liquid. These are the ones I''ve secretly kept... No, I mean, the ones I''ve collected." Ash coughed again, displaying a demeanor that bore no semblance of the head of family''s authority.


    Regret, tilting his head slightly, eyed his father with suspicion. As the head of the Blaze family, every word and action of his were scrutinized by the elders. With the family treasury not under his control, how could he have amassed so much Spirit Condensation Liquid worth hundreds of gold coins?


    The only explanation lay in the recent disappearance of six bottles from the warehouse, an incident that had earned him nearly half a month of scolding from Second Elder Peter. Little did he expect that the missing Spirit Condensation Liquid would end up in his father''s possession.


    "I only did it once!"


    As his son scrutinized him, Ash''s face flushed instantly, his neck veins bulging. "Moreover, Blaze family''s possessions are all mine. Even if I took everything, Second Elder would have no say in it!"


    Looking at his father''s frustrated appearance, Regret felt somewhat amused, while at the same time there was a warm feeling in his heart. His usually stern and impartial father was only so lacking in principles when it came to him.


    "Alright, alright, figure it out yourself. Oh, and this little Cat is not as simple as you think. Just use up all of this Condensing Spirit Liquid at once, there won''t be any major issues." His father waved his sleeves and hurriedly walked towards the door, with a sense of fleeing in a hurry.


    Shaking his head and smiling, Regret looked at the Condensing Spirit Liquid on the table, glanced at the impatient Flame Cat, and then gritted her teeth, pouring all the liquid into the water. Since his father said it was fine, then it must be fine.


    "Gurgle!"


    As the liquid poured in, the originally slightly green water suddenly began to violently ripple, a strong medicinal fragrance filling the entire room.


    "Splash!"


    The Flame Cat could no longer resist the temptation. With a swipe of its small paw, it sat directly in the basin, gulping down the medicine eagerly.


    "This is not for swallowing!" Regret was startled. Just as he was about to lift the Flame Cat out, a faint red light began to radiate from its body. As the Flame Cat swallowed the liquid, the red light became even more profound. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What extraordinary qualities does this Flame Cat possess..."


    Regret sat down slowly, squinting his eyes slightly. He had a secret known only to himself and his father. When he was six years old, his father had infused a dying flame into his unformed spiritual portal. From that day on, his spiritual power had been much stronger than an ordinary person''s, to the extent that it took two years before he began to sense his spiritual awareness.


    As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. The excessive strength of his spiritual power had made it far more challenging for Regret to open his spiritual portal compared to others, by more than just a few levels.


    "No matter what you are, even if you are just a useless spirit beast, you are still my Regret''s spirit beast. I will take you with me and together we will completely crush the pride of the Katis family." Regret gently stroked the raised tail of the Flame Cat, a rare fierce look in his eyes, not like a typical of a young man.


    He couldn''t forget how Katis Van had treated his father, with that condescending tone. Katis Van actually wanted his father, who always cared about his dignity, to bow his proud head in front of a younger generation and become a humble slave of the Katis family!


    "So, i Regret will shatter that hint of pride of yours!"


    As if sensing Regret''s determination, the Flame Cat, who was crazily drinking a potion, suddenly lifted its small head. In its eyes, resembling the night sky, there twinkled a glint of light.

 Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Mutation

    The morning mist enveloped everything as they began to awaken.On the treetop in front of Regret''s house, a transparent dewdrop slowly traversed along the leaf veins, finally slid from the tip of the leaf and dripped into the eagerly awaited mouth of a water bug below.


    Inside the room, Regret rubbed his drowsy eyes, got out of bed, and was about to splash his somewhat dry face with clear water. Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught sight of a small Flame Cat sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed. His whole body froze, the clear water in his hand dripping through his fingers unnoticed.


    "No way!" S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Regret quickly walked up to the small Flame Cat, in disbelief he raised its paw. He saw the sharp claws on it were much sharper than yesterday, and the originally fiery red fur on its tail now had a dash of attractive white.


    "This... This is not a Flame Cat at all! This is a Scorching Flame Cat!"


    The Scorching Flame Cat, a high level novice class spirit beast!


    Staring at the slumbering Scorching Flame Cat, Regret''s hand couldn''t help but tremble slightly. This was a high level novice class spirit beast, after all something the entire younger generation of the Blaze family had never owned!


    "Could this little Flame Cat have mutated?"


    Regret took a sharp breath. Generally speaking, before breaking through, the grade of a spirit beast is fixed. However, there are exceptions. Some rare natural treasures growing deep in the mountains and forests, when consumed by spirit beasts, can have a chance to alter the spirit beast''s bloodline, thereby improving its grade, while its original appearance remains unchanged.


    But those chances are very slim. Most spirit beasts, even if they consume every fruit on a mountain, will not have any change in their bloodline, hence remaining novice class spirit beasts until they reach the tenth stage.


    Aside from that, there''s another, more direct method to improve their grade: mutation!


    A mutated spirit beast would not only have an elevated bloodline but would also undergo significant changes in its appearance.


    The probability of mutation is not higher than eating spiritual treasures, the entire Veloria City has not heard of any incidents of spiritual beast mutation in recent years!


    "Wu~"


    It seemed to be awakened by Regret''s vigorous movements, the Scorching Flame Cat rolled over lightly, then sat up straight with a pretty black pupil blinking.


    "Your level has actually reached the Second Rank?" Regret looked at the Scorching Flame Cat in pleasant surprise. Due to being too excited just now, he hadn''t noticed that the little Scorching Flame Cat''s level had been raised.


    During mutations, the level of spiritual beasts can also change.


    The intelligence of spiritual beasts is not much lower than that of humans. With a clear mind, the Scorching Flame Cat nodded towards Regret and then looked somewhat dejectedly at the empty wooden basin.


    The Soul Condensing Liquid has a very strong attraction for spiritual beasts below the magistrate level.


    "Such a hassle, gotta figure out a way to earn some coins."


    Regret rubbed his temples in distress. After eating some dry rations, he carried the Scorching Flame Cat perched on his shoulder and headed towards the door.


    Swish!


    Just as he stepped out, a jade green vine suddenly whipped towards them. The Scorching Flame Cat''s eyes narrowed, and its paws swiftly moved, cutting the vine into two pieces.


    The Scorching Flame Cat''s second tier mastered skill, Swift Claws!


    "Yi ya!"


    The painful groans came from the front, and the green vine was cut off and hanging in the air, trembling while staring at the Scorching Flame Cat on Regret''s shoulder with a fearful look.


    "Qistina, why is it you?" Regret looked at the girl at the door with a wry smile.


    Qistina, dressed in simple green clothes, with her long hair that was previously draped to her waist now tied up. Under the green hair that hung down her forehead, her watery big eyes were very attractive, but now they showed an extra touch of shock.


    "I just came to see you... cousin, your Scorching Flame Cat has actually reached the second rank?" Looking at the glaring Scorching Flame Cat, Qistina couldn''t help but be shocked, not realizing that the Scorching Flame Cat had already undergone a mutation.


    "Isn''t your green vine also at the second rank?" Regret picked up the piece of vine from the ground and handed it to the whimpering green vine. The latter did not hesitate, accepting it and pressing it at the broken part. The self-healing ability of wood-type spirit beasts was very strong. Such injuries could recover within a minute, with no lingering effects.


    "Last night, I spent most of the night in the back mountains, having Green Vine kill dozens of first order spiritual beasts to upgrade the Green Vine to second order," Qistina rubbed her slightly darkened eyes and said.


    To enhance the level of spiritual beasts, the fastest way is through battles, other than using items like Spirit Concentration Elixir.


    "No wonder," Regret nodded lightly, acknowledging not everyone was as fortunate as him to have a spiritual beast capable of mutation.


    "I fell tired after fighting last night, I need to rest well. Cousin, do you plan to accompany the elders in transporting goods or join Adam''s group for patrolling?" Qistina blinked her long lashes, suddenly asking.


    For young members of the Blaze family to earn gold coins, they must contribute, whether escorting goods or patrolling. After completing tasks, they receive a certain amount of gold coins, which is very safe since older Blaze family members will accompany them.


    His father once said that Blaze family members are not ones to live idly, so every spiritual practitioner in the Blaze family must has the ability to survive independently.


    "I want to go to the Blaze family''s territory to hunt and kill spirit beasts, to see if I can obtain some spirit cores," Regret said with a smile.


    Spirit cores are the core of each spirit beast, the most essential part. After consuming a spirit core of the same attribute, the spirit beast''s own spiritual power will be enhanced, which is a way to improve its own strength.


    Valuable items come with a price. These spirit cores are not cheap in the shops; typically, two first order spirit cores can be exchanged for one gold coin.

 Chapter 4: Chapter 4 First Battle

    "You want to go to the back mountain?" Qistina widened her eyes in surprise. The back mountain is a very dangerous place. Even at the outskirts, fifth order spirit beasts could appear. If it weren''t for Adam accompanying her last night, she wouldn''t even have the courage to go. And from Regret''s words, he clearly intended to go alone.The back mountain is Blaze family''s exclusive territory. Each family has specific boundaries, and if any other family dares to trespass, they will face severe retaliation.


    "Don''t worry, even if we can''t win the fight, we still have a good chance of survival."


    With a slight wave of the hand, Regret leisurely walked towards the Blaze family''s gate and in a few flashes disappeared from Qistina''s sight.


    "Forget it, we can''t argue with that guy. Let''s go rest. After waking up, we still have to follow the elder to escort the goods. The gold coins we earn should be enough to buy a bottle of Spirit Condensing Elixir."


    Qistina smiled lightly and turned towards her room, while the green vine swinging Vining Vine followed her carelessly, running unsteadily behind her, completely forgetting the pain from the vine breaking just now. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the back mountains, located in the southeast of the Blaze Family''s rear area, the ink colored mountains were layered one after another, seemingly spreading endlessly. Looking at them in the morning, the surface appeared as if draped with a light veil, faintly accompanied by the roaring sound of wild beasts.


    Referred to as the back mountains, it was actually just a general term. The peripheral area at the foot of the mountain also belonged to the back mountains. Several members of the Blaze Family were moving back and forth in the vicinity, each accompanied by a black panther.


    The Black Wind Panther, a medium ranked novice level spiritual beast.


    "Who goes there!"


    The leading young man, named Adam, suddenly turned cold, and the other men turned their heads fiercely. When they saw the newcomers clearly, they couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Adam was the captain of the Blaze Family''s guard team in the back mountains, a young man who already possessed a ninth ranked spiritual beast, showcasing remarkable strength.


    "Regret, why have you come?" Adam looked puzzled at Regret approaching, not addressing him as the young master like other family would, but calling him by name directly, which was closely related to Regret''s easygoing nature.


    "I came to hunt a few spirit beasts. Just ran short on gold coins," Regret replied with a smile.


    "But..." Adam hesitated, his face showing a dilemma. Despite missing the family gathering due to a task yesterday, he had heard about Regret awakening a useless spirit beast, making survival at the mountain''s edge uncertain. "If you need gold coins, I have three hundred here. Take them!" Adam''s face showed unwavering determination as he handed over a hefty money pouch.


    "Smack!"


    Feeling the weight of the pouch in his hand, Regret chuckled helplessly and pushed it back. "You underestimate me. Just strolling around the mountain, nothing to worry about."


    After speaking, Regret waved his hand and slowly walked towards the forest.


    "Captain, what should we do? Should we follow him?" A man who looked slightly older than Adam hurriedly asked as he watched the disappearing figure in front of him.


    "Let''s forget it. The young master has awakened a useless spirit beast. His mental state must be very fragile now. If we follow him, it will only hurt his self esteem," Adam shook his head with regret.


    "Yeah, but he''s really reckless," the man who spoke earlier also shook his head.


    "I hope he quickly hunts down a few first order low level spirit beasts and comes out soon. The wild spirit beast in the mountains behind is no joke."


    "I''ll inform the patriarch. Captain, you guys stay here for now."


    ...


    After walking a distance, the surrounding trees gradually increased. Regret wiped the sweat from his forehead and scanned the surroundings.


    "Hoo hoo~"


    On the mountain, trees were most abundant. Deeper in, visibility decreased, and the spirit beasts grew stronger. Occasionally, flying spirit beasts'' calls echoed from different directions.


    Perched on Regret''s shoulder, the petite Scorching Flame Cat was alert, ready to defend.


    "Right, I haven''t given you a formal name yet. Your fur is mostly red... Let''s call you Red ." Regret named the Scorching Flame Cat, nodding in satisfaction. Red grunted softly, ignoring Regret''s self indulgence.


    Although speaking, Regret did not forget to keep an eye on the surroundings. His nerves were constantly on edge. In the woods, a small mistake could mean not even realizing how one would die.


    "Go down. It''s time to sharpen your claws," Regret shrugged slightly, and Red on his shoulder reluctantly opened its eyes.


    "Swish!"


    Just as Red was about to jump off Regret''s shoulder, a chilling gust of wind suddenly attacked from behind. The black shadow''s claws were wrapped in a faint electric glow, directly aiming for the back of Regret''s head.


    The body of a spiritual practitioner was no match for the spiritual beast to fight one to one!


    "Dodge!"


    Regret shouted lowly. In an instant, he tilted his head, and the sharp claw wind grazed his face as it passed by. Meanwhile, Red agilely jumped up, its petite body swiftly spinning around, and the Cat claw fiercely struck down below.


    "Dong!"


    A muffled impact resounded as Red flew backward. Its small claws left several glaring marks on the ground before it stabilized its position. As for the dark shadow, it heavily crashed into a tree, then slid down the trunk, revealing itself to be a palm sized deep yellow old mouse.


    "It''s a third stage Thunder Rat!"


    Cold sweat instantly appeared on Regret''s forehead. Fortunately, his reaction was timely just now; otherwise, the back of his head would have been mostly empty now!


    Struggling to stand up, the Thunder Rat''s eyes gleamed blood-red, and threads of electricity once again enveloped its claws. Then, with a kick on the tree trunk, wood chips flew as it dashed toward the red flame like lightning.


    "It''s Thunderclap Claw, quickly dodge!" Regret urgently shouted, feeling the spiritual portal in his body starting to fluctuate slightly.


    The electrically charged claw tip rapidly enlarged in the pupils'' eyes. A hint of anger emerged in Red''s eyes towards the one who had just threatened both itself and Regret, clearly exuding a murderous intent.


    "Swoosh!"

 Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Snow Condensing Grass 1

    Not avoiding the attack, the sharp nails of Red shot out, instantly turning into a red light, directly meeting it as clusters of fiery flames rose up on the sharp claws."Hiss!"


    A sharp whistling sound echoed as two small spiritual beasts passed by each other. Red lightly landed on the ground, indifferently raised its Cat paw, the sharp nails retracting with a hiss, while the previously aggressive Thunder Mouse stiffened in place, and in the next moment, both its claws and head fell off, its body weakly collapsing to the ground.


    "Flame Claw?" Regret looked at Red in astonishment. Flame Claw was a skill usually understood by third order Scorching Flame Cats, yet Red was able to execute it at the second order, truly displaying extraordinary talent.


    Shaking its small head, Red leisurely walked to the dead Thunder Mouse, dug its claws in, and a thunder attribute core appeared in its paw. This was a third order Thunder type core, worth about three gold coins.


    Placing the core in front of Regret, Red sat halfway down, wagging its tail as if seeking praise.


    "Not bad."


    Smiling and patting Red''s head, Regret stuffed the thunder attribute spirit core into his clothes. Red couldn''t devour the thunder attribute spirit core, so it could only be sold for gold coins.


    Glancing into the distance, a fiery flame flickered in Regret''s eyes. Through the recent battle, he had roughly understood that the third order low level novice level spirit beasts were no match for Red. As long as he didn''t encounter spirit beasts of the fourth order or higher, he could roam freely around the outskirts of the mountain!


    In the quiet forest, a person and a Cat were walking slowly, with only the rustling sound echoing in the peaceful forest.


    On Regret''s shoulder, there was a substantial cloth bag. If someone were to open it and look inside, they would surely be surprised to find that it was filled with spirit cores emitting various colored lights!


    Such a quantity would be enough to make many spirit masters envious.


    However, at this moment, whether it was Regret''s clothes or the fur of Red, they were both stained with some blood. But from the parts that were stained, it was obvious that the blood did not come from them.


    "With so many spirit cores, I should be able to sell them for a good amount of gold coins."


    Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Regret''s face. Red, who was at the second rank, was considered an existence that could be easily preyed upon by many spirit beasts. This directly led to a continuous stream of spirit beasts coming from the shadows to attack. The pure spiritual power contained within the bodies of spirit masters was a rare delicacy for many spirit beasts.


    For those spirit beasts that wanted to bite their own necks, Regret did not show any mercy and had Red kill them all. While gaining a large number of spirit cores, Red''s strength also gradually showed signs of advancing towards the third rank.


    Suddenly, Regret''s steps abruptly stopped, and Red''s eyes narrowed. With both legs pushing off Regret''s shoulders, Red instantly dashed into a thicket of bushes.


    "Rustle!"


    A bush shook for a moment, and then Red walked out with a spirit beast in its mouth. It was a third order Snowflake Rabbit, completely snow white with fur as clean as dust, looking extremely beautiful. However, at this moment, it was trembling with fear, its black gem like eyes filled with dread.


    "Sigh." Regret waved his hand helplessly.


    The Snowflake Rabbit was quite timid, never having heard of any incidents of spiritual masters being attacked by it, making it one of the most gentle spirit beasts.


    Receiving Regret''s instructions, Red obediently nodded and gently placed the Snowflake Rabbit on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, the rabbit hurriedly turned around and disappeared in this area as if fleeing, leaving behind a faint trace of white snowflakes in its wake.


    Just as they were about to continue forward, Regret suddenly paused, as if he had remembered something, his breath becoming rapid.


    Snowflake Rabbits were a rare type of spirit beast, seldom seen by people. Regret had heard from his tribe that wherever Snowflake Rabbits were active, there was usually a kind of spirit herb called Snow Condensing Grass. This herb was quite rare, and even large commercial stores couldn''t find more than a few plants.


    Looking up slowly, Regret''s eyes lit up as he spotted a white spirit herb growing at the top of an ironwood tree. This herb consisted of three leaves, each surrounded by a thin mist ¨C it was indeed Snow Condensing Grass!


    "Red, go up and pick it." Regret''s face flushed with excitement. After ensuring there was no danger around, he quickly pointed to the top of the tree.


    Shaking off a few grass leaves stuck to its body, Red turned and climbed up the trunk. Within a few breaths, it reached the Snow Condensing Grass and gently scraped the stem with its claws, causing it to float down.


    With a smile, Regret caught the Snow Condensing Grass, feeling a sudden chill spreading through his palm and entire body.


    "This Snow Condensing Grass is quite valuable; the price of one is equivalent to dozens of fifth order spirit cores."


    The cold temperature made Regret shiver involuntarily. With a faint smile, he placed the Snow Condensation Grass on top of a pile of spirit cores. Just as he was about to return with Red, who had leaped down from the treetop, an angry beast roar suddenly came from deep within the forest, scaring countless birds into scattering.

    "Whoosh!"


    A rapid sound of something breaking through the air echoed through the forest. Then, a giant silhouette swung down from the sky on a thick vine, crashing heavily onto the ground. Amid the ensuing dust, and with the help of the faint light filtering through the trees, Regret finally got a clear look at the approaching creature.

 Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Snow Condensing Grass 2

    "Snow Ape." He spoke the name with a slightly tense expression, and his heart sank instantly.The Snow Ape, an ice attribute spirit beast of the low level novice class, seemed to be around the fifth grade based on its size. Due to its physical advantage, the Snow Ape was extremely powerful, making it a particularly tough opponent among low level novice class spirit beasts.


    It was evident that this beast was here for the Snow Condensation Grass.


    The moment the Snow Ape appeared, Red''s body tensed up, its gaze fixed intently on the massive figure before it. Intense flames burned on its claws, scorching the ground upon contact.


    Taking a light breath, Regret''s eyes turned slightly sharp. Since Red wanted to fight, they had no choice but to take down this big guy!


    "Roar!"


    With a mighty roar, the Snow Ape charged at Red with earth-shaking steps. Its five fingers clenched tightly before it suddenly punched forward. The force of this dominant strike even caused the space ahead to emit several whistling sounds.


    Bending its hind legs slightly, it leapt high into the air. Red grabbed the snow ape''s arm, the body twisting in mid-air, landing steadily on the latter''s shoulder. Without hesitation, a claw swiped towards the snow ape''s eyes, but the snow ape''s reaction was extremely fast. Its head slightly turned, white fur fluttered, and its sturdy fist ruthlessly hit Red''s claws.


    "Wu!"


    Thrown backward, Red winced in pain, gasping a breath, feeling the looming shadow above. Quickly rolling on the ground, the snow ape''s fist heavily pounded where Red had been before, causing faint cracks to spread along the pit below the fist.


    "Red, move around behind the snow ape''s body and attack with Flame Claw!"


    Regret maintained his composure, quickly identifying the snow ape''s weakness. Although this spirit beast was powerful, its agility was pitifully low, unable to keep up with the nimble movements of Red.


    With a glint in its eyes, the crimson flame fiercely stomped the ground, gliding under the snow ape''s crotch. The sharp claws brought up a red glow, tearing the back of the snow ape''s heel, causing blood to flow profusely.


    Howling in pain, the snow ape instinctively turned to attack; the snowflakes swirling around its fist seemed to form a small vortex, creating a suction force that burst out.


    "Swoosh!"


    Rising upward, Red''s eyes flashed with cold light, enduring a punch from the snow ape. With blood spilling from its mouth, its sharp Cat claws drew a mysterious arc in the air and straightaway pierced into the snow ape''s throat.


    "Splurt!"


    Blood splattered everywhere.


    Staring blankly at Red flickering under its own throat, the snow ape''s already pale face suddenly turned incredibly pale.


    With indifferent eyes, it withdrew its sharp claws, and Red lightly leaped, landing on the snow ape''s soft fur in the moment it fell to the ground. The fresh blood overflowing from the corner of its mouth stained the snow ape''s pristine fur quite vividly.


    As a fire attribute spirit beast, a spirit beast with extremely restraining attributes, the second order Scorching flames Cat were able to defeat the fifth order snow ape not only due to its superior grade but also because of the restraint between attributes.


    Of course, even in death, the snow ape never expected Red to be so lunatic, willing to be heavily injured just to kill it.


    Tenderly cradling Red in his arms, Regret quickly took out a bottle of healing medicine from his clothes, sprinkling the medicine powder evenly over its body. This kind of healing medicine was a specialty of the Blaze family, capable of quickly restoring a spirit beast''s injuries.

    Comfortably lying in Regret''s arms, the petite body of Red suddenly emitted a faint fiery red glow, like a beautiful halo of light.


    "It broke through to the third rank!"


    Regret breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face. After a day of training, Red finally broke through the constraints of the second rank and entered the realm of the third rank.


    After breaking through, Red'' wounds had mostly healed. It jumped up from Regret''s arms, It little claws resting on the latter''s shoulder, wobbling unsteadily, before finally flipping over and sitting on Regret''s shoulder.


    By this time, dusk had arrived, and the light in the forest had noticeably dimmed. Experienced spiritual masters knew that the nights in each mountain range were extremely terrifying; the dangers hidden during the day would begin to emerge one by one.


    After sweeping the large cloth bag behind him, Regret felt a slight headache. With so many spirit cores, carrying them back like this would be exhausting, he reckoned he might just collapse from fatigue.


    Shaking his head, Regret brushed off those thoughts from his mind and quickly walked towards the edge of the forest. He was quite pleased in his heart, as today was indeed a big harvest. The gold coins he received could at least ensure he wouldn''t have to worry about Spirit Condensing Liquid for some time


    "Captain, it''s already so late, why hasn''t young master come out yet? Could something have happened to him?" On the outskirts of the back mountain, a member of the Blaze family looked anxiously at the mountains that stretched like ink.


    "Sigh, I have no idea what the clan leader is thinking. When I informed him, he just nodded and asked me to come back." Another person said disappointedly. Although the outskirts of the back mountain are not particularly dangerous for them, it is undoubtedly deadly for a newly awakened spiritual disciple, especially considering that Regret awakened a useless spirit beast with no combat capability!


    "No, it''s getting darker. Mark, bring your Great tailed Dark Bat with me, the rest of you stay here and guard!" After a moment of contemplation, Adam''s patience had reached its limit. Although leaving post without permission violated the family''s rules, compared to Regret''s safety, it was just a minor punishment that we will received from the family.

 Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Warning

    Saying that, Adam was about to enter the back mountain with a member of the Blaze family, but as they took their first step, Adam saw a slightly thin figure carrying a large cloth bag slowly approaching them. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."Regret?" Adam raised his eyebrows in surprise.


    "What, you already don''t recognize me after just a short time?" Regret chuckled, flicked his arm lightly, and the heavy cloth bag landed with a thud on the ground, kicking up dust.


    "Regret, you''re... fine?" A young man named ken looked at the teenager in front of him with a puzzled expression.


    He thought that when he saw Regret again, the latter would at least be in a sorry state, but now, apart from some slightly torn clothes, he looked surprisingly clean.


    "What could possibly happen to me?" Regret smiled, glanced at the spirit beast crouching on ken''s shoulder, the Great Tailed Black Bat, a medium novice level spirit beast estimated to be around the Seventh Rank. He remembered that ken''s previous spirit beast was of a lower grade, so there must have been something happen that led to his contract with the Great Tailed Black Bat.


    Apart from the contracted spirit beast, the only way to tame more spirit beasts was through such contracts. When a Spirit novice advances to a Spirit warrior, another spiritual space will emerge within the body. To get new spirit beasts, one must form a contract.


    The contract between a Spirit Master and a spirit beast is also known as a spirit contract.


    "It''s good that you''re fine." Ken breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that Regret was intact.


    "By the way, what''s in this big bag? Could it be some kind of medicinal herb?" Adam looked at the slightly deformed cloth bag on the ground filled with items, sounding somewhat curious.


    "Ding!"


    While speaking, a worn out part of the cloth bag suddenly protruded a fifth rank spirit core, dropping crisply amid shocked gazes. This fifth rank spirit core was the one Regret tossed in after killing the snow ape.


    "This... a fifth rank spirit core?" Adam''s voice abruptly stopped as he saw the bag collapse softly, scattering numerous shiny spirit cores on the ground. Adam and the Blaze family members were stunned by the sight of the pile of spirit cores, as silence fell over the Blaze family territory. After a moment, Adam and the others regained their senses, staring incredulously at Regret.


    "Did you strike it rich?" Adam blurted out nervously,he unable to collect as many spirit cores in a day, some were even third or fourth rank, including a fifth rank. He was inclined to believe Regret stumbled upon a buried treasure from a spirit master.


    Though not rare to fifth rank cores, considering Regret only awakened his spirit yesterday , also a Flame Cat whose abilities initially lagged even low rank spirit beasts more stood out than it. Feeling slighted, Red tugged at Regret''s hair, prompting Adam to notice the difference.


    "That''s not right, this isn''t a Flame Cat. It looks like... like a scorching Flame Cat!" Adam''s excited voice trailed off, and he even felt somewhat ridiculous himself. The Scorching Flame Cat was a high ranking novice level spirit beast and extremely rare. He had only ever heard of it but never actually seen one before.


    "If I''m not mistaken, it really does seem like a Scorching Flame Cat," Regret said with a faint smile. Without revealing the truth, it seemed like there would be no legitimate explanation for the source of these spirit cores today.


    With Regret''s confirmation, several members of the Blaze family felt a bit dizzy. A high ranking novice level spirit beast was still a distant existence for them, yet Regret, who had just awakened his spiritual senses yesterday, already possessed one!


    "Ken, go get another sack. Make sure it''s the sturdiest one!" Adam, worthy of a captain, quickly recovered from the shock, forced a wry smile, and waved at the near dazed Ken.


    Ken , with a peculiar expression, glanced at Regret, then stiffly fetched a sturdy sack from a pile of miscellaneous items. He began collecting the scattered spirit cores from the ground one by one.


    Regret''s lips moved as he intended to share some of the spirit cores with Adam and others, but thinking about the strength of their spirit beasts, he gave up on the idea. Even a fifth tier spirit core would be of little use to their spirit beasts.


    "Regret, do not reveal that you have a high ranking novice level spirit beast," Adam said sternly. The city of Veloria wasn''t solely dominated by the Blaze family; family like the Snow, Sky, and Met also had considerable power, not inferior to the Blaze family.


    Among these, there was a particularly unique force: the Angsana Pavilion. Every spiritual practitioner in Veloria City knew that the Angsana Pavilion was a neutral organization, present in every corner of the town. Aside from making money, they did not engage in ordinary disputes or battles.


    The Blaze, Snow, Sky, and Met families frequently interacted with each other. However, the interactions between the Blaze and Snow families were not particularly friendly. From Regret''s earliest memories, the Blaze and Snow families had been engaged in both open and covert conflicts.


    If someone from the Snow family learned that Regret owned a high ranking novice level spirit beast while still a spiritual novice, they would undoubtedly be on edge.


    The only way to eliminate this unease is to find an opportunity to get rid of Regret and kill off the Scorching Flame Cat!


    So, Adam attached great importance to this matter.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not a child anymore. Except at the Blaze family, I won''t show the Scorching Flame Cat to anyone else." Regret picked up the cloth bag from the ground and slung it over his shoulder, rejecting Adam and the others'' offer to escort him. He lazily waved his hand, and with the excited Red beside him, he leisurely walked towards the Blaze family.

 Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Purple Demon Tree Fruit

    "Captain, do you think the clan leader replaced Regret''s spirit beast?" Ken still couldn''t believe it."You fool!" Adam chuckled and scolded, "Do you think a newly awakened spirit master can withstand the spiritual power resonance of a high level novice class spirit beast? It''s a miracle the spirit portal didn''t burst!"


    "But this is still unbelievable," Kena grumbled in frustration.


    "Anyway, today''s matter is not to be mentioned again. Get to work quickly and watch out for spirit beasts running out from the back mountain."


    "Yes!"


    As night fell, within the depths of the mountains, the roars of several spirit beasts faded away. The edge of the back mountain regained its calm once more.


    Carrying a large sack that seemed completely mismatched with his own stature, Regret strolled leisurely down the street. Various curious gazes were irresistibly drawn towards him, but thankfully the spirit master in this area were aware of his identity as the young master of the Blaze family. Despite their curiosity, no one dared to approach him.


    "Did you hear? The young master of the Blaze family awakened his spirit power yesterday."


    "We''ve known for a while now. The news has been spreading like wildfire in veloria City. Turns out the spirit beasts awakened by the young master is a waste spirit beast. What a pity, wasting so many resources of the Blaze family."


    "Be careful! You might get into trouble if the people from the Blaze family hear you!"


    The person who spoke earlier felt the surrounding stares, and his scalp tingled. After nervously glancing at Regret from the corner of his eye and realizing that Regret hadn''t turned around, he let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.


    The onlookers unconsciously moved a bit further away, fearing to get involved in the situation.


    With a profound spiritual power stronger than that of ordinary spirit master, Regret naturally heard these words clearly. However, his calm eyes, as dark as the night, remained unperturbed by the opinions of others, except for those of his own kin.


    Just as his right foot was about to step through the gate, Regret''s eyes slightly narrowed. In front of him, a plain looking elderly man in a white robe was evaluating him up and down with a sly gaze. When his gaze fell on the Red on Regret''s shoulder, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.


    "Poor Ash, his son turned out to be such a useless thing. Tragic and laughable."


    Shaking his head and sneering, the old man flicked his sleeves, turned around, took a few steps and walked away, disappearing from Regret''s sight in a few moments.


    Red rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned over and went back to sleep. The fire red tail wrapped around Regret''s neck, and the faint white fur was perfectly concealed.


    "Second Elder, who was that person?" A man next to him walked over, it was Peter who presided over the spiritual awakening yesterday. Regret respectfully bowed and then asked.


    "Oh, that old guy." Peter shrugged, sounding a bit impatient. "Just a lackey from central city that stay at the Blaze family this morning, this old guy followed closely behind. I told Ash to drive him away, but for some reason, Ash decided to let him stay."


    Upon hearing this, Regret''s mouth twitched. If anyone in the Blaze family lacked the demeanor of an elder, it was undoubtedly the Peter standing beside him, repeatedly calling the old man. It seemed like he was even older than the previous elder...


    Moreover, within the entire Blaze family, this was the only person who dared to insult Ash. Even the Grand Elder didn''t talk in such a disrespectful manner.


    "By the way, that old guy seems to be called Sivan. If my guess is correct, he was sent by Kartis to monitor you, especially after you hinted at something yesterday. Although the chance of it being true is practically zero, it''s better to be safe, isn''t it?" Peter shrugged and said. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Listening to this blunt comment, Regret gave Peter a silent glare. This Second Elder was good in many ways, except for being a bit inconsiderate of others'' feelings.


    "By the way, what happened to your clothes? They are quite damaged. Were you bullied by someone?" Peter''s voice abruptly rose several levels, a hint of killing intent swirling in his eyes.


    "It''s nothing, I just went out for a while." Regret smiled and shrugged his shoulders, not planning to reveal too much to the Second Elder because he wasn''t sure if Sivan could hear them.


    "Hmph, in the entire Veloria City, the only one daring to bully me, the young master of the Blaze family, is that brat from the Snow family. Take this, if he dares to pick on you, use this to teach him a lesson!" After looking around discreetly, Peter quietly tucked an item into Regret''s clothes, then nonchalantly left the place with a few members of the Blaze family.


    Feeling curious, Regret took advantage of others'' inattention, opened his clothes, and took a peek. His eyes instantly brightened it was a green fruit with slightly deep patterns crisscrossing its surface, emitting a faint spiritual power fluctuation.


    "The Purple Demon Tree Fruit?" Regret marveled to himself.


    The Purple Demon Tree Fruit grows on the Lord level spiritual beast, the Purple Demon Tree. Each tree can grow a maximum of three fruits, and when faced with danger, the tree will throw these fruits to explode, severely injuring enemies. Even Spiritual Monarch level spiritual beasts would be blown to pieces, let alone novice level beasts.


    This fruit is extremely rare; not even the Angsana Pavilion could find more than a few, and it''s unknown where Peter managed to get it from.


    Licking his lips, Regret strode into the room and threw the thick bag onto the ground before falling asleep, with Red squirming its petite body, slipping into Regret''s embrace comfortably for a sweet slumber.


    For Regret, who had just become a Spiritual novice, a day of battle full of intensis, with spiritual exhaustion no less than directly fighting a spiritual beast.

 Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Snow Feng 1

    As the Silver Moon slowly climbed the dark sky, as if carried by an invisible hand, some spiritual beasts that wouldn''t appear during the day began to gradually stir in the courtyard in front of Regret''s room."Woo~"


    Morning soon arrived, the Red yawned comfortably, then habitually rolled to its side, but plop!, it hit the bed with a thud. Rubbing its little head, the drowsiness it felt instantly dissipated.


    Sitting at the table and enjoying his meal, Regret couldn''t help but smile as he watched the scene. Red grunted, then leaped onto the table and carefully tore into a skewer of meat, glancing at the fur on his chest after each bite, afraid of getting any grease on it.


    Regret smacked his lips. Spirit beasts like the Scorching Flame Cat were known for being proud and delicate creatures in the spirit beast world, making them difficult to handle. It was hard to imagine that the proud Red had just yesterday unhesitatingly thrust its claws into the throat of a Snow Ape.


    After finishing his meal and carrying a bag filled with spirit cores on his back, accompanied by the Red wrapped around his neck, Regret stepped out of the Blaze family gate.


    The Blaze family also had a market in Veloria City, but the shops there mainly dealt with spirit beasts. Whether it was a spiritual novice whose primary spirit beast died in battle or a spiritual warrior looking to form a second spiritual contract, it was often difficult for them to find their desired spirit beast in a short period.


    The Blaze family market was their best choice, as the spirit beasts there were never in short supply due to their backing by the mountains.


    As Regret walked slowly along the street, it was no surprise that many spiritual masters, upon seeing him, displayed strange expressions on their faces. Although the disrespectful types from the day had disappeared, the sympathetic looks on their faces were just as embarrassing, if not more so, than mocking remarks.


    "Atlas Store."


    It wasn''t until Regret reached a large store that he finally stopped. The Atlas Store was part of the Angsana Pavilion''s influence, one of the few larger stores in Veloria City under the Angsana Pavilion''s name. The trading prices were fair, and there had never been any reports of customer exploitation.


    However, in Veloria City, the Angsana Pavilion''s influence was stronger than the four major families. It was precisely because of this that the four major families tacitly agreed to the Angsana Pavilion''s development in Veloria City.


    "Atlas Store, my road to success in the days to come will rely on you." Muttering softly to himself, Regret shook the bag on his shoulder, which was about to slip off, and headed towards the gate of the Atlas Store. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Atlas Shop, although it looks like an ordinary shop on the surface, as soon as Regret stepped inside, he was taken aback. At the forefront was a dark blue counter, behind which sat a slightly chubby middle aged man, idly tapping on a shiny gold coin, his eyes lazy.


    What shocked Regret even more was the scene behind the counter, a screen seemed to separate two worlds. Behind that screen, countless stalls were neatly arranged, displaying all kinds of medicinal herbs, elixirs, and spirit cores. Figures moved back and forth at the stalls, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere echoing through the spacious shop.


    "This scale is quite impressive." Regret marveled silently. If a Atlas Shop was like this, he could hardly imagine what the most prosperous Angsana Pavilion in Veloria City would be like.


    The middle aged man lifted his head, looking at Regret who entered carrying a large cloth bag. His gaze flickered slightly, and he couldn''t help but sense the surging energy within the bag, despite its barrier against spiritual energy.


    "Hello, I''m the shopkeeper here, Mark. What can I help you with?" His sleeve brushed past as the shiny gold coin disappeared into the counter. A professional smile appeared on the middle aged man''s face, and his tone was very courteous.


    "Oh, who do we have here? Isn''t this Young Master Blaze Regret from the Blaze family?"


    Before Regret could respond, a sharp mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind. Passersby who were nearby couldn''t help casting a glance at Regret. The distance between the Atlas Shop and the Blaze family was not short, and there were many people here who didn''t know him.


    "Snow Feng." Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Regret''s brow furrowed imperceptibly. This Feng was the little troublemaker from the Snow family that Peter mentioned. He was very arrogant, and due to the relationship between the Blaze and Snow family, he often opposed Regret.


    The sound of footsteps grew clearer, and Feng stood imposingly in front of Regret. He had a quite handsome face, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of provocation and pride.


    Behind Feng, a centipede with an unknown number of legs was rubbing against the floor, making a hissing sound that felt like scratching at one''s heart, causing a tingling sensation all over the body.


    Centipede, a mid level novice level spiritual beast.


    "Fourth rank."


    Based on the patterns on the centipede''s shell, Regret easily judged the strength of Feng''s spiritual beast.


    "Oh, this is the legendary beast,Flame Cat. Seeing is believing. It''s really powerful. Look at my centipede, all trembling in fear." Glancing at the Red hanging around Regret''s neck, Feng''s mocking tone grew stronger. When he heard that Regret''s spiritual beast was a Flame Cat, he almost laughed out loud.


    If there was someone against whom he had the most difficulty in Veloria City, it was undoubtedly Regret.


    Regret withdrew his gaze calmly, ignoring Feng''s provocations.


    The status of the young master of the Blaze family and the young master of the Snow family in Veloria City goes without saying. In the moment they made contact, most of the eyes in the Atlas Shop turned to them. When Regret remained silent despite the provocation, many people shook their heads.


    Blaze Ash had been dominant in Veloria City for more than a decade, and not even the Snow family dared to underestimate him. It was unexpected that in the end, it was the issue of his offspring that he lost on.

 Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Snow Feng 2

    Being ignored by Regret, Feng also felt a bit bored. But when he saw the big bag behind Regret, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Regret, what''s in that ragged bag of yours? I know you''re feeling down after being ruined, but you can''t be so despondent as to pick up trash. You''ve really disgraced the Blaze family''s reputation!"Finishing his words, Feng shook his head with a sigh, as if he sympathized with Regret''s situation. Then, he patted his clothes, took out several spiritual cores wrapped in spiritual energy, and placed them on the counter.


    "Hiss, three fourth rank spiritual cores, and six third rank spiritual cores?"


    Many spirit masters took a sharp breath. Feng''s Centipede is a Tier 4 spiritual beast, and the fact that it managed to kill three spiritual beasts of the same rank indicates its considerable strength. Indeed, the young master of the Snow family is no ordinary person.


    "These spirit cores are just something I casually collected during my training. Alas, it''s a pity. You won''t have any chance for such training if you don''t discard that Flame Cat," Fang said with a tone of mock pity as he taunted Regret, spinning three Tier 4 spirit cores in his hand without any attempt to mask his derision.


    "Three Tier 4 spirit cores, six Tier 3 spirit cores, for a total of twenty-one gold coins," Mark said flatly, then pulled out a small handful of gold coins from a drawer, placing them on the counter. With a gentle wave of his hand, the spirit cores, still slightly warm from Feng''s touch, neatly fell into various jade boxes.


    The spiritual energy contained within a spirit core diminishes over time. These jade boxes could securely lock in the spiritual energy of the cores to prevent leakage.


    "As a token of our past friendship, and considering you won''t be able to compete with me in the future, I''ll give you this gold coin," Feng said, patting Regret on the shoulder and provocatively tossing a gold coin in front of him.


    "Clang!"


    Just as Feng moved his hand, Regret''s arm moved subtly, and the pouch filled with spirit cores landed heavily on the counter with such force that it made Feng involuntarily shiver. The coin fell to the ground, rolling away with a tinkling sound.


    "What are you doing?" Feng began to outburst, but the words caught in his throat. His eyes widened in shock, and his open-mouthed expression looked particularly ridiculous.


    The spirit cores spread out on the counter like a small mountain. At that moment, the bustling noise in the shop seemed to dissipate entirely. Everyone stared in a daze at the shimmering spirit cores, as if those cores were the entire world.


    "Boss, give me an estimate," Regret said with a faint smile as he gently stroked the head of Red.


    "Th..this is impossible!" Feng''s face turned as red as a pig''s liver, and his voice sounded slightly rushed.


    "Regret, you collected spirit cores for so long just to mess with me, didn''t you? You really put in a lot of effort just to embarrass me," Feng sneered as he finally found a reason he could believe.


    "Judging by the spiritual power fluctuations inside these spirit cores, they were all obtained just yesterday. They also bear a faint, restrained flame aura, along with slight claw marks on the surface. If I''m not mistaken, these were all hunted by your spirit beast, weren''t they?" Mark''s eyes finally showed a hint of surprise as he analyzed, looking at the flame red beast around Regret''s neck.


    "Senior Mark, you have a keen eye. I truly admire you," Regret responded with a smile and a respectful salute. With Regret''s confirmation, the surroundings immediately became noisy, and voices filled with disbelief erupted everywhere. The eyes that looked at Regret became complicated, no longer showing the previous disdain.


    Feng''s eyelid twitched, and an endless fury erupted in his eyes. The multi legged centipede at his feet suddenly reared up its hideous body, poised with legs moving quickly, ready to tear Regret apart at any moment.


    "Thinking of making a move?" Regret couldn''t help but laugh.


    Fighting in the Atlas shop was akin to seeking death. Even without him taking action, someone would come and throw Feng out. They wouldn''t care about Feng''s status as the young master of the Snow family.


    "You''ve got guts. Next time we meet, you won''t be so lucky."


    Suppressing the anger in his heart, Feng let out a cold snort, turned around, and pushed through the layers of people around him. The strange looks he received made him feel like he was being pricked by a thousand needles.


    "Your coin!" Regret picked up the coin that had fallen to the ground, smiled, and threw it towards Feng.


    The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and in Feng''s eyes, a coldness surged up. "Daring to make me lose face in front of many people, you useless fool, better not give me a chance to catch you, or you''ll regret it!"


    "Everyone, blocking the entrance of Atlas Shop, my small business can''t afford this loss."


    Mark chuckled, and the onlookers, after a polite gesture, quickly dispersed. Despite Mark appearing to be just a shopkeeper, with Atlas shop backing him, even the usually arrogant Feng dared not cause trouble here, let alone them.


    "Please wait a moment, sir. Due to the abundance of spirit cores you have, I need some time." Mark smiled and gestured, prompting a waiter to quickly bring a chair from behind the counter and place it respectfully behind Regret.


    "Thank you." Nodding, Regret pulled the chair and sat down without hesitation, watching as Mark carefully sorted the spirit cores.


    Mark ''s skills as the manager of the Atlas Shop were indeed impressive. Since Regret entered the shop, his demeanor and actions subtly sparked a favorable impression. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Mr. Regret, here are one fifth grade spirit core, thirty four fourth grade spirit cores, one hundred seventy two third-grade spirit cores, in addition to first and second grade spirit cores, totaling four hundred and nine gold coins."

 Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Pet Encyclopedia

    As Mark finished speaking, he couldn''t help but hum lightly to himself. Four hundred and nine gold coins was no small amount for him. It was difficult to imagine how the young man in front of him managed to obtain so many spirit cores."So many..." Regret''s expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was inwardly surprised. Then, a hint of worry clouded his face. Four hundred gold coins? Did he have to carry such a large bag of gold coins around the streets?


    Sensing Regret''s concern, Mark pondered for a moment. He then waved at a waiter, and soon, a light green card was carefully handed to Regret.


    "What is this?" Regret looked puzzled at Mark.


    With a faint smile, Mark explained, "This is a gold coin card. The gold coins you earned from trading the spirit cores has been fully stored in it."


    Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment briefly crossed Regret''s face. He was familiar with gold coin cards but had never seen one before. Owning a gold coin card was a symbol of status and identity, and due to its quality, the price of such a card was not cheap. A small card like this would cost nearly three hundred gold coins, and ordinary spirit masters couldn''t afford to buy such a thing.


    "Thank you, Shop manager Mark." Regret was not sentimental and directly placed the gold coin card in his clothes. The assistant beside him, however, showed a slight hint of excitement. It was clear that Mark was trying to win over Regret.


    Setting aside Regret''s identity, just the fact that he harvested so many spirit cores in one day which including a third rank spirit beast, fourth and fifth ranks spirit core, is enough to demonstrate Regret''s potential. Anyone calling the young man in front of them trash must be a fool.


    In the entire Veloria City, there were very few individuals who could catch Mark''s attention. Now, even a lowly spirit disciple was being treated with such respect. Even the assistant who had been working at the Atlas Store since birth couldn''t help but feel jealous.


    After bowing to Mark, Regret walked towards the screen with a bit of excitement in his heart, carrying Red. Behind the screen was the most fascinating part of the Atlas Store.


    "Ash Blaze''s son, Ash, Ash." Mark sat back in his chair, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, seemingly lost in a memory.


    As soon as Regret passed the screen, the voices around him grew louder. Calls for buying and bargaining prices filled his ears. Regret looked strangely at the screen; he hadn''t expected the inconspicuous thing to have soundproofing capabilities.


    Walking through the store, surrounded by a bustling crowd, Regret couldn''t help but feel emotional. No wonder even his father said the wealth of the Angsana Pavilion was unimaginable. Just in the Atlas Store alone, the daily trade volume was no less than that of the Blaze family''s market. After all, the demand for spirit beasts was far less than that for spirit cores and spirit condensing fluids.


    Aside from the store''s assistants, there were many outside vendors in the Atlas Store. Most of the booths in the Atlas Store were rental based; as long as one paid a certain amount of gold coins, anyone could set up a booth there without worrying about unruly customers causing trouble. Those who acted recklessly here would surely pay an unforgettable price. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gazing quickly around the various stalls, Regret soon found his target: a stall selling a large quantity of spirit condensing fluids. Red had just broken through to the third level, so the need for spirit condensing fluid was urgent. Only by stabilizing his spiritual power could Red breakthrough to the fourth level soon.


    Although Red''s strength had improved, the demand for spirit condensing fluid wasn''t as terrifying as it was in the beginning. Just a few small bottles were enough to fully stabilize it spiritual power.


    Slightly feeling sore, Regret handed out three hundred gold coins and carefully received six bottles of Condensing Spirit Liquid, then placed them in a jade box given by Mark. The reason Mark give him the box, because that next time Regret sells Spirit Core, it can ensure the purity of the Spirit Core.


    Moving his little nose, Red excitedly swept the jade box with his tail. If it weren''t for Regret''s intervention, Red might have publicly swallowed a few bottles.


    With the mission accomplished, Regret felt much more at ease. Slowly entering the inner layer of the Atlas Shop, the deeper one went, the more precious the items sold were. Therefore, those who could afford to consume here were often powerful spirit masters and wealthy youths, with much fewer people than the outer layer.


    Looking at a prodigal buying items recklessly, Regret shook his head. Young people from the four major families would never do such things, even Feng wouldn''t. The hardships they endured were far greater than those prodigals.


    Passing several stalls, Regret''s scanning gaze suddenly focused on a fiery red spiritual plant. He instantly recognized its origin, Flame Spirit Grass, a top grade spiritual plant with significant benefits for the cultivation of fire based spiritual beasts, enhancing their strength in a short time, albeit rarer than Snow Condensation Grass.


    "Young master has a keen eye. This Flame Spirit Grass took me a great effort to find on a mountain cliff. My spiritual beasts suffered heavy injuries to collect this spiritual plant!" Seeing Regret''s interest, the lean stall owner immediately perked up and smilingly tried to please Regret.


    "Name your price." Regret casually said, and as his gaze continued to move over the stall, his eyelids suddenly twitched. He asked, "Wait, what is this?"


    Regret was referring to a very old looking book, but the two large words on the cover were exceptionally clear: Pet Encyclopedia.


    "Oh, this thing, I found it in a cave. It contains records of various spiritual beasts. If you want it, let''s say five hundred gold coins." The lean stall owner''s smile looked sincere but also revealed some hard to hide craftiness.

 Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Spirit Crystal

    "Five hundred gold coins, do you want to grab it?" Regret was startled. Usually, books recording spirit beasts only cost a few coins, but the one on the stall was much thicker than any he had seen before."Don''t rush, young master. This beast record is not that simple. Besides spirit beasts, it also contains the spirit skills they can master. In the entire Veloria City, there might be only this one." The lean stall owner continued to enthusiastically introduce.


    "Too expensive, two hundred," Regret said decisively after hesitating for a moment. Two hundred gold coins were almost all his savings.


    "No way, five hundred," the stall owner said firmly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.


    Rubbing his forehead in frustration, Regret steeled himself and took out a small box from his inner clothing, tossing it to the stall owner. "I''ll trade this spiritual herb for your Flame Spirit Grass and Pet Tome."


    "Young Master Blaze, please don''t joke with me. It''s just a spiritual herb, how could it possibly..." The lean stall owner''s complaints came to an abrupt halt as, with the opening of the small box, a chilling aura slowly permeated the air, even causing a thin layer of frost to form on his palm.


    "This is... Snow Condensation Grass?"


    The stall owner''s exclamation drew several gazes over. When they saw the spiritual herb in his hand, their eyes showed a hint of surprise. The rare Snow Condensation Grass was something even the Atlas Shop traded only a few times a year, let alone being presented by a young spiritual novice.


    Heavenly treasures belong to those with destiny. Discovering such treasures not only required strength but also a fair amount of luck. Sometimes, luck could be considered a form of strength.


    "No problem, haha. Besides the Flame Spirit Grass and Pet Encyclopedia, I''ll even throw in a fire attribute Spiritual Core," the obviously pleased stall owner quickly stored the Snow Condensation Grass away, as if afraid Regret would change his mind. He then promptly handed over the agreed items.


    The value of Snow Condensation Grass ranked at the top among first grade spiritual herbs.


    Breathing a sigh of relief, a faint smile appeared on Regret''s face. Though the Snow Condensation Grass was precious, it could still be found several times a year in the entire Veloria City. But the Pet Encyclopedia was unique; despite appearing as if he had lost out, it would save him a lot of trouble in the long run.


    Briefly flipping through the Pet Encyclopedia, Regret felt highly satisfied. Although the book was somewhat damaged over time, it did not significantly affect its readability.


    Turning around, Regret began to walk towards the exit of the Atlas shop. Just as he reached the screen, Mark''s leisurely voice suddenly drifted over, startling Regret. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Your spirit beast should be a high level novice class Flame Cat, right?"


    Swallowing lightly, Regret turned his head in shock to see Mark smiling. "Don''t misunderstand. My life bound spirit beast happens to have a spiritual skill that can detect other spirit beasts. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have discovered it."


    In his state of shock, Regret did not notice that Mark had changed how he addressed him. It now sounded like two old friends conversing, reducing much of the initial unfamiliarity.


    "Indeed, Manager Mark, you truly have keen insight," Regret replied with a bitter smile as he approached. Fortunately, Mark''s control over his spiritual power was impeccable; no one else overheard the conversation. Otherwise, it would have become quite a headache.


    Lightly tapping the gold coins between his fingers, Mark chuckled softly, stood up slowly, and brushed his hand over the shelf. Then, he lightly knocked, and out popped a hidden compartment.


    Within that compartment lay a hexagonal object, quietly resting. At its center, there seemed to be a flicker of flame. Its crystalline, transparent appearance looked quite delicate.


    Holding the object between his fingers, Mark walked over to Regret and placed it in his hand.


    "What is this?" Regret asked, slightly puzzled.


    "A spirit crystal," Mark explained with a gentle smile, notice Regret''s continued confusion. "Many spirit masters only know about the spirit core found inside spirit beasts. However, besides the spirit core, there are some spirit beasts that also have spirit crystals within them. The chances of this are very slim though, only about one in a thousand spirit beasts will produce a spirit crystal.


    These spirit crystals are worth many times more than spirit cores."


    "Most spirit beasts can only comprehend fixed spirit techniques, but there is one method that allows a spirit beast to master spirit techniques understood by other spirit beasts."


    "Wooo, you mean the spirit crystal?" Regret''s breathing became slightly quicker. His understanding of spirit beasts was only superficial, and Mark''s words had undoubtedly opened a new door for him.


    "Yes," Mark praised Regret and continued, "By consuming a spirit crystal, a spirit beast can perceive the memories of the crystal''s previous owner and acquire new spirit techniques. However, this is limited to spirit beasts with the same attributes. If a spirit beast indiscriminately consumes spirit crystals of other attributes, the spiritual power within the beast may suffer irreversible damage."


    Regret nodded slightly and hesitantly asked, "What spirit technique does this crystal contain?"


    "It contains ''Cat Illusion,'' a unique technique of the Purple Charm Cat. It allows the user to disguise themselves as anything they desire with almost negligible energy consumption," Mark explained with a smile.


    Scratching his head, Regret asked awkwardly, "Mr. Mark, is this spirit crystal very expensive?"


    Although tempted, Regret hadn''t forgotten that only one spirit crystal had a chance of being born among a thousand spirit beasts. He knew that the price wouldn''t be cheap, even if he sold everything he had, it probably wouldn''t be enough for one spirit crystal.


    "It''s just a spirit crystal, consider it a gift," Mark generously waved his hand.


    Upon hearing this, Regret couldn''t help but be surprised. Was he really being given it for free?


    Even though he was the young master of the Blaze family, Mark''s status was not low either. There was no need for Mark to please him. Giving a gold coin card could be understood, but giving a spirit crystal seemed a bit unbelievable.

 Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Magi The All know Book

    "Don''t worry, I have my own plan in doing this. With your father Ash there, I didn''t intend to harm you. In the future, if you want to trade spiritual cores, just come to my Atlas shop directly. The price will definitely be fair." Mark leaned back on his chair, his slightly overweight body creaking the seat."Well then, thank you, Mark."


    As Regret left the shop, his mind still couldn''t process what had happened. The shopkeeper had actually gifted him a precious spirit crystal. Even his father, Ash Blaze, would find it unbelievable. "Given my situation, there doesn''t seem to be much to gain. No spirit master has any utility. But this Mark seems decent.


    Let''s have my father interact with him more."


    Stuffing the spirit crystal eagerly into his clotch, Regret turned a few streets and quickly vanished among the crowd.


    Watching Regret leave, on top of a tavern, a figure twirling a wine glass gradually revealed a sinister smile on his lips.


    "Silently taking you out shouldn''t be a problem, right? Young master, can''t wait for next time."


    "In the continent where I reside, known as the Spirit Beast Continent, the ancient Veloria City where the Blaze Family is located is part of the Bistol Empire, situated in the southeast corner of the entire continent. It could be considered remote."


    The burning lamp cast flickering small black shadows on the wall, as Regret sat under the lamplight carefully flipping through the pet encyclopedia brought back from the Atlas Store. Red was lying lazily on the table, gazing out the window where the lush branches rustled in the wind.


    "Hmm, there are sixteen types of spirit beasts on this continent. It seems that Veloria City is truly small. I''ve only encountered five types of spirit beasts in all my years." Regret placed the pet records on the table with a sigh of relief. This book was indeed worth buying; compared to the books in the family recording spirit beasts, it was far superior.


    The information recorded inside made him engrossed in it for the whole day.


    "Has the absorption of the spirit crystals been successful?" Regret suddenly looked at Red and asked.


    Nodding slightly, Red lazily propped himself up, a faint red light emanating from his body, eventually enveloping him completely.


    Soon after, Regret witnessed the white fur on Red''s tail disappearing at a visible speed, and the claws started to retract, reverting entirely to the appearance of the Flame Cat.


    "The Illusionary Cat Art is truly miraculous. I no longer need to go to great lengths to conceal Red''s rank in the future." A hint of unusual color flashed in his eyes as Regret smiled.


    *Snap!*


    After lining up the six bottles of Condensing Spirit Liquid on the table, Regret turned to retrieve the wooden basin he used yesterday. The medicinal properties of the Condensing Spirit Liquid were very mild, with few restrictions, and could even be used continuously.


    Some wealthy spirit masters directly raised their spirit beasts to the ninth rank using the Condensing Spirit Liquid, then waited for the opportunity for the spirit beast to break through. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Taking out a bottle of Condensing Spirit Liquid casually, just as he was about to uncork it, a voice with a hint of playfulness suddenly rang out in the room.


    "Hey hey, such poor quality potion might not be worthy of your spirit beast."


    The voice echoed, Regret''s right hand holding the bottle stopper suddenly froze, then he took a few steps back with his pupils slightly shrinking, grabbing a wooden stick in his hand. Red also immediately pounced in front of Regret, with tiny flames quickly swirling around its sharp claws.


    "Who?" Regret scanned around and shouted sternly.


    Regret''s shout startled a hovering water winged insect outside the window, which suddenly accelerated and fled into the distance. The voice that had appeared earlier disappeared from the room like an illusion.


    After a moment, Regret''s gaze suddenly stared at the Pet Encyclopedia on the table as if seeing a ghost. In a room where no wind blew in, the Pet Encyclopedia began flipping on its own, getting faster and faster. For a moment, the entire room was filled with the sound of flipping pages.


    Swallowing quietly, Regret used his eyes to stop Red from tearing the Pet Encyclopedia apart with its claw. Gritting his teeth, the wooden stick in his hand made a sharp whistling sound as he fiercely smashed it towards the Pet Encyclopedia, which was about to flip to the end.


    "Buzz!"


    At the moment when the stick was about to hit the Pet Encyclopedia, an invisible energy shield suddenly enveloped the Pet Encyclopedia, causing the stick swung by Regret to freeze in midair.


    "Hey hey, humans are always timid, naturally fearful of the unknown."


    As the Pet Encyclopedia flipped to the last page, that unfamiliar voice resounded once again.


    "Is it you speaking?" Regret stared intently at the somewhat damaged Pet Encyclopedia, his scalp slightly tingling. It wasn''t that he was timid, but the scene unfolding right now was too unbelievable, a worn out book actually speaking!


    "Of course it''s me, who else could it be?" Pet Encyclopedia shifted slightly and then half stood up, humming softly, "Ignorant. Could it be that in your impression, all spirit beasts are like that foolish Cat? Let me tell you, there are countless strange spirit beasts on this continent, and I am one of them."


    Hearing a book actually belittling itself, Red let out an angry growl and swiped a claw upwards.


    "Even a high level novice level spirit beast can''t do anything to me."


    A mocking voice came out as Red pounced forward, only to rebound fiercely as if hitting a hard wall.


    Regret swiftly caught Red in his hand, and at that moment, Pet Encyclopedia''s voice rang out again.


    "Truth be told, the folding screen at the Atlas Shop is also a spirit beast. If I remember correctly, it should be called Painting Screen Fan. I didn''t expect that chubby guy''s luck was so good. Painting Screen Fan is a rare spirit beast, rarely seen even in the outside world. The strength of this little Flame Cat, it was detected by the Painting Screen Fan."

 Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Azure Spirit Liquid 1

    "No wonder." Regret pondered for a moment and then looked at Pet Encyclopedia with a serious gaze, "What are you then? I''ve never heard of a speaking spirit beast before."Pet Encyclopedia turned around and suddenly fell onto the table with a plop, sounding somewhat desolate, "I can''t remember many things. I only remember that my name is Magi The All Know Book, Just call me Magi the Book. The moment I regained consciousness, I was in the hands of that peddler, and today, it''s in your hands."


    "Well... should I return you then?" Regret grinned awkwardly, showing his teeth. He was eager to get rid of this hot potato. If it was an ordinary book, it would have been fine, but now that it had turned into a spirit beast, things were not that simple. Nobody wanted an unknown person around them.


    "No." Magi the book replied firmly, then his voice suddenly became anxious, "Hey, little guy, don''t go, come back!"


    Regret couldn''t even figure out what was going on. He simply pushed open the door, realizing that he couldn''t handle this fellow. He had to go find his father. No matter what, he didn''t want to share a room with a strange book that could talk.


    "Young people are so hot headed, they can''t even handle a little excitement," Magi the book suddenly appeared in mid air and blocked Regret''s path with a shimmer. "As long as you help me with something, you can have as much of the trash on the table as you want." sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Regret hesitated and glanced strangely at the Condensing spirit liquid on the table. Did he hear it right? The Condensing spirit liquid , considered a treasure by all low level spirit masters, was just trash in the eyes of Magi the book?


    "Really?" Regret turned his burning gaze towards the floating Magi the Book.


    "The Condensing spirit liquid is made from open air grass and golden crystal flowers. In the world of alchemy, it''s just the lowest grade medicine. Even the servants of some big families on the mainland would look down on it. I never expected that in your Veloria City, it would be considered a treasure."


    "What can you give me then?" Regret''s heart raced as he stared at the Magi the Book.


    With a flip, Magi the Book rustled and, in a blink of an eye, a densely written piece of paper detached from its body and floated down to Regret.


    "The Azure Spirit Liquid, made from the refining materials of Purple Profound Leaf, Moon Ink Flower, and Azure Spirit Thorn Vine. It has a gentle nature, helps enhance the strength of spiritual beasts, and significantly increases the chances of breaking through the spiritual beast''s rank."


    Reading the words on the paper, Regret''s eyes gradually brightened. According to the description, the effect of the Azure Spirit Liquid was far superior to that of the Condensing Spirit Liquid. However, the subsequent information immediately made him frown.


    "It says here that to refine the Azure Spirit Liquid, one needs to be an alchemist, right?"


    Regret let out a light sigh, feeling quite helpless. Although the Azure Spirit Liquid was excellent, it was not something he could enjoy. The number of alchemists in Veloria City could be counted on one hand. The Snow family ranked first among the four major families precisely because they had an alchemist of the first rank. The other three families rarely even saw the shadow of an alchemist.


    So, Regret now was like someone who owned a treasure trove but couldn''t open it, making his frustration palpable.


    "With the Blaze family''s power, inviting a first rank alchemist is indeed difficult, but I have another method," Magi the book said with a hint of cunning at the end of his sentence.


    "What method?" Hearing this, Regret''s spirits were lifted.


    "You can become an alchemist yourself," Magi the book''s teasing voice sounded.


    As soon as these words were spoken, Regret''s brow furrowed. While it was easy for Magi the Book to say, becoming an alchemist was no simple task. It required a large number of medicinal herbs to practice with, and without proper guidance, he might not even touch the threshold for years. However, he did possess the fire element spiritual power necessary for alchemy.


    "Can you help me?" Regret''s gaze turned to the floating Magi the Book, though he did not exhibit the excitement and urgency he felt. There are no free lunches in the world, especially when the offer comes from a stranger.


    "Of course, but you''ll have to do some things for me in return," Magi the Book said with a sly smile. Although its expression couldn''t be seen, Regret could hear the emotional fluctuations in its voice.


    "I knew that good things don''t come easy. Go ahead, but as a spirit master, my abilities are quite limited. Don''t expect me to do anything too difficult." Regret placed the paper containing the formula for Azure Spirit Liquid on the table, then sat down nonchalantly. As long as Magi the Book needed his help, he wouldn''t be too passive in this transaction.


    "In fact, my body is not entirely complete. The most important eight pages are scattered across the continent. Help me find those pages, and during this time, I will do my best to help you with anything within my capabilities." Magi the Book said eagerly.


    "This deal sounds good." Regret''s gaze flickered for a moment, but he didn''t immediately agree. Even if the cake looks good, one must have the ability to eat it. With his current strength, he obviously couldn''t handle it.


    Seeing Regret hesitating, Magi the Book''s hovering body suddenly stopped, and a helpless voice sounded in Regret''s ear, "You are quite a tough little guy. It seems I can''t convince you without some leverage. As long as you help me find the missing pages, aside from alchemy, I will also take full responsibility for the cultivation of this little Cat. How about it?"

 Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Azure Spirit Liquid 2

    Red tilted its head, staring at Magi the Book with a puzzled expression."The flame inside this little Cat''s body is quite unique. What''s even more rare is that only low-level novice level spirit beasts can absorb this flame. If my guess is correct, this little Cat is naturally a high level novice level spirit beast, but it was suppressed by special means later. It''s amazing that someone could achieve this in the small town of Veloria."


    Magi the Book''s voice echoed in the room once again, this time with a hint of admiration.


    As the words lingered in his ears, Regret was first surprised, then his gaze turned peculiar. He hadn''t expected that Magi The Book really had some tricks up its sleeve, even able to probe into the flame inside Red''s body, something that not even the specialized spirit beast detection fan could uncover.


    "How can I be sure that you won''t harm me or the Blaze family?" After a moment of silence, Regret''s voice was calm. He didn''t mind, but keeping Magi the book by his side was undeniably placing a time bomb in the Blaze family. If the latter really did something harmful to the Blaze family, Regret would only regret it deeply.


    Hearing this, Magi the Book also fell silent. After a long moment of hesitation, it finally hardened its heart and said, "I can bind a life and death spirit contract to your first spirit Portal. If I do anything harmful to you, a single thought from you would suffice to obliterate me."


    A life and death contract?


    Regret smacked his lips in his mind. While reading through Magi The Book, he had come across this peculiar spirit contract. Only extremely powerful spirit beasts could establish such a contract, and there were no restrictions on the one establishing it. However, this method could only be carried out between a master and a servant.


    One could imagine the immense resolve Magi The Book had before speaking.


    Magi The Book floated in front of Regret, with a faint light extending from its interior, and at the end of that light was Regret.


    After intertwining his fingers and taking several breaths, Regret bitterly smiled and waved his hand, dispersing the light extended by Magi The Book. He said softly, "Although I don''t know whether this is right or wrong, since I have decided to keep you by my side, we should be honest with each other. Besides, I really don''t like this kind of contract."


    The light in front of him transformed into countless brilliant light points, clearly stupefying Magi The Book. After a moment, a faint shadow began to coalesce above the open pages of the book.


    This shadow had a faint blue hue, swaying continuously with the flow of the air. What''s more peculiar was that the shadow''s face resembled an aged dark weasel, while its lower part floated like a ghost.


    "What is this?" Regret asked, widening his eyes in astonishment..


    "Actually, this book is just a part of my body. This phantom image is my true form, but my true form is currently very fragile and could be easily torn apart by a spirit beast of the novice level." The phantom held the book in one hand, looking at Regret with a complicated expression.


    Seeing this scene, Regret''s expression also changed slightly. It was evident that Magi The Book had truly decided to be candid, even revealing its most fatal weakness.


    "Happy cooperation."


    After a brief moment of contemplation, Regret extended his hand towards the phantom of Magi The Book, a slight smile appearing on his face.


    "Happy cooperation."


    Magi The Book let out a long breath. Two hands of completely disproportionate sizes tightly grasped each other, casting a solid black shadow on the wall.


    The morning sun shone into the spacious courtyard, filtering through the dense branches and leaves, scattering in patches on the ground. Beyond the courtyard, shadows flickered, with horse drawn carts carrying goods, raising dust into the air as they sped off into the distance.


    "Cousin, are you awake?"


    The ethereal voice of a young girl resonated in the courtyard, then passed through the wooden windows into the room.


    Slowly opening his eyes, Regret took a deep breath and gently woke up the Red snuggled on his chest, then groggily opened the door.


    Outside the door was Qistina with green vines.


    "What''s going on?" Regret asked in surprise.


    "Cousin, have you heard that the Blaze family invited an alchemist last night?" Qistina''s pretty face was filled with excitement.


    "An alchemist?" Regret stared at Qistina incredulously. If he hadn''t found out he might have the potential to be an alchemist last night, he would probably be even more shocked now.


    After all, alchemists were the most prestigious figures wherever they went.


    "Yes, it was the Second Elder who paid a high price to invite him. It seems his name is Kamal." Qistina''s bright eyes sparkled as she spoke.


    Kamal?


    Upon hearing this name, Regret not only showed no joy, but instead furrowed his brows slightly. Kamal''s reputation in Veloria City was not good, especially with his arrogant personality, which easily caused displeasure among people.

    "Kamal is here at the Blaze Family now?" Regret suddenly looked at Qistina.


    "Yes, with him here, we won''t have to worry about the elixirs we need for cultivation in the future," Qistina was quite excited. Having an alchemist in the family was beneficial for the younger generation like them.


    Nodding gently, Regret woke up the still sleeping Red and walked towards the direction of the reception hall with Qistina, where the Blaze Family usually entertained distinguished guests.


    The typically sparsely populated reception hall was now surrounded by a large number of Blaze Family members. Their gazes, filled with curiosity and excitement, were focused on the figure in white robes inside the reception hall.


    The person in white robes was obviously an old man. Despite being scrutinized by many eyes, his gaze remained indifferent, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

 Chapter 16: Chapter 16 Kartis Man

    "A bumpkin who hasn''t seen the world," a young man next to the old man remarked disdainfully while looking at the people outside the door."That''s someone from the Kartis Family, right?" Regret narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized this young man as Kartis Man, the grandson of Kartis Kai. Not long ago, he had seen portraits of the main members of the Kartis Family in his father Ash''s study romm.


    Sitting nonchalantly on the chair, Kamal raised his eyelids casually and said softly, "Originally, your Blaze Family wouldn''t be able to afford me. But since my disciple came out to speak, I can consider being your benefactor. Just ensure that the Blaze Family can pay the compensation on time."


    "Naturally," Peter''s eyes lit up upon hearing this. "As long as you are willing to help, we can negotiate the compensation terms."


    In the conversation between the two, Kartis Man cast a somewhat disdainful glance, scanning the faces of the Blaze family members in turn. Finally, his gaze suddenly settled on the pretty face of Qistina, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I didn''t expect this small Blaze family to actually have such a beauty. It seems this trip was not in vain," Kartis Man said, a faint curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. His unabashedly aggressive gaze made Qistina quite uncomfortable.


    As Kartis Man''s eyes flickered slightly, Regret sneered inwardly and stepped in front of Qistina.


    "Who are you?" his sudden interruption caused a anger to show Kartis Man''s face.


    "Oh, I see. Isn''t this Blaze Regret, the second young master of the Blaze family?" Kartis Man suddenly realized, nodding his head, "Just as Brother Kartis Van described, useless indeed. Flame Cat, even the lowest servants in our Kartis family look down on it. I didn''t expect you to cherish it like a treasure, always keeping it by your side."


    Upon hearing this, Qistina''s face almost instantly turned cold. She was about to speak when Regret took a step forward and calmly said, "You''re decent looking but your words stink. I really wonder if the young generation of the Kartis family is as ill mannered as you."


    "Do you want to die?" Kartis Man''s smile slowly froze on his face, his voice turning extremely chilly.


    "Youth tend to be hot tempered." Kamal, who had been expressionless sitting on a chair, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then spat it out forcefully, furrowing his brows, "What kind of awful tea is this? Is it even fit for drinking?"


    "Just a small family, maybe they can''t even eat their fill. Having tea to drink is already a luxury for them," Kartis Man chuckled, his voice tinged with subtle mockery.


    Upon seeing this scene, Regret''s heart gradually turned cold. He knew that the Blaze family would never suddenly invite an alchemist. Now he understood completely that Kamal was just someone the Kartis family brought in to humiliate the Blaze family.


    Kartis Kai was truly ruthless; Regret couldn''t comprehend what kind of rift existed between the Kartis and Blaze families to lead to such a situation today.


    The tea stains on the floor hadn''t dried yet, but the expressions on the faces of the Blaze family members turned exceptionally ugly. Kamal''s actions felt like a slap in the face to each of them.


    "Although the tea of the Blaze family may not be good, it''s not something that everyone can just spit out. Mr. Kamal, there are always people beyond people and things beyond things. Although alchemists are precious, in such a vast city like Veloria, there is more than one." Regret smiled lightly at Kamal. Since he knew the other was an enemy, there was no need for courtesy.


    As soon as his voice fell, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared dumbfounded at Regret. This guy actually dared to provoke an alchemist in public? Even though the provocation didn''t start with him.


    "Truly a case of a newcomer showing no fear of the expert." There was no sign of anger on Kamal''s face, just a shake of his head and a smile. Regret''s words didn''t seem to affect him much; he just treated them as a joke. Within Veloria City, besides him, who else could the Blaze family invite?


    "Regret, step aside!" The second elder, Peter, sighed internally. Although he also disliked Kamal, an alchemist was still an alchemist with a lofty status. If it weren''t for this layer of identity, he would have kill Kamal, who had been provoking him all along, into pieces.


    "A mere spiritual novice dares to speak so arrogantly here, how ridiculous." When Regret turned around, the mocking voice of Kartis Man rang out in the room.


    At the instant Kartis Man finished speaking, Regret''s steps suddenly halted. Then, he slowly turned around, his voice devoid of any emotion as he spoke slowly.


    "You are truly annoying. In the future, when you see me in the Blaze family, it''s best to take a different path. Otherwise, I might lose control and have someone slaughter you."


    As soon as Regret''s voice fell, the younger generation of the Blaze family began to stir. Over a dozen figures with ill intentions gradually moved towards Kartis Man. The scene made the latter''s face quite unpleasant.


    "Remember, this territory belongs to the Blaze family, not the Kartis family." With that said, Regret no longer wasted any words, turned around and left.


    "Regret, you are good, I hope that there are always so many people by your side every day."


    Kartis Man looked at Regret''s back with resentment, a touch of coldness passing through his eyes.


    Regret left the front of the reception hall and did not return to his room. Instead, following the instructions of the Magi The Book, he arrived at an inconspicuous shop front.


    The shop was named Spirit Techniques Market, and it sold various spirit techniques that could be used by spirit masters. During battles between spirit beasts, spirit masters could not only command the fight but also assist the spirit beasts with different spirit techniques to alter the course of a battle.

 Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Azure Flame Lynx

    Of course, spiritual Techniques also have detailed types of classification, which can roughly be divided into three types: attack type, support type, and body technique type spiritual arts. However, generally, spirit masters do not choose to practice attack type spiritual arts, as that type consumes too much spiritual power and can easily lead to exhaustion of one''s spiritual power."Boss, I want a copy of Flame Step."


    Entering the spiritual Techniques Market, Regret didn''t waste any words and directly placed one hundred gold coins on the table. Flame Step belongs to the body technique type of spiritual Techniques, which is very common in spiritual Techniques, so the price is relatively cheap.


    The boss of the spiritual Techniques market is a thin young man. He glanced at Regret and pointed to the third level of the leftmost bookshelf, his voice hoarse, saying, "Flame Step is on the third level of the left bookshelf."


    Regret nodded, walked directly to the bookshelf, and heard a squeaking sound. A fiery red book shot out from the shelf and landed precisely in Regret''s hands.


    "Spirit Splitting Mouse?"


    Regret looked somewhat surprised at the spiritual beast on the bookshelf. It was a white mouse the size of a palm, with sharp claws and eyes shimmering faintly. This spiritual beast named Spirit Splitting Mouse had an incredibly strong memory and could accurately remember the placement of items in a short period of time.


    After leaving the spiritual Techniques Market, Regret took a deep breath of the slightly cool air, then quickly returned to the room, grabbed the Magi the Book and the cloth bag, and hastened towards the back mountain.


    "By the way, do you have another name, I can''t keep calling you Magi the Book in the future." Regret asked as he walked.


    "Hehe, I really don''t have other name beside that."


    A faint shadow, like a wandering ghost, floated beside Regret. Fortunately, this road was part of the Blaze family''s influence, rarely traveled by people. Otherwise, this eerie scene could have scared many.


    "If not, then I''ll give you one. Now, with you guiding my cultivation, our relationship is like master and disciple. In the future, I will call you Master Magi," Regret said with a faint smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes.


    "Hmm!"


    Hearing this name, Red finally snickered, swaying its little tail in the air. Compared to that, its name was much more stylish.


    "Sly little guy, I truly lost to you."


    Magi the Book chuckled hidden in his sack. Regret had invisibly placed a shackle on him, trapping him in the guise of a teacher. In the future, not only would he mentor him with all he had, but if Regret encountered danger, he couldn''t just stand idly by. He had underestimated this seemingly slightly immature youth.


    Magi the Book thought, Regret''s calculations were indeed meticulous. Upon their first meeting, he had already surmised that Magi the Book''s true strength should not be weaker than his father''s spirit beast Fire Spirit Lion. Keeping such a teacher close would only bring endless benefits to him and the Blaze family.


    After greeting Adam, Regret led Red into the back mountains. Red leaped, landing steadily on the ground, its white fuzzy tail gradually becoming visible. The aura of an advanced novice level spirit beast spread out instantly.


    Red, released from its bewilderment, made many lurking beasts quickly retreat. Regret''s main task in coming to the back mountains this time was to gather the Purple Profound Leaves, Moon Ink Flowers, and Azure Spirit Thorn Vines necessary for refining Azure Spirit Liquid. He didn''t want any unnecessary battles for now.


    With a satisfied hum, Red swayed its little tail and strolled leisurely in front of Regret.


    "In your cloth bag, there is also a Flame Spirit Grass, right," in the secluded mountain woods, Master Magi no longer conceals his true form, drifting directly beside Regret, surrounded by a substantial light shield around his phantom, as if in defense.


    "Well, I plan to find a suitable place and let Red refine it," Regret nodded.


    "Refine it? That''s truly wasting a precious resource," the Master Magi shook his head and chuckled, "The most rational way to use Flame Spirit Grass is not by direct consumption but by using it after the fire elemental spirit power within the spiritual beast''s body is completely depleted. Only then can its medicinal properties be fully utilized.


    If you''re lucky, your little Cat here might even advance a level directly."


    Upon hearing this, Regret nodded in gratitude, looking as if he was learning a valuable lesson. If not for the Master Magi, he would have missed out on many good things.


    "Rustle!"


    Just as the two were conversing, the nearby tree trunk shook for a moment and later a blazing red shadow suddenly burst out, its claws carrying faint traces of flames. The surrounding leaves all withered and evaporated due to the high heat contained within it.


    "Haha, I''ve had my eye on you for a while now."


    The Master Magi smiled faintly, waved his hand, and a semi circular light shield appeared out of thin air, directly engulfing the fiery red shadow that want to attack Regret.


    Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Within that light shield was a Flame Lynx with its body engulfed in flames, with light purple fur around its neck. Its eyes were as fierce as those of a bloodthirsty wolf, and its slashing claws made knocking sounds on the light shield.


    "You probably don''t recognize it. This spiritual beast is called the Azure Flame Lynx, one of the rarer spiritual beasts, belonging to the middle ranking novice tier in terms of grade. It has immense potential and in their eyes, everyone is weak like ants, which is why it dared ambush you," explained the Master Magi with a smile.


    The Red crouched on the light shield, its eyes fiercely staring at the Azure Flame Lynx inside, who was also glaring back angrily. Without the light shield, they might have fought immediately.

 Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Flame Step

    "Too bad my second spirit portal hasn''t opened yet, or this Azure Flame Lynx would be a good choice." Regret licked his lips, knowing that the greater the potential of a spirit beast, the higher the chance of breaking through ranks. The Azure Flame Lynx had the potential to jump two ranks when breaking through. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."If you follow me, your future path won''t be so simple," Master Magi looked at Regret, shaking his head lightly in his heart as his gaze flickered, pondering something.


    "If you want to kill, you must be prepared to be killed."


    With a casual wave of his hand, the light shield instantly disappeared at Mater Magi''s command, and the impatient Ref immediately pierced through the Azure Flame Lynx''s paw and throat with a single claw.


    This Azure Flame Lynx was only a third rank intermediate Novice and was clearly no match for Red.


    Furthermore, in the eyes of spiritual beasts, the spirit master they formed a contract with was more crucial than their own lives. Thus, the Azure Flame Lynx, seeking Regret''s life, received no mercy from the Red. With a single strike to kill, there was no room for hesitation.


    Watching the Red devour the Azure Flame Lynx''s core, Regret turned his gaze towards the front of the forest, where the purple mysterious leaves and moon ink flowers grew.


    In the dense forest, a thin mist lingered in the air, providing a cool and viscous sensation upon contact with the skin.


    Under a tall tree, Regret carefully collected the herbs on the ground. His bag already contained a good amount of Purple Xuan Leaves and Moon Ink Flowers. The Purple Xuan Leaves were easily identifiable purple in color with four leaves, while the Moon Ink Flowers were black with delicate patterns that seemed to show faint crescent shaped light spots.


    After a while, Regret sighed with relief and leaned against the tree, feeling drained. Herb gathering was not an easy task, requiring prolonged concentration that easily led to fatigue.


    Seeing Regret finish the tedious work, Red happily nodded, then lightly jumped onto Regret''s shoulder.


    "Next, we should gather the Azure Spirit Thorn Vine. However, around this herb, there are often creatures called Thorn Vine Snakes, so we need to be careful," the Master Magi floated in the air, waving his hand to dispel the protective aura within a three meter radius. Without this shield, Regret would not have been so at ease collecting herbs under the trees.


    Regret nodded, scanned the surroundings for any danger, and then hoisted the bag onto his back, heading in the direction indicated by the Master Magi.


    "When you have enough money, You''ll have to buy a Void Stone. Otherwise, you might regret it if you find something good but have no way to carry it," the Master Magi glanced at the bag on Regret''s back and muttered.


    The Void Stone was a magical item used on the Beast Spirit Continent to store items. While it appeared as an ordinary rectangular stone on the outside, it contained a vast space within, capable of storing anything except living creatures.


    "A basic Void Stone costs at least ten thousand gold coins. Where would I get so much money?" Regret helplessly retorted. In the entire Blaze family, there were only three Void Stones, one with his father and the other two held by the elders.


    "As long as you become an alchemist, obtaining gold coins is just a piece of cake." Master Magi chuckled heartlessly.


    "Well, it also depends on whether I have the talent for it." Regret muttered in his heart. Becoming an alchemist isn''t that easy. Just the requirement of having Fire type spiritual power alone already eliminates the majority of spiritualists. Moreover, alchemy has strict requirements for talent. If it were easy, alchemists would be everywhere already, not as rare as they are now.


    However, in the next moment, a firm determination flashed in Regret''s eyes. Regardless of whether he had the talent or not, he had time and Master Magi''s assistance by his side. He refused to believe that he would be weaker than that Kamal!


    "We''re almost there." Master Magi floated in front of Regret, gently lifting his chin. The azure spirit thorn vines grew abundantly on the mountain walls, making them easy to spot.


    The closer they got to the mountain walls, the stronger the spiritual beasts they encountered. By now, third and fourth tier spiritual beasts were basically nowhere to be seen. Just a while ago, Regret even saw a seventh tier spiritual beast, but it quickly retreated under the intimidation of Master Magi.


    The trees in front gradually thinned out, and the silhouette of the Ink Mountain appeared in their sight. Regret looked at the densely packed thorn vines on the mountain and felt relieved. He had been worried that there might not be this kind of medicinal herb on the mountain behind the Blaze family, but now it seemed that he had been overly concerned.


    Regret was about to command Red to harvest the azure spirit thorn vines when Master Magi''s voice, slightly hoarse, suddenly sounded.


    "You go up there on your own."


    Upon hearing this, Regret was visibly stunned, then looked at Master Magi in bewilderment. Was he kidding? How could he climb up such a steep mountainside!


    The master Magi, upon seeing the situation, just chuckled lightly, "Do you know why you need to practice the Flame Step? Although this kind of body technique seems ordinary, in terms of explosiveness and speed, few spirit techniques can compare. Once mastered to perfection, not only mountains, but even lakes will feel like flat ground."


    Regret''s gaze shifted to the sword like mountain wall, covered with dense blue spirit thorns and occasional shadowy movements undoubtedly the thorn snakes.


    "Let''s go up. The worst that can happen is a couple of bites."


    With a leap from his shoulder, Regret drew out the Flame Step hidden inside his clothes. With a touch of his finger, a massive amount of information flooded his mind, causing the flame Step technique to gradually dissipate from his hand. "Whoosh!"

 Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Refining

    A tiny flame erupted from under Regret''s feet, its heat lower than the fiery claws of Red. After a moment of silence, Regret''s eyes snapped open. He stomped the ground and dashed forward. Each step left a black footprint. "Thud!"The foot heavily landed on the rocky mountain wall as Regret''s figure mysteriously moved upwards. With each step, the flame under his feet diminished until, on the seventh step, a pale hue crept onto his face. At that moment, a thorn snake seized the opportunity, its triangular eyes gleaming fiercely as it shot towards him like lightning.


    "Get lost!" Regret''s eyes turned cold as he ruthlessly stamped the snake''s head, propelling himself backward before landing heavily on the ground and stabilizing his stance after a few steps back.


    "Swoosh!"


    Red figure flashed out at the same time, its claws carrying a sharp gust of wind, pinning down the snake vine that had launched a sneak attack on Regret earlier.


    Under sudden heavy blow, the snake vine twisted in agony on the ground, raising dust in the air. But in the next moment, it ceased struggling as the Red figure had already dug out its core with its claws.


    "I thought it wouldn''t be easy for him to take five steps for the first time, but I never thought he could take seven steps and land a blow on the snake vine. This adaptability is impressive," Master Magi praised inwardly, though his face remained expressionless. Indifferently, he said, "Poor endurance, only stopped after seven steps. Continue."


    Regret sneered. Normally, only Intermediate Spirit master could practice spiritual arts, but due to three years of accumulation, his spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary Spirit Novices, almost comparable to some Spirit Apprentice. And this was considered weak?


    Thinking this in his mind, Regret quickly charged forward again, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes. If seven steps weren''t enough, he would test where his limits truly lay!


    "Bang!"


    From the mountain wall covered with azure spirit thorns came a low muffled sound, as several all green thorn snakes, carrying a faint smell of blood, swiftly pounced towards the black clothed young man. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Too slow."


    Regret smiled faintly, stepping on a rock and quickly dodging to the side. A streak of red light followed, causing the thorn snakes drooling with saliva to softly drop to the ground.


    This scene had played out countless times on the steep mountain wall. Behind Regret, Red vigilantly followed, ready to tear any attacker into pieces without hesitation.


    Watching the young man darting back and forth on the mountain wall, the Master Magi''s gaze revealed a hint of satisfaction. Initially, he had only wanted to give it a try, but as time passed, he became increasingly convinced that he had made the right choice.


    Ordinary spirit novice could only take fifty steps with the Flame Step Technique, but after a day of training, Regret had already reached an astonishing sixty steps.


    Spirit masters and spirit beasts coexisted in a mysterious way, with their strengths mutually reinforcing each other. If Regret''s first spirit pact, the scorching Flame Cat, could advance to the fourth rank, even taking a hundred steps might not be impossible.


    Once again landing on the ground, Regret no longer appeared as embarrassed as when his first spiritual power had run dry. Although his spiritual power was now nearing its limits, he had completely adapted to this feeling, and even began to enjoy it somewhat.


    Gathering the azure spirit thorns on the ground into a pile, Regret grinned and said, "Master Magi, can you teach me how to refine the Azure Spirit Liquid now?"


    After scanning the herbs on the ground, Master Magi nodded gently, then turned around and floated towards the depths of the forest. His soft voice followed, "Come with me."


    Stuff the Azure Spirit Thorn into the cloth bag, Regret gritted his teeth and rubbed the back of his hand that got pierced by wooden thorns. He quickly pick on Red and hurried towards Master Magi.


    Master Magi chose a rare open space in the forest, surrounded by lush trees with little sign of spiritual beast activity.


    "Alchemist must not be disturbed; light interference could ruin the cauldron, serious interference could harm oneself." Master Magi waved his hand, enveloping the area in a semi transparent light shield, blocking out all sounds from the forest.


    "Azure Spirit Liquid, though categorized as a top grade elixir, is simply a liquid. Therefore, the alchemist process is relatively simple, and a cauldron is not required."


    As he spoke, Master Magi''s palm opened, and a dazzling light condensed into an exquisite cauldron shape in his hand.


    "This is the appearance of the cauldron. I call it the Simulated Alchemist Cauldron. It only mimics the shape and lacks functionality. Using this simulated cauldron to refine elixirs allows alchemists to better observe the liquid''s changes and sense the alchemist process sooner."


    Master Magi''s sleeve flicked, and the simulated cauldron fell in front of Regret, rotating slowly, emitting a soft glow.


    With a look of amazement in his eyes, Regret extended his palm, and a blazing flame surged under the cauldron, astonishing him.


    "The greatest advantage of the simulated cauldron is that it requires very little spiritual power to operate. If you were to use a normal cauldron, with just the little spiritual power inside you, you probably couldn''t even refine a drop of Azure spirit liquid." Master Magi yawned and leaned lightly on the remaining rock inside the light shield.


    "The rest is up to you to figure out; this old man is going to take a nap."


    Upon hearing this, Regret glanced at Master Magi in surprise. The latter''s way of addressing him seemed to inadvertently reveal his age.


    Shaking his head slightly to rid himself of these distracting thoughts, Regret began adding three types of medicinal herbs sequentially, as recorded in the recipe for the Azure Spirit Liquid.


    "Hiss!"


    The Purple Xuan Leaf turned into a puddle of purple liquid almost instantly upon entering the alchemist cauldron. The addition of Moon Ink Flower completely altered the color of the medicinal liquid.

 Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Earth Split Scorpion

    Although the recipe gave simple instructions, the refining process was quite complex. Besides the timing of when to add each herb, even the proportions had to be meticulously controlled. It was only after dozens of failures that Regret slowly began to master these aspects.As the refining continued, Regret gradually became engrossed in the process. However, to Red, observing this was rather boring. Hence, it lay down on the rock behind Master Magi, quietly watching the front where the flames within the cauldron slowly flickered in its eyes.


    Outside the light barrier, a gentle breeze blew past, lifting a few dry leaves that landed on the semi transparent barrier before sliding off. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Inside the light barrier, the waste liquid mixed with carbon like substances at Regret''s feet kept accumulating. Nonetheless, as the refining process progressed, the amount of discarded waste liquid diminished, while the refined Azure Spirit Liquid was separated by the simulated alchemical cauldron at the moment of successful creation, forming a spherical shape that floated mid air.


    The process of refining the medicinal liquid took about an hour. Despite this, Regret''s face did not show any signs of fatigue. Whenever he felt mentally exhausted, a golden drop of liquid would be generated from beneath the simulated alchemical cauldron and merge into his body, dispelling any exhaustion.


    "Having someone show the way is indeed good. Now I finally understand why the children of those prominent families like the Kartis family make such rapid progress in their cultivation." After finishing the last batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, Regret wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed lightly in his heart.


    If it weren''t for Master Magi''s guidance, not to mention becoming an alchemist, he probably wouldn''t even dare to entertain such a thought now.


    "Whew!" Seeing Regret finally complete the boring task, Red chirped cheerfully and swiftly jumped onto his shoulder like lightning.


    "Finished refining?" Rubbing his forehead, Master Magi wearily opened his eyes. It was evident that the condensation of the simulated Alchemy Cauldron had greatly drained his spiritual power. After all, no matter what, his true form was just a book, and missing eight pages was undoubtedly a severe blow to him.


    The next moment, Master Magi floated up and placed his palm on the simulated Alchemist Cauldron, which instantly turned into golden light and entered his body. As the golden light flowed in, his spirit began to revive.


    "Well done, it seems I didn''t misjudge." Master Magi glanced at the eight floating orbs in the air and smiled. Then, with a light gesture of his hand, those eight orbs gently landed on the ground.


    "By the way, Master Magi, where exactly are those missing pages of yours?" Regret suddenly asked.


    Though feeling some relief in his eyes, Master Magi lightly waved his hand. "I understand your intention, but with your current strength, I''m afraid you won''t even be able to get a single page. When the time is right, I''ll let you know."


    Nodding helplessly, Regret carefully packed all the Azure Spirit Liquid into a cloth bag. At that moment, Master Magi''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Little one, trouble is coming your way."


    Upon hearing the words of the master Magi, Regret was slightly surprised. In the back mountains of the Blaze family, what trouble could there possibly be? Could it be that a powerful spiritual beast had arrived?


    "Spirit possession, quite a good method, but the target of this spirit possession seems a bit weak."


    The master Magi sneered and waved his hand. The surrounding light shield gradually dissipated, and the next moment, a huge black shadow appeared in Regret''s line of sight. Red perched on his shoulder instantly stood up, a fierce glint in its eyes.


    It was a massive scorpion, its entire body showing a sandy color. The protrusions on its back resembled hardened crystals. Behind it, the sharp tail slightly curved, with its tail hook displaying its lethal power. Most striking were its enormous pincers, capable of snapping a sturdy iron rod in half with ease.


    "This is the Earth split Scorpion?"


    Regret''s eyes flickered. This Earth split Scorpion was at most around the sixth rank. Although it had a higher rank than Red, it was still only a low level novice grade spiritual beast. If they were to engage in a fight, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious.


    "This is no ordinary Earth split Scorpion. I can sense the aura of a spirit contract on its body," the master Magi said lightly.


    "A spiri contract?" Regret''s eyes almost instantly turned cold. If it wasn''t a spiritual beast from the Blaze family that appeared here, then it could only be trouble seeking for them!


    Veloria City, snow family.


    "Elder, have you found that kid?"


    In a not so large room, two figures were sitting cross legged on cushions, and the young figure who spoke earlier was none other than Snow Feng from the Snow family!


    "Don''t worry. If what you said is true, that brat from the Blaze family is indeed trouble. To get rid of him without Blaze Ash noticing, we had to resort to the method of Spirit possession. You know the drawback of this method, it can only be used on weaker spiritual beasts. So, we''ll have to take it slow." Snow Ahmad, the elder of the Snow family, raised his eyelids to reveal a pair of gloomy eyes.


    "Hehe, Elder Snow Ahmad, don''t underestimate that kid too much. Boosting his spiritual beast to the third rank in just one day, he must have used the Blood Awakening Pill. After using the pill, the spiritual beast''s strength will indeed increase significantly, but soon after, that spiritual pet will probably be useless." Snow Feng smirked with a gloating expression on his face.


    "Sixth rank against the third rank is definitely overwhelming. Elder Snow Ahmad, after finishing off that Flame Cat, don''t forget to cripple that Regret boy. He has caused me a lot of trouble at the Atlas shop."


    At this mention, Snow Feng''s face darkened significantly. In Veloria City, he was always the one causing trouble for others. He never expected Regret to embarrass him this time. So, as soon as he returned to the Snow family, he began persuading Snow Ahmad to deal with Regret.

 Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Spirit Possession

    "He''s just a waste. If he dies, he dies. I don''t believe that old Blaze Ash can come after me." Caressing the centipede at his feet, Snow Fang smirked darkly."If he does come, be prepared. I''m going to sever the soul contract."


    With that, Snow Ahmad formed a seal with one hand, and with a splutter, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. Seeing this, Snow Feng quickly stuffed a pill into Snow Ahmad''s mouth.


    "We''ve been at odds for over ten years, Regret. Today, your fate ends on your own turf." A sinister grin curved on Snow Feng''s lips.


    "The so called Spirit possession is when the spiritual master exerts partial control over the spiritual beast by severing half of the soul contract in advance. In this state, it''s challenging for other spiritual masters to perceive the ownership of this spiritual beast. It''s a ruthless method used for assassination and ambush. Most targets rarely get to experience such treatment."


    The reason it''s described as ruthless is because once the Spirit possession is completed, the spirit master cannot recall the spirit contract anymore. In other words, this spirit beast cannot form another contract with the spirit master in the future.


    Once the bond is severed, the spirit master will suffer severe backlash, at least for the next three months, during which the Spirit possession cannot be formed again, unless a large amount of spiritual medicine or elixirs are used.


    Regret clicked his tongue, wondering who had such a great grudge against him to go to such lengths. Apart from Snow Feng and Kartis Man, in this ancient Veloria city, he really couldn''t think of a second person.


    If Red was just a low ranking third stage novice, then today his life would definitely be left in these deep mountains and old forests without a doubt. But looking at the current situation, all he could say was that the other side was just wasting their time.


    "Be cautious, the Spirit possession is completed," the voice of Master Magi came again during contemplation.


    "Now that it''s done, let''s finish it off," Regret said indifferently.


    "Roar!"


    Red''s body slightly arched, then suddenly pounced out without any hesitation. His right claw began to burn with a hint of flame, and as he swung it, a sharp whistling sound could be heard in the air.


    The confusion in the eyes of the Earth split Scorpion retreated, replaced by endless fierceness. Its pincers tore through the air fiercely as it met the attack head on.


    "Clang!"


    The collision of the two figures, completely unmatched, occurred. The Earth split Scorpion stood firm as a rock, while Red tumbled backward, clearly at a disadvantage in the simple clash.


    Naturally, due to their race, the petite Flame Cat is in a league of its own when it comes to pure strength, only comparable to the Earth split Scorpion if it is overwhelmed, otherwise it is impossible to be on par with it.


    At this moment, a faint red light shone in Regret''s eyes with some red light swirling about. On his right hand, there was also a faint glow emanating.


    "Spiritual power resonance?" The master Magi looked at Regret with interest.


    "Bang!"


    With a muffled sound, the Earth split Scorpion closed its pincers and heavily hammered them down towards the ground, causing sharp ground spikes to tear apart the earth, quickly spreading towards Red.


    "A spiritual beast without a spirit Mastert''s control dares to kill me, how foolish!"


    Regret snorted coldly, slowly raised his right hand, then suddenly twisted it. The two flaming claws of Red rose with searing flames, shattering the incoming sharp earth spikes instantly into pieces, scattering them all around!


    "So this is spiritual power resonance." Regret sighed lightly in his heart, feeling as if he had merged with the Red. Even if he closed his eyes, the sights that the latter could see were also presented before him.


    "A spirit master who cannot control spiritual beasts is no different from an ordinary person. If you can''t even perform spiritual power resonance, what''s the point of a spirit master?


    You''ve only just begun to experience the wonders of the Spiritual Beast Continent; the road ahead is long." The master Magi circled around, finally diving back into that old book, leaving only a faint voice lingering in the empty space.


    "Feeling quite good, as a token of my gratitude for improving my mood, I''ll gladly accept the gift from the snow family without hesitation." S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Regret smiled, his handprint suddenly changed, a strange light flashed in the eyes of Red, then suddenly swooped towards the Earth split Scorpion''s back. The two intersecting Cat claws left clear red traces in the air.


    "A loud bang!"


    With a deep muffled sound, amidst the dust, the enormous body of the Earth split Scorpion slowly fell to the ground while the vitality in its eyes gradually dissipated.


    Atop the corpse of the Earth Split Scorpion, Red panted heavily, lowering its small head. Under its claws, the shell of the Earth split Scorpion was already covered with wounds of various sizes, the deepest one clearly located near its head.


    "The resonance of spiritual power does wield formidable power, but the consumption of spiritual power is also terrifying."


    Regret also looked weary. The sixth order Earth split Scorpion was far stronger than the Snow Ape, and being of the rock type spiritual beast, it had a certain restraint effect on fire type spiritual beasts. If someone were to command it, the outcome of this battle might not be so simple.


    Jumping to Regret''s side with the last of its strength, Redt''s legs trembled slightly before curling up beside him. This was a clear sign of complete depletion of strength and spiritual power. Looking at the wounds on the Earth Split Scorpion''s body, one could only guess how many times it had attacked.


    "Now, I should be able to use the Flame Spirit Grass."


    Gently lifting Red, Regret took out the Flame Spirit Grass from his bag. It had to be said that spiritual herbs were truly exceptional, far beyond the likes of materials such as Purple Profound Leaves; it was difficult to destroy them without significant impact.

 Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Fourth Stage

    With a light curl of its tongue, the Flame Spirit Grass was swallowed, and immediately, the temperature of Red''s body rose. A crimson light, resembling a hazy halo, formed around its body.Subsequently, the spiritual power in the surroundings, as if attracted by something, rushed rapidly into its body.


    "Wu!" S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a comfortable soft hum, a slight increase in fur on the body of Red was barely noticeable, yet Regret could easily discern it, having been together with Red day and night.


    "Breakthrough." Regret looked at the slightly raised eyelids of Red with joy.


    "Flame Spirit Grass is indeed a genuine spiritual medicine. Moreover, this little Flame Cat has been fighting all day. If it couldn''t break through, that would be truly strange." The master Magi in the bag was completely unconcerned, not even materializing.


    Regret just smiled at this. The master magi had a different perspective, but he was still just a spirit master novice. The stronger his contracted spirit beast became, the different his feelings in his heart.


    "It''s time to go back."


    Gazing at the forest about to be engulfed in darkness, Regret locked eyes with Red. After the spiritual resonance between the two during their training, they seemed to have established a subtle connection, able to perceive each other''s thoughts without deliberate expression.


    After a simple dinner, Regret quickly returned to his room, tightly shutting all doors and windows. Once there was a secret, everything had to be done with extreme caution. Though he trusted the people in the Blaze family, there was always the ''what if.''


    Especially with the existence of the master magi, he couldn''t afford for anyone to discover. If news accidentally leaked out, the Blaze family alone wouldn''t be able to handle it.


    The Cat claws lightly patted Regret''s face, while in the eyes of Red, an inexplicable brilliance flickered.


    "Don''t hit me, I understand."


    Regret muttered helplessly, then took out the wooden basin. Now he finally realized the kind of moving consumable he had with him. Other spiritual masters'' spirit beasts could only absorb one bottle of condensing spirit liquid per day at most, but for Red, it was a piece of cake.


    "Let''s try today''s fresh goods."


    The condensing spirit liquid on the table had long been treated as trash by the Master Magi and used for watering plants. Only six empty medicine bottles were left. Regret took out a gel like light ball from the bag, squeezed it open, and found that it could fill all six bottles.


    "I didn''t expect it to be so plentiful."


    After a simple measurement, Regret opened another light ball with confidence, poured all the liquid into the wooden basin, to prevent using too much medicine at once and causing harm to Red''s body.


    "Don''t worry, your little flame cat can endure a lot. It''s unlikely to die in general situations." The Master Magi crossed his hands and smirked slightly.


    Red growled softly and swiped a claw again.


    "Stop messing around, both of you."


    Regret separated them and gently placed the protesting Red in the wooden basin. Only then did the latter calm down. However, with its two claws still on the edge of the basin, its gaze was fixed firmly on the Master Magi. It was probably considering when to find an opportunity to swipe at him again.


    The Azure Spirit liquid in the wooden basin was a dark green color.


    Regret could see that strands of liquid kept surging towards the body of Red without stopping, and then flowing out again, but when it came out, the color had clearly lightened quite a bit.


    Soaked in the Azure Spirit liquid, Red felt very comfortable, although its two claws still gripped the wooden basin. However, its eyes narrowed slightly, and faintly, there was even a slight snoring sound coming out.


    "This little thing."


    Master Magi shook his head and smiled, then buried himself back into his books. After a clangorous noise, the room once again returned to calm.


    In the following days, aside from eating, Regret stayed in the room all the time, while Red never left the wooden basin. Even during meals, Regret had to feed it hand to mouth. Master Magi scolded them for being so attached, but Red couldn''t be bothered anymore. Every time the former spoke up, it would just turn its butt away in a spoiled manner.


    The stronger the spiritual power of a spirit beast, the richer the spiritual power contained within the spirit master. Regret sat cross legged on the bed, continuously adapting to this feeling. If he were to use the Flame Step now, he should be able to easily step out a hundred steps.


    Having practiced for seven days straight, the sense of unreal power increase in Red had completely stabilized. If they were to encounter the Earth Split Scorpion again, it wouldn''t be as troublesome as last time, and Regret might not even need to resonance their spiritual powers.


    Opening the door, the dazzling sunlight shone down. Regret squinted slightly, then strode out with Red.


    The reason he went out today was to sell off the remaining Azure Spirit liquid he had and buy a large quantity of medicinal herbs needed to refine the Azure Spirit liquid. As Master Magi had mentioned, he urgently needed a Void Realm Stone now, or else carrying around a bag all day might make others think he''s crazy.


    "Cousin, I was just looking for you."


    Regret had not walked long before he saw Qistina''s cheerful face full of happiness, running over from the side. The green vine behind her was still stumbling along, but the thorns on the vine had become much sharper. If anyone underestimated it because of its behavior, they would surely pay a painful price.


    "Why, is there an event in the family?" Regret stopped in his tracks and asked with a smile.


    "Did you forget? Today is the day for distributing Condensing Spirit Liquid in the family." Qistina gave Regret a white look. She had been looking forward to this important event for several days, but Regret had not paid it any mind.

 Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Kartis Kai

    On the ground, Qistina''s green vine waved its long tendrils, trying to provoke Red furiously. Unexpectedly, Red didn''t even lift its eyelids, just hummed softly and pressed close to Regret''s neck."Your spirit beast really has quite the personality," Qistina said helplessly.


    "No choice, the differences in species are quite large." Regret innocently shrugged his shoulders. He had also noticed that apart from him, Red seemed to have no warmth for any other creatures.


    "Oh, cousin, I forgot to tell you, it seems like there has been a last minute change in the Elder in charge of distributing the spirit condensing liquid for the Blaze family today," suddenly, Qistina''s gaze became serious.


    "Who?" Regret felt something was amiss.


    "Kartis Kai."


    "Well, it seems things are getting a bit lively then." Regret''s eyes narrowed slowly and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.


    "Let''s go."


    Today, for the Blaze family, it was not an ordinary day. All the young ones who had gone out for training or tasks were gathered in front of the main hall, whispering to each other, making the place lively.


    As Regret passed by, many clan members warmly greeted him. Of course, he noticed the sympathetic glances toward him, especially when they saw Red. However, he just smiled faintly without paying much attention.


    "Regret, are you interested in coming with me to Bloodstone Pass for training? The spirit masters there are much better than the ones here."


    "Don''t listen to him. Bloodstone Pass is boring. Come with me to the Twilight Cloud Forest to catch spirit beasts. If we catch a talented one, we can earn a few bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid."


    "Tsk, you''re only catching low level spirit beasts, at most one fetches ten gold coins. And you''re lucky if you catch one in a day, don''t think I don''t know."


    In the end, the two Blaze family members were about to quarrel, and the surrounding young people burst into laughter. Regret also had a gentle smile on his face. The cohesion among the Blaze family members was remarkably strong.


    The spirit masters in Veloria City knew that the Blaze family had only appeared here about a dozen years ago, as newcomers. Back then, the local power, the Snow family, was naturally unhappy. But after being collectively taught a lesson by the Blaze clan several times, they eventually accepted the Blaze family''s presence here.


    However, friction had never been absent in recent years.


    "Hehe, finally, today has come. With this bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid, and the few bottles I''ve saved up for the past few months, I should be able to advance my Golden bird to the next level."


    "Blaze Tom, lend me yours. I''ve been wandering in the Twilight Cloud Forest for days with no gains. I''m so desperate."


    "Go away, how can I lend it to you? For the sake of buying a book on body refining techniques, my Green Vine Monster hasn''t tasted the flavor of Spirit Condensation Liquid for a long time."


    From the mouths of these young men and women, it is not difficult to hear the importance of Spirit Condensation Liquid for the practice of spirit beasts. Only Regret has little desire for this medicinal liquid, while others are eagerly seeking it.


    However, at present, Regret has not planned to refine Azure Spirit Liquid for the clan. This is not because he is stingy. The appearance of a new type of medicine will undoubtedly cause a stir in Veloria City. By then, it is feared that not only the Snow family but also other several families will force the Blaze family to hand over the prescription. This is not what Regret wants to see.


    "Why hasn''t the Second Elder come yet? I still have tasks to do later."


    "I''m not sure, maybe he went to the warehouse to get us Spirit Condensation Liquid."


    Except for Regret and Qistina, the others are still unaware that there have been changes in the clan''s internal affairs elders.


    "He''s here, he''s here."


    Seeing the flickering figure in the distance, the place instantly quieted down, and Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Who is this person; it seems like he''s not the Second Elder."


    "I don''t know. Ask Regret; he''s always in the clan."


    Walking slowly to the front, Kartis Kai scanned the surroundings and smiled, saying, "I''m Kartis Kai from the Kartis family. Elder Blaze Peter is not here for some reason. From now on, I will be in charge of internal affairs for the Blaze family."


    The young people of the Blaze family, after glancing at Kartis Kai, indifferently withdrew their gazes, unconcerned about who the elder overseeing internal affairs was. As long as they obtained the Spirit Condensing Liquid, that was all that mattered.


    "Kartis family, huh."


    A few voices of disdain quietly emerged, mostly from those who had witnessed Kartis Van''s ugly face days before.


    "Elder Kartis Kai, hurry up, many people have things to do." Blaze Tot, who had invited Regret to Bloodstone Pass, was the first to speak. The Blaze family tradition dictated that those in charge of specific affairs were given the title of elder. Only the patriarch Blaze Ash and the second elder Blaze Peter were truly recognized.


    "Alright, from now on, my grandson Kartis Man will be in charge of distributing the Spirit Condensing Liquid. kartis Man, come over here."


    Waving towards the back, Kartis Kai walked towards the outskirts of the area with a meaningful smile on his face before leaving. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Cousin, Kartis Man seems to be looking for trouble," Qistina frowned slightly.


    Seeing Kartis Man approaching with a smile, Regret felt no sense of urgency but rather a growing interest. He was eager to see what kind of tricks Kartis Man would play.


    Glancing at the younger generation of the Blaze family, Kartis Man''s smile intensified. He had yet to find anyone stronger than himself among them. With his eighth grade spiritual beast and the highest grade being Blaze Tot''s seventh grade Blue Flame Beast, Kartis Man felt a sense of superiority.


    Blaze Family? Just so so!

 Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Got Targeting 1

    Big Brother Kartis Van is really overthinking it. Just a small family, an existence that can be easily crushed by just moving a finger. If not for the empire''s regulations, the Kartis family could easily overthrow the Blaze Family. When that time comes, looking for that thing again will be like a walk in the park."Ha!"


    Thinking of this, Kartis Man patted his waist, and a purplish black stone appeared in front of him, spinning around.


    "It''s a Void Realm Stone!"


    The younger generation of the Blaze Family flashed with surprise in their eyes, not expecting Kartis Man to have such a rare item.


    "Ignorant, making a fuss."


    With a light hum in his mouth, Kartis Man flicked his fingers, and bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid shimmered out from the Void Realm Stone, floating in the air.


    "Swoosh!"


    In an instant, under Kartis Man''s control, bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid flew in front of everyone, while the Void Realm Stone returned to Kartis Man''s waist like a small ornament.

    "Let''s go. Finally got it. Blaze Tot, when my Xuanjin Bird''s strength improves, we must have a good fight."


    "No problem, just afraid you won''t show up."


    The tribe members who obtained the Spirit Condensing Liquid did not hesitate at all, they turned and walked in different directions. They all had tasks at hand, returning to their tribes, just a routine activity.


    "Just a moment!"


    Qistina''s slightly annoyed voice suddenly sounded, causing the departing tribe members to halt and quickly return.


    "What''s the matter?" Blaze Tot looked puzzled at Qistina.


    "Why doesn''t my cousin Regret have one?" Qistina''s face was ice cold as she stared at Kartis Man. Each member of the Blaze family present had been given a bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid except for Regret.


    Rubbing his face with his palm, Regret showed no signs of anger but instead smiled faintly. The methods of the Kartis family were still so rudimentary that even he found it somewhat unbearable.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Tot furrowed his brows and shifted his gaze to Kartis Man.


    "We only had this much stock in the warehouse, there''s nothing I can do about it." Kartis Man chuckled and shrugged, but his gaze was fixed on Regret.


    "That''s impossible, the warehouse strictly allocates goods according to the number of people. Last night, the second elder had already checked." A Blaze family member immediately spoke up.


    "How forgetful of me, there''s still one more bottle." Kartis Man slapped his forehead, looking remorseful before taking out a bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid from the Void Realms stone.


    Looking at the Spirit Condensing Liquid in Kartis Man''s hand, the expressions of the members of the Blaze family all subtly changed. This bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid only had half the dosage, with impurities suspended inside, resembling a semi useless liquid!


    "Young Master Blaze, I''m truly sorry, this is the only bottle we have. Come over and take it," Kartis Man shook the small bottle in his hand, smiling mischievously, his words filled with playful meaning.


    Looking at Kartis Man holding half a bottle of spirit condensing liquid, everyone present couldn''t help but furrow their brows slightly. By now, everyone understood that Kartis Man was deliberately targeting Regret.


    "What do you mean?" Blaze Tot''s face turned grim as he stared at Kartis Man, his eyes filled with coldness. A blue flame gradually rose around him, with the faint silhouette of a spirit beast flickering within. This spirit beast had a horn on its forehead, light blue eyes, and palm sized wings flapping behind it, it was his contracted spirit beast, the Blue Flame Beast.


    "I don''t mean anything. You all saw it too. In my Void Realm stone, I only have this bottle of Spirit condensing spirit liquid left. Although the dosage is insufficient, at least it is a top grade elixir." Kartis Man smiled and looked at Regret. He had a clear understanding of the situation in Blaze Family.


    With Regret''s strength, if he didn''t take this bottle of spirit condensing liquid, there would be no other source of elixirs for him.


    This move could be described as ruthless. Without timely replenishment of elixirs, the cultivation speed of novice grade spirit beasts would be at least one level slower than that of other spirit masters. The consequences of falling behind at the starting line were all too clear to every spirit master.


    It could be fatal.


    "Regret, come and take it quickly. I can apply for another one next month and give you two." Kartis Man casually shook the bottle of spirit condensing liquid in his hand, mixing the residue with the elixir.


    Two bottles?


    Many people present cursed in their hearts. Even if he were to give three bottles, it wouldn''t make up for the losses of this month. Two bottles were useless!


    "Regret, my Blue Flame Beast is already at the seventh rank. The effect of the Spirit condensing liquid is not significant anymore. You might as well use this bottle." Blaze Tot hesitated for a moment before handing the Spirit condensed liquid to Regret.


    Seeing this, Kartis Man''s expression changed imperceptibly. If Regret were to accept it, then his efforts today would have been in vain!


    Gently pressing Blaze Tot''s palm, Regret glanced calmly at Kartis Man who was shaking the spirit Condensing Liquid in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he smiled, saying, "As a collateral descendant of the Kartis family, you probably don''t have many resources at your disposal. Consider this vial of Spirit Condensing Liquid as a gift for our meeting."


    Regret emphasized the words "collateral descendant" particularly.


    As soon as these words were spoken, Kartis Man''s eyes turned cold. His hand holding the medicine bottle also stiffened in mid air. Being assigned to the Blaze family by Kartis Van at will indicated his low status within the Kartis family. He wanted to impress Kartis Van in order to gain more resources within the family. Regret''s words undoubtedly struck a nerve with him!


    "Blaze Regret, don''t you feel ashamed to use the resources of your clansmen for the advancement of your spiritual beast?" Kartis Man stared straight at Regret, his gaze piercing like a drawn sword.

 Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Got Targeting 2

    "I never said I would use them." Regret shrugged helplessly. Kartis Man''s way of thinking was truly incomprehensible to ordinary people."Ugh."


    The bored Red let out a low growl and fell asleep with a pout, leaving many speechless. Here, your spiritual master is being provoked by someone, yet here you are, not even raising an eyelid.


    "Do you not realize the significant impact missing out on nurturing the spirit Condensing Liquid can have on the growth of your spiritual beast?" kartis Man''s eyes twitched slightly at the corner as he gazed at Regret gently pushing back Blaze Tot''s hand. He spoke in a deep voice. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So what?" Regret sneered unapologetically.


    "Don''t forget you are the young master of the Blaze family. Although your main spiritual beast is useless, if your strength doesn''t improve, it will damage the reputation of the Blaze family." Kartis Man''s internal anger had reached its peak by now. If Regret still didn''t respond after all this, he would completely lose face!


    The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and on the flaming claws, clusters of flames rose up, emitting a scorching heat that spread out. But in the next moment, it laid back down comfortably, even smacking its lips as if the one who was called useless earlier wasn''t itself.


    "Preferring death with dignity to life full of suffering, the members of the Blaze family are truly disappointing," Kartis Man said each word with a thick hint of sarcasm in his eyes.


    "Ah." Regret casually replied, stroking the head of Red without any expression change, but then he flipped his palm, revealing a bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid, saying, "You''d better put away that bottle of yours. I have other medical, and it''s not inferior to yours."


    "What?" Blaze Tot and others were shocked. Just as they were about to speak, Regret uncorked the bottle, and a rich fragrance filled the area.


    "The scent is a bit different, but it is undoubtedly a medical liquid and its medical properties are extremely potent," Blaze Tot affirmed after a moment of hesitation.


    Although they didn''t know where Regret''s medicine came from, they only needed to know that today it was Kartis Man who lost face, and that was enough!


    "So, do you think what you have in your hand can surpass my bottle of medicinal liquid?" Regret raised his head with a cold smile.


    With an awkward gesture, Kartis Man held the bottle of medicine in his hand, unsure whether to put it away or keep holding it.


    "Is there anything else? If not, then you should leave. I''m quite busy," Regret glanced at Kartis Man indifferently.


    Gritting his teeth, the angry Kartis Man was about to fiercely throw the spirit condensimg liquid in his hand on the ground, but the dozens of eyes staring at him made him have to abandon this idea. He had no doubt that if he really threw it down, his fate would not be much better than the Spirit condensing liquid in his hand.


    "Hmph, just you wait!"


    Putting the spirit condensing liquid into the empty void realms stone, Kartis Man turned around with a grim face, his tightly clenched hand in his sleeve constantly trembling.


    "He really thinks highly of himself. I don''t know what the head of the family was thinking, actually entrusting the family''s internal affairs to an outsider."


    "Exactly, but it''s really satisfying. The young master is amazing, just a few words and he''s left speechless."


    "Let''s hurry and leave. I still have to deliver goods to the Sun family. That brat Kartis Man has delayed me, and I''m almost running late."


    "Nonsense, don''t think I don''t know. You have your eyes on Sun Ain, right? This kid is quite capable, faster than anyone in taking action!"


    The members of the Blaze family present waved their hands at Regret and quickly dispersed. In an instant, the scene was gone.


    "Don''t you have anything to do?" Regret looked at Qistina beside him and asked in confusion.


    "Well, I just completed a task and received a reward of fifty gold coins. Coupled with what I''ve saved over these years, I want to try my luck outside and see if I can buy some Wood Spirit Fruits." Qistina playfully blinked her eyes.


    With a sudden thought, Regret remembered that today was the day the Veloria City market opened. Many vendors and idle spirit masters would bring out their treasures to trade, in exchange for desired items, with a scale that might even surpass the Atlas Store.


    Walking down the spacious streets, the area ahead quickly became lively with people moving about. This level of market only took place once a month in Veloria City, and the location was within the protection range of the Blaze Family. There were rarely any troublemaking spirit masters who dared to cause problems here, and those with such history had long disappeared from Veloria City.


    On the street, many Blaze family members stationed there nodded slightly in respect upon seeing Regret.


    "Qistina, you go ahead and explore here first. If you come across the Wood Spirit Fruit, try to find a way to stay even if you don''t have enough gold coins on you," Regret smiled.


    The Wood Spirit Fruit was a peculiar fruit with a price of around 180 gold coins, which shouldn''t be a problem given the amount of gold coins Qistina had on her.


    However, in the context of the four major families, the Blaze Family was the strictest towards young clan members. To hone their skills, the family would not offer any assistance, which was why the young people seemed so poor.


    Nevertheless, the effectiveness of this requirement was evident. The Blaze family members, regardless of age or gender, were all impressive individuals.


    "Cousin, do you need something?" Qistina blinked her watery eyes in confusion.


    "Yes." Pointing to the distant Atlas Store, Regret said, "I go trade something there."


    Nodding obediently, Qistina didn''t ask further questions and headed towards a stall filled with spiritual herbs and medicinal materials. Seeing this, Regret walked away.


    Before coming, he had already filled five small bottles with Azure Spirit Liquid. How much gold they could fetch would depend on fate. Hopefully, it wouldn''t disappoint anyone.

 Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Azure Bird Rapid Evolution 1

    Regret greeted Mark and headed towards the dept of the upper bunk as if he know the way well. The quantity of Azure Spirit Liquid he intended to trade this time was not small, and the unit price was definitely much higher than that of Spirit Condensing Liquid. These peripheral merchants simply did not have the capability to handle it."High quality sixth order fire attribute spirit Core, only ten gold coins, limited quantity, first come, first served!"


    "Body movement type spirit technique, Wind Soaring Step, refined to the extreme, can briefly stay in mid air, come over and take a look if you want!"


    As he entered deeper, the noisy voices surged like a tide into Regret''s mind, making him slightly dizzy. After a while, he gradually adapted to it. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Here, it was much deeper than the last time he had come.


    "Young man, do you need anything?"


    Rejecting a spirit technique merchant with eyes shining, Regret scanned the layout inside and finally stopped in the south. Clearly, that was the place specially for selling elixirs, with dense Spirit Condensing Liquid placed on the shelves. Among them were many small boxes containing genuine elixirs, which were completely on a different level compared to Spirit Condensing Liquid in terms of price.


    The merchants who could have shelves in Thousand Herbs Hall were of high status, with much more gold coins in their hands compared to those small vendors outside.


    Absorbed in observing which shop looked more wealthy and powerful, Regret naturally did not notice that not far from him, a red-l clothed young lady was quietly sizing him up. Her charming face was pure and lovely, and her eyes were as clear as spring water.


    "Miss, that seems to be Blaze Regret from the Blaze family," the maid beside the young lady reminded.


    "Blaze Regret, it seems that you are not as unbearable as rumors suggest." The corner of the girl''s mouth lifted with a faint smile, momentarily captivating the male spirit masters around her.


    This girl is Sky Diana, the only daughter of the Sky family head, Sky Rodzi, pampered since childhood with beauty that undoubtedly ranks high in Veloria. Comparing to Qistina Blaze, she even outshines.


    "Here it is."


    Decided, Regret approached a merchant with a decent appearance, taking out a bottle of Azure Spirit Liquid from his bag and placing it gently on the counter.


    As the merchant was about to ask what he needed, he stopped himself, frowning, picking up the bottle of Azure Spirit Liquid and examining it.


    "What is this?" Glancing at Regret, the merchant couldn''t resist asking after a moment.


    "Azure Spirit Liquid, obtained by chance during my wilderness training, five bottles in total. Take a look and see how much it''s worth in gold." Regret calmly replied. It was risky enough to sell five bottles at once, even with the backing of the Blaze family.


    A spirit master novice holding many precious elixirs? Who would believe there no secret involved!


    "Azure Spirit Liquid? I don''t think I''ve heard of it." The merchant shook his head slightly, observing for a while before placing the bottle back on the counter.


    "It has the same effect as Spirit Condensing Liquid, used to enhance spirit beasts, but its potency surpasses the latter. One bottle is roughly equivalent to two of those." Regret chuckled.


    "What, this thing can also enhance spiritual beasts?"


    "Moreover, its effect is even better than the Spirit Condensing Liquid. How is that possible? It''s probably a scam!"


    When Regret''s words came out, a commotion immediately erupted around him. In the next moment, many spirit master gathered around, mostly spirit novice, and even a few spirit warrior. This was enough to prove how powerful the temptation of the potion that could enhance spiritual beasts was for spirit master.


    "A new type of potion to enhance spiritual beasts? I''ve never seen it. Could it be that a new alchemist has arrived in Veloria City?" Sky Diana stood outside the crowd, her eyes flashing.


    "Miss, should we go over and take a look?" The little maid servant encouraged her. It was easy to see that the two had a good relationship, with no distance between them as master and servant.


    "Forget it, we''ll go buy a bottle after he sells it." Sky Diana shook her head with a smile.


    "How can this be proven?"


    Behind the counter, the merchant also felt a hint of curiosity. He held a skeptical attitude towards the potion. If it wasn''t as powerful as Regret claimed, he wouldn''t proceed with the transaction at all.


    A merchant always prioritizes profit in every situation, and his main source of income is the price difference between potions. Making a loss once would take a long time to recover from.


    "Prove it?"


    Regret felt a little troubled. In the end, he gritted his teeth and a resolute look flashed in his eyes. After all, as long as he had enough materials, he could refine the Azure Spirit Liquid again. Besides, he had plenty of them in his bag, so let''s just waste a bottle for now.


    "Is there a first tier spiritual beast?" Regret looked up at the vendor.


    "Yes!"


    As if understanding Regret''s intention, a spirit master in the crowd shouted loudly, then silently chanted as a faint bluish spiritual array quickly took shape. A delicate azure bird flew out from it and landed in his palm.


    "Hehe, little brother, this is the azure bird I just formed a contract with a few days ago, conveniently a first tier. I haven''t had time to advance it, so you can use it temporarily."


    Seeing this scene, many people inwardly cursed at the despicability. Among so many people nearby, he was the quickest to act, and some hadn''t even reacted yet.


    Accepting the azure bird, Regret nodded slightly. For many spirit master, advancing their main spiritual beast is extremely difficult, leaving no energy to advance other contracted spiritual beasts unless they encounter more valuable ones. Therefore, many spirit master only have one spiritual beast that matches their own strength.


    This is also known as the spirit master''s Leader spiritual beast.

 Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Azure Bird Rapid Evolution 2

    "Hey, Karthik, are you being way too careless? If something happens, where will you go to cry?" Looking at the Azure Spirit liquid placed by Regret, a thin lipped female spirit master beside the person who had just given the azure bird couldn''t help but mock, her eyes filled with suspicion.Shifting his gaze, Regret looked at the spirit master who spoke.


    "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? You probably haven''t even used this elixir. You are here looking for a scapegoat for your experiments, despicable!" As she met Blaze Regret''s eyes, the female spirit master seemed to have already figured out his thoughts and couldn''t help but feel smug in her words.


    "Do you want to continue?" Ignoring the female spirit master, Regret scanned towards Karthik.


    "Let''s continue, anyway it''s not a cherished spirit beast!" Gritting his teeth, Karthik said fiercely.


    "Hmph, if you don''t listen to me, be prepared to suffer, kid. Your scheme succeeded, put in more effort in your performance. If you end up killing Karthik''s Azure bird, I''ll twist your head off." The female spirit master provocatively coldly snorted.


    "Splash!"


    Under the curious gaze of many, Regret took the wooden basin already filled with water, opened the bottle of Azure Spirit liquid, carefully dripped the medicine into the basin, and the color of the liquid in the basin quickly changed.


    "Chirp!"


    The Azure bird is a wood attribute spirit beast and doesn''t have much resistance to water. With the signal from its spirit master, it jumped into the basin by itself.


    "Bang!"


    In less than ten breaths, small water columns splashed from the basin, leaving the surrounding spirit master stunned.


    "Is it evolving already?"


    "Am I seeing this correctly? It''s only been a short while, and not even a tenth of the medicine in the basin has been absorbed!"


    Regret shook his head inwardly, but karthik was extremely excited when he handed the Azure bird''s, feeling like he had gained a huge advantage.


    "This medicinal liquid actually has such a great effect." The vendor, who was also watching the changes in the Azure bird, raised his eyebrows slightly and began to calculate the price in his mind.


    "Bang!"


    As the last trace of Azure disappeared, the wings of the Azure bird clearly extended a bit, instantly moving from second rank to third rank!


    "We''ve hit the jackpot!"


    The spirit master excitedly reached out his hand, allowing the Azure bird to land on his palm, then looked at Regret with burning eyes and patted his chest, saying, "Little brother, my name is Karthik. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come find me."


    Spirit warrior master in Veloria City had the qualifications to say this, as long as they didn''t provoke the three major families and the Angsana Pavilion, they could live freely.


    Smiling and nodding, Regret ignored the female spirit master who looked extremely unpleasant and turned his gaze to the impatient vendor. With a wave of his hand, he placed the remaining four bottles of Azure Spirit Liquid on the counter.


    "Now, let''s talk about the price."


    "Little brother, why talk about price? It''s 120 gold coins per bottle, just sell it to me directly!" A spirit master novice exclaimed immediately.


    "Forget it, just 120 gold coins, dreaming if you think you can buy this kind of medicine. I''ll offer 150 gold coins."


    Everyone present already understood the medicinal properties of Azure Spirit Elixir, which were far superior to the double spirit condensing liquid mentioned by Regret earlier. Moreover, after the Azure Bird used it, there was no sign of scattered spiritual power. With such a good thing, no one was willing to let it go!


    "Little brother, what do you think..."


    The vendor, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at Regret with a wry smile. He wasn''t just after these few bottles of Azure Spirit Elixir; it was the significance of this new medicine that appeared for the first time in Veloria City.


    Especially for a pill seller like him, he usually had connections with some alchemists. If he could analyze the pill formula for Azure Spirit Elixir, then he would make a big profit!


    "How much can you offer?" Regret smiled and looked at the vendor.


    "200 gold coins per bottle!" Gritting his teeth, the vendor took out a large bag of coins from the counter, slammed it on the table, and stared straight at Regret.


    "Deal."


    Regret put the heavy gold coins into his pouch, filled with joy in his heart.


    Alchemists truly are the most profitable profession!


    In his heart, Regret hummed softly, shouldered his cloth bag, gently touched the sleeping Red on his shoulder, turned around and left. The spirit masters around him gazed at Red''s figure with envy.


    Eight hundred gold coins were already the entire possessions for many spirit masters.


    "Did he really just happen to obtain it?"


    Flicking the azure spiri liquid bought at a high price by her maid, the green liquid rotated like a whirlpool. After careful observation, a strange light flashed in Sky Diana''s eyes: "Seems like something is off."


    "What''s wrong?" The maid was puzzled.


    "It''s nothing, maybe as a wind attribute spirit master, I''m just too sensitive to the smell of the liquid." S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sky Diana shook her head with a smile, not explaining much: "Let''s go, let''s go check out the spirit technique area. My spiritual power should be enough to learn some low level spirit technique."


    "Okay, let''s go."


    "Kid, quite mischievous." Just as Regret reached the door, Mark, playing with the gold coins, suddenly chuckled.


    "Elder, you haven''t figured out something else again, have you?"


    Looking at the ancient screen behind Mark, Regret felt slightly regretful. He had been too focused on selling the azure spirit liquid earlier, completely forgetting about this peculiar spiritual beast. If Mark had any ill intentions, he probably wouldn''t even know how he would have died.


    He still hasn''t completely trusted Mark, especially before his own strength is strong enough.


    "Heh, those golden balls wrapped in linen in your cloth bag are quite interesting." Mark smiled as he flicked one of the golden coins in his hand, making it spin smoothly on the table.

 Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Angsana Pavillion Festival

    "Don''t be nervous, even if you don''t enter the Atlas Shop, I can still clearly see what''s happening within three miles." Mark pointed to the painted folding screen behind him."Elder, I..."


    Regret was about to explain when he saw Mark stand up and beckon him, saying, "Come here, I can help you with your things."


    After a moment of contemplation, Regret followed Mark. After all, this was Veloria City, and besides the other two major families, no one else dared to make a move against him.


    Moreover, Mark had previously given him a spirit crystal, which was not much cheaper than the Azure spirit liquid in the package.


    "Is this thing refined from the Simulated Alchemisy Cauldron?"


    In a room filled with books, Mark examined a golden ball in his hand, observing the liquid inside with a peculiar look in his eyes.


    "I can''t hide it from the elder."


    Regret is completely convinced. It is said that Atlas Shop comes from the Empire, and the power behind the Angsana Pavilion is even more terrifying. Concealing infront such a strong person is obviously unwise.


    "Regret, can you tell me where this thing actually comes from?" Mark suddenly looked at Regret.


    "This¡­"


    "Don''t feel pressured. I''m just casually asking. Let''s talk about business. These golden ball, one thousand gold coins each, I''ll buy them all."


    "Okay." Regret this time did not show any difficulty, readily agreed. Mark''s offer seemed lower than the merchant''s, but he didn''t mind. Being able to sell them promptly was already very good.


    More importantly, the reason the price he sold at was high earlier was because of the scarcity. If he were to put out all the Azure spirit liquid at once, the value would likely decrease significantly.


    "This is my gold coin card. By the way, put these gold coins in it too."


    Regret conveniently took out the heavy gold coins from the package. The attendant who came over respectfully took the two items. When he returned, apart from returning the gold coin card to Regret, he also gently placed a cup of tea water next to Regret.

    "Manager Mark, do you have any void realms stones here?" Regret suddenly remembered something and asked.


    "Coincidentally, i have one." Mark chuckled lightly, tossed a hexagonal stone lightly, and it floated in front of Regret, emitting a slight sound of breaking wind as it rotated.


    "Price?" Regret scratched his head and asked.


    "Let''s say ten thousand gold coins."


    Upon hearing this, Regret showed a troubled expression. His current assets totaled only eight thousand gold coins, two thousand short of the price Mark had quoted.


    "Then eight thousand it is," Mark smiled.


    "Your gold coin card."


    Receiving the now empty gold coin card and the empty void realm stone from the assistent, Regret was still in a daze. Mark''s attitude towards him was just too strange, first gifting him a spirit crystal, and now waiving two thousand gold coins!


    "Regret, have you ever heard of the Angsana Pavilion Festival?" Mark asked seriously, finally getting to the main point.


    "Angsana Pavilion Festival, I think I''ve heard of it," Regret mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. At this moment, Red also finally woke up. With a turn of its body and a yawn, it lazily leaned against Regret''s neck.


    "You should know that in Veloria City, the Angsana Pavillion has sent representatives to several enterprises, not just the Atlas Shop. Apart from us, there are two other stores, and the competition is very fierce."


    Regret nodded slightly; he was aware of these matters.


    "And to avoid internal strife, Angsana Pavillion will dispatch people in three months to organize a trial. The winner will command the other two stores, and I believe I don''t need to explain the benefits involved," Mark said, looking at Regret with a meaningful gaze.


    "You wouldn''t want me to go, right?" Regret was somewhat helpless and amused. He had heard of the rules of the Angsana Pavillion Festival before. Every three years, in each city, a festival was held to test which shop stood more firmly within the city.


    During the Angsana Pavillion Festival, each shop would choose three spirit master novices from the city to go to specific locations to pick medicinal herbs. The total value of the herbs would determine which shop was stronger.


    However, the chosen spirit master novices were usually close to becoming spirit warrior, but Regret was far behind.


    "My old rival, the Golden Flame Shop, has already reached an agreement with the Snow family. Snow Amar from the Snow family is already an eighth rank spirit novice. It will be very difficult to defeat him."


    Snow Amar was Snow Feng''s older brother.


    An eighth rank spirit novice meant that his leading spirit beast had already reached the eighth rank, making him very powerful among the younger generation in Veloria City.


    "But I''m only a fourth rank spirit novice now." Regret shook his head helplessly. The outcome of a fourth rank facing an eighth rank could already be anticipated.


    "You still have three months. With your upgrading speed, I think your chances of winning are not small." Mark raised his teacup, moistening his dry lips before smiling.


    "These two thousand gold coins are my reward." He continued tempting Regret, "And after winning, Angsana Pavillion will also grant rewards. Those things are not easily found in Veloria City."


    "Let''s do it!"


    Regret''s expression turned fierce. He refused to believe that with his Master Magi at his side, he would not be able to catch up with Snow Amar in three months!


    "Screw this, why did I agree so easily!" Regret, stepping out of the Atlas shop, his face full of sorrow, completely lost the determined look he had just moments ago.


    "If I had known earlier, I should have said I needed to consider it more. That guy Snow Amar, just like Snow Feng, they are not good people."


    Muttering to himself, Regret had only taken a few steps when his expression suddenly changed, a bear like strong arm swiftly gripped his neck with a sound tearing through the air.

 Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Threat 1

    "Young brother, don''t make a sound." A heavy voice came from behind, carrying a strong sense of threat into Blaze Regret''s ears.Quickly nodding,Blaze Regret, looking innocent, was forcibly dragged by the big man behind him. In fact, at the moment he left the shop, he had already sensed someone tracking him. He had considered slipping away using the Flames step technique, but eventually decided to give up.


    The explosive power of a Spirit warrior far exceeds that of a Spirit novice, making it impossible to escape without creating distance first.


    "Brother, what do you want?" Blaze Regret, in the alley, looked at the tall man in front of him with a sullen face.


    "Tell me honestly, where did those bottles of elixir of yours come from?" The big man leaned in front of Blaze Regret, a ferocious expression on his face, tinged with a hint of savagery.


    "Hey, I already told you, I obtained them by chance, I only have six bottles in total. Such precious things, you think they are commonplace goods? Whatever quantity you want." Blaze Regret spread his hands, realizing that this guy had come for the Azure Spirit Elixir.


    The big man showed a look of disappointment, then his voice turned even more fierce: "Hand over all the gold coins on you, otherwise, today you will become a pile of bones in this alley!"


    "Big brother, it takes at least several decades to turn into a dry bones. You don''t even have this common sense," Blaze Regret sighed, looking like he was giving advice, which appeared very irritating to the big man.


    "Showing no face even when given a face!"


    The big man''s expression changed suddenly, clenching his fist, surging with faint spiritual power, fiercely striking towards Blaze Regret''s face. Obviously, the latter had successfully provoked his anger.


    Even without summoning a spirit beast, a spirit master warrior''s strike is enough to blast a spirit master novive''s head.


    "Hey, I advise you not to act, or it''s hard to say who will be lying here today." Blaze Regret pointed upwards, sounding somewhat helpless.


    "I advise you to mind your own business!" The big man remained unfazed, focused on eliminating Blaze Regret to claim the 800 gold coins from the trade deal entirely.


    "Listen to him, it''s best for you."


    In the instant before the fist touched Blaze Regret''s nose, a slightly sinister voice came from above, causing his expression to change abruptly.


    "Who''s there!"


    Raising his head, the big man''s pupils suddenly constricted, as he saw dozens of indifferent-looking youths standing on the high wall, each with a thunder eagle perched on their shoulders. An emblem with the same design hung on their chests, bearing words like burning flames.


    Blaze!


    This emblem, familiar to all spirit masters in Veloria City, is the unique emblem of the Blaze family.


    "Big brother, I didn''t know we couldn''t kill here. How about I take him outside?" Cold sweat formed on the big man''s forehead.


    Every member of the Blaze family coming will have at least the strength of a Spirit warrior, and only Spirit Masters worrior are qualified to guard the ancient Veloria City. Those with lower strength can only stay in remote places like the mountains.


    On the city wall, the young man in charge stuffs a piece of dried meat into the mouth of the Thunder Eagle without even looking at the big man. The Thunder Eagle on his shoulder has eyes as sharp as a sword.


    "Brother, this kid has 800 gold coins in his bag. After we kill him, all these coins will be yours, I guarantee no one else will know!" The big man felt even more anxious and just wanted to leave quickly.


    Everyone knows that among the four major families, the Blaze family is the most ruthless, especially these guards. When it comes to killing, they show no mercy at all.


    Therefore, within the jurisdiction of the Blaze family, either don''t cause trouble, or if you do, leave the city quickly!


    "You say he has 800 gold coins?" The young man in charge finally showed some interest in his eyes, and glanced subtly at Blaze Regret from the corner of his eye.


    "I saw it with my own eyes. This kid doesn''t know what kind of luck he had. After finding a few precious potions and selling them, he ended up with 800 gold coins!" Talking about it, the big man felt a pang of regret; a windfall slipped away just like that.


    But as long as he could escape, what did it matter if Blaze Regret lived or died?


    That''s why he tried to tempt the young man, hoping to arouse their greed so that he could escape while they were busy killing Blaze Regret.


    "Such good fortune?" The young man looked at Blaze Regret sideways, his eyes showing some disbelief. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll leave first." The big man leaned against the wall, quietly adjusting his position, his gaze towards Blaze Regret like looking at a dead man, with a hint of gloating deep in his eyes.


    "Don''t talk about all this nonsense. Get on with your business."


    With an angry shout, Blaze Regret waved at Red sticking out its tongue on the high wall. Upon noticing someone tailing them, he had Red go inform the Blaze family''s guard team.


    Fortunately, the arrival was relatively timely.


    "Let me formally introduce myself. My surname is Blaze, and my name is Blaze Regret." Blaze Regret smiled as he shrugged at the suddenly stunned giant of a man.


    "You... You are..." The giant man''s vision went dark for a moment. He only knew the names of some of the untouchable figures in Veloria City and had no idea what they looked like! Little did he know that kidnapping just anyone could be quite deadly.


    "What, don''t want my gold coins?" Blaze Regret smiled.


    "I was blind not to see Mount Tai, it was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" The big man wiped the sweat on his forehead, his voice trembling slightly with fear.


    "If all were misunderstandings, there wouldn''t be so many deaths in Veloria City every year." Blaze Regret smirked, then changed his tone, saying, "Two choices, one thousand gold coins or leave your life spirit beast behind. Which one do you choose?"

 Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Threat 2

    At these words, the big man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out a card from inside his clothes, saying with a bitter smile, "Young Master Blaze, let''s just let this matter go."Satisfied with the card, withdrawing one thousand gold coins, Blaze Regret glanced at the value of less than a hundred on it, threw the card to the big man, and said, "You still have a place to stay within Veloria City."


    "Thank you, Master Blaze." sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Cupping his hand, the big man shakily moved towards the outside of the alley. For any spirit practitioner without a background, a thousand gold coins was a deadly sum, but asking him to give up his lifebound spirit beast was out of the question.


    "Drip!"


    Just as the big man''s figure disappeared from view, a strange sound came from inside Blaze Khairul''s clothes. A snail sized object was taken out by Blaze Khairul, but apart from a few pearl like objects attached to the inside of the snail, it was already empty.


    Sound transmitting snails, the most common means of communication on the Spirit Beast Continent. By dripping a drop of each other''s slime into the shell, messages could be exchanged.


    Of course, this item consumes a lot of spiritual power, so even some spirit practitioners rarely use it.


    "Captain Blaze Khairul, there''s trouble over here. The guy from the Snow family is causing trouble for Miss Blaze Qistina. Should we get involved?"


    Without waiting for Blaze Khairul''s answer, a chilling look passed through Blaze Regret''s eyes: "Come with me."


    In today''s ancient Veloria City market, it was no different from previous days, the streets were still bustling.


    In addition to spiritual medicines and spiritual cores of various attributes, at every stall, there might be surprising discoveries, such as powerful spiritual technique, excellent quality spiritual beasts, and even some rare spiritual crystals that some people could find.


    More importantly, the prices of items sold at the market were much lower compared to those in the shops, so for some spiritual masters, each market day was an opportunity to improve their strength.


    "Wood Spirit Fruit, Wood Spirit Fruit, where are you?"


    In front of a stall, Blaze Qistina''s gaze carefully scanned through a pile of spiritual medicines, and finally, she couldn''t help but pout in disappointment.


    The Wood Spirit Fruit, a wood attribute top grade spiritual medicine, mostly grew on the Wood Spirit Tree in the deep mountains. A Wood Spirit Tree usually could only bear nine Wood Spirit Fruits, so even though it was of low rank, it was quite rare.


    "Found it!"


    Moving to a few more stalls, Blaze Qistina''s eyes suddenly lit up. In the corner of that stall, a green fruit was quietly lying there, emitting a faint green fluorescence.


    "Boss, how much for this Wood Spirit Fruit?" Blaze Qistina walked over in excitement, pointing to the Wood Spirit Fruit on the stall and asked, her voice slightly hurried due to excitement.


    "One fixed price, two hundred gold coins." Seeing Blaze Qistina''s eager expression, a hint of cunning flashed in the stall owner''s eyes.


    "Can''t you give me a little discount?" Blaze Qistina bit her red lips and stared at the stall owner with big watery eyes.


    "Oh, miss, you don''t know how rare this Wood Spirit Fruit is. When we found it, there happened to be a Grandmaster level Dry Grass Python nesting next to the Wood Spirit Tree. We had to put in a lot of effort to kill that Dry Grass Python to get this Wood Spirit Fruit." The stall owner splattered saliva as he described the dangerous scene.


    "Fine, I''ll pay the two hundred." Hastily avoiding the splattering saliva from the stall owner''s mouth, Blaze Qistina reluctantly took out a pouch containing two hundred gold coins and was about to give it to the stall owner.


    But suddenly, the Green Vine let out a cry, and its emerald vine rapidly extended, wrapping around the Wood Spirit Fruit.


    "Swish!"


    However, at that moment, a sharp earth blade shot out, cutting the Green Vine''s vine on the spot, and green blood splattered down in droplets.


    "Who?" Blaze Qistina''s face changed, anger showing on her pretty face.


    "Hehe, the Wood Spirit Fruit, a good thing, right boss? It''s two hundred gold coins, isn''t it?" Beside the half standing Centipede, Snow Feng walked over with a faint smile, casually throwing a pouch in front of the stall owner, about to grab the Wood Spirit Fruit at the corner of the stall.


    "Snow Feng, what do you mean by this? I saw it first!" Blaze Qistina angrily shouted. As the Green Vine retreated in pain, five or six emerald vines once again shot out with a crackling sound, piercing into the ground, creating a prison-like structure to protect the Wood Spirit Fruit.


    "You saw it first, but I paid first." Retracting his hand, Snow Feng''s face was full of provocation. The centipede body spun, and several earth blades again condensed and spun around it.


    "I have already discussed with the stall owner." Blaze Qistina remained calm and fearless, staring straight at Snow Feng. Though the green vine had taken a bit of damage, being a wood attribute spirit beast, its healing ability was strong. In a real fight, a third tier green vine still had some chance against a fourth tier centipede.


    Although that chance was really small.


    "Could it be that the younger generation of the Blaze family is as useless as that waste Blaze Regret, ignorant and arrogant!"


    Snow Feng sneered, scanning the surroundings, wanting to see if Blaze Regret was nearby. Previously, the spirit beast released by the elder unexpectedly died, which made him somewhat annoyed. It must have been discovered by the Blaze family''s law enforcement team. Otherwise, with the strength of the Earth split Scorpion, tearing apart Blaze Regret would be a piece of cake.


    "People from the Snow family have such foul mouths!" Blaze Qistina''s face turned slightly cold. The green vine moved, vines danced in the air, then with a sharp sound, violently pierced towards the centipede, the sharp tip shimmering.


    "Rock Armor!"


    Following Snow Feng''s command, the centipede''s body stiffened, the earth blades melted, turning into a hard layer of rock armor that quickly covered its whole body. The sharp vines pierced it, splattering a few dazzling sparks.

 Chapter 31: Chapter 31 He Dared to Hit Me

    "Rock armor that only a fifth tier centipede can comprehend?"As the battle unfolded, a group of spirit masters were attracted over, looking at the layer of rock on the centipede''s body, someone couldn''t help but softly exclaim.


    "Tier five?" Blaze Qistina was also shocked to see the situation. She quickly commanded the green vine to retreat in her mind. A third tier spirit against a fifth tier one had no chance of winning!


    "It''s too late!"


    A cruel smile appeared on Snow Feng''s face as he extended his right hand. Several spiritual seals surrounded it, and with a gentle tap towards the hundred leg centipede, he said, "Centipede split!"


    Centipede split was a unique spiritual skill of the hundred leg centipede, where hundreds of sharp long legs would swiftly cut, instantly shredding the opponent''s body!


    *Crack!*


    The hundred leg centipede wrapped its long vine around its green vine, twisted its body abruptly, and hundreds of long legs moved swiftly. The green vine instantly turned into a pile of vine fragments!


    *Splurt!*


    After the vine was severed, the green vine wriggled in a sorry state. Under the combined effect of the contract, Blaze Qistina''s face flushed with a touch of redness, a trace of blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth.


    "Tier five? This is too much!" In the distance, several white robed Blaze family members saw this scene, anger flashing in their eyes. They quickly summoned formations above their heads.


    "What are you doing?" The leader of the Blaze family members spoke in a cold voice, "The older generation should not intervene in the fights of the younger generation. Have you all forgotten?"


    "Captain, if we don''t stop him, that kid from the Snow family will surely kill the green vine!" Another Blaze family member spoke with bitterness.


    The death of a spiritual beast entails severe backlash for a spirit master. Within half a year, they cannot form a contract again!


    "By the way, it seems that Young Master Blaze Regret is nearby," someone muttered quietly.


    "Do you think it''s possible? Flame Cat against Centipede, besides being slaughtered, I really can''t think of any other outcome," the previous tribesman sighed and shook his head.


    "Inform Captain Blaze Khairul."


    "Bang!"


    The green vine fell to the ground, the place where the vine was previously extended was broken, green blood stained the ground, causing intense pain with convulsions all over, rolling on the ground like a ball.


    "Ah, the younger generation of the Blaze Family is really not doing well." Snow Feng picked up a wood spirit fruit, satisfied, and tossed it lightly: "Wood attribute spirit medicine, other than the Snow Family, it''s just a waste in the hands of others."


    Snow Feng himself is an earth attribute spirit master, but most of the Snow Family members, led by the Withered Wood Monster as the chief spirit beast, are considered a wood attribute family.


    "By the way, where is your cousin Blaze Regret? Is he scared and hiding somewhere secretly?" Snow Feng glanced at Blaze Qistina with a half smile.


    "Hehe, did you forget the miserable state you were in after being beaten before?" Blaze Qistina gently wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of her mouth and sneered.


    Blaze Regret had been suppressing his spiritual power for three years. Before achieving spiritual awakening, the spiritual power he possessed was undoubtedly the most powerful among the younger generation of the four major families. Snow Feng had always been the one Blaze Regret focused on taking care of.


    If anyone from the Blaze Family was bullied by Snow Feng, Blaze Regret would immediately rush over and beat them to a pulp.


    This matter has always been a joke among the spirit masters of Veloria City.


    "It''s all in the past. Now, does he dare to hit me?" Snow Feng disdainfully pursed his lips. This statement, if said a month ago, he probably wouldn''t have had the courage to say it so confidently. But ever since he found out that Blaze Regret''s spirit companion was the Flame Cat, he had completely lost any sense of fear.


    Especially last time, he had even seen with his own eyes the Flame Cat that Blaze Regret was carrying.


    "Kill!"


    With a focused mind, Snow Feng''s fierce gaze turned towards the green vine tendrils rolling on the ground. The centipede, upon receiving the command, shattered its rocky armor, returning to its peak speed, and was about to charge fiercely.


    "Come back!" Blaze Qistina hurriedly drew a formation, attempting to pull the green tendrils back into the spirit portal, but it was clear that time was running out!


    "It''s over!" Several members of the Blaze family slightly closed their eyes, unable to watch any longer.


    "Hey, I said, who said I wouldn''t dare to hit you now?"


    The indifferent voice of the young man pierced through the air. Before Snow Feng could react, he felt a fierce punch hitting his face hard.


    "Bang!"


    A deep muffled sound erupted as a huge force sent Snow Feng flying backward, stumbling back about a dozen steps before finally steadying his stance, a vivid reddish fist mark visible on his cheek.


    This scene unfolded in a flash, catching even some spirit masters off guard, as Snow Feng''s body had already moved far away from its original position.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Upon recognizing the figure still in a striking posture, many people exclaimed in surprise, their eyes shimmering with astonishment. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Cousin?"Blaze Qistina was momentarily stunned, then urged, "Quick, go! Snow Feng''s Hundred Foot Centipede has reached the fifth rank, even my Green Vine doesn''t stand a chance!"


    Fifth rank? Blaze Regret''s lips curved into a faint smile, but his gaze turned sharp as he beheld the pitiful state of the Green Vine.


    "Blaze Regret, you dare to come out?"


    The furious gaze fixed tightly on Blaze Regret, who was rubbing his fist. In Snow Feng''s heart, a hint of killing intent slowly surged.


    Just now, he was actually got punched by Blaze Regret and sent flying?!


    How is that possible!


    "Heh, he dares to hit me?"


    The bold words spoken not long ago still lingered in his ears. Snow Feng felt the pain on his cheeks and the strange gazes around him, causing his fist to tighten instantly.


    "Kill him!"

 Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Instant Kill 1

    The spiritual seal wrapped around his fingers as Snow Feng suddenly pointed at Blaze Regret. It was clear that he truly intended to kill the latter on the spot!"Captain, should we intervene?" Seeing the return of Blaze Khairul, the younger generation of the Blaze family finally seemed to have found their backbone and quickly asked.


    "Let''s watch." Blaze Khairul didn''t say much, with a calm gaze turning towards the centipede swiftly changing its posture in the field.


    "This will be interesting to watch. I wonder who will come out on top between Snow Feng and Blaze Regret."


    "Nonsense, it must be Snow Feng. Who in Veloria City doesn''t know that Blaze Regret''s spiritual beast is just a useless spiritual beast?"


    "I also have high hopes for Snow Feng. Ah, the young master of the Blaze family is still full of youthful vigor. If he hides away, maybe this challenge wouldn''t have happened."


    Ignoring the whispers around him, Blaze Regret''s face slightly tilted as he softly said to Red, "Take it down, no problem, right?"


    Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Red let out a happy low murmur and, still maintaining a bewitching state, lightly jumped off Blaze Regret''s shoulder with a graceful movement.


    "Iron Blade!"


    With a low shout from Snow Feng, as the centipede swiftly advanced, two earthy yellow iron blades appeared floating above it and then crossed each other, shooting towards Red.


    The rock formed sharp blades gradually enlarged in his eyes, Red''s expression indifferent. With a swift swing of his furry Cat paw, sharp claws popped out with a sharp gust of wind and were rapidly wielded.


    Instantly, several blurry traces intertwined in front of Red.


    Speed Claw!


    Lightning fast, the iron blades were crushed by his claws. Red pressed his Cat tail to the ground, leaped up suddenly, and the body of the centipede that swung towards him harshly swept under from below his body.


    "Hundred Feet Rupture!"


    When the initial strike missed, the millipede''s body swiftly curled up. Hundreds of its blade like sharp legs flailed wildly, coiling towards Red like a snake capturing its prey. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Do you think you can match my sharpness?"


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret let out a cold laugh in his heart.


    The centipede''s rank was higher than Red''s, but don''t forget, the centipede was only a mid tier novice level spirit beast, whereas Red was a high tier novice level spirit beast!


    The difference in rank can sometimes more than make up for the gap in apparent strength!


    Red fur danced in the wind as Red''s eyes sharpened. With one grip of its Cat claws, searing flames wrapped around them, and then a claw slashed out.


    Everyone could see a dazzling red gleam slicing through the centipede''s icy sharp legs!


    "Blaze Regret has gone mad?"


    Many spirit masters were dumbfounded. In a state of enchantment, Red, who was merely a fourth tier low level novice spirit beast, actually dared to confront the centipede head on!


    "Idiot." Snow Feng''s face revealed a disdainful smile. He seemed to have already envisioned Red''s claw being shredded into minced meat!


    "Crack!"


    However, the next moment left countless people in shock. They saw Red''s flaming claws slash down from mid air, and the centipede''s sharp legs, as fragile as thin paper, snapped in half with a crisp sound!


    The clear sound of metal breaking filled the air, forming a continuous stream!


    "How is this possible?"


    The smile that had just appeared on Snow Feng''s face froze instantly. Staring at the centipede''s severed legs flying in the air, he was momentarily at a loss for words.


    "Rock Armor!"


    The fierce roar rang out as the centipede disregarded the pain, immediately activating its rocky armor. The hardened rock shell covered its body, temporarily restraining the flowing blood.


    "Sizzle!"


    Sparks flew as the fiery claws scraped across the rocky armor, leaving a distinct white mark.


    "Blaze Regret, today I refuse to believe that you can break through the centipede''s rock armor!" Snow Feng growled in disbelief.


    A fifth tier centipede losing to a fourth tier flaming Cat? This reality was causing him to feel somewhat shattered.


    Especially since earth type spirit beasts had a slight advantage against fire type spirit beasts!


    "Rock armor, indeed troublesome." Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed as a pure white spirit mark appeared on his slender fingers. "But, it''s not impossible to break."


    The flame Cat stared fiercely at the petrified centipede, flames burning on both claws.


    "Swoosh!"


    Launching forward, the flaming claws relentlessly struck the centipede''s rocky armor, filling the air with crisp sounds.


    After a moment, the flames subsided, leaving the flame cat facing the unscathed centipede without even a scratch on its rocky armor!


    "Too bad." Many spiritual masters shook their heads secretly. The rock type spiritual beasts not only possessed powerful strength, but their defense far exceeded that of other elemental spiritual beasts, making it very difficult to defeat them.


    However, Blaze Regret was able to achieve this, which was already far beyond their expectations, even though this battle could only be considered a draw.


    "Haha, I told you, you can''t break the rock armor of the centipede!"


    Snow Feng laughed heartily, but in the next moment, his smile abruptly faded, replaced by a hint of paleness that surged onto his face.


    "What''s going on?" A member of the Blaze family couldn''t help but ask in a low voice while feeling relieved for Blaze Regret.


    "Snow Feng lost." Blaze Khairul, who was on the verge of breaking through to become a spirit Grandmaster, possessed far superior vision compared to ordinary spirit master warrior. At this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Snow Feng lost, how is that possible?" Some still couldn''t believe it.


    "Chi!"


    Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the rigid body of the centipede moved slightly, and dozens of bloodlines pierced through the rock armor, splattering in the air with a sharp sound!


    "Poof!" Snow Feng finally spat out a mouthful of blood. Obviously, this scene further confirmed the fact that the centipede had been severely injured!


    "Whoosh!"


    Astonished gasps erupted among the various spiritual masters, and incredulous gazes all turned towards the calm faced Blaze Regret, then slowly shifted towards the seemingly indifferent little flame cat.


    Blaze Regret actually won! And it was almost an instant kill!

 Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Instant kill 2

    "You''re cheating!"Spitting out the last bit of blood from his mouth, Snow Feng stared fiercely at Blaze Regret, a hint of madness lingering in his eyes.


    "Stop the nonsense and hand over the stuff."


    Ignoring Snow Feng''s attempt to justify his failure, Blaze Regret extended his hand with a flat tone.


    "Go to hell!"


    As Blaze Regret''s voice fell, Snow Feng suddenly stomped on the ground, his figure bursting out violently, a gleaming sharp knife slipping into his palm.


    However, his target was not Blaze Regret, but Blaze Qistina not far away!


    "Despicable!"


    Blaze Khairul''s expression changed drastically, and strands of lightning energy immediately swirled around the wings of the Thunder Eagle. With a fierce flap, his figure turned into a golden streamer, swooping down.


    Although the Thunder Eagle''s speed was swift, Snow Feng''s speed was not slow either, especially since he also used body type spiritual arts!


    The scene in the arena made many onlookers, especially spirit masters, raise their eyebrows. Everyone knew that today''s challenge had escalated significantly!


    One wrong move, the Blaze Family and Snow Family, won''t have a good future!


    Looking at the approaching blade and Snow Feng''s cruel smile, Blaze Qistina was momentarily stunned there, feeling a bit at a loss.


    "Trash, truly just trash."


    A cold voice sounded, Blaze Regret''s figure moved, and under his feet, blazing flames suddenly surged.


    "Whoosh!"


    In a few flashes, Blaze Regret suddenly appeared in front of Snow Feng, his indifferent face making the latter''s cruel smile instantly solidify.


    "Get lost!"


    A low growl echoed, Blaze Regret''s right foot, carrying scorching flames, fiercely kicked Snow Feng in the chest.


    So, everyone could see that as Snow Feng ran, he was knocked back as if hit by a giant rock, flying out with a bang, sliding five or six meters along the ground before slowly coming to a stop.


    Watching this scene, many Spirit Masters secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even some Spirit master felt their scalps numb, not daring to say that they could withstand Blaze Regret''s kick without deploying any defensive Spirit Arts.


    "Uh, it seems I overreacted." Recalling the flying Thunder Eagle, Blaze Khairul murmured, his voice, for the first time, carrying a hint of seriousness. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Among the people present, only he and a few Soul Masters could perceive just how majestic the spiritual power contained in Blaze Regret''s kick was!


    "Wu!"


    A low growl from Red, followed by furry paws pressed down on Snow Feng, who was trying to get up, firmly pushing him back to the ground.


    "Do you think I won''t dare to kill you?"


    Picking up the sharp knife from the ground, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes gleamed with a cold light as he slowly walked towards Snow Feng''s position.


    "It''s getting serious." The onlookers, all spirit master, involuntarily took a step back, fearing the impending situation might involve them.


    "I... I surrender!"


    Trembling, Snow Feng reached into his clothes and took out the wood spirit fruit, hurriedly raising it up. His quick moving eyes showed the panic he couldn''t control inside.


    "Now you decide to surrender?"


    Taking the wood spirit fruit, Blaze Regret casually tossed it to Blaze Qistina. But his cold eyes, sharp as a blade, still locked onto Snow Feng.


    Under Blaze Regret''s sharp gaze, Snow Feng couldn''t help but shiver, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. For the first time in his life, he felt the threat of death!


    "This is what you should have surrendered in the first place. Now, it''s the punishment for your wrong doing."


    With a sudden killing intent in his eyes, Blaze Regret lifted his foot again, the sharp sound of breaking wind accompanying his merciless kick towards Snow Feng''s chest.


    There, is the location of dantian of Spirit Masters and the source of their spiritual power!


    "Hiss!"


    Looking at Blaze Regret, who showed no hesitation, the Spirit Masters in the field couldn''t help but take in a sharp breath, even Blaze Khairul widened his eyes unexpectedly!


    "No!"


    In Snow Feng''s eyes, a touch of despair flashed, and a warmth, uncontrollably gushed out from between his legs.


    "Blaze family''s brat, daring to be so ruthless, aren''t you afraid of retribution?"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s foot was about to kick at Snow Feng''s chest, a huge black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, causing Blaze Regret''s pupils to shrink slightly. Together with the bristling Red, he quickly retreated.


    "Bang!"


    The black shadow landed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.


    As the dust cleared, a giant Earth split scorpion appeared under the gaze of hundreds of eyes. The Earth split scorpion was about around six meters long, with patterns on its body resembling the grooves of a mountain rock. Its slightly drooping tail shimmered with a sharp gloss.


    On the back of the Earth split scorpion, an old man with a gloomy look stared at Blaze Regret, a strong aura spreading out.


    "Snow Ahmad?"


    As the old man''s appearance became clear, the spiritual masters in the field all had a glint in their eyes. They might not have known Blaze Regret and Snow Feng before, but they were unmistakably familiar with this Snow Ahmad.


    Snow Ahmad, the second elder of the Snow family, had surpassed the level of a spirit master warrior and had truly become a spirit Grandmaster, elevating his strength beyond that of the spirit master warrior. Though "spirit Grandmaster" was a stage that all practitioners know after spirit master warrior, stepping into this realm meant having the capital to truly navigate the continent.


    "How did this old man come?" Blaze Ahmad muttered. Without hesitation, he swiftly pulled out a voice transmitting snail from his pocket.


    "Elder, kill him for me!"


    Previously surrounded by fear, Snow Feng''s expression instantly turned fierce. Pointing a finger at Blaze Regret, his body moved, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.


    It was clear how powerful Blaze Regret''s previous kick had been.


    "What a ruthless kid! Just a friendly match, yet such heavy handedness. If I let you grow, would you have to exterminate the Snow family?"

 Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Snow Ahmad 1

    A tap of Snow Ahmad''s foot and the Earth split scorpion like limbs of the ground crevice scorpion began to move swiftly. The sharp tips of its legs left traces on the ground, accompanied by a chilling sound that made one''s scalp tingle."Elder Snow, don''t push it too far!"


    Blaze Khairul''s face turned serious as a dozen Thunder Eagles flapped their wings and soared into the sky. Thunderbolts shot out of their mouths, piercing the air like flowing light, enveloping the ground beneath Snow Ahmad''s feet in a barrage.


    "Too weak."


    The Earth Splitting Scorpion''s pincers lifted, as deep yellow spiritual power wall condensed, forming a rock wall that easily blocked the approaching Thunderbolts shot. The Thunderbolts shot was powerful enough to pierce any novice level spiritual beast, yet it left no trace on the rock wall!


    "Snow Ahmad, I''m done playing with you!"


    Having a moment to catch his breath, Blaze Regret quickly retracted Red into his spiritual portal. Then, flames emerged under his feet as he swiftly arrived beneath a high wall. Stepping onto it effortlessly, his action make all the people show a shocked looks.


    "Is this... the Flame Step?"


    A fire attribute spirit master''s mouth twitched slightly. For him, the Flame Step was solely meant for accelerating, not for climbing high walls.


    This required not only highly concentrated spiritual energy but also lengthy practice. Why would an ordinary person bother practicing this in their spare time? But Blaze Regret clearly wasn''t following the rules!


    "Goodbye!"


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s laughter, Snow Feng couldn''t help but scream, "Elder, you can''t let him go so easily!"


    "Wanna run?"


    With a scornful smirk on his face, Snow Ahmad''s Earth Split Scorpion suddenly shook. A sharply edged piece of armor automatically detached and, with a piercing sound cutting through the air, darted like lightning towards Blaze Regret''s back!


    Blaze Regret''s foot suddenly stepped on a few high walls in succession, disappearing along with the armor piece in front of everyone. Only the sound of tearing air from the armor piece faintly echoed in the surroundings.


    "Elder Snow, you have gone too far," Blaze Khairul''s gaze towards Snow Ahmad was particularly dark.


    Other spirit masters also frowned inwardly, seeing Elder Snow Ahmad making a move against a junior wasn''t a good look no matter how you attack it.


    With a killing intent on his gaze, Elder Snow Ahmad flicked his sleeve and calmly said, "Take the things and give back."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Qistina''s pretty face changed instantly. She naturally understood what Elder Snow Ahmad meant by "things."


    "It''s yours!" Biting her silver teeth, Blaze Qistina waved her jade hand and tossed a green wood spirit fruit towards Snow Feng.


    "Dare to touch something belonging to my Snow family, you don''t know your limits."


    Smiling mockingly, Snow Feng was about to take the wood spirit fruit when suddenly Snow Ahmad''s pupils constricted sharply.


    "Swoosh!"


    A sharp piercing wind sound is heard as a silver glowing dagger suddenly shoots out from a distance with incredible speed, aimed directly at Snow Feng''s palm!


    "Courting death!"


    With a cold gaze, Snow Ahmad stepped down, commanding the Earth Split Scorpion, and its claws immediately smashed heavily towards the ground, tearing open a deep yellow earth wall, standing tall in front of Snow Feng.


    "Hehe, let''s not interfere in the disputes among the younger generation, shall we, old folks?"


    With a hearty laugh, a beam of flame suddenly surged forward, heavily crashing on the earth wall. The scorching flames instantly swept out, making the entire wall extremely hot.


    The next moment, with a muffled sound, a cold gleaming dagger accurately hit the spot where the beam landed, piercing directly through the incredibly hard earth wall!


    "Ah!" S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The sneer on his lips freezes, replaced by a grimace of pain as Snow Feng holds his palm, blood dripping, sprinkling on the ground.


    The sudden turn of events left many people stunned, only until they saw Snow Feng''s palm pierced by the dagger, did they take a sharp breath.


    "Second Elder!"


    Blaze Khairul first stunned, then ecstatic, quickly shifting his gaze into the distance.


    On the city wall that Blaze Regret had previously climbed over, a majestic fire lion with its white wings spread out was squatting there. Next to the fire lion stood Blaze Peter, whose hands were folded in front of his chest, coldly looking at the constantly wailing Snow Feng.


    The Fire Wing Lion, a fire attribute, is completely different from the Fire Spirit Lion even though there is only one word of difference between them.


    "Crack!"


    Under the lion''s paw, a sharp rock was pressed down, and with a swipe of the lion''s paw, the rock carried a strong wind as it slanted into the ground.


    "Damn, that scared me."


    Wiping off his cold sweat, Blaze Regret sat down next to the fire wing lion, sighing in relief. If Blaze Peter hadn''t arrived in time, he might have lost his life right there.


    "I should have brought the master Magi with me." Blaze Regret said with regretted in his heart, while the Master Magi was still lying quietly on the wooden table in the room.


    "Blaze Peter!"


    Just as Snow Ahmad was about to shout these words, Blaze Peter slowly interrupted with a commanding tone, "Old thing, at your age, you''re acting like a dog, shameless, even resorting to attacking younger generations. Going by this logic, shouldn''t our family head come and compete with you?"


    Clearly, Snow Ahmad''s actions had also ignited Blaze Peter''s anger.


    "Blaze Peter, don''t be so arrogant!"


    Glancing at the painfully screaming Snow Feng, Snow Ahmad''s mouth twitched, then his face quickly turned cold, He stomped his foot, His body flew out, and the huge Earth Split Scorpion rushed towards Blaze Peter and Blaze Regret.


    "Earth splitting Pierce!"


    With a pause in her movements, the Earth Split Scorpion violently smashed the ground with its pincers, a crack about a foot wide spread visibly at a rapid speed, and finally, the high wall collapsed in the billowing dust.

 Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Snow Ahmad 2

    "Hmph, when it comes to fighting, this old man has never been afraid of anyone. Flame Wing Lion, Flame Wing Force!"Blaze Regret and Blaze Peter both dodged, the Fire Wing Lion standing upright fluttered its white feathers and soared into the air, flames swirling around it, then suddenly closing in to form a defense, protecting its body within.


    *Crack!*


    Among the shattered city bricks, several sharp rock thorns shot out from the end of the crack, piercing fiercely into the white feathers of the Fire Wing Lion.


    The rock thorns were about a yard wide, but when they hit the Fire Wing Lion, they shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, turning into countless broken rocks, scattering apart.


    With one attack unsuccessful, the Earth Split Scorpion quickly crossed its pincers, and several flaming feathers clashed with the scorpion pincers above its head, sparking glaring flames.


    The offensive of both sides was completed in an instant, and many spiritual masters only felt a flash before their eyes. The majestic Fire Wing Lion and the huge Earth Split Scorpion stopped their actions and confronted each other in midair.


    "Hehe, so much time has passed, and you still haven''t improved," Blaze Peter sneered and shook his head.


    "So what? You still can''t do anything to me," Snow Ahmad also coldly chuckled, but he was quite unhappy inside. When Blaze Peter first arrived in Veloria City, he could still overpower him, but now they were evenly matched.


    Putting away the Wood Spirit Fruit, Blaze Qistina ran excitedly to Blaze Peter''s side. She knew that today Snow Ahmad was not going to have a good time.


    After a moment of changing expressions, Snow Ahmad finally managed to utter a word, "Let''s go!"


    At these words, Snow Feng hesitated for a moment, then his expression quickly turned fierce. "Elder, my hand is injured like this, you can''t just let the kid from the Blaze family go, I want to chop off both his hands!"


    "What did you say?"


    A playful voice came from behind. As Snow Feng was about to turn around, a sudden intense pain spread from his palm throughout his body, causing him to scream in agony.


    "Tch!"


    A dagger was pulled out from Snow Feng''s palm, and Blaze Regret carefully wiped it clean, muttering, "What are you screaming for? It''s a good dagger, now it covered with so much blood."


    Seeing the blood spurting through the air, many spirit masters shuddered and cast a more serious gaze towards Blaze Regret. Today, they finally realized what a ruthless person the young master of the Blaze family was.


    "You..."


    Snow Ahmad was about to curse, but the spirit seal forming between Blaze Peter''s fingers made him swallow his words. If the fight continued and he got entangled with Blaze Peter, Snow Feng''s fate would only be more miserable.


    "Let''s go!"


    Grabbing the wailing Snow Feng, Snow Ahmad quickly left on the Earth Split Scorpion under the watchful eyes of the crowd. His trembling body revealed his uncontrollable anger.


    "Fifth rank already?"


    Xiao Yang gazed at Red leaping out from the spirit portal, his pleasantly surprised voice echoing quietly in the not so spacious room.


    Gently licking its fiery red fur, Red let out a soft growl, then hopped onto the table, taking a bite out of a piece of meat larger than its own size, making a joyful chewing sound.


    "I didn''t expect it to be faster than I thought," Blaze Regret remarked.


    Floating about ten feet above the ground, Master Magi drifted like a flickering transparent candle flame, a hint of admiration in his voice.


    The Scorching Flame Cat was a high level novice level spirit beast. Even with advanced elixirs every day, it still required time to digest, but Red had clearly shortened the time considerably.


    "So, what should I do next?" Blaze Regret asked, looking up. Without the matter of Angsana Paviliom Festival, he could have leisurely trained with Red. But now, there was a sense of urgency.


    "Let''s discuss tomorrow''s matters tomorrow. Today''s task is to have a good night''s sleep."


    After a moment of pretending to pondered mysteriously, Master Magi suddenly turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared back into the ancient book, leaving behind a low, mocking laughter.


    With a helpless roll of his eyes, Blaze Regret understood the principle that haste makes waste. So, after eating something simple, he immediately lay down on the bed to rest. Red, after cleaning its little paws, also jumped onto the bed, leaned against Blaze Regret''s back, and closed its eyes.


    The night was cool, moonlight like a gentle veil descending. A breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient tree outside the room, creating an especially tranquil atmosphere. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Inside the room, the oil lamp was almost burnt out. After emitting a wisp of blue smoke, the wick finally completed its mission, extinguishing the last glimmer of light.


    The sound of sleep talking gently echoed, and Red suddenly opened its eyes, seemingly uncomfortable as it twisted its body. After a long while, it finally closed its eyes again.


    However, as it fell back asleep, a fiery red glow suddenly flashed on its forehead, rotating slowly like a small sun. In an instant, it transformed into a cluster of flames and re entered its body, as if it had never appeared.


    "Can you tell me what I should do now? If there''s still nothing to do, I''m tempted to take on a family task."


    Upon waking up, Blaze Regret looked at the leisurely Master Magi with a face full of complaint and finally couldn''t help but voice his grievance.


    "Young man, always so impatient."


    With a slight smile on his face, Master Magi closed the ancient Book. With a flick of his finger, spiritual energy condensed, and a yellowed piece of paper materialized in the air, then shot out with a sharp, breaking sound.


    *Snap!*


    After taking it over, Blaze Regret took a glance and suddenly exclaimed, "A high grade pill, Earth Flame Pill?"

 Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Earth Flame Pill

    If others were to hear this, they would surely show a look of shock. Although high grade pills are rare, a few could still circulate in the entire Veloria city in a month, but the pill recipe is different! Successfully refining a high grade pill can earn one the title of an alchemist.Currently, Blaze Regret, even if he can refine the Azure Spirit Liquid with a decent success rate, for the profession of alchemy, at most, he has just touched the threshold.


    To become a true alchemist, besides having rich alchemical experience, the most important thing is to have a recipe for a high grade pill!


    Arrogant and unmatched Kamal, who has been alchemist for decades, can only refine two types of high grade pills because he lacks access to new pill recipes.


    Looking at the number of pill recipes in Veloria City, it would not exceed five! And now, Master Magi casually gave Blaze Regret a pill recipe that had never appeared in Veloria City before, no wonder the latter was so surprised.


    Turning his eyes, Blaze Regret carefully placed the pill recipe into the Void Realm stone and then looked at Master Magi with a wry smile, "Is there more?"


    "Yes, there is." Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently, how could he not understand his thoughts, "For this kind of trash, the Master Magi can easily produce a pile, and it would be fine to wipe your butt every day."


    At these words, Blaze Regret was at a loss. He considered something precious, but others considered it trash, which was really disheartening.


    "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there are some differences between the Earth Flame Pill and regular pills."


    As if suddenly remembering something, Master Magi''s face revealed a gloating smile, "The materials used for normal pills are medicinal ingredients, but the Earth Flame Pill is different. It can only be refined using some precious spirit herbs."


    "Spirit herbs?" Blaze Regret''s cheeks visibly trembled.


    Not long ago, he had just traded for a snow condensing grass, so he naturally knew the high value of spirit herb. Spirit herbs could be directly consumed by spiritual beasts, and some were even priceless. One spirit herbs could be exchanged for hundreds of equivalent grade medicinal herbs.


    But he never expected that the refining materials for the Earth Flame Pill would be spirit herb!


    "Three stalks of first grade spiritual herb Xuan Yan Grass, four blossoms of Wu Jian Flower, and two sections of Luo Chen Vine..." After reading the entire formula, Blaze Regret felt an urge to cough up blood.


    "This is robbery!" His hand trembled for a long time, and he finally couldn''t help but roar. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    To refine one Earth Flame Pill, it would cost nearly ten thousand gold coins, and success was not guaranteed!


    "If it were easy, alchemists would have long been everywhere. In the future, you will know that advanced prescriptions have all sorts of strange materials. But for now, try to collect spirit herb." Master Magi shrugged, his smile looking particularly irritating.


    In the back mountain, hidden within the forest.


    A golden, luminous cauldron floated in front of Blaze Regret, emitting a faint fragrance. A small golden orb separated from the cauldron, immediately swallowed by the leaping Red.


    "Fifth tier; I wonder when I''ll break through to the sixth tier."


    Glancing at Red, Blaze Regret murmured softly, feeling gratified. "At the sixth rank, the Scorching Flame Cat can comprehend new spirit techniques, and its combat power can also increase significantly."


    However, he also knew that feeding Red such a large quantity of Azure Spirit Liquid would yield minimal results, as it couldn''t fully digest it.


    But with Master Magi''s assistance and the principle that crafting this simple spiritual liquid didn''t consume much mental energy, he still used the Azure Spirit Liquid, something regarded as a rare medicinal liquid by the outside world, as if it were plain water for Red.


    "Whoosh!"


    After discarding a green spiritual core, Red, seeing that it would take some time to craft a new batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, dove back into the forest to hunt those highly aggressive spirit beasts, enhancing its combat experience.


    Meanwhile, Master Magi often wandered through the forest, occasionally collecting well hidden spiritual herbs. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that these were all the spiritual herbs needed to craft the Earth Flame Pill.


    This scene continued for nearly ten days. After consuming all the materials for crafting Azure Spirit Liquid, Blaze Regret opened his tightly shut eyes and said softly, "Can we craft the Earth Flame Pill now?"


    "Purity is acceptable."


    Turning a newly refined golden liquid orb, Master Magi slowly spoke, "Congratulations, you finally have the qualification to refine the Earth Flame Pill."


    After nearly ten days of practice, Blaze Regret''s alchemist skills had clearly improved significantly compared to the beginning.


    "According to the pill formula, the Earth Flame Pill can advance a fire attribute spirit beast below the eighth rank by one rank."


    With a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes, Blaze Regret picked up a stalk of Xuan Yan Grass, its top resembling burning flames, and gently tossed it into the cauldron, "I hope it won''t disappoint me."


    In the secluded depths of the dense forest, a wisp of faint blue smoke spiraled gently into the sky, serene and distant.


    Beneath that wisp of smoke, in a golden and transparent cauldron, a viscous liquid suffused with a medicinal fragrance slowly gathered.


    "Condense!"


    With a change in his hand seals, Blaze Regret watched as the gathered viscous liquid began to swirl around like droplets, gradually forming into a spherical shape.


    As time passed, the viscous liquid quickly solidified. Moments later, it transformed into a white pill, lying quietly in the cauldron, emitting a lingering fragrance.


    "Master Magi, is it considered a success?"


    Ignoring the heat of the pill, Blaze Regret grimaced and used his fingers to carefully pick it up, hurriedly presenting it to Master Magi, who was floating in mid air.


    "It appears to be a qualified pill."

 Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Ghost Face Flower 1

    Gently stroking the white pill, Master Magi smiled. But in the next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice held a trace of astonishment: "Pill Patterns?""Pill Patterns?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, puzzled.


    With a strange glance at Blaze Regret, Master Magi explained, "Even within the same type of pill, there are varying degrees of quality. The lowest grade pills, which are commonly found in markets and auctions, lack Pill Patterns. Pills with Pill Patterns, however, are much more effective than ordinary ones and are far more valuable, potentially even doubling in value."


    "This is the Pill Pattern?" Blaze Regret, gazing at the Earth Flame Pill in Master Magi''s hand, finally noticed a flame colored pattern on one side of the pill. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The flame colored pattern was quite peculiar, resembling actual flames.


    "That''s right," Master Magi nodded. "A regular Earth Flame Pill can ensure that a fire attribute spirit beast below the eighth rank ascends by one rank. However, even an eighth rank spirit beast refining this pill would achieve the same effect."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret took a deep breath, and excitement filled his eyes. The higher the rank of a spirit beast, the harder it is to advance. This meant that he had struck gold this time!


    "In that case, I won''t use it now. I''ll wait until Red reaches the eighth rank." Blaze Regret happily stored the Earth Flame Pill in his void realms stone.


    "Suit yourself."


    Master Magi yawned lazily and then looked at Blaze Regret. "I had planned to teach you alchemist slowly, but your comprehension is much better than I expected. It''s time to give you something."


    Blinking in confusion, Blaze Regret didn''t ask further and directly walked beneath Master Magi, extending his hand.


    "What are you doing?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret with a strange expression.


    "Receiving the gift."


    "If that gift were tangible, it would overflow even if your have void realms stone." Shaking his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, Master Magi extended his index finger and lightly pressed it against Blaze Regret''s forehead. "Don''t move; it might hurt a little."


    Before Master Magi''s words had even faded, Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted as a sharp pain suddenly assaulted his mind, like being pierced by thousands of needles.


    Soon, Blaze Regret''s body was drenched in sweat, and his trembling hands showing the pain he endured.


    "Woof!"


    Seeing this, Red''s body tensed up slightly, and it gazed at Master Magi with hostility.


    "If you don''t want him to be crippled, don''t move." Master Magi glanced indifferently at Red and then fell silent. After a cold snort, Red''s eyes were filled with worry.


    "Huff!"


    After a while, as Master Magi retracted his finger, Blaze Regret exhaled a deep breath of relief. A large amount of information surged through his mind, eventually transforming into an emerald green seed that lay in his mental world.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret asked, his voice filled with astonishment as he sensed the foreign object within him.


    "The Medical Emperor''s Scriptures," Master Magi said softly, with his hands clasped behind his back. "After the fall of the Medical Emperor, he left behind all his life''s experiences, which are now yours."


    "The Medical Emperor''s Scriptures?" Blaze Regret murmured, his voice hoarse with shock.


    According to legend, the Medical Emperor''s Scriptures was the ultimate treasure coveted by all alchemists on the continent. Who would have thought it was just a seed that appeared so ordinary?


    "Indeed, it is that very thing," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "Wait a minute, did you just say that the Medical Emperor has fallen?" Blaze Regret''s voice trembled with disbelief as he grasped the significance of Master Magi''s words.


    "Yes," Master Magi nodded slowly.


    Receiving this confirmation, Blaze Regret''s throat grew even drier. The Medical Emperor was a Spirit Emperor level being, standing at the pinnacle of the hierarchy, looking down on others like ants. It was unimaginable what kind of powerful existence could have caused his fall, and how the Medical Emperor''s Scripture ended up in Master Magi''s possession!


    The history of the Spirit Beast Continent is long and filled with various strange and mysterious legends, such as Spirit Emperors with spiritual power as vast as the ocean, or the Nine Heavens Phoenix that could shatter the sky with a flap of its wings.


    Powerful spirit masters and mysterious spirit beasts with untraceable tracks are often topics of conversation among many cultivators during their leisure time.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s questioning gaze, Master Magi could only shrug helplessly, "I''ve already told you, I''ve forgotten most things. The only thing I know is that this Medical Emperor''s Scripture can enhance an alchemist''s understanding of elixirs and their alchemist skills. If you were to refine the Earth Flame Pill again, perhaps it would only take a quarter of an hour to complete."


    Shaking his head to suppress his doubts, Blaze Regret exhaled lightly. No matter what, the Medical Emperor''s Scripture was nothing but beneficial to him, serving as his trump card for rapid growth!


    This was an unimaginable treasure!


    "This seed will be called the Medical Emperor''s Seed from now on," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    "Woof!"


    At that moment, Red, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. A serious expression filled its eyes as it stared intently at the dense forest to the south.


    "What''s wrong?" Blaze Regret was immediately startled.


    "I have some good news and some bad news for you," Master Magi said leisurely. "A wood attribute spirit beast is lurking nearby. The good news is that it has swallowed a fire attribute spirit beast, and within that beast is a spirit crystal. You should know that spirit crystals cannot be digested."


    Blaze Regret''s heart surged with joy, and he looked at Master Magi with fiery eyes. "And the bad news?"


    "The bad news is that the spirit beast is of mid tier warrior level, around the fifth rank," Master Magi said with a cheerful smile.


    Blaze Regret''s excitement was instantly doused as if cold water had been poured over his head. Just as he was about to ask Master Magi for help, the latter transformed into a white light and quickly disappeared into the void realms Stone, leaving only a teasing laugh echoing through the forest.

 Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Ghost Face Flower 2

    "Don''t overthink it. Unless it''s a matter of life and death, I won''t intervene."Cursing inwardly, Blaze Regret''s feet were quickly engulfed in flames, and Red was also fully prepared, its small claws glowing with scorching fire.


    "Heh heh!"


    A raspy laugh, like that of an old man on his deathbed, suddenly echoed ominously through the dense forest. Before Blaze Regret could react, a sinister, grinning face abruptly appeared in front of him, staring directly at him!


    "Smack!"


    Reflexively, Red was about to pounce when a vine lashed out, striking its body hard and sending it flying more than ten yards away.


    The eerie, close up grinning face made Blaze Regret''s heart race. A term he least wanted to think about bitterly surfaced in his mind.


    "Ghost Face Flower..."


    The Ghost Face Flower, naturally of medium rank at the warrior level, is true to its name with a large ghostly face in the center of its flower petal, surrounded by dozens of writhing tendrils.


    Of course, what makes this spirit beast terrifying is not its appearance, but its behave nature. They take great pleasure in toying with weaker creatures, and once their victims are completely consumed by fear, they devour them.


    This frightening trait causes spirit masters across the continent to avoid them at all costs.


    Red, who had been struck away, endured the pain in his abdomen and charged forward again, his sharp claws sweeping towards the eerie flower petal of the Ghost Face Flower.


    "Heh heh!"


    The Ghost Face Flower glanced sideways at Red, letting out a sharp laugh. The tendrils around its flower petal suddenly turned back, shooting out straight like steel spears.


    The tips of the tendrils gleamed with an extremely sharp luster.


    "Dodge!" Blaze Regret''s expression changed, and he shouted urgently.


    However, Red''s strength was clearly far inferior to the Ghost Face Flower. Even though he reacted immediately, one of the Ghost Face Flower''s tendrils still pierced through his abdomen and nailed him to the ground with a clang.


    "Heh heh!"


    Excited laughter rang out as the Ghost Face Flower''s petal began to spin rapidly. The remaining tendrils suddenly converged, forming a green spiral spike that pierced the air with a shrill sound, hurtling towards the struggling Red.


    "Spirit Portal, open!"


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret hurriedly tried to open the Spirit Portal to recall Red, only to find that the gate was unresponsive.


    "Controlled spirit beasts cannot be recalled," came the sudden voice of Master Magi, which briefly lingered before fading away again.


    "Damn it!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes reddened with rage. He kicked out forcefully, only managing to momentarily jolt the Ghost Face Flower. However, its momentum remained unabated as it continued to charge at Red, intent on killing him on the spot.


    The green spiral spike shrieked through the air, making a mournful sound. Blaze Regret had no doubt that the Ghost Face Flower had the capability to kill Red in an instant.


    "Clang!"


    However, just as the spiral spike was about to strike Red, a fiery barrier suddenly enveloped his small body, repelling the Ghost Face Flower with a loud snap. The tendril that had pierced Red was also severed at that moment.


    "Whoosh!"


    Freed from its control, Red transformed into a streak of red light and was finally recalled into the Spirit Portal by Blaze Regret.


    Without pausing to investigate the origin of the fiery barrier, Blaze Regret turned and swiftly darted in the opposite direction, with intense fire elements spreading through the air.


    "Heh heh!"


    The Ghost Face Flower let out a sinister laugh as it watched the disappearing figure ahead. Its body spun, and the swinging tendrils once again formed a spiral spike that plunged into the ground.


    "Grumble!"


    The ground quickly bulged, and the bulging path chased after Blaze Regret at an alarming speed.


    In the silent jungle, a dark shadow darted quickly, landing on a tree trunk. With a swift push off the branch, it vanished in an instant.


    "Did I shake it off?" Blaze Regret, hidden beneath layers of leaves in the dense forest hundreds of feet away, exhaled in relief with lingering fear.


    Since birth, this was his closest brush with death. Indeed, a spirit beast of the warrior level was formidable!


    "Heh heh!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, before Blaze Regret could fully recover, the excited laughter echoed in his ears again. To his horror, he saw the trunk he was standing on peeling away layer by layer from below. A grotesque bulge pierced through the entire ancient tree, and in a flash, that bizarre laughing face appeared behind him!


    "Damn!"


    Without a moment''s hesitation, Blaze Regret rapidly mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body, transforming into a dark shadow and darting away. The ancient tree exploded into splinters the instant he left, sending shattered wood flying in all directions.


    The flower disk spun rapidly, and seeing Blaze Regret''s terrified expression, the Ghost Face Flower was ecstatic. It loved nothing more than to toy with its prey; the more fearful the prey, the more excited it became!


    "Whoosh!"


    The spinning Ghost Face Flower, resembling a disk, flashed through the dense forest, accompanied by its gleeful laughter.


    Half an hour had passed, and Blaze Regret''s mind was on the verge of collapse. Every time he thought he had found a suitable hiding place, the Ghost Face Flower quickly chased him out, its laughter echoing like a demonic sound in his ears, torturing his nerves relentlessly.


    If it were any ordinary spirit master, they would have given up resisting by now, becoming like a walking corpse under its control. But Blaze Regret was different; his willpower was strong enough to sustain him up to this point, though it was clear he couldn''t hold on much longer.


    Hidden in a narrow crevice above a flowing stream, Blaze Regret stood in a space barely enough for one person, his expression somewhat wooden.


    He knew that no matter how concealed his hiding spot was, it wouldn''t escape the Ghost Face Flower''s pursuit, and his spiritual power was nearly exhausted.


    "Heh heh!"


    Gently parting a leaf, the Ghost Face Flower revealed its flower petal. The ghostly face on it looked as innocent as a child''s, with a radiant smile fixed on Blaze Regret.


    "Mmm!"

 Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal

    A few breaths later, seeing Blaze Regret''s numb expression, the Ghost Face Flower seemed to understand that he had given up resisting. Its laughter changed, and after a joyful shriek, its tendrils extended and wrapped around Blaze Regret, lifting him up. The mouth on the ghostly face suddenly opened wide, emitting a pungent stench.The tendrils slowly moved toward the mouth. Seeing the terror reappear on Blaze Regret''s face made the Ghost Face Flower tremble with excitement. Observing its prey''s despair before feeding was an immensely satisfying experience for it.


    In just a few breaths, which felt like an eternity to Blaze Regret, he glanced at the Ghost Face Flower''s grinning face. Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. With a swift turn of his palm, a green fruit appeared.


    "Gulp!"


    The Ghost Face Flower''s tendrils loosened, and Blaze Regret fell straight into its mouth. As the creature licked its lips contentedly, it seemed to savor the moment.


    However, in the next instant, a surge of powerful energy exploded in front of it!


    "Boom!"


    A deafening noise erupted as a violent gust of wind swept out.


    Under the onslaught of the fierce wind, the tendrils of the Ghost Face Flower snapped one by one, and its flower petal was quickly shredded by the terrifying energy blast!


    The ground within a radius of ten kilometer was stripped away layer by layer by the violent energy, leaving a pitch-black crater that struck awe into those who saw it.


    "Thud! Thud!"


    The flower petal was thrown into the air and then fell back down. The once smiling face was now twisted in fear, with cracks spreading across it, breaking it into pieces. Wisps of white mist seeped out from the cracks, swaying gently in the wind.


    It was fortunate that Blaze Regret had kept the Purple Demon Tree fruit for a long time. If he had thrown the Purple Demon Tree itself, the entire Ghost Face Flower would have instantly turned to dust.


    After struggling a bit more, the Ghost Face Flower finally became completely silent, showing no signs of movement. It was clear that, as the direct bearer of the Purple Demon Tree fruit''s explosion, it had lost all vitality.


    "Cough, cough!"


    After a long while, the flower petal stirred again. Blaze Regret, with his clothes tattered and torn, broke through the flower disk and staggered to his feet. Besides the Ghost Face Flower''s mucus, his body was also stained with quite a bit of blood.


    "Almost got myself killed," Blaze Regret said with a bitter smile, feeling the intense pain all over his body.


    "You do realize that!" Master Magi''s figure floated up, initially intending to scold him, but upon seeing Blaze Regret''s miserable state, he could only let out a cold snort. However, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.


    "When you''re not strong enough, you have to risk your life."


    Releasing Red, Blaze Regret sat down, completely exhausted. His gaze then swept around, and when he saw a distant, radiant hexagonal object that looked like a red diamond, an expression of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.


    "As I expected, a Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal!"


    The hexagonal spirit crystal, as dazzling as a red diamond, lay quietly on the ground, shimmering brilliantly.


    "Whimper!"


    Enduring the pain in its abdomen, Red swiftly darted over, picked up the spirit crystal, and gently tossed it into its mouth.


    "Gulp!"


    As its throat rolled, a faint red glow instantly emanated from Red''s body, and the surrounding temperature gradually began to rise.


    "What kind of spirit skill will it be?" Blaze Regret, ignoring the pain in his body, stared unblinkingly at Red.


    "From the looks of it, it should be an offensive spirit skill," Master Magi also gazed at Red and said slowly.


    The refining process lasted for nearly ten minutes. Only when Red let out a comfortable Cat cry did the emitted firelight finally recede.


    "Whimper!"


    Sensing Blaze Regret''s eager gaze, Red let out a triumphant cry, then slightly raised its neck as a surge of fiery red spirit power quickly gathered.


    Fiery red spirit power condensed, and in an instant, it transformed into a fireball resembling the sun, causing the surrounding air to faintly distort.


    "Whoosh!" S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a flick of its little head, Red sent the fireball blast straight toward an ancient tree. The fireball struck the tree forcefully, penetrating deep inside before exploding with a loud bang, illuminating the surroundings with a dazzling blaze.


    In an instant, wood chips mixed with fiery particles scattered everywhere.


    "Crack~"


    Losing its base support, the ancient tree crashed to the ground, its massive trunk causing the ground to tremble slightly.


    "What incredible destructive power!" Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed. This attack from Red was powerful enough to severely injure even a seventh tier high level novice grade spirit beast!


    "Heh, it turns out this is the Fireball skill of the Purple Flame Cat Spirit. This spirit skill has actually reached the Warrior grade. I really wonder how the Ghostface Flower managed to take down the Purple Flame Cat Spirit," Master Magi chuckled.


    "Spirit skills have different grades?" Blaze Regret asked, slightly puzzled as he stroked the proud Red.


    "Of course. Each spirit beast, at different ranks, can comprehend different spirit skills. For instance, the high level novice grade Scorching Flame Cat comprehends all high level warrior grade skills, while the low level warrior grade Purple Flame Cat Spirit comprehends all low level warrior grade skills," Master Magi explained.


    "The warrior grade spirit skill, huh." Blaze Regret smacked his lips. It seemed he had underestimated the power of the Fireball skill. Not only could it severely injure a seventh tier high level novice grade spirit beast, but it might even be capable of killing it!


    "Woo!"


    Crouched on the ground, Red suddenly let out a stifled Cat cry, then its body trembled as a surging wave of energy burst forth, blowing away the dry branches and fallen leaves on the ground.


    "Leveling up?" Blaze Regret exclaimed in pleasant surprise.


    It had been nearly ten days since the last level up. During this time, Red had been continuously hunting spirit beasts, refining its own spirit power.

 Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Flame Breath

    More importantly, the spirit crystal of the Purple Flame Cat Spirit contained a rich amount of fire attribute energy, which allowed Red to break through its bottleneck and advance to the sixth tier in one go.At the sixth tier, Red could comprehend a new spirit skill!


    "Let me think. A sixth tier Scorching Flame Cat can comprehend two types of spirit skills: one is the Flowing Flame Beam, and the other is the enhancement type skill Flame Breath. However, only one in a hundred Scorching Flame Cat has the chance to comprehend the latter," Master Magi said softly, a contemplative look in his eyes.


    Just as Master Magi finished speaking, Red crouched down, and streams of fiery light began swirling around its body, almost solid in appearance. At that moment, its aura seemed to faintly reach the seventh tier!


    "It''s Flame Breath!" Master Magi''s eyes lit up with joy, his eyebrows raised slightly.


    "An attack boosting skill?" Blaze Regret was momentarily dazed by the consecutive surprises. It was clear that the Flame Breath skill was more suitable for Red at this stage than the Flowing Flame Beam. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Now that Red had a Master grade spirit skill, he couldn''t care less about novice grade skills!


    "Hehe, lucky boy. Flame Breath not only boosts attacks but can also grow over time. You''ll come to realize just how beneficial this spirit skill is in the future," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "Hiss!"


    The pain from his wounds finally pulled Blaze Regret out of his joy. Grimacing, he took a sharp breath and quickly walked to the stream to wash off the bloodstains at his body.


    "Stand still."


    After Blaze Regret cleaned off the bloodstains, Master Magi noticed the still bleeding wounds. With a wave of his hand, a golden pillar of runic light instantly enveloped Blaze Regret.


    The golden runes appeared fragmented, and as Blaze Regret stood within the rotating pillar of light, he watched in amazement as his wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The newly healed skin was smooth and pristine, like that of a newborn.


    "So magical." Blaze Regret marveled, feeling the power coursing through his body. "Even a wood attribute spirit beast of the lord level couldn''t do this."


    Master Magi smiled enigmatically and asked, "Alright, what''s your plan now?"


    Taking out clean clothes from the void realms stone, Blaze Regret quickly changed and scratched his head, chuckling, "It''s a pity to keep the precious herbs from the Medicine Emperor unused. My cultivation speed is fast enough, but I can''t neglect my clansmen either."


    "Be careful not to overdo it and bring trouble upon yourself," Master Magi teased with a smirk.


    "Isn''t that what you''re here for, Master? In the entire Veloria City, there isn''t anyone you would consider worth your attention," Blaze Regret said, looking at Master Magi with a cheeky grin.


    "You little rascal, don''t try to test your master''s strength. But that statement wasn''t bad," Master Magi said with a half smile, half smirk.


    Satisfied with the reassurance, Blaze Regret quickly opened the spirit portal and took Red inside, though his eyes still burned with enthusiasm.


    What he needed to do now was improve the younger generation of the Blaze family to a new level!


    And the method was using Master Magi''s treasured alchemist recipes and the Medicine Emperor''s herbs scriptures in his spiritual world!


    ...


    Veloria city, Atlas Shop.


    The Atlas Shop was divided into four main areas: the Spirit Technique Section, the Spirit Skill Section, the Herbal Section, and the Spiritual Medicine Section. The Alchemist Section was merged with the Spiritual Medicine Section, making them one.


    Apart from these four areas, there was a more hidden section known as the Alchemist Section. However, this area was generally not open to the public and only accessible to alchemists.


    Through Mark, Blaze Regret sold some of the Azure Spirit Liquid from his void realms stone, gaining nearly ten thousand gold coins. Ingredients needed for first grade alchemist recipes were relatively few, and these coins were more than enough for Blaze Regret to splurge.


    He collected piles of herbs into his void realm stone and quickly moved on to the next stall.


    "Young Master Blaze, all the Purple Spirit Leaves have been sold out."


    Beside him, the clerk assigned by Mark to follow Blaze Regret spoke with a tone of apology.


    The Purple Spirit Leaf was the main ingredient for refining the Mu Li Pill.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyebrows slightly furrowed. The Mu Li Pill was something he intended to refine for Blaze Qistina. Usually, the Atlas Shop had an ample supply of such herbs, so he hadn''t expected it to be sold out.


    "Who is the buyer?" Blaze Regret asked casually, not minding paying a high price to purchase some from the buyer.


    "Young Master Blaze Regret, the buyer of the Purple Spirit Leaf is the esteemed alchemist Park lily from the Atlas Shop. Do you really think you can snatch something from him?"


    A mocking voice came through, causing Blaze Regret''s brows to furrow slightly before he turned his gaze.


    The source of the voice was a young woman around twenty years old. Remarkably, she was the same female spiritualist who had appeared when Blaze Regret publicly tested the properties of the Azure Spirit Liquid not long ago!


    "Ken Aina, say no more!"


    Next to the female spiritualist, Karthik''s expression changed instantly, a hint of fear in his voice as he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Blaze, I didn''t know your identity a few days ago and offended you."


    "There''s no need. Compared to the vanity of status, I still believe more in actual strength." Blaze Regret smiled. He had a certain fondness for the straightforward nature of Karthik.


    "Strength? Do you have any? You''re just riding on the title of Young Master of the Blaze family. Without that title, you wouldn''t even be qualified to talk to me. Karthik, why are you afraid of him? Did I say anything wrong?" Ken Aina glanced impatiently at Karthik, who was desperately giving her signals.

 Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Alchemist Park Lily 1

    "Young Master Blaze, my friend here has been wild from her time with the Spirit Hunting Group. Please forgive her." Karthik sighed and said with a bitter smile.Spirit Hunting Group?


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret had a moment of realization. The Spirit Hunting Group was an organization specialized in hunting spirit beasts, mainly dealing in spirit cores and capturing spirit beasts. He had interacted quite a bit with the hunters from these groups who dealt with his family.


    These people were usually wild and unruly, believing in nothing but absolute strength. Even if they angered members of prominent families, they could easily hide in the mountains and continue their livelihood elsewhere.


    "You scions of these prominent families have no other skills than bullying the weak," Ken Aina scoffed disdainfully.


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh and touch the tip of his nose, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed that Ken Aina had quite a prejudice against the children of influential families.


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret turned to the attendant beside him, "Where is Park Lily?"


    A flicker of astonishment crossed Ken Aina''s eyes before she quickly sneered, "Karthik, I''ve always said that these family scions are good for nothing but pretending to be tough. Look at him, getting all riled up just because of a few words from me."


    "Master Park Lily is in the Alchemist District. Only alchemists are allowed to enter there," the attendant pointed to a part of the Alchemist District, smiling wryly. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Thank you," Blaze Regret nodded and began walking towards the district.


    "Is he really going there?" Seeing this, Ken Aina was visibly taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Karthik, how about a bet? I bet that within twenty breaths, he''ll be thrown out."


    "Young Master Blaze, you mustn''t!" The attendant was startled and quickly followed him.


    A first rank alchemist wouldn''t care about Blaze Regret''s status as the Young Master of the Blaze family. Even the heads of the four major families would have to treat them with utmost respect.


    "It''s alright."


    Under the anxious gaze of the attendant, Blaze Regret pushed open the tightly closed wooden door and disappeared from everyone''s view.


    "Overestimating oneself," Ken Aina crossed her arms and watching the creaking wooden door closing. His eyes gleamed with a mix of delight in others'' misfortune.


    Creak~


    As Blaze Regret entered the Alchemist District, his vision was immediately filled with a thick white mist. The rich scent of herbs wafted through the air, lifting his spirits.


    It was evident that an alchemist had been refining pills in this area for many years, which caused the lingering fragrance of medicinal pills.


    In the depths of the white mist, an old man was frowning deeply as he stared intently at the pill cauldron in front of him. His right hand was tightly clenched, holding a misshapen pill that was clearly a defective product.


    "Who are you, and who allowed you to come in here?"


    As soon as Blaze Regret entered, a young man beside the old alchemist stepped forward, angrily pointing at Blaze Regret. "Get out! Do you know where you are? This is not a place you can enter!"


    The young man''s angry voice echoed, but the old man seemed oblivious, his cloudy old eyes still fixed unblinkingly on the pill cauldron.


    "Empty Soul Pill?"


    In Blaze Regret''s mind, a recipe for a pill suddenly emerged. It was the formula and process for refining the first grade Empty Soul Pill, causing his thoughts to become exceptionally clear in an instant.


    Yesterday, Master Magi had tossed a pile of pill recipes to Blaze Regret as if discarding trash. Among them was the recipe for the Empty Soul Pill.


    With a faint smile in his heart, Blaze Regret immediately understood the old man''s problem. With the help of the Medicine Emperor''s seed, he could effortlessly grasp the making of first grade pills.


    "Get out of here, now!" The young man walked up to Blaze Regret, pointing at his nose and cursing.


    Creak!


    In response, Blaze Regret didn''t show any restraint. He raised his hand, grabbed the young man''s finger, and gave it a slight twist.


    "Ah!"


    The young man screamed in pain, his face contorted as he shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am Master Park Lily''s pill apprentice. Offend me, and there will be no place for you in the entire Veloria City. Your family will also be implicated!"


    Raising an eyebrow, Blaze Regret looked up with a faint smile and said softly, "Really? Let me tell you a story. My father is Blaze Ash. I''d love to see how you plan to implicate me."


    Hearing this, the young man instantly fell silent. Although alchemists held a noble status, Blaze Ash''s power was well known. Even Park Lily wouldn''t dare say such a thing, let alone an ordinary pill apprentice.


    "Kamil, come back."


    Park Lily finally lifted his eyelids, somewhat displeased, and said, "Leave a way out for people, didn''t Blaze Ash teach you that?"


    "Hehe, my father didn''t teach me that. He only told me to eradicate the roots when cutting the weeds and not to show mercy to enemies I can eliminate," Blaze Regret spread his hands and smiled.


    Initially, he had planned to speak politely with Park Lily, but now it seemed completely unnecessary. The arrogance of alchemists made Park Lily maintain a constant sense of superiority, as if his apprentice had every right to curse at Blaze Regret.


    "Don''t you know that only alchemists are allowed in here?" Park Lily''s face instantly darkened.


    "Yes, I know. The Azure Spirit Liquid from a while back was sold by me," Blaze Regret pulled over a chair and sat down boldly, staring at Park Lily.


    "Hehe, I heard the Blaze family recruited an alchemist. No wonder you have the confidence to disrespect me. So, your future supply of spirit liquid is guaranteed, huh?"


    Blaze Regret merely smiled noncommittally. Respect is mutual, but it seemed Park Lily had misunderstood some things.


    Gently pushing aside the pill furnace in front of him, Park Lily''s face showed a proud expression. "I saw that Azure Spirit Liquid. It was made by a half baked alchemist. His skills are not yet enough to be considered qualified."

 Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Alchemist Park Lily 2

    Blaze Regret nodded. Though Park Lily was full of superiority, his judgment was accurate. When Blaze Regret made the first batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, he indeed was not yet qualified to be called a competent first grade alchemist."So, today I won''t be making any pills for you. Moreover, if the Blaze family wants to ask me to make pills in the future, the price will be doubled," Park Lily waved his hand. "Kamil, see the guest out."


    "Please," the young man sneered, making a gesture of seeing the guest out, his face full of mockery.


    "Master Park Lily, it seems you''ve misunderstood something. I''m not here to ask you to refine any pills." Ignoring the sneering young man, Blaze Regret said with a wry smile.


    "Then what do you want?" Park Lily''s eyes turned cold, his voice dripping with undisguised contempt.


    He had lost all patience with Blaze Regret.


    "Just leave already." The young man, seeing this, moved to push the door open and force Blaze Regret out, his actions rather rough.


    "Your hand is healed?" Blaze Regret''s playful gaze instantly made the young man''s face turn livid.


    "I can leave on my own." Blaze Regret stood up, gently dusting off the white medicinal powder from his clothes. He then turned around, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.


    "The Hundred Withered Grass should only use the upper part; the lower part has too many impurities and will ruin the pill''s potency. Also, the flame control is incorrect. While refining the Empty Soul Pill, the flame temperature needs to change three times, or the pill won''t take shape."


    Hearing this, Park Lily was stunned and then showed an expression of disbelief: "Do you have the formula for the Empty Soul Pill?"


    Blaze Regret said nothing, his hand lightly resting on the wooden door.


    "Young friend, wait!"


    In the dazed eyes of the young man, Park Lily quickly stood up and hurried to Blaze Regret''s side, grabbing his arm and speaking urgently, "Has the Blaze family''s alchemist also refined the Empty Soul Pill?"


    Blaze Regret smiled and shook his head, "He hasn''t, but I can."


    "Nonsense..."


    The young man had just started to speak when Park Lily angrily shouted, "Shut up!"


    The young man choked on his words, his face turning crimson as if he had swallowed a dead rat.


    "Young friend, can you really do it?" Park Lily looked at Blaze Regret with urgency. The process of refining the Empty Soul Pill was extremely complex. Even with the formula, mastering the method wasn''t guaranteed. He was a testament to that.


    Yet, he still found it hard to believe, given Blaze Regret''s young age. He had never heard of such a young alchemist before.


    With a light chuckle, Blaze Regret walked to the place where Park Lily refined his pills and sat down. Park Lily quickly moved the cauldron over, standing by with a look of expectation and nervousness, like a child eager to learn.


    Outside the wooden door.


    Ken Aina heard the "Get out!" from inside and couldn''t help but purse her rosy lips. That guy really thought his status was that useful. In front of an alchemist, that so called status was utterly worthless.


    "How about that? I told you he''d definitely be thrown out," Ken Aina said playfully to Karthik.


    Karthik forced a bitter smile, feeling extremely uneasy. If Blaze Regret really got thrown out and became furious, their spirit hunting group would certainly have a tough time ahead.


    Inside, a few more angry shouts were heard. Ken Aina laughed so hard she shook with hilarious, the disdain in her eyes becoming even more evident.


    "Even Master Park Lily is scolding him. It seems Blaze Regret is not only arrogant but also very foolish."


    A moment later, the interior fell silent again. Ken Aina, puzzled, said, "He couldn''t have been beaten to death, could he? Why is it so quiet?" sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Creak!


    Suddenly, the wooden door opened, and Ken Aina''s spirits lifted as her eyes gleamed, eager to see Blaze Regret''s disgrace.


    "Old me is ashamed. Despite decades of immersion in the path of alchemiat, I am not as enlightened as this young friend."


    Blaze Regret walked out slowly, with Park Lily standing respectfully beside him, his gaze full of admiration.


    "What''s going on?"


    Not only was Ken Aina dumbfounded, but Karthik and the anxious attendant were also slightly agape.


    "Master Park, you are too kind. I humbly accept these Purple Spirit Leaves," Blaze Regret smiled, returning the courtesy.


    "I must be seeing things," Ken Aina''s face turned pale, completely devoid of her earlier mocking demeanor.


    That was Park Lily, an authentic alchemist, showing such respect to Blaze Regret!


    "In the future, should the Blaze family need any assistance, I will offer my full support," Park Lily said with a bitter smile. "With you around, young friend, I doubt there will be much need for my help."


    "You are too kind, Master Park."


    After bidding farewell to Park Lily, Blaze Regret approached the attendant. With a flick of his finger, a bottle of Azure Spirit Liquid appeared. He smiled and said, "A token of appreciation for your hard work."


    "Young Master Blaze, you have hidden your talents well. I misjudged you. My name is John Hughes. If you need anything in the future, just use the Sound Transmitting Shell to inform me, and I will have it delivered to your residence," John Hughes said quickly, joy rising in his heart as he received the Azure Spirit Liquid.


    Working as an attendant at the Atlas Shop, he earned only a few dozen gold coins a month, so this rare medicinal liquid was extremely valuable to him.


    Ignoring Ken Aina''s complicated expression, Blaze Regret greeted Karthik and then left the Atlas Shop. At this moment, his Void Realms stone was filled with enough medicinal herbs to refine dozens of first grade pills.


    Only Blaze Regret, with Master Magi''s simulated alchemist cauldron, dared to be so audacious. Ordinary alchemists would find it challenging to refine even one pill per day, let alone produce so many at once.

 Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Record of Mystical Beasts 1

    Returning to his room after a simple dinner, Blaze Regret closed the doors and windows. Not feeling entirely secure, he had Master Magi add a restriction in the courtyard, ensuring he would detect anyone approaching.The process of alchemist required utmost concentration. Even Park Lily used sound blocking devices to prevent external disturbances while refining pills.


    "Whoosh!"


    Releasing Red to sleep on the bed, Blaze Regret took out the simulated alchemist cauldron. He deeply engraved the recipe for a first grade pill in his mind. With a flick of his wrist, crimson flames began to rise.


    After obtaining the Medicine Emperor Seed, refining pills had become second nature to Blaze Regret. In just a quarter of an hour, he casually tossed a perfectly round pill onto the table.


    This scene repeated itself for several days.


    Despite the assistance of the simulated alchemist cauldron, Blaze Regret had to pause numerous times due to mental exhaustion, which was hard to dispel. Nonetheless, compared to ordinary alchemists, his speed was still astonishing.


    Even more gratifying was the significant reduction in the likelihood of producing defective pills.


    No matter how skilled an alchemist might be, none could claim a 100% success rate in pill refinement; failures were inevitable, with varying probabilities. In this regard, Blaze Regret had already surpassed any alchemist of the same level.


    "Damn, I''m exhausted!"


    With a wave of his hand, dozens of pill boxes appeared. Blaze Regret placed the pills inside one by one, then flopped onto the bed, spreading his arms wide.


    "Master Magi, are you sure this will work?"


    Early the next morning, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on his bed, staring doubtful at the floating Thunder Eagle in front of him.


    "When I make a move, how could there possibly be any problems?"


    Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret with irritation and flicked his sleeve. The medicine boxes from Blaze Regret''s void realms stone flew out and merged one by one into the Thunder Eagle.


    Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that although the Thunder Eagle possessed the strength of a warrior level beast, it was entirely composed of spiritual power and had no signs of life.


    After breaking through from warrior level, a spiritual beast reaches the commandor level, like Snow Ahmad''s Earth Split Scorpion or Blaze Peter''s Fire Wing Lion.


    "My name is Mat kilau. I enjoy traveling the continent. Meeting you is fate, so I''ll give you this pill."


    Just as Master Magi retrieved a pill box from within the Thunder Eagle, his laughter followed, causing the corners of Blaze Regret''s mouth to twitch involuntarily.


    "How foolish..."


    "Then think of something better. Or maybe just say you made the pill yourself and see if it brings you trouble!" Master Magi turned away in exasperation.


    "Don''t, I was just joking." Blaze Regret scratched his head and laughed dryly, "Let''s do it your way."


    Hearing Blaze Regret concede, Master Magi let out a cold snort, flicked his fingers, and the Thunder Eagle emitted a sharp cry, crashing through the window and flying out.


    "You did that on purpose!"


    Feeling the sudden rush of cold wind, Blaze Regret angrily let out a low growl that echoed through the room.


    Blaze Family''s backyard, outskirts.


    "Captain, we caught a Flame Monkey. Hehe, we hit the jackpot! We can sell it for a few hundred gold coins."


    Blaze Fuad, with an excited expression, held onto a rope. Within the rope, a Flame Monkey with flames swirling in its palm continuously burned the rope, its eyes fierce.


    "I''ll treat you tonight," Blaze Adam said with a light laugh.


    "Of course, the restaurants in the city, you can choose any." Blaze Adam patted his chest, extremely generous.


    "Wait, what''s that?"


    Suddenly, Blaze Adam''s heart moved as he looked at a rapidly approaching black shadow in the distance, his eyes gradually becoming serious.


    "Crack!"


    In an instant, the Thunder Eagle circled above their heads. Then, to the astonishment and nervousness of Blaze Adam and the others, it flapped its wings and dropped eight securely packaged pill boxes.


    "My name is Mat Kilau. I enjoy traveling the continent. Meeting you is fate, so I''ll give you these pills."


    Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Blaze Fuad gently opened the pill box that had landed in his palm and exclaimed, "This...is it the Wind Binding Pill?"


    "What?"


    And the cause of this change is the pill refined by Blaze Regret!


    Blaze Regret''s face was filled with black lines. Just as he was about to retort, his gaze suddenly froze as a signal came from the prohibition outside the door.


    "It''s that little girl from your Blaze family. I''ll leave first."


    Master Magi yawned, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the void realms stone around Blaze Regret''s waist. The light curtain in the air instantly shattered into golden dots and dissipated.


    "Cousin, look at this!"


    With a bang, the door to the room was pushed open, and Blaze Qistina, with an excited expression on her face, jumped directly in front of Blaze Regret. In the palm of her hand was a pale blue pill, emitting the unique fragrance of herbs.


    "It seems like I have one too."


    Blaze Regret smiled and casually touched the Void Realms stone. The Earth Flame Pill he refined a few days ago appeared in his hand.


    "It''s really hard to imagine that pie can fall from the sky. But this person is too generous. From the sound of it, it seems like everyone he meets is given a pill."


    "Not everyone, just those below the Spirit novice level."


    Just as Blaze Regret spoke, he regretted it. He was practically telling Blaze Qistina that he had a connection with that alchemist!


    "How did you know?"


    Sure enough, Blaze Qistina stared at Blaze Regret with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering.


    "I guessed." Blaze Regret lied without blushing.


    "Hehe, I''ll go refine it first. After using it with the Green Vine, I should be able to break through to the Fifth Rank."


    Fortunately, Blaze Qistina didn''t suspect anything. After nodding, she excitedly left Blaze Regret''s room. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ugh!"


    Watching Blaze Qistina''s figure, Red on the bed, with his chin resting on the edge of the bed, had an inexplicable gleam in his bright eyes.


    "What''s wrong?" Blaze Regret turned his head.

 Chapter 44: Chapter 44 Record of Mystical Beasts 2

    "Hehe, did you also feel it?" Master Magi suddenly floated out, his eyes flickering as he looked at Red."What are you guys talking about?" Blaze Regret was completely confused, watching the two spiritual beasts seemingly communicating.


    "There''s a beastly aura on that little girl''s body." After a moment of contemplation, Master Magi slowly said.


    "A beastly aura?"


    "Have you ever heard of the Record of Mystical Beasts?" Instead of answering, Master Magi threw another question.


    "I haven''t heard of it." Blaze Regret scratched his head awkwardly.


    "The so called mystical beasts are actually not much different from spiritual beasts, but they possess a superior characteristic that ordinary spiritual beasts don''t have." Master Magi continued, "Spiritual beasts are divided into sixteen elemental attributes, but mystical beasts don''t belong to any specific attribute. Instead, they possess all attributes."


    "Wait a minute!" Blaze Regret''s head was spinning from the explanations. "Can you simplify it?"


    After pondering for a moment, Master Magi said helplessly, "In simpler terms, mystical beasts can ignore attribute restraints. For example, a wood attribute spiritual beast would receive the same amount of damage from both fire and lightning attributes. But mystical beasts can overcome all attribute restraints."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret took a sharp breath. "Isn''t that unfair?"


    Attribute restraints are an unchangeable law among spiritual beasts. For example, a fire attribute spiritual beast can easily overpower a wood attribute spiritual beast of the same level.


    And yet, mystical beasts completely disregard this law!


    "From this perspective, mystical beasts are indeed heaven''s favorites. However, their numbers are extremely scarce. There are only thirty six of them in the entire continent."


    "Are you referring to those thirty six listed in the Record of Mystical Beasts?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi with a flickering gaze. "You''re so powerful, you must know their whereabouts, right?"


    "Impossible! Mystical beasts are like elusive mythical creatures. In all the years that the Spiritual Beast Continent has existed, there have been only a handful of sightings. Whether there are truly thirty six of them or not, it''s all just legend!" Master Magi said helplessly.


    "However, I never expected that even in the small Angtanar Empire, there would be a mystical beast present. That little girl has picked up some of its aura." Master Magi''s gaze finally became serious.


    "Mm!" Red nodded in agreement from the bed. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Without waiting for Blaze Regret to ask, Master Magi continued, "The mystical beast ranked twenty first in the Record of Mystical Beasts is called Water Moon. It has the water attribute, but its strength is not considered to be very high."


    "Forget about it. Talking about this is pointless. Focus on improving your own strength. You may never encounter a mystical beast in your lifetime."


    Seeing the perplexed expression on Blaze Regret''s face, Master Magi waved his hand, clearly not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer. Seeing this, Blaze Regret could only pout in frustration.


    "Mystical beasts, huh?"


    With a look of longing, Blaze Regret patted Red''s head. "It looks like we need to accelerate our cultivation speed. Whether we can encounter one or not, who can say for sure."


    In the blink of an eye, the monthly distribution of spiritual liquid was approaching again. However, this time, many members of the Blaze family no longer held much anticipation in their hearts.


    Compared to elixirs, even the best medicinal liquid had to take a back seat! Moreover, many spiritual novice had directly broken through to spiritual warriors with the help of the elixirs! When the spirit beasts broke through, they naturally followed suit, and the first grade spiritual liquid, the Spirit Condensing Liquid, was no longer of any use to them.


    "Hmph, this time, let''s see what you all can do. Just some ants from small families, aren''t they all at my mercy to play with!"


    On the square, Kartis Man twisted the empty Void Realms stone in his hand, his gaze insidious. In his empty boundary stone, all the Spirit Condensing Liquid had been halved.


    "My Thunder Mink has reached the ninth rank. If anyone dares to make a move this time, I''ll just cripple them. In that case, even Blaze Ash won''t have anything to say about it."


    Thinking of this, Kartis Man''s mood became extremely joyful. Naturally, all the missing Spirit Condensing Liquid had been used by him. In just one month, his life bound spirit beast, the Thunder Mink, had risen to the ninth rank.


    Using others'' resources to enhance his own spirit beast felt truly satisfying!


    At this moment, some members of the Blaze family began to arrive one after another. However, their eyes lacked the usual excitement and enthusiasm.


    "This time, I will still be the one to distribute the spiritual liquid."


    Kartis Man cleared his throat and waved his hand, causing the Void realms stone to rotate. Bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid, only containing half the usual amount, floated in the air.


    "Why is there only half?" Blaze Qistina''s eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    "He''s just come up with another new trick," Blaze Regret said lazily, with his hands behind his head.


    The other members of the Blaze family simply looked at Bai Li indifferently. They already knew what kind of person he was.


    "Why are there so few people? Do they not want it anymore?"


    Seeing the crowd below, which was half the size it used to be, Kartis Man''s voice turned cold and displeased. "If you don''t come soon, don''t say I withheld the liquid."


    "They can''t come," Blaze Kamil shrugged helplessly. "Our captain''s spirit beast has broken through to the Warrior level, and several others have too."


    "Impossible!" Kartis Man was stunned. "What about the remaining people?"


    "They broke through too," Blaze Qistina said cheerfully, finally feeling a sense of retribution.


    "Impossible!" Kartis Man sneered. "With the Blaze family''s training conditions, it''s already impressive if one spiritual novice advances in a month. Who are you trying to fool?"


    Seeing no one respond, Kartis Man instantly became smug. "I knew I was right. Next time you lie, make sure to prepare your script well, or you''ll easily become a joke."


    "What an annoying guy," Blaze Regret said softly, looking up at Kartis Man from below the platform. "Whether you believe it or not, our Blaze family''s belongings are not something you can take at will. If you stretch your hand where it doesn''t belong, be careful it doesn''t get chopped off."

 Chapter 45: Chapter 45 The Treasure Pavilion 1

    Kartis Man''s face changed slightly, and his voice grew cold. "Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"Blaze Regret lightly tapped the void realms stone hidden under his clothes, a faint smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes flashed with a fierce light. If it came down to a fight, with his seventh tier Red and Master level spirit techniques, the outcome would be uncertain.


    Kartis Man''s provocation had already made Blaze Regret decide to use the Earth Flame Pill ahead of schedule. Although this would significantly reduce the pill''s effectiveness, the thought of Kartis Man''s annoying face constantly in front of him was even more unbearable.


    Just as Blaze Regret clenched the Earth Flame Pill in his hand, a cold voice, filled with a chilling edge, echoed in the air.


    "His courage comes from me."


    A fierce cold wind swept past as a massive black shadow descended from the sky, landing firmly on the ground. The imposing Black Wind Leopard stared menacingly at Kartis Man.


    "Blaze Tot?" Blaze Regret''s heart stirred, and he smiled. It seemed like he wouldn''t need to take action today.


    "Warrior level?" Kartis Man''s eyelids twitched slightly, but he remained indifferent. "So, the Blaze family''s latest promoted spirit master is you. But I heard someone say that the Blaze family recently had quite a few new spirit warrior."


    "Yes, indeed, there are quite a few new spirit warrior," Blaze Tot raised his hand and lightly pointed.


    In the distance, a dozen figures flickered and quickly moved to the scene. Each person''s aura was unmistakably that of a genuine spirit warrior master!


    Seeing the sudden appearance of these dozens of people, Kartis Man''s pupils contracted, and his heart was in turmoil.


    These people were clearly only spirit novice a month ago; some were even inferior to him. How could they have broken through so quickly?


    "Now you believe it?" Blaze Azmir shrugged helplessly. "The world is vast, and there are many things you don''t believe in. Don''t use your limited perspective to judge everything."


    Kartis Man''s mouth opened slightly, but he couldn''t find a single word to refute.


    How could a small family promote so many spirit warrior masters in just one month?


    "What are with these medicinal liquids?" Blaze Tot glanced at the spiritual condensation liquid floating around the Void realms stone, his brows furrowing slightly.


    "He used them secretly," Blaze Regret yawned, speaking indifferently.


    "Hand them over."


    The Black Wind Leopard moved slowly, and Blaze Tot extended his hand. His cold voice made Kartis Man''s face turn ashen.


    Reluctantly retrieving the half bottle of spiritual condensation liquid in front of him, Kartis Man once again took out a pile of spiritual condensation liquid, but this time, all the bottles were completely full.


    "No matter what method you use, if there''s even a drop less the next time you distribute the spiritual liquid, I''ll break your legs."


    Blaze Tot glanced coldly at Kartis Man, then waved his hand, distributing the spiritual condensation liquid to everyone present.


    "Well, you''d better have the guts to do that."


    Thinking of the Kartis family backing him, Kartis Man regained his confidence and retorted, "Could it be that the Blaze family takes pride in bullying the weak, using the strength of spirit warrior masters to oppress spirit novice? Do you think that''s honorable?"


    "What did you say?"


    Just as Blaze Tot was about to lose his temper, a slender hand suddenly rested gently on his shoulder.


    "To deal with you, a spirit warrior master isn''t even needed."


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s refined face, half of Blaze Tot''s anger dissipated instantly.


    He knew very well that this guy''s true strength, even after his Black Wind Leopard''s breakthrough, was only low level Warrior, while Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat, once it broke through, would at least be mid level Warrior!


    "Just you?" Kartis Man was taken aback, then sneered disdainfully, "Your low level novice Scorching Flame Cat can''t even count as a threat. My Thunder Mink could tear it apart with one claw, so don''t embarrass yourself by coming over."


    "How about a bet?" Blaze Regret raised his eyelids slightly and smiled.


    "What are we betting?" Kartis Man snorted coldly.


    "In half a month, the Blaze family treasure vault will open. At that time, all spirit novice can go in and choose an item, and you can fight freely inside."


    "So, even if I cripple you, Blaze Ash can''t do anything about it?" Excitement flashed in Kartis Man''s eyes, and he looked at Blaze Regret as if he were a dead man.


    "The elders of the clan will grant you the qualification to enter. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. But if I win, your Void realms Stone will be mine," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    "Deal," Kartis Man laughed as he left. "Enjoy your remaining time as a normal person for the next half month."


    Watching Kartis Man''s retreating figure, Xiao Yang smiled faintly, a sharpness evident in his expression.


    "I really feel like beating you up right now."


    "Flame Claw!"


    Along a secluded path, a cold shout suddenly rang out. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the shout echoed, a petite, fiery figure shot out, with flames swirling around its claws, and directly tore towards a seventh rank Wind Wolf.


    "Howl!"


    The Wind Wolf let out a painful howl, its eyes flashing with ferocity. Just as it was about to retaliate, a fireball containing terrifying energy suddenly exploded from within its body, instantly obliterating it into pieces.


    Blaze Regret nonchalantly took the wind attribute spirit core from Red and tossed it into the Void realm stone.


    In recent days, he hadn''t wandered around the back mountain but had instead taken on some simple family tasks like the other clan members and started going out training.


    "Didn''t expect escort missions to be so troublesome."


    With a bitter smile, Blaze Regret quickly caught up with the caravan ahead. Besides the three slowly moving carriages, there were dozens of Blaze clan members surrounding them, but their strength was at least that of a spirit warrior.

 Chapter 46: Chapter 46 The Treasure Pavilion 2

    "First time out, isn''t it?"Blaze Tot''s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he watched Blaze Regret efficiently deal with the seventh rank Wind Wolf. He then smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. The road ahead will get increasingly difficult, and it''s possible we''ll encounter swarms of spirit beasts at the Imperial level."


    Wiping the blood off Red, Blaze Regret reluctantly accepted this reality. Despite calling it training, with his strength, he was essentially just tagging along. The real heavy lifting was done by the spirit warriors.


    Still, even so, the benefits Blaze Regret gained from this process were considerable. After all, seventh and eighth rank spirit beasts were hard to find in the back mountain, but on this road, they were everywhere.


    Over the next half month, Blaze Regret continuously took on family tasks. Red''s spiritual power became increasingly refined, even showing signs of breaking through to the seventh rank.


    "Tomorrow is the day the Treasure Pavilion opens."


    Lying on his bed, bathed in cool moonlight like a layer of silver gauze, Blaze Regret''s half closed eyes glimmered with a faint chill. "Whatever your purpose for coming to the Blaze family, this is not a place where you can run amok."


    The next morning, at the Blaze family plaza.


    "Haha, finally, today has come. I wonder how far I''ll get this time. They say the highest level has offensive spirit techniques."


    Laughing heartily, Blaze Kamil looked up at the towering pavilion in the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation.


    "Even if there are offensive spirit techniques, they aren''t something we can easily enjoy. Never mind the difficulty of obtaining them, just the spiritual power consumed when using them is enough to exhaust us."


    Beside him, a young girl mercilessly pointed out.


    "Offensive spirit techniques, huh?"


    Muttering to himself, Blaze Regret felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Offensive spirit techniques were the rarest among all types of spirit techniques, and their value was comparable to that of a low grade Imperial level spirit crystal.


    "Who would have thought that such a small and simple family would have offensive spirit techniques? How rare, how rare."


    At that moment, a mocking voice came through. Kartis Man walked out slowly, a superior expression on his face.


    Although offensive spirit techniques were rare, they were not considered scarce in the Kartis family.


    Seeing him, the younger generation of the Blaze family frowned, their faces showing undisguised disgust.


    "You''re talking as if you have one," Blaze Qistina angrily retorted, feeling indignant at being belittled.


    "I don''t have one yet, but soon enough, I will," Kartis Man smiled challengingly at Blaze Regret. "Remember what I said half a month ago. If you lose, you have to shout at the intersection of the four major families in the city that Blaze Ash is a lapdog of the Kartis family. How about it?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret clenched his fist, his usually calm face gradually contorted with a fierce expression.


    "Kartis Man, you''re courting death!"


    "Talking tough is just the behavior of the weak."


    From a distance, Kartis Kai, with his hands behind his back, approached with a smile. "With your strength, you don''t even qualify to threaten Kartis Man."


    "Elder Kartis, you sure talk a lot." Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The door of the Treasure Pavilion creaked open, and Blaze Ash''s figure appeared before everyone.


    Seeing the sudden appearance, Kartis Kai''s old eyes slightly narrowed.


    "Are you confident?" Blaze Ash''s calm gaze turned to Blaze Regret.


    "At least eighty percent." Blaze Regret grinned.


    "You''re just putting on a show," Kartis Man sneered. He was fully confident that he could cripple Blaze Regret.


    Seeing this, Kartis Kai laughed sinisterly. "It seems the Blaze family is going to lose some face this time. Kartis Man, go easy on him. Don''t make the Blaze family head look too bad."


    "I will." Kartis Man smiled broadly at Blaze, his eyes gleaming with impatience.


    With a cold glance at Kartis Kai, Blaze Ash waved his sleeve, and dozens of red beams of light fell into the hands of the crowd, transforming into ancient red tokens.


    "These tokens will protect you from the mechanisms within the Treasure Pavilion."


    After explaining the function of the tokens, Blaze Ash continued to describe the rules of the Treasure Pavilion: "The Treasure Pavilion has nine levels, each with different restrictions. The higher your spiritual power concentration, the greater your chances of overcoming these restrictions. The higher you go, the more precious the items you''ll find."


    "Now, enter."


    As Blaze Ash''s words fell, the figures below stirred restlessly and quickly surged towards the Treasure Pavilion.


    Upon entering the pavilion, nearly forty different staircases came into Blaze Regret''s view. After a moment of consideration, he placed his foot at the base of one of them.


    "The higher you go, the greater the encounters, huh? I didn''t expect such a small family to have this kind of setup. Enough talk, I''ll be waiting for you at the top. I hope you have the strength to make it there."


    With a loud laugh, Kartis Man swiftly ascended, faint traces of lightning lingering in the air.


    Retracting his indifferent gaze, Blaze Regret began to climb. A faint but intense pressure immediately enveloped him.


    "This is meant for first level spirit novice, but it''s useless against me."


    Without using any spiritual power, Blaze Regret walked up the stairs leisurely. The first seven levels posed no obstacle to him at all.


    By this time, many clan members had already stopped, picking suitable items. When some failed to reach the eighth level, they could only smile wryly and linger on the seventh level.


    "Has no one reached the eighth level?"


    Pulling aside Blaze Qistina, who was holding a grass type spiritual herb, Blaze Regret asked with some doubt.


    "It seems only Blaze Kamil and Blaze Aniqi have made it to the eighth level." Blaze Qistina''s face was filled with joy; it was clear that the spiritual herb was very beneficial for her Green Vine technique.


    "I see."


    Blaze Regret nodded with a mix of amusement and helplessness. It seemed like the Blaze family was experiencing a bit of a gap in their ranks this time.

 Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Blaze Regret Vs Kartis Man 1

    What he didn''t realize was that he was the primary cause. The elixirs he provided had promoted all the ninth level spirit Novice directly to spirit warriors, while those at the eighth level were waiting to use the elixirs to make a breakthrough to spirit warriors after reaching the ninth level."What are you going to choose?" Blaze Qistina blinked her bright eyes. To her, Blaze Regret reaching this point with his sixth level spirit disciple strength was already his limit.


    "Let''s go up and take a look."


    Amidst the astonished gazes of the clan members, Red erupted from beneath Blaze Regret''s feet. With the sound of breaking wind, he swiftly shot up to the eighth level.


    "Did I... did I see that right?"


    Exchanging glances, they all noticed the shock in each other''s eyes. Is he really just a sixth level spirit Novice?


    Even an eighth level spirit disciple isn''t this formidable!


    Eighth floor of the Treasure Pavilion.


    Stabilizing his body, Blaze Regret glanced around and spotted Blaze Kamil and Blaze Aniqi selecting items.


    "Blaze Regret?" Seeing the sudden appearance, Blaze Aniqi was startled, "Aren''t you a sixth tier spirit Novice? How did you get to the eighth floor with its strong pressure?"


    "Just like this," Blaze Regret smiled slightly.


    "Brother Blaze Aniqi, don''t underestimate him. This guy has had three more years of spirit power cultivation than ordinary spirit disciples," Blaze Kamil laughed, patting Blaze Aniqi''s shoulder.


    Among the younger generation of the Blaze family, Blaze Kamil and others were the most aware of Blaze Regret''s strength. Every time he ventured into the mountains, he would inform them. They had personally witnessed how Blaze Regret''s strength gradually increased.


    "Are you aiming for the ninth floor?"


    Blaze kamil raised his head, looking at the staircase leading to the ninth floor, his eyes flickering slightly. The last floor was not easy to reach.


    "How will I know if I don''t try? Besides, someone is waiting for me up there."


    With a light laugh, Blaze Regret moved towards the stairs. As soon as he stepped onto the staircase, an overwhelming force of spirit power surged towards him, causing his breath to hitch.


    "No wonder no one has ever reached the ninth floor. This pressure is no less than that of a spirit warrior."


    Muttering softly, Blaze Regret activated the spirit power within his spirit portal, directing it towards his legs. Under the watchful eyes of Blaze Kamil and Blaze Aniqi, he heavily stepped forward.


    "Thud!"


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret lifted his foot again. Each step left a deep imprint on the wooden stairs.


    "He actually made it up!" Blaze Aniqi''s mouth opened slightly, his eyes filled with astonishment.


    Treasure Pavilion, ninth floor.


    Similar to the previous eight floors, the ninth floor was divided into four rooms, each containing different items. However, the rarity of the items was worlds apart.


    "This room is filled entirely with spirit crystals?"


    Blaze Regret looked at a room filled with dozens of floating spirit crystals and couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. These were spirit crystals, and more importantly, there were so many of them!


    Although he was shocked, it was within Blaze Regret''s tolerance. A family''s accumulation over nearly ten years was indeed substantial. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the second room, there were dozens of spirit herbs, including some of the second tier. But like the spirit crystals, these items were optional for Blaze Regret at his current level.


    Entering the third room, he saw over a dozen suspended transparent glass spheres. Each sphere contained a slumbering spirit beast, and the lowest rank among them was mid tier Warrior level!


    "Lava Wolf?"


    Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on one of the glass spheres. Inside, a fire wolf was curled up, with its back resembling a piece of solidified lava, incredibly hard.


    "Tempted?" Master Magi''s figure appeared, smiling lightly. "The Lava Wolf, a mid tier warrior level spirit beast with immense potential, masters the spirit skill Lava Volcano. It can even fight higher tier Warrior level spirit beasts of the same rank. It is indeed a good choice for your second spirit portal."


    "However, before you become a spirit warrior, it is useless to you. If you are willing to trust me, after you break through to spirit warrior, I will give you a precious gift, the value of which will definitely satisfy you."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. After a while, he reluctantly looked away.


    "Really?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, a hint of cunning in his eyes.


    "Believe it or not." With a light snort, Master Magi disappeared into the void realms stone, unwilling to deal with Blaze Regret any further.


    Smiling secretly in his heart, Blaze Regret knew that Master Magi''s assurance was worth more than just a Lava Wolf; even the entire Treasure Pavilion couldn''t compare. The Medicine Emperor''s seed proved that well enough.


    Suppressing the little joy in his heart, Blaze Regret walked out slowly. His gaze turned cold as he looked at the last room. Kartis Man should be inside, right?


    "Not here?"


    Entering the final room, Blaze Regret''s brow furrowed slightly. All he saw were a dozen or so floating light clusters; there was no sign of Kartis Man.


    Taking a few steps, he stood in the center of the room. At that moment, a playful voice suddenly sounded behind him.


    "Finally, I caught you."


    Leaning against the doorframe, Kartis Man looked at Blaze Regret in the room with a smile, his gaze like a cat toying with a mouse.


    "So, how about it? Do you want to kneel and beg for mercy? If you stick your head out the window and shout ''Blaze Ash is a waste,'' I''ll let you go today. How about that?"


    Staring coldly at Kartis Man, who had a smile on his lips, Blaze Regret raised his hand slightly, and a fiery red magic array instantly intertwined in the air. Moments later, the petite figure of Red appeared from within.


    "You will pay for what you just said."


    Blaze Regret''s lips parted slightly, his voice carrying a chilling coldness.


    "Is that so?"


    Kartis Man waved his hand lightly, and a nearly ten foot long Floating Thunder Mink hovered in mid air, its broad wings flashing with dazzling lightning.

 Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Blaze Regret Vs Kartis Man 2

    I''d love to see how your sixth tier Flaming Cat plans to defeat my Floating Thunder Mink."Lowering his gaze slightly, Blaze Regret nodded at Red.


    Immediately, the instructed Red let out a sharp cry and emerged from its Cat charm state, its beautiful white fur swaying among its bushy tail. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A seventh tier high level novice class spirit beast, the Scorching Flame Cat?"


    Kartis Man''s pupils shrank slightly before he chuckled, "So, you''ve changed your primary spirit beast, huh? Well, anyone would do the same if they had a useless spirit beast like that. But do you really think that this Scorching Flame Cat can stand up to my Floating Thunder Mink?"


    The spiritual pressure in the Treasure Pavilion had greatly benefited Blaze Regret. The constant pressure on his spiritual portal rapidly increased the concentration of his spiritual power, allowing Red to directly break through to the seventh tier.


    Hearing Kartis Man''s presumptuous assumption, Blaze Regret merely let out a light laugh. His voice, devoid of any emotion, came out, "Red, tear it apart."


    "Let''s see who tears whom apart!"


    Kartis Man''s face instantly turned ferocious. With a flick of his finger, the Floating Thunder Mink swiftly darted forward, appearing in front of Red in an instant. Its claw, crackling with lightning, slashed down mercilessly.


    Thunder Split Claw!


    Sensing the ferocity of the attack, Red became fully alert. Intense flames wrapped around its claws as it swung them upwards forcefully, causing two red streaks to flash through the air.


    Bang!


    The two disproportionate figures collided solidly before abruptly separating, retreating backward.


    "Hiss!"


    With a sharp hiss, the Floating Thunder Mink quickly turned around, then spun violently. The rampant electrical energy gathered in front of it, faintly forming an energy mink equal to its size.


    "Let''s end this with the Thunder Shadow."


    Kartis Man''s voice drifted out gently, as if he had already pronounced Red''s death sentence.


    The radiant energy Float hovered in mid air, its domineering thunderous light flashing across its body, emanating a terrifying aura.


    "Hiss!"


    With a flap of its wings, the Floating Thunder Mink shot out, leaving a trail of dazzling lightning wherever it passed.


    "Let''s see how you block this!"


    Kartis Man''s lips curled into a sinister smile. The Floating Thunder Shadow, a spiritual skill only comprehensible by a ninth rank Floating Thunder Mink, had immense power, capable of easily killing a seventh Rank Flame Cat.


    The energy shock roared forward, but surprisingly, Red remained still, as if it hadn''t noticed, its eyes calm.


    "Scared stiff!" Kartis Man sneered disdainfully.


    However, the next moment, the energy shovk passed through Red''s body and crashed heavily into the wall, sending wooden debris flying as it exited the pavilion.


    "An afterimage?" Kartis Man''s pupils contracted.


    "Hiss!"


    The Floating Thunder Mink''s expression changed slightly, and its wings closed instantly. Behind it, a fiery red figure appeared, its claws burning with red flames, slashing out at a dizzying speed.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and the Floating Thunder Mink let out a mournful cry. Violent lightning surrounded its body, forcing Red back.


    When Kartis Man saw the wounds on the Floating Thunder Mink''s back, his face turned grim. There were dozens of ghastly wounds, blood flowing incessantly.


    Using both the Speed Claw and the Flame Claw simultaneously, their power was indeed terrifying!


    "How did you do it?"


    Kartis Man stared at Blaze Regret with a fierce gaze, unable to comprehend how Red had suddenly disappeared from its original position and reappeared behind the Floating Thunder Mink to launch such an unexpected attack.


    "Do I have an obligation to tell you that?"


    Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a faint smile. He certainly wasn''t going to reveal to Kartis Man that this was Red''s spiritual skill, Cat Illusion. In that instant, Red had created a decoy while its true body circled around to the back of the Floating Thunder Mink.


    If it were a warrior level spirit beast, it would have easily seen through this little trick. But a ninth tier Floating Thunder Mink clearly didn''t have that capability.


    "Hehe."


    Watching the Floating Thunder Mink stumble in mid air, Kartis Man let out a strange laugh, causing Blaze Regret to frown slightly.


    "Who would''ve thought you could make me use my true strength."


    Kartis Man spread his five fingers, with electric arcs dancing around them, and his cold voice slowly echoed, "Your Flame Cat should feel honored to die under this move."


    The Floating Thunder Mink, hovering in the air, had lightning flashing in its eyes. Its wings slightly folded as brilliant thunder energy quickly gathered between them. Within a few breaths, it had transformed into a thunderous slash, emitting an extremely violent aura.


    "Is this a low tier warrior level spiritual skill?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes slightly widened, and his expression turned exceedingly grave. He knew that as a member of the Kartis family, Kartis Man wouldn''t be without a hidden trump card.


    "This Thunderstrike Spirit Crystal was given to me by Kartis Van. He asked me to tell you that you''re not even qualified to be his opponent."


    "Slash!"


    The Floating Thunder Mink''s wings suddenly pulled back, and that thunderous slash burst out instantly, its terrifying energy capable of splitting a stone mountain in half.


    "Red, Flame Breath!"


    Red''s body trembled slightly, and three tangible streams of fiery red spiritual energy began to swirl around it. In that moment, its aura surged, reaching the eighth tier!


    "Flame Breath? Such a minor trick is useless in the face of absolute power," Kartis Man spoke indifferently, as if victory was already assured.


    The sharp whistling of the wind rushed past, and Red lifted its head slightly. Fiery red spiritual energy surged from its body, rapidly condensing in its mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a fireball the size of a fist.


    "A low tier warrior level spiritual skill, Flame Sun?"


    Kartis Man''s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke slowly, "I didn''t expect you to have such a fortune. Without Thunderstrike, I might have fallen here today. But there are no ''ifs'' in this world."


    The fireball rose gradually, and Red''s eyes turned fierce. The three streams of fiery red spiritual energy around it quickly intertwined like agile little snakes, merging into the fireball.

 Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Blaze Regret Vs Kartis Man 3

    With the infusion of spiritual energy, the fireball immediately expanded, radiating a dazzling light like a blazing sun. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."Whoosh!"


    The fireball, like a scorching sun, shot out violently. In the tense gazes of Blaze Regret and Kartis Man, it collided heavily with the thunderous slash.


    "Boom!"


    The collision unleashed a violent energy shockwave that instantly swept across the area, causing the floor to crack and fissures to spread wildly. The surrounding light orbs were also blown into disarray by the shockwave.


    "Your Flame Cat is doomed!" Kartis Man said harshly.


    Moments later, as the shockwave dissipated, both the Scorching Flame Cat on the ground and the Floating Thunder Mink in mid air came into view. The two spirit beasts were motionless, as if time had stopped.


    "Snap!"


    Moments later, Red''s tail lifted slightly before it collapsed onto the floor.


    "Haha, you lost!"


    Kartis Man laughed maniacally, but before his laughter could fade, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. His gaze turned disbelieving towards the Floating Thunder Mink in mid air.


    From his position behind the Floating Thunder Mink, Kartis Man couldn''t see that the creature''s abdomen had been blasted open, leaving a gaping, bloody hole. Only now did the blood begin to drip, staining the shattered floor red.


    "It seems like the one who lost is you."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly as he opened the spiritual portal and retrieved Red. The latter had collapsed merely because the Flame Breath technique had drained all its spiritual energy.


    Although Blaze Regret''s spiritual power was more abundant than that of an average spiritual novice, the synchronization speed of the spiritual energy was still limited, leading to the earlier scene.


    The Flame Breath technique was so complex that only one in a hundred Scorching Flame Cats could comprehend it; it wasn''t merely about a superficial increase in strength.


    "I told you, you would pay for those words."


    Just as kartis Man was about to flee, Blaze Regret''s ghostly voice suddenly whispered in his ear, making him shiver all over.


    "What do you want?"


    Kartis Man glared viciously at Blaze Regret. The death of the Floating Thunder Mink was a massive blow to him, rendering him powerless for at least three months. Naturally, he had no goodwill left for the harmful of his misery.


    "Even now, you''re still so aggravating."


    Blaze Regret sighed softly, extending his slender hand and slapping Kartis Man''s face hard.


    "Smack!"


    The temporary ringing in his ears made Kartis Man pause for a moment. Then he roared, "How dare you hit me? I''m from the Kartis family! When I return, I''ll bring people to wipe out your entire family and exterminate your clan!"


    "You want to die!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes turned completely cold as he gathered spiritual energy into his right knee. In an instant, to Kartis Man''s terrified and furious gaze, he thrust his knee hard into Kartis Man''s abdomen!


    "Bang!"


    A muffled sound echoed, and Kartis Man''s body instantly curled up like a shrimp. At this moment, the anger in his eyes had completely vanished, replaced solely by a deep, pervasive fear.


    Struggling to lift his head, he looked at the refined face of the young man in front of him. Only now did he truly understand that Blaze Regret had never considered his Kartis family status significant from the beginning!


    His so called sense of superiority was nothing but a ridiculous joke!


    In front of the Treasure Pavilion, figures gradually stepped out, gathering in the square and engaging in excited conversations.


    "I got a Rock fruit, which can enhance the power of my Rock Scroll Stone. I''ve hit the jackpot!"


    "Damn, such good luck? I only reached the sixth level and picked an ordinary spirit herb."


    Amidst the noisy chatter, Blaze Qistina wasn''t in the mood to talk. Her watery eyes were tightly fixed on the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Neither Blaze Regret nor Kartis Man had come out yet.


    "Bang!"


    At this moment, from the ninth floor, a burst of lightning accompanied by shattered wood exploded outward. In the end, amidst a sharp mink''s cry, it turned into countless light spots and dispersed, leaving only the scattered wood chips falling.


    "Are they fighting?"


    Not only Blaze Qistina, but everyone in the square also held their breath slightly, then quickly shifted their gazes to the broken pavilion, their eyes serious.


    "Heh, this kid Kartis Man still strikes so ruthlessly."


    Kartis Kai shook his head with a smile, as if reprimanding, "Patriarch Blaze, my apologies. If your young master is accidentally injured, please be forgiving."


    His demeanor made it seem like he had already envisioned Kartis Man trampling Blaze Regret.


    "Same to you," Blaze Ash said calmly, raising his head.


    The old eyes narrowed slightly, and Kartis Kai laughed, "Patriarch Blaze, you really know how to joke."


    "How do you know it''s definitely my cousin who will lose and not your precious grandson?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Qistina looked at Kartis Kai angrily and retorted.


    With a snort of derision, Kartis Kai clasped his hands behind his back, a look of arrogance on his face, clearly unwilling to engage with Blaze Qistina. He thought it was a joke, how could Kartis Man, a ninth stage Spirit novice, possibly lose?


    "Hehe, confidence is a good thing, but being too arrogant will only make you a laughingstock..."


    Ahmad kamal, who suddenly appeared, smiled faintly. However, just as his smile faded, there was a loud bang that resounded in the air.


    "Bang!"


    On the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a large hole suddenly appeared. Then, everyone saw a disheveled figure fall out, crashing heavily onto the ground, causing the entire square to shake.


    "Kartis Man!"


    Seeing the figure clearly, everyone in the square had their pupils contract sharply. Immediately, the sound of people gasping for breath could be heard one after another.


    Kartis Man lay on the hard ground, his hair disheveled, bloodied teeth scattered around his face, and an undeniable look of fear deep in his eyes.


    He really wanted to kill me

 Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Sunfire Finger and Sun Flame Wall

    His heart filled with fear, Kartis Man trembled as he turned his head, casting a pleading look at Kartis Kai."Sorry, you lost."


    Inside the Treasure Pavilion, a figure stepped forward slowly, lightly tossing an void realm stone in his hand, his expression calm.


    Kartis Kai stared at Kartis Man''s blood covered face in shock, clearly still reeling from the recent events.


    "Mission accomplished," Blaze Regret said with a smile, turning his gaze to his father Blaze Ash.


    "How is this possible..."


    Kartis Kai staggered, and then an overwhelming killing intent erupted from his body. His face twisted with rage, "Boy, you''re ruthless! How dare you injure Kartis Man like this!"


    His angry voice echoed as he waved his sleeve, and an imposing Thunder Steed charged out. The Thunder Steed, about ten feet in size, had dark lightning flickering across its body. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A Demon Thunder Steed?!


    Many of the Blaze family members'' expressions changed. Kartis Kai was attacking Blaze Regret!


    The ferocious Demon Thunder Steed, stepping on dark thunderclouds, charged violently toward Blaze Regret. Wherever it passed, black streaks appeared in the air, marks left by the demonic lightning.


    The terrifying energy of the lightning surged, making Blaze Regret''s skin prickle with pain. Cursing under his breath, he quickly tried to mobilize his inner spiritual energy to use the Flame Step technique. But to his horror, he discovered that his spiritual energy was somehow obstructed, and its flow had slowed down significantly!


    This Demon Thunder Steed, just by its sheer presence, had him firmly suppressed. It was clear that its strength was far beyond the Imperial level!


    "Damn, it''s at the Lord level!"


    Blaze Regret gritted his teeth. No wonder the Kartis family was such a powerful family. Even an ordinary elder had the strength of a Spirit Lord, enough to become the head of a family in Veloria City!


    As thoughts raced through his mind, the Demon Thunder Steed had already reached him. Its hooves, charged with dark lightning, were poised to stomp through his chest!


    "Kartis Kai, how dare you attack a member of my Blaze family! Do you think we are easy targets?"


    A cold shout rang out, followed by flames sweeping in like a red cloud. They struck the Demon Thunder Steed, sending it flying dozens of feet away.


    The energy released from the collision made Blaze Regret''s nose and mouth bleed, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open, with fissures rapidly spreading.


    Using the force of the shockwave, Blaze Regret quickly retreated, stepping back dozens of times before stabilizing himself. His gaze was extremely serious; a Lord level spirit beast was indeed formidable. Just the aftershock of the collision was enough to instantly kill the top spirit novice.


    If either side had used a spirit technique just now, he would have been reduced to bones!


    After colliding with the imposing Fire Spirit Lion, the Demon Thunder Steed, surrounded by black lightning, quickly separated. It was only a fourth rank lord, while the Fire Spirit Lion was a seventh rank lord. Continuing the fight would only lead to its own death!


    "The Kartis family is truly becoming more and more degenerate. I wonder if Kartis Bob also engages in such bullying tactics in the central empire," Blaze Ash said coldly, glancing at Blaze Regret to ensure he was unharmed.


    Seeing the murderous intent flickering in Blaze Regret''s eyes, Kartis Kai clenched his fist tightly. After a moment, he slowly released it, knowing that today he could not seek justice for Kartis Man.


    If it weren''t for the family head''s orders not to act rashly, he would have already brought people to flatten this place!


    With resentment in his heart, Kartis Kai walked toward Kartis Man. He placed a healing pill in Kartis Man''s mouth and was about to lead him away from the square.


    "Wait a moment!"


    At that moment, Blaze Regret suddenly shouted.


    Under the gaze of astonished onlookers, Blaze Regret quickly walked toward Kartis Man, his speed causing fear to flash in Kartis Man''s eyes once again.


    He was already terrified of Blaze Regret!


    "Don''t worry, I won''t hit you today."


    Seemingly to reassure Kartis Man, Blaze Regret reached inside Kartis Man''s clothes. After a bit of searching, he pulled out a fiery red book.


    A spirit technique, "Sun Flame Wall"!


    "Father, this doesn''t count as breaking the rules, right?"


    Blaze Regret scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed as he glanced at Blaze Ash. Then, with a flick of his void realms stone, a fiery red light orb flew out and landed in his left hand.


    Each person who enters the Treasure Pavilion can only choose one item, so Blaze Regret ''borrowed'' Kartis Man to take out an extra spirit technique.


    "You little rascal." Blaze Ash shook his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, then waved his hand, clearly in a good mood. "Alright, just this once. No one is allowed to imitate this in the future!"


    Hearing this, the clansmen in the square all chuckled.


    Kartis Man, who was being carried by Kartis Kai, nearly blacked out and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.


    He finally realized just how much of a rascal Blaze Regret truly was!


    In the courtyard, Blaze Regret lazily leaned against the tree trunk, a void realms stone dancing rhythmically between his fingers.


    "I thought everyone in the Kartis family was filthy rich, but it turns out they''re poorer than me."


    With disdain, Blaze Regret put away Kartis Man''s void realms stone and took out two books radiating a fiery red glow. They were the Sunfire Finger and the Sun Flame Wall.


    "Master Magi, do spiritual arts have levels?" Blaze Regret asked.


    Appearing on the tree branch, Master Magi held a broad leaf and, with a ghostly presence, began to explain slowly.


    Unlike spiritual skills, spiritual arts do not have strict power classifications. They grow stronger with the spiritual master''s progress. Moreover, the more potent the master''s spiritual energy, the greater the power of the spiritual arts.


    With Blaze Regret''s current strength, if he were to use the Sunfire Finger, it could penetrate the body of an eighth rank high level novice class spiritual beast. On the other hand, the Sun Flame Wall could withstand a full force attack from a ninth rank high level novice class spiritual beast.

 Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 1

    The difference between offensive and defensive spiritual arts lies in their energy consumption. Offensive arts consume a vast amount of spiritual energy, whereas defensive arts require only a minimal amount to maintain. Therefore, defensive spiritual arts are fundamental for a spiritual master''s survival.If Kartis Man had a defensive art similar to the Sun Flame Wall, even if Blaze Regret defeated the Floating Thunder Mink, he could only stare helplessly.


    Time quietly passed by.


    Under the dense tree canopy that resembled dark clouds, a figure stood motionless. A gentle breeze blew, causing a few emerald green leaves to flutter down like broken winged butterflies.


    At that moment, the figure''s eyes suddenly opened, a sharp glint flashing within them. His fingers began to emit a faint red glow.


    "Sunfire Finger!"


    With a low shout, Blaze Regret brought his fingers together like a drawn sword and thrust them forward forcefully. The intense heat emanating from his fingers caused the moisture in the emerald green leaves to evaporate rapidly.


    "Hiss!"


    Without the slightest resistance, Blaze Regret''s fingers pierced through the leaves and continued their momentum, striking heavily against the thick tree trunk.


    "Boom!"


    His fingers, glowing with fire, embedded themselves deep into the trunk. When he pulled them out, a small, charred hole appeared on the tree''s surface.


    In the tree canopy, Master Magi yawned out of boredom. With a wave of his hand, a few leaves detached from the trunk, slicing through the air like spinning blades and hurtling downward.


    "Sun Flame Wall!"


    Hearing the sharp sound from above, Blaze Regret''s body tensed instantly. He thrust his palms forward, and a faint red spiritual energy surged, forming a thin, tangible wall that stood in front of him.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    The sharp leaves struck the Sun Flame Wall directly, embedding themselves at an angle but unable to penetrate further.


    Exhaling lightly, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. After a day of practice, the Sun Flame Wall could now withstand the attacks of a ninth rank high level Novice class spiritual beast.


    "You''ve made some progress, but there''s still a way to go. Although you''re currently only a seventh rank spiritual novice, the density of your spiritual energy rivals that of a first rank spiritual warrior. If you can advance further, even some imperial class spiritual beasts won''t be able to break through your defenses."


    Despite his words, Master Magi nodded in satisfaction. After just one day, Blaze Regret had managed to master two spiritual techniques simultaneously, showcasing his remarkable talent.


    Seeing Blaze Regret finally stop his practice, a trembling Red, who had been playing with a sandworm in the bushes, joyfully dashed over, wagging its little tail.


    "Tap! Tap!"


    Just then, a commotion of footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the courtyard, interspersed with a few angry shouts. The entire Blaze family seemed to be in turmoil at that moment. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It seems something has happened," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, a heavy feeling settling in his heart.


    How long had it been since such a situation occurred? The last time was when the family had just arrived in Veloria City and went to war with the Snow family.


    "Blaze Tot, what''s going on?"


    As soon as Blaze Regret stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the hurried expression on Blaze Tot''s face and quickly pulled him aside to inquire.


    Catching his breath, Blaze Tot smiled bitterly and said, "Just now, the Second Elder sent word that the family''s convoy transporting goods outside was attacked, suffering heavy losses."


    "What? What about my father?" Blaze Regret''s eyes turned icy cold as he scanned the surroundings, not seeing the figure he was looking for.


    "Don''t mention it. Isn''t the Angsana Pavilion Festival about to start? The people from the Angsana Pavillion Workshop summoned the heads of the four major families this morning. The Snow family probably took advantage of this gap to launch a devastating attack on our family," Blaze Tot said with a bitter smile.


    "Blaze Regret, hurry back to your room. All the family members who have reached the level of spiritual warrior have already gone out to provide support. I need to head there quickly too."


    Waving his hand, Blaze Tot quickly ran out with the Blue Flame Beast by his side.


    Several figures flashed past in front of him, and a cold gleam gathered in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    Returning to the courtyard, Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, who was leisurely floating in mid air, and softly said, "I need your help."


    Shaking his head slightly, Master Magi replied helplessly, "I only promised to help you with your training. I have no obligation to save your family members. In my current state, every time I make a move, I suffer backlash, unless..."


    "Unless what?" Blaze Regret asked urgently.


    "Unless you can find a part of my original body." A sly look flashed in Master Magi''s eyes.


    "No problem. As long as you can help the Blaze family out of this danger today, you can even refine me if you want." Seeing that Master Magi was willing to help, Blaze Regret felt a quiet relief and quickly agreed.


    "It''s not that terrifying. It''s still early. Perhaps after you participate in that Angsana Pavilion Festival, you''ll have the qualification to help me find my original body."


    Master Magi nodded in satisfaction and looked at Red. "I can''t intervene directly. I''ll need to borrow your body. This process might be extremely painful."


    "Woof!"


    With a determined look in its eyes, Red glanced at Blaze Regret and firmly nodded its little head.


    "Then endure it!"


    Master Magi''s face suddenly turned serious. He formed a seal with his hands, and a wide beam of light, about ten feet in diameter, descended from the sky, enveloping Red. Golden runes slowly rotated along with the spinning beam of light.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones breaking echoed as Red''s body rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, it grew to human size. Its fluffy tail, like a burning flame, waved in the air, exuding a wild aura.


    "Woof!"


    Enduring the pain, Red let out an angry Cat howl. Its Cat paw extended, and its claws, sharp as blades, sliced a piece of hard rock in two.


    Finally, its body trembled, and a faint red ripple spread out, causing even the air to distort slightly.

 Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 2

    "Is this still Red?"Looking at Red, whose back was already reaching his chest, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and sigh quietly.


    "If the Scorching Flame Cat grows to the Imperial level, it would indeed look like this." Slowly drifting down, Master Magi''s body appeared somewhat illusory, and his voice sounded weak.


    "Are you saying that Red is already at the imperial level now?" Blaze Regret looked at the majestic Red, his eyes filled with shock. At the same time, the terror he felt towards Master Magi rose another level. The ability to enhance a spirit beast''s strength with a wave of the hand could only be described as terrifying!


    "Act quickly. This Flame Cat can only maintain its current state for half an hour. Once that time is up, it will revert to its original strength," Master Magi shook his head and floated back into the void Realms stone at Blaze Regret''s waist.


    "Don''t worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."


    Thinking silently, Blaze Regret patted Red''s fluffy head, his eyes turning cold: "So, it''s the Snow family. Your plans are going to fall apart!"


    Outside the ancient city, on a small path in the western suburbs.


    This road was always a necessary route for Blaze family''s goods transportation, remote and quiet, but now it was dotted with bloodstains.


    "Brother Blaze Along, run quickly! Blue ken is too strong, we can''t hold him off!"


    A despairing cry rang out. A member of the Blaze family, his eyes filled with fear and anger, stared at a tall figure not far ahead. Beside him, a blood-stained Thunder Eagle struggled to flap its wings, as if it might fall down at any moment.


    "Blue ken, you have no enmity with the Blaze family, so why attack us suddenly?" Blaze Along gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the young man known as Blue ken.


    "You''ve been rooted in Veloria City for just over a decade, and you think you can compete with the Snow family?"


    Blue Ken sneered disdainfully, gently patting below him. There lay a tall Phosphorescent Tiger, glaring ferociously at the figures ahead. Its claws, stained with the blood of numerous spirit beasts, exuded menace.


    "Aren''t you afraid that our Blaze family''s patriarch and elders will seek revenge for what you''re doing?"


    Feeling a sinking sensation in his heart, Blaze Along understood that Blue Ken was here to assist the Snow family, leaving no room for negotiation. He could only speak while seeking an opportunity to escape.


    His strength was only that of an eighth tier spirit warrior, whereas Yuan Tong had been a spirit imperial for many years, someone he could not possibly contend with!


    "So what if they seek revenge? Do you think I, Blue Ken, am afraid of your Blaze family? Put away those petty thoughts. Today, none of you will leave here alive."


    Blue Ken''s cold laughter echoed as the Phosphorescent Tiger immediately stood up. Its body, as massive as a small mountain, was robust and imposing, making Blaze Along''s face turn decidedly grim.


    "Attack, tear them apart!"


    Upon receiving the command, the Phosphorescent Tiger let out a roar that shook the forest, its body dashing forward with a fierce wind. In an instant, it was beneath Blaze Along''s Thunder Eagle, its sharp claws solidified with hard rock, heavy and lethal.


    "Smack!"


    With a sweeping blow, the Thunder Eagle, unable to dodge in time, was thrown into the air. Feathers, crackling with lightning, fluttered down, and the pitiful screeches of the eagle echoed around.


    Forcibly stabilizing its stumbling form, the Thunder Eagle''s broad wings flapped vigorously, and in an instant, six lightning spears appeared out of thin air around it, then shot down with a brilliant radiance.


    As the lightning spears descended, the Phosphorescent Tiger showed no signs of defense, astonishingly confronting them with its bare body.


    "Crack!"


    The lightning spears struck, and immediately, under Blue Ken''s mocking gaze, shattered inch by inch. The surging electric currents circled the Phosphorescent Tiger''s body a few times before disappearing.


    "What a pity, lightning attribute attacks are ineffective against my Phosphorescent Tiger," Blue Ken sneered.


    Turning his head to look at Blaze Along''s extremely grim expression, Blue Ken''s lips curled slightly, as if he were pitying him.


    It was common knowledge among spirit masters that rock attribute spirit beasts could be immune to lightning attribute spirit beast attacks. This was because the former''s body structure did not conduct electricity. Therefore, unless a lightning attribute spirit beast attacked directly with its body, it couldn''t harm them.


    "Everyone, help Brother Blaze Along!"


    One of the clansmen, seeing the situation, looked at the others. Their spirit beasts were all wood attribute spirit beasts, known as the Withered Vines, which, although weaker, had a certain degree of control ability.


    "Got it!"


    With determined eyes, they commanded their spirit beasts to charge. In an instant, dozens of thick vines wove together like a giant green net, enveloping the area.


    The vines had a wide coverage, and the Phosphorescent Tiger was tightly bound. The more the vines tightened, the more sharp thorns emerged from them, attempting to injure the tiger. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Having worked together for a long time, these people had developed a strong sense of teamwork. They once used this technique to take down a low tier imperial level spirit beast, earning them some renown within their family.


    Unfortunately, that spirit beast was without a master, whereas the Phosphorescent Tiger currently had a spirit master controlling it!


    Seeing their target bound, the Thunder Eagle in the sky circled once before diving down like a meteor, heading straight for the Phosphorescent Tiger. Its slightly curved talons gleamed sharply, like metal.


    "Tiger Rend Claw!"


    Watching this scene, Blue Ken''s eyes remained indifferent. However, his voice turned icy, clearly indicating that he had lost patience with these insignificant pests.


    The Phosphorescent Tiger spread its arms, creating a gap in the giant vine net. With a swift slash of its lightning fast claws, the vines quickly snapped apart. Its blood red eyes then shifted abruptly toward the incoming Thunder Eagle.


    "Roar!"


    The enraged tiger''s roar echoed as it swung its paw, causing an enormous rock pillar to materialize and hover in front of its palm. The pillar then began to spin rapidly, sending fragments of stone flying.

 Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 3

    As the stone fragments flew, the tip of the rock pillar sharpened, exuding a fierce aura.Mid tier imperial level skill: Phosphorescent Rock Spike!


    "Whoosh!"


    With a swift movement of the tiger''s claw, the sharp rock pillar shot out violently, like a spear piercing the sky, heading straight for the Thunder Eagle, seemingly tearing through space itself.


    "Thud!"


    Without any surprise, the Thunder Eagle''s body was directly pierced through, falling like a bird with broken wings, emitting a sorrowful cry. The rock pillar spear left a gruesome wound in its body.


    Leaping high, the Phosphorescent Tiger ruthlessly pinned the falling Thunder Eagle to the ground, its fierce gaze suggesting it would tear out the eagle''s throat in the next moment.


    "Let it go!" Blaze Along''s eyes were wide with rage, the pupils turning a crazed blood red.


    "Shh, don''t make a noise."


    Feigning mystery, Blue Ken placed a finger to his lips, then looked at the Phosphorescent Tiger and smiled, "As a reward, this Thunder Eagle will be your dinner tonight."


    "Roar!"


    The Phosphorescent Tiger, pleased, shook its head and opened its massive, bloody maw, ready to bite the Thunder Eagle''s throat amid the anguished gazes of Blaze Along and the others!


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as the sharp teeth of the Phosphorescent Tiger were about to touch the Thunder Eagle, a clear Cat call suddenly echoed from afar, sweeping through the mountain forest.


    Hearing this sound, Blue Ken squinted slightly, then turned to look behind him, his face showing a hint of surprise. The ferocious Phosphorescent Tiger also halted its action of biting the Thunder Eagle''s neck, staring intently in the direction Blue Ken was looking.


    "Swish!"


    The next moment, a sharp whistling sound pierced the sky. A dark shadow swept past everyone''s heads, crashing heavily to the ground like a meteor, sending dirt flying everywhere.


    As the yellow mud settled, under the watchful eyes of many, a cold eyed Flame Cat gently swayed its tail with an imposing demeanor. On its back sat a figure in a black robe, their face completely obscured by the large hood, making it impossible to see their features.


    Lifting his face, Blaze Regret sniffed the scent of blood lingering in the air and frowned slightly. He then gently stepped down from the back of the Flame Cat. Upon seeing his seriously injured clansmen and the Thunder Eagle pinned under the Phosphorescent Tiger''s claws, a cold glint flickered in his eyes.


    Fortunately, no one had died yet.


    "Sir, I hope my business here hasn''t troubled you," Blue Ken said, his face changing slightly upon noticing the imperial level strength of the Flame Cat. However, he didn''t take it too seriously. The number of spirit imperial in the entire Veloria City could be counted on one hand.


    He didn''t believe that the suddenly appearing Blaze Regret would aid the Blaze family; it was most likely a mere coincidence.


    "Is the heavens really dooming us?"


    Seeing another spirit imperial appear, Blaze Along''s lips curled into a bitter smile. He instinctively thought that this newly arrived spirit imperial was undoubtedly an ally of the Snow family. One Blue Ken was already enough to drive them to despair. Adding another spirit imperial would be enough to crush them instantly.


    "Did you do this?" Blaze Regret asked Blue Ken slowly, his voice tinged with a faint killing intent.


    "Yes, and so what? What does it have to do with you?" Blue Ken was momentarily stunned, then a cold glint surged in his eyes. He had clearly sensed Blaze Regret''s hostility towards him.


    This person is an enemy, not a friend!


    By now, if he still didn''t understand, Blue Ken wouldn''t be worthy of being called a spirit master. However, he wasn''t the least bit afraid. Instead, he immediately prepared to confront Blaze Regret head on. Both being spirit imperial, it was yet to be seen who was stronger.


    "Phosphorescent Tiger, kill that Thunder Eagle first!"


    Upon hearing Blue Ken''s command, the Phosphorescent Tiger''s bloody maw immediately descended to tear at the Thunder Eagle pinned under its claws, causing the bird to let out a heart wrenching cry. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No!" Blaze Along''s face turned ashen.


    With eyes as dark as the night narrowing, the Flame Cat''s paw lifted gently and then stomped down fiercely. In the blink of an eye, it swiftly crossed paths with the Phosphorescent Tiger under everyone''s gaze, like a whirlwind.


    As if oblivious, the Phosphorescent Tiger bit down into empty air, the sound of its teeth clashing resounding in everyone''s ears.


    Ten meters away, the Flame Cat gently placed the Thunder Eagle it held in its mouth on the ground, then turned to stare coldly at the ferocious, rock like Phosphorescent Tiger.


    "A mid level imperial spirit skill, Cat Flash?"


    Blue Ken licked his lips and chuckled, "Interesting. It''s been a while since I''ve seen a new spirit imperial. Friend, why hide your face and not dare show your true self?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret laughed lightly, "What are you, but a lackey trying to curry favor with the Snow family? Do you think you are worthy of knowing me?"


    Blue Ken''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his mouth twitched. Usually, he was the one saying such things to others, not the other way around.


    "How annoying," Blue Ken''s eyes turned completely cold, a sinister smile curling up his lips, "Arrogant fool, I hope that after your Flame Cat is killed, you can still maintain that haughty demeanor."


    "Phosphorescent Tiger, kill it!"


    Facing the equally formidable Flame Cat, the Phosphorescent Tiger did not underestimate its opponent. Its tiger claw extended, quickly enveloped by hard, gray rock, and then it charged forward suddenly.


    Cold wind swept past, and the Flame Cat retreated lightly. The tiger claw, sharp as a blade, grazed past its throat, lifting a few strands of red fur into the air.


    Having missed its target, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in the Phosphorescent Tiger''s eyes. It turned its claw and struck the ground heavily, causing several sharp stone spikes to burst from the earth, like a row of spears, continuously thrusting toward the Flame Cat.

 Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 4

    Reflected in the black eyes of the Flame Cat were the stone spikes relentlessly coming at it. With a disdainful flick of its tail, the Flame Cat spun lightly, shattering the stone spikes that could penetrate a ninth tier spirit beast into mere rubble."What?"


    Staring at the scattered stone fragments, an ominous feeling crept into Blue Ken''s heart. The strength of this Flame Cat might very well surpass that of his Phosphorescent Tiger!


    "We have to go all out. Phosphorescent Tiger, use the Phosphorus Rock Armor!"


    Without any reservations, sharp rock spikes rapidly sprouted from the Phosphorescent Tiger''s body, covering it entirely, making it look like a porcupine.


    "Bang!"


    The two beasts collided fiercely once more, the violent wind mixed with dirt swept around them. As the two spirit beasts continued their fierce battle, cracks began to appear on the small path beneath them, resembling a spiderweb of fissures.


    "So strong!"


    Putting the severely injured Thunder Eagle back into his spirit portal, Blaze Along was filled with shock. This was the clash between imperial level spirit beasts, far beyond what any ninth tier spirit beast could compare to!


    Dodging the Flame Cat''s sweeping claws, the Phosphorescent Tiger suddenly leaped high, spreading its arms wide, its claws transformed into rock. With a mountain splitting stance, it fiercely slashed down. However, this terrifying attack, which could tear apart a spirit beast of the same level, was easily deflected by the Flame Cat''s fluffy tail.


    The Flame Cat''s tail was extraordinarily flexible, like a swimming fish. When the Phosphorescent Tiger''s claws struck it, it felt like they were sliding over a layer of rubber, unable to exert any force.


    "A imperial level Phosphorescent Tiger, and this is all it can do? It doesn''t seem as formidable as I imagined," Blaze Regret remarked with a faint smile. Currently, the Flame Cat had the strength of about a sixth tier Imperial level.


    Although he couldn''t fully discern the capabilities of Blue Ken''s Phosphorescen Tiger, he could keenly sense from their exchanges that the latter was significantly outmatched by the Flame Cat.


    "Too naive," Blue Ken''s eyes darkened as he spread his palm, causing grayish white light to flicker continuously. "Your Flame Cat may be of a higher tier than the Phosphorescent Tiger, but don''t forget, rock type spirit beasts counter fire type ones!"


    The Phosphorescent Tiger, engaged in combat with the Flame Cat, roared in anger and swiftly retreated several steps, creating a wide distance between itself and the Flame Cat. It then raised its head high, and the space above it began to distort suddenly.


    Grayish white spiritual energy surged from its body and converged in mid air, quickly transforming into numerous grayish white rocks, emanating a vast and powerful aura.


    "Phosphorus Rock Bombardment!"


    With a fierce wave of its paw, the Phosphorescent Tiger sent the floating rocks plummeting down like meteors, tearing through the air and raining down upon the Flame Cat below, covering it entirely!


    Rocks fell from the sky with piercing whistles, crashing heavily onto the ground around Flame Cat, creating pits instantly.


    "Let''s see how you dodge this!"


    Blue Ken sneered. His Phosphorescent Tiger had taken down countless spirit beasts at the Imperial level with this skill, and now, it was about to claim a fire attribute Imperial level spirit core.


    "A range attack skill, Phosphorus Bombardment..."


    Calmly watching the falling rocks, a faint smile slowly spread across Blaze Regret''s face. "Since you''ve exhausted your tricks, just lie down quietly."


    "Whoosh!"


    In a flash, Flame Cat, like a red shadow, dodged a rock that was about to hit its waist. With a swift step, dazzling flames burst forth from its body, instantly turning the stone debris on the ground into dust.


    "What is this?" Blue Ken''s eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease surged in his heart.


    Flame Cat''s eyes coldly locked onto the Phosphorescent Tiger. Its body slightly crouched before it shot out like a sharp flaming blade, splitting the rock in front of it in half!


    The strongest attack skill of a Imperial level Scorching Flame Cat, Scorching Flame Soul!


    "Swish!"


    Under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, Flame Cat turned into a streak of flame, piercing through the Phosphorescent Tiger''s body. Behind it, a long flame trail dragged out like a tangible entity, lingering for a long time.


    Flame Cat stood behind the Phosphorescent Tiger, its red fur fluttering in the wind. At this moment, everything was silent.


    With a soft snort, Flame Cat indifferently turned around and slowly walked towards Blaze Regret. The moment it reached him, the tall Phosphorescent Tiger''s eyes dimmed and it collapsed with a loud crash.

    Watching this scene, Blue Ken''s pupils contracted, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his face.


    "The Phosphorescent Tiger... is dead?"


    Blaze Along and the others watching the battle let out a long sigh of relief. Their gazes towards Blaze Regret now carried a deep sense of fear and apprehension.


    Blue Ken had quite a reputation in Veloria City, yet today, he had fallen at the hands of a stranger.


    "Who exactly are you?" Blue Ken demanded coldly while rapidly conjuring a spirit Portal. Even though the death of his Phosphorescent Tiger had dealt him a significant blow, he still had enough spiritual power to summon a second spirit portal.


    A grayish white spirit gate appeared, and a menacing Rock Serpent emerged from it. Blue Ken quickly leaped onto its back, casting a venomous look at Blaze Regret before attempting to flee.


    "You''ve got guts, daring to interfere with the Snow family''s affairs. Once I report this to Snow Fazlin, you won''t even have a place to be buried!"


    Snow Fazlin was the head of the Snow family!


    Listening to Blue Ken''s hateful words, Blaze Regret smiled faintly. "Since you''re here, don''t think about leaving."


    Red''s figure blurred, and within a few breaths, it landed on the Rock Serpent''s back. In Blue Ken''s terrified gaze, Red swung a claw.


    "Slash!"


    Blood splattered. Blue Ken clutched his throat with both hands, his eyes filled with despair, and he made incoherent, struggling sounds.

 Chapter 55: Chapter 55 Snow Fazlin 1

    The next moment, he fell from the Rock Serpent''s back, his body still twitching slightly.With Blue Ken''s death, a look of confusion flashed in the Rock Serpent''s eyes. It swiftly flicked its tail and darted into the forest.


    With the Spirit Master''s death, the contract automatically dissolved. The Rock Serpent didn''t have a deep bond with Blue Ken and had no intention of avenging him.


    Red extended its tail, probing into Blue Ken''s clothing. With a gentle shake, a sandalwood box traced an arc through the air and landed in Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "Is this the Hundred Healing Pill?"


    Blaze Regret chuckled softly, surprised that Blue Ken had some wealth. Although the price of the Hundred Healing Pill wasn''t as high as strength enhancing pills like the Mu Li Pill, each one still fetched around three thousand gold coins. And there were four pills in this wooden box.


    "These are for you."


    With a glance at Blaze Along and the others, Blaze Regret''s expression softened. He closed the sandalwood box and tossed it over.


    "Snap!"


    Catching the wooden box, Blaze Along was somewhat dazed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the black robed figure already seated on the back of the Scorching Flame Cat, swiftly departing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.


    "We survived!"


    A member of the Blaze family beside Blaze Along collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted, not caring about the bloodstains. His heart was filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.


    "We''re safe here, but what about the Second Elder?"


    At this thought, a look of worry reappeared on Blaze Along''s face. If nothing had gone wrong, the Snow family''s Great Elder, Snow Azrul, and Second Elder, Snow Ahmad, must have already gone to intercept Blaze Peter. If the Blaze family''s Great Elder were present, there would be no need to fear, but right now, Great Elder Blaze Wahab was still at Bloodstone Pass.


    This meant that Blaze Peter would have to face Snow Azrul and Snow Ahmad simultaneously!


    "Let''s hope that mysterious person isn''t just acting on a whim and is truly here to help the Blaze family," Blaze Along muttered, looking into the distance.


    Veloria City, Batas Shop.


    Similar to Atlas Shop, Batas Shop was also one of the stores under the Angsana Pavilion, ranking alongside Catas Shop and Batas Shop. However, its scale was evidently much larger than that of Atlas Shop.


    At this moment, in the hall of the Batas Shop, four middle aged men were seated. The attending servants looked at these individuals with a sense of apprehension because they were all Lord Spirit Masters!


    Lord Spirit Masters represented the highest combat power in Veloria City, and today, they had all gathered in this small hall!


    "Hehe, masters of the families, rest assured. After the matter is settled, Angsana Pavilion will not treat you poorly."


    An elder seated at the head of the hall stroked his beard and smiled lightly. "And, regardless of the final outcome, Angsana Pavilion will each present you with a Hun Yuan Pill."


    Upon hearing the name Hun Yuan Pill, even the patriarchs of the four great families were slightly moved.


    The Hun Yuan Pill was an extremely miraculous type of first grade pill. Unlike the Earth Flame Pill and Mu Li Pill, which could only be refined by spirit beasts with specific attributes, this pill had no attribute restrictions. As long as a ninth tier novice level spirit beast consumed it, it could instantly break through to the Warrior level!


    "Angsana Pavilion indeed has a grand gesture."


    The stern faced patriarch of the Met family couldn''t help but let out a long breath. Even his serious face now bore a satisfied smile. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing the change in expressions of the four, the elder also smiled. After all, the four great families were the local overlords of Veloria City. Building a good relationship with them was beneficial and harmless. The so called Angsana Pavilion Festival was precisely an opportunity to foster good relations with the local powers.


    Otherwise, who would hold such a boring event?


    Directly giving away items would only make oneself appear inferior. This method not only allowed the acquisition of precious spiritual medicines and herbs from special regions but also fostered friendships with local powers, achieving two goals with one action.


    Thinking of this, the elder couldn''t help but silently praise the master of Angsana Pavilion for his incredible wisdom.


    "Since the matter is settled, we won''t disturb you any longer."


    Having achieved their goal, Met Intan, the patriarch of the Met family, smiled and cupped his hands toward the elder. The other patriarchs, including Blaze Ash, also stood up and cupped their fists in farewell.


    "Wait a moment."


    At this moment, Snow Fazlin suddenly stopped everyone. He glanced at Blaze Ash with a smile emerging on his face. "Gentlemen, why not wait a bit? I, Snow, invite you to watch a good show. What do you think?"


    Seeing Snow Fazlin''s insincere smile, Met Intan and the others were somewhat bewildered but remained silent, only staring at him in confusion.


    With his brows slightly furrowed, Blaze Ash spread out his spiritual sense. His gaze suddenly shifted sharply to the elder of the Batas Shop, and an icy, furious shout echoed abruptly.


    "Mat Kun, you''re courting death!"


    Blaze Ash''s furious roar echoed in the hall. For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.


    A hint of confusion flashed in their eyes as the heads of the Sky and Met families, Sky Rodzi and Met Intan, respectively, slightly furrowed their brows. Their questioning gazes then shifted to Mat Kun, the owner of the Batas Shop.


    "Brother Blaze, what do you mean by this?" Mat Kun''s eyes flickered as he spoke slowly.


    "Blaze Ash, you are bold indeed, daring to provoke Senior Mat Kun. Do you not regard the Angsana Medicine Pavilion behind him?" Snow Fazlin sneered.


    Blaze Ash''s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He let out a cold snort, and with a sudden wave of his sleeve, a stream of flames shot out violently, crashing onto the roof. Instantly, wooden fragments flew everywhere.


    "What do you intend to do?" Mat Kun''s heart sank as he stared coldly at Blaze Ash.

 Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Snow Fazlin 2

    Ignoring him as if he didn''t exist, Blaze Ash raised his hand, and a suction force suddenly erupted. Immediately, a dark shadow fell swiftly from the hole he had created, and he caught it in his hand.It was a giant conchs shell, its surface engraved with spiral patterns. It was unmistakably a sound transmitting conchs.


    "A Imperial level sound transmitting snail?"


    Seeing the item in Blaze Ash''s hand, both Met Intan and Sky Rodzi were slightly surprised. Sound transmitting conchs belonged to the sonic type spirit beasts and were not rare. However, those circulating in the market were generally at the warrior level. This was the first time they had seen a Imperial level sound transmitting conch.


    In truth, sonic type spirit beasts were very rare. Besides the sound transmitting conch, many people didn''t even know of the existence of other sonic type spirit beasts.


    Moreover, sound transmitting conchs had a peculiar characteristic: if a higher level conch was present, the lower level ones would be completely suppressed!


    This also explains why such a massive incident happened outside, yet Blaze Ash was completely unaware of it.


    "Mat Kun, could you please explain to me what this is?" Blaze Ash gently raised the sound transmitting conch, his voice laced with a chilling killing intent that made the nearby servants shiver.


    "Master Blaze, are you implying that this sound transmitting conch belongs to me? Do you have any evidence? Falsely accusing someone is not a good habit," Mat Kun replied with a faint smile.


    Met Intan and Sky Rodzi exchanged glances, then returned to their seats, picked up their teacups, and watched the scene with great interest.


    They had long known that the Snow family and the Batas Shop were on good terms. It seemed that these two forces were now joining hands against the Blaze family.


    "Who would have thought that Blaze Ash, known for his stern demeanor, would stoop to lying so easily," Snow Fazlin said, though he was surprised at how Blaze Ash had detected the presence of the sound transmitting conch. At this moment, his heart was filled with joy because the incident outside would lead to the downfall of the Blaze family, potentially even its destruction.


    "Crack!"


    With a cold expression, Blaze Ash crushed the sound transmitting conch into pieces under Mat Kun''s pained gaze. He opened his hand, and the fragments, mixed with white powder, flowed out of his palm.


    "Beep!"


    Just as the Imperial level sound transmitting conch shattered, the sound transmitting conch in Blaze Ash''s Void Realms stone began to ring frantically. The sharp sound echoed through the silent hall.


    "Master, the southern squad outside the city was ambushed. Three spirit warriors were severely injured, and all the goods were destroyed!"


    "Blue Ken, it''s Blue Ken! Master, Blue Ken has attacked us. Captain Blaze Along is critically injured!"


    "Blaze Ash, I was attacked by Snow Azrul and Snow Ahmad. I can hold out for at most another quarter of an hour. If you don''t come now, be prepared to collect my corpse!"


    Hearing the continuous sounds coming from the sound transmitting conch, Blaze Ash''s face grew increasingly grim. When Blaze Ash''s voice echoed, a surge of killing intent flashed rapidly in Blaze Ash''s eyes.


    "Half an hour has already passed..."


    Sky Rodzi rotated the jade ring on his finger and sighed inwardly. The Blaze family was finished.


    Not only Sky Rodzi but also Met Intan had similar thoughts. However, a faint shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes as he glanced at Snow Fazlin. Among the four great families, the Snow and Blaze families were the strongest. With the fall of the Blaze family, the balance of power would be utterly disrupted, potentially igniting countless conflicts.


    "Mat Kun, Snow Fazlin!"


    With a chilling killing intent swirling in his eyes, Blaze Ash curved his two fingers and swiftly struck out. A crimson beam of light tore through the air, speeding toward Snow Fazlin and Mat Kun like lightning.


    A full force strike from a Spirit Lord could easily kill a Imperial level spirit beast!


    The beam whistled toward them, prompting Snow Fazlin to respond immediately. He clenched his fist, and several thick branches rapidly swirled in front of him like a shield, colliding heavily with the beam.


    "Bang!"


    A wave of energy swept through the area, making Mat Kun''s face exceptionally gloomy. "Blaze Ash, do you intend to make an enemy of my Angsana Pavilion?"


    "Hmph, do you think you can represent the entire Angsana Pavilion?"


    Blaze Ash transformed his fingers into a palm, and a fiery summoning array quickly appeared in front of it. Vaguely, a pair of magnificent fire feathers emerged from the array, gently flapping.


    "It''s not the Fire Spirit Lion."


    Met Intan and Sky Rodzi''s eyes narrowed slightly. While the three great families knew each other well, the sudden rise of the Blaze family left them with many questions.


    Today, perhaps Blaze Ash''s trump card would be revealed.


    "Fool, you really fell into the trap. As long as I join forces with Mat Kun, I don''t believe I can''t kill you today. Truly, heaven is helping the Snow family!"


    Feeling excited in his heart, Snow Fazlin watched as two thick branches descended behind him. The massive body connected to the branches had already touched the ceiling of the hall.


    A Lord level spirit beast, the Withered Wood Demon!


    "If that''s the case, then this old man will have to teach you a lesson!"


    Mat Kun knew exactly what Snow Fazlin was thinking, but taking down Blaze Ash would only benefit him. If the Snow family could help the Batas Shop win the Angsana Pavilion Festival, then most of the market share in the city would belong to him!


    "Whoosh!"


    Before Blaze Ash, gigantic fiery feathers fully unfolded. A spirit beast resembling a fire crane flapped its magnificent fire wings, exuding nobility and elegance. Its eyes seemed to look down on everything with disdain.


    "The Fire Spirit Crane?"


    Sky Rodzi and Met Intan''s hands trembled slightly, causing a few drops of tea to spill from their cups. Their eyes were filled with astonishment. Unlike the Withered Wood Demon, the Fire Spirit Crane was born as a high level Spirit Lord, whereas the Withered Wood Demon had been forcibly elevated by Snow Fazlin bit by bit to reach a mid level Spirit Lord.

 Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Snow Fazlin 3

    "Lucky fellow, to have such a rare spirit beast!"A hint of envy flashed through Snow Fazlin''s eyes, and his chilling voice suddenly rang out, "Even if it''s a high level Lord, it doesn''t change the fact that all your clansmen have already been eliminated!"


    "Bang!"


    Just as Snow Fazlin''s voice fell, a massive black shadow smashed through the roof and crashed heavily in front of everyone, causing the entire ground to seem to tremble for a moment.


    A dark figure plummeted to the ground like a meteor, and the solid floor instantly shattered like a spiderweb. When the dust settled, everyone in the hall gasped in shock. At the center of the spreading cracks lay a withered tree demon, its branches mostly destroyed, barely clinging to life. Its only intact branch tightly bound two spiritual masters together.


    And those two spiritual masters were none other than Snow Azrul and Snow Ahmad!


    Staring at the pale faced pair, Snow Fazlin was first stunned andq then quickly turned expressionless, as if unable to believe what he was seeing.q


    In an instant, the previously tense hall fell into a deathly silence.


    Everyone''s gaze slowly shifted upward. On the beam above, a figure in a black robe gently swung his legs, while behind him, a fierce and wild Scorching Flame Cat looked down coldly.


    "Who are you?" Snow Fazlin, the first to react, glared at Blaze Regret with a contorted face, roaring. Behind him, the branches of the withered tree demon extended rapidly, flashing with a sharp light at their tips.


    "Who I am is none of your business," Blaze Regret said as he stroked the Scorching Flame Cat''s fur, his cold gaze fixed directly on Mat Kun. "As a member of the Angsana Pavilion, you conspire with the Snow family and recklessly make enemies with other families. Aren''t you afraid the Angsana Pavilion will hold you accountable?"


    Hearing this, Mat Kun''s expression changed slightly, and he responded coldly, "I don''t care what grudge you have with the Snow family, but to act so brazenly on the territory of the Batas Shop with just a spiritual Imperial''s strength is to completely disregard me."


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret said with a half smile as he looked at Mat Kun. "The voice transmission shell of a Imperial level should have a soul imprint, right? Should I take it to the Angsana Pavilion and have someone authenticate it to see if the Batas Shop will still belong to you?" sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hearing this, Mat Kun was startled, his face fluctuating between different expressions. If the Angsana Pavilion found out about this, his good days would likely be over!


    Gazing at the figure on the beam, Blaze Ash subtly curled his lips, his eyes flickering with thoughts unknown.


    "Let me tell you a story."


    On the beam, Blaze Regret snapped his fingers lightly and smiled at Snow Fazlin. "I injected a strand of spiritual power into the spiritual portals of the two elders from the Snow family. If they don''t receive treatment within half an hour, their spiritual portals might never open again in this lifetime."


    With a face darkened by fury, Snow Fazlin glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. Then, he swiftly grabbed the two elders and dashed out of the hall, his cold voice echoing back.


    "I don''t care who you are. Within three days, I will have your head!"


    Unfazed, Blaze Regret chuckled and then turned his gaze to Mat Kun, his smile completely replaced by coldness.


    "Ahem, an urgent matter has suddenly arisen in my clan. I must take my leave."


    Met Intan and Sky Rodzi had no intention of staying to watch the drama. After a dry cough, they quickly cupped their hands in farewell. Some things are better left unknown.


    "Mat Kun, what exactly is your relationship with the Snow family?"


    After the two had left, Blaze Regret stared at the old man before him, enunciating each word clearly.


    Hearing this, Mat Kun''s gaze sharpened slightly, then he coldly chuckled. "Blaze Ash, after all these years, your nature hasn''t changed a bit."


    Just about to leave, Blaze Regret froze in his tracks. It seemed he had overheard something quite significant.


    With his clawed hand open, crimson spiritual power swirling around his fingertips, Blaze Regret gazed hauntingly at Mat Kun, his eyes resembling a wolf ready to devour its prey.


    "Actually, there''s no real relationship," Mat Kun shrugged and said. "Before coming here, someone approached my subordinates and asked me to cause trouble for the Blaze family. The reward was too generous to refuse."


    Blaze Ash''s eyes suddenly opened wide as he spoke slowly, "No matter how many benefits there are, you need to be alive to enjoy them."


    "If this were a dozen years ago, I wouldn''t dare. But now, it seems you no longer have the ability to threaten me," Mat Kun laughed. "Of course, my main target is still to eliminate Mark. If you''re interested, we can collaborate."


    "Heh, you overestimate me. I don''t have the guts to go against Angsana Pavilion," Blaze Ash shook his head and began to walk slowly towards the door. "However, if there''s a next time, I guarantee that even with the backing of Angsana Pavilion, you won''t see the light of another day."


    As he watched Blaze Ash''s departing figure, Mat Kun interlaced his fingers, his gaze turning icy.


    Sighing regretfully, Blaze Regret quickly grabbed the fur of Red and left the Batas Shop before Mat Kun could turn his attention back.


    Breathing in the fresh air outside the shop, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel his spirits lift.


    "Unfortunately, I didn''t hear the information I wanted," Blaze Regret shook his head.


    "Stop regretting and move quickly. Your Scorching Flame Cat is about to revert to its original form!"


    At this moment, Master Magi''s cold voice echoed from the Void Realm Stone.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret snapped back to reality, breaking into a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran in the direction of his family''s residence.


    However, he had no idea that, at that very moment, a distant figure standing on the back of a Fire Spirit Crane had his hands behind his back, quietly observing him.

 Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Get Out of 1

    Back in his room, after closing the doors and windows, Blaze Regret looked at Red, who had reverted to a high level novice, and couldn''t help but feel a sense of relief."Gurgle!"


    He casually opened the Void Realm Stone, and two spirit cores at the Imperial Master level spun briefly before lying quietly on the table, emitting a gentle glow.


    "Hehe, such a great supplement!"


    With a light laugh, Master Magi burst out from the Void Realm Stone, grabbed a spirit core in each hand, and, like munching on fruit, swallowed both spirit cores in an instant.


    As the two spirit cores disappeared, Master Magi''s body faintly became more solid.


    "Spirit cores are useful to you?"


    Seeing Master Magi patting his stomach in satisfaction, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with joy. If it was just spirit cores, he could easily get his hands on more.


    "They were useful just now. I expended too much spiritual power to enhance your Scorching Flame Cat''s strength, temporarily lowering my rank to imperial Master level, so the spirit cores at this level could barely be of use to me," Master Magi said, glancing at Blaze Regret.


    "And now?" Blaze Regret''s joy instantly dissipated, and he asked nervously.


    "Now, I need spirit cores at the Lord level, and they have to be fresh," Master Magi said teasingly, looking at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret''s lips twitched slightly, and he cursed inwardly. Lord level spirit cores were rare even in the entire Veloria City, and they had to be fresh. This task was as difficult as asking him to refine a third grade pill right now.


    "From now on, your Blaze family will have a hard time," Master Magi shook his head and lay down on the bed, stretching comfortably.


    Blaze Regret remained silent. The Snow family''s actions this time were not ineffective. Although they failed to eliminate the main forces within the family, all the goods they were responsible for transporting were completely destroyed.


    "This is really a big problem now."


    "Hmph, where did this rat come from, daring to spoil the Snow family''s plans!"


    At the head of the hall, Snow Fazlin slammed the table heavily. The dull sound made the already oppressive atmosphere even more stifling.


    "Cough, cough, that guy should not be from Veloria City."


    Leaning weakly against the back of his chair, Snow Azrul spoke with difficulty. Each word he uttered felt like it was tearing his chest apart. Even though he had taken a first grade pill, his injuries wouldn''t fully recover for months.


    Beside Snow Azrul, Snow Ahmad''s face was pale and dazed. Unlike the former, his Earth Splitting Scorpion had been directly torn in half by the Scorching Blaze Cat, losing its life on the spot.


    This meant that although he still had the strength of a spiritual Imperial, he could no longer wield it.


    This was worse than being killed.


    Of course, there was another solution: forming a new spiritual contract. But finding a suitable spirit beast was no easy task.


    "Father, actually, we didn''t come away empty handed this time."


    At this moment, a handsome young man in white, seated to the right of the head of the hall, spoke with a smile, "The First Elder and Second Elder have done enough. The Blaze family''s goods have been destroyed completely. If we spread the news now, within half a month, the Blaze family will be crushed by their creditors."


    Snow Fazlin''s eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, a trace of undisguised coldness flashing in his eyes.


    "Yes, as long as we add a little catalyst, the Blaze family will be doomed!" Snow Azrul clenched his fists, a vicious smile on his face.


    The next morning.


    The news of the Blaze family''s financial troubles spread like wildfire throughout Veloria City.


    "Master, the Pan family has come to demand the deposit paid three months ago."


    In the hall, Blaze Along hurriedly ran in, respectfully handed a folded white paper to Blaze Ash, and said with a bitter smile.


    "Hmph, this is the sixth wave already. These dogs are just fair weather friends. Do they really think my Blaze family has fallen?"


    Sitting in a chair, Blaze Peter angrily gulped down some tea and cursed.


    Casually throwing a gold card to Blaze Along, Blaze Ash glanced at Blaze Regret and softly said, "Did you write it down?" S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Pan family, noted."


    Blaze Regret neatly wrote the two characters in his notebook. If the members of the Pan family saw this scene, they would shiver uncontrollably. Blaze Ash''s vengeful nature was in no way inferior to his strength.


    "We''ve sold everything that can be sold, including the items in the Treasure Pavilion. If this continues, we might have to sell our land next." Blaze Peter listened to the commotion outside the door, his voice somewhat hoarse.


    The lost goods amounted to just over a hundred thousand gold coins. But once the Snow family spread rumors, the families cooperating with the Blaze family swarmed in, fearing they''d lose everything if the Blaze family collapsed.


    "Patriarch, four tenths of the merchants in the market have already left, all moving to the Snow family''s territory." At this moment, another clan member entered the hall, a trace of despair on his face.


    "What are you panicking for? When we first came here, we had nothing. At worst, we''ll start over again." Blaze Ash squinted his eyes and spoke slowly.


    Blaze Peter opened his mouth but could only manage a bitter smile. For the older generation, it didn''t matter much to start over, but it was the young members of the family who would suffer.


    "Heh, it looks like the Blaze family is in quite some trouble this time."


    A loud laugh echoed as Kartis Kai and Ahmad Kamal entered the hall one after the other, their smiles clearly tinged with mockery.


    "Senior Kartis Kai, can your grandson stand up yet?" Blaze Regret looked up, sincerely gazing at Kartis Kai, and asked.


    Upon hearing this, the smile on Kartis Kai''s face instantly froze, replaced by a deep malice. Despite Ahmad Kamal spending a fortune on several pills for Kartis Man, it would still take at least half a year for him to fully recover. Missing out on this golden period of training could result in immeasurable losses.

 Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Get Out 2

    "Speak your piece," Blaze Regret said calmly, eyes closed and head unraised."Hehe, I''ve come to help the Blaze family resolve its crisis. If an alchemist were to step forward, rumors of the Blaze family''s financial troubles would naturally dissipate." Ahmad Kamal sat down boldly beside Blaze Peter, smiling.


    This was no exaggeration. An alchemist''s influence was immense. If Ahmad Kamal intervened, the Blaze family could easily overcome this hardship.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Peter couldn''t help but snicker. He didn''t believe Ahmad Kamal would be so kind, especially considering that a few days ago, Blaze Regret had just beaten his prized apprentice into bedrest.


    "What''s the condition?" Blaze Ash slightly opened his eyes, calmly looking at Ahmad Kamal.


    "Talking to a smart person is refreshing. What I want isn''t particularly valuable. I heard that the head of the Blaze family possesses a rare necklace. Could you bring it out for us to admire?" Ahmad Kamal chuckled, looking expectantly at Blaze Ash.


    "Hand over that necklace, and Master Ahmad Kamal will personally craft thirty pills for you. If needed, I can also help you eliminate the Snow family." Kartis Kai rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement on his face; his goal at the Blaze family''s house was within reach!


    "Get out."


    Blaze Ash''s indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, quietly echoed.


    "Blaze family head, you should think this through." The excitement that had barely surfaced on Ahmad Kamal''s old face froze as his voice turned suddenly sinister.


    Since becoming an alchemist, Blaze Ash was the first to dare tell him to get out!


    "Father, that necklace..." Blaze Regret hesitated.


    "That was your mother''s keepsake."


    With a soft sigh, Blaze Ash spoke quietly, his eyes momentarily dazed as if recalling something.


    Seeing his father suddenly appear much older, Blaze Regret trembled.


    "Blaze family head, don''t regret this!" Ahmad Kamal''s face turned grim.


    Just as Ahmad Kamal began to utter his threat, a fierce gust of wind struck harshly in front of him. An enraged roar followed, making his ears ring.


    "Get out!"


    Maintaining the posture of having thrown something, Blaze Regret glared at Ahmad Kamal with bloodshot eyes, anger bubbling within him.


    If he''d known the status of an alchemist was so useful, he would''ve revealed his trump card right away.


    Damn it, who isn''t an alchemist nowadays?


    Blaze Regret was secretly annoyed. It wasn''t really his fault; he hadn''t fully experienced the influence and authority of an alchemist yet. After all, becoming an alchemist had been surprisingly easy for him.


    "Ahmad Kamal, I''ve always said there are always people better and skies beyond skies. While an alchemist may be precious, the vast Veloria City isn''t home to just one."


    Standing up, Blaze Regret coldly stared at Ahmad kamal, his voice exceptionally icy.


    "You''re not about to claim that you''re an alchemist too, are you?" Ahmad Kamal''s lips curled into an exaggerated sneer, as if he''d just heard the funniest joke in the world.


    "Haha, a sixteen year old alchemist? Blaze Ash, has your son lost his mind?" Kartis Kai also sneered, his eyes full of disdain.


    Do they really think alchemists are so common that anyone can impersonate one?


    "Let me in, I''m not here to collect a debt!"


    At this moment, a commotion erupted outside. The people in the hall turned their gazes towards the source, their brows furrowing slightly.


    Soon after, an old voice, tinged with urgency, echoed into the hall.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, are you here? Park has a question to ask!"


    "Where did this countryside bumpkin come from, causing such a ruckus and breaking the rules?" Hearing the noise from outside the hall, a trace of displeasure flashed in Kartis Kai''s old eyes as he snorted coldly.


    "Who knows, maybe it''s some poor relative of the Blaze family," Ahmad Kamal also sneered sarcastically.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend!"


    Just as Kartis Kai''s voice fell, a figure rushed in hurriedly, scanning around with a particularly nervous look.


    "Master Park Lily?"


    Seeing who it was, Blaze Ash and Blaze Peter both twitched their eyelids, quickly stood up, and cupped their hands in salute. Kartis Kai, however, stood there as if struck by lightning.


    The newcomer turned out to be an alchemist?


    As the top powerhouses in Veloria City, they naturally knew Park Lily very well and were acutely aware of how prestigious an alchemist''s identity was.


    "Park Lily, what are you doing here?" Ahmad Kamal asked, puzzled.


    "None of your damn business!" S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Catching his breath, Park Lily glanced at Ahmad Kamal and turned away in a huff.


    As fellow alchemists, the two naturally had numerous interactions, though they were far from friendly. They had competed for business countless times.


    "Master Blaze, is young friend Blaze Regret here?"


    Seeing Blaze Ash''s confusion, Park Lily scratched his head a bit awkwardly and laughed dryly, his voice tinged with a bit of anxiety.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Ash was momentarily stunned. He then raised his hand and pointed to the thin figure obscured by the crowd.


    Ignoring the astonished gazes around him, Park Lily took out a piece of white paper from his clothing and hastily stuffed it into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "Master Blaze, whether I can break through to a second grade alchemist depends entirely on you!"


    Park Lily said expectantly, "This prescription was a gift from Angsana Pavilion. As long as I can master the method of refining this particular pill, I can easily break through to a second grade alchemist. Unfortunately, I''ve tried dozens of times without success."


    "Park Lily, what are you, crazy?"


    Beside him, Ahmad Kamal looked at Park Lily oddly, somewhat perplexed. This guy must have gone mad from alchemist. How could he seek advice from a young boy on such matters?


    Kartis Kai and the others were equally dumbfounded. Especially Kartis Kao, who, upon realizing Park Lily''s identity, instinctively took a step back. Fortunately, Park Lily did not hold a grudge. Otherwise, even as a member of the Kartis family, publicly insulting an alchemist would have serious consequences.


    "Oh, a Purple Fire Pill?"

 Chapter 60: Chapter 60 Alchemist in Public

    Blaze Regret took the prescription, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice, tinged with surprise, slowly emerged."Purple Fire Pill?"


    Ahmad Kamal''s throat rolled as he stared incredulously at the prescription in Blaze Regret''s hand, feeling deeply shaken.


    The Purple Fire Pill is one of the most difficult first grade pills to refine. Its price rivals that of Earth Flame Pills and other such elixirs. The rarity isn''t due to its ingredients but rather its astonishing effects!


    Among first grade pills, each has different effects. Some can directly elevate the rank of spirit beasts, some can heal them, and some can enhance a spirit master''s spiritual power. The Purple Fire Pill, however, can elevate the rank of an novice level fire attribute spirit beast by an entire grade!


    "He actually showed the prescription to Blaze Regret directly?"


    Ahmad Kamal''s breathing became heavy. If it weren''t for Park Lily''s esteemed status as the exclusive alchemist for the Atlas Trading Company, he would have already taken drastic measures. Everyone knew how valuable a prescription was to an alchemist, and yet Park Lily dared to hand it over to Blaze Regret without reservation!


    "This pill is indeed quite troublesome," Blaze Regret said, massaging his forehead. He then looked at Park Lily, whose body had instantly tensed up, and chuckled lightly. "But it''s not overly difficult."


    "Utter nonsense!" Ahmad Kamal scoffed angrily. "You''re an outsider pretending to be an expert. Do you even understand what a Purple Fire Pill, which elevates the rank of spirit beasts, means? Even I wouldn''t claim to be able to refine it. Where do you get the confidence to say it isn''t difficult?"


    As he looked at the calm expression on Blaze Regret''s face, Kartis Kai suddenly felt a twinge of unease. Could this guy really be an alchemist? But a sixteen year old alchemist? How could that be possible!


    Just as Park Lily was about to reprimand Ahmad Kamal, Blaze Regret waved his hand and smiled faintly. "Ahmad Kamal, your intelligence is really lacking. If I didn''t have the ability to refine this pill, do you think Master Park Lily would personally come to ask me?"


    Park Lily''s eyes flashed with gratitude. Blaze Regret had used the word "ask" instead of "seek advice," respecting the pride and dignity that alchemists held dear.


    "Who knows what got into that old man''s head. Maybe his brain really got fried from all the alchemist," Ahmad Kamal muttered. Despite sensing something amiss, his attitude remained defiant. Even if Blaze Regret was an alchemist, Ahmad Kamal refused to believe he could successfully refine the Purple Fire Pill.


    "Stubborn as a mule," Blaze Regret shook his head and laughed softly. "Master Park Lily, please prepare two sets of materials for refining this pill. Second Elder, spread the word. This afternoon, I will open the cauldron and refine the pill in front of the Blaze family''s main gate."


    Upon hearing this, Park Lily''s eyes were filled with intense joy, while Blaze Peter felt a bit dizzy. When did this little guy in his eyes become an alchemist?


    "Two sets, indeed an amateur," Ahmad kamal laughed loudly.


    Even an alchemist who had successfully refined the Purple Fire Pill before wouldn''t dare to guarantee a high success rate on subsequent attempts. For a pill of this complexity, even five sets of materials might not yield a single pill, yet Blaze Regret planned to prepare only two sets?


    "Blaze Regret, aren''t you being a bit too hasty?" Park Lily asked cautiously.


    "Two sets are enough," Blaze Regret said, holding the prescription as he slowly walked out of the hall, completely ignoring the numerous eyes gathering behind him.


    "Blaze Ash, are you really going to spread the news?" Blaze Peter looked at Blaze Ash with a wry smile. If Blaze Regret failed, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the Blaze family. But if he succeeded...


    How could he possibly succeed?


    Ahmad Kamal and Kartis Kai sat on their chairs, eyes slightly closed, full of disdain. This afternoon, they eagerly awaited Blaze Regret''s embarrassment.


    "Whoosh!"


    Blaze Ash stretched out his hand, and a suction force brought the notebook Blaze Regret had thrown earlier back into his grasp. He then tossed it to Blaze Peter. "Inform all the families on the list. Oh, and invite Mark from the Atlas Trading Company as well. He borrowed a hundred thousand gold coins from me last night in a personal capacity; let''s invite him too."


    "Got it!"


    After a moment of hesitation, Blaze Peter nodded firmly and turned to walk out of the hall, summoning several young clan members with a wave of his hand.


    That day, countless families in Veloria City received the news immediately: Blaze Ash''s son, Blaze Regret, was going to publicly refine a pill at the Blaze family''s gate!


    In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar.


    "Master Sun, what do you think about this matter?"


    After sending off the messenger from the Blaze family, Pan Kan, the head of the Pan family, slightly tilted his head and looked at a middle aged man sitting and drinking tea. He spoke in a deep voice.


    The middle aged man was Sun Mek, the current head of the Sun family. Although his family''s wealth wasn''t as great as the Blaze family''s, they were still quite well known in Veloria City. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gently placing down his teacup, Sun Mek couldn''t help but smile. "It''s just a desperate struggle. If Blaze Regret was really an alchemist, how could we not have heard about it? Just wait, we''ll see the truth this afternoon."


    "You''re right. Who knows what tricks Blaze Ash will come up with to buy time. Let''s see how the Blaze family embarrasses themselves this time." Pan Kan sneered, crumpling the paper in his hand into a ball.


    In Veloria City, the Pan family, the Sun family, and the Bun family cooperated most frequently with the Blaze family. After the Blaze family encountered troubles, the other two naturally chose to defect and align with the Snow family.


    "Master Bun, what is your decision?" Sun Mek looked at the only silent middle aged man in the room and smiled.


    Upon hearing this, Bun Pitar, the head of the Bun family, shook his head with a bitter smile. During his most difficult times, it was Blaze Ash who had helped him, so no matter what, he wouldn''t kick the Blaze family when they were down.

 Chapter 61: Chapter 61 The Bet 1

    "Masters, I must take my leave."Standing up, Bun Pitar cupped his hands toward the two men before turning and walking out the door without looking back.


    "Fool."


    After a long while, Pan Kan slowly spat out a word, a cold smile appearing on his face. "After this matter is over, the Bun family''s assets will definitely be reduced by half. At that time, the ranks of third rate families will have another member."


    "A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Bun Pitar, you are foolish."


    Sun Mek shook his head while laughing, seemingly pitying the Bun family. He felt as if he could already see the Bun family''s decline.


    In front of a wide road stood a grand mansion, towering majestically. The large characters "Blaze Family" on the plaque proclaimed the mansion''s status.


    Although the family living in the mansion isn''t doing well at the moment, it doesn''t stop passersby from casting respectful glances. This is because a Spirit Lord level expert is guarding the mansion!


    At this time, a large crowd had gathered in front of the mansion''s usually quiet entrance, whispering among themselves.


    "I heard the Blaze family''s master''s son is an alchemist. Is that true?"


    "I don''t know, but if he''s daring enough to make pills in public, it should be true."


    "Heh, some people actually believe that? I think it''s just a stalling tactic. The Blaze family master is probably scrambling to raise funds right now. Otherwise, how could the Blaze family have lasted this long?"


    The crowd of spirit practitioners buzzed with excitement, some even getting into heated arguments and fighting, only to be unceremoniously thrown out by the Blaze family''s enforcement team.


    "Master Ahmad Kamal!"


    At this moment, an elderly man in an alchemist''s robe emerged from the Blaze family gate, causing a wave of exclamations.


    "Master Park Lily is here too!"


    To ordinary spirit practitioners, alchemists are revered figures, rarely seen. But today, two had appeared at once!


    Instantly, the murmurs turned into a clamor.


    "Grandfather, why hasn''t that brat Blaze Regret come out yet? Could he have run away?"


    Kartis Man, lying on his Thunder Beast, scanned the surroundings with a sinister gaze. He had gotten out of bed just to see Blaze Regret''s downfall. A mere member of a minor family daring to call himself an alchemist was utterly laughable!


    "Quiet, the Blaze family master is here."


    A commanding figure appeared, and the chatter in the crowd immediately dissipated.


    "Blaze Ash, where''s your son?" Kartis Kai asked, a faint smile playing on his lips as he looked at Blaze Ash standing at the entrance.


    "Why are you looking for me? Do you know me that well?"


    Just as Kartis Kai finished speaking, Blaze Regret emerged with a broad smile on his face. He glanced at Kartis Man, who was sitting on the Thunder Beast, and his smile grew even wider.


    "What are you smiling at? Let''s see if you can still smile once you''re exposed!" Kartis Man sneered.


    Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently and walked slowly to the center of the crowd. The surrounding spirit practitioners immediately retreated a few steps, leaving a spacious area in the middle.


    He raised his head slightly, his eyes sweeping slowly around the area. Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on a distant pavilion, where three exceptionally powerful auras were present.


    "It''s really lively. The identity of an alchemist is indeed terrifying. Just a hint of news has gathered half of the Spirit Lord experts in Veloria City," Blaze Regret thought to himself.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, here are the alchemist furnace and the herbs prepared for you."


    Seeing Blaze Regret appear, Park Lily quickly retrieved the items from his Void Realms stone and handed them to Blaze Regret.


    "Am I seeing this right? Master Park Lily is personally handing something to Blaze Regret!"


    This scene caused a spirit practitioner to exclaim in surprise, while the others had a glint in their eyes, realizing that today''s event was indeed extraordinary.


    "Getting more and more disgraceful."


    Ahmad Kamal, however, curled his lip disdainfully. For a dignified first grade alchemist to be so courteous to a junior was truly beneath him!


    "Master Ahmad Kamal, how about we make a bet?" Blaze Regret gently caressed the alchemist furnace given to him by Park Lily, smiling as he looked at Ahmad Kamal.


    "What are we betting on?" Ahmad Kamal frowned, suppressing his irritation, and asked.


    "I heard you have a recipe for the Qi Returning Pill. If I win, you''ll give that recipe to me. How about it?"


    "And if you lose?" Ahmad Kamal sneered.


    "I''ll give you the recipes for the Earth Flame Pill and the Wood Separation Pill," Blaze Regret said, lightly tapping his Void Realms stone. Two pill recipes appeared in his hand, which he waved gently.


    "Are you serious?" A glint of greed flashed in Ahmad Kamal''s eyes as he smirked sinisterly. "Then it''s a deal!"


    Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, his eyes lowering slightly as his expression grew more serious.


    Apart from the time he refined the Void Soul Pill, he had always relied on Master Mo''s simulated alchemy furnace, which consumed very little spiritual and mental energy. This time, however, he would have to rely on his own strength to refine one of the most difficult first grade pills.


    "Let''s do this!"


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret lightly tapped the alchemy furnace. A crimson flame slowly spread at the bottom of the furnace, and the surrounding spirit practitioners all had a look of surprise in their eyes.


    This Blaze Regret actually knows how to refine pills?


    "Pill fire, how is that possible?"


    Kartis Man''s throat felt choked, but his gaze at Blaze Regret was filled with intense jealousy and resentment. Even if Blaze Regret was truly an alchemist, Kartis Man refused to believe he could successfully refine the Purple Fire Pill!

    "This temperature..."


    Beside him, Ahmad Kamal''s face was also unusually stiff. He couldn''t believe that a sixteen year old boy was actually an alchemist!


    As an alchemist himself, Ahmad Kamal naturally understood how difficult this field was. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be just a handful of alchemists in the entire Veloria City!


    "Interesting."


    On the pavilion, Met Intan and Sky Rodzi both nodded, their eyes gleaming with interest. Meanwhile, Snow Fazlin''s face was extremely gloomy, and the teacup in his hand had already cracked, with water dripping to the ground unnoticed.

 Chapter 62: Chapter 62 The Bet 2

    The temperature of the alchemist furnace continued to rise. In Blaze Regret''s world at this moment, it seemed as if only this furnace existed, with even the faint breathing sounds around him completely blocked out.The Purple Fire Pill requires ingredients like Amber Leaf, Wind Tail Grass, and Fire Crow Blood. In addition, it also needs a fire attribute spiritual core of the Imperial level.


    "Ding!"


    The fire attribute spiritual core entered the furnace, making a crisp sound. However, as soon as Blaze Regret poured in a blue liquid, it began to melt.


    This blue liquid is extracted from the stomach fluid of the Blue Lizard and is essential for dissolving the spiritual core. Without it, who knows how much effort it would take to melt the core.


    With his eyes slightly narrowed, Blaze Regret extended his palm. A bright red alchemist flame quietly rose, leaping up like a cheerful sprite.


    "Go!"


    With a light wave of his hand, the flame traced a beautiful arc and fell into the furnace, quickly merging with the liquid spiritual core, seemingly wrapping around it.


    "Something''s wrong."


    Just as he was about to add the Amber Leaf, Blaze Regret suddenly shook his head. Amber Leaf is a pure wood type medicinal herb, and if added at this moment, it would surely be burned to ashes.


    After acquiring the Medicine Emperor''s Seed, the Medicine Emperor''s alchemist experience was clearly presented in his mind.


    Seeing Blaze Regret retract his hand, Park Lily couldn''t help but nod secretly. He had failed countless times at this step, and it seemed today''s decision to seek out Blaze Regret was absolutely correct.


    Unlike Park Lily, Ahmad Kamal''s eyes were venomous, and in his heart, he kept praying for Blaze Regret''s failure.


    "I know the purpose of Fire Crow Blood, but what about Wind Tail Grass?"


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Then, to Park Lily''s astonishment, he directly threw the Wind Tail Grass into the furnace.


    "No..." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Park Lily was just about to speak when he saw, to his disbelief, that the Wind Tail Grass, after being burned, transformed into a whirlwind. This whirlwind, swirling with flames and red liquid, quickly dissipated much of the violent fire attribute energy.


    "As expected, the purpose of the Wind Tail Grass is to reduce the fire attribute energy. Otherwise, the main ingredient, Amber Leaf, could not be added at all."


    Mumbling softly, Blaze Regret added another stalk of Wind Tail Grass. The fire attribute energy in the furnace finally became gentle. If someone were to touch it, they would find it as comfortable as warm water.


    "It''s time to adjust the temperature," Park Lily and Ahmad Kamal both thought as they watched the furnace.


    As Blaze Regret adjusted the temperature, time quietly passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.


    This is the most tedious part of alchemist the process is monotonous and time consuming, making it unbearable for those without strong determination.


    "It''s time for the final step."


    Blaze Regret was extremely tense. He added the Amber Leaf and Fire Crow Blood simultaneously, and they both melted into liquid, forming a Taiji like pattern that continuously rotated around the flame wrapped spiritual core.


    "Fail, fail!"


    Ahmad Kamal swallowed hard, his hand tightly clenched. Beside him, Kartis Kai and Kartis Man were also cursing inwardly.


    "Hopefully, the furnace will explode and kill him directly!"


    Kartis Kai clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with a sinister light. When he saw the liquid in the furnace gradually stabilizing, he made a ruthless decision and slapped the Demon Thunder Colt hard.


    "Neigh!"


    In pain, the Demon Thunder Colt let out a loud cry, its voice sweeping across the surroundings like a tidal wave, causing all the spiritual beasts in the area to crouch down, trembling.


    "Not good!"


    Blaze Ash and Park Lily''s expressions changed drastically, especially Blaze Ash, who quickly released the Fire Spirit Crane. The crane''s wings spread like fans, emitting a fiery red spiritual light, attempting to block the sound waves.


    However, even though the Fire Spirit Crane blocked most of the sound waves, Blaze Regret, who was in the middle of a critical step, was still disturbed.


    "Ugh!"


    A flush of red surged to Blaze Regret''s face. He felt a sweetness in his throat and couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell into the furnace, mixing with the liquid inside.


    At the moment his hand shook, cracks rapidly appeared on the furnace, soon covering its entire surface.


    "Crack!"


    As if it could no longer withstand the pressure, the furnace suddenly split open and exploded with a loud bang. Sharp fragments, like blades, penetrated Blaze Regret''s body without any resistance, staining his robe with streaks of blood.


    Under normal circumstances, the Yang Flame Shield could easily block these fragments, but Blaze Regret''s full attention was on the nearly solidified elixir, leaving no room to protect himself.


    "Kartis Man, you''re courting death!"


    Blaze Peter''s eyes were filled with rage, and Blaze Ash''s face was covered with a cold expression. If not for the fear that acting now would put Blaze Regret in an even more vulnerable position, they would have already taken action to eliminate Kartis Man!


    "Heh, if you can''t even withstand this little bit of interference, what kind of alchemist are you trying to be?"


    Kartis Man sneered arrogantly. He was confident that no one would dare take action against him, which is why he acted so recklessly. He only felt a bit disappointed that the explosion of the furnace hadn''t backfired enough to kill Blaze Regret.


    "I don''t care who you are. If you dare to do this again, I swear in the name of Angsana Pavilion, we will fight to the death!"


    Park Lily was also extremely furious. He looked at Kartis Man with a cold and menacing gaze.


    Kartis Man was about to retort, but seeing the warning look in Kartis Kai''s eyes, he could only sheepishly close his mouth. Although a first grade alchemist wouldn''t be a significant threat to the Kartis family, the Angsana Pavilion behind him was something even the Kartis family had to consider carefully.

 Chapter 63: Chapter 63 The Bet 3

    "Cough, cough!"With a light cough, a trace of blood uncontrollably seeped from the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth. He pressed his lips tightly together. In his palm, a perfectly round elixir was spinning quickly, solidifying as the flames dissipated.


    "Solidify for me!"


    Blaze Regret changed his hand sign, and the round elixir finally stopped spinning. A rich medicinal fragrance, mixed with a faint fiery scent, filled the surroundings.


    "Whoosh!"


    The elixir shot up into the air, and Blaze Regret caught it with one hand. He let out a relieved sigh, then turned to Park Lily, opened his palm, and smiled, "Task accomplished."


    "How is that possible!"


    Ahmad Kamal stared intently at the Purple Fire Pill in Blaze Regret''s hand, filled with disbelief. Even he couldn''t refine such a pill, yet Blaze Regret managed to succeed despite being interfered with!


    What was even more astonishing was that Blaze Regret was only a sixteen year old boy!


    This blow was enough to potentially crush his spirit.


    "It''s really a Purple Fire Pill!"


    Park Lily took the pill, sniffed it lightly, and gratefully clasped his hands in salute to Blaze Regret. "Young friend Blaze Regret, thank you so much. Watching you today has been immensely beneficial to me. In the future, if you ever need anything, even if it costs me my old bones, I will make sure it gets done!"


    "I gained the recipe for the Purple Fire Pill, so it was worth it," Blaze Regret said with a smile. However, as he smiled, a trickle of bright red blood uncontrollably flowed from the corner of his mouth.


    "He actually succeeded!"


    The numerous onlookers were all in shock as they watched Blaze Regret. Their gazes towards Blaze Ash were now filled with envy and awe. This was a genuine alchemist, and his alchemy skills were no less than those of Park Lily!


    It was foreseeable that the Blaze family would flourish greatly in the future!


    "Master Ahmad Kamal, isn''t it time to fulfill our agreement?" Blaze Regret slightly turned around and looked at the dazed Ahmad Kamal, smiling while unceremoniously extending his hand in front of the latter.


    The sudden shadow in front of him made the despondent Ahmad Kamal shiver. He raised his head, repeatedly muttering, "Impossible, impossible, you''re just a spiritual novice, how could you possibly refine the Purple Fire Pill..."


    That day, when he first saw Blaze Regret, he felt disdain for the latter''s words, not even bothering to lift his head. But in the blink of an eye, the existence he had thought of as an ant had already brushed past him and even quietly surpassed him.


    "I''ve told you before, the tea of the Blaze family is not something you can spit out. Hand over the recipe for the Qi Recovery Pill, and you can leave." Blaze Regret''s voice remained incomparably calm, but anyone could hear the coldness within it.


    "Hehe, Blaze Ash, you have truly raised a good son."


    With a bitter smile, Ahmad Kamal took out the recipe for the Qi Recovery Pill from his robe and placed it in Blaze Regret''s hand. With a face like ash, he slowly walked towards the distant road, ignoring Kartis Man''s calls.


    "Without a firm mind, no wonder he could only remain a first grade alchemist for life."


    Placing the Qi Recovery Pill recipe into the Void Realms stone, Blaze Regret shook his head internally. Compared to Park Lily, Ahmad Kamal was far inferior. When Park Lily faced setbacks, his first thought was to remedy them, which was why he was now about to break through to a second grade alchemist. Ahmad Kamal, on the other hand, chose to give up on himself.


    Sweeping a glance at the already vanished figure on the distant pavilion, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Kartis Man, approaching step by step: "Your character is really despicable!" sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    When an alchemist is refining pills, the greatest taboo is being disturbed. At best, the pills are ruined; at worst, the alchemist dies on the spot! And Kartis Man obviously had the intention of killing him, which is why he forcefully struck the Thunder Beast!


    "Don''t come any closer, if you dare take another step, I''ll have the Thunder Beast kill you!"


    As Blaze Regret approached step by step, fear involuntarily appeared in Kartis Man''s eyes, but his words were still filled with threats.


    "Kneel before me!"


    Blaze Ash shouted coldly, and the Fire Spirit Crane''s wings suddenly spread wide. Its pitch black eyes stared sharply at the Thunder Beast, and a terrifying pressure made the Thunder Beast immediately crouch down, trembling like a small animal.


    Though the Thunder Beast was indeed a lord level spirit beast, its power was vastly inferior to that of the Fire Spirit Crane. The difference between the two was like that between a ninth grade Scorching Flame Cat and a fourth grade Thunder Mouse!


    "Since you still have a hand that can move, I might as well cripple it today."


    With a swift movement, Blaze Regret appeared in front of Kartis Man. His right hand rose, and his fingers, glowing with a fiery red light, thrust forward like a spear.


    "How dare you!"


    Kartis Kai shouted angrily and was about to command the Thunder Beast to attack Blaze Regret when he suddenly felt a cold, gleaming blade pressed against his neck!


    Turning his head with great difficulty, Kartis Kai was shocked to find that behind him was a lord level Steel Armored Rat!


    The Steel Armored Rat stood upright like a human, its skin resembling black steel armor, indestructible. Its claws were about a foot long, as sharp as blades.


    "I''d advise you not to move while young friend Blaze Regret is handling his business," Park Lily said with a smile.


    His own strength was only that of an eighth grade spirit warrior, but by chance, he had once saved an injured Steel Armored Rat. Since then, the Steel Armored Rat had stayed by his side.


    Of course, his spirit Portal couldn''t withstand the Steel Armored Rat''s spirit power for long. Generally, the Steel Armored Rat would remain hidden underground, only emerging at critical moments to lend a hand.

 Chapter 64: Chapter 64 The Bet 4

    "Slash!"In Kartis Kai''s resentful gaze, Blaze Regret''s Sun Fire fingers pierced through Kartis Man''s wrist, and immediately, a piercing scream echoed throughout the scene.


    "First time using it, and the power is not bad," Blaze Regret said calmly, gently retracting his fingers.


    "Swish!"


    At the same time, the Steel Armored Rat instantly returned to Park Lily''s side, its expression calm. Standing upright, it was even taller than Park Lily.


    "Hehe, Master Blaze, I apologize for the disturbance today. I, Bot, will take my leave now."


    Amid the crowd, someone chuckled awkwardly and cupped his hands in a polite gesture before turning to leave.


    He had some cooperation with the Blaze family and had rushed over upon hearing rumors of their impending bankruptcy. But to his surprise, the young master of the Blaze family was actually an alchemist!


    With an alchemist backing them, bankruptcy? Who would believe that!


    "Don''t be in such a hurry to leave."


    Blaze Ash suddenly laughed. His gentle laughter made the man named Bot feel as if he was under a spell, freezing him in place, unable to move.


    "Here is the cooperation agreement we signed a few days ago, along with the deposit," Blaze Peter said with a smile, walking up to the man and handing over the items.


    Instantly, the man named Bot began to sweat profusely.


    "Inform the merchants who are still in the market that there will be no rent for the next three years. Oh, and as for the Ban family, they will receive a 20% share of the business outside the city."


    Turning around and walking back inside, Blaze Ash spoke slowly and methodically.


    "Three years of free rent!"


    Many people were struck as if by lightning, unable to believe it. The rent for three years was an unimaginably huge sum!


    But more people showed expressions of joy. These were the ones who had stayed in the market. At this moment, they suddenly realized how wise their decision had been.


    Of course, there were also quite a few people whose faces looked ashen, as if the prize they had been so close to grasping had suddenly slipped away.


    "Hehe, I bet Blaze Ash''s face must be darker than the bottom of a pot right now."


    In the Pan family residence, Pan kan gently stroked a white feathered cat lying on his lap, a playful smile on his face.


    "Compared to Blaze Ash, I''m more interested in Ban Pitar right now."


    Sun Mek shook his head with a smile, his face full of satisfaction. He was on a different level compared to Blaze Ash, so he didn''t feel much about Blaze''s situation. It was Ban Pitar, who was on the same level as him, that caught his attention.


    "That old guy will die from his stubbornness sooner or later."


    Pan Kan sneered, his face full of pride, as if falling out with the Blaze family from the start had been the right decision all along.


    "What? That''s impossible!"


    Suddenly, a voice full of shock and doubt came from outside the door.


    "Pan Dek, why are you shouting? What''s the big deal?"


    Although he said this, Pan Kan was secretly delighted, guessing that Pan Dek had probably learned that the Blaze family''s delay tactics had failed and they had gone bankrupt.


    "Master, bad news!" Pan Dek ran in, his face as dark as liver.


    "What happened?" Sun Mek looked at Pan Dek with a smile.


    Pan Dek struggled to catch his breath and said with difficulty, "That Blaze Regret turned out to be an alchemist and even managed to refine the Purple Fire Pill!"


    "What?" Pan Kan shuddered, gripping the white feathered cat on his lap so tightly that it cried out in pain.


    "Are you sure?" Sun Mek also stood up abruptly, glaring at Pan Dek with a fierce look.


    "Absolutely sure. The news is spreading all over the city, and Blaze Ash has even given the Ban family a 20% share of the business," Pan Dek said bitterly.


    "It''s over, it''s all over..."


    Pan Kan and Sun Mek both collapsed into their chairs, their faces blank and dazed, as if struck by lightning. A sense of despair washed over them.


    They could already imagine the terrifying revenge that the Blaze family would unleash in the future!


    In a quiet room, two wooden tubs, one large and one small, were placed on the floor. Blaze Regret and Red were soaking in each of the tubs, their arms lazily draped over the edges, their eyes half closed, looking extremely comfortable.


    "Ugh~"


    Red lifted its eyelids slightly, glanced at Blaze Regret, twitched its little ears, and then continued to feign sleep.


    "Phew, this spirit liquid is indeed quite effective." sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret looked down to check the injury on his chest and let out a long breath, but then he smiled bitterly.


    As expected, without the help of the simulated alchemist cauldron, the mental energy required to refine a single pill was enormous. He had been soaking in the tub for three whole days just to barely recover.


    Thankfully, Park Lily knew how to handle things well. He stayed up all night to refine dozens of bottles of spirit liquid and sent them over. This allowed Blaze Regret''s body, which had been severely injured by the broken cauldron, to begin recovering at an impressive speed.


    "Probably in another day, your Scorching Flame Cat will be able to break through to the eighth tier."


    Master Magi suddenly floated into the air, flipping through some yellowed ancient texts without looking up.


    Nodding, Blaze Regret shifted his body and, feeling a bit more comfortable, drifted off to sleep.


    Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the window, casting dappled shadows of leaves on the floor, making the whole room feel incredibly cozy.


    "Young Master Blaze, the Master of the Blaze family requests your presence in the main hall."


    As soon as Blaze Regret opened his eyes, an unfamiliar, crisp voice suddenly called out.


    Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, Blaze Regret opened the door to find a young girl in a green dress standing respectfully in front of it.


    "Who are you?" Blaze Regret asked hesitantly.


    "I am a maid from the Atlas Shop, sent by Mr. Mark," the young girl replied, keeping her head lowered, not daring to meet Blaze Regret''s gaze.

 Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Angsana Auction House 1

    Blaze Regret then learned that the Blaze family had established a partnership with Atlas Shop. Not only were their businesses interconnected, but even their staff had started to mingle."It seems a lot has happened these past few days," Blaze Regret mused.


    He smiled and nodded at the maid before heading towards the reception hall, with Red running alongside him.


    "Such a young alchemist¡­"


    Watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, the green clad maid''s cheeks flushed with a hint of red. She then quickly followed him, startled by her own reaction.


    "Ha ha, thanks to Blaze Regret, my Atlas Shop''s only alchemist has been poached by the Blaze family."


    As soon as he reached the main gate, a hearty laugh echoed around him.


    Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled, knowing instantly that the voice belonged to none other than Mark.


    "Father, Manager Mark!"


    Quickly stepping into the hall, Blaze Regret bowed respectfully to the two seated men. He then glanced at Park Lily and exclaimed in surprise, "A second grade alchemist?"


    "Ha ha, I have you to thank for that," Park Lily said with a smile and a nod.


    Ever since becoming a second grade alchemist, he had received benefits beyond the wildest dreams of a first grade alchemist. The Angsana Pavillion behind him not only provided him with three second grade pill recipes but also a large quantity of precious medicinal herbs.


    Interestingly, neither Blaze Ash nor Park Lily inquired about the sudden emergence of Blaze Regret as an alchemist. It seemed they both tacitly agreed not to pry into his affairs.


    Everyone has their own secrets, even they do.


    "Manager Mark, you must be here for the Angsana Pavilion Festival, right?" Blaze Regret said with a smile as he sat down beside Blaze Ash, following his cue.


    "Indeed," Mark''s expression suddenly turned serious. "But that''s not the only reason."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret looked at Blaze Ash in surprise.


    "We just received news that Angsana Auction House will be auctioning a batch of items in three days, one of which might be related to the Angsana Pavilion Festival," Blaze Ash said in a deep voice.


    Angsana Auction House is a collective name for all the auction houses under Angsana Pavillion. Every city has a Angsana Auction House, where rare and hard to find items are put up for auction. These can range from precious spiritual herbs to rare spiritual beasts and all sorts of peculiar things.


    "Have the participants been decided?" Blaze Regret nodded and then turned his dark eyes towards Mark.


    "Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul from the Lu family, and the last one is you," Mark replied.


    "Three people, huh?" Blaze Regret pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.


    There are three factions participating in the Angsana Pavilion Festival, meaning nine people will take part in this event.


    "But Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul from the Sky family are both ninth tier spiritual novice," Blaze Regret said, tapping his head and sighing lightly.


    "You managed to defeat Kartis Man, a ninth tier spiritual novice, when you were only a seventh tier spiritual novice. Now that you''ve advanced to the eighth tier, I believe Atlas Shop''s chances of winning this time are quite high," Mark said with a smile.

    "I''m just afraid that someone won''t play by the rules," Blaze Ash said grimly.


    Hearing this, Mark nodded in agreement. If the other two shops brought in outsiders, the advantage held by Atlas Shop could be instantly shattered.


    "Forget it, we''ll take it one step at a time. For now, let''s focus on securing the items from Angsana Auction House," a glint of determination flashed in Blaze Ash''s eyes.


    After Mark took his leave, the Blaze family immediately became busy again.


    "Luckily, we have the support of Park Lily and Mark. Otherwise, the Blaze family, having just suffered a huge setback, would only be able to watch helplessly at the auction," Blaze Ash remarked as he and Blaze Regret stood in front of Angsana Auction House a few hours later.


    In Veloria City, when it comes to wealth, no family can compare to Angsana Auction House. Even the three major shops fall short by a significant margin. This place is the foundation of Angsana Pavillion in the city!


    As soon as Blaze Ash and his group appeared, a maid quickly came to greet them. These maids were well acquainted with the city''s famous figures.


    Led by the maid, the Blaze family members took one of the front seats.


    "Well, well, isn''t this Blaze Ash? I didn''t expect your family to still be around," a harsh voice suddenly came from the right just as they sat down.


    Blaze Regret frowned and looked over, seeing a middle aged man tilting his head and cleaning his ear with a playful smile on his face.


    This person was none other than Snow Fazlin, the head of the Snow family!


    "Whether we exist or not, what does it have to do with you?" Blaze Peter sneered. "With two alchemists in the Blaze family, I wonder how many more years your Snow family can stay smug."


    A slight tremor ran through his palm, and Snow Fazlin''s face turned grim instantly. His slightly lowered eyes brimmed with murderous intent.


    Ever since he learned that Blaze Regret was an alchemist, he hadn''t had a good night''s sleep.


    "Perhaps it won''t be long before the Blaze family''s two alchemists become just one," said the young man in white beside Snow Fazlin, staring at Blaze Regret with a smile that was far from comforting.


    "That man is Snow Amar, Snow Feng''s older brother," Blaze Peter began introducing the key figures to Blaze Regret. "Over there is Met Intan, the head of the Met family, and beside him are the three Met brothers. Each one is said to be a ninth level spiritual novice."


    Blaze Regret nodded, recognizing some of the younger generation in Veloria City.


    "Sitting at the northernmost area is Sky Rodzi from the Sky family. The girl talking to him is Sky Diana. Her beauty is far more renowned than her strength," Blaze Peter chuckled.


    "Such conduct unbecoming of his age!" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes.


    "The auction is about to start," Blaze Ash, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. Instantly, the surrounding chatter grew louder in anticipation.

 Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Angsana Auction House 2

    "Welcome everyone to the Angsana Auction House. Today''s auction will be hosted by me, Alif Azlin."With a crisp voice, a woman clad in a fiery red cheongsam gracefully stepped onto the jade platform at the front, casting a charming smile at the audience below.


    The moment Alif Azlin appeared, she instantly attracted numerous gazes filled with warmth and admiration.


    Alif Azlin, the chief auctioneer of the Angsana Auction House, was as renowned in Veloria City as people like Blaze Ash. However, her fame was more associated with her allure, with many willing to spend a fortune just to catch a fleeting glimpse of her charm.


    Once Alif Azlin stood in the center of the jade platform, a crack suddenly appeared on the jade floor in front of her. The crack widened, and a glass counter slowly rose from below.


    Within the glass counter was a crystal clear sphere, containing a small green figure darting about like a lizard, except its eyes were blue.


    "Let''s start the auction with the first item, the Blue eyed Lizard!"


    Alif Azlin announced with a smile, "This Blue eyed Lizard was recently discovered by the Blue Blade Hunting Group in the Spirit Beast Forest. Its natural rank is mid level warrior, and it has now advanced to high level. The starting bid is forty thousand gold coins!"


    Alif Azlin''s explanation unsurprisingly caused a stir. The Blue eyed Lizard was somewhat famous among poison type spirit beasts but was extremely rare. As soon as it appeared, many faces showed expressions of surprise.


    "A poison type spirit beast?" Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed.


    Poison type spirit beasts generally only interested poison type spirit masters. Although there were no restrictions on spirit contracts, having diverse spirit beast attributes within one''s spirit portal could lead to chaotic spirit energy, significantly impacting the spirit master''s power.


    Therefore, no spirit master would willingly engage in such a thankless task.


    Moreover, poison type spirit masters were quite rare.


    As expected, after the initial commotion, only two people competed for the price, and the Blue eyed Lizard was eventually sold for forty three thousand gold coins.


    "The Angsana Auction House is showing off its strength," someone remarked.


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly. To start with a spirit beast naturally at mid level Warrior rank indeed showcased the strength of Veloria City''s largest auction house.


    After the Blue eyed Lizard set the stage, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly lively, with items being auctioned off rapidly.


    "There are many items, but none are useful to me."


    Yawning out of boredom, Blaze Regret patted the head of the Red in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.


    "Now, we will auction the thirteenth item, a mid level warrior rank spirit crystal, Moye Light, starting at thirty thousand gold coins!"


    As Alif Azlin''s enchanting voice fell, the room erupted with excitement, and whispers of anticipation echoed throughout the crowd.


    "A mid level warrior rank spirit crystal?"


    Blaze Regret was momentarily taken aback, then slightly annoyed. If it were a fire attribute spirit crystal, he would bid on it no matter the cost, but Moye Light was clearly a wood attribute spirit crystal.


    "Not good!" He suddenly realized.


    As expected, Snow Amar beside Snow Fazlin initially froze, then his eyes lit up with joy. "Thirty one thousand!" sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With Snow Amar''s bid, several others who had intended to bid immediately backed down, their faces full of reluctance.


    If it weren''t for Snow Fazlin, they might have competed, but their power was far inferior to the Snow family.


    Seeing this, Alif Azlin''s delicate brows furrowed slightly, though imperceptibly.


    The higher the auction prices, the more commission she would receive, so she naturally disliked such situations.


    "Thirty one thousand going once!"


    "Thirty one thousand going twice!"


    "Thirty five thousand!"


    Just as Alif Azlin was inwardly smiling bitterly, Blaze Regret, who had been pretending to nap, suddenly smiled and called out a price.


    "Are you crazy? You''re not even a wood attribute spiritualist. Competing with me, what''s the point?" Alif Azlin''s face changed dramatically, and he angrily shouted at Blaze Regret.


    "I just feel like it. Got a problem?" Blaze Regret tilted his head, his expression playful.


    "Forty thousand!" Snow Amar turned his head and shouted harshly.


    "Forty five thousand."


    "Fifty thousand!"


    "Fifty five thousand."


    "Sixty thousand!"


    "Deal." Blaze Regret smiled, waving his hand generously.


    "You''re dead!" Snow Amar suddenly stood up, his face twisted with rage, and a violent killing intent enveloped Blaze Regret.


    "Sir, please sit down."


    On the jade platform, Alif Azlin knocked the auction hammer displeasedly, her charming voice mixed with a trace of coldness: "If you disrupt the order again, we will have to ask you to leave."


    "Just you wait. You better hope I don''t see you at the Angsana Pavilion Festival!"


    After leaving a vicious threat, Snow Amar sat down furiously.


    "Now for the next auction item."


    Alif Azlin smiled, easing the previously tense atmosphere: "This item was obtained by a spiritualist during their travels. For many fire attribute spiritualists, it is a rare treasure."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up, showing interest for the first time in his dark pupils.


    As Alif Azlin raised her jade like hand, a transparent crystal appeared before everyone''s eyes. The crystal resembled a diamond, with what seemed like a small flame burning inside it.


    "Flame Spirit Blood Diamond?"


    In Blaze Regret''s mind, the astonished voice of Master Magi echoed: "This auction house is quite impressive to have something so rare."


    "You recognize this?" Blaze Regret whispered so only he could hear.


    "Of course, don''t underestimate me!" Master Magi replied irritably, "I''ll explain later. First, figure out how to win this item."


    On the jade platform, Alif Azlin smiled charmingly: "This item can negate the side effects of any pill and instantly elevate a fire attribute spirit beast of the novice level by one rank. The starting bid is fifteen thousand gold coins!"


    "This..."


    Blaze Regret, who had been excited a moment ago, suddenly felt like he had been doused with cold water. The effect of this Flame Spirit Blood Diamond was similar to the Earth Flame Pill!


    After Scorching Flame Cat broke through to the eighth rank, he had given it the Earth Flame Pill. A few days later, it would completely absorb the medicinal effect and rise to the ninth rank.

 Chapter 67: Chapter 67 Angsana Auction House 3

    But by then, the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond would be useless!"Don''t overthink it, just bid as I tell you!" Sensing ;Blaze Regret''s hesitation, Master Magi''s irritable voice rang in his mind again.


    "Twenty thousand!" Gritting his teeth, Blaze Regret called out his bid.


    Seeing this, Snow Amar instantly felt a surge of joy, a sense of satisfaction at the impending revenge flashing in his eyes.


    "If you dare raise the bid, I''ll let you have it. Believe it or not?"


    Just as Snow Amar was about to cause trouble, Blaze Regret let out a low roar. This display made Snow Amar swallow his words. He didn''t doubt for a second that Blaze Regret would do something like that. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Twenty thousand, going once!"


    "Twenty thousand, going twice!"


    "Twenty thousand, going three times!"


    "SOLD!"


    On the jade platform, Alif Azlin was also pleased as she brought down the auction gavel. Although the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond was rare, many pills could achieve the same effect. Twenty thousand gold coins had already exceeded the price of many Grade One pills.


    "Everyone, now let us auction the final item of this auction."


    Alif Azlin''s enchanting voice resonated through the auction hall, which instantly fell silent. The members of the four great families, in particular, sat upright and stared intently at the stage.


    The main event was about to begin!


    Alif Azlin gently waved her slender hand, causing the glass counter in front of her to quietly sink down. A new glass counter then rose up again.


    When everyone saw the items on the counter, they couldn''t help but have strange expressions on their faces. However, no one dared to speak up and break the carefully cultivated atmosphere.


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly as he looked ahead. On the glass counter, there was a jade plate, and on the plate lay a damaged piece of paper.


    "What kind of treasure is this? It''s just a worn out map!" Snow Amar sneered disdainfully.


    Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the room, Alif Azlin also smiled bitterly in her heart. When she learned that the final item was a torn piece of paper, her expression was no better than anyone else''s.


    "Ahem!"


    After a light cough, a professional smile appeared on Alif Azlin''s pretty face. "Ladies and gentlemen, this map was accidentally obtained by a spirit hunter. We don''t know exactly what it records, but we can be sure that the locations marked on it are not simple."


    "Anyone can make empty promises. If we end up losing money, who do we go to?"


    A spirit master in the crowd couldn''t help but speak up, and immediately, a series of agreeing voices echoed.


    "You''re overthinking it." Alif Azlin gently picked up the paper, covering a crucial part with her jade like hand, and said with a smile, "Some of you should recognize the mark at the bottom left corner of this map."


    In the bottom left corner of the map, there was an engraving of a crystal clear ice lotus.


    "Ice Lotus Mark?"


    Seeing this mark, a few incredulous exclamations instantly echoed through the auction house.


    "What is the Ice Lotus Mark?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled, frowning slightly.


    Seemingly recalling something, Blaze Ash remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The Ice Lotus Mark is the symbol of one of the four great experts of the Blizzard Moon Empire, the Ice Lotus Sage."


    "The Ice Lotus Sage?" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted, finally understanding why so many people lost their composure upon seeing this mark.


    Legend has it that the Ice Lotus Sage was extremely cold and indifferent, treating human lives like grass. Once, someone offended his disciple, and as a result, the city where that person lived turned into an ice city overnight! All living beings within the city were frozen!


    "Thankfully, that guy has long since perished," Blaze Regret sighed with relief. Such beings were truly terrifying.


    "So this is an item of the Ice Lotus Sage. I bid forty thousand gold coins!"


    However, as soon as someone placed a bid, Alif Azlin shook her head with a bitter smile. "I forgot to tell you, the location marked on this map is within the Black Forest."


    As soon as the words "Black Forest" fell, the entire auction house fell silent, and the gazes directed at Alif Azlin became extremely strange.


    "Black Forest, isn''t that the site of the Angsana Pavilion Festival?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh wryly.


    According to legend, the Black Forest is the place where a powerful spirit beast perished, and it is surrounded by a barrier. Practitioners above the level of spirit novice cannot set foot inside.


    "You should have said so earlier; we got excited for nothing." Instantly, more than half of the people lost interest.


    "The map left by the Ice Lotus Sage..."


    Snow Fazlin murmured softly, a gleam flashing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I bid fifty thousand gold coins."


    "Sixty thousand!" Met Intan immediately followed.


    "Seventy thousand!" Sky Rodzi also placed a bid.


    "Eighty thousand!" Blaze Ash glanced at Blaze Regret and said calmly.


    "One hundred thousand!" With a determined heart, Snow Fazlin said coldly.


    One hundred thousand gold coins would be a significant burden even for the four major families.


    Considering the Blaze family from a few days ago, although each family''s assets exceed a million gold coins, their liquid funds are limited. One hundred thousand gold coins would be enough to strain a family significantly.


    "Father, how many gold coins do you have on hand?" Blaze Regret looked at Blaze Ash.


    "One hundred and fifty thousand."


    Blaze Ash frowned slightly. This was despite Mark and Park Lily''s support by pooling their resources. After all, even an alchemist like Park Lily couldn''t endlessly produce elixirs. Blaze Regret himself needed several days of rest after refining the Purple Flame Pill, so Park Lily was no exception.


    Moreover, to improve alchemist skills, one must consume a vast amount of medicinal herbs and even spiritual medicines, which is an incredibly costly endeavor.


    "One hundred and thirty thousand!"


    Sky Rodzi spoke again. If anyone else raised the bid, he planned to withdraw. After all, he couldn''t justify spending so many gold coins on a map whose contents were unknown.

 Chapter 68: Chapter 68 Angsana Auction House 4

    Even with the map, obtaining the Ice Lotus Sage''s treasures wouldn''t be easy.Seeing this, Met Intan shook his head and chose to withdraw immediately. Among the four major families, the Met family''s foundation was the weakest.


    "One hundred and fifty thousand!"


    Snow Fazlin provocatively looked at Blaze Ash. He didn''t believe for a moment that the Blaze family could recover so quickly after the recent events. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s face showed a mix of emotions. After struggling internally for a moment, he pulled out an Void Realm Stone and handed a gold coin card to Blaze Ash. "This gold coin card contains about thirty thousand gold coins that I''ve saved up over these days."


    This gold coin card was what Blaze Regret had obtained from defeating Blue Ken. As for his own, it had long been emptied.


    Taking the gold coin card, a strange light flashed in Blaze Ash''s eyes. He then discreetly placed the card under his robe and rubbed off the character "Blue" in the lower left corner with his thumb.


    "One hundred and eighty thousand," Blaze Ash said calmly.


    "Where did you get so many gold coins?" Snow Fazlin looked at Blaze Ash incredulously. Even the intact Snow family could only muster one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins at once. How could the disrupted Blaze family still have such a foundation?


    "One hundred and eighty thousand, going once!"


    Cold sweat began to drip from Snow Fazlin''s forehead.


    "One hundred and eighty thousand, going twice!"


    His face looked even more troubled.


    "Hehe, Master Snow, it seems you need some help," someone teased.


    At this moment, a cheerful voice echoed. Snow Fazlin looked up to see a purple gold coin card appear before him.


    A purple gold coin card signifies a value of one hundred thousand gold coins!


    "Kartis kai?"


    Seeing the figure suddenly appear beside Snow Fazlin, a surge of anger began to rise in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "Ninety thousand!"


    Snow Fazlin gratefully nodded to Kartis Kai and then shouted excitedly.


    "Old man, do you plan on not surviving the night?" Blaze Ash''s eyes narrowed slightly, finally revealing a cold killing intent.


    "Master Snow, as you can see, I can''t return to the Blaze family. I wonder if the Snow family could offer me a place to stay?" Kartis kai asked with a smile.


    "Of course, I''ll prepare the best room for you!" Snow Fazlin naturally recognized that Kartis Kai was also a powerful spiritual master, so he spoke with utmost respect.


    "Ninety thousand, going once!"


    "Ninety thousand, going twice!"


    "Blaze Ash, give me that necklace, and this map will still be yours."


    At that moment, Kartis Kai''s voice echoed in Blaze Ash''s mind.


    Blaze Ash''s lips parted as he was about to say something when suddenly, a gold coin card, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, landed in Blaze Ash''s hand.


    Turning his head, Blaze Regret was stunned to see Sky Diana in the distance, waving her snow white hand at him with a charming smile.


    "Damn, kid, you did it!"


    After a moment of surprise, Blaze Peter nudged Blaze Regret with his elbow, grinning like an old fox.


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand!"


    Blaze Ash took the gold coins from Blaze Regret''s hand and directly quoted a terrifying number. Snow Fazlin looked to Kartis Kai for help, only to find the latter''s face looking as if he had eaten a dead rat.


    This time, he truly example the saying "trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the bait." Not only did he fail to get the necklace, but he also couldn''t return to the Blaze family!


    In the future, it would be even more difficult to learn the location hidden in the necklace!


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, once!"


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, twice!"


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, three times!"


    "Sold!"


    Blaze Ash let out a sigh of relief, as if he had fought a difficult battle. What he was thinking in his heart, no one knew.


    "What exactly does the Ice Lotus Master''s map record?"


    Ignoring the blade like gazes from Snow Fazlin and Snow Amar, Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, with a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.


    After the auction ended, those who had successfully bid on items began to enter the backstage area for the handover process, while the others followed the crowd out of the auction hall.


    "Old man, you really pulled it off."


    In front of the auction hall, Blaze Peter crossed his arms and glanced at Kartis Kai, his voice tinged with anger. Clearly, Kartis Kai''s previous actions had successfully ignited his fury.


    "Hehe, I believe that with the Snow family''s strength, they will surely come out on top in this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Seemingly ignoring Blaze Peter''s voice, Kartis Kai continued to converse with Snow Azrul and others as if no one else was around, occasionally letting out bursts of laughter.


    Watching this scene, many strong individuals had peculiar expressions. Wasn''t Kartis Kai a member of the Blaze family? Why was he conversing so happily with people from the Snow family?


    "A dog of the Blaze family remains a dog of the Blaze family, no matter how well it gets along with outsiders. When it''s mealtime, it will naturally come back."


    Blaze Ash walked out slowly, handing a box containing the map and the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond to Blaze Regret without even glancing at Kartis Kai, then turned and headed back to the Blaze family.


    "Blaze Ash!" Kartis Kai''s face twitched, his eyes full of anger. If it weren''t for the disparity in their strength, he would have already fought him.


    "I really don''t understand what the head of the family is afraid of. It''s just a Spirit Lord. Why not just kill him and be done with it? Why go through all this trouble?" Kartis Kai thought furiously.


    "Senior, let''s go."


    Snow Fazlin glanced at Blaze Peter, then gave Blaze Regret a cold stare before leading the Snow family members back to their home. Although they didn''t get the map, gaining the alliance of a Spirit Lord level expert was still a small win.

 Chapter 69: Chapter 69 The Beginning

    "You keep this map for now. When we enter the Black Forest, you must hand it over to me intact."Reluctantly pulling his gaze away from the box in Blaze Regret''s hand, Snow Amar smiled. In his mind, both the Ice Lotus Master''s map and Blaze Regret''s life were already his possessions.


    "Hey."


    After Snow Amar left, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly came from the side.


    Blaze Regret turned his head and saw a young girl smiling at him. Her eyes, like a clear pool of water, easily evoked goodwill.


    "Miss Sky?" Blaze Regret nodded and smiled. "Thank you for the Sky family''s help. My father asked me to convey his gratitude."


    "That was a minor matter and also my father''s wish. But tomorrow, we are heading to the Black Forest," Sky Diana said with a smile.


    "Tomorrow already?"


    Blaze Regret fell into a brief silence. Ever since he had awakened his spiritual senses, he had been immersed in cultivation. The only external environment he had been exposed to was the back mountain, and he had not yet experienced real training.


    However, he was confident that he could quickly adapt to that kind of life.


    "This time, the Angsana Pavilion Festival being held in the Black Forest is quite unexpected. The Batas Shop has confirmed that Snow Amar will be participating, but we haven''t received any information about the other two competitors," Sky Diana said, slightly serious.


    "Snow Amar, huh¡­"


    Blaze Regret smiled slightly. Among the younger generation in Veloria City, Snow Amar was considered the strongest, but now, that might no longer be the case.


    The Black Forest, located south of Veloria City, was usually uninhabited due to its unique restrictions.


    These restrictions made the forest rich in spiritual herbs and rare medicinal materials, to an unimaginable extent. It was said that many rare spirit beasts, hard to find elsewhere, could be found in the forest.


    The next morning, the leaders of the three major merchant Shop gathered in front of the Black Forest. Besides them, a woman in a fiery red cheongsam was conversing with them.


    "Alif Azlin?"


    Following Mark''s instructions, Blaze Regret arrived at the Black Forest and was puzzled when he saw the woman.


    "Did you really think Alif Azlin was just an auctioneer?"


    Sky Diana approached Blaze Regret and laughed softly. "She is actually the head of Angsana Pavilion in Veloria City. Her role as an auctioneer is just a cover."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded in understanding.


    "Sis, is this the person who is supposed to join our team?"


    A young man, about Blaze Regret''s age, suddenly stepped out from behind Sky Diana, looking at Blaze Regret with a gaze full of doubt. "An eighth rank Spirit Novice? What was Manager Mark thinking? Isn''t it obvious he''s going to hold us back?"


    Sky Diana gave Blaze Regret an apologetic smile and then looked at the young man with some displeasure. "Sky Nasrul, how can you speak like that? Apologize to Blaze Regret right now."


    "Sis, I will not apologize to a weakling," Sky Nasrul retorted stubbornly, glaring at Blaze Regret.


    "Hehe, Sky Nasrul is right. The weak indeed do not deserve an apology," Snow Amar said with a smile, standing behind Mat kun.


    "We haven''t even started, and the atmosphere is already so tense?"


    Alif Azlin walked over with a smile, lowering her body slightly to meet Blaze Regret''s gaze. "You must be the young alchemist everyone in the city has been talking about these past few days. Let me formally introduce myself. I''m Alif Azlin, the person in charge of this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Seeing Alif Azlin greet Blaze Regret, Snow Amar''s expression instantly turned cold. He had always had a considerable affection for Alif Azlin and had even pursued her a few times in secret.

    Of course, each attempt had ended in failure.


    Shaking Alif Azlin''s soft, jade like hand, Blaze Regret smiled and said, "No wonder the Second Elder always says that Sister Alif Azlin is the most charming person in Veloria City."


    "You smooth talker."


    Alif Azlin was momentarily taken aback and then stood up, laughing and crying at the same time. She hadn''t expected a young man to flirt with her the moment they met.


    However, she quite enjoyed the compliment.


    "The Catas Merchant Shop really did invite the Met family brothers..."


    Blaze Regret glanced at the trio behind Alif Azlin and thought to himself that if he encountered all three at once, it would likely cause significant trouble.


    "Hehe, Mark, it looks like you''re destined to lose this time."


    Mat Kun looked at Blaze Regret and the others with a smug smile. The lineup of the Atlas Merchant Shop was incomparable, especially since it included an eighth rank Spirit novice.


    Could it be that Mark couldn''t find anyone better and had to settle for such trash?


    "It''s not over until it''s over. Who knows what the outcome will be?"


    Mark retorted without backing down, confronting Mat Kun head on, while the Catas Merchant Shop remained silent, as if the conflict had nothing to do with them.


    "Now, let me explain the rules."


    Alif Azlin smiled, raising her delicate hand slightly. Nine sheets of white paper floated into the hands of the nine participants.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret glanced at the two individuals standing next to Snow Amar, his brow furrowing subtly. Since their arrival, these two had been cloaked in black robes and had not uttered a single word. They didn''t seem like easy people to deal with.


    "You all know that due to the restrictions of the Black Forest, anyone with strength above a Spirit Novice cannot enter. However, within the forest, there are many rare spiritual herbs and medicinal materials. The items listed on this sheet are what you need to collect.


    The group that gathers the most valuable items will receive a special reward from the Angsana Pavilion," Alif Azlin explained with a smile.


    Blaze Regret inwardly rolled his eyes, already suspecting that Angsana Pavilion wouldn''t be so kind. Even he was tempted by some of the spiritual herbs and medicinal materials on the list.


    "The time limit is three days. Now, you may enter."

 Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal1

    Although it was early morning, a thin mist lingered throughout the Black Forest. Looking up, the sunlight filtered through the canopy, significantly dimmed by the leaves."This forest is indeed strange."


    Blaze Regret walked slowly with Red, the latter bouncing around like an excited rabbit, startling many small spirit beasts hiding in the bushes, causing them to flee in all directions.


    "Keep up with us, don''t fall behind."


    Up ahead, Sky Nasrul suddenly turned around and shouted, his voice filled with impatience.


    Ever since they entered the Black Forest, he hadn''t shown Blaze Regret a friendly face. He thought, "Just an eighth level spirit novice, what are you doing here? Wouldn''t it be better to stay at home?" sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Shrugging helplessly, Blaze Regret didn''t argue with Sky Nasrul. He continued to walk slowly, but his spiritual sense had already covered a radius of twenty meters, ready to detect any danger immediately.


    "Something''s wrong, there seems to be a big one ahead."


    Sky Diana, who had been walking, suddenly stopped. She extended her hand, and a pale blue summoning array quickly appeared beside her. In an instant, a spinning wind vortex emerged, blowing away all the fallen leaves on the ground.


    The wind vortex was about half the size of a person, with arms that rotated like a cold wind. In its upper part, one could vaguely see a pair of cold eyes.


    "A high level ninth rank Wind Elemental?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with surprise. Wind Elementals typically started at the mid level novice rank, and Sky Diana''s Wind Elemental had clearly broken through its initial rank.


    Seeing the surprise in Blaze Regret''s eyes, Sky Nasrul''s disdain grew even stronger. With a wave of his hand, a Wind Elemental with an aura no weaker than Sky Diana''s also appeared.


    "Rustle!"


    At that moment, a giant tree ahead, indistinguishable from ordinary trees, suddenly shook its branches and leaves, rustling loudly. Its roots abruptly pulled out from the soil and squirmed wildly, charging towards the three of them.


    "Whoosh!"


    Before they could get closer, the giant tree suddenly shook violently. In an instant, several sharp wooden vines shot out from the ground where Blaze Regret and his companions stood, with some damp soil clinging to them.


    "Don''t get in our way!"


    A low growl from Sky Nasrul made Blaze Regret pause. He then saw a wind vortex push him out of the way.


    "Damn, this guy really thinks I''m a burden."


    Blaze Regret smiled bitterly but didn''t command Red to act. The giant tree, known as the Green Leaf Tree Demon, was merely a mid level ninth rank spirit beast and posed no significant threat.


    "Wind Elemental, use Wind Blade to cut off its roots!"


    Following Sky Nasrul''s order, the Wind Elemental waved its transparent hand, and several wind blades materialized out of thin air. They shot out swiftly, slicing into the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s roots.


    "Slash!"


    With almost no resistance, several of the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s roots were severed. However, it reacted quickly, swinging its branch like arms to shatter the remaining wind blades.


    As its attack was blocked, the Wind Elemental spun rapidly like a top and fiercely struck the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s trunk, causing wood splinters to fly everywhere.


    High level novice rank spirit skill, Whirling Wind Dance!


    "Go and help it out."


    Sky Diana''s soft voice commanded, and the Wind Elemental in front of her shot forward instantly. With a flicker, it appeared behind the Green Leaf Tree Demon and collided heavily with it.


    Under the combined assault of the two Wind Elementals, the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s body creaked and was pierced through. The light in its hollow eyes faded, and it crashed to the ground with a resounding thud.


    In that moment, a wave of dust and debris swept across dozens of meters.


    "Good thing you didn''t mess things up, otherwise we''d have to waste time saving you."


    Sky Nasrul collected the spirit core brought by the Wind Elemental into his Void Realms stone and gave Blaze Regret a look that said "you know what''s good for you." He then took out another wind element spirit core and fed it to the Wind Elemental.


    "I don''t need your rescue."


    Sky Diana sighed helplessly. Her brother was usually kind to people, but today he seemed to be in a strange mood, constantly picking on Blaze Regret.


    "Let''s keep moving."


    Blaze Regret smiled inwardly. This little guy was quite amusing. Pushing him out of the battlefield right away was indeed a protective gesture, but his words were a bit too harsh.


    They were soon attacked by a few more spirit beasts, but none were particularly strong. The strongest among them was merely a mid level eighth rank novice, and the Wind Elemental easily tore it to pieces.


    "Wait!" Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened. "Something''s off ahead."


    "Hmm?"


    Sky Diana furrowed her brows slightly and extended her spiritual sense. Her eyes blinked in confusion. "I can''t sense anything."


    "There is definitely something there. We can''t go any further; it''s better to detour around it!" Blaze Regret insisted firmly.


    He was indeed an eighth rank spirit disciple, but his spiritual power was not comparable to that of Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul, who were both ninth rank spirit novice. From his perception, there was a large group of entities ahead in the forest that could pose a lethal threat to them.


    "Seriously? Are all Blaze family members this cowardly? Your courage is really lacking!"


    Sky Nasrul said with exasperation, "Besides, don''t you think I can judge if there''s danger or not? Do I need an eighth rank spirit novice like you to remind me?"


    After speaking, Sky Nasrul strutted forward, leading the Wind Elemental with him.


    "How about we take a detour?" Sky Diana hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed with Blaze Regret''s suggestion.


    "No need!"


    Sky Nasrul carelessly pushed aside the branches in front of him. However, in the next moment, his nonchalant expression turned into one of terror as a deafening, soul stirring buzzing sound filled his ears!


    "Bloodthirsty Bees?"


    As Sky Nasrul''s panicked voice echoed, Blaze Regret''s expression also became much more serious.

 Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 2

    Bloodthirsty Bees, low level novice grade spirit beasts, rarely ever ascend to mid level novice in their lifetime.But don''t be misled by their apparent lack of power; their true terror lies in their numbers!


    Even a massive Flame Tiger would be stung to death in mere seconds, left as nothing but a bloodless corpse!


    "Run!"


    With a face full of fear, Sky Nasrul ran back. Behind him, an enormous swarm of Bloodthirsty Bees, their transparent wings vibrating, surged forward like a dark cloud!


    "Wind Blades!"


    Sky Diana''s delicate face was tense as her Wind Elemental swung its icy hands repeatedly. With each swipe, wind blades cut through the air, and clusters of Bloodthirsty Bees fell to the ground, writhing weakly. But the number of dead bees was insignificant compared to the total swarm!


    "Help!"


    The increasingly loud buzzing behind him filled Sky Nasrul with extreme fear. Even as he frantically channeled his spiritual power, the deadly swarm kept closing in.


    His Wind Elemental fared even worse, as several Bloodthirsty Bees caught up to it. The sharp bee stingers mercilessly pierced through its body, and with a twist, the stingers struck again.


    The speed was dazzling.


    If it weren''t for the unique structure of the wind attribute spirit beast, that Wind Elemental would have been annihilated by now. Even so, its body was thinning visibly.


    "Looks like it''s up to me," Blaze Regret sighed lightly.


    The Scorching Flame Cat on the ground took a small step forward with its paw, and flames immediately surged from its entire body, a glint of battle intent flashing in its eyes.


    "Buzz!"


    Swarms of bloodthirsty bees, each the size of a soybean, filled the sky, their numbers akin to a plague of locusts, causing an involuntary shiver down one''s spine.


    "Wow!"


    An unfortunate crow that accidentally flew by was instantly riddled with countless blood holes, and in its desperate struggle, it turned into a skeleton, falling to the ground with a thud.


    Seeing the crow''s miserable end, Sky Nasrul''s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his shoulders trembling, eyes filled with terror.


    "Sis, help!" Sky Nasrul cried out in despair, his face ashen.


    "Dance of the Gale!"


    Sky Diana''s anxious voice rang out, and the wind element before her began to spin rapidly, creating a sharp whistling sound as it charged into the swarm of bloodthirsty bees, shredding a large number of them to pieces.


    However, more bloodthirsty bees still broke through the barrier of wind elements, darting towards Sky Nasrul with lightning speed. Their tiny, bloodthirsty eyes stared at Sky Nasrul with deadly intent.


    "Am I going to die..."


    A bitter smile emerged at the corner of Sky Nasrul''s mouth, and he despairingly watched as countless bloodthirsty bees swarmed over him.


    Smelling the scent of blood carried by the wind, Sky Nasrul unwillingly closed his eyes.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    However, even after closing his eyes for a long time, the expected pain did not come. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a slightly thin figure standing quietly in front of him. Around them, a semicircular flame barrier rippled continuously under the impact of the bloodthirsty bees.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but be stunned. A defensive spirit technique could only be performed by a Spirit warrior, as a Spirit novice''s spiritual power was insufficient to sustain it. Yet, Blaze Regret in front of him was actually using a defensive spirit technique?


    "Withdraw your wind element. If you delay any longer, it will dissipate."


    At this moment, Blaze Regret''s calm voice reached Sky Nasrul. Snapping back to reality, Sky Nasrul quickly opened the Spirit portal and retrieved the wind element that had started to appear somewhat ethereal.


    Feeling the injuries of the wind element, Sky Nasrul''s heart was filled with bitterness. With injuries of this extent, it would be impossible to recover in less than ten days to half a month.


    "Wind element, return!"


    Sky Diana''s wind element had also reached its limit. After extinguishing another swarm of bloodthirsty bees, her spiritual power was finally depleted, and she recalled it.


    "Go quickly, don''t worry about me. Your spiritual power won''t last much longer either, right?" Sky Nasrul raised his head, his face filled with bitterness. Despite his dislike for the person in front of him, he didn''t have the heart to drag him down to die together.


    "It''s up to you now," Blaze Regret said softly to the Red at his feet, as if he hadn''t heard Sky Nasrul at all.


    "Roar!"


    Nodding slightly, the Red Flame on Red''s body began to glow brightly. Then, in a flash, it charged directly into the swarm of bloodthirsty bees.


    "Whoosh!"


    Torrential flames instantly swept out from Red''s body, transforming into a fiery whirlwind that spun continuously around it. In no time, the sound of crackling was heard, and one bloodthirsty bee after another fell, trailing wisps of green smoke.


    "Fiery Whirlwind, Ninth Tier?"


    Sky Nasrul''s mouth gaped open, and he shouted in disbelief.


    The spirit technique Red was using at that moment was called Fiery Whirlwind, and only a Ninth Tier Scorching Flame Cat could comprehend it!


    "Yes, the Ninth Tier," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.


    "But you were just an Eighth Tier Spirit novice!" Sky Nasrul looked at Blaze Regret, his face full of incredulity.


    "I was at the Eighth Tier just a moment ago, and now I''m at the Ninth Tier," Blaze Regret said, touching his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Nasrul''s forehead was covered in black lines. At the Angsana Auction House, Blaze Regret''s aura had been very chaotic, clearly having just broken through to the Eighth Tier. But after just one day, he had become a Ninth Tier Spirit novice. What kind of speed was this!


    Blaze Regret naturally wouldn''t tell him that it was the effect of the Earth Flame Pill. The Earth Flame Pill with pill patterns had minimized the side effects, so Red''s breakthrough speed was much faster.


    "Woof!"


    Seeing the bloodthirsty bees continuously charging towards it, Red suddenly felt extremely displeased. It opened its mouth, and fiery red spiritual power gathered in its mouth, transforming into a blazing sun that floated in mid air. Above the fiery whirlwind, it exploded with a bang.

 Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 3

    In an instant, terrifying energy swept around, and the scorching high temperature caused the surviving bloodthirsty bees to flee in panic. On the ground, the bloodthirsty bees with broken wings continued to struggle."Buzz!"


    Just after scattering, an even larger number of bloodthirsty bees flew out from the forest, a black, rolling tide. The terrifying number even caused Blaze Regret''s face to change.


    "Over here!"


    Suddenly, Sky Diana''s clear voice echoed from behind. Without thinking, Blaze Regret grabbed Sky Nasrul from the ground and ran towards the source of the voice. Red, wagging its little tail, quickly followed.


    As Blaze Regret rushed over, he saw Sky Diana standing in front of a tree hole, anxiously waving her jade hand. After throwing Sky Nasrul into the tree hole, Blaze Regret pulled Sky Diana in as well.


    "Bang!"


    A solid wooden plank blocked the entrance to the hole. The sound of impacts, like raindrops, kept ringing out. The piercing sound of wings flapping was so clear that the three of them could hear it even inside the tree hole.


    "Um, could you let go now..."


    A tiny, mosquito like voice suddenly rang out, causing Blaze Regret to freeze for a moment. He quickly pushed the soft, warm figure in his arms away, with the lingering fragrance still faintly swirling around his nose.


    "Blaze Regret, how dare you hug my sister!"


    Behind him, Sky Nasrul roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grabbing Blaze Regret''s neck and shaking him furiously.


    "If you shake me one more time, I might just let go."


    With his head shaking to the point of dizziness, Blaze Regret turned his head and helplessly spoke to Sky Nasrul.


    Thinking about the terrifying creatures outside, Sky Nasrul shuddered and quickly released his grip, but his eyes still angrily glared at Blaze Regret.


    "Cut it out."


    Sky Diana extended her slender hand, turning Sky Nasrul''s face aside. Due to the dim light inside the tree hole, no one could see that her crystalline earlobes were faintly blushing.


    "This wooden plank is quite sturdy. It must have been left by a Lord grade wood type spirit beast."


    After a dry cough, Blaze Regret suddenly spoke, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.


    "Yes, the tree hole we''re in is actually the remains of a Wild Wood Demon. This plank was left behind after its spirit core was taken out when it was killed."


    Sky Diana''s knowledge of spirit beasts was clearly no less than Blaze Regret''s, as she softly nodded.


    "According to the bloodthirsty bees'' habits, they should linger for about another half an hour. During this time, it''s best if we don''t go out."


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret looked at the dim shadows on the ground. "You know what to do, right?"


    "Woof!"


    Red extended its paws with a look of grievance, and bright flames ignited, dispelling much of the darkness within the tree hole.


    When Blaze Regret turned his head, he saw Sky Nasrul looking as wild as a beast. At that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why the latter had such a fiery temper upon meeting him.


    "Such a child..." Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Turning his head away, Blaze Regret muttered inwardly.


    In the silent forest, thin mist swirled around, and giant trees stood like colossal umbrellas, their dense branches extending outward. Among them, a slightly withered tree stood out conspicuously.


    "Thud!"


    Suddenly, a gap opened beneath the withered tree, and a small, Scorching Flame Cat head poked out sneakily, cautiously surveying the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, it jumped out, half squatting on the ground and wagging its nimble little tail.


    After the Scorching Flame Cat emerged, Blaze Regret and the others finally crouched and exited the tree hole. Each of their faces carried expressions of having narrowly escaped a disaster.


    "The outside world is indeed danger," Blaze Regret said with a wry smile as he walked over to the Scorching Flame Cat. The back mountain of the Blaze family couldn''t compare to this place at all. One was a primitive forest, while the other had been developed, with many aggressive spirit beasts already cleared out by the elders.


    "Hiss!"


    Behind them, Sky Nasrul gasped in pain. The wind element within him had been severely injured, and his condition was far from optimistic. In his spirit portal, a constant needle like pain persisted.


    "Here, take these."


    With a wave of his hand, Blaze Regret took out two wooden boxes from the Void Realms stone and tossed them to Sky Nasrul and Sky Diana.


    "This is... Qi Restoration Pills?"


    Opening the wooden box, Sky Diana''s eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.


    Qi Restoration Pills not only replenished a Spirit Master''s spiritual energy but also directly healed spirit beasts. They were essential for many Spirit Masters during their training outside.


    However, the price of these pills was extremely high. One pill cost six thousand gold coins, and the wooden box Blaze Regret tossed over contained five Qi Restoration Pills each!


    "Thank you," they said.


    With a grateful smile towards Blaze Regret, Sky Diana didn''t stand on ceremony. She took out a Qi Restoration Pill and consumed it, then summoned the wind element and fed it another pill.


    Before long, the entire body of the rapidly rotating wind element was enveloped in a dense white aura.


    "I apologize for my previous attitude, but I still find you quite detestable!" Sky Nasrul''s face changed several times before he drooped his head in frustration. No matter how much he wanted to act tough, the wind element''s injuries wouldn''t allow it.


    Blaze Regret laughed indifferently and took out the list given by Alif Azlin from the Void Realms stone, pondering aloud, "My list records the location of the Ziyou Grass. How about yours?"


    "Mine is for the Nine Mystical Leaves."


    "Same here."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret felt a headache coming on. It was clear that the items on each person''s list were different, and correspondingly, their values varied as well.


    "This Angsana Pavilion has really found themselves a bunch of free herb gatherers."

 Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 4

    His mouth twitched slightly as Blaze Regret''s eyes caught sight of a skeleton in the distance. Behind the skeleton was a medicine basket, a clear indication that it belonged to someone who had previously participated in the Angsana Gathering Festival."Let''s go pick the Ziyou Grass first. This herb is indeed hard to find in the outside world. Even if you have money, no one would sell it."


    Folding the list several times and putting it back into the void realms stone, Blaze Regret extended his hand, and Red immediately climbed onto his shoulder.


    Ziyou Grass is one of the essential ingredients for refining the Purple Inscription Pill, often found growing around the lairs of Ziyou Serpents.


    Fortunately, the Ziyou Serpent is only a mid level novice grade spirit beast, so even though two of their spirit beasts couldn''t fight, Blaze Regret''s Scirching Flame Cat alone was able to slay all the Ziyou Serpents that attempted to attack them.


    Blaze Regret''s list recorded four locations where Ziyou Grass grew, but each place showed signs of previous visitors. Those traces were extremely old, likely left by the person who wrote the list.


    "A total of 168 stalks of second grade herb Ziyou Grass, not a bad harvest. Now it''s time to pick some Nine Mystical Leaves."


    Muttering softly, Blaze Regret extended his hand, and Sky Nasrul cooperatively handed over the list.


    Raising his head in slight frustration, Sky Nasrul looked at the faint white mist floating above the forest. He had completely submitted to Blaze Regret''s prowess by now. Though they were both at the ninth level of the Spirit novice stage, the gap between them was immense.


    Blaze Regret''s spiritual power seemed inexhaustible; even after multiple uses of Fiery Whirlwind by the fiery creature, there was no sign of fatigue.


    "But even so, you and he can''t be compared on the same level."


    Glancing at the smiling Sky Diana, Sky Nasrul sighed inwardly but then shook his head. These matters were better left for others to worry about.


    Unlike Ziyou Grass, Nine Mystical Leaves only grow around a specific type of tree called the Nine Mystical Tree. Each leaf has nine leaflets, making them look very orderly.


    Under a Nine Mystical Tree, the three of them gently picked the Nine Mystical Leaves and placed them into the void realms stone.


    "Why does that area look a bit red?"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on a distant shrub, a hint of confusion flashing across his face.


    Red leaped down and ran to the shrub, gently pawing at it with its cat paw. A plant emitting a faint red glow appeared before their eyes. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Blazing Blade Flower?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul both exclaimed in surprise.


    Looking at the fiery red plant in the distance, Blaze Regret''s eyes also twitched slightly. The Blazing Blade Flower, a second grade spiritual herb, has the effect of stabilizing the rank of fire attribute spirit beasts. It is especially suitable for spirit beasts that have just broken through. More importantly, this herb can make the consuming spirit beast''s claws sharper!


    "Hiss!"


    Just as Red was about to swallow the Blazing Blade Flower, a shadow suddenly burst out from the nearby trees, attacking Red. A wave of heat spread over the shrub.


    "Flame Eagle?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s faces changed simultaneously. The aura of this Flame Eagle was not weaker than that of Red, and what made it even more threatening was that the Flame Eagle could soar into the sky!


    The Flame Eagle swooped down fiercely, its eyes sharp, and its talons seemed capable of tearing through rock.


    "Swish!"


    However, just as its sharp claws touched Red, the small figure on the ground suddenly dissipated. A sharp gust of wind suddenly shot up the giant tree, and then, with a bounce, the figure landed on the Flame Eagle''s back like a flash of lightning.


    "A fake?"


    Sky Nasrul''s eyes widened in disbelief, while Sky Diana revealed a knowing smile. She had long known that Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat had a spirit skill that could deceive opponents.


    "Swish!"


    Scorching flames enveloped the cat''s paw, and then, under the fierce gaze of Red, it plunged straight into the Flame Eagle''s body.


    "Screech!"


    The Flame Eagle let out a painful cry, frantically thrashing in mid air, trying to shake off the fiery creature. However, the latter''s body started to spin at this moment, transforming into a rapidly rotating whirlwind in the sky, driven by the Flame Eagle''s movements!


    After a brief struggle, the Flame Eagle finally fell powerlessly to the ground with a thud.


    Rubbing its slightly dizzy head, Red quickly dug out the Flame Eagle''s spirit core and, after cleaning it, swallowed it in one gulp.


    "There shouldn''t be any more surprises now."


    Blaze Regret crossed a few shrubs and walked over to the Blazing Blade Flower. After ensuring there was no danger, he extended his hand, intending to pull up the Blazing Blade Flower.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, just at that moment, a scorching beam of flame, filled with murderous intent, suddenly shot down from above his head!


    The intense heat from above startled Blaze Regret. With a quick tap of his toes on the ground, he retreated swiftly amid the surging flames.


    "Boom!"


    The fiery beam missed its target, instantly blasting a pitch-black pit into the ground.


    "Who is it?"


    Blaze Regret looked up, his cold gaze directed toward the treetop.


    There, a figure draped in a black robe reclined on a tree branch, looking at him with a smirk. At the figure''s feet lay a fire wolf, its eyes icy and flames flickering along its spine.


    "Someone from the Batas Shop?"


    As Blaze Regret stared at the figure, his eyes narrowed, a chill quickly flashing in their depths.


    "Didn''t expect to wake up and have a big gift delivered."


    The figure on the branch slowly stood up, balancing against the thick tree trunk. After glancing at Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul, the figure''s playful eyes rested on Blaze Regret again. He chuckled, "Leave the Void Realm Stone, and you can go."


    "Hiding your face like a coward, show yourself if you have the guts!" Sky Nasrul said coldly.

 Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 5

    "Heh."With a smile, the person raised their hand, pushing back the hood of the black robe to reveal a slightly sinister face.


    "Black Metal?" Sky Diana''s beautiful eyes narrowed immediately.


    This Black Metal was quite a notorious figure in Veloria City. At the age of fifteen, he killed his own brother to compete for family resources, causing widespread gossip throughout the city.


    His ruthless nature made some members of the four major families avoid him whenever they saw him.


    Looking at the figure above, a cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. "What if I refuse?"


    Upon hearing this, Black Metal chuckled lightly, a mocking expression appearing on his face. "Blaze Regret, do you really think anyone here cares about your status as the young master of the Blaze family? If you think you can scare me off with that, I can only say you''re too naive!"


    As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the fire wolf at his feet bent its back slightly before suddenly leaping to the ground, scattering dead branches and leaves everywhere.


    "A ninth level high tier novice class Rage Fire Wolf?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, "No, it also has a hint of warrior tier aura."


    "Clap! Clap!"


    Standing on the branch, Black Metal clapped his hands with a smile. "I didn''t expect your strength to be so so, but your perception is decent. Indeed, my Rage Fire Wolf is only one step away from the warrior stage. If you don''t want to die, leave the item and get lost quickly."


    "Heh, just one step away? In reality, it just failed to break through to the warrior tier," Sky Nasrul mocked mercilessly.


    The potential of spirit beasts varies, and those that fail to break through to the next rank often find it significantly harder to succeed in future attempts.


    "Do you have a death wish?"


    Black Metal''s face slowly darkened, his voice cold and sinister. "I''ve already given you a chance to live. Since you don''t cherish it, you can all go to hell!"


    "Swish!"


    As soon as Black Metal''s words fell, the Rage Fire Wolf transformed into a streak of fire, charging straight at Sky Nasrul. The leaves it stirred up spiraled around it like a vortex, exuding a faint scorched smell.


    "Wind Element, Whirlwind Dance!"


    Sensing the terrifying speed of the Rage Fire Wolf, sky Nasrul''s heart sank. He quickly summoned the wind elemental from his spirit portal.


    The wind elemental, emerging from the spirit portal, began to spin rapidly, like a whirlwind, and collided heavily with the incoming Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Bang!"


    Upon impact, the Rage Fire Wolf''s body was momentarily halted, but the wind elemental was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away. It let out a painful scream as it crashed into the trunk of a giant tree, dissipating significantly.


    Seeing this, Sky Nasrul''s face turned slightly pale. Black Metal''s Rage Fire Wolf had almost reached the warrior tier, far beyond what his wind elemental could contend with!


    "Howl!"


    After sending the wind elemental flying, the Rage Fire Wolf turned and lunged at Sky Nasrul, emitting a foul stench from its mouth.


    "Roar!"


    At that moment, Red finally finished absorbing the spirit crystal of the Flame Eagle. With a light leap, it rose about three feet off the ground, and with a sweep of its tail, Sky Nasrul was pushed out of harm''s way.


    Sky Nasrul smiled wryly as he retracted the wind elemental back into his spirit portal. He hadn''t expected that what he had once done to Blaze Regret would soon happen to him. This time, he was the one dragging others down.


    After pushing Sky Nasrul out of the way, Red''s body transformed into a fiery whirlwind. Using the momentum, it dodged the Rage Fire Wolf''s sweeping claws.


    "Bang!"


    After a brief separation, the two spirit beasts clashed again, colliding fiercely. The impact sent the fallen leaves in the area flying, creating a sizable vacuum zone.


    Watching the two spirit beasts battle, Black Metal was secretly shocked. His Rage Fire Wolf could easily tear apart a ninth level high tier novice class spirit beast, but this unassuming little fire Cat could withstand its attacks and not show any signs of weakness!

    With a slight tilt of its head, a few strands of fur on the left side of the Rage Fire Wolf''s face were instantly cut off by Red''s sharp claws. Finally, anger surged in the Rage Fire Wolf''s eyes. It raised its paw, and fiery flames erupted, then it swiped fiercely at Red''s throat.


    Where the wolf''s claw passed, even the air seemed to ignite.


    Spirit Technique: Wrath Flame Strike!


    Red reacted swiftly, countering unceremoniously with a blazing claw.


    Both were forced to retreat simultaneously. The Rage Fire Wolf opened its mouth, unleashing a beam of fire that carried intense heat. Several leaves, dislodged by the collision''s aftermath, were instantly incinerated to ashes.


    "Roar!"


    With a sharp cat cry, three streams of fire coalesced around Red, rotating rapidly like streaks of light.


    "Bang!"


    Crossing its claws, Red took the brunt of the incoming fire beam directly on its Cat paws, which propelled it backward until it crashed into a protruding boulder. Fine cracks immediately appeared on the rock''s surface.


    Shaking its little head to dislodge a few pieces of debris, Red stared indifferently at the Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Spirit Technique: Flame Breath?"


    Seeing Red''s aura suddenly matching that of the Rage Fire Wolf, Black Metal''s pupils contracted. He finally realized how unrealistic it was to think he could wipe out the entire team by himself.


    In fact, Blaze Regret and his team were unaware that the previous swarm of Bloodthirsty Bees had been led there by Black Metal to weaken their strength. However, the effect wasn''t as significant as he had hoped.


    "If I had known, I would have joined forces with that guy!"


    A hint of regret flashed in Black Metal''s eyes as he shouted to the Rage Fire Wolf, "Come back, we''re leaving!"


    "Isn''t it a bit late to leave now?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly.

 Chapter 75: Chapter 75 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 6

    "If I want to leave, you can''t stop me," Black Metal scoffed. Though he wasn''t confident about killing the Flame Breath possessing Red, he was equally certain that Red couldn''t do much against his Rage Fire Wolf."Really? Then I guess I''ll have to prove you wrong."


    Blaze Regret spread his palm, and a faint light flickered, quickly restoring the spiritual energy Red had expended.


    At the same time, Red raised its head slightly. As the air twisted, a sun like fireball rapidly formed above it, emanating an incredibly intense wave of energy.


    The fireball floated above Red''s head, and as it burned, the surrounding air began to show signs of distortion. A sense of dryness spread out.


    "An warrior level spiritual skill?"


    Not only Black Metal but also Sky Nasrul felt their hearts race.


    Although Red had used the Blazing Sun once before, due to the cover of the Fiery Tornado, the terrifying nature of the fireball went unnoticed. Now, a look of fright quickly appeared in Sky Nasrul''s eyes.


    Immediately, his heart filled with bitterness. No wonder Blaze Regret remained indifferent to his taunts; in Blaze Regret''s eyes, he must have seemed like a mere clown.


    The Scorching Flame Cat, possessing an Warrior level spiritual skill, was not inferior to his wind elemental, even if it was only at the eighth tier!


    "Run!"


    The previously composed Black Metal, now with a drastically changed expression, roared and shot towards the edge of the field, flames bursting from his feet, blindingly bright.


    "Woof!"


    Seeing Black Metal and the Rage Flame Wolf trying to escape, Red flicked his head, and the Blazing Sun suspended in the air suddenly shot out. Its speed was like a streak of red light.


    Wherever the Blazing Sun passed, leaves quickly burned and turned black in an instant, forming a black path that extended straight towards the two of them.


    "Rage Flame Wolf, Flame Beam!"


    Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the Blazing Sun, a trace of horror flashed across Black Metal''s face. He hurriedly ordered the Rage Flame Wolf to launch an attack to obstruct the oncoming Blazing Sun.


    The Rage Flame Wolf paused, turned its head abruptly, and a blazing red flame beam shot out from its mouth to collide heavily with the Blazing Sun.


    However, the expected explosion did not occur. The Blazing Sun pierced through the flame beam as if tearing it apart.


    "How can this be!" Black Metal''s forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. For the first time, he regretted offending Blaze Regret!


    The Rage Flame Wolf was only one step away from reaching the warrior level, but it was ultimately still a high level novice tier spirit beast. The Blazing Sun, however, was a true warrior level spiritual skill!


    As it broke through the flame beam, the Blazing Sun expended a significant amount of energy, and its emitted light dimmed slightly. But it did not disappoint Blaze Regret; when it reached the Rage Flame Wolf, it exploded with a resounding boom!


    "Boom!"


    A loud noise echoed as the Rage Flame Wolf let out a wail and was blasted backward from the fire wave, leaving a long trail on the ground.


    When the Rage Flame Wolf shakily lifted its head again, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but gasp.


    The wolf''s face was a bloody mess, with blood continuously dripping down its chin, soaking the leaves below.


    "Blaze Regret, this isn''t over between us!"


    Shouting menacingly at Blaze Regret, Black Metal retracted the Rage Flame Wolf into its spirit portal. He suppressed the pain from the backlash and quickly fled the scene, disappearing in an instant.


    "No need to chase."


    Just as Sky Nasrul was about to release his wind elemental to pursue Black Metal, Blaze Regret gently shook his head.


    "Black Metal''s spirit beast is already severely injured and poses no threat to us," Sky Diana said with a light smile.


    "But what if he has a recovery pill or something similar?" Sky Nasrul asked, still anxious.


    "Then we''ll kill him again," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile. He then walked over to the Blazing Blade Flower, bent down, and gently plucked it.


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s words, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but shiver. The young man before him had undoubtedly entered his list of extremely dangerous individuals.


    "Woof!"


    With a gentle curl of its small tongue, Red swallowed the Blazing Blade Flower. Moments later, it licked its lips as if it still craved more.


    As the Blazing Blade Flower settled in its stomach, a faint red glow began to shimmer on Red''s little paws.


    The Blazing Blade Flower, a second grade spiritual herb, can enhance the claws of fire attributed spirit beasts, making them even sharper! Especially during the growth period of a spirit beast, this herb can lay a solid foundation for its future development.

    "Swish!"


    Red lightly raised its paw, and its sharp claws suddenly shot out, reflecting a cold light that sent chills down one''s spine.


    "So cold!"


    Gently stroking Red''s sharp claws, Sky Diana sighed softly.


    "Really?"


    Sky Nasrul was about to feel for himself but was startled by Red''s sudden fierce gaze. Clearly, Red had remembered all the times Sky Nasrul had mocked Blaze Regret.


    "Ahem, let''s continue searching for medicinal herbs. I recall there are still some places where Nine Mystic Leaves grow."


    Clearing his throat, Blaze Regret tried to smooth things over. Of course, he didn''t rush to find the other items listed. Apart from the medicinal herbs, the other spiritual medicines and treasures didn''t have detailed locations recorded. Instead of spending a lot of time on luck, it was better to secure all the medicinal herbs first.


    "Little one, head northwest. Hehe, the Flaming Spirit Blood Crystal I had you collect will come in handy."


    Suddenly, Master Magi''s light laugh echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "Northwest?"


    Blaze Regret cast his gaze into the distance. It seemed like there were also Nine Mystic Leaves growing there, which would save him the trouble of explaining things to the two from the Sky family.

 Chapter 76: Chapter 76 Flaming Giant Spider 1

    As they walked, they dealt with a few spirit beasts that didn''t know better, and soon enough, Blaze Regret and his group arrived at the spot Master Magi had mentioned.There were numerous Nine Mystic Trees growing there, and behind the dense trees stood a not so tall mountain range.


    "There are so many Nine Mystic Leaves here?" Sky Nasrul was overjoyed. The more Nine Mystic Leaves they could gather, the higher the chances their team would take the lead. Therefore, the more of these rare herbs they could find, the better.


    "You guys collect the Nine Mystic Leaves here; I''ll go check out the other side," Blaze Regret said offhandedly before separating from the two.


    Sky Diana gave Blaze Regret a puzzled look but didn''t ask further, assuming he was going to try his luck on the other side of the mountain to see if there were any rare spiritual herbs like the Blazing Blade Flower.


    "Master Magi, are you sure it''s here?"


    Standing in front of the mountain wall, Blaze Regret helplessly touched the jagged rocks. Meanwhile, Red leaped off his shoulder, pulling out a dirt worm hidden in the grass with an excited expression.


    "Stop that!"


    Blaze Regret, with a black line across his face, grabbed Red by the waist and lifted it up. The unlucky dirt worm quickly burrowed back into the soil under Red''s menacing glare.


    "Don''t just look at the surface. Lightly push that imprint shaped rock on your left, and you might be surprised," Master Magi said, floating in mid air with a chuckle.


    "Clang!"


    Skeptically, Blaze Regret pressed the rock as Master Magi had instructed. To his astonishment, the seemingly seamless rock wall suddenly split open like a door with a loud clang.


    "Screech!"


    As the rock wall opened, a swarm of dark creatures with sharp screeches suddenly flew out, causing Blaze Regret to quickly duck down in alarm.


    "Flame Bats! My guess was right. There must be fire elemental spiritual beings within this mountain range," Master Magi said, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.


    Flame Bats were spirit beasts that loved to dwell in areas rich with fire elemental energy.


    "Fire elemental spiritual beings?"


    Blaze Regret muttered to himself. Some rare natural treasures were also called spiritual beings, such as the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond, which was one type of spiritual being.


    "It looks like coming to the Black Forest was indeed worth it."


    "Master Magi, there won''t be any big creatures in here, right?"


    Entering the cave, Blaze Regret cautiously walked along the only visible path and whispered.


    "Who can say for sure? But it''s always better to be careful," Master Magi replied nonchalantly.


    Licking his slightly dry lips, Blaze Regret scanned his surroundings. Although there was no light inside the cave, countless red crystals embedded in the cave walls emitted a soft glow, illuminating the space in a reddish hue.


    "Hmm, a fork?"


    Seeing several paths diverging ahead, Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow and waved his hand. The void realms stone hanging from his waist started spinning in front of him, and a long rope whistled out from it.


    "Good thing I came prepared."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly, tied one end of the rope to a rock at the fork, and tugged it firmly to ensure it was secure. Satisfied, he nodded.


    "Not bad, kid," Master Magi said with a smile, watching Blaze Regret grasp the other end of the rope. "Take the second path; the fire attribute energy is most concentrated there."


    Several more forks appeared as they proceeded. Following Master Magi''s guidance, Blaze Regret chose the correct paths without wasting any time.


    "Why is it getting hotter?"


    Pausing, Blaze Regret wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the entrance ahead, glowing with a faint red light. Feeling a surge of heat, he conjured a shield of fire energy around his body to fend off the warmth.


    Placing his hand on the stone wall, Blaze Regret cautiously peeked inside the cave, his eyes quickly scanning the interior. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hiss!"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on the center of the cave, and he couldn''t help but gasp.


    There, a gigantic flame spider lay crouched. Beneath the spider''s body was a pool of red liquid, exuding a rich fragrance that permeated the cave.


    "It''s indeed Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk," Master Magi suddenly chuckled.


    "Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk?" Chewing over the words, Blaze Regret asked in a low voice, "Is this related to the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond?"


    Ever since he had acquired the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond, he would often take it out to examine, but had not noticed anything special about it.


    "Hehe, little guy, this is a treasure," Master Magi chuckled. "The flame inside the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond is called the Heavenly Crystal Flame. It can help a Spirit Beast of the novice rank maintain its original grade when breaking through. Without this, your Scorching Flame Cat would at best become a mid tier warrior rank after breaking through.


    But if the Heavenly Crystal Flame is refined, your little Cat can maintain its high tier grade."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was overjoyed. He then looked at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk beneath the body of the flame spider and asked, "So this thing can melt the crystal wall around the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond?"


    "Correct," Master Magi nodded with a smile, but then suddenly poured cold water on Blaze Regret''s enthusiasm. "As for how to get it, you''ll have to figure that out yourself. Also, that big guy is called the Flaming Giant Spider. Judging by its size, it''s a mid tier, fourth rank warrior level Spirit Beast."


    With that, Master Magi laughed mischievously and disappeared into the void realms stone, leaving Blaze Regret to deal with the situation.


    Sighing, Blaze Regret looked at the sleeping Flaming Giant Spider, his mind racing with thoughts.


    "Red, go give it a shot!"


    After a moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes hardened, finally making a decision.


    "Woof!"


    Nodding lightly, Red tiptoed to the back of the Flaming Giant Spider. After sizing it up, flames surged on its claws, and it struck fiercely.

 Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Flaming Giant Spider 2

    "Hiss!"The spider''s eyes shot open, its face contorted with an extraordinary expression. Its entire body convulsed, shooting out white spider silk wildly.


    Dodging the flying silk with swift movements, Red provocatively waved its chubby little paw at the enraged spider.


    With its eight legs stomping on the ground, the Flaming Giant Spider reared its body high, instantly doubling in size, and then charged fiercely at Red.


    As the spider charged forward, one of its front legs was raised high, the sharp tip gleaming menacingly.


    "Woof!"


    Startled by the speed of the Flaming Giant Spider, Red quickly turned and ran towards the cave entrance. Behind it, the enraged spider repeatedly stabbed its legs into the ground, leaving a trail of charred pits.


    "Whoosh!"


    Pressed against the stone wall, Blaze Regret felt a gust of wind rush past his ears. Both Red and the Flaming Giant Spider vanished from sight, leaving behind a series of small pits that extended into the distance like a path.


    After cautiously probing to ensure there was no other danger in the cave, Blaze Regret finally walked inside with relief.


    Taking out the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond from the void realms stone, Blaze Regret looked at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, which was so hot that it seemed to vaporize the air around it. He opened his palm, and with a plop, the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond fell into the red liquid. But it quickly floated up and began to spin rapidly.


    "Gurgle!"


    Initially, there was no change in the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond. After a dozen breaths, the surrounding crystal wall slowly began to dissolve at a pace visible to the naked eye, and the flame inside became increasingly active.


    "Hiss!"


    Just as the crystal wall was about to completely disappear, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the Heavenly Flame Milk, its mouth open wide, attempting to swallow the Heavenly Crystal Flame in one gulp.


    "Get lost!"


    With eyes as cold as ice, Blaze Regret extended his finger like a sharp spear and split the shadow into two.


    "Plop!"


    The two halves of the shadow fell to the ground, twitching continuously. The long body wriggled like a worm.


    "A flame snake?"


    Glancing at the ground, Blaze Regret opened his palm, and a powerful suction force pulled the flame like Heavenly Crystal Flame into his hand. Several more flame snakes emerged from the Heavenly Flame Milk, and if Blaze Regret hadn''t acted quickly, the Heavenly Crystal Flame would have been swallowed by one of them.


    "Where''s Red?"


    Stepping back and holding the searing Heavenly Crystal Flame, Blaze Regret spread out his spiritual sense but couldn''t find any trace of Red. He could only sense its general direction through their contract.


    Just as he called out in his mind, he was shocked to see the disheveled Red sprinting toward him from a distance. Behind it, the enormous Flaming Giant Spider was floating in the air, a white thread shooting out from its tail like a pendulum, rapidly closing in on Red.


    "Whoosh!"


    Red darted in front of Blaze Regret like lightning, while the Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes flashed with a sinister smile. Its body slowly descended, blocking the once spacious cave entrance completely.


    "This is going to be exciting..."


    Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat, and a trace of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    In a cave filled with crimson light, Blaze Regret held a rising flame in his palm, his expression solemn. Beside him, Red, surrounded by three blazing red streams of light, fiercely stared at the slowly crawling Flaming Giant Spider.


    "Boom!"


    A slender spider leg of the Flaming Giant Spider extended, instantly piercing through a hard rock on the ground.


    "Red, hit its leg!"


    Upon receiving the command, Red''s mouth suddenly opened, and as spiritual energy gathered, it transformed into a scorching sun, which shot towards the Flaming Giant Spider like lightning.


    In an instant, the scorching sun reached its target. However, a look of disdain flashed in the Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes. Its spider leg suddenly swung, and the sun, imbued with astonishing spiritual energy, was directly dispersed. The shockwave from the explosion quickly swept around.


    "Did it work?" Blaze Regret panted, his eyes fixed ahead.


    As the smoke cleared, the Flaming Giant Spider stood there quietly, without a scratch on its body.


    A low level warrior level spiritual skill, even when executed by Red, could not harm a fourth tier mid level warrior level Flaming Giant Spider!


    "Hiss!"


    As if it had lost patience in toying with Blaze Regret and Red, the Flaming Giant Spider moved its eight slender legs, quickly crawling forward with a spine chilling sound.


    While moving, its enormous body suddenly straightened. A white spider web instantly condensed from the glands in its abdomen, enveloping Blaze Regret and Red.


    As the web passed through mid air, strands of flames ignited on the spider silk, emitting a scorching aura.


    Spiritual skill, Fiery Spider Web!


    Licking his lips lightly, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his body suddenly darted sideways. However, the broad Fiery Spider Web instantly wrapped around Red.


    "Roar!"


    The flames on the spider web kept burning Red''s body, causing it to emit cries of agony.


    Seeing Red wrapped in the spider web, the Flaming Giant Spider instantly grew excited. From the glands in its abdomen, another white thread shot out, accurately connecting to the web encasing Red.


    Raising two of its spider legs, the Flaming Giant Spider began to tug and pull at the white thread, dragging the struggling Red closer. Its mouthparts kept moving, as if it was ready to swallow Red whole.


    "Beast, look over here!" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing that Red was about to be devoured, Blaze Regret became anxious. With a few quick flashes, he appeared behind the spider. His hand, glowing with fiery light, ruthlessly struck out.


    "Hiss!"


    The spider''s abdomen contracted, and with a snap, the thread broke. The Flaming Giant Spider abruptly turned around, its slender legs angrily stabbing towards Blaze Regret''s head from a distance.


    Blaze Regret quickly tapped his foot on the ground, dodging the spider''s legs, which pierced the ground with a sharp whistling sound. The spider withdrew its legs and continued to launch a series of violent stabs at Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Flaming Giant Spider 3

    Thus, an almost comical scene unfolded in the cave: Blaze Regret continuously dodged while the Flaming Giant Spider frantically chased him, the piercing clangs echoing throughout the cave."Boom!"


    Blaze Regret''s back slammed heavily against the wall. Finally, under the relentless assault of the Flaming Giant Spider, his retreat was completely cut off. On either side of him, fiery spider webs hung in the air, ready to engulf him in flames should he make a single move.


    The Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes mocked Blaze Regret as it measured him with its slender legs. Suddenly, it made a half moon arc, thrusting straight towards Blaze Regret''s abdomen.


    As the sharp leg came within half an inch of his body, a relaxed smile spread across Blaze Regret''s face.


    "If you don''t want the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk anymore, you can kill me now."


    Hearing this, the Flaming Giant Spider''s pupils contracted. It quickly glanced behind, only to see a blazing sun floating above the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk Pool, seeming as if it could explode at any moment.


    "Humph!"


    Gently stroking the blazing sun with its cat paw, Red raised its head towards the Flaming Giant Spider, its face full of threatening intent.


    The Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes flickered with uncertainty. It couldn''t fathom how Red had managed to break through its fiery web and reach the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk Pool.


    Although the fiery web was a skill it had mastered at the lower worrior level, it was now at the middle warrior level. Even spirit beasts of the same tier would be momentarily trapped in the web, let alone a mere Scorching Flame Cat.


    Glancing at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk Pool, the Flaming Giant Spider felt a sense of helplessness. After pondering for a moment, it reluctantly lowered its sharp legs.


    If it weren''t for the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, it would still be lingering at the lower warrior level. By continuing to consume the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, it could eventually ascend to the higher warrior level. That temptation far outweighed the desire to kill two insects.


    As the shadow before him slowly receded, Blaze Regret smiled calmly. Red''s claws, after being strengthened by the Blazing Blade Flower, could easily tear through even lower warrior level spirit beasts, let alone the Flaming Giant Spider''s hastily formed web.


    Had it been a fully formed fiery web, they would likely have been trapped unless a Master Magi intervened. Clearly, the Flaming Giant Spider had underestimated Red.


    "You, go to the corner," Blaze Regret instructed, pointing to the farthest side.


    A flash of anger crossed the Flaming Giant Spider''s face. It glanced at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, then slowly crawled towards the corner. Each step, it angrily stabbed its legs into the ground, causing the fiery snakes in the pool to retreat in fear.


    "Come here!"


    The Heavenly Crystal Flame in Blaze Regret''s palm flickered gently as he walked to the entrance of the cave and called out.


    "Humph!"


    With a wave of its Cat paw, the blazing sun darted to a wall, blasting a sizable crater into it. Red hopped over to Blaze Regret''s side and bared its teeth at the Flaming Giant Spider in the corner.


    "Let''s go."


    Seeing no signs of the Flaming Giant Spider charging at them, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. If it had fought desperately, it would have been a tough battle for both him and Red, especially since this was the spider''s territory.


    Picking up the rope from the ground, Blaze Regret retraced his steps and quietly stopped at the entrance of the mountain peak.


    "Master Magi, is it alright for Red to refine the Heavenly Crystal Flame here?" Blaze Regret tapped the void realms stone and whispered.


    Like a wisp of white mist, Master Magi floated out and hovered in mid air. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a hand gesture, a golden halo spread in all directions.


    Instantly, everything within the halo''s range, including the scenery within the rocks, was vividly displayed before Blaze Regret.


    Having witnessed Master Magi''s abilities many times, Blaze Regret was no longer surprised by this miraculous scene.


    "There are no spirit beasts here. It''s very safe," Master Magi nodded.


    Blaze Regret slowly crouched down and extended his palm to Red, who lightly touched it with its claws, letting out a delighted whimper.


    Fire attributed spiritual objects naturally have an irresistible attraction to fire attributed spirit beasts.


    "Speaking of which, if Red breaks through, I''ll soon become a spirit warrior too."


    The reflection of Red danced in Blaze Regret''s pupils, and a faint smile appeared on his face.


    Under the lush Nine Mystic Trees, two figures busily worked, carefully picking Nine Mystic leaves and placing them into the void realms stone.


    "Sis, why hasn''t that guy come back yet? Could he have been eaten by a spirit beast?"


    Twiddling a green Nine Mystic leaves between his fingers, Sky Nasrul glanced into the distance and muttered.


    "Did he provoke you that much for you to wish such a fate on him?"


    Sky Diana straightened up, wiping the fragrant sweat from her forehead with her snow white hand, smiling wryly.


    Rolling his eyes, Sky Nasrul was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. With a twist of his hand, he swiftly outlined a summoning array in front of him, and the wind elemental, which had mostly recovered, roared out.


    "Who''s sneaking around? Show yourself!"


    Sky Diana''s gaze also sharpened, and several light green wind blades appeared out of thin air, ready to shoot out at a wave of her wind element hand.


    "Hehe, so it''s the beautiful Miss Sky."


    Two figures slowly emerged from the forest a dozen meters away. The youth in front looked at the serious faced Sky Diana and smiled lightly.


    Standing beside him was none other than Black Metal, with a gloomy and cold expression. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Black Metal, Hat Tu?"


    Black Metal''s brow furrowed, and he sneered, "Black Metal, your Rage Flame Wolf is already crippled. Are you here to die? And you, Hat Tu, don''t tell me you want us to hand over the void realms stone too."

 Chapter 79: Chapter 79 Blaze Regret Vs Hat Tu 1

    Black Metal was about to curse when Hat Tu beside him chuckled, "What needs to be handed over will naturally be handed over. Also, where''s that kid who injured Black Metal''s spirit beast? Why isn''t he here?"Sky Nasrul narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Hat Tu, don''t be too arrogant. Even Black Metal''s Rage Flame Wolf was miserably defeated by Blaze Regret''s spirit beast. Where do you get the confidence to make us hand over the void realms stone?" S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a slight smile still on his face, Hat Tu responded, "I believe I have enough confidence to take you down."


    As Hat Tu finished speaking, a blue summoning array began to weave and outline above his head. The next moment, a pair of silver wings appeared, seemingly embedded in the array.


    "Chirp!"


    A sharp, clear cry rang out, and the silver wings suddenly expanded to several meters in size. A streak of silver light shot out from the array, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.


    "Silver Feather Bird, a low level warrior tier Grade?"


    Staring at the silver figure in the sky, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but show a look of astonishment. Warrior tier Grade, this was a true warrior tier Grade spirit beast! Hat Tu''s spirit beast had actually grown to the Warrior tier Grade?


    Sky Diana bit her silver teeth lightly together. Her intuition told her that today''s matter wouldn''t be resolved easily. The appearance of an warrior tier Grade spirit beast was enough to make a group of spirit novice despair!


    "Hat Tu, that kid Blaze Regret''s spiritual sense far surpasses ordinary spirit disciples. He probably sensed you coming and ran off, leaving these two behind," Black Metal said with a sinister expression.


    "Hehe, so that''s it. No wonder I didn''t see him," Hat Tu shook his head disdainfully. "It''s a pity; I wanted to face him. But cowards like that don''t even deserve to fight me, which saves us some trouble."


    "Sky Nasrul, Sky Diana, hand over the void realms stone, or else..."


    As Hat Tu''s sinister gaze swept over the two, it lingered on Sky Diana, a hint of heat and greed flashing briefly.


    "Take the void realms stone and go."


    Sky Diana clenched her delicate hand, channeling all the spiritual power from her spirit portal into the wind elemental. It was clear that she intended to fight to the death to buy Sky Nasrul time to escape.


    "Sis, you go!"


    Sky Nasrul angrily stared at Black Metal and Hat Tu. He clenched his wind element palm, and a whirlwind appeared in mid air, rapidly spinning and sweeping towards the Silver Feather Bird.


    "How touching. Too bad none of you can escape," Hat Tu grinned.


    Looking at the approaching whirlwind, a hint of mockery flashed in the Silver Feather Bird''s small, yellow eyes. It showed no intention of dodging and directly shot down, causing the whirlwind to dissipate on impact.


    "Silver Feather Bird, Thousand Feather Blades!"


    Hat Tu''s voice sounded with a smile. The wings of the Silver Feather Bird trembled, and dozens of sparkling silver feather blades appeared one by one around its body. The sharp edges emitted a sharp sound, piercing through the air.


    Thousand Feather Blades, a low level warrior tier Grade spirit technique. It was said that at its pinnacle, it could transform into thousands of blades, even turning a warrior level spirit beast into a honeycomb! What''s more terrifying was that these feather blades could gather together, greatly increasing their destructive power.


    "Crack! Crack!"


    As the wings of the Silver Feather Bird flapped, the dozens of silver feather blades quickly aligned themselves, eventually forming a crescent moon blade, slashing through the air!


    "Swish!"


    The crescent moon blade approached at an extremely fast speed. Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul knew they couldn''t resist it, but they still desperately activated the spiritual power within their bodies, attempting to withstand this attack.


    As members of the Sky family, they had their pride. The Hat family was just an insignificant small clan. If they were to flee in front of Hat Tu, not only would they be disgraced, but the Sky family would also become a laughingstock in Veloria City!


    In mid air, the wind blades shot out by the wind element were completely shattered.


    Despair appeared in their beautiful eyes. Sky Diana bit her lip tightly, and a dazzling bloodstain appeared on it.


    The crescent moon blade was now right in front of them...


    "Clang!"


    However, just at the moment when the blade was about to fall on Sky Diana''s forehead, everyone in the field could hear a clear sound of metal clashing, resounding through the air.


    "Clang..."


    A fiery red figure shot out from behind Sky Diana, flames burning on its sharp claws. It directly slapped the crescent moon blade, then slid down along the inner side of the blade. A string of dazzling sparks splattered wildly as the claws moved.


    Finally, the crescent moon blade was knocked into the air. When it reached halfway, it burst open with a loud bang, once again transforming into silver feather blades, which then dissipated.


    "Scorching Flame Cat, Blaze Regret?"


    Black Metal''s eyelids twitched, and then he burst into laughter: "You cowardly soft egg, you dare to show up. Very well, today I''ll send you on your way too."


    "It seems like today is my lucky day. Mat Kun said that whoever can take care of you all at once will be rewarded with a medium level warrior Tier Grade spirit crystal." Hat Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled.


    "For the sake of my spirit crystal, I have no choice but to sacrifice you all and die together!"


    As Hat Tu''s words reached the second half, his voice suddenly turned ferocious. Then, a faint blue light wrapped around his palm.


    "Swoosh!"


    The Silver Feather Bird''s figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Red. Silver light filled its curved claws.


    Looking at the scene before him, a smile involuntarily appeared on Hat Tu''s face. The Silver Feather Bird''s instant teleportation spirit technique was called Flash Assault, and the subsequent spirit technique was Silver Light Strike, which greatly increased the sharpness of its claws.

 Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Blaze Regret Vs Hat Tu 2

    Under the state of Flash Assault, the Silver Light Strike was enough to instantly kill a spirit beast of the same level!"Die, die!"


    For Black Metal, who was filled with anger towards the severely injured Scorching Flame Cat, he wished to devour it alive. So when he saw the Silver Feather Bird about to tear its body apart, Black Metal naturally felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.


    However, the next scene left everyone stunned.


    Only to see the Scorching Flame Cat lazily yawned, then turned around and lightly swept its cat tail, causing the aggressively approaching Silver Feather Bird to instantly drop its claws.


    "Snap!"


    The Silver Feather Bird, in a dive, crashed heavily into the ground under the influence of inertia, splattering blood and leaving a long bloodstain.


    For a moment, except for the intermittent wailing of the Silver Feather Bird, the entire forest fell into a brief silence.


    "This... this must be fake."


    Sky Nasrul''s eyes were dazed. After a long moment, he finally snapped out of his shock, looking at Blaze Regret who was walking over slowly, his expression extremely complex.


    "Are you alright?" Blaze Regret smiled at Sky Diana.


    "Thank you." Sky Diana gave a bitter smile, lightly pursing her lips.


    With her eyesight, it wasn''t difficult to see that the little Scorching Flame Cat sitting there shaking its small ears had already reached the high level warrior Grade.


    But how could this be possible!


    Just a few hours ago, this Scorching Flame Cat was merely at the high level Novice grade, so how did it suddenly become high level warrior tier grade!


    Not only Sky Diana, but Hat Tu and Black Metal were also shocked. Especially the former, looking at the struggling Silver Feather Bird trying to fly, anger surged in his eyes.


    But thinking of the gap between the two, that anger quickly turned into fear.


    "I heard you were looking for me?" Blaze Regret smiled at Hat Tu.


    "This is a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Cold sweat dripped from Ht Tu''s forehead. How could he have known that Blaze Regret''s spirit beast was actually high level warrior tier Grade?


    Not long ago, he discovered a Silver Light Grass in the forest. After hesitating for a while, he let the Silver Feather Bird swallow it.


    This Silver Light Grass indeed allowed the Silver Feather Bird to successfully break through to the warrior tier Grade, but since its original rank was only mid level novice Grade, even after advancing to the warrior Grade, it remained at the lowest tier.


    Yet, even the weakest warrior tier Grade spirit beast was enough to sweep through the teams participating in this year''s Angsana Pavilion Festival. Who could have anticipated such a sudden twist!


    "Black Metal, I already let you go once, but why didn''t you cherish it?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. The half sitting Scorching Flame cat immediately turned around, its raised tail becoming as sharp as a blade, with a fiery red glow flowing along its edge.


    The Scorching Flame Cat''s high level warrior tier Grade spirit skill, Tail Blade, could even cleave through hard rock in an instant!


    It was this very skill that had effortlessly separated the Silver Feather Bird''s talons just moments ago.


    "Put down the void Realm Stone, and you can withdraw from this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    With no intention of wasting words, the smile on Blaze Regret''s face grew extremely cold, his icy voice slowly emanating.


    "Blaze Regret, this is the void Realm Stone from the Batas Shop. Do you dare to take it?"


    Hat Tu, whose heart was filled with despair the moment the Silver Feather Bird was crippled, knew their participation in the Angsana Pavilion Festival was over. Yet, he still tried to threaten Blaze Regret with a fierce facade, knowing well that he couldn''t possibly afford an void Realm Stone himself. The one tied at his waist was borrowed from Mat Kun, the owner of the Batas Shop!


    Mat Kun was a genuine spirit Lord level expert. Using his name to pressure Blaze Regret and vent his frustration, Hat Tu was more than willing to try.


    However, Blaze Regret merely chuckled lightly: "Mat Kun, huh? Then you can trouble yourself to go out and inform him that this Void Realm Stone now belongs to the Blaze family." sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You¡­"


    Hat Tu glared angrily at Blaze Regret, but upon seeing the Scorching Flame Cat, which had jumped next to the Silver Feather Bird and was continuously brandishing its tail blade near the bird''s body, he couldn''t help but shudder. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand, and the Void Realm Stone immediately fell into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "You can leave now."


    As his spiritual sense probed into the void Realm Stone and saw it filled to the brim with medicinal herbs, Blaze Regret nodded in satisfaction.


    "Do we really have to go?" Black Metal asked, unwillingly looking at Hat Tu.


    Taking the severely injured Silver Feather Bird into his spirit portal, Hat Tu glared at Black Metal with anger, not even in the mood to speak to him, and directly headed towards the exit of the Black Forest.


    If it weren''t for this guy, his Silver Feather Bird wouldn''t have had to suffer such a calamity!


    "Stop. Did I say you could leave?"


    Just as Black Metal was about to follow Hat Tu, Blaze Regret''s smiling voice suddenly rang out.


    Upon hearing this, Black Metal''s body instantly stiffened. Even if the Rage Flame Wolf was at its peak, it wouldn''t stand a chance against Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat, let alone now when it was severely injured!


    With a slight grin, Blaze Regret gently stroked the void Realm Stone, and a sturdy rope appeared in his hand.


    "What are you planning to do?" Black Metal took several steps back, looking at the slowly approaching Blaze Regret with fear, his voice trembling.


    "I was just thinking, if I tied your legs with this rope and hung you upside down from a tree, how long would you last?" Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.

 Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Extreme Ice Eagle 1

    If he hadn''t arrived in time, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul would have likely met their end under the Silver Feather Bird''s talons, and the one responsible for this was none other than Black Metal.


    "Are you insane? This is murder!" Black Metal''s heart was filled with regret. If he had known it would come to this, he would never have called Hat Tu for revenge, even if it killed him!


    "So what?" Blaze Regret tightened the rope, satisfied that it was as sturdy as ever, and began to move it towards Black Metal.


    Black Metal''s throat moved as he gulped, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. If he were really hung upside down from a tree, no one in the Black Forest would find him, and there were countless ferocious spirit beasts here!


    "Wait a minute!"


    Just as the rope was about to fall onto him, Black Metal hurriedly shouted, "I have a detailed map of the Azure Dust Fruit. If you let me go, I''ll give you this map!"


    After speaking, Black Metal felt his heart bleed a little. He had found this map beside a skeleton, and despite the long exposure to the elements, it remained remarkably intact.


    "Azure Dust Fruit?"


    Sky Diana''s bright eyes flashed. This was one of the spiritual herbs listed by Alif Azlin.


    The Azure Dust Fruit, a second grade spiritual herb, was ineffective on spirit beasts but could purify the spiritual power within a spirit master, making it extremely rare and only found in the Black Forest.


    Blaze Regret raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Black Metal with surprise. While marveling at Black Metal''s luck, he unceremoniously extended his hand.


    "Hand it over."


    Good luck amounts to nothing without the strength to maintain it!


    Reluctantly, Black Metal reached into the inner side of his robe and drew out a yellowed piece of paper, placing it unwillingly into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "You can go now."


    Blaze Regret threw out a quick remark and turned away decisively, as if he were shooing away an insignificant bug.


    A trace of venom flashed in Black Metal''s eyes as he chased after Hat Tu in the direction he had left, but a hint of scheme glimmered in his downcast gaze.


    "Blaze Regret, at least I managed to keep my life, while all of you will perish in this forest."


    "Is this where the traces of the Azure Dust Fruit are recorded?"


    Looking at the yellowed paper that Blaze Regret spread out, Sky Diana blinked her beautiful eyes gently.


    On the list given by Alif Azlin, there were six first grade spiritual herbs, but only this Azure Dust Fruit among the second grade herbs. This meant that as long as they could get their hands on the Azure Dust Fruit, they would be guaranteed to win the Angsana Pavillion Festival this time.


    "Yes, it should undoubtedly be the Azure Dust Fruit. However, the small blue dot seems to represent something," Blaze Regret nodded slightly, his brow furrowed.


    "Who cares what it is? We''ll know when we get there," Sky Nasrul said excitedly.


    After pondering for a while, Blaze Regret finally gave up studying the map, but that small blue dot remained like a needle in his heart.


    By now, dusk had fallen. After resting for a night, they quickly headed towards the place marked on the map.


    Walking through the quiet and dark forest, a faint white mist swirled around their bodies. Apart from the occasional sound of branches breaking, the only sound was their light footsteps.


    "Swish!"


    A red light flashed, and a massive lava wolf fell to the ground with a wail.


    "A second tier low level warrior tier grade lava wolf."


    While Red dug out its spirit core, Blaze Regret murmured. It seemed that the closer they got to that place, the stronger the spirit beasts they encountered became.


    "We''re almost there," Sky Nasrul muttered, wiping the sweat from his forehead.


    Blaze Regret raised his face, squinting as he looked at the faintly visible outline of the mountain peak in the distance.


    As the group passed through the forest, their view suddenly broadened. A towering mountain peak appeared clearly in their sight.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes slowly swept across the mountain peak, suddenly freezing on a protruding rock. There, a vibrant green vine was growing, with faint white specks among its leaves.


    "That should be the Azure Dust Fruit, right?"


    Rubbing his hands, Sky Nasrul''s face showed a trace of excitement. He immediately released the wind element, intending to use it to retrieve the vine.


    "Wait."


    Blaze Regret suddenly spoke up.


    "What''s wrong?" Sky Nasrul looked at Blaze Regret in confusion. The wind elemental beside him obediently halted its movement.


    "Don''t you find it strange? Although the Azure Dust Fruit has obvious effects on spirit masters, that doesn''t mean it has no effect on spirit beasts. So how has this Nine Dust Vine been preserved?" Blaze Regret said slowly.


    The Nine Dust Vine is where the Azure Dust Fruit grows.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Nasrul''s face turned pale. In his excitement, he hadn''t thought deeply about it. If Blaze Regret was right, there must be some terrifying presence nearby that kept the spirit beasts from devouring the Azure Dust Fruit!


    Hesitating for a moment, Blaze Regret scanned the surroundings before nodding at Red.


    "Arrooo~"


    Red dashed to the foot of the mountain, its claws extending and embedding deeply into the rock as it swiftly climbed upwards. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Despite climbing several dozen feet, no spirit beast appeared to hinder Red''s ascent.


    This scene did not ease Blaze Regret''s concerns. Instead, it made his frown deepen further.


    "Gulp!"


    Sure enough, as Red reached the Nine Dust Vine, an angry screech echoed from the mountain peak, causing the entire mountain''s temperature to plummet significantly.


    Immediately, a blue figure shot down from the summit. As it descended rapidly, dazzling ice crystals, carrying a chilling cold, fell between heaven and earth.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly as he finally understood what that blue speck represented.


    A high ranking warrior tier level spirit beast, an Extreme Ice Eagle!

 Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Extreme Ice Eagle 2

    "A second rank high ranking warrior tier level Extreme Ice Eagle?"


    Reflecting the descending blue figure in his eyes, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but exclaim in shock.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Extreme Ice Eagle, plummeting like a meteor, fixed its sharp gaze on the small figure on the cliffside. Its beak opened, and a beam of icy light instantly shot out.


    "Boom!"


    Red released its grip, falling briefly before grabbing onto another rock crevice. The icy beam swept across the cliffside, blossoming like an ice flower.


    Cold wind mixed with ice shards slapped against Red''s face, igniting a fierce fighting spirit in its eyes.


    Seeing Red''s gaze, the Extreme Ice Eagle''s expression turned furious. In its perception, the Scorching Flame Cat was nothing more than a tiny ant, yet it dared to look at it with such defiance.


    With a sudden flap of its icy wings, the Extreme Ice Eagle flew towards Red on the cliffside, its claws instantly enveloped in cold, hard ice that shimmered with a frosty glow.


    "Arrooo!"


    Feeling the cold wind rushing towards it, Red unapologetically swung its sharp claws, clashing directly with the Extreme Ice Eagle. The immense force transmitted through the impact made its Cat paws go numb and nearly caused it to fall.


    This terrain offered it no advantage whatsoever.


    After a solid collision, the Extreme Ice Eagle retreated into mid air. A layer of solid ice spread along its right wing, and moments later, its broad ice wing, sharp as an icy blade and carrying a bone chilling cold, once again slashed fiercely towards Red.


    Spirit Skill: Cold Wing Blade!


    Watching the battle above, Blaze Regret''s face grew tense, his nerves stretched to the limit.


    The terrain where Red stood was extremely perilous. If the Extreme Ice Eagle succeeded, Red could likely fall directly down, and the Scorching Flame Cat in mid air would be no different from a helpless fish to the eagle!


    The blazing sun struck the Extreme Ice Eagle''s wing blade, causing its body to momentarily stall before the sharp wing blade split it in two, exploding behind the eagle.


    "Boom!"


    The Extreme Ice Eagle''s wing blade slashed into the cliffside like lightning, instantly filling the air with dust and obscuring the view.


    "No way..."


    Sky Nasrul stared wide eyed in disbelief. Could it be that Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat was killed in one strike by the Extreme Ice Eagle?


    "Whoosh!"


    As the smoke cleared, a massive crack appeared where the Extreme Ice Eagle had struck, but there was no trace of blood.


    Everyone''s attention shifted, and they saw Red clinging tightly to the back of the circling Extreme Ice Eagle. Its sharp claws were deeply embedded, causing the eagle to emit continuous angry screeches.


    "Awooo!"


    Tossed around by the Extreme Ice Eagle, Red seemed to grow angrier. Its tail lifted slightly and instantly became razor sharp. Amidst the eagle''s thrashing, Red''s tail violently slashed downward.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of ice shattering echoed as a bloodline appeared on the Extreme Ice Eagle''s back. A trickle of crimson blood seeped along its feathers, intermittently dripping down.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Extreme Ice Eagle''s intelligence wasn''t high. If it had continued to fly and launch long range attacks, Red would have been in grave danger. The close range strike just now had given Red the perfect opportunity to counterattack.


    Red''s sharp claws gripped tightly onto the eagle''s body, while its tail blade slashed down repeatedly, causing blood to rain down.


    Fire based attacks are extremely lethal to ice type spirit beasts.


    "Is it going to succeed?"


    Everyone stared unblinkingly at the sky, a glimmer of hope appearing in their hearts.


    The Extreme Ice Eagle hovering in mid air finally could no longer endure the pain in its back. With a swift turn, it crashed hard against the mountainside, attempting to crush the Scorching Flame cat into pulp.


    As shards of ice flew, the claws of the Scorching flame cat dug fiercely into the rock, while its sharp tail blade sliced through the air in a fiery arc, slashing at the ice wings of the Extreme Ice Eagle.


    "Crack!"


    With the sound of shattering, the ice wings of the Extreme Ice Eagle were cut in half. Amidst a painful wail, its body plummeted towards the ground.


    "Blaze Regret, extract the spirit core of the Extreme Ice Eagle. It will be useful later."


    At this moment, Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    With a slight flicker in his eyes, Blaze Regret subtly nodded. Although he didn''t know what Master Magi intended to do, he knew that it would definitely benefit him.


    Leaping down from the peak, the Scorching flame cat''s claws spread open, and red flames emanated as it slowly approached the Extreme Ice Eagle.


    "Roar!"


    Coldly watching the dying struggle of the Extreme Ice Eagle, the Scorching flame cat''s claws, quick as lightning, stabbed violently towards its head. If this strike landed, it would surely pierce a bloody hole through the Extreme Ice Eagle''s head!


    However, just as the Scorching flame Cat''s fiery claws were about to touch the Extreme Ice Eagle''s head, a fierce gust of wind suddenly burst out from the ground, aiming at its abdomen.


    It was a withered yellow tree branch, exuding an extremely terrifying aura. If it struck, the Scorching flame Cat would certainly be splattered with blood on the spot.


    "Step back. You are no match for this Extreme Ice Eagle. If you leave now, I will not attack you during the Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Hearing the voice that reached his ears, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "Snow Amar?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s faces changed slightly as they looked at the figure emerging from behind.


    With a faint smile, Snow Amar walked over, gently waved his hand, and three gray spirit cores fell in front of Blaze Regret. Each spirit core emitted the aura of a mid level warrior.


    "What do you mean by this?" Blaze Regret asked coldly, staring at Snow Amar.

    "Just a minor skirmish. The three fools from the Met family had just broken through to become spirit warriors, yet they dared to come and trouble me. I had no choice but to reluctantly deal with them," Snow Amar said with a smile, lightly stroking his face. However, his smile was filled with undisguised menace.


    "Three spirit warriors?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s pupils slightly contracted, seemingly in disbelief. The three brothers from the Met family had lingered at the ninth level of spirit novice for a long time, preparing for this Angsana Pavilion Festival. Their breakthrough here made sense.


    But Snow Amar claimed he had single handedly taken down all three of them!


    Those were three genuine mid level warrior tier spirit beasts!


    "You took the Restrained Qi Pill?"


    After a moment of silence, Blaze Regret slowly spoke.


    With his sharp eyes, he naturally noticed that Snow Amar was not just newly promoted but was a true third level spirit warrior!


    "That''s right." Sky Amar nodded with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul turned pale.


    The Restrained Qi Pill could forcibly seal a spirit master''s spirit portal, lowering their aura. However, its side effects were severe, after using it, the spirit portal couldn''t absorb spiritual energy for a month. This meant Snow Amar would remain a third level spirit warrior during this time, unable to break through.


    "That''s cheating!" Sky Nasrul gritted his teeth.


    "It seems the rules don''t prohibit the use of the Restrained Qi Pill, do they?"


    Greedily eyeing the Nine Dust Vine on the mountain wall, Snow Amar looked at Blaze Regret with a faint smile. "By the way, hand over the Ice Lotus Master''s map as well, and you can leave. I''m in a good mood today and don''t want to kill anyone, so consider yourselves lucky."


    It was clear that Snow Amar did not regard Blaze Regret and his companions as a threat.


    Although the Scorching Flame Cat Beast was currently a high level warrior tier spirit beast, it didn''t matter. His Withered Wood Demon was already a third level mid level warrior tier spirit beast!


    If he wasn''t eager to obtain the Azure Dust Fruit sooner, he would have commanded the Withered Wood Demon to kill all three of them outright instead of wasting words on these ants.


    "What if I refuse?" Blaze Regret''s eyes gradually became sharp.


    "You dare defy my commands?" Snow Amar stared coldly at Blaze Regret, a hint of murderous intent in his voice.


    He had thought that after revealing his true strength, Blaze Regret and the others would flee in panic. But to his surprise, Blaze Regret not only didn''t run but also dared to confront him head on!


    "What kind of thing are you to give orders?"


    With a slight lift of his eyelids, Blaze Regret looked at the cold faced Snow Amar with a mocking smile on his lips. "Get lost!"


    "Ungrateful wretch!"


    Snow Amar''s face turned grim. Instantly, a dozen withered branches shot out from the soil around him, writhing like the tentacles of an octopus.


    Amid a rustling sound, the Withered Wood Demon emerged from the ground, its hollow eye sockets staring indifferently at the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast trying to escape.


    "Swish!"


    In the next moment, a dozen withered branches from the Withered Wood Demon plunged deeply into the ground and then suddenly pierced through the body of the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast, causing blood to spurt out in all directions.


    With its mouth slightly open, the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast convulsed briefly before collapsing powerlessly, with a large portion of the ground beneath it stained red with blood.


    From a distance, the branches protruding through the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast''s body looked like two ghastly claws spread wide.


    "Now, it''s your turn."


    With Snow Amar''s cold voice, the branches retracted into the ground and then reappeared in front of the Withered Wood Demon. As they rapidly moved, they intertwined densely, spreading toward the Scorching Flame Cat Beast.


    Spirit Technique: Branch Entangle!


    Branch Entangle, one of the signature spirit techniques of the Withered Wood Demon, could bind enemies and then collaborate with the demon''s other techniques to kill them in one move.


    "Swish!"


    The Withered Wood Demon was fast, but the Scorching Flame Cat Beast was even faster. In just a few flickers, it moved out of the range of the Withered Wood Demon''s branches, leaving the ground punctured by the yellowed branches, a testament to the narrow escape.


    "Do you think you can get away? Withered Wood Demon, Withered Spike!"


    A branch from the Withered Wood Demon lifted, and three sharp spikes slowly emerged from it. Then, they rapidly spun and shot toward the Scorching Flame Cat Beast with a piercing whistle.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    The Scorching Flame Cat Beast''s tail flicked up and swung like a blade, deflecting the three spikes, which were then embedded in the ground at an angle.


    "Boom!"


    At that moment, branches whizzed out from around the Scorching Flame Cat Beast, forming a circular fence like structure that trapped it within.


    "Blaze Regret, does my Withered Spike Formation catch your eye?"


    Watching the Scorching Flame Cat Beast futilely crash against the branches, unable to escape, a chilling smile appeared on Snow Amar''s face.


    "Since you seek death, I can only oblige you. Withered Wood Demon, finish it off!"


    "Roar!"


    Surrounded by tree roots, the Scorching Flame Cat''s body was ablaze, fiercely crashing against the roots. A series of dull thuds echoed continuously.


    However, the Withered Wood Demon''s roots were the hardest part of its body. Even with Scorching Flame Cat using its tail blade in Flame Breath mode, it couldn''t break through the Withered Wood Demon''s thorny array in a short time.


    "Stop struggling. Just accept your death."


    Snow Amar''s disdainful voice rang out. Dozens of the Withered Wood Demon''s branches instantly extended, like tentacles, sweeping above Scorching Flame Cat. With a piercing wind, they violently stabbed down like lightning.


    Seeing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul looked utterly bleak. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Blue Flame Demon Cat 2

    Earlier, they had witnessed how sharp the Withered Wood Demon''s branches were, capable of piercing through the hard ice armor of the Extreme Ice Eagle. Let alone the Scorching Flame Cat, which focused on attack and speed.


    "Bang!"


    The branches continuously whistled down, and dust instantly shrouded the entire thorny array, obscuring the scene inside.


    Snow Amar''s lips curled into a faint smile.


    An alchemist, after all, can only refine pills. When it comes to real life and death combat, killing them is as easy as killing a chicken.


    However, as the dust settled, the expected scene of blood splattering did not appear. Instead, a Blue red flame shield suddenly appeared around Scorching Flame Cat. The sharp branches were stuck at the edge of the shield, unable to advance an inch.


    Seeing this incredible scene, the smile on Snow Amar''s face froze.


    "Did you really think my life bound spirit beast only had this much power?"


    As Blaze Regret''s faint laughter fell, the Blue red shield suddenly shattered, along with the long branches of the Withered Wood Demon. The airwaves, mixed with splintered wood, swept outward.


    "Roar!"


    A Blue red Cat paw stepped lightly out of the airwaves, and a bewitching figure appeared under the astonished gazes of the onlookers.


    At this moment, Scorching Flame Cat''s body was over a meter long, slender and elegant. Its Blue red fur swayed gently in the wind, but the most striking feature was its Blue eyes, which exuded an enchanting allure mixed with cold indifference.


    "This... this isn''t the Scorching Flame Cat!" Sky Nasrul swallowed hard and spoke slowly.


    Beside him, Sky Diana''s breathing was slightly rapid. The pressure emanating from Scorching Flame Cat now was far beyond what it had been before!


    "What kind of spirit beast is this?" Snow Amar stared intently at the Blue red figure, momentarily losing his composure.


    He had been so close, so close to winning. What on earth was this damned thing?


    Blaze Regret looked calmly at Scorching Flame Cat and smiled faintly.


    Scorching Flame Cat, having refined the Heavenly Crystal Fire, managed to draw out a flame hidden within its body. That flame was the very essence detected by Blaze Regret''s spirit sense in the spirit measuring orb.


    With the assistance of Master Magi, Scorching Flame Cat had refined that flame, causing it to mutate once again into the extremely rare Blue Flame Demon Cat!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. It couldn''t be said that it mutated again; Red was originally a high level novice tier grade Scorching Flame Cat. Somehow, Blaze Regret''s father had forcibly suppressed it to a low level Novive tier grade, and it appeared in the form of a Flame Cat.


    "Now, what do you think your chances of winning are?" Blaze Regret asked softly, his eyes slightly shifting to the somewhat twisted expression on Snow Amar''s face.


    "Hmph, it''s just a change in appearance. A first tier high level warrior Tier grade spirit beast is still trash in front of my Withered Wood Demon!" Snow Amar roared angrily, "Withered Wood Demon, use Leaf Light and finish it in one move!"


    "Boom!"


    The broken branches of the Withered Wood Demon retracted and deeply embedded themselves in the ground. Threads of faint green spiritual energy, visible to the naked eye, flowed along the branches'' veins into its body.


    As the spiritual energy surged in, deep green leaves began to emerge on its withered body, radiating an immense vitality.


    "Leaf Light, is it?" Blaze Regret''s pitch black eyes narrowed slightly.


    Pale green spiritual energy gathered in front of the Withered Tree Demon, eventually forming a beam of green light that shot out forcefully.


    The moment the beam was released, the Withered Tree Demon''s aura instantly weakened. This spiritual technique required an immense amount of spiritual energy, but its power was equally formidable.


    Red lifted its head, its bewitching eyes reflecting the incoming beam of light without a trace of fear. Instead, the spiritual energy within its body surged even more violently.


    "Swish!"


    Red crouched low, then suddenly leaped up. Blue red spiritual energy emanated from its body, converging in front of it and condensing into three balls of Blue fire in an instant.


    The Blue fire quietly rotated, each ball containing spiritual energy far stronger than that of the blazing sun! S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blue Flame Demon Fire, a spiritual technique comprehended by the Blue Flame Demon Cat upon breaking through to the warrior tier Grade, allowed its body to temporarily levitate, creating devastating attacks on its enemies!


    "Whoosh!"


    The rotation speed of the three balls of Blue fire suddenly increased. Red''s figure shot out like a bolt, with Blue red spiritual energy surging around it. A tail of light trailed behind it, the speed astonishingly fast.


    Below the towering mountain peaks, two differently colored streaks of light swiftly passed by, colliding fiercely.


    "Boom!"


    A tremendous impact sound echoed, and an invisible shockwave instantly swept out, creating a sizable crater in the ground within a radius of several dozen meters.


    "Is it dead?" Snow Amar''s eyes turned sinister.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the next moment, a streak of Blue red light shot out from the point of impact, causing Snow Amar''s expression to become incredibly grim.


    The three balls of Blue fire in front of Red had shrunk considerably due to the earlier expenditure, but they were more than enough to deal with the weakened Withered Tree Demon.


    As expected, Red instantly pierced through the trunk of the Withered Tree Demon. When it landed on the ground, the eerie Blue flames ignited the large hole in the demon''s abdomen, making it let out a horrid roar.


    "Blaze Regret, stop right there!" Snow Amar''s face twisted as he glared at Blaze Regret, threatening him.


    "Oh."


    Blaze Regret nodded, and Red turned around, its claws wrapped in Blue red flames, slashing out. In the next moment, the Withered Tree Demon''s body was split in two; the lower half remained standing while the upper half slowly slid down, lifeless.


    "You dare court death!"


    Snow Amar lunged at Blaze Regret like a madman, but the latter didn''t even glance at him. With a light wave of Blaze Regret''s hand, Snow Amar''s body was sent flying backward. A snapping sound that only he could hear echoed in his mind.

 Chapter 85: Chapter 85 The Second Spirit Beast 1

    "You dared to destroy my spirit portal..."


    Feeling the emptiness of his spiritual energy within, Snow Amar lay on the ground in a daze, his lips trembling incessantly.


    A spiritual master with a destroyed spirit portal would find it nearly impossible to repair without incurring an enormous cost, a cost that even the lifetime earnings of a Spirit Lord master couldn''t cover, let alone a small family like the Snow family.


    Seeing Snow Amar''s ashen face, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but feel a sense of satisfaction rather than sympathy.


    This guy had shown no remorse after killing the three spirit beasts of the Met family brothers. Now, having his spirit portal destroyed was nothing short of poetic justice.


    "Ugh!"


    Happily running towards Blaze Regret, Red''s body transformed back to the size of a Scorching Flame Cat before leaping directly onto Blaze Regret''s shoulder.


    Feeling appreciative of the convenience of the Bewitching Cat''s spirit technique, Blaze Regret walked over to the Extreme Ice Eagle and, following Master Magi''s instructions, extracted its spirit core.


    In mid air, a wind elemental swirled a long vine, whistling downwards. With a gentle toss, the vine, bearing nine Azure Dust fruits, landed in Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "These Azure Dust Fruits don''t all need to be handed over to the Angsana Pavilion, right?" Sky Nasrul stared intently at the vine, his eyes burning with desire.


    A Nine Dust Vine can bear up to nine Azure Dust Fruits. Once the fruits ripen, the vine will wither and lose its vitality. Moreover, the Nine Dust Vine has very stringent growth requirements. After withering in one year, a new vine will grow in the same place the next year. Transplanting it elsewhere is futile, as it won''t survive.


    Thus, whenever Azure Dust Fruits appear in the outside world, they inevitably spark fierce competition due to their immense value to spirit masters.


    "You''ve seen the situation. Just giving the Angsana Pavilion one fruit will guarantee our win in this year''s Angsana Pavilion Festival." Blaze Regret glanced at the dazed Snow Amar lying on the ground and smiled faintly.


    "But the Azure Dust Fruit is a key requirement for the Angsana Pavilion. Will they be unhappy if we don''t give them more?" Sky Diana asked worriedly.


    "We risked our lives for these. It''s not up to the Angsana Pavilion to decide how we distribute them. Besides, they didn''t specify that we must obtain Azure Dust Fruits. Giving them one is a favor; not giving is our right," Blaze Regret said firmly.


    "Exactly, Brother Blaze is right."


    Sky Nasrul, unable to contain his joy, accepted a Azure Dust Fruit from Blaze Regret. Seeing this, Sky Diana could only smile wryly and take one as well.


    Without a second thought, Blaze Regret tossed the remaining fruits into the Void Realm Stone, meaning six Azure Dust Fruits belonged to him. This wasn''t stinginess; although Azure Dust Fruits are rare, a Spirit novice can only refine one. More than that, and they can''t absorb it. As for him, he could refine all six without any concerns.


    The number needed by a Spirit warrior differs from that of a Spirit novice.


    "By the way, about this map..."


    As if he finally remembered something, Blaze Regret took out the map he had acquired from the Angsana Auction House from the Void Realm Stone. After studying it for a while, his brows furrowed slightly.


    "Where exactly does this map point to? It doesn''t seem like this place is in the Black Forest."


    Sky Nasrul, holding the fragrant Azure Dust Fruit, leaned in and shameles began examining the map as well.


    Sky Diana blinked her beautiful eyes and, after a moment, cautiously said, "Could it be that the map is upside down?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was taken aback. Then, he slapped his forehead in frustration and flipped the map over. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sure enough, the rivers from before instantly turned into mountain peaks, and those peaks transformed back into rivers. The described scene was indeed the place where they currently stood!


    "Damn, sis, you''re amazing," Sky Nasrul said, staring at Sky Diana in astonishment.


    "Actually, from where I was standing opposite you, I saw the correct map," Sky Diana said, a bit embarrassed.


    "Let''s go check it out together."


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret put the map back into the Void Realm Stone and then slowly walked towards the other side of the mountain.


    "He actually wants us to go with him?" Sky Nasrul was somewhat shocked. This was left by the Ice Lotus Sage, yet Blaze Regret wasn''t afraid they''d become greedy and turn against him?


    Sky Diana, however, just smiled faintly and chased after Blaze Regret.


    Not that they wouldn''t harbor any greed, but even if they did, what could they do? With Blaze Regret''s strength, killing them would be a piece of cake.


    Watching their backs, Snow Amar struggled to move but didn''t even have the strength to sit up. The shattering of his spirit portal was far worse than breaking a few ribs.


    At that moment, a palm sized mottled spider suddenly crawled out from the grass, each of its legs brimming with venom that made one''s scalp tingle.


    "No... don''t come any closer!"


    The mottled spider crawled closer and closer, causing Snow Amar to scream in horror. His once handsome face twisted grotesquely in fear.


    "Why is it so cold here?" Sky Nasrul, shivering slightly, hugged himself as they walked at the foot of the mountain, his teeth chattering a bit.


    "It seems like we''re mostly in the right place," Blaze Regret said, pursing his lips. He then instructed Red to jump down. In its Blue Flame Demon Cat form, Red used its tail blade to continuously chisel away at the mountain wall.


    "Clang!"


    The rock easily shattered, but where the rock broke, it suddenly revealed a bit of icy blue color. As the tail blade struck it, it left only a white mark, without even dislodging a single ice chip.


    "Ice layer?" Both Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s eyelids twitched.


    At this point, they were a hundred percent certain that the Ice Lotus Sage had a significant connection to this place!

 Chapter 86: Chpater 86 The Second Spirit Beast 2

    "Whoosh!"


    Unwilling to give up, Red charged at the ice again, cloaked in its flame aura with three orbs of demonic fire spinning around it. It crashed into the ice fiercely, but still, no mark was left on the hard ice.


    "It''s that tough?" Blaze Regret was a bit speechless. Without using its flame aura, Red''s Blue Flame Demon Cat Fire could easily pierce through the body of a Withered Wood Demon. Although part of that was due to fire type spirit beasts restraining wood type spirit beasts, fire also has a strong restraining effect on ice.


    "Place your hand on it," Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    With lips gently pressed together, Blaze Regret opened his right hand and slowly touched the ice layer. The cold temperature made him shiver, and instinctively, a scorching flame surged from his palm.


    "Sizzle!"


    In an instant, the flame turned golden, dazzlingly brilliant. However, from Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s perspective, it still appeared as an ordinary flame.


    "It''s melting?" Sky Nasrul''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    The ice in front of Blaze Regret''s palm melted quickly, and the melting edges rapidly spread around. Soon, an icy passage appeared before everyone.


    "Hehe, it seems that pill Fire can melt this ice," Blaze Regret said with a subtle smile.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul nodded. However, as the latter was about to bravely step inside, the frigid air that emanated from within made him instantly recoil.


    "Damn, it''s impossible for anyone to stay in here," Blaze Regret said, his lips turning Blue, as if he had been frozen for hours in an ice cellar in just the blink of an eye.


    "You two find a safe place outside to refine the Azure Dust Fruit. I''ll go in and take a look," Blaze Regret said to them, then raised a flame shield and walked in.


    Seeing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul could only nod helplessly. Although they were very curious, their lives were more important.


    Inside the icy passage, Master Magi used Blaze Regret''s spiritual power to continuously emit flames, melting the ice in front of him.


    "Young one, it looks like your second spirit beast might be coming soon," Master Magi suddenly said with a grin, uttering a statement that left Blaze Regret completely puzzled.


    "Could it be that this land of ice harbors some kind of rare fire attribute spirit beast?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi ahead of him, somewhat puzzled.


    "Hehe."


    Master Magi chuckled softly and said leisurely, "Why limit yourself to spirit beasts of the same attribute? Where''s the fun in that? Experiment with different elements! Create a diverse lineup, and you''ll easily counter any element thrown your way." sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You... you must be joking." Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned and probed.


    It was common knowledge among all spirit masters that one could not tame spirit beasts of two different attributes beside spirit attribute that we have. Each person usualy have 1 spirit attributes. We determines which spirit attribute we have when we awakening our first portal and what attribute our first inborn spirit beast. My spirit attribute is fire, so i can only contract fire spirit beast only.


    Doing what you said would not only cause the spiritual power within to become chaotic but also make the spirit portals clash, potentially resulting in the destruction of the spirit portal.


    Not to mention, even summoning multiple spirit beasts of different attribute was unheard of. Even someone as powerful as Blaze Ash could only summon same attribute spirit beast!


    "Have I ever joked?" Master Magi turned back, looking at Blaze Regret with a half smile.


    With a slightly dry throat, Blaze Regret finally understood something, and his expression instantly became excited. "Master Magi, can you help me achieve this?"


    "Of course."


    Master Magi chuckled lightly, waved his sleeves, and a compass with multiple polygonal edges appeared in his palm. One corner of the compass seemed to have a flickering flame.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret stared at the compass in astonishment.


    "Do you know about spiritual techniques?" Master Magi did not answer Blaze Regret''s question directly but instead asked him.


    "Yes, my father practices a spiritual technique called ''Fire Burn,'' which can stimulate inner potential and unleash multiple attacks in an instant, easily enabling him to challenge opponents of higher levels."


    As Blaze Regret spoke unfaltering, he suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at the compass. "Don''t tell me this thing is also a spiritual technique!"


    After experiencing a book that could be a spirit beast and could even speak, Blaze Regret had come to somewhat believe that the compass could also be a spiritual technique.


    "Hehe, how could this thing be a spiritual technique?"


    Master Magi rolled his eyes at Blaze Regret as if looking at a fool, then gently tilted the compass, pointing at a diamond like object in the center. "This thing is the spiritual technique."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly. Isn''t this the same thing!


    "This item is called the Sacred Crystal. Legend has it that when the Spirit Beast Continent was formed, fragments fell from the sky, and this crystal contains the essences of sixteen different attributes," Master Magi chuckled.


    "With this item, can I do what you just mentioned?" Blaze Regret''s breathing became rapid, and he couldn''t wait to grab the Sacred Crystal immediately.


    Taming spirit beasts of different attributes and being able to summon multiple attribute at once, just thinking about it felt exhilarating!


    "Of course," Master Magi nodded with a smile.


    "Say it, what do you want me to do?" Blaze Regret gritted his teeth and asked with difficulty.


    This old fox wouldn''t give something for nothing; whatever he wanted Blaze Regret to do would certainly not be simple.


    "I have already sensed the location of a book page. After we return, you will need to accompany me on a journey to retrieve it by any means necessary," Master Magi''s face finally showed a hint of seriously, making it clear that these book pages were extremely important to him.


    "That''s all?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh bitterly. "Even if you didn''t give me the Sacred Crystal, I would still help you. Don''t forget, this was our initial agreement."

 Chapter 87: Chapter 87 The Second Spirit Beast 3

    Raising his eyebrows slightly, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Master Magi''s eyes. It seemed the initial gamble had paid off.


    Their relationship had grown to include something beyond mere transactions.


    "Here, take it."


    With a wave of his hand, Master Magi sent the Sacred Crystal from the center of the compass into Blaze Regret''s hands.


    "How do I use this thing?"


    Fascinated by the multicolored glow of the Sacred Crystal, Blaze Regret asked curiously.


    "Place it on your spirit portal."


    Master Magi''s voice echoed. Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment before gently pressing it to his chest. In the next instant, a flash of light appeared, and the Sacred Crystal vanished into thin air.


    "Gone... vanished?" Blaze Regret was stunned.


    "Feel the changes within your body," Master Magi smiled.


    Blaze Regret closed his eyes slightly. The second spirit portal within his body had formed when he broke through to Spirit warrior. It used to be surrounded by flames, but now it felt empty, as if it had no attributes at all. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Can I now tame spirit beasts of other attributes?" Blaze Regret was overjoyed. He believed that if he could achieve this, he would be the only one on the entire Spirit Beast Continent who could!


    "Not yet, but soon," Master Magi said with a grin.


    With a push of his hand, the last layer of ice in the tunnel melted away completely, revealing an extremely spacious cave before Blaze Regret. Countless blue bubbles floated in the air, occasionally making soft, cooing sounds.


    If one observed closely, they would see that each blue bubble contained a tiny, wriggling figure, looking incredibly cute. If Sky Diana were here, she would probably be overwhelmed with delight.


    "Ice Sprites?"


    Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat. Ice Sprites, low level warrior grade spirit beasts, had gentle natures and wouldn''t attack unless provoked.


    Amidst the many Ice Sprites stood a towering blue ice pillar, roughly ten feet wide. Within it, something seemed to be frozen.


    "Master Magi, is this a spirit beast?" Blaze Regret asked in amazement, running over and startling the Ice Sprites into scattering.


    "Tsk tsk, no wonder the Ice Lotus Sage went to such lengths to create an ice cave. It turns out it was for this little one," Master Magi said with great interest, smacking his lips.


    "You mean this entire ice cave was created by the Ice Lotus Sage?" Blaze Regret exclaimed in astonishment.


    "Hehe, never underestimate the capabilities of a Spiritual Sage. For this little one, creating an ice city would be well worth it," Master Magi replied with a chuckle.


    With a flick of his sleeve, golden light spread out, and as it touched the ice pillar, an Ice Control Irenix with closed eyes appeared in Blaze Regret''s view.


    "What is that?" Blaze Regret asked, his heart beating faster. This spirit beast might just accompany him as he grows!


    "It''s an Ice Control Irenix. The moment it emerges from its chrysalis, it becomes a high level warrior grade spirit beast. Of course, that''s not particularly surprising. What''s extraordinary is that the Ice Control Irenix has an innate affinity for all forms of ice. In nature, there''s a terrifying form of extreme ice that only it can refine," explained Master Magi slowly.


    "Extreme ice?" Blaze Regret repeated the unfamiliar term several times.


    "Extreme ice is the coldest type of ice on the continent. It can instantly freeze even the hottest flames, let alone other types of spiritual energy. This cold can slow down a Spirit Master''s energy flow, temporarily weakening their strength. For those with weaker abilities, it can even freeze their spirit portals directly!"


    Beside that,this Ice Control Irenix have a Bloodline of ice Phoenix. It have high chance to evolve to Ice Phoenix.


    Master Magi explained with a smile, clearly holding the Ice Control Irenix in high regard.


    "Incredible," Blaze Regret said, rubbing his hands in excitement. "I''ve decided, this will be my second spirit beast!"


    In the cold ice cave, Blaze Regret sat cross legged before an ice pillar, his eyes slightly closed. His fair, almost feminine like hand gently pressed against the ice pillar, as pale blue icy energy slowly flowed towards his second spirit portal.


    "Crack!"


    Master Magi''s face was solemn as he clenched his fist, causing the spirit core of the Extreme Ice Eagle to shatter into a cloud of ice powder. The powder then drifted out and merged with the icy energy. In an instant, Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal was covered with layers of solid ice.


    At this moment, the two spirit gates within Blaze Regret''s body were close together: one surrounded by blazing flames, the other frozen solid. At the center of the spirit gates, a radiant sacred crystal shimmered with bright luster.


    "Ding!"


    The ice pillar disappeared, fully exposing the Ice Control Irenix within. When its pale blue eyes opened, the ice crystals surrounding it collided, emitting a crisp sound.


    Only then did Blaze Regret see the true appearance of the Ice Control Irenix. Its large icy wings spread out, and a cold wind instantly swept through the area. Numerous sparkling ice crystals circled its body, looking exceptionally beautiful.


    "Blaze Regret, form the spirit contract."


    You have only one chance. Try to connect with it soul.


    Master Magi''s voice suddenly rang out.


    Staring blankly at the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment, then cautiously bite his hand and extended his hand. His blood cover with spirit energy and then spread towards the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Ding!"


    A trace of confusion flashed in the Ice Control Irenix''s eyes. It feel a stranger soul want to communicate with it. Its wings flapped, and amidst the howling cold wind, its figure shot backward. Wherever it passed, all Ice Spritess shrieked and fled.


    "Master Magi, it''s not working!"


    Seeing the Ice Control Irenix flapping its wings and trying to escape, Blaze Regret''s face immediately filled with anxiety.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a beam of blue light shot out from Blaze Regret''s Void Realm Stone. It soared into the air and transformed into an ice lotus about ten feet in diameter. As the ice lotus spun, its icy petals began to bloom one by one.


    Seeing the ice lotus, the Ice Control Irenix sensed imminent danger and tried to flee. However, a powerful suction force erupted from the center of the ice lotus, pulling it directly inside.

 Chapter 88: Chapter 88 The Second Spirit Beast 4

    Hastily retrieving the map from his Void Realm Stone, Blaze Regret was astonished to find that the ice lotus mark in the lower right corner had disappeared. It seemed that the ice lotus in midair had originated from that mark.


    The petals of the ice lotus closed and then transformed into a streak of blue light, quickly merging into Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal.


    "Ah!"


    As the ice lotus entered, Blaze Regret immediately doubled over in pain. Pure white frost spread outward from him, extending in all directions.


    Inside his second spirit portal, the ice lotus was frantically absorbing his spiritual power. If this continued, he would eventually die from spiritual power exhaustion!


    "Hmph, a mere fallen spirit entity dares to touch my disciple!"


    Master Magi''s eyes flashed with cold light. He spread his hand and then clenched it fiercely. A golden beam of light enveloped Blaze Regret, instantly drawing out the chilling energy.


    "Who are you?"


    The ice lotus roared in surprise and anger. In an instant, several icy streams, carrying an extremely cold temperature, shot towards Master Magi from all directions.


    "Heh, I''m someone you cannot afford to provoke."


    Master Magi''s lips curved into a grin. He changed his hand seal, and a figure made of ice suddenly appeared above Blaze Regret''s head. The face of the figure was filled with pain.


    "You must be the Ice Lotus Sage," Master Magi said coolly.


    "Since you know who I am, why don''t you bow down and worship me? Do you want me to freeze your entire clan to death?" Although the ice figure was curious about Master Magi''s identity, it still shouted menacingly, albeit with underlying fear.


    "Oh, really? Are you that powerful?" Master Magi raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. Then, he suddenly clenched his hand, causing the golden beam of light to contract. Under the terrified gaze of the ice figure, it was compressed into a shower of icy fragments.


    "No!"


    With a wail, the ice fragments scattered, turning pitch black as they touched the ground.


    "Cough, cough!"


    Blaze Regret slowly straightened up, staring intently at the black ice fragments on the ground. He gasped, "Could this guy be the Ice Lotus Sage?"


    Master Magi smiled, but his smile was filled with disdain. "Ice Lotus Sage? Just a despicable scoundrel who would stop at nothing. Even in death, it couldn''t stay honest. If I weren''t here, your body would now belong to it."


    Blaze Regret opened his mouth, a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead. Only now did he feel a lingering fear.


    But in the next moment, his mood turned to joy. In his perception, the Ice Control Irenix was quietly resting in his second spirit portal, above a blooming, crystalline ice lotus.


    "Heh heh, you''ve really lucked out," Master Magi chuckled. "This ice lotus is formed from the Ice Lotus Sage''s lifetime spiritual power. Your Ice Control Irenix is currently a high level Tier Five spirit warrior. With this ice lotus, it can undergo another transformation and easily break through to the Imperial level."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes widened with excitement. "Can it happen right now?"


    If the Blaze family were to gain another spirit beast at the Imperial level, it would be equivalent to having three powerful spirit masters. Even the formidable Snow family wouldn''t be able to compete with them.


    "What are you thinking? The spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Sage is far beyond what the Ice Control Irenix can currently handle. It might be eligible when it reaches the ninth tier of the spirit warrior level," Master Magi said with a helpless laugh.


    Even so, Blaze Regret was still very satisfied. Although the Blue Flame Demon Cat was still at the first tier, the Ice Control Irenix had already reached the fifth tier. According to the usual classification, he should now be considered a fifth tier spirit warrior. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Of course, Blaze Regret knew his own limitations. Even though his spiritual power was much more robust than that of an ordinary spirit warrior, fully controlling the Ice Control Irenix was not an easy task. If the Ice Control Irenix frequently used its spiritual skills, his spiritual power would be exhausted quickly.


    His current level of spiritual power was comparable to that of an ordinary third tier spirit warrior. Strictly speaking, he was still a first tier spirit warrior because the robustness of his spiritual power was not yet compatible with the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Ding!"


    The second spirit portal opened, and the dazed Ice Control Irenix flew out from the summoning array, flapping its ice wings and scattering pale blue ice mist.


    The fifth tier Ice Control Irenix only mastered two spiritual skills: Ice Wing Slash and Ice Feather. But each skill was of a high level spirit warrior grade, with destructive power far surpassing even the Red''s Blue Flame Demon Cat.


    "Woof!"


    Red ran behind the Ice Control Irenix with a mischievous grin. It extended its sharp claws, quickly swiping to snatch one of the ice crystals surrounding the Ice Control Irenix.


    The dazed Ice Control Irenix felt the sharp wind coming from behind. Its wings suddenly vibrated, unleashing an icy storm that sent the Red flying.


    "Bang!"


    Falling to the ground, the Red bared its teeth and waved its small claw vigorously at the Ice Control Irenix, clearly showing its displeasure.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret felt a surge of joy in his heart. The Red was now a Blue Flame Demon Cat, a breed far more powerful than the Scorching Flame Cat. Yet, the Ice Control Irenix had just flapped its wings, and the Red was sent flying. This was enough to prove its strength.


    "Now, it''s time to refine the Azure Dust Fruits."


    Letting the two spirit beasts play around, Blaze Regret took out six Azure Dust Fruits from his void realms stone, his eyes gleaming with excitement.


    After refining these Azure Dust Fruits, he would truly become a third tier spirit warrior. By then, even if the Ice Control Irenix used its spiritual skills recklessly, he would be able to sustain it!


    After that. Blaze Regret went out from the cave and meet Sky Diana and Sky nasrul already finish refine the Azure Dust Fruits.


    Let go. There nothing that need to do any more. Let go out said Blaze Regret to Sky Nasrul and Sky Diana.

 Chapter 89: Chapter 89 The Conclusiom

    Outside the Black Forest, the sky was approaching dusk. The weak sunlight scattered down but couldn''t even penetrate the thin mist, leaving only patches of light spots above the forest.


    "Take this pill," Alif Azlin said as she leaned down slightly, placing several pills into the palms of the Met family''s three brothers.


    Alif Azlin''s graceful figure was accentuated by her bent posture, creating a perfect curve. However, the Met brothers, despite the enticing scene, ignored it entirely. With dim eyes, they swallowed the pills silently, without saying a word.


    "Hehe, it seems that brat Snow Amar was quite ruthless," Mat Kun said with a faint smile as he glanced at the three brothers.


    "Mat Kun, just look at the people you''ve found!" An Nick, the manager of Catas Shop, said angrily. "Snow Amar was too vicious. Even after winning, he had to kill their life bound spirit beasts. Isn''t that overkill?"


    Behind Mat Kun, Black Metal and Hat Tu couldn''t help but feel a bit of pleasure at the miserable state of the Met brothers. Although they had also suffered a crushing defeat, their life bound spirit beasts had survived, allowing them to recover far more quickly than the Met brothers.


    "Hehe, Old An, you understand the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest. Why are you acting like a child, nitpicking over such things?" Mat Kun laughed.


    In his view, in this Angsana Pavilion Festival, the only ones qualified to be Snow Amar''s opponents were the Met brothers. Now that they had suffered a crushing defeat, Snow Amar''s strength was enough to dominate the Black Forest.


    "Met Said, Met Saed, Met Sauk, don''t worry. I will use all the resources at my disposal to find each of you a stone type spirit beast stronger than the Rock Monster," An Nick said angrily, gritting his teeth as he tried to comfort the three brothers. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The eldest of the three, Met Said, gave a bitter smile at these words. Even if they found spirit beasts stronger than the Rock Monster, they wouldn''t be their life bound spirit beasts and would lack any emotional connection. However, given the situation, he had no choice but to accept it. An Nick''s actions were already quite righteous. If anyone was to be blamed...


    Thinking of Snow Amar, Met Said''s eyes filled with a murderous frenzy, and his tightly clenched fists made a creaking sound.


    "It seems like someone else is coming out," Alif Azlin said softly as she watched three people emerge slowly from the forest.


    Seeing this, Mark breathed a sigh of relief.


    He had already regretted his earlier decision. Blaze Regret and his companions were descendants of two major families. If they met with the same misfortune as the Met brothers, he would have no place left in Veloria City to continue his career.


    Black Metal, however, looked puzzled. How had Blaze Regret and the others survived an encounter with the Extreme Ice Eagle? This didn''t fit into his calculations at all!


    "Sister Alif Azlin, these are all the herbs and medicinal plants we''ve collected," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile, handing over two void realms stones to Alif Azlin.


    "Ninth Heaven Leaf, Moon Spirit Flower, Withered Cold Bamboo... these are all rare herbs and medicinal plants," Alif Azlin said with a slight smile on her pretty face. But not far away, Black Metal and Hat Tu looked exceptionally grim.


    Many of these herbs and medicinal plants had been snatched from them by Blaze Regret, so before coming out, they could only gather a few random herbs to hand over to the Angsana Medicine Pavilion.


    "How come there''s only one Azure Dusk Fruit?" Alif Azlin asked, taking the snow white Azure Dust Fruit from the pile of herbs. She was initially delighted but then slightly puzzled.


    "Do you even need to ask? The remaining eight are obviously in Snow Amar''s hands," Mat Kun said with a smug smile.


    The map to the Azure Dust Fruit wasn''t exclusive to Hat Tu. Before the three teams entered the Black Forest, Mat Kun had secretly given Snow Amar an identical map. Without it, Snow Amar would never have found the location on his own.


    "It looks like our Batas Shop is sure to win this Angsana Pavilion Festival," Mat Kun laughed confidently.


    "Don''t be so sure," came a response.


    Mark, standing to the side, slowly said, "How can you be so sure that Snow Amar got all eight Azure Dust Fruits?"


    "I just am," Mat Kun sneered arrogantly. He knew Snow Amar''s strength inside out. Not only Blaze Regret and his companions, but even if the Met brothers joined them, they wouldn''t be able to touch Snow Amar.


    The Azure Dust Fruit in Blaze Regret''s hand must have been left behind by Snow Amar, which was how the people from the Atlas Shop got it by luck.


    Thinking this, Mat Kun cast a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret. "Just picking up what others leave behind? Is that all your father taught you, Blaze Ash?"


    Mat Kun harbored an intense hatred for Blaze Ash. If he could, he would have destroyed the Blaze family for destroy the Batas Shop. Thus, he had no good feelings toward Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly and said calmly, "If we were of the same strength, I would demonstrate everything my father taught me on you, one by one."


    "You¡ª!"


    Mat Kun''s eyes flashed with anger. "Sharp tongued brat! All you can do is talk big. If you''re so capable, why not win this Angsana Pavilion Festival?"


    "How do you know we won''t win?" Blaze Regret retorted.


    Mat Kun responded with nothing more than a cold laugh.


    Win? Keep dreaming!


    "Swish!"


    At this moment, a short tree at the edge of the Black Forest shook, making a rustling sound. Several small, hidden spirit beasts hurriedly fled in fright.


    "Snow Amar is coming out!"


    Black Metal and Hat Tu both looked excited and provocatively glanced at Blaze Regret. Even if you won against us, the ultimate victor will still be us!


    "Mark, you lost again," Mat Kun said with a faint smile

 Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Disqualification

    Hearing this, Mark felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. In the central region of the empire, he had lost to Mat Kun more than once. Was he going to stumble here again?


    If Mat Kun won this time, Mark feared his days as the owner of Atlas Shop would be numbered.


    Only he knew how abundant the resources for the winning side would be. With those resources, the Batas Shop would become unprecedentedly powerful, perhaps even crushing the Atlas Shop.


    "Hiss!"


    However, when that figure appeared, everyone gasped in shock, and even Sky Diana almost screamed.


    Snow Amar was covered in congealed blood, looking extremely horrifying. His face was like that of a tattered rag doll, filled with ghastly scars.


    "What happened?" Blaze Regret was stunned. He had indeed destroyed Snow Amar''s spiritual gate, but he hadn''t been this ruthless.


    "Blaze Regret, I will kill you!"


    Snow Amar raised his head, revealing his terrifying face, and with full hatred, he rushed towards Blaze Regret, roaring furiously, his voice echoing through the sky.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s shock deepened. Was it really Blaze Regret who had brought Snow Amar to such a state?


    Especially Mat Kun, whose expression was particularly complex. A trace of unease rose in his heart.


    The direction in which things were developing seemed to be completely out of his control.


    Snow Amar roared as he approached, while Blaze Regret''s expression remained calm, seemingly unaffected. The fiery creature on his shoulder leaped down, and with a light swipe of its little paw, Snow Amar staggered back as if struck by a boulder.


    "Do you want to die?"


    In a flash, Blaze Regret moved in front of Snow Amar, his fingers glowing with flames, stopping at Snow Amar''s throat. The sharpness of his move was enough to easily pierce through Snow Amar''s neck.


    Feeling the terrifying energy, the anger in Snow Amar''s heart dissipated, replaced by deep fear. His body, which had been ready to lunge forward again, stiffened slightly.


    He had no doubt that if he dared to move again, Blaze Regret would kill him on the spot!


    "Blaze Regret, what do you think you''re doing?"


    At this moment, Mat Kun finally snapped back to his senses. He glared coldly at Blaze Regret and spoke in a chilling tone.


    "Sister Alif Azlin, you saw what happened. Can you announce the results now?"


    Ignoring Mat Kun, Blaze Regret lowered his fingers and calmly walked back to his original position, under Snow Amar''s gloomy and fearful gaze.


    Alif Azlin was momentarily stunned but then nodded slightly and was about to announce the results when Mat Kun suddenly interrupted.


    "So, the nine Azure Dust Fruits are all with you. What about the remaining eight?" Mat Kun''s tone was filled with interrogation.


    Seeing this, Sky Diana''s delicate face showed a hint of worry. It was clear that Mat Kun, having lost, was now trying to make an issue out of the Azure Dust Fruits.


    "I distributed them," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "Distributed them?"


    Mat Kun sneered, "Blaze Regret, you have a lot of nerve. Don''t you know that the most important thing in the Angsana Pavillion Festival is to obtain the Azure Dust Fruits? How dare you distribute them privately. Are you blatantly disregarding our Angsana Pavilion? Miss Alif Azlin, I propose we disqualify Blaze Regret and his team. The rewards for the winner should go to Snow Amar."


    "On what grounds are you disqualifying us?" Sky Nasrul angrily glared at Mat Kun. Over the past few days, they had nearly lost their lives multiple times just for this reward, and now Mat Kun was casually suggesting handing over their rightful reward to Snow Amar?


    "Sister Alif Azlin, if I remember correctly, we didn''t beg Angsana Pavilion to participate in this Angsana Pavilion Festival, did we?" Blaze Regret turned his head to look at Alif Azlin.


    "Yes, that''s correct," Alif Azlin responded with a faint smile.


    "In other words, this is merely a fair transaction. Only spirit novice can enter the Black Forest, and obtaining the Azure Dust Fruit guarded by a mid tier third grade warrior level Extreme Ice Eagle isn''t something just anyone can do, right?" Blaze Regret continued.


    Hearing this, Alif Azlin''s face remained cheerful, showing no anger despite Blaze Regret directly pointing out the essence of the matter.


    In the past, Angsana Pavilion had sent numerous spirit novice into the Black Forest to obtain the Azure Dust Fruit. Most of those who entered were completely wiped out, and the few who managed to escape were gravely injured.


    In three days, even if they started breaking through upon entering, their spirit beasts wouldn''t reach the level needed to contend with the Extreme Ice Eagle, unless...


    Someone used a Suppression Pill.


    But the price of a Suppression Pill was exorbitant, one pill was as valuable as a Azure Dust Fruit. Even with its use, there was no guarantee of success. Over the years, only one team had ever brought out three Azure Dust Fruits, and that was due to sheer luck when the Extreme Ice Eagle was breaking through and less mobile. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So, even without Angsana Pavilion''s organization, we could have entered on our own, killed the Extreme Ice Eagle, and obtained the Azure Dust Fruit. This event is merely an opportunity," Blaze Regret stated calmly.


    "Indeed," Alif Azlin smiled but then suddenly seemed to remember something, exclaiming in surprise, "Wait, did you just say you killed the Extreme Ice Eagle?"


    Mat Kun, Mark, and the others were slightly taken aback. The Extreme Ice Eagle was a mid tier third grade warrior level spirit beast. With Blaze Regret and his team''s strength, how could they possibly kill it?


    It was evident that Blaze Regret was currently a second grade spirit warrior, while Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul were merely ninth grade spirit novice. The idea that they could kill the Extreme Ice Eagle was simply impossible!


    "A second grade spirit warrior?"


    Snow Amar''s heart surged with hatred. Blaze Regret must have refined the Azure Dust Fruit to break through so quickly!

 Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Essense Milk

    "It''s not us; it''s just him alone..."


    Sky Diana pointed at Blaze Regret somewhat sheepishly. She and Sky Nasrul had merely watched from the sidelines, not even having the chance to intervene.


    Instantly, a flicker of surprise crossed everyone''s eyes.


    Of course, if they knew how Red defeated the Extreme Ice Eagle, their surprise would only deepen.


    In the battle against the Extreme Ice Eagle, Red was completely overwhelming. If the fight had been on the ground, Red could have killed the Extreme Ice Eagle in an instant.


    "I''m not the only one who can kill the Extreme Ice Eagle."


    Blaze Regret cast a meaningful glance at Snow Amar. Mat Kun, standing behind Alif Azlin, felt a jolt in his heart; he had given Snow Amar the Suppression Pill. Under normal circumstances, it would have been fine, but the Angsana Pavilion Festival had a competitive nature, and his actions completely violated the event''s rules.


    "What''s going on?" Alif Azlin''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes as she looked at Mat Kun.


    "Snow Amar, you actually dared to take a Suppression Pill?" Mat Kun quickly shifted his thoughts and scolded Snow Amar coldly.


    Seeing this, Mark sneered. It was clear Mat Kun intended to put all the blame on Snow Amar.


    Snow Amar lowered his head, saying nothing, a trace of hatred flashing across his grim face. If it weren''t for Blaze Regret, he would have won by now. The rewards from Angsana Pavilion were truly astonishing.


    "Miss Alif Azlin, I still request that Blaze Regret be disqualified. His actions are too vicious. Look at Snow Amar''s face, it''s completely disfigured by him. This is the behavior of a demon!" Mat Kun said sternly.


    "Don''t say I have better things to do. Even if it were me, what could you do? Disqualify me? Can you represent Angsana Pavilion?" Blaze Regret responded coldly.


    "Exactly. Mat Kun, you''re not a child anymore. You should understand the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest," someone echoed.


    An Nick, who had been silent all this time, saw an opportunity to get back at Mat Kun and immediately followed up, a sense of satisfaction welling up in his heart.


    What a hypocrite. When I sought justice before, this old man acted indifferent and unconcerned. Now he''s getting all worked up? Does he think I''m dead?


    "Brother An, you have to understand, Old Brother Mat has a habit of double standards. He''s used to bullying others, but can''t stand being bullied himself," Mark chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.


    "Old man, are our three life bound spirit beasts not as precious as Snow Amar''s?"


    The three Met brothers erupted in rage, looking as if they wanted to tear Mat Kun and Snow Amar to pieces.


    Among the four great families, Met Intan was known for his fiery temper, and his offspring, including Met Said and the others, were no less fierce.


    Mat Kun opened his mouth to say something, but was promptly interrupted by Alif Azlin, who wore a displeased expression.


    "Angsana Pavilion has always been fair and just. We''ll deal with the Suppression Pill matter later. For now, let''s distribute the rewards," she said.


    Mat Kun opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, seeing Alif Azlin''s sudden cold demeanor, he could only close his mouth resentfully, a subtle chill flickering in the depths of his eyes.


    "Each person from the Batas Store and Catas Store will receive a portion of Essence Milk."


    Alif Azlin lightly flicked her slender fingers, and with a flash of white light, several small bottles containing milky white liquid fell into the hands of Snow Amar and the others.


    Essence Milk?


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but be moved.


    Essence Milk can only be produced in underground salt crystal caves, and such caves are very rare. In the entire Veloria City, only the Angsana Pavilion Auction has access to one, and its production is extremely limited. It is a precious resource that diminishes with use.


    This spiritual substance can nurture a spirit master''s spirit portal, speeding up the recovery of spiritual power permanently, making it immensely valuable.


    Taking the small bottle of Essence Milk, everyone showed expressions of joy, except for Snow Amar. His hand trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with a murderous intent, as if he wanted to crush the bottle.


    Without a spirit portal, what use is this thing!


    "Next, it''s your turn."


    Alif Azlin waved her hand, and three more bottles of Essence Milk fell into the hands of Blaze Regret and the others. Holding the exquisite small bottle, Sky Nasrul''s face showed some confusion.


    "We get the same thing as them?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but ask.


    Seeing this, Black Metal''s face immediately showed a gloating expression. First place, yet the reward is just Essence Milk?


    "Of course not."


    Alif Azlin smiled slightly. "This is just a bonus. Your actual reward is a high grade warrior grade spirit crystal for each of you."


    "Spirit Crystal, high grade warrior grade?" Sky Nasrul''s eyes gradually brightened. His wind elemental had only reached mid grade warrior level after his breakthrough, but a high grade spirit crystal could elevate his wind elemental''s combat power to a new level.


    A single high grade warrior level spirit crystal costs at least fifty thousand gold coins. Even the four major families would be reluctant to spend such a large sum on one.

    Holding the spirit crystal given by Alif Azlin, Sky Diana''s bright eyes blinked slightly.


    Wind Spin Explosion is the signature spirit technique of the high grade warrior level spirit beast, the Gale Demon. It can condense a whirlwind that, upon reaching the enemy, explodes violently, unleashing immense destructive power.


    "My crystal contains the spirit technique Light Split Shadow?"


    Originally not expecting much, Blaze Regret''s face suddenly lit up with joy upon receiving the information from the spirit crystal.


    Light Split Shadow allows a spirit beast to split its body into two and then merge them back together, launching a fierce attack on the enemy. It''s particularly effective for evading spirit techniques.

    "I think something''s off, Mot Kira. This kid might have a significant background," the woman in red said coldly.


    "Background? Haha, no matter how powerful the people behind him are, he himself is just a second tier spirit warrior. Once we leave the Dark Market, we can find an opportunity to kill him. At that time, everything he has will be ours," Mot Kira said with a cold smile.


    "Exactly. Since he''s heading to the third floor, it means the items he buys will be very valuable. Killing an inexperienced rookie like him will only add to our wealth," Hilda Kana said, her voice laced with viciousness.


    Meanwhile, Blaze Regret had no idea what the two were plotting. He had already reached the fifth floor. Aside from him, there was no one else here, just rows of display cases standing quietly. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How am I supposed to trade for these items?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.


    "Do you see the small slot in front of the counter? Insert your token there," instructed Master Magi, looking very experienced.


    Approaching one of the counters, Blaze Regret carefully inserted his token. Suddenly, thirty golden stars appeared on the crystal counter, and after a brief flicker, two of them turned green.


    "This should mean that your token contains three hundred thousand gold coins, and this item is worth twenty thousand. The corresponding amount will be automatically deducted after you make the purchase," Master Magi explained in a deep voice.


    Three hundred thousand...


    Hearing this number, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned. Even with the Blaze family''s financial resources, they couldn''t come up with such a large sum of gold coins all at once.


    At that moment, he suddenly felt as if he were being sponsored by someone.


    After wandering around the fifth floor for a while, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but marvel at the vast collection of treasures in the Black Horn Tower, though he felt slightly disappointed.


    Most of the items for sale on the fifth floor were pills and spirit crystals, with a few spirit beasts encased in light spheres. However, these things were no longer scarce to him.


    Just as he was about to step onto the final floor, Blaze Regret''s gaze suddenly fixed on the left wall.


    Hanging on that wall was a massive tortoise shell, about a roughly 3.3 meters wide, with a pale blue sheen that flickered intermittently, causing the surrounding space to alternately brighten and dim.


    "This thing looks pretty sturdy."


    Blaze Regret quickly walked over and gently touched the outer side of the tortoise shell. The cool touch was transmitted through his fingertips.


    "Roar!"


    Red claws emerged, burning with fierce Blue flames, and then fiercely slashed at the tortoise shell. However, not even the slightest mark was left.


    "Don''t waste your strength. It''s not just your little Flame Cat; even Kartis Kai''s Demon Thunder Steed wouldn''t be able to break this shell."


    Master Magi smiled faintly and said, "This item is the shell of a Black Spirit Turtle after its death, known as the Black Spirit Shell. It is incredibly hard. Judging by its sheen, this Black Spirit Turtle must have been a third rank high level lord before it died. Therefore, its shell can withstand a full force attack from a fifth rank high level lord grade spirit beast."


    Seeing the fiery look in Blaze Regret''s eyes, Master Magi couldn''t help but laugh and then said, "Kid, don''t get your hopes too high. If you were to use it, this shell could only withstand attacks from warrior level spirit beasts, far from its former capacity."


    "So, it''s unbreakable below the lord level?" Blaze Regret wasn''t disappointed; his eyes remained as bright as ever.


    "You could say that," Master Magi nodded slowly.


    Taking out his token, Blaze Regret unhesitatingly slid it into the small gap below the Black Spirit Shell. With a click, the shell fell, hitting the ground with a loud thud.


    The spirit masters on the lower floors of the Black Horn Tower were all stunned, looking upwards. However, none dared to scold, as anyone who could enter the fifth floor was a figure they couldn''t afford to offend.


    "What was that noise?" Mot Kira squinted in confusion, holding a necklace made of flame shell beads.


    "Who knows? Forget about it. Just keep an eye on the entrance. We can''t let that kid slip out without us noticing," Hilda Kana shook her head, continuing to carefully examine the items on the counter.


    "Whoosh!"


    Blaze Regret exhaled lightly and gripped the Black Spirit Shell, trying to lift it. Despite the sweat forming on his forehead, the shell didn''t budge an inch.


    "Foolish."


    Master Magi smirked, "This Black Spirit Shell weighs at least four hundred pounds. There''s no way you can lift it."


    As he spoke, Master Magi pointed his finger, and golden light gathered at his fingertip. It then transformed into countless dazzling beams of light, scattering and surrounding the Black Spirit Shell, rotating rapidly.


    With the light swirling around it, the Black Spirit Shell slowly rose, as light as a feather, and moved in front of Blaze Regret.


    "Don''t just stand there, quickly drop a bit of your blood on it," Master Magi reminded the slightly dazed Blaze Regret.


    Snapping back to reality, Blaze Regret pressed the Red Flame''s claw against his fingertip, making a small cut. Immediately, a drop of fresh blood oozed out and fell onto the tortoise shell.


    "Buzz!"


    Upon absorbing Blaze Regret''s blood, the Black Spirit Shell vibrated and then began to spin rapidly around him, forming vivid blue afterimages that seemed almost tangible.


    "I have completely erased the Black Spirit Turtle''s aura. From now on, this shell can only be controlled by you," Master Magi said calmly, though a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.


    It was clear that erasing the original aura of the spirit beast was a very exhausting task. Even someone as powerful as Master Magi struggled with it, let alone other spirit masters.


    Otherwise, the price of this Black Spirit Shell would be even higher.


    50 Powerstone Bonus Chapte

 Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Being Follow

    Seeing the original thirty stars reduced to twenty, Blaze Regret didn''t feel the slightest bit of regret. Such a life saving item, even if it were priced at a hundred thousand gold coins, would fetch a sky high price outside, which was to be expected.


    Satisfied, Blaze Regret pulled down the token and stored the Black Spirit Shell in his Void Realms Stone before turning to head to the sixth floor.


    "What the heck is this?"


    The moment Blaze Regret stepped into the sixth floor, he gasped. In the center of this final level was an enormous spirit beast, its terrifying form causing Blaze Regret to curse involuntarily.


    The spirit beast resembled a Tiger, with slightly sharp fangs that glistened with an extremely sharp light, as if they could pierce through the hardest iron.


    "A spirit beast puppet?"


    A hint of surprise appeared in Master Magi''s eyes. "I didn''t expect such a small Dark Market to have something this valuable."


    "And what is that?"


    Having just left his family, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a bit speechless. He now realized that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, knowing very little about the outside world.


    "A spirit beast puppet is a method of refining the corpse of a spirit beast into a puppet. A spirit master only needs to drip their blood into the spirit core of the puppet to refine and control it," Master Magi explained patiently.


    Hearing this explanation, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up. This thing was even more powerful than the Black Spirit Shell.


    Watching Blaze Regret rush over, Master Magi couldn''t help but smile and shake his head. This spirit beast puppet had been a genuine lord grade beast in its lifetime, and its value was incredibly high.


    Sure enough, as soon as Blaze Regret inserted the token into the slot beside it, he was stunned. The densely packed green stars that lit up made his head spin.


    "One million three hundred thousand?! Why doesn''t Dark Spirit Tower just go rob someone!" Blaze Regret roared in his mind.


    "Come on, this is a lord grade enforcer. One million three hundred thousand is already quite reasonable," Master Magi said with a calm smile. "Stop staring at that spirit beast puppet. The one next to it might be more suitable for you."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret turned his head and saw a mantis shaped spirit beast puppet leaning beside the massive bull shaped one. However, it looked rather feeble.


    "This..."


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but roll his eyes. This thing wasn''t even in the same league as the previous one!


    "The Wind Splitting Mantis, an eighth rank high level Imperial, isn''t good enough for you?" Master Magi teased.


    With no other choice, Blaze Regret pulled out the token. The next moment, his brows furrowed deeply because only eight green stars lit up.


    "I thought something felt off. Turns out this spirit beast puppet was botched during its refining," Master Magi mused.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret felt utterly speechless and was about to pull the token out.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s exasperated expression, Master Magi chuckled. "I never said this spirit beast puppet couldn''t be repaired."


    Blaze Regret''s outstretched hand froze, and a sly smile appeared on his face. This was exactly what he had been waiting to hear!


    Don''t forget to buy the list i already give you before. I will teach you something new before we go adventure.


    "Alright, go ahead and see if there''s anything else of value here. Leave this spirit beast puppet to me."


    Master Magi, fully aware of Blaze Regret''s intentions, laughed and scolded him.


    The night sky was serene and profound, adorned with countless stars. Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the night clouds, leaving a long, beautiful arc of light before vanishing into the horizon.


    As he stepped out of the Dark Spirit Tower, Blaze Regret sensed numerous gazes scrutinizing him from behind. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he cautiously navigated through several streets before finally stepping out of the Dark Market''s main gate.


    It was already late at night. Walking on the silent streets, the surroundings were desolate. Occasionally, a cold wind blew by, adding a touch of chill to the night.


    "Persistent bastards."


    Sweeping a glance behind him from the corner of his eye, Blaze Regret helplessly shook his head. He didn''t want to make a move, but others were intent on taking action against him. Sure enough, Mot Kira and Hilda Kana were determined to cause him trouble tonight.


    However, just two third tier spirit warriors, aren''t they a bit too confident?


    "Heh, this kid is really a weakling. We''ve been following him for so long, and he still hasn''t noticed. He deserves to fall into our hands," Mot Kira sneered, staring at Blaze Regret''s back.


    "I''ve got my eyes on his Flame Cat. It''s so beautiful. Once we skin it and make it into fur, it''ll look amazing. Be careful when we strike," Hilda Kana said, eyes filled with greed.


    "Don''t worry, trust my skills," Mot Kira replied with a sinister laugh.


    After walking a few hundred meters more, Blaze Regret abruptly stopped. He lifted his face, his gaze as sharp as a sword, pointing directly to the top of a building on the left.


    "Since you''re here, why not show yourself?" Blaze Regret''s calm voice carried a hint of coldness.


    Seeing this, Mot Kira and Hilda Kana grinned. Fool how long you take to sense us following you just now. I give you a chance, give me all item you have and item that you buy ata the Dark Spirit Tower. If not you can die here today. Choose wisely.

    Just after Blaze Regret said, Red swifly attack Mot Kira and Hilda kana. Before the attack hit Mot kira and Hilda kana a beast block Red attack.


    "Ghost Faced Scorpion"


    I did not expect you have an rare spirit beast. Blaze Regret a bit shock but remain calm. It still can''t possed danger to him.

 Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Spirit Beast Food

    "Finish this quickly; I don''t want to waste any more time!" The atmosphere shifted as Red sensed the seriousness of the situation.


    He crouched low before suddenly leaping into the air. Blue red spiritual energy radiated from his body, gathering in front of him and condensing into three fiery orbs in an instant. The blue flames rotated silently, each sphere pulsating with spiritual energy far greater than that of the blazing sun!


    "Blue Flame Demon Fire!"


    With a whoosh, the rotation speed of the three orbs surged. Red shot forward like a lightning bolt, enveloped in a torrent of blue red energy. A shimmering tail of light trailed behind him, the speed astonishingly fast.


    As Red unleashed his attack, the Ghost Faced Scorpion retaliated with its Demon Piercing Stinger.


    "Boom!"


    A deafening impact reverberated through the air, and an invisible shockwave erupted, shattering parts of the city wall.


    Whoosh!


    In the blink of an eye, a streak of blue red light shot forth from the point of impact, causing Mot Kira''s expression to darken with dread.


    How could this happen? You''re just a second grade spirit warrior! Mot Kira struggled to comprehend the unfolding events before him.


    Red swiftly dispatched the Ghost Faced Scorpion. Mot Kira attempted to recall his creature, but it was too late. He coughed up blood as the Ghost Faced scorpion met its demise.


    With the Ghost Faced Scorpion defeated, Blaze Regret and Red vanished from sight. Moments later, Blaze Family guards arrived at the scene, only to find an empty space where the battle had taken place, surrounded by the debris of shattered walls.


    The following morning, Blaze Regret awoke to the commanding voice of Master Magi resonating in his mind. "Prepare yourself; I will teach you something before we embark on our adventure."


    The back mountain belonged to the Blaze family. Master Magi handed Blaze Regret a beginner''s recipe for Spirit Beast Food. As he glanced over the instructions, Blaze Regret understood why Master Magi had asked him to gather various items, including a hand mill.


    Blaze Regret requested Red to train and hunt spirit beasts, emphasizing the importance of not only collecting their cores but also bringing back their corpses for processing into meat.


    While Red engaged in his training, Blaze Regret settled onto the ground, pulling out various tools and materials from his void realm stone. He began to prepare beginner Spirit Beast food for Red, keen to follow Master Magi''s example.


    As Master Magi demonstrated the process, Blaze Regret diligently took notes, eager to absorb every detail. The tools he used were small and straightforward, including a pestle, a hand mill, and a small knife. These instruments allowed him to slice the ingredients, grind them into granules, or even powder, making the production of spirit beast food more efficient.


    The materials he gathered were vibrant and nutrient rich: herbs, fruits, vegetables, spices, and even soil, each carefully selected to cater to the tastes of various spirit beasts. Unlike ordinary food, spirit beast food was designed to accelerate a spirit beast''s recovery and, with prolonged consumption, could enhance their attributes significantly.


    The higher the grade of the spirit beast food, the more substantial the benefits.


    Certain special types of spirit beast food even boasted unique effects, making them highly sought after. However, crafting high grade spirit beast food required an extensive array of materials, in depth knowledge, and more intricate production processes, which naturally led to a lower success rate.


    Under Master Magi''s guidance, Blaze Regret had already learned the fundamentals of making spirit beast food and gained valuable insights. The only drawback was that he had only mastered the simplest recipes so far.


    Three essential steps were involved in making spirit beast food:


    1. Memorize the Recipe: This included the entire content and production process, names, proportions, and the timing for adding each ingredient. The water content of the materials also played a crucial role in affecting the final taste of the food.


    2. Gather Necessary Tools: For basic spirit beast food, simple tools like a pestle and hand mill sufficed; however, creating higher grade food required more sophisticated equipment.


    3. Collect the Ingredients.


    At the very first moment, Blaze Regret weighed the materials. Each material had a specific ratio that couldn''t be more or less, otherwise, it would affect the taste and effectiveness.


    After weighing, Blaze Regret began processing the materials, slicing some, grinding others into powder, and so on. He completed all these tasks with remarkable speed.


    Once all the preparations were done, Blaze Regret built a simple stove with stones and started making spirit beast food.


    With such rudimentary conditions, he could only make relatively low-grade spirit beast food.


    Next, Blaze Regret used his spiritual power to adjust the heat.


    After achieving the perfect temperature, he began adding the materials to the pot in a precise order. At specific intervals, he introduced additional ingredients.


    During this meticulous process, neither the heat nor the sequence of the materials could be neglected, otherwise, it would affect the final quality and taste of the food.


    After about a quarter of an hour, a fresh fragrance began to emerge, signaling that the food was ready.


    Blaze Regret immediately extinguished the flame. After inspecting the color, aroma, and taste of the food, he nodded in satisfaction. It was a qualified batch of spirit beast food.


    Once the food cooled down, Blaze Regret formed it into granules. To prevent the food from getting damp, he sealed them in clay jars.


    At this moment, Red came running over pitifully, holding up her scarred paws. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After applying ointment to Red''s wounds, Blaze Regret let her rest for a while. After a quarter of an hour, he directed Red to continue her training and hunting.


    As for him, he buried himself in making more spirit beast food.


    This round of production took a full two hours. He only stopped when the sun was high in the sky. The results were naturally quite pleasing. At least Red''s spirit beast food for the next few days was secured.


    After cleaning up, Blaze Regret called off Red''s hunting and placed a bowl of spirit beast food in front of her.

 Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Hunter And Prey 1

    Although the effect of primary fairy food was minimal, its cumulative effect over the years would be very significant.


    A morning of strenuous training and hunting had nearly exhausted Red, but upon smelling the fragrance of the spirit beast food, Red tired spirit was instantly revitalized. Red eagerly ran to the food bowl and began devouring the food in large mouthfuls.


    "Red, does it taste good?" Blaze Regret squatted beside her, stroking her small head. This batch of spirit beast food was beef flavored, which was more suitable for beast type fairies.


    Red didn''t speak; It actions spoke for Red.


    In addition to slightly aiding the growth of spirit beast, primary spirit beast food also had the effect of restoring physical strength.


    After finishing it lunch, the previously listless Red became energetic and lively again, spontaneously immersing herself in training and hunting.


    Time passed slowly, and as the golden sun began to set in the west, the horizon was tinged with hues of red, signaling dusk.


    It was only at this time that Blaze Regret called off the training and hunting session.


    "Today''s training is over. You did very well. Here, this is your reward!" Blaze Regret, true to his word, tossed a Fire elemental beast core to Red.


    Roar.


    Red let out an excited low growl and swallowed the fire elemental beast core in one gulp. Okay let go back home and rest.


    After walking a few hundred meters more, Blaze Regret abruptly stopped. He lifted his face, his gaze as sharp as a sword, pointing directly to the top of a tree on the infront.


    "Since you''re here, why not show yourself?" Blaze Regret''s calm voice carried a hint of coldness.


    "Heh, the Blaze family''s little brat has quite the keen senses."


    Atop the tree, an old man with a sinister face was smiling at Blaze Regret. A black snake slides slowly on his hand, making a hissing sound.


    "Ghost Snake Elder."


    Staring at the old man, Blaze Regret felt a chill in his heart.


    The Ghost Snake Elder was a well known figure in Veloria City. With his chief spirit beast, the Ghost Venom Snake, he had instilled fear in countless spirit masters. Years ago, there were rumors of his sudden death, but now it seemed those were indeed just rumors.


    "Heh, just to deal with a junior, I didn''t expect even you to come."


    At this moment, from behind another building, a withered figure slowly stepped out. The twisted branches cast sinister shadows on the wall.


    "Snow Azrul."


    Seeing the person standing beside the withered wood demon, a cold glint flashed through Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "And there''s another one over there."


    The Ghost Snake Elder smiled, pointing to the distance. A pure Black wind Eagle flapped its wings, hovering in mid air. Its cold eyes looked down as if to pierce through Blaze Regret''s body.


    On the Wind Eagle''s back stood a young man with his hands behind his back, his expression quite indifferent.


    "Pit Rock," Snow Azrul bared his yellowing teeth in a grin.


    "Aren''t you afraid of the Blaze family''s revenge?" Blaze Regret said coldly.


    In the past, the Ghost Snake Elder wouldn''t have dared to act so brazenly, but now his calm demeanor was quite intriguing.


    "The person who hired us isn''t afraid of Blaze Ash," the Ghost Snake Elder replied, his smile never fading, maintaining a facade of friendliness. But everyone knew that smile concealed a deadly intent.


    "Batas Shop?" Blaze Regret seemed to suddenly understand something.


    "Congratulations, you guessed right."


    Pit Rock, who was above the Wind Eagle, said emotionlessly, "As a reward for guessing correctly, I''ll be the one to send you to your death." Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As he spoke, a whirlwind spun beneath his feet, allowing him to momentarily hover in the air. The Wind Eagle below him flapped its pristine white wings, generating gusts of wind as it dove towards Blaze Regret.


    As it swept through the air, feather blades formed around the Wind Eagle''s body. Each feather blade, sharp as a knife, tore through the air and shot downward.


    Blaze Regret''s pupils reflected the cold glint of the blades. His expression remained calm as a frigid aura suddenly surged forth, sweeping through the air and causing the feather blades to become encased in layers of ice, significantly slowing their speed.


    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix stared blankly at the approaching Wind Eagle. Its icy wings drooped slightly before it suddenly flapped them, releasing a flurry of icy feathers that collided heavily with the feather blades, ultimately shattering them all.


    "An ice type spirit beast?"


    Pit Rock''s eyes narrowed in disbelief as he hovered in mid air, supported by the cyclone beneath his feet.


    "Old ghost, didn''t Mat Kun say he was a fire type spirit master?" Pit Rock turned to the Ghost Snake Elder, his voice urgent.


    "A dual source spirit master, interesting." The Ghost Snake Elder''s old eyes narrowed, and a surge of killing intent suddenly intensified.


    In the Spirit Beast Continent, some spirit masters would unlock a completely different attribute when they opened subsequent spirit portals. These spirit masters were known as dual source spirit masters, and they were extremely rare. Triple source spirit masters were even rarer, perhaps appearing once in a millennium.


    Correspondingly, these spirit masters were far more formidable than ordinary ones.


    "Kill him!" Pit Rock''s ruthless voice echoed through the air.


    Fortunately, the Ice Control Irenix is only at the fifth tier. If it were to grow to the eighth tier, his first tier mid level Wind Eagle would be no match at all.


    This is because the ice type spirit beast''s restraining effect on wind type spirit beasts is too significant!


    "Swish!"


    The Wind Eagle swooped down, with storm energy swirling around its beak, emitting a sharp aura contained within.


    As the cold wind blew, lifting the hair on his forehead, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face.


    "Sorry, but the roles of hunter and prey are about to switch."


    The snow white Wind Eagle swooped down like a streak of light, the air ahead of it ripped apart by its sharp beak, producing a piercing sound.


    "Buzz!"

 Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Hunter And Prey 2

    Just as the Wind Eagle''s beak was less than half a foot away from Blaze Regret, a green tortoise shell suddenly appeared and spun rapidly. Instantly, a dull sound echoed, and the diving Wind Eagle was sent flying backward, swaying a few times before it could stabilize itself.


    "Shriek!"


    Blood covered its beak as the Wind Eagle''s mournful cries pierced the night sky, lighting up countless households.


    "How could this be?"


    Staring at the green tortoise shell surrounding Blaze Regret, Pit Rock looked as if he''d seen a ghost. But before he could issue another command, the Ice Control Irenix beside Blaze Regret moved, soaring into the sky, and tiny ice crystals slowly fell.


    "Return!" Pit Rock hurriedly called back the Wind Eagle, knowing that he had encountered a tough opponent today.


    "Return where?"


    Under Blaze Regret''s cold gaze, the edges of the Ice Control Irenix''s wings began to gather cold, hard ice, doubling the size of its wings. Then, like a sharp guillotine, it slashed out fiercely.


    "Arrogant."


    Snow Azrul snorted coldly, and the Withered Wood Demon beside him immediately waved its dried branches. Each branch extended rapidly, creating a scene that seemed to cover the sky.


    Seeing this, a cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. With a flip of his hand, a Flame red fruit appeared in his palm. He then threw it towards the branches enveloping the Ice Control Irenix from a distance.


    This fruit was called the Flame Burst Fruit, produced by the lord level spirit beast, the Flame Burst Tree. Similar to the Blue Demon Tree''s fruit, it could generate terrifying destructive power through explosions.


    However, unlike the Blue Demon Tree''s fruit, the Flame Burst Fruit is a true fire attribute fruit, significantly increasing its damage against wood type spirit beasts.


    Seeing the Flame red fruit flying towards it, the Withered Wood Demon instinctively sensed a fatal threat. Thus, its overwhelming branches quickly retracted. The Flame Burst Fruit, having missed its target, exploded in mid air.


    "Boom!"


    Scorching energy swept through, like a Flame blossom blooming in the sky.


    Though the Flame Burst Fruit missed, Blaze Regret''s face remained calm. His goal in throwing the fruit was to buy time for the Ice Control Irenix to finish off the Wind Eagle, and it seemed that he had achieved just that.


    Surrounded by ice crystals, the Ice Control Irenix swiftly caught up to the heavily injured Wind Eagle. Its sharp ice wings sliced through the Wind Eagle''s body effortlessly, like a knife through butter.


    The Wind Eagle''s pupils contracted sharply as it flew a dozen yards before its body split in two, falling helplessly to the ground. Blood poured out like a torrential rain, creating a bloody path on the ground.


    "Wind Eagle!"


    Pit Rock was furious and heartbroken. If the Wind Eagle had been in peak condition, it wouldn''t have been defeated so easily by the Ice Control Irenix. However, the Wind Eagle had first suffered a heavy blow from the Black tortoise shell, shattering its beak and causing immense pain.


    Focused only on escaping, it took no defensive measures, allowing the Ice Control Irenix to slice it in half effortlessly.


    "Swish!"


    At the moment the Ice Control Irenix killed the Wind Eagle, the ground beneath Blaze Regret''s feet suddenly cracked open. A massive figure burst forth, and a Snake claw, glistening with a dark sheen, struck at him heavily.


    As Blaze Regret looked down, he could see the Ghost faced Snake''s crimson eyes.


    "Boom!"


    With a thunderous roar, Blaze Regret''s foot stepped on the Black tortoise Shell, propelling him into the air. At the same time, the sound of rustling wind arose as a series of withered tree branches shot towards him, intending to pierce through his body.


    Blaze Regret opened his palm once more and threw another Flame Burst Fruit. This time, the fruit was aimed beneath the Black tortoise shell.


    As the Flame Burst Fruit exploded, the surging energy blast swept through the area. Blaze Regret clung tightly to the turtle shell, which propelled him into the sky before landing him on the back of the Ice Control Irenix. The branches shooting towards him were instantly reduced to dust.


    The reason Blaze Regret chose to detonate the Flame Burst Fruit in this manner was that if he had targeted either the Withered Wood Demon or the Ghost faced Snake directly, he would have been attacked by the other. Although the Black tortoise shell was tough, it was not agile. Any misstep could have turned him into a corpse within seconds.


    Looking at the cracks in his palm caused by gripping the turtle shell, Blaze Regret grimaced. He then glanced downwards and found that the explosion had left only a deep pit and some wood chips. There was no trace of the Ghost faced Snake.


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened. With a wave of his hand, the Black tortoise shell shot out like a broad shield, halting in front of the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Whoosh!"


    A sharp whistling sound rang out as a long Snake tail struck the turtle shell with immense force, pushing both the shield and the Ice Control Irenix back several yards.


    "Cunning brat."


    On the side of a tall tree, the Ghost faced Snake clung tightly to the tree branch. Its rider, the Withered Wood Elder, wore a sullen expression.


    Despite attacking twice, they had failed to kill Blaze Regret, who was merely a spirit warrior. This was a blow to the elder''s pride.


    Feeling the numerous branches approaching from below, a cold killing intent surged in Blaze Regret''s eyes. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ice Control Irenix, charge down!"


    Following the command, the Ice Control Irenix swiftly dove down, deftly dodging the incoming branches.


    "Old man, I was trying to ignore you, but you just had to push it."


    Eyeing Snow Azrul''s aged, gloomy face, Blaze Regret gently stroked the Void Realm Stone. The last Flame Burst Fruit appeared in his hand.


    These Flame Burst Fruits were obtained from the top floor of the Dark Spirit Tower. Each one cost forty thousand, an astronomical price for ordinary spirit masters. However, for Blaze Regret, who was about to embark on his training journey, no amount of gold coins in his token could compare.

 Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Hunter And Prey 3 (Bonus)

    "How do you still have more!"


    Panic finally appeared on Snow Amar''s old face. The Withered Wood Demon''s greatest weakness was its speed. If the Flame Burst Fruit were thrown their way, they would be nothing but sitting ducks.


    Thus, Snow Amar quickly looked behind him but saw the Ghost faced Snake still clinging to the tree branch and Pit Rock fleeing in the opposite direction. Despair filled his heart.


    "Brat, even if I die, I''ll drag you down with me!" Snow Amar roared with a ferocious expression. "Withered Wood Demon, Giant Wood Stomp, crush that brat into meat paste!"


    Tree roots rapidly coiled together, forming a massive foot. The Withered Wood Demon used its trunk to support its heavy body and stomped down towards the path the Ice Control Irenix was about to take.


    As the wind rushed from the front, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. The Scorching Flame Cat on his shoulder quickly reverted from its Cat state back into the Blue Flame Demon Cat. Using its tail, it wrapped around the Flame Burst Fruit and leaped down.


    "Rumble!"


    As the Ice Control Irenix forcibly altered its trajectory with Blaze Regret on its back, the Blue Flame Demon Cat flicked its tail, sending the Flame Burst Fruit rolling to the exact spot where the Withered Wood Demon was about to stomp. The Blue Flame Demon Cat itself transformed into a red light and was reabsorbed into Blaze Regret''s spirit portal.


    "Go stomp in hell!"


    Blaze Regret''s hearty laughter pierced the night sky. Behind him, a surging wave of fire, like a small mushroom cloud, rose into the air.


    Boom!


    The explosive fruit burst apart, and the withered wood demon''s hard trunk instantly shattered into pieces. Waves of faint red energy ripples spread out.


    A few moments later, both the withered wood demon and Snow Amar had disappeared from the scene. On the ground, weak flames burned on the chaotic pile of broken wood.


    "Do you still want to continue?"


    Blaze Regret leaped down from the back of the Ice Control Irenix, his cold gaze fixed directly on the Ghost Snake Elder.


    "Why not?"


    After pondering for a moment, the Ghost Snake Elder squinted his old eyes and grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth. "The power of the explosive fruit is indeed strong, but how many do you have left? Let me guess, there shouldn''t be any left in your space stone now, right?"


    "How do you know?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly, but a cold glint flickered in his eyes.


    "Because those three explosive fruits were sold to Dark Spirit Tower by none other than me," the Ghost Snake Elder laughed, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were a rabbit unable to escape.


    "So, stand still obediently, and I might leave your body intact as an explanation to Blaze Ash."


    As the Ghost Snake Elder''s sinister voice fell, the ghost faced Snake swiftly slide up the tree, brought up a large shadow, and thunderously descended toward Blaze Regret''s position.


    "Boom!"


    The shattered tree trunk struck the Black Tortoise shell, causing it to tremble. Blaze Regret, behind the shell, quickly retreated but was still shaken, causing his blood to surge and a sharp bloodstain to appear quietly at the corner of his mouth.


    "I''d like to see how many attacks that tortoise shell of yours can withstand."


    The Ghost Snake Elder''s eyes were icy. "Ghost faced Snake, use the Demon breaking Tail to crush this kid!"


    "Hiss!"


    The ghost faced Snake raised its tail, and a dense green spiritual energy quickly spread over it, making the entire tail look as though it had been soaked in poison. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the next moment, the ghost faced Snake''s green tail tore through the air, creating a green arc of light, and struck the Black Tortoise shell in front of Blaze Regret solidly.


    A loud thud echoed as the Ice Control Irenix, bearing the weight of the shell, was knocked back dozens of meters before it managed to stabilize. Behind it, Blaze Regret spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.


    Indeed, the Black Tortoise Shell could withstand a full strength blow from a Imperial grade spirit beast, but Blaze Regret himself was merely a spirit warrior. Even if the ghost faced Snake didn''t kill him, the immense force transmitted through the shell would soon shake him to death.


    "Boom!"


    Seeing that his attack was effective, the Ghost Snake Elder revealed a faint smile, then commanded the ghost faced Snake to continuously pound on the Black Torties shell. The heavy thuds echoed through the night, spreading for kilometers around.


    "It''s at its limit," Blaze Regret murmured to himself. As he was struck out again by the ghost faced Snake, he waved his hand, and the Ice Control Irenix transformed into a blue light, returning to the spirit portal. The Black Torties shell, after spinning a few times, was also stored back into the void realm stone.


    "Finally giving up the struggle, are we?" The Ghost Snake Elder smiled broadly. Just as he was about to let the ghost faced Snake deliver the final blow to Blaze Regret, a blade of energy wind sliced through the air, roaring towards Blaze Regret.


    "Heh heh, I knew you hadn''t left. Since that''s the case, I''ll leave this kid''s life to you," the Ghost Snake Elder said, looking up to see Pit Rock, his face twisted with murderous intent, with a storm demon floating beside him. It was the storm demon that had released the energy wind blade.


    This storm demon was much weaker than the Wind Eagle, only of mid eighth tier spirit warrior, but it was more than enough to kill Blaze Regret.


    Calmly watching the approaching energy wind blade, Blaze Regret softly chanted, "I told you from the beginning, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed. It''s just that before the hunter kills the prey, they always like to toy with them a bit."


    "Stop pretending to be mysterious," scoffed Pit Rock dismissively.


    "Crash!"


    Just as the energy wind blade was about to hit Blaze Regret, a metallic gleam flashed, and a hook like claw suddenly extended out, snapping shut and instantly shattering the energy wind blade.

 Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Hunter And Prey 4

    A colossal Wind Splitting Mantis, even larger than Blaze Regret, stood silently in front of him, its gaze indifferent. Though it hadn''t evolved, its eighth tier Imperial level strength was clearly evident to all.


    "What is this monstrous thing?" Pit Rock''s expression changed.


    Before he could react, the Wind Splitting Mantis shot into the sky and, with its sharp claws, sliced the Storm Demon into several pieces in an instant.


    "Whoosh!"


    Under Pit Rock''s horrified gaze, the Wind Splitting Mantis, like a whirlwind, swiftly passed through his body. Immediately, his body split into two halves and fell powerlessly to the ground.


    "This is bad!"


    The previously composed Ghost Snake Elder''s pupils contracted sharply. Seeing the Wind Splitting Mantis darting towards him, he hurriedly commanded the ghost faced Snake to burrow into the ground. A long path quickly bulged up and extended like lightning into the distance.


    The Wind Splitting Mantis, having missed its target, hovered silently above the pit, its wings vibrating rapidly and producing a buzzing sound.


    "Little one, should we give chase?" Master Magi asked with a smile.


    "He must die," Blaze Regret said coldly. The Ghost Snake Elder was a seventh tier spirit Imperial. Given time, he could break through to become a spirit lord, posing a significant threat to the Blaze family.


    After all, Blaze Regret was about to leave with Master Magi for training. Leaving such a menace in Veloria City would make him uneasy.


    "And there''s also Mat Kun," Blaze Regret muttered to himself as he lay on the back of the Wind Splitting Mantis, his eyes filled with killing intent as they sped off. "This person must be dealt with as well, or else..."


    "This time, I''ll handle it," Master Magi volunteered.


    He understood Blaze Regret''s nature. If Mat Kun remained alive, it would be a thorn in Blaze Regret''s side, disturbing his peace of mind even during his training.


    "Whoosh!"


    After Blaze Regret left the area, several streaks of red light whizzed through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving deep marks.


    "Damn it, does that brat Blaze Regret have a death wish, running around like this in the middle of the night!" Blaze Peter, with an anxious expression, jumped down from the back of the Flame Wing Lion and looked around. When he saw the blood on the ground, his face immediately turned pale.


    "It''s Blaze Regret''s blood," Blaze Ash walked over and sensed the fire attribute factors contained within it. He spoke softly, but then a hint of confusion flashed across his face. "Why is there also ice attribute spiritual power..."


    "Who cares about fire attribute or ice attribute, the important thing is, where is Blaze Regret!" Blaze Peter looked at the devastated forest, cursing under his breath while feeling a sudden shock. "What the hell happened here? And this huge pit, damn it, the broken wood on the ground seems to be from a Imperial level Withered Wood Monster."


    "No signs of life," Blaze Ash picked up a piece of broken wood and casually flicked it, watching as the particles fell from his fingers.


    "There''s a corpse over there," Blaze Peter looked into the distance and suddenly took a cold breath. "That person is Pit Rock, right? How did he end up like this, torn in half and dead so horribly?"


    The members of the Blaze family who rushed over all had shocked expressions. Spirit Imperial were already rare in Veloria City, and tonight, they were lying dead on the ground so casually.


    "Clean up the area, don''t leave too much evidence," Blaze Ash clapped his hands and calmly said, "The rest of you, disperse and if you find Blaze Regret, immediately communicate using the sound transmitting spirals."


    "Yes!"


    Countless members of the Blaze family dressed in white flooded into the streets, spreading out to every corner of Veloria City.


    Tonight, Veloria City was destined to be restless.


    The night forest was especially quiet. Under the twinkling stars, the moonlight was hazy, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently. Everything seemed so serene. However, in the next moment, the silence of the forest was instantly shattered.


    "Clang!"


    On the slightly damp ground, a mound of earth suddenly bulged. A sinister black figure drilled out from it, startling a few small sleeping beasts, causing them to scatter and flee.


    "Damn it, how does that kid have such a high level spirit puppet? Mat Kun, you''ve really put me in a tough spot!"


    On the back of a Ghost Faced Snake, the old Ghost Snake Elder patted the dust off his sleeves, cursing incessantly, "Luckily, I ran fast. Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble today. If I had known, I would have struck directly and killed him with one blow. None of this would have happened."


    This place was far beyond the range of Veloria City. The old Ghost Snake Elder believed that even a Spirit Lord couldn''t trace his tracks, let alone just a Spirit warrior. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "However, going back like this would make it hard to explain to Mat Kun. It''s better to find an opportunity tomorrow to ambush him and kill him before he releases his spirit puppet," a ruthless gleam flashed in the old Ghost Snake Elder''s eyes.


    "Swish!"


    Just as the old Ghost Snake Elder was about to turn around and head back to Veloria City from another path, a black shadow flashed like lightning, hovering in mid air and instantly blocking his retreat.


    "Senior Ghost Snake, delaying until tomorrow is so pointless. Today''s matters should be resolved today."


    On the back of a Wind Splitting Mantis, Blaze Regret looked down with a gentle smile. The fierce cold wind made his black robe flutter.


    "How did you follow me!"


    Stunned for a moment, the old Ghost Snake Elder''s face showed an incredulous expression as he exclaimed in surprise.


    "You should ask your Ghost faced Snake."


    Pointing at the tail of the Ghost faced Snake, Blaze Regret smiled faintly.


    The old Ghost Snake elder licked his parched lips with difficulty, and then his gaze shifted downward. He saw that, at some unknown time, a red bead had been embedded in the tail of the Ghost faced Snake, emitting a faint spiritual energy fluctuation.

 Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Hunter And Prey 5

    "The Top Bead of the Direction Tree?" The old Ghost Snake elder''s heart trembled. With his vast experience, he immediately recognized the item.


    Raising his aged face, the old Ghost Snake elder was quite moved. Could it be that when the ancient Ghost faced Snake struck the Black Torties Shell, Blaze Regret had already calculated that Pit Rock would come out to ambush, and afterward, he would seize the opportunity to escape?


    But how could that be? Just a young kid, how could he have such meticulous planning!


    The Ghost faced Snake''s tail merged, crushing the red bead into powder. The old Ghost Snake elder laughed angrily, "Good, very good. Kid, it seems I underestimated you. But are you so confident that you can keep me here today?"


    "How would I know without trying?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a smile.


    Hearing this, the old Ghost Snake elder''s face turned grim as he leaped off the Ghost faced Snake onto a tree branch, causing it to tremble slightly.


    The Ghost faced Snake then raised its long Snake tail and struck out violently. The sharp blade at the tip of the tail was a dark green color.


    "Snake Tail Needle?"


    Blaze Regret''s expression tightened slightly, and he immediately summoned the Ice Control Irenix, distancing himself from the battlefield.


    The Snake Tail Needle was the signature spiritual technique of the Ghost faced Snake. It could concentrate all its venom into the metal blade at the tail. This venom was potent enough to take down a spirit beast of the same level.


    Even with the Black Tortoise shell, Blaze Regret couldn''t completely ignore the poison of the Ghost faced Snake. A mere touch of the venom would be enough to incapacitate him, given his strength as a second tier Spirit warrior.


    "Clang!"


    The violent strike of the tail needle landed heavily on the crossed blades of the Wind Splitting Mantis. A ripple of light green poison quickly spread out, turning the branches and leaves it touched into a dark green color, which then disintegrated into powder when the wind blew.


    Although the Wind Splitting Mantis''s twin blades turned faintly green, being a spirit puppet, the poison didn''t harm it much.


    "Swish!"


    The extended its arms, and the sharp claws of the Wind Splitting Mantis brought forth a cold gleam, slashing horizontally at the Ghost faced Snake''s tail. With a clanging sound, sparks flew in all directions.


    With a painful screech, the Ghost faced Snake charged forward with a fierce expression. Its metal blade, infused with toxic spiritual energy, clashed repeatedly with the Wind Splitting Mantis''s blades.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    The sound of metal striking metal echoed, and Blaze Regret''s expression grew increasingly serious. Although the tier of the Ghost faced Snake was slightly lower than that of the Wind Splitting Mantis, it had one significant advantage: it could use spiritual techniques.


    The Wind Splitting Mantis, after all, was merely a spirit puppet and couldn''t retain spiritual energy within its body, making it incapable of performing spiritual techniques.


    "Heh, I told you, today, you won''t be able to kill me."


    The old Ghost Snake elder extended his withered right hand, surrounded by dark green spiritual energy. At the same time, the Ghost faced Snake delivered a heavy blow, sending the Wind Splitting Mantis flying backward. Immediately, its Snake tail lifted, and sharp venomous metal blade at it tail appeared out of thin air, swirling madly around it.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Ghost faced Snake flicked its long tail, and the venomous metal blade shot out instantly, piercing tiny round holes in the Wind Splitting Mantis''s wings.


    Seeing this, the Ghost faced Snake let out a pleased screech. Just as it was about to gather more venomous metal blade, the Wind Splitting Mantis soared into the sky. Then, like a falling missile, it plummeted rapidly and collided heavily with the Snake''s metal blade.

    "Bang!"


    Although the Ghost faced Snake was far stronger than the Wind Splitting Mantis, the impact didn''t break its metal tail. However, it did cause the Snake to retract its metal blade in pain, as it wasn''t immune to pain like the Wind Splitting Mantis.


    "Cut off its tail," Blaze Regret commanded coldly.


    The spread its arms and flew swiftly towards the Snake. Its cold, gleaming claws mercilessly slashed at the Ghost faced Snake''s tail, causing droplets of dark green blood to splatter.


    "Hmph, Ghost faced Snake, tear off its claws," the old Ghost Snake elder said with a venomous tone.


    Hearing this, the Ghost faced Snake''s limbs moved rapidly, attempting to turn around and pin down the Wind Splitting Mantis to tear off its sharp claws.


    "Stay put!"


    At this moment, Blaze Regret''s calm voice suddenly echoed, and a layer of solid ice emanated from the Ice Control Irenix in front of him, turning the grass and trees on the ground into sparkling ice sculptures.


    The ice spread to the feet of the Ghost faced Snake and quickly climbed upward.


    The Ghost faced Snake hurriedly lifted its limbs, shattering the ice instantly. But at that precise moment, the shining blades of the Wind Splitting Mantis had already slashed at its tail.


    "Slash!"


    Dark green blood spurted out as the Snake''s tail fell to the ground with a thud.


    Writhing in pain, the Ghost faced Snake flailed its broken tail wildly, forcing the Wind Splitting Mantis, which intended to slash a few more times, to retreat several feet.


    "It''s just a thoughtless puppet. Ghost faced Snake, use the Toxic Torrent and corrode it!"


    Seeing the severe injury of the Ghost faced Snake, the Ghost Snake elder''s voice was filled with venomous rage.


    The Snake''s broken tail came together slightly, gathering dark green energy. The Ghost faced Snake''s broken tail then hammered heavily onto the ground, releasing that decaying energy into the earth.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the next moment, the ground beneath the Wind Splitting Mantis seemed to transform into a dark green pool. As the pool churned, a roughly ten foot wide dark green pillar of water shot skyward, radiating an extremely terrifying, decaying aura.


    A dark green water column shot up with an astonishing speed. Around the water column, a foul smelling liquid seemed to drip down, causing any vegetation it touched to wither instantly.

 Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Hunter And Prey (Final)

    In mid air, the Wind Splitting Mantis'' wings vibrated fiercely, creating a buzzing sound. It then surged through the dark green water column, though half of its body had completely disintegrated, evidently corroded by the toxic water.


    "You didn''t dodge?"


    The pupils of the Ghost Snake Elder constricted suddenly. He had assumed that Blaze Regret would be reluctant to lose his spirit puppet and would have it retreat before being hit by the venomous cascade, thus giving him time to escape. Clearly, he had miscalculated.


    In the distance, Blaze Regret watched the Wind Splitting Mantis flying towards the Ghost Faced Snake, his expression calm.


    "It''s just a spirit puppet. As long as I can eliminate the Ghost Snake Elder, it''s a price worth paying. Moreover, I hadn''t planned on taking it along for the upcoming training anyway."


    "Swish!"


    A sharp sound of slicing wind echoed as the Wind Splitting Mantis reached the Ghost Faced Snake. Its scythe like claws, resembling the grim reaper''s, fully extended and slashed down in an intersecting motion.

    The Ghost Faced Snake, having just unleashed its venomous cascade, had clearly exhausted much of its spiritual power. In its hurried defense, its broken tail failed to provide any resistance and were split open by the Wind Splitting Mantis.


    "Hiss!"


    The Ghost Faced Snake''s painful cry was abruptly cut off as the Wind Splitting Mantis'' claw decapitated it swiftly, piercing through and skewering its body.


    At the moment of the Ghost Faced Snake''s death, the Ghost Snake Elder spat a mouthful of blood. He looked up at the gleaming tail of the Wind Splitting Mantis, terror written on his face. "I am a member of the Blazing Gold Batas Shop. Is your Blaze family looking to make an enemy of the Angsana Pavilion?"


    "Don''t worry, Mat Kun will be joining you soon."


    Ignoring the Ghost Snake Elder''s threat, Blaze Regret commanded the Wind Splitting Mantis to deliver the final blow.


    The Ghost Snake Elder''s eyes widened in disbelief as a line of blood quickly appeared across his throat.


    Moments later, the noisy forest finally fell silent once more.


    Confirming that the Ghost Snake Elder was dead, Blaze Regret severed his connection with the Wind Splitting Mantis and leaned against a thick tree trunk, exhaling deeply.


    "Aren''t you upset?" Master Magi glanced at the fallen Wind Splitting Mantis and looked at Blaze Regret in surprise.


    "You can''t rely on that thing to defeat Katis Van," Blaze Regret said with a smile, though the curve of his lips was rather cold.


    From start to finish, he hadn''t forgotten the scene that unfolded on the plaza during his spiritual awakening. If anything had gone wrong back then, he might have ended up just like the Ghost Snake Elder on the ground, nothing more than a cold corpse.


    "Hehe, well said," Master Magi laughed with satisfaction. If Blaze Regret had chosen to keep that spirit puppet, he would have doubted his own judgment. Fortunately, Blaze Regret did not disappoint him.


    Walking slowly to the Ghost Snake Elder''s corpse, a fiery glow flashed from Blaze Regret''s shoulder. With a light probe of its Cat like claw, a gust of flame swept through, and the Ghost Snake Elder''s Void Realms stone fell into Blaze Regret''s hand with a snap.


    "Quite a bit of assets here. This pile must be worth about a hundred thousand gold coins."


    Blaze Regret let out a cold laugh. Beside the coins was a token exclusive to the Blazing Gold Batas Shop, which he tossed aside as garbage without a second thought.


    Other than the gold coins, the Ghost Snake Elder''s void Realms stone contained only a few Qi-replenishing pills.


    For ordinary spirit masters, any gold they had would typically be used to enhance their spirit beasts'' abilities, so they usually didn''t possess much wealth. Having a hundred thousand gold coins, like the Ghost Snake Elder, was considered moderately well off.


    "Time to head back," Blaze Regret said.


    Blaze Regret lifted his face and looked at the sky, which was beginning to pale slightly. His soft sigh echoed through the forest.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret had no idea what chaos had erupted in Veloria City.


    "Have you heard? Someone found half of Pit Rock''s body on top of a house next to Fourth Street. It was a gruesome sight!"


    "Pit Rock? Isn''t he the genius of Veloria City? He advanced from a spirit novice to a spirit warrior in just a few years, and now he''s dead? Is that true?"


    "Of course it''s true. When I opened my window this morning, the place was swarming with people from the Blaze family, all looking murderous. It scared me into closing the window right away. Later, I heard that the young master of the Blaze family was ambushed and killed last night!"


    "Wow, this is explosive news. With Blaze Ash''s personality, this is going to blow up big time!"


    Whether on the streets or in the taverns, everyone was fervently discussing the event, spittle flying as they speculated about what had happened the previous night.


    "Patriarch, why hasn''t the Great Elder returned yet?"


    Atop the Snow family''s tall building, Snow Ahmad looked down at the constantly emerging crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.


    "Who knows? Maybe after taking out that Blaze Regret kid, he''s hiding somewhere to avoid being discovered by Blaze Ash and his people."


    Snow Fazlin stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the anxious faces of the Blaze family members, a cruel smile playing at the corner of his mouth.


    With Snow Azrul''s strength, eliminating Blaze Regret, a second tier spirit warrior, would be a piece of cake.


    "Good riddance!"


    Beside him, Snow Ahmad laughed heartily, "It''s a pity I didn''t get to see that kid''s corpse; otherwise, I''d chop him into mincemeat and throw it into the alley to feed the dogs."


    "But how do we explain Pit Rocks death?"


    Thinking about this, Snow Fazlin showed some confusion in his eyes.


    "Who knows? Maybe he provoked some big shot and got casually killed," Snow Ahmad said indifferently.

 Chapter 104: Chapter 104 Andrew Wilson

    "That''s the only explanation," Snow Fazlin nodded slowly. After all, people dying was a common occurrence in Veloria City; an occasional spirit warrior''s fall was not out of the ordinary.


    On the street.


    "I heard that several spirit Imperials ambushed and killed Blaze Regret last night. Is that true?" Sky Nasrul looked at the white figures flashing before him, feeling quite shocked.


    It was hard for him to imagine that someone he had fought alongside not long ago was now separated by life and death.


    "I thought he was someone impressive, but he turned out to be just a piece of trash, dying just like that."


    Behind Sky Nasrul, beside Sky Diana, a proud looking young man sneered disdainfully.


    "Andrew Wilson, how can you talk like that?" Sky Diana, upon hearing this, frowned slightly. The look in her beautiful eyes at the young man beside her was full of displeasure.


    No matter what, Blaze Regret had saved her and Sky Nasrul several times and had brought some benefits to the Sky family from the Angsana Pavilion. Hearing Andrew Wilson speak so ill of Blaze Regret, she couldn''t help but feel some instinctive disgust.


    "Diana, I''m just curious how that kid managed to defeat Snow Amar. You know, Snow Amar and I have played together since we were kids, and I know his strength very well. For someone who just stepped into the realm of spirit warrior to kill his Withered Wood Demon, he must have used some despicable means."


    Seeing Sky Diana''s face suddenly turn cold, Andrew Wilson''s hostility towards Blaze Regret grew even stronger, and his words became even more venomous.


    Sky Diana''s rosy lips moved slightly. She turned her face away, ultimately choosing not to retort.


    Now, she only cared about whether Blaze Regret was still alive. Through the recent events, she had clearly recognized Andrew Wilson''s nature, so she couldn''t be bothered to say a word.


    Seeing this, Sky Nasrul let out a bitter laugh. Indeed, when comparing people to each other, the difference was vast. Blaze Regret was also very proud, but his pride was internal, unlike Andrew Wilson''s, which was always on display.


    In simple terms, it''s arrogance.


    But being a fourth rank spirit warrior, did he have the right to be arrogant in front of Blaze Regret...


    Sky Nasrul''s eyes flickered. After fully refining the Essense Milk, Blaze Regret''s Blue Flame Demon Cat should have advanced to the second rank, right? If he''s still alive, even facing Andrew Wilson, he might not be without a chance of winning.


    "What a pity, I wanted to teach that kid a lesson myself. Now it seems, I don''t even need to step in personally."


    As if not sensing the change in the atmosphere, Andrew Wilson continued muttering to himself, with a rather regretful expression on his face.


    "Second Elder, we''ve searched everywhere but found no trace of Blaze Regret."


    Blaze Tut, riding on a Black Wind Panther, brought up a trail of dust and wind as he quickly approached Blaze Peter, his voice extremely bitter.


    Even though he didn''t want to believe it, according to Blaze Ash''s analysis, at least three spirit Imperials appeared last night. Under such circumstances, Blaze Regret was likely in grave danger.


    "If you can''t find him, keep looking. If you can''t find him in the city and back mountion at back of Blaze Family, look outside the city!" Blaze Peter glared at Blaze Tut and roared.


    "Yes." Blaze Tut nodded bitterly, slapped his Black Wind Panther, and was about to turn around.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a faint whooshing sound suddenly came from a distance, followed by an increasingly rapid sound of something cutting through the air. A Blue red, demonic figure darted over at an incredible speed and gracefully landed in the middle of the scene.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Regret, sitting on the back of the Blue Flame Demon Cat, looked around at the many astonished faces and frowned in confusion.


    "You... you''re alive?" Blaze Peter stared intently at Blaze Regret, his breathing becoming noticeably rapid.


    "When did I ever die?" Blaze Regret said with a wry smile, but he quickly understood. The commotion from last night had indeed been quite significant.


    "Hey, are you Blaze Regret?"


    Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from one side of the road. Andrew Wilson shout over, his eyes briefly glancing at the poised Sky Diana, his desire to show off intensifying. "I thought you were dead. Didn''t expect you to be so lucky and survive."


    "Who are you?" Blaze Regret looked at the approaching Andrew Wilson in surprise.


    "Oh, I''m a friend of Snow Amar," Andrew Wilson said arrogantly upon seeing that Blaze Regret was only a second rank spirit warrior. "I''m not sure what underhanded methods you used to defeat Snow Amar, but if possible, I''d like to see them."


    Though he seemed to be negotiating, Andrew Wilson had already summoned a beast entirely covered in crackling lightning, a Thunder Mammoth. Lightning arcs danced rapidly across its pristine tusks.


    The White Thunder Tusk, a mid fourth rank spirit beast of the warrior class. Andrew Wilson had once used it to kill a fifth rank spirit warrior, showcasing its considerable strength.


    "Ridiculous!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The joy in Blaze Peter''s heart slowly faded, replaced by anger. How shameless for a fourth rank spirit warrior to bully a second rank spirit warrior!


    "Andrew Wilson, what exactly do you want?"


    Sky Diana was furious. She had initially thought Andrew Wilson was just talking big, but she hadn''t expected him to actually challenge Blaze Regret, a mere second rank spirit warrior, as a fourth rank spirit warrior.


    "This is going too far," Sky Nasrul also shook his head.


    Seeing this, the onlookers around them also showed displeasure in their eyes. If it were Blaze Regret challenging Andrew Wilson, one could say he had courage. But for the strong to bully the weak, what kind of skill was that?


    Feeling the many needle like gazes on his back, Andrew Wilson''s face changed. But soon, all his inner embarrassment turned into anger, directed entirely at Blaze Regret. "Do you dare or not?"

 Chapter 105: Chapter 105 WhiteThunder Tusk

    With a helpless sigh, Blaze Regret stroked the wiggling little ears of the Blue Flame Demon Cat, extended his foot, and gently stepped onto the ground.


    "Alright, but I have something to take care of first."


    As he spoke, Blaze Regret''s hand brushed across the air stone. A terrifying Snake head suddenly flashed out and crashed to the ground with a clang. Its dark green blood had long since solidified, making it look extremely horrifying. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The head of a Ghost faced Snake?"


    Seeing this, everyone couldn''t help but exclaim in shock, their voices filled with astonishment.


    The number of Ghost faced Snakes was not exactly rare, but they were certainly not common. In the entire Veloria City, the only one known to have a Ghost faced Snake was the long deceased Elder Ghost Snake!


    "A imperial level spirit beast''s head? Impossible!"


    Staring at the ground, Andrew Wilson shook his head repeatedly, his face full of shock. The once imposing White Thunder Tusk now stood there trembling, its surrounding lightning dissipating.


    "Now we can proceed."


    Blaze Regret smiled at Andrew Wilson, while the Blue Flame Demon Cat let out a low growl. The Blue flames on its body suddenly surged, and its aura was significantly stronger than it had been the previous day!


    During the journey back, Blaze Regret had refined the Heart Essensen Milk on the Blue Flame Demon Cat''s back, which naturally led to a breakthrough in his strength to the third rank. Through spiritual power feedback, the Blue Flame Demon Cat reached the same level as Blaze Regret.


    So, at present, the Blue Flame Demon Cat was a third rank high level warrior grade beast.


    In fact, when it mutated into the Blue Flame Demon Cat, the Red had already reached this level. However, Blaze Regret was concerned that breaking through too quickly would make its spiritual power unstable, so he had delayed until now.


    Blaze Regret had once read in a book that a spirit warrior''s Wind Wolf in Veloria City had luckily mutated into a Black Wind Wolf. As a result, it directly advanced from a fourth rank intermediate warrior grade to a ninth rank high level warrior grade. The spiritual power within it was completely out of control and took half a year to stabilize.


    Clearly, Blaze Regret didn''t have that much time to waste. A steady approach was the best strategy.


    "How is it third rank? Wasn''t it first rank?"


    Andrew Wilson''s eye twitched, and his mind was slightly dazed. Just yesterday, Snow Amar had told him that Blaze Regret''s Blue Flame Demon Cat was only first rank. How did it become third rank in just one day?


    "Are you going to fight or not?" Blaze Regret looked at Andrew Wilson with dissatisfaction. It was Andrew Wilson who had challenged him first, so why was he hesitating now?


    "Can''t you see? He wanted to use his fourth rank White Thunder Tusk to bully your first rank Blue Flame Demon Cat. But now that it''s third rank, he''s chickened out."


    Although surprised at how quickly the Blue Flame Demon Cat had advanced, Sky Nasrul still shouted provocatively. He had long been displeased with Andrew Wilson.


    "Nonsense!"


    Caught in a difficult position, Andrew Wilson''s eyes suddenly turned fierce. He roared, "White Thunder Tusk, use Thunder Split and take down his Blue Flame Demon Cat!"


    With lingering fear, White Thunder Tusk retracted its gaze from the Ghost faced Snake''s head. Stamping its foot, lightning crackled around its pristine tusks as it charged forward with the force of an earthquake.


    Reflected in its pupils, the flickering lightning approached. The Red calmly watched the incoming White Thunder Tusk. Just as the sharp tusks were about to make contact, its figure blurred and split into two, allowing White Thunder Tusk to pass through the gap in an instant.


    As White Thunder Tusk roared past, the Red rejoined behind it. Leaping into the air, its fiery tail, sharp as a blade, descended like moonlight and slashed vertically across White Thunder Tusk''s massive body.


    "Boom!"


    White Thunder Tusk''s skin was incredibly tough, and though it didn''t bleed, its body instantly collapsed to its knees. Struggling to rise, it failed to stand and continued to quiver on the ground.


    "You lost."


    Gently stroking the fluffy head of the Red, Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice rang out mercilessly.


    Staring at the fallen White Thunder Tust, Andrew Wilson''s body trembled slightly, almost collapsing to the ground. He had thought that even if he couldn''t win, he could at least fight to a draw. However, the swift and decisive strike from Red shattered his illusions.


    "Heh heh, I knew he win." Sky Nasrul grinned wickedly, evidently in a great mood after having just tricked Andrew Wilson.


    "That spiritual beast looks like a Blue Flame Demon Cat. To think it could defeat a fourth tier White Thunder Tust in an instant with its third tier power."


    "Yeah, it''s definitely a Blue Flame Demon Cat. Someone once found a Blue Flame Demon Cat cub, and a passing expert bought it for a high price of 400,000 gold coins."


    "My God, 400,000 gold coins! I might never make that much in my lifetime. Speaking of which, Andrew Wilson is really weak. He couldn''t even withstand a single hit. How embarrassing."


    After a brief silence, the murmuring of the onlookers erupted with voices filled with disdain, all gazing at Andrew Wilson with contempt.


    Retracting his White Thunder Tust with a face ashen, Andrew Wilson hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, fleeing hastily amidst a chorus of mockery.


    "This Void realms Stone is for you." Blaze Regret walked up to Sky Nasrul, casually tossing the Void realms Stone that belonged to the Ghost Snake Elder, which Sky Nasrul caught.


    "Generous, I like it. But how did the Ghost Snake Elder die?" Sky Nasrul asked, joyfully caressing the space stone, then suddenly looked at Blaze Regret with a puzzled expression.


    "That''s a secret." Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile.


    "I find it harder to see through you now." Sky Diana smiled gracefully, but a subtle shock flitted through her beautiful eyes. She had thought that refining the Essense Milk would allow her to catch up with Blaze Regret, but in just one day, the latter had already become a third tier spirit warrior.

 Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Mat Kun Dead 1

    "Who exactly did this?" Sky Nasrul''s playful expression disappeared, replaced by a serious demeanor.


    With the Blaze Family''s Vengeful Nature, Veloria City is Unlikely to Be Peaceful for Some Time


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret did not respond; he merely shook his head slightly, a sharp glint flashing through his dark eyes. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ghost Snake Elder, very well."


    In front of the Blaze family mansion, Blaze Ash waved his hand, and blazing flames surged forth, reducing the Ghost Faced Snake''s head to ashes. His calm voice carried a hint of coldness: "Go to the Angsana Pavilion Auction. It''s time to settle some scores."


    That night.


    Outside, the sound of insects chirping filled the air. Blaze Regret sat at the table, his mouth stuffed full of food, mumbling, "I''ve consumed too much spiritual power in the past few days. If I don''t replenish it, I feel like I won''t be able to hold on."


    Opposite him, Red was also tearing into the spirit beast food on his plate, the crunching sounds echoing throughout the room.


    "Doesn''t it need to eat?" Blaze Regret glanced at the Ice Control Irenix floating in mid air, seemingly lost in thought, and asked in confusion.


    "It does, but the Ice Control Irenix only eats pure cold ice and ice attribute spirit cores," Master Magi replied in a flat tone, flipping through an old book.


    Half an hour later, Blaze Regret wiped his mouth, letting out a satisfied sigh. Red, too, was patting his round belly, lying on the table, unwilling to move.


    "Aren''t you concerned about over there?" Master Magi asked playfully, pointing in the direction of the Angsana Pavilion Auction.


    "What''s the point of being concerned? At most, Mat Kun will suffer a great loss and have to compensate for some things. After all, the Angsana Pavilion''s reputation is on the line. They can''t completely abandon Mat Kun, or they would lose face," Blaze Regret replied nonchalantly, slumping in his chair.


    "You see things quite clearly," Master Magi smiled, lifting his eyelids slightly to glance at the deep night outside the window, his eyes narrowing: "So, some things have to be done by us."


    In the Pitch Black Night Sky, a Streak of Azure Light Flashed


    After the commotion of the day, Veloria City had once again returned to its usual tranquility. No one would have imagined that a rare Ice Control Irenix was currently soaring above their heads.


    "Snow Ahmad, are you saying that you also sent Snow Azrul to kill that brat Blaze Regret last night?"


    In the attic of the Batas Shop, Mat Kun gazed darkly at Snow Ahmad, who was lightly tapping the table while seated in a chair.


    "Indeed, but Snow Azrul hasn''t returned yet. I fear the worst for him," Snow Ahmad''s voice was cold, as if Snow Azrul''s death did not stir any emotion within him.


    "Hmph, just a fifth rank spirit Imperial, so be it if he''s dead. The important question is, how did they die?" Mat Kun paced back and forth, deeply agitated.


    Those were three genuine spirit Imperial, not mere cabbages. Even if they were to be killed, it shouldn''t have been possible to kill all of them without a single survivor.


    "I suspect Blaze Ash acted in secret. Otherwise, there''s no other explanation," Snow Ahmad said, eyes gleaming with a cold light.


    "Blaze Ash, it''s always Blaze Ash!"


    Mat Kun clenched his fists tightly, exclaiming angrily, "He caused trouble in the imperial capital, and now he''s causing trouble here too. Does he think I, Mat Kun, am dead?"


    "Manager Mat, since the situation has already occurred, there''s no point in saying more. Why don''t we join forces to wipe out the Blaze family from Veloria City?" Snow Ahmad suggested softly.


    "How do we join forces? I still have two spirit Imperial here, but you know the rules of the Angsana Pavilion. If they find out I''m targeting local forces, my days as the manager of the Batas Shop would be numbered," Mat Kun said, slamming his fist onto the table in frustration.


    Although the Ghost Snake Elder had fallen, he was a force Mat Kun had cultivated in secret. Even if the Angsana Pavilion wanted to investigate, they wouldn''t be able to trace it back to him.


    "If we can''t do it openly, then we do it covertly. The Atlas Shop manages medicinal herbs and elixirs, while the Batas Shop is responsible for spirit beasts and spirit crystals," Snow Ahamad said with a sinister smile.


    "Agreed!"


    Mat Kun''s eyes lit up. "Tomorrow, I''ll send people to secretly destroy the Blaze family''s spirit beast acquisition sites, and sabotage their back mountain. Without a supply source, I want to see how long the Blaze family can keep up!"


    Mat Kun''s plan was not without merit. If they disrupted the Blaze family''s supply under the guise of business, the Angsana Pavilion would hardly have any grounds to intervene.


    "Don''t forget, the Blaze family still has two alchemists," Snow Ahmad reminded.


    "Hmph, just two weaklings. I don''t believe Blaze Ash can stay at the Blaze residence all the time. As soon as he shows the slightest mistake, those two will meet a mysterious and tragic end within the Blaze family," Mat Kun sneered.


    "If Blaze Regret dies, it''s manageable. But if Park Lily dies, we won''t even need to act; the Angsana Pavilion won''t spare the Blaze family," Snow Ahmad said with a cunning smile.


    "Haha, Brother Snow, I knew this Veloria City would be ours sooner or later!" Mat Kun laughed heartily.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, before his laughter could fade, a golden beam of light suddenly descended, slowly rotating. Within the beam, Mat Kun''s body disintegrated into golden particles at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, vanished.


    "Clang!"


    The teacup Snow Ahmad had just picked up fell to the ground. He stared ahead in a daze, and moments later, a terrified scream erupted from him.


    "Mr. Blaze, please don''t make it difficult for us. Mat Kun is, after all, a person of the Angsana House. If we hand him over just like that, it will break many people''s hearts."

 Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Departure (Bonus 1)

    In the VIP room behind the Angsana Pavilion Auction House, Alif Azlin looked at Blaze Ash, who was sitting there with a cold expression. A bitter smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of her lips.


    "Then just tell Mut Abu that I killed Mat Kun, and see if he dares to protect him."


    After a moment of silence, Blaze Ash''s icy voice slowly emerged.


    As Blaze Ash''s voice echoed, Alif Azlin''s beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and she was momentarily lost in thought.


    Mut Abu is the master of the Angsana Pavilion, a prominent figure even in the heart of the empire. Hearing this name from the mouth of a spirit Lord from a remote small city felt like a dream.


    "You... know Master Mut?" Alif Azlin asked cautiously.


    "Didn''t Mut Abu tell you that when coming to Veloria City, you should first establish good relations with the Blaze family?" Blaze Ash raised his head and looked at Alif Azlin with a faint smile.


    Pressing her red lips together, Alif Azlin smiled bitterly. No wonder Mut Abu had previously instructed her to take extra care of the Blaze family. It now seemed that he and Blaze Ash were old acquaintances.


    "Alright, I just came over to say hello, to give that guy Mut Abu some face."


    With that, Blaze Ash stood up and walked towards the door, his gaze filled with killing intent directed at the Batas Shop.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, a piercing scream resounded through the night, exceptionally loud.


    "It''s coming from the Batas Shop." Alif Azlin''s pretty face changed slightly.


    Moments later, Alif Azlin and Blaze Ash appeared in the attic of the Batas Shop, gazing at a bit of golden powder on the floor.


    "It''s the impurities produced after the wind attribute spirit portal shattered." Blaze Ash crouched down, rubbed the golden powder between his fingers, and wore an indescribable expression on his face.


    "You mean, Mat Kun is already dead?" Alif Azlin covered her slightly parted lips with her delicate hand, her face filled with disbelief.


    This was a spirit Lord, after all, and he was silently taken out in his own territory.


    Standing up, Blaze Ash clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze slowly sweeping across the room until it rested on the teacup on the table.


    "It''s warm."


    Alif Azlin gently touched it, her beautiful eyes flickering. "Including the shattered teacup, it means there were two people in this room just now."


    "Mat Kun is dead, so what about the other person?" Alif Azlin felt a headache coming on and her eyes kept glancing at Blaze Ash.


    "Don''t look at me. If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn''t need to do it secretly." Blaze Ash chuckled. He knew Alif Azlin suspected him, but with Mat Kun''s mere third level spirit Lord strength, if Blaze Ash wanted to kill him, it wouldn''t be this troublesome.


    Thus, Mat Kun''s death became an unsolved mystery, though in Blaze Ash''s view, the guy deserved it.


    At the fifth watch, all the bewildered staff in the Batas Shop were cleared out by people from the Batas Shop. The entire shop was completely sealed off, with no one allowed to enter.


    In the courtyard, Ice Control Irenix gently fluttered her wings, and Blaze Regret slid down from her back.


    "Hehe, that was exciting."


    Blaze Regret returned to his room, closed the doors and windows, took off his shoes, and jumped directly onto the bed, roughly rubbing Red''s head. "You missed out by not seeing it. That was a spirit Lord, turned to ash in an instant."


    Bleary eyed, Red glanced at Blaze Regret, who looked excited. With a flick of its Cat paw, it push Blaze Regret''s hand away, uninterested, and closed its eyes, immediately falling back to sleep.


    "It''s just a spirit Lord, no need to get so worked up." Master Magi shook his head with a faint smile, then resumed flipping through the tattered book in his hands, producing a rustling sound as if he would never finish reading it.


    "Can''t be bothered with you."


    Blaze Regret lay on the bed, hands behind his head, a determined look suddenly appearing in his eyes.


    He had thought that being a spirit Lord was already strong enough, but in Master Magi''s hands, there was no chance to resist. It seemed that even a spirit Lord wasn''t enough on this continent.


    "I have to become even stronger."


    Blaze Regret mumbled to himself and unknowingly fell asleep.


    When Blaze Regret woke up, it was broad daylight. Warm sunlight streamed in, casting its glow on his face.


    "Do you need to inform your father?"


    Looking at Blaze Regret packing his things, Master Magi asked softly.


    After placing the last item into the Void Realms stone, Blaze Regret washed his face and shook his head. "Leaving a note will be enough. Even if my father agrees, the Second Elder definitely won''t."


    Master Magi''s secret was something he couldn''t share. With the Second Elder''s personality, he definitely wouldn''t allow Blaze Regret to go out alone for training, which would only lead to more trouble.


    "Finally leaving, huh."


    Blaze Regret patted Red''s little head, as if to encourage himself. "I wonder how much I''ll have grown by the time I return. I can''t wait."


    With a light smile, Blaze Regret left a note on the table. As usual, he walked out of the Blaze family gate, greeting Blaze Tut and the others stationed there with a smile.


    Blending into the crowd, Blaze Regret''s face, hidden by a black robe, did not draw anyone''s attention.


    Three hours later, Blaze Regret was walking on an unfamiliar road. Here, there were no Four Great Families, nor the Angsana Pavilion Auction House. Everything familiar had disappeared.


    "Beep!"


    Suddenly, the sound transmission shell at Blaze Regret''s waist flashed with a red light. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Regret''er, two years from now is the day the Spirit Master Competition starts in Veloria City. Remember to come back."


    Blaze Ash''s familiar voice made Blaze Regret''s nose tingle with emotion. He raised his hand slightly, seemingly nonchalant, and tossed the sound transmission shell into the void Realms stone. His young figure disappeared at the end of the road.

 Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Spiny Porcupine (Bonus 2)

    The long path was extraordinarily quiet. It was already autumn on the continent, and the cool autumn wind carried slightly yellowed leaves, gently floating down onto the road, where they were crushed under the feet of passersby.


    "Master Magi, where exactly are we going?"


    Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Blaze Regret was slightly out of breath.


    "To Hildan Town," Master Magi, who floated beside Blaze Regret like a blue ghost, said softly. "Hildan Town is located deep within the mountains, extremely difficult to find. Even with a map, it''s hard to locate. So, I want you to find a Spirit Hunting group first and go with them."


    "Can''t you find it yourself?" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes.


    "I''m not a god; how could I know everything? I can only sense that the missing page is roughly in the direction of Hildan Town," Master Magi retorted, clearly irritated by Blaze Regret''s disdainful attitude.


    As soon as he left the Veloria city, Blaze Regret said to Red, "Red, can I ride you?"


    Besides fighting, Red could also serve as a mount.


    Roar~


    After a slight hesitation, Red nodded. Now, Red was over two meters long and nearly a meter tall, when transform to Blue Flame Demon Cat, barely suitable as a mount.


    When Blaze Regret mounted, Red felt his back sink. Fortunately, Blaze Regret was on the thinner side and not fully grown, otherwise, Red would have struggled a lot. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even so, Red''s speed was somewhat affected.


    However, After a few hour Red was accustomed to Blaze Regret weight, so even with Blaze Regret on its back, it moved swiftly and silently. The surrounding scenery quickly blurred as they sped along.


    After some intermittent travel, Red stopped at the foot of Tall Mountain. Blaze Regret vaguely saw a small path surrounded by overgrown weeds, indicating it was a piece of undeveloped wilderness.


    Although at the back Mountain Blaze family manor has many wild Spirit beast, their numbers were few compared to the vast wilderness here, which had a large population of wild spirit beast, including many high quality ones.


    Blaze Regret dismounted and stepped onto the path, advancing while observing the surroundings.


    This piece of wilderness was overgrown with waist high wormwood, dotted with various wildflowers. Occasionally, rustling sounds could be heard as wild spirit beast darted by.


    Based on their nature, wild spirit beast could be categorized as either aggressive or passive. The former, mainly carnivorous spirit beast, were fierce and would actively attack, while the latter, mainly herbivorous spirit beast, were the opposite. They would generally not attack unless provoked and might even actively avoid encounters.


    Blaze Regret was not surprised and had no intention of paying attention to them. He continued moving forward.


    "Red, don''t relax. Always stay vigilant. This will be your first lesson in surviving the wilderness!"


    Red seemed a bit bewildered. Just then, its ears twitched, and its eyes instantly turned fierce. It immediately positioned itself in front of Blaze Regret, tensely watching the rustling grass ahead.


    At that moment, the rustling grew louder, and a porcupine like Spirit Beast burst out, charging at Red.


    This Spirit Beast resembled a porcupine, about a meter long, with a stout body, short limbs, and sharp, hard white spines on its back and tail.


    "A spiny porcupine medium grade fourth warrior grade!" Blaze Regret instantly identified the creature.


    Unlike regular porcupines, spiny porcupines are larger and have sharper snouts. They are a common Spirit Beast, often found in grasslands.


    "Dodge and use a bite!"


    As the spiny porcupine charged, Red swiftly dodged to the left, nearly brushing past the opponent.


    The next moment, Red quickly turned, moving with lightning speed towards the spiny porcupine.


    During the attack, Red opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp white fangs, and avoided the spiny porcupine''s quill covered back, aiming for its neck.


    The spiny porcupine had no time to react as Red''s fangs sank into its neck, targeting a vital spot.


    A pained wail erupted from the spiny porcupine as it thrashed violently, trying to shake off Red.


    In its frenzied struggle, Red tore off a chunk of flesh, causing a fountain of bright red blood to gush from the porcupine''s neck, leaving it severely injured.


    At that moment, the spiny porcupine turned its back to Red, seemingly trying to flee.


    "Red, be careful!"


    Seeing Red about to pursue, Blaze Regret quickly shouted a warning. Under his command, Red immediately activated Blue Flame Demon Fire skill.


    Red crouched low, then suddenly leaped up. Blue red spiritual energy emanated from its body, converging in front of it and condensing into three balls of Blue fire in an instant.


    The Blue fire quietly rotated, each ball containing spiritual energy far stronger than that of the blazing sun!


    "Whoosh!"


    The rotation speed of the three balls of Blue fire suddenly increased. Red''s figure shot out like a bolt, with Blue red spiritual energy surging around it. A tail of light trailed behind it, the speed astonishingly fast.


    In the next instant, the spiny porcupine shook its body forcefully, and its white spines shot out with a sharp "puh puh puh" sound, aiming at Red.


    A single spine might not be very powerful, but being hit by so many could be disastrous.


    With the Blue Flame Demon Fire skill enhancing its speed, Red moved with incredible swiftness, dashing out of the spines'' range in an instant. The white spines missed their mark entirely, posing no threat to Red.


    "Great, finish it off now with you skill!"


    Having avoided the spines'' attack, Red quickly resumed its pursuit. In a blink, it caught up with the fleeing spiny porcupine and three ball of blue fire fly of at the porcupine''s head.


    The spiny porcupine couldn''t react in time and was struck on the head by Blue Flame Demon Fire skill.


    Boom!


    Crack!


    With the sound of bones shattering, the porcupine''s head caved in, and it fell heavily to the ground. Its limbs twitched violently a few times before it lay still.


    "Red, well done!"


    Even though the battle was relatively easy,Blaze Regret still gave Red ample praise.

 Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Wind Wolf 1

    Roar~


    Upon receiving Blaze Regret''s praise, Red beamed with satisfaction and let out a resounding roar that echoed across the sky.


    Blaze Regret skillfully extracted the Spirit Beast core from the spiny porcupine and carefully collected any valuable materials from the creature, storing them in his Void Realm stone. Now, fully immersed in his adventure, he understood the necessity of earning his own money to survive and purchase essential items.


    With unwavering resolve, he pressed on, making his way towards the mysterious Hiltan Town.


    Many spirit beast have a migratory habit for food and survival, leading to a wide variety of Spirit beast species encountered along the way.


    After entering Tall Mountain, the density of wild Spirit beast is far greater than that at the foot of the mountain, and Blaze Regret detect many wild spirit beast each time he went deeper.


    The wild Spirit beast of Tall Mountain mainly consist of earth hedgehogs, crawling insects, larks, and sharp beaked porcupines, all of which are relatively common Spirit beast.


    Unfortunately, throughout his journey, Blaze Regret encountered only low grade Spirit beast with no cultivation value, that make him feel down because he did not find any rare spirit beast.


    Whenever he encountered aggressive Spirit beast, Blaze Regret would command Red to fight, enhancing Red''s combat abilities.


    As he continued on, after a small half day, Blaze Regret found himself at the end of the foot of Tall Mountain.


    Tall Mountain isn''t very high, with its highest point only about four to five hundred meters, but it covers a vast area, spanning dozens of miles, giving the impression of a mountain range.


    Along the way, Blaze Regret''s gains were not substantial; he only collected some low grade Spirit beast cores and a few low grade spiritual herbs.


    The proportion of high quality Spirit beast is quite low. According to Blaze Regret''s analysis, it often takes hundreds of wild Spirit beast to find one high quality Spirit beast.


    At the end of the foot of the mountain, there is a rugged dirt path, at most half a meter wide, surrounded by dense shrubs and weeds, where many wild Spirit beast may be lurking.


    In the forest, dangers abound!


    Looking at the winding dirt path, Blaze Regret noticeably heightened his vigilance; no one knows what dangers lie ahead. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Compared to the back mountain forest behind Blaze manor, the vegetation here is denser, and the density of wild Spirit beast is even greater, making it undoubtedly more dangerous.


    Additionally, there are also group wild Spirit beast, such as the pack of stone wolves that Blaze Regret detact with help from master magi.


    Compared to ordinary Spirit beast, group Spirit beast often have weaker individual strength, but their sheer numbers make them a greater threat than lonely Spirit beast.


    Without sufficient strength, no one would provoke group Spirit beast for no reason; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.


    This time, his mission is go thorough this tall mountain first, if he encountered a small number of stone wolves, he would seize the opportunity to strike; otherwise, he would run as far as he could.


    With Blaze Regret''s speed, unless he encountered mid tier warrior grade stone wolves, the chances of escape were quite high.


    Not long after setting off, Blaze Regret was forced to stop. His expression changed as he looked at the scene, which was shrouded in uncertainty.


    Not far away, on a tree large enough for several people to embrace, hung a colossal beehive with a three meter diameter, swarming with wild bees the size of human heads darting in and out.


    "Oh no, that''s a first tier warrior level murder hornet nest!"


    The moment Blaze Regret laid eyes on the hive and the menacing bees, he recognized the danger.


    Murder hornets may lack individual strength, but they operate in aggressive swarms, striking fear into the hearts of even the most formidable Spirit Beasts, who tend to avoid of them whenever possible.


    Without a moment''s hesitation, Blaze Regret swiftly mounted Red and commanded it to retreat from the area.


    The reaction of the murder hornets was lightning quick; as soon as Blaze Regret turned away, a swarm of giant hornets burst forth from the hive, their ominous buzzing echoing ominously as they lunged toward him.


    Many Spirit Beasts possess a keen sense of territory, especially group ones. The moment an intruder encroaches, they respond with ferocity, and the murder hornet swarm is notoriously formidable.


    To evade the hornet swarm, one must put distance between themselves and the nest; only then can they hope to escape.


    "Red, run!" Blaze shouted.


    As the swarm closed in, Red was clearly startled, bolting into the forest without regard for direction. Red sprinted straight ahead at full speed, knowing that if the murder hornets caught up, the consequences would be dire. Their venomous stings were lethal; even a few could spell death.


    In the forest, Red moved like a fish in water, navigating the terrain with incredible speed and agility, deftly dodging obstacles as they raced forward.


    In the blink of an eye, time seemed to blur, but once Blaze Regret was certain they had shaken off the relentless hornets, he reined in Red, bringing her to a halt.


    After their harrowing escape, Red collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.


    "You''ve done well, Red!" Blaze Regret said, gently patting it head. He poured a bowl of water and spirit beast food, knowing he needed to restore it stamina as quickly as possible after such a perilous escape.


    While Red drank, Blaze Regret began to survey their surroundings. Tall trees loomed above, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. In his haste, he had lost track of his exact location.


    Wild Spirit Beasts generally fear humans and prefer the solitude of the wilderness. The more remote the area, the higher the concentration of wild Spirit Beasts, increasing the chances of encountering higher grade ones.


    Of course, if he stumbled upon a low grade Spirit Beast of exceptional quality, Blaze Regret would capture it to sell later in Hiltan Town.


    Once Red had recovered, Blaze Regret chose a direction that led deeper into the forest and continued his exploration.

 Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Wind Wolf 2

    As time slowly passed during the search, dusk soon arrived, and the dense trees made the forest increasingly dark.


    Before nightfall could fully settle in, visibility dropped rapidly, and the swaying trees took on a more sinister appearance.


    A qualified Spirit Beast master must conquer their inner fears and possess the ability to survive independently in the wild.


    Blaze Regret was undoubtedly a competent spirit beast master; even without the company of Red and Ice Control Irenix, he was unafraid of such an environment.


    Before night fell completely, Blaze Regret did not continue onward but instead actively sought out a dry tree hollow. After driving away the wild spirit beast that had been residing there, he took over the nest.


    The tree hollow wasn''t very large, but it was sufficient to accommodate both Blaze Regret and Red.


    After having a simple dinner, the night fully descended, and silvery light shone on the ground, casting mottled and intertwined shadows.


    With the mountain wind blowing, the leaves rustled, adding a touch of terror to the forest.


    In such an environment, Blaze Regret remained constantly vigilant. He dared not sleep too deeply, and at the slightest rustle or movement, he would spring into battle mode at the fastest speed.


    The next morning, Blaze Regret yawned repeatedly. Even though he had a fine "tiger skin mat," he slept lightly that night for safety''s sake, not much better than just resting with his eyes closed.


    Before start journey again, Master Magi ask him to dig a hole trap near his sleep place. To avoid mistakenly injuring "friendly forces," Blaze Regret set up simple traps, all about a meter high, with no sharp objects at the bottom. Even if someone accidentally fell into a trap, their life would not be in danger.


    About half an hour later, Blaze Regret forcefully clapped his hands, which were covered in dirt. After marking the traps, he didn''t linger and moved deeper into Tall Mountain.


    The paths of Tall Mountain were rugged, and due to the presence of many wild spirit beast and the potential appearance of wild spirit beast group, Blaze Regret proceeded cautiously and at a slow pace.


    In the past two days, Blaze Regret had spent his time exploring. Strangely, even though he hadn''t fully ventured into Tall Mountain, he had not seen a single trace of the Hiltan Town and any small village in area around Tall mountain


    Additionally, Blaze Regret''s luck hadn''t been very good these past two days; he had encountered a high quality wild spirit beast that can be sold at high price, but that spirit beast was adept at running. However, before he could make a move, the alert wild spirit beast chose to flee, and even with Red giving it his all in pursuit, they couldn''t catch up.


    In terms of speed, both were comparable, but the spirit beast was clearly more familiar with the local terrain, which was why Red couldn''t keep up.


    Blaze Regret, fearing for Red''s safety, didn''t dare let him chase too far and had to choose to give up.


    Over the course of two days, Blaze Regret didn''t have much success in finding any small town or team of adventure to get any information how to go to Hiltan Town. But he found many spirit beast group that quantity is high that make master magi ask him to be more careful.


    Perhaps due to the presence of the wild spirit group, the ecological balance of Tall Mountain had been disrupted. Some wild solo spirits beast had become prey for the wild spirit beast group, while many others were forced to migrate, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of wild spirits beast in Tall Mountain.


    That morning, Blaze Regret finally ventured deep into Tall Mountain, filled with vigilance as he searched any small city or he had good luck to find any high quality spirit beast.


    Compared to the outskirts, the wild spirits beast here were stronger, and the presence of the wild spirit beast nearby added to the danger.


    "According to the position in map i purchase before leave Veloria city, The is a small village over ten miles away from the tall mountain; perhaps I can reach it by evening!" Blaze Regret stood atop a hill, gazing into the distance.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out. Blaze Regret''s expression changed slightly as the voice seemed somewhat like it near to his place; it was highly likely that it belonged to a member of spirit hunter team, and they were in extreme danger.


    Without hesitation, Blaze Regret quickly urged Red toward the source of the sound.


    Red took off at full speed, its agile limbs propelling it swiftly forward, the scenery whizzing by as they approached their destination.


    In less than two minutes, Red came to a halt, revealing a chaotic scene ahead. Five pale green wind wolves formed a circle, their heads bowed as they viciously tore at a corpse.


    Wind Wolf: Wind element, medium warrior grade, a group hunting spirit beast type, known for its speed, with average fur resistance.


    Since Red didn''t conceal its presence, the five wind wolf immediately raised their heads upon hearing the noise, crimson blood dripping from their jaws as they fixed their fierce gazes on Blaze Regret and Red.


    Beside the wolf lay the mangled body of a young boy and women, his abdomen almost hollowed out, limbs torn and bloodied, with only his head remaining intact. Their eyes were wide open, filled with a desperate longing for life.


    This scene struck Blaze Regret''s nerves hard. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At that moment, the five wind wolf began to spread out, stepping forward to encircle Blaze Regret.


    If surrounded by wind wolf, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    "Ice Control Irenix, freeze their leg!"


    At the moment the wind wolves moved, the Ice control Irenix use it ice type skill to freeze the wind wolf leg to stop their movement.


    In an instant, the soil in a radius of several meters ahead suddenly changed, rapidly turning to land of ice and slowly freeze the place of wind wolf.

 Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Wind Barbarian Bear 1

    The five wind Wolf sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to leap out of the freezing''s range. Even so, four of the wind Wolf still found themselves trapped in the ice.


    Amidst the freezing ices, the four wind Wolf were clearly bound. Despite their desperate struggles, there was no chance of escape for the time being.


    The only wind wolf that managed to jump out of the freezing ice immediately lunged at Blaze Regret. However, before it could reach him, Red moved first, appearing in front of the wind wolf.


    In mid air, Red raised its right paw, Blue Fire gathering on its claws. Under the terrified gaze of the wind wolf, it struck fiercely on its skull.


    Crack


    Accompanied by a dull sound, the wind wolf''s brain splattered, and it collapsed to the ground, its limbs twitching for a moment before falling silent.


    After taking down one wind wolf, Blaze Regret intended to redirect his focus to eliminate the other four wind Wolf that were about to break free from the ice''s grip.


    Just then, from the nearby bushes, a massive dark shadow suddenly leaped out, charging toward Blaze Regret with lightning speed.


    Just as the shadow attacked, Red''s ears twitched slightly. It reacted quickly, immediately changing direction and swinging its claws toward the opponent.


    "Ice Control Irenix, ice Armor!"


    In an instant, a layer of ice armor appeared on Red''s body, as if it was wrapped in several layers of ice armor, significantly increasing its physical defense.


    In that moment, the opponent''s claws landed on the ice armor. Due to their influence, the force was significantly reduced.


    Boom~


    A dull sound echoed. Red only felt a numbness in its right paw and a great force pushed it back, causing it to stagger two steps back.


    It was only then that Blaze Regret finally saw the opponent''s appearance clearly. It was also a Wind Wolf, but its size was much larger than an ordinary Wind Wolf; it was three meters long and nearly two meters tall, currently looking down at Red.


    "This... this is a High tier Nine Warrior grade Wind Wolf!" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted sharply, his heart pounding violently, and his expression turned quite grim.


    Both in size and aura, this Wind Wolf clearly surpassed the level of a low tier spirit beast, being a genuine high tier spirit beast.


    Although Red also a High tier, the training time was ultimately limited, and it could not yet compete with a high tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf.


    If he guessed correctly, this High tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf was likely the leader of the Wind Wolf pack.


    With the appearance of a High Tier nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf, there could be other Wind Wolf nearby. If they regrouped, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    At this moment, four lower tier Wind Wolf successfully broke free and, together with the High tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf, surrounded Blaze Regret and his spirit beast.


    Unexpectedly, they did not launch an immediate attack, as if they were waiting for something.


    "Strange!" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling a vague sense of unease. Given the nature of the Wind Wolf pack, they clearly had the upper hand and should have launched an attack right away, but they didn''t. This was very unusual.


    Clap, clap, clap~


    Suddenly, the sound of clapping came from behind. A figure emerged from the bushes, watching Blaze Regret with great interest.


    More precisely, he was watching Ice Control Irenix on Blaze Regret''s shoulder.


    It was a young man, around twenty years old, with a face full of muscle, a strong build, and a fierce aura. He wore a black white brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, and his face showed no emotion. His deep eyes indicated he was a formidable character.


    The young man''s name was Bun Tal. Under Blaze Regret''s astonished gaze, he walked straight to the high grade nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf, raised his right hand slightly, and reached for the Wind Wolf''s head.


    Unexpectedly, the high tier nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf did not move. Instead, it willingly leaned its head forward, allowing Bun Tal to stroke it. Its eyes narrowed in comfort, showing a human like expression of pleasure.


    The answer was clear: the High tier Nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf was Bun Tal''s spirit beast!


    With his hands behind his back, Bun Tal, exuding an air of superiority, slowly spoke, "Tsk tsk, I didn''t expect you to have a rare Ice Control Irenix! Kid, how about we strike a deal? If you willingly dissolve the contract with your spirit beast, I''ll spare your life. How about it?"


    A Spirit Master can dissolve it unilaterally, though at a significant cost.


    Before Blaze Regret could respond, Ice Control Irenix became visibly tense, clutching tightly to Blaze Regret''s clothes, fearing he might agree to the terms.


    "Do you think I''d agree?" Blaze Regret licked his dry lips, forcing himself to stay calm and begin thinking of a way to escape.


    "I think you will," Bun Tal replied.


    Bun tal release his imperial grade aura to threaten Blaze Regret.


    This meant that, aside from the High tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf, Bun Tal had at least one more not know tier imperial grade spirit beast, and possibly even more.


    The next moment, Bun Tal''s lips moved slightly, and a portal light flickered in front of him, eventually forming a wind colored portal.


    Roar~


    Accompanied by a heart palpitating roar, a foul wind swept through the surroundings, fiercely rustling the nearby branches and leaves, creating a cacophony of sounds.


    Upon completing the summoning, a fierce beast type spirit beast appeared beside Bun Tal, the Wind Barbarian Bear!


    The Wind Barbarian Bear stood on its hind legs, towering over three meters tall and weighing several tons. Its body was covered in thick, wind yellow fur, and its enormous paws were slightly larger than a stew pot. When it opened its mouth, it revealed menacing, sharp fangs. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The wind Barbarian Bear is relatively widespread, found in many forests. Like the Wind Wolf, the wind Barbarian Bear belongs to a higher ranked species, classified as a high level imperial spirit beast.

 Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Wind Barbarian Bear 2

    "Run!" At the moment Bun Tal completed the summoning, Blaze Regret seized the opportunity. If he were surrounded by two High tier spirit beast and four low tier Wind Wolf, his chances of survival would be slim.


    From the beginning, Blaze Regret never considered giving up. He could not abandon Ice Control Irenix, nor did he trust Bun Tal to honor any agreement. Without hesitation, he mounted Red and urged it to flee.


    Under Blaze Regret''s guidance, Red quickly took her steps and ran in the opposite direction of Bun Tal.


    "Do you think you can escape? Wind Wolf, entangle him, and remember to spare his life!" Seeing Blaze Regret''s actions, Bun Tal''s mouth curled into a smile as he gestured to the High tier Wind Wolf nearby.


    Awooo


    The high tier Wind Wolf roared, and four lower tier Wind Wolfs received their orders, pouncing towards Blaze Regret from various directions.


    At the same time, the High tier Wind Wolf also charged forward. If they managed to entangle him, Blaze Regret would undoubtedly lose hope of escaping.


    Before the wind wolf charged to Blaze Regret, Master Magi Ask Blaze Regret to form metal barrier because he will use technique name Sonic Boom that effect mental.


    Before the Master Magi unleashed its Sonic Boom, Blaze Regret''s mental energy surged, instantly forming a mental barrier that enveloped both him and Red, preventing them from being affected by the indiscriminate attack of the Sonic Boom.


    Master Magi took a deep breath, its belly and cheeks quickly swelling up, as if made of two meatballs, one large and one small.


    In an instant, an extremely sharp and piercing sound erupted, and the raging sound waves rapidly spread, encompassing a hundredmeter radius around them.


    Under the onslaught of the astonishing sound waves, even the High tier Wind Wolf noticeably paused, momentarily forced to stop in its tracks.


    The four lower tier Wind Wolfs were even worse off; they felt dizzy, their eardrums ruptured, blood seeping from their ears, and they collapsed helplessly to the ground.


    Not far away, Bun Tal reacted quickly, preemptively covering his ears with mental energy, easily neutralizing the impact of the sound waves.


    Seizing the opportunity, Red quickly broke free from the encirclement and, guided by Blaze Regret, ran towards the outskirts of Tall Mountain. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Damn it, chase after them!" Bun Tal felt embarrassed and immediately commanded his spirit beast to pursue.


    In addition to being extremely envious of the Ice Control Irenix, Bun Tal also didn''t want any information to leak, so he couldn''t let Blaze Regret get away.


    Exclusive tales from m v lemp-yr


    Under Bun Tal''s command, the High tier Wind Wolf sprang into action, transforming into a green silhouette as it chased after the direction Blaze Regret and Red had fled.


    Both parties moved at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from sight.


    In the next moment, Bun Tal jumped onto the back of the Wind Barbarian Bear. Under his guidance, the Wind Barbarian Bear began to stride forward; although its movements were slow, its long strides allowed it to keep pace with the lower tier Wind Wolfs.


    Before long, the four lower tier Wind Wolfs, having recovered, also caught up.


    On the back of the Wind Barbarian Bear, Bun Tal squinted his eyes, his gaze unfocused as he followed the mental connection with the High tier Wind Wolf to sense its precise location.


    A hundred meters ahead, even though Red was giving it her all, it was unable to create distance; instead, the high tier Wind Wolf was closing in on it. While Red speed might not be inferior to that of the High tier Wind Wolf, carrying Blaze Regret affected her pace.


    At that moment, Red used it Blue Flame Demon Fire Boost skill, and Red speed suddenly increased, starting to show signs of pulling away.


    Unfortunately, the good fortune was short lived, as the High tier Wind Wolf also activated its Wind Boost skill, making it even faster and continuing to reduce the distance between them.


    Throughout the chase, Red never looked back; Red skillfully dodged obstacles along the way while focusing on charging forward.


    Closer! Even closer!


    As they ran, Blaze Regret kept an eye on what was behind them. His vision was sharp, and he could vaguely see the figure of the high tier Wind Wolf.


    After a few breaths, the figure of the High tier Wind Wolf became clearer, now less than twenty meters away from Red, ready to launch a ranged attack at any moment.


    However, due to Bun Tal''s instructions, the High tier Wind Wolf did not launch a ranged attack.


    "Ice Control Irenix, use Ice Powder!" Unlike the High tier Wind Wolf, Blaze Regret faced no restrictions and began commanding his spirit beast to attack.


    Under Blaze Regret''s command, Ice Control Irenix quickly mobilized its energy, creating a large amount of Blue Ice powder that began to drift toward the back.


    The High tier Wind Wolf reacted swiftly, and as the Blue Ice Powder moved slowly, it managed to slightly maneuver and evade the area affected by the powder.


    Taking advantage of the opportunity, Red created some distance, but soon the opponent was on her tail again.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Ball!"


    Without hesitation, the Ice Control Irenix raised its forelimbs, and rapidly condensed ice type energy, forming two fist sized clumps of ice, which it hurled at the High tier Wind Wolf.


    Boom, Smack.


    Due to the short distance and high speed of movement, the High tier Wind Wolf couldn''t completely avoid the attack. After dodging one clump of ice ball, it was hit by the other, leaving its wolf face covered in ice Blue. While it didn''t cause much damage, its vision was clearly affected.


    Awooh


    Hit in the face with ice ball felt like being slapped, which infuriated the high tier Wind Wolf, prompting it to let out an angry roar as it prepared to attack.


    Boom


    Unfortunately, with its vision severely obstructed, the high speed high tier Wind Wolf crashed into a small tree about waist high. Its head was quite hard, and it snapped the tree in half.

 Chapter 113: Chapter 113 Wind Barbarian Bear 3

    After knocking down the small tree, the high tier Wind Wolf staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the ground. After vigorously shaking off the ice crystal from its face, it continued the chase.


    As it closed in this time, the furious high tier Wind Wolf held nothing back. Its mouth opened as it began to gather wind attribute energy, forming light blue wind blades that were about to shoot toward Red.


    Its master only instructed to spare Blaze Regret''s life, but did not include Red.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Beam!" Blaze Regret was constantly observing the high tier Wind Wolf and guessed its intentions the moment it opened its mouth.


    At a critical moment, Ice Control Irenix once again mobilized its ice type energy. Under its control, several ice particle suddenly shot down from the sky, quickly wrapping around the High tier Wind Wolf''s forelegs.


    If it had been the Wind Barbarian Bear, those ice particle would likely have been broken apart, but compared to the Wind Barbarian Bear, the Hire lower tier Wind Wolf was significantly smaller in size, weight, and strength.


    Thus, with the ice particle freezing on it, the wolf lost its front legs and tumbled to the ground, the wind blades it had been gathering completely missing their target and slicing a small tree in half.


    By the time the High tier Wind Wolf got back on its feet, Red had already vanished, but that didn''t stump it. The high tier Wind Wolf twitched its nose, sniffing out the lingering scents of Blaze Regret and Red, determined not to give them a chance to escape.

    In a flash, it soon spotted Blaze Regret''s figure again. Its eyes turned slightly red, revealing a predatory glint.


    The earlier embarrassment had made the High tier Wind Wolf absolutely furious with Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret felt equally frustrated; to shake off the wolf, he had even instructed Red to change direction, yet it was still unable to lose the pursuer.


    There was no helping it; the sense of smell in beasts was far too sensitive, making them natural trackers.


    "Since we can''t shake it off, then let''s take it down!" After making up his mind, Blaze Regret commanded Red to change course once more.


    Before long, Blaze Regret reached his destination. Under his guidance, Red jumped forcefully, leaping several meters away.


    Unlike Red, the high tier Wind Wolf charged straight ahead, ignoring everything else.


    Boom


    At this moment, the rapidly running High tier wind wolf suddenly stepped into the air. Before it could react, it tumbled clumsily into a large pit several meters deep.


    This was a trap set in advance by Blaze Regret. Instead of calling it a trap, it would be more accurate to say it was a large concealed pit.


    Although with the strength of a High Tier wind wolf, it could escape in just one or two breaths, if this fleeting opportunity is seized, it could have a very good effect, and might even kill the opponent in one blow.


    "Ice Control Irenix, ice particlel! Red, ram into it!"


    At the moment the High Tier wind wolf stepped into the trap, the prepared Red abruptly halted, not only stopping but also turning direction smoothly.


    At the same time, the Ice Control Irenix landed on the ground, its limbs glowing with a bright ice light that continuously flowed into the earth.


    In an instant, with the trap as the center, the ground in the pit began to change, the soil rapidly turning into freezing land.


    Naturally, the High Tier wind wolf did not sit and wait for its doom. The moment it fell into the trap, it fiercely extended its claws from the pads of its forelimbs, gripping the edge of the trap and leveraging to jump out. It was just about to leap out of the pit.

    Boom


    Unfortunately, before it could completely jump out, Red rammed into it with full force, knocking the High Tier wind wolf back into the pit again.


    In the trap, the High Tier wind wolf stood up clumsily. This time, before it could act, it felt the ground froxen under its feet, its limbs got stcuck by the ice that try to freeze it body, leaving it momentarily unable to find leverage.


    In the frozen pit, the High Tier wind wolf struggled desperately. Its level was higher than the Ice Control Irenix, making it difficult for the ice particle to hold it for long.


    Blaze Regret pull something from Void Realms Stone. It a sleepy powder one of item Master Magi ask him to bring before they start adventure.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret released the Sleepy Powder, dispersing a large amount of bright yellow powder that almost filled the entire pit.


    Although the Sleepy Powder spread slowly, the virtually immobile High Tier wind wolf had no way to escape its range.


    Of course, holding its breath could prevent the Sleepy Powder from taking effect. Unfortunately, the High Tier wind wolf wasn''t that clever, especially with its master not around. By the time it realized what was happening, it had already inhaled quite a bit.


    After inhaling the powder, the High Tier wind wolf felt its head grow heavy, overwhelmed by a deep sense of drowsiness. It tried its best to fight off the sleepiness, but its eyelids felt like they were battling each other, heavy with the urge to close.


    "It''s over. Red, use Fire Claw. Ice Control Irenix, Ice Beam!" With the Sleepy Powder taking effect, Blaze Regret wasn''t about to miss the chance to pummel the fallen wolf. He had to eliminate the High Tier wind wolf before Bun Tal arrived.


    Following Blaze Regret''s command, the Ice Control Irenix opened its mouth, gathering countless ice colored energies.


    Before this, Red had already moved, leaping towards the High Tier wind wolf with the momentum of a tiger.


    In mid air, Red raised its right claw, Blue Flame gathering at the claw, aiming for the High Tier wind wolf''s head.


    If the Fire Claw hit, the High Tier wind wolf would at least be severely injured, if not outright killed.

 Chapter 114: Chapter 114 Wind Barbarian Bear 4

    Faced with the imminent threat to its life, the High Tier wind wolf bit its tongue hard, blood gushing from its mouth. The pain temporarily warded off the drowsiness, but the ongoing effect of the ice particle left it unable to dodge.


    However, this pain triggered the High Tier wind wolf''s ferocity. It raised its head, baring its sharp white fangs, and bit towards Red''s waist.


    Boom, Crunch.


    Stay in the adventure with m-vl-em,py-r


    In an instant, Red''s Fire claw struck the High Tier wind wolf''s head fiercely. At the same time, the High Tier wind wolf bit into Red''s waist, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.


    With a dull thud, the High Tier wind wolf collapsed heavily to the ground, its skull fractured and nearly destroyed.


    On the other side, Red let out a miserable cry. Blood gushed from its waist, the ground around it turning crimson from the profuse bleeding.


    Both sides were severely injured, each receiving critical wounds.


    At this moment, the Ice Control Irenix had finally gathered enough ice energy. It unleashed a torrent of energy from its mouth, instantly engulfing the High Tier wind wolf.


    Awooo¡ª


    The moment it was hit, the High Tier wind wolf''s cries abruptly stopped. When the energy torrent dissipated, the High Tier wind wolf lay on the ground, its eyes wide open, staring unwillingly at Red nearby. It tilted its head and fell silent forever.


    At the exact moment of the High Tier wind wolf''s death, Bun Tal, who was hundreds of meters away, felt the mental link with his wind wolf abruptly sever. His consciousness sea trembled violently, and he couldn''t help but grunt in pain, clearly affected.


    Under the mental shock, even using external spirit power could cause further damage, let alone deploying abilities like a mental barrier. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How is this possible!" Bun Tal couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. At the moment the spirit link was severed, he received a final image.


    When a contracted spirit beast dies, the spirit Master inevitably suffers mental shock due to the spirit link, needing time to recuperate. Because of this link, the final image seen by the dying spirit beast is transmitted to the spirit master.


    From an omniscient perspective, covering a distance of about a hundred meters, Bun Tal ''saw'' the motionless High Tier wind wolf lying in the trap, the severely injured Red, Blaze Regret and the Ice Control Irenix nearby.


    Seeing this scene, Bun Tal could roughly deduce the cause of the High Tier wind wolf''s death, but it made his heart bleed. The loss of the High Tier wind wolf was a significant blow to him.


    He was a Imperial grade Spirit Master, able to contract up to 3 beasts. Both the Wind Barbarian Bear and the High Tier wind wolf were his only two High Tier beasts.


    "Thankfully, it wasn''t my main spirit beast that died, or my fighting power will weaken more than this. Damn it, this grudge must be avenged. I''ll use his Ice control Irenix to compensate for my loss!"


    Bun Tal was filled with resentment. However, from the image he saw, Blaze Regret''s main pet and mount, Red, was also severely injured. Even though the spirit beast can quickly heal themself, but it can''t heal Red''s wounds in a short time.


    Before Red could recover, its mobility would be significantly decrease. Even if it could still be ridden, its speed would likely be slower than the Wind Barbarian Bear.


    For Bun Tal, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. He had to seize every second to catch up, giving his opponent no time to recover.


    Thus, under Bun Tal''s command, the Wind Barbarian Bear continued to stride forward, quickly charging towards the scene of the incident.


    In just about a minute, the Wind Barbarian Bear reached the destination. Seeing the High Tier wind wolf lying lifeless in the trap, its eyes wide open in death, Bun Tal''s face turned ashen as he began to search for Blaze Regret''s whereabouts.


    Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the nearby bushes. Bun Tal turned his head to see Blaze Regret with a panicked expression, hastily fleeing with the Ice Control Irenix.


    In almost the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the cover provided by the bushes, Blaze Regret''s figure flickered and vanished from sight.


    Due to the mental shock, Bun Tal was carefull as possible, and he didn''t know if Blaze Regret had set traps in the jungle.


    "Take him down!"


    To be safe, Bun Tal jumped off the Wind Barbarian Bear, commanding it and two low tier Wind Wolfs to chase after Blaze Regret.


    Bun Tal was very cautious, as who knew if there were traps set by Blaze Regret ahead.


    As a result, Bun Tal was left with only two low tier Wind Wolfs by his side, significantly reducing his level of protection.


    Boom,


    Suddenly, a booming sound came from the jungle not far away, and the Wind Barbarian Bear stepped into a trap.


    Due to the hasty preparation, the trap wasn''t deep and didn''t have sharp objects like bamboo spikes at the bottom.


    For the thick skinned and robust Wind Barbarian Bear, such a trap couldn''t injure it; at most, it would just slow it down a bit.


    "As expected, there are traps!" Bun Tal''s lips curled into a cold smile. He was pleased with his foresight, and instinctively focused his attention ahead, temporarily ignoring the sounds from other directions.


    "Ice partical!"


    As the Wind Barbarian Bear stepped into the trap, the Ice Control Irenix once again activated Ice Partical. Bright ice light continuously rain down into the ground.


    In an instant, the ground around the trap, within a radius of several meters, began to change. The soil quickly turned to freeze and started to freeze the Wind Barbarian Bear leg.


    Compared to the High tier Wind Wolf, the Wind Barbarian Bear was undoubtedly slower and less explosive, making it unable to escape the trap before the soil fully frozen formed.


    In the frozen land, the Wind Barbarian Bear''s legs were completely trapped, making it impossible for it to break free immediately.

 Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Wind Barbarian Bear 5

    At this moment, the two Wind Wolves bypassed the trap and lunged at Blaze Regret.


    "Ice Control Irenix, I''m counting on you!"


    Under Blaze Regret''s command, the Ice Control Irenix, tried its best to entangle the two Wind Wolf.


    Meanwhile, Blaze Regret turned and ran, trying to put distance between himself and the trap.


    Unfortunately, the good times didn''t last long. The Wind Barbarian Bear, being a High tier Spirit Beast, broke free from the frozen land in just a couple of breaths. After escaping the trap, it immediately charged towards Blaze Regret.


    No matter how hard Blaze Regret tried, his speed was no match for the Wind Barbarian Bear. The distance between them quickly shortened, and it wouldn''t be long before he was caught.


    Just as Blaze Regret was leading the Wind Barbarian Bear away, a swift figure suddenly attacked Bun Tal from behind, accompanied by the sound of something cutting through the air.


    The attacker was none other than Red, who had been hiding in the shadows.


    Red had been severely injured while dealing with the High tier Wind Wolf and was temporarily unable to carry Blaze Regret.


    With no other options for escape, Blaze Regret had to make a desperate decision. He hid Red, choosing to attract Bun Tal''s attention himself.


    Blaze Regret was gambling. He was betting that Bun Tal couldn''t use his spirit powers externally and that he wouldn''t dare enter the bushes. As long as he successfully lured away the Wind Barbarian Bear, Red hiding in the shadows, would strike and kill Bun Tal.


    Even though a Imperial spirit Master might know some secret techniques, without powerful spirit beast to guard them, their ability to protect themselves was still quite limited. Moreover, Bun Tal was currently in a state of mental shock.


    "Damn it, stop it!" Bun Tal''s expression changed drastically upon hearing the commotion behind him. He hurriedly commanded the two low tier Wind Wolfs to intercept Red.


    Red transform to it real appearence Blue Flame Demon Cat and easly kill both low tier wind wolfs but Red also increase it injured.


    "Damn it!"


    In the face of the imminent threat, Bun Tal had no choice but to forcibly use his spirit powers, which further aggravated the shock to his consciousness, making his face even paler.


    In an instant, a wind portal appeared, summoning a One Horned Python.


    Besides the two High rank spirit beast, Bun Tal also had one low rank spirit beast, but he rarely summoned it due to it limited strength.


    Unfortunately, before the One Horned Python could grasp the situation, Red appeared before it. Her raised right paw glowed blue as it struck the python''s head fiercely.


    Crack


    With the sound of bones breaking, the One Horned Python''s skull shattered, its brain matter splattered, and it fell heavily to the ground. It twitched a few times and then lay motionless.


    The moment the One Horned Python died, Bun Tal''s mental shock worsened. He felt dizzy, his head spinning, and a sweet taste rose in his throat before he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    When Red see Bun Ta condition. Red moving at lightning speed towards Bun Tal.


    During this process, Red''s mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of sharp, white fangs as she aimed for Bun Tal''s throat.


    "No!" At this moment, Bun Tal was suffering from severe mental shock, he also unable to summon any more spirit beast or use his spirit secret techniques. He was almost entirely defenseless.


    In other words, Bun Tal was now no different from an ordinary person.


    Under Bun Tal''s terrified gaze, Red pounced on him, biting down hard on his neck. Read amazing stories on m_vl_em_p_yr


    Crack~


    Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, blood spurted wildly from Bun Tal''s neck. His head tilted to one side, and his eyes stared blankly at the sky, filled with anger, fear, and regret.


    Bun Tal''s death had nothing to do with his strength. From a purely strength perspective, he far surpassed Blaze Regret. The reason he ended up dead was due to his underestimation and complacency, which ultimately led to his downfall.


    In his attempt to seize the Ice Control Irenix, Bun Tal didn''t kill Blaze Regret outright, allowing him to escape unscathed from the encirclement.


    In his pursuit of Blaze Regret, Bun Tal split up with the High tier Wind Wolf, leading to the high tier Wind Wolf being quickly killed by Blaze Regret and Bun Tal himself suffering from spirit setback, gradually falling into the trap prepared by Blaze Regret.


    As Bun Tal died, nor did Red tend to it wounds. Instead, Red gritted it teeth and, following the spirit link, ran towards Blaze Regret''s location.


    On the other side, just before Bun Tal''s death, the Wind Barbarian Bear broke free from the frozen land''s restraint and charged straight at Blaze Regret.


    Although Blaze Regret tried his best to retreat and create distance, his speed was nowhere near comparable to the Wind Barbarian Bear. In just a few breaths, the bear caught up with him, bringing him within the range of its long distance attacks.


    In the next moment, the Wind Barbarian Bear raised its arms high, its massive paws gathering an aura of wind energy, and slammed them heavily into the ground.


    Wind Spike Forest!


    The ground around them shook violently, and a row of sharp wind spikes emerged in succession from below through the crack, aiming straight at Blaze Regret.


    If struck by the Wind Spike Forest, Blaze Regret would likely end up as a "human slices."


    When the Wind Barbarian Bear raised its arms, Blaze Regret, sensing its intent with his spirit power, reacted without hesitation. He leaped to the side as quickly as possible. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Rip~


    The sound of tearing fabric echoed as Blaze Regret''s left sleeve was torn by the wind spikes, leaving a long gash on his arm.


    Blood oozed out, slowly dripping from his left arm.


    Before Blaze Regret could get up from the ground, the Wind Barbarian Bear, with its massive strides, charged fiercely at him.


    In the blink of an eye, the bear''s foul breath reached him, and it stood before Blaze Regret. The towering paws were raised, ready to smash him into a pile of flesh.

 Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Wind Barbarian Bear 6 (Final)

    At this critical moment, Blaze Regret''s expression changed dramatically. He no longer cared about his image; he rolled to the side like a lazy donkey, and as he did, his spirit power instantly condensed, forming a sun flame wall that covered his entire body.


    Pop~


    As he rolled, the Wind Barbarian Bear''s claws collided with the Sun Flame Wall. The bear''s strength was immense, and in an instant, it tore through the Sun Flame Wall.


    Rip~


    The sound of tearing fabric echoed again. Blaze Regret felt a searing pain on his back, where several deep gashes now marred his flesh. Fortunately, the wounds weren''t too deep and hadn''t reached the bone.


    If it weren''t for the Sun Flame Wall providing some buffer time, he would have faced instant death.


    Even so, Blaze Regret found himself in a perilous situation. The Wind Barbarian Bear''s next attack would be nearly impossible to evade.


    But he didn''t give up. Enduring the pain in his back, he rolled to the side again. Even if he could only buy an extra second or two, he had to try to gain time for Red. Those few seconds might be decisive in determining the outcome.


    Had the situation not been so dire, Blaze Regret wouldn''t have needed to take such a risk by luring away the Wind Barbarian Bear and the two low tier Wind Wolves.


    He had no other choice. He couldn''t just sit and wait for death, he also did not want to always get help from Master Magi. Given the circumstances at the time, he had to take the risk. Now, he could only hope that Red could kill Bun Tal first.


    As Blaze Regret rolled, the Wind Barbarian Bear turned its massive body, took a step forward, and with a foul breath, opened its bloody maw, revealing several sharp fangs, ready to tear into Blaze Regret.


    Just as Master Magi want to take action, the Wind Barbarian Bear''s massive body suddenly trembled violently. It not only halted its attack but also clutched its head in pain, showing a pained expression.


    Roar~


    In intense pain, the Wind Barbarian Bear curled up on the ground. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a feeble roar.


    At the same time, the two low tier Wind Wolves, entangled with the Ice Control Irenix, also paused. However, unlike the Wind Barbarian Bear, they didn''t show any signs of pain and chose to leave immediately, no longer engaging with the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Bun Tal is dead!" The Wind Barbarian Bear''s unusual behavior turned Blaze Regret''s despair into joy, indicating that his plan had succeeded.


    When a spirit beast die, the spirit connection collapses, and the spirit master suffers a backlash. Similarly, if the spirit beast dies, the spirit beast also suffers a backlash, often with greater intensity than that experienced by the spirit master.


    If the spirit master dies, the spirit beast usually suffers permanent mental trauma. This kind of trauma can only be healed by rare treasures and natural materials, almost eliminating the spirit beast''s chance of further advancement.


    To avoid any unforeseen consequences, Blaze Regret scrambled to his feet, using both his hands and legs, and only after putting several dozen meters between him and the danger did he finally sit down heavily on the ground.


    "Hiss, it hurts!" Now temporarily out of danger, Blaze Regret took a sharp breath, the movement tugging at the wounds on his back.


    The tearing pain was intensely "sour" and sharp.


    After the two low tier Wind Wolfs had fled, the Ice Control Irenix didn''t pursue them. It first scanned the area, and upon confirming there was no danger near Blaze Regret, it returned to his side, staring blankly at the curled up Wind Barbarian Bear.


    In this defensive battle, the Ice Control Irenix had played a crucial role. Without it, even if Bun Tal had been careless, it would have been Blaze Regret who perished.


    Soon, the limping figure of Red appeared.


    During the recent battle, Red''s left hind leg had been torn by the low tier Wind Wolves, leaving it severely injured. But it had always been concerned about Blaze Regret''s safety, not daring to relax until it saw him.


    Upon seeing Blaze Regret, Red sighed in relief. Red regained its proud demeanor, lying beside Blaze Regret, its bright Blue Eyes eyes fixed on the nearby Wind Barbarian Bear.


    At that moment, the Wind Barbarian Bear in the distance seemed to have somewhat adapted, slowly rising from the ground. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it stared at Blaze Regret with a ferocious, man eating glare.


    "Finish it off!" Not giving the Wind Barbarian Bear a chance to fully recover, Blaze Regret issued the attack command.


    Seize the opportunity while it''s weak. Red and Ice Control Irenix did not miss the chance to attack the "drowned bear," immediately pouncing on it and jointly besieging the Wind Barbarian Bear.


    The Wind Barbarian Bear, like a fixed target, moved much more sluggishly than before, its resistance weak. Ultimately, Red seized an opportunity and shattered its head with a flame claw.


    Like a collapsing mountain, the Wind Barbarian Bear fell heavily to the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Its limbs twitched once before it lay still, lifeless.


    "Very quickly, Red found a High tier wind element spirit core, as well as a bear gallbladder larger than a bowl, which was the most valuable part of the Wind Barbarian Bear. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Under Red''s guidance, Blaze Regret came to Bun Tal''s corpse.


    Looking at Bun Tal''s corpse, which had its eyes wide open in anger, Blaze Regret felt a faint sense of discomfort, although it wasn''t very strong.


    It wasn''t his first time seeing a dead body, but it was his second time killing someone. Although it was Red who killed Bun Tal, Red was his bonded spirit beast, so it wasn''t much different from him doing the killing himself.


    Blaze Regret took a deep breath, suppressing his inner discomfort. He knew very well that he couldn''t stay on tall Mountain for long. Who knew if there were other spirit master together with Bun Tal? There must be accomplices nearby, possibly even a third tier spiritual imperial spirit master.

 Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Stone Mushroom Monster 1

    If he encountered a third tier spiritual Imperial spirit master, no matter how much Blaze Regret schemed, in the face of absolute strength, he might not even have the hope of escaping.


    Without hesitation, Blaze Regret squatted down and began searching Bun Tal''s bloody corpse. Bun Tal was a second tier spiritual Imperial spirit master, so he should have a lot of valuable possessions.


    Very soon, a pile of items appeared beside Blaze Regret.


    After ensuring nothing was missed, Blaze Regret first picked up a token. This token had special inscriptions to prevent forgery. The front had the character ''Rock,'' and the back had the character ''Desolate.''


    Undoubtedly, this was an identity token.


    After storing the token, Blaze Regret casually picked up a crystal about the size of a baby''s fist. There were more than ten such crystals in total, all of them red in colour and translucent, looking no different from regular crystals.


    The difference was that when holding the crystal, Blaze Regret could feel a special energy. Judging by the nature of the energy, it was fundamentally different from a spirit core."


    "In addition to these, there was also a void realms stones."


    "Damn, a Flame Crystal! Does that mean there''s a fire source vein around here?"


    Master Magi, who had initially shown no interest, snapped his book shut abruptly and even let out a rare curse.


    Blaze Regret stared unblinkingly at the red crystal in his hand. Even though he didn''t know what it was, Master Magi''s reaction made it clear that it was something extraordinary.


    First of all we need to find place to heal your wound first. After finding a perfect place, Master Magi put a barrier to protect Blaze Regret and Red from any harm.


    It take 5 day for Blaze Regret to heal but Red only take two day to heal from it injury. After heal Red go hunting wild spirit beast for meal and spirit core.


    After Blaze Regret injury heal. Master Magi ask him to take out the Flame crystal. Using the flame crystal it will show where the location of fire source vein. What next? Ask Blaze Regret.


    "Just roll the Flame Fire Crystal around on the ground, and you''ll know where exactly it is," Master Magi, perched on a tree trunk.


    Beside him, Blaze Regret kept his lips tightly pressed together, making no noise at all. Red, perched on his shoulder, also held its breath, its small ears twitching.


    "Found it!"


    Finally, Blaze Regret and Master Magi stood before a black cave entrance, Their face filled with indescribable excitement. "The fire source vein should be below. Red, you go in first."


    The Red went in with carefull step and ready if they is a ambush, Red grasped the cave entrance with its claw, and leaped down.


    "Thud!"


    Straightening up slowly, Blaze Regret found himself in a red passageway. Countless red crystals were embedded in the walls, emitting a soft glow.


    These were all Flame Crystals. Stay immersed on m-vlem|p-yr


    "Don''t get distracted. While Flame Crystals are valuable, there are things in a fire source vein a thousand times better than these crystals," Master Magi scold when he saw Blaze Regret''s eyes light up.


    With great effort, Blaze Regret tore his gaze away from the crystals and, with Red, began to walk deeper into the passageway.


    They walked along the fiery red passage for an unknown length of time. Just as Blaze Regret was beginning to feel oppressed by the constant red.


    One faint voices finally reached his ears.


    "So strange, the end is just ahead. Why haven''t i seen any trace of the Stone Mushroom Monsters yet?"


    "I remember, Stone Mushroom Monsters, these spiritual beasts, love enclosed spaces. I guess they must be behind these Flame Crystals right now." S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Bang!"


    As soon as the person finished speaking, a loud sound echoed through the passage, causing Blaze Regret''s body to instinctively tense up.


    "Haha, lucky, i were right!"


    Seeing several gray spiritual beasts clinging to the Flame Crystal walls, The Person couldn''t help but shout excitedly, "I only want that one, the rest i can sell for high price."


    Just as he took a few steps forward, The person suddenly turned around and shouted sternly, "Who''s there? Show yourself!"


    "There''s no one..."


    That person''s voice trailed off, and the latter part of his sentence got stuck in his throat when he saw Blaze Regret slowly walking out from behind, looking helpless.


    "Who are you?" How did you find this place? Only two person know this place. One is me and other one is Bun Tal. That person clenched his fist, his eyes bursting with a cold, murderous intent.


    "You know Bun Tal?" Blaze Regret asked, That person surprised, glancing at Blaze Regret.


    "It''s him, did he told you about this place? Where is he now? He ask me to wait for him here 5 days ago. But now, i don''t where he is. So you want to know where Bun Tal is? Ask Blaze Regret.


    I sorry to disapointent you. Let me help you met him in the heaven. You kill him? " That person said, eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Blaze Regret.


    "Yes, So what will you do?."


    That person looked Blaze Regret up and down with interest. When he noticed that Blaze Regret was just a third grade warrior, he sneered, A third grade spiritual warrior at such a young age is rare. I''ll give you a chance. Come over and kowtow infront me a few times to vent my anger, and I can recommend you to join the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. He never heard any hunting group with that name and what that person connections with the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group.


    "Hey, listen."


    Blaze Regret sighed, his voice slowly filled with exasperation: "Do you find talking to yourselves interesting? Kowtow infront you is something i can''t do, if you''re interested, you can give it a try."


    "Do you want to die?"


    That person turned back, his eyes filled with cold, murderous intent: "Since you''re so ungrateful, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance to live. Wind Barbarian Bear, in ten breaths, cover this passage with this kid''s blood."

 Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Stone Mushroom Monster 2

    Wind barbarian Bear looked indifferently at Blaze Regret and the Red, whose whole body was rising with Blue flames. With a clenched fist, green light wind condensed around it. Stepping with a force that made the fire source mineral veins tremble, it threw a fierce punch.


    "Bang!"


    The air seemed to explode at this moment, and the surging wind made Red''s fur flutter slightly.


    Such an attack made Blaze Regret''s face slightly tense. The fifth grade warrior Wind Barbarian Bear was obviously much Weaker than Bun Tal''s First grade imperial Wind Barbarian Bear. Even without using any spirit techniques, it could deliver such a terrifying blow.


    Seeing this, Red let out a battle filled growl. Its sharp claws spread open, and blazing Blue flames surged up, then it met the attack head on without any avoidance.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks flew, and Red staggered back a few steps, barely stabilizing itself against a fire crystal wall. The Wind Barbarian Bear, surprised that it hadn''t killed the Flame Cat, immediately joined its fists together, raised them high above its head, and slammed them down fiercely.


    With a slight sidestep, Red dodged the Wind Barbarian Bear''s unstoppable strike. Its tail blade swiped out, leaving a long bloody gash on the bear''s arm. New chapters at m v|le|mp|yr


    Competing in strength with Wind Barbarian Bear was clearly unwise. Such spirit beasts possessed overwhelming power, rarely defeated by same grade spirit beasts. But in terms of speed, Wind Barbarian Bear couldn''t keep up with Red at all.


    Feeling the pain in its arm, the Wind Barbarian Bear let out an angry roar and swept its large palm, tearing a long crack in the hard fire crystal wall.


    Rolling on the ground to dodge the attack, Red was about to get up when its fur suddenly stood on end. It quickly rolled another round, just as the Wind Barbarian Bear''s foot stomped heavily on the spot where it had been, causing the ground to cave in.


    The heavy palm strike only caught a few strands of Blue fur, and a look of irritation appeared in Wind Barbarian Bear''s eyes. As it clenched its fist, wind green spiritual energy transformed into sharp wind blade, which then fanned out toward Red with a sweep of its hand.


    Red''s eyes narrowed slightly. Flames surrounded its body, and its aura surged instantly. With a swipe of its tail blade, all the wind blade dissapear.


    "Roar!"


    Wind Barbarian Bear raised both palms, gathering all its spiritual energy. In a blink, a wind blade appear again, ready to attack.


    "I''ve broken this move before," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "How about this one?"


    With a sinister laugh, The person watched as another wind blade formed in Wind Barbarian Bear''s other hand. The ground beneath it sank a few inches from the sudden additional weight.


    "Two of them, huh?"


    Blaze Regret''s voice remained unperturbed. He lifted his face slightly and said softly, "I haven''t broken this one before, but I can break it for you now."


    "Arrogant!" That person sneered dismissively.


    With a low roar, Wind Barbarian Bear launched the two wind blade. They radiated violent energy waves, as if capable of shattering mountains.


    With its eerie Blue eyes, calmly watching the twin wind blade shooting down, the next moment, the Red charged straight up. In the process, its body split into three, each figure with three rapidly spinning fireballs in front.


    The Splitting Shadow is a spirit technique that temporarily splits the body. Each figure is substantial.


    "Boom!"


    With a dull, resounding boom, scattered stones embedded deeply into the ground. Amidst the swirling dust, a Blue figure shot out, panting heavily as it stared at the wind barbarian Bear.


    "Still alive?"


    That person''s eyes narrowed slightly, and then a vicious voice rang out, "Kid, you should be at your limit now. Wind barbarian Bear, charge over and crush that Cat with one palm!"


    Having used the devastating twin wind blade spirit technique, That person''s spiritual power was nearly exhausted. He believed that Blaze Regret, who was merely a third tier spirit warrior, wouldn''t be in much better condition.

    The fifth tier Wind Barbarian Bear, with its physical strength alone, was enough to instantly crush the third tier Blue Flame Demon Cat.


    With a swift motion, Red dodged the Wind Barbarian Bear''s wide palm. Suddenly, a faint mocking expression appeared in its eyes. Three streams of fiery light began to swirl around its body, causing its aura to rapidly ascend to the fourth tier.


    Noticing the sudden increase in Red''s strength, the Wind Barbarian Bear remained indifferent and struck down with another palm. To it, there was no difference between the third and fourth tiers; both were destined to be crushed by its hand.


    However, just as the Wind Barbarian Bear''s palm was about to land, Red let out a soft chirp. Three clusters of Blue demonic fire coalesced, and its entire body shot forward like a rainbow piercing through the sun.


    "Slash!"


    Red''s body directly pierced through the Rock Spirit Bear''s abdomen, sending a jet of blood spraying out.


    With a mid air twist, Red landed lightly on the ground. Its tail hardened immensely and, like a lightning bolt, sliced across the throat of the falling Wind Barbarian Bear.


    This entire scene unfolded in a flash, leaving that person in shock. Just moments ago, the Blue Flame Demon Cat was at a disadvantage, but in the blink of an eye, it had slit the Wind Barbarian Bear''s throat.


    "How can this be?"


    That person stood in a daze. Blaze Regret''s spiritual power was clearly depleted, so how could his Blue Flame Demon Cat still use spirit techniques?


    Suddenly that person screen and touch his head. This is the backlash when spirit beast that had be contract died.


    Confirming that the Wind Barbarian Bear was dead, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief. If Red had used Flame Breath while enduring the twin Wind Blade, even if his spiritual power far exceeded that of a third tier spirit warrior, he would have only managed to injure the Wind Barbarian Bear, not kill it. This victory was entirely due to luck.

 Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Stone Mushroom Monster 3 (Bonus)

    Among all of Red''s spirit techniques, Flame Breath undoubtedly consumed the most spiritual power, especially when used in conjunction with the Blue demonic fire.


    That person shivered all over. As he retreated, he tried to sound fierce but was actually trembling, "Boy, do you know my relationship with the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunters? If you kill me, you''ll face endless pursuit in Hildan Town!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret know where Desolate Spirit Hunter from. That also the main place that he want to go. Look like only hunter know how to go there. Blaze Regret''s lips curled into an amused smile hearing what that person said.


    Spirit Imperial were indeed strong to him now, but using them to threaten him? It just showed how naive That person was.


    The Blue flame''s Demon Cat palm trembled, and its sharp claws extended, mercilessly slashing towards That person''s throat.


    However, just as the claws were about to tear That person''s throat, several fiery red tentacles suddenly shot out from the passage ahead, aiming to pierce the Red.


    With a slight narrowing of its Blue eyes, the Red stomped the ground with its Cat palm and quickly retreated. The tentacles, accompanied by the sound of piercing flesh, fiercely pinned the terrified That person to the crystal wall of fire.


    That person opened his mouth, his face twisted, but he couldn''t make any sound. Blood mixed with his damaged internal organs trickled down from the corners of his mouth.


    "Roar!"


    The Red''s eyes turned icy, and the three Blue streams of light swirling around its body suddenly accelerated, its aura surging instantly.


    The sudden scene startled Blaze Regret, who hadn''t had time to react. He could only see the tentacles that had pierced That person''s body wriggling. That person''s body shriveled at a visible speed.


    "Splat!"


    The tentacle suddenly withdrew but didn''t bring out a single drop of blood. That person fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, resembling a dried up mummy.


    "Lava Octopus."


    A terrifying name suddenly popped into Blaze Regret''s mind. According to legend, in areas rich with flame energy, a type of spirit beast known as the Lava Octopus existed. Any creature caught by it would have their blood drained to form new tentacles.


    Sure enough, from the pitch black passage, a blood red tentacle shot out like lightning, drawing an eerie arc as it aimed to wrap around the Red.


    The tentacle reached in an instant, and the Red''s razor sharp claws slashed fiercely. The sound of metal clashing echoed, yet the seemingly soft tentacle showed not a single scratch.


    "So tough," Blaze Regret''s face darkened. The Red''s claws could tear even a sixth rank spirit beast, yet the Lava Octopus remained unscathed.


    Dodging the Red''s attack, an angry growl echoed from the depths of the dark passage. Fiery red tentacles adhered to the crystal wall of fire, then yanked forcefully.


    "Swish!"


    The Lava Octopus''s form fully emerged, its eyes cold and spinning rapidly. It then lunged at the Red like a flaming wheel.


    In an instant, the entire passage was filled with the Lava Octopus''s body, and the piercing sound of the wind filled the air.


    "Buzz!"


    The Red stared coldly at the approaching Lava Octopus, spreading its Cat claws. Blue red fire ball appeared, darting out like streams of light.


    The spinning Lava Octopus collided with the sharp fire ball in a flash, sending fiery ripples outward.


    With a roar of pain, the Lava Octopus''s body stilled, its tentacles spread wide like a spider''s web, filling the entire passage. The fire ball clashed against the crystal wall of fire, igniting sparks.


    For a moment, the Lava Octopus and the Red stood at opposite ends of the passage, glaring at each other in a standoff that seemed ready to explode. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This big guy really picked the wrong time to show up," Blaze Regret muttered anxiously. The fire source vein that had impressed Master Magi was certainly extraordinary, but with the Lava Octopus blocking the way, he and the Red couldn''t get through.


    The Red, having used the Blue Flame Demon Fire, was already at its peak state. Even so, it couldn''t harm the Lava Octopus. It was clear that continuing the fight would be futile.


    Wait a moment, Red eat this spirit beast food to replenish your energy faster.


    "Whoo!"


    As the Red Eat the spirit beast food, the previously exhausted Red immediately raised its little head high. Blue flames, surged up dramatically.


    The Red instantly became more aggressive, charging straight at the Lava Octopus with its Blue Flame Demon Fire. Blinding sparks continuously flickered in the passage.


    As time passed, the prolonged expenditure of spiritual energy finally showed in the Lava Octopus''s eyes, which began to show signs of fatigue. Meanwhile, the Red fought with increasing ferocity, its swift claws striking faster and faster.


    At last, the Lava Octopus showed a look of terror. With a crunch, its tentacles smashed through the crystal wall of fire and burrowed inside, while its plump body clung tightly to the wall, remaining immovable despite the Red''s fire ring attacks.


    "Save your strength."


    At this moment, Master Magi finally revealed himself. He glanced at the Lava Octopus, now looking like a large red lump, and said with a faint smile, "It''s already given up. A Lava Octopus that admits defeat will hide its tentacles and expose only its body. Its body is the softest yet hardest part to break. Even if your flame Cat reaches the seventh rank, it may not be able to tear it apart."

    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but twitch his mouth. How could there be such a shameless spirit beast on the continent? It acted all fierce and relentless when attacking others, but as soon as it couldn''t win, it started to play dead.


    The Red, seeing the red lump clinging to the fiery crystal wall, was also curious. It gently prodded with its paw, causing the Lava Octopus''s body to wobble like jelly.


    "Shameless!"


    Blaze Regret walked over and gave the Lava Octopus a hard kick. Apart from making its tentacles tighten and cling more closely to the fiery crystal wall, it had no other effect.

    "Phew!"


    Blaze Regret sighed lightly, picked up the rock that got broken from the fight, and doodled a turtle on the Lava Octopus''s round body, erasing the head afterward. Only then did he clap his hands in satisfaction and walk deeper into the passage. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Deep within the passage, the fire light gradually faded. The fire crystal walls here were dim, and it was the same even deeper inside.


    Several mushroom caps, resembling round lids, were tightly attached to the Fire crystal walls. Wisps of flame light streamed into their bodies.


    "Master Magi, are these the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts?" Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over these peculiar creatures as he curiously asked.


    "Indeed, Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts. They are rock type spirit beasts that are naturally drawn to Fire crystals. Through the tempering of the Fire crystal''s energy, their bodies become even tougher," Master Magi said with a faint smile as he flipped through a tattered book.


    Blaze Regret smacked his lips lightly, a hint of excitement emerging in his eyes. Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts were also high level spirit beasts, and they seemed much stronger than the Wind Barbarian Bears. If he could take them out and sell them somewhere, he wouldn''t have to worry about money for a short time.


    He brushed his hand across his waist, and a spirit realms stone appeared in his hand. Blaze Regret infused it with his spirit energy, causing a Blue light to emanate and envelop one of the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts.


    "Why isn''t it working?" Blaze Regret furrowed his brows in confusion as he watched the Rock Mushroom Spirit beast remain completely still.


    "Of course not. Do you think they are young spirit beast, with no sense of resistance?" Master Magi shook his head with a wry smile. With a wave of his hand, a golden blade of light flashed out, slicing through the Fire crystal wall to which the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts were attached.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret quickly infused his spirit energy into the spirit realms stone again. This time, a flash of earth yellow light appeared, and the rapidly shrinking Rock Mushroom Spirit beast was swiftly absorbed into the spirit realms stone. The small crystal in the center of the spirit stone turned to a color resembling rock.


    With a joyful expression, Blaze Regret hurriedly took out the remaining spirit realms stones and collected all the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts, a total of four.


    "Could this be the end?" Blaze Regret looked towards the depths of the passage, where a pitch black Fire crystal wall stood.


    "How could it be? We''re just getting started," Master Magi chuckled and shook his head. He then placed his hand on the Fire crystal wall and applied a little force. Instantly, the pitch black Fire crystal wall shattered like fragile glass.


    "Wow!" Join us on m-vl-em,py-r


    As soon as the Fire crystal wall at the end shattered, a scorching wave of heat surged forward, causing Blaze Regret''s robe to flutter wildly.


    "So hot," Blaze Regret muttered, wiping away the sweat that trickled down his face. Despite the heat, a sense of joy welled up within him. There was no doubt that the depths of this fire source mine were a paradise for fire type spirit beasts.


    With a flick of his remaining spirit realms stone, four glowing Night Feather Fireflies emerged, their wings as thin as cicada wings fluttering as they flew out, illuminating the dark pit.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret followed the four Night Feather Fireflies deeper into the fire source mine. Behind him, the Red continued to hop and sputter, releasing the remaining violent energy of the Black Flame Mud.


    "Tap! Tap!"


    Hot flame particles swept in from deeper within, and in the quiet passage, only the soft sound of their footsteps echoed.


    "Damn!"


    Focused on the path ahead, Blaze Regret suddenly found himself stepping into thin air, nearly falling. Regaining his balance, he looked down and his eyes widened in shock.


    Below was a vast cavern with scalding magma flowing slowly, white mist rising from its surface. Only a few protruding rocks were not covered by the magma.


    Swallowing hard, cold sweat instantly beaded on Blaze Regret''s forehead. If he fell, he would either be crushed to death or scalded alive by the magma.


    "Having fun?" Master Magi asked, arms crossed, a mocking smile on his lips.


    Blaze Regret could only roll his eyes in response.


    After a moment of contemplation, Blaze Regret took a rope out of his void realms stone. But as soon as it dangled down, a flame ignited at its end, quickly racing up and turning the entire rope to ashes in an instant.


    "How are we supposed to get down there?" Blaze Regret asked helplessly, shrugging as he watched the ashes scatter in the air.


    "At critical moments, your master has to step in."


    Master Magi smiled faintly and flicked his finger. A golden energy shield instantly enveloped Blaze Regret and the Red, slowly lowering them downwards.


    "It won''t get burned, will it?" Blaze Regret poked the energy shield, his face full of apprehension.


    Hearing this, Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret, feeling slightly insulted.


    "Sss!"


    The golden energy shield landed on the magma and sank slightly before floating on the surface.


    With a wave of his hand, Master Magi propelled the energy shield forward, creating a long trail across the magma as if it were water.


    "Snap!"


    A clear collision sound echoed as a ripple spread across the surface of the energy shield. Blaze Regret turned around in shock, only to see a fish, glowing with flames, fall back into the magma. It was evident that this creature had just collided with the energy shield.


    "Flame Sun Fish, it only grows in magma. If consumed by a fire type spirit beast, it can enhance its spiritual power. Conversely, if the Flame Sun Fish consumes a fire type spirit beast, its own strength will increase substantially," Master Magi explained calmly.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as Master Magi finished speaking, a much larger Flame Sun Fish, dozens of times bigger than the previous one, leaped out of the magma before falling back in. Its appearance suggested it had already reached the ninth rank mid level warrior grade!

 Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Fishing

    "Master Magi, if Red consumes that creature, can it advance to the next level?" Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed with excitement.


    "I think the possibility of it being eaten is higher," Master Magi replied with a playful nod.


    "Roar!"


    Red waved its claws, looking indignant.


    Although the Flame Sun Fish is of the ninth rank, it is only at the mid level warrior grade. With Red''s strength, using the Flame Breath, the sharp Flame Claw are enough to tear through its defenses.


    "Don''t be so defiant. This fire source vein is the territory of the Flame Sun Fish. They can easily call a group of fish to come out," Master Magi said, giving Red a casual glance.


    "Is there any way to get them onto the shore?" Blaze Regret asked, looking at the exposed rocky ground not far away, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.


    "Of course. The Flame Sun Fish is the greatest treasure of the fire source vein, so we can''t waste it."


    Master Magi clenched his palm, turning a Flame Sun Fish that had jumped to attack the energy shield into a drop of crimson liquid, and then tossed it to Red.


    Red''s eyes lit up as it swallowed the liquid formed from the Flame Sun Fish. Instantly, flames surged on its claws, a sign of spiritual power rapidly circulating, reaching the pinnacle effect when used in conjunction with the Black Flame Mud.


    Moving to the edge of the rocky ground, the golden energy shield exploded with a snap, pushing back the pursuing Flame Sun Fish in an instant.


    "Tsk tsk, we can relax a bit today."


    Master Magi looked at the towering stone marrow on the rocky ground and suddenly raised an eyebrow, chuckling lightly.


    As his foot tentatively stepped out, Blaze Regret was surprised to find that the rocky ground was actually cold, in stark contrast to the scorching lava at the edge.


    "Fishing, how do you fish?" Blaze Regret curiously asked Master Magi.


    Read now on m_vl_em_p_yr


    Master Magi faintly smiled and rubbed his hands together. As spiritual energy gathered, a long fishing rod materialized, shimmering with a golden light.


    "With a fishing rod, you need bait."


    Master Magi''s gaze shifted slightly, staring at the towering stone marrow. He waved his hand, and the stone marrow instantly shattered, leaving behind a kind of crystalline red jade marrow.


    "This thing is called Flame Spirit Marrow. When the Flame Sun Fish eats it, it can grow quickly. Fortunately, the lava didn''t reach here, otherwise, this thing would have been completely destroyed," Master Magi explained to Blaze Regret, picking up a bit of the crystalline red jade marrow.


    "Are we using this as bait?" Blaze Regret asked excitedly. Every part of this fire source mine fascinated him, a rookie who had just left town not long ago.


    "Watch."


    Master Magi sat cross legged in mid air, rolled a small piece of Flame Spirit Marrow into a ball, placed it on the hook, and then with a flick of his arm, the golden fishing line dropped into the lava.


    The float bobbed up and down. Before long, Master Magi''s hand twitched, and the fishing line leaped. A third tier Flame Sun Fish fell onto the rocky ground, struggling to return to the lava.


    Seeing this, Red hurriedly pounced on it. The Flame Sun Fish, which had been slapping the ground, instantly turned into a drop of red liquid and was swallowed by Red.


    Licking its lips, Red''s eyes showed a fiery gleam. As the beneficiary, it naturally knew how beneficial this liquid from the Flame Sun Fish was for it.


    "I''ve shown you the method. You can play by yourself. I won''t interfere," Master Magi said, tossing the fishing rod to Blaze Regret and lazily lying down on a rock.


    Taking the fishing rod, Blaze Regret gently caressed it a few times, then imitated Master Magi''s actions, rolling the Flame Spirit Marrow into a small ball, placing it on the hook, and lightly casting it out.


    However, to Blaze Regret''s frustration, before he could reel in the line, the Flame Spirit Marrow on the hook was already nibbled clean by the Flame Sun Fish.


    "Let''s try again."


    Glancing at Red, who was squatting nearby, Blaze Regret stubbornly cast the line again. The result was the same: the cunning Flame Sun Fish were not without intelligence. After licking off the Flame Spirit Marrow, they immediately let go, their tails slapping the lava as they shot Blaze Regret a mocking look from the shore.


    Blaze Regret twitched his mouth but remained undeterred. Finally, on the fifth try, he managed to catch a fourth tier Flame Sun Fish. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Under Red''s paw, the Flame Sun Fish turned into red liquid. Surprisingly, this time it produced two drops, which swirled together before being absorbed by Red.


    Noting Red smacking its lips, Blaze Regret had a thought: it seemed the higher the tier of the Flame Sun Fish, the more golden liquid it produced. He wondered how many drops the largest Flame Sun Fish in the lava lake could turn into.


    After swallowing dozens of drops of red liquid, Red finally slowed its consumption, squatting on the ground to digest the excess energy within.


    Blaze Regret''s hands, however, did not stop. He continued to reel in one Flame Sun Fish after another, until eventually, a scattering of red liquid droplets, like pearls, covered the rocky ground.


    Just as Blaze Regret was enjoying the fishing, attaching another piece of Flame Spirit Marrow to the hook, he suddenly noticed something. At the spot where they had descended, a spirit beast was watching them eagerly, it was the Lava Octopus.


    "What does it want?" Blaze Regret was speechless. This Lava Octopus was constantly redefining his understanding of spirit beasts.


    "What else could it want? It''s eyeing the flame energy from the Flame Sun Fish. It doesn''t dare come down itself, with so many high tier Flame Sun Fish in the lava lake, one bite from each would tear it apart," Master Magi remarked leisurely from where he lay resting on a rock.

 Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Fire Spike Ring

    The Lava Octopus, perched on a high spot, had its eyes wide open, its soft tentacles waving in a cutesy manner


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s face darkened. He had met many shameless people, but this was his first time encountering a shameless spirit beast. Just a while ago, it had tried to kill them, and now it was putting on such an expression.


    Watching the Lava Octopus fidget restlessly, Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. "Let''s bring it down. Red is digesting slowly, and the excess would just go to waste anyway."


    "Suit yourself." Master Magi flicked his fingers, and a golden energy shield enveloped the Lava Octopus, bringing it down to the rocky surface.


    The Lava Octopus landed cautiously, casting a wary glance at Blaze Regret and Red. When its gaze fell on Master Magi, it trembled, its eyes filled with deep fear; in its perception, Master Magi was an absolutely terrifying existence.


    Seeing that Master Magi paid it no heed, the Lava Octopus relaxed with a sigh of relief. Its tentacle curled around and, while Red was not paying attention, sneakily shoved a drop of red liquid into its mouth.


    "This level of shamelessness would do well even in the Spirit Master realm," Blaze Regret remarked, both amused and exasperated by the Lava Octopus''s antics.


    At that moment, Red suddenly squatted down, spreading its paws. On one paw, the Fire Spike Ring rapidly appeared.


    "Hmm?" Master Magi slightly opened his eyes, observing Red with a contemplative look.


    Red''s body trembled slightly, pain evident on its face as all its spirit energy surged towards its right paw, causing the energy there to churn even more violently.


    "Buzz!"


    In the next instant, the churning spirit energy rapidly condensed, and in a blink, a Fire shape like Spike Ring, , materialized!


    "Is that... Fire Spike Rings?" Blaze Regret''s mouth gaped in astonishment. He hadn''t expected that after absorbing the energy from the Flame Sun Fish, Red would not use it to enhance its strength but instead use it to learn new technique Fire Spike Ring!


    The Fire Spike Ring was already enough to slay a seventh tier spirit beast!


    Realizing this, Blaze Regret felt his mouth go dry. Although the Spirit Skill Flame Breath played a part, the thought of jumping four tiers in combat prowess was something unimaginable in the past. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!"


    After maintaining this state for a while, Red suddenly wobbled, and the Fire Spike Rings uncontrollably shot out, skimming across the lava and leaving long trails behind.


    "So that''s how it is. The spirit energy consumed by Fire Spike Rings is not simply additive but exponentially greater. It seems that condensing the Fire Spike Rings has drained all of Red''s spirit energy, making it impossible to maintain their operation any longer," Master Magi''s thoughts raced. Even so, he looked at Red with newfound respect.


    Achieving this feat showed that Red''s intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary spirit beasts.


    Seeing the Fire Spike Rings fly out, the Lava Octopus shivered, and the red droplet on its tentacle slipped off, splashing onto the ground with a plop. From those Fire Spike Rings, it sensed a chilling aura.


    With a swift motion of its tentacle, it gathered a large pile of the pearl like red liquid from the ground. The Lava Octopus then retreated to a corner, slowly consuming the liquid, fearful that one wrong move from Red might result in it being cleaved in two.


    In the spacious cave, magma flowed slowly, and a scorching heat rose from it. Bubbles burst on the surface of the magma, releasing white mist that made the air appear slightly distorted. On one side of the magma was a stretch of green rocky ground, where a man and a Cat sat quietly.


    After a while, Blaze Regret gently put down his fishing rod, and the nearby Red let out a breath of hot air that merged with the waves of fire surging from the magma.


    "Buzz!"


    Red spread its claws, and a rings of Blue fire spikes floated above its palms, rotating slowly and emitting a slight whistling sound.


    In an instant, Red clenched its claws slightly, and the rings of fire spikes turned into wisps of Blue flames and dissipated.


    "To control them freely, you would need to advance to the fourth tier; otherwise, there won''t be enough spiritual power," Master Magi said calmly.


    Hearing this, Red drooped its little ears, clearly dissatisfied with the result.


    "After absorbing so much essence from the Flame sun fish, your little Cat has completely stabilized at this stage. To advance to the fourth tier, it just needs an opportunity," Master Magi said with a smile.


    Blaze Regret nodded helplessly and sighed inwardly. How could he not understand these principles? But such opportunities were hard to come by.


    Raising his face slightly, Blaze Regret looked at the stone wall behind him and suddenly his pupils contracted slightly.


    Hurriedly standing up, Blaze Regret walked quickly to the stone wall, wiped his hand over it, and a stone lock like object appeared in his view. Experience the journey at m-vl-em-py-r


    "A lock? Could it be that there''s a door hidden inside this stone wall?" Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly.


    "Finally noticed, did you?" Master Magi floated up and said with a smile.


    Red saw Blaze Regret directing his gaze over and swiped its claws, sending the fire spike rings shooting out. However, they dissipated upon touching the stone lock.


    "Always relying on brute force," Master Magi said, giving Blaze Regret a sidelong glance.


    Floating in front of the stone lock, Master Magi traced the patterns on it with his palm, a strange light flickering in his eyes.


    "This stone lock was actually forged by a spirit Lord expert. To open it, you need the key. If you try to force it open, the array inside will automatically reinforce itself, and it won''t be able to be opened again for three months," Master Magi said slowly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret immediately frowned. Judging by the dust on it, this was something left from many years ago. Even if there was a key, who knew where it could be?

 Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Blue Wing Flower 1

    As Blaze Regret''s eyes scanned around for the key, the lava octopus that had been hiding and secretly consuming the essence of the Flame sun fish suddenly rolled its eyes. It opened its mouth slightly and spat out a rusty key.


    The lava octopus raised the key high with its tentacles, looking somewhat pleased with itself.


    "A key?" Blaze Regret felt a bit dazed. Just when he needed one, it appeared. Seeing the smug look on the lava octopus, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality.


    After wiping off the liquid on it, Blaze Regret gently inserted the key into the lock. With a creaking sound, the stone walls on both sides quickly parted and moved away.


    Watching the moving stone walls, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief and immediately commanded four Night Feather Fireflies to fly in. Their faint light dispelled the darkness behind the stone wall.


    "Boom!"


    Red opened its mouth and spat, causing a Blue flare to explode inside, but no reaction followed. Only then did Blaze Regret feel reassured enough to walk in slowly, though his body remained tense, ready to respond to any sudden situation.


    The space behind the stone wall was a vast dark room.


    Blaze Regret''s gaze wandered around before finally focusing on a table in the middle of the room. On the tabletop was an exotic Blue flower, blooming mysteriously, with a faint Blue glow flowing over its petals.


    As Blaze Regret stared at the flower, he suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that the flower had only half bloomed and hadn''t fully opened.


    "What a beautiful flower."


    Blaze Regret''s steps moved uncontrollably towards the table. Suddenly, a blue light blade shot out violently from the stone wall on the right, slashing fiercely at Blaze Regret.


    "Hmph, if one dies, so be it. Why leave all this troublesome stuff behind?"


    Master Magi waved his sleeve, and with a sweep of wind, Blaze Regret quickly retreated. The blue light blade embedded itself into the opposite stone wall with a clang. Immediately, countless light blades shot out from both sides of the stone walls, creating streaks of afterimages.

    "That flower is strange!" Blaze Regret''s face turned extremely grim. He was almost sliced into pieces.


    "It''s not the flower; it''s the stone table beneath the flower," Master Magi shook his head slightly. He opened his palm and then clenched it abruptly. The blue light blades that had been shooting incessantly suddenly froze in mid air and then shattered with a crisp crack.


    "Now, go ahead."


    Floating in front, Master Magi saw Blaze Regret, who was still shaken, and motioned for him to follow. Blaze Regret hurriedly followed while cursing the instigator under his breath. He was just a spiritual warrior; even if he knew what was inside, he wouldn''t be able to handle it.


    "But something doesn''t seem right," Blaze Regret muttered as he walked. He had only made it past the magma with Master Magi''s help. If it were anyone else without the strength of a spirit Lord, they wouldn''t even think about coming here.


    With a wave of his sleeve, a faint white mist spread over the surface of the stone table. The curious lava octopus that followed immediately felt drowsy and finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground.


    "Netherworld Flower powder. This substance can bewilder the mind, and even spiritual Lord can''t resist it," Master Magi explained.


    Keep exploring on m-vl-em-pyr


    "And this flower..." Blaze Regret glanced at Red, who was eyeing the flower greedily, and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Blue Wing Flower. It''s said that when it fully blooms, each petal will spread out like wings in the wind, hence the name. As for its specific effects, you''ll have to wait for your Flame Cat to refine it," Master Magi''s words confirmed Blaze Regret''s suspicion that the flower had only half bloomed.


    "Can it be ripened?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi with an eager expression, much like the lava octopus earlier. The feeling of only being able to see but not use the flower was excruciating; it was almost better not to have discovered it at all.


    "Ripening it is too difficult. This kind of flower is extremely fragile. However, as long as there''s an abundance of fire elemental energy, this flower will surely bloom ahead of time."


    Master Magi smiled faintly and with a swirl of his sleeve, the scattered crimson liquid outside the stone wall quickly gathered and merged into a single mass. In the palm of Master Magi''s hand, it spun wildly, becoming visibly more concentrated.


    "Go."


    Master Magi flicked his finger, and the fire red liquid floated above the eerie flower. After hovering for a moment, it gently dripped down.


    The fire liquid flowed into the heart of the flower. The Blue wing flower was surrounded by a faint mist, and each petal quickly unfurled.


    "Not enough."


    Master Magi said calmly, opening his palm and aiming at the lava lake outside, then clenching his fist abruptly.


    "Boom!"


    Pillars of lava shot up instantly, along with flying Flame sun fish. All those fish exploded, turning into droplets of red liquid that gathered into Master Magi''s palm.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret felt an overwhelming urge to curse. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Master Magi.


    "Cultivation is too tense; it''s good to relax a bit."


    Master Magi chuckled mischievously. The dense liquid in his palm dripped down, causing the Blue wing flower to sway, exuding a vibrant life force.


    As the droplets fell, the purple flower became more and more radiant. Each petal was so dense it seemed ready to drip with water. When they slightly spread, they looked like luxurious wings.


    "Did it succeed?" Blaze Regret asked, delighted as he looked at the Blue wing flower.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s delighted voice echoed, the Blue wing flower suddenly trembled. Beams of light intertwined around it, rapidly breaking free from the soil in the flowerpot and shooting towards the stone wall.


    "I knew it."


    Master Magi grinned. A powerful suction force erupted from his palm, causing the blue wing flower to feel as if it was stuck in mud, unable to move.

 Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Blue Wing Flower 2 (Bonus)

    As Master Magi''s hand lowered, the blue wing flower slowly descended, carefully cradled between the claws of the Red Flame.


    "It can actually fly¡­" Blaze Regret was speechless. If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a flower could run faster than him.


    "The strange tales and anecdotes of the continent, whether you''ve heard of them or seen them, are far too few," Master Magi said with a shake of his head and a smile. To him, Blaze Regret was like a fledgling bird that had not truly seen the world. Of course, even those so called Spirit Imperial and Spirit Lord were the same in his eyes.


    Licking its tongue lightly, Red blinked its eyes and swallowed the blue wing flower in one gulp. After a satisfied burp, it smacked its lips, still wanting more.


    "Oooh!"


    After swallowing the blue wing flower, Red slowly closed its eyes. It could feel the flower rapidly breaking down inside its body, then flowing along its meridians, gathering in its eyes.


    Suddenly, a wave of pain filled its eyeballs. The veins around Red''s eyes bulged like earthworms, gently throbbing.


    "What''s happening!" Blaze Regret''s heart raced as he saw Red twitching in pain.


    "I thought the blue wing flower would enhance its claws, but it turns out it''s strengthening its eyes," Master Magi muttered softly.


    "Oooh!"


    Red howled to the sky, blue ripples spreading from its eyes. As time passed, the ripples grew more intense.


    After a moment of silence, Red''s eyes suddenly opened, shooting out two blue beams that left clear marks on the hard stone wall.


    As the beams faded, Red''s blue eyes shimmered with a demonic light. When Blaze Regret met its gaze, he felt a sudden sense of confusion. The scenery around him changed rapidly, and in an instant, he found himself back in the forest surrounding four wild low tier wind Wolfs and ome high tier wind wolfs .


    Seeing the five wind wolfs closing in quickly, Blaze Regret''s soul almost left his body as he hurriedly summoned a barrier of Fire Flame.


    "Oooh!"


    At that moment, Red''s soft chirp suddenly brought Blaze Regret back to reality. The secret chamber behind the stone wall was still within his sight.


    "Interesting."


    Master Magi grinned. "A mutated spirit skill of the cat spirit? Its charm effect far surpasses that of an ordinary cat spirit. Forget about you, even a Spirit Imperial standing here would fall for it."

    Hearing this, Blaze Regret looked at the smug Red in astonishment. He hadn''t expected that this little fellow would gain such a significant benefit from the blue wing flower.


    "And what about those two beams?" Blaze Regret pointed to the scratches on the wall, swallowing hard.


    "Preliminary assessment suggests they can rival mid level Imperial grade spirit skills. Moreover, if its eyes continue to be enhanced in the future, the power of these beams will further increase," Master Magi replied with a smile.


    Looking into Red''s blue eyes made Blaze Regret feel dizzy. This was a mid level Imperial grade spirit skill, far more formidable than the Ring of Fire Spikes!


    Moreover, after refining the blue wing flower, Red''s strength naturally reached the fourth tier.


    "Alright, the valuable items in this Fire Source Vein have all been collected. Rest for the night and prepare to leave," Master Magi said solemnly.


    Nodding, Blaze Regret took out some jerky from the void realmz Stone and spirit beast food for Red. The Lava Octopus, having regained its strength, shamelessly came over, acting as if it were very familiar with Blaze Regret and ate heartily, completely ignoring Red''s cold glare.


    After eating and drinking his fill, Blaze Regret yawned softly, then took out a piece of thin cloth from the void realms Stone, spread it on the ground, and lay down. A full day of non stop activity had truly drained his energy.


    Having just broken through, Red was evidently full of energy. It hopped around and went to the magma lake, using its tail to fish for Flame sun fish.


    Seeing this, the Lava Octopus looked at Red with a face full of admiration, bowing down beside it. The next day, when Blaze Regret saw the Lava Octopus using its tentacles to massage Red''s back, he was utterly dumbfounded.


    "How much can we sell these Flame Crystals for?" Blaze Regret asked reluctantly as they walked through the passage.


    "Hehe, this is just the beginning. There are countless treasured places on the continent. In the future, you will see places hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times better than this," Master Magi said with a carefree smile.


    Climbing out from the cave bottom, Blaze Regret saw the sun in the forest and couldn''t help but take a deep breath of the cool air. The violent fire elements in the mine had almost made his breath feel scorching.


    Seeing Blaze Regret and the others all come out, the Lava Octopus waved its tentacle and tossed out a fire attribute spirit core before quickly retreating back into the cave.


    "Slap!"


    Catching the spirit core with one hand, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Spirit beasts were rare in the Fire Source Vein, and spirit cores were even rarer. The Lava Octopus must have considered this thing a treasure and gave it to him. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Shaking his head with a faint smile, Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi. "Wait a moment, I''ll restore this place to its original state."


    Without waiting for Master Magi''s reply, Blaze Regret stuffed all the surrounding soil back into the cave, filling it tightly until there was no sign that it had ever been a passage.


    As for the surface, Blaze Regret didn''t bother too much. The mountain range had many spirit beasts, and battles were frequent, so the ground being damaged like this was quite common.


    After walking for a while, a somewhat dilapidated inn appeared in Blaze Regret''s sight.


    "Go to the inn. Many members of Spirit Hunting groups usually choose to rest there," Master Magi whispered.

 Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Meeting Muk Karthik Again (Bonus)

    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret, dragging his somewhat tired steps, entered the inn. His arrival did not attract anyone''s attention; after all, there were too many adventurers like him every day.


    "Have you heard? A group of bandits appeared recently in the north. They kill everyone they see and rob everything, extremely rampant."


    "Oh, I thought it was some news. The leader is just a fourth tier spiritual warrior. A few days ago, he was dealt with by a passing spiritual Imperial."


    "That''s a shame; I wanted to see for myself."


    "You? Don''t be ridiculous. You might see it but won''t come back alive."


    As soon as Blaze Regret sat down, the sound of bragging and idle chatter immediately filled the air. Every voice was particularly rough.


    With a discreet glance around, Blaze Regret found that the strength of those in the inn was not particularly high. The most prominent one was just a fourth tier spiritual warrior.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret had a general idea. Unlike in Veloria City, this was just a small place. A slightly stronger spiritual warrior here was considered a strong person, not to mention a spiritual Imperial.


    "It certainly is a suitable place for training."


    Blaze Regret picked up a teacup and took a gentle sip, trying to adapt to the atmosphere here.


    "Young Master Blaze?"


    At that moment, a voice filled with disbelief suddenly rang out, causing Blaze Regret to pause.


    He saw a spiritual warrior at a nearby table holding a wine cup, staring at him in a daze, his face full of confusion, as if he couldn''t believe what he was seeing.


    "Muk Karthik?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with surprise upon seeing the person. He hadn''t expected to run into someone he knew in such a remote place.


    "It''s really you?"


    Seeing this, Muk Karthik hurriedly carried his wine cup over, quickly sat down opposite Blaze Regret, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Young Master Blaze, what are you doing here?"


    "Just call me Blaze Regret. I''m here for some training, that''s all," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    "Young Blaz, Blaze Regret, this place is very different from Veloria City. People here are treacherous, and there are many fierce spiritual beasts. You never know when you might lose your head. It''s nowhere near as safe as in the city," Muk Karthik warned.


    "Are those your friends?" Blaze Regret glanced at a few people who were looking their way and smiled lightly, not wanting to continue the previous topic.


    "Yes, let me introduce them to you. The strongest one is Yun Anuar, our Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group''s leader, a seventh tier spiritual warrior. The girl next to him is Yun Suhaila, a third tier spiritual warrior. As for the other one, his name is Xen kai, also a third tier spiritual warrior like Yun Suhaila," Muk Karthik introduced them one by one.


    As Muk Karthik introduced them, Yun Anuar gave Blaze Regret a hearty smile, while Yun Suhaila lowered her head and continued eating, seemingly uninterested in Blaze Regret. Xen Kai, on the other hand, showed a faint expression of disdain.


    Since leaving Veloria City, Blaze Regret had Red use Cat Charm to disguise his strength, making him appear as a first tier spiritual warrior. No wonder Yun Suhaila and Xen Kai had such expressions.


    "Don''t mind him, Blaze Regret. Xen Kai is just like that, he looks down on everyone and rarely puts anyone in his eyes," Muk Karthik said with an awkward smile, somewhat regretting introducing these people to Blaze Regret.


    After all, Blaze Regret''s apparent strength was only that of a first tier spiritual warrior. In the outside world, where strength was paramount, no one cared about his background as a young master of the Blaze family. Being looked down upon was normal, and in more extreme cases, being robbed and killed wasn''t uncommon.


    "By the way, what does your Spirit Hunting Group usually do?" Blaze Regret asked curiously, showing great interest in this unique organization.


    "Hehe, our Spirit Hunting Group does a variety of things. Whether it''s dealing with spiritual beasts, gathering spiritual herbs, or collecting medicinal materials, we handle it all. In other words, there''s nothing we can''t do," Muk Karthik said, becoming excited as he spoke.


    "Hmph, he''s from a prominent family. A small Spirit Hunting Group might not even catch his eye," Xen Kai said in a sarcastic tone while eating.


    As Xen Kai''s voice spread, the inn suddenly fell silent. One by one, people looked at Blaze Regret with various expressions, ranging from surprise and greed to murderous intent.


    Your source is m-vl|em|p,yr


    In the lawless wilderness, a family scion was nothing more than a lamb to them. Muk Karthik''s earlier address of Blaze Regret as Young Master Blaze hadn''t drawn any attention, but Xen Kai''s words instantly made everyone realize his identity.


    "Bang!"


    Yun Anuar slammed the table heavily and said fiercely, "What the hell are you all looking at? This is my friend. If anyone keeps staring, I''ll twist their heads off!"


    Under the intimidation of Yun Anuar, a seventh tier spiritual warrior, everyone quickly lowered their heads. After a long while, the inn returned to its previous bustling and noisy state.


    Blaze Regret gave Yun Anuar a grateful smile. Although he wasn''t afraid of these people, attracting their attention would have been troublesome.


    "Hehe, our leader is quite loyal, isn''t he? Don''t worry, with him around, no one will dare to touch you," Muk Karthik said smugly, hiccuping and exhaling a bit of alcohol breath.


    "Whimper~"


    Red lay on the table, its Blue eyes coldly staring at Xen Kai.


    "What a beautiful little Cat."


    Upon seeing Red, the coldness on Yun Suhaila''s face instantly vanished, replaced by a smile as warm as spring water. Within a few breaths, she brought a fragrant breeze with her and sat beside Blaze Regret, reaching out her delicate hand to pet Red''s little head.


    "Swish!"


    Red reflexively shrank its head back, its sharp claws leaving a slight scratch on the back of Yun Suhaila''s hand. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She took a light, sharp breath and quickly withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes now misted with a faint layer of tears.

 Chapter 126: Chapter 126 Dead weight

    "How dare you scratch Suhaila! You''re courting death!"


    Xen Kai put down his chopsticks and took a few large strides to Blaze Regret''s table, angrily extending his hand to grab Red''s tail, intending to lift it up.


    "Try touching it, and see what happens!"


    Blaze Regret''s face turned cold, and his sharp gaze locked onto Xen Kai.


    Xen Kai was stunned for a moment when he felt Blaze Regret''s cold gaze on him. Immediately, an uncontrollable anger swirled in his eyes. Since when could a mere First Grade Spirit warrior dare to challenge a Third Grade Spirit warrior?


    "So what if I did? What can you do about it?"


    Xen Kai sneered coldly. He raised his hand, intending to grab Red fiercely. He not only wanted to act but wanted to crush this little Cat right in front of Blaze Regret!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with a cold light. He curled his two fingers, and a scorching, fiery red spiritual power emanated. If Xen Kai dared to lower his hand, Blaze Regret was confident he could cripple his entire arm in an instant.


    "Forget it."


    Seeing this, Yun Suhaila hurriedly pushed Xen Kai''s hand away. Even though Red had scratched her, she didn''t blame it. After all, girls are often very fond of such fluffy little animals.


    "Since you say forget it, I''ll let it go this time."


    Xen Kai glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, then turned around and went back to the table to continue eating. However, his gaze still carried a chill as he occasionally glanced at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret slightly frowned and dispersed the spiritual power at his fingertips. He had always been unwilling to deal with such people.


    "Why did it scratch me?" Yun Suhaila sat there, her beautiful eyes full of tears as she stared at Red, looking very aggrieved.


    "It''s afraid of strangers." Blaze Regret smiled helplessly. It seemed that, besides him, Red didn''t let anyone else touch it. The scratch on Yun Suhaila''s hand was entirely accidental.


    "By the way, where are you planning to go for training this time?" Muk Karthik put down his wine glass and asked softly.


    "Hiltan Town," Blaze Regret replied without hiding anything. After all, there was no point in keeping such a thing secret.


    "That''s a coincidence; we''re also going to Hiltan Town. Why don''t you come with us?" Muk Karthik''s eyes lit up with excitement.


    "Yes, to get to Hiltan Town, we first have to cross a forest filled with dangers. Coming with us, we can look out for each other," Yun Anuar laughed heartily, extending the invitation as a way to apologize for Xen Kai''s earlier behavior.


    "Why bring him along? A greenhouse sprout like him is just here to warm people up," Xen Kai muttered.


    "I can take care of myself," Blaze Regret said calmly.

    "Then it''s settled," Muk Karthik said, full of joy. He had a favorable impression of this approachable young master of the Blaze family. Unlike other family scions who wouldn''t even look at members of a spirit hunting group, Blaze Regret was different.


    "No, I object," Yun Suhaila frowned slightly as she glanced at Blaze Regret, then looked at Yun Anuar. "Father, why bring him along? You know how dangerous the forest is. Having a burden with us will only cause more trouble."


    "You can''t say that. The more people, the more strength we have. Besides, Blaze Regret is Muk Karthik''s friend. We can''t let him cross the forest alone," Yun Anuar persuaded Yun Suhaila.


    "Take care of yourself and don''t hold us back!" Yun Suhaila, seeing that her opposition was futile, glared angrily at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. Although he wanted to show his true strength, it was always wise to keep some cards hidden when away from home. So, after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.


    "Let''s go after we finish eating," Yun Anuar said, placing a few gold coins on the table before standing up. He hoisted a large sack over his shoulder and called out to the others.


    Muk Karthik led Blaze Regret, quickly following.


    "Are we entering the forest now?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled. Wasn''t it said that the forest is most dangerous at night?


    "People are more dangerous than spirit beasts," Muk Karthik said, seemingly understanding Blaze Regret''s thoughts. He gave Blaze Regret a meaningful look.


    After Yun Anuar left, the inn noticeably became less restrained, and many spirit warriors began shouting loudly, including some vulgar language.


    "Dead weight."


    As he passed by Xen Kai, his disdainful cold snort reached Blaze Regret''s ears.


    "Xen Kai, did you take the wrong medicine?"


    Muk Karthik, annoyed by Xen Kai''s behavior, finally couldn''t help but curse. Blaze Regret was his friend, and Xen Kai''s repeated attempts to trouble Blaze Regret in front of him were undoubtedly embarrassing.


    "Muk Karthik, don''t be fooled by certain people''s appearances. He''s just trying to use you to get through the forest. Once he''s done with you, tsk tsk..." Xen Kai sighed, as if he felt sorry for Muk Karthik. Then he quickened his pace and immediately walked over to Yun Suhaila, trying to strike up a conversation.


    But it was clear that Yun Suhaila wasn''t very interested. Her beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at the Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, showing a desire to come over and touch them. However, the pain on the back of her hand made her suppress this thought.


    "Blaze Regret, don''t blame Yun Suhaila. That little girl is just sharp tongued but soft hearted. The forest is indeed very dangerous," Muk Karthik sighed. "Our Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group has over fifty people, and half of them have fallen in that forest. Even our leader can''t guarantee that we can pass through safely every time."


    Blaze Regret nodded silently. He had experienced the dangers of the forest more than once. As for Yun Suhaila, he had never had any ill feelings towards her.


    Someone who can show such pure eyes can''t be truly malicious. She was just a bit spoiled in character. Besides, she didn''t show that spoiled nature to people she was familiar with. As for him, he was still just an outsider.

 Chapter 127: Chapter 127 Dominating Blade Mantis

    "The aura of a Black Cloud Leopard. Let''s camp here for the night."


    After walking for a while, Yun Anuar suddenly stopped and pointed to a spot beside a giant tree, smiling as he spoke.


    "Black Cloud Leopards, low Grade Imperial class spirit beasts, are considered quite powerful in this forest. They have a particular trait: they never rest in the same place twice. So, areas where their scent lingers are popular with many adventurers because spirit beasts below the Imperial Grade don''t dare come near." Seeing the puzzled look on Blaze Regret''s face, Muk Karthik immediately explained.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded and made a mental note. He knew that his knowledge of the wilderness was nowhere near as extensive as that of seasoned hunters like Muk Karthik. Members of the spirit hunting group, also known as spirit hunters, were born for this kind of work.


    "Hey, you there, go gather some dry branches," Xen Kai commanded, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face as he saw Blaze Regret idling.


    With a slight sigh, Blaze Regret found Xen Kai''s clownish behavior more amusing than annoying. If it had been anyone else, they would have taught Xen Kai a lesson and had him on the ground in no time.


    Scanning the area, Blaze Regret picked up some dry branches from the ground and piled them up. Even Red used its tiny claws to drag a branch over and tossed it onto the pile with great effort, looking rather comical.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the pitch dark forest, a campfire slowly crackled to life, emitting a bright glow. Red raised its little claws, absorbing the warmth radiating from the fire. Fire type spirit beasts have a natural affinity for flames.


    Watching as a few people gradually fell asleep, Blaze Regret sighed softly. He then quietly released the Ice Control Butterfly to keep watch from a tree. Laying a thin cloth on the ground, he cradled Red and slowly drifted into sleep.


    Tonight was the first time in his life that he used the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed.


    And this lifestyle would become the norm for the next two years.


    In an ancient forest, a group of people carefully made their way, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings. Above them, towering trees spread countless branches in all directions. Yellowed leaves trembled gently in the breeze before floating down leisurely, forming a thick layer on the ground.


    "Roar!"


    Suddenly, from the top of a giant tree, a sinister eyed Black Leopard pounced down. Its bloody maw opened wide, bringing with it a gust of foul wind as it aimed for Yun Suhaila''s throat.


    Sensing the speed of the Black Leopard, Yun Suhaila''s face turned pale, and she retreated repeatedly.


    At the front of the group, Yun Anuar''s eyes flashed slightly. A sharp gust of wind shot out from beside him, instantly tearing the Black Leopard''s body apart, spilling warm blood everywhere.


    It was a wind elemental spirit beast with wings, resembling a light blue bird. However, atop its head were a pair of scythe like blades that clashed with each other as its wings flapped, producing a constant clattering sound.


    The Wind Scythe Bird, a mid level warrior grade spirit beast, had its most lethal weapon in the wind scythes atop its head.

    "That scared me to death."


    Yun Suhaila, with a hint of fear in her beautiful eyes, exhaled and covered her lightly heaving chest with her jade hand.


    The Black Leopard, a type of spirit beast, could change the color of its body to blend with the trees it inhabited, making it unpredictable. Even seasoned spirit hunters could fall prey to it.


    "Be more careful."


    The Wind Scythe Bird returned to his side as Yun Anuar turned back to remind her before continuing forward.


    "Suhaila, are you okay?"


    Xen Kai quickly walked over, intending to extend a comforting hand to Yun Suhaila, but she subtly avoided him, making Xen Kai feel slightly embarrassed.


    "What are you looking at? If it weren''t for us, you would have died in this forest long ago."


    Xen Kai, feeling extremely annoyed, clearly took out his frustration on Blaze Regret, pulling a sour face at him as if he had been the one to bring Blaze Regret into the forest.


    "Muk Karthik, can I punch him?" Blaze Regret asked, looking helplessly at Xen Kai''s back.


    "No, don''t. He''s a third rank warrior Grade, a rank higher than me. Just bear with it, and pretend it''s a fly buzzing around," Muk Karthik quickly waved his hand, afraid that Blaze Regret might lose his cool and go after Xen Kai.


    Blaze Regret was speechless. If it weren''t for his favorable impression of Yun Anuar, he would have already rushed over to give Xen Kai a beating. Being targeted multiple times had made even someone with his patience feel a bit of anger.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s silence, Xen Kai thought he was scared and became even more smug.


    "Wait!"


    Yun Anuar, who was walking at the front, suddenly extended his hand to stop everyone. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Get ready, there''s something ahead, and it''s not just one."


    "Rustle!"


    As soon as Yun Anuar''s words fell, several black shadows, resembling mantises, suddenly darted out from the trees, their wings flapping as they surrounded the group. Their sharp double blades gleamed menacingly in the sunlight.


    "Dominating Blade Mantis?" Muk Karthik''s face instantly turned serious. A summoning array appeared, and a tree covered in sharp thorns materialized in the middle of the group.


    Muk Karthik''s spirit beast, known as the Thorn Tree, was covered in sharp spikes. Any spirit beast that collided with it would suffer greatly.


    "Violent Ape!"


    At Xen Kai''s low shout, a robust brown giant ape stomped heavily on the ground, sending a gust of wind that swept the fallen leaves away.


    Yun Suhaila''s spirit beast, like Yun Anuar''s, was a Wind Scythe Bird, though it was smaller due to being only a third grade.


    "Have we entered the Dominating Blade Mantis''s territory?"


    Thanks Goatman12 and Shad_Shivers for the gift

 Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Golden Armored Mantis

    Blaze Regret''s expression tightened. It was autumn, a season when all spirit beasts frantically hunt to prepare for the impending snow covered winter. Clearly, they had ventured into the feeding grounds of the Dominating Blade Mantis.


    "Swish!"


    One of the strongest Dominating Blade Mantis paused for a moment before suddenly charging forward, its right blade raised high as it slashed fiercely towards Yun Anuar, who seemed to be the strongest.


    "Sixth rank, very well!"


    Anger flashed in Yun Anuar''s eyes as he commanded his Wind Scythe Bird to meet the attack head on. The two spirit beasts clashed rapidly, exchanging blows.


    "Muk Karthik, you hold one off. Suhaila and I will handle the rest."


    Xen Kai naturally took command, as if he was used to such situations. However, he completely ignored Blaze Regret, leaving him isolated.


    "No problem."


    Yun Suhaila nodded slightly. Apart from the leading mantis, the others were only second or third rank, which they could barely manage with their combined strength.


    Watching the others quickly engage their opponents, Blaze Regret was happy to stay out of it, observing their spirit beasts with interest.


    "Blue Blade Slash!"


    With Yun Suhaila''s sharp cry, the twin scythes atop the Wind Scythe Bird''s head suddenly glowed blue. It then shot forward like a streak of blue lightning, slashing through a Dominating Blade Mantis.


    The mantis'' head flew off and fell to the ground with a metallic thud, having offered no resistance.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. These spirit hunters, like Yun Suhaila, had honed their skills through countless battles. The Wind Scythe Bird''s attack was swift and precise, hitting the vital point instantaneously.


    On the battlefield, the lower ranked Dominating Blade Mantises fell one by one, while the battle on Yun Anuar''s side remained evenly matched.


    The Dominating Blade Mantis, being of the metal attribute, had a defense that could rival rock type spirit beasts. Although Yun Anuar was confident he could kill it, it would take considerable time.


    "Kid, see the difference between you and me?"


    Xen Kai proudly smiled as his Violent Ape pounded another Dominating Blade Mantis into a pulp. He was trying his hardest to impress Yun Suhaila, while Blaze Regret was undoubtedly someone he looked down upon.


    "Recklessly expending your spirit energy like that, you indeed have a significant gap compared to Yun Suhaila," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile.


    Though the Violent Ape''s method of killing was brute and visually impactful, it consumed an enormous amount of spirit energy, unlike the Wind Scythe Bird''s swift, lethal strikes.


    "Heh, the weak can only make bold claims," Xen Kai scoffed, dismissing Blaze Regret''s words.


    "Crash!"


    As the number of Dominating Blade Mantises rapidly decreased, there was a sudden rustling in the forest. A mantis with a golden shell emerged, slashing at the Violent Ape.


    "Roar!"


    With a roar, the Violent Ape clenched its fist, hardening it with rock, and threw a punch, colliding with the golden mantis''s claw. Experience magic on m-vl-e-mpyr


    As claw met rock fist, a mocking gleam flashed in the golden mantis''s compound eyes. With a swift flash, Xen Kai''s Violent Ape was sent reeling back, crashing heavily into a tree trunk, blood streaming from its fist.


    "A fourth rank Golden Armored Mantis?"


    Yun Anuar, catching sight of this scene, couldn''t help but gasp in shock.


    The Golden Armored Mantis is a rare species among the Dominator Mantis tribe, with only one emerging out of every thousand. Additionally, the initial rank of the Dominator Mantis is of mid warrior grade, whereas the Golden Armored Mantis is of high level warrior, making it undoubtedly stronger at the same rank.


    With a single claw, it forced back the Violent Ape. The Golden Armored Mantis''s fierce gaze slowly swept over everyone and suddenly fixed on Xen Kai.


    With a screech, its body shot out, and its sharp claws, carrying a fierce energy, slashed down toward Xen Kai''s head.


    Seeing this, a look of anxiety appeared in Yun Anuar''s eyes. However, the sixth rank Dominator Mantis was tightly restraining his Wind Sickle Bird, preventing it from leaving the battle zone temporarily.


    "Blue Blade Light!"


    In her panic, Yun Suhaila hurriedly controlled the Wind Sickle Bird to block the Golden Armored Mantis''s attack. However, the Golden Armored Mantis didn''t even blink as it pass the Wind Sickle Bird away.


    The blade like claws of the Golden Armored Mantis rapidly enlarged in Xen Kai''s pupils, and a look of terror appeared on his face. Reflexively, he pulled Yun Suhaila in front of him as a shield.


    Used as a human shield by Xen Kai, Yun Suhaila was clearly stunned. Before she could process what was happening, she saw the Golden Armored Mantis''s gleaming claws descending rapidly toward her face.


    "No!"


    Yun Anuar roared in anger, waving his hand to send a wind blade shooting out. It landed on the Golden Armored Mantis''s shell but dissipated instantly.


    It was evident that although Yun Anuar had offensive spirit arts, he was not proficient in them. They were effective against low level warrior spirit beasts but barely caused any damage to the Golden Armored Mantis.


    Yun Suhaila closed her eyes, feeling the strong wind approaching, and a sense of despair flooded her heart.


    "Ugh!" Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as the razor sharp claws of the Golden Armored Mantis were about to strike, a burst of Blue flamed fire suddenly surged forward. Three whirling clusters of Blue flames collided with the body of the Golden Armored Mantis, sending it flying.


    As the gust of wind swept past, a lock of hair gently floated down. Yun Suhaila opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that the terrifying figure of the Golden Armored Mantis had vanished.


    When she turned her head, the sight before her made her gasp in astonishment.


    She saw the body of the Golden Armor Mantis tightly pinned against the trunk of a giant tree, covered in numerous wounds. In front of it, a fire Cat with Blue eyes had its sharp claws piercing through the mantis, nailing it to the tree.


    Witnessing this scene, not only Yun Suhaila but even Yun Anuar in the distance was utterly stunned.

 Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Blue Jade Cat Spirit 1

    The Golden Armor Mantis, which had been so fierce just moments ago, was now like a lifeless fish, unable to move. The disparity was truly shocking.


    "Fortunately, I made it in time."


    Under Xen Kai''s incredulous gaze, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face.


    From the moment the Golden Armored Mantis appeared, he had been prepared. Thankfully, he managed to save Yun Suhaila at the last moment. However, what he hadn''t expected was that Xen Kai would push a girl out as a shield in a life or death situation, an act he found utterly disgraceful.


    "So, this guy had been hiding his strength all along." Muk Karthik shook his head with a bitter smile. It turned out he had misjudged from the beginning. Who could have imagined that the small spirit warrior from the Atlas Shop would have advanced so quickly?


    After a while, Yun Suhaila snapped back to reality, a trace of bitterness appearing on her delicate face. She hadn''t expected that the one who would save her in the end would be the very boy she had always mocked and ridiculed.


    "Brother Blaze Regret, thank you very much this time."


    Having swiftly dealt with the sixth rank Dominator Mantis, Yun Anuar walked over with large strides and gratefully clasped his hands towards Blaze Regret. If it weren''t for this young man, his daughter would have been lost to him forever.


    "It was nothing, really," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    Looking at Blaze Regret''s warm smile, Yun Suhaila felt momentarily lost. To him, saving her life must have indeed been a trivial matter.


    Thinking of this, Yun Suhaila couldn''t help but feel a twinge of bitterness in her heart.


    "Xen Kai, are you even a man? Using a girl as a shield?" Muk Karthik strode over, angrily glaring at Xen Kai, the veins in his neck bulging.


    "I..."


    Xen Kai was at a loss for words. Seeing the look of disappointment in Yun Suhaila''s eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. At the same time, a deep resentment towards Blaze Regret arose within him, a cold killing intent quietly spreading in his eyes.


    "If you could kill the Golden Armored Mantis, why didn''t you act sooner?" Xen Kai asked angrily, looking at Blaze Regret.


    "Hey, get your facts straight. My Blue Flame Demon Cat is only at the fourth rank. It barely reached the fifth rank after using Flame Breath. Do you think that doesn''t take time to prepare? Moreover, the Golden Armored Mantis was attacking you first. Do I have an obligation to save you?" Blaze Regret retorted with a cold smile.


    Under Blaze Regret''s barrage of questions, Xen Kai''s face turned pale, his eyes bloodshot, but he couldn''t find any reason to argue back.


    "Crack!"


    In front of the giant tree, the Blue Flame Demon Cat quickly withdrew its claws, blood splattering. The Golden Armored Mantis twitched a few times on the ground before its life completely faded away.


    Even though the Red was only at the fourth rank, after using Flame Breath and with claws strengthened by the Blazing Blade Flower, it was enough to tear through the body of a sixth rank spirit beast. Not to mention, the Golden Armored Mantis''s carapace had already been bombarded by the Blue Flame Demon Cat''s fire.


    After extracting the spirit core of the Golden Armored Mantis, the Blue Flame Demon Cat entered a state of Cat illusion and trotted back to Blaze Regret''s side.


    "Alright, let''s go."


    Yun Anuar cast a glance at Xen Kai, suppressing the urge to kill him with a single slap. He then turned around and left the area without looking back.


    Muk Karthik snorted coldly, ignoring Xen Kai. As they walked, he began to speak excitedly, "I never expected you to improve so quickly. The first time we met, you were just a low rank spirit novice. I never thought that now, you would surpass me."


    Blaze Regret smiled and discreetly placed the spirit core of the Golden Armored Mantis into the Void realms Stone. This was his first encounter with a metal attribute spirit beast, and he wondered what other attribute spirit beasts he might discover in the future.

    The group slowly made their way through the forest. After the recent events, the atmosphere became unusually heavy. Except for the excited Muk Karthik and Blaze Regret, who occasionally responded with a few words, no one else was willing to speak.


    Yun Suhaila carefully sprinkled powder from a packet onto the wound of the Wind Scythe Bird, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Blaze Regret. Noticing that he never looked her way, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.


    This was the first time she had been so completely ignored.


    Sighing softly, Yun Suhaila regretted her earlier actions against Blaze Regret. If it weren''t for that, she wouldn''t be in a situation where she couldn''t say a word to him now.


    What she didn''t know was that Blaze Regret simply didn''t feel like talking, and as for holding grudges, he couldn''t be bothered.


    "Walk straight for two hundred meter, then turn left. There seems to be something interesting there."


    As Blaze Regret was casually chatting with Muk Karthik, the light laughter of Master Magi suddenly rang in his ear.


    A gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He nodded slightly, about to come up with an excuse to turn the group to the left when Yun Anuar, at the front, suddenly stopped.


    "Shh!"


    Yun Anuar turned to the group and made a gesture, then cautiously took a few steps forward. He parted the branches of a low bush, revealing a scene that instantly silenced everyone. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the midst of the surrounded trees, countless Overlord Mantis were scurrying about. Piles of blood soaked spirit beast corpses lay on the ground, resembling a small mountain.


    The blood had stained the surrounding ground red.


    Gently lowering the branch, Yun Anuar pointed to the left and quietly began to move in that direction.

    "Thank goodness we didn''t walk into that, or we wouldn''t even have had a chance to resist before being hacked into pieces," Muk Karthik said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear after they had moved far away.


    "We haven''t taken this path for a long time," Yun Suhaila softly explained upon seeing Blaze Regret''s puzzled expression.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded slightly, feeling a bit apprehensive. Compared to this place, the Black Forest was a walk in the park. One wrong move here, and they might not even know how they met their end.


    "Swish!"


    Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed not far away and then dimmed again.


    "It''s in the direction Master Magi mentioned," Blaze Regret squinted his eyes slightly.


    "It seems to be a fire attributed spirit beast," Muk Karthik whispered.


    "Uncle Yun Anuar, let''s go take a look," Blaze Regret suggested as he walked over to Yun Anuar.


    "You''re so curious, what if there''s danger? Can you take responsibility?" Xen Kai objected without a second thought. As long as it was something Blaze Regret wanted to do, he wouldn''t let him have his way.


    "I want to go take a look too."


    Almost instinctively, Yun Suhaila blushed after saying this, feeling annoyed with herself. An experienced spirit hunter would never act recklessly. Why had she made such a serious mistake just now? Read today on m,v,l,e,mpyr


    Yun Anuar glanced at Yun Suhaila with a meaningful look, causing her to quickly lower her head.


    "Let''s go take a look. We might find something useful," Yun Anuar said with a smile.


    "But..."


    Xen Kai opened his mouth to speak, but seeing the others already walking away, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. It was all because of Blaze Regret. If it weren''t for him, he wouldn''t be in this miserable situation!


    "It''s a Scarlet Flame Tiger."


    Yun Anuar peered through the gaps in the branches and saw the red figure, whispering to himself. Then, with a hint of excitement in his voice, he said, "There''s a nest of Blue Jade Cat Spirits over there!"


    They saw a robust Scarlet Flame Tiger carrying a Blue cat like spirit beast in its mouth. Behind the Scarlet Flame Tiger, three small Blue beasts, similar in appearance to the one in its mouth, huddled together, trembling.


    The Blue Jade Cat Spirit, with an earth attribute, was born at a high level warrior rank. Its signature spirit skill, Blue Jade Meteor, could unleash a barrage of Blue light to bombard enemies, packing a significant punch.


    However, this kind of spirit beast was extremely proud. Once they reached a certain level of maturity, they would rather die than form a contract with a spirit master, causing their young to be sold at exorbitant prices.


    "A sixth tier Scarlet Flame Tiger is no stronger than an Overlord Mantis. Leave it to me."


    Yun Anuar chuckled as his Wind Scythe Bird shot forward, transforming into a blue streak that intertwined with the Scarlet Flame Tiger.


    In no time, the Scarlet Flame Tiger fell to the ground, covered in tiny wounds. The Wind Scythe Bird''s twin scythes had sliced it at least a hundred times in an instant.


    The group approached the trembling little beasts, each of which had a beautiful, crystalline Blue gemstone embedded in its forehead.


    "How should we split them?" Yun Suhaila asked, blinking her long eyelashes in confusion.


    "That''s not for me to decide. It was all thanks to Blaze Regret that we discovered this nest of Blue Jade Cat Spirits," Yun Anuar said with a hearty laugh, waving his hand dismissively.


    "Let''s do it like this: one for Yun Suhaila, one for Muk Karthik, and the rest for me. Uncle Yun Anuar, I''m sorry to put you at a disadvantage," Blaze Regret said softly after a brief pause.


    Hearing this, Yun Anuar smiled nonchalantly. Giving one to Yun Suhaila was the same as giving it to him, so it made no difference to him.


    "I get one too?" Muk Karthik looked at Blaze Regret in surprise. Among the group, he was the weakest, and he hadn''t expected Blaze Regret to consider him.


    "Of course, even if I didn''t want one, you''d still get one," Blaze Regret replied with a teasing scold. Then, he carefully picked up a Blue Jade Cat Spirit and placed it in Muk Karthik''s hands.


    Muk Karthik bit his lip, momentarily speechless. Selling the Blue Jade Cat Spirit would provide him with a significant amount of cultivation resources, making it likely for him to break through to the third tier spirit warrior stage soon. Blaze Regret''s seemingly casual act had deeply moved him.


    "What about me?" Xen Kai asked, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at the Blue Jade Cat Spirits. But realizing he wouldn''t get one, his tone became indignant.


    "Does this have anything to do with you?" Blaze Regret glanced at Xen Kai in confusion before looking away, clearly not interested in engaging with him.


    Xen Kai''s face turned livid, his teeth grinding audibly.


    "Blaze Regret, you don''t have an extra Spirit Realm Stone, do you?"


    Seeing Blaze Regret wrap the Blue Jade Cat Spirit in his clothes, Yun Suhaila quickly took a diamond shaped stone, similar to an Void Realm Stone, from inside her clothes and handed it to Blaze Regret.


    Accepting the still warm Spirit Realm Stone, Blaze Regret smiled. "Then I won''t be polite."


    In the ancient city of Veloria, although there are places that sell Spirit Realm Stones, they are quite rare. This is because most spirit masters seldom venture out, leaving them with little opportunity to encounter precious spirit beasts. That why Blaze Regret did not have enought spirit realms stone now.


    Moreover, Spirit Realm Stones are expensive. Typically, when members of the Blaze family capture spirit beasts, they use a specially treated, extremely tough rope.


    Blaze Regret slightly raised the Spirit Realm Stone, aimed it at the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, and infused a bit of spiritual power into it. Instantly, a Blue light emanated from the Spirit Realm Stone, enveloping the Blue Jade Cat Spirit and absorbing it directly.

 Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Hiltan Serpents 1 (Bonus)

    Although void Realm Stones can also store items, they can only store non living things like herbs. As for Master Magi, he was an exception. With the Spirit Realm Stone, Blaze Regret no longer had to worry about missing out on valuable spirit beasts in the future.


    "A favor for a favor."


    Blaze Regret knew that for Yun Suhaila, a Spirit Realm Stone was undoubtedly very expensive. Therefore, he patted his waist, and one of his void Realm Stones flew in front of Yun Suhaila.


    This void Realm Stone was obtained when Blaze Regret killed Snow Azrul that day, and it had been unused since.


    "This..."


    Yun Suhaila hesitated. An void Realm Stone costs about twenty thousand gold coins, whereas a Spirit Realm Stone only costs ten thousand gold coins.


    When she looked up, Blaze Regret had already left, with only his silhouette moving slightly in the distance.


    With a helpless smile, Yun Suhaila extended her jade hand and gently grasped the void Realm Stone. Meanwhile, not far away, Xen Kai''s eyes were filled with murderous intent.


    After another night of camping out, the group quietly resumed their trek through the forest. Everyone had their spirit beasts released, ready to face any imminent danger.


    "We should be nearing Hiltan Town," Blaze Regret said softly, wiping sweat off his face.


    "Half a day more," Muk Karthik replied, scanning the trees around them. He spotted a faint mark and grinned.


    As a seasoned spirit hunter who had roamed the forest for years, Muk Karthik had his ways of discerning the path. Every time he saw those faint marks on the tree trunks, he would walk over and re carve them, preparing for future entries.


    After yesterday''s events, Yun Suhaila and Blaze Regret''s relationship had noticeably improved. From time to time, they would chat a bit, and whenever this happened, Muk Karthik would tactfully shut his talkative mouth.


    Watching the two of them engage in lively conversation, Xen Kai, at the back, had eyes filled with intense murderous intent, wishing he could tear Blaze Regret apart.


    However, thinking about the gap in strength between him and Blaze Regret, Xen Kai suppressed his thoughts. His face, though, remained gloomy, deep in thought.


    As they neared the forest''s edge, the frequency of spirit beast attacks decreased. After several hours of walking, there were only three waves of spirit beast attacks, which were effortlessly repelled.


    "Blaze Regret, what do you plan to do in Hiltan Town?" Yun Suhaila asked curiously, her beautiful eyes fixed on Blaze Regret. Find hidden gems at m-vl-em-pyr


    "Looking for something," Blaze Regret replied, gently brushing off the leaves stuck to the Red Beast''s fur with a smile.


    "Why not join the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group? We have some influence in Hiltan Town and might be able to help," Yun Suhaila said with a hint of anticipation in her voice.


    "No, thanks. I prefer being on my own," Blaze Regret apologized with a smile. He wasn''t very comfortable in crowded places, and his purpose for coming out was to train. Joining a spirit hunting group would be a hindrance.


    Hearing this, Yun Suhaila sighed softly in disappointment, her jade like fingers restlessly playing with the feathers of her Wind Scythe Bird.


    "Roar!" S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At that moment, a blood stained Red Flame Tiger suddenly dashed out of the forest. After glancing at the group, it quickly fled.


    "This isn''t good, that beast!" Yun Anuar''s face changed dramatically. From where the Red Flame Tiger had emerged, several pitch black serpents swiftly slithered out. Upon spotting the group, they immediately abandoned their pursuit of the tiger, their emotionless snake eyes fixed on the people.


    "Hiltan Serpents!" Yun Suhaila''s voice trembled with slight terror.


    Blaze Regret''s expression also grew serious. These Hiltan Serpents were all mid tier fifth rank spirit warrior beasts. This meant that aside from him and Yun Anuar, the others lacked the strength to contend with them.


    "Hiss!"


    More Hiltan Serpents dropped from the branches, revealing parts of their bodies. Their foul smelling mucus left marks on the leaves.


    Seeing so many Hiltan Serpents, everyone''s faces turned grim. The few on the ground were already difficult enough to deal with, and now more were appearing. Who knew how many more were hidden in the shadows?


    "Blaze Regret, protect them," Yun Anuar instructed, looking at Blaze Regret. Fifth rank spirit beasts weren''t too troublesome to handle, but if the Hiltan Serpents attacked Yun Suhaila and the others, it would be a real headache.


    "Leave it to me," Blaze Regret nodded, stepping back a few paces with the others to clear the battlefield.


    The Red let out a low growl, Blue flames igniting on its claws, casting a scorching aura through the forest.


    After a brief silence, the Hiltan Serpents shot out like arrows, entangling with the swooping Wind Scythe Bird.


    The Wind Scythe Bird, a seventh rank spirit beast, lived up to its reputation. Every time a blue light flashed, a Hiltan Serpent was sliced in half. The sharp double scythes on its head clicked and shimmered with a faint blue glow.


    As one Hiltan Serpent fell, another immediately took its place. The Hiltan Serpents hidden in the shadows seemed endless, continuously surging forward.


    "Don''t they know fear?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly.


    "Forget it. Hiltan Serpents are spirit beasts that never know the meaning of fear unless you kill them all," Muk Karthik said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.


    "Slash!"


    The Red slashed down with its claws, sending a red arc of light that cut a Hiltan Serpent in half, sweeping its severed body far away. Clearly, the beast was displeased with these creatures that continued to writhe even when cut in two.


    Noticing that the defense on this side was weaker, many Hiltan Serpents began to change direction and surged toward the group. The sound of their slithering sent chills down the spine.


    "Whoosh!"


    A lightning fast black shadow shot down from the treetop, aiming directly at Yun Suhaila. The Red quickly leaped up, pinning the Hiltan Serpent to the ground. However, without the Red''s suppression, the serpents that had been kept at bay by the flames started to crawl rapidly toward them again.

 Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Hiltan Serpents 2

    Seeing the approaching Hiltan Serpents, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Xen Kai''s face. Taking advantage of Blaze Regret turning his back, Xen Kai pushed him forcefully, causing Blaze Regret to lose his balance and fall into the swarm of serpents.


    Excited by the suddenly available prey, the Hiltan Serpents opened their foul smelling mouths and surged forward in a writhing mass.


    "Blaze Regret!" Yun Suhaila screamed in horror, her face turning pale.


    "Die!" Xen Kai''s face lit up with exhilaration as he silently retreated, ensuring that even if the Hiltan Serpents came closer, they wouldn''t attack him.


    The Red became agitated, tearing a Hiltan Serpent apart along its mouth and then slashing continuously with its claws, sending the serpents'' body parts Wind. However, Blaze Regret was already completely engulfed by the dark mass of serpents.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Red let out a mournful cry, frantically smashing the Hiltan Serpents in front of it, while Xen Kai''s laughter echoed in the background.


    "Why did you do that!" Yun Suhaila glared at Xen Kai, her tightly clenched jade like hands trembling.


    "Why? Heh, because that kid deserves to die. Before he came, when did you ever shout at me? If you want to blame someone, blame that kid for being too arrogant, for daring to ignore me," Xen Kai replied with a sinister smile.


    "Because you don''t deserve to be acknowledged by him," Yun Suhaila''s eyes welled up with mist. In just a few days, she had seen through Xen Kai''s true nature. Compared to Blaze Regret, Xen Kai was the epitome of scum.


    "Say what you want, but he''s already dead," Xen Kai said carelessly, with a smile.


    "Wind Scythe Bird, charge in!"


    Yun Suhaila turned her head, a pale green light spreading from her palm. Even though she knew it might be futile, she couldn''t live with herself if she didn''t try. She would be plagued by regret and guilt for the rest of her life.


    "Crack!"


    Just as the Wind Scythe Bird was about to dive down, a layer of ice blue frost suddenly spread out from the midst of the serpents. In an instant, the writhing Hiltan Serpents were rapidly transformed into lifelike ice sculptures.


    As the temperature in the area plummeted, Yun Suhaila stood there, momentarily stunned.


    The biting cold ice quickly spread, encasing all the black scaled serpents it touched in an instant, even those in front of Yun Anuar were completely enveloped, maintaining their previous postures.


    The Wing scythe bird returned to his side, and Yun Anuar was utterly shocked, unable to comprehend what had just happened. Exclusive content from m,v lem|p,yr


    "Crack!"


    In the area with the highest concentration of black scaled serpents, a figure with a slightly bent back suddenly and slowly stood up, then straightened his body. Around him, it was as if a dazzling ice lotus had bloomed.


    "Blaze Regret?" Yun Suhaila asked tentatively because the ice cover made it difficult for her to see the person''s appearance clearly.


    "Crash!"


    The ice lotus shattered, and Blaze Regret took a deep breath of the rare air, his face flushed.


    Just as he was about to be swallowed by the black scaled serpents, the ice energy stored in his second spiritual portal suddenly surged uncontrollably, rapidly spreading around, leading to the scene just now.


    "Unexpectedly, it was the creation of the Ice Lotus sage master that saved my life."


    Blaze Regret turned his head, his cold gaze falling on the shocked Xen Kai, and he said softly, "It was you who pushed me just now, wasn''t it?"


    Xen Kai''s Adam''s apple bobbed, and he retreated repeatedly, his face full of terror, wanting to escape from this place.


    "Crack!"


    All the ice in the field suddenly shattered, and those black scaled serpents, recovering from their frozen state, looked at each other in confusion before collectively moving away from Blaze Regret''s position, their eyes filled with deep fear.


    The next moment, they bypassed Yun Suhaila and the others and quickly surged towards Xen Kai''s direction.


    "Why are you only chasing me and not eating them!" S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Xen Kai screamed in terror, but his cries were quickly drowned out. The black scaled serpents frantically tore at his body, ripping off chunks of flesh.


    With his mouth sealed by the serpents'' bodies, Xen Kai convulsed in agony but couldn''t make a sound.


    "Let''s go."


    Retracting his gaze, Blaze Regret gently placed the red on his shoulder and walked forward indifferently, with faint ice particles still lingering on his eyebrows.


    Yun Anuar opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he couldn''t utter a single word. He realized that at this moment, he felt a slight fear of this young man.


    "How does it feel to be close to death?" The cheerful voice of Master Magi reached Blaze Regret''s ears.


    "Not great." Blaze Regret glanced irritably at the void realms stone. Even though he knew he wouldn''t die no matter what, he never wanted to experience the feeling of near death again.


    "Hehe, this is your first lesson in this unfamiliar town. An excellent spirit master should remain calm even in the face of a landslide. You''ll understand how important this is in the future." Master Magi laughed heartily.


    Half an hour later, the trees in the forest gradually thinned out, allowing some light to penetrate through the canopy.


    "Hiltan Town is just ahead."


    Seeing the long awaited light, Yun Suhaila Yi felt the shadow of Xen Kai''s death lift significantly from her heart, and a relieved smile appeared on her pretty face.


    "We part ways here," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile as he glanced at the group.


    "Are you really not coming with us?" Yun Suhaila Yi''s voice was as soft as a mosquito''s buzz, knowing that regardless of how many times she asked, the answer would remain the same.


    Seeing Blaze Regret shake his head, Yun Anuar felt a tinge of regret. The scene of the ice sealing the serpents had left a deep impression on him. If Blaze Regret were to join, the strength of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group would undoubtedly increase significantly.

 Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Ice Lake Stone Flower

    After parting ways with the group, Blaze Regret aimlessly wandered around Hiltan Town. Not far away, there were a few sparse buildings, with most of the crowd gathered there. Rough, loud shouts echoed throughout the small town.


    Only a few people noticed Blaze Regret''s arrival. In this place, a Fourth tier spirit warrior was considered middle tier, so no one cast the same disdainful glances at him as they had in the inn.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret scanned the buildings and finally identified a shop by the dried medicinal herbs hanging outside.


    Dusting off his robe, Blaze Regret pursed his lips and stepped into the shop.


    After several days of travel, the food in his void realms stone had been exhausted, so replenishing this essential supply was a priority. Of course, if he found anything else of interest, he wouldn''t mind buying it.


    Compared to the noisy outside, the interior of the shop was noticeably quieter. Several glass jars were suspended in the corners of the shop, each containing a glowing insect that flew around slowly.


    "Ahem, excuse me, what''s inside those jars?" Blaze Regret asked a shop assistant curiously.


    "Night wing Fire," the assistant replied indifferently, noticing Blaze Regret''s young age and dusty robe, showing little interest in engaging further.


    "I''ll take four," Blaze Regret said with a smile, unfazed by the assistant''s attitude.


    "Sixty gold coins."


    The assistant bent down and retrieved a glass jar from a transparent counter. His tone became slightly more courteous, "These Night wing Fire are extremely delicate spirit beasts that can only survive by absorbing the energy of light attribute spirit cores. Would you like to purchase a light attribute spirit core?"


    "How much?" Blaze Regret suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.


    "A thousand," the assistant said, eyeing Blaze Regret greedily.


    "That much? Is it a lord level core? Why is it so expensive?" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes. In the past, a spirit core would cost him at most a few dozen gold coins, never this exorbitant amount.


    "Little brother, you should understand the rarity of light attribute spirit beasts. In the entire forest surrounding Hiltan Town, you might not find a single one. The high price is justified," the shop assistant explained with a smile.


    Blaze Regret reluctantly handed over his gold coin card, and the assistant quickly swiped it, as if afraid Blaze Regret would change his mind.


    "Oh, and I''ll need five spirit stones as well," Blaze Regret said, stopping the assistant as he was about to return the card.


    "What... did you just say?" The assistant''s hand froze in mid air, his face showing a stunned expression.


    Five spirit stones meant fifty thousand gold coins. The shop''s transactions over several days wouldn''t even come close to this amount, and yet this young man in front of him could afford such a hefty price?


    "Five spirit stones," Blaze Regret repeated.


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s confirmation, the assistant''s attitude shifted dramatically, and he smiled ingratiatingly. "Spirit stones are extremely precious and are stored in a special place. Please wait a moment."


    Blaze Regret nodded slightly and began to glance around the counter. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on an object in the corner that looked like a stone.


    "Ice Lake Stone Flower?"


    Blaze Regret was slightly surprised. Possessing the Emperor of Medicine Seed, he was extremely sensitive to spiritual objects and herbs. The moment he saw this thing, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.


    The Ice Lake Stone Flower is an ice attribute spiritual object. It can make the body of an ice attribute spirit beast extraordinarily hard, like a rock. Hence, it has this beautiful name.


    Among all the attributes, the hardness of an ice attribute spirit beast''s body is only moderate, while the rock attribute is at the top. Without a doubt, one can imagine how precious this spiritual object is.


    "How much is this?"


    Seeing the shop attendant return, Blaze Regret, now more experienced, acted much more casually this time, as if he had randomly pointed to an item.


    "Oh, this thing? I picked it up outside. It looked nice, so I brought it back. If you want it, I''ll give it to you for free." The shop attendant casually took out the Ice Lake Stone Flower and handed it to Blaze Regret.


    Suppressing his inner joy, Blaze Regret casually placed the Ice Lake Stone Flower into the void realms stone, then took the spirit realms stone and gold coin card, and walked out of the shop.


    By now, it was late, with only a sliver of sunset remaining on the horizon. Further away, stars were already faintly visible.


    Finding an inn, Blaze Regret, who had been lying in the cold forest for days, comfortably sprawled on the bed. Beside him, Red also comfortably smacked its lips, its two small ears gently swaying.

    After ensuring that the doors and windows were completely closed, Blaze Regret took out the Ice Lake Stone Flower, stroking its beautiful patterns, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

    "Ding!"


    With a crisp sound, the Ice Control Irenix slowly flew out from the second spiritual Portal, maintaining an upright posture like a human. Its ice wings gently flapped, bringing a small breeze.


    Upon seeing the Ice Lake Stone Flower in Blaze Regret''s hand, a trace of emotion finally appeared in the Ice Control Irenix''s otherwise vacant eyes. It slowly approached Blaze Regret, staring intently at the flower in his hand, its face full of anticipation.


    "Here you go." Blaze Regret, both amused and helpless, stuffed the Ice Lake Stone Flower into the Ice Control Irenix''s mouth. He was already accustomed to its dazed look, as long as it didn''t go offline during battles.


    With a pleasant hum, a clear blue light swept down from the top of the Ice Control Irenix''s head. When it disappeared, another blue light immediately condensed and swept down again.


    "Is it transforming its body?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. The Ice Control Irenix''s attack and speed were both formidable. If its defense could also keep up, as long as it didn''t encounter an elemental counter, it could even stand a chance against a seventh rank high level spirit warrior beast.

 Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Black Flame Mud

    The Blue ice power is not to be underestimated.


    Blaze Regret fell asleep holding Red, while the Ice Control Irenix stood by the window, staring blankly at the moon in the sky. The sweeping blue light cast the same scene onto the room''s walls.


    The next day, when Blaze Regret woke up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes. As his eyelids lifted, he suddenly froze.


    "Where''s the Ice Control Irenix?"


    His eyes scanned the room swiftly, and Blaze Regret finally found an ice cocoon under the bed, faint blue light flickering on it.


    "How did it become like this?"


    Holding the ice cocoon formed by the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret felt a faint heartbeat inside and was left speechless.


    Could it be that the Ice Control Irenix didn''t grow; instead, it regressed?


    "Hehe, it''s quite normal. The spiritual power contained in the Ice Lake Stone Flower is too vast for the Ice Control Irenix to digest. It can only turn into a cocoon and slowly absorb it. When it wakes up, it might bring you a surprise," Master Magi said with a faint smile.


    The second spiritual portal opened, and the ice cocoon automatically entered. Blaze Regret felt a slight sense of urgency.


    With Red''s current strength, even with Flame Breath, it could at most fight a sixth rank spirit beast. Finding the missing page of Master Magi''s book might not be that easy. To safely navigate Hiltan Town with this level of strength was clearly not enough.


    After washing his face, Blaze Regret and Red ate a simple meal and then left the inn. The warm sunlight outside was slightly dazzling.


    "Master Magi, can you sense your missing page?" Blaze Regret asked.


    "There''s an issue. It seems some kind of boundary is isolating my connection with it," Master Magi pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.


    As Blaze Regret was walking, his steps suddenly halted. Are you kidding me? If you can''t sense it, how long will it take to find it in such a large place like Hiltan Town, not to mention the surrounding mountains and forests?


    "What should we do then?" Blaze Regret spread his hands helplessly.


    "Wait."


    Master Magi''s eyes narrowed slightly. "Earlier, I only sensed a faint aura, but that place is extremely dangerous. If you go there before advancing to a Spirit Imperial, it would be a death sentence."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret sighed. Strength, it all comes down to strength. He was still too weak. Discover more magic on m-vl-em-pyr sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So, in Hiltan Town, you''d better break through to a Spirit Imperial first. Otherwise, even if the page appears, you won''t have the strength to compete for it," Master Magi said slowly.


    "Alright, I''ll do as you say!" Blaze Regret smiled.


    Since he planned to live in Hiltan Town for some time, he naturally needed to understand the distribution of power here.


    After spending a hundred gold coins, Blaze Regret finally understood that the most powerful organization in Hiltan Town was the Sun Moon Spirit Hunting Group. Their leader was said to be a formidable Spirit Imperial, and there were many other strong individuals as well.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. While Spirit Imperials were not uncommon in Veloria City, in Hiltan Town, they definitely had the qualifications to dominate. Even if he encountered one, avoiding them would be the best choice.


    "Your Flame Cat is currently a Fourth rank high level warrior grade. The Azure Spirit Elixir, which directly enhances strength, is completely unsuitable at this stage. Steady progress is what a warrior should focus on the most."


    Master Magi spoke slowly, "I have a prescription here. The reason I call it a prescription is that what it produces is a paste like substance, not a pill. Applying it to a fire attribute spirit beast can stimulate its potential, greatly accelerating its spiritual power circulation. Although it doesn''t directly increase strength, it can significantly shorten the time needed for advancement."


    Taking the prescription, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but grimace. The name "Black Flame Mud" didn''t sound appealing at all.


    "Don''t underestimate it. As long as you have enough of it, I guarantee that your Flame Cat can grow in the most perfect way," Master Magi smiled.


    "Time to earn some money again."


    Seeing the materials listed, Blaze Regret let out an inward groan. Being away from home, money is the most important thing.


    However, in this unfamiliar town, he had no intention of revealing his identity as an alchemist. If it attracted the attention of ill intentioned individuals, the ensuing trouble would be endless.


    With his eyes slightly downcast, Blaze Regret picked up the spirit realms stone containing the Purple Jade Cat Spirit. A grin suddenly spread across his face. Who would have thought that one day he would find himself setting up a street stall like a vendor?


    Under the shade of a tree, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed. In front of him was a long piece of black cloth spread out, displaying various items. Among them were three Qi Return Pills, a dozen bottles of Azure Spirit Liquid, and a heap of miscellaneous herbs.


    The most eye catching item was a curled up Blue Jade Cat Spirit, with a diamond shaped gem embedded in its forehead.


    Many spirit hunters showed a glint of interest in their eyes upon seeing this strange little beast. However, after Blaze Regret stated the price of 150,000 gold coins, they all awkwardly withdrew their fervent gazes. Such a large sum of money was beyond the reach of many spirit masters, let alone these spirit hunters who lived on the edge.


    Although they couldn''t afford the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, the other items on Blaze Regret''s stall were quite popular. Herbs and healing pills were lifesaving tools for those who roamed the forests and mountains. It didn''t take long for the three Qi Return Pills and all the healing herbs to be sold out.


    Althought Blaze Regret caught three Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts, he did not intent to sell it here. He did not want attract unwanted attention to him if he sell so many high level spirit beast.

 Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Fight Mad Bull 1

    Looking at the remaining Azure Spirit Liquid and Blue Jade Cat Spirit on the stall, Blaze Regret revealed a wry smile. Azure Spirit Liquid wasn''t particularly meaningful to spirit novice, and he had only sold three bottles so far. As for the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, it was far beyond the means of the spirit hunters.


    As noon approached, Blaze Regret sighed. If he couldn''t sell them, so be it. Counting the gold coins stored in the void realms Stone and today''s sales, he should have enough to sustain the consumption of Black Flame Mud for a while.


    Just as he was about to pack up his items, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the stall, eyes greedily fixed on the sleeping Blue Jade Cat Spirit, and reached out to grab it.


    "Do you want it? 150,000 gold coins," Blaze Regret blocked his hand and said softly.


    "150,000 gold coins? That''s too expensive. Are you trying to fool me because I don''t know the market?" The man immediately widened his eyes, revealing an ugly face. "10,000, no more."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned slightly. He had encountered many spirit hunters haggling throughout the morning, but it was the first time he had met someone so unreasonable. 10,000 gold coins was almost like taking it for free.


    "150,000, not a coin less," Blaze Regret said firmly.


    The same high level warrior class spirit beasts can vary in strength. The Blue Jade Cat Spirit belongs to the more formidable category. If it were placed in the Angsana Pavilion Auction, 150,000 gold coins wouldn''t even be enough for the starting bid. It''s only in this small Hilda Town and because Blaze Regret urgently needs gold coins that it is being sold so cheaply.


    "Say that again." The big man''s face suddenly turned grim, his voice carrying a hint of threat.


    "Is that Mad Bull? This guy is notorious for being a rogue. I heard that not long ago, an out of town spirit hunter didn''t sell something to him and ended up getting their leg broken and thrown into the Blackwater Gorge!"


    Among the many spirit hunters watching, someone recognized the big man. Sympathy began to show in their gazes toward Blaze Regret. Being noticed by such a person was definitely not a good thing.


    A single misstep could cost him his life.


    "150,000 gold coins," Blaze Regret''s voice remained calm. If this person had spoken kindly, he might have considered lowering the price a bit. But now, that was clearly not an option.


    "10,000 gold coins, not a coin more. Otherwise, I won''t leave today. If you dare to set up your stall again, I''ll block it every day. Anyone who dares to buy from you, I''ll smash their head," Mad Bull sneered.


    "Ten seconds to leave," Blaze Regret''s eyes glinted with icy coldness.


    "Haha, threatening me?"


    Mad Bull laughed loudly, "I''m not leaving. What can you do about it?"


    "You have six seconds left," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "Do you want me to count for you? Six, five, four, three, two, one, time''s up!" Mad Bull leaned his head close to Blaze Regret''s face, laughing wildly.


    Seeing this, the surrounding spirit warrior shook their heads slightly. This young man was doomed. 150,000 gold coins, even they felt a pang of sympathy.


    "Swish!"


    Just as Mad Bull''s laughter erupted, Blaze Regret, who had been sitting cross legged on the ground, suddenly stood up. His foot, glowing with intense flames, lifted and struck Mad Bull''s extended face with a fierce kick.


    With a dull thud, Mad Bull let out a miserable cry as his body staggered backward.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s fierce attack, the onlooking spirit hunters were all taken aback. Soon, their eyes showed pity. Mad Bull was a fifth rank spirit warrior; this kid probably wouldn''t survive the day.


    "You dare hit me?" Mad Bull steadied himself, feeling the burning pain on his face, and looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief.


    Bending down, Blaze Regret packed up his stall and prepared to leave.


    "Still thinking of leaving?"


    A vicious look surged on Mad Bull''s face. "If I don''t chop off your leg today, I won''t be called Song!"


    As he finished speaking, a massive rock bear appeared in front of Mad Bull. After a brief pause, it charged at Blaze Regret with earth shaking steps, eyes gleaming with a sinister light.


    "A fifth rank Rock Bear!" someone exclaimed.


    Blaze Regret slightly turned, and a faint killing intent appeared in his eyes. Read exclusive adventures at m_v-l''-NovelFire


    Red, seeing the charging Rock Bear, immediately leaped down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Strange Blue flames wrapped around its claws, striking the Rock Bear''s chest with lightning speed.

    "A Blue Flame Demon Cat?"


    Seeing Red''s sudden transformation, Mad Bull was momentarily shocked but then sneered, "It''s just a fourth rank. Rock Bear, crush it!"


    "Roar!"


    The Rock Bear roared, its fan sized paws carrying a fierce wind as they slammed downwards.


    Red lightly tapped the ground with its paw, shooting backward with great speed. A Blue blaze shot out from its mouth, only to be smashed into several clusters of flames by the Rock Bear''s heavy punch, falling to the ground.


    After shattering the blaze with a single punch, the Rock Bear''s momentum didn''t wane. It plunged its paw into the ground and then yanked it up suddenly, creating a half foot wide crack that quickly spread toward Red. From the crack, stone spikes erupted swiftly.


    With its excellent evasive skills, Red slightly shifted its body, dodging the row of stone spikes. As it moved, the Rock Bear swiftly darted to its right side, clenching its fist and aiming a brutal punch at its head.


    The violent force from above didn''t cause the slightest ripple in Red''s eyes. Its tail blade lifted and slashed upwards.


    "Clang!"


    The rock fist and the tail blade clashed, a red and yellow ripple spreading out. The surrounding spirit hunters hurriedly backed away, fearing they might get caught in the aftermath.


    "Annoying little pest," Mad Bull growled impatiently. "Rock Bear, use Rock Explosion and finish it in one blow!"

 Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Fight Mad Bull 2

    "Roar!"


    With a thunderous roar, the Rock Bear raised its palms high. Earth yellow spirit energy whistled out, forming a massive stone ball above it. Clear patterns emerged on the stone ball, emanating an incredibly heavy aura.


    A stone sphere floated above the Rock Spirit Bear''s twin palms. Under its control, the sphere, accompanied by a terrifying wind breaking sound, smashed down towards the Red that it had firmly locked onto.


    As the stone sphere shattered the air with explosive sounds, the onlookers gasped in shock.


    "Is that a mid level Spirit Technique, Rock Explosion?"


    "This is the strongest spirit technique mastered by a fifth tier Rock Spirit Bear. Even if you don''t die from it, you''d be seriously injured!"


    The corners of Mad Bull''s mouth curved into a sinister smile, as if he could already see the scene of the Blue Flame Demon Cat being smashed into a pile of meat.


    With its eerie Blue eyes, calmly watching the massive stone sphere shooting down, the next moment, the Red charged straight up. In the process, its body split into two, each figure with three rapidly spinning fireballs in front.


    The Splitting Shadow is a spirit technique that temporarily splits the body. Each figure is substantial.


    "Boom!"


    With a dull, resounding boom, scattered stones embedded deeply into the ground. Amidst the swirling dust, a Blue figure shot out, panting heavily as it stared at the Rock Spirit Bear.


    "Still alive?"


    Mad Bull''s eyes narrowed slightly, and then a vicious voice rang out, "Kid, you should be at your limit now. Rock Spirit Bear, charge over and crush that Cat with one palm!"


    Having used the devastating Rock Explosion spirit technique, Mad Bull''s spiritual power was nearly exhausted. He believed that Blaze Regret, who was merely a fourth tier spirit warrior, wouldn''t be in much better condition.


    The fifth tier Rock Spirit Bear, with its physical strength alone, was enough to instantly crush the fourth tier Blue Flame Demon Cat.


    With a swift motion, Red dodged the Rock Spirit Bear''s wide palm. Suddenly, a faint mocking expression appeared in its eyes. Three streams of fiery light began to swirl around its body, causing its aura to rapidly ascend to the fifth tier.

    Noticing the sudden increase in Red''s strength, the Rock Spirit Bear shock for a moment but after a second it remained indifferent and struck down with another palm. To it, there was no difference between the fourth and fifth tiers; both were destined to be crushed by its hand.


    However, just as the Rock Spirit Bear''s palm was about to land, Red let out a soft chirp. Three clusters of Blue demonic fire coalesced, and its entire body shot forward like a rainbow piercing through the sun.


    "Slash!"


    Red''s body directly pierced through the Rock Spirit Bear''s abdomen, sending a jet of blood spraying out.


    With a mid air twist, Red landed lightly on the ground. Its tail hardened immensely and, like a lightning bolt, sliced across the throat of the falling Rock Spirit Bear.


    This entire scene unfolded in a flash, leaving everyone in shock. Just moments ago, the Blue Flame Demon Cat was at a disadvantage, but in the blink of an eye, it had slit the Rock Spirit Bear''s throat.


    "How can this be?"


    Mad Bull stood in a daze. Blaze Regret''s spiritual power was clearly depleted, so how could his Blue Flame Demon Cat still use spirit techniques?


    Confirming that the Rock Spirit Bear was dead, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief. If Red had used Flame Breath while enduring the Rock Explosion, even if his spiritual power far exceeded that of a fourth tier spirit warrior, he would have only managed to injure the Rock Spirit Bear, not kill it. This victory was entirely due to luck. Read new chapters at m_v-l''e-NovelFire


    Among all of Red''s spirit techniques, Flame Breath undoubtedly consumed the most spiritual power, especially when used in conjunction with the Blue demonic fire.


    "You brat, how dare you kill my spirit beast! Do you know who my brother is?" Mad Bull''s voice was filled with intense killing intent.


    Raising an eyebrow slightly, Blaze Regret extended his hand and spoke in a calm voice.


    "Does that have anything to do with me? However, you''ve provoked me today. Hand over your gold coin card, and I might spare your life."


    Blaze Regret''s voice echoed, causing the surrounding spirit hunters to gasp. As the chill spread through their mouths, they realized they hadn''t misheard. This kid not only killed Mad Bull''s spirit beast but also wanted to rob his gold coin card?


    "Little brother, let it go. His brother is Mad Tan, a seventh tier spirit warrior. You can''t afford to offend him," someone kindly reminded him.


    A seventh tier spirit warrior?


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. Yun Anuar was also a seventh tier spirit warrior. It seemed that in Hildan Town, the Blue Blade Spirit Hunter Group''s influence was just average. Not to mention the Rock Desolation Spirit Hunter Group, even many lone spirit hunters possessed the strength of a seventh tier spirit warrior.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s silence, Mad Bull immediately grew smug. But as he remembered that his Rock Spirit Bear was killed by Blaze Regret''s spirit beast, his tone turned vicious: "Kid, now you understand my power, right? Give me the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, and cripple your primary spirit portal. I might consider not telling my brother about this.


    A seventh tier spirit warrior is indeed someone you can''t afford to offend."


    The surrounding spirit hunters frowned in disapproval. Compensation was one thing, but crippling someone''s spirit portal was too much. However, with Blaze Regret''s strength, he truly couldn''t afford to provoke Mad Tan.


    Gently rubbing his face, Blaze Regret''s voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, slowly emerged: "How difficult could he be? I want to find out."


    The area fell into silence, leaving all the spirit hunters dizzy with disbelief. How could a mere fourth tier spirit warrior have the courage to not fear even a seventh tier spirit warrior?


    Of course, if they knew that Blaze Regret had even killed spirit Imperial considered top tier experts in Hildan Town, their expressions might have been different.

 Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Double Fire Spike Ring

    "Fine, very fine."


    Mad Bull threw a gold coin card to Blaze Regret and quickly retreated. As he did so, he shouted with a mix of fear and bravado, "Just wait, you''ll pay for what you''ve done today!"


    Blaze Regret smirked, clearly unimpressed by such threats.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Blaze Regret, along with Red, slowly walked towards the shop. After purchasing a clean black robe, he began buying large quantities of materials needed to refine Black Flame Mud.


    Black Flame Mud could only be refined by a second tier alchemist, and with his current level of spiritual power, he was just barely capable.


    "Black Flame Grass, Hundred Nectar, and the saliva of a Black Flame Python."


    As Blaze Regret listed the materials, the shop assistant made a strange face. What kind of random items were these? He couldn''t figure out what Blaze Regret needed them for.


    The shop only had Black Flame Grass, so the assistant quickly put out a bounty. It wasn''t until after Blaze Regret finished his meal at the inn that he received the full amount he needed.


    "Let''s head to the mountains on the left. It''s said that many Imperial level spirit beasts roam there, and few spirit hunters are willing to enter," suggested Master Magi after a brief consideration, glancing at the dark mountains to the left of Hildan Town.


    Blaze Regret nodded, cloaking himself in his black robe, and slowly walked towards the left. With his face hidden, the excitedly chatting spirit hunters didn''t realize that he was the very person they were talking about.


    "It seems Mad Tan is quite famous in Hildan Town."


    Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. His tall, slender figure cast a long shadow in the setting sun before gradually disappearing from the town.


    Large leaves covered the cave entrance, with the cool moonlight filtering through the gaps, scattering star like spots inside the cave.


    Sitting cross legged beside a bronze colored cauldron, Blaze Regret''s flame engulfed hands gently touched both sides of the cauldron. His eyes were slightly closed, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead.


    As a substance comparable to a second grade pill, Black Flame Mud could no longer be refined using an ordinary cauldron. After all, such cauldrons could only handle simple pills and potions. Find more adventures on m-v|-NovelFire


    The liquid inside the cauldron gradually surged towards the center, with its moisture evaporating rapidly, faintly forming a medicinal mud. The rising white smoke indicated the heat of the medicinal mud.


    Following Master Magi''s instructions, Blaze Regret carefully applied the Black Flame Mud onto Red''s body. Instantly, the latter''s eyes widened, and his gaping mouth emitted a painful wail.


    "Bear with it."


    Master Magi grinned maliciously, "This medicinal mud contains extremely violent fire attribute energy. If you can fully absorb it, the benefits will be immense."


    Red''s mouth twitched as he angrily glared at Master Magi, finding his smile increasingly annoying.


    "Crack!"


    The next morning, a crisp sound suddenly resonated by Blaze Regret''s ear.


    The black medicinal mud enveloping Red had already fallen off, like two pieces of broken eggshell.


    Red screamed and ran around the cave energetically, as if on fire.


    "Tsk tsk, the medicinal properties of the Black Flame Mud have been completely absorbed. Now, even without synchronizing with your spiritual power, this little guy can tear apart that Rock Spirit Bear from yesterday," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "That was too reckless," Blaze Regret said, his face pale. The energy of the Black Flame Mud was terrifying; any more, and Red might have exploded from the excess spiritual power.


    However, the effects of the Black Flame Mud were undeniable. If Red could adapt to this state, the speed at which he broke through to the fifth rank would greatly accelerate.


    "Swish!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to push aside the leaves at the entrance of the cave, a dozen vines suddenly dropped down, wrapping around him like venomous snakes.


    "Withered Wood Vine?"


    Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately retreated. Red, on the other hand, charged forward, his body engulfed in Blue flames that sprayed in all directions, though the Blue was tinged with traces of black impurities.


    Feeling the intense heat, the vines emitted a shrill, fearful screech and quickly recoiled. However, they were no match for the incoming Blue flames and were incinerated in an instant.


    "Little guy, you''ve made progress," Master Magi said with a faint smile, glancing at Blaze Regret.


    The old Blaze Regret wouldn''t have had such awareness. After this period of training, his survival skills had clearly improved significantly.

    Just as it was about to leap and attack, a Blue shadow suddenly appeared behind it. Claws flickering with fire mercilessly plunged into its head.


    Sitting on the trunk of a giant tree, Blaze Regret swung his legs leisurely, watching Red execute one flawless ambush after another.


    In a flash, five days had passed.


    By now, Red had a bloody aura about him, and his energy fluctuated, constantly showing signs of advancing to the fifth rank.


    After taking down a winged serpent, Red suddenly let out a low growl. Waves of intense heat rippled outwards, and the black impurities in his burning Blue flames had completely disappeared.


    "He''s at the fifth rank!"


    Blaze Regret leaped down from the tree trunk in surprise, causing a few leaves to drift down in his wake.


    A fifth rank Blue Flame Demon Cat now had the opportunity to comprehend new spiritual skill or upgrade one of it spiritual skill.


    The reason it''s only called an opportunity is that each warrior level spirit beast starts with two basic spiritual skills and if lucky spirit beast also will get opportunity to upgrade one of it skill. Later on, if they want to learn new skills or upgrade skill, it depends entirely on luck and talent.


    Some spirit beasts might only have the initial two skills even when they advance to the Imperial level.

 Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Killing Mad Brother 1 (Bonus)

    At that moment, Red suddenly squatted down, spreading its paws. On one paw, the Fire Spike Ring rapidly appeared, while on the other, Blue spirit energy began to churn vigorously.


    "Hmm?" Master Magi slightly opened his eyes, observing Red with a contemplative look.


    Red''s body trembled slightly, pain evident on its face as all its spirit energy surged towards its right paw, causing the energy there to churn even more violently. Discover hidden content at m,v l''e-NovelFire


    "Buzz!"


    In the next instant, the churning spirit energy rapidly condensed, and in a blink, another Fire Spike Ring, identical in size to the one on the left paw, materialized!


    "Is that... two Fire Spike Rings?" Blaze Regret''s mouth gaped in astonishment. He hadn''t expected that after it upgrade in rank, Red did not learn new technique but instead upgrade it skill Fire spike Ring and it condense another Fire Spike Ring!


    One Fire Spike Ring was already enough to slay a seventh tier spirit beast; two could contend with an eighth tier spirit beast!


    Realizing this, Blaze Regret felt his mouth go dry. Although the Spirit Skill Flame Breath played a part, the thought of jumping three tiers in combat prowess was something unimaginable in the past.


    "Little guy, someone has entered the mountain range."


    Just as Blaze Regret was watching Red, Master Magi suddenly closed his book and spoke in a calm voice, "There are some familiar faces, one of them is Mad Bull, and the other should be his elder brother, Mad Tan."


    "What are they doing here?" Blaze Regret frowned in confusion.


    This mountain range is rarely visited by people, and the number of Imperial level spirit beasts is much higher than in other places. When discussing this area, spirit hunters usually avoid it at all costs, so why would anyone willingly come here?


    If it weren''t for Master Magi''s presence, he wouldn''t have dared to enter either.


    With a wave of Master Magi''s hand, a golden screen appeared in front of Blaze Regret, showing two figures sneaking through the trees. One of them was indeed Mad Bull, and the other, with a much more authoritative appearance, was undoubtedly his elder brother, Mad Tan.


    "It looks like they are searching for something," Blaze Regret mused.


    After a while, Mad Tan suddenly took out a black fruit piece and map from his pocket.


    "Damn, a Bloodline fruit! Does that mean there''s a bloodline tree around here?"


    Master Magi, who had initially shown no interest, snapped his book shut abruptly and even let out a rare curse.


    Blaze Regret stared unblinkingly at the black fruit piece and map in Black Tan''s hand. Even though he didn''t know what it was, Master Magi''s reaction made it clear that it was something extraordinary.


    "Whoosh!"


    After maintaining this state for a while, Red suddenly wobbled, and the two Fire Spike Rings uncontrollably shot out, pierced through several giant trees in succession and disappeared into the deeper part of the forest. A clear Cat cry echoed in the air.


    "So that''s how it is. The spirit energy consumed by two Fire Spike Rings is not simply additive but exponentially greater. It seems that condensing two Fire Spike Rings has drained all of Red''s spirit energy, making it impossible to maintain their operation any longer," Master Magi''s thoughts raced. Even so, he looked at Red with newfound respect.


    Achieving this feat showed that Red''s intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary spirit beasts.


    The Rock Spirit Bear, as massive as a small mountain, strode through the forest. A Black Wind Leopard that lunged to attack was brutally torn in half, blood raining down. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Big brother, are you sure there''s a Bloodline spirit tree here?" Mad Bull asked, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a hint of doubt in his voice.


    "Absolutely. That spiritual warrior said he found the bloodline tree that near it ripe here before he died. He couldn''t have been wrong," Mad Tan replied, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he recalled the spiritual Warrior he had tortured to death.


    "A few days ago, my Rock Spirit Bear died in battle, and I haven''t found a replacement. If I can get new spiritual beast, I''ll tear that kid to pieces. And I''ll also snatch that Blue Jade Cat Spirit."


    Mad Tan held a map, sneering, "You actually fell to a fourth tier spiritual warrior. That''s quite embarrassing. But there are few in Hildan Town who dare lay a hand on my brother. Since he did, I''ll make sure he understands the price of crossing me."


    After search for a longtime. Mad Bull feel tired and ask his brother to take a little rest. They search for a cave because afraid get attack from any wild imperial level spirit beast.


    "Found it!"


    Finally, Mad Tan stood before a black cave entrance, his face filled with indescribable excitement. "We can rest in here for now before we proceed to find the bloodline tree. Rock Spirit Bear, you go in first."


    The Rock Spirit Bear crouched down, grasped the cave entrance with its paws, and leaped down. Even from the tree trunk, Blaze Regret could feel the ground tremble.


    "So arrogant. Aren''t they afraid of attracting a Imperial grade spiritual beast?" Blaze Regret smirked, envisioning a scene where a spiritual Imperial beast suddenly appeared and tore the two men to pieces.


    "Didn''t you notice? Every time they move, they sprinkle a white powder around them. That powder is made from the bones of the lord level spiritual beast, the Cyan Alchemist Spider. Imperial grade spiritual beasts are repelled by its scent and won''t dare to come near," Master Magi explained with a smile after the two men and the bear had been inside for a while. "Let''s go in. It seems safe now."


    Leaping down from the tree, Blaze Regret cautiously approached the cave entrance. After listening intently for a while to ensure that Mad Tan and Mad Bull had moved far enough, he carefully slipped inside.


    "Thud!"


    Straightening up slowly, Blaze Regret found himself in a dark passageway. Blaze Regret ask red to go infront to check if got any ambush.

    Blaze Regret with Red, began to walk deeper into the passageway. Since Mad Tan and Mad Bull had been inside for a while, they didn''t encounter each other.


    They walked in dark passage for an unknown length of time. Just as Blaze Regret was beginning to feel oppressed by the constant dark, two faint voices finally reached his ears.


    "Big brother, did yo really think the map is true. Why haven''t we seen any trace of the bloodline tree yet?"


    "Heh, Bloodline tree, these treasure tree, usually in a enclosed spaces. We will search other place with cave after this."


    Just as he want to take a little nap, Mad Tan suddenly turned around and shouted sternly, "Who''s there? Show yourself!"


    "There''s no one..."


    Mad Bull''s voice trailed off, and the latter part of his sentence got stuck in his throat when he saw Blaze Regret slowly walking out from behind, looking helpless.


    "It''s you!" Mad Bull clenched his fist, his eyes bursting with a cold, murderous intent.


    "You know him?" Mad Tan asked, surprised, glancing at Mad Bull.


    "It''s him, the kid who killed my Rock Spirit Bear. I never thought I''d run into him here. It''s like heaven is helping me. Big brother, don''t kill him outright; I want to take my time torturing him," Mad Bull said, eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Blaze Regret.


    "Oh? So it''s you."


    Mad Tan looked Blaze Regret up and down with interest. When he noticed that Blaze Regret was already a fifth grade warrior, he sneered, "Just advanced, huh? A fifth level spiritual warrior at such a young age is rare. I''ll give you a chance. Come over and kowtow to my brother a few times to vent his anger, and I can recommend you to join the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn''t expected that Mad Tan had connections with the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group.


    "No, that''s not enough here!"


    Mad Bull sneered and waved his hand, then pointed to his mud stained cloth boots: "When we get to Hildan Town, I want you to lick these clean in front of all the spirit hunters. Otherwise, I won''t be satisfied."


    "Do it." Mad Tan glanced at Blaze Regret and then turned around, as if expecting that Blaze Regret wouldn''t dare to refuse.


    "Hey, listen."


    Blaze Regret sighed, why do many like to talk like that to me. his voice slowly filled with exasperation: "Do you two find talking to yourselves interesting? Licking someone else''s boots is something I can''t do. But you two, if you''re interested, you can give it a try."


    "Do you want to die?"


    Mad Tan turned back, his eyes filled with cold, murderous intent: "Since you''re so ungrateful, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance to live. Rock Spirit Bear, in ten breaths, cover this passage with this kid''s blood."


    Rock Spirit Bear looked indifferently at Blaze Regret and the Red, whose whole body was rising with Blue flames. With a clenched fist, gray white rocks condensed around it. Stepping with a force that made the dark cave tremble, it threw a fierce punch.


    "Bang!"


    The air seemed to explode at this moment, and the surging wind made Red''s fur flutter slightly. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Such an attack made Blaze Regret''s face slightly tense. The seventh grade Rock Spirit Bear was obviously much stronger than Mad Bull''s fifth grade Rock Spirit Bear. Even without using any spirit techniques, it could deliver such a terrifying blow.


    Seeing this, Red let out a battle filled growl. Its sharp claws spread open, and blazing Blue flames surged up, then it met the attack head on without any avoidance.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks flew, and Red staggered back a few steps, barely stabilizing itself against the cave wall. The Rock Spirit Bear, surprised that it hadn''t killed the Flame Cat, immediately joined its fists together, raised them high above its head, and slammed them down fiercely.


    With a slight sidestep, Red dodged the Rock Spirit Bear''s unstoppable strike. Its tail blade swiped out, leaving a long bloody gash on the bear''s arm.


    Competing in strength with Rock Spirit Bear was clearly unwise. Such spirit beasts possessed overwhelming power, rarely defeated by same grade spirit beasts. But in terms of speed, Rock Spirit Bear couldn''t keep up with Red at all.


    Feeling the pain in its arm, the Rock Spirit Bear let out an angry roar and swept its large palm, tearing a long crack in the hard cave wall.


    Rolling on the ground to dodge the attack, Red was about to get up when its fur suddenly stood on end. It quickly rolled another round, just as the Rock Spirit Bear''s foot stomped heavily on the spot where it had been, causing the ground to cave in.


    "Big brother, this flame Cat has a spiritual technique that can temporarily increase its rank. It''s best to finish it quickly!"


    Watching the Rock Spirit Bear''s repeated missed attacks, a hint of urgency flashed in Mad Bull''s eyes. The scene of Red piercing through the abdomen of the fifth grade Rock Spirit Bear like lightning had left an indelible shadow in his heart.


    "It can increase its rank? Interesting." Mad Tan''s mouth twisted into a cold smile.


    The heavy palm strike only caught a few strands of Blue fur, and a look of irritation appeared in Rock Spirit Bear''s eyes. As it clenched its fist, earthy yellow spiritual energy transformed into sharp stone spears, which then fanned out toward Red with a sweep of its hand.


    Red''s eyes narrowed slightly. Flames surrounded its body, and its aura surged instantly. With a swipe of its tail blade, all the stone spears shattered and embedded themselves in the ground at an angle.


    "The strength can actually rival a sixth grade spirit beast," Mad Tan said with a careless smile. "No wonder it could kill my brother''s Rock Spirit Bear. It turns out to be the rare spiritual technique, Flame Breath. However, the gap in strength can''t be bridged with such minor tricks, so just accept your fate."


    "Roar!"

    Rock Spirit Bear raised both palms, gathering all its spiritual energy. In a blink, a rock sphere emitting immense spiritual power appeared, clearly much stronger than the one Mad Bull''s Rock Spirit Bear could create.


    "I''ve broken this move before," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "How about this one?" S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a sinister laugh, Mad Tan watched as another rock sphere formed in Rock Spirit Bear''s other hand. The ground beneath it sank a few inches from the sudden additional weight.


    "Two of them, huh?"


    Blaze Regret''s voice remained unperturbed. He lifted his face slightly and said softly, "I haven''t broken this one before, but I can break it for you now."


    "Arrogant!" Mad Tan sneered dismissively.


    With a low roar, Rock Spirit Bear launched the two rock spheres. They radiated violent energy waves, as if capable of shattering mountains.


    The attack came whistling like a fierce wind. The battle intent in Red''s eyes surged suddenly. On its outstretched paw, a tangible Blue fire ring appeared, spinning rapidly and emitting a piercing sound as it sliced through the air.


    "What kind of spiritual technique is that?" Mad Tan''s eyes narrowed, feeling a sense of mortal danger from the spiked fire ring.

    "Shua!"


    As Red''s hand moved, the fire ring vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the twin star like rock spheres. Surprisingly, their collision didn''t produce much sound.


    The sharp fire ring sliced directly through the two rock spheres, and when it reappeared, the flames enveloping it had dimmed significantly.


    The rock spheres continued their rapid trajectory, showing no signs of damage.


    "Haha, I thought it was some powerful spiritual technique," Mad Bull laughed loudly, while Mad Tan smirked dismissively.


    With calm Blue eyes, Red watched the incoming rock spheres. It extended its claw, making contact with one of the spheres, and exerted a slight pressure.


    "Crack!"


    The two rock spheres stopped spinning instantly. Cracks spread across their surfaces like spider webs, and with a loud bang, they shattered completely.


    Mad Tan and Mad Bull''s pupils shrank, but before they could react, the slightly dimmed fire ring surged with spiritual energy once more. Its speed increased sharply, and after a few spirals, it slashed fiercely toward Rock Spirit Bear''s head.


    "Rock Spirit Bear, use Stone Shield!" Mad Tan shouted urgently.


    Rock Spirit Bear, momentarily panicked, hammered the ground with its palms, raising a stone wall like a shield in front of it.


    However, the destructive power of the fire ring far exceeded the hardness of the stone shield. With a slight flicker, it tore through the shield''s defense, and the sharp fire spikes became clearly visible in Rock Spirit Bear''s eyes.


    Crossing its arms, Rock Spirit Bear channeled all its spiritual energy to its arms, forming an extremely hard rock armor to meet the incoming fire ring head on.


    "Clang!"


    The edges of the fire ring spun wildly against the rock armor, creating a dazzling shower of sparks. In the next instant, it shot out from behind Rock Spirit Bear like a bolt of lightning, embedding itself deeply into the fiery crystal wall.


    Rock Spirit Bear''s arms fell limp as it stared blankly at the Blue Flame Demon Cat. Its mouth opened slightly before it collapsed backward, with blood gushing and flowing through the passage.


    "How could this happen?" Mad Bull''s legs trembled slightly as he looked at the fallen Rock Spirit Bear. Just a few days ago, this Flame Cat didn''t possess such terrifying spiritual techniques. How could it have suddenly become so powerful?


    The one most affected was undoubtedly Mad Tan. He had entered the this mountain with high hopes of obtaining the bloodline fruit to further enhance his strength. However, the harsh reality shattered his spirit.


    "Your brother isn''t that hard to deal with after all," Blaze Regret said with a smile, shaking his head gently as he looked at Mad Bull.


    "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me."


    As the Red approached, Mad Bull clung to the wall of the cave in fear, repeatedly pleading with Blaze Regret, "If you spare my life, I''ll even be your dog!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes were cold. With a flick of his sharp claws, a line of blood appeared on Mad Bull''s neck.


    "A person who doesn''t even want their dignity, what''s the point of living?" Blaze Regret said indifferently.


    Seeing Mad Bull fall, Mad Tan shivered all over. As he retreated, he tried to sound fierce but was actually trembling, "Boy, do you know my relationship with the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunters? If you kill me, you''ll face endless pursuit in Hildan Town!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s lips curled into an amused smile.


    Spirit Imperial were indeed strong to him now, but using them to threaten him? It just showed how naive Mad Tan was.


    The Blue flame''s Demon Cat palm trembled, and its sharp claws extended, mercilessly slashing towards Mad Tan''s throat.


    "Snap!"


    Mad Tan died just like his brother Mad Bull. Regret came to their body and search for any treasure that they have. But the main is to find the map n bloodline fruit piece. After find what he want, Blaze Regret and Red go out the cave to search the location of the bloodline fruit.


    However, to help Red recover as quickly as possible, Blaze Regret chose to walk for the time being.


    Blaze Regret walked swiftly. Even while descending the mountain, Master Magi didn''t forget to release his spiritual power to avoid ambushes any imperial spirit beast.


    After some time, Blaze Regret reached the outskirts of Mountain. Suddenly, he stopped. There were no enemies around him. Instead, he had discovered a concealed valley entrance. This valley entrance was very hidden, only allowing one person to pass through and was covered by dense shrubs. If Master Magi hadn''t released his spiritual power, Blaze Regret wouldn''t have discovered this place.


    Because this Mountain was "fraught with danger," Blaze Regret did not immediately want to explore it and instinctively thought of leaving.


    But just then, his ears twitched as he vaguely heard the sounds of collisions and roars, giving the impression that a battle was taking place inside.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Bloodline Fruit 1

    Judging by the frequency of the sounds, there were quite a few participants in the battle.


    "Should I go or not?" Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment but ultimately couldn''t resist his curiosity and chose to explore the valley.


    For safety, Blaze Regret ask red to go in first to search and find if any danger near the entrance before proceeding cautiously.


    At first, the passage was narrow, barely allowing one person to pass. However, the further he went, the wider it became. After advancing several dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up.


    It was a gourd shaped valley with lush vegetation and abundant grass. Such a natural environment inevitably housed a large number of wild Spirit beast.


    Blaze Regret was positioned on higher ground. Using the trees as cover, he peeked out and quickly took in everything within the valley.


    In the Gourd Valley, there was a sizable grassy area where two groups of wild Spirit Beast were engaged in a fierce battle.


    One of these Spirit beast groups resembled zebras. They were robust, with their bodies covered in tassel like purple stripes. They had a long silver horn on their heads, lightning markings on their foreheads, and a pair of purple eyes, making them look like legendary unicorns.


    These were Thunder Zebras, a rare type of electric Spirit Beast known for their irritable and easily angered nature. They were renowned for their terrifying burst of speed and were popular as Spirit beast mounts.


    The other group of Spirit Beast looked similar to mantises but stood over a meter tall. They were dark green all over and stood on two legs. Their forearms were a pair of serrated green scythes, and they had a pair of wings on their backs as thin as cicada wings.


    These were Serrated Mantises, known for their exceptionally fierce attacks but with the drawback of poor defense.


    Due to their living habits, these two Spirit beast groups were naturally at odds and were currently engaged in a fierce battle.


    The Thunder Zebras excelled both at close and long range combat without significant weaknesses. In contrast, the Serrated Mantises were primarily close combat fighters whose poor defense meant they often used offense as their best defense. However, this also meant they couldn''t sustain prolonged fights.


    As time passed, more and more Spirit Beast fell to the ground, some losing their ability to fight, while others died outright.


    From the looks of it, the numbers and combat strength of both sides were evenly matched, and it seemed it would take a considerable amount of time to determine the victor.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret began cautiously approaching the battlefield.


    Given the numbers of both sides, there was a significant chance of encountering medium tier Spirit Beast. If luck was on his side, he might even "pick up" high tier or even exceptional ones.


    After about five minutes, when he was still four to five hundred meters away from the battlefield, Blaze Regret stopped and waited quietly for the battle to end, knowing that the time to reap the rewards was fast approaching.


    Blaze Regret observed in secret, his gaze mainly focused on the center of the battlefield, where energies were fluctuating wildly. Over a dozen wild Spirit Beast were engaged in a chaotic battle.


    Unlike the thunder striped zebras and Serrated mantises on the periphery, these Spirit Beast were far more imposing, at least at the lower ninth tier warrior grade , each clustered around their respective leaders.


    Both in terms of aura and size, their leaders were significantly stronger than these elite Spirit Beast, being bona fide high tier Spirit Beast.


    At this moment, the thunder striped zebra leader, surrounded by lightning, lowered its head forcefully. Its sharp horn aimed at the Serrated mantis leader, and like an arrow released from a bowstring, it launched a swift charge.


    The Serrated mantis leader did not dodge; it resolutely chose to attack rather than defend. Its hands formed a cross, and its serrated scythes interlocked, flashing with a striking blade light as it slashed towards the thunder striped zebra leader''s head.


    Boom! Boom! sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Dull collision sounds echoed as both parties retreated a distance. A deep, bone revealing cross shaped wound appeared on the thunder striped zebra leader''s head, with bright red blood gushing out, staining the ground crimson.


    The Serrated mantis leader did not come out unscathed either; its chest was punctured by the opponent''s horn, with threads of electric current coursing through its wound, causing a numbing sensation throughout its body.


    In the next moment, the leaders of both factions moved again, their speeds so fast they seemed like two black shadows intertwining instantly.


    While the leaders were dueling, the other members of the two groups mainly engaged in group combat, which was undoubtedly even more brutal.


    In such circumstances, more and more wild Spirit Beast lost their combat abilities; some were rendered immobile, while others ceased to breathe altogether.


    Compared to human wars, the battles of wild Spirit Beast were more cruel and bloody, illustrating the law of natural selection, where only the fittest survive.


    The more wild Spirit Beast that died, the more heartache Blaze Regret felt. Who knew if among these fallen Spirit Beast there were any of high quality?


    Before long, both Spirit Beast factions had suffered heavy losses, but the situation on the battlefield remained evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a victor.


    Typically, at this stage, to avoid mutual destruction, both sides would choose to retreat and cease fighting once they had reached a certain point.


    However, the reality was that they were completely consumed by bloodlust, fighting with such fervor that it seemed they would not stop until their goals were achieved.


    "Strange!" Blaze Regret thought to himself, watching the unusually brutal battlefield with curiosity.


    At that moment, Blaze Regret faintly caught a whiff of a peculiar fragrance.


    Red''s sense of smell was noticeably keener. However, upon inhaling this scent, it inexplicably grew agitated and its body began to heat up. Despite its efforts to control itself, Red could not completely resist the sensation.

 Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Bloodline Fruit 2

    "Red, what''s wrong?" Blaze Regret immediately noticed Red''s unusual behavior.


    Red let out a soft whine, its nose twitching as it stared intently in the direction of the northeast corner. As soon as it opened its mouth, drool began to pour out like a waterfall.


    Following Red''s gaze, Blaze Regret looked in that direction.


    Close to the center of the battlefield, the leaders of both factions were still locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle. This time, however, Blaze Regret''s focus shifted from them to the surrounding environment.


    Soon, his gaze fixed on a small tree.


    The tree was within the range of the Spirit Beast leaders'' battle, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent that they instinctively avoided the tree while attacking.


    "A willow tree?"


    Blaze Regret was somewhat puzzled. This small tree resembled a willow, with the exception that it bore a red and green fruit at the top of its canopy. The fruit was round and plump, translucent, and faintly emitted a dim, blood red glow.


    As time passed, the blood red glow grew more intense, and the fragrance it emanated became richer, spreading over a wider area.


    "This...this is...a Bloodline Fruit!" As if recalling something, Master Magi felt a surge of excitement.


    The Bloodline Fruit is a rare essence of nature, formed only through the mutation of trees and impossible to cultivate. According to various indications, any tree species could potentially produce a Bloodline Fruit.


    The effects of the Bloodline Fruit are incredibly potent; it can stimulate and enhance a Spirit Beast''s bloodline, giving the Spirit Beast the chance to evolve into a stronger species. It was no wonder these two factions were fighting so fiercely.


    However, consuming a Bloodline Fruit does not guarantee bloodline enhancement. Its success rate varies, mainly depending on the Spirit Beast''s quality and bloodline concentration. The higher the quality and the lower the bloodline concentration, the higher the likelihood of success.


    If the bloodline enhancement fails, the Spirit Beast won''t explode, but it will suffer a period of lethargy.


    "This Bloodline Fruit isn''t fully ripe yet!" After observing for a moment, Master Magi concluded. According to his knowledge , a Bloodline Fruit is only fully mature when it turns completely blood red.


    An unripe Bloodline Fruit not only lacks any beneficial effects but is also highly toxic, which is why wild Spirit Beast avoid touching it.


    Moreover, once a Bloodline Fruit matures, it must be consumed quickly, or the energy it contains will gradually dissipate until it becomes ineffective.


    Given the powerful effects of the Bloodline Fruit, even though it cannot be preserved, high level Beast Masters are willing to pay a high price for its growth location, indicating its immense value.


    "Red, be patient. We''ll wait until it''s fully ripe," Blaze Regret reassured Red, who visibly calmed down, partly because the Bloodline Fruit hadn''t matured yet.


    As they waited, time slowly passed, and Blaze Regret noticed several wild Spirit Beast in the surroundings.


    As the Bloodline Fruit neared maturity, its fragrance grew stronger, inevitably attracting more wild Spirit Beast.


    Every fully mature Bloodline Fruit typically triggers a fierce scramble.


    There was no other way; the Bloodline Fruit was too important to them.


    In the eyes of the two Spirit Beast factions, they were the valley''s dominant forces, believing that defeating the other would grant them ownership of the Bloodline Fruit.


    Unfortunately, the two factions were evenly matched. After a prolonged battle, neither could defeat the other, leading to a mutually destructive outcome. Find your next read at m_v l|e-NovelFire.net


    Before the Bloodline Fruit matured, their battle finally came to an end. The thunder striped zebra faction barely edged out a victory. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, the cost was high. The thunder striped zebra faction suffered heavy losses, with only a few zebras left capable of fighting, and even they were far from their prime.


    The thunder striped zebra leader stood triumphantly over the Serrated mantis leader''s corpse, raising its head and letting out a victorious cry. However, its condition was dire; although it had defeated its opponent, it was severely wounded, covered in scars, and had a broken horn.


    "It''s our turn now!" Blaze Regret thought to himself. Seizing the moment before the Bloodline Fruit matured, he immediately took action.


    Blaze Regret left his hiding place and, under the protection of Red, Blaze Regret slowly advanced towards the battlefield.


    In the midst of two major factions suffering heavy losses, the surrounding wild Spirit beasts had to weigh their own strengths and would not easily provoke conflict.


    Of course, if the bloodline fruit matured, the nearby wild Spirit beasts would inevitably fall into a frenzy. At that point, they would have no reservations and would definitely trigger another round of chaos.


    Almost simultaneously, many wild Spirit beasts also began to leave their hiding places, moving closer to the bloodline fruit, eager to occupy the most advantageous positions.


    The thinking of Spirit beasts is simple; they don''t have the convoluted thoughts of humans. They believe that the closer they are to the bloodline fruit, the better. Once the fruit matures, they can seize it at the first opportunity.


    However, this also comes with the greatest danger, as they often become targets of focused attacks.


    The lightning striped zebra community always occupies the best positions, while the other wild Spirit beasts are spread out, waiting for the bloodline fruit to mature.


    Unlike the wild Spirit beasts, Blaze Regret did not approach the bloodline fruit immediately. Based on the condition of the fruit, it would undoubtedly take some time to fully mature.


    After the battle, the nearby grass was soaked in blood, with numerous lightning striped zebras and Serrated mantises lying on the ground. Many were already dead, but quite a few had survived.


    However, even those who survived would not have a good fate. When the bloodline fruit matured, a second round of chaos would surely ensue, and they would definitely be affected.


    Try to use your spirit sense to sense if there any high quality spirit beast in the battlefield. After you use the Sacred Crystal before. It should also give you an ability to sense spirit beast tier and temporary contract beside can contract all element. Said Master Magi

 Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Bloodline Fruit 3

    In the next moment, Blaze Regret extended his Spirit power, encompassing an area of several dozen meters, carefully sensing the quality of the Spirit Beasts.


    In an instant, his mind resembled a radar screen, displaying dozens of light spots. These light spots represented the quality of the Spirit Beasts, with brighter spots indicating higher quality, said Master Magi.


    Unfortunately, all of these light spots were dim, with brightness barely discernible, and none represented anything better than low quality Spirit Beasts.


    Blaze Regret felt a bit disappointed, but he did not lose heart. Although the battlefield was not very large, the range of his Spirit power was limited, and he could not encompass them all at once.


    Soon, Blaze Regret reached the other side and extended his Spirit power again. This time, there was a noticeable difference. The vast majority of light spots remained very dim, but one spot clearly stood out, radiating a bright glow.


    Following the position of the bright spot, Blaze Regret quickly locked onto his target.


    It was a lightning striped zebra, smaller than its peers and appeared younger, seemingly still in its novice tier.


    The lightning striped zebra stared blankly with lifeless eyes, and there was a deep wound on its neck, from which blood continuously flowed, leaving a large pool of blood on the ground.


    This was undoubtedly a fatal injury. If it was not treated in time, this lightning striped zebra would end up bleeding to death, Said Master Magi.


    The dying state is different from losing combat ability; if it does not receive treatment, its condition will continue to worsen, ultimately leading to death.


    Blaze Regret stood before the lightning striped zebra and, regardless of whether it could understand him, said from his elevated position, "If you want to live, then open your mind and sign a temporary contract with me!"


    Perhaps the lightning striped zebra had opened its mind, or maybe its condition was just too dire. In any case, the temporary contract was quickly completed, resulting in a mark that was branded onto the zebra''s head.


    "Master Magi, can you please heal it?"


    Master Magi nodded with a serious expression, and green wooden energy quickly gathered, beginning to heal the lightning striped zebra''s wounds.


    Under Master Magi''s treatment, the zebra''s injuries stabilized rapidly and was eventually stored in Blaze Regret''s Spirit realms stone.


    Soon, Blaze Regret searched the entire battlefield, but unfortunately, he did not find a second high quality Spirit Beast.


    "I still need some helpers!" Looking at the bloodline fruit that had not yet fully matured, Blaze Regret''s mind began to formulate new ideas.


    With his current strength, trying to snatch the bloodline fruit amidst the chaos would be extremely difficult. Moreover, even if he succeeded, he would need a way to break through the encirclement.


    To enhance his strength in a short time, Blaze Regret planned to contract wild Spirit Beasts. His target was the lightning striped zebra. Although the Serrated mantis was stronger in close combat, the lightning striped zebra had advantages in speed and ranged attacks, and it could also be ridden, making it more suitable for the upcoming chaos.


    Due to his limited spirit power, Blaze Regret could only choose the best among the candidates. After careful selection, he ultimately contracted five lightning striped zebras with Master Magi help.


    These five zebras were not severely injured and quickly regained their mobility under Master Magi''s healing.


    Additionally, all of them were at levels between Low tier warrior seventh grade and Rank ninth grade, meaning that even without fully recovering, they possessed considerable combat strength.


    Since Red was the main force in seizing the bloodline fruit, Blaze Regret chose one of the ninth grade lightning striped zebras to serve as it temporary mount.


    Once prepared, Blaze Regret led his team close to the willow tree nurturing the bloodline fruit. He did not head to the center but instead stayed in a relatively rear position.


    **Yuu Yuu~**


    Not far away, seeing the five lightning striped zebras beside Blaze Regret, the leader of the lightning striped zebras displayed a human-like expression of surprise before letting out a powerful roar directed at the five zebras.


    The five lightning striped zebras clearly became agitated, seemingly wanting to move towards their leader and obey its commands.


    Blaze Regret had anticipated this and hurriedly activated the temporary contract. In an instant, the contract marks on the heads of the five zebras began to emit a dim glow.


    If there had been a choice, he wouldn''t have activated the contract marks.


    In that moment, the five lightning striped zebras felt a sharp pain in their heads, a deep seated agony that caused them to let out painful whinnies.


    Soon, the pain subsided.


    Under the intimidation of the contract marks, their gazes towards Blaze Regret were filled with awe, and they no longer dared to act on their own.


    **Yuu Yuu~**


    The leader of the lightning striped zebras did not give up and called out again, its voice carrying authority and warning. Unfortunately, due to the intimidation of the contract marks, the zebras ignored their leader, keeping their heads down and not daring to look at it.


    "As long as you don''t go against my orders, you''ll be set free once the task is accomplished! Now, drink this healing liquid and spirit food, and you''ll have the strength to fight!"


    At this moment, Blaze Regret took out several large bowls and poured the healing liquid and spirit food into them.


    In addition to restoring their injuries and stamina, Blaze Regret also had the intention of winning them over, especially since, in a way, he had saved their lives. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After drinking the healing liquid and eat the spirit food, its effects quickly took hold. The five lightning striped zebras became invigorated, and their injuries began to heal at a visibly rapid pace.


    During this time, Blaze Regret remained still, quietly waiting for the bloodline fruit to mature.


    After about a quarter of an hour, the bloodline fruit emitted an intensely rich fragrance, and its color had completely transformed into a deep blood red.

    The bloodline fruit was ripe!

 Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Bloodline Fruit 4

    At the moment the bloodline fruit ripened, the surrounding wild Spirit Beast immediately sprang into action.


    **Snap!**


    The fastest to move was naturally the Thunder Zebra leader closest to the fruit. It leaped high, seemingly about to swallow the bloodline fruit.


    Unfortunately, just as it was about to succeed, a large earth colored hand suddenly formed on the ground, grabbing the Thunder Zebra leader by its hind leg and flinging it away before it could react.


    "Earth Rhino!" Blaze Regret remained motionless, constantly observing the situation. As soon as the earth colored hand formed, he immediately identified the opponent.


    This was a massive rhino, standing over ten feet tall and about four meters in length. It had a plump body, with one long and one short horn on its head, and its whole body was covered in thick rock, giving the impression of a rock armor.


    Undoubtedly, this was also a mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast.


    Besides the Earth Rhino, there were several other mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast nearby, which was why Blaze Regret didn''t take immediate action. Even if he succeeded by chance, he wouldn''t be able to keep the bloodline fruit.


    The Earth Rhino moved slowly, and before it could take a step, a golden figure arrived first, opening its mouth to bite the bloodline fruit.


    This was a Thunder Leopard, known for its speed and explosiveness, and like the Earth Rhino, it was also a mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast.


    As Blaze Regret had anticipated, before the Thunder Leopard could succeed, it was bound in place by several thick vines.


    The one binding the Thunder Leopard was a Thorn Flower Spirit Beast, a plant type Spirit Beast with a huge flower. The flower had a face as beautiful as a blossom, and instead of legs, it had over a dozen thick vines, almost all of which could serve as weapons.


    The only downside was that its mobility was even slower than that of the Earth Rhino, which is a common issue among many plant type Spirit Beast.


    After temporarily binding the Thunder Leopard, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast controlled one of its vines to reach straight for the bloodline fruit.


    Suddenly, a large pigeon sized Spotted Spider hung from a willow tree, its scarlet eyes gleaming. It sprayed silver web from its mouth, the sticky strands entangling with the vine, making it difficult for the vine to advance.


    In the sky, a snow white bird with a wingspan of about five or six meters seized the opportunity. It moved swiftly, like a white shadow, diving down with its giant hook like claws aimed at the bloodline fruit.


    "Heavenly Bird!" Blaze Regret was visibly surprised upon seeing the bird. This was a rather rare Spirit Beast, especially valued for its healing abilities, making it highly sought after by spirit beast masters and thus increasingly rare in the wild.


    Moreover, even mid tier warrior grade Heavenly Birds typically had a wingspan of only three or four meters. This bird, with its wingspan of five or six meters, clearly had extraordinary innate talent.


    As before, just before the Heavenly Bird could succeed, a piercing sound broke through the air. Several foot long ice spikes shot toward it. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blocking the Heavenly Bird was the Frost Centipede, another rare ice type Spirit Beast. It was icy blue, with a ferocious head and over a dozen razor sharp legs. Its most distinctive feature was a pair of wings on its back, thin as cicada wings, giving it the ability to fly for short periods.


    According to legends, the Frost Centipede had the bloodline of the Six Winged Frost Centipede.


    In addition to these mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast, there were dozens of lower tier warrior grade Spirit Beast of various kinds. However, their chances of obtaining the bloodline fruit were minimal due to their limited strength.


    Forced by the ice spikes, the Heavenly Bird had to abandon the bloodline fruit, folding its wings and narrowly dodging the ice spikes.


    Without any prelude, all the wild Spirit Beast around the willow tree went berserk. While vying for the bloodline fruit, they also attacked each other.


    A chaotic battle was inevitable.


    Vines, earth spikes, wind blades, fireballs, and ice spikes flew in all directions, devastating the surrounding land. The grassland disappeared, replaced by large pits and ravines.

    The only exception was the willow tree bearing the bloodline fruit.


    A gentle breeze blew through, causing the tender willow branches to rustle softly.


    In the midst of mutual restraint, no one was able to seize the bloodline fruit for the moment.


    This stalemate didn''t last long. Soon, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast, sustaining only light injuries, managed to temporarily shake off the Spotted Spider''s entanglement and controlled its vine to pluck the bloodline fruit.


    At this critical juncture, the other mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast were all too occupied to intervene.


    "Thunder Zebra, target the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast, Thunder Strike!" In a split second, Blaze Regret had no choice but to take action.


    Thunder Strike was the Thunder Zebra''s specialty in long range attacks.


    Before the vine could grasp the bloodline fruit, the horns of five Thunder Zebras began to crackle with electricity, culminating in five arm thick bolts of lightning that shot toward the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast.


    Among the various elements, wind attacks are the fastest, followed by lightning.


    **Zzzap¡ª**


    Since the attack came from behind, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast had no time to react. It was struck by the five bolts of lightning, letting out a sharp, agonizing scream as its actions were interrupted.


    Although the five Thunder Zebras were not as advanced as the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast in terms of level, their numbers gave them an advantage, severely injuring the Spirit Beast.


    At that moment, the Spotted Spider leaped forward with an impressive jump, appearing in front of the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast in an instant. Its menacing mouthparts bit down hard on the Spirit Beast''s face.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 145: Chapter 145 Bloodline Fruit 5

    On the brink of death, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast retaliated, retracting all the vines that had bound the Thunder Leopard and whipping them continuously at the Spotted Spider''s back, trying to force it to retreat.


    **Whip, whip, whip¡ª**


    Unexpectedly, the Spotted Spider did not let go. Its mouthparts, now glowing green, continued to bite into the Spirit Beast while enduring the lashes, absorbing the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast''s strength.

    "Red, finish them off!" Blaze Regret wasn''t about to miss this opportunity. At his command, Red dashed forward.


    Seeing Red approach, the Spotted Spider hurriedly let go, instinctively trying to retreat. But Red was too fast, catching up in just two steps and delivering a crushing blow with its claw.


    **Boom¡ª**


    With a muffled thud, the Spotted Spider didn''t even have time to scream before its head seemed to explode. Green and red fluids splattered everywhere, and it met a swift demise.


    At the same time, just as the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast had barely managed to escape the Spotted Spider, it suddenly felt a darkness envelop it. Blaze Regret, riding his Thunder Zebra, appeared before it. Under its terrified gaze, the Thunder Zebra raised its hooves high and executed a Stomp skill.

    **Screech¡ª**


    The Thorn Flower Spirit Beast let out a despairing cry. Already on the brink of death from the Spotted Spider''s assault, it had no strength left to resist. Its beautiful, flower like head was crushed under the impact of the hooves.


    In the span of a few breaths, Blaze Regret seized the opportunity to eliminate two mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast. However, he had no time to collect their Spirit Beast cores, as the situation on the battlefield had changed once again.


    **Crack¡ª**


    Controlled by the Earth Rhino, a sharp rock spike suddenly shot up from the ground. Due to severe injuries, the Thunder Zebra leader''s speed was compromised, and it couldn''t dodge in time. The spike pierced through its belly, spilling its intestines and blood all over the ground.


    **Neigh¡ª**


    The Thunder Zebra leader struggled a few times, then weakly lifted its head. Its eyes cleared, and it gazed at the cloudless sky, letting out one final cry.


    After dispatching the Thunder Zebra leader, the Earth Rhino began to stride steadily toward the bloodline fruit. Its movements were not fast, but they were filled with an unstoppable momentum.


    **Neigh¡ª**


    With their leader dead, the other Thunder Zebras under its command raised their heads and let out a mournful cry. Despite the disparity in strength, they all charged at the Earth Rhino.


    As it ran, the Earth Rhino opened its mouth, spitting out head sized rocks like a machine gun.


    These rocks were precise and rapid, instantly killing two Thunder Zebras. Then the two sides clashed directly. The Earth Rhino, like a tiger among sheep, was unstoppable. Its defense was incredibly strong, and the bites and stomps of the Thunder Zebras couldn''t do much damage.


    On the other hand, the Earth Rhino moved as if there were no one in its path, effortlessly eliminating the Thunder Zebras. Blood splattered everywhere, creating a scene of utter carnage.


    In just a few breaths, the Earth Rhino had dispatched the remaining Thunder Zebras and appeared beneath the willow tree. Immediately, it reared up on its hind legs, aiming to devour the bloodline fruit.


    Just as the Earth Rhino was about to succeed, several Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast still engaged in battle immediately sensed something was wrong. They quickly shifted their targets and launched a fierce attack on the Earth Rhino.


    The Frost Centipede on both flanks swiftly folded its wings, and in the blink of an eye, ice blue energy converged to form two enormous ice blades, each about a meter long, slicing towards the Earth Rhino.


    Chirp~


    In the sky, the Bird of Paradise let out a loud cry, radiating a brilliant light. The dazzling rays condensed into several substantial light arrows, which shot down towards the Earth Rhino below.


    Due to the haste, both Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast used their basic skills primarily to obstruct the Earth Rhino.


    In the blink of an eye, the ice blades and light arrows appeared in front of the Earth Rhino. Surprisingly, the Earth Rhino did not dodge or activate any skills. Instead, it resisted with its body while opening its mouth to bite the Bloodline Fruit.


    Boom boom boom boom~


    A series of loud explosions erupted, and the rocky armor on the Earth Rhino''s surface was almost completely shattered. Several wounds appeared on its thick hide, but upon closer inspection, these wounds were not very deep and did not cause significant harm to the Earth Rhino.


    The rocky armor had absorbed some of the damage, and combined with the Earth Rhino''s naturally tough and thick skin, which excelled in defense, it was naturally difficult to inflict substantial injuries.


    Almost simultaneously, the Lightning Leopard pounced fiercely. Stepping onto the Earth Rhino''s back and causing it to pause, it lunged straight for the Bloodline Fruit.


    With the Lightning Leopard''s speed, it was likely to reach the Bloodline Fruit first.


    Seeing the prized fruit about to slip away, the Earth Rhino was naturally quite enraged. Earth yellow energy rapidly converged, transforming into several millstone sized rocks that furiously smashed towards the Lightning Leopard.


    Although the Earth Rhino reacted quickly, its movements were still a fraction too slow, and the Lightning Leopard was about to devour the Bloodline Fruit.


    At the critical moment, several vines suddenly burst from the ground, ensnaring the Lightning Leopard''s limbs with lightning speed.


    These vines were from one of the low tier warrior grade spirit beasts.


    Due to the chaotic battle, within just two to three minutes, more than half of the lower tier warrior grade Spirit Beast had fallen, and the remaining ones posed little threat. Among the Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast, only the Lightning Leopard, Earth Rhino, Frost Centipede, and Bird of Paradise remained.


    Due to the difference in their levels, the low tier warrior grade spirit beast vines were not tough enough to restrain the Lightning Leopard, which could easily break free. However, timing was crucial, especially since the Lightning Leopard had become the focus of concentrated attacks.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 146: Chapter 146 Got The Bloodline Fruit

    Thus, by the time the Lightning Leopard broke free from the vines, several millstone sized rocks had already smashed into it head on.


    Awooo~


    With a heart wrenching scream, the Lightning Leopard was heavily struck down to the ground.


    Before the Lightning Leopard could stand up again, the onslaught from the Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede arrived, completely engulfing it.


    By the time the dazzling lights faded, the Lightning Leopard lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.


    The Lightning Leopard was dead!


    After finishing off the Lightning Leopard, the Earth Rhino once again moved towards the Bloodline Fruit.


    "Red, go!" At this crucial moment, Blaze Regret decided to reveal his final strategy. Under his command, Red sprinted gracefully towards the Bloodline Fruit as well.


    Blaze Regret was left with no choice. He had hoped for the Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast to continue fighting among themselves, but the Bloodline Fruit''s effective time was limited. Prolonging the battle would inevitably weaken its efficacy. Discover exclusive content at m,v l''-NovelFire.net


    Suddenly, the ground beneath the Earth Rhino cracked, and the next moment, the Earth Rhino felt the ground give way beneath its feet, causing it to fall into a several meter deep pit.


    As it turned out, a mid level tier warrior grade Drill Rat was hidding all along and had long prepared for this moment, waiting beneath the willow tree. The moment Earth Rhino near the Bloodline fruit again, it triggered the trap instantly.


    At this moment, the mid tier warrior grade Drill Rat emerged from underground, its limbs glowing bright yellow, continuously channeling energy into the earth. The mid tier warrior grade Drill Rat is one of the temporary contract spirit beast that Master Magi ask to contract when their search the battlefield, accidently meet it and Master Magi use it power to make it submit.


    In just an instant, the surrounding ground transformed, rapidly turning into sand and slowly rotating, trapping the Earth Rhino and several lower tier warrior grade Spirit Beast within the quicksand.


    Within the spinning quicksand, the Earth Rhino''s movements were visibly hindered. It was too heavy and too clumsy; even with strenuous struggles, it couldn''t break free from the quicksand''s grip in a short time.


    Meanwhile, Red stepped on the Earth Rhino''s head and used the momentum to leap towards the Bloodline Fruit, ready to bite it.


    The Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede naturally did not want Red to succeed, so they jointly launched a close range assault on Red.


    From the sky, the Bird of Paradise dove down, its sharp beak gleaming with a cold light, its body spinning violently as it aimed to peck at Red''s waist.


    On the other side, the Frost Centipede flapped its wings and opened its menacing jaws, revealing fangs that emitted a chilling glow, ready to bite Red from the other side.


    At this critical moment, a sun flame wall appeared right and left Red''s side, as if protect Red from enemy attack.


    Both the Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede were somewhat hindered by the sun flame wall during their attacks, causing a noticeable decrease in their force.


    However, they were still Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast. Despite Blaze Regret''s use his spirit technique as hard as he can, the sun flame wall could only moderately mitigate their offensive due to the level difference.


    Even so, thanks to the sun flame wall, Red did not suffer severe injuries from their combined assault, only sustaining moderate wounds.


    Without any hesitation, Red opened its mouth wide and bit off the Bloodline Fruit from the branch. Its throat visibly moved as it swallowed the fruit.


    The moment it swallowed, the Bloodline Fruit''s effects rapidly kicked in. Red''s body began to swell quickly, with muscles bulging beneath its fur, as if worms were wriggling continuously underneath.


    The excruciating pain that penetrated to its bones caused Red''s eyes to fill with bloodshot lines. The energy of the Bloodline Fruit was too violent, forcing Red to lie weakly on the ground, temporarily losing its ability to move.


    Alright, Red was now out of energy!


    Chirp~ Squeak~


    After Red swallowed the Bloodline Fruit, the Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede became infuriated and launched another fierce assault on Red.


    Before Red could fully digest the Bloodline Fruit''s energy, its flesh and blood were naturally infused with the fruit''s power. The attackers could still eat Red''s flesh, which, while less effective than the fruit itself, was better than nothing.


    Moreover, Red had snatched the fruit from under their noses, making it a prime target for their wrath.


    Unfortunately, before their attacks could land, Red transformed into a streak of purple light, rapidly flying towards Blaze Regret and disappearing the moment it made contact with him.


    It turned out that Blaze Regret had been prepared to recall Red all along.


    "Thunder Zebra, Lightning Strike!" As soon as Red was recalled, Blaze Regret issued another attack command.


    Under Blaze Regret''s direction, the horns of the five Thunder Zebras crackled with intense electricity, which then transformed into five golden bolts of lightning, all shooting towards the Bird of Paradise.


    Compared to the Frost Centipede, the Bird of Paradise posed a greater threat.


    The Bird of Paradise reacted swiftly. Instead of hastily dodging, it opened its mouth and shot out a bright beam of light. Its head began to swivel, causing the beam to move and collide successively with the five bolts of lightning.


    Boom boom boom~


    Amidst the continuous thunderous sounds, the light beam eventually neutralized the five bolts of lightning.


    "Thunder Zebras, charge!" Recognizing the unfavorable situation, Blaze Regret had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation and immediately opted for a strategic retreat.


    As they retreated, the Drill Rat leapt up and landed on the back of one of the Thunder Zebras.


    Clop clop~


    The five Thunder Zebras quickly turned around, their hooves pounding the ground as they swiftly galloped out of the valley.


    Although there were only five Thunder Zebras, their collective charge was so powerful that unless they faced a heavy weight mid tier warrior grade Spirit beast like an Earth Rhino, most would have to avoid them.

 Chapter 147: Chapter 147 The Poor Frost Centipede

    Some wild Spirit beasts, quick to sense danger, swiftly dodged out of the way. Those foolish enough to resist were all sent flying, and the unlucky ones were trampled to death.


    Discover exclusive tales on m,v l''e-NovelFire.net


    "The Spirit beast that consumed the Bloodline Fruit will only have five minutes to transform. I hope Red will succeed!" During his escape, Blaze Regret thought to himself. He could only leave Red''s fate to chance.


    The most critical issue now was how to shake off the pursuing wild Spirit beasts.


    After Red was recalled by Blaze Regret, the Paradise Bird, Frost Centipede, and Earth Rhino all became extremely enraged. United by a common enemy, they all chased after Blaze Regret.


    Once out of the quicksand area, the Earth Rhino, with its heavy steps, charged headfirst towards Blaze Regret.


    Not far away, the slender body of the Frost Centipede landed on the ground. Its dozen blade like legs moved quickly, slithering like a snake. Due to its insufficiently sturdy wings, its flying speed was slower than its crawling speed.


    Chirp¡ª


    In the sky, the Paradise Bird let out a resonant cry, flapping its enormous snow white wings. Like an arrow released from a bowstring, it quickly closed the distance between itself and Blaze Regret.


    In terms of speed, the Paradise Bird was the fastest, followed by the Frost Centipede, while the cumbersome Earth Rhino naturally lagged behind.


    However, due to its higher rank, the Earth Rhino was not much slower than the Thunder Zebras, still able to keep a close chase and not be quickly shaken off.


    As the Paradise Bird rapidly closed the distance with Blaze Regret, it was about to enter its long range attack range.


    "All Thunder Zebras, Volt Charge!" Like Thunder Strike, Volt Charge was a skill the Thunder Zebras excelled at.


    Both were acceleration skills, but unlike the Wind Skill, Volt Charge only lasted a few seconds and could deal damage to enemies.


    On the ground, the five Thunder Zebras moved in unison, golden currents quickly enveloping their bodies. This negated wind resistance and rapidly increased their burst speed.


    Due to the contract, these currents did not harm Blaze Regret and the Drill Rat, causing at most a tingly sensation.


    In the next moment, the speed of the five Thunder Zebras clearly ramped up, and they quickly charged towards the valley entrance.


    In a few seconds, the currents on the five Thunder Zebras'' bodies dissipated. The duration of Volt Charge was limited, but within that time, they had almost reached the valley entrance.


    Since the valley entrance was narrow, under Blaze Regret''s command, the five Thunder Zebras lined up in single file, charging towards the entrance one after another.


    In the sky, the Paradise Bird seized the opportunity to close the distance and immediately launched a long range attack.


    The Paradise Bird''s body glowed brightly, a blinding light converging to form a giant flaming sword about ten feet long, slashing diagonally down towards Blaze Regret.


    "Drill Rat, Earth Wave!" Blaze Regret, always wary of the Paradise Bird, reacted immediately after its attack.


    On the back of another Thunder Zebra, the Drill Rat clutched the mane while opening its mouth. Countless earth colored light spots gathered, transforming into a torrent of earth element energy, which collided with the flaming sword in the blink of an eye.


    Unfortunately, even though the Drill Rat gave its all, the energy torrent was still suppressed by the light sword, which continued to slash downward.


    Unlike the Drill Rat, which just a early mid tier warrior grade Spirit beast, the Paradise Bird surpassed it in both rank and species. Suppressing the Drill Rat was an easy task for the Paradise Bird.


    However, thanks to the resistance from the Earth Wave, the speed at which the flaming giant sword descended was significantly reduced. The Thunder Zebras, always moving at high speed, eventually caused the flaming giant sword to miss and strike the ground hard.


    Boom¡ª


    With a resounding noise, dirt flew in all directions, leaving a several meter long crack in the ground. At this moment, the five Thunder Zebras began passing through the valley entrance. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Follow my command, jump!" When they first entered the valley, Blaze Regret had set up some traps.


    Under Blaze Regret''s direction, the five Thunder Zebras began to jump at the same spot. After running a few meters, they jumped again, repeating the process.


    Soon, the five Thunder Zebras had rushed out of the valley entrance.


    During this process, the Drill Rat continuously used long range skills, not giving the Paradise Bird a chance to launch another attack.


    However, once they left the valley entrance, the Paradise Bird caught up once more. This time, Blaze Regret decided not to flee but to fight while retreating.


    Even though the Paradise Bird was stronger, it couldn''t gain an advantage against the combined efforts of the Drill Rat, and the five Thunder Zebras. In fact, it ended up in a somewhat embarrassing situation.


    Yet, under the Paradise Bird''s persistent harassment, Blaze Regret''s escape speed was noticeably affected. Soon, the Frost Centipede also reached the valley entrance.


    Bang¡ª


    The Frost Centipede continued forward and inevitably stepped into a trap, tumbling into a several meter deep pit.


    Before the Frost Centipede could climb out, the Earth Rhino, following closely behind, failed to stop in time and also fell heavily into the pit.


    The Frost Centipede felt an impending darkness. Seeing the Earth Rhino, it instinctively tried to dodge, but the trap was small, and there wasn''t enough room for the massive Earth Rhino.


    Bang¡ª


    Accompanied by a dull thud, the Frost Centipede was crushed to the ground by the Earth Rhino. It felt pain in every part of its body. Angrily and instinctively, it lifted its head and bit the Earth Rhino''s rear, injecting venom in the process.


    Suddenly stung by the Frost Centipede, the Earth Rhino was infuriated. It immediately stood up on its hind legs, with a dense, earthy yellow energy emanating from its forelimbs, and stomped down forcefully.


    Boom¡ª

 Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Transformation Complete 1(Bonus)

    In the narrow trap, the Frost Centipede had no way to dodge. Additionally, its tail was pinned down by the Earth Rhino, preventing it from leveraging its advantages. The Earth Rhino''s mighty stomp struck the vital spot on the Frost Centipede''s head.


    Known for its brute strength and enormous weight, the Earth Rhino''s stomp was devastating. The Frost Centipede''s head was instantly crushed, splattering blue and green fluids everywhere, much like a watermelon bursting.


    Simultaneously, the surrounding ground shook violently, revealing the remaining traps.


    After ''instant. killing'' the Frost Centipede, the Earth Rhino shook its head vigorously and climbed out of the trap. Spotting the exposed traps ahead, it began to leap over them.


    Not long after, due to the persistent harassment by the Paradise Bird, Blaze Regret''s speed slowed significantly, allowing the Earth Rhino to catch up quickly.


    "Damn it!" Blaze Regret thought, realizing the dire situation. He could barely contend with just the Paradise Bird, but with the addition of the Earth Rhino, the odds of survival were slim.


    Blaze Regret''s mind raced, desperately searching for a way to escape. However, human abilities have their limits, and he couldn''t come up with a solution in time.


    Under their relentless assault, Blaze Regret faced grave danger. During an attempted dodge, he fell off the horse, feeling dizzy and disoriented. His internal organs were severely shaken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, almost losing his ability to move.


    Chirp~


    Compared to the clumsy Earth Rhino, the Paradise Bird was noticeably faster. Seizing the opportunity, it swooped down from the sky, aiming its sharp beak at Blaze Regret''s head.


    If the Paradise Bird struck Blaze Regret head on, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    In a moment of crisis, Drill Rat disregarded it own safety and resolutely stood in front of Blaze Regret.


    In a flash, the Paradise Bird appeared above Blaze Regret. To protect Blaze Regret, Drill Rat made no evasive actions, about to be struck head on by the Paradise Bird.


    Given their difference in power, Drill Rat would likely be killed instantly.


    "How dare you!" Blaze Regret''s eyes were filled with intense anger. His expression was ferocious as he struggled to rise from the ground, despite the severe pain in his internal organs, the unbearable pain in his back, and his dislocated left hand, driven by sheer willpower.


    Roar~


    At the critical moment, Blaze Regret let out a low roar and lunged towards Drill Rat with all his remaining strength, attempting to push it away. Even thought it just a temporary contract. Blaze Regret did''n want any of his spirit beast to die.


    At the same time, witnessing the scene before it, a human like emotion appeared in the Paradise Bird''s blood red eyes. It was called the Paradise Bird not only because of its appearance and healing abilities but also because of its gentle nature.


    The Paradise Bird''s temperament was extremely mild. Not only would it not actively attack humans or Spirit beast, but it would also often provide healing to injured humans or Spirit beast it encountered.


    However, for the Spirit beast, the Bloodline Fruit was incredibly important. After Red consumed it, the Paradise Bird was almost consumed by rage, which is why it pursued Blaze Regret.


    Perhaps moved by something, the Paradise Bird turned its head voluntarily, narrowly avoiding both Drill Rat and Blaze Regret with its sharp beak.


    Even so, Blaze Regret was still struck head on by the Paradise Bird and sent flying. After a short distance, he landed awkwardly in the bushes. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret felt pain all over his body, and his head was spinning, making him feel like he could faint at any moment. But he had to stay conscious; otherwise, he would lose any chance of turning the tide in his favor.


    To stay awake, Blaze Regret bit his tongue hard. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his foggy mind cleared considerably.


    At that moment, a shadow loomed over Blaze Regret. The Paradise Bird stood before him, looking down at the human, radiating light, seemingly unwilling to let him go.


    On the other side, the Earth Rhino rampaged through the area. Despite the combined efforts of the five Thunder Zebras, they couldn''t stop it.


    Under the Paradise Bird''s focus, a massive sword of light and flame began to form.


    If Blaze Regret were struck by this sword, his fate would be dire.


    At this critical moment, Blaze Regret suddenly received a piece of information. A smile appeared in his eyes, and without hesitation, he quickly mouthed some words.


    In an instant, a large Flame hexagram appeared.


    Roar~


    Accompanied by a fearsome roar, a gust of fierce wind swept through the surroundings, rustling the branches and leaves. Countless leaves fell to the ground.


    In the blink of an eye, Red appeared before Blaze Regret. Her enormous form exuded a commanding presence, filled with an intimidating aura.


    Compared to before, Red''s size had significantly increased, with its fur becoming even thicker and its body length reaching over three meters.


    Additionally, its tail were much longer than before, it also grow another tail to become two tail, each at least ten centimeters long. Even with its mouth closed, giving it an extremely menacing appearance.


    Under the transformation of the Bloodline Fruit, Red successfully evolved. The most significant change was its species, evolving from a Blue Flame Demon Cat to a Two tail Demon Fire Cat, achieving a massive leap in its racial classification.


    These numerous changes had drastically enhanced Red''s strength, resulting in a significant power boost.


    As Red roared angrily, the Paradise Bird, like a startled bird, trembled uncontrollably. However, it still controlled the fiery greatsword, aiming it at Blaze Regret.


    Without any hesitation, Red leaped high into the air, its mouth wide open. Its two tail clamped onto the fiery greatsword. Despite the Paradise Bird''s best efforts to control it, the sword trembled violently but couldn''t break free.

    When the light faded, Blaze Regret and Red were protected by a Sun Flame wall, completely unharmed.


    Seeing this, the Paradise Bird was terrified and extremely uneasy. It spread its wings, attempting to take flight.


    Once in the sky, the Paradise Bird could attack or escape, utilizing its aerial advantage to bombard Red from above.


    "Red, Flame Claw!" At that moment, Red leapt up, extending her sharp claws from her paw pads and slashing fiercely at the Paradise Bird.


    Boom~ Crack~


    With enormous force, the Paradise Bird was sent flying like a white blur, crashing into a massive tree that required several people to encircle. It stuck to the tree like a painting on a wall, then slowly slid down.


    Knocking the bird down like hanging a painting!


    With just one strike, the Paradise Bird''s bones shattered, and its elegant appearance was reduced to a pitiful state, far from its former grandeur.


    In the next moment, under the terrified gaze of the Paradise Bird, Red leapt high, her mouth wide open, revealing it sharp fangs aimed at the bird''s slender neck.


    Suddenly, as if remembering something, Blaze Regret shouted loudly, "Red, spare the bird!"


    At Blaze Regret''s command, Red halted her attack just in time, Red white fangs stopping right at the Paradise Bird''s slender neck.


    The Paradise Bird was extremely frightened. In that instant, it felt the breath of death. If not for Blaze Regret''s timely intervention, it would have certainly lost its life!


    Without needing Blaze Regret''s warning, the Paradise Bird had no choice but to lie on the ground and accept its fate of enslavement in order to save its life.


    After Red defeated the Paradise Bird, the nearby Earth Rhino sensed something was wrong. It immediately broke free from the entanglements of the five Thunder Zebra and fled without looking back.


    "Red, take it down!" Unlike the Paradise Bird, the Earth Rhino was of lower quality, and Blaze Regret had no interest in it.


    Moreover, after being relentlessly hunted, he and his Spirit beasts needed an outlet for their anger, and the Earth Rhino was the perfect target.


    Under Blaze Regret''s command, Red quickly charged forward. Compared to before its bloodline evolution, its speed had greatly increased, far surpassing the clumsy Earth Rhino.


    While Red was in pursuit, Blaze Regret called back the Drill Mouse and three Thunder Zebras to surround the Paradise Bird. Any sign of resistance from the Paradise Bird would result in a fatal blow.


    During the recent battle, two of the Thunder Zebras had been severely injured while trying to contain the Earth Rhino. They were now lying on the ground, unable to move.


    Within a few breaths, Red caught up with the Earth Rhino. Its claws, enveloped in blue flame, struck with a powerful flame Claw.


    Sensing the danger from behind, the Earth Rhino''s body immediately shimmered with a bright yellow light, forming a layer of rocky armor that encased it completely.


    Boom¡ª


    A dull sound echoed as Red''s claws struck the rocky armor. Countless rock fragments flew in all directions. After a brief pause, the flame Claw easily broke through the rocky armor''s defense and landed heavily on the Earth Rhino''s back.


    Despite its tough hide, the Earth Rhino was left with several deep gashes, and blood spurted out in torrents.


    The Earth Rhino did not look back; instead, it ran even faster. The rocky armor had absorbed most of the blow, significantly reducing the damage inflicted by flame Claw.

    Red let out a ferocious roar. spreading its paws. On one paw, gathering countless fire attribute energies, which transformed into a fire spike Ring several feet long, shooting towards the Earth Rhino.


    The fire spike ring moved extremely fast, turning into a cyan streak. The Earth Rhino, focused solely on escaping, had no time to react and was hit by the fire spike ring.

    The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh echoed. The wind blade precisely struck the existing wound, deepening it. Blood spurted out, revealing a gash so deep that bone was visible.

    This time, the Earth Rhino could no longer hold back and let out a miserable scream. Its legs gave way, and it collapsed heavily to the ground.


    However, the Earth Rhino was known for its tough hide and enduring stamina. It had not lost its fighting ability and struggled to get back up.


    Unfortunately, Red had no intention of letting it go. In the Earth Rhino''s terrified gaze, Red wrapped its forelimbs around the Earth Rhino''s head. Its mouth opened wide, revealing it sharp fangs, ready to pierce the Earth Rhino''s neck.


    The Earth Rhino struggled desperately, trying to shake Red off, but it was already at the end of its strength and could not succeed.


    In the next moment, the sharp fangs easily tore through the Earth Rhino''s proud defense, deeply piercing its neck and severing its carotid artery in an instant.


    Blood spurted out in torrents, and the Earth Rhino could no longer endure. Its limbs twitched violently a few times before it lay still, lifeless.


    Seeing the tragic fate of the Earth Rhino, the Paradise Bird seemed to empathize deeply. It no longer thought of escaping; instead, it quickly closed its eyes and lay on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.


    Soon, after eating a healing pill, Blaze Regret barely regained the ability to move. He immediately embraced Drill Rat tightly.


    "Drill Rat, you mustn''t do this again!" Blaze Regret''s face was stern, but his heart was filled with lingering fear. Eventhought the Drill Rat just a temporary contarct, it also count as his spirit beast. If Red hadn''t evolved in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

    "The Paradise Bird seems to be dead, and everyone is hungry. We might as well roast it and see if its meat is tasty," Blaze Regret said, kicking the Paradise Bird. Seeing it continue to play dead, he issued a threat.


    Under Blaze Regret''s threat, the Paradise Bird had no choice but to open its eyes, showing a pitiful expression that seemed to say, "I''m still alive, don''t roast me."


    "Paradise Bird, you should feel fortunate for your actions back then. If anything had happened to Drill Rat, you would already be a dead bird!" Blaze Regret said, looking down at the Paradise Bird. "If you want to live, open your mind and establish a temporary contract with me!"


    From its characteristics, the Paradise Bird was an all rounder Spirit Beast, capable of healing, support, attack, and defense. Additionally, it could serve as a flying mount.


    The Paradise Bird hesitated. On one side was death, and on the other was freedom. This made it indecisive, unable to make a decision quickly.


    Of course, this also had to do with Blaze Regret''s low rank as a spirit master.


    Seeing the Paradise Bird''s hesitation, Blaze Regret continued to gently persuade it, "Don''t worry. As long as you sign a contract with me, I will do my best to help you advance to a higher rank, even to an elite level Spirit Beast. This is my promise!"


    The elite level is the next stage after the high rank Spirit Beast.


    Due to the difference in rank, for Blaze Regret to contract with a mid level Spirit beast, the other party must willingly open its mind. Otherwise, no matter how many temporary contracts he attempts, it would be futile.


    Moreover, given the Paradise Bird''s quality, it wouldn''t be difficult to become an high rank Spirit Beast with just a little resource investment. There is even a chance it could reach elite level.


    After Blaze Regret made his promise, the Paradise Bird no longer hesitated and began to open its mind, ceasing its resistance.


    Soon, a small temporary contract mark was imprinted on the Paradise Bird''s head.


    Spirit Beast attributes are generally divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, thunder, light, and dark. Of course, there are also some fairies with special attributes, but those are very rare. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The five elemental attributes mutually generate and counteract each other. Among the other five attributes, wind counters ice, ice counters thunder, and thunder counters wind, forming a complete cycle. As for the light and dark attributes, they mutually restrain each other.


    After completing the contract, the Paradise Bird barely managed to stand up. Due to being hit by Red''s flame Claw, it was in a weakened state and needed some time to recover. Eventually, Blaze Regret placed it into the Spirit realms stone.


    "Thunder Zebras, you are free now!"


    After resting for a while, Blaze Regret kept his promise and voluntarily canceled the temporary contracts with the five Thunder Zebras. The marks on their heads quickly faded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    The five Thunder Zebras turned to Blaze Regret, showing grateful expressions. In a sense, Blaze Regret had saved their lives.


    In the next moment, the sound of hooves trampling the ground echoed. The five Thunder Zebras quickly returned to the valley together; that was their home!


    Just went Blaze Regret want to cancel the temporary contract with Drill Rat. The Drill Rat came infront Blaze Regret and show that it did''n want to cancel the contract. Blaze Regret welcome the Drill Rat into the team and put it into the spirit realms stone. When spirit beast contract using temporary contract, it did need to use portal and spirit master can not syncronise with it.


    "I''m almost out of materials for Black Flame Mud. It''s time to head back to the town."


    Gazing in the direction of Hildan Town, Blaze Regret smiled faintly.


    In Hildan Town, inside a shop.


    The store clerk responsible for trading goods stood with his mouth slightly open, staring at the four Spirit Realm Stones on the counter. His face was filled with shock.


    "Are all of these High warrior grade Spirit Beast Stone Mushroom Spirit beasts?" the clerk asked, dazed, after a while.


    Standing in front of the counter, Blaze Regret nodded indifferently.


    "One Stone Mushroom Spirit beast is about 120,000 gold coins, so four would be 480,000. This is such a large amount that I can''t make the decision. Please have a seat and wait for a moment while I get approval." The clerk''s eyes were filled with envy as he quickly picked up the four Spirit Realm Stones and walked to the back of the shop.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret nonchalantly sat down on a chair, showing no concern that the shop would cheat him out of the four Stone Mushroom Spirit beasts. Even if they did, he had ways to make them return everything. Discover more content at m,v l''e-NovelFire.net


    As Blaze Regret closed his eyes to rest, a shadowy figure suddenly walked over and stopped in front of him.


    Opening his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret saw a man with a somewhat sinister face appear before him.


    "Do you need something?" Blaze Regret''s voice was calm.


    "Are you the one who defeated Mad Bull a while ago? You don''t look that impressive," the man said, scrutinizing Blaze Regret with a faintly disdainful smile.


    Blaze Regret glanced at the man but had no intention of standing up. He continued to look at him with an indifferent gaze.


    A Sixth grade Spirit warrior was not weak among the spirit hunters in Hildan Town, but in front of Blaze Regret, he had no right to be arrogant.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s cold eyes, the man''s brow furrowed, and anger surged in his heart. Usually, those Fifth grade Spirit warrior would be courteous upon seeing him. How dare someone look at him with such an expression?


    "You"


    Just as the man was about to speak, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the shop: "The Hildan Arena has opened! It''s said that the winner will receive a large amount of rewards. Don''t miss out!"

 Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Arena Open 2

    Hearing this, the man was slightly pleased. He gave Blaze Regret a cold look and said, "My name is Ben Jamin. You''ll be hearing this name often in the future. When you see me, it''s best to walk the other way. Otherwise, I don''t mind making you experience what Mad Bull went through again."


    As Ben Jamin''s words fell, he hurriedly walked out, as if the Hildan Arena had a great allure for him.


    "Hildan Arena," Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly.


    "Sir, the goods have been verified. Please hand me your gold coin card," the clerk said, coming out from the back of the shop and looking at Blaze Regret with a face full of envy.


    That was four hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. He couldn''t earn that much in a lifetime. Who knew what kind of incredible luck this young man had to capture such rare Stone Mushroom Spirit beasts, and four of them at that.


    "Excuse me, what is the Hildan Arena?" Blaze Regret took out a Qi Replenishing Pill from his void realms stone and discreetly handed it to the clerk, asking with a smile.


    Feeling the smooth touch in his palm, the clerk''s face instantly lit up with joy. Long accustomed to dealing with goods, he could roughly guess what it was. He quickly cleared his throat to cover his excitement.


    "The Hildan Arena is organized by the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group and is held once a month. All participants can battle in the arena, and the winner can receive the gold coins bet by the audience. Winning multiple times can also earn rewards from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group," the clerk explained enthusiastically, having received a benefit from Blaze Regret.


    "Are there no rules?" Blaze Regret nodded and continued to ask.


    "There are rules. The rank difference between challengers cannot exceed three levels, or the challenge is deemed invalid. And the battles must be one on one," the clerk quickly explained.


    Blaze Regret pondered for a moment and then smiled faintly. It sounded pretty good. Constantly fighting wild spirit beasts had limited benefits. This Hildan Arena seemed quite suitable for him. Explore more stories at m,v l''-NovelFire.net


    Thanking the clerk, Blaze Regret walked out of the shop. Numerous figures passed in front of him, all heading in the same direction. It was obvious that they were going to the Hildan Arena.


    Stuffing a piece of dried meat into Red''s mouth, Blaze Regret followed the crowd, walking slowly.


    The Hildan Arena was a semi enclosed venue with a large high platform in the center. Countless spirit hunters surrounded the platform, watching the two battling individuals with excitement. Their enthusiastic cheers echoed through the sky.


    Weaving through a few figures, Blaze Regret struggled to reach the front. A casual glance revealed a burly man sitting alone next to the high platform. His eyes narrowed slightly; this man should be someone from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.


    "Big brother, who is that?" Blaze Regret asked, poking a spirit hunter standing next to him, feigning ignorance.


    "You don''t even know him? Little brother, you must be new here. That man is none other than Mon Black, the famous Third Captain of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, a bona fide ninth tier spirit warrior!" The spirit hunter explained enthusiastically.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded slightly. As expected, someone capable of organizing such a large event wouldn''t be an ordinary person.


    "Bang!"


    A dull sound rang out as a giant wolf, its body engulfed in flames, suddenly fell from the platform and crashed heavily to the ground.


    "The winner, Ceh Lin."


    A voice devoid of any emotion followed.


    The speaker was a young man with a fairly handsome face, but the cold smile that occasionally appeared at the corners of his mouth completely ruined the impression.


    "Mo Star, the son of Mon Dark, the leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Little brother, if you see him in Hildan Town, it''s best to stay away from him. His temperament is unpredictable, and you never know when he might turn hostile," the spirit hunter next to him warned, clearly displeased with Mon Star.


    "Next, who will challenge?" Mon Star scanned the figures below the platform, speaking indifferently.


    "I will!" sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A clear voice rang out as a graceful figure, carried by a whirlwind, slowly landed on the high platform. Her bright eyes, filled with a hint of battle intent, gazed at Ceh Lin, who stood with his arms crossed.


    "Yun Suhaila?" Blaze Regret was somewhat surprised, but then quickly understood.


    As a spirit hunter, Yun Suhaila''s interest in such events was only natural. He just hadn''t expected to see her take the stage right after he arrived.


    "Hehe, so it''s Miss Yue from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. You''ve become even more beautiful in the past few days," Mon Star said, his eyes burning as he looked at Yun Suhaila. His gaze carried an unsettling scrutiny that would make any woman uncomfortable, as if he wanted to strip her with his eyes.


    "Let''s begin," Yun Suhaila said, wrinkling her delicate nose, clearly disgusted by Mon Star''s behavior.


    "Miss Yue, no need to rush. The audience hasn''t placed their bets yet," Mon Star replied with a careless smile.


    Immediately, a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group moved swiftly among the crowd. Many spirit hunters pulled out some pristine, round jade tokens from their pockets and placed them in the wooden box he carried.


    In no time, the Hildan Arena became lively and bustling.


    "What are those white jade pieces?" Blaze Regret looked into the distance and curiously asked.


    "Those? They are something the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group came up with. You can exchange five hundred gold coins for one and use them to place bets," said the spirit hunter next to Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret nodded lightly upon hearing this.


    For spirit hunters without void realms stones, carrying a large amount of gold coins is extremely inconvenient, and using them for betting is even more impractical. It''s clear that the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group has put a lot of thought into making money from the Hildan Arena.

 Chapter 152: Chapter 152 Arena Open 3

    "Can I use a gold coin card as collateral?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile when a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group approached with a wooden box.


    "Of course."


    The young man with a sharp face carrying the wooden box glanced at Blaze Regret and nonchalantly said, "However, we do not accept amounts less than five hundred, and you must bet the entire amount on the gold coin card."


    With a sigh of relief, Blaze Regret took out a gold coin card from the spatial stone and handed it to the young man: "Ten thousand gold coins, bet on that girl to win."


    Upon hearing this number, the surrounding spirit hunters widened their eyes slightly and looked at Blaze Regret. Ten thousand gold coins is no small amount, even for these men who risk their lives daily. Moreover, he was betting on the side with a low chance of winning!


    "You might want to reconsider. Ceh Lin is much stronger than Yun Anuar''s daughter!" The spirit hunter who had spoken to Blaze Regret earlier hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.


    Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile and looked towards the high platform. Ten thousand gold coins were not a significant amount for him.


    "Ceh Lin versus Yun Suhaila, the odds are three to one," Mon Star whispered to the young man with the sharp face, who then smiled satisfactorily and loudly announced.


    "Miss Yue, you should give up. With your strength, you cannot defeat me," Ceh Lin said with a faint smile as he gazed at Yun Suhaila. As a fourth tier spirit warrior, he naturally didn''t take Yun Suhaila''s third tier Wind Scythe Bird seriously.


    "Please instruct me," Yun Suhaila replied.


    Yun Suhaila didn''t waste any time. With a soft cry, her Wind Scythe Bird flashed into appearance, gently flapping its wings, and the pair of sharp wind scythes on its head instantly drew attention.


    "Then don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    The smile on Ceh Lin''s face gradually faded. Black mist erupted from his summoning array, and within that black fog, a sharp screech echoed throughout the arena.


    "Dark attribute," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time he had seen a living dark attribute spirit beast.


    As the black fog dispersed, a bat shaped spirit beast emerged, rapidly flapping its black wings, its body undulating, and a faint black mist swirling around its wings.


    "Great Night Bat, a mid level warrior grade spirit beast, similar in rank to the Wind Scythe Bird, but with a higher tier," Blaze Regret''s thoughts raced. He was eager to know what trump card Yun Suhaila had to defeat Ceh Lin''s fourth tier Great Night Bat.


    "Wind Scythe Bird, Blue Blade Light!"


    At Yun Suhaila''s cry, the sharp scythes of the Wind Scythe Bird glowed blue. It circled once and then headed straight for the Great Night Bat.


    Seeing the rapidly approaching Wind Scythe Bird, the Great Night Bat turned its body, folded its wings, and dodged the deadly attack at the last possible moment.

    Its small, bean sized eyes narrowed slightly, and with a swish, the Great Night Bat spread its wings. Although they appeared soft, the wings became as hard as iron, gleaming with a metallic sheen.


    After a brief separation, the two spirit beasts clashed again. The bat wings collided with the wind scythes, producing blinding sparks and a clear, metallic clang that echoed through the sky.


    "The Wind Scythe Bird is being suppressed."


    Many spirit hunters shook their heads slightly. Yun Suhaila''s Wind Scythe Bird was clearly at a disadvantage. Although it hadn''t been injured yet, it was consistently being overpowered by the Great Night Bat. The blue glow on its sharp scythes was visibly dimming.


    "Snap!"


    After several collisions, the Great Night Bat finally seized an opportunity. Its vibrating right wing, sharp as a blade, sliced harshly across the body of the Wind Scythe Bird.


    With a piercing screech, the Wind Scythe Bird was sent flying backward, frantically flapping its wings. It barely managed to stop just before falling off the elevated platform.


    "It''s over," Ceh Lin said with a smug smile.


    The Great Night Bat flapped its wings vigorously again, its speed even more ferocious than before. Its outstretched dark wings seemed to cut through the air, leaving two long black trails behind.


    The Great Night Bat charged like a bolt of lightning, reaching the Wind Scythe Bird in an instant. It swung its right wing fiercely.


    But just then, the Wind Scythe Bird suddenly seemed to give up all resistance, spreading its wings wide and exposing its soft underbelly.


    Seeing this, Ceh Lin didn''t feel excited. Instead, his heart skipped a beat. Yun Suhaila wasn''t foolish; she wouldn''t take such a risk without having a plan to counter the consequences.


    Yun Suhaila''s lips curled into a slight smile, and her cold voice rang out suddenly, "Wind Scythe Bird, Wind Fragment Assault!" sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Chirp!"


    The Wind Scythe Bird let out a soft cry. From the tips of its wings, sharp threads shot out rapidly, like a shower of petals from the sky, enveloping the Great Night Bat.


    Those transparent threads were almost tangible, each one capable of piercing through the body of a third tier spirit beast.


    "Swish!"


    Without any surprise, the Great Night Bat''s wings, after resisting a few threads, could no longer bear the assault. The dense threads penetrated through, leaving its wings riddled with holes, like tattered cloth.


    With its technique completed, the Wind Scythe Bird flashed forward. Its sharp scythes were now poised at the Great Night Bat''s neck, ready to decapitate it with just a slight movement.


    "You''ve lost," Yun Suhaila glanced at Ceh Lin and said calmly.


    Below the platform, Blaze Regret smiled slightly. So this was Yun Suhaila''s trump card, Wind Fragment Assault, an advanced warrior level spirit technique. Indeed, it had a fair chance of defeating the fourth tier Great Night Bat.


    "How could I lose? The one who lost is you!" Ceh Lin''s voice suddenly took on a sinister tone.

 Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Arena Open 4

    Upon hearing this, Yun Suhaila''s delicate brows knitted slightly, and her charming face changed. The Great Night Bat, which had previously dared not move, seized the moment when Yun Suhaila was distracted. Its sharp claws spread open, and as black mist condensed, it transformed into a black seal that mercilessly struck the Wind Scythe Bird''s chest.


    Instantly, the Wind Scythe Bird, trailing a spray of blood, plummeted to the ground like a lightning bolt. A wave of dust and air surged out from where it landed.


    "Despicable!" cursed the spirit hunter beside Blaze Regret. If Yun Suhaila hadn''t held back earlier, Ceh Lin''s Great Night Bat would have already perished under the Wind Fragment Assault. Yet, instead of being grateful, he repaid kindness with treachery. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a sinister gaze, the Great Night Bat let out a screech and shot down like a meteor, its target being the immobile Wind Scythe Bird.


    Seeing the Great Night Bat descending to kill the Wind Scythe Bird, Yun Suhaila''s hands turned cold, darkness filled her vision, and her body uncontrollably fell backward.


    The Wind Scythe Bird had been with her since she first gained spiritual awareness; their bond was naturally beyond words.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just then, a black figure suddenly leaped onto the platform and gently caught Yun Suhaila. His gaze fixed intently on the plummeting Great Night Bat, his voice filled with icy determination.


    "Red, tear it apart!"


    "Red, tear it apart!"


    Blaze Regret''s cold voice echoed, and Red swiftly leaped from his shoulder, its body expanding. The aura of the Two tail Demon Flame Cat was unmistakable as it slashed its claws towards the Great Night Bat.


    "How dare you!"


    Just as the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was about to tear the Great Night Bat apart, Mon Black, sitting below the stage, flashed a cold look. A golden blade of light whistled from his side, slashing towards Red like lightning.


    Red''s figure flickered, and with a clang, the golden blade embedded itself into the stone platform.


    "Do you know where you are? How dare you cause trouble here!" Mon Black''s icy gaze fixed on Blaze Regret as he spoke in a chilling tone.


    "Are you alright?"


    Ignoring Mon Black''s sinister voice, Blaze Regret softly asked Yun Suhaila, who had turned pale.


    With a wave of her delicate hand, a summoning array appeared, retrieving the severely injured Wind Scythe Bird. Yun Suhaila''s pale cheeks showed a hint of bitterness.


    "Why are you here?" Yun Suhaila asked softly, feeling an inexplicable sense of reassurance from the boy''s unique scent.


    "I''ve been here all along. You did very well."


    Blaze Regret took out a Qi Recovery Pill from his spatial stone and gently placed it in Yun Suhaila''s palm, his voice soft: "Leave the rest to me."


    Yun Suhaila nodded slightly, a blush spreading across her cheeks.


    Seeing this, Mon Star''s eyes turned cold. In his heart, Yun Suhaila had long been his possession, and seeing her in someone else''s arms was intolerable. At this moment, Blaze Regret had already been sentenced to death in his mind.


    "Which spirit hunting group are you from? Do you understand the rules, or do you not regard our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group at all?" Mon Black''s anger surged as he saw Blaze Regret''s dismissive attitude. In Hildan Town, no one had ever dared to show him such disrespect.


    "Heh, Chief Mon is truly fair and just, not holding Ceh Li accountable but instead coming after me first. Admirable, truly admirable." Blaze Regret sneered. When Ceh Li broke the rules, this old man didn''t lift a finger. Now he was acting all official and businesslike, which was truly revolting.


    Mon Black''s face turned as cold as frost upon hearing this. His grip on the armrest of his chair tightened, leaving a deep imprint.


    "Which spirit hunting group are you from?" Mon Star''s eyes were dark as he looked at Blaze Regret, his voice filled with murderous intent.


    "Lone spirit master," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "Very well," Mon Star''s lips curled into a sinister smile. The moment he stepped off the stage, Blaze Regret''s death was assured!


    Witnessing this scene, the spirit hunters below looked at each other in confusion. Although some were displeased with the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group''s actions, the thought of Mon Dark being a spirit master made them promptly shut their mouths.


    "It seems that the Hildan Arena is just like this. Fairness and justice are nothing but jokes." Blaze Regret looked around and said with a leisurely smile.


    Seeing many spirit hunters whispering to each other, Mon Black grew anxious. If this matter was allowed to escalate, there would be no need to open the Hildan Arena in the future!


    Under normal circumstances, he would never have done such a thing. However, Ceh Li on the stage was his illegitimate son!


    No one in Hildan Town knew this except him, so in a moment of urgency, he couldn''t help but intervene.

    "You actually attacked from behind, how despicable!" Ceh Li naturally knew what Mon Black was thinking, so he quickly looked at Blaze Regret and righteously changed the topic.


    "How thick is your skin?" Blaze Regret looked at Ceh Li, speechless.


    The Great Night Bat was still standing there, and it was even in the same posture as when it had ambushed the Wind Scythe Bird. This counter accusation was utterly devoid of intelligence.


    The spirit hunters below burst into laughter, their disdainful gazes gathering on Ceh Li.


    "If you hadn''t ambushed me, you wouldn''t even touch a hair on my Great Night Bat." Ceh Li''s face flushed red with anger as he looked at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with killing intent. It was all because of this guy that he was so humiliated!


    "Chief Mon, the Hildan Arena is open to everyone, right?" Blaze Regret turned to Mon Black and asked with a light smile.


    Seeing this, Mon Black nodded, but a sudden uneasy feeling rose in his heart.


    "Good."


    Blaze Regret nodded with a faint smile, but his expression quickly turned serious.

 Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Join The Arena 1

    "Swish!"


    In a flash of purple light, Red darted out like lightning. But instead of heading towards the Great Night Bat, it aimed for the now panicked Ceh Li!


    "Great Night Bat, Shadow Curse Mark!" Ceh Li shouted frantically.


    The Great Night Bat, with its damaged wings, could no longer fly at high altitudes, but its speed across the stone platform was still incredibly fast. Black spiritual energy surged in its claws, forming a black curse mark the same one used earlier to ambush the Wind Scythe Bird.


    The Great Night Bat, clutching the curse mark in its claws, positioned itself in front of Ceh Li and launched the attack at Red.


    "No!" Mon Dark was utterly shocked. Ceh Li''s abilities were not sufficient to sense Red''s true power, but Mon Dark knew very well that Red had the capability to instantly kill the Great Night Bat!


    "Crack!"


    There was no trace of blue flames on Red''s sharp claws, yet with a light swipe, it instantly pierced through the Great Night Bat''s Shadow Curse Mark. The claws then penetrated its abdomen and struck Ceh Li''s chest.


    A low groan escaped from Ceh Li''s throat as the hastily formed Shadow Shield was effortlessly torn apart by Red''s claws. His body flew backward, crashing hard onto the ground. Blood, mixed with several teeth, spewed out from his mouth.


    "My spirit portal..."


    Feeling the emptiness of his spiritual power, Ceh Li roared at Blaze Regret, "What kind of grudge do I have with you that you would destroy my spirit portal!"


    Hearing his shout, the spirit hunters around the high platform were in an uproar. Their gazes toward Blaze Regret now carried a mix of fear and respect. Although Ceh Li''s strength wasn''t the highest, it was by no means weak. To cripple his spirit portal in an instant was no simple feat.


    Mon Black, seated in his chair, had a slight tremor in his hands. His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, which he struggled to suppress. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Then what grudge does Yun Suhaila have with you, that you wanted to kill her spirit beast?" Blaze Regret stood on the high platform, his eyes piercing as he stared down Ceh Li.

    "It''s just a beast. So what if it dies? How can that compare to my spirit portal!" Ceh Li bellowed, looking as if he wanted to tear Blaze Regret apart.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret shook his head slightly. If anything happened to Red or the Ice Control Irenix, he would undoubtedly pursue revenge with all his might, as he valued their lives more than his own.


    "I do not feel the slightest remorse for crippling your spirit portal because you are unworthy of being a spirit master."


    Blaze Regret''s cold voice echoed across the platform, rendering the atmosphere silent.


    Ceh Li''s face turned ashen upon hearing Blaze Regret''s words. From this moment on, he was nothing but a cripple.


    Yun Suhaila''s eyes flickered as she gazed at the tall, slender figure on the platform, a ripple spreading in her heart.


    "I''m really sorry, I didn''t give you time to place your bet before taking him down." Blaze Regret glanced at Mon Star with a hint of a smile.


    "It''s fine, there''s still a second match." Mon Star was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, a smile filled with intense killing intent.


    He originally thought that this kid would step down after this match. Unexpectedly, he was this foolish. Doesn''t he know that this Hildan Arena is run by the Draconic Hunting Spirit Group?


    On this Hildan Arena, as long as Mon Star wanted, there were countless ways to kill the person on stage.


    "Let''s begin then." Mon Star grinned, his gaze sharp as a knife.


    "No rush. This is my first time at the Hildan Arena. What are the rewards for consecutive wins?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile. He was quite interested in the treasures of the Hildan Arena.


    "Brother Blaze, you seem a bit too confident in yourself." A trace of contempt flashed in Mon Star''s eyes. Did he really think he could win consecutively without measuring his own weight?


    "Winning one match earns you ten thousand gold coins, two matches twenty thousand, three matches thirty thousand, and so on. Besides gold coins, there are also physical rewards. After seven consecutive wins, the victor can choose a spirit crystal that matches their attribute. After ten consecutive wins, they can choose an attack type spirit technique.


    Of course, due to limited resources, only fire, ice, and wood attributes are available."


    Even though Mon Star looked down on Blaze Regret, he still patiently explained.


    "A spirit technique, huh." Blaze Regret''s interest was piqued. Gold coins and spirit crystals no longer interested him, but spirit techniques were extremely rare. There was no place in this small town where spirit techniques were sold.


    "Alright, let''s start." Blaze Regret nodded at Mon Star with a smile.


    "I''ll go!"


    As soon as Blaze Regret''s voice fell, a figure suddenly leaped onto the high platform with a faint icy aura, staring at Blaze Regret with a playful look.


    This person was none other than Ben Jamin, whom Blaze Regret had encountered at a shop.


    "A sixth tier warrior grade spirit master," Mon Star smiled sinisterly. Even if Ben Jamin were to lose to Blaze Regret, the latter would expend a significant amount of spiritual energy. Defeat was just a matter of time. With a few tricks, Blaze Regret would meet a miserable end.


    After placing their bets, the odds for Blaze Regret and Ben Jamin turned out to be even. Fire based spirit beasts had a strong advantage over snow based ones, so not everyone favored Ben Jamin.


    "You''re actually on par with me," Ben Jamin frowned, clearly displeased with the result. Having the same odds as Blaze Regret felt like a huge insult to him.


    "Do you think you''re that strong?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh.


    "At least in front of me, you don''t have the right to jump around," Ben Jamin said arrogantly, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret. In front of him, a pure white summoning array rapidly formed, slowly outlining a snow white spirit beast that floated out.


    Sorry for the late update

 Chapter 155: Chapter 155 Join The Arena 2

    "A mid tier warrior grade spirit beast, Frost Pearl Ping," Blaze Regret blinked in surprise.


    Frost Pearl Ping floated in the air, surrounded by several white snowballs that slowly rotated, making it seem as if tiny snowflakes were drifting around the high platform.


    "Prepare to die!"


    Ben Jamin''s sinister voice echoed, and the drifting snowflakes on the high platform rapidly solidified. In the blink of an eye, several palmaasized snowflakes formed around Frost Pearl Ping, their edges emitting a sharp and icy aura, looking quite beautiful.


    As Frost Pearl Ping''s body trembled, those snowflakes shot out suddenly, mixed with a faint snow mist, rushing toward Red.


    "All flash and no substance, one move is all it takes."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly. Red immediately darted forward, its claws wrapped in blue flames slicing through the snowflakes like a hot knife through butter. The cut surfaces were smooth as mirrors.


    "Impossible!" Ben Jamin''s pupils contracted. The ice crystal snowflakes were Frost Pearl Ping''s most powerful attack technique, yet they shattered completely without causing any damage to Red.


    In the moment of Ben Jamin''s shock, Red had already reached Frost Pearl Ping. The purple flames on its claws dissipated, and it lightly pressed its paw against Frost Pearl Ping.


    "Smack!"


    Instantly, Frost Pearl Ping was hurled off the high platform as if struck by a heavy object, skidding across the ground and leaving a long trail of snowflakes before finally coming to a stop.


    Instant kill!


    "The first round." Blaze Regret''s pitch black eyes remained calm, as if defeating Ben Jamin''s Frost Pearl Ping was a trivial matter to him.


    Ben Jamin stood dumbfounded on the high platform, unable to recover for a long time. Just half an hour ago, he had warned Blaze Regret with an air of superiority, advising him to take a detour whenever they crossed paths in the future. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had been decisively defeated.


    This stark contrast was hard for him to accept. Enjoy exclusive adventures from m-v l''-NovelFire.net


    The battle on the platform ended so quickly that the spirit hunters below were momentarily stunned. Those who had bet on Blaze Regret winning were visibly excited, while those who had lost their bets wore expressions of dejection, cursing Ben Jamin a thousand times in their hearts.


    "The next round." Mon Star frowned, not expecting Ben Jamin to be so useless that he couldn''t even withstand a single move.


    Ben Jamin walk slowly down the platform, retrieving Frost Pearl Ping into his spirit portal. He knew he could no longer stay in Hildan Town, as he doubted Blaze Regret would be magnanimous enough to let him off.


    Of course, what Ben Jamin didn''t know was that Blaze Regret had never regarded him as important from the start. Even now, Ben Jamin meant no more to Blaze Regret than a passerby.


    The next challenger was a sixth tier rock type spirit master. However, to everyone''s astonishment, his spirit beast also failed to withstand a single move and was blasted off the platform by Red.


    "Next."


    Mon Star''s face grew darker. The following rounds went the same way, and until the fifth round ended, Red won with just one swipe of its claw each time.


    "Is this guy a monster?"


    The spirit hunter who had chatted with Blaze Regret earlier felt a chill in his limbs, realizing that the person standing next to him all this time was such a terrifying figure.


    "It''s the sixth round now, Vice Captain Mon Star. Could you show the spirit crystal?" Blaze Regret smiled, as if worried Mon Star might renege on their agreement.


    "Of course." Mon Star suppressed his anger, taking out a fire type spirit crystal from his Void Realms stone and placing it on a stone pillar at the side of the high platform. If Blaze Regret won, the crystal would belong to him. If he lost, Mon Star would take it back.


    "Six consecutive wins. Didn''t someone achieve that in the Hildan Arena before?" someone whispered.


    "A streak of seven wins is already the record at Hildan Arena. I wonder if this young man will break it," someone expressed interest in the potential new record. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What are you thinking? The previous challengers were only sixth tier warrior grade spirit masters. Their spirit beasts were merely of the middle warrior grade. Up next, there will be even more powerful sixth tier warrior grade spirit masters stepping in," a spirit hunter scoffed with a shake of his head.


    "Snap!"


    However, the only response to his words was a crisp sound. The high level warrior grade spirit beast of the sixth tier warrior spirit master on the platform was sent flying with a single tail strike from Red, ending up sitting dumbfounded on the ground.


    "Wow!"


    After a moment of silence, the entire Hildan Arena erupted in a cacophony of astonished exclamations.


    Standing on the high platform, Blaze Regret gave a faint smile. He opened his palm, and a powerful suction force surged out, pulling the spirit crystal placed on the stone pillar into his hand with a snap.


    "Thank you for your gift, Deputy Leader Mon Star," Blaze Regret said with a smile, bowing slightly to Mon Star.


    Mon Star''s expression remained unchanged, trying his best to maintain his composure, but the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth betrayed his murderous intent.


    Is this kid a monster? He has fought six matches without showing any signs of fatigue. If it were an ordinary person, their spiritual power would have been exhausted by now.


    Staring at Blaze Regret with a sinister look, Mon Black, who was standing below the platform, whispered something to a nearby member of the Spirit Hunting Regiment. The latter nodded slightly and quickly disappeared into the crowd.


    "Can''t take it anymore, huh?" Blaze Regret smiled indifferently. He didn''t need to think much to understand Mon Black''s intention.


    If he relied solely on free combat, not to mention seven consecutive victories, even eight or nine consecutive victories were possible. Obviously, this was not a situation the Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment wanted to see. To prevent this from happening, the most effective way was to send someone from their regiment to defeat Blaze Regret on the platform.


    Sorry for the late update

 Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Fighting Sam Chester

    "For the eighth match, is there anyone who wishes to challenge?" Mon Star stared at Blaze Regret, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already foreseen what was about to happen.


    "Clang!"


    As Mon Star''s voice fell, a crisp sound of metal striking the ground echoed. On the high platform, a golden wing was thrust into the stone platform. On the back of the golden figure stood a young man, looking coldly at Blaze Regret.


    "It''s Sam Chester! His chief spirit beast, the Spirit Wing Eagle, is a rare metal element spirit beast, said to have reached the mid tier warrior of the seventh grade."


    Someone in the crowd couldn''t help but exclaim, drawing everyone''s attention.


    Compared to other elements, metal element spirit beasts possess exceptionally terrifying attack and defense capabilities. Their bodies are as hard as metal.


    Seeing the Spirit Wing Eagle slowly levitate, a trace of worry appeared in Yun Suhaila''s eyes. Blaze Regret''s Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was strong, but Sam Chester''s Spirit Wing Eagle was not weak either.


    "Metal element, huh?" Blaze Regret sighed inwardly. Coming to the Hildan Arena was indeed the right decision. Not only did he encounter rare snow element spirit beasts, but now even metal element spirit beasts were making an appearance.


    "Are you a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment?" Blaze Regret raised his eyes slightly, looking at the cold faced Sam Chester, and smiled.


    "Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment? I don''t know what you''re talking about. I''m here just to take you down and earn some gold coins." Sam Chester''s eyes flickered slightly before he shook his head, his voice extremely cold.


    "Tsk tsk, that explanation doesn''t hold up at all," Blaze Regret smirked. Every spirit hunter in Black Scale Town knew about the Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment. Sam Chester''s attempt to hide it only revealed more.


    "Are you here to exchange words or to fight?" Mon Star''s cold gaze swept toward Blaze Regret after seeing the bets being placed below.


    "I want to know the odds," Blaze Regret shrugged innocently and asked with a smile.


    "One to seven," Mon Star sneered.


    Clearly, at this point, few people had faith in Blaze Regret. Whether he could survive on this platform was still a big question mark.


    "So low?" Blaze Regret shook his head in disappointment, then took another gold coin card from his spatial ring and tossed it to Mon Star. "Thirty thousand gold coins."


    "You''re betting on yourself to lose? Sorry, participants can''t place bets. What if you lose on purpose?" Mon Star exaggeratedly waved his hand, causing many spirit hunters below to burst into laughter.


    "I''m betting on myself to win," Blaze Regret responded with a faint smile.


    Hearing this, Mon Star looked at Blaze Regret with a strange expression before bursting into laughter. Did he hear correctly? A fifth tier warrior grade spirit master daring to bet on himself against a seventh tier warrior grade spirit master?


    "Attention seeker," Mon Black, standing below, squinted his eyes disdainfully.


    "Alright, alright. Since that''s the case, I''ll make an exception this once. Thank you for the gold coins," Mon Star said, repeating "alright" twice. His expression, however, was filled with a sarcastic tone.


    "Your strategy to buy time is clever, but even if your spiritual power is restored to its peak, you still have no chance of defeating me," Sam Chester''s eyes flashed with a cold glint that was hard to detect.


    "Chirp!"


    At the same time, the Spirit Winged Eagle flapped its wings and suddenly charged out, its chest skimming just three feet above the ground. Its golden, shimmering wings, sharp as blades, slashed open with a swish, aiming fiercely at Red.


    Its claws spread open, surging with intense flames. Red''s body suddenly stood half upright, colliding with the swiftly flying Spirit Winged Eagle.


    "Clang!" S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blinding sparks flew as the Spirit Winged Eagle, with its speed boosting its strength to the limit, clashed with Red''s claws. The moment Red''s claws locked onto its wings, it was immediately knocked backward, its sharp claws leaving clear marks on the stone platform.


    Battle intent surged in its blue eyes. Just as it was about to be pushed off the platform, three streams of blue light swirled around Red, its strength surging in an instant. The Spirit Winged Eagle''s rapid speed gradually slowed, and by the time it reached the edge, it could not advance any further.


    Glaring at Red ahead, the Spirit Winged Eagle''s pupils turned icy cold. It raised its sharp claws and tore viciously toward Red''s abdomen.


    "Roar!"


    Red raised its two tail, which had become sharp as a blade, and collided with the Spirit Winged Eagle. The immense force made it stagger, nearly falling off.


    Applying slight pressure with its claws, Red spun in midair, gliding past the Spirit Winged Eagle''s back and landing steadily on the stone platform.


    Seeing its target disappear, the Spirit Winged Eagle let out an angry cry. Just as it was about to turn around, a swirling flame whirlwind suddenly sent its body flying.


    "Crack!"


    Red leaped high with force, its razor sharp claws carving several small cracks into the Spirit Winged Eagle''s back.


    "Excellent!" Sam Chester laughed in anger. Red''s reaction speed was beyond his expectations. From the moment the Spirit Winged Eagle attacked to the point it got injured, only a few seconds had passed. Seeing the cracks on its back, a hint of killing intent crept into Sam Chester''s voice.

    "Spirit Winged Eagle, fly up and kill that fire cat in mid air!"


    Upon hearing Sam Chester''s command, the Spirit Winged Eagle sprang into action, soaring swiftly into the sky. Red''s claws swiped underneath it, nearly disemboweling it.


    Circling once in mid air, the Spirit Winged Eagle''s icy gaze locked onto Red. With a flick of its wings, several iron like golden feathers detached and shot downwards with fierce momentum.


    "Clang!"


    Red''s body flashed, dodging those few golden feathers. However, more feathers soon rained down like a storm, quickly covering the entire platform with upright, razor sharp feather blades.

 Chapter 157: Chapter 157 One Move

    "Let''s see how you dodge this," Sam Chester said, his smile growing colder as he saw the feather blades cutting off Red''s retreat. "Spirit Winged Eagle, deliver the final blow and turn it into a sieve."


    The Spirit Winged Eagle let out a joyful cry as several sharp feather blades coalesced in front of its body, shimmering with a fierce light, locking onto Red.


    "Hmph," Mon Star sneered coldly.


    "Are you so sure I can''t hit your Spirit Winged Eagle?"


    At that moment, Blaze Regret''s calm and faint voice suddenly echoed.


    Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice echoed. Sam Chester sneered dismissively. The Spirit Winged Eagle and the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat were at least ten meters apart. He couldn''t believe that a Two Tail Demon Flame Cat could have any spiritual skill that could attack from such a distance.


    "Bluffing." Sam Chester casually muttered a few words.


    "Swish!"


    With a swing of its wings, a few golden feather blades from the Spirit Winged Eagle pierced through the air, producing a sharp whistling sound that resonated continuously.


    As the feather blades whistled toward it, the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s blue gemstone like eyes remained calm. Its sharp claws slightly lifted, and as spiritual energy gathered, a sharp Blue fire ring suddenly appeared and began to spin wildly.


    "This is..." Sam Chester''s face twitched slightly as he stared at the Blue fire ring. His understanding of the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was still stuck at the initial spiritual skills. He had never even heard of the Fire Thorn Ring. At this moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.


    The Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s head lifted slightly, and a sharp glint flashed in its eyes as it looked at the Spirit Winged Eagle in the sky. Its claws clenched slightly, and the Blue Fire Thorn Ring shot out instantly.


    "Crack!"


    The first to meet the Fire Thorn Ring were the few sharp feather blades of the Spirit Winged Eagle. However, the Fire Thorn Ring seemed to pass through them effortlessly, as if it had not encountered any obstacle. The broken feather blades fell powerlessly, embedding into the stone platform under the force of gravity.


    The Blue fire ring rapidly enlarged in the Spirit Winged Eagle''s eyes. The killing intent on its face vanished instantly. Its feathers stood on end as it frantically flew upwards, sensing a deadly threat from the fire ring.


    "Stop!" Sam Chester shouted desperately, the usual coldness on his face long gone.


    However, his shout had no effect on the Fire Thorn Ring. The Spirit Winged Eagle was fast, but the Fire Thorn Ring was faster. In a flash, it caught up with the Spirit Winged Eagle and pierced through its golden wings.


    Blood splattered as a miserable cry echoed in the sky. The Spirit Winged Eagle staggered a few times before plunging head first out of the Hildan Arena, disappearing from everyone''s sight.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s cold gaze turn towards him, Sam Chester shivered, hurriedly jumping off the high platform with his face filled with intense fear.


    "Deputy Leader Mon Star, please announce the result." Blaze Regret said indifferently.


    Upon hearing the reminder, Mon Star snapped back to reality and reflexively announced the result of the match. His eyes, however, were fixed on Blaze Regret like a venomous snake.


    Blaze Regret had actually defeated Sam Chester, who was two ranks higher than him, using only his fifth tier strength. This potential far exceeded Mon Star''s understanding. Given the initial actions of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, it was clear that Blaze Regret now harbored deep animosity towards them. If this young man was not eliminated, they would never have peace in the future!


    Exchanging a glance with the gloomy faced Mon Black, Mon Star nodded, further solidifying his thoughts.


    "He actually won." Yun Suhaila took a few white jade tokens from the hands of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members, a faint smile appearing on her face. She had placed a bet on Blaze Regret winning, and though she hadn''t expected him to actually win, he did.


    "Deputy Leader Mon Star, can you give me the gold coins first? These jade tokens are useless to me." Blaze Regret looked at the large pile of jade tokens in his hands with a headache, while the hunters below the stage all looked on with envy and jealousy.


    "If I had known, I would have bet on this kid to win. How much gold would that be worth!"


    Experience more content on m v|l e''-NovelFire.net


    "Exactly, betting ten thousand gold coins, even after the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group takes their cut, you could still earn fifty thousand gold coins. That''s a fortune!"


    Regretful voices rang out continuously from below the stage.


    "That''s not possible. The Hildan Arena has its own rules. All jade tokens can only be exchanged after the matches are over." Mon Star apologized to Blaze Regret with a smile. He had never intended to give Blaze Regret the gold coins anyway, so losing this much didn''t bother him at all.


    So what if Sam Chester lost? The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group had plenty of strong members. Mon Star was determined to kill Blaze Regret.


    "Oh, well then, I won''t compete anymore."


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret sighed and shook his head. He walked to the edge of the platform, ready to jump down.


    "Wait, are you sure you won''t compete anymore? Win two more matches and you can get an offensive spirit technique!" Mon Star was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shouted. If Blaze Regret exchanged the tokens on the spot and took the gold coins into the forest, it would be a huge effort for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to find him, no matter how many people they had.

    "I''ll compete if you exchange the gold coins for me. If I lose and can''t get the gold coins from winning eight matches, and you don''t exchange them for me, I''ll be at a huge loss." Blaze Regret shrugged.


    "Please trust the credibility of our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group." Mon Star breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Blaze Regret still had the intention to compete, it was fine. What he feared was Blaze Regret taking the money and running away.

 Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Out Of Control

    "I don''t trust you." Blaze Regret waved his hand and turned to jump down again.


    "Exchange it for him."


    A cold voice rang out from below the stage. Mon Black, with narrowed eyes, looked at Blaze Regret and spoke slowly. His desire to kill Blaze Regret was no less than Mon Star''s.


    "But Third Uncle, this is against the rules." Mon Star said with a bitter smile.


    "Rules are made by people. If I say exchange it, then exchange it." Mon Black impatiently waved his hand. He didn''t care about the gold coins; he only wanted to see Blaze Regret''s blood spill on the stage.


    Mon Star pursed his lips slightly, reluctantly took out a gold coin card from his spatial stone, and shot it towards Blaze Regret.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret quickly retracted his outstretched leg, smiling as he put the gold coin card into his void realms stone. Even if Mon Star didn''t exchange it, he wouldn''t have really given up the competition. After all, the temptation of an offensive spirit technique was too great.


    "Next match, Adam Smitch." Mon Star looked towards a hot tempered young man in the audience and nodded slightly.


    "Can I still place a bet?" Continue reading stories on m|v-l''-NovelFire.net


    Just as Mon Star was about to announce the start, Blaze Regret weakly spoke up.


    "Brother Blaze Regret, allowing you to place a bet just now was already against the rules. Please don''t make things difficult for us." Mon Star suppressed his anger and forced a smile.


    With a disappointed sigh, Blaze Regret looked at the young man standing in front of him. From him, he sensed an extremely violent aura, like an explosive flame.


    "How much spirit power do you have left?" Adam Smitch''s icy eyes stared directly at Blaze Regret.


    "Should be enough to deal with you." Blaze Regret rubbed his somewhat dry face and smiled lightly.


    "One move."


    Adam Smitch was not angered by Blaze Regret''s demeanor. He simply uttered two words indifferently. A fiery red figure suddenly dashed out from beside him, the violent aura of flames instantly engulfing the entire Hildan Arena.


    "Explosive Flame Elephant, huh?"


    Blaze Regret looked at the bulky figure, the corners of his mouth lifting into a faint smile. Since Adam Smitch wanted to settle this in one move, he would grant his wish.


    The heavy body stomped on the high platform, making a booming sound. The flames on the back of the Explosive Flame Elephant were like armor, giving it an extremely hard appearance.


    The rushing body came to the front of the Red. The pupils of the Explosive Flame on Elephant, as big as lamps, stared coldly at the Red. Then, its thick foot slightly raised, and as the flames surged, the spiritual energy in the field quickly flowed towards the bottom of its foot.


    "Explosive Flame Stomp!" sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Adam Smitch''s stern voice rang out, and the foot of the Explosive Flame Elephant stomped down hard on the Red. Even before it landed, cracks had already appeared on the stone platform below.


    Explosive Flame Stomp, a spiritual skill that only a seventh tier warrior grade Explosive Flame Elephant could comprehend, had extremely strong destructive power. This move had turned countless spiritual beasts into minced meat.


    Many spirit hunters below the stage closed their eyes. Not to mention the fifth tier warrior grade Two Tail Demon Flame Cat, even most seventh tier warrior grade spiritual beasts would meet their end under this spiritual skill.


    The shadow, like a small mountain, loomed down. The Red''s face remained unusually calm. Suddenly, a tiny blue flame leapt from its pupils, flickering with an extremely strange luster.


    The Explosive Flame Elephant locked eyes with this gaze, and its stomping foot suddenly froze in mid air. The fierce wind slightly ruffled the blue red fur of the Red.


    "Explosive Flame Elephant, kill it!" Adam Smitch was slightly taken aback when he saw the Explosive Flame Elephant suddenly stop, then shouted loudly.


    Immediately, a bizarre scene unfolded. The Explosive Flame Elephant slowly turned around, its cold eyes sweeping over Adam Smitch, then stopping on Mon Black.


    "Roar!"


    A powerful elephant''s trumpet echoed, and the Explosive Flame Elephant suddenly moved its strong limbs, charging straight towards Mon Black below the stage. Waves of substantial red spiritual energy surged towards its feet, and then it stomped down.


    "Stop!" Adam Smitch''s hair stood on end when he saw this, and he hurriedly tried to activate his spiritual connection with the Explosive Flame Elephant. However, the latter ignored him completely, not deviating even a bit in its attack direction.


    This baffling scene left all the spirit hunters bewildered. How could the Explosive Flame Elephant suddenly lose control and attack the third leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?


    "Bastard."


    An emotionless voice emerged from his mouth as Mon Black glared fiercely at the flaming foot descending above his head. Suddenly, a massive silver fist shot out from behind him, directly smashing the Explosive Flame Elephant''s foot into a cloud of blood mist.


    "Boom!"


    A roaring wave of air swept outward, and the Explosive Flame Elephant''s enormous body was instantly flung away, crashing heavily to the ground. Half of its body was completely destroyed by the immense force, with blood splattering all over the ground.


    Seeing the tragically dead Explosive Flame Elephant, all the spirit hunters took a sharp breath. Who could have imagined that the Explosive Flame Elephent, which had been so imposing on the stage just moments ago, would turn into a corpse in the blink of an eye?


    "Leader, the Explosive Flame Elephant just went out of control!" Adam Smitch''s voice was shrill as he looked at the remains on the ground. His legs almost gave way, and he nearly collapsed.


    Upon hearing this, Mon Black''s heart felt a sudden pang as he quickly glanced at the young man on the stage. He had miscalculated; in his haste, he had killed his own subordinate''s spiritual beast!


    Given Adam Smitch''s loyalty, he certainly wouldn''t believe Adam Smitch would attack him on purpose. There was only one explanation: it must have been the work of that Two Tail Demon Flame Cat!

 Chapter 159: Chapter 159 Shrek 1

    "Just now, I think I heard Adam Smitch call him leader." Finally, one of the spirit hunters reacted, looking at his companion and tentatively asking.


    "It seems so. Could it be that Adam Smitch is a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?"


    "No way. Does that mean this Hildan Arena is all rigged? I remember Adam Smitch defeated more than one contestant on stage."


    Whispers erupted among the crowd. On the stage, Adam Smitch''s face was full of sorrow and fear. He was mourning the death of his spiritual beast, but the fear was from accidentally revealing his identity.


    "I, I..."


    Just as Adam Smitch was about to explain, a sharp silver blade suddenly flew over, slicing through his throat.


    "Dare to spread rumors and cause trouble in front of me? You''ve grown tired of living." Mon Black''s eyes were cold as he looked at the fallen Adam Smitch, speaking in a frosty tone.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a chill in his heart. No matter what, Adam Smitch was still a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, and Mon Black killed him without hesitation. His ruthlessness had exceeded Blaze Regret''s imagination.


    "Everyone, calm down. This is all a misunderstanding. The Hildan Arena has always operated on principles of fairness and justice. I believe Adam Smitch was sent by another Spirit Hunting group with the sole purpose of disrupting our arena."


    Adam Smitch''s death left Mon Star slightly disoriented, but being the ruthless person he was, he quickly composed himself and addressed the crowd with a smile.


    Hearing Mon Star''s explanation, some spirit hunters nodded in realization, but many others had flickering eyes, clearly not buying the explanation. However, due to the formidable power of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, no one dared to speak out.


    "Congratulations, this match is yours," Mon Star said to Blaze Regret, smiling with an underlying murderous intent that seemed to pierce through Blaze Regret''s skin.


    "The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, very impressive," Blaze Regret said slowly after a brief silence. Although Adam Smitch was his opponent, dying so inexplicably left Blaze Regret feeling a sense of unresolved anger.


    "Soon, you''ll witness something even more impressive," Mon Star replied with a light laugh. He then stacked three spirit technique books of different colors and placed them on a stone pillar.


    "Blaze Regret, give up," Yun Suhaila, who was below the stage, couldn''t hold back any longer after a moment of hesitation. Her voice was filled with deep worry.


    She had fully experienced the corruption of the Hildan Arena. If Blaze Regret continued, given the ruthlessness of Mon Black and his associates, he was likely to die on the stage.


    "Don''t worry, trust me," Blaze Regret said with a warm smile to Yun Suhaila. He then took a deep breath, summoned the Red, and retrieved the last Qi Restoring Pill from his void realms stone, feeding it to the Red.


    According to the rules of the Hildan Arena, one could use any method to replenish spiritual power during rest periods, and using pills was considered the most extravagant method.


    "Stop struggling. The next person to enter will obliterate both you and your spirit beast on stage. Even if your fire Cat recovers to its peak, it won''t escape death. Let me tell you a secret, that person''s spirit beast recently killed a ninth tier warrior grade Wild Wind Leopard with its eighth tier warrior grade power," Mon Star''s sinister voice whispered into Blaze Regret''s ear.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly. An eighth tier killing a ninth tier? It did sound formidable indeed.


    However, it wasn''t entirely without hope.


    "Boom!"


    As these thoughts raced through his mind, a massive black shadow suddenly crashed heavily onto the stage. Instantly, a web of cracks spread outward from its center, extending in all directions like a spider''s web.


    Dense cracks suddenly appeared on the high platform, even showing signs of damage at the edges of the stone platform. This visually impactful scene instantly silenced everyone.


    A massive figure slowly straightened up, and a surge of powerful energy suddenly swept out from its body, causing the scattered rubble around to shoot in all directions.


    "What kind of spirit beast is this¡­"


    Blaze Regret''s face tightened as he looked at the spirit beast in front of him, which was as robust as a small mountain. Its enormous fists and heavy body all displayed its immense power. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "It''s Aishi Graze''s Shrek. I didn''t expect it to show up. The last time I saw it was three months ago!"


    "With such big fists, it could probably crush a spirit beast of the same rank with one punch. It''s terrifying!"


    Exclamations echoed through the crowd. It was clear that Shrek had quite a reputation in Hildan Town.


    "The one that caused Adam Smitch''s Explosive Flame Elephant to lose control must have been the eyes of the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat."


    A young man in white stood below the high platform. As the ground wriggled, a stone pillar broke through the earth, lifting the young man in white to a level equal to the high platform.


    "If you don''t look into its eyes, that bizarre spirit technique shouldn''t work. I''m curious to know, apart from this spirit technique, what other cards do you have up your sleeve?" The young man in white, named Aishi Graze, spoke slowly, his eyes calm and unruffled as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    "It''s Aishi Graze! Hahaha, he''s so handsome. That guy is dead for sure!" A girl standing next to Yun Suhaila looked at Aishi Graze with a crazed expression, her voice filled with joy.


    "How can you say that? What if Aishi Graze loses?" Yun Suhaila''s face turned cold upon hearing this, and her tone was unfriendly.


    "What if? Are you kidding me? Do you know that Aishi Graze''s Shrek recently killed a ninth tier warrior grade Barbaric Wind Leopard? And this guy is standing up for you, right? How pitiful. Prepare to collect his corpse." The girl sneered and then cast her fervent gaze towards Aishi Graze on the high platform.

 Chapter 160: Chapter 160 Shrek 2 (Bonus)

    Yun Suhaila''s chest heaved, clearly infuriated. However, her worry for Blaze Regret quickly suppressed her anger.


    After all, Aishi Graze was a genuine eighth tier warrior grade spirit warrior. Blaze Regret''s chances of winning were extremely slim.


    "I have many cards left to play. If you have the ability, you can reveal them one by one," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile, his voice calm and unwavering.


    "Fine, then show me."


    Aishi Graze''s eyes suddenly sharpened, and his cold voice echoed, "Shrek, charge and finish this quickly."


    Shrek''s large fist slightly opened, its gaze fixed on Red, and then it suddenly rushed out. The stone platform beneath its feet instantly shattered, seemingly unable to bear its immense strength.


    Red''s mouth slightly opened, and a brilliant blue sun shot out, heading straight for Shrek.


    "Bang!"


    Shrek clenched its hand, shattering the blazing sun immediately. The shockwave from the explosion didn''t cause it any harm. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Having crushed the blazing sun, spirit energy gathered in Shrek''s fist. As the air trembled, it aimed a fierce punch at Red''s head.


    With a nimble twist of its body, Red dodged Shrek''s fist at its waist. Its two tail lifted, the sharp tail blade forming an extremely hard arc, swiftly slashing at Shrek''s arm.


    "Clang!"


    It was as if it had struck steel. Red''s two tail blade left a clear double white mark on Shrek''s arm. The latter roared angrily, raising its hand to grab at Red''s waist.


    With a light press of its paw on the ground, a blue flame whirlwind swept out, sending Red''s body flying away and causing Shrek to grab at nothing.


    Shrek, with its immense strength, was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of speed. Trying to catch Red before inflicting substantial damage was evidently impossible.


    "Shrek, use the sandstorm to restrict its movements!" Aishi Graze commanded in a deep voice. Read latest chapters at m_v-l''e|-NovelFire.net


    "Roar!"


    Shrek let out a low growl, spreading its palms open. From each palm, earth colored spiritual energy surged forth and then slammed heavily onto the ground.


    As Shrek''s palms struck the ground, two sandstorms roared and expanded, instantly filling the high platform with swirling sand. Red, who had been darting around swiftly, found its speed greatly reduced.


    "A spirit technique to restrict the opponent''s movements," Blaze Regret murmured, his brow slightly furrowed. Red''s greatest advantage in the battle against Shrek was its speed, but now, this advantage was rapidly diminishing.


    Amid the sweeping sand, Shrek seemed entirely unaffected, an expression of extreme satisfaction appearing on its face. Its cold gaze fixed on Red, and it threw a punch.


    The sound of collisions echoed continuously. Although Red managed to dodge most of the attacks successfully, the sandstorm clearly had a significant impact. Shrek''s fists came dangerously close to smashing Red''s head several times.


    The distance between Shrek and Red kept closing. Suddenly, Shrek''s eyes sharpened, and stones rapidly gathered around its fist, causing it to swell to twice its size. The fist then descended like lightning.


    This move was as powerful as thunder, comparable to the fiery stomp of an explosive elephant, yet it was just a casual strike from Shrek.


    A fierce gust of wind approached from above. Red''s body tensed slightly. Just as the punch was about to land, two two tail demon Flame Cats suddenly split from Red. Surrounded by flames, three orbs of blue demon fire spun rapidly in front of them, shooting straight at Shrek''s face.


    "Boom!"


    The two two tail demon Flame Cats collided heavily with Shrek''s face. One dissipated on the spot, turning into blue flames, while the other rolled in mid air before landing steadily on the ground and quickly retreating to put distance between itself and Shrek.


    The immense force on its face caused Shrek''s bulky body to stagger backward, nearly toppling over.


    Seeing this, Red opened its mouth, and beams of radiant sunlight formed a straight line, continuously blasting Shrek''s face. Although it didn''t cause significant damage, the shockwaves from the explosions forced Shrek''s already leaning body to fall backward.


    "Crash!"


    Dust and wind swept out as Shrek crashed heavily onto the ground. The already damaged stone platform now had a deep pit in it, with cracks rapidly spreading from the pit.


    "Did it work?" Yun Suhaila''s small mouth was slightly open, and then her watery eyes suddenly narrowed.


    Amid the swirling dust, a large hand suddenly emerged, pressing against the stone platform. Shrek slowly stood up, casually shaking its head as if the fall had caused it no harm at all.


    "This body is tougher than a turtle''s shell," Blaze Regret sighed lightly. Red''s fierce attacks were completely ignored by Shrek''s formidable defense.


    "Nice try, but it''s useless against my Shrek."


    Aishi Graze, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke softly, "This match can end now. Shrek, deliver the final blow to that fire cat."


    Lowering the hand that had been touching the back of her head, Shrek gently nodded. Her violent gaze locked onto Red, who was retreating rapidly. Suddenly, she clenched her fist and slammed it onto the stone platform.


    "Buzz!"


    Ripples of earth colored spiritual energy undulated across the surface of the stone platform. If one were to look closely, they would notice that these ripples weren''t dispersing outward but were converging under Shrek''s fist in a very eerie manner.


    Red, who was retreating, suddenly stiffened, then began to slowly slide back towards Shrek as if grabbed by a giant hand.


    "Gravity Fist, did you see that? It''s Gravity Fist, Shrek''s signature move!" the woman beside Yun Suhaila exclaimed excitedly.


    As Shrek drew closer, the radiant light surrounding Red''s body reached its peak speed. However, apart from slightly slowing her movement, it had no other effect.


    With her left fist pressed against the stone platform, Shrek stared intently at Red. She slowly raised her right fist, then launched it with wild, fierce force.


    Under this violent punch, the very air seemed to tear apart, and the sound of the wind cutting through the air echoed incessantly.


    "Is it over..." Yun Suhaila closed her eyes with a bitter smile, unable to bear watching any longer.

 Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Shrek 3 (Bonus)

    Many spirit hunters held their breath, even Mon Black and Mon Star slightly leaned forward, eager to see Red''s head smashed by the punch.


    In her eyes, Shrek''s fist grew larger and larger. Yet, there wasn''t the slightest panic on Red''s face. Instead, as the fist was about to hit, a look of relief appeared.


    "Whoosh!"


    The fist carrying the violent force suddenly paused slightly, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of Shrek''s mouth. Her body seemed to freeze in place.


    "What''s happening?"


    The onlooking spirit hunters were stunned, completely unable to understand what was happening on the high platform.


    "Look at the back of Shrek''s head!"


    At this moment, a voice filled with intense shock suddenly broke the silence, echoing throughout the Hildan Arena.


    Everyone quickly looked over, only to see a small Fire spike Ring embedded at the back of Shrek''s head, with faint traces of blood seeping out.


    "You''ve lost," Blaze Regret said with a slight smile, turning to Aishi Graze.


    From the very beginning, he had intended for Red to use the Fire Spike Ring. However, Shrek''s body was too tough. If used haphazardly, the Fire Spike Ring would dissipate after a few cuts due to energy depletion. So, he instructed Red to insert the Fire Spike Ring into the stone platform at the moment of landing with Split Shadow.


    When Shrek fell, the Fire Spike Ring embedded itself at the back of her head.


    "Impossible, this is impossible! Aishi Graze cannot lose!" The woman beside Yun Suhaila shook her head repeatedly in disbelief.


    Red slowly retreated, but suddenly, her raised claw froze in mid air.


    "Lose? You''re too naive," Aishi Graze said with a faint smile.


    "Crack!"


    The hard rocks on the surface of Shrek''s body began to fall off piece by piece, along with the Fire Spike Ring from Red. A thin figure emerged from the shattered rock shell, radiating an extremely powerful spiritual energy.


    At that moment, Shrek seemed completely renewed. Not only had she shed her previous heaviness, but she also appeared incredibly agile, as if freed from some kind of restraint.


    Shrek picked up the Fire Spike Ring from the ground, swung it in her hand, and then suddenly hurled it towards Red.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Fire Spike Ring shot out like a blue streak of light, whistling past the high platform. Red quickly dodged, and the streak of light carved a deep groove into the stone platform behind her.


    After throwing the Fire Spike Ring, Shrek stepped on the stone platform and dashed forward suddenly. With a swift flick of her hand, a sharp rock spike shot out from the back of her hand, stabbing towards Red like lightning.


    Under such a terrifying onslaught, Red quickly dodged, and with Shrek''s relentless stabbing, solid afterimages began to appear.


    "Whoosh!"


    Shrek swung her tightly clenched fist, and the stone spike on the back of her hand left a gash on Red''s abdomen. In an instant, blood stained the white fur on Red''s chest red.


    "Haha, I knew it! How could a worthless nobody who appeared out of nowhere possibly defeat Aishi Graze?" The green clad woman beside Yun Suhaila cheered excitedly, her face full of glee. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yun Suhaila bit her lip slightly, her white teeth leaving a faint mark on her lips.


    "This must be Shrek''s true form," Blaze Regret said, his gaze growing increasingly serious as he watched Shrek''s agile movements.


    "Indeed," Aishi Graze nodded slightly and said softly, "If we were of equal strength, I might really fall at your hands. However, today''s victor is clearly not you. Admit defeat; you can''t beat me."


    Blaze Regret was somewhat surprised by Aishi Graze''s offer of surrender. He had originally thought Aishi Graze would be like the others before, aiming to kill him.


    "Your potential is great, but it''s not worth sacrificing your life for a moment of pride. After admitting defeat, find a forest to hide in. The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is not something you can provoke," Aishi Graze continued.


    "Hehe, others have said the same thing before," Blaze Regret suddenly laughed. "I''ve never sought to provoke others; it''s just that some people''s actions are too detestable. Rather than letting them offend the eye, it''s better to find a way to erase them."


    Hearing this, Mon Black and Mon Star''s eyes turned cold. It was clear Blaze Regret was referring to them.


    "Childish."


    After a moment of silence, Aishi Graze slowly uttered two words, and then his indifferent voice came again, "You can''t even defeat me. What right do you have to say such things?" Continue your journey with m|v-l''-NovelFire.net


    "Rights are not determined by words," Blaze Regret said, spreading his palm. The remaining spiritual energy within his first spiritual portal frantically flowed towards Red. "I only believe in strength."


    "Roar!"


    Red, who had been continuously dodging, suddenly forced Shrek back with a swipe of her claw. Blue spiritual energy gathered in her two claws, and in an instant, two rapidly spinning Fire Spike Rings appeared out of thin air, amid countless shocked gazes!


    The fire spike rings, edged with sharp thorns, hovered above Red''s claws, spinning rapidly. A faint Blue stream of light circled around the fire spike rings, rotating with them, emitting a piercing buzzing sound. At this moment, the temperature on the damaged platform soared.


    "This aura is no less than a low tier imperial grade spiritual skill..."


    Countless people stared dumbfounded at the two fire spike rings, eyes full of disbelief. A single fire spike ring could already obliterate most high tier warrior grade spiritual skills, and Red could actually refine two of them simultaneously!


    "We must not let this boy go," Mon Black and Mon Star''s faces were icy cold. They had no doubt that with Blaze Regret''s potential, if allowed to grow, the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would one day suffer a fatal blow.


    "Is this your trump card..." Aishi Graze''s eyes were solemn, the spiritual power within the Spirit Portal rapidly flowing towards Shrek like a torrent. He had a premonition that if he held back any longer, Shrek might fall to this move.

 Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Shrek 4

    "Whoosh!"


    Shrek''s arm trembled, and the rock spikes on the back of his hand instantly extended a section. All the spiritual power condensed on this rock spike, causing deep yellow light to flicker at its tip. A small pit appeared in the stone platform below.


    "Shrek, Rock Shattering Void Spike!"


    Aishi Graze''s eyes suddenly opened wide, his cold shout echoed, Shrek stomped the ground, and amidst the flying rocks, charged swiftly towards Red. The rock spike thrust out violently, creating a fine crack in the space ahead.


    Red''s eyes flickered, and his claws crossed, swinging out. The spinning fire spike rings tore through the air, darting around the platform, leaving afterimages, then abruptly converged in front of Shrek. The two fire spike rings, carrying scorching heat, slashed down towards Shrek''s head.


    Shrek''s arm slightly raised, and the sharp spike clashed fiercely with the fire spike rings.


    "Clang!"


    A crisp collision sound rang out as a wave of violent energy rapidly spread from the point of impact. The already damaged platform further collapsed in layers. For a moment, stones flew everywhere, and the two spirit beasts were deeply embedded into the stone platform.


    Wisps of blue smoke rose from the pit formed by their clash, and the onlookers held their breath.


    "Who won?"


    After a long silence on the platform, only Blaze Regret and Aishi Graze stood facing each other from a distance, their expressions calm. Finally, a soft inquiry emerged from among the spirit hunters below.


    "Are you stupid? Do you even need to ask? Of course, Aishi Graze won." The green robed woman beside Yun Suhaila shot a displeased glance at the speaker.


    Yun Suhaila pursed her lips, her face full of worry.


    "Congratulations, Brother Aishi. Your strength is indeed extraordinary. This wild cat and dog, who knows from which hole they crawled out, dared to challenge Brother Aishi. Truly foolish," Mon Star said, cupping his hands towards Aishi Graze with a smile. If one listened closely, they could detect a hint of sycophancy in his voice.


    It was baffling to see the deputy leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group showing such respect to a mere member.


    "I declare the winner to be Aishi¡­" Mon Star glanced mockingly at Blaze Regret and began to announce the result with a hint of derision in his voice.


    "I lost."


    However, Aishi Graze''s calm voice cut Mon Star off mid sentence, leaving the words stuck in his throat.


    "Brother Blaze, your Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s talent far exceeds my expectations," Aishi Graze said, looking at Blaze Regret with a serene gaze, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.


    "Your Shrek is also quite impressive."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly as the exhausted Red slowly climbed out of the pit, its Blue tail dragging out a severely injured figure Shrek!


    "How can this be!" The green robed woman below covered her mouth in shock while Yun Suhaila beside her breathed a sigh of relief, as if she were the one who had just fought on the platform. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Thank you," Aishi Graze said as he brushed his hand over his waist. With a flick of his fingertips, a pale yellow pill fell into Shrek''s mouth. Astonishingly, after ingesting the pill, Shrek''s body quickly regenerated a layer of rock armor, visible to the naked eye.


    "I never thought I''d meet my match in this small town," Aishi Graze chuckled self deprecatingly. After Shrek returned to its spirit portal, Aishi Graze gently jumped off the tattered platform, waved his hand slowly with his back to Blaze Regret, and said, "If you''re interested, you can come to the central empire to find me. The training environment there is a hundred times better than here.


    Of course, you''ll need to figure out how to clean up this mess first."


    Watching Aishi Graze disappear into the distance, Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Aishi Graze had quite a background. But were all these aristocratic heirs so arrogant? It seemed like each of them had a condescending tone when they spoke.


    Aishi Graze was like this, and so was Kartis Van.


    Thinking of Kartis Van, a cold light flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He had now reached the strength Kartis Van had that day. He wondered how far Kartis Van had progressed with the ample resources of the kartis family supporting him.


    Gently shaking his head to clear his mind of these sudden thoughts, Blaze Regret looked at Mon Star, whose face had turned grim, and smiled faintly, "According to the rules, I can now choose one of the three spirit techniques, right?"


    Mon Star stared coldly at Blaze Regret in silence, making the atmosphere in the arena tense and oppressive.


    "Hehe, Brother Blaze, you''re so young and already a fifth tier spirit warrior grade. Such talent is hard to come by. Have you ever considered joining our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?" Mon Black chimed in with a smile, though the latent violence in his eyes suggested he merely wanted to use this pretense to keep Blaze Regret there.


    "Commander Mon overestimates me. There are plenty of fifth tier spirit warriors grade my age in the central empire. I wouldn''t want to cause trouble for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group," Blaze Regret replied with a smile, discreetly moving toward the stone pillar where the three offensive spirit techniques lay quietly.


    "So, are you saying you look down on our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?" Mon Black continued to smile, but his suddenly cold words made many spirit hunters shiver involuntarily.


    "Not at all. I just prefer my freedom," Blaze Regret said apologetically, placing his hand gently on the ice element spirit technique.


    At that moment, a spirit hunter hurried over to Mon Star and whispered something in his ear. A cold gleam instantly flashed in Mon Star''s eyes, and a sinister smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

    "Brother Blaze, I heard that you recently traded a few stone mushroom monsters at the shop. Is that true?" Mon Star asked, turning his sinister gaze toward Blaze Regret.

    "Yes, so what?" Blaze Regret frowned, a sense of unease rising within him. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Seize him! This brat snuck into the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group''s treasure vault a few days ago and stole the spirit realm stone containing the stone mushroom monsters!" Mon Star shouted sharply.


    Immediately, dozens of spirit hunters with Dragon patterns on their chests surrounded the damaged platform. Their spirit beasts all stared menacingly at Blaze Regret.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense.


    Sitting in the chair, Mon Black looked at this scene with a trace of a cold smile on his face. It was obvious to anyone that Blaze Regret was already exhausted, and his Two tail Demon Flame Cat couldn''t even stand up.


    "How could this be..." Yun Suhaila''s face turned pale, and sweat seeped from her jade like hands. She certainly didn''t believe Mon Black''s words, but it seemed that the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group wanted to eliminate Blaze Regret as quickly as possible.


    "I knew it, he''s a thief. Captain Mon, don''t let him go. I, Su Yu, despise people like him the most!" The woman next to Yun Suhaila exclaimed with added embellishment, her face lighting up with joy.


    "You..." Yun Suhaila turned her head, glaring angrily at Su Yu.


    "What are you looking at? He''s about to die. Daring to win against Aishi Graze, he must be tired of living." Su Yu glanced at Yun Suhaila with pride, feeling extremely excited inside.


    "Captain Mon, is there no room for negotiation?" Blaze Regret pressed one hand on the three spiritual arts books, quickly forming seals with the other hand. The Spirit portal appeared, and he put away the Red, looking down at Mon Black with a smile.


    "What do you think?" Mon Black grinned, revealing a sinister smile.


    "Blaze Regret, surrender immediately and hand over your void realms Stone. Come with me to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to plead for mercy. Perhaps my father will spare your life in light of your cooperation." Greed surged on Mon Star''s face as he threatened.


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly, standing quietly in place. To outsiders, it seemed he was struggling internally.


    "Hurry up and do as Young Captain Mon says! He''s being kind. If it were me, I wouldn''t let a thief like you off so easily!" Su Yu shouted harshly.


    "Did you hear that? Hurry up and hand over the void realms Stone!" Mon Star demanded sternly.


    "Do you think everyone is as brainless as her?" Blaze Regret smiled, then swiftly stored the three spiritual arts books into the void realms Stone. Suddenly, he swung his arm, releasing a black stream of light emitting a scorching aura, shooting towards Mon Black.


    "Captain Mon, this Fireburst Fruit is a gift for you!" Blaze Regret laughed as he jumped from the shattered rock pile, quickly blending into the crowd.


    "Get down!"


    Seeing the black streak of light whistling towards him, Mon Black''s face was suddenly filled with horror. He quickly grabbed the chair beneath him and threw it fiercely. With a clang, the black object fell into a deep pit on the high platform.


    "Fireburst Fruit!" Mon Star shivered upon hearing the name and instinctively dropped to the ground. A gray white spiritual energy covered his entire body, transforming into hard rock. It was evident that this was Mon Star''s life saving defensive spiritual art.


    However, after a while, the expected explosion didn''t occur.


    "What''s going on?" Su Yu, lying on the ground in an undignified manner, lifted her head slightly, revealing a puzzled expression.


    Mon Black swallowed nervously and slowly moved towards where the Fireburst Fruit had fallen. Moments later, his furious voice rang out: "Chase him! That kid tricked us!"


    Seeing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Mon Black''s face turned grim as he threw a black object to the ground. Once everyone got a clearer look, their expressions became quite colorful.


    The object was just an ordinary stone, its surface coated with a black substance emitting a scorching energy, which had misled everyone into thinking it was a Fireburst Fruit.


    "Relay the order to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group: Anyone who catches that boy will be rewarded with 200,000 gold coins and a book of offensive spiritual arts!" Mon Black shouted angrily.


    Upon hearing this, greed appeared in everyone''s eyes. Not only was Blaze Regret now incapable of resisting, but the conditions Mon Black offered were enough to make them risk their lives.


    "200,000 gold coins! Haha, that boy is dead for sure!" Su Yu laughed heartily, waving her hand. A black panther leapt out, and she immediately mounted it, chasing in the direction Blaze Regret had fled.


    Seeing this, many spirit hunters quickly summoned their own spirit beasts and followed as fast as they could, fearing that Su Yu would get the reward first.


    "Blaze Regret, please don''t let anything happen to you," Yun Suhaila bit her lip lightly, surrounded by rolling sand waves and the chaotic sound of footsteps.


    "Third Uncle, let''s join the chase too," Mon Star said, turning his head to look at Mon Black.


    "No rush. Let them test the waters first. What if Blaze Regret does have a Fireburst Fruit?" Mon Black said with a sinister smile, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, causing the surrounding members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to quickly lower their heads, not daring to make eye contact.


    ...


    "Snap!"


    Leaping over a fallen, decayed giant tree, Blaze Regret paused for a moment, his eyes cautiously scanning the area. After confirming there were no ambushes ahead, he took a deep breath and swiftly darted forward.


    "Damn it, they''re chasing so closely! My spiritual power is nearly exhausted!"


    Hearing the shouts coming from behind, Blaze Regret cursed under his breath. The cold wind rushing into his mouth made him quickly shut it and continue to dash forward desperately.


    At this moment, the exquisite crystal nucleus between his two spirit portals was drawing a small portion of spiritual power from the second spirit gate, sustaining the consumption of his Flame Step. Experience new stories on m v|l e''-NovelFire.net


    "He''s just ahead! Quick, chase him!"

 Chapter 164: Chapter 164 kill All

    Hearing Su Yu''s excited shout not far behind, Blaze Regret''s face darkened, and a cold killing intent flashed through his eyes. Your next chapter awaits on m v|l--NovelFire.net


    It was one thing for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to join the chase, but even these idle spirit hunters were after him now. Did they really think Blaze Regret was easy to bully?


    As he dashed forward, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly narrowed. He quickly ducked, and a sharp whistling sound passed by his ear. A dark arrow whizzed past, embedding itself in a tree trunk with a snap before dissipating.


    "Haha, where do you think you''re running?" Su Yu, riding on her Black Wind Panther, looked at Blaze Regret arrogantly.


    "Old hag!" Blaze Regret glanced back, veered to the right, and ran into the dense forest. His words made Su Yu''s face stiffen instantly.


    "You''ll pay for that!" Su Yu''s eyes filled with fury as she ordered the Black Wind Panther to chase in Blaze Regret''s direction. Behind her, a large group of people followed closely, scaring the native spirit beasts of the forest into hiding.


    "Whoosh!"


    Blaze Regret''s ears twitched as the sound of flowing water reached him from up ahead, causing his heart to tighten. No way, please don''t let there be a river ahead he was a notorious landlubber!


    His running steps gradually slowed to a stop. Looking at the seemingly bottomless rapids in front of him, a bitter smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s lips. He had feared this exact scenario. Judging by the dark, swirling depths, this river was certainly not shallow.


    "Run! Come on, keep running if you dare!" Su Yu, riding on her Black Wind Panther, waved her hand at Blaze Regret with a show of arrogance. Behind her, numerous spirit hunters emerged from the forest, their eyes fixated on Blaze Regret with greedy and menacing looks.


    "Aren''t you great at running? Take another step if you dare," Su Yu taunted, her voice filled with haughty pride.


    "Hand over the void realms Stone, or we''ll tear you to pieces!"


    "Hahaha, summon your Two Tail Demon Flame Cat and dissolve the spirit contract. Maybe after I take it, I''ll consider letting you die a less painful death!"


    "Why waste words with him? Just cut his tendons, break his legs, and cripple his spirit portals. Whatever we want will be ours for the taking!"


    A fierce light flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he was about to use his Flame Step to take a few spirit hunters down with him. Suddenly, a delicate, unraveling sound echoed from his second spirit portal.


    His eyebrows raised with delight, and he slowly lifted his face, his voice tinged with coldness as he spoke:


    "Do you really think that with just you worthless lot, you can take my life?"


    "What kind of trick are you playing?!" Su Yu''s face changed suddenly. Wasn''t this guy a fire element spirit master? Why did I sense a cold aura just now?


    "Want to see?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled slightly as a light blue spirit portal quickly sketched itself into existence before him. The Ice Control Irenix fluttered its icy wings gracefully and slowly emerged from the spirit Portal, causing the temperature in the area to plummet.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the terrified eyes of Su Yu and the others, an extremely cold mist surged out with the flutter of the Ice Control Irenix''s wings, sweeping over the frightened crowd like a tidal wave.


    "Run!"


    However, the panicked voice that someone had just uttered was abruptly cut off, as all the spirit hunters and spirit beasts were instantly frozen, transformed into lifelike ice sculptures.


    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix looked at everyone in a daze, then turned its head to stare intently at Blaze Regret, its eyes showing a hint of excitement for the first time.


    "Tier eight." A faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face as he reached out his hand and gently stroked the Ice Control Irenix''s icy wings. The cold touch did not cause him any discomfort.


    The Ice Lake Stone Flower truly lived up to its reputation as a rare spiritual item. Not only had it completely transformed the Ice Control Irenix''s body structure, but it had also caused its tier to jump by three levels during its slumber.


    "Swish!"


    The Ice Control Irenix turned around, the emotions that had barely surfaced in its eyes vanishing instantly, becoming icy cold again. As its wings flapped, countless icy feathers shot out, quickly piercing through the terrified spirit hunters. The ice pillars shattered, and their bodies turned into fragments scattered across the ground.


    Strangely, there was not a single drop of blood seeping out from the ice covered bodies.


    In the center of the scene, only one lonely ice pillar stood.


    Glancing curiously at the ice pillar encasing Su Yu, Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. This sole remaining ice pillar was clearly left behind by the Ice Control Irenix on purpose. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Spare me... please don''t kill me. I''ll do anything!" Su Yu, seeing the fate of the other spirit hunters, was filled with terror. His broken and intermittent voice came from within the ice pillar, full of pleading.


    "With your actions, how can I spare you? Without my numerous trump cards, the one who would have met a tragic end would certainly be me."


    Blaze Regret shook his head slightly. Having roamed the world for so long, he had fully experienced the ruthlessness of these spirit hunters. Letting them go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, and who knows when they might come back with their vicious claws.


    With a gentle wave of his hand, the ice pillar encasing Su Yu slowly toppled over, rolling down into the river and sinking into the abyss. The dark riverbed, with shadows occasionally darting through, filled Su Yu with utter despair.


    Blaze Regret clapped his hands lightly and looked somewhat helplessly at the remains on the ground. He then gave the Ice Control Irenix a reproachful glance. While the killing was swift, as an observer, he couldn''t help but feel extremely uncomfortable.

 Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Mon Den

    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix innocently blinked its large eyes and gently flapped its wings, causing several surrounding ice crystals to collide with each other.


    "Hehe, I knew it, the Ice Control Irenix was bound to awaken today." Master Magi''s after the fact laughter suddenly rang out.


    "You didn''t even lend a hand. What if I had died?" Blaze Regret glanced irritably at the void realm stone.


    "With these worthless foes, how could they possibly take your life?" Master Magi mimicked Blaze Regret''s tone, still laughing shamelessly.


    Suddenly, the Ice Control Irenix''s eyes narrowed. Its icy wings spread wide, shielding Blaze Regret behind it, while its gaze fixed firmly on the dense forest ahead.


    A cold aura, entirely different from the Ice Control Irenix''s, began to spread silently. Threads of ice, like a spider''s web, interwove among the branches and leaves. Although they appeared random, they had actually sealed off Blaze Regret''s retreat completely.


    "A imperial tier spirit beast? Is it the grand leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?" The lightness in Blaze Regret''s eyes vanished, replaced by deep seriousness. Although the Ice Control Irenix''s strength had greatly increased, there was still a significant gap between a warrior tier spirit beast and a Imperial tier spirit beast, making it extremely challenging to bridge.


    Unless the opponent was somehow restrained by the ice element, winning seemed almost impossible.


    "The Ice Silk Formation. If I''m not mistaken, that spirit master''s spirit beast should be the Ice Silkworm," Master Magi said slowly after a moment of silence. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Amidst the rustling leaves, a snow white Ice Silkworm crawled out. Behind it, a middle aged man with an indifferent expression walked out slowly. He glanced at the ice blocks on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    "You really went all out," the man said indifferently as he looked up at Blaze Regret. Enjoy more content from m-v l''e|-NovelFire.net


    "If I hadn''t, I''d probably be a hundred times worse off than them right now," Blaze Regret shrugged, sounding somewhat helpless.


    "You''re quite knowledgeable for someone so young. Indeed, these people couldn''t be left alive," the middle aged man said with a light laugh as he glanced at the river behind Blaze Regret. "So this is the Blackwater River. It''s said to be thousands of feet deep, with countless water type spirit beasts within. Falling in means certain death."


    "What exactly are you trying to say?" Blaze Regret frowned, his eyes scanning the sides. He noticed that the distant surroundings were also covered in ice silk. The spiritual power of a Imperial tier spirit beast far surpassed that of a warrior tier beast, and even with such expenditure, the Ice Silkworm showed no signs of fatigue.


    "You have two choices now: one, jump down; two, cripple your spirit Portal and come back with me obediently. I can spare your life," the middle aged man said with a faint smile, confident that anyone with a brain would choose the second option.


    "Can you at least tell me who you are?" Blaze Regret sighed, seeming very helpless.


    "Mon Den, the second leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group," the middle aged man said with a light smile.


    "Alright, Mon Den, I''ll remember you," Blaze Regret grinned, then, to the middle aged man''s astonishment, turned and jumped into the Blackwater River. Only his laughter echoed along the riverbank.


    "Wash your neck and wait. Next time we meet, Blaze Regret will take your life!"


    "Plop!"


    Blaze Regret''s body fell into the Black Water River, splashing water everywhere. Many broken ice pieces on the riverbank were washed back into the river by the returning water.


    Wiping the splashed water from his face, Mon Den stared blankly at the rippling water surface, utterly incredulous. He could not believe that Blaze Regret had actually jumped into the Black Water River.


    This was the perilous Black Water River, a place even powerful spirit masters dared not easily approach!


    Behind him, branches and leaves rustled. Mon Black and Mon Star hurriedly emerged from the forest.


    "Second Uncle, where is that brat Blaze Regret?" Mon Star glanced at the broken ice on the ground, his heart tightening. He then turned to Mon Den and anxiously asked.


    The entire Draconic Spirit Hunter Group only had three offensive spirit techniques, which were so precious that no one used them lightly. They were the treasures of the group. Now, all three spirit techniques had fallen into Blaze Regret''s hands, which is why Mon Star was so anxious.


    Mon Den, his face dark and silent, only pointed to the now calm river surface.


    "Haha, Second Uncle, I knew it! You threw that brat into the river, didn''t you?" Mon Star laughed, thinking himself clever.


    "He jumped in himself!" Mon Den''s voice was icy, his cold eyes glaring fiercely at Mon Star. Those were three offensive spirit techniques; even outside, each one would fetch a sky high price!


    Hearing this, the smile on Mon Star''s face froze instantly. His mouth opened slightly, and his heart clenched.


    This time, when he returned to the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group, he feared he wouldn''t escape punishment. Thinking of the pain endured by previous members who had made mistakes, Mon Star''s legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.


    ...


    In the dim water, everywhere he looked were bizarrely shaped black shadows, swaying gently with the water flow. Most of them were water plants.


    "Gurgle~"


    Encased in a golden barrier, Blaze Regret looked at the creatures swimming past him, his face slightly pale. Fortunately, Master Magi was with him; otherwise, if it had been any other spirit master, they would have been devoured by the spirit beasts in the Black Water River within minutes.


    "You really have guts, jumping into this Black Water River of all places."


    Master Magi, who was in the same barrier as Blaze Regret, slightly curled his lips. Even he had been stunned when Blaze Regret jumped into the river.


    "I had no choice. Besides Mon Den, Mon Black was also following behind. If I fought head on, I would have died even faster." Blaze Regret shrugged. If Master Magi had intervened, it would have been different, but he knew that unless a powerful spirit master appeared, Master Magi would not lend a hand, leaving him to his fate.

 Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Jade Spirit Pearl

    As they talked, a thick black shadow parted the water and slowly swam over. A jet of inky water sprayed out, hitting the surface of the barrier.


    "Boom!"


    The barrier shook violently. Inside, Blaze Regret felt as if an earthquake had struck. It took a while for the barrier to stabilize, its surface covered in black liquid.


    "A Water Ink Turtle, a mid tier eighth grade spirit beast," Blaze Regret said, his face darkening as he looked at the attacker. It was a massive turtle with a hard shell on its back, as heavy as a towering hill.


    Swimming in front of the barrier, the Water Ink Turtle looked greedily at Blaze Regret inside, its eyes gleaming with bloodlust. To it, a spirit master like Blaze Regret was merely a weak prey.


    It extended its claw and fiercely struck the spirit powered barrier, trying to shatter it. Invisible water waves spread out from the point of impact.


    "You''ve got some nerve!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes turned cold. The Ice Control Irenix he controlled appeared, its wings sharp as blades. It drew an icy blue arc, instantly severing the claw that the Water Ink Turtle was using to strike the barrier.


    Although the fire attribute spirit beast Red couldn''t survive underwater, the Ice Control Irenix wasn''t much affected, its movement speed only slightly reduced. Due to certain special reasons, the Ice Control Irenix could even perform better underwater than on land. Discover more stories at m,v l''e-NovelFire.net


    The extended claw split in two, the severed part slowly sinking to the riverbed. The Water Ink Turtle retracted its limbs in pain, then fiercely rammed its shell against the barrier surrounding Blaze Regret. The dull thudding sounds echoed through the water.


    "Ice Control Irenix, freeze it!"


    Blaze Regret''s sharp voice rang out. The Ice Control Irenix''s wings moved silently, emitting a bone chilling cold energy that enveloped the Water Ink Turtle layer by layer. In an instant, it formed a massive block of ice.


    Encased in the ice, the Water Ink Turtle''s eyes filled with panic. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn''t break through the pure ice.


    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix moved, appearing above the ice block. Its right wing paused briefly before slicing down mercilessly. Instantly, cracks spread rapidly across the ice block. With a loud sound, the Water Ink Turtle inside was shattered into countless pieces, drifting in the river. The black shell floated for a moment before slowly sinking to the riverbed.


    "So this is the Ice Control Irenix''s power," Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed. The Ice Control Irenix''s terrifying attack method was indeed hard to defend against. Once an enemy was frozen, it basically meant instant death.


    Flapping its icy wings, the Ice Control Irenix sliced through the water, returning to Blaze Regret''s side, vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Underwater, its sensing ability was far superior to that of a spirit master.


    "Little guy, it''s safe here now. Shall we go up?" Master Magi suddenly pointed to the water''s surface and asked.


    "No rush. I remember there''s a herb called Blue Ming Grass growing underwater. It''s used to make Qi Restoration Pills. Although it also grows on land, it''s much scarcer there than at the riverbed," Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed as he shook his head.


    "You just want to see if there''s any treasure in the Black Water River, don''t you?" Master Magi saw through Blaze Regret''s little scheme without hesitation and laughed.


    "Since we''re already here, wouldn''t it be a waste to leave empty handed? That''s not the Blaze Regret way," Blaze Regret said confidently, puffing out his chest.


    "Suit yourself," Master Magi said, shaking his head with a mix of amusement and exasperation. He then placed his palm against the barrier, infusing it with a surge of powerful energy, making the barrier even thicker.


    The danger level in the Black Water River was no less than that of remote mountain ranges. In just a few minutes, dozens of water type spirit beasts had perished under the Ice Control Irenix''s icy wings.


    "Crash!"


    As the barrier moved to the riverbed, what initially appeared to be calm algae suddenly coiled towards Blaze Regret like a centipede, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.


    Centipede Algae, a low tier warrior grade spirit beast, could survive underwater just like some wood type spirit beasts. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Frowning slightly, Blaze Regret watched as the Ice Control Irenix swiftly dispatched the Centipede Algae. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze fell upon something. Concealed beneath the numerous Centipede Algae, a brilliant river clam appeared in his sight, its shell glowing with a soft, luminous light.


    With the movement of the golden light shield, Blaze Regret slowly sank down. Seeing the death of the centipede algae, the small water type spirit beasts residing there scattered in all directions.


    "Boom!"


    The Ice Control Irenix gently tapped the clam shell with its icy wings. Instantly, several water jets shot out from the shell, sending it flying several meters away.


    "Jade River Clam?" A hint of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    The Jade River Clam is a high tier aquatic spirit beast. Though not rare, it is unique in that some Jade River Clams may contain a mystical item known as the Jade Spirit Pearl. Possessing this item allows one to move underwater without hindrance and even breathe.


    However, the probability of finding a Jade Spirit Pearl is quite low. On average, only one out of every ten Jade River Clams contains such a pearl, and once used, the mystical item automatically shatters.


    "Ice Control Irenix, pry open its shell," Blaze Regret''s deep voice commanded.


    Nodding slightly, the Ice Control Irenix extended its icy wings. Just as the Jade River Clam was about to spray water jets, the wings were jammed inside, and with a forceful pry, a brilliant round pearl shot out.


    "There really is one!" Blaze Regret excitedly caught the Jade Spirit Pearl in his hand and looked at the Jade River Clam in astonishment. This creature was smart enough to know what to do to protect itself.

 Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Black Water Flood Dragon

    Holding the Jade Spirit Pearl in his right hand, Blaze Regret infused it with spiritual energy. Immediately, a thin membrane appeared around his body. After the Master Magi withdrew the golden light shield, the delicate membrane effortlessly kept the river water at bay.Even more astonishing to Blaze Regret was that his vision underwater had greatly improved. He could clearly see scenes dozens of meters away.


    "This is truly a great item!" Blaze Regret smiled as he moved to the right, where dozens of Blue Inscription Grass plants were growing on a protruding rock. This rare medicinal herb could not be found in ordinary shops.


    Under the protection of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret collected all the Blue Inscription Grass, which emitted a faint blue glow, and stored them in the void Realm Stone. He was just short of one Lava Fruit, and then he would have all the ingredients needed to refine the Qi Recovery Pill.


    "Blaze Regret, hide under the rock!"


    Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed. Without thinking, Blaze Regret sank down. After a while, the river remained still. Just as he started to feel puzzled, a chilling black shadow slowly swam by.


    Although the black shadow seemed to move slowly to Blaze Regret, the watertype spirit beasts were terrified, frantically fleeing in the opposite direction. Some with special abilities quickly burrowed into the riverbed mud.


    "Bloop, bloop~"


    Transparent bubbles rose, and a spirit beast resembling a long snake swam by. Its body was covered with cold, sinister scales, and a pair of enormous transparent wings extended from its sides, making its already agile body even more maneuverable.


    "A Black Water Flood Dragon?" Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat at the sight of the approaching figure.


    The Black Water Flood Dragon starts at a high tier imperial grade, but this one had already reached a low tier lord grade. In the Black water River, it was undoubtedly a dominant force!


    The Black Water Flood Dragon opened its bloody maw and bit into a Water Ink Turtle. With a crack, the turtle''s shell shattered, and its crimson blood spread through the murky riverbed. The hiding spirit beasts held their breath in fear.


    The Water Ink Turtle was large, and even the Black Water Flood Dragon took nearly a quarter of an hour to finish devouring it. The fullness in its belly made its swimming movements slow considerably. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Phew!"


    Seeing the Black Water Flood Dragon leave, Blaze Regret quietly exhaled in relief. Beside him, Master Magi''s eyes suddenly narrowed, staring intently at a particular scale on the Black Water Flood Dragon.


    "What''s wrong?" Blaze Regret asked Master Magi in confusion.


    "Remember, little one, when I told you about mystic Beasts?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret and spoke slowly.


    "Have you found its trace?" Blaze Regret''s breath caught, and his gaze swept around urgently.


    Mystic Beasts are anomalies among spirit beasts. Each one has the ability to challenge across levels. Even the powerful spirit masters at the summit of the continent covet mystic Beasts. Owning one is akin to having a ticket to becoming a future superpower!


    "Wood attribute," Master Magi suddenly spoke.


    "What?" Blaze Regret turned back, looking at Master Magi in surprise.


    "Did you see that leaf under the Black Water Flood Dragon''s scales? It probably came from a wood attributed mystic Beast," Master Magi pointed at the Black Water Flood Dragon and said softly.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched. What was this about? He thought they''d found a mystic Beast, but it turned out to be just a leaf! That kind of thing, he could easily collect an entire pocketful of in any forest! Find your next read at m_v l|e-NovelFire.net


    "Don''t be in a hurry. That leaf looks very fresh, likely having fallen off not long ago. At least we can determine that the mystic Beast is still active within the Sun Moon Empire and isn''t too far from here," Master Magi explained upon seeing Blaze Regret''s speechless expression.


    "If we retrieve that leaf, can we trace the mystic Beast from its aura?" Blaze Regret''s eyes brightened, and he asked urgently.


    "The aura of a mystic Beast is very distinctive, so it is feasible," Master Magi nodded gently. As he looked up, he saw Blaze Regret already clutching the jade Spirit Pearl and rushing out at top speed.


    "Are you out of your mind?" Master Magi''s expression changed slightly. The Black Water Flood Dragon was a lord grade spirit beast, and Blaze Regret was as vulnerable as a child in front of it, utterly defenseless!


    After swiftly dispatching a few water type spirit beasts that suddenly appeared, Master Magi hurriedly followed. With his extensive knowledge, he naturally understood how enticing a mystic Beast was to a spirit master. Blaze Regret''s reaction was not surprising at all.


    There was once a large empire called the Black Rock Empire, where a water attributed mystic Beast named Seven Star Child appeared. It instantly caused a bloody storm, with even powerful Spirit sovereigns fighting to the death. The number of fallen Spirit king experts could fill an entire city.


    If Blaze Regret had heard this, he would have been astonished. Even the monarch of the Sun Moon Empire didn''t possess the power of a Spirit sovereigns. A single Spirit sovereigns could easily dominate the entire Sun Moon Empire. Such a powerful entity was still too far beyond his reach.


    The Black Water Flood Dragon, sensing the disturbance behind it, glanced back. In its enormous eyes, a trace of ferocity flashed.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Black Water Flood Dragon suddenly turned around, and from its wide open mouth, a massive water column, about ten feet wide, shot out, tearing through the river''s resistance, and headed straight for Blaze Regret.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Prism!"


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s command, the Ice Control Irenix''s wings fluttered, and a bone chilling cold gathered in front of it, forming a round mirror. The shiny ice surface stood out conspicuously in the dim river water.


    The water column collided with the Ice Prism, emitting a cracking sound as the hard mirror instantly shattered.

 Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Black Water Flood Dragon 2

    With a flash of its figure, the water column, containing immense energy, shot out from beside the Ice Control Irenix, instantly obliterating the bodies of countless spirit beasts, creating a straight line of blood mist in the river water.Master Magi, who had arrived, saw Blaze Regret quietly take out a fiery red spiritual spell from the Void realm Stone, and his mouth twitched.


    This kid has a good plan, but unfortunately, he lacks experience. Water attribute spirit beasts can''t be dealt with in this way!


    In the dim waters of the river, the Black Water Flood Dragon stared coldly at the distant Ice Control Irenix. Its mouth opened and closed constantly, spraying out jets of water that carved out marks in the river.


    "Crack!"


    The ice prism in front of Ice Control Irenix had just formed when it shattered under the impact of the water jets. Thankfully, the distance between them was considerable, and the resistance of the river water slowed down the speed of the jets significantly. So, despite the chaotic dodging, Ice Control Irenix remained unscathed by the water jets.


    Seeing its attacks repeatedly miss, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Black Water Flood Dragon''s sinister eyes. It opened its mouth, and the surrounding river water, as if drawn by some force, surged towards its mouth, forming a rapidly spinning vortex. As more water was drawn in, the vortex became increasingly dark and deep.


    This was a powerful strike by the Black Water Flood Dragon. Not to mention Ice Control Irenix, even a Lord grade spirit beast would meet its end under this spiritual technique.


    Blaze Regret''s dark eyes were filled with seriousness as he gazed at the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the vortex. The fire attribute spiritual technique in his hand had already transformed into information flooding his mind, and a wave of scorching energy rippled from his palm.


    Spiritual Art, Flame Domain, a very special type of offensive spiritual technique that could create a field of fire, causing immense pain to the opponent''s spirit beast while leaving one''s own spirit beast unaffected.


    During the stages of Spirit novice and Spirit warrior, humans were mostly spectators in spirit beast battles, unable to help their spirit beasts much besides synchronizing their spiritual power. However, as their spiritual power increased, powerful spiritual techniques could gradually be performed, potentially altering the outcome of a battle through cooperation with their spirit beasts.


    Noticing the disturbance beside him, Black Water Flood Dragon glanced at Blaze Regret with disdain. A mere Spirit warrior could be swatted to death with a single tail swipe, and yet he dared to make a move against it? S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Let''s do this!"


    Blaze Regret raised his face, watching the Black Water Flood Dragon, which was about to unleash its vortex. He clapped his hands together forcefully and then suddenly separated them. A field of fire instantly expanded, and just as the river water was about to drench it, the Flame Domain rapidly contracted, condensing entirely into Blaze Regret''s palm to form a slowly rotating fireball.


    The fireball was surrounded by two layers of protective barriers: one being the Sun Flame Wall and the other a membrane produced by the Jade Spirit Pearl.


    Encased in these two layers of membranes, the fire reached an extremely terrifying temperature, with an intensely deep color.


    "Go!" With a wave of Blaze Regret''s hand, the fireball shot out like a streak of crimson light, piercing through the river water and striking the scales of the Black Water Flood Dragon. However, it did not explode; instead, it merely wriggled, enveloping the scale and heating it to a red hot temperature.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, the vortex in front of the Black Water Flood Dragon shot out violently, sweeping towards Ice Control Irenix. The river water churned tumultuously wherever it passed, and some spirit beasts caught in it exploded into a mist of blood in an instant.


    "Come back!" Blaze Regret''s palm opened, and the second spirit portal constructed itself in a flash. Just as the vortex was about to hit Ice Control Irenix, it was remotely retrieved.


    The vortex, now missing its target, smashed into a towering rock. The powerful impact wreaked havoc, causing the river water to churn wildly. Waves surged skyward, reaching several dozen feet high. Continue your journey with m|v-l''-NovelFire.net


    With Ice Control Irenix suddenly disappearing, the Black Water Flood Dragon''s eyes showed a hint of confusion. Just as it was about to flap its transparent wings to search, a cold sensation came from its right side, followed by a crisp sound of something shattering.


    "Success!"


    Seeing the slowly floating green leaf, Blaze Regret''s face lit up with joy. From the beginning, he had no intention of fighting the Black Water Flood Dragon to the death. Even with his full effort, he might not have been able to injure it, as it was, after all, a true lord grade spirit beast!


    Therefore, he first used a compressed version of the Flame Domain to heat the scale with the embedded leaf to the extreme. Then he covered it with ice. Under the alternating temperatures, the scale quickly became unable to withstand the pressure and eventually shattered.


    With the help of the Jade Spirit Pearl, Blaze Regret darted through the water like a fish, excitedly grabbing the leaf into his hand. With this item, he might one day find a true wood elemental Mystic Beast!


    Below Blaze Regret, the Black Water Flood Dragon''s eyes filled with uncontrollable rage. The shattering of its scale felt like a provocation. It spread its transparent wings and charged at Blaze Regret.


    "So fast!"


    Noticing the Black Water Flood Dragon''s sudden speed increase, Blaze Regret''s expression turned serious. A lord grade spirit beast was truly terrifying. Just breaking one of its scales had nearly drained the spiritual power of two spirit portals. Such a being was far beyond what he could handle at his current level!


    He poured his remaining spiritual power desperately into the Jade Spirit Pearl. Before the Black Water Flood Dragon could reach him, Blaze Regret shot through the river like an arrow, leaving a long trail behind him.

 Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Black Water Flood Dragon 3

    However, as one of the overlords of the Black water River, the Black Water Flood Dragon would not be outdone by a mere Spirit warrior. With its transparent wings vibrating, the distance between them began to close visibly."Damn it!"


    The stench permeated through the river water, causing Blaze Regret''s face to turn grim. In desperation, he retrieved several Blue Ming Grass from his void realms stone and stuffed them into his mouth. Instantly, his nearly depleted spiritual power began to recover slowly.


    "That''s ruthless," Master Magi observed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.


    Refining Blue Ming Grass in such a manner would undoubtedly leave significant side effects. At the very least, Blaze Regret would endure days of pain afterward. Yet, despite this, he did not seek Master Magi''s assistance, showing a maturity far beyond his previous self.


    Glancing back, Blaze Regret saw the hideous face of the Black Water Flood Dragon almost upon him. Terrified, he dove downward, narrowly avoiding the creature''s swift shadow above.


    "Smack!"


    As it passed, the Black Water Flood Dragon''s extensive hunting experience showed; its tail lashed out fiercely, striking Blaze Regret''s chest like a sledgehammer and sending him hurtling backward. Blood quickly spread through the river water.


    With no time to wipe away the blood from his mouth, Blaze Regret frantically channeled his spiritual power. Before the Black Water Flood Dragon could turn around, he shot upward, breaking through the water''s surface with a splash and crashing onto the ground.


    "Ugh!"


    Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Blaze Regret clutched his chest and staggered backward. The river''s surface swelled, and the Black Water Flood Dragon leaped high, its bloody maw opening wide, relentlessly pursuing Blaze Regret.


    A water type spirit beast that can survive on land! This was entirely beyond Blaze Regret''s expectations.


    Pale faced, Blaze Regret swung his hand forcefully, sending the shattered Jade Spirit Pearl flying towards the Black Water Flood Dragon. The pearl had already fractured under his overuse and was now useless.


    Brilliant fragments scattered in the air as the Black Water Flood Dragon charged through them, ready to devour Blaze Regret in one bite.


    "You beast, get lost!"

    Master Magi''s furious shout echoed, and in a flash of golden light, several pillars of light appeared out of thin air, weaving around the Black Water Flood Dragon. If it dared to move forward even a bit, these pillars would mercilessly pierce through it.


    The Black Water Flood Dragon''s transparent wings halted abruptly, and it looked at Master Magi in terror. Immediately, it swirled the water around it and fled into the Black Water River.


    "Saved!"


    Blaze Regret smiled in relief, then collapsed to the ground, his vision quickly fading into darkness.


    A green leaf was tightly clutched in his hand, lush and vibrant.


    The azure sky was as clear as a mirror, with clusters of fine clouds gently drifting. Below the sky, due to the gradually cooling climate, large swathes of leaves had turned golden.


    "Ugh..."


    Slowly opening his eyelids, Blaze Regret shook his slightly groggy head and looked around. Upon seeing Master Magi sitting on a rock, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.


    "Awake?" Master Magi''s lips curled into a faint smile when he saw Blaze Regret get up.


    Blaze Regret nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a phosphorescent tiger lying deep inside a cave. The tiger''s docile appearance, lying there obediently, had no trace of majesty, resembling more of a well behaved kitten.


    "Did you do this?" Blaze Regret speechlessly looked at Master Magi. It was difficult to find another person who could make a imperial grade spirit beast so obedient.


    "Hehe, how is your body feeling?" Master Magi asked with a smile.


    Closing his eyelids, Blaze Regret felt for a moment. When he opened his eyes, a look of surprise surged within them because he discovered that his spiritual power had become much more robust compared to three days ago, clearly stepping into the ranks of a seventh tier spirit master!


    The advancement of a spirit master inevitably meant that the spirit beast would also improve. This meant that now, Red had also reached the high level seventh tier warrior grade!


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret hurriedly opened the first spiritual portal. The lively Red immediately jumped out, pouncing into his arms, its soft fur feeling extremely comfortable.


    "Don''t be too quick to celebrate. Although your strength has increased, the side effects are not small," Master Magi said with a faint smile, shaking his head.


    In the Hildan Arena, Red''s continuous battles made it normal for it to ascend a tier. However, due to Blaze Regret''s reckless actions in the Blackwater River, the spiritual portal received a strong impact. By a twist of fate, Red managed to ascend two tiers.


    It was precisely this reckless behavior that caused the spiritual power within Blaze Regret''s spiritual portal to become extremely mixed, with a lot of impurities from the Blue Ming Grass.


    "So many impurities," Blaze Regret frowned slightly. After eating a little something, he sat cross legged and began to eliminate the impurities within his spiritual portal.


    "Buzz!"


    As Blaze Regret closed his eyes, the location of the spiritual portal on his chest suddenly began to emit two different colors of light. Due to the swift circulation of this light, flames and ice simultaneously appeared on his outstretched hands.


    Tiny blue fragments were forced out of Blaze Regret''s body along his meridians, gathering in his hands. These were the impurities from the Blue Ming Grass. The beads of sweat on Blaze Regret''s forehead indicated that this process was far from pleasant. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The sun outside the cave set three times, and it was only when it rose for the fourth time that Blaze Regret slowly opened his eyes. With a flick of his fingers, a blue light embedded itself into the cave wall with a snap.


    "The spiritual power of the seventh tier is nearly twice as robust as that of the fifth tier!"

 Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Impurity

    As Blaze Regret was cultivating at night, there someone going into the cave. Said Master Magi.Blaze Regret open his eyes, and the Red instantly jumped up, arched its back, and leaped outside!


    Blaze Regret dared not be careless. At this moment, the sound of the wind breaking was heard, and a beast master in a gray Daoist robe rushed in.


    The gray robed spirit master seemed young, his face somewhat sun darkened, with a hurried expression.


    "Fellow spirit master, please run quickly. There are two bandit spirit master behind who specialize in ambushing lonely spirit master like us!" The gray robed spirit master didn''t slow down.


    "Roar!" The Red bared its teeth, launching a Fireball Technique at the person!


    The person instantly retreated dozens of meter.


    "Fellow spirit master, are you with those bandits?" the gray robed spirit master quickly asked.


    "No, I''m not with them; you''re the one with the bandits!" Blaze Regret shook his head, having already activated the spirit technique.


    "Fellow spirit master, it''s a misunderstanding! Those two behind really are bandits!!"


    "I have a treasure map. If you assist me in defeating the two bandits behind us, I''ll share the treasure map with you!"


    "It''s the cave dwelling of a lord tier spirit master, with several spirit technique and weapon!"


    "You sure know how to tell stories, spinning two tales in one breath!" Blaze Regret was skeptical.


    The spirit master then indeed produced a treasure map.


    "Fellow spirit master, see for yourself?"


    "If it''s truly a misunderstanding, then please surrender, and I''ll deal with the bandits!"


    "I''m a spirit hunter from the the Ace Spirit Hunter from the hildan town; our reputation is impeccable!" Blaze Regret replied, not believing a word from the gray robed spirit master.


    In these times, anyone who can break into a cave dwelling isn''t running away it''s clear they''re here to collaborate with the spirit master outside.


    If fleeing, with the vastness of the world, there are plenty of places to run. Entering a cave dwelling is like stepping into a dead end.

    Blaze Regret continued to persuade the gray robed spirit master to lay down his weapon. Meanwhile, the Red unleashed another blue Fireball Technique!


    The countless hours Blaze Regret had spent training finally paid off.


    The gray robed spirit master, was instantly engulfed by the blue fireballs, reduced to a charred corpse.


    Even the treasure map flew far away.


    At that moment, two black clad spirit master entered the cave entrance. Seeing the fallen gray robed spirit master, they were enraged!


    "Well done!"


    With that, they each wielded the swords, slashing towards him. One was a mid level warrior grade spirit master at the seventh tier, and the other at the sixth tier, both exuding a fierce aura!


    Inside the cave dwelling, the Red unleashed another barrage of blue fireballs.


    The two flying swords were blasted away.


    The immense wave of fire seemed to devour everything in its path.


    "A late level warrior tier spirit beast!" The two spirit master hesitated for a moment.


    They hurriedly retreated out of the cave.


    Blaze Regret didn''t pursue them, knowing the cave dwelling gave him an advantage, as did the ironwood token.


    His main concern was whether there were more enemies outside and what kind of technique the mid level warrior tier seven garde possessed!


    At that moment, the two spirit master began to attack the cave dwelling, intending to bury Blaze Regret alive!


    Blaze Regret then ask Red to finish this fast because did not want to alert his enemy. Just as he was preparing to take them down one by one, the two spirit master fled.


    Witnessing this, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Red and he hadn''t exerted their full strength, a complete victory against them wasn''t guaranteed. Their retreat was a fortunate turn for him. He went back to the cave to start training again S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret stood up, feeling the surging spiritual power within him, and couldn''t help but sigh in relief. The impurities from the Lan Ming Grass had finally been completely expelled from his body, bringing about a sense of comfort.


    With his current strength, he could barely sustain summoning both Red and the Ice Control Irenix simultaneously.


    "That leaf..." Blaze Regret suddenly remembered something and eagerly looked at Master Magi.


    "Don''t worry, it''s with me," Master Magi said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, the delicate leaf shot towards Blaze Regret like a bolt of lightning.


    "Can you sense it?" Blaze Regret turned the vibrant green leaf in his hand, his face glowing with excitement. This was a legendary Mystic Beast, known for being elusive. He hadn''t expected to find a trace of one in the small town of Hildan.


    "The aura on this leaf is very faint, but it''s not impossible to track," Master Magi said with a smile. "On the continent, there is a wood type spirit beast called the Tongling Bamboo. The droplets secreted from the sixth segment of its leaves have the ability to temporarily enhance the aura of objects they come into contact with.


    If you can find a drop, you might be able to roughly track the current location of this wood type Mystic Beast."


    Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow in surprise, "A drop of water that magical?"


    Master Magi shook his head with a smile, "Don''t think too highly of it. The Tongling Bamboo is a social spirit beast. When one is isolated, it will smear the droplets from the sixth segment of its leaves onto the leaf of a member of its group to find its way back to the group. It''s just a small trick, really."


    Hearing this, the stone in Blaze Regret''s heart finally settled. As long as there was a way, all the previous efforts would not be in vain.


    Placing the leaf into the void realms stone, Blaze Regret patted Red and headed towards the cave entrance. Behind him, the Phosphorescent Tiger shook its head excitedly, relieved that these people were finally leaving, no longer having to live in fear!

 Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Alex Yandy

    In the dense forest, several spirit hunters with grim expressions meticulously searched the mountains. The Dragon emblem on their chests caused all other spirit hunters who saw them to hurriedly avoid them.The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group was the largest force in Hildan Town. Not only did they have the powerful leaders the Head and Second Leader, both imperial tier spirit masters but even the Third Leader, Mo Gang, was capable of sweeping through any spirit hunting group. A ninth tier spirit warrior grade, he was a formidable figure in hildan Town.


    "Sigh, it''s been days. Why does the Head still insist on searching?" One of the spirit hunters, chewing on a dry piece of jerky, muttered with a slight pout. The leaders were being overly cautious; it was just a fifth tier spirit warrior, after all. Did they really need to go to such lengths?


    "I heard he jumped into the Black water River. If he didn''t die from that, it would defy all logic," another spirit hunter nodded in agreement.


    "Stop complaining. That kid Blaze Regret, with his fifth tier strength, defeated Aishi Graze and caused chaos in the Hildan Arena. Unless they see his dead body, the Young Leader and the other leaders won''t rest," a spirit hunter quickly interjected upon hearing their conversation, noticing that Alex Yandy, standing at the front, was already looking displeased.


    Alex Yandy, the head of their small team, had been in the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group for a few years and was still stuck in this position, feeling extremely frustrated. So, whenever a task came up, he eagerly took it on.


    "If he''s that strong, wouldn''t we be doomed if we encountered him?" The spirit hunter who had spoken earlier, clearly lacking situational awareness, exclaimed, oblivious to Alex Yandy''s growing displeasure.


    "What''s all the noise about? He''s just a fifth tier spirit warrior. How strong can he be? Even if he survived the Black water River, he''d be severely injured. If I see him, I''ll crush him into pulp and toss him into a dung pit!" Alex Yandy shouted impatiently, causing the others to fall silent instantly.


    "Rustle!"


    At that moment, there was a disturbance in the forest ahead. A blue clad woman, upon seeing Alex Yandy and his group, quickly turned and fled in the opposite direction.


    "Ken Aina from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?"


    Alex Yandy squinted, a wicked smile forming on his lips. "After wandering in the mountains for so long, we''ve finally found some fun. This woman is much more exciting than those in the tavern. Brothers, catch her for me!"


    In the quiet forest, a graceful figure dashed swiftly, her pretty face covered in sweat. Behind her, a few spirit hunters with mocking expressions were closing in, the distance between them shrinking with each fallen leaf.


    "Damn it!"


    The sudden appearance of a horizontal log in her path made Ken Aina''s already pale face even paler. Thinking of the people chasing her, a sense of despair rose sharply in her heart.


    "Heh heh, why aren''t you running anymore?" Alex Yandy looked at the halted Ken Aina, a mocking smile playing on his lips. With a wave of his hand, the spirit hunters following him immediately surrounded Ken Aina.


    "Alex Yandy, don''t be too arrogant. If Uncle Yun Anuar finds out, he won''t let you off!" Ken Aina bit her lip and said harshly.


    "Tch, it''s just a small Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. What kind of waves can they make? Even if Yun Anuar comes, we''ll still do what we need to do." Alex Yandy licked his lips and smiled, the other spirit hunters from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group laughed loudly, their gazes towards Ken Aina becoming even more unscrupulous.


    Ken Aina''s delicate body trembled slightly, and she took several steps back. But the log behind her, like a mountain, blocked all her hopes of escape. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Your Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group isn''t doing too well either. A kid named Blaze Regret tore down our Hildan Arena. If Yun Suhaila doesn''t do something to satisfy our deputy leader, heh heh..." Alex Yandy''s cold laughter continued, as if he was thoroughly enjoying toying with Ken Aina.


    "Blaze Regret?" Ken Aina was slightly stunned. She had just returned from outside and didn''t know what had happened in Hildan Town, so hearing the name left her momentarily distracted.


    "Impossible, it can''t be that Blaze family wastrel. Other than some alchemist skills, he''s a complete waste in cultivation.


    How could he come to Hildan Town and dare to tear down the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunting Group''s arena?" On the surface, Ken Aina''s expression was icy, but her mind was racing with thoughts, feeling a sudden discomfort at the thought of the boy who had embarrassed her at the Atlas Shop.


    "Alright, time to get down to business. Are you coming yourself, or should we do it?" Alex Yandy''s smile widened, and he took a step toward Ken Aina.


    "Over my dead body!"


    Ken Aina''s face hardened, and a surge of icy energy swept through the area. A spirit beast, resembling an ice flower, appeared beside her. With a shudder, it instantly shot an ice spike, gleaming coldly, straight at Alex Yandy.


    "Frost Star? A decent spirit beast, but unfortunately, it''s too low grade."


    Alex Yandy sneered, tugging at the corner of his mouth. A round shield suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the incoming ice spike. After a moment of stalling, the ice spike shattered with a crack and fell to the ground.


    The spirit beast in front of Alex Yandy was called the Wood Munching Mushroom. It had a chubby mushroom cap on its head, and its hands were also small mushroom caps. It was clear that this was a wood element spirit beast highly adept at defense.


    "Sixth tier?" Ken Aina''s face grew even more distressed at the sight of Alex Yandy''s Wood Munching Mushroom. Her Frost Star was only at the third tier. Frost ice could restrain wood to some extent, facing a Wood Munching Mushroom left her with no chance of victory, especially with so many Draconic Spirit Hunters eyeing her menacingly.

 Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Slaughter

    "Don''t anyone else move, I''ll handle this myself," Alex Yandy said arrogantly.At Alex Yandy''s command, the chubby feet of the Wood Munching Mushroom stomped the ground, and it lunged forward. Its hard mushroom cap whipped up a fierce wind as it swung heavily at Frost Star.


    Frost Star dodged several meters away, and the mushroom cap of the Wood Munching Mushroom smashed into the horizontal log, sending wood chips flying and creating a hole in the log instantly.


    "Frost Star, Double Ice Spikes!" Ken Aina shouted urgently.


    Frost Star''s body floated slightly, and small ice flowers appeared on either side of it. Each ice flower was exquisitely detailed, and then the icy petals slowly opened. Sharp ice spikes shot out from the flowers'' centers, and the ice flowers themselves shattered into ice crystals that drifted down.

    "Tricks of the trade. Wood Munching Mushroom, Mycelium!"


    Alex Yandy''s disdainful voice rang out, and countless web like mycelium strands shot out from the Wood Munching Mushroom''s body. These mycelium strands, carrying the characteristic scent of fungi, enveloped Frost Star from all directions.


    The sharp ice spikes lost their momentum instantly under the sticky mycelium and were carried along, wrapping around Frost Star and sticking it firmly to a tree trunk.


    Ken Aina''s face turned ashen, her body trembling uncontrollably. The cold and aloof demeanor on her pale face had completely vanished.


    "Hehe, Ken Aina, what''s so good about that broken Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group? Follow me, and I''ll make sure you live comfortably in Hildan Town," Alex Yandy laughed heartily as he lifted his foot and walked towards Ken Aina with a burning gaze.


    "Are the members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group all such unsavory characters?"


    A clear, light hearted voice suddenly came from the treetop. Alex Yandy and his companions quickly looked up and saw a young figure leaning lazily against a branch, looking down at them with a casual gaze.


    "Blaze Regret?" Alex Yandy''s pupils trembled slightly. Having seen his portrait dozens of times, he recognized him immediately.


    The other spirit hunters'' expressions also changed. Even though they had been searching the mountains for the past few days, each of them had been praying that Blaze Regret had died in the Black Water River. After all, someone who could defeat Aishi Graze was far beyond their ability to contend with!


    Ken Aina''s face was even more expressive. She covered her mouth lightly with her jade like hand, her beautiful eyes staring at Blaze Regret in disbelief.


    Was this guy really the Blaze Regret that Alex Yandy had mentioned?


    Even now, she could hardly believe it.


    "When did you get here?" Alex Yandy finally mustered the courage to ask, his voice cold.


    "I''ve been here from the beginning. What, do you want me to report to you?" Blaze Regret replied nonchalantly, then lightly patted the branch and floated down to the ground.


    "Get him!"


    Alex Yandy gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with cold light. He shouted angrily. So what if Blaze Regret had defeated Aishi Graze? Falling into the Black Water River must have caused unimaginable injuries. Blaze Regret was only putting up a front now.


    If he could take Blaze Regret down, his status in the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would surely soar!


    Scanning the surroundings, Blaze Regret saw several spirit beasts lunging at him. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Red on his shoulder, which was grooming its fur, looked disdainful and then darted out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, blue shadows flickered, and the spirit beasts attacking Blaze Regret were instantly sent flying!


    "Boom!"


    As the spirit beasts hit the ground, Alex Yandy and the others looked at them in fear. Each spirit beast had a clear bloodline on its neck, with crimson blood slowly seeping out.


    Ken Aina tightly covered her mouth with her small hand, trying hard not to scream. Her delicate face was filled with shock.


    The five spirit hunters of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, though not as powerful as Alex Yandy, were genuine fourth tier warrior grade spirit masters. When working together, they could even hold their ground against a sixth tier warrior grade spirit master for a moment. However, under Blaze Regret''s Two Tail Demon Flame Cat Claw, they couldn''t even last a single move?


    This scene happened in an instant. As Alex Yandy regained his senses, his face twisted. Just as he was about to order a retreat, Blaze Regret let out a light laugh. With a wave of his hand, an ice blade shot out swiftly, slicing through the chests of the group like lightning.


    "Shhh!"


    Blood splattered as the five spirit hunters stared in horror at the wounds blooming on their chests, their bodies collapsing.


    Blaze Regret reached out, calmly catching the returning ice blade. With a gentle squeeze, the blade dissipated, transforming into icy spiritual energy that flowed into his second spirit portal.


    "Ice Shard Blade?" Alex Yandy''s lips trembled.


    The Ice Shard Blade was one of the offensive spirit techniques Blaze Regret had obtained from the Hildan Arena. With his seventh tier warrior grade spirit master strength, using it was effortless, and its destructive power could rival the Frost Feathers of the Ice Control Irenix.


    "To deal with you, I don''t even need a spirit beast." Blaze Regret opened his hand, another ice blade forming. Its sharp edges gleamed, and tiny ice mists drifted around it.


    "Spare me, I can pretend I didn''t see you. Otherwise, once the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group finds out about this, you won''t survive either!" Despite his fear, Alex Yandy''s expression remained defiant, even bringing up the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to threaten Blaze Regret.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile. With a flick of his hand, the pure ice blade flew out, carrying a chilling temperature, heading straight for Alex Yandy''s chest.


    "Shhh!"


    Sorry for the Late Update. Bonus chapter will be post later. Hope you all enjoy

 Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Fighting Mon Black

    The blood stained ice blade pierced through Alex Yandy''s body, embedding itself into a tree trunk with a snap. Alex Yandy looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief. Did this guy really not fear the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group? Did he dare to act in such a situation?Meanwhile, the Wood Munching Mushroom stood there dumbfounded. Blaze Regret''s speed was too fast, leaving it no time to defend.


    Watching Alex Yandy''s lifeless body fall to the ground, Ken Aina''s lips trembled slightly. This was a sixth tier warrior grade spirit master, yet in front of Blaze Regret, he didn''t even have a chance to resist!


    At this moment, the Wood Munching Mushroom finally reacted. With a scream, it ran towards the depths of the forest, disappearing quickly.


    Blaze Regret showed no reaction to this.


    His enemy was Alex Yandy. As for the Wood Munching Mushroom, if it insisted on seeking revenge, Blaze Regret naturally wouldn''t let it go. However, it was clearly trying to escape now, so he couldn''t be bothered to chase it.


    Some spirit beasts, once they break their spiritual bond with a spirit master, become completely wild. Therefore, Blaze Regret had no worries and wasn''t afraid of any trouble.


    "Beep!"


    Suddenly, a clear sound came from the communication shell at Alex Yandy''s waist. The flashing light caused Ken Aina''s face to turn pale instantly.


    "It''s someone from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. We need to leave!" Ken Aina said in a panic.


    "Why should we leave?" Blaze Regret looked at Ken Aina curiously. With a lazy stride, he walked over to Alex Yandy''s corpse and picked up the communication shell.


    "Alex Yandy, where are you? Why haven''t you reported back yet!"


    The voice from the communication shell made Blaze Regret chuckle and shake his head. So it was an old friend. He still clearly remembered Mon Black''s voice.


    "What are you doing?" Ken Aina''s face turned deathly pale as she saw Blaze Regret bring his lips close to the communication shell.


    Ignoring Ken Aina, Blaze Regret extended his finger and lightly tapped the flashing pearl.


    "Mon Black, long time no see. It seems you miss me quite a bit," Blaze Regret said with a light laugh.


    Hearing this voice, Mon Black on the other end was clearly taken aback and didn''t respond for a while. All Blaze Regret could hear was the rustling of leaves.


    "Blaze Regret!"


    After a moment, Mon Black''s enraged voice burst forth, filled with chilling killing intent that was palpable even through the communication shell.


    "I''m right here. Whether you come or not is up to you," Blaze Regret said with a smile, his hand applying a bit of pressure, crushing the communication shell into powder.


    "Are you crazy? That''s Mon Black, a ninth tier warrior grade spirit master!" Ken Aina stared at the powder slipping through Blaze Regret''s fingers, a mix of fear and anger in her eyes.


    Who does this guy think he is? Offending the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group and not immediately running back to Veloria City to hide in the Blaze family. Instead, he actively provokes Mon Black. Does he really believe that just because he''s the young master of the Blaze family, everyone will show him respect?

    This is courting death!


    "Miss, who are you? You seem a bit familiar," Blaze Regret blinked and suddenly asked curiously.


    "You don''t know who I am, so why did you come out to save me?" Ken Aina was momentarily stunned, then became even more furious. Is this guy pretending to be dumb? With her appearance, ordinary people would definitely remember her after seeing her once. How could he not recall?


    "I just wanted to take down those scum from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Saving you was just incidental," Blaze Regret shrugged innocently. He really couldn''t remember who Ken Aina was. Although she had a unique aura, she was just average in his eyes, not worth remembering.


    "You!" Ken Aina''s chest heaved, her pretty face turning red with anger. Being frustrated in her most confident aspect dealt a heavy blow to her ego.


    "You''d better leave quickly. When Mon Black arrives, this place won''t be as peaceful as it is now," Blaze Regret crossed his arms and leaned against a tree trunk, closing his eyes lightly, unwilling to say more.


    "Let''s see how you die later!" Ken Aina stomped her foot in anger, put her Cold Star into her spirit portal, and walked away about ten meter, turning back to glare fiercely at Blaze Regret before stopping.


    Though she said that, she couldn''t bring herself to just leave. After all, Blaze Regret had just saved her. The curse she blurted out was merely said in a moment of anger.


    Biting her lip, Ken Aina hid behind a rock, waiting to see how things would unfold.


    "Hmm?" Blaze Regret slightly lifted his eyelids, looking at the rock where Ken Aina was hiding, a bit puzzled. But he quickly shook his head, closed his eyes again, and waited for Mon Black''s arrival.


    As the third leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, Mon Black was evidently much stronger than Aishi Graze. Ordinary ninth tier warrior grade spirit beasts didn''t have the strength to kill a Blazing Flame Elephant with a single punch. From his behavior that day, it was clear that he was also a ruthless character.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Before long, the tranquil forest started to shake with the sound of tremors. Red''s eyes turned serious as it looked into the distance. Its body was slightly trembling due to the vibrations of the ground.


    "Blaze Regret, come out here!"


    An angry roar echoed through the forest, lingering in the air for a long time.


    A sharp glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he muttered softly, "So, you''ve finally come. Since you are so eager to kill, I naturally can''t be too courteous either."


    "Whoosh!"


    A violent sound of breaking wind arose as a massive figure crashed through several ancient trees, charging forward. Its fierce fist struck a rock, shattering it into pieces that scattered like blossoms in the wind, sweeping towards Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Fighting Mon Black 2 (Bonus)

    With a cold glint in its fiery eyes, the Flame Cat Beast swung its tail continuously, sweeping away the flying debris, embedding them deep into the tree trunks. A wisp of white smoke gently rose.The suddenly appearing spirit beast had an extremely intimidating physique. Its body surface was covered in a layer of silver, sparkling brightly under the sunlight. Its head resembled a ferocious statue, and around its tightly clenched fists, a faint silver spiritual aura rippled.


    "A Colossal Statue?" Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling quite shaken.


    This was an extremely powerful spirit beast. When they were at the warrior level, their bodies appeared silver. As their strength gradually increased, golden spots would appear on their skin. It was said that the most formidable Colossal Statues shone with golden light all over, and with a single punch, they could shatter the heavens, an incredibly terrifying presence.


    Heavy footsteps sounded as the Colossal Statue moved slightly. Mon Black, with an icy expression, stepped out slowly from behind it. When he saw the corpses of Alex Yandy and others, a burst of violent killing intent surged from his eyes.

    "Kid, you sure have guts. Barely escaping with your life and yet you dare to come back. But it''s just as well. Someone like you who kills the innocent deserves to die by my hand," Mon Black said coldly, with a sinister smile.


    "If I didn''t come back, some people might not feel at ease. As for these people, all I can say is, they deserved to die," Blaze Regret smiled faintly, showing no signs of fear.


    "Sharp tongued, let''s see today whether your mouth is tougher or your bones are!" Mon Black sneered coldly.


    With a grasp of his hand, a cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Colossal Statue. It then suddenly charged forward, its heavy body making the ground thud loudly. Its clenched fist drew a silver arc as it struck towards the head of the Flame cat Beast.


    The powerful wind pressure from above made the Flame Cat Beast''s expression turn grave. It raised its tail, spiritual energy surging upwards, and blue flames ignited as it clashed with the Colossal Statue''s fist.


    "Boom!"


    At the moment of collision, the ground instantly collapsed, and an invisible force swept outwards. Cracks spread in all directions from the center where the Flame Cat Beast stood. The trees at the ends of the cracks were shattered into powder by the terrifying force contained within.


    As the energy dissipated, both spirit beasts remained motionless. The Colossal Statue''s fist pressed firmly against the Flame Cat Beast''s tail, causing the ground beneath it to continuously fracture.


    "Roar!"


    With a fierce glint in its eyes, the Flame Cat Beast flipped its body. The force generated by the Colossal Statue''s fist hitting the ground sent it flying several meters away.


    Expressionless, the Colossal Statue stood up straight and twisted its hand. Silver spiritual energy swirled around it, emitting a crisp creaking sound.


    It was clear that the earlier collision was merely a warm up for it. After a simple test, the Colossal Statue had gauged the Flame Cat Beast''s strength. At the seventh tier of the high warrior grade, based on past experience, a few more punches would suffice to kill it on the spot.


    "Kid, your progress is indeed fast, but being too rigid can lead to breaking. Today, let me teach you some lessons about life," Mon Black said with a bloodthirsty smile curling at the corner of his mouth.


    The Colossal Statue lifted its foot and then stomped heavily on the ground. Its body, carrying an overwhelming force, shot towards the Flame Cat Beast. The air in front of it wailed under the terrifying momentum.


    "Whoosh!"


    At the moment the Colossal Statue''s fist made contact, the Flame Cat Beast''s body split into two. Fire Spikes Ring appeared and whirled around the Colossal Statue''s body, emitting a shower of sparks.


    With a roar, the Colossal Statue swung its fists, the force within them knocking the Fire Spikes Ring away. It then turned its fists downward and struck the ground fiercely.


    "Air Pulse!"


    As Mon Black''s voice resounded, golden energy beams rapidly spread from under the Colossal Statue''s fist, tearing the ground into deep ravines and surging wildly.


    The Air Pulse, one of the Colossal Statue''s signature spirit techniques, could embed metal based spiritual energy underground to launch fast and elusive attacks against enemies.


    The Red Flame Beast''s figure flickered continuously as golden fissures shot past it. Any rocks touched by the Air Pulse shattered completely, and trees split in half as if struck by lightning.


    Watching the dodging Red Flame Beast, a cold gleam suddenly appeared in the Colossal Statue''s eyes. The last Air Pulse quickly gathered at its fist and shot out at an astonishing speed.


    At this moment, the Red Flame Beast''s escape route was completely sealed by two Air Pulses on either side, leaving it with no way to avoid the attack!


    "A continuous attack, huh? It''s really hard to dodge," Blaze Regret muttered with a hint of fierceness in his heavy voice. "Red, use the Flowing Flame Fan to shatter that Air Pulse!"


    The Flame Cat Beast nodded slightly. Intense flames rose from its tail, spreading out like a fiery fan, burning steadily.


    The Flowing Flame Fan was a fire based spirit technique Blaze Regret had won at the Hildan Arena. It was slightly more powerful than a single Fire Spike Ring but consumed very little spiritual energy, making it a formidable technique in battle.


    The Flame Cat Beast''s tail swept out fiercely, and the fiery fan clashed with the golden Air Pulse. With a loud bang, both forces were annihilated, vanishing instantly.


    "What a troublesome kid," Mon Black''s face turned grim. Blaze Regret''s tenacity was beyond his expectations.


    Watching the terrifying battle unfold, Ken Aina, hiding behind a rock, was already dumbfounded. She had assumed Blaze Regret would be defeated instantly by Mon Black but was shocked to see him holding his own for so long!

    "However, he''ll still lose in the end," Ken Aina shook her head gently. Mon Black was, after all, a ninth tier warrior grade spirit master. Despite Blaze Regret''s current advantage, it wouldn''t be long before he exhausted his spiritual energy, unable to compete with Mon Black''s overwhelming power.The Colossal Statue opened its mouth and exhaled a silver gas, then spread its hands. Violent spiritual energy began to gather in its palms.


    "Roar!"


    A roar, akin to that of a wild beast, emanated from the mouth of the Colossal Statue. In a flash of silver light, the cold faced Colossal Statue appeared before the Flame Cat Beast, its massive fist sweeping out with an oppressive gust of wind.


    On the Flame Cat Beast''s claws, two Fire Spike Rings materialized out of thin air. Under its control, they continuously clashed with the Colossal Statue''s relentless attacks.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks rapidly flickered on the battlefield. Blood marks began to appear on the Colossal Statue''s silver fists, while the firelight from the Fire Spike Rings gradually dimmed, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.


    "Kid, competing with me in spiritual power is your most foolish mistake. Don''t forget, you''re just a seventh tier warrior grade spirit master!" Mon Black sneered repeatedly, aiming to break Blaze Regret''s psychological defenses.


    "Yes, and besides, you still have a pack of lackeys trailing behind you."


    Sensing the approaching spiritual energy points in the distance, Blaze Regret shook his head helplessly. "I''ve kept you around this long merely to help stabilize the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat Beast''s seventh tier strength. Now that the goal is achieved, there''s no need to hold back."


    As he spoke, Blaze Regret''s palm slowly opened, and scorching spiritual energy surged and roiled within it, like magma about to erupt.


    Seeing the terrifying aura emanating from Blaze Regret''s palm, Mon Black''s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly recalling something, he couldn''t help but exclaim in shock, "A fire type attack spirit technique, Flame Domain!"


    The Flame Domain was a spirit technique that Blaze Regret forcefully exhibited in the Black Water River. It could transform into an incredibly scorching area of flames, entrapping the opponent in a roasting environment and severely weakening their state. Simultaneously, Blaze Regret''s spirit beast could continuously absorb fire attribute spiritual power from the Fire Domain.


    Although this spirit technique was extremely powerful, it also consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power. When Blaze Regret used it in the Black Water River, his spiritual power was almost entirely depleted in less than a breath.


    "I''d like to see how long you can last," Mon Black said coldly, his voice filled with intense killing intent. "The Colossal Statue, Spiral Blade Pillar!"


    With a punch, the The Colossal Statue split the Reds. The spiritual power within its body surged rapidly, gathering entirely in its hands. Silver energy roiled incessantly.


    "Snap!"


    The The Colossal Statue clapped its hands together, then suddenly parted them. Amidst the flickering silver light, a rotating silver pillar condensed. Sharp silver blades abruptly extended from the edge of the pillar, spinning wildly with the rotation of the pillar, resembling swirling streaks of light.


    Seeing the rotating blade pillar, Ken Aina behind the rock couldn''t help but feel numb. She remembered a time when a Ninth tier Nightwing Eagle accidentally intruded into Hildan Town and was instantly shredded into a blood mist by this spirit technique.

    One could imagine the immense destructive power of the The Colossal Statue''s Spiral Blade Pillar.


    "With my current strength, I can only sustain the Flame Domain for at most two breaths, but that will be enough," Blaze Regret murmured softly, the temperature in his palm growing even hotter to the point that the surrounding air appeared slightly distorted.


    The Reds and Blaze Regret were in sync, naturally understanding what needed to be done. So it nodded, taking a light step forward. Two blue fire spikes condensed in front of its body, rotating rapidly.

    At that moment, the The Colossal Statue also swung its massive hand. The silver Spiral Blade Pillar roared out, accompanied by a piercing wind, carving a deep trench into the hardened ground.


    "Woo!"


    The Red let out a low cry, and two fire spike rings shot out. The intense heat they emitted instantly incinerated the falling leaves in the air into ashes, which scattered in the wind.


    "Flame Domain!" Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with a sharp light. With a loud shout, a fire zone ten feet in diameter suddenly expanded from where his palm struck the ground. Wisps of flame rose from the ground, resembling a burning inferno.


    Caught in the fire zone, tiny flames began to burn on the silver spiral blade pillar, causing its rotation speed to decrease slightly. Although the change was not obvious, the rate at which the ground was being torn apart indicated the reduction.


    The two fire spike rings that had shot out were now enveloped in an even denser blue flame. With a clang, they merged into one, their aura intensifying. A blue light emerged around the fire spike ring, spinning rapidly with its rotation.


    Moments later, the merged fire spike ring collided heavily with the incoming spiral blade pillar.


    "Boom!"


    The tremendous explosion shook the surrounding trees, causing leaves to fall wildly. Before they could touch the ground, the aftershock of the explosion turned them to nothingness.


    On the ground, silver and blue energies intertwined. After a brief stalemate, the blue light, under Mon Black''s horrified gaze, crushed the silver energy and then surged towards the The Colossal Statue.


    Another crash resounded, and the space fell silent for a moment before the The Colossal Statue''s massive body was sent flying backward. It spewed blood in the air before crashing heavily into a rock.


    Countless cracks spread from its back. The The Colossal Statue glanced with difficulty at the still standing Red before collapsing to the side, its silver body covered in shattered bloodstains.


    In the distance, Ken Aina covered her rosy lips with her delicate hand, her bright eyes filled with shock.

    Blaze Regret smiled gently, bringing his fingers together as he slowly walked towards Mon Black. Blue flame like spiritual energy surged from his fingertips.


    "Heh, you little bastard. Your spirit beast used such a terrifying spirit skill, and you also used the Fire Domain. Let me guess, your spiritual energy must be less than ten percent now, right?" Despite Blaze Regret approaching him, Mon Black showed no fear. Instead, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    Blaze Regret took light steps forward, nodding slightly in acknowledgment. Power and consumption are directly proportional, and without a Qi Restoration Pill, he couldn''t quickly recover his spiritual energy. Thus, the spiritual energy within his first spirit portal was now extremely thin.


    "Then you can die now!"


    Mon Black laughed heartily, his foot stomping on the ground as his body shot backward. Several shadows swiftly descended from the sky, each possessing the strength of a mid level sixth tier warrior grade. Killing Blaze Regret, who had no spiritual energy left, would undoubtedly be effortless.


    "Swish!"


    With the rustling of leaves, several spirit hunters appeared. Judging by the emblems on their chests, it was clear they were all from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group!


    "Kill him for me!" Mon Black commanded sharply, pointing at Blaze Regret.


    Hearing this, the spirit hunters nodded. Their spirit beasts immediately flapped their thin wings, flying towards Blaze Regret. One after another, spirit techniques began to form rapidly in the air.


    These spirit masters were all wind attribute, known for their speed, and served as Mon Black''s life saving trump card.


    "You little bastard! Let''s see what tricks you can play now!" Mon Black laughed arrogantly, confident in his control of the situation.


    "Want to see a trick?" Blaze Regret took a step back and suddenly started to laugh as well.


    In an instant, a pale blue light shot out from behind him, resembling blade like ice wings that sliced through the bodies of the wind attribute spirit beasts.


    "Ding!"


    Returning to Blaze Regret''s side, the Ice Control Irenix gently flapped its flawless wings. Not far from them, blood mist exploded with a bang. The spirit hunters standing in the trees turned pale and all fell to the ground.


    Blood splattered on his face, and the sinister smile at the corner of Mon Black''s mouth instantly froze. He stared blankly at the Ice Control Irenix beside Blaze Regret, his mind feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.


    He had forgotten that this guy was a dual source spirit master. Even if the spiritual energy in his first spirit portal was exhausted, the energy in his second spirit portal remained unaffected!


    Escape!


    This word, which had never appeared in his mind before, now sprouted like wild grass, growing frantically.


    Thus, Mon Black hurriedly turned around, ignoring the spirit hunters lying on the ground wailing in pain, and desperately ran into the distance.


    "I said, is your memory really that bad?"


    However, to Mon Black''s despair, before he had run ten meter, a young face suddenly appeared beside him, smiling and staring at him intently.


    Seeing Mon Black''s panic, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned cold. Shards of ice formed into blades in his palm and gently slashed across Mon Black''s neck.


    With the Ice Control Irenix clutching his back, Blaze Regret turned around, the ice blades in his palm spinning before shooting out, mercilessly taking the lives of Mon Black''s subordinates.


    For those who wanted to kill him, Blaze Regret showed no mercy. He believed that if the roles were reversed, these members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would be even more ruthless than he was.


    Taking the void realms stone from Mon Black''s waist, Blaze Regret''s palm erupted with blue flames. The last of his spiritual energy surged out from his spirit portal, incinerating the bodies of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members until nothing remained. With a step, he disappeared from the scene.


    From behind a rock, Ken Aina slowly walked out. Looking at the ashes on the ground, her hand covering her mouth trembled slightly. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the eastern part of the Hildan Mountain Range, on the ridges of a peripheral area, warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating countless dazzling light spots on the slightly damp ground.


    Above that ground, clusters of verdant Bamboo Spirits swayed gently, their dense leaves rustling. The sturdy roots grasped firmly into the soil, absorbing its nutrients.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the tranquil cluster of Bamboo Spirits, a blue shadow suddenly flashed by, causing a commotion. The branches shook, and sharp bamboo leaves shot out towards the Red, but none of them even grazed it, all embedding into the soil instead.


    This scene kept playing out on the ridges.


    "Well done."


    Standing on a branch of a giant tree, Blaze Regret beamed as he patted the little head of the Red. He then placed a light green droplet, which the flame held in its sharp claws, into a small transparent bottle.


    Gently shaking the bottle and looking at the liquid that was already half full, a satisfied smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face.


    "Is this enough?" Blaze Regret asked expectantly, looking at Master Magi.


    "Almost," Master Magi nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, a half conical light shield enveloped the entire giant tree where Blaze Regret stood, clearing out the small spirit beasts hiding within.


    Blaze Regret exhaled softly, his eyes reflecting a hint of fervor. He opened his palm, revealing a jade green leaf resting quietly, emitting a faint fragrance.


    "It has to work," Blaze Regret murmured as he slowly poured the liquid from the bottle. Strangely, not a single drop spilled; instead, it enveloped the leaf like jelly, faintly trembling.


    Thank you for all that support me

 Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros

    Putting the small transparent bottle into the Void realms Stone, Blaze Regret changed the hand seal he was forming. The jade green leaf instantly began to glow with tiny points of fluorescent light. The liquid surrounding it seeped entirely into the leaf within moments.With his eyes tightly shut, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the tree trunk. The leaf hovered above his palm. Suddenly, in his darkened vision, a point of light emerged.


    The light gradually spread, revealing a black ground. Black mist drifted through the air, and a small beast, resembling a cabbage, lay on the ground, its body slightly rising and falling with each breath. The next moment, it lifted its tiny head in confusion, seemingly glancing at Blaze Regret. Then, it quickly burrowed into the soil.


    "Crack!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes snapped open. The leaf in his palm split down the middle and spiraled downwards, disintegrating into countless green light particles as it fell.


    "I saw it! It''s indeed a wood elemental mystical beast!" Blaze Regret exclaimed in surprise, looking at Master Magi. His voice was hoarse with excitement.


    More importantly, the location was incredibly familiar to him it was at the Bloodstone Pass of the Empire!


    "We should go right now!" Blaze Regret stood up, his face fervent.


    "We cannot," Master Magi shook his head.


    "Why not?" Blaze Regret asked, somewhat puzzled. It was a mystical beast; missing this chance would be a lifelong regret!


    "Young one, haste makes waste. I saw the scene as well. Didn''t you notice? That mystical beast has likely reached the lord grade. Not only is your strength insufficient to form a spirit contract, but capturing it would also be extremely difficult," Master Magi''s calm words made Blaze Regret''s fervor instantly dissipate.


    "So what should we do?" Blaze Regret asked helplessly, sitting back down.


    I have to admit, Master Magi''s words made sense. If mystical beasts were so easy to obtain, they wouldn''t exist only in legends. Their methods of escape are just as formidable as their reputation.


    Even a powerful Spirit Master might not be able to touch that wood elemental mystical beast.


    "There is a way, of course," Master Magi said, noticing Blaze Regret''s expectant look. He smiled and continued, "If we can find that missing page from the book, my strength will be restored significantly. At that time, capturing a lord grade wood elemental mystical beast won''t be difficult."


    "What if it runs away?" Blaze Regret asked worriedly.


    "Haha, rest assured. If I''m not mistaken, that mystical beast is at a critical breakthrough stage. It won''t be able to move far for at least six months. You should know that breaking through for a mystical beast is much more challenging than for an ordinary spirit beast," Master Magi laughed.


    "That''s good," Blaze Regret exhaled in relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He muttered, "A lord grade beast could turn the entire Veloria City upside down."


    "Consider yourself lucky. That wood elemental mystical beast is only at the lord level. When you reach around the seventh rank imperial grade as a Spirit Master, you can barely withstand its spiritual power. If that mystical beast were any stronger, not only you but even a Spirit Lord would face shattered spiritual portals," Master Magi said with deep feeling.


    "It seems I need to quickly improve my strength."


    Standing up, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with determination. No matter what, he must reach the seventh rank imperial grade as a Spirit Master within six months. Otherwise, even finding the mystical beast wouldn''t grant him the qualification to interact with it.


    "The primary task now is to refine the Qi Restoration Pill."


    Having made up his mind, Blaze Regret leapt down from the tree. After Master Magi removed the light barrier, he quickly left. The spirit beasts that had been forced to leave the giant tree cautiously glanced at Blaze Regret''s departing figure before swiftly rushing back to the treetop.

    The materials for refining the Qi Restoration Pill, besides Blue Inscription Grass, included the extremely rare Lava Fruit. The Lava Fruit grows on the Lava Fruit Tree, which is typically guarded by a spirit beast called the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    The Lava Fruit contains extremely violent fire attribute energy. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros crushes it, mixes it with soil, and applies it to the hard armor on its body to enhance the armor''s strength.


    "Is that a Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros?"


    Hiding behind a rock, Blaze Regret looked at the massive, mountain like figures in the distance, and his eyelid couldn''t help but twitch.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros is an earth attribute spirit beast that walks upright like a giant stone statue. Their bodies are covered in silver hard armor, which is exceptionally tough. A sharp horn grows from their small noses, gleaming brightly under the sunlight.


    Although their legs are short, their fists possess immense power. The thought of them swinging those fists made Blaze Regret''s scalp tingle.

    Shifting his gaze, Blaze Regret noticed a spirit tree about ten feet tall among the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros herd. The tree''s fiery red leaves bore red fruits that swayed gently in the breeze, emitting waves of violent spiritual energy.


    "Lava Fruit."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    On the rocky ground, a group of rock horn dragon rhinoceroses were quietly moving around in small areas. Occasionally, one would walk up to a lava fruit tree, tear off a lava fruit, crush it, grab a handful of soil, and smear the mixture on its body. In an instant, the silver armor of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros would emit a faint red glow, as if it had been tempered like steel.


    "These guys are much harder to deal with than the spirit bamboos," Blaze Regret sighed lightly as he looked at the strong bodied of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses. He had no doubt that even with Red''s speed, it would be impossible to get close to the lava fruit tree.

 Chapter 178: Chapter 178 Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros 2

    "Hehe, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros is a very irritable spirit beast. It is said that their single horn contains a trace of dragon blood, but over time, that trace of blood has long disappeared," Master Magi said with a smile.After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly flashed, and he whispered a few words to Red.


    Nodding its small head, Red moved swiftly and reappeared on a distant high rock, its blue eyes provocatively looking at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses below.


    "Kid, you''re playing with fire," Master Magi chuckled, seeming to know what Blaze Regret was up to.


    "Roar!"


    As soon as Master Magi finished speaking, Red on the high ground waved its small paw, and a fire spike ring shot out, continuously hitting the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses. Bright sparks erupted from their silver armor.


    An angry roar was heard as a Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros reached out and crushed the fire spike ring. Then, like a charging beast, it stomped its foot and rushed towards Red with blood red eyes.


    In an instant, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros herd went into a frenzy. All the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses roared and followed, making the entire ground rumble. The small rocks on the ground near Blaze Regret lightly jumped from the vibrations.


    "Go!"


    Seeing the nearly empty rocky ground, Blaze Regret cautiously waited for a moment, then flames surged under his feet as he quickly dashed out, secretly delighted in his heart. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Fortunately, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses aren''t very clever. Otherwise, even a spirit beast of the imperial grade wouldn''t be able to survive their ferocious attacks.


    As Blaze Regret reached the lava fruit tree, he was filled with joy. With the Qi Recovery Pill, he wouldn''t have to worry much about running out of spiritual power in the future. Your next journey awaits at mvl


    "Roar!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s hand was about to touch a lava fruit, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the air. A powerful gust of wind shot towards him from a distance.


    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret stomped on the ground and quickly retreated.


    With a loud bang, a rock crashed down where Blaze Regret had just been standing, embedding itself deep into the ground. Cracks spread out from the impact point in all directions.


    His eyes slightly heavy, Blaze Regret looked into the distance. A figure, larger than the other Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses, stood on a rock, glaring at him coldly.


    This figure was as solid as a rock, with gleaming silver armor. Even from a distance, Blaze Regret could feel the strength in its fists. This Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was far more terrifying than the giant fortress like ones!


    "The leader of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros tribe," Blaze Regret murmured, his heart sinking slightly.


    Clearly, this Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was the strongest in the area. Conservatively estimated, it was at least a mid level third tier imperial grade, with incredibly formidable strength.


    A pale blue magic array rapidly formed in front of Blaze Regret, and the Ice Control Irenix appeared, gently flapping its wings.


    Blaze Regret and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros locked eyes coldly. Suddenly, Blaze Regret grinned and opened his palm. The lava fruits on the tree were swiftly pulled into his grasp by the force of his palm.


    "Roar!"


    An enraged roar came from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. It reached out and grabbed a massive rock, hurling it fiercely at Blaze Regret. The whistling wind echoed incessantly.


    "Ice Control Irenix, stall it!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret store the lava fruits into the void realm stone, the Ice Control Irenix gently nodded. With a wave of its icy wings, a cold surge emerged, conjuring an ice mirror. Subsequently, numerous ice mirrors rapidly appeared, blocking the incoming huge rock.


    When the rock struck the first ice mirror, it seemed to encounter no resistance, shattering it effortlessly. The rock then continued through several more ice mirrors, shattering them into countless transparent shards that scattered in all directions.


    "Boom!"


    The Ice Control Irenix folded its wings, colliding with the massive rock. Under the immense force, it rapidly retreated. Then, it unfolded its wings like a guillotine, slicing the rock into two halves.


    "That''s enough, let''s go!"


    Having collected most of the lava fruits from the tree, Blaze Regret felt a tingling in his scalp as he looked at the shards of ice mirrors on the ground. This was just a casual strike from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and it was already so terrifying. He could hardly imagine the destruction if it used a spirit technique.


    Moreover, if the Ice Control Irenix''s body hadn''t been reinforced by the Ice Lake Stone Flower, it would have been shattered to pieces by the rock.


    "Bang!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret and the Ice Control Irenix trying to escape, a cold glint flashed in the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes. It stomped heavily on the ground, shattering the rocks, and charged forward with explosive speed.


    Even the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group wouldn''t dare to encroach on the territory of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros because they knew very well just how terrifying an enraged Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros could be.


    And this one was the leader!


    "Ice Shard Blade!"


    While desperately running, Blaze Regret swung his hand, sending out a sharp ice blade. However, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros casually grabbed it, shattering it instantly.


    "This is way too strong!" Blaze Regret lamented inwardly. If he had known there was a leader among the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses, he wouldn''t have come, even at the risk of death. But now that he had started, he had to see it through to the end.


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret sidestepped just in time, narrowly avoiding a massive rock that whizzed past him and crashed into a row of giant trees.


    Feeling the searing pain, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth and deliberately squeezed through narrow gaps. Behind him, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with a sinister glint in its eyes, continuously swung its fists, toppling one giant tree after another.

 Chapter 179: Chapter 179 Escape

    Ignoring the dust clinging to him, Blaze Regret pushed his Flame Step to its limit, his body moving as agilely as a monkey. He dashed through the trees at high speed, leaving blackened footprints on the trunks with his flaming soles. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."There''s a barrier ahead," Master Magi suddenly spoke.


    "Is there a way to break through it?" Blaze Regret urgently asked, feeling anxious. This time there was no Black Water River to jump into, and even if there was, he didn''t want to experience the terror of being chased by the Black water Flood Dragoon again.


    "Of course. You need to find a way to stall the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros for a moment, and I will break the barrier," Master Magi smiled and began forming hand seals. A golden ripple gradually spread out.


    "Roar!"


    Red leaped down from the treetops, having apparently shaken off the pursuit of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros herd. Its blue eyes were fixed fiercely on the charging Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "In that case, let''s see if we can hold it off."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes hardened as he opened his second spirit portal. The Ice Control Irenix flew out, surrounded by brilliant ice crystals that slowly rotated around its body.


    As they watched the Red and the Ice Control Irenix, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros slowed its frenzied pace. A thick sense of mockery emerged in its eyes. Suddenly, it stepped forward, clenched its right fist, and gathered spiritual power, creating a gust of oppressive wind aimed fiercely at the lower ranked Red.


    "Ice Prism!"


    With a soft shout from Blaze Regret, the Ice Control Irenix''s wings vibrated rapidly, creating layer upon layer of ice mirrors in front of the Red. The bright sheen emanated a chilling aura.


    With a crack, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist shattered the ice mirrors instantly, while two Fire Spike Ring that had formed in front of the Red''s claws slashed mercilessly at its head.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes darkened slightly. It crossed its arms, and the sharp Fire Spike Ring frantically cut into its arms but failed to leave any marks.


    "Ding!"


    Seeing that the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros easily blocked the Fire Spike Ring, the Ice Control Irenix flew out. Its spread wings gleamed coldly as it slashed down angrily.


    With a disdainful snort, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros punched the Fire Spike Ring away. As the Ice Control Irenix was about to reach it, it suddenly opened its hand and effortlessly grabbed the Ice Control Irenix''s icy wings.


    "Boom!"


    A cold light flashed in its eyes as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros grabbed the Ice Control Irenix''s wings and smashed it down towards the ground. A pale blue light streaked out as the Ice Control Irenix''s wings carved a long crack into the ground, creating a trail of dust until it embedded into a giant tree, finally coming to a stop.


    The Ice Control Irenix moved slightly, drawing its wings out from the tree trunk. Its previously dull face gradually became savage. Its wings flapped continuously, conjuring ice blades in midair that, with a chilling wind, enveloped the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Looking at the slightly shattered wings of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret''s face grew colder. The strength of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros had exceeded his expectations. It was important to know that the Ice Control Irenix, enhanced by the Ice Lake Stone Flower, was far more powerful than before.


    "Master Magi, is it ready yet?" Blaze Regret turned his gaze, his voice thick with urgency.


    "Ten more breaths," Master Magi replied sternly, light patterns flowing between his hands.


    Turning back, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth. A blazing flame surged from his palm, instantly raising the temperature of the area significantly.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s actions, the Ice Control Irenix clearly understood his intent. It immediately unleashed all its power, icy cold air frantically emanating from its body. Between its wings, it formed a pale blue ice wheel, with bits of ice orbiting its frosty edges.


    The Shattered Ice Wheel was a spiritual skill that the Ice Control Irenix could only comprehend at the eighth rank. Its destructive power was no less than that of the combined fire spike rings.


    With a flap of its wings, the Ice Control Irenix sent the Shattered Ice Wheel slashing out, leaving a trail of icy mist that lingered in the air.


    "Flame Domain!"


    Blaze Regret shouted in a low voice, slamming his palm onto the ground. The fire spike rings formed by the blaze expanded rapidly, creating a blue light trail that roared towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Roar!"


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped on the ground, sending dust rippling outwards. It tightly clenched its fist and punched forward with immense force, causing the space in front of it to seemingly shatter.


    A loud boom echoed as cracks spread across the ground beneath the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. Despite the combined full force attack of the Ice Control Irenix and the Red, it failed to leave even a scratch on its fist.


    "Hiss!" Discover hidden content at §Þ??


    Staring at the silver fist of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Blaze Regret took a sharp breath. This spirit beast was unbelievably terrifying. Unless the Ice Control Irenix and Red advanced to the Imperial Grade, they had no chance of defeating it even if they joined forces!


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros stepped lightly on the ground and walked over with an indifferent gaze. Its sweeping tail crushed every rock it touched into powder.


    "Kid, get out of here!"


    At that moment, Master Magi''s voice finally rang out. A look of wild joy appeared on Blaze Regret''s face the damned barrier had finally been broken!


    Quickly retreating, Blaze Regret stored the Red and Ice Control Irenix into the spirit portal. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros seemed to realize something and rushed over. Even from a distance, its tail swept across with a violent gust of wind.

 Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Dragon Bloodline

    Feeling the fierce wind heading towards him, Blaze Regret clenched his palm, and a jade green Turtle Spirit Armor appeared in front of him, colliding with the tail of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros."Boom!"


    A massive force transmitted through the Turtle Spirit Armor. Blaze Regret spat out a mouthful of blood mist and was sent flying backward. The barrier in front of him closed, isolating the charging Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros outside.


    Its gigantic fists pounded the barrier like a storm, sending tangible ripples across its surface, resembling golden water waves.


    "It won''t come through, will it?" Blaze Regret wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking softly with lingering fear.


    "Don''t worry," Master Magi said in a deep voice. "Though I''m unsure who set up this barrier, even a lord grade spirit beast would find it difficult to break through."


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret straightened up. Just as he was about to look away from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, his pupils suddenly contracted. He saw the Rhinoceros'' fist slowly pressing into the barrier, creating a noticeable arc.


    On its fist, a faint silver dragon shadow could be seen roaring!


    "Atavism!" Master Magi''s face showed a hint of shock.


    "Atavism?" Blaze Regret took a few steps back, his voice dry. If that behemoth broke through, it wouldn''t be as easy to handle as before.


    "I didn''t expect that this Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros really has dragon blood in its veins," Master Magi''s eyes were somewhat fervent, looking at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros as if it were a rare treasure.


    "It won''t break through, right?" Blaze Regret smiled bitterly. He wasn''t interested in the dragon bloodline of the Rhinoceros; he just wanted to escape quickly.


    "Of course not. Tsk, tsk, what a pity. If your third spirit portal were open, I would spare no expense to capture this Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. Dragon blood, true dragon blood," Master Magi shook his head regretfully.


    "Boom!"


    After another blow to the barrier, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros glared icily at Blaze Regret for a moment before finally turning away reluctantly.


    "Do dragons really exist in this world..."


    Staring at the dragon shaped imprint on the barrier, Blaze Regret murmured softly. The fact that Master Magi valued it so highly was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. If even a trace of dragon blood was so powerful, a true dragon would be even more formidable.


    "There are indeed two dragons on this continent. However, one doesn''t meddle in worldly affairs, while the other, just after it appeared, I put a bloody hole in it," Master Magi chuckled.


    Discover exclusive content at §Þ??


    "Yeah, right," Blaze Regret rolled his eyes at Master Magi and then walked away.


    "I knew you wouldn''t believe me," Master Magi''s mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at the retreating figure of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros and then followed Blaze Regret, sighing regretfully along the way.


    In the silent forest, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on a rock, gazing at the alchemy cauldron in front of him. A slight twinge in his heart, and a slightly bluelish flame emerged from his palm. With a wave of his hand, the flame fell into the cauldron and slowly started to burn.


    This time, refining the Qi Replenishing Pill was undoubtedly much easier compared to the last time. He barely consumed any spiritual power, and dozens of perfectly round Qi Replenishing Pills were condensed in the cauldron.


    "Whoo!"


    Exhaling a breath of white air, Blaze Regret smiled faintly as he stored the Qi Replenishing Pills into the Void Realm Stone. When he saw the dried bloodstains on his chest, he couldn''t help but frown. The power of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros was truly terrifying. Even with the protection of the Mystic Turtle Spirit Armor, his injuries were still quite serious.


    After wandering in the forest for half a day, Blaze Regret finally found a tree hollow and temporarily settled in. It seemed that the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunting Group was surely searching for him everywhere. Until he fully recovered, it was best not to run around recklessly. After all, dealing with Mon Black was already somewhat strenuous.


    If he encountered Mon Dark and Mon Den again, it would be a dead end. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No water left, and the bloodstains on my body need to be dealt with too."


    Licking his slightly dry lips, Blaze Regret leaped to the top of the tree, scanning his surroundings. His gaze finally settled on a bright spot. It was already night time, and the only thing that could reflect such light must be a lake!


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret excitedly descended to the ground and hurriedly rushed towards the bright spot.


    Under the moonlight, Blaze Regret cautiously observed the lake through the gaps in the leaves. When he saw that the clean lake water didn''t even have the shadow of a spirit beast, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    "Really got scared by the Black water Flood Dragon."


    Shaking his head in self mockery, Blaze Regret took off his clothes and jumped into the lake. The cool lake water helped clear his slightly groggy head from the injuries.


    "Something feels off here." Master Magi frowned in thought for a moment, then a faint, sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    "What is it?" Blaze Regret released the Red, wiped its claws, and looked up at Master Magi in confusion.


    "I can''t say." Master Magi smiled and shook his head, then asked, "What are your plans next?"


    "Train, and then find an opportunity to take out Mon Star." Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with determination as he spoke fiercely.


    "That sounds good. However, recently, I have been sensing that page from the book more strongly. It might not be long before my true form can recover partially," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "That means we can go after that Wood type Mystic Beast." Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up.

 Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Reversed

    "The Mystic Beast is great, but that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros is also quite impressive," Master Magi said, clicking his tongue in regret. He couldn''t forget that ancestral Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros."No way, I''m afraid it will kill me." Blaze Regret waved his hand in fear. That was a monster, and even Mon Black''s Colossal Statue would probably be smashed into a pile of meat if it approached it.


    After speaking, Blaze Regret submerged himself in the water, enjoying the rare tranquility.


    Just as Blaze Regret surfaced again, a slight rustling sound caught his attention. His face stiffened, and his mouth opened slightly. Beside him, the Red buried its head underwater.


    On the shore, a young girl dressed in a black dress stood gracefully. As her snow white hand waved, her waterfall like black hair cascaded down to her waist. Her slightly immature yet charming face, enhanced by her ethereal temperament, added an inexplicable charm.


    "Isn''t this too clich¨¦d..."


    At this moment, Blaze Regret had no time to appreciate the elegance of the girl who resembled a black lotus. Instead, he felt a bit bitter inside. He finally understood what was wrong. How could this lake be so clean unless it was owned by someone!


    The girl casually unbuttoned her dress, sweeping her gaze around. Her hand suddenly froze, and a hint of anger slowly rose on her cold face.


    "Let me explain!" Blaze Regret hurriedly stood up from the water but then suddenly remembered something, blushing and squatting back down immediately.


    "You''re courting death!" The girl bit her silver teeth and waved her jade like hand. A jelly like water type spirit beast floated in mid air, and then water arrows shot out from its body.


    "It''s a misunderstanding!" Blaze Regret quickly retrieved a set of clean clothes from the Void Realm Stone. Ignoring his wet body, he dressed as fast as he could, then leaped up, turning the lake water beneath his feet into ice.


    "Pervert!" The girl finally found a word to curse him with after holding back for a long time. She glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, her glass like eyes filled with anger.


    "I really didn''t do it on purpose!" Blaze Regret''s figure flashed, dodging the water arrows. He felt like crying without tears. What kind of situation was this? Weren''t those stories about seeing beauties bathing? How come it was completely reversed!


    The lake water quickly turned to ice under his feet as Blaze Regret fled in the opposite direction without looking back. An icy path formed behind him.


    "An ice type spirit master, trying to out speed me in water?" The girl''s eyes turned cold as she jumped into the lake. The water beneath her feet spun rapidly and then transformed into a water column that carried her towards Blaze Regret.


    "Master Magi, Master Magi!" Blaze Regret called out frantically in his heart, but Master Magi in the Void Realm Stone seemed to be asleep, unresponsive no matter how many times he called.


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched as he glanced at the rising water column behind him. His eye twitched too. He didn''t even have a reason to attack the girl, and even if he did, he couldn''t win!


    The girl, who looked even younger than him, was a genuine Imperial grade spirit master!


    In normal circumstances, Blaze Regret would be amazed, but now he had no time for such thoughts. If this continued, his life would be in danger. It was clear the girl had real killing intent!


    Discover hidden content at §Þ??


    "Water Izze, use Water Swirl to bring him down!"


    The girl''s clear voice echoed. The water type spirit beast beside her immediately drew a deep blue magic circle. As the circle emerged, a whirlpool began to spin madly under Blaze Regret''s feet, trapping him in its center.


    "Flame Step!"


    Blaze Regret stomped on the ice with all his might, launching himself upward in an attempt to escape the whirlpool''s range. However, a faint smirk of mockery appeared on the girl''s lips.


    "Splosh!"


    The swirling vortex of water suddenly expanded, releasing a powerful suction force. Just as Blaze Regret jumped up, he fell back into the water with a splash. As he struggled to stand up again, a sharp, cold gleam suddenly slashed towards him.


    "Try running again if you can," the girl said, holding a long sword made of water waves against Blaze Regret''s throat. Her beautiful eyes were filled with icy coldness.


    Feeling the cold temperature at his throat, Blaze Regret''s face turned slightly pale. Before leaving Veloria City, he had already anticipated that his life could be in danger at any moment, but he never imagined that he would die at the hands of a young girl.


    Moreover, it was under the circumstance of being seen naked.


    "What exactly do you want?" Blaze Regret chuckled bitterly, seemingly giving up all resistance.


    "I¡­" The black clad girl frowned slightly, her glass like eyes filled with struggle. Several times, she wanted to thrust the water sword in her hand, but each time it touched Blaze Regret''s throat, she pulled it back.


    "I¡­ I will gouge out your eyes!" The girl seemed to finally come up with an idea, waving the water sword in front of Blaze Regret''s eyes, resembling a little girl throwing a tantrum. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hey, are you mistaken? You saw me, not the other way around." Blaze Regret could only smile wryly.


    "Say that again!" The girl''s pretty face turned cold, and the water sword in her hand began to shake violently.


    "There''s something underwater!" Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s expression changed, and he pointed at the lake, shouting loudly.


    "Liar!" The girl stared at Blaze Regret, not believing him, but the next moment, two fiery red beams of light broke through the surface of the water, shooting straight at the girl''s chest.


    Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she extended her hand, and a wall of water formed in front of her. The two beams of fire dissipated automatically just before they hit the water wall.

 Chapter 182: Chapter 182 David Chen

    "I''ll kill you!"Dismissing the water wall, the girl glared at Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, her pretty face turning livid as she furiously swung her water sword. Instantly, clear water columns surged up from the lake.


    ...


    "So close, I almost lost my life," Blaze Regret said, lying on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, speeding thousands of feet away. After confirming that no one was chasing him, he finally let out a heavy breath.


    "Exciting, wasn''t it?" Master Magi appeared, looking at Blaze Regret with a smiling expression.


    "Exciting my foot! Why didn''t you warn me earlier?" Blaze Regret angrily glared at Master Magi. This guy must have sensed the girl''s presence long ago, which is why he suddenly returned to the Void Realm Stone. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have experienced the previous scene.


    "Calm down, you were seen anyway," Master Magi shrugged helplessly, looking regretful.


    "You¡­" Blaze Regret picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at Master Magi with all his strength.


    "Stop fooling around." Master Magi caught the rock effortlessly and said with a light smile, "If I sensed correctly, that little girl controls a water attribute Mystic Beast."


    "A mystic Beast?" The rock Blaze Regret was holding fell to the ground with a thud, and he stared at Master Magi in shock. Did he hear that right? That girl actually had a mystic Beast?


    "Yes, and it''s one of the higher ranked ones in the mystic Beast Record," Master Magi nodded with a smile.


    Blaze Regret''s throat tightened as he glanced back. Although the Mystic Beast Record doesn''t rank beasts purely by strength, those at the top are certainly rarer. What kind of background does that girl have to control such a Mystic Beast at her age?


    "Feeling defeated?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret with a grin.


    "A bit," Blaze Regret admitted, shrugging helplessly. He had fought the Black water Flood Dragon alone for an elusive Mystic Beast and almost got killed by its tail, while a girl younger than him already controlled one.


    "Well, there''s nothing you can do about it. She has a strong backing. But for now, we can''t go back to that place. Let''s find somewhere to stay for the night," Master Magi said with a light smile and then retreated back into the Void realms Stone.


    When Blaze Regret woke up from his sleep, it was already morning. Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining on his face.


    Stretching, Blaze Regret sat on a tree branch, feeling sore all over. After a while, he jumped to the ground, wincing at the pain in his chest.


    "The injury from the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros seems to be getting worse."


    Clutching his chest, Blaze Regret muttered to himself. Last time, he was injured by the Black water Flood Dragon and wasted several days. This time, he couldn''t let history repeat itself.


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret paused. At the edge of the Medicine Emperor Seed in his mind, a tiny sprout emerged, bringing with it a vast amount of information.


    "The Medicine Emperor Seed is changing?" Master Magi was slightly surprised.


    "Information about some low level spiritual herbs has appeared: White Lily Grass, Spirit Gathering Fruit. They should be in this forest. Let''s find them!" Blaze Regret''s face lit up with joy. The changes in the Medicine Emperor Seed undoubtedly deepened his understanding of spiritual herbs.


    White Lily Grass and Spirit Gathering Fruit could quickly heal a spiritual master''s injuries and were relatively easy to find. A few more rounds in the Hildan Mountain Range, and he would surely discover them.


    Along the way, Blaze Regret took down several waves of Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members, feeling a bit heavy hearted. It seemed Mon Dark was determined to eliminate him this time, sending these members to their deaths even though they knew they couldn''t defeat him.


    Standing on a huge rock, Blaze Regret looked down below, suddenly delighted. At the bottom of the valley, a lush small tree grew. This small tree was entirely emerald green, like exquisite jade. Among its branches and leaves, a faint white color appeared. Even from a distance, Blaze Regret could smell its refreshing fragrance.


    However, around the Spirit Gathering Fruit tree, seven or eight spirit hunters were commanding their spirit beasts to attack a golden lion. Read new chapters at §Þ??


    That golden lion, known as the Golden Armored Sword Lion, was an eighth tier medium level warrior grade. Even fighting alone, each swing of its claws sent a spirit beast flying. It was clear that the defeat of those spirit hunters was only a matter of time.


    "Muk Karthik?" Blaze Regret frowned as he looked at the figure below. Initially, he planned to sit back and let the Golden Armored Sword Lion defeat those spirit hunters before stepping in to seize the Spirit Gathering Fruit. But with the appearance of someone he knew, he had to abandon that idea.


    At the bottom of the valley.


    Surrounding the Golden Armored Sword Lion, several Cloud Sand Leopards watched it cautiously. In their open mouths, sand spears formed and then shot out, landing on the Golden Armored Sword Lion with crisp collision sounds.


    "Why is this beast so hard to deal with!"


    The leading man, his face icy cold, stared at the Golden Armored Sword Lion. He initially thought that their combined efforts would easily take it down, but the lion''s defensive power far exceeded their expectations.


    "David chen, we should retreat," Muk Karthik said with a bitter smile, standing in front of a thorn tree with several broken branches.


    "Retreat? The Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group really is cowardly," David Chen sneered dismissively.


    "Roar!"


    At that moment, the body of the Golden Armored Sword Lion suddenly radiated a brilliant glow, and for a moment, it seemed to eclipse the sunlight. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Return Kindness with Enmity

    The Golden Armor Sword Lion roared towards the sky, and the golden fur on its body started to grow bit by bit at this moment, with its aura suddenly increasing significantly."Eighth rank." The present spirit hunters felt a chill in their hearts. They already struggled to handle the seventh tier Golden Armor Sword Lion, and after it advanced, there was no chance of victory!


    The Golden Armor Sword Lion lowered its head, its gaze sweeping around coldly. With a slight step forward of its front paw, six golden swords of light appeared around it, rotating slowly and emitting an extremely sharp aura.


    "Not good!" David Chen''s pupils contracted slightly.


    The Golden Armor Sword Lion''s body shook, and the six golden swords of light whistled out one after another. Any Cloud Sand Leopards they grazed spat blood and retreated. One of them was directly pierced through and nailed to a rock, losing its vitality on the spot.

    "Roar!"


    With another roar, six more golden swords of light condensed around the Golden Armor Sword Lion, rotating and emitting a crisp sword sound.


    "It''s over!" Several spirit hunters showed despair on their faces. Their Cloud Sand Leopards didn''t even have a chance to resist in front of the Golden Armor Sword Lion. Given its ruthless nature, it would certainly dissembel them all.

    With a cold gaze, the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s eyes fell on Muk Karthik. Among all the spirit hunters present, he was the weakest, naturally making him the easiest target.


    "Thorn Tree, defend!" Seeing that the Golden Armor Sword Lion had locked onto him, Muk Karthik''s face turned pale, and a sense of despair filled his heart.


    "Whoosh!"


    The six golden swords whistled towards him. Just as they were about to pierce through the thorn tree''s trunk, an icy aura suddenly enveloped the area. Then, with several crisp sounds, the dazzling swords shattered completely.


    "Who?" David Chen''s eyes filled with joy; no matter who it was, they were saved today!


    "Blaze Regret?" Muk Karthik saw the figure descending from the sky, a look of incredulity flashing in his eyes. Wasn''t this guy supposed to have fallen into the Black water River? How could he still be alive!


    After cautiously sizing up David Chen and the others, Muk Karthik breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group had just returned from outside and didn''t know what Blaze Regret looked like. Otherwise, if the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group found out, Blaze Regret might be in danger.


    "Step aside, I''ll handle this Golden Armor Sword Lion."


    Blaze Regret walked up to Muk Karthik, smiling faintly. The Ice Control Irenix circling in the sky suddenly swooped down, its sharp icy wings surrounded by a chilling aura, slashing down violently.


    "Clang!"


    The Golden Armor Sword Lion raised its sharp claws, attempting to tear the Ice Control Irenix''s wings apart. However, the pain that surged through it made its heart skip a beat, and it quickly retreated.


    "Where do you think you''re going?"


    Blaze Regret''s calm voice echoed as the Ice Control Irenix flapped its wings, releasing a dense cold air. In front of it, an ice wheel about ten feet in diameter formed. With a swishing sound, the ice wheel flew out, aiming to slash down on the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s head.


    "Roar!"


    Anger surged in its eyes as the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s body shuddered. Six golden swords of light surrounded it, rising and forming a magnificent sword wheel. The sword wheel clashed with the ice wheel.


    "Clang!"


    The sound of metal clashing resounded. The flawless ice wheel shattered largely under the impact of the golden sword wheel. However, the sword wheel exploded on the spot.


    After a brief pause, the damaged ice wheel, carrying an icy chill, slashed down. A crack appeared on the seemingly tough body of the Golden Armor Sword Lion.


    With a painful roar, the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s eyes filled with fear. It immediately turned around and fled towards the distance without looking back.


    Watching the once majestic Golden Armor Sword Lion fall in an instant, the spirit hunters present all widened their eyes in shock. Their gazes towards Blaze Regret now carried a hint of wariness.


    "Thank you, little brother!" David Chen quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists in gratitude.


    "No problem..." Blaze Regret had just begun to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He covered his mouth with his hand, and a trace of blood seeped through his fingers.


    "Are you alright?" Muk Karthik asked nervously.


    With a bitter smile, Blaze Regret waved his hand. He sighed inwardly, knowing that the injuries caused by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros hadn''t healed yet. During last night''s escape, he had used a lot of spiritual power, aggravating his injuries. So, whenever he used the spiritual power within his spirit Portal, a piercing pain surged through him.


    Seeing the blood on Blaze Regret''s hand, David Chen''s eyes narrowed, and a trace of coldness flashed deep within his eyes.


    "You''re injured, little brother?" David Chen asked slowly.


    "A minor injury." Blaze Regret frowned inwardly. From David Chen''s expression, he sensed a hint of malice. Although he maintained a smile on his face, a sense of caution had already arisen within him.


    David Chen glanced at the Ice Control Irenix. Noticing that its right wing was somewhat damaged, a smirk appeared on his lips, further solidifying his thoughts.


    "Let me introduce you. These are members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group. This is their leader, David Chen, a seventh rank warrior tier spirit master," Muk Karthik said softly. It was evident that he held some fear towards David Chen.


    "Why is it the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group? What about the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?" Blaze Regret asked, his brows furrowed. Could it be that something had happened to the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?


    "Our leader took some people out of Hildan Town a few days ago."


    Sorry for late upadte and Thanks you for support me.

 Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Return Kindness with Enmity 2

    Muk Karthik shook his head with a bitter smile and whispered, "The Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group has long been displeased with us. Among the many spirit hunting groups in Hildan Town, we are the only ones who refused to pay tribute. So, on that day in the Hildan Arena, Mon Black intended to kill Yun Suhaila on stage, forcing Uncle Yun Anuar to resist.They would then use this as an excuse to wipe out the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed, and the self blame in his heart diminished significantly. It seemed that the current situation of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group was the result of long term scheming by Mon Dark and others, unrelated to him.


    While Blaze Regret and Muk Karthik were talking, David Chen had already walked to the Spirit Gathering Fruit Tree. After a moment''s thought, he picked a Spirit Gathering Fruit and smiled, saying, "Little brother, thank you for your help. Consider this Spirit Gathering Fruit as a token of my gratitude." Discover more stories at M V L


    Seeing the dozens of Spirit Gathering Fruits on the tree, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. Moments ago, it was a rescue, but now it had turned into mere assistance. Clearly, David Chen wanted to downplay the life saving favor he owed.


    "Why?" Blaze Regret asked calmly. Even if all the Spirit Gathering Fruits were given to him, it would be justifiable, especially since they were currently ownerless. So, what right did David Chen have to offer one as a token of gratitude?


    Moreover, it was just one out of dozens.


    "Little brother, although we are grateful for your help, even without you, we could have easily handled the Golden Armor Sword Lion," David Chen said with a cheerful shrug. Behind him, several spirit hunters glared menacingly as a group of Cloud Sand Leopards slowly surrounded Blaze Regret.


    Several Cloud Sand Leopards surrounded Blaze Regret. Their open mouths faintly emitted spiritual energy, causing the atmosphere to instantly turn tense.


    "David Chen, what are you trying to do?" Muk Karthik''s face turned anxious. Though he had long known that this leader of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group was no good, he never expected him to be this shameless.


    Not only did he show no gratitude, but he also wanted to attack Blaze Regret, who had saved them!


    "Young brother, this Spirit Gathering Fruit is a token of gratitude for your help earlier. Please leave now; our Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group has some matters to attend to," David Chen said with a smile.


    If Blaze Regret were in peak condition, David Chen wouldn''t have entertained such ideas. But since Blaze Regret was heavily injured, he had fewer concerns. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What if I refuse?" Blaze Regret looked at David Chen and said calmly.


    "Please don''t make this difficult for us," David Chen replied with a helpless smile. With a wave of his hand, the Cloud Sand Leopards'' mouths began to churn with energy. At his command, all their attacks would rain down on Blaze Regret.


    At that moment, even if Blaze Regret didn''t die, he would be gravely injured!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly turned around.


    "That''s more like it," David Chen sneered, and several spirit hunters behind him laughed out loud.


    "Are you fucking overconfident or what!"


    As Blaze Regret walked away, he suddenly turned back, his tightly clenched fist generating a violent whooshing sound as it smashed into David Chen''s face.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones breaking echoed. David Chen''s pupils contracted, and his body was sent flying backward. A mouthful of thick blood, mixed with a few teeth, spurted out.


    "Kill him for me!" David Chen, holding his twisted face, slightly disbelieved that Blaze Regret had actually dared to strike. He then shouted loudly.


    As David Chen''s words fell, beams of energy shot out from the mouths of the Cloud Sand Leopards, surging toward the central position where Blaze Regret stood.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Prism!"


    With its light blue wings flapping, the Ice Control Irenix swooped down. Transparent ice mirrors formed around Blaze Regret. When the energy beams struck the ice prisms, they merely quivered before dissipating.


    "How is this possible!" David Chen''s face turned slightly grim. The Ice Control Irenix was injured too, so how could it still generate such sturdy ice mirrors?


    "Attack its right wing!" David Chen''s expression hardened as he pointed to the ice wing that had been shattered by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Immediately, the Cloud Sand Leopards raised their heads, and beams of earth yellow energy shot out, attacking the Ice Control Irenix from a distance.


    Blaze Regret merely smirked mockingly in response.


    As the energy beams approached, the Ice Control Irenix hovered in mid air, gently flapping its flawless ice wings, showing no intention of defending itself. Seeing this, David Chen''s heart leaped with joy.


    "Boom!"


    The energy beams struck the Ice Control Irenix, and a cloud of earth yellow energy spread out like a ring, enveloping the Ice Control Irenix''s figure.


    "Did we succeed?" David Chen was overjoyed. He then glared venomously at Blaze Regret, thinking to himself that he would soon break Blaze Regret''s limbs and throw him into the Giant Pincer Ant nest to suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of ants.


    As the cloud of yellow energy gradually dissipated, the scene that unfolded made David Chen''s sinister smile freeze. The Ice Control Irenix still hovered in mid air, its flawless ice wings untouched by even a speck of dust, let alone shattered.


    "This is impossible!" David Chen exclaimed, his hand trembling with fear beneath his sleeve.


    Blaze Regret let out a soft snort. Only a monster like the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros could injure the current Ice Control Irenix. Ordinary spirit beasts of the warrior level couldn''t leave a mark on it, let alone a few mere Cloud Sand Leopards.


    Sorry for late update and Thanks you for support me.

 Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Spirit king Master Tomb

    The Ice Control Irenix gazed coldly downwards, a flash of chill passing through its eyes. Its ice wings folded slightly and then suddenly flared open, sending several sharp ice feathers slicing through the air in pale blue arcs, shooting violently toward the Cloud Sand Leopards'' heads."Swoosh!"


    Blood splattered. Almost without exception, the Cloud Sand Leopards fell to the ground before they even had a chance to resist, crimson blood streaming down from the ice feathers embedded in their heads.


    Watching the bodies of the Cloud Sand Leopards, Muk Karthik''s lips twitched. These were the elite forces of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group, comparable to their own Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. And yet, they had all met their end at Blaze Regret''s hands so easily.


    "You think just because my spirit beast is injured, you have a chance?" Blaze Regret sneered at David Chen. If the Ice Control Irenix hadn''t been strengthened by the Ice Lake Stone Flower, he might have been in trouble. But in this world, there are no ''ifs.''


    "I''m warning you, you''d better not touch me!" David Chen shouted, trying to appear fierce, but his trembling hands betrayed his inner fear as Blaze Regret slowly approached.


    "Give me a reason not to," Blaze Regret said, amusement in his eyes.


    "I''m a close friend of Mon Star, the deputy leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. If I die, they won''t let you go!" David Chen clenched his fists, trying to sound threatening.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but shake his head in disbelief. If David Chen hadn''t mentioned his connection to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, he might have let him go. But now, he had no reason to do so.


    "Blaze Regret, can you do me a favor?" Muk Karthik suddenly stepped up beside Blaze Regret, his face cold.


    "Speak," Blaze Regret nodded slightly.


    "Kill these members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group. They have committed unspeakable acts in Hildan Town, including assaulting many female spirit hunters," Muk Karthik said, glaring at David Chen and his men with hatred.


    "Muk Karthik, you''re courting death! If anything happens to me, both you and him will die with me!" David Chen snarled, his face twisted with rage.


    "David Chen, do you know who I am?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a smile. It figured that anyone associated with the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would be no good.


    "No matter who you are, in Hildan Town, the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is like the heavens!" David Chen laughed loudly, as if convinced that Blaze Regret wouldn''t dare to make a move.


    "Smack!"


    In a swift motion, Blaze Regret darted in front of David Chen and kicked him to the ground. He then stepped on David Chen''s chest, chuckling lightly, "The name''s Blaze Regret. The heavens you speak of have already been pierced by me. I''m really sorry about that."


    "Blaze Regret?" Upon hearing the name, David Chen''s expression changed dramatically, and his eyes filled with intense fear, as if he had completely forgotten that he was being stepped on by Blaze Regret.


    There were things that Muk Karthik didn''t know, but David Chen was fully aware of them. The third leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, who had gone missing recently, had fallen at Blaze Regret''s hands!

    "Swish!"


    With a wave of his hand, Blaze Regret sent shards of icy blades whistling through the air. The few members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group who had tried to escape fell to the ground instantly.


    "Now, it''s your turn." S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Catching the returning ice blade, Blaze Regret held it against David Chen''s throat, smiling as he spoke.


    "Hehe, since you could defeat Mon Black, beating me now is nothing to be proud of," David Chen looked up at Blaze Regret and sneered, but his smile was filled with venom.


    "Do you see me being proud?" Blaze Regret shook his head with a wry smile. Defeating Mon Black might have given him some sense of accomplishment, but crushing David Chen underfoot couldn''t stir even a ripple in his heart.


    Raising his hand slowly, Blaze Regret glanced at David Chen, then slashed the ice blade in his hand toward David Chen''s throat.


    "Spare me, and I can tell you some secrets about the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group!" Feeling the cold air rushing towards him, David Chen''s face finally showed an undisguised face, and he shouted loudly.


    The ice blade stopped in mid air. Blaze Regret looked at David Chen with interest, but the foot on David Chen''s chest did not move an inch.


    "Recently, Mon Dark seemed to have found some treasure land. According to rumors, it might be the tomb of a Spirit King master, containing his lifetime''s collection." David Chen spoke extremely fast, as if afraid that Blaze Regret would lose patience and swing the ice blade down.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret''s heart was slightly moved.


    The Spirit King is a level higher than the Spirit Lord, but the gap between them is like a chasm. Even the strongest Spirit Lord would find it hard to gain the upper hand against a Spirit King master.


    "Do you know where that place is?" Blaze Regret smiled and retracted the ice blade that was suspended in mid air, placing it behind his back along with his hand.


    "Hehe, of course, I know. But you have to release me first and give me half of the Spirit Gathering Fruits, otherwise, even if I die, you won''t get any information." David Chen sneered, holding this chip in his hand, not believing that Blaze Regret wouldn''t be tempted.


    "Really no choice, huh."


    Blaze Regret lifted the foot pressing on David Chen''s chest, but just as a smug smile appeared on David Chen''s face, Blaze Regret''s arm suddenly swung down, fiercely thrusting the ice blade into David Chen''s chest. "Whether you die or not, who cares? At worst, I''ll just pay a visit to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group myself."

 Chapter 186: Chapter 186 Meet Again

    The smug smile froze on his face as David Chen, half raised, slowly fell back, his eyes full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that Blaze Regret would be so decisive in killing him, even with the temptation of a Spirit King master''s tomb."Good kill!" Muk karthik kicked David Chen''s corpse several times, his face full of satisfaction.


    "How did you end up with them?" Blaze Regret looked at Muk karthik with confusion. From his earlier demeanor, it was clear he had a grudge against the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. So how did he end up joining them in the fight against the Golden Armored Sword Lion?


    "It''s a long story."


    Muk karthik smiled bitterly and shook his head. "The Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group has long been in name only. Uncle Yun Anuar dispersed the internal members among various smaller hunting groups to preserve our strength. Otherwise, given the methods of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, we would have been exterminated long ago."


    Blaze Regret nodded lightly in understanding. In Velorian City, when some families faced imminent destruction, they would spread out some of their members to preserve their lineage. This act of showing weakness might help them survive the crisis.


    "Blaze Regret, thank you so much for today. If it weren''t for your timely intervention, I might have died here. Now, I will leave this place. Since the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group no longer exists, there''s no reason for me to stay." Muk karthik gave a bitter smile, cupped his hands towards Blaze Regret, and prepared to leave.


    "Wait." Blaze Regret walked to the Spirit Gathering Fruit Tree, picked a few fruits, thought for a moment, and then took out an unused void realms stone. After placing all the Spirit Gathering Fruits inside, he nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and the void realms stone traced an arc before landing in Muk karthik''s hand.


    "This..." Muk karthik looked at the void realms stone in his palm, feeling a bit dry mouthed.


    The value of an void realms stone was self explanatory, something an average spirit master could hardly afford, let alone containing several valuable Spirit Gathering Fruits. Explore more adventures at M V L


    "We''re friends. I don''t have much to give you. If you ever need help, feel free to come to Veloria City. The Blaze family still holds some weight there." Blaze Regret smiled at Muk karthik, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes.


    The Blaze family... It''s been a while since I left. I wonder what the situation at home is now.


    "Thank you!"


    With a grateful bow, Muk karthik turned and left. As a member of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group, he naturally wouldn''t stay in a place where he no longer felt a sense of belonging.


    Blaze Regret shook his head lightly and raised his hand, carefully placing every Spirit Gathering Fruit from the tree into his void realms stone. Such valuable items could even heal the injuries of a spirit master and might come in handy someday.


    "Ding!"


    Returning to Blaze Regret''s side, the damaged ice wings of the Ice Control Irenix had healed considerably. The bodies of ice type spirit beasts were made entirely of ice, and they could heal themselves by absorbing the ice attribute spiritual energy in the air.


    He opened the second spirit portal and took the Ice Control Irenix inside. Blaze Regret glanced at the sky before turning and disappearing into the forest.


    Most of his day had been spent searching for the Spirit Gathering Fruit, but fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Fruit, the injuries caused by the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros would likely heal soon.


    The forest at dusk was extremely peaceful, and night fell quickly. The hazy moonlight enveloped the treetops, and the evening breeze brought a refreshing coolness.


    Surrounded by a few Night Feather Fireflies, Blaze Regret walked through the woods, his brows slightly furrowed. If what David Chen said was true, then Mon Dark and his group would definitely head to that tomb. If they obtained something to enhance their strength from it, it would become difficult for him to stay in the Hildan Mountains.


    "Whoosh!"


    As Blaze Regret pondered, the Red on his shoulder suddenly opened its eyes wide in alarm, its blue pupils staring intently ahead. Two rings of fire spikes appeared in the air.


    "Who''s there?" Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened as he spread his hand, causing sharp ice blades to spin rapidly.


    "Can you still run?"


    A voice as clear as a spring in a secluded valley echoed in his ears, causing Blaze Regret''s mouth to twitch. Then, from behind a massive tree, a slender and graceful figure slowly emerged.


    Seeing the cold and beautiful face of the young girl, Blaze Regret felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and instinctively took a few steps back. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Still trying to run?" The girl''s graceful figure moved, bringing with it a fragrant breeze. In an instant, she was in front of Blaze Regret, her snow white hand mercilessly striking his chest.


    "Ugh!"


    A sharp pain erupted in his chest, and an unhealthy flush quickly spread across Blaze Regret''s face. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, splattering alarmingly on the ground.


    "Why didn''t you dodge?" The young girl in black saw Blaze Regret spitting blood, and her glassy eyes trembled slightly. Her speed just now wasn''t that fast, and with ''s strength as a seventh tier warrior grade spirit master, it shouldn''t have been difficult for him to evade.


    Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealed a wry smile. The previous incident was clearly his fault for breaking the barrier first, which led to the awkward situation later. Ultimately, it was his mistake.


    "How about this, you hit me a few more times, and then we''re even. How does that sound?" looked up at the young girl in black and grinned awkwardly.


    Support me guys for more chapter. Thanks you for those that support me

 Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Saving Yun Suhaila

    "You still have the nerve to laugh!" The girl gritted her teeth, glared at , then stomped her foot hard and turned to leave."Don''t let me see you again!"


    Hearing this, raised his eyebrows in surprise. Under normal circumstances, a girl wouldn''t let such a thing go so easily. It seemed like she wasn''t planning to pursue it any further?


    "I have to say, you''re very lucky."


    Master Magi drifted out from the Void Realm Stone, gently waved his hand, and a golden halo spread out. Wherever it touched, droplets of energy appeared. As the girl in black left, these droplets gradually shrank and eventually dissipated completely.


    Feeling the lingering terrifying aura in the air, Blaze Regret''s body shivered slightly. If the girl in black had harbored even a bit of killing intent, he would have been turned into a beehive by now unless Master Magi had intervened.


    Dragging his heavy steps, walked into the tree hollow and sat down cross legged, recalling the somewhat romantic scene by the lake. His earlobes suddenly felt a bit warm.


    "What, have you taken a liking to her?" Master Magi glanced at teasingly.


    "How could that be? Would you like someone who points a sword at you?" retorted immediately without thinking.


    "Tsk tsk."


    Master Magi shook his head playfully and laughed, "Judging by that little girl''s demeanor, she seems to have just entered the mortal world and hasn''t yet been tainted by the killing aura. If she gains more experience, she probably wouldn''t have wasted any words and would have killed you on the spot."


    Upon hearing this, , Blaze Regret who had finally come to his senses, felt a sudden tightness in his chest, a wave of relief washing over him.


    "Don''t talk. I need to refine the Spirit Gathering Fruit!"


    Seeing Master Magi about to speak again,Blaze Regret quickly waved his hand, looking guilty as a thief, which made Master Magi chuckle.


    "This is the first time I''ve seen someone get chased after being seen naked," Master Magi sighed with a hint of amusement before returning to the Void Realm Stone. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Mind your own business!" Blaze Regret snapped angrily, slapping the Void Realm Stone. Red, who was lying nearby, almost burst out laughing.


    ...


    A ray of dawn slowly pulled back the curtain of night.


    Blaze Regret walked out of the tree hollow, gently twisting his neck. The crisp sounds made his heart feel refreshed.


    The Spirit Gathering Fruit truly lived up to its reputation as recorded by the Medicine Emperor. Its effects were comparable to those of elixirs. After refining just one, the injury on ''s chest had mostly healed.


    "It''s time to pay a visit to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group."


    Blaze Regret rubbed Red''s fuzzy little head, a faint coldness flashing in his eyes. He had never forgotten the culprit who had driven him into these mountains.


    Hildan Town wasn''t far from here. After three hours, the man and the Cat found themselves amidst a bustling crowd.


    Walking through the noisy town again, Blaze Regret felt a bit disoriented. In just half a month, it felt like decades had passed, and everything around him seemed so unfamiliar.


    With his face hidden under a black robe, Blaze Regret entered an inn. The steaming hot food made both him and Red eat heartily, stuffing their mouths desperately. There was no such delicacy in the desolate mountains.


    After a while, Blaze Regret put down his bowl and chopsticks, letting out a satisfied burp. Red, too, patted its round belly with a look of contentment.


    "Things have been quite unsettled in the east lately. I''ve heard that many powerful spirit hunters are heading there, and even some hidden experts have appeared."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to get up and leave, a sudden voice made him slowly sit back down. His empty teacup was filled with tea once again.


    "You don''t say. There might be some truth to it. Guess who I saw a few days ago?"


    "Out with it, or I''ll give you a beating!"


    "Hehe, just kidding. I''ll tell you, I saw Charles Taylor!"


    As soon as this name was mentioned, a wave of astonishment spread around, and whispers filled the room. The person who spoke earlier looked extremely proud.


    "Who... is Charles Taylor?"


    From a corner, ''s weak voice suddenly sounded, drawing a wave of disdain.


    "You don''t even know who Charles Taylor is and dare to hang around Hildan Town? Let me tell you, Charles Taylor is a true genius. At the mere age of twenty, he has already become a powerful spirit Imperial master!"


    Under the black robe, Blaze Regret took a sip of tea, a look of seriousness quietly appearing on his face.


    A spirit Imperial master, huh? He had thought that Hildan Town only had Mon Dark and Mon Den as spirit Imperial masters. Now it seemed that things were far from simple.


    And then there was that black clad girl...


    Thinking of her, Blaze Regret''s eyes became a bit unfocused. He really wondered about her identity and which mystical beast from the Spirit portal she possessed.

    "Heh, a spirit Imperial master at twenty, what a joke!"


    The sudden cold shout snapped out of his thoughts. He saw a young man slam the table heavily and sneer, "I''m Robert Brown, eighteen years old and already a ninth tier spirit warrior master. It won''t be long before I break through to become a spirit Imperial master. What genius? In front of me, it''s nothing but crap!"


    "Eighteen year old ninth tier spirit warrior master..."


    The entire tavern fell silent as they stared at the young man in shock. Robert Brown''s face was full of pride, as if this was the reaction he wanted.


    A ninth tier spirit warrior master was a formidable figure in Hildan Town. Just looking at Mon Black would tell you that. But Robert Brown''s age was undoubtedly much younger.


    "Another troublemaker," Blaze Regret sighed, putting down his teacup. Hildan Town was indeed getting more and more lively. It seemed that David Chen''s information was probably true.

 Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Saving Yun Suhaila 2

    The tomb of a Spirit King master expert was an irresistible temptation for spirit warrior masters, let alone spirit Imperial masters."Big news! Yun Suhaila of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group seems to have fallen into the hands of Mon Star!" sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A spirit hunter with sparse hair suddenly rushed into the tavern, shouting out a highly discussable piece of news.


    In an instant, the tavern felt like a bomb had been dropped. The previously quiet atmosphere exploded, and voices echoed throughout the room.


    "Yun Suhaila? That little girl is quite pretty. It''s going to be tough for her now!"


    "Who says otherwise? That old man Yun Anuar must be regretting it deeply now. Why on earth did he provoke the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?"


    Listening to the surrounding discussions, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    Mon Star was really asking for death!


    After done eating, Blaze Regret headed straight for the shop selling materials.


    The shop sold all kinds of materials, both ordinary and rare. Blaze Regret''s main goal was to gather the ingredients listed in the recipe to quickly produce the intermediate spirit beast food that he got from kill Mon Black in his Void Realms Stone..


    Here''s the materials list!" Blaze Regret handed the prepared list of materials to the shop assistant. To avoid revealing the recipe, he also added a few common items.


    "Please wait a moment!" said the assistant before starting to gather the materials on the list.


    It didn''t take long before the assistant placed the gathered materials in front of Blaze Regret, counting them in his presence to ensure nothing was missing. Then, they were sorted into wooden boxes, assembled into a package, and handed over to Blaze Regret.


    In addition to the materials, there were also a few tools for food preparation, which came at a considerable cost. However, based on the quantity of materials, once everything was made, it would be enough to supply several spirit beast for some time.


    As night fell, Blaze Regret finally stepped out of the inn. He glanced at the dim sky and then exhaled softly, heading towards the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.


    Compared to the desolate mountains, the town of Hildan was undoubtedly much livelier at night. Lanterns containing nightfire fireflies hung in front of the shops, emitting a bright glow.


    Within the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group was a very spacious square. At this moment, the square was exceptionally noisy. Hunters from the group sat around tables, laughing and clinking their mugs. Their coarse language could easily make any respectable woman blush.


    "Hehe, this wine is strong. I can drink a few more jugs. Save some for me. I''m going to take a leak, and I''ll be back to drink more!"


    A spirit hunter suddenly stood up, staggering out. He shook his body in front of a big tree.


    With a slight grin at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret swiftly descended from the treetop, grabbing the spirit hunter by the neck and dragging him away at the fastest speed. The noisy square behind them didn''t notice the commotion.


    After covering a distance of a hundred yards, they reached a low lying area where Blaze Regret let go of the hunter. With a flick of his finger, a small ice breaking blade formed and pressed forcefully against the hunter''s neck.


    "Who are you?"


    The cold sensation on his neck instantly sobered the spirit hunter. He looked at Blaze Regret with a terrified expression, and uncontrollably, a yellow stream of liquid flowed down his body.


    "Didn''t you just pee?" Blaze Regret cursed and kicked him, then coldly asked, "Where is Mon Star''s room located?"


    "What are you trying to do? I belong to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. If you dare to touch me, our leader won''t spare you!" The hunter''s voice trembled, but his words carried a strong threat.


    "Am I supposed to be afraid of your leader?" Blaze Regret sneered. A night feather firefly flew in front of his face, revealing his features, which instantly filled the hunter with fear.


    "You are Blaze Regret!" The hunter''s teeth chattered.


    "Cut the crap, tell me where Mon Star''s room is within three breaths!" Blaze Regret pressed the ice blade in his hand harder, and the oozing blood made the spirit hunter spill all the information he knew.


    Shaking off the blood from the ice blade, Blaze Regret ignored the now lifeless hunter, stood up, and leaped onto higher ground. He carefully crossed several tall walls and arrived at the room the hunter had mentioned.


    "Damn, it''s such a mess, not even a place to hide."


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly, then looked up and saw a beam sturdy enough to support a person. His mouth curled into a grin.


    In the square.


    "Where did john Johnson go? He just went to take a leak, why isn''t he back yet?" A spirit hunter, reeking of alcohol, stared outside with a dazed look.


    "Hehe, do you even need to ask? That guy''s probably off kicking some widow''s door again. He won''t be back tonight!" Another spirit hunter laughed, downed his drink in one gulp, and then collapsed, snoring loudly.


    "Brothers, make sure you eat and drink well!"


    Mon Star, looking smug, passed by several tables, but only took symbolic sips of wine each time. After all, he had more important matters to attend to tonight.


    "Creak!"


    Leaning on the beam, Blaze Regret tensed slightly at the sound of the door opening below. However, it wasn''t Mon Star who entered but two maids, carrying a panicked Yun Suhaila between them.


    "Let me go, please!" Yun Suhaila''s voice had a hint of sobbing and sounded extremely weak. Stay tuned to M V L


    "Let you go? And where would you go?" One of the maids sneered maliciously. "With a double dose of the soft bone powder, you can''t even walk. Tonight, you''ll serve Young Master Mon well."


    "Such a good opportunity, and you don''t cherish it properly. If the Young Master hadn''t forbidden it, I would''ve added something else to the soft bone powder long ago," one of the maids said gleefully as she placed Yun Suhaila on the bed. Her gaze made Yun Suhaila''s face turn pale.

 Chapter 189: Chapter 189 Saving Yun Suhaila 3

    "Emma smitch, do you think she''ll survive for a month?" the maid who spoke earlier asked, eyeing Yun Suhaila with a sinister smile."Who knows? But if she doesn''t die in a month, the Young Master''s interest will surely fade. By then, we can sell her somewhere else and make another fortune," the maid named Emma Smitch said, pinching Yun Suhaila''s cheek with a look of anticipation.


    "Where are you going to sell me..." Yun Suhaila asked in terror, struggling weakly but without any strength.


    "Where? Naturally, to an interesting place." The two maids laughed loudly and left, closing the wooden door with a bang, leaving Yun Suhaila trembling on the bed.


    Leaning on the beam, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed coldly. This Draconic Spirit Hunters group was rotten to the core, even the two lowly maids were so brazen.


    "Creak~"


    The sound of the wooden door opening was particularly grating in the silent night. Amidst the sycophantic laughter of the two maids, Mon Star, reeking of alcohol, walked in with slow, heavy steps. The loud closing of the door made Yun Suhaila''s body tremble, and she didn''t dare to breathe.


    "Yun Suhaila, didn''t expect this, did you?" Mon Star walked leisurely to the bed, his smile twisted and sinister.


    Seeing Mon Star approaching, Yun Suhaila''s face turned ashen. She tried to move back but felt the cold touch of the wall, plunging her heart into despair.


    "Don''t struggle. A double dose of soft bone powder can even incapacitate a Spirit Imperial Master. You''re just a mere fourth tier Spirit warrior grade. Just lie in bed quietly," Mon Star said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.


    "Mon Star, you despicable bastard!" Yun Suhaila''s cheeks trembled as she shouted.


    "Despicable?"


    Mon Star''s eyes turned cold as he sneered, "Because of you, our Draconic Spirit Hunters'' Hildan Arena was completely destroyed by that brat Blaze Regret. Our current income is nearly 60% less than before. As a token of my gratitude, I will do something even more despicable to you. It''s a pity, though. If Blaze Regret could enjoy this show with us, it would be even more delightful."


    With that, Mon Star reached out his hand, intending to tear Yun Suhaila''s clothes.


    As the shadow loomed over her, Yun Suhaila bit her lip tightly, and a look of determination emerged in her eyes.


    "Tsk tsk, this scene isn''t exciting enough, Young Master Mon Star. How about we make it a bit more interesting?"


    A sudden voice startled Mon Star. He quickly raised his head to see a young man in a black robe, lazily leaning against the beam, staring at him with a half smile.


    "Blaze Regret?" Mon Star''s pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Blaze Regret. He couldn''t believe that Blaze Regret dared to return to Hildan Town and even infiltrated the Draconic Hunting Spirit Group.


    Yun Suhaila, lying on the bed, also looked incredulous. Her rosy lips parted slightly, and a look of urgency appeared in her eyes.


    "Leave quickly! Mon Dark and Mon Den are both in the Draconic Hunting Spirit Group right now!" Yun Suhaila urged Blaze Regret anxiously.


    "Leave?"


    Coming back to his senses, Mon Star''s face slowly twisted into a mocking smile. "Blaze Regret, you are truly audacious. There''s a road to heaven, but you refuse to take it; there''s no gate to hell, but you come knocking. In that case, you can leave your life behind!"


    As the mocking voice faded, Mon Star waved his hand, and a communication shell appeared in his palm. A thread of earth yellow spiritual power surged into the shell.


    However, seeing this, Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly, still leaning against the beam, watching Mon Star with interest. Yun Suhaila''s face was already filled with terror.


    "Father, Blaze Regret is in my room. Bring people over quickly. Tonight, I want to tear him apart!" Mon Star put down the communication shell, his eyes cold as he looked at Blaze Regret, his voice brimming with satisfaction.

    Thinking of killing Blaze Regret today put Mon Star in an extremely good mood.


    Lightly tapping the beam with his finger, Blaze Regret chuckled, "Young Master Mon Star, take a look at your communication shell. You might find a surprise."


    Mon Star''s face changed slightly. He quickly raised the shell, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.


    The pearl inside the shell was completely dull. His message hadn''t been sent out at all! Find adventures on M V L


    "What did you do!" Mon Star glared angrily at Blaze Regret. Stomping his foot on the ground, the rocks cracked, and a gray white rock snake emerged, segment by segment, completely wrapping Mon Star''s body in protection.


    "Do you think you can defeat me?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled up playfully, his voice tinged with a faint mockery.


    Hearing this, Mon Star''s face turned ugly. On the day at the Hildan Arena, Blaze Regret was just a fifth tier spirit warrior grade , two tiers below his own seventh tier spirit warrior grade. Yet in a blink of an eye, Blaze Regret had also reached the seventh tier spirit warrior grade. This speed was truly astonishing.


    More importantly, Blaze Regret''s seventh tier spirit warrior grade was far stronger than his. Even Mon Den had met his end at Blaze Regret''s hands, not to mention an ordinary seventh tier spirit warrior grade.


    Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Mon Star''s eyes. The tail of the rock snake beside him whipped the ground fiercely, producing a dull collision sound that echoed through the room.


    "Blaze Regret, my father will hear this noise and be here in no time. When that happens, you''re dead!" Mon Star grinned and laughed heartily.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, an ice breaking blade suddenly shot out, slashing fiercely at the wooden door.


    "Crack!"


    After a brief stalemate, the ice breaking blade shattered inch by inch upon the wooden door, transforming into countless crystalline ice shards that fell to the ground.

 Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Saving Yun Suhaila 4

    A ripple of golden waves slightly undulated around the room, like waves completely isolating the sound inside from the outside."What is this!" Mon Star''s face turned ashen, and a sense of panic overwhelmed him. His previously alcohol clouded mind became instantly sober.


    "If it weren''t for wanting to ask you some questions, this wouldn''t have been so troublesome." Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The red on his chest suddenly shot down, its blue eyes coldly staring at the rock snake while its claws, wrapped in blue flames, fiercely struck down at its head.


    "Rock Snake, Rock Scale Rain!"


    Amid Mon Star''s fearful voice, the scales on the rock snake''s body suddenly stood up and quickly detached, shooting towards the descending red with piercing wind breaking force.


    "Whoosh!"


    The blue flames on Red''s claws surged instantly, and the flying rock scales shattered like fragile glass upon contact.


    As the fragments scattered, Red transformed into a streak of blue light, passing by the rock snake''s head, then gently landing on the ground. With a wave of its Cat claws, the extended claws retracted with a swish.


    Staring blankly at Red, the rock snake opened its mouth, and its gray white snake head fell to the ground with a thud. Its body also shattered segment by segment, scattering on the floor.


    Mon Star''s face turned deathly pale in an instant.


    With a light push of his foot, Blaze Regret jumped to the ground. He then took out a Spirit Gathering Fruit from his spatial stone and tossed it to Yun Suhaila, smiling, "Refine this fruit, and the Soft Bone Powder in your body will be completely expelled."


    After looking at Blaze Regret for a moment, Yun Suhaila nodded with difficulty, her eyes lowering slightly. Was this guy here specifically to rescue her? But it didn''t seem like it.


    While Yun Suhaila was lost in thought, Blaze Regret pulled over a chair, sat down lazily, and leaned back with a slight smile. "Young Captain Mon, let''s talk."


    "What do you want me to say!" Mon Star glared at Blaze Regret, but his voice carried an unmistakable note of fear.


    "Hmm, about a certain tomb in the Hildan Mountains," Blaze Regret said softly.


    "What tomb? I don''t know anything about it!" Mon Star''s eyes flickered slightly. This guy had always been in the northern part of the mountains, at least dozens of miles away from him. How did he know about this?


    "Whoosh!"


    Without any hesitation, Blaze Regret waved his hand, and a small ice breaking blade instantly embedded itself in Mon Star''s left leg. As the icy aura spread, the surrounding flesh froze entirely, followed by a cracking sound.


    Staring dumbfounded at the blood ice flowing from his foot, Mon Star finally screamed after a moment. But seeing another flying blade appear in Blaze Regret''s hand, his scream was abruptly stifled.


    "That last flying blade was aimed at your leg. Want to guess where this one will go?" Blaze Regret asked with a grin.


    "Devil!" Mon Star''s lips trembled. This guy was far more ruthless than many bloodthirsty spirit hunters!


    "You have three breaths'' time." Blaze Regret''s ice blade spun in his hand, his voice cold.


    Mon Star''s legs shook, his face full of struggle.


    Three breaths passed. Blaze Regret squinted his eyes and was about to wave his hand when the last defense in Mon Star''s heart finally collapsed completely.


    "The Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb! It''s the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb!" Mon Star cried out loudly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was secretly delighted. This trip had indeed not been in vain.

    After refining the Spirit Gathering Fruit, most of the Soft Bone Powder in her body was expelled. Yun Suhaila slowly sat up on the edge of the bed. Although she still felt a sense of weakness, it was clearly much better than before.


    Seeing the slight flush of color return to Yun Suhaila''s face, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn''t sure if the Spirit Gathering Fruit would work, but it seemed his worries were unfounded.


    "What to do next, I don''t need to teach you, right?" Blaze Regret turned his head, coldly gazing at Mon Star, while a chill slowly spread from his casually open palm.


    "Four days ago, in a low valley in the southern part of the mountain range, a passing spirit hunter discovered a hidden tomb chamber. Just as he touched the tomb door, a flame suddenly erupted, burning off half of his arm. Upon learning of this, several experts went there one after another.


    They finally concluded that in half a month, the restrictions on the tomb chamber would weaken, making it much easier to enter," Mon Star quickly explained, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.


    "Is the owner of that Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb a spirit king expert known as the Blazing Fire Spirit King?" After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret suddenly asked.


    "How do you know?" Mon Star was startled, but then quickly realized that anyone from the Sun Moon Empire could probably guess the tomb owner''s identity from the name of the tomb.


    The Blazing Fire Spirit King, like the Ice Lotus Master, was a renowned expert in the Sun Moon Empire. Although he was only a Spirit king, he once fought a Spirit Sovereigns to a standstill, which gave him a reputation that even slightly overshadowed that of the Ice Lotus Master.


    "A mere Spirit king dares to have such an arrogant title," Blaze Regret muttered under his breath.


    If a Spirit king could dominate a nation, then a Spirit Sovereigns could command respect across a nation. Spirit kings only existed in large empires, and there had never been any legends of Spirit kings in the entire Sun Moon Empire.


    "I''ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?" Mon Star raised his head, looking at Blaze Regret in fear, but his hand behind his back had already formed into a rock blade, its edges glinting sharply.

 Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Saving Yun Suhaila Final (Bonus)

    "I never planned to let you go in the first place, and now that you seek death, why should I spare your life?"Blaze Regret smiled faintly, and the Red beside him shot out abruptly. Its sharp claws swept across Mon Star''s throat.


    "You..." Mon Star''s bulging eyes stared fiercely at Blaze Regret as uncontrollable blood flowed from his throat. His body swayed, and with a thud, he collapsed onto the ground, life slowly fading away.


    "What should we do now?" Yun Suhaila walked over slowly, looking helplessly at Blaze Regret.


    "I''ll get you out of here," Blaze Regret said softly, glancing into the distance.


    "But Mon Dark and Mo Den..." Yun Suhaila hesitated.


    "Leave them to me. However, no matter what you see next, you must keep it to yourself. Do not say a word, understand?" Blaze Regret looked at Yun Suhaila, his voice heavy.


    "Mm." Yun Suhaila nodded repeatedly. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before the room.


    Two maid servants leaned against a stone pillar, saliva spraying from their mouths as they chatted enthusiastically. Occasionally, they glanced back at the brightly lit room before returning to their spirited conversation.


    "I just contacted Black Wolf with the Sound Transmission Shell. He said he could offer this much for that little girl from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunter Group." One maid servant raised her hand excitedly, a trace of pride in her voice.


    "So much? That''s worth more than five people before!" The other maid servant''s eyes widened in shock, but her face showed delight. The higher the selling price, the more benefits she would receive. Discover exclusive tales at M V L


    "It''s because that girl is pretty." The maid servant pursed her lips in jealousy, her voice sharp. "But what good is beauty? Her fate will be miserable in the end."


    "Exactly. Heh heh, by now, the young leader should have already taken action."


    "Cre-eak~"


    The wooden door suddenly opened, and the two maid servants immediately fell silent, reflexively putting on ingratiating smiles. But in the next moment, their eyes filled with intense fear as a gleaming ice blade sliced through the air, ruthlessly shattering their hearts.


    "Let''s go!"


    Blaze Regret suddenly leaped up, his raised toe lightly tapping on the returning ice blade.


    Immediately after, Yun Suhaila''s eyes widened as she witnessed a scene she would never forget.


    Brilliant golden light shimmered behind Blaze Regret. In an instant, a pair of magnificent golden wings slowly spread out, vibrating with a faint sound of breaking wind, soaring straight into the sky.


    "Don''t ask anything."


    Lying in Blaze Regret''s arms, suspended high in the air, Yun Suhaila''s red lips parted slightly as she was about to say something. However, the cold voice in her ear made her suppress that thought.


    Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly as Yun Suhaila gazed at the contours of the young man''s face. Her rosy lips pressed together gently.


    It seemed she had never truly understood him...


    Thinking of this, Yun Suhaila smiled self deprecatingly. Back at the inn outside the Hildan Mountain Range, she probably never imagined that one day, her life would be saved by this seemingly frivolous young man from a noble family.


    The golden wings sliced through the sky like a comet. What normally took several days to traverse through the forest was crossed in just half an hour. At the forest''s edge, Blaze Regret''s wings folded behind him as he gently landed and carefully set Yun Suhaila down.


    "Are you leaving?" Yun Suhaila looked at Blaze Regret with a complex expression and spoke softly.


    "Outside the Hildan Mountain Range is not the territory of the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group. If they dare to extend their hands, someone will naturally teach them a lesson. Here, you and Uncle Yun Anuar can rest assured." Blaze Regret nodded slightly.


    During his conversation with Muk Karthik, he had already learned that Yun Anuar and the others had arrived here. Whether Yun Suhaila could find them would depend on fate; he couldn''t help much more.


    "This spirit beast puppet is of the ninth rank..."


    Blaze Regret thought for a moment and lightly stroked the void Realm Stone. The previously damaged Gale Mantis, from his battle with the Ghost Snake Elder, appeared intact on the ground. Seeing its flawless body, Blaze Regret''s words suddenly choked back, his expression turning peculiar.


    "A imperial grade spirit beast puppet?" Yun Suhaila''s eyes widened slightly. By the time she came to her senses, Blaze Regret''s figure had already turned into a streak of golden light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.


    As she stroked the body of the Gale Mantis, a sudden wave of sadness washed over Yun Suhaila. From now on, it might be difficult to meet him again.


    "Did you repair the Gale Mantis?" Blaze Regret patted the Void Realm Stone and asked with curiosity.


    "Heh, if I hadn''t done that, you wouldn''t have been at ease," Master Magi appeared, curling his lips with a hint of teasing.


    "Can you give me these golden wings someday?" Blaze Regret gazed at the magnificent golden wings behind him, almost drooling at the sight.


    "What are you thinking? These are merely condensed from spiritual power. If you want them, you''d better hurry up and improve your strength. Once you reach the Spirit Sovereigns level and learn flying spirit techniques, you can create any wings you like," Master Magi chuckled and scolded.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret could only shake his head in disappointment.


    "Since the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb opens in half a month, I''ll spend some time training here for now."


    Scanning the dark mountain range, Blaze Regret''s lips curled up slightly. With a gentle flap of his wings, he swiftly descended.


    As daylight was fading, Blaze Regret didn''t intend to train his Spirit beasts. Instead, he went straight to his cave that he found to take rest, eager to pull out the intermediate spirit beast food recipe and commit its contents to memory.


    100 power stone bonus chapter. Thanks you for support me.

 Chapter 192: Chapter 192 Intermediate Spirit Beast Food

    Being a Spirit master focusing on spiritual power, even though he was still at the Seventh tier warrior grade, his memory far exceeded that of ordinary people. Besides, the recipe was only a few pages long, and even though the formulas were quite complex, they posed no challenge to Blaze Regret.First, he memorized the recipe''s content, focusing particularly on the placement process, proportions, and timing.


    Second, the moisture content of materials would affect the texture of the food and, to some extent, the success rate of production. To avoid this, the materials needed to be adjusted in advance.


    Finally, based on the type of materials, he ground them into powder, sliced them, or chopped them, storing each in different containers to be used as needed.


    With his strong memory, Blaze Regret quickly memorized the recipe''s content.


    As the saying goes, practice is the only standard for testing truth.


    After ensuring everything was in place, Blaze Regret began by processing the materials, setting up the tools, and eagerly starting the production.


    Compared to low level spirit beast food, the process for making intermediate spirit food is more complex. It''s not just about the increase in materials and tools; the method of preparation is also harder to master.


    For Blaze Regret, making intermediate spirit food for the first time, even though he had memorized the recipe smoothly, it still felt quite chaotic.


    Not long after, Blaze Regret completed the preparation, resulting in a granular food.


    Unfortunately, due to his unfamiliar technique, the food''s shape, color, and description differed from the recipe, and the smell was rather unpleasant, having a somewhat burnt aroma.


    "Red, you''ve worked hard during this time! Here, this is the food I specially prepared for you, guaranteed to surprise you!"


    Blaze Regret maintained a calm demeanor as he placed the prepared food in the bowl and pushed it towards Red. Find more to read at M V L


    Red looked at Blaze Regret curiously. As Blaze Regret''s life bound Spirit beast, it had established a very strong mental connection with him and could sense his emotions.


    This time, Red sensed a hint of malice!


    Without hesitation, Red shook its head and decisively refused!


    "Tsk, so uncooperative!" Blaze Regret shrugged, but he didn''t give up. He opened the Spirit realms stone and released the Drill Rat, repeating the process.


    Unlike Red, the Drill Rat, under a temporary contract, couldn''t sense Blaze Regret''s "malice." Moreover, being naturally gluttonous, it eagerly buried its head in the food bowl.


    The next moment, the Drill Rat suddenly froze in its tracks. Its excitement vanished as it lifted its head with a look of disdain, spitting out all the food it had in its mouth.


    The Drill Rat pitifully looked at Blaze Regret, with an expression that seemed to say, "I''ve been wronged, you owe me compensation."


    Without a doubt, this was a dish of "dark cuisine."


    "Failed to concoct! Is it the moisture content? Or is there a discrepancy in the material proportions? Or perhaps the placement timing wasn''t right?" Blaze Regret pondered, ignoring the Drill Rat''s expression, as he rested his chin on his right hand.


    Mastering a food recipe undoubtedly requires a gradual process. The demand for talent in this area isn''t very high; it''s mostly about gaining proficiency.


    That night, Blaze Regret tried making a few more batches, but unfortunately, they all ended in failure. He only became slightly more skilled, and there was still a way to go before truly mastering it.


    Half a month passed by in a flash.


    In the early morning, within the mist covered mountains, Blaze Regret''s figure quickly shuttled through, then disappeared into the thick fog.


    "The pressure of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is getting weaker and weaker. Today, we should be able to enter, right?"


    Hearing the faint sounds in his ears, Blaze Regret''s footsteps gradually came to a stop. In the distance, a flickering red light shone through the fog.


    Along the way, Blaze Regret saw many tents set up by those who had arrived earlier. The mystery of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb had attracted countless elites from Hildan Town, all considering themselves qualified to be here.


    Glancing at the people continuously emerging from the tents, Blaze Regret sighed lightly in his heart. The weakest among them was a sixth tier spirit warrior master, and there were quite a few eighth tier spirit warrior masters as well. It was clear that the competition this time would be incredibly fierce.


    "Charles taylor is here!"


    The sudden shout caused the noisy crowd to stop their activities. A young man in a black robe walked indifferently through the crowd, a thick aura of killing intent swirling around him.


    "A dark attribute spirit master." Blaze Regret, mingling in the crowd, glanced at Charles taylor passing by, his eyes flickering.


    "The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is here too!"


    Amidst the commotion, a group of figures passed through the crowd, finally standing on the highest rock, overlooking the area below. At the forefront was a stern faced middle aged man, with Mon Den standing silently beside him.


    In the entire Hildan Town, apart from Mon Dark, there was no one else who could have Mon Den standing by their side.


    "A third tier spirit Imperial master."


    A trace of solemnity flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The strength of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group far surpassed that of other hunting groups.

    "They''re here. We probably won''t get anything good now," someone lamented.


    "Don''t worry. The Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is so vast. Even if we can''t get the meat, we can still have some soup," another person said optimistically. After all, opportunities are a matter of luck, and with Charles taylor and Mon Dark counter balancing each other, they might still have a chance to fish in troubled waters from behind.


    Others nodded, gaining some confidence from this.

 Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Kartis Miller

    "Whoosh!"Suddenly, a low whistling sound echoed through the air. A young man in white, riding a Thunder Eagle, appeared in everyone''s sight. With a swift movement, he leaped off the Thunder Eagle and landed steadily on the ground.


    "A member of the Kartis family!" Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly. From the emblem on the young man''s chest, he could tell that this person was from the Kartis family at the center of the empire!


    The presence of the white clad youth created a slightly oppressive atmosphere, as these spirit hunters couldn''t gauge the identity of this sudden arrival.


    Even more terrifying was that this person was also a powerful spirit Imperial master, with an aura just slightly weaker than Mon Dark''s!


    "Kartis Miller, I didn''t expect you to join in the fun," Charles taylor said softly, looking at the youth.


    "Hehe, in this godforsaken place, it''s a surprise to meet an acquaintance. Charles taylor, our last battle ended without a clear winner. Today, I can''t miss this opportunity," Kartis Miller said with a faint smile, glancing at Charles taylor.


    "Naturally. But for now, the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is more important," Charles taylor nodded and closed his eyes, unwilling to say more.


    "A tomb of a spirit lord is indeed worth a trip for me," Kartis Miller said, casting a disdainful glance at Mon Dark and the others, as if the treasures in the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb already belonged to him.


    At this moment, the thick fog had turned into a thin mist, and the scene before the crowd gradually became clear. In the valley below, the tomb entrance radiating with blazing red spiritual energy naturally became the focal point of many gazes.


    "What a beautiful person!"


    As Blaze Regret was observing the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, the surrounding breaths suddenly halted. Blaze Regret looked up in confusion and saw a graceful figure standing quietly on a protruding rock. Her snow white skin and cold, delicate face made the entire world seem dim in comparison.

    "Is it her?" Blaze Regret was slightly startled and pursed his lips. He was, of course, familiar with the person who had chased him twice.


    "Amelia!"


    Upon seeing her, the previously nonchalant Kartis Miller''s eyes instantly lit up with excitement. He hurriedly stepped towards the young girl.


    "Kartis Miller?" The blackclad girl glanced at him coldly before withdrawing her gaze indifferently. Her melodious voice was rather detached.


    "I just beat Kartis Thomas a while ago. Do you want to try as well?"


    The excitement on Kartis Miller''s face instantly froze. His foot stopped awkwardly mid air, and then he forced a smile, taking several steps back with an unnatural expression.


    "Amelia, huh?" Blaze Regret covered his face with his black robe, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Amelia was indeed a very pleasant name.


    Charles taylor, with his hands behind his back, turned his head upon hearing the commotion. When he saw Amelia''s cold and delicate face, he slowly lowered his hand, a flicker of apprehension flashing deep in his eyes.


    Having just returned from the center of the empire, he knew the girl''s identity very well. Under normal circumstances, even seeing her once would be a luxury. He never expected to see her so closely in this remote Hildan Town.


    At that moment, the temperature in the valley suddenly grew scorching. The flickering light from the tomb entrance quickened dramatically.


    "Whoosh!"


    A tangible wave of fire surged from the tomb entrance, vaguely forming an invisible barrier around the spirit tomb.


    "The final defense has finally appeared. I wonder if that item is truly buried inside," Amelia sighed softly.


    "A barrier? Heh, leave it to me!"


    A haughty laugh echoed through the air, and soon a purple streak swept across the space, striking the barrier hard. Instantly, the barrier rippled rapidly, dissolving the energy of the purple streak into nothingness.


    "Roberth Brown? The spirit beast beside him must be the Purple Epiphytic Vine!"


    Next to Roberth Brown, a patch of purple plants clung tightly to a rock. The purple streak just now was emitted by it.


    "The attack power of a warrior grade spirit beast is too weak; it still needs a Imperial tier spirit beast to break it!"


    As if wanting to show off in front of Amelia, Kartis Miller let out a hearty laugh. The Thunderstorm Eagle beside him flapped its wings and flew out, bright lightning bolts continuously striking down on the barrier.


    With such a dense concentration of lightning strikes, the fiery color of the barrier instantly faded and eventually shattered completely.


    Even though this was the spirit tomb of a Lord master, after so many years of consumption, the spiritual power of the formation outside the tomb had already dissipated significantly. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have appeared in everyone''s sight without even the energy to conceal the tomb entrance.


    "It''s about to break!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.


    Just as the barrier in front of the tomb door dissipated, Blaze Regret''s Void Realm Stone suddenly began to flicker crazily. The dazzling golden light overshadowed even the lightning from the Thunderstorm Eagle.


    "Blaze Regret!"


    Looking at Blaze Regret, who was hurriedly pressing down on the Void Realm Stone, Mon Den''s gloomy voice slowly resounded in the scene.


    As Mon Den''s voice echoed, the previously noisy venue became unusually silent. All eyes, filled with astonishment, fell on Blaze Regret.


    "Is this the guy who dismantled the Hildan Arena of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group a few months ago?"


    "I heard that Mon Black was killed by him. I wonder if that''s really true."


    "He looks quite ordinary, not as formidable as the rumors say."


    Whispers erupted above the valley. The previously attention grabbing Kartis Miller was now completely ignored. Even the usually indifferent Amelia glanced back, her pretty face becoming extremely unnatural.


    "Captain Mon Den, what brings you here?" Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing the disturbance in the void realms stone finally subside, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief. He then raised his face and smiled as if chatting with an old friend.

 Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Qualification

    Seeing this, Mon Den''s face twitched slightly, anger welling up in his eyes. At this point, you''re still pretending to be calm!"Kid, I''ll ask you once: how did you kill Mon Black?" Mon Den stared at Blaze Regret angrily.


    As Mon Black''s older brother, Mon Den knew just how terrifying the Colossal Statue was. Even his Ice Silkworm would be ruthlessly crushed by it at the same level. So when he heard the news, he felt more shock than sorrow.


    "Do you have any evidence?" Blaze Regret spread his hands innocently, sighing inwardly. Who knows how many people Mon Black had contacted with his sound transmission shell? Such things can''t be hidden.


    "Do I need evidence to kill you?" Mon Den sneered coldly. The white Ice Silkworm, covered in crystalline snowflakes, wriggled out from the summoning array. In an instant, the temperature in the area began to drop.


    "Captain Mon Den, are you attacking other spirit masters so recklessly, disregarding everyone here? You can kill me now, but once we enter the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, are you going to kill even more people until only the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group remains?" Blaze Regret''s voice turned cold, directly confronting Mon Den.


    Upon hearing this, many spirit hunters'' expressions changed slightly. Their greatest fear was those few spirit masters, so some had already begun forming alliances in secret. If the elites present joined forces, even Mon Den, a third tier spirit Imperial master, would face considerable pressure.


    David Chen and Kartis Miller, standing nearby, cast hostile glances at the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. As competitors, they wouldn''t mind eliminating a future rival if the opportunity arose.


    Amelia continued to gaze at the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, lost in thought.


    "Stop!"


    Just as Mon Den, irritated by the changing atmosphere, was about to act, Mon Dark''s voice rang out. He glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently and said, "We''ll settle the score with Mon Black later. But the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is a treasure of Hildan Town. Why is an outsider like you here? Please leave."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret squinted his eyes and sneered, "Captain Mon, since when do you decide for Hildan Town? Besides, there are others here who aren''t from Hildan Town either."


    Mon Dark snorted coldly, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "They stand here because they have the qualification. Do you?"


    Gently rubbing his face, Blaze Regret''s voice remained calm as he slowly replied, "Then please tell me, Captain Mon, what exactly is the qualification you''re talking about?"


    Mon Dark snorted again. This guy was truly clueless. Under normal circumstances, he would have slapped him to death long ago, without bothering with so much nonsense.


    "Captain Mon, since he''s so arrogant, why don''t I teach him a lesson?"


    A spirit hunter suddenly stepped out of the crowd and cupped his hands toward Mon Dark in a flattering manner. "I''m Smith Zent, an independent spirit hunter from outside. I''ve heard that the position of the third captain in your group is currently..." S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before Smith Zent could finish, Mon Dark waved his hand dismissively and said, "Pull out all of this kid''s teeth. From now on, the position of the third captain of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is yours."


    With Mon Dark''s assurance, Smith Zent''s face lit up with joy. He had once been the leader of a spirit hunting group but had fallen on hard times after committing some offense, leading to his exile. Seeing such a golden opportunity, he was naturally unwilling to let it slip by.

    "Kid, you''re unlucky to have run into me today."


    Smith Zent turned his head and gave Blaze Regret a sinister smile. Beside him, a figure as massive as a small mountain leaped out from the spirit formation and landed on the ground with a thud. The stones on the ground trembled slightly under the immense force.


    "A ninth tier mid level warrior grade Strength Bear?"


    Seeing this spirit beast, many spirit masters around them gasped. Such strength was considered top tier even in Hildan Town, and now it was being used against a seemingly frail young man.


    "I thought you''d be impressive, but it turns out you''re not even as good as Mo Black." Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a mocking smile. His words indirectly confirmed that he had killed Mo Black, though everyone had already suspected it, so no one appeared particularly surprised.


    "Arrogant!" Smith Zent scolded coldly. For someone about to die to speak to him this way was beyond insolent.


    The warrior grade Strength Bear roared fiercely and charged forward. Its clenched fist suddenly opened, releasing a wave of grayish white spiritual power that slammed toward the Reds in front of Blaze Regret.


    Powerful Stone Palm!


    Seeing the bear''s palm strike, which resembled a rock, Red snorted lightly and casually raised its claws as if it hadn''t eaten enough.


    "You''re dead!" Smith Zent''s eyes lit up. Could it be that this spirit beast was so frightened by his warrior grade Strength Bear that it had frozen in place? It must be seeking death!


    "Bang!"


    A slight collision sound echoed, and a ripple of dust spread out with Red and the warrior grade Strength Bear at its center. However, the scene everyone expected Red being crushed to death on the spot did not occur.


    The disproportionate paws pressed against each other. Red looked at the massive warrior grade Strength Bear, its mouth curling slightly. Then, in a flash, it moved with terrifying speed, swinging its sharp claws toward the bear''s head.


    The bear''s expression changed dramatically, and it quickly raised its paw to shield its head. However, the sharp claws pierced through its paw and, with a trace of blood, embedded themselves in its skull.


    With a swift pull, Red withdrew its sharp claws and pushed off the ground with its paw, landing gracefully back on the earth.


    "Clang!"


    The Warrior Grade Strength Bear, eyes wide with disbelief, was sent reeling backward by Red''s powerful kick. Its massive body crashed into the ground, creating a deep indentation.

 Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Spirit Restoration Pills

    Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at Mon Dark and asked, "Captain Mon, may I ask, do I have the qualifications now?"The roar of the Warrior Grade Strength Bear echoed in their ears. Everyone looked at the blood flowing on the ground with a sense of bewilderment. A mid level ninth rank warrior grade spirit beast had been killed just like that?


    David Chen and Kartis Miller were relatively calm, their expressions returning to normal after a brief shock. However, Roberth Brown, standing at the front of the crowd, had a hidden cold glint flash in his eyes.


    Facing Mon Dark''s cold gaze, Blaze Regret sneered inwardly. If it had been a high level warrior Warrior Grade Strength Bear, it might have been able to grapple with Red for a while. But the difference in ranks brought Smith Zent''s Warrior Grade Strength Bear to the same level as Red.

    When Red was at the seventh rank, it could already take down a ninth rank giant colossus, let alone now, having broken through to the eighth rank.


    "The tomb door of the Blazing Spirit Tomb is broken!"


    Just as Mon Dark was about to speak, a cry of surprise suddenly erupted from the crowd. Immediately, many strong figures at the scene rushed down the valley, madly speeding towards the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb.


    With treasures to be had, who would care about the conflict between Blaze Regret and the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?


    "Hope you come out alive," Mon Dark said coldly, casting a glance before moving with the members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group towards the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb.


    Seeing Mon Dark leave, Blaze Regret slowly unclenched his tightly gripped fist. Fortunately, Mon Dark did not suspect him for Mon Star''s death. Otherwise, even with all his reservations, Mon Dark would have certainly acted out of anger.


    But who could have imagined that someone who could boldly infiltrate the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, kill Mon Star, and remain undetected by two spirit Imperial master experts, would be just a small spirit warrior master?


    Watching Amelia, dressed in black and wrapped in a cyan water shield, drift into the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, Blaze Regret also moved, rushing in with the crowd.


    At the mountain top, only Smith Zent remained, kneeling on the ground, his face ashen.


    Upon entering the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, countless complex passages appeared before Blaze Regret. After a moment''s hesitation, he chose the one with the fewest people and walked quickly towards it.


    "Plop!"


    Throwing a pebble into the passage, Blaze Regret smiled faintly upon seeing no traps activate and was about to step in.


    "You''re quite cautious," the voice of Master Magi sounded in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "Ah!"


    Screams suddenly echoed from several passages. One spirit hunter was even directly pierced through the chest by a thick steel arrow, spanning dozens of meters and pinning him harshly to the ground.


    "It''s never a bad idea to be more cautious," Blaze Regret shrugged slightly, glancing at the corpse behind him.


    "There are so many secret chambers..."


    Walking through the narrow passage, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but marvel at the numerous dark chambers. How bored must the Blazing Spirit King have been to create so many secret rooms?


    Coming to a secret chamber without a door, Blaze Regret extended his hand slightly forward, only to be stopped by an invisible barrier that blocked him from entering.


    "A restriction?" Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow.


    Red leaped down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder, its claws enveloped in a faint blue flame. After a few swipes, the restriction shattered like glass, dissipating into spiritual energy.


    Releasing Night Feather Fireflies, Blaze Regret stepped into the secret chamber. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn''t help but laugh bitterly. The large secret room contained only a single gold coin!


    Feeling unlucky, Blaze Regret walked out and tried a few more times, finally discovering a pattern.


    The easier the restriction was to break, the more ordinary the items inside the secret chamber. Conversely, the harder the restriction, the more precious the items tended to be.


    With this realization, Blaze Regret nodded at Red. Red swiped its claws, sending out fire spikes ring that ricocheted off each secret chamber''s entrance, eventually disappearing into the distance.


    Under this attack, the restrictions of most secret chambers shattered with a crack. Red chirped lightly and continued to conjure several more fire spikes ring. The sound of breaking restrictions continuously echoed through the passage.


    "The last secret chamber!"


    Blaze Regret''s face lit up as he looked at the secret chamber where the fire spikes ring had bounced off. He hurriedly walked over, and Red blinked, following closely. Spiritual energy surged into its claws, and with one swipe,


    "Crack!"


    Cracks quickly spread across the doorway of the secret chamber, finally giving way as it shattered into countless fragments of energy that scattered everywhere.


    "So many elixirs!"


    As Blaze Regret stepped into the secret chamber, his gaze swept across the room, and his heart skipped a beat. He was greeted by a mountain of elixirs, filling most of the space. The rich aroma of the medicinal herbs made Blaze Regret''s head spin.


    "Spirit Restoration Pills?" Blaze Regret picked up an elixir and sniffed it, a trace of delight flashing in his eyes.


    The Spirit Restoration Pill, like the Qi Restoration Pill, could restore spiritual energy. However, the former could be consumed by spirit masters to directly replenish the spiritual energy within their spiritual portals, making it far more convenient and of higher grade than the latter.


    Without a second thought, Blaze Regret opened the void realms Stone and stored all the Spirit Restoration Pills inside. Unfortunately, the secret chamber only contained elixirs and not the recipe for making them. Otherwise, Blaze Regret could have made them himself once he advanced to a fourth grade alchemist.


    Shaking his head to dispel his disappointment, Blaze Regret chuckled self deprecatingly. "Greedy enough to swallow an elephant," he thought. Obtaining so many elixirs was already a huge windfall. Anyone else would be overjoyed, yet here he was, still complaining.

 Chapter 196: Chapter 196 Spirit Power Room

    "Damn it, the last secret chamber can''t be opened at all. What a waste of time!"A grumbling voice suddenly echoed down the passage. Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. Could it be that the most valuable item in this passage wasn''t the elixirs but something else entirely?


    Striding out of the secret chamber, Blaze Regret saw several figures quickly passing by. Each person wore an expression of deep regret. Nothing was more disappointing than having treasure within reach but being unable to obtain it. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hmm? This Blazing Spirit King is quite interesting, making even such things," Master Magi''s hidden voice chuckled, concealed in the air.


    "You know what that is?" Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows in surprise.


    "Of course, but you''ll have to see for yourself what it is," Master Magi replied with a shake of his head, offering no further explanation.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret could only give up asking further questions.


    "Splat!"


    The heavy footsteps came to a halt as Blaze Regret stood before the final secret chamber door. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a sudden wave of his hand, a chilling ice blade flew out, striking the barrier forcefully.


    To Blaze Regret''s astonishment, the ice blade shattered upon impact with the barrier, disintegrating completely without leaving even a trace of ice shards.


    With a light snort, he crossed his Fire claws, summoning two fire spikes rings that merged into one and shot straight out. The barrier of the secret chamber weakened slightly.


    "It worked!"


    A gleam of joy flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He immediately retrieved a Spirit Restoration Pill from the Void realms Stone and swallowed it. Red continued to manifes Fire spikes rings, relentlessly attacking the barrier. Finally, under the relentless storm of fiery assaults, the barrier shattered with a crisp crack.


    Upon seeing the restriction break, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with delight as he stepped into the secret chamber. However, the scene inside made his brows furrow there was absolutely nothing inside, not even a single hair.


    "Could it be an illusion?"


    Considering this possibility, Blaze Regret took out a few gold coins and tossed them into various corners. The clear sound of them hitting the ground made his heart sink.


    "Don''t you know? This secret chamber is actually a spirit power room, which is worth much more than the secret chamber you just entered," Master Magi said with a faint smile.


    "A spirit power room?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi in surprise.


    "A spirit power room is a type of auxiliary cultivation method. Those inside can receive spiritual energy that is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more concentrated than the outside world, with negligible side effects. It is extremely common in some major families or powerful organizations," Master Magi explained.


    "That''s terrifying!" Blaze Regret was shocked, then felt a bit uneasy. If the Kartis family had one, wouldn''t he be unable to keep up with Kartis Van''s pace no matter how hard he trained?


    "I mentioned major families." As if knowing what Blaze Regret was thinking, Master Magi sneered. The Kartis family might be dominant in the Sun Moon Empire, but in the eyes of the true strong, they were nothing more than a slightly larger ant.


    Hearing this, the stone in Blaze Regret''s heart slowly lifted, and he shook his head with a wry smile. Even a terrifying existence like the Kartis family was nothing in Master Magi''s eyes. He couldn''t imagine what the world outside was like.


    "Let me find the activation spot for this spirit power room." Master Magi''s gaze shifted, and his figure slowly floated over, stopping in front of a wall. He gently knocked on the wall, and the stone bricks immediately retracted.


    "How cunning," Master Magi shook his head with a smile, then turned around and extended his palm toward .


    "What?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi in confusion, completely bewildered.


    "Did you think the spirit power room was free to use? Take out all your spirit cores, and I''ll show you how to use them," Master Magi said, gesturing with his hand in exasperation.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret quickly nodded and took out all the spirit cores from his void realms stone. There were at least a hundred of them, all obtained from his training in the mountains over the past period.


    "Not enough. Take out your Qi Replenishing Pills as well," Master Magi continued.


    Enjoy new chapters from M-V-L


    Blaze Regret''s lips twitched as he reluctantly placed all his Qi Replenishing Pills on the ground. If sold outside, these pills would fetch at least four to five hundred thousand gold coins. However, he understood the principle of "you can''t catch the wolf without sacrificing the child," so he could only let Master Magi have his way.


    "Don''t feel bad. The spirit power room can only be activated by spirit jade. On average, it takes ten thousand Imperial level spirit cores to refine a single small spirit jade. Using pills to refine it is a last resort, but a small spirit jade powered spirit power room is enough to raise both your Red and Ice Control Irenix by one level," Master Magi said with a smile.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret felt a bit better. As long as it could increase his strength, he was willing to pay the price.


    With a grasp of his hand, Master Magi caused all the Qi Replenishing Pills and spirit cores on the ground to shatter, transforming into a stream of spiritual power that flowed into his palm. As the spiritual power continued to condense, a flat, pure white object began to take shape.


    "This is the spirit jade. The rest is up to you."


    After refining a small spirit jade, Master Magi''s voice sounded slightly weak. He gently waved his hand, tossing the spirit jade to Blaze Regret before retreating back into the void realms stone.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll get that page of yours even if it costs my life," Blaze Regret said, his voice tinged with gratitude as he held the spirit jade.

 Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Killing Intent

    *Sorry for late update. I work today.At the moment when the void realms stone burst into golden light on the mountaintop, he had already realized that Master Magi must have sensed something in the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, causing such a reaction.


    Walking to the recessed part of the wall, Blaze Regret carefully inserted the spirit jade. Instantly, tangible spiritual energy began to seep out from every corner of the secret chamber, and the broken restriction started to repair itself bit by bit.


    Experience new stories with M-V-L


    As the spiritual energy grew denser, Blaze Regret sat down joyfully amidst the white mist. The Ice Control Irenix emerged from his second spirit portal, joining the Red in absorbing the precious, dense spiritual energy.


    As Blaze Regret gradually entered a meditative state, threads of spiritual power suddenly shot out from his spirit portal, connecting with the Red and Ice Control Irenix. These threads intertwined around the crystal nucleus of the spirit portal, linking the three together in a fascinating scene.


    The man and the two beasts slowly closed their eyes, feeling the rapid flow of spiritual power within them. The secret chamber became extraordinarily quiet, with only the subtle sound of breathing echoing softly.


    Time passed little by little.


    The auras of the Red and Ice Control Irenix gradually strengthened, and the spiritual power that Blaze Regret''s spirit portal could accommodate continuously expanded. In the faintest moments, Blaze Regret could even hear the pleasant sound of spiritual energy flowing between the three of them.


    It was hard to tell how much time had passed...


    "Bang!"


    A dull crash suddenly echoed through the secret chamber, causing the restriction to shake. Blaze Regret, who was inside, turned slightly pale, and the Red and Ice Control Irenix beside him spat out blood, their auras weakening.


    Blaze Regret''s eyelids snapped open, and his eyes filled with anger.


    Blaze Regret", I know you''re in there. Open the restriction immediately, or I''ll force my way in!"


    Outside the door, an arrogant voice slowly sounded, and the assault on the restriction did not cease. The continuous banging was particularly grating.


    Hearing this voice, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. This person must be Roberth Brown!


    "Heh, heh. If I hadn''t caught someone on the way, I wouldn''t have known there was a treasure in this secret chamber. Come out quickly and hand over the treasure, and maybe I''ll forgive your insolence," Roberth Brown''s smug voice echoed again.


    Looking at the bloodstains in front of the Red and Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret stood up with a dark expression and whispered, "Are you okay?"


    The Red and Ice Control Irenix nodded lightly, their eyes sharp as they looked towards the door.


    Fortunately, they had reached the final moment. If they had been disturbed before the breakthrough, they would have been seriously injured. Even now, their newly advanced ninth level auras were somewhat unstable, all thanks to Roberth Brown outside the chamber.


    "Clang!"


    The restriction trembled under the violent impact, on the verge of shattering at any moment.


    slowly walked to the recessed area and infused a wisp of spiritual power. The restriction immediately dissipated.


    "Haha, good that you know your place. Hand over whatever you found!"


    Roberth Brown swaggered in, extending his hand with a smug smile as he looked at .


    Looking at Roberth Brown''s smiling face, a sharp glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes, and he clenched his fist tightly.


    "What, not willing? It seems defeating Smith Zent has given you too much confidence."


    Roberth Brown chuckled lightly, then stamped his foot on the ground. A powerful pressure of spiritual energy enveloped Blaze Regret. "Since that''s the case, I''ll have to cripple you first and then slowly make you spit it out."


    A Spirit Imperial Master?


    Feeling the aura emanating from Roberth Brown, Blaze Regret''s face slightly tensed up. Compared to the past in Hildan Town, Roberth Brown''s momentum had undoubtedly increased significantly. It appeared that Roberth Brown had deliberately held back when he attacked the tomb gate on the high ground.

    "I originally wanted to save my strength for dealing with Charles taylor, but since you''re so inconsiderate, don''t blame me for being rude." Roberth Brown''s voice suddenly turned icy. The purple ground lichen at his feet suddenly exploded with spores, scattering a white powder throughout the dark room.


    "Purple Lichen Powder?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. Purple Lichen Powder, released from the spores of the purple ground lichen, would render both Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts powerless, leaving them at the mercy of their enemies.


    Seeing the incoming dust, the Ice Control Irenix moved swiftly, positioning itself in front of the Red. Its ice wings vibrated rapidly, causing a cold wind to surge forth, sweeping all the white powder out of the room. Each particle of powder was encased in light blue ice crystals, looking quite magnificent.


    "A dual source Spirit Master? Heh, heh, I''ve already investigated your background thoroughly. Your struggle is merely delaying your inevitable death." Roberth Brown sneered disdainfully.


    The purple ground lichen shuddered, and a vast amount of purple powder rose up, quickly condensing above it. Within a few breaths, it transformed into a purple leaf.


    The leaf, about the size of a palm, glowed with a purple light, its edges glinting sharply.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as the purple leaf formed, it shot out violently. Red opened its claws, forming two fire spikes rings that merged together, then hurled them fiercely at the incoming leaf.


    "Crack!"


    At the moment of collision, the purple leaf and the fire spikes ring both froze in mid air. Cracks rapidly spread across them, and with a crisp sound, they shattered.


    Unfazed by the broken offensive, the Purple Lichen trembled, and its purple mycelium quickly climbed up the walls of the dark room. Within a few breaths, the walls were entirely covered, and as they wriggled, a faint purple hue was cast on Blaze Regret''s face, who stood in the middle of the room.


    The spreading mycelium gradually stopped, and small purple buds started appearing on its surface, pulsing gently like a heartbeat.

    "Purple Lichen, Thousand Thorn Array!"


    As soon as Roberth Brown finished speaking, the pulsing buds instantly bloomed, revealing sharp thorns within. In the next moment, they shot out like purple rays of light, filling the sky and creating a terrifying scene of thousands of thorns raining down.


    The sharp whistling of the wind filled the air as the Ice Control Irenix spread its wide ice wings, enveloping both Blaze Regret and the Red. A layer of ice covered its body, allowing the purple thorns to fall upon it.


    "Foolish," Roberth Brown sneered, thinking Blaze Regret was more formidable than he actually was. To let a ninth level Ice Control Irenix withstand the Purple Lichen''s strongest attack with its body was he tired of living?

    One by one, the purple glinting thorns pierced through the air, mercilessly striking the Ice Control Irenix. But instead of causing damage, they shattered into pieces with a series of crisp sounds, falling powerlessly to the ground.


    "How can it be so tough?"


    Seeing this, a look of incredulous horror spread across Roberth Brown''s face. He had expected the Thousand Thorn Array to pierce the Ice Control Irenix''s body full of holes. Yet now, it hadn''t even shown signs of injury. How could this be?


    "And you call that a Imperial level spiritual technique?"


    Blaze Regret sneered through the gap between the Ice Control Irenix''s wings. "Would you like to see mine?"


    The Red leapt out, its blue eyes glancing at the Purple Lichen on the surrounding walls. A flicker of flame began to rise within its eyes, and a wave of blue spiritual energy gradually spread out.


    "What kind of spiritual technique is this?" Roberth Brown''s face turned pale. This aura had far surpassed the level of a Imperial. Even the Purple Lichen''s Thousand Thorn Array paled in comparison.


    "Whoosh!"


    A beam of blue energy shot out from the Red''s eyes, directly hitting the Purple Lichen and sweeping across it. A charred mark instantly appeared on the wall, and the mycelium that had been attached there vanished completely.


    "Stop it!" Roberth Brown shouted angrily at Blaze Regret as he heard the Purple Lichen''s shrill screams.


    The sound fell on deaf ears as the Red''s actions did not halt. The blue energy beam circled the walls several times. Only when the shrill screams ceased entirely did it stop, its blue eyes returning to clarity.


    Blaze Regret, his expression cold, looked at the crazed Roberth Brown. He walked slowly toward him and grasped his neck firmly.


    "You and I have no grudge, yet you came to break down my door, almost killing my two spiritual beasts. This outcome is your own doing," Blaze Regret said coldly.


    "Cough, cough! What do your spiritual beasts have to do with me? If they die, they die. But you killed my Purple Lichen, and I won''t let you off!" Roberth Brown shouted crazily, his face contorted under Blaze Regret''s strong grip.


    "You won''t have that chance."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes turned cold as he repeatedly slammed Roberth Brown into the ground. The sound of impacts echoed, and cracks spread across the floor.


    "You like breaking down doors, huh? Try it again if you can!" Blaze Regret swung his hand forcefully, sending Roberth Brown crashing into the wall. Roberth Brown''s body slid down, his eyes wide open like a dead fish, barely breathing.


    Dusting off his hands, the violence on Blaze Regret''s face gradually faded. He let out a sigh of relief, then squatted down and fed two healing pills to the Red and the Ice Control Irenix.


    Gently rubbing their little heads, Blaze Regret waited until the medicine took full effect. Only then did he safely return the Ice Control Irenix to its spiritual portal. Placing the Red on his shoulder, he walked out of the dark room.


    At this moment, the various passageways were filled with countless silhouettes moving about. Many spirit hunters were fighting fiercely over treasures, while others, having obtained something valuable, wisely chose to leave.


    The aura of a ninth level spirit warrior grade master was revealed. Blaze Regret walked through the crowd with an indifferent expression. The surrounding spirit hunters immediately made way for him, showing considerable wariness.


    After all, in this entire tomb chamber, as long as no spirit Imperial master intervened, any ninth level spirit warrior grade master could rampage at will.


    "Blaze Regret, turn left at the third passage, then enter. There is an item in that secret chamber that will be useful for your future," said Master Magi''s voice in Blaze Regret''s mind as he wandered aimlessly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded lightly. He squeezed through the crowded passage, broke the seal in front of the secret chamber, and stepped inside.


    In the middle of the secret chamber stood a stone pillar about ten feet high. Suspended above the pillar was a ball of light, within which was a vine about the size of a thumb.


    "Guiyuan Spirit Vine?" Blaze Regret recognized the vine at a glance but was puzzled. According to the information passed down by the Medicine Emperor, this vine was utterly useless.


    However, since Master Magi had spoken, it was best to try to obtain it.


    Thinking this, Blaze Regret took a few steps forward. Suddenly, the stone pillar beneath the ball of light shattered into small stone balls. These stone balls clinked together, forming a giant stone ball in mid air. The stone ball''s fiery eyes looked down coldly at Blaze Regret, surrounded by clusters of flames.


    "Flaming Stone Ball?" Blaze Regret was slightly startled and took a few steps back quietly.


    Although the Flaming Stone Ball appeared to be made of rock, it was actually a pure fire attribute spiritual beast with an extremely hard body and was very difficult to deal with.


    Sorry for late update. I got work to do.

 Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Water Poison

    The Flaming Stone Ball looked at Blaze Regret coldly. Its body trembled, and the flames surrounding it quickly condensed into floating fire beads. As the flames rose, the surrounding moisture quickly evaporated."Whoosh!"


    Under the control of the Flaming Stone Ball, dozens of fire beads suddenly shot out, trailing fiery streaks directly toward Blaze Regret''s vital points.


    "So, it''s not even at the Imperial level."


    Sensing the true strength of the Flaming Stone Ball, Blaze Regret grinned. The Red on his shoulder didn''t even move; two energy beams shot out from his beautiful eyes, shattering all the incoming fire beads.


    "Boom!"


    After shattering the fire beads, the energy beams continued with undiminished force, heavily striking the Flaming Stone Ball''s body and slamming it into the wall. A spiderweb like crack appeared on the wall behind it.


    With a wave of his hand, the Guiyuan Spirit Vine fell into his palm. Without looking back, Blaze Regret walked out of the secret chamber. Although the Flaming Stone Ball wasn''t completely dead due to its hard body, he had no intention of delivering a finishing blow.


    Gazing at the bustling crowd, Blaze Regret squinted slightly. He didn''t believe that the treasure of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb was just what was in these passageways. The real treasures should be in the main tomb chamber.


    After bypassing several passageways and evading traps deadly enough to kill an ordinary ninth level spirit warrior grade master, a dimly lit secret passage appeared before Blaze Regret. Countless oil lamps lined the passage, still burning after countless years. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Click!"


    The crisp sound of footsteps echoed from behind. Blaze Regret''s heart tightened, and shards of ice imbued with bone chilling cold materialized in his hand, ready to guard against a sudden sneak attack.


    "It''s you?" Blaze Regret''s expression froze when he saw the black clad girl behind him. The ice shards in his hand dissipated unwittingly.


    The black clad girl walked past Blaze Regret without a glance, her glassy eyes showing no emotion. She entered the secret passage, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the air.


    Feeling a bit awkward, Blaze Regret touched his nose in frustration, while the Red on his shoulder mischievously tugged at his hair.


    "Hiss!"


    Just as Nor Amelia stepped in, small black snakes suddenly slithered out from the cracks in the wall, flicking their scarlet tongues and wriggling menacingly towards her.


    With an indifferent expression, Nor Amelia walked forward without slowing down. The black snakes, thinking they had found an opportunity, suddenly sprang up, their scarlet mouths wide open, hissing menacingly as the sound echoed through the passage.


    "Liquid Tornado!"


    A calm voice rang out as Water fairy beside Nor Amelia began to spin rapidly. A massive azure water tornado roared out with its rotation, sweeping in all directions. The black snakes that lunged at them were instantly shredded into bloody mist by the water tornado.


    "Fourth stage High level Imperial grade Spirit Water fairy." Blaze Regret''s throat felt dry. Though he couldn''t gauge Nor Amelia''s strength, seeing the Water fairy, he figured she must be at least a fourth stage spirit Imperial grade master.


    And that didn''t even account for the mysterious water type beast...


    "Cough, cough!"


    As Blaze Regret''s thoughts wandered, Nor Amelia suddenly stopped, covering her red lips with a jade like hand. A streak of crimson blood trickled down through her fingers.


    "Hiss!"


    At that moment, a barely alive black snake on the ground suddenly darted up, aiming to bite Nor Amelia''s snowy white neck.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes twitched sharply. With a wave of his hand, shards of ice flew out, pinning the black snake to the ground with a clang.


    Pulling a handkerchief from her bosom, Nor Amelia wiped the blood from her delicate hands without any expression, then continued walking forward, completely ignoring the innocent looking Blaze Regret behind her.


    "Hey, I did save you. A ''thank you'' wouldn''t be too much to ask!" Blaze Regret followed closely, his voice full of frustration.


    "Swish!"


    A cerulean light swept through the air as Nor Amelia pointed a water ripple sword at Blaze Regret''s neck, her voice icy: "Take one more step, and I will kill you."


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly as he forced a bitter smile. "There are only a few paths to the main tomb chamber. You can''t expect me to go back, can you?"


    Stay tuned for updates on M-V-L


    Nor Amelia''s delicate brows furrowed slightly, her voice still icy: "That''s not my concern."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to say something, a voice from Master Magi made his eyes light up: "Your recent injury must have been caused by a backlash due to the excessive water poison, right?"


    Nor Amelia''s pretty face changed slightly as she slowly replied, "What does that have to do with you?"


    Seeing Nor Amelia''s reaction, Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. "You came to the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb to neutralize this backlash, didn''t you? If you trust me, I can help you with that."


    After a moment of contemplation, Nor Amelia slowly lowered the water ripple sword in her hand. Her cold, glassy eyes stared directly at Blaze Regret. Though her face remained indifferent, it was still captivating.


    In the quiet dark passage, two figures walked slowly, the dull sound of footsteps echoing clearly.


    With a slight glance, Blaze Regret looked at Nor Amelia''s cold and indifferent face, then quietly withdrew his gaze and refocused on the slightly dim ground ahead.


    Water poison is a condition that occurs in some water element spiritual masters. When they exceed the limits of their spiritual portal and form a contract with a powerful spiritual beast, there is a high chance of suffering a backlash from water poison. Spiritual masters afflicted by this are in constant pain.


    However, Nor Amelia is quite special. The backlash she experienced came from an even more terrifying mystical beast, causing her pain to be several times greater than that of ordinary spirit masters.

 Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Mutate Again

    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart. Despite her suffering, Nor Amelia showed no sign of it on her face her resilience was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."Whoosh!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was contemplating, a breeze suddenly whistled through the dark corridor. The oil lamps on both sides swayed slightly with the airflow, producing creaking sounds that seemed especially eerie in the dim passageway.


    "Be careful, something seems off," Nor Amelia halted her steps, her slightly narrowed beautiful eyes scanning every direction of the dark path.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched. The temperature in the dark passage seemed to be slowly rising unknowingly. At the moment Nor Amelia''s voice fell, a wave of scorching wind swept through.


    "Whoosh!"


    Clusters of flames suddenly soared from each oil lamp, swiftly converging in mid air. Under the solemn gazes of Blaze Regret and Nor Amelia, the flames transformed into a fire snake over ten meters long. The intense firelight instantly brightened the previously dark passage as if it were daylight.


    Staring at the fire snake coiling in mid air, Blaze Regret was startled, for he sensed no signs of life from it. This meant that the fire snake was entirely formed of flames! The snake hissed, and its mouth suddenly opened wide, spewing a scarlet flame like a small sea of fire.


    Just as the Red were about to sweep down on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Nor Amelia let out a cold snort. Water Fairy twirled his hands, and a powerful water cannon formed from azure waves, instantly dispersing the fiery wave and then blasting the fire snake''s body, causing it to scatter.


    As clusters of flames rained down, Blaze Regret''s expression changed slightly. Those flames expanded and quickly wriggled, transforming into dozens of fire snakes that coiled around the dark passage, their sinister eyes fixed on the two of them.


    Nor Amelia''s brows furrowed slightly as Water Fairy''s hands moved continuously, sending out water cannons that shattered the fire snakes. However, the number of fire snakes only increased, making the entire passageway cramped.


    "That oil lamp..." Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted to the end of the dark corridor where a single oil lamp still burned alone, tiny flames flickering above it.


    "I''ll handle these fire snakes. You go break that oil lamp."


    Nor Amelia''s commanding voice left no room for doubt. Blaze Regret let out a bitter smile before his expression turned stern. He stamped his foot on the ground and charged forward. The surrounding fire snakes immediately became agitated, opening their menacing mouths to bite down.


    "Water Arrows!"


    With Nor Amelia''s soft cry, countless water droplets appeared in front of Water Fairy, transforming into clear water arrows that pierced through the fire snakes.


    With Nor Amelia''s help, Blaze Regret broke through the fire snakes'' heavy blockade and reached the oil lamp. Without hesitation, the Red on his shoulder swung a claw at it.


    "Clang!"


    The oil lamp fell to the ground, and a cluster of flames leapt out, letting out a startled scream as it fled deeper into the passage. The rampaging fire snakes vanished instantly.


    Seeing the fleeing flame, the Red''s eyes lit up. It stomped on the ground and charged forward at lightning speed, using its three tail to block the flame''s escape route. Then, it leapt into the air and swallowed the screaming flame in one gulp.


    "Burp~" Sitting on the ground, Red patted his belly and let out a satisfied burp, with a thin wisp of white smoke curling up from his mouth.


    Walking over slowly, Nor Amelia looked at Red sitting on the ground and blinked her serene eyes in confusion.


    "Don''t ask me, I don''t know anything," Blaze Regret said with a bitter smile and a shrug. Red''s behavior was beyond his expectations.


    "Roar!" S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Find exclusive content at M-V-L


    A low growl sounded as Red suddenly placed all four paws on the ground. Torrents of blue flames began to burn from his body, and amid the blue, a faint yellow hue suddenly emerged.


    "This is..."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes widened slightly, a hint of joy quickly spreading across his face. "Is it going to mutate.


    The last time Red mutated was in fire source cave. Blaze Regret had thought that the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was Red''s final form, but the scene before him shattered that belief in an instant.


    "Blood falls into Longyuan, divine flames descend from the southern mountains, dividing into nine parts and scattered among the world," Nor Amelia said, watching the yellow flames gradually dominating. A hint of astonishment flashed deep within her eyes.


    "What?" Blaze Regret looked at Nor Amelia in confusion.


    "Nothing, maybe I''m overthinking it," Nor Amelia said coldly, shaking her head. She then formed a seal with her hands, and a clear water shield enveloped Red.


    Gently lowering her jade like hand, Nor Amelia turned her back and let out a soft cough. Blaze Regret watched her trembling shoulders, his lips tightly pressed together, not knowing what she was thinking.


    The yellow flames seemed to be in a fierce battle, furiously clashing with the remaining blue flames. A dazzling light burst forth from Red''s forehead, and a mark like the sun gradually appeared.


    "Roar!"


    Red''s small paw struck the ground, sending waves of fiery ripples rapidly sweeping out. The sun mark on its forehead flickered once before disappearing into thin air.


    "Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat?" Blaze Regret''s eyes sparkled with joy as he looked at Red, unable to suppress the excitement in his voice.


    The Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat is an even rarer existence than the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat. According to the records of the entire Sun Moon Empire, it has only appeared once. The flames it wields, known as Sun Blazing Flames, far exceed the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s flames in both temperature and destructive power.


    "It actually succeeded." Nor Amelia turned around and whispered incredulously, the shock in her eyes fleeting.


    Sorry for late update. Bonus Chapter for 200 power stone will ne post this week.

 Chapter 201: Chapter 201 Fire Blade Winged Serpent

    Wagging its three little tail, which was now flickering with yellow flames, Red immediately entered a state of bewitchment. With a light swipe of its paw, the hard rock on the ground was effortlessly slashed, leaving deep marks. At the edges of those marks, the yellow light shimmered brightly."A mid tier Imperial level attack should be sufficient." Nor Amelia smiled faintly, her delicate face resembling an otherworldly black lotus, untouched by dust.


    "Since It''ve broken through to the intermediate Imperial grade, It should have mastered a new spiritual skill, right?" Blaze Regret walked in the dark passage, looking expectantly at the Red on his shoulder.


    Red wrinkled its small nose, mimicking Blaze Regret''s expression, and helplessly spread its claws.


    "An intermediate Imperial Grade Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat will not have new spiritual skills. Only when it breaks through to the Imperial level will it master the spiritual skill Flame Crystal Edge," Nor Amelia said calmly.


    "Flame Crystal Edge?" Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows in surprise, then a look of excitement flashed across his face.


    When he was browsing the ancient books transformed by Master Magi in Veloria City, he had seen this spiritual skill. Flame Crystal Edge can condense flames into crystal pillars to attack the enemy from all directions. If mastered to a certain extent, it can even penetrate the enemy''s body from the inside, which is extremely terrifying.


    "Stop."


    A crisp voice sounded, and Nor Amelia stopped, walking to a wall. She stretched out her slender, fair fingers and began to outline a complex pattern on the wall, which made Blaze Regret dizzy.


    As Nor Amelia withdrew her fingers, a pitch black dark slot suddenly appeared on the wall. Then, two stone doors dropped down on either side of the passage with a loud crash.


    "What happened?" Blaze Regret''s scanning gaze carried a trace of shock.


    "Didn''t you say you wanted to help me?" Nor Amelia said with a faint smile, then brushed her hand over the void realms Stone, producing dozens of white jade pieces in her palm and inserting them into the dark slot.


    Seeing those white jade pieces, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but be stunned. They were all spirit jades!


    The price of a single spirit jade is roughly estimated to be 500,000 gold coins. Ten pieces would be five million, enough to buy almost half of Velorian City.


    "Rich!" Blaze Regret muttered to himself as he looked at the calm faced Nor Amelia.


    "Click!"


    As all ten spirit jades were inserted, Nor Amelia gently stepped back. The wall in front of them suddenly opened to the sides, revealing an iron door with a handprint like indentation on its surface.

    "Inject a sufficient amount of fire type spiritual energy, and this door will open," Nor Amelia said softly.


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret walked to the iron door, spread his right palm, and pressed it heavily into the indentation. Visible yellow spiritual energy surged from his palm and was greedily absorbed by the iron door.


    As the spiritual energy was infused, yellow light spread from Blaze Regret''s palm, slowly permeating the entire iron door.


    Experience new stories with M-V-L


    "Without me, you wouldn''t be able to open this door, right?" Blaze Regret looked at Nor Amelia with a bit of smugness. Since the beginning, he had finally found a moment to feel significant.


    "There are twenty seven fire type spiritual masters who entered the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb. Sixteen have already died in the passage. As long as I capture a few more, this door can still be opened," Nor Amelia said expressionlessly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched, and he turned away with a face full of black lines. It seemed he was one of the remaining eleven...


    The yellow spiritual energy slowly surged over the iron door. Sweat dripped from Blaze Regret''s forehead, falling in tiny droplets to the ground. Only when the last trace of spiritual energy was infused did they hear a crisp "click." Some mechanism inside the iron door finally unlocked, and the door began to separate to the sides.


    "Why is your spiritual energy so refined?" Nor Amelia looked at Blaze Regret in some surprise. She had thought he would need to rest several times to open this door, but he had done it in one go.


    "Hehe, just a good foundation," Blaze Regret smiled, taking a Rejuvenating Pill from the void realm Stone and unabashedly popping it into his mouth.


    This was only his first spiritual portal. The spiritual energy of his second spiritual portal was ice attributed, so he hadn''t used it. If Nor Amelia knew, she would surely be even more astonished.


    Nor Amelia nodded and then stepped into a dark chamber. This chamber was much more spacious than the passage outside, and a faint flame element permeated the air within.


    "Fire Blade Winged Serpent, come out!"


    Nor Amelia''s cold and clear voice rang out. In an instant, a faint hissing sound echoed through the dark chamber. A massive fireball suddenly appeared above, and as it rotated, the air in the room became noticeably drier.


    "Hiss!"


    On either side of the fireball, a pair of blade like fiery wings burst open. The flames on the fireball then contracted as if being sucked in by a crimson mouth.


    "Fire Blade Winged Serpent, mid tier at the second level of the Imperial rank," Blaze Regret muttered to himself as he looked at the wings with a fiery sheen.


    Raising her delicate face, Nor Amelia stared at the Fire Blade Winged Serpent suspended in mid air. She took a gentle step forward, walking towards it.


    Seeing Nor Amelia approaching, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent emitted a chilling hiss, its eyes filled with excitement.


    "If you''re injured, just stay put!" Blaze Regret strode in front of Nor Amelia, his voice carrying a tone that brooked no argument. The Red on his shoulder leaped down, its eyes filled with fighting spirit as it fixed its gaze on the Fire Blade Winged Serpent.

 Chapter 202: Chapter 202 Fire Blade Winged Serpent 2

    Watching Blaze Regret''s back, Nor Amelia was momentarily taken aback, her small mouth slightly open in surprise. Was she hearing things right? This boy, who had been fleeing from her not long ago, was now daring to shout at her?However, having someone stand up for her felt... not bad.


    Nor Amelia gently stroked the soft body of water fairy, quickly suppressing the hint of a smile on her lips. Her beautiful face once again adopted its usual cold demeanor.


    "Hiss!"


    Seeing the provocative look in Red''s eyes, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s pupils turned icy. With a flap of its wings, a dozen red fiery spiraling spikes shot down.


    Dodging to the left, Red evaded one of the spiraling spikes, quickly darting and maneuvering. Then, with its claws crossed, it unleashed a fire spikes ring that slashed at the Fire Blade Winged Serpent from a distance, slicing off several of its scales.


    Feeling the pain, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s face filled with intense killing intent. Its blade like wings, glowing with firelight, emitted a sharp whistling sound as they crazily slashed down towards Red.


    Flame Wing Rapid Slash!


    Watching the Fire Blade Winged Serpent rapidly flap its wings, Red clenched its claws, pale yellow flames coiling around them. Like a lightning bolt, it dashed toward the oncoming Fire Blade Winged Serpent.


    Blazing Claw and Rapid Claw, although only Red''s initial spirit techniques, had their power increased as Red''s strength grew. Therefore, dealing with the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s Flame Wing Rapid Slash wasn''t particularly taxing.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    In an instant, sparks flew continuously in the field as the two spirit beasts moved at incredible speeds. The hard ground, impacted by their clashes, cracked under the residual force.


    A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed continuously in the dark chamber. The two spirit beasts flickered back and forth. In an instant, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent spun in mid air, its broad fiery wings slashing down like a drawn sword, bringing with it a fierce, chilling wind.


    "Clang!"


    Claws met fiery wings, and the body of the Red was instantly sent flying backward. The Fire Blade Winged Serpent was also thrown back, but managed to stabilize itself by forcefully flapping its wings.


    With cold, sinister eyes, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent looked down at the Red and let out a sharp hiss. Crimson flames quickly spread from its tail, solidifying in an instant into a hard, bright armor.


    In a flash, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent appeared in front of the Red, its wings, now covered in fiery crystals, slashing down fiercely.


    "Boom!"


    A muffled sound was heard as the Red stepped on the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s head, quickly leaping into the air. The place where it had just stood now had a wide crack rapidly spreading, with the wall at the end covered in fissures.


    High in the air, the Red spread its claws, forming two fire spikes rings of thorns in a flash. The next moment, it continuously slashed at the Fire Blade Winged Serpent, sparks flying with each strike. However, apart from leaving numerous white marks, it caused no substantial damage.


    "So hard," Blaze Regret sighed lightly. After using its spirit skill Fire Armor, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s defense was comparable to that of a second tier high level Imperial grade. The dual fire spikes rings stood no chance of breaking through that defense. To defeat it, a stronger attack skill would be needed.


    Seeing the Red land, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s eyes filled with disdain. It flapped its wings, sending numerous sharp fiery spiral spikes towards the Red with crimson energy trails.


    "If two spike rings won''t do, then three spikes rings!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand. Pale yellow flames flared up with a whoosh, and he suddenly lowered himself, slamming his palm heavily onto the ground below.


    "Whoosh!"


    The scorching fiery zone instantly spread out, extending towards the Red.


    The Red let out a low growl, and from its palm, a surge of vigorous spiritual energy burst forth. In mid air, it transformed into a pale yellow spikes ring of fire, merging completely with the previous two spikes rings, and its size doubled.

    Under the control of the Red , the now three foot wide fire spike ring shot out rapidly, slicing through the oncoming fiery spiral spikes. It then streaked through the air, a pale yellow glow trailing behind, directly striking towards the underbelly of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent.


    The Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s face twitched slightly, sensing the terrifying aura contained within the fire spikes ring. It hurriedly brought its wings up to shield its abdomen.


    "Slash!"


    The sharp fire spikes ring, like a rapidly spinning blade, crashed against the wings of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent. A series of dazzling sparks erupted, and moments later, with a crisp cracking sound, a red crystal shard fell to the ground.


    It was a fragment of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s fiery armor.


    Find your next read on M-V-L


    The speed suddenly increased, and the fire spikes ring sliced through the wings of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent. Its rotating body abruptly halted, and the pale yellow light flashed frantically.


    "Boom!"


    The Red beast clenched its claws, causing the fire spikes ring to expand and then explode. The resulting pale yellow energy shockwave scraped off a layer from the walls of the dark chamber.


    A painful screech sounded, and the Fire Blade Winged Serpent, now terrified, cast a glance at the Red. Its body began to ignite, attempting to transform into a fireball and disappear from the scene.


    "Don''t let it escape," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    The Red stepped forward, its eyes emitting two beams of spiritual energy, over ten feet long, piercing through the air and striking the Fire Blade Winged Serpent. These beams, like sharp swords of light, penetrated directly through its body.


    With an unwilling flap of its wings, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s body swiftly disintegrated. With a clinking sound, a red jade fragment gently fell to the ground, trembling slightly.

 Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Jade Of The Flame King (Bonus)

    "Jade of the Flame King?" Master Magi''s incredulous voice echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind."What is that?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled, glancing at Nor Amelia. But she merely looked back at him coldly.


    "The Flame King''s Jade, to be precise, is a kind of spiritual treasure," Master Magi explained. "When some powerful spirit beasts perish, they transform into various rare and peculiar items. Some of these can be borrowed by other spirit beasts, becoming part of their bodies and enhancing their strength.


    Legend has it that the ancestor of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros acquired a dragon horn transformed from a true dragon, which granted it dragon blood and the ability to crush spirit beasts of the same rank."


    "What other uses does it have?" Blaze Regret asked, surprised but curious. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Other uses include what this Flame King''s Jade can do. When worn by a fire type spirit master, it can significantly shorten the time needed for cultivation, allowing spirit beasts within the spirit portal to break through quickly. Describing it as ''achieving a thousand miles in a single breath'' wouldn''t be an exaggeration.


    For water type and ice type spirit master, it can suppress water or ice toxins within their bodies."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret smacked his lips. He seemed to understand the origin of the name "Blazing Fire Spirit King." According to historical records of the Sun Moon Empire, this individual was once an unknown minor spirit master who suddenly rose to prominence overnight, defeating the strongest contemporaries until his eventual fall. He likely relied on the Flame King''s Jade.


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly, walked up to the Flame King''s Jade, and gently picked it up, wiping it with his sleeve.


    Seeing this, a trace of subtle disappointment flashed in Nor Amelia''s eyes, but she quickly sighed softly. In the face of such a treasure, who wouldn''t be tempted?


    "Here, take it. Our past misunderstandings are cleared up," Blaze Regret said, tossing the Flame King''s Jade through the air, where it landed in Nor Amelia''s palm.


    "Do you know what this is?" Nor Amelia asked incredulously, looking at Blaze Regret. This was the Flame King''s Jade, after all. Any fire type spirit master wearing it could smoothly ascend to the Spirit Sovereign level within three years, and might even touch the realm of powerful Spirit Celestial!


    "Does it matter if I know or not? It''s yours anyway," Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently. With the Flame King''s Jade, one might soar to great heights, but that wasn''t what he sought. A spirit master who grows through battles is the true strong one.


    Nor Amelia pressed her rosy lips together and gently placed the Flame King''s Jade inside her clothing, the vigilance in her eyes subtly fading away.


    From the momentary surprise in Blaze Regret''s eyes, it was clear he understood the value of the Flame King''s Jade. Although she didn''t know how he knew, any other spirit master would certainly not have handed it over so readily.


    "We''re close to the main burial chamber. How about we cooperate?" Blaze Regret suggested with a smile, looking at Nor Amelia.


    After glancing at Blaze Regret''s clear eyes, a faint smile appeared on Nor Amelia''s delicate face, the beautiful curve of her lips drawing one into a trance.


    In the dark passage, sharp arrows shot out from all directions. Water Fairy spun his hands, and a wide vortex of spiritual power swirled out, sweeping around and shattering the arrows into fragments.


    "The main burial chamber should be ahead," Nor Amelia said softly, her lively eyes fixed on the iron door in front.


    nodded and was about to order Red to blast it open when Nor Amelia, standing beside him, gently waved her hand.


    "Don''t force it open. There''s a hidden lock on the iron door. We just need to find a way to open it. If we damage the treasures inside, it would be a great loss," Nor Amelia said with a faint smile, walking slowly to the door.


    "You know about traps?" looked at Nor Amelia in surprise.


    "I''ve learned a bit," Nor Amelia replied with a nod and smile. She then fell silent, extending her slender fingers to gently press a small, protruding point on the door.


    As Nor Amelia''s finger moved the silver dot, it slowly shifted. The sheer number of these points, like stars, made turn his gaze away in frustration.


    "Click!"


    A crisp sound echoed. Nor Amelia clapped her hands lightly and took a few steps back.


    Stay connected with M-V-L


    With a clang, dust accumulated on the top of the iron door fell, and it began to lift slowly. Moments later, a spacious burial chamber appeared before their eyes.


    In the center of the chamber lay a massive coffin. Above it grew a huge fire tree, its dense branches stretching out. Six white, glowing orbs hung from the branches, each containing a vague shadow.


    "This must be the real treasure," said, licking his slightly dry lips, filled with excitement.


    "It seems no one else has arrived yet. Shall we split it?" Nor Amelia tilted her head and smiled.


    "Alright, I''ll go get them," grinned. Flames burst from his feet as he shot towards the fire tree, leaping lightly and reaching out to grab one of the glowing orbs.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, just as Blaze Regret was about to touch it, a lightning spear, crackling with electric sparks, suddenly shot at him with the sound of thunder, aimed straight at his heart.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed. Almost instinctively, he reversed his palm towards his chest, and a bone chilling ice blade slashed down hard.


    "Bang!"


    Stumbling to the ground, a trickle of blood appeared on Blaze Regret''s chest. At the spot where he had been standing, a sharp lightning spear was embedded in the ground, shattering the surface rock, with dazzling lightning coursing around it.


    Slowly straightening up, Blaze Regret looked at Kartis Miller, who was grinning mischievously. His gaze icy cold, he channeled cold energy into his palm to freeze the injured area.

    Update will change to 11 pm start tomorrow

 Chapter 204: Chapter 204 One Versus Two

    The lightning spear had come too fast for him to react, let alone use the tree trunk for support. He could only use the force from the ice blade to knock himself down."Unexpectedly, you''re the first to arrive. Not bad," Kartis Miller glanced at , smirking disdainfully. He walked over to the fire tree and reached out to grab one of the glowing orbs, as if the items on the tree naturally belonged to him.


    "Try extending your hand one more time."


    The cold voice that rang in his ears made Kartis Miller''s hand freeze. He turned back incredulously to see Nor Amelia standing there, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes. How could she be with Blaze Regret?


    When he had entered, he had been so focused on attacking Blaze Regret that he hadn''t noticed Nor Amelia standing at the exit of another dark passage.


    "Did you come in with Nor Amelia?" Kartis Miller asked with difficulty.


    "Does it matter to you?" Blaze Regret''s gaze grew colder as he looked at Kartis Miller. Beside him, Red''s eyes were equally sharp.


    If Blaze Regret hadn''t reacted quickly enough, a corpse would likely be lying on the ground now.


    "Take one and then step back."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to make a move, Nor Amelia''s voice suddenly came from behind him.


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Miller quickly nodded, grabbed one of the glowing orbs, and retreated hastily. His eyes were filled with apprehension when looking at Nor Amelia, but when he glanced at Blaze Regret, an uncontrollable chill surged from his pupils.


    Who do you think you are, standing next to Nor Amelia? If this were the heart of the empire, you''d be dead a thousand times over by now, you insignificant spirit master!


    "Ha ha, the treasures of the Blazing Fire Spirit King are indeed here!"


    A voice filled with surprise echoed from another dark passage. Mon Dark and Mon Den walked out side by side, their eyes brimming with undisguised greed as they looked at the glowing orbs on the fire tree.

    "Clack!" S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Charles taylor, with an indifferent expression, emerged from another dark passage just as Mon Dark and Mon Den entered the main burial chamber. He glanced at the people in the chamber, his face showing a hint of surprise, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor.


    This outcome was not far off from what he had anticipated, except for the unexpected presence of Blaze Regret.


    "It''s actually you?"


    Mon Den''s gaze landed on Blaze Regret, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "So you''ve become a Ninth level spirit warrior grade master. No wonder you had the courage to enter. But whether you can leave alive is another matter entirely."


    Blaze Regret slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at Mon Den, his voice indifferent: "Your Ice Silkworm can''t withstand three moves from me."


    Hearing this, Mon Den''s face twitched, and anger surged in his eyes. Just a month ago, he had forced Blaze Regret to jump into the Black water River, and now Blaze Regret was so arrogant?


    Despite his anger, Mon Den knew that Blaze Regret was not bluffing. Although he had found some opportunities in the secret chamber outside that allowed his Ice Silkworm to advance by one level, the strong restraint of fire type spirit beasts meant that a few claws could tear it apart.


    "Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat?" Mon Dark stared at the Red beside Blaze Regret, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. Wasn''t it a Two Tail Demon Flame Cat before? How did it become a Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat now?


    Could it be that this is the kid''s second spirit beast?


    For a moment, Mon Dark didn''t think about mutation, as the odds of a spirit beast mutating were extremely slim. He couldn''t believe Blaze Regret would have such luck.


    "So, how are we dividing these glowing orbs?" Charles taylor glanced around, his gaze lingering on Nor Amelia for a moment before quickly shifting away. If there was anyone in the room he was most reluctant to fight, it was undoubtedly this girl.


    "There are five left. We four brothers get four, and you get one," Mon Den said with a smile.


    At this point, Kartis Miller, who had obtained one of the glowing orbs, had long disappeared from the burial chamber. Mon Den, without thinking, took it upon himself to distribute the remaining orbs.


    "Think carefully; she''s not someone to mess with," Charles taylor said warily, glancing at Nor Amelia.


    "Then she can have two, we brothers get two, and you get one," Mon Den hesitated for a moment before speaking again. Judging from Kartis Miller and Charles taylor''s previous attitudes, he knew the girl had a formidable background, so he didn''t dare go too far and made the greatest possible concession.


    "That''s settled then," Mon Dark said indifferently, immediately stepping forward to collect the two glowing orbs into his void realms stone.


    "Hey, I don''t think I quite agree with that."


    With a slight shrug, Blaze Regret''s somewhat helpless voice slowly echoed.


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s voice, Charles taylor and Mon Dark were both taken aback. Immediately, their eyes, filled with thick mockery, turned to Blaze Regret.


    "So, how do you propose to divide it?" Charles taylor asked playfully, his smile full of sarcasm.


    "She and I will each take two, and the three of you will take one," Blaze Regret said seriously.


    "Haha!"


    As soon as Blaze Regret finished speaking, the three people present burst into laughter. Especially Mon Den, who laughed so hard that tears almost came out, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.


    "I have to say, you are quite the comedian. But if you''re serious, I''d say there''s something wrong with your head." Charles taylor pointed to his head and said calmly.


    "Alright, move aside quickly. We''ll settle some scores outside," Mon Den said impatiently, waving his hand. If it weren''t for the fear of unforeseen circumstances, he would have already told Mon Dark to kill Blaze Regret. But even so, he had no intention of letting Blaze Regret off.

    "Sigh, it seems they don''t believe in our strength." S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Blaze Regret sighed helplessly. Beside him, Red stepped forward slowly, the pale yellow flames on his body suddenly surged, making him look like a burning sun from a distance.


    "It seems you really have a death wish," Mon Dark''s cold voice echoed. As he stomped his foot on the ground, the hard ground instantly cracked open, and a ten meter long rock snake emerged from the fissure. Its massive body was connected by round rocks, making it extremely horrifying. On its forehead was a grey white single horn.


    "A mid tier, fourth rank Rock Horned Python, huh?" Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. Although the Rock Horned Python''s rank was high, with Red''s Flame Breath skill and his enhanced Flame Domain, it might not be impossible to fight it.


    "Leave it to me."


    Just as Red was about to leap out, Nor Amelia suddenly stepped forward. Water Fairy waved her small hand, and clear water droplets began to encircle her body.


    "How can this be!" Charles taylor''s face turned slightly unpleasant. His reaction was no less astonished than Kartis Miller''s earlier. The icy cold Nor Amelia from the central empire actually stepped in to help someone? And it was a male, no less...


    If this news got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar.


    "Whoosh!"


    Mon Dark saw Nor Amelia step out and was about to say something, but she clearly had no intention of wasting words. A water cannon, shimmering with wave like ripples and carrying a bit of moisture, blasted heavily onto the rock snake, forcing it back a bit.


    Seeing this, Mon Dark''s face turned cold. Having rampaged through Hildan Town for many years, with countless bloodstains on his hands, there was no way he would let someone attack him unchallenged. He drove the rock snake to charge at Water Fairy.


    If worse comes to worst, he would kill this girl and then make a run for it, no matter what her background!


    "Now, it''s just you left."


    Mon Den smiled faintly and looked at Charles taylor. "Let''s team up and take this kid down first. As for the treasures, we''ll split them as we discussed."


    "No problem," Charles taylor replied with a sinister smile. He might not dare to take on Nor Amelia, but he wasn''t afraid of killing this newly promoted spirit master weakling.


    "Whoosh!"


    A mass of black mist surged in front of Charles taylor, and a white skeleton slowly emerged from it. In its hollow eye sockets, two flames flickered gently.


    "Today, you''ll get a taste of my Ghost Sword Skeleton," Charles taylor grinned.


    The Ghost Sword Skeleton glanced indifferently at Red, then clenched its hand. The ground instantly cracked with fissures, and from the center of those fissures, a sword hilt made of white bones emerged.


    Gripping the sword hilt, the Ghost Sword Skeleton slowly drew out a segmented bone sword. Thick black mist swirled around the bone sword, and faintly, the sound of wailing cries could be heard.


    "Swish!"


    In the instant the bone sword was drawn, the Ghost Sword Skeleton swung it with a backhand motion. Several substantial long swords materialized in the air, each blade enveloped with tendrils of black mist. With a slight tremor, they sliced through the air, leaving black sword marks that enveloped Red.


    A mid tier Spirit Technique: Splitting Sword!


    A cold glint flashed in Red''s eyes as he darted forward. Just before the bone sword shadows could pierce him, his body split in two. When he merged back together, he appeared in front of the Ice Silkworm. A pale yellow flame burst from his sharp claws, which he swung down fiercely.


    "Ice Silk Array!"


    Sensing the scorching heat from Red''s claws, Mon Den urgently shouted. Web like ice silk strands spewed from the shaking Ice Silkworm''s mouth, aiming to entangle Red.


    With a sneer, Red twisted his body. Under the force of gravity, his claws instantly shredded through the webs, cutting through them as easily as a knife through butter.


    "Do you think I don''t exist?!"


    Charles taylor''s furious voice rang out as the Ghost Sword Skeleton flickered and appeared in front of the Ice Silkworm. The bone sword in its hand swung up, casting a dark gleam, and clashed fiercely with Red''s claws.


    "Clang!" Read exclusive content at M-V-L


    Blinding sparks flew off the bone sword. Red pushed off the sword hilt with his feet, retreating just as several pale blue ice spikes grazed past him, barely missing but taking a few tufts of fur.


    "What a pity," Blaze Regret sighed softly as he watched Red retreat. Without the obstruction of the Ice Silk Array, even if the Ghost Sword Skeleton arrived, Red could have slain the Ice Silkworm first. After all, the fire element spirit beast deals double damage to ice element spirit beasts.


    Red''s claws swung continuously, but the Ice Silkworm''s ice spikes and the Ghost Sword Skeleton''s Splitting Swords forced him to retreat step by step. His claws dug into the ground, leaving clear marks as he was pushed back.


    "Roar!"


    Being pressed by two spirit beasts, Red was truly enraged. Three pale yellow flames swirled around his body, instantly shredding the incoming attacks with his sharp claws.


    "Flame Breath?" Mon Den and Charles taylor were momentarily stunned, then both sneered contemptuously. If this was Blaze Regret''s trump card, then today, the main chamber of this Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb would surely claim two lives.


    "Don''t you have another ice type spirit beast? Why not summon it? Are you afraid?" Mon Den taunted with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret merely squinted his eyes. The Ice Control Irenix could at most withstand the attack of a mid tier, second rank Imperial Grade spirit beast. But in the field, there was a second rank inperial grade Ice Silkworm and a third rank Imperial Grade Ghost Sword Skeleton.


    If the latter seized an opportunity to unleash a powerful spirit technique, it would at least result in serious injuries.

 Chapter 206: Chapter 206 One Versus Two 3

    After all, the precedent set by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was still fresh in his mind.Although the Ghost Sword Skeleton couldn''t compare to the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, the latter hadn''t used any spirit techniques at the time. In contrast, the Ghost Sword Skeleton under Charles taylor''s control would definitely launch its strongest attack.


    "Jumping around like a monkey," Charles taylor said irritably, waving his hand. "Ghost Sword Skeleton, use the Nether Slash and cut it down with one strike!"


    Nodding slightly, the Ghost Sword Skeleton raised its bone sword. Dense black mist rapidly gathered at the sword''s edge, causing the blade to hum and tremble. Find more to read on M-V-L


    "Nether Slash!"


    The bone sword of the Ghost Sword Skeleton swung forcefully, and a dense black mist transformed into a massive sword energy about several meters long, shooting out violently. Amidst it, countless wailing cries could be faintly heard, echoing clearly in the main burial chamber. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The black sword energy rapidly enlarged in the pupils. Red''s eyes slightly closed, then suddenly opened wide. Two pale yellow energy beams collided with the black sword energy. With a loud bang, an invisible shockwave burst forth, and cracks spread from the explosion point.


    "Ice Crystal Wings!"


    At the moment the beams and sword energy met, the Ice Silkworm''s body trembled. Brilliant ice crystals formed on both sides of its body, creating a pair of large, magnificent ice wings. With a gentle flap, the Ice Silkworm lifted off the ground. Sharp ice spikes formed in front of it, then whistled downward with a fierce wind.


    Red slashed through several ice spikes with a swipe of its claw. It opened its mouth repeatedly, releasing rounds of pale yellow radiant suns, shattering the sword energy cleaved by the Ghost Sword Skeleton. A hint of anger rose in its eyes.


    If it were a one on one fight, Red would never be so passively suppressed by the two spirit beasts. However, whenever it tried to attack one first, the other would intervene, consuming a large amount of its spiritual power in vain.


    With a stomp on the ground, Red leaped into the air, its pupils burning with pale yellow flames, staring straight into the eyes of the Ice Silkworm. Suddenly, the latter''s gaze became dazed, and the freshly formed sharp ice spikes fell to the ground with a clatter.


    "Not good!" Mon Den''s face changed slightly as if he suddenly recalled something.


    However, before Mon Den could react, the Ice Silkworm abruptly turned its head, looking down at the Ghost Sword Skeleton from above. Sharp ice spikes, like pale blue streams of light, violently pierced into its body, sending several pieces of white bone shrapnel flying.


    "What are you doing!" Charles taylor turned his head, glaring angrily at Mon Den.


    "It''s not me; it''s that Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat''s spirit skill controlling my Ice Silkworm!" Mon Den''s face turned pale. He didn''t have time to argue with Charles taylor''s anger; he only knew that his Ice Silkworm was in trouble!


    Sure enough, Red''s pupils shot out two more energy beams. Under the fierce impact of the beams, the Ice Silkworm suspended in mid air only lasted a moment before shattering. Dark green liquid rained down like a shower, and with a crisp ding, only a pair of intact pale blue ice wings fell to the ground.


    Staring at the ice wings amidst the green blood, Charles taylor''s mouth gaped open in shock. In just a fleeting moment, the once lively Ice Silkworm was dead?


    "Poof!"


    Beside Charles taylor, Mon Den looked in anguish at the green blood spreading on the ground. A mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth. The backlash from the damage to his first spirit portal was nothing compared to the pain in his heart at this moment.


    In Hildan Town, whenever someone mentioned the second leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, the first thing that came to mind was his Ice Silkworm. Without a Imperial level spirit beast, a spirit master was nothing but an empty shell.


    "What is your second spirit beast?" Charles taylor asked gravely, watching Red and the Ghost Sword Skeleton clashing.


    "A mid tier fifth level warrior grade." Mon Den''s voice was full of bitterness. Who among ordinary spirit masters would waste time cultivating a second spirit beast? The Ice Silkworm that had just died was his strongest combat power.


    "Damn it!" Charles taylor gritted his teeth. Even with the Ice Silkworm''s assistance, the Ghost Sword Skeleton could only fight Red to a standstill. The Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat, with its Flame Breath spirit skill, couldn''t be measured by surface strength.


    "Flowing Flame Fan!" Blaze Regret saw Charles taylor''s grim expression and smiled faintly.


    Red''s fluffy three tail rose, and with a low cry, a fan shaped pale yellow flame swept out as its threr tail swung down. The Ghost Sword Skeleton, defending with its sword, stumbled back a few steps.


    Shaking off the pale yellow flames clinging to its bone sword, the Ghost Sword Skeleton''s chest heaved, breath heavy. Its once pristine white body was now charred and blackened from the flames.


    "You actually kill spirit beasts right off the bat, truly vicious. Today, I won''t let you leave." Charles taylor looked at Blaze Regret, his voice icy.


    "Hey, this isn''t a sparring match. And if I remember correctly, you were the ones who wanted to kill me first." Blaze Regret sneered. Charles taylor was just looking for an excuse to kill him to avoid trouble from Nor Amelia after defeating Mon Dark. Did they really think he would just let them slaughter him?


    "Not only are you ruthless, but also unreasonable."


    Charles taylor''s enraged voice rang out: "Ghost Sword Skeleton, use Soul Devourer Break and kill him and that Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat together!"


    Upon hearing this, the Ghost Sword Skeleton formed seals with both hands. The bone sword, entwined with black energy, slowly rose. The amount of black energy surged as the bone sword ascended.

 Chapter 207: Chapter 207 One Versus Two Final

    The Ghost Sword Skeleton''s hand seals changed, and the bone sword retreated half a step before suddenly shooting out violently. The black energy entwining it formed a dark serpent, carrying the bone sword as it shot like lightning towards Red, leaving a long black streak in the air.Red''s soft ears twitched, and with a swipe of its sharp claws, three fire spikes rings filled with sharp thorns spun in front of it. These quickly converged, forming a pale yellow wheel of light enhanced by the Flame Domain, which collided heavily with the incoming bone sword.


    "Boom!"


    The fire spikes rings whistled out, striking the tip of the bone sword. Invisible ripples spread from the point of impact, carving a deep crack into the ground below. Within the crack, pale yellow light and black sinister energy faintly intertwined.


    Ripples spread out, making Mon Den''s eye twitch. The black energy on the bone sword was being devoured by the pale yellow flame at an extremely slow pace, and it wouldn''t be long before it was completely erased.


    "Moon Slash!"


    Mon Den shouted coldly, swinging his palm fiercely towards Blaze Regret. Dark spirit energy turned into a crescent shaped blade, swiftly slashing at Blaze Regret. Once a spirit master died, the spirit beast''s power would quickly wane, and Red''s assault would naturally collapse.


    Blaze Regret''s palm opened, and an icy flying blade appeared, clashing with the dark blade. Both attacks ultimately annihilated each other.


    "Sorry, I have offensive spirit skills too," Blaze Regret smirked, causing Mon Den''s face to darken instantly.


    As the Threr Tail Sun Blazing Cat''s flames corroded it, cracks suddenly appeared on the sharp tip of the bone sword and quickly spread, covering the entire blade in the blink of an eye.


    "Crack!"


    After a brief pause, the bone sword shattered inch by inch. The rotating fire spikes Rings, like a pale yellow streak of light, pierced through the bone sword and finally slashed heavily onto the Ghost Sword Skeleton.


    A grating sound of friction echoed, and half of the Ghost Sword Skeleton''s body shattered. As the fire spikes rings flew out, the flames in its hollow eye sockets dimmed significantly.


    "Clang!"


    The fire spike ring sliced into the wall, producing a crisp sound that made Nor Amelia and Mon Dark simultaneously halt their actions. The atmosphere in the tomb chamber instantly quieted down.


    Staring at the ground covered in green blood, Mon Dark couldn''t help but twitch his eyelids. Due to Nor Amelia''s aggressive containment, he hadn''t had the energy to pay attention to the nearby battlefield. Who knew that when he turned around, he would see such a tragic scene.


    "This kid, didn''t he just advance to Spirit Imperial Master?" Mon Dark''s heart was like a raging wave. He had thought that Mon Den and Charles taylor teaming up would be able to instantly crush Blaze Regret, but who would have guessed that both of them would actually be defeated!


    Nor Amelia''s beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and a slight smile appeared on her pretty face. This guy really didn''t disappoint her.


    "Blaze Regret, we have no enmity. From today on, I will no longer be your enemy." Charles taylor, who was barely alive, put his Ghost Sword Skeleton into the spirit portal, fearfully cupped his hands towards Blaze Regret, and retreated continuously, moving towards a dark passage.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret only gazed at him indifferently, without saying a word. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Licking his lips, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Charles taylor''s lowered eyes. He swung his hand fiercely, and a fiery red fruit shot violently towards Blaze Regret.


    "Die!" Charles taylor laughed maliciously. This Explosive Fruit was something he had obtained from a secret chamber. He had originally planned to use it against Mon Dark, but now, killing Blaze Regret was his only goal.


    With a faint smile, just as the Explosive Fruit was shot out, Blaze Regret raised his hand, and a faint yellow spiritual energy, like spreading ripples, caused the Explosive Fruit to freeze in mid air.


    "How can this be!" Charles taylor''s smile suddenly froze, replaced by intense horror. He had clearly hidden it well, so why had Blaze Regret still detected it?


    "I''ve played with this thing more than you." Blaze Regret''s lips curled up, and with a gentle grip of his hand, the fiery red light immediately emanated from the Explosive Fruit, filling the air with scorching heat.


    "No!" Seeing the Explosive Fruit so close, Charles taylor''s face was filled with horror. Not far away, Mon Den was also scared out of his wits by the flashing Explosive Fruit, fleeing in a panic.


    "Boom!"


    Crimson energy suddenly erupted, quickly engulfing Charles taylor and Mon Den. Waves of energy swept around, painting Blaze Regret''s face a bright red.


    "Crack, crack!"


    The sound of cracking joints echoed as the rock serpent coiled tightly, protecting a horrified Mon Dark within its layers. The aftermath of the explosion swept through, forcing the rock serpent back half a meter.


    The pale yellow wall of Sun Flame Wall rippled under the violent energy impact. Within it, Blaze Regret gazed calmly ahead, his eyes incredibly serene.


    After a while, the crimson energy gradually dissipated, revealing a charred crater in everyone''s sight. Cracks spread outward from the crater''s edges, and above it, there was nothing left.


    Mon Den and Charles taylor had been obliterated by the explosion of the Explosive Fruit, leaving not even a trace of their existence behind.


    Dispelling the Sun Flame wall, Blaze Regret scoffed coldly. He had long known the power of the Explosive Fruit. Even Snow Azrul, the second elder of the Snow family, couldn''t withstand it, let alone the low tier spirit Imperial masters Mon Den and Charles taylor.


    Seeing the two living beings disappear in the blink of an eye, Mon Dark shuddered. If that Explosive Fruit had detonated in front of him, even with the rock serpent''s protection, he would likely have perished.


    Turning his gaze to the indifferent Blaze Regret, a hint of killing intent gradually surged in Mon Dark''s eyes.

 Chapter 208: Chapter 208 This is A Mystical Beast?

    "Blaze Regret, I will kill you and avenge my brother!"With a roar, the rock serpent''s segments moved rapidly, creating a highly oppressive force, shooting towards Blaze Regret like a released arrow.


    "ROAR!"


    With a low growl, Red flicked its claws lightly, flashing in front of Blaze Regret. The pale yellow flames quickly surrounded its sharp claws.


    However, just as it was halfway there, the rock serpent suddenly swung its tail, pulling down a light cluster from the fire tree. It then swiftly turned, carrying Mon Dark on its back, and darted into a dark passage.


    "Blaze Regret, next time we meet, let''s see if you still have anyone to help you!"


    Mon Dark''s faint voice reached his ears, and Blaze Regret helplessly lowered his hand. If the former had dared to fight head on, even without Nor Amelia''s intervention, he was somewhat confident he could keep him in this tomb.


    After all, having fought with Nor Amelia for such a long time, Mon Dark''s spiritual power was nearly depleted. Without recovery pills like the Hui Ling Dan, Blaze Regret undoubtedly held the upper hand.


    Dense leaves, resembling flames, grew on the tree trunk. Blaze Regret walked to the base of the fire tree, sensing briefly before leaving two light clusters. The remaining two fell into Nor Amelia''s hands.


    "It truly is this item," Nor Amelia remarked with a gentle smile, holding one of the light clusters. As the light dissipated, a turquoise water bead appeared in her delicate palm.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.


    "This is a Nilai Spiritual Pearl, which can barely be considered a spiritual treasure," Nor Amelia explained with a smile. With a wave of Water Fairy''s hand, the Nilai Spiritual Pearl floated above her palm. Clear water waves circled around it, producing a pleasant sound.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a flick of Water Fairy''s hand, the water waves surrounding the Nilai Spiritual Pearl transformed into a barrage of turquoise water arrows, shooting into the wall and creating deep craters.


    Seeing the destruction caused by Water Fairy, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. After eating the Nilai Spiritual Pearl, Water Fairy''s strength could rival that of a sixth tier high level Imperial Grade. Each water arrow had the power to pierce through Mon Dark''s rock serpent.


    Glancing at the remaining light cluster, Nor Amelia seemed a bit disappointed. A water attribute spirit crystal was far inferior to the Nilai Spiritual Pearl. Without a second thought, she tossed it directly into the Void Realm Stone.


    "Are you leaving?" Blaze Regret asked, his gaze complex as he looked at Nor Amelia''s delicate face. An unfamiliar emotion swirled within his heart.


    A gentle breeze blew by, lifting Nor Amelia''s waterfall like green hair that reached her waist. Her elegant, albeit slightly immature face, hinted at the exceptional beauty she would become in the future.


    "You are too weak," Nor Amelia stated, her clear voice suddenly breaking the silence.


    Blaze Regret''s lips moved slightly, about to say something when a surge of deep blue spiritual power erupted from Nor Amelia, enveloping the entire tomb chamber as if submerged in turbulent seawater. An unimaginably vast shadow loomed coldly over Blaze Regret from the water, disappearing in an instant.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a wave of Nor Amelia''s delicate hand, the seawater instantly receded. Blaze Regret, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders, gasped for breath, his forehead covered in sweat, and his face showing unmistakable shock.


    "This... this is a Mystical Beast?"


    "Blaze Regret, I hope that soon, you will have the qualifications to stand proudly among the young generation at the center of the empire. At that time, perhaps we will have the chance to meet again."


    The clear voice, like an orchid in a secluded valley, echoed in Blaze Regret''s ears. He looked at the empty tomb chamber and lowered his head, letting out a deep breath.


    The center of the empire, huh? I will go there.


    With a gentle clench of his hand, the two light clusters in Blaze Regret''s hand released a few light dots, which drifted away. The radiance emitted also gradually faded with the dispersing light dots.


    As the radiance disappeared, a fiery red spiritual herb and a small lump of mud like substance appeared in Blaze Regret''s sight.


    The fiery red spiritual herb had three flat leaves extending from its stem, and at the top of the stem was a light red fluffy ball that exuded a faint, scorching aura.


    "Flame Cotton Grass?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he gazed at the spiritual herb.


    Flame Cotton Grass is an extremely rare third grade spiritual herb that mostly grows in deserts. Due to absorbing a large amount of fire elements from the air, its internal fire attribute energy becomes very rich. If a fire type spiritual beast refines it, there is a significant chance it can break through its barriers and advance a grade.


    Looking up at the Flame Cotton Grass in Blaze Regret''s hand, the Red''s eyes were filled with intense anticipation. In the moment Blaze Regret''s hand dropped, its small tongue curled, swallowing the Flame Cotton Grass into its belly.


    If it had already broken through to the high level Imperial rank earlier, Charles taylor''s Ghost Sword Skeleton would not have been able to stir up any trouble in front of the Red. A single Flame Crystal would have easily been able to kill it.


    "This thing, it seems to be Tortoise Saliva?" Blaze Regret looked at the remaining lump of mud like substance in his hand, frowning slightly. According to the records of the Medicine Emperor Seed, this item was only a material for refining a second grade pill, so why was it placed so carefully by the Flame Spirit King in the tomb chamber?

    "Hehe, the Medicine Emperor was devoted to alchemy all his life, and he wouldn''t pay attention to things unrelated to pills. Tortoise Saliva, in addition to being a material for refining pills, can also be applied to some objects to increase their hardness and reduce the impact force from collisions," Master Magi''s laughter suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s ears.

    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret gently nodded. An idea sparked in his mind, and the Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor, emitting a pale cyan glow, flashed onto the ground."Not bad. It seems that there are some things you can handle on your own now, even without me," Master Magi chuckled lightly. With a wave of his hand, a thick ancient book descended in front of Blaze Regret.


    "Master Magi, you..." Blaze Regret lifted his eyes slightly, looking at Master Magi, who was floating in mid air. A foreboding feeling surged in his heart.


    With a slight movement, Master Magi rotated his palm, and the standing fire tree instantly shattered. A page of a book, emitting a golden sheen, slowly rose from within.


    "The edges of this tomb chamber are inscribed with many runes. Without you, I might not have been able to enter," Master Magi said as he opened his palm. The golden page, about a foot wide, gradually fell into his hand.


    "Don''t worry, I am just going to sleep for a while. The road ahead will be yours to walk alone. I hope that when I awaken, I will see a much stronger Blaze Regret." Master Magi smiled, then transformed into a golden light and merged into the Void Realms Stone.


    "Master Magi, Master Magi?" Blaze Regret murmured softly, a bitter smile appearing on his face. In fact, from the beginning, he had noticed the peculiarity of the fire tree, which remained intact despite the energy impact of the Explosive Fire Fruit. The only explanation was that it was protected by some foreign object.


    However, Master Magi''s disappearance was something he found hard to get used to.


    Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Blaze Regret gently patted the Red''s small head and then directed his spiritual sense toward the Ice Control Irenix in the second spirit portal. From now on, it would just be the two of them.


    "Buzz!"


    Suppressing his thoughts, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground, forming seals with his hands. The Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor lying on the ground immediately stood up, trembling slightly. A pale cyan light flowed across its surface.


    "Go!" Blaze Regret commanded softly. The solid looking Igniting Tortoise Saliva suddenly began to flow like a liquid, continuously extending until it enveloped the entire Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor like a fiery red curtain.


    Under the erosion of the Igniting Tortoise Saliva, the pale cyan luster on the surface of the Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor gradually faded, replaced by a deep fiery color. A scorching aura permeated the surface of the tortoise shell.


    Half an incense stick later.


    "It''s a success!"


    Wiping the sweat from his forehead, a trace of joy flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The current Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor''s defensive capability far surpassed its previous state. It could now withstand attacks from Imperial level spirit beasts without breaking, and even more enticing to Blaze Regret was its shock absorbing effect.


    Ordinary attacks from Imperial level spirit beasts would no longer leave him coughing up blood as they used to.


    "Whoo!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s spiritual power dissipated from his palm, the Red not far away let out a cheerful Cat cry. A wave of scorching fire slowly swept outwards.


    The flame in its eyes gradually faded, and the Red lowered its head. Under the influence of the Cat illusion, its body began to shrink, transforming in an instant into a petite Flame Cat. Its soft fur was even more beautiful than that of an ordinary flame Cat.


    "Next, it''s time to elevate the Ice Control Irenix to the Imperial level." Blaze Regret gently stroked the Red''s fur and smiled. If not for the mutation, the Red would at most be on par with the Ice Control Irenix, but now it was undoubtedly much stronger.


    Standing up, Blaze Regret placed the Red on his shoulder and walked out of the tomb chamber. The greatest treasures of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb had been looted, and there was no need to waste time on minor matters outside.


    As Blaze Regret walked by, the spirit hunters who were scavenging around stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with fear. An overwhelming shock rose in their hearts.


    This guy actually advanced to a Spirit Imperial Master?


    Isn''t he even younger than Roberth Brown?


    Ignoring the astonished gazes of the crowd, Blaze Regret walked out of the tomb. The blinding midday sun made him squint for a moment before he gradually got used to it. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "To the south of the Hildan Mountain Range, there are many low level Imperial grade spirit beasts. Combat is undoubtedly the most effective way to help the Ice Control Irenix break through quickly."


    With this thought, Blaze Regret nodded. Pale yellow flames flared up under his feet, and with a muffled stomping sound, his figure instantly darted forward.


    As verdant trees flashed by, Blaze Regret suddenly sensed something and quickly retreated with a tap of his toe.


    "Whoosh!"


    Spears wreathed in electric arcs shot down violently, nearly grazing Blaze Regret''s body and embedding into the ground. A playful laugh echoed from the sky.


    "Blaze Regret, you really kept me waiting."


    In mid air, an angry thunder eagle about ten meters in size lightly flapped its lightning wreathed wings. On its back, Kartis Miller stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Blaze Regret with a teasing expression, giving off an air of superiority.


    "Unexpectedly, you''re still so despicable." Blaze Regret expressionlessly touched his chest, where a thin layer of blood was covering it. Although the bleeding had stopped, occasional pain still came from there.


    In the main burial chamber, Kartis Miller had attacked once before, and just now, those sharp thunder spears were clearly aimed to kill him. Kartis Miller''s repeated provocations had completely exceeded his tolerance.


    "Hehe, don''t say it so harshly. Although in my eyes, you''re just a small ant, I don''t mind trying a more convenient solution if available," Kartis Miller said with a smile.

 Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Fighting Kartis Miller 2

    "Roar!" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.A low growl of anger sounded, and Red leapt lightly from Blaze Regret''s shoulder, its body suddenly expanding. Pale yellow flames encircled its body like a fire ring.


    "High level Imperial Grade."


    Kartis Miller''s eyes narrowed slightly, then he chuckled softly. "A bigger ant is still an ant. Hand over the Void realms Stone, then blind yourself, and today''s matter will end here."


    "Do I have a grudge against you?" Blaze Regret''s cold voice carried a hint of concealed anger. From the beginning, he had not provoked Kartis Miller. Yet the latter first attacked him sneakily, and now wanted him to blind himself. Who did he think he was, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?


    "Hehe, you should feel fortunate. It''s just me here today. If Big Brother Bai Qi knew you were so close to Nor Amelia, things wouldn''t be this simple," Kartis Miller said lightly, as if asking Blaze Regret to blind himself was a kind of mercy.


    "Do you think too highly of yourself!" Blaze Regret''s face suddenly turned cold, and an ice blade appeared in his open hand, then shot towards the angry thunder eagle in the sky, carrying tiny ice shards.


    "Stubborn fool."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s angry voice, a cold glint flashed in Kartis Miller''s eyes as well. He stepped off the angry thunder eagle and swiftly landed on a towering stone peak.


    "Shriek!"


    With a sharp cry, the angry thunder eagle''s figure flickered. Its claws, as hard as metal, shattered the ice blade into pieces. Then, with a sudden flap of its wings, dazzling lightning surged out from its body, forming fist sized thunderballs beneath its wings. The brilliant lightning bolts crackled around the thunderballs.


    As the angry thunder eagle''s wings flapped, the thunderballs shot out, streaking across the sky like dazzling bolts of lightning, enveloping Red in a deluge of thunder.


    With a flick of its tail, Red deflected one of the thunderballs with its tail blade, causing it to explode on a nearby peak, leaving a charred crater and scattering blinding lightning.


    Dodging continuously, Red evaded the exploding thunderballs behind it. With a swipe of its sharp claws, three sharp fire spikes rings shot out, tracing elegant pale yellow arcs in the air, forcing the angry thunder eagle to dodge hastily.


    "Fire spikes rings of the Two Tail Flame Demon Cat, huh."


    Kartis Miller sneered disdainfully. "It''s just a low level spirit technique, no need to embarrass yourself. Angry Thunder eagle, use Fourfold Lightning to shatter those fire spikes rings."


    Hovering in mid air, the Angry thunder eagle''s eyes locked onto Red with a fierce gaze. As its wings flapped, dazzling lightning coalesced into four massive lightning bolts, as thick as pythons, which tore through the air and struck the spinning fire rings.


    "Clang!"


    Sparks flew as the fire spikes rings, under the intense impact of the lightning bolts, embedded themselves into the mountain, their pale yellow glow shimmering along their sharp edges.


    "So tough." Seeing that the fire spikes rings hadn''t shattered, Kartis Miller frowned slightly.


    "Low level spirit technique? Then let me show you what a low level spirit technique tastes like." Blaze Regret smiled, his grin laced with an unmistakable chill.


    Balancing on one claw, Red opened its other claw, and the three fire spikes rings embedded in the mountain peak trembled slightly before shooting out and revolving around its claw, slowly rotating.


    "Hmm?" Kartis Miller''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    With indifferent pale yellow pupils fixed on the Angry thunder eagle in mid air, Red''s sharp claws gave a light shake, causing the three revolving fire spikes rings to merge tightly with a click. A rich yellow arc of light rapidly rotated along with the fire spikes rings.


    Red bit gently, and with a swift motion of its claws, the fire spikes rings shot out with a hum, trailing a pale yellow tail as they slashed towards the Angry thunder eagle. The air in front of them emitted a miserable wail under the terrifying speed.


    "How is this possible!"


    Seeing this scene, Kartis Miller''s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal. He coldly said, "I don''t know what method you used to change the fire spikes rings like this, but your struggle is ultimately futile."


    Facing the incoming fire spikes rings, the Angry thunder eagle''s wings folded slightly. Between its wings, violent lightning surged and quickly formed into a massive lightning spear. As it struck down, it seemed to tear a horrifying rift in the space it passed through.


    "Spirit technique, Sky Splitting Thunder!"


    In just a few breaths, the lightning spear and the fire spikes rings collided fiercely. With a massive thunderous roar, surging energy spread out from mid air, causing the rock surfaces of the surrounding peaks to shatter instantly under the impact.


    With a light step, the Sun Flame Wall spread out. Blaze Regret looked up, his pupils shrinking slightly. Amid the dissipating energy ripples, a massive rotating thunderball floated in front of the Angry thunder eagle, emanating a destructive aura.


    "High level Imperial grade spirit technique." Blaze Regret murmured. From that thunderball, he felt the aura of a high level Imperial grade spirit technique!


    "Blaze Regret, you''re quite something!"


    Standing on the peak, Kartis Miller''s face was rather grim. To deal with a newly advanced Imperial grade Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat, he had to reveal his final trump card, which was an undeniable humiliation.


    And the way to erase this humiliation was to obliterate Blaze Regret and that damn cat together!


    "Shriek!"


    The Angry thunder eagle''s wide wings spread out, and the energy within it crazily poured into the thunderball. In an instant, the thunderball rapidly expanded, shining like a brilliant cannonball, its blinding light outshining the scorching sun in the sky.


    "High level Imperial grade spirit technique, Thunder Cannon!"


    "Advanced Imperial Level Spirit Technique, Thunder Cannon!"


    As Kartis Miller''s shout fell, the massive thunderball in front of the Angry Thunder Eagle shot down violently like a cannonball, accompanied by the hair raising sound of thunder, bombarding towards Red.

 Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Fighting Kartis Miller 3

    Red slightly raised his face, feeling the terrifying destructive power contained in the thunderball. His glass like eyes narrowed gently, and three faint yellow flame streaks spun around his body, with a dazzling spiritual light blooming from the center of his forehead."Boom!"


    The thunderball descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground and enveloping Red''s figure. For a moment, the space seemed to freeze, followed by a thunderous explosion. Blinding lightning shot out in all directions, flickering continuously in the area.


    "Going against me ends like this," Kartis Miller, standing on the mountain peak, revealed a sinister smile.


    "Whoo!"


    However, in the next moment, a clear Cat cry came from the flickering lightning. Kartis Miller''s smile froze instantly as he saw a faint yellow figure, trailing smoke, shoot out from the midst of it.


    With a sun like mark shining on his forehead, Red sped up the mountain peak with astonishing speed, as if the explosion just now had no effect on him at all.


    "What kind of monster is this!" Kartis Miller''s face contorted slightly. Even a first tier Advanced Imperial grade spirit beast would perish under the Thunder Cannon, let alone a second tier. But Red had withstood it, giving a severe blow to Kartis Miller''s previously unshakable confidence.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s lips curved into a faint smile. Strengthened by Flame Breath, Red was no weaker than a second tier Advanced Imperial grade spirit beast. Coupled with his Flame Domain, it wasn''t difficult for him to withstand what seemed like a terrifying attack.


    However, some damage was inevitable.


    "Whoo!" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a step on the mountain peak, Red darted out like an arrow, clawing at the back of the Angry Thunder Eagle, who had no time to dodge. His figure flashed rapidly, like a faint yellow shadow, weaving around the Angry Thunder Eagle. For a moment, it seemed as if multiple Three Tail Sun Blazing Cats were flickering around the Angry Thunder Eagle.


    Red''s figure spun in mid air before landing on the ground. His paws, covered in some white fur, trembled slightly and finally gave out, causing him to collapse, exhaustion evident in his pale yellow eyes.


    "Haha, so it was just a bluff," Kartis Miller couldn''t help but laugh wildly, seeing the unscathed Angry Thunder Eagle. With Blaze Regret''s strongest spirit beast out of commission, it was now up to him to decide how to finish off the latter.


    In response, Blaze Regret only gave a cold smile.


    Lying on the ground, Red struggled to lift a small paw and clenched it towards the Angry Thunder Eagle in mid air.


    "Swish!"


    With a flash of light, a pale yellow flame crystal pillar suddenly materialized above the Angry Thunder Eagle and, with a sharp whistling sound, pierced through its body. Immediately afterward, several more sharp flame crystal pillars manifested, swiftly and crosswise, embedding themselves into the Angry Thunder Eagle.


    "Screech!"


    Pierced by dozens of flame crystal pillars, the Angry Thunder Eagle let out a heartrending screech that echoed through the sky. It flapped its wings one last time before crashing to the ground like a bird with broken wings.


    "Is this really just a first tier imperial Grade spirit beast..."


    Standing on the mountain peak, Kartis Miller felt his legs tremble. Without thinking, he summoned his second spirit beast, desperate to flee.


    Kartis Miller''s second spirit beast was a Swift Thunder Butterfly, an eighth tier Advanced Warrior Grade spirit beast formed from lightning, known for its incredible speed and serving as his ultimate escape card.


    "If you''re courting death, you should pay a price; running away without consequences is too easy!"


    Just as Kartis Miller opened the second spirit portal, revealing half of the Swift Thunder Butterfly''s body, Blaze Regret''s figure suddenly appeared beside him. With an icy grip, Blaze Regret lightly pressed down on Kartis Miller''s shoulder.


    Feeling the immense force on his shoulder, Kartis Miller''s body felt as if it had plunged into an ancient ice cellar. Though the mountain peak wasn''t high, only a few dozen feet, it was incredibly steep. How on earth did this guy get up here?!


    "Bang!"


    Blaze Regret''s tightly clenched fist slammed into Kartis Miller''s chest. The rapidly drawn spirit portal trembled and then scattered into countless points of light, causing the Swift Thunder Butterfly to naturally retract.


    "You can''t kill me! Do you know who I am? I''m from the Kartis family in the Imperial Center!" Kartis Miller turned his head, roaring ferociously at Blaze Regret.


    "Such a familiar threat..." Blaze Regret sighed internally. Back in Veloria City, someone had taunted him similarly, but unfortunately, that person had been left crippled by him.


    "Bastard, let go of me!" Seeing Blaze Regret''s silence, Kartis Miller assumed the Kartis family''s reputation had worked. A smug smile spread across his face. Even some Spirit Lord level experts had to show him respect upon learning his identity, let alone Blaze Regret, a mere Spirit Imperial.


    "If you hadn''t mentioned you were from the Karis family, I might have spared your life," Blaze Regret sighed again. His eyes turned cold, and pale yellow light surged on his clenched fist, which then descended fiercely under Kartis Miller''s horrified gaze.


    "Are you insane?!" Kartis Miller shouted madly, his eyes filled with disbelief. Why, why did this kid still dare to kill him?


    "Buzz!"


    As Blaze Regret''s fist fell, a ripple of lightning expanded in front of Kartis Miller. At the center of the ripple was a fingernail sized scale, inscribed with incredibly intricate runes.


    Immediately afterward, an elderly face appeared beside Kartis Miller, staring icily at Blaze Regret.


    Who are you to dare kill a member of my Kartis family?" The old man''s chilling voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, making the temperature atop the mountain drop significantly.


    "It''s not that I want to kill members of your Kartis family; it''s that your Kartis family wants to kill me," Blaze Regret said calmly. Although he was startled by the sudden appearance of the elder, he knew it was merely a projection, incapable of displaying even a fraction of its true power.

 Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Fighting Kartis Miller Final

    "Grandfather, save me!" Kartis Miller shouted joyfully, overjoyed at the sight of his savior."Hmph, my grandson has always been gentle and avoids making enemies. Yet you dared to ignore the Kartis family''s dignity and try to kill him. You may escape the death penalty, but you can''t escape punishment. Come to the Kartis family and beg for forgiveness immediately, or I will exterminate your entire clan!" The elder''s voice was filled with an undeniable command.


    "Did you hear that? Hurry up and come with me to the Kartis family to beg for forgiveness," Kartis Miller shouted at Blaze Regret, smugly.


    "Such noise."


    Frowning in displeasure, Blaze Regret loosened his grip, causing Kartis Miller''s body to plummet. He was immediately swallowed whole by a delighted Red Abyss Snake below.


    "Miller''er!"


    Seeing this, the elder''s eyes turned blood red, and a chilling killing intent surged from his pupils. "Boy, I will remember you. If I don''t kill you, I, Kartis Munki, swear I am not a member of the Kartis family!"


    Flicking his finger, Blaze Regret shattered the scale into fragments. He sneered disdainfully. Others might fear the Kartis family, but his future goal was to turn the Kartis family upside down.


    Kartis Munki, wait for me.


    Blaze Regret''s low murmuring voice quietly echoed atop the towering peak. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the early morning, warm sunlight fell, mingling with the faint winter fog. Most of the trees in the Hildan Forest had shed their leaves entirely, while the evergreens were covered with a thin layer of frost. Crystal clear ice flowers hung from the branches, sparkling with radiant brilliance.


    A large icy wing flapped gently, and a robust branch brushed against the Ice Control Irenix, crashing heavily to the ground. The hard surface dented slightly under the immense force.


    Behind the Ice Control Irenix, a massive tree advanced, its dense roots moving swiftly in pursuit. The tree''s leaves rustled loudly due to its vigorous movement.


    The Giant Tree Leader, typically a high level warrior grade spirit beast, was now chasing the Ice Control Irenix, which had just broken through to the intermediate Warrior grade.


    Sitting on a rock, Blaze Regret lazily overlooked the battle between the Ice Control Irenix and the Giant Tree Leader. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the fluffy head of the Red. The latter was busy stuffing a red fruit into its mouth, making its cheeks bulge.


    "Without opportunities, breaking through is indeed troublesome," Blaze Regret said, lying on the rock and covering his eyes with a leaf. Lately, he had been seeking suitable spirit beasts for the Ice Control Irenix to challenge, aiming to enrich its combat experience and ensure a smooth advancement to the Imperial grade.


    However, the progress was noticeably slower than he had anticipated.


    Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the Hildan Mountain Range.


    A team of shadowy figures walked slowly across an open rocky ground. Each person''s chest bore a dragon symbol, marking them as members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.


    One member glanced warily at the figure ahead, Mon Dark, and quickly looked away, lowering his head. Ever since their leader returned from the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, he had changed drastically, becoming exceptionally violent. Disagreements often led to brutal fights, and more than a dozen group members had already died at his hands.


    "Leader, the habitat of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clan is just ahead," one member cautiously reported to Mon Dark.


    Nodding slightly, Mon Dark strode forward. The ground beside him instantly cracked open, and a Rock Horned Python, composed entirely of stones, emerged segment by segment. Its nearly twenty meter long body was extremely terrifying.


    Seeing Mon Dark enter the habitat of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, the members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group exchanged glances and nodded. They then released their own spirit beasts, which began digging into the ground. Shortly, a deep pit appeared.


    One of the members tossed a cloth bag into the pit. Inside the bag were deep red flowers, emitting a faint fragrance. Though the scent was enticing, the expression on each member''s face was one of disgust. After burying the flowers around the edges of the pit, they quickly retreated as if avoiding some terrible beast.


    "Hiss!"


    A grayish white rock snake flicked its tongue. With a wave of Mon Dark''s hand, the Rock Horned Python darted out, its bloody maw snapping shut on an unsuspecting Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, crushing it instantly.


    Seeing this, the previously slumbering Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros turned their furious gaze towards the Rock Horned Python. They clenched their fists and pounded on its body, the deep, resonant collision echoing across the rocky ground.


    With a sneer, Mon Dark scoffed. Despite the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s strength, they were merely warrior grade. The idea of them harming his fourth tier Rock Horned Python was laughable.


    "Boom!"


    The Rock Horned Python swallowed the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros whole and then whipped its tail, smashing another Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros into pieces, sending a rain of blood into the air.


    Excitedly flicking its tongue, the Rock Horned Python coiled its tail around a silver white horn, bringing it to its mouth. A faint glow began to emanate from the rock horn atop its head.


    "As expected."


    Mon Dark''s eyes glimmered with joy. In the main burial chamber of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, he had obtained a treasure called the Radiant Stone Ash, a rare spirit material. When a spirit beast refined it, it could enhance itself by consuming relevant parts of other spirit beasts, thus rapidly breaking through. His first target was the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    The Rock Horned Python''s greatest strength lay in its rock horn. Any spirit beast struck by it at the same level would be grievously injured or killed. If it could be strengthened sufficiently, Mon Dark believed his Rock Horned Python would soon advance to the fifth tier intermediate Imperial grade.


    "Roar!"


    As the third Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros fell, an enraged roar, powerful enough to split stone and metal, echoed from afar, reverberating around Mon Dark''s ears.

 Chapter 213: Chapter 213 Despair

    "Finally here," Mon Dark muttered with a cold smile."Boom!"


    A massive boulder, accompanied by a deep sonic boom, shot forth from the distance. Struck by it, the Rock Horned Python skidded several feet, its enormous body leaving a deep trail in the ground.


    Seeing this, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros herd became excited and quickly turned around, bowing their heads in respect, awaiting the arrival of their leader.


    "Clang!"


    Crushing several rocks underfoot, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros leader landed heavily, its immense weight causing the ground to tremble. Its gaze swept over the blood stained ground, and its expression gradually turned savage.


    "Go!" Mon Dark, mounted on the Rock Horned Python, didn''t hesitate, spitting out the word softly.


    With a fierce lash of its tail, the Rock Horned Python surged forward with a thunderous roar. Behind it, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros leader let out a furious bellow and began its ground shaking pursuit.


    "Rock Scale Rain!"


    Seeing the crimson eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Mon Dark smiled faintly. The Rock Horned Python beneath him raised layer upon layer of scales, which then shot out like a torrential downpour, covering the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Swinging its fists continuously, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shattered the rock scales one by one, glaring fixedly at Mon Dark on the Rock Horned Python. It would not rest until he was torn apart.


    "Quite a persistent creature. But that''s what makes it worthy of forming a spirit pact," Mon Dark chuckled, his gaze towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros filled with fervor.


    "Roar!"


    With an enraged roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists and pounded the ground, sending a wide crack with an invisible shockwave straight towards the Rock Horned Python.


    "It''s about time," Mon Dark whispered softly.


    "Clang!"


    Suddenly, the charging Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s expression changed as the ground beneath it collapsed with a loud bang, plunging it into a deep pit.


    Standing at the edge of the pit, looking down at the furiously roaring Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Mon Dark''s lips curled into a sinister smile.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slightly raised its head, looking at Mon Dark with a cold sneer on his face. In its eyes, there was an unmistakable killing intent. Clenching its fists tightly, it forcefully pounded the soil of the pit, trying to create a tunnel to escape back to the surface.


    "It''s useless," Mon Dark said with a faint smile, shaking his head. He slightly opened his palm, and the soil at the edge of the pit suddenly splashed up, revealing clusters of palm sized, bright red flowers. A faint fragrance enveloped the pit.


    Smelling the fragrance, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros in the pit suddenly narrowed its eyes. Its right fist, carrying immense power, pounded the surrounding mud walls fiercely. With a loud thud, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros'' body involuntarily took a few steps back.

    Letting out a hiss, the Rock Horned Python''s tail, which had dug into the soil, slowly lifted, bringing up some moist winter mud. At the moment the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros fell into the deep pit, it used its spiritual skills to make the surrounding soil harder than rock. Although it couldn''t withstand many blows from the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it could hold up for a while.


    "These flowers are called Spirit Devouring Flowers. I doubt you don''t recognize them. Wherever they grow, the spiritual energy depletes quickly. Without your spiritual power, how much strength can you still muster?"


    Mon Dark twisted his palm, and the bright Spirit Devouring Flowers immediately emitted a deep red light. The spiritual energy in the air thinned at an alarming rate. In the pit, the silver sheen on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros'' hard armor gradually dimmed.


    "Roar!"


    With an angry roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its five fingers into a fist and struck the mud wall fiercely. However, the punch that had previously made the wall tremble now only produced a dull thud, and then all was silent.


    Above the pit, Mon Dark''s lips curved into a faint smile. On his chest was pinned a dark blue petal, which blocked the light from the Spirit Devouring Flowers.


    "Now, are you willing to form a spirit pact with me?"


    Half a moment later, Mon Dark looked down at the extremely weakened Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, smiling as he extended his palm. A faint gray spiritual light swirled around his hand, and he gently pressed it towards the position of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Roar!"


    An angry roar echoed as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros waved its hand, shattering the descending faint gray light into countless light spots.


    "Unwilling, are you? Very well."


    Mon Dark turned around, stepping lightly on the back of the Rock Horned Python. He said softly, "Such a fine treasure as the Glowing Stone Ash shouldn''t be wasted. Today, you must advance to the fifth rank."


    The Rock Horned Python slightly nodded its menacing head. With a slam of its tail on the ground, it swiftly darted away, its twisted body crushing the rocks beneath it into powder.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros struggled to lift its eyelids. With a heavy thud, its body collapsed, and everything went black.


    "Bang!"


    With a sudden sweep of its thick tail, a mist of blood exploded over the rocky ground. Excitement gleamed in the Rock Horned Python''s eyes as it devoured the silver horns one by one.


    Piercing wails echoed ceaselessly above the rocky terrain. The mid tier, fourth rank Imperial grade Rock Horned Python, confronting a group of warrior grade Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceroses, was like a wolf among sheep, leaving blood mists in its wake.


    Seeing the increasingly formidable horn on the Rock Horned Python''s head, Mon Dark''s face revealed a satisfied yet bloodthirsty smile.


    "Swish!"


    Crimson blood flowed on the ground, forming what seemed like a river of blood, with one stream flowing directly into the pit.

 Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Annihilated

    The warm blood trickled over its hard armor, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros twisted in pain, struggling to stand. However, the emptiness of spiritual power within it caused it to tremble and collapse again."Roar!"


    A heart wrenching, agonized roar erupted from the pit, piercing the sky. The surrounding members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group all had changes in their expressions. Even though they knew the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros had lost its ability to resist, many couldn''t help but tremble in fear.

    Lying in the pit, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros gasped heavily, its mouth wide open, but its eyes were devoid of any light, as if all its vitality had been drained.


    "There are still a few more over there. Don''t let them escape," Mon Dark said coldly, standing on the back of the Rock Horned Python as he pointed to the distance.


    "Hiss!"


    Receiving the command, the Rock Horned Python''s tail flicked, darting out like lightning. Its scales, accompanied by the whistling sound of piercing wind, shot through the bodies of the remaining Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceroses.


    After swallowing the last few horns, a blinding light suddenly shone from the Rock Horned Python''s head, and a surge of powerful energy burst forth from its body.


    "Fifth rank!" Mon Dark laughed loudly, his eyes filled with intense madness. It was time for Hildan Town to belong solely to him!


    Jumping down from the Rock Horned Python''s back, Mon Dark quickly walked to the edge of the pit, his face brimming with excitement. He had been eyeing this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros for years, but each attempt had ended in failure. Now, he finally had a ninety percent chance of forcibly forming a spirit contract with it.


    Staring at Mon Dark''s face, which was filled with a deep smile, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros remained motionless, like a rigid statue, allowing Mon Dark''s spirit contract formation to envelop it.


    "Why isn''t it working yet?" Mon Dark withdrew his hand, frowning slightly. Then, he sneered. The more difficult the spirit contract was to form, the higher the potential of this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. In a few more days, once its resistance was completely worn down, the chances of success would further increase.


    "You few, stay here and guard it."


    Casually assigning a few people, Mon Dark turned away indifferently and slowly walked back to Hildan Town. There were some things he could no longer wait to do.


    "Roar!"


    A piercing howl faintly reached Blaze Regret''s ears. Lying on the rock, he slightly opened his eyes and then suddenly sat up, his gaze sweeping toward the eastern side of the mountains in confusion.


    "Did you just hear something?" Blaze Regret asked, gently stroking Red''s little head, somewhat uncertain.


    "Roar!"


    Red, holding a red fruit in its paws, thought for a moment before nodding slightly. It then put down the fruit and started gesturing with its claws to Blaze Regret.


    At this moment, a loud thud echoed as the sharp ice wings of the Ice Control Irenix sliced through the air, leaving a pale blue arc and cutting down the Giant Tree Leader. Around its body, several dazzling ice crystals reappeared, slowly rotating.


    "Finally broke through."


    Blaze Regret exhaled lightly, his face showing a hint of excitement. He smiled and said, "Shall we go and take a look?"


    With a lift of its paws, Red stuffed the entire red fruit into its mouth, its cheeks bulging, and nodded vigorously at Blaze Regret.


    As dusk gradually fell, the mountains were tranquil and peaceful. Several small spirit beasts on the ground gnawed at the berries they were holding. Seeing a figure flash past, they hurriedly darted back into their burrows in fear.


    "What a strong smell of blood."


    Stopping on the branch of a giant tree, Blaze Regret took a light breath of the cold air, his brows slightly furrowed. Ahead, the air was filled with a nauseating odor.


    With a gentle push off with his toes, the branch trembled as Blaze Regret''s figure darted forward again. He didn''t stop until he saw a few blurry figures in his sight.


    "So many people from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group." Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. As the second spiritual portal opened, the Ice Control Irenix appeared silently, flapping its wings.


    "Their leader spirit beast''s Rock Horn Python is really formidable. Even such a powerful Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros was taken down in one blow." A member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group leaned against a tree trunk, sighing with envy.


    "Of course. If you advanced to a Imperial grade spirit master, killing spirit beasts of the warrior grade would be just as easy. But I don''t think that''ll ever happen for you." Another spirit hunter said mercilessly.


    "Hehe, the leader is really generous. He only took the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s horn and left all the spirit cores behind. When we sell them in a few days, we''ll have enough money for our drinks for months!"


    In the distance, a spirit hunter walked over with a grin, spreading out a cloth bag. Hundreds of blood stained spirit cores scattered on the ground, their gray white glow containing extremely rich spiritual energy.


    Seeing the pile of blood stained spirit cores, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched. He quickly pushed aside the leaves beside him, and when he saw the dried blood sea on the distant rocky ground, his throat moved slightly.


    "Annihilated..." Blaze Regret''s pupils trembled fiercely. Even with his temperament, he couldn''t help but be a bit shaken. This was an entire tribe, completely wiped out!


    Looking down at the few chatting spirit hunters below, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The Ice Control Irenix beside him flapped its wings rapidly, and a bone chilling cold surged out. In an instant, those spirit hunters were turned into ice sculptures.


    Leaping down from the tree trunk, Blaze Regret looked at one of the spirit hunters. Extending his hand, he lightly pressed it against the ice created by the Ice Control Irenix. As a pale yellow flame burned, a terrified face slowly emerged.

 Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Together

    "You... you''re Blaze Regret!" the spirit hunter shouted in horror."Did your leader do this?" Blaze Regret''s face turned slightly towards the direction of the dried blood sea, his voice cold.


    "Our leader is a fifth level Imperial grade spirit master, don''t think that..." The spirit hunter''s words of intimidation were cut off midway, freezing in his mouth. An uncontrollable fear appeared on his face.


    "Don''t make me ask again." The sharp tip of an ice blade in Blaze Regret''s hand was positioned in front of the spirit hunter''s eyes, his calm voice slowly emanating.


    "Yes..."


    Receiving a definite answer, Blaze Regret turned around. The pale blue ice instantly froze the spirit hunter''s face again.


    "Though I expected the answer, how did the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros leader respond?"


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret''s gaze suddenly fell on a distant spot. There, the ground seemed slightly sunken, with a circle of deep red light around the edge, appearing extremely eerie in the silent night.


    "Devouring Spirit Flowers?" A hint of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly passed through his heart.


    So that''s how it is...


    With a light sigh in his heart, Blaze Regret picked up a stone from the ground and tossed it directly at the Devouring Spirit Flowers. The immense force caused the delicate flowers to instantly drift away into the distance.


    Devouring Spirit Flowers can consume all spiritual energy, even deconstructing and devouring spirit techniques used by spirit beasts. The only way to deal with them is by using heavy objects to push them far away.


    One by one, stones flew out, shattering the petals and scattering them. Blaze Regret patiently repeated this action until all the Devouring Spirit Flowers were pushed 33 meters away. Only then did he walk to the edge of the pit.


    With the help of the moonlight shining down from the sky, Blaze Regret looked at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lying in the pit, its face ashen. A sudden, indescribable sense of desolation welled up in his heart.


    If the Blaze family were to be destroyed, his fate might not be much different.


    Moreover, all of this had happened right in front of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Opening the Void realms Stone, Blaze Regret took out a pill. With a flick of his finger, the pill was sent flying with a snap, bouncing off the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s mouth.


    Lying in the pit, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s chest rose and fell slightly, but its eyes were extremely blank, as if Blaze Regret above it didn''t exist at all.


    As the leader of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clan, its sole purpose for living was to protect its clan members until the next leader was born. But without its clan members, what kind of leader could it be?


    Using his hands to push himself up forcefully, Blaze Regret sat at the edge of the pit. He took out a few fruits from the void realms Stone, gave one to Red, bit into one himself, and then tossed the rest down into the pit.


    "Once, before I had spirit awareness, my lifelong goal was to become a powerful spirit master, destroy the Snow family, and make the Blaze family control the entire Veloria City," Blaze Regret said, biting into the fruit. His lazy voice slowly echoed.


    "But later, a guy named Kartis Van came to the Blaze family when I gained spiritual awareness. That scumbag wanted to make the Blaze family a vassal to the Kartis family. Do you know what a vassal is? To put it bluntly, it''s a slave. Like a dog, you follow orders without any dignity. Except for those born to be dogs, I don''t think anyone could tolerate such a thing."


    "My father, Blaze Ash, is a man who values his dignity greatly. He would never lay a hand on a junior. So, I stepped forward. At that time, I didn''t have much confidence either, but it was better for me to lose face than to let my father be embarrassed. At worst, I could go to the Kartis family in a few years and take a beating. In my view, there was nothing shameful about that."


    Blaze Regret tossed away the fruit core and lightly clapped his hands.


    "Later, I met Master Magi. Hmm... He is a book, and like you, he is a spirit beast, though a bit special. Under his guidance, I broke through to become a Spirit warrior at an incredible speed. From that moment on, I decided I didn''t want to take that beating. Not only that, but I also wanted to go to the Kartis family and beat Kartis Van in front of everyone in the Kartis family."


    "As for controlling Veloria City, I had long forgotten about that. My future lies in becoming a powerful Spirit king, Spirit sovereign, or even a Spirit Celestical. No, I want to be stronger than a Spirit Celestical."


    The fervent light in his eyes burned for a moment before Blaze Regret shook his head and gave a self mocking smile. Perhaps he never imagined that one day he would say so much to a spirit beast.


    Standing up, Blaze Regret gazed at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros in the pit, whose face was still blank. After a while, he slowly turned around, and a low voice slipped from his mouth.

    "Useless."


    He then collected the Ice Control Irenix into the second spirit portal. Without looking back, Blaze Regret lifted his foot and began walking away.


    "Buzz!"


    Just as Blaze Regret took his first step, a faint silver light array suddenly blossomed from the pit. In the pitch dark night, it was like a splendid silver lotus.


    His body abruptly halted, and a faint smile slowly spread across Blaze Regret''s face.


    Blaze turn around and walking back to the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and stand infront it. Come with me, let destroy the Draconic Spirit hunting group together, said Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 216: Chapter 216 Battling Rock Horn Python

    With his eyes slightly closed, Blaze Regret''s third spirit portal, which was attribute less, swiftly traced in the air ahead. In an instant, grayish silver rocks began to solidify at the edges of the spirit portal, forming what seemed like a vast rocky terrain inside."Boom!"


    A massive figure leaped out of the pit, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros landed heavily on the ground. Its silver armor reflected a magnificent sheen under the moonlight. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It glanced indifferently at Blaze Regret, then with heavy steps, walked over to the ice sculptures. The members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group trapped within the ice showed faces filled with intense fear.


    "Boom!"


    With a casual punch, countless ice shards flew out with the wind of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist. The bodies of the trapped Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members were instantly shattered into countless pieces under the brutal force of the punch.


    Several more booms echoed as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros looked at the ground covered in ice fragments. A long suppressed roar erupted, and the previously noisy mountain range fell silent under the imposing sound.


    With a slight opening of its palm, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros transformed into a silver streak of light and quickly disappeared into the spirit portal. Blaze Regret looked up at the star filled night sky, his eyes glinting with determination.


    Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, it''s time to settle the score.


    The next day.


    Walking through the bustling small town, Blaze Regret scanned the surroundings and suddenly frowned. Most of the spirit hunters passing by were members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, with only a few sporadic individuals wearing the insignia of other hunting groups.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Regret murmured doubtfully to himself.


    Walking past several shops, Blaze Regret''s gaze suddenly fixed on a wood element spirit hunter. This hunter had no insignia on his chest, indicating he was a sole hunter and not affiliated with any spirit hunting group.


    Blaze Regret''s black eyes flashed slightly, and as he passed by the hunter, he swiftly reached out and pulled him into a nearby alley.


    "I don''t intend to harm you; I just want to ask some questions. Of course, you have the right not to cooperate," Blaze Regret said calmly, holding an icy blade to the hunter''s throat.


    Fear filled the hunter''s eyes, and without thinking, he hurriedly nodded.


    The young man before him was a spirit Imperial master!


    The gap in their strength left the hunter without even the thought of calling for help. Even if someone were to interfere, they would be no match for a powerful spirit master.


    Blaze Regret lowered the icy blade, and with a twist of his palm, the crystalline blade turned into a cloud of ice mist and gradually dissipated.


    "Can you tell me what exactly has been happening in Hildan Town these past few days? Why are there so many members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group everywhere?" Blaze Regret asked with a slight frown.


    "Senior, it''s Mon Dark. Ever since he returned from the Hildan Mountains last night, he''s been making harsh demands, forcing all spirit hunters to join the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Anyone who refused was killed on the spot. That''s why things are the way they are now," the spirit hunter said with a bitter smile.


    "Why didn''t you join?" Blaze Regret asked, intrigued as he sized up the man before him.


    "Senior, actually, I''m a member of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group. In Hildan Town, we''re the only ones who have survived Mon Dark''s coercion. However, Mon Dark announced this morning that if our leader doesn''t agree to his demands by evening, he''ll crush our spirit hunting group," the hunter said with a slight hint of defiance rather than fear.


    "That''s strange. Didn''t Mon Dark already have the power to unify Hildan Town before?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled, raising his eyebrows.


    The number of powerful spirit masters in all of Hildan Town could be counted on one hand. Even with the combined strength of the other spirit masters, they wouldn''t be a match for Mon Dark based on his previous strength. So why did he only reveal his ambitions yesterday?


    "That''s because our leader''s brother is a genuine fourth tier spirit Imperial master. Mon Dark didn''t dare to touch our Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group. When he returns tonight, Mon Dark will naturally find out who really calls the shots in Hildan Town," the spirit hunter said, his face filled with pride.


    "No wonder," Blaze Regret sighed softly, then looked at the spirit hunter before him with some pity. "I''ve got some bad news for you. Mon Dark is now a fifth tier spirit imperial master."


    "Impossible!" The spirit hunter screamed without thinking.


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret walked towards the alley''s entrance. He had gathered all the information he needed. All he had to do now was wait near the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group tonight.


    "Senior, are you really telling the truth?" The spirit hunter hurriedly followed Blaze Regret, his voice filled with urgency.


    "Do I have any reason to lie to you?" Blaze Regret glanced at the spirit hunter beside him, then turned his gaze away and walked out of the alley.


    "He must be lying to me," the spirit hunter shook his head. After a moment of thought, he quickly ran back to the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group.


    ...


    "Rubbish! Where did you get that information? A few days ago, Mon Dark was still a third tier spirit Imperial master. How could he suddenly become a fifth tier spirit Imperial master?"


    An angry voice echoed, and in the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, a middle aged man sitting in a chair slammed his hand on the table. The deep thud caused all the spirit hunters present to lower their heads in fear.


    This man was White Star, the leader of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group. He had just recently broken through to become a spirit Imperial master, which made him confident enough to disregard the once powerful Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.

 Chapter 217: Chapter 217 Battling Rock Horn Python 2

    Moreover, his elder brother White Sun was a genuine fourth tier spirit Imperial master. Together, the two of them could potentially defeat Mon Dark."Leader, everything I said is true. A spirit Imperial master told me personally," the spirit hunter who had spoken with Blaze Regret earlier wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled wryly.


    "A spirit Imperial master? Do you know him?" White Star narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice cold and slow.


    "No, I don''t. But he looked no older than seventeen or eighteen," the spirit hunter replied fearfully.


    "So young? When did Hildan Town produce such a character?" White Star''s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.


    "It''s Blaze Regret!" said a red clad woman who had been silent until now, standing in front of White Star. "Dad, a lot has happened in Hildan Town while you were in seclusion. I heard that the second and third leaders of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group were killed by him."


    Hearing this, a trace of seriousness appeared on White Star''s face, but he quickly shook his head with a sneer.


    "From what you said, this Blaze Regret clearly has deep grudges with the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. His words are hardly credible. He might just be trying to deceive us," White Star said confidently.


    "You''re right. My second uncle''s Fiery Ape isn''t to be trifled with. If Mon Dark dares to come, he won''t be leaving," the red clad woman nodded with a light laugh.


    "Boom!"


    Just as the red clad woman finished speaking, a powerful wave of energy surged in, and the main gate of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group shattered with a loud crash. Following that, a fiery shadow shot out and landed heavily on the ground.


    Amid the energy wave, a rock horn python of terrifying length slowly revealed itself. Standing atop its head, hands behind his back, was Mon Dark, with a gentle smile on his face.


    "Leader White Star, long time no see."


    Mon Dark''s faint smile echoed in the courtyard. For a moment, everyone in the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group was stunned and didn''t regain their senses for a long time.


    "I wonder if you like this little welcome gift?" Mon Dark gestured with his chin toward the fiery red figure on the ground, smilingly.


    "Fiery Ape!"


    As their gazes fixed on the fiery red figure on the ground, the numerous spirit hunters of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group couldn''t help but swallow, one after another exclaiming in disbelief.


    "Mon Dark, where is my second brother?" White Star stood up abruptly, shouting angrily.


    "I happened to run into him on the way here, so I dealt with him casually," Mon Dark said nonchalantly.


    "You!" White Star''s eyes almost burst with rage, and his hand inside his sleeve trembled slightly with anger.


    "Second Uncle..." The long eyelashes of the woman in red trembled, and a very bad premonition arose in her heart.


    "Rock Horned Python, finish it off."


    As Mon Dark''s indifferent voice fell, the Rock Horned Python flicked its bloodthirsty tongue and coiled its tail, lifting the blood stained body of the Fiery Ape into the air. With a sudden force, a cloud of blood exploded in the sky.


    "Mon Dark, I will kill you!" White Star gritted his teeth fiercely, and in front of his body, a light red magic array rapidly formed, emitting a scorching wave of energy.


    Upon seeing this, Mon Dark merely shook his head with a faint smile. Then, his eyes turned sharp, and an overwhelming pressure enveloped White Star, causing the summoning array he had just drawn to shatter instantly.


    "Fifth level Spirit Imperial Master!" White Star couldn''t help but take a step back, exclaiming in surprise.


    With a indifferent smile, Mon Dark lightly tapped his toes, and countless rock scales began to form around the body of the Rock Horned Python. Each scale shimmered with a sharp, menacing gleam.


    "Stop! From today onwards, our Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group will fully merge into the Spirit Hunting Group!" White Star shouted urgently as he saw Mon Dark about to strike.


    Upon hearing this, everyone in the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group lowered their heads slightly, a trace of sadness flashing in their eyes. Perhaps, this was the only way to save their lives.


    "That''s not enough," Mon Dark shook his head.


    White Star was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, looking somewhat uneasy at the figure on the Rock Horned Python''s back.


    "You should know that my son, Mon Star, was assassinated a few days ago," Mon Dark''s calm voice slowly resonated.


    "That wasn''t me!" White Star quickly said in a panic upon hearing this.


    "I know it wasn''t you, and you wouldn''t have the capability anyway. But my second and third brothers are dead. The Mon family needs an heir," Mon Dark''s eyes shifted, casting a fervent gaze upon the woman in red.


    "Mon Dark, you!"


    White Star''s face changed dramatically. He stepped in front of the woman in red, his voice trembling as he said, "Take anything you want from the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, but not Sunshine."


    "White Star, I''ve already given you a chance. Don''t waste it," Mon Dark''s voice carried a heavy threat.


    A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and the Rock Horned Python''s tail extended like a thick vine, wrapping towards White Sunshine. Seeing this, her pretty face turned pale with fright.


    "Tsk tsk, such a grown man still wanting to have a son, shameless and without any sense of shame."


    Just as the Rock Horned Python''s tail was about to touch White Sunshine, a teasing and sarcastic laugh suddenly came from the courtyard wall.


    Sitting on the high stone wall, Blaze Regret smiled as he looked at Mon Dark below, as if chatting with an old friend. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Seeing the figure on the high wall, Mon Dark was taken aback for a moment, then a sinister smile appeared on his face. "You little brat, should I say you have courage, or are you looking for death? Instead of hiding obediently in the Hildan Mountains, you dare to show up in front of me. Since that''s the case, you can stay in Hildan Town forever."

 Chapter 218: Chapter 218 Battling Rock Horn Python 3

    "Who will win or lose is still uncertain. Mon Dark, let me introduce you to an old friend first."With a wave of his hand, a spirit portal shimmering with silver light rapidly formed in the air. The massive body of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slowly stepped out, lifting its face and looking at Mon Dark with intense killing intent in its eyes.


    "Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros!" The smile on Mon Dark''s face suddenly froze, and a flash of rage surged across his face.


    He had paid a high price for that spirit beast, losing at least dozens of lives just to pick those Spirit Devouring Flowers. But in the end, Blaze Regret had picked it up for free!


    "I want you dead!" Mon Dark''s furious roar, filled with killing intent, echoed as he stepped into the courtyard. The Rock Horned Python then charged at Blaze Regret like lightning.


    "Roar!"


    Sensing the familiar bloody aura from the Rock Horned Python, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros roared, gathering spirit power in its fist, and collided heavily with the tail of the Rock Horned Python.


    "Boom!"


    Invisible shockwaves rippled through the air, and the spirit hunters in the courtyard were uncontrollably blown away. When they barely managed to steady themselves, their faces were filled with shock. If they had been any closer, the residual impact from the clash could have killed them.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros'' fists continuously collided with the Rock Horned Python''s lashing tail, producing deep, muffled sounds that echoed above the courtyard. All the spirit hunters passing by the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group stopped in astonishment.


    When they took advantage of nearby buildings to see what was happening inside the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, their faces were filled with amazement.


    "Rock Horned Python, use your Heavy Rock Tail!"


    Hearing this command, the Rock Horned Python raised its tail, and gray white rocks instantly solidified around it, giving it an extremely heavy appearance from afar.


    "Bang!"


    The rock laden tail was violently smashed down towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. The latter sidestepped and suddenly grabbed the tail, pinning it firmly to the ground.


    "Hiss!" The Rock Horned Python frantically twisted its body, but under the immense strength of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it couldn''t break free.


    With a powerful exertion of its arms, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros roared, and silver light shimmered on its massive palms. Then, it stomped on the ground and, to the amazement of the onlookers, lifted the entire body of the Rock Horned Python into the air.


    "Holy crap!" All the spirit hunters watching were dumbfounded.


    "What incredible strength!" White Sunshine, hiding inside a room, was also wide eyed with shock.


    The Rock Horned Python weighed no less than a small mountain, yet the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros had lifted it entirely. The terrifying strength made everyone''s scalp tingle.


    "Boom!" Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Holding the Rock Horned Python''s head, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros smashed it into the ground with a thunderous impact. The force created ripples that spread out, and wide cracks rapidly extended from around the python''s head. Several high walls collapsed at this moment.


    Dust, like smoke, enveloped the sky above the courtyard of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, clearly visible even from a thousand meters away.


    A sharp glint flashed in its eyes as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted the head of the Rock Horned Python. Just as it was about to smash it to the ground again, its pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and it stomped on the ground, quickly retreating.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of the ground breaking echoed. The twenty plus meter long body of the Rock Horned Python spun rapidly, and the rock horn on its head drilled towards the ground like a sharp drill. Its enormous body, almost filling the entire courtyard, instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    "Vanished?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly.


    "Boom!"


    In an instant, the ground below the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly shattered. A long, snake like figure shot out from it like lightning, sending the rhinoceros flying into the air. The sharp rock horn aimed directly at the rhinoceros''s abdomen.


    Mid level Imperial spirit skill, Rock Horn Assault!


    Sensing the fierce aura coming from below, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. It stomped on the head of the Rock Horned Python, bringing its palms together. Silver spiritual energy gathered between them, and waves of powerful force ripples spread downward.


    "Boom!"


    The first wave of force ripples struck, causing the body of the Rock Horned Python to tremble involuntarily. The aura on its sharp rock horn weakened significantly.


    "Boom!"


    The second wave of force ripples spread, and a faint trace of blood seeped out from the gray white armor of the Rock Horned Python. Although it was not very noticeable, it still caused Mon Dark''s pupils to contract sharply.


    "It''s the spirit skill, Pulse Shock! Rock Horned Python, shake it off quickly!" Mon Dark shouted loudly.


    Pulse Shock is a spirit skill that only the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros Imperial grade can comprehend. It can continuously release waves of force through the friction of spiritual energy between its palms, directly attacking the enemy''s internal organs and causing damage.


    Moreover, as the friction of the spiritual energy intensifies, the frequency of Pulse Shock will gradually increase, and its attack power will also significantly rise. If the fourth wave of Pulse Shock is released, even the Rock Horned Python would be shaken to death. If the eighth and final wave is released, even a powerful lord level spirit beast would be severely injured.


    Unfortunately, this spirit skill is extremely easy to interrupt, just like the scene before them.


    The Rock Horned Python swung its head, and several sharp rock spikes instantly cut through the air, aiming straight at the most vulnerable part of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s throat.


    With a fierce stomp, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros flew backward, landing heavily on the ground. Then, its tightly clenched fist brought down a powerful gust of wind, striking the ground hard.

 Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Battling Rock Horn Python 4

    "Crack!"A massive ravine split open from under the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist, mixed with an invisible shockwave that slammed into the Rock Horned Python''s body. In an instant, the upper body of the latter, which had not yet hit the ground, fell straight toward the building where White Sunshine and others were, crushing half of the magnificent structure.


    Seeing the gray white rocky body in front of them, White Sunshine and the others broke out in a cold sweat. They quickly summoned their spirit beasts and fled from the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group''s territory.


    At this moment, they couldn''t care less about the building. Staying alive was the best outcome.


    "This power is indeed terrifying." Mon Dark spun his foot on the ground, and a long rock pillar instantly tore through the ground, lifting him into the air. Around the rock pillar, endless light flowed, clearly indicating that this was a rock attribute spirit technique of Mon Dark''s.


    "However, my Rock Horned Python is of a higher rank than the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, and I still have a few cards up my sleeve. As long as I can defeat it and force Blaze Regret to terminate the spirit contract, this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros will be mine." Greed filled Mon Dark''s eyes.


    "Whoosh!"


    Amidst the rising dust, countless rock scales suddenly tore through the air, accompanied by an extremely sharp gust of wind, violently shooting towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Faintly, one could see gray white arcs of energy enveloping the front of the rock scales.


    Looking forward coldly, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros swung its fists, smashing all the incoming rock scales into pieces with a series of cracking sounds. Wrapped in spiritual energy, its massive fists remained completely undamaged.


    "What a powerful wave."


    Standing on the only remaining wall, Blaze Regret gazed at the Rock Horned Python in the dust, his pitch black eyes narrowing slightly.


    As the dust settled, the ferocious head of the Rock Horned Python appeared under countless gazes. Its sharp rock horn emitted a dense gray light, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged towards it frantically.


    "Is it a spirit skill?" Blaze Regret sighed softly.


    The current Rock Horned Python was undoubtedly much stronger than when it first entered the Blazing Spirit Tomb. Not only had its rank increased, but the spirit skills it had comprehended were also far more formidable.


    "Rock Debris Mountain Shattering Light!"


    With a low shout from Mon Dark, the sharp rock horn on the Rock Horned Python''s head suddenly doubled in size. Gray white spiritual energy rapidly condensed and then transformed into a light beam several dozen feet long, shooting out abruptly. The violent energy contained within it caused the surrounding air to ripple slightly.


    As the light beam streaked through the air, the rock below shattered even before the beam touched the ground, creating a deep ravine that extended straight towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Staring at the single horn atop the Rock Horned Python''s head, a trace of guilt flashed in the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes. However, that trace of guilt quickly faded, replaced by an overwhelming killing intent.


    "Roar!"


    A thunderous roar echoed, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists tightly. Silver rocks spread upward with cracking sounds. As the rocks solidified, a faint dragon shaped mark flickered at the forefront of its fists.


    "This is... a reversion to ancestral form?!"


    On top of the towering rock pillar, Mon Dark stared fixedly at the dragon shadow in front of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fists. An uncontrollable fervor surged onto his face, and his pupils trembled slightly with excitement.


    "I must have this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros!" Mon Dark clenched his fists tightly. Even before discovering this feature, he was determined to obtain this creature. But ever since seeing the dragon shaped mark, its value had skyrocketed a thousandfold in his mind.


    Feeling the immense power transmitted through his fists, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s lips curled into a cold smirk. Then, it knelt on one knee and hammered its tightly clenched fists heavily onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    Under the weight of its heavy fists, the hard rocky ground instantly shattered. Numerous fragments of rock formed a ferocious earth dragon, accompanied by faint dragon roars, crashing solidly into the incoming light beam.


    The collision of the two forces created a tremendous sound wave that filled the faces of the onlooking spirit hunters with intense fear. For a moment, all sound disappeared from their ears, replaced only by the incessant ringing of tinnitus.


    "Boom!"


    The overwhelming gust of wind rampaged over the courtyard, which had already been leveled to the ground, for nearly a minute before gradually subsiding.


    What lay before the eyes was a pitch black ground; as the wind blew, the earth crumbled inch by inch, revealing a terrifyingly massive crater under everyone''s gaze.


    "Hiss!" Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gazing dumbfoundedly at the utterly ruined courtyard, the sound of people gasping in shock echoed from all directions and lingered for a long time.


    "So, this is the power of an advanced spiritual technique," White Sunshine murmured, lightly covering her mouth with her slender hand, her eyes filled with endless fear. If they had come out just a bit later, everyone would have been obliterated by that impact.


    On either side of the giant crater, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and the Rock horn Python glared at each other from afar, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.


    "It actually withstood it," Mon Dark muttered, his eyes darkening. He was well aware of the destructive power of the Rock Fragmentation Light; even the hardest mountains would be blasted to pieces. Since the Rock horn Python had comprehended this spiritual technique, it was the first time it hadn''t achieved an unstoppable effect.


    "Roar!" Red lay on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, its glassy eyes flickering with an uncontainable heat. Its current strength was significantly inferior to the formidable Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Breaking through was the only way to catch up.

 Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Failed Spirit Master

    "Blaze Regret, I never thought you could tame that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros," Mon Dark said, standing atop a stone pillar, his sinister gaze shifting to Blaze Regret below."If you consider that taming, then I can only say you''re a failed spirit master," Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice spread out.


    In Blaze Regret''s understanding, spiritual beasts were his second life. Whether it was Red or the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros below, they were equal to his life. The term ''taming'' was an insult to spiritual beasts.


    "Heh, controlling power is true success; everything else is just empty talk," Mon Dark shook his head with a faint smile. "How about we make a deal? If you give me that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, all of Hildan Town will be yours, including these spirit hunters, all at your command."


    Upon hearing this, the surrounding spirit hunters subtly furrowed their brows. No one likes being treated as a commodity for trade.


    Moreover, many among them had been forced to join the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group. Given the chance, they would rather leave Hildan Town and find a new place to train.


    "Calling you a beast is an insult to beasts," Blaze Regret glanced at the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros below and voiced his disgust without holding back.


    "Then there''s nothing more to discuss!" Mon Dark''s face turned livid at Blaze Regret''s words. He wasn''t afraid of Blaze Regret; he had made that offer to avoid the Rock horn Python''s spiritual technique from harming the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "In that case, let''s not hold back. As long as it''s not killed, I have ways to heal it," Mon Dark said with a cold smile.


    At the edge of the giant crater, the Rock horn Python suddenly raised its tail and thrust it into the ground with a thud. Ashen white spiritual power flowed visibly towards its body.


    As the spiritual power poured in, the Rock horn Python''s body became as crystalline and dazzling as jade, emanating an extraordinarily powerful aura.


    "Boom!"


    With a slap of its giant tail on the ground, the Rock horn Python shot into the air and began to spin rapidly. The speed was so intense that it caused the air to whistle sharply. From a distance, the spinning snake body looked like a grey white tornado.


    Ferocious winds swirled around the Rock horn Python, and higher buildings nearby shattered inch by inch before being ground into powder, forming a white halo around the tornado.


    "An advanced Imperial Grade spiritual technique," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed. Only the Rock horn Python''s massive size could create such a cataclysmic scene. However, he had considerable confidence that the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros could withstand this spiritual technique.


    "Roar!"


    With a mighty roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros raised its fist slightly, and silver spiritual power swirled around it wildly, distorting the surrounding air.


    Shattering Fist was the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s most powerful offensive spiritual technique. Legend has it that in ancient times, a powerful Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shattered the very air with this fist, hence the name.


    "It''s over," Mon Dark''s lips curled into a faint smile.


    "Whoosh!"


    After a slight tremor, the tornado formed by the Rock horn Python roared downwards, crashing fiercely towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros on the ground. The howling sound of the windbreaking spread, audible even from a kilometer away.


    "Advanced Imperial grade spiritual technique, Rockburst Mountain Break!"


    Mon Dark''s cold voice rang out as the grey white tornado rapidly approached the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. The latter''s clenched right fist punched out at an extremely slow pace, causing the space ahead to seem faintly fractured.


    Boom!


    When the two forces collided, the ground seemed to tremble. Violent energy waves swept out like tidal waves, engulfing the streets within a thousand meter radius.


    "Buzz! Buzz!"


    Numerous defensive spiritual techniques quickly interwove around the area wind walls, flame shields. Amidst the energy waves, only these spots showed some light.


    Standing atop a high wall, Blaze Regret''s breathing was slightly rapid. Below, the ground had collapsed under the thunderous impact, revealing an astonishing depression. It took a long time for the violent energy waves to gradually subside.


    The scene in the middle of the battlefield slowly became visible to everyone.


    "You must win," White Sunshine clasped her delicate hands together, her voice tinged with a sob. She couldn''t imagine the dreadful fate awaiting her if Mon Dark were to win.


    Similar sentiments echoed in the hearts of many spirit hunters. They weren''t members of the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group. If Blaze Regret could help them break free from its control, they were willing to pay any price.


    Eyes filled with intense hope focused on the battlefield. Soon, all the spirit hunters couldn''t help but widen their eyes.


    On the ground, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s right fist was tightly pressed against the Rock horn Python''s horn. That sharp horn had completely pierced through its right fist, with crimson blood dripping steadily onto the ground.


    The twenty meter long body of the Rock horn Python still hovered in the air, its massive eyes fixated on the silver figure before it.


    "Crack!" sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s right fist trembled, and fine cracks appeared on the Rock horn Python''s head. The cracks quickly spread, covering the entire body of the Rock horn Python in an instant.


    "How can this be!" Mon Dark, half kneeling on a rock pillar, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared below.


    "Smack!"


    With a light wave of its left hand, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros struck the Rock horn Python''s head. Instantly, the latter''s body shattered from the head backward, countless fragments raining down into the giant pit like a rock shower.


    Witnessing this scene, countless cheers of joy erupted from all directions, while the faces of the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group members twitched slightly. Experience new tales on empire


    The powerful Rock horn Python had been killed with a single punch from the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros!

 Chapter 221 Chapter 221

    "We won," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile, clutching his chest to suppress the pain emanating from it.Wiping the blood off its right fist, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its head, its indifferent gaze fixed directly on Mon Dark.


    With a brief pause, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous suddenly lunged forward, its tightly clenched right fist smashing into the stone pillar where Mon Dark was standing. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Boom!"


    The stone pillar shattered, and Mon Dark''s face showed intense fear. His body fell uncontrollably, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous below grabbed him by the throat.


    Looking into the cold eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous, Mon Dark couldn''t help but shiver. A chill ran through his entire body, and the once powerful aura on his pale face was nowhere to be seen.


    "Mon Dark, did you ever think this day would come when you exterminated the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous clan?" Blaze Regret stood up straight, his calm voice resounding.


    "Heh, my only regret is not getting rid of you, you little bastard, sooner." Knowing that there was no escape today, Mon Dark sneered defiantly.


    Blaze Regret shook his head lightly and leapt down from the high wall. Looking at the excited faces of the spirit hunters, he exhaled softly.


    "Bang!"


    The sound of a head shattering echoed through the Flame Star Spirit Hunters courtyard. After Mon Dark''s terrified scream, there was no more noise.


    "Roar!"


    The triumphant roar of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous, having avenged its great hatred, reverberated through the sky. In the Flame Star Spirit Hunters courtyard, two silver ripples suddenly spread out, causing the onlooking spirit hunters to show envious expressions.


    After slaying Mon Dark, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous broke through, and it wasn''t just a single breakthrough it was a consecutive two tier breakthrough!


    Turning his gaze, Blaze Regret looked at the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous stepping out of the dilapidated courtyard. His face showed no surprise. Battle has always been the most solid way to enhance one''s strength, especially when it''s a challenging cross tier battle.


    The cold, indifferent eyes glanced at Blaze Regret. The silver armor on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous shimmered under the moonlight with a fierce glow, containing a powerful, restrained force.


    "Are you satisfied?" Blaze Regret asked the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous slowly.


    Ignoring Blaze Regret, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous scanned its surroundings. After a moment, it suddenly dashed out, charging towards the terrified members of the Draconic Spirit Hunters group, all of whom had participated in yesterday''s events.


    As the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous''s fists swung, bursts of blood mist exploded on the street. Many spirit hunters quickly removed their emblems from their chests. Once they saw the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous stop after killing a few, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Come back."


    Blaze Regret summoned the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous back into the third spiritual portal, muttering somewhat helplessly, "Do you have to be so cold? After all, I am your spirit master."


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret looked around and slowly spoke with a cold voice, "From now on, there will be no mention of Draconic Spirit Hunting group in Hildan Town."


    Hearing this, many spirit hunters cast grateful looks at Blaze Regret, and White Sunshine''s beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.


    "Too bad he''s a bit too young," White Sunshine murmured softly.


    "What did you say?" White Star asked, puzzled, as he looked at White Sunshine.


    "I said, the headquarters of the Draconic Spirit Hunters must be destroyed; otherwise, they might rise again," White Sunshine replied, her face blushing slightly but with a serious tone.


    Hearing this, all the surrounding spirit hunters nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with sharp killing intent directed at the Draconic Spirit Hunters.


    "I wonder how much treasure that old guy Mon Dark has accumulated over the years," Blaze Regret mused, gently stroking the soft fur of the red flame beside him. The second spiritual portal, a light blue one, rapidly formed in the air.


    In front of the Draconic Spirit Hunters courtyard.


    "Hehe, the captain went to the Flame Star Spirit Hunters. White Star''s daughter is really quite the beauty, but being able to marry our captain would be her good fortune," a spirit hunter said, leaning against the courtyard gate with a lewd smile on his face.


    "Isn''t it said that White Star''s brother is a fourth rank Imperial grade spirit master? It might not be so easy to get his hands on her," another spirit hunter said hesitantly.


    "A fourth rank Imperial Grade spirit master is nothing. If that guy''s Fiery Ape can withstand even one move from the captain''s Rock Horned Python, it would already be impressive," the first spirit hunter retorted disdainfully.


    If it were a fourth rank Imperial Grade spirit master with wood or water attributes, they might be able to put up a fight against the Rock Horned Python. But with fire attributes being suppressed by rock attributes, the Fiery Ape would be nothing but a plaything in front of the Rock Horned Python.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the Ice Control Irenix retracted its wide icy wings, Blaze Regret leaped down from it. The few spirit hunters who had been chatting immediately tensed up, but when they saw Blaze Regret''s youthful face, a mocking expression flashed in their eyes.


    Not all members of the Draconic Spirit Hunters had experienced the siege against Blaze Regret. Those who had just joined had little understanding of the situation, which was why they were assigned to guard the gate. Read new chapters at empire


    "Who are you looking for?" one spirit hunter asked, glaring at Blaze Regret.


    "Move aside," Blaze Regret said coldly.


    "Oh, quite the temper you have there. Could it be that you''re our captain''s illegitimate son? Haha, you''re here to see our captain, aren''t you? Well, you can go in, but first, kneel here for a while. Maybe our captain will take pity on you and grant you an audience," the spirit hunter said mockingly, looking Blaze Regret up and down with a superior air.

 Chapter 222 Chapter 222 The Treasure Vault

    "An audience?" Blaze Regret smirked. This Mon Dark really saw himself as some kind of local emperor.Seeing Blaze Regret standing still, the spirit hunters burst into raucous laughter, evidently considering Blaze Regret a rare source of entertainment in their otherwise dull guard duty.


    With cold, indifferent eyes, Blaze Regret''s body moved suddenly. His palm, covered in pale yellow flames, forcefully pressed the head of the spirit hunter who had just spoken into the ground.


    Witnessing this scene, the smiles on the faces of the laughing spirit hunters froze instantly.


    Blaze Regret casually clapped his hands, not even glancing around, and walked straight into the courtyard. The remaining spirit hunters, trembling with fear, felt their legs go weak and did not dare to stop him.


    "SSpirit Imperial Master..." one of the spirit hunters finally stammered after a long silence.


    "That''s Blaze Regret! Quickly inform the captain!" another spirit hunter, finally remembering Blaze Regret''s identity, hurriedly took out a communication conch. Since the death of Mon Star, the Draconic Spirit Hunters no longer had any other Imperial grade spirit masters. Facing Blaze Regret, they had no outcome other than being instantly killed.


    "Yes, once the captain returns, he will surely die!" a harsh voice echoed faintly at the front of the courtyard.


    "Wait, why are there so many people up ahead?" one of the spirit hunters muttered as he noticed the rolling dust clouds in the distance. Before he could finish his sentence, countless attacks rained down, piercing their bodies with thousands of holes in an instant.


    "Rebellion..." a spirit hunter standing atop a tall building looked at the crowd surging like a human tide, his face filled with terror. An ominous feeling pervaded his heart.


    The treasure vault of the Draconic Spirit Hunters was located beneath the main hall. Blaze Regret easily made his way to the front of the vault door after interrogating a random spirit hunter.


    "Break it open," Blaze Regret said lightly as he looked at the iron forged door ahead.


    Clenching his fist tightly, a silver sheen flowed over it. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stomped forward, its massive iron fist carrying a violent force that smashed through the door with a loud crash.


    After a few more punches, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros gave the door a gentle push, causing the tattered door to fall backward.


    "Damn!"


    As the dust settled, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but curse at the sight inside the vault. Piles of gold coins, resembling small mountains, filled the entire vault. A rough estimate put the number at no less than a million!


    Swallowing lightly, Blaze Regret stepped inside without a second thought and quickly opened his void Realm Stone, stuffing all the gold coins into it.


    With the gold coins gone, the once crowded vault became spacious, leaving only a few wooden shelves placed in the corners.


    "What a waste," Blaze Regret muttered as he walked to the wooden shelves. Seeing a few dried spirit herbs, he frowned slightly. Apart from the gold coins, it seemed like Mon Dark didn''t have much else of value.


    "Ding!"


    At that moment, a crisp sound rang from Blaze Regret''s second spiritual portal. The usually calm Ice Control Irenix suddenly became restless.


    Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Blaze Regret waved his hand, and the Ice Control Irenix appeared, emitting a chilly aura that swirled around the vault.


    As soon as it appeared, the Ice Control Irenix flapped its crystalline wings and flew to a withered spirit herb. A beautiful ice lotus quickly emerged beneath it.


    "Hmm?" A trace of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. This ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Sage and had been lurking in his spiritual portal. Apart from unintentionally saving him once before, it had remained inactive. Now, it had reappeared on its own.

    The ice lotus slowly rotated, and the withered spirit herbs on the wooden shelf rapidly disintegrated, turning into a thin icy mist that flowed into the ice lotus, leaving only some residue scattered on the ground.


    "Buzz!"


    After absorbing the essence of those spirit herbs, the petals of the ice lotus seemed to tremble slightly, showing faint signs of blooming.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. In the Ice Crystal Cave, Master Magi had mentioned that this ice lotus could be used by the Ice Control Irenix to help it break through, but it had not yet matured.


    "Could it be that it needs some kind of catalyst?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he picked up the residue on the ground and sniffed it lightly.


    "So it''s Ice Bamboo Flower," Blaze Regret said with a smile of delight on his face.


    Flicking the residue of the Ice Bamboo Flower from his hand, Blaze Regret did not hesitate and quickly looted the entire vault. Besides the gold coins, the vault contained mostly healing pills, which were something he was in dire need of.


    Stepping out of the vault with large strides, Blaze Regret smelled the scent of blood in the air and shook his head slightly. The tables had turned; the Draconic Spirit Hunters had once been arrogant and ruthless, killing other spirit hunters at will. Now, they were finally getting their comeuppance.


    Lying on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret was carried into the sky, streaking like a pale blue beam of light towards the shops in Hildan Town.


    The Ice Bamboo Flower got its name because it only grew in the habitats of a spirit beast known as the Ice Bamboo Spirit. These spirit beasts were extremely fond of a substance called Ice Condensation Dew, which experienced spirit hunters used to lure them away, allowing them to harvest the Ice Bamboo Flowers extensively.


    However, the price of Ice Condensation Dew is extremely expensive, usually costing tens of thousands of gold coins per bottle. But now that Blaze Regret was flush with cash, he didn''t care much and bought several bottles. Then, along with Red, he headed out of Hildan Town.

 Chapter 223 Chapter 223 Bamboo Spirit

    "It''s time to go to Bloodstone Pass." Blaze Regret grinned as he looked at the marker on the map.Back then, when he had just left Veloria City, he was merely a lowly spirit warrior grade. In the blink of an eye, those spirit imperial masters who once seemed so powerful to him now appeared relatively insignificant.


    "According to Master Magi, that Mystical beast should still be slumbering in the Black Abyss. So, I''ll set my training for the next period at Bloodstone Pass."


    With those whispered words, Blaze Regret''s figure flickered and quickly disappeared into the dark night.


    Bloodstone Pass, unlike Veloria City, is a gathering place built by spirit master. The spirit masters there are all ruthless and lawless, even more so than the spirit hunters of Hildan Town.


    Yet, despite or perhaps because of this reputation, many prominent families favor Bloodstone Pass. Spirit masters there are very generous, and their goods sell even better than those in the towns.


    In the silent forest, cold winds howled as Blaze Regret walked slowly, clutching his black robe. Three spirit beasts of varying sizes surrounded him, their eyes vigilant, scanning their surroundings.


    Even while traveling, Blaze Regret didn''t let his three spirit beasts stop their training. To him, not a single moment could be wasted.


    He lifted his face slightly, and in the pale blue sky, it seemed there was a cold, beautiful face. Blaze Regret smiled faintly and shook his head; at some point, his goal of becoming stronger had gained an additional purpose.


    "Whoosh!"


    A low growl sounded as Red''s ears twitched, excitedly staring to the right. Moments later, a spirit beast surrounded by lightning suddenly lunged toward them, its cold eyes fixated on Blaze Regret.


    "Smack!"


    Just as Red was about to confront it, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly turned its head. With a massive palm accompanied by a whistling wind, it slammed the spirit beast heavily against a tree. The latter twitched once and then fell still.


    Seeing this, Red pouted in discontent.


    Blaze Regret took the lightning attribute spirit core handed over by the Ice Control Irenix and casually placed it into the Void Realm Stone. Then, the four figures continued their journey through the forest.


    This scene persisted for nearly a month.


    During this time, Red, who had the help of Black flame Mud for training, undoubtedly made the most progress, advancing by one level. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros also seemed to be on the verge of reaching the sixth level. Only the Ice Control Irenix remained at the same level.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly and gently patted the Ice Control Irenix''s small head.


    The Ice Control Irenix, a spirit beast that can only train by absorbing pure ice energy, requires either the refinement of rare treasures or the slow absorption of ice attribute spiritual energy from the air to advance.


    It''s only someone like Blaze Regret who could afford to raise such a unique spirit beast; most spirit masters wouldn''t be able to manage it.


    "Another half day''s journey and we''ll reach Bloodstone Pass," Blaze Regret sighed as he looked ahead.


    After traveling for so many days without finding the Ice Bamboo Essence group, it seemed he would have to spend a considerable amount of money to purchase it once they reached Bloodstone Pass.


    "Clink!"


    The Ice Control Irenix, which had been in a dazed state, suddenly became excited. Its crystalline wings gently flapped, and a cold wind whipped across Blaze Regret''s face. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Found something?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with joy. The only thing that could excite the Ice Control Irenix so much would be the Ice Bamboo Flower!


    "Don''t move, it''ll be over soon."


    Blaze Regret applied the cool and refreshing Ice Condensation Dew all over Red''s soft fur, grinning awkwardly as Red showed a face of disdain.


    Red shook its fur and, without even giving Blaze Regret a glance, darted straight towards the Bamboo Spirit''s gathering place, looking like a pale yellow streak of light, clearly in a huff.


    To lure all the Bamboo Spirits away, Blaze Regret had come up with this idea. Last time, when he was picking Lava Fruits, he had Red take the lead. Now, he was just repeating the strategy, though the temperature of the Ice Condensation Dew was indeed a bit hard to bear.


    Dashing into the Bamboo Spirit colony, Red vigorously shook its tail, spreading the scent of the Ice Condensation Dew as much as possible. Instantly, all the Bamboo Spirits rooted in the soil pulled up their roots and rushed towards it all at once.


    Running wildly ahead, Red let out a cry. Hearing this sound, Blaze Regret felt relieved and walked into the Bamboo Spirits'' territory.


    "Why are there still little ones here!"


    Seeing the tiny beasts blinking naively on the ground like bamboo shoots, Blaze Regret''s face changed. Bamboo Spirits, as spirit beasts, were naturally of low Imperial level. Once surrounded by them, it would be extremely troublesome, which is why most spirit hunters preferred not to provoke them.


    Without thinking, Blaze Regret took another bottle of Ice Condensation Dew from his void realms stone and carefully dripped it into the mouths of the Bamboo Spirit cubs. They smacked their lips, showing satisfied expressions, and then closed their eyes as if falling asleep.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Although these Bamboo Spirit cubs weren''t a threat to him, he wasn''t as ruthless as Mon Dark and couldn''t bring himself to kill harmless spirit beasts.


    Standing up, Blaze Regret glanced around and then smiled in relief. On a long vine, several pale blue Ice Bamboo Flowers were blooming, surrounded by thin icy mist, looking extremely beautiful.


    With a slight effort, Blaze Regret easily plucked an Ice Bamboo Flower, which then turned into a rich cold mist and entered his second spirit portal, where it was absorbed by the Ice Lotus within.


    After absorbing the essence of the Ice Bamboo Flower, the Ice Lotus instantly became crystal clear. Beside it, the Ice Control Irenix flapped its large icy wings in excitement.

 Chapter 224 Combine

    Unlike the Lava Fruit, the Ice Bamboo Flower was of no use to the Bamboo Spirits. It was merely an accompanying spirit herb, so the Ice Bamboo Flowers on this vine were extremely well preserved.In the blink of an eye, most of the Ice Bamboo Flowers on the vine were picked. Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. In the distance, a few figures seemed to be moving, and their direction was precisely towards the Bamboo Spirit colony.


    "Brother Nan, are you sure this is okay? The Bamboo Spirits are imperial grade spirit beasts. If they hurt us, it''s not just a matter of losing some skin," a voice filled with deep anxiety said, sounding extremely fearful.


    "Don''t worry. Even though they are Imperial Grade spirit beasts, they''re pretty dumb and not very aggressive. Just take this bottle of Ice Condensation Dew and run far away," another voice replied.


    As they spoke, several figures appeared at the edge of the Bamboo Spirit colony. When they parted the leaves and saw the empty rock ground, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.


    "Brother Nan, there''s someone there!" A relatively plump young man pointed in Blaze Regret''s direction, exclaiming in shock. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It seems someone got here first. But we worked hard for the intel on the Ice Bamboo Flowers, so we can''t just give up. Besides, he looks young, probably no more than a fourth tier spirit warrior. With my seventh tier spirit warrior strength, he poses no threat," the young man addressed as Brother Nan stood up abruptly, his face darkening as he walked towards Blaze Regret.


    "Hey, do you know this area belongs to someone?" The young man stared at Blaze Regret, speaking coldly.


    Blaze Regret glanced at him indifferently, then returned his focus to picking the Ice Bamboo Flowers, showing no indication of paying attention to him. This dismissive attitude cast a shadow over the young man''s face.


    "Kid, don''t be too arrogant. I''m from the Jack family of Bloodstone Pass," the young man said menacingly.


    "Oh? You''re Jack Nan? The one who got beaten up by the Blood Mark Sect''s young master two years ago?" Blaze Regret turned his head in surprise, but his words instantly ignited a look of rage on Jack Nan''s face.


    The Blaze family had numerous interactions with Bloodstone Pass, and Blaze Regret had been familiar with several major forces there since childhood. The Jack family in Bloodstone Pass was barely considered a small family, with strength only slightly superior to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Such strength was insignificant to the current Blaze Regret.


    Glaring intently at the young man''s face, Jack Nan''s fists clenched tightly. Two years ago, he was publicly beaten by He Nan, the young master of the Blood Mark Sect, for harassing one of their members, and was ordered never to set foot in the central area of Bloodstone Pass again. This incident had always been a sore spot for him.


    Due to the Jack family''s influence, few in Bloodstone Pass dared to mention this matter, so Blaze Regret''s words undoubtedly reopened Jack Nan''s old wounds.


    "I don''t know who you are, but this area belongs to the Jack family. It''s outrageous for you to come and steal things silently," Jack Nan said with a sinister tone.


    "I only know that this is the territory of the Ice Bamboo Spirits," Blaze Regret scoffed. Not to mention the Jack family, even the Blood Mark Sect wouldn''t dare claim this area, given the sheer number of Ice Bamboo Spirits that would make even a high level spirit master shudder.


    "Heh, stealing and still arguing about it. You''re the most shameless person I''ve ever met. You say this is the territory of the Ice Bamboo Spirits? Then where are they?" Jack Nan retorted, looking dismissively at Blaze Regret.


    "Yeah, where are the Ice Bamboo Spirits?" echoed the other Jack family members who had followed Jack Nan. They swarmed forward, hurling all sorts of accusations, as if Blaze Regret had really stolen from them.


    "Clowns," Blaze Regret said coldly, then turned his head. With a stomp, he unleashed a powerful aura, the kind only a spirit Imperial master possessed, enveloping Jack Nan and the others without reservation.


    "Sp... Spirit Imperial Master!" Feeling the pressure, Jack Nan''s expression changed dramatically, his body freezing like a statue. The others behind him trembled violently.


    "Leave," Blaze Regret said, absorbing the last Ice Bamboo Flower into his second spirit portal. His voice carried no emotion, and Jack Nan and his companions, feeling as if pardoned, fled without looking back, faster than rabbits escaping wolves.


    Shaking his head slightly, Blaze Regret felt a hint of disdain. These family heirs were truly spoiled. If thrown into Hildan Town, they wouldn''t survive a day.


    In the distance, a pale yellow figure dashed over, and Red, with a face full of resentment, jumped into Blaze Regret''s arms, burrowing into his clothes.


    Feeling the cool sensation on his chest, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth and swiftly left the Ice Bamboo Spirit colony. Meanwhile, the Ice Lotus in his second spirit portal began to bloom after refining the last trace of the Ice Bamboo Flower''s spiritual power.


    Sitting cross legged on the ground, Blaze Regret''s eyes were slightly closed. In front of him, a crystalline ice lotus slowly rotated, its blooming petals shimmering with a pale blue glow. Above the ice lotus, the Ice control Irenix folded its wings, and a cold aura rose from the ice lotus, swirling around it like a halo.


    "Combine!"


    Explore hidden tales at empire


    Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly opened, and he formed a seal with his hands. The petals of the ice lotus began to close inward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Ice control Irenix''s body was enveloped within the petals. The closing ice lotus resembled a pale blue bud, carrying the Ice control Irenix as it returned to Blaze Regret''s second spiritual portal.


    Sorry yesterday i did''n feeling well. So i take 1 days leave.

 Chapter 225 Meeting Again

    Wiping the sweat from his face, Blaze Regret stood up and let out a slight sigh of relief. To perfectly merge the Ice control Irenix with the ice lotus, almost all the spiritual power in his second spiritual portal had been drained, a consumption that even he found hard to sustain."Hey, you can come out now," Blaze Regret said with a mix of helplessness and amusement.


    Parting the black robe on Blaze Regret''s chest, Red''s little head popped out, its furry little ears twitching, and it looked at Blaze Regret with a threatening expression. Its sharp claws shot out with a swish.


    "I promise, if this happens again, I''ll smear freezing dew on myself, and you can go snatch things," Blaze Regret quickly swore, as if fearing Red might swipe at him.


    Seeing this, Red nodded in satisfaction and then exerted a little force with its paws, sitting down on Blaze Regret''s shoulder.


    ...


    Bloodstone Pass, as a gathering place for numerous cultivators, had a higher flow of people than even Velorian City.


    Looking at the signboard, which seemed to be drenched in blood, Blaze Regret''s eyes showed a trace of complex emotions. Many members of the Blaze family often transported goods to Bloodstone Pass. He wondered if there was a possibility of encountering them here.


    However, Bloodstone Pass was terrifyingly large, even larger than three Velorian Cities combined. The possibility of such an encounter was evidently extremely slim.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret shook his head and walked into Bloodstone Pass. The overwhelming cacophony of merchants hawking their goods made him feel as though he had stepped into another world. Life in the Hildan Mountains had almost made him forget the bustling prosperity a town should have.


    After walking for a while, Red, perched on his shoulder, suddenly tugged at Blaze Regret''s hair. Its little paw kept pointing toward the signboard of a distant restaurant, and drool was nearly dripping from its mouth.


    "All you think about is eating," Blaze Regret said with a smile, flicking Red''s head. After thinking for a moment, he stepped into the restaurant.


    To get a general understanding of a place, restaurants and tea houses are usually the best options.


    When Blaze Regret entered, the waiter didn''t hesitate and promptly handed him a menu. Blaze Regret smiled, took it, and gently placed it on the table.


    Wiping the drool from its mouth, Red''s eyes sparkled as it pointed wildly at the menu, selecting only meat dishes made from high level spiritual beasts. Its enthusiasm caused the waiter''s eye to twitch slightly.


    Although all the items were dishes, their prices varied greatly. The ones Red had just selected each cost thousands of gold coins, an amount an average person could never afford.


    "Is that all?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile when Red finally stopped. Enjoy new stories from empire


    Red nodded and flicked its tail, causing the menu to land in the stunned waiter''s hand with a light whoosh.


    Accepting the gold coin card Blaze Regret handed over, the waiter''s face immediately lit up with a sycophantic smile as he hurried toward the counter.


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret took out a thick ancient book from his void realms stone and began to read it slowly. Ever since Master Magi had fallen into a deep sleep, some matters had to be handled by Blaze Regret himself.


    "Ten Thousand Spirits Art..." Blaze Regret read the title word by word, then immediately turned to the page without a second thought.


    As his eyes moved down the page, a look of astonishment gradually appeared on Blaze Regret''s face.


    It turns out that the most powerful aspect of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art isn''t just that it allows the spirit portal to accommodate spirit beasts of different attributes, but that it can actually increase the number of spirit Portals!


    Swallowing discreetly, Blaze Regret''s eyes scanned his surroundings with his peripheral vision. After confirming that no one had noticed his reaction, he felt relieved and continued reading the ancient book.


    "So, I''m not the first person to practice the Ten Thousand Spirits Art. The previous master of this art managed to open fifteen spirit Portals, which means he could battle with fifteen spirit beasts simultaneously!"


    Just imagining that number made Blaze Regret''s head spin. Such an existence was beyond his current comprehension.


    The greatest advantage of a practitioner of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art is the ability to become a multi source spirit master, capable of fighting multiple opponents at once. Increasing the number of spirit Portals would undoubtedly amplify this advantage. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "If the first practitioner of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art had fifteen spirit Portals, then his reputation on the Spirit Beast Continent must have been extremely prominent."


    With a snap, Blaze Regret closed the ancient book. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes as a blueprint of the future began to take shape in his mind. Just the thought of commanding a horde of spirit beasts with a wave of his hand made his blood boil with excitement.


    "However, opening new spirit Portals is extremely difficult. Each time requires the assistance of special pills, and for the first spirit Portal, one must refine a pill called the Heart Pill. Moreover, the minimum requirement is to be a seventh rank spirit Imperial master."


    Blaze Regret''s mind raced, and his hand inside his sleeve trembled slightly with excitement. He seemed to understand why Master Magi had given him the Medicine Emperor Seed and practicing the Ten Thousand Spirits Art required exceptional alchemy skills as support!


    "The Heart Pill is a third grade pill. I wonder if I can successfully refine it now," Blaze Regret mused, licking his lips. He had never given up on studying alchemy even in the Hildan Mountains, but he had never attempted a third grade pill before.


    "Just my luck, running into a spirit Imperial master as soon as I left Bloodstone Pass."


    The sound of a chair scraping against the floor and a venomous voice suddenly reached Blaze Regret''s ears. He furrowed his brows slightly and looked up, only to see Jack Nan and his companions approaching.

 Chapter 226 Finding Trouble

    Their eyes met, and Jack Nan hesitated for a moment before a sinister smile slowly spread across his face."Looks like today isn''t so unlucky after all."


    Jack Nan gave Blaze Regret a sinister smile before turning his head and beckoning to the waiter, "An Tut, come here."


    Find more to read at empire


    Upon hearing this, the waiter hurried over, his eyes filled with respect as he looked at Jack Nan.


    With his arm around the waiter''s neck, Jack Nan whispered something into his ear, his expression betraying an unmistakable slyness.


    Catching snippets of their conversation, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. What terrible luck, this inn turned out to be a property of the Jack family. No wonder Jack Nan wore a cat and mouse expression the moment he saw him.


    After a brief hesitation, the waiter nodded repeatedly and quickly made his way to the kitchen.


    "Friend, since you''re on Jack family territory, let me give you a proper welcome," Jack Nan said, his voice dripping with sarcasm and echoing through the inn.


    Hearing this, the other guests in the inn turned their heads, casting sympathetic glances at Blaze Regret.


    With their extensive experience, they instantly grasped the situation.


    This young man had the misfortune of offending Jack Nan. He was in for a rough time.


    Blaze Regret ignored the numerous glances cast his way, gently stroking the fur of Red, who lay lazily on the table, humming contentedly.


    "A grown man raising a pet like a girl," Jack Nan sneered, and the Jack family members sitting with him burst into laughter.


    "Looking for a beating again?" Blaze Regret lifted his face and looked at the provocatively grinning Jack Nan, speaking playfully.


    Jack Nan''s face immediately turned ugly at these words. The guests around turned red, stifling their laughter. Every person in Bloodstone Pass knew of the young master Jack''s embarrassing incidents.


    "You just wait and see," Jack Nan pressed his fist against the table hard, thinking angrily.


    "Sir, your dishes are here."


    At this moment, the waiter brought a few plates and placed them in front of Blaze Regret. Red, eager to pounce on the food, extended a paw but stopped mid air.


    What should have been all meat dishes had turned into a mess of wild vegetables, with not a speck of meat in sight; only the humblest servants would normally eat such things.


    "Oh, so the strong prefer eating this stuff, what fine taste," Jack Nan laughed heartily, his voice filled with the pleasure of revenge.


    The surrounding guests became excited, watching the unfolding drama with keen interest.


    "You''re playing with fire," Blaze Regret said, applying slight pressure to the wooden chopsticks in his hand, snapping them in two. His calm voice now carried a hint of coldness.


    "What are you talking about? I don''t understand," Jack Nan spread his hands, feigning innocence.


    Blaze Regret propped a hand on the table and stood up, slowly walking towards Jack Nan, a pale yellow flame gradually spreading from his palm.


    "Uncle, someone is causing trouble!" Jack Nan shouted in panic.


    Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly and moved. His flame covered hand, carrying a scorching force, mercilessly reached for Jack Nan''s throat.


    "Young man, causing trouble on my Jack family''s turf are you not taking us seriously?"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s hand was about to land on Jack Nan, a chilling aura suddenly enveloped the area. An icy hand tore through the air, grabbing Blaze Regret''s wrist tightly.


    The one who grabbed Blaze Regret''s wrist was a middle aged man, whose features bore some resemblance to Jack Nan. This man was Jack Bun, a third tier spirit imperial master with a notable reputation on the outskirts of Bloodstone Pass.


    "Are you the owner of this inn?" Blaze Regret glanced over and asked calmly.


    "Indeed, I am. May I ask why you attacked someone? Are you intentionally causing trouble?" Jack Bun immediately pinned the blame on Blaze Regret, shifting all responsibility onto him. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Heh, causing trouble? Far from it. I ordered a full table of meat dishes, costing nearly ten thousand gold coins. And what was served?" Blaze Regret shook his arm slightly, retrieving his hand without a trace, and spoke coldly.


    Upon hearing this, the faces of the inn''s guests changed, and they looked at Blaze Regret with newfound curiosity. Spending nearly ten thousand gold coins on a meal what kind of wealth did this require?


    "Are you joking? You, affording such an exorbitant price?" Jack Nan boasted from behind Jack Bun.


    "An Tut, bring this customer''s gold card," Jack Bun said, beckoning someone behind him without changing his expression.


    Responding promptly, the waiter hurriedly brought a gold card and handed it to Jack Bun with both hands.


    "Hmph!"


    After a brief spiritual scan, Jack Bun snorted coldly. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the gold card to the ground near Blaze Regret''s feet, causing the guests in the inn to pause in surprise.


    "This gold card has less than a hundred gold coins. Are you trying to make a fool of me?" Jack Bun''s slightly icy voice echoed through the inn.


    "Indeed, birds of a feather flock together."


    Blaze Regret shook his head and sneered, "The gold card I have isn''t this one. Mine has a Hildan mark on the lower right corner. Boss Jack, would you kindly bring over the gold cards from the counter for verification?"


    After taking down Mon Dark, Blaze Regret found at least three gold cards in his void realms stone, all bearing the unique mark of the Hildan Hunters, which couldn''t be erased.


    Jack Bun''s expression shifted slightly. He hadn''t expected Blaze Regret to be so cunning. If what he said was true, the reputation of this inn would plummet.


    "You think you can just order us around? Who do you think you are?" Jack Nan glared icily at Blaze Regret. With Jack Bun, a third tier spirit Imperial master, present, he felt emboldened and didn''t take Blaze Regret seriously at all.


    Hearing this, Jack Bun nodded, maintaining an official demeanor.

 Chapter 227 Finding Trouble 2

    "In that case, I have no choice but to offend you." Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed, flames flickering at his feet as he prepared to dash past Jack Bun to retrieve the gold cards from the counter.With the gold card in hand, he could prove his innocence. Without it, his reputation in Bloodstone Pass would be tarnished.


    "How dare you!"


    Jack Bun shouted coldly, and a dark spiritual array rapidly appeared before him. A beetle engulfed in black flames suddenly emerged, its transparent wings vibrating and covered in intricate patterns.


    "Uncle, he''s just here to cause trouble. Teach him a lesson!" Jack Nan''s face lit up with excitement as the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived.


    "The Black Flame Beetle Jack Bun summoned his strongest spirit beast right away. He clearly doesn''t want to give that young man a chance."


    "Who knows, maybe the young man really did intend to dine and dash. It''s not like it hasn''t happened before." Your next chapter is on empire


    Voices of discussion echoed throughout the inn, but everyone maintained a spectator''s stance. In Bloodstone Pass, the key to survival was to mind one''s own business.


    "A mid tier third rank imperial grade spirit beast, huh?" Blaze Regret smirked. When Red was at the first rank, it could only manage a draw against such an opponent at best. But now, this Black Flame Beetle was no match for Red.


    "Swish!"


    With a push off the table, Red shot out, deftly dodging several incoming black flames. It swiftly maneuvered around the Black Flame Beetle in a dazzling display of agility.


    "A high tier imperial grade spirit beast, the Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat!" Jack Bun''s pupils contracted. Blaze Regret hadn''t released his aura earlier, so Jack Bun had assumed he was just a formidable spirit warrior. He hadn''t expected that Jack Nan had provoked a genuine spirit Imperial master!


    "Even so, my Black Flame Beetle is third rank. Even if it can''t defeat the Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat, it shouldn''t be easily beaten."


    Just as this thought crossed Jack Nan''s mind, his face twitched violently. Sharp flame crystals suddenly rained down around the Black Flame Beetle, piercing its body!


    The Black Flame Beetle crashed to the ground, its legs twitching weakly. The inn fell into an instant silence.


    The blazing attack of the Red was as swift as thunder, catching everyone off guard. Its speed was so fast that most people could only see a few flame crystal pillars forming around the Black Flame Beetle. The next moment, the Black Flame Beetle was mercilessly pierced by the flame crystal pillars, severely injured, and fell.


    As Blaze Regret walked past the stunned Jack Bun and Jack Nan, he extended his hand, and the terrified shop assistant quickly handed over all the gold coin cards.


    With a quick flick of the gold coin card in his hand, Blaze Regret smiled faintly and lifted the gold coin card with the Hildan mark towards Jack Bun, "Boss Jack, I''ve paid. Isn''t it time to serve the dishes?"


    Jack Bun''s face twisted in pain as he collected the Black Flame Beetle into his spirit portal, not daring to show any anger. If Blaze Regret hadn''t held back just now, his Black Flame Beetle would have been instantly killed.


    "An Tut, serve the dishes," Jack Bun said with a twitch, walking out of the restaurant without looking back.


    "Boss Jack, don''t be in such a rush. I''d like to invite you for a drink. What do you say?" Blaze Regret smiled as he blocked Jack Bun, knowing exactly what the old man was thinking. If he let him go, it wouldn''t take long for the Jack family''s strongmen to arrive.


    "Hehe, what happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Since the little brother is inviting, it would be rude of me to decline," Jack Bun forced a smile, his mouth twitching.


    "Boss Jack, since it was a misunderstanding, then..." Blaze Regret pulled Jack Bun to the table, smiling.


    "Of course, as long as you and your spirit beast can eat it, no matter the price, I''ll cover it," Jack Bun said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, smiling apologetically.


    "That''s good," Blaze Regret nodded. As the spirit array was drawn, a massive silver figure slowly stepped out.


    Seeing the suddenly appearing spirit beast, Jack Bun''s heart skipped a beat.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros coldly eyed the food on the table, grabbed a plate, and poured it directly into its mouth. Then, it casually tossed the empty plate to the ground.


    "Crack!"


    The jade plate shattered into countless pieces.


    In less than ten breaths, food worth nearly ten thousand gold coins was all devoured by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, clearly still unsatisfied.


    Seeing the cold and imposing Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, everyone in the restaurant couldn''t help but gasp quietly. It wasn''t just because of its enormous appetite, but because the young man sitting there was actually a dual source spirit master!


    Compared to the shock of the others, Jack Nan and his group were completely dumbfounded. Only they knew that Blaze Regret was not just a dual source spirit master but an even more terrifying triple source spirit master!


    It was only now that they realized they had kicked an iron plate.


    "Little brother, this..." Jack Bun looked at the now empty table, his scalp tingling. Nearly ten thousand gold coins worth of food had been effortlessly devoured by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros!


    "Boss Jack, we must keep our word," Blaze Regret said cheerfully, tapping the table as if scolding an old friend for trying to cheat.


    Raising its sharp claw slightly, the Red stared intently at Jack Bun, with faint flames flickering at the tip of its claw.


    "An Tut, why are you still standing there? Serve the dishes!" Jack Bun swallowed hard and shouted at the dumbfounded shop assistant, though his face was full of pain.


    After quickly devouring several more tables of food, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros sat coldly on the ground, while the Red squatted on the table, eating heartily and contentedly twitching its little ears.

 Chapter 228 Kartis Wave

    "Boss Jack, it seems my spirit beasts aren''t full yet," Blaze Regret glanced at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and then looked at Jack Bun with a hint of regret."Boss, we''re out of ingredients!" the shop assistant wailed. That was spirit beast essence worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and it was all devoured by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros in just a few bites.


    Hearing this, Jack Bun''s heart clenched tightly, almost suffocating. For some families in the core area of Bloodstone Pass, ten thousand gold coins were not a small amount, let alone for the Jack family.


    "How about we come back tomorrow?" Blaze Regret looked at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and asked tentatively. The latter nodded silently.


    "Little brother, please don''t!" Jack Bun stood up uncontrollably, his face full of terror.


    Just this one meal had already cost the Jack family a significant portion of their wealth. If Blaze Regret came a few more times, even the largest family would be eaten into bankruptcy by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "That''s truly a pity." Blaze Regret shook his head regretfully, wiped Red''s mouth, then stored the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros back into the Spirit portal and started walking towards the door.


    "Boss Jack, I hope this matter ends here, don''t you think?"


    Just a step away from the door, Blaze Regret suddenly turned back and looked at Jack Bun with a smile. Only after seeing Jack Bun nod frantically did he step out.


    "Uncle, why didn''t you inform my father to come and kill this brat!" Jack Nan said urgently, watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure.


    "Slap!"


    Raising his hand, Jack Bun gave Jack Nan a hard slap across the face, glaring at him angrily. "You little troublemaker, all you do is cause problems! Never mind whether your father could even come, that kid could tear this restaurant apart before he arrives!"


    Clutching his now swollen face, Jack Nan stood there in a daze, feeling as if all the eyes around him were mocking him.


    "I will kill you, I must kill you!" Jack Nan slumped onto a bench, his fists clenched tightly, murderous intent growing wildly like weeds in his heart.


    Perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red was completely relaxed, clearly satisfied after a hearty meal.


    Although Hildan Town had restaurants, they were nowhere near the level of this place.


    "Zhixin Pill, a third grade pill. Ingredients: Youqi Tianxiang Grass, Dragonberry Fruit, and Netherworld Blossom." Blaze Regret walked down the street, flipping through an ancient book in his hand, feeling a wave of dizziness.


    All three ingredients were spirit herbs, and extremely rare ones at that. Take the Youqi Tianxiang Grass, for instance only one had ever been recorded in the entire Sun Moon Empire, and it was just a legend.


    Closing the book with a bitter smile, Blaze Regret gently stroked his chin.


    Relying solely on himself, he might not find this spirit herb even by the time he advanced to Spirit Lord. He would have to cast a wide net.


    By the end of the day, Blaze Regret had scoured every shop in Bloodstone Pass but found no trace of the Youqi Tianxiang Grass, leaving him slightly agitated.


    "Pure Water Pavilion."


    At dusk, Blaze Regret stood in front of a pavilion, lightly furrowing his brows. It was said to be a spirit herb shop, but judging by its structure, it didn''t look like a shop at all.


    "Whatever, let''s go in and take a look." Blaze Regret shook his head and walked straight into the Pure Water Pavilion.


    Entering the Clear Water Pavilion, Blaze Regret''s gaze swept around, revealing a trace of surprise in his eyes. This pharmacy had none of the complex decorations found in other shops. There were only two wooden shelves placed in the corners of the walls. The texture of the wood gave off a faint sense of an ancient era. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As his gaze moved forward, he noticed a young man leaning lazily on the counter, playing with an incense burner. A refreshing aroma wafted from it, instantly lifting one''s spirits with just a whiff.


    Looking at the young man, Blaze Regret''s expression became somewhat peculiar. He had seen many beautiful women, but it was the first time he had encountered such a delicate looking male. His fair skin was even more exquisite than that of many women.


    "Little guy, what are you looking for?" The young man raised his head, revealing a handsome face, and spoke in a somewhat languid tone.


    "Senior, may I ask if you have these three herbs?" Blaze Regret coughed lightly and handed over a piece of white paper.


    "Yuqitian Fragrant Grass, Dragon Solanum Fruit, Netherworld Stamen these herbs are quite rare." The young man tapped his slender fingers on the table, and the smoke from the incense burner swirled around his loose black hair.


    Experience exclusive tales on empire


    "Sorry, but my humble shop does not have these herbs." The young man flicked his fingers, and the paper listing the ingredients for the Zhixin Pill slowly floated back to Blaze Regret''s hand.


    With a sigh of disappointment, Blaze Regret pursed his lips. Although he hadn''t held much hope when entering the shop, hearing the definitive answer still left him somewhat dejected.


    "Sorry to bother you," Blaze Regret cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, turned around, and headed out of the shop.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s departing figure, the young man''s eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.


    "Wait, little guy, what''s your relationship with Nor Amelia?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s footsteps halted in mid air, frozen for a long while.


    Moments later, Blaze Regret turned around, staring at the young man with a face full of astonishment. The latter''s expression remained calm and indifferent, as if the question had not come from him.


    "Senior, I don''t know what you''re talking about," Blaze Regret replied calmly, but in the palm of his right hand, hidden behind his back, a sharp ice blade suddenly appeared.

 Chapter 229 Clue

    "Heh, don''t be nervous. I mean no harm. Let me introduce myself I am Kartis Wave, from the Kartis family of the Empire''s Central region," the young man said with a smile.The Kartis family!


    Blaze Regret''s body tensed up immediately, and a faint chill flashed in his eyes.


    "You seem quite hostile towards the Kartis family," Kartis Wave observed, a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    "I just don''t have a good impression of them," Blaze Regret sneered. If the young man in front of him knew that he had killed Kartis Song from the Kartis family not long ago, his elegant demeanor would likely be shattered instantly.


    "The Kartis family... I haven''t been back there in a long time," Kartis Wave shook his head and said softly, "By your demeanor, it seems you have some grudge against the Kartis family. But don''t worry, their matters have nothing to do with me. My surname is just a formality."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned inwardly. He was starting to find it hard to discern the young man''s intentions.


    "I''ve told you my name. Don''t you think you should introduce yourself?" Kartis Wave''s smiling face gave off an extremely gentle vibe, making it hard for Blaze Regret to find a reason to refuse.


    "My name is Blaze Regret," Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to be truthful.


    "As expected, I see his shadow in you. How is Blaze Ash doing these days?" Kartis Wave sighed, his voice calm.


    Upon hearing this, cold sweat seeped from Blaze Regret''s palm. For the first time, he felt as if someone had seen through all his secrets.


    First Nor Amelia, and now his father this young man named Kartis Wave seemed to know everything.


    "Your father was quite a remarkable figure in the Empire''s Central region back in the day. And after leaving that place, he soared even higher. Unfortunately..." Kartis Wave shook his head lightly, trailing off.


    "You know my father?" Blaze Regret asked urgently.


    "More than just knowing him," Kartis Wave began, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. "Forty years ago, a man named Ice Lotus Master froze Stell Stone City and slaughtered 100,000 lives. It was your father and I who personally killed him."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind. Kartis Wave''s words contained so much information that he found it difficult to process all at once.


    Forty years ago? That would mean his father, Blaze Ash, must be at least sixty years old.


    Although cultivators have extremely long lifespans and sixty years is merely youth for a Spirit Master, why then did Blaze Ash appear to be in his middle years?


    Moreover, Kartis Wave had just mentioned that Ice Lotus Master was slain by him and Blaze Ash. Given Blaze Ash''s Spirit Lord level strength, how could he have participated in such an event?


    Questions swirled like a storm in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "What, Blaze Ash never told you?" Kartis Wave looked at Blaze Regret, puzzled. Then, with a wave of his hand, two large doors slammed shut with a bang, leaving the two people about to enter Clear Water Pavilion standing there, stunned.


    "Can you tell me about my father''s past?" Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled bitterly.


    "Forget it. If Blaze Ash didn''t want to tell you, then I have no reason to either. Let''s talk about Nor Amelia instead," Kartis Wave said, changing the subject with a mischievous smile.


    "Nor Amelia?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Yes, you have a trace of Heavenly Kui''s aura on you. I trust my senses are not mistaken," Kartis Wave nodded, his tone teasing.


    "Heavenly Kui?" Blaze Regret''s face changed abruptly upon hearing this. Nor Amelia''s mystical beast was actually Heavenly Kui!


    Heavenly Kui, a water attribute mystical beast, ranked seventh in the Mystical Beast Records. Although the rankings in the Mystical Beast Records are not solely based on strength, the higher the rank, the rarer their appearances on the Spirit Beast Continent. The most recent records of Heavenly Kui date back thousands of years.


    "What is your relationship with Nor Amelia?" Blaze Regret snapped back to reality, a hint of wariness appearing in his eyes.


    "Oh, getting jealous?" Kartis Wave chuckled. Though his tone was calm, his provoking demeanor was infuriating.


    "None of your business!" Blaze Regret retorted, abandoning any pretense of respect for his elder and rolling his eyes at Kartis Wave.


    "Strictly speaking, I am Nor Amelia''s uncle," Kartis Wave said with a playful smirk.


    "Greetings, Uncle Kartis!" Without thinking, Blaze Regret quickly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, his attitude shifting so rapidly that Kartis Wave was momentarily taken aback.


    "You''re quite straightforward," Kartis Wave said, caught between amusement and exasperation.


    "Since you know my father, calling you uncle is only fitting," Blaze Regret replied earnestly, realizing for the first time just how thick skinned he could be.


    "Time flies; I must be getting old," Kartis Wave shook his head with a smile. "Since you put it that way, I won''t hold back any secrets. The spiritual herbs you''re looking for are indeed rare, but I do know something about the whereabouts of the Yuqitian Fragrant Grass and the Netherworld Essense."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up, and he unconsciously crumpled the white paper in his excited grip.


    He hadn''t expected that in just one afternoon, he would obtain clues about two of the spiritual herbs. Entering this Clear Water Pavilion had indeed been the best decision of the day. Your adventure continues at empire


    Night gradually descended like a curtain over the vast Bloodstone Pass. Even though it was night time, the hustle and bustle inside the pass did not diminish in the slightest. Countless lanterns, as numerous as fireflies, illuminated the streets, and the lively atmosphere could be felt clearly even from within the inn.


    "It turns out that Netherworld Essence is a companion elixir of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, only growing beside it. No wonder there''s no detailed record of it in ancient texts. If I can find the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, I will naturally find the whereabouts of the Netherworld Essence."

 Chapter 230 Patel Family

    Sitting cross legged on the bed in his guest room, Blaze Regret savored the information provided by Kartis Wave and gently pursed his lips."Reportedly, the Patel family in Bloodstone Pass obtained a seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass a year ago, and the location where it was found is in the Black Nether Abyss. If I visit the Patel family tomorrow, I will naturally learn more." Blaze Regret smiled.


    Although he didn''t know why Kartis Wave was in Bloodstone Pass, the information he provided was extremely useful. The materials needed for refining the Heart Calming Pill and information about the Black Nether Abyss were all things Blaze Regret urgently needed to know.


    "Roar!"

    Lying at Blaze Regret''s feet, Red weakly wagged its fluffy tail, looking tired.


    "Sleep now. We''ll have something to do tomorrow."


    Blaze Regret laid out his bedding and then lazily lay down, looking content. It had been a long time since he felt this comfortable. In Hildan Town, even sleeping at night, he had to worry about being stealthily killed by spirit hunters or spirit beasts.


    The night quietly passed.


    The next morning, at dawn.


    For some reason, Bloodstone Pass was particularly restless today. Early in the morning, Blaze Regret was awakened by the bustling voices of people.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Regret frowned and pushed open the wooden window. He saw several figures wearing the same clothes darting anxiously through the streets below.


    "I heard that Patel Rong, the head of the Patel family, has had a relapse of his old injury. This time, it''s particularly severe, and he might not make it through."


    The faintly overheard words instantly dispelled Blaze Regret''s drowsiness, a trace of urgency flashing in his eyes. According to Kartis Wave, the seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass was in Patel Rong''s possession. If something happened to him, who knows when Blaze Regret would be able to find information about the Ghostly Fragrant Grass again.


    Dressing as quickly as possible, Blaze Regret placed the still drowsy Red on his shoulder, then hurried out of his room. After settling all his bills, he quickly stepped out of the inn.


    A quick scan of the surroundings revealed numerous figures in gray clothing pasting papers on the streets. Approaching one of them, Blaze Regret saw that they were looking for alchemists.


    "The minimum requirement is a Grade Two Alchemist. What kind of injury did Patel Rong sustain?" Blaze Regret murmured to himself.


    Grade Two Alchemists were rare even in velorian City, let alone in Bloodstone Pass, which was of significantly lower overall strength. Finding a Grade Two Alchemist here would be extremely difficult.


    "May I ask, what kind of injury did Master Patel Rong sustain?" Blaze Regret asked a nearby Patel family member in a low voice.


    "Who do you think you are, calling our master''s name so casually?" The young Patel family member, seeing Blaze Regret''s youthful face, immediately showed signs of impatience, his tone unkind.


    "Patel kin, the young man is just asking a question. No need to get so worked up." Another Patel family member quickly intervened, pulling Patel kin aside and offering Blaze Regret an apologetic smile.


    "Young man, you must be new to Bloodstone Pass and unaware of certain matters. Our master was bitten by a Fire Refining Snake in the Black Nether Abyss a year ago and was poisoned. Only a Grade Two elixir, the Water Resonance Pill, can cure him."


    "But although this elixir is classified as Grade Two, it is extremely difficult to refine. Even after spending a fortune to hire several Grade Two Alchemists, the Water Resonance Pill still hasn''t been successfully made."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded. So that''s how it was.


    While he didn''t possess the formula for the Water Resonance Pill, he had heard of its reputation. This elixir was known as a Grade Two elixir that only a Grade Three Alchemist could successfully refine. No wonder Patel Rong''s snake venom couldn''t be purged.


    "Patel Shin, why are you wasting time talking to him?" Patel kin glanced at Blaze Regret with clear disdain in his voice.


    "Can I give it a try?" Blaze Regret ignored Patel kin and instead smiled at Patel Shin.


    "You?" Patel kin sneered and shook his head. These days, it seems like anyone dares to pretend to be an alchemist.


    "Young man, are you an alchemist?" Unlike Patel kin, Patel Shin''s eyes lit up with excitement.


    Without saying a word, Blaze Regret opened his palm and gave it a slight shake. A pale yellow flame emerged with a soft "whoosh," its energy more potent than that of an ordinary Grade Two Alchemist.


    Seeing the flame in Blaze Regret''s hand, Patel kin was stunned into silence, his face full of disbelief. In the next moment, fear crept into his heart damn it, this guy really is an alchemist!


    Even without knowing Blaze Regret''s exact grade, just the fact that he was an alchemist meant he wasn''t someone a mere Patel family member like Patel kin could afford to offend. Everyone knew how much trouble offending an alchemist could bring.


    "Young man, what grade of alchemist are you?" Patel Shin asked, still stunned but overjoyed.


    "Grade Two. I can try refining the Water Resonance Pill. Perhaps I might succeed." Blaze Regret replied with a calm smile.


    "Young... Master, please follow me." Patel Shin respectfully bowed and gestured for Blaze Regret to follow him towards the Patel family residence.


    "No need to be so formal. Just call me Blaze Regret." Blaze Regret said, waving his hand dismissively as he walked.


    "Very well, Blaze Regret. I apologize for any offense." Patel Shin walked beside Blaze Regret, his eyes brimming with joy. Building a good relationship with an alchemist could bring immense benefits, an opportunity he had never encountered before.


    Even the lowest Grade One Alchemist wouldn''t usually spare him a glance. The prestige and arrogance of alchemists were well known across the continent.


    "Damn it!" Patel kin bit his lip, looking at Patel Shin with envy and jealousy. If only he had treated Blaze Regret with a bit more respect, he might have had this opportunity instead of Patel Shin.

 Chapter 231 Prove

    "However, even if he is a Grade Two Alchemist, it doesn''t mean he can successfully refine the Water Resonance Pill. When the time comes, I want to see how he makes a fool of himself." Patel Kin''s eyes were filled with venom, and his initial disappointment quickly turned into resentment and hatred.With that thought, Patel kin quickened his pace, trailing behind Blaze Regret and Patel Shin from a distance, all the while cursing silently in his heart.


    The Patel Family, located on the southern side of Bloodstone Pass, stood out with its grand architectural outline compared to the neighboring courtyards. The gilded characters of "Patel Family" further emphasized the family''s prestige.


    "Patel Shin, weren''t you supposed to go out and find an alchemist? Why are you back so soon?"


    As Blaze Regret was observing the structure of the Patel Family residence, a guard at the gate suddenly spoke up. From his slightly questioning tone, it was clear that his status in the Patel Family was much higher than Patel Shin''s.


    "This is the alchemist," Patel Shin quickly glanced at Blaze Regret and said.


    "Oh? So young?" The Patel Family member had just shown a hint of doubt on his face when a pale yellow flame suddenly rose before his eyes. Immediately, the indifference on his face vanished, replaced by deep fear and respect.


    "Master, please come in!"


    Under numerous heated gazes, Blaze Regret stepped through the Patel Family''s main gate. Any Patel Family member who saw him quickly stood aside, showing utmost respect.


    "Being an alchemist is really a well regarded profession," Blaze Regret sighed inwardly. As long as one had a connection with these three characters, they could thrive anywhere. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Walking slowly, after a moment, a hall filled with silhouettes finally appeared in Blaze Regret''s sight.


    "The poison of the Fire Refining Snake is truly dreadful, to have reduced an eighth tier spirit Imperial master to this state," Blaze Regret muttered as he looked at a middle aged man sitting at the head of the hall with his eyes closed.


    That middle aged man was none other than Patel Family''s head, Patel Rong. Most of his hair had fallen out, and he was weakly leaning against the chair. His skin was covered in red spots.


    On either side of the main seat sat an elder, both with proud expressions. Their every movement exuded an arrogance that looked down on the Patel Family.


    "Master Blaze, that man in the red robe over there is a second tier alchemist named Star Megami, and the one in the purple robe is Swith Mark, also a second tier alchemist," Patel Shin softly said, pointing in their direction.


    Blaze Regret nodded slightly, lifted his foot, and strode into the hall.


    As soon as Blaze Regret entered, dozens of gazes immediately turned toward him. Unlike the guards at the gate, they were unaware of Blaze Regret''s status as an alchemist, so their faces were filled with curiosity and suspicion.


    Star Megami and Swith Mark, however, continued sipping their tea, not even bothering to glance at Blaze Regret.


    Find your next read on empire


    "Patriarch, this is Master Blaze. He says he can attempt to refine the Water Resonance Pill," Patel Shin announced loudly, cupping his hands in respect. It was clear that the Fire Refining Snake''s poison had also affected Patel Rong''s hearing.


    Leaning against his chair, it took Patel Rong a considerable effort to open his eyes, which held a faint trace of red within the black pupils.


    "Poof!"


    Before Patel Rong could speak, Star Megami spat out a mouthful of tea, looking at Blaze Regret with a mocking expression. Swith Mark also curled his lips in disdain.


    "Master? Since when did the title ''Master'' become so cheap?" Star Megami scoffed, wiping the tea from his beard with a tone full of ridicule.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Perhaps his alchemy skills were not considered exceptional in the central empire, but in this small Bloodstone Pass, he definitely deserved the title of ''Master,'' at least more so than Star Megami.


    Moreover, as soon as he entered the hall, Blaze Regret noticed that the auras of Star Megami and Swith Mark were slightly disordered, indicating they were merely beginners in the second tier alchemist rank. Their abilities were even slightly inferior to his own when he had just left Velorian City.


    "Oh? Young friend, are you also an alchemist?" Patel Rong asked slowly, his lips trembling. Just uttering those few words caused sweat to bead on his forehead.


    Without a word, Blaze Regret clenched his fist, and a pale yellow flame danced in his palm like a lively sprite.


    "This flame is nothing special, barely has the strength of a first grade alchemist." Start Megami sneered, his voice extremely mocking.


    Swith Mark glanced at Blaze Regret''s flame, then withdrew his gaze, not even bothering to lift his head again. In his perception, Blaze Regret was still at the level of a first grade alchemist, and in the eyes of a second grade alchemist, a first grade one was no different from an ordinary person.


    With a slight flick of his palm, the pale yellow flame dissipated, and Blaze Regret lowered his hand.


    His alchemy skills were already very close to those of a third grade alchemist. At this stage, the aura of the alchemic flame had begun to become restrained, and unless one surpassed a second grade alchemist, it was impossible to detect.


    "Young friend, do you know that the Water Resonance Pill is a second grade elixir?" Patel Rong said slowly. He wasn''t familiar with alchemy, so upon hearing Start Megami''s words, he automatically labeled Blaze Regret as a first grade alchemist.


    "Patriarch Patel, if you don''t mind, I can refine the elixir for you right now." Blaze Regret''s voice was calm. From the look of Patel Rong, he could only last another three days at most. In such a situation, as long as he showed a bit of skill, Patel Rong would definitely be willing to try.

 Chapter 232 Refining

    He came to the Patel family intending to extort Patel Rong heavily. The materials for refining the Water Resonance Pill were costly, and if Blaze Regret wasted some of them, he would earn fewer gold coins.Upon hearing this, Patel Rong hesitated.


    Ever since he was injured by the fire snake, the Patel family''s financial situation had been in deficit. Refining a Water Resonance Pill would cost at least forty thousand gold coins, and after several previous ordeals, the Patel family''s situation was nearly unsustainable.


    "Patriarch Patel, I have at least an eighty percent chance of successfully refining the Water Resonance Pill." Blaze Regret''s expression remained calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice. The Ghostly Fragrant Grass was crucial to him, and he could not afford any mistakes. Start Megami''s repeated interference was wearing down his already limited patience.


    "80%." Patel Rong mulled over these words, his expression becoming extremely complex.


    "80% certainty? Even I wouldn''t dare claim such confidence. Truly boastful," Star Megami shook his head and sighed. "I really wonder who taught you this half baked alchemy. You haven''t learned much skill, but your arrogance is impressive. I feel sorry for your teacher."


    "Doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth," Swith Mark said disdainfully as he placed his teacup on the table.


    "Young friend, if you succeed in refining it, what reward do you seek?" Patel Rong finally spoke after struggling for a moment. Star Megami and Swith Mark''s expressions changed slightly.


    Is Patel Rong foolish? He actually wants to let this attention seeker try!


    "I heard that a year ago, you obtained a seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass," Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment before speaking candidly. Given the limited knowledge of second tier alchemists like Star Megami and Swith Mark, they might not even know about a rare pill like the Zhixin Dan.


    "Ghostly Fragrant Grass, what''s that?"


    Sure enough, Star Megami and Swith Mark frowned slightly. They had never even heard of this rare herb.


    "So you know about it. I didn''t expect anyone to recognize its existence," Patel Rong forced a smile, reaching inside his robe. A faint fragrance filled the hall as he revealed a pale blue seed.


    "It''s really the seed of Ghostly Fragrant Grass!" Blaze Regret clenched his fist in excitement, a relieved smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Finally, he had seen it!


    "Young friend, these seeds of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass are something I obtained from the Black Underworld Abyss. To get them, I had to battle a ninth tier high level Imperial grade Fire Refining Snake, which left me seriously injured. And now, to save my life, I have to give them up. Fate truly plays tricks on us," Patel Rong said with a difficult smile, his voice weak.


    "Master Patel, do you know what these seeds can be used for?" Blaze Regret asked, a glint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.


    "Of course I know. After this grass blooms, it can be refined by spirit beasts to enhance their strength. If luck is on their side, even a ninth tier Imperial Grade spirit beast has a chance to break through to the lord level. I assume this is why you came here," Patel Rong said confidently.


    "Master Patel, you are indeed insightful." Blaze Regret cupped his hands and smiled, a look of admiration on his face, though he was internally overjoyed.


    It seems very few people know the true function of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, let alone about the Zhixin Dan.


    "Enhance strength?" Star Megami and Swith Mark''s eyes lit up. The weakest aspect of an alchemist is the cultivation of spirit beasts. According to Patel Rong, the Ghostly Fragrant Grass can force a Imperial Grade spirit beast to break through to the lord level. Refining low tier spirit beasts with it would surely make them break through several tiers continuously.


    It''s well known that breaking through from Imperial to lord level is incredibly difficult.


    "Hehe, I originally planned to find a way to cultivate this seed, but now, without my life, strength is meaningless. If you can indeed refine the Water Resonance Pill, this seed will be yours," Patel Rong nodded slowly and then closed his eyes. Speaking so much had already drained his energy.


    "Master Blaze, these are the materials for refining the Water Resonance Pill," Patel Shin took three small boxes from a clansman and quickly walked to Blaze Regret, handing them over with both hands.


    "Phew~"


    Looking at the three spirit herbs flowing with a water like color, Blaze Regret took out a pill cauldron from his storage ring and exhaled softly. His thoughts gradually calmed down.


    "Sigh, we''re going to waste some more spirit herbs again," Star Megami shook his head in pain and sighed.


    "A frog at the bottom of a well won''t know the vastness of the sky unless it hits a wall," Swith Mark took out a book and immersed himself in it, not even bothering to look, as if he had already foreseen the outcome.


    "Begin!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly opened. With a gentle wave of his hand, a ball of pale yellow flame landed inside the pill cauldron and began to burn slowly. The scorching fire serpent licked the inner walls of the cauldron, causing the surrounding air to faintly steam.


    Seeing Blaze Regret start refining the pill, all the Patel family members around couldn''t help but hold their breath, their eyes filled with tension. To them, Patel Rong was the pillar of the Patel family. As long as he was there, the Patel family would not fall. But if Patel Rong were to perish, the Patel family''s status would become even more awkward than that of the Jack family.


    "Not bad, but still decades behind me," Star Megami half lay on a chair, a hint of disdain on his face as he commented.


    The hall was silent, with only the faint sound of the pale yellow flame burning. Blaze Regret kept his eyes tightly shut, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame.

 Chapter 233 Refining 2

    Different pills require different flames, and the Water Resonance Pill prefers a gentler flame. This is because the three herbs used to refine it are all water attributed. Too high a temperature would cause their medicinal properties to evaporate into the air."Water Cold Leaf," Blaze Regret muttered. With a flick of his hand, the leaf that resembled flowing water instantly shattered. Wrapped in the pale yellow flame, the entire leaf transformed into a drop of clear liquid, filling the room with a faint, refreshing coolness.


    "Go."


    At Blaze Regret''s command, the drop of clear liquid slowly fell into the pill cauldron. Instantly, a circle of clear light appeared around the cauldron, flickering and looking extremely beautiful. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So beautiful!" The female members of the Patel family, seeing this scene, had their eyes sparkling. The once tedious process of pill refining could indeed be so gorgeous.


    Moments later, Blaze Regret relaxed his hand. The second herb, Resonating Spirit Grass, was also placed inside. After melting, it quickly fused with the drop of liquid, and a rich medicinal fragrance continuously emanated from it.


    "Buzz!"


    A peculiar sound rang out as the light circle around the cauldron split into several more, intertwining and seemingly rotating slowly.


    "Just merging these two herbs took nearly half the time. No wonder the Water Resonance Pill is so difficult to refine."


    In Blaze Regret''s dark eyes, the pale yellow flame flickered gently. With another wave of his hand, a cyan blue bead hovered above the cauldron, enveloping it in a faint blue spiritual energy.


    "This Water Life Pearl should be placed inside the pill cauldron. Why is he using it this way?" Star Megami''s thoughts raced. No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn''t fathom Blaze Regret''s reasoning behind this action.


    "Hmm?" Patel Rong''s aged eyes slightly opened. Seeing the Water Life Pearl emitting spiritual energy, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Previously, during Star Megami and the others'' pill refining, there was no such step. Could it be that this young man really knows how to refine the Water Resonance Pill?


    Thinking of this, Patel Rong''s withered hand began to tremble faintly. If Blaze Regret could truly refine the Water Resonance Pill and neutralize the snake venom from the Fire refined Serpent, he would be willing to sacrifice all of the Patel family''s wealth.


    Wealth can always be earned again, but once a life is lost, everything ends.


    "Fortunately, the Medicine Emperor''s Seed contains detailed instructions for refining this pill. Otherwise, even a third grade alchemist would likely ruin it."


    Blaze Regret sighed lightly in his heart. With a slight exertion of his hand, the Water Life Pearl''s mist spraying speed increased significantly.


    The Water Life Pearl is the most crucial part of the Water Life Tree. Once the tree matures, all of its essence flows into the Water Life Pearl, causing the tree itself to rapidly wither. This makes the water attributed energy within the Water Life Pearl exceptionally pure, though it is also quite expensive.


    Time swiftly passed. The radiance of the Water Life Pearl quickly dimmed, and cracks began to appear on its surface. The crisp sound of shattering startled Swith Mark, who had been focused on his work.


    "What''s happening?" Swith Mark asked with a frown.


    "It must have failed," Star Megami said, somewhat uncertain. But seeing Blaze Regret''s calm demeanor, an unsettling feeling crept into his heart, as if today''s events were not unfolding as he had anticipated.


    "It mustn''t succeed. Otherwise, that Patel Shin will get an easy ride." Unlike the other Patel family members who were praying, Patel kin was maliciously cursing in his heart, completely disregarding Patel Rong''s life.


    However, as time went on, a perfectly round, cyan blue pill finally took shape. At the moment the Water Life Pearl completely shattered, it popped out of the cauldron with a sound and was caught by Blaze Regret.


    Success!


    Patel Rong''s eyes trembled, and the Patel family members burst into excited cheers. Only Patel kin clenched his teeth in frustration, his face full of unwillingness.


    "Refine what? Do you think this is child''s play? Patriarch Patel, don''t listen to his nonsense. I have a prescription for a clear water solution here. Once I prepare it for you, using this solution will cleanse you and remove most of the fire snake''s venom." Start Megami quickly interjected.


    The clear crystal Water Resonance Pill lay quietly in Blaze Regret''s palm. Several faint blue water rings appeared around the pill and gradually faded away as the pill''s fragrance spread.


    "This kid, how could he possibly refine a Water Resonance Pill!" Star Megami gritted his teeth, feeling almost suffocated as he looked at the flawless Water Resonance Pill.


    Swith Mark was also stunned, feeling as if he had been slapped hard across the face, his cheeks burning with pain. The book in his hand slipped to the ground, and he didn''t even react.


    "Patel Shin, help me give this pill to the head of the Patel family," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Patel Shin hurriedly took the Water Resonance Pill and handed it to Patel Rong, his eyes full of excitement.


    In the Patel family, his status was extremely low, so his cultivation resources were very scarce. Until now, he was only a third tier warrior grade, which was nothing in Patel Rong''s eyes. If it weren''t for finding Blaze Regret, the alchemist, he wouldn''t even have the luxury of meeting Patel Rong.


    Patel Rong''s hand trembled as he tried to grasp the Water Resonance Pill, but he couldn''t hold it up. He lowered his arm and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, you help me."


    Hearing this, Patel Shin quickly raised his hand and carefully placed the pill into Patel Rong''s mouth.


    Patel Rong closed his eyes, his throat moved, and the Water Resonance Pill fell into his stomach. A cool sensation quickly spread throughout his body, a feeling of comfort he had never experienced before.


    "Buzz!"

 Chapter 234 Success

    As the Water Resonance Pill was gradually refined, several faint blue streams of light flashed around Patel Rong, circulating at a very slow speed. After a while, those streams of light were actually mixed with some fiery red colors."It actually works!"


    Seeing this, Star Megami and Swith Mark stood up with ugly expressions. They cupped their hands toward Patel Rong and then left the Patel family in a hurry, looking like two defeated dogs.


    At this moment, they no longer had the face to stay in the Patel family any longer. The disdainful glances from the Patel family members seemed as if they could pierce right through them.


    The Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder yawned lightly, then squinted its eyes again, smacking its lips comfortably.


    Blaze Regret glanced around, and Patel Shin quickly moved a chair behind him.


    "Thank you," Blaze Regret said with a smile and nodded.


    "It''s my duty, it''s my duty," Patel Shin replied with an awkward smile. Although he hadn''t held much hope for Blaze Regret''s ability to refine the Water Resonance Pill initially, he now understood that his future status in the Patel family depended entirely on this young man.


    "Come out!"


    Sitting in the chair, Patel Rong''s face turned fierce. His withered hand suddenly clenched into a grip like a sharp eagle''s claw. Between the claws, a fiery red ball of impurities rapidly grew larger.


    Patel Rong''s eyes snapped open, and with a wave of his hand, the fiery red ball of impurities turned into a stream of light and embedded itself into the wooden pillar on the right side of the hall with a ''pa'' sound.


    "So comfortable, so very comfortable!" Patel Rong looked at his hand, which had regained some color, and laughed heartily. For a year, he had endured the torment of the fire refining snake venom, and now he felt a sudden sense of rebirth.


    Seeing this scene, the Patel family members in the hall were all excited, and their grateful eyes were all directed at the young man in the black robe.


    Of course, there were exceptions.


    Patel Kin lowered his head and bit his teeth hard. He knew that he had missed the greatest opportunity of his life.


    "Fifth tier spirit Imperial master," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile. Although Patel Rong''s strength had not fully recovered, his current aura was already comparable to that of a fifth tier spirit Imperial master. In just half a month, he would return to his peak.


    An eighth tier spirit Imperial Master is among the top ranks in the entire Bloodstone Pass.


    "My young friend, as promised, this seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass is yours," Patel Rong said with a light chuckle, flicking his sleeve to send a faint blue light towards Blaze Regret.


    Holding the seed in his hand, Blaze Regret was slightly surprised that Patel Rong handed it over so readily. With a little cultivation, once the Ghostly Fragrant Grass blooms, it could help him at least break through to a ninth tier spirit Imperial Master!


    However, Blaze Regret quickly understood. Perhaps the Ghostly Fragrant Grass was a rare treasure in his eyes, but in Patel Rong''s mind, it might not be worth damaging his relationship with a second tier alchemist.


    "My young friend, I don''t recall hearing about you in Bloodstone Pass before," Patel Rong said, looking at Blaze Regret with a slightly puzzled expression. Such a young second tier alchemist would cause quite a stir even in the central empire, let alone in Bloodstone Pass.

    "Hehe, Master Patel, I am merely passing through on my travels," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    Hearing this, Patel Rong felt a bit regretful. If Blaze Regret could stay in Bloodstone Pass, given today''s events and with a good relationship, the Patel family would enjoy endless benefits.


    "Master Patel, perhaps we will have opportunities to collaborate in the future," Blaze Regret suddenly thought. The Patel family was the second most powerful force in Bloodstone Pass, just behind the Bloodprint Sect. The Blaze family''s business dealings also involved the Patel family; if they cooperated, the Blaze family could dominate the spirit beast market in Bloodstone Pass.


    The Blood Seal Sect primarily dealt with spirit herbs and medicinal materials, which didn''t conflict with spirit beast trading. Therefore, with the Patel family''s support, the Blaze family could thrive in Bloodstone Pass.


    "Oh? Then I''ll be waiting," Patel Rong replied with a faint smile. Given Blaze Regret''s talent, he was bound to become a third tier alchemist, possibly even a fourth or fifth tier. By then, even some major families in the central empire would likely set aside their pride to associate with him. This way, the Patel family had indeed struck a great deal.


    "By the way, if the Patel family needs anything in the future, feel free to contact me directly," Blaze Regret said, beckoning to Patel Shin. The latter was slightly stunned but quickly walked over.


    "Bring the Sound Transmission Conch," Blaze Regret instructed, taking out the conch from his void realms stone. A drop of liquid, as precious as a pearl, was poured into his palm.


    Patel Shin''s face flushed with excitement as he raised the Sound Transmission Conch slightly. With the infusion of spiritual power, the pearl like liquid swiftly flew over with a "whoosh" sound. In an instant, a faint and indistinct aura connected the two conches, then quickly dissipated.


    Seeing this, Patel Rong squinted slightly. It seemed that Blaze Regret had quite a favorable impression of Patel Shin; otherwise, he wouldn''t have taken such an action. In the future, if he wanted to contact Blaze Regret, he would have to go through Patel Shin, as only Patel Shin''s conch contained Blaze Regret''s communication imprint.

    "Patel Li, Patel Shin''s talent is unique in our Patel family. We need to focus on cultivating him from now on," Patel Rong turned and said with a faint smile to an elder clansman.


    "I understand," the elder named Patel Li nodded solemnly. If he lacked even this basic insight, he wouldn''t hold an important position in the Patel family.

 Chapter 235 Information

    On one side of the hall, Patel Kin looked despondent. This treatment should have been his, but he had pushed it away with his own hands, leaving Patel Shin to reap the benefits."Thank you, Master!" Patel Shin said joyfully, cupping his hands in salute. He knew that this day would mark a new beginning in his life.


    And it was all thanks to the black robed young man.


    "Master Patel, there are some things I wish to inquire about. Would it be convenient?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile, looking at Patel Rong.


    A hint of confusion flashed in Patel Rong''s eyes, but he waved his hand, and instantly, all the Patel family members in the hall left, leaving only Patel Rong and Blaze Regret.


    Stay tuned with empire


    "You want to ask about the Dark Abyss, don''t you?" Patel Rong said slowly.


    "That''s right. As far as I know, where there is the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, there must be a Netherworld Essense accompanying it. I wonder if that Netherworld Essense is in your possession?" Blaze Regret asked expectantly.


    "Netherworld Essense?" Patel Rong touched his chin and thought for a moment before gently shaking his head. "If that spiritual herb is called the Netherworld Essense, I believe it is currently in the hands of the Stun Family. Back then, seven factions ventured into the Dark Abyss together, but only the Blood Seal Gate, the Jack family, the Patel family, and the Stun Family emerged alive."


    "The Stun Family?" Blaze Regret furrowed his brows tightly.


    "That''s right. At that time, the master of the Blood Seal Gate obtained a rare spirit beast in the Dark Abyss and was the first to leave. The Jack family suffered great losses and likely did not have the strength to harvest the spiritual herbs. Thus, the Stun Family is the most logical candidate," Patel Rong explained.


    "Is the Dark Abyss very dangerous?" Blaze Regret asked curiously again.


    "Hehe, let me put it this way. During the Blood Stone Pass, there were eight factions, seven of which entered the Dark Abyss. Since then, three factions have completely disappeared from the Blood Stone Pass. Apart from the Blood Seal Gate, the remaining factions all suffered varying degrees of losses," Patel Rong sighed with a sense of regret.


    "And the eighth faction?" Blaze Regret asked, rubbing his face.


    "The remaining faction was the Walker family. Because they offended the Blood Seal Gate, their master, Walker Sub, was killed that night. Now, the Walker family''s status is barely above the Jack family''s. Of course, if you hadn''t appeared today, my Patel family would probably be at the bottom," Patel Rong said, his voice tinged with gratitude.


    Blaze Regret nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flashing slightly. It seemed that if he wanted to find the Ghost Face Stigma, the Stun Family was his only lead. He just didn''t know what conditions they would set. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Young friend, you aren''t thinking of venturing into the Dark Abyss, are you?" Patel Rong''s face slightly changed as if he had suddenly thought of something, and his tone was rather tense.


    "I don''t have such plans for now, but maybe in the future," Blaze Regret nodded.


    "You mustn''t! Although your strength isn''t weak in the Blood Stone Pass, the Dark Abyss is home to many lord level spirit beasts, and there are many eerie places. A single misstep could lead to your demise," Patel Rong shook his head repeatedly without a second thought.


    He had just managed to befriend a second grade alchemist; naturally, he didn''t want to see Blaze Regret throw his life away.


    "It''s just a thought for now. I won''t venture down there recklessly without being fully prepared."


    Blaze Regret stood up, cupped his hands in a salute to Patel Rong, and smiled, "No need to see me off, Master Patel. Farewell."


    Patel Rong''s lips moved slightly as he watched Blaze Regret''s departing figure, but he could only sigh helplessly. He hoped that the young man really was just thinking about it, as the horrors of the Dark Abyss were far beyond his imagination.


    "Blood Seal Gate, Patel family, Jack family, Stun Family, Walker family."


    As Blaze Regret walked out of the Patel family gate, the names of these factions kept alternating in his mind. In the entire Blood Stone Pass, these were the powers that could be considered noteworthy. Among them, the Blood Seal Gate was undoubtedly the strongest, while the Jack family was likely the weakest.


    As for the Stun Family and the Walker family, he had not yet had any contact with them. The vastness of the Blood Stone Pass far surpassed that of Velorian City, and each faction maintained a respectful distance from one another. Thus, Blaze Regret hadn''t heard of any major incidents happening so far.


    "Roar!"


    The Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder rubbed its sleepy eyes and instantly became extremely spirited.


    "After resting for the night, there''s no slacking off today," Blaze Regret chuckled, pinching the Red''s ears. He then retrieved a map from the void realm stone, which marked all the regions of the Blood Stone Pass.


    Looking at a mountain like mark on the map, Blaze Regret nodded slightly. With a flick of his right hand, the map rolled up into a scroll, which he then tossed back into the void realm stone.


    "Tonight, I''ll spend the night at Bloodstone Mountain," Blaze Regret whispered, his figure swiftly disappearing from the street.


    Unlike Velorian City, the Bloodstone Pass was entirely an unorganized area, with not even the most basic city walls constructed around it. Instead, it was surrounded by pitch black mountain ranges, and even at night, the faint roars of spirit beasts could be heard within the town.


    Standing at the edge of the mountains, Blaze Regret looked at the white powder on the ground with some curiosity. The powder formed a ring like boundary, separating the interior of the Bloodstone Pass from the mountains.


    "Repellent Powder?"


    Picking up a bit of the powder, Blaze Regret sniffed it lightly under his nose and immediately understood.

    Repellent Powder is derived from the Repellent Flower, and all spirit beasts find its scent extremely repulsive. Just a whiff would make them avoid it from a distance. Seeing the distressed look on the Red''s face, it was clear how unbearable the scent was for it.With a faint smile, Blaze Regret walked into the mountains. No wonder the Bloodstone Pass, surrounded by mountains, remained undisturbed it was the effect of this Repellent Powder.


    Taking in the familiar scent of the trees, Blaze Regret inhaled a deep breath of pure air. Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound of something cutting through the air quickly approached from behind.


    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret stomped on the ground and retreated rapidly. Sharp leaves embedded themselves in the ground, spreading towards where Blaze Regret had been standing.


    Coming to a halt, Blaze Regret raised his face, his eyes cold as he looked into the distance. The last leaf landed just in front of his toes.


    "Little brother, we meet again."


    Floating in mid air, Star Megami looked at Blaze Regret with a smile. Beneath him was a thick branch, and at the other end of the branch was a robust spirit tree. It was evident that this was Star Megami''s spirit beast, the Demon Spirit Tree.


    Lightly pursing his lips, a glint of coldness flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. This old man, Star Megami, had troubled him several times at the Patel family, and now he dared to show up again.


    "Little brother, I admit your alchemy skills are impressive, but your strength may not match your alchemy prowess. Hand over the seeds of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, and today, you may live," Star Megami said indifferently, his tone filled with arrogance.


    "With just your strength as a third tier Spirit Imperial Master?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly.


    Not to mention a third tier Spirit Imperial Master, even a sixth tier Spirit Imperial Master wouldn''t have the right to be arrogant in front of him now. After all, the power of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros was something even some sixth tier spirit Imperial beasts could hardly withstand.


    "So, it seems you are unwilling?"


    Star Megami''s figure moved, descending from the branch of the Demon Spirit Tree to the ground. A trace of cold murderous intent appeared on his old face. "Since that''s the case, don''t blame this old man for being ruthless. Besides, it''s about time we settled the score with the Patel family."


    Just as Star Megami''s cold voice fell, the demon spirit tree began to move, its dense roots writhing and spreading out. Branches extended, instantly growing to a length of tens of meters, and shot towards Red like a violent storm.


    The tips of the branches glowed with an extremely sharp luster, resembling dazzling cold stars.


    "Swoosh!"


    With a light push of its foot, Red leaped off Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Its body spun, and a pale yellow whirlwind of flames roared around it, shredding the incoming branches into pieces of charred wood.


    "A second rank high level Imperial grade spirit beast!" Upon witnessing this, Star Megami''s expression turned grim. He had thought that, given Blaze Regret''s age, Blaze Regret would at most be a spirit warrior grade. Who could have imagined that Blaze Regret not only possessed extraordinary alchemical skills but also formidable strength?


    "Red, finish it off," Blaze Regret said calmly, clearly not intending to waste time with Star Megami.


    "Arrogant!" Star Megami''s anger surged upon hearing this. After all, he was a third rank spirit Imperial master, yet Blaze Regret treated him as if he were conversing with an ant.


    "Demon Spirit Tree, Thousand Leaf Storm!"


    Star Megami''s angry voice echoed. The enormous body of the demon spirit tree trembled, and a large number of leaves detached from its branches, floating in mid air. They then shot down towards Red like a fierce storm.


    With a slight step forward, Red suddenly charged, the pale yellow flames on its body causing the sharp leaves to curl up, turning black and eventually disintegrating into ashes. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What kind of flame is this? Why is it so overpowering?" Star Megami''s withered hand trembled, and a look of regret appeared on his face. Wood type spirit beasts were inherently weak against fire type spirit beasts, especially when their strengths were comparable.


    "Howl!"


    With a crisp low cry, Red swiftly darted out from the sea of leaves. A pale yellow flame flickered in its eyes, and then two scorching beams of fire shot out, piercing through the body of the demon spirit tree.


    The demon spirit tree stood there, motionless. Through the two transparent holes in its body, one could even see Star Megami''s horrified face.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of something hard shattering echoed through the air. The spirit core of the demon spirit tree had broken with a crisp crack. It was evident that Red had precisely targeted the spirit core. The body of the demon spirit tree seemed as fragile as paper before Red''s ferocious flames.


    With his arms crossed over his chest, Blaze Regret leaned against the trunk of an ancient tree, a faint cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth. The elemental advantage of fire over wood was overwhelming. The demon spirit tree, being only a mid tier third rank Imperial grade spirit beast, was no match for Red. Even if it were a sixth rank beast, it would still be easily defeated by Red.


    It''s important not to forget that Red was a high tier Imperial grade spirit beast. This rank advantage gave it a significant edge over mid tier Imperial grade spirit beasts.


    Moreover, the suppression in spiritual techniques granted Red the ability to challenge and defeat higher ranked opponents.


    Although the demon spirit tree was dead, its body still stood tall. Red walked past it slowly, its emotionless eyes coldly fixed on Star Megami.


    "Spare me! I have three second grade alchemical recipes here. I''ll give them all to you!" Star Megami shouted, a bone chilling fear surging from his heart as Red approached him ever closer.

 Chapter 237 Beacon Fire Tiger

    "Kill," Blaze Regret said flatly, not even glancing at Star Megami.Raising its claws, Red bent its body slightly, and then leaped into the air. A fierce gust of wind mercilessly swept towards Star Megami''s throat.


    "Whoosh!"


    A somewhat blinding sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came from above. Red''s pupils contracted sharply, and its body twisted mid air. A scorching trail of fire grazed its body and plunged fiercely into the ground.


    Landing on the ground, Red''s gaze turned icy as it stared at a figure not far away. It was a fire Tiger, but it stood upright like a human, with crimson flames burning rapidly on its shoulders.


    Pulling its paw out of the ground, the fire Tiger slowly straightened up and nonchalantly brushed the dirt off its paw, not paying any attention to the others present. Its demeanor was rather cold and detached.


    "Beacon Fire Tiger?" Blaze Regret''s gaze finally turned serious. This suddenly appearing spirit beast possessed the strength of a high tier fifth rank Imperial grade, which meant its master must be a significant figure in Bloodstone Pass.


    "Tsk tsk, old friend Star Megami, I''ve told you not to be so hasty. This kid is not as easy to deal with as you might think."


    From within the woods, an elderly figure with hands clasped behind his back walked out with a smile on his face. It was none other than Swith Mark.


    "A fifth rank spirit Imperial master," a glint of sharpness flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. When he had encountered Swith Mark at the Patel family, Swith Mark hadn''t seemed much stronger than Star Megami. Now it was clear that Swith Mark had been concealing his true strength.


    However, Blaze Regret had inquired about the powerful figures in Bloodstone Pass just the day before, and Swith Mark''s name had not come up.


    "You finally came. This kid killed my demon spirit tree. Hurry up and slaughter him!" Star Megami turned his head, his gaze towards Blaze Regret filled with malice, and his tone became exceedingly arrogant, bolstered by Swith Mark''s support.


    "A Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat quite a remarkable spirit beast," Swith Mark remarked with a hint of amusement as he walked over to the Beacon Fire Tiger. His voice carried a playful undertone.


    In truth, Swith Mark had arrived before the battle between Red and the demon spirit tree had even begun. He had simply refrained from intervening until he had assessed Blaze Regret''s true strength. Now, seeing Blaze Regret''s capabilities, he felt assured enough to reveal himself. A second rank spirit Imperial master posed no threat to his fifth rank Spirit Imperial master power.


    "If it were anyone else, I might let them go after taking their belongings. But not you. I had planned for so long, intending to add something to the medicinal liquid to get rid of that old man Patel Rong. But you disrupted my plans," Swith Mark said, his gaze growing colder and a strong killing intent emerging in his eyes.


    "Well, I''m honored," Blaze Regret replied with a calm smile, his expression as composed as ever.


    "Courting death!" At Blaze Regret''s nonchalant demeanor, a surge of fury rose in Swith Mark''s eyes, and his cold shout echoed through the forest.


    "Beacon Fire Tiger, kill him for me!"


    Hearing the command, the Beacon Fire Tiger finally lifted its face. Its claws, as sharp as steel, shot out from between its fingers with a sudden snap, emitting a cold gleam that made Red squint slightly.


    "Howl!"


    With a slight shudder, Red let out a low growl. Three pale yellow streams of flame swiftly circled its body. The leaves above it caught fire with a whoosh, and the scattered leaves around it were swept away by the sudden surge of Red''s aura.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense.


    With a calm gaze, he looked at Red. The Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws clenched slightly, and a violent burst of scorching spiritual power erupted, rippling outwards in waves.


    "Bang!"


    With a heavy stomp, accompanied by a loud explosion, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s figure flashed and appeared in front of Red. Its sharp claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind, slashed down towards Red.


    Feeling the force of the wind above, Red''s eyes grew slightly serious. It raised its claws and collided fiercely with the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws. Sparks flew, and the screeching sound of metal against metal echoed through the forest, making one''s scalp tingle.


    "Howl!"


    Red''s foot stepped to the right, causing the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws to miss. Red then swiftly retreated, and two pale yellow beams of flame shot out from its eyes, cutting through the air and blasting towards the Beacon Fire Tiger.


    Seeing the lightning fast attack, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s expression remained calm. It crossed its claws, letting the scorching flame beams hit them squarely.


    "Bang!"


    The crossed claws collided with the flame beams. In front of the Beacon Fire Tiger, rings of tangible pale yellow energy spread outwards. Meanwhile, its body was forced to retreat wildly, its toes digging into the ground and leaving long cracks.


    Shaking its head, Red''s eyes regained clarity. Looking at the Beacon Fire Tiger, which was gently shaking its claws, its expression turned exceptionally stern. The gap in their ranks meant it couldn''t inflict significant damage on the Beacon Fire Tiger. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Not bad with the spiritual technique. Now it''s my turn."


    Swith Mark smiled coldly. "Beacon Fire Tiger, use the Scorching Claw to tear that Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat apart."


    Nodding slightly, the Beacon Fire Tiger flicked its wrist, and crimson flames quickly coiled around its sharp claws. With a sudden swing, the air in front of it was torn apart by three fiery red streaks.


    A scorching gust of wind rushed forward. Seeing the Beacon Fire Tiger''s terrifying strike, Red advanced instead of retreating. Stepping on a protruding rock, it leaped high into the air. In its pupils, a barely noticeable flame quietly appeared.

 Chapter 238 Beacon Fire Tiger 2

    In an instant, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws froze in mid air, its eyes filled with confusion. Seizing the opportunity, Red struck its right eye with a fierce claw."Roar!"


    The pain radiating from its face snapped the Beacon Fire Tiger back to reality. Its right eye, now bloodshot, drove it into a frenzy. Its furious howl caused some nearby spiritual beasts to tremble in fear.


    "Damn it," Swith Mark''s eyes flashed with cold light. He hadn''t expected that Blaze Regret''s Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat had a spiritual technique capable of inducing illusions in spiritual beasts, causing his Beacon Fire Tiger to suffer such severe injuries.


    However, as an alchemist, he was confident in his ability to heal such wounds. Quickly calming his mind, Swith Mark''s icy voice rang out.


    "Use the Hell Flame Pillar to force that Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat back."


    Hearing this, the Beacon Fire Tiger stomped on the ground, and three crimson flames surged upwards, rapidly spiraling into three towering fire pillars, emitting an intense heat.


    With a wave of its claws, the three fire pillars roared forward, skimming the ground and leaving afterimages in their wake. Moments later, they surrounded Red and crashed into it.


    Seeing no way to escape, Red''s eyes slowly closed. A blazing sun mark appeared in the center of its forehead, emitting a burst of intense light that enveloped it, forming a solid light shield.


    Seeing this, Swith Mark''s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Although in his perception it wasn''t any specific spiritual technique, the level of defense was already comparable to some high level Imperial grade spiritual techniques.


    Blaze Regret watched calmly. Ever since Red reached the novice grade, it had been able to condense flames into a light shield, enduring a direct hit from the Ghost faced Flower. Since breaking through to the Imperial Grade, Red''s mastery of this technique had become even more refined, allowing it to release the shield autonomously.


    "Boom!"


    The flame pillar collided with the pale yellow light shield, causing a violent shockwave that swept outward. The surrounding trees snapped in half, falling limply to the ground.


    The light pillar shattered, and cracks rapidly spread across the light shield surrounding Red. In an instant, the entire shield was covered in fissures before bursting apart with a loud bang, scattering into countless light fragments.


    "Impressive," Swith Mark''s face darkened slightly. He had thought that this move would be enough to kill Red on the spot, but the latter''s endless array of spiritual techniques continuously challenged the dignity of his fifth tier Spirit Imperial Master status.


    Especially considering both sides were fire element spirit master.


    "If that''s the case, let''s try this move."


    A sinister smile appeared on Swith Mark''s lips. "Beacon Fire Tiger, Flame Spiral Thrust!"


    With his arm extended, the Beacon Fire Tiger coldly stared ahead. Its claws stirred slightly, causing crimson flames to coil around them, forming a wide spiral flame spike as they rotated.


    The tip of the spiral flame spike, resembling a sharp drill bit, spun rapidly, producing a piercing sound that echoed constantly.


    With a slight backward stretch of its arm, the Beacon Fire Tiger suddenly thrust its claw forward. The crimson spiral flame spike detached from its claw, whirling furiously towards Red.


    Taking a deep breath, Red spread its claws, and three flame spikes rings appeared in mid air. With a flash of pale yellow light, a fourth flame spikes ring condensed, rotating slowly but shining brighter than the first three.


    Clapping its claws together, Red fused the four sharp flame spikes rings into a single, three foot wide light wheel. With a humming sound, the light wheel shot out, rapidly meeting the spiraling flame spike head on.


    "Bang!"


    Under several tense gazes, the light wheel formed from the four flame spikes rings collided heavily with the fierce spiraling flame spike. A powerful wave of spiritual energy swept out from the impact. Find your next read on empire


    At the point of collision, the entire ground caved in, and as the dust settled, Red suddenly shot out, darting around the Beacon Fire Tiger with lightning speed.


    "Buzz!"


    As Red flashed swiftly, several dazzling flame crystal pillars appeared around the Beacon Fire Tiger, and with a swish, they stabbed down fiercely.


    Driving Red back with a swipe, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s body spun rapidly. Its wildly swinging claws created a web of blades, shredding the sharp flame crystal pillars into fragments.


    Panting heavily, the Beacon Fire Tiger looked at the nearly exhausted Red, its sharp claws twitching slightly.


    "What other tricks do you have?" Swith Mark looked at Blaze Regret, a provocative smirk on his lips. Even at the same level, the Beacon Fire Tiger was not inferior to the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, and his Beacon Fire Tiger was two tiers higher.


    "It is indeed troublesome," Blaze Regret sighed softly. Red''s spiritual techniques were strong, but so were the Beacon Fire Tiger''s. A fifth tier Beacon Fire Tiger likely had even more terrifying techniques yet to be used.


    "In that case, let me introduce you to a new friend."


    Gently placing the weakened Red on his shoulder, Blaze Regret quickly formed hand seals. The faint smile at the corner of his mouth made Swith Mark''s heart skip a beat.


    A silver summoning array quickly sketched itself in the air. Moments later, a powerful paw slowly stepped out from it, followed by a figure clad in what seemed to be full silver armor, appearing in the forest.


    Lifting its head, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros looked at the Beacon Fire Tiger, a faint smile curving its lips.


    "A Tier Five Imperial grade Spirit Beast!" Swith Mark''s eyelid twitched violently, and a shiver ran through his body. Isn''t this kid a Tier Two Spirit Imperial Master? How could he have a Tier Five Imperial grade Spirit Beast!


    Typically, a Spirit Master''s strength is equivalent to their spirit beast''s tier, as the capacity of the Spirit portal determines that it can only accommodate spirit beasts of the same tier. Trying to tame a higher tier beast usually results in the Spirit portal shattering. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 239 Beacon Fire Tiger 3

    What Swith Mark didn''t know was that Blaze Regret''s spiritual power had always been higher than that of his peers. Three years of accumulation had laid a foundation that others could hardly match."Rock attribute? This kid is a dual source Spirit Master!" Star Megami trembled all over. If it were any other attribute, it would be manageable, but rock type spirit beasts restrain fire type ones. Unless something unexpected happens, the Beacon Fire Tiger would surely die today.


    Without thinking, Star Megami''s feet moved backward, and taking advantage of Blaze Regret and Swith Mark''s distraction, he turned and slipped into the forest. At this point, escaping was the most sensible choice.


    "Heh, so what if it''s a rock type spirit beast? It''s not like I haven''t killed one before."


    Swith Mark steadied his mind and said forcefully, "Beacon Fire Tiger, charge and kill him directly!" Your journey continues on empire


    With a sudden vicious gleam in its eyes, the Beacon Fire Tiger darted forward like lightning. Its claws drew three fiery arcs in the air, slashing towards the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros'' face.


    "Bang!"


    However, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros merely lifted its hand indifferently, and the charging Beacon Fire Tiger was sent flying backward, sliding tens of meters before stabilizing itself.


    Having been repelled effortlessly, madness surged in the Beacon Fire Tiger''s eyes. It darted forward again, its claws swinging rapidly, creating afterimages as it aimed at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros'' vital points.


    Even though the Beacon Fire Tiger''s attacks were frenzied, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros remained as steadfast as a boulder, standing there quietly. Each time it swung its palm, the Beacon Fire Tiger was instantly sent flying back, as effortlessly as swatting a fly.


    As the Beacon Fire Tiger continued its relentless assaults, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros finally showed a hint of impatience in its eyes. With a large hand, it grasped the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws, squeezing slightly downward. The Beacon Fire Tiger was forced to its knees with a resounding crash, cracks spreading from beneath its knees.


    "Damn it!" Swith Mark''s breathing became rapid, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He knew very well what awaited him if the Beacon Fire Tiger were killed.


    "Howl!"


    Kneeling in an utterly humiliating posture, the Beacon Fire Tiger let out an angry roar. A scorching aura burst forth from its body, and at that moment, its strength surged to Tier Six Imperial grade!


    "A breakthrough?" Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting the Beacon Fire Tiger to break through under such circumstances.


    "Haha, the heavens haven''t forsaken me! Kid, your luck is really not that good!" Swith Mark was momentarily stunned, then burst into wild laughter, feeling a wave of relief and exhilaration.


    "Swish!"


    With a swift motion, the Beacon Fire Tiger withdrew its claws and retreated rapidly, fixing a deadly stare on the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros. The killing intent in its eyes was almost tangible.


    Facing the Beacon Fire Tiger''s intense killing intent, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros merely raised its palm slowly and beckoned lightly, as if to say that the Beacon Fire Tiger before and after the breakthrough was no different.


    Gritting its teeth, the Beacon Fire Tiger crossed its claws over its chest. A fierce blaze erupted, rapidly condensing in front of its paws. The temperature in the area soared dramatically.


    "Swish!"


    With a swift motion of its claws, the Beacon Fire Tiger unleashed two massive, crimson beams of fire that intersected and surged forward violently, the sound of blazing flames echoing through the mountains and forests.


    This was a high level Imperial tier spirit technique: Blazing Burst Claw!


    Watching the intersecting beams of fire, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fist tightly before swinging it fiercely, striking the incoming flames. Instantly, a deep explosion resounded throughout the entire mountain range.


    "Boom!"


    After a brief moment of silence, a fierce shockwave erupted, rapidly sweeping across the area. Trees within a ten meter radius were instantly demolished, their trunks snapping and falling to the ground, while countless dry branches and leaves scattered into the air.


    As the wind dissipated, the sturdy figure of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros emerged. It calmly flexed its palm, producing cracking sounds, and its silver armor remained as bright as ever.


    Swallowing hard, Swith Mark''s face was drenched in sweat. The Beacon Fire Tiger''s strongest attack hadn''t left a single mark on the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros!


    Seeing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s indifferent demeanor, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s eyes sharpened. It leaped into the air, with blazing flames igniting beneath its right foot. Its entire body then shot downward like a meteor, tearing through the air towards the silver figure below.


    The Beacon Fire Tiger''s speed was incredibly swift, leaving a trail of fiery light in its wake.


    A spirit technique: Sky Shattering Step!


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros slightly lifted its eyelids, watching the Beacon Fire Tiger''s ferocious kick. It calmly raised its palm and, with a sudden twist, caught the Beacon Fire Tiger''s ankle firmly in its grasp.

    The Beacon Fire Tiger''s pupils constricted instantly.


    "Boom!"


    With a swift motion, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros swung its arm, slamming the Beacon Fire Tiger''s body heavily onto the ground. A web of cracks instantly appeared beneath it. Without pause, it lifted the Beacon Fire Tiger high and hurled it in another direction with lightning speed.


    For a moment, the entire forest echoed with the repeated thuds of a heavy object hitting the ground, causing the earth to tremble continuously.


    Watching the Beacon Fire Tiger being tossed around like a ragdoll, Swith Mark''s eyes trembled. His regret now was no less than Star Megami''s earlier. If he could do it over again, he would rather have never stepped into the Patel family''s gate today.


    After glancing at the lifeless Beacon Fire Tiger, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros disdainfully flicked its hand, and the Beacon Fire Tiger''s body fell to the ground, rolling a few times before coming to a powerless stop.

 Chapter 240 Black Nether Qi

    Turning around, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros silently looked at Blaze Regret, as if it were not it true Spirit Master.With a helpless shrug, Blaze Regret opened his palm, and a silver spirit portal materialized, drawing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros back in.


    Seizing the moment while Blaze Regret was retrieving the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Swith Mark turned and ran desperately. But in the next instant, a gleaming ice blade pierced through his chest, embedding itself into a tree trunk with traces of blood.


    "If you want to take someone else''s life, you must be prepared to lose your own."


    Blaze Regret clapped his hands, and his calm voice echoed quietly through the forest.


    In the silent mountains, towering trees stretched their dense branches and leaves, resembling giant green umbrellas. Beneath one of these umbrellas, a panicked figure hurriedly dashed forward, the fear of a narrow escape still etched on his face.


    "Damn it, that little brat is only a second tier spirit Imperial master, yet he possesses a fifth tier high ranking Imperial grade spirit beast. If not for that, he would have already died at Swith Mark''s hands, and I wouldn''t be in such a sorry state."


    A low, vicious curse repeatedly emanated from Star Megami''s mouth, filled with intense killing intent that sent chills down one''s spine.


    "However, your triumph will only last a few days. I have always been on good terms with the Blood Seal Sect''s leader. As soon as I reach a range where I can use the Sound Transmitting Conch, I will make your life a living hell!" Star Megami''s eyes were filled with venomous hatred.


    "Swish!"


    Just as Star Megami''s harsh voice fell, a pale yellow figure suddenly leaped out from the dense forest. With a slight twist of its body, its threr tail, as sharp as a blade, mercilessly slashed across Star Megami''s throat.


    As his body gradually came to a halt, Star Megami looked at the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat crouching in front of him. His face turned ashen as he opened his mouth, and a jet of blood suddenly spurted out, staining the ground red. His body collapsed weakly onto the ground.


    Shaking its furry little ears, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, Red, walked out slowly, picked up Star Megami''s void realms stone with its mouth, and instantly vanished from the scene.


    As Red departed, several spiritual beasts that had been waiting approached with ferocious eyes. Their bloody mouths opened, emitting a foul stench as they viciously tore into the dying Star Megami.


    With his face pressed tightly against the ground, Star Megami struggled to open his mouth but couldn''t make a sound. His eyes, gradually losing their vitality, were filled with terror.


    "This Swith Mark really had quite a fortune."


    Scanning the void realms stone in his hand with his spiritual sense, Blaze Regret gave a faint smile. He then bent down and took Star Megami''s void realms stone from the mouth of the returning Red.


    "A map?" Blaze Regret opened the void realms stone and discovered a paper full of markings inside. Surprised, he spread it open.


    As he scanned the map, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually turned to one of extreme delight. The map marked the locations of many spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, as well as several dangerous areas. With this, he would no longer need to go to great lengths to find what he was looking for in the future.


    After collecting both void realms stones, Blaze Regret cast a fleeting glance at Swith Mark''s corpse, then turned and walked into the mountains without looking back.


    Read latest stories on empire


    The night deepened.


    Leaning against the trunk of a towering ancient tree, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground, carefully reading a thick ancient book. Several small night glow fireflies hovered above the pages, emitting a faint glow. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "To catalyze the seeds of the Mystic Fragrance Grass is so troublesome," Blaze Regret murmured, frowning slightly.


    According to the ancient book, the seeds of the Mystic Fragrance Grass could be quickly ripened using the Black Nether Qi from the Black Nether Abyss. However, this method was quite impractical for him at the moment; even Patel Rong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master, had stumbled inside. If he rashly ventured in, he might not even know how he died.


    "Black Nether Grass?" Blaze Regret continued flipping through the book, his eyes suddenly lighting up. It turned out that in Bloodstone Pass, not only did the Black Nether Abyss contain Black Nether Qi, but decades ago, several Black Nether Grass plants that had advanced to the Imperial grade had crawled out of the abyss and rapidly propagated in the nearby forest.


    The leaf pods at the ends of their leaves could also produce a small amount of Black Nether Qi.


    Although the quality couldn''t compare to pure Black Nether Qi, it was still barely sufficient to catalyze a single seed of the Mystic Fragrance Grass.


    "Opening a new spiritual portal is indeed not as easy as imagined," Blaze Regret sighed softly. But the thought of being able to tame another spiritual beast with an additional spiritual portal made his heart race with excitement.


    "Right, that map..."


    As if suddenly remembering something, Blaze Regret''s heart stirred. With a flash of light from the void realms stone, the map drawn by Star Megami appeared in his hand. After a moment, he finally found the mark for the Black Nether Grass in an inconspicuous corner.


    "Just as I suspected, the gathering place of the Black Nether Grass is also classified as a dangerous area. Once I advance to a fifth tier spirit imperial master, I''ll make a trip there," Blaze Regret said with a pleased grin.


    Although the Black Nether Grass had left the Black Nether Abyss, its strength remained formidable. According to the map''s markings, the highest ranked plant within the Black Nether Grass group was of the seventh tier imperial grade, while most of the others were around the fifth tier imperial grade spirit beast level.


    Ordinary spirit masters venturing there might enter, but they likely wouldn''t make it out alive.

 Chapter 241 Third Grade Alchemist

    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret rotated his palm, and the figure of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros appeared in the clearing. Without any hesitation, it charged into the deep mountains, and in an instant, the wild roars of beasts echoed continuously.Blaze Regret flicked Red''s little head, and the latter, after scratching its head with a grimace, followed the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s lead. The strongest spirit beasts in Bloodstone Mountain were only at the seventh tier Imperial grade, making it an ideal place for them to enhance their strength.


    As his hand brushed over the void realms stone, a pill cauldron appeared before Blaze Regret. He was currently situated at the edge of Bloodstone Mountain, where even imperial grade spirit beasts were rare, allowing him to focus on refining his alchemy skills without worry.


    The wind blew, and yellow leaves fell.


    In the blink of an eye, several days passed swiftly.


    Under the ancient tree, Blaze Regret sat with his eyes tightly closed, resembling a meditative monk. Withered leaves covered his head and shoulders, while his black robe had accumulated a layer of dust from sitting for days, giving him a rather unkempt appearance.


    As for the pill cauldron, he had long since stored it back in the void realms stone. His understanding of alchemy had reached the limit of a second tier alchemist, and further refining pills would no longer benefit his alchemical skills. He could only rely on his own insights.


    "Jack Fang, that person seems so strange."


    Two figures passed through the forest, but upon seeing Blaze Regret sitting motionless, the female among them blinked her long eyelashes in surprise.


    "Some people without abilities can''t find proper training grounds, so they have to resort to this. Even the lowest servants in my Jack family have better training environments than he does," said the youth named Jack Fang, curling his lips with disdain and an obvious sense of superiority in his tone.


    "He looks quite handsome, but unfortunately, his strength is too weak. He probably doesn''t have any significant background," the woman''s bright eyes lingered on Blaze Regret for a moment before she shook her head internally.


    She was interested in Jack Fang primarily for better cultivation resources, and evidently, Blaze Regret''s appearance didn''t make an impression on her.


    "Sri Tasha, let''s go quickly. Just looking at that pathetic appearance makes me uncomfortable," Jack Fang said impatiently, waving his hand. The woman nodded and hurriedly followed him.


    The sun rose and set.


    Several more days passed.


    Blaze Regret remained quietly sitting cross legged, as still as a sculpture, save for the faint sound of his even breathing.


    "So this is the enormous difference between a third grade alchemist and a second grade one. No wonder the entire Velorian City can''t produce even one," Blaze Regret murmured as his eyelids suddenly opened, a fleeting spark of flame flashing in his eyes.


    He had finally crossed the chasm like threshold and officially entered the realm of a third grade spirit master.


    "Friends, since you''re here, why hide anymore?"


    As Blaze Regret''s voice echoed through the forest, a rustling sound arose from all directions. Following it came countless sharp gusts of wind, moving with extreme swiftness. Even from a distance, Blaze Regret''s skin felt a piercing pain.


    With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Blaze Regret quickly rolled to the right. Several cold, gleaming blades mercilessly struck where he had just been, scattering wet soil.


    These were five Wind Splitting Mantises, all of the same size, each with strength around the third tier. Their hooked blades, sharp as guillotine knives, could easily split hard rocks.


    Supporting himself on the ground with one hand, Blaze Regret looked ahead with cold eyes. Immediately, he slapped his palm on the ground, leaping into the air. Several icy blades appeared before him, ripping through the air, shooting straight at the Wind Splitting Mantises.


    "Crack!"


    With a swing of their bladed claws, the icy blades, condensed from cold air, were split in half, the breaks smooth as mirrors.


    After shattering the ice blades, the Wind Splitting Mantises didn''t make another move. Instead, they flickered and withdrew to the surroundings. Next to each Mantis stood a man in black, each with an extremely gloomy expression.


    "Who are you?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, his voice unceremonious. Anyone would be quite angry at being suddenly attacked.


    "You don''t need to know who we are. Summon your spirit beast, and perhaps your death can be postponed a bit," one of the men in black said calmly.


    "There''s no need to summon my spirit beasts to deal with you." Blaze Regret''s expression was indifferent, but he smiled bitterly inside. If the Red and Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros were by his side, these third tier spirit Imperial masters wouldn''t be his match. But the current situation was very dire for him.


    "In that case, you can die now." S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the words of the man in black fell, the Wind Splitting Mantises lunged forward again, their sharp claws tracing a cold gleam, aiming at Blaze Regret''s vital spots.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret felt a surge of emotions. These Wind Splitting Mantises were well coordinated, clearly trained. Yet he couldn''t recall when he had offended such a force.


    "Fire Sun Wall!"


    Feeling the fierce winds blowing from all directions, Blaze Regret instinctively spread his palms outward. Pale yellow flames surged around him, forming a barrier of light to fend off the ferocious attacks of the Wind-


    Splitting Mantises.


    Discover hidden tales at empire


    "Clang!"


    Blade like claws struck the barrier with lightning speed. After a moment, cracks began to spread across its surface, and with a snap, it shattered completely.


    As the barrier broke, Blaze Regret swiftly ducked, slipping through the gaps between the mantises. He glanced at the blood seeping from his waist, looking grim. With the strength of a second tier spirit Imperial master, defending against even one Wind Splitting Mantis was his limit, let alone so many appearing at once.


    "You''re lucky, kid. Keep going."

 Chapter 242

    The calm voice of a man in black rang out. The Wind Splitting Mantises paused for a moment, then suddenly swung their claws, launching pale blue wind blades that shot out with a faint glow surrounding them."Get out of my way!"


    With a grip of his palm, an ice blade, more refined than usual, formed in his hand. Blaze Regret swung it angrily, slicing the approaching wind blades in half.


    Even though he survived this round of attacks, Blaze Regret''s expression was grim. Blood trickled from his wrist, staining the soil beneath him.


    Anyone else in his place, even using a stronger spirit technique, would have perished. Trying to counter spirit beasts with spirit techniques was a fool''s errand, especially with the overwhelming numbers against him.


    "Such abundant spiritual power," the leading man in black remarked, surprised to see Blaze Regret fend off the Wind Splitting Mantises'' attack with an ice blade formed from his spiritual energy. Even he wouldn''t claim to do that, yet Blaze Regret, merely a second tier spirit Imperial master, had managed it. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "But you still have to die," the man in black sneered coldly. Blaze Regret hadn''t summoned his spirit beast for so long, which could only mean one thing: something must have happened to his spirit beast. A spirit master without a spirit beast stood no chance against so many adversaries.


    Blaze Regret darted swiftly around the field, gritting his teeth as he pushed his spiritual energy to the limit. Yet, despite his efforts, the Wind Splitting Mantises'' claws still left bloodstained tracks on his body. If this continued, he would die from blood loss before the mantises could kill him.


    "Almost there, I can sense it. The Red and Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros are on their way here," a flicker of joy flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He unleashed his spiritual energy without reservation, forming ice blades to block the mantises'' movements.


    "What a troublesome guy. Wind-


    Splitting Mantises, use Wind Blast to pierce through him directly!" one of the men in black ordered with a vicious tone.


    "Hiss!"


    Upon hearing this, a Wind Splitting Mantis flapped its wings, closing in on Blaze Regret like a whirlwind. Its sharp claws suddenly extended, gleaming with a pale blue light, mercilessly aiming for Blaze Regret''s abdomen.


    "No way to dodge. If that''s the case, I''ll take it head on!"


    Clenching his teeth, Blaze Regret''s eyes showed a crazed determination. Flames spread under his feet and gathered at his fingertips, striking out like lightning.


    "Slash!"


    The cold claws pierced through Blaze Regret''s body, drawing a blood arrow. Just as the men in black began to smile, Blaze Regret''s fingers stabbed fiercely into the mantis''s neck.


    Pulling his fingers out, Blaze Regret used his hand like a blade, enduring the sharp pain from his abdomen to chop at the mantis''s limb. With a crisp crack, the mantis''s claw separated from its body, remaining embedded in Blaze Regret.


    The scene happened in an instant, and before the men in black could react, Blaze Regret had already retreated swiftly, gritting his teeth.


    "My Wind Splitting Mantis!" the man who had spoken earlier screamed in anguish. He never imagined Blaze Regret would risk severe injury to slay his spirit beast.


    "How did you do that?" the leading man in black asked coldly, staring at Blaze Regret. A second tier spirit Imprerial master shouldn''t have been able to kill a third tier Imperial grade Wind Splitting Mantis.


    "Because I just advanced to a third tier spirit Imperial master," Blaze Regret replied with a pained smile, as blood from his abdomen continued to flow along the mantis''s claw.


    "You are the first to earn my respect, but you still must die."


    As the judgmental words of the man in black fell, the remaining Wind Splitting Mantises shot out like lightning, their claws extending with a sharp snap, targeting Blaze Regret from every angle.


    However, just as the mantises were about to strike Blaze Regret down, an earth shattering roar of fury suddenly erupted from within the forest.


    "Roar!"


    The furious roar, like a thunderous explosion, left several men in black dizzy. A violent gust of wind followed, sweeping away the Wind splitting Mantises like a storm.


    "What is that!"


    The leading man in black barely had time to show his shock before a silver figure, accompanied by a sonic boom, rushed in from afar. It stomped a Wind splitting Mantis into the ground before it could escape.


    Its head was crushed under the foot of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and the Wind splitting Mantis struggled briefly before falling silent.


    Immediately, the scene fell into silence. Eyes filled with intense fear were fixed on the silver figure, and some of the men in black were already trembling uncontrollably.


    "A sixth tier... high level Imperial grade spirit beast..."


    The leading man in black swallowed hard. He couldn''t understand why this spirit beast would come to aid Blaze Regret, but it was clear that their fate was sealed today.


    "If you had come any later, you''d be collecting my corpse," Blaze Regret grinned, blood flowing like a river from his abdomen. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes flared with fury.


    "Bang!" Stay connected through empire


    As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped its foot, a rock pillar erupted from the ground, standing beside Blaze Regret to prevent him from collapsing.


    After a slight pause, Blaze Regret chuckled softly, resting one arm on the rock pillar while the other hand covered the Wind splitting Mantis''s blade embedded in his abdomen. With a swift motion, he pulled out the blood soaked blade.


    Gritting his teeth in pain, Blaze Regret retrieved some healing medicine from the void realms stone and poured it onto his wound, slowing the blood flow significantly.


    Upon seeing this, the leader of the men in black flinched. Such fierce resolve, even for someone used to living on the edge like him, was unparalleled. How resilient was this young man''s spirit?


    "Even though his Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros is sixth tier, we have the numbers. If we proceed cautiously, we can still take it down," the leader of the men in black reassured his terrified comrades, shouting sternly.

 Chapter 243

    However, just as his words left his mouth, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly sprang into action. Like a sweeping gale, it smashed the head of a Wind splitting Mantis with a single punch.The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros then darted through the battlefield with incredible speed, each punch resulting in a Wind splitting Mantis''s death. Eventually, only one remained, caught firmly in its grasp, unable to move.


    "Wait, let''s talk!" the leader of the men in black finally shouted in panic. How could this Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros be so powerful? They had no chance against it!


    With a cold glance at the man in black, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lowered its head and violently tore the struggling Wind splitting Mantis in half. Its emerald green liquid splattered onto the ground like raindrops.


    "Retreat!"


    The leader of the men in black immediately shouted, and the terrified men beside him, already contemplating escape, turned and fled in panic upon hearing him.


    "Swish!"


    A sharp light flashed, and several blood lines spurted from the necks of the men in black, leaving only the leader standing frozen in place, too scared to move.


    Staring coldly at him, Red flicked its paw, and sharp claws shot out, slashing fiercely at him.


    Seeing yet another spirit beast appear, the man in black broke out in a cold sweat. He had known before coming that Blaze Regret had a second tier fire attributed spirit beast, and now it seemed this was the one.


    Yet its aura had clearly reached third tier, differing significantly from his intelligence.


    "Ugh!"


    Red let out a threatening low growl, prompting the man in black to quickly turn around and look at Blaze Regret, who remained calm.


    "Who sent you?" Blaze Regret asked calmly.


    "No one... ah!"


    Just as the man in black spoke, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros grabbed him upside down. Its strong right paw crushed the bones in his leg, and his agonizing scream pierced the silent night.


    "I don''t want to ask again," Blaze Regret said, pressing his hand lightly on his abdomen. His calm voice sent shivers down the man''s spine.


    "I was hired by the Jack family. Jack Nan sent me!" the man in black shouted in pain, gasping for breath.


    "Jack Nan." A cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. It seemed the previous incident hadn''t taught him enough of a lesson.


    "How did you find me?" Blaze Regret took a deep breath and continued questioning.


    He had been in Bloodstone Mountain for some time. If they intended to kill him, they wouldn''t have waited until now to act. The only explanation was that they didn''t initially know he was in Bloodstone Mountain.


    "It was Patel kin. The Mo family boy found out you had a grudge with the Jack family''s young master, so he went to Jack Nan and incited him to have you killed," the man in black shouted, enduring the pain.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s gaze turned icy.


    After leaving the Patel family, many Patel family members had seen his movements, but he didn''t pay it any mind. Who would have thought that Patel kin would be so twisted, wanting him dead just because he benefited Patel Shin?


    In truth, Patel kin''s arrogant attitude would have irked any second grade alchemist who wouldn''t let it slide easily. He never expected that sparing Patel kin would result in such enmity.


    "Where is he?" Blaze Regret asked, returning to his senses and looking coldly at the man in black, whose head was touching the ground.


    "Over in that direction, at the foot of Bloodstone Mountain," the man in black said, raising a trembling hand to point into the distance.


    Having obtained the information he wanted, Blaze Regret endured his pain and slowly walked in the direction the man in black had pointed, his eyes filled with an icy determination.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros glanced at Blaze Regret, then slammed its massive paw down, burying the screaming man in black into the ground. It lifted a large rock and smashed it down heavily.


    "Ugh!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s unsteady steps, Red transformed into its original form as the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat and moved in front of him, lifting him up entirely.


    Blaze Regret smiled and rubbed Red''s small ears. Behind him, the massive figure of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros followed slowly.


    ...


    "By now, that guy should be dead."


    Standing at the edge of the poison mist, Patel kin looked at the dark mountain peak with a vicious smile. If you had spoken kindly about me to the head of the family instead of helping Patel Shin, today''s events might have been avoided.


    In the distance, a black figure slowly emerged, its features obscured by the night.


    "Haha, he came out!"


    Seeing this scene, Patel kin laughed gleefully and rushed forward without a second thought.


    Amidst the cover of trees, a shadow slowly emerged. Patel Kin, who had been sprinting wildly, suddenly came to a gradual halt, his expression somewhat strange. Beneath the shadow seemed to be a small sun, gently shining.


    "No... impossible!" Patel Kin suddenly recalled something and screamed. Explore stories at empire


    "Bang!"


    A sound like a small mountain landing echoed, and Patel Kin shivered violently at the sight of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clad in silver armor, his face full of terror.


    "I ask, you answer," Blaze Regret''s calm voice rang out, carrying an undeniable tone that made Patel Kin nod continuously without even thinking.


    "Who is your master, and what is his strength?" Blaze Regret inquired. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Our master is named Jack mana, a sixth tier spirit Imperial Master, but just a few days ago, he broke through to the seventh tier." Patel Kin was clearly much more intimidated than those men in black. Upon seeing Blaze Regret''s cold eyes, he found it hard even to speak clearly.


    "Seventh tier, huh." Blaze Regret nodded lightly, then gently touched Red''s small ears. Understanding the gesture, Red moved its four beautiful paws slowly towards the inside of the Bloodstone Pass.

 Chapter 244

    Watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, Patel Kin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then a strong sense of horror appeared on his face. A silver hand, carrying a massive shadow, slammed down on his head."Bang!"


    Hearing the sound from behind, Blaze Regret, expressionless, touched the wound on his abdomen. The intense pain caused an unhealthy flush to rise on his face.


    "The Jack family, do you really think Blaze Regret is dead?" Cold light flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and a murderous intent swirled in his heart.


    With the spiritual portal open, Blaze Regret took the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros inside, then, supported by Red, entered the Bloodstone Pass.


    The most important thing now was to treat the abdominal wound, and then demand an explanation for the origin of this injury.


    Inside the Bloodstone Pass, the street was bustling with activity, illuminated by the glow of countless tiny lights and the figures moving back and forth.


    Blaze Regret glanced towards the Jack family''s direction, noticing numerous figures with not inconsiderable auras walking there with smiles on their faces. Retracting his gaze, a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.


    "Can you tell me if something is happening with the Jack family?" Blaze Regret asked as he guided Red to approach a young man.


    The young man initially looked a bit annoyed at being stopped so suddenly, but upon seeing the hundreds of gold coins floating in Blaze Regret''s hand, his face immediately brightened with a friendly smile.


    "Young brother, you might not know yet, but a few days ago, a genius emerged from the Jack family. At a young age, he broke through to become a spirit Imperial Master, quite an impressive feat," the young man said cheerfully as he pocketed the gold coins.


    "So that''s it," Blaze Regret nodded silently. Having a spirit Imperial Master emerge in the family was indeed a cause for celebration, even a remarkable achievement in Velorian City.


    Even in the Blaze family, which was under the protection of strong spirit Lord masters, the number of spirit Imperial master experts could be counted on one hand.


    "By the way, the person is named Jack Fang. I heard he brought back a beautiful young woman this time," the young man added, rubbing his hands together with an envious expression, leaving Blaze Regret somewhat speechless.


    After navigating through a few streets, Blaze Regret finally reached the signboard of the Clear Water Pavilion. It took him nearly ten breaths to dismount from Red''s back, after which he gently knocked on the tightly closed door.


    He held a certain degree of respect for Kartis Wave, as the latter was a formidable figure from his father''s generation. Being carried in by Red would undoubtedly be a rude gesture.


    "Come in."


    A lazy yet elegant voice echoed by his ear. Blaze Regret slightly pursed his lips and gently pushed open the door to the Clear Water Pavilion.


    "Creaaak~"


    As usual, Kartis Wave was lying lazily over the counter, his face relaxed and handsome enough to captivate many young women.


    "Injured?" Kartis Wave asked in surprise, noticing the nearly dried bloodstains on Blaze Regret''s abdomen.


    "Yeah, I got set up by a few guys," Blaze Regret nodded with a bitter smile.


    "Planning to get some payback?" Kartis Wave asked playfully.


    "I, Blaze Regret, usually don''t cause trouble, but if someone messes with me, they shouldn''t expect to get away with it," Blaze Regret affirmed.


    "Does it have to be today?" Kartis Wave stood up, and a clear water whirlpool swirled around him, faintly visible like a playful, transparent little snake.


    "A gentleman does not delay revenge," Blaze Regret declared confidently.


    "Haha, born from that old man Blaze Ash, how could you be a gentleman? It''s good enough you''re not a rogue," Kartis Wave laughed heartily, and Blaze Regret sheepishly scratched his head.


    Well, it seemed to be true after all.


    "Hold your breath."


    Kartis Wave suddenly looked at Blaze Regret, his fair hands swiftly forming seals. Several clear streams of water began to circulate around Blaze Regret''s body, transforming into a water sphere that enveloped him.


    With the crisp sound of flowing water, the blood scab on Blaze Regret''s abdomen gradually peeled away, merging into the water. As the wound became visible, the once clear water sphere turned completely red.


    Gritting his teeth tightly, Blaze Regret remained silent, having endured greater pain along the way. This was nothing in comparison.


    After a while, Kartis Wave retracted his hand, and the water sphere transformed back into several clear streams, returning to his sleeve. Meanwhile, a thick layer of blood scabs piled up in the soil of a nearby flower pot. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Thank you, Uncle Kartis," Blaze Regret expressed his gratitude with a bow, hesitating slightly before adding with some embarrassment, "I''m sorry."


    Bowing slightly, Kartis Wave waved his hand gently, only raising his head slowly after hearing the sound of a door creaking open. Experience tales at empire


    "Little guy, you''re just like your father, even trying to test me," Kartis Wave chuckled and shook his head. Blaze Regret''s actions didn''t annoy him; instead, they sparked a bit of fondness.


    This character was just like Blaze Ash back in the day.


    "Kartis Wave, a former powerhouse of the Sun Moon Empire, ascended to Spirit king forty years ago. His current strength is unknown, but one of his spirit beasts, Stari Linglong, possesses three healing type spirit techniques," Blaze Regret recited as he walked, while Red beside him looked on in confusion.


    Smiling, Blaze Regret patted Red''s head, feeling a sense of relief. The injury he had suffered was not in vain.


    Jack Family.


    Today, the Jack family was exceptionally lively. The head of the family, Jack mana, sat in the high seat, his face glowing with pride as he listened to the congratulations around him. All this was because his second son, Jack Fang, had recently broken through to become a spirit Imperial Master.


    A spirit Imperial Master of such an age was a first for the Jack family, making Jack mana''s old face shine with pride.

 Chapter 245 Shock

    "Old Mana, congratulations to you! You must drink this cup."At the banquet, a portly middle aged man cast an envious glance at Jack Fang. If their family could produce such a genius, they would certainly rise in prominence within Bloodstone Pass.


    "Oh, it''s nothing, just my son''s good fortune," Jack mana said with a smile, downing his drink. At that moment, the main door of the Jack family shook violently.


    "Bang!"


    The sturdy wooden door shattered loudly. Everyone in the Jack family looked on in surprise, seeing a youthful, handsome face slowly come into view under their gaze.


    "Excuse me, but could I join your gathering?"


    Sawdust flew everywhere, covering the entire Jack family courtyard like a rain of wood chips. Faces were filled with astonishment, except for the young man in a black robe, standing with a smile at the entrance.


    "Is it him?" Jack Feng and Sri Tasha exchanged glances, both noticing the shock in each other''s eyes. This was the same disheveled cultivator they had seen in Bloodstone Mountain.


    Is he out of his mind?


    The same thought echoed in everyone''s mind, and the looks directed at Blaze Regret were extremely peculiar. Where did he get the audacity to dare to knock on the Jack family''s door?


    Though the Jack family had suffered greatly in recent years due to the Black Abyss, their foundation still remained. Especially a few days ago, Jack Mana had broken through to become a seventh tier spirit Imperial master, suggesting that the Jack family might once again become a prominent family in the Bloodstone Pass.


    In the midst of everyone''s bewildered gazes, Blaze Regret stepped lightly, his entire body entering the Jack family''s premises.


    "How dare you!"


    Jack Mana finally reacted, slamming the table with his palm and standing up, his furious gaze locked on Blaze Regret as if to pierce through him. "Who are you really? If you don''t give me an explanation today, don''t think you''ll walk out of here!"


    Jack Mana''s angry voice rang out, while Jack Feng and Sri Tasha wore expressions of amusement. This kid probably didn''t understand what the Jack family represented. It wouldn''t be long before he paid a memorable price for his ignorance.


    On the other side of the table, Jack Nan sat with his head down, his palms sweating profusely.


    How did this kid survive and return? Doesn''t that mean the people sent to kill him all failed? But how is that possible?


    Blaze Regret was just a second tier spirit Imperial master, after all. Jack Nan couldn''t fathom what method Blaze Regret had used to eliminate them.


    "But since you''ve come to the Jack family, there''s no way out but death!" Jack Nan lifted his head in hatred, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible, eager to slay Blaze Regret on the spot.


    "An explanation?" Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, lifting his hand to reveal a gruesome wound, shocking everyone, even causing Jack Mana''s face to twitch involuntarily.


    What kind of deep seated hatred would drive someone to such ruthless measures?


    "I don''t know what happened, but since you broke down the Jack family''s door, you will pay the price," Jack Mana said, looking at the mess all around, his eyes glinting coldly. He clenched his hand, and countless ice crystals filled the air. Within them, a slender figure appeared, faintly visible.


    The figure resembled a woman with flowing blue hair, holding an ice bow in her hand. The bow was adorned with intricate, beautiful ice patterns.


    "It''s the Spirit of the Ice Arrow. Jack Mana''s spiritual power surged and he became a seventh tier spirit Imperial master after he subdued this spirit beast a few days ago!"


    At this sight, everyone in the courtyard hurriedly retreated, fearing they would be caught up in the impending battle.


    "A seventh tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast. Let''s see what you''ve got." Find exclusive stories on empire


    Blaze Regret formed a seal with one hand, and the silver body of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros appeared in the courtyard, its battle hardened gaze fixed on the Ice Arrow Spirit. This creature was far more dangerous than the Beacon Fire Tiger.


    "Boom!"


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its foot and stomped hard on the ground. A violent gale swept out, carrying wood chips towards the onlookers. The wild momentum caused a slight change in Jack Mana''s expression.


    "A sixth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast!" Jack Mana''s heart grew heavier. He began to understand where this young man''s confidence was coming from.


    "Impossible!"


    In the distance, Jack Nan exclaimed in shock. How could Blaze Regret, a third tier spirit Imperial master, possibly have a sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beast?


    Others in the courtyard shared his disbelief, while Jack Feng and Sri Tasha were wide eyed. This kid was not only a spirit Imperial master but also possessed such a terrifying spirit beast!


    Jack Feng, in particular, had been quite smug about his own strength since returning. But now, Blaze Regret''s display of power was a severe blow to his pride. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sri Tasha stood next to Jack Feng, her expression extremely complex.


    "Very well, no wonder you don''t regard the Jack family at all."


    Jack Mana''s eyes were filled with a chilling light, and his deep voice boomed: "Ice Arrow Spirit, take care of them!"


    With a light step forward, the Ice Arrow Spirit raised its ice bow. As its hand drew back, a sharp ice arrow swiftly formed on the bowstring, the arrowhead glinting with a cold, deadly light.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Ice Arrow Spirit released its grip, and a pale blue streak shot forth, aimed directly at Blaze Regret.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with a flash of ferocity in its eyes, stomped the ground. Spiritual power rapidly gathered on its fist, and then its arm shot out like a spear.


    "Bang!"


    The sharp ice arrow shattered instantly under the force of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s punch. The spreading icy ripples scraped a layer off the surrounding ground, and a thin layer of ice crystals formed on Blaze Regret''s eyelashes.

 Chapter 246 Slight Disappointment

    "So cold!" Blaze Regret shivered slightly, while an endless anticipation welled up inside him. If the Ice Control Irenix were to emerge, its power might even surpass that of the Ice Arrow Spirit.After all, that ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Master, a powerful spirit King cultivator, incomparable to ordinary spirit king master entities.


    As these thoughts raced through Blaze Regret''s mind, the Ice Arrow Spirit shot several more arrows in rapid succession, all of which were smashed to pieces by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fists. The Jack family''s courtyard lay in ruins from the destructive collisions.


    "My young friend, shall we take this fight outside?" Jack Mana frowned and spoke calmly. If they continued like this, the entire Jack family estate might be razed to the ground.


    "Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, follow me." Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently and stepped out of the Jack family''s gate. Surrounding the Jack estate, a crowd had already gathered, drawn by the commotion. When they saw the robust silver body of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, they couldn''t help but gasp.


    With a swift movement, the Ice Arrow Spirit landed on a high wall, its ice bow flashing repeatedly. Arrows flew with sharp whistles, enveloping the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros from all directions.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lowered its gaze slightly and brought its palms together. A surging wave of power rippled out from beneath it, causing the incoming ice arrows to halt in mid air. As a second wave rolled out, fine cracks quickly appeared along the shafts of the arrows, which then shattered into pieces of ice and fell.


    Spiritual Technique: Pulse Shock!


    "Boom!"


    The third wave of power surged forth, and the Ice Arrow Spirit on the high wall coughed up a trace of blood, its body trembling, almost toppling off the wall.


    Witnessing this, many people were left gaping in shock.


    "What a strange spiritual technique. Ice Arrow Spirit, use the Thousand Arrow Rain to forcefully interrupt it!" Jack Mana shouted anxiously.


    Nodding slightly, the Ice Arrow Spirit twirled its slender fingers, conjuring an ice arrow. With a powerful pull of the bowstring, the arrow shot above the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, where it flashed and exploded. The released cold transformed into a vast ice formation, with a subtle icy mist swirling beneath it.


    Spiritual Technique: Thousand Arrow Rain!


    An ice blue array slowly rotates above the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, emanating a bone chilling cold. From the array, sharp ice arrows form, with tiny ice crystals rapidly condensing at their tips, exponentially increasing their sharpness.


    Standing atop the high wall, the Frost Arrow Spirit clenches a slender hand, shattering the ice array. A barrage of ice arrows rains down, slicing through the sky and enveloping the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros below.


    With its palms pressed together, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros looks skyward, clenching its five fingers into a fist and striking out fiercely. Roaring spiritual power transforms into a rock dragon, crashing heavily into the descending arrows.


    "Boom!"


    The clash between the rock dragon and ice arrows sends ripples rapidly spreading through the air, slicing through taller buildings and causing them to crumble powerlessly, raising clouds of dust.


    Standing firmly on the ground, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly grasps a giant ice arrow that broke through the rock dragon, holding it tightly in its hand. The sharp arrowhead hovers just a finger''s breadth from its silver armor.


    With a slight exertion of its knuckles, the ice arrow shatters into several pieces. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s indifferent gaze shifts to the Frost Arrow Spirit on the high wall, and it fiercely throws the shards in its hand.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    As the Frost Arrow Spirit swings its icy bow, dazzling sparks flash, and the ice arrow fragments explode into small clouds of cold mist in the air.


    Seeing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros unharmed, Jack Mana''s expression shows slight disappointment. The earlier rain of arrows was a feint, with the true killing move being that single ice arrow. However, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros detected it in the end.


    "However, my Frost Arrow Spirit isn''t so easily dealt with," Jack Mana''s cold voice slowly emerges from his mouth.


    "Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, move in and bring down the Frost Arrow Spirit," Blaze Regret says calmly.


    As a long range attacking spirit beast, the Frost Arrow Spirit is bound to be weak in close combat. Once in close quarters, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fists can instantly inflict severe damage.


    With a subtle flicker in its gaze, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenches its fist, causing surging spiritual power to ripple across its surface. The surrounding space seems to shatter, forming tiny cracks.


    "Boom!"


    A violent explosion resounds as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s form shoots out like a cannonball, its unstoppable momentum causing Jack Mana''s expression to turn serious.


    As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros charges forward, the Frost Arrow Spirit lightly grips its right hand, with rolling cold energy surging within. The Frost Arrow Spirit then draws that mass of cold energy onto its bowstring.


    "Is it a Imperial grade spiritual technique?" Blaze Regret''s expression is equally solemn, realizing Jack Mana''s spirit beast is more challenging to deal with than he anticipated.


    "Whoosh!" Find adventures at empire


    The sound of the arrow leaving the string rings out as the mass of cold energy shoots forth. Mid air, it rapidly morphs into a massive ice ball, about 30 meter in size, with spikes resembling arrowheads extending and retracting from its edges. It smashes down toward the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros below.


    "Boom!"


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist, brimming with terrifying force, collides with the ice ball. The ground cracks apart as ice mist rises, resembling a pale blue mushroom cloud, halting the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s advance. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Shaking its fist, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros frowns at the blood seeping from its fist. The Frost Arrow Spirit''s spiritual technique is incredibly destructive, leaving even it unable to emerge completely unscathed.

 Chapter 247 Misunderstanding

    In contrast to the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s discontent, Jack Mana is deeply shocked. Just days earlier, he encountered another high tier sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beast, which was reduced to mush under the Frost Arrow Spirit''s ice spike ball. Yet, this Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros only bled a little."I originally intended to just teach you a lesson, but now it seems I have to resort to harsher measures," Jack Mana mutters softly.


    Taking a deep breath of the icy air, the Frost Arrow Spirit suddenly leaps into the air. An ice arrow with small wings on both sides appears on the bowstring. Spiritual power from the heavens and earth, as if drawn by some force, pours madly into the ice arrow, forming a pale blue vortex from afar.


    "What a powerful fluctuation!"


    In the crowd, a fourth level spirit Imperial master couldn''t help but gape in astonishment. Only at his level could he vaguely sense the terrifying energy contained within that ice arrow.


    "Die for me!" Jack Nan''s lips curled into a grin. If he could, he would love to personally cut Blaze Regret into pieces, but unfortunately, he lacked the strength.


    "Arrogance comes with a price," Jack Fang''s eyes were filled with venom. Blaze Regret''s appearance had severely shattered his confidence, and only the latter''s death could bring him some solace.


    "High tier Imperial grade spiritual skill, Ice Phoenix Soaring Arrow!"


    As Jack Mana''s cold shout rang out, the Frost Arrow Spirit in mid air released its fingers. The arrow shot forth with a roar, surrounded by surging cold air. Moments later, it transformed into a screeching giant ice phoenix, whose biting cold turned the air within a hundred meters into tiny ice crystals.


    As the ice phoenix dove down, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped the ground, unleashing a torrent of spiritual power. This energy swirled around its fist, causing the surrounding space to distort.


    "Whether it succeeds depends on this move," Blaze Regret''s gaze was filled with gravity.


    The spiritual power encircling the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist rapidly condensed, transforming into a faint silhouette of a rhino. A deep roar echoed in all directions.


    The Mighty Rhino Fist Force is a spiritual skill that the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros can only comprehend at the sixth tier, boasting even greater destructive power than its Shattering Fist.


    As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros watched the ever enlarging ice phoenix, it slowly moved its clenched fist backward, then suddenly thrust it upward. The surging silver spiritual power transformed into a rhino shaped shockwave, charging toward the ice phoenix.


    The rhino''s horn struck the ice phoenix''s belly like lightning, causing it to freeze in mid air. For a moment, both attacks remained motionless, creating an eerie atmosphere in the scene.


    "What is happening?" Jack Nan opened his mouth in confusion, unable to comprehend what was occurring, but his pupils soon contracted sharply.


    Suddenly, a dragon imprint appeared on the rhino''s horn, and the previously stalemated shockwave pierced directly through the ice phoenix''s body, striking the Frost Arrow Spirit.


    "Boom!"


    A dull sound echoed as the spiritual power impact exploded. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s feet retreated continuously, leaving marks on the ground, while the Frost Arrow Spirit was hit hard, sent flying backward, and slammed into a tall building''s wall. Massive cracks rapidly spread behind it.


    On the street, countless onlookers stared blankly at the scene, as if time had momentarily come to a standstill.


    "Crack!"


    The Ice Arrow Spirit moved its body with difficulty, causing tiny pebbles to fall to the ground and instantly shatter into powder. The next moment, it too fell along with the pebbles.


    Seeing this, Jack Mana hurriedly opened his palm, and a cold chill transformed into an ice wheel to catch the Ice Arrow Spirit''s body, allowing it to slowly descend and preventing it from a fatal fall.


    Tilting its head slightly, the neck of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros emitted a series of crisp sounds. Then it lifted its foot, walking toward the Ice Arrow Spirit, intending to deliver the final blow.


    The silver fist, exuding a faint force, suddenly swung down with a fierce look in the eyes of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros. But at that moment, a figure suddenly blocked the weakened Ice Arrow Spirit. It was Jack Mana.


    "Come back," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    The massive fist halted in front of Jack Mana''s face, the force from it blowing his hair and revealing his pale face, which showed his unmistakable inner fear.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros glanced indifferently at Jack Mana, then at the Ice Arrow Spirit, and after a moment, turned around, standing like a shield in front of Blaze Regret to prevent any sudden attacks.


    Breathing heavily, Jack Mana was somewhat incredulous. Did that young man just let him go?


    In the crowd behind, Jack Nan felt a surge of fear as he saw the Ice Arrow Spirit fall. He quickly turned around, attempting to escape.


    "Try taking another step."


    The calm voice that sounded in his ear made Jack Nan''s foot freeze in mid air. Despite the unassuming tone, it was enough to make him too afraid to move.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s focus shift to Jack Nan, the onlookers wore strange expressions, and Jack Fang and Sri Tasha also cast puzzled glances.


    Calmly looking at Jack Nan, Blaze Regret slowly walked over. In his palm, a cold aura spread, and a flickering icy blade appeared, firmly gripped in his hand.


    "Young friend, is there some sort of misunderstanding?" Jack Mana''s face was filled with anxiety, and his voice was kept very low. Experience exclusive tales on empire


    "Misunderstanding?" sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret sneered coldly, "Before I entered Bloodstone Pass, this person claimed that the Ice Bamboo Essence belonged to the Jack family and demanded I hand over the Ice Bamboo Flower. After I entered Bloodstone Pass, he incited the innkeeper to steal my gold card, and Jack Bun was involved in this too. And just today, he hired several third level spirit Imperial masters to assassinate me.


    If I weren''t fortunate, I would have died in the Bloodstone Mountains."

 Chapter 248 Light Atribute

    With each accusation Blaze Regret made, Jack Mana''s face became increasingly grim, and the surrounding crowd erupted in whispers, pointing fingers at Jack Nan. Some even laughed out loud.Jack Nan''s capabilities were lacking, yet his self destructive antics were plentiful. It''s a wonder what misfortune Jack Mana encountered to have such a son.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Jack Mana furrowed his brow in thought, Blaze Regret suddenly moved, swiftly advancing to Jack Nan''s side. He lifted his foot and kicked down hard.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bone breaking echoed, and Jack Nan screamed in agony. His pitiful cries elicited no sympathy from the crowd; instead, they laughed even more.


    It seemed like a year ago, Jack Nan had his leg broken by Blood Nite from the Blood mark Sect, and today, history repeated itself.


    "Young friend, is this enough?" Jack Mana looked at Blaze Regret, his eyes showing a hint of pain.


    Looking at Jack Mana, Blaze Regret sighed and then slowly shook his head.


    Seeing this, cold sweat instantly appeared on Jack Mana''s forehead. Although his son was disappointing, it was hard for him to see him killed before his eyes.


    "Master Jack, I can spare Jack Nan, but only if..." S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s voice echoed in Jack Mana''s mind, causing his eyes to widen abruptly. It took him a long time before he finally nodded with difficulty, as if he had made a significant decision.


    Seeing Jack Mana nod, Blaze Regret felt a sense of relief.


    Actually, coming to confront the Jack family and causing trouble for Jack Nan was just one part of his plan. More importantly, according to ancient texts provided by Master Magi, the Jack family controlled a treasure site called the Hundred Spirit Pool, which was extremely beneficial for the cultivation of spirit masters and spirit beasts.


    "Young friend, please come in." Jack Mana retracted the Ice Arrow Spirit into the spirit portal and turned to enter the courtyard littered with rubble, while the other members of the Jack family stepped aside.


    With a slight curl at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret followed closely without hesitation, maintaining a calm demeanor as if unafraid of any tricks Jack Mana might play.


    "In consideration of your father, I''ll spare you for now, but necessary punishment must be given. This cluster of Sun Blaze will remain in your body for six months, causing pain and ready to explode if you harbor treacherous thoughts again."


    Passing by the wailing Jack Nan, Blaze Regret waved his hand, sending a pale yellow flame into Jack Nan''s body, speaking with an indifferent tone.


    Feeling the burning pain throughout his body, Jack Nan nodded repeatedly, devoid of any thoughts of revenge. Now, just a glance at Blaze Regret filled him with fear, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably. He would likely live under the shadow cast by Blaze Regret for the rest of his life.


    "Young friend, I was unaware of my son''s actions. I am truly ashamed."


    In the hall, Jack Mana sat on a chair and had a servant pour a cup of tea for Blaze Regret, speaking with a face full of apology.


    "What''s past is past. Now, let''s discuss the matter of the Hundred Spirit Pool." Blaze Regret spoke calmly.


    Although Jack Nan wasn''t killed, the punishment he received was worse than death. Not only would he spend his days confined to bed, but his foolish actions would also become the talk of many spirit masters in Bloodstone Pass, tarnishing his reputation indefinitely.


    "The Hundred Spirit Pool, you say." Jack Mana''s eyes flickered slightly.


    The Hundred Spirit Pool was a treasure discovered by the previous head of the Jack family, Jack Yanpeng. It is said to be the site where nearly a hundred light attribute spirit beasts fell thousands of years ago. Over time, it evolved into a pool brimming with immense energy. Explore more stories at empire


    The light attribute is the most unique among all elements, as its spiritual power can be absorbed by spirit beasts of any attribute. Therefore, cultivating in the Hundred Spirit Pool is as effective as refining countless spiritual medicines.


    Jack Yanpeng, the former head of the Jack family, was able to break through to the Spirit Imperial Master level within a few short years by cultivating in the Hundred Spirit Pool. This transformation elevated the previously inconspicuous Jack family in Bloodstone Pass to a prominent force.


    However, with the passing of Jack Yanpeng, the Jack family has been on the brink of collapse.


    "But the Hundred Spirit Pool seemed to have dried up decades ago," Jack Mana hesitated, speaking softly.


    "No matter, just take me there, and I''ll handle the rest," Blaze Regret said, sipping his tea and then looking up at Jack Mana.


    Hearing this, Jack Mana nodded helplessly, hoping that the young man wouldn''t vent his anger on the Jack family upon seeing the dried up pool. The Jack family could no longer afford any turmoil.


    Seeing Jack Mana agree, Blaze Regret smiled inwardly.


    Coming to the Jack family not only allowed him to teach Jack Nan a lesson, but also brought him closer to the long coveted Hundred Spirit Pool. It was indeed a fruitful visit.


    Surrounded by mountains, the place was extremely secluded, and even the shadows of spirit beasts were almost impossible to find.


    "Young friend, this is the Hundred Spirit Pool."


    Standing beside a dried up pool, Jack Mana pointed to it with a wry smile. The pool was filled with cracked earth, scattered stones, and withered leaves.


    "Just as the records described," Blaze Regret nodded inwardly, squatting down to pick up a piece of soil and gently sniff it.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s odd behavior, Jack Mana''s eyes flickered with curiosity. Throughout the journey, he couldn''t fathom what this young man intended to do.


    "This pool once contained pure light energy, but over time, it has completely dissipated," Jack Mana couldn''t help but remind.


    "The Hundred Spirit Pool is formed from the remains of hundreds of light element spirit beasts. Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, light element spirit beasts are composed entirely of pure energy. Even in death, they leave behind no bones, instead transforming into energy bodies that other spirit beasts can absorb,"

 Chapter 249 Light Elf

    Blaze Regret explained as he dropped the soil and dusted off his hands.Hearing this, Jack Mana nodded slightly. It was precisely because of this that light element spirit beasts were hunted to near extinction, making them incredibly rare now. Read new adventures at empire


    "However, your understanding of light element spirit beasts is insufficient."


    Blaze Regret opened his palm to reveal a round pill, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance that caused the seemingly dry soil to stir slightly.


    Staring at the Hundred Spirit Pool, Jack Mana''s pupils contracted slightly.


    "This pill, called the Polar Day Pill, is made from precious herbs like aurora grass. When crushed, no light element spirit beast can resist its allure, even in their energy form." Blaze Regret gently crushed the pill into a sparkling powder, letting it fall onto the cracked soil.


    The Polar Day Pill, a second grade elixir, was one of the many pills Blaze Regret had crafted at the edge of Bloodstone Mountain. Originally, he had hoped to try his luck and it seemed it would indeed be useful.


    As the sparkling powder scattered, the pile of dried soil rapidly dissolved under Jack Mana''s astonished gaze. A dazzling light emanated from the bottom of the mud pool, and the pure energy seemed to form a clear pool of water once again.


    "As long as a part of the light energy body is preserved, it will continuously absorb the spiritual power from the air, gradually restoring its original form. However, this is ultimately just a lifeless special existence," Blaze Regret said softly, observing the shadows moving back and forth in the energy formed pool.


    Jack Mana, standing nearby, was already stunned. Could it be that for all these years, the Jack family had missed such a tremendous opportunity? If not, Jack Mana might have already become a powerful spirit master by now!


    "Don''t overthink it. These energy bodies usually disguise themselves in various ways. Your Jack family''s old patriarch probably stumbled upon something by chance, revealing the true form of this Hundred Spirit Pool," Blaze Regret shrugged and said.


    "I wonder about that pill you mentioned..." Jack Mana asked tentatively.


    "Although any second tier alchemist can refine the Polar Day Pill, the pill formula is only in my hands," Blaze Regret replied with a meaningful smile.


    Jack Mana''s breathing grew rapid. Just as he was about to say something, he watched Blaze Regret leap into the Hundred Spirit Pool.


    "Plop!"


    Even though there was the sound of splashing, no water droplets rose from the pool''s surface, clearly indicating that the pool water was entirely made of energy.


    With flickering eyes, Jack Mana seemed to make up his mind. He sat cross legged beside the Hundred Spirit Pool, guarding against any spirit beasts that might leap into the pool at any moment.


    As Blaze Regret''s figure slowly descended, he glanced around, marveling at the sight of light element spirit beast energy bodies swimming in the energy pool like fish in a river.


    "Wow!" S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly, a disc shaped energy body locked onto Blaze Regret and Red, who had entered the pool. It was surrounded by several brilliant light beads, tracing a dazzling path.


    "Light Elf!" Blaze Regret''s heart stirred.


    The Light Elf, initially of mid tier Imperial grade, had energy body strength approximately at the third tier, not significantly stronger than Red.


    The hollow eyes of the Light Elf fixated on Blaze Regret. With a sudden jolt, the light beads surrounding its body shot out, creating dazzling rays of light that hurtled toward Blaze Regret.


    "Whoosh!"


    Leaping down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red''s sharp claws swiped through the air, tearing the brilliant light beads into countless fragments.


    In the next moment, Red darted forward, its sharp claws enveloped in a faint yellow flame, slicing the Light Elf''s body in half.


    "Boom!"


    The Light Elf''s body shattered into pure energy, which surged into Red. Only a small tadpole shaped energy body managed to escape, swiftly hiding within the energy pool.


    Red did not pursue further. As long as a portion of the energy body remained, it would eventually reform into a new Light Elf. If it were completely obliterated, the Light Elf''s energy body would vanish forever, unable to reform.


    Exhausting resources without regard for the future is clearly an unwise decision.


    Having absorbed the Light Elf''s energy, Red shook its small head contentedly. Staying in the Hundred Spirit Pool for a few days would enable it to break through, far easier than battling other spirit beasts.


    Noticing their companion being defeated, the other energy bodies grew agitated. A nearby Crescent Flower, its petals like sharp blades, sliced through the energy infused waters, aiming directly at Red.


    "A sixth tier energy body," Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he quickly summoned the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. With a powerful stomp, the creature unleashed a rippling punch that shattered the Crescent Flower into pieces.


    Absorbing the Crescent Flower''s pure energy, the silver armor on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shimmered brightly, clearly benefiting greatly from the encounter.


    With a twist of his hand, Blaze Regret formed a protective flame barrier and floated calmly within the energy pool. The air within the pool was similar to the outside, so there was no risk of suffocation while inside.


    Days passed by.


    The energy bodies in the Hundred Spirit Pool were almost entirely eradicated, with only a few brilliant little tadpoles hiding in the crevices of the rocks, too afraid to come out.


    Although lifeless, they still possessed an instinctive fear of danger.


    Opening his eyes, Blaze Regret looked at Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, whose auras had significantly strengthened, and smiled faintly. Although the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros hadn''t broken through, it was on the verge of reaching the powerful seventh tier. Meanwhile, Red had advanced to the fourth tier a few days earlier.


    "I''m still not a fifth tier spirit imperial master," Blaze Regret shook his head in disappointment. Just as the thought of leaving the Hundred Spirit Pool surfaced in his mind, his gaze suddenly shifted downward. In the dark waters of the energy pool, something seemed to be moving upward.

 Chapter 250 Awake

    Instantly, his expression turned serious.A formidable force surged from the darkness below. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slightly clenched its fist, gathering silvery spiritual energy, while a faint wisp of flame swirled around Red''s wide open eyes.


    "Whoosh!"


    A dazzling light shadow, accompanied by the crisp sound of a deer''s call, suddenly rushed upward. Its lightning fast speed caused ripples to form in the previously calm energy pool.


    With a slight squint, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros reacted instinctively, delivering a powerful punch filled with wild strength. Simultaneously, two pale yellow beams of flame shot forth from Red''s pupils.


    "Bang!"


    A brilliant sphere appeared around the light shadow. As the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and Red''s attacks landed, the sphere crashed heavily against the stone wall, shattering with a crack, gradually revealing the figure within.


    It was a magnificent light deer, adorned with patterns that shimmered with bright, radiant beauty. On its head sprouted a pair of crescent like antlers, around which subtle streams of light danced.


    "Moonlight Antler Deer, eighth rank Imperial grade!" Blaze Regret''s heart trembled. He had always assumed that there were no light energy beings beneath the Hundred Spirit Pool, but the appearance of the Moonlight Antler Deer shattered his assumptions.


    It turned out that there were indeed energy bodies below; their strength simply surpassed Blaze Regret''s perception, making them undetectable.


    "To fight or to flee?" Blaze Regret''s eyes were resolute. The Moonlight Antler Deer would not be easy to deal with, and engaging it might provoke even stronger energy bodies, making escape difficult.


    "Little one, there''s a restriction below; energy bodies beyond the eighth rank cannot break through it forcibly." The voice of Master Magi suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "Master Magi, you''re awake?" Blaze Regret exclaimed joyfully.


    "It''s still early. I was startled awake by something inside the Moonlight Antler Deer. No matter what, you must find a way to obtain it," Master Magi''s voice gradually weakened.


    "Master Magi, Master Magi?" Blaze Regret felt speechless, thinking Master Magi had truly awakened, only to find it was just a momentary excitement.


    However, since Master Magi had spoken, the Moonlight Antler Deer had to be killed.


    "Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Red, join forces and make sure to slay it," Blaze Regret commanded sharply, raising his head.


    Nodding slightly, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros unleashed a punch, its surging silver spiritual energy tearing through the energy pool''s water, pressing fiercely towards the Moonlight Antler Deer. Beside it, Red immediately used its strongest spiritual technique, forming a sharp light wheel with four fiery spike rings to slash at the deer.


    "Yoo!"


    A clear deer call sounded from the Moonlight Antler Deer''s mouth. It slightly lowered its head, and between its antlers, a brilliant white light rapidly condensed, transforming into a beam imbued with annihilating energy, slicing through the air to clash with the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and Red''s assault.


    "Bang!"


    Instantly, the energy pool''s water surged violently. Above the pool, a water column shot up, leaving Jack Mana beside it wide eyed in astonishment.


    With a swift movement, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros approached the Moonlight Antler Deer, its clenched fist emanating powerful waves, crashing down like lightning. The immense force parted the energy pool''s water with that single punch.


    Lifting its eyelids slightly, the Moonlight Antler Deer coldly observed the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Several radiant moon blades appeared around it, their sharp slicing sound forcing the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros to retreat instantly.


    "Clang!"


    Just as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros was pushed back, several crystalline flame pillars pierced down around the Moonlight Antler Deer, seemingly unobstructed, penetrating through its body and embedding deeply into the rock wall.


    "Not injured?" Stay updated via empire


    Blaze Regret was surprised to see the Moonlight Antler Deer unharmed, but then a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Something''s not right. Although it doesn''t show any obvious wounds, its glow has dimmed slightly. It''s not very noticeable, but with a few more attacks, we can wear it down eventually."


    Sure enough, as Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros launched a fierce barrage of attacks, the Moonlight Antler Deer''s body visibly dimmed, and its crescent shaped antlers lost their original luster.


    "Yoo!"


    An angry deer cry erupted as a surge of energy burst from the Moonlight Antler Deer. In front of it, a dazzling full moon about a yard in size took shape, with the image of a small roaring Moonlight Antler Deer carved on its surface. A sharp aura emanated from the moon.


    Seeing this, Red quickly retreated. The Moonlight Antler Deer''s strength was four ranks higher, capable of easily defeating it. The sharp aura from the moon alone left small blood marks on Red''s skin.


    Standing in front of Red, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros coldly stared at the moon. A roaring rhinoceros condensed on its right fist as it launched a powerful punch, transforming into a formidable shockwave.


    Feeling the intense waves from the front, the Moonlight Antler Deer swung its antlers. The moon, capable of slicing through gemstones, emitted a brilliant light, aiming to cleave through the shockwave.


    "Boom!"


    At the moment of collision, powerful energy ripples spread in all directions. The moon, after a brief standoff, developed cracks at the point of contact and trembled before shattering completely in the shockwave.


    "Whoosh!"


    The rhino shockwave, now dimmed from energy depletion, struck the Moonlight Antler Deer hard, smashing its body into the rock wall. Stones shattered rapidly behind it, creating what looked like a black tunnel in the wall, into which the invisible energy pool water quickly flowed.


    Observing the massive destruction caused by the shockwave, Blaze Regret was amazed. Despite being only sixth rank, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, with its true dragon bloodline, was a force even some eighth rank spirit beasts couldn''t withstand.


    Blaze Regret quickly entered the tunnel. The Moonlight Antler Deer''s remains flickered briefly before transforming into pure energy, flowing into Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.

 Chapter 251 Expose Identity

    Two consecutive "bang" sounds echoed, and unexpectedly, Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros both broke through by one rank at the same time. Blaze Regret naturally became a fifth rank spirit Imperial master as well."What is this?"


    Blaze Regret looked at a brilliant lotus petal on the ground, furrowing his brows. He then slightly clenched his hand, and with a pulling force, he drew it into his grasp.


    "Never mind, when Master Magi wakes up again, perhaps we''ll find out."


    After studying it for a while, Blaze Regret helplessly stored the lotus petal in his Void realms stone and then looked up at the area above the Hundred Spirit Pool.


    Since he had already advanced to a fifth rank spirit Imperial master, it was time to expedite the ripening of the seeds of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass.


    Standing on the edge of the Hundred Spirit Pool, Jack Mana watched with uncertainty as the energy filled pool splashed up into a pillar of water, its violent waves sweeping outwards and shaking the surrounding trees, causing leaves to rustle down.


    Moments later, the turbulent energy pool finally calmed down. Jack Mana pursed his lips and cautiously cast his gaze into it.


    "Swish!"


    At that moment, a young man in a black robe suddenly leaped out of the pool, landing on one knee on the rocky ground. He then gently took a breath and slowly stood up. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Young friend, have you broken through?" Jack Mana stared intently at Blaze Regret, exclaiming in shock.


    "The light attribute energy in the Hundred Spirit Pool is extremely pure, and since my level is relatively low, breaking through was quite easy." Blaze Regret nodded faintly.


    Jack Mana swallowed lightly, filled with disbelief. He recalled how it had taken him a full year to advance from a third level spirit Imperial master to a fifth level one, yet Blaze Regret had completed his breakthrough in just a few days. This Hundred Spirit Pool was even more formidable than he had imagined!


    "So, about the Hundred Spirit Pool..." Jack Mana''s expression changed slightly as he hesitantly asked.


    "It will probably take about half a year to recover. Of course, if you hire a formation master to set up a spirit gathering formation above the pool, it might only take about a month for the energy bodies inside to condense again. However, this Hundred Spirit Pool will likely enter a dormant state again in less than a quarter of an hour." Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.


    Upon hearing this, Jack Mana''s expression became quite complex.


    Hiring a formation master to set up a spirit gathering formation would cost at most ten thousand gold coins and would be permanent. Although the spirit gathering formation doesn''t have much effect on a spirit master''s cultivation, it is quite suitable for the Hundred Spirit Pool.


    However, the Polar Day Pill was nowhere to be found, unless...


    At this thought, Jack Mana raised his head and looked at Blaze Regret with a dry expression.


    "Young friend, just say what you want to do." Jack Mana sighed.


    As long as he could use the Hundred Spirit Pool, he could successfully advance to a spirit lord within a year. By then, the Jack family would regain its former glory, and as long as they had the Polar Day Pill, the Hundred Spirit Pool could be used indefinitely. In his lifetime, even breaking through to the spirit King realm wouldn''t be out of the question.


    Thinking of that powerful word, Jack Mana couldn''t help but shiver, a trace of excitement flaring up in his eyes.


    "With my current strength, it seems like you might not be much help," Blaze Regret said, gently rubbing his face, as if he was starting to ponder.


    Seeing this, Jack Mana''s expression became anxious. Whether he could seize this opportunity to soar depended entirely on the young man''s mood.


    "By the way, your Jack family is responsible for the spirit core trade at Bloodstone Pass, right?" Blaze Regret asked softly, with a sudden spark of interest.


    "That''s right. Any major city around Bloodstone Pass that wants to enter this market needs to deal with the Jack family first," Jack Mana replied with a hint of pride.


    Despite the decline of the Jack family, the network they had built over the years was exceptionally solid. Any family wishing to engage in the spirit core trade here needed to pay their respects to the Jack family first; otherwise, even a spirit Imperial master would find themselves powerless.


    After all, there was more than one spirit Imperial master who had favorable relations with the Jack family due to the spirit core trade.


    Understanding this, Blaze Regret gave Jack Mana a peculiar look. Having access to such powerful resources yet failing to capitalize on them highlighted the fact that personal strength was indeed the most reliable asset.


    "By the way, which families do the Jack family specifically deal with?" Blaze Regret asked after some thought.


    "The Lin family from Black Rock City, the Snow family from Velorian City, and the Kun family from Pingyan City," Jack Mana quickly revealed. All these families had spirit Lord masters, and he dismissed those who were weaker.


    "The Snow family..." Blaze Regret almost laughed. Although he couldn''t currently match Snow Fazlin, it was a tempting opportunity to make things difficult for him. Enjoy new tales from empire


    "Abandon the Snow family and transfer their resources to the Blaze family in Velorian City. In return, I can craft ten Polar Day Pills for you," Blaze Regret suggested slowly.


    "Are you from the Blaze family?"


    Jack Mana seemed to remember something and widened his eyes before shaking his head with a wry smile. "No problem, but ten Polar Day Pills will only last a few years at most."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll be back," Blaze Regret reassured him.


    He''s not fool; why make things perfect all at once? Although crafting second grade pills poses no challenge to him now and the difference between making ten or a hundred is merely a matter of time, as long as the Jack family has needs, they will be tightly bound to him.

 Chapter 252

    After a brief moment of contemplation, Jack Mana nodded firmly. As long as he could become a spirit Lord master, the future of Bloodstone Pass would be controlled by the Jack family and the Blood seal Sect. Perhaps even the Blood seal Sect could...Thinking of such a scenario, Jack Mana''s eyes flashed with excitement, and his resentment towards Blaze Regret for breaking Jack Nan''s legs diminished significantly.


    "In that case, Master Jack, please wait a moment."


    With a light laugh, Blaze Regret flicked his black robe and sat cross legged. A pill cauldron appeared in front of him, and a light yellow flame suddenly flared up from it.


    The brilliantly shining Aurora Grass was casually tossed into the cauldron by Blaze Regret, and after a short while, an Polar Day Pill was refined. The calm and effortless manner in which he worked left Jack Mana in awe.


    "A third grade alchemist!" Jack Mana murmured softly.


    A second grade alchemist clearly couldn''t produce an Polar Day Pill so quickly, and even if they could, there would be a significant failure rate. Yet in Blaze Regret''s hands, it was as easy as eating or drinking.


    The only explanation was that this young man''s alchemy skills had surpassed the second grade level.


    Watching Blaze Regret place the Polar Day Pills on the ground one by one, Jack Mana felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Even though this young man''s strength might not be high, his superior alchemy skills would make even the Blood seal Sect lower themselves to curry favor with him.


    If it had been the Blood seal Sect instead of him, the Jack family might have been drenched in blood by now.


    "Nan''er, Nan''er, do you realize you almost brought disaster upon the Jack family?" Jack Mana thought, his throat dry, as he silently vowed never to let Jack Nan step outside the family estate again.


    "Master Jack, the method to use the Polar Day Pills is very simple. Just crush them and sprinkle them evenly into the Hundred Spirit Pool."


    A quarter of an hour later, Blaze Regret stood up, brushed the dust off his black robe, and handed all ten Polar Day Pills to Jack Mana with a smile.


    "Rest assured, young friend. The Snow family won''t set foot in my Jack family again!" Jack Mana accepted the pills, repeatedly assuring him.


    "Roar!"


    Suddenly, Red, who was curled up on the ground, twitched its small ears, its serious gaze fixed on the distance. There, a figure, her clothes stained with blood, was fleeing in panic, with several laughing men in pursuit.


    "Blaze Qistina!"


    Seeing that figure, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned, and then an unmistakable surge of furious killing intent erupted on his face.


    On the desolate rocky ground, Blaze Qistina used all her strength to run quickly. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the young men pursuing her, and a trace of despair surged on her pretty face.


    "Hehe, stop running. Come back with us obediently, and you might suffer a little less," one of the young men laughed wildly, looking at Blaze Qistina''s back.


    "In your dreams!" Blaze Qistina shouted angrily without a second thought, which only resulted in more mocking laughter.


    "Brothers, since this little girl doesn''t know what''s good for her, we''ll have to use force. But be careful, she''s someone the young master specifically asked for, so don''t hurt her!" The leading young man turned his head and laughed, though his smile carried a hint of ambiguity.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as the young man finished speaking, six thick, sharp wooden stakes whistled through the air, piercing the sky and instantly trapping Blaze Qistina''s forward moving body inside.


    Seeing the sudden shadows descending before her, Blaze Qistina''s face changed, and she quickly stopped, her gaze shifting to the few people walking toward her with sinister smiles, her face turning pale.


    "Why don''t you listen when we speak nicely?" The leading young man smiled as he scrutinized Blaze Qistina, his hand brushing his waist, revealing a sturdy long rope in his palm.


    Seeing this, Blaze Qistina''s eyes turned red. She knew very well the tragic fate that awaited her if she fell into their hands. Tears welled up in her eyes.


    "Don''t cry. Our young master will treat you well."


    The leading young man spread his hands in feigned helplessness. Suddenly, his gaze caught sight of a black robed youth walking over slowly, and his voice turned extremely unfriendly: "Kid, can''t you see I''m busy here? If you don''t want to die, you''d better get lost!"

    Looking at the helpless Blaze Qistina through the gaps between the stakes, Blaze Regret suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Clenching his fist, an ice blade appeared and, with a swishing sound, sliced through one of the thick wooden stakes.


    "Cousin?" Blaze Qistina was slightly dazed upon seeing the sudden figure. Was she hallucinating?


    Blaze Regret didn''t speak. Instead, he pursed his lips and lifted his foot, kicking all the surrounding wooden stakes away with a thud.


    "Are you okay?" Blaze Regret turned his head, revealing a gentle smile.


    Blinking, Blaze Qistina finally realized that the black robed youth in front of her was indeed her cousin, Blaze Regret. Though they hadn''t seen each other for over a year, his face now bore more determination and composure.


    "Kid, if you''re going to play the hero, you better know your limits. Do you have any idea who you''re offending?" the young man said ominously, staring at Blaze Regret.


    "I only know that you are dead men," Blaze Regret replied coldly. A pale yellow shadow suddenly darted from afar, flashing through the scene like lightning, as blood spurted into the air.


    "You..." The young man clutched his throat, staring incredulously at Blaze Regret. Moments later, he collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on.


    "Swish!"


    Stopping by Blaze Regret''s leg, Red wagged its three pale yellow tail, looking at Blaze Qistina with a mischievous grin.

    "Is this... Red?" Blaze Qistina''s eyes flickered with surprise and doubt. This didn''t quite look like the Fire Cat, yet she felt a familiar aura from this fire Cat."Yes, this is Red. But how did you end up here, and who are these people?" Blaze Regret asked with a frown.


    "They are all members of the Stun Family."


    Mentioning this brought a mistiness to Blaze Qistina''s eyes again. "At noon, I was with the Great Elder escorting supplies when we encountered a rare Grass Crystal Flower. Just as I was about to successfully form a contract with it, Stun kiu from the Stun Family suddenly showed up with people, demanding I break the spirit contract and hand over the Grass Crystal Flower to him.


    The Great Elder was outraged and fought them, which led to this mess."


    "You mean the Great Elder is still fighting with the Stun Family?" Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned sharp, a chilling intent flashing quickly within them.


    "Cousin, one of them is an eighth level spirit Imperial master. We should hurry back to Velorian City to get reinforcements!" Blaze Qistina said anxiously.


    "It''s too late," Blaze Regret replied, glancing at Red. Understanding the clue, Red''s body expanded to the size of a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat and crouched in front of the two.


    "Cousin, are you going to..." Before Blaze Qistina could finish her sentence, she found herself lifted onto Red''s back, the cold wind howling past as they sped forward.


    "Don''t worry, I''ve got this," Blaze Regret reassured her softly when he noticed her tense expression.


    Hearing this, Blaze Qistina could only purse her lips. Although she wasn''t sure what Blaze Regret had up his sleeve to face an eighth level spirit Imperial master, she had no choice but to trust him at this moment.


    As ancient trees whizzed by, Blaze Regret followed the direction Blaze Qistina indicated and soon saw a forest. At the forest''s edge stood nearly ten figures clad in blood red robes, seemingly guarding something.


    "People from the Blood Seal Sect. What are they doing here?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly as he looked ahead. It seemed today''s situation was more complicated than he had initially thought.


    "Cousin, the one at the front is Ken Aishi from the Blood seal Sect. He''s quite well known at Bloodstone Pass, but he wasn''t here before," Blaze Qistina said quickly, slightly taken aback.


    "The Blood Seal Sect is conducting business here. No unauthorized personnel allowed!" Ken Aishi barked, his eyes darkening.


    "My friend, I have an urgent matter, please make an exception," Blaze Regret said, holding back his impatience as he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.


    In the past, he wouldn''t have been so accommodating, but with Blaze Peter in danger, wasting any time could lead to unimaginable consequences.


    "There are plenty of people who want favors; why should I care about you?" Ken Aishi sneered and turned away, unwilling to pay Blaze Regret any more attention.


    A cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he suppressed his anger. With a flick of his hand, he sent a gold card containing a hundred thousand gold coins flying toward Ken Aishi''s position.


    "Oh?" Ken Aishi caught it with a backhand, and upon detecting the large amount of gold stored within, his eyes lit up. Even he couldn''t help but be tempted by such a substantial sum.


    "So you''re rich?" Ken Aishi looked at Blaze Regret with a peculiar expression. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "My friend, please grant me this favor," Blaze Regret repeated, cupping his hands again, his voice urgent.


    "Granting a favor isn''t impossible, but you''ll need to give me another million gold coins," Ken Aishi said with a grin, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were a lamb ready for slaughter.


    Blaze Regret''s fist clenched tightly, and his pent up anger finally erupted overwhelmingly.


    "Screw you!"


    "I''ll take you on, you old hag!"


    Hearing this voice filled with murderous intent, Ken Aishi and his fellow disciples from the Blood Seal Sect were momentarily stunned. With their status, they were accustomed to acting arrogantly within the Blood Stone Pass, and had never been scolded to their faces like this before.


    Regaining his composure, Ken Aishi looked at Blaze Regret, his face instantly darkening.


    "Swish!"


    Before he could get angry, a fierce gust of wind tore through the air from the front. The sharp claws of the Threr Tail Sun Blaze Cat glistened with a lethal gleam, striking menacingly at Ken Aishi''s vital points.


    "Courting death!" Ken Aishi''s face suddenly turned grim. His hands quickly formed seals, and tiny, cold snowflakes scattered before him. A heavy shadow appeared out of thin air, striking the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat''s body and sending it flying.


    It was a massive snow tortoise, about a approx. 3.3 meters in size. Its crystalline shell covered its body, and as the snowflakes drifted around it, even the air seemed to freeze.


    "A seventh level high rank Imperial grade Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise." Blaze Regret''s expression changed slightly. This was the kind of spirit beast he feared encountering the most. Its attack power wasn''t strong, but its defense was terrifyingly high. He couldn''t afford to be delayed any longer.


    "Though I don''t know what urgent matter you have, as long as I''m here, you''ll never get past," Ken Aishi sneered maliciously. Just thinking about how this kid might regret it for the rest of his life because of him gave Ken Aishi a sense of vengeful satisfaction.


    Seeing this, the other disciples of the Blood Seal Sect also released their spirit beasts, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were just a toy.


    "Bang!"


    The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, repelled by the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, traced a parabolic path and landed stumbling on the ground. Just as it was about to charge again, a silver figure stomped onto the ground, with such force that the very ground seemed to tremble.


    Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Ken Aishi and the others'' pupils contracted. A slightly ominous feeling surged in their hearts; they might have bitten off more than they could chew this time.

 Chapter 254

    "Think carefully, we''re from the Blood Seal Sect!" Ken Aishi, despite feeling somewhat intimidated, still shouted with false bravado."Roar!"


    Before Ken Aishi''s voice could fall, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros charged forward with heavy steps, transforming into a silver shadow. Its clenched fist, brimming with immense energy, fiercely struck the shell of the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise.


    Meanwhile, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat darted swiftly, every swipe of its claws claiming the life of a spirit beast. Except for Ken Aishi, the other Blood Seal Sect members were merely average in strength and could only be quickly defeated by it.


    "Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, Melting Snow Cannon!" Ken Aishi shouted urgently, sensing the tremendous force in the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist. He couldn''t hold anything back in front of this terrifying rock type spirit beast.


    The Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise extended its head from its shell, opening its mouth as pure white snowflake energy rapidly gathered. In an instant, it transformed into a cannonball like snowball, shattering the air as it charged toward the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Boom!"


    With a slight narrowing of its eyes, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist struck out forcefully, and the seemingly formidable snow cannon exploded instantly. A misty snowflake shockwave covered a radius of a hundred meters.


    Seeing his attack quickly neutralized, Ken Aishi''s eyelid twitched violently. At that moment, he finally realized the vast gap between himself and Blaze Regret. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But it seemed too late...


    Rushing to the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s expression turned cold. Its clenched fist, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, crashed down mercilessly. Even the air seemed to scream under the force of the punch.


    "Use the Snow Crystal Mirror Wall!" Ken Aishi shouted anxiously.


    Just as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s lethal punch was about to land, the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise''s body trembled violently. Mirror like crystal walls rapidly formed around it, connecting to form a solid shield that kept it securely protected.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist smashed against the mirror wall, causing the ground beneath the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise to collapse. A fierce energy surged out, clearing away all the surrounding rocks and dry leaves.


    As the dust settled, Blaze Regret''s expression darkened slightly. The mirror walls around the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise were as bright as new. After releasing the Snow Crystal Mirror Wall, its defense was no less than that of some ninth level Imperial grade spirit beasts.


    Although the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s strength could eventually break through, it was clearly something Blaze Regret was reluctant to do.


    The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat spun in mid air, its sharp tail slicing the last spirit beast into two before it landed steadily beside the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    As for the Blood Seal Sect members, they stared blankly at the numerous corpses on the ground, their expressions as if they were mourning a great loss. Soon, their eyes, filled with murderous intent, all turned toward Blaze Regret.


    "Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, lift that snow tortoise."


    Ignoring the hostile stares, Blaze Regret pondered for a moment and spoke calmly.


    "Roar!"


    The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat nodded slightly before its figure flashed to the side of the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise. Its sharp Threr tail plunged deeply into the soil and then lifted upwards, creating a small gap between the tortoise and the ground.


    Seeing this, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros extended its hands, grasped the bottom of the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, and forcefully lifted it, hoisting its entire body into the air.


    "Hurry, use the Sound Transmission Conch to inform the Second Elder to kill this kid!" one of the Blood Seal Sect members shouted angrily.


    "Yes, as soon as the Second Elder arrives, this kid will be dead for sure!"


    A cold glint flashed in the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes as it grabbed the massive Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise and mercilessly hurled it at the person who had first spoken. With a loud thud, a mist of blood exploded in the air.


    Blood splattered on their faces, and the Blood Seal Sect members were momentarily stunned. Then, an unmistakable look of terror suddenly appeared on their faces.


    "Run!"


    However, as soon as the voice was heard, there was no further movement. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros continued to wield the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, relentlessly smashing it against the Blood Seal Sect members. Instantly, clouds of blood mist mixed with snowflakes burst on the ground.


    "Stop! Which family are you from? If you have the guts, report your name. My Blood Seal Sect will make you pay!" Ken Aishi snarled with a twisted expression.


    "No chance for that," Blaze Regret said, brushing the snowflakes off his shoulders. He cast a cold glance at Ken Aishi before swiftly pulling Blaze Qistina along as they dashed into the forest.


    Behind them, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros caught Ken Aishi''s twisted face in its peripheral vision. It hefted the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise like a massive boulder and brought it crashing down.


    "Boom!"


    Blood splattered everywhere as Ken Aishi''s body was slammed into the ground. With a roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros unleashed a shockwave from its fist, piercing through the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise and the nearly lifeless Ken Aishi.


    A faint white smoke drifted from the round hole in the tortoise''s hard shell.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros cracked its knuckles without a backward glance, its thick tail swaying as it followed in the direction Blaze Regret had gone.


    The forest edge returned to silence, with only the lingering thin mist of blood hinting at the ferocity of the recent battle.


    This is a rather expansive rocky wasteland, with enormous rocks densely embedded in the soil. In the middle of these rocks, a few figures can be vaguely seen. Lightning bursts forth from them, shooting straight into the sky.


    (If you like this novel support it by gift, power stone)

 Chapter 255

    The source of the lightning is a burly thunder ape, and in front of it is a shark suspended in the air. However, the surface of the shark''s body is covered with dense scars. Each time the thunder ape punches, the shark rapidly retreats, blood dripping down, looking quite miserable.The thunder ape, named Thunder Lock Ape, is an eighth level high grade Imperial grade spiri beast with immense power. The shark being suppressed by it, named Frenzy Tooth Shark, also possesses eighth level high grade Imperial grade strength, but due to the restraint between their attributes, it has no power to fight back.


    "Old man, stop struggling. Surrender willingly, and perhaps I can spare your life for the sake of your granddaughter," said a young man named Stun Kiu, standing proudly in front of many members of the Stun family. He spoke leisurely with a calm demeanor, as if he had already secured victory over Blaze Qistina.


    "Dream on! How can a waste like you be worthy of my granddaughter?" Blaze Wahab''s eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.


    "There''s nothing I can do then. Old Hong, finish off that Frenzy Tooth Shark," Stun Kiu said with a light smile, flicking the ash from his fingertips.


    The elder referred to as Old Hong nodded slightly upon hearing this. He opened his palm, and a violent spiritual seal condensed, then gently pressed in the direction of the Thunder Lock Ape.


    "Roar!"


    With a skyward roar, the Thunder Lock Ape clenched its fist, gathering brilliant lightning, and then swung a magnificent arc of light heavily onto the body of the Frenzy Tooth Shark.


    A muffled sound spread as the Frenzy Tooth Shark, under that terrifying force, was knocked back and crashed solidly into the rocks, blood flowing from its mouth like a stream.


    "Give it the final blow," Stun Pong''s voice sounded faintly.


    With eyes flashing with bloodlust, the Thunder Lock Ape grabbed with its hand, a blinding ball of lightning suddenly appearing between its fingers, then it fiercely struck at the Frenzy Tooth Shark''s head.


    "Stun Pong, aren''t you afraid of the Blaze family''s revenge?" Blaze Wahab shouted angrily, veins bulging on the back of his hand.


    Upon hearing this, Stun Pong''s eyelids twitched slightly.


    Even though they were doing well in Bloodstone Pass, the strongest member of the Tan family was just a ninth tier spirit Imperial master. If Blaze Ash really came knocking, the Stun family would likely suffer a significant blow.


    "Revenge? If we kill all of you, who will the Blaze family take revenge on?" Stun Kiu laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "To tell you the truth, I never intended to keep your precious granddaughter alive. Once I get the Grass Crystal Flower, who would care about her life or death?"


    Feeling the violent energy in the Thunder Lock Ape''s claws, Blaze Wahab sighed deeply. Was he really going to meet his end here at Bloodstone Pass?

    As the Thunder Lock Ape eyed the dying Frenzy Tooth Shark, it grinned and brought its fierce, wind laden palm down hard.


    Seeing this, Stun Kiu''s lips curled into a mocking smile.


    "Swoosh!"


    Just as the Thunder Lock Ape''s fist was about to crush the Frenzy Tooth Shark, a scorching gust suddenly swept in from afar. Stun Kiu frowned, just about to voice his anger, when a figure leaping through the air caused his expression to change drastically.


    "Boom!"


    With one foot, Blaze Regret stomped Stun Kiu''s head into the ground. He turned his gaze to Stun Pong and shouted sternly, "Stop!"


    The sudden turn of events left Stun Pong''s face ashen, and the Thunder Lock Ape''s fist halted just an inch from the Frenzy Tooth Shark''s face.


    The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.


    "Blaze... Blaze Regret?"


    Seeing the black robed young man, Blaze Wahab trembled all over, his face full of disbelief, and his voice, trembling slightly from excitement.


    Due to years of business travel, he seldom returned to Sun Moon City, and the last time he saw Blaze Regret was before his spiritual awakening. When he learned that his grandson''s spiritual sense was only a Flame Cat, he had sighed for a long time.


    Although Blaze Qistina had later told him much, it was hard for him to believe without seeing it with his own eyes.


    In his heart, Blaze Regret was still just the little boy who liked to follow him around and cause trouble. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Great Elder, don''t you recognize me?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a gentle smile, but upon seeing the scars on the Frenzy Tooth Shark, that smile gradually faded, replaced by a sharp chill rapidly gathering in his eyes.


    "What are you? Get off me now!"


    With Blaze Regret''s foot on his head, Stun Kiu''s eyes flared with anger. He struggled but couldn''t get up.


    "Shut up." Blaze Regret''s gaze turned cold as he increased the pressure under his foot, causing Stun Kiu to cry out in pain.


    "Are you from the Blaze family?" Stun Pong''s face was dark. If he weren''t afraid of Blaze Regret crushing Stun Kiu''s head, he would have already commanded the Thunder Lock Ape to tear Blaze Regret to pieces.


    "A Stun family without even a spirit lord master dares to be so arrogant. You all have some nerve." Blaze Regret stared icily at Stun Pong. Behind him, Red carried an out of breath Blaze Qistina over.


    Following closely, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros also stepped forward heavily. In its grasp were several surviving members of the Stun family, who cried out for help upon seeing Stun Pong.


    However, with a slight flick, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros sent them tumbling in parabolas, landing them beside Stun Pong, barely alive.


    "You''re something else." Stun Pong''s voice carried a hint of chilling murderous intent.


    From the looks of it, Blaze Regret had already dealt with all the nearby Tan family members. This ruthless method of dealing with things left Stun Pong apprehensive; if this young man wasn''t eliminated, he could bring considerable trouble to the Stun family''s future.

 Chapter 256

    "I''ll give you three seconds to remove your foot." Stun Pong''s icy voice rang out, as the Thunder Lock Ape''s lightning wreathed hand hovered over the Frenzy Tooth Shark''s head, poised to smash it to pieces with a single slap.Seeing this, Blaze Wahab''s eyes filled with urgency, yet he didn''t interrupt Blaze Regret. In his heart, both the Frenzy Tooth Shark and Blaze Regret were extremely important, and any misstep could lead to disaster here.


    After all, Stun Pong was a true eighth tier spirit Imperial master!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerously curved smile slowly formed on his lips.


    "Senior Stun Pong, it seems my intentions were not made clear."


    Upon hearing the voice coming from nearby, Stun Pong couldn''t help but frown. In his plan, as long as the Thunder Lock Ape made a move to kill the Frenzied Tooth Shark, Blaze Regret''s momentum would definitely weaken, allowing Stun kiu to escape. However, the indifferent expression on the latter''s face left him somewhat puzzled.


    "Heh, so the Blaze Family is full of such beastly people, not even caring about the life or death of their elders," Stun Pong suppressed the unease in his heart and sneered.


    No matter what tricks Blaze Regret was trying to play, as soon as the Thunder Lock Ape''s punch landed, the surging lightning would certainly rush through the water towards Blaze Wahab''s spiritual portal, instantly killing him.


    "Senior Stun Pong, don''t you think using such reverse psychology is rather foolish?" Blaze Regret slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile.


    "Old Pong, this kid is just bluffing. Kill the Frenzied Tooth Shark and capture that old thing Blaze Wahab. I don''t believe he dares not to release me!" Stun kiu sneered repeatedly, his expression as if he had already seen through Blaze Regret''s tricks.


    "Oh? Is that so?" Blaze Regret smiled, gently lifted his foot, and took a few steps back.


    Seeing this, Stun Pong felt relieved, and Stun kiu quickly stood up, showing an arrogant smile on his face. See, your little schemes are of no use in front of me.


    "Bang!"


    However, the next moment, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly dashed out, its silver fist instantly tearing through the air, mercilessly smashing the smug Stun kiu into the ground.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of a skull shattering echoed clearly, and the relaxed expression on Stun Pong''s face suddenly froze.


    In the area, Blaze Qistina and Blaze Wahab were also wide eyed in shock.


    "Attack!" Stun Pong came to his senses, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and roared angrily at the Thunder Lock Ape not far away.


    "Swish!"


    Before Stun Pong''s shout could finish, a pale yellow streak of light shot out from behind the rocks like lightning. With claws as sharp as blades, it fiercely swiped towards the eyes of the Thunder Lock Ape.


    The Thunder Lock Ape''s pupils contracted slightly. Without thinking, it swung its palm upward with immense force, sending Red''s body flying dozens of meters into the air.


    Seizing the opportunity, Blaze Wahab quickly opened his spiritual portal and took in the critically injured Frenzied Tooth Shark, looking relieved.


    With a swift turn in mid air, Red landed steadily on a large rock, looking down with a mischievous grin. It made various taunting gestures at the furious Thunder Lock Ape below.


    "Kill them all for me!"


    Seeing the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist raised, stained with spots of blood, Stun Pong felt a tightness in his chest. When he returned to his clan, he would undoubtedly face the family head''s wrath. The thought of the consequences made his scalp tingle, and the cause of it all was that damned young man in the black robe.


    With an ear splitting roar, the Thunder Lock Ape raised its hand, making a grasping motion towards Red''s position. Blinding lightning transformed into several long chains of lightning, which cut through the sky with dazzling trajectories, enveloping Red from all directions.


    "Lightning Chains, huh," Blaze Regret murmured softly, his eyes shimmering with radiant lightning.


    This spiritual technique was indeed the signature move of the Thunder Lock Ape. Its massive body, while possessing immense strength, made it particularly clumsy. Therefore, when dealing with more agile spirit beasts, it would use the Lightning Chains to bind them first. Once caught, those spirit beasts would face nothing but destruction under its fists.


    As the whistling lightning chains approached, Red stuck out its tongue and then, with a swift step on the rock, darted downward with incredible speed.


    A hint of mockery flashed in its eyes, and the Thunder Lock Ape twisted its palm, causing the chains to change direction. They plunged down with a sharp whistling of the wind, tearing through the air.

    The clinking of the chains roared past its ears as Red''s body flickered, transforming into two equally sized Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat. One was directly pierced by the chain and exploded into a mass of pale yellow flames. Meanwhile, Red''s true form quickly hid behind the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, making a face at the Thunder Lock Ape.


    "Hmph!"


    With an indifferent gaze at the incoming lightning chains, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros extended its hand, grabbing one of the chains and swiftly twisting it. This maneuver wound all the chains into a spiral. As its foot stomped the ground, its hand pulled forcefully, attempting to drag the Thunder Lock Ape over.


    The moment the lightning chain was seized, rage surged in the Thunder Lock Ape''s eyes. Veins bulged on its arm like coiled dragons, and under the opposing tremendous forces, the long lightning chain became taut and tense.


    "What immense strength," Stun Pong couldn''t help but exclaim as he watched the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros standing firm like a mountain. Spirit beasts capable of matching the Thunder Lock Ape in strength were exceptionally rare. The fact that the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros could hold its ground, despite being a tier lower than the Thunder Lock Ape, was unbelievable unless witnessed firsthand.

 Chapter 257

    "Snap!"With the stalemate between the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and the Thunder Lock Ape, the taut lightning chain finally succumbed. With a crisp sound, it snapped, dispersing into dazzling sparks.


    Just as the chain broke, both the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and the Thunder Lock Ape charged forward. Their massive bodies collided instantly, roaring as their fists pummeled each other like a torrential storm. The dull, violent sounds echoed continuously.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Energy ripples spread rapidly from the two spirit beasts, causing cracks in the surrounding ground. Even the massive, sturdy rocks around them trembled slightly.


    With its left palm open, the Thunder Lock Ape blocked the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist. Its right hand clenched tightly, packing a terrifying force as it mercilessly aimed for the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s head.


    The speed was like a thunderbolt, producing a deep sonic boom as it tore through the air.


    Feeling the force behind the punch, a ripple finally appeared in the otherwise calm eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. It lifted its left arm, and the silver stone formed a shield like barrier. With a clang, it shot out from the sides of its arm, confronting the incoming punch head on.


    This was the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s only defensive spiritual technique, the Reverse Stone Rampart! sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Thud!"


    The Thunder Lock Ape''s fist landed with a deep thud, sending invisible shockwaves that exploded the surrounding air, creating a series of blasts that reverberated around them.


    Both spirit beasts shuddered slightly, and the next moment, they were sent flying backward. The ground where they had stood shattered instantly, unable to withstand the force any longer.


    "Your Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros does have some skill, but this is as far as it goes," Stun Pong said calmly.


    With his chest heaving slightly, the Thunder Lock Ape''s eyes turned fierce. It raised its right palm sharply towards the sky, and immediately, the space above it began to distort slightly. A thundercloud, spanning ten meters in diameter, rapidly formed.


    Dazzling lightning flickered and leaped beneath the thundercloud, accompanied by a rumbling sound. An extremely violent aura was contained within it.


    "Spiritual Technique, Thunder Lock Domain!"


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous roar erupted from the thunderclouds, echoing across the heavens and the earth. The Thunder Lock Ape clenched its fist, and dazzling lightning tore through the air, descending from the sky, all converging into its palm.


    At this moment, the Thunder Lock Ape''s hand expanded to nearly double its size, with brilliant lightning coursing rapidly across its surface, emitting a sizzling electric sound.


    Your journey continues with empire


    "What a powerful fluctuation," Blaze Regret observed the Thunder Lock Ape with a slight frown. The aura emanating from its palm was undoubtedly much stronger than before.


    "Countless spirit beasts and spirit masters have perished under this move. It seems today, two more will be added to that number," Stun Pong muttered softly, his tone full of pride.


    "Roar!"


    Reflected in its eyes was a dazzling light, and a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from the body of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Its hand slowly clenched at this moment, and the surrounding space appeared to fracture with cracks.


    "The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s Shattering Fist? While this spirit skill is strong, the difference in rank has already determined the outcome," Stun Pong smirked, shaking his head.


    If the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros were also at the eighth rank Imperial grade, he might be somewhat apprehensive. After all, earth attribute spirit beasts significantly suppress thunder attribute ones. However, a spirit beast like the Thunder Lock Ape can crush the bodies of spirit beasts of the same rank with sheer power, largely compensating for the attribute disadvantage.


    Dazzling lightning gathered on its fist, like a golden sun. The Thunder Lock Ape stomped its foot, causing the ground to shatter, and its body instantly charged towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    As the Thunder Lock Ape unleashed a punch, violent lightning swept forth, causing even the air to explode layer by layer.


    With a slight narrowing of its eyes, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist also struck out suddenly. A loud bang was heard as violent power ripples spread out, carving a deep crack into the hard ground.


    The two spirit beasts collided wildly on the rocky ground, and with each collision, they unleashed terrifying gusts of wind. In an instant, the rocky ground was in ruins, with even the giant boulders buried in the soil shattered into pieces.


    "What a terrifying collision!" Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina were standing behind a clear water barrier, their eyes filled with shock. The water barrier was evidently Blaze Wahab''s defensive spirit technique, and as the two spirit beasts collided fiercely, ripples spread across its surface.


    The silhouettes of the two beasts flickered rapidly, leaving afterimages across the field. The angry roars and heavy thuds echoed over the rocky ground, the sheer violence of the spectacle was a shock to the senses.


    "Damn it, what''s going on with that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros? It''s actually withstanding the Thunder Lock Ape''s successive attacks!"


    Watching the increasingly courageous Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Stun Pong''s expression gradually turned grim. The Thunder Lock Ape''s explosive power was supported by the Thunder Lock Domain, but as time passed, the amplification from the domain was clearly diminishing. If this continued, it wouldn''t be long before the Thunder Lock Ape would be defeated.


    "Thunder Lock Ape, use the Thunder Gathering Palm!" Stun Pong gritted his teeth and shouted.


    The Thunder Gathering Palm was a spirit skill where the Thunder Lock Ape gathered the entire Thunder Lock Domain into its palm. Though it could unleash a more terrifying power than usual, the backlash was equally severe.


    Thus, unless absolutely necessary, the Thunder Lock Ape would not use this skill.


    At this moment, with the lightning on its palm gradually dimming, the Thunder Lock Ape had no other choice.


    A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as the Thunder Lock Ape quickly retreated, spreading its fur covered hand towards the sky. The swirling thunderclouds seemed to be drawn in, rushing down to gather in its palm. The violent energy caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

 Chapter 258 Dark Nether Pearl

    "Using your trump card, are you?" Blaze Regret observed, exhaling softly. He had no doubt that if the Thunder Lock Ape''s palm struck down, even some eighth rank Imperial grade spirit beasts could potentially explode on the spot.As spiritual energy rippled around its fist, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its face, eyeing the Thunder Lock Ape whose aura was surging. Suddenly, a faint dragon seal appeared on its fist, accompanied by a low dragon roar echoing softly.


    "Ancestral return!" Stun Pong stared at the dragon seal, a look of shock rising on his face. Blaze Regret''s Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros actually contained the bloodline of a true dragon!


    "Boom!"


    As Stun Pong was in shock, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly burst forth with a sonic boom from beneath its feet, charging forward. Its fist, carrying the dragon seal, struck the Thunder Lock Ape''s palm like a spear, causing dazzling lightning to scatter in all directions. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    The Thunder Lock Ape spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung backward in a disheveled manner. The lightning in its palm dissipated instantly, and its heavy body shattered several rocks before embedding straight into the ground.


    Maintaining its punching posture, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros gazed indifferently. After a moment, a trickle of blood finally appeared at the corner of its mouth, and the silver armor on its fist shattered with a crack, with drops of blood falling steadily.


    Clearly, although the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros defeated the Thunder Lock Ape, it also suffered significant injuries. The victory was not as easy as it might have seemed.


    As the cold wind blew, the Thunder Lock Ape''s exposed body lay limp, and the rocky ground fell silent. Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina were filled with disbelief, and not far away, Stun Pong trembled.


    "My Thunder Lock Ape actually lost..." Stun Pong shuddered internally and, without thinking, attempted to flee, knowing well the consequences if he fell into Blaze Regret''s hands.


    However, just as he took a few steps, a pale yellow figure pinned him to the ground, its sharp gaze unblinking, as if he were being stared down by death itself.


    Watching Stun Pong immobilized, Blaze Wahab was slightly dazed, finding it hard to believe as he glanced at Blaze Regret. This youngster, whom he had seen as just a child, had grown to such an extent.


    As for Blaze Qistina, her expression was even more complex. She once thought that breaking through to a spirit Warrior master at her age was a sign of genius, but compared to Blaze Regret, she realized she was far from it.


    "Elder Stun Pong, I''m curious. What is it about this place that has brought both the Stun family and the Blood Seal Sect here?" Blaze Regret approached Stun Pong, slowly crouching down, his gaze calm as he looked at Stun Pong''s fierce face.


    "I''ll tell you, I''m an elder of the Stun family. If anything happens to me, none of you will leave this Bloodstone Pass!" Stun Pong roared through clenched teeth.


    "I even dared to kill Stun kiu, let alone an elder like you. Besides, if I kill all of you, who would know it was me?" Blaze Regret mimicked Stun Pong''s manner, shrugging helplessly.


    "You..." Stun Pong was about to curse, but a massive foot came down unceremoniously. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros looked on calmly, as if it were about to crush nothing more than an ant.


    "The Dark Nether Pearl, it''s the Dark Nether Pearl!"


    Stun Pong''s expression changed drastically, fear surging within him. Without a second thought, a bead shrouded in sinister energy appeared in his palm.


    He had no doubt that if he continued to be untruthful, he would soon be reduced to a pile of indistinguishable flesh.


    Seeing the black bead in Stun Pong''s hand, Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.


    It seemed like he had stumbled upon something valuable.


    The Dark Nether Pearl, shrouded in ominous energy, lay quietly in Blaze Regret''s palm. He felt the chilling aura emanating from it, causing his entire arm to tremble slightly.


    "This orb is so strange," Blaze Qistina said, her big, bright eyes wide open. Her slender fingers lightly touched the Dark Nether Pearl, but the swiftly coiling ominous energy made her quickly withdraw her hand.


    "Great Elder, do you recognize this thing?" Blaze Regret held the Dark Nether Pearl up to Blaze Wahab, who, after pondering for a moment, shook his head. Even though he had been in the Bloodstone Pass for many years, he had never heard of the Dark Nether Pearl.


    "Heh, don''t bother. This orb was born from the Dark Nether Abyss, and people from the outside world have no way of knowing about it," Stun Pong sneered at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with mockery.


    "Oh, so you know then?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly. With a twist of his wrist, several crystalline ice blades plunged straight into Stun Pong''s thigh. The intense pain instantly froze the mockery in his eyes.


    Following that, a piercing scream erupted from Stun Pong''s mouth, echoing fiercely across the rocky terrain.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s sharp actions, Blaze Qistina''s eyes twitched slightly. She had only seen such ruthless tactics in some strong individuals. Meanwhile, Blaze Wahab sighed in relief, feeling proud that his grandson had grown up.


    Despite his continuous screams, Stun Pong showed no signs of loosening his tongue. Seeing this, Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows, opened his palm, and several more ice blades quickly formed, their sharp gleams gently flashing under the sunlight.


    "Stop, I''ll talk, I''ll talk!" Stun Pong''s legs were full of ice blades, and fear finally appeared in his gaze as he looked at Blaze Regret. He had no doubt that if he continued to stubbornly refuse, those sharp ice blades would soon cover his entire body.


    With a slight curl of his lips, Blaze Regret flipped his palm, and the crystalline ice blades spun in his hand, sparkling with pure light.

 Chapter 259 Make Them Regret

    "If I tell you, will you let me go?" Stun Pong looked at the spinning ice blades, feeling slightly numb in his scalp, and his voice was quite anxious."You have no right to bargain," Blaze Regret said calmly, his words tinged with a chilling coldness.


    "The specific function of the Dark Nether Pearl, I''m not entirely sure, but the head of the family said that as long as there is a Dark Nether Pearl, some crises in the Dark Nether Abyss can be easily overcome. The reason the Blood Seal Sect returned unscathed last time was because their sect leader had a complete Dark Nether Pearl," Stun Pong swallowed hard, his voice trembling.


    "I see," Blaze Regret nodded, stood up, and slowly turned around. The spinning ice blades, however, carried a chilling cold as they pierced into Stun Pong''s vital points.


    "You... you don''t keep your word..." Stun Pong''s pupils contracted, his voice struggling to come out.


    "I never said I would spare you," Blaze Regret said indifferently, placing the Dark Nether Pearl into the Void Realm Stone and lightly dusting off his hands.


    Blaze Qistina looked at Stun Pong, now lifeless, with a slightly dazed expression. His strength ranked him in the top ten at Bloodstone Pass, yet Blaze Regret had effortlessly disposed of him with a simple gesture.

    If this news reached Velorian City, it would surely cause quite a stir, especially among the Snow family''s clan members. Their reactions would be quite something to behold.


    "Great Elder, what do you plan to do next?" Blaze Regret asked, taking Blaze Wahab''s calloused hand and placing a few healing pills into it with a smile.


    "I''ve decided to return to Velorian City. The path at Bloodstone Pass is becoming increasingly difficult. Without paying a hefty price, those few families won''t let outsiders thrive," Blaze Wahab replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head. Although there was still some profit, there were other towns like Bloodstone Pass nearby, and it would be better to spend time developing new trade routes.


    "I see," Blaze Regret nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Great Elder, why don''t you go to the Jack family and say Blaze Regret recommended you? Once you negotiate, the Jack family''s spirit core business can at least give the Blaze family about thirty percent."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Qistina''s eyes widened in shock. Did she hear correctly? Her cousin actually had connections with the Jack family?


    Moreover, even if there was some connection, it seemed impossible to get thirty percent of the business. Having trained with Blaze Wahab for so long, she was well aware of what that seemingly small thirty percent truly meant.


    "The Jack family? I heard that recently a young man caused quite a stir there and even managed to subdue that stubborn old Jack Mana..." At this point, Blaze Wahab''s mouth opened in shock, staring straight at Blaze Regret. Could it be that this was his grandson''s doing?


    Seeing Blaze Wahab''s shocked expression, Blaze Regret smiled and nodded, confirming his guess.


    "It''s been a few years, and the young lad from back then has truly grown up. If Blaze Ash knew about this, I wonder what his reaction would be," Blaze Wahab sighed with emotion, but when mentioning Blaze Ash, a hint of hesitation was evident in his eyes.


    "Great Elder, what happened?" Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat upon seeing Blaze Wahab''s expression, and he asked urgently.


    "Not long ago, someone from the central empire came to the Blaze family, and a few days later, your father disappeared with him, leaving only a pendant in the room," Blaze Wahab said slowly, shaking his head. He opened his hand to reveal a dazzling pendant, shimmering with starlight like brilliance.


    Stay tuned for updates on empire


    "The Kartis family?" Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned fierce, and a surge of violent killing intent erupted from within him. The sudden shift in his aura caused Blaze Qistina, standing nearby, to turn slightly pale.


    "I''m not sure. We can only confirm that they came from the central empire, but the specific faction is unknown," Blaze Wahab replied with a bitter smile. Only a few knew about Blaze Ash''s disappearance, and if the Snow family or other rival forces found out, the Blaze family would be in grave danger.


    "No matter which faction it is, if they dare to harm a hair on my father''s head, I, Blaze Regret, will make them regret coming into this world!" Blaze Regret clenched his fists tightly, his face seething with anger, resembling a beast ready to devour its prey. He hadn''t even been this furious when the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group besieged him.


    This time, he truly felt a murderous intent!


    "Great Elder, you should first go to the Jack family and establish a good relationship with them. As for the central empire, I will return there sooner or later," Blaze Regret said softly, taking a deep breath to calm his emotions.


    Seeing this, Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina nodded slightly. Although they didn''t understand why Jack Mana, whom Blaze Regret had previously embarrassed, would be willing to help, they trusted Blaze Regret and agreed.


    Taking the pendant from Blaze Wahab, Blaze Regret waved his hand in farewell to Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina. He then mounted Red''s back and sped off into the distance. His desire to enhance his strength was growing stronger than ever.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s departing figure, Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina exchanged glances and turned their gaze toward the direction of the Jack family.


    It seemed that the Snow and Jack families also had very close ties. Hopefully, this wouldn''t cause any trouble.


    The chilly wind swept through the street, causing passersby to instinctively shrink their necks. Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina stood in front of the Jack Family''s gate, their expressions slightly hesitant.


    "Great Elder, if we just go in like this, won''t we be kicked out?" Blaze Qistina hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, her pretty face extremely cautious.

 Chapter 260 Bet

    "Who cares, with my strength as an eighth level spirit Imperial master, even if that Jack Mana doesn''t agree, he will give us some face." Blaze Wahab gritted his teeth, leaning slightly forward, ready to head towards the Jack Family."Great Elder, wait, those seem to be people from the Snow Family!"


    Just as Blaze Wahab lifted his foot, Blaze Qistina grabbed his sleeve, nervously pointing at several figures in the distance. Leading them was none other than the Snow Family''s Great Elder, Snow Ahmad.


    Standing beside him was Snow Feng, with a smile on his face.


    "Hehe, this trip should bring in tens of thousands of gold coins. Great Elder, don''t forget my share. My Earth splatter Scorpion is about to break through," Snow Feng said with a laugh.


    "Don''t worry, you won''t be left out," Snow Feng replied with a smile, shaking his head.


    "Hmm? Those two over there look like Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina?" Snow Feng shifted his gaze and raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if witnessing something unbelievable.


    It''s known that the Blaze Family mainly deals in the spirit beast business, but the Jack Family controls resources mostly related to spirit cores. So why are these two at the Jack Family''s gate? S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Could it be that the Blaze Family also wants to get involved in the spirit core business?" Snow Ahmad''s lips curled into a faint sneer on his old face.


    Everyone knows the Snow Family has close ties with the Jack Family. Whatever the Blaze Family intends to do, as long as he''s around, he will ensure they leave empty handed.


    In recent years, the rivalry between the Snow and Blaze families has escalated to a point of no return.


    "Hey, Blaze Qistina, you''re looking more beautiful," Snow Feng called out, his face adorned with a flirtatious smile as he gazed at Blaze Qistina from afar.


    "My cousin hasn''t taught you a lesson yet?" Blaze Qistina wrinkled her nose in disgust. The sound of his insincere voice always made her feel nauseated.


    Hearing this, a shadow flickered in Snow Feng''s eyes. The name Blaze Regret was a taboo in the Snow Family. Anyone mentioning it in front of him or Snow Feng faced terrifying retaliation. If it weren''t for Blaze Regret, the Blaze Family wouldn''t have received substantial support from the Angsana Pavilion, putting the Snow Family''s status in jeopardy.


    "Hehe, Elder Blaze, what brings you to the Jack Family''s gate?" Snow Ahmad asked with a teasing glance at Blaze Wahab, smiling.


    "What''s it to you?" Blaze Wahab huffed coldly. His temper was no better than Blaze Ash''s, so he naturally didn''t show the Snow Family any courtesy.


    "I would think Elder Blaze hasn''t forgotten our Snow Family''s long standing friendship with the Jack Family?" Snow Ahmad remained unperturbed, his face still wearing a faint smile, albeit tinged with mockery.


    With his arms crossed, Snow Feng glanced smugly at the two. The Snow Family''s success at Velorian City was largely due to their alliance with the Jack Family. Although Jack Mana was only a sixth level spirit Imperial master, he had strong ties with even some spirit lords.


    Biting her lip gently, Blaze Qistina fell silent, momentarily unable to find a rebuttal. She couldn''t fathom what Blaze Regret had done to persuade the Jack Family to abandon their ties with the Snow Family and partner with the Blaze Family. Such a significant matter was no child''s play!


    "Just because it was a friendship before doesn''t mean it will continue," Blaze Wahab pondered for a moment before speaking in a cold, harsh tone. Despite the truth in Snow Ahmad''s words, Blaze Regret''s assurance gave him the confidence to stand firm.


    "Haha, Elder Blaze, what gives you such confidence to tell this joke? How about we make a bet?" Snow Ahmad retorted, his face full of ridicule and sarcasm.


    "Speak," Blaze Wahab said coldly, his hands clasped behind his back.


    "If you can step through the Jack Family''s door today, this gold card is yours. If not, you''ll give me the same amount," Snow Ahmad said, a gold card pinched between his fingers, gently swaying.


    That card contained a total of a hundred thousand gold coins. Though he could earn that amount in a single business trip, it included the cost of goods, a share for the Jack Family, and the portion for his clansmen. In the end, he would be left with only tens of thousands of gold coins.


    He often had to purchase resources to enhance his Earth splatter Scorpion''s strength, so accumulating a hundred thousand gold coins over the years had not been easy.


    As Snow Ahmad finished speaking, Snow Feng smirked provocatively, as if mocking the two for not daring to accept the challenge.


    "If my cousin were here to see you make faces at the Great Elder, he''d definitely beat you up," Blaze Qistina scoffed, turning her head away in disgust.


    Snow Feng''s face flushed with anger. If it weren''t for Blaze Wahab, an eighth level spirit imperial master, he would have lashed out already.


    "Is there really something Elder Blaze dares not do?" Snow Ahmad teased, the gold card dancing in his hand, full of provocation.


    "It''s just a hundred thousand gold coins. Do you think I don''t have that?" A glint of coldness flashed in Blaze Wahab''s eyes as he slapped an void realm stone, revealing a pale blue gold card with patterns like splashing waves.


    "Elder Blaze is indeed straightforward," Snow Ahmad laughed, a look of triumph on his face, while Snow Feng was equally pleased, knowing he''d get a share of the hundred thousand gold coins. Find adventures on empire


    "Let''s go," Snow Ahmad said, gesturing toward the Jack Family''s gate, his voice dripping with undisguised mockery.


    "Hmph," Blaze Wahab snorted, striding forward without hesitation. The outcome was yet to be determined.


    "Let me introduce you. I am Snow Ahmad of the Snow Family, and this is Elder Blaze Wahab of the Blaze Family," Snow Ahmad said with a smile to the Jack Family member at the gate.

 Chapter 261 Lost

    In the past, any member of the Jack Family would have shown him respect, so showing off in front of Blaze Wahab was a pleasant prospect."Which Blaze Family?"


    Surprisingly, the Jack Family member hesitated before bending down to ask cautiously.


    "The Blaze Family from Velorian City, of course," Snow Ahmad answered quickly, not noticing the change in the Jack Family member''s expression and still basking in the joy of the impending gold coin gain.


    "You''ve finally arrived. Please come in!" The Jack Family member''s eyes lit up, and he quickly gestured invitingly, more enthusiastically than he would for the Jack Family head.


    "Surely you''re mistaken. Our Snow Family has always been at odds with the Blaze Family!" Snow Ahmad''s eyes flared with anger. How could this Jack Family member be so oblivious? He would definitely have to discuss this with Jack Mana later and ensure a severe reprimand.


    "Our master has said that from now on, the Jack Family does not welcome members of the Snow Family. Please leave," the Jack Family member said, standing up straight and casting a cool glance at Snow Ahmad and his companions before smiling warmly at Blaze Wahab. He remembered Jack Mana''s instructions clearly: treat members of the Blaze Family with utmost respect.


    "Elder Snow, it seems the Jack Family gate is indeed open to me," Blaze Wahab said with a grin, stepping into the Jack Family gate while deftly taking the gold card from the stunned Snow Ahmad''s hand.


    As Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina entered, the Jack Family member gave the Snow Family group a disdainful look before slamming the door shut, leaving Snow Ahmad and Snow Feng standing dumbfounded in the cold wind.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------


    "Boom!"


    In the silent forest, a huge explosion of energy suddenly erupted, causing the ground within a hundred meter radius to tremble slightly. Dry, yellow leaves rustled down from the branches.


    In front of the fist, a faint white smoke lingered. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros withdrew its fist, wiping it indifferently. In front of it lay countless corpses of Dark Underworld Grass in disarray, and a thin, bloody scent wafted in the air.


    Standing behind the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Blaze Regret held a light green plant in his palm. The delicate leaves on it began to gradually extend after absorbing the black gas emitted by the Underworld Grass. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the leaves grew larger, a faint fragrance spread through the air. At Blaze Regret''s feet, the Red lightly twitched its small nose, looking content.


    "It''s finally blooming. I''ve seen many flowers, but it''s the first time I''ve seen leaves bloom," Blaze Regret smiled. The Ghostly Fragrant Grass had matured, bringing the refining of the Zhixin Dan one step closer. Next, he only needed to find two more spiritual herbs to complete the task.


    According to known information, the Ghost Face Stigma was in the hands of the Stun family, while the Dragon Solanum Fruit was nowhere to be found. However, Blaze Regret wasn''t too worried. Compared to the other two spiritual herbs, the Dragon Solanum Fruit was relatively common. With some luck, he would eventually encounter it after circling around Bloodstone Pass a few times.


    "However, the current headache is getting the Ghost Face Stigma from the Stun family. That''s a problem."


    Rubbing his chin, Blaze Regret pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly.


    He decided to take things one step at a time. The Stun family probably didn''t know that Stun Pong and Stun kiu had met their end at his hands. If it came to the worst, he would have to use all his assets to obtain the Ghost Face Stigma.


    With this in mind, Blaze Regret retracted the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros into the spiritual portal and then mounted the back of the Red, sweeping out like a pale yellow whirlwind, leaving behind only the corpses of the Dark Underworld Grass.


    "The spirit beasts emerging from the Black Underworld Abyss are truly terrifying. The creatures within a ten mile radius have almost been completely wiped out."


    Sitting on Red''s back, Blaze Regret observed the blackened trees around him and the occasional remains of spirit beasts, a hint of surprise in his eyes. If he hadn''t intervened to slay the Dark Underworld Grass, it wouldn''t be long before this forest fell into permanent silence.


    "Right, the pendant..."


    Suddenly reminded, Blaze Regret took out the pendant given to him by Blaze Wahab from the void Realm Stone. The pendant''s spherical body glimmered with resplendent light, reminiscent of stars in the sky.


    "Doesn''t seem that special," Blaze Regret muttered under his breath. Just then, his hand jolted from Red''s leap, causing the pendant to fall onto Red''s back. There, a scar from the battle with the Dark Underworld Grass remained, with fine dark particles mixed in. Even though Red had consumed a pill, it would take a few days to fully recover.


    However, in the next moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes widened in astonishment.


    Deep energy seeped from the sphere, landing on the scar. In just a moment, the fine dark particles rapidly disintegrated, leaving no trace of the wound on Red''s back.


    "This pendant can heal wounds?" Blaze Regret grabbed the pendant, examining it closely, his face alight with joy. His biggest headache was the need to use a large amount of pills to heal his spirit beasts after each battle, and the healing process was often lengthy.


    If all his spirit beasts were injured at once, the situation would become quite awkward.


    "Let''s test it again." Blaze Regret licked his slightly dry lips and gently patted Red''s small ear. The latter braced itself with its paws, coming to a quick stop, leaving several clear scratches on the ground behind.


    As Blaze Regret rapidly formed seals with his hands, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros emerged from the spiritual portal, its silver battle armor majestic, though showing signs of damage in several places.


    Jumping down from Red''s back, Blaze Regret held the pendant and circled the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Energy like star particles gently descended, quickly repairing the damaged areas on the silver armor.

 Chapter 262 Dragon Solanum Fruit

    "Just as I thought!" Blaze Regret''s face lit up with delight. No wonder the Kartis family coveted this item so much. If his father hadn''t cleverly transformed the original necklace into a pendant, it might have long fallen into the hands of the Kartis family head by now.As the stardust particles gradually dispersed, the wounds on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros were completely healed. It shook its shoulders, producing clear, crisp creaking sounds.


    "Hmm?" Blaze Regret noticed that the sphere had dimmed considerably, and his brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that using the pendant exacted a certain cost.


    This was understandable, though. If it could be used without any conditions, the pendant''s effect would be considered miraculous. Not just the Kartis family, but even some reclusive powerhouses would stoop to vying for it.


    With a single hand seal, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stepped back into the spiritual portal. Blaze Regret held the pendant and gently sat back on Red''s back. Along the way, he took out countless spiritual herbs and items from the Void Realm Stone, only to be disappointed as the pendant showed no reaction at all.


    "Is this... spirit jade?"


    When he touched a piece of pure white jade within the Void Realm Stone, an idea struck him. This piece of spirit jade was something he had obtained from Chen An''s Void Realm Stone. Though it was just a small piece, it was quite valuable.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the spirit jade approached the Void Realm Stone, a bright white light flashed, and the spirit jade in Blaze Regret''s hand vanished. The pendant became radiant once more.


    "So this is how it recharges!" Blaze Regret joyfully turned the pendant in his hand. Now that he knew how to recharge it, he wouldn''t hesitate to offer even spirit jade, or any precious items, because the pendant''s effect was truly astonishing.


    If it could heal wounds caused by the Dark Underworld Grass, it could likely heal other strange injuries as well, making it far more practical than pills.


    "I''ll call you ''Healing Star,''" Blaze Regret decided after studying the pendant for a while. He placed the pendant back into the Void Realm Stone, though he felt a bit heavy hearted. Blaze Ash''s journey to the empire''s capital was uncertain, and though the Spirit Lord was strong, he was not well known there.


    "Forget it, no point worrying about that now," Blaze Regret shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel his thoughts. His current strength was too weak; only by working hard to improve himself would he have the right to go to the empire''s capital.


    Several hours later...


    Sitting on Red''s back, Blaze Regret gazed ahead. Although this area was within the boundaries of Bloodstone Pass, a thick, circular city wall separated the interior from the outside world.


    After asking around, Blaze Regret learned that some peculiar spirit beasts could somehow ignore the powder of the Gluttonous Flower and rush over from the mountains. The towering walls were built to fend off those spirit beasts.


    Passing through a rather narrow passage into the city walls, Blaze Regret noticed several figures dressed in blood red attire and squinted slightly. This seemed to be the stronghold of the Blood Seal Gate.


    As he casually scanned the surroundings and was about to move on, he suddenly turned sharply, his eyes fixed on items at a stall. Among them, an orange red fruit was carefully displayed, its surface covered with layers of scale like skin.


    It was the Dragon Solanum Fruit!


    Standing before the stall, Blaze Regret pretended to hesitate, his eyes wandering for a moment before slowly picking up the Dragon Solanum Fruit, as if observing its pattern. This stall was undoubtedly more upscale compared to other vendors.


    The goods were displayed on a long square counter, and behind it, an elderly man watched the street with an indifferent expression, as if Blaze Regret''s visit was of no concern to him.


    If Blaze Regret knew the reason, he would find it amusing. People usually picked up the Dragon Solanum Fruit out of curiosity, studied it for a moment, and then put it back, losing interest.


    Therefore, when the old man saw a customer interested in the fruit, he would remain reclining on his chair, not even bothering to lift his head. Only a few youths, dressed in similar attire, moved in and out of the attic behind him.


    Raising his gaze slightly, Blaze Regret noticed the character "Stun" on the youths'' chests, and his expression changed subtly. It turned out that this stall, including the attic, was Stun Family''s territory. No wonder it appeared so grand compared to other vendors.


    It was said that the Stun Family patriarch, Stun Mat, was a ninth level spirit Imperial master, just one step away from becoming a powerful spiritual lord. Thus, within the Bloodstone Pass, apart from the Blood Seal Gate, the Stun Family wielded the most influence.


    "Young friend, you seem surprised to see the Stun Family''s emblem?" The old man lifted his head, looking at Blaze Regret with cold eyes, like a wolf eyeing its prey.


    "I''ve heard the Stun Family is quite renowned in Bloodstone Pass. It''s my first encounter, so I''m a bit curious," Blaze Regret replied with a nod and a smile.


    Hearing this, the old man lowered his head without expression, not saying another word, as if he hadn''t spoken at all.


    "How much for this fruit?" Blaze Regret quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised the Dragon Solanum Fruit and asked. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Two hundred thousand," the old man replied, a ripple finally appearing in his eyes as he saw Blaze Regret inquire about the price.


    "Why is it so expensive?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling a chill inside. Could it be that the old man knew the true purpose of the Dragon Solanum Fruit, which was why he dared to ask for such a high price?


    "This fruit is called the Dragon Solanum Fruit. After refining a warrior grade spirit beast, it can definitely break through a level. And if luck is on your side, consecutive breakthroughs are not out of the question," the old man explained with a hint of mystery in his words. Continue reading at empire

 Chapter 263 Joking

    However, upon hearing this, Blaze Regret cursed inwardly, realizing the old man was nothing but a swindler. Most people didn''t know the true effect of the Dragon Solanum Fruit, but Blaze Regret knew all too well. Forget about refining it; even if it was just swallowed, any spirit beast at the warrior level would explode on the spot. So much for gaining strength in hell!"Young friend, this fruit is the only one in the entire Bloodstone Pass. Once you miss it, you might never see it again," the old man said with a sly smile, his deceitful expression causing a slight twitch at the corner of Blaze Regret''s eye.


    Blaze Regret took a deep breath, just about to pay, when a hand reached from behind and tugged at his sleeve. Puzzled, he turned around to see a young boy''s delicate face, marked with a hint of fear.


    "Is there something you need?" Blaze Regret asked, bewildered.


    "You shouldn''t buy that fruit. Once a spirit beast refines it, it will explode," the boy whispered, his voice as faint as a mosquito''s, while casting a wary glance at the Stun Family elder.


    "Nonsense!" The old man''s eyes turned cold, and he slammed the table, saying sharply, "Kid from the Walker Family, are you tired of living, coming here to the Stun Family''s territory to cause trouble!"


    Walker Family? Blaze Regret''s mind raced. This boy beside him was actually from the Walker Family. It seemed he had encountered almost all the renowned forces in Bloodstone Pass. He couldn''t help but wonder about the boy''s motive in warning him.


    "I''m telling the truth!" The boy whispered, biting his lip, his head hanging low, lacking the courage to even glance at the Stun elder.


    "Do you really think you can push me around?" The old man stood up, unleashing a powerful aura towards the boy, whose face turned pale with fear.


    "I''ll buy the fruit," Blaze Regret said, frowning as he placed a gold coin card on the counter with a snap.


    "You can leave now," the old man said as he watched Blaze Regret store the Dragon Solanum Fruit into his Void realms stone. A subtle hint of hidden joy flickered in his eyes, yet his gaze remained icy, fixed on the young boy like freezing cold ice.


    The next moment, he brought his two fingers together, a pale golden light emanating from them, sharp like a spear, aiming to pierce the boy''s arm.


    Such sharpness was enough to sever the boy''s entire arm.


    "Playing too hard isn''t fun, elder," Blaze Regret said, expressionless, as he reached out and firmly grasped the old man''s fingers. The intense flames suppressed the pale golden light.


    The stabbing fingers abruptly stopped, and the old man''s expression showed slight shock, while the surrounding passersby were astonished.


    This old man was Stun Kai, the Grand Elder of the Stun Family. Although also an eighth level spirit Imperial master, his strength surpassed even Stun Pong''s. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hehe, young friend, you exaggerate. I was merely joking," Stun Kai said with a faint smile. Seeing Blaze Regret release his grip, he quickly withdrew his fingers, glancing at the red marks on them and his eyes twitched.


    Could this boy be a monster? His strength seemed to rival a spirit beast, and if he used spiritual techniques, the destructive power might be on par with a spirit beast''s abilities!


    "Elder, if that''s the case, I''ll take my leave," Blaze Regret said with a smile, pulling the hesitant Walker Family boy into an alley.


    After turning several streets, Blaze Regret slowly stopped and released his grip.


    "What do you want me to do?"


    Blaze Regret looked at the boy''s astonished eyes and said calmly, "I don''t believe anyone would be kind enough to risk offending a powerful figure just to give a warning."


    "That Dragon Solanum Fruit really can''t be refined. A few days ago, an outsider spirit master bought Stun Kai''s Dragon Solanum Fruit and was blown up with his spirit beast in the inn that very night," the boy from the Walker Family whispered.


    "I know that, but I have other uses for the Dragon Solanum Fruit," Blaze Regret replied calmly, his questioning gaze never straying from the boy.

    Years of experience had instilled in him a natural caution towards everyone.


    A piercing cold wind swept through the street, carrying dust with it.


    "In the eastern mountains, I saw that Stun Pong and Stun Kiu were all killed by you, and there were also people from the Blood Seal Gate!" the boy mustered the courage to lift his head and look directly at Blaze Regret.


    Discovered?


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and his gaze gradually became sharper.


    A faint moonlight enveloped the earth, like a thin layer of silver gauze.


    On the desolate street, where human presence was scarce, two young men silently stared at each other. Under Blaze Regret''s cold gaze, the Walker family''s young man shivered slightly, filled with fear.


    Even Stun Kai did not have such a strong oppressive force. At this moment, he felt as if he was facing a wolf about to reveal its fangs, ready to tear his body apart at any moment.


    "Don''t misunderstand, I''m not deliberately spying," the Walker family youth swallowed, quickly opening the spiritual portal. A faint purple light flashed, and a delicate little beast appeared on the ground, blinking its large, bright eyes, looking as cute as a little kitten.


    "A phantom type spirit beast?" Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn''t expected this young man to be a phantom type spirit master, a rare attribute he was encountering for the first time.


    According to ancient records, phantom type spirit beasts usually mastered some illusions that could confuse enemies in battle, far surpassing the allure of the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat and being extremely difficult to handle.


    Sorry for the late update. Hope you all can support me if you like this novel

 Chapter 264 Spirit King Master

    "This is my natal spirit beast, the Spirit Cat. Its eyes can see through obstacles to view scenes miles away, and it can also hide both my and its presence," explained the young man from the Walker family."I see, but it doesn''t seem to be able to speak, right?" Blaze Regret asked again. Even though the Spirit Cat witnessed him killing the Blood Seal Gate members and Stun Pong and Stun kiu, the young man shouldn''t know so clearly.


    The young man pressed his lips together, his face showing a struggle. After a moment, he finally looked up, determinedly staring at Blaze Regret. A small crack appeared on his forehead, revealing a vertical purple eye!


    Seeing that eye, Blaze Regret''s breath slightly hitched, his eyes full of shock. If not for his strong will, he might have already fled in panic.


    "This is the spiritual technique I''ve cultivated, Celestial Vision. It allows me to share the vision of the spirit beast, and any disturbance within a kilometer cannot escape this eye," the Walker family youth said solemnly.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret felt a slight dizziness. How could there be such a bizarre spiritual technique on this continent!


    The spiritual techniques that spirit master usually cultivate are primarily used to enhance their own spiritual power or to increase the attack power of their spirit beasts. His own technique, the Ten Thousand Spirit Technique, was already quite unique, yet this young man from the Walker family had something equally unusual.


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes turned sharp. He opened his palm, and several pale blue ice blades, carrying a biting chill, shot out abruptly, darting through the air and then shooting towards the young man from various angles. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a light step, the young man didn''t even turn his head as he dodged, his figure flickering rapidly. The sharp ice blades embedded themselves into the ground with a clang, not even grazing his clothing.


    "Impressive," Blaze Regret murmured softly, visibly moved. This young man, with only the strength of a ninth level warrior grade spirit master, managed to evade the shattering ice blades that even a fourth level Imperial grade spirit master might not be able to dodge. This was all due to his purple vertical eye.


    "Speak, what is it you really want?" Blaze Regret calmed his shocked mind, speaking with a cold expression.


    "I hope you can help save the Walker family!" The young man from the Walker family quickly bowed, his attitude extremely humble.


    "Save the Walker family? You overestimate me," Blaze Regret shook his head slightly without thinking. No matter the reason, he wasn''t interested in meddling in others'' affairs, especially since he had no real connection with this young man.


    With a bitter smile, the young man seemed to have expected this response. He ran his hand across his waist, revealing a dark, ominous looking flower in his palm. The strands of its stamen emitted a chilling aura, condensing a few tiny black ice crystals around it.


    "Nether Bloom?" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted. The young man was holding the alchemical ingredient he had longed for!


    "You recognize it?" The young man was slightly stunned by Blaze Regret''s reaction, then a flicker of joy crossed his eyes. It seemed that Blaze Regret had a strong need for this herb, increasing the chances of successful negotiations.


    "Could you explain where you got this herb?" Blaze Regret asked with a peculiar expression, eyeing the young man. Wasn''t the Nether Bloom supposed to be with the Stun family?


    "I stole it."


    The young man said without a blush, "I nearly emptied the Stun family''s treasury. Since they plan to destroy the Walker family, taking a few things from them isn''t a big deal."


    Taking the Nether Bloom, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly. Even he wouldn''t dare say he could sneak into the Stun family unnoticed, yet this young man, with the aid of Celestial Vision, managed it with ease.


    Such a powerful spiritual technique being used for stealing is truly a waste of talent!


    "Senior, have you agreed?"


    The young man from the Walker family beamed with delight and quickly opened the void realms Stone, revealing dozens of spirit herbs of various colors floating in the air. "Take whichever you want; they were all stolen anyway."


    Seeing the young man''s proud expression, Blaze Regret was a bit speechless. This was clearly something to be ashamed of, yet for him, it seemed to be a badge of honor.


    "Aren''t you afraid I might just kill you and take everything?" Blaze Regret suddenly grinned wickedly.


    Hearing this, the young man trembled, a look of intense fear on his face. He understood the principle of not flaunting wealth, but in his moment of pride, he had made such a huge mistake!


    "Put it away," Blaze Regret said, shaking his head in exasperation. If it were any other spirit master, the young man might already be a corpse in a ditch.


    "Senior, are you really willing to help?" The young man clutched the void realms Stone, looking eager.


    "Let me think about it. But why are there so few people on the streets today? Did something happen?"


    Scanning the quiet streets, Blaze Regret frowned slightly. This abnormality made him uneasy.


    "Senior, you don''t know?"


    The young man looked at Blaze Regret in surprise. "Tonight is the opening night of the Dark Market. Many powerful figures are heading there, and those who are weaker don''t dare to come out. That''s why the streets are almost empty."


    "Dark Market?" Blaze Regret smacked his lips. There was a similar venue in Velorian City, and he had visited it once. It didn''t seem particularly special.


    "The Dark Market at Bloodstone Pass is different from those in surrounding towns. The items sold there are all shady, and due to the unique nature of Bloodstone Pass, many powerful figures from empires come here. A year ago, there was even a spirit king master that appeared at that Dark Market!" The young man quickly explained, as if he understood what Blaze Regret was thinking.

 Chapter 265 Walker Shafik

    Spirit King master?!This terrifying term made Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitch, and his face showed a hint of anticipation. This Dark Market was undoubtedly much more impressive than the one in Velorian City!


    "I''m not familiar with this Dark Market. Show me around," Blaze Regret said with a slight smile, glancing at the anxious young man.


    Hearing this, the young man''s eyes lit up with joy. It seemed Blaze Regret had agreed!


    "So this is the Dark Market of Bloodstone Pass."


    Walking along the street, Blaze Regret looked at the bustling scene around him and couldn''t help but feel a sense of wonder.


    Compared to this place, the Dark Market in Velorian City had a more secretive vibe. Many local residents were unaware of its existence, and one needed a special token to enter. Here, however, it was brazenly open.


    After walking just a short distance, Blaze Regret''s face showed surprise. He saw at least ten third grade spiritual herbs, along with all sorts of strange and peculiar items.


    "By the way, you still haven''t told me why the Stun family is targeting your Walker family?" Blaze Regret withdrew his gaze and looked curiously at the young man beside him. From their earlier conversation, he learned that the young man''s name was Walker Adam, the youngest son of Walker Kimi, the head of the Walker Family, and he had an older sister.


    "It is said that our Walker Family ancestors had a mysterious beast," Walker Adam leaned closer to Blaze Regret, speaking mysteriously.


    A mysterious beast!


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret stopped in his tracks, shocked. Just what kind of background did the Walker Family''s ancestors have to possess even a mysterious beast?


    "You know about mysterious beasts?" Walker Adam blinked in surprise. Having become familiar with Blaze Regret, he no longer spoke timidly as before.


    "I know a little," Blaze Regret nodded slightly.


    "Actually, it''s probably just a rumor, but the people from the Blood Seal Gate and the Stun family believed it. A year ago, in pursuit of information about the mysterious beast, the Walker Family suffered a devastating blow. Even my grandfather perished in that turmoil," Walker Adam sighed.


    "What was your ancestor''s name?" Blaze Regret seemed to have guessed something and asked tentatively.


    "It''s said to be someone named Walker Shafik. The name sounds imposing, but it''s probably made up. Otherwise, why would the Walker Family be in such a dire state?" Walker Adam shrugged indifferently. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Walker Shafik..." Blaze Regret repeated the name, and after a moment, a look of shock rose in his eyes. The Walker Family''s ancestor was actually Walker Shafik! This ancient name might be little known on the continent now, but Master Magi''s ancient texts devoted several pages to this person''s deeds.


    It was rumored that Walker Shafik had achieved accomplishments even more terrifying than a Spirit King master, and his mysterious beast was the renowned Emperor Jue''s Eyes!


    Emperor Jue''s Eyes, ranked thirtieth in the Mysterious Beast Records, a phantom type mysterious beast.


    According to legend, Walker Shafik, with this phantom beast, fought seven Spirit Kings master during his time and remained undefeated, even killing three of them. That battle made him famous and established his reputation across the continent.


    And yet, his descendants have fallen to such a state?


    Turning his head, Blaze Regret looked at the puzzled Walker Adam, feeling a sense of awe. If Walker Shafik were still alive and knew the plight of his descendants, the entire Sun Moon Empire would likely experience a massive upheaval.


    After all, the wrath of such a powerful figure is something ordinary people cannot withstand.


    "Did your ancestor leave any tokens behind?" Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment before asking.


    "Yes," Walker Adam said, thinking for a moment and then taking out a pale purple token from his pocket, which was engraved with a giant eye. "This thing is probably a crude creation by some craftsman. The emblem on it is really ugly."


    Taking Walker Adam''s token, Blaze Regret examined it carefully and then let out a long, difficult breath. This token was actually the legendary Emperor Jue''s Token! Returning the token to Walker Adam, Blaze Regret felt dizzy. If this kid knew how powerful his ancestor truly was, who knows what his reaction would be.


    However, discussing this now was pointless. After all, a powerful figure like Walker Shafik only appeared in legends, and meeting him was impossible.


    "By the way, why did you seek me out?" Blaze Regret pondered for a moment before suddenly asking.


    Although he defeated Stun Pong, it doesn''t mean he has the strength to contend with the Stun family. Stun Zen is a genuine ninth level spirit Imperial master, and his spirit beast isn''t restrained by the Rockhorn Rhinoceros.


    Gaining any advantage over him wouldn''t be an easy task.


    "I can vaguely see a very powerful aura in your second spiritual Portal. Though it''s still dormant, once it awakens, even a ninth level Imperial tier spirit beast will struggle to resist it," Walker Adam said, looking excitedly at the position of Blaze Regret''s spiritual Portal. His Heavenly Eye ability must be accurate.


    So that''s how it is...


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret suddenly gained new insight into Walker Adam''s spiritual technique. Such an extraordinary technique must have been left by Walker Shafik and likely learned only by Walker Adam. Otherwise, he wouldn''t hesitate to show it.


    All along, Blaze Regret thought his Ten Thousand Spirits Technique was already terrifying, and he was somewhat proud. But the appearance of the Heavenly Eye quickly dispelled his sense of superiority. As Master Magi said, the wonders of the continent were just a glimpse for him; there are always people better, and mountains beyond mountains.


    As they walked slowly along the street, Blaze Regret paused and stopped in front of a stall. Among the pile of spiritual objects lay a diamond shaped piece of ice, exuding a faint chill.


    Ice Soul Stone, a fourth grade spiritual object.

 Chapter 266 Provoke

    After some bargaining, Blaze Regret purchased the Ice Soul Stone for 250,000 gold coins. The unique nature of the Ice Control Irenix meant he needed to constantly use pure ice type spiritual objects to help it break through, making it quite a costly endeavor.Seeing Blaze Regret spend so generously, Walker Adam was secretly astonished. This Ice Soul Stone had been in the Dark Market since his last visit, but no one could afford it. Even the master of the Blood Seal Gate would have to think twice before spending such a large amount.


    "Seven colored Dew?" Walker Adam''s eyes swept over a distant stall and suddenly caught sight of a bottle of seven colored liquid, with brilliant light swirling around the bottle like a spinning rainbow.


    Seven colored Dew, a phantom type spiritual object, could help phantom type spirit beasts break through. It would be extremely beneficial for his Spirit Cat, and with this item, he might not take long to break through to a spirit Imperial master.


    However, phantom type spiritual objects are hard to find, and the price of Seven colored Dew is quite steep. So, despite Walker Adam''s strong desire, he could only look on helplessly.


    After all, he couldn''t easily sell the items in his Void Realm Stone.


    "Why are they here too?" Walker Adam''s eyes were fixed on a pair of young people about his age, who were walking over to the stall, laughing and looking very close.


    "Do you know them?" Blaze Regret asked in surprise.


    "The young man''s name is Silver Ray, and the woman is Stun Qistin. She used to be my fianc¨¦e, and we were very close. However, after my grandfather''s death, the Stun family immediately annulled the engagement and instead formed a marriage alliance with the Blood Seal Gate." Walker Adam''s lips moved slightly, and his expression was rather bitter. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing Stun Qistin''s cheerful demeanor, Blaze Regret shook his head inwardly. It seemed that she was very much in favor of this arrangement. After all, being with Silver Ray likely offered a far better future than marrying into the Walker Family.


    Silver Ray, while smiling and gently touching Stun Qistin''s waist, glanced over and locked eyes with Walker Adam.


    A thick, mocking smile slowly crept up at the corner of his mouth.


    In the distance, Silver Ray looked at Walker Adam with a bitter expression on his face, a hint of a mocking smile playing at his lips. He raised his hand and provocatively caressed Stun Qistin a few times.


    Noticing Silver Ray''s odd behavior, Stun Qistin turned her gaze and saw Walker Adam standing there. Instantly, a faint trace of disgust spread in her eyes.


    Since the fall of the old master of the Walker family, she had completely lost interest in Walker Adam, not even bothering to put on a friendly face anymore.


    After all, Walker Adam no longer held any value in her eyes.


    Seeing the emotional changes in the group, Blaze Regret subtly raised an eyebrow. Things seemed a bit complicated, even involving the Stun family and the Blood Seal Gate.


    "Stun Qistin, aren''t you going to greet an old acquaintance?" Silver Ray''s lips curled into a teasing smile.


    "What acquaintance? Just a mangy dog," Stun Qistin said dismissively, as if even looking at Walker Adam was a great insult to her.


    Compared to Silver Ray, Walker Adam was undoubtedly lacking. The former had broken through to become a Spirit Imperial Master a year ago, while Walker Adam remained stuck at the ninth level of Spirit warrior master. If it weren''t for the old master of the Walker family, she would never have agreed to an engagement with such a waste.


    Their conversation was not deliberately hushed, so passersby heard it all. Consequently, mocking glances focused on Walker Adam, with some even pointing and laughing scornfully.


    Walker Adam''s lips were tightly pressed together, and his clenched fists trembled slightly. Those mocking gazes felt like needles constantly piercing his body.


    "Does it hurt?" Blaze Regret gently stroked the fluffy little head of Red, speaking in a soft voice.


    "That Silver Ray used to be someone who could only look up to me. But three years ago, I got stuck at the ninth level of Spirit warrior master and couldn''t break through. Otherwise, he would still look at me with humble eyes now," Walker Adam said bitterly.


    "So, it wasn''t because of that girl, then," Blaze Regret chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. He began to view Walker Adam in a new light. Being fixated solely on emotions is clearly unwise, and those who focus on strength will undoubtedly not remain weak in the future.


    "However, reaching the ninth level of Spirit warrior master three years ago, huh?" Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. If what Walker Adam said was true, his talent was terrifyingly strong, and much of it likely stemmed from his Heavenly Eye ability.


    "Don''t want to see him? Makes sense. A fallen family scion indeed doesn''t have the right to converse with you," Silver Ray laughed, glancing at the Seven Saliva Dew on the stall.


    An insidious idea suddenly emerged in his mind.


    "It''s quite a nice thing, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford to enjoy it."


    Silver Ray picked up the Seven Saliva Dew, examining it with a smile, then feigned surprise as he looked at Walker Adam. "Oh, isn''t this an old acquaintance? What, done paying the Stun family tribute, and you actually have money to come to the Datk market?"


    As Silver Ray''s words spread, the surrounding passersby wore amused smiles. In recent years, the Walker family had been oppressed by the Stun family, which was no longer a secret in Blood Stone Pass. Sadly, once able to rival the Blood Seal Gate, the Walker family now survived by paying tribute to the Stun family, a situation that elicited sighs from onlookers.


    "Silver Ray, let''s go. Why waste time with him?" Stun Qistin glanced at Walker Adam with disdain. If he had no money, he should have stayed home instead of wandering around. This only invited ridicule and scorn.

 Chapter 267 ruthless

    As Walker Adam''s former fianc¨¦e, Stun Qistin naturally found some remarks directed at her due to Walker Adam being looked down upon, deepening her loathing for him."Boss, how much for this bottle of Seven Saliva Dew?" Silver Ray asked.


    "A fixed price of 150,000 gold coins," the vendor replied in a low voice without even lifting his head, perhaps knowing full well that Silver Ray wouldn''t actually spend money on it.


    150,000 gold coins!


    Upon hearing this, the surrounding bystanders gasped. Such a price could only be afforded by some Spirit Masters.


    This is why, despite the continuous strengthening of Spirit Masters'' abilities, the amount of gold coins they possess hardly changes. The spiritual medicines and items needed to enhance strength are just too expensive, consuming any savings they might have.


    "So expensive!" Stun Qistin was slightly taken aback by the price. In the entire Stun family, only a handful could afford such an amount.


    "A phantom type spiritual item, Walker Adam. In this Blood Stone Pass, you''re the only one with a phantom type spirit beast. This item is naturally meant for you. This time, I won''t compete with you," Silver Ray said with a feigned regretful shake of his head, waving the Seven Saliva Dew at Walker Adam as if genuinely offering it.


    The crowd watching had peculiar expressions. Silver Ray was being ruthless, trying to force Walker Adam into buying the Seven Saliva Dew. Given how far he''d taken the conversation, if Walker Adam did nothing, he''d lose face entirely.


    Some even caught the underlying message in Silver Ray''s words. If Silver Ray wasn''t competing this time, did that imply that the dissolution of the engagement between the Walker and Stun families was because Walker Adam lacked the ability, leaving room for Silver Ray to step in?


    "This guy is truly ruthless," many thought to themselves. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Let''s go. Forget 150,000 gold coins; he couldn''t even come up with 5,000. The Walker family now is nothing but an empty shell," Stun Qistin scoffed quietly, with no hint of regard for their past relationship.


    "Indeed, in a few days, it''ll be time for the Walker family to pay tribute to the Stun family again. I bet every Walker family member will have to tighten their belts. No spare money to waste on a good for nothing," Silver Ray shook his head, about to put the Seven Saliva Dew down.


    "Wait!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly locked onto the bottle of Seven Saliva Dew. Inside, there seemed to be a small bead radiating brilliant seven colored light. Perhaps Walker Adam had seen it, but he likely didn''t know its purpose.


    "The Seven Saliva Bead, refined with Seven Saliva Dew, can open the Heavenly Eye."


    A brief message came from the Medicine Emperor Seed, causing Blaze Regret''s eyelids to twitch slightly. The Heavenly Eye it was referring to the Heavenly Eye ability. What a coincidence!


    Before entering the Dark market, he had briefly reviewed ancient texts. The initial color of the Heavenly Eye was purple, and when fully developed, it displayed seven colors, capable of shattering mountains and cracking the earth in the blink of an eye.


    With this thought, Blaze Regret quickly took out a gold coin card from the Void Realm Stone and handed it to Walker Adam.


    Feeling the sudden addition in his palm, Walker Adam was momentarily stunned, then gave Blaze Regret a grateful look.


    "Wait!"


    A deep voice rang out, causing Silver Ray''s hand to freeze in mid air. His surprised gaze slowly shifted to Walker Adam, while Stun Qistin beside him continued to wear a faintly contemptuous expression on her pretty face.


    Staring at the two standing there, Walker Adam''s slightly narrowed eyes flickered with a trace of cold light. He then strode over and snatched the Seven Saliva Dew from Silver Ray''s hand.


    Seeing this, Silver Ray''s expression turned slightly odd, while Stun Qistin, standing beside him, didn''t even glance at Walker Adam, maintaining an aloof expression that kept people at a distance.


    "What are you doing with that Seven Saliva Dew?" Silver Ray asked Walker Adam incredulously. Do you even know how to buy it?


    "Does it concern you?" Walker Adam retorted, not one to be easily provoked.


    "Heh, take a good look at it. You can''t afford it anyway. Who knows, it might grow legs at night and run into your Void realms Stone on its own," Stun Qistin sneered, a slight contemptuous smile on his lips, causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter.


    Only Blaze Regret, who stood there with a grimace, thought to himself, you''re not wrong. The things from your Stun family''s treasury have already found their way into Walker Adam''s Void Realms Stone. It''s probably half of the Stun family''s assets.


    "Boss, this bottle of Seven Saliva Dew is 150,000 gold coins, right?" Walker Adam ignored Stun Qistin and turned to look at the vendor who had his face hidden under a black robe.


    The black robe moved slightly, and the vendor nodded slowly.


    Biting his lip lightly, Walker Adam handed the gold coin card to the vendor. This favor from Blaze Regret was indeed a major one, marking Blaze Regret as a trustworthy friend in his heart.


    "Where did you get the money?" Silver Ray was stunned, and Stun Qistin was equally shocked. That was 150,000 gold coins. Their combined assets were only 50,000 gold coins. It was simply unbelievable!


    "Yes, the amount is just right..." The vendor, touching the gold coin card, spoke with a cold voice. The next moment, his hand accidentally brushed Walker Adam''s fingertips, and an unmistakable shock flashed through the eyes hidden within the black robe.


    "Young man, say your surname again!" The vendor''s head remained lowered, but his voice was slightly trembling.


    "My surname is Walker," Walker Adam replied, frowning, unsure of the vendor''s intent.


    "Walker, yes, that''s right..."


    Heavy breathing came from under the black robe. After a moment of silence, the vendor suddenly said, "I''ll give you this bottle of Seven Saliva Dew. Take it."

 Chapter 268 Heir

    As the vendor''s words fell, not only Silver Ray and Stun Qistin were stunned, but even Walker Adam was taken aback. Did he hear correctly? Was the vendor really giving him the Seven Saliva Dew worth 150,000 gold coins?Retrieving the gold coin card from the vendor, Walker Adam remained bewildered. Could it really be that good fortune had just fallen into his lap?


    "Why don''t you give something to me too?" Stun Qistin quickly picked up a third grade spiritual herb and looked at the vendor with a playful smile.


    "Get lost!"


    But the only response she got was a cold word. The vendor''s merciless rebuke froze Stun Qistin''s smile instantly.


    Standing at a distance, Blaze Regret gently stroked his chin, looking at the vendor with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his gaze.


    "Am I dreaming?" Walker Adam asked, returning and handing the gold coin card back to Blaze Regret, utterly confused.


    "Who knows? Anyway, I saved 150,000 gold coins," Blaze Regret shrugged nonchalantly, dismissing the conjecture that had arisen in his mind. Whether his thoughts were correct or not didn''t really matter to him.


    Leaving behind the resentful Silver Ray and Stun Qistin, the two walked toward the distant street, their figures blurring into the distance.


    Raising his head, the vendor revealed a stern, aged face. Deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of excitement: "Relying on the Seven Saliva Pearl, indeed, we quickly found the possessor of the Heavenly Eye. Old fellows, our young lord has been found."


    After speaking, the vendor lowered his head, and in his calloused hands lay a multitude of Seven Saliva Pearls, their brilliant light shimmering.


    Unnoticed, the crowd around him had dispersed, and as the air twisted, the vendor''s figure slowly vanished, as if he had never appeared in this black market.


    "It really feels like a dream, saving a huge sum for nothing. But why do I have this uncontrollable urge to swallow these Seven Saliva Pearls?" Walker Adam muttered, shaking the glistening Seven Saliva Dew. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Eat it when we get back," Blaze Regret replied, rolling his eyes at Walker Adam, as if realizing the reason why Walker Adam had been stuck at the ninth level of a spirit Warrior Master.


    The thick ancient book flipped through in Blaze Regret''s hands, and beside him, Walker Adam''s face showed surprise, then gradually turned into shock as he read the information, much of which he had never even heard of.


    "Brother Blaze, are you selling this book?" Walker Adam shamelessly asked, determined to build a rapport with Blaze Regret, a familiarity that made Blaze Regret''s mouth twitch.


    "Don''t try to get close, just read it yourself." Blaze Regret turned to the page about the Heavenly Eye and shoved the entire ancient book into Walker Adam''s hands.


    "The Heavenly Eye requires both Seven Saliva Pearls and Dew to break through. After advancing to a Spirit Imperial Master, the eye turns a combination of purple and red, allowing you to clearly see scenes even within minor enchantments," Walker Adam remarked in awe.


    No wonder he had been stuck at the ninth level for so long; he had been using the wrong method!


    Meanwhile, Blaze Regret, while Walker Adam was engrossed in his studies, wandered alone to another stall and purchased an offensive spiritual technique at an exorbitant price.


    The Collapsing Rock Palm gathers the spirit energy from the rock attribute spirit portal into the palm for a powerful strike, a force that can rival the spirit techniques of current spirit beasts.


    However, this technique demands extremely high physical strength from the practitioner, so even among rock attribute spirit master, few choose to train in it.


    "This is it," Blaze Regret murmured with a slight smile. While other spirit master relied solely on spirit beasts for combat, ever since being ambushed at Bloodstone Mountain, he had entertained a bold idea: perhaps a spirit master could transform into a humanoid spirit beast by mastering spiritual techniques!


    Other spirit master have limited spirit energy and become exhausted after using a few techniques. However, with the Ten Thousand Spirit technique, as the number of spirit portal increases, the number of techniques he can perform will significantly rise. More importantly, he might soon possess a mysterious beast...


    Mysterious beasts are terrifyingly unique because they ignore elemental restraints, leverage their racial advantages to battle across levels, and can swiftly draw spirit energy from the air to recover. These traits make them highly sought after by countless strong individuals.


    "Brother Blaze, I''ve decided that once I advance to a Spirit Imperial Master, I''ll travel the continent to find the Seven Saliva Flower. It turns out both the Seven Saliva Dew and Pearls are birthed from that miraculous herb." Walker Adam returned the ancient book to Blaze Regret, his face full of enthusiasm.


    With the Seven Saliva Dew and Pearls, he could quickly break through to a Spirit Lord master, and then no one would dare humiliate the Walker family again.


    "Just wait. You might find someone bringing it to you."


    As Walker Adam looked on, confused, Blaze Regret''s gaze wandered until a bright green seed caught his attention.


    He sensed that the seed seemed to harbor life within it!


    A seed the size of a fruit, emerald green in color, was held in Blaze Regret''s right hand. He carefully sensed it for a moment, and his brow furrowed slightly. The life aura that had occasionally emanated from it was now quiet.


    "Senior Blaze, what are you doing?" Walker Adam asked curiously, looking at the large seed.


    "There seems to be something inside. Can your heavenly eyes see it?" Blaze Regret handed the seed to Walker Adam, his voice rather urgent. This peculiar seed definitely held some mystery; he just couldn''t discover it at the moment.


    "Let me take a look..."


    Taking advantage of the surrounding people''s inattention, Walker Adam crouched down, using his robe to cover his face, while Blaze Regret sheepishly pressed a gold coin card onto the stall. If he didn''t do something, the vendor might treat them like thieves.

 Chapter 269 Silver Van

    "Senior Blaze, there seems to be some restriction on the surface of the seed. Even my Heavenly eye can''t perceive through it at the moment. However, I can confirm that this seed is extremely hard, such that even some lord level spirit beasts may not be able to crush it." Walker Adam straightened up, returned the seed to Blaze Regret, and shook his head. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality."Indeed, it''s extraordinary." A faint smile crossed Regret''s face as he turned to the vendor and asked, "Boss, how much is this seed?"


    "Ten thousand..."


    The vendor had just begun to speak when a hand suddenly covered over, and a cold voice followed: "Boss, I''ll buy this seed for twenty thousand."


    Upon seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze followed the hand upwards to see a slightly pale face with a faint, indifferent smile, staring back at him.


    "Silver Van!" Walker Adam, standing by, trembled slightly in his eyes. He was naturally not unfamiliar with this young man of great renown in Blood stone Pass, and instinctively felt a bit of fear in his heart.


    "What do you mean?" Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned cold as he stared back fearlessly.


    "Interesting." Silver Van shrugged with a faint smile, but the force of his hand only increased.


    "Take your hand off," Blaze Regret said softly, his words tinged with coldness.


    "Interesting, you''re the first to dare speak to me like this in Blood stone Pass."


    Silver Van laughed heartily, but his smile quickly faded as he stared at Blaze Regret with indifference. "The one who lent that gold coin card to the Walker Family kid was you, wasn''t it? Do you know how foolish your actions were? The one you embarrassed earlier was my brother."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but smile wryly. Silver Van really thought highly of himself, his tone as condescending as that of the Kartis family.


    "Silver Van, this matter started because of me and has nothing to do with him. If there''s an issue, come at me," Walker Adam said urgently. He had sought help from Blaze Regret, and the latter agreeing to step in was already giving him plenty of face. If he caused more trouble for Blaze Regret, he''d feel deeply sorry.


    One must know that the Blood Seal Gate had spirit Imperial master level experts. Even Blaze Regret would find it challenging to contend with them.


    "Who do you think you are, to dare call me by name?"


    In Silver Van''s eyes, a cold, sinister gleam gradually emerged. "It''s you I''m looking for. A member of a broken family dares to mess with my brother? Are you tired of living? Kneel now and kowtow thirty times, or today I''ll make sure you don''t return to the Walker Family alive!"


    The conflict naturally caught the attention of many people, who stopped to watch with amused expressions. Most had an instinctive interest in such matters.


    Upon hearing this, Walker Adam trembled, his eyes filled with struggle. Kneeling to Silver Van was absolutely impossible, but if he didn''t, he feared dragging Blaze Regret into trouble.


    With a slight tremor of his hand, the emerald green seed fell into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    He raised his head, looking at Silver Van calmly, and spoke in a composed voice: "I''ll give you ten seconds to leave this place. Otherwise, the one kneeling today will surely be you."


    Hearing this, a trace of disbelief flashed in Silver Van''s eyes. In Blood stone Pass, was there really someone daring enough to speak to him in such a manner? The onlookers around were already dumbfounded and then showed some pity on their faces. This young man probably didn''t know about Silver Van''s methods.


    Not to mention his identity as the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, but his strength as a fifth grade spirit Imperial master was enough to look down on most of the strong in Blood stone Pass. This young man was likely in trouble.


    Silver Van''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his face instantly darkened, his voice carrying intense murderous intent: "Truly, a newborn calf that isn''t afraid of the tiger. Even the head of the Walker Family wouldn''t dare speak to me like that. If the Dark Market didn''t prohibit fighting, do you think you''d still be alive now?"


    "Five seconds left," Blaze Regret said, weighing the seed in his hand, expressionless.


    "Very well. I hope you have the courage to bear the consequences!"


    With words dripping with murderous intent, Silver Van cast a vicious glance at Blaze Regret before turning and slowly walking out of the Dark Market. His shadowy figure made Walker Adam''s heart tremble slightly.


    "What, scared?" Blaze Regret ignored the attention from those around and gave Walker Adam a faint smile.


    "Senior Blaze, the master of the Blood Seal Gate, Silver Down, is a true spirit Lord master. My grandfather died at his hands a year ago," Walker Adam said with a complex expression, feeling somewhat guilty for bringing trouble to Blaze Regret.


    "A spirit Lord master, huh." Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly, his expression also becoming somewhat solemn. The gap between a spirit Imperial and a spirit lord master was like an insurmountable chasm. With his current strength, he couldn''t handle it. However, he couldn''t just stand by and watch Walker Adam be humiliated.


    Moreover, the one making bold claims here was just Silver Van.


    "Boss, this seed is ten thousand gold coins, right?" Blaze Regret turned his head and smiled at the nervous vendor.


    Hearing this, the vendor took a long moment before nodding quickly. He was just a third grade spirit warrior master and couldn''t afford to offend either party. Luckily, their conflict hadn''t involved him.


    With ten thousand gold coins handed over, Blaze Regret tried several times to place the emerald green seed into the void realms stone but was unsuccessful. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. As expected, items with life couldn''t be stored in the void realms stone.

 Chapter 270 Fighting Silver Van

    "Senior Blaze, are we really going out?" Walker Adam glanced towards the entrance of the Dark Market and asked softly.With a light chuckle, Blaze Regret tucked the seed inside his clothing and leisurely headed towards the exit of the Dark Market. If Silver lucas himself came, perhaps Blaze Regret would be somewhat apprehensive, but for someone like Silver Van to make him bow down was nothing more than wishful thinking.


    Behind him, Walker Adam hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth hard and quickly followed Blaze Regret. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After a brief silence, the Dark Market returned to its usual hustle and bustle. Only a few people, their emotions stirred, decided to follow them.


    Tonight, there would be quite a show to watch!


    The bone chilling cold wind howled through the streets as dark clouds loomed over the night sky like a vast curtain, filling the air with a sense of foreboding.


    "Plop!"


    A fruit pit with bits of flesh still clinging to it fell at Blaze Regret''s feet, rolling a few times until it was covered in dust and came to a halt.


    "I didn''t expect you to actually dare to come out instead of hiding inside quietly."


    On a high wall, Silver Van wiped his hands and glanced coldly at Blaze Regret below. A bright flash of blood light flickered behind him, and suddenly, threads of blood red silk wove swiftly through the area, forming a massive cage that trapped several people inside.


    "The Blood Silk Cage, that kid is doomed!"


    From a distant street, Silver Ray''s lips curled into a sinister smile, while Stun Qistin beside him wore a venomous expression. The memory of being scolded in front of countless people made her long nails dig tightly into her palms, wishing she could tear the two standing there to pieces.


    Blaze Regret lifted his head and scanned the area. Countless blood red threads interwove in the air, resembling a giant spider web. In the center of the web, a blood red shadow slowly descended, like a massive spider.


    A strong, bloody scent emanated from the spider, wafting through the air.


    "A blood type spirit beast, huh." Blaze Regret looked on with a hint of surprise at the blood spider, not expecting to encounter two previously unseen attributes at this Blood stone Pass, which was quite an eye opener.


    As the blood spider appeared, countless figures hidden in the darkness held their breath, many of whom were somewhat familiar with its terrifying reputation.


    The Blood Devouring Spider, a high ranking Imperial Grade spirit beast, could enhance its power by consuming the blood of other spirit beasts. To weaker spirit beasts, it was nothing short of a nightmare, and Silver Van''s spider had clearly reached the sixth rank.


    "Why does Silver Van, who is merely a third rank spirit imperial master, possess a sixth rank spirit beast?" Blaze Regret frowned. Spirit masters capable of taming beasts beyond their rank might exist elsewhere on the continent, but such talent would be rare in a small place like Blood stone Pass.


    "That Blood Devouring Spider was indeed only third rank before, but Silver Van luckily encountered a dying ninth rank Imperial grade spirit beast. It absorbed all its blood, which allowed it to leap to the sixth rank," Walker Adam explained beside him.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded slowly and was about to open the second spirit portal to let the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros crush the Blood Devouring Spider when an excited howl suddenly came from his shoulder.


    With a flick of its pale yellow tail, Red leaped down, rubbing its paws together as it eagerly eyed the Blood Devouring Spider in mid air.


    It hadn''t had much action lately; any stronger spirit beasts had been taken care of by the bulky Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros. Now, finally encountering one of equal strength, it wasn''t about to let the opportunity slip by.


    "Roar!"


    With a step forward, Red locked its gaze on the Blood Devouring Spider, flames rising between its two paws, emanating a strong and overwhelming aura.


    "A fifth rank Imperial grade Three tail Sun Blaze Cat?"


    A smirk appeared on Silver Van''s lips as he said indifferently, "I thought it was some formidable figure, but it''s just a fifth rank spirit Imperial master. I''ve killed more of this level than I can count on one hand."


    "Perhaps I can end your streak," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    "You are truly testing my patience."


    Hearing this, Silver Van''s expression grew extremely cold and severe, his deep voice echoing over the street: "Don''t think that having some power allows you to act recklessly. At least in front of me, you don''t have that right!"


    "Swish!"


    As Silver Van''s voice fell, the Blood Devouring Spider in mid air suddenly lunged downward. Long, blood colored threads shot from its abdomen, connecting to the center of the web, while its slender limbs stabbed fiercely at Red below.


    "Clang!"


    Red raised its claws, clashing directly with the Blood Devouring Spider. Fiery yellow flames swirled around its blade like claws, sending a dazzling spark along the spider''s slender legs.


    When the attack failed, the spider''s abdomen threads retracted sharply, pulling its body upward. Red''s claw, swung in a backward motion, traced three searing arcs of fire through the air.


    "Swish!"


    Dodging the attack, the Blood Devouring Spider descended again, its long legs madly exchanging blows with Red''s claws, the clanging sound echoing continuously.


    With a backward step, its slender legs swept a blood red arc, swiftly lashing out. Red''s claws spread wide, instantly plunging into the ground. Its body spun in mid air, the sharp tail slicing through the spider''s trailing silk with a resounding snap.


    With its supporting threads severed, the massive body of the Blood Devouring Spider crashed to the ground. Its elongated limbs shot out to the right, colliding thunderously with Red''s returning fiery tail, sending an invisible shockwave expanding outward as both were forced to retreat.


    Sorry for the late update. Please support me guys

 Chapter 271 Fighting Silver Van 2

    This exchange happened in the blink of an eye, and before many could react, the Blood Devouring Spider had already landed, completing a fierce strike with Red, and now they faced each other from a distance."Blood Devouring Spider, Blood Fangs!" Silver Van commanded sharply, his brow furrowing.


    Crimson energy gathered before the spider''s mouth parts, rapidly forming into a pair of sharp fangs that clashed with a resounding clang, capable of biting through solid rock.


    After a brief pause, the Blood Devouring Spider charged forward. Its blade like fangs, gleaming with a chilling blood light, aimed to bite down on Red''s neck with the intent to snap it.


    Red spread its claws, revealing pale yellow fire spike rings. It controlled two palm sized fire spike rings, striking fiercely at the Blood Devouring Spider''s fangs. Their figures darted around the area, each collision sending ripples outward.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    The sound of metal clashing echoed repeatedly until a final explosive boom filled the air. The fire spike rings and the Blood Fangs shattered simultaneously, and the force of the explosion drove both spirit beasts apart.


    "This is just the beginning. Blood Devouring Spider, use the Blood Storm to tear that Cat apart!"


    Hearing Silver Van''s cold command, the Blood Devouring Spider spread its eight slender legs wide, lifting high off the ground. It then spun rapidly like a high speed top, rising with a howl. Blood red energy winds swirled around it, spinning madly and emitting a piercing sound.


    In response, Red''s fiery tail bounced against the ground, spinning quickly as well. A fiery whirlwind formed rapidly around it, meeting the oncoming blood colored storm head on.


    In the next moment, under many tense gazes, the two differently colored whirlwinds collided with a heavy impact.


    "Boom!"


    The two spirit beasts, transformed into whirlwinds, carried surging spiritual power and collided heavily, sweeping energy waves that caused cracks in the surrounding rocks.


    As the energy dissipated, in the midst of those cracks, the Three tail sun blaze cat''s right claw was raised above its head, resisting the piercing legs of the Blood Devourer Spider. The cold, sharp claws reflected its fierce eyes.


    "No wonder you talk big; you do have some skills," Silver Van said with a gloomy look. With the Blood Devourer Spider''s six stage advanced Imperial grade Beast Master level strength, it should have easily defeated the Three tail sun Blaze cat after unleashing the Scarlet Storm. However, the current scene left him dissatisfied.


    In response to Silver Van''s slightly mocking tone, Blaze Regret merely pursed his lips. If the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat were still the Two Tail Demon Fire Cat, it would likely have been severely injured. But as the stronger Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, it clearly had the strength to contend with the Blood Devourer Spider.


    "Clang!"


    A flash of cold light, and the two spirit beasts rapidly retreated, their cold eyes fixed on each other.


    "It actually blocked it," Stun Qistin said with a frown and a steady voice.


    "Hehe, don''t worry. My brother''s Blood Devourer Spider hasn''t used its full strength. Otherwise, that Cat would have already become a dried corpse," Silver Ray laughed, confident in Silver Van''s Blood Devourer Spider.


    "Exactly, it''s just a trashy Cat. How could it compare to Brother Van''s spirit beast?" Stun Qistin relaxed her frown and smiled faintly.


    Watching the combatants, Walker Adam kept his mouth tightly shut, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Blaze Regtet.


    "However, it''s about time to end this."


    Standing on the high wall, Silver Van looked down at Blaze Regtet from above, then turned his gaze to the Blood Devourer Spider. With a flick of his finger, a brilliant drop of blood shot towards it.


    The slender leg extended, and the Blood Devourer Spider caught the blood drop with its cold, gleaming leg tip. Without any hesitation, it popped it into its mouth.


    As the blood drop entered its belly, a more powerful aura than before erupted from the Blood Devourer Spider, filling the entire street with a pungent, bloody smell.


    "It''s the Blood Oath, the spiritual technique cultivated by Silver Van!"


    In the darkness, someone exclaimed in shock, their voice carrying a heavy sense of awe.


    To deal with Blaze Regret, Silver Van even resorted to using the Blood Oath. That kid is truly something!


    "Haha, my brother is serious now. They can just wait to die!" Silver Ray laughed heartily as he watched the Blood Devourer Spider''s aura surge, and Stun Qistin''s lips curled into a gloating smile.

    "Die, all of you, die!" Stun Qistin maliciously cursed in her heart. Even though she was allied through marriage with the Blood Seal Gate, some elders of the sect didn''t treat her kindly, all because of her previous engagement with Walker Adam.


    To her, that was an indelible humiliation, and only Walker Adam''s death would ease her mind.


    "Hiss!"


    With a slight forward lean, the Blood Devourer Spider let out a sharp screech. At this moment, its strength had unexpectedly reached the eighth stage!


    "A spiritual technique to enhance a spirit beast''s strength, huh?" Blaze Regtet mused, recognizing the Blood Oath''s utility, especially at the spirit imperial master level. However, he believed that once he progressed further, his Ten Thousand Spirits Technique could completely suppress the Blood Oath and similar techniques.


    "Crash!"


    The sharp leg shattered the ground as the Blood Devourer Spider shot forward. As blood light coalesced, its sharp leg thrust out like a spear, tearing a clear blood red mark even in the air ahead.


    "Kill it, kill it!" Silver Ray exclaimed with an excited smile.


    "Boom!"


    Red''s eyes sharpened, and pale yellow flames coiled up along its sharp claws as it swung fiercely. With a loud crash, violent energy rippled outward, shattering the ground around Red as chunks of rock flew in all directions.


    "How dare it face off? Reckless!" Stun Qistin scoffed, convinced that Red had been pierced through by the Blood Devourer Spider''s sharp legs.

 Chapter 272 Fighting Silver Van 3

    The wind push rocks flying against the Sun Flame barrier, and Walker Adam opened his mouth, a hint of doubt crossing his eyes. However, seeing Blaze Regtet''s calm expression, he hesitated and chose not to voice his concerns.Blaze Regret''s strongest beast was supposed to be the rock type Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, while this Three tail Sun Blaze Cat seemed rather ordinary. Was it really enough to take on Silver Van''s Blood Devourer Spider?


    Standing on the high wall, Silver Van kept his hands behind his back, exuding an air of confidence. The cold smile on his lips hinted at his sinister intentions.


    As long as that Three tail Sun Blaze Cat died, he planned to have the Blood Devourer Spider hang Blaze Regret up and drain him of blood in front of everyone, making clear the consequences of crossing Silver Van.


    "It didn''t die?!"


    The sudden exclamation snapped Silver Van out of his fantasy. His gaze froze as he saw the blood tipped leg of the Blood Devourer Spider halted by Red''s claw, unable to advance.


    The figures in the shadows took a sharp breath. The needle against mace collision created a visual impact even more striking than the earlier violent clash.


    Three pale yellow streams of light danced around Red. With a slight exertion, the ground beneath its feet cracked, forcefully pushing the Blood Devourer Spider''s body away.


    Its slender legs crashed repeatedly onto the ground, creating small pits as the Blood Devourer Spider stared at Red in anger, emitting a thin, nauseating blood aura from its body.


    "Flame Breath, how can this Three tail Sun Blaze Cat use Flame Breath?" Silver Van''s expression shifted unpredictably. The situation, which seemed to be a sure win, unexpectedly took a turn, fueling his murderous intent as if it could tear through his body and crush Blaze Regtet.


    "If that''s the case, I''ll have to use this move."


    After a moment of hesitation, a ruthless glint flashed in Silver Van''s eyes. He raised his left arm, letting the blood red sleeve slip down to reveal a pale arm. With his other hand, he angrily bit his fingertip, creating a glaring blood mark on his wrist.


    "Ugh!"


    The blood didn''t drip to the ground but transformed into floating blood beads in the air, each one containing immense energy.


    Seeing the dense cluster of blood beads, Stun Qistin covered her mouth with her slender hand, while Silver Ray''s eyes glinted fiercely. Excessive use of the Blood Oath would inevitably bring severe consequences. Even if they killed those people, Silver Van would be bedridden for months!


    "Go!"


    With a cough, Silver Van waved his right hand, and the blood beads, like raindrops, merged fully into the Blood Devourer Spider. A faint blood colored light arc appeared around its body.


    With a skyward screech, the Blood Devourer Spider erupted with overwhelming blood light. A thick strand of web shot from its abdomen into the sky, connecting to the center of the web, and its body strangely merged with the massive web.


    Scarlet spiritual power, like blood, spread from the center of the web. Moments later, blood lines rained down, embedding into the ground with a clang, sending stones flying. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Each blood line seemed to be formed from congealed blood, strikingly red.


    Within the blood web, Red''s pupils were filled with blood, and its body tensed instantly.


    Threads of blood dripped down from the web in the sky, embedding deeply into the ground, forming a complex and astonishing forest of blood.


    On top of the high wall, Silver Van clutched his chest and coughed lightly, his face slightly pale from excessive blood loss.


    With ears twitching slightly, Red''s gaze swept rapidly around. Among the dense blood threads, the Blood Devouring Spider seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace behind.


    "It''s over." Silver Van released his palm, looking at the spots of blood he had coughed up, his eyes filled with cold fury. "Among the younger generation who have forced me to this point, you are the first. As a price, let your blood become nourishment to enhance my Blood Devouring Spider."


    "Whoosh!"


    A blood thread quivered lightly, a sharp gust of wind, mingled with a faint metallic scent, slashed across Red''s back like lightning. The cold eyes of the Blood Devouring Spider were fixated on its prey.


    With a painful moan, Red''s eyes hardened, and pillars of flame crystalized and shot backward with a clang, only to pierce through the web and embed into the ground. The Blood Devouring Spider''s body had already merged seamlessly with one of the blood threads.


    "It''s the Blood Devouring Spider''s Blood Evasion Strike!" Walker Adam''s voice trembled slightly.


    Blood Evasion Strike is the signature spiritual skill of the Blood Devouring Spider, allowing it to merge its body perfectly with the web, like a drop of blood flowing on the threads, with its speed enhanced manifold.


    Raising his head, Walker Adam looked at Blaze Regret in confusion. If the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros were to act, even with the Blood Evasion Strike, the Blood Devouring Spider should have been dead by now.


    "I trust it," Blaze Regret said, watching the blood seeping from Red''s back. His pupils trembled slightly, but his voice was cold and resolute.


    Walker Adam pursed his lips and lowered his head, still somewhat bewildered.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Blood Devouring Spider lunged out, its sharp legs slicing through the air with a keen edge, leaving a long gash across the fur on Red''s head.


    Lowering his hand, Blaze Regret clenched and unclenched it repeatedly, letting out a soft sigh. If he were to let the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros intervene now, it might leave a significant scar in Red''s heart in the future.


    Spirit masters have their dignity, and spirit beasts have their pride as well. Just like when the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros fought against the Thunder lock Ape, he never let Red intervene; otherwise, with the temper of the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it would likely have been the first to turn against him.

 Chapter 273 Fighting Silver Van 4

    After all, the difference in their strength wasn''t that large.A sharp screeching sound seemed to emanate from all directions of the blood web. Blood shadows flickered rapidly, and in an instant, numerous wounds appeared all over Red''s body as its footing trembled slightly.


    Slowly lifting its eyelids, Red swiped off a blood thread with a claw, but in the next moment, a blood beam struck it hard, sending it rolling. Before it could stop, the Blood Devouring Spider''s figure suddenly darted out again, its long legs mercilessly piercing into Red''s back.


    "Ugh!"


    With limbs struggling to support itself on the ground, there was a horrifying gash on Red''s eyelid, yet its eyes remained sharp and fierce. Faint yellow flames flickered around it, as if brewing something.


    "Heh, look at it, like a stray dog getting beaten," Silver Ray laughed heartily, feeling quite satisfied. If not for Blaze Regret, he would have already humiliated Walker Adam thoroughly, without losing face in the process.


    "Hmph, he dared to take on Brother Van, overestimating himself," Stun Qistin snorted with pleasure. "Let him pretend; when he''s drained of all his blood, let''s see how he pretends!"


    The Blood Devouring Spider''s body emerged from a thread, carrying an overwhelming blood aura. Its long legs, gleaming with cold light, violently stabbed toward Red, this time aiming for its head.


    "Heh." Silver Van shook his head with a confident smile, looking at Blaze Regret with eyes full of mockery.


    "Clang!"


    Just as the tip of the leg was about to be only an inch from its body, Red suddenly lifted its head, its glass like eyes filled with furious killing intent. With a swift strike of its sharp claws, three arcs of pale yellow light were unleashed, sending the Blood Devouring Spider flying backward.


    "Struggling is merely the manifestation of a weakling''s incompetence," Silver Van said dismissively, his words dripping with contempt.


    Stunned by Red''s counterattack, the Blood Devouring Spider hesitated momentarily. The wounds covering Red would have caused any ordinary spirit beast to collapse from blood loss by now, yet it had endured for so long?


    As murderous intent flashed in its eyes, the Blood Devouring Spider prepared to merge with the web again for a lethal strike on Red. However, a scorching wave radiated from above, gradually raising the temperature of the surroundings.


    Clenching its teeth and fighting off the impending drowsiness, Red spread its claws, releasing a surge of pale yellow spiritual energy. It swiftly gathered above the web, causing the space there to warp subtly.


    "The Sun Flame Fall, perhaps," Blaze Regret murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly. His tense body finally began to relax. A fifth tier Three tail Sun Blaze Cat could comprehend a new spiritual skill, but its require luck and was as random as the Fire spike Ring.


    Judging by the current scene, Red had clearly gained the ability to perform a new spiritual skill. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As it gazed at the distorted sky, Red''s claws clenched slightly, and the pale yellow spiritual energy gradually concentrated above the web, forming a series of light points. They resembled dazzling little suns, emitting intensely hot spiritual energy.


    "Blood Devouring Spider, deliver the final blow!" Silver Van shouted, a sudden sense of foreboding nagging at him.


    But as the Blood Devouring Spider descended, Red''s blood streaked face showed a hint of mockery. Its small, clenched paw slowly rose, then swiftly slashed downward.


    "Whoosh!"


    The small suns trembled slightly before descending in masse, trailing long fiery tails. The sharp sound of sonic booms erupted, lighting up the entire night sky as if it were day.


    The blood red web that spanned the sky and earth melted away like spring snow upon contact with the fist sized suns, emitting wisps of white smoke before vanishing. With the web gone, the Blood Devouring Spider was exposed in mid air, a look of panic on its face.


    "Boom!"


    A sun formed from the Three Tail Sun Blaze cat crashed heavily onto the Blood Devouring Spider, driving it into the ground. The resulting explosive force created gusts of wind that whipped wildly, forming whirlwinds across the ground.


    Following that, numerous small suns fell in succession, each exploding with brilliant light as they pounded into the crater, causing the entire street to shake violently as if during an earthquake.


    For a moment, the street fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the continuous thunder of exploding suns echoing through the night sky.


    Moments later, the small sun formed by Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat finally plunged entirely into the deep pit. The raging wind and sand, accompanied by the howling cold wind, rapidly swept into the distance.


    In that deep pit, a blurred figure covered in blood gradually emerged.


    Blood mixed with debris covered the body of the Blood Devouring Spider, with wisps of white smoke rising, making it look extremely miserable.


    With eyes full of disbelief, Silver Van spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his lips trembling slightly.


    After using the Blood oath technique, the Blood Devouring Spider could even kill some seventh level Imperial grade spirit beasts, yet it was defeated by a fifth level Imperial grade Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat?


    In the distance, Silver Ray and Stun Qistin were also utterly shocked. In their hearts, Silver Van was unbeatable among the younger generation, but the Blood Devouring Spider, lying there barely alive, shattered their belief.


    "Really ruthless!"


    In the darkness, countless eyes flickered, and then some enviously glanced at Blaze Regret. The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat was already rare, and having such a spirit beast was incredible lucky. Its exceptional talent was even more rare.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret turned his gaze, looking calmly at Silver Van. In his open palm, a chilling aura spread, and a bone chilling ice blade quickly formed.


    Stared at by Blaze Regret''s emotionless eyes, Silver Van couldn''t help but shiver. He suddenly recalled how some predators seemed to have the same calm expression before hunting their prey.

 Chapter 274 Fighting Silver Van Final

    "Damn it, this kid is so troublesome. Where on earth did he come from!" Silver Van cursed inwardly. Of course, if he knew that the person who defeated Jack Mana some days ago was also this young man, he would regret his arrogance even more."Kid, my father is the master of the Blood Seal Gate. If your stupid Cat dares to harm my Blood Devouring Spider, I will definitely make you regret it!"


    Seeing Red drag the Blood Devouring Spider out of the pit, Silver Van''s expression tightened, and he shouted urgently.


    However, in response to Silver Van''s threat, Red merely twitched its small ears expressionlessly. With its scarred little paw, it slowly lifted up and then, under countless shocked gazes, brutally pierced through the Blood Devouring Spider''s head.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and the onlookers hidden in the darkness all widened their eyes. That was Silver Van''s spirit beast, and this little guy actually dared to kill it?


    "Whoo!"


    Kicking the Blood Devouring Spider''s corpse into the pit, Red let out a satisfied low hum. A substantial wave emanated from its body, and its strength suddenly broke through to the sixth level at that moment!


    "Courting death!" Silver Van looked at Red, who had mercilessly killed his beast, and his face filled with endless killing intent. But in the next moment, Red''s sudden advancement made his expression turn ashen, looking as if he had swallowed a dead rat.


    His own spirit beast had become a stepping stone for someone else, and the anger in Silver Van''s heart was about to explode.


    "You reckless fool, just wait for the Blood Seal Gate''s revenge!" Silver Van had just cursed out when a sharp cold wind suddenly shot out like lightning. Wherever the ice blade passed, the speed of air flow dropped significantly.


    A trace of terror flashed in his eyes as Silver Van quickly ducked behind the high wall. The sharp ice blade embedded itself directly into the tree trunk behind the wall, leaving a long segment exposed.


    Before he could even feel relieved, Silver Van''s expression changed suddenly. The sound of an explosion came from ahead, and a figure swiftly approached, mercilessly driving a powerful knee into his face.


    "Ugh!"


    Blood mixed with several teeth spewed out from his mouth, and Silver Van''s body flew backward in disarray.


    Suspended in the air, Silver Van''s face was blank. Since his birth, he had never experienced such treatment. Was this kid really not afraid at all of the Blood Seal Gate backing him?


    Before he could think it through, Silver Van''s body crashed heavily to the ground, the sound of bones breaking clearly echoing in the night. Silver Ray and Stun Qistin, faces filled with fear, twitched their eyelids violently.


    "Others might fear that so called Blood Seal Gate, but I''ve encountered many Spirit Imperial Master experts, and there are those who have fallen because of me," Blaze Regret said coldly, staring at Silver Van. In his palm, another ice blade rapidly formed, its pale blue glow particularly glaring in the pitch black night.


    "He''s courting death..."


    Watching the ice blade in Blaze Regret''s hand, Stun Qistin''s teeth chattered. That was the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, with a status far higher than Silver Ray''s. If anything happened to him, the entire Blood Stone Pass would erupt. Where did this country bumpkin come from, unaware of the power of a Spirit Lord Master?


    Beside Stun Qistin, Silver Ray was also filled with fear. The thought of Blaze Regret''s ruthless methods brought an inexplicable terror to his heart. After dealing with Silver Van, they might be next. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I admit you''re strong, but crossing the Blood Seal Gate will eventually lead to your downfall."


    Looking up at Blaze Regret, Silver Van''s blood stained teeth revealed a strange smile. Suddenly, with a loud bang, his arm exploded, releasing a cloud of blood mist.


    His body transformed into a streak of bloodlight, shooting out instantly and disappearing from Blaze Regret''s sight, leaving only a small blood speck in the distance on the street.


    "Such speed."


    Blaze Regret watched the diminishing blood speck with some astonishment. The speed Silver Van burst out with was five or six times faster than his own Flame Step, but the price was steep. His arm would never grow back.


    Turning his gaze, Blaze Regret''s cold eyes fell on Silver Ray.


    Feeling that gaze, Silver Ray''s hair stood on end. Without a second thought, he gritted his teeth, his arm exploding as he fled like lightning, leaving a panicked Stun Qistin behind.


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned. He had merely glanced at Silver Ray and had no intention of attacking, as such a person wasn''t worth his attention.


    The outcome was truly unexpected for him.


    If Silver Ray knew Blaze Regret''s thoughts, he would likely be infuriated to the point of spitting blood. He had lost a perfectly good arm for no reason!


    With flickering eyes, the figures in the darkness quickly dispersed after watching Blaze Regret, their emotions stirred deeply. Blaze Regret''s decisive and ruthless nature left a profound impression on them. Such a formidable person was best left unprovoked unless absolutely necessary.


    As for the consequences of this battle, it was not something they needed to worry about.


    Gently picking up Red, who had entered a dazed state, Blaze Regret retrieved a bottle of healing ointment from his void realms stone and carefully applied it to the fierce wounds. As for the Healing star technique, he refrained from using it. With so many prying eyes around, any leak of its existence could lead to endless trouble.


    Stood on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red contentedly squinted its eyes before drifting off to sleep.


    Despite growing stronger, its tendency to be sleepy hadn''t changed at all.


    "Stop!" Walker Adam called out coldly to Stun Qistin, who was trying to escape. Immediately, Stun Qistin''s body stiffened, and a deep sense of dread appeared on her face.


    Need help guy to support this novel

 Chapter 275

    Walker Adam looked at Stun Qistin with indifference, stepped forward expressionlessly, while Blaze Regret shrugged and began to carefully study the heavy ancient book of Master Magi from the Void realms Stone.Before long, he found a page containing the blood oath. Originally a brief introduction, it now became extremely detailed.


    Mysteriously, Blaze Regret suddenly had a strange feeling that this ancient book seemed alive. Whenever he encountered something new, information related to it would immediately appear in the book. For example, Walker Adam''s Heavenly Eye technique was initially only briefly mentioned, but after personally experiencing it, even some secrets appeared in the book.


    "What do you want to do!" Stun Qistin looked at Walker Adam, who was gradually approaching, and felt a sudden jolt in her heart. However, her charming face still carried a strong facade.


    "Let me warn you, I am Silver Ray''s future wife. If anything happens to me, the entire Walker Family will be implicated!" Stun Qistin''s cheeks trembled slightly as she spoke with a firm tone.


    "Too bad your fianc¨¦ abandoned you and ran away." Walker Adam sneered slightly, showing disdain that made Stun Qistin''s expression turn quite ugly. Just moments ago, Silver Ray had ignored her and fled alone, an action like a slap to her face, burning with humiliation.


    "Don''t worry, I have no intention of making things difficult for you. I just want you to inform the Stun family head that the Walker Family will no longer pay tribute," Walker Adam said calmly.


    Upon hearing this, Stun Qistin was slightly stunned, then looked at Walker Adam as if he were a monster. Are you out of your mind? Do you really want to bring annihilation upon your family?


    "With him?" Stun Qistin glanced at Blaze Regret, her mouth curling into deep mockery. Just a newly advanced sixth level spirit Imperial master who luckily defeated Silver Van, does he think he''s invincible?


    A frog at the bottom of a well!


    If you were to see the true foundation of my Stun family, you probably wouldn''t even be able to speak out of fear and would kneel for mercy on the spot.


    "Your vision is too narrow. Some things are not as simple as you think," Walker Adam said with a calm face, not in the mood to argue. Not to mention the terrifyingly powerful Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, if the ice type spirit beast in Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal awakened, even the head of the Blood Seal Gate would be cautious, let alone Stun Mat, the head of the Stun family.


    "What a joke. Just wait. In seven days, it will be time for the Walker Family to pay tribute again. Then, I''ll see what kind of waves a mere sixth level spirit Imperial master can stir up!"


    Stun Qistin sneered as she quickly retreated, her figure flickering and disappearing into the night, leaving only her unrestrained mocking laughter echoing down the street.


    Blaze Regret paid no attention to the scene, nor did he harbor any anger towards Stun Qistin. Such provocations had long since ceased to be worthy of his ire.


    "Blood Escape, one of the spiritual techniques mastered by spirit master of the Blood Oath Spiritual Technique, greatly increases one''s speed through self harm, making it a tool for escape," Blaze Regret murmured. It turned out that the Blood Oath technique included specific spiritual arts.


    This thought left him with a peculiar expression. He wondered if his own Ten Thousand spirit technique also contained spiritual techniques. Unfortunately, even Master Magi''s ancient book had little on the Ten Thousand spirit technique, and with Master Magi currently in slumber, Blaze Regret had to explore this on his own.


    After comforting the slightly anxious Walker Adam, Blaze Regret left a communication imprint on the sound transmitting shell and then headed towards Bloodstone Mountain, feeling at ease.


    Even if Stun Mat came personally, he might not gain any advantage over Blaze Regret. As for the Blood Seal gate, there was even less reason to worry. Blaze Regret was confident he could contend with any strong Spirit Master below the spirit Lord master level. If a spirit Lord master did appear, he would rely on Master Magi to release some imposing aura to intimidate them.


    From the situation at the Hundred Spirits Pool, it seemed that Master Magi could awaken for a shirt of time, so he could only hope that the Blood Seal Gate wouldn''t seek its own destruction.


    Bloodstone Mountain lay in serene silence.


    Under the gently swaying branches stirred by the breeze, Blaze Regret sat quietly. In front of him, a pill cauldron hovered gently. Inside the cauldron were three differently colored spiritual herbs: Nether Blossom, Dragon Solanum Fruit, and Ethereal Fragrant Grass.


    After spending so much time, he could finally open the fourth spirit portal.


    Blaze Regret smiled slightly as a pale yellow flame rose from his palm, tracing a graceful arc before falling into the cauldron. He felt quite confident about the success rate of refining the Heart Pill.


    Silence enveloped the mountains, and from above, only a faint flicker of firelight could be seen, softly dancing and crackling.


    The pitch black forest seemed drenched in ink, while overhead, dark clouds drifted slowly. A few brilliant stars squeezed through the gaps in the clouds, twinkled briefly, and then vanished.


    Soon, it was morning again.


    The horizon gradually brightened as a gentle breeze brushed past, carrying with it the fresh scent of leaves.


    Slowly opening his eyes, Blaze Regret saw thin wisps of white smoke wafting from the pill cauldron in front of him. The source of the smoke was a black pill, its dark hue shining like a gemstone. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This pill was surprisingly difficult to refine," he say softly.


    Picking up the Heart Pill, Blaze Regret looked weary but couldn''t hide the smile on his lips. Although it had taken the entire night to fully form the pill, the fourth spirit portal was finally about to appear.


    This was an additional spirit portal beyond what other spirit masters possessed!

 Chapter 276 The Rock Crumbling Palm

    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret tossed the Heart Pill into his mouth. Moments later, the Rock horn dragon Rhinoceros in his third spirit portal opened its eyes in puzzlement, staring directly at a spot beside it where a dark vortex was slowly rotating.The spinning vortex gradually formed into a circle, comparable in size to the other three spirit portals, emitting a vast energy that even stirred the Ice Lotus''s Ice control Irenix slightly.


    "Crack!"


    As the fourth spirit portal gradually manifested, Blaze Regret''s body trembled violently. The pain felt as if a piece of flesh was being torn from within him. Sweat poured from his forehead like rain as he clenched his teeth and thrust his hands into the soil, yet not a single sound escaped him.


    If Master Magi were awake, he would surely praise Blaze Regret, Seeing that his resilience had grown significantly compared to before. The pain that Blaze Regret endured would be enough to make an average spirit Imperial master faint multiple times.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s slightly contorted face, the fluffy tail of the Red gently caressed his cheek, a low whimper emanating from its mouth.


    "Boom!"


    In an instant, a tangible wave of energy surged outward. Blaze Regret suddenly stood up, feeling the increasingly vast spiritual power within him and the attributeless fourth spirit portal. His unrestrained laughter echoed through the mountains.


    "I, Blaze Regret, have finally made it through!"


    A layer of white mist covered the Bloodstone Mountains, and the distant dark forest appeared faintly visible. The grass on the ground glistened with rounded dewdrops, reflecting the sunlight.


    "Boom!"


    A loud sound suddenly echoed from the mountains. A young boy, with a hint of youthfulness on his face, struck a hard rock with his palm, which glowed with a silvery layer. The powerful recoil caused thin streams of bright red blood to flow from between his fingers, but he gritted his teeth and continued to strike the rock repeatedly.


    The Rock Crumbling Palm, being an earth elemental attack technique, was far more destructive than the Sun Flame Finger or the Ice Shard Blade. However, its training method was much more challenging, and the intense pain alone was enough to deter many spirit master.


    Sitting cross legged on the ground, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros calmly watched the determined face of Blaze Regret. The bright red blood stained most of the rock, creating a shocking sight.


    If it were an ordinary rock, it would have shattered long ago. However, the rock Blaze Regret was striking contained traces of mysterious crystal iron, making it difficult even for the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros to break it with a punch without using its spiritual techniques.


    "It really hurts!"


    Slowly withdrawing his slightly trembling palm, Blaze Regret panted heavily. The split wounds felt as if they were being scraped by a steel knife, causing a burning pain.


    With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret retrieved a healing ointment from his void realms stone, enduring the intense pain as he applied it generously to his wounds, spreading it evenly to allow full absorption.


    Healing the wounds was also part of the Rock Crumbling Palm training. Once healed, the palm would become even tougher. Thus, even with the Healing star technique at his disposal, Blaze Regret never used it.


    The third grade healing ointment worked quickly, and after half an hour, Blaze Regret looked at his still slightly swollen palm, gritted his teeth, and struck the rock again with fierce force. Each strike caused sweat to continuously drip from his forehead due to the pain.


    This scene continued for several days.


    "Break for me!"


    Blaze Regret''s cold eyes stared at the blood red rock as he let out a fierce shout. His silver cast palm, infused with a violent force, struck out. With a loud bang, fine cracks spread rapidly from beneath his palm, quickly covering the entire rock.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of shattering echoed as the rock, containing traces of mysterious crystal iron, exploded into fragments. Sharp pieces flew out, embedding themselves into the ancient trees around.


    As he lifted his hand, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros crushed a piece of rock fragment, and a slight emotional ripple finally appeared in its usually indifferent eyes.


    "Phew!" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Looking at the scattered fragments, Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile as he exhaled a long breath. After several days of effort and countless amounts of expensive healing ointment, his mastery of the Rock Crumbling Palm had finally reached a decent level.


    Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his right palm lifted instinctively to strike out as a fierce force from the right side attacked like lightning.


    "Boom!"


    Two hands of completely different proportions clashed, and an invisible wave of force expanded, sweeping up fallen leaves and twigs from the ground, blowing them into the distance.


    In the next moment, Blaze Regret''s body shook as he retreated step by step. Each time his foot landed, it left a noticeable dent in the ground, and he finally stopped after retreating dozens of steps.


    Seeing Blaze Regret unharmed, a trace of astonishment flashed in the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes. Even without using any spiritual techniques, it could easily crush a spirit beast of the same rank. If the Dragon Seal was activated, it could even battle a ninth rank Imperial grade spirit beast. Yet Blaze Regret had managed to withstand its strike using only his physical strength?


    Though his arm felt slightly numb, a satisfied smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s lips. While his strength still couldn''t compare with the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, it was more than enough to deal with other seventh rank Imperial grade spirit beasts.


    Now, even if all three of his spirit beasts were absent, he possessed a reliable life saving card.


    "Beep!"


    Just as Blaze Regret took a bite of the fruit offered by the Red, the communication shell at his waist suddenly started ringing, and the flashing pearl mark indicated it was from Walker Adam.

 Chapter 277 Greed

    "Take what you can, give nothing back. Now, it''s finally time to repay the favor," Blaze Regret muttered as he quickly finished off the bright red fruit, tossing the pit into the distance. He then recalled the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, mounted the Red, and set off toward the Walker family estate.A faint yellow streak of light blurred through the mountains as he rode swiftly.


    At the Bloodstone Pass, in front of the Walker family gates, a group of young men with mocking expressions surrounded Walker Adam, who stood with determination. Beside him, a woman of striking beauty glared at him in anger.


    "I''ll say it again: the Walker family will not pay tribute anymore!" Walker Adam declared fearlessly, staring down the young men, who bore the insignia of the Stun family on their chests. His firm words echoed with conviction.


    "Did I hear that right? Since when does the young master of the walker family dare speak to us like that?" The youths burst into laughter. Although they weren''t of high status within their own clan, mocking the Walker family''s young master gave them a twisted sense of superiority.


    "Walker Adam, have you lost your mind? Do you want to bring disaster upon our Walker family?" Walker Nani scolded him angrily. Paying the tribute would ensure peace for another month why not take the easy route? For her, survival was paramount, no matter the means.


    "Sister, are you really content to watch as the Walker family, once on par with the Blood Seal Gate, is trampled by a second rate power?" Walker Adam felt a pang of sadness. The Stun family, who used to treat him with respect, now dared to insult him openly.


    Sometimes, he would rather be beaten to death than endure such humiliation.


    "Dwelling on the past is nothing but a joke."


    Walker Nani shook her head in pity, then snapped, "A few days ago, you and some stranger injured the young master of the Blood Seal Gate. Such audacity! After we pay the tribute, you''re coming with me to the Blood Seal Gate to beg for forgiveness!"


    Walker Adam stared at Walker Nani, his mouth slightly open but no words came out. Did he hear her right? Despite Silver Ray and Silver Van being the initial aggressors, his own sister wanted him to bow and apologize?


    "Regret it now, do you?" Stun Qistin stood at a distance, glaring venomously at Walker Adam. She silently vowed that if he dared to go to the Blood Seal Gate, she would make him wish for death.

    "By the way, where''s that boy who was with you?"


    Stun Tuah, the young man leading the group, picked his ear as he watched the drama unfold with amusement. Mentioning Blaze Regret made Walker Nani''s expression quickly darken.


    As Stun Tuah finished speaking, Walker Adam couldn''t help but internally roll his eyes. If Blaze Regret really appeared here, these people wouldn''t even have the chance to mock him. They would likely be knocked to the ground before uttering a few words.


    "Yes, where is that kid? Quickly bring him here. Maybe the Stun Family might show some mercy and spare his life," Stun Qistin said coldly to Walker Adam. Although she had already see how Silver Van''s defeat at Blaze Regret''s hands, she didn''t believe it at all. She couldn''t think of any reason other than a fluke victory.


    "No, apologies won''t work. We must skin him alive to quell our young lady''s anger," Stun Tuah glanced at Stun Qistin and said sinisterly.


    "Yes, he must die!" Several other members of the Stun Family chimed in, their faces displaying arrogant expressions as if they held Blaze Regret''s life and death in their hands.


    "Sis, trust me, with Brother Blaze''s strength, even if Stun Zen came, he wouldn''t gain any advantage," Walker Adam said anxiously, trying hard to persuade Walker Nani. He knew his elder sister''s temper very well, and if she angered Blaze Regret and he didn''t help, it would be trouble.


    "Haha, did I hear that right? A nobody from who knows where can be compared to our family head? It''s utterly laughable!" Stun Tuah burst into laughter, and the other Stun Family members laughed heartily, thinking it was the funniest joke they''d heard all year.


    "Walker Adam, what are you thinking! That kid is nothing but a fraud, possibly even wanting to harm our Walker family. How could you believe him? It''s hopeless!" Walker Nani glared at Walker Adam in disappointment. In her mind, Blaze Regret was already a villain.


    Looking anxiously into the distance, Walker Adam turned back, about to say something, when Stun Tuah lost all patience.


    "Hurry up and pay this month''s tribute. I''m not in the mood to chat with you," Stun Tuah said coldly, frowning.


    "Alright, no problem," Walker Nani nodded repeatedly and quickly handed over a gold card. Stun Tuah''s eyes lit up as he took it, even taking advantage in the process.


    Unexpectedly, Walker Nani didn''t show the slightest anger; instead, she wore a smiling face, which made Walker Adam feel hopeless inside. He suddenly had the urge to escape from this family.


    Besides him, it seemed like all the members of the Stun Family had already compromised. Even his father stayed behind closed doors all day, drowning in alcohol, and his sister went even further, fawning over the oppressors.


    "That''s not enough. Walker Adam still has a 150,000 gold coin card. I saw it a few days ago at the black market," Stun Qistin suddenly spoke up, her smile malicious.


    "150,000 gold coins?" Stun Tuah''s eyes immediately gleamed with greed upon hearing this. If Walker Adam indeed had such an amount, it would be an unexpected windfall that they wouldn''t need to hand over to the family, allowing them to distribute it among themselves. Of course, Stun Qistin would take the largest share.


    Even so, the other Stun Family members looked at Walker Adam with fiery eyes, eager to tear him apart.

 Chapter 278 Borrowed Knife

    "Where did you get so much money?" Walker Nani sharply turned to Walker Adam, thinking this would surely bring trouble to the Walker family. If Stun Zen found out, the tribute they had to pay would increase again."That''s not mine; it belongs to Brother Blaze!" Walker Adam''s voice was filled with anger. These people were even scheming against Blaze Regret?


    "Hmph, I knew it. That person is harming our Walker family. Get him here quickly and hand over all his assets to the Stun Family, or I''ll immediately take people to end his life!" Walker Nani declared arrogantly, as if everything belonging to Blaze Regret was hers to control.


    In the distance, Stun Qistin''s eyes held a hint of mockery. This was exactly the result she wanted using a borrowed knife to kill someone who might help them. It was a delightful situation. Even though Blaze Regret had advanced to a sixth level spirit Imperial master, the vast Walker family was like a centipede that wouldn''t die easily.


    If they attacked with full force to encircle and kill Blaze Regret, it would be a walk in the park.


    "Sis, how can you be like this!" Walker Adam looked at Walker Nani as if she were a stranger. To curry favor with the Stun Family, she had lost all bottom lines. If she had the courage, why not stand up to the Stun Family? Was it just because Blaze Regret seemed easier to bully than the Stun Family?


    "What did I do? Everything I do is for the family," Walker Nani retorted self righteously, her face even showing some pride as if she genuinely believed she had no choice but to act for the Walker family''s benefit.


    "If you want the gold card, you won''t get it, take my life instead!" Walker Adam turned his gaze, glaring fiercely at Stun Tuah. His slightly pale face flushed red with anger.


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you!" Walker Nani''s chest heaved slightly, her face filled with indignation. Once the Stun Family members left, she would surely report Walker Adam''s unreasonable behavior to their father.


    "Do you really think I don''t dare to touch you?" Stun Tuah frowned slightly under Walker Adam''s furious gaze. Then, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he swung it fiercely towards Walker Adam''s face.


    In the past, he would never have had the courage to make a move, but now the Walker family had fallen on hard times. With Stun Qistin backing him, as long as he didn''t kill Walker Adam, no one would dare trouble him.


    As the fierce cold wind howled, Walker Adam didn''t even blink, clenching his teeth tightly. His innate pride made him prefer to take the punch rather than bow his head to the Stun Family members.


    "Bringing this upon yourself," Stun Qistin scoffed lightly, a disdainful, mocking smile slowly spreading across her lips.


    Seeing Stun Tuah''s fist swing, Walker Nani was initially shocked, but then she calmed herself. Letting Walker Adam suffer a bit might prevent future disasters that could implicate her.


    "Sigh, I''m doing this for your own good," Walker Nani sighed softly, as if she were truly concerned for Walker Adam.


    Just as a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Stun Tuah''s mouth, a whirlwind like figure suddenly swept in. A fist carrying a slight force landed squarely on his nose.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of a nasal bone breaking echoed as Stun Tuah, like a kite with a broken string, crashed to the ground with a thud, leaving a long trail on the ground as he slid backward.


    "I have plenty of gold, but I''m not keen on giving it away."


    Gently rubbing his knuckles, Blaze Regret''s mouth held a faint smile. His emotionless voice resonated at the Walker family''s entrance, causing the surrounding air to become still in that moment.


    Staring at Stun Tuah who was sent flying backwards, Walker Nani and several members of the Stun Family were slightly stunned. In the distance, Stun Qistin trembled slightly and involuntarily took a step back.


    With the help of several clan members, Stun Tuah was hurriedly supported to his feet. He glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, and a nimble spirit beast manifested beside him.


    The spirit beast had a head resembling a wasp and was exceptionally fierce. Its brown armor tightly wrapped its body, and its hands were two gleaming blades with a hint of pale blue cold light slowly flowing along the edges.


    This creature was known as the "Double Edged Wasp," a high level fifth tier Imperial grade spirit beast with wind attributes. Its sharp blades were exceptionally swift, capable of slicing an enemy into several segments in mere moments.


    Upon seeing Stun Tuah summon his spirit beast, the remaining members of the Stun Family also flashed a fierce glint in their eyes. Different spirit beasts appeared around them, their gaze fixed ominously on Blaze Regret.


    "Who are you?" Walker Nani asked Blaze Regret. A moment later, realization dawned on her, and anger surged onto her face. "It''s you, isn''t it? You injured Silver Ray and Silver Van. You''re a reckless fool, a frog at the bottom of the well, unaware of the might of a spirit Lord master. Kneel and beg for mercy, seek Stun Family''s forgiveness, and then go to Bloodstone Pass to accept punishment!"


    Glancing briefly behind him, Blaze Regret noticed the helpless expression on Walker Adam''s face and smiled gently.


    "All of you, come at me together."


    Upon hearing this, Stun Qistin, hiding in the corner, sneered with happy face. Stun Tuah''s Double Edged Wasp was renowned for its speed. As long as it could entangle the fire Cat for a moment, the remaining spirit beasts could easily tear Blaze Regret to pieces.


    "What arrogance," Walker Nani thought disdainfully after a brief pause.


    Only Walker Adam showed a look of relief on his face.


    "Double Edged Wasp, chop off that brat''s hands for me!" Stun Tuah''s eyes were as sharp as drawn swords, fixed intently on Blaze Regret. If he didn''t take this kid down, he''d no longer bear the surname Stun! S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 279 Head Elder

    With a tap of its feet on the ground, the Double Edged Wasp shot forward coldly before any other spirit beasts could charge. Its sharp blades emitted a chilling cold light and slashed down.The blue blade light traced a smooth crescent arc in the air.


    The piercing spiritual energy swept in, yet Red didn''t even blink and continued to sleep soundly, even murmuring in his dream. This made Walker Adam beside him sign internally, but due to his understanding of Blaze Regret, he wisely chose to remain silent.


    The sharp blades of the Double Edged Wasp were reflected in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his right hand.


    "Fool!" Stun Tuah and the others sneered. The blades of the Double Edged Wasp were something even sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beasts wouldn''t dare confront directly. Did Blaze Regret really think he could withstand them?


    "Clang!"


    However, in the next moment, Stun Tuah and the others'' ridicule froze on their faces. Blaze Regret, with an air of ease, simply extended two fingers and gently caught the fierce blades of the Double Edged Wasp between them, stopping them in their tracks.


    "Impossible!" Stun Qistin''s eyes widened in shock, and even Walker Nani looked horrified, her face twisted as if she had seen a ghost.


    "With such little strength, it''s better not to embarrass yourself."


    With a slight smile, Blaze Regret applied gentle pressure with his fingers, and the blades of the Double Edged Wasp shattered with a cracking sound. The sharp fragments, carried by fierce winds, swept across the area.


    "Ah!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A series of blood curdling screams erupted as several members of the Stun Family fell to the ground with a thud. Their spirit beasts were also pierced through vital points by the shattered blades.


    A warm trickle of blood flowed down his forehead. Stun Tuah opened his mouth, but ultimately, with a look of shock, he collapsed weakly.


    With a gentle push of his hand, the lifeless Double Edged Wasp crashed to the ground. Blaze Regret looked at his silver tinged fingers with satisfaction, feeling that the pain he endured these past days had not been in vain.


    "Is this guy a monster?" Stun Qistin''s lips trembled as she immediately turned to flee without a second thought. Blaze Regret paid no attention to her actions; what was meant to come would eventually come, and it was best to resolve these matters sooner rather than later.


    "Brother Blaze, how did you train your fingers? Is it a rock type spirit technique?" Walker Adam asked, his eyes filled with curiosity at Blaze Regret''s gradually fading fingers. Even a ninth tier spirit Imperial master wouldn''t be able to deal with the Stun Family''s spirit beasts so decisively and swiftly with spirit techniques, would they?


    You must understand that the destructive power of spirit techniques cannot be compared to spiritual skills!


    Blaze Regret merely shrugged at Walker Adam''s amazement. If Walker Adam knew that Blaze Regret hadn''t even utilized ten percent of the Rock Crumbling Palm''s power, his jaw would likely drop in shock.


    Bending down, Blaze Regret took the gold coin card from Stun Tuah''s waist. With a flick of his fingers, the light green card ended up in Walker Adam''s clothing, accompanied by a broad smile.


    "Do you even know what you''re doing?" Walker Nani snapped back to her senses and glared angrily at Blaze Regret. However, he didn''t spare her a glance and simply followed Walker Adam into the Walker Family''s mansion, ignoring her to the point that she gritted her teeth in frustration.


    The Walker Family''s courtyard was even more luxurious than the Jack family''s, yet it was notably sparse in terms of people. Blaze Regret didn''t encounter a single Walker Family member during his long walk.


    "They''ve all gone out to hunt spirit beasts. After all, the spirit cores can be sold for gold coins, which are needed to pay tribute to the Stun Family," Walker Adam explained with a shrug, clearly disapproving of this situation.


    Blaze Regret was speechless. To be bullied to this extent and still not fight back if this were the Blaze family, even without Blaze Ash, the two elders would be the first to fight back with everything they had.


    Finding a chair, Blaze Regret sat down comfortably as Walker Adam quickly poured him some tea. Walker Adam''s Heavenly Eye ability was on the verge of breaking through, and he could already vaguely see signs of awakening in Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal.


    "Walker Adam, get him out of here immediately! Do you know the trouble he''s caused?" Walker Nani stormed in, glaring fiercely at Blaze Regret. It wouldn''t be long before the Stun Family''s strongmen arrived, and then Blaze Regret would realize just how foolish he had been!


    Walker Adam, with a face full of helplessness, opened his mouth to say something, but an angry, elderly voice suddenly echoed from outside.


    "Who killed the people of the Stun Family? Come out!"


    Hearing the voice, a mocking sneer quickly appeared on Walker Nani''s lips.


    With an angry shout, an elder in a white robe stormed in, his eyes quickly locking onto Blaze Regret, who sat there with a calm demeanor that only fueled the elder''s rage. This individual was Walker Sin, the head elder of the Walker Family, who had rushed back in a hurry after receiving a somewhat exaggerated message from Walker Nani.


    "Adam, who is this boy!" Walker Sin''s gaze shifted coldly from Blaze Regret to Walker Adam, his roaring voice like thunder descending from the heavens.


    Blaze Regret lifted his eyelids slightly, a trace of indifference flashing in his eyes. As the head elder of the Walker Family, Walker Sin possessed only sixth tier imperial grade strength, which spoke volumes about the current downfall of the Walker Family.


    "Elder, do you not agree with my actions either?" Walker Adam''s lips curled into a bitter smile. It was clear that Walker Sin''s return was to hold him accountable.

 Chapter 280 Stun Elder

    "Young friend, please leave on your own. If you have made a mistake, you must bear the consequences yourself. Do not drag our Walker Family into this," Walker Sin said coldly, flicking his robe sleeve.Walker Nani''s face showed even more happy face at this sight.


    Blaze Regret took a sip of tea, gently set down the cup, and leaned lazily against the chair back. He raised his hand, gently rubbing the soft little ear of Red, who responded contentedly, rubbing its little head against his hand.


    Seeing that Blaze Regret showed no reaction, Walker Sin''s beard bristled like an enraged wolf. He said coldly, "Young friend, must I personally throw you out?"


    With a sigh, Blaze Regret opened his eyes and said slowly, "Elder Walker, I show respect to Walker Adam and hence treat you with some courtesy. But you must understand, I''m here only to repay a favor to Walker Adam, not for the Walker Family. Once the favor is repaid, I will naturally leave."


    "Then I decide that the favor is unnecessary," Walker Sin waved dismissively, as if shooing away a fly. To him, this young boy, no matter how strong, was not worth the trouble.


    "Exactly, some people really think too highly of themselves, always acting so self important," Walker Nani said, fanning the flames.


    "Elder..."


    Walker Adam had a wry smile on his face and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his gaze swiftly turned toward the family entrance. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Boom!"


    The tightly closed gate of the Walker family shattered abruptly, scattering wooden debris everywhere. A bronze colored streak of light shot out fiercely, slashing towards Blaze Regret, who was seated.


    The streak of light resembled a luminous wheel, its edges glinting with an extremely sharp sheen, with several faint arcs spinning rapidly around the wheel, emitting a nerve wracking buzzing sound.


    With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Blaze Regret swiftly evaded the chair in a few quick movements. The bronze wheel instantly sliced it in half, then passed through the room''s wall, its terrifying spiritual energy tearing a huge, menacing crack into the solid ground.


    "Who killed someone from my Stun family, get out here!"


    An elder with a gloomy face stood on the remnants of the wooden door, grimly surveying the Walker Family''s courtyard. The sharp wheel descended from the sky, slowly landing beside him.


    As the light faded, a bronze colored round figure gradually emerged.


    It was a peculiar spirit beast, its body shaped like a disc forged from metal, but with a double sided structure. Each side bore a bulging eye that rotated slowly in opposite directions, with the faint sound of its turning wheels clicking crisply.


    "The third elder of the Stun family, Stun Kimci!"


    Walker Sin''s face darkened as he looked at the spirit beast hovering in mid air, and his heart sank further.


    Steel Disk, a mid level seventh tier Imperial grade spirit beast with metallic attributes, has edges sharp enough to tear through solid steel when spinning at high speed. It''s extremely fierce among spirit beasts of the same tier.


    "Look at the trouble you''ve caused!" Walker Sin glared angrily at Blaze Regret. The Walker Family''s strongest warrior was the family head, Walker Kimi, but even he wasn''t fully confident about defeating Stun Kimci. This boy was going to be the end of the Walker Family!


    "Elder Stun, this is all his doing and has nothing to do with the Walker Family. Please be merciful and don''t implicate us," Walker Sin hurriedly stepped forward, bowing deeply, and without a second thought, pushed the blame onto Blaze Regret.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Walker Sin finished speaking, a brilliant blue light descended from the sky, slicing through the air with a sharp sound. It hovered steadily mid air, resembling a giant ice fish with wings formed of solid ice extending from its sides, gently flapping.


    On the back of this ice fish stood two figures, one being Stun Qistin, who wore a cold smile, and the other causing Blaze Regret''s eyes to narrow slightly.


    It was Stun haze, the head elder of the Stun family!


    "You little brat, I didn''t expect the cause of such a commotion to be you," Stun haze said, standing on the ice fish''s back, looking down at Blaze Regret with a voice tinged with a hint of murderous intent.


    "An eighth tier spirit Imperial master, huh," Blaze Regret murmured to himself. Although both were eighth tier spirit Imperial masters, the aura Stun haze emitted was significantly stronger than Tan Hong''s.


    "The beast under Stun haze''s feet is an eighth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast called the Ice Pike Fish. Though it has wings, its flight speed isn''t fast," Walker Adam quietly advised from the side.


    As more powerful figures arrived, Walker Nani had already retreated to a safe distance, casting a gleeful, taunting look at Blaze Regret, eager to see how he''d meet his end.


    "Old man, I can handle this. You just watch," Stun Kimci completely ignored Walker Sin, who was bowing and scraping nearby. His indifferent eyes glanced at Blaze Regret as he said slowly, "Just a sixth tier spirit Imperial master daring to provoke my Stun family? It seems my Stun family has been too quiet for too long."


    "You little wretch, how dare you touch someone from my Stun family! Prepare to die!"


    Stun Kimci''s voice suddenly turned sharp as Steel Disk''s spinning sides began to rotate rapidly. It then shot out with unparalleled force, tearing through the air like a lightning bolt, hurtling towards Blaze Regret.


    In front of its body, a bronze colored light arc emerged, expanding and contracting while emitting an extremely sharp aura.


    Watching Steel Disk transform into a wheel of light, Blaze Regret''s lips curled slightly upward. He then stomped on the ground, creating a sound like an explosion in the air, and his body shot forward to meet Steel Disk head on.

    "Not even bothering to summon a spirit beast?" Stun Kimci sneered coldly, as if he could already envision Blaze Regret being split in two.As he dashed forward, Blaze Regret opened his right palm, which was enveloped in a silvery sheen. His spiritual power surged as he aimed a heavy strike at the side of Steel Disk.


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret''s silvery white palm landed solidly on Steel Disk''s side. With a loud bang, a powerful spiritual energy shockwave erupted from the point of contact, violently tearing layers of stone surface below.


    With his palm pressed against Steel Disk, Blaze Regret''s eyes remained indifferent. Suddenly, a faint cracking sound was heard. Beneath his palm, cracks quickly spread, instantly covering one side of Steel Disk''s body.


    Upon witnessing this, everyone present widened their eyes, especially Stun Kimci, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his face frozen in shock.


    His Steel Disk had withstood attacks from high level seventh tier imperial grade spirit beasts, and yet now, it was shattered by this seemingly frail young man with just one palm?


    "I must be dreaming!" Stun Qistin, standing on the ice spike fish, trembled and nearly fell. Fortunately, Stun Haze was quick to pull her back. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Grabbing Stun Qistin''s arm, Stun Haze''s face turned ashen as he stared intently at Blaze Regret, a strong killing intent rising from the depths of his heart. This young man was too dangerous and must not be allowed to grow!


    Below, Walker Sin was already dumbfounded, while Walker Nani was shaking like a leaf. Looking at Blaze Regret''s calm face felt like a cold snake crawling up her spine.


    Earlier, she had mocked such a ruthless person? Just thinking about Blaze Regret''s merciless killing made her shiver as if a cold wind had blown through her heart. If it weren''t for Walker Adam''s sake, Blaze Regret might have already killed her with a single palm.


    As Blaze Regret slightly retracted his hand, the cracked side of Steel Disk''s body shattered with a crisp sound. Countless bronze fragments clattered to the ground, leaving only half suspended in the air, devoid of life.


    "You dare to kill it!" Stun Kimci''s shock was replaced by intense rage. In the vast Bloodstone Pass, only the Blood Seal Gate made the Stun family wary, and now this unknown brat dared to kill his spirit beast?


    "Slap!"


    With an indifferent expression, Blaze Regret extended his hand, catching the disk like remnants of Steel Disk''s body. His cold gaze slowly turned towards Stun Kimci.


    Stared down by Blaze Regret''s piercing eyes, Stun Kimci swallowed the curses he was about to hurl. A sudden, inexplicable fear surged within him.


    That look clearly showed a murderous intent!


    "Stop right now, or I''ll have your skin peeled and bones broken!" Stun Haze shouted in anger, his voice echoing loudly as he realized Blaze Regret''s intentions and felt a slight panic.


    With a slight smirk, Blaze Regret watched Stun Kimci retreating and fiercely flicked his wrist. The sharp remnants of Steel Disk whistled through the air, shooting forward.


    "Splurt!"


    The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed as Stun Kimci''s body was pinned against the wall by the bronze shards, with hot blood dripping down, staining the shattered wooden door.


    Walker Sin''s face twitched slightly, filled with intense fear. A seventh grade Spirit Imperial Master was taken down just like that?


    "You''re courting death!"


    A thunderous roar came from the sky as Stun Haze, standing on the ice spoke fish, shot down swiftly, his old face filled with an unmistakable murderous intent.


    Unless he grinds this brat into dust, his fury won''t be appeased!


    Blaze Regret calmly lifted his head, feeling the cold wind rushing towards him. With one hand forming seals, the third spiritual portal quickly took shape, revealing a faint, towering figure.


    Though Stun Haze''s ice spike fish was formidable, if the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous joined the fray, it would only take a few more punches. Unless Stun Zen intervened personally, Blaze Regret felt no pressure at all.


    "Hmm?"


    Just as the ice spike fish was about to descend, a cold snowflake suddenly landed on Blaze Regret''s nose, causing him to frown slightly.


    It started snowing? And... it seemed to be black snow.


    "This isn''t good!"


    The body of the ice spike fish suddenly halted in mid air, and Stun Haze''s expression darkened slightly. Beside him, Stun Qistin''s face also showed a slight change.


    After hesitating for a moment, Stun Haze shot a fierce glare at Blaze Regret, then quickly commanded the ice spike fish to turn and speedily move away, his chilling voice echoing through the sky.


    "You little wretch, I''ll let you live a few more days. I''ve marked your life!"


    Hearing this voice, Blaze Regret paused, and the partially formed spiritual portal gradually dissipated. He turned his gaze, somewhat confused, toward Walker Adam.


    "It''s black snow, the bat tide has appeared!" Walker Adam said, opening his palm to reveal tiny black snowflakes melting from the warmth. His voice carried a slight excitement.


    "Bat tide?" Blaze Regret frowned, as he wasn''t very familiar with Bloodstone Pass.


    "Brother Blaze, you might not know, but to the north of Bloodstone Pass, there''s a place called the Black Abyss. Before it opens, the frigid bats in the surrounding mountains are strongly disturbed and rush towards the towns, hunting the living creatures there," Walker Adam explained solemnly.


    "Black Abyss?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up. Indeed, it was almost time to enter the Black Abyss. For the people of Bloodstone Pass, this might be bad news, but for him, it was undoubtedly good news.

    "Young friend, earlier..."


    After a moment of silence, Walker Sin gritted his teeth and bowed to Blaze Regret, only to see that Blaze Regret didn''t even glance at him. Instead, he grabbed Walker Adam and rushed outside.


    "Tell me more about the bat tide," Blaze Regret said with a light smile as they quickly left the Walker family estate.

    Watching their backs, Walker Sin''s face turned ashen, and he slumped to the ground, looking as if he had just let a great opportunity slip through his fingers.To be able to shatter Steel Disk with one palm, Blaze Regret''s strength was at least that of a ninth grade Spirit Imperial Master, a force capable of challenging Stun Zen!


    Even though his perception was mistaken, it didn''t stop him from being filled with regret. Moreover, Blaze Regret indeed had the confidence to face a ninth grade Spirit Imperial Master head on. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hiding in a corner, Walker Nani felt a burning shame on her face. From the beginning, Blaze Regret never paid her any attention. Perhaps her actions were nothing more than a clown''s antics in his eyes.


    "However, the frigid bats aren''t so easy to deal with. He might end up dying there."


    Thinking of this, a strong look of malice appeared on Walker Nani''s face. She then summoned a wind bird and disappeared from the Walker family''s courtyard.


    Looking up, Blaze Regret smacked his lips gently, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise. The high wall, once deserted, was now bustling with people. Figures moved back and forth upon it, and the noisy sounds echoed above, reminiscent of a flock of sparrows gathered together.


    "All the spirit masters within the Blood Stone Pass must be here," Blaze Regret murmured softly. Judging from the aura emanating from these people, at least thirty percent of them possessed the power of a spirit Imperial master. Your next chapter awaits on empire


    "That''s right. Every time the Bat Tide erupts, all the spirit Imperial masters gather here to collectively resist the onslaught of the Frost Bats. If anyone is cowardly or afraid to fight, the people from the Blood Seal Gate will hunt them down afterward," Walker Adam nodded slightly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was momentarily dazed. In the entire Velorian City, there were only a few dozen spirit Imperial masters, yet hundreds stood on this high wall. No wonder many families, even with spirit Inperial master experts, dared not provoke them lightly. Such a gathering of power was terrifying.


    "Brother Blaze, let''s go up too," Walker Adam whispered, pointing to an empty spot. It was evidently the Walker family''s designated area.


    Although the Walker family was currently in decline compared to the Blood Seal Gate and the Stun family, many spirit masters along the way made way for Walker Adam upon seeing him. Only a few looked on with disdain.


    Once on the high wall, Blaze Regret''s gaze swept across, and a faint trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes. Walker Sin and Walker Nani were already standing there.


    "My friend..."


    Walker Sin, thick skinned, was just about to make small talk with Blaze Regret when the latter immediately averted his gaze toward another direction.


    Walker Sin smiled awkwardly and lowered his head, not daring to say another word for fear of provoking Blaze Regret. Beside him, Walker Nani''s eyes flashed with a trace of resentment.


    "Brother Blaze, those are the people from the Blood Seal Gate," Walker Adam said, nodding towards the central position on the high wall.


    Blaze Regret cast his gaze in the direction Walker Adam indicated and immediately spotted Silver Van and Silver Ray. Both had somber expressions, and their empty sleeves swayed gently in the cold wind.


    Seeing the drastic changes in the two, many spirit masters were taken aback, whispering to those beside them before an uproar erupted. A few discreetly glanced at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret ignored these looks and scanned the area, yet he could not find the figure he was expecting.


    "Walker Adam, isn''t the Blood Seal Gate''s master here?" Blaze Regret asked with a frown.


    "Strangely enough, Silver Lucas has been lingering around the entrance to the Black Nether Abyss these past few days and hasn''t returned to the Blood Seal Gate. No one knows what he''s up to," Walker Adam shrugged nonchalantly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed. Could there be something in the Black Nether Abyss that''s attracting Silver Lucas? This would mean that the journey there in a few days might not be so straightforward.


    "Is he the one who killed the Third Elder?"


    A harsh voice came from afar. Blaze Regret turned his head to see Stun Haze, with a gloomy face, and Stun Qistin, whose eyes were filled with hostility, coming into view.


    Both were staring directly at him.


    In response, Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly. Only the middle aged man beside Stun Haze made him feel slightly concerned. The man was undoubtedly Stun Zen, the head of the Stun family and a ninth level spirit Imperial master.


    "Just a small ant. Find an opportunity to get rid of him later."


    Stun Hazen glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently and turned away expressionlessly, showing little anger. In his mind, Blaze Regret was already a dead man, and there was no value in getting angry over a dead person.


    Black snowflakes fell silently, resembling black dandelions. This peculiar sight captured little interest, except for Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, who playfully toyed with the snowflakes using the flames on its claws.


    On the high wall, there were quite a few young female spirit masters whose eyes sparkled with little stars upon seeing Red. The alluring state of the Three tail Sun Blaze Cat appeared exceptionally beautiful.


    "Hehe, Old Walker, you''re still standing in this spot? I really don''t know who gave you the face to do so."


    At this moment, a grating voice suddenly rang out. A rugged looking young man stood with his arms crossed, sneering at Walker Sin with a look of blatant provocation on his face.


    Upon hearing this voice, Walker Sin''s expression instantly became extremely unpleasant.


    The sudden disruption caused many on the high wall to focus their attention, even Stun Haze and others smirked, eager to watch the drama unfold.


    "That''s Steel Mark from the Steel Family. At a young age, he''s already broken through to become a sixth level spirit Imperial master. The Steel Family, led by him, has always wanted to replace the Walker family''s position in Blood Stone Pass," Walker Adam explained, his young face showing a hint of anger.

 Chapter 283 Courting Death

    Clearly, this man named Steel Mark had frequently caused trouble for the Walker family."Steel Mark, don''t go too far!" Walker Sin couldn''t suppress his anger, shouting as his graying beard bristled in fury.


    The Stun family was powerful, and the Walker family couldn''t afford to provoke them for the time being. But the Steel Family, with only a sixth level spirit Imperial master, also wanted to trample them? This made Walker Sin feel immensely insulted.


    "Old Walker, you''re really getting old," Steel Mark sneered, shaking his head before suddenly stomping his foot. A powerful spiritual force surged toward Walker Sin, causing him to stagger backward.


    Steadying himself, Walker Sin''s face was filled with astonishment. Steel Mark''s strength had already reached the seventh level Imperial grade, matching Walker Kimi!


    "Wow!"


    The sudden display of Steel Mark''s power immediately caused an uproar, stirring unrest among many. A seventh level spirit Imperial master had the qualification to hold sway in Blood Stone Pass. The skies over Blood Stone Pass were changing!


    Steel Mark''s lips curled slightly, clearly pleased with everyone''s reaction. His gaze then turned icy cold, sending chills down Walker Sin''s spine as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.


    Steel Mark intended to kill him to establish his dominance!


    "Steel Mark, my father is also a seventh level spirit Imperial master. If you make a move, the Steel Family won''t have it easy either!" Walker Adam, who still had some feelings for Walker Sin, quickly stepped in front of him to block the attack.


    "Heh, just a useless drunkard. After dealing with a few of you, I''ll kill him easily too," Steel Mark chuckled. Then, with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he threw a powerful punch at the terrified Walker Adam.


    With a slight sigh, Blaze Regret extended his hand, his alabaster like fingers gently clasping Steel Mark''s wrist.


    "My friend, you''ve gone too far."


    Steel Mark was slightly taken aback when Blaze Regret grabbed his wrist. He shook his arm vigorously, but Blaze Regret stood there calmly, holding Steel Mark''s hand without budging an inch.


    "What incredible strength!"


    The onlookers were secretly amazed. Steel Mark was a seventh level spirit Imperial master, yet in front of this young man, he couldn''t even put up a struggle.


    "Let go," Steel Mark said coldly, steadying himself. What use was strength? In a fight, it''s not the spirit master who steps in personally. As long as he released his spirit beast, he could tear Blaze Regret to pieces instantly.


    "I can let go, but let''s put an end to today''s matter," Blaze Regret replied calmly. The cold wind lifted his black robe, and his sharply handsome face made many young girls'' hearts skip a beat.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, Walker Sin''s face flushed with regret. If he had known earlier, he would''ve been a bit more courteous from the start, avoiding such a tense situation.


    Fortunately, this young man had a good relationship with Blaze Regret. Otherwise, he would have been in real trouble today.


    "Should''ve stepped up sooner."


    Unlike Walker Sin, Walker Nani snorted, as if Blaze Regret''s intervention was only natural. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Shut up!" Walker Sin snapped at Walker Nani, his fierce look making her shiver and tense up like a steel wire, not daring to make any more noise.


    Turning back, Walker Sin was silently furious. If Walker Nani weren''t his granddaughter, he would''ve slapped her by now. At her age, she should have better judgment.


    "Why should I?" Steel Mark smirked mockingly.


    "He''s my friend," Blaze Regret said, glancing at Walker Adam.


    "Haha, what a stupid reason!"


    Steel Mark laughed so hard he doubled over, and the members of the Steel Family burst into laughter as well. This kid thought he was the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, daring to speak to Steel Mark like that.


    "May I ask which faction you belong to?" Steel Mark looked at Blaze Regret with a mocking smile.


    "An independent cultivator," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "An independent cultivator."


    Steel Mark repeated the words, scoffing, "So, you''re a stray nobody knows about. Your mother must have died early, never teaching you to mind your own business."


    As Steel Mark''s words echoed, the Steel Family members laughed in agreement, while the surrounding crowd looked at each other in silence, not daring to make a sound.


    Only Walker Adam, standing beside Blaze Regret, trembled slightly. He could feel a chilling killing intent emanating from Blaze Regret, growing stronger by the moment.


    Blaze Regret''s lowered eyes were bloodshot, and his previously gentle face twisted slightly. In his heart, his long deceased mother was a taboo subject. Whenever someone mentioned it, the once mild mannered youth would immediately show his fangs.


    In Velorian City, even Snow Amar dared not provoke Blaze Regret with this subject, because when they were younger, a careless remark almost got him beaten to death by Blaze Regret, leaving him bedridden for months.


    "Oh, are you angry? So, you really are a motherless stray?" Steel Mark raised an eyebrow, a smug smile on his face, as if hurting Blaze Regret was something to be proud of.


    "You''re courting death!"


    The cold voice came out word by word as Blaze Regret suddenly raised his face, the fierce killing intent on it making Steel Mark shiver involuntarily.


    "I am courting death, so what can you do about it?" Steel Mark steadied himself, dismissively stating that strength isn''t gained by mere threats.


    "Brother Steel, teach this kid a lesson, show him the reality!" The Steel Family members behind him laughed and jeered, confident that Steel Mark, a seventh level spirit Imperial master, was the future head of the Steel Family.


    "Then go die!"


    Blaze Regret''s slender fingers clenched into a fist, a silver white glow enveloping it. With a roar, he swung his fist, creating a sonic boom in its wake.


    The Rock Crumbling Palm, as the name suggests, strengthens the entire hand. This punch was as forceful as a steel hammer blow.


    "Courting death!"

 Chapter 284 Reverse Scale

    Sensing Blaze Regret''s furious attack, Steel Mark sneered, retracting his arm as vines burst from the bricks at his feet, quickly intertwining to form a wall of vines.The Vine Wall, a wood attribute defensive spiritual technique, is a mandatory skill for all wood element spirit masters.


    "Boom!"


    The silver white fist smashed into the vine wall, and with a crack, the sturdy vines shattered instantly, leaving Steel Mark''s face filled with shock.


    How could this kid break through his vine wall!


    With killing intent surging in his eyes, Blaze Regret''s punch continued unabated, slamming heavily into Steel Mark''s chest. A violent ripple spread out, and a black shadow flew back with a loud bang, like a cannonball, crashing into the crowd.


    The terrifying speed forced many to change their expressions and retreat in panic. Steel Mark''s body carved a long groove into the city wall, with the latter half of the groove tinged with blood.


    A sudden clearing formed in the crowded city wall, a strange sight that left many watching from afar momentarily stunned. Their expressions quickly turned to astonishment.


    Steel Mark, a seventh level spirit Imperial master, had been sent flying by a mere teenager?


    Lying on the city wall, Steel Mark stared blankly at the sky as black snowflakes drifted down, landing on his eyes. Even this irritation couldn''t make him blink, for he had already lost all signs of life.


    At that moment, silence enveloped the city wall. Countless eyes shifted in shock to Blaze Regret, who still held a punching stance. Was this guy a manifestation of a brute ape, capable of killing a seventh level spirit Imperial master with just one punch?


    "What terrifying strength!"


    A few young women watched, their eyes shining like twinkling stars. This visually striking scene would remain vividly in their memories for decades.


    With his chest rising and falling softly, Blaze Regret gradually retracted his fist. His emotionless gaze swept over the Steel Family members, and his cold voice carried across the city wall.


    "Does anyone object?"


    Hearing his words, all the Steel Family members quickly lowered their heads, fear filling their eyes, not daring to meet Blaze Regret''s gaze. If their strongest could not withstand a single punch from Blaze Regret, what chance did they have?


    As Blaze Regret stood there, calm and composed, Stun Zen''s eyes flickered with a hint of coldness. It seemed they had underestimated this young man all along.


    "Whoosh!"


    The snowflakes fell thickly from the sky, and the biting wind suddenly intensified.


    "The bat tide is coming!"


    Someone shouted in alarm, and everyone on the city wall tensed, their eyes scanning the distant horizon.


    The bat swarm had finally arrived!


    From the high wall, the distant mountains appeared as if covered with a thin layer of black ice. Snowflakes drifted down, and the lakes within the mountains glistened like mirrors. Suddenly, dense, dark figures swept across the sky above the mirrors, their numbers reflected in the lakes below, startling the fish into diving deep. Anyone witnessing this scene would surely feel a chill run down their spine.


    These were all large, black bats!


    Known as Frost Bats, they start at a mid level rank of the Warrior grade. Although they initially don''t seem very powerful, their long term habitation near the Black Abyss has caused them to be constantly eroded by the dark aura, leading to dramatic changes in both their size and strength.


    Most have advanced to the Imperial grade, and some are just a step away from the mighty Lord grade!


    Standing on the city wall, Blaze Regret watched the approaching black cloud, reminiscent of a locust swarm, and felt his mouth go dry. Even the Bloodthirsty Bees would be instantly annihilated by such a number of Frost Bats.


    With black wings flapping, the Frost Bats aimed at the numerous figures on the city wall, opening their mouths to shoot out black ice spikes. The tips of these spikes glistened sharply.


    In an instant, the dark ice spikes rained down like black showers, shooting towards the people on the high wall, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of the wind.


    As the Frost Bats appeared, the powerful defenders of Bloodstone Pass immediately launched their attack. Colorful spiritual techniques burst forth, mercilessly landing among the bat swarm, creating a dazzling display.

    However, beneath that brilliance, blood mist continuously burst forth, claiming lives.


    "Roar!"


    At the edge of the towering wall, the Red Claws swung continuously, sending out sharp fire rings that traced elegant arcs through the air. They shattered countless ice spikes and sliced through the bodies of the Frost Bats in an instant.


    "Buzz!"


    After slaying a few Frost Bats, four palm sized fire spike rings flew back, hovering above the Red''s hand, slowly rotating. The black blood had already evaporated due to the intense heat.


    Blaze Regret cast an indifferent glance at the fire spike rings, but his gaze quickly returned, tinged with surprise. Embedded between the sharp spikes of one fire ring was a black bead, emitting a faint, tangible chill.


    As Blaze Regret pondered this, the ice lotus within his second spiritual gate trembled slightly. A strong suction suddenly erupted, swiftly drawing the black ice bead towards it.


    "Whoosh!"


    The ice bead melded into the petals of the ice lotus, with impurities being expelled. Clear veins appeared on the petals, faintly glowing.


    "This ice bead can actually affect ice type spirit beasts?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he scanned the area. He noticed some ice element spirit master collecting fallen ice beads, with some even spending gold coins to buy them.


    "If this continues, as long as there are enough beads, the Ice Control Irenix can awaken soon."


    With this thought, Blaze Regret''s eyes burned with anticipation. Once the Ice Control Irenix emerged from the lotus, even Silver Lucas, the master of the Blood Seal Gate, would have to treat him with caution. After all, the ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Sage!

 Chapter 285 Beast Lord

    "Walker Adam, take this gold coin card and buy up all the ice beads on this section of the wall, even if the price is a bit high." Blaze Regret handed a gold coin card to Walker Adam.Walker Adam nodded repeatedly with excitement, perhaps even more so than Blaze Regret. He had a vague idea of Blaze Regret''s intentions.


    After Blaze Regret''s recent display of power, many spirit master, after glancing at him in surprise, quickly sold their black ice beads. Some even handed the beads directly to Walker Adam without requesting coins, their eyes showing a hint of flattery towards Blaze Regret.


    In their minds, Blaze Regret would undoubtedly hold a significant position in the future of Bloodstone Pass. Therefore, the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him was something they eagerly sought.


    "What''s a fire element spirit master doing with these ice beads?"


    Some people, even though they were puzzled, handed over the ice beads to Walker Adam without hesitation. Only Stun Zen and others on the adjacent section of the wall gave Blaze Regret a few curious glances. Unable to find any answers, they had no choice but to let it go.


    They were unaware that Blaze Regret possessed an ice element spirit beast.


    "Father, this kid is bound to be a troublemaker in the future. We must deal with him early," Stun Qistin said through gritted teeth, glaring at Blaze Regret with a grim expression.


    "Let it go; he won''t survive today," Stun Zen replied with a cold smile, then turned back to continue slaying the Frost Bats.


    A short while later, Walker Adam returned with a cloth bundle filled with a mound of ice beads. Blaze Regret discreetly flicked his robe, causing the black ice beads to vanish from the bundle.


    The smooth beads quickly dissolved into the ice lotus. To Blaze Regret''s delight, one of the lotus petals began to unfurl slowly. Although it didn''t fully bloom, the sight was already immensely satisfying to him.


    At this point, casualties began to appear on the high wall. A level five high ranking Frost Bat broke through the layers of defenses and swiftly attacked, using its ice covered sharp claws to drag a screaming female spirit master off the wall.


    In the next moment, several Frost Bats let out piercing screams and swarmed her. Each passing bat tore off a piece of flesh, and within moments, the young female spirit master was reduced to a skeleton, plummeting to the ground.


    Watching this scene, everyone on the high wall felt a sinking feeling, and Blaze Regret''s expression also grew more solemn. It seemed that this bat swarm was not as manageable as he had initially thought.


    Shortly after the female spirit master''s demise, several more bursts of blood mist erupted on the high wall, causing a stir.


    "The Frost Bats at the back seem to be getting stronger."


    Absorbing the ice beads handed over by Walker Adam into the ice lotus, Blaze Regret murmured softly. Among the overwhelming swarm of bats, a few level eight tier high ranking Frost Bats had already mixed in. It took the joint efforts of Stun Zen and a few elders from the Blood Seal Gate to deal with them.


    However, this also resulted in considerable casualties.


    As everyone wiped the blood from their faces and barely had a moment to catch their breath, an extremely chilling wave suddenly howled from the mountains. Even the moisture in the air condensed into tiny ice crystals.


    "It''s the Frost Bat King!"


    After a brief silence, a terrified uproar erupted on the high wall, and everyone''s hearts sank bit by bit.


    The real trouble was about to begin.


    A few cool snowflakes brushed past his brow as Blaze Regret gazed heavily into the distance. A massive figure, about ten meter in size, traversed the space toward him. The intense sound of its flapping wings was clearly audible even from afar.


    The Frostwing Bat King, a true lord level spirit beast, is born only once in every thousand Frostwing Bats. Its power is terrifyingly strong. According to the historical records of Bloodstone Pass, a powerful Spirit Lord master once perished in the belly of the Frostwing Bat King.


    "Everyone, attack!"


    Stun Zen''s eyes narrowed as he shouted fiercely. Instantly, a barrage of powerful attacks rained down like a storm. However, the Frostwing Bat King, with its astonishing aura, swiftly moved, its sharp claws slashing a blinding cold light, tearing a massive gap in the side of the city wall.


    A chilling cry echoed as several figures fell, and the Frostwing Bat King turned, its hideous mouth opening wide to swallow all those who fell from the high wall.


    Flying back into the swarm of bats, the Frostwing Bat King happily chewed. Bright red blood dripped from the corners of its mouth, and the sound of bones cracking echoed in everyone''s ears.


    Hearing this sound, the survivors couldn''t help but shiver, goosebumps uncontrollably rising on their skin.


    Next, everyone''s tense gaze focused on the members of the Blood Seal Gate. The Frostwing Bat King was overwhelmingly powerful, and since the master of the Blood Seal Gate had yet to appear, only the elders of the Blood Seal Gate had the strength to contend with it.


    "Hmph, vile creature, everyone, attack with me!"


    The voice of anger belonged to Silver Lin, the Grand Elder of the Blood Seal Gate, a ninth level Spirit Imperial Master, just a step away from becoming a powerful Spirit Lord Master. Behind him stood several elders, each with the strength of an eighth level Spirit Imperial Master, forming an impressive lineup.


    As Silver Lin spoke, all the elders of the Blood Seal Gate wore solemn expressions. Blood red formations were quickly drawn in the air before the city wall, releasing an extremely intense bloody aura.


    "They''re all blood type spirit beasts," Blaze Regret was slightly surprised.


    Blood attribute spirit beasts are rare, and yet all the elders of the Blood Seal Gate possessed them. Judging by the formations, it seemed that the spirit beasts within the spirit portal were all the same.

 Chapter 286 Bone Armor Rhino

    The blood red formation rotated slowly, and in the next moment, long vines whistled out from within, twisting all nearby Frostwing Bats into a mist of blood. At the end of these vines was a large flower disk, appearing to have a horrifying mouth filled with sharp teeth.Ghost Vine Flower, a blood type spirit beast, initially ranked as a low tier Imperial grade beast, is known for ambushing prey from crevices in cliffs.


    Currently, apart from Silver Lin''s high grade Imperial grade Ghost Vine Flower, the others had all reached mid Tier Imperial Grade.


    Several Ghost Vine Flowers hovered quietly in mid air, their massive flower disks surrounded by blood red vines, each over ten meter long, with sharp spikes neatly aligned along them.


    "Hiss!"


    The Frostwing Bat King, eyeing the Ghost Vine Flowers, flashed a cold gleam in its eyes. Its long tail exuded a chilling black coldness, making the air around it seem to condense into countless hard ice particles.


    "Swish!"


    After a moment of stillness, the Frostwing Bat King suddenly shook its wings and shot forward rapidly, its ice cold tail whipping toward one of the eighth level Ghost Vine Flowers with lightning speed.


    Mid level lord tier spirit technique, Ice Shatter Tail!


    "Blood Vine Shield!" Silver Lin shouted urgently.


    As the Frostwing Bat King roared forward, the Ghost Vine Flowers quickly converged at the target location. Their long blood red vines rapidly interwove in the air, entwining to form what seemed like a massive vine shield.


    In front of the vine shield, due to the dense blood aura, a smooth blood arc appeared.


    "Bang!"


    The tail, carrying black ice particles, struck the Blood Vine Shield solidly. With a crisp crack, fractures swiftly spread across the shield''s surface until the entire shield shattered with a resounding crash.


    As fragments of the vine shield scattered through the air, a heavy sense of despair settled in everyone''s hearts.


    A single strike from a lord level spirit beast was truly terrifying!


    "It''s over. Even the elders of the Blood Seal Gate are about to fall. I''m afraid Bloodstone Pass will not hold," someone lamented sorrowfully.


    Even though the bat swarm entering Bloodstone Pass wouldn''t completely annihilate all life, the damage it would cause would be devastating. This is one of the main reasons why many forces, despite coveting this place, are unwilling to station here long term.


    After tearing through the Blood Vine Shield, a vicious gleam flashed in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes. It swiftly moved, its icy claws gripping a Ghost Vine Flower and ripping it apart with brutal force.


    Amidst piercing screams, the Ghost Vine Flower''s body split in two, raining blood down below.


    Seeing his spirit beast die, one of the elders of the Blood Seal Gate was filled with grief.


    "Master Stun, if you don''t act now, there won''t be another chance!" Silver Lin turned his head and shouted softly.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Stun Zen''s spirit beast was finally about to make its appearance.


    "Bloodstone Pass is in trouble, and I, Stun, will not stand by idly."


    Nodding with a smile, Stun Zen flicked his sleeve, and a sixth level spirit beast by his side returned instantly to the spirit portal. A new spirit portal swiftly emerged in front, its surface shrouded in wisps of black energy.


    "Dark attribute," Blaze Regret thought to himself, slightly tensing. Spirit beasts of this attribute are extremely mysterious and unpredictable.


    "Boom!"


    Before the spirit portal could fully form, a white figure burst out like a sudden thunderclap, accompanied by the sound of a sonic boom. Its large white hand grasped the body of the Frostwing Bat King and slammed it to the ground.


    Under the immense force, the Frostwing Bat King had no time to struggle and was pinned harshly to the ground by the white figure.


    "Attack!"


    Seeing the deep crater below and the rising dust, Silver Lin''s face lit up with joy. The most troublesome aspect of the Frostwing Bat King was its ghostly speed. If it could be restrained, it was sure to suffer significant damage.


    "Whoosh!"


    In mid air, sharp sounds pierced the wind as blood red vines, like long spears, shot down rapidly, stirring up more dust and debris from the already blurred ground.


    For a moment, as the blood red vines frantically stabbed downward, blinding flashes of blood red light continuously flickered in the sky. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Boom!"


    From within the dust cloud, a white figure quickly retreated, shaking off the dust on its body to reveal its true form to everyone.


    Those seeing this spirit beast for the first time couldn''t hide their shock.


    The spirit beast resembled a standing rhinoceros, but its body bore no flesh or blood, only gleaming white bones covering its entire frame, as if its life consisted solely of crystalline bones.


    This was a ninth level high level Imperial grade spirit beast, the Bone Armor Rhino!


    Sharp vines, carrying a pungent scent of blood, slowly contracted. Several ghostly vine flowers quietly floated in front of the city wall, their large blood colored petals almost obscuring half the sky, while faint blood particles permeated the air.


    Below the city wall, billowing dust spread around as the form of the Frostwing bat king appeared in the eyes of many onlookers. Suddenly, a chorus of startled whispers erupted.


    Black wings shielded the Frostwing bat king''s body, but those broad wings, covered with black ice, were now filled with countless bloody holes. The largest, about the size of a bowl, matched perfectly with the horn of the Bone Armor Rhino.


    It was evident that this was the work of the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Blaze Regret''s dark eyes flickered slightly, and he felt a bit shocked. The strength of the Bone Armor Rhino was surprisingly formidable. Only the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous that wielded the Dragon Seal could possibly contend with it.


    Flapping its damaged wings, the Frostwing bat king slightly moved, trying to struggle to take flight again.

 Chapter 287 Got Trick

    Just as it was about to rise, the Bone Armor Rhino charged at it again, its jade like brilliant fist shook the air and slammed hard onto its back."Boom!"


    A dust shockwave swept outward, and the surrounding Frostwing Bats that attempted to ambush were instantly blasted away by this powerful shock, with some even killed on the spot.


    "So strong." Blaze Regret''s chest heaved slightly, and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous in the third spiritual portal seemed to be somewhat agitated, seemingly wanting to step out immediately and challenge the Bone Armor Rhino.


    However, Blaze Regret didn''t even consider it and slowly shook his head.


    From a racial standpoint, both the Bone Armor Rhino and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous are extremely powerful beings. At the same level, it would be difficult to determine a winner. Moreover, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous was currently two levels lower than the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Of course, using the Dragon Seal could lead to victory, but the damage would also be severe. Unless absolutely necessary, it''s better not to act recklessly.


    Seeing the Bone Armor Rhino suppressing the Frostwing bat king again, a rain of blood immediately shot down from the sky, pouring over the latter.


    These were sharp spikes, all detached from the vines of the ghostly vine flowers. A single one could easily kill a sixth tier spirit beast, and with so many, even the Frostwing bat king would have to pay a significant price.


    Finally, the Frostwing bat king was thoroughly enraged. It spread its wings, and the charging Bone Armor Rhino was instantly knocked away. Before its open bloody maw, a small hexagram magic array appeared out of thin air, shimmering with black ice light.


    As the array slowly rotated, a spear of ice, about a meter long, swiftly shot out, piercing through the body of one of the ghostly vine flowers like lightning, and then exploded.


    The struck ghostly vine flower disintegrated piece by piece as the icy energy spread, disappearing into the sky in an instant.


    Covered in blood spikes, the Frostwing bat king shakily flew towards the sky, its hateful gaze fixed on the few surviving ghostly vine flowers. With a flap of its wings, it swept across with a bone chilling wind.


    However, it was clear to anyone observing that the Frostwing bat king had suffered severe injuries. It was merely trying to take down a few opponents before its own downfall.


    With narrowed eyes, Blaze Regret watched the battle between the Frostwing bat king and the ghostly vine flowers, lightly pressing his lips together.


    The lord level spirit beast was indeed formidable. Even though the Frostwing bat king was one of the weakest in terms of defense, it could still muster a counterattack after several lethal hits. If it were an ordinary ninth tier lord level spirit beast, it likely wouldn''t be able to stand again after taking such a solid punch from the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Stun Zen stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed. The death of the Frostwing bat king was only a matter of time.


    But then, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and with a somewhat grave look, he gazed into the distance, where another powerful aura was rapidly approaching!


    Feeling that aura, the sense of relief that had just settled in the hearts of everyone was quickly replaced with a stiffened expression, as an undeniable fear rose sharply on their faces.


    A second Frostwing bat king!


    "How can there be two?" Blaze Regret asked in shock. Isn''t it said that two tigers can''t live on one mountain? There was already one Frostwing bat king here, so how could there be another?


    "The mountains around the Dark Abyss don''t really connect with each other, so the Frostwing bat kings living there generally coexist peacefully. In fact, it''s not the first time two Frostwing bat kings have appeared simultaneously. A few years ago, during such an occurrence, one of our spirit Lord masters from Bloodstone Pass was swallowed alive," Walker Adam explained.


    Dark clouds loomed over everyone''s heads. One Frostwing bat king was enough trouble; a second one might mean their doom!


    "This is not looking good," Stun Zen murmured quietly. His eyes scanned the area, landing on Blaze Regret, and moments later, a sinister and cold smile slowly crept onto his lips.


    "Everyone, dealing with one Frostwing bat king requires me and the elders of the Blood Seal gate to join forces, and we still haven''t completely killed it. With another one coming, Bloodstone Pass might not survive today."


    Stun Zen''s words added another layer of despair to the already fearful crowd. If even Stun Zen, a ninth tier spirit Imperial master, was intimidated, what hope did they have for survival?


    "So, someone should step up to help me and the elders of the Blood Seal Gate share the burden," Stun Zen said again, causing quite an uproar.


    "Right, as long as we can hold on for a moment, once that severely injured Frostwing bat king dies, we can repeat the scene from earlier."


    "But who has the strength to delay a lord level spirit beast? Such a daunting task can only be barely managed by a ninth tier spirit Imperial master, and we don''t have a third one at Bloodstone Pass."


    Hearing the commotion around him, Stun Haze''s lips curled into a sinister smile. This was exactly the effect he wanted.


    "Who says there isn''t a third ninth tier spirit Imperial master? That young friend over there just shattered Black Lin''s defense with a single punch. Judging by that, he''s at least on par with our Stun Family head," Stun Haze said nonchalantly, pointing at Blaze Regret, while secretly feeling a surge of joy inside.


    Kid, you''re still too naive. Watch how I play you to death.


    As those words reached Blaze Regret''s ears, a chill ran through his heart. The Stun Family members were out to ruin him. With his current strength, facing a lord level Frostwing Bat meant there was no chance of survival!

 Chapter 288 Taking Action

    "Indeed, young friend, for the sake of Bloodstone Pass''s survival, please lend us your aid," Stun Zen said, cupping his hands with a sorrowful expression. But beneath that sorrow was a hidden sense of scheme.With Stun Zen and Stun Haze working in tandem, all eyes turned to Blaze Regret, and voices urging him to take action kept rising.


    The scene suggested that if Blaze Regret didn''t step up, the crowd might turn against him.


    Furthermore, as Stun Haze and Stun Zen continued to stir the pot, the clamor grew into a wave, reaching the skies. If Blaze Regret did nothing, his reputation in Bloodstone Pass would be utterly ruined.


    "Serves you right for showing off, now you''re getting your revenge," Stun Qistin laughed wildly, her brows slightly raised, standing behind Stun Zen.


    As Blaze Regret frowned slightly, Stun Zen and Stun Haze felt secretly pleased, their lips curling with a subtle sneer. No matter whether Blaze Regret took action or not, the outcome would be gratifying. If Blaze Regret backed down, he would be labeled as someone who stands by and watches others die. However, if he forcibly stepped forward, the lord level Frostwing Bat King could easily crush his bones.


    After all, dealing with the previous Frostwing Bat King required two ninth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beasts, and several eighth tier Imperial grade spirit beasts also perished. This was enough to demonstrate the terror of the Frostwing Bat King.


    "Unexpectedly, he turns out to be a coward. What a pity. If Black Lin were alive, he would have bravely stepped forward," Stun Haze glanced at Blaze Regret and sighed.


    These words undoubtedly pushed Blaze Regret further to the edge, causing unusual glimmers in the eyes of many people. After all, it was Blaze Regret who had killed Black Lini with a single punch!


    It seemed to imply that if the Bloodstone Pass fell, it wasn''t because no one stepped up, but because the person who did was killed by Blaze Regret. The culprit was hiding in the crowd, fearing for his life.


    "Brother Blaze, don''t fall for their provocation," Walker Adam said, his face filled with urgency when he saw the determination in Blaze Regret''s eyes. Walker Adam''s Heavenly Eye could see that the spirit beast in Blaze Regret''s second spiritual portal needed only to absorb a little more of the black ice beads to complete its transformation. By then, not just one Frostwing Bat King, but several would be futile.


    "Alas, it''s a pity that my strength is lacking. Otherwise, I would definitely fight to the death with the Frostwing Bat King!" Stun Haze declared decisively, clenching his fists, drawing admiration from many.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Stun Haze''s words fell, a black figure suddenly dashed out, with flaming feet leaving a dark imprint on the city wall. That person was Blaze Regret!


    "Haha, couldn''t hold back, could he? So young," Stun Haze grinned, his face wrinkled like a blooming chrysanthemum.


    "The Frostwing Bat King, tear him apart!" Stun Qistin''s eyes gleamed with excitement, and Stun Zen beside him was equally pleased. This method of using someone else''s strength to kill was undoubtedly more fulfilling than acting on one''s own.


    "Bang!"


    As he fell from the city wall, Blaze Regret supported himself with both hands on the ground, his dark robe billowing in the wind. A violent wave of dust rushed outwards from him, sweeping rapidly in all directions.


    Without wasting a moment, Blaze Regret stood up and charged towards the Frostwing Bat King. He patted the little Red creature on the head, which let out a cry and transformed into the size of a Three tail sun blaze cat. With its sharp fire claws, it instantly split several incoming Frostwing Bats in half.


    In his eyes, the figure of the Frostwing Bat King gradually enlarged, and although Blaze Regret''s gaze was slightly serious, he wasn''t panicked. Just moments ago, he had received important information from Walker Adam.


    The Frostwing Bat King that was flying towards him had a huge bloody hole in its abdomen. In short, it was injured, and severely so!


    Even though Walker Adam was still somewhat concerned, Blaze Regret decided to take the risk. The Ice Lotus, where the Ice Control Irenix resided, had already bloomed four petals, leaving only two more. Once the last two petals opened, the Ice Control Irenix would break free, and the energy contained in the ice beads within the Frostwing Bat King should be a thousand times richer than that of an ordinary Frostwing Bat.


    "Whoosh!"


    The light yellow flames gathered in his eyes as the red creature fiercely fixed its gaze on the descending Frostwing Bat King. Two beams of flame, formed from the condensed sun blaze fire, suddenly shot out from his eyes, causing the Frostwing Bats in their path to explode upon impact.


    The light yellow beams sliced through the air, and as the Frostwing Bat King opened its mouth, a long spear enveloped in bone chilling cold surged forth like a blue streak of light, directly colliding with the incoming flames.


    The ice spear and the light beams met with almost no resistance, passing straight through each other. While the swirling cold dissipated somewhat, the sharp wave of energy remained undiminished.


    "Indeed, even injured, it''s still a lord level spirit beast," Blaze Regret remarked, glancing at the wound on the Frostwing Bat King''s abdomen with a sigh. Just then, a silver armored Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous rushed out in front of him, its tightly clenched fist smashing the ice spear with a powerful punch.

    A fierce ripple of cold ice spread out, and the ground it touched instantly cracked open like it had been sliced by a knife, creating a deep fissure. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous staggered backward, retreating several dozen feet before it finally stomped its foot firmly on the ground to steady itself.


    As the Frostwing Bat King swooped down, Blaze Regret glanced at its gaping wound and felt a slight sense of relief. Given this injury, even a Bone Armor Rhino would likely be tougher than the current Frostwing Bat King.

 Chapter 289 Trap

    "Whoosh!"The red flame creature trembled, and three streaks of fiery red light spiraled around its body. In an instant, its aura surged dramatically, and it leaped up, clawing at the Frostwing Bat King''s wound.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, having regained its breath, approached with earth shaking steps. As it swung its fist, the space in front of it cracked with numerous fissures.


    "Overestimating yourself," Stun Zen grinned, while the crowd on the high wall was in an uproar. Blaze Regret was actually a dual source spirit master? No dual source spirit master had ever emerged from Bloodstone Pass!


    "Whether he''s a dual source spirit master or even a tri source spirit master, in the end, he won''t escape death," Stun Haze stroked his gray beard and chuckled.


    "What a lucky guy! If I were a dual source spirit master, I''d definitely outshine him by a long shot," Silver Van and Silver Ray said, their faces filled with jealousy.


    After Blaze Regret revealed his identity as a dual source spirit master, the thoughts of those on the high wall varied greatly. If they only knew that Blaze Regret also possessed a third attribute, they couldn''t imagine the expressions on their faces.


    "Bang!"


    The three spirit beasts collided together, and the ground below was filled with blinding cracks that spread out with a loud cracking sound. At the end of those fissures, Blaze Regret quickly retreated.


    Although his right palm''s power was already terrifying, there was still a significant gap compared to the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. This level of battle was far beyond what he could participate in.


    After a brief encounter, the three spirit beasts were sent reeling backward. Both the red flame creature and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous bore several bloody marks, while the Frostwing Bat King fared worse; its already horrific wound had widened further, blood pouring out.


    Of course, they were far from the high wall, so aside from Walker Adam, no one else could see that the Frostwing Bat King was indeed heavily injured.


    "You beast, you''ve picked the wrong opponent to compare consumption with a alchemist."


    Taking advantage of the moment when they both retreated, Blaze Regret flicked his fingers, sending healing pills flying into the mouths of the red flame creature and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous without hesitation, causing their wounds to heal rapidly.


    "Alas, from what I know, this kid has another spirit beast, just a hair''s breadth away from lord level. Is he hesitant to use it?"


    On the high wall, Stun Haze watched below and fanned the flames, his smile towards Blaze Regret carrying a hint of provocation.


    Not only did you have to engage in battle yourself, but you also had to bear the brunt of my actions ruining your reputation. Most importantly, you can''t touch me, this feeling is truly delightful.


    Looking up at Stun Haze, who was high above, Blaze Regret revealed a grin, his face bright with a spring like warmth, though there was a sharpness underlying that smile.


    "Old fool, since you''re eager for death, I guess I''ll have to find you a nice plot for your grave right here."


    Beneath the high wall, three spirit beasts of varying sizes collided violently, unleashing a wild gust of wind that ravaged the area. The surrounding Frostwing Bats hurriedly fled, knowing that even the smallest wave from the clash could mean death or injury for them.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous landed solidly on the abdomen of the Frostwing Bat King, sending it flying back with a miserable cry. At the same time, two sharp ice spears sliced through the air in an eerie arc, crossing and stabbing out, each piercing through the arms of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous and pinning it to the ground. Hot blood flowed along the ice spears.


    "Sigh, if only we had released the strongest spirit beast earlier, it wouldn''t have been this brutal," Stun Haze sighed and shook his head, his voice seemingly filled with pity for the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. However, in his heart, he was secretly rejoicing.


    "Rip!"


    The sound of flesh tearing echoed as the Frostwing Bat King, surrounded by Ghost Vine Flowers, finally succumbed to the relentless assault. It was torn apart from the middle by the blood vines of Silver Lin''s Ghost Vine Flower, spilling blood everywhere. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Although they succeeded in slaying the Frostwing Bat King, the condition of the Ghost Vine Flowers was no better. Two of them had their blood vines completely severed around the flower disc, leaving them weak and wilted.


    Silver Lin''s Ghost Vine Flower was also severely injured, with a hideous crack almost running through its entire flower disc.


    "Damn it," Silver Lin gritted his teeth. To eliminate this Frostwing Bat King, the Blood Seal Gate had paid a heavy price, even to the point of describing it as a major loss of vitality.


    Before the Frostwing Bat King''s body hit the ground, the remaining Ghost Vine Flowers tore it into several pieces in anger, scattering flesh and blood in a horrifying display.


    "Buzz!"


    As the Frostwing Bat King''s body split apart, a crystalline ice orb suddenly emerged from its abdomen, exuding a dense chill.


    With a cold snort, Silver Lin opened his palm, and with a gust of wind, the ice orb transformed into a stream of light, quickly landing in his palm.


    "Ice Jade Orb?" Stun Haze''s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of longing.


    This orb, although similar in appearance to those black orbs, contains energy thousands of times greater. A single one can fetch an astronomical price of tens of thousands of gold coins.


    However, Stun Haze quickly suppressed his greed. Despite the Ice Jade Orb''s value, it wasn''t worth turning against the Blood Seal Gate, especially with the unfathomable He Teng backing them.


    It would be foolish to risk offending a Spirit Lord Master for mere tens of thousands of gold coins.


    After dealing with the Frostwing Bat King here, the elders of the Blood Seal Gate showed no intention of helping Blaze Regret. They simply stood silently on the high wall, their gazes fixed in the distance, awaiting the outcome.

 Chapter 290 Pay Back

    Hovering in mid air, the Frostwing Bat King''s expression was pained as a thick layer of ice quickly covered its wounds. Even a lord level being was shaken by the fierce punch of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, causing its vital energy to surge.Furthermore, the lord level Frostwing Bat King couldn''t even utilize half of its strength due to the massive wound on its abdomen.


    Staring at the immobilized Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, a cruel look emerged in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes. Opening its mouth, it quickly formed another sharp ice spear.


    "Whoo!"


    With a long roar towards the sky, the Red Claw slightly lifted, and as the blazing spiritual power gathered, small pale yellow suns descended overwhelmingly. Upon nearing the Frostwing Bat King, they exploded with bangs, the terrifying energy causing the king''s body to crash down like a meteor, leaving a sizable crater on the ground.


    With a slight flicker, Blaze Regret glanced at the Frostwing Bat King''s fierce eyes, revealing a strange smile. His silver white hand clenched and smashed down hard on the king''s head.


    "Hiss!"


    With a thud, the Frostwing Bat King''s head hit the ground. Anger filled its eyes, feeling deeply insulted that a mere Spirit Imperial Master dared to join the battle personally.


    Thus, it flapped its wings fiercely, cutting through the air with a sharp gust as it suddenly darted away.


    With a slight smirk, Blaze Regret turned his body, and pale yellow flames erupted beneath his feet as he sprinted toward the high wall with incredible speed.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s face suddenly lift with a sinister smile, Stun Haze''s heart skipped a beat. This kid plans to use the Frostwing Bat King to take him out!


    "Swish!"


    Blaze Regret''s foot tapped the wall, and his body briefly paused before shooting up the wall like an arrow. His terrifying speed immediately caused a stir among the onlookers.


    "Not good!"


    As Blaze Regret''s smiling face came into view up close, Stun Haze''s lips turned pale. The fear in his heart intensified, especially with the Frostwing Bat King rapidly approaching from behind.


    When the Frostwing Bat King swooped in, everyone on the high wall had already scattered in panic, except for some of the Stun Family members caught in the middle and unable to move quickly.


    "Master Stun, a pleasure to meet you," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile. He then spun in mid air, landing on one knee beside Stun Haze, while the enraged Frostwing Bat King followed closely, its massive shadow engulfing the entire wall.

    "Great Elder, should we¡­?"


    Hearing the elder''s voice beside him, Silver Lin waved his hand slightly. His cloudy eyes glanced at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous below the wall, a mocking expression flashing across his face.


    Taking this chance to eliminate Stun Haze might not be such a bad idea.


    "You little brat, I won''t forgive you!" Stun Haze''s furious voice rang out as he quickly darted down from the wall, with other Stun Family members following closely.


    The Frostwing Bat King''s approach was incredibly fast, and in just a few breaths, Blaze Regret had no time to withdraw the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous into the spiritual portal and then quickly release it. Otherwise, the severely injured Frostwing Bat King might very well be blasted apart with a single punch.


    "You just wait!" Stun Haze spat out a threat as he turned to leap off the high wall.


    "It''s not a good habit to keep people waiting."


    However, just as Stun Haze''s body was about to leap, Blaze Regret grabbed him and pulled him back. With a powerful punch, he struck down in front of Stun Haze''s terrified eyes.


    "You¡­"


    Stun Haze barely uttered a word before Blaze Regret''s fist shattered the hastily constructed ice mirror in front of him. Blaze Regret smirked coldly and turned his body, allowing the Frostwing Bat King''s sharp claw to swipe past him.


    "Clang!"


    A massive gap was instantly torn into the high wall. Stun Haze''s robe caught on the tip of the Frostwing Bat King''s claw, dragging him out swiftly. He dangled in the air, staring blankly at the hundred foot drop below.


    Fear gripped him so tightly that he momentarily forgot to summon the Ice Spike Fish.


    "Hiss!"


    With a flash of cold light in its eyes, the Frostwing Bat King lowered its head. Its foul smelling claw engulfed Stun Haze''s face, silencing his terrified screams abruptly.


    As the life left Stun Haze''s body, the people of Bloodstone Pass stood in shock.


    "Master Stun, that Frostwing Bat King was truly formidable. We owe Elder Stun our gratitude for his sacrifice. Otherwise, even if Blaze Regret had risked his life to fight it, Bloodstone Pass might not have remained intact."


    Standing up, Blaze Regret looked down at Stun Zen, whose forehead veins throbbed, his voice filled with sincere gratitude.


    Blaze Regret clasped his hands in gratitude, his voice echoing on the high walls. His demeanor appeared deeply thankful, almost to the point of tears.


    "You little brat, I''ll tear you to pieces!"


    Looking up, Stun Zen''s anger boiled like magma within a volcano, ready to erupt. He wished he could rush up the high wall and burn Blaze Regret alive.


    However, the harsh words stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken, causing Stun Zen''s face to flush with anger.


    "This kid is ruthless," Silver Lin sneered coldly.


    Blaze Regret first used the Frostwing Bat King''s power to kill Stun Haze. Although he acted stealthily, Silver Lin, a ninth level spirit Imperial master, clearly caught the lightning fast punch. If Blaze Regret hadn''t destroyed the ice mirror first, Stun Haze would have had ample opportunity to escape from the Frostwing Bat King.


    Then, before Stun Zen could get angry, Blaze Regret immediately expressed his gratitude, even mentioning his own contributions to Bloodstone Pass. In such circumstances, even Stun Zen couldn''t openly attack a hero in front of many powerful figures.


    "Young friend, you speak too highly," Stun Zen suppressed his overwhelming murderous intent, speaking deliberately, his cold gaze fixed on Blaze Regret as if trying to pierce him.

 Chapter 291 Pay Back

    "Master Stun is indeed wise and just, but it''s a pity for Elder Stun Haze, sigh!""We should thank the young friend; if it weren''t for him buying time, the walls of Bloodstone Pass would have been destroyed by the Frostwing Bat King long ago!"


    "A true hero among the youth."


    Hearing the praise around him, Stun Zen''s chest heaved rapidly, his facial muscles trembling with anger, his teeth grinding loudly.


    This feeling of having nowhere to vent his fury was enough to drive a person mad.


    "Master Stun, rest assured. I will definitely slay that Frostwing Bat King and give Elder Stun Haze the justice he deserves." Blaze Regret clenched his right hand into a fist, pressing it firmly against his chest. He then glanced at Stun Zen solemnly before leaping back down the wall.


    "So tragic..."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s faint voice, Stun Zen''s anger surged, nearly causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which he struggled to swallow back down.


    "I want you dead, I want you dead!" Stun Zen roared internally, his eyes slightly lowered.


    As the Frostwing Bat King slowly consumed Stun Haze''s body, it hovered in the sky, its wings vibrating. The spiritual power contained within the eighth level spirit Imperial master slightly healed its originally battered body.


    Of course, the large, gaping wound remained shockingly visible.


    With a slight effort, the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros slowly withdrew its right arm from the ice spear embedded in the ground. The intense pain was enough to drive an ordinary spiritual beast insane, yet it maintained a detached expression, as if the bleeding arm belonged to someone else.


    With its right arm extended, the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros exhaled lightly, then covered the ice spear piercing its left arm with its broad hand and swiftly pulled it out.


    A fine line of blood sprayed from the tip of the spear, forming a crimson arc. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Its fierce demeanor left everyone on the high wall gaping in shock.


    This Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros was truly ruthless!


    With a slightly moved expression, Blaze Regret approached the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros from behind, discreetly placing the Healing Star Pendant on its body. He also took out a regular healing pill and fed it to the creature.


    The healing power of the Healing Star Pendant was incredibly potent, so he needed to take measures to conceal it and avoid drawing attention from prying eyes.


    With its eyes slightly closed, the blood holes on the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s arms gradually closed, and in an instant, the wounds vanished without a trace. The light emitted by the Healing Star Pendant also dimmed slightly.


    With a slow step forward, the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros shrugged its shoulders, brimming with fighting spirit as it moved toward the Frostwing Bat King. The latter''s current strength was not much greater than that of the Bone Armored Rhino. As long as the opportunity was seized, it could be killed with a single blow.


    Seeing the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros return to the battlefield so quickly, many on the high wall were in disbelief. Could it be that Blaze Regret had given it a fourth grade pill? Otherwise, how could there be such a terrifying healing effect?


    "Red, use Cat Charm to quickly deal with the Frostwing Bat King," Blaze Regret said gravely. After several rounds of attacks, the Frostwing Bat King was on the brink of collapse. The end of this battle needed just a single opportunity.


    Nodding its small head, Red once again unleashed the Solar Flare. The small sun, whistling like a torrential downpour, shattered countless Frostwing Bats, and the back of the Frostwing Bat King burst open with terrifying energy, tearing its flesh.


    Roaring down in anger, the Frostwing Bat King looked at the two clusters of flames in Red''s eyes. An indescribable fierceness rose on its face, and it charged heavily toward the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Boom!"


    Sand waves swept across as the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s clenched fist precisely struck the Frostwing Bat King''s chest. A roaring rhino''s phantom appeared at its fist''s edge.


    At that moment, the fierceness in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes vanished, replaced by intense panic. It had clearly seen the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros lying weakly on the ground, seemingly ready to shatter with a light hit.


    However, that scene lasted only a moment. The Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist was already at its vulnerable spot, right where the blood wound was!


    Shaking its small head, Red felt a bit dizzy. Confusing a lord level spiritual beast was immensely challenging. Fortunately, the Frostwing Bat King was already severely injured; otherwise, even if Red exhausted all its spiritual power, it wouldn''t be able to make the Cat Charm effective.


    "Boom!"


    A silver white beam of light pierced through the Frostwing Bat King''s chest. The violent energy seemed to form a majestic rhino behind it, roaring to the sky.


    The immense power of the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s punch had completely pierced through the Frostwing Bat King''s entire body!


    A glint of cold light flashed in its eyes as the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its foot and fiercely kicked the Frostwing Bat King. The immense force sent the latter sliding several hundred feet away, creating a long trail of dust in its wake.


    The Frostwing Bat King''s wings fluttered against the ground, its body twitching slightly. It was clear it still had a breath left, but it was merely a struggle before death.


    In less than a moment, it would die on its own.


    As the dust settled, a dazzling ice pearl emerged from the Frostwing Bat King''s exposed abdomen, emitting a pure, icy aura. The intensity of its emanations was even more pronounced than that of an Ice Jade Pearl!


    "Ice Marrow Pearl?"


    Everyone on the high wall was momentarily stunned, then they collectively gasped in shock. The Frostwing Bat King contained an Ice Marrow Pearl, which was dozens of times more precious than an Ice Jade Pearl!

 Chapter 292 True Face

    This revelation stirred not only the ordinary spiritual masters but also the elders of the Blood Seal Gate, as the value of an Ice Marrow Pearl was extraordinarily high.Before anyone could react, Stun Zen, unable to contain himself, was the first to act.


    "Swish!"


    Leaping down from the high wall, Stun Zen eyed the Frostwing Bat King greedily. A streak of black energy flickered in his palm, transforming into a black blade. He then turned his head, his smile appearing quite gentle.


    "Young friend, you''ve done your best. Thank you for your contributions to Bloodstone Pass. As for the Frostwing Bat King, let me handle it for you."


    Stun Zen''s faint laughter echoed, and a cold, fierce look instantly gathered in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes. A subtle killing intent emanated from him.


    Earlier, when he was risking his life against the Frostwing Bat King, Stun Zen had been watching from the high wall, hoping he''d die sooner. But as soon as the Ice Marrow Pearl appeared, Stun Zen immediately intervened, aiming to kill the dying Frostwing Bat King and conveniently take the valuable Ice Marrow Pearl for himself.


    And he did it all while pretending to lend a helping hand.


    Such greed was truly disgraceful.


    "Master Stun, you''ve finally torn off your mask," Blaze Regret said, his gaze icy as he stared at Stun Zen. Behind him, Red and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros quickly closed in.


    "Young man, I don''t know what you''re talking about. However, it''s very dangerous down here. You should quickly return to the high wall. I''ll handle things here," Stun Zen said, feigning concern, as if he hadn''t orchestrated the battle between Blaze Regret and the Frostwing Bat King.


    After speaking, Stun Zen''s gaze shifted to the gleaming Ice Marrow Pearl, filled with greed.


    "You old thing, how shameless can you be? Brother Blaze was the one who took down the Frostwing Bat King. What does that have to do with you?" Walker Adam''s face flushed with anger, his voice full of fury.


    "Walker Adam, watch your mouth. My father acted out of righteousness, and that kid should be grateful," Stun Qistin sneered, a satisfied expression on her face.


    In her mind, Blaze Regret had no choice but to swallow his anger. How could he dare to confront a ninth rank spirit Imperial master?


    "Stun Zen is going to snatch the Ice Marrow Pearl. That kid is in trouble."


    "This is too overbearing. After all the hard fighting, he just jumps down and wants to claim the spoils of war for himself!"


    "Shh, keep your voice down. Don''t you want to live? That''s Stun Zen we''re talking about. He could kill you with a single hand."


    Whispers erupted atop the high wall, and countless eyes focused on Blaze Regret, many of them filled with a touch of pity.


    At the Bloodstone Pass, known for its blood soaked history, the principle of the strong devouring the weak is the norm. It wouldn''t matter if Stun Zen snatched the Ice Marrow Pearl or even killed Blaze Regret on the spot; no one would stand up for him. This is the harsh reality.


    "Heh, weren''t you quite tough? Be bold and show your arrogance again," Walker Nani thought to herself, coldly amused at the sight of Blaze Regret''s predicament.


    At this moment, everyone who had interacted with Blaze Regret was filled with mixed emotions, some delighted at his misfortune, others mocking him. Only a few sighed helplessly.


    After the previous battle, they all recognized that Blaze Regret was merely a seventh rank spirit Imperial master; otherwise, he wouldn''t have almost been killed by the Frostwing Bat King multiple times.


    "He''ll probably be back soon, looking quite embarrassed."


    Everyone thought the same, but most felt no contempt. After all, standing opposite Blaze Regret was one of the strongest in the Bloodstone Pass.


    Perhaps anticipating this, Stun Zen sneered disdainfully, his black blade slicing through the air in a ruthless arc as it unflinchingly aimed for the Frostwing Bat King''s head.


    "Master Stun, why do you and your useless son both enjoy stealing from others?"


    The helpless sigh from behind made Stun Zen''s pupils constrict. The knife that was about to pierce the Frostwing Bat King''s head froze mid air, as if time had stopped.


    In that brief moment of Stun Zen''s distraction, Blaze Regret shifted, firmly grasping the Ice Marrow Pearl embedded in the Frostwing Bat King''s abdomen in his palm.


    "You little brat, say that again!" Stun Zen raised his head, his crimson eyes fixated on Blaze Regret, a violent killing intent erupting from within him.


    The massive Bone Armor Rhino stomped closer to Stun Zen, its skeletal foot crashing down, shattering the Frostwing Bat King''s skull.


    "It seems Master Stun not only enjoys stealing but also has poor hearing," Blaze Regret replied coldly. The Ice Marrow Pearl in his hand transformed into a streak of light, darting into the Ice Lotus of his second spiritual portal. This moment was so subtle that even Silver Lin of the Blood Mark Gate failed to notice it.


    "Very good, very good!" A sinister and cruel smile emerged on Stun Zen''s face. He hadn''t expected that the one who would bring about his son''s demise would be this kid standing before him. Moreover, the third elder should also meet his end at his hands. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The thought that the Stun family''s top combat strength had all perished because of Blaze Regret caused Stun Zen''s killing intent to almost manifest physically, ready to burst forth.


    "I''ll soon make you understand how terrifying it is to be alive!"


    Stun Zen''s voice brimmed with murderous intent as the powerful spiritual energy erupted from the Bone Armor Rhino. It stepped forward, expressionless, and unleashed a punch.


    "High level Imperial grade Lord tier spiritual technique, Heavy Cannon Fist!"


    A torrent of energy, akin to a volcanic eruption, surged forward from the rhino''s fist, carrying an overwhelming pressure that violently surged towards Blaze Regret. This punch was enough to obliterate an ordinary eighth tier imperial grade spirit beast.

 Chapter 293 Fighting Above Level

    Indeed, the power of the Bone Armor Rhino was formidable. The momentum of this strike caused the air in front to explode successively."Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Shattering Fist!"


    With a glint in his eyes, Blaze Regret sidestepped just in time, while the waiting Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros struck with its fist, creating a deafening sound as it collided with the vast energy.


    "Boom!"


    The ground beneath seemed to tremble at that moment, and the corpse of the Frostwing Bat King lying nearby was shredded by the energy whirlwind released from the collision. Blood mixed with the violent winds created a visually shocking scene.


    At the instant the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros attacked, the Bone Armor Rhino moved, black mist swirling beneath its feet, transforming into a wisp of black smoke that surged forward. Its white fist tore through the air, striking like lightning towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s head.


    "Hmph!"


    Sensing the rushing wind from the front, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros let out a cold grunt, its five fingers clenched into a fist, fearlessly meeting the attack. In an instant, a thunderous explosion rang out..


    After a fierce collision in an instant, the two similarly sized spiritual beasts were forced back repeatedly. However, the Bone Armor Rhino only staggered seven steps, while the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was pushed back several dozen steps, clearly indicating the difference in their strength.


    Although the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros possessed the true dragon bloodline, it still hadn''t reached a level where it could fully merge its power with its body. It could only barely summon its strength through significant effort, but given the formidable power of the Bone Armor Rhino, it was hard to deliver a fatal blow.


    The consequence of failure was that the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros could end up being blown apart.


    In the distance behind them stood the towering city walls. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s outstretched hand trembled slightly; the powerful strike from the Bone Armor Rhino left its entire arm feeling extremely sore and numb.


    "Bone Armor Rhino, use your horn to charge! Crush it!"


    At Stun Zen''s sinister command, the Bone Armor Rhino stomped its foot, shattering the ground beneath it, and charged forward with fierce momentum. The single horn on its nose extended instantly, shining with a cold, white light like a sharp blade.


    The sharp horn pressed against the abdomen of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and the Bone Armor Rhino maintained its relentless assault, crashing into the thick city wall with a furious momentum.


    "Boom!"


    With a loud crash, the sturdy city wall shattered like fragile tofu, creating a depression over ten feet wide at the point of impact. Thick clouds of dust radiated in all directions.


    Feeling the massive tremor underfoot, the people on the high wall quietly swallowed their saliva, casting tense glances toward the depression.


    Perhaps Blaze Regret''s Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous has been crushed to pieces under this fierce impact.


    "Heh, a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon, overestimating itself," Stun Qistin sneered, as if he had already foreseen the outcome of the battle.


    "Crack!"


    A small piece of rubble fell from the depression, but the expected scene did not occur. Instead, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous appeared fierce, its palms glowing with dazzling dragon marks, tightly gripping the horn of the Bone Armor Rhino.


    A faint dragon roar echoed around.


    Upon hearing this sound, most of the spirit beasts on the high wall uncontrollably prostrated themselves, shivering as if in worship. Only a few extremely powerful beings managed to barely control their bodies, preventing them from kneeling.


    "Dragon mark, is this the legendary reversion to an ancestral form?" He Li whispered, his eyes widening in shock, revealing his inner turmoil.


    It is said that the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s ancestors possessed half the bloodline of a true dragon!


    Dragon, the weighty word pressed down on everyone, leaving them momentarily breathless.


    That is the supreme being of this continent!


    "Roar..."


    Facing the bloodthirsty gaze of the Bone Armor Rhino, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous let out a suppressed roar from its throat. The dragon marks on its palms became even clearer, as the trace of true dragon bloodline within it was being fully activated.


    "A reversion to an ancestral Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous!" Stun Zen''s face turned slightly grim. This unexpected turn of events made him feel uneasy, as if the gap in rank had been forcibly closed at this moment. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous raised its right palm, forming it into a blade. It swiftly struck down at the Bone Armored Rhino''s horn, emitting a brilliant dragon mark that burst with intense light.


    "Swish!"


    A silver light flashed, and the Bone Armored Rhino let out a piercing howl. Its sharp horn, resembling a dagger, fell instantly, with the break smooth as a mirror. It took a moment before blood began to seep out.


    After punching the Bone Armored Rhino away, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous seemed to lose all its strength, heavily sitting on the shattered rocks. It then raised its right palm, squinting slightly.


    The once flawless silver armor now had numerous cracks, with crimson blood trickling down. Clearly, even though it had severed the Bone Armor Rhino''s sharp horn, the blade like edge had penetrated its palm''s defenses. Both were severely injured.


    Witnessing the eerie silence below, many held their breath, not daring to make a sound that might disrupt the tense atmosphere. Stun Qistin and others were shocked, unable to believe what they saw.


    A mere seventh rank Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous managed to fight a ninth rank Bone Armored Rhino to a standstill?


    Even more astounding was Silver Lin on the high wall. Only stronger spirit Imperial masters like him understood the immense gap between two ranks. Any other seventh rank Imperial gradr spirit beast wouldn''t withstand even a single punch from the Bone Armor Rhino, being blown apart. K

 Chapter 294 Trump Card

    Yet, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, with a trace of true dragon bloodline, managed a double knockout.It''s hard to imagine just how terrifying it would be if the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s bloodline were fully activated.


    As Stun Zen''s gaze flickered uncertainly, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous suddenly raised its palms, clapping them together forcefully.


    "Boom!"


    A faint wave of energy spread from its palms, causing the small stones on the ground to tremble slightly before all fell silent again.


    "Boom!"


    With another clap of its palms, the energy wave suddenly grew much stronger, and tiny cracks spread beneath it, crawling up the sunken city wall it was leaning against.


    "What the hell!" Stun Zen frowned, puzzled. This kind of spirit beast, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, had never appeared at Bloodstone Pass, so no one was familiar with this Pulse Shock Spiritual Technique.


    "Boom!"


    The third muffled sound spread, and the wave of energy, almost tangible, spread like lightning. The Frostwing Bats circling in the sky exploded instantly, forming a blood mist like deep red fireworks blooming and hanging in mid air.


    Caught in the energy wave, the Bone Armor Rhino''s body shuddered, and tiny, almost invisible cracks appeared on its bony surface. The crisp cracking sound made Stun Zen''s face change drastically.


    "What kind of spiritual technique is this?" Stun Zen''s hair stood on end. It was the first time he had witnessed such a bizarre spiritual technique, filling him with a sense of panic.


    No matter what, he had to stop the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous from continuing to use it!


    As the thought crossed his mind, Stun Zen watched in horror as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s palms slowly clapped together, the terrifying ripple spreading like a tidal wave.


    "Crack!"


    Cracks raced across the Bone Armor Rhino''s body, rapidly covering it. A mere touch would cause it to shatter on the spot.


    Suddenly, apart from the whistling wind, a deathly silence enveloped the area around Bloodstone Pass.


    Having unleashed the fourth level of the Pulse Shock, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s palms slowly lowered, its indifferent eyes revealing deep exhaustion. This massive expenditure was undoubtedly taxing for it.


    The higher the level of the Pulse Shock Spiritual Technique, the greater the power, but the more incredible the spiritual energy consumption.


    "Damn it."


    A fierce glint flashed in Stun Zen''s eyes as he gritted his teeth, reaching into his clothing. A white spiritual object, resembling a heart, appeared in his palm, radiating surging spiritual energy.


    "Kid, this was meant to save my life, but because of you, I have to use it," Stun Zen said fiercely, then hurled the white heart towards the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Gazing down below, Silver Lin wore a contemplative expression, which quickly turned to one of shock.


    "The Heart of White Bones, who would have thought Stun Zen actually managed to bring it out from the Abyss of Black Nether!" Silver Lin murmured softly. As someone who had ventured into the Abyss of Black Nether before, he was well aware of how terrifying the Heart of White Bones truly was.


    Watching as the Heart of White Bones merged into the Bone Armor Rhino, Blaze Regret''s eyes darkened slightly. He hadn''t expected Stun Zen to have such a trump card up his sleeve.


    A pale white light radiated from the Bone Armor Rhino''s body, and its cracks began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Long, sharp bone spikes shot out from its chest, presenting an intimidating sight. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Caressing the long bone spikes on its chest, the Bone Armor Rhino lifted its face to look at the panting Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, a sinister smile slowly curling at its lips.


    The advantage had shifted in an instant.


    As the aura of the Bone Armor Rhino suddenly surged, the scene fell silent once more.


    At this moment, under the amplification of the Bone Heart, the Bone Armor Rhino was infinitely close to the lord level. Although this amplification would weaken over time, it was undeniable that the Bone Armor Rhino was now much stronger than before.


    With a mocking smile, the Bone Armor Rhino moved its feet, slowly walking towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. With every step it took, everyone''s hearts trembled, anticipating a gruesome scene to unfold soon.


    "Roar!"


    Staring intently at the Bone Armor Rhino, Red''s eyes were filled with rage. However, as it took a step forward, an irresistible suction force erupted from behind it, swiftly pulling it back into the Spirit portal.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret''s eyes turned sharp as he walked towards the Bone Armor Rhino without hesitation.


    Even if Red used Flame Breath, it was still no match for the Bone Armor Rhino and would most likely be killed with a single punch. Without a second thought, Blaze Regret summoned it back immediately.


    "You, a mere Spirit Imperial Master, want to go head to head with the Bone Armor Rhino?" Stun Zen sneered, his expression full of ridicule. This kid probably didn''t know what the word ''death'' meant.


    "Brother Blaze!" Walker Adam''s heart pounded as the Heavenly Eye on his forehead opened obscurely. But seeing the Ice Lotus still absorbing the energy of the Ice Marrow Pearl, he became anxious. The Bone Armor Rhino, known for its strength, was not something that could be compared to Steel Lin''s kind.


    Even a slight touch could turn him into a mist of blood!


    Even though he had anticipated this outcome, Blaze Regret still stood forward because the Bone Armor Rhino intended to kill his spirit beast.


    He couldn''t, and wouldn''t, allow the Bone Armor Rhino to kill the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous.


    With a flicker in its eyes, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s body moved slightly, a chill of unprecedented anger crossing its face.


    Its massive body stood before Blaze Regret, while the Bone Armor Rhino''s eyes were filled with thick mockery. Then, its fist slightly raised, it aimed at Blaze Regret''s head and punched down fiercely.

 Chapter 295 Consecutive breakthroughs

    If that punch landed, Blaze Regret''s head would likely burst like a watermelon.Clenching his teeth tightly, Blaze Regret gathered all his spiritual energy into his fist, then met the Bone Armor Rhino''s punch head on with a force that tore through the air.


    Even if he could barely withstand it, this arm would be completely shattered.


    Blaze Regret closed his eyes slightly, thinking bitterly to himself. Despite this, he never felt a hint of regret in his heart.


    "Boom!"


    A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted, blowing his short hair at the front.


    The anticipated pain did not come, and Blaze Regret opened his eyes in surprise. In his line of sight, a silver hand tightly gripped the Bone Armor Rhino''s fist, and a massive figure stood like a rock behind him.


    "Wow!"


    A chorus of astonished gasps echoed from the high walls because that figure was the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous!


    Caught by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, the Bone Armor Rhino was momentarily stunned, and then a surge of violent anger erupted in its heart. It clearly hadn''t expected the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous to still be able to stand at this moment.


    Facing the Bone Armor Rhino''s ferocious face, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s eyes remained as calm as still water. It extended its left hand, gently placing Blaze Regret behind it.


    After completing this set of actions, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s gaze suddenly turned sharp. It stomped its foot fiercely, and an incredibly unyielding aura erupted from within it, forcing the Bone Armor Rhino to retreat a few steps instantly.


    "At the eighth level?" Stun Zen''s eye twitched, and his face immediately turned extremely grim. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s sudden breakthrough was definitely not good news for him.


    The elders of the Blood Seal Gate, observing the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s violent aura, also narrowed their eyes. They vaguely sensed that besides a surge in strength, there seemed to be something indescribable about the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous at this moment.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist struck the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest without any embellishment. Sharp bone spikes pierced through the entire fist, yet the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s face showed no sign of pain. Immediately, the other hand clenched tightly and struck out fiercely.


    In an instant, its fists, brimming with violent spiritual power, rained down on the Bone Armor Rhino like raindrops. With a series of deep, muffled thuds, the Bone Armor Rhino''s body quickly retreated, while the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous followed closely, its fists striking out like lightning, creating what seemed like phantoms.


    The Bone Armor Rhino wanted to counterattack, but under the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s relentless assault, its raised fists were hammered back down. The immense force made its arms feel slightly numb.


    "Roar!"


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s fists landed solidly on the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest, its eyes filled with intense fervor. At this moment, it rediscovered the long lost thrill of battle, and its usual indifference had vanished.


    A fierce momentum spanning millions of years was reemerging on its body! It seemed to envision its ancestors standing proudly atop towering cliffs, unleashing invincible blows to the heavens!


    The battle instincts dormant in its blood were finally being awakened the moment Blaze Regret stood up for it!


    "Boom!"


    Another muffled sound echoed, with waves of violent energy rippling outwards from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous as the center. Its strength had unexpectedly risen another level!


    "Damn it, how is this possible!" Stun Zen''s face changed dramatically, shouting in disbelief. The Bone Armor Rhino could barely hold its own against the eighth level Imperial grade Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, but with another level up, there was no way to suppress it without a lord level spirit beast!


    "Ninth level!" A look of shock flashed in Silver Lin''s eyes. The outcome of this battle seemed to be decided.


    On the high walls, people gazed in awe at the overwhelmingly powerful Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. Consecutive breakthroughs weren''t unheard of, but they typically occurred after absorbing rare treasures. Witnessing a two level advancement through combat alone was a first for them!


    "Have I finally gained your recognition?" A relieved smile spread across Blaze Regret''s face. Previously, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous fought with a sense of indifference, never fully unleashing its potential. But now, it was finally showcasing its true form.


    This was the true embodiment of power!


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous had completely transformed!


    "Roar!"


    Watching the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous relentlessly pummel the Bone Armor Rhino, Red''s eyes flickered with light, realizing it was now the weakest link in terms of strength.


    A long trail of dust was kicked up by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s frenzied assault, trailing on the ground from the rapidly retreating Bone Armor Rhino.


    "My young friend, can we negotiate?" Stun Zen was getting anxious. The Bone Armor Rhino was undoubtedly his strongest spirit beast, and any mishap would jeopardize the Stun Family''s standing at Bloodstone Pass in the future.


    "It''s too late," Blaze Regret said softly, his voice chilling Stun Zen to the core.


    Silver spiritual energy surged on the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s fist. As it gazed into the terrified eyes of the Bone Armor Rhino, a cold gleam flashed across its face. Powerful energy burst forth, shattering the air wherever its silver fist went, and a deep explosion echoed in everyone''s ears.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist heavily struck the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest, unleashing a violent gust that sent its body shooting straight into the city wall like a cannonball. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Everyone on the high walls swallowed lightly, their scalps tingling. If that punch had landed on them, there wouldn''t even be a trace left.


    Shaking off the blood from its hand, the fervor in the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s eyes gradually faded. It lifted its foot and stomped fiercely on the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest. Under the immense force, the Bone Armor Rhino''s body was pressed tightly into the sunken wall.

 Chapter 296 Admit Defeat

    Reaching out to grab a sharp bone spike, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous lowered its head, its eyes revealing a sinister smile like a demon from hell, causing the Bone Armor Rhino to shiver involuntarily."Young friend, can we have a talk?"


    Seeing the actions of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous, Stun Zen was a bit confused but still called out in a panic. In his heart, he finally felt some regret. If he had known it would come to this, why provoke this young man?


    "Father, what''s there to talk about with him? If he dares to harm the Bone Armor Rhino even a little, Elder Peter and others will make him pay a heavy price!" Stun Qistin shouted angrily, his eyes wide open. Behind the Stun Family stood a force that even the Blood seal Gate couldn''t afford to offend.


    Hearing this, Walker Lin''s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a mysterious glint flashed in his old, cloudy eyes.


    It seemed like he had received some remarkable news.


    Stun Zen trembled upon hearing this and was about to tell Stun Qistin to shut up, but the latter''s arrogant voice sounded again.


    "I order you to quickly make your spirit beast back off obediently. Don''t think that just because you have a little strength, you can act recklessly in Bloodstone Pass. Some people are beyond your ability to offend." Stun Qistin placed his hands on his hips, his face showing an unquestionable expression.


    "Some people seem to have quite the backing," lightly rubbed his chin with his palm and, after a moment, Blaze Regret nodded with a smile at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous.


    But so what if they have backing? If he were to reveal his own backing, even the empire''s central powers might not be enough to compare.


    Moreover, his backing could come to his aid at any moment.


    With Blaze Regret''s signal, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous grinned, and its massive hand suddenly yanked backward. With a crisp crack, a sharp bone spur was forcefully torn from the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest.


    As the bone spur snapped, a blood curdling scream erupted from the Bone Armor Rhino''s mouth, echoing for tens of thousands of feet.


    Seeing that Blaze Regret dared to take action, Stun Qistin became instantly flustered, and the commanding expression on her face quickly disappeared. She realized that her previous arrogant words did nothing but provoke her opponent.


    "Foolish," Silver Van said calmly, his voice unhidden, allowing most people on the high wall to hear it clearly. Their eyes showed a hint of disdain.


    If Blaze Regret had family in Bloodstone Pass, there might have been leverage to make him hesitate. But provoking a strong wanderer would only invite reckless revenge.


    Finally realizing this, Stun Qistin turned pale and could barely stand.


    "Young friend, if we can let this matter go, I can compensate you with three hundred thousand gold coins!" Stun Zen shot an angry glare at Stun Qistin, then looked at Blaze Regret, his voice filled with urgency.


    Hearing Stun Zen back down, many strong individuals on the high wall felt it was surreal. This was Stun Zen, a powerful ninth rank spirit Imperial master, in all of Bloodstone Pass, besides Silver Lucas, there was actually someone who could make him wary.


    And this person was just a young man!


    However, just as everyone thought Blaze Regret would accept this huge compensation, a cold voice suddenly rang out.


    "Sorry, I refuse."


    Seeing Stun Zen''s incredulous expression, softly said, "Master Stun, if you think I''m just a rookie passing through, you''re gravely mistaken. Since you have a powerful backing, if I let you go, I might be the one in danger in the future."


    As Blaze Regret finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s eyes. Its spirit power covered hands swung forcefully, pulling out the bone spurs from the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest one by one.


    It wouldn''t forget that these spurs had pierced through its fists several times.


    Looking at the dying Bone Armor Rhino, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous lifted its foot and stomped down on its head without hesitation.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones shattering echoed, and Stun Qistin''s face on the high wall turned extremely horrified. If she hadn''t made threats, Blaze Regret would likely have accepted the enormous compensation of three hundred thousand gold coins. Now, with the death of the Bone Armor Rhino, she was undoubtedly partly responsible.


    "Sigh, Master Stun is quite a figure, but how did he end up with a daughter like that? Truly unfortunate for the family."


    "Heh, she exposed her cards so easily. I wonder what kind of force is really behind the Stun Family."


    "Even if that force is powerful, so what? With the death of his chief spirit beast, Stun Zen is crippled for at least three years. This injury is far more severe than breaking a spirit contract." sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The whispers around her made Stun Qistin''s lips turn pale. She vaguely realized the trouble her actions had brought upon the Stun Family. The grim looks from Walker Lin and others guaranteed that the now crippled Stun Family wouldn''t have a bright future.


    And all of this was caused by her arrogance.


    "You little brat, I''ll fight you to the death!"


    With the Bone Armor Rhino dead, Stun Zen trembled, warm blood spurting wildly from his mouth. He raised his head, glaring viciously at Blaze Regret, a black blade quickly forming in his palm.


    Blaze Regret smirked slightly, clenching his fist. If he could shatter spirit Imperial beasts, a spirit Imperial master was no threat.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, after charging a few steps forward, Stun Zen suddenly turned around, transforming into a black shadow and swiftly darting away, like a trail of black smoke.


    "You little brat, I''ll make you regret this!"


    "Ghost Shadow Step, huh," Walker Lin murmured, a cold laugh escaping his lips as he watched Stun Zen''s retreating figure.

 Chapter 297 Open

    "He actually ran away." Blaze Regret was slightly taken aback. When he realized it, he couldn''t help but find it amusing. Stun Zen was indeed quite the character, fleeing so decisively even with his family left behind. But admittedly, escaping was the wisest choice at this moment.After all, preserving strength is the only way to have a chance for revenge.


    "Since you''ve said that, I suppose I have to take some action."


    Blaze Regret lifted his head, his indifferent gaze falling on Walker Sin. "You know what to do next, right?"


    Walker Sin shivered slightly, surprised that Blaze Regret was speaking directly to him. He quickly nodded, his fierce old eyes sweeping over the members of the Stun Family.


    No matter what tricks you try to pull, before Stun Zen returns, we''ll just have to deal with you. After all, you never intended to leave the Walker family any room to survive!


    Seeing this, Walker Adam finally felt a slight sense of relief. Thankfully, the Walker family''s elder hadn''t completely disappointed him.


    "Silver Ray, the Walker family is actually going to take on the Stun Family. Hurry and get the elders of the Blood Seal Gate to wipe them out!" Stun Qistin hastily sought advice from Silver Ray. If Walker Sin really started a massacre, the weakened Stun Family wouldn''t have many who could withstand it.


    "Heh, doesn''t your Stun Family have some big figure backing you? Do you still need us?" Silver Van shielded Silver Ray behind him, laughing coldly. His words made Stun Qistin feel as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hearing this, Walker Lin also let out a cold snort. The Stun Family''s ambitions were not small. The fact that the Blood Seal Gate hadn''t wiped them out was already fortunate, and now they dared to ask for help? It was utterly absurd.


    On the high wall, silence prevailed. All the gazes directed at the Stun Family members carried a mix of pity and ridicule. It seemed that soon, the Stun Family would be erased from Bloodstone Pass, all because of Stun Zen''s incapable daughter.


    Every member of the Stun Family turned their eyes to the trembling Stun Qistin, their looks filled with undisguised grief and anger.


    "Boom!"


    Just as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous returned to Blaze Regret''s side, a fierce blast of air suddenly swept over. In the distance, black energy surged from the direction of the Black Abyss, rising like a giant black mushroom cloud.


    "The seal on the Black Abyss has opened ahead of time?" Walker Adam murmured in shock.


    "Hiss!"


    A massive swarm of Frostwing Bats frantically fled from that direction, among which six enormous black shadows emanated astonishing energy.


    Witnessing this scene, everyone on the high wall felt their nerves tighten. These six black shadows were all Frostwing Bat Kings!


    An overwhelming pressure surged from the sky. As everyone on the high wall gazed at the six formidable-looking Frostwing Bat Kings, their eyes trembled. Could it be that Bloodstone Pass really couldn''t be defended today?


    Just one Frostwing Bat King was enough to cause chaos, and with six descending at once, it undoubtedly cut off any chance of survival for them!


    Standing on the ground and looking up into the distance, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered uncertainly. The survival of Bloodstone Pass didn''t really concern him that much. After all, Blaze Wahab and the others were still far away from here and wouldn''t fall prey to the Frostwing Bat Kings. Moreover, his goal was always the mysterious Black Abyss.


    Within that abyss lies an extremely rare mystical beast!


    However, the situation changed with the presence of Walker Adam, one of his few friends. Although Walker Adam had always been very respectful towards him, Blaze Regret always considered him an equal.


    "Forget it, I''ll find a chance to send that kid away later," Blaze Regret thought. As for the rest of the Silver family, he couldn''t care less. Whether they lived or died had nothing to do with him.


    "Great Elder, what should we do..." Walker Nani''s voice carried a hint of sobbing, lacking any of her usual arrogance.


    "Sigh!"


    Walker sin shook his head with a sigh and said softly, "Go and ask that kid for help. If he agrees, perhaps we might have a slim chance of survival today."


    "Ask him?"


    Walker Nani immediately stopped crying and glanced sideways at Blaze Regret with a hint of disdain in her voice. "He can''t even guarantee his own safety, let alone ours. Besides, Stun Zen just escaped with his life and he will surely face terrifying retaliation in the future. I don''t want to get involved with such bad luck."


    The speed of the Frostwing Bat Kings was terrifyingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had swooped down. Amidst the drifting black snowflakes, Blaze Regret stood with a slightly grim expression, while the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists, its eyes filled with intense battle spirit. It wanted to test whether its current strength was enough to crush a Frostwing Bat King with a single punch.


    As the Frostwing Bat Kings gazed down at the two small figures below, they exchanged glances and, surprisingly, bypassed Blaze Regret''s position, diving straight into the crowd, leaving a trail of blood.


    As lord level spirit beasts, they possessed a certain level of intelligence, understanding how to avoid danger. From the large silver figure below, they sensed a lethal threat, so without hesitation, they abandoned their attack on Blaze Regret.


    "Silver Van, quickly send a message to the Sect Master!" Silver lin''s angry shout was immediately drowned out by the chaotic noise of the Frostwing Bats.


    The remaining Ghost Vine Flowers stayed around the members of the Blood Seal Gate, with blood red vines interconnecting to form a vine wall. Even after attacking for a while, the vine wall remained sturdy, prompting a Frostwing Bat King to turn its attention elsewhere in search of new targets.

 Chapter 298 Silver Lucas

    In an instant, the high walls of Bloodstone Pass transformed into a hellish scene, with torrents of blood streaming down the walls.Seeing this, Blaze Regret sighed lightly in his heart but felt no sympathy. The people of Bloodstone Pass were mostly lawless, many of whom had committed heinous crimes and were unwelcome in other towns, leading them to this place out of necessity.


    The way the Stun Family ruthlessly to killed Blaze Wahab and others revealed just how insane these people were.


    Bloodstone Pass, a place stained red with blood, was also a land of sin. Their fate was a consequence of their own actions.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, a piercing scream resounded from the high wall. A Frostwing Bat King ascended into the sky, its massive wings flapping, and beneath its claws hung the pale faced Walker Nani.


    "Sis!" Walker Adam''s heart burned like fire at the sight. Despite their constant disagreements, Walker Nani was still his sister. Although they weren''t related by blood, he would have reacted the same if it had been any other member of the Walker family.


    "You idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and save me!" Walker Nani, despite her pale face, couldn''t help but shout. It was a habit she had accumulated over the years.


    "Brother Blaze!" Walker Adam looked at Blaze Regret, pleading for help.


    With a grim expression, Blaze Regret nodded, patting the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros on the shoulder and quickly stepping back. It was only because of Walker Adam that he reluctantly agreed to help. Otherwise, even if Walker Nani died right in front of him, he wouldn''t have paid any attention.

    Gathering spiritual power in its fist, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros squinted its eyes and delivered a punch. A silver white energy shockwave sliced through the air, piercing through the Frostwing Bat King''s chest in an instant.


    Witnessing this ferocious punch, many on the high wall forgot their battle with the Frostwing Bats, staring dumbfounded at the beam of light shooting skyward, with the end of the beam faintly resembling a rhinoceros''s head.


    The power of that single punch was terrifying!


    Lowering its fist, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s chest heaved rapidly. That punch had nearly drained all the spiritual power from its body, even emptying the spiritual power within its spiritual portal.


    "No wonder it''s a spirit beast that Master Magi constantly thinks about," Blaze Regret thought to himself. A spirit beast capable of defeating an opponent across ranks was rare, and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with its true dragon bloodline, was undoubtedly one of them.


    Suspended lifelessly in the sky, the light in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes slowly faded. Its body tilted and fell powerlessly, its claws releasing their grip.


    "Ah!"


    Walker Nani screamed as she plummeted uncontrollably, cursing Blaze Regret a million times in her heart. Was he trying to kill her with the fall from such a height? Even now, she felt no gratitude towards Blaze Regret, only deep seated hatred.


    However, before she hit the ground, a swarm of Frostwing Bats rushed at her. Each one that landed on her tore away a piece of flesh, and one even bit off her right ear.


    Surrounded by the Frostwing Bat horde, Walker Nani''s terrified screams lasted only a few seconds before they ceased entirely, as a Frostwing Bat with blood red eyes viciously tore open her throat.


    "Big sister!" Walker Adam felt as if a heavy hammer struck his chest, leaving him heartbroken. A faint red glow flashed briefly at the center of his forehead before disappearing.


    "I did my best," Blaze Regret thought to himself as he glanced in Walker Adam''s direction. His indifferent gaze then scanned the surrounding battlefield.


    After swallowing a few spirit restoring pills, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros gradually returned to its peak form. A fierce aura erupted from within it once more, intimidating the surrounding Frostwing Bats within a ten meter radius, leaving them too frightened to approach.

    The remaining five Frostwing Bat Kings showed no concern for their fallen companion, continuing their slaughter with excited, eerie cries.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a blood red streak of light suddenly shot down from the sky, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. It traced a magnificent arc of crimson light through the air, slicing through the bodies of the five Frostwing Bat Kings with lightning speed.


    After tearing through the last Frostwing Bat King''s body, the blood red streak paused slightly in the air, revealing itself as a gleaming cross shaped blade.


    "It''s the Sect Master Silver! Sect Master Silver has appeared!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly. The mysterious master of the Blood Seal Gate was finally making an appearance. He wondered what the master would feel upon seeing his sons'' severed arms.


    It seemed like the real trouble was about to begin.


    The sharp cross blade sliced through the air, tracing a long, semicircular arc before being caught steadily by a blood red hand. With a gentle twist, the hand set the cross blade spinning rapidly, emitting a piercing whooshing sound that caused the circling Frostwing Bats to momentarily pause before they frantically fled to either side of Bloodstone Pass.


    Blaze Regret gazed at the blood colored figure with narrowed eyes. The spirit beast''s appearance was not much different from a human, except for its blood tinted skin, exuding an overwhelming aura of bloodlust.


    The Blood Fiend General, a high level Lord grade spirit beast with blood attributes! The moment this spirit beast appeared, the vast Bloodstone Pass fell into silence, and even the howling cold wind froze in place.


    Its gaze slightly lowered, the Blood Fiend General looked down coldly at Blaze Regret. Its blood red armor, with sharp, defined edges, emanated a majestic aura. Then it shifted its gaze, slowly raising its hand and gently clenching it at the soon to fall five Frostwing Bat Kings.


    "Bang!"


    Five clusters of crimson blood mist exploded in the air, transforming into streams of light that quickly merged into the Blood Fiend General, intensifying the bloodthirsty aura it exuded.

 Chapter 299 Jinx

    "A blood attribute spirit beast is indeed bizarre."Blaze Regret frowned slightly in his heart. "However, this Blood Fiend General clearly has no wings, yet it can hover in the air. Normally, a lord grade spirit beast shouldn''t possess this ability. Could it be related to Silver Lucas''s cultivation technique?"


    Blaze Regret''s speculation proved to be quite accurate.


    Silver Lucas''s cultivation technique, known as Blood Swirl, could create an invisible blood vortex beneath the spirit beast''s feet, lifting it up. Although its mobility couldn''t match winged spirit beasts like the Frostwing Bat, its role in battle was extremely significant.


    "Silver Van, what happened to your arm?"


    A hoarse voice sounded beside Silver Van, as a small blood red tornado mysteriously appeared atop the high wall. The tornado split open, revealing the figure of a middle aged man with a sullen expression.


    "Master!"


    Upon seeing this person, Silver Lin and the others showed a trace of joy on their faces. With him present, minor threats like the Frostwing Bat King couldn''t possibly breach the defenses of Bloodstone Pass.


    Earlier, the Frostwing Bat King''s body had no resistance against the Blood Fiend General''s cross blade, being sliced as easily as cutting through tofu, which proved the Blood Fiend General''s formidable strength.


    "Father, and mine too!" Silver Ray pushed through a few figures, gritting his teeth as he spoke. His left arm also had an empty sleeve swaying loosely.


    "What exactly happened?" Although Silver Lucas''s voice was extremely calm, it sent shivers down the spines of the surrounding elders. They felt a bone chilling coldness in his tone.


    "Father, it was that boy. Not only did he bully my second brother, but he also attempted to kill me!" Silver Van turned his gaze, pointing fiercely in Blaze Regret''s direction, causing an uproar.


    Could it be that both brothers'' arms were rendered useless because of Blaze Regret?


    Faced with Silver Van''s accusation, Blaze Regret merely squinted his eyes without any intention of explaining. Having mingled in the world for so long, he understood the harshness of life, only with a strong fist does one have the right to speak.


    "You''ve gone too far, young man." Silver Lucas''s eyes were filled with gloom as he slowly looked in Blaze Regret''s direction. Meanwhile, the Blood Fiend General in mid air gently flicked the cross blade, effortlessly catching the spinning, sharp blade in its hand.


    The sharpest point of the blade was aimed directly at Blaze Regret.


    "Master Silver, I think you know the truth of the matter." Blaze Regret glanced at Silver Ray and then at Stun Qistin, returning to silence. Some things are best left implied.


    "A child of the Stun family, huh? I''ve said before, she will bring you trouble sooner or later." Silver Lucas looked calmly at Silver Ray, but his words made Stun Qistin, in the distance, suddenly freeze.


    The strongest figure in Bloodstone Pass, with a light remark, had undoubtedly criticized her thoroughly.


    In short, she was deemed a jinx!


    Hearing Silver Ray''s words, the crowd on the high wall had rather peculiar expressions. After all, he was the leader of Blood seal Gate, with a keen eye for people. Stun Qistin not only brought calamity to Silver Ray and Silver Van but even her father, Stun Zen, almost died at Blaze Regret''s hands because of her!


    "Father, I will annul the engagement with her now."


    Silver Ray gritted his teeth, reached into his clothes with his right hand, and threw out a white piece of paper. He looked coldly at the pale faced Stun Qistin and said, "From today onwards, our engagement is nullified, and Blood seal Gate will not allow you to step in any further."


    Explore stories on empire


    It was no joke, if he didn''t end this misfortune now, next time, it might not just be an arm he loses. Just look at Stun Zen fleeing in panic; the entire Stun family almost faced annihilation because of her!


    The white paper fluttered in the air, and Stun Qistin swayed, nearly collapsing to the ground. She had agreed to the engagement to enjoy the resources of Blood seal Gate, but now it was all for nothing.


    Walker Adam glanced at Stun Qistin and then withdrew his gaze, feeling no emotion. Compared to Walker Nani''s death, he didn''t even have the heart to watch the ensuing commotion.


    Silver Lucas nodded in satisfaction, showing approval for his younger son for the first time. Losing an arm to learn a lesson was better than losing his life in the future.


    "Young man, although I would like nothing more than to kill you immediately, I still want to hear your explanation." Silver Lucas''s gaze fell on Blaze Regret, and his hoarse voice carried a strong questioning tone, which was rather uncomfortable.


    Seeing Silver Lucas''s aggression, the murmurs that arose from Silver Ray''s annulment fell silent. The gazes directed at Blaze Regret were filled with a sense of pity.


    In front of Silver Lucas, Stun Zen didn''t even have the courage to speak loudly, and Blaze Regret had already found it extremely challenging to deal with a Stun Zen. Anyone could imagine the outcome of facing Silver Lucas. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, Blaze Regret merely lifted his eyes coldly, looking at Silver Lucas without expression.


    "I never need to explain my actions to anyone."


    After a pause, Blaze Regret continued, "Certainly not to you."


    Upon hearing this, Silver Lucas''s already sullen expression became even darker, like the ominous signs of an approaching storm, extremely frightening.


    "Youth, I''ve seen many arrogant people, but none of them ended well," Silver Lucas said slowly.


    "Is that so? I''d like to see for myself," Blaze Regret replied with a grin, showing no trace of fear on his face. His calm demeanor left many wondering what kind of trump card a seventh level spirit Imperial master could possibly have to face a powerful spirit lord Master so confidently.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as Blaze Regret finished speaking, the Blood Fiend General in mid air narrowed its eyes coldly.

 Chapter 300 Awake

    The cross blade in its hand became enveloped in a scarlet aura and shot out violently, tracing a blood red, sharp arc through the air.A high level lord tier spiritual technique, the Whirling Blood Blade!


    Seeing the Blood Fiend General unleash such a fierce attack right away, the crowd on the high wall was in an uproar.


    Silver Lucas was going for the kill!


    The cross blade carried a sharp wave, violently swooping down from the sky. As it spun, it formed a blood colored light wheel capable of slicing through everything, leaving a slender, deep mark in the air.


    "Little brother, run!" Walker Sin''s heart screamed frantically. In front of the second tier high lord grade Blood Demon General, Blaze Regret had no chance of resistance. But if he fled, there was still a chance of survival.


    After all, Blaze Regret was a dual source spirit Imperial master. If he sacrificed one of his spirit beasts to hold off the Blood Demon General, preserving his life wouldn''t be too difficult.


    "Go to hell!" Silver Van and Silver Ray''s faces were vicious, their eyes glaring at Blaze Regret with sinister hatred.


    "You ruined my plans; this is your retribution." Stun Qistin''s eyes were filled with venomous resentment. She blamed Blaze Regret for her humiliation. If it weren''t for him, Silver Ray wouldn''t have divorced her publicly, causing her disgrace.


    The rapidly spinning blood colored cross blade tore through the air, appearing indescribably sharp from afar.


    "You''ve been asleep for so long, it''s time for you to wake up." Blaze Regret''s eyes reflected the long light arc, and a gentle murmur escaped his lips.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s calm expression, Silver Lucas''s eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    The light arc transformed from the cross blade shot forward, and just when it was less than ten feet from Blaze Regret, a cold aura suddenly erupted from his body, freezing the surrounding air as if it had turned to ice.


    "Whoosh!"


    An ice blue gleam suddenly flashed in mid air, colliding heavily with the blood colored light arc of the cross blade. With a crisp "ding" sound, the cross blade rebounded, tracing a blood colored streak before landing back in the Blood Demon General''s hand.


    Clutching the icy cross blade, the Blood Demon General squinted slightly.


    Suspended in mid air was an ice lotus about a meter in size. Its light blue glow shimmered across its surface, and due to the intensified cold, tiny ice crystals began to form around it, looking particularly splendid.


    "What is that?"


    The sudden appearance of the ice lotus startled everyone, a flicker of confusion passing through their eyes.


    "Blood Demon General, break that ice lotus!"


    In Silver Lucas''s cold voice, the Blood Demon General''s cross blade shot out fiercely, slashing at the side of the ice lotus. It quickly rebounded, and the sharp blade only left a faint white mark on the surface of the ice lotus.


    The Blood Demon General''s eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a swift wave of his hand, the cross blade flickered madly in the sky, forming a blood colored line as it fiercely hacked at the ice lotus.


    "Whoosh!" Discover exclusive tales on empire S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly, a wave of freezing cold air burst forth from the ice lotus, forcing the Blood Demon General to catch the returning blood red cross blade. His eyes narrowed slightly as he stepped back several dozen yards in mid air.


    Suspended quietly in the sky, the petals of the ice lotus began to unfold under the watchful eyes of many. A faint mist swirled around the ice lotus.


    Within the ice lotus lay a completely crystalline Ice Control Irenix, resting atop the lotus heart. After a moment of stillness, its wings suddenly spread open with a rustle. Clear ice veins appeared on its broad wings, which shimmered, complementing its graceful form.


    "A lord level spirit beast, how is this possible!" Silver Lucas''s heart shook violently. The spirit beast that suddenly emerged from Blaze Regret''s spirit portal possessed lord level strength, and it was the extremely rare Ice Control Irenix!


    As Silver Lucas stood in shock, an uproar erupted on the high wall. In addition to fire and rock attributes, Blaze Regret also had an ice attribute spirit beast!


    Doesn''t this mean Blaze Regret is a triple source spirit master?


    Upon realizing this, many people felt their mouths go dry. Double source spirit masters were exceedingly rare, with only one ever appearing in the entire history of the Sun Moon Empire. Yet this unassuming young man turned out to be a triple source spirit master!


    If this news reached the empire''s center, it would undoubtedly cause a significant stir.


    "A triple source spirit master, how could this damned guy possibly be a triple source spirit master!" Stun Qistin''s face turned pale, a sense of powerlessness rising within her. She could vaguely sense that the aura of the Ice Control Irenix was no less powerful than the Blood Demon General!


    "This one cannot be left alive!" Silver Lin and the other elders of the Blood Seal Gate exchanged glances, nodding silently. They could all see the ruthlessness in each other''s eyes.


    "Better to offend an old man than a poor youth" is an unchanging truth.


    But since the grudge had already been formed, any potential threat must be eliminated in advance!


    Especially this young man, whose talent and temperament were both extremely troublesome.


    Understanding this point, the elders of the Blood Seal Gate directed the nearly recovered Ghost Vine Flower to slowly climb down the city wall. Sharp blood tendrils tore at the ground, quickly burrowing into it.


    These actions were quite concealed, so much so that even the people on the high wall didn''t notice a thing.


    "Master Silver, do we need to continue this battle?" Blaze Regret asked calmly.


    In the distance lay the Black Abyss. Although he was eager to explore it, he was prepared to fight to the end if Silver Lucas insisted on a deathmatch.


    After all, the Ice Control Irenix was no longer what it used to be!

 Chapter 301 Ice Soul Technique

    With a fierce glint in his eyes, Silver Lucas squinted slightly as he watched the ice lotus merge into the Ice Control Irenix. His already gloomy expression darkened further.This spirit beast must be eliminated; otherwise, it could potentially threaten the position of the Blood Seal Gate in the future!


    "Boy, if you think relying on this Ice Control Irenix gives you the right to challenge the Blood Seal Gate, then you''re too naive."


    Staring intently at Blaze Regret below, Silver Lucas''s expression turned fierce: "Blood Demon General, use the Blood Sacrifice Strike to smash that Ice Control Irenix''s body!"


    "Buzz!"


    The Blood Demon General nodded, slowly extending his right hand as the cross blade in his hand began to spin violently. The high speed rotation made it resemble a blood colored vortex, emitting a strong scent of blood.


    "Ding!"


    With a gentle flap of its transparent wings, the Ice Control Irenix gazed at the Blood Demon General hovering in mid air. A series of ice crystal threads quickly wove around it, forming an incredibly complex ice formation.


    The formation spun gently, and, if looked at closely, a flawless ice lotus seemed to be slowly forming in the center of the formation.

    Watching this scene, Blaze Regret was slightly astonished. Currently, the Ice Control Irenix, like the Blood Demon General, was at a second tier imperial grade high lord level. At this stage, it shouldn''t be able to comprehend new spirit techniques, especially given that, unlike the Red, the spirit techniques possessed by the Ice Control Irenix were extremely rare.


    It was only upon reaching the seventh tier imperial grade that the Ice Control Irenix would comprehend the powerful high lord level spirit technique, the Ice Heaven Funeral! The current scene was completely beyond Blaze Regret''s expectations.


    "Ding!"


    With a gentle flap of its wings, the Ice Control Irenix caused the formation to dissipate, leaving only a massive ice lotus floating in front of it. The tip of each ice lotus petal glimmered with a bone chilling frost. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is this..."


    After a slight hesitation, an incredulous light flashed across Blaze Regret''s eyes: "The spirit technique from the Ice Lotus sage''s cultivation method, the Ice Soul Technique, Ice Soul Cold Flower?"


    The Ice Soul Technique is a spiritual technique cultivated by the Spirit King expert, Master Ice Lotus. In the Sun Moon Empire, this is no longer a secret. However, knowledge about the offensive spiritual skill Ice Soul Cold Flower that comes with the Ice Soul technique is extremely rare.


    Blaze Regret, through ancient records, clearly knows that when Master Ice Lotus was just a spirit Imperial master, he once used this Ice Soul Cold Flower to kill a powerful lord level spirit beast!


    Therefore, when he saw the ice lotus floating in front of Ice Control Irenix, his expression was exceptionally peculiar.


    Unexpectedly, Master Ice Lotus not only failed to seize his body but also provided him with a grand gift in the process.


    The crystal clear ice lotus stands erect in front of Ice Control Irenix, slowly rotating. It targets the core of the Blood Demon General, with deep blue energy rapidly converging. As each ice lotus petal unfolds, a massive spiral ice spike extends from the core.


    Instantly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth frantically surged toward the spiral ice spike, causing the tip to glisten with a chilling light.


    "Hmph."


    A gloomy cold snort echoed. The Blood Demon General gently placed his palm on the back of the rotating cross blade. From the rotating blood colored vortex, streams of impactful light spewed forth overwhelmingly, resembling crowded blood colored little snakes, with a stench that made one''s scalp tingle.


    Witnessing the relentless onslaught of the Blood Demon General, Ice Control Irenix gently flapped her wings, and the gigantic spiral ice spike silently shot out from the lotus core. The ice lotus shattered explosively, transforming into pale blue ice crystals that trailed behind the spiral ice spike, forming a long icy tail.


    In the sky, the powerful offensive of the Blood Demon General and Ice Control Irenix collided like lightning. However, the anticipated loud noise did not occur. The sharp spiral ice spike slowly flew through the group of blood colored snakes. When it reappeared in the sky, its originally clear body was stained with indelible blood grime.


    As for those blood colored little snakes, their numbers drastically reduced, leaving a circular void in the center.


    "Ding!"


    After retreating slightly, several transparent ice mirrors appeared at the spot where Ice Control Irenix had just been. The blood colored little snakes fiercely crashed into them, and after shattering three ice mirrors, they finally dissipated entirely.


    With an indifferent gaze, the Blood Demon General watched the spiraling ice spike shooting toward him. He raised the cross blade in his hand and spun it quickly, instantly shredding the spiraling ice spike into countless icy fragments.


    The fierce clash seemed to last long, but in reality, it occurred in just a few breaths. The people on the high wall were all shocked. Could this young man really hold his own against Silver Lucas?


    This was the mightiest presence at Bloodstone Pass!


    "This can''t be true!" Silver Van and Silver Ray were stunned. Blaze Regret was younger than them, yet at such an age, he was already able to confront a spirit Lord master?


    This realization dealt a significant blow to their hearts.


    "Damn it!" Stun Qistin gritted his teeth, leaving a deep imprint on the city wall with his hand.


    "I must admit, you''ve surprised me," Silver Lucas said after a moment of silence, his voice carrying a chilling murderous intent.


    In response, Blaze Regret merely smiled. Meanwhile, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros beside him flashed a cold light in its eyes.


    With its silver hand open, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros fiercely clawed at the ground. The hard rock was as fragile as glass before it, shattering instantly. It forcefully pulled out a blood colored vine covered in spikes.

 Chapter 302 Shameless

    "Clang!"As the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros pulled upward, a massive crack tore open the ground below, and the body of the Ghost Vine Flower was wrenched out entirely.


    "Ghost Vine Flower?"


    Everyone was momentarily stunned, and strange glances turned toward the elders of the Blood Seal Gate.


    To resort to sneak attacks at their age, how shameless!


    With the struggling Ghost Vine Flower underfoot, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros didn''t stop. It continued tearing open the ground, forcefully pulling out the remaining three Ghost Vine Flowers.


    After wrapping its hand around them a few times, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros looked at the intertwined blood colored vines and nodded in satisfaction. At the other end of the vines, four flower heads were stacked together, their expressions one of terror.


    "In three breaths, have your Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros release the Ghost Vine Flowers, or you will surely regret it," Silver Lucas''s voice was icy and sinister, his eyes filled with a chilling intent.


    Standing on the high wall, several elders from the Blood Seal Gate also wore grim expressions. They had assumed that the four Ghost Vine Flowers attacking simultaneously would easily take down Blaze Regret. However, they had overlooked the presence of the ninth rank advanced Imperial grade Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros standing beside Blaze Regret!


    Earth element spirit beasts are extremely sensitive to underground movements.


    "Regret?" Blaze Regret smirked, a hint of mockery in his smile.


    Looking down at the spiraled blood colored vines in his palm, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly shook its arm. The large flower heads flew into the air and crashed down like meteors onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    The entire area around Bloodstone Pass seemed to tremble for a moment. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros swung its arm wildly, smashing the Ghost Vine Flowers on the other end of the vine into the ground repeatedly, creating deep pits in the earth.


    "Stop it!" Silver Lucas shouted angrily when he saw this.


    Just as the Blood Demon General was about to rush down and slay the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros with his sharp cross blade, an ice blue shadow suddenly blocked his path. The magnificent ice wings clashed rapidly with the blood red cross blade.


    The Ice Control Irenix, enhanced by the Ice soul cold Flower, was able to engage in close combat with the Blood Demon General for a short time.


    "Since Master Silver has asked you to stop, let''s give him some face," Blaze Regret said nonchalantly, patting the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros on the back with a smile.


    With one last powerful swing, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros dragged the Ghost Vine Flowers over and stacked them up, then stomped on them without hesitation.


    This domineering display made many present sweat nervously. It was the first time the spirit beasts of the Blood Seal Gate''s elders had been treated in such a manner.


    Seeing the battering below cease, the Blood Demon General let out a sinister snort and returned to Silver Lucas''s side. In the rapid exchange of blows earlier, he hadn''t gained any advantage; the Ice Control Irenix''s wings were equally sharp.


    "Heh, what a coward, only daring to bully the weak. When faced with the powerful Blood Seal Gate, he doesn''t even have the courage to strike," Stun Qistin sneered coldly, his voice dripping with disdain.


    "No!"


    Upon hearing this, Silver Lin reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting in terror. The elders of the Blood Seal Gate shared his reaction, their faces showing deep fear.


    The elders'' uncharacteristic behavior puzzled Silver Lucas, causing him to frown in confusion. But then his expression changed drastically.


    Holding several long vines, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its head and glanced at Stun Qistin. Its indifferent gaze lingered on the elders for a few seconds before it raised its massive foot. With a burst of violent force and a low sonic boom, it stomped through the flower heads of the four Ghost Vine Flowers.

    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s domineering stomp crushed several Ghost Vine Flowers, their scarlet blood flowing across the ground, strikingly vivid. Witnessing this scene, everyone held their breath, especially Silver Lin and his group, whose faces turned to grief and anger as they uncontrollably spat out mouthfuls of hot blood.


    Indifferently withdrawing its foot, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros delivered a swift kick, sending four Ghost Vine Flowers flying, their bodies shattering into pieces mid air.


    "This isn''t my fault," Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly at the people on the high wall. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros acted on its own, not under his command. Known for its extremely irritable temper, it had once chased Blaze Regret for miles over a few Lava Fruits.


    For this reason, when Stun Qistin''s mocking voice rang out, Silver Lin and the others didn''t hesitate to hurriedly try to stop it, but it was too late. Discover more content at empire


    Seeing the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomp four Ghost Vine Flowers to death, Stun Qistin''s face turned as white as a sheet, trembling uncontrollably like a leaf in the wind.


    "That mouth really is filthy."


    Many people''s minds echoed the same sentiment. They''ve seen shameless people before, but never to this extent.


    "It''s not my fault, it''s all him!" Stun Qistin quickly pointed at Blaze Regret, trying to redirect the blame.


    "Get lost!"


    With a sinister expression, Silver Ray flashed in front of the terrified Stun Qistin. With his only remaining hand, he delivered a fierce slap across her face.


    "Slap!"


    The force made everyone flinch, and they watched as Stun Qistin''s body fell from the high wall.


    Cracks spread beneath her as Stun Qistin lay on the ground, her hair disheveled and her mind buzzing. Her pale face was blank and dazed.


    Looking at his slightly swollen palm, Silver Ray spat in disdain. Given his lower strength, if it had been Silver Lin and the others, Stun Qistin''s head might have exploded entirely.

 Chapter 303 Finally open

    "You''ve gone too far," Silver Lucas glared coldly at Blaze Regret, his voice icy."Master Silver, are you thinking of making a move?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly, as the three spirit beasts beside him stepped forward. If the Ice Control Irenix could hold off the Blood Demon General for even a moment, Blaze Regret felt confident he could erase Silver Lucas from existence.


    "I''m not afraid of you!" Silver Lucas, clearly at his limit, was filled with rage.


    Just as the Blood Demon General raised its cross blade, a loud explosion echoed from the direction of the Black Abyss. A vast expanse of black mist rose upward, revealing a bizarre fracture below it.


    Seeing this scene, Silver Lucas''s expression shifted slightly. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. "I have urgent matters to attend to. When I return, I''ll hang your corpse on the high wall!"


    With Silver Lucas''s words, the elders on the high wall exchanged glances. One by one, they quickly sketched blood red spirit portals in the air, from which emerged Ghost Vine Flowers!


    In an instant, a large number of Ghost Vine Flowers descended from the high wall, carrying the elders of the Blood Seal Gate toward the Black Abyss, creating a visually striking scene.


    "Something''s not right," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. These Ghost Vine Flowers, though not as strong as before, still possessed at least a mid tier sixth level Impreial rank. Enjoy new adventures from empire


    Typically, spirit masters focus on cultivating a single spirit beast. For example, Stun Zen, even after his Bone Armor Rhino died, didn''t summon a second spirit beast because he knew that even all his remaining beasts couldn''t withstand a single punch from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    While some do cultivate multiple spirit beasts simultaneously, it was indeed peculiar that all the elders of the Blood Seal gate had done so. Plus, all their spirit beasts were identical!


    "Brother Blaze!"


    Standing on the high wall, Walker Adam looked at Blaze Regret in a daze, feeling a bit puzzled. Then, to his horror, he saw Blaze Regret following the members of the Blood Seal gate towards the Black Abyss!


    "Could it be that his target all along was the Black Abyss?" Walker Sin''s eyelids twitched slightly. As a member of the older generation at Bloodstone Pass, he was well aware of how dangerous the Black Abyss was. Entering it meant almost certain death!


    His lips moved slightly, and Walker Adam shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his forehead, and with a burst of red light, a painful gasp escaped his lips.


    ...


    The black mist hung over the Black Abyss like a cloud cover. Any unfortunate spirit beasts that entered were instantly dissolved, leaving not even a trace behind.


    Surrounding the Black Abyss was a dense forest. From the high wall, it appeared as a thin line, but once inside, one could see how vast it truly was.


    As Blaze Regret walked into the forest, his vision dimmed slightly, and he remained vigilant. Yet, as he emerged from the trees, the anticipated spirit beast attack never occurred.


    What he didn''t see was a piece of eerie white bone rapidly dissolving where he had just passed, with wisps of black mist lingering around it.


    Patting the Ember Flame on his shoulder, Blaze Regret stood atop a massive rock. Before him lay a steep cliff, with lush green forests growing below, quite beautiful in appearance.


    However, Blaze Regret had no appreciation for this beauty, as below lay the Black Abyss, known as the land of death! After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret picked up a stone and lightly tossed it down.


    To his horror, the stone had barely fallen a short distance when the once calm space suddenly erupted with a wisp of black gas, which corroded the strangely shaped stone completely!


    Swallowing hard, cold sweat broke out on Blaze Regret''s forehead. He was relieved he hadn''t acted rashly, or he might have met an unknown death. The Black Abyss was truly too bizarre!


    "Chirp chirp!"


    As Blaze Regret hesitated, an Frostwing Bat suddenly shot out from a nearby rock, circling in the sky before darting off into the distance, as if the massive rock didn''t exist at all. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This rock..."


    Having learned from his previous experience, Blaze Regret was noticeably more cautious this time. From a distance, he threw down a branch, and to his delight, it fell straight through with a crisp sound. This indicated that the rock was indeed an illusion and that there was a landing point below!


    After a moment''s hesitation, Blaze Regret steeled himself, tied a rope around his waist, and gently jumped down. His figure instantly disappeared into the massive rock!


    "Thunk!"


    Landing steadily on a protruding rock, Blaze Regret looked up and couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. From his current vantage point, he could see a thin layer of black mist floating not far above him, with the only gap directly overhead!


    "If someone with less sense were to come here, they''d likely meet their end," he thought with a wry smile. Yet, his eyes soon gleamed with excitement. He had finally entered the Black Abyss and was one step closer to the legendary wood elemental mystic beast!


    Standing on the rock, Blaze Regret scanned the surroundings. Below was still a steep cliff, filled with a dense blackness. The stones were black, the trees were black, and even the patches of water were as dark as ink. In short, this was a world of black.


    Only a few unusual colors stubbornly adorned this monotonous abyss.


    "Crash!"


    With a slight movement of his foot, a few small stones slipped from under Blaze Regret, falling and shattering into countless pieces before even hitting the ground.


    "Strange, the gravity here seems different from outside."


    After taking a few steps down, Blaze Regret''s brow furrowed as he realized that moving here required more than double the effort it did outside. Additionally, it seemed his internal spiritual power was quietly dissipating.

 Chapter 304 Danger Everywhere

    "Luckily, I brought enough rejuvenation pills."Grabbing a protruding rock, Blaze Regret retrieved two round pills from his void realms stone, placing them into his and Red''s mouths. His fear of the Black Abyss deepened.


    In such an unknown place, maintaining a constant sense of fear increases the chances of survival.


    "Crack!"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s foot halted in mid air. He vaguely heard a sound just now. Though it was extremely faint, he clearly caught it.


    It seemed as if something was tearing through the rock...


    "Whoosh!"


    As Blaze Regret''s nerves tensed, the rock he was holding suddenly shattered, and a slender vine shot out, leaving a long bloody scratch on his palm.


    Quickly retracting his hand, Blaze Regret was secretly shocked. Even the attack of a seventh tier Imperial grade spirit beast couldn''t leave a mark on his hand. Whatever this was, it seemed far from ordinary.


    The vine that had slashed Blaze Regret''s hand traced a bizarre arc in the air, darting toward his eyes with lightning speed. Blaze Regret could only stomp his foot and fall off the cliff to evade it.


    "Whoosh!"


    Magnificent ice wings appeared behind him as the Ice Control Irenix caught him in a swift maneuver. Meanwhile, Red clung tightly to Blaze Regret''s robe with its claws, fearing they might fall.


    Lying on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret''s serious gaze fell back to the cliff. Countless slender vines extended from the rock face, spreading hundreds of meters like climbing plants.


    At the end of each vine was a small black orb, which split open to reveal black eyeballs!


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret felt a slight chill run down his spine. It took him a moment to recall the name of this spirit beast in his mind.


    Devil Vine, a mid level lord grade spirit beast with wood attributes.


    The most notable feature of this spirit beast was its massive size. A juvenile Devil Vine could cover hundreds of meters of a cliff wall, while a fully matured one could reach thousands of meters!


    Realizing that a moment''s delay could have led to his death from the Devil Vine''s entrapment, Blaze Regret''s heart raced.


    "Shhh!"


    The vines on the cliff wall suddenly broke free from their constraints, surging toward Blaze Regret on the Ice Control Irenix. Each black eyeball was filled with intense killing intent.


    With a fierce flap of its wings, the Ice Control Irenix rapidly retreated. Tens of thousands of slender vines converged into a thick mass in front of it, like dense seaweed in the ocean, creating a striking and formidable sight from afar.


    The black eyeball hovered in front of Blaze Regret, less than an inch away from his chest. Any closer, and it could have easily penetrated his body.


    Swallowing quietly, Blaze Regret summoned an ice blade in his hand without hesitation and swiftly sliced through the vine.


    Even after the Ice Control Irenix flew a considerable distance away, the Devil Vine remained frozen in its previous posture, as if petrified.


    Witnessing this, Blaze Regret was drenched in sweat. He realized that the Devil Vine''s roots were nearly detaching from the cliff wall. Had the vines been just a bit longer, he might have already become a lifeless corpse!


    "That was close; my life almost ended."


    Breathing a long sigh of relief, Blaze Regret''s limbs were still cold. No wonder the people at Blood Stone Pass dreaded the Black Abyss so much. He hadn''t even reached the bottom and had already encountered two deadly dangers!


    The howling cold wind whistled past his ears, and Blaze Regret knew he could no longer afford any complacency. He had to remain utterly vigilant, or he might not even know how he met his end!


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as they were about to land, the Ice Control Irenix tilted its form, allowing Blaze Regret to quickly leap down. He cautiously surveyed the surroundings, only relaxing once he confirmed there were no threats.


    "The Black Abyss isn''t very large overall. A few rounds should reveal the location of the wood elemental mystical beasts."

    With these thoughts, Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted to the leftmost peak. He decided to start his search there, hoping he wouldn''t encounter anyone from the Blood Seal Gate before that.


    As he carefully walked on the pitch black ground, Blaze Regret scanned the area. The entire Black Abyss was littered with rubble and strangely growing trees. Scattered white skeletal remains lay about, with no one knowing what events had transpired there.


    Fifteen minutes later, Blaze Regret stood before the mountain peak, his gaze slowly scanning the mountain face until it suddenly stopped at a section obscured by a horizontal log. Behind the log, there seemed to be a hollow space.


    Such places were almost everywhere, but Blaze Regret''s eyes were fixed on the hollow behind the log. After a moment, a chilling sensation suddenly shot up his spine. If there was something behind there, he was already surrounded!


    As if to confirm his suspicion, a log gently shifted, revealing a pair of menacing deep yellow eyes behind it. All the logs were pushed to the ground with a series of thuds!


    "Hiss!"


    A blackish Red snake, with a crimson forked tongue, slithered out from the cave behind the logs. Following it, a swarm of snakes emerged from all directions, their cold eyes fixed intently on Blaze Regret.


    "Red Venomous Snakes..."


    Blaze Regret''s mouth felt dry, and his face turned a bit pale. This type of spirit beast was rarely seen in the outside world, even labeled as rare, yet here they were in such great numbers.


    Red Venomous Snake, initially ranked as high level Imperial grade, with a poisonous attribute. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret wasn''t intimidated by the high level Imperial Grade Red Venomous Snakes, but his gaze was fixed on two Red Venomous Snakes atop the cliff. They both possessed the strength of a third tier mid level lord grade!


    While Blaze Regret''s nerves were taut, he failed to notice that the seed inside his clothing seemed to quiver slightly, emitting a faint, sweet fragrance.

 Chapter 305 Finally meet

    The rustling sound echoed on both sides of the mountain peak. In just a moment, the stone walls surrounding Blaze Regret were covered with densely packed Red Venomous snakes. Their cold, triangular pupils stared chillingly at Blaze Regret below, and the hair raising hissing sound reverberated through the area as they flicked their tongues.With a cold gleam in its eyes, Red leapt lightly and landed swiftly on the ground. The pale yellow scorching sun blaze flame suddenly rose from its claws, causing a flash of dread in the eyes of the Red Venomous snakes.


    As Red''s flames flickered, the two Red Venomous snakes at the top twisted disdainfully. Instantly, the Red Venomous snakes below seemed to receive some command and shot out rapidly, filling the air with a pungent stench.


    With a swift move on the ground, Red''s body spun rapidly, forming a scorching sun blaze flame whirlwind around it, shredding the diving Red Venomous snakes into a mist of blood.


    Meanwhile, the Ice Control Irenix with its wings spread wide, remained protectively around Blaze Regret. Its razor sharp icy wings slashed out like lightning, slicing the Red Venomous snakes in half, causing them to fall to the ground with a thud.


    Gazing at the venomous rain of Red Venomous snakes, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel his scalp tingle, also feeling secretly annoyed. Despite his cautiousness, he had still fallen into the trap of the Red Venomous snakes.


    The yellow brown triangular pupils gleamed with excitement as the two lord grade Red Venomous snakes watched the scene below with relish. In their minds, Blaze Regret and his spirit beasts like the Ice Control Irenix were merely struggling desperately. Watching their terrified expressions before death was an intriguing pastime.

    One must admit, some spirit beasts exhibit more perverse tastes than humans.


    Just as the two Red Venomous snakes watched with interest, a purple red circle of light suddenly spread out from Blaze Regret''s body. The densely packed Red Venomous snakes shattered upon contact with the light, turning into a thick poisonous gas that surged towards the inside of Blaze Regret''s clothing.


    Startled, Blaze Regret didn''t have time to react before a massive seed shot out from his clothing with a swish, hovering above his head. The purple red beam of light radiated swiftly in all directions with the massive seed at its center.


    "Boom!"


    Any Red Venomous snake enveloped by the beam of light transformed into dense poisonous gas, leaving not a trace of blood or flesh, all absorbed into the seed. In no time, the once surging Red Venomous snakes vanished completely from the scene.


    Seeing this, the two lord grade Red Venomous snakes were filled with intense fear. Without a second thought, they turned and fled toward the depths of the cave, sensing a deadly threat from the peculiar seed.


    As the figures of the two Red venomous snakes disappeared from sight, Red and the Ice Control Irenix quickly retreated, cautiously eyeing the seed suspended in mid air. Behind them, Blaze Regret squinted slightly.


    From the moment he first saw the seed, he had a vague sense that there was some form of life within it. Now it seemed his intuition was correct.


    Absorbing the emerald green poison gas, the massive seed shook itself with lingering desire and then suddenly darted out, transforming into a purple red stream of light that shot directly into the cave.


    Moments later, purple red light erupted from the cave, accompanied by the piercing screams of the two Red Venomous snakes. Within a few short breaths, the noise ceased entirely, and the seed flew back out.


    The pale red sheen on the seed''s surface cast Blaze Regret''s delicate face in the same color.


    Inside the seed, a small silhouette seemed to be gently pulsing. Though it was very blurry, it was clear that the silhouette''s head was more than twice the size of its body.


    After flickering for a while, the large seed returned to its calm state, as if it hadn''t just slain thousands of Red Venomous snakes in an instant.


    After a moment of hesitation, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth, reached out, and tucked the seed back into his clothing.


    Whatever it might be, since he had already obtained it, there was no reason to let it go. If it hatched into a dangerous creature, he could simply discard it, but if it turned out to be a rare spirit beast, he would have hit the jackpot.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s gaze focused on a stone in the distance, where an emerald green leaf was embedded in a crack. It looked identical to the one he had seen before.


    "It''s really here!"


    Picking up the leaf and examining it closely, Blaze Regret''s face lit up with delight. The leaf''s veins were exquisitely detailed, and its aura was incredibly fresh!


    With excitement, Blaze Regret quickly made his way to the other side of the mountain peak. His heart was pounding, not because he lacked composure, but even a Spirit King expert would feel the same at this moment!


    However, what Blaze Regret didn''t know was that just as he disappeared from the scene, an emerald green figure timidly peeked out from behind a stone, cautiously looking around. It appeared quite adorable.


    Its face, especially, was as endearing as that of a delicate little girl, with big, dark eyes blinking gently before it quickly retreated behind the stone.


    In its arms were three golden fruits, exuding an incredibly sweet fragrance. If Blaze Regret saw this, he would surely be driven mad. These were the Golden Dragon Fruits he had accidentally purchased at Bloodstone Pass!


    This kind of spiritual herb was rarer than some fourth tier herbs, and its shell was extremely hard. Even powerful lord grade spirit beasts might find it difficult to crush them.


    The little green beast gently licked its lips, picked up a Golden Dragon Fruit, and took a bite. A crisp sound echoed behind the stone, and golden liquid trickled down its mouth. But as soon as a drop escaped, it eagerly licked it back up.

 Chapter 306 i Will Kill you

    Such a delicious spiritual herb was extremely rare in the desolate Black Nether Abyss.Especially for a spirit beast with a voracious appetite like this one.


    A black giant wolf, attracted by the alluring scent, couldn''t help but approach. Its cold, dark eyes emitted a chilling sensation that could make one''s entire body go weak.


    This was a mid tier, third level lord grade Black Moon Wolf, considered a dominant force in this area.

    However, just as the wolf was less than a yard away from the stone, a verdant leaf suddenly shot out, effortlessly slicing through its throat amidst its terrified gaze.


    "Snap!"


    The little beast caught the returning leaf with its small hand without even glancing at it, and continued munching on the Golden Dragon Fruit, its adorable face filled with satisfaction.


    As he circled around the towering peaks, a vast swamp unexpectedly appeared before Blaze Regret, with black toxic bubbles rising from it. When they burst, they released a foul, pungent odor.


    A massive log lay across the swamp, and faint fresh footprints could be seen on it.


    "Could it be that the Blood Seal Gate just passed through here?"


    The unique stench of decay from the swamp wafted into his nostrils, causing Blaze Regret''s brow to furrow slightly. Upon entering the Black Abyss, he noticed that the direction he took was obviously different from that of the Blood Seal Gate members, but it wasn''t impossible for them to have an encounter.


    The Black Abyss appeared vast, but it was actually much smaller than one would imagine.


    Gently testing the ground with his foot, Blaze Regret noticed that the log sank only slightly, and he felt assured enough to walk across. With his strength as a seventh tier Spirit Imperial Master, he didn''t have to worry about the danger of falling into the swamp.


    "Hehe, since you caused this young master to lose an arm, you shall repay it with your life."


    On one of the densely packed peaks, a young man with a sinister expression looked down at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with malice. In his hand, he held a packet of deep red powder.


    This powder, known as Gluttonous Powder, would provoke a frenzy of attacks from any spirit beasts or spirit masters that came into contact with it, driving them to consume the flesh and blood of their victims until nothing remained.


    "Go!"


    Silver Van flicked his hand, and the powder was swept across the entire swamp by the cold wind, quickly enveloping it. In an instant, a strange fragrance permeated the air above the swamp.


    As the deep red powder settled on his face, Blaze Regret wiped it with his finger, looking curiously at the substance on his fingertip. Moments later, his expression changed dramatically.


    "Run!"


    A flash of blue light appeared as the Ice control Irenix manifested, swiftly taking Blaze Regret and soaring into the sky.


    At the very moment the Ice control Irenix had just taken off, countless poison arrows shot out from the swamp, perforating the log where Blaze Regret had been standing just moments before.


    "Roar!"


    Before Blaze Regret could catch his breath, a deep roar suddenly echoed from between the peaks, accompanied by a blazing beam of fiery light, the intense heat causing the surrounding air to evaporate.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a powerful flap of its wings, the Ice control Irenix quickly descended to the ground as the crimson beam of fire grazed past its side, instantly melting an ice crystal that had been circling around it.


    Upon landing, Blaze Regret''s expression grew serious. The deep red powder clinging to him couldn''t be shaken off, and even after changing into a black robe, the strange fragrance continued to linger around him.


    Gluttonous Powder, in contrast to the Anorexia Powder, was derived from the Gluttonous Flower, a spirit beast of intermediate lord level. To completely rid himself of this scent, he would need to wash it away with a substantial amount of spiritual energy.


    "If it weren''t for my father sending me here to survey the terrain, I wouldn''t have discovered this surprise," Silver Van sneered repeatedly, as if he could already envision Blaze Regret being torn apart by several spirit beasts.


    "Roar!"


    The earlier roar echoed again as a fiery red figure suddenly plummeted from the sky, greedily fixated on Blaze Regret. It resembled a fire ape, with a protrusion on its back that looked like a volcanic crater. The impressive fiery beam had come from this very creature.


    The Molten Fire Ape, an intermediate lord grade spirit beast, fire attribute.


    "Fortunately, it''s only second tier."


    Seeing the strength of this spirit beast, Blaze Regret let out a slight sigh of relief. Though the Molten Fire Ape''s attributes countered the Ice control Irenix, the latter was still one tier higher. Even if it couldn''t win, it could at least manage a draw.

    However, shortly after the Molten Fire Ape descended, two more figures charged in from the distance, flanking Blaze Regret in a pincer formation, their eyes also gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.


    The sudden appearance of these two spirit beasts caused Blaze Regret''s heart to sink slightly; both possessed the strength of lord level!


    Standing on Blaze Regret''s left was a low tier first grade Ghost Vault Leopard, dark attribute.


    Blocking Blaze Regret''s right side was a spirit beast of equal strength to the Ghost Vault Leopard, and it was unmistakably a rock attribute spirit beast, the Giant Rock Monster!


    Although these two spirit beasts ranked at the bottom of the lord level, they still belonged to that tier, and each had the power to breach half of the Bloodstone Pass.


    "Do you like this grand gift of mine?"


    Standing atop the peak, Silver Van looked at Blaze Regret with a smile that was particularly mocking.


    Raising his face, Blaze Regret''s cold gaze fell upon Silver Van, and a barely audible voice escaped his lips.


    "I will slaughter you."


    As Silver Van watched Blaze Regret''s lips move, he inexplicably shivered, but soon after, his face was filled with thick scorn.

 Chapter 307 Cought You

    Kill me?That requires being alive first!


    A silver white spirit array was drawn before Blaze Regret as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous stepped forward, coldly staring at the Giant Rock Monster. A faint dragon seal materialized before its fist.


    Under the gaze of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, a flash of anger crossed the Giant Rock Monster''s eyes. Its massive fist suddenly struck out, creating a howling wind.


    "Bang!"


    The powerful spiritual energy erupted, and the two spirit beasts, nearly the same size, collided fiercely, sending moist soil splattering in all directions.


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret felt no tension. This low tier lord grade Giant Rock Monster was significantly weaker than the Frostwing Bat King. With the strength of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, it would eventually be blasted apart.


    "Whoosh!"


    A black shadow suddenly darted in, its sharp claws aiming directly for Blaze Regret''s throat. The only spirit beast in the arena capable of such incredible speed was undoubtedly the Ghost Vault Leopard.


    "Clang!"


    The Ice control Irenix moved swiftly, its sharp ice wings extending outwards to slice through the air in a pale blue arc, directly sending the Ghost Vault Leopard flying while leaving a thin line of blood in its wake.


    It was evident that before the Ice control Irenix, the Ghost Vault Leopard was destined to be instantly killed. In terms of both rank and tier, there was a significant gap between the two.


    At the moment the Ghost Vault Leopard was sent flying, deep red flames erupted from the Molten Fire Ape''s fist, carrying a fierce force as it slammed heavily into the Ice control Irenix.


    "Bang!"


    With its wings crossed in front of it, the Ice control Irenix quickly retreated, a patch of charred black marks appearing on its ice wings. The attribute counter proved to be quite a disadvantage.


    "Hehe, in this situation, you still dare to threaten me? You really overestimate yourself." Silver Van cast a contemptuous glance at Blaze Regret, having completely forgotten the incident where he was forced to self destruct his arm by the latter.


    "I must say, you had a good plan," Blaze Regret murmured softly, a chilling light flashing in his eyes. "But unfortunately, you''ve ultimately forgotten one thing: wild spirit beasts without a spirit master cannot synchronize their spiritual energy."


    With a powerful punch, the Molten Fire Ape forced back the Ice Control Irenix. Excitement gleamed in its eyes as it took a step forward, launching another punch with the speed and force of a whirlwind. Each swing of its fist was accompanied by searing spiritual energy, transforming into deep crimson energy orbs that filled the sky, overwhelming the Ice Control Irenix.


    Despite the dense barrage from the Molten Fire Ape, the Ice Control Irenix remained calm. Its wings flapped, and a flawless ice lotus quickly bloomed in front of it, emanating a chilling aura.


    In an instant, the energy orbs collided with the ice lotus, creating a shockwave of spiritual energy. The orbs that missed their target struck the ground, leaving sizable craters.


    The shimmering ice lotus slowly rotated in front of the Ice Control Irenix. Aside from some scorched spots, it remained pristine and translucent.


    "Roar!"


    A furious roar erupted from the Molten Fire Ape as it slammed its fists into the ground. A section of its volcanic back thrust forward, rapidly gathering crimson energy.


    "Whoosh!"


    In a brief moment, the crimson flame energy transformed into a massive beam of light, spanning several dozen meters. As it shot forward, faint red ripples swiftly spread along its path.


    Faced with the oncoming beam, the Ice Control Irenix countered with an icy beam from the ice lotus. In an instant, the two beams collided with immense force.


    "Boom!"


    The collision unleashed an astonishing wave of spiritual energy, creating a storm of contrasting colors across the battlefield.


    Calmly observing the evenly matched beams, the Ice Control Irenix made a slight move. With a crack, the rotating ice lotus shattered, blending its light blue energy into the icy beam. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In that moment, the previously stalemated icy beam pierced through the crimson beam, striking the Molten Fire Ape''s chest. A terrifying blood hole appeared in its chest.


    Dumbfounded, the Molten Fire Ape looked down at the blood gushing from its chest. Its body stiffened for a moment before it crashed to the ground with a thud, and the volcanic crater on its back became dull and lifeless.


    "Useless!"


    Standing atop the peak, Silver Van''s face was particularly gloomy. The powder of the Gluttonous Flower was quite expensive, and his father had paid a great price to purchase it from the central empire. Such a rare powder was not available in the small Bloodstone Pass.


    His expression grew even colder as he watched the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with its iron fist glowing silver, smash the Giant Rock Monster to pieces. The scattered stones seemed to hit him in the face.


    "Just you wait!"


    Leaving these harsh words behind, Silver Van turned around with a frosty expression, only to find his body suddenly stiffen because the furry Red Flame was tilting its head, looking at him. Continue reading stories on empire


    "Young Master Silver, didn''t expect this day to come, did you?"


    On the ground, Blaze Regret held a sharp ice blade, smiling at the gritting Silver Van while Red Flame squatted beside him with a smug look.


    At this moment, Silver Van appeared extremely disheveled, his head pressed tightly against the ground, and above it was Blaze Regret''s foot.


    "What''s the matter, cat got your tongue?" Blaze Regret tapped Silver Van''s face with the ice blade, smiling.


    "Heh, so what if you''ve caught me? My father''s Blood Demon General is no longer something your Ice Control Irenix can compare to. When we meet again, you''ll definitely die a miserable death," Silver Van said with a grim smile, looking at m Blaze Regret from an extremely uncomfortable position.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, though a sense of gravity surfaced in his heart.

 Chapter 308 Secret

    According to the history of Bloodstone Pass, three years ago, the Blood Seal Gate was just a minor power. However, after Silver Lucas and others ventured into the Black Nether Abyss, they suddenly gained the strength to rival the major families.Their rise to power was swift, especially Silver Lucas, who quickly established himself as the foremost power in Bloodstone Pass from an unknown figure.


    All of this was likely closely related to the Black Nether Abyss.


    "So, Young Master Silver, would you mind sharing the secrets of this place with me?" Blaze Regret lightly traced the ice blade across Silver Van''s neck, the cold touch sending a shiver down Silver Van''s spine.


    "You want to know? Beg me on your knees," Silver Van laughed heartily, showing no trace of fear. Instead, his eyes were filled with mocking disdain as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    "Very well, I admire people with backbone."


    Blaze Regret smirked, gently clasping his hand as the sharp ice blade shattered, a sudden move that made Silver Van''s heart skip a beat.


    "Here, a little toy for you." sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a soft chuckle, Blaze Regret retrieved a rope from the void realms stone, tying one end to the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s arm and the other securely around Silver Van''s waist.


    "What are you doing!" Silver Van''s heart raced as he shouted angrily.


    Taking a few steps forward, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros glanced coldly at Silver Van, who was being dragged by the rope. It then raised its arm and began spinning rapidly. Instantly, Silver Van, at the end of the rope, became a series of afterimages revolving around the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    The world in Silver Van''s eyes turned extremely blurry, and the high speed spinning induced a nauseating feeling and an overwhelming dizziness.


    "I will kill you!"


    Silver Van shouted threateningly, but his voice came out jumbled and chaotic.


    "I''ve never tasted ape paws before; they should be good."


    Blaze Regret cheerfully held the ice blade, slicing off the Molten Fire Ape''s two paws. These were a delicacy, having been served once at a tavern in Velorian City, though at an exorbitant price.


    The crackling flames danced gently on the firewood as Blaze Regret set up a rack, threading the two ape paws on it to roast over the fire.


    Before long, the two ape paws became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Shimmering droplets of oil dripped from the paws onto the burning firewood, releasing a tantalizing white smoke and an irresistible aroma.


    Blaze Regret gently rotated the stick, and suddenly, he noticed a bite mark on one of the ape paws. After a moment of surprise, he looked at Red with disdain and asked, "Did you bite it?"


    In response, Red shook its head vigorously, putting on an innocent expression, though a droplet of saliva trailed from the corner of its mouth.


    "Doing it but not admitting it," Blaze Regret scoffed even more, not realizing that the bite mark was much smaller than Red''s.


    "I''ll talk, I''ll tell you everything, just get me down from here!"


    Silver Van''s desperate voice rang out, and Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow, thinking he was tougher than he seemed, only to find he wasn''t much after all.


    Behind a distant black tree, a little green beast bared its teeth and fanned its mouth, as tendrils of hot white smoke rose from its mouth.


    Holding a sturdy rope in his hand, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros dragged Silver Van over as if pulling a dead dog. After being knocked against a stone, Silver Van''s face turned pale, and a large amount of filth spewed violently from his mouth.


    "Do you have any decency at all?"


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret nearly dropped the ape paw he was holding, his appetite instantly ruined.


    "This is the map of the Black Nether Abyss," Silver Van gasped for a moment, pulling out a scroll from his clothes without even glancing at it, and hastily tossed it to Blaze Regret. He did not wish to endure the torment a second time.


    Rolling his eyes helplessly, Blaze Regret handed one of the ape paws to the rock horn dragon rhinoceros and passed the other directly to Red. Although he was usually quite nonchalant, it was difficult to savor delicacies under such circumstances.


    Red looked at the bite marks on the ape paw with disdain, while the rock horn dragon rhinoceros, after a moment of thought, gave his ape paw to Red and then picked up the heavy fire ape, placing the entire thing on the fire.


    "Wow!"


    Unfolding the scroll, a detailed map came into view. Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over it slowly, his brows gradually knitting together.


    "This map should be correct, but what are these large red markings?" Blaze Regret murmured softly, his voice tinged with confusion.


    Glancing at the deeply pondering Blaze Regret, Silver Van lowered his head, a sinister glint flashing quickly in his eyes.


    "Whoosh!"


    Raising his head again, Silver Van''s face was filled with a fierce determination. A sharp blood spike suddenly shot out from his mouth with a chilling whoosh, aimed violently at Blaze Regret.


    "Fool." Silver Van smirked mockingly as he saw Blaze Regret still engrossed in the map. Your journey continues with empire


    However, in the next moment, his smile froze on his face.


    Blaze Regret slightly tilted his head, and the blood scented spike narrowly missed his ear. Behind him, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros casually reached back with a hand and crushed the spike into dust.


    When his attack failed, panic filled Silver Van''s heart, and he involuntarily began retreating.


    "You''ve been naughty."


    Rolling the map back into a scroll, Blaze Regret''s face showed a gentle smile. Yet, to Silver Van, that smile looked as terrifying as a grinning demon.


    "This stuff must be the Gluttonous Powder, right?"


    Bending slightly, Blaze Regret rummaged through Silver Van''s clothes and found three small transparent bottles in his hand, each filled with deep red powder.

 Chapter 309 Mandible ants

    "To be honest, I never intended to let you go, but your actions just now have solidified my resolve to get rid of you." Blaze Regret chuckled, then opened one of the bottles and sprinkled all the deep red powder onto Silver Van."No!"


    Smelling the strange fragrance, Silver Van''s hair stood on end, his face full of terror. He knew all too well the horrific consequences of the Gluttonous Flower''s powder.


    "Let''s go." Blaze Regret stood up, waved a hand to the others, and leisurely headed toward the marked location on the map.


    Abandoning the fire ape, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros followed Blaze Regret with heavy steps. Red looked at the ape paw with bite marks, hesitated for a moment, and then tossed it high into the air.


    As Blaze Regret and the others departed, several small leaves began to spin in the clearing. A small emerald green creature joyfully emerged from between the leaves, grabbed the falling ape paw, and disappeared from the scene in a flash.


    With his face pressed against the ground, Silver Van stared blankly at this scene, his cries having stopped at some point. Just now, he seemed to have witnessed something extraordinary.


    "Hiss!" Continue your adventure at empire


    Suddenly, a rustling sound came from beneath the ground. The soil shifted, and a black ant quickly crawled out, extending two sharp fangs from its mouth.


    Following this ant, countless black figures emerged from the soil, their gazes on Silver Van filled with a greedy glint, as though they had discovered the most delicious food.


    "Mandible ants, it''s mandible ants!"


    Seeing the swarm of black ants rushing towards him, Silver Van curled up into a ball, trembling like a leaf, his shrill screams echoing through the sky. But soon, his voice abruptly stopped as the mass of mandible ants swarmed into his mouth.


    ...


    The dark mountain range loomed, layer upon layer, appearing like the undulating waves of the sea from the foothills below.


    Beyond this mountain range lay the blood red area recorded on Silver Van''s map.


    "The secret of the Blood Seal Gate is probably hidden behind this."


    Muttering to himself as he gazed at the mountain range, Blaze Regret twisted his hand, conjuring two spirit portals out of thin air, which absorbed the rock horn dragon rhinoceros and the Ice Control Irenix. After a slight whimper, Red quickly transformed into a beguiling state, becoming a miniature Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat perched on his shoulder.


    This mountain range was quite steep, and it took Blaze Regret a full hour to climb to the top.


    "If I had ridden on the Ice Control Irenix, I could have reached here in no time."


    Leaning against a large boulder, Blaze Regret panted lightly, though he understood that the Ice Control Irenix, being a spirit beast, would be an easy target in the sky, risking attacks from other spirit beasts and revealing their location.


    Turning to look below, Blaze Regret''s body suddenly froze.


    Beyond the mountain range lay a massive blood colored lake. The overwhelming scent of blood rose from it, tinting the backside of the mountain range with a faint red hue.


    Within the amber light, an enormous vine stretched across the lake, surrounded by buds that pulsed gently, resembling beating hearts.


    As Blaze Regret gazed at a bud on the verge of fully blooming, he felt a slight tremor in his heart. Inside the bud was unmistakably a Ghost Vine Flower of the seventh tier, low level Imperial Grade!


    "So, it''s the mother plant of the Ghost Vine Flower. No wonder the elders of the Blood Seal Gate possess so many bloodline spirit beasts," Blaze Regret realized, his eyes narrowing slightly.

    A blood red flash streaked through the air, revealing the form of a Blood Fiend hovering above. In its hand, it held a hefty black ape rhinoceros. With a twist of its cross shaped blade, torrents of fresh blood seeped from the black ape rhinoceros, flowing into the blood colored lake.


    "That''s too brutal."


    Blaze Regret exhaled a cool breath, calming his shaken emotions. Meanwhile, the emerald green creature perched beside him mimicked his gesture, nodding in agreement.


    In the ancient Abyss of Black Shadows, towering peaks pierced the sky. Amidst these peaks lay a massive blood red lake, strikingly conspicuous. Occasionally, roars of beasts echoed from it, but each roar ceased abruptly. Their blood had been entirely drained and poured into the lake, making the already spine chilling red even more intense and viscous.


    "The Blood Seal Gate''s ambition is indeed vast. These elders are likely not genuine bloodline spirit masters."


    Looking down from a high vantage point, Blaze Regret sneered inwardly. No wonder the Blood Seal Gate''s overall strength had improved so rapidly. With this blood lake at their disposal, even if they wanted to slow down, it would be impossible.


    Moreover, in pursuit of temporary power, these elders had unhesitatingly chosen to taint their spiritual portals. This act was utterly foolish, ensuring they''d never reach the level of a Spirit Lord in their lifetime.


    Spirit masters with tainted portals face resistance hundreds of times greater than ordinary spirit masters.


    "Crunch!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s thoughts were racing, a crisp chewing sound suddenly came from beside him, accompanied by a fresh herbal fragrance wafting through the air.


    Startled, Blaze Regret flipped to his left as if electrocuted, casting a surprised glance beside him.


    The small emerald green beast blinked its black eyes at Blaze Regret''s exaggerated reaction, but its munching didn''t pause for a moment.


    It was gnawing on the Spirit Gathering Fruits from Blaze Regret''s spatial stone. These fruits, which typically required refinement, were being bitten into like ordinary wild fruits by the little beast.


    "Hand them over!"


    Seeing the dozens of Spirit Gathering Fruits in front of the beast, Blaze Regret felt a pang of heartache. These fruits were hard earned and were not available for sale in the shops at Bloodstone Pass.

    However, just as his hand reached out, it froze in mid air. The small emerald green beast''s image continuously overlapped with a vague figure in his mind, resulting in an extraordinarily complex expression on his face."Chi~" sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The pitch black eyes stared unblinkingly at Blaze Regret, and the voice from the emerald green little beast was particularly drawn out, as if an innocent child were greeting a stranger.


    Blaze Regret''s heart trembled fiercely. By observing it up close, he finally recognized the little beast.


    It was the Ethereal Lotus, ranked twenty ninth in the Mystic Beast Record, a wood attribute mystic beast!


    Looking at the emerald green little beast, Blaze Regret''s heart was like a stormy sea.


    Read the latest on empire


    "Don''t move, don''t move."


    He whispered softly, as if coaxing a child, and slowly extended his excited hand. Several dazzling halos appeared between his fingers, and upon close inspection, one would discover that there were precisely four of them.


    Simultaneously, a brilliant magic array unfurled beneath the Ethereal Lotus, connecting to Blaze Regret''s fourth spiritual gate.


    The Ethereal Lotus blinked its large, watery eyes in confusion, its small face filled with bewilderment. In an instant, when it felt the suction force erupting from the magic array, a panicked scream burst from its mouth.


    "Chi!"


    Several tiny leaves flashed from the magic array, and the Ethereal Lotus''s form appeared in the distance. With each leap, it left behind a few verdant leaves, each leaf brimming with vigorous life force.


    "Come back!"


    Disregarding everything else, Blaze Regret called out in a low voice, his hand reaching out repeatedly. However, before he could fully outline the contract spirit array, the Ethereal Lotus had already escaped, leaving incomplete spirit arrays suspended around the mountaintop.


    "Who''s there? Get out here!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to deploy the contract spirit array again, Silver Lucas''s furious roar suddenly echoed. Immediately after, a sharp blood red light sliced through the air in a bizarre arc, slashing fiercely toward him.


    Hearing the sound of the air being sliced beside him, Blaze Regret''s heart tightened. He retreated continuously, as a gleaming cross shaped blade, trailing a long tail of light, effortlessly pierced through the mountain peak and whistled out the other side, only to be caught with a snap by the stern faced Blood Demon General.


    "Old fool, I''ll tear down your Blood Seal Gate!"


    Seeing the Ethereal Lotus disappear from the mountain peak, Blaze Regret''s face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing like fiery jets aimed directly at Silver Lucas.


    If it weren''t for the sudden interference of the Blood Demon General, he would have been just a step away from successfully forming a spirit pact with the Ethereal Lotus! The feeling of a "cooked duck flying away" nearly drove him insane.


    Moreover, that "duck" was coveted by the strongest across the continent!


    "Tear down my Blood Seal Gate? You sure have a big mouth," Silver Lucas sneered, his expression full of disdain.


    "Chi!"


    Just as Silver Lucas''s voice fell, a few emerald green leaves suddenly appeared beside him. The Ethereal Lotus hesitated for a moment and then swiftly snatched the spatial stone from his waist.


    "What is that thing?" Silver Lin and the others were taken aback. Such a beautiful spirit beast was something they had never seen before.


    What they didn''t know was that this wasn''t just any spirit beast but the one and only Ethereal Lotus on the entire continent!


    "This looks so familiar."


    Watching the green little beast play with the Void Realms stone, a hint of doubt crossed Silver Lucas''s eyes, followed by a sudden realization of astonishment: "This little beast looks like the Ethereal Lotus recorded in the Mystic Beast Record!"


    As a Spirit Lord, Silver Lucas was quite knowledgeable about such unique creatures, which is why his expression of excitement was even more exaggerated than Blaze Regret''s earlier.


    This was a mystic beast, the darling of the continent!


    Every mystic beast is not restrained by other attributes and can suppress all attributes. This extraordinary trait allows spirit masters who possess a mystic beast to effortlessly overpower opponents of the same rank.


    This attribute suppression becomes especially evident at the lord level. For instance, a second tier advanced imperial grade fire attribute spirit beast can almost instantly defeat a wood attribute spirit beast of the same rank! This highlights just how sought after mystic beasts are.


    "Spirit Contract, Form!"


    With intense fervor on his face, Silver Lucas spread his palm, and a contract spirit array about a meter wide appeared beneath the Ethereal Lotus, emitting an even more formidable suction force than Blaze Regret''s.


    Although his attribute is blood, mystic beasts are not subject to inter attribute limitations, so even if he successfully tames it, there''s no concern of tainting the spiritual portal.


    "Did you ask me before trying to form a spirit contract?"


    A young, cold voice echoed across the mountain peak. Suddenly, a light blue stream of light came whistling down rapidly, its broad, razor sharp ice wings slashing diagonally toward Silver Lucas''s head.


    Blaze Regret''s deep and angry shout echoed at the mountain peak. The Ice Control Irenix flapped its wings and darted forward like an arrow, appearing in front of Silver Lucas in a flash. With a sharp, gleaming ice wing, it slashed a fierce arc directly towards Silver Lucas''s face.


    As the Ice Control Irenix swooped down, the Blood Demon General swiftly followed. The cross shaped saber in his hand spun rapidly, transforming into a bloody light wheel that shot fiercely towards the Ice Control Irenix.


    Blood light flashed across its eyes, and the Ice Control Irenix lightly retreated. The sharp cross shaped blade skimmed past its front and plunged into the ground with a clang.


    "Swish!"


    Suspended in mid air, the Blood Demon General clenched his palm, and the cross shaped saber turned into a streak of blood light, bursting from the ground like lightning. Its sharp edge struck the Ice Control Irenix''s body, sending it flying tens of meters away.


    "Tier Three!"

 Chapter 311 Secret Reveal

    Gazing at the rotating cross shaped saber in the Blood Demon General''s hand, Blaze Regret''s expression became slightly stern. His eyes then swept across the blood colored lake. The massive blood colored vine slowly wriggled, and with each wriggle, the Ghost Vine Flower in the bud grew stronger than before.A flash of insight appeared in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and a bold guess suddenly emerged in his mind, which left him particularly shocked.


    If it were true, it would be too terrifying!


    "You guessed right. Any blood type spirit beast that stays in that bud for a while will automatically increase in strength. After today, my Blood Demon General should break through to Tier Five," Silver Lucas said with a sinister smile, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were already a dead man.


    Since Blaze Regret had discovered the Blood Seal Gate''s greatest secret, naturally, he couldn''t be allowed to live.


    "No wonder the Blood Seal Gate''s growth has been so terrifying. It''s all because of that blood colored vine."


    Blaze Regret swallowed secretly. Although the Black Abyss only opened for one day each year, after which the black mist in the sky would automatically descend, as long as that blood colored vine remained, within ten years, Silver Lucas could become a true King grade powerhouse!


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret felt a chill all over. If Silver Lucas continued to grow, then in ten years, not only would Blood Stone Pass, but all the surrounding towns would have to change their surname to Silver!


    A King Grade powerhouse was enough to dominate a region.


    "Screech!"


    Excitedly watching the collision of the two spirit beasts, Ethereal Lotus held Silver Lucas''s void realms stone as if it were a piece of fruit and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, crunching it with satisfaction written all over her adorable cheeks.


    Gazing at the ever shattering void realms stone, Silver Lucas''s face showed no anger. Instead, it was filled with intense desire and ambition. If he could form a spirit contract with this mysterious beast, a future position of power in the Sun Moon Empire would surely be his!

    Licking his lips, Silver Lucas opened his palm again, and as the dazzling contract spirit array began to appear, a fierce gust of wind suddenly whooshed down from above, striking his head heavily.


    "Boom!"


    Without a second thought, Silver Lucas swung his hand in defense. His palm clashed directly with the fist of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. In the next moment, his body was sent flying backward, crashing hard against a massive rock.


    Although Silver Lucas was a powerful spirit Lord master, his close combat abilities were not much stronger than Blaze Regret''s. Thus, after this blow, his face turned pale, and he spat out a warm mouthful of blood. Find adventures on empire


    Watching the sudden appearance of the giant creature in front of her, Ethereal Lotus blinked excitedly, stuffing the remaining pieces of the void realms stone into her mouth and leaning forward slightly with a gleeful expression on her face.


    With a fierce glint in his eyes, Silver Lucas was about to order the Blood Seal Gate elders to attack the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros when a cloud of deep red powder suddenly poured down onto him, covering his hair and clothes.


    The powder, emitting a strange fragrance, drifted before his eyes, and Silver Lucas''s expression changed dramatically. He was all too familiar with this powder, as he had previously handed it over to Silver Van.


    "Master Silver, how does it taste?" Standing with his right foot on a rock above, Blaze Regret looked down at Silver Lucas with a smile, shaking his wrist as an empty glass bottle drew an arc through the air and fell into the blood lake, splashing a few droplets of blood.


    "Where did you get that Gluttonous Powder?"


    Although he had some suspicions in his heart, Silver Lucas still clung to a sliver of hope as he shouted murderously at Blaze Regret.


    "Someone caused trouble on the way, so I dealt with it conveniently. As for the Gluttonous Powder, it''s a trophy," Blaze Regret replied, his smile undiminished.


    "I want you dead!"


    Upon hearing this, Silver Lucas''s eyes nearly burst from their sockets in fury, as he channeled his blood energy into his palm, striking fiercely at Blaze Regret, leaving a trail of arcing blood light in its wake.


    Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly and swiftly dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding Silver Lucas''s blow. After all, Silver Lucas was a lord grade powerhouse, and taking a hit from him would certainly not end well, even for Blaze Regret.


    "Everyone, attack! Get rid of that kid!" Silver Lin''s voice was sinister. Behind him, several Ghost Vine Flowers rose, their blood red tendrils waving and blocking the thin sunlight that trickled from the sky.


    "Master Silver, if you don''t find a place to deal with the Gluttonous Powder soon, you''ll end up being torn apart by spirit beasts," Blaze Regret said, moving swiftly, though his clothes had already started to show signs of damage.


    "Heh, I''ve had my people clear out all the powerful spirit beasts around this blood lake. This blood lake is what they became," Silver Lucas replied with a cold laugh. When he first entered the Black Abyss, the thick blood vines in the lake were nearly withered. It was only after he accidentally killed a few spirit beasts, splattering some blood, that he discovered the usefulness of the blood vines. Since then, the Blood Seal Gate had soared, overshadowing the once thriving Walker family in Blood Stone Pass.


    However, Silver Lucas''s ambitions extended far beyond Blood Stone Pass.


    "Quite ruthless, but today''s events might just disappoint you," Blaze Regret said, stepping half a step to the left as a sharp blood red vine slashed his sleeve, leaving a clear mark.


    "I''d like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve," Silver Lucas scoffed, sending Blaze Regret flying with a powerful slap.

 Chapter 312 Forest Wood Lodge King

    "Boom!"Before his words had even faded, a massive figure suddenly charged from the distance. The swinging trunk of a tree smashed a Ghost Vine Flower into pieces with a single blow.


    The figure was a towering green tree with a pair of cold eyes on its trunk. If not for this unusual feature, it could easily be mistaken for an ordinary tree.


    "Damn, it''s the Forest Wood Lodge King!" Silver Lucas''s eyes widened in shock. This wood type spirit beast possessed the power of a mid tier, seventh rank lord!


    The eyes of the Forest Wood Lodge King turned slightly, locking onto Silver Lucas. The rich fragrance made its entire body tremble uncontrollably.


    The powder from the Gluttonous Flower had a deadly allure for it.


    "Bang!"


    Smashing another Ghost Vine Flower, the Forest Wood Lodge King moved its massive roots, shaking the ground with each step as it charged toward Silver Lucas. Silver Lin, unable to dodge in time, was crushed into a pulp.


    "Well done," Blaze Regret said, hugging the returning Red with a smile.


    From the moment Silver Lucas discovered him, Blaze Regret had begun a series of strategic moves. If Master Magi were awake, he would be surprised to find that the once troubled boy who sought his help had matured into someone with meticulous plans.


    "You little brat, I won''t let you get away with this!"


    Silver Lucas cast a resentful glance at Ethereal Lotus, then, with a heart full of pain, turned and fled in the opposite direction. The Blood Demon General, having knocked the Ice Control Irenix aside, followed closely behind with its cross shaped saber.


    "Bang!"


    The Forest Wood Lodge King passed by, not even sparing a glance at Blaze Regret, and followed them like a gust of wind. Its bulky body managed to move with such astonishing speed that Blaze Regret couldn''t help but marvel.


    Several elders from the Blood Seal Gate, eyes filled with fear and hatred, glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. They grabbed the dumbfounded Silver Lucas and fled the scene. Faced with Blaze Regret, who possessed a lord grade Ice Control Irenix, they had no courage to fight.


    "Now, it''s just the two of us."


    Blaze Regret''s lips curved into a broad smile, while Ethereal Lotus remained leaning forward, watching the Forest Wood Lodge King''s retreating figure with unblinking eyes, completely unaware of the impending danger.


    Puffing out her adorable cheeks, the Ethereal Lotus chewed slightly, her gem like eyes eagerly fixed on the distance, her body leaning forward as if almost touching the ground.


    Blaze Regret raised his hand, just about to summon the Contract Spirit Array, when the Ethereal Lotus suddenly turned her gaze toward him, blinking slightly, causing his hand to freeze in mid air.


    "Chi~"


    A gentle sound emerged from the Ethereal Lotus''s mouth, dragging out the syllable. Her innocent look directed at Blaze Regret was as if she were looking at an idiot.


    However, even with such a demeanor, combined with her cute face, it was hard to find her annoying.


    With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret suddenly felt a sense of humiliation. The intelligence of the Ethereal Lotus was higher than he had imagined; it seemed that no matter how adorable a mystical beast appeared, they were not to be underestimated.


    With a delicate wave of her hand, the Ethereal Lotus suddenly vanished from her spot, leaving behind a few tiny leaves dancing in the air. In an instant, her figure appeared farther away.


    A sudden jolt ran through his heart, and Blaze Regret focused all his attention, his gaze tightly following the shadow of the Ethereal Lotus. The brilliant Contract Spirit Array spread rapidly beneath her.


    "Chi!" Find more chapters on empire


    As if she had suddenly found amusement, the Ethereal Lotus''s figure flickered around Blaze Regret, each time leaving behind only a few emerald leaves above the Contract Spirit Array, along with her playful laughter.


    "Wow!"


    A flash of anger crossed his eyes. The blazing Red shot out, and the three streams of light swirling around him increased his speed even more. He then swung his claws fiercely at the Ethereal Lotus.


    He knew he couldn''t focus on forming the spirit contract until he brought her down. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a slight curl of her lips, the Ethereal Lotus looked at the rushing Red, and with a gentle wave of her small hand, petals filled the sky, falling like fragrant rain, appearing exceptionally beautiful.


    In her eyes, petals swirled down, and the rushing figure of the Red quickly halted. It then swiftly turned around, a vibrant petal brushing against its tail, and with a crisp sound, it sliced downwards. The soft petal, sharp as a steel blade, was driven diagonally into the ground.


    Watching the Red''s awkward state, excitement gleamed in the Ethereal Lotus''s eyes. She then darted into the distance, leaving trails of afterimages in her wake.


    As the only Ethereal Lotus in the entire continent, she had encountered countless spirit masters over the years who wished to form a spirit contract with her, including a powerful Spirit King. However, they all met the same fate, failure without exception.


    To her, Blaze Regret was just another one among them.


    As the figure of the Ethereal Lotus gradually disappeared from view, a deep anxiety appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. Without thinking twice, he jumped onto the back of the Ice Control Irenix and chased after her like a whirlwind.


    He had invested so much effort to obtain this mystical beast, and if he were to fail at this critical moment, he could only imagine the blow it would deal to him.


    Even that Spirit King, after witnessing the Ethereal Lotus slip away, had furiously devastated an area of ten thousand meter. It was known that he usually had a rather gentle temperament.


    "Whoosh!"


    Like a casual stroll, the Ethereal Lotus flickered and dashed several hundred meter away. Behind her, the fragmented Contract Spirit Array almost formed a straight line, flickering with faint light.

 Chapter 313 Clue

    Glancing back at the sky, the Ethereal Lotus wore a relaxed expression. However, she was still cradling a light red fruit in her hands, which was evidently something she had swiped from Blaze Regret''s Void realms Stone.After popping a few Recovery Pills into his mouth, Blaze Regret''s chest rose and fell erratically, his heavy breathing faintly audible.


    The spirit power consumed by deploying the Contract Spirit Array was no less than continuously activating the Crumbling Rock Palm. This level of consumption was extremely taxing even for Silver Lucas, let alone for him, a seventh tier spirit Imperial master.


    "Why has she stopped?"


    Sitting on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret looked down in disbelief. The Ethereal Lotus, cradling the fragrant spirit fruit, had her large, dark eyes slightly closed. Around her, a light green spirit array spread out, and as the leaf shaped spirit light soared, her figure gradually became transparent.


    Is it about to disappear?


    As this possibility crossed his mind, the flame that had just ignited in Blaze Regret''s heart was instantly extinguished, and a hint of self mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    If even a Spirit King couldn''t successfully form a spirit contract with such a mystical beast, what right did a mere seventh tier spirit Imperial master like him have to feel more confident?


    After all, this was the one and only Ethereal Lotus on the continent.


    "No, that''s not right. Since Master Magi didn''t provide any instructions, the solution must lie within me."


    Even in the depths of despair, thoughts in Blaze Regret''s mind continued to whirl rapidly. Suddenly, his body jolted with realization.


    Scenes from when he had fallen into the Black Water River flashed before his eyes in a frenzy, finally freezing on the moment in the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb.


    "This thing could be of great use."


    Master Magi''s voice echoed faintly in his mind, traveling through time, with the source of that voice coming from the room where Blaze Regret had defeated the Fire Stone Ball!


    "Could it be¡­"


    A glimmer of light crossed his eyes, and Blaze Regret hurriedly opened the Void realms Stone. A long vine, emanating a tender green glow, appeared in his palm.


    This item was the Recovery Spirit Vine!


    "Chi?"


    With a slight twitch of her nose, the Ethereal Lotus tilted her little head, casting a puzzled glance into the air. Then, an unmistakable fear emerged on her adorable face, as if she had encountered a lifelong enemy.


    Seeing the startled Ethereal Lotus, Blaze Regret felt a surge of joy in his heart. He directed all his spirit power into his palm, infusing it into the Recovery Spirit Vine. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!"


    A tender green light erupted forth. The Recovery Spirit Vine trembled slightly before suddenly darting out of Blaze Regret''s hand, splitting into countless tendrils in mid air. Each one rapidly extended in length, transforming in the blink of an eye into dozens of meter, filling the air as they descended towards the Ethereal Lotus below.


    "Crack!"


    The soft Recovery Spirit Vines fell like sharp spears, striking the ground around the Ethereal Lotus at lightning speed. They then plunged directly into the earth, intertwining with the soil beneath her feet, and the vines above did the same.


    In an instant, the dozen or so Recovery Spirit Vines seemed to form a solid vine cage. The Ethereal Lotus, trapped within the cage, crashed against the walls in a frenzy, unable to find any way to break free. Her strange teleportation ability also lost its effectiveness inside.


    Stomping her feet in anger, the Ethereal Lotus looked like a sulking child throwing a tantrum.


    "Little one, after stealing so many spirit herbs from me, it''s time to settle the score."


    Jumping down from the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret looked at the pouting Ethereal Lotus, and his joyful feelings surged like a flood breaking through a dam, impossible to contain.


    This mystical beast will be mine from now on!

    "Damn it, if I advance to a seventh level spirit Lord master, the first thing I''ll do is kill you!"


    Standing at the entrance of the Black Nether Abyss, Silver Lucas gritted his teeth as he glared at the Forest Wood Lodge King below. His sinister gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear the latter to pieces.


    Meanwhile, Forest Wood Lodge King remained steadfast below, its large eyes filled with intense greed. The scent of greed emanating from Silver Lucas could be clearly detected, even through the layer of black mist.


    "Master, what should we do now?"


    One of the elders behind Silver Lucas sighed with a bitter smile. Unexpectedly, their venture into the Black Nether Abyss not only failed to enhance their strength but also cost the life of Grand Elder Silver Lin. As for Silver Van, he wasn''t of much significance.


    However, aside from Silver Lucas...


    "That little brat dared to kill my son. I will make him understand that the Blood Seal Gate is not something he can provoke." Silver Lucas turned around fiercely, while the elders behind him exchanged glances.


    "Fortunately, Master Silver managed to eliminate all the Frostwing Bat Kings. In the future, there shouldn''t be any more large scale bat tides."


    Around the outer walls of Bloodstone Pass, a fourth level spirit master picked up items from the ground. After a moment, he stood up with a smile, his bag containing ice spirit cores worth at least ten thousand gold coins.


    "That''s uncertain. Everyone knows how strange the Black Nether Abyss is; who knows what new monsters might emerge in the future." Another spirit master lamented, shaking his head. Having spent considerable time around Bloodstone Pass, he''d heard more than a few eerie rumors about the Black Nether Abyss.


    "Only the people from the Blood Seal Gate dare to enter. Anyone else who goes in dies."


    "Is that so? I heard that the reason the Blood Seal Gate''s master and elders advance so rapidly is related to that abyss."

 Chapter 314 Personal Favor

    "Shh, hush now, don''t let the Blood Seal Gate hear you, or you might find your neck snapped."The noisy chatter echoed below the high walls. After each bat tide, the powerful defenders who protected the town would conduct a thorough cleanup, earning a fortune from the Frostwing Bat''s spirit cores.


    Leaning against a massive boulder, Walker Adam glanced at the dent on the high wall. A flash of heat flickered in his eyes. The dent was caused by a punch from a Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and within it lay the battered remains of a Bone Armor Rhino.


    "I''m still too weak," he murmured softly. No one knew that at this moment, a peculiar vertical eye was embedded in the center of Walker Adam''s forehead, displaying a dual hue of red and purple.

    If someone were to attack him suddenly, they would discover that Walker Adam, who was once merely a ninth level spirit warrior master, had astonishingly advanced to become a genuine fifth level spirit Imperial master! This rapid progression could only be described as terrifying.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Walker Adam''s heart stirred, and his gaze drifted into the distance. There, several figures clad in blood red robes were approaching with somber expressions.


    "This doesn''t look right. It seems Brother Blaze must have acted against them," he muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear. Walker Adam stood up and headed straight into Bloodstone Pass. The crowd, caught up in their excitement, failed to notice a young man with his face hidden beneath his robes vanishing from the scene.


    "Where is that old guy Walker Sin?!"


    A third level spirit Imperial master, busy collecting spirit cores, felt a heavy hand clap on his shoulder. He turned around, ready to curse, but the shadowy face before him made him swallow his words.


    "Master Silver... the Walker family left Bloodstone Pass with their entire clan after you entered the Black Nether Abyss. No one knows where they went," the spirit Imperial master stammered, his voice trembling slightly with fear.


    "Hmph!"


    With a forceful press of his hand, the spirit Imperial master collapsed to the ground. Silver Lucas''s face was so dark it seemed he could wring water from it. Several elders of the Blood Seal Gate stood behind him, heads lowered, not daring to utter a sound.


    "I just don''t believe it, that kid couldn''t have just appeared out of nowhere!"


    Silver Lucas declared fiercely, "Send out the message: anyone who can provide accurate information about that kid will receive a bounty of two hundred thousand gold coins, and I, Silver Lucas, will owe them a favor!"


    Upon hearing this, several elders'' expressions changed sharply. It wasn''t the terrifying bounty amount that shocked them, but rather that Silver Lucas was willing to offer a personal favor in exchange for information about Blaze Regret!


    It''s well known that the favor of a spirit Lord master is enough to allow anyone to roam Bloodstone Pass with impunity.


    It seems Silver Lucas is truly intent on killing.


    "Understood."


    One of the elders nodded slightly, then gestured for a member of the Blood Seal Gate to come over and whispered instructions with a serious expression.


    In less than half an hour, the tempting bounty had spread throughout the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass.


    Everyone knew that the master of the Blood Seal Gate, a powerful spirit Lord master, was offering a personal favor in exchange for information about a dual source spirit Imperial master!


    "If I reveal it, that Blaze clan member will probably meet a terrible end."


    In a tavern, a spirit master who had come from the outskirts of Bloodstone Pass had a gleam in his eye. "But whether he lives or dies, what does it matter to me? As long as I can gain Silver Lucas''s protection, who in Bloodstone Pass wouldn''t fear me, Steel Hon, to some extent?" Continue reading at empire


    Having come to this realization, Steel Hon suddenly stood up, slapped several dozen gold coins onto the table with a loud smack, and walked out of the tavern with an air of satisfaction.


    "Finally, my time has come!"


    Gazing at the middle aged man dressed in blood red robes, Steel Hon excitedly licked his lips, lifted his foot, and quickly walked over.


    "You say you know that kid?"


    A chilling glint flickered in Silver Lucas''s eyes as he narrowed them at Steel Hon, a bloodthirsty intent rapidly spreading within their depths.


    "That''s right. The kid''s name is Blaze Regret, the son of Blaze Ash, the head of the Blaze Family," Steel Hon said hurriedly, shivering as he sensed the murderous aura emanating from Silver Lucas.


    "Very good." Silver Lucas waved his hand, and a blood red gold coin card dropped to the ground in front of Steel Hon.


    Steel Hon''s eyes lit up with joy as he bent down to pick it up, but a foot suddenly stepped on it, leaving only half of the card visible.


    "Your information isn''t enough to earn my bounty," Silver Lucas said slowly.


    After hesitating for a moment, Steel Hon''s eyes suddenly brightened. He looked up at Silver Lucas in an awkward posture, trying to please him.


    "There''s a member of the Blaze Family inside the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass, someone named Blaze Wahab, I believe," Steel Hon said with a sycophantic smile.


    "Is that so?"


    Silver Lucas''s foot slightly lifted, and a sinister, cold smile spread across his lips.


    The Blaze Family seems to have their own spirit Lord master as well, but since your family killed my son, taking the life of one of your clan members shouldn''t be a problem.


    "Plop!"


    The vine cage formed by the Recovery Spirit Vines fell weakly. Blaze Regret looked at the center of the contract spirit formation ahead, where the air spirit creature, Ethereal Lotus, glared back at him, visibly upset, causing him a headache.


    "Don''t look at me like that; it''s not my fault you fell into my hands."

 Chapter 315 Conclusion

    Innocently shrugging his shoulders, Blaze Regret extended his palm, and four dazzling halos swirled out. His gaze suddenly turned sharp: "Spirit Contract, conclude!""Whoosh!"


    The mysterious contract spirit formation instantly blossomed again, intertwining with the previous one, appearing extraordinarily exquisite. Centered around Ethereal Lotus, it spun rapidly.


    Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, forming a spirit contract with a mysterious beast requires the simultaneous descent of two contract spirit formations!


    "Ah!"


    Showing a hint of fear in its eyes, Ethereal Lotus struggled frantically, shooting sharp leaves towards Blaze Regret.


    However, before those leaves could escape the range of the contract spirit formation, they were shredded into emerald green light dots, floating above Ethereal Lotus, looking quite beautiful.


    "Collect!"


    With a sudden grip of his palm, Blaze Regret solemnly watched ahead as the dazzling contract spirit formation gradually shrank, and Ethereal Lotus''s struggling movements slowly ceased.


    Its gem like eyes closed gently, standing quietly there. The mysterious contract spirit formation transformed into a tiny dot, imprinting itself on its forehead.


    With a slight flicker, the miniature contract spirit formation became hidden, creating a subtle connection between it and Blaze Regret


    Bright, sparkling eyes slowly opened as Ethereal Lotus stared blankly at Blaze Regret. The defiance in its eyes had vanished, but the slight pout of its lips still showed its sense of grievance.


    "Chi!"


    Sitting on the ground, Red curiously stared at Ethereal Lotus, its wagging tail causing the latter''s eyes to dart back and forth.


    With a gentle chuckle, Blaze Regret took out a few third tier spirit fruits from the Void Realm Stone and handed them to Ethereal Lotus. Its spirits lifted as it quickly hugged them to its chest, immediately picking one up and munching on it.


    A voracious appetite was a characteristic trait of Ethereal Lotus.


    Watching Ethereal Lotus''s petite figure, the joy in Blaze Regret''s heart coalesced into an uncontrollable emotion. After a moment, laughter that had been stifled for a long time bubbled up from his throat.


    "I, Blaze Regret, finally own a mysterious beast!"


    His excited laughter echoed in the Black Abyss for a long time before gradually subsiding.


    With a broad smile still on his face, Blaze Regret looked towards the Void Realm Stone. If Master Magi were to wake up and see the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and Ethereal Lotus, his expression would surely be quite remarkable.


    "Come to think of it, the Spirit Battle Tournament in Velorian City is also about to start."


    Blaze Regret glanced in the direction of Velorian City, a wave of nostalgia rising in his heart. Then his gaze gradually returned to the mountain peak: "However, the trouble here must be resolved first."


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous explosion resounded in the Black Abyss as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist crashed heavily onto the mountain peak. In an instant, cracks spread rapidly from the summit, swiftly covering the entire mountain.


    With a stomp of its foot, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros landed on the ground, a shockwave filled with violent energy following the punch, causing the already precarious mountain to instantly crumble


    "That blood red vine should be dead by now."


    Looking at the blood lake filled with rubble, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he discovered the secret of the Blood Seal Gate in advance; otherwise, even the strongest in Velorian City wouldn''t have been able to stop Sliver Lucas''s Blood Demon General in a few decades.


    At the top of the cliff, long vines of various shapes interwove into green nets.


    The thick layer of fallen leaves on the green nets brought a rare vitality to the edge of the Black Abyss.


    Clearly, only this area was free from the contamination of the eerie Black Abyss aura.


    "The air outside is so refreshing."


    Stay updated via empire


    Standing at the cliff''s edge, Blaze Regret stretched his arms and took a satisfying breath of the cool air. In the Black Abyss, not only was his spiritual power constantly being drained, but even the air felt oppressively heavy, far less pleasant than the freedom outside.


    "Ding!"


    The communication shell in the Void Realm Stone flashed brightly. Blaze Regret looked down in puzzlement and picked it up. Moments later, a furious murderous intent surged in his eyes.


    ...


    The Blood Seal Gate was located on the southern side of the inner wall of Bloodstone Pass.


    This area was almost the least popular within a hundred mile radius because any spirit master who approached here without reason would be ruthlessly attacked by members of the Blood Seal Gate.


    However, today, a large crowd had gathered around the Blood Seal Gate to witness the spectacle. These onlookers formed a massive circle, and besides the disciples of the Blood Seal Gate in their blood red robes, the rest were quite reputable within Bloodstone Pass.

    At this moment, all eyes were focused on the center of the crowd, where Sliver Lucas, with a cold and stern gaze, was slightly raising his foot. Underneath his foot was the face of a young man.


    "Your name is Blaze Adam?" Sliver Lucas looked calmly at the young man beneath him, applying a bit more pressure with his foot.


    "What does my name have to do with you?" Blaze Adam smirked, not showing any sign of pain despite the pressure on his face.


    A deep scar at the corner of his eye gave him an aura of ferocity. This scar was a memento from a battle with a first tier spirit Lord master, a fight that nearly cost him his life. He had faced many such dangerous situations over the years.


    "Wanting revenge? Bring it on; I can handle it all," Blaze Adam snorted. When the Blood Seal Gate came looking for him, he initially thought it was an old enemy seeking help for revenge.


    "Revenge is indeed necessary."


    A cold glint flickered in Sliver Lucas''s eyes. "There''s a scoundrel named Blaze Regret who killed my son. I assume you know him?"


    "Blaze Regret?"

    Blaze Adam was momentarily stunned, and disbelief filled his eyes. It was a name he hadn''t heard in at least two years, and the sudden flood of memories left him slightly dazed."Haha, well done! The mighty sect leader of the Blood Seal Gate couldn''t even protect his own offspring. How satisfying!" Blaze Adam laughed heartily, completely unaware of how dark Sliver Lucas''s expression had become.

    Sliver Lucas''s eyes glinted coldly as he lifted his foot, ready to stomp down with force.


    A full force strike from a Spirit Lord Master could easily crush the head of a ninth tier spirit Imperial master!


    "As long as he''s dead, no one will know it was me."


    Hiding in the middle of the crowd, Steel Hon grinned with a rather smug expression. He hadn''t expected that sacrificing the insignificant Blaze Adam could secure such a bright future for him at Bloodstone Pass, truly a profitable exchange.


    As they watched Sliver Lucas''s foot lift, everyone held their breath, as if they could already envision the gruesome scene about to unfold.


    "You think that''s satisfying, huh? Let me give you something even more satisfying." Sliver Lucas''s eyes turned icy as he stomped down with a swish, the immense force causing the air below to emit a sharp whistling sound.


    However, just as Sliver Lucas''s foot was about to make contact with Blaze Adam''s face, a voice filled with furious anger, amplified by spiritual power, boomed out.


    "Sliver Lucas, you old dog! If you dare harm a single hair on Blaze Adam, I''ll make sure your entire Blood Seal Gate pays the price!"


    "Silver Lucas, you old dog, if you dare to harm even a hair on Blaze Adam, I will make your entire Blood Seal Sect pay with their lives!"


    A voice filled with rage echoed from afar, resonating thunderously under the cloak of spiritual power. Everyone was taken aback, especially the elders of the Blood Seal Gate, who looked up abruptly with fierce expressions.


    A pale blue streak of light tore through the sky, darting towards them like lightning, leaving a path of ice in its wake.


    Upon hearing this voice, Blaze Adam, who had closed his eyes and awaited death, couldn''t help but tremble. He suddenly opened his eyes, incredulously looking at Ice control Irenix swooping down.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Seeing the young man standing on Ice control Irenix, Blaze Adam felt an indescribable emotion. Although he wasn''t related to Blaze Regret by blood, he had always considered him as a younger brother. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have offered all his belongings without hesitation on the mountainside that day.


    However, watching Blaze Regret leap off Ice control Irenix, his anxiety overshadowed his excitement. After all, Silver Lucas was a formidable spirit Lord leader, and Blaze Regret coming here seemed like a death wish!


    When he first saw the Blood Seal Gate disciples, he used a sound transmitting conch to inform Blaze Wahab, hoping for family assistance. Yet, he never expected Blaze Regret to be the first to arrive.


    "You actually came out," Silver Lucas sneered, his blood soaked foot hovering just inches from Blaze Adam''s face.


    Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted slightly downward, looking at Blaze Adam''s trembling lips. The fury in his eyes gradually dissipated, but soon after, veins bulged on the back of his hand.


    "I swear, I will grind that leg of yours into dust," Blaze Regret vowed, looking directly at Silver Lucas, his dark eyes suddenly sharp and icy.


    "Heh, meaningless threats," Silver Lucas chuckled, lowering his foot to the ground, refraining from his previous actions. In his mind, Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam were already dead; it was merely a matter of time.


    "Damn it, how did he manage to escape the Black Abyss!"


    In the crowd, Steel Hon gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a hint of fear. He had dared to inform Silver Lucas because he believed Blaze Regret had perished in the Black Abyss. But Blaze Regret''s reappearance cast an indelible shadow in his heart.


    However, both possessed spirit beasts of the second tier higher lord level. Perhaps Silver Lucas could kill him, Steel Hon consoled himself, unaware that both Silver Lucas and Blaze Regret had undergone drastic changes since emerging from the Black Abyss.


    "Release Blaze Adam, and our grudges will be settled," Blaze Regret said coldly, narrowing his eyes.


    "Settled?" Silver Lucas was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter. Did this kid not understand the situation? He was not only a third tier spirit Lord master but also had Blaze Adam as a hostage. Where did Blaze Regret get the audacity to make such a demand?


    "Settled, it''s possible."


    Silver Lucas looked at Blaze Regret, still wearing a mocking smile. "But first, you must kneel and kowtow a hundred times, and you must never set foot in Bloodstone Pass again."


    As soon as these words fell, the onlookers were abuzz. Kneeling and kowtowing were great insults. Would Blaze Regret, who possessed a second tier high lord grade Ice control Irenix, agree to such conditions?


    "Kowtowing isn''t enough; you must also sever an arm!" shouted Silver Ray, standing beside the Blood Seal Gate elder. Blaze Adam, lying on the ground, was filled with rage and silently vowed that if he ever became strong enough, he would annihilate the entire Blood Seal Gate.


    Having spent so much time surviving outside, Blaze Adam''s ruthlessness matched that of Silver Lucas and the others.


    "Master Silver, do you really have to push it this far?" Blaze Regret''s voice suddenly calmed, but anyone familiar with him would know this was a sign of his utmost anger.


    "Not one less," Silver Lucas said with a sly smile, raising his foot again toward Blaze Adam''s face.


    "Is that so?" Blaze Regret lowered his head, a mocking smile on his lips, and slowly bent his knees.


    Seeing this, the onlookers sighed, while sinister smiles appeared on the faces of Silver Lucas and Silver Ray.

 Chapter 317 Kneel down

    In the territory of the Blood Seal Gate, even a tiger must lie low, and a dragon must coil.Blaze Regret''s knees bent slightly, but a glint flashed in his eyes. Only he knew that this was not the act of kneeling but the starting move to unleash his Fire Flame Step to its fullest!


    "Boom!"


    The air beneath him erupted with heat as Blaze Regret''s figure shot forward like an arrow from a bow, heading straight for Silver Lucas. His clenched fist, carrying a fierce gust, aimed directly at Silver Lucas''s head.


    The silver white fist quickly enlarged in Silver Lucas''s eyes, and he instinctively raised his arms to block it. He had heard more than once about how terrifying this young man''s punches could be.


    Suddenly, the oncoming force vanished, and Silver Lucas looked up in confusion. To his horror, he saw that the previously clamorous Silver Ray had been seized by Blaze Regret.


    The elders of the Blood Seal Gate looked on in disbelief. The speed of a seventh tier spirit Imperial master was so fast that even they couldn''t stop it, leaving them with a surreal feeling.


    "Kneel and sever an arm?"


    Blaze Regret lifted Silver Ray by his robe, his sharp and cold gaze causing Silver Ray, who was struggling frantically, to shiver involuntarily.


    "What incredible speed!"


    As everyone marveled at Blaze Regret''s speed, the scene before them made their faces twitch. Blaze Regret raised his foot and unhesitatingly kicked Silver Ray''s left leg.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones breaking echoed clearly. Silver Lucas, furious, saw Silver Ray''s rapidly twisting left leg go limp under Blaze Regret''s brutal kick.


    A shrill scream erupted from Silver Ray''s mouth, the loud sound causing Blaze Regret''s ears to ring slightly. He frowned and then lifted his foot again, mercilessly breaking Silver Ray''s other leg.


    "Stop it!"


    Seeing this, Silver Lucas hurriedly reached out, attempting to grab Blaze Adam from the ground to use as leverage against Blaze Regret. However, several emerald green vines suddenly burst from the ground, wrapping around Blaze Adam and pulling him into the earth.


    "Swish!"


    In the next moment, the soil beside Blaze Regret shifted, and the petite figure of Ethereal Lotus emerged with a pop, landing steadily on the ground.

    "Ethereal Lotus!"


    While everyone was puzzled about what kind of spirit beast this was, Silver Lucas''s terrified shout cut through the silence of the scene, even momentarily overshadowing Silver Lucas''s cries of agony.


    When Silver Lucas''s horrified shout suddenly echoed in their ears, everyone except the elders of the Blood Seal Gate felt slightly dizzy. They had never seen Silver Lucas, a powerful spirit Lord master, in such a state of distress.


    "You actually formed a spiritual contract with the Ethereal Lotus?" Silver Lucas felt as if he had been struck by lightning, staring blankly at the petite figure of the Ethereal Lotus. He could not believe that a mere seventh level spirit Imperial master could successfully form a contract with it!


    Even he had no confidence in achieving such a feat!


    "So what if I did?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly. Beside him, the Ethereal Lotus gently waved its small hand, and Blaze Adam, who was entangled in vines in mid air, slowly descended to the ground.


    "Give me this mystical beast, and I can overlook the past grievances," Silver Lucas said, greedily eyeing the Ethereal Lotus, completely forgetting that Silver Ray, with his legs severely injured, was still in Blaze Regret''s grasp.


    "I order you, let me go immediately!" Silver Ray yelled, his face twisted and his voice hoarse.


    "Let go? Alright." Blaze Regret chuckled, flicking his wrist. Silver Ray''s body was instantly thrown into the air. At the same time, a sharp, icy blade flashed through the air.


    "Slash!"


    The sharp ice blade pierced through Silver Ray''s chest, protruding halfway out of his back. Blood slowly spread over the exposed icy tip.


    "I want you dead!" Silver Lucas snapped back to reality, leaping up to catch Silver Ray in his arms. When he felt the faint breath from the latter''s nostrils, his razor sharp gaze was fixed fiercely on Blaze Regret.


    "Whoosh!"


    In mid air, the Blood Demon General waved its hand, and a cross shaped blade spun rapidly, transforming into a blood vortex that slashed downward. A thick, overpowering scent of blood filled the air. Enjoy more content from empire


    "Third Level!"


    Feeling the aura unleashed by the Blood Demon General, a wave of shock echoed around. Silver Lucas, who had only recently broken through to the second level of spirit Lord grade, had astonishingly advanced another level!


    "I''ll leave this battle to you," Blaze Regret said, smiling slightly as he stepped back a few paces with Red. He was eager to witness the legendary power of the Ethereal Lotus.


    "Chi!"


    In the black gem like eyes of the Ethereal Lotus, a trace of disdain flickered. She stepped forward, gracefully twirling her small hand toward the sky where the cross shaped blade was hurtling down. A shower of pink petals descended, filling the air with a rich fragrance.


    These seemingly delicate petals, upon contact with the sharp cross blade, produced a sound like metal clashing, even sparking a few embers. To everyone''s astonishment, they witnessed the cross blade begin to waver under the relentless impact of the petals.


    Seeing this, the Blood Demon General felt a chill in its heart. It unleashed a powerful suction from its palm, causing the cross blade to spin violently and the pink petals to fall to the ground, embedding themselves everywhere.


    As the cross blade lifted slightly, just as the Blood Demon General was about to execute a spiritual technique, its gaze froze. The once impervious blade now bore several distinct scratches!


    These scratches were caused in an instant by the vibrant petals.


    "Chi!"

 Chapter 318 Spare You

    With her palm facing the ground, the Ethereal Lotus coldly stared at the Blood Demon General in mid air. A few emerald green vines shot out from her palm with a swish, striking the ground.Using this force, the Ethereal Lotus propelled herself upward, appearing before the Blood Demon General in a flash. Her delicate hand struck out mercilessly.


    "Smack!"


    The Ethereal Lotus moved so swiftly that even the Blood Demon General could only reflexively raise the cross blade. Her small hand landed squarely on the blade.


    "Blood Demon General, Blood Drinking Assault!" Silver Lucas shouted urgently.


    With a fierce glint in its eyes, the Blood Demon General channeled all its spiritual energy into the cross blade. A swarm of blood snakes erupted forth, accompanied by a terrifying hissing sound.


    "Whoosh!"


    The vines retracted into her palm, and the Ethereal Lotus landed gracefully on the ground. A small ripple of dust spread around her.


    Meanwhile, the Blood Demon General remained suspended in mid air, casually shaking the cross blade, showing no signs of injury.


    "Is this a mystical beast?" Silver Lucas felt a bit puzzled. He had expected that the Ethereal Lotus''s thunderous strike would at least severely injure the Blood Demon General, but it seemed unimpressive.


    The Ethereal Lotus''s large, dark eyes blinked gently as she straightened up, slowly raising her small hand. A faint emerald green spiritual energy gathered in her palm.


    Just as the Blood Demon General was about to charge down and slice the Ethereal Lotus in half with its sharp cross blade, its body suddenly froze in place.


    "Poof!"


    With a light squeeze of the Ethereal Lotus''s hand, a tender green bud suddenly sprouted from the Blood Demon General''s chest, radiating vibrant life.


    "What is happening!"


    All the onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment. Such a peculiar spiritual technique was something they had never witnessed before. However, the delicate bud seemed unlikely to inflict any substantial harm on the Blood Demon General.


    Seeing the bud on the Blood Demon General''s chest, Silver Lucas felt a shiver run through him, an ominous premonition rising within him, impossible to shake off.


    "Now it''s time for a little magic trick," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.


    "Hmph!" sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a cute little hum, the Ethereal Lotus''s tightly clenched hand suddenly opened wide, and a look of deep fear surged on the Blood Demon General''s face.


    The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some force, rushing madly into the tender green bud. A brilliant luster flowed across the bud''s surface.


    The next moment, under many astonished gazes, the bud rapidly bloomed, transforming instantly into a crystalline blue flower. The flower, about ten feet wide, was magnificent and profound, quickly enveloping the Blood Demon General''s body.


    This dazzling transformation captivated everyone''s attention.


    "Detonate," Blaze Regret''s calm voice emerged as he watched the Ethereal Lotus''s changing hand movements.


    "Boom!"


    The moment Blaze Regret''s voice fell, the strange crystalline blue flower exploded with a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass.


    The sound was colossal, yet it carried no shockwave. Everyone clutched their ears in pain, and after a moment, when they managed to lift their heads, their gazes instantly turned to one of amazement.


    The energy from the flower''s explosion formed a massive crystalline blue flower pattern in the air where the Blood Demon General once stood. It hovered, seemingly tangible, profound, and beautiful.


    The thunderous sound gradually faded, and in the sky, the figure of the Blood Demon General had long disappeared without a trace. Only a gigantic crystal blue flower bloomed there, magnificent and enchanting.


    "Swish!"


    In an instant, the battered cross blade fell from the sky, embedding itself directly into the soil at Silver Lucas''s feet. The blade, once gleaming with a cold light, was now covered in charred ashes.


    Feeling the pain transmitted from the spirit portal, the shock on Silver Lucas''s face was unmistakable. The strength of Ethereal Lotus was only that of a third order high lord grade, yet the Blood Demon General of the same strength couldn''t withstand even a single move and perished on the spot.


    Moreover, not even a trace of the body was left behind!


    Looking at the crystal blue flower in the sky, the expressions on everyone''s faces were exceptionally stunned. After a moment, the sound of gasps for air rang out one after another.


    The Blood Demon General, who had run rampant in Bloodstone Pass for years, met such an end, truly making one sigh.


    In the crowd, Steel Hon''s mouth twitched fiercely, then he turned around, intending to flee the scene. In his heart, he had already cursed Silver Lucas millions of times.


    "Blaze Regret, don''t let that guy get away!" Blaze Adam rubbed the red mark on his face, his gaze as sharp as an unsheathed sword, pointing directly at Steel Hon.


    "What happened?" Blaze Regret asked coldly.


    Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire


    "This person is named Steel Hon, also from Velorian City. He led the people from the Blood seal Gate to capture me," Blaze Adam said, filled with anger. He had been walking in Bloodstone Pass, always hiding his identity, and if it weren''t for Steel Hon, he wouldn''t have suffered Silver Lucas''s humiliation.


    "Snap!"


    As the two spoke, Ethereal Lotus had already waved her slender hand, and a long green vine directly wrapped around the panicked Steel Hon, pulling him over. The sharp thorns on the vine pierced him painfully.


    "Blaze Adam, spare me. I''m also from Velorian City!" Steel Hon was hung in front of Blaze Adam by Ethereal Lotus, his face full of pleading, but deep in his eyes, there was a hidden, intense malice.


    Blaze Adam was only a ninth level spirit warrior master, while he was a third level spirit Imperiall master. Being forced to apologize to Blaze Adam felt like a great humiliation to him.


    "Spare you?" Blaze Adam sneered. "When you brought the Blood seal Gate to my door, did you think about that? Now you want to plead for mercy? Too late!" With that, Blaze Adam shaped his hand like a claw and mercilessly crushed Steel Hon''s throat.

 Chapter 319 Request

    "Crack!"Hearing the sound of breaking nearby, Blaze Regret sighed softly. It seemed that Blaze Adam had experienced quite a lot over the years. Otherwise, he would find it hard to believe that a once gentle member of the Blaze family had become so ruthless.


    Seeing Steel Hon''s death, Ethereal Lotus''s small hand trembled, and the green vine quickly retracted into her palm. Her bright, sparkling eyes stared directly at Blaze Regret, twinkling.


    "You win," Blaze Regret said with a wry smile, knowingly taking a spiritual fruit from his void realms stone and placing it in Ethereal Lotus''s hand.


    "This spirit beast..." Blaze Adam was astonished as he looked at the satisfied Ethereal Lotus. She had defeated the Blood Demon General in a single move, even though they had the same strength. It was terrifying.


    "We''ll talk later; let''s deal with the situation here first."


    Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted, fixing intently on Silver Lucas. A cold killing intent instantly gathered on his face. Now, he was strong enough, and the responsibility to protect his family had gradually shifted from Blaze Ash to him. Naturally, it was up to him to stand up for his family.


    Moreover, Blaze Adam''s humiliation was largely his responsibility.


    "You little brat, it''s not that easy to kill me!"


    Suddenly lifting his head, Silver Lucas looked at Blaze Regret with a grimace. Both of his hands aligned and then clapped heavily. His face immediately turned pale as droplets of blood seeped from his pores, quietly floating around him.


    Seeing Silver Lucas''s move, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. This must be the offensive spiritual technique contained within Silver Lucas''s cultivation method. He wondered how its destructive power would compare to his own Rock Shattering Palm.


    However, he had no intention of testing it out.


    "Blood Swirl Art, Blood Spiral Drill!"


    With Silver Lucas''s furious shout, the floating blood droplets swiftly gathered in front of him, transforming into a rapidly spinning spiral blood drill. A monstrous, bloody stench emanated from it.


    "Go!"


    With a push of Silver Lucas''s palm, the spiral blood drill roared forward, its sharp whistling sound slicing through the air as it shot fiercely towards Blaze Regret.


    Find adventures on empire


    "Impressive power, but unfortunately, it''s not for me to handle," Blaze Regret said softly, standing still as he watched the storm like spiral blood drill.


    "Whoosh!"


    Without even glancing at it, Ethereal Lotus, while savoring the spiritual fruit in her mouth, waved her hand. A sharp vine pierced through the air, instantly cutting through the center of the spiral blood drill and, without any resistance, striking Silver Lucas''s throat.


    In front of the entire Blood seal Gate, an utter silence prevailed. Stunned gazes watched as the vine retracted, causing a spray of blood to erupt from Silver Lucas''s throat. Everyone felt a suffocating sensation.


    Silver Lucas was actually dead!


    As they watched his body slowly fall backward, everyone was in a daze. Was the era of the Blood seal Gate''s dominance over Bloodstone Pass finally coming to an end?


    And the one ending this era appeared to be just a seemingly harmless young boy.


    "Let''s go!"


    The moment Silver Lucas hit the ground, several elders of the Blood seal Gate exchanged glances, each seeing the intention to retreat in the other''s eyes. As long as the Blood Lake in the Black Abyss remained, they would have ample opportunities to rise again in the future.


    Unfortunately, what they didn''t know was that the Blood Lake had already been completely dealt with by Blaze Regret.


    "Trying to escape?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly. If these people stayed, they would inevitably cause trouble, and if they ever found their way to the Blaze family, it might lead to complications.


    "You little brat, if we can''t kill you, we can still kill the Blaze family!" thought the fleeing elders of the Blood seal Gate, their eyes filled with malice. However, they hadn''t run far when several sharp vines pierced through their chests, still dripping with blood droplets.


    "This Blood seal Gate no longer has any reason to exist."


    Blaze Regret murmured softly as the vines shooting from Ethereal Lotus''s palm began to dance wildly, lashing furiously at the buildings of the Blood seal Gate, sending shattered stones flying in all directions.


    Countless disciples of the Blood seal Gate rushed out in panic, fleeing in all directions.


    Blaze Regret didn''t bother with them; they were nothing but small fry, and killing them all was both unnecessary and impractical. Moreover, the Blaze family''s reputation had already spread. Ruthlessly exterminating them would only bring negative repercussions for the Blaze family.


    "Blaze Regret, can I ask you a favor?" Blaze Adam hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    "Is there any need for formality between us?" Blaze Regret said with a helpless smile, waving his hand to deflect a flying stone.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Adam pulled open his shirt to reveal horrifying scars marring his chest, each one a shocking testament to his ordeal. The skin on his chest was also burned, exposing raw flesh.


    "Who did this to you?"


    Seeing these dreadful marks, the smile vanished from Blaze Regret''s face, replaced by a cold, murderous intent that surged from within him, causing the onlooking spirit master to shiver involuntarily.


    Standing before the collapsing Blood seal Gate, Blaze Regret listened to Blaze Adam''s account, his expression gradually darkening.


    Two years ago, Blaze Adam left Velorian City and came to Bloodstone Pass, where he accidentally met a friend named Wan Cuah. The two quickly became close, and after getting to know each other, Blaze Adam gifted Wan Cuah an Empty Soul Pill.


    It was this very Empty Soul Pill that brought disaster to Wan Cuah.


    Somehow, the news reached a rank eight Spirit warrior Master named Qong Pian, who took advantage of the dark night to infiltrate the Wan family. Not only did he steal the Empty Soul Pill, but he also brutally murdered Wan Cuah''s entire family.

 Chapter 320 Blame Their Own Weakness

    "All for a mere first grade pill?" Blaze Regret''s face grew even colder. The price of a first grade Empty Soul Pill was only about ten thousand gold coins, which wasn''t considered expensive for a Spirit warrior Master. To kill an entire family over such a trivial sum was beyond excessive.It was utterly outrageous!


    "I tried to take revenge, but Qong Pian''s brother is a second tier Spirit Imperial Master, and I''m no match for him at all," Blaze Adam said, his face filled with pain. If he hadn''t given the Empty Soul Pill, this tragedy would never have happened.


    "Qong Pian''s brother, Qong Pear, even said that Wan Cuah''s family''s murder was their good fortune, claiming that his brother was contributing to Bloodstone Pass by getting rid of the incapable." Blaze Adam gritted his teeth, flames of anger burning in his eyes.


    "Lead the way." A cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as his deep voice rang out.


    No matter what, he couldn''t stand by and watch his kin being bullied. Furthermore, based on Blaze Adam''s description, both Qong Pear and Qong Pian were not good people. Those who would kill an entire family for personal gain deserved to be eradicated.


    Moreover, killing such people wouldn''t weigh on his conscience at all.


    ...


    The Qong family, within the walls of Bloodstone Pass, could only be considered a small family.


    The strongest member of the entire family was merely Qong Pear, the second tier Spirit Imperial Master.


    "This is the Qong family?" Blaze Regret looked at the plaque on the gate, his expression indifferent, before suddenly kicking out with all his strength.


    "Bang!"


    The wooden door couldn''t withstand Blaze Regret''s powerful kick and shattered, splinters flying into the courtyard in a whirlwind of fierce wind.


    "Who goes there!"


    At the moment the loud crash echoed, a figure rushed out with a cold expression. His eyes were narrowed, giving off an extremely uncomfortable vibe.


    "That''s Qong Pian," Blaze Adam said, clenching his fist tightly and gritting his teeth.


    "Do you know where this is? Are you tired of living?"


    Qong Pian''s voice was chilling. When he saw Blaze Adam beside Blaze Regret, a mocking look immediately appeared on his face. "Oh, the last time you were chased like a dog by my brother, and now you have the nerve to come back?" sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Qong Pian, you exterminated the Wan family over a mere Empty Soul Pill, you truly are insane!" Blaze Adam''s eyes turned red with rage, wishing he could tear Qong Pian apart.


    "Is that so? I didn''t know that."


    In response, Qong Pian smiled and casually dug at his ear, indifferent. "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? I could just as easily say it was you. Could it be that you were coveting Wan Cuah''s wife''s beauty and couldn''t control yourself, doing something more despicable than a beast?"


    As he spoke, Qong Pian wore a lewd grin, completely ignoring Blaze Regret beside Blaze Adam.


    His strength was too low, lacking the qualifications to guard the city walls. Otherwise, upon seeing Blaze Regret, he would never have acted so frivolously; he would have likely been terrified and collapsed on the ground.


    "Qong Pian, you still won''t admit it!" Blaze Adam shouted angrily, extending his hand to pull out a wooden plaque from his clothing, which bore the character for "Qong" carved into it!


    "Oh, this thing?"


    Qong Pian picked his nose and grinned, "You know, that Wan Cuah''s wife has quite the reputation for being promiscuous. She''s been seducing men for years. If you were to ok sneak under her bed, you might even find a plaque from the Blaze family."


    As he finished, Qong Pian burst into laughter, his arrogant cackles drawing the attention of passersby.


    "You''re asking for death!" Blaze Adam''s face darkened, and with all his strength, he swung his fist towards Qong Pian''s face.


    He was fully aware of the Wan family''s character, and Qong Pian''s words were a blatant insult!


    "Bang!"


    Just as Blaze Adam''s fist was about to connect, a fierce gust of wind suddenly howled in, aiming straight for Blaze Adam''s chest, showing no mercy at all.


    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret grasped Blaze Adam''s arm and applied a bit of force, allowing the gust to brush past the latter''s clothing, smashing the damaged doorframe to pieces.


    "Is it you, brat?"


    The newcomer was none other than Qong Pian''s brother, Qong Pear. He coldly glared at Blaze Adam and then glanced at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with disdain.


    Since they had come to him, he might as well deal with them both! He had just returned from a business deal with a medium sized family, the Snow family, and thus didn''t regard the seemingly youthful Blaze Regret as a threat at all.


    "Big brother, kill them all!" Upon seeing Qong Pear, Qong Pian''s lips curled into a cold smile. Just a couple of worthless fools daring to stir trouble at the Qong family, they didn''t know the meaning of death!


    Of course, at that moment, he completely overlooked the fact that his own strength was one tier lower than Blaze Adam''s.


    "Can I ask if the scar on my brother''s chest was caused by you?" Blaze Regret looked at Qong Pear and asked softly.


    "So what if it was? If this brat hadn''t been so cunning, I would''ve killed him long ago," Qong Pear snorted coldly, showing no intention of hiding his disdain.


    "Was it your brother who killed the Wan family?" Blaze Regret asked patiently once again.


    "That''s right. They were killed, and they have no one to blame but themselves. They can only blame their own weakness," Qong Pear replied arrogantly, shooting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret.


    Seeing the silent Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam, Qong Pian wore a mocking expression. Find your next read on empire


    "They can only blame their own weakness."


    As he repeated this phrase, a cold glint suddenly appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. He reached out and grabbed Qong Pear, then without using any spiritual power, he delivered a heavy kick.


    "Bang!"

 Chapter 321 you are also a weakling

    Caught off guard by the sudden blow, Qong Pear was knocked to the ground before he could even react. Just as he was about to curse, Blaze Regret''s foot came crashing down on his face."So you think it''s fine to kill just because someone is weak, huh? Very well!"


    With a sharp, cold light flashing in his eyes, Blaze Regret''s foot, under Qong Pian''s horrified gaze, rained down relentlessly on Qong Pear''s body, the sound of cracking bones echoing throughout the scene.


    "What... what are you doing..." Qong Pian stammered, his face trembling in shock.


    However, before he could finish, Blaze Adam delivered a powerful kick that sent him flying.


    In an instant, Qong Pear''s bones were crushed under Blaze Regret''s relentless assault, and the once arrogant look on his face was replaced by sheer terror.


    It finally dawned on him that he had encountered a real challenge today!


    "In my eyes, you are also a weakling."


    Looking down expressionlessly at the crumpled Qong Pear, Blaze Regret delivered another kick, sending him flying in a parabolic arc, crashing heavily in front of the Qong family''s gate.


    Passersby stared at the pitiful sight of Qong Pear, their hearts shaken.


    What kind of hatred could lead to this? It seemed likely that Qong Pear would be a cripple for the rest of his life!


    With a detached expression on his face, Blaze Regret walked step by step downward. The onlookers along the way instinctively made way for him, sensing a chilling aura emanating from the young man.


    "Is it him?"


    Although many inside the Bloodstone Pass had never seen Blaze Regret, some recognized him. So when their eyes landed on Qong Pear lying on the ground, they couldn''t help but feel a bit of pity.


    Who else would you provoke but him? This young man had just killed Silver Lucas.


    "How does it feel to be the weak one?" Blaze Regret approached Qong Pear, his cold voice slowly rising.


    "Heh, if I ever get the chance, I''ll wipe out your entire family!" Qong Pear, lying on the ground, stared fiercely at Blaze Regret, his smile twisted with malice.


    Hearing this, those who knew Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a bit dizzy. Threatening him? does he think his life is too secure?


    "Oh."


    With a faint response, Blaze Regret lifted his foot, aiming at Qong Pear''s head, ready to stomp without any unnecessary words.


    It''s better to eliminate such venomous people early.


    "Wait!" Qong Pear, seeing the shadow looming over him, showed an expression of terror that instantly covered his face. At this moment, he could no longer maintain his vicious fa?ade. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Do you still have something to say?" Blaze Regret''s foot paused in midair, and he slightly frowned.


    "I admit you''re strong, but if you kill me, the Fire family won''t let you go!" Qong Pear panted heavily, shouting at the top of his lungs.


    "Then let them come for me," Blaze Regret said calmly, as his foot, still suspended in midair, was about to stomp down again.


    "Are you afraid, planning to kill me and then flee Bloodstone Pass immediately?" Qong Pear, looking crazed, roared angrily in his heart. Enjoying a moment''s triumph, what kind of hero is that if you have to flee in the end?


    Blaze Regret''s gaze flickered slightly as he brought his foot down heavily along Qong Pear''s face, causing stones to scatter and forcing Qong Pear to close his eyes in pain.


    "Is the Fire family very powerful?" Blaze Regret asked softly.


    "Heh, at least they''re someone you can''t afford to provoke," Qong Pear opened his eyes, sneering repeatedly. His taunt had finally worked. As long as the head of the Fire family came, Blaze Regret''s fate would be far worse than his.


    The head of the Fire family, Fire Spark, was a distant relative of his. Currently, Fire Spark was a sixth level spirit Imperial master, and within Bloodstone Pass, he looked down on everyone except a few individuals.


    "Brother, he doesn''t dare at all!"


    In the Qong family courtyard, Qong Pian struggled to stand, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered.


    Over the years, Fire Spark had helped them kill countless people. As long as he could come, it wouldn''t be long before Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam would become cold corpses.


    "Young man, let it go when you can. No matter what they''ve done, you''ve already beaten Qong Pear like this, so it''s time to stop."


    "Yes, if you go too far, you might not end well."


    Among the crowd, many who knew the Qong brothers acted as peacemakers, but the supposedly conciliatory voices carried a hint of threat.


    These people more or less knew the Qong family''s background, and if they could do them a favor, they might reap considerable benefits later.


    As for the grievances between Blaze Adam and the Qong family, they couldn''t care less. Even if they knew about Wan Cuah''s family''s demise, it had nothing to do with them.


    They only cared about their own interests.


    Reading their thoughts, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth. He swept his gaze over those who had spoken up, memorizing each of them.


    "Shut up! Do you know that it was this Qong Pian who killed my brother Wan Cuah''s entire family!" Blaze Adam grabbed Qong Pian by the collar and lifted him up, roaring in anger.


    "Little brother, that''s not right! Do you have any evidence? Can anyone prove that it was Qong Pian who killed them?"


    "Exactly, anyone can throw around accusations. Don''t wrong the good people."


    "And even if it is true, what does it matter? The dead can''t come back to life. What''s done is done; when will this cycle of vengeance end?"


    The people who had spoken earlier chastised him with righteous indignation, as if Blaze Adam were the real villain and Qong Pian the victim.

 Chapter 322 Calling Help

    "Fine, you all are something!"Hearing the accusations, Blaze Adam trembled with rage. The shamelessness of these people exceeded his expectations. In the next moment, he loosened his grip and threw Qong Pian away, growling, "I''ll stand right here; you go call the people from the Fire family!"


    At this moment, Blaze Adam was filled with a strong desire to kill those from the Fire family. Moreover, the last time he was chased by Qong Pian, there had been Fire family members involved as well. He hadn''t wanted to cause trouble for Blaze Regret, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.


    If he could kill Silver Lucas, then what was Fire Spark in front of Blaze Regret!


    "Heh, that''s what you said."


    Being thrown away by Blaze Adam, Qong Pian wasn''t angry; instead, a look of joy spread across his face. Without a second thought, he immediately took out a sound transmission shell, his voice quivering with excitement.


    "You Qong family likes to call for help, so can I call a few people too?" Blaze Regret looked down, gazing at Qong Pear, who couldn''t even stand up, his voice calm.


    In response, Qong Pear merely sneered, too lazy to make a sound. He truly didn''t believe that Blaze Adam, who had been chased to the point of fleeing, could know any significant figures in Bloodstone Pass.


    As Blaze Adam''s brother, Blaze Regret was naturally viewed the same way in his mind.


    "Then that''s settled." Blaze Regret murmured, then took out a sound transmission shell from the void realms stone, sending messages to the Patel Family and the Jack Family, and of course, he didn''t forget about Blaze Wahab and the others either.


    Since they were about to leave Bloodstone Pass, the remaining trivial matters naturally needed to be dealt with thoroughly.


    Blaze Regret''s voice was so low that even Qong Pear, lying on the ground, couldn''t hear him. He was still lost in his fantasies, contemplating what method he would use to torture and kill Blaze Regret later.


    "I mustn''t let him die too easily!" Qong Pear swore in his heart; it was the first time he had lost so much face in Bloodstone Pass.


    Even if he successfully killed Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam, the experience of being beaten to the point of not being able to stand would become a joke, a topic of gossip among the people of Bloodstone Pass.


    "I forgot to tell you, that brat Wan Cuah is quite lucky. I had to drain his blood three times before I finally took him down."


    After putting down the sound transmission shell, a moment later, Song Qian lifted his head and cast a smiling gaze at Blaze Adam, his expression filled with unmasked provocation.


    "You''re seeking death!" The killing intent in Blaze Adam''s eyes suddenly surged. Just as he bent his hand, an enraged voice thundered from the end of the street, like a clap of thunder.


    "Who touched my nephew? Come here and die!"


    The furious voice that came from afar echoed between heaven and earth. On the faces of Qong Pear and Song Qian, a strong sense of joy immediately appeared. The few people who had spoken up for them earlier also slightly raised the corners of their mouths. Fire Spark had finally arrived.

    Blaze Regret lightly pursed his lips, bent down, and picked up Qong Pear.


    "What are you doing!" Qong Pear shouted angrily. The arrival of Fire Spark undoubtedly gave him great courage.


    Without a word, Blaze Regret took out a long rope from the void realm stone, tied up Qong Pear''s legs, and threw the other end of the rope over a branch of a large tree in front of the Qong family''s house.


    "I warn you, don''t act rashly!"


    Qong Pear''s threatening roar seemed utterly pale in front of Blaze Regret. His body was directly hoisted upside down, with his head only an inch away from the ground.


    Seeing this scene, many people twitched their mouths. Wasn''t this young man afraid of death? The person coming was Fire Spark, who had a small reputation at Bloodstone Pass.


    Only a few people who knew Blaze Regret sighed silently for Fire Spark. Today might be a day he would remember forever.


    "Boom!"


    A scorching wave came from mid air, followed by a black figure plummeting down, landing heavily on the ground, causing the stones at Blaze Regret''s feet to tremble slightly.


    This person was Fire Spark. His body was extremely bloated, like a small mountain. Above his head, a Blazing Flame Flood Dragon hovered, emitting the previous scorching waves.


    "Do you know what you''re doing?" Fire Spark glanced at Qong Pear, who was hanging upside down on the tree branch, and his face immediately turned extremely dark.


    With his keen eyes, it was not difficult for him to see that all the bones in Qong Pear''s body had been shattered. Even a second grade alchemist might not be able to heal him.


    Moreover, with his connections, even a first grade alchemist might be hard to summon.


    "Do you know what they did?" Blaze Regret pointed to Qong Pear and Song Qian, speaking in an indifferent voice.


    "Let''s hear it," Fire Spark sneered, seemingly listening but clearly questioning.


    "Song Qian killed Wan Cuah''s entire family for an Empty Soul Pill, and Qong Pear left scars on my brother, then ruthlessly tried to kill him. What I did wasn''t excessive, was it?" Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "How utterly ridiculous. Wan Cuah was just some nobody, what''s the big deal if he''s dead? As for your brother, he can just find a place to heal. It''s not like he''s a girl with scars that can''t be shown, right?" Fire Spark mocked with disdain.


    "But you injured Qong Pear. Don''t you think you owe me an explanation for that?" Fire Spark''s voice suddenly turned harsh as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    Hearing this, many onlookers felt a surge of anger. They were people similar to Wan Cuah. What did he mean by some nobody? Was his nephew human, and others not?

 Chapter 323 Explanation

    "Bloodstone Pass is really in chaos," Blaze Regret sighed softly."You rogue cultivators should keep a low profile. Offend the wrong people, and you''ll lose your lives sooner or later," Fire Spark sneered, looking at Blaze Regret with contempt.


    "Uncle Fire, stop wasting time with them. Just kill them all!" Qong Pear roared, driven nearly insane by the stares of those around him.


    "Of course," Fire Spark grinned, opening his palm to command his spirit beast to tear Blaze Regret and his companion apart.


    Just as Fire Spark raised his hand, a sudden, sharp whooshing sound came from the sky, followed by several small black shadows swiftly approaching like lightning.


    "Courting death? Don''t they know that high altitude flying is forbidden in Bloodstone Pass?" Fire Spark frowned, planning to report this to Silver Lucas later to deal with these reckless people properly.


    However, he didn''t know that the Blood seal Gate on the inner wall of Bloodstone Pass no longer existed, and Silver Lucas had already met his end at Blaze Regret''s hands.


    "Snap!"


    Several figures leaped down from the backs of flying spirit beasts, astonishing everyone. Leading them was none other than Jack Mana of the Jack Family!


    "What is he doing here? Is he tired of living? Didn''t the lesson from the Blood seal Gate teach them enough?" Fire Spark frowned, but he wasn''t too intimidated by Jack Mana, as his Blazing Flame Flood Dragon had a perfect counter against Jack Mana''s Frost Arrow Spirit.


    "I''m not late, am I, young brother?"


    Stepping forward, Jack Mana cupped his hands respectfully towards Blaze Regret, a gesture that left everyone dumbfounded.


    Could they be seeing things? The head of the Jack family was actually saluting a young man!


    "Master Jack, what are you playing at?" Fire Spark shouted angrily. Had the old man lost his mind, greeting Blaze Regret without even acknowledging him first?


    "Shut up!"


    Turning his head, Jack Mana''s face turned icy as he stomped his foot, releasing a powerful spiritual pressure that forced Fire Spark to stumble backward.


    "An eighth level spirit Imperial master!"


    Feeling the imposing presence Jack Mana unleashed, many people exclaimed in shock. The Jack family, previously at the bottom of the hierarchy in Bloodstone Pass, had produced an eighth level spirit Imperial master!


    "This is impossible!" Fire Spark steadied himself, his face filled with horror. Just a few months ago, Jack Mana had only been a sixth level spirit Imperial master. How could he have advanced so quickly?


    As he noticed Jack Mana''s respectful demeanor toward Blaze Regret, a sense of unease began to swirl wildly in Fire Spark''s heart.


    "Not too late," Blaze Regret nodded slightly. The Jack family''s distance from here wasn''t exactly short, so managing to arrive in such a short time, even on flying spirit beasts, was quite a feat.


    Seeing Blaze Regret nod, Jack Mana breathed a sigh of relief internally.


    During this time, his advancement through the Hundred Spirit Pool had been astonishingly rapid, and there were even higher level light energy entities deep within the pool. At this rate, he would soon become a spirit lord, and one day, he might even touch the realm of the spirit King! S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Thus, he was now utterly devoted to Blaze Regret.


    "How is it possible? How could he summon an eighth level spirit Imperial master!"


    Qong Pear, hanging upside down, was as pale as a ghost, and the previously arrogant Song Qian had a slight tremor at the corners of his mouth, with deep fear filling his eyes.


    Those who had previously spoken up for the Qong brothers were now feeling a chill run down their spines.


    "So what if he''s an eighth level spirit Imperial master? My Blazing Flame Flood Dragon might not necessarily lose to his Frost Arrow Spirit," Fire Spark steadied himself, his face regaining its confident look.


    After all, fire attributes had a strong advantage over ice attributes.


    With a smile on his face, Fire Spark was about to speak when several sharp whistling sounds suddenly came from beyond the outer walls of Bloodstone Pass, accompanied by an elderly voice filled with laughter.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, we finally meet again!"


    An aged laughter echoed across the sky, followed by a fiery red shadow swiftly diving down, accompanied by scorching waves sweeping across the area. It was a giant red eagle, its body covered with fiery armor and its head enveloped in blazing flames, resembling a small burning sun.


    "A Red patterned Eagle?"


    Someone below immediately recognized the flaming giant eagle, and instantly, everyone''s expressions became incredibly varied. Within the entire Bloodstone Pass, only Patel Rong, the head of the Patel Family, possessed such a spirit beast.


    Could it be that Patel Rong had also come to support this young man?


    Thinking of this possibility, many people found it somewhat unbelievable. How influential could this young man be to have the heads of two major families in Bloodstone Pass travel such a distance to support him?


    "Young friend Blaze Regret, as soon as I received your message, I rushed over immediately."


    Patel Rong, smiling broadly, leaped down from the Red patterned Eagle. His spirited face made many people secretly wonder in their hearts. Wasn''t this old man poisoned by the Scarlet Serpent''s venom? Yet now, he showed no signs of being poisoned.


    "Senior Patel, you''re too kind." Blaze Regret smiled faintly, then cast a slightly cold gaze towards Fire Spark.


    "Master Fire, what''s going on here? Could you give me an explanation?" Patel Rong squinted his old eyes, his indifferent voice spreading out.


    Although the Fire family held some weight in Bloodstone Pass, there was still a considerable gap compared to the Patel Family. Thus, from the outset, Patel Rong didn''t show Fire Spark any courtesy and immediately questioned him.


    Upon hearing this, Fire Spark''s face stiffened, and a trace of cold sweat appeared in his palm. Damn it, how did this little brat know people from both the Patel and Jack Family, and even manage to invite both family heads at the same time?

 Chapter 324 Ill bleed you three hundred times!

    "young brother, let''s not escalate this matter," fire spark said, bracing himself and looking at blaze regret, his tone suggesting a desire to turn a major issue into a minor one."let it go? who do you think you are, to have the right to say that?" jack mana snorted coldly.


    as the head of the jack family, jack mana was certainly not someone known for being kind hearted or lenient. judging by blaze regret''s icy expression, it was clear that fire spark had deeply offended him, making it unlikely for the matter to be settled easily.


    "jack mana, don''t go too far!" fire spark''s eyes flared with anger. if blaze regret truly intended to hold him accountable, even if he had nine lives, he would lose them all today.


    after all, patel rong was an eighth tier spirit imperial master, and his red patterned eagle could easily tear open the body of a blazing flame flood dragon with a single claw!


    "so what if i am going too far?" jack mana''s lips curled into a sinister smile.


    over the years, the jack family had been too quiet in bloodstone pass, to the point that the head of the fire family dared to shout at him. if fire spark dared to speak out again, jack mana wouldn''t mind reminding everyone in bloodstone pass that the jack family was still a bloodthirsty lion.


    seemingly understanding jack mana''s intentions, fire spark''s face turned a deep shade of blue. just as he was about to muster the courage to shift all the blame onto blaze adam, a humid pressure suddenly enveloped him.


    "what audacity, to even dare touch someone from the blaze family!"


    as the voice sounded, a torrent of spiritual power surged in like a tide. everyone watched in astonishment as a deep blue giant shark roared in, hovering three feet above the ground.


    this seemed to be a rare water attribute spirit beast.


    riding on the back of the giant shark, blaze wahab was visibly furious. the moment blaze adam was captured, he received a voice transmission and immediately informed blaze regret.


    but when blaze regret recounted blaze adam''s ordeal through the voice transmitting shell, the anger in blaze wahab''s heart erupted like a long dormant volcano.


    protecting their own was a natural instinct for every member of the blaze family.


    "grand elder."


    standing in front of the qong family''s gate, blaze adam felt a wave of emotion as he watched the giant shark approach swiftly. it had been at least two years since he last had contact with the blaze family members.


    "how did it come to this?" fire spark''s lips trembled as he realized how foolish it was to stand up for the qong brothers today. not only would he face the patel and jack family'' wrath, but even the blaze family from distant velorian city was descending upon them in anger.


    throughout the entire bloodstone pass, apart from the blood seal gate, there has yet to be a force capable of standing against the blaze family!


    "blaze wahab?" patel rong and jack mana were surprised to see blaze wahab leap down from the giant shark. since the establishment of bloodstone pass, no family had been willing to completely sever ties with any of its powers!


    this is because once someone from bloodstone pass is killed, it becomes incredibly difficult for that family to maintain a foothold there. all factions, regardless of size, would unite in opposition.


    they initially thought blaze regret had only called them for support, but they didn''t expect the blaze family to also join in.


    "younger friend..." patel rong and jack mana looked at blaze regret, hesitating slightly.


    being far away, they were unaware that the blood seal gate and the stun family were nearly wiped out. they weren''t too concerned about the stun family, but the blood seal gate still intimidated them.


    "the blood seal gate and the stun family are no more," blaze regret said softly. yet, to patel rong and jack mana, the words struck like thunder from the sky, leaving them momentarily stunned.


    the blood seal gate and the stun family were really gone?


    the information contained in those few words left them bewildered.


    when they regained their senses, they swallowed in disbelief. could it be that this young man was behind it all?


    "blaze adam, i''m right here. do whatever you need to do. if anyone dares to stop you, i''ll be the first to deal with them!" blaze wahab''s face was filled with immense anger as he looked at the scars on blaze adam''s torn clothes.


    with a cold smile, blaze adam clenched his hand, and a dark dagger formed from spiritual power appeared in his grip, its edges glistening with a chilling light.


    "what are you going to do?"


    qong pian shouted in terror as blaze adam approached, retreating repeatedly in fear.


    "younger brother, must you be so aggressive?" fire spark called out urgently, but the water sphere forming in blaze wahab''s palm caused him to shut his mouth in terror immediately.


    "you mentioned earlier that you drained wan cuah''s blood three times, right?"


    with a sinister smile, blaze adam raised the dark dagger in his hand and, with a powerful step, charged towards the terrified qong pian. "then today, i''ll bleed you three hundred times!" sear?h the n?vel(f)ire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    stay connected with empire


    "swish!"


    the sharp dagger traced an eerie arc and struck directly at qong pian''s abdomen. instantly, a piercing scream erupted as a thin line of blood spurted out.


    the scream was hair raising, yet no one dared to intervene.


    in fact, many people breathed a sigh of relief. they were the kind who, like wan cuah, often suffered under the oppression of these families, so seeing qong pian face retribution was immensely satisfying.


    the dense cold gleam flickered around qong pian, and as he felt his body being torn apart, an uncontrollable fear surged within him.


    "clang!"


    with a flick of his hand, blaze adam drove the dark dagger into the ground and panted heavily. behind him, qong pian''s body was covered in scars, both large and small, leaving his body in tatters.

 Chapter 325 Despair

    "brother, i''m sending him down to accompany you."a trace of sadness flickered in blaze adam''s eyes as he gently pressed his hand against qong pian''s chest.


    "splash!"


    as blaze adam''s hand landed, the blood lines on qong pian''s body sprayed out like a fountain, and the sight of hundreds of blood lines flying was enough to send a chill down many people''s spines.


    watching qong pian''s gruesome demise, qong pear''s eyes trembled. retribution, it seemed, had finally arrived.


    "uncle fire, save me!" qong pear desperately cast his gaze towards fire spark, shouting in terror. his face was twisted with fear.


    with an unsettled expression, fire spark glanced at patel rong and the others, letting out a long sigh.


    "young man, this is your conflict. i won''t get involved. farewell." fire spark waved his sleeve and turned to leave, knowing that staying any longer would only drag himself into the mess.


    as fire spark showed signs of retreating, many people exchanged glances. was this a sign of him backing down?


    seeing fire spark swiftly turn his back, qong pear''s face turned pale, filled with infinite despair.


    "stop, did i say you could leave?" blaze regret''s cold voice sounded softly as his eyes narrowed slightly.


    "what more do you want?" fire spark turned back angrily. haven''t i given you enough face already? you''re just a wretch relying on external forces, do you really think you''re something?


    if it weren''t for patel rong and the others, you would already be a dead man!


    "you and some people from the fire family pursued me. have you forgotten?"


    taking a step forward, blaze adam viciously pulled open his shirt, revealing skin burned and torn by flames, causing many to shiver.


    this injury should be fatal, right?


    "such a trivial matter, do you need to hold onto it?"


    fire spark sneered, pulling out a bag of gold coins from the void realm stone and throwing it at blaze adam''s feet, mocking, "a grown man holding grudges so well, aren''t you just trying to rob me? here''s a thousand gold coins for you."


    hearing fire spark''s dismissive words, blaze adam''s heart surged with anger. it''s easy for you to say, but i''ve been tortured by this burning pain for nearly a month, almost dying several times!


    after throwing his mocking words, fire spark turned away again, considering that offering blaze adam some compensation was already a great favor.


    however, just as he turned, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. blaze regret coldly stared at fire spark, his right foot, engulfed in scorching flames, ruthlessly kicked his chest.


    "boom!"


    under this heavy blow, fire spark was sent flying backward, his bulky body hitting the ground with a fierce tremor.


    "ah!"


    lying on the ground, fire spark suddenly let out a cry of pain as pale yellow flames rapidly burned on his chest, filling the air with a charred smell.


    in just a moment, the scorching flames had burned his chest, leaving it raw and blistered.


    "i''ll kill you!" fire spark roared in fury, rolling on the ground until he gathered all his spiritual energy at his chest, forming a barrier to finally expel the flames. sea??h th§× nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    struggling to stand, fire spark glared at blaze regret with murderous intent, the pain in his chest feeling as if it were about to explode.


    "for such a trivial matter, a thousand gold coins should settle it. is it worth developing a murderous heart?" blaze regret smirked, his words making fire spark tremble with rage.


    explore new worlds at empire


    from a distance, patel rong and jack mana watched fire spark with amused smiles, mocking him openly.


    "patel family, jack family, you''ve done well!"


    fire spark cast a venomous glance at patel rong and jack mana. "as family of bloodstone pass, you actually help outsiders. once i inform the stun and silver families, you''ll be in trouble."


    with that, fire spark took out a sound transmitting shell from the void realm stone, angrily sending out several messages. however, apart from a response from the silver family, there was no reaction from the stun family''s sound transmitting mark.


    "it seems your influence, fire spark, isn''t quite enough," jack mana sneered, now fully believing that both the blood seal gate and the stun family no longer existed.


    "hmph." fire spark collected the sound transmitting shell, glaring angrily at patel rong and jack mana, thinking to himself that he had secretly sent someone to notify the stun family and the blood seal gate, and that both families would soon face their misfortune.


    "did you send someone to the stun family and the blood seal gate for reinforcements?" blaze regret asked with a smile.


    "so what if i did?" fire spark sneered.


    "i have some good news for you: neither of those forces exist in bloodstone pass anymore," blaze regret said with a slight smirk, causing a stir among those around.


    even within the inner walls of bloodstone pass, with nearly a million residents, such major news was still largely unknown.


    "you say they''re gone, and so they are? who do you think you are?" fire spark scoffed dismissively. anyone can make baseless claims, but he''d never seen anyone boast as brazenly as blaze regret.


    watching fire spark''s arrogant demeanor, blaze adam''s eyes turned cold, wondering how long he could maintain that expression.


    "the walker family''s people are coming."


    suddenly, someone pointed to the distance, where several figures were swiftly approaching. leading them was none other than the great elder of the walker family, walker sin.


    "ha!" fire spark''s face lit up with delight at the sight, his malicious gaze discreetly sweeping over blaze regret and the others.


    let''s see how long you can keep up your bravado!


    "elder walker," fire spark greeted walker sin, his face plastered with a flattering smile.


    "my young friend, we meet again."


    however, walker sin acted as if he didn''t see fire spark at all, passing right by him and stopping in front of blaze regret, a broad smile on his face as he clasped his hands in respect.

 Chapter 326 Choice

    seeing this, the smile on fire spark''s face froze instantly."and you, why are you back again?" blaze regret said with mock annoyance, glancing at walker adam, who was standing beside walker sin.


    "brother blaze, i did as you instructed and got the walker family to evacuate quickly. sure enough, that scoundrel silver lucas caused us trouble as soon as he emerged from the black abyss," walker adam said with a sheepish grin.


    not long ago, when he heard of silver lucas''s death, walker adam found it hard to believe. it wasn''t until he saw the ruins with his own eyes that he could finally accept the fact.


    the oppressive mountain that was the blood seal gate had finally collapsed!


    "this can''t be true!" fire spark''s face turned pale. how did the walker family know this young man? he suddenly felt like he''d lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.


    experience tales with empire


    "fire spark, you dare provoke anyone, haven''t you lived long enough?" walker sin sneered, waving his hand as a battered cross blade shot into the ground in front of fire spark''s feet.


    staring at the cracked cross blade, fire spark''s heart surged with turmoil as he recalled blaze regret''s previous bold statements.


    the stun family and the blood seal gate were finished...


    "brother blaze, why go to so much trouble? why not just kill him?" walker adam pointed at fire spark, causing cold sweat to instantly form on fire spark''s forehead.


    hearing this, blaze regret merely smiled, while patel rong and jack mana rapidly turned over thoughts in their minds.


    they weren''t naive enough to think blaze regret invited them merely to watch fire spark make a fool of himself. clearly, blaze regret was using this opportunity to give them a warning.


    "young friend blaze regret, from now on, the patel family will take care of the blaze family''s business in bloodstone pass. the blaze family''s matters are my matters," patel rong said, clasping his hands solemnly.


    "from now on, if anyone dares to touch the blaze family in bloodstone pass, i''ll be the first to oppose it," jack mana quickly added. as an eighth level spirit imperial master, he had the confidence to make such a statement.


    hearing this, blaze regret smiled faintly, knowing that half of his goal to intimidate the two families was accomplished.


    "however, that''s still far from enough."


    turning his gaze to fire spark, a subtle smile curved at the corner of blaze regret''s lips.


    under the scrutiny of many hostile gazes, fire spark involuntarily shivered. not to mention patel rong and jack mana, even blaze wahab from the blaze family was beyond his ability to contend with. any one of these people could easily overwhelm him.


    "blaze regret, my young friend, allow me to handle this person for you," patel rong said with a faint smile. the fiery red striped eagle, blazing with intense flames, swooped down with a whoosh, its icy cold eyes fixed intently on fire spark''s blazing flame flood dragon.


    "heh, a fire attribute spirit beast. my ice arrow spirit might not fear it," jack mana remarked, waving his hand as delicate snowflakes drifted upwards, revealing the graceful figure of the ice arrow spirit.


    watching the two eighth tier imperial grade spirit beasts, many people silently mourned for fire spark. neither the red striped eagle nor the ice arrow spirit were simple opponents.


    fire spark was doomed!


    his chest heaving rapidly, fire spark''s legs felt weak. regret surged in his heart. if he had known it would come to this, why did he bother with the lives of the qong brothers?


    "master fire, perhaps i can offer you two choices," blaze regret said with a smile.


    "what choices?" fire spark trembled inside, but still held a sliver of hope that blaze regret might spare him.


    "first, i kill you. second, i cripple you," blaze regret replied with a smile that concealed a sharp edge. fire spark had injured blaze adam so severely; there was no reason to let him off.


    "you''re playing with me!" sea??h th§× ¦Çovelfire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    hope shattered in his heart, fire spark erupted in a fit of rage. "you''re just bullying me with your power. without these helpers, you wouldn''t even be qualified to lick my shoes. in the end, you''re just a petty man who got lucky!"


    "courting death!"


    hearing fire spark insult blaze regret so brazenly, blaze wahab''s face turned slightly cold. beside him, the ferocious toothed shark opened its massive mouth, quickly brewing a crystalline energy water column within.


    "grand elder, leave it to me," blaze regret said with a nod and smile to blaze wahab. seeing this, the latter snorted coldly, causing the shark to close its mouth.


    "hit a sore spot, didn''t i? does it feel good to rely on others'' power? if you''ve got the guts, have them all attack me at once," fire spark taunted sarcastically, as if certain that blaze regret would fall for his provocation.


    "what do you want then?" blaze regret asked, arms crossed, smiling calmly at fire spark.


    "we go one on one. if you lose, you let me go!" fire spark''s cheeks quivered slightly, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes, as if he had seized his last lifeline.


    "don''t you think that''s rather foolish? you''re in my hands now. whether i kill or spare you is up to me, so what right do you have to make demands?" blaze regret''s indifferent tone carried a hint of mockery.


    "heh, aren''t you just all talk? people with no real ability always make excuses," fire spark continued to taunt, hoping to provoke blaze regret into a fight and thus secure his survival. at worst, he could leave bloodstone pass later.


    "are you sure?"


    blaze regret smirked slightly, spreading his hand open. four spirit portals of different colors rapidly formed in the air, looking quite magnificent.


    "a four source spirit imperial master!"


    the crowd, as if seeing a ghost, was filled with astonishment. were they dreaming? this young man was actually a four source spirit imperial master!

 Chapter 327 Also Have Flame Breath

    standing behind blaze regret, patel rong and the others were equally shocked. they knew blaze regret was strong, but never imagined he was a four source spirit imperial master, something unheard of in the entire sun moon empire!"whoosh!"


    from the fiery red spirit portal, red leaped out, pale yellow fire swirling around its claws, sending waves of heat rippling across the ground.


    "a seventh tier high level imperial grade spirit beast!" the crowd exclaimed in awe, and sympathetic gazes turned to fire spark. his arrogance had finally met its match.


    "roar!"


    with fire spark''s face turning grim, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros slowly stepped forward, its fists emitting a terrifying force that even caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.


    "a ninth tier high level imperial grade spirit beast!" fire spark was utterly horrified. how could this be possible? how could this bastard possess such a powerful spirit beast?


    "ding!" explore more at empire


    the chilling cold filled the area in front of the qong family gate, suppressing even the aura of the ice arrow spirit for a moment.


    the ice control irenix hovering in mid air left patel rong and the others dazzled; they couldn''t discern the strength of this spirit beast at all!


    a sound like a hiss emanated as the ethereal lotus tugged at blaze regret''s clothes, her jewel like eyes gently blinking with an expectant expression.


    however, no one dared to underestimate this adorable spirit beast. although they couldn''t gauge ethereal lotus''s exact strength, they were certain that even the ice type spirit beast circling above couldn''t compare to this terrifying creature!


    "two lord level spirit beasts," patel rong and jack mana exchanged glances, then shook their heads with wry smiles. the shocks brought by blaze regret, one after another, had finally convinced them completely.


    blaze regret alone was equivalent to two spirit lord master level powerhouses!


    "how could this happen..."


    fire spark''s legs trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned ashen. he finally realized just how foolish his earlier provocations had been. this young man was even more formidable than patel rong and the others combined!


    dangling upside down, qong pear watched blaze regret''s back, feeling his mouth go dry. remembering his earlier threats to blaze regret, his mind spun, and he nearly fainted.


    "always thinking about food."


    lowering his head, blaze regret placed a spirit fruit in ethereal lotus''s hand, then looked up with a gentle smile: "master fire, to prevent anyone from saying i''m bullying you, feel free to choose any one of these four spirit beasts."


    upon hearing this, fire spark''s smile was even more pitiful than a cry. even the weakest of them, the flame cat, was more formidable than his blazing flame flood dragon!


    "then that one," fire spark said, his finger trembling as he pointed to the red.


    "oh?"


    blaze regret smiled, his gaze, softened somewhat, falling on the red: "it seems you''ve been underestimated." sear?h the n?vel_fire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    with a slightly annoyed expression, the red lowered its body briefly before suddenly charging forward. its claws, burning with pale yellow flames, slashed fiercely toward the blazing flame flood dragon, leaving three distinct claw marks in the air with the scorching wind it stirred up.


    "blazing flame flood dragon, flame breath!"


    as the red rushed forward, a look of exhilarated laughter suddenly appeared on fire spark''s face, casting aside his previous facade of fear. this was the moment he had been waiting for!


    the blazing flame flood dragon''s spirit skill, flame breath, could instantly elevate its combat power by one tier!


    originally, fire spark was a wood element spirit master, but upon encountering the blazing flame flood dragon, he abandoned his wood element identity to become a makeshift fire element spirit master.


    all for the sake of the blazing flame flood dragon, which possessed the flame breath spirit skill!


    "a spirit skill, flame breath, is it?" blaze regret chuckled, realizing that this was fire spark''s trump card.


    the blazing flame flood dragon, a sixth tier advanced imperial grade spirit beast, has a pair of massive fiery wings on its back. with a sudden flap, three crimson streams of light swirl around its body. as these streams appear, its aura surges significantly, barely comparable even to a first tier seventh level advanced imperial grade spirit beast.


    "kid, you''re too inexperienced." fire spark sneered inwardly. from what seemed like a certain death situation, he managed to carve out a way to survive, giving him a sense of superiority.


    "hiss!"


    with a gentle tremor of its fiery wings, the blazing flame flood dragon swiftly ascends several meters. its sharp, flame tinged claws sweep across its belly, scattering a few fiery scales.


    looking down at the red, the blazing flame flood dragon''s eyes turn icy. from its open maw, a crimson flame beam suddenly shoots out, piercing through the air, hurtling downward like lightning.


    with a slight squint, the red remains motionless, allowing the formidable flame beam to envelop it from above.


    "boom!"


    the beam crashes down upon the red''s head, rapidly spreading out. the scorching flame energy whirls around the red like a sphere, emitting terrifying waves that make many people twitch at the corners of their eyes.


    even some seventh tier imperial grade spirit beasts would be reduced to ashes under this spiritual technique.


    "die for me!" fire spark''s face twisted with ferocity. if the red perished, he would have a chance to survive.


    as the crimson flame energy sphere gradually dissipates, fire spark''s pupils suddenly contract.


    in the center of the deep pit, the red stands silently, with three faint yellow streams of light swirling around it. the blazing flame flood dragon''s full force attack hadn''t left a single injury on it!


    "flame breath!" fire spark''s face turned extremely grim. he hadn''t expected blae regret''s threr tail sun blaze cat to also possess the flame breath spiritual technique!


    "even without using flame breath, the three tail sun blaze cat could still slay the blazing flame flood dragon, but i really don''t want to waste any more time," blaze regret said calmly.

 Chapter 328 We Meet Again

    "roar!"with a slight bend of its knees, the three tail sun blaze cat leaped into the air, transforming into a blazing fire meteor, charging towards the air borne blazing flame flood dragon like a thunderbolt.


    "dodge!" fire spark shouted urgently.


    with a cold gaze fixed on the approaching blazing flame flood dragon, the three tail sun blaze cat swung its claws continuously. four sharp rings of fire spikes materialized out of thin air, leaving afterimages in the air as they viciously slashed towards the dragon.


    sensing the fierce aura emitted by the fire spike rings, the blazing flame flood dragon quickly descended. instantly, the four rings intersected above it, tearing through the air and leaving visible cracks in their wake.


    barely having time to feel relieved, the blazing flame flood dragon suddenly remembered something, and a deep fear flashed in its eyes. the face of the three tail sun blaze cat abruptly appeared before it.


    "swish!"


    a sharp red light flashed by as the three tail sun blaze cat darted past the side of the blazing flame flood dragon, landing lightly on the ground. its cats claws were tinged with traces of blood.


    "slash!"


    blood sprayed forth, and the left fiery wing of the blazing flame flood dragon split apart from the middle, falling downward. the severed edge was smooth as a mirror.


    "hiss!"


    the dragon let out a painful cry as it plummeted like a kite with a broken string, leaving a long trail of blood in the air from its severed left wing.


    watching the blazing flame flood dragon crash to the ground, fire spark trembled all over. it was a swift and decisive one hit kill!


    "swish!"


    at the moment the blazing flame flood dragon hit the ground, the three tail sun blaze cat leaped up, its sharp right claw engulfed in pale yellow searing flames, piercing fiercely into the dragon''s head. the dreadful wailing that filled the area was instantly silenced.


    "this three tail sun blaze cat is exceptionally strong, both in talent and power," patel rong remarked gravely. although his crimson patterned eagle could also slay the blazing flame flood dragon, doing it as swiftly and cleanly as the three tail sun blaze cat would be quite challenging.


    "roar!"


    withdrawing its right claw from the dragon''s head, three tail sun blaze cat let out a sudden cry. the three flame streams that were swirling around the blazing flame flood dragon merged into one, revolving around its body. although the light appeared dim, its power subtly increased in that moment!


    "flame breath has broken through?" blaze regret was astonished to see the fourth pale yellow stream of light. he hadn''t expected that breaking through the flame breath required absorbing the flame breath technique from other spirit beasts. no wonder there had been no progress with this powerful technique for the three tail sun blaze cat over the years.


    though the enhancement from flame breath would be less significant after reaching the lord level, if it could consolidate a fourth flame stream, it could advance another tier! it''s important to know that each tier difference at the lord level is enormous! sear?h the n?velfire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    cursing bitterly in his mind, fire spark, filled with terror, turned to flee. blaze regret''s strength had left an indelible mark on his heart.


    "swish!"


    without even sparing a glance, blaze regret flicked his wrist. a sharp ice shard blade, glowing with a faint blue light, shot through the air and pierced fire spark''s throat in an instant.


    seeing fire spark fall, qong pear''s terror reached its peak. if he could choose again, he would rather have killed qong pian the moment blaze regret and blaze adam entered the qong family.


    "next, it''s your turn," blaze adam approached qong pear with a sinister grin, his black dagger reflecting a dangerously sharp glint under the sunlight.


    the cold gleam made qong pear''s eyes squint tightly, his soul nearly slipping away as his suspended body struggled wildly.


    "boom!"


    just as blaze adam''s black dagger was about to strike, a vast wave of spiritual power suddenly swept in from the sky. everyone within the inner walls of bloodstone pass paused, staring in horror at the raging tornado sweeping overhead.


    within the pitch black tornado was a massive bat. on its forehead was a clear, transparent mirror like surface, and a thin, peculiar long tail swung behind its body.


    this was the phantom mirror bat, a mid tier imperial grade spirit beast with a dark attribute.


    the energy emanating from this phantom mirror bat had astonishingly reached the eighth tier!


    "whoosh!"


    after circling the top of the qong family estate, the phantom mirror bat slowly came to a halt. its wings flapped, stirring up gusts of wind. standing proudly on its back was an old man in black, and behind him were stun zen and stun inder!


    "you little brat, we meet again."


    gazing down with a sinister look, stun zen fixed his eyes on blaze regret, a deeply malicious smile spreading across his face. beside him, stun inder also looked on with a mocking expression.


    the enormous phantom mirror bat hovered in mid air, emanating a powerful aura that caused many on the ground to feel their breathing slightly obstructed.


    an eighth tier intermediate lord grade spirit beast, this was a realm they could hardly reach!


    "this..." enjoy new chapters from empire


    staring at the massive shadow overhead, patel rong and jack mana were stunned for quite a while before recovering from their shock. their faces showed a hint of concern, as the sudden appearance of the black robed elder was clearly targeting blaze regret.


    "karma, it''s all karma!" qong pear laughed heartily, without needing to think, knowing that blaze regret was certainly in trouble next.


    "shut up."


    a cold glint flashed in blaze adam''s eyes as the dagger in his hand traced an arc, stabbing into qong pear''s throat with a squelch, freezing the smile on his face instantly.


    "young man, were you the one who messed with my five demon hall people?"

 Chapter 329 Greed

    standing on the phantom mirror bat''s back, the black robed elder looked down upon blaze regret condescendingly, his voice rich with accusation."five demon hall?"


    hearing this voice, the surroundings became chaotic, and deep fear appeared in everyone''s eyes. this elder was actually from five demon hall!


    rumor had it that five demon hall had five elders, each incredibly powerful, and their hall lord, mut kui, had even stepped into the half king realm, with a chance to become a true king realm powerhouse in his lifetime!


    "king realm, huh." blaze regret sighed slightly upon hearing the surrounding whispers. a king realm powerhouse was a formidable presence even in the empire''s center. who would have thought that the stun family''s head, stun zen, could be connected to five demon hall?


    "aren''t you going to kneel down and accept your death quickly!" stun inder, with a proud tilt of his chin, loudly berated blaze regret.


    "this matter has nothing to do with brother blaze. if there''s an issue, direct it at my walker family!" walker adam gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the people on the phantom mirror bat''s back.


    blaze regret''s conflict with the stun family was entirely to stand up for the walker family; otherwise, he wouldn''t have drawn such trouble.


    "sigh." walker sin sighed, shaking his head. the walker family had struggled to survive for so long, but was it finally facing its demise?


    "my young friend, the walker family has burdened you." walker sin turned to blaze regret, his voice filled with deep apology.


    hearing this, blaze regret was visibly taken aback. he had always thought this old fellow was just a fair weather friend, never expecting him to show such understanding.


    "heh, the walker family, huh."


    the black robed elder, with his hands behind his back, smiled faintly: "don''t worry, after today, bloodstone pass won''t have this family. it''s surprising that patel rong, swith mark, and star megami couldn''t deal with you even together."


    upon hearing this, patel rong''s body trembled slightly, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, his hand began to shake uncontrollably.


    "so it was you!" patel rong''s eyes burned with anger. no wonder swith mark and star megami, two second tier spirit imperial masters, were willing to lower themselves to come to the patel family. it was all to eliminate him, the head of the patel family.


    "five demon hall has quite the ambition." jack mana''s face darkened. at that moment, he finally realized that the decline of the jack family and the destruction of several other families were all orchestrated by five demon hall from behind the scenes. the immense resources of bloodstone pass had even tempted mut kui, a powerhouse with one foot in the king realm.


    "it seems you''re not entirely foolish." the black robed elder wore a gentle smile as his gaze swept over bloodstone pass. the sight of the buildings and marketplaces made an intense greed appear on his aged face.


    this juicy morsel was finally about to fall into the hands of five demon hall.


    "young man, among these people, i suppose you are the strongest," the black robed elder said with a smile, casting his gaze toward blaze regret.


    blaze regret looked at the black robed elder expressionlessly, letting out a silent sigh in his heart. the eighth tier intermediate lord grade phantom mirror bat was simply beyond his ability to contend with.


    "master magi, after watching the spectacle for so long, are you really going to stand by and watch me get bullied?"


    shifting his gaze slightly, blaze regret looked at the void realm stone at his waist, and a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    "i didn''t expect you to notice."


    the laugh that echoed in his mind brought a warm smile to blaze regret''s handsome face. this voice, long absent, sounded unexpectedly familiar.


    from the moment he emerged from the dark abyss, he sensed signs of master magi awakening. so even with the menacing approach of the phantom mirror bat, his eyes never showed the slightest hint of panic.


    stay updated via empire


    "just an eighth tier spirit lord grade, daring to touch my disciple."


    master magi let out a soft snort. as his figure was about to materialize in front of blaze regret, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and he suddenly withdrew.


    "master magi, what are you doing?" blaze regret was baffled, feeling as though his punch had landed on soft cotton due to master magi''s actions.


    "young one, it''s not yet the right time for me to make an appearance. rest assured, none of you will die today," master magi''s soft, reassuring voice sounded, then fell silent once more.


    "you dare to ignore me!"


    in mid air, the black robed elder glared down at blaze regret, his old face filled with simmering anger. a seventh tier spirit imperial master dared not even bow his head under his pressure, which made him exceedingly furious.


    "old mu, this little brat is quite arrogant. he once said that the insignificant five demon hall means nothing to him," stun zen sneered, adding fuel to the fire.


    upon hearing this, the black robed elder''s expression grew even darker.


    "is that so? then he must be really something!"


    the black robed elder let out a sinister laugh, gently stomping on the phantom mirror bat as he coldly said, "in that case, let''s start with him."


    following the elder''s command, the phantom mirror bat''s wings fluttered lightly, and a vast spiritual power quickly surged towards the smooth mirror on its forehead, making the entire mirror become incredibly profound. s§×ar?h the nov§×lf~ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "swish!"


    with a flash of light from the mirror, a dark energy beam shot out instantly, causing explosions in the air and echoing loudly in everyone''s ears.


    "brother blaze, run!" walker adam gritted his teeth, stepping forward. dragging blaze regret into this mess already made him feel guilty, and if blaze regret lost his life over walker''s family matters, walker adam would live with regret for the rest of his life.

 Chapter 330 Young Master?

    moreover, he might not survive the day himself."you really think you''ve latched onto some big shot? a loser will always be a loser," stun inder sneered, glancing disdainfully at walker adam. after blaze regret''s death, walker adam would be next.


    "get out of the way!"


    blaze regret''s eyes flashed with determination as a blue tortoise shell began rotating in front of walker adam. the hardness of the mystic tortoise armor should be enough to withstand a blow from the phantom mirror bat.


    "boom!"


    however, just as the dark beam swept through the air, a massive wind blade suddenly roared in, shattering the beam to pieces instantly.


    "that was close, looks like we made it just in time."


    the sharp azure wind blade, after shattering the assault of the phantom mirror bats, traced a huge semicircular arc, whistling back and finally hovering above a palm, slowly rotating. sear?h the novel(f~)ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    this sudden scene startled everyone, and soon their astonished gazes converged in the sky.


    there, a handsome young man smiled down below, with a gentle expression on his face.


    with narrowed eyes, the black robed elder gazed at the young man, gradually revealing a look of shock. a drop of cold sweat uncontrollably slid down from his forehead.


    "spirit¡­ spirit sovereign¡­" the black robed elder stammered, struggling to utter a word after a long pause.


    fixating on the young man, blaze regret''s eyes were also slightly shaken. beneath the young man''s feet, a spiraling vortex of spirit energy was rapidly rotating.


    the manifestation of spirit energy as a vortex is a symbol of a spirit sovereign''s power!


    when a spirit master reaches the level of spirit sovereign, they can gather the spirit energy within their body beneath their feet, enabling them to float in the air. even the spirit beasts within their spirit portals can achieve this.


    the term "spirit sovereign," heavy with meaning, left everyone present momentarily stunned.


    it is known that spirit king realm experts are already rare to encounter, let alone the even more powerful realm of spirit sovereigns!


    "senior, i don''t know where i have offended you," the black robed elder came back to his senses and quickly bowed, cupping his hands in respect towards the young man.


    although there was a significant age gap between them, making it seem somewhat ridiculous for the elder to address him as "senior," no one present showed any signs of mockery.


    strength commands respect; this is almost a consensus in the entire spirit master community.


    "you have not offended me."


    the young man''s gentle laughter allowed the black robed elder to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next words quickly made his heart leap with tension: "however, you almost killed the young sect master of the jue emperor sect."


    "the... young sect master of the jue emperor sect?"


    the black robed elder lifted his head, hastily explaining, "senior, i have been staying in the five demon hall all along, and today is my first time out. there must be some misunderstanding between us."


    "hehe."


    the young man chuckled softly. suddenly, the space behind him twisted, and dozens of figures with indifferent expressions appeared abruptly. behind each of them were large, magnificent wings that flapped elegantly.


    "spirit king!"


    this visually impactful scene drew the attention of all the spirit masters at bloodstone pass. from afar, dozens of colorful beams stood between heaven and earth, dazzlingly brilliant.


    feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the sky, blaze regret''s mouth went dry. even in the entire sun moon empire, there were only about a few dozen spirit king experts. no wonder master magi always said that the world he was encountering was incredibly small.


    "wait, are they from the jue emperor sect?" blaze regret''s heart stirred, and he cast a gaze full of surprise and doubt towards walker adam.


    could it be that the young sect master the man spoke of was him?


    "divine eye technique, ah. it''s been years since anyone successfully cultivated this spiritual art in the jue emperor sect."


    the young man hovered in the air and sighed softly. then, his gaze, still carrying a smile, shifted to walker adam: "forgive my impudence, but could you possibly demonstrate your spiritual art?"


    somewhat entranced, walker adam nodded almost reflexively. a crack appeared on his forehead, and a vertical eye of purple and crimson hues emerged from within the fissure.


    "it truly is the divine eye technique!"


    when the dozens of indifferent spirit king experts saw the vertical eye between walker adam''s forehead, their eyes immediately filled with intense joy, and the spiritual energy in the world seemed to ripple at that moment.


    "young sect master!"


    the young man''s eyes quivered slightly, and he immediately bowed respectfully. the spirit king experts behind him quickly followed suit. this scene left everyone at bloodstone pass in a state of shock.


    the weakest among them was a spirit king expert, not to mention there was also a spirit sovereign. yet, they were showing such great respect to a mere member of the walker family?

    "this is impossible!" stun inder''s face lost its color. she slapped her cheeks hard, only to be horrified to find that this was not a dream.


    "have you mistaken me for someone else?" walker adam''s mind was in a daze. as the person involved, he was just as shocked as anyone else.


    "of course not."


    the young man lifted his head and smiled softly, "the jue emperor sect has a tradition: anyone who successfully cultivates the divine eye technique is automatically appointed as the young sect master. this position has been vacant for many years."


    "but my walker family has been rooted in bloodstone pass for a long time and has no connection with the jue emperor sect," walker adam thought, though he was pleasantly surprised. still, he remained cautious, as a misunderstanding could lead to a significant predicament.


    "in truth, this is an oversight of the jue emperor sect."


    the young man''s smile gradually faded, replaced by a hint of bitternes s.

 Chapter 331 Wrongful Judgment

    your next read awaits at empire"several hundred years ago, due to a wrongful judgment within the sect, the fourth elder walker shafik was unjustly expelled and had his spirit portal abolished. elder walker shafik, broken and desolate, came to bloodstone pass, which led to the establishment of the walker family."


    "i see." walker adam was silent, realizing why the walker family genealogy could only be traced back four generations.


    "this is all a misunderstanding, senior. if there''s nothing else, i shall take my leave," the black robed elder said, his scalp tingling with fear as he now realized the caliber of people he had offended.


    behind him, stun zen and stun inder were also filled with fear. the seemingly insignificant walker family actually had such a formidable power supporting them. had they known this earlier, they wouldn''t have dared to make a move against the walker family, even if they had been given more courage.


    "do you think you can come and go as you please? it''s not that simple."


    the young man''s face turned slightly indifferent, and his cold voice emanated from his mouth: "walker kandi."


    "swish!"


    as his words fell, the spirit king expert named walker kandi behind him slowly raised his palm. a faint purple spiritual array appeared in front of him, and then a purple shadow shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.


    "get out of here!"


    sensing the powerful aura whistling towards them, the black robed elder was terrified. without a second thought, he jumped off the back of the phantom mirror bat, just as the purple shadow landed on its back.


    "swish!"


    with only a momentary pause, the purple shadow began to weave around the phantom mirror bat, creating sharp purple beams that rapidly flickered, forming a dazzling net of light. s§×arch* the n?vel(f)ire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    as they watched the net of light, the black robed elder and his companions, who had landed on the ground, were struck with terror and lost their color.


    a purple shadow darted around the phantom mirror bat at a dizzying speed. moments later, it flashed in front of the phantom mirror bat, revealing its true appearance to everyone. it was a spirit beast resembling a cat, with soft fur and enchanting emerald green eyes. its arms were slender and extraordinarily long, ending in razor sharp claws that gleamed with a chilling light.


    "swish!"


    as the cat like spirit beast departed, the phantom mirror bat with its black wings suddenly shrank its pupils. with a squelch, its flesh burst apart, and the clear mirror on its forehead cracked, shattering into countless dazzling fragments.


    in the sky, the massive body of the phantom mirror bat was reduced to nothing but a snow white skeleton! and not a trace of blood remained on those bones!


    "boom!"


    with the return of the purple spirit beast, the gleaming white bones fell to the ground, creating a deep pit and raising a cloud of dust.


    "how could this be?" stun inder trembled. in her heart, the phantom mirror bat was an extremely powerful spirit beast, yet in a mere instant, it was stripped down to bare bones.


    "go forth!"


    smiling at the black robed elder and his companions, the young man flicked his fingers, sending the azure wind blade shooting forth. it first slashed across stun inder''s chest, whose face was filled with terror, then spun around, splitting stun zen and the black robed elder''s bodies apart.


    "hmm?"


    catching the returning wind blade, a trace of surprise crossed the young man''s face. he glanced into the distance, then moved to stand before walker adam, saying with a smile.


    "young master, let''s head back. the commotion here seems to have attracted the attention of the sun moon empire''s experts. although the jue emperor sect isn''t afraid of trouble, the sect master has instructed us to keep a low profile whenever possible."


    "oh, by the way, my name is walker kelur," the young man added with a smile.


    walker adam''s throat moved slightly as he swallowed, his mind still feeling somewhat blank. although he had heard of such scenarios before, experiencing it firsthand felt rather surreal.


    looking at walker adam standing there, the people of bloodstone pass were filled with envy. even without knowing the exact role that the jue emperor sect played on the continent, the formidable lineup of walker kelur and his companions suggested it was undoubtedly a colossal force.


    "brother blaze, would you join me?" walker adam suddenly turned around, looking at blaze regret with anticipation.


    when walker adam extended the invitation, the gazes directed toward blaze regret were immediately filled with undisguised jealousy. why hadn''t such a good opportunity come their way?


    "by the way, elder mo once mentioned that if you are willing to come to the jue emperor sect, you can receive the same cultivation resources as i do," walker kelur said with a smile, looking at blaze regret. his tone was devoid of the arrogance typical of a prominent sect, instead exuding a gentle warmth.


    as soon as walker kelur spoke, the faces of the dozens of spirit king realm experts in the sky changed instantly. they knew all too well how abundant walker kelur''s cultivation resources were, resources he had earned through relentless struggle and battle.


    however, to everyone''s surprise, blaze regret merely smiled and then shook his head slightly.


    "thank you for your kind offer, but i prefer to train on my own."


    upon hearing this, walker adam''s expression showed some regret, while walker kelur, beside him, had a gleam of approval in his eyes. it was rare to find someone who could resist such a great temptation.


    "hmm?"


    raising his eyebrows slightly, walker kelur cast a curious gaze towards the top of a distant building, where a young man in white stood quietly watching them. his long black hair danced in the wind, and though it wasn''t raining, he held a white umbrella in his hand.


    "what a powerful aura."


    gazing at this individual, walker kelur felt a sudden chill in his heart, an inexplicable sense of danger. it was a sensation he rarely experienced since ascending to the spirit sovereign level.

 Chapter 332 Will Meet Again

    from the man''s eyes, walker kelur perceived a hint of warning."young master, the experts from the sun moon empire have arrived."


    with a wave of his sleeve, walker kelur conjured a beautiful white wind crane next to walker adam. the crane flapped its wings, and a swirling azure wind lifted walker adam and his companions, settling them on the crane''s back.


    "train well at the jue emperor sect. perhaps we''ll have the chance to meet again in the future," blaze regret said with a smile, looking at walker adam on the crane''s back.


    he felt a strong affinity for this young man, seeing much of his own past self in him, particularly from the time before he left velorian city.


    who knows how many years from now, how walker adam''s mindset might change?


    "do you have any token, senior?" walker adam asked eagerly, looking at walker kelur.


    "i don''t deserve such a title; just call me by my name."


    walker kelur nearly broke into a cold sweat and quickly retrieved a token from the void realms stone, tossing it to blaze regret with a smile.


    "this is the jue emperor order of our jue emperor sect. by crushing it, you can request the assistance of one of our elders at any time and place. consider it a token of gratitude for looking after the young master during this period."


    after speaking, walker kelur cast a wary glance into the distance. a fierce wind swept through, and the white wind crane soared into the sky, followed closely by the dozens of spirit king experts.


    holding the jue emperor order, blaze regret couldn''t help but chuckle. it turned out this token was identical to the one walker adam had. if the latter had known its use earlier, many subsequent events might not have occurred.


    even walker kelur, a spirit sovereign, treated elder mo of the jue emperor sect with great respect. this suggested that the elders of the jue emperor sect were likely powerful beings surpassing the spirit sovereign level.


    contemplating this possibility, blaze regret felt a bit dazed. such formidable individuals should be able to easily sweep away the kartis family at the center of the empire.


    storing the jue emperor order in the void realms stone, blaze regret seemed to sense something, suddenly looking into the distance. there, standing elegantly atop a building, was kartis wave, his face wearing a serene and extremely comforting smile.


    "once you''re done with everything, come to the pure water pavilion."


    a voice, as faint as a mosquito''s buzz, reached his ears. blaze regret nodded slightly, and that white figure slowly faded away, as if it had never been there.


    "blaze regret, my young friend, without a spirit lord expert, bloodstone pass will face tough times ahead," patel rong approached blaze regret with a heavy tone.


    in the past, silver lucas''s presence had kept the surrounding spirit lord experts at bay, preventing them from making rash moves. but once he was gone, bloodstone pass, as a valuable asset, would surely become a target for many eager individuals.


    "don''t worry, leave it to me," blaze regret replied calmly, withdrawing his gaze. his slightly narrowed eyes then shifted towards the distance, "before anything else, we need to deal with the major threat of the five demons hall."


    when patel rong and jack mana heard the murmured words coming from blaze regret''s mouth, they were momentarily stunned. their expressions changed drastically as they suddenly remembered that the greatest threat was still the five demon hall!


    compared to the five demon hall, the spirit masters from the surrounding towns were insignificant. mut kui, a ninth tier spirit lord master, could easily sweep them all away single handedly! sea??h th§× n??efire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    perhaps realizing their loss of composure, patel rong and jack mana quickly concealed their unease and turned their probing gazes toward blaze regret. as old foxes who had been through the mill at bloodstone pass for a long time, they naturally knew who should now take the lead.


    "blaze regret, my young friend, that mut kui is a ninth tier spirit lord master," patel rong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up.


    "leave it to me," blaze regret replied calmly.


    hearing blaze regret''s assurance, patel rong and jack mana breathed a sigh of relief. no matter what, they had no choice but to trust blaze regret now, as both of them were still some distance away from the spirit lord master level.


    "blaze regret, are you planning to go to five demon hall?" blaze wahab and blaze adam walked over with solemn expressions. that place was one even some spirit lord master level experts dared not tread lightly.


    "don''t worry, i have my own trump cards."


    blaze regret smiled, and then his cold eyes swept over the crowd, causing a few spirit masters with panicked expressions to quickly retreat to the back.


    these people were the ones who had previously pressured blaze regret and blaze adam to spare the qong pear brothers with their words. at that time, they had spoken eloquently, completely disregarding blaze adam''s feelings. after all, the deceased had nothing to do with them, and they could even gain favor with the qong pear brothers. why not?


    but now, they were finally afraid.


    "elder, i remember that the blood seal gate''s business at bloodstone pass involves mining the original world stone vein, right?" blaze regret''s voice, tinged with a certain coldness, sounded slowly. discover exclusive tales on empire


    "that''s right," blaze wahab nodded.


    the original world stone is one of the important materials for crafting void realm stones. on average, it takes thirty original world stones to extract the materials needed to refine one void realm stone. even so, the blood seal gate has been making huge profits in recent years.


    simply because the price of space stones is exceedingly expensive.


    such a vein naturally becomes the object of desire for many forces.


    several years ago, the major families of bloodstone pass fought countless battles over this vein until the blood seal gate emerged as the dominant power, finally securing ownership of the original world stone vein.

 Chapter 333 Angry

    "then throw these people into the original world stone vein and let them stay there forever, mining original world stones every day. as for the management of the vein, leave it to blaze adam,"blaze regret said indifferently, deciding the ownership of the world stone vein with just one sentence.


    patel rong and jack mana could only smile bitterly in their hearts. if blaze regret could solve the trouble over at five demon hall, then bloodstone pass might just end up under the blaze family''s control.


    "no problem," blaze adam replied with a grim smile, slowly approaching those individuals.


    seeing blaze adam approach, those people turned pale, filled with endless regret and fear. from now on, they would likely never see the sunlight outside again.


    five demon hall is located to the southwest of bloodstone pass.


    the average journey from bloodstone pass takes about three days. this considerable distance has led most people within the pass to completely forget the existence of this force.


    standing at the foot of the mountain, staring at the gate of five demon hall with slightly narrowed eyes, a chill swept across blaze regret''s heart.


    if not for having many trump cards, he would have long been wiped out by the old man in the black robe and his phantom mirror bats. moreover, given five demon hall''s ruthless nature, even the blaze family far away in velorian city would undoubtedly be implicated.


    "how dare you! do you know what place this is?" find your next read at empire


    seeing the silhouette of a stranger approaching, several disciples of five demon hall immediately surrounded him with hostile expressions, their faces adorned with an arrogant and cold demeanor.


    however, blaze regret didn''t bother to acknowledge them as he walked right past them. these insignificant characters were beneath his notice, and he had no interest in dealing with them.

    being so blatantly ignored, anger immediately appeared on the faces of those disciples. each one had spiritual power surging in their hands as they viciously struck towards the back of blaze regret''s head.


    "get down!"


    turning his head slightly, blaze regret stomped his foot on the ground, his sharp voice resonating. a powerful spiritual pressure descended like a mountain, forcing those individuals to fall heavily to the ground.


    these disciples were merely third tier spirit warrior master. to act against blaze regret was purely an act of self humiliation.


    "this five demon hall is quite a challenge to ascend."


    looking up at the winding mountain path, blaze regret smirked coldly to himself. the entire path was heavily guarded by countless disciples, making it a place easy to defend but difficult to attack.


    if one were to attempt to approach with a flying spirit beast, they would likely be riddled with holes by the overwhelming barrage of attacks before even getting close.


    "little one, going up this way is too slow; let me help you," master magi chuckled. a wisp of golden light circled around blaze regret and then transformed into a brilliant light shield, lifting him gently into the air.


    the light shield was quite peculiar, appearing completely transparent from the outside, nearly invisible. unless a powerhouse of the spirit celestical realm was personally present, no one would notice that there was a spirit master inside.


    "crack!"


    the light shield opened up in front of the mid mountain gate, an area that seemed deserted with no one guarding it, indicating that it was likely the core of the entire five demon hall.


    taking a few steps forward, blaze regret scanned the area with his gaze and suddenly froze in place. a surge of fury gradually rose within him.


    from inside the door, a rough, mocking voice echoed.


    "sure enough, you''re a lowlife from a backwater place, not even knowing about my five demon hall. if you obediently submit to me, mut yin, you''ll be allowed to run rampant for a thousand miles around, and your father could even become the master of a town."


    after speaking, the burly man named mut yin approached a young girl with a sinister smile, holding a long whip made from intertwined vines.


    the girl''s face was filled with despair, her silver teeth biting down on her red lips, displaying an unyielding spirit.


    this girl was none other than yun suhaila!


    "if you obediently submit to me, you can avoid some physical pain."


    mut yin grinned widely, laughing heartily. "of course, the more you resist, the better. i do enjoy hearing the pitiful cries of young girls."


    staring at mut yin''s ugly face, yun suhaila''s beautiful eyes trembled continuously. at that moment, the image of a young man suddenly surfaced in her mind, though it was nothing more than a distant hope.


    "whoosh!"


    at that moment, mut yin''s whip lashed down mercilessly, the sharp sound of it cutting through the air was piercing and harsh.


    the unyieldingly tough whip, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it sliced through the air, swung down mercilessly. at the same time, a sinister smile appeared on mut yin''s lips.


    countless young girls had met their demise under his whip. his perverse hobby caused all the women around the five demon halls to tremble in fear.


    "crack!"


    the whip descended, and yun suhaila''s delicate body shivered with closed eyes. however, the expected intense pain did not follow. puzzled, she opened her eyes.


    what she saw was a slender hand firmly gripping mut yin''s whip, and beneath that hand was the clean, youthful face of a young man.


    her breath caught slightly, and as if she couldn''t believe it, yun suhaila reached out with a trembling hand to cautiously grasp the young man''s black robe.


    the solid feel transmitted through her hand caused her eyes to mist over immediately. the grievances she had endured during this time finally erupted uncontrollably.


    glancing at the scars on yun suhaila''s hand, blaze regret''s eyes surged with anger. this mut yin was indeed ruthless. it seemed he had committed such beastly acts quite frequently over the years.

 Chapter 334 Furios

    "who are you?" mut yin looked at blaze regret below, his brows slightly furrowed. this young man had managed to sneak in here without a sound, indicating he was quite skilled.find exclusive stories on empire


    "the one who will send you on your way!"


    a glint of gold flickered in blaze regret''s eyes as a violent killing intent erupted from him. he lifted his foot, delivering a powerful whip like kick that swept out like lightning.


    "boom!"


    suffering such a heavy blow, mut yin''s whip was flung into the air, while his body was sent flying backward. he staggered dozens of steps before barely managing to stabilize himself.


    "who are you really?" mut yin was shocked and horrified. although he ranked last among the five elders of the five demon halls, he still possessed the strength of a fourth tier spirit lord master. how could he be swept away by a mere seventh tier spirit imperial master using brute force alone?


    reaching out to catch the falling whip, blaze regret''s eyes glimmered with a golden light. upon entering the mountain gate, master magi had cast a secret technique on him, allowing his body''s strength to temporarily rival that of a third tier lord grade spirit beast. this power was more than enough to suppress mut yin decisively.


    "no matter who you are, today you''ll stay here!" mut yin gritted his teeth, quickly sketching a verdant green spirit array in front of him. a surging force began to ripple outward from it.


    "crack!"


    however, just as the spirit array was halfway complete, the whip in blaze regret''s hand mercilessly lashed down. the force contained within the whip left a bloody mark across mut yin''s face.


    in an instant, the spirit array wavered unsteadily, finally shattering with a crisp crack.


    "isn''t this fun?" blaze regret sneered coldly, the whip in his hand thrashing like a rampaging spirit snake, repeatedly striking mut yin. each lash drew a line of blood.


    "stop it!" mut yin rolled on the ground in agony, the pain he felt threatening to make him faint.


    covering her chest with a delicate hand, yun suhaila looked at the young man''s now more mature face, feeling an inexplicable sense of peace. it was as if nothing was unsolvable with him around.


    "i''m the fifth elder of the five demon halls! when big brother mut kui returns, he''ll take your life!"


    his mouth twitched painfully as mut yin cursed furiously. he had always been the one wielding the whip against others, never having been treated like this himself. the humiliation he felt was overwhelming.


    "isn''t this the feeling you enjoy?" s§×arch* the novel?ire(.)ne*t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    blaze regret''s lips curled into a mocking smile, and the ethereal figure of ling luo appeared beside him. her adorable appearance left yun suhaila momentarily stunned.


    "don''t ask for food yet; finish the task at hand first."


    upon hearing blaze regret''s deep voice, ling luo playfully stuck out her little tongue. then, with a flick of her wrist, a long verdant vine shot out, hoisting mut yin''s body upside down.


    "you fool, do you even know what you''re doing?" mut yin twisted his body, cursing angrily.


    "i know far better than you do," blaze regret replied coldly. the sharp gaze of the young man sent a shiver through mut yin''s heart.


    it felt as if he were being watched by a relentless wolf.


    halfway up the five demon halls:


    "that girl just now was quite the catch. i bet elder mut yin is at it with his games again," one of the disciples of the five demon halls said with a sly grin.


    "such a beastly man, yet he''s somehow become a spirit lord master. heaven must be blind," scoffed an eighth tier spirit imperial master standing beside him.


    "shh, it''s fine for us to say such things among ourselves, but don''t let anyone else hear, or we might lose our lives!" the first speaker gestured frantically.


    "hey, it looks like something''s coming out of the main hall."


    as this was said, the eyes of the disciples turned in unison, their expressions changing drastically. the entire five demon halls erupted into chaos.


    a long verdant vine was hanging in mid air, and tied to it was none other than their fifth elder, mut yin!


    with fear gripping him, mut yin glanced at the heights from which he dangled. his scalp tingled as he turned to blaze regret, shouting desperately, "i''ll give you whatever you want, including that girl from earlier. if that''s not enough, i can go to the surrounding towns and bring you dozens no, hundreds more!"


    hearing this, blaze regret''s expression grew even darker.


    "ling luo, i don''t care how you do it, but beat him for an hour. i''ll give you ten spirit fruits afterward," blaze regret''s voice, laced with a trace of murderous intent, echoed against the howling cold wind.


    ling luo''s eyes widened slightly as she nodded eagerly. her complete food loving demeanor left red, perched on blaze regret''s shoulder, utterly speechless.


    "crack!"


    in an instant, the crisp sound of the whip cracking mixed with agonizing screams echoed through the mountainside of the five demon halls. the thorns on ling luo''s vine whip were incredibly sharp, and each lash inflicted pain akin to the bone breaking agony of snapping a finger.


    "blaze regret, the master of the five demon halls is a ninth tier spirit lord master," yun suhaila said softly, biting her red lip with some apprehension in her voice.


    "even if a spirit sovereign came today, they wouldn''t leave this mountain unharmed," blaze regret''s icy voice carried an undeniable determination.


    hearing this, a slight blush rose on yun suhaila''s cheeks. such a domineering voice was unexpectedly pleasant to her ears.


    "crack!"


    as ling luo''s vine whip lashed down, mut yin''s flesh splattered. the pain was so excruciating that he wished for death. yet, to his despair, the whip contained healing properties that quickly mended his torn flesh.


    this heart wrenching, layered pain was something no one would ever want to endure a second time.

 Chapter 335 Dont Qualify

    "you don''t qualify to play rough," blaze regret scoffed coldly, then looked toward the distance.mut kui, after all this time, you should be arriving soon.


    the crisp sound of a whip echoed across the mountainside, causing all the disciples of the five demon hall to exchange glances without one daring to rush forward and fight blaze regret. even a fourth tier spirit lord master had been easily beaten, let alone them. if they took even a single step, they feared they would be instantly obliterated.


    the intense pain coursing through his body nearly drove mut yin to collapse. for the first time in his life, he loathed the vine whip.


    "whoosh!"


    at this moment, three long trails of dust were drawn at the foot of the mountain. from them emerged a middle aged man exuding a terrifying aura. his face, shadowed and grim, lifted as his chilling voice resounded through the heavens and earth.


    "who dares to run wild on my five demon hall?"


    upon seeing this man appear, the disciples of the five demon hall seemed as if they had glimpsed hope. their eyes lit up, and excited shouts erupted thunderously.


    this middle aged man was none other than mut kui!


    following him, two more elders emerged. they were the only remaining elders of the five demon hall, though their expressions were extremely cold.


    "big brother, save me!"


    mut yin, who was hanging upside down, seemed to have a moment of revival. his face lit up with joy as he twisted his body. but as he moved, the thorns on the ethereal vine tore several gashes into his body.


    "i give you three breaths to release mut yin. otherwise, no matter where you come from, your people will meet a tragic end on the streets tonight," mut kui said, his hands clasped behind his back, coldly staring at blaze regret.


    "is that so," blaze regret replied with a faint smile. "sounds quite intimidating. in that case, i suppose i must respectfully comply."


    her jewel like dark eyes blinked gently, and the ethereal vine suddenly released its grip. mut yin''s body plummeted like a bird with broken wings, screaming as he fell.


    "black crocodile of the water!"


    seeing mut yin''s body falling, mut kui was first stunned, then an intense murderous intent erupted in his eyes. a surge of murky black water shot skyward, attempting to catch mut yin''s body.


    witnessing this scene, yun suhaila''s pretty face turned pale. no matter what, mut yin''s hideous face would leave an indelible shadow in her heart.


    "swish!"


    just as the wave was about to catch mut yin, a dense array of emerald green vines suddenly shot down with a fierce whooshing force, piercing through the elated mut yin.


    "hmph!"


    with a slight pout, the ethereal vine''s sharp emerald tendrils swiftly retracted, disappearing into its palm.


    "who are you really?"


    mut yin''s body fell into the murky wave, instantly mixing with streaks of crimson. mut kui''s furious roar echoed like thunder in all directions.


    "what a scene, all this shouting and yelling."


    a flash of golden light appeared beside blaze regret, and master magi''s smiling figure suddenly emerged, causing yun suhaila to gasp in surprise and cover her red lips with her delicate hand.


    this person wasn''t here just a moment ago.


    at this moment, master magi''s appearance was no different from an ordinary spirit master, except for his hair, which was a healthy snow white color. coupled with his wrinkle free face, he exuded an aura that was both ethereal and sage like. sea??h th§× novel(f~)ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "master magi, has your strength recovered?" blaze regret asked in surprise.


    "not quite yet, but handling a small fry like this is more than sufficient."


    smiling, master magi cast his gaze downward, extending his hand. around mut kui, dazzling golden characters began to shimmer and spin rapidly. in the next instant, mut kui''s body was suddenly transported to the front of the mountain gate.


    explore more stories at empire


    "what''s happening!"


    it wasn''t just mut kui; even the two elders of the five demon hall below shouted in alarm and fear.


    "you''re really too noisy."


    master magi frowned in displeasure and waved his hand, saying softly, "a mere ninth tier spirit lord master dares to threaten my disciple? you should speak while kneeling."


    with the wave of master magi''s hand, mut kui felt as if a mountain weighing ten thousand pounds suddenly crashed onto his back, forcing his knees to hit the ground with a thud.


    kneeling with his head slightly bowed, mut kui''s face was filled with shock. in the face of this power, he couldn''t even muster a single thought of resistance. it was unheard of even for a strong spirit master of the spirit core level to be this powerful.


    what mut kui didn''t know was that master magi was not human, and ordinary measures of strength simply didn''t apply to him.


    nonetheless, his heart was overwhelmed with a tidal wave of fear.


    "senior, if i have offended you in any way, i, mut kui, offer my apologies here and now." gritting his teeth, mut kui slammed his forehead against the ground. the stronger one becomes, the more they cherish their life, especially when he was just a step away from becoming an ultimate spirit king master.


    "such thick skin."


    master magi paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. his eyes gradually grew indifferent as he said, "little one, whether you want to kill or spare him, it''s up to you."


    upon hearing this, mut kui, who was kneeling on the ground, began to tremble violently. a profound sense of despair filled his heart.


    could it really be the end for him?


    he couldn''t help but feel a deep sense of unwillingness.


    "a ninth tier spirit lord master is too much of a threat. it''s best to kill him," blaze regret''s cold voice rang out, causing mut kui''s body to collapse in resignation. he knew that the boy''s words largely represented the old man''s will.

 Chapter 336 Negotiation

    "oh, then kill him," master magi said nonchalantly, spreading his hand. the golden ripples emanating from it made mut kui''s heart leap into his throat.it''s over...


    at that moment, the words echoed repeatedly in mut kui''s mind.


    "however, the blaze family could use an enforcer. a ninth tier spirit lord master might just suffice," blaze regret mused, his fingers lightly rubbing his chin.


    suddenly, a flicker of hope lit up mut kui''s eyes, and his breathing became heavier. with urgency in his voice, he said, "young friend, i am willing to serve like a loyal dog or horse, only hoping that the previous incident can be forgiven."


    "hmph."


    with a light snort, blaze regret turned away, looking down indifferently at the foot of the five demon hall. "that will depend on your performance."


    "yes!" mut kui responded repeatedly, letting out a long breath of relief in his heart. it was only after narrowly escaping death that he realized his back was completely soaked with sweat.


    a thousand feet away, atop a towering peak. stay tuned with empire


    the piercing cold wind howled past the summit, causing a figure in white robes to drift gently. the young man''s handsome face was as calm as still water, betraying no emotion.


    "the book of nine nether ink, it''s truly you."


    after a moment, a voice murmured softly, belonging to kartis wave. there was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "blaze ash, oh blaze ash, what exactly do you want? you could have destroyed him, so why did you seal his incomplete body in a cave near velorian city?"


    the sound of his sigh dissipated with the wind as kartis wave''s grip on the paper umbrella tightened slightly.


    "hmm?"


    as if sensing something, master magi, standing beside blaze regret, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as calm as an ancient well, sweeping toward the distance.


    for a moment, the two locked eyes silently.


    in the sky, snowflakes gently fell, landing in blaze regret''s palm and melting into a cold puddle.


    "it''s snowing."


    lifting his head, a faint smile emerged on blaze regret''s face.


    perhaps, the true sun moon empire was about to reveal itself before his eyes.


    bloodstone pass.


    as the central location of several towns, this vast area gradually returned to peace after the riots of the past few days. the streets were still bustling with people.


    however, beneath this calm surface, endless undercurrents were surging.


    on the south side of bloodstone pass, at the entrance to the primordial stone mine.


    dozens of figures stood divided on both sides. on one side was the top force of bloodstone pass, led by blaze wahab and including patel rong, jack mana, and others. on the other side were two middle aged men, whose appearances were extremely unfamiliar, with seemingly amiable smiles on their faces.


    these two men were lut sinar, the head of the lut family from hatyai city, and solar teng, also from hatyai city. both had the strength of sixth level spirit lord masters. s§×arch* the novelfire.net* website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "head of the lut family, isn''t it a bit too much to take advantage of the situation?" blaze wahab''s gaze was slightly cold. lut sinar had the audacity to demand a 40% share of the entire primordial stone mine, which was simply outrageous.


    "forty percent is indeed a bit much."


    lut sinar smiled and looked at solar teng: "you see, don''t push people too far. if our lut family wants 40%, that''s one thing, but your solar family actually wants 50%. how about i also ask for 50%?"


    as soon as he said this, both lut sinar and solar teng burst into laughter. previously, with silver lucas around, they might have been cautious, but now bloodstone pass was nothing but a juicy piece of meat.


    and one that couldn''t resist, at that.


    their wanton laughter echoed in the ears of blaze wahab and the others, whose expressions gradually turned grim. it was clear that lut sinar and solar teng were simply toying with them.


    it seemed they were determined to obtain the primordial stone mine.


    "have your people withdraw from the mine entirely. from today onwards, we will take over the primordial stone mine. moreover, everyone in bloodstone pass must pay us 50% of their income in the future. that''s the decision." solar teng waved his hand, speaking casually.


    "fifty percent?"


    upon hearing this, everyone was filled with anger. lut sinar and solar teng were completely disregarding them as humans. with their actions, how was bloodstone pass any different from a slave camp now?


    "what, you don''t agree?" lut sinar sneered, spreading his palm towards an enraged member of the patel family. suddenly, a powerful suction force erupted from his palm, instantly pulling the person over.


    "boom!"


    grabbing the man''s head, lut sinar''s hand squeezed lightly, and his head burst open like a watermelon, a thin mist of blood filling the air.


    the atmosphere in the scene froze instantly.


    "just a bunch of ants." lut sinar chuckled, shaking his hand as the broken corpse in his grasp traced a parabola, slamming heavily against the mountain wall before sliding down powerlessly.


    "patel zong!"


    seeing a member of his clan killed, patel rong''s eyes flashed with grief and fury as he looked at lut sinar in anger: "don''t go too far. in bloodstone pass, we have warriors who can match a spirit lord master!"


    naturally, he was referring to blaze regret.


    "so what?" lut sinar crossed his arms, a smirk on his face. not that he believed it, but even if it were true, what could they do about it? at worst, he would just kill them.


    with his strength, combined with the solar family, even some of the larger families would have to weigh their options carefully.


    "why waste words with them?"


    solar teng''s sinister eyes scanned the crowd and then settled on blaze adam, from whom a chilling sneer emerged: "this mine is under your management, right? let''s start with you and clean out everyone below."

    with that, solar teng opened his palm, and a crimson spiritual power spread from his palm, creating a scorching gust of wind as he swung it fiercely towards blaze adam''s head.if this strike landed, blaze adam''s death would be no less gruesome than the previous patel zong.


    "stop!"


    just as solar teng''s palm was about to strike, an enraged elderly figure swiftly dashed over, with a dark green light flashing in front of him, colliding forcefully with solar teng''s hand.


    "boom!"


    a dull thud echoed, and blaze wahab''s figure was directly sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground. a mouthful of fresh blood spewed from his mouth, scattering in droplets across the ground.


    "buzz!"


    in front of him, a dark green tortoise shell trembled incessantly, and only after a while did the vibrations begin to slow down.


    "good thing i have this."


    wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, blaze wahab''s face was ashen. if it weren''t for blaze regret giving him the mystic tortoise spirit armor before leaving, that palm from solar teng would have likely dismantled his old bones.


    "solar teng, you''re quite useless, aren''t you?"


    lut sinar smirked mockingly, then tapped his toe on the ground. instantly, a row of sharp, unyielding rock spikes burst forth from the earth, continuously extending toward blaze wahab. sea??h th§× n?velfire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the tips of the rock spikes glimmered like sharp, cold stars.


    "whoosh!"


    at that moment, a fierce black water spear suddenly shot down from the sky, piercing through lut sinar''s body like lightning, crashing into the ground, and exploding into a deep crater.


    the advancing rock spikes also abruptly halted just three inches from blaze wahab''s body.


    with a somewhat stiff expression, lut sinar looked down in disbelief. a huge, gaping blood hole appeared in his abdomen, looking particularly horrifying.


    "boom!"


    in the next moment, lut sinar''s body collapsed to the ground, and even as his last breath faded, he never understood the reason for his demise.


    "who is it!"


    solar teng''s face changed dramatically, filled with terror as he looked towards the sky. there, a black water crocodile was staring at him coldly, and on its back stood mut kui, wearing a sinister expression.


    "coming to bloodstone pass to cause trouble? you must be tired of living." mut kui sneered viciously, and the black water crocodile under his feet shot down like a watery missile, biting solar teng in one swift move.


    "crack!"


    experience tales at empire


    a crisp sound echoed, and the light of fear in solar teng''s eyes gradually dimmed. his body had already been bitten in half by the black water crocodile.


    "mut kui!"


    seeing the figure on the black water crocodile, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. especially blaze wahab and his group, whose expressions turned grim. they were well aware that blaze regret had gone to the five demon hall a few days ago, and the sudden appearance of mut kui now gave rise to an ominous feeling in their hearts.


    "may i ask which one of you is elder blaze wahab?"


    sensing the oppressive atmosphere around him, mut kui hesitated for a moment before clasping his hands together respectfully, cautiously asking. his demeanor was as respectful as a child meeting an elder.


    with these words, everyone in the scene was taken aback, and then a series of incredulous glances were directed towards blaze wahab.


    for a moment, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.


    standing in front of the pure water pavilion, blaze regret exhaled gently, then stepped forward and walked inside. it seemed that he would soon learn some hidden secrets.


    inside the pure water pavilion, a familiar faint sandalwood fragrance lingered. kartis wave, sitting behind the counter, was diligently recording the sales of spiritual medicine in the store. his gentle demeanor made it hard to imagine that he was once a formidable figure who dominated the entire empire.


    "is everything arranged?"


    putting down the brush in his hand, kartis wave smiled softly as he looked up. his enchanting and handsome face could easily captivate many young girls outside.


    blaze regret, with his lips lightly pressed together, nodded slightly. before leaving the five demon hall, he had already arranged everything.


    yun suhaila and yun anuar had both voluntarily chosen to stay in the five demon hall. the environment there was sufficient for yun anuar, a rugged man, to showcase his abilities.


    as for mut jue, the second elder of the five demon mountain, he was a wind element spiritual master. his current strength was at the seventh tier of the spirit lord master level. with his personal guidance, yun suhaila''s progress would be extremely rapid, and her safety would be well assured.


    meanwhile, mut kui, a ninth tier spirit lord master, had been thoroughly intimidated by master magi, even swearing a deadly oath to protect the blaze family at all costs. hence, when he met blaze wahab, he was exceedingly respectful.


    additionally, master magi had given him a pill recipe. if he could enlist the help of a fourth grade alchemist, he might hope to advance to the spirit king realms level within three months. this strategy of giving a stick and a carrot made him utterly loyal.


    therefore, blaze regret dared to leave bloodstone pass with peace of mind. with the formidable mut kui around, the petty villains in the vicinity dared not invade.


    seeing blaze regret nod, kartis wave smiled again and gestured for blaze regret to sit down.


    "how much do you know about the central empire nowadays?" kartis wave asked directly, without any unnecessary words, smiling as he did so.


    "i only know that there''s a kartis family there, and it''s a gathering place for the empire''s strongest individuals," blaze regret replied with an embarrassed chuckle, scratching his head. he truly didn''t know much about that mysterious place.


    "the kartis family," kartis wave nodded slightly and said softly, "it seems blaze ash hasn''t told you much."


    (if you like this novel, please support it by gift, power stone or golden ticket)

 Chapter 338 Past

    "the central empire, also known as snow storm city, is where the imperial royal family resides. snow falls there year round because the royal sovereign, seng techen''s chief spiritual beast, is a nine headed frost flood dragon.""that spiritual beast enjoys lounging above the palace. there was once a joke that whenever the nine headed frost flood dragon yawns, it''s the day snow falls in the sun moon empire."


    as kartis wave spoke, blaze regret''s eyes gradually lit up. the world he was familiar with was merely a small corner, and he had never even heard of many fascinating things.


    "as for the kartis family, they are merely one of the larger families there. in snow storm city, there are many families and forces that can rival them, including the angsana pavillion," kartis wave said calmly.


    "the angsana pavillion?" blaze regret was slightly taken aback. that seemed to be the faction where alif azfar was affiliated.


    "indeed, the head of the angsana pavillion, mekar lin, was a close friend of your father. currently, he should also be a strong king realms practitioner," kartis wave''s eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.


    "my father..." blaze regret couldn''t wait to ask, but kartis wave waved his hand to interrupt him, forcing him to close his mouth with a sheepish look.


    "this matter isn''t urgent. do you know about the war thirty years ago between the sun moon empire and the youngang empire?" kartis wave asked softly.


    a sharp light flashed in blaze regret''s eyes as he nodded slowly. regarding that brutal war, anyone from the sun moon empire would know at least a little about it. continue reading stories on empire


    in that battle, the sun moon empire lost at least dozens of king realms experts, and even the ancient monsters of the royal family were severely injured. the nation teetered on the brink of collapse until a genius rose to prominence, fighting against two opponents simultaneously and severely injuring two of their strongest sovereigns, thereby saving sun moon empire from imminent destruction.


    as he recalled this, blaze regret''s body suddenly trembled, and he looked at kartis wave with disbelief.


    "indeed, that genius is your father," kartis wave nodded with a smile.


    hearing kartis wave''s confirmation, blaze regret''s mind buzzed, and his expression became incredibly animated. he could never have imagined that his father, who had once stolen spiritual condensation liquid from the family warehouse for him, was the same ruthless figure who made a name for himself in the imperial center thirty years ago.


    this was on a completely different level!


    "surprising, isn''t it?" kartis wave chuckled, seemingly very satisfied with blaze regret''s shocked expression.


    "but my father only has the strength of a seventh tier spirit lord master," blaze regret swallowed hard, speaking with difficulty.


    "haven''t you noticed? since you were old enough to remember, your father has always been a seventh tier spirit lord master," kartis wave said, rubbing his forehead with a slightly lazy tone.


    blaze regret''s eyes trembled violently, and his breath caught. no wonder something always felt off; kartis wave''s reminder undoubtedly answered the doubts he had harbored for over a decade.


    "it''s not your fault. your father''s manipulation of the memories of everyone in velorian city is why this issue generally goes unnoticed," kartis wave explained slowly.


    "your father has remained stagnant all these years because certain forces in snow storm city placed a seal on him, preventing his spiritual power from advancing and keeping him stuck in place," kartis wave continued, his calm voice tinged with a slight chill.


    blaze regret clenched his fists tightly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. whoever was responsible for this would pay an unimaginable price.


    "blaze regret, do you think a spirit sovereign is very strong?" kartis wave suddenly changed the topic, asking softly.


    "strong, perhaps not strong."


    after pondering for a moment, blaze regret hesitated. although a spirit sovereign seemed like an unattainable level for him now, master magi''s subtle influence had made him acutely aware that there are always higher heights and greater individuals. even the strongest in the sun moon empire might not be impressive elsewhere.


    hearing blaze regret''s response, kartis wave''s eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. such awareness was indeed worthy of being blaze ash''s son.


    "i''ve said what i needed to say. now, let me tell you about the enmity between your father and the kartis family," kartis wave''s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint and hidden chill flashing through them.


    upon hearing this, blaze regret''s expression gradually became more solemn.


    "thirty years ago, your father forcefully defeated two spirit sovereign experts, and his reputation soared. with the threat of the youngang empire looming, many factions in snow storm city sought to align with your father for protection. the most prominent example was the head of the kartis family, kartis sham."


    "later, as your father''s cultivation level advanced rapidly, the youngang empire no longer dared to invade. they even sent emissaries bearing substantial compensation to seek your father''s forgiveness."


    "this was known at the time as ''one man suppressing a nation,'' causing a sensation even among many surrounding empires," kartis wave said calmly, though a hint of emotion could be detected in his voice.


    "one man suppressing a nation."


    reflecting on these words, blaze regret''s eyes gradually filled with fervor. as a spiritual practitioner, who wouldn''t desire such honor? s§×ar?h the n?vel_fire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    this is the power of absolute strength!


    "later, the structure of the sun moon empire could no longer satisfy your father, so he resolutely set out alone into the continent," kartis wave continued.


    "the continent?" blaze regret''s expression turned slightly peculiar.


    "that''s right. despite the many experts in the sun moon empire, in the eyes of true powerhouses, this place is ultimately just a remote and desolate land, unworthy of any attention," kartis wave shook his head slightly.


    for an empire to be recognized by the continent, it must at least have a spirit celestical expert, which the isolated sun moon empire clearly lacked.


    "what happened next?" blaze regret asked, frowning slightly.

 Chapter 339 humiliated

    he suddenly had a feeling that all the problems stemmed from this point."in the years after your father''s departure, a strange rumor began to ferment in snow storm city. it was said that the major powers in the central empire could only survive by relying on your father; otherwise, they would have perished countless times."


    "as a result, some major powers began to feel humiliated, and some even developed animosity towards your father. as the war became a distant memory, this sentiment deepened."


    hearing this, blaze regret''s eyes showed a hint of anger. if it weren''t for his father''s desperate struggle, these people wouldn''t have the chance to enjoy their freedom in snow storm city.


    humiliation, did they ever feel the slightest bit of it when they were being ruthlessly oppressed by the powerful figures of the youngang empire due to their lack of strength?


    "after more than a decade, your father suddenly returned to snow storm city. no one knew what he had experienced during those years; however, his body was covered with countless scars, and even his strength had fallen to the spirit king level," kartis wave said softly.


    blaze regret took a hard sip of the tea in front of him, swallowing even the tea leaves. these revelations were overwhelmingly shocking to him.

    "after your father returned, seng techan immediately issued a ban, forbidding any faction from spreading the news of blaze ash''s injuries. after all, he had offended too many people in the great war with the youngang empire."


    "yet, the news eventually leaked, and the strong figures from the youngang empire flocked in, demanding seng techan hand over your father. otherwise, they threatened to raze the sun moon empire," kartis wave''s deep voice continued.


    "seng techan... did he agree?" blaze regret''s voice was slightly hoarse.


    he could imagine how powerless an injured spirit king would be when faced with the entire force of the youngang empire''s experts.


    as the ruler of the sun moon empire, seng techan had no reason to go to war with the youngang empire again for him, right?


    "no, seng techan refused without a second thought," kartis wave''s response made blaze regret pause slightly, then frown. this was not what he had anticipated.


    "as a ruler of an empire, if one cannot even protect the meritorious officials, then it would be too incompetent. moreover, at that time, several major factions in snow storm city were also strongly opposed to it, with angsana pavillion being the most vocal," kartis wave continued.


    "however, after seng techan''s refusal, kartis sham and others, citing the greater good, allied with several individuals to take action against your father. among them, two spirit sovereign experts from the youngang empire were also involved. astonishingly, even though your father''s power had plummeted, he still possessed unmatched strength for a time."


    "with the involvement of forces like angsana pavillion, kartis sham and the experts from the youngang empire could only seal your father''s powers and swore not to take his life."


    a cold chill flashed through blaze regret''s eyes as he tightly clutched his black robe.


    no wonder the prestigious kartis family would lower themselves to meticulously target a small family. it seems this grudge has been festering for decades.


    "which factions were involved?" blaze regret''s voice was hoarse. regardless of who they were, he vowed to make them pay a heavy price in the future.


    "it was too chaotic."


    kartis wave shook his head with a sigh, "back then, i wasn''t in the sun moon empire, so some things i only heard through rumors. however, it is certain that the leader was kartis sham, the head of the kartis family. he was also the one who initially stirred up hostility against your father in snow storm city."


    "kartis sham." blaze regret softly repeated the name, a sharp glint in his eyes. "why?"


    he couldn''t understand why the head of the kartis family held such animosity towards his father.


    "when it comes to a scoundrel, there''s often no need for a reason."


    kartis wave smirked slightly, "perhaps it was out of jealousy. before your father emerged, kartis sham was the most outstanding talent of his generation in snow storm city."


    seeing blaze regret''s skeptical expression, kartis wave coughed lightly and added.


    "actually, your father had quite a temper back then. before he revealed his prowess, kartis sham once caused trouble for him. in response, your father dragged him by the hair from the gates of snow storm city all the way to the kartis family, leaving a trench in the ground. it was only after seng techan and shadow baiyi intervened that he tossed the bruised and battered kartis sham into the kartis family."


    blaze regret''s mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless. it was hard for him to reconcile this fierce side with the middle aged man who once boasted about stealing a few bottles of spirit condensing liquid.


    "so, if you go to snow storm city, the greatest resistance will be from the kartis family. many hidden factions might also target you, but one thing is certain, they won''t act openly, as only a few know the truth about that incident. most people don''t even know your father has returned to sun moon empire," kartis wave sighed.


    "therefore, what seems to be the bustling snow storm city is actually a perilous place for you. knowing this, do you still plan to go?" kartis wave smiled.


    "go, why wouldn''t i?"


    blaze regret clenched his fists with a cold smile, "whether it''s the kartis family or any other insignificant pests, they should prepare themselves for what''s coming." sea??h th§× nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "thirty years ago, my father could stir up a storm in snow storm city. thirty years later, i, blaze regret, can do the same."


    ----


    crystal clear snowflakes, resembling dandelion seeds, drifted leisurely from the silvery grey sky, eventually accumulating on the ground to form a thin layer.


    "swish!"


    amidst the swirling snow, an ice blue figure swiftly traversed the scene, accompanied by a low, whistling wind.

 Chapter 340 Arogent

    sitting on the back of the ice control irenix, blaze regret''s eyebrows were frosted white, and the biting cold wind cut across his face like sharp knives."by now, the spirit duel gathering in velorian city might have already begun," blaze regret murmured softly.


    the spirit duel gathering is an event held every three years in velorian city, where any family residing there, regardless of size, can participate.


    in the early days of velorian city''s establishment, ongoing battles over territory led to frequent bloodshed among families. to put an end to this, all families eventually agreed to determine territorial divisions through the martial prowess of their younger members.


    this agreement has persisted to this day.


    for blaze regret now, this event doesn''t hold much significance. in all of velorian city, apart from a few individuals, no one else is qualified to challenge him.


    the only person who could stir a little apprehension in him is the head of the snow family, snow fazlin.


    in velorian city.


    with the spirit duel gathering underway, the central square between the four major families has reached its peak crowd capacity. countless families flocked here with excitement, hoping to secure a piece of land.


    "sun family, sun amir wins!"


    a loud voice rang out, and in a corner of the square, a small family erupted with excited cheers. faces were filled with ecstatic joy, as this victory meant a significant change in their family''s strength for the next three years.


    on the high platform, the young man named sun yu was beaming with joy as he proudly descended from the stage.


    "second elder, the blaze family has already won three matches."


    hearing this, blaze peter nodded slightly, but his aged eyes remained fixed ahead, where snow ahmad, with a faint smile, was also watching him.


    "blaze peter, the younger generation of your blaze family isn''t doing well this time. last time, i remember you won five matches," snow ahmad said with a smile, his hands tucked into his sleeves.


    "just four wins and you think you can boast about it?" blaze peter snorted coldly, then shifted his slightly narrowed gaze to the young man beside snow ahmad.


    this man was named snow kil, who had just returned from training outside a few days ago. despite his young age, he possessed the strength of a second tier spirit imperial master, surpassing the younger generation of velorian city.


    apart from him, the most notable was sky diana of the sky family. besides her beautiful face, her strength as a first tier spirit imperial master also left many in awe.


    yet, despite her talents, sky diana was recently defeated by snow kil, and it was a decisive loss.


    "i didn''t expect that after just a few years away, the younger generation of velorian city would be so lacking," snow kil remarked disdainfully, his voice brimming with unconcealed arrogance as he looked around.


    "well, it''s not entirely true. that boy from the blaze family has some skills. if he returns, you might face each other, and perhaps there will be some surprises," snow fazlin replied with a smile.


    hearing this, snow amar, standing behind snow fazlin, wore a grim expression. he instinctively touched his face, where a grotesque scar, resembling a centipede, appeared particularly menacing.


    "blaze regret, you better come back."


    with his eyelids slightly lowered, snow amar''s eyes flashed with a resentful gleam. over the years, because of this hideous face, he had endured countless mockeries.


    though his status as the young master of the snow family deterred anyone from mentioning it to his face, rumors inevitably reached his ears.


    "blaze regret, is it?"


    snow kil let out a cold snort. "he merely relied on sheer luck to win during the angsana pavilion festival. this boy dared to disfigure snow amar''s face like that. if he truly dares to show up, i will tear his entire face off."


    snow amar''s smile was vicious as it curled at the corners of his mouth.


    "the next match: blaze regret of the blaze family versus snow kil of the snow family."


    as this announcement echoed, the previously bustling square fell into sudden silence. the crowd''s gaze first fell on kartis feng, then collectively shifted to the empty spot beside blaze peter.


    "who is blaze regret?"


    amidst the crowd, someone, sensing the peculiar atmosphere, couldn''t help but ask.


    two years had passed, and many had completely forgotten about blaze regret. some even had no idea who he was.


    "he is the son of blaze ash, the head of the blaze family. perhaps that doesn''t mean much to you, but snow amar''s face was ruined because of him."


    as this faint explanation spread, many young individuals exchanged puzzled glances. snow amar''s strength, though not on par with snow kil''s, had still reached the level of a ninth tier spirit warrior master.


    curiosity piqued, they were eager to see what kind of person could have injured snow amar so severely.


    "boom!"


    with a muffled sound, a figure clad in earthy yellow descended onto the stone platform. the powerful ripples of energy spread out forcefully, silencing those who had been whispering just moments before.


    a mid tier second level imperial grade spiritual beast, the stone armored bear, with earth attributes.


    standing on the stone platform with a stoic expression, the stone armored bear''s arms hung slightly, its massive claws glinting with a sharp, cold light. snowflakes falling from the sky dissipated before they could even reach it, scattered by the spiritual energy it emitted.


    sky diana bit her lip lightly, her pretty face tinged with gloom. it was this very stone armored bear that had swatted away her wind elemental with a single strike, leaving it with injuries that wouldn''t heal for months. sea??h th§× n?vel(f)ire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    snow kil stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and looked down at the members of the blaze family with a disdainful gaze. his voice carried an air of casual indifference, as if this battle was as trivial to him as eating or drinking tea.

 Chapter 341 Shock

    as a second tier spirit imperial master, he had ceased to regard the younger generation of velorian city as competition."young man, don''t be so arrogant. if blaze regret returns, you might not even have the courage to face him," blaze peter said coldly.


    through several messages from blaze wahab, blaze peter had come to understand just how powerful blaze regret had become, leaving even him, the second elder of the blaze family, far behind.


    "pretentious."


    snow kil shifted his gaze to the elder on the side of the high platform and said dismissively, "he''s just a coward hiding in the shadows, unworthy of being my opponent. go ahead and declare the result of the battle."


    below the platform, the members of the snow family wore cold smiles.


    "it seems this battle will be quite dull," snow fazlin remarked with a smile, casting a provocative glance at the blaze family.


    "whoosh!"


    at the very moment his last word fell, a sharp sound of wind suddenly reached from the sky, and a silver silhouette plummeted down with a thunderous crash.


    "boom!"


    the foot of the rock horn dragon rhinoceros stomped heavily onto the stone armored bear''s head. with a resounding crash, a cloud of dust and debris erupted, tearing through the air in a path of destruction that extended for dozens of feet before slowly settling.


    at the end of the fissure, the stone armored bear lay covered in dust, motionless, its head completely caved in.


    the corpse of the stone armor bear lay there quietly. after a while, a trickle of blood flowed from the back of its head. the crack extended to underfoot, and snow kil stood there dumbfounded, his mind blank, and at this moment, he lost the ability to think.


    the stone armor bear is dead?


    the surrounding crowd, after a moment of silence, erupted into a series of shocked gasps, and immediately their gazes collectively focused on the silver figure on the high platform.


    standing there with an indifferent expression, the face of the rock horn dragon rhinoceros appeared quite majestic, the silver armor covering its body shimmered with a hard luster, making it intimidating to behold.


    "a ninth level imperial grade spirit beast!"


    snow ahmad''s face suddenly changed. he had never heard of any earth element spirit master in velorian city possessing the strength of the ninth level, and moreover, this person dared to oppose the snow family.


    "who exactly are you, sneaking around? if you have the guts, come out!" snow ahmad shouted angrily. sear?h the ¦Çov§×lfire .net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the dust wave behind the rock horn dragon rhinoceros gradually dissipated, revealing a thin figure slowly emerging.


    "elder snow ahmad, it''s been many years since we last met. your strength hasn''t changed, but your temper has grown quite a bit." blaze regret said with a slight smile, his lips curving upwards.


    "blaze regret!"


    staring at the young man on the platform, snow ahmad exclaimed in shock, while the rest of the area instantly fell into a dead silence.


    the owner of that powerful spirit beast was actually blaze regret?


    snow kil raised his head with difficulty and looked at blaze regret, a strong sense of bitterness emerging at the corners of his mouth. it turned out that the strength he had always been so proud of was merely something that could be trampled upon by others.


    what was laughable was that he had been so complacent all along.


    "how is this possible!"


    snow fazlin suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief, while behind him, snow amar and snow feng''s eyes were wide open like dead fish. could it be that blaze regret has become so powerful now?


    "is he really blaze regret?"


    many young girls from various families looked at the gentle face on the stage, smiling like spring, with twinkling stars in their eyes. compared to him, those so called geniuses of velorian city were simply not worth mentioning.


    "good lad, you finally made it back." blaze peter watched blaze regret''s now more chiseled face, a hint of gratification passing through his cloudy old eyes, and he spoke with a cheerful smile.


    "well, aren''t you going to announce the result?" blaze regret smiled, glancing at the elder nearby, who was staring in disbelief.


    "in this battle, blaze family''s blaze regret wins!" the elder was startled and quickly announced.


    over the years, having hosted so many spirit battles, this was the first time he had seen a match with such a disparity in strength, where the beginning and end of the fight happened in an instant.


    "blaze regret, blaze regret..."


    with teeth clenched, drawing blood from his lips, snow amar''s body trembled. the vast gap between him and blaze regret instilled a sense of despair within him.


    "whew!"


    covering her chest with her delicate hand, sky diana smiled radiantly. the boy who was once somewhat immature seemed to have matured significantly.


    moreover, he now possessed an attraction he didn''t have before.


    thinking of this, sky diana''s beautiful face flushed slightly, and then she embarrassedly rubbed her cheeks, as she had never displayed such a loss of composure before.


    "boy, wasn''t that a bit too ruthless?" snow ahmad''s eyes darkened as he looked at blaze regret, his voice seeping through gritted teeth, tinged with a chilling coldness.


    "there are harsher methods. want to try them?" blaze regret''s smile slowly crept up his face as he responded. read new chapters at empire


    you''re kidding, right? if he had lost, his fate would have been even worse than snow kil''s, possibly even costing him his life. by only killing the latter''s spirit beast, he was already deliberately holding back.


    to friends, he would be sincere, but to enemies, he would show no mercy.


    this was his consistent principle of action.


    "good, very good!"


    snow ahmad took a step forward, his hand swirling in the air as his voice, laced with a cold sneer, echoed: "in that case, let''s see just how capable you truly are!"


    a summoning spirit array in earthy yellow rapidly sketched itself out, and blaze regret''s eyes narrowed slightly.

 Chapter 342 Expose

    snow ahmad''s strength had surprisingly reached the ninth level of a spirit imperial master, indicating that he hadn''t wasted these years; his rate of improvement was indeed quite rapid.seeing snow ahmad suddenly make a move, many people below the stage exchanged looks, feeling that this was somewhat against the rules. however, none dared to speak out and stop it, as anyone who had lived in velorian city would know that the relationship between the blaze family and the snow family had already reached an irreconcilable state.


    powerful spiritual energy burst forth from the summoning array, and the massive body of the earth splitting scorpion appeared on the high platform. its gleaming, sharp pincers scared the judging elder into fleeing the stage hastily.


    this battle had completely exceeded the scope of the spirit battle event.


    sitting below the platform, blaze peter let out a cold laugh, his face showing no hint of urgency. in the past, snow ahmad could chase blaze regret all over the city, but at this moment, the latter''s strength was incomparable to before.


    "earth splitting scorpion, rock light slash!"


    as snow ahmad''s shout fell, the earth splitting scorpion crossed its claws in front of it and then suddenly swung them out. the vast spiritual energy transformed into a massive crossed light slash that tore through the air, slashing towards the rock horn dragon rhinoceros with lightning speed.


    "within three breaths, end the battle." blaze regret gazed at the fierce assault of the earth splitting scorpion, speaking in a detached tone.


    with an expressionless nod, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros slightly clenched its fist before unleashing a powerful punch. the robust spiritual energy surged forth, forming a roaring silver rock dragon that collided heavily with the massive light slash.


    "boom!"


    a thunderous sound erupted as the dragon''s head was directly sliced with two distinct marks, while the crossed light slash shattered explosively into countless fragments, scattering like gravel.


    seeing this, snow ahmad''s pupils contracted sharply.


    after shattering the light slash, the silver rock dragon continued its momentum, crashing into the earth splitting scorpion''s claws, which were raised defensively in front. the immense force contained within the dragon pushed the scorpion back several dozen meters, tearing a deep trench into the ground.


    "boom!"


    with a stomp on the ground, the air exploded as the rock horn dragon rhinoceros darted in a flash to the earth splitting scorpion''s front. its massive hand reached out, seizing the scorpion''s tail as it violently thrust forward.


    "not good, retreat quickly!" snow ahmad felt a chill rise within him and shouted urgently.


    however, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros paid no heed to the shout. it yanked its arm back fiercely, causing the earth splitting scorpion''s body to trace an arc through the air before slamming solidly into the ground behind. cracks spread rapidly from the impact point.


    "boom! boom! boom!"


    standing its ground, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros wildly smashed the earth splitting scorpion repeatedly. the surrounding platform was pounded into deep craters, and the ground within a radius of a thousand feet trembled continuously, as if experiencing an earthquake.


    fragments of shattered rocks flew out from where the earth splitting scorpion was smashed, echoing a deep rumbling sound on the high platform. everyone''s gaze was fixed, dumbstruck, on the earth splitting scorpion, which was being battered around like a sandbag. some even had a slight tremor at the corners of their mouths.


    that was a ninth tier advanced imperial grade spirit beast, an extremely powerful presence in the entire velorian city. yet, in front of the rock horn dragon rhinocerois, it didn''t even have the right to resist.


    the rock horn dragon rhinocerous slowly stopped its actions, glanced at the nearly lifeless earth splitting scorpion, and then disdainfully flicked its arm. instantly, the scorpion''s body turned into a fierce gust of wind, shooting into the rocky ground at snow ahmad''s feet, revealing less than half of its body.


    looking down at the shattered shell of the earth splitting scorpion, snow ahmad''s old face was stiff, and his fingers hanging beside his legs trembled continuously with fear.


    he had consumed a large amount of spiritual medicine to painstakingly enhance the earth splitting scorpion, yet it was defeated by a junior?


    moreover, this was already the second earth splitting scorpion he had lost.


    "this battle, the blaze family..."


    the elder below the stage reflexively wanted to announce the result, but strange gazes shot toward him, startling him into silence. he suddenly recalled that this battle was not part of the spirit duel assembly''s schedule.


    looking at the young man on stage with a gentle smile, snow fazlin''s face turned as dark and frightening as an impending storm. the speed of blaze regret''s growth was too rapid. if left unchecked, he feared that when blaze regret returned from his next journey, the entire velorian city would be trampled under his feet.


    "hehe." explore more at empire


    blaze peter gently stroked his beard and chuckled softly, while the blaze family members behind him appeared exhilarated. if nothing unexpected happened in this spirit duel assembly, the biggest winner would undoubtedly be the blaze family.


    "blaze ash, you''ve truly raised a good son," a sinister voice squeezed through snow fazlin''s gritted teeth.


    blaze regret glanced at the gloomy faced snow fazlin and smiled faintly. he then lifted his foot, preparing to step down from the stage. sear?h the ¦Çov§×lfire .net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "wait."


    at this moment, snow fazlin''s deep voice suddenly resounded.


    casting a glance over blaze regret, snow fazlin turned to blaze peter, his expression unfriendly, and said, "elder blaze, a few months ago, our snow family''s business at bloodstone pass suffered a significant impact. could the head of the blaze family come out and explain this matter?"


    upon hearing this, sky rodzi, met intan, and others slightly narrowed their eyes. long ago, the figure of blaze ash had completely disappeared from velorian city. many rumors suggested that blaze ash might have perished somewhere.


    otherwise, how could the head of a family be missing for nearly half a year?

 Chapter 343 Challenge Snow Fazlin

    once this news was confirmed, the snow family, being the old rival of the blaze family, would undoubtedly launch a ruthless attack, aiming to crush the blaze family instantly."explain? what kind of explanation do you want?" blaze peter''s voice was calm, as if he hadn''t heard the cold intent of killing within snow fazlin''s words.


    "if you can''t clarify this matter, it''s better to have the blaze family head come out."


    snow fazlin stood up with a cold smile, and several strong members of the snow family behind him also rose. their murderous gazes were all focused on the members of the blaze family.


    they were prepared to completely tear the facade apart.


    facing the murderous snow family, the composure on blaze peter''s face gradually faded, and his brow slowly furrowed. the snow family''s bold targeting of the blaze family suggested they had caught wind of something.


    at such a time, using words to cover up would be a foolish act.


    "i heard that a few months ago, the head of the blaze family was buried outside the city. i wonder if elder blaze is aware of this," snow fazlin''s gaze, as sharp as a blade, was fixed on blaze peter.


    blaze peter''s chest heaved slightly, and his eyes were icy. although this information wasn''t accurate, the most critical point was indeed as snow fazlin stated.


    at present, blaze ash was indeed not in velorian city, so whether he was alive or not would not deter the snow family from their predatory ambitions.


    for a moment, the members of the blaze family fell into silence, but each person was on edge, their nerves stretched to the limit. if snow fazlin insisted on taking action today, the situation for the blaze family would become extremely precarious.


    after all, snow fazlin was indeed a genuine sixth tier spirit lord master.


    "elder blaze, please summon the head of the blaze family. does my presence not warrant his appearance?" snow fazlin looked at blaze peter, his voice laced with a subtle threat.


    hearing this, blaze peter''s hand inside his sleeve slightly clenched, a drop of cold sweat sliding down his face. the annihilation of a family was not unheard of in velorian city, and he firmly believed that if snow fazlin decided to make a move, the outcome would inevitably be a complete extermination.


    "my father is indeed still alive," a voice rang out from the stage, causing a gleam to flash in snow fazlin''s eyes. his gaze slowly settled on blaze regret.


    "however, even your presence isn''t enough to summon him," blaze regret grinned and said.


    blaze regret''s voice, tinged with a faint smile, spread out, leaving many with a slight sense of disbelief. although blaze regret had defeated snow ahmad, showcasing remarkable strength, the head of the snow family, snow fazlin, was not someone of snow ahmad''s caliber.


    the gap between a spirit imperial master and a spirit lord master was insurmountable.


    "so, you''re saying that if i destroy the blaze family now, blaze ash would be powerless to intervene?" snow fazlin stared at blaze regret, a sinister killing intent gradually rising in his eyes.


    snow fazlin''s hatred for blaze regret was immense. his most beloved offspring was snow amar, and it was this young man who had horribly disfigured snow amar''s face. if given the chance, snow fazlin wouldn''t hesitate to use the most brutal methods to torture blaze regret to death.


    "indeed, that''s the case," blaze regret nodded slightly, smiling as he spoke.


    continue your saga on empire


    as soon as these words were uttered, everyone''s minds buzzed with disbelief. they began to question whether blaze regret had lost his mind, considering the snow family, led by snow fazlin, was threatening to annihilate their family!


    yet, blaze regret seemed utterly unfazed.


    observing the smile on blaze regret''s face, both sky rodzi and met intan''s eyes held a peculiar glint. they certainly didn''t believe blaze regret was courting death intentionally. if he dared to speak so boldly, he must have some hidden advantage or plan.


    but what kind of hidden advantage could give a seventh tier spirit emperial master the courage to face a sixth tier spirit lord master head on?


    "bring out the person behind you," snow fazlin said coldly, his eyes glinting with a chilling light.


    "behind me?"


    a trace of surprise flashed in blaze regret''s eyes, but he quickly understood, letting out a light chuckle. "sorry, i don''t have any helpers. i simply wish to personally experience the means of the snow family head."


    when blaze regret''s voice, tinged with a faint smile, echoed across the square, many people''s mouths slightly agape, and their gazes on the tall figure on the stage became somewhat dazed.


    blaze regret actually wants to challenge snow fazlin?


    below the stage, sky rodzi and met intan were momentarily stunned. they exchanged glances, each noticing the shock in the other''s eyes, even suspecting they might have misheard.


    "you want to fight me?" snow fazlin''s expression gradually turned icy. being challenged by a junior made him feel greatly insulted.


    facing snow fazlin''s gloomy demeanor, blaze regret merely nodded with a faint smile.


    "what gives you the right to say such a thing!"


    a flash of coldness appeared in snow fazlin''s eyes as he stomped on the ground. instantly, at the edge of the stone platform where blaze regret stood, large, withered yellow branches shot up into the sky. their sharp tips tore through the hard rock, writhing madly in mid air, casting shadows below.


    under the shadow''s cover, the calm smile on blaze regret''s face did not diminish in the slightest.


    "clang!"


    the ground shook violently, and a massive figure burst forth from the earth beside snow fazlin, staring coldly at blaze regret. sear?h the n?vel(f)ire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    it was a spirit beast resembling a withered tree. its bark was cracked all over, and hollow eyes flickered with a ghostly green light. as the branch like arms on either side of its body trembled, the massive branches surrounding blaze regret instantly froze, resembling a forest of deadwood.

 Chapter 344 344 Challenge Snow Fazlin 2

    "the wild wood demon!" met intan''s eyes widened in shock, unable to conceal his astonishment upon seeing the spirit beast beside snow fazlin."snow fazlin, you actually succeeded," sky rodzi murmured lowly, his expression equally grim.


    "father, what succeeded?" sky diana asked, puzzled, turning to sky rodzi.


    "snow fazlin''s chief spirit beast was originally just a sixth tier mid level lord grade withered wood demon. with the aptitude of such a spirit beast, it''s difficult to advance further unless one ventures deep into the mountains to find a spirit beast called the wood spirit lotus. by defeating it, taking its seeds, and consuming them, one can refine and enhance their own aptitude."


    "only by employing this method can a mid level lord grade withered wood demon undergo a mutation to become a wild wood demon, experiencing a rebirth and ascending to higher levels. at this stage, the wild wood demon will also break through to become a high level lord grade spirit beast," sky rodzi explained in a low voice.


    hearing this, sky diana''s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.


    despite the seemingly slight difference between mid level and high level lord grade, the actual power they can wield is vastly different. this difference not only signifies an advancement in rank but also means that its spiritual abilities become even more formidable!


    "a high tier sixth level lord grade, huh," blaze regret mused, looking up at the branches that blotted out the sky. he couldn''t help but sigh inwardly, realizing that snow fazlin was undoubtedly more formidable now than two years ago.


    while blaze regret was encircled by the wild wood demon''s branches, an incongruous voice suddenly emerged from a corner below the stage.


    "heh, a mere spirit imperial master dares to challenge a spirit lord master. just a little achievement and he becomes ignorant of his limits. such a person will remain stuck at this level for life," sneered a young man with a sarcastic tone.


    this person, named ant che, belonged to a minor family in velorian city, which relied on the snow family for survival. thus, ant che harbored an inexplicable hostility towards blaze regret.


    "how can you speak like that?" a young girl nearby, hearing his words, felt a surge of anger.


    the girl, named lili yun, had developed a sense of admiration for blaze regret after he had decisively defeated snow ahmad earlier. hearing ant che''s disparagement of blaze regret, she couldn''t help but voice her discontent.


    "am i wrong?" ant che retorted with a jealous sneer upon seeing lili yun speak up for blaze regret.


    "he dares to challenge a spirit lord master, while you probably don''t even have the courage to face one," lili yun retorted angrily.


    "unbelievable. just wait to see how he meets his end," ant che said, turning his head, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at blaze regret standing among the branches on the stage.


    "with that, you probably don''t even have the qualification to challenge me," snow fazlin sneered at blaze regret, casting a glance at the rock horn dragon rhinoceros.


    "indeed, the gap between a ninth level imperial grade and a sixth level lord grade is truly insurmountable."


    blaze regret nodded noncommittally, and then a faint smile curved his lips as he softly said, "then it will have to be you."


    as blaze regret''s voice fell, a green spiritual array began to form in the air in front of him, emitting a subtle and refreshing fragrance that invigorated those who inhaled it.


    "a tri origin spirit master!"


    snow fazlin''s expression turned grim, and his intent to kill blaze regret surged even higher. a low level tri origin spirit master was not particularly threatening, but if allowed to grow, even snow fazlin might find it difficult to suppress him in the future.


    "kill him," snow fazlin commanded decisively.


    "whoosh!"


    the wild wood demon shook its arm, and the towering branches surrounding the platform whipped through the air with a howling sound, descending toward the center with formidable force. the momentum was terrifying.


    "boom!"


    a deep sound echoed as the sturdy platform cracked with numerous fissures before collapsing entirely. invisible shockwaves, mixed with bits of rubble, swept out in a circular pattern.


    the entire platform became shrouded in a thick cloud of dust. find more to read on empire


    "cough, cough!"


    even though many people immediately deployed defensive spiritual techniques, quite a few still found their mouths and noses filled with dust, leading to a chorus of violent coughing.


    "second elder, is blaze regret alright?"


    brushing the dust off his clothes, blaze tot looked toward the platform with a face full of fear. there, countless massive branches had fallen, resembling coiled dragons lying in wait.


    "he should be fine," blaze peter said somewhat uncertainly. after all, the information blaze peter had received about blaze regret was quite limited. he knew that blaze regret had once killed a third tier spirit lord master, but snow fazlin''s strength was far superior to that of the third tier spirit lord master.


    "serves him right for trying to show off; if he''s dead, it''s his own fault," ant che said, slapping his thigh in delight and laughing.


    as for lili yun, she bit her lip gently, her eyes fixed intently on the center of the platform, where the dust was gradually settling.


    suddenly, a wave of astonished gasps erupted as everyone gazed in disbelief at blaze regret, who stood on the shattered platform with a gentle smile on his face.


    beside him was a small, delicate green beast, adorably raising its hands. the seemingly thick branches were being held aloft, supported by vines shooting from its palms.


    the withered branches, resembling twisting dragons, were pushed aside by the vine in ethereal lotus''s palm, creating a small space that drew everyone''s attention.


    a moment later, a shocked cry shattered the silence in the scene.


    "a tier 3 advanced lord grade spirit beast!" s§×ar?h the nov§×lf~ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    the source of this voice was sky rodzi, whose eyes narrowed in surprise. normally, given his temperament, it would be impossible for him to lose his composure like this.

 Chapter 345 345 Challenge Snow Fazlin 3

    however, a tier 7 spirit imperial master summoning such a powerful spirit beast was indeed astonishing to him.of course, his knowledge was slightly lacking compared to silver lucas''s, as he was unaware of the existence of mysterious beasts on this continent.


    "swish!"


    with a flick of ethereal lotus''s hand, the vine swirled, sending a few emerald green flashes slicing through the air. the tough branches of the wild wood demon were cut cleanly, falling to the ground with a snap, and the break was as smooth as a mirror.


    "what kind of spirit beast is this?" snow ahmad exclaimed in shock, his expression turning extremely grim.


    his wild wood demon, being of wood attribute and even of the same tier, would find it difficult to have its branches severed so easily. yet, the little beast beside blaze regret was merely a tier 3 advanced lord grade.


    watching snow ahmad''s constantly changing expression, blaze regret gave a faint smile. he then stepped back quickly, exiting the battle zone''s range.


    even if the wild wood demon''s tier was higher than ethereal lotus''s, the unique characteristics of the mysterious beast significantly reduced its advantage. at this moment, it was facing what seemed more like a fire attribute spirit beast that strongly countered it.


    "no matter what you are, just die! wild wood demon, use root bind!" snow ahmad commanded coldly.


    "boom!"


    hearing the command, the wild wood demon''s roots dug deeply into the ground. moments later, countless slender roots burst forth from the earth around ethereal lotus, writhing like agile little snakes, aiming to entwine it.


    ethereal lotus''s eyes flashed slightly as she leaped into the air. while airborne, her small hands rapidly formed seals, and emerald green spiritual energy surged between her hands, swiftly transforming into a giant leaf.


    the leaf appeared in a spiral form and began rotating rapidly the moment it emerged, enveloped below by a faint green energy arc.


    "boom!"


    as ethereal lotus thrust her hands forward, the leaf shot downward like a cannonball, accompanied by resounding sonic booms, targeting the slender roots that were curling towards her.


    advanced lord grade spiritual technique: spiral leaf cannon!


    the spinning spiral leaf exploded upon contact with the encroaching roots, unleashing a wave of emerald green energy that instantly obliterated the roots.


    waves of energy rippled outward beneath ethereal lotus, continuously spreading and even shattering the thick branches around her.


    "snap!"


    ethereal lotus lightly tapped a rock, landing steadily on a protruding boulder. as she stood up, verdant leaves began swirling around her, swiftly sweeping out like a tornado.


    "crack! crack!"


    as the tornado swept through, the ground''s fragmented rocks were pulverized, leaving a long trench in its wake.


    watching the oncoming storm of leaves, the hollow eye sockets of the wild wood demon flickered with a dim light. with a loud thud, its body, supported by several branches, hovered a meter above the ground. meanwhile, the broken roots beneath it rapidly extended, twisting into what resembled a massive wooden foot.


    spiritual technique: giant wood stomp!


    as a mutated form of the withered wood demon, the wild wood demon could naturally wield this highly destructive spiritual technique. as its giant wooden foot stomped down, the furious leaf storm was scattered, and sharp leaves pierced the ground at an angle.


    "boom!"


    the wooden foot, entwined beneath the wild wood demon''s trunk, crushed the leaf storm and descended towards ethereal lotus, casting a considerable shadow over her diminutive form.


    "hmph!"


    seemingly displeased with this form of attack, ethereal lotus flicked her small hand, and a slender emerald green vine shot out like lightning. in mid air, the vine quickly curled, forming an emerald green vine wheel. the edge of this wheel was lined with sharp spikes, their tips glinting like cold stars.


    "whoosh!"


    a slightly sharp sound of the wind being sliced through echoed as the vine wheel tore through the air, meeting the oncoming foot of the wild wood demon.


    at the moment of contact, a powerful gust swept out, cracking the ground below into a web of fissures and shattering rocks with a resounding crack.


    after a brief stalemate, the vine wheel shattered into pieces, and the foot of the wild wood demon, formed by twisted roots, was covered in cracks. finally, with a boom, a violent burst of energy erupted.


    "clang!"


    stay tuned with empire


    the wild wood demon was thrown back in disarray, its branches gouging deep pits into the ground. it didn''t come to a steady halt until these pits stretched several meters.


    across from it, ethereal lotus waved a single leaf provocatively.


    "what on earth is that thing?" snow ahmad''s face was frosty as he looked at ethereal lotus. he couldn''t comprehend how she could face the wild wood demon without defeat with just a tier 3 strength. this inexplicable situation was driving him nearly insane.


    in fact, it wasn''t just him; even sky rodzi and met intan were baffled. their experience paled in comparison to those who had spent years battling outside, like silver lucas and others.


    "it''s just a pretty vase; it won''t be long before it falls," ant che asserted confidently.


    as for his arrogance, lili yun had grown tired of engaging with him. her eyes were fixed solely on the petite ethereal lotus, who had an irresistible charm to young girls.


    standing at a distance from the battle zone, blaze regret''s eyes glimmered with curiosity. the spiritual technique ethereal lotus had just used was the high level lord tier technique, thorn wheel, known for being one of her fastest deployed techniques.


    "if that''s the case, then it seems i''ll have to use that move," he thought.


    a sinister gleam intensified in snow ahmad''s eyes as spiritual seals rapidly circled around his palm. he then forcefully pressed down in the direction of the withered wood demon, announcing, "advanced lord grade spiritual technique: source of desiccation!"


    as this malevolent voice echoed, the expression of the withered wood demon turned fiercely hideous. its body shuddered violently, and the branches surrounding it exploded instantaneously, leaving only a bare trunk. sear?h the n?vel_fire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 346 Challenge Snow Fazlin 4

    following the explosion of the branches, desiccated yellow energy rapidly gathered above its head, transforming at an astonishing speed into a sharp wooden needle.although the wooden needle appeared slender, the moment it materialized, the surrounding space seemed to fracture with lines, as if being sliced apart.


    source of desiccation: withered wood needle!


    tiny withered wooden needles hovered in front of the wild wood demon, emitting a sharp aura that, even from a distance, caused a stinging sensation on the skin of many onlookers.


    at the very moment this withered wooden needle appeared, the wild wood demon''s aura became extremely feeble. it was evident that this spiritual technique imposed a tremendous burden on it.


    "whizz!"


    after a brief pause, the withered wooden needle shot out violently, resembling a miniature whirlwind, darting straight toward ethereal lotus. behind it, the air appeared slightly distorted, and the piercing sound of the needle cutting through the wind echoed incessantly.


    the speed of the withered wooden needle was incredibly fast; in just a blink, it appeared in front of ethereal lotus. its sharp tip seemed as though it would tear through space.


    with a sinister curve at the corner of his mouth, snow fazlin fixed his gaze intently in the direction of the withered wooden needle. it was only a matter of moments before blaze regret''s spirit beast would become a withered corpse.


    "buzz!"


    the fierce wind stung the eyes, making them water slightly. ethereal lotus raised a small hand, sending out ripples of emerald green spiritual power to meet the whistling withered wooden needle head on.


    in an instant, the extremely sharp withered wooden needle froze just before ethereal lotus''s palm. visible ripples spread from its needle tip, and a low buzzing sound continuously reverberated.


    ethereal lotus''s small lips pressed slightly together as the color of withered yellow began to spread across her hand. gradually, the withering spread upward, making her entire arm appear desiccated.


    "so this is the wild wood demon''s strongest spiritual technique." sky rodzi and met intan both wore slightly grave expressions. this eerie scene instilled a sense of dread in their hearts, as even their chief spirit beasts might not survive such an attack.


    "heh." the sinister smile on snow fazlin''s lips grew even more pronounced. although this method of killing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of his own pained him, as long as he could eliminate ethereal lotus, there would be no one left in the blaze family capable of stopping his advance.


    "hah!"


    enjoy new adventures from empire


    a flash of cold light crossed her eyes as ethereal lotus raised her left hand and abruptly opened it. a series of verdant leaves appeared sequentially in front of her, emanating a rich aura of life.


    snow fazlin''s brows furrowed slightly upon seeing these suddenly appearing leaves, but he did not panic. he was well aware of how terrifying the wild wood demon''s withered wooden needle was. s§×ar?h the n?velfire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    even a spirit beast of the seventh tier lord grade would slowly exhaust its vitality and wither to death under this attack.


    "bang!"


    a low sound reverberated as those leaves exploded, transforming into small emerald green light clusters. under the swirling motion of ethereal lotus''s small hand, they gradually settled onto the withered areas.


    as soon as these light clusters touched the arm, they permeated into it. in the next instant, ethereal lotus''s body rapidly returned to its original state. in her palm, a drop of intensely concentrated withered yellow liquid quickly coalesced.


    "how can this be!" snow fazlin''s face showed shock. was the wild wood demon''s strongest attack unexpectedly broken?


    glancing at the dismayed snow fazlin, blaze regret''s lips curled into a slight smile. if it were any other spirit beast, they would certainly succumb to this attack, but his ethereal lotus was not the least bit afraid of the wild wood demon''s bizarre offensive.


    the radiance of leaves, a high lord grade spiritual technique, could rapidly repair damaged bodies and even heal special injuries such as burns and poisoning.


    and across the entire continent, only ethereal lotus could use such a spiritual technique.


    "crack!"


    having exhausted all its spiritual power, cracks spread across the surface of the withered wooden needle. with a cracking sound, it shattered into countless tiny wood fragments, scattering to the ground.


    "hah!"


    lifting her gaze slightly, ethereal lotus looked at the dazed expression of the wild wood demon, and a mocking curve suddenly tugged at the corner of her mouth.


    with a gentle opening of her small hand, she made a distant grasping motion toward where the wild wood demon stood.


    "crack!"


    an emerald green bud emerged at the top of the wild wood demon''s body. this unusual color stood out prominently against its withered frame.


    noticing the bud sprouting from the wild wood demon, snow fazlin''s expression changed slightly. although he didn''t know what it was, he was certain it wasn''t a good omen for the wild wood demon.


    "hiss!"


    to the astonishment of the onlookers, buds began to rapidly appear all over the wild wood demon''s body, drawing in spiritual energy from the surroundings continuously into their depths.


    as light flickered, the buds slowly bloomed into large, deep crystal blue flowers, surrounding the wild wood demon as if transforming it into a flower tree.


    a fresh fragrance permeated the entire square at this moment.


    glancing at snow fazlin''s grim expression, blaze regret smiled faintly. these flowers were known as bi luo flowers, a signature of ethereal lotus. once the seeds were embedded within an opponent, they could be quickly activated by ethereal lotus to bloom within mere moments.


    ethereal lotus had stealthily embedded these seeds within the vines during the earlier needle spike attack. they infiltrated the wild wood demon''s body through direct contact.


    all of this was executed without anyone noticing.


    sky rodzi and met intan''s eyes flickered as they gazed at the abundant flower tree formed by the wild wood demon. a profound sense of danger surged within them.

 Chapter 347 Challenge Snow Fazlin Final

    without hesitation, they immediately stood up, unleashing torrents of spiritual energy in different colors, forming a solid barrier in front of their respective families.seeing their reactions, others were momentarily stunned, then shivered involuntarily. one after another, they frantically activated defensive spiritual techniques.


    "detonate."


    as blaze regret''s indifferent voice was uttered, a flash of light passed, and the bi luo flower on the right side of the wild wood demon exploded with a boom. the terrifying energy released tore a gaping fissure in the ground, and half of the wild wood demon''s body vanished in a shocking instant.


    "boom! boom! boom!"


    in the blink of an eye, the crystal blue, magnificent flowers exploded one after another, producing a sound akin to muffled thunder. with each flower''s detonation, a brilliant and fierce gust swept across, spreading wildly.


    the energy from the explosions battered the surrounding barriers, leaving them teetering on the brink of collapse. apart from sky rodzi and met intan, the heads of the smaller families wore bitter expressions, with some even coughing up blood from the impact.


    as the final tremendous sound echoed, massive energy patterns of the bi luo flowers solidified in the air, appearing exceptionally splendid.


    beneath those bi luo flowers, the ground had been blasted into a deep crater, and the wild wood demon''s body was completely gone. only wisps of thin white smoke rose gently from a fragment of withered wood at the bottom of the pit.


    on the dilapidated high platform, the dust gradually settled, and the battle between blaze regret and snow fazlin concluded with a decisive result at this moment. around the platform, everyone stood up, and after a brief silence, a wave of astonished murmurs suddenly erupted. many widened their eyes in shock.


    snow fazlin... lost?


    "i must be dreaming," ant che muttered, staring at ethereal lotus''s unharmed figure, feeling almost suffocated, unwilling to accept such an outcome.


    "hmph, go on and be proud," lili yun snorted softly and turned her head away. her eyes, however, grew increasingly fervent as she gazed at the young man on the platform.


    "he actually won," sky rodzi and met intan exchanged glances, a hint of bitterness escaping their lips. they had to admit that this suddenly rising junior had left them far behind. your next read is at empire


    it''s important to note that their strength was still a notch below snow fazlin''s.


    gently patting her chest, sky diana''s eyes flickered with concealed delight. however, her delicate face suddenly darkened. two years ago, she could compete alongside blaze regret with comparable strength in the angsana pavilion festival, but in the blink of an eye, he had left her far behind.


    "it seems i need to work harder," sky diana sighed lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.


    "blaze regret, you''re impressive!"


    giving a thumbs up, blaze tot laughed heartily, and then his gaze suddenly fell on ant che. a hint of undisguised ridicule appeared on his face.


    earlier, ant che''s voice had been quite loud, and even though they were separated by several families, blaze tot had heard their conversation. however, due to the intensity of the battle between blaze regret and snow fazlin, he couldn''t divert his attention.


    feeling blaze tot''s unfriendly gaze, ant che couldn''t help but shiver, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. he knew very well the consequences of offending someone as vengeful as blaze tot.


    "if i had known, i wouldn''t have opposed the blaze family just to please the snow family!"


    watching blaze tot approaching closer, ant che''s face filled with terror, and his body seemed to be drained of all strength, collapsing weakly into his chair.


    "master snow, aren''t you going to say something?"


    taking a few steps forward, blaze regret absorbed ethereal lotus into the spirit portal and looked at snow fazlin with a cheerful smile.


    "you brat, you truly are ruthless!"


    with bloodshot eyes, snow fazlin withdrew his gaze from the broken wooden debris in the pit and fiercely glared at blaze regret, resembling a ravenous wolf ready to attack.


    in response to this gaze, blaze regret merely offered a faint smile before his expression instantly turned icy cold.


    "boom!"


    stomping his foot on the ground, scorching flames erupted, and blaze regret''s body shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring, appearing in front of snow fazlin in a flash. silver spiritual energy surged into his palm, and he delivered a powerful strike.


    "smack!"


    a crisp, muffled sound echoed as blaze regret''s palm landed squarely on snow fazlin''s crossed arms. the immense force caused snow fazlin''s face to turn ashen instantly, and as blood mist sprayed, he staggered back dozens of feet.


    stomping his foot hard on the ground, snow fazlin stabilized his posture, his gaze filled with terror as he looked at his crossed arms in front of his chest. a distinct handprint was imprinted on his forearms.


    blaze regret''s single palm had managed to dent both of snow fazlin''s arms! s§×arch* the n?velfire(.)net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    maintaining the posture of his palm strike, blaze regret''s lips curled slightly, and he gently shook his wrist. the body of a spirit lord master was indeed astonishingly resilient. if it weren''t for snow fazlin''s chaotic spiritual energy, preventing him from quickly mobilizing his strength, blaze regret might have been the one severely injured.


    "stop, i am willing to lead the snow family out of velorian city!"


    as he met blaze regret''s indifferent gaze, snow fazlin trembled all over. without thinking, his voice, filled with fear, spread across the square.


    upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat stunned. the snow family had lived in velorian city for an unknown number of years, always maintaining their dominant position until over a decade ago when the blaze family, led by blaze ash, suddenly descended upon this small city.


    and today, more than a decade later, snow fazlin was defeated by blaze regret, forced to utter the words of relocating his entire family.


    neither father nor son is easy to deal with.


    (if you like this novel, please support by gift and powe stone)

 Chapter 348 Mastermind

    the same thought emerged in everyone''s mind. upon hearing these words, the faces of snow amar and snow feng turned gloomy. they knew very well what awaited the snow family once they left velorian city.not only would years of connections be lost, but finding a place to settle would also be a challenge. surely no town would be eager to suddenly welcome a family that might compete for resources and influence.


    "leave?"


    seeing the mocking curve on blaze regret''s lips, snow fazlin froze, fear rising in his heart. could it be that he intended to eradicate them completely?


    "you can survive, but first, you need to explain who is behind you, directing your actions." blaze regret clasped his hands behind his back, gazing indifferently into snow fazlin''s eyes. the abrupt question left many bewildered.


    a mastermind?


    in this town, who could possibly use the snow family as a pawn?


    "i don''t understand what you''re talking about," snow fazlin replied with a confused expression, but deep in his eyes, a flicker of concealed panic flashed.


    "as expected, no one listens when you speak nicely."


    shaking his head with a slight smile, blaze regret''s expression suddenly turned sharp. in a flash, he swung his right foot with full force, delivering a fierce kick to snow fazlin''s chest.


    "poof!"


    a mouthful of warm blood spewed uncontrollably as snow fazlin''s body flew back, carving a deep trench in the ground. when he finally stopped, another mouthful of blood erupted.


    "if my father''s disappearance was reason enough for you to act, then with your ruthless nature, you wouldn''t have waited until now," blaze regret said, standing over snow fazlin, looking down at him coldly. in his palm, a sharp ice blade appeared.


    "the blood eagle pavilion, it''s the blood eagle pavilion!"


    upon seeing the ice blade swirling with cold air in blaze regret''s hand, snow fazlin''s lips twitched. he then gritted his teeth and uttered a name completely unfamiliar to the residents of velorian city.


    "blood eagle pavilion, what is that?" sky rodzi asked, furrowing his brow in confusion.


    "blood eagle pavilion, huh."


    a faint glint of coldness flashed in blaze regret''s eyes, and his expression gradually turned icy. they hadn''t even left velorian city yet, and someone was already unable to restrain themselves.


    "a minion is still a minion, jumping higher than its master."


    with the chilling ice blade held in a reverse grip, blaze regret slowly turned his head, gazing unemotionally in the direction of snow storm city. "the kartis family''s assessment should be starting soon. i''ve heard that achieving success in this assessment allows one to become the kartis family''s most loyal minion."


    "then, let''s start with your blood eagle pavilion."


    the grand battle in velorian city concluded with blaze regret severing one of snow fazlin''s arms. this impressive confrontation quickly spread like wildfire across the neighboring towns, leaving a deep impression on all who heard of it.


    upon hearing the news, even the heads of some prominent families were left in stunned silence. as spirit masters themselves, they were well aware of how formidable a sixth tier spirit lord master like snow fazlin could be. yet, such a daunting figure was defeated by a mere youth.


    blaze regret''s mystical creature, ethereal lotus, also gained fame, with some places even exaggerating it into a ferocious beast of extreme savagery. hearing such rumors, blaze regret could only chuckle helplessly and shrug his shoulders.


    as for the snow family, they suffered a devastating blow. their most fertile territories were swiftly taken over by the blaze family, while their more remote lands were quickly divided among the remaining families.


    while snow fazlin and his associates struggled to survive in the shadows, it was clear to any astute observer that their days of prosperity were over. not to mention the ruthless blaze peter, even sky rodzi and met intan had set their sights on the snow family. sea??h th§× n?velfire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    it would not be long before this family was completely erased from existence in velorian city.


    of course, blaze regret was not particularly concerned with any of this at the moment.


    in the early morning, a biting cold wind blew past the room, swirling fine, icy snowflakes. a thick layer of snow had piled up in the courtyard outside blaze regret''s door, and the heavy snowfall continued unabated, turning the landscape into a vast expanse of white. discover more content at empire


    "whoosh!"


    seated on his bed, blaze regret squinted slightly as he exhaled a long breath of white mist, which slightly curled the fur of the creature in front of him, red.


    red, curled up into a ball, clutched its fluffy tail and smacked its lips comfortably. in this weather, it seemed to have taken its love of sleep to a new level.


    "the number of forces in snow storm city is indeed considerable."


    flipping through the thick ancient texts, blaze regret propped his chin with his hand and muttered to himself.


    as the most prosperous region of the sun moon empire, the sheer size of snow storm city was astonishing. even a hundred velorian cities could scarcely compare, and even some vast mountain ranges were encompassed within its bounds.


    this vastness naturally led to an innumerable number of both large and small factions within snow storm city.


    while blaze regret was engrossed in his study of snow storm city, several unfamiliar figures, treading through the thick snow, entered velorian city.


    leading the group was an old man, whose face bore an unmistakable air of arrogance the moment he stepped into velorian city. the young men accompanying him displayed a constant sense of superiority on their faces.


    "this is velorian city? indeed, a backwater place, barely any spirit lord masters around," one of the young men remarked disdainfully as he glanced around.


    "soul ping, stop nitpicking. a small place is a small place; it can''t compare to our snow storm city. even a single spirit lord master or a few spirit leaders here could cause a sensation," another young man commented with a chuckle.

 Chapter 349 The Uninvited Guest

    hearing their conversation, the lead youth merely curled his lips slightly without speaking.this young man was named soul yin, currently a fourth tier spirit imperial master, and the two youths behind him, soul ping and soul ken, were both third tier spirit imperial masters.


    such a lineup was quite formidable, enough to dominate the younger generation in some mid sized towns.


    thus, upon their arrival in velorian city, their disdain was palpable.


    "don''t underestimate this town. though it''s small in scale, the people living here have significant backgrounds," the old man at the front said seriously, his eyes directed toward the blaze family''s location.


    "tch, don''t make it sound so intimidating. isn''t it just a fallen star? even our patriarch is much stronger than him now," soul ken retorted dismissively.


    "true, i guess i''m just getting old and forgetful. but back in the day, blaze ash was formidable, and the impression he left is hard to erase," the old man shook his head with a smile.


    "hehe, blaze ash''s son is in the city now, isn''t he? i''m curious to see how long he can last against me," soul ping said, his hand clenching slightly as a mocking smile appeared in his eyes.


    "we''ll find out soon enough."

    soul yin, who had remained silent until now, suddenly laughed. his arrogance was evident, as defeating the descendant of such a notable figure would certainly give him bragging rights back in snow storm city, even if the opponent was considered a nobody.


    the name blaze ash, once a taboo in snow storm city, had recently begun to circulate like a storm in the community. the reason was the upcoming assessment by the kartis family.


    currently, countless eyes were focused on velorian city, as rumors suggested that the once renowned blaze ash of the empire had appeared there. his descendants were said to reside in this town.


    many factions in snow storm city were eager to discover which lineage was stronger: that of the rival figures blaze ash or kartis sham. however, it was clear that the majority favored kartis van, given the overwhelming resources and prosperity of snow storm city compared to the meager offerings of velorian city.


    "are we really going to deliver this invitation inside?" soul ken asked, holding a jade like invitation in his hand, glancing with a smirk at the closed gates of the blaze family.


    "what else?" soul ping grinned, summoning a massive wind eagle beside him. its clear cry shook the snow off the top of the blaze family''s gate.


    "in that case, let''s go ahead and announce our presence." soul yin displayed a calm smile as a similar wind eagle circled above him, its sharp wings slicing through the falling snowflakes.


    the gale eagle, a mid tier imperial grade spirit beast, was of the wind attribute.


    as the three enormous wind eagles circled above, the eyes of passersby trembled with apprehension.


    these individuals were clearly intent on making a grand entrance at the blaze family''s doorstep.


    the elderly man with the surname soul did not intervene to stop the actions of the three youths. instead, he watched with a cheerful demeanor, as he did not consider the small blaze family worthy of his concern.


    after circling the skies for a while, the three gale eagles fixed their sharp gaze on the blaze family''s gate. their talons began to shimmer with a bluish wind glow, and they swooped down with lightning speed.


    "whoosh!"


    the piercing sound of the wind echoed instantly.


    three sharp eyed gale eagles, with a faint azure glow on their claws, swooped down with a whistle, scattering the snowflakes in the sky with the force contained in their descent.


    the passersby watching the sudden appearance of several strangers in front of the blaze family''s gate were filled with astonishment, while some hidden spirit master experts looked on with grave expressions.


    "the soul family from snow storm city, is it?"


    standing on a pavilion, mol mark gazed at the smiling elder of the soul family, slightly furrowing his brow. as someone who came from the angsana pavillion, he naturally understood what the appearance of the soul family signified.


    in snow storm city, medium sized forces like the soul family were all loyal to the kartis family!


    even the blood eagle pavilion was no exception.


    "swish!"


    the gale eagles swooped down with astonishing speed. in just a moment, they appeared in front of the blaze family''s main gate, their claws radiating a cold luster akin to sharp metal.


    the corners of soul yin and the others'' mouths lifted slightly, revealing mocking smiles on their faces. bullying small families was something they had done quite often.


    "swish!"


    however, just as the gale eagles'' sharp claws were about to tear apart the gate, a pale yellow shadow suddenly leapt down from the high wall with a swift sound of wind breaking. following that, a sharp semicircular arc flashed through the air.


    "snap!"


    with a firm step on the snow, red landed steadily on the ground. behind it, the three gale eagles let out mournful cries, and then their bodies were sent flying backward, disappearing into the thick snow.


    in the next moment, three gleaming claws, still carrying traces of blood, were embedded in the snow beside them.


    in just the blink of an eye, the formerly majestic gale eagles had all had their claws severed.


    staring at the continuously whimpering gale eagles, the elder of the soul family and soul yin and the others were like statues, their eyes vacant. slowly, their stiff gazes lifted.


    "zhi~"


    the grand gate slowly opened, revealing a somewhat lean figure who emerged into the gaze of the onlookers.


    "so, we have guests."


    standing on the threshold, blaze regret smiled as he sized up the visitors, showing no sign of surprise at the arrival of these uninvited guests.


    "a seventh tier spirit imperial master!"


    the elder from the soul family looked at blaze regret, his eyes suddenly sharpening. such strength, even in snow storm city, would be considered top notch.

 Chapter 350 Invitation (Bonus)

    it was hard to imagine that such a genius could emerge in a small place like velorian city."young man, injuring someone else''s spirit beasts right off the bat, isn''t that a bit too cruel?" the elder took a deep breath, a hint of coldness flickering in his slightly narrowed old eyes.


    hearing this, soul yin and the others also reacted, glaring at blaze regret with indignation.


    "cruel?"


    blaze regret curled his lips in a cold sneer and said, "you all were about to smash the gate of my blaze family, and you expect me to treat you politely? are you out of your mind, or do you not have a mind at all?"


    hearing blaze regret''s merciless words, the elder''s face grew increasingly sullen, and after a moment, a voice filled with intense coldness slowly emerged from his mouth.


    "soul ping, give it to him." sear?h the nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    casting a fierce glare at blaze regret, soul ping waved his hand, sending a white jade invitation flying towards blaze regret with a sharp whooshing sound.


    "snap!"


    with a slight clench of his uplifted hand, blaze regret caught the jade invitation in his grasp. he smiled at the group, but this seemingly warm smile was filled with mocking provocation in the eyes of the soul family members.


    "whoosh!"


    with his chest gently rising and falling, soul yin let out a long breath. the revelation of blaze regret''s seventh tier spirit imperial master strength had undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to his confidence, and he still hadn''t fully recovered.


    unfolding the white jade invitation, blaze regret''s gaze swept over it, and the cold smile at the corner of his mouth gradually widened.


    "the kartis family, you really are ruthless."


    with a swift motion, he crushed the jade invitation in his hand, his eyes flickering with a deep, cold light. the kartis family had the audacity to invite him to participate in the assessment, not only as a means to humiliate his father but also as an attempt to permanently trap him in snow storm city.


    he had no doubt that kartis van would seize the chance during that so called assessment to eliminate him. explore more stories with empire


    "are you also participating in the kartis family''s assessment?" blaze regret looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he regarded soul yin and the others.


    "of course." soul ping puffed out his chest with a proud demeanor, as if being able to participate in the kartis family''s assessment was an immense honor.


    "so, there really are people in this world eager to become someone else''s pawn." blaze regret shook his head with a chuckle.


    the kartis family''s so called assessment was essentially a method to bring in fresh blood. all young spirit master in snow storm city were eligible to participate, and those who performed outstandingly could receive rewards from the kartis family, which included becoming a member of the kartis family.


    however, from that point on, they would need to abandon their original surname and adopt the kartis surname.


    yet, to many, this was not a disgrace but rather an opportunity to rise to great heights, so they were more than willing to accept the kartis family name placed upon them.


    "what do you know!" soul ping retorted, his neck stiff and face flushed as he shouted angrily at blaze regret, while soul yin and soul ken also looked at blaze regret with a fiery anger.


    how could someone of a lower status possibly understand the tremendous benefits that the prestigious kartis surname could bring?


    "young man, show some respect to the kartis family," the elder from the soul family said, his voice particularly somber.


    "what a group of obedient lapdogs you are."


    blaze regret chuckled and shook his head, a bit helplessly, as he said, "pass on a message for me. i will attend that so called assessment, but they should be prepared. if kartis van accidentally gets crippled by me, they shouldn''t blame it on me. after all, that bunch from the kartis family is capable of anything."


    "you!" soul yin and the others turned livid. if they weren''t outmatched by blaze regret, they would have already rushed forward in a desperate attempt. in their hearts, the kartis family was even more esteemed than the royal family.


    therefore, hearing blaze regret insult the kartis family so brazenly filled them with indescribable rage.


    "hmph!"


    as soul yin and the others retracted the mournful gale eagles into their spiritual portals, the elder from the soul family flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave velorian city. coming with high spirits and leaving disappointed aptly described their situation.


    "little fellow, you sure know how to stir things up."


    from a distance, mol mark watched the scene unfold, shaking his head with a faint smile. "but i like it. the angsana pavillion and the kartis family have never been on friendly terms."


    as he observed the trembling backs of the soul family members, a playful smile gradually spread across blaze regret''s lips.


    "visiting friends and relatives without leaving something behind before leaving is quite unreasonable, don''t you think?"


    "you can''t just leave without leaving something behind, especially when visiting friends or relatives, can you?"


    as blaze regret''s voice, tinged with a faint smile, echoed through the air, the footsteps of the soul family members halted abruptly. their expressions became rather stiff.


    "what do you mean?"


    a cold glint flashed in his eyes as soul yin turned his head to look at blaze regret with a sinister gaze.


    he had never forgotten the grudge of the gale eagle being crippled. if blaze regret dared to push further, even if it meant defying the kartis family''s orders, he would have the elder beside him strike and beat blaze regret half to death. after all, the elder by his side, surnamed soul, was a second tier spirit lord master.


    if it weren''t for the kartis family''s orders, the fire cat wouldn''t have even reached their gale eagle and would have been cut into two in mid air.

 Chapter 351 Robbery (Bonus)

    "i said, since you''re already here, you should leave something behind," blaze regret continued to smile, as if ignoring the coldness in soul yin''s eyes.upon hearing this, the face of the soul elder turned extremely grim. this kid was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.


    "what if i refuse?" soul yin''s eyes showed a faint mockery as he provocatively looked at blaze regret.


    "i''m sorry, but you don''t have a say here."


    with a helpless shrug, blaze regret flicked his fingers, and a wisp of pale yellow flame shot through the air like a beam of light, rushing towards soul yin.


    although this flame wasn''t a spiritual technique, merely formed by powerful spiritual energy, it posed a significant threat to soul yin, a fourth tier spirit imperial master.


    however, as he watched the roaring flame approach, soul yin crossed his arms and sneered disdainfully. what could a seventh tier spirit imperial master do with a second tier spirit lord master present? you think you can harm me? how presumptuous!


    with a cold snort, the elder surnamed soul waved his sleeve, and azure spiritual energy gathered, forming a broad wind barrier in front of him. this barrier, with its subtle wind swirls, appeared exceptionally sturdy.


    "you''d better just watch the matters between the younger generation."


    suddenly, a hoarse voice emerged beside the elder surnamed soul. following this, a withered hand gently gripped his shoulder.


    "creak!"


    the sound of bone dislocation that could make one''s teeth ache echoed, and the elder''s expression turned to shock as the wind barrier in front of him shattered inch by inch.


    "whoosh!"


    the pale yellow beam of spiritual energy brushed past the top of soul yin''s head, instantly setting his hair ablaze with a puff. the scorched yellow smoke spiraled up, making soul yin look particularly ridiculous at this moment.


    the scorching pain from the top of his head left soul yin standing there in a daze. moments later, his throat involuntarily moved, realizing that he had been less than an inch away from death.


    if the flame had been just a bit lower, his skull would have been blown off completely.


    thinking of this, soul yin''s body trembled slightly, with cold sweat dripping down his face, his inner fear reaching its peak.


    "who are you!"


    seeing this scene, the elder surnamed soul turned his head in anger, only to witness a terrifying sight. a mass of eerie black fog rolled beside him, held by a skeletal white hand devoid of any flesh.


    "i am mut yin, the third elder of the five demon hall. years ago, i crossed paths with soul lin, the head of the soul family. he was barely worth a glance, but you are far from it." explore stories on empire


    from within the black mist, a slightly hoarse voice slowly emerged.


    "mut yin?" the elder surnamed soul was momentarily stunned, and then a deep sense of shock filled his eyes.


    even in snow storm city, five demon hall is a force ranked among the top ten. after all, their hall lord, mut kui, is just a step away from becoming a spirit king expert.


    spirit king experts are scarce in the entire sun moon empire. for instance, the head of the kartis family, kartis sham, is a seventh tier spirit king.


    this represents the pinnacle of combat power within the empire.


    thus, one can imagine the shock in the elder''s heart upon hearing the name five demon hall.


    "that old fellow soul lin should be an eighth tier spirit lord master by now."


    as the dense black fog dissipated, a pale face was revealed. mut yin glanced at the elder surnamed soul with a hoarse voice.


    upon hearing this, the elder''s face turned somewhat bitter. in snow storm city, the soul family is merely a medium sized force, with a noticeable gap compared to five demon hall. therefore, at this moment, he couldn''t even muster the thought of resistance.


    observing mut yin''s gaunt figure, the onlookers at the blaze family gate felt a tingling in their scalps. this was an eighth tier spirit lord master, and such a powerful figure was somehow connected to the blaze family.


    as for the spirit masters hidden in the shadows, they all withdrew their heads and sighed softly.


    the blaze family had indeed become untouchable.


    seeing the shock on everyone''s faces, blaze regret smiled faintly.


    although defeating snow fazlin might make some families wary, once he leaves velorian city, this intimidation would gradually fade. sooner or later, someone might be unable to resist making a move against the blaze family.


    after all, the resources that the blaze family currently holds are extremely tempting.


    to prevent such an occurrence, blaze regret, at the cost of three dark soul pills, finally persuaded mut yin, this eighth tier spirit lord master, to come to velorian city to hold the fort.


    recalling the scene of the negotiation, blaze regret couldn''t help but feel a headache coming on.


    mut yin was far more stubborn than mut kui. even when master magi was brought up, mut yin remained unmoved, maintaining a cold demeanor that suggested he was utterly fearless.


    this proved that some people in this world can only be persuaded through incentives, not threats, and mut yin was precisely such a person. s~ea??h the n?velfire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "here you go!"


    with a clenched jaw, the elder surnamed soul showed a deep sense of pain in his eyes as he took out the void realms stone from his waist and threw it in blaze regret''s direction.


    catching it, blaze regret scanned it briefly with his spiritual sense and smiled with satisfaction. coming from a significant place, the contents were indeed quite abundant.


    "can we leave now?" soul yin asked coldly, glaring at blaze regret with a voice full of resentment. his disheveled hair made it hard for others not to laugh.


    "and yours?" blaze regret said with a smile, tightening his grip on the elder''s void realms stone.

 Chapter 352 Pawn

    facing blaze regret''s smiling face, soul yin and the others suddenly felt a chill. it dawned on them that from the beginning, blaze regret had no intention of letting them go easily.moreover, a more terrifying thought emerged in their minds: they were probably being used as pawns...


    being the first to confront him, blaze regret wouldn''t let them off easily; otherwise, it would make him appear weak and easy to bully. to prevent such an impression, the only thing awaiting them was the harshest punishment.


    "i''m not going to make it too hard for you. just leave your clothes as a memento for me, and then you can go back."


    blaze regret smiled lightly and then turned to the elder, his smile broadening, "as for you, you''re exempt. i do respect the elderly and cherish the young."


    hearing this, soul yin and the others turned pale as sheets.


    three white figures dashed angrily and embarrassingly down the street, with an elderly man surnamed soul following closely behind, his face ashen. this comical scene became a favorite tale among the people of velorian city for many years.


    with mut yin guarding the family, blaze regret felt at ease. once everything was arranged, he took advantage of the night, seating himself on the broad back of the ice control irenix, and swiftly soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of snow storm city.


    the distant mountains and lands were blanketed in white, akin to crane feathers. from the sky, they looked like a silver ocean of waves.


    "whoosh!"


    the chilly wind blew against him, causing blaze regret''s black hair to become slightly disheveled, and his eyes to squint. meanwhile, red hid inside blaze regret''s clothes, leaving only a furry little head peeking out, eagerly observing the surroundings. s§×ar?h the ¦Çovelfire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    with a flicker in his eyes, blaze regret suddenly drew in a deep breath and let out a loud shout. wrapped in spiritual energy, it echoed in all directions.


    "snow storm city, i, blaze regret, have arrived!"


    standing excitedly on the back of the ice control irenix, blaze regret wore a faint smile. he held great anticipation for this most prosperous city of the sun moon empire, believing it might become a significant turning point in his life.


    "goodbye, velorian city."


    turning his head slightly, blaze regret looked at the town that now appeared as a mere black dot, feeling a bit melancholic. he wondered when he would return to the small town where he had lived for so long.


    "whoosh!"


    red, perched on blaze regret''s collar, lifted its head, playfully exhaled, and a burst of white breath mixed with light snowflakes rose, causing blaze regret''s neck to itch a little.


    "stop it."


    sitting down, blaze regret couldn''t help but laugh as he rubbed red''s head, then with keen interest, he took out the void realm stone belonging to the elderly man surnamed soul. as for the spiritual imprint on it, it took almost no effort to forcibly break through.


    "a first grade pill formula, a dark attribute spirit crystal, a high level lord grade spirit beast puppet..."


    as his spiritual sense gradually scanned through it, blaze regret murmured to himself, and after a while, his eyes suddenly brightened: "this is... a wood attribute spiritual technique?"


    with a joyous exclamation, a book emitting a faint green glow appeared in blaze regret''s hand, emanating a subtle wave of energy.


    "phantom demon grass."


    blaze regret''s gaze quickly skimmed over the book, and a sense of delight surged within him.


    phantom demon grass, a wood attribute spiritual technique, allows one to temporarily condense a patch of pitch black demon grass using spiritual energy, disrupting an opponent''s spirit beast''s vision and thereby creating an opportunity for a swift and unexpected strike.


    with a light chuckle, the phantom demon grass spiritual technique book in blaze regret''s hand suddenly transformed into countless tiny, dazzling light points, merging into his mind.


    although there was another spiritual technique called vine bind in his void realm stone, he had no plans to cultivate it. given his level of spiritual energy, the vine bind he could perform would pale in comparison to kong lingluo''s vines, and it would consume significantly more spiritual energy.


    thus, blaze regret always regarded this somewhat useless spiritual technique as nothing more than a discarded shoe.


    as for the utility of the phantom demon grass, it clearly suited him well. regardless of which spirit beast he teamed it with, it was likely to produce unexpected results.


    therefore, in the following days, except for resting in caves at night, blaze regret spent all his time on the back of the ice control irenix, practicing the phantom demon grass spiritual technique.


    compared to the agonizing process of training for the collapsing rock palm, the phantom demon grass technique was undoubtedly much gentler, yet its difficulty far surpassed the former. even after three days, blaze regret could only manage to condense a patch of pitch black demon grass about a meter in size.


    "fortunately, i had time to practice the new spiritual technique while on the road; otherwise, i wouldn''t have had a chance."


    seated on the back of the ice control irenix, blaze regret bit into an orange red spiritual fruit, gazing helplessly into the distance. after a moment, a faint, delighted smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.


    experience tales at empire


    in the distance, a grand and imposing city gate stood majestically. a dense crowd of people moved like ants through it, and even from afar, the bustling noise could be faintly heard.


    snow storm city had finally arrived!


    with a whoosh, like a stream of pale blue light, the ice control irenix descended rapidly. its wings folded slightly as blaze regret and red slid off its back, landing steadily on the ground.


    several figures walked past blaze regret, casting curious glances at him before continuing on their way.


    every day, countless spirit master come and go in snow storm city, yet no matter how powerful, none dare to fly over its skies. such an act is considered a provocation to the royal family, and those reckless enough to attempt it would face relentless attacks from the city''s guards.

 Chapter 353 Snow Storm City

    "so powerful."with his dark eyes scanning the surroundings, blaze regret felt a slight tremor in his heart. most of the people passing by him possessed the strength of spirit imperial master, with only a few still at the spirit warrior master stage.


    in velorian city, spirit imperial master were rare, but here, they seemed to be everywhere. he hadn''t walked far before encountering a fourth rank spiritual imperial master.


    as for the spirit king powerhouses, he had yet to see any on his journey. such individuals typically do not make casual appearances in snow storm city or its surrounding areas.


    "come to think of it, apart from the few from the jue emperor sect, i''ve never encountered a spirit king powerhouse from the empire."


    looking up at the city gate, where the words "snow storm city" were boldly inscribed, blaze regret displayed a faint smile. he hoped that life in this prosperous ancient city would not be so monotonous.


    "stop right there!"


    just as blaze regret was about to step through the city gate, a soldier suddenly blocked his path with a spear, looking at him with an indifferent expression.


    "what is it?" blaze regret wondered to himself. could this be someone from the kartis family? had his appearance already spread throughout snow storm city?


    "first time entrants must undergo inspection."


    the soldier, still expressionless, walked over and opened his palm. sitting there was a beetle as black as ink. the beetle stared into blaze regret''s dark eyes, and its thin wings behind it suddenly spread open, revealing a clear round mirror between them.


    "what is this?" blaze regret asked curiously, eyeing the beetle.


    "a golden spirit beetle. it can detect unfamiliar auras."


    the soldier''s tone remained indifferent. "from now on, your appearance will be recorded by it. if you cause trouble in the city, you''ll be marked as unwelcome. do it often enough, and you''ll be banned for life."


    upon hearing the soldier''s explanation, blaze regret felt a bit embarrassed. he realized he had been overly sensitive. true, the kartis family had significant influence, but even they couldn''t control everything in snow storm city, and perhaps no one even knew of his arrival yet.


    "sigh, i''m really overestimating myself."


    with a wry smile, blaze regret stepped into snow storm city. under the sunlight amidst the falling snow, he glanced around at the bustling crowd and smiled slightly.


    from now on, let me experience the wonders of this prosperous ancient city.


    on the wide streets, numerous spirit masters and various spirit beasts busily moved back and forth, their hawking voices rising and falling. the streets were lined with diverse shops, presenting an extremely lively scene.


    "whoo!"


    perched on blaze regret''s shoulder, red''s gem like blazing eyes flickered with excitement. everything here was filled with a fresh and vibrant allure for it.


    for the next half day, blaze regret completely relaxed, wandering around with red. clearly, this place was far more interesting than the small town of velorian city.


    "ding!"


    hovering dazedly in front of blaze regret, the ice control irenix flapped its wings, absorbing a pile of spiritual items, including the ice soul stone, into its body. s§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lfire .net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    seeing this scene, blaze regret''s mouth twitched slightly. these ice attribute spiritual items were the result of his half day tour of the surrounding shops, costing him a hefty sum of seven to eight hundred thousand gold coins. in the blink of an eye, they were all consumed. enjoy exclusive content from empire


    "ordinary spirit masters really can''t afford to raise an ice control irenix."


    shaking his head with a smile, blaze regret opened his palm and stored the ice control irenix into the spiritual portal. after refining so many ice attribute spiritual items, the ice control irenix''s strength should rise another level.


    of course, this scene took place in a secluded alley. if others discovered that blaze regret possessed two spirit beasts with different attributes, it would likely cause a great sensation.


    after all, in the entire snow storm city, the only dual source spirit master was the royal monarch, meng tianchen.


    his legend was a long standing topic among many spirit masters in this ancient city, discussed over tea and meals.


    "well, the gold card is empty again."


    holding the empty gold card, blaze regret cursed himself internally several times. in his eagerness to purchase ice attribute spiritual items, he hadn''t even saved a single gold coin for lodging. at this rate, he''d have to make do with sleeping on the streets tonight.


    rubbing a few void realms stones, blaze regret felt a slight sense of relief. fortunately, he had accumulated quite a bit over the years. combined with the items from the elder surnamed soul''s void realms stone, he should be able to exchange them for a considerable amount of wealth.


    however, what frustrated him was the ridiculously low prices offered by the shops here. a pill that could fetch twenty thousand gold coins at bloodstone pass couldn''t even sell for ten thousand here.


    it was clear that the shopkeepers here loved to bargain hard, which explained why so many spirit masters preferred setting up stalls outside.


    "despicable merchants!"


    storming out of a shop, blaze regret wore a look of anger. this particular shop was even more outrageous, offering only eighty thousand gold coins for a tier one pill recipe worth three hundred thousand gold coins.


    if this were bloodstone pass, such a business would likely close down the next day.


    "whoo!"


    perched on blaze regret''s shoulder, red smacked its lips, swinging its cute little tail, and sweetly fell asleep. to it, sleep could come easily, no matter where they were.


    glancing at the crowded street stalls in the distance, blaze regret let out a sigh. relying on himself seemed more reliable; otherwise, dealing with these unscrupulous merchants would leave him with nothing but scraps.


    finding an empty spot, blaze regret was just about to sit down when a scrawny man, thin as a monkey, suddenly opened his eyes. his night owl like gaze fixed intently on blaze regret.

 Chapter 354 Law Of Jungle

    "Dare to set up a stall here? Did you ask me first?"The man spoke calmly, and immediately, the eyes of the surrounding vendors shifted towards them. Seeing that Blaze Regret appeared to be nothing more than a naive young man, they couldn''t help but feel a tinge of sympathy.


    This boy probably didn''t know the fearsome reputation of Lin Dan. The last person who dared to sit beside him could no longer do so.


    That''s because Lin Dan had brutally broken his legs in the most merciless way. Your next chapter is on empire


    "Eh?"


    At this moment, a young girl in a red dress passing by turned her curious gaze towards them. Her lively, watery eyes held a peculiar sparkle as she stared at the Red perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Her pure face, while not exceptionally beautiful, had a comforting quality that put anyone who saw her at ease.


    Of course, what drew the most attention were her slender, jade like legs, which captured the gaze of many men, making it difficult for them to look away.


    Blaze Regret, however, didn''t notice the girl behind him, as his night black eyes were still fixed on Lin Dan''s shadowy face.


    "So, may I use this spot?"


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret sheepishly scratched his head and asked with a dry laugh.


    Hearing this, the passersby and the vendors nearby were all dizzy with disbelief. Was this young man trying to provoke Lin Dan? Given the latter''s notorious behavior, Blaze Regret might never see the light of day again.


    "Are you talking to me?" Lin Dan was evidently taken aback for a moment, and then his expression quickly darkened.


    "Yes," replied Blaze Regret, still maintaining a shy demeanor.


    Looking at Blaze Regret''s somewhat youthful face, the surrounding vendors sighed inwardly. Where did this naive youngster come from, unaware of the most formidable person on this street?


    The young girl in red blinked her lively eyes, a playful expression appearing on her charming face. Although she was somewhat famous in Snow storm City and quite prominent among the younger generation, she sensed a faint hint of danger emanating from this young man.


    It was a sensation she had only felt from a few individuals.


    "Heh, if you want to set up a stall here, that''s certainly possible."


    Standing up, Lin Dan fixed his cold, icy gaze on Blaze Regret. A sinister and grim smile slowly emerged at the corner of his mouth: "As long as you can survive my fists."


    Five fingers clenched abruptly, and a trace of cold air swirled around the iron fist. Lin Dan''s gaze was icy as he launched a punch, its ferocious power tearing through the air in front of him.


    In an instant, the breath of everyone around them stopped.


    In the next moment, the young boy''s delicate face would likely be obliterated.


    As the massive, frost laden fist came crashing, Blaze Regret bowed his head slightly, sighing gently. Then, slowly, he raised his hand.


    "Boom!"


    At the moment of contact, a fierce and unparalleled force surged, sweeping away the items on the stall beneath Lin Dan and sending them flying into the distance. The faces of the surrounding vendors were filled with shock.


    The young boy had actually withstood Lin Dan''s punch?


    "I didn''t expect the law of the jungle, where the weak are prey to the strong, to still exist in Snow storm City. It is something I cannot change."


    Raising his head slowly, Blaze Regret''s cold eyes locked onto Lin Dan''s astonished face. "But I''ve already shown restraint. Why must you force me?"


    "Crack!"


    With a slight exertion of force from Blaze Regret''s hand, Lin Dan''s fist, which contained immense power, began to slowly deflate like cotton under the terrified gazes of the onlookers.


    "Ah!"


    A piercing scream shattered the air.


    Lin Dan''s heart wrenching scream echoed in the air, stunning the expressions of all the vendors around. When they looked at Blaze Regret''s emotionless face, their hearts trembled. Lin Dan, who was a seventh tier spirit Imperial master, had no room for resistance in front of him.


    More terrifying was the ruthlessness of this young man, which was no less than that of Lin Dan. Even the bystanders couldn''t help but shudder when they saw Lin Dan''s twisted fist.


    "Boom!"


    With a lift of his foot, Blaze Regret delivered a side kick. A muffled sound was heard as Lin Dan''s body was propelled backward by the fierce force, slamming hard against the wall.


    "Spurt!"


    Blood sprayed from his mouth as Lin Dan looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief. Intense fear, like rampant weeds, rapidly grew and tangled in his heart.


    "What tremendous strength."


    The girl in red, with beautiful eyes, gazed at the silver aura emanating from Blaze Regret''s fist. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She then turned her gaze to Lin Dan''s dislocated fist, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.


    Although she could also defeat Lin Dan, doing so as effortlessly as Blaze Regret did would be quite challenging.


    With a calm expression, Blaze Regret shook his wrist slightly, his eyes lowered. Then, with a swift kick, Lin Dan''s belongings, wrapped in a piece of black cloth, fell in front of the latter.


    Lin Dan''s lips moved slightly, but his face ultimately turned gloomy. He leaned against the wall in silence, dejected.


    After years of running rampant on this street, today he had finally hit a hard wall.


    Ignoring the dejected Lin Dan behind him, Blaze Regret laid out a clean white cloth at the best spot on the street and sat down cross legged as if no one else were there. The nearby vendors quickly shifted away, afraid that Blaze Regret might suddenly lash out at them.


    Regarding the reactions of those around him, Blaze Regret''s face displayed an indifferent demeanor, yet inside, he felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. His principle had always been not to provoke others unless provoked, but once he did explode, the resulting deterrent was exceptionally powerful.

 Chapter 355 Strange Fruit

    "A seventh tier spirit Imperial master, quite impressive. I wonder which family this prodigy belongs to. At such a young age, to possess such strength, he can already be compared to the likes of Zon Gengshi and Fin Shan," mused the girl in red, her delicate fingers resting on her lips as she watched Blaze Regret with a flicker of interest in her eyes.If others heard this, it would undoubtedly cause a stir. Zon Gengshi and Fin Shan were prominent figures in Snow Storm City, and as long as they didn''t fall, they were certain to have a place on the future list of spirit king experts in the Sun Moon Empire. Yet this young man could be compared to them?


    After a brief contemplation, Blaze Regret took out all the void realms stones from his waist and placed everything on his stall, except for a few items he was reluctant to trade. These items no longer held any value for him in his current state.


    As each item was displayed, the eyes of the surrounding vendors widened, their expressions turning increasingly astonished.


    "First grade pill formula, third grade spiritual medicine, and so many spiritual items... My gosh, where on earth did this lad come from?"


    Astonished gazes congregated on Blaze Regret''s stall, the peculiar and rare items leaving many in a state of disbelief.


    Upon inspecting their own stalls, the vendors flushed with embarrassment; compared to Blaze Regret''s offerings, their goods seemed like trash.


    "This pill, forty thousand gold coins."


    With the first item successfully traded, Blaze Regret found subsequent transactions much easier. For many, the items on his stall were valuable treasures, so within just half an hour, over half of his items had been successfully traded.


    As Blaze Regret reached out to retrieve a scattered spiritual fruit back to the center of his stall, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted over. His gaze lifted slightly, and a pair of long, shapely legs came into view. The perfect curves momentarily caught even his composed temperament off guard.


    "May I help you with something?" he inquired.


    Blaze Regret lifted his face, a gentle smile playing at the corners of his mouth.


    Before him stood a young woman dressed in an exquisite red outfit. Her slender figure was such that it might easily provoke certain imaginations. Most striking of all, however, was the intricate red lotus mark at the center of her forehead. This vivid red lotus accentuated her fair and innocent face, subtly imbuing it with an enchanting allure.


    It was Blaze Regret''s first time encountering a woman who could seamlessly blend two contrasting qualities, which momentarily left him slightly dazed. As for the surrounding passersby and vendors, their gazes were already fixed on the young woman''s stunning face.


    The young woman was slightly surprised to see Blaze Regret regain his composure so quickly. Some of the empire''s elites would love nothing more than to gaze at her indefinitely, yet this man seemed entirely unmoved. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I''m quite interested in this piece of black clay," the young woman remarked.


    Her delicate finger pointed lightly at the black flame clay beside Blaze Regret''s hand. A faint, almost imperceptible heat emanated from it, causing the surrounding air to appear somewhat distorted.


    "Five thousand gold coins," Blaze Regret replied, slightly raising his brow as he named a price that wasn''t particularly high. If he were to refine the black flame clay himself, it would require materials costing around a thousand gold coins. Selling it, however, could instantly increase its value several times over, which is why alchemists were often considered to have one of the most lucrative professions on the continent.


    "I want its refining method," the girl in red said, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Blaze Regret with an expectant expression. Her seemingly pitiable demeanor was something few men could resist, especially a young man like Blaze Regret, full of youthful vigor.


    "No sale," Blaze Regret responded without a moment''s hesitation, his answer crisp and definitive.


    Hearing this unyielding refusal, the young woman was taken aback, momentarily losing her composure. She had, quite unexpectedly, been turned down.


    As Blaze Regret''s straightforward response echoed, the faces of the surrounding crowd twitched slightly. Were it not for Lin Dan''s recent example, they might have immediately gathered around to give Blaze Regret a beating.


    Ignoring the sentiments of such a beauty, he certainly lacked appreciation for it!


    Facing the young woman before him, who was pouting and looking aggrieved, Blaze Regret only shrugged innocently. The formula for the black flame clay was too precious. Used correctly, it could yield a substantial return. After all, such a formula capable of aiding the growth of fire elemental spiritual beasts had yet to appear anywhere else in the Sun Moon Empire.


    Lightly biting her lip, the girl stared intently at Blaze Regret, who met her gaze without fear. After a moment, she finally sighed softly, admitting defeat.


    "I really wonder if you''re even a man," she muttered in a huff. Her hand brushed over a void realm stone, revealing a fruit shaped like a fire Cat in her soft palm. "Otherwise, how about I trade this with you?" Find your next read on empire


    As his gaze swept over it, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes suddenly lit up with interest.


    A strangely shaped red fruit lay quietly in the delicate palm of the young girl, emanating a fiery aura that caused the sleeping Red to suddenly open its eyes wide.


    "This fruit was originally just an ordinary Blazing Flame Fruit. However, a few days ago, a Three Tailed Red Cat perished beneath its tree, and all its essence was absorbed by the spirit tree. This caused the Blazing Flame Fruit to mutate. I believe that once your fire Cat refines it, the effect will far surpass that of other fire type spiritual beasts."


    The girl in red looked at the fruit in her palm with a hint of reluctance.


    For her, this mutated Blazing Flame Fruit, although beneficial, seemed less important compared to the recipe for Black Flame Mud. After all, there was only one fruit, whereas Black Flame Mud could be endlessly refined.

 Chapter 356 Soul An

    Gazing at the Cat shaped fruit, Red couldn''t help but wipe its mouth, then looked eagerly at Blaze Regret, whose expression was one of amusement."I can give you the recipe, but you must promise me that under no circumstances will you reveal its origin to anyone." Blaze Regret lifted his head, staring directly into the girl''s water like eyes.


    "You are indeed cautious." The girl in red smiled slightly, her soft, boneless hand extending towards Blaze Regret.


    "Pleasure doing business."


    Blaze Regret also smiled as he handed over the recipe for Black Flame Mud. The girl in red quickly and happily grabbed it, her extraordinarily soft hand inevitably brushing against Blaze Regret''s palm.


    Feeling the gentle touch, Blaze Regret felt a slight itch in his heart and couldn''t help but think that when this girl grows up, she will certainly become a captivating figure.


    "By the way, you''re a Seventh Rank Spirit Imperial Master, aren''t you?"


    Carefully placing the recipe into the Void Realm Stone, the girl in red suddenly leaned forward, her pure yet enchanting face just an inch away from Blaze Regret''s nose.


    Seeing this, all the surrounding male spirit masters were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could kick Blaze Regret aside and enjoy such treatment themselves.


    Only Lin Dan, who was leaning against the wall, lowered his head with a complex expression. Others might not know the girl''s background, but he was well aware that even some powerful spiritual masters were usually not regarded by her.


    "That''s right."


    Smelling the subtle fragrance before him, Blaze Regret awkwardly leaned back, his earlobes uncontrollably beginning to flush red. Although he had encountered many beautiful women over the years, this was the first time he felt utterly at a loss.


    "Are you interested in joining me in the future? In Snow Storm City, I can offer quite a bit of protection," the young girl said, blinking her bright eyes. It seemed that any normal man would find it hard to refuse her offer.


    However, to her surprise, Blaze Regret shook his head without hesitation.


    "Sorry, I don''t have any plans to join any faction at the moment," Blaze Regret replied with a dry laugh.


    "Fine, I won''t force you," the girl said with a practiced air of maturity, despite being about the same age as Blaze Regret. She generously waved her hand. "If you ever run into trouble, you can come to the Angsana Pavillion for help, just say you''re looking for Alif Dee, and I''ll show up."


    With that, the girl in red turned away without hesitation, walking off with a flair. Yet, only she knew how frustrated she truly felt; being rejected twice in one day was a significant blow to her usually proud heart.


    If this were to become known to the city''s elite, Blaze Regret''s life might become quite difficult.


    "Beauty is trouble," Blaze Regret muttered softly, not taking the girl''s words to heart. If he ever did seek help from the Angsana Pavillion, he knew the favor would be a complicated one to repay.


    He never believed in free lunches. For talents like himself, powerful factions naturally wanted to recruit them, much like the Kartis Family''s assessment, which was conducted with such intentions.


    "Wait, Angsana Pavillion, Alif Dee?" Suddenly realizing something, Blaze Regret''s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the distant, graceful red figure. So all along, this young girl was from the Angsana Pavillion?


    And even more importantly, her surname was Alif?


    Coming back to his senses, Blaze Regret felt a bit helpless. Had he known earlier, he might have simply given the recipe for Black Flame Mud to her as a goodwill gesture. In Velorian City, he had often benefited from the Angsana Pavillion and Alif Azfar.


    However, about a year ago, Alif Azfar seemed to have left Velorian City, and he wasn''t sure where the Angsana Pavillion had reassigned her.


    Nonetheless, this did not diminish Blaze Regret''s gratitude towards her.


    "Thinking about it, there''s only a month left until the Kartis Family''s assessment," Blaze Regret mused, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.


    The Kartis Family''s assessment was reputedly held within the Kartis Family''s ancient grounds, a completely independent space filled with a primordial aura, and it could only be accessed once every three years. Moreover, the entry point was entirely random each time, which meant that anyone who entered had a fair chance of encountering great opportunities. Such a potential leap in fortune was highly enticing to all the young people of Snow Storm City, except for those already belonging to major powers or influential families.


    Continue reading at empire


    More importantly, those who performed exceptionally well in the ancient grounds might even be accepted into the Kartis Family, gaining access to abundant cultivation resources.


    These prospects were enough to make many young people, driven by ambition, rush headlong into the opportunity.


    "The chance for revenge is almost here," Blaze Regret murmured with a faint smile, gently stroking the fur of Red, which was clutching the strangely shaped scarlet fruit in its paws. A cold gleam flashed in its eyes as it nodded heavily.


    From the moment it was born, Red witnessed Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf injuring Blaze Regret, so for it, Kartis Van and his dazzling, thunderous wolf were unforgivable enemies.


    "Soul An is coming, quickly pack up!" Suddenly, as Blaze Regret was lost in thought, the surrounding vendors began to panic. With anxious expressions, they hurriedly packed their more valuable items into Void Realm Stones.

    Leaning against the wall with an expressionless face, Lin Dan looked at Blaze Regret''s back and slowly said, "You''d better pack up your stall immediately, or you''re going to have trouble."


    Hearing Lin Dan''s voice, Blaze Regret was initially taken aback, then his brow furrowed slightly.


    Trouble?


    "It''s too late," Lin Dan remarked as he saw Blaze Regret remain unmoved. He gently shook his head, then looked down with an indifferent expression at the ground beneath him, where several small cracks were visible.

 Chapter 357 Soul An 2

    The next moment, a young man with a frivolous demeanor strolled out from the alleyway, a satisfied look on his face as his gaze swept over the vendors'' stalls."This fruit looks good, I''ll take it." The young man named Soul An smiled as he bent down to pick up a fist sized fruit from a stall, with faint electric sparks flickering on it. It was a Thunder Source Fruit, a third grade spiritual herb that could make the spiritual power within thunder type spirit beasts more pure and violent.


    Seeing Soul An take the Thunder Source Fruit without hesitation, the vendor forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart. His actions were ultimately a step too slow.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, Soul An''s eyes, filled with a sinister smile, shifted to another vendor. Instantly, the latter''s face turned exceptionally panicked, and a purple red pill rolled to the ground. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Purple Soul Pill?"


    Slowly bending down, Soul An stared at the pill for a while, a look of realization appearing on his face. Then, maintaining his bent posture, he cast a malicious glance at the vendor. "Why are you so scared? Do you think I''m going to eat you?"


    The vendor''s heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. Having lived here for so long, he was well aware of how terrifying Soul An truly was.


    If Blaze Regret''s disabling of Lin Dan could be described as ruthless, then Soul An could only be considered utterly inhumane.


    After all, Blaze Regret was forced to defend himself, whereas Soul An acted on his whims, doing things without reason. One moment, he might be chatting happily with someone, and the next, he could be pressing that person''s head to the ground with his palm.


    Thus, in these streets, Soul An''s perverse behavior was almost universally known.


    "A member of the Soul family." Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. It turned out that the Soul family was near the entrance of Snow Storm City, which explained why they replaced the Kartis family to go to Ancient Sun City.


    "The Purple Soul Pill, now that''s a good thing."


    Talking to himself, Soul An reached out to pick up the pill, carefully wiped it off, and then stood up with a smile, handing the Purple Soul Pill back to the vendor with a gentle tone: "Put it away."


    The vendor was momentarily stunned by these words, reflexively taking the Purple Soul Pill. His actions were now completely out of his brain''s control, as the intense fear had already disturbed his thinking.


    When he felt the smooth touch of the Purple Soul Pill, he was shocked and widened his eyes. Since when was Soul An so easy to deal with? He originally thought that not only would the pill be snatched away, but he would also suffer a severe beating.


    Witnessing this scene, the surrounding vendors couldn''t help but swallow nervously, moistening their somewhat dry throats. The development seemed to be quite unexpected.


    The vendor gave Soul An a grateful glance and hurriedly attempted to store the Purple Soul Pill in his spatial stone.


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling uneasy about the vendor''s behavior. It was merely reclaiming his own item, yet he displayed such a tearfully grateful expression.


    "Wait."


    Just as the Purple Soul Pill in the vendor''s hand was about to touch the Void Realms stone, Soul An''s calm voice suddenly rang out again: "When I said to put it away, I didn''t mean into the void realms stone."


    Upon hearing this, the vendor''s hand froze in place, not daring to move, with a slightly bewildered look on his face.


    "This Purple Soul Pill is a rare item. To prevent waste, you should consume it. That way, it won''t accidentally fall to the ground again," Soul An said with a smile.


    As these words were spoken, everyone''s expressions changed dramatically. For spirit beasts, the Purple Soul Pill was indeed a great tonic, but if a spirit master were to swallow it, the violent spiritual power contained within could cause unbearable pain.


    "What? You don''t want to give me face?" Soul An''s smile gradually faded, and a hint of coldness crept into his voice.


    Beads of cold sweat appeared on the vendor''s forehead. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the Purple Soul Pill in one gulp. Instantly, his face turned extremely red, his eyes filled with blood, and scarlet veins spread, making him appear particularly ferocious.


    "Ah!"


    Finally unable to endure any longer, the vendor collapsed to the ground in pain, letting out a heart wrenching scream that sent a shiver down the spines of those who heard it.


    "Heh heh."


    Observing the scene, Soul An''s lips curled into a grin, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were thoroughly enjoying the sound.


    Sitting cross legged on the ground, Blaze Regret''s gaze was icy. Over the years, he had encountered many with twisted minds, but someone as brazen as Soul An was a first.


    He was merely a ninth rank spirit warrior Master. Among those present, many were stronger than him. If it weren''t for the Soul family backing him, he might not even know how he would meet his end.


    Moreover, even within a third rate family like the Soul family, someone like him would only be at the bottom. It''s baffling where he found the confidence to act so recklessly.


    "Such a racket," Soul An muttered.


    Seemingly tired of the noise, he slowly opened his eyes, looking straight ahead. His foot, however, stomped down hard, with enough force to knock the vendor unconscious. Continue your journey on empire


    A chill spread through Blaze Regret''s eyes. Although he greatly disliked this scene, he had no intention of intervening. After all, he wasn''t some savior. Such incidents occurred daily in various places, and he couldn''t possibly address them all.


    Furthermore, even if he were to teach Soul An a lesson, what would change? He could walk away unscathed, but the Soul family wouldn''t let it go.

 Chapter 358 Soul An 3

    If they couldn''t find him, they would likely redirect their wrath onto the vendor, resulting in a fate much worse than now.Soul An''s gaze, filled with a smug smile, swept over the crowd. Seeing the vendors lowering their heads, he felt immensely satisfied. In the Soul family, due to his lack of strength, he held no position, so flaunting his authority outside was a source of happiness for him.


    "Ah, a new face," Soul An remarked.


    When his eyes fell on Blaze Regret, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Teaching newcomers always brought him a unique sense of enjoyment.


    His gaze continued to roam, and he was suddenly filled with endless delight and greed. The items on Blaze Regret''s stall were exceptionally valuable.


    With a broad smile, Soul An approached Blaze Regret, who was sitting with his eyes half closed. Rubbing his chin, he feigned seriousness and said, "Little brother, this street is Soul family territory. To maintain order here, it would be best if I took care of your items."


    Hearing this, several eyes around them looked at Blaze Regret with a hint of sympathy, as if to say he was about to suffer a heavy loss.


    However, under Soul An''s cheerful gaze, Blaze Regret remained with his eyes partially closed. After a moment, he uttered a single word, devoid of any emotion. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Scram!"


    When Blaze Regret''s calm voice spread through the street, everyone''s expressions turned incredulously rigid. In Soul An''s eyes, there was a sinister chill slowly emerging, like a sharp sword aiming to pierce through Blaze Regret.


    Soul An had dominated this street for years, and it was the first time someone dared to disrespect him like this, because he represented the face of the Soul Family. Insulting him was akin to insulting the entire Soul Family.


    "You lowly commoner, do you know what you''re saying?"


    Soul An''s face twisted with rage, and he suddenly reached out. A bluish wind wrapped around his fingertips, emanating a sharp aura that slowly spread out.


    "Die!"


    With a shout filled with anger, Soul An''s right hand clawed towards Blaze Regret''s eyes like an eagle''s talon, seemingly intent on gouging them out directly.


    Seeing Soul An''s cruel attack, many people''s eyes twitched. How deep must the hatred be to warrant such a vicious strike?


    "You Soul Family members are indeed quite domineering."


    With a flash of coldness in his eyes, Blaze Regret suddenly stood up. His steady and powerful hand clasped Soul An''s wrist firmly in his palm.


    "Let go!"


    Struggling hard but to no avail, Soul An''s face grew even darker. Just a lowly person with no background dared to lay hands on him; when he returned, he would certainly report to the clan elders to have this boy skinned.


    "Let go?"


    With a slight smirk, Blaze Regret looked coldly at Soul An. The chill in his eyes caused the latter''s face to tremble uncontrollably. This kind of gaze seemed to belong only to those ruthless enough to have countless lives in their hands.


    "That''s right, let me go now, and I can overlook your offense. Furthermore, all your belongings must be mine. On the Soul Family''s turf, everything belongs to us. If I want to confiscate it, you must hand it all over." Soul An mustered his courage, staring straight into Blaze Regret''s eyes, his voice firm.


    From beginning to end, he never truly believed Blaze Regret dared to act.


    After all, an eighth tier spirit Lord master resided in the Soul Family, and to kill these itinerant cultivators would require nothing more than a casual command.


    "The Soul Family''s territory?"


    Blaze Regret sneered. Not to mention the Soul Family, even the powerful royal family wouldn''t dare to claim that the city of Snow Storm was their domain. At the root of it, they could only be considered the guardians of this ancient city.


    Though they were undoubtedly the strongest among them.


    "It seems that the stability over the years has given the Soul Family immense confidence."


    With a sudden sharpness in his eyes, Blaze Regret''s hand abruptly flung downwards, slamming Soul An''s face hard into the ground. The loud sound that followed caused the expressions of those around to change dramatically.


    "Bang!"


    Blaze Regret lifted his foot and mercilessly stomped on Soul An''s face, looking down at him with indifference. His demeanor mirrored the way Soul An had previously tormented that vendor.


    "You want to die!" Soul An shouted, his face nearly splitting with humiliation and rage.


    "Get lost!"


    With a powerful kick, a muffled sound echoed as Soul An''s body was sent skidding along the rough, uneven rocky ground, only coming to a slow stop after sliding several dozen meters.


    Watching the dust covered Soul An, everyone silently swallowed, their eyes filled with shock. Though Soul An was somewhat useless, he was still a member of the Soul Family. This young man might have enjoyed his moment of defiance, but he was about to face significant trouble.


    "Ugh!"


    Soul An lay on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth like a beaten dog, his eyes staring blankly at the sky as the blood trickled slowly from the corners of his mouth. Read latest stories on empire


    After a moment, Soul An finally regained a sliver of strength and shakily stood up.


    "My Spirit Portal!"


    Feeling the shattered Spirit Portal within him, Soul An''s face twisted with rage as he looked at Blaze Regret, his furious roar echoing like thunder.


    Blaze Regret calmly brushed the dust from his fists, his hands behind his back, and watched Soul An with eyes as still as water. The fact that Soul An was still alive was a result of Blaze Regret deliberately holding back.


    After all, in Snow Storm City, there was still order. One could engage in combat, but killing openly was forbidden, as the city guards on the walls were constantly watching.


    "I didn''t expect this kid to actually dare make a move."

 Chapter 359 Soul An 4

    Atop the city wall, a seemingly cheerful middle aged man gazed down with interest. His eyes lingered on Blaze Regret for a long time before slowly shifting away.This man, named Lai Hon, was the overseer of this section of the wall and possessed the formidable strength of a ninth tier spirit Lord master.


    Although there was still a gap between him and Mut Kui, who had been at the ninth-tier spiritual master level for years, Lai Hon was considered the strongest in this area. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be entrusted with guarding such a crucial position in Snow Storm City. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Indeed."


    Standing beside Lai Hon was a young man dressed in simple attire. He stared intently at Blaze Regret, and after a long moment, he exhaled softly. "No wonder he seemed familiar; he''s that man''s son."


    "Zon Gengshi, the Flame Emperor is your idol, isn''t he? Seeing his descendant, don''t you have anything to say?" Lai Hon turned to tease the young man beside him.


    "His fists might match mine, but his overall strength is too weak. A seventh tier spirit Imperial master can barely compete with the likes of Kartis Van. He and that person are on completely different levels."


    At this point, a fervent passion appeared in Zon Gengshi''s eyes. The Flame Emperor, who traversed the empire, was his lifelong aspiration. He didn''t even dare to refer to him by name, always referring to him as "that person."


    In his heart, no one was worthy of uttering that man''s name or title.


    Even Lai Hon, a ninth tier spirit Lord master beside him, was no exception.


    "Don''t forget, his age and cultivation resources are nowhere near what the Flame Emperor had back then," Lai Hon remarked with a sigh. Discover hidden content at empire


    "That''s no excuse. The cultivation resources were something that person fought for himself. He started as nothing more than a servant of the Kartis family, yet he rose powerfully, even suppressing the strongest in the entire Sun Moon Empire and forcing them back for miles," Zon Gengshi took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions.


    In Snow Storm City, countless people regarded that man as a legend, and Zon Gengshi was among the most fervent admirers.


    "By the way, you''re about to break through to the fifth tier spirit Lord master, aren''t you?" Lai Hon said with a smile.


    To achieve such accomplishments at his age, Zon Gengshi was indeed one of the most dazzling talents in Snow Storm City. Even some family elders were far less formidable than he was.


    "In seven days."


    Zon Gengshi replied, then lowered his gaze, looking intently at Blaze Regret and murmured softly, "You better not disappoint me. In the Kartis family assessment, if you dare lose to Kartis Van, I will personally deal with you."


    Soul An''s roar, filled with intense killing intent, echoed continuously. The once bustling street fell silent instantly, and everyone''s eyelids couldn''t help but twitch, yet no one dared to break the heavy atmosphere with a word.


    "You have a quarter of an hour left. After that, if you wish to seek revenge, you won''t have the chance." Blaze Regret glanced indifferently at Soul An, whose face was twisted with anger, then turned around to tidy up the chaotic items on his stall.


    His chest heaving slightly with anger, Soul An glared fiercely at Blaze Regret''s back, then turned away with a sinister expression, disappearing at the end of the street.


    Witnessing this scene, many people exchanged glances, and then their incredulous gazes gathered on the unperturbed Blaze Regret. They were not fools and began to speculate about Blaze Regret''s background.


    Could he be a prodigy hidden by some powerful faction? Otherwise, how could he dare to treat a member of the Soul Family so unceremoniously?


    After placing the last spiritual fruit into the void realms stone, Blaze Regret stood up calmly. Had they been outside the Snow Storm City, he would never have given Soul An the chance to live, let alone allow him to return and call for reinforcements.


    But here, the most important rule was to not kill under the sun, to prevent causing panic.


    As for why the rule emphasized not killing under the sun, that was another matter worth pondering.


    "Aren''t you afraid that the Soul Family will hold a grudge against you?" Lin Dan shrugged his shoulders to make himself more comfortable, then looked at Blaze Regret with a frown.


    "It doesn''t matter if they hold a grudge against me. What matters is that I''ve already held a grudge against them," Blaze Regret said with a hint of coldness in his voice.


    More than a decade ago, during that large scale siege, the head of the Soul Family, Soul Lin, was among the most aggressive. He took the opportunity to strike a vicious blow when Blaze Ash was heavily injured and fell. Otherwise, how could the Kartis family have favored the Soul Family so much over the years?


    "You are formidable."


    Lin Dan, staring at Blaze Regret''s face, which still had a hint of youthfulness, remained silent for a long time before finally squeezing out a few words. He considered himself ruthless, but compared to Blaze Regret, he was far behind.


    "Oh, this Hundred Healing Pill can treat your right hand. After taking and refining it, your hand will heal within three days." Blaze Regret, as if talking to himself, waved his hand, sending a gust of wind towards Lin Dan.


    "Snap!"


    Clutching the Hundred Healing Pill tightly in his intact left hand, Lin Dan found his gaze fixated on it. The Hundred Healing Pill, a third grade elixir, was renowned for its potent healing properties. Each pill cost a minimum of fifty thousand gold coins, and even then, it was often unavailable on the market. Only spirit masters with connections to third grade alchemists had a chance of obtaining one.


    Yet Blaze Regret had handed it over so casually?


    Though Lin Dan''s transactions in this place could amount to a hundred thousand gold coins daily,

 Chapter 360 Sound Attribute

    His actual profit was only around two thousand gold coins, with the constant risk of unexpected incidents. To him, a third grade elixir was incredibly precious."Thank you," Lin Dan said, looking up with a complex expression at Blaze Regret.


    "There''s no need to thank me. You wanted my life, and I crippled your hand; that''s only fair. You warned me earlier, and I gave you the pill; now we''re even," Blaze Regret replied, shaking his head as he turned to walk away.


    After today''s transactions, Blaze Regret wouldn''t have to worry about gold coins for quite some time.


    "You''re leaving?" Lin Dan asked, slightly surprised. Wasn''t he supposed to wait for a quarter of an hour? Leaving now seemed like a subtle admission of defeat or an escape.


    "I never said I would wait here for them," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile, glancing back at Lin Dan.


    Lin Dan''s mouth twitched slightly as he silently critiqued Blaze Regret''s audacity. Yet, it was precisely this kind of person who could survive in the long run. Recklessly showing off strength was the folly of a fool.


    Turning his head, Lin Dan watched Blaze Regret''s silhouette disappear around the corner. His eyes flickered rapidly before he finally clenched his teeth, swallowed the Hundred Healing Pill, and followed suit.


    As Lin Dan departed, the other vendors were left astonished. What they didn''t know was that Lin Dan would never again appear on this street.


    "Sigh, these days are really hard to bear," one vendor lamented, looking at the pile of goods before him. Without setting up stalls here, there were no customers. They couldn''t afford to rent proper shops, so they resorted to this method. Not only was the environment poor, but they also had to endure occasional bullying from people like Soul An.


    "Rustle, rustle..."


    With his face partially concealed by a black robe, Blaze Regret walked calmly forward, the soft rustle of his footsteps echoing through the quiet alley.


    "Why are you following me?" Blaze Regret asked in an indifferent tone, his eyes fixed straight ahead.


    "You''re a third grade alchemist, aren''t you?" Lin Dan hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively in a low voice.


    "That''s correct." Blaze Regret nodded slightly. Revealing his identity as a third grade alchemist posed no disadvantage to him. Unlike in Blood Stone Pass, there was no need to hide his value in this place.


    "A third grade alchemist, indeed."


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s confirmation, Lin Dan''s eyes flickered. In Snow Storm City, a third grade alchemist''s status far surpassed that of a ninth level spirit Lord master like Soul Lin. Granting a favor could easily persuade a spirit master of the same level to act, explaining why Blaze Regret showed no fear of the Soul Family.


    In this ancient city, there were over a hundred different factions, and the Soul Family was merely in the middle tier. Although Mut Kui of the Five Demon Halls was only a ninth level spirit Lord master, the gap between the eighth and ninth levels was not as simple as it might seem.


    Typically, it would take years for someone to advance from an eighth level to a ninth level spirit Lord master, with a significant risk of failure. To break through to the Spirit King level, one had to rely on talent or luck. Some ninth level spirit Lord masters remained stuck at that level for life, unable to progress even a small step further.


    Mut Kui, however, showed signs of breaking through to the Spirit King level, which allowed him to be considered a second rate force even in Snow Storm City.


    "You don''t intend to follow me, do you?"


    Stopping in his tracks, Blaze Regret looked at Lin Dan with a faint smile. A seventh level spirit Imperial master seemed to lack the value needed for acceptance.


    Lin Dan''s eyes flickered slightly as he bit his lip and spoke with determination, "Actually, others only know that I''m an ice attribute spirit master, but I have a second attribute."


    As he spoke, Lin Dan opened his palm, and a faint cyan summoning array was quickly sketched in the air. In an instant, a bat with long ears emerged from it, its wings vibrating with a peculiar humming sound.


    "Sound attribute!" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted slightly, and for the first time, a ripple appeared in his calm heart.


    Lin Dan was unexpectedly a dual source spirit Imperial master, with his second attribute being the extremely rare sound attribute! While Blaze Regret was still absorbing this revelation, two figures with somber expressions suddenly strode onto the street they had just left.


    "Brother Yin, that''s them!" Soul An gritted his teeth and pointed, but his expression changed abruptly when he realized that Blaze Regret''s figure had already vanished.


    Standing beside him was Soul Yin.


    "Ran away, did he?"


    Soul Yin sneered disdainfully. "Turns out he''s just a coward. Daring to provoke someone from my Soul Family, he clearly doesn''t understand the meaning of danger. I''ve given you my sound transmission mark. Over the next few days, keep watch around here. If you spot him, notify me immediately. I''ll make sure he pays a price a hundred times worse than yours."


    "Thank you, Brother Yin."


    Soul An''s eyes gleamed with sudden delight as he lowered his head with a cold smile. "Kid, you better hope I don''t encounter you. Otherwise, you''ll get a taste of how terrifying the true prodigy of the Soul Family can be."


    The biting cold wind howled as it swept through, leaving the sky and streets painted in dull hues. Crystal clear ice hung from the branches, resembling blossoming clusters of silver flowers.


    "My sound attributed spirit beast is called the Morning Sound Bat. It can passively listen to sounds within a thousand meter radius. Because of this, I''ve always kept my dual attribute spirit master identity a secret," Lin Dan said with a wry smile.


    Gazing at the Morning Sound Bat, which was flicking its ears, Blaze Regret nodded silently. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 361 Reveal

    If the powerful figures knew that all their words were being overheard by Lin Dan, the latter might meet a grim fate."Moreover, if my Morning Sound Bat uses its spiritual skill, the Morning Sky Sound, it can cover an area of ten thousand meter, making it difficult even for a Spirit Sovereign expert to detect," Lin Dan continued, a hint of pride appearing on his face.


    Gently stroking his chin, Blaze Regret nodded in admiration. This was practically a divine skill. He hadn''t expected to encounter such a sound attributed spirit beast on his first day in Snow Storm City.


    Looking up at Lin Dan, Blaze Regret squinted slightly. Statistically speaking, only one in a million might become a sound attributed spirit master, and this guy was indeed fortunate.


    "So, regarding the secrets within Snow Storm City, I can''t say I know everything, but I can grasp about eighty to ninety percent."


    After speaking, Lin Dan exhaled deeply. Over the years, he had painstakingly hidden his abilities, and now finally finding someone to confide in was undeniably relieving.


    "What about the secrets from over a decade ago? How much do you know?" Blaze Regret asked slowly.


    "Similarly, about eighty to ninety percent," Lin Dan replied with a delighted smile. It seemed Blaze Regret was clearly intrigued by his abilities.


    "And regarding that major encirclement?" Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Lin Dan.


    "The major encirclement... what major encirclement..."


    The smile on Lin Dan''s face instantly froze, replaced by deep fear. He then raised his head, looking at Blaze Regret with a pale expression.


    The earth shattering battle from over a decade ago might not be widely known, but having lived in Snow Storm City for thirty years, he could remember even the slightest mention from prominent families.


    However, upon realizing the magnitude of that event, he was so terrified that he refrained from using the Morning Sound Bat''s abilities for half a year.


    To think that so many forces participated in the siege against the Flame Emperor!


    And among those forces, even a single powerful figure could easily kill him dozens of times over.


    "Are you very afraid?" Blaze Regret asked softly, his brows slightly furrowed.


    "Apart from that matter, I can tell you everything else," Lin Dan replied, his voice trembling slightly and a bit hoarse.


    Blaze Regret regarded Lin Dan''s pale complexion with indifference, then abruptly turned away, leaving the alley without another word. It was clear that no matter how much he pressed, he wouldn''t extract much valuable information.


    "Wait."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to turn the corner and return to the wide street, Lin Dan finally steeled himself, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "I can tell you, but you and the Flame Emperor..."


    "Father and son," Blaze Regret replied without turning back.


    "Father and son..."


    Finally realizing something, a look of shock dawned on Lin Dan''s face as he stared blankly at Blaze Regret''s departing figure. Could this person be a descendant of the Flame Emperor?


    His throat moved slightly, and Lin Dan was suddenly struck by a sense of unreality. If this news got out, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves through Snow Storm City. Some people definitely wouldn''t want to see him alive.


    "Can you tell me now?" Blaze Regret turned his head back, looking at Lin Dan with a cold gaze. On his shoulder, the fiery red Red was holding an unusually shaped blazing fruit, staring intently at Lin Dan.


    After a long struggle, Lin Dan finally sighed, his voice tinged with a bitter smile.


    "The Kartis family, the Soul Family, the Blood Eagle Pavillion, Tiger Demon Mountain..." With each name Lin Dan uttered, his voice carried an increasing note of bitterness. Even if he wanted to turn back now, it seemed he could never go back.


    He was gambling, gambling on whether he could turn his life around and end the days where even Soul An could bully him. But if he gambled wrong, he would undoubtedly meet a grim end. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Anyway, it''s a worthless life. If I die, so be it!" Soul An repeatedly chanted this phrase maniacally in his mind.


    As Lin Dan uttered the names of the involved forces, Blaze Regret''s expression grew increasingly somber. It seemed he had underestimated the dark depths of this ancient city. Besides the Kartis family, even second tier forces were involved.


    In Snow Storm City, forces with an eighth or ninth tier spirit Lord master were considered third tier. Those with a Spirit King expert were second tier, and if the Spirit King expert reached the fourth tier or higher, they could be deemed a strong first tier force.


    Tiger Demon Mountain, for instance, was the pinnacle of second tier forces, with their leader being a fourth tier Spirit King expert.


    Of course, this Spirit King expert hadn''t been seen in the city for several years, and sightings of Spirit King experts in Snow Storm City were extremely rare.


    "Angsana Pavillion, Gen Yun..."


    When Lin Dan mentioned this name, Blaze Regret''s expression changed dramatically. He turned his head, staring coldly at Lin Dan, "Say that name again."


    Slightly confused, Lin Dan replied, "Gen Yun of the Angsana Pavillion, what''s the matter? If it weren''t for him tipping off the Kartis family back then, the Flame Emperor could have left Snow Storm City smoothly and wouldn''t have had his powers forcibly sealed."


    Grinding his teeth, a wave of fury began to rise within Blaze Regret.


    "You bastards, you''ve done well. I hope you''ll all continue to live well for the time being; otherwise, I''ll be very bored!"


    Feeling the icy killing intent emanating from Blaze Regret, Lin Dan couldn''t help but shiver. Blaze Regret now resembled an enraged lion, one that was very adept at enduring.


    If he were allowed to grow unchecked, the forces involved in the massive encirclement years ago would likely face catastrophe.


    "These are three Ice Spike Pills." Blaze Regret calmed his raging emotions and, with a wave of his hand, three crystalline pills landed in front of Lin Dan.

 Chapter 362 Tianhuang Scorpion

    "I..."Lin Dan''s expression turned anxious. He had shared this information hoping that Blaze Regret, a third grade alchemist, would owe him a favor, thus allowing him to connect with a powerful ally. However, receiving these pills in return made him feel a bit bitter; was Blaze Regret intending to settle the score?


    "Don''t overthink it. I just want to help you improve your strength," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    These pills were concocted by Blaze Regret in his spare time. They couldn''t be absorbed by his Ice Control Irenix, but they were immensely beneficial for someone like Lin Dan. On the market, a single pill like this would fetch at least a hundred thousand gold coins.


    Hearing this, Lin Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stored the Ice Spike Pills into his void realms stone.


    "By the way, tomorrow, the Thousand Stone Hall under the Angsana Pavillion is hosting an alchemist assessment. Aren''t you considering attending?" Lin Dan asked softly.


    "Alchemist assessment? Not interested," Blaze Regret replied with a dismissive shake of his head.


    The so called alchemist assessment was merely a public evaluation of an alchemist''s skills, something Blaze Regret was completely indifferent to.


    "That''s really a pity. If you could obtain the third grade alchemist''s insignia, you''d get a recipe for the Rock Cast Pill. That pill can help a ninth tier rock attributed spirit beast successfully break through to the lord level," Lin Dan said, sounding somewhat regretful.


    "Rock Cast Pill?"


    Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest appeared in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes. He then lightly licked his somewhat dry lips.


    Perhaps finding some time to participate in the alchemist assessment might be a worthwhile endeavor after all.


    The cold moonlight poured down from the sky like a layer of silver gauze, falling into the spacious room. Under the cover of this silver veil, a pale yellow fire Cat lay quietly with its eyes closed, emitting an exceptionally intense heat from within.


    As the room''s temperature gradually increased, it seemed as though one substantial pale yellow tails extended from behind the Cat, slowly swaying, presenting a rather strange sight.


    "This mutated blazing fruit has absorbed the essence of the Four tailed red flame Cat. I wonder how much benefit it will bring to Red."


    Blaze Regret looked at Red lying on the bed and smiled slightly. Beside him, a thick layer of bedding was piled up to prevent Red''s body temperature from getting too high and causing it to catch fire.


    After gazing at Red for a while longer to ensure everything was fine, Blaze Regret felt reassured. He slowly lowered his head and interlocked his fingers lightly in front of his cross legged position.


    "What''s on your mind?"


    A gentle laugh echoed, and the space beside Blaze Regret twisted. Master Magi''s figure appeared like a ghost, hovering in mid air.


    This time, his form was completely similar to before, lacking some of the imposing aura he had during the Five Demon Halls.


    "Unexpectedly, the Haitan family has declined."


    After a moment of silence, Blaze Regret sighed softly, his voice carrying an unusual hint of melancholy.


    According to ancient records, there were originally five top forces in Snow Storm City: the Kartis Family in the east, the Zang Family in the west, the Feng family in the south, the Haitan family in the north, and the last one being the Angsana Pavillion located near the imperial city.


    However, although the ancient records seemed all knowing, they only contained information from over a decade ago. After a conversation with Lin Dan, Blaze Regret learned that the once glorious Haitan family in the north had long since fallen into decline.


    The reason for their downfall was that a few years ago, during a hunt for the Tianhuang Scorpion, the head of the Haitan family, Haitan Setan, was betrayed by Kartis Sham and severely injured by the scorpion. His strength plummeted from a sixth tier Spirit King to a second tier Spirit King.


    As a result, the Haitan family''s status in Snow Storm City plummeted dramatically.


    Blaze Regret sighed because, during that massive siege, Haitan Setan had once helped his father by driving away Kartis Sham''s Dark Thunder Soul. According to Lin Dan, this was clearly an act of retaliation.


    "Why think so much? It''s not your fault," Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently, then lowered his head to peruse a brilliant book, which seemed noticeably thicker than it had been before.


    "Yeah, it''s not my fault," Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. Although he said this, he couldn''t shake the uncomfortable feeling inside. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "By the way, can my Healing Star Pendant help Haitan Setan return to his peak?" Blaze Regret suddenly brightened up and took out a pendant shimmering with starlight from the Void realms stone.


    "No."


    Glancing at the Healing star Pendant, a slight ripple passed through Master Magi''s eyes before he looked away indifferently. "Although this pendant is highly valuable, Haitan Setan''s injuries are too severe. As long as the Tianhuang Scorpion lives, he will never have the chance to recover. In fact, in a few years, his strength might even plummet again."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret did not feel dejected. Instead, his eyes filled with endless anticipation as he stared directly at Master Magi.


    Faced with such a gaze from Blaze Regret, Master Magi sighed and shook his head after a brief silence. "Alright, alright. That Tianhuang Scorpion is a sixth tier high level King beast. To take it down, I''ll have to exert quite a bit of effort."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with joy, and the guilt in his heart dissipated significantly.


    "A sixth tier king beast," Blaze Regret repeated, smacking his lips slightly. For a Spirit King, the corresponding spirit beast is a King beast, which, as the name suggests, undergoes a massive transformation after breaking through from a Lord level spirit beast.


    Even the strongest Lord level spirit beast cannot defeat a Spirit King level one, which is why Spirit King hold such a transcendent status in the empire.

 Chapter 363 Inherit Skill

    Suddenly, Red''s body began to levitate slowly. Pale yellow luminescence enveloped it like a light ball, with ripples rapidly spreading around it."Hmm?" Master Magi, holding the book in one hand, looked at Red with a surprised expression.


    Suspended in mid air, Red let out a soft hum. The sun mark on its forehead flickered rapidly, and the Four tails behind it, seemingly solid, became increasingly refined.


    Suddenly, Red opened its eyes, and two muffled sounds echoed from within its body. Its eyes were enveloped in pale yellow flames, as if they were about to ignite.


    "Swish!"


    With a swift twist of its body, the Four fiery tails behind Red extended sharply, resembling Four sharp spears shooting out. The energy emanating from them caused the furnishings in the room to shatter with cracking sounds.


    "Stop!"


    In an instant, Master Magi moved, his palm spinning slightly. The sharp tips of Red''s Four fiery tails pressed against his palm, sending out ripples of pale yellow fire. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Retract!"


    With a slight smile, Master Magi waved his hand, and Red''s Four long tails quickly returned to their original size. The one energy tails then disintegrated into countless light particles, spreading throughout the spacious room.


    "A consecutive breakthrough?" Blaze Regret caught the falling Red, his face flushed with excitement. Originally, he had expected Red to take at least two more months to break through to the ninth tier, but a single spiritual fruit had allowed it to achieve this goal overnight.


    The lifelong spiritual power of the Four tailed red flame Cat was indeed formidable.


    "By the way, those Four tails just now..." Blaze Regret stared at Red''s back, a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    "It''s the spirit technique of the Four tailed red flame Cat, the Four Tailed Spear. I didn''t expect that this fruit not only helped it break through but also luckily allowed it to inherit some features of the Four tailed red flame Cat. If I hadn''t acted in time, its tails could have extended at least several dozen meters, and this entire inn would have been demolished," Master Magi remarked, casting a sidelong glance at Red, who responded with an ungracious grin.


    "That''s terrifying," Blaze Regret said with delight, rubbing Red''s head. A thought then crossed his mind, wondering if the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat could mutate again to become an even more powerful spirit beast than the Four tailed red flame Cat.


    However, every time Red mutated, it seemed to require the consumption of a peculiar flame.


    Recalling the scenes of Red''s past mutations, Blaze Regret fell into contemplation, sensing an inexplicable connection between these events.


    "Right now, the most important task is to find a way for both Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros to break through. I hope I can become a spirit Lord master soon."


    Looking up at the moonlight outside the window, Blaze Regret smiled gently.


    On the spacious street, a figure held a sound transmitting shell in his hand, looking excitedly at the exquisite restaurant not far away. His body trembled slightly from excitement. Judging by his facial features, he was a member of the Soul Family, Soul An.


    Just a few breaths ago, he had witnessed the young man with the fire Cat perched on his shoulder entering the restaurant.


    Taking a deep breath, Soul An lifted the sound transmitting shell to his mouth and said with ecstatic enthusiasm, "Brother Yin, I saw that kid. He''s in the Crane Howl Building on Seven Bend Alley."


    There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by an indifferent voice that spoke with a tone of disinterest.


    "Got it. Keep an eye on him."


    Hearing Soul Yin''s response, Soul An''s face lit up with joy. He then lifted his head, staring menacingly in the direction of the restaurant, and muttered, "You little brat, dared to embarrass me. I''m going to take your life today!"


    Inside the restaurant, Red sat squatting on the table, crazily stuffing food into its mouth, producing sounds of joyful munching.


    Meanwhile, below the table, Ethereal Lotus leaned against Blaze Regret''s leg. From time to time, a vine would extend from her palm to sneak food off the table, her face displaying a mischievous expression.


    With his hand stroking Red''s small head, Blaze Regret gazed out the window. In the distance, his eyes fell upon a majestic and ancient building, with the gilded characters "Thousand Stone Hall" prominently displayed on the plaque.


    "After a long journey, I''ve finally found it."


    Retracting his gaze, Blaze Regret picked up the teacup from the table and took a gentle sip.


    The Thousand Stone Hall belonged to a neutral organization under the Angsana Pavilion, not involved in any power disputes. Thus, even the arch enemies of the Angsana Pavilion could undergo alchemist assessments there.


    Once the assessment was passed, it would undoubtedly receive recognition throughout the entire empire.


    "I wonder how many new alchemists will emerge this year. It''s said that in the last assessment, there was one second rank alchemist and three first rank alchemists."


    Hearing the voices around him, Blaze Regret smiled faintly. Generally speaking, a second rank alchemist is already an extremely rare existence. It''s likely that a third rank alchemist as young as him has yet to appear in the empire.


    Of course, his rapid progress can be largely attributed to the benefits of the Medicine Emperor Seed.


    "What''s the alchemist assessment compared to the Kartis Family Trial happening in a month? That''s what truly draws attention. It''s rumored that the descendant of that person will also appear in the trial."


    "The Flame Emperor?"


    A naive fellow had just asked the question when his companion quickly pulled him aside, nervously pointing at a young man sitting in the corner.


    On the chest of this young man was a thunder pattern emblem, which was undeniably famous in Snow Storm City.


    This is the unique mark of the first class power, the Kartis family.


    And that young man, as if entirely oblivious to the discussions around him, continued eating his meal without even lifting his head.

 Chapter 364 Terror

    This person was Kartis kong of the Kartis family, possessing the power of an eighth grade spirit Imperial master, making his position within the Kartis family extremely solid.If no unforeseen events occur, he also has the potential to strive towards becoming a Spirit King expert in the future.


    "The descendant of that person?"


    Of course, not everyone was focused on Kartis kong in the corner. In the middle of the crowd, a young man continued excitedly, "It''s said that back in the day, the Flame Emperor single handedly compelled two Spirit Sovereigns to bow their heads. That''s truly incredible! And to think, he had just broken through, while those two Spirit Sovereigns were long established names."


    "Who wouldn''t agree? Just thinking about it now is enough to get the blood boiling."


    "By the looks of it, he should be the most talented person in the Sun Moon Empire. It''s said that he broke through to the Spirit Sovereign level at just twenty three or twenty four."


    "Clap!"


    Amidst the heated discussions, Kartis Kong in the corner suddenly slammed his chopsticks onto the table, his face ice cold.


    Instantly, the previously lively restaurant fell into complete silence.


    "The Flame Emperor, does he even deserve that title?"


    Kartis Kong sneered, a mocking smirk slowly appearing on his lips, "He''s merely a descendant of a lowly servant from my Kartis family. In his bones, he carries lowly blood. Even if he becomes a Spirit Sovereign, at the end of the day, he''s still a humble servant of the Kartis family."


    "Moreover, when the Youngang Empire was repelled back then, it was the strongmen of my Kartis family who led the charge. Blaze Ash just happened to seize an opportunity with a couple of moves. Such a fraud, seeking fame and stealing credit, would have no place to stand today."


    Upon hearing Kartis Kong''s sneering remarks, many people nodded obsequiously, their expressions ingratiating. Yet, many others were inwardly furious, though the Kartis family''s overwhelming power left them unable to utter a word.


    Kartis Kong scanned the room, feeling quite satisfied with the expressions on everyone''s faces. After all, someone who rose through sheer luck, a mere lower class person, had no right to be mentioned repeatedly.


    Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the table in front of him. Kartis Kong looked up to see the face of a young man, expressionless, appearing before him.


    "Is there something you need?"


    Kartis Kong stretched lazily, his face relaxed and indifferent, "You should be just the right age to participate in our family''s trial. However, if you''re hoping to gain an advantage through me in the trial, I''m afraid I''ll have to disappoint you."


    Clearly, Kartis Kong mistook Blaze Regret for one of those eager to align themselves with the kartis family.


    Such people had been frequent in recent months.


    At this moment, downstairs in the restaurant.


    With a sneer on his face, Soul An looked up at the towering restaurant, already plotting how he would humiliate Blaze Regret later and make him pay for his actions the previous day.


    Although the Soul Family was only considered a third rate power, their connections in Snow Storm City were astonishingly extensive. With just a few inquiries, Soul An had managed to track down Blaze Regret''s whereabouts.


    "Clap!"


    A strong hand suddenly clapped onto his shoulder. Soul An was about to turn around and curse, but when he saw who it was, his face immediately transformed into a fawning smile. "Brother Yin, you got here so quickly."


    Rising slowly, Soul Yin looked towards the restaurant with an indifferent expression, but the burn mark on his head appeared comically absurd no matter how one looked at it.


    Though Soul An was holding back laughter internally, he dared not show it on his face, instead maintaining a respectful demeanor.


    "Lead the way," Soul Yin said coolly. Soul An''s status in the family was much lower than his, so there was no need for politeness in his speech.


    "Yes!" Soul An nodded repeatedly and happily led the way, while inwardly laughing maniacally. You little rascal, just wait for your doom. Soul Yin''s methods of dealing with people are far more interesting than mine.


    "Bang!"


    Just as the two were about to move, a side of the restaurant suddenly burst open, scattering splinters of wood everywhere. A white figure followed, tracing an arc through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.


    Kartis Kong''s body plummeted rapidly from the top of the restaurant, his back landing heavily on the ground. Tiny cracks spread swiftly beneath him, resembling a vast spider web.


    The sudden turn of events caused the bustling street to fall into an eerie silence. All eyes were fixed on the fallen figure, and when someone recognized Kartis Kong''s identity, they couldn''t help but gasp in shock.


    "Kartis... Kartis Kong..."


    Soul Yin stared wide eyed at the disheveled figure in the center of the cracks. To someone like Soul Yin, who belonged to a third rate power, Kartis Kong was usually an unattainable figure, given the vast difference between their statuses.


    "What happened?" Soul An''s lips quivered slightly, his face filled with alarm. The shock in his heart was even more apparent than Soul Yin''s.


    "Poof!"


    Kartis Kong, eyes filled with terror as he looked up at the sky, spat out a mouthful of blood. The crimson droplets scattered like a shower of rain, and his face contorted in intense pain, as two sharp bamboo chopsticks pierced through his cheeks. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How could his strength be so overwhelming..."


    Recalling the youth''s punch that shattered the air, Kartis Kong was overwhelmed by a deep sense of despair. It was the first time he felt such a profound sense of helpless defeat.


    "Clap"


    A clear sound of footsteps echoed, drawing everyone''s tense gaze towards the restaurant''s entrance. They were eager to see who this audacious individual was, daring to challenge the Kartis family, and even managing to bring down Kartis Kong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master.

 Chapter 365 satisfaction

    "Is it him?"Upon seeing the young man stepping out slowly, Soul Yin''s expression changed dramatically, while Soul An''s body swayed as if all his strength had been drained.


    That was Kartis Kong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master, someone who could rival Soul family''s most outstanding genius, Soul Kun! Yet now, he had been knocked down from the towering restaurant by Blaze Regret, like a dead dog!


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s youthful face, a wave of shock surged through the hearts of the onlookers. They had expected that such a violent act would have been committed by some old monster, but to their surprise, it turned out to be someone so young.


    Slowly walking over to Kartis Kong, Blaze Regret slightly inclined his head, casting an emotionless gaze upon the face of the person below.


    "Who... who are you...?"


    Kartis Kong, appearing almost deranged, screamed hoarsely, enduring the excruciating pain on his face. Ever since he was born, everyone treated him with utmost respect. But today, he had been punched off the restaurant by some unknown entity, utterly losing face, which stirred a deep sense of murderous intent within him.


    Looking at Kartis Kong with indifference, Blaze Regret remained silent. At that moment, at least a thousand pairs of eyes were focused on him from all directions, including those of several spirit master powerhouses.


    "Do you know who I am? I am Kartis Kong of the Kartis family!"


    Kartis Kong''s anger flared even more as Blaze Regret''s indifferent gaze fixed on him. To this moment, he still hadn''t figured out why this young man had suddenly attacked. However, it no longer mattered. Regardless of the reason, he was determined to use all means necessary to destroy this person.


    "Oh."


    With a nonchalant glance at the person beneath him, Blaze Regret suddenly lifted his right leg, his foot striking Kartis Kong''s ribs like a whirlwind. Instantly, the crisp sound of a bone cracking echoed, and Kartis Kong''s body was sent rapidly flying across the ground strewn with tiny stones.


    "That''s ruthless!"


    Watching Kartis Kong''s body being shot across the ground, many people''s eyes widened in shock, but their hearts were undoubtedly filled with a sense of satisfaction. This was especially true for those leaning out the restaurant windows; the pent up frustration they had felt earlier was finally released a bit.


    "Swish!"


    Kartis Kong''s body, accompanied by the grating sound of friction, slid tens of meters before coming to a gradual stop. The place where he stopped was right in front of Soul Yin and Soul An.


    Their jaws quivered slightly, and Soul Yin and Soul An''s faces turned deathly pale.


    Especially when they saw Kartis Kong''s miserable face, the fear in their hearts seemed to solidify. For those who lived in the sheltered environment of an ivory tower, Blaze Regret''s violent actions were nothing short of demonic.


    Slowly approaching Kartis Kong, Blaze Regret tilted his head and glanced at Kartis Kong, whose mouth was bleeding. He then lifted his gaze towards Soul Yin and Soul An, and softly asked, "Are you here to seek revenge on me?"


    Swallowing hard, both Soul Yin and Soul An shook their heads vigorously, the terror on their faces reaching an extreme level.


    "Then what are you doing here?" Blaze Regret asked, looking at Soul Yin instead of Soul An, with an inexplicable tone.


    "We... we came to enjoy the scenery," Soul Yin stammered for a long time before finally uttering these faltering words, though even he found them unbelievable.


    "Oh."


    Blaze Regret looked down at Kartis Kong again and softly said, "They came to laugh at you."


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Kong could no longer contain his rage. Hot blood spurted from his mouth, and his face twisted to the extreme with grief and indignation.


    At this point, he had clearly lost the ability to think rationally. Stimulated by Blaze Regret''s words, he began to harbor a grudge against Soul Yin and Soul An, who had witnessed his disgraceful state.


    Given his vengeful nature, these two would surely face a miserable fate in the future.


    "Wow!"


    At that moment, several large shadows began to circle in the sky. These were majestic blue eagles, each carrying a soldier clad in uniform silver white armor on its back.


    "The enforcement squad, huh."


    Blaze Regret looked up at the sky and sighed gently. This level of fighting seemed to be nearing the limit, especially in such a densely populated area.


    Their arrival at this moment served merely as a warning. If Blaze Regret were to make any further reckless moves, it was likely that countless attacks would descend upon him in the next instant.


    It must be said that the discipline in Snow Storm City was quite strict. In contrast, in towns like Velorian City, even if chaos ensued, it was unlikely that anyone would intervene.


    "If you have the guts, leave your name!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret turn to leave, Kartis Kong, lying on the ground, suddenly became fierce, his voice laced with a strong sense of threat. With the enforcement squad present, his confidence was evidently bolstered.


    "Name?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s expression turned somewhat peculiar. "Are we that familiar? Besides, haven''t you already experienced my capabilities? Do you really wish to experience them again?"


    Casting a speechless glance at Kartis Kong, Blaze Regret shook his head and, under the watchful eyes of many, turned and left.


    As they watched Blaze Regret''s departing figure, Kartis Kong''s vision darkened, and he fainted on the spot. Meanwhile, Soul Yin and Soul An beside him were trembling uncontrollably.


    "Yin, what do we do now?" Soul An asked in terror.


    Slowly turning his head, Soul Yin stared at Soul An with bloodshot eyes and roared, "You really don''t know, you fool! You''ve screwed me over. Just wait until we get back to the clan; I''ll deal with you then!"


    Soul An''s body swayed, his face overtaken by a deep seated fear.


    "It''s over..." S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this moment, only this thought echoed in his mind.

 Chapter 366 Alchemist Assessment

    As Blaze Regret departed, the spacious street once again fell into a deathly silence. One by one, eyes glanced at Kartis Kong, who lay on the ground, before quietly dispersing.Sometimes, watching too much excitement can lead to unexpected trouble.


    "Whoosh!"


    Suddenly, a rapid sound of something slicing through the wind echoed from afar on the street. Immediately, a massive shadow darted over like lightning, halting with a step in front of Kartis Kong.


    It was a majestic Thunder Wolf, with faint lightning flickering around its body, emitting an exceptionally powerful aura.


    Gazing at the figure on the Thunder Wolf''s back, both Soul Yin and Soul An''s pupils contracted, and they lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.


    This was because the person was Kartis Van, the youngest son of Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family.


    Standing beside Kartis Kong, Kartis Van looked down indifferently at his miserable state and said softly, "You really know how to disgrace our Kartis Family, getting yourself into such a state."


    "Cough!"


    Kartis Kong''s chest shook violently as he spat out a mouthful of blood, not daring to meet Kartis Van''s eyes. He stammered, "That young man was too strong, with just one punch..."


    "I don''t want to hear your excuses. Prepare to be punished when we return," Kartis Van said flatly.


    Hearing this, Kartis Kong lowered his head in shame, fully aware of the disgrace his experience today would bring to the Kartis Family.


    "However, not just anyone can touch a member of the Kartis Family."


    A cold glint flashed in Kartis Van''s eyes, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Describe that person in detail, and I guarantee he won''t leave Snow Storm City alive."


    After hesitating for a moment, Kartis Kong said in a low voice, "I only remember that there was a fire Cat lying on his shoulder."


    "A fire Cat?"


    Kartis Van''s eyes slightly narrowed, and then he gently squinted. This characteristic seemed quite distinctive, but why did it sound somewhat familiar?


    "Young Master Kartis, that person¡­ is Blaze Regret," Soul Yin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Kartis Van was momentarily stunned, then a cruel smile slowly spread across his face. "I see. No wonder someone dared to touch a member of my Kartis Family. So, it''s the descendant of that lowly person. In that case, let''s settle both old and new scores. Before, I only intended to take his two legs. Now, in the ancient grounds, let''s cut off his two arms as well."


    Hearing this, both Soul Yin and Soul An couldn''t help but shiver. The thought of someone losing all their limbs made their scalps tingle.


    "By the way, with Kartis Kong lying here, you two did nothing?"


    Kartis Van''s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he spoke in an icy tone, "Your Soul Family is becoming more capable, isn''t it? Go back and tell Soul Lin that the slots for entering the Kartis Family''s ancient grounds will be reduced by three."


    Soul Yin and Soul An''s eyes widened in disbelief, and in the next instant, their faces were filled with terror. The Soul Family originally had only four slots, and if Soul Lin found out about this, they''d probably be skinned alive.


    Your journey continues at empire


    This was no exaggeration!


    "However, it seems the alchemist assessment is about to start. I wonder if I can achieve the rank of a third grade alchemist this time."


    Muttering softly to himself, Kartis Van turned his head and said with a cold expression, "The two of you, take Kartis Kong back to the Kartis Family. If his injuries worsen even slightly, I will make you both end up like this."


    Hearing this, Soul Yin and Soul An could only nod bitterly. Soul Yin, in particular, cursed Soul An hundreds of times in his heart.


    ¡­


    Leisurely walking through several streets, Blaze Regret stopped in front of a quaint building. He then looked up at the three gilded characters "Thousand Stone Hall" and smiled slightly. If he could obtain the Rock Cast Pill, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros might be able to advance to the lord level.


    Sometimes, when I think about it, raising so many spirit beasts at once can indeed be quite a headache. However, the thought of the rewards that come with all the hard work makes it worthwhile.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret shook his head and then walked towards the Thousand Stone Hall.


    As he stepped through the entrance, a pleasant aroma of medicinal herbs wafted through the air, lifting his spirits. Blaze Regret couldn''t help but smile to himself, recognizing the familiar scent. He was certain that someone had refined the Void Soul Pill here within the last five hours.


    Contrary to his expectations of a bustling scene, there were only a dozen or so people inside the Thousand Stone Hall, and their ages varied greatly. One elderly man, appearing to be at least seventy or eighty years old, wore only a first grade alchemist''s badge on his chest.


    It was evident that this elder intended to qualify as a second grade alchemist.


    "Is that you?"


    While Blaze Regret was observing the people around, a crisp voice tinged with surprise suddenly came from behind him.


    With a slight curiosity, Blaze Regret turned around to see a fiery red figure enter his view. Her pure yet alluring face was truly unforgettable.


    "Zang Dee?" Blaze Regret was somewhat speechless, not expecting to encounter an acquaintance at the Thousand Stone Hall. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Are you an alchemist too?" Zang Dee''s face showed a hint of surprise, her seductive lips slightly pursed. Instantly, all the people preparing for the assessment focused their attention on her.


    When they saw that the person speaking with Zang Dee was a male, their faces were filled with intense jealousy. In Snow Storm City, few could resist Zang Dee''s allure.


    However, at the back of the crowd, a woman''s expression was not so pleasant. She glanced at Zang Dee and snorted disdainfully.

 Chapter 367 Alchemist Assessment 2

    This woman, named Kartis Siti, was quite attractive herself, but when compared to Zang Dee, her advantages seemed to pale in comparison."Vixen, if it weren''t for that face of yours, your reputation in Snow Storm City wouldn''t surpass mine. Who knows, one day something might happen, and that face of yours could be completely ruined," Kartis Siti thought venomously.


    "That''s right," Blaze Regret nodded slightly, his eyes then filled with surprise as they lingered on the badge on Zang Dee''s chest, which bore two stars. "You''re a second grade alchemist?"


    "Of course!" Zang Dee replied with pride, puffing out her chest. It felt quite satisfying to flaunt a little in front of the young man who had previously bested her twice.


    She hadn''t realized that she was already showing some rare emotions to this young man she''d only met once before.


    "Impressive," Blaze Regret genuinely marveled. It seemed Zang Dee was here to attempt advancing to a third grade alchemist. Such a young third grade alchemist would indeed be considered a prodigy.


    "Hmph, you''re here to qualify as a first grade alchemist, aren''t you? If you pass in one go, I wouldn''t mind giving you a few pointers in the future, considering you have some talent," Zang Dee smiled, the fire lotus mark on her forehead seemingly coming alive, making her delicate face even more enchanting.


    Looking at her smile, the male alchemists couldn''t help but gape, their faces showing a dazed expression, which made Kartis Siti, standing at the back, look furious.


    "Master Stone is here."


    With a gentle turn of her beautiful eyes, Zang Dee looked toward the elderly figure slowly emerging from the back of the Thousand Stone Hall and said with a smile, "Little brother, I''m looking forward to seeing your performance."


    Being watched so closely by Zang Dee, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but twitch his lips slightly. No wonder people say beauty can be a curse; if not for his exceptional self control, he might have already been led by the nose.


    "However, taking this opportunity to see where my limits lie doesn''t seem bad at all," Blaze Regret thought, turning his head to look at the elderly figure that had suddenly appeared, and he chuckled softly.


    An elder named Stone Yee appeared at the front of the hall, and the previously noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down. When Blaze Regret saw the four star badge on the elder''s chest, he couldn''t help but be amazed. He didn''t expect that the person responsible for the assessment would be a fourth grade alchemist. From this, it seemed that the leader of the Thousand Stone Hall must be at least a fifth grade alchemist.


    "The foundation of Snow Storm City is indeed deep," Blaze Regret pondered silently. Explore more at empire


    As the elder explained, Blaze Regret gradually understood the rules of the assessment. Successfully refining a first grade pill would earn one the recognition of being a first grade alchemist. If one could successfully refine a second grade pill, then they would be recognized as a second grade alchemist, and so on.


    However, before participating in this assessment, a small test must first be conducted.


    Behind the Thousand Stone Hall, there was a spacious courtyard with special facilities. Participants in the assessment only needed to place their palms on it, and a soul arrow would automatically condense. The strength of the arrow roughly determined whether one was qualified to participate in the assessment.


    Otherwise, if everyone could directly refine pills, the annual expenses of the Thousand Stone Hall would be an extremely large sum.


    "Now, you may proceed with the test." S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a wave of Stone Yee''s sleeve, the dozen or so participants eagerly waiting for the assessment quickly surged into the courtyard. In an instant, the hall was empty.


    "Aren''t you going?" Blaze Regret asked Zang Dee, who remained unmoved, with curiosity.


    "A second grade alchemist doesn''t need to go through this procedure," Zang Dee said, lifting her pretty face with a hint of pride. Second grade alchemists already had some privileges and even the profound Thousand Stone Hall would offer them some preferential treatment.


    Seeing Zang Dee''s somewhat childish demeanor, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but smile. He then waved his hand and walked towards the courtyard.


    As he passed by Stone Yee, the elder''s eyes noticeably narrowed, and a subtle gleam flashed across them. It seemed like there was a promising candidate this time.


    Zang Dee, with her lips slightly pursed, watched Blaze Regret''s back with bright eyes. She impulsively followed him, her interest in this peculiar young man growing stronger.


    "Hmm?"


    A hint of surprise flashed in Stone Yee''s old eyes. He had never seen Zang Dee take such an interest in someone before. Even some of the top talents in the city couldn''t capture her attention.


    "Curious," Stone Yee chuckled and shook his head. He then turned around, taking a roster, and walked into the courtyard.


    The cold wind, carrying traces of snowflakes, rustled through the sky, causing some withered yellow leaves to sway and rustle.


    Beneath those fallen leaves lay a series of peculiar stone pillars. These pillars were jet black, with complex runes flowing around them, giving off an aura of mystery.


    Opposite these stone pillars stood several targets, which left Blaze Regret, who was participating in the test for the first time, somewhat puzzled.


    "When the test starts, place your palm in the indentation on the stone pillar. The special runes within will extract your soul power to form a sharp soul arrow. The stronger your soul power, the more concentrated the arrow will be. If you can successfully hit the target, you qualify for the first grade alchemist assessment. If you hit the bullseye, then your soul power is at least at the level of a second grade alchemist," explained Zang Dee, standing beside Blaze Regret with a slight curve to her lips.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded silently. The Thousand Stone Hall, as a faction under the Angsana Pavilion, indeed had its unique methods. Previously, he could scarcely imagine such a way to test the concentration of soul power.

 Chapter 368 Alchemist Assessment 3

    Just as Zang Dee''s crisp voice faded, a young man stepped forward. He took a deep breath and placed his palm on the dark stone pillar. Complex runes rapidly flashed at the front of the pillar, and after a moment, a seemingly dim soul arrow began to faintly condense."Whoosh!"


    With a sharp whistling sound, the soul arrow shot out swiftly, but it dispersed halfway, turning into countless light points that scattered away. The young man''s face instantly turned extremely dejected.


    "Hee Tan, not qualified," Stone Yee stated blandly.


    After the young man''s elimination, several more people took the test. When a woman named Kartis Siti hit the bullseye with a snap of her soul arrow, she smirked triumphantly, turned her head to give Zang Dee a provocative glance, and then her gaze fell on Blaze Regret.


    Feeling Kartis Siti''s provocative stare, Blaze Regret was somewhat baffled. It seemed he hadn''t provoked her in any way. Continue your saga on empire


    What he didn''t know was that Kartis Siti''s dislike and jealousy towards Zang Dee had reached an extreme point. The saying "hate the house and its crow" applied here, and Blaze Regret was merely caught in the crossfire.


    "Petty creature," Zang Dee remarked disdainfully, barely glancing at Kartis Siti''s provocative behavior. She couldn''t be bothered to react further, as the gap between them was not something mere jealousy could bridge.


    "The last one."


    Stone Yee''s aged voice suddenly rang out, and immediately, dozens of eyes turned and focused on Blaze Regret. It was their first time seeing this stranger coming to participate in the assessment.


    With a slight shrug, Blaze Regret walked up to the dark stone pillar. Just as he was about to place his palm on it, a voice filled with mockery suddenly echoed.


    "Good thing there''s this test; otherwise, who knows how much material the Thousand Stone Hall would waste each year on those who vainly attempt to become alchemists," Kartis Siti scoffed, then shifted her gaze away from Blaze Regret. Her qualification for the second grade alchemist assessment had instilled in her a sense of overwhelming superiority.


    "What do you mean, Kartis Siti?" Zang Dee''s beautiful eyes finally showed a hint of coldness. She could ignore Kartis Siti''s provocations towards her, but now that the conflict had involved the innocent Blaze Regret, she could no longer stand by indifferently.


    "Did I say anything wrong?"


    Seeing Zang Dee finally respond to her, Kartis Siti felt even more smug. "Three years ago, I was already eligible for the first grade alchemist assessment, and now, I have the opportunity to aim for the second grade. Moreover, the prodigy of my clan, Kartis Van, hit the bullseye with his soul arrow on his first test attempt. Some destined to be useless person shouldn''t harbor any delusions."


    Hearing this, even the usually crafty Zang Dee''s eyes filled with a cold glint. Just as she was about to take action and teach Kartis Siti a lesson, a resigned sigh suddenly interrupted.


    "The Kartis Family people really are arrogant and conceited."


    "You..."


    Just as Kartis Siti was about to get angry, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. Before Blaze Regret''s palm on the dark stone pillar, a sharp soul arrow rapidly formed, and Master Stone Yee''s face even showed a hint of delight at its condensed form.


    "Go!"


    With a flick of his hand, Blaze Regret sent the soul arrow whistling through the air, tearing a long trail through it, and it shot fiercely at the target.


    Under countless shocked gazes, the target was shattered to pieces. The sharp soul arrow pierced through several targets consecutively, finally embedding itself with a swish into the thick wall.


    As everyone stared at the quivering arrow tail, the vast courtyard fell into a stunned silence.


    A solid soul arrow was deeply embedded in the wall. Everyone''s pupils contracted at that moment, followed by a chorus of gasps that seemed to meld into one continuous sound. Hitting the bullseye in a first test is already an extraordinary talent, but to shatter the target completely, and consecutively at that, was unprecedented.


    The dark spirit power arrows slowly dissipated like smoke. Kartis Siti''s expression turned extremely unpleasant, a burning sensation rising on her face as if she had been slapped hard.


    What does hitting the bullseye matter when someone can destroy the entire target? This indicates that Blaze Regret''s soul refinement level is at least at the pinnacle of a second grade alchemist!


    "Who would''ve thought, you''re quite impressive," Zang Dee muttered to herself, a glint of astonishment flashing in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Blaze Regret.


    "You, young friend, your alchemy skills must be at least second grade, right? Achieving such accomplishments at your age is truly rare. Do you often have guidance?" Stone Yee asked, his old eyes burning with interest as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    Zang Dee''s delicate brows arched in surprise. With her intelligence, it was easy to see that Stone Yee was clearly considering taking on a disciple.


    Compared to Zang Dee''s surprise, Kartis Siti in the distance looked livid. After passing the alchemist assessment, the elders in her family once took her to visit Stone Yee, but he rejected her outright without even thinking, which dimmed her fragile heart for a long time.


    And now, Stone Yee wanted to take as a disciple someone she had mocked. This move was like a sharp sword piercing her heart once again.


    "Master Stone Yee, I currently have no intention of becoming anyone''s disciple," Blaze Regret smiled, politely declining.


    "That''s truly a pity."


    With a soft sigh, Stone Yee glanced at the remnants of the target on the ground, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes as he asked seriously, "Young friend, do you perhaps think little of Thousand Stone''s alchemy?"


    Hearing this, Kartis Siti''s eyes lit up with joy. Could it be that Stone Yee was going to give Blaze Regret trouble? This was something she would gladly see.

 Chapter 369 Alchemist Assessment 4

    "What is this old guy up to?" Zang Dee pursed her charming lips. As a member of the Angsana Pavillion, she had interacted with Stone Yee frequently, but at the moment, she couldn''t quite grasp the meaning behind his words. However, it certainly wasn''t to cause trouble.Stone Yee had always been known as the good natured one at the Angsana Pavillion.


    "Not at all..." Blaze Regret began to speak, but was interrupted by Stone Yee, who waved his hand with a slight frown, so he could only smile wryly and press his lips together.


    "You truly don''t know what''s good for you. Being accepted as a disciple by Master Stone Yee is a fortune accumulated over three lifetimes!" Kartis Siti seized the opportunity, adding fuel to the fire with her harsh voice, attempting to incite Stone Yee''s anger towards Blaze Regret.


    However, Stone Yee slowly turned his head, looking at Kartis Siti with a cold gaze. "Does this matter concern you, or do you think being from the Kartis Family gives you the right to meddle here?"


    Hearing this, Kartis Siti trembled, hastily closing her mouth in fear, having no idea which words had offended Stone Yee.


    "My alchemy skills are likely limited to this level in this lifetime. It''s understandable if you don''t think much of them."


    With a slight squint of his eyes, Stone Yee made a decision in his heart. He turned to Blaze Regret and said earnestly, "Young friend, if you are willing, after the alchemist assessment, I will put aside my pride and seek out that old fellow Mut Zen. His alchemy skills are at the pinnacle of the fifth grade and might break through to the sixth grade in less than half a year. With his guidance, your future will surely be even more formidable."


    Stone Yee''s words were like a heavy hammer striking Kartis Siti''s head. Her mind buzzed, and her face was filled with disbelief.


    Mut Zen was the father of Mut Lit, the master of the Angsana Pavillion. His unparalleled alchemy skills intimidated the entire empire, unmatched by anyone. Establishing a connection with him would allow someone to walk with impunity even in Snow Storm City!


    "More formidable than Mut Zen?" Zang Dee''s focus was entirely on the last part of Stone Yee''s statement. Covering her red lips with her delicate hand, she was full of shock. Was it possible that the always proud Stone Yee had such a high opinion of Blaze Regret?


    If this were to spread, it would be hard for anyone to believe!


    Feeling the envious and jealous gazes around him, Blaze Regret shook his head with a wry smile. He wasn''t afraid of Stone Yee causing trouble; what he feared was the difficulty of refusing such generosity, especially considering the troubles he was already dealing with.


    Seeing Blaze Regret shake his head, Stone Yee became anxious. With his sharp eyes, he could easily see that Blaze Regret''s alchemy skills might have already reached the pinnacle of the third grade, with limitless potential. If he could persuade Blaze Regret to join him, it could benefit the Thousand Stone Hall and even the entire Angsana Pavillion in the future!


    "Senior Stone, let''s begin the assessment. I''m here solely for the recipe of the Rock Cast Pill," Blaze Regret said, rubbing his nose awkwardly.


    Though said unintentionally, Zang Dee caught the implication. Blaze Regret, who clearly had a fire attribute spirit beast, was eager to obtain an earth attribute pill recipe. Could there be some secret behind it?


    "The recipe for the Rock Cast Pill?"


    Stone Yee''s eyes lit up, and after pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and shamelessly said, "If you don''t agree to my request, I''ll remove the Rock Cast Pill recipe from the rewards for the third grade alchemist."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret was initially stunned, then found it somewhat amusing. Wasn''t Stone Yee supposed to be the esteemed elder of the Angsana Pavillion? Why was he behaving like a street rogue?


    "Sorry, if the Rock Cast Pill recipe is not included, then I won''t participate in the assessment," Blaze Regret replied, shaking his head and turning to leave. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Stop right there!"


    Stone Yee''s expression turned increasingly anxious. He stepped forward and grabbed Blaze Regret''s arm, saying, "You can have the Rock Cast Pill recipe, but if you successfully pass the third grade alchemist assessment, you must agree to become an honorary elder of the Angsana Pavillion."


    Feeling slightly intrigued, Blaze Regret hesitated and asked, "Honorary elder? Are there any restrictions?"


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s interest, Stone Yee quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, somewhat exasperatedly, "There are no restrictions at all. You will receive the protection of the Angsana Pavillion and even a monthly supply of cultivation resources. All we ask is that you assist us if the Angsana Pavillion ever faces difficulties."


    After a moment of contemplation, Blaze Regret reluctantly nodded. This appearance made the other candidates want to scream in frustration, as the position was something others dreamed of, yet he acted as if it were a burden!


    "Very well, those who have passed the test may now proceed to the assessment," Stone Yee announced, finally realizing his own lack of composure. He released his grip and cleared his throat, while those who passed the soul arrow test looked excited, knowing that passing the assessment would grant them high status in Snow Storm City.


    Alchemy is a profession that garners respect and privileges everywhere.


    "Ah, so the soul arrow test has finally concluded."


    A cheerful voice echoed from the Thousand Stone Hall hall, followed by a figure in white stepping into the courtyard. As his gaze swept over the area, the smile on his face gradually faded.


    "Blaze Regret..."


    Kartis Van, clad in a long robe, stood quietly at the front of the courtyard, gazing at the somewhat familiar figure. The other person also stared back at him indifferently, with a faint chill permeating the air.


    "So, you''re here."

 Chapter 370 Alchemist Assessment 5

    After a moment of silence, Kartis Van spoke with a light smile, his tone akin to a conversation between old friends. However, anyone could detect the subtle sharpness embedded within."Where I am is none of your business," Blaze Regret replied, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of confrontation.


    Observing the two as if in a standoff, Zang Dee furrowed her brows slightly. A moment later, as if she suddenly realized something, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Blaze Regret.


    Could this person be his descendant?


    With that thought, Zang Dee''s rosy lips parted slightly in shock, her heart churning tumultuously.


    In their generation, few were unaware of Flame Emperor''s deeds, and countless young people regarded that legendary figure as their lifelong goal. Zang Dee was among them.


    "Sizzle~"


    With one hand behind his back, Kartis Van slowly raised his right hand, dazzling electric arcs rapidly coursing over it. A broad smile gradually appeared on his face. "To be honest, I didn''t really want you to participate in the Kartis family trial this month because being compared to you is hardly something to be pleased about."


    "Is that so."


    The smile at the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth grew more pronounced. Then, he slowly opened his palm, a jade like luster covering his entire hand. "Although I would love to beat you up in front of Kartis Sham, if we can settle this now, I wouldn''t oppose it." S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s voice, laced with amusement, resonated throughout the courtyard, causing everyone''s expressions to change suddenly. The name Kartis Sham was famous, and now a young man merely at the spirit Imperial master stage dared to call him an old fool in public?


    "It seems things are getting interesting," Zang Dee took a step back, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest. Clearly, she was eager to witness firsthand who was stronger between Blaze Regret and Kartis Van.


    "Hmph!"


    Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a low, cold snort abruptly dissipated the murderous air. The attacks gathering in Blaze Regret and Kartis Van''s palms vanished simultaneously under the cold snort.


    "Are you here to take the alchemist assessment or to fight?"


    Stone Yee flicked his sleeve, and a powerful aura of pressure suddenly spread out, causing everyone''s expressions to change. No one had expected that Stone Yee not only excelled in alchemy but also possessed formidable strength!


    "A ninth tier Spirit Lord Master..."


    Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Stone Yee, Blaze Regret murmured softly, tinged with a hint of surprise. It was no wonder that the Angsana Pavilion was regarded as a top tier force in Snow Storm City. Even just an elder from one of its branches possessed strength comparable to that of Mut Kui!


    Lowering his hand slowly, Kartis Van seemed quite familiar with Stone Yee''s capabilities and did not appear particularly surprised. He looked at Blaze Regret''s face and smiled slightly, "Since Master Stone Yee has spoken, I have no choice but to back down. Congratulations, your little life is temporarily spared."


    Facing Kartis Van''s mocking tone, Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, "I''ll return those words to you."


    "You may now proceed to the designated room to begin your pill refinement."


    Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Stone Yee felt a headache coming on. His voice carried a tinge of suppressed anger, though this anger was mainly directed at Kartis Van. After all, not long ago, he had worked hard to recruit Blaze Regret, and the Kartis family was ultimately the arch enemy of the Angsana Pavilion.


    "Are you also an alchemist?"


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Van seemed to have discovered a new world. With a smile, he said, "Then I can only wish you success here. If you''re a little lucky, you might just barely become a first grade alchemist. In a few years, you might have a chance to catch up to where I am now."


    After speaking, Kartis Van laughed heartily and turned to enter the Thousand Stone Hall Hall. kartis Siti, who was behind him, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Kartis Van''s figure had already disappeared from view.


    "Petty people become arrogant when they succeed."


    Stone Yee coldly snorted in his heart. Although they had a significant presence in Snow Storm City, they were ultimately people of the Angsana Pavilion. Even if they didn''t express it openly, they couldn''t help feeling some disdain towards the Kartis family.


    "Let''s head over as well."


    Upon learning Blaze Regret''s identity, Zang Dee''s tone became noticeably more composed, and her expression as she looked at Blaze Regret was one of complexity.


    "Zang Dee, I''m not quite used to you speaking like this," Blaze Regret said with a smile and a shrug. He never considered his identity to be anything special, except for the fact that it tended to attract trouble.


    "Hmph, I was just a little surprised," Zang Dee retorted, regaining her usual proud demeanor, her lips curving slightly in a way that combined hidden charm with cuteness.


    Turning with a smile, Blaze Regret followed the crowd into the hall, with Zang Dee trailing behind, a bit frustrated. She realized she preferred seeing the boy flustered and shy under her teasing.


    "You just wait and see!" she huffed, shaking a small fist at Blaze Regret''s retreating back.


    The location for the alchemist assessment was in individual rooms. Blaze Regret looked up at a room marked with a two star emblem, then walked in with a calm expression.


    In contrast, the other alchemists'' faces showed varying degrees of nervousness. Passing this test would mean a significant change in their status in Snow Storm City, while failure would mean waiting another year.


    As he watched the doorway ripple with magical formations following Blaze Regret''s entry, Stone Yee''s old eyes narrowed slightly. Who would have thought that the central figure of the recent upheavals in Snow Storm City would be right here at his Thousand Stone Hall?

 Chapter 371 Alchemist Assessment 6

    "Your name is Blaze Regret, right? No wonder you bear a bit of Flame Emperor''s features. I wonder if Snow Storm City will ever be as peaceful as it once was," Stone Yee sighed softly as he sat in his chair."But no matter who you are, as long as you have become the honorary elder of the Angsana Pavilion, we, the old bones of Thousand Stone Hall, will do our utmost to protect you. However, those old fellows led by Dark Yun from the Black Dark Society could be troublesome."


    As Stone Yee sighed, he did not notice a refined middle aged man appearing in the hallway on the second floor of the hall. Despite his age, he looked as vibrant as a young man full of energy.


    The man gazed intently at the room where Blaze Regret was, then his figure gradually faded away, disappearing completely as if he had never been there at all.


    As Blaze Regret stepped into the secluded room, his eyes carried a sense of curiosity, slowly sweeping across the surroundings. On the walls around him were numerous hidden compartments, each marked with the names of various medicinal pills.


    He walked slowly to the front of one of the compartments, focusing his gaze. Instantly, the compartment seemed to turn transparent, and the outlines of several medicinal ingredients appeared before his eyes.


    "Impressive."


    With his palm resting on the compartment, feeling its solid texture, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but express his admiration. The methods employed by the organization under the Angsana Pavilion were truly extraordinary.


    "First grade pill Bone Jade Pill, second grade pill Spirit Ascension Pill..."


    As his eyes scanned the room, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually turned to one of awe. The room contained the formulas and refining materials for at least dozens of pills. For an ordinary second grade alchemist, possessing a few pill formulas was already extremely challenging, yet the Thousand Stone Hall casually revealed such deep reserves, showcasing an unimaginable depth of resources.


    "Buzz!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to casually refine a third grade pill, the space above the pill cauldron in the center of the room suddenly distorted. Moments later, it transformed into an azure screen of light, displaying several lines of clear text.


    "It turns out that becoming a first grade alchemist grants a reward, and a second grade alchemist another, and so on. If one can become a fourth grade alchemist, they can select any four items."


    "Swipe!"


    After Blaze Regret finished reading those lines of text, the azure light screen suddenly extended downward, revealing a dazzling list of rewards that appeared before Blaze Regret''s eyes, stunning him visually.


    "Hiss!"


    As his gaze continued to wander, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. His dark, night like eyes rarely showed a hint of greed. This was essentially a treasure trove. If he could take everything, establishing a mid sized power would not be an impossible task.


    "The rewards for first and second grade alchemists don''t concern me much, but anything beyond that becomes quite formidable, especially the rewards for a fourth grade alchemist..."


    As Blaze Regret spoke, his gaze suddenly froze on a corner of the fourth grade alchemist''s rewards, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.


    Royal Blood Herb, a fourth grade spiritual herb, possesses remarkable regenerative abilities. When refined by spirit beasts below the King level, it can heal all injuries in a matter of moments.


    Blaze Regret was not particularly interested in this peculiar effect. What shocked him was that this Royal Blood Herb was one of the crucial ingredients for refining the fourth grade Heart Pill!


    The fourth grade Heart Pill could allow him to open another spiritual portal at a certain stage of the spirit master, even though the probability was small. Yet, if he could gather enough fourth grade Heart Pills, success would eventually be within reach one day!


    With eyes burning with excitement, Blaze Regret licked his lips and fixed his gaze on a particular hidden compartment. It seemed like attempting the challenge of becoming a fourth grade alchemist could be quite an intriguing endeavor.


    White Rainbow Pill, a fourth grade pill, offers a certain chance for low level lord grade spirit beasts to break through to mid level.


    Although the White Rainbow Pill is considered the easiest to refine among fourth grade pills, it remains a fourth grade pill. This level of difficulty is no small feat for the current Blaze Regret.


    "Then it''s decided."


    With a slight curl of his lips, Blaze Regret extended his hand, reaching directly through the solid hidden compartment. When he opened his palm again, three different spiritual herbs and a pill formula lay quietly in his grasp.


    Meanwhile, outside the room. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Reclining comfortably on a chair with eyes slightly closed, Master Stone''s old face exuded contentment. Upon hearing the joyful exclamation from one of the rooms, a faint smile appeared on his lips.


    It seemed that some fortunate fellow had succeeded.


    "Master Stone, Master Stone!"


    An elderly man with white hair burst out of the room, ecstatic. In his trembling hand, he held a purplish red pill, his voice filled with uncontainable excitement: "Master Stone, I finally succeeded!"


    "Oh?"


    Slowly raising his eyelids, Stone smiled, "Sun Tan, this is your thirty sixth time taking the assessment, isn''t it? Now, you can finally earn the qualification of a first grade alchemist."


    As he spoke, Stone lightly brushed his hand, and a one star emblem appeared on Sun Tan''s chest. Gazing at the brilliant star, Sun Tan was so thrilled he nearly fainted.


    Strictly speaking, his talent for alchemy was even worse than that of an average person. Becoming a first grade alchemist was entirely due to his relentless perseverance. He spent every coin he had on purchasing alchemy materials.


    "I hope you will never forget that your success today is partly due to the contributions of the Angsana Pavilion and the Thousand Stone Hall," Stone said gently, looking at the elated Sun Tan.

 Chapter 372 Alchemist Assessment 7

    "Sun Tan understands. In the future, I will never oppose the Angsana Pavilion or any of its affiliated forces. Moreover, if needed, I''m willing to go through fire and water without hesitation," Sun Tan replied, calming himself and bowing solemnly. Other organizations would never be so kind as to waste thirty six sets of alchemy materials on a complete stranger."Go on."


    Seeing Sun Tan''s declaration, Stone nodded with satisfaction. This was almost an oath that every alchemist who left this place had to make.


    Because of this, the network of the Angsana Pavilion in Snow Storm City was astonishingly strong. If even a tenth of the alchemists were willing to respond in times of crisis, the amassed power would be enough to intimidate any first rate force.


    As Sun Tan left the Thousand Stone Association with a face full of joy, people from all the one star rooms began to emerge, some excited, some dejected. It was clear that only a small portion succeeded in earning the alchemist qualification on their first attempt.


    "Wow!"


    The formations of two rooms rippled simultaneously, and a fiery, enchanting figure and a cold, white robed figure slowly approached. Though their expressions appeared calm, they both wore subtle smiles of delight.


    "Oh? I didn''t expect both of you to achieve the qualification of a third grade alchemist," Master Stone remarked, a hint of astonishment crossing his wrinkled face. Truly, youth heroes rise quickly. Zang Dee and Kartis Van are not very old, and although the probability of a third grade alchemist advancing to fourth grade is quite small, without any unforeseen events, these two will likely surpass his current level in the future.


    "What about Blaze Regret? Did he fail?" Kartis Van glanced at the three star emblem on his chest, visibly pleased. However, when he scanned the room and didn''t see the figure he expected, a trace of contempt curled at the corner of his mouth. Competing with someone like that really diminishes my value, he thought.


    "He''s not out yet," Master Stone replied indifferently.


    "Oh?"


    Kartis Van chuckled mockingly, "Taking so long just to refine a first grade pill? It seems he''s completely a novice, just as I anticipated."


    Zang Dee maintained a neutral expression, but inwardly she shook her head. Let''s see if you can still laugh later.


    "Bang!"


    A loud explosion like sound suddenly emanated from Blaze Regret''s room, causing the formation sealing the room to ripple rapidly.


    "Did the cauldron explode?"


    Kartis Van looked at the white smoke billowing out and spread his hands in feigned surprise, laughing, "Well, that was unexpected, indeed."


    Thick white smoke billowed out from the room where Blaze Regret was, slowly spreading throughout the hall. The loud noise caused those who were about to leave to stop in astonishment.


    "Did the cauldron explode?"


    Kartis Pian, who had been a bit apprehensive, saw a few fragments splattering out from the room and instantly wore a look of great joy. Having a strong soul doesn''t necessarily mean one is skilled in alchemy; otherwise, alchemists would be as common as street vendors in the empire.

    "I thought he was so formidable, but it turns out he''s just a facade." Kartis Pian glanced gleefully at Stone Yee. "Old man, you must be senile to want to take someone like him as a disciple. If word gets out, it would probably become the laughingstock of the entire Snow Storm City."


    "Who would have thought that even refining a simple pill could result in such an accident as the cauldron exploding? Truly, the offspring of powerful figures are different from ordinary people," Kartis Van remarked with a sarcastic tone, a slight smirk on his lips.


    "Cough, cough!"


    Just as Kartis Van finished speaking, a disheveled figure covered in dust emerged, covering his mouth as he ran out. His hair was even messier than a bird''s nest, and the Red on his shoulder pouted in grievance. Its beautiful light yellow fur was slightly curled on both sides, charred black, looking particularly pitiful. Your adventure continues at empire


    Remembering how it was frightened out of its wits by the loud noise, Red tugged fiercely at Blaze Regret''s hair.


    It was only because it was Blaze Regret; if it had been anyone else disturbing its sleep, it would have likely clawed their throat open by now.


    "It hurts..."


    Grimacing, Blaze Regret dashed to a corner where the white smoke was thinner, panting heavily. The violent energy from the exploded cauldron of a Grade Four pill was terrifyingly strong, so much so that even he couldn''t completely withstand it.


    Seeing the blood on the back of his hand, Blaze Regret gave a wry smile. He hadn''t expected his first attempt at refining a Grade Four pill to end like this.


    "Young friend, did you succeed in refining it?"


    Stone Yee slowly rose from his seat, placing one hand behind his back, and asked with a smile.


    At the stage of being a Grade Four Alchemist, one could roughly infer the materials used in the pill based on the scent in the air. The current air still carried traces of stone pine, evil mist moss, and ice cap grass, making it easy to deduce that the pill Blaze Regret had attempted to refine was undoubtedly the White Rainbow Pill.


    Thinking of this, Stone Yee sighed inwardly. He thought he had already regarded this young man highly, but it seemed he had still underestimated him.


    "Is there even a need to think? He obviously failed," Kartis Van said with a slight smirk, casting a faint smile at Blaze Regret. "In this empire, countless people aspire to become alchemists every day, and you are probably just one of them. However, the gap between people is often insurmountable. Sometimes, giving up on these unreachable fantasies early on isn''t necessarily a bad thing."


    Kartis Van''s seemingly earnest voice carried a strong note of condescension, clear to anyone that he was speaking to Blaze Regret from a position of superiority.


    "Heh," Kartis Pian stood in the distance, unable to hide the mocking expression on her face.

 Chapter 373 Alchemist Assessment 8

    "Young friend, aren''t you going to open your hand?" Stone Yee, seemingly unaffected by Kartis Van''s ridicule, continued smiling at Blaze Regret."Alas, this is all I could achieve on my first attempt at refining such a pill," Blaze Regret sighed helplessly, opening his palm to reveal a misshapen pill lying in his hand. It was covered in small, uneven bumps, looking very much like a failure.


    "Can that even be called a pill?" Kartis Van reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke, an unmistakable disdain spreading across his face as he mercilessly mocked. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The refinement of a Grade Four pill is indeed extremely difficult. To achieve this is already incredibly challenging. Back then, I too wasted over a hundred sets of materials to barely reach this level," Stone Yee said with a tinge of admiration, sighing lightly.


    If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for him to believe that Blaze Regret, on his first attempt at refining a Grade Four pill, could actually succeed in forming a pill. Although it was not perfect, it was undeniably a genuine Grade Four pill.


    "Yes, with your talent, achieving this is already quite remarkable..."


    Kartis Van was just about to continue undermining Blaze Regret''s self esteem when his mocking expression suddenly froze. He then slowly looked at the pill in Blaze Regret''s hand, exclaiming in shock, "This is a Grade Four pill? Impossible!"


    He was reluctant to believe it, and he dared not accept it. Since his childhood, the Kartis family had retained a Grade Four alchemist at a high cost to personally teach him alchemy, which was why he could achieve such accomplishments at his age.


    But Blaze Regret was merely someone from a small place, without any renowned alchemists or abundant cultivation resources. How could he possibly become a Grade Four alchemist?


    "A Grade Four pill, this must be fake, it has to be fake..." Kartis Pian felt dizzy, as everyone knew what it meant to be a Grade Four alchemist at such a young age.


    If nothing unexpected happened, Blaze Regret could even surpass Mut Zen, the empire''s leading figure in alchemy, in the future! Explore hidden tales at empire


    It''s worth noting that even a genius like Mut Zen was only a newly minted Grade Three alchemist at Blaze Regret''s age. Of course, the cultivation resources back then were far inferior to what they are now.


    "Some things, I suppose, need not be said any further."


    Stone Yee gave Blaze Regret a deep look, then waved his hand, causing a badge engraved with four golden stars to appear on Blaze Regret''s chest.


    Such pledges typically only bind freelance alchemists and hold no sway over individuals like Kartis Van. As Blaze Regret is the son froend of the ancient head of Angsana Pavilion, it''s unlikely he would pose a threat to them in the future.


    As he looked at the four star badge on Blaze Regret''s chest, Kartis Van''s face turned extremely sour. Although he was now a Grade Three alchemist, the path of alchemy becomes increasingly difficult. With his aptitude, breaking through to become a Grade Four alchemist would take at least another ten years.


    Zang Dee, although shaken, did not lose her composure like Kartis Van. Having witnessed Blaze Regret''s extraordinary soul power, she had already anticipated this outcome to some extent.


    Of course, seeing it with her own eyes still left her deeply astonished.


    "Master Stone Yee, can I receive the reward now?" Blaze Regret asked Stone Yee with a bashful smile.


    Even though they were both Grade Four alchemists, there were still varying levels of strength. Stone Yee''s alchemical skills were clearly at the pinnacle of the fourth tier, while Blaze Regret, being a somewhat inexperienced Grade Four alchemist, was still not quite at that level.


    Thus, he never felt complacent just because he wore the same badge as Stone Yee.


    "There''s no rush for that. Kartis Van, Zang Dee, take your rewards and proceed ahead. Blaze Regret and I have some matters to discuss," Stone Yee said, turning his head slightly, with a calm demeanor.


    "Honestly, can''t you have a better attitude?" Zang Dee grumbled, puffing with annoyance as she accepted a bright red fruit.


    "If my attitude were any better, you''d just take advantage of it, wouldn''t you? Three years ago, just because I talked to you a little more, I ended up losing quite a lot of spiritual herbs to you," Stone Yee retorted with a good natured scolding, stroking his graying beard.


    "Hmph," Zang Dee huffed, lifting her nose in a proud gesture, which left Stone Yee both exasperated and amused. She then glanced at Blaze Regret with a hint of deeper meaning before turning to leave.


    "A month from now, it''s time for the Kartis family trial, isn''t it?"


    As Kartis Van passed by Blaze Regret, he paused slightly, a faint trace of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Don''t say I didn''t warn you; be extra careful then. You wouldn''t want to accidentally get killed by me."


    Kartis Van gave Blaze Regret a look filled with feigned sympathy, then laughed heartily as he swaggered out of the Thousand Stone Hall.


    "That line should have been mine to say," Blaze Regret remarked, watching Kartis Van''s retreating figure with slight resignation. However, the sharp determination in his eyes was unmistakably clear.


    In the hall, Stone Yee listened to the murmurs coming from Blaze Regret''s throat and a flicker of surprise crossed his aged eyes. He was well aware of the upcoming Kartis family trial, and even knew secrets that Blaze Regret was unaware of. If Blaze Regret were to lose to Kartis Van, it wouldn''t just be Blaze Ash''s face that would be lost.


    "Master Stone Yee, you didn''t keep me here just to watch you daydream, did you?" Seeing Stone Yee lost in thought, Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows helplessly. He was eager to obtain the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill and then purchase the materials needed for alchemy.

 Chapter 374 Alchemist Assessment Final

    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, though powerful, was ultimately of too low a grade and was gradually falling behind his pace. Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, the Ethereal Lotus must not be exposed. This place was full of mixed individuals, and there was bound to be someone who could recognize a mysterious beast. At that time, it might trigger another large scale hunt.He had never doubted the attraction mysterious beasts held for powerful individuals.


    Therefore, his current focus was entirely on enhancing the capabilities of the remaining three spirit beasts.


    "If I''m not mistaken, you should have another spirit beast with the rock attribute, right?" Stone Yee suddenly smiled as he gazed into Blaze Regret''s dark eyes.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed, and he slowly nodded. The remaining spirit portals would eventually be revealed, and hiding them from Stone Yee had no benefits and might even provoke his displeasure.


    "A dual source spirit Master, huh."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s admission, Stone Yee couldn''t help but gasp. The young man before him was probably the only dual source spirit master in the entire empire besides Monarch Seng Techan.


    Although the advantages of a dual source spirit master were not significant at lower levels of power, once they broke through to the Kong Realms stage, a stage where each level could take years to achieve, the true terror of a dual source spirit master would gradually become apparent.


    "Elder Stone Yee, about the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill..."


    Seeing Stone Yee change the subject again, Blaze Regret had no choice but to repeat his request. This was only after revealing his identity as a dual source spirit master. If Stone Yee knew he was currently a four source spirit master, he would probably be even more astounded.


    However, since Stone Yee didn''t ask, Blaze Regret didn''t volunteer the information. After all, he had answered the question, so it couldn''t be considered deceitful.


    "Ah yes, yes, oh, getting old, I tend to ask irrelevant questions."


    Upon being reminded by Blaze Regret, Stone Yee couldn''t help but blush slightly. With his wrinkled hand just about to touch the Void realms Stone, a glint suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Young friend, I do have the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill, but I also have two finished pills."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s spirits lifted immediately. He was more than happy to save the time required to purchase materials, as the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill held only the value of a single pill to him. However, noticing the cunning glint in Stone Yee''s cloudy old eyes, he became cautious and did not rush to respond.


    "What a cautious little fellow," Stone Yee muttered to himself. A smile then spread across his aged face: "I do have the pills, but this doesn''t quite align with the assessment''s rules. Besides, the method to refine the Rock Cast Pill is known only to me in the entire Snow Storm City."


    Enjoy new adventures from empire


    Silently cursing the old fox, Blaze Regret replied in a wary tone, "Master Stone Yee, just tell me directly what you want me to do. If it''s within my capabilities, I''m willing to help."


    "That''s all I need to hear." Stone Yee opened his palm, revealing two round, silvery pills lying quietly in his hand. He then looked up at Blaze Regret with a smile, "It''s nothing major. I just want to put your honorary elder title under the Thousand Stone Hall''s name, allowing you to enjoy the cultivation resources there. How does that sound?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. He contemplated the smiling Stone Yee for a moment before speaking slowly, "Master Stone Yee, while I appreciate the conveniences provided by the Angsana Pavilion and the Thousand Stone Hall, I don''t wish to get involved in their power struggles."

    When the words "Thousand Stone Hall" were mentioned, Blaze Regret made a decision. Even if it meant foregoing the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill, he would not invite unnecessary trouble. Although he was already dealing with many issues, avoiding additional complications was preferable.


    "The president of the Thousand Stone Hall is Gen Yun."


    Anticipating Blaze Regret''s reaction, Stone Yee remained unhurried, his smile unwavering as he kept his gaze on Blaze Regret. However, the mention of that name caused Blaze Regret''s expression to change rapidly.


    "Gen Yun..."


    Hearing this name, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes narrowed, a trace of coldness flashing from deep within them.


    Observing Blaze Regret''s reaction, Stone Yee tucked his hands into his sleeves, his smile undiminished.


    "If I had known, I would not have gone directly to the Thousand Stone Hall for the assessment."


    Blaze Regret''s expression turned icy as his mouth curled slightly. Years ago, if it hadn''t been for this person tipping off the Kartis family, his father wouldn''t have ended up in such a dire situation. He might have escaped the siege and regained his peak strength long ago.


    Although Blaze Regret didn''t know the full extent of Blaze Ash''s ultimate power, he didn''t care about that. He only knew that this was his father, the father who, when no one was around, set aside his dignity as the head of the family to sneak into the treasury and steal six bottles of Spirit Condensation Elixir for him.


    "Fine, let the honorary elder title be under the Thousand Stone Hall. And by the way, let Gen Yun know that my name is Blaze Regret."


    As the coldness in the young man''s voice spread, the smile on Stone Yee''s old face intensified. Such a temperament, truly exceptional, no wonder he is the descendant of that person.


    "This is the elder token of the Thousand Stone Hall. After the Kartis family trial, you can go and register," Stone Yee said with a smile.


    Taking the token from Stone Yee''s hand, Blaze Regret traced the intricate patterns on it, a slight smile forming at the corners of his mouth. Let the grudges of more than a decade ago begin to be resolved with you.

 Chapter 375 Prepare

    "Elder Stone Yee, there''s something I don''t understand. Since Master Mut knows about the events of those years, why does he let Gen Yun live freely?" Blaze Regret asked, frowning."You must understand that there are some things others can do, but Master Mut absolutely cannot, even if it would be much easier for him to do so," Stone Yee sighed in explanation.


    Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. It seemed that even an elite force like the Angsana Pavilion had its own deep seated complexities. However, he wasn''t concerned with these intricacies. The only thing that mattered to him was ensuring that Gen Yun paid a hundredfold price.


    After accepting the remaining rewards, including the enticing Royal Blood Grass, Blaze Regret slowly walked out of the Thousand Stone Hall. He looked up at the gentle sunlight and lazily stretched.


    He would find a place to prepare for another month, and then it would be time to head to the Kartis family and put on a public show of strength.


    The crimson glow of the setting sun, filtered through the dancing snowflakes, painted the mountains with a warm hue. In the tiny crevices of the rocks, small purple red berries grew, their vibrant colors appearing extremely enticing. These berries served as food for most of the spiritual beasts in the winter forest.


    Seated cross legged on a smooth rock, Blaze Regret had his eyes slightly closed, with steady breaths emanating from him. Inside his body, a crystal core was connected to four differently colored threads of light. Spiritual energy was slowly transmitted through these four threads.


    Like all towns, Snow Storm City also had mountains and forests of varying sizes. However, the southern wall of this ancient city was entirely made up of a long, dragon like mountain range. Such audacity was truly astonishing, especially knowing that not far from the mountain''s base lay the area where spiritual masters resided.


    "Whoo~"


    Slowly opening his eyelids, Blaze Regret exhaled a long breath of cold air, then stood up and gazed towards the edge of the mountains. There, at regular intervals, stood soldiers on guard. Even the weakest of these soldiers possessed the strength of a first tier spirit Imperial master.


    "The power of the royal family is indeed terrifying. Using spirit Imperial masters to guard the mountains, it''s no wonder even top tier forces must adhere to their rules."


    Glancing at those tiny black dots, Blaze Regret, with Red perched on his shoulder, quickly headed deeper into the mountains. It had taken him three days to travel from Thousand Stone Hall to this place, a testament to the vastness of Snow Storm City.


    "Swoosh!"


    As Blaze Regret swiftly moved forward, a fiery red molten ape, with bloodthirsty eyes, leaped down from a giant tree. Its sharp claws, trailing three fiery red streaks, fiercely targeted Blaze Regret''s head.


    However, just as the molten ape descended mid air, a silvery white figure suddenly dashed over with earth shaking steps. With a tightly clenched fist, infused with formidable strength, it smashed the molten ape in mid air.


    "Boom!"


    Instantly, a shower of blood sprayed, and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, indifferent, retracted its fist and quickly followed Blaze Regret''s silhouette. Those spiritual beasts lurking in the dark all lowered their heads, not daring to entertain any thoughts.


    Glancing back at the waves emanating from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Blaze Regret contentedly withdrew his gaze. The effect of the Rock Cast Pill was indeed strong; presumably, in less than twenty days, the energy contained within would be fully absorbed by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, allowing it to break through into an even more powerful lord level spiritual beast.


    Such a scene continued to unfold in various parts of the mountains for a long time. As the spiritual energy flowed rapidly, the aura of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros gradually intensified, putting Blaze Regret''s mind completely at ease.


    "However, the troublesome one is still you, little fellow."


    Blaze Regret looked down at the one fiery tails behind Red, which were formed by condensed spiritual energy, feeling somewhat at a loss.


    The destructive power of the Four Tailed Spear was indeed formidable. With Red''s current strength, it could barely injure even some first tier lord grade spiritual beasts. However, those one tails were ultimately not part of its physical body, so wielding them was not as intuitive as the central pale yellow tail.


    "The spiritual skill of the Four Tailed Red Flame Cat isn''t that easy to master," mused Master Magi, hovering in mid air as he looked playfully at Red, who wore a frustrated expression below.

    "Master Magi, if you have any good suggestions, don''t keep them to yourself," Blaze Regret said, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. The hard ancient tree beside him was covered with small pits, all pierced by Red''s Four Tailed Spear. The awkward part was that the sizes of these pits were entirely inconsistent, indicating Red''s inexperience with using its Four tails effectively.


    "The power of the Four Tailed Red Flame Cat is not something a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat can easily harness," Master Magi remarked. Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s expression turned even more dejected. He knew well that the bloodline of the Four Tailed Red Flame Cat far surpassed that of the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, so this outcome was unsurprising to him.


    "However, using just the Four Tailed Spear skill isn''t particularly difficult," Master Magi added with a faint smile as he opened his palm. A swarm of black spirit bats flew out, darkening the sky above Blaze Regret''s head as they hovered, making even the daylight seem to dim.


    "Go!" Master Magi commanded with a flick of his hand. Three small white bats, each just the size of a fingernail, flitted their delicate wings and quickly vanished into the swarm of black bats. Their presence was like fleeting starlight in the night, barely discernible.

 Chapter 376

    "The reason the Four Tailed Spear cannot be successfully executed boils down to your Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat attempting to control Four tails at once for the first time, unable to concentrate effectively. If it were just Three tail, it wouldn''t be so challenging. But for its current self, and its future self, it will have to face this challenge eventually," Master Magi remarked, casting his gaze over Red."Roar!" Red let out a defiant growl, its eyes filled with a fighting spirit as it fixed its gaze on the three white spots amidst the black bat swarm. With a determined step forward, the tails behind it extended rapidly, slicing through the air with fierce precision, targeting those three white points with unyielding ferocity.


    "Whoosh!" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, Red''s fierce strike failed to hit even a single white bat, making its gaze grow increasingly fierce.


    Time flows like water, always slipping away quietly when one least expects it.


    In the ensuing period, Blaze Regret, along with Red and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, stayed in the desolate mountains, quietly cultivating as if the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with him.


    Meanwhile, the area around the Kartis Family began to bustle with activity as time progressed.


    Young individuals from all directions rushed in, settling in the nearby inns. Their eyes, filled with intense excitement and a fighting spirit, were fixed on the imposing and ancient mansion.


    If they could stand out in the upcoming trials in a few days, their futures would undergo earth shattering changes.


    Compared to the surface level noise, in the shadows, figures rarely seen in Snow Storm City began to emerge, causing even some top tier forces within the ancient city to be on high alert.


    "I heard that the descendants of the Flame Emperor will also attend this Kartis Family trial."


    "Yes, and it seems that the Flame Emperor himself appeared in Snow Storm City not too long ago, though that item isn''t with him."


    "The dazzling star that fell from the sky is indeed quite extraordinary. It''s rumored that the Flame Emperor''s rapid progress is linked to a necklace formed from those stars."


    "Heh, the Kartis Family is quite foolish. They sent someone to Velorian City to search for it. If they could find it, I''d be shocked. I don''t believe that over the years, the Flame Emperor hasn''t taken special measures to alter the necklace''s form."


    In the darkness, several figures fell silent for a moment before a hoarse voice spoke.


    "If that item truly is with that kid named Blaze Regret, it could be quite troublesome."


    "So, after the Kartis Family trial, find an opportunity to kill him."


    "Agreed."


    The Kartis Family, spoken of as a vast and powerful clan, is considered among the top tier forces within the entire empire. Apart from Kartis Sham, who is known as a seventh rank King Realms, it is rumored that several elders also possess King Realm abilities, though their identities remain extremely secretive, generally unknown to outsiders.


    Naturally, the Kartis Family''s sphere of influence is also exceedingly extensive. Looking down from the sky, one can see a vast ring shaped area surrounded by densely packed buildings, all of which are territories of the Kartis Family.


    Towering city walls, standing several dozen meters tall, and the omnipresent Kartis Family guards all signify the majesty and dominance of this colossal entity. Even some powerful King realms experts must consciously lower their voices and humble themselves when passing through, to avoid provoking this mighty family.


    At this moment, in the very center of the Kartis Family''s domain, stands a massive circular mirror, nearly a hundred meters in diameter. The mirror''s surface is as smooth as water, and under the sunlight, it shimmers with a clear luster. The eager gazes of all the young people around are fixed on this huge circular mirror.


    This object is the medium to open the ancient land of the Kartis Family. Soon, they will enter this place to compete for opportunities with their strength. Whether they can earn the favor of the Kartis Family depends entirely on this chance.


    Besides these young participants, the surrounding audience is also packed, a sea of dark figures nearly merging into one. Many among them are emanating a vast aura.


    "Kartis Van, have you remembered everything I instructed you?"


    In the most prominent position among the audience sits a middle aged man with a stern face. He looks at the bustling crowd below, his fingers interlocked, and speaks slowly.


    This man is none other than the head of the Kartis Family, Kartis Sham.


    "Father, don''t worry. He''s just a despicable person from a small place. If he crosses paths with me, it''s his bad luck," Kartis Van said with a proud smile.


    "Let''s hope so," Kartis Sham replied indifferently. He then raised his right hand and gently traced the scar at the corner of his eye. Upon seeing this action, the elders of the Kartis Family instinctively averted their gaze.


    This scar is Kartis Sham''s taboo. Once, a guest of the Kartis Family, feeling familiar with Kartis Sham, inadvertently joked about the scar. Kartis Sham instantly flew into a rage, grabbed the guest by his robe, soared into the sky, and then hurled him down hard, turning him into a pile of flesh.


    Since then, facing this scar, everyone has fallen silent.


    "Blaze Ash, you were truly ruthless back then."


    Muttering softly to himself, Kartis Sham''s finger slowly traced along the scar''s path, moving until it reached the center of his scalp, where it finally stopped. In his deep eyes, a cold light flashed.


    He would never forget that day when Blaze Ash dragged him by the hair from the gates of Snow City all the way to the Kartis Family''s premises. This humiliation, whenever it came to mind, caused his hands to tremble uncontrollably, despite being a seventh rank King Realms expert.

 Chapter 377 Arrived

    "Blaze Ash, over the years, I''ve had countless ways to eliminate you, but that would be too easy for you. I want to destroy everything you care about, piece by piece, and then, at your most desperate and painful moment, I will do to you what you did to me, right in front of all the powerful figures of Snow Storm City," Kartis Sham said with a calm face, but the sinister coldness at the corners of his mouth betrayed his intentions. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Unlike the Kartis Family members, most of the audience was unaware of the secrets of the past, so whispers of excitement and curiosity rose from all directions.


    "I heard that the descendant of the Flame Emperor will also participate in this assessment. I wonder if it''s true."


    "Of course, it''s true. News from the Kartis Family doesn''t lie. However, I''m curious to know who is stronger between him and Kartis Van."


    "I''m betting on Kartis Van. The Flame Emperor might be strong, but what of it? His descendant might turn out to be a failure. Moreover, it seems that person grew up in a remote small town, lacking the training resources and other advantages that Kartis Van has."


    Unaware of the lively scene at the Kartis Family, Blaze Regret knew nothing about it, as he had not yet stepped through the Kartis Family gates.


    "So you say your name is Blaze Regret?"


    In front of the tightly closed Kartis Family gates, a young man with his arms crossed looked at the person before him with interest. His gaze particularly lingered on the small, pet like Red, and a strong expression of disdain appeared on his face.


    This young man was named Kartis Amir. He usually was quite close with Kartis Van, who had told him a few days ago to find a way to harass Blaze Regret today.


    And Kartis Amir clearly remembered this point well.


    "If there''s nothing else, you can step aside," Blaze Regret said, unmoved, his voice still incredibly indifferent.


    "You''ve got personality, I like that."


    Kartis Amir smiled faintly, his expression tinged with a bit of mockery. "The gates of the Kartis Family aren''t so easy to enter. First, do you have an invitation for this trial?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned. The Kartis Family''s invitation had just been delivered to him, but he had crushed it in his hand without a second thought. He hadn''t expected Kartis Amir to use this against him.


    "No invitation, huh? That makes things a bit tricky."


    The smile on Kartis Amir''s face grew even more pronounced. "If you can''t get through the Kartis Family''s gate and miss the trial, will people think I kept you out, or will they more likely assume you lacked the courage to compete with the Kartis Family''s prodigies and fled without a fight? I think it would probably be the latter."


    Hearing these words, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes narrowed slightly. "What exactly do you want?"


    "It''s simple."


    Kartis Amir snapped his fingers and said with a sly grin, "Knock on the door yourself and shout, ''Uncle Kartis, Nephew Blaze Regret has come to pay respects.'' Perhaps someone will come to open the door for you. Otherwise, you''ll have to step over me."


    Looking at Kartis Van''s smug face, a slight curve suddenly appeared at the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth.


    "Alright."


    Inside the Kartis Family.


    "Father, could it be that the kid named Blaze Regret has seen the majesty of our Kartis Family and doesn''t dare to come in?" Kartis Van rested his chin on his hand, casually glancing at the mirror, which was gradually becoming more vibrant, and spoke with boredom.


    In the audience, there were quite a few who shared his opinion. Among them, some leaders of second rate and third rate forces frowned. They had come not only to show respect to Kartis Sham but also out of a desire to see the young man named Blaze Regret.


    Regarding Blaze Ash, there were those who admired him and those who harbored hidden malice, though none of their thoughts were revealed on their faces.


    "Ha, it seems we won''t be seeing any good drama today."


    In a prominent position, a burly man with a cold sneer on his face let his hand wander freely over the body of a young girl beside him. Despite her trembling, the girl dared not resist at all. This was because the man was none other than Shentu Sha, the lord of Tiger Demon Mountain.


    However, just as his voice faded, the sturdy gates of the Kartis Family suddenly shattered. A disheveled figure flew through the air in a parabolic arc and skidded across the ground for several dozen meters before coming to a slow halt.


    Amidst the flying splinters of wood, a young figure emerged. He walked straight over the fallen Kartis Amir and then let his gaze sweep across the audience, pausing for a moment on the middle aged man beside Kartis Van.


    Then, with a slight smile, his calm voice resonated through the air.


    "Uncle Kartis, your nephew Blaze Regret has come to pay respects."


    Blaze Regret''s voice, laced with a hint of a smile, slowly hovered over the Kartis Family''s residence. The previously noisy atmosphere instantly fell silent, and everyone''s gaze shifted from the damaged gate to Blaze Regret''s delicate face.


    Kartis Amir, who was lying on the ground, looked both angry and sorrowful. He had just casually mentioned it, yet Blaze Regret had truly stepped over him. This place was filled with nearly half of the strong individuals from Snow Storm City. He feared he would no longer have the face to show himself in public.


    "How dare you!"


    The dead silence in the scene lasted for a few breaths of time. Then, an elder from the Kartis Family slammed the armrest of his chair with his hand, stood up angrily, and unleashed the pressure of a fifth tier Spirit Lord Master upon Blaze Regret.


    (If you like this novel please support by gift and power stone)

 Chapter 378 Begin

    Swept by this pressure, Blaze Regret stood there with a calm expression. Despite appearing to have only the strength of a ninth tier Spirit Imperial Master, even the pressure from a sixth tier Spirit Lord Master could hardly cause him any discomfort.After all, the ethereal lotus spirit beast from the Fourth Spirit portal had slain a sixth tier lord level spirit beast, and Blaze Regret, influenced by it, had spiritual power far stronger than before.


    "Kartis Kai, I didn''t expect that after three years, you still couldn''t make me take a step back." Blaze Regret''s eyes, as dark as night, slowly lifted to look at the elder with an angry face. His calm voice flowed from his mouth.


    The Kartis Family elder who first attacked was surprisingly Blaze Regret''s old acquaintance, Kartis Kai.


    "You..."


    Biting his teeth tightly, Kartis Kai glared at Blaze Regret in anger, but inside, he was extremely shocked. Blaze Regret''s growth far exceeded his expectations. As a ninth tier Spirit Imperial Master, he was almost comparable to Kartis Van.


    "So it was you!"


    Behind Kartis Kai, an older man of the eighth tier Spirit Lord Master level suddenly stood up, glaring at Blaze Regret with eyes full of rage and shouted, "You little brat, give me back my grandson''s life!"


    Looking at the elder, Blaze Regret squinted slightly, as if recognizing an old acquaintance.


    In the Hiltan Mountains, he had once seen this person through a virtual image.


    This was Kartis Miller''s grandfather, Kartis Ben.


    As soon as this voice sounded, the entire scene erupted in an uproar. Many people were somewhat familiar with Kartis Ben. His grandson, Kartis Miller, was once a somewhat famous figure among the younger generation in Snow Storm City. However, he had suddenly disappeared without a trace.


    From Kartis Ben''s roar, could it be that the missing Kartis Miller was killed by Blaze Regret?


    Ignoring the two elders, Blaze Regret''s gaze slowly swept over the young people present. Many of them were also staring coldly at him, creating a scene as if a lone sheep had suddenly wandered into a wolf pack.


    Clenching his fist tightly, Kartis Van looked at Kartis Amir, who was lying on the ground, with an incredibly somber expression. He had already vaguely guessed what had just transpired.


    In contrast, Kartis Sham''s face remained calm. However, the slightly trembling corners of his mouth betrayed his suppressed anger.


    In Blaze Regret, he vaguely saw the shadow of Blaze Ash, which caused his murderous intent to surge even more intensely.


    "This young fellow''s style is almost identical to that of Blaze Ash back in the day."


    In a conspicuous spot, a scholarly looking man in white gently waved the paper fan in his hand. Despite his seemingly frail appearance, no one dared to underestimate him.


    This was because the special emblem on his chest revealed his identity.


    The master of Angsana Pavillion, Mut Abu.


    "This is truly outrageous."


    Sitting next to Mut Abu, Stone Yee shook his head with a wry smile. "What if Kartis Sham loses his temper and kills him? After all, the Flame Emperor''s deterrent power has waned significantly nowadays."


    The elder on Mut Abu''s right side remained silent, his eyes fixed on Blaze Regret with a gaze as sharp as a knife, lips pressed tightly together.


    "Gen Yun, are you feeling unwell?" Mut Abu turned to look at the gloom faced Gen Yun and asked with a smile.


    "It''s nothing, just caught a cold, that''s all. Thank you for your concern, Hall Master," Gen Yun replied, his expression changing slightly, accompanied by a dry laugh.


    Upon hearing this explanation, Stone Yee was left speechless. Cultivators, after reaching the level of a Spirit Lord Master, were no longer susceptible to common illnesses. It was clear how flustered Gen Yun was to resort to such an excuse.


    "Good to hear," Mut Abu nodded, maintaining a warm smile, though a subtle sharpness flickered in the depths of his eyes.


    "Hall Master, if Kartis Sham makes a move later, should we..." Stone Yee hesitated, uncertain about what to ask.


    "Don''t worry. Blaze Regret''s actions are merely testing Kartis Sham''s limits. Judging by the current situation, it seems this test has reached its conclusion." Mut Abu''s gaze swept over Kartis Sham, and he spoke softly, "Moreover, his goal is related to something from the past. If I''m not mistaken, that item is likely with Blaze Regret. Even if Kartis Sham wants to act, under the watchful eyes of so many powerful figures, he has to suppress his fiery anger."


    Fixing his gaze on the smiling Blaze Regret, Kartis Sham''s chest rose and fell slightly. After a moment, he waved his hand with a dark expression. "Everyone, sit down. Nephew Blaze is the descendant of my brother Blaze. Are you trying to put me in an unjust position by behaving like this?"


    Your journey continues with empire


    Hearing this, Kartis Kai and Kartis Ben were momentarily stunned before reluctantly sitting down, though their eyes, filled with murderous intent, remained locked on Blaze Regret.


    "The Kartis Family head truly values relationships. Even when the son of an old friend kills his clansman, he doesn''t hold him accountable. The Flame Emperor indeed made a good brother!"


    Those with lesser strength in the crowd, largely unaware of the full story, quietly admired the scene, murmuring praises.


    However, there were quite a few who were secretly sneering, knowing that this same "good brother" had ruthlessly betrayed the Flame Emperor during his time of crisis. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "Nephew Blaze, please enter," Kartis Sham said from his seat, gazing deeply at Blaze Regret. The coldness in his eyes was sharp enough to prick Blaze Regret''s skin slightly.


    Blaze Regret slowly made his way to the edge of the group of young people, feeling the unfriendly stares around him. He shrugged indifferently and then lifted his gaze to meet Kartis Van''s icy stare, responding with a faint smile.

 Chapter 379 Ambush

    The recent test had confirmed Blaze Regret''s earlier suspicions: Kartis Sham was indeed a man concerned with appearances and would not openly tear open the past in front of all these powerful figures.Therefore, the real storm would come during the trial.


    "The trial will once again be held in the Kartis Family''s ancient grounds. The ranking will be determined by the number of Thunder Soul Beads each of you acquires. Those who rank in the top three will enjoy the Kartis Family''s abundant cultivation resources, and your families will receive the Kartis Family''s protection."


    Kartis Sham stood up, his resonant voice echoing in everyone''s ears.


    "Activate the Ancient Mirror!"


    With a deep voice, Kartis Sham''s words, wrapped in spiritual energy, spread across a vast area, instantly heightening the tension among all the young people present. Their eyes were fervently fixed on the gigantic mirror surface standing in the center, which was beginning to ripple.


    "Buzz!"


    As the ripples spread, a desolate land gradually emerged from within the mirror, exuding an ancient and vast aura.


    This was the renowned secret realm of the Kartis Family, the Kartis Family''s Ancient Land.


    "Go!"


    The atmosphere was ignited by someone in the crowd, and variously colored spiritual portals swiftly appeared, sketched out of thin air. Immediately, figures resembling a swarm of locusts rushed towards the huge mirror surface with the sound of wind breaking.


    This scene was indeed visually striking.


    A low rumble of thunder came from afar as Kartis Van, riding on the back of a Silver Thunder Wolf, swept past like a dazzling flash of lightning. A faint, mocking voice reached Blaze Regret''s ears.


    "I told you, be careful. Whatever you do, don''t let me end up killing you."


    Narrowing his eyes at Kartis Van''s retreating figure, a cold light flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes. With a forceful step, he propelled himself forward, the air exploding in his wake, swiftly darting towards the mirror surface and disappearing into it in an instant.


    As the last person entered, the ripples on the mirror quickly dissipated, replaced by images of those participating in the trial.


    "Blaze Ash, that item will be mine sooner or later."


    Watching Blaze Regret''s figure fade away, Kartis Sham''s gaze gradually turned cold.


    "Swish!"


    Upon stepping into the mirror, Blaze Regret flipped in mid air and landed steadily on the ground. A gust of sandy wind roared past, causing him to squint slightly.


    Straightening up, Blaze Regret slowly scanned his surroundings. To his surprise, only a few people had landed near him. Upon seeing Blaze Regret, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly retreated into the distance.


    To them, a Ninth Stage Spirit Imperial Master like Blaze Regret was an unbeatable existence. Facing him meant a swift elimination unless they wished for it. Read exclusive adventures at empire


    "This is somewhat different from what I imagined."


    Ignoring those who fled, Blaze Regret took a few steps forward, his expression thoughtful.


    The area was completely isolated from the world, with towering mountains standing eternally in the distance. The ancient trees growing on them exuded a desolate aura.


    "Ah!"


    As Blaze Regret was surveying the ancient land, a piercing scream suddenly cut through the sky. It was a Sixth Stage Spirit Imperial Master, with a sand colored long snake wrapped around his throat. The snake was visibly siphoning his blood at an alarming speed.


    After being drained of blood, the young man''s face turned deathly pale as he fell backward, his stiff hands still clutching the snake''s body tightly. The lingering look of terror on his face was quite shocking to behold. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This is bad, it''s a Sand Viper!"


    Recognizing the snake that burrowed back into the ground, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed sharply. Flames flickered at his feet as his figure transformed into a black shadow, swiftly retreating.


    "Whoosh!"


    As he moved, the ground he had passed over began to writhe, and numerous sand colored long snakes shot out like lightning, their gaping maws aiming to bite his throat.


    A flash of red light streaked by as Red leaped down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Its sharp claws traced a semicircular arc of light, instantly severing the heads of several sand colored long snakes.


    Watching the headless snake bodies continue to writhe frantically, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Blaze Regret''s forehead. Although he remained calm during the danger, he felt a wave of lingering fear now that it had passed.


    The Sand Viper is a mid tier Imperial grade spirit beast with earth attributes. These creatures live only in remote, barren regions, often lying in ambush beneath sand or soil. They attack suddenly when other spirit beasts or spiritual masters pass by, draining their victims'' blood.


    Countless lives have met their end at the hands of these natural predators.


    "It seems this trial is far from as peaceful as I imagined," he murmured to himself. Just as Blaze Regret was about to leave with Red, the ground around him began to move rapidly like flowing water, forming a massive vortex with him at its center.


    Upon closer inspection, the vortex was teeming with countless figures that blended seamlessly with the earth, the Sand Vipers!


    "Their numbers...," Blaze Regret thought, feeling a slight tingle of dread. Even with his skills, escaping from such a large swarm of Sand Vipers seemed uncertain, unless he summoned the Ice Control Irenix and flew into the sky.


    However, doing so would reveal his trump card, the Third Spirit portal, which had never been shown in Snow Storm City. This could potentially bring unexpected trouble.


    After all, a Ninth Stage Spirit Imperial Master possessing a Third Stage Lord grade spirit beast was indeed quite unusual.


    "Heh, it seems my Wind Movement Technique has become more refined," he mused with a hint of wry amusement.


    A mocking laugh echoed down from above, causing Blaze Regret to look up with a slight change in expression. He saw a figure clad in light green attire looking down at him with a smirk.


    "It''s you."

 Chapter 380 Soul Kun

    Blaze Regret''s expression grew colder. The presence of such a large number of Sand Vipers was unusual unless someone was deliberately manipulating the situation.For instance, using wind based spiritual techniques to force the Sand Vipers out from underground, which was exactly what Blaze Regret was facing.


    "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Soul Kun."


    The man hovering in the air smiled down at Blaze Regret, his face full of sarcasm.


    "Someone from the Soul family," Blaze Regret muttered, his voice dripping with coldness.


    No wonder he had encountered such an unexpected situation upon entering; someone had been orchestrating this from the shadows all along.


    "Don''t look at me like that. If you beg, perhaps I''ll help collect your remains later," Soul Kun chuckled, his gaze shifting slightly. He glanced down, a playful look crossing his face. "It seems you''re destined to meet your end here today. Even such a massive creature has been forced out."


    "Whoosh!"


    As Soul Kun finished speaking, the ground in front of Blaze Regret suddenly split open. A colossal figure, about ten feet long, emerged with cascading soil, creating a breathtaking sight. Its menacing triangular pupils locked onto Blaze Regret, exuding a chilling aura.


    A foul stench permeated the air.


    It was the Sand Viper King, a Ninth Stage High Imperial grade spirit beast with earth attributes!


    The colossal Sand Viper King, entirely brown in color, was covered with scales resembling shattered rocks. Its chilling triangular pupils emitted an icy aura that could send shivers down one''s spine. With a light step back, Soul Kun retreated several hundred meters, gleefully watching the Sand Viper King emerge from the ground. To him, this was an unexpected delight.


    With his strength as an eighth level spirit Imperial master, combined with the numerous Sand Vipers, there was a possibility of killing Blaze Regret, although it was not guaranteed. However, with the appearance of the Sand Viper King, that possibility had evidently increased several times over.


    "I wonder how much the Kartis Family will reward me for taking him down," Soul Kun mused, his eyes gleaming as he gazed at Blaze Regret, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.


    "Hiss!"


    The scarlet snake tongue flicked lightly as the Sand Viper King slowly slithered around Blaze Regret''s position, encircling him and Red tightly within its elongated body in no time. Beneath its massive form, several Sand Vipers were crushed, their blood splattering and staining the soil red, yet the Sand Viper King remained indifferent, as if it couldn''t care less.


    A flash of cold light passed through its eyes as the Sand Viper King slightly raised its head before swiftly shooting downwards, its foul mouth wide open, viciously aiming to bite Blaze Regret.


    Just as the Sand Viper King''s fangs were only half a foot from Blaze Regret''s head, Red, enveloped in pale yellow flames, darted over like lightning. Its gleaming claws collided fiercely with the Sand Viper King diving downwards.


    "Clang!"


    A sound akin to metal clashing rang out, and a fiery ripple rapidly spread outward. The Sand Vipers caught in this ripple were directly severed in two, their cuts smooth as a mirror.


    Seeing Red entangled with the Sand Viper King, the surrounding Sand Vipers immediately redirected their bloodthirsty, greedy gaze towards Blaze Regret. Their tails flicked as they launched themselves toward the center en masse.


    "Sun Flame Wall!"


    Feeling the bloody wind enveloping him from all directions, Blaze Regret''s expression turned serious. He thrust his hands forward, and scorching pale yellow spiritual energy quickly spread, forming a flaming shield around him as the center.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    One by one, the Sand Vipers relentlessly crashed against the Sun Flame Wall. Inside, Blaze Regret''s forehead gradually became slick with sweat. If it were any other ninth level spirit Imperial master, they likely would have been unable to withstand such a fierce onslaught and would have succumbed to having their blood drained dry.


    Even for him, despite consuming a pill, he could only maintain this defense for a maximum of half a quarter of an hour. After all, the speed of refining the pill couldn''t keep up with the rapid depletion of his spiritual energy.


    "It''s still a bit too slow."


    With a faint wind swirling at his feet, Soul Kun glanced at the fierce battle between Red and the Sand Viper King, shrugged helplessly, and then smiled at Blaze Regret, who was surrounded by the swarm of snakes. "In that case, I''ll do something good to spare you some suffering."


    "Wind Motion Technique!"


    At the moment the last syllable fell, Soul Kun''s eyes sharpened. A pale cyan wind glow coiled around his palm as he swung it down fiercely towards Blaze Regret below.


    "Whoosh!"


    As Soul Kun''s hand swung down, a tornado infused with violent energy struck heavily around Blaze Regret. Instantly, the ground beneath him spun even more rapidly.


    "Not good!"


    Feeling the earth writhing beneath his feet, Blaze Regret''s expression shifted slightly. Just as he intended to summon the Ice Control Irenix to break through the Sand Viper swarm, the Sand Viper King, who had been entangled with Red, suddenly descended ominously, burrowing headfirst into the ground. Its powerful tail coiled tightly around Blaze Regret''s waist.


    In the next moment, the Sand Viper King, with Blaze Regret in its grip, vanished from the area, leaving behind only a dark, terrifyingly deep pit among the swarm of snakes, its destination unknown.


    "Roar!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret disappear without a trace, Red swiftly darted to the edge of the dark pit, anxiously peering down. Finding no trace, its eyes, filled with murderous intent, suddenly turned towards Soul Kun in midair.

    "Your spirit master is about to die. Why don''t you join him?"


    Soul Kun chuckled as he waved his hand, causing a figure entirely composed of wind energy to slowly materialize beside him.


    The figure was roughly the size of an adult human, with its lower portion resembling a spiraling whirlwind. Its two rotating wind arm blades were exceptionally thick, surrounded by small wind vortices that whipped up fierce gusts.

 Chapter 381

    This was the Storm Lord, an eighth level high level Imperial grade spiritual beast with wind attributes.Although this spiritual beast was only at the eighth level, its ability to hover made it formidable even against some ninth level Imperial grade spiritual beasts, which often found themselves helpless against it and could even be slowly tormented to death.


    With a cold gaze, the Storm Lord looked down at Red below. It slightly raised its right hand, and massive cyan wind blades began to form above it. These blades quickly slashed down towards Red with a fierce, rapid momentum, tearing through the air.


    "Roar!"


    Eyes filled with murderous intent, Red kicked off with its paws, diving into the pit, narrowly avoiding the sweeping cyan wind blades that managed to shear off a few strands of pale yellow fur.


    Meanwhile, in the dark pit:


    "Rustle, rustle!"


    Hearing the sound echoing around him, Blaze Regret, tightly bound by the Sand Viper King, felt a surge of cold determination. Silver spiritual energy welled up in his palm as he fiercely struck the Sand Viper King''s slick tail.


    A dull thud resounded as the Sand Viper King let out a pained hiss, involuntarily loosening its grip on Blaze Regret. At the point of impact, several blood streaked scales were sent flying.


    "In this place where no one can see, it''s time for me to take you down!"


    With sharp ice blades embedded deeply into the soil to prevent himself from falling, Blaze Regret''s eyes glinted with a fierce resolve. Moving swiftly, he held a gleaming ice blade in each hand, and without hesitation, he struck violently at the Sand Viper King''s head.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    As Blaze Regret charged downward, the Sand Viper King opened its mouth repeatedly, launching a barrage of sand arrows that struck the two swinging ice blades, causing them to crack.


    Though the ice blades shattered in his hands, Blaze Regret merely let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, dozens of sharp ice blades rapidly formed again, instantly piercing the Sand Viper King with countless wounds.


    "Smack!"


    Landing on the barely breathing head of the Sand Viper King, Blaze Regret slowly straightened his slightly bent body. His second spiritual portal was a third level high lord rank, making it easy for him to quickly conjure ten shattered ice blades in an instant.


    Thus, as long as it wasn''t a lord level spiritual beast, he was confident in his ability to kill it in a single strike.


    "Hmm?" Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He slightly raised his eyes and caught the falling Red, smiling faintly. Red, however, looked aggrieved, raising its fiery tail, which was now bare without any of its once beautiful fur at the tip.


    "I''ll get your revenge in a bit."


    Gently patting Red''s small head, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but chuckle. Just as he was about to follow the tunnel dug out by the Sand Viper King to the surface, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he glanced downward sharply:


    "Something''s not right. Why are there so many life auras below, and among them, several are no weaker than the Sand Viper King beneath my feet!" Explore stories on empire


    Feeling the numerous presences emanating from below, Blaze Regret''s expression fluctuated as he hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and summoning the most powerful Ethereal Lotus to his side.


    With a slight pout, Ethereal Lotus raised her hand gently, and a long, sharp vine shot out, drilling slowly into the soil below.


    Blinking her beautiful eyes, Ethereal Lotus extended the vine connected to her palm. After a long while, her eyes suddenly brightened as the sharp vine stopped moving. She then turned to look at Blaze Regret beside her.


    "Is it through?"


    Understanding the meaning in Ethereal Lotus''s eyes, Blaze Regret''s gaze grew more serious. It seemed that, as he had suspected, there was indeed something strange below.


    "Swish!"


    The long vine retracted into her palm. Ethereal Lotus raised her two soft little hands and took the spiritual fruit handed to her by Blaze Regret, chewing with satisfaction. Aside from eating, she rarely seemed to care about anything else.


    Gazing at the light emanating from the small hole, Blaze Regret tightened his grip on the ice shard blade in his hand. He then leaped off the head of the Sand Viper King, pressing his face against the soil to peer down below.


    "Gasp!"


    The scene below made Blaze Regret gasp in shock. It was an incredibly vast space with countless Sand Vipers lying quietly. In the center, several dozen Sand Viper Kings were crouching.


    However, the colors of these Sand Viper Kings were all dark red, and the aura they emitted clearly reached the level of mid tier lords grade. Though not as powerful as the Ice Control Irenix or Ethereal Lotus, they were far stronger than the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    After all, the latter had just recently broken through to the lord level and still needed some time to stabilize at this stage.


    Amidst the sea like swarm of Sand Vipers, there floated a palm sized rock fragment, surrounded by several peculiar runes that exuded a mysterious aura.


    "That thing... looks familiar¡­"


    Staring at the runes that resembled small wings, Blaze Regret felt a bit dazed. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, covering his mouth tightly with his right hand to stifle his gasp of surprise.


    "This emblem... it seems to be from the Sand Palace!"


    Shouting frantically in his mind, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but swallow hard, moistening his throat, which had become dry from the shock. It took several breaths before he could calm his excited emotions, but his gaze remained fixed on the mysterious rock fragment.


    Several hundred years ago, the situation in Snow Storm City was far more complex than it is now. Standing here was a colossal entity that could truly be called a sect.


    Its name was the Sand Palace! It was said that the contemporary palace master of the Sand Palace had almost reached the terrifying level of the peak Spirit King. However, for some unknown reason, the entire sect vanished without a trace overnight.

 Chapter 382 Sandwing Transformation

    At the time, this undoubtedly caused a huge uproar, and even the status of the Sun Moon Empire on the continent was affected, eventually being erased from the continent altogether.Even recalling these events now evokes a sense of sighing.


    But these were not enough to make Blaze Regret lose his composure. What he truly cared about was the Sand Palace''s secret art, the Sandwing Transformation!


    Ordinary spirit masters could only achieve flight by breaking through to the Spirit king level, where they could learn spirit techniques that allowed the wings of flying type spirit beasts from their spirit portal to emerge from their backs.


    However, the Sandwing Transformation of the Sand Palace enabled rock attribute spirit masters to condense wings at the Spirit Lord Master stage, without even needing a flying type spirit beast.


    It is easy to imagine how appealing and coveted such an extraordinary secret technique was.


    "That rock fragment should be related to the Sand Palace. However, those Sand Viper Kings could be extremely troublesome. Once provoked, it might be very difficult to escape unharmed."


    With his lips slightly pursed, Blaze Regret pondered for a moment, then clenched his hand tightly, finally making a decision.


    Fortune favors the bold; it''s worth the risk!


    With this thought, Blaze Regret turned his body slightly and nodded towards Ethereal Lotus.


    Dropping the fruit core from her hand, Ethereal Lotus glanced at the small hole she had drilled, her eyes slightly solemn. From within, she could vaguely sense auras even more powerful than her own.


    "Whoosh!"


    Without any hesitation, Ethereal Lotus waved her small hand, and a bright green seed shot into the hole like a bolt of lightning, then floated above the rock fragment under her control.


    Amidst the sound of a bud blooming, a deep crystalline blue flower quickly emerged, causing the spiritual energy in the surrounding air to become violently turbulent.


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous explosion echoed, and terrifying energy waves ravaged the vast space. The Sand Vipers and Sand Viper Kings, previously in a state of slumber, were instantly thrown into panic and chaos. The unsettling hissing of their snake tongues filled the air in a continuous cacophony.


    Amidst the chaos, a long, bright green vine shot into the middle of the snake swarm, snatching the rock fragment suspended in mid air.


    Holding the rock fragment that Ethereal Lotus handed over, Blaze Regret felt a momentary delight, but it quickly faded as he realized that the real trouble was just beginning.


    "Go!"


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s urgent shout, Red''s body rapidly expanded, transforming to the size of a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat. Instantly, it carried Blaze Regret, turning into a streak of pale yellow light, dashing furiously towards the exit of the deep cavern.


    In the blink of an eye, the soil below erupted in bursts, as all the Sand Vipers and Sand Viper Kings frantically chased after them, their eyes fixated on the rock fragment clutched in Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "Just as I thought."


    Seeing the sinister gazes below, Blaze Regret felt a slight heaviness in his heart. The fact that such a large number of rock attribute spirit beasts had gathered underground was evidently due to the power of this rock fragment.


    Had he not taken the most cautious action earlier, Ethereal Lotus''s vine might have been intercepted by the Sand Viper Kings. If a serpent swarm riot had been triggered, not only would obtaining the rock fragment have been impossible, but even escaping would have been a mere fantasy.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a vicious look, the Sand Vipers watched the pale yellow figure darting upward. Their mouths opened wide, releasing sharp sand arrows that spun with tiny whirlwinds, shooting out at an incredible speed.


    "Hmm?"


    Standing in mid air, Soul Kun had been waiting for some time. Seeing no unexpected incidents, he had mentally sentenced Blaze Regret to death. With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he was about to turn and leave to claim credit from the Kartis family when suddenly, the ground below began to undulate violently like a boiling sea.


    A flicker of confusion passed through Soul Kun''s eyes as he furrowed his brow slightly. Then, his expression changed dramatically. Several Sand Viper Kings burst forth from the earth, accompanied by flowing yellow sand. Their long bodies moved slowly, resembling giant pillars standing between heaven and earth.


    Amidst the swirling sand, a streak of pale yellow light, engulfed in blazing flames, leaped high into the air, accompanied by a clear Cat''s cry that echoed throughout.


    Seeing that figure, Soul Kun''s body instantly froze in place, his face covered in an intense disbelief. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sitting on the back of the leaping Red, Blaze Regret''s hair was slightly disheveled by the whistling cold wind, and the raging dust made his face sting.


    "Snap!"


    With a heavy step of its Cat paw, Red landed on the chaotic ground. Without any hesitation, it harnessed all its spiritual power and darted forward with a speed like a flaming arrow shot from a bow.


    Behind it, the ground continuously burst open as Sand Viper Kings lunged with vicious eyes, their sharp teeth dripping with venom.


    Feeling the foul wind that roared past the back of his head, Blaze Regret shuddered. That Sand Viper King had the power of a seventh rank lord grade!


    As Red dashed forward, a number of Sand Viper Kings swiftly pursued, followed by a dense swarm of Sand Vipers. From the sky, they resembled a terrifying mudslide.


    "You unlucky guy, it seems your situation is quite dire. Let me add to the fire." Stay tuned for updates on empire


    Standing in mid air, Soul Kun wore a mocking expression. He waved a hand behind him, and the violent spiritual power of the Storm Lord surged out, sending countless blue wind blades to cover Blaze Regret.


    "Swish!"


    The sharp wind blades tore the ground ahead of Red, causing it to halt abruptly, its claws digging into the ground and leaving a mark several tens of feet long.

 Chapter 383 Chase

    At the moment Red forcibly stopped, arrows made of yellow sand, their tips wrapped with invisible force, whistled through the air. One arrow grazed its side, drawing a trace of blood."Quick, go!"


    Glancing back at the dozens of surging Sand Viper Kings, Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted, cold sweat seeping from his palms. Even Ethereal Lotus would have to avoid confronting such a number of Sand Viper Kings, let alone the ninth ranked Red.


    Gritting its teeth, three streams of light swirled around Red, and its speed soared, breaking through the encirclement of Sand Viper Kings in an instant.


    However, the wind blades continued to fiercely shoot down from the sky, accompanied by Soul Kun''s hearty laughter echoing through the air.


    "Change course three thousand feet ahead. There are many peaks there. Even if they can''t completely stop the Sand Viper Kings, they can at least slow them down," Blaze Regret said in a deep voice, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he glanced at Soul Kun. As for the Imperial grade Sand Vipers, he automatically ignored them; it wouldn''t be long before they were left far behind.

    "Think you can escape? It''s not that easy," Soul Kun said with a sly smile. "Besides, if you get away, I''ll lose a lot of fun. So, you''d better stay."


    Hearing Soul Kun''s light laughter, the Storm Lord struck out with a palm. Light green spiritual power surged and transformed into a massive wind blade about a meter wide. The surface of the wind blade rippled like water, producing waves.


    In the next moment, the gigantic wind blade descended with a sharp sound of cutting through the air, so sharp that it even tore the air apart.


    Advanced Imperial Level Spiritual Skill: Whistling Wind Blade!


    "Get lost!"


    Gazing at the whistling wind blade, Blaze Regret''s eyes grew increasingly cold. Under normal circumstances, such an attack wouldn''t even withstand a single blow from him, but now, with Soul Kun taking advantage of the distance, it posed a significant problem.


    With fire flickering in his eyes, Red suddenly raised its head, and two pale yellow beams of spiritual power shot out, instantly shattering the Whistling Wind Blade to pieces.


    "Get lost?"


    Although surprised by Red''s strength, Soul Kun showed no fear. Instead, he laughed indifferently. "You''re quite angry, aren''t you? A ninth rank spirit Imperial master being toyed with by me. You want me to leave, but I won''t. If you have the ability, kill me."


    With that, Soul Kun provocatively descended to hover above Blaze Regret''s head, his arrogant laughter provoking the Sand Viper Kings behind to become even more agitated.


    "Hold on. If you stop, you''ll be surrounded by the Sand Viper Kings and won''t be able to escape. I promise, I won''t let him die easily."


    Calming the gritting Red, a cold light flashed in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes. In his heart, Soul Kun was already marked for death.


    Soul Kun, in his excited state, was clearly unconcerned. So what if Blaze Regret harbored murderous intent? In the end, Blaze Regret would still be toyed with to death. The thought of the reward from the Kartis family filled him with anticipation.

    "Hmm? The mountains are just ahead. Storm Lord, don''t let them pass. Use Storm Assault!"


    Nodding slightly, the Storm Lord thrust both palms forward. The biting cold wind rapidly converged, transforming into a massive storm tornado, its mournful howling resonating through the sky.


    "Swish!"


    The storm tornado roared down, and as it swept through, the air rapidly fled, and even the raging yellow sand was ground into dust.


    "Red, Split Shadow!"


    With Blaze Regret''s shout, Red''s body shuddered, splitting into two identical forms. One, carrying Red''s essence, shot forward swiftly, while the other was engulfed by the descending tornado, shredded into spiritual light particles.


    "Go up."


    Seeing the peaks towering ahead, Blaze Regret''s eyes brightened slightly. Beneath him, Red climbed swiftly, using the protruding rocks as footholds. Yellow sand arrows exploded beneath them, but the mountain''s rocks were remarkably tough, showing no signs of cracking.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    The pursuing Sand Viper Kings continuously collided with the mountain walls. At the peak, Blaze Regret watched the scene below and let out a slight sigh of relief.


    Clearly, even if the Sand Viper Kings could climb up, they were far slower than Red. The chain of mountains was like a natural barrier.


    "Heh, I didn''t expect you to actually get away," Soul Kun sneered, showing a vicious smile. But even if Blaze Regret escaped the Sand Viper Kings, surely his fire Cat''s spiritual power was nearly depleted.


    "In that case, I''ll personally take you down."


    Soul Kun murmured, and wind blades swirled around his outstretched hand. He then lightly pressed down toward the Storm Leader.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the figure charged downward, the Storm Lord''s right arm transformed into a sharp wind blade. The emitted sharp fluctuations sliced through the air below.


    "You thought I was ignoring you because I couldn''t deal with you?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly. Four pale yellow light shadows shot out from behind him, pinning the descending Storm Lord in mid air.


    "Crack!"


    With difficulty, the Storm Lord lowered its head to gaze at its shattered spiritual core. Its body rapidly thinned until, in the blink of an eye, only a trace of pale blue wind light remained, dispersing into the surrounding sky and earth.


    Soul Kun''s mouth opened slightly, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.


    Pale cyan fragments of the spirit core slowly scattered, swept away by the howling winds to an unknown destination. Crimson blood trickled from the corner of Soul Kun''s mouth, yet he stood petrified in mid air like a stunned wooden chicken. It wasn''t until his chaotic spiritual energy could no longer support his expenditure that he hastily snapped back to reality, staring in horror at the four waving fiery tails.


    His Storm Lord had been effortlessly obliterated in an instant?

 Chapter 384 Malfunctions

    Escape!Just as this thought emerged in his mind, Soul Kun despairingly saw the four fiery tails suddenly twist, wrapping around his waist like agile serpents.


    "You can''t kill me, I''m from the Soul Family!"


    Suspended by the Red before Blaze Regret, Soul Kun twisted his body frantically, his face etched with deep fear.


    This wasn''t Snow Storm City, where laughable rules were strictly adhered to. Here, even if blood flowed like a river, no one would intervene or care.


    "Didn''t you want me to kill you?"


    Blaze Regret looked at Soul Kun''s trembling face with extreme indifference. The previous situation had been perilous enough, and Soul Kun had nearly pushed him into the abyss of death multiple times.


    Below, this area was evidently the natural battlefield of the Sand Viper King and the sand viper swarm. Once surrounded, unless a Spirit King master intervened, it would be nearly impossible to escape even with all four spiritual portals open.


    "Spare me, and I won''t make a move against you in the future!" Soul Kun shouted in fear, but his voice carried no hint of submission.


    "Kill him."


    Uninterested in further discourse with Soul Kun, Blaze Regret turned away, casually waving his hand.


    Even now, Soul Kun clung to his pitiful pride, pretending to beg for mercy while in truth, still issuing threats.


    "Ugh!"


    His gaze, fierce and penetrating, fixed upon the person who had been causing trouble since entering the ancient land. Suddenly, the Four fiery tails of Red became extremely sharp. Soul Kun''s pupils contracted instantly, and his body was unexpectedly sliced into four pieces.


    The Sand Viper Kings naturally had no reason to let such a sudden meal slip by. With mouths wide open, they devoured Soul Kun''s body entirely, even fighting among themselves in the process.


    "Tail Blade?"


    Turning his head sharply, Blaze Regret looked with delight at Red''s four fiery tails, now as sharp as blades. He hadn''t anticipated that the Tail Blade spiritual technique could be used in conjunction with the Four Tail Spear, likely enhancing its destructive power by more than one level.


    "I''ll call it the Four Tail Blade."


    Having coined a new name for the spiritual technique in his mind, Blaze Regret slowly lifted his head, grinning slightly at the empty sky. He wondered what the head of the Soul Family would feel upon learning of Soul Kun''s death.


    Probably, he would wish even more for my demise.


    With a nonchalant smile, Blaze Regret sat on Red''s back, traversing several mountain peaks and disappearing from view. Below, the numerous Sand Viper Kings, sensing the fading presence, let out angry hisses.

    The sight of the myriad snakes moving simultaneously was enough to make one''s heart tremble.


    Outside the ancient mirror.


    "Heh, I didn''t expect Blaze Ash''s descendant to be nothing special."


    Sitting not far from the Kartis Family, Soul Lin looked up at Blaze Regret being dragged into a deep cave by the Sand Viper King, a mocking smile spreading across his face. His son''s ability to stand out in such a highly scrutinized situation filled him with pride.


    "He''s actually emerged again?"


    After a moment, seeing Blaze Regret riding Red back into the scene, Soul Lin''s brows furrowed. The scene flashed, and he was infuriated to witness the image of Soul Kun being sliced into pieces.


    "You little brat, I want you dead!"


    With a sudden surge, Soul Lin stood up, his voice filled with murderous intent, causing the murmuring crowd to instantly fall silent. All eyes turned to the visibly agitated Soul Lin.


    "Master Soul, please maintain your temper." S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Kartis Sham turned his head and glanced at Soul Lin with calm indifference. Soul Lin''s body trembled, and he quickly sat back down, unable to control himself. Despite being an eighth level Spirit Lord Master, he was clearly wary of Kartis Sham, a seventh level Spirit King Realm.


    Even though the Soul Family was currently a vassal to the Kartis Family.


    "Just wait, I will tear you to pieces!"


    Soul Lin''s eyes brimmed with killing intent as he watched Blaze Regret''s figure disappear over the mountain peak. His grip on the armrest tightened slightly, and when he raised his hand, the armrest had been twisted into a pile of fragments.


    After crossing several mountain peaks, Red''s feet gradually came to a halt. Blaze Regret scanned the area behind him and exhaled lightly.


    It seemed that those terrifying entities had finally been shaken off.


    "Master Magi, is there a way to block the ancient mirror''s surveillance?"


    Though appearing to gaze into the distance, Blaze Regret''s voice emerged quietly, like the hum of a mosquito.


    Although the ancient mirror could only cast one person''s image at a time, the very thought of it made his skin crawl. No one would be pleased with the possibility of being watched without consent.


    "Heh, it''s just a broken mirror. In ancient times, there were thousands of such mirrors. As long as one''s strength reached the Spirit King level, it was possible to block it by forcefully isolating one''s aura."


    As Master Magi''s light laughter echoed, golden runes, invisible to the outside world, flowed rapidly around Blaze Regret. Moments later, with a swift motion, they were absorbed into his body.


    "Did it go dark?"


    In the square, everyone was taken aback as they looked at the now pitch black mirror. They then turned puzzled gazes toward Kartis Sham.


    "This mirror is merely a relic from ancient times, already damaged. Therefore, encountering some unusual situations is to be expected."


    Kartis Sham waved his hand, and a completely different scene appeared once again. Upon seeing the new images, the doubts and suspicions in the hearts of the crowd gradually dissipated.


    "The ancient mirror never malfunctions. Could it possibly be the influence of that particular item?"


    With this thought, a broad smile quickly spread across Kartis Sham''s face as he mused to himself.


    Thirty years ago, I missed out on that item, and Blaze Ash benefited from it, gaining the opportunity to leap through the Dragon Gate. However, this time, I definitely won''t let it slip through my fingers.

 Chapter 385

    As his hand clenched tightly, the sinister smile at the corner of Kartis Sham''s mouth betrayed his uncontainable ambition.Walking slowly through the desolate mountains, Blaze Regret held the mysterious rock fragment in his left hand and twirled the Heal Pendant in his right. After a moment''s hesitation, he finally couldn''t resist asking, "Master Magi, what exactly is this Heal Pendant? If it merely has the ability to recover quickly, it wouldn''t drive so many powerful figures to such extremes."


    After a brief silence, Master Magi''s calm voice arose from within the Void realms Stone.


    "This item is a Star Dragon Pearl that fell from the Imperial Star Dragon''s body."


    "Oh."


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret suddenly understood, but then his steps abruptly halted, and his delicate face was filled with a look of astonishment.


    "Imperial... Imperial Star Dragon?"


    Upon hearing the name from Master Magi''s mouth, Blaze Regret''s face was filled with disbelief.


    The Imperial Star Dragon is said to be the creator of the stars on this continent. Every star that twinkles in the night sky is crafted by its dragon claws. Of course, this is merely a legend.


    Thus, hearing this name with his own ears, Blaze Regret''s heart was undeniably shaken.


    Could this mythical spirit beast actually exist?


    "Let''s talk while we walk," Master Magi''s figure appeared, pointing at the rock fragment in Blaze Regret''s hand that was wrapped with mysterious runes, and smiled.


    Nodding with a dry mouth, Blaze Regret infused a trace of spiritual power into the rock fragment. Instantly, a faint beam of spiritual light shot into the distant horizon.


    "That should be the direction where the Sand Palace is located!"


    With a hint of delight in his eyes, Blaze Regret sat on the back of the Red and charged forward, leaving a long trail of dust behind.


    "The Imperial Star Dragon is a powerful spirit beast that has existed since ancient times. As for how many years it has lived, no one knows anymore because it has only appeared in the world a few times, and the most recent appearance was three million years ago."


    "Three million years ago..." Blaze Regret''s mouth slightly opened, letting in a gust of cold wind. The sheer length of time was simply unimaginable. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "At that time, the Imperial Star Dragon engaged in a battle of epic proportions with the leader of the mystical beasts. The sky and the earth were torn apart, and the land, which originally covered the majority of the area, was quickly filled with seawater, turning into a sea region. Eventually, it was only with the intervention of several other continent guardians that the potentially continent destroying confrontation was stopped. Both the Imperial Star Dragon and the leader of the mystical beasts suffered varying degrees of injury."


    "Among them, two of the nine Star Dragon Pearls surrounding the Imperial Star Dragon were scattered. One broke through the shackles of the river of time, forming a new celestial spirit beast known as the Heavenly Imperial Star, while the other fell into a spatial rift, its whereabouts unknown until it reappeared on the continent thirty years ago."


    "Is it really this one?"


    Blaze Regret looked incredulously at the dazzling star pendant in his palm. Could this object truly be a part of the Imperial Star Dragon?


    "Indeed," Master Magi nodded slowly.


    Blaze Regret''s throat moved slightly as he swallowed, and his hand trembled a bit. The Imperial Star Dragon was a mythical level spirit beast, with only the leader of the mystical beasts having the qualification to contend with it. He never imagined he would have the opportunity to touch one of its Star Dragon Pearls.


    "So, is the Imperial Star Dragon still alive?" Blaze Regret looked up at Master Magi, his expression complex. He had no desire to be inexplicably eliminated by such an existence one day. This Star Dragon Pearl was undoubtedly a hot potato.


    "It should still be alive. With beings like that, who really knows?" Master Magi shrugged, speaking in a lazy tone. "But even if it is, so what? Aren''t you curious about what this Star Dragon Pearl actually does?"


    Master Magi''s enticing words made Blaze Regret tighten his grip slightly on the star pendant, and then he nodded heavily. After all this time, it''s possible that the spirit beast may have long since vanished in the river of time.


    Comforting himself with that thought, Blaze Regret''s expression brightened a bit. That majestic name felt like a heavy mountain, one that would be difficult for anyone to bear.


    "Heh, I knew it," Master Magi smiled faintly. "The most terrifying aspect of the Imperial Star Dragon is its incredible regenerative ability. It''s said that the leader of the mystical beasts controls one of the most fearsome flames in existence, the Calamity Flame. Even opponents of equal strength would turn to ash upon contact. Yet, the Imperial Star Dragon withstood the burning of the Calamity Flame thanks to its extraordinary healing ability." Continue your journey on empire


    "Rapid healing, that I understand," Blaze Regret said.


    "No, you don''t," Master Magi replied.


    Turning his head, Master Magi looked intently at the star pendant in Blaze Regret''s hand. "You''ve only witnessed its meager surface level healing ability. What''s truly terrifying is that if you were to fuse it into the spiritual core of any spirit beast in your spiritual portal, that beast would gain a recovery speed second only to the Imperial Star Dragon itself."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s heart leaped, and his face was filled with astonishment.


    Doesn''t that imply that as long as the strength difference isn''t too great, the beast would be nearly impossible to kill, effectively granting it an immortal status?


    "But I have more than one spirit beast," Blaze Regret said with a slight headache. Although he was extremely tempted by the effect, he felt uncomfortable about choosing which spirit beast to enhance. It seemed to imply he had to pick a favorite.


    For him, both the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, the Ice Control Irenix, and the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros were irreplaceable.

 Chapter 386 Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood

    "You could refine it yourself," Master Magi suggested with a half smile."No way, I don''t want to die," Blaze Regret quickly waved his hand, his expression slightly changing. This was a part of the Imperial Star Dragon''s body; even a Spirit Sovereign expert would probably not dare to try. The overwhelming energy could make him explode instantly.


    "I was just suggesting," Master Magi chuckled. "Besides the remarkable healing speed, the Star Dragon Pearl has another unique feature. It can absorb spiritual energy from other elements. Back in the day, the nine Star Dragon Pearls of the Imperial Star Dragon absorbed the Calamity Flame from the leader of the mystical beasts, which allowed it to barely win a match with its powerful spiritual skills."


    "That doesn''t seem very useful to me," Blaze Regret said, gazing at the star pendant with a slight pout.


    "The last effect, however, might interest you," Master Magi said with a mysterious smile. "If you keep the star pendant with you at all times, it will automatically absorb stellar energy from the sky, converting it into absorbable spiritual power, which it will then distribute to all your spiritual portals, thereby unconsciously increasing your cultivation speed."


    "Hiss!"


    Drawing in a sharp breath, Blaze Regret finally understood why Kartis Sham and the others were so interested in this item. With this in his possession, future cultivation would become much easier.


    Especially for him, as he needed to simultaneously enhance all his spirit beasts while dealing with extremely limited time and resources. In this light, the star pendant formed from the Star Dragon Pearl seemed tailor made for him.

    "Heh, now that I know its true purpose, there''s no way I''m handing it over."


    Blaze Regret grinned. Even if this item was a hot potato, he would do everything in his power to protect it. If anyone dared to reach for it, he''d deal with them decisively.


    "Hmm?"


    A particularly domineering wave of spiritual power emanated from ahead. Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly, then was astonished to see sharp vines waving through the air, filling the entire vast valley in front of him.


    Amidst those vines, there seemed to be shouting voices echoing.


    "Looks like there''s something big in there."


    Enjoy new tales from empire


    Carefully placing the Heal pendant and rock fragment into his void realms stone, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s lips.


    "Aren''t you going to search for the Thunder Soul Bead?" Master Magi''s expression was somewhat puzzled, considering that the trial''s outcome depended on the number of Thunder Soul Beads collected.


    "I never cared much about winning. My main reason for being here is to challenge the Kartis Family."


    Excitement flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes. "So, if there''s something to gain, I might as well seize the opportunity."


    "Red, let''s go!"


    In the expansive valley, vast swathes of verdant green vines danced wildly. Amidst the dense gaps between these vines, countless figures darted swiftly. Each movement of the vines unleashed a flurry of blood arrows.


    This was an exceedingly terrifying wood attribute spiritual beast, with an extraordinarily peculiar structure. The upper part of its body comprised robust vines, covered with countless sharp thorns, brimming with vitality. In contrast, its lower part resembled white, withered wood, firmly rooted in the ground.


    The Azure Wood Thorn Demon, a second tier low level lord grade spiritual beast, possessed wood attributes.


    Standing atop the rocky peak, Blaze Regret''s pitch black eyes narrowed slightly. As his gaze slowly descended, his heart rate suddenly accelerated.


    Amidst the crisscrossed withered wood of the Azure Wood Thorn Demon, a green luminescent orb floated, with something faintly pulsating within it.


    "That thing seems to be the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood?"


    After pondering for a moment, a rare glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and his voice, laced with undisguised delight, emerged.


    The Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, a wood attribute spiritual object, is only rarely birthed within a few Azure Wood Thorn Demons. Like most spiritual objects, the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood also enhances strength. However, unlike others, a wood attribute spiritual beast that refines this object can experience a sudden surge in power by four or five tiers in a short time. Admittedly, after that period, the power would rapidly decline, but this effect serves as a significant trump card for survival.


    No wonder such a number of spirit master have gathered here.


    "However, given your strength, provoking the Azure Wood Thorn Demon is akin to courting death." Blaze Regret shook his head slightly as he watched the figures plummeting. The gap in rank is not something that can be bridged by sheer numbers.


    As expected, with the Azure Wood Thorn Demon''s frenzied assault, clouds of blood mist exploded in mid air. The once enthusiastic spirit master finally felt terror creeping across their faces and began fleeing desperately towards the distance.


    "Quickly, leave! If we continue entangling with it, we''ll all perish here!"


    A piercing cry echoed as figures swiftly retreated to safety, their expressions grim. They hadn''t anticipated gaining nothing and nearly perishing in the process. Moreover, many of their comrades had already fallen beneath the vines of the Azure Wood Thorn Demon.


    "It''s our turn, Mon Yin," a cheerful voice rang out atop a mountain peak, where four figures lounged lazily. Among them, three possessed the strength of eighth tier spirit Imperial master, while the leader was a formidable ninth-


    tier spirit Imperial master. This leader was none other than Mon Yin.


    "A bunch of incompetents. After attacking for so long, they''ve only managed to inflict minor injuries on the Azure Wood Thorn Demon. Even if we manage to take it down, it will come at a considerable cost," Mon Yin sneered, his eyes glinting with a fierce light. "But for the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, it''s worth the risk!"


    Just as the four were about to spring into action, Mon Yin''s right hand abruptly lifted, and he spoke with a hint of amusement, "Wait, it seems another fool wants to be our free mercenary."

 Chapter 387 Mon Yin

    In their line of sight, a faint yellow figure, radiating intense heat, descended from the sky. In a few swift movements, it dodged the sharp, swinging vines and directly engaged the Azure Wood Thorn Demon."That kid looks familiar," one of Mon Yin''s companions remarked quietly.


    "Indeed," Mon Yin replied with a faint smile. "He''s just the descendant of a fallen Spirit Sovereign. Though it''s unclear why a fire attribute spirit master would be interested in the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, he''s merely paving the way for us."


    "So, let''s enjoy the show a bit longer."


    With a swift motion, the long vine, gleaming with sharp brilliance, struck down fiercely from above. The fiery figure dodged slightly, then with a sudden swipe of its claws, the incoming vine was sliced into two pieces.


    Sitting atop Red, Blaze Regret''s body swayed continuously, yet his gaze remained fixed on the verdant Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood.


    So what if it''s a lord grade spiritual beast? The Azure Wood Thorn Demon is merely of a low tier, and bearing this label significantly diminishes its intimidation factor.


    The difference between low and high tier may seem just a word apart, but the gap is as vast as the heavens and the earth. This not only indicates that the Azure Wood Thorn Demon is low tier on the surface, but also that its spiritual skills are among the weakest of the lord class. Typically, a first tier high level lord grade spiritual beast can even contend against a fifth tier low level one.


    Therefore, spiritual beasts on the continent strive to upgrade their ranks to the highest possible level. Otherwise, even if they have an advantage in rank, they will still be overwhelmed in battle.


    "Currently, the Azure Wood Thorn Demon has sustained some injuries, reducing its strength to merely fifty percent of its peak. Moreover, its attributes are countered by Red''s, making it sufficient to deal with."


    As Blaze Regret muttered softly, Red''s fiery tail swept across, unleashing flames that incinerated the incoming vines into a pile of ashes almost instantaneously.


    A piercing screech echoed as all the vines of the Azure Wood Thorn Demon rapidly converged in the sky, twisting vigorously to form a large, spiraling spike, exuding a sharp, cutting wave.


    "Swish!"


    As soon as the spike coalesced, it shot down with the speed of lightning, its terrifying force causing the air to emit heart stopping sonic booms.


    "A low tier lord grade spiritual skill, is it?"


    Blaze Regret looked up at the spiraling spike descending towards him, his eyes calm as still water. "Red, break it." Experience more content on empire

    With a forward step, Red''s Four fiery tails abruptly extended, like sharp spears, carrying unmatched sharp energy as they charged straight upward.


    "Clang!"


    The two sharp tips collided with a resounding crash, creating ripples in two distinct colors that rapidly spread outward. Moments later, under the astonished gazes of the numerous spirit master, the seemingly formidable vine spike began to shatter inch by inch at a visibly rapid pace.


    Amidst the shower of vine fragments, Red''s Four fiery tails changed direction, tracing a pale yellow arc through the air, and directly shattered the Azure Wood Thorn Demon''s spiritual core.


    "Seize it."


    Blaze Regret watched the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood with delight. Obtaining this item would add another trump card to his arsenal, significantly increasing his chances of survival.


    "Ha ha, the Azure Wood Thorn Demon is indeed dead. Mon Hao, go down and retrieve the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood."


    Just as Blaze Regret''s hand broke through the entangling roots and touched the verdant light orb, a voice filled with joyful laughter suddenly echoed from above.


    Upon hearing the resonant laughter from above, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with a chilling light. Without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly grabbed the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood. Meanwhile, Red moved to the side, narrowly avoiding a sharp, yard wide leaf that mercilessly sliced down and embedded itself deep into the ground.


    If that serrated edged leaf had struck, even Red would have struggled to escape unscathed.


    Sitting atop Red, Blaze Regret raised his head with a slightly cold expression. In the distance stood a towering tree shaped spirit beast, at least ten meters tall. Four figures in green garments stood on its leaves, each wearing a faintly mocking smile on their faces.


    "Fast indeed," Mon Yin remarked, curling his lips playfully. He stepped down with a thud, creating a ripple of dusty air. Behind him, three figures landed in succession, coldly staring at Blaze Regret, their presence quite imposing.


    "It''s Mon Yin!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, their expression changing slightly. Although Mon Yin was not from a prominent family, he had a considerable reputation among the younger generation in Snow Storm City due to his formidable strength as a ninth tier spirit Imperial master. Among rogue cultivators, he was considered particularly fearsome.


    "Just hand over the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, and I won''t trouble you. Consider it a favor for the former Flame Emperor," Mon Yin said with a smile, emphasizing the word "former."


    "What makes you think you''re qualified to trade on my father''s reputation?" Blaze Regret replied emotionlessly, storing the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood in the Void Realm Stone. His calm words cast a cold shadow over Mon Yin''s face.


    "Say that again," Mon Yin said, his lips barely moving, but his words carried a chilling menace as he glared at Blaze Regret.


    "If you want to rob me, just do it. Don''t bother with all this nonsense, it''s really annoying," Blaze Regret''s voice turned slightly icy. Decades ago, these stray cats and dogs wouldn''t have dared to speak out against his father, who they could only look up to in awe. Without his father''s sacrificial struggle, these people wouldn''t even be alive now.


    But now, anyone felt bold enough to mock, which stirred a rare murderous intent in Blaze Regret''s usually calm heart.


    "Haha, indeed, the descendants of great figures are bold," Mon Yin commented, unfazed.

 Chapter 388 Kill

    Mon Yin crossed his arms, standing in front of the massive tree demon, his voice laced with sarcasm, "See that? This is what happens when a petty person gains power. Fortunately, that so called Flame Emperor was just a mere Spirit Sovereign. If he had broken through to Spirit Emperor, his descendants might have disregarded all the strong individuals on the continent.""Without the Flame Emperor backing him, he''s nothing."


    "So what if he has backing? He''s just a fallen Spirit Sovereign, and most of Snow Storm City knows about this. Heh, if I ever reach the Spirit King level, I''d make sure to kill him first. It would be a great opportunity to make a name for myself."


    "That''s a good idea. Count me in."


    As the laughter from ahead reached Blaze Regret''s ears, his expression gradually turned grim, and a fierce murderous intent swirled rapidly in his heart. These people were courting death.


    "Red, leave none alive," Blaze Regret said coldly, as he swiftly darted backward.


    Feeling the pressure on its back disappear, Red gathered one substantial spiritual fire tails at its rear, which exuded an intensely hot energy as they swayed.


    "Whoosh!"


    The fire tails suddenly extended, slicing through the air like four streaks of light. In the blink of an eye, they pierced through the chests of the three laughing men with lightning speed, causing a spray of warm, crimson blood.


    The mocking voices abruptly ceased. Except for Mon Yin, the three men gaped, then looked down in disbelief at the fire colored cat tails piercing their chests.


    This scene happened in a flash, so quickly that even Mon Yin couldn''t react, let alone the others.


    "Swish!"


    With obsidian eyes narrowed slightly, Red willed the Four long fire tails to swiftly retract. As they ascended into the air, one of them disintegrated into scattered points of spiritual energy light.


    Glancing at Blaze Regret with unwillingness in their eyes, Mon Hao and the others saw their vitality slowly fade away. Their bodies went limp and fell to the ground with a thud.


    "You''re courting death!"


    Mon Yin, having finally reacted, glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. Mon Hao and the others had grown up with him, sharing a bond that words couldn''t capture, and yet, in the blink of an eye, they had vanished forever from this world.


    "Who is courting death, don''t you know?" Blaze Regret asked calmly. Insulting him was one thing, but daring to insult Blaze Ash was a challenge to his very limits. Clearly, Mon Hao and his group had crossed that line, and the cost of their success was their lives.


    "It was nothing more than speaking a few truths, and yet you killed them, all innocent! Truly, you are ruthless and cruel!" Mon Yin spat, breathing heavily, his voice icy with malice. "Giant Tree Demon, slaughter his fire Cat, and then I''ll ensure his death is excruciating!"


    In response to Mon Yin''s command, the Giant Tree Demon swung its branches, releasing a pale green spiritual energy that transformed into three rapidly spinning leaf blades. The edges of these blades were encircled by deep, mysterious lines, exuding a sharpness that was almost palpable.


    With a sharp, whistling sound, the three spinning leaf blades shot out, cutting through the air with erratic trails, converging from different directions to attack Red.


    However, Red remained unfazed by the assault, casually swiping its sharp claws. A few pale yellow flashes later, the seemingly rock splitting leaf blades were instantly cleaved in two.

    "If you have no other tricks up your sleeve, you might as well follow in the footsteps of those men," Blaze Regret remarked coolly, eyeing Mon Yin''s grim expression. A fire attribute spirit beast could easily overpower a wood attribute spirit beast of the same level. While the Giant Tree Demon might dominate other ninth tier spirit beasts, it was no match for Red.

    "Heh, you''re quite something," Mon Yin''s face twisted slightly, and then, a sinister smile spread across his lips. "This item was originally meant to win the trial, but since you''re so eager to die, I''ll oblige."


    As he spoke, Mon Yin flicked the Void Realm Stone, and a somewhat shriveled fruit appeared in his palm, emanating a strong, powerful aura.


    Seeing the item in Mon Yin''s hand, a ripple of emotion stirred in Blaze Regret''s eyes. It was another Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood!


    In Mon Yin''s palm appeared the emerald green Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, resembling a spherical fruit. The edges of the fruit were lined with dry wrinkles, and a powerful energy ripple quietly emanated from within.


    Gazing at the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood in Mon Yin''s hand, Blaze Regret''s initially changed expression quickly returned to normal. Although he had been surprised for a moment, he vaguely sensed that the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood seemed to have lost much of its spiritual power.


    "Go!"


    Without paying attention to Blaze Regret, Mon Yin waved his hand, and the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood swiftly flew toward the Giant tree demon. Several twisted branches immediately drooped down, firmly wrapping around the heart.


    Subsequently, the threads of emerald green energy from the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood flowed into the body of the Giant tree demon through its branches. All of its foliage rapidly grew lush, especially the tree patternls on its trunk, which protruded like twisted dragons, appearing particularly astonishing.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a tremor of its two branch like arms, the Giant tree demon unleashed a powerful wave, instantly reducing the remnants of the surrounding Azure Wood Thorn Demons to countless tiny fragments.


    At this moment, the aura of the Giant tree demon reached the level of a mid tier first level lord grade, far more formidable than the prior Azure Wood Thorn Demons!


    "Crack!"


    At this moment, the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood could no longer endure, and densely packed tiny cracks spread all over it. Then, with a crisp sound, it shattered completely.


    "This Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood is truly terrifying!"

 Chapter 389

    Feeling the massive surge in the tree demon''s aura, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly. The gap between the spirit imperial master and spirit lord master could hardly be overstated, yet a single inferior Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood could enhance it to such an extent? Then the one I possess should be even more astonishing."Scared?" Mon Yin looked at Blaze Regret, a mocking smile playing at his lips. As long as he could kill the latter, he could obtain an even more powerful Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, making this deal extremely worthwhile.


    "Just a mid tier first level lord grade. If it needs to be killed, it can still be killed," Blaze Regret replied with a nonchalant smile, but that smile appeared particularly loathsome in Mon Yin''s eyes.


    Mon Yin had expected Blaze Regret to show a terrified expression upon witnessing the strength of the Giant tree demon. However, his indifferent demeanor ignited Mon Yin''s anger several times over. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Your demeanor is truly irritating."


    From between his teeth, Mon Yin coldly enunciated each word: "Therefore, I will ensure that your expression when you die looks a bit more pleasant."


    "Bang!"


    With a powerful stomp of its sturdy withered branch like feet, the Giant tree demon suddenly surged forward. Its long, branch like arms sliced through the air with a fierce gale, sweeping towards Blaze Regret with terrifying force, creating a series of deep, explosive booms in the air.


    The tree demon''s attack arrived in the blink of an eye. The fiery claws of Red were engulfed in flames as they met the assault head on without evasion. As the Cat''s claws collided with the branches, waves of invisible ripples quickly spread out.


    "Thud, thud..."


    In a brief moment, the two had clashed over a dozen times. As the tree demon''s branches suddenly swelled, the fierce force smashed down. Red''s body trembled slightly, and it took several steps back with its Cat paw before it barely stabilized its stance.


    Red''s chest gently rose and fell, its black, glass like eyes filled with gravity. The Giant tree demon, already massive in size, had achieved a breakthrough to the lord grade, gaining absolute dominance in strength. Even with the advantage of its attributes, Red found it difficult to gain an edge.


    "Giant Tree Demon, Green Leaf Cage!"


    Seeing Red forced back, a look of wild joy surged across Mon Yin''s face, and his cold, sinister laughter abruptly echoed.


    "Whoosh!"


    Dark green leaves fell from the branches of the Giant tree demon, gathering above Red''s head and rotating like a vortex. The veins on each leaf were clearly visible.


    With a wave of the tree demon''s branch like arms, the leaves connected to form a massive cage, casting a shadow as it descended to suppress Red.


    Red''s mouth tightened slightly, and with a stomp of its paws, it attempted to leap forward. However, its body seemed to be caught by something, unable to advance.


    The green leaf cage carried an extremely strong suction force!


    With a slight glint in its eyes, one more spiritual cat tails materialized behind Red, quickly extending to meet the descending green leaf cage in a direct confrontation.


    "Boom!"


    Pale yellow energy ripples spread out as Red''s four cat tails forcibly held the rapidly descending green leaf cage in mid air, although the tails bent slightly under the pressure.


    "Haha, earlier, your fire cat only managed to take down the Azure Wood Thorn Demon by sheer luck with that move. However, your luck is about to end with me."


    Mon Yin laughed heartily, his laughter filled with boundless smugness: "Giant Tree Demon, use the Leaf Blade Rain to slice that fire Cat into countless pieces!" Continue reading stories on empire


    With a nod, the Giant tree demon unleashed a surge of powerful spiritual energy, forming numerous sharp blades in midair. The edges of these blades were lined with fine serrations, appearing extremely lethal.


    "Swish!"


    Like air being torn apart, the blades whistled down, transforming into a vast rain of leaf blades that enveloped Red entirely.


    "Haha, the so called Son of the Flame Emperor is nothing but a joke. Once I kill you, I will surely join the Kartis family!" Mon Yin laughed wildly. If this spiritual technique hit its mark, Red''s body would undoubtedly be shredded into pieces in an instant.


    "Sigh, is being the Kartis family''s lapdog really that enjoyable?"


    Blaze Regret shook his head with a hint of resignation and looked at Red. "Do it."


    With Blaze Regret''s permission, a gleam of joy flashed in Red''s eyes. Accompanied by the sound of a whoosh, amidst the Three fiery streaks of light, a fourth pale yellow line swiftly appeared.


    In an instant, Red''s aura surged once more, not dramatically, but sufficient to deal with the green leaf cage.


    "Swish!"


    Four long arcs of pale yellow light slashed through, and Red''s tail blade hovered in mid air. The cage that had held it immobile began to show sharp cracks and, moments later, powerlessly fell apart to the sides.


    Red''s eyes lifted slightly, and behind it, Four fiery tails, like long serpents, whipped furiously. The descending sharp leaf blades were instantly shredded into countless fragments.


    After shredding the rain of leaf blades, Red''s paws launched it into the air. The four fiery tails converged and pierced directly through the Giant tree demon''s body, then spread forcefully to the sides.


    "Crack!"


    Without a splinter flying, Red''s form flickered and gracefully landed on the ground. The disproportionately long fiery tails spread slightly, hovering in the air, making it appear like a majestic flame Cat sovereign.


    The Giant tree demon, towering several tens of meters high, stood dazed in place. As a gust of wind filled with sand swept by, its body slowly moved to both sides, and then, like four thick wooden wheels, it crashed to the ground with a thud.


    Watching the giant tree demon sliced into pieces by the Red, the onlookers in the distance fell silent instantly. They exchanged glances, each seeing the terror reflected in the other''s eyes.

 Chapter 390

    Just a few breaths earlier, the giant tree demon had briefly broken through to a first tier lord level, a terrifying existence comparable to the elders of some small families. Yet, it met a tragic end in less than a moment of glory.Mon Yin''s mouth gaped open in disbelief, his limbs turning icy cold. Just moments ago, he had been shouting for the giant tree demon to slice the Red into pieces. In a dramatic twist, it was his own spirit beast that got sliced instead.


    "Just a fire tail formed by condensed spiritual power, yet so formidable. I wonder when Red will reach the level of the Four tailed Red Cat, or even surpass it," Blaze Regret mused, his lips curling slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of chill as they landed on Mon Yin.


    Being stared at with such a gaze, Mon Yin involuntarily shivered, a tinge of fear spreading across his face.


    Blaze Regret intended to kill!


    His extensive experience allowed him to immediately grasp Blaze Regret''s intentions.


    "Friend... I have always respected Lord Fire Emperor. My actions earlier were forced by circumstances," Mon Yin hastily spoke, ignoring the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those watching turned rather amused. Who was it that, after others had slain the Azure Thorn Demon, they tried to reap the benefits, and who was it that, full of confidence, had previously made sarcastic remarks? Many remembered that sharp voice.


    "Forced by circumstances? Who forced you?" Blaze Regret asked playfully, looking at Mon Yin.


    "It was... it was..."


    Mon Yin''s face stiffened, his voice stuttering, and a sharp glint flashed deep within his eyes. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire


    "If you don''t want me to live, then just die!" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a fierce expression, Mon Yin raised his head, a slender bamboo tube appearing in his hand. Placing it to his lips, he blew forcefully, and a needle sharp spike pierced the air, shooting violently towards Blaze Regret.


    The speed was akin to a streak of lightning darting through the air.


    Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly at this display. With an air of nonchalance, he extended his right hand, and with a light pinch between two fingers, he effortlessly caught the exceptionally sharp spike.


    "A venomous needle, crafted from the stinger of a poison attributed venom bee," Blaze Regret remarked.


    Seeing Blaze Regret catch the needle, Mon Yin''s face turned deathly pale. Hearing these words from Blaze Regret only deepened his despair. It was only now that he realized how weak his petty tricks were in front of Blaze Regret.


    "Those struck by this will have their bodies covered in blood blisters, dying in an extremely gruesome manner. Such things are used only by truly malicious individuals," Blaze Regret commented, his gaze shifting to Mon Yin, who was attempting to flee. With disdain, he flicked his fingers, and the venomous needle transformed into a bright streak of light, piercing Mon Yin''s thigh.


    Feeling the sharp pain in his leg, Mon Yin''s face was filled with terror. He raised his hands, watching as blood blisters rapidly spread, his shrill cries of agony echoing through the sky.


    The onlookers in the distance, witnessing Mon Yin''s horrific transformation, couldn''t help but feel a chill run down their spines. Meeting a grim fate seemed to aptly describe his situation.


    "With the fly swatted, it''s time to get down to business," Blaze Regret stated, leaping onto Red''s back. As Red sped away, Blaze Regret showed no interest in even glancing back at Mon Yin.


    "You will die, you will definitely die at Kartis Van''s hands!" Mon Yin shouted venomously at Blaze Regret''s retreating figure. Suddenly, threads of blood spurted from the bursting blisters, and his agonized screams once again filled the air.


    The desolate ancient land stretched endlessly, and the galloping fire Cat moved like a pale yellow streamer, weaving silently through the terrain.


    Occasionally, a fierce wind would sweep by, lifting sand and gravel, stretching all the way to the horizon and blending with the undulating dunes. Such a scene was rarely seen in the Sun Moon Empire, and it appeared rather majestic.


    "This rock fragment seems a bit peculiar," Blaze Regret mused.


    Seated on Red''s back, Blaze Regret thoughtfully rubbed the rock fragment in his hand. The surface of the fragment was etched with mysterious runes and intricate, delicate patterns. However, beneath this exquisite appearance, there seemed to be an inherent flaw, imparting a subtle sense of disharmony.


    As he flipped through the heavy ancient book, Blaze Regret''s frown deepened. The book contained only basic records of the Sand Palace and some secrets unknown to ordinary people, but nothing more beyond that.


    "It seems this ancient book isn''t all encompassing," he mused, placing the book back into the Void realms Stone with a wry smile. Blaze Regret considered consulting Master Magi but hesitated and eventually decided against it. He had grown accustomed to independence and was no longer the inexperienced novice he once was.


    Suddenly, as Red continued its swift pace, the rock fragment in Blaze Regret''s hand began to vibrate slightly. A profound beam of light shot across the sky, connecting to the distant mountain range. The area appeared dim and murky, with rolling waves of earth colored sand resembling countless galloping dragons, exuding a formidable sense of pressure.


    "What a strong aura of oppression," Blaze Regret noted as Red came to a halt at the foot of the mountain. His expression turned solemn. He had always maintained a cautious respect for mysterious areas, knowing that underestimating them could have led to his demise in the Black Abyss.


    "Red, let''s head to the summit first and assess the situation," Blaze Regret commanded after a moment of contemplation. Regardless of any potential dangers ahead, he was determined to explore, driven by the allure of the secret technique, the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings , which was hard to resist.


    "Let''s go!"

 Chapter 391

    Atop the towering peak of the mountain, Red stood firm, narrowing its eyes against the howling sandstorm. Blaze Regret touched down on the ground, his expression grave as he peered downwards. The fierce storm below made it nearly impossible to discern any details of the landscape.As time slipped by, the rock fragment in Blaze Regret''s hand remained unresponsive. It wasn''t until dusk descended, and the first star appeared in the sky, that the fragment began to vibrate with a low hum.


    With a swift motion, the rock fragment, about the size of a palm, hovered before Blaze Regret, moving up and down. The mysterious runes on it began to flow more rapidly, and in an instant, the entire fragment became transparent.


    Through the glass like fragment, Blaze Regret gazed into the valley. In that moment, his body froze in place, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what he saw.


    From the mountain top, looking down into the wide valley, a monotonous yellow hue pervades everywhere. Not a trace of the vitality of trees is present, and the cold, fierce wind roars through, swirling up yellow sand that fills the sky. Through nearly transparent rock fragments, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes were shocked to see a majestic palace of yellow sand faintly standing amidst the whirling sandstorms!

    As the starlight flickered, the edges and outlines of the palace appeared and disappeared intermittently.


    "Swish!"


    The rock fragment suspended in front of his eyes fell into his palm. Even after a long time, Blaze Regret remained dazed, feeling a sense of unreality, a magnificent structure existing in this desolate, uninhabited valley?


    If not for the guidance of the mysterious rock fragment, he probably wouldn''t have believed it himself.


    "Let''s go down."


    After pondering for a moment while stroking his chin, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. The interior of that palace might contain countless dangers, but having come all this way, turning back wasn''t his way of doing things.


    The mountain was extremely steep. It took a full quarter of an hour before Blaze Regret and Red reached the bottom together.


    "Whoosh!"


    The sweeping yellow sand made Blaze Regret squint his eyes and then wrap the hood of his black robe around his face, barely making it bearable.


    "Be careful!"


    Just as Red''s claw was about to touch the palace gate, Blaze Regret''s voice, filled with seriousness, suddenly rang out.


    With a slight nod, Red''s sharp claw slammed down fiercely, and in a flash, a dozen sharp yellow sand spears shot out from within the gate, shattering the hard rocks on the wasteland.


    Staring at the rapidly vibrating spear shafts, beads of cold sweat appeared on Red''s forehead. If it hadn''t dodged in time, those yellow sand spears would have been enough to pierce through its body in an instant. Such sharpness would be difficult for even a lord level spirit beast to withstand.


    "Dilililu!"


    Standing beside the palace gate, Blaze Regret picked up a pebble and tossed it inside the palace. Initially, there was no reaction, but when he threw the sixth pebble, sharp yellow sand spears suddenly shot down from all directions within the palace, covering the entire ground. After a while, they slowly dissipated into dust.


    "Damn!"


    Looking at the perforated ground, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but curse. Fortunately, he tested a few more times; otherwise, stepping in would have left him with no chance of survival.


    After confirming there was no danger, Blaze Regret cautiously entered the palace with Red. He glanced around and noticed stone statues arranged around the palace, resembling giant bats with outstretched wings.


    As Blaze Regret was observing the various postures of these bats, some of their eyes suddenly flashed with red light, and fragments of rock began to fall from their rigid wings.


    At that moment, the stone statues seemed to come to life.


    "Red, fall back!"


    Without a second thought, Blaze Regret urgently shouted and scanned the statues with wary eyes. Silver white rock quickly spread across his palm.


    "Screech~"


    An unsettling sound of friction echoed continuously as the bat shaped statues slowly rose into the air. Mysterious runes swirled around them.


    "Is this... the long lost art of rune crafting?"


    With slightly rapid breaths, Blaze Regret watched the levitating statues in shock. According to legends, in ancient times, there existed a special profession known as rune masters. Lower level rune masters could inscribe runes of lightning and fire, capable of producing terrifying destructive power. More powerful ones could even control inanimate objects to combat spirit beasts.


    The scene before him was evidently very close to that legend. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "However, even if it''s rune crafting, after all these years, no matter how powerful the runes once were, their energy must have been depleted."


    Coming back to his senses from the shock, Blaze Regret''s eyes turned sharp as he commanded Red, "Use the Four tail Spear and smash all these statues!"


    "Swish!"


    Statues descended with a fierce howl, their eyes filled with an icy, murderous intent. Their sole mission was to eliminate any intruders within the palace, even though the palace''s owner had long since vanished.


    "Boom!"


    Red''s Four long fiery tails lashed out wildly in mid air, accompanied by the sound of intense explosions. One by one, the statues were shattered, reduced to rubble that scattered across the ground.


    Watching the statues explode, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. If these statues were at their peak, each could likely possess the strength of a ninth tier lord level being. It was hard to imagine how glorious this palace must have been once.


    Within a few breaths, all the statues were destroyed. Red''s four long, pale yellow fiery tails lingered in the air, stained with traces of blood, while its chest heaved slightly.


    Clearly, it had sustained some injuries during the clash.


    "This is just the beginning, and it''s already so difficult. It seems that finding the Secret Technique of Flowing Sand Transformation Wings won''t be an easy task."

 Chapter 392

    After feeding a healing pill to Red and allowing it to absorb the remedy, Blaze Regret cast a serious gaze towards the second large gate of the palace. Despite the palace''s intricate complexity, the light emitted from the rock fragment pointed in that direction. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.As they proceeded, Blaze Regret and Red shattered countless stone statues. Blaze Regret seemed indifferent to this time consuming process, as collecting Thunder Soul Beads was never part of his plan. Through the battles with the statues, Red''s aura became increasingly refined, even showing signs of advancing to the lord level.


    Of course, while Blaze Regret felt a surge of joy, he understood that such advancements couldn''t be rushed. The breakthrough from Imperial level to lord level was even more challenging than jumping two tiers consecutively.


    "This palace is more terrifying than I imagined. Earlier, I opened a room door on a whim, only to find the statues inside possessed the power of a fifth tier King level."


    Clutching the rock fragment tightly, Blaze Regret patted his chest, breathing heavily and feeling a sense of relief. He realized that the path indicated by the rock fragment led him through the least defended areas. After the previous lessons, he dared not wander aimlessly anymore. The last encounter was with a fifth tier King Realm entity, and he estimated that other rooms might even house spirit beasts surpassing the King realms.


    Standing before the room where the light was the brightest, Blaze Regret observed the peculiar patterns on the stone door, pursing his lips slightly. He wondered if the secret technique of the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings truly lay behind the door.


    "Let''s hope it doesn''t disappoint me."


    As Blaze Regret pushed open the stone door, he was unaware that several figures in yellow robes had also stepped into the palace at that moment.


    Seeing the shattered statues scattered across the ground, the leader of the group gave a sinister, cold smile.


    "Heh, it seems someone beat us to it."


    "There''s nothing we can do. The Northern Saint Sect was too vast, and it''s normal for some lucky individuals to stumble upon scattered tokens. Just like a few hundred years ago, when our Sand Palace''s founder happened to acquire a token, came to this Northern Saint Sect''s ruins, and found a trace of the Northern Saint Beast''s blood essence and the secret technique of the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings, leading to our powerful rise."


    "Such glory can certainly be recreated through us, the descendants, until we once again dominate the Sun Moon Empire."


    "So, let the little guy who entered first meet his end within."


    "Indeed."


    "Ding ding dang dang!"


    In the vast hall, a fiery yellow figure continuously collided with a pure white figure, the crisp sound of metal clashing echoing ceaselessly.


    Entangled with the Reds was a peculiar rock type spirit beast. It was about the size of a palm, surrounded by mysterious runes, with a crystal clear disc suspended behind its body, emitting a gentle white light, appearing quite exquisite.


    "Master Magi, I''ve never heard of such a spirit beast before," Blaze Regret muttered quietly, his eyes fixed on the white figure.


    "Oh?"


    Floating out from the void realm stone, Master Magi glanced upward, a strange expression quickly appearing on his face. "It''s actually a Turing. This type of spirit beast has long been extinct on the continent. I never expected to have the chance to see one again."


    "An extinct spirit beast..."


    A gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The existence of this continent has stretched over countless ages, and some spirit beasts might vanish completely without a trace. The Turing before him was one such creature.


    However, though it could still launch attacks against the Reds, there was no trace of life left within its body. Clearly, like the statues outside, it was preserved through some special means, merely a lifeless object.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Turing soared into mid air, the crystal disc behind it spinning rapidly. In an instant, a beam of light as thick as an arm shot out, piercing through the air, heading straight for the Reds.


    As the beam descended, a streak of icy blue light suddenly slashed down from the sky. The Ice Control Irenix, with ice wings like a sharp sword, instantly struck the Turing to the ground.


    "Swish!"


    With a slight flicker, it dodged the descending beam. The Four fiery tails of the Reds swiftly extended, hovering in mid air, then sharpened like blades, slashing down fiercely.


    Under such a torrential assault, the Turing''s body shattered with a crack, scattering in all directions. Only the crystal disc rolled towards Blaze Regret, jingling softly before laying still at his feet.


    "This might be the last Turing on the continent."


    Slightly bending over, Blaze Regret picked up the disc from the ground and couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. The passage of time is always something that leaves one helpless, much like how people from the outside world will probably never know that within this ancient land lies a once incredibly glorious palace.


    He lifted his head and looked at the topmost part of the hall, where a glowing orb hovered. On either side of the orb, wings seemed to form, emitting a gentle white light that slowly spread out.


    "This must be the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings."


    With a slight curl of his lips, Blaze Regret was just about to move when a mocking voice suddenly echoed from outside the stone gate.


    "If I were you, I would stand right there obediently."


    Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, four young men in yellow robes walked in with smiles on their faces. Their bodies blocked the stone gate firmly, and the way they looked at Blaze Regret was akin to a cat playing with a mouse.


    Blaze Regret frowned subtly and turned his head, scanning his gaze slightly before his dark eyes settled on the chest of the leading young man.

    There, a pair of ornate yellow wings was engraved.

 Chapter 393

    "You are from the Sand Palace?" Blaze Regret''s eyes widened in disbelief. This emblem could only belong to disciples of the Sand Palace from hundreds of years ago!It was imaginable how shocked Blaze Regret was to see this emblem, which should have disappeared.


    "Sand Palace, heh."


    The leading young man chuckled disdainfully. "Just a small sect, not worth mentioning. Our true identity is as disciples of the Northern Saint Sect, and this palace belongs to our Northern Saint Sect."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret was taken aback. "Northern Saint Sect?"


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s question, the young man who had spoken earlier seemed to have finally found an opportunity to display his superiority. With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke with an air of arrogance: "The Northern Saint Sect was one of the continent''s overlords a million years ago. The Sand Palace only had the chance to sweep across Sun Moon Empire because it inherited part of its legacy. So, strictly speaking, we are also people of the Northern Saint Sect."


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel speechless. After all this talk, it turned out they were merely descendants of the remnants of the Sand Palace. He had thought they would have a more significant background.


    Ignoring these people, Blaze Regret slightly clenched his hand, grasping the orb of light. The luminous white light transformed into countless light particles, gently scattering, revealing a scroll inscribed with mysterious runes that immediately caught everyone''s attention.


    "The complete Flowing Sand Transformation Wings!"


    The young man who had been about to scold Blaze Regret for his rude behavior screamed in delight when he saw the runes on the scroll: "The Sand Palace''s leader only obtained a fragmented version with many limitations, but this scroll is clearly more powerful!"


    His eyes gleaming with greed, the young man stared at Blaze Regret, speaking with a chilling menace: "Hand over the scroll and the rock fragment you''ve obtained, and I''ll spare your life today. Otherwise, in this place, undetectable by the ancient mirror, we could kill you, and the outside world would never know."


    After speaking, the young man stomped forward forcefully, releasing the powerful pressure of a fourth stage Spirit Lord Master, forcing Blaze Regret back half a step. The others behind him also unleashed their full aura, revealing themselves to be third stage Spirit Lord Masters. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire


    "Isn''t it said that only those below the level of Spirit Lord Master can enter the ancient mirror space?" Blaze Regret asked in astonishment.


    "Just swallowed a Spirit Suppression Pill," the young man in yellow licked his lips, looking at Blaze Regret with mocking eyes.


    Behind him, spirit beasts appeared one after another. In addition to his fourth stage stone scorpion, the others corresponded to the remaining members of the Four Poisons. Naturally, these spirit beasts were genuinely stone attribute.


    "If you kneel down and beg for mercy, offering the scroll with both hands and showing a bit more respect, I, Wun Ling, might consider accepting you as a disciple of the Northern Saint Sect," the young man in yellow declared haughtily.


    "Otherwise, we''ll drain your blood bit by bit and paint the walls with it!" another person beside him cackled sinisterly.


    "You just said that this place cannot be detected by the outside world, right?" Blaze Regret looked at Wun Ling and suddenly smiled.


    "That''s right," Wun Ling replied with a sneer, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret. "Thin skinned, aren''t you? Afraid to kneel because you don''t want outsiders to see. If you don''t seize this chance to cling to the Northern Saint Sect, your life will end here."


    Hearing Wun Ling once again flaunting the name of the Northern Saint Sect, Blaze Regret chuckled helplessly. "It''s not that I''m worried about that. I''m just a bit concerned about certain people from the outside discovering that I have the strength to kill a fourth stage Spirit Lord Master."


    "But since that''s no longer a concern, I might as well just eliminate you all."


    Blaze Regret''s calm and unruffled voice echoed throughout the grand hall. Initially taken aback, Wun Ling and the others soon found their expressions gradually growing colder.


    Their talents were considered top tier even among the younger generation in Snow Storm City. Coupled with the unique cultivation methods of the Sand Palace, their breakthrough speed was astonishing, fostering a constant sense of superiority.


    Yet now, a mere ninth level Spirit Imperial Master dared to utter such arrogant words, which undoubtedly made them feel deeply humiliated.


    It was as if a dragon soaring in the sky was being provoked by an ant''s sting.


    "Kneel, slap yourself a thousand times, then break your arms to apologize for your disrespect," Wun Ling said with a sullen expression. From beginning to end, he saw himself as a representative of the Northern Saint Sect, even disregarding major forces in Snow Storm City.


    Thus, he instinctively believed he represented the face of the Northern Saint Sect. Blaze Regret insulting him was equivalent to insulting the sect.


    "You are taking yourself too seriously."


    Blaze Regret toyed with the mysterious rock fragment in his palm and sneered coldly, "Disrespect? What are you even worth? Does the Northern Saint Sect here have anything to do with you? Even Hee Zun, the Palace Master of the Sand Palace, isn''t recognized by the Northern Saint Sect, let alone a few of you defeated strays."


    Taking a step forward, Blaze Regret''s voice, wrapped in spiritual power, thundered like a storm: "Moreover, don''t you claim to be people of the Sand Palace? Hundreds of years ago, Seng Kiando and Kartis Tianli secretly assassinated Hee Zun, leading to the complete decline of the Sand Palace. Why don''t you dare to avenge this?"


    Each of Blaze Regret''s words was like a heavy hammer, repeatedly pounding into the minds of Wun Ling and the others, causing their faces to gradually become contorted with anger.


    As descendants of the few remaining members of the Sand Palace, they were well aware of the real reason behind the fall of Hee Zun, the Sand Palace''s Master. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 394

    Due to their overly arrogant actions at the time, the entire empire resented the Sand Palace. Consequently, Bai Qianli, the old head of the Kartis family, and Seng Kiando, the old sovereign of the imperial family, seized an opportunity when Hee Zun was severely injured and launched a surprise attack with fierce tactics.Ultimately, the two managed to kill Hee Zun at the cost of their own severe power decline.


    This incident was a secret not commonly known outside of Snow Storm City.


    It was precisely because of their deep understanding that Wun Ling and the others felt a profound fear. One was the Kartis family, at the peak of its power, and the other was the entrenched royal family. These two colossal forces made it impossible for them to even entertain the thought of revenge.


    Thus, Blaze Regret''s merciless words were akin to ripping open their wounds, instantly igniting a furious killing intent within them.


    "With such cowardice, you still dare to claim to be people of the Northern Saint Sect?" Blaze Regret sneered, showing even greater disdain.


    "I want you dead!"


    With a roar of fury, Wun Ling summoned a massive black shadow that whistled over from above his head, crashing to the ground with a thud. Its eyes glared menacingly at Blaze Regret and Red.


    This was a Barbaric Scorpion, a fourth tier mid level lord grade spirit beast with rock attributes. In the past, only the inner disciples of the Sand Palace were qualified to form contracts with such beasts, indicating its formidable combat power.


    Following the Barbaric Scorpion, the spirit beasts of the other four individuals quickly shot forward, encircling Blaze Regret and Red.


    "I''ll tear your tongue out, piece by piece!" Wun Ling''s eyes were bloodshot, filled with an intense desire to dismember Blaze Regret. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "One move."


    Observing the situation, Blaze Regret merely shook his head with a smile. A verdant green spiritual portal then materialized beside him, and from it leapt out the petite figure of Ethereal Lotus.


    "Chirp!"


    In an instant, without any hesitation, Ethereal Lotus spun in mid air, and her hand, surging with emerald green spiritual power, slammed heavily onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    In a flash, sharp vines shot up from various points on the rocky floor, their gleaming tips piercing through the bodies of the Barbaric Scorpion and other spirit beasts with lightning speed. The entire grand hall seemed to transform into a dense forest of thorny vines.


    In the midst of the thorny vines, the lifeless bodies of the Barbaric Scorpion and other spirit beasts hung helplessly in the air, with bright red blood trickling down the vines.


    Witnessing this scene, Wun Ling and the others were filled with horror. The next moment, countless sharp vines shot up from beneath their feet, penetrating their bodies without any resistance.


    "Ah!"


    Wun Ling''s scream of agony had barely escaped his lips before it was abruptly cut off, as he saw a bloodstained vine protruding from his chest, causing his soul to scatter in terror.

    Standing amidst the verdant forest of thorny vines, Ethereal Lotus straightened up, lightly dusting off her hands with a hum. Such opponents were far inferior to the Giant Wood Demon she had faced earlier, which at least had posed some threat to her.


    "The Sand Palace is completely gone now," Blaze Regret remarked with a detached expression as he glanced around, intending to leave the grand hall with the Flowing Sand Transforming Wings scroll.


    "Clink!"


    However, just as he lifted his foot, a rune etched rock fragment tumbled out from the lifeless Wun Ling''s clothing, its clear sound resonating throughout the hall.


    "Hmm?"


    Blaze Regret''s palm opened slightly, and with a surge of suction, he drew the rock fragment into his hand. After scrutinizing it for a moment, his expression shifted slightly, prompting him to quickly retrieve the rock fragment from the void Realm Stone.


    Wun Ling''s rock fragment had a small protrusion, while his own fragment had a slight indentation in its center.


    "No wonder it always felt like something was missing from this rock fragment."


    With newfound clarity, Blaze Regret aligned the two fragments with a click, and suddenly, they expanded into a spherical shape, akin to a fruit. A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from within.


    "Buzz!"


    In the next moment, the object ascended into the air with a buzz, emitting deep beams of light from the rock sphere that extended to every corner of the hall, gradually forming a complex array pattern.


    In the center of the array, the light flickered slightly, and a brilliant beam shot upward, striking directly at the ceiling of the grand hall. Waves of formidable spiritual energy rapidly spread in all directions.


    As the spiritual energy surged, a majestic beast, woven from beams of light, gradually took form. It stood proudly in the void, its heart pulsating gently with a fiery essence of blood.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret''s mouth dropped open in shock as he gazed at the mysterious giant beast. Simultaneously, a flash of light appeared within his void Realm Stone, and Master Magi''s figure swiftly emerged, his expression solemn as he looked up into the air.


    "This is... the Northern Saint Beast..."


    An ancient, imposing beast stood majestically in the void, emanating a powerful aura that seemed to make the surrounding space subtly ripple. Although the beast showed no signs of life, a mere glance was enough to inspire awe and reverence.


    "The Northern Saint Beast."


    Muttering this formidable name, Blaze Regret came to his senses and exhaled a long breath of chill. This ancient and mysterious beast was quite renowned in ancient times. One of the continent''s former rulers, the Northern Saint Sect, had built its illustrious reputation on the back of this spirit beast.


    What truly captured Blaze Regret''s attention was that the Northern Saint Beast contained one third of true dragon blood! Although this amount could not compare to the peak period of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, it was more than sufficient for Blaze Regret at present.

 Chapter 395

    If he could obtain a part of it, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros within the third spiritual portal would be able to condense a genuine dragon seal! At that time, within the same tier, no other spirit beast would be able to compete with the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros in strength!"Buzz!"


    The Northern Saint Beast in mid air slowly lowered its head, its eyes devoid of any emotion, fixed intently on Blaze Regret. Then, its mouth slightly opened, and from within the swirling essence blood, a thread of blood slowly descended.


    "Snap!"


    The thread of blood snapped and transformed into a drop of rich essence blood in mid air, containing extremely potent energy.


    In the next moment, the essence blood landed in Blaze Regret''s palm, remaining intact, like a tiny droplet of water. It appeared quite miraculous.


    "Roar!"


    A deafening roar echoed throughout the palace. The Northern Saint Beast''s mouth gradually closed, and its body began to fade away, soon to completely vanish from this place.


    At the same time, the rocky sphere formed by the two fragments began to fade visibly, indicating that it would never again be used to summon the Northern Saint Beast. As Blaze Regret watched the giant beast on the verge of disappearing, he pursed his lips slightly. He could sense that with just this single drop of essence blood, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros would be able to condense a true dragon seal. However, if he could extract the entire mass of essence blood...


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret awkwardly chuckled to himself. It was indeed greedy to want everything, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Securing this single drop of essence blood made the trip worthwhile, and he didn''t even dare to imagine obtaining the entire amount.


    "Hehe, young one, if you desire it, just say so," the Master Magi remarked playfully, noticing Blaze Regret''s inner struggle. "This kind of opportunity is extremely rare. If you miss it, it''s truly gone."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the Master Magi with anticipation, resembling an ethereal lotus spotting a fragrant spiritual fruit.


    "Leaving it here would be a waste, so it might as well come out," the Master Magi said, squinting slightly. He raised his palm, and a terrifying suction force instantly surged from his hand, forming what seemed like a golden tornado directed precisely at the Northern Saint Beast''s essence blood.


    "Roar!"


    Sensing the threat, the previously unconscious Northern Saint Beast suddenly showed a trace of madness in its eyes. With a stomp of its hoof, the space below shattered like a glass surface, sending extremely powerful energy crashing toward the Master Magi like thunder.


    "Heh, if you were at your peak, I would certainly have to avoid you for now. But since you have fallen, make one last contribution," the Master Magi chuckled, raising his free left hand. With a sudden change in his seal technique, the space around the Northern Saint Beast compressed inward violently, creating visible wrinkles in the fabric of space.

    "Roar!"


    Caught within the spatial compression, the already ethereal body of the Northern Saint Beast grew even dimmer. The deep lines along its body began to crack and shatter.


    Watching this lightning fast clash, Blaze Regret''s eye twitched slightly. This was the power of true strength. Compared to the Master Magi and the Northern Saint Beast, he was still just a novice.


    "Shatter!"


    The Master Magi''s eyes narrowed slightly as the golden dragon whirlwind in his hand suddenly expanded, exerting tremendous force. Under this overwhelming power, the body of the Northern Saint Beast, composed of light, shattered with a crisp crack, dispersing into countless points of light that floated away.


    Amidst this dazzling shower of light, only a mass of scorching essence blood remained floating in place.


    "Cough, cough!" The Master Magi gave a light cough and flicked his sleeve, causing the mass of powerful, pulsating essence blood to slowly descend, landing in front of Blaze Regret.


    Staring dumbfoundedly at the mass of essence blood, Blaze Regret glanced at the drop in his hand. The disparity between the two made him feel as if he were dreaming. Could it really be that all the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast was his?


    "Rumble!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was yet to recover from his excitement, the ground beneath him began to undulate like rolling waves. Even the thorny vines of the ethereal lotus shattered with cracking sounds.


    "It seems that the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast was what kept this Yellow Sand Palace standing. Now that the essence blood is gone, the palace is about to collapse," murmured the Master Magi, snapping Blaze Regret out of his reverie. He quickly leaped onto Red''s back. Such a massive palace collapsing could easily crush even a King realm spirit beast into pulp.


    "Whoosh!" As the Master Magi returned to the void realms stone, Blaze Regret swiftly waved his hand, retrieving the ethereal lotus into his spiritual portal. Then, propelled by Red, he shot out of the palace. Enormous chunks of rock fell behind him, crashing to the ground and creating deep fissures.


    "Boom!" Just as Red''s hind legs cleared the palace entrance, the entire Yellow Sand Palace collapsed with a thunderous crash. A massive spiral whirlwind twisted above the ruins, as if determined to erase the palace''s last vestiges.


    Standing on a distant mountain peak, Blaze Regret gazed at the slowly crumbling ruins with a touch of nostalgia. From now on, perhaps no one would remember the Northern Saint Sect, once a dominant force on the continent.


    "Judging by the time, the Kartis Family''s trial should be concluding soon," Blaze Regret mused, licking his slightly parched lips. From the void realms stone, he retrieved the scroll of the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings and the drop of the Northern Saint Beast''s essence blood, smiling faintly.


    After wrapping up these various matters, it was time to teach that brat Kartis Van a lesson. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

 Chapter 396

    Hopefully, Kartis Sham, who is quite concerned about appearances, won''t lose his composure too much when he witnesses Kartis Van''s sorry state firsthand.While Blaze Regret was cultivating the art of transforming sand into wings and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous was refining the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast, a massive abyss located in a corner of the ancient land was far from peaceful. Countless figures were shuttling through the abyss, with an endless stream of people continuously flocking towards it.


    "Boom!"


    A thick bolt of lightning struck down from the dark, oppressive clouds, resembling a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, dazzling and brilliant. The mountain walls of the abyss below immediately sparkled with dazzling lightning, as if forming a natural world of thunder.


    This place was unmistakably the birth place of the Thunder Soul Bead, known as Thunder Abyss.


    Within Thunder Abyss, countless thunder attribute spiritual beasts resided, the most famous among them being the Thunder Brocade Fish and the Thunder Light Beast.


    These two types of spiritual beasts, though relatively weak in strength, yield a quantity of Thunder Soul Beads upon their defeat that is no less than that of other thunder beasts. Therefore, the Thunder Brocade Fish and the Thunder Light Beast have always been the favorite targets for hunters participating in the trials.


    In this abyss, bloody conflicts often arise over the competition for Thunder Soul Beads. Many individuals even engage in fierce battles for a single Thunder Soul Bead, as collecting more beads significantly increases their chances of ranking among the top three.


    Within the distorted space, a figure clad in a white robe sat quietly atop a massive rock. Within a radius of a thousand meters, no other spirit master was present.


    Even those who saw him immediately kept their distance, fearing to leave a negative impression on him.


    This individual was none other than Kartis Van, the son of Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family.


    "Whoosh~"


    Slowly opening his eyes, the Thunder Light Giant Wolf behind Kartis Van suddenly raised its head and howled towards the sky. A violent surge of spiritual power swept out, sending the thunder attribute spiritual beasts in the surrounding cliffs into a frantic escape.


    "Breakthrough."


    Kartis Van glanced back at the Silver Thunder Wolf, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth. After refining a large number of Thunder Soul Beads, his Silver Thunder Wolf had finally broken through from the ninth tier advanced imperial grade to the first tier intermediate lord grade.


    Its strength soared several times over in an instant.


    Standing up slowly, Kartis Van''s gaze was fixed straight at the entrance of Thunder Abyss, with a mocking smile gradually spreading across his face.

    "What descendant of the Flame Emperor? In the end, you''re nothing more than a stepping stone for me. The pitiful thing is, this stepping stone isn''t even aware of its own insignificance. Do you really think that by elevating yourself to my level, you can prove anything?"


    Kartis Van sneered coldly, "I will use reality to utterly crush you, and make you understand that a country bumpkin from a small place can never stand alongside my name. Pitiful and laughable."


    "Young Master Kartis, have you finished indulging in your delusions?"


    A voice tinged with amusement suddenly came from below, startling Kartis Van. His grim gaze shot downward, landing on the youthful and handsome face of a boy.


    Riding on the back of Red, Blaze Regret smiled warmly as he looked down at Kartis Van. The contrasting gaze between them caused a faint tension to fill the air.


    "I didn''t expect you to actually dare come."


    After a moment of silence, Kartis Van spoke slowly, though his voice was laced with unconcealed mockery, "Bravery commendable, but you seem to be a fool."


    As these words were spoken, the entire Thunder Abyss fell silent. Most of the people present did not recognize Blaze Regret, but from Kartis Van''s tone, they quickly grasped the situation.


    "If you''re going to fight, hurry up. I still have to go to the Thousand Stone Hall to assume my position as honorary elder."


    Blaze Regret smiled slightly, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf had already advanced to the lord grade.


    "You''re not qualified to face me."


    Kartis Van''s lips curled into a sinister smile as he said, "Song Fan, Wun Mon."


    As Kartis Van''s final words fell, two tall figures quietly emerged from the peak of a towering mountain. Their icy gazes locked onto Blaze Regret, sharp and unyielding.


    One bore a rugged mountain tattoo on his chest, while the other had a striking blood eagle mark on his forehead.


    "Song Fan, Wun Mon." sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over the two men, and he remarked calmly, "So you''re from Tiger Demon Mountain and Blood Eagle Pavilion. However, it seems that the strength of your ninth tier spirit Imperial master might not be enough."


    "What an arrogant young lad."


    Upon hearing this, Song Fan and Wun Mon didn''t get angry; instead, they smiled sinisterly. As their hands clenched into fists, a blood eagle with outstretched wings and a fierce tiger shrouded in sinister aura swiftly emerged from their spiritual portals.


    With the appearance of these two spiritual beasts, a palpable sense of dread immediately washed over the faces of many in Thunder Abyss.


    The blood eagle circling in the sky, known as the Blood Cry Eagle, was the signature spiritual beast of Blood Eagle Pavilion. Meanwhile, the fierce tiger roaring at the heavens was the Black Fiend Tiger, a beast solely belonging to Tiger Demon Mountain.


    With these two ninth tier advanced Imperial grade spiritual beasts, Song Fan and Wun Mon were undoubtedly strong contenders for a top three spot in this trial.


    "If you can defeat them, then perhaps you might qualify to face me. Otherwise, just roll out of here on your own."

 Chapter 397

    With his arms crossed over his chest, Kartis Van stood on a protruding rock, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret, as if suggesting that to fight him was a great honor for Blaze Regret.Indeed, that was the sentiment in Kartis Van''s heart at this moment.


    "Heh, a mere youngster isn''t worthy of Young Master Kartis''s personal attention. Leave him to us."


    Song Fan and Wun Mon exchanged a glance, both detecting the cold killing intent in the other''s eyes. With sinister smiles, they turned to Blaze Regret, extending their fingers as two fierce gusts of wind rushed toward him.


    "Wait!"


    As the Blood Cry Eagle and Black Fiend Tiger rapidly enlarged in his pupils, Blaze Regret suddenly raised his palm, adopting a stern demeanor.


    "What, are you afraid?"


    Looking down at Blaze Regret with disdain, Song Fan''s lips curled into a sneer, "It''s too late to be afraid now. Offending Young Master Kartis means you''re destined for a bad end."


    "That''s not what I meant."


    Rubbing the back of his head in exasperation, Blaze Regret looked up at the two figures on the mountaintop with curiosity and said, "After this trial, you both will be joining the Kartis Family and taking on their surname, right?"


    "Naturally." Pride washed over the faces of Song Fan and Wun Mon. From then on, they would belong to a top tier force in Snow Storm City, enjoying resources far beyond what they had before.


    "May I ask one more question?" Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gently stroking his handsome face, Blaze Regret inquired somewhat sheepishly, "Is it a common hobby of your Blood Eagle Pavilion and Tiger Demon Mountain to have two fathers? And in the future, will you take on Kartis Sham''s surname Kartis, or Kartis Van''s surname Kartis?"


    With these words, the thunderous and radiant Thunder Abyss fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the continuous descent of lightning bolts.


    "You seek death!"


    Song Fan and Wun Mon''s faces twisted into expressions of rage. The Blood Cry Eagle and Black Fiend Tiger swooped down ferociously, their claws entwined with spiritual power, poised to tear Blaze Regret to pieces in an instant.


    "Getting angry already? That''s not much fun."


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly sharpened. His figure shot up into the air like lightning, and his silvery white fists, brimming with violent force, struck the backs of the two spiritual beasts repeatedly.


    "Boom!"


    Like two falling cannonballs, the bodies of the Blood Cry Eagle and Black Fiend Tiger were driven forcefully into the hard rock ground, as astonishing cracks rapidly spread outward.


    Two thunderous booms erupted in the Thunder Abyss, leaving everyone momentarily stunned. The once majestic Blood Crying Eagle and Black Scourge Tiger were suddenly hurled into a deep pit, creating a scene that was both jarring and visually striking.


    As everyone''s gaze slowly lifted, their pupils involuntarily contracted, and their mouths slightly parted in astonishment.


    In mid air, Blaze Regret stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down with a cold expression. Behind him flapped a pair of large wings, adorned with a faint yellow flame, looking both magnificent and mysterious.


    "What¡­ what is happening¡­"


    After a while, someone finally swallowed hard, exclaiming in shock. Blaze Regret could actually fly in the air?


    Isn''t this a technique that only powerful Spirit king Realm experts can barely perform?


    This shocking revelation made them temporarily forget the ferocious way Blaze Regret had just punched the Blood Crying Eagle and Black Scourge Tiger into submission a few moments ago.


    Flying in the air is almost every spirit master''s aspiration, and countless people''s lifelong goal is to achieve that powerful Spirit King Realm!


    "How could this be!"


    In contrast to the shocked crowd, Song Fan and Wun Mon quickly recovered from their daze. They looked at the two spirit beasts twitching in the pit with trembling eyes, an uncontrollable fear surging in their hearts.


    Blaze Regret could seriously injure a ninth level high Imperial grade spirit beast with just one punch? Is he a monster?

    With a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth, Kartis Van''s face looked extremely grim. He had intended for Song Fan and Wun Mon to humiliate Blaze Regret in front of everyone, but now it had given him a chance to showcase his prowess instead.


    Lifting his head, Kartis Van''s eyes were fixed with a sinister gaze on Blaze Regret, who merely smiled faintly and then extended his thumb, pointing slightly downward.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense.


    "Heh, the descendant of the Flame Emperor indeed has remarkable courage to actually dare to come to Thunder Abyss."


    Outside the ancient mirror, Song Sha''s gaze lingered on Blaze Regret, who had just entered Thunder Abyss, with a mocking smile on his lips. It seemed that the mythical figure would lose face because of his descendant.


    "If this can be called courage, then there are no fools left in the world."


    The master of the Blood Eagle Pavilion, Wun Pilah, gazed at the image in the ancient mirror. A disdainful smirk appeared on his chiseled, shadowy face, as if he could already foresee the tragic fate awaiting Blaze Regret.


    The scenes in the ancient mirror continuously shifted. When Song Fan and Wun Mon both stepped forward to confront Blaze Regret at Kartis Van''s command, an odd atmosphere began to permeate the surrounding audience.


    By now, even those who were previously unaware sensed that the factions led by the Kartis Family did not seem friendly towards the descendant of the Flame Emperor. Could there be a deeper story behind this animosity? While they speculated internally, not one dared to voice their questions. Seeking the truth in such a setting would be akin to courting trouble.


    "Kian, how long do you think Song Fan and Wun Mon can hold out against Blaze Regret?" Kartis Sham turned his head towards the young man beside him, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

 Chapter 398

    Kartis Sham was particularly pleased with this young man, as he was his eldest son, Kartis Kian. True to his name, Kartis Kian, a fourth tier Spirit Imperial Master, was considered a prodigious talent within the Kartis Family, leading the younger generation. Even in Snow Storm City, he was regarded as one of the top figures."Three breaths, I suppose," Kartis Kian said with a faint smile on his handsome face. The powerful aura he exuded captivated many young women in the audience.


    It was clear that Kartis Kian was more renowned in Snow Storm City than Kartis Van and others.


    "You have high regard for that young man," Kartis Sham chuckled.


    "The potential of the Three Tail sun Blaze Cat naturally surpasses that of the Blood Crying Eagle and the Black Scourge Tiger. Moreover, according to reports from the ancient lands, not even the Giant Wood Demon, after using the Azure Wood Exquisite Heart, could withstand a single move from it. It stands to reason that this Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat possesses spirit techniques beyond its rank," Kartis Kian commented calmly.


    "Indeed." Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire


    Kartis Sham nodded slightly, evidently pleased with Kartis Kian''s analysis. As he smiled and lifted his head, his hand froze while caressing his teacup. In the image within the ancient mirror, Blaze Regret unfurled a pair of magnificent wings behind him and, in a flash, appeared above the Blood Crying Eagle and the Black Scourge Tiger.


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous sound echoed across the square. Blaze Regret stood in mid air, using just his fists to forcefully smash down the ninth tier high level Imperial grade Blood Crying Eagle and Black Scourge Tiger.


    The thunderous scene rendered the previously noisy audience utterly silent, as if a pin could be heard dropping. Some spectators'' expressions were even more exaggerated than those shocked in the Thunder Abyss.


    "That was incredible!"


    The young women who had been swooning over Kartis Kian moments ago now had their eyes wide open, sparkling stars flickering in their black pupils.


    "Is he even human? He''s like a humanoid spirit beast!" someone exclaimed in astonishment. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Wun Pilah of the Blood Eagle Pavilion and Song Sha of Tiger Demon Mountain both had grim faces. Their most outstanding young members couldn''t withstand even a single move from Blaze Regret''s fists?


    And Blaze Regret''s Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat hadn''t even made a move yet!


    Their faces, previously full of mocking disdain, were now clouded with gloom. This young man had to be eliminated; otherwise, the Blood Eagle Pavilion and Tiger Demon Mountain would know no peace in the future.


    "Half a breath, it seems I miscalculated."


    Kartis Kian pursed his lips and laughed at himself. "Some people really do take unconventional paths, ignoring the orthodox way of cultivation. The descendant of the Flame Emperor surely knows how to make him proud."


    "There was a silver flash on his fist just now. Although it disappeared quickly, I''m sure I didn''t see it wrong."


    Kartis Sham''s face was sullen. "And those fiery wings, what exactly are they? Blaze Ash, you''ve certainly put in a lot of effort for your incompetent son."


    Gazing at the large wings behind Blaze Regret, Kartis Sham''s thoughts raced. He instinctively thought that Blaze Regret''s current prowess must be the result of Blaze Ash''s helping behind the scenes.


    "However, no matter what, Van''er will not lose. The trump card I gave him hasn''t been revealed yet." Kartis Sham''s sinister smile deepened.


    "Clang!"


    A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, making the already oppressive Thunder Abyss even more stifling. Snaking flashes of lightning quickly slithered along the mountain''s rock walls.


    "It seems I underestimated you after all."


    Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret, his cold voice slowly emerging: "But don''t think that just because you''ve defeated Song Fan and Wun Mon, you have reason to be smug. Your true end is only just beginning."


    "Swoosh!"


    As Kartis Van spoke, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s paws stepped down, and it suddenly charged forward, its fanged maw opened wide and emitting a thunderous wolf howl that echoed through the entire Thunder Abyss.


    Dark clouds continued to gather ominously over Thunder Abyss, with dazzling lightning resembling terrifying giant pythons rolling and tumbling within the cloud layers. The entire space became increasingly violent as energy accumulated within the thunderclouds.


    "Boom!"


    A brilliant flash of lightning pierced through the dim sky, followed by an earth shattering explosion that seemed poised to shatter the entire Thunder Abyss.


    As the lightning struck, the Silver Thunder Wolf shot out suddenly, its sinister eyes fixed intently on Red. Violent electric arcs crackled around its extended claws, which then tore down fiercely.


    The Silver Thunder Wolf''s attack came swiftly. Red tilted its head slightly as the wolf''s sharp claws grazed past its cheek like a flash of lightning, shattering the hard rocky ground beneath with a single strike.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    After a brief skirmish, powerful spiritual energy surged in the claws of both spirit beasts. Each turned around and collided with lightning speed. As the beasts engaged in a frenzied battle, the crisp sound of metal clashing resounded continuously.


    "Silver Thunder Wolf, Thunderclap Claw!"


    Following Kartis Van''s indifferent command, the Silver Thunder Wolf, engaged in combat with Red, took a step back to narrowly evade the incoming fiery claw attack. Its sinister eyes narrowed, and a surge of lightning erupted from its broad right claw.


    "Swish!"


    In the next moment, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s claws slashed down suddenly, tearing three glaring marks into the space before it.


    A medium level lord tier spiritual technique, Thunderclap Claw!


    A fierce rumble of thunder came from above, and Red let out a low growl. Intense flames arose from its claws, with four slender pale yellow streams of light swirling around its body as it fearlessly charged forward.


    "Bang!"


    At the moment of impact, a powerful spiritual energy storm swept across instantly. The small rocks on the surrounding ground shattered with cracking sounds, and even the Thunder Brocade Fish and Thunder Light Beast hovering mid air scrambled to escape in panic amidst the astonishing tremors.

    "Hiss!"


    Red''s paws skidded back several dozen meter, its sharp claws leaving long, thin cracks on the bluestone ground. In contrast, the Silver Thunder Wolf, wreathed in lightning, only retreated three steps, hinting at the disparity in their clash of power.


    "Heh, I thought you had more up your sleeve, but it seems that''s all there is."


    Kartis Van curled his lip with disdain, a playful smile creeping onto his face. "I wonder if your fire cat can withstand this move."


    "Spirit Technique, Silver Thunder Split!"


    With a fierce stomp, the Silver Thunder Wolf howled towards the sky. Brilliant lightning rapidly gathered at its forehead, and soon, a long, sharp lightning horn was forged.


    Lightning flickered across the horn, exuding an extremely sharp aura.


    "Swish!"


    In a sudden flash, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s razor sharp single horn tore through space instantaneously, hurtling towards Red with the force to shatter rock.


    This fierce strike was powerful enough to cleave a spirit beast of the same rank in half.


    As the Silver Thunder Wolf charged towards it, Red''s expression turned grave. Four fiery tails extended rapidly behind it, crossing in front to withstand the Silver Thunder Wolf''s formidable assault.


    "Clang!"


    With a flash of lightning, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s horn fiercely struck Red''s four fiery tails. Instantly, the four blade like pale yellow tails were forced into a dramatic arc, seemingly ready to break at any moment.


    "Boom!"


    After holding out for a moment, Red could no longer sustain the defense. The one elongated tails, composed of spiritual energy, shattered explosively, the rippling force sending its body flying several meter away.


    Seeing itself gaining the upper hand, a sinister gleam flashed in the Silver Thunder Wolf''s eyes. With lightning encircling its broad claws, it stomped down mercilessly, aiming a powerful strike at the newly grounded Red.


    Catching sight of the Silver Thunder Wolf advancing with momentum from the corner of its eye, Red''s gaze turned steely. Pale yellow spiritual energy surged out from within, and rapidly spinning fire ring spikes flickered continuously around it.


    As its paw struck one of the sharp fire ring spikes, the Silver Thunder Wolf was slightly startled, hastily retreating and steadying itself while fixing a cold gaze on the array of fiery rings surrounding Red.


    At this moment, nine rotating fire ring spikes revolved around Red. Each blazed with fierce flames, and the intense heat caused the air above to waver and distort slightly.


    With a sudden stomp and a clap of its paws, Red gathered the nine spinning fire rings into its palms, aligning them in a formation akin to nine stars in a row. They spun rapidly, emitting a sharp, whistling sound as they cut through the air.


    "Crack!"


    With a slightly serious expression, Red clapped its paws together, instantly merging the nine fire ring spikes into one, forming a large ring about a meter in size. Sharp fire spikes protruded and retracted along its edge.


    As he observed the menacingly spinning giant fire ring in Red''s grasp, a hint of seriousness finally appeared on Kartis Van''s face. From this newly formed fire ring, he could vaguely sense a lethal threat.


    The howling cold wind whipped Kartis Van''s long robe, making it flap loudly, while Blaze Regret''s expression remained as calm as a deep pool.


    The fire ring spikes had once been an indomitable weapon, but as Red grew, they gradually fell behind. However, now with nine rings united, their destructive power rivaled that of the previous Four Tailed Spear.


    "If that''s the case, then there''s no other choice."


    Kartis Van muttered, his face tinged with a faint murderous intent. "Silver Thunder Wolf, use your strongest move to take down that fire Cat."


    "Boom!"


    As Kartis Van spoke, a series of dazzling lightning bolts erupted from within the Silver Thunder Wolf. The writhing thunderclouds above began to descend slowly, a wave of destruction rippling through the entire Thunder Abyss.


    "Get out of here!"


    Feeling the oncoming terrifying aura, the people in Thunder Abyss lost all interest in spectating. A deep fear rose on their faces.


    If they stayed any longer, every one of them risked being obliterated in this thunderous abyss!


    "Howl!"


    The Silver Thunder Wolf cast a disdainful glance at Red before throwing its head back and howling towards the sky. From the dense, dark thunderclouds above, dazzling bolts of lightning descended instantly, striking its body in rapid succession.


    At the same time, a terrifyingly massive phantom of a thunder wolf seemed to manifest behind it, slowly opening its eyes. Those dark green pupils gleamed with an eerie, chilling coldness.


    A massive shadow of lightning, resembling a demonic wolf overlooking the heavens and earth, stood proud behind the Silver Thunder Wolf. Its sharp claws slightly spread open, and the surging thunder underneath distorted the surrounding space slightly.


    This was a high level lord tier spiritual technique: Thunder Image!


    Observing the thunderous giant wolf hovering behind the Silver Thunder Wolf, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually turned serious. Thunder Image was a spiritual technique that only some exceptionally gifted lightning attribute spiritual beasts had the chance to comprehend. Once executed, it could temporarily enhance the spiritual beast''s power and even create some special attack methods.


    It was evident that Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf must have refined a Thunder Image Spirit Crystal.


    Such an extremely rare spirit crystal typically required nearly a million gold coins per piece, and it was still a case of supply not meeting demand. One can imagine how significant the enhancement from the Thunder Image spiritual technique was for lightning attribute spiritual beasts.


    "Blaze Regret is going to fall."


    Many people at the Thunder Abyss entrance shared the same thought. A Silver Thunder Wolf with the Thunder Image spiritual technique could even fight against a first tier high level lord grade spiritual beast. Against the ninth tier high level Imperial grade spiritual spirit beast Red, it could easily crush the opponent.

    "Serves him right!"Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire


    Standing atop the peak, Song Fan and Wun Mon wore sinister smiles. If Blaze Regret''s spiritual beast died, they could easily subdue him with Kartis Van''s help.


    At that moment, they would use the cruelest means to leave Blaze Regret with a lifelong unforgettable impression.


    With a cold glint in their eyes, Red''s sharp claws, enveloped in pale yellow flames, swung fiercely. A massive ring of fire spikes, lined with sharp barbs along the edges, whistled out, carrying an unmatched, scorching gust of wind, slashing violently toward the Silver Thunder Wolf.


    At such speed, even the air seemed to be split apart.


    "Heh."


    Watching Red''s powerful strike, Kartis Van''s lips curled into a mocking smile.


    "Swish!"


    A flash of red light, and the spikes of the fire ring approached the Silver Thunder Wolf''s head like lightning, seemingly about to split its head in half. However, at this moment, a giant thunder claw slowly extended from behind.


    With a crisp sound, the rapidly spinning fire ring was suddenly gripped between the claws of the thunder, and a series of dazzling sparks splattered. The fierce fire ring came to a halt, visibly slowing down to the naked eye.


    "Crack!"


    With a sinister and cold smile tugging at his lips, the Thunder Giant Wolf clenched its paw fiercely. Instantly, fine cracks spread across the surface of the fire spike ring, quickly covering it entirely. With a crisp sound, the ring shattered into clusters of flames, scattering across the rocky ground.


    "Is that all you''ve got?"


    Standing on a massive rock suspended in midair, Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret with a mocking expression. He knew that most of the strong individuals in Snow Storm City were watching this intense battle, so defeating Blaze Regret in front of so many people would undoubtedly be a significant achievement.


    Moreover, after defeating Blaze Regret, he would secure a position among the younger generation. At that time, having defeated the son of the Flame Emperor would also serve as a bragging right.


    "A Silver Thunder Wolf with the Thunder Image is roughly equivalent to a first tier high level lord grade spiritual beast. Using it to defeat my Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, do you feel proud?"


    Blaze Regret''s face showed no trace of anxiety, and there was even a playful look. This unusual behavior made those outside the ancient mirror start to wonder inwardly.


    Could it be that Blaze Regret still had a trump card?


    "Heh, people without strength always like to find one excuse or another, and such people will never achieve anything in life, like you right now!" Kartis Van laughed, his smile full of sarcasm.


    "I think you misunderstand me."


    Shaking his head slightly, Blaze Regret smiled faintly, "There''s no point in bullying the weak. It''s only when the weak overcome the strong that there''s something to be proud of."


    "You?" Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Van shrugged, feigning helplessness. It was hard to imagine that this was the opponent his father had carefully chosen for him. Not only was his strength pathetically weak, but he also seemed to have a problem with arrogance and conceit.


    "Do you know why the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat is named so?"


    Ignoring Kartis Van''s sarcastic tone, Blaze Regret looked at Red, his gentle voice slowly resonating in the Thunder Abyss: "It''s because the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat possesses a special fire, Sun Flame. Before reaching the ninth tier, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat''s spiritual power is too weak to condense a true Sun Flame. But now, it can barely perform it."


    "Pretentious trickery."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s words, Kartis Van sneered. He had never even heard of something like the Sun Flame, and in front of the Silver Thunder Wolf with Thunder Image, he didn''t believe there was any method that could turn the tables.


    "This is the first time I''m truly using it," Blaze Regret remarked with a faint smile as he opened his palm. The spiritual power from his first spiritual portal surged without reservation towards Red. In an instant, that vast spiritual energy was fully infused into Red''s body.


    As the spiritual power poured in, a blazing sun mark suddenly flickered on Red''s forehead. The intense light drew Kartis Van''s previously disdainful gaze, forcing him to take notice.


    "Roar!"


    With a stomp on the ground, the pale yellow flames on Red''s body surged violently upward. The searing temperature evaporated the surrounding water vapor into nothingness.


    "Whoosh!"


    The raging flames condensed above Red in a frenzy and, to the astonishment of many onlookers, transformed into a blazing sun radiating terrifying energy. Threads of flame clung to its edges, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to boil in response.


    This blazing sun was not part of any spiritual technique. It was purely condensed from the Sun Flame, yet the terrifying aura it emitted subtly suppressed the thunderous giant wolf behind the Silver Thunder Wolf.


    "What... what kind of flame is this?"


    Kartis Van''s eyes widened in shock, his hand clenching tightly. At this moment, a sudden feeling crept into his heart, a sense of impending defeat.


    "Impossible, I, Kartis Van, will never lose to a lowly servant!"


    With a sinister expression on his face, Kartis Van''s low and fierce shout resonated: "Silver Thunder Wolf, use the Gate of Thunder!"


    Hearing the command, the Silver Thunder Wolf hesitated for a moment before gritting its teeth. Its body trembled as the thunderous shadow behind it roared out, twisting rapidly in mid air, and then transformed into a perfectly round Thunder Gate.


    The Thunder Gate was intricately etched with complex lightning patterns, and an extremely violent energy, like a raging tide, emanated from within.


    The intricate and spherical Thunder Gate hovered in mid air, slowly rotating. A deep rumbling sound of thunder echoed in everyone''s ears, causing some with weaker wills to feel dazed under its influence.


    The Thunder Gate was a special spiritual technique created by the Thunder Image, capable of unleashing a terrifying strike in an instant.

 Chapter 401

    However, after using this technique, the user would not be able to summon the Thunder Image again for the next three months and would be unable to absorb external spiritual energy.This meant that Kartis Van''s power would temporarily stagnate.


    Such a significant cost to activate this astonishing spiritual technique clearly demonstrated the intensity of Kartis Van''s intent to kill Blaze Regret.


    "I guarantee, you will die a miserable death!"


    Thinking about the precious three months wasted because of a lowly and humble commoner, Kartis Van''s eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart felt as if it was bleeding. Even some young members of second rate factions might seize this opportunity to surpass him.


    This consequence was something he was unwilling to bear and found hard to accept. However, Blaze Regret''s formidable presence had exceeded his expectations, forcing him to use this trump card.


    "Boom!"


    The moment Kartis Van''s last word fell, the slowly rotating Thunder Gate suddenly flashed with light. Immediately, a thick pillar of thunder burst out from it, shattering the hard bluestone ground below as it passed.


    The dazzling thunder pillar rapidly expanded in his pupils. Red took a deep breath and swung his claws. The blazing sun in the sky began to fall slowly, filling the entire Thunder Abyss with scorching waves.


    In a flash, the thunder pillar and the blazing sun collided violently. Strangely, there was no sound at this moment. The two attacks quietly struck each other, with the energy within both the pillar and the sun rapidly depleting as they tried to erode one another first.


    "Break for me!"


    Standing on a large rock, Kartis Van''s eyes were fiercely glaring downward. Suddenly, a trace of fear flashed across his face because, as the last bit of spiritual energy from the Thunder Gate was exhausted, the sun, burning with pale yellow flames, continued its slow descent.


    The Silver Thunder Wolf''s strongest move had failed!


    As the blazing sun slowly approached, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s fur stood on end, and it attempted to step away from the attack''s range. However, it was horrified to find that the immense pressure emanating from the sun had fixed it in place, rendering it immobile.


    "Stop it!" Kartis Van''s expression changed dramatically as he shouted urgently, "If you withdraw your attack, I promise you a spot among the top three, and the Kartis Family will accept you. But if you kill my Silver Thunder Wolf, the Kartis Family will never rest until one of us is dead!"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but let out a cold laugh.


    A spot? Only people like Song Fan and Wun Mon would care about such things. Even if it was given to him, he would find it distasteful.


    As for a life and death struggle, from the moment Kartis Sham led people to hunt down his father, hadn''t it already become a fight to the death? Threatening him with such feeble words was utterly laughable.


    "Boom!"


    The enormous blazing sun, like a scorching fireball, mercilessly crushed the Silver Thunder Wolf to the ground. The tidal wave of energy erupted violently at that moment, ravaging everything around it.


    The surrounding mountains trembled slightly, with stones rolling uncontrollably downwards, only to be shattered by the fierce energy before they hit the ground.


    Within the Sun Flame Barrier, Blaze Regret''s eyes were slightly narrowed, but the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.


    No wonder the entire Sun Moon Empire had only seen a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat once. This spirit beast''s Sun Flame was overwhelmingly domineering. Although Red borrowed partial benefits from Blaze Regret, the Silver Thunder Wolf also had the Thunder Image''s assistance.


    Moreover, for Red, this powerful special flame was just beginning to show its strength. In the future, it might have even broader development potential.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"


    As the crimson energy dissipated, the battered Silver Thunder Wolf struggled to stand in the crater. Its once smooth and shiny silver mane was now matted with charred black patches, and grim bloodstains covered its body. Crimson blood dripped from its chin like a light rain.


    As they witnessed the Silver Thunder Wolf''s pitiful state, many faces were filled with disbelief. Kartis Van was considered the most powerful among the younger generation in Snow Storm City. With the Silver Thunder Wolf possessing the Thunder Image spiritual technique, he could even compete with some of the youth. Yet now, he had been defeated by Blaze Regret?


    "Silver Thunder Wolf, return!" Seeing that the Silver Thunder Wolf still had life, Kartis Van''s face lit up with joy. He opened his palm, and a spirit portal surrounded by lightning quickly formed in front of him.


    "Finish it," Blaze Regret said calmly, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If the Silver Thunder Wolf were of the same rank as Red, it would have been obliterated by that terrifying strike. However, a lord grade spirit beast was still a lord grade spirit beast. Even with the Sun Flame, it was challenging for Red, with its ninth rank imperial grade strength, to kill it in one blow.

    But if one strike wasn''t enough, then another would suffice.


    With a gentle roll of its tongue, Red swallowed a Spirit Restoration Pill hidden under its tongue. Instantly, the empty spiritual energy within its body quickly filled up.


    "Swish!"


    A red flash streaked by as Red appeared in front of the Silver Thunder Wolf. Its paw, surging with scorching spiritual energy, struck firmly on the latter''s forehead before it lightly tapped the ground and swiftly retreated.


    At the instant Red''s paw hit the Silver Thunder Wolf, a strong suction force erupted from Kartis Van''s spirit portal, pulling the wolf''s body into the air.


    "Do you think you can kill my Silver Thunder Wolf? Dream on." Kartis Van''s face displayed an arrogant laugh, though deep within his eyes lay a murderous intent. No matter what, he intended for Blaze Regret to die here in the Thunder Abyss today. Z

 Chapter 402

    "You seem to be celebrating a bit too early," Blaze Regret remarked, a trace of mockery in his tone.As the Silver Thunder Wolf was lifted into the air, Red, with its paw wrapped in Sun Flame, gently raised it, then stomped fiercely on the ground.


    "Crack! Crack! Crack!"


    Accompanied by several crisp cracking sounds, sharp, pale yellow crystalline spikes suddenly burst out from within the Silver Thunder Wolf, causing its body to freeze in mid air.


    Slender and sharp crystal pillars covered the body of the Silver Thunder Wolf, making it look like a giant spiked ball suspended in mid air, giving off an immensely intimidating aura.


    Warm blood trickled down from the crystal pillars beneath the Silver Thunder Wolf, dripping steadily onto the bluestone ground below, staining it a vivid red.


    Everyone''s gaze was fixed on the body of the Silver Thunder Wolf, which was gradually cooling. At that moment, time seemed to have come to a standstill.


    "So this is the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat."


    The scene in the ancient mirror froze at the moment the Silver Thunder Wolf lost its vitality. Kartis Kian''s sharp nails lightly tapped the armrest beside him, and his eyebrows slowly furrowed.


    It seemed somewhat different from what was anticipated.


    "He must have cheated, how disgraceful!" Kartis Kian, seated towards the back, had her fairly attractive face slightly twisted with anger.


    "Indeed, Blaze Regret must have used some underhanded means. Otherwise, how could he have defeated Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf!"


    Similar voices erupted among the younger generation of the Kartis family. They were unwilling and afraid to believe that Kartis Van, their leading figure, could be defeated by a ninth tier spirit Imperial master.


    "Silence, all of you!"


    Hearing the commotion from behind, Kartis Sham''s already gloomy expression darkened further. He slammed the table beside him, and the entire plaza fell into a dead silence.


    "Van''er hasn''t lost yet. How disgraceful is all this noise!" Kartis Sham coldly snorted, causing the younger generation of the Kartis family to quickly lower their heads, not daring to even face his back.


    "Hasn''t lost yet..."


    Muttering these words, a glimmer flashed in Mut Lin''s eyes as he softly murmured, "This old fox Kartis Sham is really cunning. I was wondering why, several months ago, he was willing to pay such a high price to buy a fifth grade Soul Falling Flower from my Angsana Pavillion Shop. It seems young Blaze Regret is in for some trouble."


    "Hiss!"


    At that moment, the audience couldn''t help but gasp. In the ancient mirror, Kartis Van was suddenly surrounded by strands of lightning, but the lightning was all a terrifying dark hue.


    "You are good, really good."


    With bloodshot eyes fixed on the Silver Thunder Wolf that had crashed to the ground, Kartis Van gritted his teeth tightly. A sinister grin suddenly spread across his face as he lifted his head to stare directly at Blaze Regret, revealing a set of sharp white teeth.


    Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire


    "Crackle!"


    As Kartis Van clenched his fist abruptly, a mysterious, dark lightning began to swirl around him. A powerful wave of energy emanated from him, rippling outward in all directions.


    A shadowy black thunder eagle flickered faintly behind him.


    "This is..."


    The powerful figures outside the ancient mirror, observing the thunder eagle hovering behind Kartis Van, showed expressions of intense shock on their faces. "Is this the Shadow Thunder Soul, which only the inner elders of the Kartis family can possess?"


    "The weakest Shadow Thunder Soul is at least a second tier high lord grade, right? How could Kartis Van withstand it with his strength before entering the ancient land?"


    "The only explanation is that someone used a Soul Falling Flower to forcibly suppress the power of the Shadow Thunder Soul and then implanted it into Kartis Van''s spiritual core at the opportune moment."


    "That''s too despicable. Even some of the younger generation in the city couldn''t possibly defeat a Shadow Thunder Soul!"


    "Haha, I see it now. The Kartis family invited the descendants of the Flame Emperor this time just to kill him in the Thunder Abyss. It turns out Kartis Sham is just a hypocrite."


    Voices erupted from different directions. Although the Kartis family was considered top tier in Snow storm City, a few independent cultivators, relying on their formidable strength, were not intimidated. Thus, the candid words that followed made Kartis Sham''s face turn an ashen shade instantly.


    "Kill him!"


    Contrary to the excitement of the crowd, a sinister smile appeared on the faces of Song Sha and Wun Xiao. Besides the irreconcilable disputes, they also harbored resentment over Blaze Regret''s previous victories over Song Fan and Wun Mon.


    Therefore, witnessing Kartis Van reveal his powerful trump card brought them considerable satisfaction.


    "Sizzle!" S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The eerie black lightning flickered rapidly across Kartis Van''s body, and the thunder shadow behind him began to solidify. Waves of powerful energy rippled outward swiftly.


    Suspended behind Kartis Van, the thunder shadow was enveloped in a sturdy armor of lightning. Violent lightning surged from its lower body, allowing it to hover in midair despite its lack of legs.


    This spirit beast was unmistakably the Kartis family''s unique spirit beast, the Shadow Thunder Soul.


    It is said that the strongest spirit beast of the Kartis family head, Kartis Sham, is a seventh tier high King Realms Shadow Thunder Soul. With a mere wave of his hand, countless shadowy thunders filled with terrifying spiritual power would descend from the sky, capable of obliterating a ten mile radius into nothingness.


    "Do you realize that awakening the Shadow Thunder Soul prematurely will block my future spiritual path due to the backlash of the shadow thunder, making it difficult to open?" Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret, his voice calm and soft, yet anyone could detect the underlying chilling murderous intent.


    A silent wolf is the most lethal, unlike a barking dog.


    "I didn''t know."


    Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently. "Even if I knew, so what? It has nothing to do with me. You awakened it yourself. Did I force you?"

 Chapter 403

    Are you joking? You used every trick to try and kill me and even summoned a Shadow Thunder Soul that doesn''t truly belong to you. Do you expect me to feel guilty?Hearing this, Kartis Van''s breathing became slightly rapid, and sinister blood threads climbed in his eyes.


    "Haha, what a sharp tongue you have there."


    Kartis Van''s cheeks trembled slightly as he thought about how his future cultivation path was nearly half ruined because of the person below. His killing intent surged like a raging sea. "I really want to know if you''ll still have that annoying expression when you cry and beg me for mercy."


    "Crash!"


    The pitch black lightning raged within the Thunder Abyss, and the Shadow Thunder Soul''s eyes slowly opened, staring expressionlessly at Blaze Regret. It then stretched out its hand, condensing the lightning into a staff over ten feet long, with ends sharp beyond description.


    "Are you sure you want to use power beyond your capability?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lifted slightly as he coldly regarded Kartis Van.


    "If you have it, use it," Kartis Van sneered, his smile cruel and mocking.


    "Is that so?"


    Lowering his head with a faint smile, Blaze Regret opened his hand and gave a gentle twist beside him. "Then you better be ready to catch it."


    "Playing tricks."


    Blaze Regret''s faint laughter reached his ears, causing Kartis Van to frown slightly. Then he sneered. Could it be that Blaze Regret, like him, also used the Fallen Spirit Flower to seal a spirit beast within the Spiritual portal?


    However, the next moment, the sneer on his face froze. A figure clad in silver armor, with a powerful fist, slowly emerged from the Spiritual portal beside Blaze Regret.


    "Wow!"


    At the instant the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros appeared, the square outside the ancient mirror exploded into a buzz of astonished voices. Many people couldn''t help but stand up, staring incredulously at the indifferent Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros in the mirror''s image.


    What shocked them was not the strength of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, but the fact that Blaze Regret was actually a Dual Source Spiritual Master!


    Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire


    "A Dual Source Spiritual Master, how is this possible!" Kartis Kian''s face turned pale. In the entire Sun Moon Empire, only the royal monarch Seng Techan was known to be a Dual Source Spiritual Master!


    And now, another one has appeared? Moreover, it''s the arch enemy of the Kartis Family!


    "Oh my god, am I seeing this right, a Dual Source Spiritual Master!"


    "And with an earth attribute that restrains the Shadow Thunder Soul, this is going to be interesting!"


    "That''s not the point. A Dual Source Spiritual Master is as rare as a Spirit Emperor. I''ve dreamed of opening a Spiritual portal with a different attribute!"


    "Keep dreaming; maybe your chances will be slightly better."


    Whispers filled the audience seats from all directions, with many faces full of excitement and anticipation. Only a few factions like Tiger Demon Mountain and Blood Eagle Pavilion sat there with grim expressions.


    "A Dual Source Spiritual Master, even the royal family might have to lower themselves to recruit him now," Won Xiao''s hoarse voice echoed darkly. He knew all too well how enticing a Dual Source Spiritual Master could be.


    "Recruit? That would have to be a living person." Song Sha pushed the woman in his arms away, murderous intent swirling rapidly in his eyes.

    Leaning on the chair, gazing at the silver armored Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Kartis Kian squinted his eyes slightly, a rare chill appearing on his handsome face. "Father, that item might not be attainable for the moment."


    "Not necessarily."


    Kartis Sham''s eyes gleamed with a blade like sharpness. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low tone, "The earth attribute Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros does counter the Shadow Thunder Soul, but the gap in strength between them is evident. Who is stronger or weaker is still uncertain."


    Kartis Kian nodded noncommittally at his words.


    Let''s hope so; otherwise, I''ll have to take action myself.


    "Zzz!"


    The pitch black lightning flickered along the thunder staff as Kartis Van''s expression gradually turned colder, "So what if you''re a Dual Source Spiritual Master? So what if you have an earth attribute? In the end, you''re just a first tier mid level lord grade. My Shadow Thunder Soul is a second tier high level lord grade, capable of battling even fourth tier mid level lord grade spirit beasts. What chance does your inferior Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stand?"


    In some places, spirit beasts that do not reach high level grades are branded as inferior, as the gap between mid level and high level is substantial.


    "Inferior?"


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly and turned to the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, "It seems we''ve been underestimated. Blasting that Shadow Thunder Soul with a single punch shouldn''t be a problem, right?"


    With a calm demeanor, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros nodded slowly, as if it had never considered the formidable Shadow Thunder Soul to be a threat.


    "Foolish dreams," Kartis Van coldly spat out a few words.


    A single punch? Excluding the attribute advantages and tier suppression, the strength of the two spirit beasts was almost evenly matched, yet Blaze Regret dared to claim a single punch would suffice. It was pure fantasy.


    Hearing Kartis Van''s mocking words, Blaze Regret merely lifted the corners of his mouth, showing no intention of rebutting.


    Standing beside Blaze Regret, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros opened its right palm and then suddenly clenched it. A golden dragon seal seemed to condense at its fist''s edge, and a deep dragon''s roar resounded throughout the entire Thunder Abyss.


    "Roar!"


    The earth shaking dragon''s roar echoed through the mirror, reverberating above the Kartis Family square, leaving everyone stunned was this a reversion to ancestral form?


    "Boom!"


    With a sudden stomp, the ground shattered, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shot forward like a silver streak of light. Its silver fist, carrying the golden dragon seal, fiercely struck towards the Shadow Thunder Soul. Under this immense power, the air trembled with sonic booms.

 Chapter 404

    Feeling the overwhelming force approaching, a hint of panic finally appeared in the previously calm eyes of the Shadow Thunder Soul. It quickly raised the thunder staff in its hands to block the incoming silver fist.With a loud clang of metal meeting metal, the thunder staff in the Shadow Thunder Soul''s hands shattered with a crack, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist slammed heavily into its chest.


    "Pu!"


    Blood sprayed from his mouth as the Shadow Thunder Soul''s body was violently propelled backward. Along its trajectory, several massive rocks shattered into pieces, until it finally crashed with a thunderous impact against the mountainside. Instantly, spiderweb like cracks spread rapidly across the mountainside behind it, and its chest caved in deeply, faintly revealing the outline of the dragon seal imprinted there.


    As the crowd observed the Shadow Thunder Soul embedded in the mountainside, utterly motionless, their minds buzzed with disbelief. This was no ordinary spirit beast but a second tier high level lord grade! Even with its attributes being countered, it should have had some chance to resist.


    Yet, under the ferocity of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s punch, it was nearly obliterated! The atavistic Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros was truly terrifying!


    "Crack!"


    The teacup in Kartis Sham''s hand shattered abruptly, spilling tea and a few leaves over his robe. His face turned as dark and ominous as an impending storm, silencing everyone in the Kartis Family behind him, including several elders, who dared not make a sound.


    Decades ago, he was thoroughly suppressed by Blaze Ash, and now, history seemed to be repeating itself with his descendants.


    And this despite the vastly different training environments and resources.


    As Kartis Sham''s face grew darker, ripples suddenly appeared on the expansive ancient mirror. Some of the weaker individuals began to automatically reappear in the square, clearly indicating that the space within was starting to reject them, swiftly transporting out those who didn''t belong.


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, amid the figures continually appearing in the square, a white silhouette shot out like a cannonball from within the ancient mirror. It hit the ground with such force that it plowed a long furrow with its back.


    Lying on the ground in disarray, Kartis Van had a mud covered footprint prominently imprinted on his chest.


    Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire


    Clearly, he had been kicked out by someone.


    "Blaze Regret, I will kill you!"


    Clutching his chest where several ribs had been broken, Kartis Van struggled to his feet, his venomous roar echoing loudly.


    Kartis Van''s voice, filled with venomous rage, echoed over the Kartis Family square. Looking at his miserable appearance, many showed sympathy, but more people sneered inwardly.

    Mut Lin slightly raised his head, gazing at the image in the ancient mirror of Blaze Regret, who flapped his fiery wings and hovered in mid air. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as if recalling those bygone days.


    "Want to get out?"


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s wings flutter behind him, attempting to leave the ancient mirror, Kartis Kian''s face suddenly revealed a gentle smile: "You hurt my second brother; you''d better stay in the Thunder Abyss forever."


    As he spoke, a bright fragment appeared between Kartis Kian''s palms, and with his hand clenching, it shattered with a crack.


    "Not good!"


    In midair, Blaze Regret''s expression suddenly changed. The spiritual vortex before him began to rapidly dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, which meant he could not leave this ancient place with everyone else!


    "What''s happening?"


    The image in the ancient mirror twisted violently, and moments later, it brightened as if washed clean. Yet, Blaze Regret''s figure froze in the mirror, then vanished in an instant.


    "Kartis Sham, what did you do!"


    Mut Lin abruptly stood up, his eyelids twitching, and his sharp gaze fixed on Kartis Sham. His voice carried an unmistakable chill.


    "Did nothing at all."


    Brushing the tea stained robe, Kartis Sham looked up and smiled faintly at Mut Lin. Although he hadn''t immediately obtained the item from Blaze Regret, as long as it remained in the Thunder Abyss, he had countless ways to extract it in the future.


    Moreover, he could do so without anyone knowing, which was extremely delightful.


    "Kartis Sham, over a decade ago, you took advantage of Blaze Ash''s severe injuries, joining forces with several factions to besiege him, causing his power to plummet and ultimately forcing him out of Snow Storm City. Now, you''re targeting his descendants, setting deadly traps one after another. Have you really forgotten who protected your Kartis Family when the Youguang Empire attacked?"


    Mut Lin''s icy voice resounded across the square, silencing the boisterous crowd instantly. Meanwhile, Song Sha and Wun Xiao''s expressions turned sour, clearly indicating their involvement in the events Mut Lin recounted.


    Silence prevailed throughout the Kartis Family.


    Many present were unaware of the secrets from years past, so Mut Lin''s words undoubtedly had a powerful impact on them.


    "Master Mut, when you speak, you should provide evidence," Kartis Sham said with a calm expression, though his hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly. He had never expected that after years of silence, Mut Lin would reveal past events to everyone in Snow Storm City, risking open conflict for the sake of a mere young spiritual Imperial master.


    "Yes, Uncle Mut, I know you have a carefree nature, but some things should not be said recklessly. After all, accusing someone might just be a way to cover one''s own insecurity, don''t you think?" Kartis Kian stood up, looking at Mut Lin with a gentle smile.


    "Kian''er, stand down. This is not your place to speak," Kartis Sham said, secretly admiring Kartis Kian''s intervention but maintaining a fa?ade of sternness.


    "Could it be that Angsana Pavillion is the hidden hand trying to divert trouble to the Kartis Family?"


    "It''s not impossible. The Kartis Family''s rapid development has made some people wary, but they dare not act openly, resorting instead to underhanded tactics."

 Chapter 405

    "I see. I was wondering why there was a sudden attack; it turns out there''s this connection."With some people''s deliberate guidance, suspicions began to shift subtly towards Angsana Pavillion, causing Stone Yee and his companions to look rather displeased.


    "Master Mut, you know this ancient mirror has been around for a long time, and some minor issues are unavoidable. Let''s wait a while longer; perhaps Nephew Blaze Regret will emerge soon," Kartis Sham said, feigning good intentions.


    "Sit down."


    With no trace of anger on his face, Mut Lin sat back down slowly, his serene demeanor suggesting that the crowd''s discussions did not affect him in the slightest.


    "Master, should we secretly take care of those who just tried to incite trouble?" Stone Yee asked in a low voice, his cold, old eyes scanning the audience.


    "They''re just dogs who''ve thrown in with the Kartis Family."


    Mut Lin''s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the ancient mirror, sighing inwardly. He hoped nothing unexpected would happen; otherwise, the trust placed in him by old friends would be in vain.


    "Look at that, seems they''re guilty, too afraid even to refute. If you''re going to make up lies, at least make them believable to avoid getting exposed on the spot."


    "Indeed, those hypocrites at Angsana Pavillion should learn their lesson. They act like Snow Storm City is their own backyard, doing business to the point of foolishness."


    "Don''t say that. If the royal family hears about it, the consequences could be dire. People who don''t know better might think they''re trying to overthrow the royal family and dominate Sun Moon, just like the Sand Palace attempted back in the day."


    Seeing that the Angsana Pavillion remained silent, some individuals secretly grew more brazen in their provocations. With the Kartis Family behind them, the more they stirred the pot, the more they could curry favor with the Kartis Family.


    "Wut Tong from Eight Mile Alley and Lord Feng from Listening Wind Tower are really bold. If it weren''t for Blaze Ash''s pity buying them from slave traders back then, they wouldn''t be where they are today." Hearing the increasingly outrageous comments, even Mut Lin''s usually refined demeanor showed a hint of coldness.


    "A mere fourth tier spiritual Lord master calling himself ''Lord''? What a joke," Stone Yee sneered. With so many people present, they couldn''t act rashly. If they killed those two, Angsana Pavillion would be unable to clear their name, no matter how hard they tried.


    This is likely exactly what the Kartis Family hopes to see.


    "Kian''er, you''ve truly matured over the years." Seeing the situation turn in their favor, Kartis Sham felt elated. Although Kartis Van was disappointing, his eldest son Kartis Kian excelled in both strength and cunning.


    "A small trick, nothing more," Kartis Kian replied with a smile, nodding as he lazily reclined on his chair. By now, he thought, Blaze Regret must have already crumbled in the Thunder Abyss.


    "Perish in the Thunder Abyss." Kartis Kai, Kartis Ben, and others wore cold smiles. Even if they hadn''t killed Blaze Regret themselves, they were quite satisfied with this outcome.


    "Young Master..."


    A young man from the Kartis Family approached the bloodied Kartis Van, trying to help him up, but Kartis Van angrily shrugged him off, refusing the help. His eyes, cold and filled with madness, fixated on the ancient mirror.


    "Blaze Regret, I swear, if you don''t die, I will personally take your life!"


    A massive bolt of lightning tore through the slightly dim sky. The dark, oppressive thunder clouds seemed to be about to descend. Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, causing the few withered yellow branches in the Thunder Abyss to tremble violently.


    "Damn it!" Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire


    Standing in mid air, Blaze Regret looked at the scene in the mirror before him. His eyes, as dark as night, were filled with rising anger. His gaze slowly swept over, as if he wanted to remember every face of those gloating at him.


    At this moment, the people outside the ancient mirror could not see the scene within the Thunder Abyss. However, Blaze Regret could perceive the outside world, a complete reversal from before.


    "This is quite troublesome." S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Floating beside Blaze Regret, Master Magi sighed softly, "This ancient mirror can only be opened at specific times. If you want to go out again, I''m afraid you''ll have to wait three years."


    "Three years?" Blaze Regret''s face turned extremely grim. Not to mention three years, he couldn''t even stay for three months. This barren place was devoid of human habitation, and he couldn''t find even the most basic environment for cultivation.


    "Is there any other way?" Blaze Regret asked Master Magi unwillingly.


    "There is indeed a way."


    After a brief pause, Master Magi slowly nodded, "As long as you use the power that surpasses a fifth order King Realms spirit beast to strike the inner side of the mirror, you can temporarily create a spatial vortex to escape from here. Perhaps, I could give it a try."


    "This method won''t work."


    Without even thinking, Blaze Regret decisively rejected this proposal. Although they could leave, Master Magi would definitely be exposed to everyone''s view. At that time, the situation for both him and Master Magi would become extremely perilous.


    Even though he didn''t know the limits of Master Magi''s power, it probably wasn''t enough to contend with a Spirit King. Who knows if there are any reclusive old monsters hidden in Snow Storm City.


    "Boom!"


    As Blaze Regret furrowed his brows in thought, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly branched out in all directions, seemingly filling the entire sky.


    "That''s it."


    Suddenly enlightened, Blaze Regret quickly retrieved a pendant from the void realms stone, tearing away the excess parts until only a deep star dragon pearl lay quietly in his palm. "Master Magi, you mentioned that this thing can store an immense amount of energy, right?"


    Upon hearing this, Master Magi was initially taken aback but soon nodded with a smile, "Of course, not only can it absorb the lightning from this abyss, but it can also take in a thousand or even ten thousand times more energy. However, as its bearer, your body might endure immense pain."

 Chapter 406

    "No problem."Blaze Regret lightly licked his lips and looked up at the dark, oppressive sky, a mad smile appearing on his face, "If I can''t withstand a bit of pain now, how will I ever leave the Sun Moon Empire and see the outside world?"


    Seeing the smile on Blaze Regret''s face, a look of comfort flashed in Master Magi''s eyes. With a swift movement, he retreated a thousand feet, having already guessed what Blaze Regret was about to do. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire


    "Whoosh!"


    With a flap of his wings, Blaze Regret suddenly soared into the sky. The spiritual power within him surged rapidly into the Star Dragon Pearl, and instantly, strange patterns began to spread across the deep surface of the pearl.


    "Thunder, come!"


    With a low, fierce shout, Blaze Regret raised the Star Dragon Pearl high. The dark thunder clouds above contracted, and then bolts of lightning, filled with violent spiritual power, fell from the sky, converging toward the Star Dragon Pearl.


    From a distance, the dazzling lightning seemed to form a massive tornado, with Blaze Regret''s small figure at its base.


    "Spurt!"


    As his internal energy and blood surged tumultuously, Blaze Regret spat out a mouthful of blood. The hand holding the Star Dragon Pearl was also shaken, causing fine blood cracks to appear, yet his gaze remained unwaveringly determined.


    Meanwhile, the lightning from the surrounding cliffs crackled and surged, entering the Star Dragon Pearl. Even the thunder beasts exploded one by one, transforming into bright thunder soul pearls that floated in all directions.


    This scene continued for nearly half a quarter of an hour until the dark thunder clouds in the sky almost dissipated. Only then did Blaze Regret finally succumb, falling headlong from the sky.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a fierce flap of his wings, Blaze Regret barely managed to slow down his fall just before hitting the ground. He then stepped down, landing heavily on the earth, his body covered in blood and riddled with fine wounds everywhere.


    "It''s done."


    Looking at the deep Star Dragon Pearl with the faint glimmers of lightning inside, a relieved smile tugged painfully at the corners of Blaze Regret''s mouth. He could sense that if the spiritual energy within were to erupt, even some Spirit King Realm experts would have to avoid its edge.


    This was the thunder energy from the entire Thunder Abyss!


    "Collect!" Master Magi floated beside Blaze Regret, his sleeve flicked lightly as spiritual energy swept over, gathering the fist sized thunder soul pearls into a dazzling river of lightning swirling around Blaze Regret. Each pearl radiated abundant spiritual power.


    Thunder soul pearls are special spiritual objects that can accelerate the cultivation of lightning type spirit beasts, making them invaluable treasures for the Kartis Family.


    If not for the restriction that prevents anyone below the Spirit Imperial Master level from entering, the Kartis Family could potentially acquire large quantities of thunder soul pearls each year. With this cultivation tool, it wouldn''t be impossible for their overall strength to one day surpass the royal family.


    "The Kartis Family has certainly planned well. The thunder soul pearls gained from each trial must exceed the resources they distribute for cultivation," Blaze Regret thought to himself, cursing under his breath. The notion of recruiting talents seemed like a mere facade, with obtaining thunder soul pearls being the true purpose of each trial.


    "However, the Star Dragon Pearl''s absorption capability is too domineering. In the future, perhaps not even a trace of lightning will be born again in the Thunder Abyss," Master Magi chuckled.


    "That would be delightful. I wonder if Kartis Sham will be furious when he hears this news," Blaze Regret replied, grinning mischievously. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as his wings fluttered, and he dashed into the air.


    There, as the dark clouds parted, a spiritual light orb gradually became visible.


    "A page?"


    Grabbing the light orb in his hand, Blaze Regret descended to the ground, curiously observing the gently undulating golden page within the orb. Beside him, Master Magi''s mouth twitched with irritation.


    "This is simply unfair. Back in the day, I was minding my own business and got torn into several parts for no reason. If I could have beaten them..." Master Magi grumbled, lacking his usual calm demeanor.


    "Didn''t you sense it?" Blaze Regret asked with a peculiar expression, recalling how Master Magi had first detected the page in Hildan Town.


    "It was sealed," Master Magi replied, snatching the page and breathing slightly heavily. "This contains one of my spiritual techniques. Although refining it won''t boost our power, not even a Spirit King could catch up to us."


    "Master Magi, in the future, I''ll help you get your revenge," Blaze Regret said solemnly, his eyes darkening with determination.


    "Please don''t. That couple, each is more formidable than the other, and besides..." Master Magi''s voice gradually weakened, eventually falling silent as he swiftly retreated back into the void realms stone.

    With a resigned shrug, Blaze Regret gently caressed the Star Dragon Pearl, which flickered with lightning. He looked up at the enormous mirror in mid air, a cold smile slowly spreading across his face.


    "The Kartis Family, without you, life in Snow Storm City might be quite dull. Since you have initiated this war, the decision of when it ends is no longer in your hands."


    "Master Kartis, just waiting here like this isn''t a solution. What if that boy dies in the Thunder Abyss? Are we supposed to wait here forever?"


    On the plaza, the deep voice of Song Sha slowly broke the long standing silence.


    "What Master Song Sha says is true, Master Kartis. It''s better to distribute the trial rewards now."


    Hearing Song Sha speak, Wun Xiao also said hoarsely. They were here merely to use the trial as a pretext to send Song Fan and Wun Mon into the Kartis Family, thereby strengthening the relationship between the families. As for Blaze Regret, they didn''t really care much about him.

 Chapter 407 Shock

    Just a mere spiritual Imperial master, they thought. If they found the right opportunity, they could easily eliminate him without concern, unlike Kartis Sham, who had many reservations."That''s right."


    After a brief contemplation, Kartis Sham nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, a large cluster of spiritual light spheres floated into the air, each containing a different item.


    Looking at those light spheres, many young people in the area couldn''t help but swallow. A first class power is indeed a first class power; casually taking out some items was enough to drive many people mad.


    However, they all understood that the majority of these items would go to the top three, like Song Fan and Wun Mon, with only a few individuals able to exchange some with the Thunder Soul Beads.


    This could be seen as keeping resources within the family, as Song Fan and others would eventually become members of the Kartis Family. Because of this, Kartis Sham always appeared extraordinarily generous.


    "Song Fan, 321 Thunder Soul Beads; Wun Mon, 314 Thunder Soul Beads; Zul Yuan, 487 Thunder Soul Beads."


    As the counting concluded, Kartis Ben''s old voice echoed across the entire plaza. All eyes instantly focused on an inconspicuous figure, where a young man with his shirt covering his nose stood, that was Zul Yuan.


    "How could this be?" Song Fan looked incredulous. He always thought he was the leader, so where did this unremarkable Zul Yuan come from?


    Under the gaze of many, the young man named Zul Yuan remained indifferent, as if the attention was not directed at him at all.


    "A first tier spirit Lord master, huh?" Kartis Kian gently rubbed the rim of his teacup with his fingertips. It seemed that the greatest gain from entering the ancient land this time was this person.


    However, after just a glance at Zul Yuan, Kartis Kian withdrew his gaze. A first tier spirit Lord master was still far beneath him.


    "Now, each of you can choose ten items at will." Kartis Ben nodded with satisfaction, his voice carrying a hint of a smile resonating through the air.


    Just as Kartis Ben''s voice fell, a huge mirror suddenly exploded with a thunderous boom. Immediately following, a dazzling light shot out from it, crashing heavily onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    The violent thunderlight spread out along the deep pit, and in the center of that pit, a tall figure slowly straightened up. He glanced at Kartis Ben and then, with a slightly amused look, his gaze settled on Kartis Sham. "Uncle Kartis, shouldn''t you throw away this broken mirror? It seems to have constant issues."


    Seeing the suddenly appearing Blaze Regret, Kartis Sham was slightly startled but quickly forced a warm smile onto his face. "Nephew Blaze, I''ve been waiting for you. If you hadn''t come out, I was thinking of going in to find you." sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Really?" Blaze Regret smiled, showing no sign of anger. Although both of them harbored intentions of killing each other, completely tearing off the facade would not benefit him. After all, there was plenty of time in the future.


    Gazing at the smile on Blaze Regret''s face, Kartis Sham intertwined his fingers, his expression fluctuating between light and dark. If Blaze Regret had been the first to act, he would have had a reason to attack. However, this nonchalant attitude left him feeling like he was punching at air, extremely uncomfortable.


    "He actually held back." Stone Yee clicked his tongue lightly. Having witnessed the boy''s resolute methods before, he found it somewhat difficult to adapt.


    "Held back? Not necessarily."

    Mut Lin chuckled and shook his head. "You forget, when Blaze Ash first broke through to a spiritual King realms master, he received a palm strike from Zon Gang, the head of the Demon Water Mountain and a second tier spiritual King Realms master. It seemed fine at the time, but a month later, people from Demon Water Mountain were killed completely. Two years later, even Zon Gang died at Blaze Ash''s hands."


    Upon hearing this, Stone Yee shivered involuntarily. He suddenly remembered that the young man in the field was the descendant of that ruthless figure.


    "Now I finally understand why a group of old guys would go after such a minor spirit Imperial master. If allowed to grow, the events at Demon Water Mountain would likely replay themselves with them." Stone Yee sighed, while Gen Yun, standing beside Mut Lin, looked extremely grim.


    "Elder Kartis, these rewards are claimed based on rank, right?" Blaze Regret looked at Kartis Ben, his expression quite gentle.


    "The top three may each choose ten rewards. Of course, after entering the Kartis Family, those with higher ranks will enjoy more cultivation resources. As for the others, they can exchange one reward for every one hundred Thunder Soul Beads," Kartis Ben explained in a cold tone, suppressing his inner murderous intent.


    Hearing Kartis Ben''s explanation, Blaze Regret nodded slightly. It seemed that only the top three could really enjoy the benefits. The others would likely have to scrape together their resources to exchange for a few limited items.


    However...


    With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret lightly flicked an Void realms stone. Instantly, a wide, dazzling river of thunder flowed slowly across the sky, stretching for hundreds of meters.


    The thunder river was entirely composed of Thunder Soul Beads!


    As soon as the thunder river appeared, everyone''s eyes widened little by little. The sight of hundreds of thousands of Thunder Soul Beads piled together was simply overwhelming.


    "How could this be..."


    Even Kartis Sham was momentarily taken aback by the sheer number of Thunder Soul Beads, despite having refined countless beads over the years. At this moment, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of shock.


    "Did he move the entire Thunder Abyss here?" Kartis Van''s eye twitched slightly, and a trace of fervor rose on his face. Refining such a massive amount of Thunder Soul Beads could potentially allow even a Spirit King to make contact.

 Chapter 1 - 1: Flame Cat

    Regret winced as a sharp pang shot through his body, causing him to gasp for relief in the stillness of the room. Every twitch, every shift sent ripples of excruciating pain down his spine, creating a constant torment that seemed to have no end.


    Lying on the bed, he glanced over to see a small, flame cat nestled close by, its bright eyes peering at him in silent concern. With a soft, adorable yawn, the flame cat stirred, its flickering flames casting a warm glow in the dim room.


    Despite the agony coursing through him, Regret managed a weak smile as he reached out to stroke the cat''s fur gently, finding comfort in the familiar touch. This flame cat was none other than his loyal spirit beast, known as Flame Cat.


    In this realm of spiritual cultivation and mystical creatures, spirit masters and spirit beasts reigned supreme. As cultivators honed their spiritual powers to ascend the ranks, they forged unbreakable bonds with their spirit beasts upon awakening their first spiritual space.


    The hierarchy of spirit masters spanned from the novice spirit disciple to the formidable spirit lord, each level representing a pinnacle of power and expertise.


    Meanwhile, spirit beasts evolved alongside their masters, growing in strength from novice level to magistrate level, commander level, and ultimately, the revered lord level.


    In this world where wild beasts freely roamed the lands, only spirit masters possessed the rare qualification to tread upon the mainland, showcasing their prowess and courage amidst the dangers that lurked at every corner.


    As for the spirit lords, they are already the top powerhouses of a city, even in the city of Veloria where Regret is located, the number of spirit lords is rare as Phoenix.


    Jumping off the bed, Regret glanced at the scars on his arm, a cold light flashing in his eyes.


    Yesterday, during his spiritual awakening, the katis family from the imperial center city suddenly arrived at this place. The person they sent was a young man named katis Van, who, with a condescending tone, wanted the Blaze family to become a vassal of the katis family. Regret was furious and got into a dispute with him.


    As a result, his arm was severely injured by his Silver Thunder Wolf''s direct bite.


    "However, I, Regret, am not one to suffer losses easily. Katis van, three years from now is the day of the kartis family''s assessment, right? By then, I, Regret, will pay a visit for sure!" Regret took a deep breath, his eyes icy.


    Looking down, Regret gazed at the flame Cat trembling its ears lightly, feeling a bit troubled.


    Flame Cat, a low-level novice, with fire attribute.


    Even among novice, there are strong and weak spirit beast. Like his cousin Qistina''s Green Vine, a medium-level novice, seems to have much stronger talent than him.


    After yesterday''s spiritual awakening, in the hearts of the Blaze family members, Regret had already been labeled as a weakling, which made countless family members extremely disappointed in him.


    After all, he is the son of the head of the Blaze family Ash.


    "Even if it''s weak, it''s still my contracted spirit beast."


    With a hint of determination in his eyes, Regret quickly bandaged the wound on his arm, then gently touched the small head of the Flame Cat, which seemed to be enjoying the attention.


    Standing up, Regret fetched a wooden basin from the cabinet, filled it with water, placed it in the center of the table, and carefully poured a bottle of pale green liquid from his pocket into it, under the curious gaze of the Flame Cat, afraid of wasting a drop.


    This pale green liquid is called Spirit Condensing Liquid, which is very beneficial for the growth of spirit beasts, but it is outrageously expensive. It is said that this small bottle costs nearly fifty gold coins, and for Regret, fifty gold coins represent several years'' worth of pocket money.


    "Do not touch," Regret admonished the Flame Cat, who was trying to dip its paw into the basin.


    The medicinal properties of the Spirit Condensing Liquid are extremely potent. Before it is fully dissolved, it is far more danger than benefit for a first-order spirit beast like the Flame Cat can handle. A minor mishap could lead to the erosion of its medicinal properties.


    Whimpering and rubbing its small paws, the Flame Cat stared at Regret with a pitiful look, its big, watery eyes filled with grievances.


    "The Spirit Condensing Liquid is a rare treasure. Unfortunately, with so many people in the Blaze family, I could only get this one bottle."


    Stirring the liquid gently with a wooden stick, Regret sighed softly. The Blaze family always believed in hard work, and as the young master of the family, he was no exception. Before having his own source of income, he, like other young people in the Blaze family, could only receive two gold coins monthly from the elders.


    These two gold coins could cover several months'' worth of expenses for many ordinary family


    The Flame Cat propped up its upper body, with its two fiery red little paws resting on the edge of the wooden basin, greedily eyeing the gradually turning green liquid, constantly licking its lips.


    "Squeak!"


    Just as Regret was lost in thought, the wooden door of the room suddenly opened, and a figure swiftly entered. After ensuring nobody saw, the figure closed the door, swiftly approaching Regret.


    "Father, why are you here?" Regret questioned in confusion, observing the middle-aged man who had entered abruptly.


    Ash casually found a chair to sit on, lightly tapped the head of the Flame Cat, and said, "Just passing the time. I just wander around to see how you''re doing." The Flame Cat, annoyed by the sudden tap on its head, let out a soft sigh. Following that, a faint red spiritual energy emerged from its body, seemingly connecting with Ash''s spiritual portal. Regret''s eyes widened in surprise.


    Ash explained, "This is spiritual resonance a bridge for communication between spirit masters and spirit beasts. When forming contracts with new spirit beasts, this process is necessary, transferring their energy to the spirit master for future use."

 Chapter 2 - 2 Father love

    Looking at Regret, who was at a loss, Ash smiled faintly, waved his sleeve, and the Flame Spirit Lion, burning with flames all over its body, took a step out of the circular red spiritual portal and appeared on the ground.


    Shaking its majestic head, the Fire Spirit Lion lightly stepped with one front paw, and the intense flames surged, instantly melting the hard ground into a shallow pit.


    "Watch closely."


    Ash lazily raised his right hand, at the same time, several pure white strands of spiritual light swirled around his fingertips like swimming fish, exuding a pure aura.


    "This is a spiritual seal, the foundation of synchronizing spiritual power."


    Without many words, Ash flicked his fingers, and those swirling white strands of light dissipated, while the flames burning on the Fire Spirit Lion''s front paw instantly rose, the scorching temperature causing the shallow pit beneath to expand four to five times.


    "The spiritual technique that the Fire Spirit Lion comprehended at the second level, the Crazy Lion Claw, is the reason why Spirit Masters can accurately convey information to Spirit Beasts it relies on spiritual power synchronization. It may seem complex, but it all comes down to a single thought.


    The reason why the Flame Cat can receive my spiritual power is because your spiritual power has not yet assimilated with it. After you convert your spiritual power several times, my spiritual power won''t have any effect on it." Ash explained with a smile.


    "Ah, I see." Regret nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Ash with some suspicion. "Father, coming so late, you''re not just here to teach me this, are you?"


    Clearing his throat, Ash glanced out the window, then reached into his clothes and, finally, to Regret''s astonished gaze,Ash placed bottles of pale green liquid on the table in sequence.


    "Is this... Condensing Spirit Liquid?" Regret''s eyes widened abruptly, the drowsiness that had just surfaced instantly disappearing. Having just come into contact with the precious elixir, he could naturally recognize it clearly.


    "Yes, it''s indeed Spirit Condensation Liquid. These are the ones I''ve secretly kept... No, I mean, the ones I''ve collected." Ash coughed again, displaying a demeanor that bore no semblance of the head of family''s authority.


    Regret, tilting his head slightly, eyed his father with suspicion. As the head of the Blaze family, every word and action of his were scrutinized by the elders. With the family treasury not under his control, how could he have amassed so much Spirit Condensation Liquid worth hundreds of gold coins?


    The only explanation lay in the recent disappearance of six bottles from the warehouse, an incident that had earned him nearly half a month of scolding from Second Elder Peter. Little did he expect that the missing Spirit Condensation Liquid would end up in his father''s possession.


    "I only did it once!"


    As his son scrutinized him, Ash''s face flushed instantly, his neck veins bulging. "Moreover, Blaze family''s possessions are all mine. Even if I took everything, Second Elder would have no say in it!"


    Looking at his father''s frustrated appearance, Regret felt somewhat amused, while at the same time there was a warm feeling in his heart. His usually stern and impartial father was only so lacking in principles when it came to him.


    "Alright, alright, figure it out yourself. Oh, and this little Cat is not as simple as you think. Just use up all of this Condensing Spirit Liquid at once, there won''t be any major issues." His father waved his sleeves and hurriedly walked towards the door, with a sense of fleeing in a hurry.


    Shaking his head and smiling, Regret looked at the Condensing Spirit Liquid on the table, glanced at the impatient Flame Cat, and then gritted her teeth, pouring all the liquid into the water. Since his father said it was fine, then it must be fine.


    "Gurgle!"


    As the liquid poured in, the originally slightly green water suddenly began to violently ripple, a strong medicinal fragrance filling the entire room.


    "Splash!"


    The Flame Cat could no longer resist the temptation. With a swipe of its small paw, it sat directly in the basin, gulping down the medicine eagerly.


    "This is not for swallowing!" Regret was startled. Just as he was about to lift the Flame Cat out, a faint red light began to radiate from its body. As the Flame Cat swallowed the liquid, the red light became even more profound.


    "What extraordinary qualities does this Flame Cat possess..."


    Regret sat down slowly, squinting his eyes slightly. He had a secret known only to himself and his father. When he was six years old, his father had infused a dying flame into his unformed spiritual portal. From that day on, his spiritual power had been much stronger than an ordinary person''s, to the extent that it took two years before he began to sense his spiritual awareness.

    As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. The excessive strength of his spiritual power had made it far more challenging for Regret to open his spiritual portal compared to others, by more than just a few levels.


    "No matter what you are, even if you are just a useless spirit beast, you are still my Regret''s spirit beast. I will take you with me and together we will completely crush the pride of the Katis family." Regret gently stroked the raised tail of the Flame Cat, a rare fierce look in his eyes, not like a typical of a young man.


    He couldn''t forget how Katis Van had treated his father, with that condescending tone. Katis Van actually wanted his father, who always cared about his dignity, to bow his proud head in front of a younger generation and become a humble slave of the Katis family!


    "So, i Regret will shatter that hint of pride of yours!"


    As if sensing Regret''s determination, the Flame Cat, who was crazily drinking a potion, suddenly lifted its small head. In its eyes, resembling the night sky, there twinkled a glint of light.

 Chapter 3 - 3 Mutation

    The morning mist enveloped everything as they began to awaken.


    On the treetop in front of Regret''s house, a transparent dewdrop slowly traversed along the leaf veins, finally slid from the tip of the leaf and dripped into the eagerly awaited mouth of a water bug below.


    Inside the room, Regret rubbed his drowsy eyes, got out of bed, and was about to splash his somewhat dry face with clear water. Suddenly, the corner of his eye caught sight of a small Flame Cat sleeping soundly at the foot of the bed. His whole body froze, the clear water in his hand dripping through his fingers unnoticed.


    "No way!"


    Regret quickly walked up to the small Flame Cat, in disbelief he raised its paw. He saw the sharp claws on it were much sharper than yesterday, and the originally fiery red fur on its tail now had a dash of attractive white.


    "This... This is not a Flame Cat at all! This is a Scorching Flame Cat!"


    The Scorching Flame Cat, a high level novice class spirit beast!


    Staring at the slumbering Scorching Flame Cat, Regret''s hand couldn''t help but tremble slightly. This was a high level novice class spirit beast, after all something the entire younger generation of the Blaze family had never owned!


    "Could this little Flame Cat have mutated?"


    Regret took a sharp breath. Generally speaking, before breaking through, the grade of a spirit beast is fixed. However, there are exceptions. Some rare natural treasures growing deep in the mountains and forests, when consumed by spirit beasts, can have a chance to alter the spirit beast''s bloodline, thereby improving its grade, while its original appearance remains unchanged.


    But those chances are very slim. Most spirit beasts, even if they consume every fruit on a mountain, will not have any change in their bloodline, hence remaining novice class spirit beasts until they reach the tenth stage.


    Aside from that, there''s another, more direct method to improve their grade: mutation!


    A mutated spirit beast would not only have an elevated bloodline but would also undergo significant changes in its appearance.


    The probability of mutation is not higher than eating spiritual treasures, the entire Veloria City has not heard of any incidents of spiritual beast mutation in recent years!


    "Wu~"


    It seemed to be awakened by Regret''s vigorous movements, the Scorching Flame Cat rolled over lightly, then sat up straight with a pretty black pupil blinking.


    "Your level has actually reached the Second Rank?" Regret looked at the Scorching Flame Cat in pleasant surprise. Due to being too excited just now, he hadn''t noticed that the little Scorching Flame Cat''s level had been raised.


    During mutations, the level of spiritual beasts can also change.


    The intelligence of spiritual beasts is not much lower than that of humans. With a clear mind, the Scorching Flame Cat nodded towards Regret and then looked somewhat dejectedly at the empty wooden basin.


    The Soul Condensing Liquid has a very strong attraction for spiritual beasts below the magistrate level.


    "Such a hassle, gotta figure out a way to earn some coins."


    Regret rubbed his temples in distress. After eating some dry rations, he carried the Scorching Flame Cat perched on his shoulder and headed towards the door.


    Swish!


    Just as he stepped out, a jade green vine suddenly whipped towards them. The Scorching Flame Cat''s eyes narrowed, and its paws swiftly moved, cutting the vine into two pieces.


    The Scorching Flame Cat''s second tier mastered skill, Swift Claws!


    "Yi ya!"


    The painful groans came from the front, and the green vine was cut off and hanging in the air, trembling while staring at the Scorching Flame Cat on Regret''s shoulder with a fearful look.


    "Qistina, why is it you?" Regret looked at the girl at the door with a wry smile.


    Qistina, dressed in simple green clothes, with her long hair that was previously draped to her waist now tied up. Under the green hair that hung down her forehead, her watery big eyes were very attractive, but now they showed an extra touch of shock.


    "I just came to see you... cousin, your Scorching Flame Cat has actually reached the second rank?" Looking at the glaring Scorching Flame Cat, Qistina couldn''t help but be shocked, not realizing that the Scorching Flame Cat had already undergone a mutation.


    "Isn''t your green vine also at the second rank?" Regret picked up the piece of vine from the ground and handed it to the whimpering green vine. The latter did not hesitate, accepting it and pressing it at the broken part. The self-healing ability of wood-type spirit beasts was very strong. Such injuries could recover within a minute, with no lingering effects.


    "Last night, I spent most of the night in the back mountains, having Green Vine kill dozens of first order spiritual beasts to upgrade the Green Vine to second order," Qistina rubbed her slightly darkened eyes and said.


    To enhance the level of spiritual beasts, the fastest way is through battles, other than using items like Spirit Concentration Elixir.


    "No wonder," Regret nodded lightly, acknowledging not everyone was as fortunate as him to have a spiritual beast capable of mutation.


    "I fell tired after fighting last night, I need to rest well. Cousin, do you plan to accompany the elders in transporting goods or join Adam''s group for patrolling?" Qistina blinked her long lashes, suddenly asking.


    For young members of the Blaze family to earn gold coins, they must contribute, whether escorting goods or patrolling. After completing tasks, they receive a certain amount of gold coins, which is very safe since older Blaze family members will accompany them.


    His father once said that Blaze family members are not ones to live idly, so every spiritual practitioner in the Blaze family must has the ability to survive independently.


    "I want to go to the Blaze family''s territory to hunt and kill spirit beasts, to see if I can obtain some spirit cores," Regret said with a smile.


    Spirit cores are the core of each spirit beast, the most essential part. After consuming a spirit core of the same attribute, the spirit beast''s own spiritual power will be enhanced, which is a way to improve its own strength.


    Valuable items come with a price. These spirit cores are not cheap in the shops; typically, two first order spirit cores can be exchanged for one gold coin. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 4 - 4 First Battle

    "You want to go to the back mountain?" Qistina widened her eyes in surprise. The back mountain is a very dangerous place. Even at the outskirts, fifth order spirit beasts could appear. If it weren''t for Adam accompanying her last night, she wouldn''t even have the courage to go. And from Regret''s words, he clearly intended to go alone.


    The back mountain is Blaze family''s exclusive territory. Each family has specific boundaries, and if any other family dares to trespass, they will face severe retaliation.


    "Don''t worry, even if we can''t win the fight, we still have a good chance of survival."


    With a slight wave of the hand, Regret leisurely walked towards the Blaze family''s gate and in a few flashes disappeared from Qistina''s sight.


    "Forget it, we can''t argue with that guy. Let''s go rest. After waking up, we still have to follow the elder to escort the goods. The gold coins we earn should be enough to buy a bottle of Spirit Condensing Elixir."


    Qistina smiled lightly and turned towards her room, while the green vine swinging Vining Vine followed her carelessly, running unsteadily behind her, completely forgetting the pain from the vine breaking just now.


    In the back mountains, located in the southeast of the Blaze Family''s rear area, the ink colored mountains were layered one after another, seemingly spreading endlessly. Looking at them in the morning, the surface appeared as if draped with a light veil, faintly accompanied by the roaring sound of wild beasts.


    Referred to as the back mountains, it was actually just a general term. The peripheral area at the foot of the mountain also belonged to the back mountains. Several members of the Blaze Family were moving back and forth in the vicinity, each accompanied by a black panther.


    The Black Wind Panther, a medium ranked novice level spiritual beast.


    "Who goes there!"


    The leading young man, named Adam, suddenly turned cold, and the other men turned their heads fiercely. When they saw the newcomers clearly, they couldn''t help but be stunned.


    Adam was the captain of the Blaze Family''s guard team in the back mountains, a young man who already possessed a ninth ranked spiritual beast, showcasing remarkable strength.


    "Regret, why have you come?" Adam looked puzzled at Regret approaching, not addressing him as the young master like other family would, but calling him by name directly, which was closely related to Regret''s easygoing nature.


    "I came to hunt a few spirit beasts. Just ran short on gold coins," Regret replied with a smile.


    "But..." Adam hesitated, his face showing a dilemma. Despite missing the family gathering due to a task yesterday, he had heard about Regret awakening a useless spirit beast, making survival at the mountain''s edge uncertain. "If you need gold coins, I have three hundred here. Take them!" Adam''s face showed unwavering determination as he handed over a hefty money pouch.


    "Smack!"


    Feeling the weight of the pouch in his hand, Regret chuckled helplessly and pushed it back. "You underestimate me. Just strolling around the mountain, nothing to worry about."


    After speaking, Regret waved his hand and slowly walked towards the forest.


    "Captain, what should we do? Should we follow him?" A man who looked slightly older than Adam hurriedly asked as he watched the disappearing figure in front of him.


    "Let''s forget it. The young master has awakened a useless spirit beast. His mental state must be very fragile now. If we follow him, it will only hurt his self esteem," Adam shook his head with regret.


    "Yeah, but he''s really reckless," the man who spoke earlier also shook his head.


    "I hope he quickly hunts down a few first order low level spirit beasts and comes out soon. The wild spirit beast in the mountains behind is no joke."


    "I''ll inform the patriarch. Captain, you guys stay here for now."


    ...


    After walking a distance, the surrounding trees gradually increased. Regret wiped the sweat from his forehead and scanned the surroundings.


    "Hoo hoo~"


    On the mountain, trees were most abundant. Deeper in, visibility decreased, and the spirit beasts grew stronger. Occasionally, flying spirit beasts'' calls echoed from different directions.


    Perched on Regret''s shoulder, the petite Scorching Flame Cat was alert, ready to defend.


    "Right, I haven''t given you a formal name yet. Your fur is mostly red... Let''s call you Red ." Regret named the Scorching Flame Cat, nodding in satisfaction. Red grunted softly, ignoring Regret''s self indulgence.


    Although speaking, Regret did not forget to keep an eye on the surroundings. His nerves were constantly on edge. In the woods, a small mistake could mean not even realizing how one would die.


    "Go down. It''s time to sharpen your claws," Regret shrugged slightly, and Red on his shoulder reluctantly opened its eyes.


    "Swish!" S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as Red was about to jump off Regret''s shoulder, a chilling gust of wind suddenly attacked from behind. The black shadow''s claws were wrapped in a faint electric glow, directly aiming for the back of Regret''s head.


    The body of a spiritual practitioner was no match for the spiritual beast to fight one to one!


    "Dodge!"


    Regret shouted lowly. In an instant, he tilted his head, and the sharp claw wind grazed his face as it passed by. Meanwhile, Red agilely jumped up, its petite body swiftly spinning around, and the Cat claw fiercely struck down below.


    "Dong!"


    A muffled impact resounded as Red flew backward. Its small claws left several glaring marks on the ground before it stabilized its position. As for the dark shadow, it heavily crashed into a tree, then slid down the trunk, revealing itself to be a palm sized deep yellow old mouse.


    "It''s a third stage Thunder Rat!"


    Cold sweat instantly appeared on Regret''s forehead. Fortunately, his reaction was timely just now; otherwise, the back of his head would have been mostly empty now!


    Struggling to stand up, the Thunder Rat''s eyes gleamed blood-red, and threads of electricity once again enveloped its claws. Then, with a kick on the tree trunk, wood chips flew as it dashed toward the red flame like lightning.


    "It''s Thunderclap Claw, quickly dodge!" Regret urgently shouted, feeling the spiritual portal in his body starting to fluctuate slightly.


    The electrically charged claw tip rapidly enlarged in the pupils'' eyes. A hint of anger emerged in Red''s eyes towards the one who had just threatened both itself and Regret, clearly exuding a murderous intent.


    "Swoosh!"

 Chapter 5 - 5 Snow Condensing Grass 1

    Not avoiding the attack, the sharp nails of Red shot out, instantly turning into a red light, directly meeting it as clusters of fiery flames rose up on the sharp claws.


    "Hiss!" sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A sharp whistling sound echoed as two small spiritual beasts passed by each other. Red lightly landed on the ground, indifferently raised its Cat paw, the sharp nails retracting with a hiss, while the previously aggressive Thunder Mouse stiffened in place, and in the next moment, both its claws and head fell off, its body weakly collapsing to the ground.


    "Flame Claw?" Regret looked at Red in astonishment. Flame Claw was a skill usually understood by third order Scorching Flame Cats, yet Red was able to execute it at the second order, truly displaying extraordinary talent.


    Shaking its small head, Red leisurely walked to the dead Thunder Mouse, dug its claws in, and a thunder attribute core appeared in its paw. This was a third order Thunder type core, worth about three gold coins.


    Placing the core in front of Regret, Red sat halfway down, wagging its tail as if seeking praise.


    "Not bad."


    Smiling and patting Red''s head, Regret stuffed the thunder attribute spirit core into his clothes. Red couldn''t devour the thunder attribute spirit core, so it could only be sold for gold coins.


    Glancing into the distance, a fiery flame flickered in Regret''s eyes. Through the recent battle, he had roughly understood that the third order low level novice level spirit beasts were no match for Red. As long as he didn''t encounter spirit beasts of the fourth order or higher, he could roam freely around the outskirts of the mountain!


    In the quiet forest, a person and a Cat were walking slowly, with only the rustling sound echoing in the peaceful forest.


    On Regret''s shoulder, there was a substantial cloth bag. If someone were to open it and look inside, they would surely be surprised to find that it was filled with spirit cores emitting various colored lights!


    Such a quantity would be enough to make many spirit masters envious.


    However, at this moment, whether it was Regret''s clothes or the fur of Red, they were both stained with some blood. But from the parts that were stained, it was obvious that the blood did not come from them.


    "With so many spirit cores, I should be able to sell them for a good amount of gold coins."


    Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Regret''s face. Red, who was at the second rank, was considered an existence that could be easily preyed upon by many spirit beasts. This directly led to a continuous stream of spirit beasts coming from the shadows to attack. The pure spiritual power contained within the bodies of spirit masters was a rare delicacy for many spirit beasts.


    For those spirit beasts that wanted to bite their own necks, Regret did not show any mercy and had Red kill them all. While gaining a large number of spirit cores, Red''s strength also gradually showed signs of advancing towards the third rank.


    Suddenly, Regret''s steps abruptly stopped, and Red''s eyes narrowed. With both legs pushing off Regret''s shoulders, Red instantly dashed into a thicket of bushes.


    "Rustle!"


    A bush shook for a moment, and then Red walked out with a spirit beast in its mouth. It was a third order Snowflake Rabbit, completely snow white with fur as clean as dust, looking extremely beautiful. However, at this moment, it was trembling with fear, its black gem like eyes filled with dread.


    "Sigh." Regret waved his hand helplessly.


    The Snowflake Rabbit was quite timid, never having heard of any incidents of spiritual masters being attacked by it, making it one of the most gentle spirit beasts.


    Receiving Regret''s instructions, Red obediently nodded and gently placed the Snowflake Rabbit on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, the rabbit hurriedly turned around and disappeared in this area as if fleeing, leaving behind a faint trace of white snowflakes in its wake.


    Just as they were about to continue forward, Regret suddenly paused, as if he had remembered something, his breath becoming rapid.


    Snowflake Rabbits were a rare type of spirit beast, seldom seen by people. Regret had heard from his tribe that wherever Snowflake Rabbits were active, there was usually a kind of spirit herb called Snow Condensing Grass. This herb was quite rare, and even large commercial stores couldn''t find more than a few plants.


    Looking up slowly, Regret''s eyes lit up as he spotted a white spirit herb growing at the top of an ironwood tree. This herb consisted of three leaves, each surrounded by a thin mist ¨C it was indeed Snow Condensing Grass!


    "Red, go up and pick it." Regret''s face flushed with excitement. After ensuring there was no danger around, he quickly pointed to the top of the tree.


    Shaking off a few grass leaves stuck to its body, Red turned and climbed up the trunk. Within a few breaths, it reached the Snow Condensing Grass and gently scraped the stem with its claws, causing it to float down.


    With a smile, Regret caught the Snow Condensing Grass, feeling a sudden chill spreading through his palm and entire body.


    "This Snow Condensing Grass is quite valuable; the price of one is equivalent to dozens of fifth order spirit cores."


    The cold temperature made Regret shiver involuntarily. With a faint smile, he placed the Snow Condensation Grass on top of a pile of spirit cores. Just as he was about to return with Red, who had leaped down from the treetop, an angry beast roar suddenly came from deep within the forest, scaring countless birds into scattering.


    "Whoosh!"


    A rapid sound of something breaking through the air echoed through the forest. Then, a giant silhouette swung down from the sky on a thick vine, crashing heavily onto the ground. Amid the ensuing dust, and with the help of the faint light filtering through the trees, Regret finally got a clear look at the approaching creature.

 Chapter 6 - 6 Snow Condensing Grass 2

    "Snow Ape." He spoke the name with a slightly tense expression, and his heart sank instantly.


    The Snow Ape, an ice attribute spirit beast of the low level novice class, seemed to be around the fifth grade based on its size. Due to its physical advantage, the Snow Ape was extremely powerful, making it a particularly tough opponent among low level novice class spirit beasts.


    It was evident that this beast was here for the Snow Condensation Grass.


    The moment the Snow Ape appeared, Red''s body tensed up, its gaze fixed intently on the massive figure before it. Intense flames burned on its claws, scorching the ground upon contact.


    Taking a light breath, Regret''s eyes turned slightly sharp. Since Red wanted to fight, they had no choice but to take down this big guy!


    "Roar!"


    With a mighty roar, the Snow Ape charged at Red with earth-shaking steps. Its five fingers clenched tightly before it suddenly punched forward. The force of this dominant strike even caused the space ahead to emit several whistling sounds.


    Bending its hind legs slightly, it leapt high into the air. Red grabbed the snow ape''s arm, the body twisting in mid-air, landing steadily on the latter''s shoulder. Without hesitation, a claw swiped towards the snow ape''s eyes, but the snow ape''s reaction was extremely fast. Its head slightly turned, white fur fluttered, and its sturdy fist ruthlessly hit Red''s claws.


    "Wu!"


    Thrown backward, Red winced in pain, gasping a breath, feeling the looming shadow above. Quickly rolling on the ground, the snow ape''s fist heavily pounded where Red had been before, causing faint cracks to spread along the pit below the fist.


    "Red, move around behind the snow ape''s body and attack with Flame Claw!"


    Regret maintained his composure, quickly identifying the snow ape''s weakness. Although this spirit beast was powerful, its agility was pitifully low, unable to keep up with the nimble movements of Red.


    With a glint in its eyes, the crimson flame fiercely stomped the ground, gliding under the snow ape''s crotch. The sharp claws brought up a red glow, tearing the back of the snow ape''s heel, causing blood to flow profusely.


    Howling in pain, the snow ape instinctively turned to attack; the snowflakes swirling around its fist seemed to form a small vortex, creating a suction force that burst out.


    "Swoosh!"


    Rising upward, Red''s eyes flashed with cold light, enduring a punch from the snow ape. With blood spilling from its mouth, its sharp Cat claws drew a mysterious arc in the air and straightaway pierced into the snow ape''s throat.


    "Splurt!"


    Blood splattered everywhere.


    Staring blankly at Red flickering under its own throat, the snow ape''s already pale face suddenly turned incredibly pale.


    With indifferent eyes, it withdrew its sharp claws, and Red lightly leaped, landing on the snow ape''s soft fur in the moment it fell to the ground. The fresh blood overflowing from the corner of its mouth stained the snow ape''s pristine fur quite vividly.


    As a fire attribute spirit beast, a spirit beast with extremely restraining attributes, the second order Scorching flames Cat were able to defeat the fifth order snow ape not only due to its superior grade but also because of the restraint between attributes.


    Of course, even in death, the snow ape never expected Red to be so lunatic, willing to be heavily injured just to kill it.


    Tenderly cradling Red in his arms, Regret quickly took out a bottle of healing medicine from his clothes, sprinkling the medicine powder evenly over its body. This kind of healing medicine was a specialty of the Blaze family, capable of quickly restoring a spirit beast''s injuries.


    Comfortably lying in Regret''s arms, the petite body of Red suddenly emitted a faint fiery red glow, like a beautiful halo of light.


    "It broke through to the third rank!" S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Regret breathed a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face. After a day of training, Red finally broke through the constraints of the second rank and entered the realm of the third rank.


    After breaking through, Red'' wounds had mostly healed. It jumped up from Regret''s arms, It little claws resting on the latter''s shoulder, wobbling unsteadily, before finally flipping over and sitting on Regret''s shoulder.


    By this time, dusk had arrived, and the light in the forest had noticeably dimmed. Experienced spiritual masters knew that the nights in each mountain range were extremely terrifying; the dangers hidden during the day would begin to emerge one by one.


    After sweeping the large cloth bag behind him, Regret felt a slight headache. With so many spirit cores, carrying them back like this would be exhausting, he reckoned he might just collapse from fatigue.


    Shaking his head, Regret brushed off those thoughts from his mind and quickly walked towards the edge of the forest. He was quite pleased in his heart, as today was indeed a big harvest. The gold coins he received could at least ensure he wouldn''t have to worry about Spirit Condensing Liquid for some time


    "Captain, it''s already so late, why hasn''t young master come out yet? Could something have happened to him?" On the outskirts of the back mountain, a member of the Blaze family looked anxiously at the mountains that stretched like ink.


    "Sigh, I have no idea what the clan leader is thinking. When I informed him, he just nodded and asked me to come back." Another person said disappointedly. Although the outskirts of the back mountain are not particularly dangerous for them, it is undoubtedly deadly for a newly awakened spiritual disciple, especially considering that Regret awakened a useless spirit beast with no combat capability!


    "No, it''s getting darker. Mark, bring your Great tailed Dark Bat with me, the rest of you stay here and guard!" After a moment of contemplation, Adam''s patience had reached its limit. Although leaving post without permission violated the family''s rules, compared to Regret''s safety, it was just a minor punishment that we will received from the family.

 Chapter 7 - 7 Warning

    Saying that, Adam was about to enter the back mountain with a member of the Blaze family, but as they took their first step, Adam saw a slightly thin figure carrying a large cloth bag slowly approaching them.


    "Regret?" Adam raised his eyebrows in surprise.


    "What, you already don''t recognize me after just a short time?" Regret chuckled, flicked his arm lightly, and the heavy cloth bag landed with a thud on the ground, kicking up dust.


    "Regret, you''re... fine?" A young man named ken looked at the teenager in front of him with a puzzled expression.


    He thought that when he saw Regret again, the latter would at least be in a sorry state, but now, apart from some slightly torn clothes, he looked surprisingly clean.


    "What could possibly happen to me?" Regret smiled, glanced at the spirit beast crouching on ken''s shoulder, the Great Tailed Black Bat, a medium novice level spirit beast estimated to be around the Seventh Rank. He remembered that ken''s previous spirit beast was of a lower grade, so there must have been something happen that led to his contract with the Great Tailed Black Bat.


    Apart from the contracted spirit beast, the only way to tame more spirit beasts was through such contracts. When a Spirit novice advances to a Spirit warrior, another spiritual space will emerge within the body. To get new spirit beasts, one must form a contract.


    The contract between a Spirit Master and a spirit beast is also known as a spirit contract.


    "It''s good that you''re fine." Ken breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that Regret was intact.


    "By the way, what''s in this big bag? Could it be some kind of medicinal herb?" Adam looked at the slightly deformed cloth bag on the ground filled with items, sounding somewhat curious.


    "Ding!"


    While speaking, a worn out part of the cloth bag suddenly protruded a fifth rank spirit core, dropping crisply amid shocked gazes. This fifth rank spirit core was the one Regret tossed in after killing the snow ape.


    "This... a fifth rank spirit core?" Adam''s voice abruptly stopped as he saw the bag collapse softly, scattering numerous shiny spirit cores on the ground. Adam and the Blaze family members were stunned by the sight of the pile of spirit cores, as silence fell over the Blaze family territory. After a moment, Adam and the others regained their senses, staring incredulously at Regret.


    "Did you strike it rich?" Adam blurted out nervously,he unable to collect as many spirit cores in a day, some were even third or fourth rank, including a fifth rank. He was inclined to believe Regret stumbled upon a buried treasure from a spirit master.


    Though not rare to fifth rank cores, considering Regret only awakened his spirit yesterday , also a Flame Cat whose abilities initially lagged even low rank spirit beasts more stood out than it. Feeling slighted, Red tugged at Regret''s hair, prompting Adam to notice the difference.


    "That''s not right, this isn''t a Flame Cat. It looks like... like a scorching Flame Cat!" Adam''s excited voice trailed off, and he even felt somewhat ridiculous himself. The Scorching Flame Cat was a high ranking novice level spirit beast and extremely rare. He had only ever heard of it but never actually seen one before.


    "If I''m not mistaken, it really does seem like a Scorching Flame Cat," Regret said with a faint smile. Without revealing the truth, it seemed like there would be no legitimate explanation for the source of these spirit cores today.


    With Regret''s confirmation, several members of the Blaze family felt a bit dizzy. A high ranking novice level spirit beast was still a distant existence for them, yet Regret, who had just awakened his spiritual senses yesterday, already possessed one!


    "Ken, go get another sack. Make sure it''s the sturdiest one!" Adam, worthy of a captain, quickly recovered from the shock, forced a wry smile, and waved at the near dazed Ken.


    Ken , with a peculiar expression, glanced at Regret, then stiffly fetched a sturdy sack from a pile of miscellaneous items. He began collecting the scattered spirit cores from the ground one by one.


    Regret''s lips moved as he intended to share some of the spirit cores with Adam and others, but thinking about the strength of their spirit beasts, he gave up on the idea. Even a fifth tier spirit core would be of little use to their spirit beasts.


    "Regret, do not reveal that you have a high ranking novice level spirit beast," Adam said sternly. The city of Veloria wasn''t solely dominated by the Blaze family; family like the Snow, Sky, and Met also had considerable power, not inferior to the Blaze family. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Among these, there was a particularly unique force: the Angsana Pavilion. Every spiritual practitioner in Veloria City knew that the Angsana Pavilion was a neutral organization, present in every corner of the town. Aside from making money, they did not engage in ordinary disputes or battles.


    The Blaze, Snow, Sky, and Met families frequently interacted with each other. However, the interactions between the Blaze and Snow families were not particularly friendly. From Regret''s earliest memories, the Blaze and Snow families had been engaged in both open and covert conflicts.


    If someone from the Snow family learned that Regret owned a high ranking novice level spirit beast while still a spiritual novice, they would undoubtedly be on edge.


    The only way to eliminate this unease is to find an opportunity to get rid of Regret and kill off the Scorching Flame Cat!


    So, Adam attached great importance to this matter.


    "Don''t worry, I''m not a child anymore. Except at the Blaze family, I won''t show the Scorching Flame Cat to anyone else." Regret picked up the cloth bag from the ground and slung it over his shoulder, rejecting Adam and the others'' offer to escort him. He lazily waved his hand, and with the excited Red beside him, he leisurely walked towards the Blaze family.

 Chapter 8 - 8 Purple Demon Tree Fruit

    "Captain, do you think the clan leader replaced Regret''s spirit beast?" Ken still couldn''t believe it.


    "You fool!" Adam chuckled and scolded, "Do you think a newly awakened spirit master can withstand the spiritual power resonance of a high level novice class spirit beast? It''s a miracle the spirit portal didn''t burst!"


    "But this is still unbelievable," Kena grumbled in frustration.


    "Anyway, today''s matter is not to be mentioned again. Get to work quickly and watch out for spirit beasts running out from the back mountain."


    "Yes!"


    As night fell, within the depths of the mountains, the roars of several spirit beasts faded away. The edge of the back mountain regained its calm once more.


    Carrying a large sack that seemed completely mismatched with his own stature, Regret strolled leisurely down the street. Various curious gazes were irresistibly drawn towards him, but thankfully the spirit master in this area were aware of his identity as the young master of the Blaze family. Despite their curiosity, no one dared to approach him.


    "Did you hear? The young master of the Blaze family awakened his spirit power yesterday."


    "We''ve known for a while now. The news has been spreading like wildfire in veloria City. Turns out the spirit beasts awakened by the young master is a waste spirit beast. What a pity, wasting so many resources of the Blaze family."


    "Be careful! You might get into trouble if the people from the Blaze family hear you!"


    The person who spoke earlier felt the surrounding stares, and his scalp tingled. After nervously glancing at Regret from the corner of his eye and realizing that Regret hadn''t turned around, he let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with trembling hands.


    The onlookers unconsciously moved a bit further away, fearing to get involved in the situation.


    With a profound spiritual power stronger than that of ordinary spirit master, Regret naturally heard these words clearly. However, his calm eyes, as dark as the night, remained unperturbed by the opinions of others, except for those of his own kin.


    Just as his right foot was about to step through the gate, Regret''s eyes slightly narrowed. In front of him, a plain looking elderly man in a white robe was evaluating him up and down with a sly gaze. When his gaze fell on the Red on Regret''s shoulder, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.


    "Poor Ash, his son turned out to be such a useless thing. Tragic and laughable."


    Shaking his head and sneering, the old man flicked his sleeves, turned around, took a few steps and walked away, disappearing from Regret''s sight in a few moments.


    Red rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned over and went back to sleep. The fire red tail wrapped around Regret''s neck, and the faint white fur was perfectly concealed.


    "Second Elder, who was that person?" A man next to him walked over, it was Peter who presided over the spiritual awakening yesterday. Regret respectfully bowed and then asked.


    "Oh, that old guy." Peter shrugged, sounding a bit impatient. "Just a lackey from central city that stay at the Blaze family this morning, this old guy followed closely behind. I told Ash to drive him away, but for some reason, Ash decided to let him stay."


    Upon hearing this, Regret''s mouth twitched. If anyone in the Blaze family lacked the demeanor of an elder, it was undoubtedly the Peter standing beside him, repeatedly calling the old man. It seemed like he was even older than the previous elder...


    Moreover, within the entire Blaze family, this was the only person who dared to insult Ash. Even the Grand Elder didn''t talk in such a disrespectful manner.


    "By the way, that old guy seems to be called Sivan. If my guess is correct, he was sent by Kartis to monitor you, especially after you hinted at something yesterday. Although the chance of it being true is practically zero, it''s better to be safe, isn''t it?" Peter shrugged and said.


    Listening to this blunt comment, Regret gave Peter a silent glare. This Second Elder was good in many ways, except for being a bit inconsiderate of others'' feelings.


    "By the way, what happened to your clothes? They are quite damaged. Were you bullied by someone?" Peter''s voice abruptly rose several levels, a hint of killing intent swirling in his eyes.


    "It''s nothing, I just went out for a while." Regret smiled and shrugged his shoulders, not planning to reveal too much to the Second Elder because he wasn''t sure if Sivan could hear them.


    "Hmph, in the entire Veloria City, the only one daring to bully me, the young master of the Blaze family, is that brat from the Snow family. Take this, if he dares to pick on you, use this to teach him a lesson!" After looking around discreetly, Peter quietly tucked an item into Regret''s clothes, then nonchalantly left the place with a few members of the Blaze family.


    Feeling curious, Regret took advantage of others'' inattention, opened his clothes, and took a peek. His eyes instantly brightened it was a green fruit with slightly deep patterns crisscrossing its surface, emitting a faint spiritual power fluctuation.


    "The Purple Demon Tree Fruit?" Regret marveled to himself.


    The Purple Demon Tree Fruit grows on the Lord level spiritual beast, the Purple Demon Tree. Each tree can grow a maximum of three fruits, and when faced with danger, the tree will throw these fruits to explode, severely injuring enemies. Even Spiritual Monarch level spiritual beasts would be blown to pieces, let alone novice level beasts.


    This fruit is extremely rare; not even the Angsana Pavilion could find more than a few, and it''s unknown where Peter managed to get it from.


    Licking his lips, Regret strode into the room and threw the thick bag onto the ground before falling asleep, with Red squirming its petite body, slipping into Regret''s embrace comfortably for a sweet slumber.

    For Regret, who had just become a Spiritual novice, a day of battle full of intensis, with spiritual exhaustion no less than directly fighting a spiritual beast.

 Chapter 9 - 9 Snow Feng 1

    As the Silver Moon slowly climbed the dark sky, as if carried by an invisible hand, some spiritual beasts that wouldn''t appear during the day began to gradually stir in the courtyard in front of Regret''s room.


    "Woo~"


    Morning soon arrived, the Red yawned comfortably, then habitually rolled to its side, but plop!, it hit the bed with a thud. Rubbing its little head, the drowsiness it felt instantly dissipated.


    Sitting at the table and enjoying his meal, Regret couldn''t help but smile as he watched the scene. Red grunted, then leaped onto the table and carefully tore into a skewer of meat, glancing at the fur on his chest after each bite, afraid of getting any grease on it.


    Regret smacked his lips. Spirit beasts like the Scorching Flame Cat were known for being proud and delicate creatures in the spirit beast world, making them difficult to handle. It was hard to imagine that the proud Red had just yesterday unhesitatingly thrust its claws into the throat of a Snow Ape.


    After finishing his meal and carrying a bag filled with spirit cores on his back, accompanied by the Red wrapped around his neck, Regret stepped out of the Blaze family gate.


    The Blaze family also had a market in Veloria City, but the shops there mainly dealt with spirit beasts. Whether it was a spiritual novice whose primary spirit beast died in battle or a spiritual warrior looking to form a second spiritual contract, it was often difficult for them to find their desired spirit beast in a short period.


    The Blaze family market was their best choice, as the spirit beasts there were never in short supply due to their backing by the mountains.


    As Regret walked slowly along the street, it was no surprise that many spiritual masters, upon seeing him, displayed strange expressions on their faces. Although the disrespectful types from the day had disappeared, the sympathetic looks on their faces were just as embarrassing, if not more so, than mocking remarks.


    "Atlas Store."


    It wasn''t until Regret reached a large store that he finally stopped. The Atlas Store was part of the Angsana Pavilion''s influence, one of the few larger stores in Veloria City under the Angsana Pavilion''s name. The trading prices were fair, and there had never been any reports of customer exploitation.


    However, in Veloria City, the Angsana Pavilion''s influence was stronger than the four major families. It was precisely because of this that the four major families tacitly agreed to the Angsana Pavilion''s development in Veloria City.


    "Atlas Store, my road to success in the days to come will rely on you." Muttering softly to himself, Regret shook the bag on his shoulder, which was about to slip off, and headed towards the gate of the Atlas Store.


    Atlas Shop, although it looks like an ordinary shop on the surface, as soon as Regret stepped inside, he was taken aback. At the forefront was a dark blue counter, behind which sat a slightly chubby middle aged man, idly tapping on a shiny gold coin, his eyes lazy.


    What shocked Regret even more was the scene behind the counter, a screen seemed to separate two worlds. Behind that screen, countless stalls were neatly arranged, displaying all kinds of medicinal herbs, elixirs, and spirit cores. Figures moved back and forth at the stalls, creating a lively and noisy atmosphere echoing through the spacious shop.


    "This scale is quite impressive." Regret marveled silently. If a Atlas Shop was like this, he could hardly imagine what the most prosperous Angsana Pavilion in Veloria City would be like.


    The middle aged man lifted his head, looking at Regret who entered carrying a large cloth bag. His gaze flickered slightly, and he couldn''t help but sense the surging energy within the bag, despite its barrier against spiritual energy.


    "Hello, I''m the shopkeeper here, Mark. What can I help you with?" His sleeve brushed past as the shiny gold coin disappeared into the counter. A professional smile appeared on the middle aged man''s face, and his tone was very courteous.


    "Oh, who do we have here? Isn''t this Young Master Blaze Regret from the Blaze family?"


    Before Regret could respond, a sharp mocking voice suddenly sounded from behind. Passersby who were nearby couldn''t help casting a glance at Regret. The distance between the Atlas Shop and the Blaze family was not short, and there were many people here who didn''t know him.


    "Snow Feng." Upon hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Regret''s brow furrowed imperceptibly. This Feng was the little troublemaker from the Snow family that Peter mentioned. He was very arrogant, and due to the relationship between the Blaze and Snow family, he often opposed Regret.


    The sound of footsteps grew clearer, and Feng stood imposingly in front of Regret. He had a quite handsome face, but the faint smile at the corner of his mouth revealed a hint of provocation and pride.


    Behind Feng, a centipede with an unknown number of legs was rubbing against the floor, making a hissing sound that felt like scratching at one''s heart, causing a tingling sensation all over the body.


    Centipede, a mid level novice level spiritual beast.


    "Fourth rank."


    Based on the patterns on the centipede''s shell, Regret easily judged the strength of Feng''s spiritual beast.


    "Oh, this is the legendary beast,Flame Cat. Seeing is believing. It''s really powerful. Look at my centipede, all trembling in fear." Glancing at the Red hanging around Regret''s neck, Feng''s mocking tone grew stronger. When he heard that Regret''s spiritual beast was a Flame Cat, he almost laughed out loud.


    If there was someone against whom he had the most difficulty in Veloria City, it was undoubtedly Regret.


    Regret withdrew his gaze calmly, ignoring Feng''s provocations.


    The status of the young master of the Blaze family and the young master of the Snow family in Veloria City goes without saying. In the moment they made contact, most of the eyes in the Atlas Shop turned to them. When Regret remained silent despite the provocation, many people shook their heads. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Ash had been dominant in Veloria City for more than a decade, and not even the Snow family dared to underestimate him. It was unexpected that in the end, it was the issue of his offspring that he lost on.

 Chapter 10 - 10 Snow Feng 2

    Being ignored by Regret, Feng also felt a bit bored. But when he saw the big bag behind Regret, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Regret, what''s in that ragged bag of yours? I know you''re feeling down after being ruined, but you can''t be so despondent as to pick up trash. You''ve really disgraced the Blaze family''s reputation!"


    Finishing his words, Feng shook his head with a sigh, as if he sympathized with Regret''s situation. Then, he patted his clothes, took out several spiritual cores wrapped in spiritual energy, and placed them on the counter.


    "Hiss, three fourth rank spiritual cores, and six third rank spiritual cores?"


    Many spirit masters took a sharp breath. Feng''s Centipede is a Tier 4 spiritual beast, and the fact that it managed to kill three spiritual beasts of the same rank indicates its considerable strength. Indeed, the young master of the Snow family is no ordinary person.


    "These spirit cores are just something I casually collected during my training. Alas, it''s a pity. You won''t have any chance for such training if you don''t discard that Flame Cat," Fang said with a tone of mock pity as he taunted Regret, spinning three Tier 4 spirit cores in his hand without any attempt to mask his derision.


    "Three Tier 4 spirit cores, six Tier 3 spirit cores, for a total of twenty-one gold coins," Mark said flatly, then pulled out a small handful of gold coins from a drawer, placing them on the counter. With a gentle wave of his hand, the spirit cores, still slightly warm from Feng''s touch, neatly fell into various jade boxes.


    The spiritual energy contained within a spirit core diminishes over time. These jade boxes could securely lock in the spiritual energy of the cores to prevent leakage.


    "As a token of our past friendship, and considering you won''t be able to compete with me in the future, I''ll give you this gold coin," Feng said, patting Regret on the shoulder and provocatively tossing a gold coin in front of him.


    "Clang!"


    Just as Feng moved his hand, Regret''s arm moved subtly, and the pouch filled with spirit cores landed heavily on the counter with such force that it made Feng involuntarily shiver. The coin fell to the ground, rolling away with a tinkling sound.


    "What are you doing?" Feng began to outburst, but the words caught in his throat. His eyes widened in shock, and his open-mouthed expression looked particularly ridiculous.


    The spirit cores spread out on the counter like a small mountain. At that moment, the bustling noise in the shop seemed to dissipate entirely. Everyone stared in a daze at the shimmering spirit cores, as if those cores were the entire world.


    "Boss, give me an estimate," Regret said with a faint smile as he gently stroked the head of Red.


    "Th..this is impossible!" Feng''s face turned as red as a pig''s liver, and his voice sounded slightly rushed.


    "Regret, you collected spirit cores for so long just to mess with me, didn''t you? You really put in a lot of effort just to embarrass me," Feng sneered as he finally found a reason he could believe.


    "Judging by the spiritual power fluctuations inside these spirit cores, they were all obtained just yesterday. They also bear a faint, restrained flame aura, along with slight claw marks on the surface. If I''m not mistaken, these were all hunted by your spirit beast, weren''t they?" Mark''s eyes finally showed a hint of surprise as he analyzed, looking at the flame red beast around Regret''s neck.


    "Senior Mark, you have a keen eye. I truly admire you," Regret responded with a smile and a respectful salute. With Regret''s confirmation, the surroundings immediately became noisy, and voices filled with disbelief erupted everywhere. The eyes that looked at Regret became complicated, no longer showing the previous disdain.


    Feng''s eyelid twitched, and an endless fury erupted in his eyes. The multi legged centipede at his feet suddenly reared up its hideous body, poised with legs moving quickly, ready to tear Regret apart at any moment.


    "Thinking of making a move?" Regret couldn''t help but laugh.


    Fighting in the Atlas shop was akin to seeking death. Even without him taking action, someone would come and throw Feng out. They wouldn''t care about Feng''s status as the young master of the Snow family.


    "You''ve got guts. Next time we meet, you won''t be so lucky." S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suppressing the anger in his heart, Feng let out a cold snort, turned around, and pushed through the layers of people around him. The strange looks he received made him feel like he was being pricked by a thousand needles.


    "Your coin!" Regret picked up the coin that had fallen to the ground, smiled, and threw it towards Feng.


    The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and in Feng''s eyes, a coldness surged up. "Daring to make me lose face in front of many people, you useless fool, better not give me a chance to catch you, or you''ll regret it!"


    "Everyone, blocking the entrance of Atlas Shop, my small business can''t afford this loss."


    Mark chuckled, and the onlookers, after a polite gesture, quickly dispersed. Despite Mark appearing to be just a shopkeeper, with Atlas shop backing him, even the usually arrogant Feng dared not cause trouble here, let alone them.


    "Please wait a moment, sir. Due to the abundance of spirit cores you have, I need some time." Mark smiled and gestured, prompting a waiter to quickly bring a chair from behind the counter and place it respectfully behind Regret.


    "Thank you." Nodding, Regret pulled the chair and sat down without hesitation, watching as Mark carefully sorted the spirit cores.


    Mark ''s skills as the manager of the Atlas Shop were indeed impressive. Since Regret entered the shop, his demeanor and actions subtly sparked a favorable impression.


    "Mr. Regret, here are one fifth grade spirit core, thirty four fourth grade spirit cores, one hundred seventy two third-grade spirit cores, in addition to first and second grade spirit cores, totaling four hundred and nine gold coins."

 Chapter 11 - 11 Pet Encyclopedia

    As Mark finished speaking, he couldn''t help but hum lightly to himself. Four hundred and nine gold coins was no small amount for him. It was difficult to imagine how the young man in front of him managed to obtain so many spirit cores.


    "So many..." Regret''s expression remained unchanged on the surface, but he was inwardly surprised. Then, a hint of worry clouded his face. Four hundred gold coins? Did he have to carry such a large bag of gold coins around the streets? sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sensing Regret''s concern, Mark pondered for a moment. He then waved at a waiter, and soon, a light green card was carefully handed to Regret.


    "What is this?" Regret looked puzzled at Mark.


    With a faint smile, Mark explained, "This is a gold coin card. The gold coins you earned from trading the spirit cores has been fully stored in it."


    Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment briefly crossed Regret''s face. He was familiar with gold coin cards but had never seen one before. Owning a gold coin card was a symbol of status and identity, and due to its quality, the price of such a card was not cheap. A small card like this would cost nearly three hundred gold coins, and ordinary spirit masters couldn''t afford to buy such a thing.


    "Thank you, Shop manager Mark." Regret was not sentimental and directly placed the gold coin card in his clothes. The assistant beside him, however, showed a slight hint of excitement. It was clear that Mark was trying to win over Regret.


    Setting aside Regret''s identity, just the fact that he harvested so many spirit cores in one day which including a third rank spirit beast, fourth and fifth ranks spirit core, is enough to demonstrate Regret''s potential. Anyone calling the young man in front of them trash must be a fool.


    In the entire Veloria City, there were very few individuals who could catch Mark''s attention. Now, even a lowly spirit disciple was being treated with such respect. Even the assistant who had been working at the Atlas Store since birth couldn''t help but feel jealous.


    After bowing to Mark, Regret walked towards the screen with a bit of excitement in his heart, carrying Red. Behind the screen was the most fascinating part of the Atlas Store.


    "Ash Blaze''s son, Ash, Ash." Mark sat back in his chair, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light, seemingly lost in a memory.


    As soon as Regret passed the screen, the voices around him grew louder. Calls for buying and bargaining prices filled his ears. Regret looked strangely at the screen; he hadn''t expected the inconspicuous thing to have soundproofing capabilities.


    Walking through the store, surrounded by a bustling crowd, Regret couldn''t help but feel emotional. No wonder even his father said the wealth of the Angsana Pavilion was unimaginable. Just in the Atlas Store alone, the daily trade volume was no less than that of the Blaze family''s market. After all, the demand for spirit beasts was far less than that for spirit cores and spirit condensing fluids.


    Aside from the store''s assistants, there were many outside vendors in the Atlas Store. Most of the booths in the Atlas Store were rental based; as long as one paid a certain amount of gold coins, anyone could set up a booth there without worrying about unruly customers causing trouble. Those who acted recklessly here would surely pay an unforgettable price.


    Gazing quickly around the various stalls, Regret soon found his target: a stall selling a large quantity of spirit condensing fluids. Red had just broken through to the third level, so the need for spirit condensing fluid was urgent. Only by stabilizing his spiritual power could Red breakthrough to the fourth level soon.


    Although Red''s strength had improved, the demand for spirit condensing fluid wasn''t as terrifying as it was in the beginning. Just a few small bottles were enough to fully stabilize it spiritual power.


    Slightly feeling sore, Regret handed out three hundred gold coins and carefully received six bottles of Condensing Spirit Liquid, then placed them in a jade box given by Mark. The reason Mark give him the box, because that next time Regret sells Spirit Core, it can ensure the purity of the Spirit Core.


    Moving his little nose, Red excitedly swept the jade box with his tail. If it weren''t for Regret''s intervention, Red might have publicly swallowed a few bottles.


    With the mission accomplished, Regret felt much more at ease. Slowly entering the inner layer of the Atlas Shop, the deeper one went, the more precious the items sold were. Therefore, those who could afford to consume here were often powerful spirit masters and wealthy youths, with much fewer people than the outer layer.


    Looking at a prodigal buying items recklessly, Regret shook his head. Young people from the four major families would never do such things, even Feng wouldn''t. The hardships they endured were far greater than those prodigals.


    Passing several stalls, Regret''s scanning gaze suddenly focused on a fiery red spiritual plant. He instantly recognized its origin, Flame Spirit Grass, a top grade spiritual plant with significant benefits for the cultivation of fire based spiritual beasts, enhancing their strength in a short time, albeit rarer than Snow Condensation Grass.


    "Young master has a keen eye. This Flame Spirit Grass took me a great effort to find on a mountain cliff. My spiritual beasts suffered heavy injuries to collect this spiritual plant!" Seeing Regret''s interest, the lean stall owner immediately perked up and smilingly tried to please Regret.


    "Name your price." Regret casually said, and as his gaze continued to move over the stall, his eyelids suddenly twitched. He asked, "Wait, what is this?"


    Regret was referring to a very old looking book, but the two large words on the cover were exceptionally clear: Pet Encyclopedia.


    "Oh, this thing, I found it in a cave. It contains records of various spiritual beasts. If you want it, let''s say five hundred gold coins." The lean stall owner''s smile looked sincere but also revealed some hard to hide craftiness.

 Chapter 12 - 12 Spirit Crystal

    "Five hundred gold coins, do you want to grab it?" Regret was startled. Usually, books recording spirit beasts only cost a few coins, but the one on the stall was much thicker than any he had seen before.


    "Don''t rush, young master. This beast record is not that simple. Besides spirit beasts, it also contains the spirit skills they can master. In the entire Veloria City, there might be only this one." The lean stall owner continued to enthusiastically introduce. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Too expensive, two hundred," Regret said decisively after hesitating for a moment. Two hundred gold coins were almost all his savings.


    "No way, five hundred," the stall owner said firmly, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.


    Rubbing his forehead in frustration, Regret steeled himself and took out a small box from his inner clothing, tossing it to the stall owner. "I''ll trade this spiritual herb for your Flame Spirit Grass and Pet Tome."


    "Young Master Blaze, please don''t joke with me. It''s just a spiritual herb, how could it possibly..." The lean stall owner''s complaints came to an abrupt halt as, with the opening of the small box, a chilling aura slowly permeated the air, even causing a thin layer of frost to form on his palm.


    "This is... Snow Condensation Grass?"


    The stall owner''s exclamation drew several gazes over. When they saw the spiritual herb in his hand, their eyes showed a hint of surprise. The rare Snow Condensation Grass was something even the Atlas Shop traded only a few times a year, let alone being presented by a young spiritual novice.


    Heavenly treasures belong to those with destiny. Discovering such treasures not only required strength but also a fair amount of luck. Sometimes, luck could be considered a form of strength.


    "No problem, haha. Besides the Flame Spirit Grass and Pet Encyclopedia, I''ll even throw in a fire attribute Spiritual Core," the obviously pleased stall owner quickly stored the Snow Condensation Grass away, as if afraid Regret would change his mind. He then promptly handed over the agreed items.


    The value of Snow Condensation Grass ranked at the top among first grade spiritual herbs.


    Breathing a sigh of relief, a faint smile appeared on Regret''s face. Though the Snow Condensation Grass was precious, it could still be found several times a year in the entire Veloria City. But the Pet Encyclopedia was unique; despite appearing as if he had lost out, it would save him a lot of trouble in the long run.


    Briefly flipping through the Pet Encyclopedia, Regret felt highly satisfied. Although the book was somewhat damaged over time, it did not significantly affect its readability.


    Turning around, Regret began to walk towards the exit of the Atlas shop. Just as he reached the screen, Mark''s leisurely voice suddenly drifted over, startling Regret.


    "Your spirit beast should be a high level novice class Flame Cat, right?"


    Swallowing lightly, Regret turned his head in shock to see Mark smiling. "Don''t misunderstand. My life bound spirit beast happens to have a spiritual skill that can detect other spirit beasts. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have discovered it."


    In his state of shock, Regret did not notice that Mark had changed how he addressed him. It now sounded like two old friends conversing, reducing much of the initial unfamiliarity.


    "Indeed, Manager Mark, you truly have keen insight," Regret replied with a bitter smile as he approached. Fortunately, Mark''s control over his spiritual power was impeccable; no one else overheard the conversation. Otherwise, it would have become quite a headache.


    Lightly tapping the gold coins between his fingers, Mark chuckled softly, stood up slowly, and brushed his hand over the shelf. Then, he lightly knocked, and out popped a hidden compartment.


    Within that compartment lay a hexagonal object, quietly resting. At its center, there seemed to be a flicker of flame. Its crystalline, transparent appearance looked quite delicate.


    Holding the object between his fingers, Mark walked over to Regret and placed it in his hand.


    "What is this?" Regret asked, slightly puzzled.


    "A spirit crystal," Mark explained with a gentle smile, notice Regret''s continued confusion. "Many spirit masters only know about the spirit core found inside spirit beasts. However, besides the spirit core, there are some spirit beasts that also have spirit crystals within them. The chances of this are very slim though, only about one in a thousand spirit beasts will produce a spirit crystal.


    These spirit crystals are worth many times more than spirit cores."


    "Most spirit beasts can only comprehend fixed spirit techniques, but there is one method that allows a spirit beast to master spirit techniques understood by other spirit beasts."


    "Wooo, you mean the spirit crystal?" Regret''s breathing became slightly quicker. His understanding of spirit beasts was only superficial, and Mark''s words had undoubtedly opened a new door for him.


    "Yes," Mark praised Regret and continued, "By consuming a spirit crystal, a spirit beast can perceive the memories of the crystal''s previous owner and acquire new spirit techniques. However, this is limited to spirit beasts with the same attributes. If a spirit beast indiscriminately consumes spirit crystals of other attributes, the spiritual power within the beast may suffer irreversible damage."


    Regret nodded slightly and hesitantly asked, "What spirit technique does this crystal contain?"


    "It contains ''Cat Illusion,'' a unique technique of the Purple Charm Cat. It allows the user to disguise themselves as anything they desire with almost negligible energy consumption," Mark explained with a smile.


    Scratching his head, Regret asked awkwardly, "Mr. Mark, is this spirit crystal very expensive?"


    Although tempted, Regret hadn''t forgotten that only one spirit crystal had a chance of being born among a thousand spirit beasts. He knew that the price wouldn''t be cheap, even if he sold everything he had, it probably wouldn''t be enough for one spirit crystal.


    "It''s just a spirit crystal, consider it a gift," Mark generously waved his hand.


    Upon hearing this, Regret couldn''t help but be surprised. Was he really being given it for free?


    Even though he was the young master of the Blaze family, Mark''s status was not low either. There was no need for Mark to please him. Giving a gold coin card could be understood, but giving a spirit crystal seemed a bit unbelievable.

 Chapter 13 - 13 Magi The All know Book

    "Don''t worry, I have my own plan in doing this. With your father Ash there, I didn''t intend to harm you. In the future, if you want to trade spiritual cores, just come to my Atlas shop directly. The price will definitely be fair." Mark leaned back on his chair, his slightly overweight body creaking the seat.


    "Well then, thank you, Mark."


    As Regret left the shop, his mind still couldn''t process what had happened. The shopkeeper had actually gifted him a precious spirit crystal. Even his father, Ash Blaze, would find it unbelievable. "Given my situation, there doesn''t seem to be much to gain. No spirit master has any utility. But this Mark seems decent.


    Let''s have my father interact with him more."


    Stuffing the spirit crystal eagerly into his clotch, Regret turned a few streets and quickly vanished among the crowd.


    Watching Regret leave, on top of a tavern, a figure twirling a wine glass gradually revealed a sinister smile on his lips.


    "Silently taking you out shouldn''t be a problem, right? Young master, can''t wait for next time."


    "In the continent where I reside, known as the Spirit Beast Continent, the ancient Veloria City where the Blaze Family is located is part of the Bistol Empire, situated in the southeast corner of the entire continent. It could be considered remote."


    The burning lamp cast flickering small black shadows on the wall, as Regret sat under the lamplight carefully flipping through the pet encyclopedia brought back from the Atlas Store. Red was lying lazily on the table, gazing out the window where the lush branches rustled in the wind.


    "Hmm, there are sixteen types of spirit beasts on this continent. It seems that Veloria City is truly small. I''ve only encountered five types of spirit beasts in all my years." Regret placed the pet records on the table with a sigh of relief. This book was indeed worth buying; compared to the books in the family recording spirit beasts, it was far superior.


    The information recorded inside made him engrossed in it for the whole day.


    "Has the absorption of the spirit crystals been successful?" Regret suddenly looked at Red and asked.


    Nodding slightly, Red lazily propped himself up, a faint red light emanating from his body, eventually enveloping him completely.


    Soon after, Regret witnessed the white fur on Red''s tail disappearing at a visible speed, and the claws started to retract, reverting entirely to the appearance of the Flame Cat.


    "The Illusionary Cat Art is truly miraculous. I no longer need to go to great lengths to conceal Red''s rank in the future." A hint of unusual color flashed in his eyes as Regret smiled.


    *Snap!*


    After lining up the six bottles of Condensing Spirit Liquid on the table, Regret turned to retrieve the wooden basin he used yesterday. The medicinal properties of the Condensing Spirit Liquid were very mild, with few restrictions, and could even be used continuously.


    Some wealthy spirit masters directly raised their spirit beasts to the ninth rank using the Condensing Spirit Liquid, then waited for the opportunity for the spirit beast to break through.


    Taking out a bottle of Condensing Spirit Liquid casually, just as he was about to uncork it, a voice with a hint of playfulness suddenly rang out in the room.


    "Hey hey, such poor quality potion might not be worthy of your spirit beast."


    The voice echoed, Regret''s right hand holding the bottle stopper suddenly froze, then he took a few steps back with his pupils slightly shrinking, grabbing a wooden stick in his hand. Red also immediately pounced in front of Regret, with tiny flames quickly swirling around its sharp claws.


    "Who?" Regret scanned around and shouted sternly.


    Regret''s shout startled a hovering water winged insect outside the window, which suddenly accelerated and fled into the distance. The voice that had appeared earlier disappeared from the room like an illusion.


    After a moment, Regret''s gaze suddenly stared at the Pet Encyclopedia on the table as if seeing a ghost. In a room where no wind blew in, the Pet Encyclopedia began flipping on its own, getting faster and faster. For a moment, the entire room was filled with the sound of flipping pages.


    Swallowing quietly, Regret used his eyes to stop Red from tearing the Pet Encyclopedia apart with its claw. Gritting his teeth, the wooden stick in his hand made a sharp whistling sound as he fiercely smashed it towards the Pet Encyclopedia, which was about to flip to the end.


    "Buzz!"


    At the moment when the stick was about to hit the Pet Encyclopedia, an invisible energy shield suddenly enveloped the Pet Encyclopedia, causing the stick swung by Regret to freeze in midair.


    "Hey hey, humans are always timid, naturally fearful of the unknown."


    As the Pet Encyclopedia flipped to the last page, that unfamiliar voice resounded once again. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is it you speaking?" Regret stared intently at the somewhat damaged Pet Encyclopedia, his scalp slightly tingling. It wasn''t that he was timid, but the scene unfolding right now was too unbelievable, a worn out book actually speaking!


    "Of course it''s me, who else could it be?" Pet Encyclopedia shifted slightly and then half stood up, humming softly, "Ignorant. Could it be that in your impression, all spirit beasts are like that foolish Cat? Let me tell you, there are countless strange spirit beasts on this continent, and I am one of them."


    Hearing a book actually belittling itself, Red let out an angry growl and swiped a claw upwards.


    "Even a high level novice level spirit beast can''t do anything to me."


    A mocking voice came out as Red pounced forward, only to rebound fiercely as if hitting a hard wall.


    Regret swiftly caught Red in his hand, and at that moment, Pet Encyclopedia''s voice rang out again.


    "Truth be told, the folding screen at the Atlas Shop is also a spirit beast. If I remember correctly, it should be called Painting Screen Fan. I didn''t expect that chubby guy''s luck was so good. Painting Screen Fan is a rare spirit beast, rarely seen even in the outside world. The strength of this little Flame Cat, it was detected by the Painting Screen Fan."

 Chapter 14 - 14 Azure Spirit Liquid 1

    "No wonder." Regret pondered for a moment and then looked at Pet Encyclopedia with a serious gaze, "What are you then? I''ve never heard of a speaking spirit beast before."


    Pet Encyclopedia turned around and suddenly fell onto the table with a plop, sounding somewhat desolate, "I can''t remember many things. I only remember that my name is Magi The All Know Book, Just call me Magi the Book. The moment I regained consciousness, I was in the hands of that peddler, and today, it''s in your hands."


    "Well... should I return you then?" Regret grinned awkwardly, showing his teeth. He was eager to get rid of this hot potato. If it was an ordinary book, it would have been fine, but now that it had turned into a spirit beast, things were not that simple. Nobody wanted an unknown person around them.


    "No." Magi the book replied firmly, then his voice suddenly became anxious, "Hey, little guy, don''t go, come back!"


    Regret couldn''t even figure out what was going on. He simply pushed open the door, realizing that he couldn''t handle this fellow. He had to go find his father. No matter what, he didn''t want to share a room with a strange book that could talk.


    "Young people are so hot headed, they can''t even handle a little excitement," Magi the book suddenly appeared in mid air and blocked Regret''s path with a shimmer. "As long as you help me with something, you can have as much of the trash on the table as you want."


    Regret hesitated and glanced strangely at the Condensing spirit liquid on the table. Did he hear it right? The Condensing spirit liquid , considered a treasure by all low level spirit masters, was just trash in the eyes of Magi the book?


    "Really?" Regret turned his burning gaze towards the floating Magi the Book.


    "The Condensing spirit liquid is made from open air grass and golden crystal flowers. In the world of alchemy, it''s just the lowest grade medicine. Even the servants of some big families on the mainland would look down on it. I never expected that in your Veloria City, it would be considered a treasure."


    "What can you give me then?" Regret''s heart raced as he stared at the Magi the Book. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a flip, Magi the Book rustled and, in a blink of an eye, a densely written piece of paper detached from its body and floated down to Regret.


    "The Azure Spirit Liquid, made from the refining materials of Purple Profound Leaf, Moon Ink Flower, and Azure Spirit Thorn Vine. It has a gentle nature, helps enhance the strength of spiritual beasts, and significantly increases the chances of breaking through the spiritual beast''s rank."


    Reading the words on the paper, Regret''s eyes gradually brightened. According to the description, the effect of the Azure Spirit Liquid was far superior to that of the Condensing Spirit Liquid. However, the subsequent information immediately made him frown.


    "It says here that to refine the Azure Spirit Liquid, one needs to be an alchemist, right?"


    Regret let out a light sigh, feeling quite helpless. Although the Azure Spirit Liquid was excellent, it was not something he could enjoy. The number of alchemists in Veloria City could be counted on one hand. The Snow family ranked first among the four major families precisely because they had an alchemist of the first rank. The other three families rarely even saw the shadow of an alchemist.


    So, Regret now was like someone who owned a treasure trove but couldn''t open it, making his frustration palpable.


    "With the Blaze family''s power, inviting a first rank alchemist is indeed difficult, but I have another method," Magi the book said with a hint of cunning at the end of his sentence.


    "What method?" Hearing this, Regret''s spirits were lifted.


    "You can become an alchemist yourself," Magi the book''s teasing voice sounded.


    As soon as these words were spoken, Regret''s brow furrowed. While it was easy for Magi the Book to say, becoming an alchemist was no simple task. It required a large number of medicinal herbs to practice with, and without proper guidance, he might not even touch the threshold for years. However, he did possess the fire element spiritual power necessary for alchemy.


    "Can you help me?" Regret''s gaze turned to the floating Magi the Book, though he did not exhibit the excitement and urgency he felt. There are no free lunches in the world, especially when the offer comes from a stranger.


    "Of course, but you''ll have to do some things for me in return," Magi the Book said with a sly smile. Although its expression couldn''t be seen, Regret could hear the emotional fluctuations in its voice.


    "I knew that good things don''t come easy. Go ahead, but as a spirit master, my abilities are quite limited. Don''t expect me to do anything too difficult." Regret placed the paper containing the formula for Azure Spirit Liquid on the table, then sat down nonchalantly. As long as Magi the Book needed his help, he wouldn''t be too passive in this transaction.


    "In fact, my body is not entirely complete. The most important eight pages are scattered across the continent. Help me find those pages, and during this time, I will do my best to help you with anything within my capabilities." Magi the Book said eagerly.


    "This deal sounds good." Regret''s gaze flickered for a moment, but he didn''t immediately agree. Even if the cake looks good, one must have the ability to eat it. With his current strength, he obviously couldn''t handle it.


    Seeing Regret hesitating, Magi the Book''s hovering body suddenly stopped, and a helpless voice sounded in Regret''s ear, "You are quite a tough little guy. It seems I can''t convince you without some leverage. As long as you help me find the missing pages, aside from alchemy, I will also take full responsibility for the cultivation of this little Cat. How about it?"

 Chapter 15 - 15 Azure Spirit Liquid 2

    Red tilted its head, staring at Magi the Book with a puzzled expression.


    "The flame inside this little Cat''s body is quite unique. What''s even more rare is that only low-level novice level spirit beasts can absorb this flame. If my guess is correct, this little Cat is naturally a high level novice level spirit beast, but it was suppressed by special means later. It''s amazing that someone could achieve this in the small town of Veloria."


    Magi the Book''s voice echoed in the room once again, this time with a hint of admiration.


    As the words lingered in his ears, Regret was first surprised, then his gaze turned peculiar. He hadn''t expected that Magi The Book really had some tricks up its sleeve, even able to probe into the flame inside Red''s body, something that not even the specialized spirit beast detection fan could uncover.


    "How can I be sure that you won''t harm me or the Blaze family?" After a moment of silence, Regret''s voice was calm. He didn''t mind, but keeping Magi the book by his side was undeniably placing a time bomb in the Blaze family. If the latter really did something harmful to the Blaze family, Regret would only regret it deeply.


    Hearing this, Magi the Book also fell silent. After a long moment of hesitation, it finally hardened its heart and said, "I can bind a life and death spirit contract to your first spirit Portal. If I do anything harmful to you, a single thought from you would suffice to obliterate me."


    A life and death contract?


    Regret smacked his lips in his mind. While reading through Magi The Book, he had come across this peculiar spirit contract. Only extremely powerful spirit beasts could establish such a contract, and there were no restrictions on the one establishing it. However, this method could only be carried out between a master and a servant.


    One could imagine the immense resolve Magi The Book had before speaking.


    Magi The Book floated in front of Regret, with a faint light extending from its interior, and at the end of that light was Regret.


    After intertwining his fingers and taking several breaths, Regret bitterly smiled and waved his hand, dispersing the light extended by Magi The Book. He said softly, "Although I don''t know whether this is right or wrong, since I have decided to keep you by my side, we should be honest with each other. Besides, I really don''t like this kind of contract."


    The light in front of him transformed into countless brilliant light points, clearly stupefying Magi The Book. After a moment, a faint shadow began to coalesce above the open pages of the book.


    This shadow had a faint blue hue, swaying continuously with the flow of the air. What''s more peculiar was that the shadow''s face resembled an aged dark weasel, while its lower part floated like a ghost.


    "What is this?" Regret asked, widening his eyes in astonishment..


    "Actually, this book is just a part of my body. This phantom image is my true form, but my true form is currently very fragile and could be easily torn apart by a spirit beast of the novice level." The phantom held the book in one hand, looking at Regret with a complicated expression.


    Seeing this scene, Regret''s expression also changed slightly. It was evident that Magi The Book had truly decided to be candid, even revealing its most fatal weakness.


    "Happy cooperation."


    After a brief moment of contemplation, Regret extended his hand towards the phantom of Magi The Book, a slight smile appearing on his face.


    "Happy cooperation."


    Magi The Book let out a long breath. Two hands of completely disproportionate sizes tightly grasped each other, casting a solid black shadow on the wall.


    The morning sun shone into the spacious courtyard, filtering through the dense branches and leaves, scattering in patches on the ground. Beyond the courtyard, shadows flickered, with horse drawn carts carrying goods, raising dust into the air as they sped off into the distance.


    "Cousin, are you awake?"


    The ethereal voice of a young girl resonated in the courtyard, then passed through the wooden windows into the room.


    Slowly opening his eyes, Regret took a deep breath and gently woke up the Red snuggled on his chest, then groggily opened the door.


    Outside the door was Qistina with green vines.


    "What''s going on?" Regret asked in surprise.


    "Cousin, have you heard that the Blaze family invited an alchemist last night?" Qistina''s pretty face was filled with excitement.


    "An alchemist?" Regret stared at Qistina incredulously. If he hadn''t found out he might have the potential to be an alchemist last night, he would probably be even more shocked now.


    After all, alchemists were the most prestigious figures wherever they went. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Yes, it was the Second Elder who paid a high price to invite him. It seems his name is Kamal." Qistina''s bright eyes sparkled as she spoke.


    Kamal?


    Upon hearing this name, Regret not only showed no joy, but instead furrowed his brows slightly. Kamal''s reputation in Veloria City was not good, especially with his arrogant personality, which easily caused displeasure among people.


    "Kamal is here at the Blaze Family now?" Regret suddenly looked at Qistina.


    "Yes, with him here, we won''t have to worry about the elixirs we need for cultivation in the future," Qistina was quite excited. Having an alchemist in the family was beneficial for the younger generation like them.


    Nodding gently, Regret woke up the still sleeping Red and walked towards the direction of the reception hall with Qistina, where the Blaze Family usually entertained distinguished guests.


    The typically sparsely populated reception hall was now surrounded by a large number of Blaze Family members. Their gazes, filled with curiosity and excitement, were focused on the figure in white robes inside the reception hall.


    The person in white robes was obviously an old man. Despite being scrutinized by many eyes, his gaze remained indifferent, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

 Chapter 16 - 16 Kartis Man

    "A bumpkin who hasn''t seen the world," a young man next to the old man remarked disdainfully while looking at the people outside the door.


    "That''s someone from the Kartis Family, right?" Regret narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized this young man as Kartis Man, the grandson of Kartis Kai. Not long ago, he had seen portraits of the main members of the Kartis Family in his father Ash''s study romm.


    Sitting nonchalantly on the chair, Kamal raised his eyelids casually and said softly, "Originally, your Blaze Family wouldn''t be able to afford me. But since my disciple came out to speak, I can consider being your benefactor. Just ensure that the Blaze Family can pay the compensation on time."


    "Naturally," Peter''s eyes lit up upon hearing this. "As long as you are willing to help, we can negotiate the compensation terms."


    In the conversation between the two, Kartis Man cast a somewhat disdainful glance, scanning the faces of the Blaze family members in turn. Finally, his gaze suddenly settled on the pretty face of Qistina, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.


    "I didn''t expect this small Blaze family to actually have such a beauty. It seems this trip was not in vain," Kartis Man said, a faint curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. His unabashedly aggressive gaze made Qistina quite uncomfortable.


    As Kartis Man''s eyes flickered slightly, Regret sneered inwardly and stepped in front of Qistina.


    "Who are you?" his sudden interruption caused a anger to show Kartis Man''s face.


    "Oh, I see. Isn''t this Blaze Regret, the second young master of the Blaze family?" Kartis Man suddenly realized, nodding his head, "Just as Brother Kartis Van described, useless indeed. Flame Cat, even the lowest servants in our Kartis family look down on it. I didn''t expect you to cherish it like a treasure, always keeping it by your side."


    Upon hearing this, Qistina''s face almost instantly turned cold. She was about to speak when Regret took a step forward and calmly said, "You''re decent looking but your words stink. I really wonder if the young generation of the Kartis family is as ill mannered as you." Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Do you want to die?" Kartis Man''s smile slowly froze on his face, his voice turning extremely chilly.


    "Youth tend to be hot tempered." Kamal, who had been expressionless sitting on a chair, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, then spat it out forcefully, furrowing his brows, "What kind of awful tea is this? Is it even fit for drinking?"


    "Just a small family, maybe they can''t even eat their fill. Having tea to drink is already a luxury for them," Kartis Man chuckled, his voice tinged with subtle mockery.


    Upon seeing this scene, Regret''s heart gradually turned cold. He knew that the Blaze family would never suddenly invite an alchemist. Now he understood completely that Kamal was just someone the Kartis family brought in to humiliate the Blaze family.


    Kartis Kai was truly ruthless; Regret couldn''t comprehend what kind of rift existed between the Kartis and Blaze families to lead to such a situation today.


    The tea stains on the floor hadn''t dried yet, but the expressions on the faces of the Blaze family members turned exceptionally ugly. Kamal''s actions felt like a slap in the face to each of them.


    "Although the tea of the Blaze family may not be good, it''s not something that everyone can just spit out. Mr. Kamal, there are always people beyond people and things beyond things. Although alchemists are precious, in such a vast city like Veloria, there is more than one." Regret smiled lightly at Kamal. Since he knew the other was an enemy, there was no need for courtesy.


    As soon as his voice fell, the scene fell silent. Everyone stared dumbfounded at Regret. This guy actually dared to provoke an alchemist in public? Even though the provocation didn''t start with him.


    "Truly a case of a newcomer showing no fear of the expert." There was no sign of anger on Kamal''s face, just a shake of his head and a smile. Regret''s words didn''t seem to affect him much; he just treated them as a joke. Within Veloria City, besides him, who else could the Blaze family invite?


    "Regret, step aside!" The second elder, Peter, sighed internally. Although he also disliked Kamal, an alchemist was still an alchemist with a lofty status. If it weren''t for this layer of identity, he would have kill Kamal, who had been provoking him all along, into pieces.


    "A mere spiritual novice dares to speak so arrogantly here, how ridiculous." When Regret turned around, the mocking voice of Kartis Man rang out in the room.


    At the instant Kartis Man finished speaking, Regret''s steps suddenly halted. Then, he slowly turned around, his voice devoid of any emotion as he spoke slowly.


    "You are truly annoying. In the future, when you see me in the Blaze family, it''s best to take a different path. Otherwise, I might lose control and have someone slaughter you."


    As soon as Regret''s voice fell, the younger generation of the Blaze family began to stir. Over a dozen figures with ill intentions gradually moved towards Kartis Man. The scene made the latter''s face quite unpleasant.


    "Remember, this territory belongs to the Blaze family, not the Kartis family." With that said, Regret no longer wasted any words, turned around and left.


    "Regret, you are good, I hope that there are always so many people by your side every day."


    Kartis Man looked at Regret''s back with resentment, a touch of coldness passing through his eyes.


    Regret left the front of the reception hall and did not return to his room. Instead, following the instructions of the Magi The Book, he arrived at an inconspicuous shop front.


    The shop was named Spirit Techniques Market, and it sold various spirit techniques that could be used by spirit masters. During battles between spirit beasts, spirit masters could not only command the fight but also assist the spirit beasts with different spirit techniques to alter the course of a battle.

 Chapter 17 - 17 Azure Flame Lynx

    Of course, spiritual Techniques also have detailed types of classification, which can roughly be divided into three types: attack type, support type, and body technique type spiritual arts. However, generally, spirit masters do not choose to practice attack type spiritual arts, as that type consumes too much spiritual power and can easily lead to exhaustion of one''s spiritual power.


    "Boss, I want a copy of Flame Step."


    Entering the spiritual Techniques Market, Regret didn''t waste any words and directly placed one hundred gold coins on the table. Flame Step belongs to the body technique type of spiritual Techniques, which is very common in spiritual Techniques, so the price is relatively cheap.


    The boss of the spiritual Techniques market is a thin young man. He glanced at Regret and pointed to the third level of the leftmost bookshelf, his voice hoarse, saying, "Flame Step is on the third level of the left bookshelf."


    Regret nodded, walked directly to the bookshelf, and heard a squeaking sound. A fiery red book shot out from the shelf and landed precisely in Regret''s hands.


    "Spirit Splitting Mouse?"


    Regret looked somewhat surprised at the spiritual beast on the bookshelf. It was a white mouse the size of a palm, with sharp claws and eyes shimmering faintly. This spiritual beast named Spirit Splitting Mouse had an incredibly strong memory and could accurately remember the placement of items in a short period of time.


    After leaving the spiritual Techniques Market, Regret took a deep breath of the slightly cool air, then quickly returned to the room, grabbed the Magi the Book and the cloth bag, and hastened towards the back mountain.


    "By the way, do you have another name, I can''t keep calling you Magi the Book in the future." Regret asked as he walked.


    "Hehe, I really don''t have other name beside that."


    A faint shadow, like a wandering ghost, floated beside Regret. Fortunately, this road was part of the Blaze family''s influence, rarely traveled by people. Otherwise, this eerie scene could have scared many.


    "If not, then I''ll give you one. Now, with you guiding my cultivation, our relationship is like master and disciple. In the future, I will call you Master Magi," Regret said with a faint smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes.


    "Hmm!" S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hearing this name, Red finally snickered, swaying its little tail in the air. Compared to that, its name was much more stylish.


    "Sly little guy, I truly lost to you."


    Magi the Book chuckled hidden in his sack. Regret had invisibly placed a shackle on him, trapping him in the guise of a teacher. In the future, not only would he mentor him with all he had, but if Regret encountered danger, he couldn''t just stand idly by. He had underestimated this seemingly slightly immature youth.


    Magi the Book thought, Regret''s calculations were indeed meticulous. Upon their first meeting, he had already surmised that Magi the Book''s true strength should not be weaker than his father''s spirit beast Fire Spirit Lion. Keeping such a teacher close would only bring endless benefits to him and the Blaze family.


    After greeting Adam, Regret led Red into the back mountains. Red leaped, landing steadily on the ground, its white fuzzy tail gradually becoming visible. The aura of an advanced novice level spirit beast spread out instantly.


    Red, released from its bewilderment, made many lurking beasts quickly retreat. Regret''s main task in coming to the back mountains this time was to gather the Purple Profound Leaves, Moon Ink Flowers, and Azure Spirit Thorn Vines necessary for refining Azure Spirit Liquid. He didn''t want any unnecessary battles for now.


    With a satisfied hum, Red swayed its little tail and strolled leisurely in front of Regret.


    "In your cloth bag, there is also a Flame Spirit Grass, right," in the secluded mountain woods, Master Magi no longer conceals his true form, drifting directly beside Regret, surrounded by a substantial light shield around his phantom, as if in defense.


    "Well, I plan to find a suitable place and let Red refine it," Regret nodded.


    "Refine it? That''s truly wasting a precious resource," the Master Magi shook his head and chuckled, "The most rational way to use Flame Spirit Grass is not by direct consumption but by using it after the fire elemental spirit power within the spiritual beast''s body is completely depleted. Only then can its medicinal properties be fully utilized.


    If you''re lucky, your little Cat here might even advance a level directly."


    Upon hearing this, Regret nodded in gratitude, looking as if he was learning a valuable lesson. If not for the Master Magi, he would have missed out on many good things.


    "Rustle!"


    Just as the two were conversing, the nearby tree trunk shook for a moment and later a blazing red shadow suddenly burst out, its claws carrying faint traces of flames. The surrounding leaves all withered and evaporated due to the high heat contained within it.


    "Haha, I''ve had my eye on you for a while now."


    The Master Magi smiled faintly, waved his hand, and a semi circular light shield appeared out of thin air, directly engulfing the fiery red shadow that want to attack Regret.


    Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Within that light shield was a Flame Lynx with its body engulfed in flames, with light purple fur around its neck. Its eyes were as fierce as those of a bloodthirsty wolf, and its slashing claws made knocking sounds on the light shield.


    "You probably don''t recognize it. This spiritual beast is called the Azure Flame Lynx, one of the rarer spiritual beasts, belonging to the middle ranking novice tier in terms of grade. It has immense potential and in their eyes, everyone is weak like ants, which is why it dared ambush you," explained the Master Magi with a smile.


    The Red crouched on the light shield, its eyes fiercely staring at the Azure Flame Lynx inside, who was also glaring back angrily. Without the light shield, they might have fought immediately.

 Chapter 18 - 18 Flame Step

    "Too bad my second spirit portal hasn''t opened yet, or this Azure Flame Lynx would be a good choice." Regret licked his lips, knowing that the greater the potential of a spirit beast, the higher the chance of breaking through ranks. The Azure Flame Lynx had the potential to jump two ranks when breaking through.


    "If you follow me, your future path won''t be so simple," Master Magi looked at Regret, shaking his head lightly in his heart as his gaze flickered, pondering something.


    "If you want to kill, you must be prepared to be killed."


    With a casual wave of his hand, the light shield instantly disappeared at Mater Magi''s command, and the impatient Ref immediately pierced through the Azure Flame Lynx''s paw and throat with a single claw.


    This Azure Flame Lynx was only a third rank intermediate Novice and was clearly no match for Red.


    Furthermore, in the eyes of spiritual beasts, the spirit master they formed a contract with was more crucial than their own lives. Thus, the Azure Flame Lynx, seeking Regret''s life, received no mercy from the Red. With a single strike to kill, there was no room for hesitation.


    Watching the Red devour the Azure Flame Lynx''s core, Regret turned his gaze towards the front of the forest, where the purple mysterious leaves and moon ink flowers grew.


    In the dense forest, a thin mist lingered in the air, providing a cool and viscous sensation upon contact with the skin.


    Under a tall tree, Regret carefully collected the herbs on the ground. His bag already contained a good amount of Purple Xuan Leaves and Moon Ink Flowers. The Purple Xuan Leaves were easily identifiable purple in color with four leaves, while the Moon Ink Flowers were black with delicate patterns that seemed to show faint crescent shaped light spots.


    After a while, Regret sighed with relief and leaned against the tree, feeling drained. Herb gathering was not an easy task, requiring prolonged concentration that easily led to fatigue.


    Seeing Regret finish the tedious work, Red happily nodded, then lightly jumped onto Regret''s shoulder.


    "Next, we should gather the Azure Spirit Thorn Vine. However, around this herb, there are often creatures called Thorn Vine Snakes, so we need to be careful," the Master Magi floated in the air, waving his hand to dispel the protective aura within a three meter radius. Without this shield, Regret would not have been so at ease collecting herbs under the trees.


    Regret nodded, scanned the surroundings for any danger, and then hoisted the bag onto his back, heading in the direction indicated by the Master Magi.


    "When you have enough money, You''ll have to buy a Void Stone. Otherwise, you might regret it if you find something good but have no way to carry it," the Master Magi glanced at the bag on Regret''s back and muttered.


    The Void Stone was a magical item used on the Beast Spirit Continent to store items. While it appeared as an ordinary rectangular stone on the outside, it contained a vast space within, capable of storing anything except living creatures.

    "A basic Void Stone costs at least ten thousand gold coins. Where would I get so much money?" Regret helplessly retorted. In the entire Blaze family, there were only three Void Stones, one with his father and the other two held by the elders.


    "As long as you become an alchemist, obtaining gold coins is just a piece of cake." Master Magi chuckled heartlessly.


    "Well, it also depends on whether I have the talent for it." Regret muttered in his heart. Becoming an alchemist isn''t that easy. Just the requirement of having Fire type spiritual power alone already eliminates the majority of spiritualists. Moreover, alchemy has strict requirements for talent. If it were easy, alchemists would be everywhere already, not as rare as they are now.


    However, in the next moment, a firm determination flashed in Regret''s eyes. Regardless of whether he had the talent or not, he had time and Master Magi''s assistance by his side. He refused to believe that he would be weaker than that Kamal!


    "We''re almost there." Master Magi floated in front of Regret, gently lifting his chin. The azure spirit thorn vines grew abundantly on the mountain walls, making them easy to spot.


    The closer they got to the mountain walls, the stronger the spiritual beasts they encountered. By now, third and fourth tier spiritual beasts were basically nowhere to be seen. Just a while ago, Regret even saw a seventh tier spiritual beast, but it quickly retreated under the intimidation of Master Magi.


    The trees in front gradually thinned out, and the silhouette of the Ink Mountain appeared in their sight. Regret looked at the densely packed thorn vines on the mountain and felt relieved. He had been worried that there might not be this kind of medicinal herb on the mountain behind the Blaze family, but now it seemed that he had been overly concerned.


    Regret was about to command Red to harvest the azure spirit thorn vines when Master Magi''s voice, slightly hoarse, suddenly sounded.


    "You go up there on your own."


    Upon hearing this, Regret was visibly stunned, then looked at Master Magi in bewilderment. Was he kidding? How could he climb up such a steep mountainside!


    The master Magi, upon seeing the situation, just chuckled lightly, "Do you know why you need to practice the Flame Step? Although this kind of body technique seems ordinary, in terms of explosiveness and speed, few spirit techniques can compare. Once mastered to perfection, not only mountains, but even lakes will feel like flat ground."


    Regret''s gaze shifted to the sword like mountain wall, covered with dense blue spirit thorns and occasional shadowy movements undoubtedly the thorn snakes.


    "Let''s go up. The worst that can happen is a couple of bites."


    With a leap from his shoulder, Regret drew out the Flame Step hidden inside his clothes. With a touch of his finger, a massive amount of information flooded his mind, causing the flame Step technique to gradually dissipate from his hand. "Whoosh!"

 Chapter 19 - 19 Refining

    A tiny flame erupted from under Regret''s feet, its heat lower than the fiery claws of Red. After a moment of silence, Regret''s eyes snapped open. He stomped the ground and dashed forward. Each step left a black footprint. "Thud!"


    The foot heavily landed on the rocky mountain wall as Regret''s figure mysteriously moved upwards. With each step, the flame under his feet diminished until, on the seventh step, a pale hue crept onto his face. At that moment, a thorn snake seized the opportunity, its triangular eyes gleaming fiercely as it shot towards him like lightning.


    "Get lost!" Regret''s eyes turned cold as he ruthlessly stamped the snake''s head, propelling himself backward before landing heavily on the ground and stabilizing his stance after a few steps back.


    "Swoosh!"


    Red figure flashed out at the same time, its claws carrying a sharp gust of wind, pinning down the snake vine that had launched a sneak attack on Regret earlier.


    Under sudden heavy blow, the snake vine twisted in agony on the ground, raising dust in the air. But in the next moment, it ceased struggling as the Red figure had already dug out its core with its claws.


    "I thought it wouldn''t be easy for him to take five steps for the first time, but I never thought he could take seven steps and land a blow on the snake vine. This adaptability is impressive," Master Magi praised inwardly, though his face remained expressionless. Indifferently, he said, "Poor endurance, only stopped after seven steps. Continue."


    Regret sneered. Normally, only Intermediate Spirit master could practice spiritual arts, but due to three years of accumulation, his spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary Spirit Novices, almost comparable to some Spirit Apprentice. And this was considered weak?


    Thinking this in his mind, Regret quickly charged forward again, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes. If seven steps weren''t enough, he would test where his limits truly lay!


    "Bang!"


    From the mountain wall covered with azure spirit thorns came a low muffled sound, as several all green thorn snakes, carrying a faint smell of blood, swiftly pounced towards the black clothed young man.


    "Too slow."


    Regret smiled faintly, stepping on a rock and quickly dodging to the side. A streak of red light followed, causing the thorn snakes drooling with saliva to softly drop to the ground.


    This scene had played out countless times on the steep mountain wall. Behind Regret, Red vigilantly followed, ready to tear any attacker into pieces without hesitation.


    Watching the young man darting back and forth on the mountain wall, the Master Magi''s gaze revealed a hint of satisfaction. Initially, he had only wanted to give it a try, but as time passed, he became increasingly convinced that he had made the right choice.


    Ordinary spirit novice could only take fifty steps with the Flame Step Technique, but after a day of training, Regret had already reached an astonishing sixty steps.


    Spirit masters and spirit beasts coexisted in a mysterious way, with their strengths mutually reinforcing each other. If Regret''s first spirit pact, the scorching Flame Cat, could advance to the fourth rank, even taking a hundred steps might not be impossible.


    Once again landing on the ground, Regret no longer appeared as embarrassed as when his first spiritual power had run dry. Although his spiritual power was now nearing its limits, he had completely adapted to this feeling, and even began to enjoy it somewhat.


    Gathering the azure spirit thorns on the ground into a pile, Regret grinned and said, "Master Magi, can you teach me how to refine the Azure Spirit Liquid now?"


    After scanning the herbs on the ground, Master Magi nodded gently, then turned around and floated towards the depths of the forest. His soft voice followed, "Come with me."


    Stuff the Azure Spirit Thorn into the cloth bag, Regret gritted his teeth and rubbed the back of his hand that got pierced by wooden thorns. He quickly pick on Red and hurried towards Master Magi.


    Master Magi chose a rare open space in the forest, surrounded by lush trees with little sign of spiritual beast activity.


    "Alchemist must not be disturbed; light interference could ruin the cauldron, serious interference could harm oneself." Master Magi waved his hand, enveloping the area in a semi transparent light shield, blocking out all sounds from the forest.


    "Azure Spirit Liquid, though categorized as a top grade elixir, is simply a liquid. Therefore, the alchemist process is relatively simple, and a cauldron is not required."


    As he spoke, Master Magi''s palm opened, and a dazzling light condensed into an exquisite cauldron shape in his hand.


    "This is the appearance of the cauldron. I call it the Simulated Alchemist Cauldron. It only mimics the shape and lacks functionality. Using this simulated cauldron to refine elixirs allows alchemists to better observe the liquid''s changes and sense the alchemist process sooner."


    Master Magi''s sleeve flicked, and the simulated cauldron fell in front of Regret, rotating slowly, emitting a soft glow.


    With a look of amazement in his eyes, Regret extended his palm, and a blazing flame surged under the cauldron, astonishing him.


    "The greatest advantage of the simulated cauldron is that it requires very little spiritual power to operate. If you were to use a normal cauldron, with just the little spiritual power inside you, you probably couldn''t even refine a drop of Azure spirit liquid." Master Magi yawned and leaned lightly on the remaining rock inside the light shield.


    "The rest is up to you to figure out; this old man is going to take a nap." S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing this, Regret glanced at Master Magi in surprise. The latter''s way of addressing him seemed to inadvertently reveal his age.


    Shaking his head slightly to rid himself of these distracting thoughts, Regret began adding three types of medicinal herbs sequentially, as recorded in the recipe for the Azure Spirit Liquid.


    "Hiss!"


    The Purple Xuan Leaf turned into a puddle of purple liquid almost instantly upon entering the alchemist cauldron. The addition of Moon Ink Flower completely altered the color of the medicinal liquid.

 Chapter 20 - 20 Earth Split Scorpion

    Although the recipe gave simple instructions, the refining process was quite complex. Besides the timing of when to add each herb, even the proportions had to be meticulously controlled. It was only after dozens of failures that Regret slowly began to master these aspects.


    As the refining continued, Regret gradually became engrossed in the process. However, to Red, observing this was rather boring. Hence, it lay down on the rock behind Master Magi, quietly watching the front where the flames within the cauldron slowly flickered in its eyes. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Outside the light barrier, a gentle breeze blew past, lifting a few dry leaves that landed on the semi transparent barrier before sliding off.


    Inside the light barrier, the waste liquid mixed with carbon like substances at Regret''s feet kept accumulating. Nonetheless, as the refining process progressed, the amount of discarded waste liquid diminished, while the refined Azure Spirit Liquid was separated by the simulated alchemical cauldron at the moment of successful creation, forming a spherical shape that floated mid air.


    The process of refining the medicinal liquid took about an hour. Despite this, Regret''s face did not show any signs of fatigue. Whenever he felt mentally exhausted, a golden drop of liquid would be generated from beneath the simulated alchemical cauldron and merge into his body, dispelling any exhaustion.


    "Having someone show the way is indeed good. Now I finally understand why the children of those prominent families like the Kartis family make such rapid progress in their cultivation." After finishing the last batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, Regret wiped the sweat off his forehead and sighed lightly in his heart.


    If it weren''t for Master Magi''s guidance, not to mention becoming an alchemist, he probably wouldn''t even dare to entertain such a thought now.


    "Whew!" Seeing Regret finally complete the boring task, Red chirped cheerfully and swiftly jumped onto his shoulder like lightning.


    "Finished refining?" Rubbing his forehead, Master Magi wearily opened his eyes. It was evident that the condensation of the simulated Alchemy Cauldron had greatly drained his spiritual power. After all, no matter what, his true form was just a book, and missing eight pages was undoubtedly a severe blow to him.


    The next moment, Master Magi floated up and placed his palm on the simulated Alchemist Cauldron, which instantly turned into golden light and entered his body. As the golden light flowed in, his spirit began to revive.


    "Well done, it seems I didn''t misjudge." Master Magi glanced at the eight floating orbs in the air and smiled. Then, with a light gesture of his hand, those eight orbs gently landed on the ground.


    "By the way, Master Magi, where exactly are those missing pages of yours?" Regret suddenly asked.


    Though feeling some relief in his eyes, Master Magi lightly waved his hand. "I understand your intention, but with your current strength, I''m afraid you won''t even be able to get a single page. When the time is right, I''ll let you know."


    Nodding helplessly, Regret carefully packed all the Azure Spirit Liquid into a cloth bag. At that moment, Master Magi''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Little one, trouble is coming your way."


    Upon hearing the words of the master Magi, Regret was slightly surprised. In the back mountains of the Blaze family, what trouble could there possibly be? Could it be that a powerful spiritual beast had arrived?


    "Spirit possession, quite a good method, but the target of this spirit possession seems a bit weak."


    The master Magi sneered and waved his hand. The surrounding light shield gradually dissipated, and the next moment, a huge black shadow appeared in Regret''s line of sight. Red perched on his shoulder instantly stood up, a fierce glint in its eyes.


    It was a massive scorpion, its entire body showing a sandy color. The protrusions on its back resembled hardened crystals. Behind it, the sharp tail slightly curved, with its tail hook displaying its lethal power. Most striking were its enormous pincers, capable of snapping a sturdy iron rod in half with ease.


    "This is the Earth split Scorpion?"


    Regret''s eyes flickered. This Earth split Scorpion was at most around the sixth rank. Although it had a higher rank than Red, it was still only a low level novice grade spiritual beast. If they were to engage in a fight, it was uncertain who would emerge victorious.


    "This is no ordinary Earth split Scorpion. I can sense the aura of a spirit contract on its body," the master Magi said lightly.


    "A spiri contract?" Regret''s eyes almost instantly turned cold. If it wasn''t a spiritual beast from the Blaze family that appeared here, then it could only be trouble seeking for them!


    Veloria City, snow family.


    "Elder, have you found that kid?"


    In a not so large room, two figures were sitting cross legged on cushions, and the young figure who spoke earlier was none other than Snow Feng from the Snow family!


    "Don''t worry. If what you said is true, that brat from the Blaze family is indeed trouble. To get rid of him without Blaze Ash noticing, we had to resort to the method of Spirit possession. You know the drawback of this method, it can only be used on weaker spiritual beasts. So, we''ll have to take it slow." Snow Ahmad, the elder of the Snow family, raised his eyelids to reveal a pair of gloomy eyes.


    "Hehe, Elder Snow Ahmad, don''t underestimate that kid too much. Boosting his spiritual beast to the third rank in just one day, he must have used the Blood Awakening Pill. After using the pill, the spiritual beast''s strength will indeed increase significantly, but soon after, that spiritual pet will probably be useless." Snow Feng smirked with a gloating expression on his face.


    "Sixth rank against the third rank is definitely overwhelming. Elder Snow Ahmad, after finishing off that Flame Cat, don''t forget to cripple that Regret boy. He has caused me a lot of trouble at the Atlas shop."


    At this mention, Snow Feng''s face darkened significantly. In Veloria City, he was always the one causing trouble for others. He never expected Regret to embarrass him this time. So, as soon as he returned to the Snow family, he began persuading Snow Ahmad to deal with Regret.

 Chapter 21 - 21 Spirit Possession

    "He''s just a waste. If he dies, he dies. I don''t believe that old Blaze Ash can come after me." Caressing the centipede at his feet, Snow Fang smirked darkly.


    "If he does come, be prepared. I''m going to sever the soul contract."


    With that, Snow Ahmad formed a seal with one hand, and with a splutter, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. Seeing this, Snow Feng quickly stuffed a pill into Snow Ahmad''s mouth.


    "We''ve been at odds for over ten years, Regret. Today, your fate ends on your own turf." A sinister grin curved on Snow Feng''s lips.


    "The so called Spirit possession is when the spiritual master exerts partial control over the spiritual beast by severing half of the soul contract in advance. In this state, it''s challenging for other spiritual masters to perceive the ownership of this spiritual beast. It''s a ruthless method used for assassination and ambush. Most targets rarely get to experience such treatment."


    The reason it''s described as ruthless is because once the Spirit possession is completed, the spirit master cannot recall the spirit contract anymore. In other words, this spirit beast cannot form another contract with the spirit master in the future.


    Once the bond is severed, the spirit master will suffer severe backlash, at least for the next three months, during which the Spirit possession cannot be formed again, unless a large amount of spiritual medicine or elixirs are used.


    Regret clicked his tongue, wondering who had such a great grudge against him to go to such lengths. Apart from Snow Feng and Kartis Man, in this ancient Veloria city, he really couldn''t think of a second person.


    If Red was just a low ranking third stage novice, then today his life would definitely be left in these deep mountains and old forests without a doubt. But looking at the current situation, all he could say was that the other side was just wasting their time.


    "Be cautious, the Spirit possession is completed," the voice of Master Magi came again during contemplation.


    "Now that it''s done, let''s finish it off," Regret said indifferently.


    "Roar!"


    Red''s body slightly arched, then suddenly pounced out without any hesitation. His right claw began to burn with a hint of flame, and as he swung it, a sharp whistling sound could be heard in the air.


    The confusion in the eyes of the Earth split Scorpion retreated, replaced by endless fierceness. Its pincers tore through the air fiercely as it met the attack head on.


    "Clang!"


    The collision of the two figures, completely unmatched, occurred. The Earth split Scorpion stood firm as a rock, while Red tumbled backward, clearly at a disadvantage in the simple clash.


    Naturally, due to their race, the petite Flame Cat is in a league of its own when it comes to pure strength, only comparable to the Earth split Scorpion if it is overwhelmed, otherwise it is impossible to be on par with it.


    At this moment, a faint red light shone in Regret''s eyes with some red light swirling about. On his right hand, there was also a faint glow emanating.


    "Spiritual power resonance?" The master Magi looked at Regret with interest.


    "Bang!"


    With a muffled sound, the Earth split Scorpion closed its pincers and heavily hammered them down towards the ground, causing sharp ground spikes to tear apart the earth, quickly spreading towards Red.


    "A spiritual beast without a spirit Mastert''s control dares to kill me, how foolish!"


    Regret snorted coldly, slowly raised his right hand, then suddenly twisted it. The two flaming claws of Red rose with searing flames, shattering the incoming sharp earth spikes instantly into pieces, scattering them all around!


    "So this is spiritual power resonance." Regret sighed lightly in his heart, feeling as if he had merged with the Red. Even if he closed his eyes, the sights that the latter could see were also presented before him.


    "A spirit master who cannot control spiritual beasts is no different from an ordinary person. If you can''t even perform spiritual power resonance, what''s the point of a spirit master?


    You''ve only just begun to experience the wonders of the Spiritual Beast Continent; the road ahead is long." The master Magi circled around, finally diving back into that old book, leaving only a faint voice lingering in the empty space.


    "Feeling quite good, as a token of my gratitude for improving my mood, I''ll gladly accept the gift from the snow family without hesitation."


    Regret smiled, his handprint suddenly changed, a strange light flashed in the eyes of Red, then suddenly swooped towards the Earth split Scorpion''s back. The two intersecting Cat claws left clear red traces in the air.


    "A loud bang!"


    With a deep muffled sound, amidst the dust, the enormous body of the Earth split Scorpion slowly fell to the ground while the vitality in its eyes gradually dissipated. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Atop the corpse of the Earth Split Scorpion, Red panted heavily, lowering its small head. Under its claws, the shell of the Earth split Scorpion was already covered with wounds of various sizes, the deepest one clearly located near its head.


    "The resonance of spiritual power does wield formidable power, but the consumption of spiritual power is also terrifying."


    Regret also looked weary. The sixth order Earth split Scorpion was far stronger than the Snow Ape, and being of the rock type spiritual beast, it had a certain restraint effect on fire type spiritual beasts. If someone were to command it, the outcome of this battle might not be so simple.


    Jumping to Regret''s side with the last of its strength, Redt''s legs trembled slightly before curling up beside him. This was a clear sign of complete depletion of strength and spiritual power. Looking at the wounds on the Earth Split Scorpion''s body, one could only guess how many times it had attacked.


    "Now, I should be able to use the Flame Spirit Grass."


    Gently lifting Red, Regret took out the Flame Spirit Grass from his bag. It had to be said that spiritual herbs were truly exceptional, far beyond the likes of materials such as Purple Profound Leaves; it was difficult to destroy them without significant impact.

 Chapter 22 - 22 Fourth Stage

    With a light curl of its tongue, the Flame Spirit Grass was swallowed, and immediately, the temperature of Red''s body rose. A crimson light, resembling a hazy halo, formed around its body.


    Subsequently, the spiritual power in the surroundings, as if attracted by something, rushed rapidly into its body.


    "Wu!"


    With a comfortable soft hum, a slight increase in fur on the body of Red was barely noticeable, yet Regret could easily discern it, having been together with Red day and night.


    "Breakthrough." Regret looked at the slightly raised eyelids of Red with joy.


    "Flame Spirit Grass is indeed a genuine spiritual medicine. Moreover, this little Flame Cat has been fighting all day. If it couldn''t break through, that would be truly strange." The master Magi in the bag was completely unconcerned, not even materializing.


    Regret just smiled at this. The master magi had a different perspective, but he was still just a spirit master novice. The stronger his contracted spirit beast became, the different his feelings in his heart.


    "It''s time to go back."


    Gazing at the forest about to be engulfed in darkness, Regret locked eyes with Red. After the spiritual resonance between the two during their training, they seemed to have established a subtle connection, able to perceive each other''s thoughts without deliberate expression.


    After a simple dinner, Regret quickly returned to his room, tightly shutting all doors and windows. Once there was a secret, everything had to be done with extreme caution. Though he trusted the people in the Blaze family, there was always the ''what if.''


    Especially with the existence of the master magi, he couldn''t afford for anyone to discover. If news accidentally leaked out, the Blaze family alone wouldn''t be able to handle it.


    The Cat claws lightly patted Regret''s face, while in the eyes of Red, an inexplicable brilliance flickered.


    "Don''t hit me, I understand."


    Regret muttered helplessly, then took out the wooden basin. Now he finally realized the kind of moving consumable he had with him. Other spiritual masters'' spirit beasts could only absorb one bottle of condensing spirit liquid per day at most, but for Red, it was a piece of cake.


    "Let''s try today''s fresh goods."


    The condensing spirit liquid on the table had long been treated as trash by the Master Magi and used for watering plants. Only six empty medicine bottles were left. Regret took out a gel like light ball from the bag, squeezed it open, and found that it could fill all six bottles.


    "I didn''t expect it to be so plentiful."


    After a simple measurement, Regret opened another light ball with confidence, poured all the liquid into the wooden basin, to prevent using too much medicine at once and causing harm to Red''s body.


    "Don''t worry, your little flame cat can endure a lot. It''s unlikely to die in general situations." The Master Magi crossed his hands and smirked slightly.


    Red growled softly and swiped a claw again.


    "Stop messing around, both of you."


    Regret separated them and gently placed the protesting Red in the wooden basin. Only then did the latter calm down. However, with its two claws still on the edge of the basin, its gaze was fixed firmly on the Master Magi. It was probably considering when to find an opportunity to swipe at him again.


    The Azure Spirit liquid in the wooden basin was a dark green color.


    Regret could see that strands of liquid kept surging towards the body of Red without stopping, and then flowing out again, but when it came out, the color had clearly lightened quite a bit.


    Soaked in the Azure Spirit liquid, Red felt very comfortable, although its two claws still gripped the wooden basin. However, its eyes narrowed slightly, and faintly, there was even a slight snoring sound coming out.


    "This little thing."


    Master Magi shook his head and smiled, then buried himself back into his books. After a clangorous noise, the room once again returned to calm.


    In the following days, aside from eating, Regret stayed in the room all the time, while Red never left the wooden basin. Even during meals, Regret had to feed it hand to mouth. Master Magi scolded them for being so attached, but Red couldn''t be bothered anymore. Every time the former spoke up, it would just turn its butt away in a spoiled manner.


    The stronger the spiritual power of a spirit beast, the richer the spiritual power contained within the spirit master. Regret sat cross legged on the bed, continuously adapting to this feeling. If he were to use the Flame Step now, he should be able to easily step out a hundred steps.


    Having practiced for seven days straight, the sense of unreal power increase in Red had completely stabilized. If they were to encounter the Earth Split Scorpion again, it wouldn''t be as troublesome as last time, and Regret might not even need to resonance their spiritual powers.


    Opening the door, the dazzling sunlight shone down. Regret squinted slightly, then strode out with Red.


    The reason he went out today was to sell off the remaining Azure Spirit liquid he had and buy a large quantity of medicinal herbs needed to refine the Azure Spirit liquid. As Master Magi had mentioned, he urgently needed a Void Realm Stone now, or else carrying around a bag all day might make others think he''s crazy.


    "Cousin, I was just looking for you."


    Regret had not walked long before he saw Qistina''s cheerful face full of happiness, running over from the side. The green vine behind her was still stumbling along, but the thorns on the vine had become much sharper. If anyone underestimated it because of its behavior, they would surely pay a painful price.


    "Why, is there an event in the family?" Regret stopped in his tracks and asked with a smile.


    "Did you forget? Today is the day for distributing Condensing Spirit Liquid in the family." Qistina gave Regret a white look. She had been looking forward to this important event for several days, but Regret had not paid it any mind.

 Chapter 23 - 23 Kartis Kai

    On the ground, Qistina''s green vine waved its long tendrils, trying to provoke Red furiously. Unexpectedly, Red didn''t even lift its eyelids, just hummed softly and pressed close to Regret''s neck.


    "Your spirit beast really has quite the personality," Qistina said helplessly.


    "No choice, the differences in species are quite large." Regret innocently shrugged his shoulders. He had also noticed that apart from him, Red seemed to have no warmth for any other creatures.


    "Oh, cousin, I forgot to tell you, it seems like there has been a last minute change in the Elder in charge of distributing the spirit condensing liquid for the Blaze family today," suddenly, Qistina''s gaze became serious.


    "Who?" Regret felt something was amiss.


    "Kartis Kai."


    "Well, it seems things are getting a bit lively then." Regret''s eyes narrowed slowly and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.


    "Let''s go."


    Today, for the Blaze family, it was not an ordinary day. All the young ones who had gone out for training or tasks were gathered in front of the main hall, whispering to each other, making the place lively.


    As Regret passed by, many clan members warmly greeted him. Of course, he noticed the sympathetic glances toward him, especially when they saw Red. However, he just smiled faintly without paying much attention.


    "Regret, are you interested in coming with me to Bloodstone Pass for training? The spirit masters there are much better than the ones here."


    "Don''t listen to him. Bloodstone Pass is boring. Come with me to the Twilight Cloud Forest to catch spirit beasts. If we catch a talented one, we can earn a few bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid."


    "Tsk, you''re only catching low level spirit beasts, at most one fetches ten gold coins. And you''re lucky if you catch one in a day, don''t think I don''t know."


    In the end, the two Blaze family members were about to quarrel, and the surrounding young people burst into laughter. Regret also had a gentle smile on his face. The cohesion among the Blaze family members was remarkably strong.


    The spirit masters in Veloria City knew that the Blaze family had only appeared here about a dozen years ago, as newcomers. Back then, the local power, the Snow family, was naturally unhappy. But after being collectively taught a lesson by the Blaze clan several times, they eventually accepted the Blaze family''s presence here.


    However, friction had never been absent in recent years.


    "Hehe, finally, today has come. With this bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid, and the few bottles I''ve saved up for the past few months, I should be able to advance my Golden bird to the next level." sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Blaze Tom, lend me yours. I''ve been wandering in the Twilight Cloud Forest for days with no gains. I''m so desperate."


    "Go away, how can I lend it to you? For the sake of buying a book on body refining techniques, my Green Vine Monster hasn''t tasted the flavor of Spirit Condensation Liquid for a long time."


    From the mouths of these young men and women, it is not difficult to hear the importance of Spirit Condensation Liquid for the practice of spirit beasts. Only Regret has little desire for this medicinal liquid, while others are eagerly seeking it.


    However, at present, Regret has not planned to refine Azure Spirit Liquid for the clan. This is not because he is stingy. The appearance of a new type of medicine will undoubtedly cause a stir in Veloria City. By then, it is feared that not only the Snow family but also other several families will force the Blaze family to hand over the prescription. This is not what Regret wants to see.


    "Why hasn''t the Second Elder come yet? I still have tasks to do later."


    "I''m not sure, maybe he went to the warehouse to get us Spirit Condensation Liquid."


    Except for Regret and Qistina, the others are still unaware that there have been changes in the clan''s internal affairs elders.


    "He''s here, he''s here."


    Seeing the flickering figure in the distance, the place instantly quieted down, and Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Who is this person; it seems like he''s not the Second Elder."


    "I don''t know. Ask Regret; he''s always in the clan."


    Walking slowly to the front, Kartis Kai scanned the surroundings and smiled, saying, "I''m Kartis Kai from the Kartis family. Elder Blaze Peter is not here for some reason. From now on, I will be in charge of internal affairs for the Blaze family."


    The young people of the Blaze family, after glancing at Kartis Kai, indifferently withdrew their gazes, unconcerned about who the elder overseeing internal affairs was. As long as they obtained the Spirit Condensing Liquid, that was all that mattered.


    "Kartis family, huh."


    A few voices of disdain quietly emerged, mostly from those who had witnessed Kartis Van''s ugly face days before.


    "Elder Kartis Kai, hurry up, many people have things to do." Blaze Tot, who had invited Regret to Bloodstone Pass, was the first to speak. The Blaze family tradition dictated that those in charge of specific affairs were given the title of elder. Only the patriarch Blaze Ash and the second elder Blaze Peter were truly recognized.


    "Alright, from now on, my grandson Kartis Man will be in charge of distributing the Spirit Condensing Liquid. kartis Man, come over here."


    Waving towards the back, Kartis Kai walked towards the outskirts of the area with a meaningful smile on his face before leaving.


    "Cousin, Kartis Man seems to be looking for trouble," Qistina frowned slightly.


    Seeing Kartis Man approaching with a smile, Regret felt no sense of urgency but rather a growing interest. He was eager to see what kind of tricks Kartis Man would play.


    Glancing at the younger generation of the Blaze family, Kartis Man''s smile intensified. He had yet to find anyone stronger than himself among them. With his eighth grade spiritual beast and the highest grade being Blaze Tot''s seventh grade Blue Flame Beast, Kartis Man felt a sense of superiority.


    Blaze Family? Just so so!

 Chapter 24 - 24 Got Targeting 1

    Big Brother Kartis Van is really overthinking it. Just a small family, an existence that can be easily crushed by just moving a finger. If not for the empire''s regulations, the Kartis family could easily overthrow the Blaze Family. When that time comes, looking for that thing again will be like a walk in the park.


    "Ha!"


    Thinking of this, Kartis Man patted his waist, and a purplish black stone appeared in front of him, spinning around.


    "It''s a Void Realm Stone!"


    The younger generation of the Blaze Family flashed with surprise in their eyes, not expecting Kartis Man to have such a rare item.


    "Ignorant, making a fuss."


    With a light hum in his mouth, Kartis Man flicked his fingers, and bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid shimmered out from the Void Realm Stone, floating in the air.


    "Swoosh!"


    In an instant, under Kartis Man''s control, bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid flew in front of everyone, while the Void Realm Stone returned to Kartis Man''s waist like a small ornament.


    "Let''s go. Finally got it. Blaze Tot, when my Xuanjin Bird''s strength improves, we must have a good fight."


    "No problem, just afraid you won''t show up." Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The tribe members who obtained the Spirit Condensing Liquid did not hesitate at all, they turned and walked in different directions. They all had tasks at hand, returning to their tribes, just a routine activity.


    "Just a moment!"


    Qistina''s slightly annoyed voice suddenly sounded, causing the departing tribe members to halt and quickly return.


    "What''s the matter?" Blaze Tot looked puzzled at Qistina.


    "Why doesn''t my cousin Regret have one?" Qistina''s face was ice cold as she stared at Kartis Man. Each member of the Blaze family present had been given a bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid except for Regret.


    Rubbing his face with his palm, Regret showed no signs of anger but instead smiled faintly. The methods of the Kartis family were still so rudimentary that even he found it somewhat unbearable.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Tot furrowed his brows and shifted his gaze to Kartis Man.


    "We only had this much stock in the warehouse, there''s nothing I can do about it." Kartis Man chuckled and shrugged, but his gaze was fixed on Regret.


    "That''s impossible, the warehouse strictly allocates goods according to the number of people. Last night, the second elder had already checked." A Blaze family member immediately spoke up.


    "How forgetful of me, there''s still one more bottle." Kartis Man slapped his forehead, looking remorseful before taking out a bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid from the Void Realms stone.


    Looking at the Spirit Condensing Liquid in Kartis Man''s hand, the expressions of the members of the Blaze family all subtly changed. This bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid only had half the dosage, with impurities suspended inside, resembling a semi useless liquid!


    "Young Master Blaze, I''m truly sorry, this is the only bottle we have. Come over and take it," Kartis Man shook the small bottle in his hand, smiling mischievously, his words filled with playful meaning.


    Looking at Kartis Man holding half a bottle of spirit condensing liquid, everyone present couldn''t help but furrow their brows slightly. By now, everyone understood that Kartis Man was deliberately targeting Regret.


    "What do you mean?" Blaze Tot''s face turned grim as he stared at Kartis Man, his eyes filled with coldness. A blue flame gradually rose around him, with the faint silhouette of a spirit beast flickering within. This spirit beast had a horn on its forehead, light blue eyes, and palm sized wings flapping behind it, it was his contracted spirit beast, the Blue Flame Beast.


    "I don''t mean anything. You all saw it too. In my Void Realm stone, I only have this bottle of Spirit condensing spirit liquid left. Although the dosage is insufficient, at least it is a top grade elixir." Kartis Man smiled and looked at Regret. He had a clear understanding of the situation in Blaze Family.


    With Regret''s strength, if he didn''t take this bottle of spirit condensing liquid, there would be no other source of elixirs for him.


    This move could be described as ruthless. Without timely replenishment of elixirs, the cultivation speed of novice grade spirit beasts would be at least one level slower than that of other spirit masters. The consequences of falling behind at the starting line were all too clear to every spirit master.


    It could be fatal.


    "Regret, come and take it quickly. I can apply for another one next month and give you two." Kartis Man casually shook the bottle of spirit condensing liquid in his hand, mixing the residue with the elixir.


    Two bottles?


    Many people present cursed in their hearts. Even if he were to give three bottles, it wouldn''t make up for the losses of this month. Two bottles were useless!


    "Regret, my Blue Flame Beast is already at the seventh rank. The effect of the Spirit condensing liquid is not significant anymore. You might as well use this bottle." Blaze Tot hesitated for a moment before handing the Spirit condensed liquid to Regret.


    Seeing this, Kartis Man''s expression changed imperceptibly. If Regret were to accept it, then his efforts today would have been in vain!


    Gently pressing Blaze Tot''s palm, Regret glanced calmly at Kartis Man who was shaking the spirit Condensing Liquid in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly and he smiled, saying, "As a collateral descendant of the Kartis family, you probably don''t have many resources at your disposal. Consider this vial of Spirit Condensing Liquid as a gift for our meeting."


    Regret emphasized the words "collateral descendant" particularly.


    As soon as these words were spoken, Kartis Man''s eyes turned cold. His hand holding the medicine bottle also stiffened in mid air. Being assigned to the Blaze family by Kartis Van at will indicated his low status within the Kartis family. He wanted to impress Kartis Van in order to gain more resources within the family. Regret''s words undoubtedly struck a nerve with him!


    "Blaze Regret, don''t you feel ashamed to use the resources of your clansmen for the advancement of your spiritual beast?" Kartis Man stared straight at Regret, his gaze piercing like a drawn sword.

 Chapter 25 - 25 Got Targeting 2

    "I never said I would use them." Regret shrugged helplessly. Kartis Man''s way of thinking was truly incomprehensible to ordinary people.


    "Ugh."


    The bored Red let out a low growl and fell asleep with a pout, leaving many speechless. Here, your spiritual master is being provoked by someone, yet here you are, not even raising an eyelid.


    "Do you not realize the significant impact missing out on nurturing the spirit Condensing Liquid can have on the growth of your spiritual beast?" kartis Man''s eyes twitched slightly at the corner as he gazed at Regret gently pushing back Blaze Tot''s hand. He spoke in a deep voice.


    "So what?" Regret sneered unapologetically.


    "Don''t forget you are the young master of the Blaze family. Although your main spiritual beast is useless, if your strength doesn''t improve, it will damage the reputation of the Blaze family." Kartis Man''s internal anger had reached its peak by now. If Regret still didn''t respond after all this, he would completely lose face!


    The tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and on the flaming claws, clusters of flames rose up, emitting a scorching heat that spread out. But in the next moment, it laid back down comfortably, even smacking its lips as if the one who was called useless earlier wasn''t itself.


    "Preferring death with dignity to life full of suffering, the members of the Blaze family are truly disappointing," Kartis Man said each word with a thick hint of sarcasm in his eyes.


    "Ah." Regret casually replied, stroking the head of Red without any expression change, but then he flipped his palm, revealing a bottle of Spirit Condensing Liquid, saying, "You''d better put away that bottle of yours. I have other medical, and it''s not inferior to yours."


    "What?" Blaze Tot and others were shocked. Just as they were about to speak, Regret uncorked the bottle, and a rich fragrance filled the area.


    "The scent is a bit different, but it is undoubtedly a medical liquid and its medical properties are extremely potent," Blaze Tot affirmed after a moment of hesitation.


    Although they didn''t know where Regret''s medicine came from, they only needed to know that today it was Kartis Man who lost face, and that was enough!


    "So, do you think what you have in your hand can surpass my bottle of medicinal liquid?" Regret raised his head with a cold smile.


    With an awkward gesture, Kartis Man held the bottle of medicine in his hand, unsure whether to put it away or keep holding it.


    "Is there anything else? If not, then you should leave. I''m quite busy," Regret glanced at Kartis Man indifferently.


    Gritting his teeth, the angry Kartis Man was about to fiercely throw the spirit condensimg liquid in his hand on the ground, but the dozens of eyes staring at him made him have to abandon this idea. He had no doubt that if he really threw it down, his fate would not be much better than the Spirit condensing liquid in his hand.


    "Hmph, just you wait!" S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Putting the spirit condensing liquid into the empty void realms stone, Kartis Man turned around with a grim face, his tightly clenched hand in his sleeve constantly trembling.


    "He really thinks highly of himself. I don''t know what the head of the family was thinking, actually entrusting the family''s internal affairs to an outsider."


    "Exactly, but it''s really satisfying. The young master is amazing, just a few words and he''s left speechless."


    "Let''s hurry and leave. I still have to deliver goods to the Sun family. That brat Kartis Man has delayed me, and I''m almost running late."


    "Nonsense, don''t think I don''t know. You have your eyes on Sun Ain, right? This kid is quite capable, faster than anyone in taking action!"


    The members of the Blaze family present waved their hands at Regret and quickly dispersed. In an instant, the scene was gone.


    "Don''t you have anything to do?" Regret looked at Qistina beside him and asked in confusion.


    "Well, I just completed a task and received a reward of fifty gold coins. Coupled with what I''ve saved over these years, I want to try my luck outside and see if I can buy some Wood Spirit Fruits." Qistina playfully blinked her eyes.


    With a sudden thought, Regret remembered that today was the day the Veloria City market opened. Many vendors and idle spirit masters would bring out their treasures to trade, in exchange for desired items, with a scale that might even surpass the Atlas Store.


    Walking down the spacious streets, the area ahead quickly became lively with people moving about. This level of market only took place once a month in Veloria City, and the location was within the protection range of the Blaze Family. There were rarely any troublemaking spirit masters who dared to cause problems here, and those with such history had long disappeared from Veloria City.


    On the street, many Blaze family members stationed there nodded slightly in respect upon seeing Regret.


    "Qistina, you go ahead and explore here first. If you come across the Wood Spirit Fruit, try to find a way to stay even if you don''t have enough gold coins on you," Regret smiled.


    The Wood Spirit Fruit was a peculiar fruit with a price of around 180 gold coins, which shouldn''t be a problem given the amount of gold coins Qistina had on her.


    However, in the context of the four major families, the Blaze Family was the strictest towards young clan members. To hone their skills, the family would not offer any assistance, which was why the young people seemed so poor.


    Nevertheless, the effectiveness of this requirement was evident. The Blaze family members, regardless of age or gender, were all impressive individuals.


    "Cousin, do you need something?" Qistina blinked her watery eyes in confusion.


    "Yes." Pointing to the distant Atlas Store, Regret said, "I go trade something there."


    Nodding obediently, Qistina didn''t ask further questions and headed towards a stall filled with spiritual herbs and medicinal materials. Seeing this, Regret walked away.


    Before coming, he had already filled five small bottles with Azure Spirit Liquid. How much gold they could fetch would depend on fate. Hopefully, it wouldn''t disappoint anyone.

 Chapter 26 - 26 Azure Bird Rapid Evolution 1

    Regret greeted Mark and headed towards the dept of the upper bunk as if he know the way well. The quantity of Azure Spirit Liquid he intended to trade this time was not small, and the unit price was definitely much higher than that of Spirit Condensing Liquid. These peripheral merchants simply did not have the capability to handle it.


    "High quality sixth order fire attribute spirit Core, only ten gold coins, limited quantity, first come, first served!"


    "Body movement type spirit technique, Wind Soaring Step, refined to the extreme, can briefly stay in mid air, come over and take a look if you want!"


    As he entered deeper, the noisy voices surged like a tide into Regret''s mind, making him slightly dizzy. After a while, he gradually adapted to it.


    Here, it was much deeper than the last time he had come.


    "Young man, do you need anything?"


    Rejecting a spirit technique merchant with eyes shining, Regret scanned the layout inside and finally stopped in the south. Clearly, that was the place specially for selling elixirs, with dense Spirit Condensing Liquid placed on the shelves. Among them were many small boxes containing genuine elixirs, which were completely on a different level compared to Spirit Condensing Liquid in terms of price.


    The merchants who could have shelves in Thousand Herbs Hall were of high status, with much more gold coins in their hands compared to those small vendors outside.


    Absorbed in observing which shop looked more wealthy and powerful, Regret naturally did not notice that not far from him, a red-l clothed young lady was quietly sizing him up. Her charming face was pure and lovely, and her eyes were as clear as spring water.


    "Miss, that seems to be Blaze Regret from the Blaze family," the maid beside the young lady reminded.


    "Blaze Regret, it seems that you are not as unbearable as rumors suggest." The corner of the girl''s mouth lifted with a faint smile, momentarily captivating the male spirit masters around her.


    This girl is Sky Diana, the only daughter of the Sky family head, Sky Rodzi, pampered since childhood with beauty that undoubtedly ranks high in Veloria. Comparing to Qistina Blaze, she even outshines.


    "Here it is."


    Decided, Regret approached a merchant with a decent appearance, taking out a bottle of Azure Spirit Liquid from his bag and placing it gently on the counter.


    As the merchant was about to ask what he needed, he stopped himself, frowning, picking up the bottle of Azure Spirit Liquid and examining it.


    "What is this?" Glancing at Regret, the merchant couldn''t resist asking after a moment.


    "Azure Spirit Liquid, obtained by chance during my wilderness training, five bottles in total. Take a look and see how much it''s worth in gold." Regret calmly replied. It was risky enough to sell five bottles at once, even with the backing of the Blaze family.


    A spirit master novice holding many precious elixirs? Who would believe there no secret involved!


    "Azure Spirit Liquid? I don''t think I''ve heard of it." The merchant shook his head slightly, observing for a while before placing the bottle back on the counter.


    "It has the same effect as Spirit Condensing Liquid, used to enhance spirit beasts, but its potency surpasses the latter. One bottle is roughly equivalent to two of those." Regret chuckled.


    "What, this thing can also enhance spiritual beasts?"


    "Moreover, its effect is even better than the Spirit Condensing Liquid. How is that possible? It''s probably a scam!"


    When Regret''s words came out, a commotion immediately erupted around him. In the next moment, many spirit master gathered around, mostly spirit novice, and even a few spirit warrior. This was enough to prove how powerful the temptation of the potion that could enhance spiritual beasts was for spirit master.


    "A new type of potion to enhance spiritual beasts? I''ve never seen it. Could it be that a new alchemist has arrived in Veloria City?" Sky Diana stood outside the crowd, her eyes flashing.


    "Miss, should we go over and take a look?" The little maid servant encouraged her. It was easy to see that the two had a good relationship, with no distance between them as master and servant.


    "Forget it, we''ll go buy a bottle after he sells it." Sky Diana shook her head with a smile.


    "How can this be proven?"


    Behind the counter, the merchant also felt a hint of curiosity. He held a skeptical attitude towards the potion. If it wasn''t as powerful as Regret claimed, he wouldn''t proceed with the transaction at all.


    A merchant always prioritizes profit in every situation, and his main source of income is the price difference between potions. Making a loss once would take a long time to recover from.


    "Prove it?"


    Regret felt a little troubled. In the end, he gritted his teeth and a resolute look flashed in his eyes. After all, as long as he had enough materials, he could refine the Azure Spirit Liquid again. Besides, he had plenty of them in his bag, so let''s just waste a bottle for now.


    "Is there a first tier spiritual beast?" Regret looked up at the vendor. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Yes!"


    As if understanding Regret''s intention, a spirit master in the crowd shouted loudly, then silently chanted as a faint bluish spiritual array quickly took shape. A delicate azure bird flew out from it and landed in his palm.


    "Hehe, little brother, this is the azure bird I just formed a contract with a few days ago, conveniently a first tier. I haven''t had time to advance it, so you can use it temporarily."


    Seeing this scene, many people inwardly cursed at the despicability. Among so many people nearby, he was the quickest to act, and some hadn''t even reacted yet.


    Accepting the azure bird, Regret nodded slightly. For many spirit master, advancing their main spiritual beast is extremely difficult, leaving no energy to advance other contracted spiritual beasts unless they encounter more valuable ones. Therefore, many spirit master only have one spiritual beast that matches their own strength.


    This is also known as the spirit master''s Leader spiritual beast.

 Chapter 27 - 27 Azure Bird Rapid Evolution 2

    "Hey, Karthik, are you being way too careless? If something happens, where will you go to cry?" Looking at the Azure Spirit liquid placed by Regret, a thin lipped female spirit master beside the person who had just given the azure bird couldn''t help but mock, her eyes filled with suspicion.


    Shifting his gaze, Regret looked at the spirit master who spoke.


    "What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong? You probably haven''t even used this elixir. You are here looking for a scapegoat for your experiments, despicable!" As she met Blaze Regret''s eyes, the female spirit master seemed to have already figured out his thoughts and couldn''t help but feel smug in her words.


    "Do you want to continue?" Ignoring the female spirit master, Regret scanned towards Karthik.


    "Let''s continue, anyway it''s not a cherished spirit beast!" Gritting his teeth, Karthik said fiercely.


    "Hmph, if you don''t listen to me, be prepared to suffer, kid. Your scheme succeeded, put in more effort in your performance. If you end up killing Karthik''s Azure bird, I''ll twist your head off." The female spirit master provocatively coldly snorted.


    "Splash!"


    Under the curious gaze of many, Regret took the wooden basin already filled with water, opened the bottle of Azure Spirit liquid, carefully dripped the medicine into the basin, and the color of the liquid in the basin quickly changed.


    "Chirp!"


    The Azure bird is a wood attribute spirit beast and doesn''t have much resistance to water. With the signal from its spirit master, it jumped into the basin by itself.


    "Bang!" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In less than ten breaths, small water columns splashed from the basin, leaving the surrounding spirit master stunned.


    "Is it evolving already?"


    "Am I seeing this correctly? It''s only been a short while, and not even a tenth of the medicine in the basin has been absorbed!"


    Regret shook his head inwardly, but karthik was extremely excited when he handed the Azure bird''s, feeling like he had gained a huge advantage.


    "This medicinal liquid actually has such a great effect." The vendor, who was also watching the changes in the Azure bird, raised his eyebrows slightly and began to calculate the price in his mind.


    "Bang!"


    As the last trace of Azure disappeared, the wings of the Azure bird clearly extended a bit, instantly moving from second rank to third rank!


    "We''ve hit the jackpot!"


    The spirit master excitedly reached out his hand, allowing the Azure bird to land on his palm, then looked at Regret with burning eyes and patted his chest, saying, "Little brother, my name is Karthik. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to come find me."


    Spirit warrior master in Veloria City had the qualifications to say this, as long as they didn''t provoke the three major families and the Angsana Pavilion, they could live freely.


    Smiling and nodding, Regret ignored the female spirit master who looked extremely unpleasant and turned his gaze to the impatient vendor. With a wave of his hand, he placed the remaining four bottles of Azure Spirit Liquid on the counter.


    "Now, let''s talk about the price."


    "Little brother, why talk about price? It''s 120 gold coins per bottle, just sell it to me directly!" A spirit master novice exclaimed immediately.


    "Forget it, just 120 gold coins, dreaming if you think you can buy this kind of medicine. I''ll offer 150 gold coins."


    Everyone present already understood the medicinal properties of Azure Spirit Elixir, which were far superior to the double spirit condensing liquid mentioned by Regret earlier. Moreover, after the Azure Bird used it, there was no sign of scattered spiritual power. With such a good thing, no one was willing to let it go!


    "Little brother, what do you think..."


    The vendor, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at Regret with a wry smile. He wasn''t just after these few bottles of Azure Spirit Elixir; it was the significance of this new medicine that appeared for the first time in Veloria City.


    Especially for a pill seller like him, he usually had connections with some alchemists. If he could analyze the pill formula for Azure Spirit Elixir, then he would make a big profit!


    "How much can you offer?" Regret smiled and looked at the vendor.


    "200 gold coins per bottle!" Gritting his teeth, the vendor took out a large bag of coins from the counter, slammed it on the table, and stared straight at Regret.


    "Deal."


    Regret put the heavy gold coins into his pouch, filled with joy in his heart.


    Alchemists truly are the most profitable profession!


    In his heart, Regret hummed softly, shouldered his cloth bag, gently touched the sleeping Red on his shoulder, turned around and left. The spirit masters around him gazed at Red''s figure with envy.


    Eight hundred gold coins were already the entire possessions for many spirit masters.


    "Did he really just happen to obtain it?"


    Flicking the azure spiri liquid bought at a high price by her maid, the green liquid rotated like a whirlpool. After careful observation, a strange light flashed in Sky Diana''s eyes: "Seems like something is off."


    "What''s wrong?" The maid was puzzled.


    "It''s nothing, maybe as a wind attribute spirit master, I''m just too sensitive to the smell of the liquid."


    Sky Diana shook her head with a smile, not explaining much: "Let''s go, let''s go check out the spirit technique area. My spiritual power should be enough to learn some low level spirit technique."


    "Okay, let''s go."


    "Kid, quite mischievous." Just as Regret reached the door, Mark, playing with the gold coins, suddenly chuckled.


    "Elder, you haven''t figured out something else again, have you?"


    Looking at the ancient screen behind Mark, Regret felt slightly regretful. He had been too focused on selling the azure spirit liquid earlier, completely forgetting about this peculiar spiritual beast. If Mark had any ill intentions, he probably wouldn''t even know how he would have died.


    He still hasn''t completely trusted Mark, especially before his own strength is strong enough.


    "Heh, those golden balls wrapped in linen in your cloth bag are quite interesting." Mark smiled as he flicked one of the golden coins in his hand, making it spin smoothly on the table.

 Chapter 28 - 28 Angsana Pavillion Festival

    "Don''t be nervous, even if you don''t enter the Atlas Shop, I can still clearly see what''s happening within three miles." Mark pointed to the painted folding screen behind him.


    "Elder, I..."


    Regret was about to explain when he saw Mark stand up and beckon him, saying, "Come here, I can help you with your things."


    After a moment of contemplation, Regret followed Mark. After all, this was Veloria City, and besides the other two major families, no one else dared to make a move against him.


    Moreover, Mark had previously given him a spirit crystal, which was not much cheaper than the Azure spirit liquid in the package.


    "Is this thing refined from the Simulated Alchemisy Cauldron?"


    In a room filled with books, Mark examined a golden ball in his hand, observing the liquid inside with a peculiar look in his eyes.


    "I can''t hide it from the elder."


    Regret is completely convinced. It is said that Atlas Shop comes from the Empire, and the power behind the Angsana Pavilion is even more terrifying. Concealing infront such a strong person is obviously unwise.


    "Regret, can you tell me where this thing actually comes from?" Mark suddenly looked at Regret.


    "This¡­"


    "Don''t feel pressured. I''m just casually asking. Let''s talk about business. These golden ball, one thousand gold coins each, I''ll buy them all."


    "Okay." Regret this time did not show any difficulty, readily agreed. Mark''s offer seemed lower than the merchant''s, but he didn''t mind. Being able to sell them promptly was already very good.


    More importantly, the reason the price he sold at was high earlier was because of the scarcity. If he were to put out all the Azure spirit liquid at once, the value would likely decrease significantly.


    "This is my gold coin card. By the way, put these gold coins in it too."


    Regret conveniently took out the heavy gold coins from the package. The attendant who came over respectfully took the two items. When he returned, apart from returning the gold coin card to Regret, he also gently placed a cup of tea water next to Regret.


    "Manager Mark, do you have any void realms stones here?" Regret suddenly remembered something and asked.


    "Coincidentally, i have one." Mark chuckled lightly, tossed a hexagonal stone lightly, and it floated in front of Regret, emitting a slight sound of breaking wind as it rotated.


    "Price?" Regret scratched his head and asked.


    "Let''s say ten thousand gold coins."


    Upon hearing this, Regret showed a troubled expression. His current assets totaled only eight thousand gold coins, two thousand short of the price Mark had quoted.


    "Then eight thousand it is," Mark smiled.


    "Your gold coin card."


    Receiving the now empty gold coin card and the empty void realm stone from the assistent, Regret was still in a daze. Mark''s attitude towards him was just too strange, first gifting him a spirit crystal, and now waiving two thousand gold coins!


    "Regret, have you ever heard of the Angsana Pavilion Festival?" Mark asked seriously, finally getting to the main point.


    "Angsana Pavilion Festival, I think I''ve heard of it," Regret mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. At this moment, Red also finally woke up. With a turn of its body and a yawn, it lazily leaned against Regret''s neck.


    "You should know that in Veloria City, the Angsana Pavillion has sent representatives to several enterprises, not just the Atlas Shop. Apart from us, there are two other stores, and the competition is very fierce."


    Regret nodded slightly; he was aware of these matters.


    "And to avoid internal strife, Angsana Pavillion will dispatch people in three months to organize a trial. The winner will command the other two stores, and I believe I don''t need to explain the benefits involved," Mark said, looking at Regret with a meaningful gaze.


    "You wouldn''t want me to go, right?" Regret was somewhat helpless and amused. He had heard of the rules of the Angsana Pavillion Festival before. Every three years, in each city, a festival was held to test which shop stood more firmly within the city.


    During the Angsana Pavillion Festival, each shop would choose three spirit master novices from the city to go to specific locations to pick medicinal herbs. The total value of the herbs would determine which shop was stronger. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, the chosen spirit master novices were usually close to becoming spirit warrior, but Regret was far behind.


    "My old rival, the Golden Flame Shop, has already reached an agreement with the Snow family. Snow Amar from the Snow family is already an eighth rank spirit novice. It will be very difficult to defeat him."


    Snow Amar was Snow Feng''s older brother.


    An eighth rank spirit novice meant that his leading spirit beast had already reached the eighth rank, making him very powerful among the younger generation in Veloria City.


    "But I''m only a fourth rank spirit novice now." Regret shook his head helplessly. The outcome of a fourth rank facing an eighth rank could already be anticipated.


    "You still have three months. With your upgrading speed, I think your chances of winning are not small." Mark raised his teacup, moistening his dry lips before smiling.


    "These two thousand gold coins are my reward." He continued tempting Regret, "And after winning, Angsana Pavillion will also grant rewards. Those things are not easily found in Veloria City."


    "Let''s do it!"


    Regret''s expression turned fierce. He refused to believe that with his Master Magi at his side, he would not be able to catch up with Snow Amar in three months!


    "Screw this, why did I agree so easily!" Regret, stepping out of the Atlas shop, his face full of sorrow, completely lost the determined look he had just moments ago.


    "If I had known earlier, I should have said I needed to consider it more. That guy Snow Amar, just like Snow Feng, they are not good people."


    Muttering to himself, Regret had only taken a few steps when his expression suddenly changed, a bear like strong arm swiftly gripped his neck with a sound tearing through the air.

 Chapter 29 - 29 Threat 1

    "Young brother, don''t make a sound." A heavy voice came from behind, carrying a strong sense of threat into Blaze Regret''s ears.


    Quickly nodding,Blaze Regret, looking innocent, was forcibly dragged by the big man behind him. In fact, at the moment he left the shop, he had already sensed someone tracking him. He had considered slipping away using the Flames step technique, but eventually decided to give up.


    The explosive power of a Spirit warrior far exceeds that of a Spirit novice, making it impossible to escape without creating distance first.


    "Brother, what do you want?" Blaze Regret, in the alley, looked at the tall man in front of him with a sullen face.


    "Tell me honestly, where did those bottles of elixir of yours come from?" The big man leaned in front of Blaze Regret, a ferocious expression on his face, tinged with a hint of savagery.


    "Hey, I already told you, I obtained them by chance, I only have six bottles in total. Such precious things, you think they are commonplace goods? Whatever quantity you want." Blaze Regret spread his hands, realizing that this guy had come for the Azure Spirit Elixir.


    The big man showed a look of disappointment, then his voice turned even more fierce: "Hand over all the gold coins on you, otherwise, today you will become a pile of bones in this alley!"


    "Big brother, it takes at least several decades to turn into a dry bones. You don''t even have this common sense," Blaze Regret sighed, looking like he was giving advice, which appeared very irritating to the big man.


    "Showing no face even when given a face!"


    The big man''s expression changed suddenly, clenching his fist, surging with faint spiritual power, fiercely striking towards Blaze Regret''s face. Obviously, the latter had successfully provoked his anger.


    Even without summoning a spirit beast, a spirit master warrior''s strike is enough to blast a spirit master novive''s head.


    "Hey, I advise you not to act, or it''s hard to say who will be lying here today." Blaze Regret pointed upwards, sounding somewhat helpless.


    "I advise you to mind your own business!" The big man remained unfazed, focused on eliminating Blaze Regret to claim the 800 gold coins from the trade deal entirely. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Listen to him, it''s best for you."


    In the instant before the fist touched Blaze Regret''s nose, a slightly sinister voice came from above, causing his expression to change abruptly.


    "Who''s there!"


    Raising his head, the big man''s pupils suddenly constricted, as he saw dozens of indifferent-looking youths standing on the high wall, each with a thunder eagle perched on their shoulders. An emblem with the same design hung on their chests, bearing words like burning flames.


    Blaze!


    This emblem, familiar to all spirit masters in Veloria City, is the unique emblem of the Blaze family.


    "Big brother, I didn''t know we couldn''t kill here. How about I take him outside?" Cold sweat formed on the big man''s forehead.


    Every member of the Blaze family coming will have at least the strength of a Spirit warrior, and only Spirit Masters worrior are qualified to guard the ancient Veloria City. Those with lower strength can only stay in remote places like the mountains.


    On the city wall, the young man in charge stuffs a piece of dried meat into the mouth of the Thunder Eagle without even looking at the big man. The Thunder Eagle on his shoulder has eyes as sharp as a sword.


    "Brother, this kid has 800 gold coins in his bag. After we kill him, all these coins will be yours, I guarantee no one else will know!" The big man felt even more anxious and just wanted to leave quickly.


    Everyone knows that among the four major families, the Blaze family is the most ruthless, especially these guards. When it comes to killing, they show no mercy at all.


    Therefore, within the jurisdiction of the Blaze family, either don''t cause trouble, or if you do, leave the city quickly!


    "You say he has 800 gold coins?" The young man in charge finally showed some interest in his eyes, and glanced subtly at Blaze Regret from the corner of his eye.


    "I saw it with my own eyes. This kid doesn''t know what kind of luck he had. After finding a few precious potions and selling them, he ended up with 800 gold coins!" Talking about it, the big man felt a pang of regret; a windfall slipped away just like that.


    But as long as he could escape, what did it matter if Blaze Regret lived or died?


    That''s why he tried to tempt the young man, hoping to arouse their greed so that he could escape while they were busy killing Blaze Regret.


    "Such good fortune?" The young man looked at Blaze Regret sideways, his eyes showing some disbelief.


    "If there''s nothing else, I''ll leave first." The big man leaned against the wall, quietly adjusting his position, his gaze towards Blaze Regret like looking at a dead man, with a hint of gloating deep in his eyes.


    "Don''t talk about all this nonsense. Get on with your business."


    With an angry shout, Blaze Regret waved at Red sticking out its tongue on the high wall. Upon noticing someone tailing them, he had Red go inform the Blaze family''s guard team.


    Fortunately, the arrival was relatively timely.


    "Let me formally introduce myself. My surname is Blaze, and my name is Blaze Regret." Blaze Regret smiled as he shrugged at the suddenly stunned giant of a man.


    "You... You are..." The giant man''s vision went dark for a moment. He only knew the names of some of the untouchable figures in Veloria City and had no idea what they looked like! Little did he know that kidnapping just anyone could be quite deadly.


    "What, don''t want my gold coins?" Blaze Regret smiled.


    "I was blind not to see Mount Tai, it was a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!" The big man wiped the sweat on his forehead, his voice trembling slightly with fear.


    "If all were misunderstandings, there wouldn''t be so many deaths in Veloria City every year." Blaze Regret smirked, then changed his tone, saying, "Two choices, one thousand gold coins or leave your life spirit beast behind. Which one do you choose?"

 Chapter 30 - 30 Threat 2

    At these words, the big man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and took out a card from inside his clothes, saying with a bitter smile, "Young Master Blaze, let''s just let this matter go."


    Satisfied with the card, withdrawing one thousand gold coins, Blaze Regret glanced at the value of less than a hundred on it, threw the card to the big man, and said, "You still have a place to stay within Veloria City."


    "Thank you, Master Blaze."


    Cupping his hand, the big man shakily moved towards the outside of the alley. For any spirit practitioner without a background, a thousand gold coins was a deadly sum, but asking him to give up his lifebound spirit beast was out of the question.


    "Drip!"


    Just as the big man''s figure disappeared from view, a strange sound came from inside Blaze Khairul''s clothes. A snail sized object was taken out by Blaze Khairul, but apart from a few pearl like objects attached to the inside of the snail, it was already empty.


    Sound transmitting snails, the most common means of communication on the Spirit Beast Continent. By dripping a drop of each other''s slime into the shell, messages could be exchanged.


    Of course, this item consumes a lot of spiritual power, so even some spirit practitioners rarely use it.


    "Captain Blaze Khairul, there''s trouble over here. The guy from the Snow family is causing trouble for Miss Blaze Qistina. Should we get involved?"


    Without waiting for Blaze Khairul''s answer, a chilling look passed through Blaze Regret''s eyes: "Come with me."


    In today''s ancient Veloria City market, it was no different from previous days, the streets were still bustling.


    In addition to spiritual medicines and spiritual cores of various attributes, at every stall, there might be surprising discoveries, such as powerful spiritual technique, excellent quality spiritual beasts, and even some rare spiritual crystals that some people could find.


    More importantly, the prices of items sold at the market were much lower compared to those in the shops, so for some spiritual masters, each market day was an opportunity to improve their strength.


    "Wood Spirit Fruit, Wood Spirit Fruit, where are you?"


    In front of a stall, Blaze Qistina''s gaze carefully scanned through a pile of spiritual medicines, and finally, she couldn''t help but pout in disappointment.


    The Wood Spirit Fruit, a wood attribute top grade spiritual medicine, mostly grew on the Wood Spirit Tree in the deep mountains. A Wood Spirit Tree usually could only bear nine Wood Spirit Fruits, so even though it was of low rank, it was quite rare.


    "Found it!"


    Moving to a few more stalls, Blaze Qistina''s eyes suddenly lit up. In the corner of that stall, a green fruit was quietly lying there, emitting a faint green fluorescence.


    "Boss, how much for this Wood Spirit Fruit?" Blaze Qistina walked over in excitement, pointing to the Wood Spirit Fruit on the stall and asked, her voice slightly hurried due to excitement.


    "One fixed price, two hundred gold coins." Seeing Blaze Qistina''s eager expression, a hint of cunning flashed in the stall owner''s eyes.


    "Can''t you give me a little discount?" Blaze Qistina bit her red lips and stared at the stall owner with big watery eyes.


    "Oh, miss, you don''t know how rare this Wood Spirit Fruit is. When we found it, there happened to be a Grandmaster level Dry Grass Python nesting next to the Wood Spirit Tree. We had to put in a lot of effort to kill that Dry Grass Python to get this Wood Spirit Fruit." The stall owner splattered saliva as he described the dangerous scene.


    "Fine, I''ll pay the two hundred." Hastily avoiding the splattering saliva from the stall owner''s mouth, Blaze Qistina reluctantly took out a pouch containing two hundred gold coins and was about to give it to the stall owner.


    But suddenly, the Green Vine let out a cry, and its emerald vine rapidly extended, wrapping around the Wood Spirit Fruit.


    "Swish!"


    However, at that moment, a sharp earth blade shot out, cutting the Green Vine''s vine on the spot, and green blood splattered down in droplets. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Who?" Blaze Qistina''s face changed, anger showing on her pretty face.


    "Hehe, the Wood Spirit Fruit, a good thing, right boss? It''s two hundred gold coins, isn''t it?" Beside the half standing Centipede, Snow Feng walked over with a faint smile, casually throwing a pouch in front of the stall owner, about to grab the Wood Spirit Fruit at the corner of the stall.


    "Snow Feng, what do you mean by this? I saw it first!" Blaze Qistina angrily shouted. As the Green Vine retreated in pain, five or six emerald vines once again shot out with a crackling sound, piercing into the ground, creating a prison-like structure to protect the Wood Spirit Fruit.


    "You saw it first, but I paid first." Retracting his hand, Snow Feng''s face was full of provocation. The centipede body spun, and several earth blades again condensed and spun around it.


    "I have already discussed with the stall owner." Blaze Qistina remained calm and fearless, staring straight at Snow Feng. Though the green vine had taken a bit of damage, being a wood attribute spirit beast, its healing ability was strong. In a real fight, a third tier green vine still had some chance against a fourth tier centipede.


    Although that chance was really small.


    "Could it be that the younger generation of the Blaze family is as useless as that waste Blaze Regret, ignorant and arrogant!"


    Snow Feng sneered, scanning the surroundings, wanting to see if Blaze Regret was nearby. Previously, the spirit beast released by the elder unexpectedly died, which made him somewhat annoyed. It must have been discovered by the Blaze family''s law enforcement team. Otherwise, with the strength of the Earth split Scorpion, tearing apart Blaze Regret would be a piece of cake.


    "People from the Snow family have such foul mouths!" Blaze Qistina''s face turned slightly cold. The green vine moved, vines danced in the air, then with a sharp sound, violently pierced towards the centipede, the sharp tip shimmering.


    "Rock Armor!"


    Following Snow Feng''s command, the centipede''s body stiffened, the earth blades melted, turning into a hard layer of rock armor that quickly covered its whole body. The sharp vines pierced it, splattering a few dazzling sparks.

 Chapter 31 - 31 He Dared to Hit Me

    "Rock armor that only a fifth tier centipede can comprehend?" S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the battle unfolded, a group of spirit masters were attracted over, looking at the layer of rock on the centipede''s body, someone couldn''t help but softly exclaim.


    "Tier five?" Blaze Qistina was also shocked to see the situation. She quickly commanded the green vine to retreat in her mind. A third tier spirit against a fifth tier one had no chance of winning!


    "It''s too late!"


    A cruel smile appeared on Snow Feng''s face as he extended his right hand. Several spiritual seals surrounded it, and with a gentle tap towards the hundred leg centipede, he said, "Centipede split!"


    Centipede split was a unique spiritual skill of the hundred leg centipede, where hundreds of sharp long legs would swiftly cut, instantly shredding the opponent''s body!


    *Crack!*


    The hundred leg centipede wrapped its long vine around its green vine, twisted its body abruptly, and hundreds of long legs moved swiftly. The green vine instantly turned into a pile of vine fragments!


    *Splurt!*


    After the vine was severed, the green vine wriggled in a sorry state. Under the combined effect of the contract, Blaze Qistina''s face flushed with a touch of redness, a trace of blood flowing out from the corner of her mouth.


    "Tier five? This is too much!" In the distance, several white robed Blaze family members saw this scene, anger flashing in their eyes. They quickly summoned formations above their heads.


    "What are you doing?" The leader of the Blaze family members spoke in a cold voice, "The older generation should not intervene in the fights of the younger generation. Have you all forgotten?"


    "Captain, if we don''t stop him, that kid from the Snow family will surely kill the green vine!" Another Blaze family member spoke with bitterness.


    The death of a spiritual beast entails severe backlash for a spirit master. Within half a year, they cannot form a contract again!


    "By the way, it seems that Young Master Blaze Regret is nearby," someone muttered quietly.


    "Do you think it''s possible? Flame Cat against Centipede, besides being slaughtered, I really can''t think of any other outcome," the previous tribesman sighed and shook his head.


    "Inform Captain Blaze Khairul."


    "Bang!"


    The green vine fell to the ground, the place where the vine was previously extended was broken, green blood stained the ground, causing intense pain with convulsions all over, rolling on the ground like a ball.


    "Ah, the younger generation of the Blaze Family is really not doing well." Snow Feng picked up a wood spirit fruit, satisfied, and tossed it lightly: "Wood attribute spirit medicine, other than the Snow Family, it''s just a waste in the hands of others."


    Snow Feng himself is an earth attribute spirit master, but most of the Snow Family members, led by the Withered Wood Monster as the chief spirit beast, are considered a wood attribute family.


    "By the way, where is your cousin Blaze Regret? Is he scared and hiding somewhere secretly?" Snow Feng glanced at Blaze Qistina with a half smile.


    "Hehe, did you forget the miserable state you were in after being beaten before?" Blaze Qistina gently wiped away the traces of blood at the corner of her mouth and sneered.


    Blaze Regret had been suppressing his spiritual power for three years. Before achieving spiritual awakening, the spiritual power he possessed was undoubtedly the most powerful among the younger generation of the four major families. Snow Feng had always been the one Blaze Regret focused on taking care of.


    If anyone from the Blaze Family was bullied by Snow Feng, Blaze Regret would immediately rush over and beat them to a pulp.


    This matter has always been a joke among the spirit masters of Veloria City.


    "It''s all in the past. Now, does he dare to hit me?" Snow Feng disdainfully pursed his lips. This statement, if said a month ago, he probably wouldn''t have had the courage to say it so confidently. But ever since he found out that Blaze Regret''s spirit companion was the Flame Cat, he had completely lost any sense of fear.


    Especially last time, he had even seen with his own eyes the Flame Cat that Blaze Regret was carrying.


    "Kill!"


    With a focused mind, Snow Feng''s fierce gaze turned towards the green vine tendrils rolling on the ground. The centipede, upon receiving the command, shattered its rocky armor, returning to its peak speed, and was about to charge fiercely.


    "Come back!" Blaze Qistina hurriedly drew a formation, attempting to pull the green tendrils back into the spirit portal, but it was clear that time was running out!


    "It''s over!" Several members of the Blaze family slightly closed their eyes, unable to watch any longer.


    "Hey, I said, who said I wouldn''t dare to hit you now?"


    The indifferent voice of the young man pierced through the air. Before Snow Feng could react, he felt a fierce punch hitting his face hard.


    "Bang!"


    A deep muffled sound erupted as a huge force sent Snow Feng flying backward, stumbling back about a dozen steps before finally steadying his stance, a vivid reddish fist mark visible on his cheek.


    This scene unfolded in a flash, catching even some spirit masters off guard, as Snow Feng''s body had already moved far away from its original position.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Upon recognizing the figure still in a striking posture, many people exclaimed in surprise, their eyes shimmering with astonishment.


    "Cousin?"Blaze Qistina was momentarily stunned, then urged, "Quick, go! Snow Feng''s Hundred Foot Centipede has reached the fifth rank, even my Green Vine doesn''t stand a chance!"


    Fifth rank? Blaze Regret''s lips curved into a faint smile, but his gaze turned sharp as he beheld the pitiful state of the Green Vine.


    "Blaze Regret, you dare to come out?"


    The furious gaze fixed tightly on Blaze Regret, who was rubbing his fist. In Snow Feng''s heart, a hint of killing intent slowly surged.


    Just now, he was actually got punched by Blaze Regret and sent flying?!


    How is that possible!


    "Heh, he dares to hit me?"


    The bold words spoken not long ago still lingered in his ears. Snow Feng felt the pain on his cheeks and the strange gazes around him, causing his fist to tighten instantly.


    "Kill him!"

 Chapter 32 - 32 Instant Kill 1

    The spiritual seal wrapped around his fingers as Snow Feng suddenly pointed at Blaze Regret. It was clear that he truly intended to kill the latter on the spot!


    "Captain, should we intervene?" Seeing the return of Blaze Khairul, the younger generation of the Blaze family finally seemed to have found their backbone and quickly asked.


    "Let''s watch." Blaze Khairul didn''t say much, with a calm gaze turning towards the centipede swiftly changing its posture in the field.


    "This will be interesting to watch. I wonder who will come out on top between Snow Feng and Blaze Regret."


    "Nonsense, it must be Snow Feng. Who in Veloria City doesn''t know that Blaze Regret''s spiritual beast is just a useless spiritual beast?"


    "I also have high hopes for Snow Feng. Ah, the young master of the Blaze family is still full of youthful vigor. If he hides away, maybe this challenge wouldn''t have happened."


    Ignoring the whispers around him, Blaze Regret''s face slightly tilted as he softly said to Red, "Take it down, no problem, right?"


    Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Red let out a happy low murmur and, still maintaining a bewitching state, lightly jumped off Blaze Regret''s shoulder with a graceful movement.


    "Iron Blade!"


    With a low shout from Snow Feng, as the centipede swiftly advanced, two earthy yellow iron blades appeared floating above it and then crossed each other, shooting towards Red.


    The rock formed sharp blades gradually enlarged in his eyes, Red''s expression indifferent. With a swift swing of his furry Cat paw, sharp claws popped out with a sharp gust of wind and were rapidly wielded.


    Instantly, several blurry traces intertwined in front of Red.


    Speed Claw!


    Lightning fast, the iron blades were crushed by his claws. Red pressed his Cat tail to the ground, leaped up suddenly, and the body of the centipede that swung towards him harshly swept under from below his body.


    "Hundred Feet Rupture!"


    When the initial strike missed, the millipede''s body swiftly curled up. Hundreds of its blade like sharp legs flailed wildly, coiling towards Red like a snake capturing its prey.


    "Do you think you can match my sharpness?"


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret let out a cold laugh in his heart.


    The centipede''s rank was higher than Red''s, but don''t forget, the centipede was only a mid tier novice level spirit beast, whereas Red was a high tier novice level spirit beast!


    The difference in rank can sometimes more than make up for the gap in apparent strength!


    Red fur danced in the wind as Red''s eyes sharpened. With one grip of its Cat claws, searing flames wrapped around them, and then a claw slashed out. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Everyone could see a dazzling red gleam slicing through the centipede''s icy sharp legs!


    "Blaze Regret has gone mad?"


    Many spirit masters were dumbfounded. In a state of enchantment, Red, who was merely a fourth tier low level novice spirit beast, actually dared to confront the centipede head on!


    "Idiot." Snow Feng''s face revealed a disdainful smile. He seemed to have already envisioned Red''s claw being shredded into minced meat!


    "Crack!"


    However, the next moment left countless people in shock. They saw Red''s flaming claws slash down from mid air, and the centipede''s sharp legs, as fragile as thin paper, snapped in half with a crisp sound!


    The clear sound of metal breaking filled the air, forming a continuous stream!


    "How is this possible?"


    The smile that had just appeared on Snow Feng''s face froze instantly. Staring at the centipede''s severed legs flying in the air, he was momentarily at a loss for words.


    "Rock Armor!"


    The fierce roar rang out as the centipede disregarded the pain, immediately activating its rocky armor. The hardened rock shell covered its body, temporarily restraining the flowing blood.


    "Sizzle!"


    Sparks flew as the fiery claws scraped across the rocky armor, leaving a distinct white mark.


    "Blaze Regret, today I refuse to believe that you can break through the centipede''s rock armor!" Snow Feng growled in disbelief.


    A fifth tier centipede losing to a fourth tier flaming Cat? This reality was causing him to feel somewhat shattered.


    Especially since earth type spirit beasts had a slight advantage against fire type spirit beasts!


    "Rock armor, indeed troublesome." Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed as a pure white spirit mark appeared on his slender fingers. "But, it''s not impossible to break."


    The flame Cat stared fiercely at the petrified centipede, flames burning on both claws.


    "Swoosh!"


    Launching forward, the flaming claws relentlessly struck the centipede''s rocky armor, filling the air with crisp sounds.


    After a moment, the flames subsided, leaving the flame cat facing the unscathed centipede without even a scratch on its rocky armor!


    "Too bad." Many spiritual masters shook their heads secretly. The rock type spiritual beasts not only possessed powerful strength, but their defense far exceeded that of other elemental spiritual beasts, making it very difficult to defeat them.


    However, Blaze Regret was able to achieve this, which was already far beyond their expectations, even though this battle could only be considered a draw.


    "Haha, I told you, you can''t break the rock armor of the centipede!"


    Snow Feng laughed heartily, but in the next moment, his smile abruptly faded, replaced by a hint of paleness that surged onto his face.


    "What''s going on?" A member of the Blaze family couldn''t help but ask in a low voice while feeling relieved for Blaze Regret.


    "Snow Feng lost." Blaze Khairul, who was on the verge of breaking through to become a spirit Grandmaster, possessed far superior vision compared to ordinary spirit master warrior. At this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Snow Feng lost, how is that possible?" Some still couldn''t believe it.


    "Chi!"


    Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the rigid body of the centipede moved slightly, and dozens of bloodlines pierced through the rock armor, splattering in the air with a sharp sound!


    "Poof!" Snow Feng finally spat out a mouthful of blood. Obviously, this scene further confirmed the fact that the centipede had been severely injured!


    "Whoosh!"


    Astonished gasps erupted among the various spiritual masters, and incredulous gazes all turned towards the calm faced Blaze Regret, then slowly shifted towards the seemingly indifferent little flame cat.


    Blaze Regret actually won! And it was almost an instant kill!

 Chapter 33 - 33 Instant kill 2

    "You''re cheating!"


    Spitting out the last bit of blood from his mouth, Snow Feng stared fiercely at Blaze Regret, a hint of madness lingering in his eyes.


    "Stop the nonsense and hand over the stuff."


    Ignoring Snow Feng''s attempt to justify his failure, Blaze Regret extended his hand with a flat tone.


    "Go to hell!"


    As Blaze Regret''s voice fell, Snow Feng suddenly stomped on the ground, his figure bursting out violently, a gleaming sharp knife slipping into his palm.


    However, his target was not Blaze Regret, but Blaze Qistina not far away!


    "Despicable!"


    Blaze Khairul''s expression changed drastically, and strands of lightning energy immediately swirled around the wings of the Thunder Eagle. With a fierce flap, his figure turned into a golden streamer, swooping down.


    Although the Thunder Eagle''s speed was swift, Snow Feng''s speed was not slow either, especially since he also used body type spiritual arts!


    The scene in the arena made many onlookers, especially spirit masters, raise their eyebrows. Everyone knew that today''s challenge had escalated significantly!


    One wrong move, the Blaze Family and Snow Family, won''t have a good future!


    Looking at the approaching blade and Snow Feng''s cruel smile, Blaze Qistina was momentarily stunned there, feeling a bit at a loss.


    "Trash, truly just trash."


    A cold voice sounded, Blaze Regret''s figure moved, and under his feet, blazing flames suddenly surged.


    "Whoosh!"


    In a few flashes, Blaze Regret suddenly appeared in front of Snow Feng, his indifferent face making the latter''s cruel smile instantly solidify.


    "Get lost!"


    A low growl echoed, Blaze Regret''s right foot, carrying scorching flames, fiercely kicked Snow Feng in the chest. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    So, everyone could see that as Snow Feng ran, he was knocked back as if hit by a giant rock, flying out with a bang, sliding five or six meters along the ground before slowly coming to a stop.


    Watching this scene, many Spirit Masters secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even some Spirit master felt their scalps numb, not daring to say that they could withstand Blaze Regret''s kick without deploying any defensive Spirit Arts.


    "Uh, it seems I overreacted." Recalling the flying Thunder Eagle, Blaze Khairul murmured, his voice, for the first time, carrying a hint of seriousness.


    Among the people present, only he and a few Soul Masters could perceive just how majestic the spiritual power contained in Blaze Regret''s kick was!


    "Wu!"


    A low growl from Red, followed by furry paws pressed down on Snow Feng, who was trying to get up, firmly pushing him back to the ground.


    "Do you think I won''t dare to kill you?"


    Picking up the sharp knife from the ground, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes gleamed with a cold light as he slowly walked towards Snow Feng''s position.


    "It''s getting serious." The onlookers, all spirit master, involuntarily took a step back, fearing the impending situation might involve them.


    "I... I surrender!"


    Trembling, Snow Feng reached into his clothes and took out the wood spirit fruit, hurriedly raising it up. His quick moving eyes showed the panic he couldn''t control inside.


    "Now you decide to surrender?"


    Taking the wood spirit fruit, Blaze Regret casually tossed it to Blaze Qistina. But his cold eyes, sharp as a blade, still locked onto Snow Feng.


    Under Blaze Regret''s sharp gaze, Snow Feng couldn''t help but shiver, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. For the first time in his life, he felt the threat of death!


    "This is what you should have surrendered in the first place. Now, it''s the punishment for your wrong doing."


    With a sudden killing intent in his eyes, Blaze Regret lifted his foot again, the sharp sound of breaking wind accompanying his merciless kick towards Snow Feng''s chest.


    There, is the location of dantian of Spirit Masters and the source of their spiritual power!


    "Hiss!"


    Looking at Blaze Regret, who showed no hesitation, the Spirit Masters in the field couldn''t help but take in a sharp breath, even Blaze Khairul widened his eyes unexpectedly!


    "No!"


    In Snow Feng''s eyes, a touch of despair flashed, and a warmth, uncontrollably gushed out from between his legs.


    "Blaze family''s brat, daring to be so ruthless, aren''t you afraid of retribution?"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s foot was about to kick at Snow Feng''s chest, a huge black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, causing Blaze Regret''s pupils to shrink slightly. Together with the bristling Red, he quickly retreated.


    "Bang!"


    The black shadow landed on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.


    As the dust cleared, a giant Earth split scorpion appeared under the gaze of hundreds of eyes. The Earth split scorpion was about around six meters long, with patterns on its body resembling the grooves of a mountain rock. Its slightly drooping tail shimmered with a sharp gloss.


    On the back of the Earth split scorpion, an old man with a gloomy look stared at Blaze Regret, a strong aura spreading out.


    "Snow Ahmad?"


    As the old man''s appearance became clear, the spiritual masters in the field all had a glint in their eyes. They might not have known Blaze Regret and Snow Feng before, but they were unmistakably familiar with this Snow Ahmad.


    Snow Ahmad, the second elder of the Snow family, had surpassed the level of a spirit master warrior and had truly become a spirit Grandmaster, elevating his strength beyond that of the spirit master warrior. Though "spirit Grandmaster" was a stage that all practitioners know after spirit master warrior, stepping into this realm meant having the capital to truly navigate the continent.


    "How did this old man come?" Blaze Ahmad muttered. Without hesitation, he swiftly pulled out a voice transmitting snail from his pocket.


    "Elder, kill him for me!"


    Previously surrounded by fear, Snow Feng''s expression instantly turned fierce. Pointing a finger at Blaze Regret, his body moved, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.


    It was clear how powerful Blaze Regret''s previous kick had been.


    "What a ruthless kid! Just a friendly match, yet such heavy handedness. If I let you grow, would you have to exterminate the Snow family?"

 Chapter 34 - 34 Snow Ahmad 1

    A tap of Snow Ahmad''s foot and the Earth split scorpion like limbs of the ground crevice scorpion began to move swiftly. The sharp tips of its legs left traces on the ground, accompanied by a chilling sound that made one''s scalp tingle.


    "Elder Snow, don''t push it too far!"


    Blaze Khairul''s face turned serious as a dozen Thunder Eagles flapped their wings and soared into the sky. Thunderbolts shot out of their mouths, piercing the air like flowing light, enveloping the ground beneath Snow Ahmad''s feet in a barrage.


    "Too weak."


    The Earth Splitting Scorpion''s pincers lifted, as deep yellow spiritual power wall condensed, forming a rock wall that easily blocked the approaching Thunderbolts shot. The Thunderbolts shot was powerful enough to pierce any novice level spiritual beast, yet it left no trace on the rock wall!


    "Snow Ahmad, I''m done playing with you!"


    Having a moment to catch his breath, Blaze Regret quickly retracted Red into his spiritual portal. Then, flames emerged under his feet as he swiftly arrived beneath a high wall. Stepping onto it effortlessly, his action make all the people show a shocked looks.


    "Is this... the Flame Step?"


    A fire attribute spirit master''s mouth twitched slightly. For him, the Flame Step was solely meant for accelerating, not for climbing high walls.


    This required not only highly concentrated spiritual energy but also lengthy practice. Why would an ordinary person bother practicing this in their spare time? But Blaze Regret clearly wasn''t following the rules!


    "Goodbye!"


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s laughter, Snow Feng couldn''t help but scream, "Elder, you can''t let him go so easily!"


    "Wanna run?"


    With a scornful smirk on his face, Snow Ahmad''s Earth Split Scorpion suddenly shook. A sharply edged piece of armor automatically detached and, with a piercing sound cutting through the air, darted like lightning towards Blaze Regret''s back!


    Blaze Regret''s foot suddenly stepped on a few high walls in succession, disappearing along with the armor piece in front of everyone. Only the sound of tearing air from the armor piece faintly echoed in the surroundings.


    "Elder Snow, you have gone too far," Blaze Khairul''s gaze towards Snow Ahmad was particularly dark.


    Other spirit masters also frowned inwardly, seeing Elder Snow Ahmad making a move against a junior wasn''t a good look no matter how you attack it.


    With a killing intent on his gaze, Elder Snow Ahmad flicked his sleeve and calmly said, "Take the things and give back."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Qistina''s pretty face changed instantly. She naturally understood what Elder Snow Ahmad meant by "things."


    "It''s yours!" Biting her silver teeth, Blaze Qistina waved her jade hand and tossed a green wood spirit fruit towards Snow Feng.


    "Dare to touch something belonging to my Snow family, you don''t know your limits."


    Smiling mockingly, Snow Feng was about to take the wood spirit fruit when suddenly Snow Ahmad''s pupils constricted sharply.


    "Swoosh!"


    A sharp piercing wind sound is heard as a silver glowing dagger suddenly shoots out from a distance with incredible speed, aimed directly at Snow Feng''s palm!


    "Courting death!"


    With a cold gaze, Snow Ahmad stepped down, commanding the Earth Split Scorpion, and its claws immediately smashed heavily towards the ground, tearing open a deep yellow earth wall, standing tall in front of Snow Feng.


    "Hehe, let''s not interfere in the disputes among the younger generation, shall we, old folks?" S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a hearty laugh, a beam of flame suddenly surged forward, heavily crashing on the earth wall. The scorching flames instantly swept out, making the entire wall extremely hot.


    The next moment, with a muffled sound, a cold gleaming dagger accurately hit the spot where the beam landed, piercing directly through the incredibly hard earth wall!


    "Ah!"


    The sneer on his lips freezes, replaced by a grimace of pain as Snow Feng holds his palm, blood dripping, sprinkling on the ground.


    The sudden turn of events left many people stunned, only until they saw Snow Feng''s palm pierced by the dagger, did they take a sharp breath.


    "Second Elder!"


    Blaze Khairul first stunned, then ecstatic, quickly shifting his gaze into the distance.


    On the city wall that Blaze Regret had previously climbed over, a majestic fire lion with its white wings spread out was squatting there. Next to the fire lion stood Blaze Peter, whose hands were folded in front of his chest, coldly looking at the constantly wailing Snow Feng.


    The Fire Wing Lion, a fire attribute, is completely different from the Fire Spirit Lion even though there is only one word of difference between them.


    "Crack!"


    Under the lion''s paw, a sharp rock was pressed down, and with a swipe of the lion''s paw, the rock carried a strong wind as it slanted into the ground.


    "Damn, that scared me."


    Wiping off his cold sweat, Blaze Regret sat down next to the fire wing lion, sighing in relief. If Blaze Peter hadn''t arrived in time, he might have lost his life right there.


    "I should have brought the master Magi with me." Blaze Regret said with regretted in his heart, while the Master Magi was still lying quietly on the wooden table in the room.


    "Blaze Peter!"


    Just as Snow Ahmad was about to shout these words, Blaze Peter slowly interrupted with a commanding tone, "Old thing, at your age, you''re acting like a dog, shameless, even resorting to attacking younger generations. Going by this logic, shouldn''t our family head come and compete with you?"


    Clearly, Snow Ahmad''s actions had also ignited Blaze Peter''s anger.


    "Blaze Peter, don''t be so arrogant!"


    Glancing at the painfully screaming Snow Feng, Snow Ahmad''s mouth twitched, then his face quickly turned cold, He stomped his foot, His body flew out, and the huge Earth Split Scorpion rushed towards Blaze Peter and Blaze Regret.


    "Earth splitting Pierce!"


    With a pause in her movements, the Earth Split Scorpion violently smashed the ground with its pincers, a crack about a foot wide spread visibly at a rapid speed, and finally, the high wall collapsed in the billowing dust.

 Chapter 35 - 35 Snow Ahmad 2

    "Hmph, when it comes to fighting, this old man has never been afraid of anyone. Flame Wing Lion, Flame Wing Force!"


    Blaze Regret and Blaze Peter both dodged, the Fire Wing Lion standing upright fluttered its white feathers and soared into the air, flames swirling around it, then suddenly closing in to form a defense, protecting its body within.


    *Crack!*


    Among the shattered city bricks, several sharp rock thorns shot out from the end of the crack, piercing fiercely into the white feathers of the Fire Wing Lion.


    The rock thorns were about a yard wide, but when they hit the Fire Wing Lion, they shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, turning into countless broken rocks, scattering apart.


    With one attack unsuccessful, the Earth Split Scorpion quickly crossed its pincers, and several flaming feathers clashed with the scorpion pincers above its head, sparking glaring flames.


    The offensive of both sides was completed in an instant, and many spiritual masters only felt a flash before their eyes. The majestic Fire Wing Lion and the huge Earth Split Scorpion stopped their actions and confronted each other in midair.


    "Hehe, so much time has passed, and you still haven''t improved," Blaze Peter sneered and shook his head.


    "So what? You still can''t do anything to me," Snow Ahmad also coldly chuckled, but he was quite unhappy inside. When Blaze Peter first arrived in Veloria City, he could still overpower him, but now they were evenly matched.


    Putting away the Wood Spirit Fruit, Blaze Qistina ran excitedly to Blaze Peter''s side. She knew that today Snow Ahmad was not going to have a good time.


    After a moment of changing expressions, Snow Ahmad finally managed to utter a word, "Let''s go!"


    At these words, Snow Feng hesitated for a moment, then his expression quickly turned fierce. "Elder, my hand is injured like this, you can''t just let the kid from the Blaze family go, I want to chop off both his hands!"


    "What did you say?"


    A playful voice came from behind. As Snow Feng was about to turn around, a sudden intense pain spread from his palm throughout his body, causing him to scream in agony.


    "Tch!"


    A dagger was pulled out from Snow Feng''s palm, and Blaze Regret carefully wiped it clean, muttering, "What are you screaming for? It''s a good dagger, now it covered with so much blood."


    Seeing the blood spurting through the air, many spirit masters shuddered and cast a more serious gaze towards Blaze Regret. Today, they finally realized what a ruthless person the young master of the Blaze family was.


    "You..."


    Snow Ahmad was about to curse, but the spirit seal forming between Blaze Peter''s fingers made him swallow his words. If the fight continued and he got entangled with Blaze Peter, Snow Feng''s fate would only be more miserable.


    "Let''s go!"


    Grabbing the wailing Snow Feng, Snow Ahmad quickly left on the Earth Split Scorpion under the watchful eyes of the crowd. His trembling body revealed his uncontrollable anger.


    "Fifth rank already?"


    Xiao Yang gazed at Red leaping out from the spirit portal, his pleasantly surprised voice echoing quietly in the not so spacious room.


    Gently licking its fiery red fur, Red let out a soft growl, then hopped onto the table, taking a bite out of a piece of meat larger than its own size, making a joyful chewing sound.


    "I didn''t expect it to be faster than I thought," Blaze Regret remarked.


    Floating about ten feet above the ground, Master Magi drifted like a flickering transparent candle flame, a hint of admiration in his voice.


    The Scorching Flame Cat was a high level novice level spirit beast. Even with advanced elixirs every day, it still required time to digest, but Red had clearly shortened the time considerably.


    "So, what should I do next?" Blaze Regret asked, looking up. Without the matter of Angsana Paviliom Festival, he could have leisurely trained with Red. But now, there was a sense of urgency. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Let''s discuss tomorrow''s matters tomorrow. Today''s task is to have a good night''s sleep."


    After a moment of pretending to pondered mysteriously, Master Magi suddenly turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared back into the ancient book, leaving behind a low, mocking laughter.


    With a helpless roll of his eyes, Blaze Regret understood the principle that haste makes waste. So, after eating something simple, he immediately lay down on the bed to rest. Red, after cleaning its little paws, also jumped onto the bed, leaned against Blaze Regret''s back, and closed its eyes.


    The night was cool, moonlight like a gentle veil descending. A breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient tree outside the room, creating an especially tranquil atmosphere.


    Inside the room, the oil lamp was almost burnt out. After emitting a wisp of blue smoke, the wick finally completed its mission, extinguishing the last glimmer of light.


    The sound of sleep talking gently echoed, and Red suddenly opened its eyes, seemingly uncomfortable as it twisted its body. After a long while, it finally closed its eyes again.


    However, as it fell back asleep, a fiery red glow suddenly flashed on its forehead, rotating slowly like a small sun. In an instant, it transformed into a cluster of flames and re entered its body, as if it had never appeared.


    "Can you tell me what I should do now? If there''s still nothing to do, I''m tempted to take on a family task."


    Upon waking up, Blaze Regret looked at the leisurely Master Magi with a face full of complaint and finally couldn''t help but voice his grievance.


    "Young man, always so impatient."


    With a slight smile on his face, Master Magi closed the ancient Book. With a flick of his finger, spiritual energy condensed, and a yellowed piece of paper materialized in the air, then shot out with a sharp, breaking sound.


    *Snap!*


    After taking it over, Blaze Regret took a glance and suddenly exclaimed, "A high grade pill, Earth Flame Pill?"

 Chapter 36 - 36 Earth Flame Pill

    If others were to hear this, they would surely show a look of shock. Although high grade pills are rare, a few could still circulate in the entire Veloria city in a month, but the pill recipe is different! Successfully refining a high grade pill can earn one the title of an alchemist.


    Currently, Blaze Regret, even if he can refine the Azure Spirit Liquid with a decent success rate, for the profession of alchemy, at most, he has just touched the threshold.


    To become a true alchemist, besides having rich alchemical experience, the most important thing is to have a recipe for a high grade pill!


    Arrogant and unmatched Kamal, who has been alchemist for decades, can only refine two types of high grade pills because he lacks access to new pill recipes.


    Looking at the number of pill recipes in Veloria City, it would not exceed five! And now, Master Magi casually gave Blaze Regret a pill recipe that had never appeared in Veloria City before, no wonder the latter was so surprised.


    Turning his eyes, Blaze Regret carefully placed the pill recipe into the Void Realm stone and then looked at Master Magi with a wry smile, "Is there more?"


    "Yes, there is." Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently, how could he not understand his thoughts, "For this kind of trash, the Master Magi can easily produce a pile, and it would be fine to wipe your butt every day."


    At these words, Blaze Regret was at a loss. He considered something precious, but others considered it trash, which was really disheartening.


    "Oh, I forgot to tell you, there are some differences between the Earth Flame Pill and regular pills."


    As if suddenly remembering something, Master Magi''s face revealed a gloating smile, "The materials used for normal pills are medicinal ingredients, but the Earth Flame Pill is different. It can only be refined using some precious spirit herbs."


    "Spirit herbs?" Blaze Regret''s cheeks visibly trembled.


    Not long ago, he had just traded for a snow condensing grass, so he naturally knew the high value of spirit herb. Spirit herbs could be directly consumed by spiritual beasts, and some were even priceless. One spirit herbs could be exchanged for hundreds of equivalent grade medicinal herbs.


    But he never expected that the refining materials for the Earth Flame Pill would be spirit herb!


    "Three stalks of first grade spiritual herb Xuan Yan Grass, four blossoms of Wu Jian Flower, and two sections of Luo Chen Vine..." After reading the entire formula, Blaze Regret felt an urge to cough up blood.


    "This is robbery!" His hand trembled for a long time, and he finally couldn''t help but roar.


    To refine one Earth Flame Pill, it would cost nearly ten thousand gold coins, and success was not guaranteed!


    "If it were easy, alchemists would have long been everywhere. In the future, you will know that advanced prescriptions have all sorts of strange materials. But for now, try to collect spirit herb." Master Magi shrugged, his smile looking particularly irritating.


    In the back mountain, hidden within the forest.


    A golden, luminous cauldron floated in front of Blaze Regret, emitting a faint fragrance. A small golden orb separated from the cauldron, immediately swallowed by the leaping Red.


    "Fifth tier; I wonder when I''ll break through to the sixth tier."


    Glancing at Red, Blaze Regret murmured softly, feeling gratified. "At the sixth rank, the Scorching Flame Cat can comprehend new spirit techniques, and its combat power can also increase significantly."


    However, he also knew that feeding Red such a large quantity of Azure Spirit Liquid would yield minimal results, as it couldn''t fully digest it.


    But with Master Magi''s assistance and the principle that crafting this simple spiritual liquid didn''t consume much mental energy, he still used the Azure Spirit Liquid, something regarded as a rare medicinal liquid by the outside world, as if it were plain water for Red.


    "Whoosh!"


    After discarding a green spiritual core, Red, seeing that it would take some time to craft a new batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, dove back into the forest to hunt those highly aggressive spirit beasts, enhancing its combat experience.


    Meanwhile, Master Magi often wandered through the forest, occasionally collecting well hidden spiritual herbs. Upon closer inspection, one would notice that these were all the spiritual herbs needed to craft the Earth Flame Pill.


    This scene continued for nearly ten days. After consuming all the materials for crafting Azure Spirit Liquid, Blaze Regret opened his tightly shut eyes and said softly, "Can we craft the Earth Flame Pill now?"


    "Purity is acceptable."


    Turning a newly refined golden liquid orb, Master Magi slowly spoke, "Congratulations, you finally have the qualification to refine the Earth Flame Pill."


    After nearly ten days of practice, Blaze Regret''s alchemist skills had clearly improved significantly compared to the beginning. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "According to the pill formula, the Earth Flame Pill can advance a fire attribute spirit beast below the eighth rank by one rank."


    With a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes, Blaze Regret picked up a stalk of Xuan Yan Grass, its top resembling burning flames, and gently tossed it into the cauldron, "I hope it won''t disappoint me."


    In the secluded depths of the dense forest, a wisp of faint blue smoke spiraled gently into the sky, serene and distant.


    Beneath that wisp of smoke, in a golden and transparent cauldron, a viscous liquid suffused with a medicinal fragrance slowly gathered.


    "Condense!"


    With a change in his hand seals, Blaze Regret watched as the gathered viscous liquid began to swirl around like droplets, gradually forming into a spherical shape.


    As time passed, the viscous liquid quickly solidified. Moments later, it transformed into a white pill, lying quietly in the cauldron, emitting a lingering fragrance.


    "Master Magi, is it considered a success?"


    Ignoring the heat of the pill, Blaze Regret grimaced and used his fingers to carefully pick it up, hurriedly presenting it to Master Magi, who was floating in mid air.


    "It appears to be a qualified pill."

 Chapter 37 - 37 Ghost Face Flower 1

    Gently stroking the white pill, Master Magi smiled. But in the next moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice held a trace of astonishment: "Pill Patterns?"


    "Pill Patterns?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, puzzled.


    With a strange glance at Blaze Regret, Master Magi explained, "Even within the same type of pill, there are varying degrees of quality. The lowest grade pills, which are commonly found in markets and auctions, lack Pill Patterns. Pills with Pill Patterns, however, are much more effective than ordinary ones and are far more valuable, potentially even doubling in value."


    "This is the Pill Pattern?" Blaze Regret, gazing at the Earth Flame Pill in Master Magi''s hand, finally noticed a flame colored pattern on one side of the pill.


    The flame colored pattern was quite peculiar, resembling actual flames.


    "That''s right," Master Magi nodded. "A regular Earth Flame Pill can ensure that a fire attribute spirit beast below the eighth rank ascends by one rank. However, even an eighth rank spirit beast refining this pill would achieve the same effect."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret took a deep breath, and excitement filled his eyes. The higher the rank of a spirit beast, the harder it is to advance. This meant that he had struck gold this time!


    "In that case, I won''t use it now. I''ll wait until Red reaches the eighth rank." Blaze Regret happily stored the Earth Flame Pill in his void realms stone.


    "Suit yourself."


    Master Magi yawned lazily and then looked at Blaze Regret. "I had planned to teach you alchemist slowly, but your comprehension is much better than I expected. It''s time to give you something."


    Blinking in confusion, Blaze Regret didn''t ask further and directly walked beneath Master Magi, extending his hand.


    "What are you doing?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret with a strange expression.


    "Receiving the gift."


    "If that gift were tangible, it would overflow even if your have void realms stone." Shaking his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, Master Magi extended his index finger and lightly pressed it against Blaze Regret''s forehead. "Don''t move; it might hurt a little."


    Before Master Magi''s words had even faded, Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted as a sharp pain suddenly assaulted his mind, like being pierced by thousands of needles.


    Soon, Blaze Regret''s body was drenched in sweat, and his trembling hands showing the pain he endured.


    "Woof!"


    Seeing this, Red''s body tensed up slightly, and it gazed at Master Magi with hostility.


    "If you don''t want him to be crippled, don''t move." Master Magi glanced indifferently at Red and then fell silent. After a cold snort, Red''s eyes were filled with worry.


    "Huff!"


    After a while, as Master Magi retracted his finger, Blaze Regret exhaled a deep breath of relief. A large amount of information surged through his mind, eventually transforming into an emerald green seed that lay in his mental world.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret asked, his voice filled with astonishment as he sensed the foreign object within him.


    "The Medical Emperor''s Scriptures," Master Magi said softly, with his hands clasped behind his back. "After the fall of the Medical Emperor, he left behind all his life''s experiences, which are now yours."


    "The Medical Emperor''s Scriptures?" Blaze Regret murmured, his voice hoarse with shock.


    According to legend, the Medical Emperor''s Scriptures was the ultimate treasure coveted by all alchemists on the continent. Who would have thought it was just a seed that appeared so ordinary?


    "Indeed, it is that very thing," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "Wait a minute, did you just say that the Medical Emperor has fallen?" Blaze Regret''s voice trembled with disbelief as he grasped the significance of Master Magi''s words.


    "Yes," Master Magi nodded slowly.


    Receiving this confirmation, Blaze Regret''s throat grew even drier. The Medical Emperor was a Spirit Emperor level being, standing at the pinnacle of the hierarchy, looking down on others like ants. It was unimaginable what kind of powerful existence could have caused his fall, and how the Medical Emperor''s Scripture ended up in Master Magi''s possession!


    The history of the Spirit Beast Continent is long and filled with various strange and mysterious legends, such as Spirit Emperors with spiritual power as vast as the ocean, or the Nine Heavens Phoenix that could shatter the sky with a flap of its wings.


    Powerful spirit masters and mysterious spirit beasts with untraceable tracks are often topics of conversation among many cultivators during their leisure time.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s questioning gaze, Master Magi could only shrug helplessly, "I''ve already told you, I''ve forgotten most things. The only thing I know is that this Medical Emperor''s Scripture can enhance an alchemist''s understanding of elixirs and their alchemist skills. If you were to refine the Earth Flame Pill again, perhaps it would only take a quarter of an hour to complete."

    Shaking his head to suppress his doubts, Blaze Regret exhaled lightly. No matter what, the Medical Emperor''s Scripture was nothing but beneficial to him, serving as his trump card for rapid growth!


    This was an unimaginable treasure!


    "This seed will be called the Medical Emperor''s Seed from now on," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    "Woof!"


    At that moment, Red, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. A serious expression filled its eyes as it stared intently at the dense forest to the south.


    "What''s wrong?" Blaze Regret was immediately startled.


    "I have some good news and some bad news for you," Master Magi said leisurely. "A wood attribute spirit beast is lurking nearby. The good news is that it has swallowed a fire attribute spirit beast, and within that beast is a spirit crystal. You should know that spirit crystals cannot be digested."


    Blaze Regret''s heart surged with joy, and he looked at Master Magi with fiery eyes. "And the bad news?"


    "The bad news is that the spirit beast is of mid tier warrior level, around the fifth rank," Master Magi said with a cheerful smile.


    Blaze Regret''s excitement was instantly doused as if cold water had been poured over his head. Just as he was about to ask Master Magi for help, the latter transformed into a white light and quickly disappeared into the void realms Stone, leaving only a teasing laugh echoing through the forest.

 Chapter 38 - 38 Ghost Face Flower 2

    "Don''t overthink it. Unless it''s a matter of life and death, I won''t intervene."


    Cursing inwardly, Blaze Regret''s feet were quickly engulfed in flames, and Red was also fully prepared, its small claws glowing with scorching fire.


    "Heh heh!"


    A raspy laugh, like that of an old man on his deathbed, suddenly echoed ominously through the dense forest. Before Blaze Regret could react, a sinister, grinning face abruptly appeared in front of him, staring directly at him!


    "Smack!"


    Reflexively, Red was about to pounce when a vine lashed out, striking its body hard and sending it flying more than ten yards away.


    The eerie, close up grinning face made Blaze Regret''s heart race. A term he least wanted to think about bitterly surfaced in his mind.


    "Ghost Face Flower..."


    The Ghost Face Flower, naturally of medium rank at the warrior level, is true to its name with a large ghostly face in the center of its flower petal, surrounded by dozens of writhing tendrils.


    Of course, what makes this spirit beast terrifying is not its appearance, but its behave nature. They take great pleasure in toying with weaker creatures, and once their victims are completely consumed by fear, they devour them.


    This frightening trait causes spirit masters across the continent to avoid them at all costs.


    Red, who had been struck away, endured the pain in his abdomen and charged forward again, his sharp claws sweeping towards the eerie flower petal of the Ghost Face Flower.


    "Heh heh!"


    The Ghost Face Flower glanced sideways at Red, letting out a sharp laugh. The tendrils around its flower petal suddenly turned back, shooting out straight like steel spears.


    The tips of the tendrils gleamed with an extremely sharp luster.


    "Dodge!" Blaze Regret''s expression changed, and he shouted urgently.


    However, Red''s strength was clearly far inferior to the Ghost Face Flower. Even though he reacted immediately, one of the Ghost Face Flower''s tendrils still pierced through his abdomen and nailed him to the ground with a clang.


    "Heh heh!"


    Excited laughter rang out as the Ghost Face Flower''s petal began to spin rapidly. The remaining tendrils suddenly converged, forming a green spiral spike that pierced the air with a shrill sound, hurtling towards the struggling Red.


    "Spirit Portal, open!"


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret hurriedly tried to open the Spirit Portal to recall Red, only to find that the gate was unresponsive.


    "Controlled spirit beasts cannot be recalled," came the sudden voice of Master Magi, which briefly lingered before fading away again.


    "Damn it!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes reddened with rage. He kicked out forcefully, only managing to momentarily jolt the Ghost Face Flower. However, its momentum remained unabated as it continued to charge at Red, intent on killing him on the spot.


    The green spiral spike shrieked through the air, making a mournful sound. Blaze Regret had no doubt that the Ghost Face Flower had the capability to kill Red in an instant.


    "Clang!"


    However, just as the spiral spike was about to strike Red, a fiery barrier suddenly enveloped his small body, repelling the Ghost Face Flower with a loud snap. The tendril that had pierced Red was also severed at that moment.


    "Whoosh!"


    Freed from its control, Red transformed into a streak of red light and was finally recalled into the Spirit Portal by Blaze Regret.


    Without pausing to investigate the origin of the fiery barrier, Blaze Regret turned and swiftly darted in the opposite direction, with intense fire elements spreading through the air.


    "Heh heh!"


    The Ghost Face Flower let out a sinister laugh as it watched the disappearing figure ahead. Its body spun, and the swinging tendrils once again formed a spiral spike that plunged into the ground.


    "Grumble!"


    The ground quickly bulged, and the bulging path chased after Blaze Regret at an alarming speed.


    In the silent jungle, a dark shadow darted quickly, landing on a tree trunk. With a swift push off the branch, it vanished in an instant.


    "Did I shake it off?" Blaze Regret, hidden beneath layers of leaves in the dense forest hundreds of feet away, exhaled in relief with lingering fear.


    Since birth, this was his closest brush with death. Indeed, a spirit beast of the warrior level was formidable!


    "Heh heh!" S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, before Blaze Regret could fully recover, the excited laughter echoed in his ears again. To his horror, he saw the trunk he was standing on peeling away layer by layer from below. A grotesque bulge pierced through the entire ancient tree, and in a flash, that bizarre laughing face appeared behind him!


    "Damn!"


    Without a moment''s hesitation, Blaze Regret rapidly mobilized the remaining spiritual power in his body, transforming into a dark shadow and darting away. The ancient tree exploded into splinters the instant he left, sending shattered wood flying in all directions.


    The flower disk spun rapidly, and seeing Blaze Regret''s terrified expression, the Ghost Face Flower was ecstatic. It loved nothing more than to toy with its prey; the more fearful the prey, the more excited it became!


    "Whoosh!"


    The spinning Ghost Face Flower, resembling a disk, flashed through the dense forest, accompanied by its gleeful laughter.


    Half an hour had passed, and Blaze Regret''s mind was on the verge of collapse. Every time he thought he had found a suitable hiding place, the Ghost Face Flower quickly chased him out, its laughter echoing like a demonic sound in his ears, torturing his nerves relentlessly.


    If it were any ordinary spirit master, they would have given up resisting by now, becoming like a walking corpse under its control. But Blaze Regret was different; his willpower was strong enough to sustain him up to this point, though it was clear he couldn''t hold on much longer.


    Hidden in a narrow crevice above a flowing stream, Blaze Regret stood in a space barely enough for one person, his expression somewhat wooden.


    He knew that no matter how concealed his hiding spot was, it wouldn''t escape the Ghost Face Flower''s pursuit, and his spiritual power was nearly exhausted.


    "Heh heh!"


    Gently parting a leaf, the Ghost Face Flower revealed its flower petal. The ghostly face on it looked as innocent as a child''s, with a radiant smile fixed on Blaze Regret.


    "Mmm!"

 Chapter 39 - 39 Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal

    A few breaths later, seeing Blaze Regret''s numb expression, the Ghost Face Flower seemed to understand that he had given up resisting. Its laughter changed, and after a joyful shriek, its tendrils extended and wrapped around Blaze Regret, lifting him up. The mouth on the ghostly face suddenly opened wide, emitting a pungent stench.


    The tendrils slowly moved toward the mouth. Seeing the terror reappear on Blaze Regret''s face made the Ghost Face Flower tremble with excitement. Observing its prey''s despair before feeding was an immensely satisfying experience for it.


    In just a few breaths, which felt like an eternity to Blaze Regret, he glanced at the Ghost Face Flower''s grinning face. Suddenly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. With a swift turn of his palm, a green fruit appeared.


    "Gulp!"


    The Ghost Face Flower''s tendrils loosened, and Blaze Regret fell straight into its mouth. As the creature licked its lips contentedly, it seemed to savor the moment.


    However, in the next instant, a surge of powerful energy exploded in front of it!


    "Boom!"


    A deafening noise erupted as a violent gust of wind swept out.


    Under the onslaught of the fierce wind, the tendrils of the Ghost Face Flower snapped one by one, and its flower petal was quickly shredded by the terrifying energy blast!


    The ground within a radius of ten kilometer was stripped away layer by layer by the violent energy, leaving a pitch-black crater that struck awe into those who saw it.


    "Thud! Thud!"


    The flower petal was thrown into the air and then fell back down. The once smiling face was now twisted in fear, with cracks spreading across it, breaking it into pieces. Wisps of white mist seeped out from the cracks, swaying gently in the wind.


    It was fortunate that Blaze Regret had kept the Purple Demon Tree fruit for a long time. If he had thrown the Purple Demon Tree itself, the entire Ghost Face Flower would have instantly turned to dust.


    After struggling a bit more, the Ghost Face Flower finally became completely silent, showing no signs of movement. It was clear that, as the direct bearer of the Purple Demon Tree fruit''s explosion, it had lost all vitality.


    "Cough, cough!"


    After a long while, the flower petal stirred again. Blaze Regret, with his clothes tattered and torn, broke through the flower disk and staggered to his feet. Besides the Ghost Face Flower''s mucus, his body was also stained with quite a bit of blood.


    "Almost got myself killed," Blaze Regret said with a bitter smile, feeling the intense pain all over his body.


    "You do realize that!" Master Magi''s figure floated up, initially intending to scold him, but upon seeing Blaze Regret''s miserable state, he could only let out a cold snort. However, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.


    "When you''re not strong enough, you have to risk your life."


    Releasing Red, Blaze Regret sat down, completely exhausted. His gaze then swept around, and when he saw a distant, radiant hexagonal object that looked like a red diamond, an expression of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.


    "As I expected, a Fire Attribute Spirit Crystal!"


    The hexagonal spirit crystal, as dazzling as a red diamond, lay quietly on the ground, shimmering brilliantly.


    "Whimper!"


    Enduring the pain in its abdomen, Red swiftly darted over, picked up the spirit crystal, and gently tossed it into its mouth.


    "Gulp!" S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As its throat rolled, a faint red glow instantly emanated from Red''s body, and the surrounding temperature gradually began to rise.


    "What kind of spirit skill will it be?" Blaze Regret, ignoring the pain in his body, stared unblinkingly at Red.


    "From the looks of it, it should be an offensive spirit skill," Master Magi also gazed at Red and said slowly.


    The refining process lasted for nearly ten minutes. Only when Red let out a comfortable Cat cry did the emitted firelight finally recede.


    "Whimper!"


    Sensing Blaze Regret''s eager gaze, Red let out a triumphant cry, then slightly raised its neck as a surge of fiery red spirit power quickly gathered.


    Fiery red spirit power condensed, and in an instant, it transformed into a fireball resembling the sun, causing the surrounding air to faintly distort.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a flick of its little head, Red sent the fireball blast straight toward an ancient tree. The fireball struck the tree forcefully, penetrating deep inside before exploding with a loud bang, illuminating the surroundings with a dazzling blaze.


    In an instant, wood chips mixed with fiery particles scattered everywhere.


    "Crack~"


    Losing its base support, the ancient tree crashed to the ground, its massive trunk causing the ground to tremble slightly.


    "What incredible destructive power!" Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed. This attack from Red was powerful enough to severely injure even a seventh tier high level novice grade spirit beast!


    "Heh, it turns out this is the Fireball skill of the Purple Flame Cat Spirit. This spirit skill has actually reached the Warrior grade. I really wonder how the Ghostface Flower managed to take down the Purple Flame Cat Spirit," Master Magi chuckled.


    "Spirit skills have different grades?" Blaze Regret asked, slightly puzzled as he stroked the proud Red.


    "Of course. Each spirit beast, at different ranks, can comprehend different spirit skills. For instance, the high level novice grade Scorching Flame Cat comprehends all high level warrior grade skills, while the low level warrior grade Purple Flame Cat Spirit comprehends all low level warrior grade skills," Master Magi explained.


    "The warrior grade spirit skill, huh." Blaze Regret smacked his lips. It seemed he had underestimated the power of the Fireball skill. Not only could it severely injure a seventh tier high level novice grade spirit beast, but it might even be capable of killing it!


    "Woo!"


    Crouched on the ground, Red suddenly let out a stifled Cat cry, then its body trembled as a surging wave of energy burst forth, blowing away the dry branches and fallen leaves on the ground.


    "Leveling up?" Blaze Regret exclaimed in pleasant surprise.


    It had been nearly ten days since the last level up. During this time, Red had been continuously hunting spirit beasts, refining its own spirit power.

 Chapter 40 - 40 Flame Breath

    More importantly, the spirit crystal of the Purple Flame Cat Spirit contained a rich amount of fire attribute energy, which allowed Red to break through its bottleneck and advance to the sixth tier in one go.


    At the sixth tier, Red could comprehend a new spirit skill!


    "Let me think. A sixth tier Scorching Flame Cat can comprehend two types of spirit skills: one is the Flowing Flame Beam, and the other is the enhancement type skill Flame Breath. However, only one in a hundred Scorching Flame Cat has the chance to comprehend the latter," Master Magi said softly, a contemplative look in his eyes.


    Just as Master Magi finished speaking, Red crouched down, and streams of fiery light began swirling around its body, almost solid in appearance. At that moment, its aura seemed to faintly reach the seventh tier!


    "It''s Flame Breath!" Master Magi''s eyes lit up with joy, his eyebrows raised slightly.


    "An attack boosting skill?" Blaze Regret was momentarily dazed by the consecutive surprises. It was clear that the Flame Breath skill was more suitable for Red at this stage than the Flowing Flame Beam.


    Now that Red had a Master grade spirit skill, he couldn''t care less about novice grade skills!


    "Hehe, lucky boy. Flame Breath not only boosts attacks but can also grow over time. You''ll come to realize just how beneficial this spirit skill is in the future," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "Hiss!"


    The pain from his wounds finally pulled Blaze Regret out of his joy. Grimacing, he took a sharp breath and quickly walked to the stream to wash off the bloodstains at his body.


    "Stand still."


    After Blaze Regret cleaned off the bloodstains, Master Magi noticed the still bleeding wounds. With a wave of his hand, a golden pillar of runic light instantly enveloped Blaze Regret.


    The golden runes appeared fragmented, and as Blaze Regret stood within the rotating pillar of light, he watched in amazement as his wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The newly healed skin was smooth and pristine, like that of a newborn.


    "So magical." Blaze Regret marveled, feeling the power coursing through his body. "Even a wood attribute spirit beast of the lord level couldn''t do this."


    Master Magi smiled enigmatically and asked, "Alright, what''s your plan now?"


    Taking out clean clothes from the void realms stone, Blaze Regret quickly changed and scratched his head, chuckling, "It''s a pity to keep the precious herbs from the Medicine Emperor unused. My cultivation speed is fast enough, but I can''t neglect my clansmen either."


    "Be careful not to overdo it and bring trouble upon yourself," Master Magi teased with a smirk.


    "Isn''t that what you''re here for, Master? In the entire Veloria City, there isn''t anyone you would consider worth your attention," Blaze Regret said, looking at Master Magi with a cheeky grin.


    "You little rascal, don''t try to test your master''s strength. But that statement wasn''t bad," Master Magi said with a half smile, half smirk.


    Satisfied with the reassurance, Blaze Regret quickly opened the spirit portal and took Red inside, though his eyes still burned with enthusiasm. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    What he needed to do now was improve the younger generation of the Blaze family to a new level!


    And the method was using Master Magi''s treasured alchemist recipes and the Medicine Emperor''s herbs scriptures in his spiritual world!


    ...


    Veloria city, Atlas Shop.


    The Atlas Shop was divided into four main areas: the Spirit Technique Section, the Spirit Skill Section, the Herbal Section, and the Spiritual Medicine Section. The Alchemist Section was merged with the Spiritual Medicine Section, making them one.


    Apart from these four areas, there was a more hidden section known as the Alchemist Section. However, this area was generally not open to the public and only accessible to alchemists.


    Through Mark, Blaze Regret sold some of the Azure Spirit Liquid from his void realms stone, gaining nearly ten thousand gold coins. Ingredients needed for first grade alchemist recipes were relatively few, and these coins were more than enough for Blaze Regret to splurge.


    He collected piles of herbs into his void realm stone and quickly moved on to the next stall.


    "Young Master Blaze, all the Purple Spirit Leaves have been sold out."


    Beside him, the clerk assigned by Mark to follow Blaze Regret spoke with a tone of apology.


    The Purple Spirit Leaf was the main ingredient for refining the Mu Li Pill.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyebrows slightly furrowed. The Mu Li Pill was something he intended to refine for Blaze Qistina. Usually, the Atlas Shop had an ample supply of such herbs, so he hadn''t expected it to be sold out.


    "Who is the buyer?" Blaze Regret asked casually, not minding paying a high price to purchase some from the buyer.


    "Young Master Blaze Regret, the buyer of the Purple Spirit Leaf is the esteemed alchemist Park lily from the Atlas Shop. Do you really think you can snatch something from him?"


    A mocking voice came through, causing Blaze Regret''s brows to furrow slightly before he turned his gaze.


    The source of the voice was a young woman around twenty years old. Remarkably, she was the same female spiritualist who had appeared when Blaze Regret publicly tested the properties of the Azure Spirit Liquid not long ago!


    "Ken Aina, say no more!"


    Next to the female spiritualist, Karthik''s expression changed instantly, a hint of fear in his voice as he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Blaze, I didn''t know your identity a few days ago and offended you."


    "There''s no need. Compared to the vanity of status, I still believe more in actual strength." Blaze Regret smiled. He had a certain fondness for the straightforward nature of Karthik.


    "Strength? Do you have any? You''re just riding on the title of Young Master of the Blaze family. Without that title, you wouldn''t even be qualified to talk to me. Karthik, why are you afraid of him? Did I say anything wrong?" Ken Aina glanced impatiently at Karthik, who was desperately giving her signals.

 Chapter 41 - 41 Alchemist Park Lily 1

    "Young Master Blaze, my friend here has been wild from her time with the Spirit Hunting Group. Please forgive her." Karthik sighed and said with a bitter smile.


    Spirit Hunting Group?


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret had a moment of realization. The Spirit Hunting Group was an organization specialized in hunting spirit beasts, mainly dealing in spirit cores and capturing spirit beasts. He had interacted quite a bit with the hunters from these groups who dealt with his family.


    These people were usually wild and unruly, believing in nothing but absolute strength. Even if they angered members of prominent families, they could easily hide in the mountains and continue their livelihood elsewhere.


    "You scions of these prominent families have no other skills than bullying the weak," Ken Aina scoffed disdainfully.


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh and touch the tip of his nose, feeling a bit helpless. It seemed that Ken Aina had quite a prejudice against the children of influential families.


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret turned to the attendant beside him, "Where is Park Lily?"


    A flicker of astonishment crossed Ken Aina''s eyes before she quickly sneered, "Karthik, I''ve always said that these family scions are good for nothing but pretending to be tough. Look at him, getting all riled up just because of a few words from me."


    "Master Park Lily is in the Alchemist District. Only alchemists are allowed to enter there," the attendant pointed to a part of the Alchemist District, smiling wryly.


    "Thank you," Blaze Regret nodded and began walking towards the district.


    "Is he really going there?" Seeing this, Ken Aina was visibly taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "Karthik, how about a bet? I bet that within twenty breaths, he''ll be thrown out."


    "Young Master Blaze, you mustn''t!" The attendant was startled and quickly followed him.


    A first rank alchemist wouldn''t care about Blaze Regret''s status as the Young Master of the Blaze family. Even the heads of the four major families would have to treat them with utmost respect.


    "It''s alright." Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Under the anxious gaze of the attendant, Blaze Regret pushed open the tightly closed wooden door and disappeared from everyone''s view.


    "Overestimating oneself," Ken Aina crossed her arms and watching the creaking wooden door closing. His eyes gleamed with a mix of delight in others'' misfortune.


    Creak~


    As Blaze Regret entered the Alchemist District, his vision was immediately filled with a thick white mist. The rich scent of herbs wafted through the air, lifting his spirits.


    It was evident that an alchemist had been refining pills in this area for many years, which caused the lingering fragrance of medicinal pills.


    In the depths of the white mist, an old man was frowning deeply as he stared intently at the pill cauldron in front of him. His right hand was tightly clenched, holding a misshapen pill that was clearly a defective product.


    "Who are you, and who allowed you to come in here?"


    As soon as Blaze Regret entered, a young man beside the old alchemist stepped forward, angrily pointing at Blaze Regret. "Get out! Do you know where you are? This is not a place you can enter!"


    The young man''s angry voice echoed, but the old man seemed oblivious, his cloudy old eyes still fixed unblinkingly on the pill cauldron.


    "Empty Soul Pill?"


    In Blaze Regret''s mind, a recipe for a pill suddenly emerged. It was the formula and process for refining the first grade Empty Soul Pill, causing his thoughts to become exceptionally clear in an instant.


    Yesterday, Master Magi had tossed a pile of pill recipes to Blaze Regret as if discarding trash. Among them was the recipe for the Empty Soul Pill.


    With a faint smile in his heart, Blaze Regret immediately understood the old man''s problem. With the help of the Medicine Emperor''s seed, he could effortlessly grasp the making of first grade pills.


    "Get out of here, now!" The young man walked up to Blaze Regret, pointing at his nose and cursing.


    Creak!


    In response, Blaze Regret didn''t show any restraint. He raised his hand, grabbed the young man''s finger, and gave it a slight twist.


    "Ah!"


    The young man screamed in pain, his face contorted as he shouted, "Do you know who I am? I am Master Park Lily''s pill apprentice. Offend me, and there will be no place for you in the entire Veloria City. Your family will also be implicated!"


    Raising an eyebrow, Blaze Regret looked up with a faint smile and said softly, "Really? Let me tell you a story. My father is Blaze Ash. I''d love to see how you plan to implicate me."


    Hearing this, the young man instantly fell silent. Although alchemists held a noble status, Blaze Ash''s power was well known. Even Park Lily wouldn''t dare say such a thing, let alone an ordinary pill apprentice.


    "Kamil, come back."


    Park Lily finally lifted his eyelids, somewhat displeased, and said, "Leave a way out for people, didn''t Blaze Ash teach you that?"


    "Hehe, my father didn''t teach me that. He only told me to eradicate the roots when cutting the weeds and not to show mercy to enemies I can eliminate," Blaze Regret spread his hands and smiled.


    Initially, he had planned to speak politely with Park Lily, but now it seemed completely unnecessary. The arrogance of alchemists made Park Lily maintain a constant sense of superiority, as if his apprentice had every right to curse at Blaze Regret.


    "Don''t you know that only alchemists are allowed in here?" Park Lily''s face instantly darkened.


    "Yes, I know. The Azure Spirit Liquid from a while back was sold by me," Blaze Regret pulled over a chair and sat down boldly, staring at Park Lily.


    "Hehe, I heard the Blaze family recruited an alchemist. No wonder you have the confidence to disrespect me. So, your future supply of spirit liquid is guaranteed, huh?"


    Blaze Regret merely smiled noncommittally. Respect is mutual, but it seemed Park Lily had misunderstood some things.


    Gently pushing aside the pill furnace in front of him, Park Lily''s face showed a proud expression. "I saw that Azure Spirit Liquid. It was made by a half baked alchemist. His skills are not yet enough to be considered qualified."

 Chapter 42 - 42 Alchemist Park Lily 2

    Blaze Regret nodded. Though Park Lily was full of superiority, his judgment was accurate. When Blaze Regret made the first batch of Azure Spirit Liquid, he indeed was not yet qualified to be called a competent first grade alchemist.


    "So, today I won''t be making any pills for you. Moreover, if the Blaze family wants to ask me to make pills in the future, the price will be doubled," Park Lily waved his hand. "Kamil, see the guest out." Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Please," the young man sneered, making a gesture of seeing the guest out, his face full of mockery.


    "Master Park Lily, it seems you''ve misunderstood something. I''m not here to ask you to refine any pills." Ignoring the sneering young man, Blaze Regret said with a wry smile.


    "Then what do you want?" Park Lily''s eyes turned cold, his voice dripping with undisguised contempt.


    He had lost all patience with Blaze Regret.


    "Just leave already." The young man, seeing this, moved to push the door open and force Blaze Regret out, his actions rather rough.


    "Your hand is healed?" Blaze Regret''s playful gaze instantly made the young man''s face turn livid.


    "I can leave on my own." Blaze Regret stood up, gently dusting off the white medicinal powder from his clothes. He then turned around, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.


    "The Hundred Withered Grass should only use the upper part; the lower part has too many impurities and will ruin the pill''s potency. Also, the flame control is incorrect. While refining the Empty Soul Pill, the flame temperature needs to change three times, or the pill won''t take shape."


    Hearing this, Park Lily was stunned and then showed an expression of disbelief: "Do you have the formula for the Empty Soul Pill?"


    Blaze Regret said nothing, his hand lightly resting on the wooden door.


    "Young friend, wait!"


    In the dazed eyes of the young man, Park Lily quickly stood up and hurried to Blaze Regret''s side, grabbing his arm and speaking urgently, "Has the Blaze family''s alchemist also refined the Empty Soul Pill?"


    Blaze Regret smiled and shook his head, "He hasn''t, but I can."


    "Nonsense..."


    The young man had just started to speak when Park Lily angrily shouted, "Shut up!"


    The young man choked on his words, his face turning crimson as if he had swallowed a dead rat.


    "Young friend, can you really do it?" Park Lily looked at Blaze Regret with urgency. The process of refining the Empty Soul Pill was extremely complex. Even with the formula, mastering the method wasn''t guaranteed. He was a testament to that.


    Yet, he still found it hard to believe, given Blaze Regret''s young age. He had never heard of such a young alchemist before.


    With a light chuckle, Blaze Regret walked to the place where Park Lily refined his pills and sat down. Park Lily quickly moved the cauldron over, standing by with a look of expectation and nervousness, like a child eager to learn.


    Outside the wooden door.


    Ken Aina heard the "Get out!" from inside and couldn''t help but purse her rosy lips. That guy really thought his status was that useful. In front of an alchemist, that so called status was utterly worthless.


    "How about that? I told you he''d definitely be thrown out," Ken Aina said playfully to Karthik.


    Karthik forced a bitter smile, feeling extremely uneasy. If Blaze Regret really got thrown out and became furious, their spirit hunting group would certainly have a tough time ahead.


    Inside, a few more angry shouts were heard. Ken Aina laughed so hard she shook with hilarious, the disdain in her eyes becoming even more evident.


    "Even Master Park Lily is scolding him. It seems Blaze Regret is not only arrogant but also very foolish."


    A moment later, the interior fell silent again. Ken Aina, puzzled, said, "He couldn''t have been beaten to death, could he? Why is it so quiet?"


    Creak!


    Suddenly, the wooden door opened, and Ken Aina''s spirits lifted as her eyes gleamed, eager to see Blaze Regret''s disgrace.


    "Old me is ashamed. Despite decades of immersion in the path of alchemiat, I am not as enlightened as this young friend."


    Blaze Regret walked out slowly, with Park Lily standing respectfully beside him, his gaze full of admiration.


    "What''s going on?"


    Not only was Ken Aina dumbfounded, but Karthik and the anxious attendant were also slightly agape.


    "Master Park, you are too kind. I humbly accept these Purple Spirit Leaves," Blaze Regret smiled, returning the courtesy.


    "I must be seeing things," Ken Aina''s face turned pale, completely devoid of her earlier mocking demeanor.


    That was Park Lily, an authentic alchemist, showing such respect to Blaze Regret!


    "In the future, should the Blaze family need any assistance, I will offer my full support," Park Lily said with a bitter smile. "With you around, young friend, I doubt there will be much need for my help."


    "You are too kind, Master Park."


    After bidding farewell to Park Lily, Blaze Regret approached the attendant. With a flick of his finger, a bottle of Azure Spirit Liquid appeared. He smiled and said, "A token of appreciation for your hard work."


    "Young Master Blaze, you have hidden your talents well. I misjudged you. My name is John Hughes. If you need anything in the future, just use the Sound Transmitting Shell to inform me, and I will have it delivered to your residence," John Hughes said quickly, joy rising in his heart as he received the Azure Spirit Liquid.


    Working as an attendant at the Atlas Shop, he earned only a few dozen gold coins a month, so this rare medicinal liquid was extremely valuable to him.


    Ignoring Ken Aina''s complicated expression, Blaze Regret greeted Karthik and then left the Atlas Shop. At this moment, his Void Realms stone was filled with enough medicinal herbs to refine dozens of first grade pills.


    Only Blaze Regret, with Master Magi''s simulated alchemist cauldron, dared to be so audacious. Ordinary alchemists would find it challenging to refine even one pill per day, let alone produce so many at once.

 Chapter 43 - 43 Record of Mystical Beasts 1

    Returning to his room after a simple dinner, Blaze Regret closed the doors and windows. Not feeling entirely secure, he had Master Magi add a restriction in the courtyard, ensuring he would detect anyone approaching.


    The process of alchemist required utmost concentration. Even Park Lily used sound blocking devices to prevent external disturbances while refining pills.


    "Whoosh!"


    Releasing Red to sleep on the bed, Blaze Regret took out the simulated alchemist cauldron. He deeply engraved the recipe for a first grade pill in his mind. With a flick of his wrist, crimson flames began to rise.


    After obtaining the Medicine Emperor Seed, refining pills had become second nature to Blaze Regret. In just a quarter of an hour, he casually tossed a perfectly round pill onto the table.


    This scene repeated itself for several days.


    Despite the assistance of the simulated alchemist cauldron, Blaze Regret had to pause numerous times due to mental exhaustion, which was hard to dispel. Nonetheless, compared to ordinary alchemists, his speed was still astonishing.


    Even more gratifying was the significant reduction in the likelihood of producing defective pills.


    No matter how skilled an alchemist might be, none could claim a 100% success rate in pill refinement; failures were inevitable, with varying probabilities. In this regard, Blaze Regret had already surpassed any alchemist of the same level.


    "Damn, I''m exhausted!"


    With a wave of his hand, dozens of pill boxes appeared. Blaze Regret placed the pills inside one by one, then flopped onto the bed, spreading his arms wide.


    "Master Magi, are you sure this will work?"


    Early the next morning, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on his bed, staring doubtful at the floating Thunder Eagle in front of him.


    "When I make a move, how could there possibly be any problems?"


    Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret with irritation and flicked his sleeve. The medicine boxes from Blaze Regret''s void realms stone flew out and merged one by one into the Thunder Eagle.


    Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that although the Thunder Eagle possessed the strength of a warrior level beast, it was entirely composed of spiritual power and had no signs of life.


    After breaking through from warrior level, a spiritual beast reaches the commandor level, like Snow Ahmad''s Earth Split Scorpion or Blaze Peter''s Fire Wing Lion.


    "My name is Mat kilau. I enjoy traveling the continent. Meeting you is fate, so I''ll give you this pill."


    Just as Master Magi retrieved a pill box from within the Thunder Eagle, his laughter followed, causing the corners of Blaze Regret''s mouth to twitch involuntarily.


    "How foolish..."


    "Then think of something better. Or maybe just say you made the pill yourself and see if it brings you trouble!" Master Magi turned away in exasperation.


    "Don''t, I was just joking." Blaze Regret scratched his head and laughed dryly, "Let''s do it your way."


    Hearing Blaze Regret concede, Master Magi let out a cold snort, flicked his fingers, and the Thunder Eagle emitted a sharp cry, crashing through the window and flying out.


    "You did that on purpose!"


    Feeling the sudden rush of cold wind, Blaze Regret angrily let out a low growl that echoed through the room.


    Blaze Family''s backyard, outskirts.


    "Captain, we caught a Flame Monkey. Hehe, we hit the jackpot! We can sell it for a few hundred gold coins."


    Blaze Fuad, with an excited expression, held onto a rope. Within the rope, a Flame Monkey with flames swirling in its palm continuously burned the rope, its eyes fierce.


    "I''ll treat you tonight," Blaze Adam said with a light laugh.


    "Of course, the restaurants in the city, you can choose any." Blaze Adam patted his chest, extremely generous. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Wait, what''s that?"


    Suddenly, Blaze Adam''s heart moved as he looked at a rapidly approaching black shadow in the distance, his eyes gradually becoming serious.


    "Crack!"


    In an instant, the Thunder Eagle circled above their heads. Then, to the astonishment and nervousness of Blaze Adam and the others, it flapped its wings and dropped eight securely packaged pill boxes.


    "My name is Mat Kilau. I enjoy traveling the continent. Meeting you is fate, so I''ll give you these pills."


    Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Blaze Fuad gently opened the pill box that had landed in his palm and exclaimed, "This...is it the Wind Binding Pill?"


    "What?"


    And the cause of this change is the pill refined by Blaze Regret!


    Blaze Regret''s face was filled with black lines. Just as he was about to retort, his gaze suddenly froze as a signal came from the prohibition outside the door.


    "It''s that little girl from your Blaze family. I''ll leave first."


    Master Magi yawned, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the void realms stone around Blaze Regret''s waist. The light curtain in the air instantly shattered into golden dots and dissipated.


    "Cousin, look at this!"


    With a bang, the door to the room was pushed open, and Blaze Qistina, with an excited expression on her face, jumped directly in front of Blaze Regret. In the palm of her hand was a pale blue pill, emitting the unique fragrance of herbs.


    "It seems like I have one too."


    Blaze Regret smiled and casually touched the Void Realms stone. The Earth Flame Pill he refined a few days ago appeared in his hand.


    "It''s really hard to imagine that pie can fall from the sky. But this person is too generous. From the sound of it, it seems like everyone he meets is given a pill."


    "Not everyone, just those below the Spirit novice level."


    Just as Blaze Regret spoke, he regretted it. He was practically telling Blaze Qistina that he had a connection with that alchemist!


    "How did you know?"


    Sure enough, Blaze Qistina stared at Blaze Regret with a puzzled expression, her beautiful eyelashes fluttering.


    "I guessed." Blaze Regret lied without blushing.


    "Hehe, I''ll go refine it first. After using it with the Green Vine, I should be able to break through to the Fifth Rank."


    Fortunately, Blaze Qistina didn''t suspect anything. After nodding, she excitedly left Blaze Regret''s room.


    "Ugh!"


    Watching Blaze Qistina''s figure, Red on the bed, with his chin resting on the edge of the bed, had an inexplicable gleam in his bright eyes.


    "What''s wrong?" Blaze Regret turned his head.

 Chapter 44 - 44 Record of Mystical Beasts 2

    "Hehe, did you also feel it?" Master Magi suddenly floated out, his eyes flickering as he looked at Red.


    "What are you guys talking about?" Blaze Regret was completely confused, watching the two spiritual beasts seemingly communicating.


    "There''s a beastly aura on that little girl''s body." After a moment of contemplation, Master Magi slowly said.


    "A beastly aura?"


    "Have you ever heard of the Record of Mystical Beasts?" Instead of answering, Master Magi threw another question.


    "I haven''t heard of it." Blaze Regret scratched his head awkwardly.


    "The so called mystical beasts are actually not much different from spiritual beasts, but they possess a superior characteristic that ordinary spiritual beasts don''t have." Master Magi continued, "Spiritual beasts are divided into sixteen elemental attributes, but mystical beasts don''t belong to any specific attribute. Instead, they possess all attributes."


    "Wait a minute!" Blaze Regret''s head was spinning from the explanations. "Can you simplify it?"


    After pondering for a moment, Master Magi said helplessly, "In simpler terms, mystical beasts can ignore attribute restraints. For example, a wood attribute spiritual beast would receive the same amount of damage from both fire and lightning attributes. But mystical beasts can overcome all attribute restraints." S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret took a sharp breath. "Isn''t that unfair?"


    Attribute restraints are an unchangeable law among spiritual beasts. For example, a fire attribute spiritual beast can easily overpower a wood attribute spiritual beast of the same level.


    And yet, mystical beasts completely disregard this law!


    "From this perspective, mystical beasts are indeed heaven''s favorites. However, their numbers are extremely scarce. There are only thirty six of them in the entire continent."


    "Are you referring to those thirty six listed in the Record of Mystical Beasts?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi with a flickering gaze. "You''re so powerful, you must know their whereabouts, right?"


    "Impossible! Mystical beasts are like elusive mythical creatures. In all the years that the Spiritual Beast Continent has existed, there have been only a handful of sightings. Whether there are truly thirty six of them or not, it''s all just legend!" Master Magi said helplessly.


    "However, I never expected that even in the small Angtanar Empire, there would be a mystical beast present. That little girl has picked up some of its aura." Master Magi''s gaze finally became serious.


    "Mm!" Red nodded in agreement from the bed.


    Without waiting for Blaze Regret to ask, Master Magi continued, "The mystical beast ranked twenty first in the Record of Mystical Beasts is called Water Moon. It has the water attribute, but its strength is not considered to be very high."


    "Forget about it. Talking about this is pointless. Focus on improving your own strength. You may never encounter a mystical beast in your lifetime."


    Seeing the perplexed expression on Blaze Regret''s face, Master Magi waved his hand, clearly not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer. Seeing this, Blaze Regret could only pout in frustration.


    "Mystical beasts, huh?"


    With a look of longing, Blaze Regret patted Red''s head. "It looks like we need to accelerate our cultivation speed. Whether we can encounter one or not, who can say for sure."


    In the blink of an eye, the monthly distribution of spiritual liquid was approaching again. However, this time, many members of the Blaze family no longer held much anticipation in their hearts.


    Compared to elixirs, even the best medicinal liquid had to take a back seat! Moreover, many spiritual novice had directly broken through to spiritual warriors with the help of the elixirs! When the spirit beasts broke through, they naturally followed suit, and the first grade spiritual liquid, the Spirit Condensing Liquid, was no longer of any use to them.


    "Hmph, this time, let''s see what you all can do. Just some ants from small families, aren''t they all at my mercy to play with!"


    On the square, Kartis Man twisted the empty Void Realms stone in his hand, his gaze insidious. In his empty boundary stone, all the Spirit Condensing Liquid had been halved.


    "My Thunder Mink has reached the ninth rank. If anyone dares to make a move this time, I''ll just cripple them. In that case, even Blaze Ash won''t have anything to say about it."


    Thinking of this, Kartis Man''s mood became extremely joyful. Naturally, all the missing Spirit Condensing Liquid had been used by him. In just one month, his life bound spirit beast, the Thunder Mink, had risen to the ninth rank.


    Using others'' resources to enhance his own spirit beast felt truly satisfying!


    At this moment, some members of the Blaze family began to arrive one after another. However, their eyes lacked the usual excitement and enthusiasm.


    "This time, I will still be the one to distribute the spiritual liquid."


    Kartis Man cleared his throat and waved his hand, causing the Void realms stone to rotate. Bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid, only containing half the usual amount, floated in the air.


    "Why is there only half?" Blaze Qistina''s eyebrows furrowed slightly.


    "He''s just come up with another new trick," Blaze Regret said lazily, with his hands behind his head.


    The other members of the Blaze family simply looked at Bai Li indifferently. They already knew what kind of person he was.


    "Why are there so few people? Do they not want it anymore?"


    Seeing the crowd below, which was half the size it used to be, Kartis Man''s voice turned cold and displeased. "If you don''t come soon, don''t say I withheld the liquid."


    "They can''t come," Blaze Kamil shrugged helplessly. "Our captain''s spirit beast has broken through to the Warrior level, and several others have too."


    "Impossible!" Kartis Man was stunned. "What about the remaining people?"


    "They broke through too," Blaze Qistina said cheerfully, finally feeling a sense of retribution.


    "Impossible!" Kartis Man sneered. "With the Blaze family''s training conditions, it''s already impressive if one spiritual novice advances in a month. Who are you trying to fool?"


    Seeing no one respond, Kartis Man instantly became smug. "I knew I was right. Next time you lie, make sure to prepare your script well, or you''ll easily become a joke."


    "What an annoying guy," Blaze Regret said softly, looking up at Kartis Man from below the platform. "Whether you believe it or not, our Blaze family''s belongings are not something you can take at will. If you stretch your hand where it doesn''t belong, be careful it doesn''t get chopped off."

 Chapter 45 - 45 The Treasure Pavilion 1

    Kartis Man''s face changed slightly, and his voice grew cold. "Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?" S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret lightly tapped the void realms stone hidden under his clothes, a faint smile tugging at his lips. His dark eyes flashed with a fierce light. If it came down to a fight, with his seventh tier Red and Master level spirit techniques, the outcome would be uncertain.


    Kartis Man''s provocation had already made Blaze Regret decide to use the Earth Flame Pill ahead of schedule. Although this would significantly reduce the pill''s effectiveness, the thought of Kartis Man''s annoying face constantly in front of him was even more unbearable.


    Just as Blaze Regret clenched the Earth Flame Pill in his hand, a cold voice, filled with a chilling edge, echoed in the air.


    "His courage comes from me."


    A fierce cold wind swept past as a massive black shadow descended from the sky, landing firmly on the ground. The imposing Black Wind Leopard stared menacingly at Kartis Man.


    "Blaze Tot?" Blaze Regret''s heart stirred, and he smiled. It seemed like he wouldn''t need to take action today.


    "Warrior level?" Kartis Man''s eyelids twitched slightly, but he remained indifferent. "So, the Blaze family''s latest promoted spirit master is you. But I heard someone say that the Blaze family recently had quite a few new spirit warrior."


    "Yes, indeed, there are quite a few new spirit warrior," Blaze Tot raised his hand and lightly pointed.


    In the distance, a dozen figures flickered and quickly moved to the scene. Each person''s aura was unmistakably that of a genuine spirit warrior master!


    Seeing the sudden appearance of these dozens of people, Kartis Man''s pupils contracted, and his heart was in turmoil.


    These people were clearly only spirit novice a month ago; some were even inferior to him. How could they have broken through so quickly?


    "Now you believe it?" Blaze Azmir shrugged helplessly. "The world is vast, and there are many things you don''t believe in. Don''t use your limited perspective to judge everything."


    Kartis Man''s mouth opened slightly, but he couldn''t find a single word to refute.


    How could a small family promote so many spirit warrior masters in just one month?


    "What are with these medicinal liquids?" Blaze Tot glanced at the spiritual condensation liquid floating around the Void realms stone, his brows furrowing slightly.


    "He used them secretly," Blaze Regret yawned, speaking indifferently.


    "Hand them over."


    The Black Wind Leopard moved slowly, and Blaze Tot extended his hand. His cold voice made Kartis Man''s face turn ashen.


    Reluctantly retrieving the half bottle of spiritual condensation liquid in front of him, Kartis Man once again took out a pile of spiritual condensation liquid, but this time, all the bottles were completely full.


    "No matter what method you use, if there''s even a drop less the next time you distribute the spiritual liquid, I''ll break your legs."


    Blaze Tot glanced coldly at Kartis Man, then waved his hand, distributing the spiritual condensation liquid to everyone present.


    "Well, you''d better have the guts to do that."


    Thinking of the Kartis family backing him, Kartis Man regained his confidence and retorted, "Could it be that the Blaze family takes pride in bullying the weak, using the strength of spirit warrior masters to oppress spirit novice? Do you think that''s honorable?"


    "What did you say?"


    Just as Blaze Tot was about to lose his temper, a slender hand suddenly rested gently on his shoulder.


    "To deal with you, a spirit warrior master isn''t even needed."


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s refined face, half of Blaze Tot''s anger dissipated instantly.


    He knew very well that this guy''s true strength, even after his Black Wind Leopard''s breakthrough, was only low level Warrior, while Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat, once it broke through, would at least be mid level Warrior!


    "Just you?" Kartis Man was taken aback, then sneered disdainfully, "Your low level novice Scorching Flame Cat can''t even count as a threat. My Thunder Mink could tear it apart with one claw, so don''t embarrass yourself by coming over."


    "How about a bet?" Blaze Regret raised his eyelids slightly and smiled.


    "What are we betting?" Kartis Man snorted coldly.


    "In half a month, the Blaze family treasure vault will open. At that time, all spirit novice can go in and choose an item, and you can fight freely inside."


    "So, even if I cripple you, Blaze Ash can''t do anything about it?" Excitement flashed in Kartis Man''s eyes, and he looked at Blaze Regret as if he were a dead man.


    "The elders of the clan will grant you the qualification to enter. If I lose, you can do whatever you want with me. But if I win, your Void realms Stone will be mine," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    "Deal," Kartis Man laughed as he left. "Enjoy your remaining time as a normal person for the next half month."


    Watching Kartis Man''s retreating figure, Xiao Yang smiled faintly, a sharpness evident in his expression.


    "I really feel like beating you up right now."


    "Flame Claw!"


    Along a secluded path, a cold shout suddenly rang out.


    As the shout echoed, a petite, fiery figure shot out, with flames swirling around its claws, and directly tore towards a seventh rank Wind Wolf.


    "Howl!"


    The Wind Wolf let out a painful howl, its eyes flashing with ferocity. Just as it was about to retaliate, a fireball containing terrifying energy suddenly exploded from within its body, instantly obliterating it into pieces.


    Blaze Regret nonchalantly took the wind attribute spirit core from Red and tossed it into the Void realm stone.


    In recent days, he hadn''t wandered around the back mountain but had instead taken on some simple family tasks like the other clan members and started going out training.


    "Didn''t expect escort missions to be so troublesome."


    With a bitter smile, Blaze Regret quickly caught up with the caravan ahead. Besides the three slowly moving carriages, there were dozens of Blaze clan members surrounding them, but their strength was at least that of a spirit warrior.

 Chapter 46 - 46 The Treasure Pavilion 2

    "First time out, isn''t it?"


    Blaze Tot''s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he watched Blaze Regret efficiently deal with the seventh rank Wind Wolf. He then smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. The road ahead will get increasingly difficult, and it''s possible we''ll encounter swarms of spirit beasts at the Imperial level."


    Wiping the blood off Red, Blaze Regret reluctantly accepted this reality. Despite calling it training, with his strength, he was essentially just tagging along. The real heavy lifting was done by the spirit warriors.


    Still, even so, the benefits Blaze Regret gained from this process were considerable. After all, seventh and eighth rank spirit beasts were hard to find in the back mountain, but on this road, they were everywhere.


    Over the next half month, Blaze Regret continuously took on family tasks. Red''s spiritual power became increasingly refined, even showing signs of breaking through to the seventh rank.


    "Tomorrow is the day the Treasure Pavilion opens."


    Lying on his bed, bathed in cool moonlight like a layer of silver gauze, Blaze Regret''s half closed eyes glimmered with a faint chill. "Whatever your purpose for coming to the Blaze family, this is not a place where you can run amok."


    The next morning, at the Blaze family plaza.


    "Haha, finally, today has come. I wonder how far I''ll get this time. They say the highest level has offensive spirit techniques."


    Laughing heartily, Blaze Kamil looked up at the towering pavilion in the distance, his eyes filled with anticipation.


    "Even if there are offensive spirit techniques, they aren''t something we can easily enjoy. Never mind the difficulty of obtaining them, just the spiritual power consumed when using them is enough to exhaust us."


    Beside him, a young girl mercilessly pointed out.


    "Offensive spirit techniques, huh?"


    Muttering to himself, Blaze Regret felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Offensive spirit techniques were the rarest among all types of spirit techniques, and their value was comparable to that of a low grade Imperial level spirit crystal.


    "Who would have thought that such a small and simple family would have offensive spirit techniques? How rare, how rare."


    At that moment, a mocking voice came through. Kartis Man walked out slowly, a superior expression on his face.


    Although offensive spirit techniques were rare, they were not considered scarce in the Kartis family.


    Seeing him, the younger generation of the Blaze family frowned, their faces showing undisguised disgust.


    "You''re talking as if you have one," Blaze Qistina angrily retorted, feeling indignant at being belittled. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I don''t have one yet, but soon enough, I will," Kartis Man smiled challengingly at Blaze Regret. "Remember what I said half a month ago. If you lose, you have to shout at the intersection of the four major families in the city that Blaze Ash is a lapdog of the Kartis family. How about it?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret clenched his fist, his usually calm face gradually contorted with a fierce expression.


    "Kartis Man, you''re courting death!"


    "Talking tough is just the behavior of the weak."


    From a distance, Kartis Kai, with his hands behind his back, approached with a smile. "With your strength, you don''t even qualify to threaten Kartis Man."


    "Elder Kartis, you sure talk a lot."


    The door of the Treasure Pavilion creaked open, and Blaze Ash''s figure appeared before everyone.


    Seeing the sudden appearance, Kartis Kai''s old eyes slightly narrowed.


    "Are you confident?" Blaze Ash''s calm gaze turned to Blaze Regret.


    "At least eighty percent." Blaze Regret grinned.


    "You''re just putting on a show," Kartis Man sneered. He was fully confident that he could cripple Blaze Regret.


    Seeing this, Kartis Kai laughed sinisterly. "It seems the Blaze family is going to lose some face this time. Kartis Man, go easy on him. Don''t make the Blaze family head look too bad."


    "I will." Kartis Man smiled broadly at Blaze, his eyes gleaming with impatience.


    With a cold glance at Kartis Kai, Blaze Ash waved his sleeve, and dozens of red beams of light fell into the hands of the crowd, transforming into ancient red tokens.


    "These tokens will protect you from the mechanisms within the Treasure Pavilion."


    After explaining the function of the tokens, Blaze Ash continued to describe the rules of the Treasure Pavilion: "The Treasure Pavilion has nine levels, each with different restrictions. The higher your spiritual power concentration, the greater your chances of overcoming these restrictions. The higher you go, the more precious the items you''ll find."


    "Now, enter."


    As Blaze Ash''s words fell, the figures below stirred restlessly and quickly surged towards the Treasure Pavilion.


    Upon entering the pavilion, nearly forty different staircases came into Blaze Regret''s view. After a moment of consideration, he placed his foot at the base of one of them.


    "The higher you go, the greater the encounters, huh? I didn''t expect such a small family to have this kind of setup. Enough talk, I''ll be waiting for you at the top. I hope you have the strength to make it there."


    With a loud laugh, Kartis Man swiftly ascended, faint traces of lightning lingering in the air.


    Retracting his indifferent gaze, Blaze Regret began to climb. A faint but intense pressure immediately enveloped him.


    "This is meant for first level spirit novice, but it''s useless against me."


    Without using any spiritual power, Blaze Regret walked up the stairs leisurely. The first seven levels posed no obstacle to him at all.


    By this time, many clan members had already stopped, picking suitable items. When some failed to reach the eighth level, they could only smile wryly and linger on the seventh level.


    "Has no one reached the eighth level?"


    Pulling aside Blaze Qistina, who was holding a grass type spiritual herb, Blaze Regret asked with some doubt.


    "It seems only Blaze Kamil and Blaze Aniqi have made it to the eighth level." Blaze Qistina''s face was filled with joy; it was clear that the spiritual herb was very beneficial for her Green Vine technique.


    "I see."


    Blaze Regret nodded with a mix of amusement and helplessness. It seemed like the Blaze family was experiencing a bit of a gap in their ranks this time.

 Chapter 47 - 47 Blaze Regret Vs Kartis Man 1

    What he didn''t realize was that he was the primary cause. The elixirs he provided had promoted all the ninth level spirit Novice directly to spirit warriors, while those at the eighth level were waiting to use the elixirs to make a breakthrough to spirit warriors after reaching the ninth level.


    "What are you going to choose?" Blaze Qistina blinked her bright eyes. To her, Blaze Regret reaching this point with his sixth level spirit disciple strength was already his limit.


    "Let''s go up and take a look."


    Amidst the astonished gazes of the clan members, Red erupted from beneath Blaze Regret''s feet. With the sound of breaking wind, he swiftly shot up to the eighth level.


    "Did I... did I see that right?"


    Exchanging glances, they all noticed the shock in each other''s eyes. Is he really just a sixth level spirit Novice?


    Even an eighth level spirit disciple isn''t this formidable!


    Eighth floor of the Treasure Pavilion.


    Stabilizing his body, Blaze Regret glanced around and spotted Blaze Kamil and Blaze Aniqi selecting items.


    "Blaze Regret?" Seeing the sudden appearance, Blaze Aniqi was startled, "Aren''t you a sixth tier spirit Novice? How did you get to the eighth floor with its strong pressure?"


    "Just like this," Blaze Regret smiled slightly.


    "Brother Blaze Aniqi, don''t underestimate him. This guy has had three more years of spirit power cultivation than ordinary spirit disciples," Blaze Kamil laughed, patting Blaze Aniqi''s shoulder.


    Among the younger generation of the Blaze family, Blaze Kamil and others were the most aware of Blaze Regret''s strength. Every time he ventured into the mountains, he would inform them. They had personally witnessed how Blaze Regret''s strength gradually increased.


    "Are you aiming for the ninth floor?"


    Blaze kamil raised his head, looking at the staircase leading to the ninth floor, his eyes flickering slightly. The last floor was not easy to reach.


    "How will I know if I don''t try? Besides, someone is waiting for me up there."


    With a light laugh, Blaze Regret moved towards the stairs. As soon as he stepped onto the staircase, an overwhelming force of spirit power surged towards him, causing his breath to hitch. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "No wonder no one has ever reached the ninth floor. This pressure is no less than that of a spirit warrior."


    Muttering softly, Blaze Regret activated the spirit power within his spirit portal, directing it towards his legs. Under the watchful eyes of Blaze Kamil and Blaze Aniqi, he heavily stepped forward.


    "Thud!"


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret lifted his foot again. Each step left a deep imprint on the wooden stairs.


    "He actually made it up!" Blaze Aniqi''s mouth opened slightly, his eyes filled with astonishment.


    Treasure Pavilion, ninth floor.


    Similar to the previous eight floors, the ninth floor was divided into four rooms, each containing different items. However, the rarity of the items was worlds apart.


    "This room is filled entirely with spirit crystals?"


    Blaze Regret looked at a room filled with dozens of floating spirit crystals and couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. These were spirit crystals, and more importantly, there were so many of them!


    Although he was shocked, it was within Blaze Regret''s tolerance. A family''s accumulation over nearly ten years was indeed substantial.


    In the second room, there were dozens of spirit herbs, including some of the second tier. But like the spirit crystals, these items were optional for Blaze Regret at his current level.


    Entering the third room, he saw over a dozen suspended transparent glass spheres. Each sphere contained a slumbering spirit beast, and the lowest rank among them was mid tier Warrior level!


    "Lava Wolf?"


    Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on one of the glass spheres. Inside, a fire wolf was curled up, with its back resembling a piece of solidified lava, incredibly hard.


    "Tempted?" Master Magi''s figure appeared, smiling lightly. "The Lava Wolf, a mid tier warrior level spirit beast with immense potential, masters the spirit skill Lava Volcano. It can even fight higher tier Warrior level spirit beasts of the same rank. It is indeed a good choice for your second spirit portal."


    "However, before you become a spirit warrior, it is useless to you. If you are willing to trust me, after you break through to spirit warrior, I will give you a precious gift, the value of which will definitely satisfy you."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. After a while, he reluctantly looked away.


    "Really?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, a hint of cunning in his eyes.


    "Believe it or not." With a light snort, Master Magi disappeared into the void realms stone, unwilling to deal with Blaze Regret any further.


    Smiling secretly in his heart, Blaze Regret knew that Master Magi''s assurance was worth more than just a Lava Wolf; even the entire Treasure Pavilion couldn''t compare. The Medicine Emperor''s seed proved that well enough.


    Suppressing the little joy in his heart, Blaze Regret walked out slowly. His gaze turned cold as he looked at the last room. Kartis Man should be inside, right?


    "Not here?"


    Entering the final room, Blaze Regret''s brow furrowed slightly. All he saw were a dozen or so floating light clusters; there was no sign of Kartis Man.


    Taking a few steps, he stood in the center of the room. At that moment, a playful voice suddenly sounded behind him.


    "Finally, I caught you."


    Leaning against the doorframe, Kartis Man looked at Blaze Regret in the room with a smile, his gaze like a cat toying with a mouse.


    "So, how about it? Do you want to kneel and beg for mercy? If you stick your head out the window and shout ''Blaze Ash is a waste,'' I''ll let you go today. How about that?"


    Staring coldly at Kartis Man, who had a smile on his lips, Blaze Regret raised his hand slightly, and a fiery red magic array instantly intertwined in the air. Moments later, the petite figure of Red appeared from within.


    "You will pay for what you just said."


    Blaze Regret''s lips parted slightly, his voice carrying a chilling coldness.


    "Is that so?"


    Kartis Man waved his hand lightly, and a nearly ten foot long Floating Thunder Mink hovered in mid air, its broad wings flashing with dazzling lightning.

 Chapter 48 - 48 Blaze Regret Vs Kartis Man 2

    I''d love to see how your sixth tier Flaming Cat plans to defeat my Floating Thunder Mink."


    Lowering his gaze slightly, Blaze Regret nodded at Red.


    Immediately, the instructed Red let out a sharp cry and emerged from its Cat charm state, its beautiful white fur swaying among its bushy tail.


    "A seventh tier high level novice class spirit beast, the Scorching Flame Cat?"


    Kartis Man''s pupils shrank slightly before he chuckled, "So, you''ve changed your primary spirit beast, huh? Well, anyone would do the same if they had a useless spirit beast like that. But do you really think that this Scorching Flame Cat can stand up to my Floating Thunder Mink?"


    The spiritual pressure in the Treasure Pavilion had greatly benefited Blaze Regret. The constant pressure on his spiritual portal rapidly increased the concentration of his spiritual power, allowing Red to directly break through to the seventh tier.


    Hearing Kartis Man''s presumptuous assumption, Blaze Regret merely let out a light laugh. His voice, devoid of any emotion, came out, "Red, tear it apart."


    "Let''s see who tears whom apart!"


    Kartis Man''s face instantly turned ferocious. With a flick of his finger, the Floating Thunder Mink swiftly darted forward, appearing in front of Red in an instant. Its claw, crackling with lightning, slashed down mercilessly.


    Thunder Split Claw!


    Sensing the ferocity of the attack, Red became fully alert. Intense flames wrapped around its claws as it swung them upwards forcefully, causing two red streaks to flash through the air.


    Bang!


    The two disproportionate figures collided solidly before abruptly separating, retreating backward. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hiss!"


    With a sharp hiss, the Floating Thunder Mink quickly turned around, then spun violently. The rampant electrical energy gathered in front of it, faintly forming an energy mink equal to its size.


    "Let''s end this with the Thunder Shadow."


    Kartis Man''s voice drifted out gently, as if he had already pronounced Red''s death sentence.


    The radiant energy Float hovered in mid air, its domineering thunderous light flashing across its body, emanating a terrifying aura.


    "Hiss!"


    With a flap of its wings, the Floating Thunder Mink shot out, leaving a trail of dazzling lightning wherever it passed.


    "Let''s see how you block this!"


    Kartis Man''s lips curled into a sinister smile. The Floating Thunder Shadow, a spiritual skill only comprehensible by a ninth rank Floating Thunder Mink, had immense power, capable of easily killing a seventh Rank Flame Cat.


    The energy shock roared forward, but surprisingly, Red remained still, as if it hadn''t noticed, its eyes calm.


    "Scared stiff!" Kartis Man sneered disdainfully.


    However, the next moment, the energy shovk passed through Red''s body and crashed heavily into the wall, sending wooden debris flying as it exited the pavilion.


    "An afterimage?" Kartis Man''s pupils contracted.


    "Hiss!"


    The Floating Thunder Mink''s expression changed slightly, and its wings closed instantly. Behind it, a fiery red figure appeared, its claws burning with red flames, slashing out at a dizzying speed.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and the Floating Thunder Mink let out a mournful cry. Violent lightning surrounded its body, forcing Red back.


    When Kartis Man saw the wounds on the Floating Thunder Mink''s back, his face turned grim. There were dozens of ghastly wounds, blood flowing incessantly.


    Using both the Speed Claw and the Flame Claw simultaneously, their power was indeed terrifying!


    "How did you do it?"


    Kartis Man stared at Blaze Regret with a fierce gaze, unable to comprehend how Red had suddenly disappeared from its original position and reappeared behind the Floating Thunder Mink to launch such an unexpected attack.


    "Do I have an obligation to tell you that?"


    Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a faint smile. He certainly wasn''t going to reveal to Kartis Man that this was Red''s spiritual skill, Cat Illusion. In that instant, Red had created a decoy while its true body circled around to the back of the Floating Thunder Mink.


    If it were a warrior level spirit beast, it would have easily seen through this little trick. But a ninth tier Floating Thunder Mink clearly didn''t have that capability.


    "Hehe."


    Watching the Floating Thunder Mink stumble in mid air, Kartis Man let out a strange laugh, causing Blaze Regret to frown slightly.


    "Who would''ve thought you could make me use my true strength."


    Kartis Man spread his five fingers, with electric arcs dancing around them, and his cold voice slowly echoed, "Your Flame Cat should feel honored to die under this move."


    The Floating Thunder Mink, hovering in the air, had lightning flashing in its eyes. Its wings slightly folded as brilliant thunder energy quickly gathered between them. Within a few breaths, it had transformed into a thunderous slash, emitting an extremely violent aura.


    "Is this a low tier warrior level spiritual skill?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes slightly widened, and his expression turned exceedingly grave. He knew that as a member of the Kartis family, Kartis Man wouldn''t be without a hidden trump card.


    "This Thunderstrike Spirit Crystal was given to me by Kartis Van. He asked me to tell you that you''re not even qualified to be his opponent."


    "Slash!"


    The Floating Thunder Mink''s wings suddenly pulled back, and that thunderous slash burst out instantly, its terrifying energy capable of splitting a stone mountain in half.


    "Red, Flame Breath!"


    Red''s body trembled slightly, and three tangible streams of fiery red spiritual energy began to swirl around it. In that moment, its aura surged, reaching the eighth tier!


    "Flame Breath? Such a minor trick is useless in the face of absolute power," Kartis Man spoke indifferently, as if victory was already assured.


    The sharp whistling of the wind rushed past, and Red lifted its head slightly. Fiery red spiritual energy surged from its body, rapidly condensing in its mouth, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a fireball the size of a fist.


    "A low tier warrior level spiritual skill, Flame Sun?"


    Kartis Man''s eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke slowly, "I didn''t expect you to have such a fortune. Without Thunderstrike, I might have fallen here today. But there are no ''ifs'' in this world."


    The fireball rose gradually, and Red''s eyes turned fierce. The three streams of fiery red spiritual energy around it quickly intertwined like agile little snakes, merging into the fireball.

 Chapter 49 - 49 Blaze Regret Vs Kartis Man 3

    With the infusion of spiritual energy, the fireball immediately expanded, radiating a dazzling light like a blazing sun.


    "Whoosh!"


    The fireball, like a scorching sun, shot out violently. In the tense gazes of Blaze Regret and Kartis Man, it collided heavily with the thunderous slash.


    "Boom!"


    The collision unleashed a violent energy shockwave that instantly swept across the area, causing the floor to crack and fissures to spread wildly. The surrounding light orbs were also blown into disarray by the shockwave.


    "Your Flame Cat is doomed!" Kartis Man said harshly.


    Moments later, as the shockwave dissipated, both the Scorching Flame Cat on the ground and the Floating Thunder Mink in mid air came into view. The two spirit beasts were motionless, as if time had stopped.


    "Snap!"


    Moments later, Red''s tail lifted slightly before it collapsed onto the floor.


    "Haha, you lost!"


    Kartis Man laughed maniacally, but before his laughter could fade, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth. His gaze turned disbelieving towards the Floating Thunder Mink in mid air.


    From his position behind the Floating Thunder Mink, Kartis Man couldn''t see that the creature''s abdomen had been blasted open, leaving a gaping, bloody hole. Only now did the blood begin to drip, staining the shattered floor red.


    "It seems like the one who lost is you."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly as he opened the spiritual portal and retrieved Red. The latter had collapsed merely because the Flame Breath technique had drained all its spiritual energy.


    Although Blaze Regret''s spiritual power was more abundant than that of an average spiritual novice, the synchronization speed of the spiritual energy was still limited, leading to the earlier scene.


    The Flame Breath technique was so complex that only one in a hundred Scorching Flame Cats could comprehend it; it wasn''t merely about a superficial increase in strength.


    "I told you, you would pay for those words."


    Just as kartis Man was about to flee, Blaze Regret''s ghostly voice suddenly whispered in his ear, making him shiver all over.


    "What do you want?"


    Kartis Man glared viciously at Blaze Regret. The death of the Floating Thunder Mink was a massive blow to him, rendering him powerless for at least three months. Naturally, he had no goodwill left for the harmful of his misery.


    "Even now, you''re still so aggravating."


    Blaze Regret sighed softly, extending his slender hand and slapping Kartis Man''s face hard.


    "Smack!"


    The temporary ringing in his ears made Kartis Man pause for a moment. Then he roared, "How dare you hit me? I''m from the Kartis family! When I return, I''ll bring people to wipe out your entire family and exterminate your clan!"


    "You want to die!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes turned completely cold as he gathered spiritual energy into his right knee. In an instant, to Kartis Man''s terrified and furious gaze, he thrust his knee hard into Kartis Man''s abdomen!


    "Bang!"


    A muffled sound echoed, and Kartis Man''s body instantly curled up like a shrimp. At this moment, the anger in his eyes had completely vanished, replaced solely by a deep, pervasive fear.


    Struggling to lift his head, he looked at the refined face of the young man in front of him. Only now did he truly understand that Blaze Regret had never considered his Kartis family status significant from the beginning!


    His so called sense of superiority was nothing but a ridiculous joke!


    In front of the Treasure Pavilion, figures gradually stepped out, gathering in the square and engaging in excited conversations.


    "I got a Rock fruit, which can enhance the power of my Rock Scroll Stone. I''ve hit the jackpot!"


    "Damn, such good luck? I only reached the sixth level and picked an ordinary spirit herb."


    Amidst the noisy chatter, Blaze Qistina wasn''t in the mood to talk. Her watery eyes were tightly fixed on the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Neither Blaze Regret nor Kartis Man had come out yet. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Bang!"


    At this moment, from the ninth floor, a burst of lightning accompanied by shattered wood exploded outward. In the end, amidst a sharp mink''s cry, it turned into countless light spots and dispersed, leaving only the scattered wood chips falling.


    "Are they fighting?"


    Not only Blaze Qistina, but everyone in the square also held their breath slightly, then quickly shifted their gazes to the broken pavilion, their eyes serious.


    "Heh, this kid Kartis Man still strikes so ruthlessly."


    Kartis Kai shook his head with a smile, as if reprimanding, "Patriarch Blaze, my apologies. If your young master is accidentally injured, please be forgiving."


    His demeanor made it seem like he had already envisioned Kartis Man trampling Blaze Regret.


    "Same to you," Blaze Ash said calmly, raising his head.


    The old eyes narrowed slightly, and Kartis Kai laughed, "Patriarch Blaze, you really know how to joke."


    "How do you know it''s definitely my cousin who will lose and not your precious grandson?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Qistina looked at Kartis Kai angrily and retorted.


    With a snort of derision, Kartis Kai clasped his hands behind his back, a look of arrogance on his face, clearly unwilling to engage with Blaze Qistina. He thought it was a joke, how could Kartis Man, a ninth stage Spirit novice, possibly lose?


    "Hehe, confidence is a good thing, but being too arrogant will only make you a laughingstock..."


    Ahmad kamal, who suddenly appeared, smiled faintly. However, just as his smile faded, there was a loud bang that resounded in the air.


    "Bang!"


    On the ninth floor of the Treasure Pavilion, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a large hole suddenly appeared. Then, everyone saw a disheveled figure fall out, crashing heavily onto the ground, causing the entire square to shake.


    "Kartis Man!"


    Seeing the figure clearly, everyone in the square had their pupils contract sharply. Immediately, the sound of people gasping for breath could be heard one after another.


    Kartis Man lay on the hard ground, his hair disheveled, bloodied teeth scattered around his face, and an undeniable look of fear deep in his eyes.


    He really wanted to kill me

 Chapter 50 - 50 Sunfire Finger and Sun Flame Wall

    His heart filled with fear, Kartis Man trembled as he turned his head, casting a pleading look at Kartis Kai.


    "Sorry, you lost."


    Inside the Treasure Pavilion, a figure stepped forward slowly, lightly tossing an void realm stone in his hand, his expression calm.


    Kartis Kai stared at Kartis Man''s blood covered face in shock, clearly still reeling from the recent events.


    "Mission accomplished," Blaze Regret said with a smile, turning his gaze to his father Blaze Ash.


    "How is this possible..."


    Kartis Kai staggered, and then an overwhelming killing intent erupted from his body. His face twisted with rage, "Boy, you''re ruthless! How dare you injure Kartis Man like this!"


    His angry voice echoed as he waved his sleeve, and an imposing Thunder Steed charged out. The Thunder Steed, about ten feet in size, had dark lightning flickering across its body.


    A Demon Thunder Steed?!


    Many of the Blaze family members'' expressions changed. Kartis Kai was attacking Blaze Regret!


    The ferocious Demon Thunder Steed, stepping on dark thunderclouds, charged violently toward Blaze Regret. Wherever it passed, black streaks appeared in the air, marks left by the demonic lightning.


    The terrifying energy of the lightning surged, making Blaze Regret''s skin prickle with pain. Cursing under his breath, he quickly tried to mobilize his inner spiritual energy to use the Flame Step technique. But to his horror, he discovered that his spiritual energy was somehow obstructed, and its flow had slowed down significantly!


    This Demon Thunder Steed, just by its sheer presence, had him firmly suppressed. It was clear that its strength was far beyond the Imperial level!


    "Damn, it''s at the Lord level!"


    Blaze Regret gritted his teeth. No wonder the Kartis family was such a powerful family. Even an ordinary elder had the strength of a Spirit Lord, enough to become the head of a family in Veloria City!


    As thoughts raced through his mind, the Demon Thunder Steed had already reached him. Its hooves, charged with dark lightning, were poised to stomp through his chest!


    "Kartis Kai, how dare you attack a member of my Blaze family! Do you think we are easy targets?"


    A cold shout rang out, followed by flames sweeping in like a red cloud. They struck the Demon Thunder Steed, sending it flying dozens of feet away.


    The energy released from the collision made Blaze Regret''s nose and mouth bleed, and the ground beneath his feet cracked open, with fissures rapidly spreading.


    Using the force of the shockwave, Blaze Regret quickly retreated, stepping back dozens of times before stabilizing himself. His gaze was extremely serious; a Lord level spirit beast was indeed formidable. Just the aftershock of the collision was enough to instantly kill the top spirit novice.


    If either side had used a spirit technique just now, he would have been reduced to bones!


    After colliding with the imposing Fire Spirit Lion, the Demon Thunder Steed, surrounded by black lightning, quickly separated. It was only a fourth rank lord, while the Fire Spirit Lion was a seventh rank lord. Continuing the fight would only lead to its own death!


    "The Kartis family is truly becoming more and more degenerate. I wonder if Kartis Bob also engages in such bullying tactics in the central empire," Blaze Ash said coldly, glancing at Blaze Regret to ensure he was unharmed.


    Seeing the murderous intent flickering in Blaze Regret''s eyes, Kartis Kai clenched his fist tightly. After a moment, he slowly released it, knowing that today he could not seek justice for Kartis Man.


    If it weren''t for the family head''s orders not to act rashly, he would have already brought people to flatten this place!


    With resentment in his heart, Kartis Kai walked toward Kartis Man. He placed a healing pill in Kartis Man''s mouth and was about to lead him away from the square.


    "Wait a moment!"


    At that moment, Blaze Regret suddenly shouted.


    Under the gaze of astonished onlookers, Blaze Regret quickly walked toward Kartis Man, his speed causing fear to flash in Kartis Man''s eyes once again.


    He was already terrified of Blaze Regret!


    "Don''t worry, I won''t hit you today."


    Seemingly to reassure Kartis Man, Blaze Regret reached inside Kartis Man''s clothes. After a bit of searching, he pulled out a fiery red book.


    A spirit technique, "Sun Flame Wall"!


    "Father, this doesn''t count as breaking the rules, right?"


    Blaze Regret scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed as he glanced at Blaze Ash. Then, with a flick of his void realms stone, a fiery red light orb flew out and landed in his left hand.


    Each person who enters the Treasure Pavilion can only choose one item, so Blaze Regret ''borrowed'' Kartis Man to take out an extra spirit technique. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You little rascal." Blaze Ash shook his head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, then waved his hand, clearly in a good mood. "Alright, just this once. No one is allowed to imitate this in the future!"


    Hearing this, the clansmen in the square all chuckled.


    Kartis Man, who was being carried by Kartis Kai, nearly blacked out and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.


    He finally realized just how much of a rascal Blaze Regret truly was!


    In the courtyard, Blaze Regret lazily leaned against the tree trunk, a void realms stone dancing rhythmically between his fingers.


    "I thought everyone in the Kartis family was filthy rich, but it turns out they''re poorer than me."


    With disdain, Blaze Regret put away Kartis Man''s void realms stone and took out two books radiating a fiery red glow. They were the Sunfire Finger and the Sun Flame Wall.


    "Master Magi, do spiritual arts have levels?" Blaze Regret asked.


    Appearing on the tree branch, Master Magi held a broad leaf and, with a ghostly presence, began to explain slowly.


    Unlike spiritual skills, spiritual arts do not have strict power classifications. They grow stronger with the spiritual master''s progress. Moreover, the more potent the master''s spiritual energy, the greater the power of the spiritual arts.


    With Blaze Regret''s current strength, if he were to use the Sunfire Finger, it could penetrate the body of an eighth rank high level novice class spiritual beast. On the other hand, the Sun Flame Wall could withstand a full force attack from a ninth rank high level novice class spiritual beast.

 Chapter 51 - 51 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 1

    The difference between offensive and defensive spiritual arts lies in their energy consumption. Offensive arts consume a vast amount of spiritual energy, whereas defensive arts require only a minimal amount to maintain. Therefore, defensive spiritual arts are fundamental for a spiritual master''s survival.


    If Kartis Man had a defensive art similar to the Sun Flame Wall, even if Blaze Regret defeated the Floating Thunder Mink, he could only stare helplessly.


    Time quietly passed by.


    Under the dense tree canopy that resembled dark clouds, a figure stood motionless. A gentle breeze blew, causing a few emerald green leaves to flutter down like broken winged butterflies.


    At that moment, the figure''s eyes suddenly opened, a sharp glint flashing within them. His fingers began to emit a faint red glow.


    "Sunfire Finger!"


    With a low shout, Blaze Regret brought his fingers together like a drawn sword and thrust them forward forcefully. The intense heat emanating from his fingers caused the moisture in the emerald green leaves to evaporate rapidly.


    "Hiss!"


    Without the slightest resistance, Blaze Regret''s fingers pierced through the leaves and continued their momentum, striking heavily against the thick tree trunk.


    "Boom!"


    His fingers, glowing with fire, embedded themselves deep into the trunk. When he pulled them out, a small, charred hole appeared on the tree''s surface.


    In the tree canopy, Master Magi yawned out of boredom. With a wave of his hand, a few leaves detached from the trunk, slicing through the air like spinning blades and hurtling downward.


    "Sun Flame Wall!"


    Hearing the sharp sound from above, Blaze Regret''s body tensed instantly. He thrust his palms forward, and a faint red spiritual energy surged, forming a thin, tangible wall that stood in front of him.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    The sharp leaves struck the Sun Flame Wall directly, embedding themselves at an angle but unable to penetrate further.


    Exhaling lightly, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. After a day of practice, the Sun Flame Wall could now withstand the attacks of a ninth rank high level Novice class spiritual beast.


    "You''ve made some progress, but there''s still a way to go. Although you''re currently only a seventh rank spiritual novice, the density of your spiritual energy rivals that of a first rank spiritual warrior. If you can advance further, even some imperial class spiritual beasts won''t be able to break through your defenses."


    Despite his words, Master Magi nodded in satisfaction. After just one day, Blaze Regret had managed to master two spiritual techniques simultaneously, showcasing his remarkable talent.


    Seeing Blaze Regret finally stop his practice, a trembling Red, who had been playing with a sandworm in the bushes, joyfully dashed over, wagging its little tail.


    "Tap! Tap!"


    Just then, a commotion of footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the courtyard, interspersed with a few angry shouts. The entire Blaze family seemed to be in turmoil at that moment.


    "It seems something has happened," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, a heavy feeling settling in his heart.


    How long had it been since such a situation occurred? The last time was when the family had just arrived in Veloria City and went to war with the Snow family.


    "Blaze Tot, what''s going on?"


    As soon as Blaze Regret stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the hurried expression on Blaze Tot''s face and quickly pulled him aside to inquire.


    Catching his breath, Blaze Tot smiled bitterly and said, "Just now, the Second Elder sent word that the family''s convoy transporting goods outside was attacked, suffering heavy losses."


    "What? What about my father?" Blaze Regret''s eyes turned icy cold as he scanned the surroundings, not seeing the figure he was looking for.


    "Don''t mention it. Isn''t the Angsana Pavilion Festival about to start? The people from the Angsana Pavillion Workshop summoned the heads of the four major families this morning. The Snow family probably took advantage of this gap to launch a devastating attack on our family," Blaze Tot said with a bitter smile.


    "Blaze Regret, hurry back to your room. All the family members who have reached the level of spiritual warrior have already gone out to provide support. I need to head there quickly too."


    Waving his hand, Blaze Tot quickly ran out with the Blue Flame Beast by his side.


    Several figures flashed past in front of him, and a cold gleam gathered in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    Returning to the courtyard, Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi, who was leisurely floating in mid air, and softly said, "I need your help."


    Shaking his head slightly, Master Magi replied helplessly, "I only promised to help you with your training. I have no obligation to save your family members. In my current state, every time I make a move, I suffer backlash, unless..."


    "Unless what?" Blaze Regret asked urgently.


    "Unless you can find a part of my original body." A sly look flashed in Master Magi''s eyes.


    "No problem. As long as you can help the Blaze family out of this danger today, you can even refine me if you want." Seeing that Master Magi was willing to help, Blaze Regret felt a quiet relief and quickly agreed.


    "It''s not that terrifying. It''s still early. Perhaps after you participate in that Angsana Pavilion Festival, you''ll have the qualification to help me find my original body."


    Master Magi nodded in satisfaction and looked at Red. "I can''t intervene directly. I''ll need to borrow your body. This process might be extremely painful."


    "Woof!"


    With a determined look in its eyes, Red glanced at Blaze Regret and firmly nodded its little head.


    "Then endure it!"


    Master Magi''s face suddenly turned serious. He formed a seal with his hands, and a wide beam of light, about ten feet in diameter, descended from the sky, enveloping Red. Golden runes slowly rotated along with the spinning beam of light.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones breaking echoed as Red''s body rapidly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, it grew to human size. Its fluffy tail, like a burning flame, waved in the air, exuding a wild aura. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Woof!"


    Enduring the pain, Red let out an angry Cat howl. Its Cat paw extended, and its claws, sharp as blades, sliced a piece of hard rock in two.


    Finally, its body trembled, and a faint red ripple spread out, causing even the air to distort slightly.

 Chapter 52 - 52 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 2

    "Is this still Red?"


    Looking at Red, whose back was already reaching his chest, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and sigh quietly.


    "If the Scorching Flame Cat grows to the Imperial level, it would indeed look like this." Slowly drifting down, Master Magi''s body appeared somewhat illusory, and his voice sounded weak.


    "Are you saying that Red is already at the imperial level now?" Blaze Regret looked at the majestic Red, his eyes filled with shock. At the same time, the terror he felt towards Master Magi rose another level. The ability to enhance a spirit beast''s strength with a wave of the hand could only be described as terrifying!


    "Act quickly. This Flame Cat can only maintain its current state for half an hour. Once that time is up, it will revert to its original strength," Master Magi shook his head and floated back into the void Realms stone at Blaze Regret''s waist.


    "Don''t worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise to you."


    Thinking silently, Blaze Regret patted Red''s fluffy head, his eyes turning cold: "So, it''s the Snow family. Your plans are going to fall apart!"


    Outside the ancient city, on a small path in the western suburbs.


    This road was always a necessary route for Blaze family''s goods transportation, remote and quiet, but now it was dotted with bloodstains.


    "Brother Blaze Along, run quickly! Blue ken is too strong, we can''t hold him off!"


    A despairing cry rang out. A member of the Blaze family, his eyes filled with fear and anger, stared at a tall figure not far ahead. Beside him, a blood-stained Thunder Eagle struggled to flap its wings, as if it might fall down at any moment.


    "Blue ken, you have no enmity with the Blaze family, so why attack us suddenly?" Blaze Along gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on the young man known as Blue ken.


    "You''ve been rooted in Veloria City for just over a decade, and you think you can compete with the Snow family?"


    Blue Ken sneered disdainfully, gently patting below him. There lay a tall Phosphorescent Tiger, glaring ferociously at the figures ahead. Its claws, stained with the blood of numerous spirit beasts, exuded menace.


    "Aren''t you afraid that our Blaze family''s patriarch and elders will seek revenge for what you''re doing?"


    Feeling a sinking sensation in his heart, Blaze Along understood that Blue Ken was here to assist the Snow family, leaving no room for negotiation. He could only speak while seeking an opportunity to escape. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His strength was only that of an eighth tier spirit warrior, whereas Yuan Tong had been a spirit imperial for many years, someone he could not possibly contend with!


    "So what if they seek revenge? Do you think I, Blue Ken, am afraid of your Blaze family? Put away those petty thoughts. Today, none of you will leave here alive."


    Blue Ken''s cold laughter echoed as the Phosphorescent Tiger immediately stood up. Its body, as massive as a small mountain, was robust and imposing, making Blaze Along''s face turn decidedly grim.


    "Attack, tear them apart!"


    Upon receiving the command, the Phosphorescent Tiger let out a roar that shook the forest, its body dashing forward with a fierce wind. In an instant, it was beneath Blaze Along''s Thunder Eagle, its sharp claws solidified with hard rock, heavy and lethal.


    "Smack!"


    With a sweeping blow, the Thunder Eagle, unable to dodge in time, was thrown into the air. Feathers, crackling with lightning, fluttered down, and the pitiful screeches of the eagle echoed around.


    Forcibly stabilizing its stumbling form, the Thunder Eagle''s broad wings flapped vigorously, and in an instant, six lightning spears appeared out of thin air around it, then shot down with a brilliant radiance.


    As the lightning spears descended, the Phosphorescent Tiger showed no signs of defense, astonishingly confronting them with its bare body.


    "Crack!"


    The lightning spears struck, and immediately, under Blue Ken''s mocking gaze, shattered inch by inch. The surging electric currents circled the Phosphorescent Tiger''s body a few times before disappearing.


    "What a pity, lightning attribute attacks are ineffective against my Phosphorescent Tiger," Blue Ken sneered.


    Turning his head to look at Blaze Along''s extremely grim expression, Blue Ken''s lips curled slightly, as if he were pitying him.


    It was common knowledge among spirit masters that rock attribute spirit beasts could be immune to lightning attribute spirit beast attacks. This was because the former''s body structure did not conduct electricity. Therefore, unless a lightning attribute spirit beast attacked directly with its body, it couldn''t harm them.


    "Everyone, help Brother Blaze Along!"


    One of the clansmen, seeing the situation, looked at the others. Their spirit beasts were all wood attribute spirit beasts, known as the Withered Vines, which, although weaker, had a certain degree of control ability.


    "Got it!"


    With determined eyes, they commanded their spirit beasts to charge. In an instant, dozens of thick vines wove together like a giant green net, enveloping the area.


    The vines had a wide coverage, and the Phosphorescent Tiger was tightly bound. The more the vines tightened, the more sharp thorns emerged from them, attempting to injure the tiger.


    Having worked together for a long time, these people had developed a strong sense of teamwork. They once used this technique to take down a low tier imperial level spirit beast, earning them some renown within their family.


    Unfortunately, that spirit beast was without a master, whereas the Phosphorescent Tiger currently had a spirit master controlling it!


    Seeing their target bound, the Thunder Eagle in the sky circled once before diving down like a meteor, heading straight for the Phosphorescent Tiger. Its slightly curved talons gleamed sharply, like metal.


    "Tiger Rend Claw!"


    Watching this scene, Blue Ken''s eyes remained indifferent. However, his voice turned icy, clearly indicating that he had lost patience with these insignificant pests.


    The Phosphorescent Tiger spread its arms, creating a gap in the giant vine net. With a swift slash of its lightning fast claws, the vines quickly snapped apart. Its blood red eyes then shifted abruptly toward the incoming Thunder Eagle.


    "Roar!"


    The enraged tiger''s roar echoed as it swung its paw, causing an enormous rock pillar to materialize and hover in front of its palm. The pillar then began to spin rapidly, sending fragments of stone flying.

 Chapter 53 - 53 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 3

    As the stone fragments flew, the tip of the rock pillar sharpened, exuding a fierce aura.


    Mid tier imperial level skill: Phosphorescent Rock Spike!


    "Whoosh!"


    With a swift movement of the tiger''s claw, the sharp rock pillar shot out violently, like a spear piercing the sky, heading straight for the Thunder Eagle, seemingly tearing through space itself.


    "Thud!" Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Without any surprise, the Thunder Eagle''s body was directly pierced through, falling like a bird with broken wings, emitting a sorrowful cry. The rock pillar spear left a gruesome wound in its body.


    Leaping high, the Phosphorescent Tiger ruthlessly pinned the falling Thunder Eagle to the ground, its fierce gaze suggesting it would tear out the eagle''s throat in the next moment.


    "Let it go!" Blaze Along''s eyes were wide with rage, the pupils turning a crazed blood red.


    "Shh, don''t make a noise."


    Feigning mystery, Blue Ken placed a finger to his lips, then looked at the Phosphorescent Tiger and smiled, "As a reward, this Thunder Eagle will be your dinner tonight."


    "Roar!"


    The Phosphorescent Tiger, pleased, shook its head and opened its massive, bloody maw, ready to bite the Thunder Eagle''s throat amid the anguished gazes of Blaze Along and the others!


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as the sharp teeth of the Phosphorescent Tiger were about to touch the Thunder Eagle, a clear Cat call suddenly echoed from afar, sweeping through the mountain forest.


    Hearing this sound, Blue Ken squinted slightly, then turned to look behind him, his face showing a hint of surprise. The ferocious Phosphorescent Tiger also halted its action of biting the Thunder Eagle''s neck, staring intently in the direction Blue Ken was looking.


    "Swish!"


    The next moment, a sharp whistling sound pierced the sky. A dark shadow swept past everyone''s heads, crashing heavily to the ground like a meteor, sending dirt flying everywhere.


    As the yellow mud settled, under the watchful eyes of many, a cold eyed Flame Cat gently swayed its tail with an imposing demeanor. On its back sat a figure in a black robe, their face completely obscured by the large hood, making it impossible to see their features.


    Lifting his face, Blaze Regret sniffed the scent of blood lingering in the air and frowned slightly. He then gently stepped down from the back of the Flame Cat. Upon seeing his seriously injured clansmen and the Thunder Eagle pinned under the Phosphorescent Tiger''s claws, a cold glint flickered in his eyes.


    Fortunately, no one had died yet.


    "Sir, I hope my business here hasn''t troubled you," Blue Ken said, his face changing slightly upon noticing the imperial level strength of the Flame Cat. However, he didn''t take it too seriously. The number of spirit imperial in the entire Veloria City could be counted on one hand.


    He didn''t believe that the suddenly appearing Blaze Regret would aid the Blaze family; it was most likely a mere coincidence.


    "Is the heavens really dooming us?"


    Seeing another spirit imperial appear, Blaze Along''s lips curled into a bitter smile. He instinctively thought that this newly arrived spirit imperial was undoubtedly an ally of the Snow family. One Blue Ken was already enough to drive them to despair. Adding another spirit imperial would be enough to crush them instantly.


    "Did you do this?" Blaze Regret asked Blue Ken slowly, his voice tinged with a faint killing intent.


    "Yes, and so what? What does it have to do with you?" Blue Ken was momentarily stunned, then a cold glint surged in his eyes. He had clearly sensed Blaze Regret''s hostility towards him.


    This person is an enemy, not a friend!


    By now, if he still didn''t understand, Blue Ken wouldn''t be worthy of being called a spirit master. However, he wasn''t the least bit afraid. Instead, he immediately prepared to confront Blaze Regret head on. Both being spirit imperial, it was yet to be seen who was stronger.


    "Phosphorescent Tiger, kill that Thunder Eagle first!"


    Upon hearing Blue Ken''s command, the Phosphorescent Tiger''s bloody maw immediately descended to tear at the Thunder Eagle pinned under its claws, causing the bird to let out a heart wrenching cry.


    "No!" Blaze Along''s face turned ashen.


    With eyes as dark as the night narrowing, the Flame Cat''s paw lifted gently and then stomped down fiercely. In the blink of an eye, it swiftly crossed paths with the Phosphorescent Tiger under everyone''s gaze, like a whirlwind.


    As if oblivious, the Phosphorescent Tiger bit down into empty air, the sound of its teeth clashing resounding in everyone''s ears.


    Ten meters away, the Flame Cat gently placed the Thunder Eagle it held in its mouth on the ground, then turned to stare coldly at the ferocious, rock like Phosphorescent Tiger.


    "A mid level imperial spirit skill, Cat Flash?"


    Blue Ken licked his lips and chuckled, "Interesting. It''s been a while since I''ve seen a new spirit imperial. Friend, why hide your face and not dare show your true self?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret laughed lightly, "What are you, but a lackey trying to curry favor with the Snow family? Do you think you are worthy of knowing me?"


    Blue Ken''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his mouth twitched. Usually, he was the one saying such things to others, not the other way around.


    "How annoying," Blue Ken''s eyes turned completely cold, a sinister smile curling up his lips, "Arrogant fool, I hope that after your Flame Cat is killed, you can still maintain that haughty demeanor."


    "Phosphorescent Tiger, kill it!"


    Facing the equally formidable Flame Cat, the Phosphorescent Tiger did not underestimate its opponent. Its tiger claw extended, quickly enveloped by hard, gray rock, and then it charged forward suddenly.


    Cold wind swept past, and the Flame Cat retreated lightly. The tiger claw, sharp as a blade, grazed past its throat, lifting a few strands of red fur into the air.


    Having missed its target, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in the Phosphorescent Tiger''s eyes. It turned its claw and struck the ground heavily, causing several sharp stone spikes to burst from the earth, like a row of spears, continuously thrusting toward the Flame Cat.

 Chapter 54 - 54 Blaze Regret Vs Blue Ken 4

    Reflected in the black eyes of the Flame Cat were the stone spikes relentlessly coming at it. With a disdainful flick of its tail, the Flame Cat spun lightly, shattering the stone spikes that could penetrate a ninth tier spirit beast into mere rubble.


    "What?"


    Staring at the scattered stone fragments, an ominous feeling crept into Blue Ken''s heart. The strength of this Flame Cat might very well surpass that of his Phosphorescent Tiger!


    "We have to go all out. Phosphorescent Tiger, use the Phosphorus Rock Armor!"


    Without any reservations, sharp rock spikes rapidly sprouted from the Phosphorescent Tiger''s body, covering it entirely, making it look like a porcupine.


    "Bang!"


    The two beasts collided fiercely once more, the violent wind mixed with dirt swept around them. As the two spirit beasts continued their fierce battle, cracks began to appear on the small path beneath them, resembling a spiderweb of fissures.


    "So strong!"


    Putting the severely injured Thunder Eagle back into his spirit portal, Blaze Along was filled with shock. This was the clash between imperial level spirit beasts, far beyond what any ninth tier spirit beast could compare to!


    Dodging the Flame Cat''s sweeping claws, the Phosphorescent Tiger suddenly leaped high, spreading its arms wide, its claws transformed into rock. With a mountain splitting stance, it fiercely slashed down. However, this terrifying attack, which could tear apart a spirit beast of the same level, was easily deflected by the Flame Cat''s fluffy tail.


    The Flame Cat''s tail was extraordinarily flexible, like a swimming fish. When the Phosphorescent Tiger''s claws struck it, it felt like they were sliding over a layer of rubber, unable to exert any force.


    "A imperial level Phosphorescent Tiger, and this is all it can do? It doesn''t seem as formidable as I imagined," Blaze Regret remarked with a faint smile. Currently, the Flame Cat had the strength of about a sixth tier Imperial level.


    Although he couldn''t fully discern the capabilities of Blue Ken''s Phosphorescen Tiger, he could keenly sense from their exchanges that the latter was significantly outmatched by the Flame Cat.


    "Too naive," Blue Ken''s eyes darkened as he spread his palm, causing grayish white light to flicker continuously. "Your Flame Cat may be of a higher tier than the Phosphorescent Tiger, but don''t forget, rock type spirit beasts counter fire type ones!"


    The Phosphorescent Tiger, engaged in combat with the Flame Cat, roared in anger and swiftly retreated several steps, creating a wide distance between itself and the Flame Cat. It then raised its head high, and the space above it began to distort suddenly.


    Grayish white spiritual energy surged from its body and converged in mid air, quickly transforming into numerous grayish white rocks, emanating a vast and powerful aura.


    "Phosphorus Rock Bombardment!"


    With a fierce wave of its paw, the Phosphorescent Tiger sent the floating rocks plummeting down like meteors, tearing through the air and raining down upon the Flame Cat below, covering it entirely!


    Rocks fell from the sky with piercing whistles, crashing heavily onto the ground around Flame Cat, creating pits instantly.


    "Let''s see how you dodge this!"


    Blue Ken sneered. His Phosphorescent Tiger had taken down countless spirit beasts at the Imperial level with this skill, and now, it was about to claim a fire attribute Imperial level spirit core.


    "A range attack skill, Phosphorus Bombardment..."


    Calmly watching the falling rocks, a faint smile slowly spread across Blaze Regret''s face. "Since you''ve exhausted your tricks, just lie down quietly."


    "Whoosh!"


    In a flash, Flame Cat, like a red shadow, dodged a rock that was about to hit its waist. With a swift step, dazzling flames burst forth from its body, instantly turning the stone debris on the ground into dust.


    "What is this?" Blue Ken''s eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease surged in his heart.


    Flame Cat''s eyes coldly locked onto the Phosphorescent Tiger. Its body slightly crouched before it shot out like a sharp flaming blade, splitting the rock in front of it in half!


    The strongest attack skill of a Imperial level Scorching Flame Cat, Scorching Flame Soul!


    "Swish!"


    Under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, Flame Cat turned into a streak of flame, piercing through the Phosphorescent Tiger''s body. Behind it, a long flame trail dragged out like a tangible entity, lingering for a long time.


    Flame Cat stood behind the Phosphorescent Tiger, its red fur fluttering in the wind. At this moment, everything was silent. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a soft snort, Flame Cat indifferently turned around and slowly walked towards Blaze Regret. The moment it reached him, the tall Phosphorescent Tiger''s eyes dimmed and it collapsed with a loud crash.


    Watching this scene, Blue Ken''s pupils contracted, and an unhealthy flush appeared on his face.


    "The Phosphorescent Tiger... is dead?"


    Blaze Along and the others watching the battle let out a long sigh of relief. Their gazes towards Blaze Regret now carried a deep sense of fear and apprehension.


    Blue Ken had quite a reputation in Veloria City, yet today, he had fallen at the hands of a stranger.


    "Who exactly are you?" Blue Ken demanded coldly while rapidly conjuring a spirit Portal. Even though the death of his Phosphorescent Tiger had dealt him a significant blow, he still had enough spiritual power to summon a second spirit portal.


    A grayish white spirit gate appeared, and a menacing Rock Serpent emerged from it. Blue Ken quickly leaped onto its back, casting a venomous look at Blaze Regret before attempting to flee.


    "You''ve got guts, daring to interfere with the Snow family''s affairs. Once I report this to Snow Fazlin, you won''t even have a place to be buried!"


    Snow Fazlin was the head of the Snow family!


    Listening to Blue Ken''s hateful words, Blaze Regret smiled faintly. "Since you''re here, don''t think about leaving."


    Red''s figure blurred, and within a few breaths, it landed on the Rock Serpent''s back. In Blue Ken''s terrified gaze, Red swung a claw.


    "Slash!"


    Blood splattered. Blue Ken clutched his throat with both hands, his eyes filled with despair, and he made incoherent, struggling sounds.

 Chapter 55 - 55 Snow Fazlin 1

    The next moment, he fell from the Rock Serpent''s back, his body still twitching slightly.


    With Blue Ken''s death, a look of confusion flashed in the Rock Serpent''s eyes. It swiftly flicked its tail and darted into the forest.


    With the Spirit Master''s death, the contract automatically dissolved. The Rock Serpent didn''t have a deep bond with Blue Ken and had no intention of avenging him.


    Red extended its tail, probing into Blue Ken''s clothing. With a gentle shake, a sandalwood box traced an arc through the air and landed in Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "Is this the Hundred Healing Pill?"


    Blaze Regret chuckled softly, surprised that Blue Ken had some wealth. Although the price of the Hundred Healing Pill wasn''t as high as strength enhancing pills like the Mu Li Pill, each one still fetched around three thousand gold coins. And there were four pills in this wooden box.


    "These are for you."


    With a glance at Blaze Along and the others, Blaze Regret''s expression softened. He closed the sandalwood box and tossed it over.


    "Snap!"


    Catching the wooden box, Blaze Along was somewhat dazed. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the black robed figure already seated on the back of the Scorching Flame Cat, swiftly departing and disappearing in the blink of an eye.


    "We survived!"


    A member of the Blaze family beside Blaze Along collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted, not caring about the bloodstains. His heart was filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.


    "We''re safe here, but what about the Second Elder?"


    At this thought, a look of worry reappeared on Blaze Along''s face. If nothing had gone wrong, the Snow family''s Great Elder, Snow Azrul, and Second Elder, Snow Ahmad, must have already gone to intercept Blaze Peter. If the Blaze family''s Great Elder were present, there would be no need to fear, but right now, Great Elder Blaze Wahab was still at Bloodstone Pass.


    This meant that Blaze Peter would have to face Snow Azrul and Snow Ahmad simultaneously!


    "Let''s hope that mysterious person isn''t just acting on a whim and is truly here to help the Blaze family," Blaze Along muttered, looking into the distance.


    Veloria City, Batas Shop. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Similar to Atlas Shop, Batas Shop was also one of the stores under the Angsana Pavilion, ranking alongside Catas Shop and Batas Shop. However, its scale was evidently much larger than that of Atlas Shop.


    At this moment, in the hall of the Batas Shop, four middle aged men were seated. The attending servants looked at these individuals with a sense of apprehension because they were all Lord Spirit Masters!


    Lord Spirit Masters represented the highest combat power in Veloria City, and today, they had all gathered in this small hall!


    "Hehe, masters of the families, rest assured. After the matter is settled, Angsana Pavilion will not treat you poorly."


    An elder seated at the head of the hall stroked his beard and smiled lightly. "And, regardless of the final outcome, Angsana Pavilion will each present you with a Hun Yuan Pill."


    Upon hearing the name Hun Yuan Pill, even the patriarchs of the four great families were slightly moved.


    The Hun Yuan Pill was an extremely miraculous type of first grade pill. Unlike the Earth Flame Pill and Mu Li Pill, which could only be refined by spirit beasts with specific attributes, this pill had no attribute restrictions. As long as a ninth tier novice level spirit beast consumed it, it could instantly break through to the Warrior level!


    "Angsana Pavilion indeed has a grand gesture."


    The stern faced patriarch of the Met family couldn''t help but let out a long breath. Even his serious face now bore a satisfied smile.


    Seeing the change in expressions of the four, the elder also smiled. After all, the four great families were the local overlords of Veloria City. Building a good relationship with them was beneficial and harmless. The so called Angsana Pavilion Festival was precisely an opportunity to foster good relations with the local powers.


    Otherwise, who would hold such a boring event?


    Directly giving away items would only make oneself appear inferior. This method not only allowed the acquisition of precious spiritual medicines and herbs from special regions but also fostered friendships with local powers, achieving two goals with one action.


    Thinking of this, the elder couldn''t help but silently praise the master of Angsana Pavilion for his incredible wisdom.


    "Since the matter is settled, we won''t disturb you any longer."


    Having achieved their goal, Met Intan, the patriarch of the Met family, smiled and cupped his hands toward the elder. The other patriarchs, including Blaze Ash, also stood up and cupped their fists in farewell.


    "Wait a moment."


    At this moment, Snow Fazlin suddenly stopped everyone. He glanced at Blaze Ash with a smile emerging on his face. "Gentlemen, why not wait a bit? I, Snow, invite you to watch a good show. What do you think?"


    Seeing Snow Fazlin''s insincere smile, Met Intan and the others were somewhat bewildered but remained silent, only staring at him in confusion.


    With his brows slightly furrowed, Blaze Ash spread out his spiritual sense. His gaze suddenly shifted sharply to the elder of the Batas Shop, and an icy, furious shout echoed abruptly.


    "Mat Kun, you''re courting death!"


    Blaze Ash''s furious roar echoed in the hall. For a moment, the surrounding air seemed to solidify.


    A hint of confusion flashed in their eyes as the heads of the Sky and Met families, Sky Rodzi and Met Intan, respectively, slightly furrowed their brows. Their questioning gazes then shifted to Mat Kun, the owner of the Batas Shop.


    "Brother Blaze, what do you mean by this?" Mat Kun''s eyes flickered as he spoke slowly.


    "Blaze Ash, you are bold indeed, daring to provoke Senior Mat Kun. Do you not regard the Angsana Medicine Pavilion behind him?" Snow Fazlin sneered.


    Blaze Ash''s eyes flashed with a fierce light. He let out a cold snort, and with a sudden wave of his sleeve, a stream of flames shot out violently, crashing onto the roof. Instantly, wooden fragments flew everywhere.


    "What do you intend to do?" Mat Kun''s heart sank as he stared coldly at Blaze Ash.

 Chapter 56 - 56 Snow Fazlin 2

    Ignoring him as if he didn''t exist, Blaze Ash raised his hand, and a suction force suddenly erupted. Immediately, a dark shadow fell swiftly from the hole he had created, and he caught it in his hand.


    It was a giant conchs shell, its surface engraved with spiral patterns. It was unmistakably a sound transmitting conchs.


    "A Imperial level sound transmitting snail?"


    Seeing the item in Blaze Ash''s hand, both Met Intan and Sky Rodzi were slightly surprised. Sound transmitting conchs belonged to the sonic type spirit beasts and were not rare. However, those circulating in the market were generally at the warrior level. This was the first time they had seen a Imperial level sound transmitting conch.


    In truth, sonic type spirit beasts were very rare. Besides the sound transmitting conch, many people didn''t even know of the existence of other sonic type spirit beasts.


    Moreover, sound transmitting conchs had a peculiar characteristic: if a higher level conch was present, the lower level ones would be completely suppressed!


    This also explains why such a massive incident happened outside, yet Blaze Ash was completely unaware of it.


    "Mat Kun, could you please explain to me what this is?" Blaze Ash gently raised the sound transmitting conch, his voice laced with a chilling killing intent that made the nearby servants shiver.


    "Master Blaze, are you implying that this sound transmitting conch belongs to me? Do you have any evidence? Falsely accusing someone is not a good habit," Mat Kun replied with a faint smile.


    Met Intan and Sky Rodzi exchanged glances, then returned to their seats, picked up their teacups, and watched the scene with great interest.


    They had long known that the Snow family and the Batas Shop were on good terms. It seemed that these two forces were now joining hands against the Blaze family. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Who would have thought that Blaze Ash, known for his stern demeanor, would stoop to lying so easily," Snow Fazlin said, though he was surprised at how Blaze Ash had detected the presence of the sound transmitting conch. At this moment, his heart was filled with joy because the incident outside would lead to the downfall of the Blaze family, potentially even its destruction.


    "Crack!"


    With a cold expression, Blaze Ash crushed the sound transmitting conch into pieces under Mat Kun''s pained gaze. He opened his hand, and the fragments, mixed with white powder, flowed out of his palm.


    "Beep!"


    Just as the Imperial level sound transmitting conch shattered, the sound transmitting conch in Blaze Ash''s Void Realms stone began to ring frantically. The sharp sound echoed through the silent hall.


    "Master, the southern squad outside the city was ambushed. Three spirit warriors were severely injured, and all the goods were destroyed!"


    "Blue Ken, it''s Blue Ken! Master, Blue Ken has attacked us. Captain Blaze Along is critically injured!"


    "Blaze Ash, I was attacked by Snow Azrul and Snow Ahmad. I can hold out for at most another quarter of an hour. If you don''t come now, be prepared to collect my corpse!"


    Hearing the continuous sounds coming from the sound transmitting conch, Blaze Ash''s face grew increasingly grim. When Blaze Ash''s voice echoed, a surge of killing intent flashed rapidly in Blaze Ash''s eyes.


    "Half an hour has already passed..."


    Sky Rodzi rotated the jade ring on his finger and sighed inwardly. The Blaze family was finished.


    Not only Sky Rodzi but also Met Intan had similar thoughts. However, a faint shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes as he glanced at Snow Fazlin. Among the four great families, the Snow and Blaze families were the strongest. With the fall of the Blaze family, the balance of power would be utterly disrupted, potentially igniting countless conflicts.


    "Mat Kun, Snow Fazlin!"


    With a chilling killing intent swirling in his eyes, Blaze Ash curved his two fingers and swiftly struck out. A crimson beam of light tore through the air, speeding toward Snow Fazlin and Mat Kun like lightning.


    A full force strike from a Spirit Lord could easily kill a Imperial level spirit beast!


    The beam whistled toward them, prompting Snow Fazlin to respond immediately. He clenched his fist, and several thick branches rapidly swirled in front of him like a shield, colliding heavily with the beam.


    "Bang!"


    A wave of energy swept through the area, making Mat Kun''s face exceptionally gloomy. "Blaze Ash, do you intend to make an enemy of my Angsana Pavilion?"


    "Hmph, do you think you can represent the entire Angsana Pavilion?"


    Blaze Ash transformed his fingers into a palm, and a fiery summoning array quickly appeared in front of it. Vaguely, a pair of magnificent fire feathers emerged from the array, gently flapping.


    "It''s not the Fire Spirit Lion."


    Met Intan and Sky Rodzi''s eyes narrowed slightly. While the three great families knew each other well, the sudden rise of the Blaze family left them with many questions.


    Today, perhaps Blaze Ash''s trump card would be revealed.


    "Fool, you really fell into the trap. As long as I join forces with Mat Kun, I don''t believe I can''t kill you today. Truly, heaven is helping the Snow family!"


    Feeling excited in his heart, Snow Fazlin watched as two thick branches descended behind him. The massive body connected to the branches had already touched the ceiling of the hall.


    A Lord level spirit beast, the Withered Wood Demon!


    "If that''s the case, then this old man will have to teach you a lesson!"


    Mat Kun knew exactly what Snow Fazlin was thinking, but taking down Blaze Ash would only benefit him. If the Snow family could help the Batas Shop win the Angsana Pavilion Festival, then most of the market share in the city would belong to him!


    "Whoosh!"


    Before Blaze Ash, gigantic fiery feathers fully unfolded. A spirit beast resembling a fire crane flapped its magnificent fire wings, exuding nobility and elegance. Its eyes seemed to look down on everything with disdain.


    "The Fire Spirit Crane?"


    Sky Rodzi and Met Intan''s hands trembled slightly, causing a few drops of tea to spill from their cups. Their eyes were filled with astonishment. Unlike the Withered Wood Demon, the Fire Spirit Crane was born as a high level Spirit Lord, whereas the Withered Wood Demon had been forcibly elevated by Snow Fazlin bit by bit to reach a mid level Spirit Lord.

 Chapter 57 - 57 Snow Fazlin 3

    "Lucky fellow, to have such a rare spirit beast!"


    A hint of envy flashed through Snow Fazlin''s eyes, and his chilling voice suddenly rang out, "Even if it''s a high level Lord, it doesn''t change the fact that all your clansmen have already been eliminated!"


    "Bang!"


    Just as Snow Fazlin''s voice fell, a massive black shadow smashed through the roof and crashed heavily in front of everyone, causing the entire ground to seem to tremble for a moment.


    A dark figure plummeted to the ground like a meteor, and the solid floor instantly shattered like a spiderweb. When the dust settled, everyone in the hall gasped in shock. At the center of the spreading cracks lay a withered tree demon, its branches mostly destroyed, barely clinging to life. Its only intact branch tightly bound two spiritual masters together.


    And those two spiritual masters were none other than Snow Azrul and Snow Ahmad!


    Staring at the pale faced pair, Snow Fazlin was first stunned andq then quickly turned expressionless, as if unable to believe what he was seeing.q


    In an instant, the previously tense hall fell into a deathly silence.


    Everyone''s gaze slowly shifted upward. On the beam above, a figure in a black robe gently swung his legs, while behind him, a fierce and wild Scorching Flame Cat looked down coldly.


    "Who are you?" Snow Fazlin, the first to react, glared at Blaze Regret with a contorted face, roaring. Behind him, the branches of the withered tree demon extended rapidly, flashing with a sharp light at their tips.


    "Who I am is none of your business," Blaze Regret said as he stroked the Scorching Flame Cat''s fur, his cold gaze fixed directly on Mat Kun. "As a member of the Angsana Pavilion, you conspire with the Snow family and recklessly make enemies with other families. Aren''t you afraid the Angsana Pavilion will hold you accountable?"


    Hearing this, Mat Kun''s expression changed slightly, and he responded coldly, "I don''t care what grudge you have with the Snow family, but to act so brazenly on the territory of the Batas Shop with just a spiritual Imperial''s strength is to completely disregard me." sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret said with a half smile as he looked at Mat Kun. "The voice transmission shell of a Imperial level should have a soul imprint, right? Should I take it to the Angsana Pavilion and have someone authenticate it to see if the Batas Shop will still belong to you?"


    Hearing this, Mat Kun was startled, his face fluctuating between different expressions. If the Angsana Pavilion found out about this, his good days would likely be over!


    Gazing at the figure on the beam, Blaze Ash subtly curled his lips, his eyes flickering with thoughts unknown.


    "Let me tell you a story."


    On the beam, Blaze Regret snapped his fingers lightly and smiled at Snow Fazlin. "I injected a strand of spiritual power into the spiritual portals of the two elders from the Snow family. If they don''t receive treatment within half an hour, their spiritual portals might never open again in this lifetime."


    With a face darkened by fury, Snow Fazlin glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. Then, he swiftly grabbed the two elders and dashed out of the hall, his cold voice echoing back.


    "I don''t care who you are. Within three days, I will have your head!"


    Unfazed, Blaze Regret chuckled and then turned his gaze to Mat Kun, his smile completely replaced by coldness.


    "Ahem, an urgent matter has suddenly arisen in my clan. I must take my leave."


    Met Intan and Sky Rodzi had no intention of staying to watch the drama. After a dry cough, they quickly cupped their hands in farewell. Some things are better left unknown.


    "Mat Kun, what exactly is your relationship with the Snow family?"


    After the two had left, Blaze Regret stared at the old man before him, enunciating each word clearly.


    Hearing this, Mat Kun''s gaze sharpened slightly, then he coldly chuckled. "Blaze Ash, after all these years, your nature hasn''t changed a bit."


    Just about to leave, Blaze Regret froze in his tracks. It seemed he had overheard something quite significant.


    With his clawed hand open, crimson spiritual power swirling around his fingertips, Blaze Regret gazed hauntingly at Mat Kun, his eyes resembling a wolf ready to devour its prey.


    "Actually, there''s no real relationship," Mat Kun shrugged and said. "Before coming here, someone approached my subordinates and asked me to cause trouble for the Blaze family. The reward was too generous to refuse."


    Blaze Ash''s eyes suddenly opened wide as he spoke slowly, "No matter how many benefits there are, you need to be alive to enjoy them."


    "If this were a dozen years ago, I wouldn''t dare. But now, it seems you no longer have the ability to threaten me," Mat Kun laughed. "Of course, my main target is still to eliminate Mark. If you''re interested, we can collaborate."


    "Heh, you overestimate me. I don''t have the guts to go against Angsana Pavilion," Blaze Ash shook his head and began to walk slowly towards the door. "However, if there''s a next time, I guarantee that even with the backing of Angsana Pavilion, you won''t see the light of another day."


    As he watched Blaze Ash''s departing figure, Mat Kun interlaced his fingers, his gaze turning icy.


    Sighing regretfully, Blaze Regret quickly grabbed the fur of Red and left the Batas Shop before Mat Kun could turn his attention back.


    Breathing in the fresh air outside the shop, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel his spirits lift.


    "Unfortunately, I didn''t hear the information I wanted," Blaze Regret shook his head.


    "Stop regretting and move quickly. Your Scorching Flame Cat is about to revert to its original form!"


    At this moment, Master Magi''s cold voice echoed from the Void Realm Stone.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret snapped back to reality, breaking into a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran in the direction of his family''s residence.


    However, he had no idea that, at that very moment, a distant figure standing on the back of a Fire Spirit Crane had his hands behind his back, quietly observing him.

 Chapter 58 - 58 Get Out of 1

    Back in his room, after closing the doors and windows, Blaze Regret looked at Red, who had reverted to a high level novice, and couldn''t help but feel a sense of relief.


    "Gurgle!"


    He casually opened the Void Realm Stone, and two spirit cores at the Imperial Master level spun briefly before lying quietly on the table, emitting a gentle glow.


    "Hehe, such a great supplement!"


    With a light laugh, Master Magi burst out from the Void Realm Stone, grabbed a spirit core in each hand, and, like munching on fruit, swallowed both spirit cores in an instant.


    As the two spirit cores disappeared, Master Magi''s body faintly became more solid.


    "Spirit cores are useful to you?"


    Seeing Master Magi patting his stomach in satisfaction, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with joy. If it was just spirit cores, he could easily get his hands on more.


    "They were useful just now. I expended too much spiritual power to enhance your Scorching Flame Cat''s strength, temporarily lowering my rank to imperial Master level, so the spirit cores at this level could barely be of use to me," Master Magi said, glancing at Blaze Regret.


    "And now?" Blaze Regret''s joy instantly dissipated, and he asked nervously.


    "Now, I need spirit cores at the Lord level, and they have to be fresh," Master Magi said teasingly, looking at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret''s lips twitched slightly, and he cursed inwardly. Lord level spirit cores were rare even in the entire Veloria City, and they had to be fresh. This task was as difficult as asking him to refine a third grade pill right now.


    "From now on, your Blaze family will have a hard time," Master Magi shook his head and lay down on the bed, stretching comfortably.


    Blaze Regret remained silent. The Snow family''s actions this time were not ineffective. Although they failed to eliminate the main forces within the family, all the goods they were responsible for transporting were completely destroyed.


    "This is really a big problem now."


    "Hmph, where did this rat come from, daring to spoil the Snow family''s plans!"


    At the head of the hall, Snow Fazlin slammed the table heavily. The dull sound made the already oppressive atmosphere even more stifling.


    "Cough, cough, that guy should not be from Veloria City."


    Leaning weakly against the back of his chair, Snow Azrul spoke with difficulty. Each word he uttered felt like it was tearing his chest apart. Even though he had taken a first grade pill, his injuries wouldn''t fully recover for months.


    Beside Snow Azrul, Snow Ahmad''s face was pale and dazed. Unlike the former, his Earth Splitting Scorpion had been directly torn in half by the Scorching Blaze Cat, losing its life on the spot.


    This meant that although he still had the strength of a spiritual Imperial, he could no longer wield it.


    This was worse than being killed.


    Of course, there was another solution: forming a new spiritual contract. But finding a suitable spirit beast was no easy task.


    "Father, actually, we didn''t come away empty handed this time."


    At this moment, a handsome young man in white, seated to the right of the head of the hall, spoke with a smile, "The First Elder and Second Elder have done enough. The Blaze family''s goods have been destroyed completely. If we spread the news now, within half a month, the Blaze family will be crushed by their creditors."


    Snow Fazlin''s eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, a trace of undisguised coldness flashing in his eyes.


    "Yes, as long as we add a little catalyst, the Blaze family will be doomed!" Snow Azrul clenched his fists, a vicious smile on his face.


    The next morning. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The news of the Blaze family''s financial troubles spread like wildfire throughout Veloria City.


    "Master, the Pan family has come to demand the deposit paid three months ago."


    In the hall, Blaze Along hurriedly ran in, respectfully handed a folded white paper to Blaze Ash, and said with a bitter smile.


    "Hmph, this is the sixth wave already. These dogs are just fair weather friends. Do they really think my Blaze family has fallen?"


    Sitting in a chair, Blaze Peter angrily gulped down some tea and cursed.


    Casually throwing a gold card to Blaze Along, Blaze Ash glanced at Blaze Regret and softly said, "Did you write it down?"


    "Pan family, noted."


    Blaze Regret neatly wrote the two characters in his notebook. If the members of the Pan family saw this scene, they would shiver uncontrollably. Blaze Ash''s vengeful nature was in no way inferior to his strength.


    "We''ve sold everything that can be sold, including the items in the Treasure Pavilion. If this continues, we might have to sell our land next." Blaze Peter listened to the commotion outside the door, his voice somewhat hoarse.


    The lost goods amounted to just over a hundred thousand gold coins. But once the Snow family spread rumors, the families cooperating with the Blaze family swarmed in, fearing they''d lose everything if the Blaze family collapsed.


    "Patriarch, four tenths of the merchants in the market have already left, all moving to the Snow family''s territory." At this moment, another clan member entered the hall, a trace of despair on his face.


    "What are you panicking for? When we first came here, we had nothing. At worst, we''ll start over again." Blaze Ash squinted his eyes and spoke slowly.


    Blaze Peter opened his mouth but could only manage a bitter smile. For the older generation, it didn''t matter much to start over, but it was the young members of the family who would suffer.


    "Heh, it looks like the Blaze family is in quite some trouble this time."


    A loud laugh echoed as Kartis Kai and Ahmad Kamal entered the hall one after the other, their smiles clearly tinged with mockery.


    "Senior Kartis Kai, can your grandson stand up yet?" Blaze Regret looked up, sincerely gazing at Kartis Kai, and asked.


    Upon hearing this, the smile on Kartis Kai''s face instantly froze, replaced by a deep malice. Despite Ahmad Kamal spending a fortune on several pills for Kartis Man, it would still take at least half a year for him to fully recover. Missing out on this golden period of training could result in immeasurable losses.

 Chapter 59 - 59 Get Out 2

    "Speak your piece," Blaze Regret said calmly, eyes closed and head unraised.


    "Hehe, I''ve come to help the Blaze family resolve its crisis. If an alchemist were to step forward, rumors of the Blaze family''s financial troubles would naturally dissipate." Ahmad Kamal sat down boldly beside Blaze Peter, smiling.


    This was no exaggeration. An alchemist''s influence was immense. If Ahmad Kamal intervened, the Blaze family could easily overcome this hardship.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Peter couldn''t help but snicker. He didn''t believe Ahmad Kamal would be so kind, especially considering that a few days ago, Blaze Regret had just beaten his prized apprentice into bedrest.


    "What''s the condition?" Blaze Ash slightly opened his eyes, calmly looking at Ahmad Kamal.


    "Talking to a smart person is refreshing. What I want isn''t particularly valuable. I heard that the head of the Blaze family possesses a rare necklace. Could you bring it out for us to admire?" Ahmad Kamal chuckled, looking expectantly at Blaze Ash.


    "Hand over that necklace, and Master Ahmad Kamal will personally craft thirty pills for you. If needed, I can also help you eliminate the Snow family." Kartis Kai rubbed his hands together, a hint of excitement on his face; his goal at the Blaze family''s house was within reach!


    "Get out."


    Blaze Ash''s indifferent voice, devoid of any emotion, quietly echoed.


    "Blaze family head, you should think this through." The excitement that had barely surfaced on Ahmad Kamal''s old face froze as his voice turned suddenly sinister.


    Since becoming an alchemist, Blaze Ash was the first to dare tell him to get out!


    "Father, that necklace..." Blaze Regret hesitated.


    "That was your mother''s keepsake."


    With a soft sigh, Blaze Ash spoke quietly, his eyes momentarily dazed as if recalling something.


    Seeing his father suddenly appear much older, Blaze Regret trembled.


    "Blaze family head, don''t regret this!" Ahmad Kamal''s face turned grim.


    Just as Ahmad Kamal began to utter his threat, a fierce gust of wind struck harshly in front of him. An enraged roar followed, making his ears ring.


    "Get out!"


    Maintaining the posture of having thrown something, Blaze Regret glared at Ahmad Kamal with bloodshot eyes, anger bubbling within him.


    If he''d known the status of an alchemist was so useful, he would''ve revealed his trump card right away.


    Damn it, who isn''t an alchemist nowadays?


    Blaze Regret was secretly annoyed. It wasn''t really his fault; he hadn''t fully experienced the influence and authority of an alchemist yet. After all, becoming an alchemist had been surprisingly easy for him.


    "Ahmad Kamal, I''ve always said there are always people better and skies beyond skies. While an alchemist may be precious, the vast Veloria City isn''t home to just one."


    Standing up, Blaze Regret coldly stared at Ahmad kamal, his voice exceptionally icy.


    "You''re not about to claim that you''re an alchemist too, are you?" Ahmad Kamal''s lips curled into an exaggerated sneer, as if he''d just heard the funniest joke in the world.


    "Haha, a sixteen year old alchemist? Blaze Ash, has your son lost his mind?" Kartis Kai also sneered, his eyes full of disdain.


    Do they really think alchemists are so common that anyone can impersonate one?


    "Let me in, I''m not here to collect a debt!"


    At this moment, a commotion erupted outside. The people in the hall turned their gazes towards the source, their brows furrowing slightly.


    Soon after, an old voice, tinged with urgency, echoed into the hall.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, are you here? Park has a question to ask!"


    "Where did this countryside bumpkin come from, causing such a ruckus and breaking the rules?" Hearing the noise from outside the hall, a trace of displeasure flashed in Kartis Kai''s old eyes as he snorted coldly.

    "Who knows, maybe it''s some poor relative of the Blaze family," Ahmad Kamal also sneered sarcastically.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend!"


    Just as Kartis Kai''s voice fell, a figure rushed in hurriedly, scanning around with a particularly nervous look.


    "Master Park Lily?"


    Seeing who it was, Blaze Ash and Blaze Peter both twitched their eyelids, quickly stood up, and cupped their hands in salute. Kartis Kai, however, stood there as if struck by lightning.


    The newcomer turned out to be an alchemist?


    As the top powerhouses in Veloria City, they naturally knew Park Lily very well and were acutely aware of how prestigious an alchemist''s identity was.


    "Park Lily, what are you doing here?" Ahmad Kamal asked, puzzled.


    "None of your damn business!"


    Catching his breath, Park Lily glanced at Ahmad Kamal and turned away in a huff.


    As fellow alchemists, the two naturally had numerous interactions, though they were far from friendly. They had competed for business countless times.


    "Master Blaze, is young friend Blaze Regret here?"


    Seeing Blaze Ash''s confusion, Park Lily scratched his head a bit awkwardly and laughed dryly, his voice tinged with a bit of anxiety.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Ash was momentarily stunned. He then raised his hand and pointed to the thin figure obscured by the crowd.


    Ignoring the astonished gazes around him, Park Lily took out a piece of white paper from his clothing and hastily stuffed it into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "Master Blaze, whether I can break through to a second grade alchemist depends entirely on you!"


    Park Lily said expectantly, "This prescription was a gift from Angsana Pavilion. As long as I can master the method of refining this particular pill, I can easily break through to a second grade alchemist. Unfortunately, I''ve tried dozens of times without success."


    "Park Lily, what are you, crazy?"


    Beside him, Ahmad Kamal looked at Park Lily oddly, somewhat perplexed. This guy must have gone mad from alchemist. How could he seek advice from a young boy on such matters?


    Kartis Kai and the others were equally dumbfounded. Especially Kartis Kao, who, upon realizing Park Lily''s identity, instinctively took a step back. Fortunately, Park Lily did not hold a grudge. Otherwise, even as a member of the Kartis family, publicly insulting an alchemist would have serious consequences.


    "Oh, a Purple Fire Pill?"

    Blaze Regret took the prescription, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice, tinged with surprise, slowly emerged.


    "Purple Fire Pill?"


    Ahmad Kamal''s throat rolled as he stared incredulously at the prescription in Blaze Regret''s hand, feeling deeply shaken.


    The Purple Fire Pill is one of the most difficult first grade pills to refine. Its price rivals that of Earth Flame Pills and other such elixirs. The rarity isn''t due to its ingredients but rather its astonishing effects!


    Among first grade pills, each has different effects. Some can directly elevate the rank of spirit beasts, some can heal them, and some can enhance a spirit master''s spiritual power. The Purple Fire Pill, however, can elevate the rank of an novice level fire attribute spirit beast by an entire grade!


    "He actually showed the prescription to Blaze Regret directly?"


    Ahmad Kamal''s breathing became heavy. If it weren''t for Park Lily''s esteemed status as the exclusive alchemist for the Atlas Trading Company, he would have already taken drastic measures. Everyone knew how valuable a prescription was to an alchemist, and yet Park Lily dared to hand it over to Blaze Regret without reservation!

    "This pill is indeed quite troublesome," Blaze Regret said, massaging his forehead. He then looked at Park Lily, whose body had instantly tensed up, and chuckled lightly. "But it''s not overly difficult."


    "Utter nonsense!" Ahmad Kamal scoffed angrily. "You''re an outsider pretending to be an expert. Do you even understand what a Purple Fire Pill, which elevates the rank of spirit beasts, means? Even I wouldn''t claim to be able to refine it. Where do you get the confidence to say it isn''t difficult?"


    As he looked at the calm expression on Blaze Regret''s face, Kartis Kai suddenly felt a twinge of unease. Could this guy really be an alchemist? But a sixteen year old alchemist? How could that be possible!


    Just as Park Lily was about to reprimand Ahmad Kamal, Blaze Regret waved his hand and smiled faintly. "Ahmad Kamal, your intelligence is really lacking. If I didn''t have the ability to refine this pill, do you think Master Park Lily would personally come to ask me?"


    Park Lily''s eyes flashed with gratitude. Blaze Regret had used the word "ask" instead of "seek advice," respecting the pride and dignity that alchemists held dear.


    "Who knows what got into that old man''s head. Maybe his brain really got fried from all the alchemist," Ahmad Kamal muttered. Despite sensing something amiss, his attitude remained defiant. Even if Blaze Regret was an alchemist, Ahmad Kamal refused to believe he could successfully refine the Purple Fire Pill.


    "Stubborn as a mule," Blaze Regret shook his head and laughed softly. "Master Park Lily, please prepare two sets of materials for refining this pill. Second Elder, spread the word. This afternoon, I will open the cauldron and refine the pill in front of the Blaze family''s main gate."


    Upon hearing this, Park Lily''s eyes were filled with intense joy, while Blaze Peter felt a bit dizzy. When did this little guy in his eyes become an alchemist?


    "Two sets, indeed an amateur," Ahmad kamal laughed loudly.


    Even an alchemist who had successfully refined the Purple Fire Pill before wouldn''t dare to guarantee a high success rate on subsequent attempts. For a pill of this complexity, even five sets of materials might not yield a single pill, yet Blaze Regret planned to prepare only two sets?


    "Blaze Regret, aren''t you being a bit too hasty?" Park Lily asked cautiously.


    "Two sets are enough," Blaze Regret said, holding the prescription as he slowly walked out of the hall, completely ignoring the numerous eyes gathering behind him.


    "Blaze Ash, are you really going to spread the news?" Blaze Peter looked at Blaze Ash with a wry smile. If Blaze Regret failed, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to the Blaze family. But if he succeeded...


    How could he possibly succeed?


    Ahmad Kamal and Kartis Kai sat on their chairs, eyes slightly closed, full of disdain. This afternoon, they eagerly awaited Blaze Regret''s embarrassment.


    "Whoosh!"


    Blaze Ash stretched out his hand, and a suction force brought the notebook Blaze Regret had thrown earlier back into his grasp. He then tossed it to Blaze Peter. "Inform all the families on the list. Oh, and invite Mark from the Atlas Trading Company as well. He borrowed a hundred thousand gold coins from me last night in a personal capacity; let''s invite him too."


    "Got it!"


    After a moment of hesitation, Blaze Peter nodded firmly and turned to walk out of the hall, summoning several young clan members with a wave of his hand.


    That day, countless families in Veloria City received the news immediately: Blaze Ash''s son, Blaze Regret, was going to publicly refine a pill at the Blaze family''s gate!


    In an instant, the entire city was in an uproar.


    "Master Sun, what do you think about this matter?"


    After sending off the messenger from the Blaze family, Pan Kan, the head of the Pan family, slightly tilted his head and looked at a middle aged man sitting and drinking tea. He spoke in a deep voice.


    The middle aged man was Sun Mek, the current head of the Sun family. Although his family''s wealth wasn''t as great as the Blaze family''s, they were still quite well known in Veloria City.


    Gently placing down his teacup, Sun Mek couldn''t help but smile. "It''s just a desperate struggle. If Blaze Regret was really an alchemist, how could we not have heard about it? Just wait, we''ll see the truth this afternoon."


    "You''re right. Who knows what tricks Blaze Ash will come up with to buy time. Let''s see how the Blaze family embarrasses themselves this time." Pan Kan sneered, crumpling the paper in his hand into a ball.


    In Veloria City, the Pan family, the Sun family, and the Bun family cooperated most frequently with the Blaze family. After the Blaze family encountered troubles, the other two naturally chose to defect and align with the Snow family.


    "Master Bun, what is your decision?" Sun Mek looked at the only silent middle aged man in the room and smiled.


    Upon hearing this, Bun Pitar, the head of the Bun family, shook his head with a bitter smile. During his most difficult times, it was Blaze Ash who had helped him, so no matter what, he wouldn''t kick the Blaze family when they were down.

 Chapter 61 - 61 The Bet 1

    "Masters, I must take my leave."


    Standing up, Bun Pitar cupped his hands toward the two men before turning and walking out the door without looking back.


    "Fool."


    After a long while, Pan Kan slowly spat out a word, a cold smile appearing on his face. "After this matter is over, the Bun family''s assets will definitely be reduced by half. At that time, the ranks of third rate families will have another member."


    "A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Bun Pitar, you are foolish."


    Sun Mek shook his head while laughing, seemingly pitying the Bun family. He felt as if he could already see the Bun family''s decline.


    In front of a wide road stood a grand mansion, towering majestically. The large characters "Blaze Family" on the plaque proclaimed the mansion''s status.


    Although the family living in the mansion isn''t doing well at the moment, it doesn''t stop passersby from casting respectful glances. This is because a Spirit Lord level expert is guarding the mansion!


    At this time, a large crowd had gathered in front of the mansion''s usually quiet entrance, whispering among themselves.


    "I heard the Blaze family''s master''s son is an alchemist. Is that true?"


    "I don''t know, but if he''s daring enough to make pills in public, it should be true."


    "Heh, some people actually believe that? I think it''s just a stalling tactic. The Blaze family master is probably scrambling to raise funds right now. Otherwise, how could the Blaze family have lasted this long?"


    The crowd of spirit practitioners buzzed with excitement, some even getting into heated arguments and fighting, only to be unceremoniously thrown out by the Blaze family''s enforcement team.


    "Master Ahmad Kamal!"


    At this moment, an elderly man in an alchemist''s robe emerged from the Blaze family gate, causing a wave of exclamations.


    "Master Park Lily is here too!"


    To ordinary spirit practitioners, alchemists are revered figures, rarely seen. But today, two had appeared at once!


    Instantly, the murmurs turned into a clamor.


    "Grandfather, why hasn''t that brat Blaze Regret come out yet? Could he have run away?"


    Kartis Man, lying on his Thunder Beast, scanned the surroundings with a sinister gaze. He had gotten out of bed just to see Blaze Regret''s downfall. A mere member of a minor family daring to call himself an alchemist was utterly laughable!


    "Quiet, the Blaze family master is here."


    A commanding figure appeared, and the chatter in the crowd immediately dissipated.


    "Blaze Ash, where''s your son?" Kartis Kai asked, a faint smile playing on his lips as he looked at Blaze Ash standing at the entrance.


    "Why are you looking for me? Do you know me that well?"


    Just as Kartis Kai finished speaking, Blaze Regret emerged with a broad smile on his face. He glanced at Kartis Man, who was sitting on the Thunder Beast, and his smile grew even wider.


    "What are you smiling at? Let''s see if you can still smile once you''re exposed!" Kartis Man sneered.


    Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently and walked slowly to the center of the crowd. The surrounding spirit practitioners immediately retreated a few steps, leaving a spacious area in the middle.


    He raised his head slightly, his eyes sweeping slowly around the area. Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on a distant pavilion, where three exceptionally powerful auras were present.


    "It''s really lively. The identity of an alchemist is indeed terrifying. Just a hint of news has gathered half of the Spirit Lord experts in Veloria City," Blaze Regret thought to himself.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, here are the alchemist furnace and the herbs prepared for you."


    Seeing Blaze Regret appear, Park Lily quickly retrieved the items from his Void Realms stone and handed them to Blaze Regret.


    "Am I seeing this right? Master Park Lily is personally handing something to Blaze Regret!"


    This scene caused a spirit practitioner to exclaim in surprise, while the others had a glint in their eyes, realizing that today''s event was indeed extraordinary.


    "Getting more and more disgraceful."


    Ahmad Kamal, however, curled his lip disdainfully. For a dignified first grade alchemist to be so courteous to a junior was truly beneath him!


    "Master Ahmad Kamal, how about we make a bet?" Blaze Regret gently caressed the alchemist furnace given to him by Park Lily, smiling as he looked at Ahmad Kamal.


    "What are we betting on?" Ahmad Kamal frowned, suppressing his irritation, and asked.


    "I heard you have a recipe for the Qi Returning Pill. If I win, you''ll give that recipe to me. How about it?"


    "And if you lose?" Ahmad Kamal sneered.


    "I''ll give you the recipes for the Earth Flame Pill and the Wood Separation Pill," Blaze Regret said, lightly tapping his Void Realms stone. Two pill recipes appeared in his hand, which he waved gently.


    "Are you serious?" A glint of greed flashed in Ahmad Kamal''s eyes as he smirked sinisterly. "Then it''s a deal!"


    Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, his eyes lowering slightly as his expression grew more serious.


    Apart from the time he refined the Void Soul Pill, he had always relied on Master Mo''s simulated alchemy furnace, which consumed very little spiritual and mental energy. This time, however, he would have to rely on his own strength to refine one of the most difficult first grade pills.


    "Let''s do this!"


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret lightly tapped the alchemy furnace. A crimson flame slowly spread at the bottom of the furnace, and the surrounding spirit practitioners all had a look of surprise in their eyes.


    This Blaze Regret actually knows how to refine pills?


    "Pill fire, how is that possible?" S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Kartis Man''s throat felt choked, but his gaze at Blaze Regret was filled with intense jealousy and resentment. Even if Blaze Regret was truly an alchemist, Kartis Man refused to believe he could successfully refine the Purple Fire Pill!


    "This temperature..."


    Beside him, Ahmad Kamal''s face was also unusually stiff. He couldn''t believe that a sixteen year old boy was actually an alchemist!


    As an alchemist himself, Ahmad Kamal naturally understood how difficult this field was. Otherwise, there wouldn''t be just a handful of alchemists in the entire Veloria City!


    "Interesting."


    On the pavilion, Met Intan and Sky Rodzi both nodded, their eyes gleaming with interest. Meanwhile, Snow Fazlin''s face was extremely gloomy, and the teacup in his hand had already cracked, with water dripping to the ground unnoticed.

 Chapter 62 - 62 The Bet 2

    The temperature of the alchemist furnace continued to rise. In Blaze Regret''s world at this moment, it seemed as if only this furnace existed, with even the faint breathing sounds around him completely blocked out.


    The Purple Fire Pill requires ingredients like Amber Leaf, Wind Tail Grass, and Fire Crow Blood. In addition, it also needs a fire attribute spiritual core of the Imperial level.


    "Ding!"


    The fire attribute spiritual core entered the furnace, making a crisp sound. However, as soon as Blaze Regret poured in a blue liquid, it began to melt.


    This blue liquid is extracted from the stomach fluid of the Blue Lizard and is essential for dissolving the spiritual core. Without it, who knows how much effort it would take to melt the core.


    With his eyes slightly narrowed, Blaze Regret extended his palm. A bright red alchemist flame quietly rose, leaping up like a cheerful sprite.


    "Go!"


    With a light wave of his hand, the flame traced a beautiful arc and fell into the furnace, quickly merging with the liquid spiritual core, seemingly wrapping around it.


    "Something''s wrong."


    Just as he was about to add the Amber Leaf, Blaze Regret suddenly shook his head. Amber Leaf is a pure wood type medicinal herb, and if added at this moment, it would surely be burned to ashes.


    After acquiring the Medicine Emperor''s Seed, the Medicine Emperor''s alchemist experience was clearly presented in his mind.


    Seeing Blaze Regret retract his hand, Park Lily couldn''t help but nod secretly. He had failed countless times at this step, and it seemed today''s decision to seek out Blaze Regret was absolutely correct.


    Unlike Park Lily, Ahmad Kamal''s eyes were venomous, and in his heart, he kept praying for Blaze Regret''s failure.


    "I know the purpose of Fire Crow Blood, but what about Wind Tail Grass?"


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Then, to Park Lily''s astonishment, he directly threw the Wind Tail Grass into the furnace.


    "No..."


    Park Lily was just about to speak when he saw, to his disbelief, that the Wind Tail Grass, after being burned, transformed into a whirlwind. This whirlwind, swirling with flames and red liquid, quickly dissipated much of the violent fire attribute energy.


    "As expected, the purpose of the Wind Tail Grass is to reduce the fire attribute energy. Otherwise, the main ingredient, Amber Leaf, could not be added at all."


    Mumbling softly, Blaze Regret added another stalk of Wind Tail Grass. The fire attribute energy in the furnace finally became gentle. If someone were to touch it, they would find it as comfortable as warm water.


    "It''s time to adjust the temperature," Park Lily and Ahmad Kamal both thought as they watched the furnace.


    As Blaze Regret adjusted the temperature, time quietly passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had gone by.


    This is the most tedious part of alchemist the process is monotonous and time consuming, making it unbearable for those without strong determination.


    "It''s time for the final step."


    Blaze Regret was extremely tense. He added the Amber Leaf and Fire Crow Blood simultaneously, and they both melted into liquid, forming a Taiji like pattern that continuously rotated around the flame wrapped spiritual core.


    "Fail, fail!"


    Ahmad Kamal swallowed hard, his hand tightly clenched. Beside him, Kartis Kai and Kartis Man were also cursing inwardly.


    "Hopefully, the furnace will explode and kill him directly!"


    Kartis Kai clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with a sinister light. When he saw the liquid in the furnace gradually stabilizing, he made a ruthless decision and slapped the Demon Thunder Colt hard.


    "Neigh!"


    In pain, the Demon Thunder Colt let out a loud cry, its voice sweeping across the surroundings like a tidal wave, causing all the spiritual beasts in the area to crouch down, trembling.


    "Not good!"


    Blaze Ash and Park Lily''s expressions changed drastically, especially Blaze Ash, who quickly released the Fire Spirit Crane. The crane''s wings spread like fans, emitting a fiery red spiritual light, attempting to block the sound waves.


    However, even though the Fire Spirit Crane blocked most of the sound waves, Blaze Regret, who was in the middle of a critical step, was still disturbed.


    "Ugh!"


    A flush of red surged to Blaze Regret''s face. He felt a sweetness in his throat and couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell into the furnace, mixing with the liquid inside.


    At the moment his hand shook, cracks rapidly appeared on the furnace, soon covering its entire surface.


    "Crack!"


    As if it could no longer withstand the pressure, the furnace suddenly split open and exploded with a loud bang. Sharp fragments, like blades, penetrated Blaze Regret''s body without any resistance, staining his robe with streaks of blood.


    Under normal circumstances, the Yang Flame Shield could easily block these fragments, but Blaze Regret''s full attention was on the nearly solidified elixir, leaving no room to protect himself.

    "Kartis Man, you''re courting death!"


    Blaze Peter''s eyes were filled with rage, and Blaze Ash''s face was covered with a cold expression. If not for the fear that acting now would put Blaze Regret in an even more vulnerable position, they would have already taken action to eliminate Kartis Man!


    "Heh, if you can''t even withstand this little bit of interference, what kind of alchemist are you trying to be?"


    Kartis Man sneered arrogantly. He was confident that no one would dare take action against him, which is why he acted so recklessly. He only felt a bit disappointed that the explosion of the furnace hadn''t backfired enough to kill Blaze Regret.


    "I don''t care who you are. If you dare to do this again, I swear in the name of Angsana Pavilion, we will fight to the death!"


    Park Lily was also extremely furious. He looked at Kartis Man with a cold and menacing gaze.


    Kartis Man was about to retort, but seeing the warning look in Kartis Kai''s eyes, he could only sheepishly close his mouth. Although a first grade alchemist wouldn''t be a significant threat to the Kartis family, the Angsana Pavilion behind him was something even the Kartis family had to consider carefully.

 Chapter 63 - 63 The Bet 3

    "Cough, cough!"


    With a light cough, a trace of blood uncontrollably seeped from the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth. He pressed his lips tightly together. In his palm, a perfectly round elixir was spinning quickly, solidifying as the flames dissipated.


    "Solidify for me!"


    Blaze Regret changed his hand sign, and the round elixir finally stopped spinning. A rich medicinal fragrance, mixed with a faint fiery scent, filled the surroundings.


    "Whoosh!"


    The elixir shot up into the air, and Blaze Regret caught it with one hand. He let out a relieved sigh, then turned to Park Lily, opened his palm, and smiled, "Task accomplished."


    "How is that possible!"


    Ahmad Kamal stared intently at the Purple Fire Pill in Blaze Regret''s hand, filled with disbelief. Even he couldn''t refine such a pill, yet Blaze Regret managed to succeed despite being interfered with!


    What was even more astonishing was that Blaze Regret was only a sixteen year old boy!


    This blow was enough to potentially crush his spirit.


    "It''s really a Purple Fire Pill!"


    Park Lily took the pill, sniffed it lightly, and gratefully clasped his hands in salute to Blaze Regret. "Young friend Blaze Regret, thank you so much. Watching you today has been immensely beneficial to me. In the future, if you ever need anything, even if it costs me my old bones, I will make sure it gets done!"


    "I gained the recipe for the Purple Fire Pill, so it was worth it," Blaze Regret said with a smile. However, as he smiled, a trickle of bright red blood uncontrollably flowed from the corner of his mouth.


    "He actually succeeded!"


    The numerous onlookers were all in shock as they watched Blaze Regret. Their gazes towards Blaze Ash were now filled with envy and awe. This was a genuine alchemist, and his alchemy skills were no less than those of Park Lily!


    It was foreseeable that the Blaze family would flourish greatly in the future!


    "Master Ahmad Kamal, isn''t it time to fulfill our agreement?" Blaze Regret slightly turned around and looked at the dazed Ahmad Kamal, smiling while unceremoniously extending his hand in front of the latter.


    The sudden shadow in front of him made the despondent Ahmad Kamal shiver. He raised his head, repeatedly muttering, "Impossible, impossible, you''re just a spiritual novice, how could you possibly refine the Purple Fire Pill..."


    That day, when he first saw Blaze Regret, he felt disdain for the latter''s words, not even bothering to lift his head. But in the blink of an eye, the existence he had thought of as an ant had already brushed past him and even quietly surpassed him.


    "I''ve told you before, the tea of the Blaze family is not something you can spit out. Hand over the recipe for the Qi Recovery Pill, and you can leave." Blaze Regret''s voice remained incomparably calm, but anyone could hear the coldness within it.


    "Hehe, Blaze Ash, you have truly raised a good son."


    With a bitter smile, Ahmad Kamal took out the recipe for the Qi Recovery Pill from his robe and placed it in Blaze Regret''s hand. With a face like ash, he slowly walked towards the distant road, ignoring Kartis Man''s calls.


    "Without a firm mind, no wonder he could only remain a first grade alchemist for life."


    Placing the Qi Recovery Pill recipe into the Void Realms stone, Blaze Regret shook his head internally. Compared to Park Lily, Ahmad Kamal was far inferior. When Park Lily faced setbacks, his first thought was to remedy them, which was why he was now about to break through to a second grade alchemist. Ahmad Kamal, on the other hand, chose to give up on himself.


    Sweeping a glance at the already vanished figure on the distant pavilion, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned cold. He looked at Kartis Man, approaching step by step: "Your character is really despicable!"


    When an alchemist is refining pills, the greatest taboo is being disturbed. At best, the pills are ruined; at worst, the alchemist dies on the spot! And Kartis Man obviously had the intention of killing him, which is why he forcefully struck the Thunder Beast!


    "Don''t come any closer, if you dare take another step, I''ll have the Thunder Beast kill you!"


    As Blaze Regret approached step by step, fear involuntarily appeared in Kartis Man''s eyes, but his words were still filled with threats.


    "Kneel before me!"


    Blaze Ash shouted coldly, and the Fire Spirit Crane''s wings suddenly spread wide. Its pitch black eyes stared sharply at the Thunder Beast, and a terrifying pressure made the Thunder Beast immediately crouch down, trembling like a small animal.


    Though the Thunder Beast was indeed a lord level spirit beast, its power was vastly inferior to that of the Fire Spirit Crane. The difference between the two was like that between a ninth grade Scorching Flame Cat and a fourth grade Thunder Mouse!


    "Since you still have a hand that can move, I might as well cripple it today."


    With a swift movement, Blaze Regret appeared in front of Kartis Man. His right hand rose, and his fingers, glowing with a fiery red light, thrust forward like a spear.


    "How dare you!"


    Kartis Kai shouted angrily and was about to command the Thunder Beast to attack Blaze Regret when he suddenly felt a cold, gleaming blade pressed against his neck! sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Turning his head with great difficulty, Kartis Kai was shocked to find that behind him was a lord level Steel Armored Rat!


    The Steel Armored Rat stood upright like a human, its skin resembling black steel armor, indestructible. Its claws were about a foot long, as sharp as blades.


    "I''d advise you not to move while young friend Blaze Regret is handling his business," Park Lily said with a smile.


    His own strength was only that of an eighth grade spirit warrior, but by chance, he had once saved an injured Steel Armored Rat. Since then, the Steel Armored Rat had stayed by his side.


    Of course, his spirit Portal couldn''t withstand the Steel Armored Rat''s spirit power for long. Generally, the Steel Armored Rat would remain hidden underground, only emerging at critical moments to lend a hand.

 Chapter 64 - 64 The Bet 4

    "Slash!"


    In Kartis Kai''s resentful gaze, Blaze Regret''s Sun Fire fingers pierced through Kartis Man''s wrist, and immediately, a piercing scream echoed throughout the scene.


    "First time using it, and the power is not bad," Blaze Regret said calmly, gently retracting his fingers.


    "Swish!"


    At the same time, the Steel Armored Rat instantly returned to Park Lily''s side, its expression calm. Standing upright, it was even taller than Park Lily.


    "Hehe, Master Blaze, I apologize for the disturbance today. I, Bot, will take my leave now."


    Amid the crowd, someone chuckled awkwardly and cupped his hands in a polite gesture before turning to leave.


    He had some cooperation with the Blaze family and had rushed over upon hearing rumors of their impending bankruptcy. But to his surprise, the young master of the Blaze family was actually an alchemist!


    With an alchemist backing them, bankruptcy? Who would believe that!


    "Don''t be in such a hurry to leave."


    Blaze Ash suddenly laughed. His gentle laughter made the man named Bot feel as if he was under a spell, freezing him in place, unable to move.


    "Here is the cooperation agreement we signed a few days ago, along with the deposit," Blaze Peter said with a smile, walking up to the man and handing over the items.


    Instantly, the man named Bot began to sweat profusely.


    "Inform the merchants who are still in the market that there will be no rent for the next three years. Oh, and as for the Ban family, they will receive a 20% share of the business outside the city."


    Turning around and walking back inside, Blaze Ash spoke slowly and methodically.


    "Three years of free rent!"


    Many people were struck as if by lightning, unable to believe it. The rent for three years was an unimaginably huge sum!


    But more people showed expressions of joy. These were the ones who had stayed in the market. At this moment, they suddenly realized how wise their decision had been.


    Of course, there were also quite a few people whose faces looked ashen, as if the prize they had been so close to grasping had suddenly slipped away.


    "Hehe, I bet Blaze Ash''s face must be darker than the bottom of a pot right now."


    In the Pan family residence, Pan kan gently stroked a white feathered cat lying on his lap, a playful smile on his face.


    "Compared to Blaze Ash, I''m more interested in Ban Pitar right now."


    Sun Mek shook his head with a smile, his face full of satisfaction. He was on a different level compared to Blaze Ash, so he didn''t feel much about Blaze''s situation. It was Ban Pitar, who was on the same level as him, that caught his attention.


    "That old guy will die from his stubbornness sooner or later."


    Pan Kan sneered, his face full of pride, as if falling out with the Blaze family from the start had been the right decision all along.


    "What? That''s impossible!"


    Suddenly, a voice full of shock and doubt came from outside the door.


    "Pan Dek, why are you shouting? What''s the big deal?"


    Although he said this, Pan Kan was secretly delighted, guessing that Pan Dek had probably learned that the Blaze family''s delay tactics had failed and they had gone bankrupt.


    "Master, bad news!" Pan Dek ran in, his face as dark as liver.


    "What happened?" Sun Mek looked at Pan Dek with a smile.


    Pan Dek struggled to catch his breath and said with difficulty, "That Blaze Regret turned out to be an alchemist and even managed to refine the Purple Fire Pill!"


    "What?" Pan Kan shuddered, gripping the white feathered cat on his lap so tightly that it cried out in pain.


    "Are you sure?" Sun Mek also stood up abruptly, glaring at Pan Dek with a fierce look.


    "Absolutely sure. The news is spreading all over the city, and Blaze Ash has even given the Ban family a 20% share of the business," Pan Dek said bitterly.


    "It''s over, it''s all over..."


    Pan Kan and Sun Mek both collapsed into their chairs, their faces blank and dazed, as if struck by lightning. A sense of despair washed over them.


    They could already imagine the terrifying revenge that the Blaze family would unleash in the future!


    In a quiet room, two wooden tubs, one large and one small, were placed on the floor. Blaze Regret and Red were soaking in each of the tubs, their arms lazily draped over the edges, their eyes half closed, looking extremely comfortable.


    "Ugh~"


    Red lifted its eyelids slightly, glanced at Blaze Regret, twitched its little ears, and then continued to feign sleep.


    "Phew, this spirit liquid is indeed quite effective."


    Blaze Regret looked down to check the injury on his chest and let out a long breath, but then he smiled bitterly.


    As expected, without the help of the simulated alchemist cauldron, the mental energy required to refine a single pill was enormous. He had been soaking in the tub for three whole days just to barely recover.


    Thankfully, Park Lily knew how to handle things well. He stayed up all night to refine dozens of bottles of spirit liquid and sent them over. This allowed Blaze Regret''s body, which had been severely injured by the broken cauldron, to begin recovering at an impressive speed.


    "Probably in another day, your Scorching Flame Cat will be able to break through to the eighth tier."


    Master Magi suddenly floated into the air, flipping through some yellowed ancient texts without looking up.


    Nodding, Blaze Regret shifted his body and, feeling a bit more comfortable, drifted off to sleep.


    Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the window, casting dappled shadows of leaves on the floor, making the whole room feel incredibly cozy.


    "Young Master Blaze, the Master of the Blaze family requests your presence in the main hall."


    As soon as Blaze Regret opened his eyes, an unfamiliar, crisp voice suddenly called out.


    Raising an eyebrow in curiosity, Blaze Regret opened the door to find a young girl in a green dress standing respectfully in front of it.


    "Who are you?" Blaze Regret asked hesitantly.


    "I am a maid from the Atlas Shop, sent by Mr. Mark," the young girl replied, keeping her head lowered, not daring to meet Blaze Regret''s gaze. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 65 - 65 Angsana Auction House 1

    Blaze Regret then learned that the Blaze family had established a partnership with Atlas Shop. Not only were their businesses interconnected, but even their staff had started to mingle.


    "It seems a lot has happened these past few days," Blaze Regret mused.


    He smiled and nodded at the maid before heading towards the reception hall, with Red running alongside him.


    "Such a young alchemist¡­"


    Watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, the green clad maid''s cheeks flushed with a hint of red. She then quickly followed him, startled by her own reaction.


    "Ha ha, thanks to Blaze Regret, my Atlas Shop''s only alchemist has been poached by the Blaze family."


    As soon as he reached the main gate, a hearty laugh echoed around him.


    Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled, knowing instantly that the voice belonged to none other than Mark.


    "Father, Manager Mark!"


    Quickly stepping into the hall, Blaze Regret bowed respectfully to the two seated men. He then glanced at Park Lily and exclaimed in surprise, "A second grade alchemist?"


    "Ha ha, I have you to thank for that," Park Lily said with a smile and a nod.


    Ever since becoming a second grade alchemist, he had received benefits beyond the wildest dreams of a first grade alchemist. The Angsana Pavillion behind him not only provided him with three second grade pill recipes but also a large quantity of precious medicinal herbs.


    Interestingly, neither Blaze Ash nor Park Lily inquired about the sudden emergence of Blaze Regret as an alchemist. It seemed they both tacitly agreed not to pry into his affairs.


    Everyone has their own secrets, even they do. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Manager Mark, you must be here for the Angsana Pavilion Festival, right?" Blaze Regret said with a smile as he sat down beside Blaze Ash, following his cue.


    "Indeed," Mark''s expression suddenly turned serious. "But that''s not the only reason."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret looked at Blaze Ash in surprise.


    "We just received news that Angsana Auction House will be auctioning a batch of items in three days, one of which might be related to the Angsana Pavilion Festival," Blaze Ash said in a deep voice.


    Angsana Auction House is a collective name for all the auction houses under Angsana Pavillion. Every city has a Angsana Auction House, where rare and hard to find items are put up for auction. These can range from precious spiritual herbs to rare spiritual beasts and all sorts of peculiar things.


    "Have the participants been decided?" Blaze Regret nodded and then turned his dark eyes towards Mark.


    "Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul from the Lu family, and the last one is you," Mark replied.


    "Three people, huh?" Blaze Regret pondered for a moment before slowly nodding.


    There are three factions participating in the Angsana Pavilion Festival, meaning nine people will take part in this event.


    "But Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul from the Sky family are both ninth tier spiritual novice," Blaze Regret said, tapping his head and sighing lightly.


    "You managed to defeat Kartis Man, a ninth tier spiritual novice, when you were only a seventh tier spiritual novice. Now that you''ve advanced to the eighth tier, I believe Atlas Shop''s chances of winning this time are quite high," Mark said with a smile.


    "I''m just afraid that someone won''t play by the rules," Blaze Ash said grimly.


    Hearing this, Mark nodded in agreement. If the other two shops brought in outsiders, the advantage held by Atlas Shop could be instantly shattered.


    "Forget it, we''ll take it one step at a time. For now, let''s focus on securing the items from Angsana Auction House," a glint of determination flashed in Blaze Ash''s eyes.


    After Mark took his leave, the Blaze family immediately became busy again.


    "Luckily, we have the support of Park Lily and Mark. Otherwise, the Blaze family, having just suffered a huge setback, would only be able to watch helplessly at the auction," Blaze Ash remarked as he and Blaze Regret stood in front of Angsana Auction House a few hours later.


    In Veloria City, when it comes to wealth, no family can compare to Angsana Auction House. Even the three major shops fall short by a significant margin. This place is the foundation of Angsana Pavillion in the city!


    As soon as Blaze Ash and his group appeared, a maid quickly came to greet them. These maids were well acquainted with the city''s famous figures.


    Led by the maid, the Blaze family members took one of the front seats.


    "Well, well, isn''t this Blaze Ash? I didn''t expect your family to still be around," a harsh voice suddenly came from the right just as they sat down.


    Blaze Regret frowned and looked over, seeing a middle aged man tilting his head and cleaning his ear with a playful smile on his face.


    This person was none other than Snow Fazlin, the head of the Snow family!


    "Whether we exist or not, what does it have to do with you?" Blaze Peter sneered. "With two alchemists in the Blaze family, I wonder how many more years your Snow family can stay smug."


    A slight tremor ran through his palm, and Snow Fazlin''s face turned grim instantly. His slightly lowered eyes brimmed with murderous intent.


    Ever since he learned that Blaze Regret was an alchemist, he hadn''t had a good night''s sleep.


    "Perhaps it won''t be long before the Blaze family''s two alchemists become just one," said the young man in white beside Snow Fazlin, staring at Blaze Regret with a smile that was far from comforting.


    "That man is Snow Amar, Snow Feng''s older brother," Blaze Peter began introducing the key figures to Blaze Regret. "Over there is Met Intan, the head of the Met family, and beside him are the three Met brothers. Each one is said to be a ninth level spiritual novice."


    Blaze Regret nodded, recognizing some of the younger generation in Veloria City.


    "Sitting at the northernmost area is Sky Rodzi from the Sky family. The girl talking to him is Sky Diana. Her beauty is far more renowned than her strength," Blaze Peter chuckled.


    "Such conduct unbecoming of his age!" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes.


    "The auction is about to start," Blaze Ash, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. Instantly, the surrounding chatter grew louder in anticipation.

 Chapter 66 - 66 Angsana Auction House 2

    "Welcome everyone to the Angsana Auction House. Today''s auction will be hosted by me, Alif Azlin."


    With a crisp voice, a woman clad in a fiery red cheongsam gracefully stepped onto the jade platform at the front, casting a charming smile at the audience below.


    The moment Alif Azlin appeared, she instantly attracted numerous gazes filled with warmth and admiration.


    Alif Azlin, the chief auctioneer of the Angsana Auction House, was as renowned in Veloria City as people like Blaze Ash. However, her fame was more associated with her allure, with many willing to spend a fortune just to catch a fleeting glimpse of her charm.


    Once Alif Azlin stood in the center of the jade platform, a crack suddenly appeared on the jade floor in front of her. The crack widened, and a glass counter slowly rose from below.


    Within the glass counter was a crystal clear sphere, containing a small green figure darting about like a lizard, except its eyes were blue.


    "Let''s start the auction with the first item, the Blue eyed Lizard!"


    Alif Azlin announced with a smile, "This Blue eyed Lizard was recently discovered by the Blue Blade Hunting Group in the Spirit Beast Forest. Its natural rank is mid level warrior, and it has now advanced to high level. The starting bid is forty thousand gold coins!"


    Alif Azlin''s explanation unsurprisingly caused a stir. The Blue eyed Lizard was somewhat famous among poison type spirit beasts but was extremely rare. As soon as it appeared, many faces showed expressions of surprise.


    "A poison type spirit beast?" Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed.


    Poison type spirit beasts generally only interested poison type spirit masters. Although there were no restrictions on spirit contracts, having diverse spirit beast attributes within one''s spirit portal could lead to chaotic spirit energy, significantly impacting the spirit master''s power.


    Therefore, no spirit master would willingly engage in such a thankless task.


    Moreover, poison type spirit masters were quite rare.


    As expected, after the initial commotion, only two people competed for the price, and the Blue eyed Lizard was eventually sold for forty three thousand gold coins.


    "The Angsana Auction House is showing off its strength," someone remarked.


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly. To start with a spirit beast naturally at mid level Warrior rank indeed showcased the strength of Veloria City''s largest auction house.


    After the Blue eyed Lizard set the stage, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly lively, with items being auctioned off rapidly.


    "There are many items, but none are useful to me."


    Yawning out of boredom, Blaze Regret patted the head of the Red in his arms and closed his eyes to rest.


    "Now, we will auction the thirteenth item, a mid level warrior rank spirit crystal, Moye Light, starting at thirty thousand gold coins!"


    As Alif Azlin''s enchanting voice fell, the room erupted with excitement, and whispers of anticipation echoed throughout the crowd.


    "A mid level warrior rank spirit crystal?"


    Blaze Regret was momentarily taken aback, then slightly annoyed. If it were a fire attribute spirit crystal, he would bid on it no matter the cost, but Moye Light was clearly a wood attribute spirit crystal.


    "Not good!" He suddenly realized.


    As expected, Snow Amar beside Snow Fazlin initially froze, then his eyes lit up with joy. "Thirty one thousand!"


    With Snow Amar''s bid, several others who had intended to bid immediately backed down, their faces full of reluctance.


    If it weren''t for Snow Fazlin, they might have competed, but their power was far inferior to the Snow family.


    Seeing this, Alif Azlin''s delicate brows furrowed slightly, though imperceptibly.


    The higher the auction prices, the more commission she would receive, so she naturally disliked such situations.


    "Thirty one thousand going once!"


    "Thirty one thousand going twice!"


    "Thirty five thousand!"


    Just as Alif Azlin was inwardly smiling bitterly, Blaze Regret, who had been pretending to nap, suddenly smiled and called out a price.


    "Are you crazy? You''re not even a wood attribute spiritualist. Competing with me, what''s the point?" Alif Azlin''s face changed dramatically, and he angrily shouted at Blaze Regret.


    "I just feel like it. Got a problem?" Blaze Regret tilted his head, his expression playful.


    "Forty thousand!" Snow Amar turned his head and shouted harshly.


    "Forty five thousand."


    "Fifty thousand!"


    "Fifty five thousand."


    "Sixty thousand!"


    "Deal." Blaze Regret smiled, waving his hand generously.


    "You''re dead!" Snow Amar suddenly stood up, his face twisted with rage, and a violent killing intent enveloped Blaze Regret.


    "Sir, please sit down."


    On the jade platform, Alif Azlin knocked the auction hammer displeasedly, her charming voice mixed with a trace of coldness: "If you disrupt the order again, we will have to ask you to leave."


    "Just you wait. You better hope I don''t see you at the Angsana Pavilion Festival!"


    After leaving a vicious threat, Snow Amar sat down furiously.


    "Now for the next auction item."


    Alif Azlin smiled, easing the previously tense atmosphere: "This item was obtained by a spiritualist during their travels. For many fire attribute spiritualists, it is a rare treasure."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up, showing interest for the first time in his dark pupils.


    As Alif Azlin raised her jade like hand, a transparent crystal appeared before everyone''s eyes. The crystal resembled a diamond, with what seemed like a small flame burning inside it.


    "Flame Spirit Blood Diamond?"


    In Blaze Regret''s mind, the astonished voice of Master Magi echoed: "This auction house is quite impressive to have something so rare."


    "You recognize this?" Blaze Regret whispered so only he could hear.


    "Of course, don''t underestimate me!" Master Magi replied irritably, "I''ll explain later. First, figure out how to win this item."


    On the jade platform, Alif Azlin smiled charmingly: "This item can negate the side effects of any pill and instantly elevate a fire attribute spirit beast of the novice level by one rank. The starting bid is fifteen thousand gold coins!"


    "This..."


    Blaze Regret, who had been excited a moment ago, suddenly felt like he had been doused with cold water. The effect of this Flame Spirit Blood Diamond was similar to the Earth Flame Pill!


    After Scorching Flame Cat broke through to the eighth rank, he had given it the Earth Flame Pill. A few days later, it would completely absorb the medicinal effect and rise to the ninth rank.

 Chapter 67 - 67 Angsana Auction House 3

    But by then, the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond would be useless!


    "Don''t overthink it, just bid as I tell you!" Sensing ;Blaze Regret''s hesitation, Master Magi''s irritable voice rang in his mind again.


    "Twenty thousand!" Gritting his teeth, Blaze Regret called out his bid.


    Seeing this, Snow Amar instantly felt a surge of joy, a sense of satisfaction at the impending revenge flashing in his eyes.


    "If you dare raise the bid, I''ll let you have it. Believe it or not?"


    Just as Snow Amar was about to cause trouble, Blaze Regret let out a low roar. This display made Snow Amar swallow his words. He didn''t doubt for a second that Blaze Regret would do something like that. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Twenty thousand, going once!"


    "Twenty thousand, going twice!"


    "Twenty thousand, going three times!"


    "SOLD!"


    On the jade platform, Alif Azlin was also pleased as she brought down the auction gavel. Although the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond was rare, many pills could achieve the same effect. Twenty thousand gold coins had already exceeded the price of many Grade One pills.


    "Everyone, now let us auction the final item of this auction."


    Alif Azlin''s enchanting voice resonated through the auction hall, which instantly fell silent. The members of the four great families, in particular, sat upright and stared intently at the stage.


    The main event was about to begin!


    Alif Azlin gently waved her slender hand, causing the glass counter in front of her to quietly sink down. A new glass counter then rose up again.


    When everyone saw the items on the counter, they couldn''t help but have strange expressions on their faces. However, no one dared to speak up and break the carefully cultivated atmosphere.


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly as he looked ahead. On the glass counter, there was a jade plate, and on the plate lay a damaged piece of paper.


    "What kind of treasure is this? It''s just a worn out map!" Snow Amar sneered disdainfully.


    Feeling the awkward atmosphere in the room, Alif Azlin also smiled bitterly in her heart. When she learned that the final item was a torn piece of paper, her expression was no better than anyone else''s.


    "Ahem!"


    After a light cough, a professional smile appeared on Alif Azlin''s pretty face. "Ladies and gentlemen, this map was accidentally obtained by a spirit hunter. We don''t know exactly what it records, but we can be sure that the locations marked on it are not simple."


    "Anyone can make empty promises. If we end up losing money, who do we go to?"


    A spirit master in the crowd couldn''t help but speak up, and immediately, a series of agreeing voices echoed.


    "You''re overthinking it." Alif Azlin gently picked up the paper, covering a crucial part with her jade like hand, and said with a smile, "Some of you should recognize the mark at the bottom left corner of this map."


    In the bottom left corner of the map, there was an engraving of a crystal clear ice lotus.


    "Ice Lotus Mark?"


    Seeing this mark, a few incredulous exclamations instantly echoed through the auction house.


    "What is the Ice Lotus Mark?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled, frowning slightly.


    Seemingly recalling something, Blaze Ash remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The Ice Lotus Mark is the symbol of one of the four great experts of the Blizzard Moon Empire, the Ice Lotus Sage."


    "The Ice Lotus Sage?" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted, finally understanding why so many people lost their composure upon seeing this mark.


    Legend has it that the Ice Lotus Sage was extremely cold and indifferent, treating human lives like grass. Once, someone offended his disciple, and as a result, the city where that person lived turned into an ice city overnight! All living beings within the city were frozen!


    "Thankfully, that guy has long since perished," Blaze Regret sighed with relief. Such beings were truly terrifying.


    "So this is an item of the Ice Lotus Sage. I bid forty thousand gold coins!"


    However, as soon as someone placed a bid, Alif Azlin shook her head with a bitter smile. "I forgot to tell you, the location marked on this map is within the Black Forest."


    As soon as the words "Black Forest" fell, the entire auction house fell silent, and the gazes directed at Alif Azlin became extremely strange.


    "Black Forest, isn''t that the site of the Angsana Pavilion Festival?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh wryly.


    According to legend, the Black Forest is the place where a powerful spirit beast perished, and it is surrounded by a barrier. Practitioners above the level of spirit novice cannot set foot inside.


    "You should have said so earlier; we got excited for nothing." Instantly, more than half of the people lost interest.


    "The map left by the Ice Lotus Sage..."


    Snow Fazlin murmured softly, a gleam flashing in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I bid fifty thousand gold coins."


    "Sixty thousand!" Met Intan immediately followed.


    "Seventy thousand!" Sky Rodzi also placed a bid.


    "Eighty thousand!" Blaze Ash glanced at Blaze Regret and said calmly.


    "One hundred thousand!" With a determined heart, Snow Fazlin said coldly.


    One hundred thousand gold coins would be a significant burden even for the four major families.


    Considering the Blaze family from a few days ago, although each family''s assets exceed a million gold coins, their liquid funds are limited. One hundred thousand gold coins would be enough to strain a family significantly.


    "Father, how many gold coins do you have on hand?" Blaze Regret looked at Blaze Ash.


    "One hundred and fifty thousand."


    Blaze Ash frowned slightly. This was despite Mark and Park Lily''s support by pooling their resources. After all, even an alchemist like Park Lily couldn''t endlessly produce elixirs. Blaze Regret himself needed several days of rest after refining the Purple Flame Pill, so Park Lily was no exception.


    Moreover, to improve alchemist skills, one must consume a vast amount of medicinal herbs and even spiritual medicines, which is an incredibly costly endeavor.


    "One hundred and thirty thousand!"


    Sky Rodzi spoke again. If anyone else raised the bid, he planned to withdraw. After all, he couldn''t justify spending so many gold coins on a map whose contents were unknown.

 Chapter 68 - 68 Angsana Auction House 4

    Even with the map, obtaining the Ice Lotus Sage''s treasures wouldn''t be easy.


    Seeing this, Met Intan shook his head and chose to withdraw immediately. Among the four major families, the Met family''s foundation was the weakest.


    "One hundred and fifty thousand!"


    Snow Fazlin provocatively looked at Blaze Ash. He didn''t believe for a moment that the Blaze family could recover so quickly after the recent events.


    Blaze Regret''s face showed a mix of emotions. After struggling internally for a moment, he pulled out an Void Realm Stone and handed a gold coin card to Blaze Ash. "This gold coin card contains about thirty thousand gold coins that I''ve saved up over these days."


    This gold coin card was what Blaze Regret had obtained from defeating Blue Ken. As for his own, it had long been emptied.


    Taking the gold coin card, a strange light flashed in Blaze Ash''s eyes. He then discreetly placed the card under his robe and rubbed off the character "Blue" in the lower left corner with his thumb.


    "One hundred and eighty thousand," Blaze Ash said calmly.


    "Where did you get so many gold coins?" Snow Fazlin looked at Blaze Ash incredulously. Even the intact Snow family could only muster one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins at once. How could the disrupted Blaze family still have such a foundation?


    "One hundred and eighty thousand, going once!"


    Cold sweat began to drip from Snow Fazlin''s forehead.


    "One hundred and eighty thousand, going twice!"


    His face looked even more troubled.


    "Hehe, Master Snow, it seems you need some help," someone teased.


    At this moment, a cheerful voice echoed. Snow Fazlin looked up to see a purple gold coin card appear before him.


    A purple gold coin card signifies a value of one hundred thousand gold coins!


    "Kartis kai?"


    Seeing the figure suddenly appear beside Snow Fazlin, a surge of anger began to rise in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "Ninety thousand!"


    Snow Fazlin gratefully nodded to Kartis Kai and then shouted excitedly.


    "Old man, do you plan on not surviving the night?" Blaze Ash''s eyes narrowed slightly, finally revealing a cold killing intent.


    "Master Snow, as you can see, I can''t return to the Blaze family. I wonder if the Snow family could offer me a place to stay?" Kartis kai asked with a smile.


    "Of course, I''ll prepare the best room for you!" Snow Fazlin naturally recognized that Kartis Kai was also a powerful spiritual master, so he spoke with utmost respect.


    "Ninety thousand, going once!"


    "Ninety thousand, going twice!"


    "Blaze Ash, give me that necklace, and this map will still be yours."


    At that moment, Kartis Kai''s voice echoed in Blaze Ash''s mind.


    Blaze Ash''s lips parted as he was about to say something when suddenly, a gold coin card, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, landed in Blaze Ash''s hand.


    Turning his head, Blaze Regret was stunned to see Sky Diana in the distance, waving her snow white hand at him with a charming smile.


    "Damn, kid, you did it!"


    After a moment of surprise, Blaze Peter nudged Blaze Regret with his elbow, grinning like an old fox.


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand!"


    Blaze Ash took the gold coins from Blaze Regret''s hand and directly quoted a terrifying number. Snow Fazlin looked to Kartis Kai for help, only to find the latter''s face looking as if he had eaten a dead rat.


    This time, he truly example the saying "trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the bait." Not only did he fail to get the necklace, but he also couldn''t return to the Blaze family!


    In the future, it would be even more difficult to learn the location hidden in the necklace!


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, once!"


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, twice!"


    "Two hundred and eighty thousand, three times!"


    "Sold!"


    Blaze Ash let out a sigh of relief, as if he had fought a difficult battle. What he was thinking in his heart, no one knew. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What exactly does the Ice Lotus Master''s map record?"


    Ignoring the blade like gazes from Snow Fazlin and Snow Amar, Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, with a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.


    After the auction ended, those who had successfully bid on items began to enter the backstage area for the handover process, while the others followed the crowd out of the auction hall.


    "Old man, you really pulled it off."


    In front of the auction hall, Blaze Peter crossed his arms and glanced at Kartis Kai, his voice tinged with anger. Clearly, Kartis Kai''s previous actions had successfully ignited his fury.


    "Hehe, I believe that with the Snow family''s strength, they will surely come out on top in this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Seemingly ignoring Blaze Peter''s voice, Kartis Kai continued to converse with Snow Azrul and others as if no one else was around, occasionally letting out bursts of laughter.


    Watching this scene, many strong individuals had peculiar expressions. Wasn''t Kartis Kai a member of the Blaze family? Why was he conversing so happily with people from the Snow family?


    "A dog of the Blaze family remains a dog of the Blaze family, no matter how well it gets along with outsiders. When it''s mealtime, it will naturally come back."


    Blaze Ash walked out slowly, handing a box containing the map and the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond to Blaze Regret without even glancing at Kartis Kai, then turned and headed back to the Blaze family.


    "Blaze Ash!" Kartis Kai''s face twitched, his eyes full of anger. If it weren''t for the disparity in their strength, he would have already fought him.


    "I really don''t understand what the head of the family is afraid of. It''s just a Spirit Lord. Why not just kill him and be done with it? Why go through all this trouble?" Kartis Kai thought furiously.


    "Senior, let''s go."


    Snow Fazlin glanced at Blaze Peter, then gave Blaze Regret a cold stare before leading the Snow family members back to their home. Although they didn''t get the map, gaining the alliance of a Spirit Lord level expert was still a small win.

 Chapter 69 - 69 The Beginning

    "You keep this map for now. When we enter the Black Forest, you must hand it over to me intact."


    Reluctantly pulling his gaze away from the box in Blaze Regret''s hand, Snow Amar smiled. In his mind, both the Ice Lotus Master''s map and Blaze Regret''s life were already his possessions.


    "Hey."


    After Snow Amar left, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly came from the side.


    Blaze Regret turned his head and saw a young girl smiling at him. Her eyes, like a clear pool of water, easily evoked goodwill.


    "Miss Sky?" Blaze Regret nodded and smiled. "Thank you for the Sky family''s help. My father asked me to convey his gratitude."


    "That was a minor matter and also my father''s wish. But tomorrow, we are heading to the Black Forest," Sky Diana said with a smile.


    "Tomorrow already?"


    Blaze Regret fell into a brief silence. Ever since he had awakened his spiritual senses, he had been immersed in cultivation. The only external environment he had been exposed to was the back mountain, and he had not yet experienced real training.


    However, he was confident that he could quickly adapt to that kind of life.


    "This time, the Angsana Pavilion Festival being held in the Black Forest is quite unexpected. The Batas Shop has confirmed that Snow Amar will be participating, but we haven''t received any information about the other two competitors," Sky Diana said, slightly serious.


    "Snow Amar, huh¡­"


    Blaze Regret smiled slightly. Among the younger generation in Veloria City, Snow Amar was considered the strongest, but now, that might no longer be the case.


    The Black Forest, located south of Veloria City, was usually uninhabited due to its unique restrictions.


    These restrictions made the forest rich in spiritual herbs and rare medicinal materials, to an unimaginable extent. It was said that many rare spirit beasts, hard to find elsewhere, could be found in the forest.


    The next morning, the leaders of the three major merchant Shop gathered in front of the Black Forest. Besides them, a woman in a fiery red cheongsam was conversing with them.


    "Alif Azlin?"


    Following Mark''s instructions, Blaze Regret arrived at the Black Forest and was puzzled when he saw the woman.


    "Did you really think Alif Azlin was just an auctioneer?"


    Sky Diana approached Blaze Regret and laughed softly. "She is actually the head of Angsana Pavilion in Veloria City. Her role as an auctioneer is just a cover."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded in understanding.


    "Sis, is this the person who is supposed to join our team?"


    A young man, about Blaze Regret''s age, suddenly stepped out from behind Sky Diana, looking at Blaze Regret with a gaze full of doubt. "An eighth rank Spirit Novice? What was Manager Mark thinking? Isn''t it obvious he''s going to hold us back?"


    Sky Diana gave Blaze Regret an apologetic smile and then looked at the young man with some displeasure. "Sky Nasrul, how can you speak like that? Apologize to Blaze Regret right now."


    "Sis, I will not apologize to a weakling," Sky Nasrul retorted stubbornly, glaring at Blaze Regret.


    "Hehe, Sky Nasrul is right. The weak indeed do not deserve an apology," Snow Amar said with a smile, standing behind Mat kun.


    "We haven''t even started, and the atmosphere is already so tense?"


    Alif Azlin walked over with a smile, lowering her body slightly to meet Blaze Regret''s gaze. "You must be the young alchemist everyone in the city has been talking about these past few days. Let me formally introduce myself. I''m Alif Azlin, the person in charge of this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Seeing Alif Azlin greet Blaze Regret, Snow Amar''s expression instantly turned cold. He had always had a considerable affection for Alif Azlin and had even pursued her a few times in secret.


    Of course, each attempt had ended in failure.


    Shaking Alif Azlin''s soft, jade like hand, Blaze Regret smiled and said, "No wonder the Second Elder always says that Sister Alif Azlin is the most charming person in Veloria City."


    "You smooth talker."


    Alif Azlin was momentarily taken aback and then stood up, laughing and crying at the same time. She hadn''t expected a young man to flirt with her the moment they met.


    However, she quite enjoyed the compliment. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The Catas Merchant Shop really did invite the Met family brothers..."


    Blaze Regret glanced at the trio behind Alif Azlin and thought to himself that if he encountered all three at once, it would likely cause significant trouble.


    "Hehe, Mark, it looks like you''re destined to lose this time."


    Mat Kun looked at Blaze Regret and the others with a smug smile. The lineup of the Atlas Merchant Shop was incomparable, especially since it included an eighth rank Spirit novice.


    Could it be that Mark couldn''t find anyone better and had to settle for such trash?


    "It''s not over until it''s over. Who knows what the outcome will be?"


    Mark retorted without backing down, confronting Mat Kun head on, while the Catas Merchant Shop remained silent, as if the conflict had nothing to do with them.


    "Now, let me explain the rules."


    Alif Azlin smiled, raising her delicate hand slightly. Nine sheets of white paper floated into the hands of the nine participants.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret glanced at the two individuals standing next to Snow Amar, his brow furrowing subtly. Since their arrival, these two had been cloaked in black robes and had not uttered a single word. They didn''t seem like easy people to deal with.


    "You all know that due to the restrictions of the Black Forest, anyone with strength above a Spirit Novice cannot enter. However, within the forest, there are many rare spiritual herbs and medicinal materials. The items listed on this sheet are what you need to collect.


    The group that gathers the most valuable items will receive a special reward from the Angsana Pavilion," Alif Azlin explained with a smile.


    Blaze Regret inwardly rolled his eyes, already suspecting that Angsana Pavilion wouldn''t be so kind. Even he was tempted by some of the spiritual herbs and medicinal materials on the list.


    "The time limit is three days. Now, you may enter."

 Chapter 70 - 70 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal1

    Although it was early morning, a thin mist lingered throughout the Black Forest. Looking up, the sunlight filtered through the canopy, significantly dimmed by the leaves.


    "This forest is indeed strange."


    Blaze Regret walked slowly with Red, the latter bouncing around like an excited rabbit, startling many small spirit beasts hiding in the bushes, causing them to flee in all directions.


    "Keep up with us, don''t fall behind."


    Up ahead, Sky Nasrul suddenly turned around and shouted, his voice filled with impatience.


    Ever since they entered the Black Forest, he hadn''t shown Blaze Regret a friendly face. He thought, "Just an eighth level spirit novice, what are you doing here? Wouldn''t it be better to stay at home?"


    Shrugging helplessly, Blaze Regret didn''t argue with Sky Nasrul. He continued to walk slowly, but his spiritual sense had already covered a radius of twenty meters, ready to detect any danger immediately.


    "Something''s wrong, there seems to be a big one ahead."


    Sky Diana, who had been walking, suddenly stopped. She extended her hand, and a pale blue summoning array quickly appeared beside her. In an instant, a spinning wind vortex emerged, blowing away all the fallen leaves on the ground.


    The wind vortex was about half the size of a person, with arms that rotated like a cold wind. In its upper part, one could vaguely see a pair of cold eyes.


    "A high level ninth rank Wind Elemental?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with surprise. Wind Elementals typically started at the mid level novice rank, and Sky Diana''s Wind Elemental had clearly broken through its initial rank.


    Seeing the surprise in Blaze Regret''s eyes, Sky Nasrul''s disdain grew even stronger. With a wave of his hand, a Wind Elemental with an aura no weaker than Sky Diana''s also appeared.


    "Rustle!"


    At that moment, a giant tree ahead, indistinguishable from ordinary trees, suddenly shook its branches and leaves, rustling loudly. Its roots abruptly pulled out from the soil and squirmed wildly, charging towards the three of them.


    "Whoosh!"


    Before they could get closer, the giant tree suddenly shook violently. In an instant, several sharp wooden vines shot out from the ground where Blaze Regret and his companions stood, with some damp soil clinging to them.


    "Don''t get in our way!"


    A low growl from Sky Nasrul made Blaze Regret pause. He then saw a wind vortex push him out of the way. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Damn, this guy really thinks I''m a burden."


    Blaze Regret smiled bitterly but didn''t command Red to act. The giant tree, known as the Green Leaf Tree Demon, was merely a mid level ninth rank spirit beast and posed no significant threat.


    "Wind Elemental, use Wind Blade to cut off its roots!"


    Following Sky Nasrul''s order, the Wind Elemental waved its transparent hand, and several wind blades materialized out of thin air. They shot out swiftly, slicing into the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s roots.


    "Slash!"


    With almost no resistance, several of the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s roots were severed. However, it reacted quickly, swinging its branch like arms to shatter the remaining wind blades.


    As its attack was blocked, the Wind Elemental spun rapidly like a top and fiercely struck the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s trunk, causing wood splinters to fly everywhere.


    High level novice rank spirit skill, Whirling Wind Dance!


    "Go and help it out."


    Sky Diana''s soft voice commanded, and the Wind Elemental in front of her shot forward instantly. With a flicker, it appeared behind the Green Leaf Tree Demon and collided heavily with it.


    Under the combined assault of the two Wind Elementals, the Green Leaf Tree Demon''s body creaked and was pierced through. The light in its hollow eyes faded, and it crashed to the ground with a resounding thud.


    In that moment, a wave of dust and debris swept across dozens of meters.


    "Good thing you didn''t mess things up, otherwise we''d have to waste time saving you."


    Sky Nasrul collected the spirit core brought by the Wind Elemental into his Void Realms stone and gave Blaze Regret a look that said "you know what''s good for you." He then took out another wind element spirit core and fed it to the Wind Elemental.


    "I don''t need your rescue."


    Sky Diana sighed helplessly. Her brother was usually kind to people, but today he seemed to be in a strange mood, constantly picking on Blaze Regret.


    "Let''s keep moving."


    Blaze Regret smiled inwardly. This little guy was quite amusing. Pushing him out of the battlefield right away was indeed a protective gesture, but his words were a bit too harsh.


    They were soon attacked by a few more spirit beasts, but none were particularly strong. The strongest among them was merely a mid level eighth rank novice, and the Wind Elemental easily tore it to pieces.


    "Wait!" Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened. "Something''s off ahead."


    "Hmm?"


    Sky Diana furrowed her brows slightly and extended her spiritual sense. Her eyes blinked in confusion. "I can''t sense anything."


    "There is definitely something there. We can''t go any further; it''s better to detour around it!" Blaze Regret insisted firmly.


    He was indeed an eighth rank spirit disciple, but his spiritual power was not comparable to that of Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul, who were both ninth rank spirit novice. From his perception, there was a large group of entities ahead in the forest that could pose a lethal threat to them.


    "Seriously? Are all Blaze family members this cowardly? Your courage is really lacking!"


    Sky Nasrul said with exasperation, "Besides, don''t you think I can judge if there''s danger or not? Do I need an eighth rank spirit novice like you to remind me?"


    After speaking, Sky Nasrul strutted forward, leading the Wind Elemental with him.


    "How about we take a detour?" Sky Diana hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed with Blaze Regret''s suggestion.


    "No need!"


    Sky Nasrul carelessly pushed aside the branches in front of him. However, in the next moment, his nonchalant expression turned into one of terror as a deafening, soul stirring buzzing sound filled his ears!


    "Bloodthirsty Bees?"


    As Sky Nasrul''s panicked voice echoed, Blaze Regret''s expression also became much more serious.

 Chapter 71 - 71 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 2

    Bloodthirsty Bees, low level novice grade spirit beasts, rarely ever ascend to mid level novice in their lifetime.


    But don''t be misled by their apparent lack of power; their true terror lies in their numbers!


    Even a massive Flame Tiger would be stung to death in mere seconds, left as nothing but a bloodless corpse!


    "Run!"


    With a face full of fear, Sky Nasrul ran back. Behind him, an enormous swarm of Bloodthirsty Bees, their transparent wings vibrating, surged forward like a dark cloud!


    "Wind Blades!"


    Sky Diana''s delicate face was tense as her Wind Elemental swung its icy hands repeatedly. With each swipe, wind blades cut through the air, and clusters of Bloodthirsty Bees fell to the ground, writhing weakly. But the number of dead bees was insignificant compared to the total swarm!


    "Help!"


    The increasingly loud buzzing behind him filled Sky Nasrul with extreme fear. Even as he frantically channeled his spiritual power, the deadly swarm kept closing in.


    His Wind Elemental fared even worse, as several Bloodthirsty Bees caught up to it. The sharp bee stingers mercilessly pierced through its body, and with a twist, the stingers struck again.


    The speed was dazzling.


    If it weren''t for the unique structure of the wind attribute spirit beast, that Wind Elemental would have been annihilated by now. Even so, its body was thinning visibly.


    "Looks like it''s up to me," Blaze Regret sighed lightly.


    The Scorching Flame Cat on the ground took a small step forward with its paw, and flames immediately surged from its entire body, a glint of battle intent flashing in its eyes.


    "Buzz!"


    Swarms of bloodthirsty bees, each the size of a soybean, filled the sky, their numbers akin to a plague of locusts, causing an involuntary shiver down one''s spine.


    "Wow!"


    An unfortunate crow that accidentally flew by was instantly riddled with countless blood holes, and in its desperate struggle, it turned into a skeleton, falling to the ground with a thud.


    Seeing the crow''s miserable end, Sky Nasrul''s legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his shoulders trembling, eyes filled with terror.


    "Sis, help!" Sky Nasrul cried out in despair, his face ashen.


    "Dance of the Gale!"


    Sky Diana''s anxious voice rang out, and the wind element before her began to spin rapidly, creating a sharp whistling sound as it charged into the swarm of bloodthirsty bees, shredding a large number of them to pieces.


    However, more bloodthirsty bees still broke through the barrier of wind elements, darting towards Sky Nasrul with lightning speed. Their tiny, bloodthirsty eyes stared at Sky Nasrul with deadly intent.


    "Am I going to die..."


    A bitter smile emerged at the corner of Sky Nasrul''s mouth, and he despairingly watched as countless bloodthirsty bees swarmed over him.


    Smelling the scent of blood carried by the wind, Sky Nasrul unwillingly closed his eyes.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    However, even after closing his eyes for a long time, the expected pain did not come. He opened his eyes in confusion and saw a slightly thin figure standing quietly in front of him. Around them, a semicircular flame barrier rippled continuously under the impact of the bloodthirsty bees.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but be stunned. A defensive spirit technique could only be performed by a Spirit warrior, as a Spirit novice''s spiritual power was insufficient to sustain it. Yet, Blaze Regret in front of him was actually using a defensive spirit technique?


    "Withdraw your wind element. If you delay any longer, it will dissipate."


    At this moment, Blaze Regret''s calm voice reached Sky Nasrul. Snapping back to reality, Sky Nasrul quickly opened the Spirit portal and retrieved the wind element that had started to appear somewhat ethereal.


    Feeling the injuries of the wind element, Sky Nasrul''s heart was filled with bitterness. With injuries of this extent, it would be impossible to recover in less than ten days to half a month.


    "Wind element, return!"


    Sky Diana''s wind element had also reached its limit. After extinguishing another swarm of bloodthirsty bees, her spiritual power was finally depleted, and she recalled it.


    "Go quickly, don''t worry about me. Your spiritual power won''t last much longer either, right?" Sky Nasrul raised his head, his face filled with bitterness. Despite his dislike for the person in front of him, he didn''t have the heart to drag him down to die together.


    "It''s up to you now," Blaze Regret said softly to the Red at his feet, as if he hadn''t heard Sky Nasrul at all.


    "Roar!"


    Nodding slightly, the Red Flame on Red''s body began to glow brightly. Then, in a flash, it charged directly into the swarm of bloodthirsty bees.


    "Whoosh!" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Torrential flames instantly swept out from Red''s body, transforming into a fiery whirlwind that spun continuously around it. In no time, the sound of crackling was heard, and one bloodthirsty bee after another fell, trailing wisps of green smoke.


    "Fiery Whirlwind, Ninth Tier?"


    Sky Nasrul''s mouth gaped open, and he shouted in disbelief.


    The spirit technique Red was using at that moment was called Fiery Whirlwind, and only a Ninth Tier Scorching Flame Cat could comprehend it!


    "Yes, the Ninth Tier," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.


    "But you were just an Eighth Tier Spirit novice!" Sky Nasrul looked at Blaze Regret, his face full of incredulity.


    "I was at the Eighth Tier just a moment ago, and now I''m at the Ninth Tier," Blaze Regret said, touching his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Nasrul''s forehead was covered in black lines. At the Angsana Auction House, Blaze Regret''s aura had been very chaotic, clearly having just broken through to the Eighth Tier. But after just one day, he had become a Ninth Tier Spirit novice. What kind of speed was this!


    Blaze Regret naturally wouldn''t tell him that it was the effect of the Earth Flame Pill. The Earth Flame Pill with pill patterns had minimized the side effects, so Red''s breakthrough speed was much faster.


    "Woof!"


    Seeing the bloodthirsty bees continuously charging towards it, Red suddenly felt extremely displeased. It opened its mouth, and fiery red spiritual power gathered in its mouth, transforming into a blazing sun that floated in mid air. Above the fiery whirlwind, it exploded with a bang.

 Chapter 72 - 72 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 3

    In an instant, terrifying energy swept around, and the scorching high temperature caused the surviving bloodthirsty bees to flee in panic. On the ground, the bloodthirsty bees with broken wings continued to struggle.


    "Buzz!"


    Just after scattering, an even larger number of bloodthirsty bees flew out from the forest, a black, rolling tide. The terrifying number even caused Blaze Regret''s face to change.


    "Over here!"


    Suddenly, Sky Diana''s clear voice echoed from behind. Without thinking, Blaze Regret grabbed Sky Nasrul from the ground and ran towards the source of the voice. Red, wagging its little tail, quickly followed.


    As Blaze Regret rushed over, he saw Sky Diana standing in front of a tree hole, anxiously waving her jade hand. After throwing Sky Nasrul into the tree hole, Blaze Regret pulled Sky Diana in as well.


    "Bang!"


    A solid wooden plank blocked the entrance to the hole. The sound of impacts, like raindrops, kept ringing out. The piercing sound of wings flapping was so clear that the three of them could hear it even inside the tree hole.


    "Um, could you let go now..."


    A tiny, mosquito like voice suddenly rang out, causing Blaze Regret to freeze for a moment. He quickly pushed the soft, warm figure in his arms away, with the lingering fragrance still faintly swirling around his nose.


    "Blaze Regret, how dare you hug my sister!"


    Behind him, Sky Nasrul roared like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grabbing Blaze Regret''s neck and shaking him furiously.


    "If you shake me one more time, I might just let go."


    With his head shaking to the point of dizziness, Blaze Regret turned his head and helplessly spoke to Sky Nasrul.


    Thinking about the terrifying creatures outside, Sky Nasrul shuddered and quickly released his grip, but his eyes still angrily glared at Blaze Regret.


    "Cut it out."


    Sky Diana extended her slender hand, turning Sky Nasrul''s face aside. Due to the dim light inside the tree hole, no one could see that her crystalline earlobes were faintly blushing.


    "This wooden plank is quite sturdy. It must have been left by a Lord grade wood type spirit beast."


    After a dry cough, Blaze Regret suddenly spoke, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.


    "Yes, the tree hole we''re in is actually the remains of a Wild Wood Demon. This plank was left behind after its spirit core was taken out when it was killed."


    Sky Diana''s knowledge of spirit beasts was clearly no less than Blaze Regret''s, as she softly nodded.


    "According to the bloodthirsty bees'' habits, they should linger for about another half an hour. During this time, it''s best if we don''t go out."


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret looked at the dim shadows on the ground. "You know what to do, right?"


    "Woof!"


    Red extended its paws with a look of grievance, and bright flames ignited, dispelling much of the darkness within the tree hole.


    When Blaze Regret turned his head, he saw Sky Nasrul looking as wild as a beast. At that moment, he seemed to suddenly understand why the latter had such a fiery temper upon meeting him.


    "Such a child..."


    Turning his head away, Blaze Regret muttered inwardly.


    In the silent forest, thin mist swirled around, and giant trees stood like colossal umbrellas, their dense branches extending outward. Among them, a slightly withered tree stood out conspicuously.


    "Thud!"


    Suddenly, a gap opened beneath the withered tree, and a small, Scorching Flame Cat head poked out sneakily, cautiously surveying the surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, it jumped out, half squatting on the ground and wagging its nimble little tail.


    After the Scorching Flame Cat emerged, Blaze Regret and the others finally crouched and exited the tree hole. Each of their faces carried expressions of having narrowly escaped a disaster.


    "The outside world is indeed danger," Blaze Regret said with a wry smile as he walked over to the Scorching Flame Cat. The back mountain of the Blaze family couldn''t compare to this place at all. One was a primitive forest, while the other had been developed, with many aggressive spirit beasts already cleared out by the elders.


    "Hiss!"


    Behind them, Sky Nasrul gasped in pain. The wind element within him had been severely injured, and his condition was far from optimistic. In his spirit portal, a constant needle like pain persisted.


    "Here, take these."


    With a wave of his hand, Blaze Regret took out two wooden boxes from the Void Realms stone and tossed them to Sky Nasrul and Sky Diana.


    "This is... Qi Restoration Pills?" S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Opening the wooden box, Sky Diana''s eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.


    Qi Restoration Pills not only replenished a Spirit Master''s spiritual energy but also directly healed spirit beasts. They were essential for many Spirit Masters during their training outside.


    However, the price of these pills was extremely high. One pill cost six thousand gold coins, and the wooden box Blaze Regret tossed over contained five Qi Restoration Pills each!


    "Thank you," they said.


    With a grateful smile towards Blaze Regret, Sky Diana didn''t stand on ceremony. She took out a Qi Restoration Pill and consumed it, then summoned the wind element and fed it another pill.


    Before long, the entire body of the rapidly rotating wind element was enveloped in a dense white aura.


    "I apologize for my previous attitude, but I still find you quite detestable!" Sky Nasrul''s face changed several times before he drooped his head in frustration. No matter how much he wanted to act tough, the wind element''s injuries wouldn''t allow it.


    Blaze Regret laughed indifferently and took out the list given by Alif Azlin from the Void Realms stone, pondering aloud, "My list records the location of the Ziyou Grass. How about yours?"


    "Mine is for the Nine Mystical Leaves."


    "Same here."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret felt a headache coming on. It was clear that the items on each person''s list were different, and correspondingly, their values varied as well.


    "This Angsana Pavilion has really found themselves a bunch of free herb gatherers."

 Chapter 73 - 73 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 4

    His mouth twitched slightly as Blaze Regret''s eyes caught sight of a skeleton in the distance. Behind the skeleton was a medicine basket, a clear indication that it belonged to someone who had previously participated in the Angsana Gathering Festival.


    "Let''s go pick the Ziyou Grass first. This herb is indeed hard to find in the outside world. Even if you have money, no one would sell it."


    Folding the list several times and putting it back into the void realms stone, Blaze Regret extended his hand, and Red immediately climbed onto his shoulder.


    Ziyou Grass is one of the essential ingredients for refining the Purple Inscription Pill, often found growing around the lairs of Ziyou Serpents.


    Fortunately, the Ziyou Serpent is only a mid level novice grade spirit beast, so even though two of their spirit beasts couldn''t fight, Blaze Regret''s Scirching Flame Cat alone was able to slay all the Ziyou Serpents that attempted to attack them.


    Blaze Regret''s list recorded four locations where Ziyou Grass grew, but each place showed signs of previous visitors. Those traces were extremely old, likely left by the person who wrote the list.


    "A total of 168 stalks of second grade herb Ziyou Grass, not a bad harvest. Now it''s time to pick some Nine Mystical Leaves."


    Muttering softly, Blaze Regret extended his hand, and Sky Nasrul cooperatively handed over the list.


    Raising his head in slight frustration, Sky Nasrul looked at the faint white mist floating above the forest. He had completely submitted to Blaze Regret''s prowess by now. Though they were both at the ninth level of the Spirit novice stage, the gap between them was immense.


    Blaze Regret''s spiritual power seemed inexhaustible; even after multiple uses of Fiery Whirlwind by the fiery creature, there was no sign of fatigue.


    "But even so, you and he can''t be compared on the same level."


    Glancing at the smiling Sky Diana, Sky Nasrul sighed inwardly but then shook his head. These matters were better left for others to worry about.


    Unlike Ziyou Grass, Nine Mystical Leaves only grow around a specific type of tree called the Nine Mystical Tree. Each leaf has nine leaflets, making them look very orderly.


    Under a Nine Mystical Tree, the three of them gently picked the Nine Mystical Leaves and placed them into the void realms stone.


    "Why does that area look a bit red?"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on a distant shrub, a hint of confusion flashing across his face.


    Red leaped down and ran to the shrub, gently pawing at it with its cat paw. A plant emitting a faint red glow appeared before their eyes.


    "Blazing Blade Flower?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul both exclaimed in surprise.


    Looking at the fiery red plant in the distance, Blaze Regret''s eyes also twitched slightly. The Blazing Blade Flower, a second grade spiritual herb, has the effect of stabilizing the rank of fire attribute spirit beasts. It is especially suitable for spirit beasts that have just broken through. More importantly, this herb can make the consuming spirit beast''s claws sharper!


    "Hiss!"


    Just as Red was about to swallow the Blazing Blade Flower, a shadow suddenly burst out from the nearby trees, attacking Red. A wave of heat spread over the shrub.


    "Flame Eagle?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s faces changed simultaneously. The aura of this Flame Eagle was not weaker than that of Red, and what made it even more threatening was that the Flame Eagle could soar into the sky!


    The Flame Eagle swooped down fiercely, its eyes sharp, and its talons seemed capable of tearing through rock.


    "Swish!"


    However, just as its sharp claws touched Red, the small figure on the ground suddenly dissipated. A sharp gust of wind suddenly shot up the giant tree, and then, with a bounce, the figure landed on the Flame Eagle''s back like a flash of lightning.


    "A fake?"


    Sky Nasrul''s eyes widened in disbelief, while Sky Diana revealed a knowing smile. She had long known that Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat had a spirit skill that could deceive opponents.


    "Swish!"


    Scorching flames enveloped the cat''s paw, and then, under the fierce gaze of Red, it plunged straight into the Flame Eagle''s body.


    "Screech!"


    The Flame Eagle let out a painful cry, frantically thrashing in mid air, trying to shake off the fiery creature. However, the latter''s body started to spin at this moment, transforming into a rapidly rotating whirlwind in the sky, driven by the Flame Eagle''s movements!

    After a brief struggle, the Flame Eagle finally fell powerlessly to the ground with a thud.


    Rubbing its slightly dizzy head, Red quickly dug out the Flame Eagle''s spirit core and, after cleaning it, swallowed it in one gulp.


    "There shouldn''t be any more surprises now."


    Blaze Regret crossed a few shrubs and walked over to the Blazing Blade Flower. After ensuring there was no danger, he extended his hand, intending to pull up the Blazing Blade Flower.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, just at that moment, a scorching beam of flame, filled with murderous intent, suddenly shot down from above his head!


    The intense heat from above startled Blaze Regret. With a quick tap of his toes on the ground, he retreated swiftly amid the surging flames.


    "Boom!"


    The fiery beam missed its target, instantly blasting a pitch-black pit into the ground.


    "Who is it?"


    Blaze Regret looked up, his cold gaze directed toward the treetop.


    There, a figure draped in a black robe reclined on a tree branch, looking at him with a smirk. At the figure''s feet lay a fire wolf, its eyes icy and flames flickering along its spine.


    "Someone from the Batas Shop?"


    As Blaze Regret stared at the figure, his eyes narrowed, a chill quickly flashing in their depths.


    "Didn''t expect to wake up and have a big gift delivered."


    The figure on the branch slowly stood up, balancing against the thick tree trunk. After glancing at Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul, the figure''s playful eyes rested on Blaze Regret again. He chuckled, "Leave the Void Realm Stone, and you can go."


    "Hiding your face like a coward, show yourself if you have the guts!" Sky Nasrul said coldly.

 Chapter 74 - 74 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 5

    "Heh."


    With a smile, the person raised their hand, pushing back the hood of the black robe to reveal a slightly sinister face.


    "Black Metal?" Sky Diana''s beautiful eyes narrowed immediately.


    This Black Metal was quite a notorious figure in Veloria City. At the age of fifteen, he killed his own brother to compete for family resources, causing widespread gossip throughout the city.


    His ruthless nature made some members of the four major families avoid him whenever they saw him.


    Looking at the figure above, a cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. "What if I refuse?"


    Upon hearing this, Black Metal chuckled lightly, a mocking expression appearing on his face. "Blaze Regret, do you really think anyone here cares about your status as the young master of the Blaze family? If you think you can scare me off with that, I can only say you''re too naive!"


    As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the fire wolf at his feet bent its back slightly before suddenly leaping to the ground, scattering dead branches and leaves everywhere.


    "A ninth level high tier novice class Rage Fire Wolf?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, "No, it also has a hint of warrior tier aura."


    "Clap! Clap!"


    Standing on the branch, Black Metal clapped his hands with a smile. "I didn''t expect your strength to be so so, but your perception is decent. Indeed, my Rage Fire Wolf is only one step away from the warrior stage. If you don''t want to die, leave the item and get lost quickly."


    "Heh, just one step away? In reality, it just failed to break through to the warrior tier," Sky Nasrul mocked mercilessly.


    The potential of spirit beasts varies, and those that fail to break through to the next rank often find it significantly harder to succeed in future attempts.


    "Do you have a death wish?" sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Black Metal''s face slowly darkened, his voice cold and sinister. "I''ve already given you a chance to live. Since you don''t cherish it, you can all go to hell!"


    "Swish!"


    As soon as Black Metal''s words fell, the Rage Fire Wolf transformed into a streak of fire, charging straight at Sky Nasrul. The leaves it stirred up spiraled around it like a vortex, exuding a faint scorched smell.


    "Wind Element, Whirlwind Dance!"


    Sensing the terrifying speed of the Rage Fire Wolf, sky Nasrul''s heart sank. He quickly summoned the wind elemental from his spirit portal.


    The wind elemental, emerging from the spirit portal, began to spin rapidly, like a whirlwind, and collided heavily with the incoming Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Bang!"


    Upon impact, the Rage Fire Wolf''s body was momentarily halted, but the wind elemental was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away. It let out a painful scream as it crashed into the trunk of a giant tree, dissipating significantly.


    Seeing this, Sky Nasrul''s face turned slightly pale. Black Metal''s Rage Fire Wolf had almost reached the warrior tier, far beyond what his wind elemental could contend with!


    "Howl!"


    After sending the wind elemental flying, the Rage Fire Wolf turned and lunged at Sky Nasrul, emitting a foul stench from its mouth.


    "Roar!"


    At that moment, Red finally finished absorbing the spirit crystal of the Flame Eagle. With a light leap, it rose about three feet off the ground, and with a sweep of its tail, Sky Nasrul was pushed out of harm''s way.


    Sky Nasrul smiled wryly as he retracted the wind elemental back into his spirit portal. He hadn''t expected that what he had once done to Blaze Regret would soon happen to him. This time, he was the one dragging others down.


    After pushing Sky Nasrul out of the way, Red''s body transformed into a fiery whirlwind. Using the momentum, it dodged the Rage Fire Wolf''s sweeping claws.


    "Bang!"


    After a brief separation, the two spirit beasts clashed again, colliding fiercely. The impact sent the fallen leaves in the area flying, creating a sizable vacuum zone.


    Watching the two spirit beasts battle, Black Metal was secretly shocked. His Rage Fire Wolf could easily tear apart a ninth level high tier novice class spirit beast, but this unassuming little fire Cat could withstand its attacks and not show any signs of weakness!


    With a slight tilt of its head, a few strands of fur on the left side of the Rage Fire Wolf''s face were instantly cut off by Red''s sharp claws. Finally, anger surged in the Rage Fire Wolf''s eyes. It raised its paw, and fiery flames erupted, then it swiped fiercely at Red''s throat.


    Where the wolf''s claw passed, even the air seemed to ignite.


    Spirit Technique: Wrath Flame Strike!


    Red reacted swiftly, countering unceremoniously with a blazing claw.


    Both were forced to retreat simultaneously. The Rage Fire Wolf opened its mouth, unleashing a beam of fire that carried intense heat. Several leaves, dislodged by the collision''s aftermath, were instantly incinerated to ashes.


    "Roar!"


    With a sharp cat cry, three streams of fire coalesced around Red, rotating rapidly like streaks of light.


    "Bang!"


    Crossing its claws, Red took the brunt of the incoming fire beam directly on its Cat paws, which propelled it backward until it crashed into a protruding boulder. Fine cracks immediately appeared on the rock''s surface.


    Shaking its little head to dislodge a few pieces of debris, Red stared indifferently at the Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Spirit Technique: Flame Breath?"


    Seeing Red''s aura suddenly matching that of the Rage Fire Wolf, Black Metal''s pupils contracted. He finally realized how unrealistic it was to think he could wipe out the entire team by himself.


    In fact, Blaze Regret and his team were unaware that the previous swarm of Bloodthirsty Bees had been led there by Black Metal to weaken their strength. However, the effect wasn''t as significant as he had hoped.


    "If I had known, I would have joined forces with that guy!"


    A hint of regret flashed in Black Metal''s eyes as he shouted to the Rage Fire Wolf, "Come back, we''re leaving!"


    "Isn''t it a bit late to leave now?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly.

 Chapter 75 - 75 Blaze Regret Vs Black Metal 6

    "If I want to leave, you can''t stop me," Black Metal scoffed. Though he wasn''t confident about killing the Flame Breath possessing Red, he was equally certain that Red couldn''t do much against his Rage Fire Wolf.


    "Really? Then I guess I''ll have to prove you wrong."


    Blaze Regret spread his palm, and a faint light flickered, quickly restoring the spiritual energy Red had expended.


    At the same time, Red raised its head slightly. As the air twisted, a sun like fireball rapidly formed above it, emanating an incredibly intense wave of energy.


    The fireball floated above Red''s head, and as it burned, the surrounding air began to show signs of distortion. A sense of dryness spread out.


    "An warrior level spiritual skill?"


    Not only Black Metal but also Sky Nasrul felt their hearts race.


    Although Red had used the Blazing Sun once before, due to the cover of the Fiery Tornado, the terrifying nature of the fireball went unnoticed. Now, a look of fright quickly appeared in Sky Nasrul''s eyes.


    Immediately, his heart filled with bitterness. No wonder Blaze Regret remained indifferent to his taunts; in Blaze Regret''s eyes, he must have seemed like a mere clown.


    The Scorching Flame Cat, possessing an Warrior level spiritual skill, was not inferior to his wind elemental, even if it was only at the eighth tier!


    "Run!"


    The previously composed Black Metal, now with a drastically changed expression, roared and shot towards the edge of the field, flames bursting from his feet, blindingly bright.


    "Woof!"


    Seeing Black Metal and the Rage Flame Wolf trying to escape, Red flicked his head, and the Blazing Sun suspended in the air suddenly shot out. Its speed was like a streak of red light.


    Wherever the Blazing Sun passed, leaves quickly burned and turned black in an instant, forming a black path that extended straight towards the two of them.


    "Rage Flame Wolf, Flame Beam!"


    Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the Blazing Sun, a trace of horror flashed across Black Metal''s face. He hurriedly ordered the Rage Flame Wolf to launch an attack to obstruct the oncoming Blazing Sun.


    The Rage Flame Wolf paused, turned its head abruptly, and a blazing red flame beam shot out from its mouth to collide heavily with the Blazing Sun.


    However, the expected explosion did not occur. The Blazing Sun pierced through the flame beam as if tearing it apart.


    "How can this be!" Black Metal''s forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. For the first time, he regretted offending Blaze Regret!


    The Rage Flame Wolf was only one step away from reaching the warrior level, but it was ultimately still a high level novice tier spirit beast. The Blazing Sun, however, was a true warrior level spiritual skill!


    As it broke through the flame beam, the Blazing Sun expended a significant amount of energy, and its emitted light dimmed slightly. But it did not disappoint Blaze Regret; when it reached the Rage Flame Wolf, it exploded with a resounding boom!


    "Boom!"


    A loud noise echoed as the Rage Flame Wolf let out a wail and was blasted backward from the fire wave, leaving a long trail on the ground.


    When the Rage Flame Wolf shakily lifted its head again, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but gasp.


    The wolf''s face was a bloody mess, with blood continuously dripping down its chin, soaking the leaves below.


    "Blaze Regret, this isn''t over between us!"


    Shouting menacingly at Blaze Regret, Black Metal retracted the Rage Flame Wolf into its spirit portal. He suppressed the pain from the backlash and quickly fled the scene, disappearing in an instant.


    "No need to chase."


    Just as Sky Nasrul was about to release his wind elemental to pursue Black Metal, Blaze Regret gently shook his head.


    "Black Metal''s spirit beast is already severely injured and poses no threat to us," Sky Diana said with a light smile.


    "But what if he has a recovery pill or something similar?" Sky Nasrul asked, still anxious.


    "Then we''ll kill him again," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile. He then walked over to the Blazing Blade Flower, bent down, and gently plucked it.


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s words, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but shiver. The young man before him had undoubtedly entered his list of extremely dangerous individuals.


    "Woof!"


    With a gentle curl of its small tongue, Red swallowed the Blazing Blade Flower. Moments later, it licked its lips as if it still craved more.


    As the Blazing Blade Flower settled in its stomach, a faint red glow began to shimmer on Red''s little paws.


    The Blazing Blade Flower, a second grade spiritual herb, can enhance the claws of fire attributed spirit beasts, making them even sharper! Especially during the growth period of a spirit beast, this herb can lay a solid foundation for its future development.


    "Swish!"


    Red lightly raised its paw, and its sharp claws suddenly shot out, reflecting a cold light that sent chills down one''s spine.


    "So cold!"


    Gently stroking Red''s sharp claws, Sky Diana sighed softly.


    "Really?"


    Sky Nasrul was about to feel for himself but was startled by Red''s sudden fierce gaze. Clearly, Red had remembered all the times Sky Nasrul had mocked Blaze Regret. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Ahem, let''s continue searching for medicinal herbs. I recall there are still some places where Nine Mystic Leaves grow."


    Clearing his throat, Blaze Regret tried to smooth things over. Of course, he didn''t rush to find the other items listed. Apart from the medicinal herbs, the other spiritual medicines and treasures didn''t have detailed locations recorded. Instead of spending a lot of time on luck, it was better to secure all the medicinal herbs first.


    "Little one, head northwest. Hehe, the Flaming Spirit Blood Crystal I had you collect will come in handy."


    Suddenly, Master Magi''s light laugh echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "Northwest?"


    Blaze Regret cast his gaze into the distance. It seemed like there were also Nine Mystic Leaves growing there, which would save him the trouble of explaining things to the two from the Sky family.

 Chapter 76 - 76 Flaming Giant Spider 1

    As they walked, they dealt with a few spirit beasts that didn''t know better, and soon enough, Blaze Regret and his group arrived at the spot Master Magi had mentioned.


    There were numerous Nine Mystic Trees growing there, and behind the dense trees stood a not so tall mountain range.


    "There are so many Nine Mystic Leaves here?" Sky Nasrul was overjoyed. The more Nine Mystic Leaves they could gather, the higher the chances their team would take the lead. Therefore, the more of these rare herbs they could find, the better.


    "You guys collect the Nine Mystic Leaves here; I''ll go check out the other side," Blaze Regret said offhandedly before separating from the two.


    Sky Diana gave Blaze Regret a puzzled look but didn''t ask further, assuming he was going to try his luck on the other side of the mountain to see if there were any rare spiritual herbs like the Blazing Blade Flower.


    "Master Magi, are you sure it''s here?" S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Standing in front of the mountain wall, Blaze Regret helplessly touched the jagged rocks. Meanwhile, Red leaped off his shoulder, pulling out a dirt worm hidden in the grass with an excited expression.


    "Stop that!"


    Blaze Regret, with a black line across his face, grabbed Red by the waist and lifted it up. The unlucky dirt worm quickly burrowed back into the soil under Red''s menacing glare.


    "Don''t just look at the surface. Lightly push that imprint shaped rock on your left, and you might be surprised," Master Magi said, floating in mid air with a chuckle.


    "Clang!"


    Skeptically, Blaze Regret pressed the rock as Master Magi had instructed. To his astonishment, the seemingly seamless rock wall suddenly split open like a door with a loud clang.


    "Screech!"


    As the rock wall opened, a swarm of dark creatures with sharp screeches suddenly flew out, causing Blaze Regret to quickly duck down in alarm.


    "Flame Bats! My guess was right. There must be fire elemental spiritual beings within this mountain range," Master Magi said, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.


    Flame Bats were spirit beasts that loved to dwell in areas rich with fire elemental energy.


    "Fire elemental spiritual beings?"


    Blaze Regret muttered to himself. Some rare natural treasures were also called spiritual beings, such as the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond, which was one type of spiritual being.


    "It looks like coming to the Black Forest was indeed worth it."


    "Master Magi, there won''t be any big creatures in here, right?"


    Entering the cave, Blaze Regret cautiously walked along the only visible path and whispered.


    "Who can say for sure? But it''s always better to be careful," Master Magi replied nonchalantly.


    Licking his slightly dry lips, Blaze Regret scanned his surroundings. Although there was no light inside the cave, countless red crystals embedded in the cave walls emitted a soft glow, illuminating the space in a reddish hue.


    "Hmm, a fork?"


    Seeing several paths diverging ahead, Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow and waved his hand. The void realms stone hanging from his waist started spinning in front of him, and a long rope whistled out from it.


    "Good thing I came prepared."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly, tied one end of the rope to a rock at the fork, and tugged it firmly to ensure it was secure. Satisfied, he nodded.


    "Not bad, kid," Master Magi said with a smile, watching Blaze Regret grasp the other end of the rope. "Take the second path; the fire attribute energy is most concentrated there."


    Several more forks appeared as they proceeded. Following Master Magi''s guidance, Blaze Regret chose the correct paths without wasting any time.


    "Why is it getting hotter?"


    Pausing, Blaze Regret wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the entrance ahead, glowing with a faint red light. Feeling a surge of heat, he conjured a shield of fire energy around his body to fend off the warmth.


    Placing his hand on the stone wall, Blaze Regret cautiously peeked inside the cave, his eyes quickly scanning the interior.


    "Hiss!"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s gaze fixed on the center of the cave, and he couldn''t help but gasp.


    There, a gigantic flame spider lay crouched. Beneath the spider''s body was a pool of red liquid, exuding a rich fragrance that permeated the cave.


    "It''s indeed Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk," Master Magi suddenly chuckled.


    "Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk?" Chewing over the words, Blaze Regret asked in a low voice, "Is this related to the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond?"


    Ever since he had acquired the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond, he would often take it out to examine, but had not noticed anything special about it.


    "Hehe, little guy, this is a treasure," Master Magi chuckled. "The flame inside the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond is called the Heavenly Crystal Flame. It can help a Spirit Beast of the novice rank maintain its original grade when breaking through. Without this, your Scorching Flame Cat would at best become a mid tier warrior rank after breaking through.


    But if the Heavenly Crystal Flame is refined, your little Cat can maintain its high tier grade."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was overjoyed. He then looked at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk beneath the body of the flame spider and asked, "So this thing can melt the crystal wall around the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond?"


    "Correct," Master Magi nodded with a smile, but then suddenly poured cold water on Blaze Regret''s enthusiasm. "As for how to get it, you''ll have to figure that out yourself. Also, that big guy is called the Flaming Giant Spider. Judging by its size, it''s a mid tier, fourth rank warrior level Spirit Beast."


    With that, Master Magi laughed mischievously and disappeared into the void realms stone, leaving Blaze Regret to deal with the situation.


    Sighing, Blaze Regret looked at the sleeping Flaming Giant Spider, his mind racing with thoughts.


    "Red, go give it a shot!"


    After a moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes hardened, finally making a decision.


    "Woof!"


    Nodding lightly, Red tiptoed to the back of the Flaming Giant Spider. After sizing it up, flames surged on its claws, and it struck fiercely.

 Chapter 77 - 77 Flaming Giant Spider 2

    "Hiss!"


    The spider''s eyes shot open, its face contorted with an extraordinary expression. Its entire body convulsed, shooting out white spider silk wildly.


    Dodging the flying silk with swift movements, Red provocatively waved its chubby little paw at the enraged spider.


    With its eight legs stomping on the ground, the Flaming Giant Spider reared its body high, instantly doubling in size, and then charged fiercely at Red.


    As the spider charged forward, one of its front legs was raised high, the sharp tip gleaming menacingly.


    "Woof!"


    Startled by the speed of the Flaming Giant Spider, Red quickly turned and ran towards the cave entrance. Behind it, the enraged spider repeatedly stabbed its legs into the ground, leaving a trail of charred pits.


    "Whoosh!" Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Pressed against the stone wall, Blaze Regret felt a gust of wind rush past his ears. Both Red and the Flaming Giant Spider vanished from sight, leaving behind a series of small pits that extended into the distance like a path.


    After cautiously probing to ensure there was no other danger in the cave, Blaze Regret finally walked inside with relief.


    Taking out the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond from the void realms stone, Blaze Regret looked at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, which was so hot that it seemed to vaporize the air around it. He opened his palm, and with a plop, the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond fell into the red liquid. But it quickly floated up and began to spin rapidly.


    "Gurgle!"


    Initially, there was no change in the Flame Spirit Blood Diamond. After a dozen breaths, the surrounding crystal wall slowly began to dissolve at a pace visible to the naked eye, and the flame inside became increasingly active.


    "Hiss!"


    Just as the crystal wall was about to completely disappear, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the Heavenly Flame Milk, its mouth open wide, attempting to swallow the Heavenly Crystal Flame in one gulp.


    "Get lost!"


    With eyes as cold as ice, Blaze Regret extended his finger like a sharp spear and split the shadow into two.


    "Plop!"


    The two halves of the shadow fell to the ground, twitching continuously. The long body wriggled like a worm.


    "A flame snake?"


    Glancing at the ground, Blaze Regret opened his palm, and a powerful suction force pulled the flame like Heavenly Crystal Flame into his hand. Several more flame snakes emerged from the Heavenly Flame Milk, and if Blaze Regret hadn''t acted quickly, the Heavenly Crystal Flame would have been swallowed by one of them.


    "Where''s Red?"


    Stepping back and holding the searing Heavenly Crystal Flame, Blaze Regret spread out his spiritual sense but couldn''t find any trace of Red. He could only sense its general direction through their contract.


    Just as he called out in his mind, he was shocked to see the disheveled Red sprinting toward him from a distance. Behind it, the enormous Flaming Giant Spider was floating in the air, a white thread shooting out from its tail like a pendulum, rapidly closing in on Red.


    "Whoosh!"


    Red darted in front of Blaze Regret like lightning, while the Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes flashed with a sinister smile. Its body slowly descended, blocking the once spacious cave entrance completely.


    "This is going to be exciting..."


    Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat, and a trace of helplessness appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    In a cave filled with crimson light, Blaze Regret held a rising flame in his palm, his expression solemn. Beside him, Red, surrounded by three blazing red streams of light, fiercely stared at the slowly crawling Flaming Giant Spider.


    "Boom!"


    A slender spider leg of the Flaming Giant Spider extended, instantly piercing through a hard rock on the ground.


    "Red, hit its leg!"


    Upon receiving the command, Red''s mouth suddenly opened, and as spiritual energy gathered, it transformed into a scorching sun, which shot towards the Flaming Giant Spider like lightning.


    In an instant, the scorching sun reached its target. However, a look of disdain flashed in the Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes. Its spider leg suddenly swung, and the sun, imbued with astonishing spiritual energy, was directly dispersed. The shockwave from the explosion quickly swept around.


    "Did it work?" Blaze Regret panted, his eyes fixed ahead.


    As the smoke cleared, the Flaming Giant Spider stood there quietly, without a scratch on its body.


    A low level warrior level spiritual skill, even when executed by Red, could not harm a fourth tier mid level warrior level Flaming Giant Spider!


    "Hiss!"


    As if it had lost patience in toying with Blaze Regret and Red, the Flaming Giant Spider moved its eight slender legs, quickly crawling forward with a spine chilling sound.


    While moving, its enormous body suddenly straightened. A white spider web instantly condensed from the glands in its abdomen, enveloping Blaze Regret and Red.


    As the web passed through mid air, strands of flames ignited on the spider silk, emitting a scorching aura.


    Spiritual skill, Fiery Spider Web!


    Licking his lips lightly, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his body suddenly darted sideways. However, the broad Fiery Spider Web instantly wrapped around Red.


    "Roar!"


    The flames on the spider web kept burning Red''s body, causing it to emit cries of agony.


    Seeing Red wrapped in the spider web, the Flaming Giant Spider instantly grew excited. From the glands in its abdomen, another white thread shot out, accurately connecting to the web encasing Red.


    Raising two of its spider legs, the Flaming Giant Spider began to tug and pull at the white thread, dragging the struggling Red closer. Its mouthparts kept moving, as if it was ready to swallow Red whole.


    "Beast, look over here!"


    Seeing that Red was about to be devoured, Blaze Regret became anxious. With a few quick flashes, he appeared behind the spider. His hand, glowing with fiery light, ruthlessly struck out.


    "Hiss!"


    The spider''s abdomen contracted, and with a snap, the thread broke. The Flaming Giant Spider abruptly turned around, its slender legs angrily stabbing towards Blaze Regret''s head from a distance.


    Blaze Regret quickly tapped his foot on the ground, dodging the spider''s legs, which pierced the ground with a sharp whistling sound. The spider withdrew its legs and continued to launch a series of violent stabs at Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 78 - 78 Flaming Giant Spider 3

    Thus, an almost comical scene unfolded in the cave: Blaze Regret continuously dodged while the Flaming Giant Spider frantically chased him, the piercing clangs echoing throughout the cave.


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret''s back slammed heavily against the wall. Finally, under the relentless assault of the Flaming Giant Spider, his retreat was completely cut off. On either side of him, fiery spider webs hung in the air, ready to engulf him in flames should he make a single move.


    The Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes mocked Blaze Regret as it measured him with its slender legs. Suddenly, it made a half moon arc, thrusting straight towards Blaze Regret''s abdomen.


    As the sharp leg came within half an inch of his body, a relaxed smile spread across Blaze Regret''s face.


    "If you don''t want the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk anymore, you can kill me now."


    Hearing this, the Flaming Giant Spider''s pupils contracted. It quickly glanced behind, only to see a blazing sun floating above the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk Pool, seeming as if it could explode at any moment.


    "Humph!"


    Gently stroking the blazing sun with its cat paw, Red raised its head towards the Flaming Giant Spider, its face full of threatening intent.


    The Flaming Giant Spider''s eyes flickered with uncertainty. It couldn''t fathom how Red had managed to break through its fiery web and reach the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk Pool.


    Although the fiery web was a skill it had mastered at the lower worrior level, it was now at the middle warrior level. Even spirit beasts of the same tier would be momentarily trapped in the web, let alone a mere Scorching Flame Cat.


    Glancing at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk Pool, the Flaming Giant Spider felt a sense of helplessness. After pondering for a moment, it reluctantly lowered its sharp legs.


    If it weren''t for the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, it would still be lingering at the lower warrior level. By continuing to consume the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, it could eventually ascend to the higher warrior level. That temptation far outweighed the desire to kill two insects.


    As the shadow before him slowly receded, Blaze Regret smiled calmly. Red''s claws, after being strengthened by the Blazing Blade Flower, could easily tear through even lower warrior level spirit beasts, let alone the Flaming Giant Spider''s hastily formed web.


    Had it been a fully formed fiery web, they would likely have been trapped unless a Master Magi intervened. Clearly, the Flaming Giant Spider had underestimated Red.


    "You, go to the corner," Blaze Regret instructed, pointing to the farthest side.


    A flash of anger crossed the Flaming Giant Spider''s face. It glanced at the Heavenly Flame Crystal Milk, then slowly crawled towards the corner. Each step, it angrily stabbed its legs into the ground, causing the fiery snakes in the pool to retreat in fear.


    "Come here!"


    The Heavenly Crystal Flame in Blaze Regret''s palm flickered gently as he walked to the entrance of the cave and called out.


    "Humph!"


    With a wave of its Cat paw, the blazing sun darted to a wall, blasting a sizable crater into it. Red hopped over to Blaze Regret''s side and bared its teeth at the Flaming Giant Spider in the corner.


    "Let''s go."


    Seeing no signs of the Flaming Giant Spider charging at them, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. If it had fought desperately, it would have been a tough battle for both him and Red, especially since this was the spider''s territory.


    Picking up the rope from the ground, Blaze Regret retraced his steps and quietly stopped at the entrance of the mountain peak.


    "Master Magi, is it alright for Red to refine the Heavenly Crystal Flame here?" Blaze Regret tapped the void realms stone and whispered.


    Like a wisp of white mist, Master Magi floated out and hovered in mid air. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a hand gesture, a golden halo spread in all directions.


    Instantly, everything within the halo''s range, including the scenery within the rocks, was vividly displayed before Blaze Regret.


    Having witnessed Master Magi''s abilities many times, Blaze Regret was no longer surprised by this miraculous scene.


    "There are no spirit beasts here. It''s very safe," Master Magi nodded.


    Blaze Regret slowly crouched down and extended his palm to Red, who lightly touched it with its claws, letting out a delighted whimper.


    Fire attributed spiritual objects naturally have an irresistible attraction to fire attributed spirit beasts.


    "Speaking of which, if Red breaks through, I''ll soon become a spirit warrior too."


    The reflection of Red danced in Blaze Regret''s pupils, and a faint smile appeared on his face.


    Under the lush Nine Mystic Trees, two figures busily worked, carefully picking Nine Mystic leaves and placing them into the void realms stone.


    "Sis, why hasn''t that guy come back yet? Could he have been eaten by a spirit beast?"


    Twiddling a green Nine Mystic leaves between his fingers, Sky Nasrul glanced into the distance and muttered.


    "Did he provoke you that much for you to wish such a fate on him?"


    Sky Diana straightened up, wiping the fragrant sweat from her forehead with her snow white hand, smiling wryly.


    Rolling his eyes, Sky Nasrul was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. With a twist of his hand, he swiftly outlined a summoning array in front of him, and the wind elemental, which had mostly recovered, roared out.


    "Who''s sneaking around? Show yourself!"


    Sky Diana''s gaze also sharpened, and several light green wind blades appeared out of thin air, ready to shoot out at a wave of her wind element hand.


    "Hehe, so it''s the beautiful Miss Sky."


    Two figures slowly emerged from the forest a dozen meters away. The youth in front looked at the serious faced Sky Diana and smiled lightly.


    Standing beside him was none other than Black Metal, with a gloomy and cold expression. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Black Metal, Hat Tu?"


    Black Metal''s brow furrowed, and he sneered, "Black Metal, your Rage Flame Wolf is already crippled. Are you here to die? And you, Hat Tu, don''t tell me you want us to hand over the void realms stone too."

 Chapter 79 - 79 Blaze Regret Vs Hat Tu 1

    Black Metal was about to curse when Hat Tu beside him chuckled, "What needs to be handed over will naturally be handed over. Also, where''s that kid who injured Black Metal''s spirit beast? Why isn''t he here?"


    Sky Nasrul narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Hat Tu, don''t be too arrogant. Even Black Metal''s Rage Flame Wolf was miserably defeated by Blaze Regret''s spirit beast. Where do you get the confidence to make us hand over the void realms stone?"


    With a slight smile still on his face, Hat Tu responded, "I believe I have enough confidence to take you down."


    As Hat Tu finished speaking, a blue summoning array began to weave and outline above his head. The next moment, a pair of silver wings appeared, seemingly embedded in the array.


    "Chirp!"


    A sharp, clear cry rang out, and the silver wings suddenly expanded to several meters in size. A streak of silver light shot out from the array, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Silver Feather Bird, a low level warrior tier Grade?"


    Staring at the silver figure in the sky, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but show a look of astonishment. Warrior tier Grade, this was a true warrior tier Grade spirit beast! Hat Tu''s spirit beast had actually grown to the Warrior tier Grade?


    Sky Diana bit her silver teeth lightly together. Her intuition told her that today''s matter wouldn''t be resolved easily. The appearance of an warrior tier Grade spirit beast was enough to make a group of spirit novice despair!


    "Hat Tu, that kid Blaze Regret''s spiritual sense far surpasses ordinary spirit disciples. He probably sensed you coming and ran off, leaving these two behind," Black Metal said with a sinister expression.


    "Hehe, so that''s it. No wonder I didn''t see him," Hat Tu shook his head disdainfully. "It''s a pity; I wanted to face him. But cowards like that don''t even deserve to fight me, which saves us some trouble."


    "Sky Nasrul, Sky Diana, hand over the void realms stone, or else..."


    As Hat Tu''s sinister gaze swept over the two, it lingered on Sky Diana, a hint of heat and greed flashing briefly.


    "Take the void realms stone and go."


    Sky Diana clenched her delicate hand, channeling all the spiritual power from her spirit portal into the wind elemental. It was clear that she intended to fight to the death to buy Sky Nasrul time to escape.


    "Sis, you go!"


    Sky Nasrul angrily stared at Black Metal and Hat Tu. He clenched his wind element palm, and a whirlwind appeared in mid air, rapidly spinning and sweeping towards the Silver Feather Bird.


    "How touching. Too bad none of you can escape," Hat Tu grinned.


    Looking at the approaching whirlwind, a hint of mockery flashed in the Silver Feather Bird''s small, yellow eyes. It showed no intention of dodging and directly shot down, causing the whirlwind to dissipate on impact.


    "Silver Feather Bird, Thousand Feather Blades!"


    Hat Tu''s voice sounded with a smile. The wings of the Silver Feather Bird trembled, and dozens of sparkling silver feather blades appeared one by one around its body. The sharp edges emitted a sharp sound, piercing through the air.


    Thousand Feather Blades, a low level warrior tier Grade spirit technique. It was said that at its pinnacle, it could transform into thousands of blades, even turning a warrior level spirit beast into a honeycomb! What''s more terrifying was that these feather blades could gather together, greatly increasing their destructive power.


    "Crack! Crack!"


    As the wings of the Silver Feather Bird flapped, the dozens of silver feather blades quickly aligned themselves, eventually forming a crescent moon blade, slashing through the air!


    "Swish!"


    The crescent moon blade approached at an extremely fast speed. Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul knew they couldn''t resist it, but they still desperately activated the spiritual power within their bodies, attempting to withstand this attack.


    As members of the Sky family, they had their pride. The Hat family was just an insignificant small clan. If they were to flee in front of Hat Tu, not only would they be disgraced, but the Sky family would also become a laughingstock in Veloria City!


    In mid air, the wind blades shot out by the wind element were completely shattered.


    Despair appeared in their beautiful eyes. Sky Diana bit her lip tightly, and a dazzling bloodstain appeared on it.


    The crescent moon blade was now right in front of them...


    "Clang!"


    However, just at the moment when the blade was about to fall on Sky Diana''s forehead, everyone in the field could hear a clear sound of metal clashing, resounding through the air.


    "Clang..."


    A fiery red figure shot out from behind Sky Diana, flames burning on its sharp claws. It directly slapped the crescent moon blade, then slid down along the inner side of the blade. A string of dazzling sparks splattered wildly as the claws moved.


    Finally, the crescent moon blade was knocked into the air. When it reached halfway, it burst open with a loud bang, once again transforming into silver feather blades, which then dissipated.


    "Scorching Flame Cat, Blaze Regret?"


    Black Metal''s eyelids twitched, and then he burst into laughter: "You cowardly soft egg, you dare to show up. Very well, today I''ll send you on your way too."


    "It seems like today is my lucky day. Mat Kun said that whoever can take care of you all at once will be rewarded with a medium level warrior Tier Grade spirit crystal." Hat Tu narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled.


    "For the sake of my spirit crystal, I have no choice but to sacrifice you all and die together!"


    As Hat Tu''s words reached the second half, his voice suddenly turned ferocious. Then, a faint blue light wrapped around his palm.


    "Swoosh!"


    The Silver Feather Bird''s figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Red. Silver light filled its curved claws.


    Looking at the scene before him, a smile involuntarily appeared on Hat Tu''s face. The Silver Feather Bird''s instant teleportation spirit technique was called Flash Assault, and the subsequent spirit technique was Silver Light Strike, which greatly increased the sharpness of its claws.

 Chapter 80 - 80 Blaze Regret Vs Hat Tu 2

    Under the state of Flash Assault, the Silver Light Strike was enough to instantly kill a spirit beast of the same level!


    "Die, die!"


    For Black Metal, who was filled with anger towards the severely injured Scorching Flame Cat, he wished to devour it alive. So when he saw the Silver Feather Bird about to tear its body apart, Black Metal naturally felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.


    However, the next scene left everyone stunned.


    Only to see the Scorching Flame Cat lazily yawned, then turned around and lightly swept its cat tail, causing the aggressively approaching Silver Feather Bird to instantly drop its claws.


    "Snap!"


    The Silver Feather Bird, in a dive, crashed heavily into the ground under the influence of inertia, splattering blood and leaving a long bloodstain.


    For a moment, except for the intermittent wailing of the Silver Feather Bird, the entire forest fell into a brief silence.


    "This... this must be fake."


    Sky Nasrul''s eyes were dazed. After a long moment, he finally snapped out of his shock, looking at Blaze Regret who was walking over slowly, his expression extremely complex.


    "Are you alright?" Blaze Regret smiled at Sky Diana.


    "Thank you." Sky Diana gave a bitter smile, lightly pursing her lips.


    With her eyesight, it wasn''t difficult to see that the little Scorching Flame Cat sitting there shaking its small ears had already reached the high level warrior Grade.


    But how could this be possible!


    Just a few hours ago, this Scorching Flame Cat was merely at the high level Novice grade, so how did it suddenly become high level warrior tier grade!


    Not only Sky Diana, but Hat Tu and Black Metal were also shocked. Especially the former, looking at the struggling Silver Feather Bird trying to fly, anger surged in his eyes. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But thinking of the gap between the two, that anger quickly turned into fear.


    "I heard you were looking for me?" Blaze Regret smiled at Hat Tu.


    "This is a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding." Cold sweat dripped from Ht Tu''s forehead. How could he have known that Blaze Regret''s spirit beast was actually high level warrior tier Grade?


    Not long ago, he discovered a Silver Light Grass in the forest. After hesitating for a while, he let the Silver Feather Bird swallow it.


    This Silver Light Grass indeed allowed the Silver Feather Bird to successfully break through to the warrior tier Grade, but since its original rank was only mid level novice Grade, even after advancing to the warrior Grade, it remained at the lowest tier.


    Yet, even the weakest warrior tier Grade spirit beast was enough to sweep through the teams participating in this year''s Angsana Pavilion Festival. Who could have anticipated such a sudden twist!


    "Black Metal, I already let you go once, but why didn''t you cherish it?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. The half sitting Scorching Flame cat immediately turned around, its raised tail becoming as sharp as a blade, with a fiery red glow flowing along its edge.


    The Scorching Flame Cat''s high level warrior tier Grade spirit skill, Tail Blade, could even cleave through hard rock in an instant!


    It was this very skill that had effortlessly separated the Silver Feather Bird''s talons just moments ago.


    "Put down the void Realm Stone, and you can withdraw from this Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    With no intention of wasting words, the smile on Blaze Regret''s face grew extremely cold, his icy voice slowly emanating.


    "Blaze Regret, this is the void Realm Stone from the Batas Shop. Do you dare to take it?"


    Hat Tu, whose heart was filled with despair the moment the Silver Feather Bird was crippled, knew their participation in the Angsana Pavilion Festival was over. Yet, he still tried to threaten Blaze Regret with a fierce facade, knowing well that he couldn''t possibly afford an void Realm Stone himself. The one tied at his waist was borrowed from Mat Kun, the owner of the Batas Shop!


    Mat Kun was a genuine spirit Lord level expert. Using his name to pressure Blaze Regret and vent his frustration, Hat Tu was more than willing to try.


    However, Blaze Regret merely chuckled lightly: "Mat Kun, huh? Then you can trouble yourself to go out and inform him that this Void Realm Stone now belongs to the Blaze family."


    "You¡­"


    Hat Tu glared angrily at Blaze Regret, but upon seeing the Scorching Flame Cat, which had jumped next to the Silver Feather Bird and was continuously brandishing its tail blade near the bird''s body, he couldn''t help but shudder. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand, and the Void Realm Stone immediately fell into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "You can leave now."


    As his spiritual sense probed into the void Realm Stone and saw it filled to the brim with medicinal herbs, Blaze Regret nodded in satisfaction.


    "Do we really have to go?" Black Metal asked, unwillingly looking at Hat Tu.


    Taking the severely injured Silver Feather Bird into his spirit portal, Hat Tu glared at Black Metal with anger, not even in the mood to speak to him, and directly headed towards the exit of the Black Forest.


    If it weren''t for this guy, his Silver Feather Bird wouldn''t have had to suffer such a calamity!


    "Stop. Did I say you could leave?"


    Just as Black Metal was about to follow Hat Tu, Blaze Regret''s smiling voice suddenly rang out.


    Upon hearing this, Black Metal''s body instantly stiffened. Even if the Rage Flame Wolf was at its peak, it wouldn''t stand a chance against Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat, let alone now when it was severely injured!


    With a slight grin, Blaze Regret gently stroked the void Realm Stone, and a sturdy rope appeared in his hand.


    "What are you planning to do?" Black Metal took several steps back, looking at the slowly approaching Blaze Regret with fear, his voice trembling.


    "I was just thinking, if I tied your legs with this rope and hung you upside down from a tree, how long would you last?" Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.

 Chapter 81 - 81 Extreme Ice Eagle 1

    If he hadn''t arrived in time, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul would have likely met their end under the Silver Feather Bird''s talons, and the one responsible for this was none other than Black Metal.


    "Are you insane? This is murder!" Black Metal''s heart was filled with regret. If he had known it would come to this, he would never have called Hat Tu for revenge, even if it killed him!


    "So what?" Blaze Regret tightened the rope, satisfied that it was as sturdy as ever, and began to move it towards Black Metal.


    Black Metal''s throat moved as he gulped, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. If he were really hung upside down from a tree, no one in the Black Forest would find him, and there were countless ferocious spirit beasts here!


    "Wait a minute!"


    Just as the rope was about to fall onto him, Black Metal hurriedly shouted, "I have a detailed map of the Azure Dust Fruit. If you let me go, I''ll give you this map!"


    After speaking, Black Metal felt his heart bleed a little. He had found this map beside a skeleton, and despite the long exposure to the elements, it remained remarkably intact.


    "Azure Dust Fruit?"


    Sky Diana''s bright eyes flashed. This was one of the spiritual herbs listed by Alif Azlin.


    The Azure Dust Fruit, a second grade spiritual herb, was ineffective on spirit beasts but could purify the spiritual power within a spirit master, making it extremely rare and only found in the Black Forest.


    Blaze Regret raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Black Metal with surprise. While marveling at Black Metal''s luck, he unceremoniously extended his hand.


    "Hand it over."


    Good luck amounts to nothing without the strength to maintain it!


    Reluctantly, Black Metal reached into the inner side of his robe and drew out a yellowed piece of paper, placing it unwillingly into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "You can go now."


    Blaze Regret threw out a quick remark and turned away decisively, as if he were shooing away an insignificant bug.


    A trace of venom flashed in Black Metal''s eyes as he chased after Hat Tu in the direction he had left, but a hint of scheme glimmered in his downcast gaze. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Blaze Regret, at least I managed to keep my life, while all of you will perish in this forest."


    "Is this where the traces of the Azure Dust Fruit are recorded?"


    Looking at the yellowed paper that Blaze Regret spread out, Sky Diana blinked her beautiful eyes gently.


    On the list given by Alif Azlin, there were six first grade spiritual herbs, but only this Azure Dust Fruit among the second grade herbs. This meant that as long as they could get their hands on the Azure Dust Fruit, they would be guaranteed to win the Angsana Pavillion Festival this time.


    "Yes, it should undoubtedly be the Azure Dust Fruit. However, the small blue dot seems to represent something," Blaze Regret nodded slightly, his brow furrowed.


    "Who cares what it is? We''ll know when we get there," Sky Nasrul said excitedly.


    After pondering for a while, Blaze Regret finally gave up studying the map, but that small blue dot remained like a needle in his heart.


    By now, dusk had fallen. After resting for a night, they quickly headed towards the place marked on the map.


    Walking through the quiet and dark forest, a faint white mist swirled around their bodies. Apart from the occasional sound of branches breaking, the only sound was their light footsteps.


    "Swish!"


    A red light flashed, and a massive lava wolf fell to the ground with a wail.


    "A second tier low level warrior tier grade lava wolf."


    While Red dug out its spirit core, Blaze Regret murmured. It seemed that the closer they got to that place, the stronger the spirit beasts they encountered became.


    "We''re almost there," Sky Nasrul muttered, wiping the sweat from his forehead.


    Blaze Regret raised his face, squinting as he looked at the faintly visible outline of the mountain peak in the distance.


    As the group passed through the forest, their view suddenly broadened. A towering mountain peak appeared clearly in their sight.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes slowly swept across the mountain peak, suddenly freezing on a protruding rock. There, a vibrant green vine was growing, with faint white specks among its leaves.


    "That should be the Azure Dust Fruit, right?"


    Rubbing his hands, Sky Nasrul''s face showed a trace of excitement. He immediately released the wind element, intending to use it to retrieve the vine.


    "Wait."


    Blaze Regret suddenly spoke up.


    "What''s wrong?" Sky Nasrul looked at Blaze Regret in confusion. The wind elemental beside him obediently halted its movement.


    "Don''t you find it strange? Although the Azure Dust Fruit has obvious effects on spirit masters, that doesn''t mean it has no effect on spirit beasts. So how has this Nine Dust Vine been preserved?" Blaze Regret said slowly.


    The Nine Dust Vine is where the Azure Dust Fruit grows.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Nasrul''s face turned pale. In his excitement, he hadn''t thought deeply about it. If Blaze Regret was right, there must be some terrifying presence nearby that kept the spirit beasts from devouring the Azure Dust Fruit!


    Hesitating for a moment, Blaze Regret scanned the surroundings before nodding at Red.


    "Arrooo~"


    Red dashed to the foot of the mountain, its claws extending and embedding deeply into the rock as it swiftly climbed upwards.


    Despite climbing several dozen feet, no spirit beast appeared to hinder Red''s ascent.


    This scene did not ease Blaze Regret''s concerns. Instead, it made his frown deepen further.


    "Gulp!"


    Sure enough, as Red reached the Nine Dust Vine, an angry screech echoed from the mountain peak, causing the entire mountain''s temperature to plummet significantly.


    Immediately, a blue figure shot down from the summit. As it descended rapidly, dazzling ice crystals, carrying a chilling cold, fell between heaven and earth.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly as he finally understood what that blue speck represented.


    A high ranking warrior tier level spirit beast, an Extreme Ice Eagle!

 Chapter 82 - 82 Extreme Ice Eagle 2

    "A second rank high ranking warrior tier level Extreme Ice Eagle?"


    Reflecting the descending blue figure in his eyes, Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but exclaim in shock.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Extreme Ice Eagle, plummeting like a meteor, fixed its sharp gaze on the small figure on the cliffside. Its beak opened, and a beam of icy light instantly shot out.


    "Boom!"


    Red released its grip, falling briefly before grabbing onto another rock crevice. The icy beam swept across the cliffside, blossoming like an ice flower.


    Cold wind mixed with ice shards slapped against Red''s face, igniting a fierce fighting spirit in its eyes.


    Seeing Red''s gaze, the Extreme Ice Eagle''s expression turned furious. In its perception, the Scorching Flame Cat was nothing more than a tiny ant, yet it dared to look at it with such defiance.


    With a sudden flap of its icy wings, the Extreme Ice Eagle flew towards Red on the cliffside, its claws instantly enveloped in cold, hard ice that shimmered with a frosty glow.


    "Arrooo!"


    Feeling the cold wind rushing towards it, Red unapologetically swung its sharp claws, clashing directly with the Extreme Ice Eagle. The immense force transmitted through the impact made its Cat paws go numb and nearly caused it to fall. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This terrain offered it no advantage whatsoever.


    After a solid collision, the Extreme Ice Eagle retreated into mid air. A layer of solid ice spread along its right wing, and moments later, its broad ice wing, sharp as an icy blade and carrying a bone chilling cold, once again slashed fiercely towards Red.


    Spirit Skill: Cold Wing Blade!


    Watching the battle above, Blaze Regret''s face grew tense, his nerves stretched to the limit.


    The terrain where Red stood was extremely perilous. If the Extreme Ice Eagle succeeded, Red could likely fall directly down, and the Scorching Flame Cat in mid air would be no different from a helpless fish to the eagle!


    The blazing sun struck the Extreme Ice Eagle''s wing blade, causing its body to momentarily stall before the sharp wing blade split it in two, exploding behind the eagle.


    "Boom!"


    The Extreme Ice Eagle''s wing blade slashed into the cliffside like lightning, instantly filling the air with dust and obscuring the view.


    "No way..."


    Sky Nasrul stared wide eyed in disbelief. Could it be that Blaze Regret''s Scorching Flame Cat was killed in one strike by the Extreme Ice Eagle?


    "Whoosh!"


    As the smoke cleared, a massive crack appeared where the Extreme Ice Eagle had struck, but there was no trace of blood.


    Everyone''s attention shifted, and they saw Red clinging tightly to the back of the circling Extreme Ice Eagle. Its sharp claws were deeply embedded, causing the eagle to emit continuous angry screeches.


    "Awooo!"


    Tossed around by the Extreme Ice Eagle, Red seemed to grow angrier. Its tail lifted slightly and instantly became razor sharp. Amidst the eagle''s thrashing, Red''s tail violently slashed downward.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of ice shattering echoed as a bloodline appeared on the Extreme Ice Eagle''s back. A trickle of crimson blood seeped along its feathers, intermittently dripping down.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Extreme Ice Eagle''s intelligence wasn''t high. If it had continued to fly and launch long range attacks, Red would have been in grave danger. The close range strike just now had given Red the perfect opportunity to counterattack.


    Red''s sharp claws gripped tightly onto the eagle''s body, while its tail blade slashed down repeatedly, causing blood to rain down.


    Fire based attacks are extremely lethal to ice type spirit beasts.


    "Is it going to succeed?"


    Everyone stared unblinkingly at the sky, a glimmer of hope appearing in their hearts.


    The Extreme Ice Eagle hovering in mid air finally could no longer endure the pain in its back. With a swift turn, it crashed hard against the mountainside, attempting to crush the Scorching Flame cat into pulp.


    As shards of ice flew, the claws of the Scorching flame cat dug fiercely into the rock, while its sharp tail blade sliced through the air in a fiery arc, slashing at the ice wings of the Extreme Ice Eagle.


    "Crack!"


    With the sound of shattering, the ice wings of the Extreme Ice Eagle were cut in half. Amidst a painful wail, its body plummeted towards the ground.


    "Blaze Regret, extract the spirit core of the Extreme Ice Eagle. It will be useful later."


    At this moment, Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    With a slight flicker in his eyes, Blaze Regret subtly nodded. Although he didn''t know what Master Magi intended to do, he knew that it would definitely benefit him.


    Leaping down from the peak, the Scorching flame cat''s claws spread open, and red flames emanated as it slowly approached the Extreme Ice Eagle.


    "Roar!"


    Coldly watching the dying struggle of the Extreme Ice Eagle, the Scorching flame cat''s claws, quick as lightning, stabbed violently towards its head. If this strike landed, it would surely pierce a bloody hole through the Extreme Ice Eagle''s head!


    However, just as the Scorching flame Cat''s fiery claws were about to touch the Extreme Ice Eagle''s head, a fierce gust of wind suddenly burst out from the ground, aiming at its abdomen.


    It was a withered yellow tree branch, exuding an extremely terrifying aura. If it struck, the Scorching flame Cat would certainly be splattered with blood on the spot.


    "Step back. You are no match for this Extreme Ice Eagle. If you leave now, I will not attack you during the Angsana Pavilion Festival."


    Hearing the voice that reached his ears, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "Snow Amar?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s faces changed slightly as they looked at the figure emerging from behind.


    With a faint smile, Snow Amar walked over, gently waved his hand, and three gray spirit cores fell in front of Blaze Regret. Each spirit core emitted the aura of a mid level warrior.


    "What do you mean by this?" Blaze Regret asked coldly, staring at Snow Amar.

 Chapter 83 - 83 Blue Flame Demon Cat 1 (Bonus)

    "Just a minor skirmish. The three fools from the Met family had just broken through to become spirit warriors, yet they dared to come and trouble me. I had no choice but to reluctantly deal with them," Snow Amar said with a smile, lightly stroking his face. However, his smile was filled with undisguised menace.


    "Three spirit warriors?"


    Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s pupils slightly contracted, seemingly in disbelief. The three brothers from the Met family had lingered at the ninth level of spirit novice for a long time, preparing for this Angsana Pavilion Festival. Their breakthrough here made sense.


    But Snow Amar claimed he had single handedly taken down all three of them!


    Those were three genuine mid level warrior tier spirit beasts!


    "You took the Restrained Qi Pill?"


    After a moment of silence, Blaze Regret slowly spoke.


    With his sharp eyes, he naturally noticed that Snow Amar was not just newly promoted but was a true third level spirit warrior!


    "That''s right." Sky Amar nodded with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul turned pale.


    The Restrained Qi Pill could forcibly seal a spirit master''s spirit portal, lowering their aura. However, its side effects were severe, after using it, the spirit portal couldn''t absorb spiritual energy for a month. This meant Snow Amar would remain a third level spirit warrior during this time, unable to break through.


    "That''s cheating!" Sky Nasrul gritted his teeth.


    "It seems the rules don''t prohibit the use of the Restrained Qi Pill, do they?"


    Greedily eyeing the Nine Dust Vine on the mountain wall, Snow Amar looked at Blaze Regret with a faint smile. "By the way, hand over the Ice Lotus Master''s map as well, and you can leave. I''m in a good mood today and don''t want to kill anyone, so consider yourselves lucky."


    It was clear that Snow Amar did not regard Blaze Regret and his companions as a threat.


    Although the Scorching Flame Cat Beast was currently a high level warrior tier spirit beast, it didn''t matter. His Withered Wood Demon was already a third level mid level warrior tier spirit beast!


    If he wasn''t eager to obtain the Azure Dust Fruit sooner, he would have commanded the Withered Wood Demon to kill all three of them outright instead of wasting words on these ants.


    "What if I refuse?" Blaze Regret''s eyes gradually became sharp.


    "You dare defy my commands?" Snow Amar stared coldly at Blaze Regret, a hint of murderous intent in his voice.


    He had thought that after revealing his true strength, Blaze Regret and the others would flee in panic. But to his surprise, Blaze Regret not only didn''t run but also dared to confront him head on!


    "What kind of thing are you to give orders?"


    With a slight lift of his eyelids, Blaze Regret looked at the cold faced Snow Amar with a mocking smile on his lips. "Get lost!"


    "Ungrateful wretch!"


    Snow Amar''s face turned grim. Instantly, a dozen withered branches shot out from the soil around him, writhing like the tentacles of an octopus.


    Amid a rustling sound, the Withered Wood Demon emerged from the ground, its hollow eye sockets staring indifferently at the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast trying to escape.


    "Swish!"


    In the next moment, a dozen withered branches from the Withered Wood Demon plunged deeply into the ground and then suddenly pierced through the body of the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast, causing blood to spurt out in all directions.


    With its mouth slightly open, the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast convulsed briefly before collapsing powerlessly, with a large portion of the ground beneath it stained red with blood.


    From a distance, the branches protruding through the Extreme Ice Eagle Beast''s body looked like two ghastly claws spread wide. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Now, it''s your turn."


    With Snow Amar''s cold voice, the branches retracted into the ground and then reappeared in front of the Withered Wood Demon. As they rapidly moved, they intertwined densely, spreading toward the Scorching Flame Cat Beast.


    Spirit Technique: Branch Entangle!


    Branch Entangle, one of the signature spirit techniques of the Withered Wood Demon, could bind enemies and then collaborate with the demon''s other techniques to kill them in one move.


    "Swish!"


    The Withered Wood Demon was fast, but the Scorching Flame Cat Beast was even faster. In just a few flickers, it moved out of the range of the Withered Wood Demon''s branches, leaving the ground punctured by the yellowed branches, a testament to the narrow escape.


    "Do you think you can get away? Withered Wood Demon, Withered Spike!"


    A branch from the Withered Wood Demon lifted, and three sharp spikes slowly emerged from it. Then, they rapidly spun and shot toward the Scorching Flame Cat Beast with a piercing whistle.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    The Scorching Flame Cat Beast''s tail flicked up and swung like a blade, deflecting the three spikes, which were then embedded in the ground at an angle.


    "Boom!"


    At that moment, branches whizzed out from around the Scorching Flame Cat Beast, forming a circular fence like structure that trapped it within.


    "Blaze Regret, does my Withered Spike Formation catch your eye?"


    Watching the Scorching Flame Cat Beast futilely crash against the branches, unable to escape, a chilling smile appeared on Snow Amar''s face.


    "Since you seek death, I can only oblige you. Withered Wood Demon, finish it off!"


    "Roar!"


    Surrounded by tree roots, the Scorching Flame Cat''s body was ablaze, fiercely crashing against the roots. A series of dull thuds echoed continuously.


    However, the Withered Wood Demon''s roots were the hardest part of its body. Even with Scorching Flame Cat using its tail blade in Flame Breath mode, it couldn''t break through the Withered Wood Demon''s thorny array in a short time.


    "Stop struggling. Just accept your death."


    Snow Amar''s disdainful voice rang out. Dozens of the Withered Wood Demon''s branches instantly extended, like tentacles, sweeping above Scorching Flame Cat. With a piercing wind, they violently stabbed down like lightning.


    Seeing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul looked utterly bleak.

 Chapter 84 - 84 Blue Flame Demon Cat 2

    Earlier, they had witnessed how sharp the Withered Wood Demon''s branches were, capable of piercing through the hard ice armor of the Extreme Ice Eagle. Let alone the Scorching Flame Cat, which focused on attack and speed.


    "Bang!"


    The branches continuously whistled down, and dust instantly shrouded the entire thorny array, obscuring the scene inside.


    Snow Amar''s lips curled into a faint smile.


    An alchemist, after all, can only refine pills. When it comes to real life and death combat, killing them is as easy as killing a chicken.


    However, as the dust settled, the expected scene of blood splattering did not appear. Instead, a Blue red flame shield suddenly appeared around Scorching Flame Cat. The sharp branches were stuck at the edge of the shield, unable to advance an inch.


    Seeing this incredible scene, the smile on Snow Amar''s face froze.


    "Did you really think my life bound spirit beast only had this much power?"


    As Blaze Regret''s faint laughter fell, the Blue red shield suddenly shattered, along with the long branches of the Withered Wood Demon. The airwaves, mixed with splintered wood, swept outward.


    "Roar!"


    A Blue red Cat paw stepped lightly out of the airwaves, and a bewitching figure appeared under the astonished gazes of the onlookers. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At this moment, Scorching Flame Cat''s body was over a meter long, slender and elegant. Its Blue red fur swayed gently in the wind, but the most striking feature was its Blue eyes, which exuded an enchanting allure mixed with cold indifference.


    "This... this isn''t the Scorching Flame Cat!" Sky Nasrul swallowed hard and spoke slowly.


    Beside him, Sky Diana''s breathing was slightly rapid. The pressure emanating from Scorching Flame Cat now was far beyond what it had been before!


    "What kind of spirit beast is this?" Snow Amar stared intently at the Blue red figure, momentarily losing his composure.


    He had been so close, so close to winning. What on earth was this damned thing?


    Blaze Regret looked calmly at Scorching Flame Cat and smiled faintly.


    Scorching Flame Cat, having refined the Heavenly Crystal Fire, managed to draw out a flame hidden within its body. That flame was the very essence detected by Blaze Regret''s spirit sense in the spirit measuring orb.


    With the assistance of Master Magi, Scorching Flame Cat had refined that flame, causing it to mutate once again into the extremely rare Blue Flame Demon Cat!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. It couldn''t be said that it mutated again; Red was originally a high level novice tier grade Scorching Flame Cat. Somehow, Blaze Regret''s father had forcibly suppressed it to a low level Novive tier grade, and it appeared in the form of a Flame Cat.


    "Now, what do you think your chances of winning are?" Blaze Regret asked softly, his eyes slightly shifting to the somewhat twisted expression on Snow Amar''s face.


    "Hmph, it''s just a change in appearance. A first tier high level warrior Tier grade spirit beast is still trash in front of my Withered Wood Demon!" Snow Amar roared angrily, "Withered Wood Demon, use Leaf Light and finish it in one move!"


    "Boom!"


    The broken branches of the Withered Wood Demon retracted and deeply embedded themselves in the ground. Threads of faint green spiritual energy, visible to the naked eye, flowed along the branches'' veins into its body.


    As the spiritual energy surged in, deep green leaves began to emerge on its withered body, radiating an immense vitality.


    "Leaf Light, is it?" Blaze Regret''s pitch black eyes narrowed slightly.


    Pale green spiritual energy gathered in front of the Withered Tree Demon, eventually forming a beam of green light that shot out forcefully.


    The moment the beam was released, the Withered Tree Demon''s aura instantly weakened. This spiritual technique required an immense amount of spiritual energy, but its power was equally formidable.


    Red lifted its head, its bewitching eyes reflecting the incoming beam of light without a trace of fear. Instead, the spiritual energy within its body surged even more violently.


    "Swish!"


    Red crouched low, then suddenly leaped up. Blue red spiritual energy emanated from its body, converging in front of it and condensing into three balls of Blue fire in an instant.


    The Blue fire quietly rotated, each ball containing spiritual energy far stronger than that of the blazing sun!


    Blue Flame Demon Fire, a spiritual technique comprehended by the Blue Flame Demon Cat upon breaking through to the warrior tier Grade, allowed its body to temporarily levitate, creating devastating attacks on its enemies!


    "Whoosh!"


    The rotation speed of the three balls of Blue fire suddenly increased. Red''s figure shot out like a bolt, with Blue red spiritual energy surging around it. A tail of light trailed behind it, the speed astonishingly fast.


    Below the towering mountain peaks, two differently colored streaks of light swiftly passed by, colliding fiercely.


    "Boom!"


    A tremendous impact sound echoed, and an invisible shockwave instantly swept out, creating a sizable crater in the ground within a radius of several dozen meters.


    "Is it dead?" Snow Amar''s eyes turned sinister.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the next moment, a streak of Blue red light shot out from the point of impact, causing Snow Amar''s expression to become incredibly grim.


    The three balls of Blue fire in front of Red had shrunk considerably due to the earlier expenditure, but they were more than enough to deal with the weakened Withered Tree Demon.


    As expected, Red instantly pierced through the trunk of the Withered Tree Demon. When it landed on the ground, the eerie Blue flames ignited the large hole in the demon''s abdomen, making it let out a horrid roar.


    "Blaze Regret, stop right there!" Snow Amar''s face twisted as he glared at Blaze Regret, threatening him.


    "Oh."


    Blaze Regret nodded, and Red turned around, its claws wrapped in Blue red flames, slashing out. In the next moment, the Withered Tree Demon''s body was split in two; the lower half remained standing while the upper half slowly slid down, lifeless.


    "You dare court death!"


    Snow Amar lunged at Blaze Regret like a madman, but the latter didn''t even glance at him. With a light wave of Blaze Regret''s hand, Snow Amar''s body was sent flying backward. A snapping sound that only he could hear echoed in his mind.

 Chapter 85 - 85 The Second Spirit Beast 1

    "You dared to destroy my spirit portal..."


    Feeling the emptiness of his spiritual energy within, Snow Amar lay on the ground in a daze, his lips trembling incessantly.


    A spiritual master with a destroyed spirit portal would find it nearly impossible to repair without incurring an enormous cost, a cost that even the lifetime earnings of a Spirit Lord master couldn''t cover, let alone a small family like the Snow family.


    Seeing Snow Amar''s ashen face, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul couldn''t help but feel a sense of satisfaction rather than sympathy.


    This guy had shown no remorse after killing the three spirit beasts of the Met family brothers. Now, having his spirit portal destroyed was nothing short of poetic justice.


    "Ugh!"


    Happily running towards Blaze Regret, Red''s body transformed back to the size of a Scorching Flame Cat before leaping directly onto Blaze Regret''s shoulder.


    Feeling appreciative of the convenience of the Bewitching Cat''s spirit technique, Blaze Regret walked over to the Extreme Ice Eagle and, following Master Magi''s instructions, extracted its spirit core.


    In mid air, a wind elemental swirled a long vine, whistling downwards. With a gentle toss, the vine, bearing nine Azure Dust fruits, landed in Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "These Azure Dust Fruits don''t all need to be handed over to the Angsana Pavilion, right?" Sky Nasrul stared intently at the vine, his eyes burning with desire.


    A Nine Dust Vine can bear up to nine Azure Dust Fruits. Once the fruits ripen, the vine will wither and lose its vitality. Moreover, the Nine Dust Vine has very stringent growth requirements. After withering in one year, a new vine will grow in the same place the next year. Transplanting it elsewhere is futile, as it won''t survive.


    Thus, whenever Azure Dust Fruits appear in the outside world, they inevitably spark fierce competition due to their immense value to spirit masters.


    "You''ve seen the situation. Just giving the Angsana Pavilion one fruit will guarantee our win in this year''s Angsana Pavilion Festival." Blaze Regret glanced at the dazed Snow Amar lying on the ground and smiled faintly.


    "But the Azure Dust Fruit is a key requirement for the Angsana Pavilion. Will they be unhappy if we don''t give them more?" Sky Diana asked worriedly.


    "We risked our lives for these. It''s not up to the Angsana Pavilion to decide how we distribute them. Besides, they didn''t specify that we must obtain Azure Dust Fruits. Giving them one is a favor; not giving is our right," Blaze Regret said firmly.


    "Exactly, Brother Blaze is right." sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sky Nasrul, unable to contain his joy, accepted a Azure Dust Fruit from Blaze Regret. Seeing this, Sky Diana could only smile wryly and take one as well.


    Without a second thought, Blaze Regret tossed the remaining fruits into the Void Realm Stone, meaning six Azure Dust Fruits belonged to him. This wasn''t stinginess; although Azure Dust Fruits are rare, a Spirit novice can only refine one. More than that, and they can''t absorb it. As for him, he could refine all six without any concerns.


    The number needed by a Spirit warrior differs from that of a Spirit novice.


    "By the way, about this map..."


    As if he finally remembered something, Blaze Regret took out the map he had acquired from the Angsana Auction House from the Void Realm Stone. After studying it for a while, his brows furrowed slightly.


    "Where exactly does this map point to? It doesn''t seem like this place is in the Black Forest."


    Sky Nasrul, holding the fragrant Azure Dust Fruit, leaned in and shameles began examining the map as well.


    Sky Diana blinked her beautiful eyes and, after a moment, cautiously said, "Could it be that the map is upside down?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was taken aback. Then, he slapped his forehead in frustration and flipped the map over.


    Sure enough, the rivers from before instantly turned into mountain peaks, and those peaks transformed back into rivers. The described scene was indeed the place where they currently stood!


    "Damn, sis, you''re amazing," Sky Nasrul said, staring at Sky Diana in astonishment.


    "Actually, from where I was standing opposite you, I saw the correct map," Sky Diana said, a bit embarrassed.


    "Let''s go check it out together."


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret put the map back into the Void Realm Stone and then slowly walked towards the other side of the mountain.


    "He actually wants us to go with him?" Sky Nasrul was somewhat shocked. This was left by the Ice Lotus Sage, yet Blaze Regret wasn''t afraid they''d become greedy and turn against him?


    Sky Diana, however, just smiled faintly and chased after Blaze Regret.


    Not that they wouldn''t harbor any greed, but even if they did, what could they do? With Blaze Regret''s strength, killing them would be a piece of cake.


    Watching their backs, Snow Amar struggled to move but didn''t even have the strength to sit up. The shattering of his spirit portal was far worse than breaking a few ribs.


    At that moment, a palm sized mottled spider suddenly crawled out from the grass, each of its legs brimming with venom that made one''s scalp tingle.


    "No... don''t come any closer!"


    The mottled spider crawled closer and closer, causing Snow Amar to scream in horror. His once handsome face twisted grotesquely in fear.


    "Why is it so cold here?" Sky Nasrul, shivering slightly, hugged himself as they walked at the foot of the mountain, his teeth chattering a bit.


    "It seems like we''re mostly in the right place," Blaze Regret said, pursing his lips. He then instructed Red to jump down. In its Blue Flame Demon Cat form, Red used its tail blade to continuously chisel away at the mountain wall.


    "Clang!"


    The rock easily shattered, but where the rock broke, it suddenly revealed a bit of icy blue color. As the tail blade struck it, it left only a white mark, without even dislodging a single ice chip.


    "Ice layer?" Both Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s eyelids twitched.


    At this point, they were a hundred percent certain that the Ice Lotus Sage had a significant connection to this place!

 Chapter 86 - 86: Chpater 86 The Second Spirit Beast 2

    "Whoosh!"


    Unwilling to give up, Red charged at the ice again, cloaked in its flame aura with three orbs of demonic fire spinning around it. It crashed into the ice fiercely, but still, no mark was left on the hard ice.


    "It''s that tough?" Blaze Regret was a bit speechless. Without using its flame aura, Red''s Blue Flame Demon Cat Fire could easily pierce through the body of a Withered Wood Demon. Although part of that was due to fire type spirit beasts restraining wood type spirit beasts, fire also has a strong restraining effect on ice.


    "Place your hand on it," Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    With lips gently pressed together, Blaze Regret opened his right hand and slowly touched the ice layer. The cold temperature made him shiver, and instinctively, a scorching flame surged from his palm.


    "Sizzle!"


    In an instant, the flame turned golden, dazzlingly brilliant. However, from Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul''s perspective, it still appeared as an ordinary flame.


    "It''s melting?" Sky Nasrul''s eyes widened in disbelief.


    The ice in front of Blaze Regret''s palm melted quickly, and the melting edges rapidly spread around. Soon, an icy passage appeared before everyone.


    "Hehe, it seems that pill Fire can melt this ice," Blaze Regret said with a subtle smile.


    Upon hearing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul nodded. However, as the latter was about to bravely step inside, the frigid air that emanated from within made him instantly recoil.


    "Damn, it''s impossible for anyone to stay in here," Blaze Regret said, his lips turning Blue, as if he had been frozen for hours in an ice cellar in just the blink of an eye.


    "You two find a safe place outside to refine the Azure Dust Fruit. I''ll go in and take a look," Blaze Regret said to them, then raised a flame shield and walked in.


    Seeing this, Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul could only nod helplessly. Although they were very curious, their lives were more important.


    Inside the icy passage, Master Magi used Blaze Regret''s spiritual power to continuously emit flames, melting the ice in front of him.


    "Young one, it looks like your second spirit beast might be coming soon," Master Magi suddenly said with a grin, uttering a statement that left Blaze Regret completely puzzled.


    "Could it be that this land of ice harbors some kind of rare fire attribute spirit beast?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi ahead of him, somewhat puzzled.


    "Hehe."


    Master Magi chuckled softly and said leisurely, "Why limit yourself to spirit beasts of the same attribute? Where''s the fun in that? Experiment with different elements! Create a diverse lineup, and you''ll easily counter any element thrown your way."


    "You... you must be joking." Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned and probed.


    It was common knowledge among all spirit masters that one could not tame spirit beasts of two different attributes beside spirit attribute that we have. Each person usualy have 1 spirit attributes. We determines which spirit attribute we have when we awakening our first portal and what attribute our first inborn spirit beast. My spirit attribute is fire, so i can only contract fire spirit beast only.


    Doing what you said would not only cause the spiritual power within to become chaotic but also make the spirit portals clash, potentially resulting in the destruction of the spirit portal.


    Not to mention, even summoning multiple spirit beasts of different attribute was unheard of. Even someone as powerful as Blaze Ash could only summon same attribute spirit beast!


    "Have I ever joked?" Master Magi turned back, looking at Blaze Regret with a half smile.


    With a slightly dry throat, Blaze Regret finally understood something, and his expression instantly became excited. "Master Magi, can you help me achieve this?"


    "Of course."


    Master Magi chuckled lightly, waved his sleeves, and a compass with multiple polygonal edges appeared in his palm. One corner of the compass seemed to have a flickering flame.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret stared at the compass in astonishment.


    "Do you know about spiritual techniques?" Master Magi did not answer Blaze Regret''s question directly but instead asked him.


    "Yes, my father practices a spiritual technique called ''Fire Burn,'' which can stimulate inner potential and unleash multiple attacks in an instant, easily enabling him to challenge opponents of higher levels."


    As Blaze Regret spoke unfaltering, he suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at the compass. "Don''t tell me this thing is also a spiritual technique!"


    After experiencing a book that could be a spirit beast and could even speak, Blaze Regret had come to somewhat believe that the compass could also be a spiritual technique.


    "Hehe, how could this thing be a spiritual technique?"


    Master Magi rolled his eyes at Blaze Regret as if looking at a fool, then gently tilted the compass, pointing at a diamond like object in the center. "This thing is the spiritual technique."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly. Isn''t this the same thing!


    "This item is called the Sacred Crystal. Legend has it that when the Spirit Beast Continent was formed, fragments fell from the sky, and this crystal contains the essences of sixteen different attributes," Master Magi chuckled.


    "With this item, can I do what you just mentioned?" Blaze Regret''s breathing became rapid, and he couldn''t wait to grab the Sacred Crystal immediately.


    Taming spirit beasts of different attributes and being able to summon multiple attribute at once, just thinking about it felt exhilarating! Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Of course," Master Magi nodded with a smile.


    "Say it, what do you want me to do?" Blaze Regret gritted his teeth and asked with difficulty.


    This old fox wouldn''t give something for nothing; whatever he wanted Blaze Regret to do would certainly not be simple.


    "I have already sensed the location of a book page. After we return, you will need to accompany me on a journey to retrieve it by any means necessary," Master Magi''s face finally showed a hint of seriously, making it clear that these book pages were extremely important to him.


    "That''s all?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh bitterly. "Even if you didn''t give me the Sacred Crystal, I would still help you. Don''t forget, this was our initial agreement."

 Chapter 87 - 87 The Second Spirit Beast 3

    Raising his eyebrows slightly, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Master Magi''s eyes. It seemed the initial gamble had paid off.


    Their relationship had grown to include something beyond mere transactions.


    "Here, take it."


    With a wave of his hand, Master Magi sent the Sacred Crystal from the center of the compass into Blaze Regret''s hands.


    "How do I use this thing?"


    Fascinated by the multicolored glow of the Sacred Crystal, Blaze Regret asked curiously.


    "Place it on your spirit portal."


    Master Magi''s voice echoed. Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment before gently pressing it to his chest. In the next instant, a flash of light appeared, and the Sacred Crystal vanished into thin air.


    "Gone... vanished?" Blaze Regret was stunned.


    "Feel the changes within your body," Master Magi smiled. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret closed his eyes slightly. The second spirit portal within his body had formed when he broke through to Spirit warrior. It used to be surrounded by flames, but now it felt empty, as if it had no attributes at all.


    "Can I now tame spirit beasts of other attributes?" Blaze Regret was overjoyed. He believed that if he could achieve this, he would be the only one on the entire Spirit Beast Continent who could!


    "Not yet, but soon," Master Magi said with a grin.


    With a push of his hand, the last layer of ice in the tunnel melted away completely, revealing an extremely spacious cave before Blaze Regret. Countless blue bubbles floated in the air, occasionally making soft, cooing sounds.


    If one observed closely, they would see that each blue bubble contained a tiny, wriggling figure, looking incredibly cute. If Sky Diana were here, she would probably be overwhelmed with delight.


    "Ice Sprites?"


    Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat. Ice Sprites, low level warrior grade spirit beasts, had gentle natures and wouldn''t attack unless provoked.


    Amidst the many Ice Sprites stood a towering blue ice pillar, roughly ten feet wide. Within it, something seemed to be frozen.


    "Master Magi, is this a spirit beast?" Blaze Regret asked in amazement, running over and startling the Ice Sprites into scattering.


    "Tsk tsk, no wonder the Ice Lotus Sage went to such lengths to create an ice cave. It turns out it was for this little one," Master Magi said with great interest, smacking his lips.


    "You mean this entire ice cave was created by the Ice Lotus Sage?" Blaze Regret exclaimed in astonishment.


    "Hehe, never underestimate the capabilities of a Spiritual Sage. For this little one, creating an ice city would be well worth it," Master Magi replied with a chuckle.


    With a flick of his sleeve, golden light spread out, and as it touched the ice pillar, an Ice Control Irenix with closed eyes appeared in Blaze Regret''s view.


    "What is that?" Blaze Regret asked, his heart beating faster. This spirit beast might just accompany him as he grows!


    "It''s an Ice Control Irenix. The moment it emerges from its chrysalis, it becomes a high level warrior grade spirit beast. Of course, that''s not particularly surprising. What''s extraordinary is that the Ice Control Irenix has an innate affinity for all forms of ice. In nature, there''s a terrifying form of extreme ice that only it can refine," explained Master Magi slowly.


    "Extreme ice?" Blaze Regret repeated the unfamiliar term several times.


    "Extreme ice is the coldest type of ice on the continent. It can instantly freeze even the hottest flames, let alone other types of spiritual energy. This cold can slow down a Spirit Master''s energy flow, temporarily weakening their strength. For those with weaker abilities, it can even freeze their spirit portals directly!"


    Beside that,this Ice Control Irenix have a Bloodline of ice Phoenix. It have high chance to evolve to Ice Phoenix.


    Master Magi explained with a smile, clearly holding the Ice Control Irenix in high regard.


    "Incredible," Blaze Regret said, rubbing his hands in excitement. "I''ve decided, this will be my second spirit beast!"


    In the cold ice cave, Blaze Regret sat cross legged before an ice pillar, his eyes slightly closed. His fair, almost feminine like hand gently pressed against the ice pillar, as pale blue icy energy slowly flowed towards his second spirit portal.


    "Crack!"


    Master Magi''s face was solemn as he clenched his fist, causing the spirit core of the Extreme Ice Eagle to shatter into a cloud of ice powder. The powder then drifted out and merged with the icy energy. In an instant, Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal was covered with layers of solid ice.


    At this moment, the two spirit gates within Blaze Regret''s body were close together: one surrounded by blazing flames, the other frozen solid. At the center of the spirit gates, a radiant sacred crystal shimmered with bright luster.


    "Ding!"


    The ice pillar disappeared, fully exposing the Ice Control Irenix within. When its pale blue eyes opened, the ice crystals surrounding it collided, emitting a crisp sound.


    Only then did Blaze Regret see the true appearance of the Ice Control Irenix. Its large icy wings spread out, and a cold wind instantly swept through the area. Numerous sparkling ice crystals circled its body, looking exceptionally beautiful.


    "Blaze Regret, form the spirit contract."


    You have only one chance. Try to connect with it soul.


    Master Magi''s voice suddenly rang out.


    Staring blankly at the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment, then cautiously bite his hand and extended his hand. His blood cover with spirit energy and then spread towards the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Ding!"


    A trace of confusion flashed in the Ice Control Irenix''s eyes. It feel a stranger soul want to communicate with it. Its wings flapped, and amidst the howling cold wind, its figure shot backward. Wherever it passed, all Ice Spritess shrieked and fled.


    "Master Magi, it''s not working!"


    Seeing the Ice Control Irenix flapping its wings and trying to escape, Blaze Regret''s face immediately filled with anxiety.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a beam of blue light shot out from Blaze Regret''s Void Realm Stone. It soared into the air and transformed into an ice lotus about ten feet in diameter. As the ice lotus spun, its icy petals began to bloom one by one.


    Seeing the ice lotus, the Ice Control Irenix sensed imminent danger and tried to flee. However, a powerful suction force erupted from the center of the ice lotus, pulling it directly inside.

 Chapter 88 - 88 The Second Spirit Beast 4

    Hastily retrieving the map from his Void Realm Stone, Blaze Regret was astonished to find that the ice lotus mark in the lower right corner had disappeared. It seemed that the ice lotus in midair had originated from that mark.


    The petals of the ice lotus closed and then transformed into a streak of blue light, quickly merging into Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal.


    "Ah!"


    As the ice lotus entered, Blaze Regret immediately doubled over in pain. Pure white frost spread outward from him, extending in all directions.


    Inside his second spirit portal, the ice lotus was frantically absorbing his spiritual power. If this continued, he would eventually die from spiritual power exhaustion!


    "Hmph, a mere fallen spirit entity dares to touch my disciple!"


    Master Magi''s eyes flashed with cold light. He spread his hand and then clenched it fiercely. A golden beam of light enveloped Blaze Regret, instantly drawing out the chilling energy.


    "Who are you?"


    The ice lotus roared in surprise and anger. In an instant, several icy streams, carrying an extremely cold temperature, shot towards Master Magi from all directions.


    "Heh, I''m someone you cannot afford to provoke."


    Master Magi''s lips curved into a grin. He changed his hand seal, and a figure made of ice suddenly appeared above Blaze Regret''s head. The face of the figure was filled with pain.


    "You must be the Ice Lotus Sage," Master Magi said coolly.


    "Since you know who I am, why don''t you bow down and worship me? Do you want me to freeze your entire clan to death?" Although the ice figure was curious about Master Magi''s identity, it still shouted menacingly, albeit with underlying fear.


    "Oh, really? Are you that powerful?" Master Magi raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. Then, he suddenly clenched his hand, causing the golden beam of light to contract. Under the terrified gaze of the ice figure, it was compressed into a shower of icy fragments.


    "No!"


    With a wail, the ice fragments scattered, turning pitch black as they touched the ground. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Cough, cough!"


    Blaze Regret slowly straightened up, staring intently at the black ice fragments on the ground. He gasped, "Could this guy be the Ice Lotus Sage?"


    Master Magi smiled, but his smile was filled with disdain. "Ice Lotus Sage? Just a despicable scoundrel who would stop at nothing. Even in death, it couldn''t stay honest. If I weren''t here, your body would now belong to it."


    Blaze Regret opened his mouth, a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead. Only now did he feel a lingering fear.


    But in the next moment, his mood turned to joy. In his perception, the Ice Control Irenix was quietly resting in his second spirit portal, above a blooming, crystalline ice lotus.


    "Heh heh, you''ve really lucked out," Master Magi chuckled. "This ice lotus is formed from the Ice Lotus Sage''s lifetime spiritual power. Your Ice Control Irenix is currently a high level Tier Five spirit warrior. With this ice lotus, it can undergo another transformation and easily break through to the Imperial level."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes widened with excitement. "Can it happen right now?"


    If the Blaze family were to gain another spirit beast at the Imperial level, it would be equivalent to having three powerful spirit masters. Even the formidable Snow family wouldn''t be able to compete with them.


    "What are you thinking? The spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Sage is far beyond what the Ice Control Irenix can currently handle. It might be eligible when it reaches the ninth tier of the spirit warrior level," Master Magi said with a helpless laugh.


    Even so, Blaze Regret was still very satisfied. Although the Blue Flame Demon Cat was still at the first tier, the Ice Control Irenix had already reached the fifth tier. According to the usual classification, he should now be considered a fifth tier spirit warrior.


    Of course, Blaze Regret knew his own limitations. Even though his spiritual power was much more robust than that of an ordinary spirit warrior, fully controlling the Ice Control Irenix was not an easy task. If the Ice Control Irenix frequently used its spiritual skills, his spiritual power would be exhausted quickly.


    His current level of spiritual power was comparable to that of an ordinary third tier spirit warrior. Strictly speaking, he was still a first tier spirit warrior because the robustness of his spiritual power was not yet compatible with the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Ding!"


    The second spirit portal opened, and the dazed Ice Control Irenix flew out from the summoning array, flapping its ice wings and scattering pale blue ice mist.


    The fifth tier Ice Control Irenix only mastered two spiritual skills: Ice Wing Slash and Ice Feather. But each skill was of a high level spirit warrior grade, with destructive power far surpassing even the Red''s Blue Flame Demon Cat.


    "Woof!"


    Red ran behind the Ice Control Irenix with a mischievous grin. It extended its sharp claws, quickly swiping to snatch one of the ice crystals surrounding the Ice Control Irenix.


    The dazed Ice Control Irenix felt the sharp wind coming from behind. Its wings suddenly vibrated, unleashing an icy storm that sent the Red flying.


    "Bang!"


    Falling to the ground, the Red bared its teeth and waved its small claw vigorously at the Ice Control Irenix, clearly showing its displeasure.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret felt a surge of joy in his heart. The Red was now a Blue Flame Demon Cat, a breed far more powerful than the Scorching Flame Cat. Yet, the Ice Control Irenix had just flapped its wings, and the Red was sent flying. This was enough to prove its strength.


    "Now, it''s time to refine the Azure Dust Fruits."


    Letting the two spirit beasts play around, Blaze Regret took out six Azure Dust Fruits from his void realms stone, his eyes gleaming with excitement.


    After refining these Azure Dust Fruits, he would truly become a third tier spirit warrior. By then, even if the Ice Control Irenix used its spiritual skills recklessly, he would be able to sustain it!


    After that. Blaze Regret went out from the cave and meet Sky Diana and Sky nasrul already finish refine the Azure Dust Fruits.


    Let go. There nothing that need to do any more. Let go out said Blaze Regret to Sky Nasrul and Sky Diana.

 Chapter 89 - 89 The Conclusiom

    Outside the Black Forest, the sky was approaching dusk. The weak sunlight scattered down but couldn''t even penetrate the thin mist, leaving only patches of light spots above the forest.


    "Take this pill," Alif Azlin said as she leaned down slightly, placing several pills into the palms of the Met family''s three brothers.


    Alif Azlin''s graceful figure was accentuated by her bent posture, creating a perfect curve. However, the Met brothers, despite the enticing scene, ignored it entirely. With dim eyes, they swallowed the pills silently, without saying a word.


    "Hehe, it seems that brat Snow Amar was quite ruthless," Mat Kun said with a faint smile as he glanced at the three brothers.


    "Mat Kun, just look at the people you''ve found!" An Nick, the manager of Catas Shop, said angrily. "Snow Amar was too vicious. Even after winning, he had to kill their life bound spirit beasts. Isn''t that overkill?" Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Behind Mat Kun, Black Metal and Hat Tu couldn''t help but feel a bit of pleasure at the miserable state of the Met brothers. Although they had also suffered a crushing defeat, their life bound spirit beasts had survived, allowing them to recover far more quickly than the Met brothers.


    "Hehe, Old An, you understand the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest. Why are you acting like a child, nitpicking over such things?" Mat Kun laughed.


    In his view, in this Angsana Pavilion Festival, the only ones qualified to be Snow Amar''s opponents were the Met brothers. Now that they had suffered a crushing defeat, Snow Amar''s strength was enough to dominate the Black Forest.


    "Met Said, Met Saed, Met Sauk, don''t worry. I will use all the resources at my disposal to find each of you a stone type spirit beast stronger than the Rock Monster," An Nick said angrily, gritting his teeth as he tried to comfort the three brothers.


    The eldest of the three, Met Said, gave a bitter smile at these words. Even if they found spirit beasts stronger than the Rock Monster, they wouldn''t be their life bound spirit beasts and would lack any emotional connection. However, given the situation, he had no choice but to accept it. An Nick''s actions were already quite righteous. If anyone was to be blamed...


    Thinking of Snow Amar, Met Said''s eyes filled with a murderous frenzy, and his tightly clenched fists made a creaking sound.


    "It seems like someone else is coming out," Alif Azlin said softly as she watched three people emerge slowly from the forest.


    Seeing this, Mark breathed a sigh of relief.


    He had already regretted his earlier decision. Blaze Regret and his companions were descendants of two major families. If they met with the same misfortune as the Met brothers, he would have no place left in Veloria City to continue his career.


    Black Metal, however, looked puzzled. How had Blaze Regret and the others survived an encounter with the Extreme Ice Eagle? This didn''t fit into his calculations at all!


    "Sister Alif Azlin, these are all the herbs and medicinal plants we''ve collected," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile, handing over two void realms stones to Alif Azlin.


    "Ninth Heaven Leaf, Moon Spirit Flower, Withered Cold Bamboo... these are all rare herbs and medicinal plants," Alif Azlin said with a slight smile on her pretty face. But not far away, Black Metal and Hat Tu looked exceptionally grim.


    Many of these herbs and medicinal plants had been snatched from them by Blaze Regret, so before coming out, they could only gather a few random herbs to hand over to the Angsana Medicine Pavilion.


    "How come there''s only one Azure Dusk Fruit?" Alif Azlin asked, taking the snow white Azure Dust Fruit from the pile of herbs. She was initially delighted but then slightly puzzled.


    "Do you even need to ask? The remaining eight are obviously in Snow Amar''s hands," Mat Kun said with a smug smile.


    The map to the Azure Dust Fruit wasn''t exclusive to Hat Tu. Before the three teams entered the Black Forest, Mat Kun had secretly given Snow Amar an identical map. Without it, Snow Amar would never have found the location on his own.


    "It looks like our Batas Shop is sure to win this Angsana Pavilion Festival," Mat Kun laughed confidently.


    "Don''t be so sure," came a response.


    Mark, standing to the side, slowly said, "How can you be so sure that Snow Amar got all eight Azure Dust Fruits?"


    "I just am," Mat Kun sneered arrogantly. He knew Snow Amar''s strength inside out. Not only Blaze Regret and his companions, but even if the Met brothers joined them, they wouldn''t be able to touch Snow Amar.


    The Azure Dust Fruit in Blaze Regret''s hand must have been left behind by Snow Amar, which was how the people from the Atlas Shop got it by luck.


    Thinking this, Mat Kun cast a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret. "Just picking up what others leave behind? Is that all your father taught you, Blaze Ash?"


    Mat Kun harbored an intense hatred for Blaze Ash. If he could, he would have destroyed the Blaze family for destroy the Batas Shop. Thus, he had no good feelings toward Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly and said calmly, "If we were of the same strength, I would demonstrate everything my father taught me on you, one by one."


    "You¡ª!"


    Mat Kun''s eyes flashed with anger. "Sharp tongued brat! All you can do is talk big. If you''re so capable, why not win this Angsana Pavilion Festival?"


    "How do you know we won''t win?" Blaze Regret retorted.


    Mat Kun responded with nothing more than a cold laugh.


    Win? Keep dreaming!


    "Swish!"


    At this moment, a short tree at the edge of the Black Forest shook, making a rustling sound. Several small, hidden spirit beasts hurriedly fled in fright.


    "Snow Amar is coming out!"


    Black Metal and Hat Tu both looked excited and provocatively glanced at Blaze Regret. Even if you won against us, the ultimate victor will still be us!


    "Mark, you lost again," Mat Kun said with a faint smile

 Chapter 90 - 90 Disqualification

    Hearing this, Mark felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. In the central region of the empire, he had lost to Mat Kun more than once. Was he going to stumble here again?


    If Mat Kun won this time, Mark feared his days as the owner of Atlas Shop would be numbered.


    Only he knew how abundant the resources for the winning side would be. With those resources, the Batas Shop would become unprecedentedly powerful, perhaps even crushing the Atlas Shop.


    "Hiss!"


    However, when that figure appeared, everyone gasped in shock, and even Sky Diana almost screamed.


    Snow Amar was covered in congealed blood, looking extremely horrifying. His face was like that of a tattered rag doll, filled with ghastly scars.


    "What happened?" Blaze Regret was stunned. He had indeed destroyed Snow Amar''s spiritual gate, but he hadn''t been this ruthless.


    "Blaze Regret, I will kill you!"


    Snow Amar raised his head, revealing his terrifying face, and with full hatred, he rushed towards Blaze Regret, roaring furiously, his voice echoing through the sky.


    Seeing this scene, everyone''s shock deepened. Was it really Blaze Regret who had brought Snow Amar to such a state?


    Especially Mat Kun, whose expression was particularly complex. A trace of unease rose in his heart.


    The direction in which things were developing seemed to be completely out of his control.


    Snow Amar roared as he approached, while Blaze Regret''s expression remained calm, seemingly unaffected. The fiery creature on his shoulder leaped down, and with a light swipe of its little paw, Snow Amar staggered back as if struck by a boulder.


    "Do you want to die?"


    In a flash, Blaze Regret moved in front of Snow Amar, his fingers glowing with flames, stopping at Snow Amar''s throat. The sharpness of his move was enough to easily pierce through Snow Amar''s neck.


    Feeling the terrifying energy, the anger in Snow Amar''s heart dissipated, replaced by deep fear. His body, which had been ready to lunge forward again, stiffened slightly.


    He had no doubt that if he dared to move again, Blaze Regret would kill him on the spot!


    "Blaze Regret, what do you think you''re doing?"


    At this moment, Mat Kun finally snapped back to his senses. He glared coldly at Blaze Regret and spoke in a chilling tone.


    "Sister Alif Azlin, you saw what happened. Can you announce the results now?"


    Ignoring Mat Kun, Blaze Regret lowered his fingers and calmly walked back to his original position, under Snow Amar''s gloomy and fearful gaze.


    Alif Azlin was momentarily stunned but then nodded slightly and was about to announce the results when Mat Kun suddenly interrupted.


    "So, the nine Azure Dust Fruits are all with you. What about the remaining eight?" Mat Kun''s tone was filled with interrogation.


    Seeing this, Sky Diana''s delicate face showed a hint of worry. It was clear that Mat Kun, having lost, was now trying to make an issue out of the Azure Dust Fruits.


    "I distributed them," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "Distributed them?"


    Mat Kun sneered, "Blaze Regret, you have a lot of nerve. Don''t you know that the most important thing in the Angsana Pavillion Festival is to obtain the Azure Dust Fruits? How dare you distribute them privately. Are you blatantly disregarding our Angsana Pavilion? Miss Alif Azlin, I propose we disqualify Blaze Regret and his team. The rewards for the winner should go to Snow Amar."


    "On what grounds are you disqualifying us?" Sky Nasrul angrily glared at Mat Kun. Over the past few days, they had nearly lost their lives multiple times just for this reward, and now Mat Kun was casually suggesting handing over their rightful reward to Snow Amar? sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Sister Alif Azlin, if I remember correctly, we didn''t beg Angsana Pavilion to participate in this Angsana Pavilion Festival, did we?" Blaze Regret turned his head to look at Alif Azlin.


    "Yes, that''s correct," Alif Azlin responded with a faint smile.


    "In other words, this is merely a fair transaction. Only spirit novice can enter the Black Forest, and obtaining the Azure Dust Fruit guarded by a mid tier third grade warrior level Extreme Ice Eagle isn''t something just anyone can do, right?" Blaze Regret continued.


    Hearing this, Alif Azlin''s face remained cheerful, showing no anger despite Blaze Regret directly pointing out the essence of the matter.


    In the past, Angsana Pavilion had sent numerous spirit novice into the Black Forest to obtain the Azure Dust Fruit. Most of those who entered were completely wiped out, and the few who managed to escape were gravely injured.


    In three days, even if they started breaking through upon entering, their spirit beasts wouldn''t reach the level needed to contend with the Extreme Ice Eagle, unless...


    Someone used a Suppression Pill.


    But the price of a Suppression Pill was exorbitant, one pill was as valuable as a Azure Dust Fruit. Even with its use, there was no guarantee of success. Over the years, only one team had ever brought out three Azure Dust Fruits, and that was due to sheer luck when the Extreme Ice Eagle was breaking through and less mobile.


    "So, even without Angsana Pavilion''s organization, we could have entered on our own, killed the Extreme Ice Eagle, and obtained the Azure Dust Fruit. This event is merely an opportunity," Blaze Regret stated calmly.


    "Indeed," Alif Azlin smiled but then suddenly seemed to remember something, exclaiming in surprise, "Wait, did you just say you killed the Extreme Ice Eagle?"


    Mat Kun, Mark, and the others were slightly taken aback. The Extreme Ice Eagle was a mid tier third grade warrior level spirit beast. With Blaze Regret and his team''s strength, how could they possibly kill it?


    It was evident that Blaze Regret was currently a second grade spirit warrior, while Sky Diana and Sky Nasrul were merely ninth grade spirit novice. The idea that they could kill the Extreme Ice Eagle was simply impossible!


    "A second grade spirit warrior?"


    Snow Amar''s heart surged with hatred. Blaze Regret must have refined the Azure Dust Fruit to break through so quickly!

 Chapter 91 - 91 Essense Milk

    "It''s not us; it''s just him alone..."


    Sky Diana pointed at Blaze Regret somewhat sheepishly. She and Sky Nasrul had merely watched from the sidelines, not even having the chance to intervene.


    Instantly, a flicker of surprise crossed everyone''s eyes.


    Of course, if they knew how Red defeated the Extreme Ice Eagle, their surprise would only deepen.


    In the battle against the Extreme Ice Eagle, Red was completely overwhelming. If the fight had been on the ground, Red could have killed the Extreme Ice Eagle in an instant.


    "I''m not the only one who can kill the Extreme Ice Eagle."


    Blaze Regret cast a meaningful glance at Snow Amar. Mat Kun, standing behind Alif Azlin, felt a jolt in his heart; he had given Snow Amar the Suppression Pill. Under normal circumstances, it would have been fine, but the Angsana Pavilion Festival had a competitive nature, and his actions completely violated the event''s rules.

    "What''s going on?" Alif Azlin''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes as she looked at Mat Kun.


    "Snow Amar, you actually dared to take a Suppression Pill?" Mat Kun quickly shifted his thoughts and scolded Snow Amar coldly.


    Seeing this, Mark sneered. It was clear Mat Kun intended to put all the blame on Snow Amar.


    Snow Amar lowered his head, saying nothing, a trace of hatred flashing across his grim face. If it weren''t for Blaze Regret, he would have won by now. The rewards from Angsana Pavilion were truly astonishing.


    "Miss Alif Azlin, I still request that Blaze Regret be disqualified. His actions are too vicious. Look at Snow Amar''s face, it''s completely disfigured by him. This is the behavior of a demon!" Mat Kun said sternly.


    "Don''t say I have better things to do. Even if it were me, what could you do? Disqualify me? Can you represent Angsana Pavilion?" Blaze Regret responded coldly.


    "Exactly. Mat Kun, you''re not a child anymore. You should understand the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest," someone echoed.


    An Nick, who had been silent all this time, saw an opportunity to get back at Mat Kun and immediately followed up, a sense of satisfaction welling up in his heart.


    What a hypocrite. When I sought justice before, this old man acted indifferent and unconcerned. Now he''s getting all worked up? Does he think I''m dead?


    "Brother An, you have to understand, Old Brother Mat has a habit of double standards. He''s used to bullying others, but can''t stand being bullied himself," Mark chimed in, adding fuel to the fire.


    "Old man, are our three life bound spirit beasts not as precious as Snow Amar''s?"


    The three Met brothers erupted in rage, looking as if they wanted to tear Mat Kun and Snow Amar to pieces.


    Among the four great families, Met Intan was known for his fiery temper, and his offspring, including Met Said and the others, were no less fierce.


    Mat Kun opened his mouth to say something, but was promptly interrupted by Alif Azlin, who wore a displeased expression.


    "Angsana Pavilion has always been fair and just. We''ll deal with the Suppression Pill matter later. For now, let''s distribute the rewards," she said.


    Mat Kun opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, seeing Alif Azlin''s sudden cold demeanor, he could only close his mouth resentfully, a subtle chill flickering in the depths of his eyes.


    "Each person from the Batas Store and Catas Store will receive a portion of Essence Milk."


    Alif Azlin lightly flicked her slender fingers, and with a flash of white light, several small bottles containing milky white liquid fell into the hands of Snow Amar and the others.


    Essence Milk?


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but be moved.


    Essence Milk can only be produced in underground salt crystal caves, and such caves are very rare. In the entire Veloria City, only the Angsana Pavilion Auction has access to one, and its production is extremely limited. It is a precious resource that diminishes with use.


    This spiritual substance can nurture a spirit master''s spirit portal, speeding up the recovery of spiritual power permanently, making it immensely valuable.


    Taking the small bottle of Essence Milk, everyone showed expressions of joy, except for Snow Amar. His hand trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with a murderous intent, as if he wanted to crush the bottle.


    Without a spirit portal, what use is this thing!


    "Next, it''s your turn."


    Alif Azlin waved her hand, and three more bottles of Essence Milk fell into the hands of Blaze Regret and the others. Holding the exquisite small bottle, Sky Nasrul''s face showed some confusion.


    "We get the same thing as them?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but ask.


    Seeing this, Black Metal''s face immediately showed a gloating expression. First place, yet the reward is just Essence Milk?


    "Of course not."


    Alif Azlin smiled slightly. "This is just a bonus. Your actual reward is a high grade warrior grade spirit crystal for each of you."


    "Spirit Crystal, high grade warrior grade?" Sky Nasrul''s eyes gradually brightened. His wind elemental had only reached mid grade warrior level after his breakthrough, but a high grade spirit crystal could elevate his wind elemental''s combat power to a new level.


    A single high grade warrior level spirit crystal costs at least fifty thousand gold coins. Even the four major families would be reluctant to spend such a large sum on one.


    "Spirit Technique, Wind Spin Explosion?"


    Holding the spirit crystal given by Alif Azlin, Sky Diana''s bright eyes blinked slightly.


    Wind Spin Explosion is the signature spirit technique of the high grade warrior level spirit beast, the Gale Demon. It can condense a whirlwind that, upon reaching the enemy, explodes violently, unleashing immense destructive power.


    "My crystal contains the spirit technique Light Split Shadow?"


    Originally not expecting much, Blaze Regret''s face suddenly lit up with joy upon receiving the information from the spirit crystal.


    Light Split Shadow allows a spirit beast to split its body into two and then merge them back together, launching a fierce attack on the enemy. It''s particularly effective for evading spirit techniques.

 Chapter 92 - 93 Dark Market

    "Having a look would be good. We might come across some rare thing, I also want you to buy something in there before we go adventure." Master Magi laughed.


    The cool moonlight fell from the sky, as if draping a layer of silver gauze over all the buildings.


    Under the starlit sky, a figure in a black robe walked slowly. On his shoulder, a petite Flame Cat licked its lips gently, its Blue eyes constantly surveying the surroundings.


    After winding through several crooked streets, Blaze Regret looked up at the slightly eerie gate in front of him, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    On either side of the gate stood two young men with indifferent expressions, each possessing the strength of a ninth rank spirit warrior.


    A ninth rank spirit warrior, just one step away from becoming a spirit Imperial. It''s unbelievable that such powerful individuals are here guarding the gate.


    "Is this the Dark Market?" Blaze Regret sighed inwardly, then lifted his foot and walked towards it.


    "Stop!"


    Just as Blaze Regret approached, one of the young men flashed a cold light in his eyes and shouted coldly.


    "Hey Hey, you think you can go in without a token?"


    At this moment, a young man passing by Blaze Regret glanced at him disdainfully, raised his hand slightly, and a pitch black token appeared in his hand, though it lacked the mandala flower engraving.


    "Go in."


    Under the indifferent gaze of the young man at the gate, the boy walked in with an arrogant expression, not even sparing Blaze Regret a glance.


    Watching this scene, Blaze Regret shrugged innocently. He knew the token was useful, but he didn''t know the Dark Market''s requirements were so strict, needing to show the token from such a distance.


    So, he took out the token from his storage stone and gently handed it to one of the young men.


    "An Elder''s Token?"


    Seeing the token in Blaze Regret''s hand, the young man was initially stunned, then quickly bowed respectfully. "I didn''t realize an elder was arriving. Apologies for any offense."


    Seeing this, the other young man also hurriedly bowed, moving very cautiously.


    "What is an Elder''s Token?"


    After a moment of hesitation, Blaze Regret asked in confusion.


    "You don''t know?"


    The young man straightened up, looking at Blaze Regret with a peculiar expression, but his attitude remained respectful: "The Elder''s Token is the highest token in the Dark Market. It grants access to any place within the Dark Markets of the Sun Moon Empire and provides a twenty percent discount on all purchases."


    "Are there different levels of tokens?" Blaze Regret blinked.


    "Of course, that person earlier had the lowest level token. He can''t access some of the truly good places," another young man quickly added.


    "So that''s how it is. Thank you for the information. May I go in now?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile.


    "Of course," the young man replied with a smile, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Sir, I don''t believe I''ve seen you before. This token..."


    "It was a gift from a friend, Alif Azlin from the Angsana Pavilion Auction. Do you know her?" Blaze Regret put the token back into his void Realms stone and asked, curious about Alif Azlin''s identity.


    "So it''s Elder Alif," the young man smiled wryly. "Please, go ahead. Forgive us for our rudeness."


    Seeing that the two were unwilling to divulge more information, Blaze Regret let it go. At least he knew that Alif Azlin was connected to the Dark Market and held a significant position.


    As he stepped through the dark door, the scene before him changed completely compared to the cold exterior. The streets on either side were lined with stalls, each vendor wearing a uniformly indifferent expression.


    "An eighth rank spirit warrior."


    Passing by one of the stalls, Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat. He could understand the strength of the two outside since they were Dark Market inspectors, but encountering an eighth rank spirit warrior just after entering was quite terrifying.


    "These guys all have a murderous aura. Best not to provoke them."


    The further he walked, the more shocked Blaze Regret became. Everyone inside was stronger than him. A second rank spirit warrior like him was at the very bottom here.


    On the street, every so often, a young man was stationed, all dressed in white, with solemn expressions on their faces.


    If it weren''t for these people, this dark market would be in utter chaos.


    "Blaze Regret, take three steps to the left. There''s something good there."


    As Blaze Regret was observing the market, Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.


    Nodding subtly, Blaze Regret walked over to the indicated stall, crouching down as if he were inspecting the goods.


    "Young man, all my items here are top quality. Whatever you need, just let me know, and I''ll give you the lowest price." Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even the Dark Market vendors were as shrewd and cunning as those outside. Seeing Blaze Regret approach, the vendor quickly put on a smile and started promoting his wares enthusiastically.


    "How much for this red bead?"


    Following Master Magi''s instructions, Blaze Regret''s hand pretended to sweep over a pile of items before stopping at a red bead.


    "This is a great treasure. I found it among the relics of a powerful spirit warrior. It''s yours for just twenty thousand gold coins," the vendor said, his eyes flashing.


    "Then tell me, what''s this bead used for?" Blaze Regret asked with amusement. Master Magi had just told him that this item wasn''t worth even a thousand gold coins, yet this guy was asking for twenty thousand. Quite bold.


    "Well, uh..." The vendor''s face showed an embarrassed expression, and he was at a loss for words.


    "If even you don''t know, why would I want it?" Blaze Regret chuckled, shaking his head as he stood up to leave.


    "Three thousand!" the vendor blurted out in a panic.


    "One thousand," Blaze Regret countered.


    Seeing that the vendor was still trying to raise the price, Blaze Regret waved his hand helplessly. "This item is of no use to me. I''m just browsing. If you''re not selling, then forget it."


    Reluctantly, the vendor nodded and took the thousand gold coins from Blaze Regret.


    Sorry wrong post chapter setting

 Chapter 93 - 92 Invited

    Seeing the three holding their spirit crystals, Dark Metal and the others looked extremely displeased. Although Essence Milk is precious and everyone received a portion, high grade warrior level spirit crystals are so rare that they scarcely appear even in Angsana Pavilion Auction.


    "Manager Mark, I will report the results of the Angsana Pavilion Festival later, and the winning resources will be distributed accordingly." Alif Azlin looked at Mark, her voice clear and ethereal.


    "Hehe, no rush."


    Under Mat Kun''s sullen gaze, Mark waved his hand and smiled, "Since everything is settled, I''ll take these three little guys back first. Otherwise, some people might not be able to accept their loss and resort to retaliation."


    "You..."


    Hearing this, Mat Kun''s face twitched, and he shot an angry glance at Mark, his chest heaving with rage.


    "Wait a moment."


    Suddenly, Alif Azlin looked at Blaze Regret and softly said, "Since you can refine the Blue Fire Pill, you must be close to becoming a second grade alchemist."


    Looking at Alif Azlin''s beautiful face, Blaze Regret smiled lightly and nodded. If his spiritual power were sufficient, becoming a second grade alchemist, or even a third grade alchemist, would be effortless. After all, the Medicine Emperor Seed contains the lifelong experience of the Medicine Emperor, providing unparalleled assistance in alchemist.


    However, refining second grade pills requires extremely strong spiritual power. Ordinary seventh grade spirit warrior can barely reach the threshold, but Blaze Regret only needs to advance to the fifth grade spirit warrior to be capable.


    "Are you interested in joining our Angsana Pavilion?"


    Suddenly, Alif Azlin''s eyes burned as she stared at Blaze Regret, as if looking at a rare treasure.


    Such a young alchemist, given time, would surely surpass the few resident alchemists at Angsana Pavilion. If Blaze Regret follows her, her status in Angsana Pavilion will also rise significantly.


    Seeing this, Mat Kun''s mouth opened wide in disbelief. Did he hear correctly? Alif Azlin was actually inviting Blaze Regret to join Angsana Pavilion?


    Mark and An Nick were also stunned. Others might not know, but the three of them were well aware of Alif Azlin''s significance in Angsana Pavilion. Even they were far behind her.


    If Blaze Regret followed Alif Azlin, the future cultivation resources he would receive would be abundant beyond measure!


    "Sorry, after participating in the Angsana Pavilion Festival, I plan to go out and train for a while. I don''t have any plans in that regard for now." Blaze Regret shrugged, feeling a bit regretful.


    If it weren''t for Master Magi, he might have agreed without hesitation. But he believed that following Master Magi would offer a future far brighter than staying at Angsana Pavilion.


    "Ungrateful." Mat Kun said this, but in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief. If Blaze Regret had really followed Alif Azlin, it would be much harder to deal with him in the future, even as the manager of the Batas Shop. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Training, huh? No problem. In your spare time, I can arrange for an eighth level spiritual Lord to personally guide you in training." Alif Azlin''s smile remained composed. She believed that such a huge temptation was something a young man could not resist.


    An eighth level spiritual Lord!


    Snow Amar and the others were struck as if by lightning. Even the strongest in Veloria City were no match for this. It was unbelievable that Alif Azlin would offer such a high price to recruit Blaze Regret!


    Mat kun''s face turned sour again. Alif Azlin was determined to win over Blaze Regret!


    A powerful spiritual Lord, especially an eighth level one, was rare even in Angsana Pavilion.


    "Sister Alif Azlin, I appreciate your kindness, but I really have something important to do."


    Blaze Regret smiled bitterly, feeling a bit embarrassed to refuse. Though an eighth level spiritual Lord was strong, he had promised Master Magi to search for the missing pages of the book, and he wouldn''t go back on his word.


    "I really wonder what important thing you could have to do, little guy."


    Alif Azlin wasn''t angry; she just nodded regretfully. "If you need anything, feel free to come to Angsana Pavilion Auction to find me. In Veloria City, my words still hold some weight."


    "Okay." Blaze Regret nodded.


    He had a good impression of Alif Azlin. It was hard for anyone to dislike such a gentle and kind woman.


    After speaking, Alif Azlin took slow, graceful steps towards the direction of the Angsana Pavilion Auction. As she passed by Blaze Regret, she gently squeezed his hand for a moment before letting go.


    The soft touch on his palm made Blaze Regret''s cheeks flush. When he lifted his head, Alif Azlin had already walked away, but he clearly felt that something had been placed in his hand.


    "What is this?"


    In the room, Blaze Regret sat at the table, holding a pitch Dark token in his hand. The token seemed to be engraved with a beautiful mandala flower.


    On the bed beside him, Red lay quietly, eyes slightly closed, emitting a faint Blue glow as it absorbed the Light Split Shadow Spirit Crystal.


    "Who would have thought that Alif Azlin would have something like this."


    Master Magi took the Dark token from Blaze Regret''s hand, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. "This item should be proof of entry into the Dark market."


    "Dark market?" Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow slightly.


    "The so called Dark market is a place that cannot be exposed to the light. The items traded there mostly come from dubious sources and are extremely rare in the regular market. More importantly, due to the nature of the Dark market, those items are much cheaper than outside," Master Magi explained.


    "This token is very rare?" Blaze Regret''s interest in the Dark market was piqued.


    "Proof of entry into the Dark market occasionally circulates on the market, but tokens engraved with mandala flowers are not seen often," Master Magi pondered.


    "Shall we take a look?" Blaze Regret glanced at the pitch Dark sky outside the window, then turned his head, looking at Master Magi with anticipation.

 Chapter 94 - 94 Direction Tree (Bonus 1)

    "I thought I had run into a naive customer," the vendor muttered to himself after Blaze Regret left, seemingly regretful that he hadn''t been able to swindle him.


    "Master Magi, this bead doesn''t seem to be anything special."


    Under the moonlight, Blaze Regret held the red bead up to the sky. Aside from its crystal clear appearance, he found nothing unusual about it.


    "This bead is something that grows at the top of the Direction Tree."


    In Blaze Regret''s mind, Master Magi''s voice slowly echoed: "The Direction Tree often moves around desert areas. It is a wood attribute spirit beast that, when attacked, fires all its spikes, turning its enemy into a pincushion. These spikes rarely miss their target, and the reason for this is the guidance of this bead."


    "It is indeed quite magical, but it seems useless to me," Blaze Regret muttered.


    "Heh, your experience is still too shallow. Think about it, when you encountered the Ghost Face Flower in the forest, if you had embedded this bead into the Blue Demon Tree fruit and used your spiritual power to activate it, letting it automatically bombard, you wouldn''t have gotten hurt," Master Magi said, curling his lips.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up. He quickly and joyfully placed the red bead into the Void Realm Stone. It seemed that this thing was not only useful but of great importance.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s eyes start to wander over the stalls again, Master Magi couldn''t help but tease: "Stop looking, the rest are just junk. You don''t lack medicinal pills or spirit crystals. The real good place in this Dark Market, you haven''t even been to yet."


    Nodding regretfully, Blaze Regret took out a Mandala pattern token and walked to a young man in white.


    Upon seeing the token, the young man in white, like the two people outside, used an extremely respectful tone to tell Blaze Regret everything he wanted to know in complete detail.


    "Dark Spirit Tower, huh¡­"


    A hint of interest flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. Following the direction indicated by the young man in white, he walked deeper into the street.


    According to the young man in white, the Dark Spirit Tower is the most heavily guarded place in the entire Dark Market. The higher you go, the higher the level of the token required, and the items inside become more precious and rare.


    After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a completely pitch black hexagonal tower appeared within Blaze Regret''s sight. At the top of the tower, the words "Dark Spirit Tower" stood out prominently. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The first floor of the Dark Spirit Tower did not have any restrictions; all spirit masters who could enter the Dark Market could enter.


    Compared to the chaotic stalls outside, the items inside were arranged with noticeably more order, and all the items were placed in luxurious crystal display cases.


    "You actually managed to get in here?"


    Just as Blaze Regret was examining the items in the display cases, a surprised voice suddenly reached his ears.


    Blaze Regret slightly turned his gaze and found a young man looking at him with amusement. Beside the young man stood a woman dressed in red. After glancing at Blaze Regret, the woman quickly averted her eyes, and a faint, disdainful snort seemed to escape her lips.


    Third tier spirit warrior?


    Blaze Regret was slightly surprised. Both of them were third tier spirit warrior, which explained why they didn''t regard him, who was merely a second tier spirit warrior on the surface, as worth their attention.


    "The first floor doesn''t have anything good."


    Ignoring the provocative young man, Blaze Regret looked around again and muttered to himself.


    "Nothing good?"


    The young man was taken aback for a moment before sneering, "You have quite the eye, don''t you? Not even the items in Dark Spirit Tower catch your interest. Are you perhaps a scion from one of the great families in the empire''s central region?"


    The woman in red glanced at Blaze Regret, her eyes filled with even more contempt.


    Not only was his strength low, but he didn''t even recognize valuable items!


    Growing irritated by the young man''s antics, Blaze Regret turned his gaze and impatiently said, "Are you a dog? You keep barking non stop."


    The young man was momentarily stunned, and then his eyes filled with cold malice. He said in a chilling tone, "Who are you calling a dog? Say that again if you dare."


    Seeing this, the woman in red sneered. This guy was bold, indeed. A mere second tier spirit warrior dared to insult a third tier spirit warrior; he truly didn''t know how he was courting death.


    Frowning slightly, Blaze Regret lifted his foot and headed towards the second floor. He had no intention of wasting time with an arrogant fool who barked like a dog.


    "Mot Kira, he''s actually going to the second floor," the woman in red whispered.


    "Haha, judging by his appearance, it must be his first time entering the Dark Market. He knows nothing about the rules. Does he really think he can enter the second floor of Dark Spirit Tower?" Mot Kira sneered disdainfully.


    But then, the two of them looked as if they had seen a ghost. They watched as Blaze Regret presented a token, and the barrier to the second floor immediately dissipated.


    "Hilda Kana, follow him. Luckily, I brought my father''s token. Since this kid dared to insult me, I''ll knock out every single one of his teeth later," Mot Kira said with a sinister look in his eyes, his voice dripping with murderous intent.


    After entering the second floor, Blaze Regret found that the items were indeed of a higher grade than those on the first floor. However, after a moment of hesitation, he immediately headed to the third floor.


    Since the higher up he went, the more valuable the items, he might as well go straight to the top floor.


    "How is this kid still going up?"


    Mot Kira and the woman in red, who had just stepped onto the second floor, stared wide eyed in shock at Blaze Regret''s receding figure.

 Chapter 95 - 95 Black Spirit Shell (Bonus 2)

    "I think something''s off, Mot Kira. This kid might have a significant background," the woman in red said coldly.


    "Background? Haha, no matter how powerful the people behind him are, he himself is just a second tier spirit warrior. Once we leave the Dark Market, we can find an opportunity to kill him. At that time, everything he has will be ours," Mot Kira said with a cold smile.


    "Exactly. Since he''s heading to the third floor, it means the items he buys will be very valuable. Killing an inexperienced rookie like him will only add to our wealth," Hilda Kana said, her voice laced with viciousness.


    Meanwhile, Blaze Regret had no idea what the two were plotting. He had already reached the fifth floor. Aside from him, there was no one else here, just rows of display cases standing quietly.


    "How am I supposed to trade for these items?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.


    "Do you see the small slot in front of the counter? Insert your token there," instructed Master Magi, looking very experienced.


    Approaching one of the counters, Blaze Regret carefully inserted his token. Suddenly, thirty golden stars appeared on the crystal counter, and after a brief flicker, two of them turned green.


    "This should mean that your token contains three hundred thousand gold coins, and this item is worth twenty thousand. The corresponding amount will be automatically deducted after you make the purchase," Master Magi explained in a deep voice.


    Three hundred thousand...


    Hearing this number, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned. Even with the Blaze family''s financial resources, they couldn''t come up with such a large sum of gold coins all at once.


    At that moment, he suddenly felt as if he were being sponsored by someone.


    After wandering around the fifth floor for a while, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but marvel at the vast collection of treasures in the Black Horn Tower, though he felt slightly disappointed.


    Most of the items for sale on the fifth floor were pills and spirit crystals, with a few spirit beasts encased in light spheres. However, these things were no longer scarce to him.


    Just as he was about to step onto the final floor, Blaze Regret''s gaze suddenly fixed on the left wall.


    Hanging on that wall was a massive tortoise shell, about a roughly 3.3 meters wide, with a pale blue sheen that flickered intermittently, causing the surrounding space to alternately brighten and dim.


    "This thing looks pretty sturdy."


    Blaze Regret quickly walked over and gently touched the outer side of the tortoise shell. The cool touch was transmitted through his fingertips.


    "Roar!"


    Red claws emerged, burning with fierce Blue flames, and then fiercely slashed at the tortoise shell. However, not even the slightest mark was left.


    "Don''t waste your strength. It''s not just your little Flame Cat; even Kartis Kai''s Demon Thunder Steed wouldn''t be able to break this shell."


    Master Magi smiled faintly and said, "This item is the shell of a Black Spirit Turtle after its death, known as the Black Spirit Shell. It is incredibly hard. Judging by its sheen, this Black Spirit Turtle must have been a third rank high level lord before it died. Therefore, its shell can withstand a full force attack from a fifth rank high level lord grade spirit beast."


    Seeing the fiery look in Blaze Regret''s eyes, Master Magi couldn''t help but laugh and then said, "Kid, don''t get your hopes too high. If you were to use it, this shell could only withstand attacks from warrior level spirit beasts, far from its former capacity."


    "So, it''s unbreakable below the lord level?" Blaze Regret wasn''t disappointed; his eyes remained as bright as ever.


    "You could say that," Master Magi nodded slowly.


    Taking out his token, Blaze Regret unhesitatingly slid it into the small gap below the Black Spirit Shell. With a click, the shell fell, hitting the ground with a loud thud.


    The spirit masters on the lower floors of the Black Horn Tower were all stunned, looking upwards. However, none dared to scold, as anyone who could enter the fifth floor was a figure they couldn''t afford to offend.


    "What was that noise?" Mot Kira squinted in confusion, holding a necklace made of flame shell beads.


    "Who knows? Forget about it. Just keep an eye on the entrance. We can''t let that kid slip out without us noticing," Hilda Kana shook her head, continuing to carefully examine the items on the counter.


    "Whoosh!"


    Blaze Regret exhaled lightly and gripped the Black Spirit Shell, trying to lift it. Despite the sweat forming on his forehead, the shell didn''t budge an inch.


    "Foolish."


    Master Magi smirked, "This Black Spirit Shell weighs at least four hundred pounds. There''s no way you can lift it."


    As he spoke, Master Magi pointed his finger, and golden light gathered at his fingertip. It then transformed into countless dazzling beams of light, scattering and surrounding the Black Spirit Shell, rotating rapidly.


    With the light swirling around it, the Black Spirit Shell slowly rose, as light as a feather, and moved in front of Blaze Regret.


    "Don''t just stand there, quickly drop a bit of your blood on it," Master Magi reminded the slightly dazed Blaze Regret. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Snapping back to reality, Blaze Regret pressed the Red Flame''s claw against his fingertip, making a small cut. Immediately, a drop of fresh blood oozed out and fell onto the tortoise shell.


    "Buzz!"


    Upon absorbing Blaze Regret''s blood, the Black Spirit Shell vibrated and then began to spin rapidly around him, forming vivid blue afterimages that seemed almost tangible.


    "I have completely erased the Black Spirit Turtle''s aura. From now on, this shell can only be controlled by you," Master Magi said calmly, though a hint of fatigue flashed in his eyes.


    It was clear that erasing the original aura of the spirit beast was a very exhausting task. Even someone as powerful as Master Magi struggled with it, let alone other spirit masters.


    Otherwise, the price of this Black Spirit Shell would be even higher.

    Seeing the original thirty stars reduced to twenty, Blaze Regret didn''t feel the slightest bit of regret. Such a life saving item, even if it were priced at a hundred thousand gold coins, would fetch a sky high price outside, which was to be expected.


    Satisfied, Blaze Regret pulled down the token and stored the Black Spirit Shell in his Void Realms Stone before turning to head to the sixth floor.


    "What the heck is this?"


    The moment Blaze Regret stepped into the sixth floor, he gasped. In the center of this final level was an enormous spirit beast, its terrifying form causing Blaze Regret to curse involuntarily.


    The spirit beast resembled a Tiger, with slightly sharp fangs that glistened with an extremely sharp light, as if they could pierce through the hardest iron.


    "A spirit beast puppet?"


    A hint of surprise appeared in Master Magi''s eyes. "I didn''t expect such a small Dark Market to have something this valuable."


    "And what is that?"


    Having just left his family, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a bit speechless. He now realized that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, knowing very little about the outside world.


    "A spirit beast puppet is a method of refining the corpse of a spirit beast into a puppet. A spirit master only needs to drip their blood into the spirit core of the puppet to refine and control it," Master Magi explained patiently.


    Hearing this explanation, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up. This thing was even more powerful than the Black Spirit Shell.


    Watching Blaze Regret rush over, Master Magi couldn''t help but smile and shake his head. This spirit beast puppet had been a genuine lord grade beast in its lifetime, and its value was incredibly high.


    Sure enough, as soon as Blaze Regret inserted the token into the slot beside it, he was stunned. The densely packed green stars that lit up made his head spin.


    "One million three hundred thousand?! Why doesn''t Dark Spirit Tower just go rob someone!" Blaze Regret roared in his mind.


    "Come on, this is a lord grade enforcer. One million three hundred thousand is already quite reasonable," Master Magi said with a calm smile. "Stop staring at that spirit beast puppet. The one next to it might be more suitable for you."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret turned his head and saw a mantis shaped spirit beast puppet leaning beside the massive bull shaped one. However, it looked rather feeble.


    "This..."


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but roll his eyes. This thing wasn''t even in the same league as the previous one!


    "The Wind Splitting Mantis, an eighth rank high level Imperial, isn''t good enough for you?" Master Magi teased.


    With no other choice, Blaze Regret pulled out the token. The next moment, his brows furrowed deeply because only eight green stars lit up.


    "I thought something felt off. Turns out this spirit beast puppet was botched during its refining," Master Magi mused.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret felt utterly speechless and was about to pull the token out.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s exasperated expression, Master Magi chuckled. "I never said this spirit beast puppet couldn''t be repaired."


    Blaze Regret''s outstretched hand froze, and a sly smile appeared on his face. This was exactly what he had been waiting to hear!


    Don''t forget to buy the list i already give you before. I will teach you something new before we go adventure.


    "Alright, go ahead and see if there''s anything else of value here. Leave this spirit beast puppet to me."


    Master Magi, fully aware of Blaze Regret''s intentions, laughed and scolded him.


    The night sky was serene and profound, adorned with countless stars. Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the night clouds, leaving a long, beautiful arc of light before vanishing into the horizon.


    As he stepped out of the Dark Spirit Tower, Blaze Regret sensed numerous gazes scrutinizing him from behind. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he cautiously navigated through several streets before finally stepping out of the Dark Market''s main gate.


    It was already late at night. Walking on the silent streets, the surroundings were desolate. Occasionally, a cold wind blew by, adding a touch of chill to the night.


    "Persistent bastards."


    Sweeping a glance behind him from the corner of his eye, Blaze Regret helplessly shook his head. He didn''t want to make a move, but others were intent on taking action against him. Sure enough, Mot Kira and Hilda Kana were determined to cause him trouble tonight.


    However, just two third tier spirit warriors, aren''t they a bit too confident?


    "Heh, this kid is really a weakling. We''ve been following him for so long, and he still hasn''t noticed. He deserves to fall into our hands," Mot Kira sneered, staring at Blaze Regret''s back.


    "I''ve got my eyes on his Flame Cat. It''s so beautiful. Once we skin it and make it into fur, it''ll look amazing. Be careful when we strike," Hilda Kana said, eyes filled with greed.


    "Don''t worry, trust my skills," Mot Kira replied with a sinister laugh. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After walking a few hundred meters more, Blaze Regret abruptly stopped. He lifted his face, his gaze as sharp as a sword, pointing directly to the top of a building on the left.


    "Since you''re here, why not show yourself?" Blaze Regret''s calm voice carried a hint of coldness.


    Seeing this, Mot Kira and Hilda Kana grinned. Fool how long you take to sense us following you just now. I give you a chance, give me all item you have and item that you buy ata the Dark Spirit Tower. If not you can die here today. Choose wisely.


    "Heh, just two third tier spirit warriors do you think you can kill me?"


    Just after Blaze Regret said, Red swifly attack Mot Kira and Hilda kana. Before the attack hit Mot kira and Hilda kana a beast block Red attack.


    "Ghost Faced Scorpion"


    I did not expect you have an rare spirit beast. Blaze Regret a bit shock but remain calm. It still can''t possed danger to him.

 Chapter 97 - 97 Spirit Beast Food

    "Finish this quickly; I don''t want to waste any more time!" The atmosphere shifted as Red sensed the seriousness of the situation.


    He crouched low before suddenly leaping into the air. Blue red spiritual energy radiated from his body, gathering in front of him and condensing into three fiery orbs in an instant. The blue flames rotated silently, each sphere pulsating with spiritual energy far greater than that of the blazing sun!


    "Blue Flame Demon Fire!"


    With a whoosh, the rotation speed of the three orbs surged. Red shot forward like a lightning bolt, enveloped in a torrent of blue red energy. A shimmering tail of light trailed behind him, the speed astonishingly fast.


    As Red unleashed his attack, the Ghost Faced Scorpion retaliated with its Demon Piercing Stinger.


    "Boom!" sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A deafening impact reverberated through the air, and an invisible shockwave erupted, shattering parts of the city wall.


    Whoosh!


    In the blink of an eye, a streak of blue red light shot forth from the point of impact, causing Mot Kira''s expression to darken with dread.


    How could this happen? You''re just a second grade spirit warrior! Mot Kira struggled to comprehend the unfolding events before him.


    Red swiftly dispatched the Ghost Faced Scorpion. Mot Kira attempted to recall his creature, but it was too late. He coughed up blood as the Ghost Faced scorpion met its demise.


    With the Ghost Faced Scorpion defeated, Blaze Regret and Red vanished from sight. Moments later, Blaze Family guards arrived at the scene, only to find an empty space where the battle had taken place, surrounded by the debris of shattered walls.


    The following morning, Blaze Regret awoke to the commanding voice of Master Magi resonating in his mind. "Prepare yourself; I will teach you something before we embark on our adventure."


    The back mountain belonged to the Blaze family. Master Magi handed Blaze Regret a beginner''s recipe for Spirit Beast Food. As he glanced over the instructions, Blaze Regret understood why Master Magi had asked him to gather various items, including a hand mill.


    Blaze Regret requested Red to train and hunt spirit beasts, emphasizing the importance of not only collecting their cores but also bringing back their corpses for processing into meat.


    While Red engaged in his training, Blaze Regret settled onto the ground, pulling out various tools and materials from his void realm stone. He began to prepare beginner Spirit Beast food for Red, keen to follow Master Magi''s example.


    As Master Magi demonstrated the process, Blaze Regret diligently took notes, eager to absorb every detail. The tools he used were small and straightforward, including a pestle, a hand mill, and a small knife. These instruments allowed him to slice the ingredients, grind them into granules, or even powder, making the production of spirit beast food more efficient.


    The materials he gathered were vibrant and nutrient rich: herbs, fruits, vegetables, spices, and even soil, each carefully selected to cater to the tastes of various spirit beasts. Unlike ordinary food, spirit beast food was designed to accelerate a spirit beast''s recovery and, with prolonged consumption, could enhance their attributes significantly.


    The higher the grade of the spirit beast food, the more substantial the benefits.


    Certain special types of spirit beast food even boasted unique effects, making them highly sought after. However, crafting high grade spirit beast food required an extensive array of materials, in depth knowledge, and more intricate production processes, which naturally led to a lower success rate.


    Under Master Magi''s guidance, Blaze Regret had already learned the fundamentals of making spirit beast food and gained valuable insights. The only drawback was that he had only mastered the simplest recipes so far.


    Three essential steps were involved in making spirit beast food:


    1. Memorize the Recipe: This included the entire content and production process, names, proportions, and the timing for adding each ingredient. The water content of the materials also played a crucial role in affecting the final taste of the food.


    2. Gather Necessary Tools: For basic spirit beast food, simple tools like a pestle and hand mill sufficed; however, creating higher grade food required more sophisticated equipment.


    3. Collect the Ingredients.


    At the very first moment, Blaze Regret weighed the materials. Each material had a specific ratio that couldn''t be more or less, otherwise, it would affect the taste and effectiveness.


    After weighing, Blaze Regret began processing the materials, slicing some, grinding others into powder, and so on. He completed all these tasks with remarkable speed.


    Once all the preparations were done, Blaze Regret built a simple stove with stones and started making spirit beast food.


    With such rudimentary conditions, he could only make relatively low-grade spirit beast food.


    Next, Blaze Regret used his spiritual power to adjust the heat.


    After achieving the perfect temperature, he began adding the materials to the pot in a precise order. At specific intervals, he introduced additional ingredients.


    During this meticulous process, neither the heat nor the sequence of the materials could be neglected, otherwise, it would affect the final quality and taste of the food.


    After about a quarter of an hour, a fresh fragrance began to emerge, signaling that the food was ready.


    Blaze Regret immediately extinguished the flame. After inspecting the color, aroma, and taste of the food, he nodded in satisfaction. It was a qualified batch of spirit beast food.


    Once the food cooled down, Blaze Regret formed it into granules. To prevent the food from getting damp, he sealed them in clay jars.


    At this moment, Red came running over pitifully, holding up her scarred paws.


    After applying ointment to Red''s wounds, Blaze Regret let her rest for a while. After a quarter of an hour, he directed Red to continue her training and hunting.


    As for him, he buried himself in making more spirit beast food.


    This round of production took a full two hours. He only stopped when the sun was high in the sky. The results were naturally quite pleasing. At least Red''s spirit beast food for the next few days was secured.


    After cleaning up, Blaze Regret called off Red''s hunting and placed a bowl of spirit beast food in front of her.

 Chapter 98 - 98 Hunter And Prey 1

    Although the effect of primary fairy food was minimal, its cumulative effect over the years would be very significant.


    A morning of strenuous training and hunting had nearly exhausted Red, but upon smelling the fragrance of the spirit beast food, Red tired spirit was instantly revitalized. Red eagerly ran to the food bowl and began devouring the food in large mouthfuls.


    "Red, does it taste good?" Blaze Regret squatted beside her, stroking her small head. This batch of spirit beast food was beef flavored, which was more suitable for beast type fairies.


    Red didn''t speak; It actions spoke for Red.


    In addition to slightly aiding the growth of spirit beast, primary spirit beast food also had the effect of restoring physical strength.


    After finishing it lunch, the previously listless Red became energetic and lively again, spontaneously immersing herself in training and hunting.


    Time passed slowly, and as the golden sun began to set in the west, the horizon was tinged with hues of red, signaling dusk.


    It was only at this time that Blaze Regret called off the training and hunting session.


    "Today''s training is over. You did very well. Here, this is your reward!" Blaze Regret, true to his word, tossed a Fire elemental beast core to Red.


    Roar.


    Red let out an excited low growl and swallowed the fire elemental beast core in one gulp. Okay let go back home and rest.


    After walking a few hundred meters more, Blaze Regret abruptly stopped. He lifted his face, his gaze as sharp as a sword, pointing directly to the top of a tree on the infront.


    "Since you''re here, why not show yourself?" Blaze Regret''s calm voice carried a hint of coldness.


    "Heh, the Blaze family''s little brat has quite the keen senses."


    Atop the tree, an old man with a sinister face was smiling at Blaze Regret. A black snake slides slowly on his hand, making a hissing sound.


    "Ghost Snake Elder."


    Staring at the old man, Blaze Regret felt a chill in his heart.


    The Ghost Snake Elder was a well known figure in Veloria City. With his chief spirit beast, the Ghost Venom Snake, he had instilled fear in countless spirit masters. Years ago, there were rumors of his sudden death, but now it seemed those were indeed just rumors.


    "Heh, just to deal with a junior, I didn''t expect even you to come."


    At this moment, from behind another building, a withered figure slowly stepped out. The twisted branches cast sinister shadows on the wall.


    "Snow Azrul."


    Seeing the person standing beside the withered wood demon, a cold glint flashed through Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "And there''s another one over there."


    The Ghost Snake Elder smiled, pointing to the distance. A pure Black wind Eagle flapped its wings, hovering in mid air. Its cold eyes looked down as if to pierce through Blaze Regret''s body.


    On the Wind Eagle''s back stood a young man with his hands behind his back, his expression quite indifferent.


    "Pit Rock," Snow Azrul bared his yellowing teeth in a grin.


    "Aren''t you afraid of the Blaze family''s revenge?" Blaze Regret said coldly.


    In the past, the Ghost Snake Elder wouldn''t have dared to act so brazenly, but now his calm demeanor was quite intriguing.


    "The person who hired us isn''t afraid of Blaze Ash," the Ghost Snake Elder replied, his smile never fading, maintaining a facade of friendliness. But everyone knew that smile concealed a deadly intent.


    "Batas Shop?" Blaze Regret seemed to suddenly understand something. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Congratulations, you guessed right."


    Pit Rock, who was above the Wind Eagle, said emotionlessly, "As a reward for guessing correctly, I''ll be the one to send you to your death."


    As he spoke, a whirlwind spun beneath his feet, allowing him to momentarily hover in the air. The Wind Eagle below him flapped its pristine white wings, generating gusts of wind as it dove towards Blaze Regret.


    As it swept through the air, feather blades formed around the Wind Eagle''s body. Each feather blade, sharp as a knife, tore through the air and shot downward.


    Blaze Regret''s pupils reflected the cold glint of the blades. His expression remained calm as a frigid aura suddenly surged forth, sweeping through the air and causing the feather blades to become encased in layers of ice, significantly slowing their speed.


    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix stared blankly at the approaching Wind Eagle. Its icy wings drooped slightly before it suddenly flapped them, releasing a flurry of icy feathers that collided heavily with the feather blades, ultimately shattering them all.


    "An ice type spirit beast?"


    Pit Rock''s eyes narrowed in disbelief as he hovered in mid air, supported by the cyclone beneath his feet.


    "Old ghost, didn''t Mat Kun say he was a fire type spirit master?" Pit Rock turned to the Ghost Snake Elder, his voice urgent.


    "A dual source spirit master, interesting." The Ghost Snake Elder''s old eyes narrowed, and a surge of killing intent suddenly intensified.


    In the Spirit Beast Continent, some spirit masters would unlock a completely different attribute when they opened subsequent spirit portals. These spirit masters were known as dual source spirit masters, and they were extremely rare. Triple source spirit masters were even rarer, perhaps appearing once in a millennium.


    Correspondingly, these spirit masters were far more formidable than ordinary ones.


    "Kill him!" Pit Rock''s ruthless voice echoed through the air.


    Fortunately, the Ice Control Irenix is only at the fifth tier. If it were to grow to the eighth tier, his first tier mid level Wind Eagle would be no match at all.


    This is because the ice type spirit beast''s restraining effect on wind type spirit beasts is too significant!


    "Swish!"


    The Wind Eagle swooped down, with storm energy swirling around its beak, emitting a sharp aura contained within.


    As the cold wind blew, lifting the hair on his forehead, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face.


    "Sorry, but the roles of hunter and prey are about to switch."


    The snow white Wind Eagle swooped down like a streak of light, the air ahead of it ripped apart by its sharp beak, producing a piercing sound.


    "Buzz!"

 Chapter 99 - 99 Hunter And Prey 2

    Just as the Wind Eagle''s beak was less than half a foot away from Blaze Regret, a green tortoise shell suddenly appeared and spun rapidly. Instantly, a dull sound echoed, and the diving Wind Eagle was sent flying backward, swaying a few times before it could stabilize itself.


    "Shriek!"


    Blood covered its beak as the Wind Eagle''s mournful cries pierced the night sky, lighting up countless households.


    "How could this be?"


    Staring at the green tortoise shell surrounding Blaze Regret, Pit Rock looked as if he''d seen a ghost. But before he could issue another command, the Ice Control Irenix beside Blaze Regret moved, soaring into the sky, and tiny ice crystals slowly fell.


    "Return!" Pit Rock hurriedly called back the Wind Eagle, knowing that he had encountered a tough opponent today.


    "Return where?"


    Under Blaze Regret''s cold gaze, the edges of the Ice Control Irenix''s wings began to gather cold, hard ice, doubling the size of its wings. Then, like a sharp guillotine, it slashed out fiercely.


    "Arrogant."


    Snow Azrul snorted coldly, and the Withered Wood Demon beside him immediately waved its dried branches. Each branch extended rapidly, creating a scene that seemed to cover the sky.


    Seeing this, a cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. With a flip of his hand, a Flame red fruit appeared in his palm. He then threw it towards the branches enveloping the Ice Control Irenix from a distance.


    This fruit was called the Flame Burst Fruit, produced by the lord level spirit beast, the Flame Burst Tree. Similar to the Blue Demon Tree''s fruit, it could generate terrifying destructive power through explosions.


    However, unlike the Blue Demon Tree''s fruit, the Flame Burst Fruit is a true fire attribute fruit, significantly increasing its damage against wood type spirit beasts.


    Seeing the Flame red fruit flying towards it, the Withered Wood Demon instinctively sensed a fatal threat. Thus, its overwhelming branches quickly retracted. The Flame Burst Fruit, having missed its target, exploded in mid air.


    "Boom!"


    Scorching energy swept through, like a Flame blossom blooming in the sky.


    Though the Flame Burst Fruit missed, Blaze Regret''s face remained calm. His goal in throwing the fruit was to buy time for the Ice Control Irenix to finish off the Wind Eagle, and it seemed that he had achieved just that.


    Surrounded by ice crystals, the Ice Control Irenix swiftly caught up to the heavily injured Wind Eagle. Its sharp ice wings sliced through the Wind Eagle''s body effortlessly, like a knife through butter.


    The Wind Eagle''s pupils contracted sharply as it flew a dozen yards before its body split in two, falling helplessly to the ground. Blood poured out like a torrential rain, creating a bloody path on the ground.


    "Wind Eagle!"


    Pit Rock was furious and heartbroken. If the Wind Eagle had been in peak condition, it wouldn''t have been defeated so easily by the Ice Control Irenix. However, the Wind Eagle had first suffered a heavy blow from the Black tortoise shell, shattering its beak and causing immense pain.


    Focused only on escaping, it took no defensive measures, allowing the Ice Control Irenix to slice it in half effortlessly.


    "Swish!"


    At the moment the Ice Control Irenix killed the Wind Eagle, the ground beneath Blaze Regret''s feet suddenly cracked open. A massive figure burst forth, and a Snake claw, glistening with a dark sheen, struck at him heavily.


    As Blaze Regret looked down, he could see the Ghost faced Snake''s crimson eyes.


    "Boom!"


    With a thunderous roar, Blaze Regret''s foot stepped on the Black tortoise Shell, propelling him into the air. At the same time, the sound of rustling wind arose as a series of withered tree branches shot towards him, intending to pierce through his body.


    Blaze Regret opened his palm once more and threw another Flame Burst Fruit. This time, the fruit was aimed beneath the Black tortoise shell.


    As the Flame Burst Fruit exploded, the surging energy blast swept through the area. Blaze Regret clung tightly to the turtle shell, which propelled him into the sky before landing him on the back of the Ice Control Irenix. The branches shooting towards him were instantly reduced to dust.


    The reason Blaze Regret chose to detonate the Flame Burst Fruit in this manner was that if he had targeted either the Withered Wood Demon or the Ghost faced Snake directly, he would have been attacked by the other. Although the Black tortoise shell was tough, it was not agile. Any misstep could have turned him into a corpse within seconds.


    Looking at the cracks in his palm caused by gripping the turtle shell, Blaze Regret grimaced. He then glanced downwards and found that the explosion had left only a deep pit and some wood chips. There was no trace of the Ghost faced Snake.


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened. With a wave of his hand, the Black tortoise shell shot out like a broad shield, halting in front of the Ice Control Irenix.


    "Whoosh!"


    A sharp whistling sound rang out as a long Snake tail struck the turtle shell with immense force, pushing both the shield and the Ice Control Irenix back several yards.


    "Cunning brat."


    On the side of a tall tree, the Ghost faced Snake clung tightly to the tree branch. Its rider, the Withered Wood Elder, wore a sullen expression.


    Despite attacking twice, they had failed to kill Blaze Regret, who was merely a spirit warrior. This was a blow to the elder''s pride.


    Feeling the numerous branches approaching from below, a cold killing intent surged in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    "Ice Control Irenix, charge down!"


    Following the command, the Ice Control Irenix swiftly dove down, deftly dodging the incoming branches.


    "Old man, I was trying to ignore you, but you just had to push it."


    Eyeing Snow Azrul''s aged, gloomy face, Blaze Regret gently stroked the Void Realm Stone. The last Flame Burst Fruit appeared in his hand.


    These Flame Burst Fruits were obtained from the top floor of the Dark Spirit Tower. Each one cost forty thousand, an astronomical price for ordinary spirit masters. However, for Blaze Regret, who was about to embark on his training journey, no amount of gold coins in his token could compare.

 Chapter 100 - 100 Hunter And Prey 3 (Bonus)

    "How do you still have more!"


    Panic finally appeared on Snow Amar''s old face. The Withered Wood Demon''s greatest weakness was its speed. If the Flame Burst Fruit were thrown their way, they would be nothing but sitting ducks.


    Thus, Snow Amar quickly looked behind him but saw the Ghost faced Snake still clinging to the tree branch and Pit Rock fleeing in the opposite direction. Despair filled his heart.


    "Brat, even if I die, I''ll drag you down with me!" Snow Amar roared with a ferocious expression. "Withered Wood Demon, Giant Wood Stomp, crush that brat into meat paste!"


    Tree roots rapidly coiled together, forming a massive foot. The Withered Wood Demon used its trunk to support its heavy body and stomped down towards the path the Ice Control Irenix was about to take.


    As the wind rushed from the front, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. The Scorching Flame Cat on his shoulder quickly reverted from its Cat state back into the Blue Flame Demon Cat. Using its tail, it wrapped around the Flame Burst Fruit and leaped down.


    "Rumble!"


    As the Ice Control Irenix forcibly altered its trajectory with Blaze Regret on its back, the Blue Flame Demon Cat flicked its tail, sending the Flame Burst Fruit rolling to the exact spot where the Withered Wood Demon was about to stomp. The Blue Flame Demon Cat itself transformed into a red light and was reabsorbed into Blaze Regret''s spirit portal.


    "Go stomp in hell!"


    Blaze Regret''s hearty laughter pierced the night sky. Behind him, a surging wave of fire, like a small mushroom cloud, rose into the air.


    Boom!


    The explosive fruit burst apart, and the withered wood demon''s hard trunk instantly shattered into pieces. Waves of faint red energy ripples spread out.


    A few moments later, both the withered wood demon and Snow Amar had disappeared from the scene. On the ground, weak flames burned on the chaotic pile of broken wood.


    "Do you still want to continue?"


    Blaze Regret leaped down from the back of the Ice Control Irenix, his cold gaze fixed directly on the Ghost Snake Elder. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Why not?"


    After pondering for a moment, the Ghost Snake Elder squinted his old eyes and grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth. "The power of the explosive fruit is indeed strong, but how many do you have left? Let me guess, there shouldn''t be any left in your space stone now, right?"


    "How do you know?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly, but a cold glint flickered in his eyes.


    "Because those three explosive fruits were sold to Dark Spirit Tower by none other than me," the Ghost Snake Elder laughed, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were a rabbit unable to escape.


    "So, stand still obediently, and I might leave your body intact as an explanation to Blaze Ash."


    As the Ghost Snake Elder''s sinister voice fell, the ghost faced Snake swiftly slide up the tree, brought up a large shadow, and thunderously descended toward Blaze Regret''s position.


    "Boom!"


    The shattered tree trunk struck the Black Tortoise shell, causing it to tremble. Blaze Regret, behind the shell, quickly retreated but was still shaken, causing his blood to surge and a sharp bloodstain to appear quietly at the corner of his mouth.


    "I''d like to see how many attacks that tortoise shell of yours can withstand."


    The Ghost Snake Elder''s eyes were icy. "Ghost faced Snake, use the Demon breaking Tail to crush this kid!"


    "Hiss!"


    The ghost faced Snake raised its tail, and a dense green spiritual energy quickly spread over it, making the entire tail look as though it had been soaked in poison.


    In the next moment, the ghost faced Snake''s green tail tore through the air, creating a green arc of light, and struck the Black Tortoise shell in front of Blaze Regret solidly.


    A loud thud echoed as the Ice Control Irenix, bearing the weight of the shell, was knocked back dozens of meters before it managed to stabilize. Behind it, Blaze Regret spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.


    Indeed, the Black Tortoise Shell could withstand a full strength blow from a Imperial grade spirit beast, but Blaze Regret himself was merely a spirit warrior. Even if the ghost faced Snake didn''t kill him, the immense force transmitted through the shell would soon shake him to death.


    "Boom!"


    Seeing that his attack was effective, the Ghost Snake Elder revealed a faint smile, then commanded the ghost faced Snake to continuously pound on the Black Torties shell. The heavy thuds echoed through the night, spreading for kilometers around.


    "It''s at its limit," Blaze Regret murmured to himself. As he was struck out again by the ghost faced Snake, he waved his hand, and the Ice Control Irenix transformed into a blue light, returning to the spirit portal. The Black Torties shell, after spinning a few times, was also stored back into the void realm stone.


    "Finally giving up the struggle, are we?" The Ghost Snake Elder smiled broadly. Just as he was about to let the ghost faced Snake deliver the final blow to Blaze Regret, a blade of energy wind sliced through the air, roaring towards Blaze Regret.


    "Heh heh, I knew you hadn''t left. Since that''s the case, I''ll leave this kid''s life to you," the Ghost Snake Elder said, looking up to see Pit Rock, his face twisted with murderous intent, with a storm demon floating beside him. It was the storm demon that had released the energy wind blade.


    This storm demon was much weaker than the Wind Eagle, only of mid eighth tier spirit warrior, but it was more than enough to kill Blaze Regret.


    Calmly watching the approaching energy wind blade, Blaze Regret softly chanted, "I told you from the beginning, the roles of hunter and prey have been reversed. It''s just that before the hunter kills the prey, they always like to toy with them a bit."


    "Stop pretending to be mysterious," scoffed Pit Rock dismissively.


    "Crash!"


    Just as the energy wind blade was about to hit Blaze Regret, a metallic gleam flashed, and a hook like claw suddenly extended out, snapping shut and instantly shattering the energy wind blade.

 Chapter 101 - 101 Hunter And Prey 4

    A colossal Wind Splitting Mantis, even larger than Blaze Regret, stood silently in front of him, its gaze indifferent. Though it hadn''t evolved, its eighth tier Imperial level strength was clearly evident to all.


    "What is this monstrous thing?" Pit Rock''s expression changed.


    Before he could react, the Wind Splitting Mantis shot into the sky and, with its sharp claws, sliced the Storm Demon into several pieces in an instant.


    "Whoosh!"


    Under Pit Rock''s horrified gaze, the Wind Splitting Mantis, like a whirlwind, swiftly passed through his body. Immediately, his body split into two halves and fell powerlessly to the ground.


    "This is bad!"


    The previously composed Ghost Snake Elder''s pupils contracted sharply. Seeing the Wind Splitting Mantis darting towards him, he hurriedly commanded the ghost faced Snake to burrow into the ground. A long path quickly bulged up and extended like lightning into the distance.


    The Wind Splitting Mantis, having missed its target, hovered silently above the pit, its wings vibrating rapidly and producing a buzzing sound.


    "Little one, should we give chase?" Master Magi asked with a smile.


    "He must die," Blaze Regret said coldly. The Ghost Snake Elder was a seventh tier spirit Imperial. Given time, he could break through to become a spirit lord, posing a significant threat to the Blaze family.


    After all, Blaze Regret was about to leave with Master Magi for training. Leaving such a menace in Veloria City would make him uneasy.


    "And there''s also Mat Kun," Blaze Regret muttered to himself as he lay on the back of the Wind Splitting Mantis, his eyes filled with killing intent as they sped off. "This person must be dealt with as well, or else..." sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This time, I''ll handle it," Master Magi volunteered.


    He understood Blaze Regret''s nature. If Mat Kun remained alive, it would be a thorn in Blaze Regret''s side, disturbing his peace of mind even during his training.


    "Whoosh!"


    After Blaze Regret left the area, several streaks of red light whizzed through the air and slammed heavily onto the ground, leaving deep marks.


    "Damn it, does that brat Blaze Regret have a death wish, running around like this in the middle of the night!" Blaze Peter, with an anxious expression, jumped down from the back of the Flame Wing Lion and looked around. When he saw the blood on the ground, his face immediately turned pale.


    "It''s Blaze Regret''s blood," Blaze Ash walked over and sensed the fire attribute factors contained within it. He spoke softly, but then a hint of confusion flashed across his face. "Why is there also ice attribute spiritual power..."


    "Who cares about fire attribute or ice attribute, the important thing is, where is Blaze Regret!" Blaze Peter looked at the devastated forest, cursing under his breath while feeling a sudden shock. "What the hell happened here? And this huge pit, damn it, the broken wood on the ground seems to be from a Imperial level Withered Wood Monster."


    "No signs of life," Blaze Ash picked up a piece of broken wood and casually flicked it, watching as the particles fell from his fingers.


    "There''s a corpse over there," Blaze Peter looked into the distance and suddenly took a cold breath. "That person is Pit Rock, right? How did he end up like this, torn in half and dead so horribly?"


    The members of the Blaze family who rushed over all had shocked expressions. Spirit Imperial were already rare in Veloria City, and tonight, they were lying dead on the ground so casually.


    "Clean up the area, don''t leave too much evidence," Blaze Ash clapped his hands and calmly said, "The rest of you, disperse and if you find Blaze Regret, immediately communicate using the sound transmitting spirals."


    "Yes!"


    Countless members of the Blaze family dressed in white flooded into the streets, spreading out to every corner of Veloria City.


    Tonight, Veloria City was destined to be restless.


    The night forest was especially quiet. Under the twinkling stars, the moonlight was hazy, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently. Everything seemed so serene. However, in the next moment, the silence of the forest was instantly shattered.


    "Clang!"


    On the slightly damp ground, a mound of earth suddenly bulged. A sinister black figure drilled out from it, startling a few small sleeping beasts, causing them to scatter and flee.


    "Damn it, how does that kid have such a high level spirit puppet? Mat Kun, you''ve really put me in a tough spot!"


    On the back of a Ghost Faced Snake, the old Ghost Snake Elder patted the dust off his sleeves, cursing incessantly, "Luckily, I ran fast. Otherwise, I would have been in big trouble today. If I had known, I would have struck directly and killed him with one blow. None of this would have happened."


    This place was far beyond the range of Veloria City. The old Ghost Snake Elder believed that even a Spirit Lord couldn''t trace his tracks, let alone just a Spirit warrior.


    "However, going back like this would make it hard to explain to Mat Kun. It''s better to find an opportunity tomorrow to ambush him and kill him before he releases his spirit puppet," a ruthless gleam flashed in the old Ghost Snake Elder''s eyes.


    "Swish!"


    Just as the old Ghost Snake Elder was about to turn around and head back to Veloria City from another path, a black shadow flashed like lightning, hovering in mid air and instantly blocking his retreat.


    "Senior Ghost Snake, delaying until tomorrow is so pointless. Today''s matters should be resolved today."


    On the back of a Wind Splitting Mantis, Blaze Regret looked down with a gentle smile. The fierce cold wind made his black robe flutter.


    "How did you follow me!"


    Stunned for a moment, the old Ghost Snake Elder''s face showed an incredulous expression as he exclaimed in surprise.


    "You should ask your Ghost faced Snake."


    Pointing at the tail of the Ghost faced Snake, Blaze Regret smiled faintly.


    The old Ghost Snake elder licked his parched lips with difficulty, and then his gaze shifted downward. He saw that, at some unknown time, a red bead had been embedded in the tail of the Ghost faced Snake, emitting a faint spiritual energy fluctuation.

 Chapter 102 - 102 Hunter And Prey 5

    "The Top Bead of the Direction Tree?" The old Ghost Snake elder''s heart trembled. With his vast experience, he immediately recognized the item.


    Raising his aged face, the old Ghost Snake elder was quite moved. Could it be that when the ancient Ghost faced Snake struck the Black Torties Shell, Blaze Regret had already calculated that Pit Rock would come out to ambush, and afterward, he would seize the opportunity to escape?


    But how could that be? Just a young kid, how could he have such meticulous planning!


    The Ghost faced Snake''s tail merged, crushing the red bead into powder. The old Ghost Snake elder laughed angrily, "Good, very good. Kid, it seems I underestimated you. But are you so confident that you can keep me here today?"


    "How would I know without trying?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a smile.


    Hearing this, the old Ghost Snake elder''s face turned grim as he leaped off the Ghost faced Snake onto a tree branch, causing it to tremble slightly.


    The Ghost faced Snake then raised its long Snake tail and struck out violently. The sharp blade at the tip of the tail was a dark green color.


    "Snake Tail Needle?"


    Blaze Regret''s expression tightened slightly, and he immediately summoned the Ice Control Irenix, distancing himself from the battlefield.


    The Snake Tail Needle was the signature spiritual technique of the Ghost faced Snake. It could concentrate all its venom into the metal blade at the tail. This venom was potent enough to take down a spirit beast of the same level.


    Even with the Black Tortoise shell, Blaze Regret couldn''t completely ignore the poison of the Ghost faced Snake. A mere touch of the venom would be enough to incapacitate him, given his strength as a second tier Spirit warrior.


    "Clang!"


    The violent strike of the tail needle landed heavily on the crossed blades of the Wind Splitting Mantis. A ripple of light green poison quickly spread out, turning the branches and leaves it touched into a dark green color, which then disintegrated into powder when the wind blew.


    Although the Wind Splitting Mantis''s twin blades turned faintly green, being a spirit puppet, the poison didn''t harm it much.


    "Swish!"


    The extended its arms, and the sharp claws of the Wind Splitting Mantis brought forth a cold gleam, slashing horizontally at the Ghost faced Snake''s tail. With a clanging sound, sparks flew in all directions.


    With a painful screech, the Ghost faced Snake charged forward with a fierce expression. Its metal blade, infused with toxic spiritual energy, clashed repeatedly with the Wind Splitting Mantis''s blades.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    The sound of metal striking metal echoed, and Blaze Regret''s expression grew increasingly serious. Although the tier of the Ghost faced Snake was slightly lower than that of the Wind Splitting Mantis, it had one significant advantage: it could use spiritual techniques.


    The Wind Splitting Mantis, after all, was merely a spirit puppet and couldn''t retain spiritual energy within its body, making it incapable of performing spiritual techniques.


    "Heh, I told you, today, you won''t be able to kill me." Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The old Ghost Snake elder extended his withered right hand, surrounded by dark green spiritual energy. At the same time, the Ghost faced Snake delivered a heavy blow, sending the Wind Splitting Mantis flying backward. Immediately, its Snake tail lifted, and sharp venomous metal blade at it tail appeared out of thin air, swirling madly around it.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Ghost faced Snake flicked its long tail, and the venomous metal blade shot out instantly, piercing tiny round holes in the Wind Splitting Mantis''s wings.


    Seeing this, the Ghost faced Snake let out a pleased screech. Just as it was about to gather more venomous metal blade, the Wind Splitting Mantis soared into the sky. Then, like a falling missile, it plummeted rapidly and collided heavily with the Snake''s metal blade.


    "Bang!"


    Although the Ghost faced Snake was far stronger than the Wind Splitting Mantis, the impact didn''t break its metal tail. However, it did cause the Snake to retract its metal blade in pain, as it wasn''t immune to pain like the Wind Splitting Mantis.


    "Cut off its tail," Blaze Regret commanded coldly.


    The spread its arms and flew swiftly towards the Snake. Its cold, gleaming claws mercilessly slashed at the Ghost faced Snake''s tail, causing droplets of dark green blood to splatter.


    "Hmph, Ghost faced Snake, tear off its claws," the old Ghost Snake elder said with a venomous tone.


    Hearing this, the Ghost faced Snake''s limbs moved rapidly, attempting to turn around and pin down the Wind Splitting Mantis to tear off its sharp claws.


    "Stay put!"


    At this moment, Blaze Regret''s calm voice suddenly echoed, and a layer of solid ice emanated from the Ice Control Irenix in front of him, turning the grass and trees on the ground into sparkling ice sculptures.


    The ice spread to the feet of the Ghost faced Snake and quickly climbed upward.


    The Ghost faced Snake hurriedly lifted its limbs, shattering the ice instantly. But at that precise moment, the shining blades of the Wind Splitting Mantis had already slashed at its tail.


    "Slash!"


    Dark green blood spurted out as the Snake''s tail fell to the ground with a thud.


    Writhing in pain, the Ghost faced Snake flailed its broken tail wildly, forcing the Wind Splitting Mantis, which intended to slash a few more times, to retreat several feet.


    "It''s just a thoughtless puppet. Ghost faced Snake, use the Toxic Torrent and corrode it!"


    Seeing the severe injury of the Ghost faced Snake, the Ghost Snake elder''s voice was filled with venomous rage.


    The Snake''s broken tail came together slightly, gathering dark green energy. The Ghost faced Snake''s broken tail then hammered heavily onto the ground, releasing that decaying energy into the earth.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the next moment, the ground beneath the Wind Splitting Mantis seemed to transform into a dark green pool. As the pool churned, a roughly ten foot wide dark green pillar of water shot skyward, radiating an extremely terrifying, decaying aura.


    A dark green water column shot up with an astonishing speed. Around the water column, a foul smelling liquid seemed to drip down, causing any vegetation it touched to wither instantly.

 Chapter 103 - 103 Hunter And Prey (Final)

    In mid air, the Wind Splitting Mantis'' wings vibrated fiercely, creating a buzzing sound. It then surged through the dark green water column, though half of its body had completely disintegrated, evidently corroded by the toxic water.


    "You didn''t dodge?"


    The pupils of the Ghost Snake Elder constricted suddenly. He had assumed that Blaze Regret would be reluctant to lose his spirit puppet and would have it retreat before being hit by the venomous cascade, thus giving him time to escape. Clearly, he had miscalculated.


    In the distance, Blaze Regret watched the Wind Splitting Mantis flying towards the Ghost Faced Snake, his expression calm.


    "It''s just a spirit puppet. As long as I can eliminate the Ghost Snake Elder, it''s a price worth paying. Moreover, I hadn''t planned on taking it along for the upcoming training anyway."


    "Swish!"


    A sharp sound of slicing wind echoed as the Wind Splitting Mantis reached the Ghost Faced Snake. Its scythe like claws, resembling the grim reaper''s, fully extended and slashed down in an intersecting motion.


    The Ghost Faced Snake, having just unleashed its venomous cascade, had clearly exhausted much of its spiritual power. In its hurried defense, its broken tail failed to provide any resistance and were split open by the Wind Splitting Mantis.


    "Hiss!"


    The Ghost Faced Snake''s painful cry was abruptly cut off as the Wind Splitting Mantis'' claw decapitated it swiftly, piercing through and skewering its body.


    At the moment of the Ghost Faced Snake''s death, the Ghost Snake Elder spat a mouthful of blood. He looked up at the gleaming tail of the Wind Splitting Mantis, terror written on his face. "I am a member of the Blazing Gold Batas Shop. Is your Blaze family looking to make an enemy of the Angsana Pavilion?"


    "Don''t worry, Mat Kun will be joining you soon."


    Ignoring the Ghost Snake Elder''s threat, Blaze Regret commanded the Wind Splitting Mantis to deliver the final blow.


    The Ghost Snake Elder''s eyes widened in disbelief as a line of blood quickly appeared across his throat.


    Moments later, the noisy forest finally fell silent once more.


    Confirming that the Ghost Snake Elder was dead, Blaze Regret severed his connection with the Wind Splitting Mantis and leaned against a thick tree trunk, exhaling deeply.


    "Aren''t you upset?" Master Magi glanced at the fallen Wind Splitting Mantis and looked at Blaze Regret in surprise.


    "You can''t rely on that thing to defeat Katis Van," Blaze Regret said with a smile, though the curve of his lips was rather cold.


    From start to finish, he hadn''t forgotten the scene that unfolded on the plaza during his spiritual awakening. If anything had gone wrong back then, he might have ended up just like the Ghost Snake Elder on the ground, nothing more than a cold corpse.


    "Hehe, well said," Master Magi laughed with satisfaction. If Blaze Regret had chosen to keep that spirit puppet, he would have doubted his own judgment. Fortunately, Blaze Regret did not disappoint him.


    Walking slowly to the Ghost Snake Elder''s corpse, a fiery glow flashed from Blaze Regret''s shoulder. With a light probe of its Cat like claw, a gust of flame swept through, and the Ghost Snake Elder''s Void Realms stone fell into Blaze Regret''s hand with a snap.


    "Quite a bit of assets here. This pile must be worth about a hundred thousand gold coins." Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret let out a cold laugh. Beside the coins was a token exclusive to the Blazing Gold Batas Shop, which he tossed aside as garbage without a second thought.


    Other than the gold coins, the Ghost Snake Elder''s void Realms stone contained only a few Qi-replenishing pills.


    For ordinary spirit masters, any gold they had would typically be used to enhance their spirit beasts'' abilities, so they usually didn''t possess much wealth. Having a hundred thousand gold coins, like the Ghost Snake Elder, was considered moderately well off.


    "Time to head back," Blaze Regret said.


    Blaze Regret lifted his face and looked at the sky, which was beginning to pale slightly. His soft sigh echoed through the forest.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret had no idea what chaos had erupted in Veloria City.


    "Have you heard? Someone found half of Pit Rock''s body on top of a house next to Fourth Street. It was a gruesome sight!"


    "Pit Rock? Isn''t he the genius of Veloria City? He advanced from a spirit novice to a spirit warrior in just a few years, and now he''s dead? Is that true?"


    "Of course it''s true. When I opened my window this morning, the place was swarming with people from the Blaze family, all looking murderous. It scared me into closing the window right away. Later, I heard that the young master of the Blaze family was ambushed and killed last night!"


    "Wow, this is explosive news. With Blaze Ash''s personality, this is going to blow up big time!"


    Whether on the streets or in the taverns, everyone was fervently discussing the event, spittle flying as they speculated about what had happened the previous night.


    "Patriarch, why hasn''t the Great Elder returned yet?"


    Atop the Snow family''s tall building, Snow Ahmad looked down at the constantly emerging crowd, his brows slightly furrowed.


    "Who knows? Maybe after taking out that Blaze Regret kid, he''s hiding somewhere to avoid being discovered by Blaze Ash and his people."


    Snow Fazlin stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the anxious faces of the Blaze family members, a cruel smile playing at the corner of his mouth.


    With Snow Azrul''s strength, eliminating Blaze Regret, a second tier spirit warrior, would be a piece of cake.


    "Good riddance!"


    Beside him, Snow Ahmad laughed heartily, "It''s a pity I didn''t get to see that kid''s corpse; otherwise, I''d chop him into mincemeat and throw it into the alley to feed the dogs."


    "But how do we explain Pit Rocks death?"


    Thinking about this, Snow Fazlin showed some confusion in his eyes.


    "Who knows? Maybe he provoked some big shot and got casually killed," Snow Ahmad said indifferently.

 Chapter 104 - 104 Andrew Wilson

    "That''s the only explanation," Snow Fazlin nodded slowly. After all, people dying was a common occurrence in Veloria City; an occasional spirit warrior''s fall was not out of the ordinary.


    On the street.


    "I heard that several spirit Imperials ambushed and killed Blaze Regret last night. Is that true?" Sky Nasrul looked at the white figures flashing before him, feeling quite shocked.


    It was hard for him to imagine that someone he had fought alongside not long ago was now separated by life and death.


    "I thought he was someone impressive, but he turned out to be just a piece of trash, dying just like that."


    Behind Sky Nasrul, beside Sky Diana, a proud looking young man sneered disdainfully.


    "Andrew Wilson, how can you talk like that?" Sky Diana, upon hearing this, frowned slightly. The look in her beautiful eyes at the young man beside her was full of displeasure.


    No matter what, Blaze Regret had saved her and Sky Nasrul several times and had brought some benefits to the Sky family from the Angsana Pavilion. Hearing Andrew Wilson speak so ill of Blaze Regret, she couldn''t help but feel some instinctive disgust.


    "Diana, I''m just curious how that kid managed to defeat Snow Amar. You know, Snow Amar and I have played together since we were kids, and I know his strength very well. For someone who just stepped into the realm of spirit warrior to kill his Withered Wood Demon, he must have used some despicable means."


    Seeing Sky Diana''s face suddenly turn cold, Andrew Wilson''s hostility towards Blaze Regret grew even stronger, and his words became even more venomous.


    Sky Diana''s rosy lips moved slightly. She turned her face away, ultimately choosing not to retort.


    Now, she only cared about whether Blaze Regret was still alive. Through the recent events, she had clearly recognized Andrew Wilson''s nature, so she couldn''t be bothered to say a word.


    Seeing this, Sky Nasrul let out a bitter laugh. Indeed, when comparing people to each other, the difference was vast. Blaze Regret was also very proud, but his pride was internal, unlike Andrew Wilson''s, which was always on display.


    In simple terms, it''s arrogance.


    But being a fourth rank spirit warrior, did he have the right to be arrogant in front of Blaze Regret...


    Sky Nasrul''s eyes flickered. After fully refining the Essense Milk, Blaze Regret''s Blue Flame Demon Cat should have advanced to the second rank, right? If he''s still alive, even facing Andrew Wilson, he might not be without a chance of winning.


    "What a pity, I wanted to teach that kid a lesson myself. Now it seems, I don''t even need to step in personally."


    As if not sensing the change in the atmosphere, Andrew Wilson continued muttering to himself, with a rather regretful expression on his face.


    "Second Elder, we''ve searched everywhere but found no trace of Blaze Regret."


    Blaze Tut, riding on a Black Wind Panther, brought up a trail of dust and wind as he quickly approached Blaze Peter, his voice extremely bitter.


    Even though he didn''t want to believe it, according to Blaze Ash''s analysis, at least three spirit Imperials appeared last night. Under such circumstances, Blaze Regret was likely in grave danger.


    "If you can''t find him, keep looking. If you can''t find him in the city and back mountion at back of Blaze Family, look outside the city!" Blaze Peter glared at Blaze Tut and roared.


    "Yes." Blaze Tut nodded bitterly, slapped his Black Wind Panther, and was about to turn around.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a faint whooshing sound suddenly came from a distance, followed by an increasingly rapid sound of something cutting through the air. A Blue red, demonic figure darted over at an incredible speed and gracefully landed in the middle of the scene.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Regret, sitting on the back of the Blue Flame Demon Cat, looked around at the many astonished faces and frowned in confusion.


    "You... you''re alive?" Blaze Peter stared intently at Blaze Regret, his breathing becoming noticeably rapid. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "When did I ever die?" Blaze Regret said with a wry smile, but he quickly understood. The commotion from last night had indeed been quite significant.


    "Hey, are you Blaze Regret?"


    Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from one side of the road. Andrew Wilson shout over, his eyes briefly glancing at the poised Sky Diana, his desire to show off intensifying. "I thought you were dead. Didn''t expect you to be so lucky and survive."


    "Who are you?" Blaze Regret looked at the approaching Andrew Wilson in surprise.


    "Oh, I''m a friend of Snow Amar," Andrew Wilson said arrogantly upon seeing that Blaze Regret was only a second rank spirit warrior. "I''m not sure what underhanded methods you used to defeat Snow Amar, but if possible, I''d like to see them."


    Though he seemed to be negotiating, Andrew Wilson had already summoned a beast entirely covered in crackling lightning, a Thunder Mammoth. Lightning arcs danced rapidly across its pristine tusks.


    The White Thunder Tusk, a mid fourth rank spirit beast of the warrior class. Andrew Wilson had once used it to kill a fifth rank spirit warrior, showcasing its considerable strength.


    "Ridiculous!"


    The joy in Blaze Peter''s heart slowly faded, replaced by anger. How shameless for a fourth rank spirit warrior to bully a second rank spirit warrior!


    "Andrew Wilson, what exactly do you want?"


    Sky Diana was furious. She had initially thought Andrew Wilson was just talking big, but she hadn''t expected him to actually challenge Blaze Regret, a mere second rank spirit warrior, as a fourth rank spirit warrior.


    "This is going too far," Sky Nasrul also shook his head.


    Seeing this, the onlookers around them also showed displeasure in their eyes. If it were Blaze Regret challenging Andrew Wilson, one could say he had courage. But for the strong to bully the weak, what kind of skill was that?


    Feeling the many needle like gazes on his back, Andrew Wilson''s face changed. But soon, all his inner embarrassment turned into anger, directed entirely at Blaze Regret. "Do you dare or not?"

 Chapter 105 - 105 WhiteThunder Tusk

    With a helpless sigh, Blaze Regret stroked the wiggling little ears of the Blue Flame Demon Cat, extended his foot, and gently stepped onto the ground.


    "Alright, but I have something to take care of first."


    As he spoke, Blaze Regret''s hand brushed across the air stone. A terrifying Snake head suddenly flashed out and crashed to the ground with a clang. Its dark green blood had long since solidified, making it look extremely horrifying.


    "The head of a Ghost faced Snake?"


    Seeing this, everyone couldn''t help but exclaim in shock, their voices filled with astonishment.


    The number of Ghost faced Snakes was not exactly rare, but they were certainly not common. In the entire Veloria City, the only one known to have a Ghost faced Snake was the long deceased Elder Ghost Snake!


    "A imperial level spirit beast''s head? Impossible!"


    Staring at the ground, Andrew Wilson shook his head repeatedly, his face full of shock. The once imposing White Thunder Tusk now stood there trembling, its surrounding lightning dissipating.


    "Now we can proceed."


    Blaze Regret smiled at Andrew Wilson, while the Blue Flame Demon Cat let out a low growl. The Blue flames on its body suddenly surged, and its aura was significantly stronger than it had been the previous day!


    During the journey back, Blaze Regret had refined the Heart Essensen Milk on the Blue Flame Demon Cat''s back, which naturally led to a breakthrough in his strength to the third rank. Through spiritual power feedback, the Blue Flame Demon Cat reached the same level as Blaze Regret.


    So, at present, the Blue Flame Demon Cat was a third rank high level warrior grade beast.


    In fact, when it mutated into the Blue Flame Demon Cat, the Red had already reached this level. However, Blaze Regret was concerned that breaking through too quickly would make its spiritual power unstable, so he had delayed until now.


    Blaze Regret had once read in a book that a spirit warrior''s Wind Wolf in Veloria City had luckily mutated into a Black Wind Wolf. As a result, it directly advanced from a fourth rank intermediate warrior grade to a ninth rank high level warrior grade. The spiritual power within it was completely out of control and took half a year to stabilize.


    Clearly, Blaze Regret didn''t have that much time to waste. A steady approach was the best strategy.


    "How is it third rank? Wasn''t it first rank?"


    Andrew Wilson''s eye twitched, and his mind was slightly dazed. Just yesterday, Snow Amar had told him that Blaze Regret''s Blue Flame Demon Cat was only first rank. How did it become third rank in just one day?


    "Are you going to fight or not?" Blaze Regret looked at Andrew Wilson with dissatisfaction. It was Andrew Wilson who had challenged him first, so why was he hesitating now?


    "Can''t you see? He wanted to use his fourth rank White Thunder Tusk to bully your first rank Blue Flame Demon Cat. But now that it''s third rank, he''s chickened out."


    Although surprised at how quickly the Blue Flame Demon Cat had advanced, Sky Nasrul still shouted provocatively. He had long been displeased with Andrew Wilson.


    "Nonsense!"


    Caught in a difficult position, Andrew Wilson''s eyes suddenly turned fierce. He roared, "White Thunder Tusk, use Thunder Split and take down his Blue Flame Demon Cat!"


    With lingering fear, White Thunder Tusk retracted its gaze from the Ghost faced Snake''s head. Stamping its foot, lightning crackled around its pristine tusks as it charged forward with the force of an earthquake.


    Reflected in its pupils, the flickering lightning approached. The Red calmly watched the incoming White Thunder Tusk. Just as the sharp tusks were about to make contact, its figure blurred and split into two, allowing White Thunder Tusk to pass through the gap in an instant.


    As White Thunder Tusk roared past, the Red rejoined behind it. Leaping into the air, its fiery tail, sharp as a blade, descended like moonlight and slashed vertically across White Thunder Tusk''s massive body.


    "Boom!"


    White Thunder Tusk''s skin was incredibly tough, and though it didn''t bleed, its body instantly collapsed to its knees. Struggling to rise, it failed to stand and continued to quiver on the ground.


    "You lost."


    Gently stroking the fluffy head of the Red, Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice rang out mercilessly.


    Staring at the fallen White Thunder Tust, Andrew Wilson''s body trembled slightly, almost collapsing to the ground. He had thought that even if he couldn''t win, he could at least fight to a draw. However, the swift and decisive strike from Red shattered his illusions.


    "Heh heh, I knew he win." Sky Nasrul grinned wickedly, evidently in a great mood after having just tricked Andrew Wilson. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That spiritual beast looks like a Blue Flame Demon Cat. To think it could defeat a fourth tier White Thunder Tust in an instant with its third tier power."


    "Yeah, it''s definitely a Blue Flame Demon Cat. Someone once found a Blue Flame Demon Cat cub, and a passing expert bought it for a high price of 400,000 gold coins."


    "My God, 400,000 gold coins! I might never make that much in my lifetime. Speaking of which, Andrew Wilson is really weak. He couldn''t even withstand a single hit. How embarrassing."


    After a brief silence, the murmuring of the onlookers erupted with voices filled with disdain, all gazing at Andrew Wilson with contempt.


    Retracting his White Thunder Tust with a face ashen, Andrew Wilson hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, fleeing hastily amidst a chorus of mockery.


    "This Void realms Stone is for you." Blaze Regret walked up to Sky Nasrul, casually tossing the Void realms Stone that belonged to the Ghost Snake Elder, which Sky Nasrul caught.


    "Generous, I like it. But how did the Ghost Snake Elder die?" Sky Nasrul asked, joyfully caressing the space stone, then suddenly looked at Blaze Regret with a puzzled expression.


    "That''s a secret." Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile.


    "I find it harder to see through you now." Sky Diana smiled gracefully, but a subtle shock flitted through her beautiful eyes. She had thought that refining the Essense Milk would allow her to catch up with Blaze Regret, but in just one day, the latter had already become a third tier spirit warrior.

 Chapter 106 - 106 Mat Kun Dead 1

    "Who exactly did this?" Sky Nasrul''s playful expression disappeared, replaced by a serious demeanor.


    With the Blaze Family''s Vengeful Nature, Veloria City is Unlikely to Be Peaceful for Some Time


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret did not respond; he merely shook his head slightly, a sharp glint flashing through his dark eyes.


    "Ghost Snake Elder, very well."


    In front of the Blaze family mansion, Blaze Ash waved his hand, and blazing flames surged forth, reducing the Ghost Faced Snake''s head to ashes. His calm voice carried a hint of coldness: "Go to the Angsana Pavilion Auction. It''s time to settle some scores."


    That night.


    Outside, the sound of insects chirping filled the air. Blaze Regret sat at the table, his mouth stuffed full of food, mumbling, "I''ve consumed too much spiritual power in the past few days. If I don''t replenish it, I feel like I won''t be able to hold on."


    Opposite him, Red was also tearing into the spirit beast food on his plate, the crunching sounds echoing throughout the room.


    "Doesn''t it need to eat?" Blaze Regret glanced at the Ice Control Irenix floating in mid air, seemingly lost in thought, and asked in confusion.


    "It does, but the Ice Control Irenix only eats pure cold ice and ice attribute spirit cores," Master Magi replied in a flat tone, flipping through an old book.


    Half an hour later, Blaze Regret wiped his mouth, letting out a satisfied sigh. Red, too, was patting his round belly, lying on the table, unwilling to move.


    "Aren''t you concerned about over there?" Master Magi asked playfully, pointing in the direction of the Angsana Pavilion Auction.


    "What''s the point of being concerned? At most, Mat Kun will suffer a great loss and have to compensate for some things. After all, the Angsana Pavilion''s reputation is on the line. They can''t completely abandon Mat Kun, or they would lose face," Blaze Regret replied nonchalantly, slumping in his chair.


    "You see things quite clearly," Master Magi smiled, lifting his eyelids slightly to glance at the deep night outside the window, his eyes narrowing: "So, some things have to be done by us."


    In the Pitch Black Night Sky, a Streak of Azure Light Flashed


    After the commotion of the day, Veloria City had once again returned to its usual tranquility. No one would have imagined that a rare Ice Control Irenix was currently soaring above their heads.


    "Snow Ahmad, are you saying that you also sent Snow Azrul to kill that brat Blaze Regret last night?"


    In the attic of the Batas Shop, Mat Kun gazed darkly at Snow Ahmad, who was lightly tapping the table while seated in a chair.


    "Indeed, but Snow Azrul hasn''t returned yet. I fear the worst for him," Snow Ahmad''s voice was cold, as if Snow Azrul''s death did not stir any emotion within him.


    "Hmph, just a fifth rank spirit Imperial, so be it if he''s dead. The important question is, how did they die?" Mat Kun paced back and forth, deeply agitated.


    Those were three genuine spirit Imperial, not mere cabbages. Even if they were to be killed, it shouldn''t have been possible to kill all of them without a single survivor.


    "I suspect Blaze Ash acted in secret. Otherwise, there''s no other explanation," Snow Ahmad said, eyes gleaming with a cold light.


    "Blaze Ash, it''s always Blaze Ash!"


    Mat Kun clenched his fists tightly, exclaiming angrily, "He caused trouble in the imperial capital, and now he''s causing trouble here too. Does he think I, Mat Kun, am dead?"


    "Manager Mat, since the situation has already occurred, there''s no point in saying more. Why don''t we join forces to wipe out the Blaze family from Veloria City?" Snow Ahmad suggested softly.


    "How do we join forces? I still have two spirit Imperial here, but you know the rules of the Angsana Pavilion. If they find out I''m targeting local forces, my days as the manager of the Batas Shop would be numbered," Mat Kun said, slamming his fist onto the table in frustration.


    Although the Ghost Snake Elder had fallen, he was a force Mat Kun had cultivated in secret. Even if the Angsana Pavilion wanted to investigate, they wouldn''t be able to trace it back to him.


    "If we can''t do it openly, then we do it covertly. The Atlas Shop manages medicinal herbs and elixirs, while the Batas Shop is responsible for spirit beasts and spirit crystals," Snow Ahamad said with a sinister smile.


    "Agreed!"


    Mat Kun''s eyes lit up. "Tomorrow, I''ll send people to secretly destroy the Blaze family''s spirit beast acquisition sites, and sabotage their back mountain. Without a supply source, I want to see how long the Blaze family can keep up!"


    Mat Kun''s plan was not without merit. If they disrupted the Blaze family''s supply under the guise of business, the Angsana Pavilion would hardly have any grounds to intervene. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t forget, the Blaze family still has two alchemists," Snow Ahmad reminded.


    "Hmph, just two weaklings. I don''t believe Blaze Ash can stay at the Blaze residence all the time. As soon as he shows the slightest mistake, those two will meet a mysterious and tragic end within the Blaze family," Mat Kun sneered.


    "If Blaze Regret dies, it''s manageable. But if Park Lily dies, we won''t even need to act; the Angsana Pavilion won''t spare the Blaze family," Snow Ahmad said with a cunning smile.


    "Haha, Brother Snow, I knew this Veloria City would be ours sooner or later!" Mat Kun laughed heartily.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, before his laughter could fade, a golden beam of light suddenly descended, slowly rotating. Within the beam, Mat Kun''s body disintegrated into golden particles at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, vanished.


    "Clang!"


    The teacup Snow Ahmad had just picked up fell to the ground. He stared ahead in a daze, and moments later, a terrified scream erupted from him.


    "Mr. Blaze, please don''t make it difficult for us. Mat Kun is, after all, a person of the Angsana House. If we hand him over just like that, it will break many people''s hearts."

 Chapter 107 - 107 Departure (Bonus 1)

    In the VIP room behind the Angsana Pavilion Auction House, Alif Azlin looked at Blaze Ash, who was sitting there with a cold expression. A bitter smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of her lips.


    "Then just tell Mut Abu that I killed Mat Kun, and see if he dares to protect him."


    After a moment of silence, Blaze Ash''s icy voice slowly emerged.


    As Blaze Ash''s voice echoed, Alif Azlin''s beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and she was momentarily lost in thought.


    Mut Abu is the master of the Angsana Pavilion, a prominent figure even in the heart of the empire. Hearing this name from the mouth of a spirit Lord from a remote small city felt like a dream.


    "You... know Master Mut?" Alif Azlin asked cautiously.


    "Didn''t Mut Abu tell you that when coming to Veloria City, you should first establish good relations with the Blaze family?" Blaze Ash raised his head and looked at Alif Azlin with a faint smile.


    Pressing her red lips together, Alif Azlin smiled bitterly. No wonder Mut Abu had previously instructed her to take extra care of the Blaze family. It now seemed that he and Blaze Ash were old acquaintances.


    "Alright, I just came over to say hello, to give that guy Mut Abu some face."


    With that, Blaze Ash stood up and walked towards the door, his gaze filled with killing intent directed at the Batas Shop.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, a piercing scream resounded through the night, exceptionally loud.


    "It''s coming from the Batas Shop." Alif Azlin''s pretty face changed slightly.


    Moments later, Alif Azlin and Blaze Ash appeared in the attic of the Batas Shop, gazing at a bit of golden powder on the floor.


    "It''s the impurities produced after the wind attribute spirit portal shattered." Blaze Ash crouched down, rubbed the golden powder between his fingers, and wore an indescribable expression on his face.


    "You mean, Mat Kun is already dead?" Alif Azlin covered her slightly parted lips with her delicate hand, her face filled with disbelief.


    This was a spirit Lord, after all, and he was silently taken out in his own territory.


    Standing up, Blaze Ash clasped his hands behind his back, his gaze slowly sweeping across the room until it rested on the teacup on the table.


    "It''s warm."


    Alif Azlin gently touched it, her beautiful eyes flickering. "Including the shattered teacup, it means there were two people in this room just now."


    "Mat Kun is dead, so what about the other person?" Alif Azlin felt a headache coming on and her eyes kept glancing at Blaze Ash.


    "Don''t look at me. If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn''t need to do it secretly." Blaze Ash chuckled. He knew Alif Azlin suspected him, but with Mat Kun''s mere third level spirit Lord strength, if Blaze Ash wanted to kill him, it wouldn''t be this troublesome.


    Thus, Mat Kun''s death became an unsolved mystery, though in Blaze Ash''s view, the guy deserved it. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At the fifth watch, all the bewildered staff in the Batas Shop were cleared out by people from the Batas Shop. The entire shop was completely sealed off, with no one allowed to enter.


    In the courtyard, Ice Control Irenix gently fluttered her wings, and Blaze Regret slid down from her back.


    "Hehe, that was exciting."


    Blaze Regret returned to his room, closed the doors and windows, took off his shoes, and jumped directly onto the bed, roughly rubbing Red''s head. "You missed out by not seeing it. That was a spirit Lord, turned to ash in an instant."


    Bleary eyed, Red glanced at Blaze Regret, who looked excited. With a flick of its Cat paw, it push Blaze Regret''s hand away, uninterested, and closed its eyes, immediately falling back to sleep.


    "It''s just a spirit Lord, no need to get so worked up." Master Magi shook his head with a faint smile, then resumed flipping through the tattered book in his hands, producing a rustling sound as if he would never finish reading it.


    "Can''t be bothered with you."


    Blaze Regret lay on the bed, hands behind his head, a determined look suddenly appearing in his eyes.


    He had thought that being a spirit Lord was already strong enough, but in Master Magi''s hands, there was no chance to resist. It seemed that even a spirit Lord wasn''t enough on this continent.


    "I have to become even stronger."


    Blaze Regret mumbled to himself and unknowingly fell asleep.


    When Blaze Regret woke up, it was broad daylight. Warm sunlight streamed in, casting its glow on his face.


    "Do you need to inform your father?"


    Looking at Blaze Regret packing his things, Master Magi asked softly.


    After placing the last item into the Void Realms stone, Blaze Regret washed his face and shook his head. "Leaving a note will be enough. Even if my father agrees, the Second Elder definitely won''t."


    Master Magi''s secret was something he couldn''t share. With the Second Elder''s personality, he definitely wouldn''t allow Blaze Regret to go out alone for training, which would only lead to more trouble.


    "Finally leaving, huh."


    Blaze Regret patted Red''s little head, as if to encourage himself. "I wonder how much I''ll have grown by the time I return. I can''t wait."


    With a light smile, Blaze Regret left a note on the table. As usual, he walked out of the Blaze family gate, greeting Blaze Tut and the others stationed there with a smile.


    Blending into the crowd, Blaze Regret''s face, hidden by a black robe, did not draw anyone''s attention.


    Three hours later, Blaze Regret was walking on an unfamiliar road. Here, there were no Four Great Families, nor the Angsana Pavilion Auction House. Everything familiar had disappeared.


    "Beep!"


    Suddenly, the sound transmission shell at Blaze Regret''s waist flashed with a red light.


    "Regret''er, two years from now is the day the Spirit Master Competition starts in Veloria City. Remember to come back."


    Blaze Ash''s familiar voice made Blaze Regret''s nose tingle with emotion. He raised his hand slightly, seemingly nonchalant, and tossed the sound transmission shell into the void Realms stone. His young figure disappeared at the end of the road.

 Chapter 108 - 108 Spiny Porcupine (Bonus 2)

    The long path was extraordinarily quiet. It was already autumn on the continent, and the cool autumn wind carried slightly yellowed leaves, gently floating down onto the road, where they were crushed under the feet of passersby.


    "Master Magi, where exactly are we going?"


    Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Blaze Regret was slightly out of breath.


    "To Hildan Town," Master Magi, who floated beside Blaze Regret like a blue ghost, said softly. "Hildan Town is located deep within the mountains, extremely difficult to find. Even with a map, it''s hard to locate. So, I want you to find a Spirit Hunting group first and go with them."


    "Can''t you find it yourself?" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes.


    "I''m not a god; how could I know everything? I can only sense that the missing page is roughly in the direction of Hildan Town," Master Magi retorted, clearly irritated by Blaze Regret''s disdainful attitude.


    As soon as he left the Veloria city, Blaze Regret said to Red, "Red, can I ride you?"


    Besides fighting, Red could also serve as a mount.


    Roar~


    After a slight hesitation, Red nodded. Now, Red was over two meters long and nearly a meter tall, when transform to Blue Flame Demon Cat, barely suitable as a mount.


    When Blaze Regret mounted, Red felt his back sink. Fortunately, Blaze Regret was on the thinner side and not fully grown, otherwise, Red would have struggled a lot.


    Even so, Red''s speed was somewhat affected.


    However, After a few hour Red was accustomed to Blaze Regret weight, so even with Blaze Regret on its back, it moved swiftly and silently. The surrounding scenery quickly blurred as they sped along.


    After some intermittent travel, Red stopped at the foot of Tall Mountain. Blaze Regret vaguely saw a small path surrounded by overgrown weeds, indicating it was a piece of undeveloped wilderness.


    Although at the back Mountain Blaze family manor has many wild Spirit beast, their numbers were few compared to the vast wilderness here, which had a large population of wild spirit beast, including many high quality ones.


    Blaze Regret dismounted and stepped onto the path, advancing while observing the surroundings.


    This piece of wilderness was overgrown with waist high wormwood, dotted with various wildflowers. Occasionally, rustling sounds could be heard as wild spirit beast darted by.


    Based on their nature, wild spirit beast could be categorized as either aggressive or passive. The former, mainly carnivorous spirit beast, were fierce and would actively attack, while the latter, mainly herbivorous spirit beast, were the opposite. They would generally not attack unless provoked and might even actively avoid encounters.


    Blaze Regret was not surprised and had no intention of paying attention to them. He continued moving forward.


    "Red, don''t relax. Always stay vigilant. This will be your first lesson in surviving the wilderness!"


    Red seemed a bit bewildered. Just then, its ears twitched, and its eyes instantly turned fierce. It immediately positioned itself in front of Blaze Regret, tensely watching the rustling grass ahead.


    At that moment, the rustling grew louder, and a porcupine like Spirit Beast burst out, charging at Red.


    This Spirit Beast resembled a porcupine, about a meter long, with a stout body, short limbs, and sharp, hard white spines on its back and tail.


    "A spiny porcupine medium grade fourth warrior grade!" Blaze Regret instantly identified the creature.


    Unlike regular porcupines, spiny porcupines are larger and have sharper snouts. They are a common Spirit Beast, often found in grasslands.


    "Dodge and use a bite!"


    As the spiny porcupine charged, Red swiftly dodged to the left, nearly brushing past the opponent.


    The next moment, Red quickly turned, moving with lightning speed towards the spiny porcupine.


    During the attack, Red opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp white fangs, and avoided the spiny porcupine''s quill covered back, aiming for its neck.


    The spiny porcupine had no time to react as Red''s fangs sank into its neck, targeting a vital spot.


    A pained wail erupted from the spiny porcupine as it thrashed violently, trying to shake off Red.


    In its frenzied struggle, Red tore off a chunk of flesh, causing a fountain of bright red blood to gush from the porcupine''s neck, leaving it severely injured.


    At that moment, the spiny porcupine turned its back to Red, seemingly trying to flee.


    "Red, be careful!" sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing Red about to pursue, Blaze Regret quickly shouted a warning. Under his command, Red immediately activated Blue Flame Demon Fire skill.


    Red crouched low, then suddenly leaped up. Blue red spiritual energy emanated from its body, converging in front of it and condensing into three balls of Blue fire in an instant.


    The Blue fire quietly rotated, each ball containing spiritual energy far stronger than that of the blazing sun!


    "Whoosh!"


    The rotation speed of the three balls of Blue fire suddenly increased. Red''s figure shot out like a bolt, with Blue red spiritual energy surging around it. A tail of light trailed behind it, the speed astonishingly fast.


    In the next instant, the spiny porcupine shook its body forcefully, and its white spines shot out with a sharp "puh puh puh" sound, aiming at Red.


    A single spine might not be very powerful, but being hit by so many could be disastrous.


    With the Blue Flame Demon Fire skill enhancing its speed, Red moved with incredible swiftness, dashing out of the spines'' range in an instant. The white spines missed their mark entirely, posing no threat to Red.


    "Great, finish it off now with you skill!"


    Having avoided the spines'' attack, Red quickly resumed its pursuit. In a blink, it caught up with the fleeing spiny porcupine and three ball of blue fire fly of at the porcupine''s head.


    The spiny porcupine couldn''t react in time and was struck on the head by Blue Flame Demon Fire skill.


    Boom!


    Crack!


    With the sound of bones shattering, the porcupine''s head caved in, and it fell heavily to the ground. Its limbs twitched violently a few times before it lay still.


    "Red, well done!"


    Even though the battle was relatively easy,Blaze Regret still gave Red ample praise.

 Chapter 109 - 109 Wind Wolf 1

    Roar~


    Upon receiving Blaze Regret''s praise, Red beamed with satisfaction and let out a resounding roar that echoed across the sky.


    Blaze Regret skillfully extracted the Spirit Beast core from the spiny porcupine and carefully collected any valuable materials from the creature, storing them in his Void Realm stone. Now, fully immersed in his adventure, he understood the necessity of earning his own money to survive and purchase essential items.


    With unwavering resolve, he pressed on, making his way towards the mysterious Hiltan Town.


    Many spirit beast have a migratory habit for food and survival, leading to a wide variety of Spirit beast species encountered along the way.


    After entering Tall Mountain, the density of wild Spirit beast is far greater than that at the foot of the mountain, and Blaze Regret detect many wild spirit beast each time he went deeper.


    The wild Spirit beast of Tall Mountain mainly consist of earth hedgehogs, crawling insects, larks, and sharp beaked porcupines, all of which are relatively common Spirit beast.


    Unfortunately, throughout his journey, Blaze Regret encountered only low grade Spirit beast with no cultivation value, that make him feel down because he did not find any rare spirit beast.


    Whenever he encountered aggressive Spirit beast, Blaze Regret would command Red to fight, enhancing Red''s combat abilities.


    As he continued on, after a small half day, Blaze Regret found himself at the end of the foot of Tall Mountain.


    Tall Mountain isn''t very high, with its highest point only about four to five hundred meters, but it covers a vast area, spanning dozens of miles, giving the impression of a mountain range.


    Along the way, Blaze Regret''s gains were not substantial; he only collected some low grade Spirit beast cores and a few low grade spiritual herbs.


    The proportion of high quality Spirit beast is quite low. According to Blaze Regret''s analysis, it often takes hundreds of wild Spirit beast to find one high quality Spirit beast.


    At the end of the foot of the mountain, there is a rugged dirt path, at most half a meter wide, surrounded by dense shrubs and weeds, where many wild Spirit beast may be lurking.


    In the forest, dangers abound!


    Looking at the winding dirt path, Blaze Regret noticeably heightened his vigilance; no one knows what dangers lie ahead.


    Compared to the back mountain forest behind Blaze manor, the vegetation here is denser, and the density of wild Spirit beast is even greater, making it undoubtedly more dangerous.


    Additionally, there are also group wild Spirit beast, such as the pack of stone wolves that Blaze Regret detact with help from master magi.


    Compared to ordinary Spirit beast, group Spirit beast often have weaker individual strength, but their sheer numbers make them a greater threat than lonely Spirit beast.


    Without sufficient strength, no one would provoke group Spirit beast for no reason; otherwise, the consequences would be dire.


    This time, his mission is go thorough this tall mountain first, if he encountered a small number of stone wolves, he would seize the opportunity to strike; otherwise, he would run as far as he could.


    With Blaze Regret''s speed, unless he encountered mid tier warrior grade stone wolves, the chances of escape were quite high.


    Not long after setting off, Blaze Regret was forced to stop. His expression changed as he looked at the scene, which was shrouded in uncertainty.


    Not far away, on a tree large enough for several people to embrace, hung a colossal beehive with a three meter diameter, swarming with wild bees the size of human heads darting in and out.


    "Oh no, that''s a first tier warrior level murder hornet nest!"


    The moment Blaze Regret laid eyes on the hive and the menacing bees, he recognized the danger.


    Murder hornets may lack individual strength, but they operate in aggressive swarms, striking fear into the hearts of even the most formidable Spirit Beasts, who tend to avoid of them whenever possible.


    Without a moment''s hesitation, Blaze Regret swiftly mounted Red and commanded it to retreat from the area.


    The reaction of the murder hornets was lightning quick; as soon as Blaze Regret turned away, a swarm of giant hornets burst forth from the hive, their ominous buzzing echoing ominously as they lunged toward him.


    Many Spirit Beasts possess a keen sense of territory, especially group ones. The moment an intruder encroaches, they respond with ferocity, and the murder hornet swarm is notoriously formidable.


    To evade the hornet swarm, one must put distance between themselves and the nest; only then can they hope to escape.


    "Red, run!" Blaze shouted.


    As the swarm closed in, Red was clearly startled, bolting into the forest without regard for direction. Red sprinted straight ahead at full speed, knowing that if the murder hornets caught up, the consequences would be dire. Their venomous stings were lethal; even a few could spell death.


    In the forest, Red moved like a fish in water, navigating the terrain with incredible speed and agility, deftly dodging obstacles as they raced forward.


    In the blink of an eye, time seemed to blur, but once Blaze Regret was certain they had shaken off the relentless hornets, he reined in Red, bringing her to a halt. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After their harrowing escape, Red collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.


    "You''ve done well, Red!" Blaze Regret said, gently patting it head. He poured a bowl of water and spirit beast food, knowing he needed to restore it stamina as quickly as possible after such a perilous escape.


    While Red drank, Blaze Regret began to survey their surroundings. Tall trees loomed above, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. In his haste, he had lost track of his exact location.


    Wild Spirit Beasts generally fear humans and prefer the solitude of the wilderness. The more remote the area, the higher the concentration of wild Spirit Beasts, increasing the chances of encountering higher grade ones.


    Of course, if he stumbled upon a low grade Spirit Beast of exceptional quality, Blaze Regret would capture it to sell later in Hiltan Town.


    Once Red had recovered, Blaze Regret chose a direction that led deeper into the forest and continued his exploration.

 Chapter 110 - 110 Wind Wolf 2

    As time slowly passed during the search, dusk soon arrived, and the dense trees made the forest increasingly dark.


    Before nightfall could fully settle in, visibility dropped rapidly, and the swaying trees took on a more sinister appearance.


    A qualified Spirit Beast master must conquer their inner fears and possess the ability to survive independently in the wild.


    Blaze Regret was undoubtedly a competent spirit beast master; even without the company of Red and Ice Control Irenix, he was unafraid of such an environment.


    Before night fell completely, Blaze Regret did not continue onward but instead actively sought out a dry tree hollow. After driving away the wild spirit beast that had been residing there, he took over the nest.


    The tree hollow wasn''t very large, but it was sufficient to accommodate both Blaze Regret and Red.


    After having a simple dinner, the night fully descended, and silvery light shone on the ground, casting mottled and intertwined shadows.


    With the mountain wind blowing, the leaves rustled, adding a touch of terror to the forest.


    In such an environment, Blaze Regret remained constantly vigilant. He dared not sleep too deeply, and at the slightest rustle or movement, he would spring into battle mode at the fastest speed.


    The next morning, Blaze Regret yawned repeatedly. Even though he had a fine "tiger skin mat," he slept lightly that night for safety''s sake, not much better than just resting with his eyes closed.


    Before start journey again, Master Magi ask him to dig a hole trap near his sleep place. To avoid mistakenly injuring "friendly forces," Blaze Regret set up simple traps, all about a meter high, with no sharp objects at the bottom. Even if someone accidentally fell into a trap, their life would not be in danger.


    About half an hour later, Blaze Regret forcefully clapped his hands, which were covered in dirt. After marking the traps, he didn''t linger and moved deeper into Tall Mountain.


    The paths of Tall Mountain were rugged, and due to the presence of many wild spirit beast and the potential appearance of wild spirit beast group, Blaze Regret proceeded cautiously and at a slow pace.


    In the past two days, Blaze Regret had spent his time exploring. Strangely, even though he hadn''t fully ventured into Tall Mountain, he had not seen a single trace of the Hiltan Town and any small village in area around Tall mountain


    Additionally, Blaze Regret''s luck hadn''t been very good these past two days; he had encountered a high quality wild spirit beast that can be sold at high price, but that spirit beast was adept at running. However, before he could make a move, the alert wild spirit beast chose to flee, and even with Red giving it his all in pursuit, they couldn''t catch up.


    In terms of speed, both were comparable, but the spirit beast was clearly more familiar with the local terrain, which was why Red couldn''t keep up.


    Blaze Regret, fearing for Red''s safety, didn''t dare let him chase too far and had to choose to give up.


    Over the course of two days, Blaze Regret didn''t have much success in finding any small town or team of adventure to get any information how to go to Hiltan Town. But he found many spirit beast group that quantity is high that make master magi ask him to be more careful.


    Perhaps due to the presence of the wild spirit group, the ecological balance of Tall Mountain had been disrupted. Some wild solo spirits beast had become prey for the wild spirit beast group, while many others were forced to migrate, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of wild spirits beast in Tall Mountain.


    That morning, Blaze Regret finally ventured deep into Tall Mountain, filled with vigilance as he searched any small city or he had good luck to find any high quality spirit beast.


    Compared to the outskirts, the wild spirits beast here were stronger, and the presence of the wild spirit beast nearby added to the danger.


    "According to the position in map i purchase before leave Veloria city, The is a small village over ten miles away from the tall mountain; perhaps I can reach it by evening!" Blaze Regret stood atop a hill, gazing into the distance.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out. Blaze Regret''s expression changed slightly as the voice seemed somewhat like it near to his place; it was highly likely that it belonged to a member of spirit hunter team, and they were in extreme danger. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Without hesitation, Blaze Regret quickly urged Red toward the source of the sound.


    Red took off at full speed, its agile limbs propelling it swiftly forward, the scenery whizzing by as they approached their destination.


    In less than two minutes, Red came to a halt, revealing a chaotic scene ahead. Five pale green wind wolves formed a circle, their heads bowed as they viciously tore at a corpse.


    Wind Wolf: Wind element, medium warrior grade, a group hunting spirit beast type, known for its speed, with average fur resistance.


    Since Red didn''t conceal its presence, the five wind wolf immediately raised their heads upon hearing the noise, crimson blood dripping from their jaws as they fixed their fierce gazes on Blaze Regret and Red.


    Beside the wolf lay the mangled body of a young boy and women, his abdomen almost hollowed out, limbs torn and bloodied, with only his head remaining intact. Their eyes were wide open, filled with a desperate longing for life.


    This scene struck Blaze Regret''s nerves hard.


    At that moment, the five wind wolf began to spread out, stepping forward to encircle Blaze Regret.


    If surrounded by wind wolf, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    "Ice Control Irenix, freeze their leg!"


    At the moment the wind wolves moved, the Ice control Irenix use it ice type skill to freeze the wind wolf leg to stop their movement.


    In an instant, the soil in a radius of several meters ahead suddenly changed, rapidly turning to land of ice and slowly freeze the place of wind wolf.

 Chapter 111 - 111 Wind Barbarian Bear 1

    The five wind Wolf sensed something was wrong and instinctively tried to leap out of the freezing''s range. Even so, four of the wind Wolf still found themselves trapped in the ice.


    Amidst the freezing ices, the four wind Wolf were clearly bound. Despite their desperate struggles, there was no chance of escape for the time being.


    The only wind wolf that managed to jump out of the freezing ice immediately lunged at Blaze Regret. However, before it could reach him, Red moved first, appearing in front of the wind wolf.


    In mid air, Red raised its right paw, Blue Fire gathering on its claws. Under the terrified gaze of the wind wolf, it struck fiercely on its skull.


    Crack


    Accompanied by a dull sound, the wind wolf''s brain splattered, and it collapsed to the ground, its limbs twitching for a moment before falling silent.


    After taking down one wind wolf, Blaze Regret intended to redirect his focus to eliminate the other four wind Wolf that were about to break free from the ice''s grip.


    Just then, from the nearby bushes, a massive dark shadow suddenly leaped out, charging toward Blaze Regret with lightning speed.


    Just as the shadow attacked, Red''s ears twitched slightly. It reacted quickly, immediately changing direction and swinging its claws toward the opponent.


    "Ice Control Irenix, ice Armor!"


    In an instant, a layer of ice armor appeared on Red''s body, as if it was wrapped in several layers of ice armor, significantly increasing its physical defense.


    In that moment, the opponent''s claws landed on the ice armor. Due to their influence, the force was significantly reduced.


    Boom~


    A dull sound echoed. Red only felt a numbness in its right paw and a great force pushed it back, causing it to stagger two steps back.


    It was only then that Blaze Regret finally saw the opponent''s appearance clearly. It was also a Wind Wolf, but its size was much larger than an ordinary Wind Wolf; it was three meters long and nearly two meters tall, currently looking down at Red.


    "This... this is a High tier Nine Warrior grade Wind Wolf!" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted sharply, his heart pounding violently, and his expression turned quite grim.


    Both in size and aura, this Wind Wolf clearly surpassed the level of a low tier spirit beast, being a genuine high tier spirit beast.


    Although Red also a High tier, the training time was ultimately limited, and it could not yet compete with a high tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf.


    If he guessed correctly, this High tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf was likely the leader of the Wind Wolf pack.


    With the appearance of a High Tier nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf, there could be other Wind Wolf nearby. If they regrouped, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    At this moment, four lower tier Wind Wolf successfully broke free and, together with the High tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf, surrounded Blaze Regret and his spirit beast.


    Unexpectedly, they did not launch an immediate attack, as if they were waiting for something.


    "Strange!" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling a vague sense of unease. Given the nature of the Wind Wolf pack, they clearly had the upper hand and should have launched an attack right away, but they didn''t. This was very unusual.


    Clap, clap, clap~


    Suddenly, the sound of clapping came from behind. A figure emerged from the bushes, watching Blaze Regret with great interest.


    More precisely, he was watching Ice Control Irenix on Blaze Regret''s shoulder.


    It was a young man, around twenty years old, with a face full of muscle, a strong build, and a fierce aura. He wore a black white brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, and his face showed no emotion. His deep eyes indicated he was a formidable character.


    The young man''s name was Bun Tal. Under Blaze Regret''s astonished gaze, he walked straight to the high grade nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf, raised his right hand slightly, and reached for the Wind Wolf''s head.


    Unexpectedly, the high tier nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf did not move. Instead, it willingly leaned its head forward, allowing Bun Tal to stroke it. Its eyes narrowed in comfort, showing a human like expression of pleasure.


    The answer was clear: the High tier Nineth warrior grade Wind Wolf was Bun Tal''s spirit beast!


    With his hands behind his back, Bun Tal, exuding an air of superiority, slowly spoke, "Tsk tsk, I didn''t expect you to have a rare Ice Control Irenix! Kid, how about we strike a deal? If you willingly dissolve the contract with your spirit beast, I''ll spare your life. How about it?"


    A Spirit Master can dissolve it unilaterally, though at a significant cost. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before Blaze Regret could respond, Ice Control Irenix became visibly tense, clutching tightly to Blaze Regret''s clothes, fearing he might agree to the terms.


    "Do you think I''d agree?" Blaze Regret licked his dry lips, forcing himself to stay calm and begin thinking of a way to escape.


    "I think you will," Bun Tal replied.


    Bun tal release his imperial grade aura to threaten Blaze Regret.


    This meant that, aside from the High tier ninth warrior grade Wind Wolf, Bun Tal had at least one more not know tier imperial grade spirit beast, and possibly even more.


    The next moment, Bun Tal''s lips moved slightly, and a portal light flickered in front of him, eventually forming a wind colored portal.


    Roar~


    Accompanied by a heart palpitating roar, a foul wind swept through the surroundings, fiercely rustling the nearby branches and leaves, creating a cacophony of sounds.


    Upon completing the summoning, a fierce beast type spirit beast appeared beside Bun Tal, the Wind Barbarian Bear!


    The Wind Barbarian Bear stood on its hind legs, towering over three meters tall and weighing several tons. Its body was covered in thick, wind yellow fur, and its enormous paws were slightly larger than a stew pot. When it opened its mouth, it revealed menacing, sharp fangs.


    The wind Barbarian Bear is relatively widespread, found in many forests. Like the Wind Wolf, the wind Barbarian Bear belongs to a higher ranked species, classified as a high level imperial spirit beast.

 Chapter 112 - 112 Wind Barbarian Bear 2

    "Run!" At the moment Bun Tal completed the summoning, Blaze Regret seized the opportunity. If he were surrounded by two High tier spirit beast and four low tier Wind Wolf, his chances of survival would be slim.


    From the beginning, Blaze Regret never considered giving up. He could not abandon Ice Control Irenix, nor did he trust Bun Tal to honor any agreement. Without hesitation, he mounted Red and urged it to flee.


    Under Blaze Regret''s guidance, Red quickly took her steps and ran in the opposite direction of Bun Tal.


    "Do you think you can escape? Wind Wolf, entangle him, and remember to spare his life!" Seeing Blaze Regret''s actions, Bun Tal''s mouth curled into a smile as he gestured to the High tier Wind Wolf nearby.


    Awooo


    The high tier Wind Wolf roared, and four lower tier Wind Wolfs received their orders, pouncing towards Blaze Regret from various directions.


    At the same time, the High tier Wind Wolf also charged forward. If they managed to entangle him, Blaze Regret would undoubtedly lose hope of escaping.


    Before the wind wolf charged to Blaze Regret, Master Magi Ask Blaze Regret to form metal barrier because he will use technique name Sonic Boom that effect mental.


    Before the Master Magi unleashed its Sonic Boom, Blaze Regret''s mental energy surged, instantly forming a mental barrier that enveloped both him and Red, preventing them from being affected by the indiscriminate attack of the Sonic Boom.


    Master Magi took a deep breath, its belly and cheeks quickly swelling up, as if made of two meatballs, one large and one small.


    In an instant, an extremely sharp and piercing sound erupted, and the raging sound waves rapidly spread, encompassing a hundredmeter radius around them.


    Under the onslaught of the astonishing sound waves, even the High tier Wind Wolf noticeably paused, momentarily forced to stop in its tracks.


    The four lower tier Wind Wolfs were even worse off; they felt dizzy, their eardrums ruptured, blood seeping from their ears, and they collapsed helplessly to the ground.


    Not far away, Bun Tal reacted quickly, preemptively covering his ears with mental energy, easily neutralizing the impact of the sound waves.


    Seizing the opportunity, Red quickly broke free from the encirclement and, guided by Blaze Regret, ran towards the outskirts of Tall Mountain.


    "Damn it, chase after them!" Bun Tal felt embarrassed and immediately commanded his spirit beast to pursue.


    In addition to being extremely envious of the Ice Control Irenix, Bun Tal also didn''t want any information to leak, so he couldn''t let Blaze Regret get away.


    Under Bun Tal''s command, the High tier Wind Wolf sprang into action, transforming into a green silhouette as it chased after the direction Blaze Regret and Red had fled.


    Both parties moved at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from sight.


    In the next moment, Bun Tal jumped onto the back of the Wind Barbarian Bear. Under his guidance, the Wind Barbarian Bear began to stride forward; although its movements were slow, its long strides allowed it to keep pace with the lower tier Wind Wolfs.


    Before long, the four lower tier Wind Wolfs, having recovered, also caught up.


    On the back of the Wind Barbarian Bear, Bun Tal squinted his eyes, his gaze unfocused as he followed the mental connection with the High tier Wind Wolf to sense its precise location.


    A hundred meters ahead, even though Red was giving it her all, it was unable to create distance; instead, the high tier Wind Wolf was closing in on it. While Red speed might not be inferior to that of the High tier Wind Wolf, carrying Blaze Regret affected her pace.


    At that moment, Red used it Blue Flame Demon Fire Boost skill, and Red speed suddenly increased, starting to show signs of pulling away.


    Unfortunately, the good fortune was short lived, as the High tier Wind Wolf also activated its Wind Boost skill, making it even faster and continuing to reduce the distance between them.


    Throughout the chase, Red never looked back; Red skillfully dodged obstacles along the way while focusing on charging forward. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Closer! Even closer!


    As they ran, Blaze Regret kept an eye on what was behind them. His vision was sharp, and he could vaguely see the figure of the high tier Wind Wolf.


    After a few breaths, the figure of the High tier Wind Wolf became clearer, now less than twenty meters away from Red, ready to launch a ranged attack at any moment.


    However, due to Bun Tal''s instructions, the High tier Wind Wolf did not launch a ranged attack.


    "Ice Control Irenix, use Ice Powder!" Unlike the High tier Wind Wolf, Blaze Regret faced no restrictions and began commanding his spirit beast to attack.


    Under Blaze Regret''s command, Ice Control Irenix quickly mobilized its energy, creating a large amount of Blue Ice powder that began to drift toward the back.


    The High tier Wind Wolf reacted swiftly, and as the Blue Ice Powder moved slowly, it managed to slightly maneuver and evade the area affected by the powder.


    Taking advantage of the opportunity, Red created some distance, but soon the opponent was on her tail again.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Ball!"


    Without hesitation, the Ice Control Irenix raised its forelimbs, and rapidly condensed ice type energy, forming two fist sized clumps of ice, which it hurled at the High tier Wind Wolf.


    Boom, Smack.


    Due to the short distance and high speed of movement, the High tier Wind Wolf couldn''t completely avoid the attack. After dodging one clump of ice ball, it was hit by the other, leaving its wolf face covered in ice Blue. While it didn''t cause much damage, its vision was clearly affected.


    Awooh


    Hit in the face with ice ball felt like being slapped, which infuriated the high tier Wind Wolf, prompting it to let out an angry roar as it prepared to attack.


    Boom


    Unfortunately, with its vision severely obstructed, the high speed high tier Wind Wolf crashed into a small tree about waist high. Its head was quite hard, and it snapped the tree in half.

 Chapter 113 - 113 Wind Barbarian Bear 3

    After knocking down the small tree, the high tier Wind Wolf staggered a few steps, nearly falling to the ground. After vigorously shaking off the ice crystal from its face, it continued the chase.


    As it closed in this time, the furious high tier Wind Wolf held nothing back. Its mouth opened as it began to gather wind attribute energy, forming light blue wind blades that were about to shoot toward Red.


    Its master only instructed to spare Blaze Regret''s life, but did not include Red.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Beam!" Blaze Regret was constantly observing the high tier Wind Wolf and guessed its intentions the moment it opened its mouth.


    At a critical moment, Ice Control Irenix once again mobilized its ice type energy. Under its control, several ice particle suddenly shot down from the sky, quickly wrapping around the High tier Wind Wolf''s forelegs.


    If it had been the Wind Barbarian Bear, those ice particle would likely have been broken apart, but compared to the Wind Barbarian Bear, the Hire lower tier Wind Wolf was significantly smaller in size, weight, and strength.


    Thus, with the ice particle freezing on it, the wolf lost its front legs and tumbled to the ground, the wind blades it had been gathering completely missing their target and slicing a small tree in half.


    By the time the High tier Wind Wolf got back on its feet, Red had already vanished, but that didn''t stump it. The high tier Wind Wolf twitched its nose, sniffing out the lingering scents of Blaze Regret and Red, determined not to give them a chance to escape.


    In a flash, it soon spotted Blaze Regret''s figure again. Its eyes turned slightly red, revealing a predatory glint.


    The earlier embarrassment had made the High tier Wind Wolf absolutely furious with Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret felt equally frustrated; to shake off the wolf, he had even instructed Red to change direction, yet it was still unable to lose the pursuer.


    There was no helping it; the sense of smell in beasts was far too sensitive, making them natural trackers.


    "Since we can''t shake it off, then let''s take it down!" After making up his mind, Blaze Regret commanded Red to change course once more.


    Before long, Blaze Regret reached his destination. Under his guidance, Red jumped forcefully, leaping several meters away.


    Unlike Red, the high tier Wind Wolf charged straight ahead, ignoring everything else.


    Boom


    At this moment, the rapidly running High tier wind wolf suddenly stepped into the air. Before it could react, it tumbled clumsily into a large pit several meters deep.


    This was a trap set in advance by Blaze Regret. Instead of calling it a trap, it would be more accurate to say it was a large concealed pit.


    Although with the strength of a High Tier wind wolf, it could escape in just one or two breaths, if this fleeting opportunity is seized, it could have a very good effect, and might even kill the opponent in one blow.


    "Ice Control Irenix, ice particlel! Red, ram into it!"


    At the moment the High Tier wind wolf stepped into the trap, the prepared Red abruptly halted, not only stopping but also turning direction smoothly.


    At the same time, the Ice Control Irenix landed on the ground, its limbs glowing with a bright ice light that continuously flowed into the earth.


    In an instant, with the trap as the center, the ground in the pit began to change, the soil rapidly turning into freezing land. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Naturally, the High Tier wind wolf did not sit and wait for its doom. The moment it fell into the trap, it fiercely extended its claws from the pads of its forelimbs, gripping the edge of the trap and leveraging to jump out. It was just about to leap out of the pit.


    Boom


    Unfortunately, before it could completely jump out, Red rammed into it with full force, knocking the High Tier wind wolf back into the pit again.


    In the trap, the High Tier wind wolf stood up clumsily. This time, before it could act, it felt the ground froxen under its feet, its limbs got stcuck by the ice that try to freeze it body, leaving it momentarily unable to find leverage.


    In the frozen pit, the High Tier wind wolf struggled desperately. Its level was higher than the Ice Control Irenix, making it difficult for the ice particle to hold it for long.


    Blaze Regret pull something from Void Realms Stone. It a sleepy powder one of item Master Magi ask him to bring before they start adventure.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret released the Sleepy Powder, dispersing a large amount of bright yellow powder that almost filled the entire pit.


    Although the Sleepy Powder spread slowly, the virtually immobile High Tier wind wolf had no way to escape its range.


    Of course, holding its breath could prevent the Sleepy Powder from taking effect. Unfortunately, the High Tier wind wolf wasn''t that clever, especially with its master not around. By the time it realized what was happening, it had already inhaled quite a bit.


    After inhaling the powder, the High Tier wind wolf felt its head grow heavy, overwhelmed by a deep sense of drowsiness. It tried its best to fight off the sleepiness, but its eyelids felt like they were battling each other, heavy with the urge to close.


    "It''s over. Red, use Fire Claw. Ice Control Irenix, Ice Beam!" With the Sleepy Powder taking effect, Blaze Regret wasn''t about to miss the chance to pummel the fallen wolf. He had to eliminate the High Tier wind wolf before Bun Tal arrived.


    Following Blaze Regret''s command, the Ice Control Irenix opened its mouth, gathering countless ice colored energies.


    Before this, Red had already moved, leaping towards the High Tier wind wolf with the momentum of a tiger.


    In mid air, Red raised its right claw, Blue Flame gathering at the claw, aiming for the High Tier wind wolf''s head.


    If the Fire Claw hit, the High Tier wind wolf would at least be severely injured, if not outright killed.

 Chapter 114 - 114 Wind Barbarian Bear 4

    Faced with the imminent threat to its life, the High Tier wind wolf bit its tongue hard, blood gushing from its mouth. The pain temporarily warded off the drowsiness, but the ongoing effect of the ice particle left it unable to dodge.


    However, this pain triggered the High Tier wind wolf''s ferocity. It raised its head, baring its sharp white fangs, and bit towards Red''s waist.


    Boom, Crunch.


    In an instant, Red''s Fire claw struck the High Tier wind wolf''s head fiercely. At the same time, the High Tier wind wolf bit into Red''s waist, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.


    With a dull thud, the High Tier wind wolf collapsed heavily to the ground, its skull fractured and nearly destroyed.


    On the other side, Red let out a miserable cry. Blood gushed from its waist, the ground around it turning crimson from the profuse bleeding.


    Both sides were severely injured, each receiving critical wounds.


    At this moment, the Ice Control Irenix had finally gathered enough ice energy. It unleashed a torrent of energy from its mouth, instantly engulfing the High Tier wind wolf.


    Awooo¡ª


    The moment it was hit, the High Tier wind wolf''s cries abruptly stopped. When the energy torrent dissipated, the High Tier wind wolf lay on the ground, its eyes wide open, staring unwillingly at Red nearby. It tilted its head and fell silent forever.


    At the exact moment of the High Tier wind wolf''s death, Bun Tal, who was hundreds of meters away, felt the mental link with his wind wolf abruptly sever. His consciousness sea trembled violently, and he couldn''t help but grunt in pain, clearly affected.


    Under the mental shock, even using external spirit power could cause further damage, let alone deploying abilities like a mental barrier.


    "How is this possible!" Bun Tal couldn''t help but spit out a mouthful of blood. At the moment the spirit link was severed, he received a final image.


    When a contracted spirit beast dies, the spirit Master inevitably suffers mental shock due to the spirit link, needing time to recuperate. Because of this link, the final image seen by the dying spirit beast is transmitted to the spirit master.


    From an omniscient perspective, covering a distance of about a hundred meters, Bun Tal ''saw'' the motionless High Tier wind wolf lying in the trap, the severely injured Red, Blaze Regret and the Ice Control Irenix nearby.


    Seeing this scene, Bun Tal could roughly deduce the cause of the High Tier wind wolf''s death, but it made his heart bleed. The loss of the High Tier wind wolf was a significant blow to him.


    He was a Imperial grade Spirit Master, able to contract up to 3 beasts. Both the Wind Barbarian Bear and the High Tier wind wolf were his only two High Tier beasts.


    "Thankfully, it wasn''t my main spirit beast that died, or my fighting power will weaken more than this. Damn it, this grudge must be avenged. I''ll use his Ice control Irenix to compensate for my loss!"


    Bun Tal was filled with resentment. However, from the image he saw, Blaze Regret''s main pet and mount, Red, was also severely injured. Even though the spirit beast can quickly heal themself, but it can''t heal Red''s wounds in a short time.


    Before Red could recover, its mobility would be significantly decrease. Even if it could still be ridden, its speed would likely be slower than the Wind Barbarian Bear.


    For Bun Tal, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. He had to seize every second to catch up, giving his opponent no time to recover.


    Thus, under Bun Tal''s command, the Wind Barbarian Bear continued to stride forward, quickly charging towards the scene of the incident.


    In just about a minute, the Wind Barbarian Bear reached the destination. Seeing the High Tier wind wolf lying lifeless in the trap, its eyes wide open in death, Bun Tal''s face turned ashen as he began to search for Blaze Regret''s whereabouts.


    Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the nearby bushes. Bun Tal turned his head to see Blaze Regret with a panicked expression, hastily fleeing with the Ice Control Irenix.


    In almost the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the cover provided by the bushes, Blaze Regret''s figure flickered and vanished from sight.


    Due to the mental shock, Bun Tal was carefull as possible, and he didn''t know if Blaze Regret had set traps in the jungle.


    "Take him down!"


    To be safe, Bun Tal jumped off the Wind Barbarian Bear, commanding it and two low tier Wind Wolfs to chase after Blaze Regret.


    Bun Tal was very cautious, as who knew if there were traps set by Blaze Regret ahead.


    As a result, Bun Tal was left with only two low tier Wind Wolfs by his side, significantly reducing his level of protection. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Boom,


    Suddenly, a booming sound came from the jungle not far away, and the Wind Barbarian Bear stepped into a trap.


    Due to the hasty preparation, the trap wasn''t deep and didn''t have sharp objects like bamboo spikes at the bottom.


    For the thick skinned and robust Wind Barbarian Bear, such a trap couldn''t injure it; at most, it would just slow it down a bit.


    "As expected, there are traps!" Bun Tal''s lips curled into a cold smile. He was pleased with his foresight, and instinctively focused his attention ahead, temporarily ignoring the sounds from other directions.


    "Ice partical!"


    As the Wind Barbarian Bear stepped into the trap, the Ice Control Irenix once again activated Ice Partical. Bright ice light continuously rain down into the ground.


    In an instant, the ground around the trap, within a radius of several meters, began to change. The soil quickly turned to freeze and started to freeze the Wind Barbarian Bear leg.


    Compared to the High tier Wind Wolf, the Wind Barbarian Bear was undoubtedly slower and less explosive, making it unable to escape the trap before the soil fully frozen formed.


    In the frozen land, the Wind Barbarian Bear''s legs were completely trapped, making it impossible for it to break free immediately.

 Chapter 115 - 115 Wind Barbarian Bear 5

    At this moment, the two Wind Wolves bypassed the trap and lunged at Blaze Regret.


    "Ice Control Irenix, I''m counting on you!"


    Under Blaze Regret''s command, the Ice Control Irenix, tried its best to entangle the two Wind Wolf.


    Meanwhile, Blaze Regret turned and ran, trying to put distance between himself and the trap.


    Unfortunately, the good times didn''t last long. The Wind Barbarian Bear, being a High tier Spirit Beast, broke free from the frozen land in just a couple of breaths. After escaping the trap, it immediately charged towards Blaze Regret.


    No matter how hard Blaze Regret tried, his speed was no match for the Wind Barbarian Bear. The distance between them quickly shortened, and it wouldn''t be long before he was caught.


    Just as Blaze Regret was leading the Wind Barbarian Bear away, a swift figure suddenly attacked Bun Tal from behind, accompanied by the sound of something cutting through the air.


    The attacker was none other than Red, who had been hiding in the shadows.


    Red had been severely injured while dealing with the High tier Wind Wolf and was temporarily unable to carry Blaze Regret.


    With no other options for escape, Blaze Regret had to make a desperate decision. He hid Red, choosing to attract Bun Tal''s attention himself.


    Blaze Regret was gambling. He was betting that Bun Tal couldn''t use his spirit powers externally and that he wouldn''t dare enter the bushes. As long as he successfully lured away the Wind Barbarian Bear, Red hiding in the shadows, would strike and kill Bun Tal.


    Even though a Imperial spirit Master might know some secret techniques, without powerful spirit beast to guard them, their ability to protect themselves was still quite limited. Moreover, Bun Tal was currently in a state of mental shock. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Damn it, stop it!" Bun Tal''s expression changed drastically upon hearing the commotion behind him. He hurriedly commanded the two low tier Wind Wolfs to intercept Red.


    Red transform to it real appearence Blue Flame Demon Cat and easly kill both low tier wind wolfs but Red also increase it injured.


    "Damn it!"


    In the face of the imminent threat, Bun Tal had no choice but to forcibly use his spirit powers, which further aggravated the shock to his consciousness, making his face even paler.


    In an instant, a wind portal appeared, summoning a One Horned Python.


    Besides the two High rank spirit beast, Bun Tal also had one low rank spirit beast, but he rarely summoned it due to it limited strength.


    Unfortunately, before the One Horned Python could grasp the situation, Red appeared before it. Her raised right paw glowed blue as it struck the python''s head fiercely.


    Crack


    With the sound of bones breaking, the One Horned Python''s skull shattered, its brain matter splattered, and it fell heavily to the ground. It twitched a few times and then lay motionless.


    The moment the One Horned Python died, Bun Tal''s mental shock worsened. He felt dizzy, his head spinning, and a sweet taste rose in his throat before he spat out a mouthful of blood.


    When Red see Bun Ta condition. Red moving at lightning speed towards Bun Tal.


    During this process, Red''s mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of sharp, white fangs as she aimed for Bun Tal''s throat.


    "No!" At this moment, Bun Tal was suffering from severe mental shock, he also unable to summon any more spirit beast or use his spirit secret techniques. He was almost entirely defenseless.


    In other words, Bun Tal was now no different from an ordinary person.


    Under Bun Tal''s terrified gaze, Red pounced on him, biting down hard on his neck.


    Crack~


    Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, blood spurted wildly from Bun Tal''s neck. His head tilted to one side, and his eyes stared blankly at the sky, filled with anger, fear, and regret.


    Bun Tal''s death had nothing to do with his strength. From a purely strength perspective, he far surpassed Blaze Regret. The reason he ended up dead was due to his underestimation and complacency, which ultimately led to his downfall.


    In his attempt to seize the Ice Control Irenix, Bun Tal didn''t kill Blaze Regret outright, allowing him to escape unscathed from the encirclement.


    In his pursuit of Blaze Regret, Bun Tal split up with the High tier Wind Wolf, leading to the high tier Wind Wolf being quickly killed by Blaze Regret and Bun Tal himself suffering from spirit setback, gradually falling into the trap prepared by Blaze Regret.


    As Bun Tal died, nor did Red tend to it wounds. Instead, Red gritted it teeth and, following the spirit link, ran towards Blaze Regret''s location.


    On the other side, just before Bun Tal''s death, the Wind Barbarian Bear broke free from the frozen land''s restraint and charged straight at Blaze Regret.


    Although Blaze Regret tried his best to retreat and create distance, his speed was nowhere near comparable to the Wind Barbarian Bear. In just a few breaths, the bear caught up with him, bringing him within the range of its long distance attacks.


    In the next moment, the Wind Barbarian Bear raised its arms high, its massive paws gathering an aura of wind energy, and slammed them heavily into the ground.


    Wind Spike Forest!


    The ground around them shook violently, and a row of sharp wind spikes emerged in succession from below through the crack, aiming straight at Blaze Regret.


    If struck by the Wind Spike Forest, Blaze Regret would likely end up as a "human slices."


    When the Wind Barbarian Bear raised its arms, Blaze Regret, sensing its intent with his spirit power, reacted without hesitation. He leaped to the side as quickly as possible.


    Rip~


    The sound of tearing fabric echoed as Blaze Regret''s left sleeve was torn by the wind spikes, leaving a long gash on his arm.


    Blood oozed out, slowly dripping from his left arm.


    Before Blaze Regret could get up from the ground, the Wind Barbarian Bear, with its massive strides, charged fiercely at him.


    In the blink of an eye, the bear''s foul breath reached him, and it stood before Blaze Regret. The towering paws were raised, ready to smash him into a pile of flesh.

 Chapter 116 - 116 Wind Barbarian Bear 6 (Final)

    At this critical moment, Blaze Regret''s expression changed dramatically. He no longer cared about his image; he rolled to the side like a lazy donkey, and as he did, his spirit power instantly condensed, forming a sun flame wall that covered his entire body.


    Pop~


    As he rolled, the Wind Barbarian Bear''s claws collided with the Sun Flame Wall. The bear''s strength was immense, and in an instant, it tore through the Sun Flame Wall.


    Rip~


    The sound of tearing fabric echoed again. Blaze Regret felt a searing pain on his back, where several deep gashes now marred his flesh. Fortunately, the wounds weren''t too deep and hadn''t reached the bone.


    If it weren''t for the Sun Flame Wall providing some buffer time, he would have faced instant death.


    Even so, Blaze Regret found himself in a perilous situation. The Wind Barbarian Bear''s next attack would be nearly impossible to evade.


    But he didn''t give up. Enduring the pain in his back, he rolled to the side again. Even if he could only buy an extra second or two, he had to try to gain time for Red. Those few seconds might be decisive in determining the outcome.


    Had the situation not been so dire, Blaze Regret wouldn''t have needed to take such a risk by luring away the Wind Barbarian Bear and the two low tier Wind Wolves.


    He had no other choice. He couldn''t just sit and wait for death, he also did not want to always get help from Master Magi. Given the circumstances at the time, he had to take the risk. Now, he could only hope that Red could kill Bun Tal first.


    As Blaze Regret rolled, the Wind Barbarian Bear turned its massive body, took a step forward, and with a foul breath, opened its bloody maw, revealing several sharp fangs, ready to tear into Blaze Regret.


    Just as Master Magi want to take action, the Wind Barbarian Bear''s massive body suddenly trembled violently. It not only halted its attack but also clutched its head in pain, showing a pained expression.


    Roar~


    In intense pain, the Wind Barbarian Bear curled up on the ground. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a feeble roar.


    At the same time, the two low tier Wind Wolves, entangled with the Ice Control Irenix, also paused. However, unlike the Wind Barbarian Bear, they didn''t show any signs of pain and chose to leave immediately, no longer engaging with the Ice Control Irenix. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Bun Tal is dead!" The Wind Barbarian Bear''s unusual behavior turned Blaze Regret''s despair into joy, indicating that his plan had succeeded.


    When a spirit beast die, the spirit connection collapses, and the spirit master suffers a backlash. Similarly, if the spirit beast dies, the spirit beast also suffers a backlash, often with greater intensity than that experienced by the spirit master.


    If the spirit master dies, the spirit beast usually suffers permanent mental trauma. This kind of trauma can only be healed by rare treasures and natural materials, almost eliminating the spirit beast''s chance of further advancement.


    To avoid any unforeseen consequences, Blaze Regret scrambled to his feet, using both his hands and legs, and only after putting several dozen meters between him and the danger did he finally sit down heavily on the ground.


    "Hiss, it hurts!" Now temporarily out of danger, Blaze Regret took a sharp breath, the movement tugging at the wounds on his back.


    The tearing pain was intensely "sour" and sharp.


    After the two low tier Wind Wolfs had fled, the Ice Control Irenix didn''t pursue them. It first scanned the area, and upon confirming there was no danger near Blaze Regret, it returned to his side, staring blankly at the curled up Wind Barbarian Bear.


    In this defensive battle, the Ice Control Irenix had played a crucial role. Without it, even if Bun Tal had been careless, it would have been Blaze Regret who perished.


    Soon, the limping figure of Red appeared.


    During the recent battle, Red''s left hind leg had been torn by the low tier Wind Wolves, leaving it severely injured. But it had always been concerned about Blaze Regret''s safety, not daring to relax until it saw him.


    Upon seeing Blaze Regret, Red sighed in relief. Red regained its proud demeanor, lying beside Blaze Regret, its bright Blue Eyes eyes fixed on the nearby Wind Barbarian Bear.


    At that moment, the Wind Barbarian Bear in the distance seemed to have somewhat adapted, slowly rising from the ground. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it stared at Blaze Regret with a ferocious, man eating glare.


    "Finish it off!" Not giving the Wind Barbarian Bear a chance to fully recover, Blaze Regret issued the attack command.


    Seize the opportunity while it''s weak. Red and Ice Control Irenix did not miss the chance to attack the "drowned bear," immediately pouncing on it and jointly besieging the Wind Barbarian Bear.


    The Wind Barbarian Bear, like a fixed target, moved much more sluggishly than before, its resistance weak. Ultimately, Red seized an opportunity and shattered its head with a flame claw.


    Like a collapsing mountain, the Wind Barbarian Bear fell heavily to the ground, causing the earth to tremble. Its limbs twitched once before it lay still, lifeless.


    "Very quickly, Red found a High tier wind element spirit core, as well as a bear gallbladder larger than a bowl, which was the most valuable part of the Wind Barbarian Bear.


    "Under Red''s guidance, Blaze Regret came to Bun Tal''s corpse.


    Looking at Bun Tal''s corpse, which had its eyes wide open in anger, Blaze Regret felt a faint sense of discomfort, although it wasn''t very strong.


    It wasn''t his first time seeing a dead body, but it was his second time killing someone. Although it was Red who killed Bun Tal, Red was his bonded spirit beast, so it wasn''t much different from him doing the killing himself.


    Blaze Regret took a deep breath, suppressing his inner discomfort. He knew very well that he couldn''t stay on tall Mountain for long. Who knew if there were other spirit master together with Bun Tal? There must be accomplices nearby, possibly even a third tier spiritual imperial spirit master.

 Chapter 117 - 117 Stone Mushroom Monster 1

    If he encountered a third tier spiritual Imperial spirit master, no matter how much Blaze Regret schemed, in the face of absolute strength, he might not even have the hope of escaping.


    Without hesitation, Blaze Regret squatted down and began searching Bun Tal''s bloody corpse. Bun Tal was a second tier spiritual Imperial spirit master, so he should have a lot of valuable possessions.


    Very soon, a pile of items appeared beside Blaze Regret.


    After ensuring nothing was missed, Blaze Regret first picked up a token. This token had special inscriptions to prevent forgery. The front had the character ''Rock,'' and the back had the character ''Desolate.''


    Undoubtedly, this was an identity token.


    After storing the token, Blaze Regret casually picked up a crystal about the size of a baby''s fist. There were more than ten such crystals in total, all of them red in colour and translucent, looking no different from regular crystals.


    The difference was that when holding the crystal, Blaze Regret could feel a special energy. Judging by the nature of the energy, it was fundamentally different from a spirit core."


    "In addition to these, there was also a void realms stones."


    "Damn, a Flame Crystal! Does that mean there''s a fire source vein around here?"


    Master Magi, who had initially shown no interest, snapped his book shut abruptly and even let out a rare curse.


    Blaze Regret stared unblinkingly at the red crystal in his hand. Even though he didn''t know what it was, Master Magi''s reaction made it clear that it was something extraordinary.


    First of all we need to find place to heal your wound first. After finding a perfect place, Master Magi put a barrier to protect Blaze Regret and Red from any harm.


    It take 5 day for Blaze Regret to heal but Red only take two day to heal from it injury. After heal Red go hunting wild spirit beast for meal and spirit core.


    After Blaze Regret injury heal. Master Magi ask him to take out the Flame crystal. Using the flame crystal it will show where the location of fire source vein. What next? Ask Blaze Regret.


    "Just roll the Flame Fire Crystal around on the ground, and you''ll know where exactly it is," Master Magi, perched on a tree trunk.


    Beside him, Blaze Regret kept his lips tightly pressed together, making no noise at all. Red, perched on his shoulder, also held its breath, its small ears twitching.


    "Found it!"


    Finally, Blaze Regret and Master Magi stood before a black cave entrance, Their face filled with indescribable excitement. "The fire source vein should be below. Red, you go in first."


    The Red went in with carefull step and ready if they is a ambush, Red grasped the cave entrance with its claw, and leaped down.


    "Thud!"


    Straightening up slowly, Blaze Regret found himself in a red passageway. Countless red crystals were embedded in the walls, emitting a soft glow.


    These were all Flame Crystals. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t get distracted. While Flame Crystals are valuable, there are things in a fire source vein a thousand times better than these crystals," Master Magi scold when he saw Blaze Regret''s eyes light up.


    With great effort, Blaze Regret tore his gaze away from the crystals and, with Red, began to walk deeper into the passageway.


    They walked along the fiery red passage for an unknown length of time. Just as Blaze Regret was beginning to feel oppressed by the constant red.


    One faint voices finally reached his ears.


    "So strange, the end is just ahead. Why haven''t i seen any trace of the Stone Mushroom Monsters yet?"


    "I remember, Stone Mushroom Monsters, these spiritual beasts, love enclosed spaces. I guess they must be behind these Flame Crystals right now."


    "Bang!"


    As soon as the person finished speaking, a loud sound echoed through the passage, causing Blaze Regret''s body to instinctively tense up.


    "Haha, lucky, i were right!"


    Seeing several gray spiritual beasts clinging to the Flame Crystal walls, The Person couldn''t help but shout excitedly, "I only want that one, the rest i can sell for high price."


    Just as he took a few steps forward, The person suddenly turned around and shouted sternly, "Who''s there? Show yourself!"


    "There''s no one..."


    That person''s voice trailed off, and the latter part of his sentence got stuck in his throat when he saw Blaze Regret slowly walking out from behind, looking helpless.


    "Who are you?" How did you find this place? Only two person know this place. One is me and other one is Bun Tal. That person clenched his fist, his eyes bursting with a cold, murderous intent.


    "You know Bun Tal?" Blaze Regret asked, That person surprised, glancing at Blaze Regret.


    "It''s him, did he told you about this place? Where is he now? He ask me to wait for him here 5 days ago. But now, i don''t where he is. So you want to know where Bun Tal is? Ask Blaze Regret.


    I sorry to disapointent you. Let me help you met him in the heaven. You kill him? " That person said, eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Blaze Regret.


    "Yes, So what will you do?."


    That person looked Blaze Regret up and down with interest. When he noticed that Blaze Regret was just a third grade warrior, he sneered, A third grade spiritual warrior at such a young age is rare. I''ll give you a chance. Come over and kowtow infront me a few times to vent my anger, and I can recommend you to join the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. He never heard any hunting group with that name and what that person connections with the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group.


    "Hey, listen."


    Blaze Regret sighed, his voice slowly filled with exasperation: "Do you find talking to yourselves interesting? Kowtow infront you is something i can''t do, if you''re interested, you can give it a try."


    "Do you want to die?"


    That person turned back, his eyes filled with cold, murderous intent: "Since you''re so ungrateful, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance to live. Wind Barbarian Bear, in ten breaths, cover this passage with this kid''s blood."

 Chapter 118 - 118 Stone Mushroom Monster 2

    Wind barbarian Bear looked indifferently at Blaze Regret and the Red, whose whole body was rising with Blue flames. With a clenched fist, green light wind condensed around it. Stepping with a force that made the fire source mineral veins tremble, it threw a fierce punch.


    "Bang!"


    The air seemed to explode at this moment, and the surging wind made Red''s fur flutter slightly.


    Such an attack made Blaze Regret''s face slightly tense. The fifth grade warrior Wind Barbarian Bear was obviously much Weaker than Bun Tal''s First grade imperial Wind Barbarian Bear. Even without using any spirit techniques, it could deliver such a terrifying blow.


    Seeing this, Red let out a battle filled growl. Its sharp claws spread open, and blazing Blue flames surged up, then it met the attack head on without any avoidance.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks flew, and Red staggered back a few steps, barely stabilizing itself against a fire crystal wall. The Wind Barbarian Bear, surprised that it hadn''t killed the Flame Cat, immediately joined its fists together, raised them high above its head, and slammed them down fiercely.


    With a slight sidestep, Red dodged the Wind Barbarian Bear''s unstoppable strike. Its tail blade swiped out, leaving a long bloody gash on the bear''s arm.


    Competing in strength with Wind Barbarian Bear was clearly unwise. Such spirit beasts possessed overwhelming power, rarely defeated by same grade spirit beasts. But in terms of speed, Wind Barbarian Bear couldn''t keep up with Red at all.


    Feeling the pain in its arm, the Wind Barbarian Bear let out an angry roar and swept its large palm, tearing a long crack in the hard fire crystal wall.


    Rolling on the ground to dodge the attack, Red was about to get up when its fur suddenly stood on end. It quickly rolled another round, just as the Wind Barbarian Bear''s foot stomped heavily on the spot where it had been, causing the ground to cave in.


    The heavy palm strike only caught a few strands of Blue fur, and a look of irritation appeared in Wind Barbarian Bear''s eyes. As it clenched its fist, wind green spiritual energy transformed into sharp wind blade, which then fanned out toward Red with a sweep of its hand.


    Red''s eyes narrowed slightly. Flames surrounded its body, and its aura surged instantly. With a swipe of its tail blade, all the wind blade dissapear.


    "Roar!"


    Wind Barbarian Bear raised both palms, gathering all its spiritual energy. In a blink, a wind blade appear again, ready to attack.


    "I''ve broken this move before," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "How about this one?"


    With a sinister laugh, The person watched as another wind blade formed in Wind Barbarian Bear''s other hand. The ground beneath it sank a few inches from the sudden additional weight.


    "Two of them, huh?"


    Blaze Regret''s voice remained unperturbed. He lifted his face slightly and said softly, "I haven''t broken this one before, but I can break it for you now."


    "Arrogant!" That person sneered dismissively.


    With a low roar, Wind Barbarian Bear launched the two wind blade. They radiated violent energy waves, as if capable of shattering mountains.


    With its eerie Blue eyes, calmly watching the twin wind blade shooting down, the next moment, the Red charged straight up. In the process, its body split into three, each figure with three rapidly spinning fireballs in front.


    The Splitting Shadow is a spirit technique that temporarily splits the body. Each figure is substantial.


    "Boom!"


    With a dull, resounding boom, scattered stones embedded deeply into the ground. Amidst the swirling dust, a Blue figure shot out, panting heavily as it stared at the wind barbarian Bear.


    "Still alive?"


    That person''s eyes narrowed slightly, and then a vicious voice rang out, "Kid, you should be at your limit now. Wind barbarian Bear, charge over and crush that Cat with one palm!"


    Having used the devastating twin wind blade spirit technique, That person''s spiritual power was nearly exhausted. He believed that Blaze Regret, who was merely a third tier spirit warrior, wouldn''t be in much better condition.


    The fifth tier Wind Barbarian Bear, with its physical strength alone, was enough to instantly crush the third tier Blue Flame Demon Cat.


    With a swift motion, Red dodged the Wind Barbarian Bear''s wide palm. Suddenly, a faint mocking expression appeared in its eyes. Three streams of fiery light began to swirl around its body, causing its aura to rapidly ascend to the fourth tier.


    Noticing the sudden increase in Red''s strength, the Wind Barbarian Bear remained indifferent and struck down with another palm. To it, there was no difference between the third and fourth tiers; both were destined to be crushed by its hand.


    However, just as the Wind Barbarian Bear''s palm was about to land, Red let out a soft chirp. Three clusters of Blue demonic fire coalesced, and its entire body shot forward like a rainbow piercing through the sun.


    "Slash!"


    Red''s body directly pierced through the Rock Spirit Bear''s abdomen, sending a jet of blood spraying out.


    With a mid air twist, Red landed lightly on the ground. Its tail hardened immensely and, like a lightning bolt, sliced across the throat of the falling Wind Barbarian Bear.


    This entire scene unfolded in a flash, leaving that person in shock. Just moments ago, the Blue Flame Demon Cat was at a disadvantage, but in the blink of an eye, it had slit the Wind Barbarian Bear''s throat.


    "How can this be?"


    That person stood in a daze. Blaze Regret''s spiritual power was clearly depleted, so how could his Blue Flame Demon Cat still use spirit techniques? S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly that person screen and touch his head. This is the backlash when spirit beast that had be contract died.


    Confirming that the Wind Barbarian Bear was dead, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief. If Red had used Flame Breath while enduring the twin Wind Blade, even if his spiritual power far exceeded that of a third tier spirit warrior, he would have only managed to injure the Wind Barbarian Bear, not kill it. This victory was entirely due to luck.

 Chapter 119 - 119 Stone Mushroom Monster 3 (Bonus)

    Among all of Red''s spirit techniques, Flame Breath undoubtedly consumed the most spiritual power, especially when used in conjunction with the Blue demonic fire.


    That person shivered all over. As he retreated, he tried to sound fierce but was actually trembling, "Boy, do you know my relationship with the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunters? If you kill me, you''ll face endless pursuit in Hildan Town!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret know where Desolate Spirit Hunter from. That also the main place that he want to go. Look like only hunter know how to go there. Blaze Regret''s lips curled into an amused smile hearing what that person said.


    Spirit Imperial were indeed strong to him now, but using them to threaten him? It just showed how naive That person was.


    The Blue flame''s Demon Cat palm trembled, and its sharp claws extended, mercilessly slashing towards That person''s throat.


    However, just as the claws were about to tear That person''s throat, several fiery red tentacles suddenly shot out from the passage ahead, aiming to pierce the Red.


    With a slight narrowing of its Blue eyes, the Red stomped the ground with its Cat palm and quickly retreated. The tentacles, accompanied by the sound of piercing flesh, fiercely pinned the terrified That person to the crystal wall of fire.


    That person opened his mouth, his face twisted, but he couldn''t make any sound. Blood mixed with his damaged internal organs trickled down from the corners of his mouth.


    "Roar!"


    The Red''s eyes turned icy, and the three Blue streams of light swirling around its body suddenly accelerated, its aura surging instantly.


    The sudden scene startled Blaze Regret, who hadn''t had time to react. He could only see the tentacles that had pierced That person''s body wriggling. That person''s body shriveled at a visible speed.


    "Splat!"


    The tentacle suddenly withdrew but didn''t bring out a single drop of blood. That person fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, resembling a dried up mummy. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Lava Octopus."


    A terrifying name suddenly popped into Blaze Regret''s mind. According to legend, in areas rich with flame energy, a type of spirit beast known as the Lava Octopus existed. Any creature caught by it would have their blood drained to form new tentacles.


    Sure enough, from the pitch black passage, a blood red tentacle shot out like lightning, drawing an eerie arc as it aimed to wrap around the Red.


    The tentacle reached in an instant, and the Red''s razor sharp claws slashed fiercely. The sound of metal clashing echoed, yet the seemingly soft tentacle showed not a single scratch.


    "So tough," Blaze Regret''s face darkened. The Red''s claws could tear even a sixth rank spirit beast, yet the Lava Octopus remained unscathed.


    Dodging the Red''s attack, an angry growl echoed from the depths of the dark passage. Fiery red tentacles adhered to the crystal wall of fire, then yanked forcefully.


    "Swish!"


    The Lava Octopus''s form fully emerged, its eyes cold and spinning rapidly. It then lunged at the Red like a flaming wheel.


    In an instant, the entire passage was filled with the Lava Octopus''s body, and the piercing sound of the wind filled the air.


    "Buzz!"


    The Red stared coldly at the approaching Lava Octopus, spreading its Cat claws. Blue red fire ball appeared, darting out like streams of light.


    The spinning Lava Octopus collided with the sharp fire ball in a flash, sending fiery ripples outward.


    With a roar of pain, the Lava Octopus''s body stilled, its tentacles spread wide like a spider''s web, filling the entire passage. The fire ball clashed against the crystal wall of fire, igniting sparks.


    For a moment, the Lava Octopus and the Red stood at opposite ends of the passage, glaring at each other in a standoff that seemed ready to explode.


    "This big guy really picked the wrong time to show up," Blaze Regret muttered anxiously. The fire source vein that had impressed Master Magi was certainly extraordinary, but with the Lava Octopus blocking the way, he and the Red couldn''t get through.


    The Red, having used the Blue Flame Demon Fire, was already at its peak state. Even so, it couldn''t harm the Lava Octopus. It was clear that continuing the fight would be futile.


    Wait a moment, Red eat this spirit beast food to replenish your energy faster.


    "Whoo!"


    As the Red Eat the spirit beast food, the previously exhausted Red immediately raised its little head high. Blue flames, surged up dramatically.


    The Red instantly became more aggressive, charging straight at the Lava Octopus with its Blue Flame Demon Fire. Blinding sparks continuously flickered in the passage.


    As time passed, the prolonged expenditure of spiritual energy finally showed in the Lava Octopus''s eyes, which began to show signs of fatigue. Meanwhile, the Red fought with increasing ferocity, its swift claws striking faster and faster.


    At last, the Lava Octopus showed a look of terror. With a crunch, its tentacles smashed through the crystal wall of fire and burrowed inside, while its plump body clung tightly to the wall, remaining immovable despite the Red''s fire ring attacks.


    "Save your strength."


    At this moment, Master Magi finally revealed himself. He glanced at the Lava Octopus, now looking like a large red lump, and said with a faint smile, "It''s already given up. A Lava Octopus that admits defeat will hide its tentacles and expose only its body. Its body is the softest yet hardest part to break. Even if your flame Cat reaches the seventh rank, it may not be able to tear it apart."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but twitch his mouth. How could there be such a shameless spirit beast on the continent? It acted all fierce and relentless when attacking others, but as soon as it couldn''t win, it started to play dead.


    The Red, seeing the red lump clinging to the fiery crystal wall, was also curious. It gently prodded with its paw, causing the Lava Octopus''s body to wobble like jelly.


    "Shameless!"


    Blaze Regret walked over and gave the Lava Octopus a hard kick. Apart from making its tentacles tighten and cling more closely to the fiery crystal wall, it had no other effect.

 Chapter 120 - 120 Flame Sun Fish

    "Phew!"


    Blaze Regret sighed lightly, picked up the rock that got broken from the fight, and doodled a turtle on the Lava Octopus''s round body, erasing the head afterward. Only then did he clap his hands in satisfaction and walk deeper into the passage.


    Deep within the passage, the fire light gradually faded. The fire crystal walls here were dim, and it was the same even deeper inside.


    Several mushroom caps, resembling round lids, were tightly attached to the Fire crystal walls. Wisps of flame light streamed into their bodies.


    "Master Magi, are these the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts?" Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over these peculiar creatures as he curiously asked.


    "Indeed, Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts. They are rock type spirit beasts that are naturally drawn to Fire crystals. Through the tempering of the Fire crystal''s energy, their bodies become even tougher," Master Magi said with a faint smile as he flipped through a tattered book.


    Blaze Regret smacked his lips lightly, a hint of excitement emerging in his eyes. Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts were also high level spirit beasts, and they seemed much stronger than the Wind Barbarian Bears. If he could take them out and sell them somewhere, he wouldn''t have to worry about money for a short time.


    He brushed his hand across his waist, and a spirit realms stone appeared in his hand. Blaze Regret infused it with his spirit energy, causing a Blue light to emanate and envelop one of the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts.


    "Why isn''t it working?" Blaze Regret furrowed his brows in confusion as he watched the Rock Mushroom Spirit beast remain completely still.


    "Of course not. Do you think they are young spirit beast, with no sense of resistance?" Master Magi shook his head with a wry smile. With a wave of his hand, a golden blade of light flashed out, slicing through the Fire crystal wall to which the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts were attached.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret quickly infused his spirit energy into the spirit realms stone again. This time, a flash of earth yellow light appeared, and the rapidly shrinking Rock Mushroom Spirit beast was swiftly absorbed into the spirit realms stone. The small crystal in the center of the spirit stone turned to a color resembling rock.


    With a joyful expression, Blaze Regret hurriedly took out the remaining spirit realms stones and collected all the Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts, a total of four.


    "Could this be the end?" Blaze Regret looked towards the depths of the passage, where a pitch black Fire crystal wall stood.


    "How could it be? We''re just getting started," Master Magi chuckled and shook his head. He then placed his hand on the Fire crystal wall and applied a little force. Instantly, the pitch black Fire crystal wall shattered like fragile glass.


    "Wow!"


    As soon as the Fire crystal wall at the end shattered, a scorching wave of heat surged forward, causing Blaze Regret''s robe to flutter wildly.


    "So hot," Blaze Regret muttered, wiping away the sweat that trickled down his face. Despite the heat, a sense of joy welled up within him. There was no doubt that the depths of this fire source mine were a paradise for fire type spirit beasts.


    With a flick of his remaining spirit realms stone, four glowing Night Feather Fireflies emerged, their wings as thin as cicada wings fluttering as they flew out, illuminating the dark pit.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret followed the four Night Feather Fireflies deeper into the fire source mine. Behind him, the Red continued to hop and sputter, releasing the remaining violent energy of the Black Flame Mud.


    "Tap! Tap!"


    Hot flame particles swept in from deeper within, and in the quiet passage, only the soft sound of their footsteps echoed.


    "Damn!"


    Focused on the path ahead, Blaze Regret suddenly found himself stepping into thin air, nearly falling. Regaining his balance, he looked down and his eyes widened in shock.


    Below was a vast cavern with scalding magma flowing slowly, white mist rising from its surface. Only a few protruding rocks were not covered by the magma.


    Swallowing hard, cold sweat instantly beaded on Blaze Regret''s forehead. If he fell, he would either be crushed to death or scalded alive by the magma.


    "Having fun?" Master Magi asked, arms crossed, a mocking smile on his lips.


    Blaze Regret could only roll his eyes in response.


    After a moment of contemplation, Blaze Regret took a rope out of his void realms stone. But as soon as it dangled down, a flame ignited at its end, quickly racing up and turning the entire rope to ashes in an instant.


    "How are we supposed to get down there?" Blaze Regret asked helplessly, shrugging as he watched the ashes scatter in the air.


    "At critical moments, your master has to step in."


    Master Magi smiled faintly and flicked his finger. A golden energy shield instantly enveloped Blaze Regret and the Red, slowly lowering them downwards.


    "It won''t get burned, will it?" Blaze Regret poked the energy shield, his face full of apprehension.


    Hearing this, Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret, feeling slightly insulted.


    "Sss!"


    The golden energy shield landed on the magma and sank slightly before floating on the surface.


    With a wave of his hand, Master Magi propelled the energy shield forward, creating a long trail across the magma as if it were water. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Snap!"


    A clear collision sound echoed as a ripple spread across the surface of the energy shield. Blaze Regret turned around in shock, only to see a fish, glowing with flames, fall back into the magma. It was evident that this creature had just collided with the energy shield.


    "Flame Sun Fish, it only grows in magma. If consumed by a fire type spirit beast, it can enhance its spiritual power. Conversely, if the Flame Sun Fish consumes a fire type spirit beast, its own strength will increase substantially," Master Magi explained calmly.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as Master Magi finished speaking, a much larger Flame Sun Fish, dozens of times bigger than the previous one, leaped out of the magma before falling back in. Its appearance suggested it had already reached the ninth rank mid level warrior grade!

 Chapter 121 - 121 Fishing

    "Master Magi, if Red consumes that creature, can it advance to the next level?" Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed with excitement.


    "I think the possibility of it being eaten is higher," Master Magi replied with a playful nod.


    "Roar!"


    Red waved its claws, looking indignant.


    Although the Flame Sun Fish is of the ninth rank, it is only at the mid level warrior grade. With Red''s strength, using the Flame Breath, the sharp Flame Claw are enough to tear through its defenses.


    "Don''t be so defiant. This fire source vein is the territory of the Flame Sun Fish. They can easily call a group of fish to come out," Master Magi said, giving Red a casual glance.


    "Is there any way to get them onto the shore?" Blaze Regret asked, looking at the exposed rocky ground not far away, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.


    "Of course. The Flame Sun Fish is the greatest treasure of the fire source vein, so we can''t waste it."


    Master Magi clenched his palm, turning a Flame Sun Fish that had jumped to attack the energy shield into a drop of crimson liquid, and then tossed it to Red.


    Red''s eyes lit up as it swallowed the liquid formed from the Flame Sun Fish. Instantly, flames surged on its claws, a sign of spiritual power rapidly circulating, reaching the pinnacle effect when used in conjunction with the Black Flame Mud.


    Moving to the edge of the rocky ground, the golden energy shield exploded with a snap, pushing back the pursuing Flame Sun Fish in an instant.


    "Tsk tsk, we can relax a bit today."


    Master Magi looked at the towering stone marrow on the rocky ground and suddenly raised an eyebrow, chuckling lightly.


    As his foot tentatively stepped out, Blaze Regret was surprised to find that the rocky ground was actually cold, in stark contrast to the scorching lava at the edge.


    "Fishing, how do you fish?" Blaze Regret curiously asked Master Magi.


    Master Magi faintly smiled and rubbed his hands together. As spiritual energy gathered, a long fishing rod materialized, shimmering with a golden light.


    "With a fishing rod, you need bait."


    Master Magi''s gaze shifted slightly, staring at the towering stone marrow. He waved his hand, and the stone marrow instantly shattered, leaving behind a kind of crystalline red jade marrow. sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This thing is called Flame Spirit Marrow. When the Flame Sun Fish eats it, it can grow quickly. Fortunately, the lava didn''t reach here, otherwise, this thing would have been completely destroyed," Master Magi explained to Blaze Regret, picking up a bit of the crystalline red jade marrow.


    "Are we using this as bait?" Blaze Regret asked excitedly. Every part of this fire source mine fascinated him, a rookie who had just left town not long ago.


    "Watch."


    Master Magi sat cross legged in mid air, rolled a small piece of Flame Spirit Marrow into a ball, placed it on the hook, and then with a flick of his arm, the golden fishing line dropped into the lava.


    The float bobbed up and down. Before long, Master Magi''s hand twitched, and the fishing line leaped. A third tier Flame Sun Fish fell onto the rocky ground, struggling to return to the lava.


    Seeing this, Red hurriedly pounced on it. The Flame Sun Fish, which had been slapping the ground, instantly turned into a drop of red liquid and was swallowed by Red.


    Licking its lips, Red''s eyes showed a fiery gleam. As the beneficiary, it naturally knew how beneficial this liquid from the Flame Sun Fish was for it.


    "I''ve shown you the method. You can play by yourself. I won''t interfere," Master Magi said, tossing the fishing rod to Blaze Regret and lazily lying down on a rock.


    Taking the fishing rod, Blaze Regret gently caressed it a few times, then imitated Master Magi''s actions, rolling the Flame Spirit Marrow into a small ball, placing it on the hook, and lightly casting it out.


    However, to Blaze Regret''s frustration, before he could reel in the line, the Flame Spirit Marrow on the hook was already nibbled clean by the Flame Sun Fish.


    "Let''s try again."


    Glancing at Red, who was squatting nearby, Blaze Regret stubbornly cast the line again. The result was the same: the cunning Flame Sun Fish were not without intelligence. After licking off the Flame Spirit Marrow, they immediately let go, their tails slapping the lava as they shot Blaze Regret a mocking look from the shore.


    Blaze Regret twitched his mouth but remained undeterred. Finally, on the fifth try, he managed to catch a fourth tier Flame Sun Fish.


    Under Red''s paw, the Flame Sun Fish turned into red liquid. Surprisingly, this time it produced two drops, which swirled together before being absorbed by Red.


    Noting Red smacking its lips, Blaze Regret had a thought: it seemed the higher the tier of the Flame Sun Fish, the more golden liquid it produced. He wondered how many drops the largest Flame Sun Fish in the lava lake could turn into.


    After swallowing dozens of drops of red liquid, Red finally slowed its consumption, squatting on the ground to digest the excess energy within.


    Blaze Regret''s hands, however, did not stop. He continued to reel in one Flame Sun Fish after another, until eventually, a scattering of red liquid droplets, like pearls, covered the rocky ground.


    Just as Blaze Regret was enjoying the fishing, attaching another piece of Flame Spirit Marrow to the hook, he suddenly noticed something. At the spot where they had descended, a spirit beast was watching them eagerly, it was the Lava Octopus.


    "What does it want?" Blaze Regret was speechless. This Lava Octopus was constantly redefining his understanding of spirit beasts.


    "What else could it want? It''s eyeing the flame energy from the Flame Sun Fish. It doesn''t dare come down itself, with so many high tier Flame Sun Fish in the lava lake, one bite from each would tear it apart," Master Magi remarked leisurely from where he lay resting on a rock.

 Chapter 122 - 122 Fire Spike Ring

    The Lava Octopus, perched on a high spot, had its eyes wide open, its soft tentacles waving in a cutesy manner


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s face darkened. He had met many shameless people, but this was his first time encountering a shameless spirit beast. Just a while ago, it had tried to kill them, and now it was putting on such an expression.


    Watching the Lava Octopus fidget restlessly, Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. "Let''s bring it down. Red is digesting slowly, and the excess would just go to waste anyway."


    "Suit yourself." Master Magi flicked his fingers, and a golden energy shield enveloped the Lava Octopus, bringing it down to the rocky surface.


    The Lava Octopus landed cautiously, casting a wary glance at Blaze Regret and Red. When its gaze fell on Master Magi, it trembled, its eyes filled with deep fear; in its perception, Master Magi was an absolutely terrifying existence.

    Seeing that Master Magi paid it no heed, the Lava Octopus relaxed with a sigh of relief. Its tentacle curled around and, while Red was not paying attention, sneakily shoved a drop of red liquid into its mouth.


    "This level of shamelessness would do well even in the Spirit Master realm," Blaze Regret remarked, both amused and exasperated by the Lava Octopus''s antics.


    At that moment, Red suddenly squatted down, spreading its paws. On one paw, the Fire Spike Ring rapidly appeared.


    "Hmm?" Master Magi slightly opened his eyes, observing Red with a contemplative look.


    Red''s body trembled slightly, pain evident on its face as all its spirit energy surged towards its right paw, causing the energy there to churn even more violently.


    "Buzz!"


    In the next instant, the churning spirit energy rapidly condensed, and in a blink, a Fire shape like Spike Ring, , materialized!


    "Is that... Fire Spike Rings?" Blaze Regret''s mouth gaped in astonishment. He hadn''t expected that after absorbing the energy from the Flame Sun Fish, Red would not use it to enhance its strength but instead use it to learn new technique Fire Spike Ring!


    The Fire Spike Ring was already enough to slay a seventh tier spirit beast!


    Realizing this, Blaze Regret felt his mouth go dry. Although the Spirit Skill Flame Breath played a part, the thought of jumping four tiers in combat prowess was something unimaginable in the past.


    "Whoosh!"


    After maintaining this state for a while, Red suddenly wobbled, and the Fire Spike Rings uncontrollably shot out, skimming across the lava and leaving long trails behind.


    "So that''s how it is. The spirit energy consumed by Fire Spike Rings is not simply additive but exponentially greater. It seems that condensing the Fire Spike Rings has drained all of Red''s spirit energy, making it impossible to maintain their operation any longer," Master Magi''s thoughts raced. Even so, he looked at Red with newfound respect.


    Achieving this feat showed that Red''s intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary spirit beasts.


    Seeing the Fire Spike Rings fly out, the Lava Octopus shivered, and the red droplet on its tentacle slipped off, splashing onto the ground with a plop. From those Fire Spike Rings, it sensed a chilling aura.


    With a swift motion of its tentacle, it gathered a large pile of the pearl like red liquid from the ground. The Lava Octopus then retreated to a corner, slowly consuming the liquid, fearful that one wrong move from Red might result in it being cleaved in two.


    In the spacious cave, magma flowed slowly, and a scorching heat rose from it. Bubbles burst on the surface of the magma, releasing white mist that made the air appear slightly distorted. On one side of the magma was a stretch of green rocky ground, where a man and a Cat sat quietly.


    After a while, Blaze Regret gently put down his fishing rod, and the nearby Red let out a breath of hot air that merged with the waves of fire surging from the magma.


    "Buzz!"


    Red spread its claws, and a rings of Blue fire spikes floated above its palms, rotating slowly and emitting a slight whistling sound.


    In an instant, Red clenched its claws slightly, and the rings of fire spikes turned into wisps of Blue flames and dissipated.


    "To control them freely, you would need to advance to the fourth tier; otherwise, there won''t be enough spiritual power," Master Magi said calmly.


    Hearing this, Red drooped its little ears, clearly dissatisfied with the result.


    "After absorbing so much essence from the Flame sun fish, your little Cat has completely stabilized at this stage. To advance to the fourth tier, it just needs an opportunity," Master Magi said with a smile.


    Blaze Regret nodded helplessly and sighed inwardly. How could he not understand these principles? But such opportunities were hard to come by.


    Raising his face slightly, Blaze Regret looked at the stone wall behind him and suddenly his pupils contracted slightly.


    Hurriedly standing up, Blaze Regret walked quickly to the stone wall, wiped his hand over it, and a stone lock like object appeared in his view.


    "A lock? Could it be that there''s a door hidden inside this stone wall?" Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly.


    "Finally noticed, did you?" Master Magi floated up and said with a smile.


    Red saw Blaze Regret directing his gaze over and swiped its claws, sending the fire spike rings shooting out. However, they dissipated upon touching the stone lock.


    "Always relying on brute force," Master Magi said, giving Blaze Regret a sidelong glance.


    Floating in front of the stone lock, Master Magi traced the patterns on it with his palm, a strange light flickering in his eyes.


    "This stone lock was actually forged by a spirit Lord expert. To open it, you need the key. If you try to force it open, the array inside will automatically reinforce itself, and it won''t be able to be opened again for three months," Master Magi said slowly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret immediately frowned. Judging by the dust on it, this was something left from many years ago. Even if there was a key, who knew where it could be?

 Chapter 123 - 123 Blue Wing Flower 1

    As Blaze Regret''s eyes scanned around for the key, the lava octopus that had been hiding and secretly consuming the essence of the Flame sun fish suddenly rolled its eyes. It opened its mouth slightly and spat out a rusty key.


    The lava octopus raised the key high with its tentacles, looking somewhat pleased with itself.


    "A key?" Blaze Regret felt a bit dazed. Just when he needed one, it appeared. Seeing the smug look on the lava octopus, he suddenly felt a sense of unreality.


    After wiping off the liquid on it, Blaze Regret gently inserted the key into the lock. With a creaking sound, the stone walls on both sides quickly parted and moved away.


    Watching the moving stone walls, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief and immediately commanded four Night Feather Fireflies to fly in. Their faint light dispelled the darkness behind the stone wall.


    "Boom!"


    Red opened its mouth and spat, causing a Blue flare to explode inside, but no reaction followed. Only then did Blaze Regret feel reassured enough to walk in slowly, though his body remained tense, ready to respond to any sudden situation.


    The space behind the stone wall was a vast dark room. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s gaze wandered around before finally focusing on a table in the middle of the room. On the tabletop was an exotic Blue flower, blooming mysteriously, with a faint Blue glow flowing over its petals.


    As Blaze Regret stared at the flower, he suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that the flower had only half bloomed and hadn''t fully opened.


    "What a beautiful flower."


    Blaze Regret''s steps moved uncontrollably towards the table. Suddenly, a blue light blade shot out violently from the stone wall on the right, slashing fiercely at Blaze Regret.


    "Hmph, if one dies, so be it. Why leave all this troublesome stuff behind?"


    Master Magi waved his sleeve, and with a sweep of wind, Blaze Regret quickly retreated. The blue light blade embedded itself into the opposite stone wall with a clang. Immediately, countless light blades shot out from both sides of the stone walls, creating streaks of afterimages.


    "That flower is strange!" Blaze Regret''s face turned extremely grim. He was almost sliced into pieces.


    "It''s not the flower; it''s the stone table beneath the flower," Master Magi shook his head slightly. He opened his palm and then clenched it abruptly. The blue light blades that had been shooting incessantly suddenly froze in mid air and then shattered with a crisp crack.


    "Now, go ahead."


    Floating in front, Master Magi saw Blaze Regret, who was still shaken, and motioned for him to follow. Blaze Regret hurriedly followed while cursing the instigator under his breath. He was just a spiritual warrior; even if he knew what was inside, he wouldn''t be able to handle it.


    "But something doesn''t seem right," Blaze Regret muttered as he walked. He had only made it past the magma with Master Magi''s help. If it were anyone else without the strength of a spirit Lord, they wouldn''t even think about coming here.


    With a wave of his sleeve, a faint white mist spread over the surface of the stone table. The curious lava octopus that followed immediately felt drowsy and finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground.


    "Netherworld Flower powder. This substance can bewilder the mind, and even spiritual Lord can''t resist it," Master Magi explained.


    "And this flower..." Blaze Regret glanced at Red, who was eyeing the flower greedily, and couldn''t help but ask.


    "Blue Wing Flower. It''s said that when it fully blooms, each petal will spread out like wings in the wind, hence the name. As for its specific effects, you''ll have to wait for your Flame Cat to refine it," Master Magi''s words confirmed Blaze Regret''s suspicion that the flower had only half bloomed.


    "Can it be ripened?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi with an eager expression, much like the lava octopus earlier. The feeling of only being able to see but not use the flower was excruciating; it was almost better not to have discovered it at all.


    "Ripening it is too difficult. This kind of flower is extremely fragile. However, as long as there''s an abundance of fire elemental energy, this flower will surely bloom ahead of time."


    Master Magi smiled faintly and with a swirl of his sleeve, the scattered crimson liquid outside the stone wall quickly gathered and merged into a single mass. In the palm of Master Magi''s hand, it spun wildly, becoming visibly more concentrated.


    "Go."


    Master Magi flicked his finger, and the fire red liquid floated above the eerie flower. After hovering for a moment, it gently dripped down.


    The fire liquid flowed into the heart of the flower. The Blue wing flower was surrounded by a faint mist, and each petal quickly unfurled.


    "Not enough."


    Master Magi said calmly, opening his palm and aiming at the lava lake outside, then clenching his fist abruptly.


    "Boom!"


    Pillars of lava shot up instantly, along with flying Flame sun fish. All those fish exploded, turning into droplets of red liquid that gathered into Master Magi''s palm.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret felt an overwhelming urge to curse. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Master Magi.


    "Cultivation is too tense; it''s good to relax a bit."


    Master Magi chuckled mischievously. The dense liquid in his palm dripped down, causing the Blue wing flower to sway, exuding a vibrant life force.


    As the droplets fell, the purple flower became more and more radiant. Each petal was so dense it seemed ready to drip with water. When they slightly spread, they looked like luxurious wings.


    "Did it succeed?" Blaze Regret asked, delighted as he looked at the Blue wing flower.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s delighted voice echoed, the Blue wing flower suddenly trembled. Beams of light intertwined around it, rapidly breaking free from the soil in the flowerpot and shooting towards the stone wall.


    "I knew it."


    Master Magi grinned. A powerful suction force erupted from his palm, causing the blue wing flower to feel as if it was stuck in mud, unable to move.

 Chapter 124 - 124 Blue Wing Flower 2 (Bonus)

    As Master Magi''s hand lowered, the blue wing flower slowly descended, carefully cradled between the claws of the Red Flame.


    "It can actually fly¡­" Blaze Regret was speechless. If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a flower could run faster than him.


    "The strange tales and anecdotes of the continent, whether you''ve heard of them or seen them, are far too few," Master Magi said with a shake of his head and a smile. To him, Blaze Regret was like a fledgling bird that had not truly seen the world. Of course, even those so called Spirit Imperial and Spirit Lord were the same in his eyes.


    Licking its tongue lightly, Red blinked its eyes and swallowed the blue wing flower in one gulp. After a satisfied burp, it smacked its lips, still wanting more.


    "Oooh!"


    After swallowing the blue wing flower, Red slowly closed its eyes. It could feel the flower rapidly breaking down inside its body, then flowing along its meridians, gathering in its eyes.


    Suddenly, a wave of pain filled its eyeballs. The veins around Red''s eyes bulged like earthworms, gently throbbing.


    "What''s happening!" Blaze Regret''s heart raced as he saw Red twitching in pain.


    "I thought the blue wing flower would enhance its claws, but it turns out it''s strengthening its eyes," Master Magi muttered softly.


    "Oooh!"


    Red howled to the sky, blue ripples spreading from its eyes. As time passed, the ripples grew more intense.


    After a moment of silence, Red''s eyes suddenly opened, shooting out two blue beams that left clear marks on the hard stone wall. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the beams faded, Red''s blue eyes shimmered with a demonic light. When Blaze Regret met its gaze, he felt a sudden sense of confusion. The scenery around him changed rapidly, and in an instant, he found himself back in the forest surrounding four wild low tier wind Wolfs and ome high tier wind wolfs .


    Seeing the five wind wolfs closing in quickly, Blaze Regret''s soul almost left his body as he hurriedly summoned a barrier of Fire Flame.


    "Oooh!"


    At that moment, Red''s soft chirp suddenly brought Blaze Regret back to reality. The secret chamber behind the stone wall was still within his sight.


    "Interesting."


    Master Magi grinned. "A mutated spirit skill of the cat spirit? Its charm effect far surpasses that of an ordinary cat spirit. Forget about you, even a Spirit Imperial standing here would fall for it."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret looked at the smug Red in astonishment. He hadn''t expected that this little fellow would gain such a significant benefit from the blue wing flower.


    "And what about those two beams?" Blaze Regret pointed to the scratches on the wall, swallowing hard.


    "Preliminary assessment suggests they can rival mid level Imperial grade spirit skills. Moreover, if its eyes continue to be enhanced in the future, the power of these beams will further increase," Master Magi replied with a smile.


    Looking into Red''s blue eyes made Blaze Regret feel dizzy. This was a mid level Imperial grade spirit skill, far more formidable than the Ring of Fire Spikes!


    Moreover, after refining the blue wing flower, Red''s strength naturally reached the fourth tier.


    "Alright, the valuable items in this Fire Source Vein have all been collected. Rest for the night and prepare to leave," Master Magi said solemnly.


    Nodding, Blaze Regret took out some jerky from the void realmz Stone and spirit beast food for Red. The Lava Octopus, having regained its strength, shamelessly came over, acting as if it were very familiar with Blaze Regret and ate heartily, completely ignoring Red''s cold glare.


    After eating and drinking his fill, Blaze Regret yawned softly, then took out a piece of thin cloth from the void realms Stone, spread it on the ground, and lay down. A full day of non stop activity had truly drained his energy.


    Having just broken through, Red was evidently full of energy. It hopped around and went to the magma lake, using its tail to fish for Flame sun fish.


    Seeing this, the Lava Octopus looked at Red with a face full of admiration, bowing down beside it. The next day, when Blaze Regret saw the Lava Octopus using its tentacles to massage Red''s back, he was utterly dumbfounded.


    "How much can we sell these Flame Crystals for?" Blaze Regret asked reluctantly as they walked through the passage.


    "Hehe, this is just the beginning. There are countless treasured places on the continent. In the future, you will see places hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times better than this," Master Magi said with a carefree smile.


    Climbing out from the cave bottom, Blaze Regret saw the sun in the forest and couldn''t help but take a deep breath of the cool air. The violent fire elements in the mine had almost made his breath feel scorching.


    Seeing Blaze Regret and the others all come out, the Lava Octopus waved its tentacle and tossed out a fire attribute spirit core before quickly retreating back into the cave.


    "Slap!"


    Catching the spirit core with one hand, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Spirit beasts were rare in the Fire Source Vein, and spirit cores were even rarer. The Lava Octopus must have considered this thing a treasure and gave it to him.


    Shaking his head with a faint smile, Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi. "Wait a moment, I''ll restore this place to its original state."


    Without waiting for Master Magi''s reply, Blaze Regret stuffed all the surrounding soil back into the cave, filling it tightly until there was no sign that it had ever been a passage.


    As for the surface, Blaze Regret didn''t bother too much. The mountain range had many spirit beasts, and battles were frequent, so the ground being damaged like this was quite common.


    After walking for a while, a somewhat dilapidated inn appeared in Blaze Regret''s sight.


    "Go to the inn. Many members of Spirit Hunting groups usually choose to rest there," Master Magi whispered.

 Chapter 125 - 125 Meeting Muk Karthik Again (Bonus)

    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret, dragging his somewhat tired steps, entered the inn. His arrival did not attract anyone''s attention; after all, there were too many adventurers like him every day.


    "Have you heard? A group of bandits appeared recently in the north. They kill everyone they see and rob everything, extremely rampant."


    "Oh, I thought it was some news. The leader is just a fourth tier spiritual warrior. A few days ago, he was dealt with by a passing spiritual Imperial."


    "That''s a shame; I wanted to see for myself."


    "You? Don''t be ridiculous. You might see it but won''t come back alive."


    As soon as Blaze Regret sat down, the sound of bragging and idle chatter immediately filled the air. Every voice was particularly rough.


    With a discreet glance around, Blaze Regret found that the strength of those in the inn was not particularly high. The most prominent one was just a fourth tier spiritual warrior.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret had a general idea. Unlike in Veloria City, this was just a small place. A slightly stronger spiritual warrior here was considered a strong person, not to mention a spiritual Imperial.


    "It certainly is a suitable place for training."


    Blaze Regret picked up a teacup and took a gentle sip, trying to adapt to the atmosphere here.


    "Young Master Blaze?"


    At that moment, a voice filled with disbelief suddenly rang out, causing Blaze Regret to pause.


    He saw a spiritual warrior at a nearby table holding a wine cup, staring at him in a daze, his face full of confusion, as if he couldn''t believe what he was seeing.


    "Muk Karthik?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with surprise upon seeing the person. He hadn''t expected to run into someone he knew in such a remote place.


    "It''s really you?"


    Seeing this, Muk Karthik hurriedly carried his wine cup over, quickly sat down opposite Blaze Regret, and exclaimed in astonishment, "Young Master Blaze, what are you doing here?"


    "Just call me Blaze Regret. I''m here for some training, that''s all," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    "Young Blaz, Blaze Regret, this place is very different from Veloria City. People here are treacherous, and there are many fierce spiritual beasts. You never know when you might lose your head. It''s nowhere near as safe as in the city," Muk Karthik warned.


    "Are those your friends?" Blaze Regret glanced at a few people who were looking their way and smiled lightly, not wanting to continue the previous topic.


    "Yes, let me introduce them to you. The strongest one is Yun Anuar, our Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group''s leader, a seventh tier spiritual warrior. The girl next to him is Yun Suhaila, a third tier spiritual warrior. As for the other one, his name is Xen kai, also a third tier spiritual warrior like Yun Suhaila," Muk Karthik introduced them one by one.


    As Muk Karthik introduced them, Yun Anuar gave Blaze Regret a hearty smile, while Yun Suhaila lowered her head and continued eating, seemingly uninterested in Blaze Regret. Xen Kai, on the other hand, showed a faint expression of disdain.


    Since leaving Veloria City, Blaze Regret had Red use Cat Charm to disguise his strength, making him appear as a first tier spiritual warrior. No wonder Yun Suhaila and Xen Kai had such expressions.


    "Don''t mind him, Blaze Regret. Xen Kai is just like that, he looks down on everyone and rarely puts anyone in his eyes," Muk Karthik said with an awkward smile, somewhat regretting introducing these people to Blaze Regret.


    After all, Blaze Regret''s apparent strength was only that of a first tier spiritual warrior. In the outside world, where strength was paramount, no one cared about his background as a young master of the Blaze family. Being looked down upon was normal, and in more extreme cases, being robbed and killed wasn''t uncommon.


    "By the way, what does your Spirit Hunting Group usually do?" Blaze Regret asked curiously, showing great interest in this unique organization.


    "Hehe, our Spirit Hunting Group does a variety of things. Whether it''s dealing with spiritual beasts, gathering spiritual herbs, or collecting medicinal materials, we handle it all. In other words, there''s nothing we can''t do," Muk Karthik said, becoming excited as he spoke.


    "Hmph, he''s from a prominent family. A small Spirit Hunting Group might not even catch his eye," Xen Kai said in a sarcastic tone while eating.


    As Xen Kai''s voice spread, the inn suddenly fell silent. One by one, people looked at Blaze Regret with various expressions, ranging from surprise and greed to murderous intent.


    In the lawless wilderness, a family scion was nothing more than a lamb to them. Muk Karthik''s earlier address of Blaze Regret as Young Master Blaze hadn''t drawn any attention, but Xen Kai''s words instantly made everyone realize his identity.


    "Bang!"


    Yun Anuar slammed the table heavily and said fiercely, "What the hell are you all looking at? This is my friend. If anyone keeps staring, I''ll twist their heads off!"


    Under the intimidation of Yun Anuar, a seventh tier spiritual warrior, everyone quickly lowered their heads. After a long while, the inn returned to its previous bustling and noisy state.


    Blaze Regret gave Yun Anuar a grateful smile. Although he wasn''t afraid of these people, attracting their attention would have been troublesome.


    "Hehe, our leader is quite loyal, isn''t he? Don''t worry, with him around, no one will dare to touch you," Muk Karthik said smugly, hiccuping and exhaling a bit of alcohol breath.


    "Whimper~"


    Red lay on the table, its Blue eyes coldly staring at Xen Kai.


    "What a beautiful little Cat."


    Upon seeing Red, the coldness on Yun Suhaila''s face instantly vanished, replaced by a smile as warm as spring water. Within a few breaths, she brought a fragrant breeze with her and sat beside Blaze Regret, reaching out her delicate hand to pet Red''s little head.


    "Swish!"


    Red reflexively shrank its head back, its sharp claws leaving a slight scratch on the back of Yun Suhaila''s hand. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She took a light, sharp breath and quickly withdrew her hand, her beautiful eyes now misted with a faint layer of tears.

 Chapter 126 - 126 Dead weight

    "How dare you scratch Suhaila! You''re courting death!"


    Xen Kai put down his chopsticks and took a few large strides to Blaze Regret''s table, angrily extending his hand to grab Red''s tail, intending to lift it up.


    "Try touching it, and see what happens!"


    Blaze Regret''s face turned cold, and his sharp gaze locked onto Xen Kai.


    Xen Kai was stunned for a moment when he felt Blaze Regret''s cold gaze on him. Immediately, an uncontrollable anger swirled in his eyes. Since when could a mere First Grade Spirit warrior dare to challenge a Third Grade Spirit warrior?


    "So what if I did? What can you do about it?"


    Xen Kai sneered coldly. He raised his hand, intending to grab Red fiercely. He not only wanted to act but wanted to crush this little Cat right in front of Blaze Regret!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with a cold light. He curled his two fingers, and a scorching, fiery red spiritual power emanated. If Xen Kai dared to lower his hand, Blaze Regret was confident he could cripple his entire arm in an instant.


    "Forget it."


    Seeing this, Yun Suhaila hurriedly pushed Xen Kai''s hand away. Even though Red had scratched her, she didn''t blame it. After all, girls are often very fond of such fluffy little animals.


    "Since you say forget it, I''ll let it go this time."


    Xen Kai glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, then turned around and went back to the table to continue eating. However, his gaze still carried a chill as he occasionally glanced at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret slightly frowned and dispersed the spiritual power at his fingertips. He had always been unwilling to deal with such people.


    "Why did it scratch me?" Yun Suhaila sat there, her beautiful eyes full of tears as she stared at Red, looking very aggrieved.


    "It''s afraid of strangers." Blaze Regret smiled helplessly. It seemed that, besides him, Red didn''t let anyone else touch it. The scratch on Yun Suhaila''s hand was entirely accidental.


    "By the way, where are you planning to go for training this time?" Muk Karthik put down his wine glass and asked softly.


    "Hiltan Town," Blaze Regret replied without hiding anything. After all, there was no point in keeping such a thing secret. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "That''s a coincidence; we''re also going to Hiltan Town. Why don''t you come with us?" Muk Karthik''s eyes lit up with excitement.


    "Yes, to get to Hiltan Town, we first have to cross a forest filled with dangers. Coming with us, we can look out for each other," Yun Anuar laughed heartily, extending the invitation as a way to apologize for Xen Kai''s earlier behavior.


    "Why bring him along? A greenhouse sprout like him is just here to warm people up," Xen Kai muttered.


    "I can take care of myself," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "Then it''s settled," Muk Karthik said, full of joy. He had a favorable impression of this approachable young master of the Blaze family. Unlike other family scions who wouldn''t even look at members of a spirit hunting group, Blaze Regret was different.


    "No, I object," Yun Suhaila frowned slightly as she glanced at Blaze Regret, then looked at Yun Anuar. "Father, why bring him along? You know how dangerous the forest is. Having a burden with us will only cause more trouble."


    "You can''t say that. The more people, the more strength we have. Besides, Blaze Regret is Muk Karthik''s friend. We can''t let him cross the forest alone," Yun Anuar persuaded Yun Suhaila.


    "Take care of yourself and don''t hold us back!" Yun Suhaila, seeing that her opposition was futile, glared angrily at Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. Although he wanted to show his true strength, it was always wise to keep some cards hidden when away from home. So, after thinking it over, he decided to let it go.


    "Let''s go after we finish eating," Yun Anuar said, placing a few gold coins on the table before standing up. He hoisted a large sack over his shoulder and called out to the others.


    Muk Karthik led Blaze Regret, quickly following.


    "Are we entering the forest now?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled. Wasn''t it said that the forest is most dangerous at night?


    "People are more dangerous than spirit beasts," Muk Karthik said, seemingly understanding Blaze Regret''s thoughts. He gave Blaze Regret a meaningful look.


    After Yun Anuar left, the inn noticeably became less restrained, and many spirit warriors began shouting loudly, including some vulgar language.


    "Dead weight."


    As he passed by Xen Kai, his disdainful cold snort reached Blaze Regret''s ears.


    "Xen Kai, did you take the wrong medicine?"


    Muk Karthik, annoyed by Xen Kai''s behavior, finally couldn''t help but curse. Blaze Regret was his friend, and Xen Kai''s repeated attempts to trouble Blaze Regret in front of him were undoubtedly embarrassing.


    "Muk Karthik, don''t be fooled by certain people''s appearances. He''s just trying to use you to get through the forest. Once he''s done with you, tsk tsk..." Xen Kai sighed, as if he felt sorry for Muk Karthik. Then he quickened his pace and immediately walked over to Yun Suhaila, trying to strike up a conversation.


    But it was clear that Yun Suhaila wasn''t very interested. Her beautiful eyes occasionally glanced at the Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, showing a desire to come over and touch them. However, the pain on the back of her hand made her suppress this thought.


    "Blaze Regret, don''t blame Yun Suhaila. That little girl is just sharp tongued but soft hearted. The forest is indeed very dangerous," Muk Karthik sighed. "Our Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group has over fifty people, and half of them have fallen in that forest. Even our leader can''t guarantee that we can pass through safely every time."


    Blaze Regret nodded silently. He had experienced the dangers of the forest more than once. As for Yun Suhaila, he had never had any ill feelings towards her.


    Someone who can show such pure eyes can''t be truly malicious. She was just a bit spoiled in character. Besides, she didn''t show that spoiled nature to people she was familiar with. As for him, he was still just an outsider.

 Chapter 127 - 127 Dominating Blade Mantis

    "The aura of a Black Cloud Leopard. Let''s camp here for the night."


    After walking for a while, Yun Anuar suddenly stopped and pointed to a spot beside a giant tree, smiling as he spoke.


    "Black Cloud Leopards, low Grade Imperial class spirit beasts, are considered quite powerful in this forest. They have a particular trait: they never rest in the same place twice. So, areas where their scent lingers are popular with many adventurers because spirit beasts below the Imperial Grade don''t dare come near." Seeing the puzzled look on Blaze Regret''s face, Muk Karthik immediately explained.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded and made a mental note. He knew that his knowledge of the wilderness was nowhere near as extensive as that of seasoned hunters like Muk Karthik. Members of the spirit hunting group, also known as spirit hunters, were born for this kind of work.


    "Hey, you there, go gather some dry branches," Xen Kai commanded, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face as he saw Blaze Regret idling.


    With a slight sigh, Blaze Regret found Xen Kai''s clownish behavior more amusing than annoying. If it had been anyone else, they would have taught Xen Kai a lesson and had him on the ground in no time.


    Scanning the area, Blaze Regret picked up some dry branches from the ground and piled them up. Even Red used its tiny claws to drag a branch over and tossed it onto the pile with great effort, looking rather comical.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the pitch dark forest, a campfire slowly crackled to life, emitting a bright glow. Red raised its little claws, absorbing the warmth radiating from the fire. Fire type spirit beasts have a natural affinity for flames.


    Watching as a few people gradually fell asleep, Blaze Regret sighed softly. He then quietly released the Ice Control Butterfly to keep watch from a tree. Laying a thin cloth on the ground, he cradled Red and slowly drifted into sleep.


    Tonight was the first time in his life that he used the sky as his blanket and the earth as his bed.


    And this lifestyle would become the norm for the next two years. S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In an ancient forest, a group of people carefully made their way, their eyes constantly scanning their surroundings. Above them, towering trees spread countless branches in all directions. Yellowed leaves trembled gently in the breeze before floating down leisurely, forming a thick layer on the ground.


    "Roar!"


    Suddenly, from the top of a giant tree, a sinister eyed Black Leopard pounced down. Its bloody maw opened wide, bringing with it a gust of foul wind as it aimed for Yun Suhaila''s throat.


    Sensing the speed of the Black Leopard, Yun Suhaila''s face turned pale, and she retreated repeatedly.


    At the front of the group, Yun Anuar''s eyes flashed slightly. A sharp gust of wind shot out from beside him, instantly tearing the Black Leopard''s body apart, spilling warm blood everywhere.


    It was a wind elemental spirit beast with wings, resembling a light blue bird. However, atop its head were a pair of scythe like blades that clashed with each other as its wings flapped, producing a constant clattering sound.


    The Wind Scythe Bird, a mid level warrior grade spirit beast, had its most lethal weapon in the wind scythes atop its head.


    "That scared me to death."


    Yun Suhaila, with a hint of fear in her beautiful eyes, exhaled and covered her lightly heaving chest with her jade hand.


    The Black Leopard, a type of spirit beast, could change the color of its body to blend with the trees it inhabited, making it unpredictable. Even seasoned spirit hunters could fall prey to it.


    "Be more careful."


    The Wind Scythe Bird returned to his side as Yun Anuar turned back to remind her before continuing forward.


    "Suhaila, are you okay?"


    Xen Kai quickly walked over, intending to extend a comforting hand to Yun Suhaila, but she subtly avoided him, making Xen Kai feel slightly embarrassed.


    "What are you looking at? If it weren''t for us, you would have died in this forest long ago."


    Xen Kai, feeling extremely annoyed, clearly took out his frustration on Blaze Regret, pulling a sour face at him as if he had been the one to bring Blaze Regret into the forest.


    "Muk Karthik, can I punch him?" Blaze Regret asked, looking helplessly at Xen Kai''s back.


    "No, don''t. He''s a third rank warrior Grade, a rank higher than me. Just bear with it, and pretend it''s a fly buzzing around," Muk Karthik quickly waved his hand, afraid that Blaze Regret might lose his cool and go after Xen Kai.


    Blaze Regret was speechless. If it weren''t for his favorable impression of Yun Anuar, he would have already rushed over to give Xen Kai a beating. Being targeted multiple times had made even someone with his patience feel a bit of anger.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s silence, Xen Kai thought he was scared and became even more smug.


    "Wait!"


    Yun Anuar, who was walking at the front, suddenly extended his hand to stop everyone. His eyes narrowed slightly as he said, "Get ready, there''s something ahead, and it''s not just one."


    "Rustle!"


    As soon as Yun Anuar''s words fell, several black shadows, resembling mantises, suddenly darted out from the trees, their wings flapping as they surrounded the group. Their sharp double blades gleamed menacingly in the sunlight.


    "Dominating Blade Mantis?" Muk Karthik''s face instantly turned serious. A summoning array appeared, and a tree covered in sharp thorns materialized in the middle of the group.


    Muk Karthik''s spirit beast, known as the Thorn Tree, was covered in sharp spikes. Any spirit beast that collided with it would suffer greatly.


    "Violent Ape!"


    At Xen Kai''s low shout, a robust brown giant ape stomped heavily on the ground, sending a gust of wind that swept the fallen leaves away.


    Yun Suhaila''s spirit beast, like Yun Anuar''s, was a Wind Scythe Bird, though it was smaller due to being only a third grade.


    "Have we entered the Dominating Blade Mantis''s territory?"


    Thanks Goatman12 and Shad_Shivers for the gift

 Chapter 128 - 128 Golden Armored Mantis

    Blaze Regret''s expression tightened. It was autumn, a season when all spirit beasts frantically hunt to prepare for the impending snow covered winter. Clearly, they had ventured into the feeding grounds of the Dominating Blade Mantis.


    "Swish!"


    One of the strongest Dominating Blade Mantis paused for a moment before suddenly charging forward, its right blade raised high as it slashed fiercely towards Yun Anuar, who seemed to be the strongest.


    "Sixth rank, very well!"


    Anger flashed in Yun Anuar''s eyes as he commanded his Wind Scythe Bird to meet the attack head on. The two spirit beasts clashed rapidly, exchanging blows.


    "Muk Karthik, you hold one off. Suhaila and I will handle the rest."


    Xen Kai naturally took command, as if he was used to such situations. However, he completely ignored Blaze Regret, leaving him isolated.


    "No problem."


    Yun Suhaila nodded slightly. Apart from the leading mantis, the others were only second or third rank, which they could barely manage with their combined strength.


    Watching the others quickly engage their opponents, Blaze Regret was happy to stay out of it, observing their spirit beasts with interest.


    "Blue Blade Slash!"


    With Yun Suhaila''s sharp cry, the twin scythes atop the Wind Scythe Bird''s head suddenly glowed blue. It then shot forward like a streak of blue lightning, slashing through a Dominating Blade Mantis.


    The mantis'' head flew off and fell to the ground with a metallic thud, having offered no resistance.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. These spirit hunters, like Yun Suhaila, had honed their skills through countless battles. The Wind Scythe Bird''s attack was swift and precise, hitting the vital point instantaneously.


    On the battlefield, the lower ranked Dominating Blade Mantises fell one by one, while the battle on Yun Anuar''s side remained evenly matched.


    The Dominating Blade Mantis, being of the metal attribute, had a defense that could rival rock type spirit beasts. Although Yun Anuar was confident he could kill it, it would take considerable time.


    "Kid, see the difference between you and me?"


    Xen Kai proudly smiled as his Violent Ape pounded another Dominating Blade Mantis into a pulp. He was trying his hardest to impress Yun Suhaila, while Blaze Regret was undoubtedly someone he looked down upon.


    "Recklessly expending your spirit energy like that, you indeed have a significant gap compared to Yun Suhaila," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile.


    Though the Violent Ape''s method of killing was brute and visually impactful, it consumed an enormous amount of spirit energy, unlike the Wind Scythe Bird''s swift, lethal strikes.


    "Heh, the weak can only make bold claims," Xen Kai scoffed, dismissing Blaze Regret''s words.


    "Crash!"


    As the number of Dominating Blade Mantises rapidly decreased, there was a sudden rustling in the forest. A mantis with a golden shell emerged, slashing at the Violent Ape.


    "Roar!"


    With a roar, the Violent Ape clenched its fist, hardening it with rock, and threw a punch, colliding with the golden mantis''s claw.


    As claw met rock fist, a mocking gleam flashed in the golden mantis''s compound eyes. With a swift flash, Xen Kai''s Violent Ape was sent reeling back, crashing heavily into a tree trunk, blood streaming from its fist.


    "A fourth rank Golden Armored Mantis?"


    Yun Anuar, catching sight of this scene, couldn''t help but gasp in shock.


    The Golden Armored Mantis is a rare species among the Dominator Mantis tribe, with only one emerging out of every thousand. Additionally, the initial rank of the Dominator Mantis is of mid warrior grade, whereas the Golden Armored Mantis is of high level warrior, making it undoubtedly stronger at the same rank.


    With a single claw, it forced back the Violent Ape. The Golden Armored Mantis''s fierce gaze slowly swept over everyone and suddenly fixed on Xen Kai.


    With a screech, its body shot out, and its sharp claws, carrying a fierce energy, slashed down toward Xen Kai''s head.


    Seeing this, a look of anxiety appeared in Yun Anuar''s eyes. However, the sixth rank Dominator Mantis was tightly restraining his Wind Sickle Bird, preventing it from leaving the battle zone temporarily.


    "Blue Blade Light!"


    In her panic, Yun Suhaila hurriedly controlled the Wind Sickle Bird to block the Golden Armored Mantis''s attack. However, the Golden Armored Mantis didn''t even blink as it pass the Wind Sickle Bird away.


    The blade like claws of the Golden Armored Mantis rapidly enlarged in Xen Kai''s pupils, and a look of terror appeared on his face. Reflexively, he pulled Yun Suhaila in front of him as a shield.


    Used as a human shield by Xen Kai, Yun Suhaila was clearly stunned. Before she could process what was happening, she saw the Golden Armored Mantis''s gleaming claws descending rapidly toward her face.


    "No!"


    Yun Anuar roared in anger, waving his hand to send a wind blade shooting out. It landed on the Golden Armored Mantis''s shell but dissipated instantly.


    It was evident that although Yun Anuar had offensive spirit arts, he was not proficient in them. They were effective against low level warrior spirit beasts but barely caused any damage to the Golden Armored Mantis.


    Yun Suhaila closed her eyes, feeling the strong wind approaching, and a sense of despair flooded her heart.


    "Ugh!"


    Just as the razor sharp claws of the Golden Armored Mantis were about to strike, a burst of Blue flamed fire suddenly surged forward. Three whirling clusters of Blue flames collided with the body of the Golden Armored Mantis, sending it flying.


    As the gust of wind swept past, a lock of hair gently floated down. Yun Suhaila opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that the terrifying figure of the Golden Armored Mantis had vanished.


    When she turned her head, the sight before her made her gasp in astonishment. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    She saw the body of the Golden Armor Mantis tightly pinned against the trunk of a giant tree, covered in numerous wounds. In front of it, a fire Cat with Blue eyes had its sharp claws piercing through the mantis, nailing it to the tree.


    Witnessing this scene, not only Yun Suhaila but even Yun Anuar in the distance was utterly stunned.

 Chapter 129 - 129 Blue Jade Cat Spirit 1

    The Golden Armor Mantis, which had been so fierce just moments ago, was now like a lifeless fish, unable to move. The disparity was truly shocking.


    "Fortunately, I made it in time."


    Under Xen Kai''s incredulous gaze, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile appearing on his face.


    From the moment the Golden Armored Mantis appeared, he had been prepared. Thankfully, he managed to save Yun Suhaila at the last moment. However, what he hadn''t expected was that Xen Kai would push a girl out as a shield in a life or death situation, an act he found utterly disgraceful.


    "So, this guy had been hiding his strength all along." Muk Karthik shook his head with a bitter smile. It turned out he had misjudged from the beginning. Who could have imagined that the small spirit warrior from the Atlas Shop would have advanced so quickly?


    After a while, Yun Suhaila snapped back to reality, a trace of bitterness appearing on her delicate face. She hadn''t expected that the one who would save her in the end would be the very boy she had always mocked and ridiculed.


    "Brother Blaze Regret, thank you very much this time."


    Having swiftly dealt with the sixth rank Dominator Mantis, Yun Anuar walked over with large strides and gratefully clasped his hands towards Blaze Regret. If it weren''t for this young man, his daughter would have been lost to him forever.


    "It was nothing, really," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    Looking at Blaze Regret''s warm smile, Yun Suhaila felt momentarily lost. To him, saving her life must have indeed been a trivial matter.


    Thinking of this, Yun Suhaila couldn''t help but feel a twinge of bitterness in her heart.


    "Xen Kai, are you even a man? Using a girl as a shield?" Muk Karthik strode over, angrily glaring at Xen Kai, the veins in his neck bulging.


    "I..."


    Xen Kai was at a loss for words. Seeing the look of disappointment in Yun Suhaila''s eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. At the same time, a deep resentment towards Blaze Regret arose within him, a cold killing intent quietly spreading in his eyes.


    "If you could kill the Golden Armored Mantis, why didn''t you act sooner?" Xen Kai asked angrily, looking at Blaze Regret.


    "Hey, get your facts straight. My Blue Flame Demon Cat is only at the fourth rank. It barely reached the fifth rank after using Flame Breath. Do you think that doesn''t take time to prepare? Moreover, the Golden Armored Mantis was attacking you first. Do I have an obligation to save you?" Blaze Regret retorted with a cold smile.


    Under Blaze Regret''s barrage of questions, Xen Kai''s face turned pale, his eyes bloodshot, but he couldn''t find any reason to argue back.


    "Crack!"


    In front of the giant tree, the Blue Flame Demon Cat quickly withdrew its claws, blood splattering. The Golden Armored Mantis twitched a few times on the ground before its life completely faded away.

    Even though the Red was only at the fourth rank, after using Flame Breath and with claws strengthened by the Blazing Blade Flower, it was enough to tear through the body of a sixth rank spirit beast. Not to mention, the Golden Armored Mantis''s carapace had already been bombarded by the Blue Flame Demon Cat''s fire.


    After extracting the spirit core of the Golden Armored Mantis, the Blue Flame Demon Cat entered a state of Cat illusion and trotted back to Blaze Regret''s side.


    "Alright, let''s go."


    Yun Anuar cast a glance at Xen Kai, suppressing the urge to kill him with a single slap. He then turned around and left the area without looking back.


    Muk Karthik snorted coldly, ignoring Xen Kai. As they walked, he began to speak excitedly, "I never expected you to improve so quickly. The first time we met, you were just a low rank spirit novice. I never thought that now, you would surpass me."


    Blaze Regret smiled and discreetly placed the spirit core of the Golden Armored Mantis into the Void realms Stone. This was his first encounter with a metal attribute spirit beast, and he wondered what other attribute spirit beasts he might discover in the future.


    The group slowly made their way through the forest. After the recent events, the atmosphere became unusually heavy. Except for the excited Muk Karthik and Blaze Regret, who occasionally responded with a few words, no one else was willing to speak.


    Yun Suhaila carefully sprinkled powder from a packet onto the wound of the Wind Scythe Bird, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing at Blaze Regret. Noticing that he never looked her way, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.


    This was the first time she had been so completely ignored.


    Sighing softly, Yun Suhaila regretted her earlier actions against Blaze Regret. If it weren''t for that, she wouldn''t be in a situation where she couldn''t say a word to him now.


    What she didn''t know was that Blaze Regret simply didn''t feel like talking, and as for holding grudges, he couldn''t be bothered.


    "Walk straight for two hundred meter, then turn left. There seems to be something interesting there."


    As Blaze Regret was casually chatting with Muk Karthik, the light laughter of Master Magi suddenly rang in his ear.


    A gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He nodded slightly, about to come up with an excuse to turn the group to the left when Yun Anuar, at the front, suddenly stopped.


    "Shh!"


    Yun Anuar turned to the group and made a gesture, then cautiously took a few steps forward. He parted the branches of a low bush, revealing a scene that instantly silenced everyone.


    In the midst of the surrounded trees, countless Overlord Mantis were scurrying about. Piles of blood soaked spirit beast corpses lay on the ground, resembling a small mountain.


    The blood had stained the surrounding ground red.


    Gently lowering the branch, Yun Anuar pointed to the left and quietly began to move in that direction.

 Chapter 130 - 130 Blue Jade Cat Spirit 2 (Bonus)

    "Thank goodness we didn''t walk into that, or we wouldn''t even have had a chance to resist before being hacked into pieces," Muk Karthik said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear after they had moved far away.


    "We haven''t taken this path for a long time," Yun Suhaila softly explained upon seeing Blaze Regret''s puzzled expression.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded slightly, feeling a bit apprehensive. Compared to this place, the Black Forest was a walk in the park. One wrong move here, and they might not even know how they met their end.


    "Swish!"


    Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed not far away and then dimmed again.


    "It''s in the direction Master Magi mentioned," Blaze Regret squinted his eyes slightly.


    "It seems to be a fire attributed spirit beast," Muk Karthik whispered.


    "Uncle Yun Anuar, let''s go take a look," Blaze Regret suggested as he walked over to Yun Anuar.


    "You''re so curious, what if there''s danger? Can you take responsibility?" Xen Kai objected without a second thought. As long as it was something Blaze Regret wanted to do, he wouldn''t let him have his way.


    "I want to go take a look too."


    Almost instinctively, Yun Suhaila blushed after saying this, feeling annoyed with herself. An experienced spirit hunter would never act recklessly. Why had she made such a serious mistake just now?


    Yun Anuar glanced at Yun Suhaila with a meaningful look, causing her to quickly lower her head.


    "Let''s go take a look. We might find something useful," Yun Anuar said with a smile.


    "But..."


    Xen Kai opened his mouth to speak, but seeing the others already walking away, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. It was all because of Blaze Regret. If it weren''t for him, he wouldn''t be in this miserable situation!


    "It''s a Scarlet Flame Tiger."


    Yun Anuar peered through the gaps in the branches and saw the red figure, whispering to himself. Then, with a hint of excitement in his voice, he said, "There''s a nest of Blue Jade Cat Spirits over there!"


    They saw a robust Scarlet Flame Tiger carrying a Blue cat like spirit beast in its mouth. Behind the Scarlet Flame Tiger, three small Blue beasts, similar in appearance to the one in its mouth, huddled together, trembling.


    The Blue Jade Cat Spirit, with an earth attribute, was born at a high level warrior rank. Its signature spirit skill, Blue Jade Meteor, could unleash a barrage of Blue light to bombard enemies, packing a significant punch.


    However, this kind of spirit beast was extremely proud. Once they reached a certain level of maturity, they would rather die than form a contract with a spirit master, causing their young to be sold at exorbitant prices.


    "A sixth tier Scarlet Flame Tiger is no stronger than an Overlord Mantis. Leave it to me."


    Yun Anuar chuckled as his Wind Scythe Bird shot forward, transforming into a blue streak that intertwined with the Scarlet Flame Tiger.


    In no time, the Scarlet Flame Tiger fell to the ground, covered in tiny wounds. The Wind Scythe Bird''s twin scythes had sliced it at least a hundred times in an instant.


    The group approached the trembling little beasts, each of which had a beautiful, crystalline Blue gemstone embedded in its forehead.


    "How should we split them?" Yun Suhaila asked, blinking her long eyelashes in confusion.


    "That''s not for me to decide. It was all thanks to Blaze Regret that we discovered this nest of Blue Jade Cat Spirits," Yun Anuar said with a hearty laugh, waving his hand dismissively.


    "Let''s do it like this: one for Yun Suhaila, one for Muk Karthik, and the rest for me. Uncle Yun Anuar, I''m sorry to put you at a disadvantage," Blaze Regret said softly after a brief pause.


    Hearing this, Yun Anuar smiled nonchalantly. Giving one to Yun Suhaila was the same as giving it to him, so it made no difference to him.


    "I get one too?" Muk Karthik looked at Blaze Regret in surprise. Among the group, he was the weakest, and he hadn''t expected Blaze Regret to consider him.


    "Of course, even if I didn''t want one, you''d still get one," Blaze Regret replied with a teasing scold. Then, he carefully picked up a Blue Jade Cat Spirit and placed it in Muk Karthik''s hands.


    Muk Karthik bit his lip, momentarily speechless. Selling the Blue Jade Cat Spirit would provide him with a significant amount of cultivation resources, making it likely for him to break through to the third tier spirit warrior stage soon. Blaze Regret''s seemingly casual act had deeply moved him.


    "What about me?" Xen Kai asked, his eyes filled with greed as he looked at the Blue Jade Cat Spirits. But realizing he wouldn''t get one, his tone became indignant.


    "Does this have anything to do with you?" Blaze Regret glanced at Xen Kai in confusion before looking away, clearly not interested in engaging with him.


    Xen Kai''s face turned livid, his teeth grinding audibly.


    "Blaze Regret, you don''t have an extra Spirit Realm Stone, do you?"


    Seeing Blaze Regret wrap the Blue Jade Cat Spirit in his clothes, Yun Suhaila quickly took a diamond shaped stone, similar to an Void Realm Stone, from inside her clothes and handed it to Blaze Regret.

    Accepting the still warm Spirit Realm Stone, Blaze Regret smiled. "Then I won''t be polite."


    In the ancient city of Veloria, although there are places that sell Spirit Realm Stones, they are quite rare. This is because most spirit masters seldom venture out, leaving them with little opportunity to encounter precious spirit beasts. That why Blaze Regret did not have enought spirit realms stone now.


    Moreover, Spirit Realm Stones are expensive. Typically, when members of the Blaze family capture spirit beasts, they use a specially treated, extremely tough rope.


    Blaze Regret slightly raised the Spirit Realm Stone, aimed it at the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, and infused a bit of spiritual power into it. Instantly, a Blue light emanated from the Spirit Realm Stone, enveloping the Blue Jade Cat Spirit and absorbing it directly.

 Chapter 131 - 131 Hiltan Serpents 1 (Bonus)

    Although void Realm Stones can also store items, they can only store non living things like herbs. As for Master Magi, he was an exception. With the Spirit Realm Stone, Blaze Regret no longer had to worry about missing out on valuable spirit beasts in the future.


    "A favor for a favor."


    Blaze Regret knew that for Yun Suhaila, a Spirit Realm Stone was undoubtedly very expensive. Therefore, he patted his waist, and one of his void Realm Stones flew in front of Yun Suhaila.


    This void Realm Stone was obtained when Blaze Regret killed Snow Azrul that day, and it had been unused since.


    "This..."


    Yun Suhaila hesitated. An void Realm Stone costs about twenty thousand gold coins, whereas a Spirit Realm Stone only costs ten thousand gold coins.


    When she looked up, Blaze Regret had already left, with only his silhouette moving slightly in the distance.


    With a helpless smile, Yun Suhaila extended her jade hand and gently grasped the void Realm Stone. Meanwhile, not far away, Xen Kai''s eyes were filled with murderous intent.


    After another night of camping out, the group quietly resumed their trek through the forest. Everyone had their spirit beasts released, ready to face any imminent danger.


    "We should be nearing Hiltan Town," Blaze Regret said softly, wiping sweat off his face.


    "Half a day more," Muk Karthik replied, scanning the trees around them. He spotted a faint mark and grinned.


    As a seasoned spirit hunter who had roamed the forest for years, Muk Karthik had his ways of discerning the path. Every time he saw those faint marks on the tree trunks, he would walk over and re carve them, preparing for future entries.


    After yesterday''s events, Yun Suhaila and Blaze Regret''s relationship had noticeably improved. From time to time, they would chat a bit, and whenever this happened, Muk Karthik would tactfully shut his talkative mouth.


    Watching the two of them engage in lively conversation, Xen Kai, at the back, had eyes filled with intense murderous intent, wishing he could tear Blaze Regret apart.


    However, thinking about the gap in strength between him and Blaze Regret, Xen Kai suppressed his thoughts. His face, though, remained gloomy, deep in thought.


    As they neared the forest''s edge, the frequency of spirit beast attacks decreased. After several hours of walking, there were only three waves of spirit beast attacks, which were effortlessly repelled.


    "Blaze Regret, what do you plan to do in Hiltan Town?" Yun Suhaila asked curiously, her beautiful eyes fixed on Blaze Regret.


    "Looking for something," Blaze Regret replied, gently brushing off the leaves stuck to the Red Beast''s fur with a smile.


    "Why not join the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group? We have some influence in Hiltan Town and might be able to help," Yun Suhaila said with a hint of anticipation in her voice.


    "No, thanks. I prefer being on my own," Blaze Regret apologized with a smile. He wasn''t very comfortable in crowded places, and his purpose for coming out was to train. Joining a spirit hunting group would be a hindrance.


    Hearing this, Yun Suhaila sighed softly in disappointment, her jade like fingers restlessly playing with the feathers of her Wind Scythe Bird.


    "Roar!"


    At that moment, a blood stained Red Flame Tiger suddenly dashed out of the forest. After glancing at the group, it quickly fled. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This isn''t good, that beast!" Yun Anuar''s face changed dramatically. From where the Red Flame Tiger had emerged, several pitch black serpents swiftly slithered out. Upon spotting the group, they immediately abandoned their pursuit of the tiger, their emotionless snake eyes fixed on the people.


    "Hiltan Serpents!" Yun Suhaila''s voice trembled with slight terror.


    Blaze Regret''s expression also grew serious. These Hiltan Serpents were all mid tier fifth rank spirit warrior beasts. This meant that aside from him and Yun Anuar, the others lacked the strength to contend with them.


    "Hiss!"


    More Hiltan Serpents dropped from the branches, revealing parts of their bodies. Their foul smelling mucus left marks on the leaves.


    Seeing so many Hiltan Serpents, everyone''s faces turned grim. The few on the ground were already difficult enough to deal with, and now more were appearing. Who knew how many more were hidden in the shadows?


    "Blaze Regret, protect them," Yun Anuar instructed, looking at Blaze Regret. Fifth rank spirit beasts weren''t too troublesome to handle, but if the Hiltan Serpents attacked Yun Suhaila and the others, it would be a real headache.


    "Leave it to me," Blaze Regret nodded, stepping back a few paces with the others to clear the battlefield.


    The Red let out a low growl, Blue flames igniting on its claws, casting a scorching aura through the forest.


    After a brief silence, the Hiltan Serpents shot out like arrows, entangling with the swooping Wind Scythe Bird.


    The Wind Scythe Bird, a seventh rank spirit beast, lived up to its reputation. Every time a blue light flashed, a Hiltan Serpent was sliced in half. The sharp double scythes on its head clicked and shimmered with a faint blue glow.


    As one Hiltan Serpent fell, another immediately took its place. The Hiltan Serpents hidden in the shadows seemed endless, continuously surging forward.


    "Don''t they know fear?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly.


    "Forget it. Hiltan Serpents are spirit beasts that never know the meaning of fear unless you kill them all," Muk Karthik said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.


    "Slash!"


    The Red slashed down with its claws, sending a red arc of light that cut a Hiltan Serpent in half, sweeping its severed body far away. Clearly, the beast was displeased with these creatures that continued to writhe even when cut in two.


    Noticing that the defense on this side was weaker, many Hiltan Serpents began to change direction and surged toward the group. The sound of their slithering sent chills down the spine.


    "Whoosh!"


    A lightning fast black shadow shot down from the treetop, aiming directly at Yun Suhaila. The Red quickly leaped up, pinning the Hiltan Serpent to the ground. However, without the Red''s suppression, the serpents that had been kept at bay by the flames started to crawl rapidly toward them again.

 Chapter 132 - 132 Hiltan Serpents 2

    Seeing the approaching Hiltan Serpents, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on Xen Kai''s face. Taking advantage of Blaze Regret turning his back, Xen Kai pushed him forcefully, causing Blaze Regret to lose his balance and fall into the swarm of serpents. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Excited by the suddenly available prey, the Hiltan Serpents opened their foul smelling mouths and surged forward in a writhing mass.


    "Blaze Regret!" Yun Suhaila screamed in horror, her face turning pale.


    "Die!" Xen Kai''s face lit up with exhilaration as he silently retreated, ensuring that even if the Hiltan Serpents came closer, they wouldn''t attack him.


    The Red became agitated, tearing a Hiltan Serpent apart along its mouth and then slashing continuously with its claws, sending the serpents'' body parts Wind. However, Blaze Regret was already completely engulfed by the dark mass of serpents.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Red let out a mournful cry, frantically smashing the Hiltan Serpents in front of it, while Xen Kai''s laughter echoed in the background.


    "Why did you do that!" Yun Suhaila glared at Xen Kai, her tightly clenched jade like hands trembling.


    "Why? Heh, because that kid deserves to die. Before he came, when did you ever shout at me? If you want to blame someone, blame that kid for being too arrogant, for daring to ignore me," Xen Kai replied with a sinister smile.


    "Because you don''t deserve to be acknowledged by him," Yun Suhaila''s eyes welled up with mist. In just a few days, she had seen through Xen Kai''s true nature. Compared to Blaze Regret, Xen Kai was the epitome of scum.


    "Say what you want, but he''s already dead," Xen Kai said carelessly, with a smile.


    "Wind Scythe Bird, charge in!"


    Yun Suhaila turned her head, a pale green light spreading from her palm. Even though she knew it might be futile, she couldn''t live with herself if she didn''t try. She would be plagued by regret and guilt for the rest of her life.


    "Crack!"


    Just as the Wind Scythe Bird was about to dive down, a layer of ice blue frost suddenly spread out from the midst of the serpents. In an instant, the writhing Hiltan Serpents were rapidly transformed into lifelike ice sculptures.


    As the temperature in the area plummeted, Yun Suhaila stood there, momentarily stunned.


    The biting cold ice quickly spread, encasing all the black scaled serpents it touched in an instant, even those in front of Yun Anuar were completely enveloped, maintaining their previous postures.


    The Wing scythe bird returned to his side, and Yun Anuar was utterly shocked, unable to comprehend what had just happened.


    "Crack!"


    In the area with the highest concentration of black scaled serpents, a figure with a slightly bent back suddenly and slowly stood up, then straightened his body. Around him, it was as if a dazzling ice lotus had bloomed.


    "Blaze Regret?" Yun Suhaila asked tentatively because the ice cover made it difficult for her to see the person''s appearance clearly.


    "Crash!"


    The ice lotus shattered, and Blaze Regret took a deep breath of the rare air, his face flushed.


    Just as he was about to be swallowed by the black scaled serpents, the ice energy stored in his second spiritual portal suddenly surged uncontrollably, rapidly spreading around, leading to the scene just now.


    "Unexpectedly, it was the creation of the Ice Lotus sage master that saved my life."


    Blaze Regret turned his head, his cold gaze falling on the shocked Xen Kai, and he said softly, "It was you who pushed me just now, wasn''t it?"


    Xen Kai''s Adam''s apple bobbed, and he retreated repeatedly, his face full of terror, wanting to escape from this place.


    "Crack!"


    All the ice in the field suddenly shattered, and those black scaled serpents, recovering from their frozen state, looked at each other in confusion before collectively moving away from Blaze Regret''s position, their eyes filled with deep fear.


    The next moment, they bypassed Yun Suhaila and the others and quickly surged towards Xen Kai''s direction.


    "Why are you only chasing me and not eating them!"


    Xen Kai screamed in terror, but his cries were quickly drowned out. The black scaled serpents frantically tore at his body, ripping off chunks of flesh.


    With his mouth sealed by the serpents'' bodies, Xen Kai convulsed in agony but couldn''t make a sound.


    "Let''s go."


    Retracting his gaze, Blaze Regret gently placed the red on his shoulder and walked forward indifferently, with faint ice particles still lingering on his eyebrows.


    Yun Anuar opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he couldn''t utter a single word. He realized that at this moment, he felt a slight fear of this young man.


    "How does it feel to be close to death?" The cheerful voice of Master Magi reached Blaze Regret''s ears.


    "Not great." Blaze Regret glanced irritably at the void realms stone. Even though he knew he wouldn''t die no matter what, he never wanted to experience the feeling of near death again.


    "Hehe, this is your first lesson in this unfamiliar town. An excellent spirit master should remain calm even in the face of a landslide. You''ll understand how important this is in the future." Master Magi laughed heartily.


    Half an hour later, the trees in the forest gradually thinned out, allowing some light to penetrate through the canopy.


    "Hiltan Town is just ahead."


    Seeing the long awaited light, Yun Suhaila Yi felt the shadow of Xen Kai''s death lift significantly from her heart, and a relieved smile appeared on her pretty face.


    "We part ways here," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile as he glanced at the group.


    "Are you really not coming with us?" Yun Suhaila Yi''s voice was as soft as a mosquito''s buzz, knowing that regardless of how many times she asked, the answer would remain the same.


    Seeing Blaze Regret shake his head, Yun Anuar felt a tinge of regret. The scene of the ice sealing the serpents had left a deep impression on him. If Blaze Regret were to join, the strength of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group would undoubtedly increase significantly.

 Chapter 133 - 133 Ice Lake Stone Flower

    After parting ways with the group, Blaze Regret aimlessly wandered around Hiltan Town. Not far away, there were a few sparse buildings, with most of the crowd gathered there. Rough, loud shouts echoed throughout the small town.


    Only a few people noticed Blaze Regret''s arrival. In this place, a Fourth tier spirit warrior was considered middle tier, so no one cast the same disdainful glances at him as they had in the inn.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret scanned the buildings and finally identified a shop by the dried medicinal herbs hanging outside.


    Dusting off his robe, Blaze Regret pursed his lips and stepped into the shop.


    After several days of travel, the food in his void realms stone had been exhausted, so replenishing this essential supply was a priority. Of course, if he found anything else of interest, he wouldn''t mind buying it.


    Compared to the noisy outside, the interior of the shop was noticeably quieter. Several glass jars were suspended in the corners of the shop, each containing a glowing insect that flew around slowly.


    "Ahem, excuse me, what''s inside those jars?" Blaze Regret asked a shop assistant curiously.


    "Night wing Fire," the assistant replied indifferently, noticing Blaze Regret''s young age and dusty robe, showing little interest in engaging further.


    "I''ll take four," Blaze Regret said with a smile, unfazed by the assistant''s attitude.


    "Sixty gold coins."


    The assistant bent down and retrieved a glass jar from a transparent counter. His tone became slightly more courteous, "These Night wing Fire are extremely delicate spirit beasts that can only survive by absorbing the energy of light attribute spirit cores. Would you like to purchase a light attribute spirit core?"


    "How much?" Blaze Regret suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.


    "A thousand," the assistant said, eyeing Blaze Regret greedily.


    "That much? Is it a lord level core? Why is it so expensive?" Blaze Regret rolled his eyes. In the past, a spirit core would cost him at most a few dozen gold coins, never this exorbitant amount.


    "Little brother, you should understand the rarity of light attribute spirit beasts. In the entire forest surrounding Hiltan Town, you might not find a single one. The high price is justified," the shop assistant explained with a smile.


    Blaze Regret reluctantly handed over his gold coin card, and the assistant quickly swiped it, as if afraid Blaze Regret would change his mind.


    "Oh, and I''ll need five spirit stones as well," Blaze Regret said, stopping the assistant as he was about to return the card.


    "What... did you just say?" The assistant''s hand froze in mid air, his face showing a stunned expression.


    Five spirit stones meant fifty thousand gold coins. The shop''s transactions over several days wouldn''t even come close to this amount, and yet this young man in front of him could afford such a hefty price?


    "Five spirit stones," Blaze Regret repeated.


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s confirmation, the assistant''s attitude shifted dramatically, and he smiled ingratiatingly. "Spirit stones are extremely precious and are stored in a special place. Please wait a moment."


    Blaze Regret nodded slightly and began to glance around the counter. Suddenly, his eyes fixed on an object in the corner that looked like a stone.


    "Ice Lake Stone Flower?"


    Blaze Regret was slightly surprised. Possessing the Emperor of Medicine Seed, he was extremely sensitive to spiritual objects and herbs. The moment he saw this thing, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.


    The Ice Lake Stone Flower is an ice attribute spiritual object. It can make the body of an ice attribute spirit beast extraordinarily hard, like a rock. Hence, it has this beautiful name.


    Among all the attributes, the hardness of an ice attribute spirit beast''s body is only moderate, while the rock attribute is at the top. Without a doubt, one can imagine how precious this spiritual object is.


    "How much is this?"


    Seeing the shop attendant return, Blaze Regret, now more experienced, acted much more casually this time, as if he had randomly pointed to an item.


    "Oh, this thing? I picked it up outside. It looked nice, so I brought it back. If you want it, I''ll give it to you for free." The shop attendant casually took out the Ice Lake Stone Flower and handed it to Blaze Regret.


    Suppressing his inner joy, Blaze Regret casually placed the Ice Lake Stone Flower into the void realms stone, then took the spirit realms stone and gold coin card, and walked out of the shop. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    By now, it was late, with only a sliver of sunset remaining on the horizon. Further away, stars were already faintly visible.


    Finding an inn, Blaze Regret, who had been lying in the cold forest for days, comfortably sprawled on the bed. Beside him, Red also comfortably smacked its lips, its two small ears gently swaying.


    "Hit the jackpot!"


    After ensuring that the doors and windows were completely closed, Blaze Regret took out the Ice Lake Stone Flower, stroking its beautiful patterns, a look of surprise appearing on his face.


    "Ding!"


    With a crisp sound, the Ice Control Irenix slowly flew out from the second spiritual Portal, maintaining an upright posture like a human. Its ice wings gently flapped, bringing a small breeze.


    Upon seeing the Ice Lake Stone Flower in Blaze Regret''s hand, a trace of emotion finally appeared in the Ice Control Irenix''s otherwise vacant eyes. It slowly approached Blaze Regret, staring intently at the flower in his hand, its face full of anticipation.


    "Here you go." Blaze Regret, both amused and helpless, stuffed the Ice Lake Stone Flower into the Ice Control Irenix''s mouth. He was already accustomed to its dazed look, as long as it didn''t go offline during battles.


    With a pleasant hum, a clear blue light swept down from the top of the Ice Control Irenix''s head. When it disappeared, another blue light immediately condensed and swept down again.


    "Is it transforming its body?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. The Ice Control Irenix''s attack and speed were both formidable. If its defense could also keep up, as long as it didn''t encounter an elemental counter, it could even stand a chance against a seventh rank high level spirit warrior beast.

 Chapter 134 - 134 Black Flame Mud

    The Blue ice power is not to be underestimated.


    Blaze Regret fell asleep holding Red, while the Ice Control Irenix stood by the window, staring blankly at the moon in the sky. The sweeping blue light cast the same scene onto the room''s walls.


    The next day, when Blaze Regret woke up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes. As his eyelids lifted, he suddenly froze.


    "Where''s the Ice Control Irenix?"


    His eyes scanned the room swiftly, and Blaze Regret finally found an ice cocoon under the bed, faint blue light flickering on it.


    "How did it become like this?"


    Holding the ice cocoon formed by the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret felt a faint heartbeat inside and was left speechless. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Could it be that the Ice Control Irenix didn''t grow; instead, it regressed?


    "Hehe, it''s quite normal. The spiritual power contained in the Ice Lake Stone Flower is too vast for the Ice Control Irenix to digest. It can only turn into a cocoon and slowly absorb it. When it wakes up, it might bring you a surprise," Master Magi said with a faint smile.


    The second spiritual portal opened, and the ice cocoon automatically entered. Blaze Regret felt a slight sense of urgency.


    With Red''s current strength, even with Flame Breath, it could at most fight a sixth rank spirit beast. Finding the missing page of Master Magi''s book might not be that easy. To safely navigate Hiltan Town with this level of strength was clearly not enough.


    After washing his face, Blaze Regret and Red ate a simple meal and then left the inn. The warm sunlight outside was slightly dazzling.


    "Master Magi, can you sense your missing page?" Blaze Regret asked.


    "There''s an issue. It seems some kind of boundary is isolating my connection with it," Master Magi pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.


    As Blaze Regret was walking, his steps suddenly halted. Are you kidding me? If you can''t sense it, how long will it take to find it in such a large place like Hiltan Town, not to mention the surrounding mountains and forests?


    "What should we do then?" Blaze Regret spread his hands helplessly.


    "Wait."


    Master Magi''s eyes narrowed slightly. "Earlier, I only sensed a faint aura, but that place is extremely dangerous. If you go there before advancing to a Spirit Imperial, it would be a death sentence."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret sighed. Strength, it all comes down to strength. He was still too weak.


    "So, in Hiltan Town, you''d better break through to a Spirit Imperial first. Otherwise, even if the page appears, you won''t have the strength to compete for it," Master Magi said slowly.


    "Alright, I''ll do as you say!" Blaze Regret smiled.


    Since he planned to live in Hiltan Town for some time, he naturally needed to understand the distribution of power here.


    After spending a hundred gold coins, Blaze Regret finally understood that the most powerful organization in Hiltan Town was the Sun Moon Spirit Hunting Group. Their leader was said to be a formidable Spirit Imperial, and there were many other strong individuals as well.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. While Spirit Imperials were not uncommon in Veloria City, in Hiltan Town, they definitely had the qualifications to dominate. Even if he encountered one, avoiding them would be the best choice.


    "Your Flame Cat is currently a Fourth rank high level warrior grade. The Azure Spirit Elixir, which directly enhances strength, is completely unsuitable at this stage. Steady progress is what a warrior should focus on the most."


    Master Magi spoke slowly, "I have a prescription here. The reason I call it a prescription is that what it produces is a paste like substance, not a pill. Applying it to a fire attribute spirit beast can stimulate its potential, greatly accelerating its spiritual power circulation. Although it doesn''t directly increase strength, it can significantly shorten the time needed for advancement."


    Taking the prescription, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but grimace. The name "Black Flame Mud" didn''t sound appealing at all.


    "Don''t underestimate it. As long as you have enough of it, I guarantee that your Flame Cat can grow in the most perfect way," Master Magi smiled.


    "Time to earn some money again."


    Seeing the materials listed, Blaze Regret let out an inward groan. Being away from home, money is the most important thing.


    However, in this unfamiliar town, he had no intention of revealing his identity as an alchemist. If it attracted the attention of ill intentioned individuals, the ensuing trouble would be endless.


    With his eyes slightly downcast, Blaze Regret picked up the spirit realms stone containing the Purple Jade Cat Spirit. A grin suddenly spread across his face. Who would have thought that one day he would find himself setting up a street stall like a vendor?


    Under the shade of a tree, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed. In front of him was a long piece of black cloth spread out, displaying various items. Among them were three Qi Return Pills, a dozen bottles of Azure Spirit Liquid, and a heap of miscellaneous herbs.


    The most eye catching item was a curled up Blue Jade Cat Spirit, with a diamond shaped gem embedded in its forehead.


    Many spirit hunters showed a glint of interest in their eyes upon seeing this strange little beast. However, after Blaze Regret stated the price of 150,000 gold coins, they all awkwardly withdrew their fervent gazes. Such a large sum of money was beyond the reach of many spirit masters, let alone these spirit hunters who lived on the edge.


    Although they couldn''t afford the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, the other items on Blaze Regret''s stall were quite popular. Herbs and healing pills were lifesaving tools for those who roamed the forests and mountains. It didn''t take long for the three Qi Return Pills and all the healing herbs to be sold out.


    Althought Blaze Regret caught three Rock Mushroom Spirit beasts, he did not intent to sell it here. He did not want attract unwanted attention to him if he sell so many high level spirit beast.

 Chapter 135 - 135 Fight Mad Bull 1

    Looking at the remaining Azure Spirit Liquid and Blue Jade Cat Spirit on the stall, Blaze Regret revealed a wry smile. Azure Spirit Liquid wasn''t particularly meaningful to spirit novice, and he had only sold three bottles so far. As for the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, it was far beyond the means of the spirit hunters.


    As noon approached, Blaze Regret sighed. If he couldn''t sell them, so be it. Counting the gold coins stored in the void realms Stone and today''s sales, he should have enough to sustain the consumption of Black Flame Mud for a while.


    Just as he was about to pack up his items, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the stall, eyes greedily fixed on the sleeping Blue Jade Cat Spirit, and reached out to grab it.


    "Do you want it? 150,000 gold coins," Blaze Regret blocked his hand and said softly.


    "150,000 gold coins? That''s too expensive. Are you trying to fool me because I don''t know the market?" The man immediately widened his eyes, revealing an ugly face. "10,000, no more."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned slightly. He had encountered many spirit hunters haggling throughout the morning, but it was the first time he had met someone so unreasonable. 10,000 gold coins was almost like taking it for free.


    "150,000, not a coin less," Blaze Regret said firmly.


    The same high level warrior class spirit beasts can vary in strength. The Blue Jade Cat Spirit belongs to the more formidable category. If it were placed in the Angsana Pavilion Auction, 150,000 gold coins wouldn''t even be enough for the starting bid. It''s only in this small Hilda Town and because Blaze Regret urgently needs gold coins that it is being sold so cheaply.


    "Say that again." The big man''s face suddenly turned grim, his voice carrying a hint of threat.


    "Is that Mad Bull? This guy is notorious for being a rogue. I heard that not long ago, an out of town spirit hunter didn''t sell something to him and ended up getting their leg broken and thrown into the Blackwater Gorge!"


    Among the many spirit hunters watching, someone recognized the big man. Sympathy began to show in their gazes toward Blaze Regret. Being noticed by such a person was definitely not a good thing.


    A single misstep could cost him his life.


    "150,000 gold coins," Blaze Regret''s voice remained calm. If this person had spoken kindly, he might have considered lowering the price a bit. But now, that was clearly not an option.


    "10,000 gold coins, not a coin more. Otherwise, I won''t leave today. If you dare to set up your stall again, I''ll block it every day. Anyone who dares to buy from you, I''ll smash their head," Mad Bull sneered.


    "Ten seconds to leave," Blaze Regret''s eyes glinted with icy coldness.


    "Haha, threatening me?"


    Mad Bull laughed loudly, "I''m not leaving. What can you do about it?"


    "You have six seconds left," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "Do you want me to count for you? Six, five, four, three, two, one, time''s up!" Mad Bull leaned his head close to Blaze Regret''s face, laughing wildly.


    Seeing this, the surrounding spirit warrior shook their heads slightly. This young man was doomed. 150,000 gold coins, even they felt a pang of sympathy.


    "Swish!"


    Just as Mad Bull''s laughter erupted, Blaze Regret, who had been sitting cross legged on the ground, suddenly stood up. His foot, glowing with intense flames, lifted and struck Mad Bull''s extended face with a fierce kick.


    With a dull thud, Mad Bull let out a miserable cry as his body staggered backward.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s fierce attack, the onlooking spirit hunters were all taken aback. Soon, their eyes showed pity. Mad Bull was a fifth rank spirit warrior; this kid probably wouldn''t survive the day.


    "You dare hit me?" Mad Bull steadied himself, feeling the burning pain on his face, and looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief.


    Bending down, Blaze Regret packed up his stall and prepared to leave.


    "Still thinking of leaving?"


    A vicious look surged on Mad Bull''s face. "If I don''t chop off your leg today, I won''t be called Song!"


    As he finished speaking, a massive rock bear appeared in front of Mad Bull. After a brief pause, it charged at Blaze Regret with earth shaking steps, eyes gleaming with a sinister light.


    "A fifth rank Rock Bear!" someone exclaimed.


    Blaze Regret slightly turned, and a faint killing intent appeared in his eyes.


    Red, seeing the charging Rock Bear, immediately leaped down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Strange Blue flames wrapped around its claws, striking the Rock Bear''s chest with lightning speed.


    "A Blue Flame Demon Cat?"


    Seeing Red''s sudden transformation, Mad Bull was momentarily shocked but then sneered, "It''s just a fourth rank. Rock Bear, crush it!"


    "Roar!"


    The Rock Bear roared, its fan sized paws carrying a fierce wind as they slammed downwards.


    Red lightly tapped the ground with its paw, shooting backward with great speed. A Blue blaze shot out from its mouth, only to be smashed into several clusters of flames by the Rock Bear''s heavy punch, falling to the ground.


    After shattering the blaze with a single punch, the Rock Bear''s momentum didn''t wane. It plunged its paw into the ground and then yanked it up suddenly, creating a half foot wide crack that quickly spread toward Red. From the crack, stone spikes erupted swiftly.


    With its excellent evasive skills, Red slightly shifted its body, dodging the row of stone spikes. As it moved, the Rock Bear swiftly darted to its right side, clenching its fist and aiming a brutal punch at its head.


    The violent force from above didn''t cause the slightest ripple in Red''s eyes. Its tail blade lifted and slashed upwards. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Clang!"


    The rock fist and the tail blade clashed, a red and yellow ripple spreading out. The surrounding spirit hunters hurriedly backed away, fearing they might get caught in the aftermath.


    "Annoying little pest," Mad Bull growled impatiently. "Rock Bear, use Rock Explosion and finish it in one blow!"

 Chapter 136 - 136 Fight Mad Bull 2

    "Roar!"


    With a thunderous roar, the Rock Bear raised its palms high. Earth yellow spirit energy whistled out, forming a massive stone ball above it. Clear patterns emerged on the stone ball, emanating an incredibly heavy aura.


    A stone sphere floated above the Rock Spirit Bear''s twin palms. Under its control, the sphere, accompanied by a terrifying wind breaking sound, smashed down towards the Red that it had firmly locked onto.


    As the stone sphere shattered the air with explosive sounds, the onlookers gasped in shock.


    "Is that a mid level Spirit Technique, Rock Explosion?"


    "This is the strongest spirit technique mastered by a fifth tier Rock Spirit Bear. Even if you don''t die from it, you''d be seriously injured!"


    The corners of Mad Bull''s mouth curved into a sinister smile, as if he could already see the scene of the Blue Flame Demon Cat being smashed into a pile of meat.


    With its eerie Blue eyes, calmly watching the massive stone sphere shooting down, the next moment, the Red charged straight up. In the process, its body split into two, each figure with three rapidly spinning fireballs in front.


    The Splitting Shadow is a spirit technique that temporarily splits the body. Each figure is substantial.


    "Boom!"


    With a dull, resounding boom, scattered stones embedded deeply into the ground. Amidst the swirling dust, a Blue figure shot out, panting heavily as it stared at the Rock Spirit Bear.


    "Still alive?"


    Mad Bull''s eyes narrowed slightly, and then a vicious voice rang out, "Kid, you should be at your limit now. Rock Spirit Bear, charge over and crush that Cat with one palm!"


    Having used the devastating Rock Explosion spirit technique, Mad Bull''s spiritual power was nearly exhausted. He believed that Blaze Regret, who was merely a fourth tier spirit warrior, wouldn''t be in much better condition.


    The fifth tier Rock Spirit Bear, with its physical strength alone, was enough to instantly crush the fourth tier Blue Flame Demon Cat.


    With a swift motion, Red dodged the Rock Spirit Bear''s wide palm. Suddenly, a faint mocking expression appeared in its eyes. Three streams of fiery light began to swirl around its body, causing its aura to rapidly ascend to the fifth tier.


    Noticing the sudden increase in Red''s strength, the Rock Spirit Bear shock for a moment but after a second it remained indifferent and struck down with another palm. To it, there was no difference between the fourth and fifth tiers; both were destined to be crushed by its hand.


    However, just as the Rock Spirit Bear''s palm was about to land, Red let out a soft chirp. Three clusters of Blue demonic fire coalesced, and its entire body shot forward like a rainbow piercing through the sun.


    "Slash!"


    Red''s body directly pierced through the Rock Spirit Bear''s abdomen, sending a jet of blood spraying out.


    With a mid air twist, Red landed lightly on the ground. Its tail hardened immensely and, like a lightning bolt, sliced across the throat of the falling Rock Spirit Bear.


    This entire scene unfolded in a flash, leaving everyone in shock. Just moments ago, the Blue Flame Demon Cat was at a disadvantage, but in the blink of an eye, it had slit the Rock Spirit Bear''s throat.


    "How can this be?"


    Mad Bull stood in a daze. Blaze Regret''s spiritual power was clearly depleted, so how could his Blue Flame Demon Cat still use spirit techniques?


    Confirming that the Rock Spirit Bear was dead, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief. If Red had used Flame Breath while enduring the Rock Explosion, even if his spiritual power far exceeded that of a fourth tier spirit warrior, he would have only managed to injure the Rock Spirit Bear, not kill it. This victory was entirely due to luck.


    Among all of Red''s spirit techniques, Flame Breath undoubtedly consumed the most spiritual power, especially when used in conjunction with the Blue demonic fire.


    "You brat, how dare you kill my spirit beast! Do you know who my brother is?" Mad Bull''s voice was filled with intense killing intent. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Raising an eyebrow slightly, Blaze Regret extended his hand and spoke in a calm voice.


    "Does that have anything to do with me? However, you''ve provoked me today. Hand over your gold coin card, and I might spare your life."


    Blaze Regret''s voice echoed, causing the surrounding spirit hunters to gasp. As the chill spread through their mouths, they realized they hadn''t misheard. This kid not only killed Mad Bull''s spirit beast but also wanted to rob his gold coin card?


    "Little brother, let it go. His brother is Mad Tan, a seventh tier spirit warrior. You can''t afford to offend him," someone kindly reminded him.


    A seventh tier spirit warrior?


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. Yun Anuar was also a seventh tier spirit warrior. It seemed that in Hildan Town, the Blue Blade Spirit Hunter Group''s influence was just average. Not to mention the Rock Desolation Spirit Hunter Group, even many lone spirit hunters possessed the strength of a seventh tier spirit warrior.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s silence, Mad Bull immediately grew smug. But as he remembered that his Rock Spirit Bear was killed by Blaze Regret''s spirit beast, his tone turned vicious: "Kid, now you understand my power, right? Give me the Blue Jade Cat Spirit, and cripple your primary spirit portal. I might consider not telling my brother about this.


    A seventh tier spirit warrior is indeed someone you can''t afford to offend."


    The surrounding spirit hunters frowned in disapproval. Compensation was one thing, but crippling someone''s spirit portal was too much. However, with Blaze Regret''s strength, he truly couldn''t afford to provoke Mad Tan.


    Gently rubbing his face, Blaze Regret''s voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, slowly emerged: "How difficult could he be? I want to find out."


    The area fell into silence, leaving all the spirit hunters dizzy with disbelief. How could a mere fourth tier spirit warrior have the courage to not fear even a seventh tier spirit warrior?


    Of course, if they knew that Blaze Regret had even killed spirit Imperial considered top tier experts in Hildan Town, their expressions might have been different.

 Chapter 137 - 137 Double Fire Spike Ring

    "Fine, very fine."


    Mad Bull threw a gold coin card to Blaze Regret and quickly retreated. As he did so, he shouted with a mix of fear and bravado, "Just wait, you''ll pay for what you''ve done today!"


    Blaze Regret smirked, clearly unimpressed by such threats.


    Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Blaze Regret, along with Red, slowly walked towards the shop. After purchasing a clean black robe, he began buying large quantities of materials needed to refine Black Flame Mud.


    Black Flame Mud could only be refined by a second tier alchemist, and with his current level of spiritual power, he was just barely capable.


    "Black Flame Grass, Hundred Nectar, and the saliva of a Black Flame Python."


    As Blaze Regret listed the materials, the shop assistant made a strange face. What kind of random items were these? He couldn''t figure out what Blaze Regret needed them for.


    The shop only had Black Flame Grass, so the assistant quickly put out a bounty. It wasn''t until after Blaze Regret finished his meal at the inn that he received the full amount he needed.


    "Let''s head to the mountains on the left. It''s said that many Imperial level spirit beasts roam there, and few spirit hunters are willing to enter," suggested Master Magi after a brief consideration, glancing at the dark mountains to the left of Hildan Town.


    Blaze Regret nodded, cloaking himself in his black robe, and slowly walked towards the left. With his face hidden, the excitedly chatting spirit hunters didn''t realize that he was the very person they were talking about.


    "It seems Mad Tan is quite famous in Hildan Town."


    Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. His tall, slender figure cast a long shadow in the setting sun before gradually disappearing from the town.


    Large leaves covered the cave entrance, with the cool moonlight filtering through the gaps, scattering star like spots inside the cave.


    Sitting cross legged beside a bronze colored cauldron, Blaze Regret''s flame engulfed hands gently touched both sides of the cauldron. His eyes were slightly closed, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead.


    As a substance comparable to a second grade pill, Black Flame Mud could no longer be refined using an ordinary cauldron. After all, such cauldrons could only handle simple pills and potions.


    The liquid inside the cauldron gradually surged towards the center, with its moisture evaporating rapidly, faintly forming a medicinal mud. The rising white smoke indicated the heat of the medicinal mud.


    Following Master Magi''s instructions, Blaze Regret carefully applied the Black Flame Mud onto Red''s body. Instantly, the latter''s eyes widened, and his gaping mouth emitted a painful wail.


    "Bear with it."


    Master Magi grinned maliciously, "This medicinal mud contains extremely violent fire attribute energy. If you can fully absorb it, the benefits will be immense."


    Red''s mouth twitched as he angrily glared at Master Magi, finding his smile increasingly annoying.


    "Crack!"


    The next morning, a crisp sound suddenly resonated by Blaze Regret''s ear.


    The black medicinal mud enveloping Red had already fallen off, like two pieces of broken eggshell.


    Red screamed and ran around the cave energetically, as if on fire.


    "Tsk tsk, the medicinal properties of the Black Flame Mud have been completely absorbed. Now, even without synchronizing with your spiritual power, this little guy can tear apart that Rock Spirit Bear from yesterday," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "That was too reckless," Blaze Regret said, his face pale. The energy of the Black Flame Mud was terrifying; any more, and Red might have exploded from the excess spiritual power.


    However, the effects of the Black Flame Mud were undeniable. If Red could adapt to this state, the speed at which he broke through to the fifth rank would greatly accelerate.


    "Swish!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to push aside the leaves at the entrance of the cave, a dozen vines suddenly dropped down, wrapping around him like venomous snakes.


    "Withered Wood Vine?"


    Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately retreated. Red, on the other hand, charged forward, his body engulfed in Blue flames that sprayed in all directions, though the Blue was tinged with traces of black impurities.


    Feeling the intense heat, the vines emitted a shrill, fearful screech and quickly recoiled. However, they were no match for the incoming Blue flames and were incinerated in an instant.


    "Little guy, you''ve made progress," Master Magi said with a faint smile, glancing at Blaze Regret.


    The old Blaze Regret wouldn''t have had such awareness. After this period of training, his survival skills had clearly improved significantly.


    ¡­


    In the serene forest, a golden armored lion crouched in the grass, its bloodthirsty gaze fixed on a long eared fox eating ahead, its mouth open to reveal cold, sharp teeth.


    Just as it was about to leap and attack, a Blue shadow suddenly appeared behind it. Claws flickering with fire mercilessly plunged into its head. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Sitting on the trunk of a giant tree, Blaze Regret swung his legs leisurely, watching Red execute one flawless ambush after another.


    In a flash, five days had passed.


    By now, Red had a bloody aura about him, and his energy fluctuated, constantly showing signs of advancing to the fifth rank.


    After taking down a winged serpent, Red suddenly let out a low growl. Waves of intense heat rippled outwards, and the black impurities in his burning Blue flames had completely disappeared.


    "He''s at the fifth rank!"


    Blaze Regret leaped down from the tree trunk in surprise, causing a few leaves to drift down in his wake.


    A fifth rank Blue Flame Demon Cat now had the opportunity to comprehend new spiritual skill or upgrade one of it spiritual skill.


    The reason it''s only called an opportunity is that each warrior level spirit beast starts with two basic spiritual skills and if lucky spirit beast also will get opportunity to upgrade one of it skill. Later on, if they want to learn new skills or upgrade skill, it depends entirely on luck and talent.


    Some spirit beasts might only have the initial two skills even when they advance to the Imperial level.

 Chapter 138 - 138 Killing Mad Brother 1 (Bonus)

    At that moment, Red suddenly squatted down, spreading its paws. On one paw, the Fire Spike Ring rapidly appeared, while on the other, Blue spirit energy began to churn vigorously.


    "Hmm?" Master Magi slightly opened his eyes, observing Red with a contemplative look.


    Red''s body trembled slightly, pain evident on its face as all its spirit energy surged towards its right paw, causing the energy there to churn even more violently.


    "Buzz!"


    In the next instant, the churning spirit energy rapidly condensed, and in a blink, another Fire Spike Ring, identical in size to the one on the left paw, materialized!


    "Is that... two Fire Spike Rings?" Blaze Regret''s mouth gaped in astonishment. He hadn''t expected that after it upgrade in rank, Red did not learn new technique but instead upgrade it skill Fire spike Ring and it condense another Fire Spike Ring!


    One Fire Spike Ring was already enough to slay a seventh tier spirit beast; two could contend with an eighth tier spirit beast!


    Realizing this, Blaze Regret felt his mouth go dry. Although the Spirit Skill Flame Breath played a part, the thought of jumping three tiers in combat prowess was something unimaginable in the past.


    "Little guy, someone has entered the mountain range."


    Just as Blaze Regret was watching Red, Master Magi suddenly closed his book and spoke in a calm voice, "There are some familiar faces, one of them is Mad Bull, and the other should be his elder brother, Mad Tan."


    "What are they doing here?" Blaze Regret frowned in confusion.


    This mountain range is rarely visited by people, and the number of Imperial level spirit beasts is much higher than in other places. When discussing this area, spirit hunters usually avoid it at all costs, so why would anyone willingly come here?


    If it weren''t for Master Magi''s presence, he wouldn''t have dared to enter either.


    With a wave of Master Magi''s hand, a golden screen appeared in front of Blaze Regret, showing two figures sneaking through the trees. One of them was indeed Mad Bull, and the other, with a much more authoritative appearance, was undoubtedly his elder brother, Mad Tan.


    "It looks like they are searching for something," Blaze Regret mused.


    After a while, Mad Tan suddenly took out a black fruit piece and map from his pocket.


    "Damn, a Bloodline fruit! Does that mean there''s a bloodline tree around here?"


    Master Magi, who had initially shown no interest, snapped his book shut abruptly and even let out a rare curse.


    Blaze Regret stared unblinkingly at the black fruit piece and map in Black Tan''s hand. Even though he didn''t know what it was, Master Magi''s reaction made it clear that it was something extraordinary.


    "Whoosh!"


    After maintaining this state for a while, Red suddenly wobbled, and the two Fire Spike Rings uncontrollably shot out, pierced through several giant trees in succession and disappeared into the deeper part of the forest. A clear Cat cry echoed in the air.


    "So that''s how it is. The spirit energy consumed by two Fire Spike Rings is not simply additive but exponentially greater. It seems that condensing two Fire Spike Rings has drained all of Red''s spirit energy, making it impossible to maintain their operation any longer," Master Magi''s thoughts raced. Even so, he looked at Red with newfound respect.


    Achieving this feat showed that Red''s intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary spirit beasts.


    The Rock Spirit Bear, as massive as a small mountain, strode through the forest. A Black Wind Leopard that lunged to attack was brutally torn in half, blood raining down.


    "Big brother, are you sure there''s a Bloodline spirit tree here?" Mad Bull asked, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a hint of doubt in his voice.


    "Absolutely. That spiritual warrior said he found the bloodline tree that near it ripe here before he died. He couldn''t have been wrong," Mad Tan replied, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth as he recalled the spiritual Warrior he had tortured to death.


    "A few days ago, my Rock Spirit Bear died in battle, and I haven''t found a replacement. If I can get new spiritual beast, I''ll tear that kid to pieces. And I''ll also snatch that Blue Jade Cat Spirit."


    Mad Tan held a map, sneering, "You actually fell to a fourth tier spiritual warrior. That''s quite embarrassing. But there are few in Hildan Town who dare lay a hand on my brother. Since he did, I''ll make sure he understands the price of crossing me."


    After search for a longtime. Mad Bull feel tired and ask his brother to take a little rest. They search for a cave because afraid get attack from any wild imperial level spirit beast.


    "Found it!"


    Finally, Mad Tan stood before a black cave entrance, his face filled with indescribable excitement. "We can rest in here for now before we proceed to find the bloodline tree. Rock Spirit Bear, you go in first."


    The Rock Spirit Bear crouched down, grasped the cave entrance with its paws, and leaped down. Even from the tree trunk, Blaze Regret could feel the ground tremble.


    "So arrogant. Aren''t they afraid of attracting a Imperial grade spiritual beast?" Blaze Regret smirked, envisioning a scene where a spiritual Imperial beast suddenly appeared and tore the two men to pieces.


    "Didn''t you notice? Every time they move, they sprinkle a white powder around them. That powder is made from the bones of the lord level spiritual beast, the Cyan Alchemist Spider. Imperial grade spiritual beasts are repelled by its scent and won''t dare to come near," Master Magi explained with a smile after the two men and the bear had been inside for a while. "Let''s go in. It seems safe now."


    Leaping down from the tree, Blaze Regret cautiously approached the cave entrance. After listening intently for a while to ensure that Mad Tan and Mad Bull had moved far enough, he carefully slipped inside.


    "Thud!"


    Straightening up slowly, Blaze Regret found himself in a dark passageway. Blaze Regret ask red to go infront to check if got any ambush.

    Blaze Regret with Red, began to walk deeper into the passageway. Since Mad Tan and Mad Bull had been inside for a while, they didn''t encounter each other.


    They walked in dark passage for an unknown length of time. Just as Blaze Regret was beginning to feel oppressed by the constant dark, two faint voices finally reached his ears.


    "Big brother, did yo really think the map is true. Why haven''t we seen any trace of the bloodline tree yet?"


    "Heh, Bloodline tree, these treasure tree, usually in a enclosed spaces. We will search other place with cave after this."


    Just as he want to take a little nap, Mad Tan suddenly turned around and shouted sternly, "Who''s there? Show yourself!"


    "There''s no one..."


    Mad Bull''s voice trailed off, and the latter part of his sentence got stuck in his throat when he saw Blaze Regret slowly walking out from behind, looking helpless.


    "It''s you!" Mad Bull clenched his fist, his eyes bursting with a cold, murderous intent.


    "You know him?" Mad Tan asked, surprised, glancing at Mad Bull.


    "It''s him, the kid who killed my Rock Spirit Bear. I never thought I''d run into him here. It''s like heaven is helping me. Big brother, don''t kill him outright; I want to take my time torturing him," Mad Bull said, eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Blaze Regret.


    "Oh? So it''s you."


    Mad Tan looked Blaze Regret up and down with interest. When he noticed that Blaze Regret was already a fifth grade warrior, he sneered, "Just advanced, huh? A fifth level spiritual warrior at such a young age is rare. I''ll give you a chance. Come over and kowtow to my brother a few times to vent his anger, and I can recommend you to join the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn''t expected that Mad Tan had connections with the Rock Wilderness Spirit Hunting Group.


    "No, that''s not enough here!"


    Mad Bull sneered and waved his hand, then pointed to his mud stained cloth boots: "When we get to Hildan Town, I want you to lick these clean in front of all the spirit hunters. Otherwise, I won''t be satisfied."


    "Do it." Mad Tan glanced at Blaze Regret and then turned around, as if expecting that Blaze Regret wouldn''t dare to refuse.


    "Hey, listen." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret sighed, why do many like to talk like that to me. his voice slowly filled with exasperation: "Do you two find talking to yourselves interesting? Licking someone else''s boots is something I can''t do. But you two, if you''re interested, you can give it a try."


    "Do you want to die?"


    Mad Tan turned back, his eyes filled with cold, murderous intent: "Since you''re so ungrateful, don''t blame me for not giving you a chance to live. Rock Spirit Bear, in ten breaths, cover this passage with this kid''s blood."


    Rock Spirit Bear looked indifferently at Blaze Regret and the Red, whose whole body was rising with Blue flames. With a clenched fist, gray white rocks condensed around it. Stepping with a force that made the dark cave tremble, it threw a fierce punch.


    "Bang!"


    The air seemed to explode at this moment, and the surging wind made Red''s fur flutter slightly.


    Such an attack made Blaze Regret''s face slightly tense. The seventh grade Rock Spirit Bear was obviously much stronger than Mad Bull''s fifth grade Rock Spirit Bear. Even without using any spirit techniques, it could deliver such a terrifying blow.


    Seeing this, Red let out a battle filled growl. Its sharp claws spread open, and blazing Blue flames surged up, then it met the attack head on without any avoidance.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks flew, and Red staggered back a few steps, barely stabilizing itself against the cave wall. The Rock Spirit Bear, surprised that it hadn''t killed the Flame Cat, immediately joined its fists together, raised them high above its head, and slammed them down fiercely.


    With a slight sidestep, Red dodged the Rock Spirit Bear''s unstoppable strike. Its tail blade swiped out, leaving a long bloody gash on the bear''s arm.


    Competing in strength with Rock Spirit Bear was clearly unwise. Such spirit beasts possessed overwhelming power, rarely defeated by same grade spirit beasts. But in terms of speed, Rock Spirit Bear couldn''t keep up with Red at all.


    Feeling the pain in its arm, the Rock Spirit Bear let out an angry roar and swept its large palm, tearing a long crack in the hard cave wall.


    Rolling on the ground to dodge the attack, Red was about to get up when its fur suddenly stood on end. It quickly rolled another round, just as the Rock Spirit Bear''s foot stomped heavily on the spot where it had been, causing the ground to cave in.


    "Big brother, this flame Cat has a spiritual technique that can temporarily increase its rank. It''s best to finish it quickly!"


    Watching the Rock Spirit Bear''s repeated missed attacks, a hint of urgency flashed in Mad Bull''s eyes. The scene of Red piercing through the abdomen of the fifth grade Rock Spirit Bear like lightning had left an indelible shadow in his heart.


    "It can increase its rank? Interesting." Mad Tan''s mouth twisted into a cold smile.


    The heavy palm strike only caught a few strands of Blue fur, and a look of irritation appeared in Rock Spirit Bear''s eyes. As it clenched its fist, earthy yellow spiritual energy transformed into sharp stone spears, which then fanned out toward Red with a sweep of its hand.


    Red''s eyes narrowed slightly. Flames surrounded its body, and its aura surged instantly. With a swipe of its tail blade, all the stone spears shattered and embedded themselves in the ground at an angle.


    "The strength can actually rival a sixth grade spirit beast," Mad Tan said with a careless smile. "No wonder it could kill my brother''s Rock Spirit Bear. It turns out to be the rare spiritual technique, Flame Breath. However, the gap in strength can''t be bridged with such minor tricks, so just accept your fate."


    "Roar!"

 Chapter 140 - 140 Killing Mad Brother 3

    Rock Spirit Bear raised both palms, gathering all its spiritual energy. In a blink, a rock sphere emitting immense spiritual power appeared, clearly much stronger than the one Mad Bull''s Rock Spirit Bear could create.


    "I''ve broken this move before," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    "How about this one?"


    With a sinister laugh, Mad Tan watched as another rock sphere formed in Rock Spirit Bear''s other hand. The ground beneath it sank a few inches from the sudden additional weight.


    "Two of them, huh?"


    Blaze Regret''s voice remained unperturbed. He lifted his face slightly and said softly, "I haven''t broken this one before, but I can break it for you now."


    "Arrogant!" Mad Tan sneered dismissively.


    With a low roar, Rock Spirit Bear launched the two rock spheres. They radiated violent energy waves, as if capable of shattering mountains.


    The attack came whistling like a fierce wind. The battle intent in Red''s eyes surged suddenly. On its outstretched paw, a tangible Blue fire ring appeared, spinning rapidly and emitting a piercing sound as it sliced through the air.


    "What kind of spiritual technique is that?" Mad Tan''s eyes narrowed, feeling a sense of mortal danger from the spiked fire ring.


    "Shua!"


    As Red''s hand moved, the fire ring vanished instantly, reappearing in front of the twin star like rock spheres. Surprisingly, their collision didn''t produce much sound.


    The sharp fire ring sliced directly through the two rock spheres, and when it reappeared, the flames enveloping it had dimmed significantly.


    The rock spheres continued their rapid trajectory, showing no signs of damage.


    "Haha, I thought it was some powerful spiritual technique," Mad Bull laughed loudly, while Mad Tan smirked dismissively.


    With calm Blue eyes, Red watched the incoming rock spheres. It extended its claw, making contact with one of the spheres, and exerted a slight pressure.


    "Crack!"


    The two rock spheres stopped spinning instantly. Cracks spread across their surfaces like spider webs, and with a loud bang, they shattered completely.


    Mad Tan and Mad Bull''s pupils shrank, but before they could react, the slightly dimmed fire ring surged with spiritual energy once more. Its speed increased sharply, and after a few spirals, it slashed fiercely toward Rock Spirit Bear''s head.


    "Rock Spirit Bear, use Stone Shield!" Mad Tan shouted urgently.


    Rock Spirit Bear, momentarily panicked, hammered the ground with its palms, raising a stone wall like a shield in front of it.


    However, the destructive power of the fire ring far exceeded the hardness of the stone shield. With a slight flicker, it tore through the shield''s defense, and the sharp fire spikes became clearly visible in Rock Spirit Bear''s eyes.


    Crossing its arms, Rock Spirit Bear channeled all its spiritual energy to its arms, forming an extremely hard rock armor to meet the incoming fire ring head on.


    "Clang!"


    The edges of the fire ring spun wildly against the rock armor, creating a dazzling shower of sparks. In the next instant, it shot out from behind Rock Spirit Bear like a bolt of lightning, embedding itself deeply into the fiery crystal wall.


    Rock Spirit Bear''s arms fell limp as it stared blankly at the Blue Flame Demon Cat. Its mouth opened slightly before it collapsed backward, with blood gushing and flowing through the passage.


    "How could this happen?" Mad Bull''s legs trembled slightly as he looked at the fallen Rock Spirit Bear. Just a few days ago, this Flame Cat didn''t possess such terrifying spiritual techniques. How could it have suddenly become so powerful?


    The one most affected was undoubtedly Mad Tan. He had entered the this mountain with high hopes of obtaining the bloodline fruit to further enhance his strength. However, the harsh reality shattered his spirit.


    "Your brother isn''t that hard to deal with after all," Blaze Regret said with a smile, shaking his head gently as he looked at Mad Bull.


    "Don''t kill me, don''t kill me."


    As the Red approached, Mad Bull clung to the wall of the cave in fear, repeatedly pleading with Blaze Regret, "If you spare my life, I''ll even be your dog!" sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes were cold. With a flick of his sharp claws, a line of blood appeared on Mad Bull''s neck.


    "A person who doesn''t even want their dignity, what''s the point of living?" Blaze Regret said indifferently.


    Seeing Mad Bull fall, Mad Tan shivered all over. As he retreated, he tried to sound fierce but was actually trembling, "Boy, do you know my relationship with the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunters? If you kill me, you''ll face endless pursuit in Hildan Town!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s lips curled into an amused smile.


    Spirit Imperial were indeed strong to him now, but using them to threaten him? It just showed how naive Mad Tan was.


    The Blue flame''s Demon Cat palm trembled, and its sharp claws extended, mercilessly slashing towards Mad Tan''s throat.


    "Snap!"


    Mad Tan died just like his brother Mad Bull. Regret came to their body and search for any treasure that they have. But the main is to find the map n bloodline fruit piece. After find what he want, Blaze Regret and Red go out the cave to search the location of the bloodline fruit.


    However, to help Red recover as quickly as possible, Blaze Regret chose to walk for the time being.


    Blaze Regret walked swiftly. Even while descending the mountain, Master Magi didn''t forget to release his spiritual power to avoid ambushes any imperial spirit beast.


    After some time, Blaze Regret reached the outskirts of Mountain. Suddenly, he stopped. There were no enemies around him. Instead, he had discovered a concealed valley entrance. This valley entrance was very hidden, only allowing one person to pass through and was covered by dense shrubs. If Master Magi hadn''t released his spiritual power, Blaze Regret wouldn''t have discovered this place.


    Because this Mountain was "fraught with danger," Blaze Regret did not immediately want to explore it and instinctively thought of leaving.


    But just then, his ears twitched as he vaguely heard the sounds of collisions and roars, giving the impression that a battle was taking place inside.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 141 - 141 Bloodline Fruit 1

    Judging by the frequency of the sounds, there were quite a few participants in the battle.


    "Should I go or not?" Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment but ultimately couldn''t resist his curiosity and chose to explore the valley.


    For safety, Blaze Regret ask red to go in first to search and find if any danger near the entrance before proceeding cautiously.


    At first, the passage was narrow, barely allowing one person to pass. However, the further he went, the wider it became. After advancing several dozen steps, the view suddenly opened up.


    It was a gourd shaped valley with lush vegetation and abundant grass. Such a natural environment inevitably housed a large number of wild Spirit beast. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret was positioned on higher ground. Using the trees as cover, he peeked out and quickly took in everything within the valley.


    In the Gourd Valley, there was a sizable grassy area where two groups of wild Spirit Beast were engaged in a fierce battle.


    One of these Spirit beast groups resembled zebras. They were robust, with their bodies covered in tassel like purple stripes. They had a long silver horn on their heads, lightning markings on their foreheads, and a pair of purple eyes, making them look like legendary unicorns.


    These were Thunder Zebras, a rare type of electric Spirit Beast known for their irritable and easily angered nature. They were renowned for their terrifying burst of speed and were popular as Spirit beast mounts.


    The other group of Spirit Beast looked similar to mantises but stood over a meter tall. They were dark green all over and stood on two legs. Their forearms were a pair of serrated green scythes, and they had a pair of wings on their backs as thin as cicada wings.


    These were Serrated Mantises, known for their exceptionally fierce attacks but with the drawback of poor defense.


    Due to their living habits, these two Spirit beast groups were naturally at odds and were currently engaged in a fierce battle.


    The Thunder Zebras excelled both at close and long range combat without significant weaknesses. In contrast, the Serrated Mantises were primarily close combat fighters whose poor defense meant they often used offense as their best defense. However, this also meant they couldn''t sustain prolonged fights.


    As time passed, more and more Spirit Beast fell to the ground, some losing their ability to fight, while others died outright.


    From the looks of it, the numbers and combat strength of both sides were evenly matched, and it seemed it would take a considerable amount of time to determine the victor.


    At this moment, Blaze Regret began cautiously approaching the battlefield.


    Given the numbers of both sides, there was a significant chance of encountering medium tier Spirit Beast. If luck was on his side, he might even "pick up" high tier or even exceptional ones.


    After about five minutes, when he was still four to five hundred meters away from the battlefield, Blaze Regret stopped and waited quietly for the battle to end, knowing that the time to reap the rewards was fast approaching.


    Blaze Regret observed in secret, his gaze mainly focused on the center of the battlefield, where energies were fluctuating wildly. Over a dozen wild Spirit Beast were engaged in a chaotic battle.


    Unlike the thunder striped zebras and Serrated mantises on the periphery, these Spirit Beast were far more imposing, at least at the lower ninth tier warrior grade , each clustered around their respective leaders.


    Both in terms of aura and size, their leaders were significantly stronger than these elite Spirit Beast, being bona fide high tier Spirit Beast.


    At this moment, the thunder striped zebra leader, surrounded by lightning, lowered its head forcefully. Its sharp horn aimed at the Serrated mantis leader, and like an arrow released from a bowstring, it launched a swift charge.


    The Serrated mantis leader did not dodge; it resolutely chose to attack rather than defend. Its hands formed a cross, and its serrated scythes interlocked, flashing with a striking blade light as it slashed towards the thunder striped zebra leader''s head.


    Boom! Boom!


    Dull collision sounds echoed as both parties retreated a distance. A deep, bone revealing cross shaped wound appeared on the thunder striped zebra leader''s head, with bright red blood gushing out, staining the ground crimson.


    The Serrated mantis leader did not come out unscathed either; its chest was punctured by the opponent''s horn, with threads of electric current coursing through its wound, causing a numbing sensation throughout its body.


    In the next moment, the leaders of both factions moved again, their speeds so fast they seemed like two black shadows intertwining instantly.


    While the leaders were dueling, the other members of the two groups mainly engaged in group combat, which was undoubtedly even more brutal.


    In such circumstances, more and more wild Spirit Beast lost their combat abilities; some were rendered immobile, while others ceased to breathe altogether.


    Compared to human wars, the battles of wild Spirit Beast were more cruel and bloody, illustrating the law of natural selection, where only the fittest survive.


    The more wild Spirit Beast that died, the more heartache Blaze Regret felt. Who knew if among these fallen Spirit Beast there were any of high quality?


    Before long, both Spirit Beast factions had suffered heavy losses, but the situation on the battlefield remained evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a victor.


    Typically, at this stage, to avoid mutual destruction, both sides would choose to retreat and cease fighting once they had reached a certain point.


    However, the reality was that they were completely consumed by bloodlust, fighting with such fervor that it seemed they would not stop until their goals were achieved.


    "Strange!" Blaze Regret thought to himself, watching the unusually brutal battlefield with curiosity.


    At that moment, Blaze Regret faintly caught a whiff of a peculiar fragrance.


    Red''s sense of smell was noticeably keener. However, upon inhaling this scent, it inexplicably grew agitated and its body began to heat up. Despite its efforts to control itself, Red could not completely resist the sensation.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 142 - 142 Bloodline Fruit 2

    "Red, what''s wrong?" Blaze Regret immediately noticed Red''s unusual behavior.


    Red let out a soft whine, its nose twitching as it stared intently in the direction of the northeast corner. As soon as it opened its mouth, drool began to pour out like a waterfall.


    Following Red''s gaze, Blaze Regret looked in that direction.


    Close to the center of the battlefield, the leaders of both factions were still locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle. This time, however, Blaze Regret''s focus shifted from them to the surrounding environment.


    Soon, his gaze fixed on a small tree.


    The tree was within the range of the Spirit Beast leaders'' battle, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent that they instinctively avoided the tree while attacking.


    "A willow tree?"


    Blaze Regret was somewhat puzzled. This small tree resembled a willow, with the exception that it bore a red and green fruit at the top of its canopy. The fruit was round and plump, translucent, and faintly emitted a dim, blood red glow.


    As time passed, the blood red glow grew more intense, and the fragrance it emanated became richer, spreading over a wider area.


    "This...this is...a Bloodline Fruit!" As if recalling something, Master Magi felt a surge of excitement.


    The Bloodline Fruit is a rare essence of nature, formed only through the mutation of trees and impossible to cultivate. According to various indications, any tree species could potentially produce a Bloodline Fruit.


    The effects of the Bloodline Fruit are incredibly potent; it can stimulate and enhance a Spirit Beast''s bloodline, giving the Spirit Beast the chance to evolve into a stronger species. It was no wonder these two factions were fighting so fiercely.


    However, consuming a Bloodline Fruit does not guarantee bloodline enhancement. Its success rate varies, mainly depending on the Spirit Beast''s quality and bloodline concentration. The higher the quality and the lower the bloodline concentration, the higher the likelihood of success. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If the bloodline enhancement fails, the Spirit Beast won''t explode, but it will suffer a period of lethargy.


    "This Bloodline Fruit isn''t fully ripe yet!" After observing for a moment, Master Magi concluded. According to his knowledge , a Bloodline Fruit is only fully mature when it turns completely blood red.


    An unripe Bloodline Fruit not only lacks any beneficial effects but is also highly toxic, which is why wild Spirit Beast avoid touching it.


    Moreover, once a Bloodline Fruit matures, it must be consumed quickly, or the energy it contains will gradually dissipate until it becomes ineffective.


    Given the powerful effects of the Bloodline Fruit, even though it cannot be preserved, high level Beast Masters are willing to pay a high price for its growth location, indicating its immense value.


    "Red, be patient. We''ll wait until it''s fully ripe," Blaze Regret reassured Red, who visibly calmed down, partly because the Bloodline Fruit hadn''t matured yet.


    As they waited, time slowly passed, and Blaze Regret noticed several wild Spirit Beast in the surroundings.


    As the Bloodline Fruit neared maturity, its fragrance grew stronger, inevitably attracting more wild Spirit Beast.


    Every fully mature Bloodline Fruit typically triggers a fierce scramble.


    There was no other way; the Bloodline Fruit was too important to them.


    In the eyes of the two Spirit Beast factions, they were the valley''s dominant forces, believing that defeating the other would grant them ownership of the Bloodline Fruit.


    Unfortunately, the two factions were evenly matched. After a prolonged battle, neither could defeat the other, leading to a mutually destructive outcome.


    Before the Bloodline Fruit matured, their battle finally came to an end. The thunder striped zebra faction barely edged out a victory.


    However, the cost was high. The thunder striped zebra faction suffered heavy losses, with only a few zebras left capable of fighting, and even they were far from their prime.


    The thunder striped zebra leader stood triumphantly over the Serrated mantis leader''s corpse, raising its head and letting out a victorious cry. However, its condition was dire; although it had defeated its opponent, it was severely wounded, covered in scars, and had a broken horn.


    "It''s our turn now!" Blaze Regret thought to himself. Seizing the moment before the Bloodline Fruit matured, he immediately took action.


    Blaze Regret left his hiding place and, under the protection of Red, Blaze Regret slowly advanced towards the battlefield.


    In the midst of two major factions suffering heavy losses, the surrounding wild Spirit beasts had to weigh their own strengths and would not easily provoke conflict.


    Of course, if the bloodline fruit matured, the nearby wild Spirit beasts would inevitably fall into a frenzy. At that point, they would have no reservations and would definitely trigger another round of chaos.


    Almost simultaneously, many wild Spirit beasts also began to leave their hiding places, moving closer to the bloodline fruit, eager to occupy the most advantageous positions.


    The thinking of Spirit beasts is simple; they don''t have the convoluted thoughts of humans. They believe that the closer they are to the bloodline fruit, the better. Once the fruit matures, they can seize it at the first opportunity.


    However, this also comes with the greatest danger, as they often become targets of focused attacks.


    The lightning striped zebra community always occupies the best positions, while the other wild Spirit beasts are spread out, waiting for the bloodline fruit to mature.


    Unlike the wild Spirit beasts, Blaze Regret did not approach the bloodline fruit immediately. Based on the condition of the fruit, it would undoubtedly take some time to fully mature.


    After the battle, the nearby grass was soaked in blood, with numerous lightning striped zebras and Serrated mantises lying on the ground. Many were already dead, but quite a few had survived.


    However, even those who survived would not have a good fate. When the bloodline fruit matured, a second round of chaos would surely ensue, and they would definitely be affected.


    Try to use your spirit sense to sense if there any high quality spirit beast in the battlefield. After you use the Sacred Crystal before. It should also give you an ability to sense spirit beast tier and temporary contract beside can contract all element. Said Master Magi

 Chapter 143 - 143 Bloodline Fruit 3

    In the next moment, Blaze Regret extended his Spirit power, encompassing an area of several dozen meters, carefully sensing the quality of the Spirit Beasts.


    In an instant, his mind resembled a radar screen, displaying dozens of light spots. These light spots represented the quality of the Spirit Beasts, with brighter spots indicating higher quality, said Master Magi.


    Unfortunately, all of these light spots were dim, with brightness barely discernible, and none represented anything better than low quality Spirit Beasts.


    Blaze Regret felt a bit disappointed, but he did not lose heart. Although the battlefield was not very large, the range of his Spirit power was limited, and he could not encompass them all at once.


    Soon, Blaze Regret reached the other side and extended his Spirit power again. This time, there was a noticeable difference. The vast majority of light spots remained very dim, but one spot clearly stood out, radiating a bright glow.


    Following the position of the bright spot, Blaze Regret quickly locked onto his target.


    It was a lightning striped zebra, smaller than its peers and appeared younger, seemingly still in its novice tier.


    The lightning striped zebra stared blankly with lifeless eyes, and there was a deep wound on its neck, from which blood continuously flowed, leaving a large pool of blood on the ground.


    This was undoubtedly a fatal injury. If it was not treated in time, this lightning striped zebra would end up bleeding to death, Said Master Magi.


    The dying state is different from losing combat ability; if it does not receive treatment, its condition will continue to worsen, ultimately leading to death.


    Blaze Regret stood before the lightning striped zebra and, regardless of whether it could understand him, said from his elevated position, "If you want to live, then open your mind and sign a temporary contract with me!"


    Perhaps the lightning striped zebra had opened its mind, or maybe its condition was just too dire. In any case, the temporary contract was quickly completed, resulting in a mark that was branded onto the zebra''s head.


    "Master Magi, can you please heal it?"


    Master Magi nodded with a serious expression, and green wooden energy quickly gathered, beginning to heal the lightning striped zebra''s wounds.


    Under Master Magi''s treatment, the zebra''s injuries stabilized rapidly and was eventually stored in Blaze Regret''s Spirit realms stone.


    Soon, Blaze Regret searched the entire battlefield, but unfortunately, he did not find a second high quality Spirit Beast.


    "I still need some helpers!" Looking at the bloodline fruit that had not yet fully matured, Blaze Regret''s mind began to formulate new ideas.


    With his current strength, trying to snatch the bloodline fruit amidst the chaos would be extremely difficult. Moreover, even if he succeeded, he would need a way to break through the encirclement.


    To enhance his strength in a short time, Blaze Regret planned to contract wild Spirit Beasts. His target was the lightning striped zebra. Although the Serrated mantis was stronger in close combat, the lightning striped zebra had advantages in speed and ranged attacks, and it could also be ridden, making it more suitable for the upcoming chaos.


    Due to his limited spirit power, Blaze Regret could only choose the best among the candidates. After careful selection, he ultimately contracted five lightning striped zebras with Master Magi help.


    These five zebras were not severely injured and quickly regained their mobility under Master Magi''s healing.


    Additionally, all of them were at levels between Low tier warrior seventh grade and Rank ninth grade, meaning that even without fully recovering, they possessed considerable combat strength.


    Since Red was the main force in seizing the bloodline fruit, Blaze Regret chose one of the ninth grade lightning striped zebras to serve as it temporary mount. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Once prepared, Blaze Regret led his team close to the willow tree nurturing the bloodline fruit. He did not head to the center but instead stayed in a relatively rear position.


    **Yuu Yuu~**


    Not far away, seeing the five lightning striped zebras beside Blaze Regret, the leader of the lightning striped zebras displayed a human-like expression of surprise before letting out a powerful roar directed at the five zebras.


    The five lightning striped zebras clearly became agitated, seemingly wanting to move towards their leader and obey its commands.


    Blaze Regret had anticipated this and hurriedly activated the temporary contract. In an instant, the contract marks on the heads of the five zebras began to emit a dim glow.


    If there had been a choice, he wouldn''t have activated the contract marks.


    In that moment, the five lightning striped zebras felt a sharp pain in their heads, a deep seated agony that caused them to let out painful whinnies.


    Soon, the pain subsided.


    Under the intimidation of the contract marks, their gazes towards Blaze Regret were filled with awe, and they no longer dared to act on their own.


    **Yuu Yuu~**


    The leader of the lightning striped zebras did not give up and called out again, its voice carrying authority and warning. Unfortunately, due to the intimidation of the contract marks, the zebras ignored their leader, keeping their heads down and not daring to look at it.


    "As long as you don''t go against my orders, you''ll be set free once the task is accomplished! Now, drink this healing liquid and spirit food, and you''ll have the strength to fight!"


    At this moment, Blaze Regret took out several large bowls and poured the healing liquid and spirit food into them.


    In addition to restoring their injuries and stamina, Blaze Regret also had the intention of winning them over, especially since, in a way, he had saved their lives.


    After drinking the healing liquid and eat the spirit food, its effects quickly took hold. The five lightning striped zebras became invigorated, and their injuries began to heal at a visibly rapid pace.


    During this time, Blaze Regret remained still, quietly waiting for the bloodline fruit to mature.


    After about a quarter of an hour, the bloodline fruit emitted an intensely rich fragrance, and its color had completely transformed into a deep blood red.


    The bloodline fruit was ripe!

 Chapter 144 - 144 Bloodline Fruit 4

    At the moment the bloodline fruit ripened, the surrounding wild Spirit Beast immediately sprang into action.


    **Snap!**


    The fastest to move was naturally the Thunder Zebra leader closest to the fruit. It leaped high, seemingly about to swallow the bloodline fruit.


    Unfortunately, just as it was about to succeed, a large earth colored hand suddenly formed on the ground, grabbing the Thunder Zebra leader by its hind leg and flinging it away before it could react.


    "Earth Rhino!" Blaze Regret remained motionless, constantly observing the situation. As soon as the earth colored hand formed, he immediately identified the opponent.


    This was a massive rhino, standing over ten feet tall and about four meters in length. It had a plump body, with one long and one short horn on its head, and its whole body was covered in thick rock, giving the impression of a rock armor.


    Undoubtedly, this was also a mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast.


    Besides the Earth Rhino, there were several other mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast nearby, which was why Blaze Regret didn''t take immediate action. Even if he succeeded by chance, he wouldn''t be able to keep the bloodline fruit.


    The Earth Rhino moved slowly, and before it could take a step, a golden figure arrived first, opening its mouth to bite the bloodline fruit.


    This was a Thunder Leopard, known for its speed and explosiveness, and like the Earth Rhino, it was also a mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As Blaze Regret had anticipated, before the Thunder Leopard could succeed, it was bound in place by several thick vines.


    The one binding the Thunder Leopard was a Thorn Flower Spirit Beast, a plant type Spirit Beast with a huge flower. The flower had a face as beautiful as a blossom, and instead of legs, it had over a dozen thick vines, almost all of which could serve as weapons.


    The only downside was that its mobility was even slower than that of the Earth Rhino, which is a common issue among many plant type Spirit Beast.


    After temporarily binding the Thunder Leopard, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast controlled one of its vines to reach straight for the bloodline fruit.


    Suddenly, a large pigeon sized Spotted Spider hung from a willow tree, its scarlet eyes gleaming. It sprayed silver web from its mouth, the sticky strands entangling with the vine, making it difficult for the vine to advance.


    In the sky, a snow white bird with a wingspan of about five or six meters seized the opportunity. It moved swiftly, like a white shadow, diving down with its giant hook like claws aimed at the bloodline fruit.


    "Heavenly Bird!" Blaze Regret was visibly surprised upon seeing the bird. This was a rather rare Spirit Beast, especially valued for its healing abilities, making it highly sought after by spirit beast masters and thus increasingly rare in the wild.


    Moreover, even mid tier warrior grade Heavenly Birds typically had a wingspan of only three or four meters. This bird, with its wingspan of five or six meters, clearly had extraordinary innate talent.


    As before, just before the Heavenly Bird could succeed, a piercing sound broke through the air. Several foot long ice spikes shot toward it.


    Blocking the Heavenly Bird was the Frost Centipede, another rare ice type Spirit Beast. It was icy blue, with a ferocious head and over a dozen razor sharp legs. Its most distinctive feature was a pair of wings on its back, thin as cicada wings, giving it the ability to fly for short periods.


    According to legends, the Frost Centipede had the bloodline of the Six Winged Frost Centipede.


    In addition to these mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast, there were dozens of lower tier warrior grade Spirit Beast of various kinds. However, their chances of obtaining the bloodline fruit were minimal due to their limited strength.


    Forced by the ice spikes, the Heavenly Bird had to abandon the bloodline fruit, folding its wings and narrowly dodging the ice spikes.


    Without any prelude, all the wild Spirit Beast around the willow tree went berserk. While vying for the bloodline fruit, they also attacked each other.


    A chaotic battle was inevitable.


    Vines, earth spikes, wind blades, fireballs, and ice spikes flew in all directions, devastating the surrounding land. The grassland disappeared, replaced by large pits and ravines.


    The only exception was the willow tree bearing the bloodline fruit.


    A gentle breeze blew through, causing the tender willow branches to rustle softly.


    In the midst of mutual restraint, no one was able to seize the bloodline fruit for the moment.


    This stalemate didn''t last long. Soon, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast, sustaining only light injuries, managed to temporarily shake off the Spotted Spider''s entanglement and controlled its vine to pluck the bloodline fruit.


    At this critical juncture, the other mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast were all too occupied to intervene.


    "Thunder Zebra, target the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast, Thunder Strike!" In a split second, Blaze Regret had no choice but to take action.


    Thunder Strike was the Thunder Zebra''s specialty in long range attacks.


    Before the vine could grasp the bloodline fruit, the horns of five Thunder Zebras began to crackle with electricity, culminating in five arm thick bolts of lightning that shot toward the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast.


    Among the various elements, wind attacks are the fastest, followed by lightning.


    **Zzzap¡ª**


    Since the attack came from behind, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast had no time to react. It was struck by the five bolts of lightning, letting out a sharp, agonizing scream as its actions were interrupted.


    Although the five Thunder Zebras were not as advanced as the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast in terms of level, their numbers gave them an advantage, severely injuring the Spirit Beast.


    At that moment, the Spotted Spider leaped forward with an impressive jump, appearing in front of the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast in an instant. Its menacing mouthparts bit down hard on the Spirit Beast''s face.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 145 - 145 Bloodline Fruit 5

    On the brink of death, the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast retaliated, retracting all the vines that had bound the Thunder Leopard and whipping them continuously at the Spotted Spider''s back, trying to force it to retreat.


    **Whip, whip, whip¡ª**


    Unexpectedly, the Spotted Spider did not let go. Its mouthparts, now glowing green, continued to bite into the Spirit Beast while enduring the lashes, absorbing the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast''s strength.


    "Red, finish them off!" Blaze Regret wasn''t about to miss this opportunity. At his command, Red dashed forward.


    Seeing Red approach, the Spotted Spider hurriedly let go, instinctively trying to retreat. But Red was too fast, catching up in just two steps and delivering a crushing blow with its claw. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    **Boom¡ª**


    With a muffled thud, the Spotted Spider didn''t even have time to scream before its head seemed to explode. Green and red fluids splattered everywhere, and it met a swift demise.


    At the same time, just as the Thorn Flower Spirit Beast had barely managed to escape the Spotted Spider, it suddenly felt a darkness envelop it. Blaze Regret, riding his Thunder Zebra, appeared before it. Under its terrified gaze, the Thunder Zebra raised its hooves high and executed a Stomp skill.


    **Screech¡ª**


    The Thorn Flower Spirit Beast let out a despairing cry. Already on the brink of death from the Spotted Spider''s assault, it had no strength left to resist. Its beautiful, flower like head was crushed under the impact of the hooves.


    In the span of a few breaths, Blaze Regret seized the opportunity to eliminate two mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast. However, he had no time to collect their Spirit Beast cores, as the situation on the battlefield had changed once again.


    **Crack¡ª**


    Controlled by the Earth Rhino, a sharp rock spike suddenly shot up from the ground. Due to severe injuries, the Thunder Zebra leader''s speed was compromised, and it couldn''t dodge in time. The spike pierced through its belly, spilling its intestines and blood all over the ground.


    **Neigh¡ª**


    The Thunder Zebra leader struggled a few times, then weakly lifted its head. Its eyes cleared, and it gazed at the cloudless sky, letting out one final cry.


    After dispatching the Thunder Zebra leader, the Earth Rhino began to stride steadily toward the bloodline fruit. Its movements were not fast, but they were filled with an unstoppable momentum.


    **Neigh¡ª**


    With their leader dead, the other Thunder Zebras under its command raised their heads and let out a mournful cry. Despite the disparity in strength, they all charged at the Earth Rhino.


    As it ran, the Earth Rhino opened its mouth, spitting out head sized rocks like a machine gun.


    These rocks were precise and rapid, instantly killing two Thunder Zebras. Then the two sides clashed directly. The Earth Rhino, like a tiger among sheep, was unstoppable. Its defense was incredibly strong, and the bites and stomps of the Thunder Zebras couldn''t do much damage.


    On the other hand, the Earth Rhino moved as if there were no one in its path, effortlessly eliminating the Thunder Zebras. Blood splattered everywhere, creating a scene of utter carnage.


    In just a few breaths, the Earth Rhino had dispatched the remaining Thunder Zebras and appeared beneath the willow tree. Immediately, it reared up on its hind legs, aiming to devour the bloodline fruit.


    Just as the Earth Rhino was about to succeed, several Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast still engaged in battle immediately sensed something was wrong. They quickly shifted their targets and launched a fierce attack on the Earth Rhino.


    The Frost Centipede on both flanks swiftly folded its wings, and in the blink of an eye, ice blue energy converged to form two enormous ice blades, each about a meter long, slicing towards the Earth Rhino.


    Chirp~


    In the sky, the Bird of Paradise let out a loud cry, radiating a brilliant light. The dazzling rays condensed into several substantial light arrows, which shot down towards the Earth Rhino below.


    Due to the haste, both Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast used their basic skills primarily to obstruct the Earth Rhino.


    In the blink of an eye, the ice blades and light arrows appeared in front of the Earth Rhino. Surprisingly, the Earth Rhino did not dodge or activate any skills. Instead, it resisted with its body while opening its mouth to bite the Bloodline Fruit.


    Boom boom boom boom~


    A series of loud explosions erupted, and the rocky armor on the Earth Rhino''s surface was almost completely shattered. Several wounds appeared on its thick hide, but upon closer inspection, these wounds were not very deep and did not cause significant harm to the Earth Rhino.


    The rocky armor had absorbed some of the damage, and combined with the Earth Rhino''s naturally tough and thick skin, which excelled in defense, it was naturally difficult to inflict substantial injuries.


    Almost simultaneously, the Lightning Leopard pounced fiercely. Stepping onto the Earth Rhino''s back and causing it to pause, it lunged straight for the Bloodline Fruit.


    With the Lightning Leopard''s speed, it was likely to reach the Bloodline Fruit first.


    Seeing the prized fruit about to slip away, the Earth Rhino was naturally quite enraged. Earth yellow energy rapidly converged, transforming into several millstone sized rocks that furiously smashed towards the Lightning Leopard.


    Although the Earth Rhino reacted quickly, its movements were still a fraction too slow, and the Lightning Leopard was about to devour the Bloodline Fruit.


    At the critical moment, several vines suddenly burst from the ground, ensnaring the Lightning Leopard''s limbs with lightning speed.


    These vines were from one of the low tier warrior grade spirit beasts.


    Due to the chaotic battle, within just two to three minutes, more than half of the lower tier warrior grade Spirit Beast had fallen, and the remaining ones posed little threat. Among the Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast, only the Lightning Leopard, Earth Rhino, Frost Centipede, and Bird of Paradise remained.


    Due to the difference in their levels, the low tier warrior grade spirit beast vines were not tough enough to restrain the Lightning Leopard, which could easily break free. However, timing was crucial, especially since the Lightning Leopard had become the focus of concentrated attacks.


    Sorry for late update

 Chapter 146 - 146 Got The Bloodline Fruit

    Thus, by the time the Lightning Leopard broke free from the vines, several millstone sized rocks had already smashed into it head on.


    Awooo~


    With a heart wrenching scream, the Lightning Leopard was heavily struck down to the ground.


    Before the Lightning Leopard could stand up again, the onslaught from the Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede arrived, completely engulfing it.


    By the time the dazzling lights faded, the Lightning Leopard lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.


    The Lightning Leopard was dead!


    After finishing off the Lightning Leopard, the Earth Rhino once again moved towards the Bloodline Fruit.


    "Red, go!" At this crucial moment, Blaze Regret decided to reveal his final strategy. Under his command, Red sprinted gracefully towards the Bloodline Fruit as well.


    Blaze Regret was left with no choice. He had hoped for the Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast to continue fighting among themselves, but the Bloodline Fruit''s effective time was limited. Prolonging the battle would inevitably weaken its efficacy.


    Suddenly, the ground beneath the Earth Rhino cracked, and the next moment, the Earth Rhino felt the ground give way beneath its feet, causing it to fall into a several meter deep pit.


    As it turned out, a mid level tier warrior grade Drill Rat was hidding all along and had long prepared for this moment, waiting beneath the willow tree. The moment Earth Rhino near the Bloodline fruit again, it triggered the trap instantly.


    At this moment, the mid tier warrior grade Drill Rat emerged from underground, its limbs glowing bright yellow, continuously channeling energy into the earth. The mid tier warrior grade Drill Rat is one of the temporary contract spirit beast that Master Magi ask to contract when their search the battlefield, accidently meet it and Master Magi use it power to make it submit.


    In just an instant, the surrounding ground transformed, rapidly turning into sand and slowly rotating, trapping the Earth Rhino and several lower tier warrior grade Spirit Beast within the quicksand.


    Within the spinning quicksand, the Earth Rhino''s movements were visibly hindered. It was too heavy and too clumsy; even with strenuous struggles, it couldn''t break free from the quicksand''s grip in a short time.


    Meanwhile, Red stepped on the Earth Rhino''s head and used the momentum to leap towards the Bloodline Fruit, ready to bite it.


    The Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede naturally did not want Red to succeed, so they jointly launched a close range assault on Red.


    From the sky, the Bird of Paradise dove down, its sharp beak gleaming with a cold light, its body spinning violently as it aimed to peck at Red''s waist.


    On the other side, the Frost Centipede flapped its wings and opened its menacing jaws, revealing fangs that emitted a chilling glow, ready to bite Red from the other side.


    At this critical moment, a sun flame wall appeared right and left Red''s side, as if protect Red from enemy attack.


    Both the Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede were somewhat hindered by the sun flame wall during their attacks, causing a noticeable decrease in their force. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, they were still Mid tier warrior grade Spirit Beast. Despite Blaze Regret''s use his spirit technique as hard as he can, the sun flame wall could only moderately mitigate their offensive due to the level difference.


    Even so, thanks to the sun flame wall, Red did not suffer severe injuries from their combined assault, only sustaining moderate wounds.


    Without any hesitation, Red opened its mouth wide and bit off the Bloodline Fruit from the branch. Its throat visibly moved as it swallowed the fruit.


    The moment it swallowed, the Bloodline Fruit''s effects rapidly kicked in. Red''s body began to swell quickly, with muscles bulging beneath its fur, as if worms were wriggling continuously underneath.


    The excruciating pain that penetrated to its bones caused Red''s eyes to fill with bloodshot lines. The energy of the Bloodline Fruit was too violent, forcing Red to lie weakly on the ground, temporarily losing its ability to move.


    Alright, Red was now out of energy!


    Chirp~ Squeak~


    After Red swallowed the Bloodline Fruit, the Bird of Paradise and the Frost Centipede became infuriated and launched another fierce assault on Red.


    Before Red could fully digest the Bloodline Fruit''s energy, its flesh and blood were naturally infused with the fruit''s power. The attackers could still eat Red''s flesh, which, while less effective than the fruit itself, was better than nothing.


    Moreover, Red had snatched the fruit from under their noses, making it a prime target for their wrath.


    Unfortunately, before their attacks could land, Red transformed into a streak of purple light, rapidly flying towards Blaze Regret and disappearing the moment it made contact with him.


    It turned out that Blaze Regret had been prepared to recall Red all along.


    "Thunder Zebra, Lightning Strike!" As soon as Red was recalled, Blaze Regret issued another attack command.


    Under Blaze Regret''s direction, the horns of the five Thunder Zebras crackled with intense electricity, which then transformed into five golden bolts of lightning, all shooting towards the Bird of Paradise.


    Compared to the Frost Centipede, the Bird of Paradise posed a greater threat.


    The Bird of Paradise reacted swiftly. Instead of hastily dodging, it opened its mouth and shot out a bright beam of light. Its head began to swivel, causing the beam to move and collide successively with the five bolts of lightning.


    Boom boom boom~


    Amidst the continuous thunderous sounds, the light beam eventually neutralized the five bolts of lightning.


    "Thunder Zebras, charge!" Recognizing the unfavorable situation, Blaze Regret had no intention of engaging in a direct confrontation and immediately opted for a strategic retreat.


    As they retreated, the Drill Rat leapt up and landed on the back of one of the Thunder Zebras.


    Clop clop~


    The five Thunder Zebras quickly turned around, their hooves pounding the ground as they swiftly galloped out of the valley.


    Although there were only five Thunder Zebras, their collective charge was so powerful that unless they faced a heavy weight mid tier warrior grade Spirit beast like an Earth Rhino, most would have to avoid them.

 Chapter 147 - 147 The Poor Frost Centipede

    Some wild Spirit beasts, quick to sense danger, swiftly dodged out of the way. Those foolish enough to resist were all sent flying, and the unlucky ones were trampled to death.


    "The Spirit beast that consumed the Bloodline Fruit will only have five minutes to transform. I hope Red will succeed!" During his escape, Blaze Regret thought to himself. He could only leave Red''s fate to chance.


    The most critical issue now was how to shake off the pursuing wild Spirit beasts.


    After Red was recalled by Blaze Regret, the Paradise Bird, Frost Centipede, and Earth Rhino all became extremely enraged. United by a common enemy, they all chased after Blaze Regret.


    Once out of the quicksand area, the Earth Rhino, with its heavy steps, charged headfirst towards Blaze Regret.


    Not far away, the slender body of the Frost Centipede landed on the ground. Its dozen blade like legs moved quickly, slithering like a snake. Due to its insufficiently sturdy wings, its flying speed was slower than its crawling speed.


    Chirp¡ª


    In the sky, the Paradise Bird let out a resonant cry, flapping its enormous snow white wings. Like an arrow released from a bowstring, it quickly closed the distance between itself and Blaze Regret.


    In terms of speed, the Paradise Bird was the fastest, followed by the Frost Centipede, while the cumbersome Earth Rhino naturally lagged behind.


    However, due to its higher rank, the Earth Rhino was not much slower than the Thunder Zebras, still able to keep a close chase and not be quickly shaken off.


    As the Paradise Bird rapidly closed the distance with Blaze Regret, it was about to enter its long range attack range.


    "All Thunder Zebras, Volt Charge!" Like Thunder Strike, Volt Charge was a skill the Thunder Zebras excelled at.


    Both were acceleration skills, but unlike the Wind Skill, Volt Charge only lasted a few seconds and could deal damage to enemies.


    On the ground, the five Thunder Zebras moved in unison, golden currents quickly enveloping their bodies. This negated wind resistance and rapidly increased their burst speed.


    Due to the contract, these currents did not harm Blaze Regret and the Drill Rat, causing at most a tingly sensation.


    In the next moment, the speed of the five Thunder Zebras clearly ramped up, and they quickly charged towards the valley entrance.


    In a few seconds, the currents on the five Thunder Zebras'' bodies dissipated. The duration of Volt Charge was limited, but within that time, they had almost reached the valley entrance.


    Since the valley entrance was narrow, under Blaze Regret''s command, the five Thunder Zebras lined up in single file, charging towards the entrance one after another.


    In the sky, the Paradise Bird seized the opportunity to close the distance and immediately launched a long range attack.


    The Paradise Bird''s body glowed brightly, a blinding light converging to form a giant flaming sword about ten feet long, slashing diagonally down towards Blaze Regret.


    "Drill Rat, Earth Wave!" Blaze Regret, always wary of the Paradise Bird, reacted immediately after its attack.


    On the back of another Thunder Zebra, the Drill Rat clutched the mane while opening its mouth. Countless earth colored light spots gathered, transforming into a torrent of earth element energy, which collided with the flaming sword in the blink of an eye.


    Unfortunately, even though the Drill Rat gave its all, the energy torrent was still suppressed by the light sword, which continued to slash downward.


    Unlike the Drill Rat, which just a early mid tier warrior grade Spirit beast, the Paradise Bird surpassed it in both rank and species. Suppressing the Drill Rat was an easy task for the Paradise Bird.


    However, thanks to the resistance from the Earth Wave, the speed at which the flaming giant sword descended was significantly reduced. The Thunder Zebras, always moving at high speed, eventually caused the flaming giant sword to miss and strike the ground hard.


    Boom¡ª


    With a resounding noise, dirt flew in all directions, leaving a several meter long crack in the ground. At this moment, the five Thunder Zebras began passing through the valley entrance.


    "Follow my command, jump!" When they first entered the valley, Blaze Regret had set up some traps.


    Under Blaze Regret''s direction, the five Thunder Zebras began to jump at the same spot. After running a few meters, they jumped again, repeating the process.


    Soon, the five Thunder Zebras had rushed out of the valley entrance.


    During this process, the Drill Rat continuously used long range skills, not giving the Paradise Bird a chance to launch another attack.


    However, once they left the valley entrance, the Paradise Bird caught up once more. This time, Blaze Regret decided not to flee but to fight while retreating.


    Even though the Paradise Bird was stronger, it couldn''t gain an advantage against the combined efforts of the Drill Rat, and the five Thunder Zebras. In fact, it ended up in a somewhat embarrassing situation.


    Yet, under the Paradise Bird''s persistent harassment, Blaze Regret''s escape speed was noticeably affected. Soon, the Frost Centipede also reached the valley entrance. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Bang¡ª


    The Frost Centipede continued forward and inevitably stepped into a trap, tumbling into a several meter deep pit.


    Before the Frost Centipede could climb out, the Earth Rhino, following closely behind, failed to stop in time and also fell heavily into the pit.


    The Frost Centipede felt an impending darkness. Seeing the Earth Rhino, it instinctively tried to dodge, but the trap was small, and there wasn''t enough room for the massive Earth Rhino.


    Bang¡ª


    Accompanied by a dull thud, the Frost Centipede was crushed to the ground by the Earth Rhino. It felt pain in every part of its body. Angrily and instinctively, it lifted its head and bit the Earth Rhino''s rear, injecting venom in the process.


    Suddenly stung by the Frost Centipede, the Earth Rhino was infuriated. It immediately stood up on its hind legs, with a dense, earthy yellow energy emanating from its forelimbs, and stomped down forcefully.


    Boom¡ª

 Chapter 148 - 148 Transformation Complete 1(Bonus)

    In the narrow trap, the Frost Centipede had no way to dodge. Additionally, its tail was pinned down by the Earth Rhino, preventing it from leveraging its advantages. The Earth Rhino''s mighty stomp struck the vital spot on the Frost Centipede''s head.


    Known for its brute strength and enormous weight, the Earth Rhino''s stomp was devastating. The Frost Centipede''s head was instantly crushed, splattering blue and green fluids everywhere, much like a watermelon bursting.

    Simultaneously, the surrounding ground shook violently, revealing the remaining traps.


    After ''instant. killing'' the Frost Centipede, the Earth Rhino shook its head vigorously and climbed out of the trap. Spotting the exposed traps ahead, it began to leap over them.


    Not long after, due to the persistent harassment by the Paradise Bird, Blaze Regret''s speed slowed significantly, allowing the Earth Rhino to catch up quickly.


    "Damn it!" Blaze Regret thought, realizing the dire situation. He could barely contend with just the Paradise Bird, but with the addition of the Earth Rhino, the odds of survival were slim.


    Blaze Regret''s mind raced, desperately searching for a way to escape. However, human abilities have their limits, and he couldn''t come up with a solution in time.


    Under their relentless assault, Blaze Regret faced grave danger. During an attempted dodge, he fell off the horse, feeling dizzy and disoriented. His internal organs were severely shaken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, almost losing his ability to move.


    Chirp~


    Compared to the clumsy Earth Rhino, the Paradise Bird was noticeably faster. Seizing the opportunity, it swooped down from the sky, aiming its sharp beak at Blaze Regret''s head.


    If the Paradise Bird struck Blaze Regret head on, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    In a moment of crisis, Drill Rat disregarded it own safety and resolutely stood in front of Blaze Regret.


    In a flash, the Paradise Bird appeared above Blaze Regret. To protect Blaze Regret, Drill Rat made no evasive actions, about to be struck head on by the Paradise Bird.


    Given their difference in power, Drill Rat would likely be killed instantly.


    "How dare you!" Blaze Regret''s eyes were filled with intense anger. His expression was ferocious as he struggled to rise from the ground, despite the severe pain in his internal organs, the unbearable pain in his back, and his dislocated left hand, driven by sheer willpower.


    Roar~


    At the critical moment, Blaze Regret let out a low roar and lunged towards Drill Rat with all his remaining strength, attempting to push it away. Even thought it just a temporary contract. Blaze Regret did''n want any of his spirit beast to die.


    At the same time, witnessing the scene before it, a human like emotion appeared in the Paradise Bird''s blood red eyes. It was called the Paradise Bird not only because of its appearance and healing abilities but also because of its gentle nature.


    The Paradise Bird''s temperament was extremely mild. Not only would it not actively attack humans or Spirit beast, but it would also often provide healing to injured humans or Spirit beast it encountered.


    However, for the Spirit beast, the Bloodline Fruit was incredibly important. After Red consumed it, the Paradise Bird was almost consumed by rage, which is why it pursued Blaze Regret.


    Perhaps moved by something, the Paradise Bird turned its head voluntarily, narrowly avoiding both Drill Rat and Blaze Regret with its sharp beak.


    Even so, Blaze Regret was still struck head on by the Paradise Bird and sent flying. After a short distance, he landed awkwardly in the bushes.


    Blaze Regret felt pain all over his body, and his head was spinning, making him feel like he could faint at any moment. But he had to stay conscious; otherwise, he would lose any chance of turning the tide in his favor.


    To stay awake, Blaze Regret bit his tongue hard. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his foggy mind cleared considerably.


    At that moment, a shadow loomed over Blaze Regret. The Paradise Bird stood before him, looking down at the human, radiating light, seemingly unwilling to let him go.


    On the other side, the Earth Rhino rampaged through the area. Despite the combined efforts of the five Thunder Zebras, they couldn''t stop it.


    Under the Paradise Bird''s focus, a massive sword of light and flame began to form.


    If Blaze Regret were struck by this sword, his fate would be dire.


    At this critical moment, Blaze Regret suddenly received a piece of information. A smile appeared in his eyes, and without hesitation, he quickly mouthed some words.


    In an instant, a large Flame hexagram appeared.


    Roar~


    Accompanied by a fearsome roar, a gust of fierce wind swept through the surroundings, rustling the branches and leaves. Countless leaves fell to the ground.


    In the blink of an eye, Red appeared before Blaze Regret. Her enormous form exuded a commanding presence, filled with an intimidating aura.


    Compared to before, Red''s size had significantly increased, with its fur becoming even thicker and its body length reaching over three meters.


    Additionally, its tail were much longer than before, it also grow another tail to become two tail, each at least ten centimeters long. Even with its mouth closed, giving it an extremely menacing appearance.


    Under the transformation of the Bloodline Fruit, Red successfully evolved. The most significant change was its species, evolving from a Blue Flame Demon Cat to a Two tail Demon Fire Cat, achieving a massive leap in its racial classification.


    These numerous changes had drastically enhanced Red''s strength, resulting in a significant power boost.


    As Red roared angrily, the Paradise Bird, like a startled bird, trembled uncontrollably. However, it still controlled the fiery greatsword, aiming it at Blaze Regret.


    Without any hesitation, Red leaped high into the air, its mouth wide open. Its two tail clamped onto the fiery greatsword. Despite the Paradise Bird''s best efforts to control it, the sword trembled violently but couldn''t break free.


    Snap~


    In an instant, the sound of shattering glass echoed as the fiery greatsword was snap into two under the immense biting force. With its energy structure destroyed, the broken sword exploded, enveloping everything within a few meters.

    When the light faded, Blaze Regret and Red were protected by a Sun Flame wall, completely unharmed.


    Seeing this, the Paradise Bird was terrified and extremely uneasy. It spread its wings, attempting to take flight.


    Once in the sky, the Paradise Bird could attack or escape, utilizing its aerial advantage to bombard Red from above.


    "Red, Flame Claw!" At that moment, Red leapt up, extending her sharp claws from her paw pads and slashing fiercely at the Paradise Bird.


    Boom~ Crack~


    With enormous force, the Paradise Bird was sent flying like a white blur, crashing into a massive tree that required several people to encircle. It stuck to the tree like a painting on a wall, then slowly slid down.


    Knocking the bird down like hanging a painting!


    With just one strike, the Paradise Bird''s bones shattered, and its elegant appearance was reduced to a pitiful state, far from its former grandeur.


    In the next moment, under the terrified gaze of the Paradise Bird, Red leapt high, her mouth wide open, revealing it sharp fangs aimed at the bird''s slender neck.


    Suddenly, as if remembering something, Blaze Regret shouted loudly, "Red, spare the bird!"


    At Blaze Regret''s command, Red halted her attack just in time, Red white fangs stopping right at the Paradise Bird''s slender neck.


    The Paradise Bird was extremely frightened. In that instant, it felt the breath of death. If not for Blaze Regret''s timely intervention, it would have certainly lost its life!


    Without needing Blaze Regret''s warning, the Paradise Bird had no choice but to lie on the ground and accept its fate of enslavement in order to save its life.


    After Red defeated the Paradise Bird, the nearby Earth Rhino sensed something was wrong. It immediately broke free from the entanglements of the five Thunder Zebra and fled without looking back.


    "Red, take it down!" Unlike the Paradise Bird, the Earth Rhino was of lower quality, and Blaze Regret had no interest in it.


    Moreover, after being relentlessly hunted, he and his Spirit beasts needed an outlet for their anger, and the Earth Rhino was the perfect target.


    Under Blaze Regret''s command, Red quickly charged forward. Compared to before its bloodline evolution, its speed had greatly increased, far surpassing the clumsy Earth Rhino.


    While Red was in pursuit, Blaze Regret called back the Drill Mouse and three Thunder Zebras to surround the Paradise Bird. Any sign of resistance from the Paradise Bird would result in a fatal blow.


    During the recent battle, two of the Thunder Zebras had been severely injured while trying to contain the Earth Rhino. They were now lying on the ground, unable to move. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Within a few breaths, Red caught up with the Earth Rhino. Its claws, enveloped in blue flame, struck with a powerful flame Claw.


    Sensing the danger from behind, the Earth Rhino''s body immediately shimmered with a bright yellow light, forming a layer of rocky armor that encased it completely.


    Boom¡ª


    A dull sound echoed as Red''s claws struck the rocky armor. Countless rock fragments flew in all directions. After a brief pause, the flame Claw easily broke through the rocky armor''s defense and landed heavily on the Earth Rhino''s back.


    Despite its tough hide, the Earth Rhino was left with several deep gashes, and blood spurted out in torrents.


    The Earth Rhino did not look back; instead, it ran even faster. The rocky armor had absorbed most of the blow, significantly reducing the damage inflicted by flame Claw.


    Roar¡ª


    Red let out a ferocious roar. spreading its paws. On one paw, gathering countless fire attribute energies, which transformed into a fire spike Ring several feet long, shooting towards the Earth Rhino.


    The fire spike ring moved extremely fast, turning into a cyan streak. The Earth Rhino, focused solely on escaping, had no time to react and was hit by the fire spike ring.


    Crack¡ª


    The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh echoed. The wind blade precisely struck the existing wound, deepening it. Blood spurted out, revealing a gash so deep that bone was visible.


    Moo¡ª


    This time, the Earth Rhino could no longer hold back and let out a miserable scream. Its legs gave way, and it collapsed heavily to the ground.


    However, the Earth Rhino was known for its tough hide and enduring stamina. It had not lost its fighting ability and struggled to get back up.


    Unfortunately, Red had no intention of letting it go. In the Earth Rhino''s terrified gaze, Red wrapped its forelimbs around the Earth Rhino''s head. Its mouth opened wide, revealing it sharp fangs, ready to pierce the Earth Rhino''s neck.


    The Earth Rhino struggled desperately, trying to shake Red off, but it was already at the end of its strength and could not succeed.


    In the next moment, the sharp fangs easily tore through the Earth Rhino''s proud defense, deeply piercing its neck and severing its carotid artery in an instant.


    Blood spurted out in torrents, and the Earth Rhino could no longer endure. Its limbs twitched violently a few times before it lay still, lifeless.


    Seeing the tragic fate of the Earth Rhino, the Paradise Bird seemed to empathize deeply. It no longer thought of escaping; instead, it quickly closed its eyes and lay on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.


    Soon, after eating a healing pill, Blaze Regret barely regained the ability to move. He immediately embraced Drill Rat tightly.


    "Drill Rat, you mustn''t do this again!" Blaze Regret''s face was stern, but his heart was filled with lingering fear. Eventhought the Drill Rat just a temporary contarct, it also count as his spirit beast. If Red hadn''t evolved in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.


    At the same time, his heart surged like a turbulent sea, eventually transforming into a mighty wave, a deep yearning to become even stronger!


    "I don''t want you to get hurt!"


    Drill Rat''s eyes were stubborn. It straightforward and pure nature left no room for deception or lies.


    After a long standoff with Red, realizing he couldn''t convince it, Blaze Regret had no choice but to give up and turned to the Paradise Bird.

    "The Paradise Bird seems to be dead, and everyone is hungry. We might as well roast it and see if its meat is tasty," Blaze Regret said, kicking the Paradise Bird. Seeing it continue to play dead, he issued a threat.


    Under Blaze Regret''s threat, the Paradise Bird had no choice but to open its eyes, showing a pitiful expression that seemed to say, "I''m still alive, don''t roast me."


    "Paradise Bird, you should feel fortunate for your actions back then. If anything had happened to Drill Rat, you would already be a dead bird!" Blaze Regret said, looking down at the Paradise Bird. "If you want to live, open your mind and establish a temporary contract with me!"


    From its characteristics, the Paradise Bird was an all rounder Spirit Beast, capable of healing, support, attack, and defense. Additionally, it could serve as a flying mount.


    The Paradise Bird hesitated. On one side was death, and on the other was freedom. This made it indecisive, unable to make a decision quickly.


    Of course, this also had to do with Blaze Regret''s low rank as a spirit master.


    Seeing the Paradise Bird''s hesitation, Blaze Regret continued to gently persuade it, "Don''t worry. As long as you sign a contract with me, I will do my best to help you advance to a higher rank, even to an elite level Spirit Beast. This is my promise!"


    The elite level is the next stage after the high rank Spirit Beast.


    Due to the difference in rank, for Blaze Regret to contract with a mid level Spirit beast, the other party must willingly open its mind. Otherwise, no matter how many temporary contracts he attempts, it would be futile.


    Moreover, given the Paradise Bird''s quality, it wouldn''t be difficult to become an high rank Spirit Beast with just a little resource investment. There is even a chance it could reach elite level.


    After Blaze Regret made his promise, the Paradise Bird no longer hesitated and began to open its mind, ceasing its resistance.


    Soon, a small temporary contract mark was imprinted on the Paradise Bird''s head.


    Spirit Beast attributes are generally divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, thunder, light, and dark. Of course, there are also some fairies with special attributes, but those are very rare.


    The five elemental attributes mutually generate and counteract each other. Among the other five attributes, wind counters ice, ice counters thunder, and thunder counters wind, forming a complete cycle. As for the light and dark attributes, they mutually restrain each other.


    After completing the contract, the Paradise Bird barely managed to stand up. Due to being hit by Red''s flame Claw, it was in a weakened state and needed some time to recover. Eventually, Blaze Regret placed it into the Spirit realms stone.


    "Thunder Zebras, you are free now!"


    After resting for a while, Blaze Regret kept his promise and voluntarily canceled the temporary contracts with the five Thunder Zebras. The marks on their heads quickly faded and disappeared in the blink of an eye.


    Neigh¡ª


    The five Thunder Zebras turned to Blaze Regret, showing grateful expressions. In a sense, Blaze Regret had saved their lives.


    In the next moment, the sound of hooves trampling the ground echoed. The five Thunder Zebras quickly returned to the valley together; that was their home!


    Just went Blaze Regret want to cancel the temporary contract with Drill Rat. The Drill Rat came infront Blaze Regret and show that it did''n want to cancel the contract. Blaze Regret welcome the Drill Rat into the team and put it into the spirit realms stone. When spirit beast contract using temporary contract, it did need to use portal and spirit master can not syncronise with it.

    "I''m almost out of materials for Black Flame Mud. It''s time to head back to the town."


    Gazing in the direction of Hildan Town, Blaze Regret smiled faintly.


    In Hildan Town, inside a shop.


    The store clerk responsible for trading goods stood with his mouth slightly open, staring at the four Spirit Realm Stones on the counter. His face was filled with shock.


    "Are all of these High warrior grade Spirit Beast Stone Mushroom Spirit beasts?" the clerk asked, dazed, after a while.


    Standing in front of the counter, Blaze Regret nodded indifferently.


    "One Stone Mushroom Spirit beast is about 120,000 gold coins, so four would be 480,000. This is such a large amount that I can''t make the decision. Please have a seat and wait for a moment while I get approval." The clerk''s eyes were filled with envy as he quickly picked up the four Spirit Realm Stones and walked to the back of the shop.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret nonchalantly sat down on a chair, showing no concern that the shop would cheat him out of the four Stone Mushroom Spirit beasts. Even if they did, he had ways to make them return everything.


    As Blaze Regret closed his eyes to rest, a shadowy figure suddenly walked over and stopped in front of him.


    Opening his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret saw a man with a somewhat sinister face appear before him.


    "Do you need something?" Blaze Regret''s voice was calm.


    "Are you the one who defeated Mad Bull a while ago? You don''t look that impressive," the man said, scrutinizing Blaze Regret with a faintly disdainful smile.


    Blaze Regret glanced at the man but had no intention of standing up. He continued to look at him with an indifferent gaze.


    A Sixth grade Spirit warrior was not weak among the spirit hunters in Hildan Town, but in front of Blaze Regret, he had no right to be arrogant.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s cold eyes, the man''s brow furrowed, and anger surged in his heart. Usually, those Fifth grade Spirit warrior would be courteous upon seeing him. How dare someone look at him with such an expression?


    "You"


    Just as the man was about to speak, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the shop: "The Hildan Arena has opened! It''s said that the winner will receive a large amount of rewards. Don''t miss out!"

 Chapter 151 - 151 Arena Open 2

    Hearing this, the man was slightly pleased. He gave Blaze Regret a cold look and said, "My name is Ben Jamin. You''ll be hearing this name often in the future. When you see me, it''s best to walk the other way. Otherwise, I don''t mind making you experience what Mad Bull went through again."


    As Ben Jamin''s words fell, he hurriedly walked out, as if the Hildan Arena had a great allure for him.


    "Hildan Arena," Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly.


    "Sir, the goods have been verified. Please hand me your gold coin card," the clerk said, coming out from the back of the shop and looking at Blaze Regret with a face full of envy.


    That was four hundred and fifty thousand gold coins. He couldn''t earn that much in a lifetime. Who knew what kind of incredible luck this young man had to capture such rare Stone Mushroom Spirit beasts, and four of them at that.


    "Excuse me, what is the Hildan Arena?" Blaze Regret took out a Qi Replenishing Pill from his void realms stone and discreetly handed it to the clerk, asking with a smile.


    Feeling the smooth touch in his palm, the clerk''s face instantly lit up with joy. Long accustomed to dealing with goods, he could roughly guess what it was. He quickly cleared his throat to cover his excitement.


    "The Hildan Arena is organized by the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group and is held once a month. All participants can battle in the arena, and the winner can receive the gold coins bet by the audience. Winning multiple times can also earn rewards from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group," the clerk explained enthusiastically, having received a benefit from Blaze Regret.


    "Are there no rules?" Blaze Regret nodded and continued to ask.


    "There are rules. The rank difference between challengers cannot exceed three levels, or the challenge is deemed invalid. And the battles must be one on one," the clerk quickly explained.


    Blaze Regret pondered for a moment and then smiled faintly. It sounded pretty good. Constantly fighting wild spirit beasts had limited benefits. This Hildan Arena seemed quite suitable for him.


    Thanking the clerk, Blaze Regret walked out of the shop. Numerous figures passed in front of him, all heading in the same direction. It was obvious that they were going to the Hildan Arena.


    Stuffing a piece of dried meat into Red''s mouth, Blaze Regret followed the crowd, walking slowly.


    The Hildan Arena was a semi enclosed venue with a large high platform in the center. Countless spirit hunters surrounded the platform, watching the two battling individuals with excitement. Their enthusiastic cheers echoed through the sky.


    Weaving through a few figures, Blaze Regret struggled to reach the front. A casual glance revealed a burly man sitting alone next to the high platform. His eyes narrowed slightly; this man should be someone from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.


    "Big brother, who is that?" Blaze Regret asked, poking a spirit hunter standing next to him, feigning ignorance.


    "You don''t even know him? Little brother, you must be new here. That man is none other than Mon Black, the famous Third Captain of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, a bona fide ninth tier spirit warrior!" The spirit hunter explained enthusiastically.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded slightly. As expected, someone capable of organizing such a large event wouldn''t be an ordinary person.


    "Bang!"


    A dull sound rang out as a giant wolf, its body engulfed in flames, suddenly fell from the platform and crashed heavily to the ground.


    "The winner, Ceh Lin."


    A voice devoid of any emotion followed.


    The speaker was a young man with a fairly handsome face, but the cold smile that occasionally appeared at the corners of his mouth completely ruined the impression.


    "Mo Star, the son of Mon Dark, the leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Little brother, if you see him in Hildan Town, it''s best to stay away from him. His temperament is unpredictable, and you never know when he might turn hostile," the spirit hunter next to him warned, clearly displeased with Mon Star.


    "Next, who will challenge?" Mon Star scanned the figures below the platform, speaking indifferently.


    "I will!"


    A clear voice rang out as a graceful figure, carried by a whirlwind, slowly landed on the high platform. Her bright eyes, filled with a hint of battle intent, gazed at Ceh Lin, who stood with his arms crossed.


    "Yun Suhaila?" Blaze Regret was somewhat surprised, but then quickly understood.


    As a spirit hunter, Yun Suhaila''s interest in such events was only natural. He just hadn''t expected to see her take the stage right after he arrived.


    "Hehe, so it''s Miss Yue from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. You''ve become even more beautiful in the past few days," Mon Star said, his eyes burning as he looked at Yun Suhaila. His gaze carried an unsettling scrutiny that would make any woman uncomfortable, as if he wanted to strip her with his eyes.


    "Let''s begin," Yun Suhaila said, wrinkling her delicate nose, clearly disgusted by Mon Star''s behavior.


    "Miss Yue, no need to rush. The audience hasn''t placed their bets yet," Mon Star replied with a careless smile.


    Immediately, a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group moved swiftly among the crowd. Many spirit hunters pulled out some pristine, round jade tokens from their pockets and placed them in the wooden box he carried. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In no time, the Hildan Arena became lively and bustling.


    "What are those white jade pieces?" Blaze Regret looked into the distance and curiously asked.


    "Those? They are something the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group came up with. You can exchange five hundred gold coins for one and use them to place bets," said the spirit hunter next to Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret nodded lightly upon hearing this.


    For spirit hunters without void realms stones, carrying a large amount of gold coins is extremely inconvenient, and using them for betting is even more impractical. It''s clear that the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group has put a lot of thought into making money from the Hildan Arena.

 Chapter 152 - 152 Arena Open 3

    "Can I use a gold coin card as collateral?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile when a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group approached with a wooden box.


    "Of course."


    The young man with a sharp face carrying the wooden box glanced at Blaze Regret and nonchalantly said, "However, we do not accept amounts less than five hundred, and you must bet the entire amount on the gold coin card."


    With a sigh of relief, Blaze Regret took out a gold coin card from the spatial stone and handed it to the young man: "Ten thousand gold coins, bet on that girl to win."


    Upon hearing this number, the surrounding spirit hunters widened their eyes slightly and looked at Blaze Regret. Ten thousand gold coins is no small amount, even for these men who risk their lives daily. Moreover, he was betting on the side with a low chance of winning!


    "You might want to reconsider. Ceh Lin is much stronger than Yun Anuar''s daughter!" The spirit hunter who had spoken to Blaze Regret earlier hurriedly tugged at his sleeve.


    Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile and looked towards the high platform. Ten thousand gold coins were not a significant amount for him.


    "Ceh Lin versus Yun Suhaila, the odds are three to one," Mon Star whispered to the young man with the sharp face, who then smiled satisfactorily and loudly announced.


    "Miss Yue, you should give up. With your strength, you cannot defeat me," Ceh Lin said with a faint smile as he gazed at Yun Suhaila. As a fourth tier spirit warrior, he naturally didn''t take Yun Suhaila''s third tier Wind Scythe Bird seriously.


    "Please instruct me," Yun Suhaila replied.


    Yun Suhaila didn''t waste any time. With a soft cry, her Wind Scythe Bird flashed into appearance, gently flapping its wings, and the pair of sharp wind scythes on its head instantly drew attention.


    "Then don''t blame me for being ruthless."


    The smile on Ceh Lin''s face gradually faded. Black mist erupted from his summoning array, and within that black fog, a sharp screech echoed throughout the arena.


    "Dark attribute," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time he had seen a living dark attribute spirit beast.


    As the black fog dispersed, a bat shaped spirit beast emerged, rapidly flapping its black wings, its body undulating, and a faint black mist swirling around its wings. S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Great Night Bat, a mid level warrior grade spirit beast, similar in rank to the Wind Scythe Bird, but with a higher tier," Blaze Regret''s thoughts raced. He was eager to know what trump card Yun Suhaila had to defeat Ceh Lin''s fourth tier Great Night Bat.


    "Wind Scythe Bird, Blue Blade Light!"


    At Yun Suhaila''s cry, the sharp scythes of the Wind Scythe Bird glowed blue. It circled once and then headed straight for the Great Night Bat.


    Seeing the rapidly approaching Wind Scythe Bird, the Great Night Bat turned its body, folded its wings, and dodged the deadly attack at the last possible moment.


    Its small, bean sized eyes narrowed slightly, and with a swish, the Great Night Bat spread its wings. Although they appeared soft, the wings became as hard as iron, gleaming with a metallic sheen.


    After a brief separation, the two spirit beasts clashed again. The bat wings collided with the wind scythes, producing blinding sparks and a clear, metallic clang that echoed through the sky.


    "The Wind Scythe Bird is being suppressed."


    Many spirit hunters shook their heads slightly. Yun Suhaila''s Wind Scythe Bird was clearly at a disadvantage. Although it hadn''t been injured yet, it was consistently being overpowered by the Great Night Bat. The blue glow on its sharp scythes was visibly dimming.


    "Snap!"


    After several collisions, the Great Night Bat finally seized an opportunity. Its vibrating right wing, sharp as a blade, sliced harshly across the body of the Wind Scythe Bird.


    With a piercing screech, the Wind Scythe Bird was sent flying backward, frantically flapping its wings. It barely managed to stop just before falling off the elevated platform.


    "It''s over," Ceh Lin said with a smug smile.


    The Great Night Bat flapped its wings vigorously again, its speed even more ferocious than before. Its outstretched dark wings seemed to cut through the air, leaving two long black trails behind.


    The Great Night Bat charged like a bolt of lightning, reaching the Wind Scythe Bird in an instant. It swung its right wing fiercely.


    But just then, the Wind Scythe Bird suddenly seemed to give up all resistance, spreading its wings wide and exposing its soft underbelly.


    Seeing this, Ceh Lin didn''t feel excited. Instead, his heart skipped a beat. Yun Suhaila wasn''t foolish; she wouldn''t take such a risk without having a plan to counter the consequences.


    Yun Suhaila''s lips curled into a slight smile, and her cold voice rang out suddenly, "Wind Scythe Bird, Wind Fragment Assault!"


    "Chirp!"


    The Wind Scythe Bird let out a soft cry. From the tips of its wings, sharp threads shot out rapidly, like a shower of petals from the sky, enveloping the Great Night Bat.


    Those transparent threads were almost tangible, each one capable of piercing through the body of a third tier spirit beast.


    "Swish!"


    Without any surprise, the Great Night Bat''s wings, after resisting a few threads, could no longer bear the assault. The dense threads penetrated through, leaving its wings riddled with holes, like tattered cloth.


    With its technique completed, the Wind Scythe Bird flashed forward. Its sharp scythes were now poised at the Great Night Bat''s neck, ready to decapitate it with just a slight movement.


    "You''ve lost," Yun Suhaila glanced at Ceh Lin and said calmly.


    Below the platform, Blaze Regret smiled slightly. So this was Yun Suhaila''s trump card, Wind Fragment Assault, an advanced warrior level spirit technique. Indeed, it had a fair chance of defeating the fourth tier Great Night Bat.


    "How could I lose? The one who lost is you!" Ceh Lin''s voice suddenly took on a sinister tone.

 Chapter 153 - 153 Arena Open 4

    Upon hearing this, Yun Suhaila''s delicate brows knitted slightly, and her charming face changed. The Great Night Bat, which had previously dared not move, seized the moment when Yun Suhaila was distracted. Its sharp claws spread open, and as black mist condensed, it transformed into a black seal that mercilessly struck the Wind Scythe Bird''s chest.


    Instantly, the Wind Scythe Bird, trailing a spray of blood, plummeted to the ground like a lightning bolt. A wave of dust and air surged out from where it landed.


    "Despicable!" cursed the spirit hunter beside Blaze Regret. If Yun Suhaila hadn''t held back earlier, Ceh Lin''s Great Night Bat would have already perished under the Wind Fragment Assault. Yet, instead of being grateful, he repaid kindness with treachery.


    With a sinister gaze, the Great Night Bat let out a screech and shot down like a meteor, its target being the immobile Wind Scythe Bird.


    Seeing the Great Night Bat descending to kill the Wind Scythe Bird, Yun Suhaila''s hands turned cold, darkness filled her vision, and her body uncontrollably fell backward.


    The Wind Scythe Bird had been with her since she first gained spiritual awareness; their bond was naturally beyond words.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just then, a black figure suddenly leaped onto the platform and gently caught Yun Suhaila. His gaze fixed intently on the plummeting Great Night Bat, his voice filled with icy determination.


    "Red, tear it apart!"


    "Red, tear it apart!"


    Blaze Regret''s cold voice echoed, and Red swiftly leaped from his shoulder, its body expanding. The aura of the Two tail Demon Flame Cat was unmistakable as it slashed its claws towards the Great Night Bat.


    "How dare you!"


    Just as the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was about to tear the Great Night Bat apart, Mon Black, sitting below the stage, flashed a cold look. A golden blade of light whistled from his side, slashing towards Red like lightning.


    Red''s figure flickered, and with a clang, the golden blade embedded itself into the stone platform.


    "Do you know where you are? How dare you cause trouble here!" Mon Black''s icy gaze fixed on Blaze Regret as he spoke in a chilling tone.


    "Are you alright?"


    Ignoring Mon Black''s sinister voice, Blaze Regret softly asked Yun Suhaila, who had turned pale.


    With a wave of her delicate hand, a summoning array appeared, retrieving the severely injured Wind Scythe Bird. Yun Suhaila''s pale cheeks showed a hint of bitterness.


    "Why are you here?" Yun Suhaila asked softly, feeling an inexplicable sense of reassurance from the boy''s unique scent.


    "I''ve been here all along. You did very well."


    Blaze Regret took out a Qi Recovery Pill from his spatial stone and gently placed it in Yun Suhaila''s palm, his voice soft: "Leave the rest to me."


    Yun Suhaila nodded slightly, a blush spreading across her cheeks.


    Seeing this, Mon Star''s eyes turned cold. In his heart, Yun Suhaila had long been his possession, and seeing her in someone else''s arms was intolerable. At this moment, Blaze Regret had already been sentenced to death in his mind.


    "Which spirit hunting group are you from? Do you understand the rules, or do you not regard our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group at all?" Mon Black''s anger surged as he saw Blaze Regret''s dismissive attitude. In Hildan Town, no one had ever dared to show him such disrespect.


    "Heh, Chief Mon is truly fair and just, not holding Ceh Li accountable but instead coming after me first. Admirable, truly admirable." Blaze Regret sneered. When Ceh Li broke the rules, this old man didn''t lift a finger. Now he was acting all official and businesslike, which was truly revolting.


    Mon Black''s face turned as cold as frost upon hearing this. His grip on the armrest of his chair tightened, leaving a deep imprint.


    "Which spirit hunting group are you from?" Mon Star''s eyes were dark as he looked at Blaze Regret, his voice filled with murderous intent.


    "Lone spirit master," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "Very well," Mon Star''s lips curled into a sinister smile. The moment he stepped off the stage, Blaze Regret''s death was assured!


    Witnessing this scene, the spirit hunters below looked at each other in confusion. Although some were displeased with the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group''s actions, the thought of Mon Dark being a spirit master made them promptly shut their mouths.


    "It seems that the Hildan Arena is just like this. Fairness and justice are nothing but jokes." Blaze Regret looked around and said with a leisurely smile.


    Seeing many spirit hunters whispering to each other, Mon Black grew anxious. If this matter was allowed to escalate, there would be no need to open the Hildan Arena in the future!


    Under normal circumstances, he would never have done such a thing. However, Ceh Li on the stage was his illegitimate son! Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    No one in Hildan Town knew this except him, so in a moment of urgency, he couldn''t help but intervene.


    "You actually attacked from behind, how despicable!" Ceh Li naturally knew what Mon Black was thinking, so he quickly looked at Blaze Regret and righteously changed the topic.


    "How thick is your skin?" Blaze Regret looked at Ceh Li, speechless.


    The Great Night Bat was still standing there, and it was even in the same posture as when it had ambushed the Wind Scythe Bird. This counter accusation was utterly devoid of intelligence.


    The spirit hunters below burst into laughter, their disdainful gazes gathering on Ceh Li.


    "If you hadn''t ambushed me, you wouldn''t even touch a hair on my Great Night Bat." Ceh Li''s face flushed red with anger as he looked at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with killing intent. It was all because of this guy that he was so humiliated!


    "Chief Mon, the Hildan Arena is open to everyone, right?" Blaze Regret turned to Mon Black and asked with a light smile.


    Seeing this, Mon Black nodded, but a sudden uneasy feeling rose in his heart.


    "Good."


    Blaze Regret nodded with a faint smile, but his expression quickly turned serious.

 Chapter 154 - 154 Join The Arena 1

    "Swish!"


    In a flash of purple light, Red darted out like lightning. But instead of heading towards the Great Night Bat, it aimed for the now panicked Ceh Li!


    "Great Night Bat, Shadow Curse Mark!" Ceh Li shouted frantically.


    The Great Night Bat, with its damaged wings, could no longer fly at high altitudes, but its speed across the stone platform was still incredibly fast. Black spiritual energy surged in its claws, forming a black curse mark the same one used earlier to ambush the Wind Scythe Bird. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Great Night Bat, clutching the curse mark in its claws, positioned itself in front of Ceh Li and launched the attack at Red.


    "No!" Mon Dark was utterly shocked. Ceh Li''s abilities were not sufficient to sense Red''s true power, but Mon Dark knew very well that Red had the capability to instantly kill the Great Night Bat!


    "Crack!"


    There was no trace of blue flames on Red''s sharp claws, yet with a light swipe, it instantly pierced through the Great Night Bat''s Shadow Curse Mark. The claws then penetrated its abdomen and struck Ceh Li''s chest.


    A low groan escaped from Ceh Li''s throat as the hastily formed Shadow Shield was effortlessly torn apart by Red''s claws. His body flew backward, crashing hard onto the ground. Blood, mixed with several teeth, spewed out from his mouth.


    "My spirit portal..."


    Feeling the emptiness of his spiritual power, Ceh Li roared at Blaze Regret, "What kind of grudge do I have with you that you would destroy my spirit portal!"


    Hearing his shout, the spirit hunters around the high platform were in an uproar. Their gazes toward Blaze Regret now carried a mix of fear and respect. Although Ceh Li''s strength wasn''t the highest, it was by no means weak. To cripple his spirit portal in an instant was no simple feat.


    Mon Black, seated in his chair, had a slight tremor in his hands. His eyes were filled with intense killing intent, which he struggled to suppress.


    "Then what grudge does Yun Suhaila have with you, that you wanted to kill her spirit beast?" Blaze Regret stood on the high platform, his eyes piercing as he stared down Ceh Li.


    "It''s just a beast. So what if it dies? How can that compare to my spirit portal!" Ceh Li bellowed, looking as if he wanted to tear Blaze Regret apart.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret shook his head slightly. If anything happened to Red or the Ice Control Irenix, he would undoubtedly pursue revenge with all his might, as he valued their lives more than his own.


    "I do not feel the slightest remorse for crippling your spirit portal because you are unworthy of being a spirit master."


    Blaze Regret''s cold voice echoed across the platform, rendering the atmosphere silent.


    Ceh Li''s face turned ashen upon hearing Blaze Regret''s words. From this moment on, he was nothing but a cripple.


    Yun Suhaila''s eyes flickered as she gazed at the tall, slender figure on the platform, a ripple spreading in her heart.


    "I''m really sorry, I didn''t give you time to place your bet before taking him down." Blaze Regret glanced at Mon Star with a hint of a smile.


    "It''s fine, there''s still a second match." Mon Star was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, a smile filled with intense killing intent.


    He originally thought that this kid would step down after this match. Unexpectedly, he was this foolish. Doesn''t he know that this Hildan Arena is run by the Draconic Hunting Spirit Group?


    On this Hildan Arena, as long as Mon Star wanted, there were countless ways to kill the person on stage.


    "Let''s begin then." Mon Star grinned, his gaze sharp as a knife.


    "No rush. This is my first time at the Hildan Arena. What are the rewards for consecutive wins?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile. He was quite interested in the treasures of the Hildan Arena.


    "Brother Blaze, you seem a bit too confident in yourself." A trace of contempt flashed in Mon Star''s eyes. Did he really think he could win consecutively without measuring his own weight?


    "Winning one match earns you ten thousand gold coins, two matches twenty thousand, three matches thirty thousand, and so on. Besides gold coins, there are also physical rewards. After seven consecutive wins, the victor can choose a spirit crystal that matches their attribute. After ten consecutive wins, they can choose an attack type spirit technique.


    Of course, due to limited resources, only fire, ice, and wood attributes are available."


    Even though Mon Star looked down on Blaze Regret, he still patiently explained.


    "A spirit technique, huh." Blaze Regret''s interest was piqued. Gold coins and spirit crystals no longer interested him, but spirit techniques were extremely rare. There was no place in this small town where spirit techniques were sold.


    "Alright, let''s start." Blaze Regret nodded at Mon Star with a smile.


    "I''ll go!"


    As soon as Blaze Regret''s voice fell, a figure suddenly leaped onto the high platform with a faint icy aura, staring at Blaze Regret with a playful look.


    This person was none other than Ben Jamin, whom Blaze Regret had encountered at a shop.


    "A sixth tier warrior grade spirit master," Mon Star smiled sinisterly. Even if Ben Jamin were to lose to Blaze Regret, the latter would expend a significant amount of spiritual energy. Defeat was just a matter of time. With a few tricks, Blaze Regret would meet a miserable end.


    After placing their bets, the odds for Blaze Regret and Ben Jamin turned out to be even. Fire based spirit beasts had a strong advantage over snow based ones, so not everyone favored Ben Jamin.


    "You''re actually on par with me," Ben Jamin frowned, clearly displeased with the result. Having the same odds as Blaze Regret felt like a huge insult to him.


    "Do you think you''re that strong?" Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh.


    "At least in front of me, you don''t have the right to jump around," Ben Jamin said arrogantly, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret. In front of him, a pure white summoning array rapidly formed, slowly outlining a snow white spirit beast that floated out.

 Chapter 155 - 155 Join The Arena 2

    "A mid tier warrior grade spirit beast, Frost Pearl Ping," Blaze Regret blinked in surprise.


    Frost Pearl Ping floated in the air, surrounded by several white snowballs that slowly rotated, making it seem as if tiny snowflakes were drifting around the high platform.


    "Prepare to die!"


    Ben Jamin''s sinister voice echoed, and the drifting snowflakes on the high platform rapidly solidified. In the blink of an eye, several palmaasized snowflakes formed around Frost Pearl Ping, their edges emitting a sharp and icy aura, looking quite beautiful.


    As Frost Pearl Ping''s body trembled, those snowflakes shot out suddenly, mixed with a faint snow mist, rushing toward Red.


    "All flash and no substance, one move is all it takes."


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly. Red immediately darted forward, its claws wrapped in blue flames slicing through the snowflakes like a hot knife through butter. The cut surfaces were smooth as mirrors. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Impossible!" Ben Jamin''s pupils contracted. The ice crystal snowflakes were Frost Pearl Ping''s most powerful attack technique, yet they shattered completely without causing any damage to Red.


    In the moment of Ben Jamin''s shock, Red had already reached Frost Pearl Ping. The purple flames on its claws dissipated, and it lightly pressed its paw against Frost Pearl Ping.


    "Smack!"


    Instantly, Frost Pearl Ping was hurled off the high platform as if struck by a heavy object, skidding across the ground and leaving a long trail of snowflakes before finally coming to a stop.


    Instant kill!


    "The first round." Blaze Regret''s pitch black eyes remained calm, as if defeating Ben Jamin''s Frost Pearl Ping was a trivial matter to him.


    Ben Jamin stood dumbfounded on the high platform, unable to recover for a long time. Just half an hour ago, he had warned Blaze Regret with an air of superiority, advising him to take a detour whenever they crossed paths in the future. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he had been decisively defeated.


    This stark contrast was hard for him to accept.


    The battle on the platform ended so quickly that the spirit hunters below were momentarily stunned. Those who had bet on Blaze Regret winning were visibly excited, while those who had lost their bets wore expressions of dejection, cursing Ben Jamin a thousand times in their hearts.


    "The next round." Mon Star frowned, not expecting Ben Jamin to be so useless that he couldn''t even withstand a single move.


    Ben Jamin walk slowly down the platform, retrieving Frost Pearl Ping into his spirit portal. He knew he could no longer stay in Hildan Town, as he doubted Blaze Regret would be magnanimous enough to let him off.


    Of course, what Ben Jamin didn''t know was that Blaze Regret had never regarded him as important from the start. Even now, Ben Jamin meant no more to Blaze Regret than a passerby.


    The next challenger was a sixth tier rock type spirit master. However, to everyone''s astonishment, his spirit beast also failed to withstand a single move and was blasted off the platform by Red.


    "Next."


    Mon Star''s face grew darker. The following rounds went the same way, and until the fifth round ended, Red won with just one swipe of its claw each time.


    "Is this guy a monster?"


    The spirit hunter who had chatted with Blaze Regret earlier felt a chill in his limbs, realizing that the person standing next to him all this time was such a terrifying figure.


    "It''s the sixth round now, Vice Captain Mon Star. Could you show the spirit crystal?" Blaze Regret smiled, as if worried Mon Star might renege on their agreement.


    "Of course." Mon Star suppressed his anger, taking out a fire type spirit crystal from his Void Realms stone and placing it on a stone pillar at the side of the high platform. If Blaze Regret won, the crystal would belong to him. If he lost, Mon Star would take it back.


    "Six consecutive wins. Didn''t someone achieve that in the Hildan Arena before?" someone whispered.


    "A streak of seven wins is already the record at Hildan Arena. I wonder if this young man will break it," someone expressed interest in the potential new record.


    "What are you thinking? The previous challengers were only sixth tier warrior grade spirit masters. Their spirit beasts were merely of the middle warrior grade. Up next, there will be even more powerful sixth tier warrior grade spirit masters stepping in," a spirit hunter scoffed with a shake of his head.


    "Snap!"


    However, the only response to his words was a crisp sound. The high level warrior grade spirit beast of the sixth tier warrior spirit master on the platform was sent flying with a single tail strike from Red, ending up sitting dumbfounded on the ground.


    "Wow!"


    After a moment of silence, the entire Hildan Arena erupted in a cacophony of astonished exclamations.


    Standing on the high platform, Blaze Regret gave a faint smile. He opened his palm, and a powerful suction force surged out, pulling the spirit crystal placed on the stone pillar into his hand with a snap.


    "Thank you for your gift, Deputy Leader Mon Star," Blaze Regret said with a smile, bowing slightly to Mon Star.


    Mon Star''s expression remained unchanged, trying his best to maintain his composure, but the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth betrayed his murderous intent.


    Is this kid a monster? He has fought six matches without showing any signs of fatigue. If it were an ordinary person, their spiritual power would have been exhausted by now.


    Staring at Blaze Regret with a sinister look, Mon Black, who was standing below the platform, whispered something to a nearby member of the Spirit Hunting Regiment. The latter nodded slightly and quickly disappeared into the crowd.


    "Can''t take it anymore, huh?" Blaze Regret smiled indifferently. He didn''t need to think much to understand Mon Black''s intention.


    If he relied solely on free combat, not to mention seven consecutive victories, even eight or nine consecutive victories were possible. Obviously, this was not a situation the Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment wanted to see. To prevent this from happening, the most effective way was to send someone from their regiment to defeat Blaze Regret on the platform.


    Sorry for the late update

 Chapter 156 - 156 Fighting Sam Chester

    "For the eighth match, is there anyone who wishes to challenge?" Mon Star stared at Blaze Regret, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already foreseen what was about to happen.


    "Clang!"


    As Mon Star''s voice fell, a crisp sound of metal striking the ground echoed. On the high platform, a golden wing was thrust into the stone platform. On the back of the golden figure stood a young man, looking coldly at Blaze Regret.


    "It''s Sam Chester! His chief spirit beast, the Spirit Wing Eagle, is a rare metal element spirit beast, said to have reached the mid tier warrior of the seventh grade."


    Someone in the crowd couldn''t help but exclaim, drawing everyone''s attention.


    Compared to other elements, metal element spirit beasts possess exceptionally terrifying attack and defense capabilities. Their bodies are as hard as metal.


    Seeing the Spirit Wing Eagle slowly levitate, a trace of worry appeared in Yun Suhaila''s eyes. Blaze Regret''s Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was strong, but Sam Chester''s Spirit Wing Eagle was not weak either.


    "Metal element, huh?" Blaze Regret sighed inwardly. Coming to the Hildan Arena was indeed the right decision. Not only did he encounter rare snow element spirit beasts, but now even metal element spirit beasts were making an appearance.


    "Are you a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment?" Blaze Regret raised his eyes slightly, looking at the cold faced Sam Chester, and smiled.


    "Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment? I don''t know what you''re talking about. I''m here just to take you down and earn some gold coins." Sam Chester''s eyes flickered slightly before he shook his head, his voice extremely cold.


    "Tsk tsk, that explanation doesn''t hold up at all," Blaze Regret smirked. Every spirit hunter in Black Scale Town knew about the Draconic Spirit Hunting Regiment. Sam Chester''s attempt to hide it only revealed more.


    "Are you here to exchange words or to fight?" Mon Star''s cold gaze swept toward Blaze Regret after seeing the bets being placed below.


    "I want to know the odds," Blaze Regret shrugged innocently and asked with a smile.


    "One to seven," Mon Star sneered.


    Clearly, at this point, few people had faith in Blaze Regret. Whether he could survive on this platform was still a big question mark.


    "So low?" Blaze Regret shook his head in disappointment, then took another gold coin card from his spatial ring and tossed it to Mon Star. "Thirty thousand gold coins."


    "You''re betting on yourself to lose? Sorry, participants can''t place bets. What if you lose on purpose?" Mon Star exaggeratedly waved his hand, causing many spirit hunters below to burst into laughter.


    "I''m betting on myself to win," Blaze Regret responded with a faint smile.


    Hearing this, Mon Star looked at Blaze Regret with a strange expression before bursting into laughter. Did he hear correctly? A fifth tier warrior grade spirit master daring to bet on himself against a seventh tier warrior grade spirit master?


    "Attention seeker," Mon Black, standing below, squinted his eyes disdainfully. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Alright, alright. Since that''s the case, I''ll make an exception this once. Thank you for the gold coins," Mon Star said, repeating "alright" twice. His expression, however, was filled with a sarcastic tone.


    "Your strategy to buy time is clever, but even if your spiritual power is restored to its peak, you still have no chance of defeating me," Sam Chester''s eyes flashed with a cold glint that was hard to detect.


    "Chirp!"


    At the same time, the Spirit Winged Eagle flapped its wings and suddenly charged out, its chest skimming just three feet above the ground. Its golden, shimmering wings, sharp as blades, slashed open with a swish, aiming fiercely at Red.


    Its claws spread open, surging with intense flames. Red''s body suddenly stood half upright, colliding with the swiftly flying Spirit Winged Eagle.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks flew as the Spirit Winged Eagle, with its speed boosting its strength to the limit, clashed with Red''s claws. The moment Red''s claws locked onto its wings, it was immediately knocked backward, its sharp claws leaving clear marks on the stone platform.


    Battle intent surged in its blue eyes. Just as it was about to be pushed off the platform, three streams of blue light swirled around Red, its strength surging in an instant. The Spirit Winged Eagle''s rapid speed gradually slowed, and by the time it reached the edge, it could not advance any further.


    Glaring at Red ahead, the Spirit Winged Eagle''s pupils turned icy cold. It raised its sharp claws and tore viciously toward Red''s abdomen.


    "Roar!"


    Red raised its two tail, which had become sharp as a blade, and collided with the Spirit Winged Eagle. The immense force made it stagger, nearly falling off.


    Applying slight pressure with its claws, Red spun in midair, gliding past the Spirit Winged Eagle''s back and landing steadily on the stone platform.


    Seeing its target disappear, the Spirit Winged Eagle let out an angry cry. Just as it was about to turn around, a swirling flame whirlwind suddenly sent its body flying.


    "Crack!"


    Red leaped high with force, its razor sharp claws carving several small cracks into the Spirit Winged Eagle''s back.


    "Excellent!" Sam Chester laughed in anger. Red''s reaction speed was beyond his expectations. From the moment the Spirit Winged Eagle attacked to the point it got injured, only a few seconds had passed. Seeing the cracks on its back, a hint of killing intent crept into Sam Chester''s voice.


    "Spirit Winged Eagle, fly up and kill that fire cat in mid air!"


    Upon hearing Sam Chester''s command, the Spirit Winged Eagle sprang into action, soaring swiftly into the sky. Red''s claws swiped underneath it, nearly disemboweling it.


    Circling once in mid air, the Spirit Winged Eagle''s icy gaze locked onto Red. With a flick of its wings, several iron like golden feathers detached and shot downwards with fierce momentum.


    "Clang!"


    Red''s body flashed, dodging those few golden feathers. However, more feathers soon rained down like a storm, quickly covering the entire platform with upright, razor sharp feather blades.

 Chapter 157 - 157 One Move

    "Let''s see how you dodge this," Sam Chester said, his smile growing colder as he saw the feather blades cutting off Red''s retreat. "Spirit Winged Eagle, deliver the final blow and turn it into a sieve."


    The Spirit Winged Eagle let out a joyful cry as several sharp feather blades coalesced in front of its body, shimmering with a fierce light, locking onto Red.


    "Hmph," Mon Star sneered coldly.


    "Are you so sure I can''t hit your Spirit Winged Eagle?"


    At that moment, Blaze Regret''s calm and faint voice suddenly echoed.


    Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice echoed. Sam Chester sneered dismissively. The Spirit Winged Eagle and the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat were at least ten meters apart. He couldn''t believe that a Two Tail Demon Flame Cat could have any spiritual skill that could attack from such a distance.


    "Bluffing." Sam Chester casually muttered a few words.


    "Swish!"


    With a swing of its wings, a few golden feather blades from the Spirit Winged Eagle pierced through the air, producing a sharp whistling sound that resonated continuously.


    As the feather blades whistled toward it, the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s blue gemstone like eyes remained calm. Its sharp claws slightly lifted, and as spiritual energy gathered, a sharp Blue fire ring suddenly appeared and began to spin wildly.


    "This is..." Sam Chester''s face twitched slightly as he stared at the Blue fire ring. His understanding of the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was still stuck at the initial spiritual skills. He had never even heard of the Fire Thorn Ring. At this moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.


    The Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s head lifted slightly, and a sharp glint flashed in its eyes as it looked at the Spirit Winged Eagle in the sky. Its claws clenched slightly, and the Blue Fire Thorn Ring shot out instantly.


    "Crack!"


    The first to meet the Fire Thorn Ring were the few sharp feather blades of the Spirit Winged Eagle. However, the Fire Thorn Ring seemed to pass through them effortlessly, as if it had not encountered any obstacle. The broken feather blades fell powerlessly, embedding into the stone platform under the force of gravity.


    The Blue fire ring rapidly enlarged in the Spirit Winged Eagle''s eyes. The killing intent on its face vanished instantly. Its feathers stood on end as it frantically flew upwards, sensing a deadly threat from the fire ring.


    "Stop!" Sam Chester shouted desperately, the usual coldness on his face long gone.


    However, his shout had no effect on the Fire Thorn Ring. The Spirit Winged Eagle was fast, but the Fire Thorn Ring was faster. In a flash, it caught up with the Spirit Winged Eagle and pierced through its golden wings.


    Blood splattered as a miserable cry echoed in the sky. The Spirit Winged Eagle staggered a few times before plunging head first out of the Hildan Arena, disappearing from everyone''s sight.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s cold gaze turn towards him, Sam Chester shivered, hurriedly jumping off the high platform with his face filled with intense fear.


    "Deputy Leader Mon Star, please announce the result." Blaze Regret said indifferently.


    Upon hearing the reminder, Mon Star snapped back to reality and reflexively announced the result of the match. His eyes, however, were fixed on Blaze Regret like a venomous snake.


    Blaze Regret had actually defeated Sam Chester, who was two ranks higher than him, using only his fifth tier strength. This potential far exceeded Mon Star''s understanding. Given the initial actions of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, it was clear that Blaze Regret now harbored deep animosity towards them. If this young man was not eliminated, they would never have peace in the future!


    Exchanging a glance with the gloomy faced Mon Black, Mon Star nodded, further solidifying his thoughts.


    "He actually won." Yun Suhaila took a few white jade tokens from the hands of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members, a faint smile appearing on her face. She had placed a bet on Blaze Regret winning, and though she hadn''t expected him to actually win, he did.


    "Deputy Leader Mon Star, can you give me the gold coins first? These jade tokens are useless to me." Blaze Regret looked at the large pile of jade tokens in his hands with a headache, while the hunters below the stage all looked on with envy and jealousy. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "If I had known, I would have bet on this kid to win. How much gold would that be worth!"


    "Exactly, betting ten thousand gold coins, even after the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group takes their cut, you could still earn fifty thousand gold coins. That''s a fortune!"


    Regretful voices rang out continuously from below the stage.


    "That''s not possible. The Hildan Arena has its own rules. All jade tokens can only be exchanged after the matches are over." Mon Star apologized to Blaze Regret with a smile. He had never intended to give Blaze Regret the gold coins anyway, so losing this much didn''t bother him at all.


    So what if Sam Chester lost? The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group had plenty of strong members. Mon Star was determined to kill Blaze Regret.


    "Oh, well then, I won''t compete anymore."


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret sighed and shook his head. He walked to the edge of the platform, ready to jump down.


    "Wait, are you sure you won''t compete anymore? Win two more matches and you can get an offensive spirit technique!" Mon Star was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shouted. If Blaze Regret exchanged the tokens on the spot and took the gold coins into the forest, it would be a huge effort for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to find him, no matter how many people they had.


    "I''ll compete if you exchange the gold coins for me. If I lose and can''t get the gold coins from winning eight matches, and you don''t exchange them for me, I''ll be at a huge loss." Blaze Regret shrugged.


    "Please trust the credibility of our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group." Mon Star breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Blaze Regret still had the intention to compete, it was fine. What he feared was Blaze Regret taking the money and running away.

 Chapter 158 - 158 Out Of Control

    "I don''t trust you." Blaze Regret waved his hand and turned to jump down again.


    "Exchange it for him."


    A cold voice rang out from below the stage. Mon Black, with narrowed eyes, looked at Blaze Regret and spoke slowly. His desire to kill Blaze Regret was no less than Mon Star''s.


    "But Third Uncle, this is against the rules." Mon Star said with a bitter smile.


    "Rules are made by people. If I say exchange it, then exchange it." Mon Black impatiently waved his hand. He didn''t care about the gold coins; he only wanted to see Blaze Regret''s blood spill on the stage.


    Mon Star pursed his lips slightly, reluctantly took out a gold coin card from his spatial stone, and shot it towards Blaze Regret.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret quickly retracted his outstretched leg, smiling as he put the gold coin card into his void realms stone. Even if Mon Star didn''t exchange it, he wouldn''t have really given up the competition. After all, the temptation of an offensive spirit technique was too great.


    "Next match, Adam Smitch." Mon Star looked towards a hot tempered young man in the audience and nodded slightly.


    "Can I still place a bet?"


    Just as Mon Star was about to announce the start, Blaze Regret weakly spoke up.


    "Brother Blaze Regret, allowing you to place a bet just now was already against the rules. Please don''t make things difficult for us." Mon Star suppressed his anger and forced a smile.


    With a disappointed sigh, Blaze Regret looked at the young man standing in front of him. From him, he sensed an extremely violent aura, like an explosive flame.


    "How much spirit power do you have left?" Adam Smitch''s icy eyes stared directly at Blaze Regret.


    "Should be enough to deal with you." Blaze Regret rubbed his somewhat dry face and smiled lightly.


    "One move."


    Adam Smitch was not angered by Blaze Regret''s demeanor. He simply uttered two words indifferently. A fiery red figure suddenly dashed out from beside him, the violent aura of flames instantly engulfing the entire Hildan Arena.


    "Explosive Flame Elephant, huh?"


    Blaze Regret looked at the bulky figure, the corners of his mouth lifting into a faint smile. Since Adam Smitch wanted to settle this in one move, he would grant his wish.


    The heavy body stomped on the high platform, making a booming sound. The flames on the back of the Explosive Flame Elephant were like armor, giving it an extremely hard appearance.


    The rushing body came to the front of the Red. The pupils of the Explosive Flame on Elephant, as big as lamps, stared coldly at the Red. Then, its thick foot slightly raised, and as the flames surged, the spiritual energy in the field quickly flowed towards the bottom of its foot.


    "Explosive Flame Stomp!" Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Adam Smitch''s stern voice rang out, and the foot of the Explosive Flame Elephant stomped down hard on the Red. Even before it landed, cracks had already appeared on the stone platform below.


    Explosive Flame Stomp, a spiritual skill that only a seventh tier warrior grade Explosive Flame Elephant could comprehend, had extremely strong destructive power. This move had turned countless spiritual beasts into minced meat.


    Many spirit hunters below the stage closed their eyes. Not to mention the fifth tier warrior grade Two Tail Demon Flame Cat, even most seventh tier warrior grade spiritual beasts would meet their end under this spiritual skill.


    The shadow, like a small mountain, loomed down. The Red''s face remained unusually calm. Suddenly, a tiny blue flame leapt from its pupils, flickering with an extremely strange luster.


    The Explosive Flame Elephant locked eyes with this gaze, and its stomping foot suddenly froze in mid air. The fierce wind slightly ruffled the blue red fur of the Red.


    "Explosive Flame Elephant, kill it!" Adam Smitch was slightly taken aback when he saw the Explosive Flame Elephant suddenly stop, then shouted loudly.


    Immediately, a bizarre scene unfolded. The Explosive Flame Elephant slowly turned around, its cold eyes sweeping over Adam Smitch, then stopping on Mon Black.


    "Roar!"


    A powerful elephant''s trumpet echoed, and the Explosive Flame Elephant suddenly moved its strong limbs, charging straight towards Mon Black below the stage. Waves of substantial red spiritual energy surged towards its feet, and then it stomped down.


    "Stop!" Adam Smitch''s hair stood on end when he saw this, and he hurriedly tried to activate his spiritual connection with the Explosive Flame Elephant. However, the latter ignored him completely, not deviating even a bit in its attack direction.


    This baffling scene left all the spirit hunters bewildered. How could the Explosive Flame Elephant suddenly lose control and attack the third leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?


    "Bastard."


    An emotionless voice emerged from his mouth as Mon Black glared fiercely at the flaming foot descending above his head. Suddenly, a massive silver fist shot out from behind him, directly smashing the Explosive Flame Elephant''s foot into a cloud of blood mist.


    "Boom!"


    A roaring wave of air swept outward, and the Explosive Flame Elephant''s enormous body was instantly flung away, crashing heavily to the ground. Half of its body was completely destroyed by the immense force, with blood splattering all over the ground.


    Seeing the tragically dead Explosive Flame Elephant, all the spirit hunters took a sharp breath. Who could have imagined that the Explosive Flame Elephent, which had been so imposing on the stage just moments ago, would turn into a corpse in the blink of an eye?


    "Leader, the Explosive Flame Elephant just went out of control!" Adam Smitch''s voice was shrill as he looked at the remains on the ground. His legs almost gave way, and he nearly collapsed.


    Upon hearing this, Mon Black''s heart felt a sudden pang as he quickly glanced at the young man on the stage. He had miscalculated; in his haste, he had killed his own subordinate''s spiritual beast!


    Given Adam Smitch''s loyalty, he certainly wouldn''t believe Adam Smitch would attack him on purpose. There was only one explanation: it must have been the work of that Two Tail Demon Flame Cat!

 Chapter 159 - 159 Shrek 1

    "Just now, I think I heard Adam Smitch call him leader." Finally, one of the spirit hunters reacted, looking at his companion and tentatively asking.


    "It seems so. Could it be that Adam Smitch is a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?"


    "No way. Does that mean this Hildan Arena is all rigged? I remember Adam Smitch defeated more than one contestant on stage."


    Whispers erupted among the crowd. On the stage, Adam Smitch''s face was full of sorrow and fear. He was mourning the death of his spiritual beast, but the fear was from accidentally revealing his identity.


    "I, I..."


    Just as Adam Smitch was about to explain, a sharp silver blade suddenly flew over, slicing through his throat.


    "Dare to spread rumors and cause trouble in front of me? You''ve grown tired of living." Mon Black''s eyes were cold as he looked at the fallen Adam Smitch, speaking in a frosty tone.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, feeling a chill in his heart. No matter what, Adam Smitch was still a member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, and Mon Black killed him without hesitation. His ruthlessness had exceeded Blaze Regret''s imagination.


    "Everyone, calm down. This is all a misunderstanding. The Hildan Arena has always operated on principles of fairness and justice. I believe Adam Smitch was sent by another Spirit Hunting group with the sole purpose of disrupting our arena."


    Adam Smitch''s death left Mon Star slightly disoriented, but being the ruthless person he was, he quickly composed himself and addressed the crowd with a smile.


    Hearing Mon Star''s explanation, some spirit hunters nodded in realization, but many others had flickering eyes, clearly not buying the explanation. However, due to the formidable power of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, no one dared to speak out.


    "Congratulations, this match is yours," Mon Star said to Blaze Regret, smiling with an underlying murderous intent that seemed to pierce through Blaze Regret''s skin.


    "The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, very impressive," Blaze Regret said slowly after a brief silence. Although Adam Smitch was his opponent, dying so inexplicably left Blaze Regret feeling a sense of unresolved anger.


    "Soon, you''ll witness something even more impressive," Mon Star replied with a light laugh. He then stacked three spirit technique books of different colors and placed them on a stone pillar.


    "Blaze Regret, give up," Yun Suhaila, who was below the stage, couldn''t hold back any longer after a moment of hesitation. Her voice was filled with deep worry.


    She had fully experienced the corruption of the Hildan Arena. If Blaze Regret continued, given the ruthlessness of Mon Black and his associates, he was likely to die on the stage.


    "Don''t worry, trust me," Blaze Regret said with a warm smile to Yun Suhaila. He then took a deep breath, summoned the Red, and retrieved the last Qi Restoring Pill from his void realms stone, feeding it to the Red.


    According to the rules of the Hildan Arena, one could use any method to replenish spiritual power during rest periods, and using pills was considered the most extravagant method. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Stop struggling. The next person to enter will obliterate both you and your spirit beast on stage. Even if your fire Cat recovers to its peak, it won''t escape death. Let me tell you a secret, that person''s spirit beast recently killed a ninth tier warrior grade Wild Wind Leopard with its eighth tier warrior grade power," Mon Star''s sinister voice whispered into Blaze Regret''s ear.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly. An eighth tier killing a ninth tier? It did sound formidable indeed.


    However, it wasn''t entirely without hope.


    "Boom!"


    As these thoughts raced through his mind, a massive black shadow suddenly crashed heavily onto the stage. Instantly, a web of cracks spread outward from its center, extending in all directions like a spider''s web.


    Dense cracks suddenly appeared on the high platform, even showing signs of damage at the edges of the stone platform. This visually impactful scene instantly silenced everyone.


    A massive figure slowly straightened up, and a surge of powerful energy suddenly swept out from its body, causing the scattered rubble around to shoot in all directions.


    "What kind of spirit beast is this¡­"


    Blaze Regret''s face tightened as he looked at the spirit beast in front of him, which was as robust as a small mountain. Its enormous fists and heavy body all displayed its immense power.


    "It''s Aishi Graze''s Shrek. I didn''t expect it to show up. The last time I saw it was three months ago!"


    "With such big fists, it could probably crush a spirit beast of the same rank with one punch. It''s terrifying!"


    Exclamations echoed through the crowd. It was clear that Shrek had quite a reputation in Hildan Town.


    "The one that caused Adam Smitch''s Explosive Flame Elephant to lose control must have been the eyes of the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat."


    A young man in white stood below the high platform. As the ground wriggled, a stone pillar broke through the earth, lifting the young man in white to a level equal to the high platform.


    "If you don''t look into its eyes, that bizarre spirit technique shouldn''t work. I''m curious to know, apart from this spirit technique, what other cards do you have up your sleeve?" The young man in white, named Aishi Graze, spoke slowly, his eyes calm and unruffled as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    "It''s Aishi Graze! Hahaha, he''s so handsome. That guy is dead for sure!" A girl standing next to Yun Suhaila looked at Aishi Graze with a crazed expression, her voice filled with joy.


    "How can you say that? What if Aishi Graze loses?" Yun Suhaila''s face turned cold upon hearing this, and her tone was unfriendly.


    "What if? Are you kidding me? Do you know that Aishi Graze''s Shrek recently killed a ninth tier warrior grade Barbaric Wind Leopard? And this guy is standing up for you, right? How pitiful. Prepare to collect his corpse." The girl sneered and then cast her fervent gaze towards Aishi Graze on the high platform.

 Chapter 160 - 160 Shrek 2 (Bonus)

    Yun Suhaila''s chest heaved, clearly infuriated. However, her worry for Blaze Regret quickly suppressed her anger.


    After all, Aishi Graze was a genuine eighth tier warrior grade spirit warrior. Blaze Regret''s chances of winning were extremely slim.


    "I have many cards left to play. If you have the ability, you can reveal them one by one," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile, his voice calm and unwavering.


    "Fine, then show me."


    Aishi Graze''s eyes suddenly sharpened, and his cold voice echoed, "Shrek, charge and finish this quickly."


    Shrek''s large fist slightly opened, its gaze fixed on Red, and then it suddenly rushed out. The stone platform beneath its feet instantly shattered, seemingly unable to bear its immense strength.


    Red''s mouth slightly opened, and a brilliant blue sun shot out, heading straight for Shrek.


    "Bang!"


    Shrek clenched its hand, shattering the blazing sun immediately. The shockwave from the explosion didn''t cause it any harm.


    Having crushed the blazing sun, spirit energy gathered in Shrek''s fist. As the air trembled, it aimed a fierce punch at Red''s head.


    With a nimble twist of its body, Red dodged Shrek''s fist at its waist. Its two tail lifted, the sharp tail blade forming an extremely hard arc, swiftly slashing at Shrek''s arm.


    "Clang!"


    It was as if it had struck steel. Red''s two tail blade left a clear double white mark on Shrek''s arm. The latter roared angrily, raising its hand to grab at Red''s waist.


    With a light press of its paw on the ground, a blue flame whirlwind swept out, sending Red''s body flying away and causing Shrek to grab at nothing.


    Shrek, with its immense strength, was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of speed. Trying to catch Red before inflicting substantial damage was evidently impossible.


    "Shrek, use the sandstorm to restrict its movements!" Aishi Graze commanded in a deep voice.


    "Roar!"


    Shrek let out a low growl, spreading its palms open. From each palm, earth colored spiritual energy surged forth and then slammed heavily onto the ground.


    As Shrek''s palms struck the ground, two sandstorms roared and expanded, instantly filling the high platform with swirling sand. Red, who had been darting around swiftly, found its speed greatly reduced.


    "A spirit technique to restrict the opponent''s movements," Blaze Regret murmured, his brow slightly furrowed. Red''s greatest advantage in the battle against Shrek was its speed, but now, this advantage was rapidly diminishing.


    Amid the sweeping sand, Shrek seemed entirely unaffected, an expression of extreme satisfaction appearing on its face. Its cold gaze fixed on Red, and it threw a punch.


    The sound of collisions echoed continuously. Although Red managed to dodge most of the attacks successfully, the sandstorm clearly had a significant impact. Shrek''s fists came dangerously close to smashing Red''s head several times.


    The distance between Shrek and Red kept closing. Suddenly, Shrek''s eyes sharpened, and stones rapidly gathered around its fist, causing it to swell to twice its size. The fist then descended like lightning.


    This move was as powerful as thunder, comparable to the fiery stomp of an explosive elephant, yet it was just a casual strike from Shrek.


    A fierce gust of wind approached from above. Red''s body tensed slightly. Just as the punch was about to land, two two tail demon Flame Cats suddenly split from Red. Surrounded by flames, three orbs of blue demon fire spun rapidly in front of them, shooting straight at Shrek''s face.

    "Boom!"


    The two two tail demon Flame Cats collided heavily with Shrek''s face. One dissipated on the spot, turning into blue flames, while the other rolled in mid air before landing steadily on the ground and quickly retreating to put distance between itself and Shrek.


    The immense force on its face caused Shrek''s bulky body to stagger backward, nearly toppling over.


    Seeing this, Red opened its mouth, and beams of radiant sunlight formed a straight line, continuously blasting Shrek''s face. Although it didn''t cause significant damage, the shockwaves from the explosions forced Shrek''s already leaning body to fall backward.

    "Crash!"


    Dust and wind swept out as Shrek crashed heavily onto the ground. The already damaged stone platform now had a deep pit in it, with cracks rapidly spreading from the pit.


    "Did it work?" Yun Suhaila''s small mouth was slightly open, and then her watery eyes suddenly narrowed.


    Amid the swirling dust, a large hand suddenly emerged, pressing against the stone platform. Shrek slowly stood up, casually shaking its head as if the fall had caused it no harm at all.


    "This body is tougher than a turtle''s shell," Blaze Regret sighed lightly. Red''s fierce attacks were completely ignored by Shrek''s formidable defense.


    "Nice try, but it''s useless against my Shrek."


    Aishi Graze, with his hands clasped behind his back, spoke softly, "This match can end now. Shrek, deliver the final blow to that fire cat."


    Lowering the hand that had been touching the back of her head, Shrek gently nodded. Her violent gaze locked onto Red, who was retreating rapidly. Suddenly, she clenched her fist and slammed it onto the stone platform.


    "Buzz!"


    Ripples of earth colored spiritual energy undulated across the surface of the stone platform. If one were to look closely, they would notice that these ripples weren''t dispersing outward but were converging under Shrek''s fist in a very eerie manner.


    Red, who was retreating, suddenly stiffened, then began to slowly slide back towards Shrek as if grabbed by a giant hand.


    "Gravity Fist, did you see that? It''s Gravity Fist, Shrek''s signature move!" the woman beside Yun Suhaila exclaimed excitedly.


    As Shrek drew closer, the radiant light surrounding Red''s body reached its peak speed. However, apart from slightly slowing her movement, it had no other effect.


    With her left fist pressed against the stone platform, Shrek stared intently at Red. She slowly raised her right fist, then launched it with wild, fierce force.


    Under this violent punch, the very air seemed to tear apart, and the sound of the wind cutting through the air echoed incessantly.


    "Is it over..." Yun Suhaila closed her eyes with a bitter smile, unable to bear watching any longer.

 Chapter 161 - 161 Shrek 3 (Bonus)

    Many spirit hunters held their breath, even Mon Black and Mon Star slightly leaned forward, eager to see Red''s head smashed by the punch.


    In her eyes, Shrek''s fist grew larger and larger. Yet, there wasn''t the slightest panic on Red''s face. Instead, as the fist was about to hit, a look of relief appeared.


    "Whoosh!"


    The fist carrying the violent force suddenly paused slightly, and a trace of blood trickled from the corner of Shrek''s mouth. Her body seemed to freeze in place.


    "What''s happening?"


    The onlooking spirit hunters were stunned, completely unable to understand what was happening on the high platform.


    "Look at the back of Shrek''s head!"


    At this moment, a voice filled with intense shock suddenly broke the silence, echoing throughout the Hildan Arena.


    Everyone quickly looked over, only to see a small Fire spike Ring embedded at the back of Shrek''s head, with faint traces of blood seeping out.


    "You''ve lost," Blaze Regret said with a slight smile, turning to Aishi Graze.


    From the very beginning, he had intended for Red to use the Fire Spike Ring. However, Shrek''s body was too tough. If used haphazardly, the Fire Spike Ring would dissipate after a few cuts due to energy depletion. So, he instructed Red to insert the Fire Spike Ring into the stone platform at the moment of landing with Split Shadow.


    When Shrek fell, the Fire Spike Ring embedded itself at the back of her head.


    "Impossible, this is impossible! Aishi Graze cannot lose!" The woman beside Yun Suhaila shook her head repeatedly in disbelief.


    Red slowly retreated, but suddenly, her raised claw froze in mid air.


    "Lose? You''re too naive," Aishi Graze said with a faint smile.


    "Crack!"


    The hard rocks on the surface of Shrek''s body began to fall off piece by piece, along with the Fire Spike Ring from Red. A thin figure emerged from the shattered rock shell, radiating an extremely powerful spiritual energy.


    At that moment, Shrek seemed completely renewed. Not only had she shed her previous heaviness, but she also appeared incredibly agile, as if freed from some kind of restraint.


    Shrek picked up the Fire Spike Ring from the ground, swung it in her hand, and then suddenly hurled it towards Red. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Fire Spike Ring shot out like a blue streak of light, whistling past the high platform. Red quickly dodged, and the streak of light carved a deep groove into the stone platform behind her.


    After throwing the Fire Spike Ring, Shrek stepped on the stone platform and dashed forward suddenly. With a swift flick of her hand, a sharp rock spike shot out from the back of her hand, stabbing towards Red like lightning.


    Under such a terrifying onslaught, Red quickly dodged, and with Shrek''s relentless stabbing, solid afterimages began to appear.


    "Whoosh!"


    Shrek swung her tightly clenched fist, and the stone spike on the back of her hand left a gash on Red''s abdomen. In an instant, blood stained the white fur on Red''s chest red.


    "Haha, I knew it! How could a worthless nobody who appeared out of nowhere possibly defeat Aishi Graze?" The green clad woman beside Yun Suhaila cheered excitedly, her face full of glee.


    Yun Suhaila bit her lip slightly, her white teeth leaving a faint mark on her lips.


    "This must be Shrek''s true form," Blaze Regret said, his gaze growing increasingly serious as he watched Shrek''s agile movements.


    "Indeed," Aishi Graze nodded slightly and said softly, "If we were of equal strength, I might really fall at your hands. However, today''s victor is clearly not you. Admit defeat; you can''t beat me."


    Blaze Regret was somewhat surprised by Aishi Graze''s offer of surrender. He had originally thought Aishi Graze would be like the others before, aiming to kill him.


    "Your potential is great, but it''s not worth sacrificing your life for a moment of pride. After admitting defeat, find a forest to hide in. The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is not something you can provoke," Aishi Graze continued.


    "Hehe, others have said the same thing before," Blaze Regret suddenly laughed. "I''ve never sought to provoke others; it''s just that some people''s actions are too detestable. Rather than letting them offend the eye, it''s better to find a way to erase them."


    Hearing this, Mon Black and Mon Star''s eyes turned cold. It was clear Blaze Regret was referring to them.


    "Childish."


    After a moment of silence, Aishi Graze slowly uttered two words, and then his indifferent voice came again, "You can''t even defeat me. What right do you have to say such things?" Continue your journey with m|v-l''e m,p y r


    "Rights are not determined by words," Blaze Regret said, spreading his palm. The remaining spiritual energy within his first spiritual portal frantically flowed towards Red. "I only believe in strength."


    "Roar!"


    Red, who had been continuously dodging, suddenly forced Shrek back with a swipe of her claw. Blue spiritual energy gathered in her two claws, and in an instant, two rapidly spinning Fire Spike Rings appeared out of thin air, amid countless shocked gazes!


    The fire spike rings, edged with sharp thorns, hovered above Red''s claws, spinning rapidly. A faint Blue stream of light circled around the fire spike rings, rotating with them, emitting a piercing buzzing sound. At this moment, the temperature on the damaged platform soared.


    "This aura is no less than a low tier imperial grade spiritual skill..."


    Countless people stared dumbfounded at the two fire spike rings, eyes full of disbelief. A single fire spike ring could already obliterate most high tier warrior grade spiritual skills, and Red could actually refine two of them simultaneously!


    "We must not let this boy go," Mon Black and Mon Star''s faces were icy cold. They had no doubt that with Blaze Regret''s potential, if allowed to grow, the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would one day suffer a fatal blow.


    "Is this your trump card..." Aishi Graze''s eyes were solemn, the spiritual power within the Spirit Portal rapidly flowing towards Shrek like a torrent. He had a premonition that if he held back any longer, Shrek might fall to this move.

 Chapter 162 - 162 Shrek 4

    "Whoosh!"


    Shrek''s arm trembled, and the rock spikes on the back of his hand instantly extended a section. All the spiritual power condensed on this rock spike, causing deep yellow light to flicker at its tip. A small pit appeared in the stone platform below.


    "Shrek, Rock Shattering Void Spike!"


    Aishi Graze''s eyes suddenly opened wide, his cold shout echoed, Shrek stomped the ground, and amidst the flying rocks, charged swiftly towards Red. The rock spike thrust out violently, creating a fine crack in the space ahead.


    Red''s eyes flickered, and his claws crossed, swinging out. The spinning fire spike rings tore through the air, darting around the platform, leaving afterimages, then abruptly converged in front of Shrek. The two fire spike rings, carrying scorching heat, slashed down towards Shrek''s head.


    Shrek''s arm slightly raised, and the sharp spike clashed fiercely with the fire spike rings.


    "Clang!"


    A crisp collision sound rang out as a wave of violent energy rapidly spread from the point of impact. The already damaged platform further collapsed in layers. For a moment, stones flew everywhere, and the two spirit beasts were deeply embedded into the stone platform.


    Wisps of blue smoke rose from the pit formed by their clash, and the onlookers held their breath.


    "Who won?"


    After a long silence on the platform, only Blaze Regret and Aishi Graze stood facing each other from a distance, their expressions calm. Finally, a soft inquiry emerged from among the spirit hunters below.


    "Are you stupid? Do you even need to ask? Of course, Aishi Graze won." The green robed woman beside Yun Suhaila shot a displeased glance at the speaker.


    Yun Suhaila pursed her lips, her face full of worry.


    "Congratulations, Brother Aishi. Your strength is indeed extraordinary. This wild cat and dog, who knows from which hole they crawled out, dared to challenge Brother Aishi. Truly foolish," Mon Star said, cupping his hands towards Aishi Graze with a smile. If one listened closely, they could detect a hint of sycophancy in his voice.


    It was baffling to see the deputy leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group showing such respect to a mere member.


    "I declare the winner to be Aishi¡­" Mon Star glanced mockingly at Blaze Regret and began to announce the result with a hint of derision in his voice.


    "I lost."


    However, Aishi Graze''s calm voice cut Mon Star off mid sentence, leaving the words stuck in his throat.


    "Brother Blaze, your Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s talent far exceeds my expectations," Aishi Graze said, looking at Blaze Regret with a serene gaze, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.


    "Your Shrek is also quite impressive." Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly as the exhausted Red slowly climbed out of the pit, its Blue tail dragging out a severely injured figure Shrek!


    "How can this be!" The green robed woman below covered her mouth in shock while Yun Suhaila beside her breathed a sigh of relief, as if she were the one who had just fought on the platform.


    "Thank you," Aishi Graze said as he brushed his hand over his waist. With a flick of his fingertips, a pale yellow pill fell into Shrek''s mouth. Astonishingly, after ingesting the pill, Shrek''s body quickly regenerated a layer of rock armor, visible to the naked eye.


    "I never thought I''d meet my match in this small town," Aishi Graze chuckled self deprecatingly. After Shrek returned to its spirit portal, Aishi Graze gently jumped off the tattered platform, waved his hand slowly with his back to Blaze Regret, and said, "If you''re interested, you can come to the central empire to find me. The training environment there is a hundred times better than here.


    Of course, you''ll need to figure out how to clean up this mess first."


    Watching Aishi Graze disappear into the distance, Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed that Aishi Graze had quite a background. But were all these aristocratic heirs so arrogant? It seemed like each of them had a condescending tone when they spoke.


    Aishi Graze was like this, and so was Kartis Van.


    Thinking of Kartis Van, a cold light flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He had now reached the strength Kartis Van had that day. He wondered how far Kartis Van had progressed with the ample resources of the kartis family supporting him.


    Gently shaking his head to clear his mind of these sudden thoughts, Blaze Regret looked at Mon Star, whose face had turned grim, and smiled faintly, "According to the rules, I can now choose one of the three spirit techniques, right?"


    Mon Star stared coldly at Blaze Regret in silence, making the atmosphere in the arena tense and oppressive.


    "Hehe, Brother Blaze, you''re so young and already a fifth tier spirit warrior grade. Such talent is hard to come by. Have you ever considered joining our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?" Mon Black chimed in with a smile, though the latent violence in his eyes suggested he merely wanted to use this pretense to keep Blaze Regret there.


    "Commander Mon overestimates me. There are plenty of fifth tier spirit warriors grade my age in the central empire. I wouldn''t want to cause trouble for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group," Blaze Regret replied with a smile, discreetly moving toward the stone pillar where the three offensive spirit techniques lay quietly.


    "So, are you saying you look down on our Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?" Mon Black continued to smile, but his suddenly cold words made many spirit hunters shiver involuntarily.


    "Not at all. I just prefer my freedom," Blaze Regret said apologetically, placing his hand gently on the ice element spirit technique.


    At that moment, a spirit hunter hurried over to Mon Star and whispered something in his ear. A cold gleam instantly flashed in Mon Star''s eyes, and a sinister smile formed at the corner of his mouth.


    "Brother Blaze, I heard that you recently traded a few stone mushroom monsters at the shop. Is that true?" Mon Star asked, turning his sinister gaze toward Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 163 - 163 Trick

    "Yes, so what?" Blaze Regret frowned, a sense of unease rising within him.


    "Seize him! This brat snuck into the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group''s treasure vault a few days ago and stole the spirit realm stone containing the stone mushroom monsters!" Mon Star shouted sharply.


    Immediately, dozens of spirit hunters with Dragon patterns on their chests surrounded the damaged platform. Their spirit beasts all stared menacingly at Blaze Regret.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense.


    Sitting in the chair, Mon Black looked at this scene with a trace of a cold smile on his face. It was obvious to anyone that Blaze Regret was already exhausted, and his Two tail Demon Flame Cat couldn''t even stand up.


    "How could this be..." Yun Suhaila''s face turned pale, and sweat seeped from her jade like hands. She certainly didn''t believe Mon Black''s words, but it seemed that the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group wanted to eliminate Blaze Regret as quickly as possible.


    "I knew it, he''s a thief. Captain Mon, don''t let him go. I, Su Yu, despise people like him the most!" The woman next to Yun Suhaila exclaimed with added embellishment, her face lighting up with joy.


    "You..." Yun Suhaila turned her head, glaring angrily at Su Yu.


    "What are you looking at? He''s about to die. Daring to win against Aishi Graze, he must be tired of living." Su Yu glanced at Yun Suhaila with pride, feeling extremely excited inside.


    "Captain Mon, is there no room for negotiation?" Blaze Regret pressed one hand on the three spiritual arts books, quickly forming seals with the other hand. The Spirit portal appeared, and he put away the Red, looking down at Mon Black with a smile.


    "What do you think?" Mon Black grinned, revealing a sinister smile.


    "Blaze Regret, surrender immediately and hand over your void realms Stone. Come with me to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to plead for mercy. Perhaps my father will spare your life in light of your cooperation." Greed surged on Mon Star''s face as he threatened.


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly, standing quietly in place. To outsiders, it seemed he was struggling internally.


    "Hurry up and do as Young Captain Mon says! He''s being kind. If it were me, I wouldn''t let a thief like you off so easily!" Su Yu shouted harshly.


    "Did you hear that? Hurry up and hand over the void realms Stone!" Mon Star demanded sternly.


    "Do you think everyone is as brainless as her?" Blaze Regret smiled, then swiftly stored the three spiritual arts books into the void realms Stone. Suddenly, he swung his arm, releasing a black stream of light emitting a scorching aura, shooting towards Mon Black.


    "Captain Mon, this Fireburst Fruit is a gift for you!" Blaze Regret laughed as he jumped from the shattered rock pile, quickly blending into the crowd.


    "Get down!"


    Seeing the black streak of light whistling towards him, Mon Black''s face was suddenly filled with horror. He quickly grabbed the chair beneath him and threw it fiercely. With a clang, the black object fell into a deep pit on the high platform.


    "Fireburst Fruit!" Mon Star shivered upon hearing the name and instinctively dropped to the ground. A gray white spiritual energy covered his entire body, transforming into hard rock. It was evident that this was Mon Star''s life saving defensive spiritual art.


    However, after a while, the expected explosion didn''t occur.


    "What''s going on?" Su Yu, lying on the ground in an undignified manner, lifted her head slightly, revealing a puzzled expression.


    Mon Black swallowed nervously and slowly moved towards where the Fireburst Fruit had fallen. Moments later, his furious voice rang out: "Chase him! That kid tricked us!"


    Seeing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Mon Black''s face turned grim as he threw a black object to the ground. Once everyone got a clearer look, their expressions became quite colorful.


    The object was just an ordinary stone, its surface coated with a black substance emitting a scorching energy, which had misled everyone into thinking it was a Fireburst Fruit.


    "Relay the order to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group: Anyone who catches that boy will be rewarded with 200,000 gold coins and a book of offensive spiritual arts!" Mon Black shouted angrily.


    Upon hearing this, greed appeared in everyone''s eyes. Not only was Blaze Regret now incapable of resisting, but the conditions Mon Black offered were enough to make them risk their lives.


    "200,000 gold coins! Haha, that boy is dead for sure!" Su Yu laughed heartily, waving her hand. A black panther leapt out, and she immediately mounted it, chasing in the direction Blaze Regret had fled.


    Seeing this, many spirit hunters quickly summoned their own spirit beasts and followed as fast as they could, fearing that Su Yu would get the reward first.


    "Blaze Regret, please don''t let anything happen to you," Yun Suhaila bit her lip lightly, surrounded by rolling sand waves and the chaotic sound of footsteps.


    "Third Uncle, let''s join the chase too," Mon Star said, turning his head to look at Mon Black.


    "No rush. Let them test the waters first. What if Blaze Regret does have a Fireburst Fruit?" Mon Black said with a sinister smile, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, causing the surrounding members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to quickly lower their heads, not daring to make eye contact.

    ...


    "Snap!"


    Leaping over a fallen, decayed giant tree, Blaze Regret paused for a moment, his eyes cautiously scanning the area. After confirming there were no ambushes ahead, he took a deep breath and swiftly darted forward.


    "Damn it, they''re chasing so closely! My spiritual power is nearly exhausted!"


    Hearing the shouts coming from behind, Blaze Regret cursed under his breath. The cold wind rushing into his mouth made him quickly shut it and continue to dash forward desperately.


    At this moment, the exquisite crystal nucleus between his two spirit portals was drawing a small portion of spiritual power from the second spirit gate, sustaining the consumption of his Flame Step.


    "He''s just ahead! Quick, chase him!"

 Chapter 164 - 164 kill All

    Hearing Su Yu''s excited shout not far behind, Blaze Regret''s face darkened, and a cold killing intent flashed through his eyes.


    It was one thing for the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to join the chase, but even these idle spirit hunters were after him now. Did they really think Blaze Regret was easy to bully?


    As he dashed forward, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly narrowed. He quickly ducked, and a sharp whistling sound passed by his ear. A dark arrow whizzed past, embedding itself in a tree trunk with a snap before dissipating.


    "Haha, where do you think you''re running?" Su Yu, riding on her Black Wind Panther, looked at Blaze Regret arrogantly.


    "Old hag!" Blaze Regret glanced back, veered to the right, and ran into the dense forest. His words made Su Yu''s face stiffen instantly.


    "You''ll pay for that!" Su Yu''s eyes filled with fury as she ordered the Black Wind Panther to chase in Blaze Regret''s direction. Behind her, a large group of people followed closely, scaring the native spirit beasts of the forest into hiding.


    "Whoosh!"


    Blaze Regret''s ears twitched as the sound of flowing water reached him from up ahead, causing his heart to tighten. No way, please don''t let there be a river ahead he was a notorious landlubber!


    His running steps gradually slowed to a stop. Looking at the seemingly bottomless rapids in front of him, a bitter smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s lips. He had feared this exact scenario. Judging by the dark, swirling depths, this river was certainly not shallow.


    "Run! Come on, keep running if you dare!" Su Yu, riding on her Black Wind Panther, waved her hand at Blaze Regret with a show of arrogance. Behind her, numerous spirit hunters emerged from the forest, their eyes fixated on Blaze Regret with greedy and menacing looks.


    "Aren''t you great at running? Take another step if you dare," Su Yu taunted, her voice filled with haughty pride.


    "Hand over the void realms Stone, or we''ll tear you to pieces!"


    "Hahaha, summon your Two Tail Demon Flame Cat and dissolve the spirit contract. Maybe after I take it, I''ll consider letting you die a less painful death!"


    "Why waste words with him? Just cut his tendons, break his legs, and cripple his spirit portals. Whatever we want will be ours for the taking!"


    A fierce light flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he was about to use his Flame Step to take a few spirit hunters down with him. Suddenly, a delicate, unraveling sound echoed from his second spirit portal.


    His eyebrows raised with delight, and he slowly lifted his face, his voice tinged with coldness as he spoke:


    "Do you really think that with just you worthless lot, you can take my life?"


    "What kind of trick are you playing?!" Su Yu''s face changed suddenly. Wasn''t this guy a fire element spirit master? Why did I sense a cold aura just now?


    "Want to see?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled slightly as a light blue spirit portal quickly sketched itself into existence before him. The Ice Control Irenix fluttered its icy wings gracefully and slowly emerged from the spirit Portal, causing the temperature in the area to plummet.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the terrified eyes of Su Yu and the others, an extremely cold mist surged out with the flutter of the Ice Control Irenix''s wings, sweeping over the frightened crowd like a tidal wave.


    "Run!"


    However, the panicked voice that someone had just uttered was abruptly cut off, as all the spirit hunters and spirit beasts were instantly frozen, transformed into lifelike ice sculptures.


    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix looked at everyone in a daze, then turned its head to stare intently at Blaze Regret, its eyes showing a hint of excitement for the first time.


    "Tier eight." A faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face as he reached out his hand and gently stroked the Ice Control Irenix''s icy wings. The cold touch did not cause him any discomfort.


    The Ice Lake Stone Flower truly lived up to its reputation as a rare spiritual item. Not only had it completely transformed the Ice Control Irenix''s body structure, but it had also caused its tier to jump by three levels during its slumber.


    "Swish!"


    The Ice Control Irenix turned around, the emotions that had barely surfaced in its eyes vanishing instantly, becoming icy cold again. As its wings flapped, countless icy feathers shot out, quickly piercing through the terrified spirit hunters. The ice pillars shattered, and their bodies turned into fragments scattered across the ground.


    Strangely, there was not a single drop of blood seeping out from the ice covered bodies.


    In the center of the scene, only one lonely ice pillar stood.


    Glancing curiously at the ice pillar encasing Su Yu, Blaze Regret shook his head with a smile. This sole remaining ice pillar was clearly left behind by the Ice Control Irenix on purpose.


    "Spare me... please don''t kill me. I''ll do anything!" Su Yu, seeing the fate of the other spirit hunters, was filled with terror. His broken and intermittent voice came from within the ice pillar, full of pleading.


    "With your actions, how can I spare you? Without my numerous trump cards, the one who would have met a tragic end would certainly be me."


    Blaze Regret shook his head slightly. Having roamed the world for so long, he had fully experienced the ruthlessness of these spirit hunters. Letting them go would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, and who knows when they might come back with their vicious claws.


    With a gentle wave of his hand, the ice pillar encasing Su Yu slowly toppled over, rolling down into the river and sinking into the abyss. The dark riverbed, with shadows occasionally darting through, filled Su Yu with utter despair.


    Blaze Regret clapped his hands lightly and looked somewhat helplessly at the remains on the ground. He then gave the Ice Control Irenix a reproachful glance. While the killing was swift, as an observer, he couldn''t help but feel extremely uncomfortable.

 Chapter 165 - 165 Mon Den

    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix innocently blinked its large eyes and gently flapped its wings, causing several surrounding ice crystals to collide with each other.


    "Hehe, I knew it, the Ice Control Irenix was bound to awaken today." Master Magi''s after the fact laughter suddenly rang out.


    "You didn''t even lend a hand. What if I had died?" Blaze Regret glanced irritably at the void realm stone.


    "With these worthless foes, how could they possibly take your life?" Master Magi mimicked Blaze Regret''s tone, still laughing shamelessly.


    Suddenly, the Ice Control Irenix''s eyes narrowed. Its icy wings spread wide, shielding Blaze Regret behind it, while its gaze fixed firmly on the dense forest ahead.


    A cold aura, entirely different from the Ice Control Irenix''s, began to spread silently. Threads of ice, like a spider''s web, interwove among the branches and leaves. Although they appeared random, they had actually sealed off Blaze Regret''s retreat completely.


    "A imperial tier spirit beast? Is it the grand leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?" The lightness in Blaze Regret''s eyes vanished, replaced by deep seriousness. Although the Ice Control Irenix''s strength had greatly increased, there was still a significant gap between a warrior tier spirit beast and a Imperial tier spirit beast, making it extremely challenging to bridge.


    Unless the opponent was somehow restrained by the ice element, winning seemed almost impossible.


    "The Ice Silk Formation. If I''m not mistaken, that spirit master''s spirit beast should be the Ice Silkworm," Master Magi said slowly after a moment of silence.


    Amidst the rustling leaves, a snow white Ice Silkworm crawled out. Behind it, a middle aged man with an indifferent expression walked out slowly. He glanced at the ice blocks on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    "You really went all out," the man said indifferently as he looked up at Blaze Regret.


    "If I hadn''t, I''d probably be a hundred times worse off than them right now," Blaze Regret shrugged, sounding somewhat helpless.


    "You''re quite knowledgeable for someone so young. Indeed, these people couldn''t be left alive," the middle aged man said with a light laugh as he glanced at the river behind Blaze Regret. "So this is the Blackwater River. It''s said to be thousands of feet deep, with countless water type spirit beasts within. Falling in means certain death."


    "What exactly are you trying to say?" Blaze Regret frowned, his eyes scanning the sides. He noticed that the distant surroundings were also covered in ice silk. The spiritual power of a Imperial tier spirit beast far surpassed that of a warrior tier beast, and even with such expenditure, the Ice Silkworm showed no signs of fatigue.


    "You have two choices now: one, jump down; two, cripple your spirit Portal and come back with me obediently. I can spare your life," the middle aged man said with a faint smile, confident that anyone with a brain would choose the second option.


    "Can you at least tell me who you are?" Blaze Regret sighed, seeming very helpless.


    "Mon Den, the second leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group," the middle aged man said with a light smile.


    "Alright, Mon Den, I''ll remember you," Blaze Regret grinned, then, to the middle aged man''s astonishment, turned and jumped into the Blackwater River. Only his laughter echoed along the riverbank.


    "Wash your neck and wait. Next time we meet, Blaze Regret will take your life!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Plop!"


    Blaze Regret''s body fell into the Black Water River, splashing water everywhere. Many broken ice pieces on the riverbank were washed back into the river by the returning water.


    Wiping the splashed water from his face, Mon Den stared blankly at the rippling water surface, utterly incredulous. He could not believe that Blaze Regret had actually jumped into the Black Water River.


    This was the perilous Black Water River, a place even powerful spirit masters dared not easily approach!


    Behind him, branches and leaves rustled. Mon Black and Mon Star hurriedly emerged from the forest.


    "Second Uncle, where is that brat Blaze Regret?" Mon Star glanced at the broken ice on the ground, his heart tightening. He then turned to Mon Den and anxiously asked.


    The entire Draconic Spirit Hunter Group only had three offensive spirit techniques, which were so precious that no one used them lightly. They were the treasures of the group. Now, all three spirit techniques had fallen into Blaze Regret''s hands, which is why Mon Star was so anxious.


    Mon Den, his face dark and silent, only pointed to the now calm river surface.


    "Haha, Second Uncle, I knew it! You threw that brat into the river, didn''t you?" Mon Star laughed, thinking himself clever.


    "He jumped in himself!" Mon Den''s voice was icy, his cold eyes glaring fiercely at Mon Star. Those were three offensive spirit techniques; even outside, each one would fetch a sky high price!


    Hearing this, the smile on Mon Star''s face froze instantly. His mouth opened slightly, and his heart clenched.


    This time, when he returned to the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group, he feared he wouldn''t escape punishment. Thinking of the pain endured by previous members who had made mistakes, Mon Star''s legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.


    ...


    In the dim water, everywhere he looked were bizarrely shaped black shadows, swaying gently with the water flow. Most of them were water plants.


    "Gurgle~"


    Encased in a golden barrier, Blaze Regret looked at the creatures swimming past him, his face slightly pale. Fortunately, Master Magi was with him; otherwise, if it had been any other spirit master, they would have been devoured by the spirit beasts in the Black Water River within minutes.


    "You really have guts, jumping into this Black Water River of all places."


    Master Magi, who was in the same barrier as Blaze Regret, slightly curled his lips. Even he had been stunned when Blaze Regret jumped into the river.


    "I had no choice. Besides Mon Den, Mon Black was also following behind. If I fought head on, I would have died even faster." Blaze Regret shrugged. If Master Magi had intervened, it would have been different, but he knew that unless a powerful spirit master appeared, Master Magi would not lend a hand, leaving him to his fate.

 Chapter 166 - 166 Jade Spirit Pearl

    As they talked, a thick black shadow parted the water and slowly swam over. A jet of inky water sprayed out, hitting the surface of the barrier.


    "Boom!"


    The barrier shook violently. Inside, Blaze Regret felt as if an earthquake had struck. It took a while for the barrier to stabilize, its surface covered in black liquid.


    "A Water Ink Turtle, a mid tier eighth grade spirit beast," Blaze Regret said, his face darkening as he looked at the attacker. It was a massive turtle with a hard shell on its back, as heavy as a towering hill.


    Swimming in front of the barrier, the Water Ink Turtle looked greedily at Blaze Regret inside, its eyes gleaming with bloodlust. To it, a spirit master like Blaze Regret was merely a weak prey.


    It extended its claw and fiercely struck the spirit powered barrier, trying to shatter it. Invisible water waves spread out from the point of impact.


    "You''ve got some nerve!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes turned cold. The Ice Control Irenix he controlled appeared, its wings sharp as blades. It drew an icy blue arc, instantly severing the claw that the Water Ink Turtle was using to strike the barrier.


    Although the fire attribute spirit beast Red couldn''t survive underwater, the Ice Control Irenix wasn''t much affected, its movement speed only slightly reduced. Due to certain special reasons, the Ice Control Irenix could even perform better underwater than on land.


    The extended claw split in two, the severed part slowly sinking to the riverbed. The Water Ink Turtle retracted its limbs in pain, then fiercely rammed its shell against the barrier surrounding Blaze Regret. The dull thudding sounds echoed through the water.


    "Ice Control Irenix, freeze it!"


    Blaze Regret''s sharp voice rang out. The Ice Control Irenix''s wings moved silently, emitting a bone chilling cold energy that enveloped the Water Ink Turtle layer by layer. In an instant, it formed a massive block of ice.


    Encased in the ice, the Water Ink Turtle''s eyes filled with panic. No matter how much it struggled, it couldn''t break through the pure ice.


    "Ding!"


    The Ice Control Irenix moved, appearing above the ice block. Its right wing paused briefly before slicing down mercilessly. Instantly, cracks spread rapidly across the ice block. With a loud sound, the Water Ink Turtle inside was shattered into countless pieces, drifting in the river. The black shell floated for a moment before slowly sinking to the riverbed.


    "So this is the Ice Control Irenix''s power," Blaze Regret''s eyes gleamed. The Ice Control Irenix''s terrifying attack method was indeed hard to defend against. Once an enemy was frozen, it basically meant instant death.


    Flapping its icy wings, the Ice Control Irenix sliced through the water, returning to Blaze Regret''s side, vigilantly scanning the surroundings. Underwater, its sensing ability was far superior to that of a spirit master.


    "Little guy, it''s safe here now. Shall we go up?" Master Magi suddenly pointed to the water''s surface and asked.


    "No rush. I remember there''s a herb called Blue Ming Grass growing underwater. It''s used to make Qi Restoration Pills. Although it also grows on land, it''s much scarcer there than at the riverbed," Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed as he shook his head.


    "You just want to see if there''s any treasure in the Black Water River, don''t you?" Master Magi saw through Blaze Regret''s little scheme without hesitation and laughed. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Since we''re already here, wouldn''t it be a waste to leave empty handed? That''s not the Blaze Regret way," Blaze Regret said confidently, puffing out his chest.


    "Suit yourself," Master Magi said, shaking his head with a mix of amusement and exasperation. He then placed his palm against the barrier, infusing it with a surge of powerful energy, making the barrier even thicker.


    The danger level in the Black Water River was no less than that of remote mountain ranges. In just a few minutes, dozens of water type spirit beasts had perished under the Ice Control Irenix''s icy wings.


    "Crash!"


    As the barrier moved to the riverbed, what initially appeared to be calm algae suddenly coiled towards Blaze Regret like a centipede, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.


    Centipede Algae, a low tier warrior grade spirit beast, could survive underwater just like some wood type spirit beasts.


    Frowning slightly, Blaze Regret watched as the Ice Control Irenix swiftly dispatched the Centipede Algae. Just as he was about to leave, his gaze fell upon something. Concealed beneath the numerous Centipede Algae, a brilliant river clam appeared in his sight, its shell glowing with a soft, luminous light.


    With the movement of the golden light shield, Blaze Regret slowly sank down. Seeing the death of the centipede algae, the small water type spirit beasts residing there scattered in all directions.


    "Boom!"


    The Ice Control Irenix gently tapped the clam shell with its icy wings. Instantly, several water jets shot out from the shell, sending it flying several meters away.


    "Jade River Clam?" A hint of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    The Jade River Clam is a high tier aquatic spirit beast. Though not rare, it is unique in that some Jade River Clams may contain a mystical item known as the Jade Spirit Pearl. Possessing this item allows one to move underwater without hindrance and even breathe.


    However, the probability of finding a Jade Spirit Pearl is quite low. On average, only one out of every ten Jade River Clams contains such a pearl, and once used, the mystical item automatically shatters.


    "Ice Control Irenix, pry open its shell," Blaze Regret''s deep voice commanded.


    Nodding slightly, the Ice Control Irenix extended its icy wings. Just as the Jade River Clam was about to spray water jets, the wings were jammed inside, and with a forceful pry, a brilliant round pearl shot out.


    "There really is one!" Blaze Regret excitedly caught the Jade Spirit Pearl in his hand and looked at the Jade River Clam in astonishment. This creature was smart enough to know what to do to protect itself.

 Chapter 167 - 167 Black Water Flood Dragon

    Holding the Jade Spirit Pearl in his right hand, Blaze Regret infused it with spiritual energy. Immediately, a thin membrane appeared around his body. After the Master Magi withdrew the golden light shield, the delicate membrane effortlessly kept the river water at bay.


    Even more astonishing to Blaze Regret was that his vision underwater had greatly improved. He could clearly see scenes dozens of meters away.


    "This is truly a great item!" Blaze Regret smiled as he moved to the right, where dozens of Blue Inscription Grass plants were growing on a protruding rock. This rare medicinal herb could not be found in ordinary shops.


    Under the protection of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret collected all the Blue Inscription Grass, which emitted a faint blue glow, and stored them in the void Realm Stone. He was just short of one Lava Fruit, and then he would have all the ingredients needed to refine the Qi Recovery Pill.


    "Blaze Regret, hide under the rock!"


    Master Magi''s voice suddenly echoed. Without thinking, Blaze Regret sank down. After a while, the river remained still. Just as he started to feel puzzled, a chilling black shadow slowly swam by.


    Although the black shadow seemed to move slowly to Blaze Regret, the watertype spirit beasts were terrified, frantically fleeing in the opposite direction. Some with special abilities quickly burrowed into the riverbed mud.


    "Bloop, bloop~"


    Transparent bubbles rose, and a spirit beast resembling a long snake swam by. Its body was covered with cold, sinister scales, and a pair of enormous transparent wings extended from its sides, making its already agile body even more maneuverable.


    "A Black Water Flood Dragon?" Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat at the sight of the approaching figure. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Black Water Flood Dragon starts at a high tier imperial grade, but this one had already reached a low tier lord grade. In the Black water River, it was undoubtedly a dominant force!


    The Black Water Flood Dragon opened its bloody maw and bit into a Water Ink Turtle. With a crack, the turtle''s shell shattered, and its crimson blood spread through the murky riverbed. The hiding spirit beasts held their breath in fear.


    The Water Ink Turtle was large, and even the Black Water Flood Dragon took nearly a quarter of an hour to finish devouring it. The fullness in its belly made its swimming movements slow considerably.


    "Phew!"


    Seeing the Black Water Flood Dragon leave, Blaze Regret quietly exhaled in relief. Beside him, Master Magi''s eyes suddenly narrowed, staring intently at a particular scale on the Black Water Flood Dragon.


    "What''s wrong?" Blaze Regret asked Master Magi in confusion.


    "Remember, little one, when I told you about mystic Beasts?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret and spoke slowly.


    "Have you found its trace?" Blaze Regret''s breath caught, and his gaze swept around urgently.


    Mystic Beasts are anomalies among spirit beasts. Each one has the ability to challenge across levels. Even the powerful spirit masters at the summit of the continent covet mystic Beasts. Owning one is akin to having a ticket to becoming a future superpower!


    "Wood attribute," Master Magi suddenly spoke.


    "What?" Blaze Regret turned back, looking at Master Magi in surprise.


    "Did you see that leaf under the Black Water Flood Dragon''s scales? It probably came from a wood attributed mystic Beast," Master Magi pointed at the Black Water Flood Dragon and said softly.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched. What was this about? He thought they''d found a mystic Beast, but it turned out to be just a leaf! That kind of thing, he could easily collect an entire pocketful of in any forest!


    "Don''t be in a hurry. That leaf looks very fresh, likely having fallen off not long ago. At least we can determine that the mystic Beast is still active within the Sun Moon Empire and isn''t too far from here," Master Magi explained upon seeing Blaze Regret''s speechless expression.


    "If we retrieve that leaf, can we trace the mystic Beast from its aura?" Blaze Regret''s eyes brightened, and he asked urgently.


    "The aura of a mystic Beast is very distinctive, so it is feasible," Master Magi nodded gently. As he looked up, he saw Blaze Regret already clutching the jade Spirit Pearl and rushing out at top speed.


    "Are you out of your mind?" Master Magi''s expression changed slightly. The Black Water Flood Dragon was a lord grade spirit beast, and Blaze Regret was as vulnerable as a child in front of it, utterly defenseless!


    After swiftly dispatching a few water type spirit beasts that suddenly appeared, Master Magi hurriedly followed. With his extensive knowledge, he naturally understood how enticing a mystic Beast was to a spirit master. Blaze Regret''s reaction was not surprising at all.


    There was once a large empire called the Black Rock Empire, where a water attributed mystic Beast named Seven Star Child appeared. It instantly caused a bloody storm, with even powerful Spirit sovereigns fighting to the death. The number of fallen Spirit king experts could fill an entire city.


    If Blaze Regret had heard this, he would have been astonished. Even the monarch of the Sun Moon Empire didn''t possess the power of a Spirit sovereigns. A single Spirit sovereigns could easily dominate the entire Sun Moon Empire. Such a powerful entity was still too far beyond his reach.


    The Black Water Flood Dragon, sensing the disturbance behind it, glanced back. In its enormous eyes, a trace of ferocity flashed.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Black Water Flood Dragon suddenly turned around, and from its wide open mouth, a massive water column, about ten feet wide, shot out, tearing through the river''s resistance, and headed straight for Blaze Regret.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Prism!"


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s command, the Ice Control Irenix''s wings fluttered, and a bone chilling cold gathered in front of it, forming a round mirror. The shiny ice surface stood out conspicuously in the dim river water.


    The water column collided with the Ice Prism, emitting a cracking sound as the hard mirror instantly shattered.

 Chapter 168 - 168 Black Water Flood Dragon 2

    With a flash of its figure, the water column, containing immense energy, shot out from beside the Ice Control Irenix, instantly obliterating the bodies of countless spirit beasts, creating a straight line of blood mist in the river water.


    Master Magi, who had arrived, saw Blaze Regret quietly take out a fiery red spiritual spell from the Void realm Stone, and his mouth twitched.


    This kid has a good plan, but unfortunately, he lacks experience. Water attribute spirit beasts can''t be dealt with in this way!


    In the dim waters of the river, the Black Water Flood Dragon stared coldly at the distant Ice Control Irenix. Its mouth opened and closed constantly, spraying out jets of water that carved out marks in the river.


    "Crack!"


    The ice prism in front of Ice Control Irenix had just formed when it shattered under the impact of the water jets. Thankfully, the distance between them was considerable, and the resistance of the river water slowed down the speed of the jets significantly. So, despite the chaotic dodging, Ice Control Irenix remained unscathed by the water jets.


    Seeing its attacks repeatedly miss, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Black Water Flood Dragon''s sinister eyes. It opened its mouth, and the surrounding river water, as if drawn by some force, surged towards its mouth, forming a rapidly spinning vortex. As more water was drawn in, the vortex became increasingly dark and deep.


    This was a powerful strike by the Black Water Flood Dragon. Not to mention Ice Control Irenix, even a Lord grade spirit beast would meet its end under this spiritual technique.


    Blaze Regret''s dark eyes were filled with seriousness as he gazed at the powerful spiritual energy emanating from the vortex. The fire attribute spiritual technique in his hand had already transformed into information flooding his mind, and a wave of scorching energy rippled from his palm.


    Spiritual Art, Flame Domain, a very special type of offensive spiritual technique that could create a field of fire, causing immense pain to the opponent''s spirit beast while leaving one''s own spirit beast unaffected.


    During the stages of Spirit novice and Spirit warrior, humans were mostly spectators in spirit beast battles, unable to help their spirit beasts much besides synchronizing their spiritual power. However, as their spiritual power increased, powerful spiritual techniques could gradually be performed, potentially altering the outcome of a battle through cooperation with their spirit beasts.


    Noticing the disturbance beside him, Black Water Flood Dragon glanced at Blaze Regret with disdain. A mere Spirit warrior could be swatted to death with a single tail swipe, and yet he dared to make a move against it?


    "Let''s do this!"


    Blaze Regret raised his face, watching the Black Water Flood Dragon, which was about to unleash its vortex. He clapped his hands together forcefully and then suddenly separated them. A field of fire instantly expanded, and just as the river water was about to drench it, the Flame Domain rapidly contracted, condensing entirely into Blaze Regret''s palm to form a slowly rotating fireball.


    The fireball was surrounded by two layers of protective barriers: one being the Sun Flame Wall and the other a membrane produced by the Jade Spirit Pearl.


    Encased in these two layers of membranes, the fire reached an extremely terrifying temperature, with an intensely deep color.


    "Go!" With a wave of Blaze Regret''s hand, the fireball shot out like a streak of crimson light, piercing through the river water and striking the scales of the Black Water Flood Dragon. However, it did not explode; instead, it merely wriggled, enveloping the scale and heating it to a red hot temperature.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, the vortex in front of the Black Water Flood Dragon shot out violently, sweeping towards Ice Control Irenix. The river water churned tumultuously wherever it passed, and some spirit beasts caught in it exploded into a mist of blood in an instant.


    "Come back!" Blaze Regret''s palm opened, and the second spirit portal constructed itself in a flash. Just as the vortex was about to hit Ice Control Irenix, it was remotely retrieved.


    The vortex, now missing its target, smashed into a towering rock. The powerful impact wreaked havoc, causing the river water to churn wildly. Waves surged skyward, reaching several dozen feet high. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With Ice Control Irenix suddenly disappearing, the Black Water Flood Dragon''s eyes showed a hint of confusion. Just as it was about to flap its transparent wings to search, a cold sensation came from its right side, followed by a crisp sound of something shattering.


    "Success!"


    Seeing the slowly floating green leaf, Blaze Regret''s face lit up with joy. From the beginning, he had no intention of fighting the Black Water Flood Dragon to the death. Even with his full effort, he might not have been able to injure it, as it was, after all, a true lord grade spirit beast!


    Therefore, he first used a compressed version of the Flame Domain to heat the scale with the embedded leaf to the extreme. Then he covered it with ice. Under the alternating temperatures, the scale quickly became unable to withstand the pressure and eventually shattered.


    With the help of the Jade Spirit Pearl, Blaze Regret darted through the water like a fish, excitedly grabbing the leaf into his hand. With this item, he might one day find a true wood elemental Mystic Beast!


    Below Blaze Regret, the Black Water Flood Dragon''s eyes filled with uncontrollable rage. The shattering of its scale felt like a provocation. It spread its transparent wings and charged at Blaze Regret.


    "So fast!"


    Noticing the Black Water Flood Dragon''s sudden speed increase, Blaze Regret''s expression turned serious. A lord grade spirit beast was truly terrifying. Just breaking one of its scales had nearly drained the spiritual power of two spirit portals. Such a being was far beyond what he could handle at his current level!


    He poured his remaining spiritual power desperately into the Jade Spirit Pearl. Before the Black Water Flood Dragon could reach him, Blaze Regret shot through the river like an arrow, leaving a long trail behind him.

 Chapter 169 - 169 Black Water Flood Dragon 3

    However, as one of the overlords of the Black water River, the Black Water Flood Dragon would not be outdone by a mere Spirit warrior. With its transparent wings vibrating, the distance between them began to close visibly.


    "Damn it!"


    The stench permeated through the river water, causing Blaze Regret''s face to turn grim. In desperation, he retrieved several Blue Ming Grass from his void realms stone and stuffed them into his mouth. Instantly, his nearly depleted spiritual power began to recover slowly.


    "That''s ruthless," Master Magi observed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.


    Refining Blue Ming Grass in such a manner would undoubtedly leave significant side effects. At the very least, Blaze Regret would endure days of pain afterward. Yet, despite this, he did not seek Master Magi''s assistance, showing a maturity far beyond his previous self.


    Glancing back, Blaze Regret saw the hideous face of the Black Water Flood Dragon almost upon him. Terrified, he dove downward, narrowly avoiding the creature''s swift shadow above.


    "Smack!"


    As it passed, the Black Water Flood Dragon''s extensive hunting experience showed; its tail lashed out fiercely, striking Blaze Regret''s chest like a sledgehammer and sending him hurtling backward. Blood quickly spread through the river water.


    With no time to wipe away the blood from his mouth, Blaze Regret frantically channeled his spiritual power. Before the Black Water Flood Dragon could turn around, he shot upward, breaking through the water''s surface with a splash and crashing onto the ground.


    "Ugh!" S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Coughing up another mouthful of blood, Blaze Regret clutched his chest and staggered backward. The river''s surface swelled, and the Black Water Flood Dragon leaped high, its bloody maw opening wide, relentlessly pursuing Blaze Regret.


    A water type spirit beast that can survive on land! This was entirely beyond Blaze Regret''s expectations.


    Pale faced, Blaze Regret swung his hand forcefully, sending the shattered Jade Spirit Pearl flying towards the Black Water Flood Dragon. The pearl had already fractured under his overuse and was now useless.


    Brilliant fragments scattered in the air as the Black Water Flood Dragon charged through them, ready to devour Blaze Regret in one bite.


    "You beast, get lost!"


    Master Magi''s furious shout echoed, and in a flash of golden light, several pillars of light appeared out of thin air, weaving around the Black Water Flood Dragon. If it dared to move forward even a bit, these pillars would mercilessly pierce through it.


    The Black Water Flood Dragon''s transparent wings halted abruptly, and it looked at Master Magi in terror. Immediately, it swirled the water around it and fled into the Black Water River.


    "Saved!"


    Blaze Regret smiled in relief, then collapsed to the ground, his vision quickly fading into darkness.


    A green leaf was tightly clutched in his hand, lush and vibrant.


    The azure sky was as clear as a mirror, with clusters of fine clouds gently drifting. Below the sky, due to the gradually cooling climate, large swathes of leaves had turned golden.


    "Ugh..."


    Slowly opening his eyelids, Blaze Regret shook his slightly groggy head and looked around. Upon seeing Master Magi sitting on a rock, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.


    "Awake?" Master Magi''s lips curled into a faint smile when he saw Blaze Regret get up.


    Blaze Regret nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed a phosphorescent tiger lying deep inside a cave. The tiger''s docile appearance, lying there obediently, had no trace of majesty, resembling more of a well behaved kitten.


    "Did you do this?" Blaze Regret speechlessly looked at Master Magi. It was difficult to find another person who could make a imperial grade spirit beast so obedient.


    "Hehe, how is your body feeling?" Master Magi asked with a smile.


    Closing his eyelids, Blaze Regret felt for a moment. When he opened his eyes, a look of surprise surged within them because he discovered that his spiritual power had become much more robust compared to three days ago, clearly stepping into the ranks of a seventh tier spirit master!


    The advancement of a spirit master inevitably meant that the spirit beast would also improve. This meant that now, Red had also reached the high level seventh tier warrior grade!


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret hurriedly opened the first spiritual portal. The lively Red immediately jumped out, pouncing into his arms, its soft fur feeling extremely comfortable.


    "Don''t be too quick to celebrate. Although your strength has increased, the side effects are not small," Master Magi said with a faint smile, shaking his head.


    In the Hildan Arena, Red''s continuous battles made it normal for it to ascend a tier. However, due to Blaze Regret''s reckless actions in the Blackwater River, the spiritual portal received a strong impact. By a twist of fate, Red managed to ascend two tiers.


    It was precisely this reckless behavior that caused the spiritual power within Blaze Regret''s spiritual portal to become extremely mixed, with a lot of impurities from the Blue Ming Grass.


    "So many impurities," Blaze Regret frowned slightly. After eating a little something, he sat cross legged and began to eliminate the impurities within his spiritual portal.


    "Buzz!"


    As Blaze Regret closed his eyes, the location of the spiritual portal on his chest suddenly began to emit two different colors of light. Due to the swift circulation of this light, flames and ice simultaneously appeared on his outstretched hands.


    Tiny blue fragments were forced out of Blaze Regret''s body along his meridians, gathering in his hands. These were the impurities from the Blue Ming Grass. The beads of sweat on Blaze Regret''s forehead indicated that this process was far from pleasant.


    The sun outside the cave set three times, and it was only when it rose for the fourth time that Blaze Regret slowly opened his eyes. With a flick of his fingers, a blue light embedded itself into the cave wall with a snap.


    "The spiritual power of the seventh tier is nearly twice as robust as that of the fifth tier!"

 Chapter 170 - 170 Impurity

    As Blaze Regret was cultivating at night, there someone going into the cave. Said Master Magi.


    Blaze Regret open his eyes, and the Red instantly jumped up, arched its back, and leaped outside!


    Blaze Regret dared not be careless. At this moment, the sound of the wind breaking was heard, and a beast master in a gray Daoist robe rushed in.


    The gray robed spirit master seemed young, his face somewhat sun darkened, with a hurried expression.


    "Fellow spirit master, please run quickly. There are two bandit spirit master behind who specialize in ambushing lonely spirit master like us!" The gray robed spirit master didn''t slow down.


    "Roar!" The Red bared its teeth, launching a Fireball Technique at the person!


    The person instantly retreated dozens of meter.


    "Fellow spirit master, are you with those bandits?" the gray robed spirit master quickly asked.


    "No, I''m not with them; you''re the one with the bandits!" Blaze Regret shook his head, having already activated the spirit technique.


    "Fellow spirit master, it''s a misunderstanding! Those two behind really are bandits!!"


    "I have a treasure map. If you assist me in defeating the two bandits behind us, I''ll share the treasure map with you!"


    "It''s the cave dwelling of a lord tier spirit master, with several spirit technique and weapon!"


    "You sure know how to tell stories, spinning two tales in one breath!" Blaze Regret was skeptical.


    The spirit master then indeed produced a treasure map.


    "Fellow spirit master, see for yourself?"


    "If it''s truly a misunderstanding, then please surrender, and I''ll deal with the bandits!"


    "I''m a spirit hunter from the the Ace Spirit Hunter from the hildan town; our reputation is impeccable!" Blaze Regret replied, not believing a word from the gray robed spirit master.


    In these times, anyone who can break into a cave dwelling isn''t running away it''s clear they''re here to collaborate with the spirit master outside.


    If fleeing, with the vastness of the world, there are plenty of places to run. Entering a cave dwelling is like stepping into a dead end.


    Blaze Regret continued to persuade the gray robed spirit master to lay down his weapon. Meanwhile, the Red unleashed another blue Fireball Technique!


    The countless hours Blaze Regret had spent training finally paid off.


    The gray robed spirit master, was instantly engulfed by the blue fireballs, reduced to a charred corpse.


    Even the treasure map flew far away.


    At that moment, two black clad spirit master entered the cave entrance. Seeing the fallen gray robed spirit master, they were enraged!


    "Well done!"


    With that, they each wielded the swords, slashing towards him. One was a mid level warrior grade spirit master at the seventh tier, and the other at the sixth tier, both exuding a fierce aura!


    Inside the cave dwelling, the Red unleashed another barrage of blue fireballs.


    The two flying swords were blasted away.


    The immense wave of fire seemed to devour everything in its path.


    "A late level warrior tier spirit beast!" The two spirit master hesitated for a moment.


    They hurriedly retreated out of the cave.


    Blaze Regret didn''t pursue them, knowing the cave dwelling gave him an advantage, as did the ironwood token.


    His main concern was whether there were more enemies outside and what kind of technique the mid level warrior tier seven garde possessed!


    At that moment, the two spirit master began to attack the cave dwelling, intending to bury Blaze Regret alive!


    Blaze Regret then ask Red to finish this fast because did not want to alert his enemy. Just as he was preparing to take them down one by one, the two spirit master fled.


    Witnessing this, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Red and he hadn''t exerted their full strength, a complete victory against them wasn''t guaranteed. Their retreat was a fortunate turn for him. He went back to the cave to start training again


    Blaze Regret stood up, feeling the surging spiritual power within him, and couldn''t help but sigh in relief. The impurities from the Lan Ming Grass had finally been completely expelled from his body, bringing about a sense of comfort.


    With his current strength, he could barely sustain summoning both Red and the Ice Control Irenix simultaneously.


    "That leaf..." Blaze Regret suddenly remembered something and eagerly looked at Master Magi.


    "Don''t worry, it''s with me," Master Magi said with a smile. With a wave of his hand, the delicate leaf shot towards Blaze Regret like a bolt of lightning. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Can you sense it?" Blaze Regret turned the vibrant green leaf in his hand, his face glowing with excitement. This was a legendary Mystic Beast, known for being elusive. He hadn''t expected to find a trace of one in the small town of Hildan.


    "The aura on this leaf is very faint, but it''s not impossible to track," Master Magi said with a smile. "On the continent, there is a wood type spirit beast called the Tongling Bamboo. The droplets secreted from the sixth segment of its leaves have the ability to temporarily enhance the aura of objects they come into contact with.


    If you can find a drop, you might be able to roughly track the current location of this wood type Mystic Beast."


    Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow in surprise, "A drop of water that magical?"


    Master Magi shook his head with a smile, "Don''t think too highly of it. The Tongling Bamboo is a social spirit beast. When one is isolated, it will smear the droplets from the sixth segment of its leaves onto the leaf of a member of its group to find its way back to the group. It''s just a small trick, really."


    Hearing this, the stone in Blaze Regret''s heart finally settled. As long as there was a way, all the previous efforts would not be in vain.


    Placing the leaf into the void realms stone, Blaze Regret patted Red and headed towards the cave entrance. Behind him, the Phosphorescent Tiger shook its head excitedly, relieved that these people were finally leaving, no longer having to live in fear!

 Chapter 171 - 171 Alex Yandy

    In the dense forest, several spirit hunters with grim expressions meticulously searched the mountains. The Dragon emblem on their chests caused all other spirit hunters who saw them to hurriedly avoid them.


    The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group was the largest force in Hildan Town. Not only did they have the powerful leaders the Head and Second Leader, both imperial tier spirit masters but even the Third Leader, Mo Gang, was capable of sweeping through any spirit hunting group. A ninth tier spirit warrior grade, he was a formidable figure in hildan Town.


    "Sigh, it''s been days. Why does the Head still insist on searching?" One of the spirit hunters, chewing on a dry piece of jerky, muttered with a slight pout. The leaders were being overly cautious; it was just a fifth tier spirit warrior, after all. Did they really need to go to such lengths?


    "I heard he jumped into the Black water River. If he didn''t die from that, it would defy all logic," another spirit hunter nodded in agreement.


    "Stop complaining. That kid Blaze Regret, with his fifth tier strength, defeated Aishi Graze and caused chaos in the Hildan Arena. Unless they see his dead body, the Young Leader and the other leaders won''t rest," a spirit hunter quickly interjected upon hearing their conversation, noticing that Alex Yandy, standing at the front, was already looking displeased.


    Alex Yandy, the head of their small team, had been in the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group for a few years and was still stuck in this position, feeling extremely frustrated. So, whenever a task came up, he eagerly took it on.


    "If he''s that strong, wouldn''t we be doomed if we encountered him?" The spirit hunter who had spoken earlier, clearly lacking situational awareness, exclaimed, oblivious to Alex Yandy''s growing displeasure.


    "What''s all the noise about? He''s just a fifth tier spirit warrior. How strong can he be? Even if he survived the Black water River, he''d be severely injured. If I see him, I''ll crush him into pulp and toss him into a dung pit!" Alex Yandy shouted impatiently, causing the others to fall silent instantly.


    "Rustle!" S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At that moment, there was a disturbance in the forest ahead. A blue clad woman, upon seeing Alex Yandy and his group, quickly turned and fled in the opposite direction.


    "Ken Aina from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?"


    Alex Yandy squinted, a wicked smile forming on his lips. "After wandering in the mountains for so long, we''ve finally found some fun. This woman is much more exciting than those in the tavern. Brothers, catch her for me!"


    In the quiet forest, a graceful figure dashed swiftly, her pretty face covered in sweat. Behind her, a few spirit hunters with mocking expressions were closing in, the distance between them shrinking with each fallen leaf.


    "Damn it!"


    The sudden appearance of a horizontal log in her path made Ken Aina''s already pale face even paler. Thinking of the people chasing her, a sense of despair rose sharply in her heart.


    "Heh heh, why aren''t you running anymore?" Alex Yandy looked at the halted Ken Aina, a mocking smile playing on his lips. With a wave of his hand, the spirit hunters following him immediately surrounded Ken Aina.


    "Alex Yandy, don''t be too arrogant. If Uncle Yun Anuar finds out, he won''t let you off!" Ken Aina bit her lip and said harshly.


    "Tch, it''s just a small Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. What kind of waves can they make? Even if Yun Anuar comes, we''ll still do what we need to do." Alex Yandy licked his lips and smiled, the other spirit hunters from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group laughed loudly, their gazes towards Ken Aina becoming even more unscrupulous.


    Ken Aina''s delicate body trembled slightly, and she took several steps back. But the log behind her, like a mountain, blocked all her hopes of escape.


    "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Your Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group isn''t doing too well either. A kid named Blaze Regret tore down our Hildan Arena. If Yun Suhaila doesn''t do something to satisfy our deputy leader, heh heh..." Alex Yandy''s cold laughter continued, as if he was thoroughly enjoying toying with Ken Aina.


    "Blaze Regret?" Ken Aina was slightly stunned. She had just returned from outside and didn''t know what had happened in Hildan Town, so hearing the name left her momentarily distracted.


    "Impossible, it can''t be that Blaze family wastrel. Other than some alchemist skills, he''s a complete waste in cultivation.


    How could he come to Hildan Town and dare to tear down the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunting Group''s arena?" On the surface, Ken Aina''s expression was icy, but her mind was racing with thoughts, feeling a sudden discomfort at the thought of the boy who had embarrassed her at the Atlas Shop.


    "Alright, time to get down to business. Are you coming yourself, or should we do it?" Alex Yandy''s smile widened, and he took a step toward Ken Aina.


    "Over my dead body!"


    Ken Aina''s face hardened, and a surge of icy energy swept through the area. A spirit beast, resembling an ice flower, appeared beside her. With a shudder, it instantly shot an ice spike, gleaming coldly, straight at Alex Yandy.


    "Frost Star? A decent spirit beast, but unfortunately, it''s too low grade."


    Alex Yandy sneered, tugging at the corner of his mouth. A round shield suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the incoming ice spike. After a moment of stalling, the ice spike shattered with a crack and fell to the ground.


    The spirit beast in front of Alex Yandy was called the Wood Munching Mushroom. It had a chubby mushroom cap on its head, and its hands were also small mushroom caps. It was clear that this was a wood element spirit beast highly adept at defense.


    "Sixth tier?" Ken Aina''s face grew even more distressed at the sight of Alex Yandy''s Wood Munching Mushroom. Her Frost Star was only at the third tier. Frost ice could restrain wood to some extent, facing a Wood Munching Mushroom left her with no chance of victory, especially with so many Draconic Spirit Hunters eyeing her menacingly.

 Chapter 172 - 172 Slaughter

    "Don''t anyone else move, I''ll handle this myself," Alex Yandy said arrogantly.


    At Alex Yandy''s command, the chubby feet of the Wood Munching Mushroom stomped the ground, and it lunged forward. Its hard mushroom cap whipped up a fierce wind as it swung heavily at Frost Star.


    Frost Star dodged several meters away, and the mushroom cap of the Wood Munching Mushroom smashed into the horizontal log, sending wood chips flying and creating a hole in the log instantly.


    "Frost Star, Double Ice Spikes!" Ken Aina shouted urgently.


    Frost Star''s body floated slightly, and small ice flowers appeared on either side of it. Each ice flower was exquisitely detailed, and then the icy petals slowly opened. Sharp ice spikes shot out from the flowers'' centers, and the ice flowers themselves shattered into ice crystals that drifted down.


    "Tricks of the trade. Wood Munching Mushroom, Mycelium!"


    Alex Yandy''s disdainful voice rang out, and countless web like mycelium strands shot out from the Wood Munching Mushroom''s body. These mycelium strands, carrying the characteristic scent of fungi, enveloped Frost Star from all directions.


    The sharp ice spikes lost their momentum instantly under the sticky mycelium and were carried along, wrapping around Frost Star and sticking it firmly to a tree trunk.


    Ken Aina''s face turned ashen, her body trembling uncontrollably. The cold and aloof demeanor on her pale face had completely vanished.


    "Hehe, Ken Aina, what''s so good about that broken Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group? Follow me, and I''ll make sure you live comfortably in Hildan Town," Alex Yandy laughed heartily as he lifted his foot and walked towards Ken Aina with a burning gaze.


    "Are the members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group all such unsavory characters?"


    A clear, light hearted voice suddenly came from the treetop. Alex Yandy and his companions quickly looked up and saw a young figure leaning lazily against a branch, looking down at them with a casual gaze.


    "Blaze Regret?" Alex Yandy''s pupils trembled slightly. Having seen his portrait dozens of times, he recognized him immediately.


    The other spirit hunters'' expressions also changed. Even though they had been searching the mountains for the past few days, each of them had been praying that Blaze Regret had died in the Black Water River. After all, someone who could defeat Aishi Graze was far beyond their ability to contend with!


    Ken Aina''s face was even more expressive. She covered her mouth lightly with her jade like hand, her beautiful eyes staring at Blaze Regret in disbelief.


    Was this guy really the Blaze Regret that Alex Yandy had mentioned?


    Even now, she could hardly believe it.


    "When did you get here?" Alex Yandy finally mustered the courage to ask, his voice cold.


    "I''ve been here from the beginning. What, do you want me to report to you?" Blaze Regret replied nonchalantly, then lightly patted the branch and floated down to the ground.


    "Get him!"


    Alex Yandy gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with cold light. He shouted angrily. So what if Blaze Regret had defeated Aishi Graze? Falling into the Black Water River must have caused unimaginable injuries. Blaze Regret was only putting up a front now.


    If he could take Blaze Regret down, his status in the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would surely soar!


    Scanning the surroundings, Blaze Regret saw several spirit beasts lunging at him. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. The Red on his shoulder, which was grooming its fur, looked disdainful and then darted out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, blue shadows flickered, and the spirit beasts attacking Blaze Regret were instantly sent flying!


    "Boom!"


    As the spirit beasts hit the ground, Alex Yandy and the others looked at them in fear. Each spirit beast had a clear bloodline on its neck, with crimson blood slowly seeping out.


    Ken Aina tightly covered her mouth with her small hand, trying hard not to scream. Her delicate face was filled with shock.


    The five spirit hunters of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, though not as powerful as Alex Yandy, were genuine fourth tier warrior grade spirit masters. When working together, they could even hold their ground against a sixth tier warrior grade spirit master for a moment. However, under Blaze Regret''s Two Tail Demon Flame Cat Claw, they couldn''t even last a single move?


    This scene happened in an instant. As Alex Yandy regained his senses, his face twisted. Just as he was about to order a retreat, Blaze Regret let out a light laugh. With a wave of his hand, an ice blade shot out swiftly, slicing through the chests of the group like lightning.

    "Shhh!"


    Blood splattered as the five spirit hunters stared in horror at the wounds blooming on their chests, their bodies collapsing.


    Blaze Regret reached out, calmly catching the returning ice blade. With a gentle squeeze, the blade dissipated, transforming into icy spiritual energy that flowed into his second spirit portal.


    "Ice Shard Blade?" Alex Yandy''s lips trembled.


    The Ice Shard Blade was one of the offensive spirit techniques Blaze Regret had obtained from the Hildan Arena. With his seventh tier warrior grade spirit master strength, using it was effortless, and its destructive power could rival the Frost Feathers of the Ice Control Irenix.


    "To deal with you, I don''t even need a spirit beast." Blaze Regret opened his hand, another ice blade forming. Its sharp edges gleamed, and tiny ice mists drifted around it.


    "Spare me, I can pretend I didn''t see you. Otherwise, once the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group finds out about this, you won''t survive either!" Despite his fear, Alex Yandy''s expression remained defiant, even bringing up the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group to threaten Blaze Regret.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile. With a flick of his hand, the pure ice blade flew out, carrying a chilling temperature, heading straight for Alex Yandy''s chest.


    "Shhh!"


    Sorry for the Late Update. Bonus chapter will be post later. Hope you all enjoy

 Chapter 173 - 173 Fighting Mon Black

    The blood stained ice blade pierced through Alex Yandy''s body, embedding itself into a tree trunk with a snap. Alex Yandy looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief. Did this guy really not fear the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group? Did he dare to act in such a situation?


    Meanwhile, the Wood Munching Mushroom stood there dumbfounded. Blaze Regret''s speed was too fast, leaving it no time to defend.


    Watching Alex Yandy''s lifeless body fall to the ground, Ken Aina''s lips trembled slightly. This was a sixth tier warrior grade spirit master, yet in front of Blaze Regret, he didn''t even have a chance to resist!


    At this moment, the Wood Munching Mushroom finally reacted. With a scream, it ran towards the depths of the forest, disappearing quickly.


    Blaze Regret showed no reaction to this.


    His enemy was Alex Yandy. As for the Wood Munching Mushroom, if it insisted on seeking revenge, Blaze Regret naturally wouldn''t let it go. However, it was clearly trying to escape now, so he couldn''t be bothered to chase it.


    Some spirit beasts, once they break their spiritual bond with a spirit master, become completely wild. Therefore, Blaze Regret had no worries and wasn''t afraid of any trouble.


    "Beep!"


    Suddenly, a clear sound came from the communication shell at Alex Yandy''s waist. The flashing light caused Ken Aina''s face to turn pale instantly.


    "It''s someone from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. We need to leave!" Ken Aina said in a panic.


    "Why should we leave?" Blaze Regret looked at Ken Aina curiously. With a lazy stride, he walked over to Alex Yandy''s corpse and picked up the communication shell.


    "Alex Yandy, where are you? Why haven''t you reported back yet!"


    The voice from the communication shell made Blaze Regret chuckle and shake his head. So it was an old friend. He still clearly remembered Mon Black''s voice.


    "What are you doing?" Ken Aina''s face turned deathly pale as she saw Blaze Regret bring his lips close to the communication shell.


    Ignoring Ken Aina, Blaze Regret extended his finger and lightly tapped the flashing pearl.


    "Mon Black, long time no see. It seems you miss me quite a bit," Blaze Regret said with a light laugh.


    Hearing this voice, Mon Black on the other end was clearly taken aback and didn''t respond for a while. All Blaze Regret could hear was the rustling of leaves.


    "Blaze Regret!"


    After a moment, Mon Black''s enraged voice burst forth, filled with chilling killing intent that was palpable even through the communication shell.


    "I''m right here. Whether you come or not is up to you," Blaze Regret said with a smile, his hand applying a bit of pressure, crushing the communication shell into powder.


    "Are you crazy? That''s Mon Black, a ninth tier warrior grade spirit master!" Ken Aina stared at the powder slipping through Blaze Regret''s fingers, a mix of fear and anger in her eyes.


    Who does this guy think he is? Offending the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group and not immediately running back to Veloria City to hide in the Blaze family. Instead, he actively provokes Mon Black. Does he really believe that just because he''s the young master of the Blaze family, everyone will show him respect?


    This is courting death!


    "Miss, who are you? You seem a bit familiar," Blaze Regret blinked and suddenly asked curiously.


    "You don''t know who I am, so why did you come out to save me?" Ken Aina was momentarily stunned, then became even more furious. Is this guy pretending to be dumb? With her appearance, ordinary people would definitely remember her after seeing her once. How could he not recall?


    "I just wanted to take down those scum from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Saving you was just incidental," Blaze Regret shrugged innocently. He really couldn''t remember who Ken Aina was. Although she had a unique aura, she was just average in his eyes, not worth remembering.


    "You!" Ken Aina''s chest heaved, her pretty face turning red with anger. Being frustrated in her most confident aspect dealt a heavy blow to her ego.


    "You''d better leave quickly. When Mon Black arrives, this place won''t be as peaceful as it is now," Blaze Regret crossed his arms and leaned against a tree trunk, closing his eyes lightly, unwilling to say more.


    "Let''s see how you die later!" Ken Aina stomped her foot in anger, put her Cold Star into her spirit portal, and walked away about ten meter, turning back to glare fiercely at Blaze Regret before stopping.


    Though she said that, she couldn''t bring herself to just leave. After all, Blaze Regret had just saved her. The curse she blurted out was merely said in a moment of anger.


    Biting her lip, Ken Aina hid behind a rock, waiting to see how things would unfold. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hmm?" Blaze Regret slightly lifted his eyelids, looking at the rock where Ken Aina was hiding, a bit puzzled. But he quickly shook his head, closed his eyes again, and waited for Mon Black''s arrival.


    As the third leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, Mon Black was evidently much stronger than Aishi Graze. Ordinary ninth tier warrior grade spirit beasts didn''t have the strength to kill a Blazing Flame Elephant with a single punch. From his behavior that day, it was clear that he was also a ruthless character.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Before long, the tranquil forest started to shake with the sound of tremors. Red''s eyes turned serious as it looked into the distance. Its body was slightly trembling due to the vibrations of the ground.


    "Blaze Regret, come out here!"


    An angry roar echoed through the forest, lingering in the air for a long time.


    A sharp glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he muttered softly, "So, you''ve finally come. Since you are so eager to kill, I naturally can''t be too courteous either."


    "Whoosh!"


    A violent sound of breaking wind arose as a massive figure crashed through several ancient trees, charging forward. Its fierce fist struck a rock, shattering it into pieces that scattered like blossoms in the wind, sweeping towards Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 174 - 174 Fighting Mon Black 2 (Bonus)

    With a cold glint in its fiery eyes, the Flame Cat Beast swung its tail continuously, sweeping away the flying debris, embedding them deep into the tree trunks. A wisp of white smoke gently rose.


    The suddenly appearing spirit beast had an extremely intimidating physique. Its body surface was covered in a layer of silver, sparkling brightly under the sunlight. Its head resembled a ferocious statue, and around its tightly clenched fists, a faint silver spiritual aura rippled.


    "A Colossal Statue?" Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling quite shaken.


    This was an extremely powerful spirit beast. When they were at the warrior level, their bodies appeared silver. As their strength gradually increased, golden spots would appear on their skin. It was said that the most formidable Colossal Statues shone with golden light all over, and with a single punch, they could shatter the heavens, an incredibly terrifying presence.


    Heavy footsteps sounded as the Colossal Statue moved slightly. Mon Black, with an icy expression, stepped out slowly from behind it. When he saw the corpses of Alex Yandy and others, a burst of violent killing intent surged from his eyes.


    "Kid, you sure have guts. Barely escaping with your life and yet you dare to come back. But it''s just as well. Someone like you who kills the innocent deserves to die by my hand," Mon Black said coldly, with a sinister smile.


    "If I didn''t come back, some people might not feel at ease. As for these people, all I can say is, they deserved to die," Blaze Regret smiled faintly, showing no signs of fear.


    "Sharp tongued, let''s see today whether your mouth is tougher or your bones are!" Mon Black sneered coldly.


    With a grasp of his hand, a cold gleam flashed in the eyes of the Colossal Statue. It then suddenly charged forward, its heavy body making the ground thud loudly. Its clenched fist drew a silver arc as it struck towards the head of the Flame cat Beast.


    The powerful wind pressure from above made the Flame Cat Beast''s expression turn grave. It raised its tail, spiritual energy surging upwards, and blue flames ignited as it clashed with the Colossal Statue''s fist.


    "Boom!"


    At the moment of collision, the ground instantly collapsed, and an invisible force swept outwards. Cracks spread in all directions from the center where the Flame Cat Beast stood. The trees at the ends of the cracks were shattered into powder by the terrifying force contained within.


    As the energy dissipated, both spirit beasts remained motionless. The Colossal Statue''s fist pressed firmly against the Flame Cat Beast''s tail, causing the ground beneath it to continuously fracture.


    "Roar!"


    With a fierce glint in its eyes, the Flame Cat Beast flipped its body. The force generated by the Colossal Statue''s fist hitting the ground sent it flying several meters away.


    Expressionless, the Colossal Statue stood up straight and twisted its hand. Silver spiritual energy swirled around it, emitting a crisp creaking sound.


    It was clear that the earlier collision was merely a warm up for it. After a simple test, the Colossal Statue had gauged the Flame Cat Beast''s strength. At the seventh tier of the high warrior grade, based on past experience, a few more punches would suffice to kill it on the spot.


    "Kid, your progress is indeed fast, but being too rigid can lead to breaking. Today, let me teach you some lessons about life," Mon Black said with a bloodthirsty smile curling at the corner of his mouth.


    The Colossal Statue lifted its foot and then stomped heavily on the ground. Its body, carrying an overwhelming force, shot towards the Flame Cat Beast. The air in front of it wailed under the terrifying momentum.


    "Whoosh!"


    At the moment the Colossal Statue''s fist made contact, the Flame Cat Beast''s body split into two. Fire Spikes Ring appeared and whirled around the Colossal Statue''s body, emitting a shower of sparks.


    With a roar, the Colossal Statue swung its fists, the force within them knocking the Fire Spikes Ring away. It then turned its fists downward and struck the ground fiercely.


    "Air Pulse!"


    As Mon Black''s voice resounded, golden energy beams rapidly spread from under the Colossal Statue''s fist, tearing the ground into deep ravines and surging wildly.


    The Air Pulse, one of the Colossal Statue''s signature spirit techniques, could embed metal based spiritual energy underground to launch fast and elusive attacks against enemies.


    The Red Flame Beast''s figure flickered continuously as golden fissures shot past it. Any rocks touched by the Air Pulse shattered completely, and trees split in half as if struck by lightning.


    Watching the dodging Red Flame Beast, a cold gleam suddenly appeared in the Colossal Statue''s eyes. The last Air Pulse quickly gathered at its fist and shot out at an astonishing speed.


    At this moment, the Red Flame Beast''s escape route was completely sealed by two Air Pulses on either side, leaving it with no way to avoid the attack! S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A continuous attack, huh? It''s really hard to dodge," Blaze Regret muttered with a hint of fierceness in his heavy voice. "Red, use the Flowing Flame Fan to shatter that Air Pulse!"


    The Flame Cat Beast nodded slightly. Intense flames rose from its tail, spreading out like a fiery fan, burning steadily.


    The Flowing Flame Fan was a fire based spirit technique Blaze Regret had won at the Hildan Arena. It was slightly more powerful than a single Fire Spike Ring but consumed very little spiritual energy, making it a formidable technique in battle.


    The Flame Cat Beast''s tail swept out fiercely, and the fiery fan clashed with the golden Air Pulse. With a loud bang, both forces were annihilated, vanishing instantly.


    "What a troublesome kid," Mon Black''s face turned grim. Blaze Regret''s tenacity was beyond his expectations.


    Watching the terrifying battle unfold, Ken Aina, hiding behind a rock, was already dumbfounded. She had assumed Blaze Regret would be defeated instantly by Mon Black but was shocked to see him holding his own for so long!

 Chapter 175 - 175 Fighting Mon Black 3 (Bonus)

    "However, he''ll still lose in the end," Ken Aina shook her head gently. Mon Black was, after all, a ninth tier warrior grade spirit master. Despite Blaze Regret''s current advantage, it wouldn''t be long before he exhausted his spiritual energy, unable to compete with Mon Black''s overwhelming power.


    The Colossal Statue opened its mouth and exhaled a silver gas, then spread its hands. Violent spiritual energy began to gather in its palms.


    "Roar!"


    A roar, akin to that of a wild beast, emanated from the mouth of the Colossal Statue. In a flash of silver light, the cold faced Colossal Statue appeared before the Flame Cat Beast, its massive fist sweeping out with an oppressive gust of wind.


    On the Flame Cat Beast''s claws, two Fire Spike Rings materialized out of thin air. Under its control, they continuously clashed with the Colossal Statue''s relentless attacks.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks rapidly flickered on the battlefield. Blood marks began to appear on the Colossal Statue''s silver fists, while the firelight from the Fire Spike Rings gradually dimmed, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.


    "Kid, competing with me in spiritual power is your most foolish mistake. Don''t forget, you''re just a seventh tier warrior grade spirit master!" Mon Black sneered repeatedly, aiming to break Blaze Regret''s psychological defenses.


    "Yes, and besides, you still have a pack of lackeys trailing behind you."


    Sensing the approaching spiritual energy points in the distance, Blaze Regret shook his head helplessly. "I''ve kept you around this long merely to help stabilize the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat Beast''s seventh tier strength. Now that the goal is achieved, there''s no need to hold back."


    As he spoke, Blaze Regret''s palm slowly opened, and scorching spiritual energy surged and roiled within it, like magma about to erupt.


    Seeing the terrifying aura emanating from Blaze Regret''s palm, Mon Black''s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly recalling something, he couldn''t help but exclaim in shock, "A fire type attack spirit technique, Flame Domain!"


    The Flame Domain was a spirit technique that Blaze Regret forcefully exhibited in the Black Water River. It could transform into an incredibly scorching area of flames, entrapping the opponent in a roasting environment and severely weakening their state. Simultaneously, Blaze Regret''s spirit beast could continuously absorb fire attribute spiritual power from the Fire Domain.


    Although this spirit technique was extremely powerful, it also consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power. When Blaze Regret used it in the Black Water River, his spiritual power was almost entirely depleted in less than a breath.


    "I''d like to see how long you can last," Mon Black said coldly, his voice filled with intense killing intent. "The Colossal Statue, Spiral Blade Pillar!"


    With a punch, the The Colossal Statue split the Reds. The spiritual power within its body surged rapidly, gathering entirely in its hands. Silver energy roiled incessantly.


    "Snap!" S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The The Colossal Statue clapped its hands together, then suddenly parted them. Amidst the flickering silver light, a rotating silver pillar condensed. Sharp silver blades abruptly extended from the edge of the pillar, spinning wildly with the rotation of the pillar, resembling swirling streaks of light.


    Seeing the rotating blade pillar, Ken Aina behind the rock couldn''t help but feel numb. She remembered a time when a Ninth tier Nightwing Eagle accidentally intruded into Hildan Town and was instantly shredded into a blood mist by this spirit technique.


    One could imagine the immense destructive power of the The Colossal Statue''s Spiral Blade Pillar.


    "With my current strength, I can only sustain the Flame Domain for at most two breaths, but that will be enough," Blaze Regret murmured softly, the temperature in his palm growing even hotter to the point that the surrounding air appeared slightly distorted.


    The Reds and Blaze Regret were in sync, naturally understanding what needed to be done. So it nodded, taking a light step forward. Two blue fire spikes condensed in front of its body, rotating rapidly.


    At that moment, the The Colossal Statue also swung its massive hand. The silver Spiral Blade Pillar roared out, accompanied by a piercing wind, carving a deep trench into the hardened ground.


    "Woo!"


    The Red let out a low cry, and two fire spike rings shot out. The intense heat they emitted instantly incinerated the falling leaves in the air into ashes, which scattered in the wind.


    "Flame Domain!" Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with a sharp light. With a loud shout, a fire zone ten feet in diameter suddenly expanded from where his palm struck the ground. Wisps of flame rose from the ground, resembling a burning inferno.


    Caught in the fire zone, tiny flames began to burn on the silver spiral blade pillar, causing its rotation speed to decrease slightly. Although the change was not obvious, the rate at which the ground was being torn apart indicated the reduction.


    The two fire spike rings that had shot out were now enveloped in an even denser blue flame. With a clang, they merged into one, their aura intensifying. A blue light emerged around the fire spike ring, spinning rapidly with its rotation.


    Moments later, the merged fire spike ring collided heavily with the incoming spiral blade pillar.


    "Boom!"


    The tremendous explosion shook the surrounding trees, causing leaves to fall wildly. Before they could touch the ground, the aftershock of the explosion turned them to nothingness.


    On the ground, silver and blue energies intertwined. After a brief stalemate, the blue light, under Mon Black''s horrified gaze, crushed the silver energy and then surged towards the The Colossal Statue.


    Another crash resounded, and the space fell silent for a moment before the The Colossal Statue''s massive body was sent flying backward. It spewed blood in the air before crashing heavily into a rock.


    Countless cracks spread from its back. The The Colossal Statue glanced with difficulty at the still standing Red before collapsing to the side, its silver body covered in shattered bloodstains.


    In the distance, Ken Aina covered her rosy lips with her delicate hand, her bright eyes filled with shock.

    "Sorry, you lost," Blaze Regret said calmly, gently stroking the Red''s head.


    "You little bastard, I underestimated you," Mon Black said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His weak voice was filled with undisguisable malice.


    Blaze Regret smiled gently, bringing his fingers together as he slowly walked towards Mon Black. Blue flame like spiritual energy surged from his fingertips.


    "Heh, you little bastard. Your spirit beast used such a terrifying spirit skill, and you also used the Fire Domain. Let me guess, your spiritual energy must be less than ten percent now, right?" Despite Blaze Regret approaching him, Mon Black showed no fear. Instead, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    Blaze Regret took light steps forward, nodding slightly in acknowledgment. Power and consumption are directly proportional, and without a Qi Restoration Pill, he couldn''t quickly recover his spiritual energy. Thus, the spiritual energy within his first spirit portal was now extremely thin.


    "Then you can die now!"


    Mon Black laughed heartily, his foot stomping on the ground as his body shot backward. Several shadows swiftly descended from the sky, each possessing the strength of a mid level sixth tier warrior grade. Killing Blaze Regret, who had no spiritual energy left, would undoubtedly be effortless.


    "Swish!"


    With the rustling of leaves, several spirit hunters appeared. Judging by the emblems on their chests, it was clear they were all from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group!


    "Kill him for me!" Mon Black commanded sharply, pointing at Blaze Regret.


    Hearing this, the spirit hunters nodded. Their spirit beasts immediately flapped their thin wings, flying towards Blaze Regret. One after another, spirit techniques began to form rapidly in the air.


    These spirit masters were all wind attribute, known for their speed, and served as Mon Black''s life saving trump card.


    "You little bastard! Let''s see what tricks you can play now!" Mon Black laughed arrogantly, confident in his control of the situation.


    "Want to see a trick?" Blaze Regret took a step back and suddenly started to laugh as well.


    In an instant, a pale blue light shot out from behind him, resembling blade like ice wings that sliced through the bodies of the wind attribute spirit beasts.


    "Ding!"


    Returning to Blaze Regret''s side, the Ice Control Irenix gently flapped its flawless wings. Not far from them, blood mist exploded with a bang. The spirit hunters standing in the trees turned pale and all fell to the ground.


    Blood splattered on his face, and the sinister smile at the corner of Mon Black''s mouth instantly froze. He stared blankly at the Ice Control Irenix beside Blaze Regret, his mind feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer.


    He had forgotten that this guy was a dual source spirit master. Even if the spiritual energy in his first spirit portal was exhausted, the energy in his second spirit portal remained unaffected!


    Escape!


    This word, which had never appeared in his mind before, now sprouted like wild grass, growing frantically.


    Thus, Mon Black hurriedly turned around, ignoring the spirit hunters lying on the ground wailing in pain, and desperately ran into the distance.


    "I said, is your memory really that bad?"


    However, to Mon Black''s despair, before he had run ten meter, a young face suddenly appeared beside him, smiling and staring at him intently.


    Seeing Mon Black''s panic, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned cold. Shards of ice formed into blades in his palm and gently slashed across Mon Black''s neck.


    With the Ice Control Irenix clutching his back, Blaze Regret turned around, the ice blades in his palm spinning before shooting out, mercilessly taking the lives of Mon Black''s subordinates.


    For those who wanted to kill him, Blaze Regret showed no mercy. He believed that if the roles were reversed, these members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would be even more ruthless than he was.


    Taking the void realms stone from Mon Black''s waist, Blaze Regret''s palm erupted with blue flames. The last of his spiritual energy surged out from his spirit portal, incinerating the bodies of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members until nothing remained. With a step, he disappeared from the scene.


    From behind a rock, Ken Aina slowly walked out. Looking at the ashes on the ground, her hand covering her mouth trembled slightly.


    In the eastern part of the Hildan Mountain Range, on the ridges of a peripheral area, warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating countless dazzling light spots on the slightly damp ground.


    Above that ground, clusters of verdant Bamboo Spirits swayed gently, their dense leaves rustling. The sturdy roots grasped firmly into the soil, absorbing its nutrients.


    "Whoosh!"


    In the tranquil cluster of Bamboo Spirits, a blue shadow suddenly flashed by, causing a commotion. The branches shook, and sharp bamboo leaves shot out towards the Red, but none of them even grazed it, all embedding into the soil instead.


    This scene kept playing out on the ridges.


    "Well done."


    Standing on a branch of a giant tree, Blaze Regret beamed as he patted the little head of the Red. He then placed a light green droplet, which the flame held in its sharp claws, into a small transparent bottle.


    Gently shaking the bottle and looking at the liquid that was already half full, a satisfied smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Is this enough?" Blaze Regret asked expectantly, looking at Master Magi.


    "Almost," Master Magi nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, a half conical light shield enveloped the entire giant tree where Blaze Regret stood, clearing out the small spirit beasts hiding within.


    Blaze Regret exhaled softly, his eyes reflecting a hint of fervor. He opened his palm, revealing a jade green leaf resting quietly, emitting a faint fragrance.


    "It has to work," Blaze Regret murmured as he slowly poured the liquid from the bottle. Strangely, not a single drop spilled; instead, it enveloped the leaf like jelly, faintly trembling.


    Thank you for all that support me

 Chapter 177 - 177 Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros

    Putting the small transparent bottle into the Void realms Stone, Blaze Regret changed the hand seal he was forming. The jade green leaf instantly began to glow with tiny points of fluorescent light. The liquid surrounding it seeped entirely into the leaf within moments.


    With his eyes tightly shut, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the tree trunk. The leaf hovered above his palm. Suddenly, in his darkened vision, a point of light emerged.


    The light gradually spread, revealing a black ground. Black mist drifted through the air, and a small beast, resembling a cabbage, lay on the ground, its body slightly rising and falling with each breath. The next moment, it lifted its tiny head in confusion, seemingly glancing at Blaze Regret. Then, it quickly burrowed into the soil.


    "Crack!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes snapped open. The leaf in his palm split down the middle and spiraled downwards, disintegrating into countless green light particles as it fell.


    "I saw it! It''s indeed a wood elemental mystical beast!" Blaze Regret exclaimed in surprise, looking at Master Magi. His voice was hoarse with excitement.


    More importantly, the location was incredibly familiar to him it was at the Bloodstone Pass of the Empire!


    "We should go right now!" Blaze Regret stood up, his face fervent.


    "We cannot," Master Magi shook his head.


    "Why not?" Blaze Regret asked, somewhat puzzled. It was a mystical beast; missing this chance would be a lifelong regret!


    "Young one, haste makes waste. I saw the scene as well. Didn''t you notice? That mystical beast has likely reached the lord grade. Not only is your strength insufficient to form a spirit contract, but capturing it would also be extremely difficult," Master Magi''s calm words made Blaze Regret''s fervor instantly dissipate.


    "So what should we do?" Blaze Regret asked helplessly, sitting back down.


    I have to admit, Master Magi''s words made sense. If mystical beasts were so easy to obtain, they wouldn''t exist only in legends. Their methods of escape are just as formidable as their reputation.


    Even a powerful Spirit Master might not be able to touch that wood elemental mystical beast.


    "There is a way, of course," Master Magi said, noticing Blaze Regret''s expectant look. He smiled and continued, "If we can find that missing page from the book, my strength will be restored significantly. At that time, capturing a lord grade wood elemental mystical beast won''t be difficult."


    "What if it runs away?" Blaze Regret asked worriedly. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Haha, rest assured. If I''m not mistaken, that mystical beast is at a critical breakthrough stage. It won''t be able to move far for at least six months. You should know that breaking through for a mystical beast is much more challenging than for an ordinary spirit beast," Master Magi laughed.


    "That''s good," Blaze Regret exhaled in relief, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He muttered, "A lord grade beast could turn the entire Veloria City upside down."


    "Consider yourself lucky. That wood elemental mystical beast is only at the lord level. When you reach around the seventh rank imperial grade as a Spirit Master, you can barely withstand its spiritual power. If that mystical beast were any stronger, not only you but even a Spirit Lord would face shattered spiritual portals," Master Magi said with deep feeling.


    "It seems I need to quickly improve my strength."


    Standing up, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with determination. No matter what, he must reach the seventh rank imperial grade as a Spirit Master within six months. Otherwise, even finding the mystical beast wouldn''t grant him the qualification to interact with it.


    "The primary task now is to refine the Qi Restoration Pill."


    Having made up his mind, Blaze Regret leapt down from the tree. After Master Magi removed the light barrier, he quickly left. The spirit beasts that had been forced to leave the giant tree cautiously glanced at Blaze Regret''s departing figure before swiftly rushing back to the treetop.


    The materials for refining the Qi Restoration Pill, besides Blue Inscription Grass, included the extremely rare Lava Fruit. The Lava Fruit grows on the Lava Fruit Tree, which is typically guarded by a spirit beast called the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    The Lava Fruit contains extremely violent fire attribute energy. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros crushes it, mixes it with soil, and applies it to the hard armor on its body to enhance the armor''s strength.


    "Is that a Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros?"


    Hiding behind a rock, Blaze Regret looked at the massive, mountain like figures in the distance, and his eyelid couldn''t help but twitch.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros is an earth attribute spirit beast that walks upright like a giant stone statue. Their bodies are covered in silver hard armor, which is exceptionally tough. A sharp horn grows from their small noses, gleaming brightly under the sunlight.


    Although their legs are short, their fists possess immense power. The thought of them swinging those fists made Blaze Regret''s scalp tingle.


    Shifting his gaze, Blaze Regret noticed a spirit tree about ten feet tall among the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros herd. The tree''s fiery red leaves bore red fruits that swayed gently in the breeze, emitting waves of violent spiritual energy.


    "Lava Fruit."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    On the rocky ground, a group of rock horn dragon rhinoceroses were quietly moving around in small areas. Occasionally, one would walk up to a lava fruit tree, tear off a lava fruit, crush it, grab a handful of soil, and smear the mixture on its body. In an instant, the silver armor of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros would emit a faint red glow, as if it had been tempered like steel.


    "These guys are much harder to deal with than the spirit bamboos," Blaze Regret sighed lightly as he looked at the strong bodied of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses. He had no doubt that even with Red''s speed, it would be impossible to get close to the lava fruit tree.

 Chapter 178 - 178 Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros 2

    "Hehe, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros is a very irritable spirit beast. It is said that their single horn contains a trace of dragon blood, but over time, that trace of blood has long disappeared," Master Magi said with a smile.


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly flashed, and he whispered a few words to Red.


    Nodding its small head, Red moved swiftly and reappeared on a distant high rock, its blue eyes provocatively looking at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses below.


    "Kid, you''re playing with fire," Master Magi chuckled, seeming to know what Blaze Regret was up to.


    "Roar!"


    As soon as Master Magi finished speaking, Red on the high ground waved its small paw, and a fire spike ring shot out, continuously hitting the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses. Bright sparks erupted from their silver armor.


    An angry roar was heard as a Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros reached out and crushed the fire spike ring. Then, like a charging beast, it stomped its foot and rushed towards Red with blood red eyes.


    In an instant, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros herd went into a frenzy. All the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses roared and followed, making the entire ground rumble. The small rocks on the ground near Blaze Regret lightly jumped from the vibrations.


    "Go!"


    Seeing the nearly empty rocky ground, Blaze Regret cautiously waited for a moment, then flames surged under his feet as he quickly dashed out, secretly delighted in his heart.


    Fortunately, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses aren''t very clever. Otherwise, even a spirit beast of the imperial grade wouldn''t be able to survive their ferocious attacks.


    As Blaze Regret reached the lava fruit tree, he was filled with joy. With the Qi Recovery Pill, he wouldn''t have to worry much about running out of spiritual power in the future.


    "Roar!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s hand was about to touch a lava fruit, a deafening roar suddenly echoed through the air. A powerful gust of wind shot towards him from a distance.


    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret stomped on the ground and quickly retreated.


    With a loud bang, a rock crashed down where Blaze Regret had just been standing, embedding itself deep into the ground. Cracks spread out from the impact point in all directions.


    His eyes slightly heavy, Blaze Regret looked into the distance. A figure, larger than the other Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses, stood on a rock, glaring at him coldly.


    This figure was as solid as a rock, with gleaming silver armor. Even from a distance, Blaze Regret could feel the strength in its fists. This Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was far more terrifying than the giant fortress like ones!


    "The leader of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros tribe," Blaze Regret murmured, his heart sinking slightly.


    Clearly, this Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was the strongest in the area. Conservatively estimated, it was at least a mid level third tier imperial grade, with incredibly formidable strength.


    A pale blue magic array rapidly formed in front of Blaze Regret, and the Ice Control Irenix appeared, gently flapping its wings.


    Blaze Regret and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros locked eyes coldly. Suddenly, Blaze Regret grinned and opened his palm. The lava fruits on the tree were swiftly pulled into his grasp by the force of his palm.


    "Roar!"


    An enraged roar came from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. It reached out and grabbed a massive rock, hurling it fiercely at Blaze Regret. The whistling wind echoed incessantly.


    "Ice Control Irenix, stall it!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret store the lava fruits into the void realm stone, the Ice Control Irenix gently nodded. With a wave of its icy wings, a cold surge emerged, conjuring an ice mirror. Subsequently, numerous ice mirrors rapidly appeared, blocking the incoming huge rock.


    When the rock struck the first ice mirror, it seemed to encounter no resistance, shattering it effortlessly. The rock then continued through several more ice mirrors, shattering them into countless transparent shards that scattered in all directions.


    "Boom!"


    The Ice Control Irenix folded its wings, colliding with the massive rock. Under the immense force, it rapidly retreated. Then, it unfolded its wings like a guillotine, slicing the rock into two halves.


    "That''s enough, let''s go!"


    Having collected most of the lava fruits from the tree, Blaze Regret felt a tingling in his scalp as he looked at the shards of ice mirrors on the ground. This was just a casual strike from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and it was already so terrifying. He could hardly imagine the destruction if it used a spirit technique.


    Moreover, if the Ice Control Irenix''s body hadn''t been reinforced by the Ice Lake Stone Flower, it would have been shattered to pieces by the rock.


    "Bang!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret and the Ice Control Irenix trying to escape, a cold glint flashed in the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes. It stomped heavily on the ground, shattering the rocks, and charged forward with explosive speed. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group wouldn''t dare to encroach on the territory of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros because they knew very well just how terrifying an enraged Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros could be.


    And this one was the leader!


    "Ice Shard Blade!"


    While desperately running, Blaze Regret swung his hand, sending out a sharp ice blade. However, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros casually grabbed it, shattering it instantly.


    "This is way too strong!" Blaze Regret lamented inwardly. If he had known there was a leader among the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceroses, he wouldn''t have come, even at the risk of death. But now that he had started, he had to see it through to the end.


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret sidestepped just in time, narrowly avoiding a massive rock that whizzed past him and crashed into a row of giant trees.


    Feeling the searing pain, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth and deliberately squeezed through narrow gaps. Behind him, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with a sinister glint in its eyes, continuously swung its fists, toppling one giant tree after another.

 Chapter 179 - 179 Escape

    Ignoring the dust clinging to him, Blaze Regret pushed his Flame Step to its limit, his body moving as agilely as a monkey. He dashed through the trees at high speed, leaving blackened footprints on the trunks with his flaming soles.


    "There''s a barrier ahead," Master Magi suddenly spoke.


    "Is there a way to break through it?" Blaze Regret urgently asked, feeling anxious. This time there was no Black Water River to jump into, and even if there was, he didn''t want to experience the terror of being chased by the Black water Flood Dragoon again.


    "Of course. You need to find a way to stall the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros for a moment, and I will break the barrier," Master Magi smiled and began forming hand seals. A golden ripple gradually spread out.


    "Roar!"


    Red leaped down from the treetops, having apparently shaken off the pursuit of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros herd. Its blue eyes were fixed fiercely on the charging Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "In that case, let''s see if we can hold it off."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes hardened as he opened his second spirit portal. The Ice Control Irenix flew out, surrounded by brilliant ice crystals that slowly rotated around its body.


    As they watched the Red and the Ice Control Irenix, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros slowed its frenzied pace. A thick sense of mockery emerged in its eyes. Suddenly, it stepped forward, clenched its right fist, and gathered spiritual power, creating a gust of oppressive wind aimed fiercely at the lower ranked Red.


    "Ice Prism!"


    With a soft shout from Blaze Regret, the Ice Control Irenix''s wings vibrated rapidly, creating layer upon layer of ice mirrors in front of the Red. The bright sheen emanated a chilling aura.


    With a crack, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist shattered the ice mirrors instantly, while two Fire Spike Ring that had formed in front of the Red''s claws slashed mercilessly at its head.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes darkened slightly. It crossed its arms, and the sharp Fire Spike Ring frantically cut into its arms but failed to leave any marks.


    "Ding!"


    Seeing that the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros easily blocked the Fire Spike Ring, the Ice Control Irenix flew out. Its spread wings gleamed coldly as it slashed down angrily.


    With a disdainful snort, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros punched the Fire Spike Ring away. As the Ice Control Irenix was about to reach it, it suddenly opened its hand and effortlessly grabbed the Ice Control Irenix''s icy wings.


    "Boom!"


    A cold light flashed in its eyes as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros grabbed the Ice Control Irenix''s wings and smashed it down towards the ground. A pale blue light streaked out as the Ice Control Irenix''s wings carved a long crack into the ground, creating a trail of dust until it embedded into a giant tree, finally coming to a stop.


    The Ice Control Irenix moved slightly, drawing its wings out from the tree trunk. Its previously dull face gradually became savage. Its wings flapped continuously, conjuring ice blades in midair that, with a chilling wind, enveloped the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Looking at the slightly shattered wings of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret''s face grew colder. The strength of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros had exceeded his expectations. It was important to know that the Ice Control Irenix, enhanced by the Ice Lake Stone Flower, was far more powerful than before.


    "Master Magi, is it ready yet?" Blaze Regret turned his gaze, his voice thick with urgency.


    "Ten more breaths," Master Magi replied sternly, light patterns flowing between his hands.


    Turning back, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth. A blazing flame surged from his palm, instantly raising the temperature of the area significantly.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s actions, the Ice Control Irenix clearly understood his intent. It immediately unleashed all its power, icy cold air frantically emanating from its body. Between its wings, it formed a pale blue ice wheel, with bits of ice orbiting its frosty edges.


    The Shattered Ice Wheel was a spiritual skill that the Ice Control Irenix could only comprehend at the eighth rank. Its destructive power was no less than that of the combined fire spike rings.


    With a flap of its wings, the Ice Control Irenix sent the Shattered Ice Wheel slashing out, leaving a trail of icy mist that lingered in the air.


    "Flame Domain!"


    Blaze Regret shouted in a low voice, slamming his palm onto the ground. The fire spike rings formed by the blaze expanded rapidly, creating a blue light trail that roared towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Roar!"


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped on the ground, sending dust rippling outwards. It tightly clenched its fist and punched forward with immense force, causing the space in front of it to seemingly shatter.


    A loud boom echoed as cracks spread across the ground beneath the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. Despite the combined full force attack of the Ice Control Irenix and the Red, it failed to leave even a scratch on its fist.


    "Hiss!"


    Staring at the silver fist of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Blaze Regret took a sharp breath. This spirit beast was unbelievably terrifying. Unless the Ice Control Irenix and Red advanced to the Imperial Grade, they had no chance of defeating it even if they joined forces!


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros stepped lightly on the ground and walked over with an indifferent gaze. Its sweeping tail crushed every rock it touched into powder.


    "Kid, get out of here!"


    At that moment, Master Magi''s voice finally rang out. A look of wild joy appeared on Blaze Regret''s face the damned barrier had finally been broken!


    Quickly retreating, Blaze Regret stored the Red and Ice Control Irenix into the spirit portal. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros seemed to realize something and rushed over. Even from a distance, its tail swept across with a violent gust of wind.

 Chapter 180 - 180 Dragon Bloodline

    Feeling the fierce wind heading towards him, Blaze Regret clenched his palm, and a jade green Turtle Spirit Armor appeared in front of him, colliding with the tail of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Boom!"


    A massive force transmitted through the Turtle Spirit Armor. Blaze Regret spat out a mouthful of blood mist and was sent flying backward. The barrier in front of him closed, isolating the charging Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros outside.


    Its gigantic fists pounded the barrier like a storm, sending tangible ripples across its surface, resembling golden water waves.


    "It won''t come through, will it?" Blaze Regret wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, speaking softly with lingering fear.


    "Don''t worry," Master Magi said in a deep voice. "Though I''m unsure who set up this barrier, even a lord grade spirit beast would find it difficult to break through."


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret straightened up. Just as he was about to look away from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, his pupils suddenly contracted. He saw the Rhinoceros'' fist slowly pressing into the barrier, creating a noticeable arc.


    On its fist, a faint silver dragon shadow could be seen roaring!


    "Atavism!" Master Magi''s face showed a hint of shock.


    "Atavism?" Blaze Regret took a few steps back, his voice dry. If that behemoth broke through, it wouldn''t be as easy to handle as before.


    "I didn''t expect that this Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros really has dragon blood in its veins," Master Magi''s eyes were somewhat fervent, looking at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros as if it were a rare treasure.


    "It won''t break through, right?" Blaze Regret smiled bitterly. He wasn''t interested in the dragon bloodline of the Rhinoceros; he just wanted to escape quickly.


    "Of course not. Tsk, tsk, what a pity. If your third spirit portal were open, I would spare no expense to capture this Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. Dragon blood, true dragon blood," Master Magi shook his head regretfully.


    "Boom!"


    After another blow to the barrier, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros glared icily at Blaze Regret for a moment before finally turning away reluctantly.


    "Do dragons really exist in this world..."


    Staring at the dragon shaped imprint on the barrier, Blaze Regret murmured softly. The fact that Master Magi valued it so highly was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros. If even a trace of dragon blood was so powerful, a true dragon would be even more formidable.


    "There are indeed two dragons on this continent. However, one doesn''t meddle in worldly affairs, while the other, just after it appeared, I put a bloody hole in it," Master Magi chuckled.


    "Yeah, right," Blaze Regret rolled his eyes at Master Magi and then walked away.


    "I knew you wouldn''t believe me," Master Magi''s mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at the retreating figure of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros and then followed Blaze Regret, sighing regretfully along the way.


    In the silent forest, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on a rock, gazing at the alchemy cauldron in front of him. A slight twinge in his heart, and a slightly bluelish flame emerged from his palm. With a wave of his hand, the flame fell into the cauldron and slowly started to burn.


    This time, refining the Qi Replenishing Pill was undoubtedly much easier compared to the last time. He barely consumed any spiritual power, and dozens of perfectly round Qi Replenishing Pills were condensed in the cauldron.


    "Whoo!"


    Exhaling a breath of white air, Blaze Regret smiled faintly as he stored the Qi Replenishing Pills into the Void Realm Stone. When he saw the dried bloodstains on his chest, he couldn''t help but frown. The power of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros was truly terrifying. Even with the protection of the Mystic Turtle Spirit Armor, his injuries were still quite serious.


    After wandering in the forest for half a day, Blaze Regret finally found a tree hollow and temporarily settled in. It seemed that the Rock Desolate Spirit Hunting Group was surely searching for him everywhere. Until he fully recovered, it was best not to run around recklessly. After all, dealing with Mon Black was already somewhat strenuous.


    If he encountered Mon Dark and Mon Den again, it would be a dead end.


    "No water left, and the bloodstains on my body need to be dealt with too."


    Licking his slightly dry lips, Blaze Regret leaped to the top of the tree, scanning his surroundings. His gaze finally settled on a bright spot. It was already night time, and the only thing that could reflect such light must be a lake!


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret excitedly descended to the ground and hurriedly rushed towards the bright spot.


    Under the moonlight, Blaze Regret cautiously observed the lake through the gaps in the leaves. When he saw that the clean lake water didn''t even have the shadow of a spirit beast, he couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief.


    "Really got scared by the Black water Flood Dragon."


    Shaking his head in self mockery, Blaze Regret took off his clothes and jumped into the lake. The cool lake water helped clear his slightly groggy head from the injuries.


    "Something feels off here." Master Magi frowned in thought for a moment, then a faint, sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    "What is it?" Blaze Regret released the Red, wiped its claws, and looked up at Master Magi in confusion.


    "I can''t say." Master Magi smiled and shook his head, then asked, "What are your plans next?"


    "Train, and then find an opportunity to take out Mon Star." Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with determination as he spoke fiercely.


    "That sounds good. However, recently, I have been sensing that page from the book more strongly. It might not be long before my true form can recover partially," Master Magi said with a smile.


    "That means we can go after that Wood type Mystic Beast." Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up.

 Chapter 181 - 181 Reversed

    "The Mystic Beast is great, but that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros is also quite impressive," Master Magi said, clicking his tongue in regret. He couldn''t forget that ancestral Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "No way, I''m afraid it will kill me." Blaze Regret waved his hand in fear. That was a monster, and even Mon Black''s Colossal Statue would probably be smashed into a pile of meat if it approached it.


    After speaking, Blaze Regret submerged himself in the water, enjoying the rare tranquility.


    Just as Blaze Regret surfaced again, a slight rustling sound caught his attention. His face stiffened, and his mouth opened slightly. Beside him, the Red buried its head underwater.


    On the shore, a young girl dressed in a black dress stood gracefully. As her snow white hand waved, her waterfall like black hair cascaded down to her waist. Her slightly immature yet charming face, enhanced by her ethereal temperament, added an inexplicable charm.


    "Isn''t this too clich¨¦d..."


    At this moment, Blaze Regret had no time to appreciate the elegance of the girl who resembled a black lotus. Instead, he felt a bit bitter inside. He finally understood what was wrong. How could this lake be so clean unless it was owned by someone!


    The girl casually unbuttoned her dress, sweeping her gaze around. Her hand suddenly froze, and a hint of anger slowly rose on her cold face.


    "Let me explain!" Blaze Regret hurriedly stood up from the water but then suddenly remembered something, blushing and squatting back down immediately.


    "You''re courting death!" The girl bit her silver teeth and waved her jade like hand. A jelly like water type spirit beast floated in mid air, and then water arrows shot out from its body.


    "It''s a misunderstanding!" Blaze Regret quickly retrieved a set of clean clothes from the Void Realm Stone. Ignoring his wet body, he dressed as fast as he could, then leaped up, turning the lake water beneath his feet into ice.


    "Pervert!" The girl finally found a word to curse him with after holding back for a long time. She glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, her glass like eyes filled with anger.


    "I really didn''t do it on purpose!" Blaze Regret''s figure flashed, dodging the water arrows. He felt like crying without tears. What kind of situation was this? Weren''t those stories about seeing beauties bathing? How come it was completely reversed!


    The lake water quickly turned to ice under his feet as Blaze Regret fled in the opposite direction without looking back. An icy path formed behind him.


    "An ice type spirit master, trying to out speed me in water?" The girl''s eyes turned cold as she jumped into the lake. The water beneath her feet spun rapidly and then transformed into a water column that carried her towards Blaze Regret.


    "Master Magi, Master Magi!" Blaze Regret called out frantically in his heart, but Master Magi in the Void Realm Stone seemed to be asleep, unresponsive no matter how many times he called. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched as he glanced at the rising water column behind him. His eye twitched too. He didn''t even have a reason to attack the girl, and even if he did, he couldn''t win!


    The girl, who looked even younger than him, was a genuine Imperial grade spirit master!


    In normal circumstances, Blaze Regret would be amazed, but now he had no time for such thoughts. If this continued, his life would be in danger. It was clear the girl had real killing intent!


    "Water Izze, use Water Swirl to bring him down!"


    The girl''s clear voice echoed. The water type spirit beast beside her immediately drew a deep blue magic circle. As the circle emerged, a whirlpool began to spin madly under Blaze Regret''s feet, trapping him in its center.


    "Flame Step!"


    Blaze Regret stomped on the ice with all his might, launching himself upward in an attempt to escape the whirlpool''s range. However, a faint smirk of mockery appeared on the girl''s lips.


    "Splosh!"


    The swirling vortex of water suddenly expanded, releasing a powerful suction force. Just as Blaze Regret jumped up, he fell back into the water with a splash. As he struggled to stand up again, a sharp, cold gleam suddenly slashed towards him.


    "Try running again if you can," the girl said, holding a long sword made of water waves against Blaze Regret''s throat. Her beautiful eyes were filled with icy coldness.


    Feeling the cold temperature at his throat, Blaze Regret''s face turned slightly pale. Before leaving Veloria City, he had already anticipated that his life could be in danger at any moment, but he never imagined that he would die at the hands of a young girl.


    Moreover, it was under the circumstance of being seen naked.


    "What exactly do you want?" Blaze Regret chuckled bitterly, seemingly giving up all resistance.


    "I¡­" The black clad girl frowned slightly, her glass like eyes filled with struggle. Several times, she wanted to thrust the water sword in her hand, but each time it touched Blaze Regret''s throat, she pulled it back.


    "I¡­ I will gouge out your eyes!" The girl seemed to finally come up with an idea, waving the water sword in front of Blaze Regret''s eyes, resembling a little girl throwing a tantrum.


    "Hey, are you mistaken? You saw me, not the other way around." Blaze Regret could only smile wryly.


    "Say that again!" The girl''s pretty face turned cold, and the water sword in her hand began to shake violently.


    "There''s something underwater!" Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s expression changed, and he pointed at the lake, shouting loudly.


    "Liar!" The girl stared at Blaze Regret, not believing him, but the next moment, two fiery red beams of light broke through the surface of the water, shooting straight at the girl''s chest.


    Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she extended her hand, and a wall of water formed in front of her. The two beams of fire dissipated automatically just before they hit the water wall.

 Chapter 182 - 182 David Chen

    "I''ll kill you!"


    Dismissing the water wall, the girl glared at Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, her pretty face turning livid as she furiously swung her water sword. Instantly, clear water columns surged up from the lake.


    ...


    "So close, I almost lost my life," Blaze Regret said, lying on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, speeding thousands of feet away. After confirming that no one was chasing him, he finally let out a heavy breath.


    "Exciting, wasn''t it?" Master Magi appeared, looking at Blaze Regret with a smiling expression.


    "Exciting my foot! Why didn''t you warn me earlier?" Blaze Regret angrily glared at Master Magi. This guy must have sensed the girl''s presence long ago, which is why he suddenly returned to the Void Realm Stone. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have experienced the previous scene.


    "Calm down, you were seen anyway," Master Magi shrugged helplessly, looking regretful.


    "You¡­" Blaze Regret picked up a rock from the ground and threw it at Master Magi with all his strength.


    "Stop fooling around." Master Magi caught the rock effortlessly and said with a light smile, "If I sensed correctly, that little girl controls a water attribute Mystic Beast."


    "A mystic Beast?" The rock Blaze Regret was holding fell to the ground with a thud, and he stared at Master Magi in shock. Did he hear that right? That girl actually had a mystic Beast?


    "Yes, and it''s one of the higher ranked ones in the mystic Beast Record," Master Magi nodded with a smile.


    Blaze Regret''s throat tightened as he glanced back. Although the Mystic Beast Record doesn''t rank beasts purely by strength, those at the top are certainly rarer. What kind of background does that girl have to control such a Mystic Beast at her age?


    "Feeling defeated?" Master Magi looked at Blaze Regret with a grin.


    "A bit," Blaze Regret admitted, shrugging helplessly. He had fought the Black water Flood Dragon alone for an elusive Mystic Beast and almost got killed by its tail, while a girl younger than him already controlled one.


    "Well, there''s nothing you can do about it. She has a strong backing. But for now, we can''t go back to that place. Let''s find somewhere to stay for the night," Master Magi said with a light smile and then retreated back into the Void realms Stone.


    When Blaze Regret woke up from his sleep, it was already morning. Warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, shining on his face.


    Stretching, Blaze Regret sat on a tree branch, feeling sore all over. After a while, he jumped to the ground, wincing at the pain in his chest.


    "The injury from the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros seems to be getting worse."


    Clutching his chest, Blaze Regret muttered to himself. Last time, he was injured by the Black water Flood Dragon and wasted several days. This time, he couldn''t let history repeat itself.


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret paused. At the edge of the Medicine Emperor Seed in his mind, a tiny sprout emerged, bringing with it a vast amount of information.


    "The Medicine Emperor Seed is changing?" Master Magi was slightly surprised.


    "Information about some low level spiritual herbs has appeared: White Lily Grass, Spirit Gathering Fruit. They should be in this forest. Let''s find them!" Blaze Regret''s face lit up with joy. The changes in the Medicine Emperor Seed undoubtedly deepened his understanding of spiritual herbs.


    White Lily Grass and Spirit Gathering Fruit could quickly heal a spiritual master''s injuries and were relatively easy to find. A few more rounds in the Hildan Mountain Range, and he would surely discover them.


    Along the way, Blaze Regret took down several waves of Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members, feeling a bit heavy hearted. It seemed Mon Dark was determined to eliminate him this time, sending these members to their deaths even though they knew they couldn''t defeat him.


    Standing on a huge rock, Blaze Regret looked down below, suddenly delighted. At the bottom of the valley, a lush small tree grew. This small tree was entirely emerald green, like exquisite jade. Among its branches and leaves, a faint white color appeared. Even from a distance, Blaze Regret could smell its refreshing fragrance.


    However, around the Spirit Gathering Fruit tree, seven or eight spirit hunters were commanding their spirit beasts to attack a golden lion.


    That golden lion, known as the Golden Armored Sword Lion, was an eighth tier medium level warrior grade. Even fighting alone, each swing of its claws sent a spirit beast flying. It was clear that the defeat of those spirit hunters was only a matter of time.


    "Muk Karthik?" Blaze Regret frowned as he looked at the figure below. Initially, he planned to sit back and let the Golden Armored Sword Lion defeat those spirit hunters before stepping in to seize the Spirit Gathering Fruit. But with the appearance of someone he knew, he had to abandon that idea.


    At the bottom of the valley.


    Surrounding the Golden Armored Sword Lion, several Cloud Sand Leopards watched it cautiously. In their open mouths, sand spears formed and then shot out, landing on the Golden Armored Sword Lion with crisp collision sounds.


    "Why is this beast so hard to deal with!" S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The leading man, his face icy cold, stared at the Golden Armored Sword Lion. He initially thought that their combined efforts would easily take it down, but the lion''s defensive power far exceeded their expectations.


    "David chen, we should retreat," Muk Karthik said with a bitter smile, standing in front of a thorn tree with several broken branches.


    "Retreat? The Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group really is cowardly," David Chen sneered dismissively.


    "Roar!"


    At that moment, the body of the Golden Armored Sword Lion suddenly radiated a brilliant glow, and for a moment, it seemed to eclipse the sunlight.


    "It has ascended in rank?" David Chen''s face instantly turned extremely grim.


    Sorry for late update. I got somework to do. Will try to improve to update more on time later.

 Chapter 183 - 183 Return Kindness with Enmity

    The Golden Armor Sword Lion roared towards the sky, and the golden fur on its body started to grow bit by bit at this moment, with its aura suddenly increasing significantly.


    "Eighth rank." The present spirit hunters felt a chill in their hearts. They already struggled to handle the seventh tier Golden Armor Sword Lion, and after it advanced, there was no chance of victory!


    The Golden Armor Sword Lion lowered its head, its gaze sweeping around coldly. With a slight step forward of its front paw, six golden swords of light appeared around it, rotating slowly and emitting an extremely sharp aura.


    "Not good!" David Chen''s pupils contracted slightly.


    The Golden Armor Sword Lion''s body shook, and the six golden swords of light whistled out one after another. Any Cloud Sand Leopards they grazed spat blood and retreated. One of them was directly pierced through and nailed to a rock, losing its vitality on the spot.


    "Roar!"


    With another roar, six more golden swords of light condensed around the Golden Armor Sword Lion, rotating and emitting a crisp sword sound.


    "It''s over!" Several spirit hunters showed despair on their faces. Their Cloud Sand Leopards didn''t even have a chance to resist in front of the Golden Armor Sword Lion. Given its ruthless nature, it would certainly dissembel them all.


    With a cold gaze, the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s eyes fell on Muk Karthik. Among all the spirit hunters present, he was the weakest, naturally making him the easiest target.


    "Thorn Tree, defend!" Seeing that the Golden Armor Sword Lion had locked onto him, Muk Karthik''s face turned pale, and a sense of despair filled his heart.


    "Whoosh!"


    The six golden swords whistled towards him. Just as they were about to pierce through the thorn tree''s trunk, an icy aura suddenly enveloped the area. Then, with several crisp sounds, the dazzling swords shattered completely. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Who?" David Chen''s eyes filled with joy; no matter who it was, they were saved today!


    "Blaze Regret?" Muk Karthik saw the figure descending from the sky, a look of incredulity flashing in his eyes. Wasn''t this guy supposed to have fallen into the Black water River? How could he still be alive!


    After cautiously sizing up David Chen and the others, Muk Karthik breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group had just returned from outside and didn''t know what Blaze Regret looked like. Otherwise, if the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group found out, Blaze Regret might be in danger.


    "Step aside, I''ll handle this Golden Armor Sword Lion."


    Blaze Regret walked up to Muk Karthik, smiling faintly. The Ice Control Irenix circling in the sky suddenly swooped down, its sharp icy wings surrounded by a chilling aura, slashing down violently.


    "Clang!"


    The Golden Armor Sword Lion raised its sharp claws, attempting to tear the Ice Control Irenix''s wings apart. However, the pain that surged through it made its heart skip a beat, and it quickly retreated.


    "Where do you think you''re going?"


    Blaze Regret''s calm voice echoed as the Ice Control Irenix flapped its wings, releasing a dense cold air. In front of it, an ice wheel about ten feet in diameter formed. With a swishing sound, the ice wheel flew out, aiming to slash down on the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s head.


    "Roar!"


    Anger surged in its eyes as the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s body shuddered. Six golden swords of light surrounded it, rising and forming a magnificent sword wheel. The sword wheel clashed with the ice wheel.


    "Clang!"


    The sound of metal clashing resounded. The flawless ice wheel shattered largely under the impact of the golden sword wheel. However, the sword wheel exploded on the spot.


    After a brief pause, the damaged ice wheel, carrying an icy chill, slashed down. A crack appeared on the seemingly tough body of the Golden Armor Sword Lion.


    With a painful roar, the Golden Armor Sword Lion''s eyes filled with fear. It immediately turned around and fled towards the distance without looking back.


    Watching the once majestic Golden Armor Sword Lion fall in an instant, the spirit hunters present all widened their eyes in shock. Their gazes towards Blaze Regret now carried a hint of wariness.


    "Thank you, little brother!" David Chen quickly stepped forward and cupped his fists in gratitude.


    "No problem..." Blaze Regret had just begun to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He covered his mouth with his hand, and a trace of blood seeped through his fingers.


    "Are you alright?" Muk Karthik asked nervously.


    With a bitter smile, Blaze Regret waved his hand. He sighed inwardly, knowing that the injuries caused by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros hadn''t healed yet. During last night''s escape, he had used a lot of spiritual power, aggravating his injuries. So, whenever he used the spiritual power within his spirit Portal, a piercing pain surged through him.


    Seeing the blood on Blaze Regret''s hand, David Chen''s eyes narrowed, and a trace of coldness flashed deep within his eyes.


    "You''re injured, little brother?" David Chen asked slowly.


    "A minor injury." Blaze Regret frowned inwardly. From David Chen''s expression, he sensed a hint of malice. Although he maintained a smile on his face, a sense of caution had already arisen within him.


    David Chen glanced at the Ice Control Irenix. Noticing that its right wing was somewhat damaged, a smirk appeared on his lips, further solidifying his thoughts.


    "Let me introduce you. These are members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group. This is their leader, David Chen, a seventh rank warrior tier spirit master," Muk Karthik said softly. It was evident that he held some fear towards David Chen.


    "Why is it the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group? What about the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?" Blaze Regret asked, his brows furrowed. Could it be that something had happened to the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group?


    "Our leader took some people out of Hildan Town a few days ago."


    Sorry for late upadte and Thanks you for support me.

 Chapter 184 - 184 Return Kindness with Enmity 2

    Muk Karthik shook his head with a bitter smile and whispered, "The Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group has long been displeased with us. Among the many spirit hunting groups in Hildan Town, we are the only ones who refused to pay tribute. So, on that day in the Hildan Arena, Mon Black intended to kill Yun Suhaila on stage, forcing Uncle Yun Anuar to resist.


    They would then use this as an excuse to wipe out the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed, and the self blame in his heart diminished significantly. It seemed that the current situation of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group was the result of long term scheming by Mon Dark and others, unrelated to him.


    While Blaze Regret and Muk Karthik were talking, David Chen had already walked to the Spirit Gathering Fruit Tree. After a moment''s thought, he picked a Spirit Gathering Fruit and smiled, saying, "Little brother, thank you for your help. Consider this Spirit Gathering Fruit as a token of my gratitude."


    Seeing the dozens of Spirit Gathering Fruits on the tree, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. Moments ago, it was a rescue, but now it had turned into mere assistance. Clearly, David Chen wanted to downplay the life saving favor he owed.


    "Why?" Blaze Regret asked calmly. Even if all the Spirit Gathering Fruits were given to him, it would be justifiable, especially since they were currently ownerless. So, what right did David Chen have to offer one as a token of gratitude?


    Moreover, it was just one out of dozens.


    "Little brother, although we are grateful for your help, even without you, we could have easily handled the Golden Armor Sword Lion," David Chen said with a cheerful shrug. Behind him, several spirit hunters glared menacingly as a group of Cloud Sand Leopards slowly surrounded Blaze Regret.


    Several Cloud Sand Leopards surrounded Blaze Regret. Their open mouths faintly emitted spiritual energy, causing the atmosphere to instantly turn tense.


    "David Chen, what are you trying to do?" Muk Karthik''s face turned anxious. Though he had long known that this leader of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group was no good, he never expected him to be this shameless.


    Not only did he show no gratitude, but he also wanted to attack Blaze Regret, who had saved them!


    "Young brother, this Spirit Gathering Fruit is a token of gratitude for your help earlier. Please leave now; our Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group has some matters to attend to," David Chen said with a smile.


    If Blaze Regret were in peak condition, David Chen wouldn''t have entertained such ideas. But since Blaze Regret was heavily injured, he had fewer concerns.


    "What if I refuse?" Blaze Regret looked at David Chen and said calmly.


    "Please don''t make this difficult for us," David Chen replied with a helpless smile. With a wave of his hand, the Cloud Sand Leopards'' mouths began to churn with energy. At his command, all their attacks would rain down on Blaze Regret.


    At that moment, even if Blaze Regret didn''t die, he would be gravely injured!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly turned around.


    "That''s more like it," David Chen sneered, and several spirit hunters behind him laughed out loud.


    "Are you fucking overconfident or what!"


    As Blaze Regret walked away, he suddenly turned back, his tightly clenched fist generating a violent whooshing sound as it smashed into David Chen''s face.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones breaking echoed. David Chen''s pupils contracted, and his body was sent flying backward. A mouthful of thick blood, mixed with a few teeth, spurted out.


    "Kill him for me!" David Chen, holding his twisted face, slightly disbelieved that Blaze Regret had actually dared to strike. He then shouted loudly.


    As David Chen''s words fell, beams of energy shot out from the mouths of the Cloud Sand Leopards, surging toward the central position where Blaze Regret stood.


    "Ice Control Irenix, Ice Prism!"


    With its light blue wings flapping, the Ice Control Irenix swooped down. Transparent ice mirrors formed around Blaze Regret. When the energy beams struck the ice prisms, they merely quivered before dissipating.


    "How is this possible!" David Chen''s face turned slightly grim. The Ice Control Irenix was injured too, so how could it still generate such sturdy ice mirrors?


    "Attack its right wing!" David Chen''s expression hardened as he pointed to the ice wing that had been shattered by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Immediately, the Cloud Sand Leopards raised their heads, and beams of earth yellow energy shot out, attacking the Ice Control Irenix from a distance.


    Blaze Regret merely smirked mockingly in response. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the energy beams approached, the Ice Control Irenix hovered in mid air, gently flapping its flawless ice wings, showing no intention of defending itself. Seeing this, David Chen''s heart leaped with joy.


    "Boom!"


    The energy beams struck the Ice Control Irenix, and a cloud of earth yellow energy spread out like a ring, enveloping the Ice Control Irenix''s figure.


    "Did we succeed?" David Chen was overjoyed. He then glared venomously at Blaze Regret, thinking to himself that he would soon break Blaze Regret''s limbs and throw him into the Giant Pincer Ant nest to suffer the pain of being devoured by thousands of ants.


    As the cloud of yellow energy gradually dissipated, the scene that unfolded made David Chen''s sinister smile freeze. The Ice Control Irenix still hovered in mid air, its flawless ice wings untouched by even a speck of dust, let alone shattered.


    "This is impossible!" David Chen exclaimed, his hand trembling with fear beneath his sleeve.


    Blaze Regret let out a soft snort. Only a monster like the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros could injure the current Ice Control Irenix. Ordinary spirit beasts of the warrior level couldn''t leave a mark on it, let alone a few mere Cloud Sand Leopards.


    Sorry for late update and Thanks you for support me.

 Chapter 185 - 185 Spirit king Master Tomb

    The Ice Control Irenix gazed coldly downwards, a flash of chill passing through its eyes. Its ice wings folded slightly and then suddenly flared open, sending several sharp ice feathers slicing through the air in pale blue arcs, shooting violently toward the Cloud Sand Leopards'' heads.


    "Swoosh!"


    Blood splattered. Almost without exception, the Cloud Sand Leopards fell to the ground before they even had a chance to resist, crimson blood streaming down from the ice feathers embedded in their heads.


    Watching the bodies of the Cloud Sand Leopards, Muk Karthik''s lips twitched. These were the elite forces of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group, comparable to their own Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. And yet, they had all met their end at Blaze Regret''s hands so easily.


    "You think just because my spirit beast is injured, you have a chance?" Blaze Regret sneered at David Chen. If the Ice Control Irenix hadn''t been strengthened by the Ice Lake Stone Flower, he might have been in trouble. But in this world, there are no ''ifs.''


    "I''m warning you, you''d better not touch me!" David Chen shouted, trying to appear fierce, but his trembling hands betrayed his inner fear as Blaze Regret slowly approached.


    "Give me a reason not to," Blaze Regret said, amusement in his eyes.


    "I''m a close friend of Mon Star, the deputy leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. If I die, they won''t let you go!" David Chen clenched his fists, trying to sound threatening.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but shake his head in disbelief. If David Chen hadn''t mentioned his connection to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, he might have let him go. But now, he had no reason to do so.


    "Blaze Regret, can you do me a favor?" Muk Karthik suddenly stepped up beside Blaze Regret, his face cold.


    "Speak," Blaze Regret nodded slightly. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Kill these members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group. They have committed unspeakable acts in Hildan Town, including assaulting many female spirit hunters," Muk Karthik said, glaring at David Chen and his men with hatred.


    "Muk Karthik, you''re courting death! If anything happens to me, both you and him will die with me!" David Chen snarled, his face twisted with rage.


    "David Chen, do you know who I am?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a smile. It figured that anyone associated with the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group would be no good.


    "No matter who you are, in Hildan Town, the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is like the heavens!" David Chen laughed loudly, as if convinced that Blaze Regret wouldn''t dare to make a move.


    "Smack!"


    In a swift motion, Blaze Regret darted in front of David Chen and kicked him to the ground. He then stepped on David Chen''s chest, chuckling lightly, "The name''s Blaze Regret. The heavens you speak of have already been pierced by me. I''m really sorry about that."


    "Blaze Regret?" Upon hearing the name, David Chen''s expression changed dramatically, and his eyes filled with intense fear, as if he had completely forgotten that he was being stepped on by Blaze Regret.


    There were things that Muk Karthik didn''t know, but David Chen was fully aware of them. The third leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, who had gone missing recently, had fallen at Blaze Regret''s hands!


    "Swish!"


    With a wave of his hand, Blaze Regret sent shards of icy blades whistling through the air. The few members of the Cloud Sand Spirit Hunting Group who had tried to escape fell to the ground instantly.


    "Now, it''s your turn."


    Catching the returning ice blade, Blaze Regret held it against David Chen''s throat, smiling as he spoke.


    "Hehe, since you could defeat Mon Black, beating me now is nothing to be proud of," David Chen looked up at Blaze Regret and sneered, but his smile was filled with venom.


    "Do you see me being proud?" Blaze Regret shook his head with a wry smile. Defeating Mon Black might have given him some sense of accomplishment, but crushing David Chen underfoot couldn''t stir even a ripple in his heart.


    Raising his hand slowly, Blaze Regret glanced at David Chen, then slashed the ice blade in his hand toward David Chen''s throat.


    "Spare me, and I can tell you some secrets about the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group!" Feeling the cold air rushing towards him, David Chen''s face finally showed an undisguised face, and he shouted loudly.


    The ice blade stopped in mid air. Blaze Regret looked at David Chen with interest, but the foot on David Chen''s chest did not move an inch.


    "Recently, Mon Dark seemed to have found some treasure land. According to rumors, it might be the tomb of a Spirit King master, containing his lifetime''s collection." David Chen spoke extremely fast, as if afraid that Blaze Regret would lose patience and swing the ice blade down.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret''s heart was slightly moved.


    The Spirit King is a level higher than the Spirit Lord, but the gap between them is like a chasm. Even the strongest Spirit Lord would find it hard to gain the upper hand against a Spirit King master.


    "Do you know where that place is?" Blaze Regret smiled and retracted the ice blade that was suspended in mid air, placing it behind his back along with his hand.


    "Hehe, of course, I know. But you have to release me first and give me half of the Spirit Gathering Fruits, otherwise, even if I die, you won''t get any information." David Chen sneered, holding this chip in his hand, not believing that Blaze Regret wouldn''t be tempted.


    "Really no choice, huh."


    Blaze Regret lifted the foot pressing on David Chen''s chest, but just as a smug smile appeared on David Chen''s face, Blaze Regret''s arm suddenly swung down, fiercely thrusting the ice blade into David Chen''s chest. "Whether you die or not, who cares? At worst, I''ll just pay a visit to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group myself."

 Chapter 186 - 186 Meet Again

    The smug smile froze on his face as David Chen, half raised, slowly fell back, his eyes full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that Blaze Regret would be so decisive in killing him, even with the temptation of a Spirit King master''s tomb.


    "Good kill!" Muk karthik kicked David Chen''s corpse several times, his face full of satisfaction.


    "How did you end up with them?" Blaze Regret looked at Muk karthik with confusion. From his earlier demeanor, it was clear he had a grudge against the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group. So how did he end up joining them in the fight against the Golden Armored Sword Lion?


    "It''s a long story."


    Muk karthik smiled bitterly and shook his head. "The Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group has long been in name only. Uncle Yun Anuar dispersed the internal members among various smaller hunting groups to preserve our strength. Otherwise, given the methods of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, we would have been exterminated long ago."


    Blaze Regret nodded lightly in understanding. In Velorian City, when some families faced imminent destruction, they would spread out some of their members to preserve their lineage. This act of showing weakness might help them survive the crisis.


    "Blaze Regret, thank you so much for today. If it weren''t for your timely intervention, I might have died here. Now, I will leave this place. Since the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group no longer exists, there''s no reason for me to stay." Muk karthik gave a bitter smile, cupped his hands towards Blaze Regret, and prepared to leave.


    "Wait." Blaze Regret walked to the Spirit Gathering Fruit Tree, picked a few fruits, thought for a moment, and then took out an unused void realms stone. After placing all the Spirit Gathering Fruits inside, he nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and the void realms stone traced an arc before landing in Muk karthik''s hand.


    "This..." Muk karthik looked at the void realms stone in his palm, feeling a bit dry mouthed.


    The value of an void realms stone was self explanatory, something an average spirit master could hardly afford, let alone containing several valuable Spirit Gathering Fruits.


    "We''re friends. I don''t have much to give you. If you ever need help, feel free to come to Veloria City. The Blaze family still holds some weight there." Blaze Regret smiled at Muk karthik, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes.


    The Blaze family... It''s been a while since I left. I wonder what the situation at home is now.


    "Thank you!"


    With a grateful bow, Muk karthik turned and left. As a member of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group, he naturally wouldn''t stay in a place where he no longer felt a sense of belonging.


    Blaze Regret shook his head lightly and raised his hand, carefully placing every Spirit Gathering Fruit from the tree into his void realms stone. Such valuable items could even heal the injuries of a spirit master and might come in handy someday.

    Returning to Blaze Regret''s side, the damaged ice wings of the Ice Control Irenix had healed considerably. The bodies of ice type spirit beasts were made entirely of ice, and they could heal themselves by absorbing the ice attribute spiritual energy in the air.


    He opened the second spirit portal and took the Ice Control Irenix inside. Blaze Regret glanced at the sky before turning and disappearing into the forest.


    Most of his day had been spent searching for the Spirit Gathering Fruit, but fortunately, the result did not disappoint him. With the help of the Spirit Gathering Fruit, the injuries caused by the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros would likely heal soon.


    The forest at dusk was extremely peaceful, and night fell quickly. The hazy moonlight enveloped the treetops, and the evening breeze brought a refreshing coolness.


    Surrounded by a few Night Feather Fireflies, Blaze Regret walked through the woods, his brows slightly furrowed. If what David Chen said was true, then Mon Dark and his group would definitely head to that tomb. If they obtained something to enhance their strength from it, it would become difficult for him to stay in the Hildan Mountains.


    "Whoosh!"


    As Blaze Regret pondered, the Red on his shoulder suddenly opened its eyes wide in alarm, its blue pupils staring intently ahead. Two rings of fire spikes appeared in the air.


    "Who''s there?" Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened as he spread his hand, causing sharp ice blades to spin rapidly.


    "Can you still run?"


    A voice as clear as a spring in a secluded valley echoed in his ears, causing Blaze Regret''s mouth to twitch. Then, from behind a massive tree, a slender and graceful figure slowly emerged.


    Seeing the cold and beautiful face of the young girl, Blaze Regret felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and instinctively took a few steps back.


    "Still trying to run?" The girl''s graceful figure moved, bringing with it a fragrant breeze. In an instant, she was in front of Blaze Regret, her snow white hand mercilessly striking his chest.


    "Ugh!"


    A sharp pain erupted in his chest, and an unhealthy flush quickly spread across Blaze Regret''s face. A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, splattering alarmingly on the ground.


    "Why didn''t you dodge?" The young girl in black saw Blaze Regret spitting blood, and her glassy eyes trembled slightly. Her speed just now wasn''t that fast, and with ''s strength as a seventh tier warrior grade spirit master, it shouldn''t have been difficult for him to evade.


    Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealed a wry smile. The previous incident was clearly his fault for breaking the barrier first, which led to the awkward situation later. Ultimately, it was his mistake.


    "How about this, you hit me a few more times, and then we''re even. How does that sound?" looked up at the young girl in black and grinned awkwardly.


    Support me guys for more chapter. Thanks you for those that support me

 Chapter 187 - 187 Saving Yun Suhaila

    "You still have the nerve to laugh!" The girl gritted her teeth, glared at , then stomped her foot hard and turned to leave.


    "Don''t let me see you again!"


    Hearing this, raised his eyebrows in surprise. Under normal circumstances, a girl wouldn''t let such a thing go so easily. It seemed like she wasn''t planning to pursue it any further?


    "I have to say, you''re very lucky."


    Master Magi drifted out from the Void Realm Stone, gently waved his hand, and a golden halo spread out. Wherever it touched, droplets of energy appeared. As the girl in black left, these droplets gradually shrank and eventually dissipated completely.


    Feeling the lingering terrifying aura in the air, Blaze Regret''s body shivered slightly. If the girl in black had harbored even a bit of killing intent, he would have been turned into a beehive by now unless Master Magi had intervened.


    Dragging his heavy steps, walked into the tree hollow and sat down cross legged, recalling the somewhat romantic scene by the lake. His earlobes suddenly felt a bit warm.


    "What, have you taken a liking to her?" Master Magi glanced at teasingly.


    "How could that be? Would you like someone who points a sword at you?" retorted immediately without thinking.


    "Tsk tsk."


    Master Magi shook his head playfully and laughed, "Judging by that little girl''s demeanor, she seems to have just entered the mortal world and hasn''t yet been tainted by the killing aura. If she gains more experience, she probably wouldn''t have wasted any words and would have killed you on the spot." sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing this, , Blaze Regret who had finally come to his senses, felt a sudden tightness in his chest, a wave of relief washing over him.


    "Don''t talk. I need to refine the Spirit Gathering Fruit!"


    Seeing Master Magi about to speak again,Blaze Regret quickly waved his hand, looking guilty as a thief, which made Master Magi chuckle.


    "This is the first time I''ve seen someone get chased after being seen naked," Master Magi sighed with a hint of amusement before returning to the Void Realm Stone.


    "Mind your own business!" Blaze Regret snapped angrily, slapping the Void Realm Stone. Red, who was lying nearby, almost burst out laughing.


    ...


    A ray of dawn slowly pulled back the curtain of night.


    Blaze Regret walked out of the tree hollow, gently twisting his neck. The crisp sounds made his heart feel refreshed.


    The Spirit Gathering Fruit truly lived up to its reputation as recorded by the Medicine Emperor. Its effects were comparable to those of elixirs. After refining just one, the injury on ''s chest had mostly healed.


    "It''s time to pay a visit to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group."


    Blaze Regret rubbed Red''s fuzzy little head, a faint coldness flashing in his eyes. He had never forgotten the culprit who had driven him into these mountains.


    Hildan Town wasn''t far from here. After three hours, the man and the Cat found themselves amidst a bustling crowd.


    Walking through the noisy town again, Blaze Regret felt a bit disoriented. In just half a month, it felt like decades had passed, and everything around him seemed so unfamiliar.


    With his face hidden under a black robe, Blaze Regret entered an inn. The steaming hot food made both him and Red eat heartily, stuffing their mouths desperately. There was no such delicacy in the desolate mountains.


    After a while, Blaze Regret put down his bowl and chopsticks, letting out a satisfied burp. Red, too, patted its round belly with a look of contentment.


    "Things have been quite unsettled in the east lately. I''ve heard that many powerful spirit hunters are heading there, and even some hidden experts have appeared."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to get up and leave, a sudden voice made him slowly sit back down. His empty teacup was filled with tea once again.


    "You don''t say. There might be some truth to it. Guess who I saw a few days ago?"


    "Out with it, or I''ll give you a beating!"


    "Hehe, just kidding. I''ll tell you, I saw Charles Taylor!"


    As soon as this name was mentioned, a wave of astonishment spread around, and whispers filled the room. The person who spoke earlier looked extremely proud.


    "Who... is Charles Taylor?"


    From a corner, ''s weak voice suddenly sounded, drawing a wave of disdain.


    "You don''t even know who Charles Taylor is and dare to hang around Hildan Town? Let me tell you, Charles Taylor is a true genius. At the mere age of twenty, he has already become a powerful spirit Imperial master!"


    Under the black robe, Blaze Regret took a sip of tea, a look of seriousness quietly appearing on his face.


    A spirit Imperial master, huh? He had thought that Hildan Town only had Mon Dark and Mon Den as spirit Imperial masters. Now it seemed that things were far from simple.


    And then there was that black clad girl...


    Thinking of her, Blaze Regret''s eyes became a bit unfocused. He really wondered about her identity and which mystical beast from the Spirit portal she possessed.


    "Heh, a spirit Imperial master at twenty, what a joke!"


    The sudden cold shout snapped out of his thoughts. He saw a young man slam the table heavily and sneer, "I''m Robert Brown, eighteen years old and already a ninth tier spirit warrior master. It won''t be long before I break through to become a spirit Imperial master. What genius? In front of me, it''s nothing but crap!"


    "Eighteen year old ninth tier spirit warrior master..."


    The entire tavern fell silent as they stared at the young man in shock. Robert Brown''s face was full of pride, as if this was the reaction he wanted.


    A ninth tier spirit warrior master was a formidable figure in Hildan Town. Just looking at Mon Black would tell you that. But Robert Brown''s age was undoubtedly much younger.


    "Another troublemaker," Blaze Regret sighed, putting down his teacup. Hildan Town was indeed getting more and more lively. It seemed that David Chen''s information was probably true.

 Chapter 188 - 188 Saving Yun Suhaila 2

    The tomb of a Spirit King master expert was an irresistible temptation for spirit warrior masters, let alone spirit Imperial masters.


    "Big news! Yun Suhaila of the Blue Blade Spirit Hunting Group seems to have fallen into the hands of Mon Star!"


    A spirit hunter with sparse hair suddenly rushed into the tavern, shouting out a highly discussable piece of news.


    In an instant, the tavern felt like a bomb had been dropped. The previously quiet atmosphere exploded, and voices echoed throughout the room.


    "Yun Suhaila? That little girl is quite pretty. It''s going to be tough for her now!"


    "Who says otherwise? That old man Yun Anuar must be regretting it deeply now. Why on earth did he provoke the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?"


    Listening to the surrounding discussions, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes.


    Mon Star was really asking for death!


    After done eating, Blaze Regret headed straight for the shop selling materials.


    The shop sold all kinds of materials, both ordinary and rare. Blaze Regret''s main goal was to gather the ingredients listed in the recipe to quickly produce the intermediate spirit beast food that he got from kill Mon Black in his Void Realms Stone..


    Here''s the materials list!" Blaze Regret handed the prepared list of materials to the shop assistant. To avoid revealing the recipe, he also added a few common items.


    "Please wait a moment!" said the assistant before starting to gather the materials on the list.


    It didn''t take long before the assistant placed the gathered materials in front of Blaze Regret, counting them in his presence to ensure nothing was missing. Then, they were sorted into wooden boxes, assembled into a package, and handed over to Blaze Regret.


    In addition to the materials, there were also a few tools for food preparation, which came at a considerable cost. However, based on the quantity of materials, once everything was made, it would be enough to supply several spirit beast for some time.


    As night fell, Blaze Regret finally stepped out of the inn. He glanced at the dim sky and then exhaled softly, heading towards the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.


    Compared to the desolate mountains, the town of Hildan was undoubtedly much livelier at night. Lanterns containing nightfire fireflies hung in front of the shops, emitting a bright glow.


    Within the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group was a very spacious square. At this moment, the square was exceptionally noisy. Hunters from the group sat around tables, laughing and clinking their mugs. Their coarse language could easily make any respectable woman blush.


    "Hehe, this wine is strong. I can drink a few more jugs. Save some for me. I''m going to take a leak, and I''ll be back to drink more!"


    A spirit hunter suddenly stood up, staggering out. He shook his body in front of a big tree.


    With a slight grin at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret swiftly descended from the treetop, grabbing the spirit hunter by the neck and dragging him away at the fastest speed. The noisy square behind them didn''t notice the commotion.


    After covering a distance of a hundred yards, they reached a low lying area where Blaze Regret let go of the hunter. With a flick of his finger, a small ice breaking blade formed and pressed forcefully against the hunter''s neck.


    "Who are you?"


    The cold sensation on his neck instantly sobered the spirit hunter. He looked at Blaze Regret with a terrified expression, and uncontrollably, a yellow stream of liquid flowed down his body.


    "Didn''t you just pee?" Blaze Regret cursed and kicked him, then coldly asked, "Where is Mon Star''s room located?"


    "What are you trying to do? I belong to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. If you dare to touch me, our leader won''t spare you!" The hunter''s voice trembled, but his words carried a strong threat.


    "Am I supposed to be afraid of your leader?" Blaze Regret sneered. A night feather firefly flew in front of his face, revealing his features, which instantly filled the hunter with fear.


    "You are Blaze Regret!" The hunter''s teeth chattered.


    "Cut the crap, tell me where Mon Star''s room is within three breaths!" Blaze Regret pressed the ice blade in his hand harder, and the oozing blood made the spirit hunter spill all the information he knew.


    Shaking off the blood from the ice blade, Blaze Regret ignored the now lifeless hunter, stood up, and leaped onto higher ground. He carefully crossed several tall walls and arrived at the room the hunter had mentioned.


    "Damn, it''s such a mess, not even a place to hide."


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly, then looked up and saw a beam sturdy enough to support a person. His mouth curled into a grin.

    "Where did john Johnson go? He just went to take a leak, why isn''t he back yet?" A spirit hunter, reeking of alcohol, stared outside with a dazed look.


    "Hehe, do you even need to ask? That guy''s probably off kicking some widow''s door again. He won''t be back tonight!" Another spirit hunter laughed, downed his drink in one gulp, and then collapsed, snoring loudly.


    "Brothers, make sure you eat and drink well!"


    Mon Star, looking smug, passed by several tables, but only took symbolic sips of wine each time. After all, he had more important matters to attend to tonight.


    "Creak!"


    Leaning on the beam, Blaze Regret tensed slightly at the sound of the door opening below. However, it wasn''t Mon Star who entered but two maids, carrying a panicked Yun Suhaila between them.


    "Let me go, please!" Yun Suhaila''s voice had a hint of sobbing and sounded extremely weak.


    "Let you go? And where would you go?" One of the maids sneered maliciously. "With a double dose of the soft bone powder, you can''t even walk. Tonight, you''ll serve Young Master Mon well."


    "Such a good opportunity, and you don''t cherish it properly. If the Young Master hadn''t forbidden it, I would''ve added something else to the soft bone powder long ago," one of the maids said gleefully as she placed Yun Suhaila on the bed. Her gaze made Yun Suhaila''s face turn pale.

 Chapter 189 - 189 Saving Yun Suhaila 3

    "Emma smitch, do you think she''ll survive for a month?" the maid who spoke earlier asked, eyeing Yun Suhaila with a sinister smile.


    "Who knows? But if she doesn''t die in a month, the Young Master''s interest will surely fade. By then, we can sell her somewhere else and make another fortune," the maid named Emma Smitch said, pinching Yun Suhaila''s cheek with a look of anticipation.


    "Where are you going to sell me..." Yun Suhaila asked in terror, struggling weakly but without any strength.


    "Where? Naturally, to an interesting place." The two maids laughed loudly and left, closing the wooden door with a bang, leaving Yun Suhaila trembling on the bed.


    Leaning on the beam, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed coldly. This Draconic Spirit Hunters group was rotten to the core, even the two lowly maids were so brazen.


    "Creak~"


    The sound of the wooden door opening was particularly grating in the silent night. Amidst the sycophantic laughter of the two maids, Mon Star, reeking of alcohol, walked in with slow, heavy steps. The loud closing of the door made Yun Suhaila''s body tremble, and she didn''t dare to breathe.


    "Yun Suhaila, didn''t expect this, did you?" Mon Star walked leisurely to the bed, his smile twisted and sinister.


    Seeing Mon Star approaching, Yun Suhaila''s face turned ashen. She tried to move back but felt the cold touch of the wall, plunging her heart into despair.


    "Don''t struggle. A double dose of soft bone powder can even incapacitate a Spirit Imperial Master. You''re just a mere fourth tier Spirit warrior grade. Just lie in bed quietly," Mon Star said, his eyes gleaming with excitement.


    "Mon Star, you despicable bastard!" Yun Suhaila''s cheeks trembled as she shouted.


    "Despicable?"


    Mon Star''s eyes turned cold as he sneered, "Because of you, our Draconic Spirit Hunters'' Hildan Arena was completely destroyed by that brat Blaze Regret. Our current income is nearly 60% less than before. As a token of my gratitude, I will do something even more despicable to you. It''s a pity, though. If Blaze Regret could enjoy this show with us, it would be even more delightful."


    With that, Mon Star reached out his hand, intending to tear Yun Suhaila''s clothes.


    As the shadow loomed over her, Yun Suhaila bit her lip tightly, and a look of determination emerged in her eyes.


    "Tsk tsk, this scene isn''t exciting enough, Young Master Mon Star. How about we make it a bit more interesting?"


    A sudden voice startled Mon Star. He quickly raised his head to see a young man in a black robe, lazily leaning against the beam, staring at him with a half smile.


    "Blaze Regret?" Mon Star''s pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Blaze Regret. He couldn''t believe that Blaze Regret dared to return to Hildan Town and even infiltrated the Draconic Hunting Spirit Group.


    Yun Suhaila, lying on the bed, also looked incredulous. Her rosy lips parted slightly, and a look of urgency appeared in her eyes.


    "Leave quickly! Mon Dark and Mon Den are both in the Draconic Hunting Spirit Group right now!" Yun Suhaila urged Blaze Regret anxiously.


    "Leave?"


    Coming back to his senses, Mon Star''s face slowly twisted into a mocking smile. "Blaze Regret, you are truly audacious. There''s a road to heaven, but you refuse to take it; there''s no gate to hell, but you come knocking. In that case, you can leave your life behind!"


    As the mocking voice faded, Mon Star waved his hand, and a communication shell appeared in his palm. A thread of earth yellow spiritual power surged into the shell.


    However, seeing this, Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly, still leaning against the beam, watching Mon Star with interest. Yun Suhaila''s face was already filled with terror.


    "Father, Blaze Regret is in my room. Bring people over quickly. Tonight, I want to tear him apart!" Mon Star put down the communication shell, his eyes cold as he looked at Blaze Regret, his voice brimming with satisfaction.


    Thinking of killing Blaze Regret today put Mon Star in an extremely good mood.


    Lightly tapping the beam with his finger, Blaze Regret chuckled, "Young Master Mon Star, take a look at your communication shell. You might find a surprise."


    Mon Star''s face changed slightly. He quickly raised the shell, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.


    The pearl inside the shell was completely dull. His message hadn''t been sent out at all!


    "What did you do!" Mon Star glared angrily at Blaze Regret. Stomping his foot on the ground, the rocks cracked, and a gray white rock snake emerged, segment by segment, completely wrapping Mon Star''s body in protection.


    "Do you think you can defeat me?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled up playfully, his voice tinged with a faint mockery.


    Hearing this, Mon Star''s face turned ugly. On the day at the Hildan Arena, Blaze Regret was just a fifth tier spirit warrior grade , two tiers below his own seventh tier spirit warrior grade. Yet in a blink of an eye, Blaze Regret had also reached the seventh tier spirit warrior grade. This speed was truly astonishing.


    More importantly, Blaze Regret''s seventh tier spirit warrior grade was far stronger than his. Even Mon Den had met his end at Blaze Regret''s hands, not to mention an ordinary seventh tier spirit warrior grade.


    Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in Mon Star''s eyes. The tail of the rock snake beside him whipped the ground fiercely, producing a dull collision sound that echoed through the room.


    "Blaze Regret, my father will hear this noise and be here in no time. When that happens, you''re dead!" Mon Star grinned and laughed heartily. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly. With a wave of his hand, an ice breaking blade suddenly shot out, slashing fiercely at the wooden door.


    "Crack!"


    After a brief stalemate, the ice breaking blade shattered inch by inch upon the wooden door, transforming into countless crystalline ice shards that fell to the ground.

 Chapter 190 - 190 Saving Yun Suhaila 4

    A ripple of golden waves slightly undulated around the room, like waves completely isolating the sound inside from the outside.


    "What is this!" Mon Star''s face turned ashen, and a sense of panic overwhelmed him. His previously alcohol clouded mind became instantly sober. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "If it weren''t for wanting to ask you some questions, this wouldn''t have been so troublesome."


    A cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The red on his chest suddenly shot down, its blue eyes coldly staring at the rock snake while its claws, wrapped in blue flames, fiercely struck down at its head.


    "Rock Snake, Rock Scale Rain!"


    Amid Mon Star''s fearful voice, the scales on the rock snake''s body suddenly stood up and quickly detached, shooting towards the descending red with piercing wind breaking force.


    "Whoosh!"


    The blue flames on Red''s claws surged instantly, and the flying rock scales shattered like fragile glass upon contact.


    As the fragments scattered, Red transformed into a streak of blue light, passing by the rock snake''s head, then gently landing on the ground. With a wave of its Cat claws, the extended claws retracted with a swish.


    Staring blankly at Red, the rock snake opened its mouth, and its gray white snake head fell to the ground with a thud. Its body also shattered segment by segment, scattering on the floor.


    Mon Star''s face turned deathly pale in an instant.


    With a light push of his foot, Blaze Regret jumped to the ground. He then took out a Spirit Gathering Fruit from his spatial stone and tossed it to Yun Suhaila, smiling, "Refine this fruit, and the Soft Bone Powder in your body will be completely expelled."


    After looking at Blaze Regret for a moment, Yun Suhaila nodded with difficulty, her eyes lowering slightly. Was this guy here specifically to rescue her? But it didn''t seem like it.


    While Yun Suhaila was lost in thought, Blaze Regret pulled over a chair, sat down lazily, and leaned back with a slight smile. "Young Captain Mon, let''s talk."


    "What do you want me to say!" Mon Star glared at Blaze Regret, but his voice carried an unmistakable note of fear.


    "Hmm, about a certain tomb in the Hildan Mountains," Blaze Regret said softly.


    "What tomb? I don''t know anything about it!" Mon Star''s eyes flickered slightly. This guy had always been in the northern part of the mountains, at least dozens of miles away from him. How did he know about this?


    "Whoosh!"


    Without any hesitation, Blaze Regret waved his hand, and a small ice breaking blade instantly embedded itself in Mon Star''s left leg. As the icy aura spread, the surrounding flesh froze entirely, followed by a cracking sound.


    Staring dumbfounded at the blood ice flowing from his foot, Mon Star finally screamed after a moment. But seeing another flying blade appear in Blaze Regret''s hand, his scream was abruptly stifled.


    "That last flying blade was aimed at your leg. Want to guess where this one will go?" Blaze Regret asked with a grin.


    "Devil!" Mon Star''s lips trembled. This guy was far more ruthless than many bloodthirsty spirit hunters!


    "You have three breaths'' time." Blaze Regret''s ice blade spun in his hand, his voice cold.


    Mon Star''s legs shook, his face full of struggle.


    Three breaths passed. Blaze Regret squinted his eyes and was about to wave his hand when the last defense in Mon Star''s heart finally collapsed completely.


    "The Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb! It''s the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb!" Mon Star cried out loudly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was secretly delighted. This trip had indeed not been in vain.


    After refining the Spirit Gathering Fruit, most of the Soft Bone Powder in her body was expelled. Yun Suhaila slowly sat up on the edge of the bed. Although she still felt a sense of weakness, it was clearly much better than before.


    Seeing the slight flush of color return to Yun Suhaila''s face, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn''t sure if the Spirit Gathering Fruit would work, but it seemed his worries were unfounded.


    "What to do next, I don''t need to teach you, right?" Blaze Regret turned his head, coldly gazing at Mon Star, while a chill slowly spread from his casually open palm.


    "Four days ago, in a low valley in the southern part of the mountain range, a passing spirit hunter discovered a hidden tomb chamber. Just as he touched the tomb door, a flame suddenly erupted, burning off half of his arm. Upon learning of this, several experts went there one after another.


    They finally concluded that in half a month, the restrictions on the tomb chamber would weaken, making it much easier to enter," Mon Star quickly explained, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.


    "Is the owner of that Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb a spirit king expert known as the Blazing Fire Spirit King?" After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret suddenly asked.


    "How do you know?" Mon Star was startled, but then quickly realized that anyone from the Sun Moon Empire could probably guess the tomb owner''s identity from the name of the tomb.


    The Blazing Fire Spirit King, like the Ice Lotus Master, was a renowned expert in the Sun Moon Empire. Although he was only a Spirit king, he once fought a Spirit Sovereigns to a standstill, which gave him a reputation that even slightly overshadowed that of the Ice Lotus Master.


    "A mere Spirit king dares to have such an arrogant title," Blaze Regret muttered under his breath.


    If a Spirit king could dominate a nation, then a Spirit Sovereigns could command respect across a nation. Spirit kings only existed in large empires, and there had never been any legends of Spirit kings in the entire Sun Moon Empire.


    "I''ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?" Mon Star raised his head, looking at Blaze Regret in fear, but his hand behind his back had already formed into a rock blade, its edges glinting sharply.

 Chapter 191 - 191 Saving Yun Suhaila Final (Bonus)

    "I never planned to let you go in the first place, and now that you seek death, why should I spare your life?"


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly, and the Red beside him shot out abruptly. Its sharp claws swept across Mon Star''s throat.


    "You..." Mon Star''s bulging eyes stared fiercely at Blaze Regret as uncontrollable blood flowed from his throat. His body swayed, and with a thud, he collapsed onto the ground, life slowly fading away.


    "What should we do now?" Yun Suhaila walked over slowly, looking helplessly at Blaze Regret.


    "I''ll get you out of here," Blaze Regret said softly, glancing into the distance.


    "But Mon Dark and Mo Den..." Yun Suhaila hesitated.


    "Leave them to me. However, no matter what you see next, you must keep it to yourself. Do not say a word, understand?" Blaze Regret looked at Yun Suhaila, his voice heavy.


    "Mm." Yun Suhaila nodded repeatedly.


    Before the room.


    Two maid servants leaned against a stone pillar, saliva spraying from their mouths as they chatted enthusiastically. Occasionally, they glanced back at the brightly lit room before returning to their spirited conversation.


    "I just contacted Black Wolf with the Sound Transmission Shell. He said he could offer this much for that little girl from the Blue Blade Spirit Hunter Group." One maid servant raised her hand excitedly, a trace of pride in her voice.


    "So much? That''s worth more than five people before!" The other maid servant''s eyes widened in shock, but her face showed delight. The higher the selling price, the more benefits she would receive.


    "It''s because that girl is pretty." The maid servant pursed her lips in jealousy, her voice sharp. "But what good is beauty? Her fate will be miserable in the end."


    "Exactly. Heh heh, by now, the young leader should have already taken action."


    "Cre-eak~"


    The wooden door suddenly opened, and the two maid servants immediately fell silent, reflexively putting on ingratiating smiles. But in the next moment, their eyes filled with intense fear as a gleaming ice blade sliced through the air, ruthlessly shattering their hearts.


    "Let''s go!"


    Blaze Regret suddenly leaped up, his raised toe lightly tapping on the returning ice blade.


    Immediately after, Yun Suhaila''s eyes widened as she witnessed a scene she would never forget.


    Brilliant golden light shimmered behind Blaze Regret. In an instant, a pair of magnificent golden wings slowly spread out, vibrating with a faint sound of breaking wind, soaring straight into the sky.


    "Don''t ask anything." sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lying in Blaze Regret''s arms, suspended high in the air, Yun Suhaila''s red lips parted slightly as she was about to say something. However, the cold voice in her ear made her suppress that thought.


    Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered slightly as Yun Suhaila gazed at the contours of the young man''s face. Her rosy lips pressed together gently.


    It seemed she had never truly understood him...


    Thinking of this, Yun Suhaila smiled self deprecatingly. Back at the inn outside the Hildan Mountain Range, she probably never imagined that one day, her life would be saved by this seemingly frivolous young man from a noble family.


    The golden wings sliced through the sky like a comet. What normally took several days to traverse through the forest was crossed in just half an hour. At the forest''s edge, Blaze Regret''s wings folded behind him as he gently landed and carefully set Yun Suhaila down.


    "Are you leaving?" Yun Suhaila looked at Blaze Regret with a complex expression and spoke softly.


    "Outside the Hildan Mountain Range is not the territory of the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group. If they dare to extend their hands, someone will naturally teach them a lesson. Here, you and Uncle Yun Anuar can rest assured." Blaze Regret nodded slightly.


    During his conversation with Muk Karthik, he had already learned that Yun Anuar and the others had arrived here. Whether Yun Suhaila could find them would depend on fate; he couldn''t help much more.


    "This spirit beast puppet is of the ninth rank..."


    Blaze Regret thought for a moment and lightly stroked the void Realm Stone. The previously damaged Gale Mantis, from his battle with the Ghost Snake Elder, appeared intact on the ground. Seeing its flawless body, Blaze Regret''s words suddenly choked back, his expression turning peculiar.


    "A imperial grade spirit beast puppet?" Yun Suhaila''s eyes widened slightly. By the time she came to her senses, Blaze Regret''s figure had already turned into a streak of golden light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.


    As she stroked the body of the Gale Mantis, a sudden wave of sadness washed over Yun Suhaila. From now on, it might be difficult to meet him again.


    "Did you repair the Gale Mantis?" Blaze Regret patted the Void Realm Stone and asked with curiosity.


    "Heh, if I hadn''t done that, you wouldn''t have been at ease," Master Magi appeared, curling his lips with a hint of teasing.


    "Can you give me these golden wings someday?" Blaze Regret gazed at the magnificent golden wings behind him, almost drooling at the sight.


    "What are you thinking? These are merely condensed from spiritual power. If you want them, you''d better hurry up and improve your strength. Once you reach the Spirit Sovereigns level and learn flying spirit techniques, you can create any wings you like," Master Magi chuckled and scolded.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret could only shake his head in disappointment.


    "Since the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb opens in half a month, I''ll spend some time training here for now."


    Scanning the dark mountain range, Blaze Regret''s lips curled up slightly. With a gentle flap of his wings, he swiftly descended.


    As daylight was fading, Blaze Regret didn''t intend to train his Spirit beasts. Instead, he went straight to his cave that he found to take rest, eager to pull out the intermediate spirit beast food recipe and commit its contents to memory.

 Chapter 192 - 192 Intermediate Spirit Beast Food

    Being a Spirit master focusing on spiritual power, even though he was still at the Seventh tier warrior grade, his memory far exceeded that of ordinary people. Besides, the recipe was only a few pages long, and even though the formulas were quite complex, they posed no challenge to Blaze Regret.


    First, he memorized the recipe''s content, focusing particularly on the placement process, proportions, and timing.


    Second, the moisture content of materials would affect the texture of the food and, to some extent, the success rate of production. To avoid this, the materials needed to be adjusted in advance.


    Finally, based on the type of materials, he ground them into powder, sliced them, or chopped them, storing each in different containers to be used as needed.


    With his strong memory, Blaze Regret quickly memorized the recipe''s content.


    As the saying goes, practice is the only standard for testing truth.


    After ensuring everything was in place, Blaze Regret began by processing the materials, setting up the tools, and eagerly starting the production.


    Compared to low level spirit beast food, the process for making intermediate spirit food is more complex. It''s not just about the increase in materials and tools; the method of preparation is also harder to master.


    For Blaze Regret, making intermediate spirit food for the first time, even though he had memorized the recipe smoothly, it still felt quite chaotic.


    Not long after, Blaze Regret completed the preparation, resulting in a granular food.


    Unfortunately, due to his unfamiliar technique, the food''s shape, color, and description differed from the recipe, and the smell was rather unpleasant, having a somewhat burnt aroma.


    "Red, you''ve worked hard during this time! Here, this is the food I specially prepared for you, guaranteed to surprise you!"


    Blaze Regret maintained a calm demeanor as he placed the prepared food in the bowl and pushed it towards Red.


    Red looked at Blaze Regret curiously. As Blaze Regret''s life bound Spirit beast, it had established a very strong mental connection with him and could sense his emotions.


    This time, Red sensed a hint of malice!


    Without hesitation, Red shook its head and decisively refused!


    "Tsk, so uncooperative!" Blaze Regret shrugged, but he didn''t give up. He opened the Spirit realms stone and released the Drill Rat, repeating the process.


    Unlike Red, the Drill Rat, under a temporary contract, couldn''t sense Blaze Regret''s "malice." Moreover, being naturally gluttonous, it eagerly buried its head in the food bowl.


    The next moment, the Drill Rat suddenly froze in its tracks. Its excitement vanished as it lifted its head with a look of disdain, spitting out all the food it had in its mouth.


    The Drill Rat pitifully looked at Blaze Regret, with an expression that seemed to say, "I''ve been wronged, you owe me compensation."


    Without a doubt, this was a dish of "dark cuisine."


    "Failed to concoct! Is it the moisture content? Or is there a discrepancy in the material proportions? Or perhaps the placement timing wasn''t right?" Blaze Regret pondered, ignoring the Drill Rat''s expression, as he rested his chin on his right hand.


    Mastering a food recipe undoubtedly requires a gradual process. The demand for talent in this area isn''t very high; it''s mostly about gaining proficiency.


    That night, Blaze Regret tried making a few more batches, but unfortunately, they all ended in failure. He only became slightly more skilled, and there was still a way to go before truly mastering it.


    Half a month passed by in a flash.


    In the early morning, within the mist covered mountains, Blaze Regret''s figure quickly shuttled through, then disappeared into the thick fog.


    "The pressure of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is getting weaker and weaker. Today, we should be able to enter, right?"


    Hearing the faint sounds in his ears, Blaze Regret''s footsteps gradually came to a stop. In the distance, a flickering red light shone through the fog.


    Along the way, Blaze Regret saw many tents set up by those who had arrived earlier. The mystery of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb had attracted countless elites from Hildan Town, all considering themselves qualified to be here.


    Glancing at the people continuously emerging from the tents, Blaze Regret sighed lightly in his heart. The weakest among them was a sixth tier spirit warrior master, and there were quite a few eighth tier spirit warrior masters as well. It was clear that the competition this time would be incredibly fierce.


    "Charles taylor is here!"


    The sudden shout caused the noisy crowd to stop their activities. A young man in a black robe walked indifferently through the crowd, a thick aura of killing intent swirling around him.


    "A dark attribute spirit master." Blaze Regret, mingling in the crowd, glanced at Charles taylor passing by, his eyes flickering.


    "The Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is here too!"


    Amidst the commotion, a group of figures passed through the crowd, finally standing on the highest rock, overlooking the area below. At the forefront was a stern faced middle aged man, with Mon Den standing silently beside him.

    In the entire Hildan Town, apart from Mon Dark, there was no one else who could have Mon Den standing by their side.


    "A third tier spirit Imperial master."


    A trace of solemnity flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The strength of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group far surpassed that of other hunting groups. Deservedly the overlord of Hildan Town, besides Mon Den, a first tier spirit Imperial master, they even had Mo Dark, a third tier spirit Imperial master.


    "They''re here. We probably won''t get anything good now," someone lamented.


    "Don''t worry. The Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is so vast. Even if we can''t get the meat, we can still have some soup," another person said optimistically. After all, opportunities are a matter of luck, and with Charles taylor and Mon Dark counter balancing each other, they might still have a chance to fish in troubled waters from behind.


    Others nodded, gaining some confidence from this.

 Chapter 193 - 193 Kartis Miller

    "Whoosh!"


    Suddenly, a low whistling sound echoed through the air. A young man in white, riding a Thunder Eagle, appeared in everyone''s sight. With a swift movement, he leaped off the Thunder Eagle and landed steadily on the ground.


    "A member of the Kartis family!" Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly. From the emblem on the young man''s chest, he could tell that this person was from the Kartis family at the center of the empire!


    The presence of the white clad youth created a slightly oppressive atmosphere, as these spirit hunters couldn''t gauge the identity of this sudden arrival.


    Even more terrifying was that this person was also a powerful spirit Imperial master, with an aura just slightly weaker than Mon Dark''s!


    "Kartis Miller, I didn''t expect you to join in the fun," Charles taylor said softly, looking at the youth.


    "Hehe, in this godforsaken place, it''s a surprise to meet an acquaintance. Charles taylor, our last battle ended without a clear winner. Today, I can''t miss this opportunity," Kartis Miller said with a faint smile, glancing at Charles taylor.


    "Naturally. But for now, the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is more important," Charles taylor nodded and closed his eyes, unwilling to say more.


    "A tomb of a spirit lord is indeed worth a trip for me," Kartis Miller said, casting a disdainful glance at Mon Dark and the others, as if the treasures in the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb already belonged to him.


    At this moment, the thick fog had turned into a thin mist, and the scene before the crowd gradually became clear. In the valley below, the tomb entrance radiating with blazing red spiritual energy naturally became the focal point of many gazes.


    "What a beautiful person!"


    As Blaze Regret was observing the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, the surrounding breaths suddenly halted. Blaze Regret looked up in confusion and saw a graceful figure standing quietly on a protruding rock. Her snow white skin and cold, delicate face made the entire world seem dim in comparison.


    "Is it her?" Blaze Regret was slightly startled and pursed his lips. He was, of course, familiar with the person who had chased him twice.


    "Amelia!"


    Upon seeing her, the previously nonchalant Kartis Miller''s eyes instantly lit up with excitement. He hurriedly stepped towards the young girl.


    "Kartis Miller?" The blackclad girl glanced at him coldly before withdrawing her gaze indifferently. Her melodious voice was rather detached.


    "I just beat Kartis Thomas a while ago. Do you want to try as well?"


    The excitement on Kartis Miller''s face instantly froze. His foot stopped awkwardly mid air, and then he forced a smile, taking several steps back with an unnatural expression.


    "Amelia, huh?" Blaze Regret covered his face with his black robe, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Amelia was indeed a very pleasant name.


    Charles taylor, with his hands behind his back, turned his head upon hearing the commotion. When he saw Amelia''s cold and delicate face, he slowly lowered his hand, a flicker of apprehension flashing deep in his eyes.


    Having just returned from the center of the empire, he knew the girl''s identity very well. Under normal circumstances, even seeing her once would be a luxury. He never expected to see her so closely in this remote Hildan Town.


    At that moment, the temperature in the valley suddenly grew scorching. The flickering light from the tomb entrance quickened dramatically.


    "Whoosh!"


    A tangible wave of fire surged from the tomb entrance, vaguely forming an invisible barrier around the spirit tomb.


    "The final defense has finally appeared. I wonder if that item is truly buried inside," Amelia sighed softly.


    "A barrier? Heh, leave it to me!"


    A haughty laugh echoed through the air, and soon a purple streak swept across the space, striking the barrier hard. Instantly, the barrier rippled rapidly, dissolving the energy of the purple streak into nothingness.


    "Roberth Brown? The spirit beast beside him must be the Purple Epiphytic Vine!"


    Next to Roberth Brown, a patch of purple plants clung tightly to a rock. The purple streak just now was emitted by it.


    "The attack power of a warrior grade spirit beast is too weak; it still needs a Imperial tier spirit beast to break it!"


    As if wanting to show off in front of Amelia, Kartis Miller let out a hearty laugh. The Thunderstorm Eagle beside him flapped its wings and flew out, bright lightning bolts continuously striking down on the barrier.


    With such a dense concentration of lightning strikes, the fiery color of the barrier instantly faded and eventually shattered completely.


    Even though this was the spirit tomb of a Lord master, after so many years of consumption, the spiritual power of the formation outside the tomb had already dissipated significantly. Otherwise, it wouldn''t have appeared in everyone''s sight without even the energy to conceal the tomb entrance.


    "It''s about to break!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.


    Just as the barrier in front of the tomb door dissipated, Blaze Regret''s Void Realm Stone suddenly began to flicker crazily. The dazzling golden light overshadowed even the lightning from the Thunderstorm Eagle.


    "Blaze Regret!"


    Looking at Blaze Regret, who was hurriedly pressing down on the Void Realm Stone, Mon Den''s gloomy voice slowly resounded in the scene. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As Mon Den''s voice echoed, the previously noisy venue became unusually silent. All eyes, filled with astonishment, fell on Blaze Regret.


    "Is this the guy who dismantled the Hildan Arena of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group a few months ago?"


    "I heard that Mon Black was killed by him. I wonder if that''s really true."


    "He looks quite ordinary, not as formidable as the rumors say."


    Whispers erupted above the valley. The previously attention grabbing Kartis Miller was now completely ignored. Even the usually indifferent Amelia glanced back, her pretty face becoming extremely unnatural.


    "Captain Mon Den, what brings you here?"


    Seeing the disturbance in the void realms stone finally subside, Blaze Regret let out a sigh of relief. He then raised his face and smiled as if chatting with an old friend.

 Chapter 194 - 194 Qualification

    Seeing this, Mon Den''s face twitched slightly, anger welling up in his eyes. At this point, you''re still pretending to be calm! S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Kid, I''ll ask you once: how did you kill Mon Black?" Mon Den stared at Blaze Regret angrily.


    As Mon Black''s older brother, Mon Den knew just how terrifying the Colossal Statue was. Even his Ice Silkworm would be ruthlessly crushed by it at the same level. So when he heard the news, he felt more shock than sorrow.


    "Do you have any evidence?" Blaze Regret spread his hands innocently, sighing inwardly. Who knows how many people Mon Black had contacted with his sound transmission shell? Such things can''t be hidden.


    "Do I need evidence to kill you?" Mon Den sneered coldly. The white Ice Silkworm, covered in crystalline snowflakes, wriggled out from the summoning array. In an instant, the temperature in the area began to drop.


    "Captain Mon Den, are you attacking other spirit masters so recklessly, disregarding everyone here? You can kill me now, but once we enter the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, are you going to kill even more people until only the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group remains?" Blaze Regret''s voice turned cold, directly confronting Mon Den.


    Upon hearing this, many spirit hunters'' expressions changed slightly. Their greatest fear was those few spirit masters, so some had already begun forming alliances in secret. If the elites present joined forces, even Mon Den, a third tier spirit Imperial master, would face considerable pressure.


    David Chen and Kartis Miller, standing nearby, cast hostile glances at the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. As competitors, they wouldn''t mind eliminating a future rival if the opportunity arose.


    Amelia continued to gaze at the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, her beautiful eyes flickering slightly, lost in thought.


    "Stop!"


    Just as Mon Den, irritated by the changing atmosphere, was about to act, Mon Dark''s voice rang out. He glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently and said, "We''ll settle the score with Mon Black later. But the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb is a treasure of Hildan Town. Why is an outsider like you here? Please leave."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret squinted his eyes and sneered, "Captain Mon, since when do you decide for Hildan Town? Besides, there are others here who aren''t from Hildan Town either."


    Mon Dark snorted coldly, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "They stand here because they have the qualification. Do you?"


    Gently rubbing his face, Blaze Regret''s voice remained calm as he slowly replied, "Then please tell me, Captain Mon, what exactly is the qualification you''re talking about?"


    Mon Dark snorted again. This guy was truly clueless. Under normal circumstances, he would have slapped him to death long ago, without bothering with so much nonsense.


    "Captain Mon, since he''s so arrogant, why don''t I teach him a lesson?"


    A spirit hunter suddenly stepped out of the crowd and cupped his hands toward Mon Dark in a flattering manner. "I''m Smith Zent, an independent spirit hunter from outside. I''ve heard that the position of the third captain in your group is currently..."


    Before Smith Zent could finish, Mon Dark waved his hand dismissively and said, "Pull out all of this kid''s teeth. From now on, the position of the third captain of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group is yours."


    With Mon Dark''s assurance, Smith Zent''s face lit up with joy. He had once been the leader of a spirit hunting group but had fallen on hard times after committing some offense, leading to his exile. Seeing such a golden opportunity, he was naturally unwilling to let it slip by.


    "Kid, you''re unlucky to have run into me today."


    Smith Zent turned his head and gave Blaze Regret a sinister smile. Beside him, a figure as massive as a small mountain leaped out from the spirit formation and landed on the ground with a thud. The stones on the ground trembled slightly under the immense force.


    "A ninth tier mid level warrior grade Strength Bear?"


    Seeing this spirit beast, many spirit masters around them gasped. Such strength was considered top tier even in Hildan Town, and now it was being used against a seemingly frail young man.


    "I thought you''d be impressive, but it turns out you''re not even as good as Mo Black." Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a mocking smile. His words indirectly confirmed that he had killed Mo Black, though everyone had already suspected it, so no one appeared particularly surprised.


    "Arrogant!" Smith Zent scolded coldly. For someone about to die to speak to him this way was beyond insolent.


    The warrior grade Strength Bear roared fiercely and charged forward. Its clenched fist suddenly opened, releasing a wave of grayish white spiritual power that slammed toward the Reds in front of Blaze Regret.


    Powerful Stone Palm!


    Seeing the bear''s palm strike, which resembled a rock, Red snorted lightly and casually raised its claws as if it hadn''t eaten enough.


    "You''re dead!" Smith Zent''s eyes lit up. Could it be that this spirit beast was so frightened by his warrior grade Strength Bear that it had frozen in place? It must be seeking death!


    "Bang!"


    A slight collision sound echoed, and a ripple of dust spread out with Red and the warrior grade Strength Bear at its center. However, the scene everyone expected Red being crushed to death on the spot did not occur.


    The disproportionate paws pressed against each other. Red looked at the massive warrior grade Strength Bear, its mouth curling slightly. Then, in a flash, it moved with terrifying speed, swinging its sharp claws toward the bear''s head.


    The bear''s expression changed dramatically, and it quickly raised its paw to shield its head. However, the sharp claws pierced through its paw and, with a trace of blood, embedded themselves in its skull.


    With a swift pull, Red withdrew its sharp claws and pushed off the ground with its paw, landing gracefully back on the earth.


    "Clang!"


    The Warrior Grade Strength Bear, eyes wide with disbelief, was sent reeling backward by Red''s powerful kick. Its massive body crashed into the ground, creating a deep indentation.

 Chapter 195 - 195 Spirit Restoration Pills

    Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile as he looked at Mon Dark and asked, "Captain Mon, may I ask, do I have the qualifications now?"


    The roar of the Warrior Grade Strength Bear echoed in their ears. Everyone looked at the blood flowing on the ground with a sense of bewilderment. A mid level ninth rank warrior grade spirit beast had been killed just like that?


    David Chen and Kartis Miller were relatively calm, their expressions returning to normal after a brief shock. However, Roberth Brown, standing at the front of the crowd, had a hidden cold glint flash in his eyes.


    Facing Mon Dark''s cold gaze, Blaze Regret sneered inwardly. If it had been a high level warrior Warrior Grade Strength Bear, it might have been able to grapple with Red for a while. But the difference in ranks brought Smith Zent''s Warrior Grade Strength Bear to the same level as Red.


    When Red was at the seventh rank, it could already take down a ninth rank giant colossus, let alone now, having broken through to the eighth rank.


    "The tomb door of the Blazing Spirit Tomb is broken!"


    Just as Mon Dark was about to speak, a cry of surprise suddenly erupted from the crowd. Immediately, many strong figures at the scene rushed down the valley, madly speeding towards the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb.


    With treasures to be had, who would care about the conflict between Blaze Regret and the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group?


    "Hope you come out alive," Mon Dark said coldly, casting a glance before moving with the members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group towards the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb.


    Seeing Mon Dark leave, Blaze Regret slowly unclenched his tightly gripped fist. Fortunately, Mon Dark did not suspect him for Mon Star''s death. Otherwise, even with all his reservations, Mon Dark would have certainly acted out of anger.


    But who could have imagined that someone who could boldly infiltrate the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, kill Mon Star, and remain undetected by two spirit Imperial master experts, would be just a small spirit warrior master?


    Watching Amelia, dressed in black and wrapped in a cyan water shield, drift into the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, Blaze Regret also moved, rushing in with the crowd.


    At the mountain top, only Smith Zent remained, kneeling on the ground, his face ashen.


    Upon entering the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, countless complex passages appeared before Blaze Regret. After a moment''s hesitation, he chose the one with the fewest people and walked quickly towards it.


    "Plop!"


    Throwing a pebble into the passage, Blaze Regret smiled faintly upon seeing no traps activate and was about to step in.


    "You''re quite cautious," the voice of Master Magi sounded in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "Ah!"


    Screams suddenly echoed from several passages. One spirit hunter was even directly pierced through the chest by a thick steel arrow, spanning dozens of meters and pinning him harshly to the ground.


    "It''s never a bad idea to be more cautious," Blaze Regret shrugged slightly, glancing at the corpse behind him.


    "There are so many secret chambers..."


    Walking through the narrow passage, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but marvel at the numerous dark chambers. How bored must the Blazing Spirit King have been to create so many secret rooms?


    Coming to a secret chamber without a door, Blaze Regret extended his hand slightly forward, only to be stopped by an invisible barrier that blocked him from entering.


    "A restriction?" Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow.


    Red leaped down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder, its claws enveloped in a faint blue flame. After a few swipes, the restriction shattered like glass, dissipating into spiritual energy.


    Releasing Night Feather Fireflies, Blaze Regret stepped into the secret chamber. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn''t help but laugh bitterly. The large secret room contained only a single gold coin!


    Feeling unlucky, Blaze Regret walked out and tried a few more times, finally discovering a pattern.


    The easier the restriction was to break, the more ordinary the items inside the secret chamber. Conversely, the harder the restriction, the more precious the items tended to be.


    With this realization, Blaze Regret nodded at Red. Red swiped its claws, sending out fire spikes ring that ricocheted off each secret chamber''s entrance, eventually disappearing into the distance.


    Under this attack, the restrictions of most secret chambers shattered with a crack. Red chirped lightly and continued to conjure several more fire spikes ring. The sound of breaking restrictions continuously echoed through the passage.


    "The last secret chamber!"


    Blaze Regret''s face lit up as he looked at the secret chamber where the fire spikes ring had bounced off. He hurriedly walked over, and Red blinked, following closely. Spiritual energy surged into its claws, and with one swipe,


    "Crack!"


    Cracks quickly spread across the doorway of the secret chamber, finally giving way as it shattered into countless fragments of energy that scattered everywhere.


    "So many elixirs!"


    As Blaze Regret stepped into the secret chamber, his gaze swept across the room, and his heart skipped a beat. He was greeted by a mountain of elixirs, filling most of the space. The rich aroma of the medicinal herbs made Blaze Regret''s head spin.


    "Spirit Restoration Pills?" Blaze Regret picked up an elixir and sniffed it, a trace of delight flashing in his eyes.


    The Spirit Restoration Pill, like the Qi Restoration Pill, could restore spiritual energy. However, the former could be consumed by spirit masters to directly replenish the spiritual energy within their spiritual portals, making it far more convenient and of higher grade than the latter.

    Without a second thought, Blaze Regret opened the void realms Stone and stored all the Spirit Restoration Pills inside. Unfortunately, the secret chamber only contained elixirs and not the recipe for making them. Otherwise, Blaze Regret could have made them himself once he advanced to a fourth grade alchemist.


    Shaking his head to dispel his disappointment, Blaze Regret chuckled self deprecatingly. "Greedy enough to swallow an elephant," he thought. Obtaining so many elixirs was already a huge windfall. Anyone else would be overjoyed, yet here he was, still complaining.

 Chapter 196 - 196 Spirit Power Room

    "Damn it, the last secret chamber can''t be opened at all. What a waste of time!"


    A grumbling voice suddenly echoed down the passage. Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. Could it be that the most valuable item in this passage wasn''t the elixirs but something else entirely?


    Striding out of the secret chamber, Blaze Regret saw several figures quickly passing by. Each person wore an expression of deep regret. Nothing was more disappointing than having treasure within reach but being unable to obtain it.


    "Hmm? This Blazing Spirit King is quite interesting, making even such things," Master Magi''s hidden voice chuckled, concealed in the air.


    "You know what that is?" Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows in surprise.


    "Of course, but you''ll have to see for yourself what it is," Master Magi replied with a shake of his head, offering no further explanation.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret could only give up asking further questions.


    "Splat!"


    The heavy footsteps came to a halt as Blaze Regret stood before the final secret chamber door. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with a sudden wave of his hand, a chilling ice blade flew out, striking the barrier forcefully.


    To Blaze Regret''s astonishment, the ice blade shattered upon impact with the barrier, disintegrating completely without leaving even a trace of ice shards.


    With a light snort, he crossed his Fire claws, summoning two fire spikes rings that merged into one and shot straight out. The barrier of the secret chamber weakened slightly.


    "It worked!"


    A gleam of joy flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He immediately retrieved a Spirit Restoration Pill from the Void realms Stone and swallowed it. Red continued to manifes Fire spikes rings, relentlessly attacking the barrier. Finally, under the relentless storm of fiery assaults, the barrier shattered with a crisp crack.


    Upon seeing the restriction break, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with delight as he stepped into the secret chamber. However, the scene inside made his brows furrow there was absolutely nothing inside, not even a single hair.


    "Could it be an illusion?"


    Considering this possibility, Blaze Regret took out a few gold coins and tossed them into various corners. The clear sound of them hitting the ground made his heart sink.


    "Don''t you know? This secret chamber is actually a spirit power room, which is worth much more than the secret chamber you just entered," Master Magi said with a faint smile.


    "A spirit power room?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi in surprise.


    "A spirit power room is a type of auxiliary cultivation method. Those inside can receive spiritual energy that is hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more concentrated than the outside world, with negligible side effects. It is extremely common in some major families or powerful organizations," Master Magi explained.


    "That''s terrifying!" Blaze Regret was shocked, then felt a bit uneasy. If the Kartis family had one, wouldn''t he be unable to keep up with Kartis Van''s pace no matter how hard he trained?


    "I mentioned major families." As if knowing what Blaze Regret was thinking, Master Magi sneered. The Kartis family might be dominant in the Sun Moon Empire, but in the eyes of the true strong, they were nothing more than a slightly larger ant.


    Hearing this, the stone in Blaze Regret''s heart slowly lifted, and he shook his head with a wry smile. Even a terrifying existence like the Kartis family was nothing in Master Magi''s eyes. He couldn''t imagine what the world outside was like.


    "Let me find the activation spot for this spirit power room." Master Magi''s gaze shifted, and his figure slowly floated over, stopping in front of a wall. He gently knocked on the wall, and the stone bricks immediately retracted.


    "How cunning," Master Magi shook his head with a smile, then turned around and extended his palm toward .


    "What?" Blaze Regret looked at Master Magi in confusion, completely bewildered.


    "Did you think the spirit power room was free to use? Take out all your spirit cores, and I''ll show you how to use them," Master Magi said, gesturing with his hand in exasperation.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret quickly nodded and took out all the spirit cores from his void realms stone. There were at least a hundred of them, all obtained from his training in the mountains over the past period.


    "Not enough. Take out your Qi Replenishing Pills as well," Master Magi continued.


    Blaze Regret''s lips twitched as he reluctantly placed all his Qi Replenishing Pills on the ground. If sold outside, these pills would fetch at least four to five hundred thousand gold coins. However, he understood the principle of "you can''t catch the wolf without sacrificing the child," so he could only let Master Magi have his way.


    "Don''t feel bad. The spirit power room can only be activated by spirit jade. On average, it takes ten thousand Imperial level spirit cores to refine a single small spirit jade. Using pills to refine it is a last resort, but a small spirit jade powered spirit power room is enough to raise both your Red and Ice Control Irenix by one level," Master Magi said with a smile.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret felt a bit better. As long as it could increase his strength, he was willing to pay the price.


    With a grasp of his hand, Master Magi caused all the Qi Replenishing Pills and spirit cores on the ground to shatter, transforming into a stream of spiritual power that flowed into his palm. As the spiritual power continued to condense, a flat, pure white object began to take shape.


    "This is the spirit jade. The rest is up to you."


    After refining a small spirit jade, Master Magi''s voice sounded slightly weak. He gently waved his hand, tossing the spirit jade to Blaze Regret before retreating back into the void realms stone.

    "Don''t worry. I''ll get that page of yours even if it costs my life," Blaze Regret said, his voice tinged with gratitude as he held the spirit jade.

 Chapter 197 - 197 Killing Intent

    *Sorry for late update. I work today.


    At the moment when the void realms stone burst into golden light on the mountaintop, he had already realized that Master Magi must have sensed something in the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, causing such a reaction.


    Walking to the recessed part of the wall, Blaze Regret carefully inserted the spirit jade. Instantly, tangible spiritual energy began to seep out from every corner of the secret chamber, and the broken restriction started to repair itself bit by bit.


    As the spiritual energy grew denser, Blaze Regret sat down joyfully amidst the white mist. The Ice Control Irenix emerged from his second spirit portal, joining the Red in absorbing the precious, dense spiritual energy.


    As Blaze Regret gradually entered a meditative state, threads of spiritual power suddenly shot out from his spirit portal, connecting with the Red and Ice Control Irenix. These threads intertwined around the crystal nucleus of the spirit portal, linking the three together in a fascinating scene.


    The man and the two beasts slowly closed their eyes, feeling the rapid flow of spiritual power within them. The secret chamber became extraordinarily quiet, with only the subtle sound of breathing echoing softly.


    Time passed little by little.


    The auras of the Red and Ice Control Irenix gradually strengthened, and the spiritual power that Blaze Regret''s spirit portal could accommodate continuously expanded. In the faintest moments, Blaze Regret could even hear the pleasant sound of spiritual energy flowing between the three of them.


    It was hard to tell how much time had passed...


    "Bang!"


    A dull crash suddenly echoed through the secret chamber, causing the restriction to shake. Blaze Regret, who was inside, turned slightly pale, and the Red and Ice Control Irenix beside him spat out blood, their auras weakening.


    Blaze Regret''s eyelids snapped open, and his eyes filled with anger.


    Blaze Regret", I know you''re in there. Open the restriction immediately, or I''ll force my way in!"


    Outside the door, an arrogant voice slowly sounded, and the assault on the restriction did not cease. The continuous banging was particularly grating.


    Hearing this voice, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. This person must be Roberth Brown!


    "Heh, heh. If I hadn''t caught someone on the way, I wouldn''t have known there was a treasure in this secret chamber. Come out quickly and hand over the treasure, and maybe I''ll forgive your insolence," Roberth Brown''s smug voice echoed again.


    Looking at the bloodstains in front of the Red and Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret stood up with a dark expression and whispered, "Are you okay?"


    The Red and Ice Control Irenix nodded lightly, their eyes sharp as they looked towards the door.


    Fortunately, they had reached the final moment. If they had been disturbed before the breakthrough, they would have been seriously injured. Even now, their newly advanced ninth level auras were somewhat unstable, all thanks to Roberth Brown outside the chamber.


    "Clang!"


    The restriction trembled under the violent impact, on the verge of shattering at any moment.


    slowly walked to the recessed area and infused a wisp of spiritual power. The restriction immediately dissipated.


    "Haha, good that you know your place. Hand over whatever you found!"


    Roberth Brown swaggered in, extending his hand with a smug smile as he looked at .


    Looking at Roberth Brown''s smiling face, a sharp glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes, and he clenched his fist tightly.


    "What, not willing? It seems defeating Smith Zent has given you too much confidence."


    Roberth Brown chuckled lightly, then stamped his foot on the ground. A powerful pressure of spiritual energy enveloped Blaze Regret. "Since that''s the case, I''ll have to cripple you first and then slowly make you spit it out."


    A Spirit Imperial Master?


    Feeling the aura emanating from Roberth Brown, Blaze Regret''s face slightly tensed up. Compared to the past in Hildan Town, Roberth Brown''s momentum had undoubtedly increased significantly. It appeared that Roberth Brown had deliberately held back when he attacked the tomb gate on the high ground.


    "I originally wanted to save my strength for dealing with Charles taylor, but since you''re so inconsiderate, don''t blame me for being rude." Roberth Brown''s voice suddenly turned icy. The purple ground lichen at his feet suddenly exploded with spores, scattering a white powder throughout the dark room. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Purple Lichen Powder?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. Purple Lichen Powder, released from the spores of the purple ground lichen, would render both Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts powerless, leaving them at the mercy of their enemies.


    Seeing the incoming dust, the Ice Control Irenix moved swiftly, positioning itself in front of the Red. Its ice wings vibrated rapidly, causing a cold wind to surge forth, sweeping all the white powder out of the room. Each particle of powder was encased in light blue ice crystals, looking quite magnificent.


    "A dual source Spirit Master? Heh, heh, I''ve already investigated your background thoroughly. Your struggle is merely delaying your inevitable death." Roberth Brown sneered disdainfully.


    The purple ground lichen shuddered, and a vast amount of purple powder rose up, quickly condensing above it. Within a few breaths, it transformed into a purple leaf.


    The leaf, about the size of a palm, glowed with a purple light, its edges glinting sharply.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as the purple leaf formed, it shot out violently. Red opened its claws, forming two fire spikes rings that merged together, then hurled them fiercely at the incoming leaf.


    "Crack!"


    At the moment of collision, the purple leaf and the fire spikes ring both froze in mid air. Cracks rapidly spread across them, and with a crisp sound, they shattered.


    Unfazed by the broken offensive, the Purple Lichen trembled, and its purple mycelium quickly climbed up the walls of the dark room. Within a few breaths, the walls were entirely covered, and as they wriggled, a faint purple hue was cast on Blaze Regret''s face, who stood in the middle of the room.


    The spreading mycelium gradually stopped, and small purple buds started appearing on its surface, pulsing gently like a heartbeat.

 Chapter 198 - 198 Guiyuan Spirit Vine

    "Today, I''ll show you the true power of a Imperial level spiritual technique," Roberth Brown said, his voice suddenly filled with murderous intent.


    "Purple Lichen, Thousand Thorn Array!"


    As soon as Roberth Brown finished speaking, the pulsing buds instantly bloomed, revealing sharp thorns within. In the next moment, they shot out like purple rays of light, filling the sky and creating a terrifying scene of thousands of thorns raining down.


    The sharp whistling of the wind filled the air as the Ice Control Irenix spread its wide ice wings, enveloping both Blaze Regret and the Red. A layer of ice covered its body, allowing the purple thorns to fall upon it.


    "Foolish," Roberth Brown sneered, thinking Blaze Regret was more formidable than he actually was. To let a ninth level Ice Control Irenix withstand the Purple Lichen''s strongest attack with its body was he tired of living?


    One by one, the purple glinting thorns pierced through the air, mercilessly striking the Ice Control Irenix. But instead of causing damage, they shattered into pieces with a series of crisp sounds, falling powerlessly to the ground.


    "How can it be so tough?"


    Seeing this, a look of incredulous horror spread across Roberth Brown''s face. He had expected the Thousand Thorn Array to pierce the Ice Control Irenix''s body full of holes. Yet now, it hadn''t even shown signs of injury. How could this be?


    "And you call that a Imperial level spiritual technique?"


    Blaze Regret sneered through the gap between the Ice Control Irenix''s wings. "Would you like to see mine?"


    The Red leapt out, its blue eyes glancing at the Purple Lichen on the surrounding walls. A flicker of flame began to rise within its eyes, and a wave of blue spiritual energy gradually spread out.


    "What kind of spiritual technique is this?" Roberth Brown''s face turned pale. This aura had far surpassed the level of a Imperial. Even the Purple Lichen''s Thousand Thorn Array paled in comparison.


    "Whoosh!"


    A beam of blue energy shot out from the Red''s eyes, directly hitting the Purple Lichen and sweeping across it. A charred mark instantly appeared on the wall, and the mycelium that had been attached there vanished completely.


    "Stop it!" Roberth Brown shouted angrily at Blaze Regret as he heard the Purple Lichen''s shrill screams.


    The sound fell on deaf ears as the Red''s actions did not halt. The blue energy beam circled the walls several times. Only when the shrill screams ceased entirely did it stop, its blue eyes returning to clarity.

    Blaze Regret, his expression cold, looked at the crazed Roberth Brown. He walked slowly toward him and grasped his neck firmly.


    "You and I have no grudge, yet you came to break down my door, almost killing my two spiritual beasts. This outcome is your own doing," Blaze Regret said coldly.


    "Cough, cough! What do your spiritual beasts have to do with me? If they die, they die. But you killed my Purple Lichen, and I won''t let you off!" Roberth Brown shouted crazily, his face contorted under Blaze Regret''s strong grip.


    "You won''t have that chance."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes turned cold as he repeatedly slammed Roberth Brown into the ground. The sound of impacts echoed, and cracks spread across the floor.


    "You like breaking down doors, huh? Try it again if you can!" Blaze Regret swung his hand forcefully, sending Roberth Brown crashing into the wall. Roberth Brown''s body slid down, his eyes wide open like a dead fish, barely breathing.


    Dusting off his hands, the violence on Blaze Regret''s face gradually faded. He let out a sigh of relief, then squatted down and fed two healing pills to the Red and the Ice Control Irenix.


    Gently rubbing their little heads, Blaze Regret waited until the medicine took full effect. Only then did he safely return the Ice Control Irenix to its spiritual portal. Placing the Red on his shoulder, he walked out of the dark room.


    At this moment, the various passageways were filled with countless silhouettes moving about. Many spirit hunters were fighting fiercely over treasures, while others, having obtained something valuable, wisely chose to leave.


    The aura of a ninth level spirit warrior grade master was revealed. Blaze Regret walked through the crowd with an indifferent expression. The surrounding spirit hunters immediately made way for him, showing considerable wariness.


    After all, in this entire tomb chamber, as long as no spirit Imperial master intervened, any ninth level spirit warrior grade master could rampage at will.


    "Blaze Regret, turn left at the third passage, then enter. There is an item in that secret chamber that will be useful for your future," said Master Magi''s voice in Blaze Regret''s mind as he wandered aimlessly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded lightly. He squeezed through the crowded passage, broke the seal in front of the secret chamber, and stepped inside.


    In the middle of the secret chamber stood a stone pillar about ten feet high. Suspended above the pillar was a ball of light, within which was a vine about the size of a thumb.


    "Guiyuan Spirit Vine?" Blaze Regret recognized the vine at a glance but was puzzled. According to the information passed down by the Medicine Emperor, this vine was utterly useless.


    However, since Master Magi had spoken, it was best to try to obtain it.


    Thinking this, Blaze Regret took a few steps forward. Suddenly, the stone pillar beneath the ball of light shattered into small stone balls. These stone balls clinked together, forming a giant stone ball in mid air. The stone ball''s fiery eyes looked down coldly at Blaze Regret, surrounded by clusters of flames.


    "Flaming Stone Ball?" Blaze Regret was slightly startled and took a few steps back quietly.


    Although the Flaming Stone Ball appeared to be made of rock, it was actually a pure fire attribute spiritual beast with an extremely hard body and was very difficult to deal with.


    Sorry for late update. I got work to do.

 Chapter 199 - 199 Water Poison

    The Flaming Stone Ball looked at Blaze Regret coldly. Its body trembled, and the flames surrounding it quickly condensed into floating fire beads. As the flames rose, the surrounding moisture quickly evaporated.


    "Whoosh!"


    Under the control of the Flaming Stone Ball, dozens of fire beads suddenly shot out, trailing fiery streaks directly toward Blaze Regret''s vital points.


    "So, it''s not even at the Imperial level."


    Sensing the true strength of the Flaming Stone Ball, Blaze Regret grinned. The Red on his shoulder didn''t even move; two energy beams shot out from his beautiful eyes, shattering all the incoming fire beads.


    "Boom!" sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After shattering the fire beads, the energy beams continued with undiminished force, heavily striking the Flaming Stone Ball''s body and slamming it into the wall. A spiderweb like crack appeared on the wall behind it.


    With a wave of his hand, the Guiyuan Spirit Vine fell into his palm. Without looking back, Blaze Regret walked out of the secret chamber. Although the Flaming Stone Ball wasn''t completely dead due to its hard body, he had no intention of delivering a finishing blow.


    Gazing at the bustling crowd, Blaze Regret squinted slightly. He didn''t believe that the treasure of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb was just what was in these passageways. The real treasures should be in the main tomb chamber.


    After bypassing several passageways and evading traps deadly enough to kill an ordinary ninth level spirit warrior grade master, a dimly lit secret passage appeared before Blaze Regret. Countless oil lamps lined the passage, still burning after countless years.


    "Click!"


    The crisp sound of footsteps echoed from behind. Blaze Regret''s heart tightened, and shards of ice imbued with bone chilling cold materialized in his hand, ready to guard against a sudden sneak attack.


    "It''s you?" Blaze Regret''s expression froze when he saw the black clad girl behind him. The ice shards in his hand dissipated unwittingly.


    The black clad girl walked past Blaze Regret without a glance, her glassy eyes showing no emotion. She entered the secret passage, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the air.


    Feeling a bit awkward, Blaze Regret touched his nose in frustration, while the Red on his shoulder mischievously tugged at his hair.


    "Hiss!"


    Just as Nor Amelia stepped in, small black snakes suddenly slithered out from the cracks in the wall, flicking their scarlet tongues and wriggling menacingly towards her.


    With an indifferent expression, Nor Amelia walked forward without slowing down. The black snakes, thinking they had found an opportunity, suddenly sprang up, their scarlet mouths wide open, hissing menacingly as the sound echoed through the passage.


    "Liquid Tornado!"


    A calm voice rang out as Water fairy beside Nor Amelia began to spin rapidly. A massive azure water tornado roared out with its rotation, sweeping in all directions. The black snakes that lunged at them were instantly shredded into bloody mist by the water tornado.


    "Fourth stage High level Imperial grade Spirit Water fairy." Blaze Regret''s throat felt dry. Though he couldn''t gauge Nor Amelia''s strength, seeing the Water fairy, he figured she must be at least a fourth stage spirit Imperial grade master.


    And that didn''t even account for the mysterious water type beast...


    "Cough, cough!"


    As Blaze Regret''s thoughts wandered, Nor Amelia suddenly stopped, covering her red lips with a jade like hand. A streak of crimson blood trickled down through her fingers.


    "Hiss!"


    At that moment, a barely alive black snake on the ground suddenly darted up, aiming to bite Nor Amelia''s snowy white neck.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes twitched sharply. With a wave of his hand, shards of ice flew out, pinning the black snake to the ground with a clang.


    Pulling a handkerchief from her bosom, Nor Amelia wiped the blood from her delicate hands without any expression, then continued walking forward, completely ignoring the innocent looking Blaze Regret behind her.


    "Hey, I did save you. A ''thank you'' wouldn''t be too much to ask!" Blaze Regret followed closely, his voice full of frustration.


    "Swish!"


    A cerulean light swept through the air as Nor Amelia pointed a water ripple sword at Blaze Regret''s neck, her voice icy: "Take one more step, and I will kill you."


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly as he forced a bitter smile. "There are only a few paths to the main tomb chamber. You can''t expect me to go back, can you?"


    Nor Amelia''s delicate brows furrowed slightly, her voice still icy: "That''s not my concern."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to say something, a voice from Master Magi made his eyes light up: "Your recent injury must have been caused by a backlash due to the excessive water poison, right?"


    Nor Amelia''s pretty face changed slightly as she slowly replied, "What does that have to do with you?"


    Seeing Nor Amelia''s reaction, Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. "You came to the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb to neutralize this backlash, didn''t you? If you trust me, I can help you with that."


    After a moment of contemplation, Nor Amelia slowly lowered the water ripple sword in her hand. Her cold, glassy eyes stared directly at Blaze Regret. Though her face remained indifferent, it was still captivating.


    In the quiet dark passage, two figures walked slowly, the dull sound of footsteps echoing clearly.


    With a slight glance, Blaze Regret looked at Nor Amelia''s cold and indifferent face, then quietly withdrew his gaze and refocused on the slightly dim ground ahead.


    Water poison is a condition that occurs in some water element spiritual masters. When they exceed the limits of their spiritual portal and form a contract with a powerful spiritual beast, there is a high chance of suffering a backlash from water poison. Spiritual masters afflicted by this are in constant pain.


    However, Nor Amelia is quite special. The backlash she experienced came from an even more terrifying mystical beast, causing her pain to be several times greater than that of ordinary spirit masters.


    Sorry for late update. Bonus Chapter 200 powerstone will be post this week

 Chapter 200 - 200 Mutate Again

    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart. Despite her suffering, Nor Amelia showed no sign of it on her face her resilience was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was contemplating, a breeze suddenly whistled through the dark corridor. The oil lamps on both sides swayed slightly with the airflow, producing creaking sounds that seemed especially eerie in the dim passageway.


    "Be careful, something seems off," Nor Amelia halted her steps, her slightly narrowed beautiful eyes scanning every direction of the dark path.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched. The temperature in the dark passage seemed to be slowly rising unknowingly. At the moment Nor Amelia''s voice fell, a wave of scorching wind swept through.


    "Whoosh!"


    Clusters of flames suddenly soared from each oil lamp, swiftly converging in mid air. Under the solemn gazes of Blaze Regret and Nor Amelia, the flames transformed into a fire snake over ten meters long. The intense firelight instantly brightened the previously dark passage as if it were daylight.


    Staring at the fire snake coiling in mid air, Blaze Regret was startled, for he sensed no signs of life from it. This meant that the fire snake was entirely formed of flames! The snake hissed, and its mouth suddenly opened wide, spewing a scarlet flame like a small sea of fire.


    Just as the Red were about to sweep down on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Nor Amelia let out a cold snort. Water Fairy twirled his hands, and a powerful water cannon formed from azure waves, instantly dispersing the fiery wave and then blasting the fire snake''s body, causing it to scatter.


    As clusters of flames rained down, Blaze Regret''s expression changed slightly. Those flames expanded and quickly wriggled, transforming into dozens of fire snakes that coiled around the dark passage, their sinister eyes fixed on the two of them.


    Nor Amelia''s brows furrowed slightly as Water Fairy''s hands moved continuously, sending out water cannons that shattered the fire snakes. However, the number of fire snakes only increased, making the entire passageway cramped.


    "That oil lamp..." Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted to the end of the dark corridor where a single oil lamp still burned alone, tiny flames flickering above it.


    "I''ll handle these fire snakes. You go break that oil lamp."


    Nor Amelia''s commanding voice left no room for doubt. Blaze Regret let out a bitter smile before his expression turned stern. He stamped his foot on the ground and charged forward. The surrounding fire snakes immediately became agitated, opening their menacing mouths to bite down.


    "Water Arrows!"


    With Nor Amelia''s soft cry, countless water droplets appeared in front of Water Fairy, transforming into clear water arrows that pierced through the fire snakes.


    With Nor Amelia''s help, Blaze Regret broke through the fire snakes'' heavy blockade and reached the oil lamp. Without hesitation, the Red on his shoulder swung a claw at it.


    "Clang!"


    The oil lamp fell to the ground, and a cluster of flames leapt out, letting out a startled scream as it fled deeper into the passage. The rampaging fire snakes vanished instantly.


    Seeing the fleeing flame, the Red''s eyes lit up. It stomped on the ground and charged forward at lightning speed, using its three tail to block the flame''s escape route. Then, it leapt into the air and swallowed the screaming flame in one gulp.


    "Burp~" Sitting on the ground, Red patted his belly and let out a satisfied burp, with a thin wisp of white smoke curling up from his mouth.


    Walking over slowly, Nor Amelia looked at Red sitting on the ground and blinked her serene eyes in confusion.


    "Don''t ask me, I don''t know anything," Blaze Regret said with a bitter smile and a shrug. Red''s behavior was beyond his expectations.


    "Roar!"


    A low growl sounded as Red suddenly placed all four paws on the ground. Torrents of blue flames began to burn from his body, and amid the blue, a faint yellow hue suddenly emerged.


    "This is..."


    Blaze Regret''s eyes widened slightly, a hint of joy quickly spreading across his face. "Is it going to mutate.


    The last time Red mutated was in fire source cave. Blaze Regret had thought that the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat was Red''s final form, but the scene before him shattered that belief in an instant.


    "Blood falls into Longyuan, divine flames descend from the southern mountains, dividing into nine parts and scattered among the world," Nor Amelia said, watching the yellow flames gradually dominating. A hint of astonishment flashed deep within her eyes.


    "What?" Blaze Regret looked at Nor Amelia in confusion.


    "Nothing, maybe I''m overthinking it," Nor Amelia said coldly, shaking her head. She then formed a seal with her hands, and a clear water shield enveloped Red.


    Gently lowering her jade like hand, Nor Amelia turned her back and let out a soft cough. Blaze Regret watched her trembling shoulders, his lips tightly pressed together, not knowing what she was thinking.


    The yellow flames seemed to be in a fierce battle, furiously clashing with the remaining blue flames. A dazzling light burst forth from Red''s forehead, and a mark like the sun gradually appeared.

    "Roar!"


    Red''s small paw struck the ground, sending waves of fiery ripples rapidly sweeping out. The sun mark on its forehead flickered once before disappearing into thin air.


    "Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat?" Blaze Regret''s eyes sparkled with joy as he looked at Red, unable to suppress the excitement in his voice.


    The Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat is an even rarer existence than the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat. According to the records of the entire Sun Moon Empire, it has only appeared once. The flames it wields, known as Sun Blazing Flames, far exceed the Two Tail Demon Flame Cat''s flames in both temperature and destructive power.


    "It actually succeeded." Nor Amelia turned around and whispered incredulously, the shock in her eyes fleeting.


    Sorry for late update. Bonus Chapter for 200 power stone will ne post this week.

 Chapter 201 - 201 Fire Blade Winged Serpent

    Wagging its three little tail, which was now flickering with yellow flames, Red immediately entered a state of bewitchment. With a light swipe of its paw, the hard rock on the ground was effortlessly slashed, leaving deep marks. At the edges of those marks, the yellow light shimmered brightly.


    "A mid tier Imperial level attack should be sufficient." Nor Amelia smiled faintly, her delicate face resembling an otherworldly black lotus, untouched by dust.


    "Since It''ve broken through to the intermediate Imperial grade, It should have mastered a new spiritual skill, right?" Blaze Regret walked in the dark passage, looking expectantly at the Red on his shoulder.


    Red wrinkled its small nose, mimicking Blaze Regret''s expression, and helplessly spread its claws.


    "An intermediate Imperial Grade Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat will not have new spiritual skills. Only when it breaks through to the Imperial level will it master the spiritual skill Flame Crystal Edge," Nor Amelia said calmly.


    "Flame Crystal Edge?" Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows in surprise, then a look of excitement flashed across his face.


    When he was browsing the ancient books transformed by Master Magi in Veloria City, he had seen this spiritual skill. Flame Crystal Edge can condense flames into crystal pillars to attack the enemy from all directions. If mastered to a certain extent, it can even penetrate the enemy''s body from the inside, which is extremely terrifying.


    "Stop."


    A crisp voice sounded, and Nor Amelia stopped, walking to a wall. She stretched out her slender, fair fingers and began to outline a complex pattern on the wall, which made Blaze Regret dizzy.


    As Nor Amelia withdrew her fingers, a pitch black dark slot suddenly appeared on the wall. Then, two stone doors dropped down on either side of the passage with a loud crash.


    "What happened?" Blaze Regret''s scanning gaze carried a trace of shock.


    "Didn''t you say you wanted to help me?" Nor Amelia said with a faint smile, then brushed her hand over the void realms Stone, producing dozens of white jade pieces in her palm and inserting them into the dark slot.


    Seeing those white jade pieces, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but be stunned. They were all spirit jades!


    The price of a single spirit jade is roughly estimated to be 500,000 gold coins. Ten pieces would be five million, enough to buy almost half of Velorian City.


    "Rich!" Blaze Regret muttered to himself as he looked at the calm faced Nor Amelia.


    "Click!"


    As all ten spirit jades were inserted, Nor Amelia gently stepped back. The wall in front of them suddenly opened to the sides, revealing an iron door with a handprint like indentation on its surface.


    "Inject a sufficient amount of fire type spiritual energy, and this door will open," Nor Amelia said softly.


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret walked to the iron door, spread his right palm, and pressed it heavily into the indentation. Visible yellow spiritual energy surged from his palm and was greedily absorbed by the iron door.


    As the spiritual energy was infused, yellow light spread from Blaze Regret''s palm, slowly permeating the entire iron door.


    "Without me, you wouldn''t be able to open this door, right?" Blaze Regret looked at Nor Amelia with a bit of smugness. Since the beginning, he had finally found a moment to feel significant.


    "There are twenty seven fire type spiritual masters who entered the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb. Sixteen have already died in the passage. As long as I capture a few more, this door can still be opened," Nor Amelia said expressionlessly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched, and he turned away with a face full of black lines. It seemed he was one of the remaining eleven...


    The yellow spiritual energy slowly surged over the iron door. Sweat dripped from Blaze Regret''s forehead, falling in tiny droplets to the ground. Only when the last trace of spiritual energy was infused did they hear a crisp "click." Some mechanism inside the iron door finally unlocked, and the door began to separate to the sides.


    "Why is your spiritual energy so refined?" Nor Amelia looked at Blaze Regret in some surprise. She had thought he would need to rest several times to open this door, but he had done it in one go.


    "Hehe, just a good foundation," Blaze Regret smiled, taking a Rejuvenating Pill from the void realm Stone and unabashedly popping it into his mouth.


    This was only his first spiritual portal. The spiritual energy of his second spiritual portal was ice attributed, so he hadn''t used it. If Nor Amelia knew, she would surely be even more astonished.


    Nor Amelia nodded and then stepped into a dark chamber. This chamber was much more spacious than the passage outside, and a faint flame element permeated the air within.


    "Fire Blade Winged Serpent, come out!"


    Nor Amelia''s cold and clear voice rang out. In an instant, a faint hissing sound echoed through the dark chamber. A massive fireball suddenly appeared above, and as it rotated, the air in the room became noticeably drier.


    "Hiss!"


    On either side of the fireball, a pair of blade like fiery wings burst open. The flames on the fireball then contracted as if being sucked in by a crimson mouth.


    "Fire Blade Winged Serpent, mid tier at the second level of the Imperial rank," Blaze Regret muttered to himself as he looked at the wings with a fiery sheen.


    Raising her delicate face, Nor Amelia stared at the Fire Blade Winged Serpent suspended in mid air. She took a gentle step forward, walking towards it.


    Seeing Nor Amelia approaching, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent emitted a chilling hiss, its eyes filled with excitement. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 202 - 202 Fire Blade Winged Serpent 2

    Watching Blaze Regret''s back, Nor Amelia was momentarily taken aback, her small mouth slightly open in surprise. Was she hearing things right? This boy, who had been fleeing from her not long ago, was now daring to shout at her?


    However, having someone stand up for her felt... not bad.


    Nor Amelia gently stroked the soft body of water fairy, quickly suppressing the hint of a smile on her lips. Her beautiful face once again adopted its usual cold demeanor.


    "Hiss!"


    Seeing the provocative look in Red''s eyes, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s pupils turned icy. With a flap of its wings, a dozen red fiery spiraling spikes shot down.


    Dodging to the left, Red evaded one of the spiraling spikes, quickly darting and maneuvering. Then, with its claws crossed, it unleashed a fire spikes ring that slashed at the Fire Blade Winged Serpent from a distance, slicing off several of its scales.


    Feeling the pain, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s face filled with intense killing intent. Its blade like wings, glowing with firelight, emitted a sharp whistling sound as they crazily slashed down towards Red.


    Flame Wing Rapid Slash! Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Watching the Fire Blade Winged Serpent rapidly flap its wings, Red clenched its claws, pale yellow flames coiling around them. Like a lightning bolt, it dashed toward the oncoming Fire Blade Winged Serpent.


    Blazing Claw and Rapid Claw, although only Red''s initial spirit techniques, had their power increased as Red''s strength grew. Therefore, dealing with the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s Flame Wing Rapid Slash wasn''t particularly taxing.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    In an instant, sparks flew continuously in the field as the two spirit beasts moved at incredible speeds. The hard ground, impacted by their clashes, cracked under the residual force.


    A crisp sound of metal clashing echoed continuously in the dark chamber. The two spirit beasts flickered back and forth. In an instant, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent spun in mid air, its broad fiery wings slashing down like a drawn sword, bringing with it a fierce, chilling wind.


    "Clang!"


    Claws met fiery wings, and the body of the Red was instantly sent flying backward. The Fire Blade Winged Serpent was also thrown back, but managed to stabilize itself by forcefully flapping its wings.


    With cold, sinister eyes, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent looked down at the Red and let out a sharp hiss. Crimson flames quickly spread from its tail, solidifying in an instant into a hard, bright armor.


    In a flash, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent appeared in front of the Red, its wings, now covered in fiery crystals, slashing down fiercely.


    "Boom!"


    A muffled sound was heard as the Red stepped on the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s head, quickly leaping into the air. The place where it had just stood now had a wide crack rapidly spreading, with the wall at the end covered in fissures.


    High in the air, the Red spread its claws, forming two fire spikes rings of thorns in a flash. The next moment, it continuously slashed at the Fire Blade Winged Serpent, sparks flying with each strike. However, apart from leaving numerous white marks, it caused no substantial damage.


    "So hard," Blaze Regret sighed lightly. After using its spirit skill Fire Armor, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s defense was comparable to that of a second tier high level Imperial grade. The dual fire spikes rings stood no chance of breaking through that defense. To defeat it, a stronger attack skill would be needed.


    Seeing the Red land, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s eyes filled with disdain. It flapped its wings, sending numerous sharp fiery spiral spikes towards the Red with crimson energy trails.


    "If two spike rings won''t do, then three spikes rings!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes sharpened, and he raised his hand. Pale yellow flames flared up with a whoosh, and he suddenly lowered himself, slamming his palm heavily onto the ground below.


    "Whoosh!"


    The scorching fiery zone instantly spread out, extending towards the Red.


    The Red let out a low growl, and from its palm, a surge of vigorous spiritual energy burst forth. In mid air, it transformed into a pale yellow spikes ring of fire, merging completely with the previous two spikes rings, and its size doubled.


    Under the control of the Red , the now three foot wide fire spike ring shot out rapidly, slicing through the oncoming fiery spiral spikes. It then streaked through the air, a pale yellow glow trailing behind, directly striking towards the underbelly of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent.


    The Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s face twitched slightly, sensing the terrifying aura contained within the fire spikes ring. It hurriedly brought its wings up to shield its abdomen.


    "Slash!"


    The sharp fire spikes ring, like a rapidly spinning blade, crashed against the wings of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent. A series of dazzling sparks erupted, and moments later, with a crisp cracking sound, a red crystal shard fell to the ground.


    It was a fragment of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s fiery armor.


    The speed suddenly increased, and the fire spikes ring sliced through the wings of the Fire Blade Winged Serpent. Its rotating body abruptly halted, and the pale yellow light flashed frantically.


    "Boom!"


    The Red beast clenched its claws, causing the fire spikes ring to expand and then explode. The resulting pale yellow energy shockwave scraped off a layer from the walls of the dark chamber.


    A painful screech sounded, and the Fire Blade Winged Serpent, now terrified, cast a glance at the Red. Its body began to ignite, attempting to transform into a fireball and disappear from the scene.


    "Don''t let it escape," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    The Red stepped forward, its eyes emitting two beams of spiritual energy, over ten feet long, piercing through the air and striking the Fire Blade Winged Serpent. These beams, like sharp swords of light, penetrated directly through its body.


    With an unwilling flap of its wings, the Fire Blade Winged Serpent''s body swiftly disintegrated. With a clinking sound, a red jade fragment gently fell to the ground, trembling slightly.

 Chapter 203 - 203 Jade Of The Flame King (Bonus)

    "Jade of the Flame King?" Master Magi''s incredulous voice echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "What is that?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled, glancing at Nor Amelia. But she merely looked back at him coldly.


    "The Flame King''s Jade, to be precise, is a kind of spiritual treasure," Master Magi explained. "When some powerful spirit beasts perish, they transform into various rare and peculiar items. Some of these can be borrowed by other spirit beasts, becoming part of their bodies and enhancing their strength.


    Legend has it that the ancestor of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros acquired a dragon horn transformed from a true dragon, which granted it dragon blood and the ability to crush spirit beasts of the same rank."


    "What other uses does it have?" Blaze Regret asked, surprised but curious.


    "Other uses include what this Flame King''s Jade can do. When worn by a fire type spirit master, it can significantly shorten the time needed for cultivation, allowing spirit beasts within the spirit portal to break through quickly. Describing it as ''achieving a thousand miles in a single breath'' wouldn''t be an exaggeration.


    For water type and ice type spirit master, it can suppress water or ice toxins within their bodies."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret smacked his lips. He seemed to understand the origin of the name "Blazing Fire Spirit King." According to historical records of the Sun Moon Empire, this individual was once an unknown minor spirit master who suddenly rose to prominence overnight, defeating the strongest contemporaries until his eventual fall. He likely relied on the Flame King''s Jade.


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly, walked up to the Flame King''s Jade, and gently picked it up, wiping it with his sleeve.


    Seeing this, a trace of subtle disappointment flashed in Nor Amelia''s eyes, but she quickly sighed softly. In the face of such a treasure, who wouldn''t be tempted?


    "Here, take it. Our past misunderstandings are cleared up," Blaze Regret said, tossing the Flame King''s Jade through the air, where it landed in Nor Amelia''s palm.


    "Do you know what this is?" Nor Amelia asked incredulously, looking at Blaze Regret. This was the Flame King''s Jade, after all. Any fire type spirit master wearing it could smoothly ascend to the Spirit Sovereign level within three years, and might even touch the realm of powerful Spirit Celestial!


    "Does it matter if I know or not? It''s yours anyway," Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently. With the Flame King''s Jade, one might soar to great heights, but that wasn''t what he sought. A spirit master who grows through battles is the true strong one.


    Nor Amelia pressed her rosy lips together and gently placed the Flame King''s Jade inside her clothing, the vigilance in her eyes subtly fading away.


    From the momentary surprise in Blaze Regret''s eyes, it was clear he understood the value of the Flame King''s Jade. Although she didn''t know how he knew, any other spirit master would certainly not have handed it over so readily.


    "We''re close to the main burial chamber. How about we cooperate?" Blaze Regret suggested with a smile, looking at Nor Amelia.


    After glancing at Blaze Regret''s clear eyes, a faint smile appeared on Nor Amelia''s delicate face, the beautiful curve of her lips drawing one into a trance.


    In the dark passage, sharp arrows shot out from all directions. Water Fairy spun his hands, and a wide vortex of spiritual power swirled out, sweeping around and shattering the arrows into fragments.


    "The main burial chamber should be ahead," Nor Amelia said softly, her lively eyes fixed on the iron door in front.


    nodded and was about to order Red to blast it open when Nor Amelia, standing beside him, gently waved her hand.


    "Don''t force it open. There''s a hidden lock on the iron door. We just need to find a way to open it. If we damage the treasures inside, it would be a great loss," Nor Amelia said with a faint smile, walking slowly to the door.


    "You know about traps?" looked at Nor Amelia in surprise.


    "I''ve learned a bit," Nor Amelia replied with a nod and smile. She then fell silent, extending her slender fingers to gently press a small, protruding point on the door.


    As Nor Amelia''s finger moved the silver dot, it slowly shifted. The sheer number of these points, like stars, made turn his gaze away in frustration.


    "Click!" S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A crisp sound echoed. Nor Amelia clapped her hands lightly and took a few steps back.


    With a clang, dust accumulated on the top of the iron door fell, and it began to lift slowly. Moments later, a spacious burial chamber appeared before their eyes.


    In the center of the chamber lay a massive coffin. Above it grew a huge fire tree, its dense branches stretching out. Six white, glowing orbs hung from the branches, each containing a vague shadow.


    "This must be the real treasure," said, licking his slightly dry lips, filled with excitement.


    "It seems no one else has arrived yet. Shall we split it?" Nor Amelia tilted her head and smiled.


    "Alright, I''ll go get them," grinned. Flames burst from his feet as he shot towards the fire tree, leaping lightly and reaching out to grab one of the glowing orbs.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, just as Blaze Regret was about to touch it, a lightning spear, crackling with electric sparks, suddenly shot at him with the sound of thunder, aimed straight at his heart.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed. Almost instinctively, he reversed his palm towards his chest, and a bone chilling ice blade slashed down hard.


    "Bang!"


    Stumbling to the ground, a trickle of blood appeared on Blaze Regret''s chest. At the spot where he had been standing, a sharp lightning spear was embedded in the ground, shattering the surface rock, with dazzling lightning coursing around it.


    Slowly straightening up, Blaze Regret looked at Kartis Miller, who was grinning mischievously. His gaze icy cold, he channeled cold energy into his palm to freeze the injured area.


    200 Power Stone Bonus Chapter Last Week


    Update will change to 11 pm start tomorrow

 Chapter 204 - 204 One Versus Two

    The lightning spear had come too fast for him to react, let alone use the tree trunk for support. He could only use the force from the ice blade to knock himself down.


    "Unexpectedly, you''re the first to arrive. Not bad," Kartis Miller glanced at , smirking disdainfully. He walked over to the fire tree and reached out to grab one of the glowing orbs, as if the items on the tree naturally belonged to him.


    "Try extending your hand one more time."


    The cold voice that rang in his ears made Kartis Miller''s hand freeze. He turned back incredulously to see Nor Amelia standing there, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes. How could she be with Blaze Regret?


    When he had entered, he had been so focused on attacking Blaze Regret that he hadn''t noticed Nor Amelia standing at the exit of another dark passage.


    "Did you come in with Nor Amelia?" Kartis Miller asked with difficulty.


    "Does it matter to you?" Blaze Regret''s gaze grew colder as he looked at Kartis Miller. Beside him, Red''s eyes were equally sharp.


    If Blaze Regret hadn''t reacted quickly enough, a corpse would likely be lying on the ground now.


    "Take one and then step back."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to make a move, Nor Amelia''s voice suddenly came from behind him.


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Miller quickly nodded, grabbed one of the glowing orbs, and retreated hastily. His eyes were filled with apprehension when looking at Nor Amelia, but when he glanced at Blaze Regret, an uncontrollable chill surged from his pupils.


    Who do you think you are, standing next to Nor Amelia? If this were the heart of the empire, you''d be dead a thousand times over by now, you insignificant spirit master!


    "Ha ha, the treasures of the Blazing Fire Spirit King are indeed here!"


    A voice filled with surprise echoed from another dark passage. Mon Dark and Mon Den walked out side by side, their eyes brimming with undisguised greed as they looked at the glowing orbs on the fire tree.


    "Clack!"


    Charles taylor, with an indifferent expression, emerged from another dark passage just as Mon Dark and Mon Den entered the main burial chamber. He glanced at the people in the chamber, his face showing a hint of surprise, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor.


    This outcome was not far off from what he had anticipated, except for the unexpected presence of Blaze Regret.


    "It''s actually you?"


    Mon Den''s gaze landed on Blaze Regret, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "So you''ve become a Ninth level spirit warrior grade master. No wonder you had the courage to enter. But whether you can leave alive is another matter entirely."


    Blaze Regret slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at Mon Den, his voice indifferent: "Your Ice Silkworm can''t withstand three moves from me."


    Hearing this, Mon Den''s face twitched, and anger surged in his eyes. Just a month ago, he had forced Blaze Regret to jump into the Black water River, and now Blaze Regret was so arrogant?


    Despite his anger, Mon Den knew that Blaze Regret was not bluffing. Although he had found some opportunities in the secret chamber outside that allowed his Ice Silkworm to advance by one level, the strong restraint of fire type spirit beasts meant that a few claws could tear it apart.


    "Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat?" Mon Dark stared at the Red beside Blaze Regret, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes. Wasn''t it a Two Tail Demon Flame Cat before? How did it become a Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat now?


    Could it be that this is the kid''s second spirit beast?


    For a moment, Mon Dark didn''t think about mutation, as the odds of a spirit beast mutating were extremely slim. He couldn''t believe Blaze Regret would have such luck.


    "So, how are we dividing these glowing orbs?" Charles taylor glanced around, his gaze lingering on Nor Amelia for a moment before quickly shifting away. If there was anyone in the room he was most reluctant to fight, it was undoubtedly this girl.


    "There are five left. We four brothers get four, and you get one," Mon Den said with a smile.


    At this point, Kartis Miller, who had obtained one of the glowing orbs, had long disappeared from the burial chamber. Mon Den, without thinking, took it upon himself to distribute the remaining orbs.


    "Think carefully; she''s not someone to mess with," Charles taylor said warily, glancing at Nor Amelia.


    "Then she can have two, we brothers get two, and you get one," Mon Den hesitated for a moment before speaking again. Judging from Kartis Miller and Charles taylor''s previous attitudes, he knew the girl had a formidable background, so he didn''t dare go too far and made the greatest possible concession.


    "That''s settled then," Mon Dark said indifferently, immediately stepping forward to collect the two glowing orbs into his void realms stone.


    "Hey, I don''t think I quite agree with that."


    With a slight shrug, Blaze Regret''s somewhat helpless voice slowly echoed.


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s voice, Charles taylor and Mon Dark were both taken aback. Immediately, their eyes, filled with thick mockery, turned to Blaze Regret.


    "So, how do you propose to divide it?" Charles taylor asked playfully, his smile full of sarcasm.


    "She and I will each take two, and the three of you will take one," Blaze Regret said seriously.


    "Haha!"


    As soon as Blaze Regret finished speaking, the three people present burst into laughter. Especially Mon Den, who laughed so hard that tears almost came out, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

    "I have to say, you are quite the comedian. But if you''re serious, I''d say there''s something wrong with your head." Charles taylor pointed to his head and said calmly.


    "Alright, move aside quickly. We''ll settle some scores outside," Mon Den said impatiently, waving his hand. If it weren''t for the fear of unforeseen circumstances, he would have already told Mon Dark to kill Blaze Regret. But even so, he had no intention of letting Blaze Regret off.

 Chapter 205 - 205 One Versus Two 2

    "Sigh, it seems they don''t believe in our strength."


    Blaze Regret sighed helplessly. Beside him, Red stepped forward slowly, the pale yellow flames on his body suddenly surged, making him look like a burning sun from a distance.


    "It seems you really have a death wish," Mon Dark''s cold voice echoed. As he stomped his foot on the ground, the hard ground instantly cracked open, and a ten meter long rock snake emerged from the fissure. Its massive body was connected by round rocks, making it extremely horrifying. On its forehead was a grey white single horn.


    "A mid tier, fourth rank Rock Horned Python, huh?" Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. Although the Rock Horned Python''s rank was high, with Red''s Flame Breath skill and his enhanced Flame Domain, it might not be impossible to fight it.


    "Leave it to me."


    Just as Red was about to leap out, Nor Amelia suddenly stepped forward. Water Fairy waved her small hand, and clear water droplets began to encircle her body.


    "How can this be!" Charles taylor''s face turned slightly unpleasant. His reaction was no less astonished than Kartis Miller''s earlier. The icy cold Nor Amelia from the central empire actually stepped in to help someone? And it was a male, no less...


    If this news got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar.


    "Whoosh!"


    Mon Dark saw Nor Amelia step out and was about to say something, but she clearly had no intention of wasting words. A water cannon, shimmering with wave like ripples and carrying a bit of moisture, blasted heavily onto the rock snake, forcing it back a bit.


    Seeing this, Mon Dark''s face turned cold. Having rampaged through Hildan Town for many years, with countless bloodstains on his hands, there was no way he would let someone attack him unchallenged. He drove the rock snake to charge at Water Fairy.


    If worse comes to worst, he would kill this girl and then make a run for it, no matter what her background!


    "Now, it''s just you left."


    Mon Den smiled faintly and looked at Charles taylor. "Let''s team up and take this kid down first. As for the treasures, we''ll split them as we discussed."


    "No problem," Charles taylor replied with a sinister smile. He might not dare to take on Nor Amelia, but he wasn''t afraid of killing this newly promoted spirit master weakling.


    "Whoosh!"


    A mass of black mist surged in front of Charles taylor, and a white skeleton slowly emerged from it. In its hollow eye sockets, two flames flickered gently.


    "Today, you''ll get a taste of my Ghost Sword Skeleton," Charles taylor grinned.


    The Ghost Sword Skeleton glanced indifferently at Red, then clenched its hand. The ground instantly cracked with fissures, and from the center of those fissures, a sword hilt made of white bones emerged.


    Gripping the sword hilt, the Ghost Sword Skeleton slowly drew out a segmented bone sword. Thick black mist swirled around the bone sword, and faintly, the sound of wailing cries could be heard.


    "Swish!"


    In the instant the bone sword was drawn, the Ghost Sword Skeleton swung it with a backhand motion. Several substantial long swords materialized in the air, each blade enveloped with tendrils of black mist. With a slight tremor, they sliced through the air, leaving black sword marks that enveloped Red.


    A mid tier Spirit Technique: Splitting Sword!


    A cold glint flashed in Red''s eyes as he darted forward. Just before the bone sword shadows could pierce him, his body split in two. When he merged back together, he appeared in front of the Ice Silkworm. A pale yellow flame burst from his sharp claws, which he swung down fiercely.


    "Ice Silk Array!"


    Sensing the scorching heat from Red''s claws, Mon Den urgently shouted. Web like ice silk strands spewed from the shaking Ice Silkworm''s mouth, aiming to entangle Red.


    With a sneer, Red twisted his body. Under the force of gravity, his claws instantly shredded through the webs, cutting through them as easily as a knife through butter.


    "Do you think I don''t exist?!"


    Charles taylor''s furious voice rang out as the Ghost Sword Skeleton flickered and appeared in front of the Ice Silkworm. The bone sword in its hand swung up, casting a dark gleam, and clashed fiercely with Red''s claws. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Clang!"


    Blinding sparks flew off the bone sword. Red pushed off the sword hilt with his feet, retreating just as several pale blue ice spikes grazed past him, barely missing but taking a few tufts of fur.


    "What a pity," Blaze Regret sighed softly as he watched Red retreat. Without the obstruction of the Ice Silk Array, even if the Ghost Sword Skeleton arrived, Red could have slain the Ice Silkworm first. After all, the fire element spirit beast deals double damage to ice element spirit beasts.


    Red''s claws swung continuously, but the Ice Silkworm''s ice spikes and the Ghost Sword Skeleton''s Splitting Swords forced him to retreat step by step. His claws dug into the ground, leaving clear marks as he was pushed back.


    "Roar!"


    Being pressed by two spirit beasts, Red was truly enraged. Three pale yellow flames swirled around his body, instantly shredding the incoming attacks with his sharp claws.


    "Flame Breath?" Mon Den and Charles taylor were momentarily stunned, then both sneered contemptuously. If this was Blaze Regret''s trump card, then today, the main chamber of this Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb would surely claim two lives.


    "Don''t you have another ice type spirit beast? Why not summon it? Are you afraid?" Mon Den taunted with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret merely squinted his eyes. The Ice Control Irenix could at most withstand the attack of a mid tier, second rank Imperial Grade spirit beast. But in the field, there was a second rank inperial grade Ice Silkworm and a third rank Imperial Grade Ghost Sword Skeleton.


    If the latter seized an opportunity to unleash a powerful spirit technique, it would at least result in serious injuries.

 Chapter 206 - 206 One Versus Two 3

    After all, the precedent set by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was still fresh in his mind.


    Although the Ghost Sword Skeleton couldn''t compare to the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, the latter hadn''t used any spirit techniques at the time. In contrast, the Ghost Sword Skeleton under Charles taylor''s control would definitely launch its strongest attack.


    "Jumping around like a monkey," Charles taylor said irritably, waving his hand. "Ghost Sword Skeleton, use the Nether Slash and cut it down with one strike!"


    Nodding slightly, the Ghost Sword Skeleton raised its bone sword. Dense black mist rapidly gathered at the sword''s edge, causing the blade to hum and tremble.


    "Nether Slash!"


    The bone sword of the Ghost Sword Skeleton swung forcefully, and a dense black mist transformed into a massive sword energy about several meters long, shooting out violently. Amidst it, countless wailing cries could be faintly heard, echoing clearly in the main burial chamber.


    The black sword energy rapidly enlarged in the pupils. Red''s eyes slightly closed, then suddenly opened wide. Two pale yellow energy beams collided with the black sword energy. With a loud bang, an invisible shockwave burst forth, and cracks spread from the explosion point.


    "Ice Crystal Wings!"


    At the moment the beams and sword energy met, the Ice Silkworm''s body trembled. Brilliant ice crystals formed on both sides of its body, creating a pair of large, magnificent ice wings. With a gentle flap, the Ice Silkworm lifted off the ground. Sharp ice spikes formed in front of it, then whistled downward with a fierce wind.


    Red slashed through several ice spikes with a swipe of its claw. It opened its mouth repeatedly, releasing rounds of pale yellow radiant suns, shattering the sword energy cleaved by the Ghost Sword Skeleton. A hint of anger rose in its eyes.


    If it were a one on one fight, Red would never be so passively suppressed by the two spirit beasts. However, whenever it tried to attack one first, the other would intervene, consuming a large amount of its spiritual power in vain.


    With a stomp on the ground, Red leaped into the air, its pupils burning with pale yellow flames, staring straight into the eyes of the Ice Silkworm. Suddenly, the latter''s gaze became dazed, and the freshly formed sharp ice spikes fell to the ground with a clatter.


    "Not good!" Mon Den''s face changed slightly as if he suddenly recalled something.


    However, before Mon Den could react, the Ice Silkworm abruptly turned its head, looking down at the Ghost Sword Skeleton from above. Sharp ice spikes, like pale blue streams of light, violently pierced into its body, sending several pieces of white bone shrapnel flying.


    "What are you doing!" Charles taylor turned his head, glaring angrily at Mon Den.


    "It''s not me; it''s that Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat''s spirit skill controlling my Ice Silkworm!" Mon Den''s face turned pale. He didn''t have time to argue with Charles taylor''s anger; he only knew that his Ice Silkworm was in trouble!


    Sure enough, Red''s pupils shot out two more energy beams. Under the fierce impact of the beams, the Ice Silkworm suspended in mid air only lasted a moment before shattering. Dark green liquid rained down like a shower, and with a crisp ding, only a pair of intact pale blue ice wings fell to the ground.


    Staring at the ice wings amidst the green blood, Charles taylor''s mouth gaped open in shock. In just a fleeting moment, the once lively Ice Silkworm was dead?


    "Poof!"


    Beside Charles taylor, Mon Den looked in anguish at the green blood spreading on the ground. A mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth. The backlash from the damage to his first spirit portal was nothing compared to the pain in his heart at this moment.


    In Hildan Town, whenever someone mentioned the second leader of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, the first thing that came to mind was his Ice Silkworm. Without a Imperial level spirit beast, a spirit master was nothing but an empty shell.


    "What is your second spirit beast?" Charles taylor asked gravely, watching Red and the Ghost Sword Skeleton clashing.


    "A mid tier fifth level warrior grade." Mon Den''s voice was full of bitterness. Who among ordinary spirit masters would waste time cultivating a second spirit beast? The Ice Silkworm that had just died was his strongest combat power.


    "Damn it!" Charles taylor gritted his teeth. Even with the Ice Silkworm''s assistance, the Ghost Sword Skeleton could only fight Red to a standstill. The Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat, with its Flame Breath spirit skill, couldn''t be measured by surface strength.


    "Flowing Flame Fan!" Blaze Regret saw Charles taylor''s grim expression and smiled faintly.


    Red''s fluffy three tail rose, and with a low cry, a fan shaped pale yellow flame swept out as its threr tail swung down. The Ghost Sword Skeleton, defending with its sword, stumbled back a few steps.


    Shaking off the pale yellow flames clinging to its bone sword, the Ghost Sword Skeleton''s chest heaved, breath heavy. Its once pristine white body was now charred and blackened from the flames.


    "You actually kill spirit beasts right off the bat, truly vicious. Today, I won''t let you leave." Charles taylor looked at Blaze Regret, his voice icy.


    "Hey, this isn''t a sparring match. And if I remember correctly, you were the ones who wanted to kill me first." Blaze Regret sneered. Charles taylor was just looking for an excuse to kill him to avoid trouble from Nor Amelia after defeating Mon Dark. Did they really think he would just let them slaughter him?


    "Not only are you ruthless, but also unreasonable."


    Charles taylor''s enraged voice rang out: "Ghost Sword Skeleton, use Soul Devourer Break and kill him and that Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat together!" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing this, the Ghost Sword Skeleton formed seals with both hands. The bone sword, entwined with black energy, slowly rose. The amount of black energy surged as the bone sword ascended.

 Chapter 207 - 207 One Versus Two Final

    The Ghost Sword Skeleton''s hand seals changed, and the bone sword retreated half a step before suddenly shooting out violently. The black energy entwining it formed a dark serpent, carrying the bone sword as it shot like lightning towards Red, leaving a long black streak in the air.


    Red''s soft ears twitched, and with a swipe of its sharp claws, three fire spikes rings filled with sharp thorns spun in front of it. These quickly converged, forming a pale yellow wheel of light enhanced by the Flame Domain, which collided heavily with the incoming bone sword.


    "Boom!"


    The fire spikes rings whistled out, striking the tip of the bone sword. Invisible ripples spread from the point of impact, carving a deep crack into the ground below. Within the crack, pale yellow light and black sinister energy faintly intertwined.


    Ripples spread out, making Mon Den''s eye twitch. The black energy on the bone sword was being devoured by the pale yellow flame at an extremely slow pace, and it wouldn''t be long before it was completely erased.


    "Moon Slash!"


    Mon Den shouted coldly, swinging his palm fiercely towards Blaze Regret. Dark spirit energy turned into a crescent shaped blade, swiftly slashing at Blaze Regret. Once a spirit master died, the spirit beast''s power would quickly wane, and Red''s assault would naturally collapse.


    Blaze Regret''s palm opened, and an icy flying blade appeared, clashing with the dark blade. Both attacks ultimately annihilated each other.


    "Sorry, I have offensive spirit skills too," Blaze Regret smirked, causing Mon Den''s face to darken instantly.


    As the Threr Tail Sun Blazing Cat''s flames corroded it, cracks suddenly appeared on the sharp tip of the bone sword and quickly spread, covering the entire blade in the blink of an eye.


    "Crack!"


    After a brief pause, the bone sword shattered inch by inch. The rotating fire spikes Rings, like a pale yellow streak of light, pierced through the bone sword and finally slashed heavily onto the Ghost Sword Skeleton.


    A grating sound of friction echoed, and half of the Ghost Sword Skeleton''s body shattered. As the fire spikes rings flew out, the flames in its hollow eye sockets dimmed significantly.


    "Clang!"


    The fire spike ring sliced into the wall, producing a crisp sound that made Nor Amelia and Mon Dark simultaneously halt their actions. The atmosphere in the tomb chamber instantly quieted down.


    Staring at the ground covered in green blood, Mon Dark couldn''t help but twitch his eyelids. Due to Nor Amelia''s aggressive containment, he hadn''t had the energy to pay attention to the nearby battlefield. Who knew that when he turned around, he would see such a tragic scene.


    "This kid, didn''t he just advance to Spirit Imperial Master?" Mon Dark''s heart was like a raging wave. He had thought that Mon Den and Charles taylor teaming up would be able to instantly crush Blaze Regret, but who would have guessed that both of them would actually be defeated!


    Nor Amelia''s beautiful eyes blinked lightly, and a slight smile appeared on her pretty face. This guy really didn''t disappoint her.


    "Blaze Regret, we have no enmity. From today on, I will no longer be your enemy." Charles taylor, who was barely alive, put his Ghost Sword Skeleton into the spirit portal, fearfully cupped his hands towards Blaze Regret, and retreated continuously, moving towards a dark passage.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret only gazed at him indifferently, without saying a word.


    Licking his lips, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Charles taylor''s lowered eyes. He swung his hand fiercely, and a fiery red fruit shot violently towards Blaze Regret.


    "Die!" Charles taylor laughed maliciously. This Explosive Fruit was something he had obtained from a secret chamber. He had originally planned to use it against Mon Dark, but now, killing Blaze Regret was his only goal. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a faint smile, just as the Explosive Fruit was shot out, Blaze Regret raised his hand, and a faint yellow spiritual energy, like spreading ripples, caused the Explosive Fruit to freeze in mid air.


    "How can this be!" Charles taylor''s smile suddenly froze, replaced by intense horror. He had clearly hidden it well, so why had Blaze Regret still detected it?


    "I''ve played with this thing more than you." Blaze Regret''s lips curled up, and with a gentle grip of his hand, the fiery red light immediately emanated from the Explosive Fruit, filling the air with scorching heat.


    "No!" Seeing the Explosive Fruit so close, Charles taylor''s face was filled with horror. Not far away, Mon Den was also scared out of his wits by the flashing Explosive Fruit, fleeing in a panic.


    "Boom!"


    Crimson energy suddenly erupted, quickly engulfing Charles taylor and Mon Den. Waves of energy swept around, painting Blaze Regret''s face a bright red.


    "Crack, crack!"


    The sound of cracking joints echoed as the rock serpent coiled tightly, protecting a horrified Mon Dark within its layers. The aftermath of the explosion swept through, forcing the rock serpent back half a meter.


    The pale yellow wall of Sun Flame Wall rippled under the violent energy impact. Within it, Blaze Regret gazed calmly ahead, his eyes incredibly serene.


    After a while, the crimson energy gradually dissipated, revealing a charred crater in everyone''s sight. Cracks spread outward from the crater''s edges, and above it, there was nothing left.


    Mon Den and Charles taylor had been obliterated by the explosion of the Explosive Fruit, leaving not even a trace of their existence behind.


    Dispelling the Sun Flame wall, Blaze Regret scoffed coldly. He had long known the power of the Explosive Fruit. Even Snow Azrul, the second elder of the Snow family, couldn''t withstand it, let alone the low tier spirit Imperial masters Mon Den and Charles taylor.


    Seeing the two living beings disappear in the blink of an eye, Mon Dark shuddered. If that Explosive Fruit had detonated in front of him, even with the rock serpent''s protection, he would likely have perished.


    Turning his gaze to the indifferent Blaze Regret, a hint of killing intent gradually surged in Mon Dark''s eyes.

 Chapter 208 - 208 This is A Mystical Beast?

    "Blaze Regret, I will kill you and avenge my brother!"


    With a roar, the rock serpent''s segments moved rapidly, creating a highly oppressive force, shooting towards Blaze Regret like a released arrow.


    "ROAR!"


    With a low growl, Red flicked its claws lightly, flashing in front of Blaze Regret. The pale yellow flames quickly surrounded its sharp claws.


    However, just as it was halfway there, the rock serpent suddenly swung its tail, pulling down a light cluster from the fire tree. It then swiftly turned, carrying Mon Dark on its back, and darted into a dark passage.


    "Blaze Regret, next time we meet, let''s see if you still have anyone to help you!"


    Mon Dark''s faint voice reached his ears, and Blaze Regret helplessly lowered his hand. If the former had dared to fight head on, even without Nor Amelia''s intervention, he was somewhat confident he could keep him in this tomb.


    After all, having fought with Nor Amelia for such a long time, Mon Dark''s spiritual power was nearly depleted. Without recovery pills like the Hui Ling Dan, Blaze Regret undoubtedly held the upper hand.

    Dense leaves, resembling flames, grew on the tree trunk. Blaze Regret walked to the base of the fire tree, sensing briefly before leaving two light clusters. The remaining two fell into Nor Amelia''s hands.


    "It truly is this item," Nor Amelia remarked with a gentle smile, holding one of the light clusters. As the light dissipated, a turquoise water bead appeared in her delicate palm.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.


    "This is a Nilai Spiritual Pearl, which can barely be considered a spiritual treasure," Nor Amelia explained with a smile. With a wave of Water Fairy''s hand, the Nilai Spiritual Pearl floated above her palm. Clear water waves circled around it, producing a pleasant sound.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a flick of Water Fairy''s hand, the water waves surrounding the Nilai Spiritual Pearl transformed into a barrage of turquoise water arrows, shooting into the wall and creating deep craters.


    Seeing the destruction caused by Water Fairy, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. After eating the Nilai Spiritual Pearl, Water Fairy''s strength could rival that of a sixth tier high level Imperial Grade. Each water arrow had the power to pierce through Mon Dark''s rock serpent.


    Glancing at the remaining light cluster, Nor Amelia seemed a bit disappointed. A water attribute spirit crystal was far inferior to the Nilai Spiritual Pearl. Without a second thought, she tossed it directly into the Void Realm Stone.


    "Are you leaving?" Blaze Regret asked, his gaze complex as he looked at Nor Amelia''s delicate face. An unfamiliar emotion swirled within his heart.


    A gentle breeze blew by, lifting Nor Amelia''s waterfall like green hair that reached her waist. Her elegant, albeit slightly immature face, hinted at the exceptional beauty she would become in the future.


    "You are too weak," Nor Amelia stated, her clear voice suddenly breaking the silence.


    Blaze Regret''s lips moved slightly, about to say something when a surge of deep blue spiritual power erupted from Nor Amelia, enveloping the entire tomb chamber as if submerged in turbulent seawater. An unimaginably vast shadow loomed coldly over Blaze Regret from the water, disappearing in an instant.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a wave of Nor Amelia''s delicate hand, the seawater instantly receded. Blaze Regret, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders, gasped for breath, his forehead covered in sweat, and his face showing unmistakable shock.


    "This... this is a Mystical Beast?"


    "Blaze Regret, I hope that soon, you will have the qualifications to stand proudly among the young generation at the center of the empire. At that time, perhaps we will have the chance to meet again."


    The clear voice, like an orchid in a secluded valley, echoed in Blaze Regret''s ears. He looked at the empty tomb chamber and lowered his head, letting out a deep breath.


    The center of the empire, huh? I will go there.


    With a gentle clench of his hand, the two light clusters in Blaze Regret''s hand released a few light dots, which drifted away. The radiance emitted also gradually faded with the dispersing light dots.


    As the radiance disappeared, a fiery red spiritual herb and a small lump of mud like substance appeared in Blaze Regret''s sight.


    The fiery red spiritual herb had three flat leaves extending from its stem, and at the top of the stem was a light red fluffy ball that exuded a faint, scorching aura.


    "Flame Cotton Grass?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he gazed at the spiritual herb.


    Flame Cotton Grass is an extremely rare third grade spiritual herb that mostly grows in deserts. Due to absorbing a large amount of fire elements from the air, its internal fire attribute energy becomes very rich. If a fire type spiritual beast refines it, there is a significant chance it can break through its barriers and advance a grade.


    Looking up at the Flame Cotton Grass in Blaze Regret''s hand, the Red''s eyes were filled with intense anticipation. In the moment Blaze Regret''s hand dropped, its small tongue curled, swallowing the Flame Cotton Grass into its belly.


    If it had already broken through to the high level Imperial rank earlier, Charles taylor''s Ghost Sword Skeleton would not have been able to stir up any trouble in front of the Red. A single Flame Crystal would have easily been able to kill it.


    "This thing, it seems to be Tortoise Saliva?" Blaze Regret looked at the remaining lump of mud like substance in his hand, frowning slightly. According to the records of the Medicine Emperor Seed, this item was only a material for refining a second grade pill, so why was it placed so carefully by the Flame Spirit King in the tomb chamber?


    "Hehe, the Medicine Emperor was devoted to alchemy all his life, and he wouldn''t pay attention to things unrelated to pills. Tortoise Saliva, in addition to being a material for refining pills, can also be applied to some objects to increase their hardness and reduce the impact force from collisions," Master Magi''s laughter suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s ears.

 Chapter 209 - 209 Fighting Kartis Miller

    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret gently nodded. An idea sparked in his mind, and the Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor, emitting a pale cyan glow, flashed onto the ground.


    "Not bad. It seems that there are some things you can handle on your own now, even without me," Master Magi chuckled lightly. With a wave of his hand, a thick ancient book descended in front of Blaze Regret.


    "Master Magi, you..." Blaze Regret lifted his eyes slightly, looking at Master Magi, who was floating in mid air. A foreboding feeling surged in his heart.


    With a slight movement, Master Magi rotated his palm, and the standing fire tree instantly shattered. A page of a book, emitting a golden sheen, slowly rose from within.


    "The edges of this tomb chamber are inscribed with many runes. Without you, I might not have been able to enter," Master Magi said as he opened his palm. The golden page, about a foot wide, gradually fell into his hand.


    "Don''t worry, I am just going to sleep for a while. The road ahead will be yours to walk alone. I hope that when I awaken, I will see a much stronger Blaze Regret." Master Magi smiled, then transformed into a golden light and merged into the Void Realms Stone.


    "Master Magi, Master Magi?" Blaze Regret murmured softly, a bitter smile appearing on his face. In fact, from the beginning, he had noticed the peculiarity of the fire tree, which remained intact despite the energy impact of the Explosive Fire Fruit. The only explanation was that it was protected by some foreign object.


    However, Master Magi''s disappearance was something he found hard to get used to.


    Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Blaze Regret gently patted the Red''s small head and then directed his spiritual sense toward the Ice Control Irenix in the second spirit portal. From now on, it would just be the two of them.


    "Buzz!"


    Suppressing his thoughts, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground, forming seals with his hands. The Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor lying on the ground immediately stood up, trembling slightly. A pale cyan light flowed across its surface.


    "Go!" Blaze Regret commanded softly. The solid looking Igniting Tortoise Saliva suddenly began to flow like a liquid, continuously extending until it enveloped the entire Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor like a fiery red curtain.


    Under the erosion of the Igniting Tortoise Saliva, the pale cyan luster on the surface of the Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor gradually faded, replaced by a deep fiery color. A scorching aura permeated the surface of the tortoise shell.


    Half an incense stick later.


    "It''s a success!"


    Wiping the sweat from his forehead, a trace of joy flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The current Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor''s defensive capability far surpassed its previous state. It could now withstand attacks from Imperial level spirit beasts without breaking, and even more enticing to Blaze Regret was its shock absorbing effect.


    Ordinary attacks from Imperial level spirit beasts would no longer leave him coughing up blood as they used to.


    "Whoo!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s spiritual power dissipated from his palm, the Red not far away let out a cheerful Cat cry. A wave of scorching fire slowly swept outwards.


    The flame in its eyes gradually faded, and the Red lowered its head. Under the influence of the Cat illusion, its body began to shrink, transforming in an instant into a petite Flame Cat. Its soft fur was even more beautiful than that of an ordinary flame Cat.


    "Next, it''s time to elevate the Ice Control Irenix to the Imperial level." Blaze Regret gently stroked the Red''s fur and smiled. If not for the mutation, the Red would at most be on par with the Ice Control Irenix, but now it was undoubtedly much stronger.


    Standing up, Blaze Regret placed the Red on his shoulder and walked out of the tomb chamber. The greatest treasures of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb had been looted, and there was no need to waste time on minor matters outside.


    As Blaze Regret walked by, the spirit hunters who were scavenging around stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with fear. An overwhelming shock rose in their hearts.


    This guy actually advanced to a Spirit Imperial Master? S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Isn''t he even younger than Roberth Brown?


    Ignoring the astonished gazes of the crowd, Blaze Regret walked out of the tomb. The blinding midday sun made him squint for a moment before he gradually got used to it.


    "To the south of the Hildan Mountain Range, there are many low level Imperial grade spirit beasts. Combat is undoubtedly the most effective way to help the Ice Control Irenix break through quickly."


    With this thought, Blaze Regret nodded. Pale yellow flames flared up under his feet, and with a muffled stomping sound, his figure instantly darted forward.


    As verdant trees flashed by, Blaze Regret suddenly sensed something and quickly retreated with a tap of his toe.


    "Whoosh!"


    Spears wreathed in electric arcs shot down violently, nearly grazing Blaze Regret''s body and embedding into the ground. A playful laugh echoed from the sky.


    "Blaze Regret, you really kept me waiting."


    In mid air, an angry thunder eagle about ten meters in size lightly flapped its lightning wreathed wings. On its back, Kartis Miller stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Blaze Regret with a teasing expression, giving off an air of superiority.


    "Unexpectedly, you''re still so despicable." Blaze Regret expressionlessly touched his chest, where a thin layer of blood was covering it. Although the bleeding had stopped, occasional pain still came from there.


    In the main burial chamber, Kartis Miller had attacked once before, and just now, those sharp thunder spears were clearly aimed to kill him. Kartis Miller''s repeated provocations had completely exceeded his tolerance.


    "Hehe, don''t say it so harshly. Although in my eyes, you''re just a small ant, I don''t mind trying a more convenient solution if available," Kartis Miller said with a smile.

    "Roar!" sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A low growl of anger sounded, and Red leapt lightly from Blaze Regret''s shoulder, its body suddenly expanding. Pale yellow flames encircled its body like a fire ring.


    "High level Imperial Grade."


    Kartis Miller''s eyes narrowed slightly, then he chuckled softly. "A bigger ant is still an ant. Hand over the Void realms Stone, then blind yourself, and today''s matter will end here."


    "Do I have a grudge against you?" Blaze Regret''s cold voice carried a hint of concealed anger. From the beginning, he had not provoked Kartis Miller. Yet the latter first attacked him sneakily, and now wanted him to blind himself. Who did he think he was, the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?


    "Hehe, you should feel fortunate. It''s just me here today. If Big Brother Bai Qi knew you were so close to Nor Amelia, things wouldn''t be this simple," Kartis Miller said lightly, as if asking Blaze Regret to blind himself was a kind of mercy.


    "Do you think too highly of yourself!" Blaze Regret''s face suddenly turned cold, and an ice blade appeared in his open hand, then shot towards the angry thunder eagle in the sky, carrying tiny ice shards.


    "Stubborn fool."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s angry voice, a cold glint flashed in Kartis Miller''s eyes as well. He stepped off the angry thunder eagle and swiftly landed on a towering stone peak.


    "Shriek!"


    With a sharp cry, the angry thunder eagle''s figure flickered. Its claws, as hard as metal, shattered the ice blade into pieces. Then, with a sudden flap of its wings, dazzling lightning surged out from its body, forming fist sized thunderballs beneath its wings. The brilliant lightning bolts crackled around the thunderballs.


    As the angry thunder eagle''s wings flapped, the thunderballs shot out, streaking across the sky like dazzling bolts of lightning, enveloping Red in a deluge of thunder.


    With a flick of its tail, Red deflected one of the thunderballs with its tail blade, causing it to explode on a nearby peak, leaving a charred crater and scattering blinding lightning.


    Dodging continuously, Red evaded the exploding thunderballs behind it. With a swipe of its sharp claws, three sharp fire spikes rings shot out, tracing elegant pale yellow arcs in the air, forcing the angry thunder eagle to dodge hastily.


    "Fire spikes rings of the Two Tail Flame Demon Cat, huh."


    Kartis Miller sneered disdainfully. "It''s just a low level spirit technique, no need to embarrass yourself. Angry Thunder eagle, use Fourfold Lightning to shatter those fire spikes rings."


    Hovering in mid air, the Angry thunder eagle''s eyes locked onto Red with a fierce gaze. As its wings flapped, dazzling lightning coalesced into four massive lightning bolts, as thick as pythons, which tore through the air and struck the spinning fire rings.


    "Clang!"


    Sparks flew as the fire spikes rings, under the intense impact of the lightning bolts, embedded themselves into the mountain, their pale yellow glow shimmering along their sharp edges.


    "So tough." Seeing that the fire spikes rings hadn''t shattered, Kartis Miller frowned slightly.


    "Low level spirit technique? Then let me show you what a low level spirit technique tastes like." Blaze Regret smiled, his grin laced with an unmistakable chill.


    Balancing on one claw, Red opened its other claw, and the three fire spikes rings embedded in the mountain peak trembled slightly before shooting out and revolving around its claw, slowly rotating.


    "Hmm?" Kartis Miller''s eyes narrowed slightly.


    With indifferent pale yellow pupils fixed on the Angry thunder eagle in mid air, Red''s sharp claws gave a light shake, causing the three revolving fire spikes rings to merge tightly with a click. A rich yellow arc of light rapidly rotated along with the fire spikes rings.


    Red bit gently, and with a swift motion of its claws, the fire spikes rings shot out with a hum, trailing a pale yellow tail as they slashed towards the Angry thunder eagle. The air in front of them emitted a miserable wail under the terrifying speed.


    "How is this possible!"


    Seeing this scene, Kartis Miller''s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal. He coldly said, "I don''t know what method you used to change the fire spikes rings like this, but your struggle is ultimately futile."


    Facing the incoming fire spikes rings, the Angry thunder eagle''s wings folded slightly. Between its wings, violent lightning surged and quickly formed into a massive lightning spear. As it struck down, it seemed to tear a horrifying rift in the space it passed through.


    "Spirit technique, Sky Splitting Thunder!"


    In just a few breaths, the lightning spear and the fire spikes rings collided fiercely. With a massive thunderous roar, surging energy spread out from mid air, causing the rock surfaces of the surrounding peaks to shatter instantly under the impact.


    With a light step, the Sun Flame Wall spread out. Blaze Regret looked up, his pupils shrinking slightly. Amid the dissipating energy ripples, a massive rotating thunderball floated in front of the Angry thunder eagle, emanating a destructive aura.


    "High level Imperial grade spirit technique." Blaze Regret murmured. From that thunderball, he felt the aura of a high level Imperial grade spirit technique!


    "Blaze Regret, you''re quite something!"


    Standing on the peak, Kartis Miller''s face was rather grim. To deal with a newly advanced Imperial grade Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat, he had to reveal his final trump card, which was an undeniable humiliation.


    And the way to erase this humiliation was to obliterate Blaze Regret and that damn cat together!


    "Shriek!"


    The Angry thunder eagle''s wide wings spread out, and the energy within it crazily poured into the thunderball. In an instant, the thunderball rapidly expanded, shining like a brilliant cannonball, its blinding light outshining the scorching sun in the sky.


    "High level Imperial grade spirit technique, Thunder Cannon!"


    "Advanced Imperial Level Spirit Technique, Thunder Cannon!"


    As Kartis Miller''s shout fell, the massive thunderball in front of the Angry Thunder Eagle shot down violently like a cannonball, accompanied by the hair raising sound of thunder, bombarding towards Red.

 Chapter 211 - 211 Fighting Kartis Miller 3

    Red slightly raised his face, feeling the terrifying destructive power contained in the thunderball. His glass like eyes narrowed gently, and three faint yellow flame streaks spun around his body, with a dazzling spiritual light blooming from the center of his forehead.


    "Boom!"


    The thunderball descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground and enveloping Red''s figure. For a moment, the space seemed to freeze, followed by a thunderous explosion. Blinding lightning shot out in all directions, flickering continuously in the area.


    "Going against me ends like this," Kartis Miller, standing on the mountain peak, revealed a sinister smile. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoo!"


    However, in the next moment, a clear Cat cry came from the flickering lightning. Kartis Miller''s smile froze instantly as he saw a faint yellow figure, trailing smoke, shoot out from the midst of it.


    With a sun like mark shining on his forehead, Red sped up the mountain peak with astonishing speed, as if the explosion just now had no effect on him at all.


    "What kind of monster is this!" Kartis Miller''s face contorted slightly. Even a first tier Advanced Imperial grade spirit beast would perish under the Thunder Cannon, let alone a second tier. But Red had withstood it, giving a severe blow to Kartis Miller''s previously unshakable confidence.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s lips curved into a faint smile. Strengthened by Flame Breath, Red was no weaker than a second tier Advanced Imperial grade spirit beast. Coupled with his Flame Domain, it wasn''t difficult for him to withstand what seemed like a terrifying attack.


    However, some damage was inevitable.


    "Whoo!"


    With a step on the mountain peak, Red darted out like an arrow, clawing at the back of the Angry Thunder Eagle, who had no time to dodge. His figure flashed rapidly, like a faint yellow shadow, weaving around the Angry Thunder Eagle. For a moment, it seemed as if multiple Three Tail Sun Blazing Cats were flickering around the Angry Thunder Eagle.


    Red''s figure spun in mid air before landing on the ground. His paws, covered in some white fur, trembled slightly and finally gave out, causing him to collapse, exhaustion evident in his pale yellow eyes.


    "Haha, so it was just a bluff," Kartis Miller couldn''t help but laugh wildly, seeing the unscathed Angry Thunder Eagle. With Blaze Regret''s strongest spirit beast out of commission, it was now up to him to decide how to finish off the latter.


    In response, Blaze Regret only gave a cold smile.


    Lying on the ground, Red struggled to lift a small paw and clenched it towards the Angry Thunder Eagle in mid air.


    "Swish!"


    With a flash of light, a pale yellow flame crystal pillar suddenly materialized above the Angry Thunder Eagle and, with a sharp whistling sound, pierced through its body. Immediately afterward, several more sharp flame crystal pillars manifested, swiftly and crosswise, embedding themselves into the Angry Thunder Eagle.


    "Screech!"


    Pierced by dozens of flame crystal pillars, the Angry Thunder Eagle let out a heartrending screech that echoed through the sky. It flapped its wings one last time before crashing to the ground like a bird with broken wings.


    "Is this really just a first tier imperial Grade spirit beast..."


    Standing on the mountain peak, Kartis Miller felt his legs tremble. Without thinking, he summoned his second spirit beast, desperate to flee.


    Kartis Miller''s second spirit beast was a Swift Thunder Butterfly, an eighth tier Advanced Warrior Grade spirit beast formed from lightning, known for its incredible speed and serving as his ultimate escape card.


    "If you''re courting death, you should pay a price; running away without consequences is too easy!"


    Just as Kartis Miller opened the second spirit portal, revealing half of the Swift Thunder Butterfly''s body, Blaze Regret''s figure suddenly appeared beside him. With an icy grip, Blaze Regret lightly pressed down on Kartis Miller''s shoulder.


    Feeling the immense force on his shoulder, Kartis Miller''s body felt as if it had plunged into an ancient ice cellar. Though the mountain peak wasn''t high, only a few dozen feet, it was incredibly steep. How on earth did this guy get up here?!


    "Bang!"


    Blaze Regret''s tightly clenched fist slammed into Kartis Miller''s chest. The rapidly drawn spirit portal trembled and then scattered into countless points of light, causing the Swift Thunder Butterfly to naturally retract.


    "You can''t kill me! Do you know who I am? I''m from the Kartis family in the Imperial Center!" Kartis Miller turned his head, roaring ferociously at Blaze Regret.


    "Such a familiar threat..." Blaze Regret sighed internally. Back in Veloria City, someone had taunted him similarly, but unfortunately, that person had been left crippled by him.


    "Bastard, let go of me!" Seeing Blaze Regret''s silence, Kartis Miller assumed the Kartis family''s reputation had worked. A smug smile spread across his face. Even some Spirit Lord level experts had to show him respect upon learning his identity, let alone Blaze Regret, a mere Spirit Imperial.


    "If you hadn''t mentioned you were from the Karis family, I might have spared your life," Blaze Regret sighed again. His eyes turned cold, and pale yellow light surged on his clenched fist, which then descended fiercely under Kartis Miller''s horrified gaze.


    "Are you insane?!" Kartis Miller shouted madly, his eyes filled with disbelief. Why, why did this kid still dare to kill him?


    "Buzz!"


    As Blaze Regret''s fist fell, a ripple of lightning expanded in front of Kartis Miller. At the center of the ripple was a fingernail sized scale, inscribed with incredibly intricate runes.


    Immediately afterward, an elderly face appeared beside Kartis Miller, staring icily at Blaze Regret.


    Who are you to dare kill a member of my Kartis family?" The old man''s chilling voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, making the temperature atop the mountain drop significantly.


    "It''s not that I want to kill members of your Kartis family; it''s that your Kartis family wants to kill me," Blaze Regret said calmly. Although he was startled by the sudden appearance of the elder, he knew it was merely a projection, incapable of displaying even a fraction of its true power.

 Chapter 212 - 212 Fighting Kartis Miller Final

    "Grandfather, save me!" Kartis Miller shouted joyfully, overjoyed at the sight of his savior.


    "Hmph, my grandson has always been gentle and avoids making enemies. Yet you dared to ignore the Kartis family''s dignity and try to kill him. You may escape the death penalty, but you can''t escape punishment. Come to the Kartis family and beg for forgiveness immediately, or I will exterminate your entire clan!" The elder''s voice was filled with an undeniable command.


    "Did you hear that? Hurry up and come with me to the Kartis family to beg for forgiveness," Kartis Miller shouted at Blaze Regret, smugly.


    "Such noise."


    Frowning in displeasure, Blaze Regret loosened his grip, causing Kartis Miller''s body to plummet. He was immediately swallowed whole by a delighted Red Abyss Snake below.


    "Miller''er!"


    Seeing this, the elder''s eyes turned blood red, and a chilling killing intent surged from his pupils. "Boy, I will remember you. If I don''t kill you, I, Kartis Munki, swear I am not a member of the Kartis family!"


    Flicking his finger, Blaze Regret shattered the scale into fragments. He sneered disdainfully. Others might fear the Kartis family, but his future goal was to turn the Kartis family upside down.


    Kartis Munki, wait for me.


    Blaze Regret''s low murmuring voice quietly echoed atop the towering peak.


    In the early morning, warm sunlight fell, mingling with the faint winter fog. Most of the trees in the Hildan Forest had shed their leaves entirely, while the evergreens were covered with a thin layer of frost. Crystal clear ice flowers hung from the branches, sparkling with radiant brilliance. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A large icy wing flapped gently, and a robust branch brushed against the Ice Control Irenix, crashing heavily to the ground. The hard surface dented slightly under the immense force.


    Behind the Ice Control Irenix, a massive tree advanced, its dense roots moving swiftly in pursuit. The tree''s leaves rustled loudly due to its vigorous movement.


    The Giant Tree Leader, typically a high level warrior grade spirit beast, was now chasing the Ice Control Irenix, which had just broken through to the intermediate Warrior grade.


    Sitting on a rock, Blaze Regret lazily overlooked the battle between the Ice Control Irenix and the Giant Tree Leader. He raised his hand and gently rubbed the fluffy head of the Red. The latter was busy stuffing a red fruit into its mouth, making its cheeks bulge.


    "Without opportunities, breaking through is indeed troublesome," Blaze Regret said, lying on the rock and covering his eyes with a leaf. Lately, he had been seeking suitable spirit beasts for the Ice Control Irenix to challenge, aiming to enrich its combat experience and ensure a smooth advancement to the Imperial grade.


    However, the progress was noticeably slower than he had anticipated.


    Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the Hildan Mountain Range.


    A team of shadowy figures walked slowly across an open rocky ground. Each person''s chest bore a dragon symbol, marking them as members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.


    One member glanced warily at the figure ahead, Mon Dark, and quickly looked away, lowering his head. Ever since their leader returned from the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, he had changed drastically, becoming exceptionally violent. Disagreements often led to brutal fights, and more than a dozen group members had already died at his hands.


    "Leader, the habitat of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clan is just ahead," one member cautiously reported to Mon Dark.


    Nodding slightly, Mon Dark strode forward. The ground beside him instantly cracked open, and a Rock Horned Python, composed entirely of stones, emerged segment by segment. Its nearly twenty meter long body was extremely terrifying.


    Seeing Mon Dark enter the habitat of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, the members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group exchanged glances and nodded. They then released their own spirit beasts, which began digging into the ground. Shortly, a deep pit appeared.


    One of the members tossed a cloth bag into the pit. Inside the bag were deep red flowers, emitting a faint fragrance. Though the scent was enticing, the expression on each member''s face was one of disgust. After burying the flowers around the edges of the pit, they quickly retreated as if avoiding some terrible beast.


    "Hiss!"


    A grayish white rock snake flicked its tongue. With a wave of Mon Dark''s hand, the Rock Horned Python darted out, its bloody maw snapping shut on an unsuspecting Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, crushing it instantly.


    Seeing this, the previously slumbering Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros turned their furious gaze towards the Rock Horned Python. They clenched their fists and pounded on its body, the deep, resonant collision echoing across the rocky ground.


    With a sneer, Mon Dark scoffed. Despite the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s strength, they were merely warrior grade. The idea of them harming his fourth tier Rock Horned Python was laughable.


    "Boom!"


    The Rock Horned Python swallowed the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros whole and then whipped its tail, smashing another Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros into pieces, sending a rain of blood into the air.


    Excitedly flicking its tongue, the Rock Horned Python coiled its tail around a silver white horn, bringing it to its mouth. A faint glow began to emanate from the rock horn atop its head.


    "As expected."


    Mon Dark''s eyes glimmered with joy. In the main burial chamber of the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb, he had obtained a treasure called the Radiant Stone Ash, a rare spirit material. When a spirit beast refined it, it could enhance itself by consuming relevant parts of other spirit beasts, thus rapidly breaking through. His first target was the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    The Rock Horned Python''s greatest strength lay in its rock horn. Any spirit beast struck by it at the same level would be grievously injured or killed. If it could be strengthened sufficiently, Mon Dark believed his Rock Horned Python would soon advance to the fifth tier intermediate Imperial grade.


    "Roar!"


    As the third Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros fell, an enraged roar, powerful enough to split stone and metal, echoed from afar, reverberating around Mon Dark''s ears.

 Chapter 213 - 213 Despair

    "Finally here," Mon Dark muttered with a cold smile.


    "Boom!"


    A massive boulder, accompanied by a deep sonic boom, shot forth from the distance. Struck by it, the Rock Horned Python skidded several feet, its enormous body leaving a deep trail in the ground.


    Seeing this, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros herd became excited and quickly turned around, bowing their heads in respect, awaiting the arrival of their leader.


    "Clang!"


    Crushing several rocks underfoot, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros leader landed heavily, its immense weight causing the ground to tremble. Its gaze swept over the blood stained ground, and its expression gradually turned savage.


    "Go!" Mon Dark, mounted on the Rock Horned Python, didn''t hesitate, spitting out the word softly.


    With a fierce lash of its tail, the Rock Horned Python surged forward with a thunderous roar. Behind it, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros leader let out a furious bellow and began its ground shaking pursuit.


    "Rock Scale Rain!"


    Seeing the crimson eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Mon Dark smiled faintly. The Rock Horned Python beneath him raised layer upon layer of scales, which then shot out like a torrential downpour, covering the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Swinging its fists continuously, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shattered the rock scales one by one, glaring fixedly at Mon Dark on the Rock Horned Python. It would not rest until he was torn apart.


    "Quite a persistent creature. But that''s what makes it worthy of forming a spirit pact," Mon Dark chuckled, his gaze towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros filled with fervor.


    "Roar!"


    With an enraged roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists and pounded the ground, sending a wide crack with an invisible shockwave straight towards the Rock Horned Python.


    "It''s about time," Mon Dark whispered softly.


    "Clang!" S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Suddenly, the charging Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s expression changed as the ground beneath it collapsed with a loud bang, plunging it into a deep pit.


    Standing at the edge of the pit, looking down at the furiously roaring Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Mon Dark''s lips curled into a sinister smile.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slightly raised its head, looking at Mon Dark with a cold sneer on his face. In its eyes, there was an unmistakable killing intent. Clenching its fists tightly, it forcefully pounded the soil of the pit, trying to create a tunnel to escape back to the surface.


    "It''s useless," Mon Dark said with a faint smile, shaking his head. He slightly opened his palm, and the soil at the edge of the pit suddenly splashed up, revealing clusters of palm sized, bright red flowers. A faint fragrance enveloped the pit.


    Smelling the fragrance, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros in the pit suddenly narrowed its eyes. Its right fist, carrying immense power, pounded the surrounding mud walls fiercely. With a loud thud, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros'' body involuntarily took a few steps back.


    Letting out a hiss, the Rock Horned Python''s tail, which had dug into the soil, slowly lifted, bringing up some moist winter mud. At the moment the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros fell into the deep pit, it used its spiritual skills to make the surrounding soil harder than rock. Although it couldn''t withstand many blows from the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it could hold up for a while.


    "These flowers are called Spirit Devouring Flowers. I doubt you don''t recognize them. Wherever they grow, the spiritual energy depletes quickly. Without your spiritual power, how much strength can you still muster?"


    Mon Dark twisted his palm, and the bright Spirit Devouring Flowers immediately emitted a deep red light. The spiritual energy in the air thinned at an alarming rate. In the pit, the silver sheen on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros'' hard armor gradually dimmed.


    "Roar!"


    With an angry roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its five fingers into a fist and struck the mud wall fiercely. However, the punch that had previously made the wall tremble now only produced a dull thud, and then all was silent.


    Above the pit, Mon Dark''s lips curved into a faint smile. On his chest was pinned a dark blue petal, which blocked the light from the Spirit Devouring Flowers.


    "Now, are you willing to form a spirit pact with me?"


    Half a moment later, Mon Dark looked down at the extremely weakened Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, smiling as he extended his palm. A faint gray spiritual light swirled around his hand, and he gently pressed it towards the position of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Roar!"


    An angry roar echoed as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros waved its hand, shattering the descending faint gray light into countless light spots.


    "Unwilling, are you? Very well."


    Mon Dark turned around, stepping lightly on the back of the Rock Horned Python. He said softly, "Such a fine treasure as the Glowing Stone Ash shouldn''t be wasted. Today, you must advance to the fifth rank."


    The Rock Horned Python slightly nodded its menacing head. With a slam of its tail on the ground, it swiftly darted away, its twisted body crushing the rocks beneath it into powder.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros struggled to lift its eyelids. With a heavy thud, its body collapsed, and everything went black.


    "Bang!"


    With a sudden sweep of its thick tail, a mist of blood exploded over the rocky ground. Excitement gleamed in the Rock Horned Python''s eyes as it devoured the silver horns one by one.


    Piercing wails echoed ceaselessly above the rocky terrain. The mid tier, fourth rank Imperial grade Rock Horned Python, confronting a group of warrior grade Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceroses, was like a wolf among sheep, leaving blood mists in its wake.


    Seeing the increasingly formidable horn on the Rock Horned Python''s head, Mon Dark''s face revealed a satisfied yet bloodthirsty smile.


    "Swish!"


    Crimson blood flowed on the ground, forming what seemed like a river of blood, with one stream flowing directly into the pit.

 Chapter 214 - 214 Annihilated

    The warm blood trickled over its hard armor, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros twisted in pain, struggling to stand. However, the emptiness of spiritual power within it caused it to tremble and collapse again.


    "Roar!"


    A heart wrenching, agonized roar erupted from the pit, piercing the sky. The surrounding members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group all had changes in their expressions. Even though they knew the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros had lost its ability to resist, many couldn''t help but tremble in fear.


    Lying in the pit, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros gasped heavily, its mouth wide open, but its eyes were devoid of any light, as if all its vitality had been drained.


    "There are still a few more over there. Don''t let them escape," Mon Dark said coldly, standing on the back of the Rock Horned Python as he pointed to the distance.


    "Hiss!"


    Receiving the command, the Rock Horned Python''s tail flicked, darting out like lightning. Its scales, accompanied by the whistling sound of piercing wind, shot through the bodies of the remaining Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceroses.


    After swallowing the last few horns, a blinding light suddenly shone from the Rock Horned Python''s head, and a surge of powerful energy burst forth from its body.


    "Fifth rank!" Mon Dark laughed loudly, his eyes filled with intense madness. It was time for Hildan Town to belong solely to him!


    Jumping down from the Rock Horned Python''s back, Mon Dark quickly walked to the edge of the pit, his face brimming with excitement. He had been eyeing this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros for years, but each attempt had ended in failure. Now, he finally had a ninety percent chance of forcibly forming a spirit contract with it.


    Staring at Mon Dark''s face, which was filled with a deep smile, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros remained motionless, like a rigid statue, allowing Mon Dark''s spirit contract formation to envelop it.


    "Why isn''t it working yet?" Mon Dark withdrew his hand, frowning slightly. Then, he sneered. The more difficult the spirit contract was to form, the higher the potential of this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. In a few more days, once its resistance was completely worn down, the chances of success would further increase.


    "You few, stay here and guard it."


    Casually assigning a few people, Mon Dark turned away indifferently and slowly walked back to Hildan Town. There were some things he could no longer wait to do.


    "Roar!"


    A piercing howl faintly reached Blaze Regret''s ears. Lying on the rock, he slightly opened his eyes and then suddenly sat up, his gaze sweeping toward the eastern side of the mountains in confusion.


    "Did you just hear something?" Blaze Regret asked, gently stroking Red''s little head, somewhat uncertain.


    "Roar!"


    Red, holding a red fruit in its paws, thought for a moment before nodding slightly. It then put down the fruit and started gesturing with its claws to Blaze Regret.


    At this moment, a loud thud echoed as the sharp ice wings of the Ice Control Irenix sliced through the air, leaving a pale blue arc and cutting down the Giant Tree Leader. Around its body, several dazzling ice crystals reappeared, slowly rotating.


    "Finally broke through."


    Blaze Regret exhaled lightly, his face showing a hint of excitement. He smiled and said, "Shall we go and take a look?"


    With a lift of its paws, Red stuffed the entire red fruit into its mouth, its cheeks bulging, and nodded vigorously at Blaze Regret.


    As dusk gradually fell, the mountains were tranquil and peaceful. Several small spirit beasts on the ground gnawed at the berries they were holding. Seeing a figure flash past, they hurriedly darted back into their burrows in fear.


    "What a strong smell of blood."


    Stopping on the branch of a giant tree, Blaze Regret took a light breath of the cold air, his brows slightly furrowed. Ahead, the air was filled with a nauseating odor.


    With a gentle push off with his toes, the branch trembled as Blaze Regret''s figure darted forward again. He didn''t stop until he saw a few blurry figures in his sight.


    "So many people from the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group." Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. As the second spiritual portal opened, the Ice Control Irenix appeared silently, flapping its wings.


    "Their leader spirit beast''s Rock Horn Python is really formidable. Even such a powerful Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros was taken down in one blow." A member of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group leaned against a tree trunk, sighing with envy.


    "Of course. If you advanced to a Imperial grade spirit master, killing spirit beasts of the warrior grade would be just as easy. But I don''t think that''ll ever happen for you." Another spirit hunter said mercilessly.


    "Hehe, the leader is really generous. He only took the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s horn and left all the spirit cores behind. When we sell them in a few days, we''ll have enough money for our drinks for months!"


    In the distance, a spirit hunter walked over with a grin, spreading out a cloth bag. Hundreds of blood stained spirit cores scattered on the ground, their gray white glow containing extremely rich spiritual energy.


    Seeing the pile of blood stained spirit cores, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched. He quickly pushed aside the leaves beside him, and when he saw the dried blood sea on the distant rocky ground, his throat moved slightly.


    "Annihilated..." Blaze Regret''s pupils trembled fiercely. Even with his temperament, he couldn''t help but be a bit shaken. This was an entire tribe, completely wiped out! S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Looking down at the few chatting spirit hunters below, a cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The Ice Control Irenix beside him flapped its wings rapidly, and a bone chilling cold surged out. In an instant, those spirit hunters were turned into ice sculptures.


    Leaping down from the tree trunk, Blaze Regret looked at one of the spirit hunters. Extending his hand, he lightly pressed it against the ice created by the Ice Control Irenix. As a pale yellow flame burned, a terrified face slowly emerged.

 Chapter 215 - 215 Together

    "You... you''re Blaze Regret!" the spirit hunter shouted in horror. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Did your leader do this?" Blaze Regret''s face turned slightly towards the direction of the dried blood sea, his voice cold.


    "Our leader is a fifth level Imperial grade spirit master, don''t think that..." The spirit hunter''s words of intimidation were cut off midway, freezing in his mouth. An uncontrollable fear appeared on his face.


    "Don''t make me ask again." The sharp tip of an ice blade in Blaze Regret''s hand was positioned in front of the spirit hunter''s eyes, his calm voice slowly emanating.


    "Yes..."


    Receiving a definite answer, Blaze Regret turned around. The pale blue ice instantly froze the spirit hunter''s face again.


    "Though I expected the answer, how did the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros leader respond?"


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret''s gaze suddenly fell on a distant spot. There, the ground seemed slightly sunken, with a circle of deep red light around the edge, appearing extremely eerie in the silent night.


    "Devouring Spirit Flowers?" A hint of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and a strange feeling suddenly passed through his heart.


    So that''s how it is...


    With a light sigh in his heart, Blaze Regret picked up a stone from the ground and tossed it directly at the Devouring Spirit Flowers. The immense force caused the delicate flowers to instantly drift away into the distance.


    Devouring Spirit Flowers can consume all spiritual energy, even deconstructing and devouring spirit techniques used by spirit beasts. The only way to deal with them is by using heavy objects to push them far away.


    One by one, stones flew out, shattering the petals and scattering them. Blaze Regret patiently repeated this action until all the Devouring Spirit Flowers were pushed 33 meters away. Only then did he walk to the edge of the pit.


    With the help of the moonlight shining down from the sky, Blaze Regret looked at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lying in the pit, its face ashen. A sudden, indescribable sense of desolation welled up in his heart.


    If the Blaze family were to be destroyed, his fate might not be much different.


    Moreover, all of this had happened right in front of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Opening the Void realms Stone, Blaze Regret took out a pill. With a flick of his finger, the pill was sent flying with a snap, bouncing off the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s mouth.


    Lying in the pit, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s chest rose and fell slightly, but its eyes were extremely blank, as if Blaze Regret above it didn''t exist at all.


    As the leader of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clan, its sole purpose for living was to protect its clan members until the next leader was born. But without its clan members, what kind of leader could it be?


    Using his hands to push himself up forcefully, Blaze Regret sat at the edge of the pit. He took out a few fruits from the void realms Stone, gave one to Red, bit into one himself, and then tossed the rest down into the pit.


    "Once, before I had spirit awareness, my lifelong goal was to become a powerful spirit master, destroy the Snow family, and make the Blaze family control the entire Veloria City," Blaze Regret said, biting into the fruit. His lazy voice slowly echoed.


    "But later, a guy named Kartis Van came to the Blaze family when I gained spiritual awareness. That scumbag wanted to make the Blaze family a vassal to the Kartis family. Do you know what a vassal is? To put it bluntly, it''s a slave. Like a dog, you follow orders without any dignity. Except for those born to be dogs, I don''t think anyone could tolerate such a thing."


    "My father, Blaze Ash, is a man who values his dignity greatly. He would never lay a hand on a junior. So, I stepped forward. At that time, I didn''t have much confidence either, but it was better for me to lose face than to let my father be embarrassed. At worst, I could go to the Kartis family in a few years and take a beating. In my view, there was nothing shameful about that."


    Blaze Regret tossed away the fruit core and lightly clapped his hands.


    "Later, I met Master Magi. Hmm... He is a book, and like you, he is a spirit beast, though a bit special. Under his guidance, I broke through to become a Spirit warrior at an incredible speed. From that moment on, I decided I didn''t want to take that beating. Not only that, but I also wanted to go to the Kartis family and beat Kartis Van in front of everyone in the Kartis family."


    "As for controlling Veloria City, I had long forgotten about that. My future lies in becoming a powerful Spirit king, Spirit sovereign, or even a Spirit Celestical. No, I want to be stronger than a Spirit Celestical."


    The fervent light in his eyes burned for a moment before Blaze Regret shook his head and gave a self mocking smile. Perhaps he never imagined that one day he would say so much to a spirit beast.


    Standing up, Blaze Regret gazed at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros in the pit, whose face was still blank. After a while, he slowly turned around, and a low voice slipped from his mouth.


    "Useless."


    He then collected the Ice Control Irenix into the second spirit portal. Without looking back, Blaze Regret lifted his foot and began walking away.


    "Buzz!"


    Just as Blaze Regret took his first step, a faint silver light array suddenly blossomed from the pit. In the pitch dark night, it was like a splendid silver lotus.


    His body abruptly halted, and a faint smile slowly spread across Blaze Regret''s face.


    Blaze turn around and walking back to the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and stand infront it. Come with me, let destroy the Draconic Spirit hunting group together, said Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 216 - 216 Battling Rock Horn Python

    With his eyes slightly closed, Blaze Regret''s third spirit portal, which was attribute less, swiftly traced in the air ahead. In an instant, grayish silver rocks began to solidify at the edges of the spirit portal, forming what seemed like a vast rocky terrain inside.


    "Boom!"


    A massive figure leaped out of the pit, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros landed heavily on the ground. Its silver armor reflected a magnificent sheen under the moonlight.


    It glanced indifferently at Blaze Regret, then with heavy steps, walked over to the ice sculptures. The members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group trapped within the ice showed faces filled with intense fear.


    "Boom!"


    With a casual punch, countless ice shards flew out with the wind of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist. The bodies of the trapped Draconic Spirit Hunting Group members were instantly shattered into countless pieces under the brutal force of the punch.


    Several more booms echoed as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros looked at the ground covered in ice fragments. A long suppressed roar erupted, and the previously noisy mountain range fell silent under the imposing sound.

    With a slight opening of its palm, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros transformed into a silver streak of light and quickly disappeared into the spirit portal. Blaze Regret looked up at the star filled night sky, his eyes glinting with determination.


    Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, it''s time to settle the score.


    The next day.


    Walking through the bustling small town, Blaze Regret scanned the surroundings and suddenly frowned. Most of the spirit hunters passing by were members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group, with only a few sporadic individuals wearing the insignia of other hunting groups.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Regret murmured doubtfully to himself.


    Walking past several shops, Blaze Regret''s gaze suddenly fixed on a wood element spirit hunter. This hunter had no insignia on his chest, indicating he was a sole hunter and not affiliated with any spirit hunting group.


    Blaze Regret''s black eyes flashed slightly, and as he passed by the hunter, he swiftly reached out and pulled him into a nearby alley.


    "I don''t intend to harm you; I just want to ask some questions. Of course, you have the right not to cooperate," Blaze Regret said calmly, holding an icy blade to the hunter''s throat.


    Fear filled the hunter''s eyes, and without thinking, he hurriedly nodded.


    The young man before him was a spirit Imperial master!


    The gap in their strength left the hunter without even the thought of calling for help. Even if someone were to interfere, they would be no match for a powerful spirit master.


    Blaze Regret lowered the icy blade, and with a twist of his palm, the crystalline blade turned into a cloud of ice mist and gradually dissipated.


    "Can you tell me what exactly has been happening in Hildan Town these past few days? Why are there so many members of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group everywhere?" Blaze Regret asked with a slight frown.


    "Senior, it''s Mon Dark. Ever since he returned from the Hildan Mountains last night, he''s been making harsh demands, forcing all spirit hunters to join the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Anyone who refused was killed on the spot. That''s why things are the way they are now," the spirit hunter said with a bitter smile.


    "Why didn''t you join?" Blaze Regret asked, intrigued as he sized up the man before him.


    "Senior, actually, I''m a member of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group. In Hildan Town, we''re the only ones who have survived Mon Dark''s coercion. However, Mon Dark announced this morning that if our leader doesn''t agree to his demands by evening, he''ll crush our spirit hunting group," the hunter said with a slight hint of defiance rather than fear.


    "That''s strange. Didn''t Mon Dark already have the power to unify Hildan Town before?" Blaze Regret asked, puzzled, raising his eyebrows.


    The number of powerful spirit masters in all of Hildan Town could be counted on one hand. Even with the combined strength of the other spirit masters, they wouldn''t be a match for Mon Dark based on his previous strength. So why did he only reveal his ambitions yesterday?


    "That''s because our leader''s brother is a genuine fourth tier spirit Imperial master. Mon Dark didn''t dare to touch our Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group. When he returns tonight, Mon Dark will naturally find out who really calls the shots in Hildan Town," the spirit hunter said, his face filled with pride.


    "No wonder," Blaze Regret sighed softly, then looked at the spirit hunter before him with some pity. "I''ve got some bad news for you. Mon Dark is now a fifth tier spirit imperial master."


    "Impossible!" The spirit hunter screamed without thinking.


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret walked towards the alley''s entrance. He had gathered all the information he needed. All he had to do now was wait near the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group tonight.


    "Senior, are you really telling the truth?" The spirit hunter hurriedly followed Blaze Regret, his voice filled with urgency.


    "Do I have any reason to lie to you?" Blaze Regret glanced at the spirit hunter beside him, then turned his gaze away and walked out of the alley.


    "He must be lying to me," the spirit hunter shook his head. After a moment of thought, he quickly ran back to the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group.


    ...


    "Rubbish! Where did you get that information? A few days ago, Mon Dark was still a third tier spirit Imperial master. How could he suddenly become a fifth tier spirit Imperial master?"


    An angry voice echoed, and in the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, a middle aged man sitting in a chair slammed his hand on the table. The deep thud caused all the spirit hunters present to lower their heads in fear.


    This man was White Star, the leader of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group. He had just recently broken through to become a spirit Imperial master, which made him confident enough to disregard the once powerful Draconic Spirit Hunting Group.

 Chapter 217 - 217 Battling Rock Horn Python 2

    Moreover, his elder brother White Sun was a genuine fourth tier spirit Imperial master. Together, the two of them could potentially defeat Mon Dark.


    "Leader, everything I said is true. A spirit Imperial master told me personally," the spirit hunter who had spoken with Blaze Regret earlier wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled wryly.


    "A spirit Imperial master? Do you know him?" White Star narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice cold and slow.


    "No, I don''t. But he looked no older than seventeen or eighteen," the spirit hunter replied fearfully.


    "So young? When did Hildan Town produce such a character?" White Star''s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this.


    "It''s Blaze Regret!" said a red clad woman who had been silent until now, standing in front of White Star. "Dad, a lot has happened in Hildan Town while you were in seclusion. I heard that the second and third leaders of the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group were killed by him."


    Hearing this, a trace of seriousness appeared on White Star''s face, but he quickly shook his head with a sneer.


    "From what you said, this Blaze Regret clearly has deep grudges with the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. His words are hardly credible. He might just be trying to deceive us," White Star said confidently.


    "You''re right. My second uncle''s Fiery Ape isn''t to be trifled with. If Mon Dark dares to come, he won''t be leaving," the red clad woman nodded with a light laugh.


    "Boom!"


    Just as the red clad woman finished speaking, a powerful wave of energy surged in, and the main gate of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group shattered with a loud crash. Following that, a fiery shadow shot out and landed heavily on the ground.


    Amid the energy wave, a rock horn python of terrifying length slowly revealed itself. Standing atop its head, hands behind his back, was Mon Dark, with a gentle smile on his face. S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Leader White Star, long time no see."


    Mon Dark''s faint smile echoed in the courtyard. For a moment, everyone in the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group was stunned and didn''t regain their senses for a long time.


    "I wonder if you like this little welcome gift?" Mon Dark gestured with his chin toward the fiery red figure on the ground, smilingly.


    "Fiery Ape!"


    As their gazes fixed on the fiery red figure on the ground, the numerous spirit hunters of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group couldn''t help but swallow, one after another exclaiming in disbelief.


    "Mon Dark, where is my second brother?" White Star stood up abruptly, shouting angrily.


    "I happened to run into him on the way here, so I dealt with him casually," Mon Dark said nonchalantly.


    "You!" White Star''s eyes almost burst with rage, and his hand inside his sleeve trembled slightly with anger.


    "Second Uncle..." The long eyelashes of the woman in red trembled, and a very bad premonition arose in her heart.


    "Rock Horned Python, finish it off."


    As Mon Dark''s indifferent voice fell, the Rock Horned Python flicked its bloodthirsty tongue and coiled its tail, lifting the blood stained body of the Fiery Ape into the air. With a sudden force, a cloud of blood exploded in the sky.


    "Mon Dark, I will kill you!" White Star gritted his teeth fiercely, and in front of his body, a light red magic array rapidly formed, emitting a scorching wave of energy.


    Upon seeing this, Mon Dark merely shook his head with a faint smile. Then, his eyes turned sharp, and an overwhelming pressure enveloped White Star, causing the summoning array he had just drawn to shatter instantly.


    "Fifth level Spirit Imperial Master!" White Star couldn''t help but take a step back, exclaiming in surprise.


    With a indifferent smile, Mon Dark lightly tapped his toes, and countless rock scales began to form around the body of the Rock Horned Python. Each scale shimmered with a sharp, menacing gleam.


    "Stop! From today onwards, our Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group will fully merge into the Spirit Hunting Group!" White Star shouted urgently as he saw Mon Dark about to strike.


    Upon hearing this, everyone in the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group lowered their heads slightly, a trace of sadness flashing in their eyes. Perhaps, this was the only way to save their lives.


    "That''s not enough," Mon Dark shook his head.


    White Star was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, looking somewhat uneasy at the figure on the Rock Horned Python''s back.


    "You should know that my son, Mon Star, was assassinated a few days ago," Mon Dark''s calm voice slowly resonated.


    "That wasn''t me!" White Star quickly said in a panic upon hearing this.


    "I know it wasn''t you, and you wouldn''t have the capability anyway. But my second and third brothers are dead. The Mon family needs an heir," Mon Dark''s eyes shifted, casting a fervent gaze upon the woman in red.


    "Mon Dark, you!"


    White Star''s face changed dramatically. He stepped in front of the woman in red, his voice trembling as he said, "Take anything you want from the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, but not Sunshine."


    "White Star, I''ve already given you a chance. Don''t waste it," Mon Dark''s voice carried a heavy threat.


    A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and the Rock Horned Python''s tail extended like a thick vine, wrapping towards White Sunshine. Seeing this, her pretty face turned pale with fright.


    "Tsk tsk, such a grown man still wanting to have a son, shameless and without any sense of shame."


    Just as the Rock Horned Python''s tail was about to touch White Sunshine, a teasing and sarcastic laugh suddenly came from the courtyard wall.


    Sitting on the high stone wall, Blaze Regret smiled as he looked at Mon Dark below, as if chatting with an old friend.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Seeing the figure on the high wall, Mon Dark was taken aback for a moment, then a sinister smile appeared on his face. "You little brat, should I say you have courage, or are you looking for death? Instead of hiding obediently in the Hildan Mountains, you dare to show up in front of me. Since that''s the case, you can stay in Hildan Town forever."

 Chapter 218 - 218 Battling Rock Horn Python 3

    "Who will win or lose is still uncertain. Mon Dark, let me introduce you to an old friend first."


    With a wave of his hand, a spirit portal shimmering with silver light rapidly formed in the air. The massive body of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slowly stepped out, lifting its face and looking at Mon Dark with intense killing intent in its eyes.


    "Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros!" The smile on Mon Dark''s face suddenly froze, and a flash of rage surged across his face.


    He had paid a high price for that spirit beast, losing at least dozens of lives just to pick those Spirit Devouring Flowers. But in the end, Blaze Regret had picked it up for free!


    "I want you dead!" Mon Dark''s furious roar, filled with killing intent, echoed as he stepped into the courtyard. The Rock Horned Python then charged at Blaze Regret like lightning. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Roar!"


    Sensing the familiar bloody aura from the Rock Horned Python, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros roared, gathering spirit power in its fist, and collided heavily with the tail of the Rock Horned Python.


    "Boom!"


    Invisible shockwaves rippled through the air, and the spirit hunters in the courtyard were uncontrollably blown away. When they barely managed to steady themselves, their faces were filled with shock. If they had been any closer, the residual impact from the clash could have killed them.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros'' fists continuously collided with the Rock Horned Python''s lashing tail, producing deep, muffled sounds that echoed above the courtyard. All the spirit hunters passing by the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group stopped in astonishment.


    When they took advantage of nearby buildings to see what was happening inside the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, their faces were filled with amazement.


    "Rock Horned Python, use your Heavy Rock Tail!"


    Hearing this command, the Rock Horned Python raised its tail, and gray white rocks instantly solidified around it, giving it an extremely heavy appearance from afar.


    "Bang!"


    The rock laden tail was violently smashed down towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. The latter sidestepped and suddenly grabbed the tail, pinning it firmly to the ground.


    "Hiss!" The Rock Horned Python frantically twisted its body, but under the immense strength of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it couldn''t break free.


    With a powerful exertion of its arms, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros roared, and silver light shimmered on its massive palms. Then, it stomped on the ground and, to the amazement of the onlookers, lifted the entire body of the Rock Horned Python into the air.


    "Holy crap!" All the spirit hunters watching were dumbfounded.


    "What incredible strength!" White Sunshine, hiding inside a room, was also wide eyed with shock.


    The Rock Horned Python weighed no less than a small mountain, yet the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros had lifted it entirely. The terrifying strength made everyone''s scalp tingle.


    "Boom!"


    Holding the Rock Horned Python''s head, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros smashed it into the ground with a thunderous impact. The force created ripples that spread out, and wide cracks rapidly extended from around the python''s head. Several high walls collapsed at this moment.


    Dust, like smoke, enveloped the sky above the courtyard of the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group, clearly visible even from a thousand meters away.


    A sharp glint flashed in its eyes as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted the head of the Rock Horned Python. Just as it was about to smash it to the ground again, its pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and it stomped on the ground, quickly retreating.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of the ground breaking echoed. The twenty plus meter long body of the Rock Horned Python spun rapidly, and the rock horn on its head drilled towards the ground like a sharp drill. Its enormous body, almost filling the entire courtyard, instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared from everyone''s sight.


    "Vanished?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly.


    "Boom!"


    In an instant, the ground below the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly shattered. A long, snake like figure shot out from it like lightning, sending the rhinoceros flying into the air. The sharp rock horn aimed directly at the rhinoceros''s abdomen.


    Mid level Imperial spirit skill, Rock Horn Assault!


    Sensing the fierce aura coming from below, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. It stomped on the head of the Rock Horned Python, bringing its palms together. Silver spiritual energy gathered between them, and waves of powerful force ripples spread downward.


    "Boom!"


    The first wave of force ripples struck, causing the body of the Rock Horned Python to tremble involuntarily. The aura on its sharp rock horn weakened significantly.


    "Boom!"


    The second wave of force ripples spread, and a faint trace of blood seeped out from the gray white armor of the Rock Horned Python. Although it was not very noticeable, it still caused Mon Dark''s pupils to contract sharply.


    "It''s the spirit skill, Pulse Shock! Rock Horned Python, shake it off quickly!" Mon Dark shouted loudly.


    Pulse Shock is a spirit skill that only the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros Imperial grade can comprehend. It can continuously release waves of force through the friction of spiritual energy between its palms, directly attacking the enemy''s internal organs and causing damage.


    Moreover, as the friction of the spiritual energy intensifies, the frequency of Pulse Shock will gradually increase, and its attack power will also significantly rise. If the fourth wave of Pulse Shock is released, even the Rock Horned Python would be shaken to death. If the eighth and final wave is released, even a powerful lord level spirit beast would be severely injured.


    Unfortunately, this spirit skill is extremely easy to interrupt, just like the scene before them.


    The Rock Horned Python swung its head, and several sharp rock spikes instantly cut through the air, aiming straight at the most vulnerable part of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s throat.


    With a fierce stomp, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros flew backward, landing heavily on the ground. Then, its tightly clenched fist brought down a powerful gust of wind, striking the ground hard.

 Chapter 219 - 219 Battling Rock Horn Python 4

    "Crack!"


    A massive ravine split open from under the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist, mixed with an invisible shockwave that slammed into the Rock Horned Python''s body. In an instant, the upper body of the latter, which had not yet hit the ground, fell straight toward the building where White Sunshine and others were, crushing half of the magnificent structure.


    Seeing the gray white rocky body in front of them, White Sunshine and the others broke out in a cold sweat. They quickly summoned their spirit beasts and fled from the Flame Star Spirit Hunting Group''s territory.


    At this moment, they couldn''t care less about the building. Staying alive was the best outcome.


    "This power is indeed terrifying." Mon Dark spun his foot on the ground, and a long rock pillar instantly tore through the ground, lifting him into the air. Around the rock pillar, endless light flowed, clearly indicating that this was a rock attribute spirit technique of Mon Dark''s.


    "However, my Rock Horned Python is of a higher rank than the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, and I still have a few cards up my sleeve. As long as I can defeat it and force Blaze Regret to terminate the spirit contract, this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros will be mine." Greed filled Mon Dark''s eyes.


    "Whoosh!"


    Amidst the rising dust, countless rock scales suddenly tore through the air, accompanied by an extremely sharp gust of wind, violently shooting towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Faintly, one could see gray white arcs of energy enveloping the front of the rock scales.


    Looking forward coldly, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros swung its fists, smashing all the incoming rock scales into pieces with a series of cracking sounds. Wrapped in spiritual energy, its massive fists remained completely undamaged.


    "What a powerful wave."


    Standing on the only remaining wall, Blaze Regret gazed at the Rock Horned Python in the dust, his pitch black eyes narrowing slightly.


    As the dust settled, the ferocious head of the Rock Horned Python appeared under countless gazes. Its sharp rock horn emitted a dense gray light, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth surged towards it frantically.


    "Is it a spirit skill?" Blaze Regret sighed softly.


    The current Rock Horned Python was undoubtedly much stronger than when it first entered the Blazing Spirit Tomb. Not only had its rank increased, but the spirit skills it had comprehended were also far more formidable.


    "Rock Debris Mountain Shattering Light!"


    With a low shout from Mon Dark, the sharp rock horn on the Rock Horned Python''s head suddenly doubled in size. Gray white spiritual energy rapidly condensed and then transformed into a light beam several dozen feet long, shooting out abruptly. The violent energy contained within it caused the surrounding air to ripple slightly.


    As the light beam streaked through the air, the rock below shattered even before the beam touched the ground, creating a deep ravine that extended straight towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    Staring at the single horn atop the Rock Horned Python''s head, a trace of guilt flashed in the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes. However, that trace of guilt quickly faded, replaced by an overwhelming killing intent.


    "Roar!"


    A thunderous roar echoed, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists tightly. Silver rocks spread upward with cracking sounds. As the rocks solidified, a faint dragon shaped mark flickered at the forefront of its fists.


    "This is... a reversion to ancestral form?!"


    On top of the towering rock pillar, Mon Dark stared fixedly at the dragon shadow in front of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fists. An uncontrollable fervor surged onto his face, and his pupils trembled slightly with excitement.


    "I must have this Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros!" Mon Dark clenched his fists tightly. Even before discovering this feature, he was determined to obtain this creature. But ever since seeing the dragon shaped mark, its value had skyrocketed a thousandfold in his mind.


    Feeling the immense power transmitted through his fists, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s lips curled into a cold smirk. Then, it knelt on one knee and hammered its tightly clenched fists heavily onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    Under the weight of its heavy fists, the hard rocky ground instantly shattered. Numerous fragments of rock formed a ferocious earth dragon, accompanied by faint dragon roars, crashing solidly into the incoming light beam.

    The collision of the two forces created a tremendous sound wave that filled the faces of the onlooking spirit hunters with intense fear. For a moment, all sound disappeared from their ears, replaced only by the incessant ringing of tinnitus.


    "Boom!"


    The overwhelming gust of wind rampaged over the courtyard, which had already been leveled to the ground, for nearly a minute before gradually subsiding.


    What lay before the eyes was a pitch black ground; as the wind blew, the earth crumbled inch by inch, revealing a terrifyingly massive crater under everyone''s gaze.


    "Hiss!"


    Gazing dumbfoundedly at the utterly ruined courtyard, the sound of people gasping in shock echoed from all directions and lingered for a long time.


    "So, this is the power of an advanced spiritual technique," White Sunshine murmured, lightly covering her mouth with her slender hand, her eyes filled with endless fear. If they had come out just a bit later, everyone would have been obliterated by that impact.


    On either side of the giant crater, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and the Rock horn Python glared at each other from afar, their eyes filled with intense killing intent.


    "It actually withstood it," Mon Dark muttered, his eyes darkening. He was well aware of the destructive power of the Rock Fragmentation Light; even the hardest mountains would be blasted to pieces. Since the Rock horn Python had comprehended this spiritual technique, it was the first time it hadn''t achieved an unstoppable effect.


    "Roar!" Red lay on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, its glassy eyes flickering with an uncontainable heat. Its current strength was significantly inferior to the formidable Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Breaking through was the only way to catch up.

 Chapter 220 - 220 Failed Spirit Master

    "Blaze Regret, I never thought you could tame that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros," Mon Dark said, standing atop a stone pillar, his sinister gaze shifting to Blaze Regret below.


    "If you consider that taming, then I can only say you''re a failed spirit master," Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice spread out. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Blaze Regret''s understanding, spiritual beasts were his second life. Whether it was Red or the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros below, they were equal to his life. The term ''taming'' was an insult to spiritual beasts.


    "Heh, controlling power is true success; everything else is just empty talk," Mon Dark shook his head with a faint smile. "How about we make a deal? If you give me that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, all of Hildan Town will be yours, including these spirit hunters, all at your command."


    Upon hearing this, the surrounding spirit hunters subtly furrowed their brows. No one likes being treated as a commodity for trade.


    Moreover, many among them had been forced to join the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group. Given the chance, they would rather leave Hildan Town and find a new place to train.


    "Calling you a beast is an insult to beasts," Blaze Regret glanced at the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros below and voiced his disgust without holding back.


    "Then there''s nothing more to discuss!" Mon Dark''s face turned livid at Blaze Regret''s words. He wasn''t afraid of Blaze Regret; he had made that offer to avoid the Rock horn Python''s spiritual technique from harming the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "In that case, let''s not hold back. As long as it''s not killed, I have ways to heal it," Mon Dark said with a cold smile.


    At the edge of the giant crater, the Rock horn Python suddenly raised its tail and thrust it into the ground with a thud. Ashen white spiritual power flowed visibly towards its body.


    As the spiritual power poured in, the Rock horn Python''s body became as crystalline and dazzling as jade, emanating an extraordinarily powerful aura.


    "Boom!"


    With a slap of its giant tail on the ground, the Rock horn Python shot into the air and began to spin rapidly. The speed was so intense that it caused the air to whistle sharply. From a distance, the spinning snake body looked like a grey white tornado.


    Ferocious winds swirled around the Rock horn Python, and higher buildings nearby shattered inch by inch before being ground into powder, forming a white halo around the tornado.


    "An advanced Imperial Grade spiritual technique," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed. Only the Rock horn Python''s massive size could create such a cataclysmic scene. However, he had considerable confidence that the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros could withstand this spiritual technique.


    "Roar!"


    With a mighty roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros raised its fist slightly, and silver spiritual power swirled around it wildly, distorting the surrounding air.


    Shattering Fist was the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s most powerful offensive spiritual technique. Legend has it that in ancient times, a powerful Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shattered the very air with this fist, hence the name.


    "It''s over," Mon Dark''s lips curled into a faint smile.


    "Whoosh!"


    After a slight tremor, the tornado formed by the Rock horn Python roared downwards, crashing fiercely towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros on the ground. The howling sound of the windbreaking spread, audible even from a kilometer away.


    "Advanced Imperial grade spiritual technique, Rockburst Mountain Break!"


    Mon Dark''s cold voice rang out as the grey white tornado rapidly approached the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. The latter''s clenched right fist punched out at an extremely slow pace, causing the space ahead to seem faintly fractured.


    Boom!


    When the two forces collided, the ground seemed to tremble. Violent energy waves swept out like tidal waves, engulfing the streets within a thousand meter radius.


    "Buzz! Buzz!"


    Numerous defensive spiritual techniques quickly interwove around the area wind walls, flame shields. Amidst the energy waves, only these spots showed some light.


    Standing atop a high wall, Blaze Regret''s breathing was slightly rapid. Below, the ground had collapsed under the thunderous impact, revealing an astonishing depression. It took a long time for the violent energy waves to gradually subside.


    The scene in the middle of the battlefield slowly became visible to everyone.


    "You must win," White Sunshine clasped her delicate hands together, her voice tinged with a sob. She couldn''t imagine the dreadful fate awaiting her if Mon Dark were to win.


    Similar sentiments echoed in the hearts of many spirit hunters. They weren''t members of the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group. If Blaze Regret could help them break free from its control, they were willing to pay any price.


    Eyes filled with intense hope focused on the battlefield. Soon, all the spirit hunters couldn''t help but widen their eyes.


    On the ground, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s right fist was tightly pressed against the Rock horn Python''s horn. That sharp horn had completely pierced through its right fist, with crimson blood dripping steadily onto the ground.


    The twenty meter long body of the Rock horn Python still hovered in the air, its massive eyes fixated on the silver figure before it.


    "Crack!"


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s right fist trembled, and fine cracks appeared on the Rock horn Python''s head. The cracks quickly spread, covering the entire body of the Rock horn Python in an instant.


    "How can this be!" Mon Dark, half kneeling on a rock pillar, had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he stared below.


    "Smack!"


    With a light wave of its left hand, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros struck the Rock horn Python''s head. Instantly, the latter''s body shattered from the head backward, countless fragments raining down into the giant pit like a rock shower.


    Witnessing this scene, countless cheers of joy erupted from all directions, while the faces of the Draconic Spirit Hunter Group members twitched slightly.


    The powerful Rock horn Python had been killed with a single punch from the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros!

 Chapter 221 - 221

    "We won," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile, clutching his chest to suppress the pain emanating from it.


    Wiping the blood off its right fist, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its head, its indifferent gaze fixed directly on Mon Dark.


    With a brief pause, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous suddenly lunged forward, its tightly clenched right fist smashing into the stone pillar where Mon Dark was standing.


    "Boom!"


    The stone pillar shattered, and Mon Dark''s face showed intense fear. His body fell uncontrollably, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous below grabbed him by the throat.


    Looking into the cold eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous, Mon Dark couldn''t help but shiver. A chill ran through his entire body, and the once powerful aura on his pale face was nowhere to be seen.

    "Mon Dark, did you ever think this day would come when you exterminated the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous clan?" Blaze Regret stood up straight, his calm voice resounding.


    "Heh, my only regret is not getting rid of you, you little bastard, sooner." Knowing that there was no escape today, Mon Dark sneered defiantly.


    Blaze Regret shook his head lightly and leapt down from the high wall. Looking at the excited faces of the spirit hunters, he exhaled softly.


    "Bang!"


    The sound of a head shattering echoed through the Flame Star Spirit Hunters courtyard. After Mon Dark''s terrified scream, there was no more noise.


    "Roar!"


    The triumphant roar of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous, having avenged its great hatred, reverberated through the sky. In the Flame Star Spirit Hunters courtyard, two silver ripples suddenly spread out, causing the onlooking spirit hunters to show envious expressions.


    After slaying Mon Dark, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous broke through, and it wasn''t just a single breakthrough it was a consecutive two tier breakthrough!


    Turning his gaze, Blaze Regret looked at the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous stepping out of the dilapidated courtyard. His face showed no surprise. Battle has always been the most solid way to enhance one''s strength, especially when it''s a challenging cross tier battle.


    The cold, indifferent eyes glanced at Blaze Regret. The silver armor on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous shimmered under the moonlight with a fierce glow, containing a powerful, restrained force.


    "Are you satisfied?" Blaze Regret asked the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous slowly.


    Ignoring Blaze Regret, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous scanned its surroundings. After a moment, it suddenly dashed out, charging towards the terrified members of the Draconic Spirit Hunters group, all of whom had participated in yesterday''s events.


    As the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous''s fists swung, bursts of blood mist exploded on the street. Many spirit hunters quickly removed their emblems from their chests. Once they saw the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous stop after killing a few, they quietly breathed a sigh of relief.


    "Come back."


    Blaze Regret summoned the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous back into the third spiritual portal, muttering somewhat helplessly, "Do you have to be so cold? After all, I am your spirit master."


    Shaking his head, Blaze Regret looked around and slowly spoke with a cold voice, "From now on, there will be no mention of Draconic Spirit Hunting group in Hildan Town."


    Hearing this, many spirit hunters cast grateful looks at Blaze Regret, and White Sunshine''s beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.


    "Too bad he''s a bit too young," White Sunshine murmured softly.


    "What did you say?" White Star asked, puzzled, as he looked at White Sunshine.


    "I said, the headquarters of the Draconic Spirit Hunters must be destroyed; otherwise, they might rise again," White Sunshine replied, her face blushing slightly but with a serious tone.


    Hearing this, all the surrounding spirit hunters nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with sharp killing intent directed at the Draconic Spirit Hunters.


    "I wonder how much treasure that old guy Mon Dark has accumulated over the years," Blaze Regret mused, gently stroking the soft fur of the red flame beside him. The second spiritual portal, a light blue one, rapidly formed in the air.


    In front of the Draconic Spirit Hunters courtyard.


    "Hehe, the captain went to the Flame Star Spirit Hunters. White Star''s daughter is really quite the beauty, but being able to marry our captain would be her good fortune," a spirit hunter said, leaning against the courtyard gate with a lewd smile on his face.


    "Isn''t it said that White Star''s brother is a fourth rank Imperial grade spirit master? It might not be so easy to get his hands on her," another spirit hunter said hesitantly.


    "A fourth rank Imperial Grade spirit master is nothing. If that guy''s Fiery Ape can withstand even one move from the captain''s Rock Horned Python, it would already be impressive," the first spirit hunter retorted disdainfully.


    If it were a fourth rank Imperial Grade spirit master with wood or water attributes, they might be able to put up a fight against the Rock Horned Python. But with fire attributes being suppressed by rock attributes, the Fiery Ape would be nothing but a plaything in front of the Rock Horned Python.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the Ice Control Irenix retracted its wide icy wings, Blaze Regret leaped down from it. The few spirit hunters who had been chatting immediately tensed up, but when they saw Blaze Regret''s youthful face, a mocking expression flashed in their eyes.


    Not all members of the Draconic Spirit Hunters had experienced the siege against Blaze Regret. Those who had just joined had little understanding of the situation, which was why they were assigned to guard the gate.


    "Who are you looking for?" one spirit hunter asked, glaring at Blaze Regret.


    "Move aside," Blaze Regret said coldly.


    "Oh, quite the temper you have there. Could it be that you''re our captain''s illegitimate son? Haha, you''re here to see our captain, aren''t you? Well, you can go in, but first, kneel here for a while. Maybe our captain will take pity on you and grant you an audience," the spirit hunter said mockingly, looking Blaze Regret up and down with a superior air.

 Chapter 222 - 222 The Treasure Vault

    "An audience?" Blaze Regret smirked. This Mon Dark really saw himself as some kind of local emperor.


    Seeing Blaze Regret standing still, the spirit hunters burst into raucous laughter, evidently considering Blaze Regret a rare source of entertainment in their otherwise dull guard duty.


    With cold, indifferent eyes, Blaze Regret''s body moved suddenly. His palm, covered in pale yellow flames, forcefully pressed the head of the spirit hunter who had just spoken into the ground.


    Witnessing this scene, the smiles on the faces of the laughing spirit hunters froze instantly.


    Blaze Regret casually clapped his hands, not even glancing around, and walked straight into the courtyard. The remaining spirit hunters, trembling with fear, felt their legs go weak and did not dare to stop him.


    "SSpirit Imperial Master..." one of the spirit hunters finally stammered after a long silence.


    "That''s Blaze Regret! Quickly inform the captain!" another spirit hunter, finally remembering Blaze Regret''s identity, hurriedly took out a communication conch. Since the death of Mon Star, the Draconic Spirit Hunters no longer had any other Imperial grade spirit masters. Facing Blaze Regret, they had no outcome other than being instantly killed.


    "Yes, once the captain returns, he will surely die!" a harsh voice echoed faintly at the front of the courtyard.


    "Wait, why are there so many people up ahead?" one of the spirit hunters muttered as he noticed the rolling dust clouds in the distance. Before he could finish his sentence, countless attacks rained down, piercing their bodies with thousands of holes in an instant.


    "Rebellion..." a spirit hunter standing atop a tall building looked at the crowd surging like a human tide, his face filled with terror. An ominous feeling pervaded his heart.


    The treasure vault of the Draconic Spirit Hunters was located beneath the main hall. Blaze Regret easily made his way to the front of the vault door after interrogating a random spirit hunter.


    "Break it open," Blaze Regret said lightly as he looked at the iron forged door ahead.


    Clenching his fist tightly, a silver sheen flowed over it. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stomped forward, its massive iron fist carrying a violent force that smashed through the door with a loud crash.


    After a few more punches, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros gave the door a gentle push, causing the tattered door to fall backward.


    "Damn!"


    As the dust settled, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but curse at the sight inside the vault. Piles of gold coins, resembling small mountains, filled the entire vault. A rough estimate put the number at no less than a million!


    Swallowing lightly, Blaze Regret stepped inside without a second thought and quickly opened his void Realm Stone, stuffing all the gold coins into it.


    With the gold coins gone, the once crowded vault became spacious, leaving only a few wooden shelves placed in the corners.


    "What a waste," Blaze Regret muttered as he walked to the wooden shelves. Seeing a few dried spirit herbs, he frowned slightly. Apart from the gold coins, it seemed like Mon Dark didn''t have much else of value.


    "Ding!"


    At that moment, a crisp sound rang from Blaze Regret''s second spiritual portal. The usually calm Ice Control Irenix suddenly became restless.


    Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Blaze Regret waved his hand, and the Ice Control Irenix appeared, emitting a chilly aura that swirled around the vault.


    As soon as it appeared, the Ice Control Irenix flapped its crystalline wings and flew to a withered spirit herb. A beautiful ice lotus quickly emerged beneath it.


    "Hmm?" A trace of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. This ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Sage and had been lurking in his spiritual portal. Apart from unintentionally saving him once before, it had remained inactive. Now, it had reappeared on its own.


    The ice lotus slowly rotated, and the withered spirit herbs on the wooden shelf rapidly disintegrated, turning into a thin icy mist that flowed into the ice lotus, leaving only some residue scattered on the ground.


    "Buzz!"


    After absorbing the essence of those spirit herbs, the petals of the ice lotus seemed to tremble slightly, showing faint signs of blooming. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered. In the Ice Crystal Cave, Master Magi had mentioned that this ice lotus could be used by the Ice Control Irenix to help it break through, but it had not yet matured.


    "Could it be that it needs some kind of catalyst?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he picked up the residue on the ground and sniffed it lightly.


    "So it''s Ice Bamboo Flower," Blaze Regret said with a smile of delight on his face.


    Flicking the residue of the Ice Bamboo Flower from his hand, Blaze Regret did not hesitate and quickly looted the entire vault. Besides the gold coins, the vault contained mostly healing pills, which were something he was in dire need of.


    Stepping out of the vault with large strides, Blaze Regret smelled the scent of blood in the air and shook his head slightly. The tables had turned; the Draconic Spirit Hunters had once been arrogant and ruthless, killing other spirit hunters at will. Now, they were finally getting their comeuppance.


    Lying on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret was carried into the sky, streaking like a pale blue beam of light towards the shops in Hildan Town.


    The Ice Bamboo Flower got its name because it only grew in the habitats of a spirit beast known as the Ice Bamboo Spirit. These spirit beasts were extremely fond of a substance called Ice Condensation Dew, which experienced spirit hunters used to lure them away, allowing them to harvest the Ice Bamboo Flowers extensively.


    However, the price of Ice Condensation Dew is extremely expensive, usually costing tens of thousands of gold coins per bottle. But now that Blaze Regret was flush with cash, he didn''t care much and bought several bottles. Then, along with Red, he headed out of Hildan Town.

 Chapter 223 - 223 Bamboo Spirit

    "It''s time to go to Bloodstone Pass." Blaze Regret grinned as he looked at the marker on the map.


    Back then, when he had just left Veloria City, he was merely a lowly spirit warrior grade. In the blink of an eye, those spirit imperial masters who once seemed so powerful to him now appeared relatively insignificant.


    "According to Master Magi, that Mystical beast should still be slumbering in the Black Abyss. So, I''ll set my training for the next period at Bloodstone Pass."


    With those whispered words, Blaze Regret''s figure flickered and quickly disappeared into the dark night.


    Bloodstone Pass, unlike Veloria City, is a gathering place built by spirit master. The spirit masters there are all ruthless and lawless, even more so than the spirit hunters of Hildan Town.


    Yet, despite or perhaps because of this reputation, many prominent families favor Bloodstone Pass. Spirit masters there are very generous, and their goods sell even better than those in the towns.


    In the silent forest, cold winds howled as Blaze Regret walked slowly, clutching his black robe. Three spirit beasts of varying sizes surrounded him, their eyes vigilant, scanning their surroundings.


    Even while traveling, Blaze Regret didn''t let his three spirit beasts stop their training. To him, not a single moment could be wasted.


    He lifted his face slightly, and in the pale blue sky, it seemed there was a cold, beautiful face. Blaze Regret smiled faintly and shook his head; at some point, his goal of becoming stronger had gained an additional purpose.


    "Whoosh!"


    A low growl sounded as Red''s ears twitched, excitedly staring to the right. Moments later, a spirit beast surrounded by lightning suddenly lunged toward them, its cold eyes fixated on Blaze Regret.


    "Smack!"


    Just as Red was about to confront it, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly turned its head. With a massive palm accompanied by a whistling wind, it slammed the spirit beast heavily against a tree. The latter twitched once and then fell still.


    Seeing this, Red pouted in discontent.


    Blaze Regret took the lightning attribute spirit core handed over by the Ice Control Irenix and casually placed it into the Void Realm Stone. Then, the four figures continued their journey through the forest.


    This scene persisted for nearly a month. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    During this time, Red, who had the help of Black flame Mud for training, undoubtedly made the most progress, advancing by one level. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros also seemed to be on the verge of reaching the sixth level. Only the Ice Control Irenix remained at the same level.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly and gently patted the Ice Control Irenix''s small head.


    The Ice Control Irenix, a spirit beast that can only train by absorbing pure ice energy, requires either the refinement of rare treasures or the slow absorption of ice attribute spiritual energy from the air to advance.


    It''s only someone like Blaze Regret who could afford to raise such a unique spirit beast; most spirit masters wouldn''t be able to manage it.


    "Another half day''s journey and we''ll reach Bloodstone Pass," Blaze Regret sighed as he looked ahead.


    After traveling for so many days without finding the Ice Bamboo Essence group, it seemed he would have to spend a considerable amount of money to purchase it once they reached Bloodstone Pass.


    "Clink!"


    The Ice Control Irenix, which had been in a dazed state, suddenly became excited. Its crystalline wings gently flapped, and a cold wind whipped across Blaze Regret''s face.


    "Found something?"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with joy. The only thing that could excite the Ice Control Irenix so much would be the Ice Bamboo Flower!


    "Don''t move, it''ll be over soon."


    Blaze Regret applied the cool and refreshing Ice Condensation Dew all over Red''s soft fur, grinning awkwardly as Red showed a face of disdain.


    Red shook its fur and, without even giving Blaze Regret a glance, darted straight towards the Bamboo Spirit''s gathering place, looking like a pale yellow streak of light, clearly in a huff.


    To lure all the Bamboo Spirits away, Blaze Regret had come up with this idea. Last time, when he was picking Lava Fruits, he had Red take the lead. Now, he was just repeating the strategy, though the temperature of the Ice Condensation Dew was indeed a bit hard to bear.


    Dashing into the Bamboo Spirit colony, Red vigorously shook its tail, spreading the scent of the Ice Condensation Dew as much as possible. Instantly, all the Bamboo Spirits rooted in the soil pulled up their roots and rushed towards it all at once.


    Running wildly ahead, Red let out a cry. Hearing this sound, Blaze Regret felt relieved and walked into the Bamboo Spirits'' territory.


    "Why are there still little ones here!"


    Seeing the tiny beasts blinking naively on the ground like bamboo shoots, Blaze Regret''s face changed. Bamboo Spirits, as spirit beasts, were naturally of low Imperial level. Once surrounded by them, it would be extremely troublesome, which is why most spirit hunters preferred not to provoke them.


    Without thinking, Blaze Regret took another bottle of Ice Condensation Dew from his void realms stone and carefully dripped it into the mouths of the Bamboo Spirit cubs. They smacked their lips, showing satisfied expressions, and then closed their eyes as if falling asleep.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Although these Bamboo Spirit cubs weren''t a threat to him, he wasn''t as ruthless as Mon Dark and couldn''t bring himself to kill harmless spirit beasts.


    Standing up, Blaze Regret glanced around and then smiled in relief. On a long vine, several pale blue Ice Bamboo Flowers were blooming, surrounded by thin icy mist, looking extremely beautiful.


    With a slight effort, Blaze Regret easily plucked an Ice Bamboo Flower, which then turned into a rich cold mist and entered his second spirit portal, where it was absorbed by the Ice Lotus within.


    After absorbing the essence of the Ice Bamboo Flower, the Ice Lotus instantly became crystal clear. Beside it, the Ice Control Irenix flapped its large icy wings in excitement.

 Chapter 224 - 224 Combine

    Unlike the Lava Fruit, the Ice Bamboo Flower was of no use to the Bamboo Spirits. It was merely an accompanying spirit herb, so the Ice Bamboo Flowers on this vine were extremely well preserved.


    In the blink of an eye, most of the Ice Bamboo Flowers on the vine were picked. Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. In the distance, a few figures seemed to be moving, and their direction was precisely towards the Bamboo Spirit colony.


    "Brother Nan, are you sure this is okay? The Bamboo Spirits are imperial grade spirit beasts. If they hurt us, it''s not just a matter of losing some skin," a voice filled with deep anxiety said, sounding extremely fearful.


    "Don''t worry. Even though they are Imperial Grade spirit beasts, they''re pretty dumb and not very aggressive. Just take this bottle of Ice Condensation Dew and run far away," another voice replied.


    As they spoke, several figures appeared at the edge of the Bamboo Spirit colony. When they parted the leaves and saw the empty rock ground, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.


    "Brother Nan, there''s someone there!" A relatively plump young man pointed in Blaze Regret''s direction, exclaiming in shock.


    "It seems someone got here first. But we worked hard for the intel on the Ice Bamboo Flowers, so we can''t just give up. Besides, he looks young, probably no more than a fourth tier spirit warrior. With my seventh tier spirit warrior strength, he poses no threat," the young man addressed as Brother Nan stood up abruptly, his face darkening as he walked towards Blaze Regret.


    "Hey, do you know this area belongs to someone?" The young man stared at Blaze Regret, speaking coldly.


    Blaze Regret glanced at him indifferently, then returned his focus to picking the Ice Bamboo Flowers, showing no indication of paying attention to him. This dismissive attitude cast a shadow over the young man''s face.


    "Kid, don''t be too arrogant. I''m from the Jack family of Bloodstone Pass," the young man said menacingly.


    "Oh? You''re Jack Nan? The one who got beaten up by the Blood Mark Sect''s young master two years ago?" Blaze Regret turned his head in surprise, but his words instantly ignited a look of rage on Jack Nan''s face.


    The Blaze family had numerous interactions with Bloodstone Pass, and Blaze Regret had been familiar with several major forces there since childhood. The Jack family in Bloodstone Pass was barely considered a small family, with strength only slightly superior to the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group. Such strength was insignificant to the current Blaze Regret.


    Glaring intently at the young man''s face, Jack Nan''s fists clenched tightly. Two years ago, he was publicly beaten by He Nan, the young master of the Blood Mark Sect, for harassing one of their members, and was ordered never to set foot in the central area of Bloodstone Pass again. This incident had always been a sore spot for him.


    Due to the Jack family''s influence, few in Bloodstone Pass dared to mention this matter, so Blaze Regret''s words undoubtedly reopened Jack Nan''s old wounds.


    "I don''t know who you are, but this area belongs to the Jack family. It''s outrageous for you to come and steal things silently," Jack Nan said with a sinister tone.


    "I only know that this is the territory of the Ice Bamboo Spirits," Blaze Regret scoffed. Not to mention the Jack family, even the Blood Mark Sect wouldn''t dare claim this area, given the sheer number of Ice Bamboo Spirits that would make even a high level spirit master shudder.


    "Heh, stealing and still arguing about it. You''re the most shameless person I''ve ever met. You say this is the territory of the Ice Bamboo Spirits? Then where are they?" Jack Nan retorted, looking dismissively at Blaze Regret.


    "Yeah, where are the Ice Bamboo Spirits?" echoed the other Jack family members who had followed Jack Nan. They swarmed forward, hurling all sorts of accusations, as if Blaze Regret had really stolen from them.


    "Clowns," Blaze Regret said coldly, then turned his head. With a stomp, he unleashed a powerful aura, the kind only a spirit Imperial master possessed, enveloping Jack Nan and the others without reservation.


    "Sp... Spirit Imperial Master!" Feeling the pressure, Jack Nan''s expression changed dramatically, his body freezing like a statue. The others behind him trembled violently.


    "Leave," Blaze Regret said, absorbing the last Ice Bamboo Flower into his second spirit portal. His voice carried no emotion, and Jack Nan and his companions, feeling as if pardoned, fled without looking back, faster than rabbits escaping wolves.


    Shaking his head slightly, Blaze Regret felt a hint of disdain. These family heirs were truly spoiled. If thrown into Hildan Town, they wouldn''t survive a day.


    In the distance, a pale yellow figure dashed over, and Red, with a face full of resentment, jumped into Blaze Regret''s arms, burrowing into his clothes.


    Feeling the cool sensation on his chest, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth and swiftly left the Ice Bamboo Spirit colony. Meanwhile, the Ice Lotus in his second spirit portal began to bloom after refining the last trace of the Ice Bamboo Flower''s spiritual power.


    Sitting cross legged on the ground, Blaze Regret''s eyes were slightly closed. In front of him, a crystalline ice lotus slowly rotated, its blooming petals shimmering with a pale blue glow. Above the ice lotus, the Ice control Irenix folded its wings, and a cold aura rose from the ice lotus, swirling around it like a halo.


    "Combine!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly opened, and he formed a seal with his hands. The petals of the ice lotus began to close inward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the Ice control Irenix''s body was enveloped within the petals. The closing ice lotus resembled a pale blue bud, carrying the Ice control Irenix as it returned to Blaze Regret''s second spiritual portal.

 Chapter 225 - 225 Meeting Again

    Wiping the sweat from his face, Blaze Regret stood up and let out a slight sigh of relief. To perfectly merge the Ice control Irenix with the ice lotus, almost all the spiritual power in his second spiritual portal had been drained, a consumption that even he found hard to sustain.


    "Hey, you can come out now," Blaze Regret said with a mix of helplessness and amusement.


    Parting the black robe on Blaze Regret''s chest, Red''s little head popped out, its furry little ears twitching, and it looked at Blaze Regret with a threatening expression. Its sharp claws shot out with a swish.


    "I promise, if this happens again, I''ll smear freezing dew on myself, and you can go snatch things," Blaze Regret quickly swore, as if fearing Red might swipe at him.


    Seeing this, Red nodded in satisfaction and then exerted a little force with its paws, sitting down on Blaze Regret''s shoulder.


    ...


    Bloodstone Pass, as a gathering place for numerous cultivators, had a higher flow of people than even Velorian City.


    Looking at the signboard, which seemed to be drenched in blood, Blaze Regret''s eyes showed a trace of complex emotions. Many members of the Blaze family often transported goods to Bloodstone Pass. He wondered if there was a possibility of encountering them here.


    However, Bloodstone Pass was terrifyingly large, even larger than three Velorian Cities combined. The possibility of such an encounter was evidently extremely slim.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret shook his head and walked into Bloodstone Pass. The overwhelming cacophony of merchants hawking their goods made him feel as though he had stepped into another world. Life in the Hildan Mountains had almost made him forget the bustling prosperity a town should have.


    After walking for a while, Red, perched on his shoulder, suddenly tugged at Blaze Regret''s hair. Its little paw kept pointing toward the signboard of a distant restaurant, and drool was nearly dripping from its mouth.


    "All you think about is eating," Blaze Regret said with a smile, flicking Red''s head. After thinking for a moment, he stepped into the restaurant.


    To get a general understanding of a place, restaurants and tea houses are usually the best options.


    When Blaze Regret entered, the waiter didn''t hesitate and promptly handed him a menu. Blaze Regret smiled, took it, and gently placed it on the table.


    Wiping the drool from its mouth, Red''s eyes sparkled as it pointed wildly at the menu, selecting only meat dishes made from high level spiritual beasts. Its enthusiasm caused the waiter''s eye to twitch slightly.


    Although all the items were dishes, their prices varied greatly. The ones Red had just selected each cost thousands of gold coins, an amount an average person could never afford.


    "Is that all?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile when Red finally stopped.


    Red nodded and flicked its tail, causing the menu to land in the stunned waiter''s hand with a light whoosh.


    Accepting the gold coin card Blaze Regret handed over, the waiter''s face immediately lit up with a sycophantic smile as he hurried toward the counter.


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret took out a thick ancient book from his void realms stone and began to read it slowly. Ever since Master Magi had fallen into a deep sleep, some matters had to be handled by Blaze Regret himself.


    "Ten Thousand Spirits Art..." Blaze Regret read the title word by word, then immediately turned to the page without a second thought.


    As his eyes moved down the page, a look of astonishment gradually appeared on Blaze Regret''s face.


    It turns out that the most powerful aspect of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art isn''t just that it allows the spirit portal to accommodate spirit beasts of different attributes, but that it can actually increase the number of spirit Portals!


    Swallowing discreetly, Blaze Regret''s eyes scanned his surroundings with his peripheral vision. After confirming that no one had noticed his reaction, he felt relieved and continued reading the ancient book.


    "So, I''m not the first person to practice the Ten Thousand Spirits Art. The previous master of this art managed to open fifteen spirit Portals, which means he could battle with fifteen spirit beasts simultaneously!"


    Just imagining that number made Blaze Regret''s head spin. Such an existence was beyond his current comprehension.


    The greatest advantage of a practitioner of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art is the ability to become a multi source spirit master, capable of fighting multiple opponents at once. Increasing the number of spirit Portals would undoubtedly amplify this advantage. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "If the first practitioner of the Ten Thousand Spirits Art had fifteen spirit Portals, then his reputation on the Spirit Beast Continent must have been extremely prominent."


    With a snap, Blaze Regret closed the ancient book. A flicker of excitement flashed in his eyes as a blueprint of the future began to take shape in his mind. Just the thought of commanding a horde of spirit beasts with a wave of his hand made his blood boil with excitement.


    "However, opening new spirit Portals is extremely difficult. Each time requires the assistance of special pills, and for the first spirit Portal, one must refine a pill called the Heart Pill. Moreover, the minimum requirement is to be a seventh rank spirit Imperial master."


    Blaze Regret''s mind raced, and his hand inside his sleeve trembled slightly with excitement. He seemed to understand why Master Magi had given him the Medicine Emperor Seed and practicing the Ten Thousand Spirits Art required exceptional alchemy skills as support!


    "The Heart Pill is a third grade pill. I wonder if I can successfully refine it now," Blaze Regret mused, licking his lips. He had never given up on studying alchemy even in the Hildan Mountains, but he had never attempted a third grade pill before.


    "Just my luck, running into a spirit Imperial master as soon as I left Bloodstone Pass."


    The sound of a chair scraping against the floor and a venomous voice suddenly reached Blaze Regret''s ears. He furrowed his brows slightly and looked up, only to see Jack Nan and his companions approaching.

 Chapter 226 - 226 Finding Trouble

    Their eyes met, and Jack Nan hesitated for a moment before a sinister smile slowly spread across his face.


    "Looks like today isn''t so unlucky after all."


    Jack Nan gave Blaze Regret a sinister smile before turning his head and beckoning to the waiter, "An Tut, come here."


    Upon hearing this, the waiter hurried over, his eyes filled with respect as he looked at Jack Nan.


    With his arm around the waiter''s neck, Jack Nan whispered something into his ear, his expression betraying an unmistakable slyness.


    Catching snippets of their conversation, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. What terrible luck, this inn turned out to be a property of the Jack family. No wonder Jack Nan wore a cat and mouse expression the moment he saw him.


    After a brief hesitation, the waiter nodded repeatedly and quickly made his way to the kitchen.


    "Friend, since you''re on Jack family territory, let me give you a proper welcome," Jack Nan said, his voice dripping with sarcasm and echoing through the inn.


    Hearing this, the other guests in the inn turned their heads, casting sympathetic glances at Blaze Regret.


    With their extensive experience, they instantly grasped the situation.


    This young man had the misfortune of offending Jack Nan. He was in for a rough time.


    Blaze Regret ignored the numerous glances cast his way, gently stroking the fur of Red, who lay lazily on the table, humming contentedly.


    "A grown man raising a pet like a girl," Jack Nan sneered, and the Jack family members sitting with him burst into laughter. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Looking for a beating again?" Blaze Regret lifted his face and looked at the provocatively grinning Jack Nan, speaking playfully.


    Jack Nan''s face immediately turned ugly at these words. The guests around turned red, stifling their laughter. Every person in Bloodstone Pass knew of the young master Jack''s embarrassing incidents.


    "You just wait and see," Jack Nan pressed his fist against the table hard, thinking angrily.


    "Sir, your dishes are here."


    At this moment, the waiter brought a few plates and placed them in front of Blaze Regret. Red, eager to pounce on the food, extended a paw but stopped mid air.


    What should have been all meat dishes had turned into a mess of wild vegetables, with not a speck of meat in sight; only the humblest servants would normally eat such things.


    "Oh, so the strong prefer eating this stuff, what fine taste," Jack Nan laughed heartily, his voice filled with the pleasure of revenge.


    The surrounding guests became excited, watching the unfolding drama with keen interest.


    "You''re playing with fire," Blaze Regret said, applying slight pressure to the wooden chopsticks in his hand, snapping them in two. His calm voice now carried a hint of coldness.


    "What are you talking about? I don''t understand," Jack Nan spread his hands, feigning innocence.


    Blaze Regret propped a hand on the table and stood up, slowly walking towards Jack Nan, a pale yellow flame gradually spreading from his palm.


    "Uncle, someone is causing trouble!" Jack Nan shouted in panic.


    Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly and moved. His flame covered hand, carrying a scorching force, mercilessly reached for Jack Nan''s throat.


    "Young man, causing trouble on my Jack family''s turf are you not taking us seriously?"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s hand was about to land on Jack Nan, a chilling aura suddenly enveloped the area. An icy hand tore through the air, grabbing Blaze Regret''s wrist tightly.


    The one who grabbed Blaze Regret''s wrist was a middle aged man, whose features bore some resemblance to Jack Nan. This man was Jack Bun, a third tier spirit imperial master with a notable reputation on the outskirts of Bloodstone Pass.


    "Are you the owner of this inn?" Blaze Regret glanced over and asked calmly.


    "Indeed, I am. May I ask why you attacked someone? Are you intentionally causing trouble?" Jack Bun immediately pinned the blame on Blaze Regret, shifting all responsibility onto him.


    "Heh, causing trouble? Far from it. I ordered a full table of meat dishes, costing nearly ten thousand gold coins. And what was served?" Blaze Regret shook his arm slightly, retrieving his hand without a trace, and spoke coldly.


    Upon hearing this, the faces of the inn''s guests changed, and they looked at Blaze Regret with newfound curiosity. Spending nearly ten thousand gold coins on a meal what kind of wealth did this require?


    "Are you joking? You, affording such an exorbitant price?" Jack Nan boasted from behind Jack Bun.


    "An Tut, bring this customer''s gold card," Jack Bun said, beckoning someone behind him without changing his expression.


    Responding promptly, the waiter hurriedly brought a gold card and handed it to Jack Bun with both hands.


    "Hmph!"


    After a brief spiritual scan, Jack Bun snorted coldly. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed the gold card to the ground near Blaze Regret''s feet, causing the guests in the inn to pause in surprise.


    "This gold card has less than a hundred gold coins. Are you trying to make a fool of me?" Jack Bun''s slightly icy voice echoed through the inn.


    "Indeed, birds of a feather flock together."


    Blaze Regret shook his head and sneered, "The gold card I have isn''t this one. Mine has a Hildan mark on the lower right corner. Boss Jack, would you kindly bring over the gold cards from the counter for verification?"


    After taking down Mon Dark, Blaze Regret found at least three gold cards in his void realms stone, all bearing the unique mark of the Hildan Hunters, which couldn''t be erased.


    Jack Bun''s expression shifted slightly. He hadn''t expected Blaze Regret to be so cunning. If what he said was true, the reputation of this inn would plummet.


    "You think you can just order us around? Who do you think you are?" Jack Nan glared icily at Blaze Regret. With Jack Bun, a third tier spirit Imperial master, present, he felt emboldened and didn''t take Blaze Regret seriously at all.


    Hearing this, Jack Bun nodded, maintaining an official demeanor.

 Chapter 227 - 227 Finding Trouble 2

    "In that case, I have no choice but to offend you." Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed, flames flickering at his feet as he prepared to dash past Jack Bun to retrieve the gold cards from the counter.


    With the gold card in hand, he could prove his innocence. Without it, his reputation in Bloodstone Pass would be tarnished.


    "How dare you!"


    Jack Bun shouted coldly, and a dark spiritual array rapidly appeared before him. A beetle engulfed in black flames suddenly emerged, its transparent wings vibrating and covered in intricate patterns.


    "Uncle, he''s just here to cause trouble. Teach him a lesson!" Jack Nan''s face lit up with excitement as the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived.


    "The Black Flame Beetle Jack Bun summoned his strongest spirit beast right away. He clearly doesn''t want to give that young man a chance."


    "Who knows, maybe the young man really did intend to dine and dash. It''s not like it hasn''t happened before."


    Voices of discussion echoed throughout the inn, but everyone maintained a spectator''s stance. In Bloodstone Pass, the key to survival was to mind one''s own business.


    "A mid tier third rank imperial grade spirit beast, huh?" Blaze Regret smirked. When Red was at the first rank, it could only manage a draw against such an opponent at best. But now, this Black Flame Beetle was no match for Red.


    "Swish!"


    With a push off the table, Red shot out, deftly dodging several incoming black flames. It swiftly maneuvered around the Black Flame Beetle in a dazzling display of agility.


    "A high tier imperial grade spirit beast, the Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat!" Jack Bun''s pupils contracted. Blaze Regret hadn''t released his aura earlier, so Jack Bun had assumed he was just a formidable spirit warrior. He hadn''t expected that Jack Nan had provoked a genuine spirit Imperial master!


    "Even so, my Black Flame Beetle is third rank. Even if it can''t defeat the Three Tail Sun Blazing Cat, it shouldn''t be easily beaten."


    Just as this thought crossed Jack Nan''s mind, his face twitched violently. Sharp flame crystals suddenly rained down around the Black Flame Beetle, piercing its body!


    The Black Flame Beetle crashed to the ground, its legs twitching weakly. The inn fell into an instant silence.


    The blazing attack of the Red was as swift as thunder, catching everyone off guard. Its speed was so fast that most people could only see a few flame crystal pillars forming around the Black Flame Beetle. The next moment, the Black Flame Beetle was mercilessly pierced by the flame crystal pillars, severely injured, and fell.


    As Blaze Regret walked past the stunned Jack Bun and Jack Nan, he extended his hand, and the terrified shop assistant quickly handed over all the gold coin cards.


    With a quick flick of the gold coin card in his hand, Blaze Regret smiled faintly and lifted the gold coin card with the Hildan mark towards Jack Bun, "Boss Jack, I''ve paid. Isn''t it time to serve the dishes?"


    Jack Bun''s face twisted in pain as he collected the Black Flame Beetle into his spirit portal, not daring to show any anger. If Blaze Regret hadn''t held back just now, his Black Flame Beetle would have been instantly killed.


    "An Tut, serve the dishes," Jack Bun said with a twitch, walking out of the restaurant without looking back.


    "Boss Jack, don''t be in such a rush. I''d like to invite you for a drink. What do you say?" Blaze Regret smiled as he blocked Jack Bun, knowing exactly what the old man was thinking. If he let him go, it wouldn''t take long for the Jack family''s strongmen to arrive.


    "Hehe, what happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Since the little brother is inviting, it would be rude of me to decline," Jack Bun forced a smile, his mouth twitching.


    "Boss Jack, since it was a misunderstanding, then..." Blaze Regret pulled Jack Bun to the table, smiling.


    "Of course, as long as you and your spirit beast can eat it, no matter the price, I''ll cover it," Jack Bun said, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, smiling apologetically.


    "That''s good," Blaze Regret nodded. As the spirit array was drawn, a massive silver figure slowly stepped out.


    Seeing the suddenly appearing spirit beast, Jack Bun''s heart skipped a beat.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros coldly eyed the food on the table, grabbed a plate, and poured it directly into its mouth. Then, it casually tossed the empty plate to the ground.


    "Crack!"


    The jade plate shattered into countless pieces.


    In less than ten breaths, food worth nearly ten thousand gold coins was all devoured by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, clearly still unsatisfied.


    Seeing the cold and imposing Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, everyone in the restaurant couldn''t help but gasp quietly. It wasn''t just because of its enormous appetite, but because the young man sitting there was actually a dual source spirit master!


    Compared to the shock of the others, Jack Nan and his group were completely dumbfounded. Only they knew that Blaze Regret was not just a dual source spirit master but an even more terrifying triple source spirit master!


    It was only now that they realized they had kicked an iron plate.


    "Little brother, this..." Jack Bun looked at the now empty table, his scalp tingling. Nearly ten thousand gold coins worth of food had been effortlessly devoured by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros!


    "Boss Jack, we must keep our word," Blaze Regret said cheerfully, tapping the table as if scolding an old friend for trying to cheat.


    Raising its sharp claw slightly, the Red stared intently at Jack Bun, with faint flames flickering at the tip of its claw.


    "An Tut, why are you still standing there? Serve the dishes!" Jack Bun swallowed hard and shouted at the dumbfounded shop assistant, though his face was full of pain. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After quickly devouring several more tables of food, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros sat coldly on the ground, while the Red squatted on the table, eating heartily and contentedly twitching its little ears.

 Chapter 228 - 228 Kartis Wave

    "Boss Jack, it seems my spirit beasts aren''t full yet," Blaze Regret glanced at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and then looked at Jack Bun with a hint of regret.


    "Boss, we''re out of ingredients!" the shop assistant wailed. That was spirit beast essence worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and it was all devoured by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros in just a few bites.


    Hearing this, Jack Bun''s heart clenched tightly, almost suffocating. For some families in the core area of Bloodstone Pass, ten thousand gold coins were not a small amount, let alone for the Jack family.


    "How about we come back tomorrow?" Blaze Regret looked at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and asked tentatively. The latter nodded silently.


    "Little brother, please don''t!" Jack Bun stood up uncontrollably, his face full of terror.


    Just this one meal had already cost the Jack family a significant portion of their wealth. If Blaze Regret came a few more times, even the largest family would be eaten into bankruptcy by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "That''s truly a pity." Blaze Regret shook his head regretfully, wiped Red''s mouth, then stored the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros back into the Spirit portal and started walking towards the door.


    "Boss Jack, I hope this matter ends here, don''t you think?"


    Just a step away from the door, Blaze Regret suddenly turned back and looked at Jack Bun with a smile. Only after seeing Jack Bun nod frantically did he step out.


    "Uncle, why didn''t you inform my father to come and kill this brat!" Jack Nan said urgently, watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure.


    "Slap!"


    Raising his hand, Jack Bun gave Jack Nan a hard slap across the face, glaring at him angrily. "You little troublemaker, all you do is cause problems! Never mind whether your father could even come, that kid could tear this restaurant apart before he arrives!"


    Clutching his now swollen face, Jack Nan stood there in a daze, feeling as if all the eyes around him were mocking him.


    "I will kill you, I must kill you!" Jack Nan slumped onto a bench, his fists clenched tightly, murderous intent growing wildly like weeds in his heart.


    Perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red was completely relaxed, clearly satisfied after a hearty meal.


    Although Hildan Town had restaurants, they were nowhere near the level of this place.


    "Zhixin Pill, a third grade pill. Ingredients: Youqi Tianxiang Grass, Dragonberry Fruit, and Netherworld Blossom." Blaze Regret walked down the street, flipping through an ancient book in his hand, feeling a wave of dizziness.


    All three ingredients were spirit herbs, and extremely rare ones at that. Take the Youqi Tianxiang Grass, for instance only one had ever been recorded in the entire Sun Moon Empire, and it was just a legend.


    Closing the book with a bitter smile, Blaze Regret gently stroked his chin.


    Relying solely on himself, he might not find this spirit herb even by the time he advanced to Spirit Lord. He would have to cast a wide net.


    By the end of the day, Blaze Regret had scoured every shop in Bloodstone Pass but found no trace of the Youqi Tianxiang Grass, leaving him slightly agitated.


    "Pure Water Pavilion."


    At dusk, Blaze Regret stood in front of a pavilion, lightly furrowing his brows. It was said to be a spirit herb shop, but judging by its structure, it didn''t look like a shop at all.


    "Whatever, let''s go in and take a look." Blaze Regret shook his head and walked straight into the Pure Water Pavilion.


    Entering the Clear Water Pavilion, Blaze Regret''s gaze swept around, revealing a trace of surprise in his eyes. This pharmacy had none of the complex decorations found in other shops. There were only two wooden shelves placed in the corners of the walls. The texture of the wood gave off a faint sense of an ancient era.


    As his gaze moved forward, he noticed a young man leaning lazily on the counter, playing with an incense burner. A refreshing aroma wafted from it, instantly lifting one''s spirits with just a whiff. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Looking at the young man, Blaze Regret''s expression became somewhat peculiar. He had seen many beautiful women, but it was the first time he had encountered such a delicate looking male. His fair skin was even more exquisite than that of many women.


    "Little guy, what are you looking for?" The young man raised his head, revealing a handsome face, and spoke in a somewhat languid tone.


    "Senior, may I ask if you have these three herbs?" Blaze Regret coughed lightly and handed over a piece of white paper.


    "Yuqitian Fragrant Grass, Dragon Solanum Fruit, Netherworld Stamen these herbs are quite rare." The young man tapped his slender fingers on the table, and the smoke from the incense burner swirled around his loose black hair.


    "Sorry, but my humble shop does not have these herbs." The young man flicked his fingers, and the paper listing the ingredients for the Zhixin Pill slowly floated back to Blaze Regret''s hand.


    With a sigh of disappointment, Blaze Regret pursed his lips. Although he hadn''t held much hope when entering the shop, hearing the definitive answer still left him somewhat dejected.


    "Sorry to bother you," Blaze Regret cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, turned around, and headed out of the shop.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s departing figure, the young man''s eyes flickered, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.


    "Wait, little guy, what''s your relationship with Nor Amelia?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s footsteps halted in mid air, frozen for a long while.


    Moments later, Blaze Regret turned around, staring at the young man with a face full of astonishment. The latter''s expression remained calm and indifferent, as if the question had not come from him.


    "Senior, I don''t know what you''re talking about," Blaze Regret replied calmly, but in the palm of his right hand, hidden behind his back, a sharp ice blade suddenly appeared.

 Chapter 229 - 229 Clue

    "Heh, don''t be nervous. I mean no harm. Let me introduce myself I am Kartis Wave, from the Kartis family of the Empire''s Central region," the young man said with a smile.


    The Kartis family!


    Blaze Regret''s body tensed up immediately, and a faint chill flashed in his eyes.


    "You seem quite hostile towards the Kartis family," Kartis Wave observed, a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    "I just don''t have a good impression of them," Blaze Regret sneered. If the young man in front of him knew that he had killed Kartis Song from the Kartis family not long ago, his elegant demeanor would likely be shattered instantly.


    "The Kartis family... I haven''t been back there in a long time," Kartis Wave shook his head and said softly, "By your demeanor, it seems you have some grudge against the Kartis family. But don''t worry, their matters have nothing to do with me. My surname is just a formality."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned inwardly. He was starting to find it hard to discern the young man''s intentions.


    "I''ve told you my name. Don''t you think you should introduce yourself?" Kartis Wave''s smiling face gave off an extremely gentle vibe, making it hard for Blaze Regret to find a reason to refuse.


    "My name is Blaze Regret," Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to be truthful.


    "As expected, I see his shadow in you. How is Blaze Ash doing these days?" Kartis Wave sighed, his voice calm.


    Upon hearing this, cold sweat seeped from Blaze Regret''s palm. For the first time, he felt as if someone had seen through all his secrets.


    First Nor Amelia, and now his father this young man named Kartis Wave seemed to know everything.


    "Your father was quite a remarkable figure in the Empire''s Central region back in the day. And after leaving that place, he soared even higher. Unfortunately..." Kartis Wave shook his head lightly, trailing off.


    "You know my father?" Blaze Regret asked urgently.


    "More than just knowing him," Kartis Wave began, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. "Forty years ago, a man named Ice Lotus Master froze Stell Stone City and slaughtered 100,000 lives. It was your father and I who personally killed him."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind. Kartis Wave''s words contained so much information that he found it difficult to process all at once.


    Forty years ago? That would mean his father, Blaze Ash, must be at least sixty years old.


    Although cultivators have extremely long lifespans and sixty years is merely youth for a Spirit Master, why then did Blaze Ash appear to be in his middle years?


    Moreover, Kartis Wave had just mentioned that Ice Lotus Master was slain by him and Blaze Ash. Given Blaze Ash''s Spirit Lord level strength, how could he have participated in such an event?

    Questions swirled like a storm in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "What, Blaze Ash never told you?" Kartis Wave looked at Blaze Regret, puzzled. Then, with a wave of his hand, two large doors slammed shut with a bang, leaving the two people about to enter Clear Water Pavilion standing there, stunned.


    "Can you tell me about my father''s past?" Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled bitterly.


    "Forget it. If Blaze Ash didn''t want to tell you, then I have no reason to either. Let''s talk about Nor Amelia instead," Kartis Wave said, changing the subject with a mischievous smile.


    "Nor Amelia?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.


    "Yes, you have a trace of Heavenly Kui''s aura on you. I trust my senses are not mistaken," Kartis Wave nodded, his tone teasing.


    "Heavenly Kui?" Blaze Regret''s face changed abruptly upon hearing this. Nor Amelia''s mystical beast was actually Heavenly Kui!


    Heavenly Kui, a water attribute mystical beast, ranked seventh in the Mystical Beast Records. Although the rankings in the Mystical Beast Records are not solely based on strength, the higher the rank, the rarer their appearances on the Spirit Beast Continent. The most recent records of Heavenly Kui date back thousands of years.


    "What is your relationship with Nor Amelia?" Blaze Regret snapped back to reality, a hint of wariness appearing in his eyes.


    "Oh, getting jealous?" Kartis Wave chuckled. Though his tone was calm, his provoking demeanor was infuriating.


    "None of your business!" Blaze Regret retorted, abandoning any pretense of respect for his elder and rolling his eyes at Kartis Wave.


    "Strictly speaking, I am Nor Amelia''s uncle," Kartis Wave said with a playful smirk.


    "Greetings, Uncle Kartis!" Without thinking, Blaze Regret quickly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, his attitude shifting so rapidly that Kartis Wave was momentarily taken aback.


    "You''re quite straightforward," Kartis Wave said, caught between amusement and exasperation.


    "Since you know my father, calling you uncle is only fitting," Blaze Regret replied earnestly, realizing for the first time just how thick skinned he could be.


    "Time flies; I must be getting old," Kartis Wave shook his head with a smile. "Since you put it that way, I won''t hold back any secrets. The spiritual herbs you''re looking for are indeed rare, but I do know something about the whereabouts of the Yuqitian Fragrant Grass and the Netherworld Essense."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up, and he unconsciously crumpled the white paper in his excited grip.


    He hadn''t expected that in just one afternoon, he would obtain clues about two of the spiritual herbs. Entering this Clear Water Pavilion had indeed been the best decision of the day.


    Night gradually descended like a curtain over the vast Bloodstone Pass. Even though it was night time, the hustle and bustle inside the pass did not diminish in the slightest. Countless lanterns, as numerous as fireflies, illuminated the streets, and the lively atmosphere could be felt clearly even from within the inn.


    "It turns out that Netherworld Essence is a companion elixir of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, only growing beside it. No wonder there''s no detailed record of it in ancient texts. If I can find the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, I will naturally find the whereabouts of the Netherworld Essence."

 Chapter 230 - 230 Patel Family

    Sitting cross legged on the bed in his guest room, Blaze Regret savored the information provided by Kartis Wave and gently pursed his lips.


    "Reportedly, the Patel family in Bloodstone Pass obtained a seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass a year ago, and the location where it was found is in the Black Nether Abyss. If I visit the Patel family tomorrow, I will naturally learn more." Blaze Regret smiled.


    Although he didn''t know why Kartis Wave was in Bloodstone Pass, the information he provided was extremely useful. The materials needed for refining the Heart Calming Pill and information about the Black Nether Abyss were all things Blaze Regret urgently needed to know.


    "Roar!"


    Lying at Blaze Regret''s feet, Red weakly wagged its fluffy tail, looking tired.


    "Sleep now. We''ll have something to do tomorrow."


    Blaze Regret laid out his bedding and then lazily lay down, looking content. It had been a long time since he felt this comfortable. In Hildan Town, even sleeping at night, he had to worry about being stealthily killed by spirit hunters or spirit beasts.


    The night quietly passed.


    The next morning, at dawn.


    For some reason, Bloodstone Pass was particularly restless today. Early in the morning, Blaze Regret was awakened by the bustling voices of people.


    "What''s going on?" Blaze Regret frowned and pushed open the wooden window. He saw several figures wearing the same clothes darting anxiously through the streets below.


    "I heard that Patel Rong, the head of the Patel family, has had a relapse of his old injury. This time, it''s particularly severe, and he might not make it through."


    The faintly overheard words instantly dispelled Blaze Regret''s drowsiness, a trace of urgency flashing in his eyes. According to Kartis Wave, the seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass was in Patel Rong''s possession. If something happened to him, who knows when Blaze Regret would be able to find information about the Ghostly Fragrant Grass again.


    Dressing as quickly as possible, Blaze Regret placed the still drowsy Red on his shoulder, then hurried out of his room. After settling all his bills, he quickly stepped out of the inn.


    A quick scan of the surroundings revealed numerous figures in gray clothing pasting papers on the streets. Approaching one of them, Blaze Regret saw that they were looking for alchemists.


    "The minimum requirement is a Grade Two Alchemist. What kind of injury did Patel Rong sustain?" Blaze Regret murmured to himself.


    Grade Two Alchemists were rare even in velorian City, let alone in Bloodstone Pass, which was of significantly lower overall strength. Finding a Grade Two Alchemist here would be extremely difficult.


    "May I ask, what kind of injury did Master Patel Rong sustain?" Blaze Regret asked a nearby Patel family member in a low voice.


    "Who do you think you are, calling our master''s name so casually?" The young Patel family member, seeing Blaze Regret''s youthful face, immediately showed signs of impatience, his tone unkind.


    "Patel kin, the young man is just asking a question. No need to get so worked up." Another Patel family member quickly intervened, pulling Patel kin aside and offering Blaze Regret an apologetic smile.


    "Young man, you must be new to Bloodstone Pass and unaware of certain matters. Our master was bitten by a Fire Refining Snake in the Black Nether Abyss a year ago and was poisoned. Only a Grade Two elixir, the Water Resonance Pill, can cure him."


    "But although this elixir is classified as Grade Two, it is extremely difficult to refine. Even after spending a fortune to hire several Grade Two Alchemists, the Water Resonance Pill still hasn''t been successfully made."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded. So that''s how it was.


    While he didn''t possess the formula for the Water Resonance Pill, he had heard of its reputation. This elixir was known as a Grade Two elixir that only a Grade Three Alchemist could successfully refine. No wonder Patel Rong''s snake venom couldn''t be purged.


    "Patel Shin, why are you wasting time talking to him?" Patel kin glanced at Blaze Regret with clear disdain in his voice.


    "Can I give it a try?" Blaze Regret ignored Patel kin and instead smiled at Patel Shin.


    "You?" Patel kin sneered and shook his head. These days, it seems like anyone dares to pretend to be an alchemist.


    "Young man, are you an alchemist?" Unlike Patel kin, Patel Shin''s eyes lit up with excitement.


    Without saying a word, Blaze Regret opened his palm and gave it a slight shake. A pale yellow flame emerged with a soft "whoosh," its energy more potent than that of an ordinary Grade Two Alchemist.


    Seeing the flame in Blaze Regret''s hand, Patel kin was stunned into silence, his face full of disbelief. In the next moment, fear crept into his heart damn it, this guy really is an alchemist!


    Even without knowing Blaze Regret''s exact grade, just the fact that he was an alchemist meant he wasn''t someone a mere Patel family member like Patel kin could afford to offend. Everyone knew how much trouble offending an alchemist could bring.


    "Young man, what grade of alchemist are you?" Patel Shin asked, still stunned but overjoyed.


    "Grade Two. I can try refining the Water Resonance Pill. Perhaps I might succeed." Blaze Regret replied with a calm smile.


    "Young... Master, please follow me." Patel Shin respectfully bowed and gestured for Blaze Regret to follow him towards the Patel family residence.


    "No need to be so formal. Just call me Blaze Regret." Blaze Regret said, waving his hand dismissively as he walked.


    "Very well, Blaze Regret. I apologize for any offense." Patel Shin walked beside Blaze Regret, his eyes brimming with joy. Building a good relationship with an alchemist could bring immense benefits, an opportunity he had never encountered before.

    Even the lowest Grade One Alchemist wouldn''t usually spare him a glance. The prestige and arrogance of alchemists were well known across the continent.


    "Damn it!" Patel kin bit his lip, looking at Patel Shin with envy and jealousy. If only he had treated Blaze Regret with a bit more respect, he might have had this opportunity instead of Patel Shin.

 Chapter 231 - 231 Prove

    "However, even if he is a Grade Two Alchemist, it doesn''t mean he can successfully refine the Water Resonance Pill. When the time comes, I want to see how he makes a fool of himself." Patel Kin''s eyes were filled with venom, and his initial disappointment quickly turned into resentment and hatred.


    With that thought, Patel kin quickened his pace, trailing behind Blaze Regret and Patel Shin from a distance, all the while cursing silently in his heart.


    The Patel Family, located on the southern side of Bloodstone Pass, stood out with its grand architectural outline compared to the neighboring courtyards. The gilded characters of "Patel Family" further emphasized the family''s prestige.


    "Patel Shin, weren''t you supposed to go out and find an alchemist? Why are you back so soon?" S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As Blaze Regret was observing the structure of the Patel Family residence, a guard at the gate suddenly spoke up. From his slightly questioning tone, it was clear that his status in the Patel Family was much higher than Patel Shin''s.


    "This is the alchemist," Patel Shin quickly glanced at Blaze Regret and said.


    "Oh? So young?" The Patel Family member had just shown a hint of doubt on his face when a pale yellow flame suddenly rose before his eyes. Immediately, the indifference on his face vanished, replaced by deep fear and respect.


    "Master, please come in!"


    Under numerous heated gazes, Blaze Regret stepped through the Patel Family''s main gate. Any Patel Family member who saw him quickly stood aside, showing utmost respect.


    "Being an alchemist is really a well regarded profession," Blaze Regret sighed inwardly. As long as one had a connection with these three characters, they could thrive anywhere.


    Walking slowly, after a moment, a hall filled with silhouettes finally appeared in Blaze Regret''s sight.


    "The poison of the Fire Refining Snake is truly dreadful, to have reduced an eighth tier spirit Imperial master to this state," Blaze Regret muttered as he looked at a middle aged man sitting at the head of the hall with his eyes closed.


    That middle aged man was none other than Patel Family''s head, Patel Rong. Most of his hair had fallen out, and he was weakly leaning against the chair. His skin was covered in red spots.


    On either side of the main seat sat an elder, both with proud expressions. Their every movement exuded an arrogance that looked down on the Patel Family.


    "Master Blaze, that man in the red robe over there is a second tier alchemist named Star Megami, and the one in the purple robe is Swith Mark, also a second tier alchemist," Patel Shin softly said, pointing in their direction.


    Blaze Regret nodded slightly, lifted his foot, and strode into the hall.


    As soon as Blaze Regret entered, dozens of gazes immediately turned toward him. Unlike the guards at the gate, they were unaware of Blaze Regret''s status as an alchemist, so their faces were filled with curiosity and suspicion.


    Star Megami and Swith Mark, however, continued sipping their tea, not even bothering to glance at Blaze Regret.


    "Patriarch, this is Master Blaze. He says he can attempt to refine the Water Resonance Pill," Patel Shin announced loudly, cupping his hands in respect. It was clear that the Fire Refining Snake''s poison had also affected Patel Rong''s hearing.


    Leaning against his chair, it took Patel Rong a considerable effort to open his eyes, which held a faint trace of red within the black pupils.


    "Poof!"


    Before Patel Rong could speak, Star Megami spat out a mouthful of tea, looking at Blaze Regret with a mocking expression. Swith Mark also curled his lips in disdain.


    "Master? Since when did the title ''Master'' become so cheap?" Star Megami scoffed, wiping the tea from his beard with a tone full of ridicule.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Perhaps his alchemy skills were not considered exceptional in the central empire, but in this small Bloodstone Pass, he definitely deserved the title of ''Master,'' at least more so than Star Megami.


    Moreover, as soon as he entered the hall, Blaze Regret noticed that the auras of Star Megami and Swith Mark were slightly disordered, indicating they were merely beginners in the second tier alchemist rank. Their abilities were even slightly inferior to his own when he had just left Velorian City.


    "Oh? Young friend, are you also an alchemist?" Patel Rong asked slowly, his lips trembling. Just uttering those few words caused sweat to bead on his forehead.


    Without a word, Blaze Regret clenched his fist, and a pale yellow flame danced in his palm like a lively sprite.


    "This flame is nothing special, barely has the strength of a first grade alchemist." Start Megami sneered, his voice extremely mocking.


    Swith Mark glanced at Blaze Regret''s flame, then withdrew his gaze, not even bothering to lift his head again. In his perception, Blaze Regret was still at the level of a first grade alchemist, and in the eyes of a second grade alchemist, a first grade one was no different from an ordinary person.


    With a slight flick of his palm, the pale yellow flame dissipated, and Blaze Regret lowered his hand.


    His alchemy skills were already very close to those of a third grade alchemist. At this stage, the aura of the alchemic flame had begun to become restrained, and unless one surpassed a second grade alchemist, it was impossible to detect.


    "Young friend, do you know that the Water Resonance Pill is a second grade elixir?" Patel Rong said slowly. He wasn''t familiar with alchemy, so upon hearing Start Megami''s words, he automatically labeled Blaze Regret as a first grade alchemist.


    "Patriarch Patel, if you don''t mind, I can refine the elixir for you right now." Blaze Regret''s voice was calm. From the look of Patel Rong, he could only last another three days at most. In such a situation, as long as he showed a bit of skill, Patel Rong would definitely be willing to try.

 Chapter 232 - 232 Refining

    He came to the Patel family intending to extort Patel Rong heavily. The materials for refining the Water Resonance Pill were costly, and if Blaze Regret wasted some of them, he would earn fewer gold coins.


    Upon hearing this, Patel Rong hesitated.


    Ever since he was injured by the fire snake, the Patel family''s financial situation had been in deficit. Refining a Water Resonance Pill would cost at least forty thousand gold coins, and after several previous ordeals, the Patel family''s situation was nearly unsustainable.


    "Patriarch Patel, I have at least an eighty percent chance of successfully refining the Water Resonance Pill." Blaze Regret''s expression remained calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his voice. The Ghostly Fragrant Grass was crucial to him, and he could not afford any mistakes. Start Megami''s repeated interference was wearing down his already limited patience.


    "80%." Patel Rong mulled over these words, his expression becoming extremely complex.


    "80% certainty? Even I wouldn''t dare claim such confidence. Truly boastful," Star Megami shook his head and sighed. "I really wonder who taught you this half baked alchemy. You haven''t learned much skill, but your arrogance is impressive. I feel sorry for your teacher."


    "Doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth," Swith Mark said disdainfully as he placed his teacup on the table.


    "Young friend, if you succeed in refining it, what reward do you seek?" Patel Rong finally spoke after struggling for a moment. Star Megami and Swith Mark''s expressions changed slightly.


    Is Patel Rong foolish? He actually wants to let this attention seeker try!


    "I heard that a year ago, you obtained a seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass," Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment before speaking candidly. Given the limited knowledge of second tier alchemists like Star Megami and Swith Mark, they might not even know about a rare pill like the Zhixin Dan.


    "Ghostly Fragrant Grass, what''s that?"


    Sure enough, Star Megami and Swith Mark frowned slightly. They had never even heard of this rare herb.


    "So you know about it. I didn''t expect anyone to recognize its existence," Patel Rong forced a smile, reaching inside his robe. A faint fragrance filled the hall as he revealed a pale blue seed.


    "It''s really the seed of Ghostly Fragrant Grass!" Blaze Regret clenched his fist in excitement, a relieved smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.


    Finally, he had seen it!


    "Young friend, these seeds of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass are something I obtained from the Black Underworld Abyss. To get them, I had to battle a ninth tier high level Imperial grade Fire Refining Snake, which left me seriously injured. And now, to save my life, I have to give them up. Fate truly plays tricks on us," Patel Rong said with a difficult smile, his voice weak.


    "Master Patel, do you know what these seeds can be used for?" Blaze Regret asked, a glint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.


    "Of course I know. After this grass blooms, it can be refined by spirit beasts to enhance their strength. If luck is on their side, even a ninth tier Imperial Grade spirit beast has a chance to break through to the lord level. I assume this is why you came here," Patel Rong said confidently.


    "Master Patel, you are indeed insightful." Blaze Regret cupped his hands and smiled, a look of admiration on his face, though he was internally overjoyed.


    It seems very few people know the true function of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, let alone about the Zhixin Dan.


    "Enhance strength?" Star Megami and Swith Mark''s eyes lit up. The weakest aspect of an alchemist is the cultivation of spirit beasts. According to Patel Rong, the Ghostly Fragrant Grass can force a Imperial Grade spirit beast to break through to the lord level. Refining low tier spirit beasts with it would surely make them break through several tiers continuously.


    It''s well known that breaking through from Imperial to lord level is incredibly difficult.


    "Hehe, I originally planned to find a way to cultivate this seed, but now, without my life, strength is meaningless. If you can indeed refine the Water Resonance Pill, this seed will be yours," Patel Rong nodded slowly and then closed his eyes. Speaking so much had already drained his energy.


    "Master Blaze, these are the materials for refining the Water Resonance Pill," Patel Shin took three small boxes from a clansman and quickly walked to Blaze Regret, handing them over with both hands.


    "Phew~"


    Looking at the three spirit herbs flowing with a water like color, Blaze Regret took out a pill cauldron from his storage ring and exhaled softly. His thoughts gradually calmed down.


    "Sigh, we''re going to waste some more spirit herbs again," Star Megami shook his head in pain and sighed. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A frog at the bottom of a well won''t know the vastness of the sky unless it hits a wall," Swith Mark took out a book and immersed himself in it, not even bothering to look, as if he had already foreseen the outcome.


    "Begin!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly opened. With a gentle wave of his hand, a ball of pale yellow flame landed inside the pill cauldron and began to burn slowly. The scorching fire serpent licked the inner walls of the cauldron, causing the surrounding air to faintly steam.


    Seeing Blaze Regret start refining the pill, all the Patel family members around couldn''t help but hold their breath, their eyes filled with tension. To them, Patel Rong was the pillar of the Patel family. As long as he was there, the Patel family would not fall. But if Patel Rong were to perish, the Patel family''s status would become even more awkward than that of the Jack family.


    "Not bad, but still decades behind me," Star Megami half lay on a chair, a hint of disdain on his face as he commented.


    The hall was silent, with only the faint sound of the pale yellow flame burning. Blaze Regret kept his eyes tightly shut, carefully controlling the temperature of the flame.

 Chapter 233 - 233 Refining 2

    Different pills require different flames, and the Water Resonance Pill prefers a gentler flame. This is because the three herbs used to refine it are all water attributed. Too high a temperature would cause their medicinal properties to evaporate into the air.


    "Water Cold Leaf," Blaze Regret muttered. With a flick of his hand, the leaf that resembled flowing water instantly shattered. Wrapped in the pale yellow flame, the entire leaf transformed into a drop of clear liquid, filling the room with a faint, refreshing coolness.


    "Go." S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At Blaze Regret''s command, the drop of clear liquid slowly fell into the pill cauldron. Instantly, a circle of clear light appeared around the cauldron, flickering and looking extremely beautiful.


    "So beautiful!" The female members of the Patel family, seeing this scene, had their eyes sparkling. The once tedious process of pill refining could indeed be so gorgeous.


    Moments later, Blaze Regret relaxed his hand. The second herb, Resonating Spirit Grass, was also placed inside. After melting, it quickly fused with the drop of liquid, and a rich medicinal fragrance continuously emanated from it.


    "Buzz!"


    A peculiar sound rang out as the light circle around the cauldron split into several more, intertwining and seemingly rotating slowly.


    "Just merging these two herbs took nearly half the time. No wonder the Water Resonance Pill is so difficult to refine."


    In Blaze Regret''s dark eyes, the pale yellow flame flickered gently. With another wave of his hand, a cyan blue bead hovered above the cauldron, enveloping it in a faint blue spiritual energy.


    "This Water Life Pearl should be placed inside the pill cauldron. Why is he using it this way?" Star Megami''s thoughts raced. No matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn''t fathom Blaze Regret''s reasoning behind this action.


    "Hmm?" Patel Rong''s aged eyes slightly opened. Seeing the Water Life Pearl emitting spiritual energy, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. Previously, during Star Megami and the others'' pill refining, there was no such step. Could it be that this young man really knows how to refine the Water Resonance Pill?


    Thinking of this, Patel Rong''s withered hand began to tremble faintly. If Blaze Regret could truly refine the Water Resonance Pill and neutralize the snake venom from the Fire refined Serpent, he would be willing to sacrifice all of the Patel family''s wealth.


    Wealth can always be earned again, but once a life is lost, everything ends.


    "Fortunately, the Medicine Emperor''s Seed contains detailed instructions for refining this pill. Otherwise, even a third grade alchemist would likely ruin it."


    Blaze Regret sighed lightly in his heart. With a slight exertion of his hand, the Water Life Pearl''s mist spraying speed increased significantly.


    The Water Life Pearl is the most crucial part of the Water Life Tree. Once the tree matures, all of its essence flows into the Water Life Pearl, causing the tree itself to rapidly wither. This makes the water attributed energy within the Water Life Pearl exceptionally pure, though it is also quite expensive.


    Time swiftly passed. The radiance of the Water Life Pearl quickly dimmed, and cracks began to appear on its surface. The crisp sound of shattering startled Swith Mark, who had been focused on his work.


    "What''s happening?" Swith Mark asked with a frown.


    "It must have failed," Star Megami said, somewhat uncertain. But seeing Blaze Regret''s calm demeanor, an unsettling feeling crept into his heart, as if today''s events were not unfolding as he had anticipated.


    "It mustn''t succeed. Otherwise, that Patel Shin will get an easy ride." Unlike the other Patel family members who were praying, Patel kin was maliciously cursing in his heart, completely disregarding Patel Rong''s life.


    However, as time went on, a perfectly round, cyan blue pill finally took shape. At the moment the Water Life Pearl completely shattered, it popped out of the cauldron with a sound and was caught by Blaze Regret.


    Success!


    Patel Rong''s eyes trembled, and the Patel family members burst into excited cheers. Only Patel kin clenched his teeth in frustration, his face full of unwillingness.


    "Refine what? Do you think this is child''s play? Patriarch Patel, don''t listen to his nonsense. I have a prescription for a clear water solution here. Once I prepare it for you, using this solution will cleanse you and remove most of the fire snake''s venom." Start Megami quickly interjected.


    The clear crystal Water Resonance Pill lay quietly in Blaze Regret''s palm. Several faint blue water rings appeared around the pill and gradually faded away as the pill''s fragrance spread.


    "This kid, how could he possibly refine a Water Resonance Pill!" Star Megami gritted his teeth, feeling almost suffocated as he looked at the flawless Water Resonance Pill.


    Swith Mark was also stunned, feeling as if he had been slapped hard across the face, his cheeks burning with pain. The book in his hand slipped to the ground, and he didn''t even react.


    "Patel Shin, help me give this pill to the head of the Patel family," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Patel Shin hurriedly took the Water Resonance Pill and handed it to Patel Rong, his eyes full of excitement.


    In the Patel family, his status was extremely low, so his cultivation resources were very scarce. Until now, he was only a third tier warrior grade, which was nothing in Patel Rong''s eyes. If it weren''t for finding Blaze Regret, the alchemist, he wouldn''t even have the luxury of meeting Patel Rong.


    Patel Rong''s hand trembled as he tried to grasp the Water Resonance Pill, but he couldn''t hold it up. He lowered his arm and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, you help me."


    Hearing this, Patel Shin quickly raised his hand and carefully placed the pill into Patel Rong''s mouth.


    Patel Rong closed his eyes, his throat moved, and the Water Resonance Pill fell into his stomach. A cool sensation quickly spread throughout his body, a feeling of comfort he had never experienced before.


    "Buzz!"

 Chapter 234 - 234 Success

    As the Water Resonance Pill was gradually refined, several faint blue streams of light flashed around Patel Rong, circulating at a very slow speed. After a while, those streams of light were actually mixed with some fiery red colors.


    "It actually works!"


    Seeing this, Star Megami and Swith Mark stood up with ugly expressions. They cupped their hands toward Patel Rong and then left the Patel family in a hurry, looking like two defeated dogs.


    At this moment, they no longer had the face to stay in the Patel family any longer. The disdainful glances from the Patel family members seemed as if they could pierce right through them.


    The Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder yawned lightly, then squinted its eyes again, smacking its lips comfortably.


    Blaze Regret glanced around, and Patel Shin quickly moved a chair behind him.


    "Thank you," Blaze Regret said with a smile and nodded.


    "It''s my duty, it''s my duty," Patel Shin replied with an awkward smile. Although he hadn''t held much hope for Blaze Regret''s ability to refine the Water Resonance Pill initially, he now understood that his future status in the Patel family depended entirely on this young man.


    "Come out!"


    Sitting in the chair, Patel Rong''s face turned fierce. His withered hand suddenly clenched into a grip like a sharp eagle''s claw. Between the claws, a fiery red ball of impurities rapidly grew larger.


    Patel Rong''s eyes snapped open, and with a wave of his hand, the fiery red ball of impurities turned into a stream of light and embedded itself into the wooden pillar on the right side of the hall with a ''pa'' sound.


    "So comfortable, so very comfortable!" Patel Rong looked at his hand, which had regained some color, and laughed heartily. For a year, he had endured the torment of the fire refining snake venom, and now he felt a sudden sense of rebirth.


    Seeing this scene, the Patel family members in the hall were all excited, and their grateful eyes were all directed at the young man in the black robe.


    Of course, there were exceptions.


    Patel Kin lowered his head and bit his teeth hard. He knew that he had missed the greatest opportunity of his life.


    "Fifth tier spirit Imperial master," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile. Although Patel Rong''s strength had not fully recovered, his current aura was already comparable to that of a fifth tier spirit Imperial master. In just half a month, he would return to his peak.

    An eighth tier spirit Imperial Master is among the top ranks in the entire Bloodstone Pass.


    "My young friend, as promised, this seed of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass is yours," Patel Rong said with a light chuckle, flicking his sleeve to send a faint blue light towards Blaze Regret.


    Holding the seed in his hand, Blaze Regret was slightly surprised that Patel Rong handed it over so readily. With a little cultivation, once the Ghostly Fragrant Grass blooms, it could help him at least break through to a ninth tier spirit Imperial Master!


    However, Blaze Regret quickly understood. Perhaps the Ghostly Fragrant Grass was a rare treasure in his eyes, but in Patel Rong''s mind, it might not be worth damaging his relationship with a second tier alchemist.


    "My young friend, I don''t recall hearing about you in Bloodstone Pass before," Patel Rong said, looking at Blaze Regret with a slightly puzzled expression. Such a young second tier alchemist would cause quite a stir even in the central empire, let alone in Bloodstone Pass.


    "Hehe, Master Patel, I am merely passing through on my travels," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    Hearing this, Patel Rong felt a bit regretful. If Blaze Regret could stay in Bloodstone Pass, given today''s events and with a good relationship, the Patel family would enjoy endless benefits.


    "Master Patel, perhaps we will have opportunities to collaborate in the future," Blaze Regret suddenly thought. The Patel family was the second most powerful force in Bloodstone Pass, just behind the Bloodprint Sect. The Blaze family''s business dealings also involved the Patel family; if they cooperated, the Blaze family could dominate the spirit beast market in Bloodstone Pass.


    The Blood Seal Sect primarily dealt with spirit herbs and medicinal materials, which didn''t conflict with spirit beast trading. Therefore, with the Patel family''s support, the Blaze family could thrive in Bloodstone Pass.


    "Oh? Then I''ll be waiting," Patel Rong replied with a faint smile. Given Blaze Regret''s talent, he was bound to become a third tier alchemist, possibly even a fourth or fifth tier. By then, even some major families in the central empire would likely set aside their pride to associate with him. This way, the Patel family had indeed struck a great deal.


    "By the way, if the Patel family needs anything in the future, feel free to contact me directly," Blaze Regret said, beckoning to Patel Shin. The latter was slightly stunned but quickly walked over.


    "Bring the Sound Transmission Conch," Blaze Regret instructed, taking out the conch from his void realms stone. A drop of liquid, as precious as a pearl, was poured into his palm.


    Patel Shin''s face flushed with excitement as he raised the Sound Transmission Conch slightly. With the infusion of spiritual power, the pearl like liquid swiftly flew over with a "whoosh" sound. In an instant, a faint and indistinct aura connected the two conches, then quickly dissipated.


    Seeing this, Patel Rong squinted slightly. It seemed that Blaze Regret had quite a favorable impression of Patel Shin; otherwise, he wouldn''t have taken such an action. In the future, if he wanted to contact Blaze Regret, he would have to go through Patel Shin, as only Patel Shin''s conch contained Blaze Regret''s communication imprint.


    "Patel Li, Patel Shin''s talent is unique in our Patel family. We need to focus on cultivating him from now on," Patel Rong turned and said with a faint smile to an elder clansman.


    "I understand," the elder named Patel Li nodded solemnly. If he lacked even this basic insight, he wouldn''t hold an important position in the Patel family.

    On one side of the hall, Patel Kin looked despondent. This treatment should have been his, but he had pushed it away with his own hands, leaving Patel Shin to reap the benefits.


    "Thank you, Master!" Patel Shin said joyfully, cupping his hands in salute. He knew that this day would mark a new beginning in his life.


    And it was all thanks to the black robed young man.


    "Master Patel, there are some things I wish to inquire about. Would it be convenient?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile, looking at Patel Rong.


    A hint of confusion flashed in Patel Rong''s eyes, but he waved his hand, and instantly, all the Patel family members in the hall left, leaving only Patel Rong and Blaze Regret.


    "You want to ask about the Dark Abyss, don''t you?" Patel Rong said slowly.


    "That''s right. As far as I know, where there is the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, there must be a Netherworld Essense accompanying it. I wonder if that Netherworld Essense is in your possession?" Blaze Regret asked expectantly. S§×ar?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Netherworld Essense?" Patel Rong touched his chin and thought for a moment before gently shaking his head. "If that spiritual herb is called the Netherworld Essense, I believe it is currently in the hands of the Stun Family. Back then, seven factions ventured into the Dark Abyss together, but only the Blood Seal Gate, the Jack family, the Patel family, and the Stun Family emerged alive."


    "The Stun Family?" Blaze Regret furrowed his brows tightly.


    "That''s right. At that time, the master of the Blood Seal Gate obtained a rare spirit beast in the Dark Abyss and was the first to leave. The Jack family suffered great losses and likely did not have the strength to harvest the spiritual herbs. Thus, the Stun Family is the most logical candidate," Patel Rong explained.


    "Is the Dark Abyss very dangerous?" Blaze Regret asked curiously again.


    "Hehe, let me put it this way. During the Blood Stone Pass, there were eight factions, seven of which entered the Dark Abyss. Since then, three factions have completely disappeared from the Blood Stone Pass. Apart from the Blood Seal Gate, the remaining factions all suffered varying degrees of losses," Patel Rong sighed with a sense of regret.


    "And the eighth faction?" Blaze Regret asked, rubbing his face.


    "The remaining faction was the Walker family. Because they offended the Blood Seal Gate, their master, Walker Sub, was killed that night. Now, the Walker family''s status is barely above the Jack family''s. Of course, if you hadn''t appeared today, my Patel family would probably be at the bottom," Patel Rong said, his voice tinged with gratitude.


    Blaze Regret nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flashing slightly. It seemed that if he wanted to find the Ghost Face Stigma, the Stun Family was his only lead. He just didn''t know what conditions they would set.


    "Young friend, you aren''t thinking of venturing into the Dark Abyss, are you?" Patel Rong''s face slightly changed as if he had suddenly thought of something, and his tone was rather tense.


    "I don''t have such plans for now, but maybe in the future," Blaze Regret nodded.


    "You mustn''t! Although your strength isn''t weak in the Blood Stone Pass, the Dark Abyss is home to many lord level spirit beasts, and there are many eerie places. A single misstep could lead to your demise," Patel Rong shook his head repeatedly without a second thought.


    He had just managed to befriend a second grade alchemist; naturally, he didn''t want to see Blaze Regret throw his life away.


    "It''s just a thought for now. I won''t venture down there recklessly without being fully prepared."


    Blaze Regret stood up, cupped his hands in a salute to Patel Rong, and smiled, "No need to see me off, Master Patel. Farewell."


    Patel Rong''s lips moved slightly as he watched Blaze Regret''s departing figure, but he could only sigh helplessly. He hoped that the young man really was just thinking about it, as the horrors of the Dark Abyss were far beyond his imagination.


    "Blood Seal Gate, Patel family, Jack family, Stun Family, Walker family."


    As Blaze Regret walked out of the Patel family gate, the names of these factions kept alternating in his mind. In the entire Blood Stone Pass, these were the powers that could be considered noteworthy. Among them, the Blood Seal Gate was undoubtedly the strongest, while the Jack family was likely the weakest.


    As for the Stun Family and the Walker family, he had not yet had any contact with them. The vastness of the Blood Stone Pass far surpassed that of Velorian City, and each faction maintained a respectful distance from one another. Thus, Blaze Regret hadn''t heard of any major incidents happening so far.


    "Roar!"


    The Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder rubbed its sleepy eyes and instantly became extremely spirited.


    "After resting for the night, there''s no slacking off today," Blaze Regret chuckled, pinching the Red''s ears. He then retrieved a map from the void realm stone, which marked all the regions of the Blood Stone Pass.


    Looking at a mountain like mark on the map, Blaze Regret nodded slightly. With a flick of his right hand, the map rolled up into a scroll, which he then tossed back into the void realm stone.


    "Tonight, I''ll spend the night at Bloodstone Mountain," Blaze Regret whispered, his figure swiftly disappearing from the street.


    Unlike Velorian City, the Bloodstone Pass was entirely an unorganized area, with not even the most basic city walls constructed around it. Instead, it was surrounded by pitch black mountain ranges, and even at night, the faint roars of spirit beasts could be heard within the town.


    Standing at the edge of the mountains, Blaze Regret looked at the white powder on the ground with some curiosity. The powder formed a ring like boundary, separating the interior of the Bloodstone Pass from the mountains.


    "Repellent Powder?"


    Picking up a bit of the powder, Blaze Regret sniffed it lightly under his nose and immediately understood.

 Chapter 236 - 236 Revenge

    Repellent Powder is derived from the Repellent Flower, and all spirit beasts find its scent extremely repulsive. Just a whiff would make them avoid it from a distance. Seeing the distressed look on the Red''s face, it was clear how unbearable the scent was for it.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret walked into the mountains. No wonder the Bloodstone Pass, surrounded by mountains, remained undisturbed it was the effect of this Repellent Powder.


    Taking in the familiar scent of the trees, Blaze Regret inhaled a deep breath of pure air. Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound of something cutting through the air quickly approached from behind.


    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret stomped on the ground and retreated rapidly. Sharp leaves embedded themselves in the ground, spreading towards where Blaze Regret had been standing.


    Coming to a halt, Blaze Regret raised his face, his eyes cold as he looked into the distance. The last leaf landed just in front of his toes.


    "Little brother, we meet again."


    Floating in mid air, Star Megami looked at Blaze Regret with a smile. Beneath him was a thick branch, and at the other end of the branch was a robust spirit tree. It was evident that this was Star Megami''s spirit beast, the Demon Spirit Tree.


    Lightly pursing his lips, a glint of coldness flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. This old man, Star Megami, had troubled him several times at the Patel family, and now he dared to show up again.


    "Little brother, I admit your alchemy skills are impressive, but your strength may not match your alchemy prowess. Hand over the seeds of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, and today, you may live," Star Megami said indifferently, his tone filled with arrogance.


    "With just your strength as a third tier Spirit Imperial Master?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly.


    Not to mention a third tier Spirit Imperial Master, even a sixth tier Spirit Imperial Master wouldn''t have the right to be arrogant in front of him now. After all, the power of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros was something even some sixth tier spirit Imperial beasts could hardly withstand.


    "So, it seems you are unwilling?"


    Star Megami''s figure moved, descending from the branch of the Demon Spirit Tree to the ground. A trace of cold murderous intent appeared on his old face. "Since that''s the case, don''t blame this old man for being ruthless. Besides, it''s about time we settled the score with the Patel family."


    Just as Star Megami''s cold voice fell, the demon spirit tree began to move, its dense roots writhing and spreading out. Branches extended, instantly growing to a length of tens of meters, and shot towards Red like a violent storm.


    The tips of the branches glowed with an extremely sharp luster, resembling dazzling cold stars.


    "Swoosh!"


    With a light push of its foot, Red leaped off Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Its body spun, and a pale yellow whirlwind of flames roared around it, shredding the incoming branches into pieces of charred wood.


    "A second rank high level Imperial grade spirit beast!" Upon witnessing this, Star Megami''s expression turned grim. He had thought that, given Blaze Regret''s age, Blaze Regret would at most be a spirit warrior grade. Who could have imagined that Blaze Regret not only possessed extraordinary alchemical skills but also formidable strength?


    "Red, finish it off," Blaze Regret said calmly, clearly not intending to waste time with Star Megami.


    "Arrogant!" Star Megami''s anger surged upon hearing this. After all, he was a third rank spirit Imperial master, yet Blaze Regret treated him as if he were conversing with an ant.


    "Demon Spirit Tree, Thousand Leaf Storm!"


    Star Megami''s angry voice echoed. The enormous body of the demon spirit tree trembled, and a large number of leaves detached from its branches, floating in mid air. They then shot down towards Red like a fierce storm.


    With a slight step forward, Red suddenly charged, the pale yellow flames on its body causing the sharp leaves to curl up, turning black and eventually disintegrating into ashes.


    "What kind of flame is this? Why is it so overpowering?" Star Megami''s withered hand trembled, and a look of regret appeared on his face. Wood type spirit beasts were inherently weak against fire type spirit beasts, especially when their strengths were comparable.


    "Howl!"


    With a crisp low cry, Red swiftly darted out from the sea of leaves. A pale yellow flame flickered in its eyes, and then two scorching beams of fire shot out, piercing through the body of the demon spirit tree.


    The demon spirit tree stood there, motionless. Through the two transparent holes in its body, one could even see Star Megami''s horrified face.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of something hard shattering echoed through the air. The spirit core of the demon spirit tree had broken with a crisp crack. It was evident that Red had precisely targeted the spirit core. The body of the demon spirit tree seemed as fragile as paper before Red''s ferocious flames.


    With his arms crossed over his chest, Blaze Regret leaned against the trunk of an ancient tree, a faint cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth. The elemental advantage of fire over wood was overwhelming. The demon spirit tree, being only a mid tier third rank Imperial grade spirit beast, was no match for Red. Even if it were a sixth rank beast, it would still be easily defeated by Red.


    It''s important not to forget that Red was a high tier Imperial grade spirit beast. This rank advantage gave it a significant edge over mid tier Imperial grade spirit beasts.


    Moreover, the suppression in spiritual techniques granted Red the ability to challenge and defeat higher ranked opponents.


    Although the demon spirit tree was dead, its body still stood tall. Red walked past it slowly, its emotionless eyes coldly fixed on Star Megami.


    "Spare me! I have three second grade alchemical recipes here. I''ll give them all to you!" Star Megami shouted, a bone chilling fear surging from his heart as Red approached him ever closer.

 Chapter 237 - 237 Beacon Fire Tiger

    "Kill," Blaze Regret said flatly, not even glancing at Star Megami.


    Raising its claws, Red bent its body slightly, and then leaped into the air. A fierce gust of wind mercilessly swept towards Star Megami''s throat.


    "Whoosh!" Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A somewhat blinding sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came from above. Red''s pupils contracted sharply, and its body twisted mid air. A scorching trail of fire grazed its body and plunged fiercely into the ground.


    Landing on the ground, Red''s gaze turned icy as it stared at a figure not far away. It was a fire Tiger, but it stood upright like a human, with crimson flames burning rapidly on its shoulders.


    Pulling its paw out of the ground, the fire Tiger slowly straightened up and nonchalantly brushed the dirt off its paw, not paying any attention to the others present. Its demeanor was rather cold and detached.


    "Beacon Fire Tiger?" Blaze Regret''s gaze finally turned serious. This suddenly appearing spirit beast possessed the strength of a high tier fifth rank Imperial grade, which meant its master must be a significant figure in Bloodstone Pass.


    "Tsk tsk, old friend Star Megami, I''ve told you not to be so hasty. This kid is not as easy to deal with as you might think."


    From within the woods, an elderly figure with hands clasped behind his back walked out with a smile on his face. It was none other than Swith Mark.


    "A fifth rank spirit Imperial master," a glint of sharpness flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. When he had encountered Swith Mark at the Patel family, Swith Mark hadn''t seemed much stronger than Star Megami. Now it was clear that Swith Mark had been concealing his true strength.


    However, Blaze Regret had inquired about the powerful figures in Bloodstone Pass just the day before, and Swith Mark''s name had not come up.


    "You finally came. This kid killed my demon spirit tree. Hurry up and slaughter him!" Star Megami turned his head, his gaze towards Blaze Regret filled with malice, and his tone became exceedingly arrogant, bolstered by Swith Mark''s support.


    "A Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat quite a remarkable spirit beast," Swith Mark remarked with a hint of amusement as he walked over to the Beacon Fire Tiger. His voice carried a playful undertone.


    In truth, Swith Mark had arrived before the battle between Red and the demon spirit tree had even begun. He had simply refrained from intervening until he had assessed Blaze Regret''s true strength. Now, seeing Blaze Regret''s capabilities, he felt assured enough to reveal himself. A second rank spirit Imperial master posed no threat to his fifth rank Spirit Imperial master power.


    "If it were anyone else, I might let them go after taking their belongings. But not you. I had planned for so long, intending to add something to the medicinal liquid to get rid of that old man Patel Rong. But you disrupted my plans," Swith Mark said, his gaze growing colder and a strong killing intent emerging in his eyes.


    "Well, I''m honored," Blaze Regret replied with a calm smile, his expression as composed as ever.


    "Courting death!" At Blaze Regret''s nonchalant demeanor, a surge of fury rose in Swith Mark''s eyes, and his cold shout echoed through the forest.


    "Beacon Fire Tiger, kill him for me!"


    Hearing the command, the Beacon Fire Tiger finally lifted its face. Its claws, as sharp as steel, shot out from between its fingers with a sudden snap, emitting a cold gleam that made Red squint slightly.


    "Howl!"


    With a slight shudder, Red let out a low growl. Three pale yellow streams of flame swiftly circled its body. The leaves above it caught fire with a whoosh, and the scattered leaves around it were swept away by the sudden surge of Red''s aura.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense.


    With a calm gaze, he looked at Red. The Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws clenched slightly, and a violent burst of scorching spiritual power erupted, rippling outwards in waves.


    "Bang!"


    With a heavy stomp, accompanied by a loud explosion, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s figure flashed and appeared in front of Red. Its sharp claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind, slashed down towards Red.


    Feeling the force of the wind above, Red''s eyes grew slightly serious. It raised its claws and collided fiercely with the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws. Sparks flew, and the screeching sound of metal against metal echoed through the forest, making one''s scalp tingle.


    "Howl!"


    Red''s foot stepped to the right, causing the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws to miss. Red then swiftly retreated, and two pale yellow beams of flame shot out from its eyes, cutting through the air and blasting towards the Beacon Fire Tiger.


    Seeing the lightning fast attack, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s expression remained calm. It crossed its claws, letting the scorching flame beams hit them squarely.


    "Bang!"


    The crossed claws collided with the flame beams. In front of the Beacon Fire Tiger, rings of tangible pale yellow energy spread outwards. Meanwhile, its body was forced to retreat wildly, its toes digging into the ground and leaving long cracks.


    Shaking its head, Red''s eyes regained clarity. Looking at the Beacon Fire Tiger, which was gently shaking its claws, its expression turned exceptionally stern. The gap in their ranks meant it couldn''t inflict significant damage on the Beacon Fire Tiger.


    "Not bad with the spiritual technique. Now it''s my turn."


    Swith Mark smiled coldly. "Beacon Fire Tiger, use the Scorching Claw to tear that Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat apart."


    Nodding slightly, the Beacon Fire Tiger flicked its wrist, and crimson flames quickly coiled around its sharp claws. With a sudden swing, the air in front of it was torn apart by three fiery red streaks.


    A scorching gust of wind rushed forward. Seeing the Beacon Fire Tiger''s terrifying strike, Red advanced instead of retreating. Stepping on a protruding rock, it leaped high into the air. In its pupils, a barely noticeable flame quietly appeared.

 Chapter 238 - 238 Beacon Fire Tiger 2

    In an instant, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws froze in mid air, its eyes filled with confusion. Seizing the opportunity, Red struck its right eye with a fierce claw.


    "Roar!"


    The pain radiating from its face snapped the Beacon Fire Tiger back to reality. Its right eye, now bloodshot, drove it into a frenzy. Its furious howl caused some nearby spiritual beasts to tremble in fear.


    "Damn it," Swith Mark''s eyes flashed with cold light. He hadn''t expected that Blaze Regret''s Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat had a spiritual technique capable of inducing illusions in spiritual beasts, causing his Beacon Fire Tiger to suffer such severe injuries.


    However, as an alchemist, he was confident in his ability to heal such wounds. Quickly calming his mind, Swith Mark''s icy voice rang out.


    "Use the Hell Flame Pillar to force that Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat back."


    Hearing this, the Beacon Fire Tiger stomped on the ground, and three crimson flames surged upwards, rapidly spiraling into three towering fire pillars, emitting an intense heat.


    With a wave of its claws, the three fire pillars roared forward, skimming the ground and leaving afterimages in their wake. Moments later, they surrounded Red and crashed into it.


    Seeing no way to escape, Red''s eyes slowly closed. A blazing sun mark appeared in the center of its forehead, emitting a burst of intense light that enveloped it, forming a solid light shield.


    Seeing this, Swith Mark''s eyes showed a hint of surprise. Although in his perception it wasn''t any specific spiritual technique, the level of defense was already comparable to some high level Imperial grade spiritual techniques.


    Blaze Regret watched calmly. Ever since Red reached the novice grade, it had been able to condense flames into a light shield, enduring a direct hit from the Ghost faced Flower. Since breaking through to the Imperial Grade, Red''s mastery of this technique had become even more refined, allowing it to release the shield autonomously.


    "Boom!"


    The flame pillar collided with the pale yellow light shield, causing a violent shockwave that swept outward. The surrounding trees snapped in half, falling limply to the ground.


    The light pillar shattered, and cracks rapidly spread across the light shield surrounding Red. In an instant, the entire shield was covered in fissures before bursting apart with a loud bang, scattering into countless light fragments.


    "Impressive," Swith Mark''s face darkened slightly. He had thought that this move would be enough to kill Red on the spot, but the latter''s endless array of spiritual techniques continuously challenged the dignity of his fifth tier Spirit Imperial Master status.


    Especially considering both sides were fire element spirit master.


    "If that''s the case, let''s try this move."


    A sinister smile appeared on Swith Mark''s lips. "Beacon Fire Tiger, Flame Spiral Thrust!"


    With his arm extended, the Beacon Fire Tiger coldly stared ahead. Its claws stirred slightly, causing crimson flames to coil around them, forming a wide spiral flame spike as they rotated.


    The tip of the spiral flame spike, resembling a sharp drill bit, spun rapidly, producing a piercing sound that echoed constantly.


    With a slight backward stretch of its arm, the Beacon Fire Tiger suddenly thrust its claw forward. The crimson spiral flame spike detached from its claw, whirling furiously towards Red.


    Taking a deep breath, Red spread its claws, and three flame spikes rings appeared in mid air. With a flash of pale yellow light, a fourth flame spikes ring condensed, rotating slowly but shining brighter than the first three.


    Clapping its claws together, Red fused the four sharp flame spikes rings into a single, three foot wide light wheel. With a humming sound, the light wheel shot out, rapidly meeting the spiraling flame spike head on.


    "Bang!"


    Under several tense gazes, the light wheel formed from the four flame spikes rings collided heavily with the fierce spiraling flame spike. A powerful wave of spiritual energy swept out from the impact.


    At the point of collision, the entire ground caved in, and as the dust settled, Red suddenly shot out, darting around the Beacon Fire Tiger with lightning speed.


    "Buzz!"


    As Red flashed swiftly, several dazzling flame crystal pillars appeared around the Beacon Fire Tiger, and with a swish, they stabbed down fiercely.


    Driving Red back with a swipe, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s body spun rapidly. Its wildly swinging claws created a web of blades, shredding the sharp flame crystal pillars into fragments.


    Panting heavily, the Beacon Fire Tiger looked at the nearly exhausted Red, its sharp claws twitching slightly.


    "What other tricks do you have?" Swith Mark looked at Blaze Regret, a provocative smirk on his lips. Even at the same level, the Beacon Fire Tiger was not inferior to the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, and his Beacon Fire Tiger was two tiers higher.


    "It is indeed troublesome," Blaze Regret sighed softly. Red''s spiritual techniques were strong, but so were the Beacon Fire Tiger''s. A fifth tier Beacon Fire Tiger likely had even more terrifying techniques yet to be used. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "In that case, let me introduce you to a new friend."


    Gently placing the weakened Red on his shoulder, Blaze Regret quickly formed hand seals. The faint smile at the corner of his mouth made Swith Mark''s heart skip a beat.


    A silver summoning array quickly sketched itself in the air. Moments later, a powerful paw slowly stepped out from it, followed by a figure clad in what seemed to be full silver armor, appearing in the forest.


    Lifting its head, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros looked at the Beacon Fire Tiger, a faint smile curving its lips.


    "A Tier Five Imperial grade Spirit Beast!" Swith Mark''s eyelid twitched violently, and a shiver ran through his body. Isn''t this kid a Tier Two Spirit Imperial Master? How could he have a Tier Five Imperial grade Spirit Beast!


    Typically, a Spirit Master''s strength is equivalent to their spirit beast''s tier, as the capacity of the Spirit portal determines that it can only accommodate spirit beasts of the same tier. Trying to tame a higher tier beast usually results in the Spirit portal shattering.

 Chapter 239 - 239 Beacon Fire Tiger 3

    What Swith Mark didn''t know was that Blaze Regret''s spiritual power had always been higher than that of his peers. Three years of accumulation had laid a foundation that others could hardly match.


    "Rock attribute? This kid is a dual source Spirit Master!" Star Megami trembled all over. If it were any other attribute, it would be manageable, but rock type spirit beasts restrain fire type ones. Unless something unexpected happens, the Beacon Fire Tiger would surely die today.


    Without thinking, Star Megami''s feet moved backward, and taking advantage of Blaze Regret and Swith Mark''s distraction, he turned and slipped into the forest. At this point, escaping was the most sensible choice.


    "Heh, so what if it''s a rock type spirit beast? It''s not like I haven''t killed one before."


    Swith Mark steadied his mind and said forcefully, "Beacon Fire Tiger, charge and kill him directly!"


    With a sudden vicious gleam in its eyes, the Beacon Fire Tiger darted forward like lightning. Its claws drew three fiery arcs in the air, slashing towards the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros'' face.


    "Bang!"


    However, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros merely lifted its hand indifferently, and the charging Beacon Fire Tiger was sent flying backward, sliding tens of meters before stabilizing itself.


    Having been repelled effortlessly, madness surged in the Beacon Fire Tiger''s eyes. It darted forward again, its claws swinging rapidly, creating afterimages as it aimed at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros'' vital points.


    Even though the Beacon Fire Tiger''s attacks were frenzied, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros remained as steadfast as a boulder, standing there quietly. Each time it swung its palm, the Beacon Fire Tiger was instantly sent flying back, as effortlessly as swatting a fly.


    As the Beacon Fire Tiger continued its relentless assaults, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros finally showed a hint of impatience in its eyes. With a large hand, it grasped the Beacon Fire Tiger''s claws, squeezing slightly downward. The Beacon Fire Tiger was forced to its knees with a resounding crash, cracks spreading from beneath its knees.


    "Damn it!" Swith Mark''s breathing became rapid, and large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He knew very well what awaited him if the Beacon Fire Tiger were killed.


    "Howl!"


    Kneeling in an utterly humiliating posture, the Beacon Fire Tiger let out an angry roar. A scorching aura burst forth from its body, and at that moment, its strength surged to Tier Six Imperial grade!


    "A breakthrough?" Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow in surprise, not expecting the Beacon Fire Tiger to break through under such circumstances.


    "Haha, the heavens haven''t forsaken me! Kid, your luck is really not that good!" Swith Mark was momentarily stunned, then burst into wild laughter, feeling a wave of relief and exhilaration.


    "Swish!"


    With a swift motion, the Beacon Fire Tiger withdrew its claws and retreated rapidly, fixing a deadly stare on the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros. The killing intent in its eyes was almost tangible.


    Facing the Beacon Fire Tiger''s intense killing intent, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros merely raised its palm slowly and beckoned lightly, as if to say that the Beacon Fire Tiger before and after the breakthrough was no different.


    Gritting its teeth, the Beacon Fire Tiger crossed its claws over its chest. A fierce blaze erupted, rapidly condensing in front of its paws. The temperature in the area soared dramatically.


    "Swish!"


    With a swift motion of its claws, the Beacon Fire Tiger unleashed two massive, crimson beams of fire that intersected and surged forward violently, the sound of blazing flames echoing through the mountains and forests.


    This was a high level Imperial tier spirit technique: Blazing Burst Claw!


    Watching the intersecting beams of fire, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fist tightly before swinging it fiercely, striking the incoming flames. Instantly, a deep explosion resounded throughout the entire mountain range.


    "Boom!"


    After a brief moment of silence, a fierce shockwave erupted, rapidly sweeping across the area. Trees within a ten meter radius were instantly demolished, their trunks snapping and falling to the ground, while countless dry branches and leaves scattered into the air.


    As the wind dissipated, the sturdy figure of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros emerged. It calmly flexed its palm, producing cracking sounds, and its silver armor remained as bright as ever.


    Swallowing hard, Swith Mark''s face was drenched in sweat. The Beacon Fire Tiger''s strongest attack hadn''t left a single mark on the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros!


    Seeing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s indifferent demeanor, the Beacon Fire Tiger''s eyes sharpened. It leaped into the air, with blazing flames igniting beneath its right foot. Its entire body then shot downward like a meteor, tearing through the air towards the silver figure below.


    The Beacon Fire Tiger''s speed was incredibly swift, leaving a trail of fiery light in its wake.


    A spirit technique: Sky Shattering Step!


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros slightly lifted its eyelids, watching the Beacon Fire Tiger''s ferocious kick. It calmly raised its palm and, with a sudden twist, caught the Beacon Fire Tiger''s ankle firmly in its grasp.


    The Beacon Fire Tiger''s pupils constricted instantly.


    "Boom!"


    With a swift motion, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros swung its arm, slamming the Beacon Fire Tiger''s body heavily onto the ground. A web of cracks instantly appeared beneath it. Without pause, it lifted the Beacon Fire Tiger high and hurled it in another direction with lightning speed. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For a moment, the entire forest echoed with the repeated thuds of a heavy object hitting the ground, causing the earth to tremble continuously.


    Watching the Beacon Fire Tiger being tossed around like a ragdoll, Swith Mark''s eyes trembled. His regret now was no less than Star Megami''s earlier. If he could do it over again, he would rather have never stepped into the Patel family''s gate today.


    After glancing at the lifeless Beacon Fire Tiger, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros disdainfully flicked its hand, and the Beacon Fire Tiger''s body fell to the ground, rolling a few times before coming to a powerless stop.

 Chapter 240 - 240 Black Nether Qi

    Turning around, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros silently looked at Blaze Regret, as if it were not it true Spirit Master.


    With a helpless shrug, Blaze Regret opened his palm, and a silver spirit portal materialized, drawing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros back in.


    Seizing the moment while Blaze Regret was retrieving the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Swith Mark turned and ran desperately. But in the next instant, a gleaming ice blade pierced through his chest, embedding itself into a tree trunk with traces of blood.


    "If you want to take someone else''s life, you must be prepared to lose your own."


    Blaze Regret clapped his hands, and his calm voice echoed quietly through the forest.


    In the silent mountains, towering trees stretched their dense branches and leaves, resembling giant green umbrellas. Beneath one of these umbrellas, a panicked figure hurriedly dashed forward, the fear of a narrow escape still etched on his face.


    "Damn it, that little brat is only a second tier spirit Imperial master, yet he possesses a fifth tier high ranking Imperial grade spirit beast. If not for that, he would have already died at Swith Mark''s hands, and I wouldn''t be in such a sorry state."


    A low, vicious curse repeatedly emanated from Star Megami''s mouth, filled with intense killing intent that sent chills down one''s spine.


    "However, your triumph will only last a few days. I have always been on good terms with the Blood Seal Sect''s leader. As soon as I reach a range where I can use the Sound Transmitting Conch, I will make your life a living hell!" Star Megami''s eyes were filled with venomous hatred.


    "Swish!" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as Star Megami''s harsh voice fell, a pale yellow figure suddenly leaped out from the dense forest. With a slight twist of its body, its threr tail, as sharp as a blade, mercilessly slashed across Star Megami''s throat.


    As his body gradually came to a halt, Star Megami looked at the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat crouching in front of him. His face turned ashen as he opened his mouth, and a jet of blood suddenly spurted out, staining the ground red. His body collapsed weakly onto the ground.


    Shaking its furry little ears, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, Red, walked out slowly, picked up Star Megami''s void realms stone with its mouth, and instantly vanished from the scene.


    As Red departed, several spiritual beasts that had been waiting approached with ferocious eyes. Their bloody mouths opened, emitting a foul stench as they viciously tore into the dying Star Megami.


    With his face pressed tightly against the ground, Star Megami struggled to open his mouth but couldn''t make a sound. His eyes, gradually losing their vitality, were filled with terror.


    "This Swith Mark really had quite a fortune."


    Scanning the void realms stone in his hand with his spiritual sense, Blaze Regret gave a faint smile. He then bent down and took Star Megami''s void realms stone from the mouth of the returning Red.


    "A map?" Blaze Regret opened the void realms stone and discovered a paper full of markings inside. Surprised, he spread it open.


    As he scanned the map, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually turned to one of extreme delight. The map marked the locations of many spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, as well as several dangerous areas. With this, he would no longer need to go to great lengths to find what he was looking for in the future.


    After collecting both void realms stones, Blaze Regret cast a fleeting glance at Swith Mark''s corpse, then turned and walked into the mountains without looking back.


    The night deepened.


    Leaning against the trunk of a towering ancient tree, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground, carefully reading a thick ancient book. Several small night glow fireflies hovered above the pages, emitting a faint glow.


    "To catalyze the seeds of the Mystic Fragrance Grass is so troublesome," Blaze Regret murmured, frowning slightly.


    According to the ancient book, the seeds of the Mystic Fragrance Grass could be quickly ripened using the Black Nether Qi from the Black Nether Abyss. However, this method was quite impractical for him at the moment; even Patel Rong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master, had stumbled inside. If he rashly ventured in, he might not even know how he died.


    "Black Nether Grass?" Blaze Regret continued flipping through the book, his eyes suddenly lighting up. It turned out that in Bloodstone Pass, not only did the Black Nether Abyss contain Black Nether Qi, but decades ago, several Black Nether Grass plants that had advanced to the Imperial grade had crawled out of the abyss and rapidly propagated in the nearby forest.


    The leaf pods at the ends of their leaves could also produce a small amount of Black Nether Qi.


    Although the quality couldn''t compare to pure Black Nether Qi, it was still barely sufficient to catalyze a single seed of the Mystic Fragrance Grass.


    "Opening a new spiritual portal is indeed not as easy as imagined," Blaze Regret sighed softly. But the thought of being able to tame another spiritual beast with an additional spiritual portal made his heart race with excitement.


    "Right, that map..."


    As if suddenly remembering something, Blaze Regret''s heart stirred. With a flash of light from the void realms stone, the map drawn by Star Megami appeared in his hand. After a moment, he finally found the mark for the Black Nether Grass in an inconspicuous corner.


    "Just as I suspected, the gathering place of the Black Nether Grass is also classified as a dangerous area. Once I advance to a fifth tier spirit imperial master, I''ll make a trip there," Blaze Regret said with a pleased grin.


    Although the Black Nether Grass had left the Black Nether Abyss, its strength remained formidable. According to the map''s markings, the highest ranked plant within the Black Nether Grass group was of the seventh tier imperial grade, while most of the others were around the fifth tier imperial grade spirit beast level.


    Ordinary spirit masters venturing there might enter, but they likely wouldn''t make it out alive.

 Chapter 241 - 241 Third Grade Alchemist

    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret rotated his palm, and the figure of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros appeared in the clearing. Without any hesitation, it charged into the deep mountains, and in an instant, the wild roars of beasts echoed continuously.


    Blaze Regret flicked Red''s little head, and the latter, after scratching its head with a grimace, followed the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s lead. The strongest spirit beasts in Bloodstone Mountain were only at the seventh tier Imperial grade, making it an ideal place for them to enhance their strength.


    As his hand brushed over the void realms stone, a pill cauldron appeared before Blaze Regret. He was currently situated at the edge of Bloodstone Mountain, where even imperial grade spirit beasts were rare, allowing him to focus on refining his alchemy skills without worry.


    The wind blew, and yellow leaves fell.


    In the blink of an eye, several days passed swiftly.


    Under the ancient tree, Blaze Regret sat with his eyes tightly closed, resembling a meditative monk. Withered leaves covered his head and shoulders, while his black robe had accumulated a layer of dust from sitting for days, giving him a rather unkempt appearance.


    As for the pill cauldron, he had long since stored it back in the void realms stone. His understanding of alchemy had reached the limit of a second tier alchemist, and further refining pills would no longer benefit his alchemical skills. He could only rely on his own insights.


    "Jack Fang, that person seems so strange."


    Two figures passed through the forest, but upon seeing Blaze Regret sitting motionless, the female among them blinked her long eyelashes in surprise.


    "Some people without abilities can''t find proper training grounds, so they have to resort to this. Even the lowest servants in my Jack family have better training environments than he does," said the youth named Jack Fang, curling his lips with disdain and an obvious sense of superiority in his tone.


    "He looks quite handsome, but unfortunately, his strength is too weak. He probably doesn''t have any significant background," the woman''s bright eyes lingered on Blaze Regret for a moment before she shook her head internally.


    She was interested in Jack Fang primarily for better cultivation resources, and evidently, Blaze Regret''s appearance didn''t make an impression on her.


    "Sri Tasha, let''s go quickly. Just looking at that pathetic appearance makes me uncomfortable," Jack Fang said impatiently, waving his hand. The woman nodded and hurriedly followed him.


    The sun rose and set. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Several more days passed.


    Blaze Regret remained quietly sitting cross legged, as still as a sculpture, save for the faint sound of his even breathing.


    "So this is the enormous difference between a third grade alchemist and a second grade one. No wonder the entire Velorian City can''t produce even one," Blaze Regret murmured as his eyelids suddenly opened, a fleeting spark of flame flashing in his eyes.


    He had finally crossed the chasm like threshold and officially entered the realm of a third grade spirit master.


    "Friends, since you''re here, why hide anymore?"


    As Blaze Regret''s voice echoed through the forest, a rustling sound arose from all directions. Following it came countless sharp gusts of wind, moving with extreme swiftness. Even from a distance, Blaze Regret''s skin felt a piercing pain.


    With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Blaze Regret quickly rolled to the right. Several cold, gleaming blades mercilessly struck where he had just been, scattering wet soil.


    These were five Wind Splitting Mantises, all of the same size, each with strength around the third tier. Their hooked blades, sharp as guillotine knives, could easily split hard rocks.


    Supporting himself on the ground with one hand, Blaze Regret looked ahead with cold eyes. Immediately, he slapped his palm on the ground, leaping into the air. Several icy blades appeared before him, ripping through the air, shooting straight at the Wind Splitting Mantises.


    "Crack!"


    With a swing of their bladed claws, the icy blades, condensed from cold air, were split in half, the breaks smooth as mirrors.


    After shattering the ice blades, the Wind Splitting Mantises didn''t make another move. Instead, they flickered and withdrew to the surroundings. Next to each Mantis stood a man in black, each with an extremely gloomy expression.


    "Who are you?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, his voice unceremonious. Anyone would be quite angry at being suddenly attacked.


    "You don''t need to know who we are. Summon your spirit beast, and perhaps your death can be postponed a bit," one of the men in black said calmly.


    "There''s no need to summon my spirit beasts to deal with you." Blaze Regret''s expression was indifferent, but he smiled bitterly inside. If the Red and Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros were by his side, these third tier spirit Imperial masters wouldn''t be his match. But the current situation was very dire for him.


    "In that case, you can die now."


    As the words of the man in black fell, the Wind Splitting Mantises lunged forward again, their sharp claws tracing a cold gleam, aiming at Blaze Regret''s vital spots.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret felt a surge of emotions. These Wind Splitting Mantises were well coordinated, clearly trained. Yet he couldn''t recall when he had offended such a force.


    "Fire Sun Wall!"


    Feeling the fierce winds blowing from all directions, Blaze Regret instinctively spread his palms outward. Pale yellow flames surged around him, forming a barrier of light to fend off the ferocious attacks of the Wind-


    Splitting Mantises.


    "Clang!"


    Blade like claws struck the barrier with lightning speed. After a moment, cracks began to spread across its surface, and with a snap, it shattered completely.


    As the barrier broke, Blaze Regret swiftly ducked, slipping through the gaps between the mantises. He glanced at the blood seeping from his waist, looking grim. With the strength of a second tier spirit Imperial master, defending against even one Wind Splitting Mantis was his limit, let alone so many appearing at once.


    "You''re lucky, kid. Keep going."

 Chapter 242 - 242

    The calm voice of a man in black rang out. The Wind Splitting Mantises paused for a moment, then suddenly swung their claws, launching pale blue wind blades that shot out with a faint glow surrounding them.


    "Get out of my way!"


    With a grip of his palm, an ice blade, more refined than usual, formed in his hand. Blaze Regret swung it angrily, slicing the approaching wind blades in half.


    Even though he survived this round of attacks, Blaze Regret''s expression was grim. Blood trickled from his wrist, staining the soil beneath him.


    Anyone else in his place, even using a stronger spirit technique, would have perished. Trying to counter spirit beasts with spirit techniques was a fool''s errand, especially with the overwhelming numbers against him.


    "Such abundant spiritual power," the leading man in black remarked, surprised to see Blaze Regret fend off the Wind Splitting Mantises'' attack with an ice blade formed from his spiritual energy. Even he wouldn''t claim to do that, yet Blaze Regret, merely a second tier spirit Imperial master, had managed it.


    "But you still have to die," the man in black sneered coldly. Blaze Regret hadn''t summoned his spirit beast for so long, which could only mean one thing: something must have happened to his spirit beast. A spirit master without a spirit beast stood no chance against so many adversaries.


    Blaze Regret darted swiftly around the field, gritting his teeth as he pushed his spiritual energy to the limit. Yet, despite his efforts, the Wind Splitting Mantises'' claws still left bloodstained tracks on his body. If this continued, he would die from blood loss before the mantises could kill him.


    "Almost there, I can sense it. The Red and Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros are on their way here," a flicker of joy flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He unleashed his spiritual energy without reservation, forming ice blades to block the mantises'' movements.


    "What a troublesome guy. Wind-


    Splitting Mantises, use Wind Blast to pierce through him directly!" one of the men in black ordered with a vicious tone.


    "Hiss!"


    Upon hearing this, a Wind Splitting Mantis flapped its wings, closing in on Blaze Regret like a whirlwind. Its sharp claws suddenly extended, gleaming with a pale blue light, mercilessly aiming for Blaze Regret''s abdomen.


    "No way to dodge. If that''s the case, I''ll take it head on!"


    Clenching his teeth, Blaze Regret''s eyes showed a crazed determination. Flames spread under his feet and gathered at his fingertips, striking out like lightning. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Slash!"


    The cold claws pierced through Blaze Regret''s body, drawing a blood arrow. Just as the men in black began to smile, Blaze Regret''s fingers stabbed fiercely into the mantis''s neck.


    Pulling his fingers out, Blaze Regret used his hand like a blade, enduring the sharp pain from his abdomen to chop at the mantis''s limb. With a crisp crack, the mantis''s claw separated from its body, remaining embedded in Blaze Regret.


    The scene happened in an instant, and before the men in black could react, Blaze Regret had already retreated swiftly, gritting his teeth.


    "My Wind Splitting Mantis!" the man who had spoken earlier screamed in anguish. He never imagined Blaze Regret would risk severe injury to slay his spirit beast.


    "How did you do that?" the leading man in black asked coldly, staring at Blaze Regret. A second tier spirit Imprerial master shouldn''t have been able to kill a third tier Imperial grade Wind Splitting Mantis.


    "Because I just advanced to a third tier spirit Imperial master," Blaze Regret replied with a pained smile, as blood from his abdomen continued to flow along the mantis''s claw.


    "You are the first to earn my respect, but you still must die."


    As the judgmental words of the man in black fell, the remaining Wind Splitting Mantises shot out like lightning, their claws extending with a sharp snap, targeting Blaze Regret from every angle.


    However, just as the mantises were about to strike Blaze Regret down, an earth shattering roar of fury suddenly erupted from within the forest.


    "Roar!"


    The furious roar, like a thunderous explosion, left several men in black dizzy. A violent gust of wind followed, sweeping away the Wind splitting Mantises like a storm.


    "What is that!"


    The leading man in black barely had time to show his shock before a silver figure, accompanied by a sonic boom, rushed in from afar. It stomped a Wind splitting Mantis into the ground before it could escape.


    Its head was crushed under the foot of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and the Wind splitting Mantis struggled briefly before falling silent.


    Immediately, the scene fell into silence. Eyes filled with intense fear were fixed on the silver figure, and some of the men in black were already trembling uncontrollably.


    "A sixth tier... high level Imperial grade spirit beast..."


    The leading man in black swallowed hard. He couldn''t understand why this spirit beast would come to aid Blaze Regret, but it was clear that their fate was sealed today.


    "If you had come any later, you''d be collecting my corpse," Blaze Regret grinned, blood flowing like a river from his abdomen. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes flared with fury.


    "Bang!"


    As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped its foot, a rock pillar erupted from the ground, standing beside Blaze Regret to prevent him from collapsing.


    After a slight pause, Blaze Regret chuckled softly, resting one arm on the rock pillar while the other hand covered the Wind splitting Mantis''s blade embedded in his abdomen. With a swift motion, he pulled out the blood soaked blade.


    Gritting his teeth in pain, Blaze Regret retrieved some healing medicine from the void realms stone and poured it onto his wound, slowing the blood flow significantly.


    Upon seeing this, the leader of the men in black flinched. Such fierce resolve, even for someone used to living on the edge like him, was unparalleled. How resilient was this young man''s spirit?


    "Even though his Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros is sixth tier, we have the numbers. If we proceed cautiously, we can still take it down," the leader of the men in black reassured his terrified comrades, shouting sternly.

 Chapter 243 - 243

    However, just as his words left his mouth, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly sprang into action. Like a sweeping gale, it smashed the head of a Wind splitting Mantis with a single punch.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros then darted through the battlefield with incredible speed, each punch resulting in a Wind splitting Mantis''s death. Eventually, only one remained, caught firmly in its grasp, unable to move.


    "Wait, let''s talk!" the leader of the men in black finally shouted in panic. How could this Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros be so powerful? They had no chance against it!


    With a cold glance at the man in black, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lowered its head and violently tore the struggling Wind splitting Mantis in half. Its emerald green liquid splattered onto the ground like raindrops.


    "Retreat!"


    The leader of the men in black immediately shouted, and the terrified men beside him, already contemplating escape, turned and fled in panic upon hearing him.


    "Swish!"


    A sharp light flashed, and several blood lines spurted from the necks of the men in black, leaving only the leader standing frozen in place, too scared to move.


    Staring coldly at him, Red flicked its paw, and sharp claws shot out, slashing fiercely at him.


    Seeing yet another spirit beast appear, the man in black broke out in a cold sweat. He had known before coming that Blaze Regret had a second tier fire attributed spirit beast, and now it seemed this was the one.


    Yet its aura had clearly reached third tier, differing significantly from his intelligence.


    "Ugh!"


    Red let out a threatening low growl, prompting the man in black to quickly turn around and look at Blaze Regret, who remained calm. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Who sent you?" Blaze Regret asked calmly.


    "No one... ah!"


    Just as the man in black spoke, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros grabbed him upside down. Its strong right paw crushed the bones in his leg, and his agonizing scream pierced the silent night.


    "I don''t want to ask again," Blaze Regret said, pressing his hand lightly on his abdomen. His calm voice sent shivers down the man''s spine.


    "I was hired by the Jack family. Jack Nan sent me!" the man in black shouted in pain, gasping for breath.


    "Jack Nan." A cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. It seemed the previous incident hadn''t taught him enough of a lesson.


    "How did you find me?" Blaze Regret took a deep breath and continued questioning.


    He had been in Bloodstone Mountain for some time. If they intended to kill him, they wouldn''t have waited until now to act. The only explanation was that they didn''t initially know he was in Bloodstone Mountain.


    "It was Patel kin. The Mo family boy found out you had a grudge with the Jack family''s young master, so he went to Jack Nan and incited him to have you killed," the man in black shouted, enduring the pain.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s gaze turned icy.


    After leaving the Patel family, many Patel family members had seen his movements, but he didn''t pay it any mind. Who would have thought that Patel kin would be so twisted, wanting him dead just because he benefited Patel Shin?


    In truth, Patel kin''s arrogant attitude would have irked any second grade alchemist who wouldn''t let it slide easily. He never expected that sparing Patel kin would result in such enmity.


    "Where is he?" Blaze Regret asked, returning to his senses and looking coldly at the man in black, whose head was touching the ground.


    "Over in that direction, at the foot of Bloodstone Mountain," the man in black said, raising a trembling hand to point into the distance.


    Having obtained the information he wanted, Blaze Regret endured his pain and slowly walked in the direction the man in black had pointed, his eyes filled with an icy determination.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros glanced at Blaze Regret, then slammed its massive paw down, burying the screaming man in black into the ground. It lifted a large rock and smashed it down heavily.


    "Ugh!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s unsteady steps, Red transformed into its original form as the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat and moved in front of him, lifting him up entirely.


    Blaze Regret smiled and rubbed Red''s small ears. Behind him, the massive figure of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros followed slowly.


    ...


    "By now, that guy should be dead."


    Standing at the edge of the poison mist, Patel kin looked at the dark mountain peak with a vicious smile. If you had spoken kindly about me to the head of the family instead of helping Patel Shin, today''s events might have been avoided.


    In the distance, a black figure slowly emerged, its features obscured by the night.


    "Haha, he came out!"


    Seeing this scene, Patel kin laughed gleefully and rushed forward without a second thought.


    Amidst the cover of trees, a shadow slowly emerged. Patel Kin, who had been sprinting wildly, suddenly came to a gradual halt, his expression somewhat strange. Beneath the shadow seemed to be a small sun, gently shining.


    "No... impossible!" Patel Kin suddenly recalled something and screamed.


    "Bang!"


    A sound like a small mountain landing echoed, and Patel Kin shivered violently at the sight of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clad in silver armor, his face full of terror.


    "I ask, you answer," Blaze Regret''s calm voice rang out, carrying an undeniable tone that made Patel Kin nod continuously without even thinking.


    "Who is your master, and what is his strength?" Blaze Regret inquired.


    "Our master is named Jack mana, a sixth tier spirit Imperial Master, but just a few days ago, he broke through to the seventh tier." Patel Kin was clearly much more intimidated than those men in black. Upon seeing Blaze Regret''s cold eyes, he found it hard even to speak clearly.


    "Seventh tier, huh." Blaze Regret nodded lightly, then gently touched Red''s small ears. Understanding the gesture, Red moved its four beautiful paws slowly towards the inside of the Bloodstone Pass.

 Chapter 244 - 244

    Watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, Patel Kin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but then a strong sense of horror appeared on his face. A silver hand, carrying a massive shadow, slammed down on his head.


    "Bang!"


    Hearing the sound from behind, Blaze Regret, expressionless, touched the wound on his abdomen. The intense pain caused an unhealthy flush to rise on his face.


    "The Jack family, do you really think Blaze Regret is dead?" Cold light flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and a murderous intent swirled in his heart.


    With the spiritual portal open, Blaze Regret took the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros inside, then, supported by Red, entered the Bloodstone Pass.


    The most important thing now was to treat the abdominal wound, and then demand an explanation for the origin of this injury.


    Inside the Bloodstone Pass, the street was bustling with activity, illuminated by the glow of countless tiny lights and the figures moving back and forth.


    Blaze Regret glanced towards the Jack family''s direction, noticing numerous figures with not inconsiderable auras walking there with smiles on their faces. Retracting his gaze, a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.


    "Can you tell me if something is happening with the Jack family?" Blaze Regret asked as he guided Red to approach a young man.


    The young man initially looked a bit annoyed at being stopped so suddenly, but upon seeing the hundreds of gold coins floating in Blaze Regret''s hand, his face immediately brightened with a friendly smile.


    "Young brother, you might not know yet, but a few days ago, a genius emerged from the Jack family. At a young age, he broke through to become a spirit Imperial Master, quite an impressive feat," the young man said cheerfully as he pocketed the gold coins.


    "So that''s it," Blaze Regret nodded silently. Having a spirit Imperial Master emerge in the family was indeed a cause for celebration, even a remarkable achievement in Velorian City.


    Even in the Blaze family, which was under the protection of strong spirit Lord masters, the number of spirit Imperial master experts could be counted on one hand.


    "By the way, the person is named Jack Fang. I heard he brought back a beautiful young woman this time," the young man added, rubbing his hands together with an envious expression, leaving Blaze Regret somewhat speechless.


    After navigating through a few streets, Blaze Regret finally reached the signboard of the Clear Water Pavilion. It took him nearly ten breaths to dismount from Red''s back, after which he gently knocked on the tightly closed door.


    He held a certain degree of respect for Kartis Wave, as the latter was a formidable figure from his father''s generation. Being carried in by Red would undoubtedly be a rude gesture.


    "Come in."


    A lazy yet elegant voice echoed by his ear. Blaze Regret slightly pursed his lips and gently pushed open the door to the Clear Water Pavilion.


    "Creaaak~"


    As usual, Kartis Wave was lying lazily over the counter, his face relaxed and handsome enough to captivate many young women.


    "Injured?" Kartis Wave asked in surprise, noticing the nearly dried bloodstains on Blaze Regret''s abdomen.


    "Yeah, I got set up by a few guys," Blaze Regret nodded with a bitter smile. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Planning to get some payback?" Kartis Wave asked playfully.


    "I, Blaze Regret, usually don''t cause trouble, but if someone messes with me, they shouldn''t expect to get away with it," Blaze Regret affirmed.


    "Does it have to be today?" Kartis Wave stood up, and a clear water whirlpool swirled around him, faintly visible like a playful, transparent little snake.


    "A gentleman does not delay revenge," Blaze Regret declared confidently.


    "Haha, born from that old man Blaze Ash, how could you be a gentleman? It''s good enough you''re not a rogue," Kartis Wave laughed heartily, and Blaze Regret sheepishly scratched his head.


    Well, it seemed to be true after all.


    "Hold your breath."


    Kartis Wave suddenly looked at Blaze Regret, his fair hands swiftly forming seals. Several clear streams of water began to circulate around Blaze Regret''s body, transforming into a water sphere that enveloped him.


    With the crisp sound of flowing water, the blood scab on Blaze Regret''s abdomen gradually peeled away, merging into the water. As the wound became visible, the once clear water sphere turned completely red.


    Gritting his teeth tightly, Blaze Regret remained silent, having endured greater pain along the way. This was nothing in comparison.


    After a while, Kartis Wave retracted his hand, and the water sphere transformed back into several clear streams, returning to his sleeve. Meanwhile, a thick layer of blood scabs piled up in the soil of a nearby flower pot.


    "Thank you, Uncle Kartis," Blaze Regret expressed his gratitude with a bow, hesitating slightly before adding with some embarrassment, "I''m sorry."


    Bowing slightly, Kartis Wave waved his hand gently, only raising his head slowly after hearing the sound of a door creaking open.


    "Little guy, you''re just like your father, even trying to test me," Kartis Wave chuckled and shook his head. Blaze Regret''s actions didn''t annoy him; instead, they sparked a bit of fondness.


    This character was just like Blaze Ash back in the day.


    "Kartis Wave, a former powerhouse of the Sun Moon Empire, ascended to Spirit king forty years ago. His current strength is unknown, but one of his spirit beasts, Stari Linglong, possesses three healing type spirit techniques," Blaze Regret recited as he walked, while Red beside him looked on in confusion.


    Smiling, Blaze Regret patted Red''s head, feeling a sense of relief. The injury he had suffered was not in vain.


    Jack Family.


    Today, the Jack family was exceptionally lively. The head of the family, Jack mana, sat in the high seat, his face glowing with pride as he listened to the congratulations around him. All this was because his second son, Jack Fang, had recently broken through to become a spirit Imperial Master.


    A spirit Imperial Master of such an age was a first for the Jack family, making Jack mana''s old face shine with pride.

 Chapter 245 - 245 Shock

    "Old Mana, congratulations to you! You must drink this cup."


    At the banquet, a portly middle aged man cast an envious glance at Jack Fang. If their family could produce such a genius, they would certainly rise in prominence within Bloodstone Pass.


    "Oh, it''s nothing, just my son''s good fortune," Jack mana said with a smile, downing his drink. At that moment, the main door of the Jack family shook violently.


    "Bang!"


    The sturdy wooden door shattered loudly. Everyone in the Jack family looked on in surprise, seeing a youthful, handsome face slowly come into view under their gaze.


    "Excuse me, but could I join your gathering?"


    Sawdust flew everywhere, covering the entire Jack family courtyard like a rain of wood chips. Faces were filled with astonishment, except for the young man in a black robe, standing with a smile at the entrance.


    "Is it him?" Jack Feng and Sri Tasha exchanged glances, both noticing the shock in each other''s eyes. This was the same disheveled cultivator they had seen in Bloodstone Mountain.


    Is he out of his mind?


    The same thought echoed in everyone''s mind, and the looks directed at Blaze Regret were extremely peculiar. Where did he get the audacity to dare to knock on the Jack family''s door?


    Though the Jack family had suffered greatly in recent years due to the Black Abyss, their foundation still remained. Especially a few days ago, Jack Mana had broken through to become a seventh tier spirit Imperial master, suggesting that the Jack family might once again become a prominent family in the Bloodstone Pass.


    In the midst of everyone''s bewildered gazes, Blaze Regret stepped lightly, his entire body entering the Jack family''s premises.


    "How dare you!"


    Jack Mana finally reacted, slamming the table with his palm and standing up, his furious gaze locked on Blaze Regret as if to pierce through him. "Who are you really? If you don''t give me an explanation today, don''t think you''ll walk out of here!"


    Jack Mana''s angry voice rang out, while Jack Feng and Sri Tasha wore expressions of amusement. This kid probably didn''t understand what the Jack family represented. It wouldn''t be long before he paid a memorable price for his ignorance.


    On the other side of the table, Jack Nan sat with his head down, his palms sweating profusely. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    How did this kid survive and return? Doesn''t that mean the people sent to kill him all failed? But how is that possible?


    Blaze Regret was just a second tier spirit Imperial master, after all. Jack Nan couldn''t fathom what method Blaze Regret had used to eliminate them.


    "But since you''ve come to the Jack family, there''s no way out but death!" Jack Nan lifted his head in hatred, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible, eager to slay Blaze Regret on the spot.


    "An explanation?" Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, lifting his hand to reveal a gruesome wound, shocking everyone, even causing Jack Mana''s face to twitch involuntarily.


    What kind of deep seated hatred would drive someone to such ruthless measures?


    "I don''t know what happened, but since you broke down the Jack family''s door, you will pay the price," Jack Mana said, looking at the mess all around, his eyes glinting coldly. He clenched his hand, and countless ice crystals filled the air. Within them, a slender figure appeared, faintly visible.


    The figure resembled a woman with flowing blue hair, holding an ice bow in her hand. The bow was adorned with intricate, beautiful ice patterns.


    "It''s the Spirit of the Ice Arrow. Jack Mana''s spiritual power surged and he became a seventh tier spirit Imperial master after he subdued this spirit beast a few days ago!"


    At this sight, everyone in the courtyard hurriedly retreated, fearing they would be caught up in the impending battle.


    "A seventh tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast. Let''s see what you''ve got."


    Blaze Regret formed a seal with one hand, and the silver body of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros appeared in the courtyard, its battle hardened gaze fixed on the Ice Arrow Spirit. This creature was far more dangerous than the Beacon Fire Tiger.


    "Boom!"


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its foot and stomped hard on the ground. A violent gale swept out, carrying wood chips towards the onlookers. The wild momentum caused a slight change in Jack Mana''s expression.


    "A sixth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast!" Jack Mana''s heart grew heavier. He began to understand where this young man''s confidence was coming from.


    "Impossible!"


    In the distance, Jack Nan exclaimed in shock. How could Blaze Regret, a third tier spirit Imperial master, possibly have a sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beast?


    Others in the courtyard shared his disbelief, while Jack Feng and Sri Tasha were wide eyed. This kid was not only a spirit Imperial master but also possessed such a terrifying spirit beast!


    Jack Feng, in particular, had been quite smug about his own strength since returning. But now, Blaze Regret''s display of power was a severe blow to his pride.


    Sri Tasha stood next to Jack Feng, her expression extremely complex.


    "Very well, no wonder you don''t regard the Jack family at all."


    Jack Mana''s eyes were filled with a chilling light, and his deep voice boomed: "Ice Arrow Spirit, take care of them!"


    With a light step forward, the Ice Arrow Spirit raised its ice bow. As its hand drew back, a sharp ice arrow swiftly formed on the bowstring, the arrowhead glinting with a cold, deadly light.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Ice Arrow Spirit released its grip, and a pale blue streak shot forth, aimed directly at Blaze Regret.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with a flash of ferocity in its eyes, stomped the ground. Spiritual power rapidly gathered on its fist, and then its arm shot out like a spear.


    "Bang!"


    The sharp ice arrow shattered instantly under the force of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s punch. The spreading icy ripples scraped a layer off the surrounding ground, and a thin layer of ice crystals formed on Blaze Regret''s eyelashes.

 Chapter 246 - 246 Slight Disappointment

    "So cold!" Blaze Regret shivered slightly, while an endless anticipation welled up inside him. If the Ice Control Irenix were to emerge, its power might even surpass that of the Ice Arrow Spirit.


    After all, that ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Master, a powerful spirit King cultivator, incomparable to ordinary spirit king master entities.


    As these thoughts raced through Blaze Regret''s mind, the Ice Arrow Spirit shot several more arrows in rapid succession, all of which were smashed to pieces by the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fists. The Jack family''s courtyard lay in ruins from the destructive collisions.


    "My young friend, shall we take this fight outside?" Jack Mana frowned and spoke calmly. If they continued like this, the entire Jack family estate might be razed to the ground.


    "Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, follow me." Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently and stepped out of the Jack family''s gate. Surrounding the Jack estate, a crowd had already gathered, drawn by the commotion. When they saw the robust silver body of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, they couldn''t help but gasp.


    With a swift movement, the Ice Arrow Spirit landed on a high wall, its ice bow flashing repeatedly. Arrows flew with sharp whistles, enveloping the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros from all directions.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros lowered its gaze slightly and brought its palms together. A surging wave of power rippled out from beneath it, causing the incoming ice arrows to halt in mid air. As a second wave rolled out, fine cracks quickly appeared along the shafts of the arrows, which then shattered into pieces of ice and fell.


    Spiritual Technique: Pulse Shock!


    "Boom!"


    The third wave of power surged forth, and the Ice Arrow Spirit on the high wall coughed up a trace of blood, its body trembling, almost toppling off the wall.


    Witnessing this, many people were left gaping in shock.


    "What a strange spiritual technique. Ice Arrow Spirit, use the Thousand Arrow Rain to forcefully interrupt it!" Jack Mana shouted anxiously.


    Nodding slightly, the Ice Arrow Spirit twirled its slender fingers, conjuring an ice arrow. With a powerful pull of the bowstring, the arrow shot above the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, where it flashed and exploded. The released cold transformed into a vast ice formation, with a subtle icy mist swirling beneath it.


    Spiritual Technique: Thousand Arrow Rain! Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    An ice blue array slowly rotates above the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, emanating a bone chilling cold. From the array, sharp ice arrows form, with tiny ice crystals rapidly condensing at their tips, exponentially increasing their sharpness.


    Standing atop the high wall, the Frost Arrow Spirit clenches a slender hand, shattering the ice array. A barrage of ice arrows rains down, slicing through the sky and enveloping the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros below.


    With its palms pressed together, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros looks skyward, clenching its five fingers into a fist and striking out fiercely. Roaring spiritual power transforms into a rock dragon, crashing heavily into the descending arrows.


    "Boom!"


    The clash between the rock dragon and ice arrows sends ripples rapidly spreading through the air, slicing through taller buildings and causing them to crumble powerlessly, raising clouds of dust.


    Standing firmly on the ground, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly grasps a giant ice arrow that broke through the rock dragon, holding it tightly in its hand. The sharp arrowhead hovers just a finger''s breadth from its silver armor.


    With a slight exertion of its knuckles, the ice arrow shatters into several pieces. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s indifferent gaze shifts to the Frost Arrow Spirit on the high wall, and it fiercely throws the shards in its hand.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    As the Frost Arrow Spirit swings its icy bow, dazzling sparks flash, and the ice arrow fragments explode into small clouds of cold mist in the air.


    Seeing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros unharmed, Jack Mana''s expression shows slight disappointment. The earlier rain of arrows was a feint, with the true killing move being that single ice arrow. However, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros detected it in the end.


    "However, my Frost Arrow Spirit isn''t so easily dealt with," Jack Mana''s cold voice slowly emerges from his mouth.


    "Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, move in and bring down the Frost Arrow Spirit," Blaze Regret says calmly.


    As a long range attacking spirit beast, the Frost Arrow Spirit is bound to be weak in close combat. Once in close quarters, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fists can instantly inflict severe damage.


    With a subtle flicker in its gaze, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenches its fist, causing surging spiritual power to ripple across its surface. The surrounding space seems to shatter, forming tiny cracks.


    "Boom!"


    A violent explosion resounds as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s form shoots out like a cannonball, its unstoppable momentum causing Jack Mana''s expression to turn serious.


    As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros charges forward, the Frost Arrow Spirit lightly grips its right hand, with rolling cold energy surging within. The Frost Arrow Spirit then draws that mass of cold energy onto its bowstring.


    "Is it a Imperial grade spiritual technique?" Blaze Regret''s expression is equally solemn, realizing Jack Mana''s spirit beast is more challenging to deal with than he anticipated.


    "Whoosh!"


    The sound of the arrow leaving the string rings out as the mass of cold energy shoots forth. Mid air, it rapidly morphs into a massive ice ball, about 30 meter in size, with spikes resembling arrowheads extending and retracting from its edges. It smashes down toward the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros below.


    "Boom!"


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist, brimming with terrifying force, collides with the ice ball. The ground cracks apart as ice mist rises, resembling a pale blue mushroom cloud, halting the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s advance.


    Shaking its fist, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros frowns at the blood seeping from its fist. The Frost Arrow Spirit''s spiritual technique is incredibly destructive, leaving even it unable to emerge completely unscathed.

 Chapter 247 - 247 Misunderstanding

    In contrast to the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s discontent, Jack Mana is deeply shocked. Just days earlier, he encountered another high tier sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beast, which was reduced to mush under the Frost Arrow Spirit''s ice spike ball. Yet, this Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros only bled a little.


    "I originally intended to just teach you a lesson, but now it seems I have to resort to harsher measures," Jack Mana mutters softly.


    Taking a deep breath of the icy air, the Frost Arrow Spirit suddenly leaps into the air. An ice arrow with small wings on both sides appears on the bowstring. Spiritual power from the heavens and earth, as if drawn by some force, pours madly into the ice arrow, forming a pale blue vortex from afar.


    "What a powerful fluctuation!"


    In the crowd, a fourth level spirit Imperial master couldn''t help but gape in astonishment. Only at his level could he vaguely sense the terrifying energy contained within that ice arrow.


    "Die for me!" Jack Nan''s lips curled into a grin. If he could, he would love to personally cut Blaze Regret into pieces, but unfortunately, he lacked the strength.


    "Arrogance comes with a price," Jack Fang''s eyes were filled with venom. Blaze Regret''s appearance had severely shattered his confidence, and only the latter''s death could bring him some solace.


    "High tier Imperial grade spiritual skill, Ice Phoenix Soaring Arrow!"


    As Jack Mana''s cold shout rang out, the Frost Arrow Spirit in mid air released its fingers. The arrow shot forth with a roar, surrounded by surging cold air. Moments later, it transformed into a screeching giant ice phoenix, whose biting cold turned the air within a hundred meters into tiny ice crystals.


    As the ice phoenix dove down, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped the ground, unleashing a torrent of spiritual power. This energy swirled around its fist, causing the surrounding space to distort.


    "Whether it succeeds depends on this move," Blaze Regret''s gaze was filled with gravity.


    The spiritual power encircling the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist rapidly condensed, transforming into a faint silhouette of a rhino. A deep roar echoed in all directions.


    The Mighty Rhino Fist Force is a spiritual skill that the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros can only comprehend at the sixth tier, boasting even greater destructive power than its Shattering Fist.


    As the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros watched the ever enlarging ice phoenix, it slowly moved its clenched fist backward, then suddenly thrust it upward. The surging silver spiritual power transformed into a rhino shaped shockwave, charging toward the ice phoenix.


    The rhino''s horn struck the ice phoenix''s belly like lightning, causing it to freeze in mid air. For a moment, both attacks remained motionless, creating an eerie atmosphere in the scene.


    "What is happening?" Jack Nan opened his mouth in confusion, unable to comprehend what was occurring, but his pupils soon contracted sharply.


    Suddenly, a dragon imprint appeared on the rhino''s horn, and the previously stalemated shockwave pierced directly through the ice phoenix''s body, striking the Frost Arrow Spirit.


    "Boom!"


    A dull sound echoed as the spiritual power impact exploded. The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s feet retreated continuously, leaving marks on the ground, while the Frost Arrow Spirit was hit hard, sent flying backward, and slammed into a tall building''s wall. Massive cracks rapidly spread behind it.


    On the street, countless onlookers stared blankly at the scene, as if time had momentarily come to a standstill.


    "Crack!"


    The Ice Arrow Spirit moved its body with difficulty, causing tiny pebbles to fall to the ground and instantly shatter into powder. The next moment, it too fell along with the pebbles.


    Seeing this, Jack Mana hurriedly opened his palm, and a cold chill transformed into an ice wheel to catch the Ice Arrow Spirit''s body, allowing it to slowly descend and preventing it from a fatal fall.


    Tilting its head slightly, the neck of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros emitted a series of crisp sounds. Then it lifted its foot, walking toward the Ice Arrow Spirit, intending to deliver the final blow.


    The silver fist, exuding a faint force, suddenly swung down with a fierce look in the eyes of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros. But at that moment, a figure suddenly blocked the weakened Ice Arrow Spirit. It was Jack Mana.


    "Come back," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    The massive fist halted in front of Jack Mana''s face, the force from it blowing his hair and revealing his pale face, which showed his unmistakable inner fear.


    The Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros glanced indifferently at Jack Mana, then at the Ice Arrow Spirit, and after a moment, turned around, standing like a shield in front of Blaze Regret to prevent any sudden attacks.


    Breathing heavily, Jack Mana was somewhat incredulous. Did that young man just let him go?


    In the crowd behind, Jack Nan felt a surge of fear as he saw the Ice Arrow Spirit fall. He quickly turned around, attempting to escape.


    "Try taking another step."


    The calm voice that sounded in his ear made Jack Nan''s foot freeze in mid air. Despite the unassuming tone, it was enough to make him too afraid to move.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s focus shift to Jack Nan, the onlookers wore strange expressions, and Jack Fang and Sri Tasha also cast puzzled glances.


    Calmly looking at Jack Nan, Blaze Regret slowly walked over. In his palm, a cold aura spread, and a flickering icy blade appeared, firmly gripped in his hand.


    "Young friend, is there some sort of misunderstanding?" Jack Mana''s face was filled with anxiety, and his voice was kept very low.


    "Misunderstanding?"


    Blaze Regret sneered coldly, "Before I entered Bloodstone Pass, this person claimed that the Ice Bamboo Essence belonged to the Jack family and demanded I hand over the Ice Bamboo Flower. After I entered Bloodstone Pass, he incited the innkeeper to steal my gold card, and Jack Bun was involved in this too. And just today, he hired several third level spirit Imperial masters to assassinate me.


    If I weren''t fortunate, I would have died in the Bloodstone Mountains."

 Chapter 248 - 248 Light Atribute

    With each accusation Blaze Regret made, Jack Mana''s face became increasingly grim, and the surrounding crowd erupted in whispers, pointing fingers at Jack Nan. Some even laughed out loud.


    Jack Nan''s capabilities were lacking, yet his self destructive antics were plentiful. It''s a wonder what misfortune Jack Mana encountered to have such a son.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Jack Mana furrowed his brow in thought, Blaze Regret suddenly moved, swiftly advancing to Jack Nan''s side. He lifted his foot and kicked down hard.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bone breaking echoed, and Jack Nan screamed in agony. His pitiful cries elicited no sympathy from the crowd; instead, they laughed even more.


    It seemed like a year ago, Jack Nan had his leg broken by Blood Nite from the Blood mark Sect, and today, history repeated itself. sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Young friend, is this enough?" Jack Mana looked at Blaze Regret, his eyes showing a hint of pain.


    Looking at Jack Mana, Blaze Regret sighed and then slowly shook his head.


    Seeing this, cold sweat instantly appeared on Jack Mana''s forehead. Although his son was disappointing, it was hard for him to see him killed before his eyes.


    "Master Jack, I can spare Jack Nan, but only if..."


    Blaze Regret''s voice echoed in Jack Mana''s mind, causing his eyes to widen abruptly. It took him a long time before he finally nodded with difficulty, as if he had made a significant decision.


    Seeing Jack Mana nod, Blaze Regret felt a sense of relief.


    Actually, coming to confront the Jack family and causing trouble for Jack Nan was just one part of his plan. More importantly, according to ancient texts provided by Master Magi, the Jack family controlled a treasure site called the Hundred Spirit Pool, which was extremely beneficial for the cultivation of spirit masters and spirit beasts.


    "Young friend, please come in." Jack Mana retracted the Ice Arrow Spirit into the spirit portal and turned to enter the courtyard littered with rubble, while the other members of the Jack family stepped aside.


    With a slight curl at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret followed closely without hesitation, maintaining a calm demeanor as if unafraid of any tricks Jack Mana might play.


    "In consideration of your father, I''ll spare you for now, but necessary punishment must be given. This cluster of Sun Blaze will remain in your body for six months, causing pain and ready to explode if you harbor treacherous thoughts again."


    Passing by the wailing Jack Nan, Blaze Regret waved his hand, sending a pale yellow flame into Jack Nan''s body, speaking with an indifferent tone.


    Feeling the burning pain throughout his body, Jack Nan nodded repeatedly, devoid of any thoughts of revenge. Now, just a glance at Blaze Regret filled him with fear, causing his hands to tremble uncontrollably. He would likely live under the shadow cast by Blaze Regret for the rest of his life.


    "Young friend, I was unaware of my son''s actions. I am truly ashamed."


    In the hall, Jack Mana sat on a chair and had a servant pour a cup of tea for Blaze Regret, speaking with a face full of apology.


    "What''s past is past. Now, let''s discuss the matter of the Hundred Spirit Pool." Blaze Regret spoke calmly.


    Although Jack Nan wasn''t killed, the punishment he received was worse than death. Not only would he spend his days confined to bed, but his foolish actions would also become the talk of many spirit masters in Bloodstone Pass, tarnishing his reputation indefinitely.


    "The Hundred Spirit Pool, you say." Jack Mana''s eyes flickered slightly.


    The Hundred Spirit Pool was a treasure discovered by the previous head of the Jack family, Jack Yanpeng. It is said to be the site where nearly a hundred light attribute spirit beasts fell thousands of years ago. Over time, it evolved into a pool brimming with immense energy.


    The light attribute is the most unique among all elements, as its spiritual power can be absorbed by spirit beasts of any attribute. Therefore, cultivating in the Hundred Spirit Pool is as effective as refining countless spiritual medicines.


    Jack Yanpeng, the former head of the Jack family, was able to break through to the Spirit Imperial Master level within a few short years by cultivating in the Hundred Spirit Pool. This transformation elevated the previously inconspicuous Jack family in Bloodstone Pass to a prominent force.


    However, with the passing of Jack Yanpeng, the Jack family has been on the brink of collapse.


    "But the Hundred Spirit Pool seemed to have dried up decades ago," Jack Mana hesitated, speaking softly.


    "No matter, just take me there, and I''ll handle the rest," Blaze Regret said, sipping his tea and then looking up at Jack Mana.


    Hearing this, Jack Mana nodded helplessly, hoping that the young man wouldn''t vent his anger on the Jack family upon seeing the dried up pool. The Jack family could no longer afford any turmoil.


    Seeing Jack Mana agree, Blaze Regret smiled inwardly.


    Coming to the Jack family not only allowed him to teach Jack Nan a lesson, but also brought him closer to the long coveted Hundred Spirit Pool. It was indeed a fruitful visit.


    Surrounded by mountains, the place was extremely secluded, and even the shadows of spirit beasts were almost impossible to find.


    "Young friend, this is the Hundred Spirit Pool."


    Standing beside a dried up pool, Jack Mana pointed to it with a wry smile. The pool was filled with cracked earth, scattered stones, and withered leaves.


    "Just as the records described," Blaze Regret nodded inwardly, squatting down to pick up a piece of soil and gently sniff it.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s odd behavior, Jack Mana''s eyes flickered with curiosity. Throughout the journey, he couldn''t fathom what this young man intended to do.


    "This pool once contained pure light energy, but over time, it has completely dissipated," Jack Mana couldn''t help but remind.


    "The Hundred Spirit Pool is formed from the remains of hundreds of light element spirit beasts. Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, light element spirit beasts are composed entirely of pure energy. Even in death, they leave behind no bones, instead transforming into energy bodies that other spirit beasts can absorb,"

 Chapter 249 - 249 Light Elf

    Blaze Regret explained as he dropped the soil and dusted off his hands.


    Hearing this, Jack Mana nodded slightly. It was precisely because of this that light element spirit beasts were hunted to near extinction, making them incredibly rare now.


    "However, your understanding of light element spirit beasts is insufficient."


    Blaze Regret opened his palm to reveal a round pill, emitting a faint medicinal fragrance that caused the seemingly dry soil to stir slightly.


    Staring at the Hundred Spirit Pool, Jack Mana''s pupils contracted slightly.


    "This pill, called the Polar Day Pill, is made from precious herbs like aurora grass. When crushed, no light element spirit beast can resist its allure, even in their energy form." Blaze Regret gently crushed the pill into a sparkling powder, letting it fall onto the cracked soil.


    The Polar Day Pill, a second grade elixir, was one of the many pills Blaze Regret had crafted at the edge of Bloodstone Mountain. Originally, he had hoped to try his luck and it seemed it would indeed be useful.


    As the sparkling powder scattered, the pile of dried soil rapidly dissolved under Jack Mana''s astonished gaze. A dazzling light emanated from the bottom of the mud pool, and the pure energy seemed to form a clear pool of water once again.


    "As long as a part of the light energy body is preserved, it will continuously absorb the spiritual power from the air, gradually restoring its original form. However, this is ultimately just a lifeless special existence," Blaze Regret said softly, observing the shadows moving back and forth in the energy formed pool.


    Jack Mana, standing nearby, was already stunned. Could it be that for all these years, the Jack family had missed such a tremendous opportunity? If not, Jack Mana might have already become a powerful spirit master by now!


    "Don''t overthink it. These energy bodies usually disguise themselves in various ways. Your Jack family''s old patriarch probably stumbled upon something by chance, revealing the true form of this Hundred Spirit Pool," Blaze Regret shrugged and said.


    "I wonder about that pill you mentioned..." Jack Mana asked tentatively. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Although any second tier alchemist can refine the Polar Day Pill, the pill formula is only in my hands," Blaze Regret replied with a meaningful smile.


    Jack Mana''s breathing grew rapid. Just as he was about to say something, he watched Blaze Regret leap into the Hundred Spirit Pool.


    "Plop!"


    Even though there was the sound of splashing, no water droplets rose from the pool''s surface, clearly indicating that the pool water was entirely made of energy.


    With flickering eyes, Jack Mana seemed to make up his mind. He sat cross legged beside the Hundred Spirit Pool, guarding against any spirit beasts that might leap into the pool at any moment.


    As Blaze Regret''s figure slowly descended, he glanced around, marveling at the sight of light element spirit beast energy bodies swimming in the energy pool like fish in a river.


    "Wow!"


    Suddenly, a disc shaped energy body locked onto Blaze Regret and Red, who had entered the pool. It was surrounded by several brilliant light beads, tracing a dazzling path.


    "Light Elf!" Blaze Regret''s heart stirred.


    The Light Elf, initially of mid tier Imperial grade, had energy body strength approximately at the third tier, not significantly stronger than Red.


    The hollow eyes of the Light Elf fixated on Blaze Regret. With a sudden jolt, the light beads surrounding its body shot out, creating dazzling rays of light that hurtled toward Blaze Regret.


    "Whoosh!"


    Leaping down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red''s sharp claws swiped through the air, tearing the brilliant light beads into countless fragments.


    In the next moment, Red darted forward, its sharp claws enveloped in a faint yellow flame, slicing the Light Elf''s body in half.


    "Boom!"


    The Light Elf''s body shattered into pure energy, which surged into Red. Only a small tadpole shaped energy body managed to escape, swiftly hiding within the energy pool.


    Red did not pursue further. As long as a portion of the energy body remained, it would eventually reform into a new Light Elf. If it were completely obliterated, the Light Elf''s energy body would vanish forever, unable to reform.


    Exhausting resources without regard for the future is clearly an unwise decision.


    Having absorbed the Light Elf''s energy, Red shook its small head contentedly. Staying in the Hundred Spirit Pool for a few days would enable it to break through, far easier than battling other spirit beasts.


    Noticing their companion being defeated, the other energy bodies grew agitated. A nearby Crescent Flower, its petals like sharp blades, sliced through the energy infused waters, aiming directly at Red.


    "A sixth tier energy body," Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he quickly summoned the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. With a powerful stomp, the creature unleashed a rippling punch that shattered the Crescent Flower into pieces.


    Absorbing the Crescent Flower''s pure energy, the silver armor on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shimmered brightly, clearly benefiting greatly from the encounter.


    With a twist of his hand, Blaze Regret formed a protective flame barrier and floated calmly within the energy pool. The air within the pool was similar to the outside, so there was no risk of suffocation while inside.


    Days passed by.


    The energy bodies in the Hundred Spirit Pool were almost entirely eradicated, with only a few brilliant little tadpoles hiding in the crevices of the rocks, too afraid to come out.


    Although lifeless, they still possessed an instinctive fear of danger.


    Opening his eyes, Blaze Regret looked at Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, whose auras had significantly strengthened, and smiled faintly. Although the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros hadn''t broken through, it was on the verge of reaching the powerful seventh tier. Meanwhile, Red had advanced to the fourth tier a few days earlier.


    "I''m still not a fifth tier spirit imperial master," Blaze Regret shook his head in disappointment. Just as the thought of leaving the Hundred Spirit Pool surfaced in his mind, his gaze suddenly shifted downward. In the dark waters of the energy pool, something seemed to be moving upward.

 Chapter 250 - 250 Awake

    Instantly, his expression turned serious.


    A formidable force surged from the darkness below. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros slightly clenched its fist, gathering silvery spiritual energy, while a faint wisp of flame swirled around Red''s wide open eyes. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!"


    A dazzling light shadow, accompanied by the crisp sound of a deer''s call, suddenly rushed upward. Its lightning fast speed caused ripples to form in the previously calm energy pool.


    With a slight squint, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros reacted instinctively, delivering a powerful punch filled with wild strength. Simultaneously, two pale yellow beams of flame shot forth from Red''s pupils.


    "Bang!"


    A brilliant sphere appeared around the light shadow. As the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and Red''s attacks landed, the sphere crashed heavily against the stone wall, shattering with a crack, gradually revealing the figure within.


    It was a magnificent light deer, adorned with patterns that shimmered with bright, radiant beauty. On its head sprouted a pair of crescent like antlers, around which subtle streams of light danced.


    "Moonlight Antler Deer, eighth rank Imperial grade!" Blaze Regret''s heart trembled. He had always assumed that there were no light energy beings beneath the Hundred Spirit Pool, but the appearance of the Moonlight Antler Deer shattered his assumptions.


    It turned out that there were indeed energy bodies below; their strength simply surpassed Blaze Regret''s perception, making them undetectable.


    "To fight or to flee?" Blaze Regret''s eyes were resolute. The Moonlight Antler Deer would not be easy to deal with, and engaging it might provoke even stronger energy bodies, making escape difficult.


    "Little one, there''s a restriction below; energy bodies beyond the eighth rank cannot break through it forcibly." The voice of Master Magi suddenly echoed in Blaze Regret''s mind.


    "Master Magi, you''re awake?" Blaze Regret exclaimed joyfully.


    "It''s still early. I was startled awake by something inside the Moonlight Antler Deer. No matter what, you must find a way to obtain it," Master Magi''s voice gradually weakened.


    "Master Magi, Master Magi?" Blaze Regret felt speechless, thinking Master Magi had truly awakened, only to find it was just a momentary excitement.


    However, since Master Magi had spoken, the Moonlight Antler Deer had to be killed.


    "Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Red, join forces and make sure to slay it," Blaze Regret commanded sharply, raising his head.


    Nodding slightly, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros unleashed a punch, its surging silver spiritual energy tearing through the energy pool''s water, pressing fiercely towards the Moonlight Antler Deer. Beside it, Red immediately used its strongest spiritual technique, forming a sharp light wheel with four fiery spike rings to slash at the deer.


    "Yoo!"


    A clear deer call sounded from the Moonlight Antler Deer''s mouth. It slightly lowered its head, and between its antlers, a brilliant white light rapidly condensed, transforming into a beam imbued with annihilating energy, slicing through the air to clash with the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and Red''s assault.


    "Bang!"


    Instantly, the energy pool''s water surged violently. Above the pool, a water column shot up, leaving Jack Mana beside it wide eyed in astonishment.


    With a swift movement, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros approached the Moonlight Antler Deer, its clenched fist emanating powerful waves, crashing down like lightning. The immense force parted the energy pool''s water with that single punch.


    Lifting its eyelids slightly, the Moonlight Antler Deer coldly observed the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Several radiant moon blades appeared around it, their sharp slicing sound forcing the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros to retreat instantly.


    "Clang!"


    Just as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros was pushed back, several crystalline flame pillars pierced down around the Moonlight Antler Deer, seemingly unobstructed, penetrating through its body and embedding deeply into the rock wall.


    "Not injured?"


    Blaze Regret was surprised to see the Moonlight Antler Deer unharmed, but then a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Something''s not right. Although it doesn''t show any obvious wounds, its glow has dimmed slightly. It''s not very noticeable, but with a few more attacks, we can wear it down eventually."


    Sure enough, as Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros launched a fierce barrage of attacks, the Moonlight Antler Deer''s body visibly dimmed, and its crescent shaped antlers lost their original luster.


    "Yoo!"


    An angry deer cry erupted as a surge of energy burst from the Moonlight Antler Deer. In front of it, a dazzling full moon about a yard in size took shape, with the image of a small roaring Moonlight Antler Deer carved on its surface. A sharp aura emanated from the moon.


    Seeing this, Red quickly retreated. The Moonlight Antler Deer''s strength was four ranks higher, capable of easily defeating it. The sharp aura from the moon alone left small blood marks on Red''s skin.


    Standing in front of Red, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros coldly stared at the moon. A roaring rhinoceros condensed on its right fist as it launched a powerful punch, transforming into a formidable shockwave.


    Feeling the intense waves from the front, the Moonlight Antler Deer swung its antlers. The moon, capable of slicing through gemstones, emitted a brilliant light, aiming to cleave through the shockwave.


    "Boom!"


    At the moment of collision, powerful energy ripples spread in all directions. The moon, after a brief standoff, developed cracks at the point of contact and trembled before shattering completely in the shockwave.


    "Whoosh!"


    The rhino shockwave, now dimmed from energy depletion, struck the Moonlight Antler Deer hard, smashing its body into the rock wall. Stones shattered rapidly behind it, creating what looked like a black tunnel in the wall, into which the invisible energy pool water quickly flowed.


    Observing the massive destruction caused by the shockwave, Blaze Regret was amazed. Despite being only sixth rank, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, with its true dragon bloodline, was a force even some eighth rank spirit beasts couldn''t withstand.


    Blaze Regret quickly entered the tunnel. The Moonlight Antler Deer''s remains flickered briefly before transforming into pure energy, flowing into Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.

 Chapter 251 - 251 Expose Identity

    Two consecutive "bang" sounds echoed, and unexpectedly, Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros both broke through by one rank at the same time. Blaze Regret naturally became a fifth rank spirit Imperial master as well.


    "What is this?" sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret looked at a brilliant lotus petal on the ground, furrowing his brows. He then slightly clenched his hand, and with a pulling force, he drew it into his grasp.


    "Never mind, when Master Magi wakes up again, perhaps we''ll find out."


    After studying it for a while, Blaze Regret helplessly stored the lotus petal in his Void realms stone and then looked up at the area above the Hundred Spirit Pool.


    Since he had already advanced to a fifth rank spirit Imperial master, it was time to expedite the ripening of the seeds of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass.


    Standing on the edge of the Hundred Spirit Pool, Jack Mana watched with uncertainty as the energy filled pool splashed up into a pillar of water, its violent waves sweeping outwards and shaking the surrounding trees, causing leaves to rustle down.


    Moments later, the turbulent energy pool finally calmed down. Jack Mana pursed his lips and cautiously cast his gaze into it.


    "Swish!"


    At that moment, a young man in a black robe suddenly leaped out of the pool, landing on one knee on the rocky ground. He then gently took a breath and slowly stood up.


    "Young friend, have you broken through?" Jack Mana stared intently at Blaze Regret, exclaiming in shock.


    "The light attribute energy in the Hundred Spirit Pool is extremely pure, and since my level is relatively low, breaking through was quite easy." Blaze Regret nodded faintly.


    Jack Mana swallowed lightly, filled with disbelief. He recalled how it had taken him a full year to advance from a third level spirit Imperial master to a fifth level one, yet Blaze Regret had completed his breakthrough in just a few days. This Hundred Spirit Pool was even more formidable than he had imagined!


    "So, about the Hundred Spirit Pool..." Jack Mana''s expression changed slightly as he hesitantly asked.


    "It will probably take about half a year to recover. Of course, if you hire a formation master to set up a spirit gathering formation above the pool, it might only take about a month for the energy bodies inside to condense again. However, this Hundred Spirit Pool will likely enter a dormant state again in less than a quarter of an hour." Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.


    Upon hearing this, Jack Mana''s expression became quite complex.


    Hiring a formation master to set up a spirit gathering formation would cost at most ten thousand gold coins and would be permanent. Although the spirit gathering formation doesn''t have much effect on a spirit master''s cultivation, it is quite suitable for the Hundred Spirit Pool.


    However, the Polar Day Pill was nowhere to be found, unless...


    At this thought, Jack Mana raised his head and looked at Blaze Regret with a dry expression.


    "Young friend, just say what you want to do." Jack Mana sighed.


    As long as he could use the Hundred Spirit Pool, he could successfully advance to a spirit lord within a year. By then, the Jack family would regain its former glory, and as long as they had the Polar Day Pill, the Hundred Spirit Pool could be used indefinitely. In his lifetime, even breaking through to the spirit King realm wouldn''t be out of the question.


    Thinking of that powerful word, Jack Mana couldn''t help but shiver, a trace of excitement flaring up in his eyes.


    "With my current strength, it seems like you might not be much help," Blaze Regret said, gently rubbing his face, as if he was starting to ponder.


    Seeing this, Jack Mana''s expression became anxious. Whether he could seize this opportunity to soar depended entirely on the young man''s mood.


    "By the way, your Jack family is responsible for the spirit core trade at Bloodstone Pass, right?" Blaze Regret asked softly, with a sudden spark of interest.


    "That''s right. Any major city around Bloodstone Pass that wants to enter this market needs to deal with the Jack family first," Jack Mana replied with a hint of pride.


    Despite the decline of the Jack family, the network they had built over the years was exceptionally solid. Any family wishing to engage in the spirit core trade here needed to pay their respects to the Jack family first; otherwise, even a spirit Imperial master would find themselves powerless.


    After all, there was more than one spirit Imperial master who had favorable relations with the Jack family due to the spirit core trade.


    Understanding this, Blaze Regret gave Jack Mana a peculiar look. Having access to such powerful resources yet failing to capitalize on them highlighted the fact that personal strength was indeed the most reliable asset.


    "By the way, which families do the Jack family specifically deal with?" Blaze Regret asked after some thought.


    "The Lin family from Black Rock City, the Snow family from Velorian City, and the Kun family from Pingyan City," Jack Mana quickly revealed. All these families had spirit Lord masters, and he dismissed those who were weaker.


    "The Snow family..." Blaze Regret almost laughed. Although he couldn''t currently match Snow Fazlin, it was a tempting opportunity to make things difficult for him.


    "Abandon the Snow family and transfer their resources to the Blaze family in Velorian City. In return, I can craft ten Polar Day Pills for you," Blaze Regret suggested slowly.


    "Are you from the Blaze family?"


    Jack Mana seemed to remember something and widened his eyes before shaking his head with a wry smile. "No problem, but ten Polar Day Pills will only last a few years at most."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll be back," Blaze Regret reassured him.


    He''s not fool; why make things perfect all at once? Although crafting second grade pills poses no challenge to him now and the difference between making ten or a hundred is merely a matter of time, as long as the Jack family has needs, they will be tightly bound to him.

 Chapter 252 - 252

    After a brief moment of contemplation, Jack Mana nodded firmly. As long as he could become a spirit Lord master, the future of Bloodstone Pass would be controlled by the Jack family and the Blood seal Sect. Perhaps even the Blood seal Sect could...


    Thinking of such a scenario, Jack Mana''s eyes flashed with excitement, and his resentment towards Blaze Regret for breaking Jack Nan''s legs diminished significantly. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "In that case, Master Jack, please wait a moment."


    With a light laugh, Blaze Regret flicked his black robe and sat cross legged. A pill cauldron appeared in front of him, and a light yellow flame suddenly flared up from it.


    The brilliantly shining Aurora Grass was casually tossed into the cauldron by Blaze Regret, and after a short while, an Polar Day Pill was refined. The calm and effortless manner in which he worked left Jack Mana in awe.


    "A third grade alchemist!" Jack Mana murmured softly.


    A second grade alchemist clearly couldn''t produce an Polar Day Pill so quickly, and even if they could, there would be a significant failure rate. Yet in Blaze Regret''s hands, it was as easy as eating or drinking.


    The only explanation was that this young man''s alchemy skills had surpassed the second grade level.


    Watching Blaze Regret place the Polar Day Pills on the ground one by one, Jack Mana felt a cold sweat break out on his back. Even though this young man''s strength might not be high, his superior alchemy skills would make even the Blood seal Sect lower themselves to curry favor with him.


    If it had been the Blood seal Sect instead of him, the Jack family might have been drenched in blood by now.


    "Nan''er, Nan''er, do you realize you almost brought disaster upon the Jack family?" Jack Mana thought, his throat dry, as he silently vowed never to let Jack Nan step outside the family estate again.


    "Master Jack, the method to use the Polar Day Pills is very simple. Just crush them and sprinkle them evenly into the Hundred Spirit Pool."


    A quarter of an hour later, Blaze Regret stood up, brushed the dust off his black robe, and handed all ten Polar Day Pills to Jack Mana with a smile.


    "Rest assured, young friend. The Snow family won''t set foot in my Jack family again!" Jack Mana accepted the pills, repeatedly assuring him.


    "Roar!"


    Suddenly, Red, who was curled up on the ground, twitched its small ears, its serious gaze fixed on the distance. There, a figure, her clothes stained with blood, was fleeing in panic, with several laughing men in pursuit.


    "Blaze Qistina!"


    Seeing that figure, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned, and then an unmistakable surge of furious killing intent erupted on his face.


    On the desolate rocky ground, Blaze Qistina used all her strength to run quickly. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the young men pursuing her, and a trace of despair surged on her pretty face.


    "Hehe, stop running. Come back with us obediently, and you might suffer a little less," one of the young men laughed wildly, looking at Blaze Qistina''s back.


    "In your dreams!" Blaze Qistina shouted angrily without a second thought, which only resulted in more mocking laughter.


    "Brothers, since this little girl doesn''t know what''s good for her, we''ll have to use force. But be careful, she''s someone the young master specifically asked for, so don''t hurt her!" The leading young man turned his head and laughed, though his smile carried a hint of ambiguity.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as the young man finished speaking, six thick, sharp wooden stakes whistled through the air, piercing the sky and instantly trapping Blaze Qistina''s forward moving body inside.


    Seeing the sudden shadows descending before her, Blaze Qistina''s face changed, and she quickly stopped, her gaze shifting to the few people walking toward her with sinister smiles, her face turning pale.


    "Why don''t you listen when we speak nicely?" The leading young man smiled as he scrutinized Blaze Qistina, his hand brushing his waist, revealing a sturdy long rope in his palm.


    Seeing this, Blaze Qistina''s eyes turned red. She knew very well the tragic fate that awaited her if she fell into their hands. Tears welled up in her eyes.


    "Don''t cry. Our young master will treat you well."


    The leading young man spread his hands in feigned helplessness. Suddenly, his gaze caught sight of a black robed youth walking over slowly, and his voice turned extremely unfriendly: "Kid, can''t you see I''m busy here? If you don''t want to die, you''d better get lost!"


    Looking at the helpless Blaze Qistina through the gaps between the stakes, Blaze Regret suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Clenching his fist, an ice blade appeared and, with a swishing sound, sliced through one of the thick wooden stakes.


    "Cousin?" Blaze Qistina was slightly dazed upon seeing the sudden figure. Was she hallucinating?


    Blaze Regret didn''t speak. Instead, he pursed his lips and lifted his foot, kicking all the surrounding wooden stakes away with a thud.


    "Are you okay?" Blaze Regret turned his head, revealing a gentle smile.


    Blinking, Blaze Qistina finally realized that the black robed youth in front of her was indeed her cousin, Blaze Regret. Though they hadn''t seen each other for over a year, his face now bore more determination and composure.


    "Kid, if you''re going to play the hero, you better know your limits. Do you have any idea who you''re offending?" the young man said ominously, staring at Blaze Regret.


    "I only know that you are dead men," Blaze Regret replied coldly. A pale yellow shadow suddenly darted from afar, flashing through the scene like lightning, as blood spurted into the air.


    "You..." The young man clutched his throat, staring incredulously at Blaze Regret. Moments later, he collapsed to the ground, unable to hold on.


    "Swish!"


    Stopping by Blaze Regret''s leg, Red wagged its three pale yellow tail, looking at Blaze Qistina with a mischievous grin.

 Chapter 253 - 253

    "Is this... Red?" Blaze Qistina''s eyes flickered with surprise and doubt. This didn''t quite look like the Fire Cat, yet she felt a familiar aura from this fire Cat.


    "Yes, this is Red. But how did you end up here, and who are these people?" Blaze Regret asked with a frown.


    "They are all members of the Stun Family."


    Mentioning this brought a mistiness to Blaze Qistina''s eyes again. "At noon, I was with the Great Elder escorting supplies when we encountered a rare Grass Crystal Flower. Just as I was about to successfully form a contract with it, Stun kiu from the Stun Family suddenly showed up with people, demanding I break the spirit contract and hand over the Grass Crystal Flower to him.


    The Great Elder was outraged and fought them, which led to this mess."


    "You mean the Great Elder is still fighting with the Stun Family?" Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned sharp, a chilling intent flashing quickly within them.


    "Cousin, one of them is an eighth level spirit Imperial master. We should hurry back to Velorian City to get reinforcements!" Blaze Qistina said anxiously.


    "It''s too late," Blaze Regret replied, glancing at Red. Understanding the clue, Red''s body expanded to the size of a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat and crouched in front of the two.


    "Cousin, are you going to..." Before Blaze Qistina could finish her sentence, she found herself lifted onto Red''s back, the cold wind howling past as they sped forward.


    "Don''t worry, I''ve got this," Blaze Regret reassured her softly when he noticed her tense expression.


    Hearing this, Blaze Qistina could only purse her lips. Although she wasn''t sure what Blaze Regret had up his sleeve to face an eighth level spirit Imperial master, she had no choice but to trust him at this moment.


    As ancient trees whizzed by, Blaze Regret followed the direction Blaze Qistina indicated and soon saw a forest. At the forest''s edge stood nearly ten figures clad in blood red robes, seemingly guarding something.


    "People from the Blood Seal Sect. What are they doing here?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly as he looked ahead. It seemed today''s situation was more complicated than he had initially thought.


    "Cousin, the one at the front is Ken Aishi from the Blood seal Sect. He''s quite well known at Bloodstone Pass, but he wasn''t here before," Blaze Qistina said quickly, slightly taken aback.


    "The Blood Seal Sect is conducting business here. No unauthorized personnel allowed!" Ken Aishi barked, his eyes darkening.


    "My friend, I have an urgent matter, please make an exception," Blaze Regret said, holding back his impatience as he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.


    In the past, he wouldn''t have been so accommodating, but with Blaze Peter in danger, wasting any time could lead to unimaginable consequences.


    "There are plenty of people who want favors; why should I care about you?" Ken Aishi sneered and turned away, unwilling to pay Blaze Regret any more attention.


    A cold gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he suppressed his anger. With a flick of his hand, he sent a gold card containing a hundred thousand gold coins flying toward Ken Aishi''s position.


    "Oh?" Ken Aishi caught it with a backhand, and upon detecting the large amount of gold stored within, his eyes lit up. Even he couldn''t help but be tempted by such a substantial sum.


    "So you''re rich?" Ken Aishi looked at Blaze Regret with a peculiar expression.


    "My friend, please grant me this favor," Blaze Regret repeated, cupping his hands again, his voice urgent.


    "Granting a favor isn''t impossible, but you''ll need to give me another million gold coins," Ken Aishi said with a grin, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were a lamb ready for slaughter.


    Blaze Regret''s fist clenched tightly, and his pent up anger finally erupted overwhelmingly.


    "Screw you!"


    "I''ll take you on, you old hag!"


    Hearing this voice filled with murderous intent, Ken Aishi and his fellow disciples from the Blood Seal Sect were momentarily stunned. With their status, they were accustomed to acting arrogantly within the Blood Stone Pass, and had never been scolded to their faces like this before.


    Regaining his composure, Ken Aishi looked at Blaze Regret, his face instantly darkening.


    "Swish!"


    Before he could get angry, a fierce gust of wind tore through the air from the front. The sharp claws of the Threr Tail Sun Blaze Cat glistened with a lethal gleam, striking menacingly at Ken Aishi''s vital points.


    "Courting death!" Ken Aishi''s face suddenly turned grim. His hands quickly formed seals, and tiny, cold snowflakes scattered before him. A heavy shadow appeared out of thin air, striking the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat''s body and sending it flying. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was a massive snow tortoise, about a approx. 3.3 meters in size. Its crystalline shell covered its body, and as the snowflakes drifted around it, even the air seemed to freeze.


    "A seventh level high rank Imperial grade Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise." Blaze Regret''s expression changed slightly. This was the kind of spirit beast he feared encountering the most. Its attack power wasn''t strong, but its defense was terrifyingly high. He couldn''t afford to be delayed any longer.


    "Though I don''t know what urgent matter you have, as long as I''m here, you''ll never get past," Ken Aishi sneered maliciously. Just thinking about how this kid might regret it for the rest of his life because of him gave Ken Aishi a sense of vengeful satisfaction.


    Seeing this, the other disciples of the Blood Seal Sect also released their spirit beasts, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were just a toy.


    "Bang!"


    The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, repelled by the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, traced a parabolic path and landed stumbling on the ground. Just as it was about to charge again, a silver figure stomped onto the ground, with such force that the very ground seemed to tremble.


    Upon seeing the sudden appearance of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Ken Aishi and the others'' pupils contracted. A slightly ominous feeling surged in their hearts; they might have bitten off more than they could chew this time.

 Chapter 254 - 254

    "Think carefully, we''re from the Blood Seal Sect!" Ken Aishi, despite feeling somewhat intimidated, still shouted with false bravado.


    "Roar!"


    Before Ken Aishi''s voice could fall, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros charged forward with heavy steps, transforming into a silver shadow. Its clenched fist, brimming with immense energy, fiercely struck the shell of the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Meanwhile, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat darted swiftly, every swipe of its claws claiming the life of a spirit beast. Except for Ken Aishi, the other Blood Seal Sect members were merely average in strength and could only be quickly defeated by it.


    "Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, Melting Snow Cannon!" Ken Aishi shouted urgently, sensing the tremendous force in the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist. He couldn''t hold anything back in front of this terrifying rock type spirit beast.


    The Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise extended its head from its shell, opening its mouth as pure white snowflake energy rapidly gathered. In an instant, it transformed into a cannonball like snowball, shattering the air as it charged toward the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Boom!"


    With a slight narrowing of its eyes, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist struck out forcefully, and the seemingly formidable snow cannon exploded instantly. A misty snowflake shockwave covered a radius of a hundred meters.


    Seeing his attack quickly neutralized, Ken Aishi''s eyelid twitched violently. At that moment, he finally realized the vast gap between himself and Blaze Regret.


    But it seemed too late...


    Rushing to the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s expression turned cold. Its clenched fist, accompanied by a piercing sonic boom, crashed down mercilessly. Even the air seemed to scream under the force of the punch.


    "Use the Snow Crystal Mirror Wall!" Ken Aishi shouted anxiously.


    Just as the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s lethal punch was about to land, the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise''s body trembled violently. Mirror like crystal walls rapidly formed around it, connecting to form a solid shield that kept it securely protected.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist smashed against the mirror wall, causing the ground beneath the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise to collapse. A fierce energy surged out, clearing away all the surrounding rocks and dry leaves.


    As the dust settled, Blaze Regret''s expression darkened slightly. The mirror walls around the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise were as bright as new. After releasing the Snow Crystal Mirror Wall, its defense was no less than that of some ninth level Imperial grade spirit beasts.


    Although the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s strength could eventually break through, it was clearly something Blaze Regret was reluctant to do.


    The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat spun in mid air, its sharp tail slicing the last spirit beast into two before it landed steadily beside the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    As for the Blood Seal Sect members, they stared blankly at the numerous corpses on the ground, their expressions as if they were mourning a great loss. Soon, their eyes, filled with murderous intent, all turned toward Blaze Regret.


    "Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, lift that snow tortoise."


    Ignoring the hostile stares, Blaze Regret pondered for a moment and spoke calmly.


    "Roar!"


    The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat nodded slightly before its figure flashed to the side of the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise. Its sharp Threr tail plunged deeply into the soil and then lifted upwards, creating a small gap between the tortoise and the ground.


    Seeing this, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros extended its hands, grasped the bottom of the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, and forcefully lifted it, hoisting its entire body into the air.


    "Hurry, use the Sound Transmission Conch to inform the Second Elder to kill this kid!" one of the Blood Seal Sect members shouted angrily.


    "Yes, as soon as the Second Elder arrives, this kid will be dead for sure!"


    A cold glint flashed in the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes as it grabbed the massive Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise and mercilessly hurled it at the person who had first spoken. With a loud thud, a mist of blood exploded in the air.


    Blood splattered on their faces, and the Blood Seal Sect members were momentarily stunned. Then, an unmistakable look of terror suddenly appeared on their faces.


    "Run!"


    However, as soon as the voice was heard, there was no further movement. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros continued to wield the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise, relentlessly smashing it against the Blood Seal Sect members. Instantly, clouds of blood mist mixed with snowflakes burst on the ground.


    "Stop! Which family are you from? If you have the guts, report your name. My Blood Seal Sect will make you pay!" Ken Aishi snarled with a twisted expression.


    "No chance for that," Blaze Regret said, brushing the snowflakes off his shoulders. He cast a cold glance at Ken Aishi before swiftly pulling Blaze Qistina along as they dashed into the forest.


    Behind them, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros caught Ken Aishi''s twisted face in its peripheral vision. It hefted the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise like a massive boulder and brought it crashing down.


    "Boom!"


    Blood splattered everywhere as Ken Aishi''s body was slammed into the ground. With a roar, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros unleashed a shockwave from its fist, piercing through the Snow Crystal Giant Tortoise and the nearly lifeless Ken Aishi.


    A faint white smoke drifted from the round hole in the tortoise''s hard shell.


    The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros cracked its knuckles without a backward glance, its thick tail swaying as it followed in the direction Blaze Regret had gone.


    The forest edge returned to silence, with only the lingering thin mist of blood hinting at the ferocity of the recent battle.


    This is a rather expansive rocky wasteland, with enormous rocks densely embedded in the soil. In the middle of these rocks, a few figures can be vaguely seen. Lightning bursts forth from them, shooting straight into the sky.


    (If you like this novel support it by gift, power stone)

 Chapter 255 - 255

    The source of the lightning is a burly thunder ape, and in front of it is a shark suspended in the air. However, the surface of the shark''s body is covered with dense scars. Each time the thunder ape punches, the shark rapidly retreats, blood dripping down, looking quite miserable.


    The thunder ape, named Thunder Lock Ape, is an eighth level high grade Imperial grade spiri beast with immense power. The shark being suppressed by it, named Frenzy Tooth Shark, also possesses eighth level high grade Imperial grade strength, but due to the restraint between their attributes, it has no power to fight back.


    "Old man, stop struggling. Surrender willingly, and perhaps I can spare your life for the sake of your granddaughter," said a young man named Stun Kiu, standing proudly in front of many members of the Stun family. He spoke leisurely with a calm demeanor, as if he had already secured victory over Blaze Qistina.


    "Dream on! How can a waste like you be worthy of my granddaughter?" Blaze Wahab''s eyes were filled with uncontrollable anger, like an enraged lion.


    "There''s nothing I can do then. Old Hong, finish off that Frenzy Tooth Shark," Stun Kiu said with a light smile, flicking the ash from his fingertips.


    The elder referred to as Old Hong nodded slightly upon hearing this. He opened his palm, and a violent spiritual seal condensed, then gently pressed in the direction of the Thunder Lock Ape.


    "Roar!"


    With a skyward roar, the Thunder Lock Ape clenched its fist, gathering brilliant lightning, and then swung a magnificent arc of light heavily onto the body of the Frenzy Tooth Shark.


    A muffled sound spread as the Frenzy Tooth Shark, under that terrifying force, was knocked back and crashed solidly into the rocks, blood flowing from its mouth like a stream.


    "Give it the final blow," Stun Pong''s voice sounded faintly.


    With eyes flashing with bloodlust, the Thunder Lock Ape grabbed with its hand, a blinding ball of lightning suddenly appearing between its fingers, then it fiercely struck at the Frenzy Tooth Shark''s head.


    "Stun Pong, aren''t you afraid of the Blaze family''s revenge?" Blaze Wahab shouted angrily, veins bulging on the back of his hand.


    Upon hearing this, Stun Pong''s eyelids twitched slightly.


    Even though they were doing well in Bloodstone Pass, the strongest member of the Tan family was just a ninth tier spirit Imperial master. If Blaze Ash really came knocking, the Stun family would likely suffer a significant blow.


    "Revenge? If we kill all of you, who will the Blaze family take revenge on?" Stun Kiu laughed loudly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. "To tell you the truth, I never intended to keep your precious granddaughter alive. Once I get the Grass Crystal Flower, who would care about her life or death?"


    Feeling the violent energy in the Thunder Lock Ape''s claws, Blaze Wahab sighed deeply. Was he really going to meet his end here at Bloodstone Pass?


    As the Thunder Lock Ape eyed the dying Frenzy Tooth Shark, it grinned and brought its fierce, wind laden palm down hard.


    Seeing this, Stun Kiu''s lips curled into a mocking smile.


    "Swoosh!"


    Just as the Thunder Lock Ape''s fist was about to crush the Frenzy Tooth Shark, a scorching gust suddenly swept in from afar. Stun Kiu frowned, just about to voice his anger, when a figure leaping through the air caused his expression to change drastically.


    "Boom!"


    With one foot, Blaze Regret stomped Stun Kiu''s head into the ground. He turned his gaze to Stun Pong and shouted sternly, "Stop!"


    The sudden turn of events left Stun Pong''s face ashen, and the Thunder Lock Ape''s fist halted just an inch from the Frenzy Tooth Shark''s face.


    The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.


    "Blaze... Blaze Regret?"


    Seeing the black robed young man, Blaze Wahab trembled all over, his face full of disbelief, and his voice, trembling slightly from excitement.


    Due to years of business travel, he seldom returned to Sun Moon City, and the last time he saw Blaze Regret was before his spiritual awakening. When he learned that his grandson''s spiritual sense was only a Flame Cat, he had sighed for a long time.


    Although Blaze Qistina had later told him much, it was hard for him to believe without seeing it with his own eyes.


    In his heart, Blaze Regret was still just the little boy who liked to follow him around and cause trouble.


    "Great Elder, don''t you recognize me?" Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a gentle smile, but upon seeing the scars on the Frenzy Tooth Shark, that smile gradually faded, replaced by a sharp chill rapidly gathering in his eyes.


    "What are you? Get off me now!"


    With Blaze Regret''s foot on his head, Stun Kiu''s eyes flared with anger. He struggled but couldn''t get up.


    "Shut up." Blaze Regret''s gaze turned cold as he increased the pressure under his foot, causing Stun Kiu to cry out in pain.


    "Are you from the Blaze family?" Stun Pong''s face was dark. If he weren''t afraid of Blaze Regret crushing Stun Kiu''s head, he would have already commanded the Thunder Lock Ape to tear Blaze Regret to pieces.


    "A Stun family without even a spirit lord master dares to be so arrogant. You all have some nerve." Blaze Regret stared icily at Stun Pong. Behind him, Red carried an out of breath Blaze Qistina over.


    Following closely, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros also stepped forward heavily. In its grasp were several surviving members of the Stun family, who cried out for help upon seeing Stun Pong.


    However, with a slight flick, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros sent them tumbling in parabolas, landing them beside Stun Pong, barely alive.


    "You''re something else." Stun Pong''s voice carried a hint of chilling murderous intent.


    From the looks of it, Blaze Regret had already dealt with all the nearby Tan family members. This ruthless method of dealing with things left Stun Pong apprehensive; if this young man wasn''t eliminated, he could bring considerable trouble to the Stun family''s future.

 Chapter 256 - 256

    "I''ll give you three seconds to remove your foot." Stun Pong''s icy voice rang out, as the Thunder Lock Ape''s lightning wreathed hand hovered over the Frenzy Tooth Shark''s head, poised to smash it to pieces with a single slap.


    Seeing this, Blaze Wahab''s eyes filled with urgency, yet he didn''t interrupt Blaze Regret. In his heart, both the Frenzy Tooth Shark and Blaze Regret were extremely important, and any misstep could lead to disaster here.


    After all, Stun Pong was a true eighth tier spirit Imperial master!


    Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly, and a dangerously curved smile slowly formed on his lips.


    "Senior Stun Pong, it seems my intentions were not made clear."


    Upon hearing the voice coming from nearby, Stun Pong couldn''t help but frown. In his plan, as long as the Thunder Lock Ape made a move to kill the Frenzied Tooth Shark, Blaze Regret''s momentum would definitely weaken, allowing Stun kiu to escape. However, the indifferent expression on the latter''s face left him somewhat puzzled.


    "Heh, so the Blaze Family is full of such beastly people, not even caring about the life or death of their elders," Stun Pong suppressed the unease in his heart and sneered.


    No matter what tricks Blaze Regret was trying to play, as soon as the Thunder Lock Ape''s punch landed, the surging lightning would certainly rush through the water towards Blaze Wahab''s spiritual portal, instantly killing him.

    "Senior Stun Pong, don''t you think using such reverse psychology is rather foolish?" Blaze Regret slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said with a faint smile.


    "Old Pong, this kid is just bluffing. Kill the Frenzied Tooth Shark and capture that old thing Blaze Wahab. I don''t believe he dares not to release me!" Stun kiu sneered repeatedly, his expression as if he had already seen through Blaze Regret''s tricks.


    "Oh? Is that so?" Blaze Regret smiled, gently lifted his foot, and took a few steps back.


    Seeing this, Stun Pong felt relieved, and Stun kiu quickly stood up, showing an arrogant smile on his face. See, your little schemes are of no use in front of me.


    "Bang!"


    However, the next moment, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly dashed out, its silver fist instantly tearing through the air, mercilessly smashing the smug Stun kiu into the ground.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of a skull shattering echoed clearly, and the relaxed expression on Stun Pong''s face suddenly froze.


    In the area, Blaze Qistina and Blaze Wahab were also wide eyed in shock.


    "Attack!" Stun Pong came to his senses, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and roared angrily at the Thunder Lock Ape not far away.


    "Swish!"


    Before Stun Pong''s shout could finish, a pale yellow streak of light shot out from behind the rocks like lightning. With claws as sharp as blades, it fiercely swiped towards the eyes of the Thunder Lock Ape.


    The Thunder Lock Ape''s pupils contracted slightly. Without thinking, it swung its palm upward with immense force, sending Red''s body flying dozens of meters into the air.


    Seizing the opportunity, Blaze Wahab quickly opened his spiritual portal and took in the critically injured Frenzied Tooth Shark, looking relieved.


    With a swift turn in mid air, Red landed steadily on a large rock, looking down with a mischievous grin. It made various taunting gestures at the furious Thunder Lock Ape below.


    "Kill them all for me!"


    Seeing the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist raised, stained with spots of blood, Stun Pong felt a tightness in his chest. When he returned to his clan, he would undoubtedly face the family head''s wrath. The thought of the consequences made his scalp tingle, and the cause of it all was that damned young man in the black robe.


    With an ear splitting roar, the Thunder Lock Ape raised its hand, making a grasping motion towards Red''s position. Blinding lightning transformed into several long chains of lightning, which cut through the sky with dazzling trajectories, enveloping Red from all directions.


    "Lightning Chains, huh," Blaze Regret murmured softly, his eyes shimmering with radiant lightning.


    This spiritual technique was indeed the signature move of the Thunder Lock Ape. Its massive body, while possessing immense strength, made it particularly clumsy. Therefore, when dealing with more agile spirit beasts, it would use the Lightning Chains to bind them first. Once caught, those spirit beasts would face nothing but destruction under its fists.


    As the whistling lightning chains approached, Red stuck out its tongue and then, with a swift step on the rock, darted downward with incredible speed.


    A hint of mockery flashed in its eyes, and the Thunder Lock Ape twisted its palm, causing the chains to change direction. They plunged down with a sharp whistling of the wind, tearing through the air.


    The clinking of the chains roared past its ears as Red''s body flickered, transforming into two equally sized Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat. One was directly pierced by the chain and exploded into a mass of pale yellow flames. Meanwhile, Red''s true form quickly hid behind the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, making a face at the Thunder Lock Ape.


    "Hmph!"


    With an indifferent gaze at the incoming lightning chains, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros extended its hand, grabbing one of the chains and swiftly twisting it. This maneuver wound all the chains into a spiral. As its foot stomped the ground, its hand pulled forcefully, attempting to drag the Thunder Lock Ape over.


    The moment the lightning chain was seized, rage surged in the Thunder Lock Ape''s eyes. Veins bulged on its arm like coiled dragons, and under the opposing tremendous forces, the long lightning chain became taut and tense.


    "What immense strength," Stun Pong couldn''t help but exclaim as he watched the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros standing firm like a mountain. Spirit beasts capable of matching the Thunder Lock Ape in strength were exceptionally rare. The fact that the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros could hold its ground, despite being a tier lower than the Thunder Lock Ape, was unbelievable unless witnessed firsthand.

 Chapter 257 - 257

    "Snap!"


    With the stalemate between the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and the Thunder Lock Ape, the taut lightning chain finally succumbed. With a crisp sound, it snapped, dispersing into dazzling sparks.


    Just as the chain broke, both the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros and the Thunder Lock Ape charged forward. Their massive bodies collided instantly, roaring as their fists pummeled each other like a torrential storm. The dull, violent sounds echoed continuously.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Energy ripples spread rapidly from the two spirit beasts, causing cracks in the surrounding ground. Even the massive, sturdy rocks around them trembled slightly.


    With its left palm open, the Thunder Lock Ape blocked the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist. Its right hand clenched tightly, packing a terrifying force as it mercilessly aimed for the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s head.


    The speed was like a thunderbolt, producing a deep sonic boom as it tore through the air.


    Feeling the force behind the punch, a ripple finally appeared in the otherwise calm eyes of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. It lifted its left arm, and the silver stone formed a shield like barrier. With a clang, it shot out from the sides of its arm, confronting the incoming punch head on.


    This was the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s only defensive spiritual technique, the Reverse Stone Rampart!


    "Thud!"


    The Thunder Lock Ape''s fist landed with a deep thud, sending invisible shockwaves that exploded the surrounding air, creating a series of blasts that reverberated around them.


    Both spirit beasts shuddered slightly, and the next moment, they were sent flying backward. The ground where they had stood shattered instantly, unable to withstand the force any longer.


    "Your Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros does have some skill, but this is as far as it goes," Stun Pong said calmly.


    With his chest heaving slightly, the Thunder Lock Ape''s eyes turned fierce. It raised its right palm sharply towards the sky, and immediately, the space above it began to distort slightly. A thundercloud, spanning ten meters in diameter, rapidly formed.


    Dazzling lightning flickered and leaped beneath the thundercloud, accompanied by a rumbling sound. An extremely violent aura was contained within it.


    "Spiritual Technique, Thunder Lock Domain!"


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous roar erupted from the thunderclouds, echoing across the heavens and the earth. The Thunder Lock Ape clenched its fist, and dazzling lightning tore through the air, descending from the sky, all converging into its palm.


    At this moment, the Thunder Lock Ape''s hand expanded to nearly double its size, with brilliant lightning coursing rapidly across its surface, emitting a sizzling electric sound.


    "What a powerful fluctuation," Blaze Regret observed the Thunder Lock Ape with a slight frown. The aura emanating from its palm was undoubtedly much stronger than before.


    "Countless spirit beasts and spirit masters have perished under this move. It seems today, two more will be added to that number," Stun Pong muttered softly, his tone full of pride.


    "Roar!"


    Reflected in its eyes was a dazzling light, and a terrifying aura suddenly burst forth from the body of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Its hand slowly clenched at this moment, and the surrounding space appeared to fracture with cracks.


    "The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s Shattering Fist? While this spirit skill is strong, the difference in rank has already determined the outcome," Stun Pong smirked, shaking his head.


    If the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros were also at the eighth rank Imperial grade, he might be somewhat apprehensive. After all, earth attribute spirit beasts significantly suppress thunder attribute ones. However, a spirit beast like the Thunder Lock Ape can crush the bodies of spirit beasts of the same rank with sheer power, largely compensating for the attribute disadvantage.


    Dazzling lightning gathered on its fist, like a golden sun. The Thunder Lock Ape stomped its foot, causing the ground to shatter, and its body instantly charged towards the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    As the Thunder Lock Ape unleashed a punch, violent lightning swept forth, causing even the air to explode layer by layer.


    With a slight narrowing of its eyes, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist also struck out suddenly. A loud bang was heard as violent power ripples spread out, carving a deep crack into the hard ground.


    The two spirit beasts collided wildly on the rocky ground, and with each collision, they unleashed terrifying gusts of wind. In an instant, the rocky ground was in ruins, with even the giant boulders buried in the soil shattered into pieces.


    "What a terrifying collision!" Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina were standing behind a clear water barrier, their eyes filled with shock. The water barrier was evidently Blaze Wahab''s defensive spirit technique, and as the two spirit beasts collided fiercely, ripples spread across its surface.


    The silhouettes of the two beasts flickered rapidly, leaving afterimages across the field. The angry roars and heavy thuds echoed over the rocky ground, the sheer violence of the spectacle was a shock to the senses.

    "Damn it, what''s going on with that Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros? It''s actually withstanding the Thunder Lock Ape''s successive attacks!"


    Watching the increasingly courageous Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Stun Pong''s expression gradually turned grim. The Thunder Lock Ape''s explosive power was supported by the Thunder Lock Domain, but as time passed, the amplification from the domain was clearly diminishing. If this continued, it wouldn''t be long before the Thunder Lock Ape would be defeated.


    "Thunder Lock Ape, use the Thunder Gathering Palm!" Stun Pong gritted his teeth and shouted.


    The Thunder Gathering Palm was a spirit skill where the Thunder Lock Ape gathered the entire Thunder Lock Domain into its palm. Though it could unleash a more terrifying power than usual, the backlash was equally severe.


    Thus, unless absolutely necessary, the Thunder Lock Ape would not use this skill.


    At this moment, with the lightning on its palm gradually dimming, the Thunder Lock Ape had no other choice.


    A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as the Thunder Lock Ape quickly retreated, spreading its fur covered hand towards the sky. The swirling thunderclouds seemed to be drawn in, rushing down to gather in its palm. The violent energy caused the surrounding space to tremble slightly.

 Chapter 258 - 258 Dark Nether Pearl

    "Using your trump card, are you?" Blaze Regret observed, exhaling softly. He had no doubt that if the Thunder Lock Ape''s palm struck down, even some eighth rank Imperial grade spirit beasts could potentially explode on the spot.


    As spiritual energy rippled around its fist, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its face, eyeing the Thunder Lock Ape whose aura was surging. Suddenly, a faint dragon seal appeared on its fist, accompanied by a low dragon roar echoing softly.


    "Ancestral return!" Stun Pong stared at the dragon seal, a look of shock rising on his face. Blaze Regret''s Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros actually contained the bloodline of a true dragon!


    "Boom!"


    As Stun Pong was in shock, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly burst forth with a sonic boom from beneath its feet, charging forward. Its fist, carrying the dragon seal, struck the Thunder Lock Ape''s palm like a spear, causing dazzling lightning to scatter in all directions.


    "Boom!"


    The Thunder Lock Ape spat out a mouthful of blood and was flung backward in a disheveled manner. The lightning in its palm dissipated instantly, and its heavy body shattered several rocks before embedding straight into the ground.


    Maintaining its punching posture, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros gazed indifferently. After a moment, a trickle of blood finally appeared at the corner of its mouth, and the silver armor on its fist shattered with a crack, with drops of blood falling steadily.


    Clearly, although the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros defeated the Thunder Lock Ape, it also suffered significant injuries. The victory was not as easy as it might have seemed.


    As the cold wind blew, the Thunder Lock Ape''s exposed body lay limp, and the rocky ground fell silent. Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina were filled with disbelief, and not far away, Stun Pong trembled.


    "My Thunder Lock Ape actually lost..." Stun Pong shuddered internally and, without thinking, attempted to flee, knowing well the consequences if he fell into Blaze Regret''s hands.


    However, just as he took a few steps, a pale yellow figure pinned him to the ground, its sharp gaze unblinking, as if he were being stared down by death itself.


    Watching Stun Pong immobilized, Blaze Wahab was slightly dazed, finding it hard to believe as he glanced at Blaze Regret. This youngster, whom he had seen as just a child, had grown to such an extent. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As for Blaze Qistina, her expression was even more complex. She once thought that breaking through to a spirit Warrior master at her age was a sign of genius, but compared to Blaze Regret, she realized she was far from it.


    "Elder Stun Pong, I''m curious. What is it about this place that has brought both the Stun family and the Blood Seal Sect here?" Blaze Regret approached Stun Pong, slowly crouching down, his gaze calm as he looked at Stun Pong''s fierce face.


    "I''ll tell you, I''m an elder of the Stun family. If anything happens to me, none of you will leave this Bloodstone Pass!" Stun Pong roared through clenched teeth.


    "I even dared to kill Stun kiu, let alone an elder like you. Besides, if I kill all of you, who would know it was me?" Blaze Regret mimicked Stun Pong''s manner, shrugging helplessly.


    "You..." Stun Pong was about to curse, but a massive foot came down unceremoniously. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros looked on calmly, as if it were about to crush nothing more than an ant.


    "The Dark Nether Pearl, it''s the Dark Nether Pearl!"


    Stun Pong''s expression changed drastically, fear surging within him. Without a second thought, a bead shrouded in sinister energy appeared in his palm.


    He had no doubt that if he continued to be untruthful, he would soon be reduced to a pile of indistinguishable flesh.


    Seeing the black bead in Stun Pong''s hand, Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.


    It seemed like he had stumbled upon something valuable.


    The Dark Nether Pearl, shrouded in ominous energy, lay quietly in Blaze Regret''s palm. He felt the chilling aura emanating from it, causing his entire arm to tremble slightly.


    "This orb is so strange," Blaze Qistina said, her big, bright eyes wide open. Her slender fingers lightly touched the Dark Nether Pearl, but the swiftly coiling ominous energy made her quickly withdraw her hand.


    "Great Elder, do you recognize this thing?" Blaze Regret held the Dark Nether Pearl up to Blaze Wahab, who, after pondering for a moment, shook his head. Even though he had been in the Bloodstone Pass for many years, he had never heard of the Dark Nether Pearl.


    "Heh, don''t bother. This orb was born from the Dark Nether Abyss, and people from the outside world have no way of knowing about it," Stun Pong sneered at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with mockery.


    "Oh, so you know then?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly. With a twist of his wrist, several crystalline ice blades plunged straight into Stun Pong''s thigh. The intense pain instantly froze the mockery in his eyes.


    Following that, a piercing scream erupted from Stun Pong''s mouth, echoing fiercely across the rocky terrain.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s sharp actions, Blaze Qistina''s eyes twitched slightly. She had only seen such ruthless tactics in some strong individuals. Meanwhile, Blaze Wahab sighed in relief, feeling proud that his grandson had grown up.


    Despite his continuous screams, Stun Pong showed no signs of loosening his tongue. Seeing this, Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows, opened his palm, and several more ice blades quickly formed, their sharp gleams gently flashing under the sunlight.


    "Stop, I''ll talk, I''ll talk!" Stun Pong''s legs were full of ice blades, and fear finally appeared in his gaze as he looked at Blaze Regret. He had no doubt that if he continued to stubbornly refuse, those sharp ice blades would soon cover his entire body.


    With a slight curl of his lips, Blaze Regret flipped his palm, and the crystalline ice blades spun in his hand, sparkling with pure light.

 Chapter 259 - 259 Make Them Regret

    "If I tell you, will you let me go?" Stun Pong looked at the spinning ice blades, feeling slightly numb in his scalp, and his voice was quite anxious.


    "You have no right to bargain," Blaze Regret said calmly, his words tinged with a chilling coldness.


    "The specific function of the Dark Nether Pearl, I''m not entirely sure, but the head of the family said that as long as there is a Dark Nether Pearl, some crises in the Dark Nether Abyss can be easily overcome. The reason the Blood Seal Sect returned unscathed last time was because their sect leader had a complete Dark Nether Pearl," Stun Pong swallowed hard, his voice trembling.


    "I see," Blaze Regret nodded, stood up, and slowly turned around. The spinning ice blades, however, carried a chilling cold as they pierced into Stun Pong''s vital points. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You... you don''t keep your word..." Stun Pong''s pupils contracted, his voice struggling to come out.


    "I never said I would spare you," Blaze Regret said indifferently, placing the Dark Nether Pearl into the Void Realm Stone and lightly dusting off his hands.


    Blaze Qistina looked at Stun Pong, now lifeless, with a slightly dazed expression. His strength ranked him in the top ten at Bloodstone Pass, yet Blaze Regret had effortlessly disposed of him with a simple gesture.


    If this news reached Velorian City, it would surely cause quite a stir, especially among the Snow family''s clan members. Their reactions would be quite something to behold.


    "Great Elder, what do you plan to do next?" Blaze Regret asked, taking Blaze Wahab''s calloused hand and placing a few healing pills into it with a smile.


    "I''ve decided to return to Velorian City. The path at Bloodstone Pass is becoming increasingly difficult. Without paying a hefty price, those few families won''t let outsiders thrive," Blaze Wahab replied with a bitter smile, shaking his head. Although there was still some profit, there were other towns like Bloodstone Pass nearby, and it would be better to spend time developing new trade routes.


    "I see," Blaze Regret nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Great Elder, why don''t you go to the Jack family and say Blaze Regret recommended you? Once you negotiate, the Jack family''s spirit core business can at least give the Blaze family about thirty percent."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Qistina''s eyes widened in shock. Did she hear correctly? Her cousin actually had connections with the Jack family?


    Moreover, even if there was some connection, it seemed impossible to get thirty percent of the business. Having trained with Blaze Wahab for so long, she was well aware of what that seemingly small thirty percent truly meant.


    "The Jack family? I heard that recently a young man caused quite a stir there and even managed to subdue that stubborn old Jack Mana..." At this point, Blaze Wahab''s mouth opened in shock, staring straight at Blaze Regret. Could it be that this was his grandson''s doing?


    Seeing Blaze Wahab''s shocked expression, Blaze Regret smiled and nodded, confirming his guess.


    "It''s been a few years, and the young lad from back then has truly grown up. If Blaze Ash knew about this, I wonder what his reaction would be," Blaze Wahab sighed with emotion, but when mentioning Blaze Ash, a hint of hesitation was evident in his eyes.


    "Great Elder, what happened?" Blaze Regret''s heart skipped a beat upon seeing Blaze Wahab''s expression, and he asked urgently.


    "Not long ago, someone from the central empire came to the Blaze family, and a few days later, your father disappeared with him, leaving only a pendant in the room," Blaze Wahab said slowly, shaking his head. He opened his hand to reveal a dazzling pendant, shimmering with starlight like brilliance.


    "The Kartis family?" Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned fierce, and a surge of violent killing intent erupted from within him. The sudden shift in his aura caused Blaze Qistina, standing nearby, to turn slightly pale.


    "I''m not sure. We can only confirm that they came from the central empire, but the specific faction is unknown," Blaze Wahab replied with a bitter smile. Only a few knew about Blaze Ash''s disappearance, and if the Snow family or other rival forces found out, the Blaze family would be in grave danger.


    "No matter which faction it is, if they dare to harm a hair on my father''s head, I, Blaze Regret, will make them regret coming into this world!" Blaze Regret clenched his fists tightly, his face seething with anger, resembling a beast ready to devour its prey. He hadn''t even been this furious when the Draconic Spirit Hunting Group besieged him.


    This time, he truly felt a murderous intent!


    "Great Elder, you should first go to the Jack family and establish a good relationship with them. As for the central empire, I will return there sooner or later," Blaze Regret said softly, taking a deep breath to calm his emotions.


    Seeing this, Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina nodded slightly. Although they didn''t understand why Jack Mana, whom Blaze Regret had previously embarrassed, would be willing to help, they trusted Blaze Regret and agreed.


    Taking the pendant from Blaze Wahab, Blaze Regret waved his hand in farewell to Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina. He then mounted Red''s back and sped off into the distance. His desire to enhance his strength was growing stronger than ever.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s departing figure, Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina exchanged glances and turned their gaze toward the direction of the Jack family.


    It seemed that the Snow and Jack families also had very close ties. Hopefully, this wouldn''t cause any trouble.


    The chilly wind swept through the street, causing passersby to instinctively shrink their necks. Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina stood in front of the Jack Family''s gate, their expressions slightly hesitant.


    "Great Elder, if we just go in like this, won''t we be kicked out?" Blaze Qistina hesitated for a long time before speaking softly, her pretty face extremely cautious.

 Chapter 260 - 260 Bet

    "Who cares, with my strength as an eighth level spirit Imperial master, even if that Jack Mana doesn''t agree, he will give us some face." Blaze Wahab gritted his teeth, leaning slightly forward, ready to head towards the Jack Family.


    "Great Elder, wait, those seem to be people from the Snow Family!"


    Just as Blaze Wahab lifted his foot, Blaze Qistina grabbed his sleeve, nervously pointing at several figures in the distance. Leading them was none other than the Snow Family''s Great Elder, Snow Ahmad.


    Standing beside him was Snow Feng, with a smile on his face.


    "Hehe, this trip should bring in tens of thousands of gold coins. Great Elder, don''t forget my share. My Earth splatter Scorpion is about to break through," Snow Feng said with a laugh.


    "Don''t worry, you won''t be left out," Snow Feng replied with a smile, shaking his head.


    "Hmm? Those two over there look like Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina?" Snow Feng shifted his gaze and raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if witnessing something unbelievable.


    It''s known that the Blaze Family mainly deals in the spirit beast business, but the Jack Family controls resources mostly related to spirit cores. So why are these two at the Jack Family''s gate?


    "Could it be that the Blaze Family also wants to get involved in the spirit core business?" Snow Ahmad''s lips curled into a faint sneer on his old face.


    Everyone knows the Snow Family has close ties with the Jack Family. Whatever the Blaze Family intends to do, as long as he''s around, he will ensure they leave empty handed.


    In recent years, the rivalry between the Snow and Blaze families has escalated to a point of no return.


    "Hey, Blaze Qistina, you''re looking more beautiful," Snow Feng called out, his face adorned with a flirtatious smile as he gazed at Blaze Qistina from afar.


    "My cousin hasn''t taught you a lesson yet?" Blaze Qistina wrinkled her nose in disgust. The sound of his insincere voice always made her feel nauseated.


    Hearing this, a shadow flickered in Snow Feng''s eyes. The name Blaze Regret was a taboo in the Snow Family. Anyone mentioning it in front of him or Snow Feng faced terrifying retaliation. If it weren''t for Blaze Regret, the Blaze Family wouldn''t have received substantial support from the Angsana Pavilion, putting the Snow Family''s status in jeopardy.


    "Hehe, Elder Blaze, what brings you to the Jack Family''s gate?" Snow Ahmad asked with a teasing glance at Blaze Wahab, smiling.


    "What''s it to you?" Blaze Wahab huffed coldly. His temper was no better than Blaze Ash''s, so he naturally didn''t show the Snow Family any courtesy.


    "I would think Elder Blaze hasn''t forgotten our Snow Family''s long standing friendship with the Jack Family?" Snow Ahmad remained unperturbed, his face still wearing a faint smile, albeit tinged with mockery.


    With his arms crossed, Snow Feng glanced smugly at the two. The Snow Family''s success at Velorian City was largely due to their alliance with the Jack Family. Although Jack Mana was only a sixth level spirit Imperial master, he had strong ties with even some spirit lords.


    Biting her lip gently, Blaze Qistina fell silent, momentarily unable to find a rebuttal. She couldn''t fathom what Blaze Regret had done to persuade the Jack Family to abandon their ties with the Snow Family and partner with the Blaze Family. Such a significant matter was no child''s play!


    "Just because it was a friendship before doesn''t mean it will continue," Blaze Wahab pondered for a moment before speaking in a cold, harsh tone. Despite the truth in Snow Ahmad''s words, Blaze Regret''s assurance gave him the confidence to stand firm.


    "Haha, Elder Blaze, what gives you such confidence to tell this joke? How about we make a bet?" Snow Ahmad retorted, his face full of ridicule and sarcasm.


    "Speak," Blaze Wahab said coldly, his hands clasped behind his back.


    "If you can step through the Jack Family''s door today, this gold card is yours. If not, you''ll give me the same amount," Snow Ahmad said, a gold card pinched between his fingers, gently swaying.


    That card contained a total of a hundred thousand gold coins. Though he could earn that amount in a single business trip, it included the cost of goods, a share for the Jack Family, and the portion for his clansmen. In the end, he would be left with only tens of thousands of gold coins.


    He often had to purchase resources to enhance his Earth splatter Scorpion''s strength, so accumulating a hundred thousand gold coins over the years had not been easy.


    As Snow Ahmad finished speaking, Snow Feng smirked provocatively, as if mocking the two for not daring to accept the challenge.


    "If my cousin were here to see you make faces at the Great Elder, he''d definitely beat you up," Blaze Qistina scoffed, turning her head away in disgust.


    Snow Feng''s face flushed with anger. If it weren''t for Blaze Wahab, an eighth level spirit imperial master, he would have lashed out already.


    "Is there really something Elder Blaze dares not do?" Snow Ahmad teased, the gold card dancing in his hand, full of provocation. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It''s just a hundred thousand gold coins. Do you think I don''t have that?" A glint of coldness flashed in Blaze Wahab''s eyes as he slapped an void realm stone, revealing a pale blue gold card with patterns like splashing waves.


    "Elder Blaze is indeed straightforward," Snow Ahmad laughed, a look of triumph on his face, while Snow Feng was equally pleased, knowing he''d get a share of the hundred thousand gold coins.


    "Let''s go," Snow Ahmad said, gesturing toward the Jack Family''s gate, his voice dripping with undisguised mockery.


    "Hmph," Blaze Wahab snorted, striding forward without hesitation. The outcome was yet to be determined.


    "Let me introduce you. I am Snow Ahmad of the Snow Family, and this is Elder Blaze Wahab of the Blaze Family," Snow Ahmad said with a smile to the Jack Family member at the gate.

 Chapter 261 - 261 Lost

    In the past, any member of the Jack Family would have shown him respect, so showing off in front of Blaze Wahab was a pleasant prospect.


    "Which Blaze Family?"


    Surprisingly, the Jack Family member hesitated before bending down to ask cautiously.


    "The Blaze Family from Velorian City, of course," Snow Ahmad answered quickly, not noticing the change in the Jack Family member''s expression and still basking in the joy of the impending gold coin gain.


    "You''ve finally arrived. Please come in!" The Jack Family member''s eyes lit up, and he quickly gestured invitingly, more enthusiastically than he would for the Jack Family head.


    "Surely you''re mistaken. Our Snow Family has always been at odds with the Blaze Family!" Snow Ahmad''s eyes flared with anger. How could this Jack Family member be so oblivious? He would definitely have to discuss this with Jack Mana later and ensure a severe reprimand.


    "Our master has said that from now on, the Jack Family does not welcome members of the Snow Family. Please leave," the Jack Family member said, standing up straight and casting a cool glance at Snow Ahmad and his companions before smiling warmly at Blaze Wahab. He remembered Jack Mana''s instructions clearly: treat members of the Blaze Family with utmost respect.


    "Elder Snow, it seems the Jack Family gate is indeed open to me," Blaze Wahab said with a grin, stepping into the Jack Family gate while deftly taking the gold card from the stunned Snow Ahmad''s hand.


    As Blaze Wahab and Blaze Qistina entered, the Jack Family member gave the Snow Family group a disdainful look before slamming the door shut, leaving Snow Ahmad and Snow Feng standing dumbfounded in the cold wind.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------


    "Boom!"


    In the silent forest, a huge explosion of energy suddenly erupted, causing the ground within a hundred meter radius to tremble slightly. Dry, yellow leaves rustled down from the branches.


    In front of the fist, a faint white smoke lingered. The Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros withdrew its fist, wiping it indifferently. In front of it lay countless corpses of Dark Underworld Grass in disarray, and a thin, bloody scent wafted in the air.


    Standing behind the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Blaze Regret held a light green plant in his palm. The delicate leaves on it began to gradually extend after absorbing the black gas emitted by the Underworld Grass.


    As the leaves grew larger, a faint fragrance spread through the air. At Blaze Regret''s feet, the Red lightly twitched its small nose, looking content.


    "It''s finally blooming. I''ve seen many flowers, but it''s the first time I''ve seen leaves bloom," Blaze Regret smiled. The Ghostly Fragrant Grass had matured, bringing the refining of the Zhixin Dan one step closer. Next, he only needed to find two more spiritual herbs to complete the task.


    According to known information, the Ghost Face Stigma was in the hands of the Stun family, while the Dragon Solanum Fruit was nowhere to be found. However, Blaze Regret wasn''t too worried. Compared to the other two spiritual herbs, the Dragon Solanum Fruit was relatively common. With some luck, he would eventually encounter it after circling around Bloodstone Pass a few times.


    "However, the current headache is getting the Ghost Face Stigma from the Stun family. That''s a problem."


    Rubbing his chin, Blaze Regret pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly.


    He decided to take things one step at a time. The Stun family probably didn''t know that Stun Pong and Stun kiu had met their end at his hands. If it came to the worst, he would have to use all his assets to obtain the Ghost Face Stigma.


    With this in mind, Blaze Regret retracted the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros into the spiritual portal and then mounted the back of the Red, sweeping out like a pale yellow whirlwind, leaving behind only the corpses of the Dark Underworld Grass.


    "The spirit beasts emerging from the Black Underworld Abyss are truly terrifying. The creatures within a ten mile radius have almost been completely wiped out."


    Sitting on Red''s back, Blaze Regret observed the blackened trees around him and the occasional remains of spirit beasts, a hint of surprise in his eyes. If he hadn''t intervened to slay the Dark Underworld Grass, it wouldn''t be long before this forest fell into permanent silence.


    "Right, the pendant..."


    Suddenly reminded, Blaze Regret took out the pendant given to him by Blaze Wahab from the void Realm Stone. The pendant''s spherical body glimmered with resplendent light, reminiscent of stars in the sky.


    "Doesn''t seem that special," Blaze Regret muttered under his breath. Just then, his hand jolted from Red''s leap, causing the pendant to fall onto Red''s back. There, a scar from the battle with the Dark Underworld Grass remained, with fine dark particles mixed in. Even though Red had consumed a pill, it would take a few days to fully recover.


    However, in the next moment, Blaze Regret''s eyes widened in astonishment.


    Deep energy seeped from the sphere, landing on the scar. In just a moment, the fine dark particles rapidly disintegrated, leaving no trace of the wound on Red''s back.


    "This pendant can heal wounds?" Blaze Regret grabbed the pendant, examining it closely, his face alight with joy. His biggest headache was the need to use a large amount of pills to heal his spirit beasts after each battle, and the healing process was often lengthy.


    If all his spirit beasts were injured at once, the situation would become quite awkward.


    "Let''s test it again." Blaze Regret licked his slightly dry lips and gently patted Red''s small ear. The latter braced itself with its paws, coming to a quick stop, leaving several clear scratches on the ground behind.

    As Blaze Regret rapidly formed seals with his hands, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros emerged from the spiritual portal, its silver battle armor majestic, though showing signs of damage in several places.


    Jumping down from Red''s back, Blaze Regret held the pendant and circled the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros. Energy like star particles gently descended, quickly repairing the damaged areas on the silver armor.

 Chapter 262 - 262 Dragon Solanum Fruit

    "Just as I thought!" Blaze Regret''s face lit up with delight. No wonder the Kartis family coveted this item so much. If his father hadn''t cleverly transformed the original necklace into a pendant, it might have long fallen into the hands of the Kartis family head by now.


    As the stardust particles gradually dispersed, the wounds on the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros were completely healed. It shook its shoulders, producing clear, crisp creaking sounds.


    "Hmm?" Blaze Regret noticed that the sphere had dimmed considerably, and his brow furrowed slightly. It seemed that using the pendant exacted a certain cost.


    This was understandable, though. If it could be used without any conditions, the pendant''s effect would be considered miraculous. Not just the Kartis family, but even some reclusive powerhouses would stoop to vying for it.


    With a single hand seal, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stepped back into the spiritual portal. Blaze Regret held the pendant and gently sat back on Red''s back. Along the way, he took out countless spiritual herbs and items from the Void Realm Stone, only to be disappointed as the pendant showed no reaction at all.


    "Is this... spirit jade?"


    When he touched a piece of pure white jade within the Void Realm Stone, an idea struck him. This piece of spirit jade was something he had obtained from Chen An''s Void Realm Stone. Though it was just a small piece, it was quite valuable.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the spirit jade approached the Void Realm Stone, a bright white light flashed, and the spirit jade in Blaze Regret''s hand vanished. The pendant became radiant once more.


    "So this is how it recharges!" Blaze Regret joyfully turned the pendant in his hand. Now that he knew how to recharge it, he wouldn''t hesitate to offer even spirit jade, or any precious items, because the pendant''s effect was truly astonishing.

    If it could heal wounds caused by the Dark Underworld Grass, it could likely heal other strange injuries as well, making it far more practical than pills.


    "I''ll call you ''Healing Star,''" Blaze Regret decided after studying the pendant for a while. He placed the pendant back into the Void Realm Stone, though he felt a bit heavy hearted. Blaze Ash''s journey to the empire''s capital was uncertain, and though the Spirit Lord was strong, he was not well known there.


    "Forget it, no point worrying about that now," Blaze Regret shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel his thoughts. His current strength was too weak; only by working hard to improve himself would he have the right to go to the empire''s capital.


    Several hours later...


    Sitting on Red''s back, Blaze Regret gazed ahead. Although this area was within the boundaries of Bloodstone Pass, a thick, circular city wall separated the interior from the outside world.


    After asking around, Blaze Regret learned that some peculiar spirit beasts could somehow ignore the powder of the Gluttonous Flower and rush over from the mountains. The towering walls were built to fend off those spirit beasts.


    Passing through a rather narrow passage into the city walls, Blaze Regret noticed several figures dressed in blood red attire and squinted slightly. This seemed to be the stronghold of the Blood Seal Gate.


    As he casually scanned the surroundings and was about to move on, he suddenly turned sharply, his eyes fixed on items at a stall. Among them, an orange red fruit was carefully displayed, its surface covered with layers of scale like skin.


    It was the Dragon Solanum Fruit!


    Standing before the stall, Blaze Regret pretended to hesitate, his eyes wandering for a moment before slowly picking up the Dragon Solanum Fruit, as if observing its pattern. This stall was undoubtedly more upscale compared to other vendors.


    The goods were displayed on a long square counter, and behind it, an elderly man watched the street with an indifferent expression, as if Blaze Regret''s visit was of no concern to him.


    If Blaze Regret knew the reason, he would find it amusing. People usually picked up the Dragon Solanum Fruit out of curiosity, studied it for a moment, and then put it back, losing interest.


    Therefore, when the old man saw a customer interested in the fruit, he would remain reclining on his chair, not even bothering to lift his head. Only a few youths, dressed in similar attire, moved in and out of the attic behind him.


    Raising his gaze slightly, Blaze Regret noticed the character "Stun" on the youths'' chests, and his expression changed subtly. It turned out that this stall, including the attic, was Stun Family''s territory. No wonder it appeared so grand compared to other vendors.


    It was said that the Stun Family patriarch, Stun Mat, was a ninth level spirit Imperial master, just one step away from becoming a powerful spiritual lord. Thus, within the Bloodstone Pass, apart from the Blood Seal Gate, the Stun Family wielded the most influence.


    "Young friend, you seem surprised to see the Stun Family''s emblem?" The old man lifted his head, looking at Blaze Regret with cold eyes, like a wolf eyeing its prey.


    "I''ve heard the Stun Family is quite renowned in Bloodstone Pass. It''s my first encounter, so I''m a bit curious," Blaze Regret replied with a nod and a smile.


    Hearing this, the old man lowered his head without expression, not saying another word, as if he hadn''t spoken at all.


    "How much for this fruit?" Blaze Regret quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised the Dragon Solanum Fruit and asked.


    "Two hundred thousand," the old man replied, a ripple finally appearing in his eyes as he saw Blaze Regret inquire about the price.


    "Why is it so expensive?" Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling a chill inside. Could it be that the old man knew the true purpose of the Dragon Solanum Fruit, which was why he dared to ask for such a high price?


    "This fruit is called the Dragon Solanum Fruit. After refining a warrior grade spirit beast, it can definitely break through a level. And if luck is on your side, consecutive breakthroughs are not out of the question," the old man explained with a hint of mystery in his words.

 Chapter 263 - 263 Joking

    However, upon hearing this, Blaze Regret cursed inwardly, realizing the old man was nothing but a swindler. Most people didn''t know the true effect of the Dragon Solanum Fruit, but Blaze Regret knew all too well. Forget about refining it; even if it was just swallowed, any spirit beast at the warrior level would explode on the spot. So much for gaining strength in hell!


    "Young friend, this fruit is the only one in the entire Bloodstone Pass. Once you miss it, you might never see it again," the old man said with a sly smile, his deceitful expression causing a slight twitch at the corner of Blaze Regret''s eye.


    Blaze Regret took a deep breath, just about to pay, when a hand reached from behind and tugged at his sleeve. Puzzled, he turned around to see a young boy''s delicate face, marked with a hint of fear.


    "Is there something you need?" Blaze Regret asked, bewildered.


    "You shouldn''t buy that fruit. Once a spirit beast refines it, it will explode," the boy whispered, his voice as faint as a mosquito''s, while casting a wary glance at the Stun Family elder.


    "Nonsense!" The old man''s eyes turned cold, and he slammed the table, saying sharply, "Kid from the Walker Family, are you tired of living, coming here to the Stun Family''s territory to cause trouble!"


    Walker Family? Blaze Regret''s mind raced. This boy beside him was actually from the Walker Family. It seemed he had encountered almost all the renowned forces in Bloodstone Pass. He couldn''t help but wonder about the boy''s motive in warning him.


    "I''m telling the truth!" The boy whispered, biting his lip, his head hanging low, lacking the courage to even glance at the Stun elder.


    "Do you really think you can push me around?" The old man stood up, unleashing a powerful aura towards the boy, whose face turned pale with fear.


    "I''ll buy the fruit," Blaze Regret said, frowning as he placed a gold coin card on the counter with a snap.


    "You can leave now," the old man said as he watched Blaze Regret store the Dragon Solanum Fruit into his Void realms stone. A subtle hint of hidden joy flickered in his eyes, yet his gaze remained icy, fixed on the young boy like freezing cold ice.


    The next moment, he brought his two fingers together, a pale golden light emanating from them, sharp like a spear, aiming to pierce the boy''s arm.


    Such sharpness was enough to sever the boy''s entire arm.


    "Playing too hard isn''t fun, elder," Blaze Regret said, expressionless, as he reached out and firmly grasped the old man''s fingers. The intense flames suppressed the pale golden light.


    The stabbing fingers abruptly stopped, and the old man''s expression showed slight shock, while the surrounding passersby were astonished.


    This old man was Stun Kai, the Grand Elder of the Stun Family. Although also an eighth level spirit Imperial master, his strength surpassed even Stun Pong''s.


    "Hehe, young friend, you exaggerate. I was merely joking," Stun Kai said with a faint smile. Seeing Blaze Regret release his grip, he quickly withdrew his fingers, glancing at the red marks on them and his eyes twitched.


    Could this boy be a monster? His strength seemed to rival a spirit beast, and if he used spiritual techniques, the destructive power might be on par with a spirit beast''s abilities!


    "Elder, if that''s the case, I''ll take my leave," Blaze Regret said with a smile, pulling the hesitant Walker Family boy into an alley. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After turning several streets, Blaze Regret slowly stopped and released his grip.


    "What do you want me to do?"


    Blaze Regret looked at the boy''s astonished eyes and said calmly, "I don''t believe anyone would be kind enough to risk offending a powerful figure just to give a warning."


    "That Dragon Solanum Fruit really can''t be refined. A few days ago, an outsider spirit master bought Stun Kai''s Dragon Solanum Fruit and was blown up with his spirit beast in the inn that very night," the boy from the Walker Family whispered.


    "I know that, but I have other uses for the Dragon Solanum Fruit," Blaze Regret replied calmly, his questioning gaze never straying from the boy.


    Years of experience had instilled in him a natural caution towards everyone.


    A piercing cold wind swept through the street, carrying dust with it.


    "In the eastern mountains, I saw that Stun Pong and Stun Kiu were all killed by you, and there were also people from the Blood Seal Gate!" the boy mustered the courage to lift his head and look directly at Blaze Regret.


    Discovered?


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s mind felt as if it had been struck by lightning, and his gaze gradually became sharper.


    A faint moonlight enveloped the earth, like a thin layer of silver gauze.


    On the desolate street, where human presence was scarce, two young men silently stared at each other. Under Blaze Regret''s cold gaze, the Walker family''s young man shivered slightly, filled with fear.


    Even Stun Kai did not have such a strong oppressive force. At this moment, he felt as if he was facing a wolf about to reveal its fangs, ready to tear his body apart at any moment.


    "Don''t misunderstand, I''m not deliberately spying," the Walker family youth swallowed, quickly opening the spiritual portal. A faint purple light flashed, and a delicate little beast appeared on the ground, blinking its large, bright eyes, looking as cute as a little kitten.


    "A phantom type spirit beast?" Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn''t expected this young man to be a phantom type spirit master, a rare attribute he was encountering for the first time.


    According to ancient records, phantom type spirit beasts usually mastered some illusions that could confuse enemies in battle, far surpassing the allure of the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat and being extremely difficult to handle.

    "This is my natal spirit beast, the Spirit Cat. Its eyes can see through obstacles to view scenes miles away, and it can also hide both my and its presence," explained the young man from the Walker family.


    "I see, but it doesn''t seem to be able to speak, right?" Blaze Regret asked again. Even though the Spirit Cat witnessed him killing the Blood Seal Gate members and Stun Pong and Stun kiu, the young man shouldn''t know so clearly.


    The young man pressed his lips together, his face showing a struggle. After a moment, he finally looked up, determinedly staring at Blaze Regret. A small crack appeared on his forehead, revealing a vertical purple eye! sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing that eye, Blaze Regret''s breath slightly hitched, his eyes full of shock. If not for his strong will, he might have already fled in panic.


    "This is the spiritual technique I''ve cultivated, Celestial Vision. It allows me to share the vision of the spirit beast, and any disturbance within a kilometer cannot escape this eye," the Walker family youth said solemnly.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret felt a slight dizziness. How could there be such a bizarre spiritual technique on this continent!


    The spiritual techniques that spirit master usually cultivate are primarily used to enhance their own spiritual power or to increase the attack power of their spirit beasts. His own technique, the Ten Thousand Spirit Technique, was already quite unique, yet this young man from the Walker family had something equally unusual.


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s eyes turned sharp. He opened his palm, and several pale blue ice blades, carrying a biting chill, shot out abruptly, darting through the air and then shooting towards the young man from various angles.


    With a light step, the young man didn''t even turn his head as he dodged, his figure flickering rapidly. The sharp ice blades embedded themselves into the ground with a clang, not even grazing his clothing.


    "Impressive," Blaze Regret murmured softly, visibly moved. This young man, with only the strength of a ninth level warrior grade spirit master, managed to evade the shattering ice blades that even a fourth level Imperial grade spirit master might not be able to dodge. This was all due to his purple vertical eye.


    "Speak, what is it you really want?" Blaze Regret calmed his shocked mind, speaking with a cold expression.


    "I hope you can help save the Walker family!" The young man from the Walker family quickly bowed, his attitude extremely humble.


    "Save the Walker family? You overestimate me," Blaze Regret shook his head slightly without thinking. No matter the reason, he wasn''t interested in meddling in others'' affairs, especially since he had no real connection with this young man.


    With a bitter smile, the young man seemed to have expected this response. He ran his hand across his waist, revealing a dark, ominous looking flower in his palm. The strands of its stamen emitted a chilling aura, condensing a few tiny black ice crystals around it.


    "Nether Bloom?" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted. The young man was holding the alchemical ingredient he had longed for!


    "You recognize it?" The young man was slightly stunned by Blaze Regret''s reaction, then a flicker of joy crossed his eyes. It seemed that Blaze Regret had a strong need for this herb, increasing the chances of successful negotiations.


    "Could you explain where you got this herb?" Blaze Regret asked with a peculiar expression, eyeing the young man. Wasn''t the Nether Bloom supposed to be with the Stun family?


    "I stole it."


    The young man said without a blush, "I nearly emptied the Stun family''s treasury. Since they plan to destroy the Walker family, taking a few things from them isn''t a big deal."


    Taking the Nether Bloom, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly. Even he wouldn''t dare say he could sneak into the Stun family unnoticed, yet this young man, with the aid of Celestial Vision, managed it with ease.


    Such a powerful spiritual technique being used for stealing is truly a waste of talent!


    "Senior, have you agreed?"


    The young man from the Walker family beamed with delight and quickly opened the void realms Stone, revealing dozens of spirit herbs of various colors floating in the air. "Take whichever you want; they were all stolen anyway."


    Seeing the young man''s proud expression, Blaze Regret was a bit speechless. This was clearly something to be ashamed of, yet for him, it seemed to be a badge of honor.


    "Aren''t you afraid I might just kill you and take everything?" Blaze Regret suddenly grinned wickedly.


    Hearing this, the young man trembled, a look of intense fear on his face. He understood the principle of not flaunting wealth, but in his moment of pride, he had made such a huge mistake!


    "Put it away," Blaze Regret said, shaking his head in exasperation. If it were any other spirit master, the young man might already be a corpse in a ditch.


    "Senior, are you really willing to help?" The young man clutched the void realms Stone, looking eager.


    "Let me think about it. But why are there so few people on the streets today? Did something happen?"


    Scanning the quiet streets, Blaze Regret frowned slightly. This abnormality made him uneasy.


    "Senior, you don''t know?"


    The young man looked at Blaze Regret in surprise. "Tonight is the opening night of the Dark Market. Many powerful figures are heading there, and those who are weaker don''t dare to come out. That''s why the streets are almost empty."


    "Dark Market?" Blaze Regret smacked his lips. There was a similar venue in Velorian City, and he had visited it once. It didn''t seem particularly special.


    "The Dark Market at Bloodstone Pass is different from those in surrounding towns. The items sold there are all shady, and due to the unique nature of Bloodstone Pass, many powerful figures from empires come here. A year ago, there was even a spirit king master that appeared at that Dark Market!" The young man quickly explained, as if he understood what Blaze Regret was thinking.

 Chapter 265 - 265 Walker Shafik

    Spirit King master?!


    This terrifying term made Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitch, and his face showed a hint of anticipation. This Dark Market was undoubtedly much more impressive than the one in Velorian City!


    "I''m not familiar with this Dark Market. Show me around," Blaze Regret said with a slight smile, glancing at the anxious young man.


    Hearing this, the young man''s eyes lit up with joy. It seemed Blaze Regret had agreed!


    "So this is the Dark Market of Bloodstone Pass."


    Walking along the street, Blaze Regret looked at the bustling scene around him and couldn''t help but feel a sense of wonder.


    Compared to this place, the Dark Market in Velorian City had a more secretive vibe. Many local residents were unaware of its existence, and one needed a special token to enter. Here, however, it was brazenly open.


    After walking just a short distance, Blaze Regret''s face showed surprise. He saw at least ten third grade spiritual herbs, along with all sorts of strange and peculiar items.


    "By the way, you still haven''t told me why the Stun family is targeting your Walker family?" Blaze Regret withdrew his gaze and looked curiously at the young man beside him. From their earlier conversation, he learned that the young man''s name was Walker Adam, the youngest son of Walker Kimi, the head of the Walker Family, and he had an older sister.


    "It is said that our Walker Family ancestors had a mysterious beast," Walker Adam leaned closer to Blaze Regret, speaking mysteriously.


    A mysterious beast!


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret stopped in his tracks, shocked. Just what kind of background did the Walker Family''s ancestors have to possess even a mysterious beast?


    "You know about mysterious beasts?" Walker Adam blinked in surprise. Having become familiar with Blaze Regret, he no longer spoke timidly as before.


    "I know a little," Blaze Regret nodded slightly.


    "Actually, it''s probably just a rumor, but the people from the Blood Seal Gate and the Stun family believed it. A year ago, in pursuit of information about the mysterious beast, the Walker Family suffered a devastating blow. Even my grandfather perished in that turmoil," Walker Adam sighed.


    "What was your ancestor''s name?" Blaze Regret seemed to have guessed something and asked tentatively.


    "It''s said to be someone named Walker Shafik. The name sounds imposing, but it''s probably made up. Otherwise, why would the Walker Family be in such a dire state?" Walker Adam shrugged indifferently.


    "Walker Shafik..." Blaze Regret repeated the name, and after a moment, a look of shock rose in his eyes. The Walker Family''s ancestor was actually Walker Shafik! This ancient name might be little known on the continent now, but Master Magi''s ancient texts devoted several pages to this person''s deeds.


    It was rumored that Walker Shafik had achieved accomplishments even more terrifying than a Spirit King master, and his mysterious beast was the renowned Emperor Jue''s Eyes!


    Emperor Jue''s Eyes, ranked thirtieth in the Mysterious Beast Records, a phantom type mysterious beast.


    According to legend, Walker Shafik, with this phantom beast, fought seven Spirit Kings master during his time and remained undefeated, even killing three of them. That battle made him famous and established his reputation across the continent.


    And yet, his descendants have fallen to such a state?


    Turning his head, Blaze Regret looked at the puzzled Walker Adam, feeling a sense of awe. If Walker Shafik were still alive and knew the plight of his descendants, the entire Sun Moon Empire would likely experience a massive upheaval.


    After all, the wrath of such a powerful figure is something ordinary people cannot withstand.


    "Did your ancestor leave any tokens behind?" Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment before asking.


    "Yes," Walker Adam said, thinking for a moment and then taking out a pale purple token from his pocket, which was engraved with a giant eye. "This thing is probably a crude creation by some craftsman. The emblem on it is really ugly."


    Taking Walker Adam''s token, Blaze Regret examined it carefully and then let out a long, difficult breath. This token was actually the legendary Emperor Jue''s Token! Returning the token to Walker Adam, Blaze Regret felt dizzy. If this kid knew how powerful his ancestor truly was, who knows what his reaction would be.


    However, discussing this now was pointless. After all, a powerful figure like Walker Shafik only appeared in legends, and meeting him was impossible.


    "By the way, why did you seek me out?" Blaze Regret pondered for a moment before suddenly asking.


    Although he defeated Stun Pong, it doesn''t mean he has the strength to contend with the Stun family. Stun Zen is a genuine ninth level spirit Imperial master, and his spirit beast isn''t restrained by the Rockhorn Rhinoceros.


    Gaining any advantage over him wouldn''t be an easy task.


    "I can vaguely see a very powerful aura in your second spiritual Portal. Though it''s still dormant, once it awakens, even a ninth level Imperial tier spirit beast will struggle to resist it," Walker Adam said, looking excitedly at the position of Blaze Regret''s spiritual Portal. His Heavenly Eye ability must be accurate.


    So that''s how it is...


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret suddenly gained new insight into Walker Adam''s spiritual technique. Such an extraordinary technique must have been left by Walker Shafik and likely learned only by Walker Adam. Otherwise, he wouldn''t hesitate to show it.


    All along, Blaze Regret thought his Ten Thousand Spirits Technique was already terrifying, and he was somewhat proud. But the appearance of the Heavenly Eye quickly dispelled his sense of superiority. As Master Magi said, the wonders of the continent were just a glimpse for him; there are always people better, and mountains beyond mountains.


    As they walked slowly along the street, Blaze Regret paused and stopped in front of a stall. Among the pile of spiritual objects lay a diamond shaped piece of ice, exuding a faint chill. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Ice Soul Stone, a fourth grade spiritual object.

 Chapter 266 - 266 Provoke

    After some bargaining, Blaze Regret purchased the Ice Soul Stone for 250,000 gold coins. The unique nature of the Ice Control Irenix meant he needed to constantly use pure ice type spiritual objects to help it break through, making it quite a costly endeavor.


    Seeing Blaze Regret spend so generously, Walker Adam was secretly astonished. This Ice Soul Stone had been in the Dark Market since his last visit, but no one could afford it. Even the master of the Blood Seal Gate would have to think twice before spending such a large amount.


    "Seven colored Dew?" Walker Adam''s eyes swept over a distant stall and suddenly caught sight of a bottle of seven colored liquid, with brilliant light swirling around the bottle like a spinning rainbow.


    Seven colored Dew, a phantom type spiritual object, could help phantom type spirit beasts break through. It would be extremely beneficial for his Spirit Cat, and with this item, he might not take long to break through to a spirit Imperial master.


    However, phantom type spiritual objects are hard to find, and the price of Seven colored Dew is quite steep. So, despite Walker Adam''s strong desire, he could only look on helplessly.


    After all, he couldn''t easily sell the items in his Void Realm Stone.


    "Why are they here too?" Walker Adam''s eyes were fixed on a pair of young people about his age, who were walking over to the stall, laughing and looking very close.


    "Do you know them?" Blaze Regret asked in surprise.


    "The young man''s name is Silver Ray, and the woman is Stun Qistin. She used to be my fianc¨¦e, and we were very close. However, after my grandfather''s death, the Stun family immediately annulled the engagement and instead formed a marriage alliance with the Blood Seal Gate." Walker Adam''s lips moved slightly, and his expression was rather bitter.


    Seeing Stun Qistin''s cheerful demeanor, Blaze Regret shook his head inwardly. It seemed that she was very much in favor of this arrangement. After all, being with Silver Ray likely offered a far better future than marrying into the Walker Family.


    Silver Ray, while smiling and gently touching Stun Qistin''s waist, glanced over and locked eyes with Walker Adam.


    A thick, mocking smile slowly crept up at the corner of his mouth.


    In the distance, Silver Ray looked at Walker Adam with a bitter expression on his face, a hint of a mocking smile playing at his lips. He raised his hand and provocatively caressed Stun Qistin a few times.


    Noticing Silver Ray''s odd behavior, Stun Qistin turned her gaze and saw Walker Adam standing there. Instantly, a faint trace of disgust spread in her eyes.


    Since the fall of the old master of the Walker family, she had completely lost interest in Walker Adam, not even bothering to put on a friendly face anymore.


    After all, Walker Adam no longer held any value in her eyes.


    Seeing the emotional changes in the group, Blaze Regret subtly raised an eyebrow. Things seemed a bit complicated, even involving the Stun family and the Blood Seal Gate.


    "Stun Qistin, aren''t you going to greet an old acquaintance?" Silver Ray''s lips curled into a teasing smile.


    "What acquaintance? Just a mangy dog," Stun Qistin said dismissively, as if even looking at Walker Adam was a great insult to her.


    Compared to Silver Ray, Walker Adam was undoubtedly lacking. The former had broken through to become a Spirit Imperial Master a year ago, while Walker Adam remained stuck at the ninth level of Spirit warrior master. If it weren''t for the old master of the Walker family, she would never have agreed to an engagement with such a waste.


    Their conversation was not deliberately hushed, so passersby heard it all. Consequently, mocking glances focused on Walker Adam, with some even pointing and laughing scornfully.


    Walker Adam''s lips were tightly pressed together, and his clenched fists trembled slightly. Those mocking gazes felt like needles constantly piercing his body.


    "Does it hurt?" Blaze Regret gently stroked the fluffy little head of Red, speaking in a soft voice.


    "That Silver Ray used to be someone who could only look up to me. But three years ago, I got stuck at the ninth level of Spirit warrior master and couldn''t break through. Otherwise, he would still look at me with humble eyes now," Walker Adam said bitterly.


    "So, it wasn''t because of that girl, then," Blaze Regret chuckled, shrugging his shoulders. He began to view Walker Adam in a new light. Being fixated solely on emotions is clearly unwise, and those who focus on strength will undoubtedly not remain weak in the future.


    "However, reaching the ninth level of Spirit warrior master three years ago, huh?" Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. If what Walker Adam said was true, his talent was terrifyingly strong, and much of it likely stemmed from his Heavenly Eye ability.


    "Don''t want to see him? Makes sense. A fallen family scion indeed doesn''t have the right to converse with you," Silver Ray laughed, glancing at the Seven Saliva Dew on the stall. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    An insidious idea suddenly emerged in his mind.


    "It''s quite a nice thing, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford to enjoy it."


    Silver Ray picked up the Seven Saliva Dew, examining it with a smile, then feigned surprise as he looked at Walker Adam. "Oh, isn''t this an old acquaintance? What, done paying the Stun family tribute, and you actually have money to come to the Datk market?"


    As Silver Ray''s words spread, the surrounding passersby wore amused smiles. In recent years, the Walker family had been oppressed by the Stun family, which was no longer a secret in Blood Stone Pass. Sadly, once able to rival the Blood Seal Gate, the Walker family now survived by paying tribute to the Stun family, a situation that elicited sighs from onlookers.


    "Silver Ray, let''s go. Why waste time with him?" Stun Qistin glanced at Walker Adam with disdain. If he had no money, he should have stayed home instead of wandering around. This only invited ridicule and scorn.

    As Walker Adam''s former fianc¨¦e, Stun Qistin naturally found some remarks directed at her due to Walker Adam being looked down upon, deepening her loathing for him. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Boss, how much for this bottle of Seven Saliva Dew?" Silver Ray asked.


    "A fixed price of 150,000 gold coins," the vendor replied in a low voice without even lifting his head, perhaps knowing full well that Silver Ray wouldn''t actually spend money on it.


    150,000 gold coins!


    Upon hearing this, the surrounding bystanders gasped. Such a price could only be afforded by some Spirit Masters.


    This is why, despite the continuous strengthening of Spirit Masters'' abilities, the amount of gold coins they possess hardly changes. The spiritual medicines and items needed to enhance strength are just too expensive, consuming any savings they might have.


    "So expensive!" Stun Qistin was slightly taken aback by the price. In the entire Stun family, only a handful could afford such an amount.


    "A phantom type spiritual item, Walker Adam. In this Blood Stone Pass, you''re the only one with a phantom type spirit beast. This item is naturally meant for you. This time, I won''t compete with you," Silver Ray said with a feigned regretful shake of his head, waving the Seven Saliva Dew at Walker Adam as if genuinely offering it.


    The crowd watching had peculiar expressions. Silver Ray was being ruthless, trying to force Walker Adam into buying the Seven Saliva Dew. Given how far he''d taken the conversation, if Walker Adam did nothing, he''d lose face entirely.


    Some even caught the underlying message in Silver Ray''s words. If Silver Ray wasn''t competing this time, did that imply that the dissolution of the engagement between the Walker and Stun families was because Walker Adam lacked the ability, leaving room for Silver Ray to step in?


    "This guy is truly ruthless," many thought to themselves.


    "Let''s go. Forget 150,000 gold coins; he couldn''t even come up with 5,000. The Walker family now is nothing but an empty shell," Stun Qistin scoffed quietly, with no hint of regard for their past relationship.


    "Indeed, in a few days, it''ll be time for the Walker family to pay tribute to the Stun family again. I bet every Walker family member will have to tighten their belts. No spare money to waste on a good for nothing," Silver Ray shook his head, about to put the Seven Saliva Dew down.


    "Wait!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly locked onto the bottle of Seven Saliva Dew. Inside, there seemed to be a small bead radiating brilliant seven colored light. Perhaps Walker Adam had seen it, but he likely didn''t know its purpose.


    "The Seven Saliva Bead, refined with Seven Saliva Dew, can open the Heavenly Eye."


    A brief message came from the Medicine Emperor Seed, causing Blaze Regret''s eyelids to twitch slightly. The Heavenly Eye it was referring to the Heavenly Eye ability. What a coincidence!


    Before entering the Dark market, he had briefly reviewed ancient texts. The initial color of the Heavenly Eye was purple, and when fully developed, it displayed seven colors, capable of shattering mountains and cracking the earth in the blink of an eye.


    With this thought, Blaze Regret quickly took out a gold coin card from the Void Realm Stone and handed it to Walker Adam.


    Feeling the sudden addition in his palm, Walker Adam was momentarily stunned, then gave Blaze Regret a grateful look.


    "Wait!"


    A deep voice rang out, causing Silver Ray''s hand to freeze in mid air. His surprised gaze slowly shifted to Walker Adam, while Stun Qistin beside him continued to wear a faintly contemptuous expression on her pretty face.


    Staring at the two standing there, Walker Adam''s slightly narrowed eyes flickered with a trace of cold light. He then strode over and snatched the Seven Saliva Dew from Silver Ray''s hand.


    Seeing this, Silver Ray''s expression turned slightly odd, while Stun Qistin, standing beside him, didn''t even glance at Walker Adam, maintaining an aloof expression that kept people at a distance.


    "What are you doing with that Seven Saliva Dew?" Silver Ray asked Walker Adam incredulously. Do you even know how to buy it?


    "Does it concern you?" Walker Adam retorted, not one to be easily provoked.


    "Heh, take a good look at it. You can''t afford it anyway. Who knows, it might grow legs at night and run into your Void realms Stone on its own," Stun Qistin sneered, a slight contemptuous smile on his lips, causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter.


    Only Blaze Regret, who stood there with a grimace, thought to himself, you''re not wrong. The things from your Stun family''s treasury have already found their way into Walker Adam''s Void Realms Stone. It''s probably half of the Stun family''s assets.


    "Boss, this bottle of Seven Saliva Dew is 150,000 gold coins, right?" Walker Adam ignored Stun Qistin and turned to look at the vendor who had his face hidden under a black robe.


    The black robe moved slightly, and the vendor nodded slowly.


    Biting his lip lightly, Walker Adam handed the gold coin card to the vendor. This favor from Blaze Regret was indeed a major one, marking Blaze Regret as a trustworthy friend in his heart.


    "Where did you get the money?" Silver Ray was stunned, and Stun Qistin was equally shocked. That was 150,000 gold coins. Their combined assets were only 50,000 gold coins. It was simply unbelievable!


    "Yes, the amount is just right..." The vendor, touching the gold coin card, spoke with a cold voice. The next moment, his hand accidentally brushed Walker Adam''s fingertips, and an unmistakable shock flashed through the eyes hidden within the black robe.


    "Young man, say your surname again!" The vendor''s head remained lowered, but his voice was slightly trembling.


    "My surname is Walker," Walker Adam replied, frowning, unsure of the vendor''s intent.


    "Walker, yes, that''s right..."


    Heavy breathing came from under the black robe. After a moment of silence, the vendor suddenly said, "I''ll give you this bottle of Seven Saliva Dew. Take it."

 Chapter 268 - 268 Heir

    As the vendor''s words fell, not only Silver Ray and Stun Qistin were stunned, but even Walker Adam was taken aback. Did he hear correctly? Was the vendor really giving him the Seven Saliva Dew worth 150,000 gold coins?


    Retrieving the gold coin card from the vendor, Walker Adam remained bewildered. Could it really be that good fortune had just fallen into his lap?


    "Why don''t you give something to me too?" Stun Qistin quickly picked up a third grade spiritual herb and looked at the vendor with a playful smile.


    "Get lost!"


    But the only response she got was a cold word. The vendor''s merciless rebuke froze Stun Qistin''s smile instantly. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Standing at a distance, Blaze Regret gently stroked his chin, looking at the vendor with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his gaze.


    "Am I dreaming?" Walker Adam asked, returning and handing the gold coin card back to Blaze Regret, utterly confused.


    "Who knows? Anyway, I saved 150,000 gold coins," Blaze Regret shrugged nonchalantly, dismissing the conjecture that had arisen in his mind. Whether his thoughts were correct or not didn''t really matter to him.


    Leaving behind the resentful Silver Ray and Stun Qistin, the two walked toward the distant street, their figures blurring into the distance.


    Raising his head, the vendor revealed a stern, aged face. Deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of excitement: "Relying on the Seven Saliva Pearl, indeed, we quickly found the possessor of the Heavenly Eye. Old fellows, our young lord has been found."


    After speaking, the vendor lowered his head, and in his calloused hands lay a multitude of Seven Saliva Pearls, their brilliant light shimmering.


    Unnoticed, the crowd around him had dispersed, and as the air twisted, the vendor''s figure slowly vanished, as if he had never appeared in this black market.


    "It really feels like a dream, saving a huge sum for nothing. But why do I have this uncontrollable urge to swallow these Seven Saliva Pearls?" Walker Adam muttered, shaking the glistening Seven Saliva Dew.


    "Eat it when we get back," Blaze Regret replied, rolling his eyes at Walker Adam, as if realizing the reason why Walker Adam had been stuck at the ninth level of a spirit Warrior Master.


    The thick ancient book flipped through in Blaze Regret''s hands, and beside him, Walker Adam''s face showed surprise, then gradually turned into shock as he read the information, much of which he had never even heard of.


    "Brother Blaze, are you selling this book?" Walker Adam shamelessly asked, determined to build a rapport with Blaze Regret, a familiarity that made Blaze Regret''s mouth twitch.


    "Don''t try to get close, just read it yourself." Blaze Regret turned to the page about the Heavenly Eye and shoved the entire ancient book into Walker Adam''s hands.


    "The Heavenly Eye requires both Seven Saliva Pearls and Dew to break through. After advancing to a Spirit Imperial Master, the eye turns a combination of purple and red, allowing you to clearly see scenes even within minor enchantments," Walker Adam remarked in awe.


    No wonder he had been stuck at the ninth level for so long; he had been using the wrong method!


    Meanwhile, Blaze Regret, while Walker Adam was engrossed in his studies, wandered alone to another stall and purchased an offensive spiritual technique at an exorbitant price.


    The Collapsing Rock Palm gathers the spirit energy from the rock attribute spirit portal into the palm for a powerful strike, a force that can rival the spirit techniques of current spirit beasts.


    However, this technique demands extremely high physical strength from the practitioner, so even among rock attribute spirit master, few choose to train in it.


    "This is it," Blaze Regret murmured with a slight smile. While other spirit master relied solely on spirit beasts for combat, ever since being ambushed at Bloodstone Mountain, he had entertained a bold idea: perhaps a spirit master could transform into a humanoid spirit beast by mastering spiritual techniques!


    Other spirit master have limited spirit energy and become exhausted after using a few techniques. However, with the Ten Thousand Spirit technique, as the number of spirit portal increases, the number of techniques he can perform will significantly rise. More importantly, he might soon possess a mysterious beast...


    Mysterious beasts are terrifyingly unique because they ignore elemental restraints, leverage their racial advantages to battle across levels, and can swiftly draw spirit energy from the air to recover. These traits make them highly sought after by countless strong individuals.


    "Brother Blaze, I''ve decided that once I advance to a Spirit Imperial Master, I''ll travel the continent to find the Seven Saliva Flower. It turns out both the Seven Saliva Dew and Pearls are birthed from that miraculous herb." Walker Adam returned the ancient book to Blaze Regret, his face full of enthusiasm.


    With the Seven Saliva Dew and Pearls, he could quickly break through to a Spirit Lord master, and then no one would dare humiliate the Walker family again.


    "Just wait. You might find someone bringing it to you."


    As Walker Adam looked on, confused, Blaze Regret''s gaze wandered until a bright green seed caught his attention.


    He sensed that the seed seemed to harbor life within it!


    A seed the size of a fruit, emerald green in color, was held in Blaze Regret''s right hand. He carefully sensed it for a moment, and his brow furrowed slightly. The life aura that had occasionally emanated from it was now quiet.


    "Senior Blaze, what are you doing?" Walker Adam asked curiously, looking at the large seed.


    "There seems to be something inside. Can your heavenly eyes see it?" Blaze Regret handed the seed to Walker Adam, his voice rather urgent. This peculiar seed definitely held some mystery; he just couldn''t discover it at the moment.


    "Let me take a look..."


    Taking advantage of the surrounding people''s inattention, Walker Adam crouched down, using his robe to cover his face, while Blaze Regret sheepishly pressed a gold coin card onto the stall. If he didn''t do something, the vendor might treat them like thieves.

 Chapter 269 - 269 Silver Van

    "Senior Blaze, there seems to be some restriction on the surface of the seed. Even my Heavenly eye can''t perceive through it at the moment. However, I can confirm that this seed is extremely hard, such that even some lord level spirit beasts may not be able to crush it." Walker Adam straightened up, returned the seed to Blaze Regret, and shook his head.


    "Indeed, it''s extraordinary." A faint smile crossed Regret''s face as he turned to the vendor and asked, "Boss, how much is this seed?"


    "Ten thousand..."


    The vendor had just begun to speak when a hand suddenly covered over, and a cold voice followed: "Boss, I''ll buy this seed for twenty thousand."


    Upon seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze followed the hand upwards to see a slightly pale face with a faint, indifferent smile, staring back at him.


    "Silver Van!" Walker Adam, standing by, trembled slightly in his eyes. He was naturally not unfamiliar with this young man of great renown in Blood stone Pass, and instinctively felt a bit of fear in his heart.


    "What do you mean?" Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly turned cold as he stared back fearlessly.


    "Interesting." Silver Van shrugged with a faint smile, but the force of his hand only increased.


    "Take your hand off," Blaze Regret said softly, his words tinged with coldness.


    "Interesting, you''re the first to dare speak to me like this in Blood stone Pass."


    Silver Van laughed heartily, but his smile quickly faded as he stared at Blaze Regret with indifference. "The one who lent that gold coin card to the Walker Family kid was you, wasn''t it? Do you know how foolish your actions were? The one you embarrassed earlier was my brother."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but smile wryly. Silver Van really thought highly of himself, his tone as condescending as that of the Kartis family.


    "Silver Van, this matter started because of me and has nothing to do with him. If there''s an issue, come at me," Walker Adam said urgently. He had sought help from Blaze Regret, and the latter agreeing to step in was already giving him plenty of face. If he caused more trouble for Blaze Regret, he''d feel deeply sorry.


    One must know that the Blood Seal Gate had spirit Imperial master level experts. Even Blaze Regret would find it challenging to contend with them.


    "Who do you think you are, to dare call me by name?"


    In Silver Van''s eyes, a cold, sinister gleam gradually emerged. "It''s you I''m looking for. A member of a broken family dares to mess with my brother? Are you tired of living? Kneel now and kowtow thirty times, or today I''ll make sure you don''t return to the Walker Family alive!"


    The conflict naturally caught the attention of many people, who stopped to watch with amused expressions. Most had an instinctive interest in such matters.


    Upon hearing this, Walker Adam trembled, his eyes filled with struggle. Kneeling to Silver Van was absolutely impossible, but if he didn''t, he feared dragging Blaze Regret into trouble.


    With a slight tremor of his hand, the emerald green seed fell into Blaze Regret''s hand.


    He raised his head, looking at Silver Van calmly, and spoke in a composed voice: "I''ll give you ten seconds to leave this place. Otherwise, the one kneeling today will surely be you."


    Hearing this, a trace of disbelief flashed in Silver Van''s eyes. In Blood stone Pass, was there really someone daring enough to speak to him in such a manner? The onlookers around were already dumbfounded and then showed some pity on their faces. This young man probably didn''t know about Silver Van''s methods.


    Not to mention his identity as the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, but his strength as a fifth grade spirit Imperial master was enough to look down on most of the strong in Blood stone Pass. This young man was likely in trouble. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Silver Van''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his face instantly darkened, his voice carrying intense murderous intent: "Truly, a newborn calf that isn''t afraid of the tiger. Even the head of the Walker Family wouldn''t dare speak to me like that. If the Dark Market didn''t prohibit fighting, do you think you''d still be alive now?"


    "Five seconds left," Blaze Regret said, weighing the seed in his hand, expressionless.


    "Very well. I hope you have the courage to bear the consequences!"


    With words dripping with murderous intent, Silver Van cast a vicious glance at Blaze Regret before turning and slowly walking out of the Dark Market. His shadowy figure made Walker Adam''s heart tremble slightly.


    "What, scared?" Blaze Regret ignored the attention from those around and gave Walker Adam a faint smile.


    "Senior Blaze, the master of the Blood Seal Gate, Silver Down, is a true spirit Lord master. My grandfather died at his hands a year ago," Walker Adam said with a complex expression, feeling somewhat guilty for bringing trouble to Blaze Regret.


    "A spirit Lord master, huh." Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly, his expression also becoming somewhat solemn. The gap between a spirit Imperial and a spirit lord master was like an insurmountable chasm. With his current strength, he couldn''t handle it. However, he couldn''t just stand by and watch Walker Adam be humiliated.


    Moreover, the one making bold claims here was just Silver Van.


    "Boss, this seed is ten thousand gold coins, right?" Blaze Regret turned his head and smiled at the nervous vendor.


    Hearing this, the vendor took a long moment before nodding quickly. He was just a third grade spirit warrior master and couldn''t afford to offend either party. Luckily, their conflict hadn''t involved him.


    With ten thousand gold coins handed over, Blaze Regret tried several times to place the emerald green seed into the void realms stone but was unsuccessful. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly. As expected, items with life couldn''t be stored in the void realms stone.

 Chapter 270 - 270 Fighting Silver Van

    "Senior Blaze, are we really going out?" Walker Adam glanced towards the entrance of the Dark Market and asked softly.


    With a light chuckle, Blaze Regret tucked the seed inside his clothing and leisurely headed towards the exit of the Dark Market. If Silver lucas himself came, perhaps Blaze Regret would be somewhat apprehensive, but for someone like Silver Van to make him bow down was nothing more than wishful thinking.


    Behind him, Walker Adam hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth hard and quickly followed Blaze Regret.


    After a brief silence, the Dark Market returned to its usual hustle and bustle. Only a few people, their emotions stirred, decided to follow them.


    Tonight, there would be quite a show to watch!


    The bone chilling cold wind howled through the streets as dark clouds loomed over the night sky like a vast curtain, filling the air with a sense of foreboding.


    "Plop!"


    A fruit pit with bits of flesh still clinging to it fell at Blaze Regret''s feet, rolling a few times until it was covered in dust and came to a halt.


    "I didn''t expect you to actually dare to come out instead of hiding inside quietly."


    On a high wall, Silver Van wiped his hands and glanced coldly at Blaze Regret below. A bright flash of blood light flickered behind him, and suddenly, threads of blood red silk wove swiftly through the area, forming a massive cage that trapped several people inside.


    "The Blood Silk Cage, that kid is doomed!"


    From a distant street, Silver Ray''s lips curled into a sinister smile, while Stun Qistin beside him wore a venomous expression. The memory of being scolded in front of countless people made her long nails dig tightly into her palms, wishing she could tear the two standing there to pieces.


    Blaze Regret lifted his head and scanned the area. Countless blood red threads interwove in the air, resembling a giant spider web. In the center of the web, a blood red shadow slowly descended, like a massive spider.


    A strong, bloody scent emanated from the spider, wafting through the air.


    "A blood type spirit beast, huh." Blaze Regret looked on with a hint of surprise at the blood spider, not expecting to encounter two previously unseen attributes at this Blood stone Pass, which was quite an eye opener.


    As the blood spider appeared, countless figures hidden in the darkness held their breath, many of whom were somewhat familiar with its terrifying reputation.


    The Blood Devouring Spider, a high ranking Imperial Grade spirit beast, could enhance its power by consuming the blood of other spirit beasts. To weaker spirit beasts, it was nothing short of a nightmare, and Silver Van''s spider had clearly reached the sixth rank.


    "Why does Silver Van, who is merely a third rank spirit imperial master, possess a sixth rank spirit beast?" Blaze Regret frowned. Spirit masters capable of taming beasts beyond their rank might exist elsewhere on the continent, but such talent would be rare in a small place like Blood stone Pass.


    "That Blood Devouring Spider was indeed only third rank before, but Silver Van luckily encountered a dying ninth rank Imperial grade spirit beast. It absorbed all its blood, which allowed it to leap to the sixth rank," Walker Adam explained beside him.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded slowly and was about to open the second spirit portal to let the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros crush the Blood Devouring Spider when an excited howl suddenly came from his shoulder.


    With a flick of its pale yellow tail, Red leaped down, rubbing its paws together as it eagerly eyed the Blood Devouring Spider in mid air.


    It hadn''t had much action lately; any stronger spirit beasts had been taken care of by the bulky Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros. Now, finally encountering one of equal strength, it wasn''t about to let the opportunity slip by.


    "Roar!"


    With a step forward, Red locked its gaze on the Blood Devouring Spider, flames rising between its two paws, emanating a strong and overwhelming aura.


    "A fifth rank Imperial grade Three tail Sun Blaze Cat?"


    A smirk appeared on Silver Van''s lips as he said indifferently, "I thought it was some formidable figure, but it''s just a fifth rank spirit Imperial master. I''ve killed more of this level than I can count on one hand."


    "Perhaps I can end your streak," Blaze Regret replied with a smile.


    "You are truly testing my patience."


    Hearing this, Silver Van''s expression grew extremely cold and severe, his deep voice echoing over the street: "Don''t think that having some power allows you to act recklessly. At least in front of me, you don''t have that right!"


    "Swish!"


    As Silver Van''s voice fell, the Blood Devouring Spider in mid air suddenly lunged downward. Long, blood colored threads shot from its abdomen, connecting to the center of the web, while its slender limbs stabbed fiercely at Red below.


    "Clang!"


    Red raised its claws, clashing directly with the Blood Devouring Spider. Fiery yellow flames swirled around its blade like claws, sending a dazzling spark along the spider''s slender legs.


    When the attack failed, the spider''s abdomen threads retracted sharply, pulling its body upward. Red''s claw, swung in a backward motion, traced three searing arcs of fire through the air.


    "Swish!"


    Dodging the attack, the Blood Devouring Spider descended again, its long legs madly exchanging blows with Red''s claws, the clanging sound echoing continuously.


    With a backward step, its slender legs swept a blood red arc, swiftly lashing out. Red''s claws spread wide, instantly plunging into the ground. Its body spun in mid air, the sharp tail slicing through the spider''s trailing silk with a resounding snap.


    With its supporting threads severed, the massive body of the Blood Devouring Spider crashed to the ground. Its elongated limbs shot out to the right, colliding thunderously with Red''s returning fiery tail, sending an invisible shockwave expanding outward as both were forced to retreat.

    Sorry for the late update. Please support me guys

 Chapter 271 - 271 Fighting Silver Van 2

    This exchange happened in the blink of an eye, and before many could react, the Blood Devouring Spider had already landed, completing a fierce strike with Red, and now they faced each other from a distance.


    "Blood Devouring Spider, Blood Fangs!" Silver Van commanded sharply, his brow furrowing.


    Crimson energy gathered before the spider''s mouth parts, rapidly forming into a pair of sharp fangs that clashed with a resounding clang, capable of biting through solid rock.


    After a brief pause, the Blood Devouring Spider charged forward. Its blade like fangs, gleaming with a chilling blood light, aimed to bite down on Red''s neck with the intent to snap it.


    Red spread its claws, revealing pale yellow fire spike rings. It controlled two palm sized fire spike rings, striking fiercely at the Blood Devouring Spider''s fangs. Their figures darted around the area, each collision sending ripples outward.


    "Clang! Clang! Clang!"


    The sound of metal clashing echoed repeatedly until a final explosive boom filled the air. The fire spike rings and the Blood Fangs shattered simultaneously, and the force of the explosion drove both spirit beasts apart.


    "This is just the beginning. Blood Devouring Spider, use the Blood Storm to tear that Cat apart!"


    Hearing Silver Van''s cold command, the Blood Devouring Spider spread its eight slender legs wide, lifting high off the ground. It then spun rapidly like a high speed top, rising with a howl. Blood red energy winds swirled around it, spinning madly and emitting a piercing sound.


    In response, Red''s fiery tail bounced against the ground, spinning quickly as well. A fiery whirlwind formed rapidly around it, meeting the oncoming blood colored storm head on.


    In the next moment, under many tense gazes, the two differently colored whirlwinds collided with a heavy impact.


    "Boom!"


    The two spirit beasts, transformed into whirlwinds, carried surging spiritual power and collided heavily, sweeping energy waves that caused cracks in the surrounding rocks. Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the energy dissipated, in the midst of those cracks, the Three tail sun blaze cat''s right claw was raised above its head, resisting the piercing legs of the Blood Devourer Spider. The cold, sharp claws reflected its fierce eyes.


    "No wonder you talk big; you do have some skills," Silver Van said with a gloomy look. With the Blood Devourer Spider''s six stage advanced Imperial grade Beast Master level strength, it should have easily defeated the Three tail sun Blaze cat after unleashing the Scarlet Storm. However, the current scene left him dissatisfied.


    In response to Silver Van''s slightly mocking tone, Blaze Regret merely pursed his lips. If the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat were still the Two Tail Demon Fire Cat, it would likely have been severely injured. But as the stronger Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, it clearly had the strength to contend with the Blood Devourer Spider.


    "Clang!"


    A flash of cold light, and the two spirit beasts rapidly retreated, their cold eyes fixed on each other.


    "It actually blocked it," Stun Qistin said with a frown and a steady voice.


    "Hehe, don''t worry. My brother''s Blood Devourer Spider hasn''t used its full strength. Otherwise, that Cat would have already become a dried corpse," Silver Ray laughed, confident in Silver Van''s Blood Devourer Spider.


    "Exactly, it''s just a trashy Cat. How could it compare to Brother Van''s spirit beast?" Stun Qistin relaxed her frown and smiled faintly.


    Watching the combatants, Walker Adam kept his mouth tightly shut, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing Blaze Regtet.


    "However, it''s about time to end this."


    Standing on the high wall, Silver Van looked down at Blaze Regtet from above, then turned his gaze to the Blood Devourer Spider. With a flick of his finger, a brilliant drop of blood shot towards it.


    The slender leg extended, and the Blood Devourer Spider caught the blood drop with its cold, gleaming leg tip. Without any hesitation, it popped it into its mouth.


    As the blood drop entered its belly, a more powerful aura than before erupted from the Blood Devourer Spider, filling the entire street with a pungent, bloody smell.


    "It''s the Blood Oath, the spiritual technique cultivated by Silver Van!"


    In the darkness, someone exclaimed in shock, their voice carrying a heavy sense of awe.


    To deal with Blaze Regret, Silver Van even resorted to using the Blood Oath. That kid is truly something!


    "Haha, my brother is serious now. They can just wait to die!" Silver Ray laughed heartily as he watched the Blood Devourer Spider''s aura surge, and Stun Qistin''s lips curled into a gloating smile.


    "Die, all of you, die!" Stun Qistin maliciously cursed in her heart. Even though she was allied through marriage with the Blood Seal Gate, some elders of the sect didn''t treat her kindly, all because of her previous engagement with Walker Adam.


    To her, that was an indelible humiliation, and only Walker Adam''s death would ease her mind.


    "Hiss!"


    With a slight forward lean, the Blood Devourer Spider let out a sharp screech. At this moment, its strength had unexpectedly reached the eighth stage!


    "A spiritual technique to enhance a spirit beast''s strength, huh?" Blaze Regtet mused, recognizing the Blood Oath''s utility, especially at the spirit imperial master level. However, he believed that once he progressed further, his Ten Thousand Spirits Technique could completely suppress the Blood Oath and similar techniques.


    "Crash!"


    The sharp leg shattered the ground as the Blood Devourer Spider shot forward. As blood light coalesced, its sharp leg thrust out like a spear, tearing a clear blood red mark even in the air ahead.


    "Kill it, kill it!" Silver Ray exclaimed with an excited smile.


    "Boom!"


    Red''s eyes sharpened, and pale yellow flames coiled up along its sharp claws as it swung fiercely. With a loud crash, violent energy rippled outward, shattering the ground around Red as chunks of rock flew in all directions.


    "How dare it face off? Reckless!" Stun Qistin scoffed, convinced that Red had been pierced through by the Blood Devourer Spider''s sharp legs.

 Chapter 272 - 272 Fighting Silver Van 3

    The wind push rocks flying against the Sun Flame barrier, and Walker Adam opened his mouth, a hint of doubt crossing his eyes. However, seeing Blaze Regtet''s calm expression, he hesitated and chose not to voice his concerns.


    Blaze Regret''s strongest beast was supposed to be the rock type Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, while this Three tail Sun Blaze Cat seemed rather ordinary. Was it really enough to take on Silver Van''s Blood Devourer Spider?


    Standing on the high wall, Silver Van kept his hands behind his back, exuding an air of confidence. The cold smile on his lips hinted at his sinister intentions.


    As long as that Three tail Sun Blaze Cat died, he planned to have the Blood Devourer Spider hang Blaze Regret up and drain him of blood in front of everyone, making clear the consequences of crossing Silver Van.


    "It didn''t die?!"


    The sudden exclamation snapped Silver Van out of his fantasy. His gaze froze as he saw the blood tipped leg of the Blood Devourer Spider halted by Red''s claw, unable to advance.


    The figures in the shadows took a sharp breath. The needle against mace collision created a visual impact even more striking than the earlier violent clash.


    Three pale yellow streams of light danced around Red. With a slight exertion, the ground beneath its feet cracked, forcefully pushing the Blood Devourer Spider''s body away.


    Its slender legs crashed repeatedly onto the ground, creating small pits as the Blood Devourer Spider stared at Red in anger, emitting a thin, nauseating blood aura from its body.


    "Flame Breath, how can this Three tail Sun Blaze Cat use Flame Breath?" Silver Van''s expression shifted unpredictably. The situation, which seemed to be a sure win, unexpectedly took a turn, fueling his murderous intent as if it could tear through his body and crush Blaze Regtet.


    "If that''s the case, I''ll have to use this move."


    After a moment of hesitation, a ruthless glint flashed in Silver Van''s eyes. He raised his left arm, letting the blood red sleeve slip down to reveal a pale arm. With his other hand, he angrily bit his fingertip, creating a glaring blood mark on his wrist.


    "Ugh!"


    The blood didn''t drip to the ground but transformed into floating blood beads in the air, each one containing immense energy.


    Seeing the dense cluster of blood beads, Stun Qistin covered her mouth with her slender hand, while Silver Ray''s eyes glinted fiercely. Excessive use of the Blood Oath would inevitably bring severe consequences. Even if they killed those people, Silver Van would be bedridden for months!


    "Go!"


    With a cough, Silver Van waved his right hand, and the blood beads, like raindrops, merged fully into the Blood Devourer Spider. A faint blood colored light arc appeared around its body.


    With a skyward screech, the Blood Devourer Spider erupted with overwhelming blood light. A thick strand of web shot from its abdomen into the sky, connecting to the center of the web, and its body strangely merged with the massive web.


    Scarlet spiritual power, like blood, spread from the center of the web. Moments later, blood lines rained down, embedding into the ground with a clang, sending stones flying.


    Each blood line seemed to be formed from congealed blood, strikingly red.


    Within the blood web, Red''s pupils were filled with blood, and its body tensed instantly.


    Threads of blood dripped down from the web in the sky, embedding deeply into the ground, forming a complex and astonishing forest of blood.


    On top of the high wall, Silver Van clutched his chest and coughed lightly, his face slightly pale from excessive blood loss.


    With ears twitching slightly, Red''s gaze swept rapidly around. Among the dense blood threads, the Blood Devouring Spider seemed to have evaporated, leaving no trace behind.


    "It''s over." Silver Van released his palm, looking at the spots of blood he had coughed up, his eyes filled with cold fury. "Among the younger generation who have forced me to this point, you are the first. As a price, let your blood become nourishment to enhance my Blood Devouring Spider."


    "Whoosh!"


    A blood thread quivered lightly, a sharp gust of wind, mingled with a faint metallic scent, slashed across Red''s back like lightning. The cold eyes of the Blood Devouring Spider were fixated on its prey.


    With a painful moan, Red''s eyes hardened, and pillars of flame crystalized and shot backward with a clang, only to pierce through the web and embed into the ground. The Blood Devouring Spider''s body had already merged seamlessly with one of the blood threads.


    "It''s the Blood Devouring Spider''s Blood Evasion Strike!" Walker Adam''s voice trembled slightly.


    Blood Evasion Strike is the signature spiritual skill of the Blood Devouring Spider, allowing it to merge its body perfectly with the web, like a drop of blood flowing on the threads, with its speed enhanced manifold.


    Raising his head, Walker Adam looked at Blaze Regret in confusion. If the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros were to act, even with the Blood Evasion Strike, the Blood Devouring Spider should have been dead by now.


    "I trust it," Blaze Regret said, watching the blood seeping from Red''s back. His pupils trembled slightly, but his voice was cold and resolute.


    Walker Adam pursed his lips and lowered his head, still somewhat bewildered.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Blood Devouring Spider lunged out, its sharp legs slicing through the air with a keen edge, leaving a long gash across the fur on Red''s head. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lowering his hand, Blaze Regret clenched and unclenched it repeatedly, letting out a soft sigh. If he were to let the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros intervene now, it might leave a significant scar in Red''s heart in the future.


    Spirit masters have their dignity, and spirit beasts have their pride as well. Just like when the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros fought against the Thunder lock Ape, he never let Red intervene; otherwise, with the temper of the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros, it would likely have been the first to turn against him.

 Chapter 273 - 273 Fighting Silver Van 4

    After all, the difference in their strength wasn''t that large.


    A sharp screeching sound seemed to emanate from all directions of the blood web. Blood shadows flickered rapidly, and in an instant, numerous wounds appeared all over Red''s body as its footing trembled slightly.


    Slowly lifting its eyelids, Red swiped off a blood thread with a claw, but in the next moment, a blood beam struck it hard, sending it rolling. Before it could stop, the Blood Devouring Spider''s figure suddenly darted out again, its long legs mercilessly piercing into Red''s back.


    "Ugh!"


    With limbs struggling to support itself on the ground, there was a horrifying gash on Red''s eyelid, yet its eyes remained sharp and fierce. Faint yellow flames flickered around it, as if brewing something.


    "Heh, look at it, like a stray dog getting beaten," Silver Ray laughed heartily, feeling quite satisfied. If not for Blaze Regret, he would have already humiliated Walker Adam thoroughly, without losing face in the process.


    "Hmph, he dared to take on Brother Van, overestimating himself," Stun Qistin snorted with pleasure. "Let him pretend; when he''s drained of all his blood, let''s see how he pretends!" Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The Blood Devouring Spider''s body emerged from a thread, carrying an overwhelming blood aura. Its long legs, gleaming with cold light, violently stabbed toward Red, this time aiming for its head.


    "Heh." Silver Van shook his head with a confident smile, looking at Blaze Regret with eyes full of mockery.


    "Clang!"


    Just as the tip of the leg was about to be only an inch from its body, Red suddenly lifted its head, its glass like eyes filled with furious killing intent. With a swift strike of its sharp claws, three arcs of pale yellow light were unleashed, sending the Blood Devouring Spider flying backward.


    "Struggling is merely the manifestation of a weakling''s incompetence," Silver Van said dismissively, his words dripping with contempt.


    Stunned by Red''s counterattack, the Blood Devouring Spider hesitated momentarily. The wounds covering Red would have caused any ordinary spirit beast to collapse from blood loss by now, yet it had endured for so long?


    As murderous intent flashed in its eyes, the Blood Devouring Spider prepared to merge with the web again for a lethal strike on Red. However, a scorching wave radiated from above, gradually raising the temperature of the surroundings.


    Clenching its teeth and fighting off the impending drowsiness, Red spread its claws, releasing a surge of pale yellow spiritual energy. It swiftly gathered above the web, causing the space there to warp subtly.


    "The Sun Flame Fall, perhaps," Blaze Regret murmured, his eyes narrowing slightly. His tense body finally began to relax. A fifth tier Three tail Sun Blaze Cat could comprehend a new spiritual skill, but its require luck and was as random as the Fire spike Ring.


    Judging by the current scene, Red had clearly gained the ability to perform a new spiritual skill.


    As it gazed at the distorted sky, Red''s claws clenched slightly, and the pale yellow spiritual energy gradually concentrated above the web, forming a series of light points. They resembled dazzling little suns, emitting intensely hot spiritual energy.


    "Blood Devouring Spider, deliver the final blow!" Silver Van shouted, a sudden sense of foreboding nagging at him.


    But as the Blood Devouring Spider descended, Red''s blood streaked face showed a hint of mockery. Its small, clenched paw slowly rose, then swiftly slashed downward.


    "Whoosh!"


    The small suns trembled slightly before descending in masse, trailing long fiery tails. The sharp sound of sonic booms erupted, lighting up the entire night sky as if it were day.


    The blood red web that spanned the sky and earth melted away like spring snow upon contact with the fist sized suns, emitting wisps of white smoke before vanishing. With the web gone, the Blood Devouring Spider was exposed in mid air, a look of panic on its face.


    "Boom!"


    A sun formed from the Three Tail Sun Blaze cat crashed heavily onto the Blood Devouring Spider, driving it into the ground. The resulting explosive force created gusts of wind that whipped wildly, forming whirlwinds across the ground.


    Following that, numerous small suns fell in succession, each exploding with brilliant light as they pounded into the crater, causing the entire street to shake violently as if during an earthquake.


    For a moment, the street fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the continuous thunder of exploding suns echoing through the night sky.


    Moments later, the small sun formed by Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat finally plunged entirely into the deep pit. The raging wind and sand, accompanied by the howling cold wind, rapidly swept into the distance.


    In that deep pit, a blurred figure covered in blood gradually emerged.


    Blood mixed with debris covered the body of the Blood Devouring Spider, with wisps of white smoke rising, making it look extremely miserable.


    With eyes full of disbelief, Silver Van spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his lips trembling slightly.


    After using the Blood oath technique, the Blood Devouring Spider could even kill some seventh level Imperial grade spirit beasts, yet it was defeated by a fifth level Imperial grade Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat?


    In the distance, Silver Ray and Stun Qistin were also utterly shocked. In their hearts, Silver Van was unbeatable among the younger generation, but the Blood Devouring Spider, lying there barely alive, shattered their belief.


    "Really ruthless!"


    In the darkness, countless eyes flickered, and then some enviously glanced at Blaze Regret. The Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat was already rare, and having such a spirit beast was incredible lucky. Its exceptional talent was even more rare.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret turned his gaze, looking calmly at Silver Van. In his open palm, a chilling aura spread, and a bone chilling ice blade quickly formed.


    Stared at by Blaze Regret''s emotionless eyes, Silver Van couldn''t help but shiver. He suddenly recalled how some predators seemed to have the same calm expression before hunting their prey.

 Chapter 274 - 274 Fighting Silver Van Final

    "Damn it, this kid is so troublesome. Where on earth did he come from!" Silver Van cursed inwardly. Of course, if he knew that the person who defeated Jack Mana some days ago was also this young man, he would regret his arrogance even more.


    "Kid, my father is the master of the Blood Seal Gate. If your stupid Cat dares to harm my Blood Devouring Spider, I will definitely make you regret it!"


    Seeing Red drag the Blood Devouring Spider out of the pit, Silver Van''s expression tightened, and he shouted urgently.


    However, in response to Silver Van''s threat, Red merely twitched its small ears expressionlessly. With its scarred little paw, it slowly lifted up and then, under countless shocked gazes, brutally pierced through the Blood Devouring Spider''s head.


    Blood splattered everywhere, and the onlookers hidden in the darkness all widened their eyes. That was Silver Van''s spirit beast, and this little guy actually dared to kill it?


    "Whoo!"


    Kicking the Blood Devouring Spider''s corpse into the pit, Red let out a satisfied low hum. A substantial wave emanated from its body, and its strength suddenly broke through to the sixth level at that moment!


    "Courting death!" Silver Van looked at Red, who had mercilessly killed his beast, and his face filled with endless killing intent. But in the next moment, Red''s sudden advancement made his expression turn ashen, looking as if he had swallowed a dead rat.


    His own spirit beast had become a stepping stone for someone else, and the anger in Silver Van''s heart was about to explode.


    "You reckless fool, just wait for the Blood Seal Gate''s revenge!" Silver Van had just cursed out when a sharp cold wind suddenly shot out like lightning. Wherever the ice blade passed, the speed of air flow dropped significantly.


    A trace of terror flashed in his eyes as Silver Van quickly ducked behind the high wall. The sharp ice blade embedded itself directly into the tree trunk behind the wall, leaving a long segment exposed. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Before he could even feel relieved, Silver Van''s expression changed suddenly. The sound of an explosion came from ahead, and a figure swiftly approached, mercilessly driving a powerful knee into his face.


    "Ugh!"


    Blood mixed with several teeth spewed out from his mouth, and Silver Van''s body flew backward in disarray.


    Suspended in the air, Silver Van''s face was blank. Since his birth, he had never experienced such treatment. Was this kid really not afraid at all of the Blood Seal Gate backing him?


    Before he could think it through, Silver Van''s body crashed heavily to the ground, the sound of bones breaking clearly echoing in the night. Silver Ray and Stun Qistin, faces filled with fear, twitched their eyelids violently.


    "Others might fear that so called Blood Seal Gate, but I''ve encountered many Spirit Imperial Master experts, and there are those who have fallen because of me," Blaze Regret said coldly, staring at Silver Van. In his palm, another ice blade rapidly formed, its pale blue glow particularly glaring in the pitch black night.


    "He''s courting death..."


    Watching the ice blade in Blaze Regret''s hand, Stun Qistin''s teeth chattered. That was the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, with a status far higher than Silver Ray''s. If anything happened to him, the entire Blood Stone Pass would erupt. Where did this country bumpkin come from, unaware of the power of a Spirit Lord Master?


    Beside Stun Qistin, Silver Ray was also filled with fear. The thought of Blaze Regret''s ruthless methods brought an inexplicable terror to his heart. After dealing with Silver Van, they might be next.


    "I admit you''re strong, but crossing the Blood Seal Gate will eventually lead to your downfall."


    Looking up at Blaze Regret, Silver Van''s blood stained teeth revealed a strange smile. Suddenly, with a loud bang, his arm exploded, releasing a cloud of blood mist.


    His body transformed into a streak of bloodlight, shooting out instantly and disappearing from Blaze Regret''s sight, leaving only a small blood speck in the distance on the street.


    "Such speed."


    Blaze Regret watched the diminishing blood speck with some astonishment. The speed Silver Van burst out with was five or six times faster than his own Flame Step, but the price was steep. His arm would never grow back.


    Turning his gaze, Blaze Regret''s cold eyes fell on Silver Ray.


    Feeling that gaze, Silver Ray''s hair stood on end. Without a second thought, he gritted his teeth, his arm exploding as he fled like lightning, leaving a panicked Stun Qistin behind.


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret was momentarily stunned. He had merely glanced at Silver Ray and had no intention of attacking, as such a person wasn''t worth his attention.


    The outcome was truly unexpected for him.


    If Silver Ray knew Blaze Regret''s thoughts, he would likely be infuriated to the point of spitting blood. He had lost a perfectly good arm for no reason!


    With flickering eyes, the figures in the darkness quickly dispersed after watching Blaze Regret, their emotions stirred deeply. Blaze Regret''s decisive and ruthless nature left a profound impression on them. Such a formidable person was best left unprovoked unless absolutely necessary.


    As for the consequences of this battle, it was not something they needed to worry about.


    Gently picking up Red, who had entered a dazed state, Blaze Regret retrieved a bottle of healing ointment from his void realms stone and carefully applied it to the fierce wounds. As for the Healing star technique, he refrained from using it. With so many prying eyes around, any leak of its existence could lead to endless trouble.


    Stood on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red contentedly squinted its eyes before drifting off to sleep.


    Despite growing stronger, its tendency to be sleepy hadn''t changed at all.


    "Stop!" Walker Adam called out coldly to Stun Qistin, who was trying to escape. Immediately, Stun Qistin''s body stiffened, and a deep sense of dread appeared on her face.


    Need help guy to support this novel

 Chapter 275 - 275

    Walker Adam looked at Stun Qistin with indifference, stepped forward expressionlessly, while Blaze Regret shrugged and began to carefully study the heavy ancient book of Master Magi from the Void realms Stone.


    Before long, he found a page containing the blood oath. Originally a brief introduction, it now became extremely detailed.


    Mysteriously, Blaze Regret suddenly had a strange feeling that this ancient book seemed alive. Whenever he encountered something new, information related to it would immediately appear in the book. For example, Walker Adam''s Heavenly Eye technique was initially only briefly mentioned, but after personally experiencing it, even some secrets appeared in the book.


    "What do you want to do!" Stun Qistin looked at Walker Adam, who was gradually approaching, and felt a sudden jolt in her heart. However, her charming face still carried a strong facade.


    "Let me warn you, I am Silver Ray''s future wife. If anything happens to me, the entire Walker Family will be implicated!" Stun Qistin''s cheeks trembled slightly as she spoke with a firm tone.


    "Too bad your fianc¨¦ abandoned you and ran away." Walker Adam sneered slightly, showing disdain that made Stun Qistin''s expression turn quite ugly. Just moments ago, Silver Ray had ignored her and fled alone, an action like a slap to her face, burning with humiliation. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Don''t worry, I have no intention of making things difficult for you. I just want you to inform the Stun family head that the Walker Family will no longer pay tribute," Walker Adam said calmly.


    Upon hearing this, Stun Qistin was slightly stunned, then looked at Walker Adam as if he were a monster. Are you out of your mind? Do you really want to bring annihilation upon your family?


    "With him?" Stun Qistin glanced at Blaze Regret, her mouth curling into deep mockery. Just a newly advanced sixth level spirit Imperial master who luckily defeated Silver Van, does he think he''s invincible?


    A frog at the bottom of a well!


    If you were to see the true foundation of my Stun family, you probably wouldn''t even be able to speak out of fear and would kneel for mercy on the spot.


    "Your vision is too narrow. Some things are not as simple as you think," Walker Adam said with a calm face, not in the mood to argue. Not to mention the terrifyingly powerful Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, if the ice type spirit beast in Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal awakened, even the head of the Blood Seal Gate would be cautious, let alone Stun Mat, the head of the Stun family.


    "What a joke. Just wait. In seven days, it will be time for the Walker Family to pay tribute again. Then, I''ll see what kind of waves a mere sixth level spirit Imperial master can stir up!"


    Stun Qistin sneered as she quickly retreated, her figure flickering and disappearing into the night, leaving only her unrestrained mocking laughter echoing down the street.


    Blaze Regret paid no attention to the scene, nor did he harbor any anger towards Stun Qistin. Such provocations had long since ceased to be worthy of his ire.


    "Blood Escape, one of the spiritual techniques mastered by spirit master of the Blood Oath Spiritual Technique, greatly increases one''s speed through self harm, making it a tool for escape," Blaze Regret murmured. It turned out that the Blood Oath technique included specific spiritual arts.


    This thought left him with a peculiar expression. He wondered if his own Ten Thousand spirit technique also contained spiritual techniques. Unfortunately, even Master Magi''s ancient book had little on the Ten Thousand spirit technique, and with Master Magi currently in slumber, Blaze Regret had to explore this on his own.


    After comforting the slightly anxious Walker Adam, Blaze Regret left a communication imprint on the sound transmitting shell and then headed towards Bloodstone Mountain, feeling at ease.


    Even if Stun Mat came personally, he might not gain any advantage over Blaze Regret. As for the Blood Seal gate, there was even less reason to worry. Blaze Regret was confident he could contend with any strong Spirit Master below the spirit Lord master level. If a spirit Lord master did appear, he would rely on Master Magi to release some imposing aura to intimidate them.


    From the situation at the Hundred Spirits Pool, it seemed that Master Magi could awaken for a shirt of time, so he could only hope that the Blood Seal Gate wouldn''t seek its own destruction.


    Bloodstone Mountain lay in serene silence.


    Under the gently swaying branches stirred by the breeze, Blaze Regret sat quietly. In front of him, a pill cauldron hovered gently. Inside the cauldron were three differently colored spiritual herbs: Nether Blossom, Dragon Solanum Fruit, and Ethereal Fragrant Grass.


    After spending so much time, he could finally open the fourth spirit portal.


    Blaze Regret smiled slightly as a pale yellow flame rose from his palm, tracing a graceful arc before falling into the cauldron. He felt quite confident about the success rate of refining the Heart Pill.


    Silence enveloped the mountains, and from above, only a faint flicker of firelight could be seen, softly dancing and crackling.


    The pitch black forest seemed drenched in ink, while overhead, dark clouds drifted slowly. A few brilliant stars squeezed through the gaps in the clouds, twinkled briefly, and then vanished.


    Soon, it was morning again.


    The horizon gradually brightened as a gentle breeze brushed past, carrying with it the fresh scent of leaves.


    Slowly opening his eyes, Blaze Regret saw thin wisps of white smoke wafting from the pill cauldron in front of him. The source of the smoke was a black pill, its dark hue shining like a gemstone.


    "This pill was surprisingly difficult to refine," he say softly.


    Picking up the Heart Pill, Blaze Regret looked weary but couldn''t hide the smile on his lips. Although it had taken the entire night to fully form the pill, the fourth spirit portal was finally about to appear.


    This was an additional spirit portal beyond what other spirit masters possessed!

 Chapter 276 - 276 The Rock Crumbling Palm

    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret tossed the Heart Pill into his mouth. Moments later, the Rock horn dragon Rhinoceros in his third spirit portal opened its eyes in puzzlement, staring directly at a spot beside it where a dark vortex was slowly rotating.


    The spinning vortex gradually formed into a circle, comparable in size to the other three spirit portals, emitting a vast energy that even stirred the Ice Lotus''s Ice control Irenix slightly.


    "Crack!"


    As the fourth spirit portal gradually manifested, Blaze Regret''s body trembled violently. The pain felt as if a piece of flesh was being torn from within him. Sweat poured from his forehead like rain as he clenched his teeth and thrust his hands into the soil, yet not a single sound escaped him.


    If Master Magi were awake, he would surely praise Blaze Regret, Seeing that his resilience had grown significantly compared to before. The pain that Blaze Regret endured would be enough to make an average spirit Imperial master faint multiple times.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s slightly contorted face, the fluffy tail of the Red gently caressed his cheek, a low whimper emanating from its mouth.


    "Boom!"


    In an instant, a tangible wave of energy surged outward. Blaze Regret suddenly stood up, feeling the increasingly vast spiritual power within him and the attributeless fourth spirit portal. His unrestrained laughter echoed through the mountains.


    "I, Blaze Regret, have finally made it through!"


    A layer of white mist covered the Bloodstone Mountains, and the distant dark forest appeared faintly visible. The grass on the ground glistened with rounded dewdrops, reflecting the sunlight.


    "Boom!"


    A loud sound suddenly echoed from the mountains. A young boy, with a hint of youthfulness on his face, struck a hard rock with his palm, which glowed with a silvery layer. The powerful recoil caused thin streams of bright red blood to flow from between his fingers, but he gritted his teeth and continued to strike the rock repeatedly.


    The Rock Crumbling Palm, being an earth elemental attack technique, was far more destructive than the Sun Flame Finger or the Ice Shard Blade. However, its training method was much more challenging, and the intense pain alone was enough to deter many spirit master.


    Sitting cross legged on the ground, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros calmly watched the determined face of Blaze Regret. The bright red blood stained most of the rock, creating a shocking sight.


    If it were an ordinary rock, it would have shattered long ago. However, the rock Blaze Regret was striking contained traces of mysterious crystal iron, making it difficult even for the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros to break it with a punch without using its spiritual techniques.


    "It really hurts!"


    Slowly withdrawing his slightly trembling palm, Blaze Regret panted heavily. The split wounds felt as if they were being scraped by a steel knife, causing a burning pain.


    With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret retrieved a healing ointment from his void realms stone, enduring the intense pain as he applied it generously to his wounds, spreading it evenly to allow full absorption.


    Healing the wounds was also part of the Rock Crumbling Palm training. Once healed, the palm would become even tougher. Thus, even with the Healing star technique at his disposal, Blaze Regret never used it.


    The third grade healing ointment worked quickly, and after half an hour, Blaze Regret looked at his still slightly swollen palm, gritted his teeth, and struck the rock again with fierce force. Each strike caused sweat to continuously drip from his forehead due to the pain.


    This scene continued for several days.


    "Break for me!"


    Blaze Regret''s cold eyes stared at the blood red rock as he let out a fierce shout. His silver cast palm, infused with a violent force, struck out. With a loud bang, fine cracks spread rapidly from beneath his palm, quickly covering the entire rock.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of shattering echoed as the rock, containing traces of mysterious crystal iron, exploded into fragments. Sharp pieces flew out, embedding themselves into the ancient trees around.


    As he lifted his hand, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros crushed a piece of rock fragment, and a slight emotional ripple finally appeared in its usually indifferent eyes.


    "Phew!"


    Looking at the scattered fragments, Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile as he exhaled a long breath. After several days of effort and countless amounts of expensive healing ointment, his mastery of the Rock Crumbling Palm had finally reached a decent level.


    Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his right palm lifted instinctively to strike out as a fierce force from the right side attacked like lightning.


    "Boom!"


    Two hands of completely different proportions clashed, and an invisible wave of force expanded, sweeping up fallen leaves and twigs from the ground, blowing them into the distance. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In the next moment, Blaze Regret''s body shook as he retreated step by step. Each time his foot landed, it left a noticeable dent in the ground, and he finally stopped after retreating dozens of steps.


    Seeing Blaze Regret unharmed, a trace of astonishment flashed in the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s eyes. Even without using any spiritual techniques, it could easily crush a spirit beast of the same rank. If the Dragon Seal was activated, it could even battle a ninth rank Imperial grade spirit beast. Yet Blaze Regret had managed to withstand its strike using only his physical strength?


    Though his arm felt slightly numb, a satisfied smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s lips. While his strength still couldn''t compare with the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, it was more than enough to deal with other seventh rank Imperial grade spirit beasts.


    Now, even if all three of his spirit beasts were absent, he possessed a reliable life saving card.


    "Beep!"


    Just as Blaze Regret took a bite of the fruit offered by the Red, the communication shell at his waist suddenly started ringing, and the flashing pearl mark indicated it was from Walker Adam.

 Chapter 277 - 277 Greed

    "Take what you can, give nothing back. Now, it''s finally time to repay the favor," Blaze Regret muttered as he quickly finished off the bright red fruit, tossing the pit into the distance. He then recalled the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, mounted the Red, and set off toward the Walker family estate.


    A faint yellow streak of light blurred through the mountains as he rode swiftly.


    At the Bloodstone Pass, in front of the Walker family gates, a group of young men with mocking expressions surrounded Walker Adam, who stood with determination. Beside him, a woman of striking beauty glared at him in anger.


    "I''ll say it again: the Walker family will not pay tribute anymore!" Walker Adam declared fearlessly, staring down the young men, who bore the insignia of the Stun family on their chests. His firm words echoed with conviction.


    "Did I hear that right? Since when does the young master of the walker family dare speak to us like that?" The youths burst into laughter. Although they weren''t of high status within their own clan, mocking the Walker family''s young master gave them a twisted sense of superiority.


    "Walker Adam, have you lost your mind? Do you want to bring disaster upon our Walker family?" Walker Nani scolded him angrily. Paying the tribute would ensure peace for another month why not take the easy route? For her, survival was paramount, no matter the means.


    "Sister, are you really content to watch as the Walker family, once on par with the Blood Seal Gate, is trampled by a second rate power?" Walker Adam felt a pang of sadness. The Stun family, who used to treat him with respect, now dared to insult him openly.


    Sometimes, he would rather be beaten to death than endure such humiliation.


    "Dwelling on the past is nothing but a joke."


    Walker Nani shook her head in pity, then snapped, "A few days ago, you and some stranger injured the young master of the Blood Seal Gate. Such audacity! After we pay the tribute, you''re coming with me to the Blood Seal Gate to beg for forgiveness!"


    Walker Adam stared at Walker Nani, his mouth slightly open but no words came out. Did he hear her right? Despite Silver Ray and Silver Van being the initial aggressors, his own sister wanted him to bow and apologize?


    "Regret it now, do you?" Stun Qistin stood at a distance, glaring venomously at Walker Adam. She silently vowed that if he dared to go to the Blood Seal Gate, she would make him wish for death.


    "By the way, where''s that boy who was with you?"


    Stun Tuah, the young man leading the group, picked his ear as he watched the drama unfold with amusement. Mentioning Blaze Regret made Walker Nani''s expression quickly darken.


    As Stun Tuah finished speaking, Walker Adam couldn''t help but internally roll his eyes. If Blaze Regret really appeared here, these people wouldn''t even have the chance to mock him. They would likely be knocked to the ground before uttering a few words.


    "Yes, where is that kid? Quickly bring him here. Maybe the Stun Family might show some mercy and spare his life," Stun Qistin said coldly to Walker Adam. Although she had already see how Silver Van''s defeat at Blaze Regret''s hands, she didn''t believe it at all. She couldn''t think of any reason other than a fluke victory.


    "No, apologies won''t work. We must skin him alive to quell our young lady''s anger," Stun Tuah glanced at Stun Qistin and said sinisterly.


    "Yes, he must die!" Several other members of the Stun Family chimed in, their faces displaying arrogant expressions as if they held Blaze Regret''s life and death in their hands.


    "Sis, trust me, with Brother Blaze''s strength, even if Stun Zen came, he wouldn''t gain any advantage," Walker Adam said anxiously, trying hard to persuade Walker Nani. He knew his elder sister''s temper very well, and if she angered Blaze Regret and he didn''t help, it would be trouble.

    "Haha, did I hear that right? A nobody from who knows where can be compared to our family head? It''s utterly laughable!" Stun Tuah burst into laughter, and the other Stun Family members laughed heartily, thinking it was the funniest joke they''d heard all year.


    "Walker Adam, what are you thinking! That kid is nothing but a fraud, possibly even wanting to harm our Walker family. How could you believe him? It''s hopeless!" Walker Nani glared at Walker Adam in disappointment. In her mind, Blaze Regret was already a villain.


    Looking anxiously into the distance, Walker Adam turned back, about to say something, when Stun Tuah lost all patience.


    "Hurry up and pay this month''s tribute. I''m not in the mood to chat with you," Stun Tuah said coldly, frowning.


    "Alright, no problem," Walker Nani nodded repeatedly and quickly handed over a gold card. Stun Tuah''s eyes lit up as he took it, even taking advantage in the process.


    Unexpectedly, Walker Nani didn''t show the slightest anger; instead, she wore a smiling face, which made Walker Adam feel hopeless inside. He suddenly had the urge to escape from this family.


    Besides him, it seemed like all the members of the Stun Family had already compromised. Even his father stayed behind closed doors all day, drowning in alcohol, and his sister went even further, fawning over the oppressors.


    "That''s not enough. Walker Adam still has a 150,000 gold coin card. I saw it a few days ago at the black market," Stun Qistin suddenly spoke up, her smile malicious.


    "150,000 gold coins?" Stun Tuah''s eyes immediately gleamed with greed upon hearing this. If Walker Adam indeed had such an amount, it would be an unexpected windfall that they wouldn''t need to hand over to the family, allowing them to distribute it among themselves. Of course, Stun Qistin would take the largest share.


    Even so, the other Stun Family members looked at Walker Adam with fiery eyes, eager to tear him apart.

 Chapter 278 - 278 Borrowed Knife

    "Where did you get so much money?" Walker Nani sharply turned to Walker Adam, thinking this would surely bring trouble to the Walker family. If Stun Zen found out, the tribute they had to pay would increase again.


    "That''s not mine; it belongs to Brother Blaze!" Walker Adam''s voice was filled with anger. These people were even scheming against Blaze Regret?


    "Hmph, I knew it. That person is harming our Walker family. Get him here quickly and hand over all his assets to the Stun Family, or I''ll immediately take people to end his life!" Walker Nani declared arrogantly, as if everything belonging to Blaze Regret was hers to control.


    In the distance, Stun Qistin''s eyes held a hint of mockery. This was exactly the result she wanted using a borrowed knife to kill someone who might help them. It was a delightful situation. Even though Blaze Regret had advanced to a sixth level spirit Imperial master, the vast Walker family was like a centipede that wouldn''t die easily.


    If they attacked with full force to encircle and kill Blaze Regret, it would be a walk in the park.


    "Sis, how can you be like this!" Walker Adam looked at Walker Nani as if she were a stranger. To curry favor with the Stun Family, she had lost all bottom lines. If she had the courage, why not stand up to the Stun Family? Was it just because Blaze Regret seemed easier to bully than the Stun Family?


    "What did I do? Everything I do is for the family," Walker Nani retorted self righteously, her face even showing some pride as if she genuinely believed she had no choice but to act for the Walker family''s benefit.


    "If you want the gold card, you won''t get it, take my life instead!" Walker Adam turned his gaze, glaring fiercely at Stun Tuah. His slightly pale face flushed red with anger.


    "You really don''t know what''s good for you!" Walker Nani''s chest heaved slightly, her face filled with indignation. Once the Stun Family members left, she would surely report Walker Adam''s unreasonable behavior to their father.


    "Do you really think I don''t dare to touch you?" Stun Tuah frowned slightly under Walker Adam''s furious gaze. Then, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he swung it fiercely towards Walker Adam''s face.


    In the past, he would never have had the courage to make a move, but now the Walker family had fallen on hard times. With Stun Qistin backing him, as long as he didn''t kill Walker Adam, no one would dare trouble him.


    As the fierce cold wind howled, Walker Adam didn''t even blink, clenching his teeth tightly. His innate pride made him prefer to take the punch rather than bow his head to the Stun Family members.


    "Bringing this upon yourself," Stun Qistin scoffed lightly, a disdainful, mocking smile slowly spreading across her lips.


    Seeing Stun Tuah''s fist swing, Walker Nani was initially shocked, but then she calmed herself. Letting Walker Adam suffer a bit might prevent future disasters that could implicate her.


    "Sigh, I''m doing this for your own good," Walker Nani sighed softly, as if she were truly concerned for Walker Adam.


    Just as a sinister smile appeared at the corner of Stun Tuah''s mouth, a whirlwind like figure suddenly swept in. A fist carrying a slight force landed squarely on his nose.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of a nasal bone breaking echoed as Stun Tuah, like a kite with a broken string, crashed to the ground with a thud, leaving a long trail on the ground as he slid backward.


    "I have plenty of gold, but I''m not keen on giving it away."


    Gently rubbing his knuckles, Blaze Regret''s mouth held a faint smile. His emotionless voice resonated at the Walker family''s entrance, causing the surrounding air to become still in that moment.


    Staring at Stun Tuah who was sent flying backwards, Walker Nani and several members of the Stun Family were slightly stunned. In the distance, Stun Qistin trembled slightly and involuntarily took a step back.


    With the help of several clan members, Stun Tuah was hurriedly supported to his feet. He glared fiercely at Blaze Regret, and a nimble spirit beast manifested beside him.


    The spirit beast had a head resembling a wasp and was exceptionally fierce. Its brown armor tightly wrapped its body, and its hands were two gleaming blades with a hint of pale blue cold light slowly flowing along the edges.


    This creature was known as the "Double Edged Wasp," a high level fifth tier Imperial grade spirit beast with wind attributes. Its sharp blades were exceptionally swift, capable of slicing an enemy into several segments in mere moments.


    Upon seeing Stun Tuah summon his spirit beast, the remaining members of the Stun Family also flashed a fierce glint in their eyes. Different spirit beasts appeared around them, their gaze fixed ominously on Blaze Regret.


    "Who are you?" Walker Nani asked Blaze Regret. A moment later, realization dawned on her, and anger surged onto her face. "It''s you, isn''t it? You injured Silver Ray and Silver Van. You''re a reckless fool, a frog at the bottom of the well, unaware of the might of a spirit Lord master. Kneel and beg for mercy, seek Stun Family''s forgiveness, and then go to Bloodstone Pass to accept punishment!"


    Glancing briefly behind him, Blaze Regret noticed the helpless expression on Walker Adam''s face and smiled gently. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "All of you, come at me together."


    Upon hearing this, Stun Qistin, hiding in the corner, sneered with happy face. Stun Tuah''s Double Edged Wasp was renowned for its speed. As long as it could entangle the fire Cat for a moment, the remaining spirit beasts could easily tear Blaze Regret to pieces.


    "What arrogance," Walker Nani thought disdainfully after a brief pause.


    Only Walker Adam showed a look of relief on his face.


    "Double Edged Wasp, chop off that brat''s hands for me!" Stun Tuah''s eyes were as sharp as drawn swords, fixed intently on Blaze Regret. If he didn''t take this kid down, he''d no longer bear the surname Stun!

 Chapter 279 - 279 Head Elder

    With a tap of its feet on the ground, the Double Edged Wasp shot forward coldly before any other spirit beasts could charge. Its sharp blades emitted a chilling cold light and slashed down.


    The blue blade light traced a smooth crescent arc in the air.


    The piercing spiritual energy swept in, yet Red didn''t even blink and continued to sleep soundly, even murmuring in his dream. This made Walker Adam beside him sign internally, but due to his understanding of Blaze Regret, he wisely chose to remain silent.


    The sharp blades of the Double Edged Wasp were reflected in Blaze Regret''s eyes. He slightly lifted the corner of his mouth and slowly raised his right hand.


    "Fool!" Stun Tuah and the others sneered. The blades of the Double Edged Wasp were something even sixth tier Imperial grade spirit beasts wouldn''t dare confront directly. Did Blaze Regret really think he could withstand them?


    "Clang!"


    However, in the next moment, Stun Tuah and the others'' ridicule froze on their faces. Blaze Regret, with an air of ease, simply extended two fingers and gently caught the fierce blades of the Double Edged Wasp between them, stopping them in their tracks.


    "Impossible!" Stun Qistin''s eyes widened in shock, and even Walker Nani looked horrified, her face twisted as if she had seen a ghost.


    "With such little strength, it''s better not to embarrass yourself."


    With a slight smile, Blaze Regret applied gentle pressure with his fingers, and the blades of the Double Edged Wasp shattered with a cracking sound. The sharp fragments, carried by fierce winds, swept across the area.


    "Ah!"


    A series of blood curdling screams erupted as several members of the Stun Family fell to the ground with a thud. Their spirit beasts were also pierced through vital points by the shattered blades.


    A warm trickle of blood flowed down his forehead. Stun Tuah opened his mouth, but ultimately, with a look of shock, he collapsed weakly.


    With a gentle push of his hand, the lifeless Double Edged Wasp crashed to the ground. Blaze Regret looked at his silver tinged fingers with satisfaction, feeling that the pain he endured these past days had not been in vain.


    "Is this guy a monster?" Stun Qistin''s lips trembled as she immediately turned to flee without a second thought. Blaze Regret paid no attention to her actions; what was meant to come would eventually come, and it was best to resolve these matters sooner rather than later.


    "Brother Blaze, how did you train your fingers? Is it a rock type spirit technique?" Walker Adam asked, his eyes filled with curiosity at Blaze Regret''s gradually fading fingers. Even a ninth tier spirit Imperial master wouldn''t be able to deal with the Stun Family''s spirit beasts so decisively and swiftly with spirit techniques, would they?


    You must understand that the destructive power of spirit techniques cannot be compared to spiritual skills!


    Blaze Regret merely shrugged at Walker Adam''s amazement. If Walker Adam knew that Blaze Regret hadn''t even utilized ten percent of the Rock Crumbling Palm''s power, his jaw would likely drop in shock.


    Bending down, Blaze Regret took the gold coin card from Stun Tuah''s waist. With a flick of his fingers, the light green card ended up in Walker Adam''s clothing, accompanied by a broad smile.


    "Do you even know what you''re doing?" Walker Nani snapped back to her senses and glared angrily at Blaze Regret. However, he didn''t spare her a glance and simply followed Walker Adam into the Walker Family''s mansion, ignoring her to the point that she gritted her teeth in frustration.


    The Walker Family''s courtyard was even more luxurious than the Jack family''s, yet it was notably sparse in terms of people. Blaze Regret didn''t encounter a single Walker Family member during his long walk.


    "They''ve all gone out to hunt spirit beasts. After all, the spirit cores can be sold for gold coins, which are needed to pay tribute to the Stun Family," Walker Adam explained with a shrug, clearly disapproving of this situation.


    Blaze Regret was speechless. To be bullied to this extent and still not fight back if this were the Blaze family, even without Blaze Ash, the two elders would be the first to fight back with everything they had.


    Finding a chair, Blaze Regret sat down comfortably as Walker Adam quickly poured him some tea. Walker Adam''s Heavenly Eye ability was on the verge of breaking through, and he could already vaguely see signs of awakening in Blaze Regret''s second spirit portal.


    "Walker Adam, get him out of here immediately! Do you know the trouble he''s caused?" Walker Nani stormed in, glaring fiercely at Blaze Regret. It wouldn''t be long before the Stun Family''s strongmen arrived, and then Blaze Regret would realize just how foolish he had been!


    Walker Adam, with a face full of helplessness, opened his mouth to say something, but an angry, elderly voice suddenly echoed from outside.


    "Who killed the people of the Stun Family? Come out!"


    Hearing the voice, a mocking sneer quickly appeared on Walker Nani''s lips.


    With an angry shout, an elder in a white robe stormed in, his eyes quickly locking onto Blaze Regret, who sat there with a calm demeanor that only fueled the elder''s rage. This individual was Walker Sin, the head elder of the Walker Family, who had rushed back in a hurry after receiving a somewhat exaggerated message from Walker Nani.


    "Adam, who is this boy!" Walker Sin''s gaze shifted coldly from Blaze Regret to Walker Adam, his roaring voice like thunder descending from the heavens.


    Blaze Regret lifted his eyelids slightly, a trace of indifference flashing in his eyes. As the head elder of the Walker Family, Walker Sin possessed only sixth tier imperial grade strength, which spoke volumes about the current downfall of the Walker Family.


    "Elder, do you not agree with my actions either?" Walker Adam''s lips curled into a bitter smile. It was clear that Walker Sin''s return was to hold him accountable.

 Chapter 280 - 280 Stun Elder

    "Young friend, please leave on your own. If you have made a mistake, you must bear the consequences yourself. Do not drag our Walker Family into this," Walker Sin said coldly, flicking his robe sleeve.


    Walker Nani''s face showed even more happy face at this sight.


    Blaze Regret took a sip of tea, gently set down the cup, and leaned lazily against the chair back. He raised his hand, gently rubbing the soft little ear of Red, who responded contentedly, rubbing its little head against his hand.


    Seeing that Blaze Regret showed no reaction, Walker Sin''s beard bristled like an enraged wolf. He said coldly, "Young friend, must I personally throw you out?"


    With a sigh, Blaze Regret opened his eyes and said slowly, "Elder Walker, I show respect to Walker Adam and hence treat you with some courtesy. But you must understand, I''m here only to repay a favor to Walker Adam, not for the Walker Family. Once the favor is repaid, I will naturally leave."


    "Then I decide that the favor is unnecessary," Walker Sin waved dismissively, as if shooing away a fly. To him, this young boy, no matter how strong, was not worth the trouble. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Exactly, some people really think too highly of themselves, always acting so self important," Walker Nani said, fanning the flames.


    "Elder..."


    Walker Adam had a wry smile on his face and was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed drastically, and his gaze swiftly turned toward the family entrance.


    "Boom!"


    The tightly closed gate of the Walker family shattered abruptly, scattering wooden debris everywhere. A bronze colored streak of light shot out fiercely, slashing towards Blaze Regret, who was seated.


    The streak of light resembled a luminous wheel, its edges glinting with an extremely sharp sheen, with several faint arcs spinning rapidly around the wheel, emitting a nerve wracking buzzing sound.


    With a slight raise of his eyebrows, Blaze Regret swiftly evaded the chair in a few quick movements. The bronze wheel instantly sliced it in half, then passed through the room''s wall, its terrifying spiritual energy tearing a huge, menacing crack into the solid ground.


    "Who killed someone from my Stun family, get out here!"


    An elder with a gloomy face stood on the remnants of the wooden door, grimly surveying the Walker Family''s courtyard. The sharp wheel descended from the sky, slowly landing beside him.


    As the light faded, a bronze colored round figure gradually emerged.


    It was a peculiar spirit beast, its body shaped like a disc forged from metal, but with a double sided structure. Each side bore a bulging eye that rotated slowly in opposite directions, with the faint sound of its turning wheels clicking crisply.


    "The third elder of the Stun family, Stun Kimci!"


    Walker Sin''s face darkened as he looked at the spirit beast hovering in mid air, and his heart sank further.


    Steel Disk, a mid level seventh tier Imperial grade spirit beast with metallic attributes, has edges sharp enough to tear through solid steel when spinning at high speed. It''s extremely fierce among spirit beasts of the same tier.


    "Look at the trouble you''ve caused!" Walker Sin glared angrily at Blaze Regret. The Walker Family''s strongest warrior was the family head, Walker Kimi, but even he wasn''t fully confident about defeating Stun Kimci. This boy was going to be the end of the Walker Family!


    "Elder Stun, this is all his doing and has nothing to do with the Walker Family. Please be merciful and don''t implicate us," Walker Sin hurriedly stepped forward, bowing deeply, and without a second thought, pushed the blame onto Blaze Regret.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Walker Sin finished speaking, a brilliant blue light descended from the sky, slicing through the air with a sharp sound. It hovered steadily mid air, resembling a giant ice fish with wings formed of solid ice extending from its sides, gently flapping.


    On the back of this ice fish stood two figures, one being Stun Qistin, who wore a cold smile, and the other causing Blaze Regret''s eyes to narrow slightly.


    It was Stun haze, the head elder of the Stun family!


    "You little brat, I didn''t expect the cause of such a commotion to be you," Stun haze said, standing on the ice fish''s back, looking down at Blaze Regret with a voice tinged with a hint of murderous intent.


    "An eighth tier spirit Imperial master, huh," Blaze Regret murmured to himself. Although both were eighth tier spirit Imperial masters, the aura Stun haze emitted was significantly stronger than Tan Hong''s.


    "The beast under Stun haze''s feet is an eighth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast called the Ice Pike Fish. Though it has wings, its flight speed isn''t fast," Walker Adam quietly advised from the side.


    As more powerful figures arrived, Walker Nani had already retreated to a safe distance, casting a gleeful, taunting look at Blaze Regret, eager to see how he''d meet his end.


    "Old man, I can handle this. You just watch," Stun Kimci completely ignored Walker Sin, who was bowing and scraping nearby. His indifferent eyes glanced at Blaze Regret as he said slowly, "Just a sixth tier spirit Imperial master daring to provoke my Stun family? It seems my Stun family has been too quiet for too long."


    "You little wretch, how dare you touch someone from my Stun family! Prepare to die!"


    Stun Kimci''s voice suddenly turned sharp as Steel Disk''s spinning sides began to rotate rapidly. It then shot out with unparalleled force, tearing through the air like a lightning bolt, hurtling towards Blaze Regret.


    In front of its body, a bronze colored light arc emerged, expanding and contracting while emitting an extremely sharp aura.


    Watching Steel Disk transform into a wheel of light, Blaze Regret''s lips curled slightly upward. He then stomped on the ground, creating a sound like an explosion in the air, and his body shot forward to meet Steel Disk head on.

    "Not even bothering to summon a spirit beast?" Stun Kimci sneered coldly, as if he could already envision Blaze Regret being split in two. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As he dashed forward, Blaze Regret opened his right palm, which was enveloped in a silvery sheen. His spiritual power surged as he aimed a heavy strike at the side of Steel Disk.


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret''s silvery white palm landed solidly on Steel Disk''s side. With a loud bang, a powerful spiritual energy shockwave erupted from the point of contact, violently tearing layers of stone surface below.


    With his palm pressed against Steel Disk, Blaze Regret''s eyes remained indifferent. Suddenly, a faint cracking sound was heard. Beneath his palm, cracks quickly spread, instantly covering one side of Steel Disk''s body.


    Upon witnessing this, everyone present widened their eyes, especially Stun Kimci, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning, his face frozen in shock.


    His Steel Disk had withstood attacks from high level seventh tier imperial grade spirit beasts, and yet now, it was shattered by this seemingly frail young man with just one palm?


    "I must be dreaming!" Stun Qistin, standing on the ice spike fish, trembled and nearly fell. Fortunately, Stun Haze was quick to pull her back.


    Grabbing Stun Qistin''s arm, Stun Haze''s face turned ashen as he stared intently at Blaze Regret, a strong killing intent rising from the depths of his heart. This young man was too dangerous and must not be allowed to grow!


    Below, Walker Sin was already dumbfounded, while Walker Nani was shaking like a leaf. Looking at Blaze Regret''s calm face felt like a cold snake crawling up her spine.


    Earlier, she had mocked such a ruthless person? Just thinking about Blaze Regret''s merciless killing made her shiver as if a cold wind had blown through her heart. If it weren''t for Walker Adam''s sake, Blaze Regret might have already killed her with a single palm.


    As Blaze Regret slightly retracted his hand, the cracked side of Steel Disk''s body shattered with a crisp sound. Countless bronze fragments clattered to the ground, leaving only half suspended in the air, devoid of life.


    "You dare to kill it!" Stun Kimci''s shock was replaced by intense rage. In the vast Bloodstone Pass, only the Blood Seal Gate made the Stun family wary, and now this unknown brat dared to kill his spirit beast?


    "Slap!"


    With an indifferent expression, Blaze Regret extended his hand, catching the disk like remnants of Steel Disk''s body. His cold gaze slowly turned towards Stun Kimci.


    Stared down by Blaze Regret''s piercing eyes, Stun Kimci swallowed the curses he was about to hurl. A sudden, inexplicable fear surged within him.


    That look clearly showed a murderous intent!


    "Stop right now, or I''ll have your skin peeled and bones broken!" Stun Haze shouted in anger, his voice echoing loudly as he realized Blaze Regret''s intentions and felt a slight panic.


    With a slight smirk, Blaze Regret watched Stun Kimci retreating and fiercely flicked his wrist. The sharp remnants of Steel Disk whistled through the air, shooting forward.


    "Splurt!"


    The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed as Stun Kimci''s body was pinned against the wall by the bronze shards, with hot blood dripping down, staining the shattered wooden door.


    Walker Sin''s face twitched slightly, filled with intense fear. A seventh grade Spirit Imperial Master was taken down just like that?


    "You''re courting death!"


    A thunderous roar came from the sky as Stun Haze, standing on the ice spoke fish, shot down swiftly, his old face filled with an unmistakable murderous intent.


    Unless he grinds this brat into dust, his fury won''t be appeased!


    Blaze Regret calmly lifted his head, feeling the cold wind rushing towards him. With one hand forming seals, the third spiritual portal quickly took shape, revealing a faint, towering figure.


    Though Stun Haze''s ice spike fish was formidable, if the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous joined the fray, it would only take a few more punches. Unless Stun Zen intervened personally, Blaze Regret felt no pressure at all.


    "Hmm?"


    Just as the ice spike fish was about to descend, a cold snowflake suddenly landed on Blaze Regret''s nose, causing him to frown slightly.


    It started snowing? And... it seemed to be black snow.


    "This isn''t good!"


    The body of the ice spike fish suddenly halted in mid air, and Stun Haze''s expression darkened slightly. Beside him, Stun Qistin''s face also showed a slight change.


    After hesitating for a moment, Stun Haze shot a fierce glare at Blaze Regret, then quickly commanded the ice spike fish to turn and speedily move away, his chilling voice echoing through the sky.


    "You little wretch, I''ll let you live a few more days. I''ve marked your life!"


    Hearing this voice, Blaze Regret paused, and the partially formed spiritual portal gradually dissipated. He turned his gaze, somewhat confused, toward Walker Adam.


    "It''s black snow, the bat tide has appeared!" Walker Adam said, opening his palm to reveal tiny black snowflakes melting from the warmth. His voice carried a slight excitement.


    "Bat tide?" Blaze Regret frowned, as he wasn''t very familiar with Bloodstone Pass.


    "Brother Blaze, you might not know, but to the north of Bloodstone Pass, there''s a place called the Black Abyss. Before it opens, the frigid bats in the surrounding mountains are strongly disturbed and rush towards the towns, hunting the living creatures there," Walker Adam explained solemnly.


    "Black Abyss?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up. Indeed, it was almost time to enter the Black Abyss. For the people of Bloodstone Pass, this might be bad news, but for him, it was undoubtedly good news.


    "Young friend, earlier..."


    After a moment of silence, Walker Sin gritted his teeth and bowed to Blaze Regret, only to see that Blaze Regret didn''t even glance at him. Instead, he grabbed Walker Adam and rushed outside.


    "Tell me more about the bat tide," Blaze Regret said with a light smile as they quickly left the Walker family estate.

 Chapter 282 - 282 Arrogant

    Watching their backs, Walker Sin''s face turned ashen, and he slumped to the ground, looking as if he had just let a great opportunity slip through his fingers.


    To be able to shatter Steel Disk with one palm, Blaze Regret''s strength was at least that of a ninth grade Spirit Imperial Master, a force capable of challenging Stun Zen!


    Even though his perception was mistaken, it didn''t stop him from being filled with regret. Moreover, Blaze Regret indeed had the confidence to face a ninth grade Spirit Imperial Master head on.


    Hiding in a corner, Walker Nani felt a burning shame on her face. From the beginning, Blaze Regret never paid her any attention. Perhaps her actions were nothing more than a clown''s antics in his eyes.


    "However, the frigid bats aren''t so easy to deal with. He might end up dying there."


    Thinking of this, a strong look of malice appeared on Walker Nani''s face. She then summoned a wind bird and disappeared from the Walker family''s courtyard.


    Looking up, Blaze Regret smacked his lips gently, his eyes filled with a hint of surprise. The high wall, once deserted, was now bustling with people. Figures moved back and forth upon it, and the noisy sounds echoed above, reminiscent of a flock of sparrows gathered together.


    "All the spirit masters within the Blood Stone Pass must be here," Blaze Regret murmured softly. Judging from the aura emanating from these people, at least thirty percent of them possessed the power of a spirit Imperial master.


    "That''s right. Every time the Bat Tide erupts, all the spirit Imperial masters gather here to collectively resist the onslaught of the Frost Bats. If anyone is cowardly or afraid to fight, the people from the Blood Seal Gate will hunt them down afterward," Walker Adam nodded slightly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was momentarily dazed. In the entire Velorian City, there were only a few dozen spirit Imperial masters, yet hundreds stood on this high wall. No wonder many families, even with spirit Inperial master experts, dared not provoke them lightly. Such a gathering of power was terrifying.


    "Brother Blaze, let''s go up too," Walker Adam whispered, pointing to an empty spot. It was evidently the Walker family''s designated area.


    Although the Walker family was currently in decline compared to the Blood Seal Gate and the Stun family, many spirit masters along the way made way for Walker Adam upon seeing him. Only a few looked on with disdain.


    Once on the high wall, Blaze Regret''s gaze swept across, and a faint trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes. Walker Sin and Walker Nani were already standing there.


    "My friend..."


    Walker Sin, thick skinned, was just about to make small talk with Blaze Regret when the latter immediately averted his gaze toward another direction.


    Walker Sin smiled awkwardly and lowered his head, not daring to say another word for fear of provoking Blaze Regret. Beside him, Walker Nani''s eyes flashed with a trace of resentment.


    "Brother Blaze, those are the people from the Blood Seal Gate," Walker Adam said, nodding towards the central position on the high wall.


    Blaze Regret cast his gaze in the direction Walker Adam indicated and immediately spotted Silver Van and Silver Ray. Both had somber expressions, and their empty sleeves swayed gently in the cold wind.


    Seeing the drastic changes in the two, many spirit masters were taken aback, whispering to those beside them before an uproar erupted. A few discreetly glanced at Blaze Regret. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Blaze Regret ignored these looks and scanned the area, yet he could not find the figure he was expecting.


    "Walker Adam, isn''t the Blood Seal Gate''s master here?" Blaze Regret asked with a frown.


    "Strangely enough, Silver Lucas has been lingering around the entrance to the Black Nether Abyss these past few days and hasn''t returned to the Blood Seal Gate. No one knows what he''s up to," Walker Adam shrugged nonchalantly.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed. Could there be something in the Black Nether Abyss that''s attracting Silver Lucas? This would mean that the journey there in a few days might not be so straightforward.


    "Is he the one who killed the Third Elder?"


    A harsh voice came from afar. Blaze Regret turned his head to see Stun Haze, with a gloomy face, and Stun Qistin, whose eyes were filled with hostility, coming into view.


    Both were staring directly at him.


    In response, Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly. Only the middle aged man beside Stun Haze made him feel slightly concerned. The man was undoubtedly Stun Zen, the head of the Stun family and a ninth level spirit Imperial master.


    "Just a small ant. Find an opportunity to get rid of him later."


    Stun Hazen glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently and turned away expressionlessly, showing little anger. In his mind, Blaze Regret was already a dead man, and there was no value in getting angry over a dead person.


    Black snowflakes fell silently, resembling black dandelions. This peculiar sight captured little interest, except for Red on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, who playfully toyed with the snowflakes using the flames on its claws.


    On the high wall, there were quite a few young female spirit masters whose eyes sparkled with little stars upon seeing Red. The alluring state of the Three tail Sun Blaze Cat appeared exceptionally beautiful.


    "Hehe, Old Walker, you''re still standing in this spot? I really don''t know who gave you the face to do so."


    At this moment, a grating voice suddenly rang out. A rugged looking young man stood with his arms crossed, sneering at Walker Sin with a look of blatant provocation on his face.


    Upon hearing this voice, Walker Sin''s expression instantly became extremely unpleasant.


    The sudden disruption caused many on the high wall to focus their attention, even Stun Haze and others smirked, eager to watch the drama unfold.


    "That''s Steel Mark from the Steel Family. At a young age, he''s already broken through to become a sixth level spirit Imperial master. The Steel Family, led by him, has always wanted to replace the Walker family''s position in Blood Stone Pass," Walker Adam explained, his young face showing a hint of anger.

 Chapter 283 - 283 Courting Death

    Clearly, this man named Steel Mark had frequently caused trouble for the Walker family.


    "Steel Mark, don''t go too far!" Walker Sin couldn''t suppress his anger, shouting as his graying beard bristled in fury.


    The Stun family was powerful, and the Walker family couldn''t afford to provoke them for the time being. But the Steel Family, with only a sixth level spirit Imperial master, also wanted to trample them? This made Walker Sin feel immensely insulted.


    "Old Walker, you''re really getting old," Steel Mark sneered, shaking his head before suddenly stomping his foot. A powerful spiritual force surged toward Walker Sin, causing him to stagger backward.


    Steadying himself, Walker Sin''s face was filled with astonishment. Steel Mark''s strength had already reached the seventh level Imperial grade, matching Walker Kimi! S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Wow!"


    The sudden display of Steel Mark''s power immediately caused an uproar, stirring unrest among many. A seventh level spirit Imperial master had the qualification to hold sway in Blood Stone Pass. The skies over Blood Stone Pass were changing!


    Steel Mark''s lips curled slightly, clearly pleased with everyone''s reaction. His gaze then turned icy cold, sending chills down Walker Sin''s spine as if he had fallen into an icy abyss.


    Steel Mark intended to kill him to establish his dominance!


    "Steel Mark, my father is also a seventh level spirit Imperial master. If you make a move, the Steel Family won''t have it easy either!" Walker Adam, who still had some feelings for Walker Sin, quickly stepped in front of him to block the attack.


    "Heh, just a useless drunkard. After dealing with a few of you, I''ll kill him easily too," Steel Mark chuckled. Then, with a flash of cold light in his eyes, he threw a powerful punch at the terrified Walker Adam.


    With a slight sigh, Blaze Regret extended his hand, his alabaster like fingers gently clasping Steel Mark''s wrist.


    "My friend, you''ve gone too far."


    Steel Mark was slightly taken aback when Blaze Regret grabbed his wrist. He shook his arm vigorously, but Blaze Regret stood there calmly, holding Steel Mark''s hand without budging an inch.


    "What incredible strength!"


    The onlookers were secretly amazed. Steel Mark was a seventh level spirit Imperial master, yet in front of this young man, he couldn''t even put up a struggle.


    "Let go," Steel Mark said coldly, steadying himself. What use was strength? In a fight, it''s not the spirit master who steps in personally. As long as he released his spirit beast, he could tear Blaze Regret to pieces instantly.


    "I can let go, but let''s put an end to today''s matter," Blaze Regret replied calmly. The cold wind lifted his black robe, and his sharply handsome face made many young girls'' hearts skip a beat.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s retreating figure, Walker Sin''s face flushed with regret. If he had known earlier, he would''ve been a bit more courteous from the start, avoiding such a tense situation.


    Fortunately, this young man had a good relationship with Blaze Regret. Otherwise, he would have been in real trouble today.


    "Should''ve stepped up sooner."


    Unlike Walker Sin, Walker Nani snorted, as if Blaze Regret''s intervention was only natural.


    "Shut up!" Walker Sin snapped at Walker Nani, his fierce look making her shiver and tense up like a steel wire, not daring to make any more noise.


    Turning back, Walker Sin was silently furious. If Walker Nani weren''t his granddaughter, he would''ve slapped her by now. At her age, she should have better judgment.


    "Why should I?" Steel Mark smirked mockingly.


    "He''s my friend," Blaze Regret said, glancing at Walker Adam.


    "Haha, what a stupid reason!"


    Steel Mark laughed so hard he doubled over, and the members of the Steel Family burst into laughter as well. This kid thought he was the young master of the Blood Seal Gate, daring to speak to Steel Mark like that.


    "May I ask which faction you belong to?" Steel Mark looked at Blaze Regret with a mocking smile.


    "An independent cultivator," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "An independent cultivator."


    Steel Mark repeated the words, scoffing, "So, you''re a stray nobody knows about. Your mother must have died early, never teaching you to mind your own business."


    As Steel Mark''s words echoed, the Steel Family members laughed in agreement, while the surrounding crowd looked at each other in silence, not daring to make a sound.


    Only Walker Adam, standing beside Blaze Regret, trembled slightly. He could feel a chilling killing intent emanating from Blaze Regret, growing stronger by the moment.


    Blaze Regret''s lowered eyes were bloodshot, and his previously gentle face twisted slightly. In his heart, his long deceased mother was a taboo subject. Whenever someone mentioned it, the once mild mannered youth would immediately show his fangs.


    In Velorian City, even Snow Amar dared not provoke Blaze Regret with this subject, because when they were younger, a careless remark almost got him beaten to death by Blaze Regret, leaving him bedridden for months.


    "Oh, are you angry? So, you really are a motherless stray?" Steel Mark raised an eyebrow, a smug smile on his face, as if hurting Blaze Regret was something to be proud of.


    "You''re courting death!"


    The cold voice came out word by word as Blaze Regret suddenly raised his face, the fierce killing intent on it making Steel Mark shiver involuntarily.


    "I am courting death, so what can you do about it?" Steel Mark steadied himself, dismissively stating that strength isn''t gained by mere threats.


    "Brother Steel, teach this kid a lesson, show him the reality!" The Steel Family members behind him laughed and jeered, confident that Steel Mark, a seventh level spirit Imperial master, was the future head of the Steel Family.


    "Then go die!"


    Blaze Regret''s slender fingers clenched into a fist, a silver white glow enveloping it. With a roar, he swung his fist, creating a sonic boom in its wake.


    The Rock Crumbling Palm, as the name suggests, strengthens the entire hand. This punch was as forceful as a steel hammer blow.


    "Courting death!"

 Chapter 284 - 284 Reverse Scale

    Sensing Blaze Regret''s furious attack, Steel Mark sneered, retracting his arm as vines burst from the bricks at his feet, quickly intertwining to form a wall of vines.


    The Vine Wall, a wood attribute defensive spiritual technique, is a mandatory skill for all wood element spirit masters.


    "Boom!"


    The silver white fist smashed into the vine wall, and with a crack, the sturdy vines shattered instantly, leaving Steel Mark''s face filled with shock.


    How could this kid break through his vine wall!


    With killing intent surging in his eyes, Blaze Regret''s punch continued unabated, slamming heavily into Steel Mark''s chest. A violent ripple spread out, and a black shadow flew back with a loud bang, like a cannonball, crashing into the crowd.


    The terrifying speed forced many to change their expressions and retreat in panic. Steel Mark''s body carved a long groove into the city wall, with the latter half of the groove tinged with blood.


    A sudden clearing formed in the crowded city wall, a strange sight that left many watching from afar momentarily stunned. Their expressions quickly turned to astonishment.


    Steel Mark, a seventh level spirit Imperial master, had been sent flying by a mere teenager?


    Lying on the city wall, Steel Mark stared blankly at the sky as black snowflakes drifted down, landing on his eyes. Even this irritation couldn''t make him blink, for he had already lost all signs of life.


    At that moment, silence enveloped the city wall. Countless eyes shifted in shock to Blaze Regret, who still held a punching stance. Was this guy a manifestation of a brute ape, capable of killing a seventh level spirit Imperial master with just one punch?


    "What terrifying strength!"


    A few young women watched, their eyes shining like twinkling stars. This visually striking scene would remain vividly in their memories for decades.


    With his chest rising and falling softly, Blaze Regret gradually retracted his fist. His emotionless gaze swept over the Steel Family members, and his cold voice carried across the city wall.


    "Does anyone object?"


    Hearing his words, all the Steel Family members quickly lowered their heads, fear filling their eyes, not daring to meet Blaze Regret''s gaze. If their strongest could not withstand a single punch from Blaze Regret, what chance did they have?


    As Blaze Regret stood there, calm and composed, Stun Zen''s eyes flickered with a hint of coldness. It seemed they had underestimated this young man all along.


    "Whoosh!"


    The snowflakes fell thickly from the sky, and the biting wind suddenly intensified.


    "The bat tide is coming!"


    Someone shouted in alarm, and everyone on the city wall tensed, their eyes scanning the distant horizon.


    The bat swarm had finally arrived!


    From the high wall, the distant mountains appeared as if covered with a thin layer of black ice. Snowflakes drifted down, and the lakes within the mountains glistened like mirrors. Suddenly, dense, dark figures swept across the sky above the mirrors, their numbers reflected in the lakes below, startling the fish into diving deep. Anyone witnessing this scene would surely feel a chill run down their spine.


    These were all large, black bats!


    Known as Frost Bats, they start at a mid level rank of the Warrior grade. Although they initially don''t seem very powerful, their long term habitation near the Black Abyss has caused them to be constantly eroded by the dark aura, leading to dramatic changes in both their size and strength.


    Most have advanced to the Imperial grade, and some are just a step away from the mighty Lord grade!


    Standing on the city wall, Blaze Regret watched the approaching black cloud, reminiscent of a locust swarm, and felt his mouth go dry. Even the Bloodthirsty Bees would be instantly annihilated by such a number of Frost Bats.


    With black wings flapping, the Frost Bats aimed at the numerous figures on the city wall, opening their mouths to shoot out black ice spikes. The tips of these spikes glistened sharply.


    In an instant, the dark ice spikes rained down like black showers, shooting towards the people on the high wall, accompanied by the sharp whistling sound of the wind.


    As the Frost Bats appeared, the powerful defenders of Bloodstone Pass immediately launched their attack. Colorful spiritual techniques burst forth, mercilessly landing among the bat swarm, creating a dazzling display.


    However, beneath that brilliance, blood mist continuously burst forth, claiming lives.


    "Roar!"


    At the edge of the towering wall, the Red Claws swung continuously, sending out sharp fire rings that traced elegant arcs through the air. They shattered countless ice spikes and sliced through the bodies of the Frost Bats in an instant.


    "Buzz!"


    After slaying a few Frost Bats, four palm sized fire spike rings flew back, hovering above the Red''s hand, slowly rotating. The black blood had already evaporated due to the intense heat.


    Blaze Regret cast an indifferent glance at the fire spike rings, but his gaze quickly returned, tinged with surprise. Embedded between the sharp spikes of one fire ring was a black bead, emitting a faint, tangible chill.


    As Blaze Regret pondered this, the ice lotus within his second spiritual gate trembled slightly. A strong suction suddenly erupted, swiftly drawing the black ice bead towards it.


    "Whoosh!"


    The ice bead melded into the petals of the ice lotus, with impurities being expelled. Clear veins appeared on the petals, faintly glowing.


    "This ice bead can actually affect ice type spirit beasts?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up as he scanned the area. He noticed some ice element spirit master collecting fallen ice beads, with some even spending gold coins to buy them.


    "If this continues, as long as there are enough beads, the Ice Control Irenix can awaken soon."


    With this thought, Blaze Regret''s eyes burned with anticipation. Once the Ice Control Irenix emerged from the lotus, even Silver Lucas, the master of the Blood Seal Gate, would have to treat him with caution. After all, the ice lotus was formed from the lifelong spiritual power of the Ice Lotus Sage!

 Chapter 285 - 285 Beast Lord

    "Walker Adam, take this gold coin card and buy up all the ice beads on this section of the wall, even if the price is a bit high." Blaze Regret handed a gold coin card to Walker Adam.


    Walker Adam nodded repeatedly with excitement, perhaps even more so than Blaze Regret. He had a vague idea of Blaze Regret''s intentions.


    After Blaze Regret''s recent display of power, many spirit master, after glancing at him in surprise, quickly sold their black ice beads. Some even handed the beads directly to Walker Adam without requesting coins, their eyes showing a hint of flattery towards Blaze Regret.


    In their minds, Blaze Regret would undoubtedly hold a significant position in the future of Bloodstone Pass. Therefore, the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him was something they eagerly sought.


    "What''s a fire element spirit master doing with these ice beads?"


    Some people, even though they were puzzled, handed over the ice beads to Walker Adam without hesitation. Only Stun Zen and others on the adjacent section of the wall gave Blaze Regret a few curious glances. Unable to find any answers, they had no choice but to let it go.


    They were unaware that Blaze Regret possessed an ice element spirit beast.


    "Father, this kid is bound to be a troublemaker in the future. We must deal with him early," Stun Qistin said through gritted teeth, glaring at Blaze Regret with a grim expression.


    "Let it go; he won''t survive today," Stun Zen replied with a cold smile, then turned back to continue slaying the Frost Bats.


    A short while later, Walker Adam returned with a cloth bundle filled with a mound of ice beads. Blaze Regret discreetly flicked his robe, causing the black ice beads to vanish from the bundle.


    The smooth beads quickly dissolved into the ice lotus. To Blaze Regret''s delight, one of the lotus petals began to unfurl slowly. Although it didn''t fully bloom, the sight was already immensely satisfying to him.


    At this point, casualties began to appear on the high wall. A level five high ranking Frost Bat broke through the layers of defenses and swiftly attacked, using its ice covered sharp claws to drag a screaming female spirit master off the wall.


    In the next moment, several Frost Bats let out piercing screams and swarmed her. Each passing bat tore off a piece of flesh, and within moments, the young female spirit master was reduced to a skeleton, plummeting to the ground.


    Watching this scene, everyone on the high wall felt a sinking feeling, and Blaze Regret''s expression also grew more solemn. It seemed that this bat swarm was not as manageable as he had initially thought.


    Shortly after the female spirit master''s demise, several more bursts of blood mist erupted on the high wall, causing a stir.


    "The Frost Bats at the back seem to be getting stronger."


    Absorbing the ice beads handed over by Walker Adam into the ice lotus, Blaze Regret murmured softly. Among the overwhelming swarm of bats, a few level eight tier high ranking Frost Bats had already mixed in. It took the joint efforts of Stun Zen and a few elders from the Blood Seal Gate to deal with them.


    However, this also resulted in considerable casualties.


    As everyone wiped the blood from their faces and barely had a moment to catch their breath, an extremely chilling wave suddenly howled from the mountains. Even the moisture in the air condensed into tiny ice crystals.


    "It''s the Frost Bat King!"


    After a brief silence, a terrified uproar erupted on the high wall, and everyone''s hearts sank bit by bit.


    The real trouble was about to begin.


    A few cool snowflakes brushed past his brow as Blaze Regret gazed heavily into the distance. A massive figure, about ten meter in size, traversed the space toward him. The intense sound of its flapping wings was clearly audible even from afar.


    The Frostwing Bat King, a true lord level spirit beast, is born only once in every thousand Frostwing Bats. Its power is terrifyingly strong. According to the historical records of Bloodstone Pass, a powerful Spirit Lord master once perished in the belly of the Frostwing Bat King.


    "Everyone, attack!"


    Stun Zen''s eyes narrowed as he shouted fiercely. Instantly, a barrage of powerful attacks rained down like a storm. However, the Frostwing Bat King, with its astonishing aura, swiftly moved, its sharp claws slashing a blinding cold light, tearing a massive gap in the side of the city wall.


    A chilling cry echoed as several figures fell, and the Frostwing Bat King turned, its hideous mouth opening wide to swallow all those who fell from the high wall.


    Flying back into the swarm of bats, the Frostwing Bat King happily chewed. Bright red blood dripped from the corners of its mouth, and the sound of bones cracking echoed in everyone''s ears.


    Hearing this sound, the survivors couldn''t help but shiver, goosebumps uncontrollably rising on their skin.


    Next, everyone''s tense gaze focused on the members of the Blood Seal Gate. The Frostwing Bat King was overwhelmingly powerful, and since the master of the Blood Seal Gate had yet to appear, only the elders of the Blood Seal Gate had the strength to contend with it.


    "Hmph, vile creature, everyone, attack with me!"


    The voice of anger belonged to Silver Lin, the Grand Elder of the Blood Seal Gate, a ninth level Spirit Imperial Master, just a step away from becoming a powerful Spirit Lord Master. Behind him stood several elders, each with the strength of an eighth level Spirit Imperial Master, forming an impressive lineup.


    As Silver Lin spoke, all the elders of the Blood Seal Gate wore solemn expressions. Blood red formations were quickly drawn in the air before the city wall, releasing an extremely intense bloody aura.


    "They''re all blood type spirit beasts," Blaze Regret was slightly surprised.


    Blood attribute spirit beasts are rare, and yet all the elders of the Blood Seal Gate possessed them. Judging by the formations, it seemed that the spirit beasts within the spirit portal were all the same.

 Chapter 286 - 286 Bone Armor Rhino

    The blood red formation rotated slowly, and in the next moment, long vines whistled out from within, twisting all nearby Frostwing Bats into a mist of blood. At the end of these vines was a large flower disk, appearing to have a horrifying mouth filled with sharp teeth.


    Ghost Vine Flower, a blood type spirit beast, initially ranked as a low tier Imperial grade beast, is known for ambushing prey from crevices in cliffs.


    Currently, apart from Silver Lin''s high grade Imperial grade Ghost Vine Flower, the others had all reached mid Tier Imperial Grade.


    Several Ghost Vine Flowers hovered quietly in mid air, their massive flower disks surrounded by blood red vines, each over ten meter long, with sharp spikes neatly aligned along them.


    "Hiss!"


    The Frostwing Bat King, eyeing the Ghost Vine Flowers, flashed a cold gleam in its eyes. Its long tail exuded a chilling black coldness, making the air around it seem to condense into countless hard ice particles.


    "Swish!"


    After a moment of stillness, the Frostwing Bat King suddenly shook its wings and shot forward rapidly, its ice cold tail whipping toward one of the eighth level Ghost Vine Flowers with lightning speed.


    Mid level lord tier spirit technique, Ice Shatter Tail!


    "Blood Vine Shield!" Silver Lin shouted urgently.


    As the Frostwing Bat King roared forward, the Ghost Vine Flowers quickly converged at the target location. Their long blood red vines rapidly interwove in the air, entwining to form what seemed like a massive vine shield.


    In front of the vine shield, due to the dense blood aura, a smooth blood arc appeared.


    "Bang!"


    The tail, carrying black ice particles, struck the Blood Vine Shield solidly. With a crisp crack, fractures swiftly spread across the shield''s surface until the entire shield shattered with a resounding crash.


    As fragments of the vine shield scattered through the air, a heavy sense of despair settled in everyone''s hearts. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A single strike from a lord level spirit beast was truly terrifying!


    "It''s over. Even the elders of the Blood Seal Gate are about to fall. I''m afraid Bloodstone Pass will not hold," someone lamented sorrowfully.


    Even though the bat swarm entering Bloodstone Pass wouldn''t completely annihilate all life, the damage it would cause would be devastating. This is one of the main reasons why many forces, despite coveting this place, are unwilling to station here long term.


    After tearing through the Blood Vine Shield, a vicious gleam flashed in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes. It swiftly moved, its icy claws gripping a Ghost Vine Flower and ripping it apart with brutal force.


    Amidst piercing screams, the Ghost Vine Flower''s body split in two, raining blood down below.


    Seeing his spirit beast die, one of the elders of the Blood Seal Gate was filled with grief.


    "Master Stun, if you don''t act now, there won''t be another chance!" Silver Lin turned his head and shouted softly.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. Stun Zen''s spirit beast was finally about to make its appearance.


    "Bloodstone Pass is in trouble, and I, Stun, will not stand by idly."


    Nodding with a smile, Stun Zen flicked his sleeve, and a sixth level spirit beast by his side returned instantly to the spirit portal. A new spirit portal swiftly emerged in front, its surface shrouded in wisps of black energy.


    "Dark attribute," Blaze Regret thought to himself, slightly tensing. Spirit beasts of this attribute are extremely mysterious and unpredictable.


    "Boom!"


    Before the spirit portal could fully form, a white figure burst out like a sudden thunderclap, accompanied by the sound of a sonic boom. Its large white hand grasped the body of the Frostwing Bat King and slammed it to the ground.


    Under the immense force, the Frostwing Bat King had no time to struggle and was pinned harshly to the ground by the white figure.


    "Attack!"


    Seeing the deep crater below and the rising dust, Silver Lin''s face lit up with joy. The most troublesome aspect of the Frostwing Bat King was its ghostly speed. If it could be restrained, it was sure to suffer significant damage.


    "Whoosh!"


    In mid air, sharp sounds pierced the wind as blood red vines, like long spears, shot down rapidly, stirring up more dust and debris from the already blurred ground.


    For a moment, as the blood red vines frantically stabbed downward, blinding flashes of blood red light continuously flickered in the sky.


    "Boom!"


    From within the dust cloud, a white figure quickly retreated, shaking off the dust on its body to reveal its true form to everyone.


    Those seeing this spirit beast for the first time couldn''t hide their shock.


    The spirit beast resembled a standing rhinoceros, but its body bore no flesh or blood, only gleaming white bones covering its entire frame, as if its life consisted solely of crystalline bones.


    This was a ninth level high level Imperial grade spirit beast, the Bone Armor Rhino!


    Sharp vines, carrying a pungent scent of blood, slowly contracted. Several ghostly vine flowers quietly floated in front of the city wall, their large blood colored petals almost obscuring half the sky, while faint blood particles permeated the air.


    Below the city wall, billowing dust spread around as the form of the Frostwing bat king appeared in the eyes of many onlookers. Suddenly, a chorus of startled whispers erupted.


    Black wings shielded the Frostwing bat king''s body, but those broad wings, covered with black ice, were now filled with countless bloody holes. The largest, about the size of a bowl, matched perfectly with the horn of the Bone Armor Rhino.


    It was evident that this was the work of the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Blaze Regret''s dark eyes flickered slightly, and he felt a bit shocked. The strength of the Bone Armor Rhino was surprisingly formidable. Only the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous that wielded the Dragon Seal could possibly contend with it.


    Flapping its damaged wings, the Frostwing bat king slightly moved, trying to struggle to take flight again.

 Chapter 287 - 287 Got Trick

    Just as it was about to rise, the Bone Armor Rhino charged at it again, its jade like brilliant fist shook the air and slammed hard onto its back.


    "Boom!"


    A dust shockwave swept outward, and the surrounding Frostwing Bats that attempted to ambush were instantly blasted away by this powerful shock, with some even killed on the spot.


    "So strong." Blaze Regret''s chest heaved slightly, and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous in the third spiritual portal seemed to be somewhat agitated, seemingly wanting to step out immediately and challenge the Bone Armor Rhino.


    However, Blaze Regret didn''t even consider it and slowly shook his head.


    From a racial standpoint, both the Bone Armor Rhino and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous are extremely powerful beings. At the same level, it would be difficult to determine a winner. Moreover, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous was currently two levels lower than the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Of course, using the Dragon Seal could lead to victory, but the damage would also be severe. Unless absolutely necessary, it''s better not to act recklessly.


    Seeing the Bone Armor Rhino suppressing the Frostwing bat king again, a rain of blood immediately shot down from the sky, pouring over the latter.


    These were sharp spikes, all detached from the vines of the ghostly vine flowers. A single one could easily kill a sixth tier spirit beast, and with so many, even the Frostwing bat king would have to pay a significant price.


    Finally, the Frostwing bat king was thoroughly enraged. It spread its wings, and the charging Bone Armor Rhino was instantly knocked away. Before its open bloody maw, a small hexagram magic array appeared out of thin air, shimmering with black ice light.


    As the array slowly rotated, a spear of ice, about a meter long, swiftly shot out, piercing through the body of one of the ghostly vine flowers like lightning, and then exploded.


    The struck ghostly vine flower disintegrated piece by piece as the icy energy spread, disappearing into the sky in an instant.


    Covered in blood spikes, the Frostwing bat king shakily flew towards the sky, its hateful gaze fixed on the few surviving ghostly vine flowers. With a flap of its wings, it swept across with a bone chilling wind.


    However, it was clear to anyone observing that the Frostwing bat king had suffered severe injuries. It was merely trying to take down a few opponents before its own downfall.


    With narrowed eyes, Blaze Regret watched the battle between the Frostwing bat king and the ghostly vine flowers, lightly pressing his lips together.


    The lord level spirit beast was indeed formidable. Even though the Frostwing bat king was one of the weakest in terms of defense, it could still muster a counterattack after several lethal hits. If it were an ordinary ninth tier lord level spirit beast, it likely wouldn''t be able to stand again after taking such a solid punch from the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Stun Zen stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed. The death of the Frostwing bat king was only a matter of time.


    But then, his expression suddenly changed slightly, and with a somewhat grave look, he gazed into the distance, where another powerful aura was rapidly approaching!


    Feeling that aura, the sense of relief that had just settled in the hearts of everyone was quickly replaced with a stiffened expression, as an undeniable fear rose sharply on their faces.


    A second Frostwing bat king!


    "How can there be two?" Blaze Regret asked in shock. Isn''t it said that two tigers can''t live on one mountain? There was already one Frostwing bat king here, so how could there be another?


    "The mountains around the Dark Abyss don''t really connect with each other, so the Frostwing bat kings living there generally coexist peacefully. In fact, it''s not the first time two Frostwing bat kings have appeared simultaneously. A few years ago, during such an occurrence, one of our spirit Lord masters from Bloodstone Pass was swallowed alive," Walker Adam explained.


    Dark clouds loomed over everyone''s heads. One Frostwing bat king was enough trouble; a second one might mean their doom!


    "This is not looking good," Stun Zen murmured quietly. His eyes scanned the area, landing on Blaze Regret, and moments later, a sinister and cold smile slowly crept onto his lips.


    "Everyone, dealing with one Frostwing bat king requires me and the elders of the Blood Seal gate to join forces, and we still haven''t completely killed it. With another one coming, Bloodstone Pass might not survive today."


    Stun Zen''s words added another layer of despair to the already fearful crowd. If even Stun Zen, a ninth tier spirit Imperial master, was intimidated, what hope did they have for survival?


    "So, someone should step up to help me and the elders of the Blood Seal Gate share the burden," Stun Zen said again, causing quite an uproar.


    "Right, as long as we can hold on for a moment, once that severely injured Frostwing bat king dies, we can repeat the scene from earlier."


    "But who has the strength to delay a lord level spirit beast? Such a daunting task can only be barely managed by a ninth tier spirit Imperial master, and we don''t have a third one at Bloodstone Pass."


    Hearing the commotion around him, Stun Haze''s lips curled into a sinister smile. This was exactly the effect he wanted.


    "Who says there isn''t a third ninth tier spirit Imperial master? That young friend over there just shattered Black Lin''s defense with a single punch. Judging by that, he''s at least on par with our Stun Family head," Stun Haze said nonchalantly, pointing at Blaze Regret, while secretly feeling a surge of joy inside.


    Kid, you''re still too naive. Watch how I play you to death.


    As those words reached Blaze Regret''s ears, a chill ran through his heart. The Stun Family members were out to ruin him. With his current strength, facing a lord level Frostwing Bat meant there was no chance of survival!

 Chapter 288 - 288 Taking Action

    "Indeed, young friend, for the sake of Bloodstone Pass''s survival, please lend us your aid," Stun Zen said, cupping his hands with a sorrowful expression. But beneath that sorrow was a hidden sense of scheme.


    With Stun Zen and Stun Haze working in tandem, all eyes turned to Blaze Regret, and voices urging him to take action kept rising.


    The scene suggested that if Blaze Regret didn''t step up, the crowd might turn against him.


    Furthermore, as Stun Haze and Stun Zen continued to stir the pot, the clamor grew into a wave, reaching the skies. If Blaze Regret did nothing, his reputation in Bloodstone Pass would be utterly ruined.


    "Serves you right for showing off, now you''re getting your revenge," Stun Qistin laughed wildly, her brows slightly raised, standing behind Stun Zen.


    As Blaze Regret frowned slightly, Stun Zen and Stun Haze felt secretly pleased, their lips curling with a subtle sneer. No matter whether Blaze Regret took action or not, the outcome would be gratifying. If Blaze Regret backed down, he would be labeled as someone who stands by and watches others die. However, if he forcibly stepped forward, the lord level Frostwing Bat King could easily crush his bones.


    After all, dealing with the previous Frostwing Bat King required two ninth tier high level Imperial grade spirit beasts, and several eighth tier Imperial grade spirit beasts also perished. This was enough to demonstrate the terror of the Frostwing Bat King.


    "Unexpectedly, he turns out to be a coward. What a pity. If Black Lin were alive, he would have bravely stepped forward," Stun Haze glanced at Blaze Regret and sighed.


    These words undoubtedly pushed Blaze Regret further to the edge, causing unusual glimmers in the eyes of many people. After all, it was Blaze Regret who had killed Black Lini with a single punch!


    It seemed to imply that if the Bloodstone Pass fell, it wasn''t because no one stepped up, but because the person who did was killed by Blaze Regret. The culprit was hiding in the crowd, fearing for his life.


    "Brother Blaze, don''t fall for their provocation," Walker Adam said, his face filled with urgency when he saw the determination in Blaze Regret''s eyes. Walker Adam''s Heavenly Eye could see that the spirit beast in Blaze Regret''s second spiritual portal needed only to absorb a little more of the black ice beads to complete its transformation. By then, not just one Frostwing Bat King, but several would be futile.


    "Alas, it''s a pity that my strength is lacking. Otherwise, I would definitely fight to the death with the Frostwing Bat King!" Stun Haze declared decisively, clenching his fists, drawing admiration from many.


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as Stun Haze''s words fell, a black figure suddenly dashed out, with flaming feet leaving a dark imprint on the city wall. That person was Blaze Regret!


    "Haha, couldn''t hold back, could he? So young," Stun Haze grinned, his face wrinkled like a blooming chrysanthemum.


    "The Frostwing Bat King, tear him apart!" Stun Qistin''s eyes gleamed with excitement, and Stun Zen beside him was equally pleased. This method of using someone else''s strength to kill was undoubtedly more fulfilling than acting on one''s own.

    "Bang!"


    As he fell from the city wall, Blaze Regret supported himself with both hands on the ground, his dark robe billowing in the wind. A violent wave of dust rushed outwards from him, sweeping rapidly in all directions.


    Without wasting a moment, Blaze Regret stood up and charged towards the Frostwing Bat King. He patted the little Red creature on the head, which let out a cry and transformed into the size of a Three tail sun blaze cat. With its sharp fire claws, it instantly split several incoming Frostwing Bats in half.


    In his eyes, the figure of the Frostwing Bat King gradually enlarged, and although Blaze Regret''s gaze was slightly serious, he wasn''t panicked. Just moments ago, he had received important information from Walker Adam.


    The Frostwing Bat King that was flying towards him had a huge bloody hole in its abdomen. In short, it was injured, and severely so!


    Even though Walker Adam was still somewhat concerned, Blaze Regret decided to take the risk. The Ice Lotus, where the Ice Control Irenix resided, had already bloomed four petals, leaving only two more. Once the last two petals opened, the Ice Control Irenix would break free, and the energy contained in the ice beads within the Frostwing Bat King should be a thousand times richer than that of an ordinary Frostwing Bat.


    "Whoosh!"


    The light yellow flames gathered in his eyes as the red creature fiercely fixed its gaze on the descending Frostwing Bat King. Two beams of flame, formed from the condensed sun blaze fire, suddenly shot out from his eyes, causing the Frostwing Bats in their path to explode upon impact.


    The light yellow beams sliced through the air, and as the Frostwing Bat King opened its mouth, a long spear enveloped in bone chilling cold surged forth like a blue streak of light, directly colliding with the incoming flames.


    The ice spear and the light beams met with almost no resistance, passing straight through each other. While the swirling cold dissipated somewhat, the sharp wave of energy remained undiminished.


    "Indeed, even injured, it''s still a lord level spirit beast," Blaze Regret remarked, glancing at the wound on the Frostwing Bat King''s abdomen with a sigh. Just then, a silver armored Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous rushed out in front of him, its tightly clenched fist smashing the ice spear with a powerful punch.


    A fierce ripple of cold ice spread out, and the ground it touched instantly cracked open like it had been sliced by a knife, creating a deep fissure. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous staggered backward, retreating several dozen feet before it finally stomped its foot firmly on the ground to steady itself.


    As the Frostwing Bat King swooped down, Blaze Regret glanced at its gaping wound and felt a slight sense of relief. Given this injury, even a Bone Armor Rhino would likely be tougher than the current Frostwing Bat King.

 Chapter 289 - 289 Trap

    "Whoosh!"


    The red flame creature trembled, and three streaks of fiery red light spiraled around its body. In an instant, its aura surged dramatically, and it leaped up, clawing at the Frostwing Bat King''s wound.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, having regained its breath, approached with earth shaking steps. As it swung its fist, the space in front of it cracked with numerous fissures.


    "Overestimating yourself," Stun Zen grinned, while the crowd on the high wall was in an uproar. Blaze Regret was actually a dual source spirit master? No dual source spirit master had ever emerged from Bloodstone Pass!


    "Whether he''s a dual source spirit master or even a tri source spirit master, in the end, he won''t escape death," Stun Haze stroked his gray beard and chuckled.


    "What a lucky guy! If I were a dual source spirit master, I''d definitely outshine him by a long shot," Silver Van and Silver Ray said, their faces filled with jealousy.


    After Blaze Regret revealed his identity as a dual source spirit master, the thoughts of those on the high wall varied greatly. If they only knew that Blaze Regret also possessed a third attribute, they couldn''t imagine the expressions on their faces.


    "Bang!"


    The three spirit beasts collided together, and the ground below was filled with blinding cracks that spread out with a loud cracking sound. At the end of those fissures, Blaze Regret quickly retreated.


    Although his right palm''s power was already terrifying, there was still a significant gap compared to the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. This level of battle was far beyond what he could participate in.


    After a brief encounter, the three spirit beasts were sent reeling backward. Both the red flame creature and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous bore several bloody marks, while the Frostwing Bat King fared worse; its already horrific wound had widened further, blood pouring out.


    Of course, they were far from the high wall, so aside from Walker Adam, no one else could see that the Frostwing Bat King was indeed heavily injured.


    "You beast, you''ve picked the wrong opponent to compare consumption with a alchemist."


    Taking advantage of the moment when they both retreated, Blaze Regret flicked his fingers, sending healing pills flying into the mouths of the red flame creature and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous without hesitation, causing their wounds to heal rapidly.


    "Alas, from what I know, this kid has another spirit beast, just a hair''s breadth away from lord level. Is he hesitant to use it?"


    On the high wall, Stun Haze watched below and fanned the flames, his smile towards Blaze Regret carrying a hint of provocation.


    Not only did you have to engage in battle yourself, but you also had to bear the brunt of my actions ruining your reputation. Most importantly, you can''t touch me, this feeling is truly delightful.


    Looking up at Stun Haze, who was high above, Blaze Regret revealed a grin, his face bright with a spring like warmth, though there was a sharpness underlying that smile.


    "Old fool, since you''re eager for death, I guess I''ll have to find you a nice plot for your grave right here."


    Beneath the high wall, three spirit beasts of varying sizes collided violently, unleashing a wild gust of wind that ravaged the area. The surrounding Frostwing Bats hurriedly fled, knowing that even the smallest wave from the clash could mean death or injury for them.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous landed solidly on the abdomen of the Frostwing Bat King, sending it flying back with a miserable cry. At the same time, two sharp ice spears sliced through the air in an eerie arc, crossing and stabbing out, each piercing through the arms of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous and pinning it to the ground. Hot blood flowed along the ice spears.


    "Sigh, if only we had released the strongest spirit beast earlier, it wouldn''t have been this brutal," Stun Haze sighed and shook his head, his voice seemingly filled with pity for the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. However, in his heart, he was secretly rejoicing.


    "Rip!"


    The sound of flesh tearing echoed as the Frostwing Bat King, surrounded by Ghost Vine Flowers, finally succumbed to the relentless assault. It was torn apart from the middle by the blood vines of Silver Lin''s Ghost Vine Flower, spilling blood everywhere.


    Although they succeeded in slaying the Frostwing Bat King, the condition of the Ghost Vine Flowers was no better. Two of them had their blood vines completely severed around the flower disc, leaving them weak and wilted.


    Silver Lin''s Ghost Vine Flower was also severely injured, with a hideous crack almost running through its entire flower disc.


    "Damn it," Silver Lin gritted his teeth. To eliminate this Frostwing Bat King, the Blood Seal Gate had paid a heavy price, even to the point of describing it as a major loss of vitality.


    Before the Frostwing Bat King''s body hit the ground, the remaining Ghost Vine Flowers tore it into several pieces in anger, scattering flesh and blood in a horrifying display.


    "Buzz!"


    As the Frostwing Bat King''s body split apart, a crystalline ice orb suddenly emerged from its abdomen, exuding a dense chill.


    With a cold snort, Silver Lin opened his palm, and with a gust of wind, the ice orb transformed into a stream of light, quickly landing in his palm.


    "Ice Jade Orb?" Stun Haze''s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of longing.


    This orb, although similar in appearance to those black orbs, contains energy thousands of times greater. A single one can fetch an astronomical price of tens of thousands of gold coins.


    However, Stun Haze quickly suppressed his greed. Despite the Ice Jade Orb''s value, it wasn''t worth turning against the Blood Seal Gate, especially with the unfathomable He Teng backing them.


    It would be foolish to risk offending a Spirit Lord Master for mere tens of thousands of gold coins.


    After dealing with the Frostwing Bat King here, the elders of the Blood Seal Gate showed no intention of helping Blaze Regret. They simply stood silently on the high wall, their gazes fixed in the distance, awaiting the outcome.

 Chapter 290 - 290 Pay Back

    Hovering in mid air, the Frostwing Bat King''s expression was pained as a thick layer of ice quickly covered its wounds. Even a lord level being was shaken by the fierce punch of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, causing its vital energy to surge.


    Furthermore, the lord level Frostwing Bat King couldn''t even utilize half of its strength due to the massive wound on its abdomen.


    Staring at the immobilized Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, a cruel look emerged in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes. Opening its mouth, it quickly formed another sharp ice spear.


    "Whoo!"


    With a long roar towards the sky, the Red Claw slightly lifted, and as the blazing spiritual power gathered, small pale yellow suns descended overwhelmingly. Upon nearing the Frostwing Bat King, they exploded with bangs, the terrifying energy causing the king''s body to crash down like a meteor, leaving a sizable crater on the ground.


    With a slight flicker, Blaze Regret glanced at the Frostwing Bat King''s fierce eyes, revealing a strange smile. His silver white hand clenched and smashed down hard on the king''s head.


    "Hiss!"


    With a thud, the Frostwing Bat King''s head hit the ground. Anger filled its eyes, feeling deeply insulted that a mere Spirit Imperial Master dared to join the battle personally.


    Thus, it flapped its wings fiercely, cutting through the air with a sharp gust as it suddenly darted away.


    With a slight smirk, Blaze Regret turned his body, and pale yellow flames erupted beneath his feet as he sprinted toward the high wall with incredible speed.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s face suddenly lift with a sinister smile, Stun Haze''s heart skipped a beat. This kid plans to use the Frostwing Bat King to take him out!


    "Swish!"


    Blaze Regret''s foot tapped the wall, and his body briefly paused before shooting up the wall like an arrow. His terrifying speed immediately caused a stir among the onlookers.


    "Not good!"


    As Blaze Regret''s smiling face came into view up close, Stun Haze''s lips turned pale. The fear in his heart intensified, especially with the Frostwing Bat King rapidly approaching from behind.


    When the Frostwing Bat King swooped in, everyone on the high wall had already scattered in panic, except for some of the Stun Family members caught in the middle and unable to move quickly.


    "Master Stun, a pleasure to meet you," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile. He then spun in mid air, landing on one knee beside Stun Haze, while the enraged Frostwing Bat King followed closely, its massive shadow engulfing the entire wall.


    "Great Elder, should we¡­?"


    Hearing the elder''s voice beside him, Silver Lin waved his hand slightly. His cloudy eyes glanced at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous below the wall, a mocking expression flashing across his face.


    Taking this chance to eliminate Stun Haze might not be such a bad idea.


    "You little brat, I won''t forgive you!" Stun Haze''s furious voice rang out as he quickly darted down from the wall, with other Stun Family members following closely.


    The Frostwing Bat King''s approach was incredibly fast, and in just a few breaths, Blaze Regret had no time to withdraw the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous into the spiritual portal and then quickly release it. Otherwise, the severely injured Frostwing Bat King might very well be blasted apart with a single punch.


    "You just wait!" Stun Haze spat out a threat as he turned to leap off the high wall.


    "It''s not a good habit to keep people waiting." sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, just as Stun Haze''s body was about to leap, Blaze Regret grabbed him and pulled him back. With a powerful punch, he struck down in front of Stun Haze''s terrified eyes.


    "You¡­"


    Stun Haze barely uttered a word before Blaze Regret''s fist shattered the hastily constructed ice mirror in front of him. Blaze Regret smirked coldly and turned his body, allowing the Frostwing Bat King''s sharp claw to swipe past him.


    "Clang!"


    A massive gap was instantly torn into the high wall. Stun Haze''s robe caught on the tip of the Frostwing Bat King''s claw, dragging him out swiftly. He dangled in the air, staring blankly at the hundred foot drop below.


    Fear gripped him so tightly that he momentarily forgot to summon the Ice Spike Fish.


    "Hiss!"


    With a flash of cold light in its eyes, the Frostwing Bat King lowered its head. Its foul smelling claw engulfed Stun Haze''s face, silencing his terrified screams abruptly.


    As the life left Stun Haze''s body, the people of Bloodstone Pass stood in shock.


    "Master Stun, that Frostwing Bat King was truly formidable. We owe Elder Stun our gratitude for his sacrifice. Otherwise, even if Blaze Regret had risked his life to fight it, Bloodstone Pass might not have remained intact."


    Standing up, Blaze Regret looked down at Stun Zen, whose forehead veins throbbed, his voice filled with sincere gratitude.


    Blaze Regret clasped his hands in gratitude, his voice echoing on the high walls. His demeanor appeared deeply thankful, almost to the point of tears.


    "You little brat, I''ll tear you to pieces!"


    Looking up, Stun Zen''s anger boiled like magma within a volcano, ready to erupt. He wished he could rush up the high wall and burn Blaze Regret alive.


    However, the harsh words stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken, causing Stun Zen''s face to flush with anger.


    "This kid is ruthless," Silver Lin sneered coldly.


    Blaze Regret first used the Frostwing Bat King''s power to kill Stun Haze. Although he acted stealthily, Silver Lin, a ninth level spirit Imperial master, clearly caught the lightning fast punch. If Blaze Regret hadn''t destroyed the ice mirror first, Stun Haze would have had ample opportunity to escape from the Frostwing Bat King.


    Then, before Stun Zen could get angry, Blaze Regret immediately expressed his gratitude, even mentioning his own contributions to Bloodstone Pass. In such circumstances, even Stun Zen couldn''t openly attack a hero in front of many powerful figures.


    "Young friend, you speak too highly," Stun Zen suppressed his overwhelming murderous intent, speaking deliberately, his cold gaze fixed on Blaze Regret as if trying to pierce him.

 Chapter 291 - 291 Pay Back

    "Master Stun is indeed wise and just, but it''s a pity for Elder Stun Haze, sigh!"


    "We should thank the young friend; if it weren''t for him buying time, the walls of Bloodstone Pass would have been destroyed by the Frostwing Bat King long ago!"


    "A true hero among the youth."


    Hearing the praise around him, Stun Zen''s chest heaved rapidly, his facial muscles trembling with anger, his teeth grinding loudly.


    This feeling of having nowhere to vent his fury was enough to drive a person mad.


    "Master Stun, rest assured. I will definitely slay that Frostwing Bat King and give Elder Stun Haze the justice he deserves." Blaze Regret clenched his right hand into a fist, pressing it firmly against his chest. He then glanced at Stun Zen solemnly before leaping back down the wall.


    "So tragic..."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s faint voice, Stun Zen''s anger surged, nearly causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which he struggled to swallow back down.


    "I want you dead, I want you dead!" Stun Zen roared internally, his eyes slightly lowered.


    As the Frostwing Bat King slowly consumed Stun Haze''s body, it hovered in the sky, its wings vibrating. The spiritual power contained within the eighth level spirit Imperial master slightly healed its originally battered body.


    Of course, the large, gaping wound remained shockingly visible.


    With a slight effort, the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros slowly withdrew its right arm from the ice spear embedded in the ground. The intense pain was enough to drive an ordinary spiritual beast insane, yet it maintained a detached expression, as if the bleeding arm belonged to someone else.


    With its right arm extended, the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros exhaled lightly, then covered the ice spear piercing its left arm with its broad hand and swiftly pulled it out.


    A fine line of blood sprayed from the tip of the spear, forming a crimson arc.


    Its fierce demeanor left everyone on the high wall gaping in shock.


    This Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros was truly ruthless!


    With a slightly moved expression, Blaze Regret approached the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros from behind, discreetly placing the Healing Star Pendant on its body. He also took out a regular healing pill and fed it to the creature.


    The healing power of the Healing Star Pendant was incredibly potent, so he needed to take measures to conceal it and avoid drawing attention from prying eyes.


    With its eyes slightly closed, the blood holes on the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s arms gradually closed, and in an instant, the wounds vanished without a trace. The light emitted by the Healing Star Pendant also dimmed slightly.


    With a slow step forward, the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros shrugged its shoulders, brimming with fighting spirit as it moved toward the Frostwing Bat King. The latter''s current strength was not much greater than that of the Bone Armored Rhino. As long as the opportunity was seized, it could be killed with a single blow.


    Seeing the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros return to the battlefield so quickly, many on the high wall were in disbelief. Could it be that Blaze Regret had given it a fourth grade pill? Otherwise, how could there be such a terrifying healing effect?


    "Red, use Cat Charm to quickly deal with the Frostwing Bat King," Blaze Regret said gravely. After several rounds of attacks, the Frostwing Bat King was on the brink of collapse. The end of this battle needed just a single opportunity.


    Nodding its small head, Red once again unleashed the Solar Flare. The small sun, whistling like a torrential downpour, shattered countless Frostwing Bats, and the back of the Frostwing Bat King burst open with terrifying energy, tearing its flesh.


    Roaring down in anger, the Frostwing Bat King looked at the two clusters of flames in Red''s eyes. An indescribable fierceness rose on its face, and it charged heavily toward the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Boom!"


    Sand waves swept across as the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s clenched fist precisely struck the Frostwing Bat King''s chest. A roaring rhino''s phantom appeared at its fist''s edge.


    At that moment, the fierceness in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes vanished, replaced by intense panic. It had clearly seen the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros lying weakly on the ground, seemingly ready to shatter with a light hit.


    However, that scene lasted only a moment. The Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist was already at its vulnerable spot, right where the blood wound was!


    Shaking its small head, Red felt a bit dizzy. Confusing a lord level spiritual beast was immensely challenging. Fortunately, the Frostwing Bat King was already severely injured; otherwise, even if Red exhausted all its spiritual power, it wouldn''t be able to make the Cat Charm effective.


    "Boom!"


    A silver white beam of light pierced through the Frostwing Bat King''s chest. The violent energy seemed to form a majestic rhino behind it, roaring to the sky.


    The immense power of the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s punch had completely pierced through the Frostwing Bat King''s entire body!


    A glint of cold light flashed in its eyes as the Rock horned Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its foot and fiercely kicked the Frostwing Bat King. The immense force sent the latter sliding several hundred feet away, creating a long trail of dust in its wake.


    The Frostwing Bat King''s wings fluttered against the ground, its body twitching slightly. It was clear it still had a breath left, but it was merely a struggle before death. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In less than a moment, it would die on its own.


    As the dust settled, a dazzling ice pearl emerged from the Frostwing Bat King''s exposed abdomen, emitting a pure, icy aura. The intensity of its emanations was even more pronounced than that of an Ice Jade Pearl!


    "Ice Marrow Pearl?"


    Everyone on the high wall was momentarily stunned, then they collectively gasped in shock. The Frostwing Bat King contained an Ice Marrow Pearl, which was dozens of times more precious than an Ice Jade Pearl!

 Chapter 292 - 292 True Face

    This revelation stirred not only the ordinary spiritual masters but also the elders of the Blood Seal Gate, as the value of an Ice Marrow Pearl was extraordinarily high.


    Before anyone could react, Stun Zen, unable to contain himself, was the first to act.


    "Swish!"


    Leaping down from the high wall, Stun Zen eyed the Frostwing Bat King greedily. A streak of black energy flickered in his palm, transforming into a black blade. He then turned his head, his smile appearing quite gentle.


    "Young friend, you''ve done your best. Thank you for your contributions to Bloodstone Pass. As for the Frostwing Bat King, let me handle it for you."


    Stun Zen''s faint laughter echoed, and a cold, fierce look instantly gathered in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes. A subtle killing intent emanated from him.


    Earlier, when he was risking his life against the Frostwing Bat King, Stun Zen had been watching from the high wall, hoping he''d die sooner. But as soon as the Ice Marrow Pearl appeared, Stun Zen immediately intervened, aiming to kill the dying Frostwing Bat King and conveniently take the valuable Ice Marrow Pearl for himself.


    And he did it all while pretending to lend a helping hand.


    Such greed was truly disgraceful.


    "Master Stun, you''ve finally torn off your mask," Blaze Regret said, his gaze icy as he stared at Stun Zen. Behind him, Red and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros quickly closed in.


    "Young man, I don''t know what you''re talking about. However, it''s very dangerous down here. You should quickly return to the high wall. I''ll handle things here," Stun Zen said, feigning concern, as if he hadn''t orchestrated the battle between Blaze Regret and the Frostwing Bat King.


    After speaking, Stun Zen''s gaze shifted to the gleaming Ice Marrow Pearl, filled with greed.


    "You old thing, how shameless can you be? Brother Blaze was the one who took down the Frostwing Bat King. What does that have to do with you?" Walker Adam''s face flushed with anger, his voice full of fury.


    "Walker Adam, watch your mouth. My father acted out of righteousness, and that kid should be grateful," Stun Qistin sneered, a satisfied expression on her face.


    In her mind, Blaze Regret had no choice but to swallow his anger. How could he dare to confront a ninth rank spirit Imperial master?


    "Stun Zen is going to snatch the Ice Marrow Pearl. That kid is in trouble."


    "This is too overbearing. After all the hard fighting, he just jumps down and wants to claim the spoils of war for himself!"


    "Shh, keep your voice down. Don''t you want to live? That''s Stun Zen we''re talking about. He could kill you with a single hand."


    Whispers erupted atop the high wall, and countless eyes focused on Blaze Regret, many of them filled with a touch of pity.


    At the Bloodstone Pass, known for its blood soaked history, the principle of the strong devouring the weak is the norm. It wouldn''t matter if Stun Zen snatched the Ice Marrow Pearl or even killed Blaze Regret on the spot; no one would stand up for him. This is the harsh reality.


    "Heh, weren''t you quite tough? Be bold and show your arrogance again," Walker Nani thought to herself, coldly amused at the sight of Blaze Regret''s predicament.


    At this moment, everyone who had interacted with Blaze Regret was filled with mixed emotions, some delighted at his misfortune, others mocking him. Only a few sighed helplessly.


    After the previous battle, they all recognized that Blaze Regret was merely a seventh rank spirit Imperial master; otherwise, he wouldn''t have almost been killed by the Frostwing Bat King multiple times.


    "He''ll probably be back soon, looking quite embarrassed."


    Everyone thought the same, but most felt no contempt. After all, standing opposite Blaze Regret was one of the strongest in the Bloodstone Pass.


    Perhaps anticipating this, Stun Zen sneered disdainfully, his black blade slicing through the air in a ruthless arc as it unflinchingly aimed for the Frostwing Bat King''s head.


    "Master Stun, why do you and your useless son both enjoy stealing from others?"


    The helpless sigh from behind made Stun Zen''s pupils constrict. The knife that was about to pierce the Frostwing Bat King''s head froze mid air, as if time had stopped.


    In that brief moment of Stun Zen''s distraction, Blaze Regret shifted, firmly grasping the Ice Marrow Pearl embedded in the Frostwing Bat King''s abdomen in his palm.


    "You little brat, say that again!" Stun Zen raised his head, his crimson eyes fixated on Blaze Regret, a violent killing intent erupting from within him.


    The massive Bone Armor Rhino stomped closer to Stun Zen, its skeletal foot crashing down, shattering the Frostwing Bat King''s skull.


    "It seems Master Stun not only enjoys stealing but also has poor hearing," Blaze Regret replied coldly. The Ice Marrow Pearl in his hand transformed into a streak of light, darting into the Ice Lotus of his second spiritual portal. This moment was so subtle that even Silver Lin of the Blood Mark Gate failed to notice it.


    "Very good, very good!" A sinister and cruel smile emerged on Stun Zen''s face. He hadn''t expected that the one who would bring about his son''s demise would be this kid standing before him. Moreover, the third elder should also meet his end at his hands. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The thought that the Stun family''s top combat strength had all perished because of Blaze Regret caused Stun Zen''s killing intent to almost manifest physically, ready to burst forth.


    "I''ll soon make you understand how terrifying it is to be alive!"


    Stun Zen''s voice brimmed with murderous intent as the powerful spiritual energy erupted from the Bone Armor Rhino. It stepped forward, expressionless, and unleashed a punch.


    "High level Imperial grade Lord tier spiritual technique, Heavy Cannon Fist!"


    A torrent of energy, akin to a volcanic eruption, surged forward from the rhino''s fist, carrying an overwhelming pressure that violently surged towards Blaze Regret. This punch was enough to obliterate an ordinary eighth tier imperial grade spirit beast.

 Chapter 293 - 293 Fighting Above Level

    Indeed, the power of the Bone Armor Rhino was formidable. The momentum of this strike caused the air in front to explode successively.


    "Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Shattering Fist!"


    With a glint in his eyes, Blaze Regret sidestepped just in time, while the waiting Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros struck with its fist, creating a deafening sound as it collided with the vast energy.


    "Boom!" S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The ground beneath seemed to tremble at that moment, and the corpse of the Frostwing Bat King lying nearby was shredded by the energy whirlwind released from the collision. Blood mixed with the violent winds created a visually shocking scene.


    At the instant the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros attacked, the Bone Armor Rhino moved, black mist swirling beneath its feet, transforming into a wisp of black smoke that surged forward. Its white fist tore through the air, striking like lightning towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s head.


    "Hmph!"


    Sensing the rushing wind from the front, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros let out a cold grunt, its five fingers clenched into a fist, fearlessly meeting the attack. In an instant, a thunderous explosion rang out..


    After a fierce collision in an instant, the two similarly sized spiritual beasts were forced back repeatedly. However, the Bone Armor Rhino only staggered seven steps, while the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros was pushed back several dozen steps, clearly indicating the difference in their strength.


    Although the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros possessed the true dragon bloodline, it still hadn''t reached a level where it could fully merge its power with its body. It could only barely summon its strength through significant effort, but given the formidable power of the Bone Armor Rhino, it was hard to deliver a fatal blow.


    The consequence of failure was that the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros could end up being blown apart.


    In the distance behind them stood the towering city walls. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s outstretched hand trembled slightly; the powerful strike from the Bone Armor Rhino left its entire arm feeling extremely sore and numb.


    "Bone Armor Rhino, use your horn to charge! Crush it!"


    At Stun Zen''s sinister command, the Bone Armor Rhino stomped its foot, shattering the ground beneath it, and charged forward with fierce momentum. The single horn on its nose extended instantly, shining with a cold, white light like a sharp blade.


    The sharp horn pressed against the abdomen of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and the Bone Armor Rhino maintained its relentless assault, crashing into the thick city wall with a furious momentum.


    "Boom!"


    With a loud crash, the sturdy city wall shattered like fragile tofu, creating a depression over ten feet wide at the point of impact. Thick clouds of dust radiated in all directions.


    Feeling the massive tremor underfoot, the people on the high wall quietly swallowed their saliva, casting tense glances toward the depression.


    Perhaps Blaze Regret''s Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous has been crushed to pieces under this fierce impact.


    "Heh, a firefly trying to compete with the bright moon, overestimating itself," Stun Qistin sneered, as if he had already foreseen the outcome of the battle.


    "Crack!"


    A small piece of rubble fell from the depression, but the expected scene did not occur. Instead, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous appeared fierce, its palms glowing with dazzling dragon marks, tightly gripping the horn of the Bone Armor Rhino.


    A faint dragon roar echoed around.


    Upon hearing this sound, most of the spirit beasts on the high wall uncontrollably prostrated themselves, shivering as if in worship. Only a few extremely powerful beings managed to barely control their bodies, preventing them from kneeling.


    "Dragon mark, is this the legendary reversion to an ancestral form?" He Li whispered, his eyes widening in shock, revealing his inner turmoil.


    It is said that the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s ancestors possessed half the bloodline of a true dragon!


    Dragon, the weighty word pressed down on everyone, leaving them momentarily breathless.


    That is the supreme being of this continent!


    "Roar..."


    Facing the bloodthirsty gaze of the Bone Armor Rhino, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous let out a suppressed roar from its throat. The dragon marks on its palms became even clearer, as the trace of true dragon bloodline within it was being fully activated.


    "A reversion to an ancestral Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous!" Stun Zen''s face turned slightly grim. This unexpected turn of events made him feel uneasy, as if the gap in rank had been forcibly closed at this moment.


    A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous raised its right palm, forming it into a blade. It swiftly struck down at the Bone Armored Rhino''s horn, emitting a brilliant dragon mark that burst with intense light.


    "Swish!"


    A silver light flashed, and the Bone Armored Rhino let out a piercing howl. Its sharp horn, resembling a dagger, fell instantly, with the break smooth as a mirror. It took a moment before blood began to seep out.


    After punching the Bone Armored Rhino away, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous seemed to lose all its strength, heavily sitting on the shattered rocks. It then raised its right palm, squinting slightly.


    The once flawless silver armor now had numerous cracks, with crimson blood trickling down. Clearly, even though it had severed the Bone Armor Rhino''s sharp horn, the blade like edge had penetrated its palm''s defenses. Both were severely injured.


    Witnessing the eerie silence below, many held their breath, not daring to make a sound that might disrupt the tense atmosphere. Stun Qistin and others were shocked, unable to believe what they saw.


    A mere seventh rank Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous managed to fight a ninth rank Bone Armored Rhino to a standstill?


    Even more astounding was Silver Lin on the high wall. Only stronger spirit Imperial masters like him understood the immense gap between two ranks. Any other seventh rank Imperial gradr spirit beast wouldn''t withstand even a single punch from the Bone Armor Rhino, being blown apart. K

 Chapter 294 - 294 Trump Card

    Yet, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, with a trace of true dragon bloodline, managed a double knockout.


    It''s hard to imagine just how terrifying it would be if the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s bloodline were fully activated.


    As Stun Zen''s gaze flickered uncertainly, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous suddenly raised its palms, clapping them together forcefully.


    "Boom!"


    A faint wave of energy spread from its palms, causing the small stones on the ground to tremble slightly before all fell silent again.


    "Boom!"


    With another clap of its palms, the energy wave suddenly grew much stronger, and tiny cracks spread beneath it, crawling up the sunken city wall it was leaning against.


    "What the hell!" Stun Zen frowned, puzzled. This kind of spirit beast, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, had never appeared at Bloodstone Pass, so no one was familiar with this Pulse Shock Spiritual Technique.


    "Boom!"


    The third muffled sound spread, and the wave of energy, almost tangible, spread like lightning. The Frostwing Bats circling in the sky exploded instantly, forming a blood mist like deep red fireworks blooming and hanging in mid air.


    Caught in the energy wave, the Bone Armor Rhino''s body shuddered, and tiny, almost invisible cracks appeared on its bony surface. The crisp cracking sound made Stun Zen''s face change drastically.


    "What kind of spiritual technique is this?" Stun Zen''s hair stood on end. It was the first time he had witnessed such a bizarre spiritual technique, filling him with a sense of panic. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    No matter what, he had to stop the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous from continuing to use it!


    As the thought crossed his mind, Stun Zen watched in horror as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s palms slowly clapped together, the terrifying ripple spreading like a tidal wave.


    "Crack!"


    Cracks raced across the Bone Armor Rhino''s body, rapidly covering it. A mere touch would cause it to shatter on the spot.


    Suddenly, apart from the whistling wind, a deathly silence enveloped the area around Bloodstone Pass.


    Having unleashed the fourth level of the Pulse Shock, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s palms slowly lowered, its indifferent eyes revealing deep exhaustion. This massive expenditure was undoubtedly taxing for it.


    The higher the level of the Pulse Shock Spiritual Technique, the greater the power, but the more incredible the spiritual energy consumption.


    "Damn it."


    A fierce glint flashed in Stun Zen''s eyes as he gritted his teeth, reaching into his clothing. A white spiritual object, resembling a heart, appeared in his palm, radiating surging spiritual energy.


    "Kid, this was meant to save my life, but because of you, I have to use it," Stun Zen said fiercely, then hurled the white heart towards the Bone Armor Rhino.


    Gazing down below, Silver Lin wore a contemplative expression, which quickly turned to one of shock.


    "The Heart of White Bones, who would have thought Stun Zen actually managed to bring it out from the Abyss of Black Nether!" Silver Lin murmured softly. As someone who had ventured into the Abyss of Black Nether before, he was well aware of how terrifying the Heart of White Bones truly was.


    Watching as the Heart of White Bones merged into the Bone Armor Rhino, Blaze Regret''s eyes darkened slightly. He hadn''t expected Stun Zen to have such a trump card up his sleeve.


    A pale white light radiated from the Bone Armor Rhino''s body, and its cracks began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Long, sharp bone spikes shot out from its chest, presenting an intimidating sight.


    Caressing the long bone spikes on its chest, the Bone Armor Rhino lifted its face to look at the panting Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, a sinister smile slowly curling at its lips.


    The advantage had shifted in an instant.


    As the aura of the Bone Armor Rhino suddenly surged, the scene fell silent once more.


    At this moment, under the amplification of the Bone Heart, the Bone Armor Rhino was infinitely close to the lord level. Although this amplification would weaken over time, it was undeniable that the Bone Armor Rhino was now much stronger than before.


    With a mocking smile, the Bone Armor Rhino moved its feet, slowly walking towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. With every step it took, everyone''s hearts trembled, anticipating a gruesome scene to unfold soon.


    "Roar!"


    Staring intently at the Bone Armor Rhino, Red''s eyes were filled with rage. However, as it took a step forward, an irresistible suction force erupted from behind it, swiftly pulling it back into the Spirit portal.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Regret''s eyes turned sharp as he walked towards the Bone Armor Rhino without hesitation.


    Even if Red used Flame Breath, it was still no match for the Bone Armor Rhino and would most likely be killed with a single punch. Without a second thought, Blaze Regret summoned it back immediately.


    "You, a mere Spirit Imperial Master, want to go head to head with the Bone Armor Rhino?" Stun Zen sneered, his expression full of ridicule. This kid probably didn''t know what the word ''death'' meant.


    "Brother Blaze!" Walker Adam''s heart pounded as the Heavenly Eye on his forehead opened obscurely. But seeing the Ice Lotus still absorbing the energy of the Ice Marrow Pearl, he became anxious. The Bone Armor Rhino, known for its strength, was not something that could be compared to Steel Lin''s kind.


    Even a slight touch could turn him into a mist of blood!


    Even though he had anticipated this outcome, Blaze Regret still stood forward because the Bone Armor Rhino intended to kill his spirit beast.


    He couldn''t, and wouldn''t, allow the Bone Armor Rhino to kill the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous.


    With a flicker in its eyes, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s body moved slightly, a chill of unprecedented anger crossing its face.


    Its massive body stood before Blaze Regret, while the Bone Armor Rhino''s eyes were filled with thick mockery. Then, its fist slightly raised, it aimed at Blaze Regret''s head and punched down fiercely.

 Chapter 295 - 295 Consecutive breakthroughs

    If that punch landed, Blaze Regret''s head would likely burst like a watermelon.


    Clenching his teeth tightly, Blaze Regret gathered all his spiritual energy into his fist, then met the Bone Armor Rhino''s punch head on with a force that tore through the air.


    Even if he could barely withstand it, this arm would be completely shattered.


    Blaze Regret closed his eyes slightly, thinking bitterly to himself. Despite this, he never felt a hint of regret in his heart.


    "Boom!"


    A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted, blowing his short hair at the front.


    The anticipated pain did not come, and Blaze Regret opened his eyes in surprise. In his line of sight, a silver hand tightly gripped the Bone Armor Rhino''s fist, and a massive figure stood like a rock behind him.


    "Wow!"


    A chorus of astonished gasps echoed from the high walls because that figure was the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous!


    Caught by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, the Bone Armor Rhino was momentarily stunned, and then a surge of violent anger erupted in its heart. It clearly hadn''t expected the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous to still be able to stand at this moment.


    Facing the Bone Armor Rhino''s ferocious face, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s eyes remained as calm as still water. It extended its left hand, gently placing Blaze Regret behind it.


    After completing this set of actions, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s gaze suddenly turned sharp. It stomped its foot fiercely, and an incredibly unyielding aura erupted from within it, forcing the Bone Armor Rhino to retreat a few steps instantly.


    "At the eighth level?" Stun Zen''s eye twitched, and his face immediately turned extremely grim. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s sudden breakthrough was definitely not good news for him.


    The elders of the Blood Seal Gate, observing the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s violent aura, also narrowed their eyes. They vaguely sensed that besides a surge in strength, there seemed to be something indescribable about the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous at this moment.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist struck the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest without any embellishment. Sharp bone spikes pierced through the entire fist, yet the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s face showed no sign of pain. Immediately, the other hand clenched tightly and struck out fiercely.


    In an instant, its fists, brimming with violent spiritual power, rained down on the Bone Armor Rhino like raindrops. With a series of deep, muffled thuds, the Bone Armor Rhino''s body quickly retreated, while the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous followed closely, its fists striking out like lightning, creating what seemed like phantoms.


    The Bone Armor Rhino wanted to counterattack, but under the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s relentless assault, its raised fists were hammered back down. The immense force made its arms feel slightly numb.


    "Roar!"


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s fists landed solidly on the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest, its eyes filled with intense fervor. At this moment, it rediscovered the long lost thrill of battle, and its usual indifference had vanished.


    A fierce momentum spanning millions of years was reemerging on its body! It seemed to envision its ancestors standing proudly atop towering cliffs, unleashing invincible blows to the heavens!


    The battle instincts dormant in its blood were finally being awakened the moment Blaze Regret stood up for it!


    "Boom!"


    Another muffled sound echoed, with waves of violent energy rippling outwards from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous as the center. Its strength had unexpectedly risen another level!


    "Damn it, how is this possible!" Stun Zen''s face changed dramatically, shouting in disbelief. The Bone Armor Rhino could barely hold its own against the eighth level Imperial grade Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, but with another level up, there was no way to suppress it without a lord level spirit beast!


    "Ninth level!" A look of shock flashed in Silver Lin''s eyes. The outcome of this battle seemed to be decided. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    On the high walls, people gazed in awe at the overwhelmingly powerful Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. Consecutive breakthroughs weren''t unheard of, but they typically occurred after absorbing rare treasures. Witnessing a two level advancement through combat alone was a first for them!


    "Have I finally gained your recognition?" A relieved smile spread across Blaze Regret''s face. Previously, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous fought with a sense of indifference, never fully unleashing its potential. But now, it was finally showcasing its true form.


    This was the true embodiment of power!


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous had completely transformed!


    "Roar!"


    Watching the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous relentlessly pummel the Bone Armor Rhino, Red''s eyes flickered with light, realizing it was now the weakest link in terms of strength.


    A long trail of dust was kicked up by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s frenzied assault, trailing on the ground from the rapidly retreating Bone Armor Rhino.


    "My young friend, can we negotiate?" Stun Zen was getting anxious. The Bone Armor Rhino was undoubtedly his strongest spirit beast, and any mishap would jeopardize the Stun Family''s standing at Bloodstone Pass in the future.


    "It''s too late," Blaze Regret said softly, his voice chilling Stun Zen to the core.


    Silver spiritual energy surged on the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s fist. As it gazed into the terrified eyes of the Bone Armor Rhino, a cold gleam flashed across its face. Powerful energy burst forth, shattering the air wherever its silver fist went, and a deep explosion echoed in everyone''s ears.


    "Boom!"


    The silver fist heavily struck the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest, unleashing a violent gust that sent its body shooting straight into the city wall like a cannonball.


    Everyone on the high walls swallowed lightly, their scalps tingling. If that punch had landed on them, there wouldn''t even be a trace left.


    Shaking off the blood from its hand, the fervor in the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s eyes gradually faded. It lifted its foot and stomped fiercely on the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest. Under the immense force, the Bone Armor Rhino''s body was pressed tightly into the sunken wall.

 Chapter 296 - 296 Admit Defeat

    Reaching out to grab a sharp bone spike, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous lowered its head, its eyes revealing a sinister smile like a demon from hell, causing the Bone Armor Rhino to shiver involuntarily.


    "Young friend, can we have a talk?"


    Seeing the actions of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous, Stun Zen was a bit confused but still called out in a panic. In his heart, he finally felt some regret. If he had known it would come to this, why provoke this young man?


    "Father, what''s there to talk about with him? If he dares to harm the Bone Armor Rhino even a little, Elder Peter and others will make him pay a heavy price!" Stun Qistin shouted angrily, his eyes wide open. Behind the Stun Family stood a force that even the Blood seal Gate couldn''t afford to offend.


    Hearing this, Walker Lin''s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a mysterious glint flashed in his old, cloudy eyes.


    It seemed like he had received some remarkable news.


    Stun Zen trembled upon hearing this and was about to tell Stun Qistin to shut up, but the latter''s arrogant voice sounded again.


    "I order you to quickly make your spirit beast back off obediently. Don''t think that just because you have a little strength, you can act recklessly in Bloodstone Pass. Some people are beyond your ability to offend." Stun Qistin placed his hands on his hips, his face showing an unquestionable expression.


    "Some people seem to have quite the backing," lightly rubbed his chin with his palm and, after a moment, Blaze Regret nodded with a smile at the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous.


    But so what if they have backing? If he were to reveal his own backing, even the empire''s central powers might not be enough to compare.


    Moreover, his backing could come to his aid at any moment.


    With Blaze Regret''s signal, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous grinned, and its massive hand suddenly yanked backward. With a crisp crack, a sharp bone spur was forcefully torn from the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest.


    As the bone spur snapped, a blood curdling scream erupted from the Bone Armor Rhino''s mouth, echoing for tens of thousands of feet.


    Seeing that Blaze Regret dared to take action, Stun Qistin became instantly flustered, and the commanding expression on her face quickly disappeared. She realized that her previous arrogant words did nothing but provoke her opponent. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Foolish," Silver Van said calmly, his voice unhidden, allowing most people on the high wall to hear it clearly. Their eyes showed a hint of disdain.


    If Blaze Regret had family in Bloodstone Pass, there might have been leverage to make him hesitate. But provoking a strong wanderer would only invite reckless revenge.


    Finally realizing this, Stun Qistin turned pale and could barely stand.


    "Young friend, if we can let this matter go, I can compensate you with three hundred thousand gold coins!" Stun Zen shot an angry glare at Stun Qistin, then looked at Blaze Regret, his voice filled with urgency.


    Hearing Stun Zen back down, many strong individuals on the high wall felt it was surreal. This was Stun Zen, a powerful ninth rank spirit Imperial master, in all of Bloodstone Pass, besides Silver Lucas, there was actually someone who could make him wary.


    And this person was just a young man!


    However, just as everyone thought Blaze Regret would accept this huge compensation, a cold voice suddenly rang out.


    "Sorry, I refuse."


    Seeing Stun Zen''s incredulous expression, softly said, "Master Stun, if you think I''m just a rookie passing through, you''re gravely mistaken. Since you have a powerful backing, if I let you go, I might be the one in danger in the future."


    As Blaze Regret finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous''s eyes. Its spirit power covered hands swung forcefully, pulling out the bone spurs from the Bone Armor Rhino''s chest one by one.


    It wouldn''t forget that these spurs had pierced through its fists several times.


    Looking at the dying Bone Armor Rhino, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous lifted its foot and stomped down on its head without hesitation.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones shattering echoed, and Stun Qistin''s face on the high wall turned extremely horrified. If she hadn''t made threats, Blaze Regret would likely have accepted the enormous compensation of three hundred thousand gold coins. Now, with the death of the Bone Armor Rhino, she was undoubtedly partly responsible.


    "Sigh, Master Stun is quite a figure, but how did he end up with a daughter like that? Truly unfortunate for the family."


    "Heh, she exposed her cards so easily. I wonder what kind of force is really behind the Stun Family."


    "Even if that force is powerful, so what? With the death of his chief spirit beast, Stun Zen is crippled for at least three years. This injury is far more severe than breaking a spirit contract."


    The whispers around her made Stun Qistin''s lips turn pale. She vaguely realized the trouble her actions had brought upon the Stun Family. The grim looks from Walker Lin and others guaranteed that the now crippled Stun Family wouldn''t have a bright future.


    And all of this was caused by her arrogance.


    "You little brat, I''ll fight you to the death!"


    With the Bone Armor Rhino dead, Stun Zen trembled, warm blood spurting wildly from his mouth. He raised his head, glaring viciously at Blaze Regret, a black blade quickly forming in his palm.


    Blaze Regret smirked slightly, clenching his fist. If he could shatter spirit Imperial beasts, a spirit Imperial master was no threat.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, after charging a few steps forward, Stun Zen suddenly turned around, transforming into a black shadow and swiftly darting away, like a trail of black smoke.


    "You little brat, I''ll make you regret this!"


    "Ghost Shadow Step, huh," Walker Lin murmured, a cold laugh escaping his lips as he watched Stun Zen''s retreating figure.

 Chapter 297 - 297 Open

    "He actually ran away." Blaze Regret was slightly taken aback. When he realized it, he couldn''t help but find it amusing. Stun Zen was indeed quite the character, fleeing so decisively even with his family left behind. But admittedly, escaping was the wisest choice at this moment.


    After all, preserving strength is the only way to have a chance for revenge.


    "Since you''ve said that, I suppose I have to take some action."


    Blaze Regret lifted his head, his indifferent gaze falling on Walker Sin. "You know what to do next, right?"


    Walker Sin shivered slightly, surprised that Blaze Regret was speaking directly to him. He quickly nodded, his fierce old eyes sweeping over the members of the Stun Family.


    No matter what tricks you try to pull, before Stun Zen returns, we''ll just have to deal with you. After all, you never intended to leave the Walker family any room to survive!


    Seeing this, Walker Adam finally felt a slight sense of relief. Thankfully, the Walker family''s elder hadn''t completely disappointed him.


    "Silver Ray, the Walker family is actually going to take on the Stun Family. Hurry and get the elders of the Blood Seal Gate to wipe them out!" Stun Qistin hastily sought advice from Silver Ray. If Walker Sin really started a massacre, the weakened Stun Family wouldn''t have many who could withstand it.


    "Heh, doesn''t your Stun Family have some big figure backing you? Do you still need us?" Silver Van shielded Silver Ray behind him, laughing coldly. His words made Stun Qistin feel as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss.


    Hearing this, Walker Lin also let out a cold snort. The Stun Family''s ambitions were not small. The fact that the Blood Seal Gate hadn''t wiped them out was already fortunate, and now they dared to ask for help? It was utterly absurd.


    On the high wall, silence prevailed. All the gazes directed at the Stun Family members carried a mix of pity and ridicule. It seemed that soon, the Stun Family would be erased from Bloodstone Pass, all because of Stun Zen''s incapable daughter.


    Every member of the Stun Family turned their eyes to the trembling Stun Qistin, their looks filled with undisguised grief and anger.


    "Boom!"


    Just as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinocerous returned to Blaze Regret''s side, a fierce blast of air suddenly swept over. In the distance, black energy surged from the direction of the Black Abyss, rising like a giant black mushroom cloud. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "The seal on the Black Abyss has opened ahead of time?" Walker Adam murmured in shock.


    "Hiss!"


    A massive swarm of Frostwing Bats frantically fled from that direction, among which six enormous black shadows emanated astonishing energy.


    Witnessing this scene, everyone on the high wall felt their nerves tighten. These six black shadows were all Frostwing Bat Kings!


    An overwhelming pressure surged from the sky. As everyone on the high wall gazed at the six formidable-looking Frostwing Bat Kings, their eyes trembled. Could it be that Bloodstone Pass really couldn''t be defended today?


    Just one Frostwing Bat King was enough to cause chaos, and with six descending at once, it undoubtedly cut off any chance of survival for them!


    Standing on the ground and looking up into the distance, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered uncertainly. The survival of Bloodstone Pass didn''t really concern him that much. After all, Blaze Wahab and the others were still far away from here and wouldn''t fall prey to the Frostwing Bat Kings. Moreover, his goal was always the mysterious Black Abyss.


    Within that abyss lies an extremely rare mystical beast!


    However, the situation changed with the presence of Walker Adam, one of his few friends. Although Walker Adam had always been very respectful towards him, Blaze Regret always considered him an equal.


    "Forget it, I''ll find a chance to send that kid away later," Blaze Regret thought. As for the rest of the Silver family, he couldn''t care less. Whether they lived or died had nothing to do with him.


    "Great Elder, what should we do..." Walker Nani''s voice carried a hint of sobbing, lacking any of her usual arrogance.


    "Sigh!"


    Walker sin shook his head with a sigh and said softly, "Go and ask that kid for help. If he agrees, perhaps we might have a slim chance of survival today."


    "Ask him?"


    Walker Nani immediately stopped crying and glanced sideways at Blaze Regret with a hint of disdain in her voice. "He can''t even guarantee his own safety, let alone ours. Besides, Stun Zen just escaped with his life and he will surely face terrifying retaliation in the future. I don''t want to get involved with such bad luck."


    The speed of the Frostwing Bat Kings was terrifyingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had swooped down. Amidst the drifting black snowflakes, Blaze Regret stood with a slightly grim expression, while the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros clenched its fists, its eyes filled with intense battle spirit. It wanted to test whether its current strength was enough to crush a Frostwing Bat King with a single punch.


    As the Frostwing Bat Kings gazed down at the two small figures below, they exchanged glances and, surprisingly, bypassed Blaze Regret''s position, diving straight into the crowd, leaving a trail of blood.


    As lord level spirit beasts, they possessed a certain level of intelligence, understanding how to avoid danger. From the large silver figure below, they sensed a lethal threat, so without hesitation, they abandoned their attack on Blaze Regret.


    "Silver Van, quickly send a message to the Sect Master!" Silver lin''s angry shout was immediately drowned out by the chaotic noise of the Frostwing Bats.


    The remaining Ghost Vine Flowers stayed around the members of the Blood Seal Gate, with blood red vines interconnecting to form a vine wall. Even after attacking for a while, the vine wall remained sturdy, prompting a Frostwing Bat King to turn its attention elsewhere in search of new targets.

 Chapter 298 - 298 Silver Lucas

    In an instant, the high walls of Bloodstone Pass transformed into a hellish scene, with torrents of blood streaming down the walls.


    Seeing this, Blaze Regret sighed lightly in his heart but felt no sympathy. The people of Bloodstone Pass were mostly lawless, many of whom had committed heinous crimes and were unwelcome in other towns, leading them to this place out of necessity.


    The way the Stun Family ruthlessly to killed Blaze Wahab and others revealed just how insane these people were.


    Bloodstone Pass, a place stained red with blood, was also a land of sin. Their fate was a consequence of their own actions.


    "Ah!"


    Suddenly, a piercing scream resounded from the high wall. A Frostwing Bat King ascended into the sky, its massive wings flapping, and beneath its claws hung the pale faced Walker Nani.


    "Sis!" Walker Adam''s heart burned like fire at the sight. Despite their constant disagreements, Walker Nani was still his sister. Although they weren''t related by blood, he would have reacted the same if it had been any other member of the Walker family.


    "You idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and save me!" Walker Nani, despite her pale face, couldn''t help but shout. It was a habit she had accumulated over the years.


    "Brother Blaze!" Walker Adam looked at Blaze Regret, pleading for help.


    With a grim expression, Blaze Regret nodded, patting the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros on the shoulder and quickly stepping back. It was only because of Walker Adam that he reluctantly agreed to help. Otherwise, even if Walker Nani died right in front of him, he wouldn''t have paid any attention.


    Gathering spiritual power in its fist, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros squinted its eyes and delivered a punch. A silver white energy shockwave sliced through the air, piercing through the Frostwing Bat King''s chest in an instant.


    Witnessing this ferocious punch, many on the high wall forgot their battle with the Frostwing Bats, staring dumbfounded at the beam of light shooting skyward, with the end of the beam faintly resembling a rhinoceros''s head.


    The power of that single punch was terrifying!


    Lowering its fist, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s chest heaved rapidly. That punch had nearly drained all the spiritual power from its body, even emptying the spiritual power within its spiritual portal.


    "No wonder it''s a spirit beast that Master Magi constantly thinks about," Blaze Regret thought to himself. A spirit beast capable of defeating an opponent across ranks was rare, and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with its true dragon bloodline, was undoubtedly one of them.


    Suspended lifelessly in the sky, the light in the Frostwing Bat King''s eyes slowly faded. Its body tilted and fell powerlessly, its claws releasing their grip.


    "Ah!"


    Walker Nani screamed as she plummeted uncontrollably, cursing Blaze Regret a million times in her heart. Was he trying to kill her with the fall from such a height? Even now, she felt no gratitude towards Blaze Regret, only deep seated hatred.


    However, before she hit the ground, a swarm of Frostwing Bats rushed at her. Each one that landed on her tore away a piece of flesh, and one even bit off her right ear.


    Surrounded by the Frostwing Bat horde, Walker Nani''s terrified screams lasted only a few seconds before they ceased entirely, as a Frostwing Bat with blood red eyes viciously tore open her throat.


    "Big sister!" Walker Adam felt as if a heavy hammer struck his chest, leaving him heartbroken. A faint red glow flashed briefly at the center of his forehead before disappearing.


    "I did my best," Blaze Regret thought to himself as he glanced in Walker Adam''s direction. His indifferent gaze then scanned the surrounding battlefield.


    After swallowing a few spirit restoring pills, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros gradually returned to its peak form. A fierce aura erupted from within it once more, intimidating the surrounding Frostwing Bats within a ten meter radius, leaving them too frightened to approach.


    The remaining five Frostwing Bat Kings showed no concern for their fallen companion, continuing their slaughter with excited, eerie cries.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a blood red streak of light suddenly shot down from the sky, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. It traced a magnificent arc of crimson light through the air, slicing through the bodies of the five Frostwing Bat Kings with lightning speed.


    After tearing through the last Frostwing Bat King''s body, the blood red streak paused slightly in the air, revealing itself as a gleaming cross shaped blade.


    "It''s the Sect Master Silver! Sect Master Silver has appeared!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly. The mysterious master of the Blood Seal Gate was finally making an appearance. He wondered what the master would feel upon seeing his sons'' severed arms.


    It seemed like the real trouble was about to begin.


    The sharp cross blade sliced through the air, tracing a long, semicircular arc before being caught steadily by a blood red hand. With a gentle twist, the hand set the cross blade spinning rapidly, emitting a piercing whooshing sound that caused the circling Frostwing Bats to momentarily pause before they frantically fled to either side of Bloodstone Pass.


    Blaze Regret gazed at the blood colored figure with narrowed eyes. The spirit beast''s appearance was not much different from a human, except for its blood tinted skin, exuding an overwhelming aura of bloodlust.


    The Blood Fiend General, a high level Lord grade spirit beast with blood attributes! The moment this spirit beast appeared, the vast Bloodstone Pass fell into silence, and even the howling cold wind froze in place.


    Its gaze slightly lowered, the Blood Fiend General looked down coldly at Blaze Regret. Its blood red armor, with sharp, defined edges, emanated a majestic aura. Then it shifted its gaze, slowly raising its hand and gently clenching it at the soon to fall five Frostwing Bat Kings.

    "Bang!"


    Five clusters of crimson blood mist exploded in the air, transforming into streams of light that quickly merged into the Blood Fiend General, intensifying the bloodthirsty aura it exuded.

 Chapter 299 - 299 Jinx

    "A blood attribute spirit beast is indeed bizarre."


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly in his heart. "However, this Blood Fiend General clearly has no wings, yet it can hover in the air. Normally, a lord grade spirit beast shouldn''t possess this ability. Could it be related to Silver Lucas''s cultivation technique?"


    Blaze Regret''s speculation proved to be quite accurate.


    Silver Lucas''s cultivation technique, known as Blood Swirl, could create an invisible blood vortex beneath the spirit beast''s feet, lifting it up. Although its mobility couldn''t match winged spirit beasts like the Frostwing Bat, its role in battle was extremely significant.


    "Silver Van, what happened to your arm?"


    A hoarse voice sounded beside Silver Van, as a small blood red tornado mysteriously appeared atop the high wall. The tornado split open, revealing the figure of a middle aged man with a sullen expression.


    "Master!"


    Upon seeing this person, Silver Lin and the others showed a trace of joy on their faces. With him present, minor threats like the Frostwing Bat King couldn''t possibly breach the defenses of Bloodstone Pass.


    Earlier, the Frostwing Bat King''s body had no resistance against the Blood Fiend General''s cross blade, being sliced as easily as cutting through tofu, which proved the Blood Fiend General''s formidable strength.


    "Father, and mine too!" Silver Ray pushed through a few figures, gritting his teeth as he spoke. His left arm also had an empty sleeve swaying loosely. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What exactly happened?" Although Silver Lucas''s voice was extremely calm, it sent shivers down the spines of the surrounding elders. They felt a bone chilling coldness in his tone.


    "Father, it was that boy. Not only did he bully my second brother, but he also attempted to kill me!" Silver Van turned his gaze, pointing fiercely in Blaze Regret''s direction, causing an uproar.


    Could it be that both brothers'' arms were rendered useless because of Blaze Regret?


    Faced with Silver Van''s accusation, Blaze Regret merely squinted his eyes without any intention of explaining. Having mingled in the world for so long, he understood the harshness of life, only with a strong fist does one have the right to speak.


    "You''ve gone too far, young man." Silver Lucas''s eyes were filled with gloom as he slowly looked in Blaze Regret''s direction. Meanwhile, the Blood Fiend General in mid air gently flicked the cross blade, effortlessly catching the spinning, sharp blade in its hand.


    The sharpest point of the blade was aimed directly at Blaze Regret.


    "Master Silver, I think you know the truth of the matter." Blaze Regret glanced at Silver Ray and then at Stun Qistin, returning to silence. Some things are best left implied.


    "A child of the Stun family, huh? I''ve said before, she will bring you trouble sooner or later." Silver Lucas looked calmly at Silver Ray, but his words made Stun Qistin, in the distance, suddenly freeze.


    The strongest figure in Bloodstone Pass, with a light remark, had undoubtedly criticized her thoroughly.


    In short, she was deemed a jinx!


    Hearing Silver Ray''s words, the crowd on the high wall had rather peculiar expressions. After all, he was the leader of Blood seal Gate, with a keen eye for people. Stun Qistin not only brought calamity to Silver Ray and Silver Van but even her father, Stun Zen, almost died at Blaze Regret''s hands because of her!


    "Father, I will annul the engagement with her now."


    Silver Ray gritted his teeth, reached into his clothes with his right hand, and threw out a white piece of paper. He looked coldly at the pale faced Stun Qistin and said, "From today onwards, our engagement is nullified, and Blood seal Gate will not allow you to step in any further."


    It was no joke, if he didn''t end this misfortune now, next time, it might not just be an arm he loses. Just look at Stun Zen fleeing in panic; the entire Stun family almost faced annihilation because of her!


    The white paper fluttered in the air, and Stun Qistin swayed, nearly collapsing to the ground. She had agreed to the engagement to enjoy the resources of Blood seal Gate, but now it was all for nothing.


    Walker Adam glanced at Stun Qistin and then withdrew his gaze, feeling no emotion. Compared to Walker Nani''s death, he didn''t even have the heart to watch the ensuing commotion.


    Silver Lucas nodded in satisfaction, showing approval for his younger son for the first time. Losing an arm to learn a lesson was better than losing his life in the future.


    "Young man, although I would like nothing more than to kill you immediately, I still want to hear your explanation." Silver Lucas''s gaze fell on Blaze Regret, and his hoarse voice carried a strong questioning tone, which was rather uncomfortable.


    Seeing Silver Lucas''s aggression, the murmurs that arose from Silver Ray''s annulment fell silent. The gazes directed at Blaze Regret were filled with a sense of pity.


    In front of Silver Lucas, Stun Zen didn''t even have the courage to speak loudly, and Blaze Regret had already found it extremely challenging to deal with a Stun Zen. Anyone could imagine the outcome of facing Silver Lucas.


    However, Blaze Regret merely lifted his eyes coldly, looking at Silver Lucas without expression.


    "I never need to explain my actions to anyone."


    After a pause, Blaze Regret continued, "Certainly not to you."


    Upon hearing this, Silver Lucas''s already sullen expression became even darker, like the ominous signs of an approaching storm, extremely frightening.


    "Youth, I''ve seen many arrogant people, but none of them ended well," Silver Lucas said slowly.


    "Is that so? I''d like to see for myself," Blaze Regret replied with a grin, showing no trace of fear on his face. His calm demeanor left many wondering what kind of trump card a seventh level spirit Imperial master could possibly have to face a powerful spirit lord Master so confidently.


    "Whoosh!"


    As soon as Blaze Regret finished speaking, the Blood Fiend General in mid air narrowed its eyes coldly.

 Chapter 300 - 300 Awake

    The cross blade in its hand became enveloped in a scarlet aura and shot out violently, tracing a blood red, sharp arc through the air.


    A high level lord tier spiritual technique, the Whirling Blood Blade!


    Seeing the Blood Fiend General unleash such a fierce attack right away, the crowd on the high wall was in an uproar.


    Silver Lucas was going for the kill!


    The cross blade carried a sharp wave, violently swooping down from the sky. As it spun, it formed a blood colored light wheel capable of slicing through everything, leaving a slender, deep mark in the air.


    "Little brother, run!" Walker Sin''s heart screamed frantically. In front of the second tier high lord grade Blood Demon General, Blaze Regret had no chance of resistance. But if he fled, there was still a chance of survival.


    After all, Blaze Regret was a dual source spirit Imperial master. If he sacrificed one of his spirit beasts to hold off the Blood Demon General, preserving his life wouldn''t be too difficult.


    "Go to hell!" Silver Van and Silver Ray''s faces were vicious, their eyes glaring at Blaze Regret with sinister hatred.


    "You ruined my plans; this is your retribution." Stun Qistin''s eyes were filled with venomous resentment. She blamed Blaze Regret for her humiliation. If it weren''t for him, Silver Ray wouldn''t have divorced her publicly, causing her disgrace.


    The rapidly spinning blood colored cross blade tore through the air, appearing indescribably sharp from afar.


    "You''ve been asleep for so long, it''s time for you to wake up." Blaze Regret''s eyes reflected the long light arc, and a gentle murmur escaped his lips.


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s calm expression, Silver Lucas''s eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    The light arc transformed from the cross blade shot forward, and just when it was less than ten feet from Blaze Regret, a cold aura suddenly erupted from his body, freezing the surrounding air as if it had turned to ice.


    "Whoosh!"


    An ice blue gleam suddenly flashed in mid air, colliding heavily with the blood colored light arc of the cross blade. With a crisp "ding" sound, the cross blade rebounded, tracing a blood colored streak before landing back in the Blood Demon General''s hand.


    Clutching the icy cross blade, the Blood Demon General squinted slightly.


    Suspended in mid air was an ice lotus about a meter in size. Its light blue glow shimmered across its surface, and due to the intensified cold, tiny ice crystals began to form around it, looking particularly splendid.


    "What is that?"


    The sudden appearance of the ice lotus startled everyone, a flicker of confusion passing through their eyes.


    "Blood Demon General, break that ice lotus!"


    In Silver Lucas''s cold voice, the Blood Demon General''s cross blade shot out fiercely, slashing at the side of the ice lotus. It quickly rebounded, and the sharp blade only left a faint white mark on the surface of the ice lotus.


    The Blood Demon General''s eyes suddenly turned cold, and with a swift wave of his hand, the cross blade flickered madly in the sky, forming a blood colored line as it fiercely hacked at the ice lotus.


    "Whoosh!"


    Suddenly, a wave of freezing cold air burst forth from the ice lotus, forcing the Blood Demon General to catch the returning blood red cross blade. His eyes narrowed slightly as he stepped back several dozen yards in mid air.


    Suspended quietly in the sky, the petals of the ice lotus began to unfold under the watchful eyes of many. A faint mist swirled around the ice lotus.


    Within the ice lotus lay a completely crystalline Ice Control Irenix, resting atop the lotus heart. After a moment of stillness, its wings suddenly spread open with a rustle. Clear ice veins appeared on its broad wings, which shimmered, complementing its graceful form.


    "A lord level spirit beast, how is this possible!" Silver Lucas''s heart shook violently. The spirit beast that suddenly emerged from Blaze Regret''s spirit portal possessed lord level strength, and it was the extremely rare Ice Control Irenix!

    As Silver Lucas stood in shock, an uproar erupted on the high wall. In addition to fire and rock attributes, Blaze Regret also had an ice attribute spirit beast!


    Doesn''t this mean Blaze Regret is a triple source spirit master?


    Upon realizing this, many people felt their mouths go dry. Double source spirit masters were exceedingly rare, with only one ever appearing in the entire history of the Sun Moon Empire. Yet this unassuming young man turned out to be a triple source spirit master!


    If this news reached the empire''s center, it would undoubtedly cause a significant stir.


    "A triple source spirit master, how could this damned guy possibly be a triple source spirit master!" Stun Qistin''s face turned pale, a sense of powerlessness rising within her. She could vaguely sense that the aura of the Ice Control Irenix was no less powerful than the Blood Demon General!


    "This one cannot be left alive!" Silver Lin and the other elders of the Blood Seal Gate exchanged glances, nodding silently. They could all see the ruthlessness in each other''s eyes.


    "Better to offend an old man than a poor youth" is an unchanging truth.


    But since the grudge had already been formed, any potential threat must be eliminated in advance!


    Especially this young man, whose talent and temperament were both extremely troublesome.


    Understanding this point, the elders of the Blood Seal Gate directed the nearly recovered Ghost Vine Flower to slowly climb down the city wall. Sharp blood tendrils tore at the ground, quickly burrowing into it.


    These actions were quite concealed, so much so that even the people on the high wall didn''t notice a thing.


    "Master Silver, do we need to continue this battle?" Blaze Regret asked calmly.


    In the distance lay the Black Abyss. Although he was eager to explore it, he was prepared to fight to the end if Silver Lucas insisted on a deathmatch.


    After all, the Ice Control Irenix was no longer what it used to be!

 Chapter 301 - 301 Ice Soul Technique

    With a fierce glint in his eyes, Silver Lucas squinted slightly as he watched the ice lotus merge into the Ice Control Irenix. His already gloomy expression darkened further.


    This spirit beast must be eliminated; otherwise, it could potentially threaten the position of the Blood Seal Gate in the future!


    "Boy, if you think relying on this Ice Control Irenix gives you the right to challenge the Blood Seal Gate, then you''re too naive."


    Staring intently at Blaze Regret below, Silver Lucas''s expression turned fierce: "Blood Demon General, use the Blood Sacrifice Strike to smash that Ice Control Irenix''s body!"


    "Buzz!"


    The Blood Demon General nodded, slowly extending his right hand as the cross blade in his hand began to spin violently. The high speed rotation made it resemble a blood colored vortex, emitting a strong scent of blood.


    "Ding!"


    With a gentle flap of its transparent wings, the Ice Control Irenix gazed at the Blood Demon General hovering in mid air. A series of ice crystal threads quickly wove around it, forming an incredibly complex ice formation.


    The formation spun gently, and, if looked at closely, a flawless ice lotus seemed to be slowly forming in the center of the formation.


    Watching this scene, Blaze Regret was slightly astonished. Currently, the Ice Control Irenix, like the Blood Demon General, was at a second tier imperial grade high lord level. At this stage, it shouldn''t be able to comprehend new spirit techniques, especially given that, unlike the Red, the spirit techniques possessed by the Ice Control Irenix were extremely rare.


    It was only upon reaching the seventh tier imperial grade that the Ice Control Irenix would comprehend the powerful high lord level spirit technique, the Ice Heaven Funeral! The current scene was completely beyond Blaze Regret''s expectations.


    "Ding!"


    With a gentle flap of its wings, the Ice Control Irenix caused the formation to dissipate, leaving only a massive ice lotus floating in front of it. The tip of each ice lotus petal glimmered with a bone chilling frost.


    "Is this..."


    After a slight hesitation, an incredulous light flashed across Blaze Regret''s eyes: "The spirit technique from the Ice Lotus sage''s cultivation method, the Ice Soul Technique, Ice Soul Cold Flower?"


    The Ice Soul Technique is a spiritual technique cultivated by the Spirit King expert, Master Ice Lotus. In the Sun Moon Empire, this is no longer a secret. However, knowledge about the offensive spiritual skill Ice Soul Cold Flower that comes with the Ice Soul technique is extremely rare.


    Blaze Regret, through ancient records, clearly knows that when Master Ice Lotus was just a spirit Imperial master, he once used this Ice Soul Cold Flower to kill a powerful lord level spirit beast!


    Therefore, when he saw the ice lotus floating in front of Ice Control Irenix, his expression was exceptionally peculiar.


    Unexpectedly, Master Ice Lotus not only failed to seize his body but also provided him with a grand gift in the process.


    The crystal clear ice lotus stands erect in front of Ice Control Irenix, slowly rotating. It targets the core of the Blood Demon General, with deep blue energy rapidly converging. As each ice lotus petal unfolds, a massive spiral ice spike extends from the core.


    Instantly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth frantically surged toward the spiral ice spike, causing the tip to glisten with a chilling light.


    "Hmph."


    A gloomy cold snort echoed. The Blood Demon General gently placed his palm on the back of the rotating cross blade. From the rotating blood colored vortex, streams of impactful light spewed forth overwhelmingly, resembling crowded blood colored little snakes, with a stench that made one''s scalp tingle.


    Witnessing the relentless onslaught of the Blood Demon General, Ice Control Irenix gently flapped her wings, and the gigantic spiral ice spike silently shot out from the lotus core. The ice lotus shattered explosively, transforming into pale blue ice crystals that trailed behind the spiral ice spike, forming a long icy tail.


    In the sky, the powerful offensive of the Blood Demon General and Ice Control Irenix collided like lightning. However, the anticipated loud noise did not occur. The sharp spiral ice spike slowly flew through the group of blood colored snakes. When it reappeared in the sky, its originally clear body was stained with indelible blood grime.


    As for those blood colored little snakes, their numbers drastically reduced, leaving a circular void in the center.


    "Ding!"


    After retreating slightly, several transparent ice mirrors appeared at the spot where Ice Control Irenix had just been. The blood colored little snakes fiercely crashed into them, and after shattering three ice mirrors, they finally dissipated entirely.


    With an indifferent gaze, the Blood Demon General watched the spiraling ice spike shooting toward him. He raised the cross blade in his hand and spun it quickly, instantly shredding the spiraling ice spike into countless icy fragments.


    The fierce clash seemed to last long, but in reality, it occurred in just a few breaths. The people on the high wall were all shocked. Could this young man really hold his own against Silver Lucas?


    This was the mightiest presence at Bloodstone Pass! S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This can''t be true!" Silver Van and Silver Ray were stunned. Blaze Regret was younger than them, yet at such an age, he was already able to confront a spirit Lord master?


    This realization dealt a significant blow to their hearts.


    "Damn it!" Stun Qistin gritted his teeth, leaving a deep imprint on the city wall with his hand.


    "I must admit, you''ve surprised me," Silver Lucas said after a moment of silence, his voice carrying a chilling murderous intent.


    In response, Blaze Regret merely smiled. Meanwhile, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros beside him flashed a cold light in its eyes.


    With its silver hand open, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros fiercely clawed at the ground. The hard rock was as fragile as glass before it, shattering instantly. It forcefully pulled out a blood colored vine covered in spikes.

 Chapter 302 - 302 Shameless

    "Clang!"


    As the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros pulled upward, a massive crack tore open the ground below, and the body of the Ghost Vine Flower was wrenched out entirely.


    "Ghost Vine Flower?"


    Everyone was momentarily stunned, and strange glances turned toward the elders of the Blood Seal Gate.


    To resort to sneak attacks at their age, how shameless!


    With the struggling Ghost Vine Flower underfoot, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros didn''t stop. It continued tearing open the ground, forcefully pulling out the remaining three Ghost Vine Flowers.


    After wrapping its hand around them a few times, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros looked at the intertwined blood colored vines and nodded in satisfaction. At the other end of the vines, four flower heads were stacked together, their expressions one of terror.


    "In three breaths, have your Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros release the Ghost Vine Flowers, or you will surely regret it," Silver Lucas''s voice was icy and sinister, his eyes filled with a chilling intent.


    Standing on the high wall, several elders from the Blood Seal Gate also wore grim expressions. They had assumed that the four Ghost Vine Flowers attacking simultaneously would easily take down Blaze Regret. However, they had overlooked the presence of the ninth rank advanced Imperial grade Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros standing beside Blaze Regret!

    Earth element spirit beasts are extremely sensitive to underground movements.


    "Regret?" Blaze Regret smirked, a hint of mockery in his smile.


    Looking down at the spiraled blood colored vines in his palm, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros suddenly shook its arm. The large flower heads flew into the air and crashed down like meteors onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    The entire area around Bloodstone Pass seemed to tremble for a moment. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros swung its arm wildly, smashing the Ghost Vine Flowers on the other end of the vine into the ground repeatedly, creating deep pits in the earth.


    "Stop it!" Silver Lucas shouted angrily when he saw this.


    Just as the Blood Demon General was about to rush down and slay the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros with his sharp cross blade, an ice blue shadow suddenly blocked his path. The magnificent ice wings clashed rapidly with the blood red cross blade.


    The Ice Control Irenix, enhanced by the Ice soul cold Flower, was able to engage in close combat with the Blood Demon General for a short time.


    "Since Master Silver has asked you to stop, let''s give him some face," Blaze Regret said nonchalantly, patting the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros on the back with a smile.


    With one last powerful swing, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros dragged the Ghost Vine Flowers over and stacked them up, then stomped on them without hesitation.


    This domineering display made many present sweat nervously. It was the first time the spirit beasts of the Blood Seal Gate''s elders had been treated in such a manner.


    Seeing the battering below cease, the Blood Demon General let out a sinister snort and returned to Silver Lucas''s side. In the rapid exchange of blows earlier, he hadn''t gained any advantage; the Ice Control Irenix''s wings were equally sharp.


    "Heh, what a coward, only daring to bully the weak. When faced with the powerful Blood Seal Gate, he doesn''t even have the courage to strike," Stun Qistin sneered coldly, his voice dripping with disdain.


    "No!"


    Upon hearing this, Silver Lin reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting in terror. The elders of the Blood Seal Gate shared his reaction, their faces showing deep fear.


    The elders'' uncharacteristic behavior puzzled Silver Lucas, causing him to frown in confusion. But then his expression changed drastically.


    Holding several long vines, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros lifted its head and glanced at Stun Qistin. Its indifferent gaze lingered on the elders for a few seconds before it raised its massive foot. With a burst of violent force and a low sonic boom, it stomped through the flower heads of the four Ghost Vine Flowers.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s domineering stomp crushed several Ghost Vine Flowers, their scarlet blood flowing across the ground, strikingly vivid. Witnessing this scene, everyone held their breath, especially Silver Lin and his group, whose faces turned to grief and anger as they uncontrollably spat out mouthfuls of hot blood.


    Indifferently withdrawing its foot, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros delivered a swift kick, sending four Ghost Vine Flowers flying, their bodies shattering into pieces mid air.


    "This isn''t my fault," Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly at the people on the high wall. The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros acted on its own, not under his command. Known for its extremely irritable temper, it had once chased Blaze Regret for miles over a few Lava Fruits.


    For this reason, when Stun Qistin''s mocking voice rang out, Silver Lin and the others didn''t hesitate to hurriedly try to stop it, but it was too late.


    Seeing the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomp four Ghost Vine Flowers to death, Stun Qistin''s face turned as white as a sheet, trembling uncontrollably like a leaf in the wind.


    "That mouth really is filthy."


    Many people''s minds echoed the same sentiment. They''ve seen shameless people before, but never to this extent.


    "It''s not my fault, it''s all him!" Stun Qistin quickly pointed at Blaze Regret, trying to redirect the blame.


    "Get lost!"


    With a sinister expression, Silver Ray flashed in front of the terrified Stun Qistin. With his only remaining hand, he delivered a fierce slap across her face.


    "Slap!"


    The force made everyone flinch, and they watched as Stun Qistin''s body fell from the high wall.


    Cracks spread beneath her as Stun Qistin lay on the ground, her hair disheveled and her mind buzzing. Her pale face was blank and dazed.


    Looking at his slightly swollen palm, Silver Ray spat in disdain. Given his lower strength, if it had been Silver Lin and the others, Stun Qistin''s head might have exploded entirely.

 Chapter 303 - 303 Finally open

    "You''ve gone too far," Silver Lucas glared coldly at Blaze Regret, his voice icy.


    "Master Silver, are you thinking of making a move?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly, as the three spirit beasts beside him stepped forward. If the Ice Control Irenix could hold off the Blood Demon General for even a moment, Blaze Regret felt confident he could erase Silver Lucas from existence.


    "I''m not afraid of you!" Silver Lucas, clearly at his limit, was filled with rage.


    Just as the Blood Demon General raised its cross blade, a loud explosion echoed from the direction of the Black Abyss. A vast expanse of black mist rose upward, revealing a bizarre fracture below it.


    Seeing this scene, Silver Lucas''s expression shifted slightly. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. "I have urgent matters to attend to. When I return, I''ll hang your corpse on the high wall!"


    With Silver Lucas''s words, the elders on the high wall exchanged glances. One by one, they quickly sketched blood red spirit portals in the air, from which emerged Ghost Vine Flowers!


    In an instant, a large number of Ghost Vine Flowers descended from the high wall, carrying the elders of the Blood Seal Gate toward the Black Abyss, creating a visually striking scene.


    "Something''s not right," Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. These Ghost Vine Flowers, though not as strong as before, still possessed at least a mid tier sixth level Impreial rank.


    Typically, spirit masters focus on cultivating a single spirit beast. For example, Stun Zen, even after his Bone Armor Rhino died, didn''t summon a second spirit beast because he knew that even all his remaining beasts couldn''t withstand a single punch from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    While some do cultivate multiple spirit beasts simultaneously, it was indeed peculiar that all the elders of the Blood Seal gate had done so. Plus, all their spirit beasts were identical!


    "Brother Blaze!"


    Standing on the high wall, Walker Adam looked at Blaze Regret in a daze, feeling a bit puzzled. Then, to his horror, he saw Blaze Regret following the members of the Blood Seal gate towards the Black Abyss!


    "Could it be that his target all along was the Black Abyss?" Walker Sin''s eyelids twitched slightly. As a member of the older generation at Bloodstone Pass, he was well aware of how dangerous the Black Abyss was. Entering it meant almost certain death!


    His lips moved slightly, and Walker Adam shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his forehead, and with a burst of red light, a painful gasp escaped his lips.


    ...


    The black mist hung over the Black Abyss like a cloud cover. Any unfortunate spirit beasts that entered were instantly dissolved, leaving not even a trace behind.


    Surrounding the Black Abyss was a dense forest. From the high wall, it appeared as a thin line, but once inside, one could see how vast it truly was.


    As Blaze Regret walked into the forest, his vision dimmed slightly, and he remained vigilant. Yet, as he emerged from the trees, the anticipated spirit beast attack never occurred.


    What he didn''t see was a piece of eerie white bone rapidly dissolving where he had just passed, with wisps of black mist lingering around it.


    Patting the Ember Flame on his shoulder, Blaze Regret stood atop a massive rock. Before him lay a steep cliff, with lush green forests growing below, quite beautiful in appearance.


    However, Blaze Regret had no appreciation for this beauty, as below lay the Black Abyss, known as the land of death! After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret picked up a stone and lightly tossed it down.


    To his horror, the stone had barely fallen a short distance when the once calm space suddenly erupted with a wisp of black gas, which corroded the strangely shaped stone completely!


    Swallowing hard, cold sweat broke out on Blaze Regret''s forehead. He was relieved he hadn''t acted rashly, or he might have met an unknown death. The Black Abyss was truly too bizarre!


    "Chirp chirp!"


    As Blaze Regret hesitated, an Frostwing Bat suddenly shot out from a nearby rock, circling in the sky before darting off into the distance, as if the massive rock didn''t exist at all. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This rock..."


    Having learned from his previous experience, Blaze Regret was noticeably more cautious this time. From a distance, he threw down a branch, and to his delight, it fell straight through with a crisp sound. This indicated that the rock was indeed an illusion and that there was a landing point below!


    After a moment''s hesitation, Blaze Regret steeled himself, tied a rope around his waist, and gently jumped down. His figure instantly disappeared into the massive rock!


    "Thunk!"


    Landing steadily on a protruding rock, Blaze Regret looked up and couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. From his current vantage point, he could see a thin layer of black mist floating not far above him, with the only gap directly overhead!


    "If someone with less sense were to come here, they''d likely meet their end," he thought with a wry smile. Yet, his eyes soon gleamed with excitement. He had finally entered the Black Abyss and was one step closer to the legendary wood elemental mystic beast!


    Standing on the rock, Blaze Regret scanned the surroundings. Below was still a steep cliff, filled with a dense blackness. The stones were black, the trees were black, and even the patches of water were as dark as ink. In short, this was a world of black.


    Only a few unusual colors stubbornly adorned this monotonous abyss.


    "Crash!"


    With a slight movement of his foot, a few small stones slipped from under Blaze Regret, falling and shattering into countless pieces before even hitting the ground.


    "Strange, the gravity here seems different from outside."


    After taking a few steps down, Blaze Regret''s brow furrowed as he realized that moving here required more than double the effort it did outside. Additionally, it seemed his internal spiritual power was quietly dissipating.

 Chapter 304 - 304 Danger Everywhere

    "Luckily, I brought enough rejuvenation pills."


    Grabbing a protruding rock, Blaze Regret retrieved two round pills from his void realms stone, placing them into his and Red''s mouths. His fear of the Black Abyss deepened.


    In such an unknown place, maintaining a constant sense of fear increases the chances of survival.


    "Crack!"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s foot halted in mid air. He vaguely heard a sound just now. Though it was extremely faint, he clearly caught it.


    It seemed as if something was tearing through the rock...


    "Whoosh!"


    As Blaze Regret''s nerves tensed, the rock he was holding suddenly shattered, and a slender vine shot out, leaving a long bloody scratch on his palm.


    Quickly retracting his hand, Blaze Regret was secretly shocked. Even the attack of a seventh tier Imperial grade spirit beast couldn''t leave a mark on his hand. Whatever this was, it seemed far from ordinary.


    The vine that had slashed Blaze Regret''s hand traced a bizarre arc in the air, darting toward his eyes with lightning speed. Blaze Regret could only stomp his foot and fall off the cliff to evade it.


    "Whoosh!"


    Magnificent ice wings appeared behind him as the Ice Control Irenix caught him in a swift maneuver. Meanwhile, Red clung tightly to Blaze Regret''s robe with its claws, fearing they might fall.


    Lying on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret''s serious gaze fell back to the cliff. Countless slender vines extended from the rock face, spreading hundreds of meters like climbing plants.


    At the end of each vine was a small black orb, which split open to reveal black eyeballs! S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret felt a slight chill run down his spine. It took him a moment to recall the name of this spirit beast in his mind.


    Devil Vine, a mid level lord grade spirit beast with wood attributes.


    The most notable feature of this spirit beast was its massive size. A juvenile Devil Vine could cover hundreds of meters of a cliff wall, while a fully matured one could reach thousands of meters!


    Realizing that a moment''s delay could have led to his death from the Devil Vine''s entrapment, Blaze Regret''s heart raced.


    "Shhh!"


    The vines on the cliff wall suddenly broke free from their constraints, surging toward Blaze Regret on the Ice Control Irenix. Each black eyeball was filled with intense killing intent.


    With a fierce flap of its wings, the Ice Control Irenix rapidly retreated. Tens of thousands of slender vines converged into a thick mass in front of it, like dense seaweed in the ocean, creating a striking and formidable sight from afar.


    The black eyeball hovered in front of Blaze Regret, less than an inch away from his chest. Any closer, and it could have easily penetrated his body.


    Swallowing quietly, Blaze Regret summoned an ice blade in his hand without hesitation and swiftly sliced through the vine.


    Even after the Ice Control Irenix flew a considerable distance away, the Devil Vine remained frozen in its previous posture, as if petrified.


    Witnessing this, Blaze Regret was drenched in sweat. He realized that the Devil Vine''s roots were nearly detaching from the cliff wall. Had the vines been just a bit longer, he might have already become a lifeless corpse!


    "That was close; my life almost ended."


    Breathing a long sigh of relief, Blaze Regret''s limbs were still cold. No wonder the people at Blood Stone Pass dreaded the Black Abyss so much. He hadn''t even reached the bottom and had already encountered two deadly dangers!


    The howling cold wind whistled past his ears, and Blaze Regret knew he could no longer afford any complacency. He had to remain utterly vigilant, or he might not even know how he met his end!


    "Whoosh!"


    Just as they were about to land, the Ice Control Irenix tilted its form, allowing Blaze Regret to quickly leap down. He cautiously surveyed the surroundings, only relaxing once he confirmed there were no threats.


    "The Black Abyss isn''t very large overall. A few rounds should reveal the location of the wood elemental mystical beasts."


    With these thoughts, Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted to the leftmost peak. He decided to start his search there, hoping he wouldn''t encounter anyone from the Blood Seal Gate before that.


    As he carefully walked on the pitch black ground, Blaze Regret scanned the area. The entire Black Abyss was littered with rubble and strangely growing trees. Scattered white skeletal remains lay about, with no one knowing what events had transpired there.


    Fifteen minutes later, Blaze Regret stood before the mountain peak, his gaze slowly scanning the mountain face until it suddenly stopped at a section obscured by a horizontal log. Behind the log, there seemed to be a hollow space.


    Such places were almost everywhere, but Blaze Regret''s eyes were fixed on the hollow behind the log. After a moment, a chilling sensation suddenly shot up his spine. If there was something behind there, he was already surrounded!


    As if to confirm his suspicion, a log gently shifted, revealing a pair of menacing deep yellow eyes behind it. All the logs were pushed to the ground with a series of thuds!


    "Hiss!"


    A blackish Red snake, with a crimson forked tongue, slithered out from the cave behind the logs. Following it, a swarm of snakes emerged from all directions, their cold eyes fixed intently on Blaze Regret.


    "Red Venomous Snakes..."


    Blaze Regret''s mouth felt dry, and his face turned a bit pale. This type of spirit beast was rarely seen in the outside world, even labeled as rare, yet here they were in such great numbers.


    Red Venomous Snake, initially ranked as high level Imperial grade, with a poisonous attribute.


    Blaze Regret wasn''t intimidated by the high level Imperial Grade Red Venomous Snakes, but his gaze was fixed on two Red Venomous Snakes atop the cliff. They both possessed the strength of a third tier mid level lord grade!


    While Blaze Regret''s nerves were taut, he failed to notice that the seed inside his clothing seemed to quiver slightly, emitting a faint, sweet fragrance.

 Chapter 305 - 305 Finally meet

    The rustling sound echoed on both sides of the mountain peak. In just a moment, the stone walls surrounding Blaze Regret were covered with densely packed Red Venomous snakes. Their cold, triangular pupils stared chillingly at Blaze Regret below, and the hair raising hissing sound reverberated through the area as they flicked their tongues.


    With a cold gleam in its eyes, Red leapt lightly and landed swiftly on the ground. The pale yellow scorching sun blaze flame suddenly rose from its claws, causing a flash of dread in the eyes of the Red Venomous snakes.


    As Red''s flames flickered, the two Red Venomous snakes at the top twisted disdainfully. Instantly, the Red Venomous snakes below seemed to receive some command and shot out rapidly, filling the air with a pungent stench.


    With a swift move on the ground, Red''s body spun rapidly, forming a scorching sun blaze flame whirlwind around it, shredding the diving Red Venomous snakes into a mist of blood.


    Meanwhile, the Ice Control Irenix with its wings spread wide, remained protectively around Blaze Regret. Its razor sharp icy wings slashed out like lightning, slicing the Red Venomous snakes in half, causing them to fall to the ground with a thud.


    Gazing at the venomous rain of Red Venomous snakes, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel his scalp tingle, also feeling secretly annoyed. Despite his cautiousness, he had still fallen into the trap of the Red Venomous snakes.


    The yellow brown triangular pupils gleamed with excitement as the two lord grade Red Venomous snakes watched the scene below with relish. In their minds, Blaze Regret and his spirit beasts like the Ice Control Irenix were merely struggling desperately. Watching their terrified expressions before death was an intriguing pastime.


    One must admit, some spirit beasts exhibit more perverse tastes than humans.


    Just as the two Red Venomous snakes watched with interest, a purple red circle of light suddenly spread out from Blaze Regret''s body. The densely packed Red Venomous snakes shattered upon contact with the light, turning into a thick poisonous gas that surged towards the inside of Blaze Regret''s clothing.


    Startled, Blaze Regret didn''t have time to react before a massive seed shot out from his clothing with a swish, hovering above his head. The purple red beam of light radiated swiftly in all directions with the massive seed at its center.


    "Boom!"


    Any Red Venomous snake enveloped by the beam of light transformed into dense poisonous gas, leaving not a trace of blood or flesh, all absorbed into the seed. In no time, the once surging Red Venomous snakes vanished completely from the scene.


    Seeing this, the two lord grade Red Venomous snakes were filled with intense fear. Without a second thought, they turned and fled toward the depths of the cave, sensing a deadly threat from the peculiar seed.


    As the figures of the two Red venomous snakes disappeared from sight, Red and the Ice Control Irenix quickly retreated, cautiously eyeing the seed suspended in mid air. Behind them, Blaze Regret squinted slightly.


    From the moment he first saw the seed, he had a vague sense that there was some form of life within it. Now it seemed his intuition was correct.


    Absorbing the emerald green poison gas, the massive seed shook itself with lingering desire and then suddenly darted out, transforming into a purple red stream of light that shot directly into the cave.


    Moments later, purple red light erupted from the cave, accompanied by the piercing screams of the two Red Venomous snakes. Within a few short breaths, the noise ceased entirely, and the seed flew back out.


    The pale red sheen on the seed''s surface cast Blaze Regret''s delicate face in the same color.


    Inside the seed, a small silhouette seemed to be gently pulsing. Though it was very blurry, it was clear that the silhouette''s head was more than twice the size of its body. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    After flickering for a while, the large seed returned to its calm state, as if it hadn''t just slain thousands of Red Venomous snakes in an instant.


    After a moment of hesitation, Blaze Regret gritted his teeth, reached out, and tucked the seed back into his clothing.


    Whatever it might be, since he had already obtained it, there was no reason to let it go. If it hatched into a dangerous creature, he could simply discard it, but if it turned out to be a rare spirit beast, he would have hit the jackpot.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Blaze Regret''s gaze focused on a stone in the distance, where an emerald green leaf was embedded in a crack. It looked identical to the one he had seen before.


    "It''s really here!"


    Picking up the leaf and examining it closely, Blaze Regret''s face lit up with delight. The leaf''s veins were exquisitely detailed, and its aura was incredibly fresh!


    With excitement, Blaze Regret quickly made his way to the other side of the mountain peak. His heart was pounding, not because he lacked composure, but even a Spirit King expert would feel the same at this moment!


    However, what Blaze Regret didn''t know was that just as he disappeared from the scene, an emerald green figure timidly peeked out from behind a stone, cautiously looking around. It appeared quite adorable.


    Its face, especially, was as endearing as that of a delicate little girl, with big, dark eyes blinking gently before it quickly retreated behind the stone.


    In its arms were three golden fruits, exuding an incredibly sweet fragrance. If Blaze Regret saw this, he would surely be driven mad. These were the Golden Dragon Fruits he had accidentally purchased at Bloodstone Pass!


    This kind of spiritual herb was rarer than some fourth tier herbs, and its shell was extremely hard. Even powerful lord grade spirit beasts might find it difficult to crush them.


    The little green beast gently licked its lips, picked up a Golden Dragon Fruit, and took a bite. A crisp sound echoed behind the stone, and golden liquid trickled down its mouth. But as soon as a drop escaped, it eagerly licked it back up.

 Chapter 306 - 306 i Will Kill you

    Such a delicious spiritual herb was extremely rare in the desolate Black Nether Abyss.


    Especially for a spirit beast with a voracious appetite like this one.


    A black giant wolf, attracted by the alluring scent, couldn''t help but approach. Its cold, dark eyes emitted a chilling sensation that could make one''s entire body go weak.


    This was a mid tier, third level lord grade Black Moon Wolf, considered a dominant force in this area.


    However, just as the wolf was less than a yard away from the stone, a verdant leaf suddenly shot out, effortlessly slicing through its throat amidst its terrified gaze.


    "Snap!"


    The little beast caught the returning leaf with its small hand without even glancing at it, and continued munching on the Golden Dragon Fruit, its adorable face filled with satisfaction.


    As he circled around the towering peaks, a vast swamp unexpectedly appeared before Blaze Regret, with black toxic bubbles rising from it. When they burst, they released a foul, pungent odor.


    A massive log lay across the swamp, and faint fresh footprints could be seen on it.


    "Could it be that the Blood Seal Gate just passed through here?"


    The unique stench of decay from the swamp wafted into his nostrils, causing Blaze Regret''s brow to furrow slightly. Upon entering the Black Abyss, he noticed that the direction he took was obviously different from that of the Blood Seal Gate members, but it wasn''t impossible for them to have an encounter.


    The Black Abyss appeared vast, but it was actually much smaller than one would imagine.


    Gently testing the ground with his foot, Blaze Regret noticed that the log sank only slightly, and he felt assured enough to walk across. With his strength as a seventh tier Spirit Imperial Master, he didn''t have to worry about the danger of falling into the swamp.


    "Hehe, since you caused this young master to lose an arm, you shall repay it with your life."


    On one of the densely packed peaks, a young man with a sinister expression looked down at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with malice. In his hand, he held a packet of deep red powder.


    This powder, known as Gluttonous Powder, would provoke a frenzy of attacks from any spirit beasts or spirit masters that came into contact with it, driving them to consume the flesh and blood of their victims until nothing remained.


    "Go!"


    Silver Van flicked his hand, and the powder was swept across the entire swamp by the cold wind, quickly enveloping it. In an instant, a strange fragrance permeated the air above the swamp.


    As the deep red powder settled on his face, Blaze Regret wiped it with his finger, looking curiously at the substance on his fingertip. Moments later, his expression changed dramatically.


    "Run!"


    A flash of blue light appeared as the Ice control Irenix manifested, swiftly taking Blaze Regret and soaring into the sky.


    At the very moment the Ice control Irenix had just taken off, countless poison arrows shot out from the swamp, perforating the log where Blaze Regret had been standing just moments before.


    "Roar!"


    Before Blaze Regret could catch his breath, a deep roar suddenly echoed from between the peaks, accompanied by a blazing beam of fiery light, the intense heat causing the surrounding air to evaporate.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a powerful flap of its wings, the Ice control Irenix quickly descended to the ground as the crimson beam of fire grazed past its side, instantly melting an ice crystal that had been circling around it.


    Upon landing, Blaze Regret''s expression grew serious. The deep red powder clinging to him couldn''t be shaken off, and even after changing into a black robe, the strange fragrance continued to linger around him.


    Gluttonous Powder, in contrast to the Anorexia Powder, was derived from the Gluttonous Flower, a spirit beast of intermediate lord level. To completely rid himself of this scent, he would need to wash it away with a substantial amount of spiritual energy.


    "If it weren''t for my father sending me here to survey the terrain, I wouldn''t have discovered this surprise," Silver Van sneered repeatedly, as if he could already envision Blaze Regret being torn apart by several spirit beasts.


    "Roar!"


    The earlier roar echoed again as a fiery red figure suddenly plummeted from the sky, greedily fixated on Blaze Regret. It resembled a fire ape, with a protrusion on its back that looked like a volcanic crater. The impressive fiery beam had come from this very creature.


    The Molten Fire Ape, an intermediate lord grade spirit beast, fire attribute.


    "Fortunately, it''s only second tier." Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing the strength of this spirit beast, Blaze Regret let out a slight sigh of relief. Though the Molten Fire Ape''s attributes countered the Ice control Irenix, the latter was still one tier higher. Even if it couldn''t win, it could at least manage a draw.


    However, shortly after the Molten Fire Ape descended, two more figures charged in from the distance, flanking Blaze Regret in a pincer formation, their eyes also gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.


    The sudden appearance of these two spirit beasts caused Blaze Regret''s heart to sink slightly; both possessed the strength of lord level!


    Standing on Blaze Regret''s left was a low tier first grade Ghost Vault Leopard, dark attribute.


    Blocking Blaze Regret''s right side was a spirit beast of equal strength to the Ghost Vault Leopard, and it was unmistakably a rock attribute spirit beast, the Giant Rock Monster!


    Although these two spirit beasts ranked at the bottom of the lord level, they still belonged to that tier, and each had the power to breach half of the Bloodstone Pass.


    "Do you like this grand gift of mine?"


    Standing atop the peak, Silver Van looked at Blaze Regret with a smile that was particularly mocking.


    Raising his face, Blaze Regret''s cold gaze fell upon Silver Van, and a barely audible voice escaped his lips.


    "I will slaughter you."


    As Silver Van watched Blaze Regret''s lips move, he inexplicably shivered, but soon after, his face was filled with thick scorn.

 Chapter 307 - 307 Cought You

    Kill me?


    That requires being alive first!


    A silver white spirit array was drawn before Blaze Regret as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous stepped forward, coldly staring at the Giant Rock Monster. A faint dragon seal materialized before its fist.


    Under the gaze of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, a flash of anger crossed the Giant Rock Monster''s eyes. Its massive fist suddenly struck out, creating a howling wind.


    "Bang!"


    The powerful spiritual energy erupted, and the two spirit beasts, nearly the same size, collided fiercely, sending moist soil splattering in all directions.


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret felt no tension. This low tier lord grade Giant Rock Monster was significantly weaker than the Frostwing Bat King. With the strength of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous, it would eventually be blasted apart.


    "Whoosh!"


    A black shadow suddenly darted in, its sharp claws aiming directly for Blaze Regret''s throat. The only spirit beast in the arena capable of such incredible speed was undoubtedly the Ghost Vault Leopard.


    "Clang!"


    The Ice control Irenix moved swiftly, its sharp ice wings extending outwards to slice through the air in a pale blue arc, directly sending the Ghost Vault Leopard flying while leaving a thin line of blood in its wake.


    It was evident that before the Ice control Irenix, the Ghost Vault Leopard was destined to be instantly killed. In terms of both rank and tier, there was a significant gap between the two.


    At the moment the Ghost Vault Leopard was sent flying, deep red flames erupted from the Molten Fire Ape''s fist, carrying a fierce force as it slammed heavily into the Ice control Irenix.


    "Bang!"


    With its wings crossed in front of it, the Ice control Irenix quickly retreated, a patch of charred black marks appearing on its ice wings. The attribute counter proved to be quite a disadvantage.


    "Hehe, in this situation, you still dare to threaten me? You really overestimate yourself." Silver Van cast a contemptuous glance at Blaze Regret, having completely forgotten the incident where he was forced to self destruct his arm by the latter.


    "I must say, you had a good plan," Blaze Regret murmured softly, a chilling light flashing in his eyes. "But unfortunately, you''ve ultimately forgotten one thing: wild spirit beasts without a spirit master cannot synchronize their spiritual energy."


    With a powerful punch, the Molten Fire Ape forced back the Ice Control Irenix. Excitement gleamed in its eyes as it took a step forward, launching another punch with the speed and force of a whirlwind. Each swing of its fist was accompanied by searing spiritual energy, transforming into deep crimson energy orbs that filled the sky, overwhelming the Ice Control Irenix.


    Despite the dense barrage from the Molten Fire Ape, the Ice Control Irenix remained calm. Its wings flapped, and a flawless ice lotus quickly bloomed in front of it, emanating a chilling aura.


    In an instant, the energy orbs collided with the ice lotus, creating a shockwave of spiritual energy. The orbs that missed their target struck the ground, leaving sizable craters.


    The shimmering ice lotus slowly rotated in front of the Ice Control Irenix. Aside from some scorched spots, it remained pristine and translucent. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Roar!"


    A furious roar erupted from the Molten Fire Ape as it slammed its fists into the ground. A section of its volcanic back thrust forward, rapidly gathering crimson energy.


    "Whoosh!"


    In a brief moment, the crimson flame energy transformed into a massive beam of light, spanning several dozen meters. As it shot forward, faint red ripples swiftly spread along its path.


    Faced with the oncoming beam, the Ice Control Irenix countered with an icy beam from the ice lotus. In an instant, the two beams collided with immense force.


    "Boom!"


    The collision unleashed an astonishing wave of spiritual energy, creating a storm of contrasting colors across the battlefield.


    Calmly observing the evenly matched beams, the Ice Control Irenix made a slight move. With a crack, the rotating ice lotus shattered, blending its light blue energy into the icy beam.


    In that moment, the previously stalemated icy beam pierced through the crimson beam, striking the Molten Fire Ape''s chest. A terrifying blood hole appeared in its chest.


    Dumbfounded, the Molten Fire Ape looked down at the blood gushing from its chest. Its body stiffened for a moment before it crashed to the ground with a thud, and the volcanic crater on its back became dull and lifeless.


    "Useless!"


    Standing atop the peak, Silver Van''s face was particularly gloomy. The powder of the Gluttonous Flower was quite expensive, and his father had paid a great price to purchase it from the central empire. Such a rare powder was not available in the small Bloodstone Pass.


    His expression grew even colder as he watched the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, with its iron fist glowing silver, smash the Giant Rock Monster to pieces. The scattered stones seemed to hit him in the face.


    "Just you wait!"


    Leaving these harsh words behind, Silver Van turned around with a frosty expression, only to find his body suddenly stiffen because the furry Red Flame was tilting its head, looking at him.


    "Young Master Silver, didn''t expect this day to come, did you?"


    On the ground, Blaze Regret held a sharp ice blade, smiling at the gritting Silver Van while Red Flame squatted beside him with a smug look.


    At this moment, Silver Van appeared extremely disheveled, his head pressed tightly against the ground, and above it was Blaze Regret''s foot.


    "What''s the matter, cat got your tongue?" Blaze Regret tapped Silver Van''s face with the ice blade, smiling.


    "Heh, so what if you''ve caught me? My father''s Blood Demon General is no longer something your Ice Control Irenix can compare to. When we meet again, you''ll definitely die a miserable death," Silver Van said with a grim smile, looking at m Blaze Regret from an extremely uncomfortable position.


    "Oh, really?" Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, though a sense of gravity surfaced in his heart.

 Chapter 308 - 308 Secret

    According to the history of Bloodstone Pass, three years ago, the Blood Seal Gate was just a minor power. However, after Silver Lucas and others ventured into the Black Nether Abyss, they suddenly gained the strength to rival the major families.


    Their rise to power was swift, especially Silver Lucas, who quickly established himself as the foremost power in Bloodstone Pass from an unknown figure.


    All of this was likely closely related to the Black Nether Abyss.


    "So, Young Master Silver, would you mind sharing the secrets of this place with me?" Blaze Regret lightly traced the ice blade across Silver Van''s neck, the cold touch sending a shiver down Silver Van''s spine.


    "You want to know? Beg me on your knees," Silver Van laughed heartily, showing no trace of fear. Instead, his eyes were filled with mocking disdain as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    "Very well, I admire people with backbone."


    Blaze Regret smirked, gently clasping his hand as the sharp ice blade shattered, a sudden move that made Silver Van''s heart skip a beat.


    "Here, a little toy for you."


    With a soft chuckle, Blaze Regret retrieved a rope from the void realms stone, tying one end to the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s arm and the other securely around Silver Van''s waist.


    "What are you doing!" Silver Van''s heart raced as he shouted angrily.


    Taking a few steps forward, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros glanced coldly at Silver Van, who was being dragged by the rope. It then raised its arm and began spinning rapidly. Instantly, Silver Van, at the end of the rope, became a series of afterimages revolving around the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    The world in Silver Van''s eyes turned extremely blurry, and the high speed spinning induced a nauseating feeling and an overwhelming dizziness.


    "I will kill you!"


    Silver Van shouted threateningly, but his voice came out jumbled and chaotic.


    "I''ve never tasted ape paws before; they should be good."


    Blaze Regret cheerfully held the ice blade, slicing off the Molten Fire Ape''s two paws. These were a delicacy, having been served once at a tavern in Velorian City, though at an exorbitant price.


    The crackling flames danced gently on the firewood as Blaze Regret set up a rack, threading the two ape paws on it to roast over the fire.


    Before long, the two ape paws became crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Shimmering droplets of oil dripped from the paws onto the burning firewood, releasing a tantalizing white smoke and an irresistible aroma.


    Blaze Regret gently rotated the stick, and suddenly, he noticed a bite mark on one of the ape paws. After a moment of surprise, he looked at Red with disdain and asked, "Did you bite it?"


    In response, Red shook its head vigorously, putting on an innocent expression, though a droplet of saliva trailed from the corner of its mouth.


    "Doing it but not admitting it," Blaze Regret scoffed even more, not realizing that the bite mark was much smaller than Red''s.


    "I''ll talk, I''ll tell you everything, just get me down from here!"


    Silver Van''s desperate voice rang out, and Blaze Regret raised an eyebrow, thinking he was tougher than he seemed, only to find he wasn''t much after all.


    Behind a distant black tree, a little green beast bared its teeth and fanned its mouth, as tendrils of hot white smoke rose from its mouth.


    Holding a sturdy rope in his hand, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros dragged Silver Van over as if pulling a dead dog. After being knocked against a stone, Silver Van''s face turned pale, and a large amount of filth spewed violently from his mouth.


    "Do you have any decency at all?"


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret nearly dropped the ape paw he was holding, his appetite instantly ruined.


    "This is the map of the Black Nether Abyss," Silver Van gasped for a moment, pulling out a scroll from his clothes without even glancing at it, and hastily tossed it to Blaze Regret. He did not wish to endure the torment a second time.


    Rolling his eyes helplessly, Blaze Regret handed one of the ape paws to the rock horn dragon rhinoceros and passed the other directly to Red. Although he was usually quite nonchalant, it was difficult to savor delicacies under such circumstances.


    Red looked at the bite marks on the ape paw with disdain, while the rock horn dragon rhinoceros, after a moment of thought, gave his ape paw to Red and then picked up the heavy fire ape, placing the entire thing on the fire.


    "Wow!"


    Unfolding the scroll, a detailed map came into view. Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over it slowly, his brows gradually knitting together.


    "This map should be correct, but what are these large red markings?" Blaze Regret murmured softly, his voice tinged with confusion.


    Glancing at the deeply pondering Blaze Regret, Silver Van lowered his head, a sinister glint flashing quickly in his eyes.


    "Whoosh!"


    Raising his head again, Silver Van''s face was filled with a fierce determination. A sharp blood spike suddenly shot out from his mouth with a chilling whoosh, aimed violently at Blaze Regret.


    "Fool." Silver Van smirked mockingly as he saw Blaze Regret still engrossed in the map.


    However, in the next moment, his smile froze on his face.


    Blaze Regret slightly tilted his head, and the blood scented spike narrowly missed his ear. Behind him, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros casually reached back with a hand and crushed the spike into dust.


    When his attack failed, panic filled Silver Van''s heart, and he involuntarily began retreating.


    "You''ve been naughty." S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Rolling the map back into a scroll, Blaze Regret''s face showed a gentle smile. Yet, to Silver Van, that smile looked as terrifying as a grinning demon.


    "This stuff must be the Gluttonous Powder, right?"


    Bending slightly, Blaze Regret rummaged through Silver Van''s clothes and found three small transparent bottles in his hand, each filled with deep red powder.

 Chapter 309 - 309 Mandible ants

    "To be honest, I never intended to let you go, but your actions just now have solidified my resolve to get rid of you." Blaze Regret chuckled, then opened one of the bottles and sprinkled all the deep red powder onto Silver Van.


    "No!"


    Smelling the strange fragrance, Silver Van''s hair stood on end, his face full of terror. He knew all too well the horrific consequences of the Gluttonous Flower''s powder.


    "Let''s go." Blaze Regret stood up, waved a hand to the others, and leisurely headed toward the marked location on the map.


    Abandoning the fire ape, the rock horn dragon rhinoceros followed Blaze Regret with heavy steps. Red looked at the ape paw with bite marks, hesitated for a moment, and then tossed it high into the air.


    As Blaze Regret and the others departed, several small leaves began to spin in the clearing. A small emerald green creature joyfully emerged from between the leaves, grabbed the falling ape paw, and disappeared from the scene in a flash.


    With his face pressed against the ground, Silver Van stared blankly at this scene, his cries having stopped at some point. Just now, he seemed to have witnessed something extraordinary.


    "Hiss!"


    Suddenly, a rustling sound came from beneath the ground. The soil shifted, and a black ant quickly crawled out, extending two sharp fangs from its mouth.


    Following this ant, countless black figures emerged from the soil, their gazes on Silver Van filled with a greedy glint, as though they had discovered the most delicious food.


    "Mandible ants, it''s mandible ants!" sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Seeing the swarm of black ants rushing towards him, Silver Van curled up into a ball, trembling like a leaf, his shrill screams echoing through the sky. But soon, his voice abruptly stopped as the mass of mandible ants swarmed into his mouth.


    ...


    The dark mountain range loomed, layer upon layer, appearing like the undulating waves of the sea from the foothills below.


    Beyond this mountain range lay the blood red area recorded on Silver Van''s map.


    "The secret of the Blood Seal Gate is probably hidden behind this."


    Muttering to himself as he gazed at the mountain range, Blaze Regret twisted his hand, conjuring two spirit portals out of thin air, which absorbed the rock horn dragon rhinoceros and the Ice Control Irenix. After a slight whimper, Red quickly transformed into a beguiling state, becoming a miniature Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat perched on his shoulder.


    This mountain range was quite steep, and it took Blaze Regret a full hour to climb to the top.


    "If I had ridden on the Ice Control Irenix, I could have reached here in no time."


    Leaning against a large boulder, Blaze Regret panted lightly, though he understood that the Ice Control Irenix, being a spirit beast, would be an easy target in the sky, risking attacks from other spirit beasts and revealing their location.


    Turning to look below, Blaze Regret''s body suddenly froze.


    Beyond the mountain range lay a massive blood colored lake. The overwhelming scent of blood rose from it, tinting the backside of the mountain range with a faint red hue.


    Within the amber light, an enormous vine stretched across the lake, surrounded by buds that pulsed gently, resembling beating hearts.


    As Blaze Regret gazed at a bud on the verge of fully blooming, he felt a slight tremor in his heart. Inside the bud was unmistakably a Ghost Vine Flower of the seventh tier, low level Imperial Grade!


    "So, it''s the mother plant of the Ghost Vine Flower. No wonder the elders of the Blood Seal Gate possess so many bloodline spirit beasts," Blaze Regret realized, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    A blood red flash streaked through the air, revealing the form of a Blood Fiend hovering above. In its hand, it held a hefty black ape rhinoceros. With a twist of its cross shaped blade, torrents of fresh blood seeped from the black ape rhinoceros, flowing into the blood colored lake.


    "That''s too brutal."


    Blaze Regret exhaled a cool breath, calming his shaken emotions. Meanwhile, the emerald green creature perched beside him mimicked his gesture, nodding in agreement.


    In the ancient Abyss of Black Shadows, towering peaks pierced the sky. Amidst these peaks lay a massive blood red lake, strikingly conspicuous. Occasionally, roars of beasts echoed from it, but each roar ceased abruptly. Their blood had been entirely drained and poured into the lake, making the already spine chilling red even more intense and viscous.


    "The Blood Seal Gate''s ambition is indeed vast. These elders are likely not genuine bloodline spirit masters."


    Looking down from a high vantage point, Blaze Regret sneered inwardly. No wonder the Blood Seal Gate''s overall strength had improved so rapidly. With this blood lake at their disposal, even if they wanted to slow down, it would be impossible.


    Moreover, in pursuit of temporary power, these elders had unhesitatingly chosen to taint their spiritual portals. This act was utterly foolish, ensuring they''d never reach the level of a Spirit Lord in their lifetime.


    Spirit masters with tainted portals face resistance hundreds of times greater than ordinary spirit masters.


    "Crunch!"


    Just as Blaze Regret''s thoughts were racing, a crisp chewing sound suddenly came from beside him, accompanied by a fresh herbal fragrance wafting through the air.


    Startled, Blaze Regret flipped to his left as if electrocuted, casting a surprised glance beside him.


    The small emerald green beast blinked its black eyes at Blaze Regret''s exaggerated reaction, but its munching didn''t pause for a moment.


    It was gnawing on the Spirit Gathering Fruits from Blaze Regret''s spatial stone. These fruits, which typically required refinement, were being bitten into like ordinary wild fruits by the little beast.


    "Hand them over!"


    Seeing the dozens of Spirit Gathering Fruits in front of the beast, Blaze Regret felt a pang of heartache. These fruits were hard earned and were not available for sale in the shops at Bloodstone Pass.

 Chapter 310 - 310 Ethereal Lotus

    However, just as his hand reached out, it froze in mid air. The small emerald green beast''s image continuously overlapped with a vague figure in his mind, resulting in an extraordinarily complex expression on his face.


    "Chi~"


    The pitch black eyes stared unblinkingly at Blaze Regret, and the voice from the emerald green little beast was particularly drawn out, as if an innocent child were greeting a stranger.


    Blaze Regret''s heart trembled fiercely. By observing it up close, he finally recognized the little beast.


    It was the Ethereal Lotus, ranked twenty ninth in the Mystic Beast Record, a wood attribute mystic beast!


    Looking at the emerald green little beast, Blaze Regret''s heart was like a stormy sea.


    "Don''t move, don''t move."


    He whispered softly, as if coaxing a child, and slowly extended his excited hand. Several dazzling halos appeared between his fingers, and upon close inspection, one would discover that there were precisely four of them.


    Simultaneously, a brilliant magic array unfurled beneath the Ethereal Lotus, connecting to Blaze Regret''s fourth spiritual gate.


    The Ethereal Lotus blinked its large, watery eyes in confusion, its small face filled with bewilderment. In an instant, when it felt the suction force erupting from the magic array, a panicked scream burst from its mouth.


    "Chi!"


    Several tiny leaves flashed from the magic array, and the Ethereal Lotus''s form appeared in the distance. With each leap, it left behind a few verdant leaves, each leaf brimming with vigorous life force.


    "Come back!"


    Disregarding everything else, Blaze Regret called out in a low voice, his hand reaching out repeatedly. However, before he could fully outline the contract spirit array, the Ethereal Lotus had already escaped, leaving incomplete spirit arrays suspended around the mountaintop.


    "Who''s there? Get out here!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to deploy the contract spirit array again, Silver Lucas''s furious roar suddenly echoed. Immediately after, a sharp blood red light sliced through the air in a bizarre arc, slashing fiercely toward him.


    Hearing the sound of the air being sliced beside him, Blaze Regret''s heart tightened. He retreated continuously, as a gleaming cross shaped blade, trailing a long tail of light, effortlessly pierced through the mountain peak and whistled out the other side, only to be caught with a snap by the stern faced Blood Demon General.


    "Old fool, I''ll tear down your Blood Seal Gate!"


    Seeing the Ethereal Lotus disappear from the mountain peak, Blaze Regret''s face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing like fiery jets aimed directly at Silver Lucas.


    If it weren''t for the sudden interference of the Blood Demon General, he would have been just a step away from successfully forming a spirit pact with the Ethereal Lotus! The feeling of a "cooked duck flying away" nearly drove him insane.


    Moreover, that "duck" was coveted by the strongest across the continent!


    "Tear down my Blood Seal Gate? You sure have a big mouth," Silver Lucas sneered, his expression full of disdain.


    "Chi!"


    Just as Silver Lucas''s voice fell, a few emerald green leaves suddenly appeared beside him. The Ethereal Lotus hesitated for a moment and then swiftly snatched the spatial stone from his waist.


    "What is that thing?" Silver Lin and the others were taken aback. Such a beautiful spirit beast was something they had never seen before.


    What they didn''t know was that this wasn''t just any spirit beast but the one and only Ethereal Lotus on the entire continent!


    "This looks so familiar."


    Watching the green little beast play with the Void Realms stone, a hint of doubt crossed Silver Lucas''s eyes, followed by a sudden realization of astonishment: "This little beast looks like the Ethereal Lotus recorded in the Mystic Beast Record!"


    As a Spirit Lord, Silver Lucas was quite knowledgeable about such unique creatures, which is why his expression of excitement was even more exaggerated than Blaze Regret''s earlier.


    This was a mystic beast, the darling of the continent!


    Every mystic beast is not restrained by other attributes and can suppress all attributes. This extraordinary trait allows spirit masters who possess a mystic beast to effortlessly overpower opponents of the same rank.


    This attribute suppression becomes especially evident at the lord level. For instance, a second tier advanced imperial grade fire attribute spirit beast can almost instantly defeat a wood attribute spirit beast of the same rank! This highlights just how sought after mystic beasts are. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Spirit Contract, Form!"


    With intense fervor on his face, Silver Lucas spread his palm, and a contract spirit array about a meter wide appeared beneath the Ethereal Lotus, emitting an even more formidable suction force than Blaze Regret''s.


    Although his attribute is blood, mystic beasts are not subject to inter attribute limitations, so even if he successfully tames it, there''s no concern of tainting the spiritual portal.


    "Did you ask me before trying to form a spirit contract?"


    A young, cold voice echoed across the mountain peak. Suddenly, a light blue stream of light came whistling down rapidly, its broad, razor sharp ice wings slashing diagonally toward Silver Lucas''s head.


    Blaze Regret''s deep and angry shout echoed at the mountain peak. The Ice Control Irenix flapped its wings and darted forward like an arrow, appearing in front of Silver Lucas in a flash. With a sharp, gleaming ice wing, it slashed a fierce arc directly towards Silver Lucas''s face.


    As the Ice Control Irenix swooped down, the Blood Demon General swiftly followed. The cross shaped saber in his hand spun rapidly, transforming into a bloody light wheel that shot fiercely towards the Ice Control Irenix.


    Blood light flashed across its eyes, and the Ice Control Irenix lightly retreated. The sharp cross shaped blade skimmed past its front and plunged into the ground with a clang.


    "Swish!"


    Suspended in mid air, the Blood Demon General clenched his palm, and the cross shaped saber turned into a streak of blood light, bursting from the ground like lightning. Its sharp edge struck the Ice Control Irenix''s body, sending it flying tens of meters away.


    "Tier Three!"

 Chapter 311 - 311 Secret Reveal

    Gazing at the rotating cross shaped saber in the Blood Demon General''s hand, Blaze Regret''s expression became slightly stern. His eyes then swept across the blood colored lake. The massive blood colored vine slowly wriggled, and with each wriggle, the Ghost Vine Flower in the bud grew stronger than before.


    A flash of insight appeared in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and a bold guess suddenly emerged in his mind, which left him particularly shocked.


    If it were true, it would be too terrifying!


    "You guessed right. Any blood type spirit beast that stays in that bud for a while will automatically increase in strength. After today, my Blood Demon General should break through to Tier Five," Silver Lucas said with a sinister smile, looking at Blaze Regret as if he were already a dead man.


    Since Blaze Regret had discovered the Blood Seal Gate''s greatest secret, naturally, he couldn''t be allowed to live.


    "No wonder the Blood Seal Gate''s growth has been so terrifying. It''s all because of that blood colored vine."


    Blaze Regret swallowed secretly. Although the Black Abyss only opened for one day each year, after which the black mist in the sky would automatically descend, as long as that blood colored vine remained, within ten years, Silver Lucas could become a true King grade powerhouse!


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret felt a chill all over. If Silver Lucas continued to grow, then in ten years, not only would Blood Stone Pass, but all the surrounding towns would have to change their surname to Silver!


    A King Grade powerhouse was enough to dominate a region.


    "Screech!"


    Excitedly watching the collision of the two spirit beasts, Ethereal Lotus held Silver Lucas''s void realms stone as if it were a piece of fruit and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, crunching it with satisfaction written all over her adorable cheeks.


    Gazing at the ever shattering void realms stone, Silver Lucas''s face showed no anger. Instead, it was filled with intense desire and ambition. If he could form a spirit contract with this mysterious beast, a future position of power in the Sun Moon Empire would surely be his!


    Licking his lips, Silver Lucas opened his palm again, and as the dazzling contract spirit array began to appear, a fierce gust of wind suddenly whooshed down from above, striking his head heavily.


    "Boom!"


    Without a second thought, Silver Lucas swung his hand in defense. His palm clashed directly with the fist of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous. In the next moment, his body was sent flying backward, crashing hard against a massive rock.


    Although Silver Lucas was a powerful spirit Lord master, his close combat abilities were not much stronger than Blaze Regret''s. Thus, after this blow, his face turned pale, and he spat out a warm mouthful of blood.


    Watching the sudden appearance of the giant creature in front of her, Ethereal Lotus blinked excitedly, stuffing the remaining pieces of the void realms stone into her mouth and leaning forward slightly with a gleeful expression on her face.


    With a fierce glint in his eyes, Silver Lucas was about to order the Blood Seal Gate elders to attack the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros when a cloud of deep red powder suddenly poured down onto him, covering his hair and clothes.


    The powder, emitting a strange fragrance, drifted before his eyes, and Silver Lucas''s expression changed dramatically. He was all too familiar with this powder, as he had previously handed it over to Silver Van.


    "Master Silver, how does it taste?" Standing with his right foot on a rock above, Blaze Regret looked down at Silver Lucas with a smile, shaking his wrist as an empty glass bottle drew an arc through the air and fell into the blood lake, splashing a few droplets of blood.


    "Where did you get that Gluttonous Powder?"


    Although he had some suspicions in his heart, Silver Lucas still clung to a sliver of hope as he shouted murderously at Blaze Regret. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Someone caused trouble on the way, so I dealt with it conveniently. As for the Gluttonous Powder, it''s a trophy," Blaze Regret replied, his smile undiminished.


    "I want you dead!"


    Upon hearing this, Silver Lucas''s eyes nearly burst from their sockets in fury, as he channeled his blood energy into his palm, striking fiercely at Blaze Regret, leaving a trail of arcing blood light in its wake.


    Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly and swiftly dodged to the left, narrowly avoiding Silver Lucas''s blow. After all, Silver Lucas was a lord grade powerhouse, and taking a hit from him would certainly not end well, even for Blaze Regret.


    "Everyone, attack! Get rid of that kid!" Silver Lin''s voice was sinister. Behind him, several Ghost Vine Flowers rose, their blood red tendrils waving and blocking the thin sunlight that trickled from the sky.


    "Master Silver, if you don''t find a place to deal with the Gluttonous Powder soon, you''ll end up being torn apart by spirit beasts," Blaze Regret said, moving swiftly, though his clothes had already started to show signs of damage.


    "Heh, I''ve had my people clear out all the powerful spirit beasts around this blood lake. This blood lake is what they became," Silver Lucas replied with a cold laugh. When he first entered the Black Abyss, the thick blood vines in the lake were nearly withered. It was only after he accidentally killed a few spirit beasts, splattering some blood, that he discovered the usefulness of the blood vines. Since then, the Blood Seal Gate had soared, overshadowing the once thriving Walker family in Blood Stone Pass.


    However, Silver Lucas''s ambitions extended far beyond Blood Stone Pass.


    "Quite ruthless, but today''s events might just disappoint you," Blaze Regret said, stepping half a step to the left as a sharp blood red vine slashed his sleeve, leaving a clear mark.


    "I''d like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve," Silver Lucas scoffed, sending Blaze Regret flying with a powerful slap.

 Chapter 312 - 312 Forest Wood Lodge King

    "Boom!"


    Before his words had even faded, a massive figure suddenly charged from the distance. The swinging trunk of a tree smashed a Ghost Vine Flower into pieces with a single blow.


    The figure was a towering green tree with a pair of cold eyes on its trunk. If not for this unusual feature, it could easily be mistaken for an ordinary tree.


    "Damn, it''s the Forest Wood Lodge King!" Silver Lucas''s eyes widened in shock. This wood type spirit beast possessed the power of a mid tier, seventh rank lord!


    The eyes of the Forest Wood Lodge King turned slightly, locking onto Silver Lucas. The rich fragrance made its entire body tremble uncontrollably.


    The powder from the Gluttonous Flower had a deadly allure for it.


    "Bang!"


    Smashing another Ghost Vine Flower, the Forest Wood Lodge King moved its massive roots, shaking the ground with each step as it charged toward Silver Lucas. Silver Lin, unable to dodge in time, was crushed into a pulp.


    "Well done," Blaze Regret said, hugging the returning Red with a smile.


    From the moment Silver Lucas discovered him, Blaze Regret had begun a series of strategic moves. If Master Magi were awake, he would be surprised to find that the once troubled boy who sought his help had matured into someone with meticulous plans.


    "You little brat, I won''t let you get away with this!"


    Silver Lucas cast a resentful glance at Ethereal Lotus, then, with a heart full of pain, turned and fled in the opposite direction. The Blood Demon General, having knocked the Ice Control Irenix aside, followed closely behind with its cross shaped saber.


    "Bang!"


    The Forest Wood Lodge King passed by, not even sparing a glance at Blaze Regret, and followed them like a gust of wind. Its bulky body managed to move with such astonishing speed that Blaze Regret couldn''t help but marvel.


    Several elders from the Blood Seal Gate, eyes filled with fear and hatred, glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. They grabbed the dumbfounded Silver Lucas and fled the scene. Faced with Blaze Regret, who possessed a lord grade Ice Control Irenix, they had no courage to fight.


    "Now, it''s just the two of us."


    Blaze Regret''s lips curved into a broad smile, while Ethereal Lotus remained leaning forward, watching the Forest Wood Lodge King''s retreating figure with unblinking eyes, completely unaware of the impending danger.


    Puffing out her adorable cheeks, the Ethereal Lotus chewed slightly, her gem like eyes eagerly fixed on the distance, her body leaning forward as if almost touching the ground.


    Blaze Regret raised his hand, just about to summon the Contract Spirit Array, when the Ethereal Lotus suddenly turned her gaze toward him, blinking slightly, causing his hand to freeze in mid air.


    "Chi~"


    A gentle sound emerged from the Ethereal Lotus''s mouth, dragging out the syllable. Her innocent look directed at Blaze Regret was as if she were looking at an idiot.


    However, even with such a demeanor, combined with her cute face, it was hard to find her annoying.


    With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret suddenly felt a sense of humiliation. The intelligence of the Ethereal Lotus was higher than he had imagined; it seemed that no matter how adorable a mystical beast appeared, they were not to be underestimated.


    With a delicate wave of her hand, the Ethereal Lotus suddenly vanished from her spot, leaving behind a few tiny leaves dancing in the air. In an instant, her figure appeared farther away.


    A sudden jolt ran through his heart, and Blaze Regret focused all his attention, his gaze tightly following the shadow of the Ethereal Lotus. The brilliant Contract Spirit Array spread rapidly beneath her.


    "Chi!"


    As if she had suddenly found amusement, the Ethereal Lotus''s figure flickered around Blaze Regret, each time leaving behind only a few emerald leaves above the Contract Spirit Array, along with her playful laughter. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Wow!"


    A flash of anger crossed his eyes. The blazing Red shot out, and the three streams of light swirling around him increased his speed even more. He then swung his claws fiercely at the Ethereal Lotus.


    He knew he couldn''t focus on forming the spirit contract until he brought her down.


    With a slight curl of her lips, the Ethereal Lotus looked at the rushing Red, and with a gentle wave of her small hand, petals filled the sky, falling like fragrant rain, appearing exceptionally beautiful.


    In her eyes, petals swirled down, and the rushing figure of the Red quickly halted. It then swiftly turned around, a vibrant petal brushing against its tail, and with a crisp sound, it sliced downwards. The soft petal, sharp as a steel blade, was driven diagonally into the ground.


    Watching the Red''s awkward state, excitement gleamed in the Ethereal Lotus''s eyes. She then darted into the distance, leaving trails of afterimages in her wake.


    As the only Ethereal Lotus in the entire continent, she had encountered countless spirit masters over the years who wished to form a spirit contract with her, including a powerful Spirit King. However, they all met the same fate, failure without exception.


    To her, Blaze Regret was just another one among them.


    As the figure of the Ethereal Lotus gradually disappeared from view, a deep anxiety appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. Without thinking twice, he jumped onto the back of the Ice Control Irenix and chased after her like a whirlwind.


    He had invested so much effort to obtain this mystical beast, and if he were to fail at this critical moment, he could only imagine the blow it would deal to him.


    Even that Spirit King, after witnessing the Ethereal Lotus slip away, had furiously devastated an area of ten thousand meter. It was known that he usually had a rather gentle temperament.


    "Whoosh!"


    Like a casual stroll, the Ethereal Lotus flickered and dashed several hundred meter away. Behind her, the fragmented Contract Spirit Array almost formed a straight line, flickering with faint light.

 Chapter 313 - 313 Clue

    Glancing back at the sky, the Ethereal Lotus wore a relaxed expression. However, she was still cradling a light red fruit in her hands, which was evidently something she had swiped from Blaze Regret''s Void realms Stone.


    After popping a few Recovery Pills into his mouth, Blaze Regret''s chest rose and fell erratically, his heavy breathing faintly audible.


    The spirit power consumed by deploying the Contract Spirit Array was no less than continuously activating the Crumbling Rock Palm. This level of consumption was extremely taxing even for Silver Lucas, let alone for him, a seventh tier spirit Imperial master.


    "Why has she stopped?"


    Sitting on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret looked down in disbelief. The Ethereal Lotus, cradling the fragrant spirit fruit, had her large, dark eyes slightly closed. Around her, a light green spirit array spread out, and as the leaf shaped spirit light soared, her figure gradually became transparent.


    Is it about to disappear?


    As this possibility crossed his mind, the flame that had just ignited in Blaze Regret''s heart was instantly extinguished, and a hint of self mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    If even a Spirit King couldn''t successfully form a spirit contract with such a mystical beast, what right did a mere seventh tier spirit Imperial master like him have to feel more confident?


    After all, this was the one and only Ethereal Lotus on the continent.


    "No, that''s not right. Since Master Magi didn''t provide any instructions, the solution must lie within me."


    Even in the depths of despair, thoughts in Blaze Regret''s mind continued to whirl rapidly. Suddenly, his body jolted with realization.


    Scenes from when he had fallen into the Black Water River flashed before his eyes in a frenzy, finally freezing on the moment in the Blazing Fire Spirit Tomb.


    "This thing could be of great use."


    Master Magi''s voice echoed faintly in his mind, traveling through time, with the source of that voice coming from the room where Blaze Regret had defeated the Fire Stone Ball!


    "Could it be¡­"


    A glimmer of light crossed his eyes, and Blaze Regret hurriedly opened the Void realms Stone. A long vine, emanating a tender green glow, appeared in his palm.


    This item was the Recovery Spirit Vine!


    "Chi?"


    With a slight twitch of her nose, the Ethereal Lotus tilted her little head, casting a puzzled glance into the air. Then, an unmistakable fear emerged on her adorable face, as if she had encountered a lifelong enemy.


    Seeing the startled Ethereal Lotus, Blaze Regret felt a surge of joy in his heart. He directed all his spirit power into his palm, infusing it into the Recovery Spirit Vine.


    "Whoosh!"


    A tender green light erupted forth. The Recovery Spirit Vine trembled slightly before suddenly darting out of Blaze Regret''s hand, splitting into countless tendrils in mid air. Each one rapidly extended in length, transforming in the blink of an eye into dozens of meter, filling the air as they descended towards the Ethereal Lotus below.


    "Crack!"


    The soft Recovery Spirit Vines fell like sharp spears, striking the ground around the Ethereal Lotus at lightning speed. They then plunged directly into the earth, intertwining with the soil beneath her feet, and the vines above did the same.


    In an instant, the dozen or so Recovery Spirit Vines seemed to form a solid vine cage. The Ethereal Lotus, trapped within the cage, crashed against the walls in a frenzy, unable to find any way to break free. Her strange teleportation ability also lost its effectiveness inside.


    Stomping her feet in anger, the Ethereal Lotus looked like a sulking child throwing a tantrum.


    "Little one, after stealing so many spirit herbs from me, it''s time to settle the score."


    Jumping down from the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret looked at the pouting Ethereal Lotus, and his joyful feelings surged like a flood breaking through a dam, impossible to contain.


    This mystical beast will be mine from now on!


    -----


    "Damn it, if I advance to a seventh level spirit Lord master, the first thing I''ll do is kill you!"


    Standing at the entrance of the Black Nether Abyss, Silver Lucas gritted his teeth as he glared at the Forest Wood Lodge King below. His sinister gaze seemed as if it wanted to tear the latter to pieces.


    Meanwhile, Forest Wood Lodge King remained steadfast below, its large eyes filled with intense greed. The scent of greed emanating from Silver Lucas could be clearly detected, even through the layer of black mist.


    "Master, what should we do now?"


    One of the elders behind Silver Lucas sighed with a bitter smile. Unexpectedly, their venture into the Black Nether Abyss not only failed to enhance their strength but also cost the life of Grand Elder Silver Lin. As for Silver Van, he wasn''t of much significance.


    However, aside from Silver Lucas...


    "That little brat dared to kill my son. I will make him understand that the Blood Seal Gate is not something he can provoke." Silver Lucas turned around fiercely, while the elders behind him exchanged glances.


    "Fortunately, Master Silver managed to eliminate all the Frostwing Bat Kings. In the future, there shouldn''t be any more large scale bat tides."


    Around the outer walls of Bloodstone Pass, a fourth level spirit master picked up items from the ground. After a moment, he stood up with a smile, his bag containing ice spirit cores worth at least ten thousand gold coins.


    "That''s uncertain. Everyone knows how strange the Black Nether Abyss is; who knows what new monsters might emerge in the future." Another spirit master lamented, shaking his head. Having spent considerable time around Bloodstone Pass, he''d heard more than a few eerie rumors about the Black Nether Abyss.

    "Is that so? I heard that the reason the Blood Seal Gate''s master and elders advance so rapidly is related to that abyss."

 Chapter 314 - 314 Personal Favor

    "Shh, hush now, don''t let the Blood Seal Gate hear you, or you might find your neck snapped."


    The noisy chatter echoed below the high walls. After each bat tide, the powerful defenders who protected the town would conduct a thorough cleanup, earning a fortune from the Frostwing Bat''s spirit cores.


    Leaning against a massive boulder, Walker Adam glanced at the dent on the high wall. A flash of heat flickered in his eyes. The dent was caused by a punch from a Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, and within it lay the battered remains of a Bone Armor Rhino.


    "I''m still too weak," he murmured softly. No one knew that at this moment, a peculiar vertical eye was embedded in the center of Walker Adam''s forehead, displaying a dual hue of red and purple.


    If someone were to attack him suddenly, they would discover that Walker Adam, who was once merely a ninth level spirit warrior master, had astonishingly advanced to become a genuine fifth level spirit Imperial master! This rapid progression could only be described as terrifying.


    "Hmm?"


    Suddenly, Walker Adam''s heart stirred, and his gaze drifted into the distance. There, several figures clad in blood red robes were approaching with somber expressions.


    "This doesn''t look right. It seems Brother Blaze must have acted against them," he muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear. Walker Adam stood up and headed straight into Bloodstone Pass. The crowd, caught up in their excitement, failed to notice a young man with his face hidden beneath his robes vanishing from the scene.


    "Where is that old guy Walker Sin?!"


    A third level spirit Imperial master, busy collecting spirit cores, felt a heavy hand clap on his shoulder. He turned around, ready to curse, but the shadowy face before him made him swallow his words.


    "Master Silver... the Walker family left Bloodstone Pass with their entire clan after you entered the Black Nether Abyss. No one knows where they went," the spirit Imperial master stammered, his voice trembling slightly with fear.


    "Hmph!"


    With a forceful press of his hand, the spirit Imperial master collapsed to the ground. Silver Lucas''s face was so dark it seemed he could wring water from it. Several elders of the Blood Seal Gate stood behind him, heads lowered, not daring to utter a sound.


    "I just don''t believe it, that kid couldn''t have just appeared out of nowhere!"


    Silver Lucas declared fiercely, "Send out the message: anyone who can provide accurate information about that kid will receive a bounty of two hundred thousand gold coins, and I, Silver Lucas, will owe them a favor!"


    Upon hearing this, several elders'' expressions changed sharply. It wasn''t the terrifying bounty amount that shocked them, but rather that Silver Lucas was willing to offer a personal favor in exchange for information about Blaze Regret!


    It''s well known that the favor of a spirit Lord master is enough to allow anyone to roam Bloodstone Pass with impunity.


    It seems Silver Lucas is truly intent on killing.


    "Understood."


    One of the elders nodded slightly, then gestured for a member of the Blood Seal Gate to come over and whispered instructions with a serious expression.


    In less than half an hour, the tempting bounty had spread throughout the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass.


    Everyone knew that the master of the Blood Seal Gate, a powerful spirit Lord master, was offering a personal favor in exchange for information about a dual source spirit Imperial master!


    "If I reveal it, that Blaze clan member will probably meet a terrible end."


    In a tavern, a spirit master who had come from the outskirts of Bloodstone Pass had a gleam in his eye. "But whether he lives or dies, what does it matter to me? As long as I can gain Silver Lucas''s protection, who in Bloodstone Pass wouldn''t fear me, Steel Hon, to some extent?"


    Having come to this realization, Steel Hon suddenly stood up, slapped several dozen gold coins onto the table with a loud smack, and walked out of the tavern with an air of satisfaction.


    "Finally, my time has come!"


    Gazing at the middle aged man dressed in blood red robes, Steel Hon excitedly licked his lips, lifted his foot, and quickly walked over.


    "You say you know that kid?"


    A chilling glint flickered in Silver Lucas''s eyes as he narrowed them at Steel Hon, a bloodthirsty intent rapidly spreading within their depths.


    "That''s right. The kid''s name is Blaze Regret, the son of Blaze Ash, the head of the Blaze Family," Steel Hon said hurriedly, shivering as he sensed the murderous aura emanating from Silver Lucas.


    "Very good." Silver Lucas waved his hand, and a blood red gold coin card dropped to the ground in front of Steel Hon.


    Steel Hon''s eyes lit up with joy as he bent down to pick it up, but a foot suddenly stepped on it, leaving only half of the card visible.


    "Your information isn''t enough to earn my bounty," Silver Lucas said slowly.


    After hesitating for a moment, Steel Hon''s eyes suddenly brightened. He looked up at Silver Lucas in an awkward posture, trying to please him.


    "There''s a member of the Blaze Family inside the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass, someone named Blaze Wahab, I believe," Steel Hon said with a sycophantic smile.


    "Is that so?"


    Silver Lucas''s foot slightly lifted, and a sinister, cold smile spread across his lips.


    The Blaze Family seems to have their own spirit Lord master as well, but since your family killed my son, taking the life of one of your clan members shouldn''t be a problem.

    The vine cage formed by the Recovery Spirit Vines fell weakly. Blaze Regret looked at the center of the contract spirit formation ahead, where the air spirit creature, Ethereal Lotus, glared back at him, visibly upset, causing him a headache.


    "Don''t look at me like that; it''s not my fault you fell into my hands."

 Chapter 315 - 315 Conclusion

    Innocently shrugging his shoulders, Blaze Regret extended his palm, and four dazzling halos swirled out. His gaze suddenly turned sharp: "Spirit Contract, conclude!"


    "Whoosh!"


    The mysterious contract spirit formation instantly blossomed again, intertwining with the previous one, appearing extraordinarily exquisite. Centered around Ethereal Lotus, it spun rapidly.


    Unlike ordinary spirit beasts, forming a spirit contract with a mysterious beast requires the simultaneous descent of two contract spirit formations!


    "Ah!"


    Showing a hint of fear in its eyes, Ethereal Lotus struggled frantically, shooting sharp leaves towards Blaze Regret.


    However, before those leaves could escape the range of the contract spirit formation, they were shredded into emerald green light dots, floating above Ethereal Lotus, looking quite beautiful.


    "Collect!"


    With a sudden grip of his palm, Blaze Regret solemnly watched ahead as the dazzling contract spirit formation gradually shrank, and Ethereal Lotus''s struggling movements slowly ceased.


    Its gem like eyes closed gently, standing quietly there. The mysterious contract spirit formation transformed into a tiny dot, imprinting itself on its forehead.


    With a slight flicker, the miniature contract spirit formation became hidden, creating a subtle connection between it and Blaze Regret


    Bright, sparkling eyes slowly opened as Ethereal Lotus stared blankly at Blaze Regret. The defiance in its eyes had vanished, but the slight pout of its lips still showed its sense of grievance.


    "Chi!"


    Sitting on the ground, Red curiously stared at Ethereal Lotus, its wagging tail causing the latter''s eyes to dart back and forth.


    With a gentle chuckle, Blaze Regret took out a few third tier spirit fruits from the Void Realm Stone and handed them to Ethereal Lotus. Its spirits lifted as it quickly hugged them to its chest, immediately picking one up and munching on it.


    A voracious appetite was a characteristic trait of Ethereal Lotus.


    Watching Ethereal Lotus''s petite figure, the joy in Blaze Regret''s heart coalesced into an uncontrollable emotion. After a moment, laughter that had been stifled for a long time bubbled up from his throat.

    "I, Blaze Regret, finally own a mysterious beast!"


    His excited laughter echoed in the Black Abyss for a long time before gradually subsiding.


    With a broad smile still on his face, Blaze Regret looked towards the Void Realm Stone. If Master Magi were to wake up and see the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros and Ethereal Lotus, his expression would surely be quite remarkable.


    "Come to think of it, the Spirit Battle Tournament in Velorian City is also about to start."


    Blaze Regret glanced in the direction of Velorian City, a wave of nostalgia rising in his heart. Then his gaze gradually returned to the mountain peak: "However, the trouble here must be resolved first."


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous explosion resounded in the Black Abyss as the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist crashed heavily onto the mountain peak. In an instant, cracks spread rapidly from the summit, swiftly covering the entire mountain.


    With a stomp of its foot, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros landed on the ground, a shockwave filled with violent energy following the punch, causing the already precarious mountain to instantly crumble


    "That blood red vine should be dead by now."


    Looking at the blood lake filled with rubble, Blaze Regret breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he discovered the secret of the Blood Seal Gate in advance; otherwise, even the strongest in Velorian City wouldn''t have been able to stop Sliver Lucas''s Blood Demon General in a few decades.


    At the top of the cliff, long vines of various shapes interwove into green nets.


    The thick layer of fallen leaves on the green nets brought a rare vitality to the edge of the Black Abyss.


    Clearly, only this area was free from the contamination of the eerie Black Abyss aura.


    "The air outside is so refreshing."


    Standing at the cliff''s edge, Blaze Regret stretched his arms and took a satisfying breath of the cool air. In the Black Abyss, not only was his spiritual power constantly being drained, but even the air felt oppressively heavy, far less pleasant than the freedom outside.


    "Ding!"


    The communication shell in the Void Realm Stone flashed brightly. Blaze Regret looked down in puzzlement and picked it up. Moments later, a furious murderous intent surged in his eyes.


    ...


    The Blood Seal Gate was located on the southern side of the inner wall of Bloodstone Pass.


    This area was almost the least popular within a hundred mile radius because any spirit master who approached here without reason would be ruthlessly attacked by members of the Blood Seal Gate.


    However, today, a large crowd had gathered around the Blood Seal Gate to witness the spectacle. These onlookers formed a massive circle, and besides the disciples of the Blood Seal Gate in their blood red robes, the rest were quite reputable within Bloodstone Pass.


    At this moment, all eyes were focused on the center of the crowd, where Sliver Lucas, with a cold and stern gaze, was slightly raising his foot. Underneath his foot was the face of a young man.


    "Your name is Blaze Adam?" Sliver Lucas looked calmly at the young man beneath him, applying a bit more pressure with his foot.


    "What does my name have to do with you?" Blaze Adam smirked, not showing any sign of pain despite the pressure on his face.


    A deep scar at the corner of his eye gave him an aura of ferocity. This scar was a memento from a battle with a first tier spirit Lord master, a fight that nearly cost him his life. He had faced many such dangerous situations over the years.


    "Wanting revenge? Bring it on; I can handle it all," Blaze Adam snorted. When the Blood Seal Gate came looking for him, he initially thought it was an old enemy seeking help for revenge.


    "Revenge is indeed necessary."


    A cold glint flickered in Sliver Lucas''s eyes. "There''s a scoundrel named Blaze Regret who killed my son. I assume you know him?"


    "Blaze Regret?"

 Chapter 316 - 316 Dont push to Far

    Blaze Adam was momentarily stunned, and disbelief filled his eyes. It was a name he hadn''t heard in at least two years, and the sudden flood of memories left him slightly dazed.


    "Haha, well done! The mighty sect leader of the Blood Seal Gate couldn''t even protect his own offspring. How satisfying!" Blaze Adam laughed heartily, completely unaware of how dark Sliver Lucas''s expression had become.


    "You''re courting death!"


    Sliver Lucas''s eyes glinted coldly as he lifted his foot, ready to stomp down with force.


    A full force strike from a Spirit Lord Master could easily crush the head of a ninth tier spirit Imperial master!


    "As long as he''s dead, no one will know it was me."


    Hiding in the middle of the crowd, Steel Hon grinned with a rather smug expression. He hadn''t expected that sacrificing the insignificant Blaze Adam could secure such a bright future for him at Bloodstone Pass, truly a profitable exchange.


    As they watched Sliver Lucas''s foot lift, everyone held their breath, as if they could already envision the gruesome scene about to unfold.


    "You think that''s satisfying, huh? Let me give you something even more satisfying." Sliver Lucas''s eyes turned icy as he stomped down with a swish, the immense force causing the air below to emit a sharp whistling sound.


    However, just as Sliver Lucas''s foot was about to make contact with Blaze Adam''s face, a voice filled with furious anger, amplified by spiritual power, boomed out.


    "Sliver Lucas, you old dog! If you dare harm a single hair on Blaze Adam, I''ll make sure your entire Blood Seal Gate pays the price!" sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Silver Lucas, you old dog, if you dare to harm even a hair on Blaze Adam, I will make your entire Blood Seal Sect pay with their lives!"


    A voice filled with rage echoed from afar, resonating thunderously under the cloak of spiritual power. Everyone was taken aback, especially the elders of the Blood Seal Gate, who looked up abruptly with fierce expressions.


    A pale blue streak of light tore through the sky, darting towards them like lightning, leaving a path of ice in its wake.


    Upon hearing this voice, Blaze Adam, who had closed his eyes and awaited death, couldn''t help but tremble. He suddenly opened his eyes, incredulously looking at Ice control Irenix swooping down.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Seeing the young man standing on Ice control Irenix, Blaze Adam felt an indescribable emotion. Although he wasn''t related to Blaze Regret by blood, he had always considered him as a younger brother. Otherwise, he wouldn''t have offered all his belongings without hesitation on the mountainside that day.


    However, watching Blaze Regret leap off Ice control Irenix, his anxiety overshadowed his excitement. After all, Silver Lucas was a formidable spirit Lord leader, and Blaze Regret coming here seemed like a death wish!


    When he first saw the Blood Seal Gate disciples, he used a sound transmitting conch to inform Blaze Wahab, hoping for family assistance. Yet, he never expected Blaze Regret to be the first to arrive.


    "You actually came out," Silver Lucas sneered, his blood soaked foot hovering just inches from Blaze Adam''s face.


    Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted slightly downward, looking at Blaze Adam''s trembling lips. The fury in his eyes gradually dissipated, but soon after, veins bulged on the back of his hand.


    "I swear, I will grind that leg of yours into dust," Blaze Regret vowed, looking directly at Silver Lucas, his dark eyes suddenly sharp and icy.


    "Heh, meaningless threats," Silver Lucas chuckled, lowering his foot to the ground, refraining from his previous actions. In his mind, Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam were already dead; it was merely a matter of time.


    "Damn it, how did he manage to escape the Black Abyss!"


    In the crowd, Steel Hon gritted his teeth, his eyes showing a hint of fear. He had dared to inform Silver Lucas because he believed Blaze Regret had perished in the Black Abyss. But Blaze Regret''s reappearance cast an indelible shadow in his heart.


    However, both possessed spirit beasts of the second tier higher lord level. Perhaps Silver Lucas could kill him, Steel Hon consoled himself, unaware that both Silver Lucas and Blaze Regret had undergone drastic changes since emerging from the Black Abyss.


    "Release Blaze Adam, and our grudges will be settled," Blaze Regret said coldly, narrowing his eyes.


    "Settled?" Silver Lucas was momentarily taken aback, then burst into laughter. Did this kid not understand the situation? He was not only a third tier spirit Lord master but also had Blaze Adam as a hostage. Where did Blaze Regret get the audacity to make such a demand?


    "Settled, it''s possible."


    Silver Lucas looked at Blaze Regret, still wearing a mocking smile. "But first, you must kneel and kowtow a hundred times, and you must never set foot in Bloodstone Pass again."


    As soon as these words fell, the onlookers were abuzz. Kneeling and kowtowing were great insults. Would Blaze Regret, who possessed a second tier high lord grade Ice control Irenix, agree to such conditions?


    "Kowtowing isn''t enough; you must also sever an arm!" shouted Silver Ray, standing beside the Blood Seal Gate elder. Blaze Adam, lying on the ground, was filled with rage and silently vowed that if he ever became strong enough, he would annihilate the entire Blood Seal Gate.


    Having spent so much time surviving outside, Blaze Adam''s ruthlessness matched that of Silver Lucas and the others.


    "Master Silver, do you really have to push it this far?" Blaze Regret''s voice suddenly calmed, but anyone familiar with him would know this was a sign of his utmost anger.


    "Not one less," Silver Lucas said with a sly smile, raising his foot again toward Blaze Adam''s face.


    "Is that so?" Blaze Regret lowered his head, a mocking smile on his lips, and slowly bent his knees.


    Seeing this, the onlookers sighed, while sinister smiles appeared on the faces of Silver Lucas and Silver Ray.

 Chapter 317 - 317 Kneel down

    In the territory of the Blood Seal Gate, even a tiger must lie low, and a dragon must coil.


    Blaze Regret''s knees bent slightly, but a glint flashed in his eyes. Only he knew that this was not the act of kneeling but the starting move to unleash his Fire Flame Step to its fullest!


    "Boom!"


    The air beneath him erupted with heat as Blaze Regret''s figure shot forward like an arrow from a bow, heading straight for Silver Lucas. His clenched fist, carrying a fierce gust, aimed directly at Silver Lucas''s head.


    The silver white fist quickly enlarged in Silver Lucas''s eyes, and he instinctively raised his arms to block it. He had heard more than once about how terrifying this young man''s punches could be.


    Suddenly, the oncoming force vanished, and Silver Lucas looked up in confusion. To his horror, he saw that the previously clamorous Silver Ray had been seized by Blaze Regret.


    The elders of the Blood Seal Gate looked on in disbelief. The speed of a seventh tier spirit Imperial master was so fast that even they couldn''t stop it, leaving them with a surreal feeling.


    "Kneel and sever an arm?"


    Blaze Regret lifted Silver Ray by his robe, his sharp and cold gaze causing Silver Ray, who was struggling frantically, to shiver involuntarily.


    "What incredible speed!"


    As everyone marveled at Blaze Regret''s speed, the scene before them made their faces twitch. Blaze Regret raised his foot and unhesitatingly kicked Silver Ray''s left leg.


    "Crack!"


    The sound of bones breaking echoed clearly. Silver Lucas, furious, saw Silver Ray''s rapidly twisting left leg go limp under Blaze Regret''s brutal kick.


    A shrill scream erupted from Silver Ray''s mouth, the loud sound causing Blaze Regret''s ears to ring slightly. He frowned and then lifted his foot again, mercilessly breaking Silver Ray''s other leg.


    "Stop it!"


    Seeing this, Silver Lucas hurriedly reached out, attempting to grab Blaze Adam from the ground to use as leverage against Blaze Regret. However, several emerald green vines suddenly burst from the ground, wrapping around Blaze Adam and pulling him into the earth.


    "Swish!"


    In the next moment, the soil beside Blaze Regret shifted, and the petite figure of Ethereal Lotus emerged with a pop, landing steadily on the ground. The emerald green vines danced in its palm, with the other end holding a stunned Blaze Adam.


    "Well done," Blaze Regret said, patting Ethereal Lotus''s small head with a smile.


    "Ethereal Lotus!"


    While everyone was puzzled about what kind of spirit beast this was, Silver Lucas''s terrified shout cut through the silence of the scene, even momentarily overshadowing Silver Lucas''s cries of agony.


    When Silver Lucas''s horrified shout suddenly echoed in their ears, everyone except the elders of the Blood Seal Gate felt slightly dizzy. They had never seen Silver Lucas, a powerful spirit Lord master, in such a state of distress.


    "You actually formed a spiritual contract with the Ethereal Lotus?" Silver Lucas felt as if he had been struck by lightning, staring blankly at the petite figure of the Ethereal Lotus. He could not believe that a mere seventh level spirit Imperial master could successfully form a contract with it!


    Even he had no confidence in achieving such a feat!


    "So what if I did?" Blaze Regret smiled faintly. Beside him, the Ethereal Lotus gently waved its small hand, and Blaze Adam, who was entangled in vines in mid air, slowly descended to the ground.


    "Give me this mystical beast, and I can overlook the past grievances," Silver Lucas said, greedily eyeing the Ethereal Lotus, completely forgetting that Silver Ray, with his legs severely injured, was still in Blaze Regret''s grasp.


    "I order you, let me go immediately!" Silver Ray yelled, his face twisted and his voice hoarse.


    "Let go? Alright." Blaze Regret chuckled, flicking his wrist. Silver Ray''s body was instantly thrown into the air. At the same time, a sharp, icy blade flashed through the air.


    "Slash!"


    The sharp ice blade pierced through Silver Ray''s chest, protruding halfway out of his back. Blood slowly spread over the exposed icy tip.


    "I want you dead!" Silver Lucas snapped back to reality, leaping up to catch Silver Ray in his arms. When he felt the faint breath from the latter''s nostrils, his razor sharp gaze was fixed fiercely on Blaze Regret.


    "Whoosh!"


    In mid air, the Blood Demon General waved its hand, and a cross shaped blade spun rapidly, transforming into a blood vortex that slashed downward. A thick, overpowering scent of blood filled the air.


    "Third Level!"


    Feeling the aura unleashed by the Blood Demon General, a wave of shock echoed around. Silver Lucas, who had only recently broken through to the second level of spirit Lord grade, had astonishingly advanced another level!


    "I''ll leave this battle to you," Blaze Regret said, smiling slightly as he stepped back a few paces with Red. He was eager to witness the legendary power of the Ethereal Lotus.


    "Chi!"


    In the black gem like eyes of the Ethereal Lotus, a trace of disdain flickered. She stepped forward, gracefully twirling her small hand toward the sky where the cross shaped blade was hurtling down. A shower of pink petals descended, filling the air with a rich fragrance.


    These seemingly delicate petals, upon contact with the sharp cross blade, produced a sound like metal clashing, even sparking a few embers. To everyone''s astonishment, they witnessed the cross blade begin to waver under the relentless impact of the petals.


    Seeing this, the Blood Demon General felt a chill in its heart. It unleashed a powerful suction from its palm, causing the cross blade to spin violently and the pink petals to fall to the ground, embedding themselves everywhere.


    As the cross blade lifted slightly, just as the Blood Demon General was about to execute a spiritual technique, its gaze froze. The once impervious blade now bore several distinct scratches!


    These scratches were caused in an instant by the vibrant petals.

 Chapter 318 - 318 Spare You

    With her palm facing the ground, the Ethereal Lotus coldly stared at the Blood Demon General in mid air. A few emerald green vines shot out from her palm with a swish, striking the ground.


    Using this force, the Ethereal Lotus propelled herself upward, appearing before the Blood Demon General in a flash. Her delicate hand struck out mercilessly.


    "Smack!"


    The Ethereal Lotus moved so swiftly that even the Blood Demon General could only reflexively raise the cross blade. Her small hand landed squarely on the blade.


    "Blood Demon General, Blood Drinking Assault!" Silver Lucas shouted urgently.


    With a fierce glint in its eyes, the Blood Demon General channeled all its spiritual energy into the cross blade. A swarm of blood snakes erupted forth, accompanied by a terrifying hissing sound.


    "Whoosh!"


    The vines retracted into her palm, and the Ethereal Lotus landed gracefully on the ground. A small ripple of dust spread around her.


    Meanwhile, the Blood Demon General remained suspended in mid air, casually shaking the cross blade, showing no signs of injury.


    "Is this a mystical beast?" Silver Lucas felt a bit puzzled. He had expected that the Ethereal Lotus''s thunderous strike would at least severely injure the Blood Demon General, but it seemed unimpressive.


    The Ethereal Lotus''s large, dark eyes blinked gently as she straightened up, slowly raising her small hand. A faint emerald green spiritual energy gathered in her palm. S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as the Blood Demon General was about to charge down and slice the Ethereal Lotus in half with its sharp cross blade, its body suddenly froze in place.


    "Poof!"


    With a light squeeze of the Ethereal Lotus''s hand, a tender green bud suddenly sprouted from the Blood Demon General''s chest, radiating vibrant life.


    "What is happening!"


    All the onlookers widened their eyes in astonishment. Such a peculiar spiritual technique was something they had never witnessed before. However, the delicate bud seemed unlikely to inflict any substantial harm on the Blood Demon General.


    Seeing the bud on the Blood Demon General''s chest, Silver Lucas felt a shiver run through him, an ominous premonition rising within him, impossible to shake off.


    "Now it''s time for a little magic trick," Blaze Regret said with a faint smile.


    "Hmph!"


    With a cute little hum, the Ethereal Lotus''s tightly clenched hand suddenly opened wide, and a look of deep fear surged on the Blood Demon General''s face.


    The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some force, rushing madly into the tender green bud. A brilliant luster flowed across the bud''s surface.


    The next moment, under many astonished gazes, the bud rapidly bloomed, transforming instantly into a crystalline blue flower. The flower, about ten feet wide, was magnificent and profound, quickly enveloping the Blood Demon General''s body.


    This dazzling transformation captivated everyone''s attention.


    "Detonate," Blaze Regret''s calm voice emerged as he watched the Ethereal Lotus''s changing hand movements.


    "Boom!"


    The moment Blaze Regret''s voice fell, the strange crystalline blue flower exploded with a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass.


    The sound was colossal, yet it carried no shockwave. Everyone clutched their ears in pain, and after a moment, when they managed to lift their heads, their gazes instantly turned to one of amazement.


    The energy from the flower''s explosion formed a massive crystalline blue flower pattern in the air where the Blood Demon General once stood. It hovered, seemingly tangible, profound, and beautiful.


    The thunderous sound gradually faded, and in the sky, the figure of the Blood Demon General had long disappeared without a trace. Only a gigantic crystal blue flower bloomed there, magnificent and enchanting.


    "Swish!"


    In an instant, the battered cross blade fell from the sky, embedding itself directly into the soil at Silver Lucas''s feet. The blade, once gleaming with a cold light, was now covered in charred ashes.


    Feeling the pain transmitted from the spirit portal, the shock on Silver Lucas''s face was unmistakable. The strength of Ethereal Lotus was only that of a third order high lord grade, yet the Blood Demon General of the same strength couldn''t withstand even a single move and perished on the spot.


    Moreover, not even a trace of the body was left behind!


    Looking at the crystal blue flower in the sky, the expressions on everyone''s faces were exceptionally stunned. After a moment, the sound of gasps for air rang out one after another.


    The Blood Demon General, who had run rampant in Bloodstone Pass for years, met such an end, truly making one sigh.


    In the crowd, Steel Hon''s mouth twitched fiercely, then he turned around, intending to flee the scene. In his heart, he had already cursed Silver Lucas millions of times.


    "Blaze Regret, don''t let that guy get away!" Blaze Adam rubbed the red mark on his face, his gaze as sharp as an unsheathed sword, pointing directly at Steel Hon.


    "What happened?" Blaze Regret asked coldly.


    "This person is named Steel Hon, also from Velorian City. He led the people from the Blood seal Gate to capture me," Blaze Adam said, filled with anger. He had been walking in Bloodstone Pass, always hiding his identity, and if it weren''t for Steel Hon, he wouldn''t have suffered Silver Lucas''s humiliation.


    "Snap!"


    As the two spoke, Ethereal Lotus had already waved her slender hand, and a long green vine directly wrapped around the panicked Steel Hon, pulling him over. The sharp thorns on the vine pierced him painfully.


    "Blaze Adam, spare me. I''m also from Velorian City!" Steel Hon was hung in front of Blaze Adam by Ethereal Lotus, his face full of pleading, but deep in his eyes, there was a hidden, intense malice.


    Blaze Adam was only a ninth level spirit warrior master, while he was a third level spirit Imperiall master. Being forced to apologize to Blaze Adam felt like a great humiliation to him.


    "Spare you?" Blaze Adam sneered. "When you brought the Blood seal Gate to my door, did you think about that? Now you want to plead for mercy? Too late!" With that, Blaze Adam shaped his hand like a claw and mercilessly crushed Steel Hon''s throat.

 Chapter 319 - 319 Request

    "Crack!"


    Hearing the sound of breaking nearby, Blaze Regret sighed softly. It seemed that Blaze Adam had experienced quite a lot over the years. Otherwise, he would find it hard to believe that a once gentle member of the Blaze family had become so ruthless.


    Seeing Steel Hon''s death, Ethereal Lotus''s small hand trembled, and the green vine quickly retracted into her palm. Her bright, sparkling eyes stared directly at Blaze Regret, twinkling.

    "You win," Blaze Regret said with a wry smile, knowingly taking a spiritual fruit from his void realms stone and placing it in Ethereal Lotus''s hand.


    "This spirit beast..." Blaze Adam was astonished as he looked at the satisfied Ethereal Lotus. She had defeated the Blood Demon General in a single move, even though they had the same strength. It was terrifying.


    "We''ll talk later; let''s deal with the situation here first."


    Blaze Regret''s gaze shifted, fixing intently on Silver Lucas. A cold killing intent instantly gathered on his face. Now, he was strong enough, and the responsibility to protect his family had gradually shifted from Blaze Ash to him. Naturally, it was up to him to stand up for his family.


    Moreover, Blaze Adam''s humiliation was largely his responsibility.


    "You little brat, it''s not that easy to kill me!"


    Suddenly lifting his head, Silver Lucas looked at Blaze Regret with a grimace. Both of his hands aligned and then clapped heavily. His face immediately turned pale as droplets of blood seeped from his pores, quietly floating around him.


    Seeing Silver Lucas''s move, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. This must be the offensive spiritual technique contained within Silver Lucas''s cultivation method. He wondered how its destructive power would compare to his own Rock Shattering Palm.


    However, he had no intention of testing it out.


    "Blood Swirl Art, Blood Spiral Drill!"


    With Silver Lucas''s furious shout, the floating blood droplets swiftly gathered in front of him, transforming into a rapidly spinning spiral blood drill. A monstrous, bloody stench emanated from it.


    "Go!"


    With a push of Silver Lucas''s palm, the spiral blood drill roared forward, its sharp whistling sound slicing through the air as it shot fiercely towards Blaze Regret.


    "Impressive power, but unfortunately, it''s not for me to handle," Blaze Regret said softly, standing still as he watched the storm like spiral blood drill.


    "Whoosh!"


    Without even glancing at it, Ethereal Lotus, while savoring the spiritual fruit in her mouth, waved her hand. A sharp vine pierced through the air, instantly cutting through the center of the spiral blood drill and, without any resistance, striking Silver Lucas''s throat.


    In front of the entire Blood seal Gate, an utter silence prevailed. Stunned gazes watched as the vine retracted, causing a spray of blood to erupt from Silver Lucas''s throat. Everyone felt a suffocating sensation.


    Silver Lucas was actually dead!


    As they watched his body slowly fall backward, everyone was in a daze. Was the era of the Blood seal Gate''s dominance over Bloodstone Pass finally coming to an end?


    And the one ending this era appeared to be just a seemingly harmless young boy.


    "Let''s go!"


    The moment Silver Lucas hit the ground, several elders of the Blood seal Gate exchanged glances, each seeing the intention to retreat in the other''s eyes. As long as the Blood Lake in the Black Abyss remained, they would have ample opportunities to rise again in the future.


    Unfortunately, what they didn''t know was that the Blood Lake had already been completely dealt with by Blaze Regret.


    "Trying to escape?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly. If these people stayed, they would inevitably cause trouble, and if they ever found their way to the Blaze family, it might lead to complications.


    "You little brat, if we can''t kill you, we can still kill the Blaze family!" thought the fleeing elders of the Blood seal Gate, their eyes filled with malice. However, they hadn''t run far when several sharp vines pierced through their chests, still dripping with blood droplets.


    "This Blood seal Gate no longer has any reason to exist."


    Blaze Regret murmured softly as the vines shooting from Ethereal Lotus''s palm began to dance wildly, lashing furiously at the buildings of the Blood seal Gate, sending shattered stones flying in all directions.


    Countless disciples of the Blood seal Gate rushed out in panic, fleeing in all directions.


    Blaze Regret didn''t bother with them; they were nothing but small fry, and killing them all was both unnecessary and impractical. Moreover, the Blaze family''s reputation had already spread. Ruthlessly exterminating them would only bring negative repercussions for the Blaze family.


    "Blaze Regret, can I ask you a favor?" Blaze Adam hesitated for a moment before speaking.


    "Is there any need for formality between us?" Blaze Regret said with a helpless smile, waving his hand to deflect a flying stone.


    Taking a deep breath, Blaze Adam pulled open his shirt to reveal horrifying scars marring his chest, each one a shocking testament to his ordeal. The skin on his chest was also burned, exposing raw flesh.


    "Who did this to you?"


    Seeing these dreadful marks, the smile vanished from Blaze Regret''s face, replaced by a cold, murderous intent that surged from within him, causing the onlooking spirit master to shiver involuntarily.


    Standing before the collapsing Blood seal Gate, Blaze Regret listened to Blaze Adam''s account, his expression gradually darkening.


    Two years ago, Blaze Adam left Velorian City and came to Bloodstone Pass, where he accidentally met a friend named Wan Cuah. The two quickly became close, and after getting to know each other, Blaze Adam gifted Wan Cuah an Empty Soul Pill.


    It was this very Empty Soul Pill that brought disaster to Wan Cuah.


    Somehow, the news reached a rank eight Spirit warrior Master named Qong Pian, who took advantage of the dark night to infiltrate the Wan family. Not only did he steal the Empty Soul Pill, but he also brutally murdered Wan Cuah''s entire family.

 Chapter 320 - 320 Blame Their Own Weakness

    "All for a mere first grade pill?" Blaze Regret''s face grew even colder. The price of a first grade Empty Soul Pill was only about ten thousand gold coins, which wasn''t considered expensive for a Spirit warrior Master. To kill an entire family over such a trivial sum was beyond excessive.


    It was utterly outrageous!


    "I tried to take revenge, but Qong Pian''s brother is a second tier Spirit Imperial Master, and I''m no match for him at all," Blaze Adam said, his face filled with pain. If he hadn''t given the Empty Soul Pill, this tragedy would never have happened.


    "Qong Pian''s brother, Qong Pear, even said that Wan Cuah''s family''s murder was their good fortune, claiming that his brother was contributing to Bloodstone Pass by getting rid of the incapable." Blaze Adam gritted his teeth, flames of anger burning in his eyes.


    "Lead the way." A cold glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as his deep voice rang out.


    No matter what, he couldn''t stand by and watch his kin being bullied. Furthermore, based on Blaze Adam''s description, both Qong Pear and Qong Pian were not good people. Those who would kill an entire family for personal gain deserved to be eradicated.


    Moreover, killing such people wouldn''t weigh on his conscience at all.


    ...


    The Qong family, within the walls of Bloodstone Pass, could only be considered a small family.


    The strongest member of the entire family was merely Qong Pear, the second tier Spirit Imperial Master. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This is the Qong family?" Blaze Regret looked at the plaque on the gate, his expression indifferent, before suddenly kicking out with all his strength.


    "Bang!"


    The wooden door couldn''t withstand Blaze Regret''s powerful kick and shattered, splinters flying into the courtyard in a whirlwind of fierce wind.


    "Who goes there!"


    At the moment the loud crash echoed, a figure rushed out with a cold expression. His eyes were narrowed, giving off an extremely uncomfortable vibe.


    "That''s Qong Pian," Blaze Adam said, clenching his fist tightly and gritting his teeth.


    "Do you know where this is? Are you tired of living?"


    Qong Pian''s voice was chilling. When he saw Blaze Adam beside Blaze Regret, a mocking look immediately appeared on his face. "Oh, the last time you were chased like a dog by my brother, and now you have the nerve to come back?"


    "Qong Pian, you exterminated the Wan family over a mere Empty Soul Pill, you truly are insane!" Blaze Adam''s eyes turned red with rage, wishing he could tear Qong Pian apart.


    "Is that so? I didn''t know that."


    In response, Qong Pian smiled and casually dug at his ear, indifferent. "What evidence do you have to prove that I did it? I could just as easily say it was you. Could it be that you were coveting Wan Cuah''s wife''s beauty and couldn''t control yourself, doing something more despicable than a beast?"


    As he spoke, Qong Pian wore a lewd grin, completely ignoring Blaze Regret beside Blaze Adam.


    His strength was too low, lacking the qualifications to guard the city walls. Otherwise, upon seeing Blaze Regret, he would never have acted so frivolously; he would have likely been terrified and collapsed on the ground.


    "Qong Pian, you still won''t admit it!" Blaze Adam shouted angrily, extending his hand to pull out a wooden plaque from his clothing, which bore the character for "Qong" carved into it!


    "Oh, this thing?"


    Qong Pian picked his nose and grinned, "You know, that Wan Cuah''s wife has quite the reputation for being promiscuous. She''s been seducing men for years. If you were to ok sneak under her bed, you might even find a plaque from the Blaze family."


    As he finished, Qong Pian burst into laughter, his arrogant cackles drawing the attention of passersby.


    "You''re asking for death!" Blaze Adam''s face darkened, and with all his strength, he swung his fist towards Qong Pian''s face.


    He was fully aware of the Wan family''s character, and Qong Pian''s words were a blatant insult!


    "Bang!"


    Just as Blaze Adam''s fist was about to connect, a fierce gust of wind suddenly howled in, aiming straight for Blaze Adam''s chest, showing no mercy at all.


    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Blaze Regret grasped Blaze Adam''s arm and applied a bit of force, allowing the gust to brush past the latter''s clothing, smashing the damaged doorframe to pieces.


    "Is it you, brat?"


    The newcomer was none other than Qong Pian''s brother, Qong Pear. He coldly glared at Blaze Adam and then glanced at Blaze Regret, his eyes filled with disdain.


    Since they had come to him, he might as well deal with them both! He had just returned from a business deal with a medium sized family, the Snow family, and thus didn''t regard the seemingly youthful Blaze Regret as a threat at all.


    "Big brother, kill them all!" Upon seeing Qong Pear, Qong Pian''s lips curled into a cold smile. Just a couple of worthless fools daring to stir trouble at the Qong family, they didn''t know the meaning of death!


    Of course, at that moment, he completely overlooked the fact that his own strength was one tier lower than Blaze Adam''s.


    "Can I ask if the scar on my brother''s chest was caused by you?" Blaze Regret looked at Qong Pear and asked softly.


    "So what if it was? If this brat hadn''t been so cunning, I would''ve killed him long ago," Qong Pear snorted coldly, showing no intention of hiding his disdain.


    "Was it your brother who killed the Wan family?" Blaze Regret asked patiently once again.


    "That''s right. They were killed, and they have no one to blame but themselves. They can only blame their own weakness," Qong Pear replied arrogantly, shooting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret.


    Seeing the silent Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam, Qong Pian wore a mocking expression.


    "They can only blame their own weakness."


    As he repeated this phrase, a cold glint suddenly appeared on Blaze Regret''s face. He reached out and grabbed Qong Pear, then without using any spiritual power, he delivered a heavy kick.


    "Bang!"

 Chapter 321 - 321 you are also a weakling

    Caught off guard by the sudden blow, Qong Pear was knocked to the ground before he could even react. Just as he was about to curse, Blaze Regret''s foot came crashing down on his face.


    "So you think it''s fine to kill just because someone is weak, huh? Very well!"


    With a sharp, cold light flashing in his eyes, Blaze Regret''s foot, under Qong Pian''s horrified gaze, rained down relentlessly on Qong Pear''s body, the sound of cracking bones echoing throughout the scene.


    "What... what are you doing..." Qong Pian stammered, his face trembling in shock.


    However, before he could finish, Blaze Adam delivered a powerful kick that sent him flying.


    In an instant, Qong Pear''s bones were crushed under Blaze Regret''s relentless assault, and the once arrogant look on his face was replaced by sheer terror.


    It finally dawned on him that he had encountered a real challenge today!


    "In my eyes, you are also a weakling."


    Looking down expressionlessly at the crumpled Qong Pear, Blaze Regret delivered another kick, sending him flying in a parabolic arc, crashing heavily in front of the Qong family''s gate.


    Passersby stared at the pitiful sight of Qong Pear, their hearts shaken.


    What kind of hatred could lead to this? It seemed likely that Qong Pear would be a cripple for the rest of his life!


    With a detached expression on his face, Blaze Regret walked step by step downward. The onlookers along the way instinctively made way for him, sensing a chilling aura emanating from the young man.


    "Is it him?"


    Although many inside the Bloodstone Pass had never seen Blaze Regret, some recognized him. So when their eyes landed on Qong Pear lying on the ground, they couldn''t help but feel a bit of pity.


    Who else would you provoke but him? This young man had just killed Silver Lucas.


    "How does it feel to be the weak one?" Blaze Regret approached Qong Pear, his cold voice slowly rising.


    "Heh, if I ever get the chance, I''ll wipe out your entire family!" Qong Pear, lying on the ground, stared fiercely at Blaze Regret, his smile twisted with malice.


    Hearing this, those who knew Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a bit dizzy. Threatening him? does he think his life is too secure?


    "Oh."


    With a faint response, Blaze Regret lifted his foot, aiming at Qong Pear''s head, ready to stomp without any unnecessary words.


    It''s better to eliminate such venomous people early. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Wait!" Qong Pear, seeing the shadow looming over him, showed an expression of terror that instantly covered his face. At this moment, he could no longer maintain his vicious fa?ade.


    "Do you still have something to say?" Blaze Regret''s foot paused in midair, and he slightly frowned.


    "I admit you''re strong, but if you kill me, the Fire family won''t let you go!" Qong Pear panted heavily, shouting at the top of his lungs.


    "Then let them come for me," Blaze Regret said calmly, as his foot, still suspended in midair, was about to stomp down again.


    "Are you afraid, planning to kill me and then flee Bloodstone Pass immediately?" Qong Pear, looking crazed, roared angrily in his heart. Enjoying a moment''s triumph, what kind of hero is that if you have to flee in the end?


    Blaze Regret''s gaze flickered slightly as he brought his foot down heavily along Qong Pear''s face, causing stones to scatter and forcing Qong Pear to close his eyes in pain.


    "Is the Fire family very powerful?" Blaze Regret asked softly.


    "Heh, at least they''re someone you can''t afford to provoke," Qong Pear opened his eyes, sneering repeatedly. His taunt had finally worked. As long as the head of the Fire family came, Blaze Regret''s fate would be far worse than his.


    The head of the Fire family, Fire Spark, was a distant relative of his. Currently, Fire Spark was a sixth level spirit Imperial master, and within Bloodstone Pass, he looked down on everyone except a few individuals.


    "Brother, he doesn''t dare at all!"


    In the Qong family courtyard, Qong Pian struggled to stand, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and sneered.


    Over the years, Fire Spark had helped them kill countless people. As long as he could come, it wouldn''t be long before Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam would become cold corpses.


    "Young man, let it go when you can. No matter what they''ve done, you''ve already beaten Qong Pear like this, so it''s time to stop."


    "Yes, if you go too far, you might not end well."


    Among the crowd, many who knew the Qong brothers acted as peacemakers, but the supposedly conciliatory voices carried a hint of threat.


    These people more or less knew the Qong family''s background, and if they could do them a favor, they might reap considerable benefits later.


    As for the grievances between Blaze Adam and the Qong family, they couldn''t care less. Even if they knew about Wan Cuah''s family''s demise, it had nothing to do with them.


    They only cared about their own interests.


    Reading their thoughts, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth. He swept his gaze over those who had spoken up, memorizing each of them.


    "Shut up! Do you know that it was this Qong Pian who killed my brother Wan Cuah''s entire family!" Blaze Adam grabbed Qong Pian by the collar and lifted him up, roaring in anger.


    "Little brother, that''s not right! Do you have any evidence? Can anyone prove that it was Qong Pian who killed them?"


    "Exactly, anyone can throw around accusations. Don''t wrong the good people."


    "And even if it is true, what does it matter? The dead can''t come back to life. What''s done is done; when will this cycle of vengeance end?"


    The people who had spoken earlier chastised him with righteous indignation, as if Blaze Adam were the real villain and Qong Pian the victim.

 Chapter 322 - 322 Calling Help

    "Fine, you all are something!"


    Hearing the accusations, Blaze Adam trembled with rage. The shamelessness of these people exceeded his expectations. In the next moment, he loosened his grip and threw Qong Pian away, growling, "I''ll stand right here; you go call the people from the Fire family!"


    At this moment, Blaze Adam was filled with a strong desire to kill those from the Fire family. Moreover, the last time he was chased by Qong Pian, there had been Fire family members involved as well. He hadn''t wanted to cause trouble for Blaze Regret, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.


    If he could kill Silver Lucas, then what was Fire Spark in front of Blaze Regret!


    "Heh, that''s what you said."


    Being thrown away by Blaze Adam, Qong Pian wasn''t angry; instead, a look of joy spread across his face. Without a second thought, he immediately took out a sound transmission shell, his voice quivering with excitement.


    "You Qong family likes to call for help, so can I call a few people too?" Blaze Regret looked down, gazing at Qong Pear, who couldn''t even stand up, his voice calm.


    In response, Qong Pear merely sneered, too lazy to make a sound. He truly didn''t believe that Blaze Adam, who had been chased to the point of fleeing, could know any significant figures in Bloodstone Pass.


    As Blaze Adam''s brother, Blaze Regret was naturally viewed the same way in his mind.


    "Then that''s settled." Blaze Regret murmured, then took out a sound transmission shell from the void realms stone, sending messages to the Patel Family and the Jack Family, and of course, he didn''t forget about Blaze Wahab and the others either.


    Since they were about to leave Bloodstone Pass, the remaining trivial matters naturally needed to be dealt with thoroughly.


    Blaze Regret''s voice was so low that even Qong Pear, lying on the ground, couldn''t hear him. He was still lost in his fantasies, contemplating what method he would use to torture and kill Blaze Regret later.


    "I mustn''t let him die too easily!" Qong Pear swore in his heart; it was the first time he had lost so much face in Bloodstone Pass.


    Even if he successfully killed Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam, the experience of being beaten to the point of not being able to stand would become a joke, a topic of gossip among the people of Bloodstone Pass.


    "I forgot to tell you, that brat Wan Cuah is quite lucky. I had to drain his blood three times before I finally took him down."


    After putting down the sound transmission shell, a moment later, Song Qian lifted his head and cast a smiling gaze at Blaze Adam, his expression filled with unmasked provocation.


    "You''re seeking death!" The killing intent in Blaze Adam''s eyes suddenly surged. Just as he bent his hand, an enraged voice thundered from the end of the street, like a clap of thunder.


    "Who touched my nephew? Come here and die!"


    The furious voice that came from afar echoed between heaven and earth. On the faces of Qong Pear and Song Qian, a strong sense of joy immediately appeared. The few people who had spoken up for them earlier also slightly raised the corners of their mouths. Fire Spark had finally arrived.


    Blaze Regret lightly pursed his lips, bent down, and picked up Qong Pear.


    "What are you doing!" Qong Pear shouted angrily. The arrival of Fire Spark undoubtedly gave him great courage.


    Without a word, Blaze Regret took out a long rope from the void realm stone, tied up Qong Pear''s legs, and threw the other end of the rope over a branch of a large tree in front of the Qong family''s house.


    "I warn you, don''t act rashly!"


    Qong Pear''s threatening roar seemed utterly pale in front of Blaze Regret. His body was directly hoisted upside down, with his head only an inch away from the ground.


    Seeing this scene, many people twitched their mouths. Wasn''t this young man afraid of death? The person coming was Fire Spark, who had a small reputation at Bloodstone Pass.


    Only a few people who knew Blaze Regret sighed silently for Fire Spark. Today might be a day he would remember forever.


    "Boom!"


    A scorching wave came from mid air, followed by a black figure plummeting down, landing heavily on the ground, causing the stones at Blaze Regret''s feet to tremble slightly. S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This person was Fire Spark. His body was extremely bloated, like a small mountain. Above his head, a Blazing Flame Flood Dragon hovered, emitting the previous scorching waves.


    "Do you know what you''re doing?" Fire Spark glanced at Qong Pear, who was hanging upside down on the tree branch, and his face immediately turned extremely dark.


    With his keen eyes, it was not difficult for him to see that all the bones in Qong Pear''s body had been shattered. Even a second grade alchemist might not be able to heal him.


    Moreover, with his connections, even a first grade alchemist might be hard to summon.


    "Do you know what they did?" Blaze Regret pointed to Qong Pear and Song Qian, speaking in an indifferent voice.


    "Let''s hear it," Fire Spark sneered, seemingly listening but clearly questioning.


    "Song Qian killed Wan Cuah''s entire family for an Empty Soul Pill, and Qong Pear left scars on my brother, then ruthlessly tried to kill him. What I did wasn''t excessive, was it?" Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    "How utterly ridiculous. Wan Cuah was just some nobody, what''s the big deal if he''s dead? As for your brother, he can just find a place to heal. It''s not like he''s a girl with scars that can''t be shown, right?" Fire Spark mocked with disdain.


    "But you injured Qong Pear. Don''t you think you owe me an explanation for that?" Fire Spark''s voice suddenly turned harsh as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    Hearing this, many onlookers felt a surge of anger. They were people similar to Wan Cuah. What did he mean by some nobody? Was his nephew human, and others not?

 Chapter 323 - 323 Explanation

    "Bloodstone Pass is really in chaos," Blaze Regret sighed softly.


    "You rogue cultivators should keep a low profile. Offend the wrong people, and you''ll lose your lives sooner or later," Fire Spark sneered, looking at Blaze Regret with contempt.


    "Uncle Fire, stop wasting time with them. Just kill them all!" Qong Pear roared, driven nearly insane by the stares of those around him.


    "Of course," Fire Spark grinned, opening his palm to command his spirit beast to tear Blaze Regret and his companion apart.


    Just as Fire Spark raised his hand, a sudden, sharp whooshing sound came from the sky, followed by several small black shadows swiftly approaching like lightning.


    "Courting death? Don''t they know that high altitude flying is forbidden in Bloodstone Pass?" Fire Spark frowned, planning to report this to Silver Lucas later to deal with these reckless people properly.


    However, he didn''t know that the Blood seal Gate on the inner wall of Bloodstone Pass no longer existed, and Silver Lucas had already met his end at Blaze Regret''s hands.


    "Snap!"


    Several figures leaped down from the backs of flying spirit beasts, astonishing everyone. Leading them was none other than Jack Mana of the Jack Family!


    "What is he doing here? Is he tired of living? Didn''t the lesson from the Blood seal Gate teach them enough?" Fire Spark frowned, but he wasn''t too intimidated by Jack Mana, as his Blazing Flame Flood Dragon had a perfect counter against Jack Mana''s Frost Arrow Spirit.


    "I''m not late, am I, young brother?"


    Stepping forward, Jack Mana cupped his hands respectfully towards Blaze Regret, a gesture that left everyone dumbfounded.


    Could they be seeing things? The head of the Jack family was actually saluting a young man!


    "Master Jack, what are you playing at?" Fire Spark shouted angrily. Had the old man lost his mind, greeting Blaze Regret without even acknowledging him first?


    "Shut up!"


    Turning his head, Jack Mana''s face turned icy as he stomped his foot, releasing a powerful spiritual pressure that forced Fire Spark to stumble backward.


    "An eighth level spirit Imperial master!" S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Feeling the imposing presence Jack Mana unleashed, many people exclaimed in shock. The Jack family, previously at the bottom of the hierarchy in Bloodstone Pass, had produced an eighth level spirit Imperial master!


    "This is impossible!" Fire Spark steadied himself, his face filled with horror. Just a few months ago, Jack Mana had only been a sixth level spirit Imperial master. How could he have advanced so quickly?


    As he noticed Jack Mana''s respectful demeanor toward Blaze Regret, a sense of unease began to swirl wildly in Fire Spark''s heart.


    "Not too late," Blaze Regret nodded slightly. The Jack family''s distance from here wasn''t exactly short, so managing to arrive in such a short time, even on flying spirit beasts, was quite a feat.


    Seeing Blaze Regret nod, Jack Mana breathed a sigh of relief internally.


    During this time, his advancement through the Hundred Spirit Pool had been astonishingly rapid, and there were even higher level light energy entities deep within the pool. At this rate, he would soon become a spirit lord, and one day, he might even touch the realm of the spirit King!


    Thus, he was now utterly devoted to Blaze Regret.


    "How is it possible? How could he summon an eighth level spirit Imperial master!"


    Qong Pear, hanging upside down, was as pale as a ghost, and the previously arrogant Song Qian had a slight tremor at the corners of his mouth, with deep fear filling his eyes.


    Those who had previously spoken up for the Qong brothers were now feeling a chill run down their spines.


    "So what if he''s an eighth level spirit Imperial master? My Blazing Flame Flood Dragon might not necessarily lose to his Frost Arrow Spirit," Fire Spark steadied himself, his face regaining its confident look.


    After all, fire attributes had a strong advantage over ice attributes.


    With a smile on his face, Fire Spark was about to speak when several sharp whistling sounds suddenly came from beyond the outer walls of Bloodstone Pass, accompanied by an elderly voice filled with laughter.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, we finally meet again!"


    An aged laughter echoed across the sky, followed by a fiery red shadow swiftly diving down, accompanied by scorching waves sweeping across the area. It was a giant red eagle, its body covered with fiery armor and its head enveloped in blazing flames, resembling a small burning sun.


    "A Red patterned Eagle?"


    Someone below immediately recognized the flaming giant eagle, and instantly, everyone''s expressions became incredibly varied. Within the entire Bloodstone Pass, only Patel Rong, the head of the Patel Family, possessed such a spirit beast.


    Could it be that Patel Rong had also come to support this young man?


    Thinking of this possibility, many people found it somewhat unbelievable. How influential could this young man be to have the heads of two major families in Bloodstone Pass travel such a distance to support him?


    "Young friend Blaze Regret, as soon as I received your message, I rushed over immediately."


    Patel Rong, smiling broadly, leaped down from the Red patterned Eagle. His spirited face made many people secretly wonder in their hearts. Wasn''t this old man poisoned by the Scarlet Serpent''s venom? Yet now, he showed no signs of being poisoned.


    "Senior Patel, you''re too kind." Blaze Regret smiled faintly, then cast a slightly cold gaze towards Fire Spark.


    "Master Fire, what''s going on here? Could you give me an explanation?" Patel Rong squinted his old eyes, his indifferent voice spreading out.


    Although the Fire family held some weight in Bloodstone Pass, there was still a considerable gap compared to the Patel Family. Thus, from the outset, Patel Rong didn''t show Fire Spark any courtesy and immediately questioned him.


    Upon hearing this, Fire Spark''s face stiffened, and a trace of cold sweat appeared in his palm. Damn it, how did this little brat know people from both the Patel and Jack Family, and even manage to invite both family heads at the same time?

 Chapter 324 - 324 Ill bleed you three hundred times!

    "Young brother, let''s not escalate this matter," Fire Spark said, bracing himself and looking at Blaze Regret, his tone suggesting a desire to turn a major issue into a minor one.


    "Let it go? Who do you think you are, to have the right to say that?" Jack Mana snorted coldly.


    As the head of the Jack family, Jack Mana was certainly not someone known for being kind hearted or lenient. Judging by Blaze Regret''s icy expression, it was clear that Fire Spark had deeply offended him, making it unlikely for the matter to be settled easily.


    "Jack Mana, don''t go too far!" Fire Spark''s eyes flared with anger. If Blaze Regret truly intended to hold him accountable, even if he had nine lives, he would lose them all today.


    After all, Patel Rong was an eighth tier spirit Imperial master, and his Red patterned Eagle could easily tear open the body of a Blazing Flame Flood Dragon with a single claw!


    "So what if I am going too far?" Jack Mana''s lips curled into a sinister smile.


    Over the years, the Jack family had been too quiet in Bloodstone Pass, to the point that the head of the Fire family dared to shout at him. If Fire Spark dared to speak out again, Jack Mana wouldn''t mind reminding everyone in Bloodstone Pass that the Jack family was still a bloodthirsty lion.


    Seemingly understanding Jack Mana''s intentions, Fire Spark''s face turned a deep shade of blue. Just as he was about to muster the courage to shift all the blame onto Blaze Adam, a humid pressure suddenly enveloped him.


    "What audacity, to even dare touch someone from the Blaze family!"


    As the voice sounded, a torrent of spiritual power surged in like a tide. Everyone watched in astonishment as a deep blue giant shark roared in, hovering three feet above the ground.


    This seemed to be a rare water attribute spirit beast.


    Riding on the back of the giant shark, Blaze Wahab was visibly furious. The moment Blaze Adam was captured, he received a voice transmission and immediately informed Blaze Regret.


    But when Blaze Regret recounted Blaze Adam''s ordeal through the voice transmitting shell, the anger in Blaze Wahab''s heart erupted like a long dormant volcano.


    Protecting their own was a natural instinct for every member of the Blaze family.


    "Grand Elder."


    Standing in front of the Qong family''s gate, Blaze Adam felt a wave of emotion as he watched the giant shark approach swiftly. It had been at least two years since he last had contact with the Blaze family members.


    "How did it come to this?" Fire Spark''s lips trembled as he realized how foolish it was to stand up for the Qong brothers today. Not only would he face the Patel and Jack Family'' wrath, but even the Blaze family from distant Velorian City was descending upon them in anger.


    Throughout the entire Bloodstone Pass, apart from the Blood Seal Gate, there has yet to be a force capable of standing against the Blaze family!


    "Blaze Wahab?" Patel Rong and Jack Mana were surprised to see Blaze Wahab leap down from the giant shark. Since the establishment of Bloodstone Pass, no family had been willing to completely sever ties with any of its powers!


    This is because once someone from Bloodstone Pass is killed, it becomes incredibly difficult for that family to maintain a foothold there. All factions, regardless of size, would unite in opposition.


    They initially thought Blaze Regret had only called them for support, but they didn''t expect the Blaze family to also join in.


    "Younger friend..." Patel Rong and Jack Mana looked at Blaze Regret, hesitating slightly.


    Being far away, they were unaware that the Blood Seal Gate and the Stun Family were nearly wiped out. They weren''t too concerned about the Stun Family, but the Blood Seal Gate still intimidated them.


    "The Blood Seal Gate and the Stun Family are no more," Blaze Regret said softly. Yet, to Patel Rong and Jack Mana, the words struck like thunder from the sky, leaving them momentarily stunned.


    The Blood Seal Gate and the Stun Family were really gone?


    The information contained in those few words left them bewildered.


    When they regained their senses, they swallowed in disbelief. Could it be that this young man was behind it all?


    "Blaze Adam, I''m right here. Do whatever you need to do. If anyone dares to stop you, I''ll be the first to deal with them!" Blaze Wahab''s face was filled with immense anger as he looked at the scars on Blaze Adam''s torn clothes.


    With a cold smile, Blaze Adam clenched his hand, and a dark dagger formed from spiritual power appeared in his grip, its edges glistening with a chilling light.


    "What are you going to do?"


    Qong Pian shouted in terror as Blaze Adam approached, retreating repeatedly in fear.


    "Younger brother, must you be so aggressive?" Fire Spark called out urgently, but the water sphere forming in Blaze Wahab''s palm caused him to shut his mouth in terror immediately.


    "You mentioned earlier that you drained Wan Cuah''s blood three times, right?"


    With a sinister smile, Blaze Adam raised the dark dagger in his hand and, with a powerful step, charged towards the terrified Qong Pian. "Then today, I''ll bleed you three hundred times!"


    "Swish!"


    The sharp dagger traced an eerie arc and struck directly at Qong Pian''s abdomen. Instantly, a piercing scream erupted as a thin line of blood spurted out.


    The scream was hair raising, yet no one dared to intervene. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In fact, many people breathed a sigh of relief. They were the kind who, like Wan Cuah, often suffered under the oppression of these families, so seeing Qong Pian face retribution was immensely satisfying.


    The dense cold gleam flickered around Qong Pian, and as he felt his body being torn apart, an uncontrollable fear surged within him.


    "Clang!"


    With a flick of his hand, Blaze Adam drove the dark dagger into the ground and panted heavily. Behind him, Qong Pian''s body was covered in scars, both large and small, leaving his body in tatters.

 Chapter 325 - 325 Despair

    "Brother, I''m sending him down to accompany you."


    A trace of sadness flickered in Blaze Adam''s eyes as he gently pressed his hand against Qong Pian''s chest.


    "Splash!"


    As Blaze Adam''s hand landed, the blood lines on Qong Pian''s body sprayed out like a fountain, and the sight of hundreds of blood lines flying was enough to send a chill down many people''s spines.


    Watching Qong Pian''s gruesome demise, Qong Pear''s eyes trembled. Retribution, it seemed, had finally arrived.


    "Uncle Fire, save me!" Qong Pear desperately cast his gaze towards Fire Spark, shouting in terror. His face was twisted with fear.


    With an unsettled expression, Fire Spark glanced at Patel Rong and the others, letting out a long sigh.


    "Young man, this is your conflict. I won''t get involved. Farewell." Fire Spark waved his sleeve and turned to leave, knowing that staying any longer would only drag himself into the mess.


    As Fire Spark showed signs of retreating, many people exchanged glances. Was this a sign of him backing down?


    Seeing Fire Spark swiftly turn his back, Qong Pear''s face turned pale, filled with infinite despair.


    "Stop, did I say you could leave?" Blaze Regret''s cold voice sounded softly as his eyes narrowed slightly.


    "What more do you want?" Fire Spark turned back angrily. Haven''t I given you enough face already? You''re just a wretch relying on external forces, do you really think you''re something?


    If it weren''t for Patel Rong and the others, you would already be a dead man!


    "You and some people from the Fire family pursued me. Have you forgotten?"


    Taking a step forward, Blaze Adam viciously pulled open his shirt, revealing skin burned and torn by flames, causing many to shiver.


    This injury should be fatal, right?


    "Such a trivial matter, do you need to hold onto it?"


    Fire Spark sneered, pulling out a bag of gold coins from the Void realm stone and throwing it at Blaze Adam''s feet, mocking, "A grown man holding grudges so well, aren''t you just trying to rob me? Here''s a thousand gold coins for you."


    Hearing Fire Spark''s dismissive words, Blaze Adam''s heart surged with anger. It''s easy for you to say, but I''ve been tortured by this burning pain for nearly a month, almost dying several times!


    After throwing his mocking words, Fire Spark turned away again, considering that offering Blaze Adam some compensation was already a great favor.


    However, just as he turned, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Blaze Regret coldly stared at Fire Spark, his right foot, engulfed in scorching flames, ruthlessly kicked his chest.


    "Boom!"


    Under this heavy blow, Fire Spark was sent flying backward, his bulky body hitting the ground with a fierce tremor.


    "Ah!"


    Lying on the ground, Fire Spark suddenly let out a cry of pain as pale yellow flames rapidly burned on his chest, filling the air with a charred smell.


    In just a moment, the scorching flames had burned his chest, leaving it raw and blistered.


    "I''ll kill you!" Fire Spark roared in fury, rolling on the ground until he gathered all his spiritual energy at his chest, forming a barrier to finally expel the flames.


    Struggling to stand, Fire Spark glared at Blaze Regret with murderous intent, the pain in his chest feeling as if it were about to explode.


    "For such a trivial matter, a thousand gold coins should settle it. Is it worth developing a murderous heart?" Blaze Regret smirked, his words making Fire Spark tremble with rage.


    From a distance, Patel Rong and Jack Mana watched Fire Spark with amused smiles, mocking him openly.


    "Patel family, Jack family, you''ve done well!"


    Fire Spark cast a venomous glance at Patel Rong and Jack Mana. "As family of Bloodstone Pass, you actually help outsiders. Once I inform the Stun and Silver families, you''ll be in trouble."


    With that, Fire Spark took out a sound transmitting shell from the Void realm stone, angrily sending out several messages. However, apart from a response from the Silver family, there was no reaction from the Stun family''s sound transmitting mark.


    "It seems your influence, Fire Spark, isn''t quite enough," Jack Mana sneered, now fully believing that both the Blood Seal Gate and the Stun family no longer existed.


    "Hmph." Fire Spark collected the sound transmitting shell, glaring angrily at Patel Rong and Jack Mana, thinking to himself that he had secretly sent someone to notify the Stun family and the Blood Seal Gate, and that both families would soon face their misfortune.


    "Did you send someone to the Stun family and the Blood Seal Gate for reinforcements?" Blaze Regret asked with a smile.


    "So what if I did?" Fire Spark sneered.


    "I have some good news for you: neither of those forces exist in Bloodstone Pass anymore," Blaze Regret said with a slight smirk, causing a stir among those around.


    Even within the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass, with nearly a million residents, such major news was still largely unknown.


    "You say they''re gone, and so they are? Who do you think you are?" Fire Spark scoffed dismissively. Anyone can make baseless claims, but he''d never seen anyone boast as brazenly as Blaze Regret.


    Watching Fire Spark''s arrogant demeanor, Blaze Adam''s eyes turned cold, wondering how long he could maintain that expression.


    "The Walker family''s people are coming."


    Suddenly, someone pointed to the distance, where several figures were swiftly approaching. Leading them was none other than the great elder of the Walker family, Walker Sin.


    "Ha!" Fire Spark''s face lit up with delight at the sight, his malicious gaze discreetly sweeping over Blaze Regret and the others. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Let''s see how long you can keep up your bravado!


    "Elder Walker," Fire Spark greeted Walker Sin, his face plastered with a flattering smile.


    "My young friend, we meet again."


    However, Walker Sin acted as if he didn''t see Fire Spark at all, passing right by him and stopping in front of Blaze Regret, a broad smile on his face as he clasped his hands in respect.

 Chapter 326 - 326 Choice

    Seeing this, the smile on Fire Spark''s face froze instantly.


    "And you, why are you back again?" Blaze Regret said with mock annoyance, glancing at Walker Adam, who was standing beside Walker Sin.


    "Brother Blaze, I did as you instructed and got the Walker family to evacuate quickly. Sure enough, that scoundrel Silver Lucas caused us trouble as soon as he emerged from the Black Abyss," Walker Adam said with a sheepish grin.


    Not long ago, when he heard of Silver Lucas''s death, Walker Adam found it hard to believe. It wasn''t until he saw the ruins with his own eyes that he could finally accept the fact.


    The oppressive mountain that was the Blood Seal Gate had finally collapsed!


    "This can''t be true!" Fire Spark''s face turned pale. How did the Walker family know this young man? He suddenly felt like he''d lifted a rock only to drop it on his own foot.


    "Fire Spark, you dare provoke anyone, haven''t you lived long enough?" Walker Sin sneered, waving his hand as a battered cross blade shot into the ground in front of Fire Spark''s feet.


    Staring at the cracked cross blade, Fire Spark''s heart surged with turmoil as he recalled Blaze Regret''s previous bold statements.


    The Stun family and the Blood Seal Gate were finished...


    "Brother Blaze, why go to so much trouble? Why not just kill him?" Walker Adam pointed at Fire Spark, causing cold sweat to instantly form on Fire Spark''s forehead.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret merely smiled, while Patel Rong and Jack Mana rapidly turned over thoughts in their minds.


    They weren''t naive enough to think Blaze Regret invited them merely to watch Fire Spark make a fool of himself. Clearly, Blaze Regret was using this opportunity to give them a warning.


    "Young friend Blaze Regret, from now on, the Patel family will take care of the Blaze Family''s business in Bloodstone Pass. The Blaze Family''s matters are my matters," Patel Rong said, clasping his hands solemnly.


    "From now on, if anyone dares to touch the Blaze Family in Bloodstone Pass, I''ll be the first to oppose it," Jack Mana quickly added. As an eighth level spirit Imperial master, he had the confidence to make such a statement.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret smiled faintly, knowing that half of his goal to intimidate the two families was accomplished.


    "However, that''s still far from enough."


    Turning his gaze to Fire Spark, a subtle smile curved at the corner of Blaze Regret''s lips.


    Under the scrutiny of many hostile gazes, Fire Spark involuntarily shivered. Not to mention Patel Rong and Jack Mana, even Blaze Wahab from the Blaze family was beyond his ability to contend with. Any one of these people could easily overwhelm him.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, allow me to handle this person for you," Patel Rong said with a faint smile. The fiery red striped eagle, blazing with intense flames, swooped down with a whoosh, its icy cold eyes fixed intently on Fire Spark''s Blazing Flame Flood Dragon.

    "Heh, a fire attribute spirit beast. My Ice Arrow Spirit might not fear it," Jack Mana remarked, waving his hand as delicate snowflakes drifted upwards, revealing the graceful figure of the Ice Arrow Spirit.


    Watching the two eighth tier Imperial grade spirit beasts, many people silently mourned for Fire Spark. Neither the red striped eagle nor the Ice Arrow Spirit were simple opponents.


    Fire Spark was doomed!


    His chest heaving rapidly, Fire Spark''s legs felt weak. Regret surged in his heart. If he had known it would come to this, why did he bother with the lives of the Qong brothers?


    "Master Fire, perhaps I can offer you two choices," Blaze Regret said with a smile.


    "What choices?" Fire Spark trembled inside, but still held a sliver of hope that Blaze Regret might spare him.


    "First, I kill you. Second, I cripple you," Blaze Regret replied with a smile that concealed a sharp edge. Fire Spark had injured Blaze Adam so severely; there was no reason to let him off.


    "You''re playing with me!"


    Hope shattered in his heart, Fire Spark erupted in a fit of rage. "You''re just bullying me with your power. Without these helpers, you wouldn''t even be qualified to lick my shoes. In the end, you''re just a petty man who got lucky!"


    "Courting death!"


    Hearing Fire Spark insult Blaze Regret so brazenly, Blaze Wahab''s face turned slightly cold. Beside him, the ferocious toothed shark opened its massive mouth, quickly brewing a crystalline energy water column within.


    "Grand Elder, leave it to me," Blaze Regret said with a nod and smile to Blaze Wahab. Seeing this, the latter snorted coldly, causing the shark to close its mouth.


    "Hit a sore spot, didn''t I? Does it feel good to rely on others'' power? If you''ve got the guts, have them all attack me at once," Fire Spark taunted sarcastically, as if certain that Blaze Regret would fall for his provocation.


    "What do you want then?" Blaze Regret asked, arms crossed, smiling calmly at Fire Spark.


    "We go one on one. If you lose, you let me go!" Fire Spark''s cheeks quivered slightly, a hint of delight flashing in his eyes, as if he had seized his last lifeline.


    "Don''t you think that''s rather foolish? You''re in my hands now. Whether I kill or spare you is up to me, so what right do you have to make demands?" Blaze Regret''s indifferent tone carried a hint of mockery.


    "Heh, aren''t you just all talk? People with no real ability always make excuses," Fire Spark continued to taunt, hoping to provoke Blaze Regret into a fight and thus secure his survival. At worst, he could leave Bloodstone Pass later.


    "Are you sure?"


    Blaze Regret smirked slightly, spreading his hand open. Four spirit portals of different colors rapidly formed in the air, looking quite magnificent.


    "A Four Source Spirit Imperial Master!"


    The crowd, as if seeing a ghost, was filled with astonishment. Were they dreaming? This young man was actually a Four Source Spirit Imperial Master!

 Chapter 327 - 327 Also Have Flame Breath

    Standing behind Blaze Regret, Patel Rong and the others were equally shocked. They knew Blaze Regret was strong, but never imagined he was a Four source Spirit Imperial Master, something unheard of in the entire Sun Moon Empire!


    "Whoosh!"


    From the fiery red spirit Portal, Red leaped out, pale yellow fire swirling around its claws, sending waves of heat rippling across the ground.


    "A seventh tier high level Imperial grade spirit beast!" The crowd exclaimed in awe, and sympathetic gazes turned to Fire Spark. His arrogance had finally met its match.


    "Roar!"


    With Fire Spark''s face turning grim, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros slowly stepped forward, its fists emitting a terrifying force that even caused the surrounding air to distort slightly. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "A ninth tier high level Imperial Grade spirit beast!" Fire Spark was utterly horrified. How could this be possible? How could this bastard possess such a powerful spirit beast?


    "Ding!"


    The chilling cold filled the area in front of the Qong family gate, suppressing even the aura of the Ice Arrow Spirit for a moment.


    The Ice Control Irenix hovering in mid air left Patel Rong and the others dazzled; they couldn''t discern the strength of this spirit beast at all!


    A sound like a hiss emanated as the Ethereal Lotus tugged at Blaze Regret''s clothes, her jewel like eyes gently blinking with an expectant expression.


    However, no one dared to underestimate this adorable spirit beast. Although they couldn''t gauge Ethereal Lotus''s exact strength, they were certain that even the ice type spirit beast circling above couldn''t compare to this terrifying creature!


    "Two lord level spirit beasts," Patel Rong and Jack Mana exchanged glances, then shook their heads with wry smiles. The shocks brought by Blaze Regret, one after another, had finally convinced them completely.


    Blaze Regret alone was equivalent to two spirit Lord master level powerhouses!


    "How could this happen..."


    Fire Spark''s legs trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned ashen. He finally realized just how foolish his earlier provocations had been. This young man was even more formidable than Patel Rong and the others combined!


    Dangling upside down, Qong Pear watched Blaze Regret''s back, feeling his mouth go dry. Remembering his earlier threats to Blaze Regret, his mind spun, and he nearly fainted.


    "Always thinking about food."


    Lowering his head, Blaze Regret placed a spirit fruit in Ethereal Lotus''s hand, then looked up with a gentle smile: "Master Fire, to prevent anyone from saying I''m bullying you, feel free to choose any one of these four spirit beasts."


    Upon hearing this, Fire Spark''s smile was even more pitiful than a cry. Even the weakest of them, the Flame Cat, was more formidable than his Blazing Flame Flood Dragon!


    "Then that one," Fire Spark said, his finger trembling as he pointed to the Red.


    "Oh?"


    Blaze Regret smiled, his gaze, softened somewhat, falling on the Red: "It seems you''ve been underestimated."


    With a slightly annoyed expression, the Red lowered its body briefly before suddenly charging forward. Its claws, burning with pale yellow flames, slashed fiercely toward the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, leaving three distinct claw marks in the air with the scorching wind it stirred up.


    "Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, Flame Breath!"


    As the Red rushed forward, a look of exhilarated laughter suddenly appeared on Fire Spark''s face, casting aside his previous facade of fear. This was the moment he had been waiting for!


    The Blazing Flame Flood Dragon''s spirit skill, Flame Breath, could instantly elevate its combat power by one tier!


    Originally, Fire Spark was a wood element spirit master, but upon encountering the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, he abandoned his wood element identity to become a makeshift fire element spirit master.


    All for the sake of the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, which possessed the Flame Breath spirit skill!


    "A spirit skill, Flame Breath, is it?" Blaze Regret chuckled, realizing that this was Fire Spark''s trump card.


    The Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, a sixth tier advanced Imperial grade spirit beast, has a pair of massive fiery wings on its back. With a sudden flap, three crimson streams of light swirl around its body. As these streams appear, its aura surges significantly, barely comparable even to a first tier seventh level advanced Imperial grade spirit beast.


    "Kid, you''re too inexperienced." Fire Spark sneered inwardly. From what seemed like a certain death situation, he managed to carve out a way to survive, giving him a sense of superiority.


    "Hiss!"


    With a gentle tremor of its fiery wings, the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon swiftly ascends several meters. Its sharp, flame tinged claws sweep across its belly, scattering a few fiery scales.


    Looking down at the Red, the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon''s eyes turn icy. From its open maw, a crimson flame beam suddenly shoots out, piercing through the air, hurtling downward like lightning.


    With a slight squint, the Red remains motionless, allowing the formidable flame beam to envelop it from above.


    "Boom!"


    The beam crashes down upon the Red''s head, rapidly spreading out. The scorching flame energy whirls around the Red like a sphere, emitting terrifying waves that make many people twitch at the corners of their eyes.


    Even some seventh tier Imperial grade spirit beasts would be reduced to ashes under this spiritual technique.


    "Die for me!" Fire Spark''s face twisted with ferocity. If the Red perished, he would have a chance to survive.


    As the crimson flame energy sphere gradually dissipates, Fire Spark''s pupils suddenly contract.


    In the center of the deep pit, the Red stands silently, with three faint yellow streams of light swirling around it. The Blazing Flame Flood Dragon''s full force attack hadn''t left a single injury on it!


    "Flame Breath!" Fire Spark''s face turned extremely grim. He hadn''t expected Blae Regret''s Threr Tail Sun Blaze Cat to also possess the Flame Breath spiritual technique!


    "Even without using Flame Breath, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat could still slay the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, but I really don''t want to waste any more time," Blaze Regret said calmly.

 Chapter 328 - 328 We Meet Again

    "Roar!"


    With a slight bend of its knees, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat leaped into the air, transforming into a blazing fire meteor, charging towards the air borne Blazing Flame Flood Dragon like a thunderbolt.


    "Dodge!" Fire Spark shouted urgently.


    With a cold gaze fixed on the approaching Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat swung its claws continuously. Four sharp rings of fire spikes materialized out of thin air, leaving afterimages in the air as they viciously slashed towards the dragon.


    Sensing the fierce aura emitted by the fire spike rings, the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon quickly descended. Instantly, the four rings intersected above it, tearing through the air and leaving visible cracks in their wake.


    Barely having time to feel relieved, the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon suddenly remembered something, and a deep fear flashed in its eyes. The face of the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat abruptly appeared before it.


    "Swish!" Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A sharp red light flashed by as the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat darted past the side of the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, landing lightly on the ground. Its Cats claws were tinged with traces of blood.


    "Slash!"


    Blood sprayed forth, and the left fiery wing of the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon split apart from the middle, falling downward. The severed edge was smooth as a mirror.


    "Hiss!"


    The dragon let out a painful cry as it plummeted like a kite with a broken string, leaving a long trail of blood in the air from its severed left wing.


    Watching the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon crash to the ground, Fire Spark trembled all over. It was a swift and decisive one hit kill!


    "Swish!"


    At the moment the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon hit the ground, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat leaped up, its sharp right claw engulfed in pale yellow searing flames, piercing fiercely into the dragon''s head. The dreadful wailing that filled the area was instantly silenced.


    "This Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat is exceptionally strong, both in talent and power," Patel Rong remarked gravely. Although his Crimson Patterned Eagle could also slay the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon, doing it as swiftly and cleanly as the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat would be quite challenging.


    "Roar!"


    Withdrawing its right claw from the dragon''s head, Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat let out a sudden cry. The three flame streams that were swirling around the Blazing Flame Flood Dragon merged into one, revolving around its body. Although the light appeared dim, its power subtly increased in that moment!


    "Flame Breath has broken through?" Blaze Regret was astonished to see the fourth pale yellow stream of light. He hadn''t expected that breaking through the Flame Breath required absorbing the Flame Breath technique from other spirit beasts. No wonder there had been no progress with this powerful technique for the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat over the years.


    Though the enhancement from Flame Breath would be less significant after reaching the lord level, if it could consolidate a fourth flame stream, it could advance another tier! It''s important to know that each tier difference at the lord level is enormous!


    Cursing bitterly in his mind, Fire Spark, filled with terror, turned to flee. Blaze Regret''s strength had left an indelible mark on his heart.


    "Swish!"


    Without even sparing a glance, Blaze Regret flicked his wrist. A sharp ice shard blade, glowing with a faint blue light, shot through the air and pierced Fire Spark''s throat in an instant.


    Seeing Fire Spark fall, Qong Pear''s terror reached its peak. If he could choose again, he would rather have killed Qong Pian the moment Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam entered the Qong family.


    "Next, it''s your turn," Blaze Adam approached Qong Pear with a sinister grin, his black dagger reflecting a dangerously sharp glint under the sunlight.


    The cold gleam made Qong Pear''s eyes squint tightly, his soul nearly slipping away as his suspended body struggled wildly.


    "Boom!"


    Just as Blaze Adam''s black dagger was about to strike, a vast wave of spiritual power suddenly swept in from the sky. Everyone within the inner walls of Bloodstone Pass paused, staring in horror at the raging tornado sweeping overhead.


    Within the pitch black tornado was a massive bat. On its forehead was a clear, transparent mirror like surface, and a thin, peculiar long tail swung behind its body.


    This was the Phantom Mirror Bat, a mid tier Imperial grade spirit beast with a dark attribute.


    The energy emanating from this Phantom Mirror Bat had astonishingly reached the eighth tier!


    "Whoosh!"


    After circling the top of the Qong family estate, the Phantom Mirror Bat slowly came to a halt. Its wings flapped, stirring up gusts of wind. Standing proudly on its back was an old man in black, and behind him were Stun Zen and Stun Inder!


    "You little brat, we meet again."


    Gazing down with a sinister look, Stun Zen fixed his eyes on Blaze Regret, a deeply malicious smile spreading across his face. Beside him, Stun Inder also looked on with a mocking expression.


    The enormous Phantom Mirror Bat hovered in mid air, emanating a powerful aura that caused many on the ground to feel their breathing slightly obstructed.


    An eighth tier intermediate lord grade spirit beast, this was a realm they could hardly reach!


    "This..."


    Staring at the massive shadow overhead, Patel Rong and Jack Mana were stunned for quite a while before recovering from their shock. Their faces showed a hint of concern, as the sudden appearance of the black robed elder was clearly targeting Blaze Regret.


    "Karma, it''s all karma!" Qong Pear laughed heartily, without needing to think, knowing that Blaze Regret was certainly in trouble next.


    "Shut up."


    A cold glint flashed in Blaze Adam''s eyes as the dagger in his hand traced an arc, stabbing into Qong Pear''s throat with a squelch, freezing the smile on his face instantly.


    "Young man, were you the one who messed with my Five Demon Hall people?"

 Chapter 329 - 329 Greed

    Standing on the Phantom Mirror Bat''s back, the black robed elder looked down upon Blaze Regret condescendingly, his voice rich with accusation.


    "Five Demon Hall?"


    Hearing this voice, the surroundings became chaotic, and deep fear appeared in everyone''s eyes. This elder was actually from Five Demon Hall!


    Rumor had it that Five Demon Hall had five elders, each incredibly powerful, and their Hall lord, Mut kui, had even stepped into the half King realm, with a chance to become a true King realm powerhouse in his lifetime!


    "King Realm, huh." Blaze Regret sighed slightly upon hearing the surrounding whispers. A King Realm powerhouse was a formidable presence even in the empire''s center. Who would have thought that the Stun family''s head, Stun Zen, could be connected to Five Demon Hall?


    "Aren''t you going to kneel down and accept your death quickly!" Stun Inder, with a proud tilt of his chin, loudly berated Blaze Regret.


    "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Blaze. If there''s an issue, direct it at my Walker Family!" Walker Adam gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at the people on the Phantom Mirror Bat''s back.


    Blaze Regret''s conflict with the Stun family was entirely to stand up for the Walker Family; otherwise, he wouldn''t have drawn such trouble.


    "Sigh." Walker Sin sighed, shaking his head. The Walker Family had struggled to survive for so long, but was it finally facing its demise?


    "My young friend, the Walker Family has burdened you." Walker Sin turned to Blaze Regret, his voice filled with deep apology.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret was visibly taken aback. He had always thought this old fellow was just a fair weather friend, never expecting him to show such understanding.


    "Heh, the Walker Family, huh." S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The black robed elder, with his hands behind his back, smiled faintly: "Don''t worry, after today, Bloodstone Pass won''t have this family. It''s surprising that Patel Rong, Swith Mark, and Star Megami couldn''t deal with you even together."


    Upon hearing this, Patel Rong''s body trembled slightly, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, his hand began to shake uncontrollably.


    "So it was you!" Patel Rong''s eyes burned with anger. No wonder Swith Mark and Star Megami, two second tier spirit Imperial masters, were willing to lower themselves to come to the Patel family. It was all to eliminate him, the head of the Patel family.


    "Five Demon Hall has quite the ambition." Jack Mana''s face darkened. At that moment, he finally realized that the decline of the Jack Family and the destruction of several other families were all orchestrated by Five Demon Hall from behind the scenes. The immense resources of Bloodstone Pass had even tempted Mut kui, a powerhouse with one foot in the King realm.


    "It seems you''re not entirely foolish." The black robed elder wore a gentle smile as his gaze swept over Bloodstone Pass. The sight of the buildings and marketplaces made an intense greed appear on his aged face.


    This juicy morsel was finally about to fall into the hands of Five Demon Hall.


    "Young man, among these people, I suppose you are the strongest," the black robed elder said with a smile, casting his gaze toward Blaze Regret.


    Blaze Regret looked at the black robed elder expressionlessly, letting out a silent sigh in his heart. The eighth tier intermediate lord grade Phantom Mirror Bat was simply beyond his ability to contend with.


    "Master Magi, after watching the spectacle for so long, are you really going to stand by and watch me get bullied?"


    Shifting his gaze slightly, Blaze Regret looked at the void realm stone at his waist, and a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    "I didn''t expect you to notice."


    The laugh that echoed in his mind brought a warm smile to Blaze Regret''s handsome face. This voice, long absent, sounded unexpectedly familiar.


    From the moment he emerged from the Dark Abyss, he sensed signs of Master Magi awakening. So even with the menacing approach of the Phantom Mirror Bat, his eyes never showed the slightest hint of panic.


    "Just an eighth tier spirit lord grade, daring to touch my disciple."


    Master Magi let out a soft snort. As his figure was about to materialize in front of Blaze Regret, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and he suddenly withdrew.


    "Master Magi, what are you doing?" Blaze Regret was baffled, feeling as though his punch had landed on soft cotton due to Master Magi''s actions.


    "Young one, it''s not yet the right time for me to make an appearance. Rest assured, none of you will die today," Master Magi''s soft, reassuring voice sounded, then fell silent once more.


    "You dare to ignore me!"


    In mid air, the black robed elder glared down at Blaze Regret, his old face filled with simmering anger. A seventh tier spirit Imperial master dared not even bow his head under his pressure, which made him exceedingly furious.


    "Old Mu, this little brat is quite arrogant. He once said that the insignificant Five Demon Hall means nothing to him," Stun Zen sneered, adding fuel to the fire.


    Upon hearing this, the black robed elder''s expression grew even darker.


    "Is that so? Then he must be really something!"


    The black robed elder let out a sinister laugh, gently stomping on the Phantom Mirror Bat as he coldly said, "In that case, let''s start with him."


    Following the elder''s command, the Phantom Mirror Bat''s wings fluttered lightly, and a vast spiritual power quickly surged towards the smooth mirror on its forehead, making the entire mirror become incredibly profound.


    "Swish!"


    With a flash of light from the mirror, a dark energy beam shot out instantly, causing explosions in the air and echoing loudly in everyone''s ears.


    "Brother Blaze, run!" Walker Adam gritted his teeth, stepping forward. Dragging Blaze Regret into this mess already made him feel guilty, and if Blaze Regret lost his life over Walker''s family matters, Walker Adam would live with regret for the rest of his life.

 Chapter 330 - 330 Young Master?

    Moreover, he might not survive the day himself.


    "You really think you''ve latched onto some big shot? A loser will always be a loser," Stun Inder sneered, glancing disdainfully at Walker Adam. After Blaze Regret''s death, Walker Adam would be next.


    "Get out of the way!"


    Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with determination as a blue tortoise shell began rotating in front of Walker Adam. The hardness of the Mystic Tortoise Armor should be enough to withstand a blow from the Phantom Mirror Bat.


    "Boom!"


    However, just as the dark beam swept through the air, a massive wind blade suddenly roared in, shattering the beam to pieces instantly.


    "That was close, looks like we made it just in time."


    The sharp azure wind blade, after shattering the assault of the Phantom Mirror Bats, traced a huge semicircular arc, whistling back and finally hovering above a palm, slowly rotating.


    This sudden scene startled everyone, and soon their astonished gazes converged in the sky.


    There, a handsome young man smiled down below, with a gentle expression on his face.


    With narrowed eyes, the black robed elder gazed at the young man, gradually revealing a look of shock. A drop of cold sweat uncontrollably slid down from his forehead.


    "Spirit¡­ Spirit Sovereign¡­" the black robed elder stammered, struggling to utter a word after a long pause.


    Fixating on the young man, Blaze Regret''s eyes were also slightly shaken. Beneath the young man''s feet, a spiraling vortex of spirit energy was rapidly rotating.


    The manifestation of spirit energy as a vortex is a symbol of a Spirit Sovereign''s power!


    When a Spirit Master reaches the level of Spirit Sovereign, they can gather the spirit energy within their body beneath their feet, enabling them to float in the air. Even the spirit beasts within their spirit portals can achieve this.


    The term "Spirit Sovereign," heavy with meaning, left everyone present momentarily stunned.


    It is known that Spirit King realm experts are already rare to encounter, let alone the even more powerful realm of Spirit Sovereigns!


    "Senior, I don''t know where I have offended you," the black robed elder came back to his senses and quickly bowed, cupping his hands in respect towards the young man.


    Although there was a significant age gap between them, making it seem somewhat ridiculous for the elder to address him as "senior," no one present showed any signs of mockery.


    Strength commands respect; this is almost a consensus in the entire Spirit Master community. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "You have not offended me."


    The young man''s gentle laughter allowed the black robed elder to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next words quickly made his heart leap with tension: "However, you almost killed the young sect master of the Jue Emperor sect."


    "The... young sect master of the Jue Emperor sect?"


    The black robed elder lifted his head, hastily explaining, "Senior, I have been staying in the Five Demon Hall all along, and today is my first time out. There must be some misunderstanding between us."


    "Hehe."


    The young man chuckled softly. Suddenly, the space behind him twisted, and dozens of figures with indifferent expressions appeared abruptly. Behind each of them were large, magnificent wings that flapped elegantly.


    "Spirit King!"


    This visually impactful scene drew the attention of all the Spirit Masters at Bloodstone Pass. From afar, dozens of colorful beams stood between heaven and earth, dazzlingly brilliant.


    Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the sky, Blaze Regret''s mouth went dry. Even in the entire Sun Moon Empire, there were only about a few dozen Spirit King experts. No wonder Master Magi always said that the world he was encountering was incredibly small.


    "Wait, are they from the Jue Emperor sect?" Blaze Regret''s heart stirred, and he cast a gaze full of surprise and doubt towards Walker Adam.


    Could it be that the young sect master the man spoke of was him?


    "Divine Eye Technique, ah. It''s been years since anyone successfully cultivated this spiritual art in the Jue Emperor sect."


    The young man hovered in the air and sighed softly. Then, his gaze, still carrying a smile, shifted to Walker Adam: "Forgive my impudence, but could you possibly demonstrate your spiritual art?"


    Somewhat entranced, Walker Adam nodded almost reflexively. A crack appeared on his forehead, and a vertical eye of purple and crimson hues emerged from within the fissure.


    "It truly is the Divine Eye Technique!"


    When the dozens of indifferent Spirit King experts saw the vertical eye between Walker Adam''s forehead, their eyes immediately filled with intense joy, and the spiritual energy in the world seemed to ripple at that moment.


    "Young Sect Master!"


    The young man''s eyes quivered slightly, and he immediately bowed respectfully. The Spirit King experts behind him quickly followed suit. This scene left everyone at Bloodstone Pass in a state of shock.


    The weakest among them was a Spirit King expert, not to mention there was also a Spirit Sovereign. Yet, they were showing such great respect to a mere member of the Walker Family?


    "This is impossible!" Stun Inder''s face lost its color. She slapped her cheeks hard, only to be horrified to find that this was not a dream.


    "Have you mistaken me for someone else?" Walker Adam''s mind was in a daze. As the person involved, he was just as shocked as anyone else.


    "Of course not."


    The young man lifted his head and smiled softly, "The Jue Emperor sect has a tradition: anyone who successfully cultivates the Divine Eye Technique is automatically appointed as the Young Sect Master. This position has been vacant for many years."


    "But my Walker Family has been rooted in Bloodstone Pass for a long time and has no connection with the Jue Emperor sect," Walker Adam thought, though he was pleasantly surprised. Still, he remained cautious, as a misunderstanding could lead to a significant predicament.


    "In truth, this is an oversight of the Jue Emperor sect."


    The young man''s smile gradually faded, replaced by a hint of bitternes s.

 Chapter 331 - 331 Wrongful Judgment

    "Several hundred years ago, due to a wrongful judgment within the sect, the Fourth Elder Walker Shafik was unjustly expelled and had his spirit portal abolished. Elder Walker Shafik, broken and desolate, came to Bloodstone Pass, which led to the establishment of the Walker Family."

    "I see." Walker Adam was silent, realizing why the Walker Family genealogy could only be traced back four generations.


    "This is all a misunderstanding, senior. If there''s nothing else, I shall take my leave," the black robed elder said, his scalp tingling with fear as he now realized the caliber of people he had offended.


    Behind him, Stun Zen and Stun Inder were also filled with fear. The seemingly insignificant Walker Family actually had such a formidable power supporting them. Had they known this earlier, they wouldn''t have dared to make a move against the Walker Family, even if they had been given more courage.


    "Do you think you can come and go as you please? It''s not that simple."


    The young man''s face turned slightly indifferent, and his cold voice emanated from his mouth: "Walker Kandi."


    "Swish!"


    As his words fell, the Spirit King expert named Walker Kandi behind him slowly raised his palm. A faint purple spiritual array appeared in front of him, and then a purple shadow shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.


    "Get out of here!"


    Sensing the powerful aura whistling towards them, the black robed elder was terrified. Without a second thought, he jumped off the back of the Phantom Mirror Bat, just as the purple shadow landed on its back.


    "Swish!"


    With only a momentary pause, the purple shadow began to weave around the Phantom Mirror Bat, creating sharp purple beams that rapidly flickered, forming a dazzling net of light.


    As they watched the net of light, the black robed elder and his companions, who had landed on the ground, were struck with terror and lost their color.


    A purple shadow darted around the Phantom Mirror Bat at a dizzying speed. Moments later, it flashed in front of the Phantom Mirror Bat, revealing its true appearance to everyone. It was a spirit beast resembling a cat, with soft fur and enchanting emerald green eyes. Its arms were slender and extraordinarily long, ending in razor sharp claws that gleamed with a chilling light.


    "Swish!"


    As the cat like spirit beast departed, the Phantom Mirror Bat with its black wings suddenly shrank its pupils. With a squelch, its flesh burst apart, and the clear mirror on its forehead cracked, shattering into countless dazzling fragments.


    In the sky, the massive body of the Phantom Mirror Bat was reduced to nothing but a snow white skeleton! And not a trace of blood remained on those bones!


    "Boom!"


    With the return of the purple spirit beast, the gleaming white bones fell to the ground, creating a deep pit and raising a cloud of dust.


    "How could this be?" Stun Inder trembled. In her heart, the Phantom Mirror Bat was an extremely powerful spirit beast, yet in a mere instant, it was stripped down to bare bones.


    "Go forth!"


    Smiling at the black robed elder and his companions, the young man flicked his fingers, sending the azure wind blade shooting forth. It first slashed across Stun Inder''s chest, whose face was filled with terror, then spun around, splitting Stun Zen and the black robed elder''s bodies apart.


    "Hmm?"


    Catching the returning wind blade, a trace of surprise crossed the young man''s face. He glanced into the distance, then moved to stand before Walker Adam, saying with a smile.


    "Young master, let''s head back. The commotion here seems to have attracted the attention of the Sun Moon Empire''s experts. Although the Jue Emperor Sect isn''t afraid of trouble, the sect master has instructed us to keep a low profile whenever possible."


    "Oh, by the way, my name is Walker Kelur," the young man added with a smile.


    Walker Adam''s throat moved slightly as he swallowed, his mind still feeling somewhat blank. Although he had heard of such scenarios before, experiencing it firsthand felt rather surreal.


    Looking at Walker Adam standing there, the people of Bloodstone Pass were filled with envy. Even without knowing the exact role that the Jue Emperor Sect played on the continent, the formidable lineup of Walker Kelur and his companions suggested it was undoubtedly a colossal force.


    "Brother Blaze, would you join me?" Walker Adam suddenly turned around, looking at Blaze Regret with anticipation.


    When Walker Adam extended the invitation, the gazes directed toward Blaze Regret were immediately filled with undisguised jealousy. Why hadn''t such a good opportunity come their way?


    "By the way, Elder Mo once mentioned that if you are willing to come to the Jue Emperor Sect, you can receive the same cultivation resources as I do," Walker Kelur said with a smile, looking at Blaze Regret. His tone was devoid of the arrogance typical of a prominent sect, instead exuding a gentle warmth.


    As soon as Walker Kelur spoke, the faces of the dozens of Spirit King realm experts in the sky changed instantly. They knew all too well how abundant Walker Kelur''s cultivation resources were, resources he had earned through relentless struggle and battle.


    However, to everyone''s surprise, Blaze Regret merely smiled and then shook his head slightly.


    "Thank you for your kind offer, but I prefer to train on my own."


    Upon hearing this, Walker Adam''s expression showed some regret, while Walker Kelur, beside him, had a gleam of approval in his eyes. It was rare to find someone who could resist such a great temptation.


    "Hmm?"


    Raising his eyebrows slightly, Walker Kelur cast a curious gaze towards the top of a distant building, where a young man in white stood quietly watching them. His long black hair danced in the wind, and though it wasn''t raining, he held a white umbrella in his hand.


    "What a powerful aura."


    Gazing at this individual, Walker Kelur felt a sudden chill in his heart, an inexplicable sense of danger. It was a sensation he rarely experienced since ascending to the Spirit Sovereign level.

 Chapter 332 - 332 Will Meet Again

    From the man''s eyes, Walker Kelur perceived a hint of warning.


    "Young Master, the experts from the Sun Moon Empire have arrived."


    With a wave of his sleeve, Walker Kelur conjured a beautiful white wind crane next to Walker Adam. The crane flapped its wings, and a swirling azure wind lifted Walker Adam and his companions, settling them on the crane''s back.


    "Train well at the Jue Emperor Sect. Perhaps we''ll have the chance to meet again in the future," Blaze Regret said with a smile, looking at Walker Adam on the crane''s back.


    He felt a strong affinity for this young man, seeing much of his own past self in him, particularly from the time before he left Velorian City.


    Who knows how many years from now, how Walker Adam''s mindset might change?


    "Do you have any token, senior?" Walker Adam asked eagerly, looking at Walker Kelur.


    "I don''t deserve such a title; just call me by my name."


    Walker Kelur nearly broke into a cold sweat and quickly retrieved a token from the Void realms stone, tossing it to Blaze Regret with a smile.


    "This is the Jue Emperor Order of our Jue Emperor Sect. By crushing it, you can request the assistance of one of our elders at any time and place. Consider it a token of gratitude for looking after the young master during this period."


    After speaking, Walker Kelur cast a wary glance into the distance. A fierce wind swept through, and the white wind crane soared into the sky, followed closely by the dozens of Spirit King experts.


    Holding the Jue Emperor Order, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but chuckle. It turned out this token was identical to the one Walker Adam had. If the latter had known its use earlier, many subsequent events might not have occurred.


    Even Walker Kelur, a Spirit Sovereign, treated Elder Mo of the Jue Emperor Sect with great respect. This suggested that the elders of the Jue Emperor Sect were likely powerful beings surpassing the Spirit Sovereign level.


    Contemplating this possibility, Blaze Regret felt a bit dazed. Such formidable individuals should be able to easily sweep away the Kartis family at the center of the empire.


    Storing the Jue Emperor Order in the Void realms stone, Blaze Regret seemed to sense something, suddenly looking into the distance. There, standing elegantly atop a building, was Kartis Wave, his face wearing a serene and extremely comforting smile.


    "Once you''re done with everything, come to the Pure Water Pavilion."


    A voice, as faint as a mosquito''s buzz, reached his ears. Blaze Regret nodded slightly, and that white figure slowly faded away, as if it had never been there.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, without a Spirit Lord expert, Bloodstone Pass will face tough times ahead," Patel Rong approached Blaze Regret with a heavy tone.


    In the past, Silver Lucas''s presence had kept the surrounding Spirit Lord experts at bay, preventing them from making rash moves. But once he was gone, Bloodstone Pass, as a valuable asset, would surely become a target for many eager individuals.


    "Don''t worry, leave it to me," Blaze Regret replied calmly, withdrawing his gaze. His slightly narrowed eyes then shifted towards the distance, "Before anything else, we need to deal with the major threat of the Five Demons Hall."


    When Patel Rong and Jack Mana heard the murmured words coming from Blaze Regret''s mouth, they were momentarily stunned. Their expressions changed drastically as they suddenly remembered that the greatest threat was still the Five Demon Hall!


    Compared to the Five Demon Hall, the spirit masters from the surrounding towns were insignificant. Mut Kui, a ninth tier spirit Lord master, could easily sweep them all away single handedly!


    Perhaps realizing their loss of composure, Patel Rong and Jack Mana quickly concealed their unease and turned their probing gazes toward Blaze Regret. As old foxes who had been through the mill at Bloodstone Pass for a long time, they naturally knew who should now take the lead.


    "Blaze Regret, my young friend, that Mut Kui is a ninth tier spirit Lord master," Patel Rong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Leave it to me," Blaze Regret replied calmly.


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s assurance, Patel Rong and Jack Mana breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, they had no choice but to trust Blaze Regret now, as both of them were still some distance away from the spirit Lord master level.


    "Blaze Regret, are you planning to go to Five Demon Hall?" Blaze Wahab and Blaze Adam walked over with solemn expressions. That place was one even some spirit Lord master level experts dared not tread lightly.


    "Don''t worry, I have my own trump cards."


    Blaze Regret smiled, and then his cold eyes swept over the crowd, causing a few spirit masters with panicked expressions to quickly retreat to the back.


    These people were the ones who had previously pressured Blaze Regret and Blaze Adam to spare the Qong Pear brothers with their words. At that time, they had spoken eloquently, completely disregarding Blaze Adam''s feelings. After all, the deceased had nothing to do with them, and they could even gain favor with the Qong Pear brothers. Why not?


    But now, they were finally afraid.


    "Elder, I remember that the Blood Seal Gate''s business at Bloodstone Pass involves mining the original world stone vein, right?" Blaze Regret''s voice, tinged with a certain coldness, sounded slowly.


    "That''s right," Blaze Wahab nodded.


    The original world stone is one of the important materials for crafting void realm stones. On average, it takes thirty original world stones to extract the materials needed to refine one void realm stone. Even so, the Blood Seal Gate has been making huge profits in recent years.


    Simply because the price of space stones is exceedingly expensive.


    Such a vein naturally becomes the object of desire for many forces.


    Several years ago, the major families of Bloodstone Pass fought countless battles over this vein until the Blood Seal Gate emerged as the dominant power, finally securing ownership of the original world stone vein.

 Chapter 333 - 333 Angry

    "Then throw these people into the original world stone vein and let them stay there forever, mining original world stones every day. As for the management of the vein, leave it to Blaze Adam,"


    Blaze Regret said indifferently, deciding the ownership of the world stone vein with just one sentence.


    Patel Rong and Jack Mana could only smile bitterly in their hearts. If Blaze Regret could solve the trouble over at Five Demon Hall, then Bloodstone Pass might just end up under the Blaze family''s control.


    "No problem," Blaze Adam replied with a grim smile, slowly approaching those individuals.


    Seeing Blaze Adam approach, those people turned pale, filled with endless regret and fear. From now on, they would likely never see the sunlight outside again.


    Five Demon Hall is located to the southwest of Bloodstone Pass.


    The average journey from Bloodstone Pass takes about three days. This considerable distance has led most people within the pass to completely forget the existence of this force.


    Standing at the foot of the mountain, staring at the gate of Five Demon Hall with slightly narrowed eyes, a chill swept across Blaze Regret''s heart.


    If not for having many trump cards, he would have long been wiped out by the old man in the black robe and his Phantom Mirror bats. Moreover, given Five Demon Hall''s ruthless nature, even the Blaze family far away in Velorian City would undoubtedly be implicated.


    "How dare you! Do you know what place this is?"


    Seeing the silhouette of a stranger approaching, several disciples of Five Demon Hall immediately surrounded him with hostile expressions, their faces adorned with an arrogant and cold demeanor.


    However, Blaze Regret didn''t bother to acknowledge them as he walked right past them. These insignificant characters were beneath his notice, and he had no interest in dealing with them.


    "Courting death!"


    Being so blatantly ignored, anger immediately appeared on the faces of those disciples. Each one had spiritual power surging in their hands as they viciously struck towards the back of Blaze Regret''s head.


    "Get down!"


    Turning his head slightly, Blaze Regret stomped his foot on the ground, his sharp voice resonating. A powerful spiritual pressure descended like a mountain, forcing those individuals to fall heavily to the ground.


    These disciples were merely third tier spirit Warrior master. To act against Blaze Regret was purely an act of self humiliation.


    "This Five Demon Hall is quite a challenge to ascend."


    Looking up at the winding mountain path, Blaze Regret smirked coldly to himself. The entire path was heavily guarded by countless disciples, making it a place easy to defend but difficult to attack.


    If one were to attempt to approach with a flying spirit beast, they would likely be riddled with holes by the overwhelming barrage of attacks before even getting close.


    "Little one, going up this way is too slow; let me help you," Master Magi chuckled. A wisp of golden light circled around Blaze Regret and then transformed into a brilliant light shield, lifting him gently into the air.


    The light shield was quite peculiar, appearing completely transparent from the outside, nearly invisible. Unless a powerhouse of the spirit Celestical realm was personally present, no one would notice that there was a spirit master inside.


    "Crack!"


    The light shield opened up in front of the mid mountain gate, an area that seemed deserted with no one guarding it, indicating that it was likely the core of the entire Five Demon Hall.


    Taking a few steps forward, Blaze Regret scanned the area with his gaze and suddenly froze in place. A surge of fury gradually rose within him.


    From inside the door, a rough, mocking voice echoed.


    "Sure enough, you''re a lowlife from a backwater place, not even knowing about my Five Demon Hall. If you obediently submit to me, Mut Yin, you''ll be allowed to run rampant for a thousand miles around, and your father could even become the master of a town."


    After speaking, the burly man named Mut Yin approached a young girl with a sinister smile, holding a long whip made from intertwined vines.


    The girl''s face was filled with despair, her silver teeth biting down on her red lips, displaying an unyielding spirit.


    This girl was none other than Yun Suhaila!


    "If you obediently submit to me, you can avoid some physical pain."


    Mut Yin grinned widely, laughing heartily. "Of course, the more you resist, the better. I do enjoy hearing the pitiful cries of young girls."


    Staring at Mut Yin''s ugly face, Yun Suhaila''s beautiful eyes trembled continuously. At that moment, the image of a young man suddenly surfaced in her mind, though it was nothing more than a distant hope.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, Mut Yin''s whip lashed down mercilessly, the sharp sound of it cutting through the air was piercing and harsh.


    The unyieldingly tough whip, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as it sliced through the air, swung down mercilessly. At the same time, a sinister smile appeared on Mut Yin''s lips.


    Countless young girls had met their demise under his whip. His perverse hobby caused all the women around the Five Demon Halls to tremble in fear.


    "Crack!" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The whip descended, and Yun Suhaila''s delicate body shivered with closed eyes. However, the expected intense pain did not follow. Puzzled, she opened her eyes.


    What she saw was a slender hand firmly gripping Mut Yin''s whip, and beneath that hand was the clean, youthful face of a young man.


    Her breath caught slightly, and as if she couldn''t believe it, Yun Suhaila reached out with a trembling hand to cautiously grasp the young man''s black robe.


    The solid feel transmitted through her hand caused her eyes to mist over immediately. The grievances she had endured during this time finally erupted uncontrollably.


    Glancing at the scars on Yun Suhaila''s hand, Blaze Regret''s eyes surged with anger. This Mut Yin was indeed ruthless. It seemed he had committed such beastly acts quite frequently over the years.

 Chapter 334 - 334 Furios

    "Who are you?" Mut Yin looked at Blaze Regret below, his brows slightly furrowed. This young man had managed to sneak in here without a sound, indicating he was quite skilled.


    "The one who will send you on your way!"


    A glint of gold flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes as a violent killing intent erupted from him. He lifted his foot, delivering a powerful whip like kick that swept out like lightning.


    "Boom!"


    Suffering such a heavy blow, Mut Yin''s whip was flung into the air, while his body was sent flying backward. He staggered dozens of steps before barely managing to stabilize himself.


    "Who are you really?" Mut Yin was shocked and horrified. Although he ranked last among the five elders of the Five Demon Halls, he still possessed the strength of a fourth tier Spirit Lord master. How could he be swept away by a mere seventh tier Spirit Imperial Master using brute force alone?


    Reaching out to catch the falling whip, Blaze Regret''s eyes glimmered with a golden light. Upon entering the mountain gate, Master Magi had cast a secret technique on him, allowing his body''s strength to temporarily rival that of a third tier lord grade spirit beast. This power was more than enough to suppress Mut Yin decisively.


    "No matter who you are, today you''ll stay here!" Mut Yin gritted his teeth, quickly sketching a verdant green spirit array in front of him. A surging force began to ripple outward from it.


    "Crack!"


    However, just as the spirit array was halfway complete, the whip in Blaze Regret''s hand mercilessly lashed down. The force contained within the whip left a bloody mark across Mut Yin''s face.


    In an instant, the spirit array wavered unsteadily, finally shattering with a crisp crack. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Isn''t this fun?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly, the whip in his hand thrashing like a rampaging spirit snake, repeatedly striking Mut Yin. Each lash drew a line of blood.


    "Stop it!" Mut Yin rolled on the ground in agony, the pain he felt threatening to make him faint.


    Covering her chest with a delicate hand, Yun Suhaila looked at the young man''s now more mature face, feeling an inexplicable sense of peace. It was as if nothing was unsolvable with him around.


    "I''m the Fifth Elder of the Five Demon Halls! When Big Brother Mut Kui returns, he''ll take your life!"


    His mouth twitched painfully as Mut Yin cursed furiously. He had always been the one wielding the whip against others, never having been treated like this himself. The humiliation he felt was overwhelming.


    "Isn''t this the feeling you enjoy?"


    Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a mocking smile, and the ethereal figure of Ling Luo appeared beside him. Her adorable appearance left Yun Suhaila momentarily stunned.


    "Don''t ask for food yet; finish the task at hand first."


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s deep voice, Ling Luo playfully stuck out her little tongue. Then, with a flick of her wrist, a long verdant vine shot out, hoisting Mut Yin''s body upside down.


    "You fool, do you even know what you''re doing?" Mut Yin twisted his body, cursing angrily.


    "I know far better than you do," Blaze Regret replied coldly. The sharp gaze of the young man sent a shiver through Mut Yin''s heart.


    It felt as if he were being watched by a relentless wolf.


    Halfway up the Five Demon Halls:


    "That girl just now was quite the catch. I bet Elder Mut Yin is at it with his games again," one of the disciples of the Five Demon Halls said with a sly grin.


    "Such a beastly man, yet he''s somehow become a Spirit Lord Master. Heaven must be blind," scoffed an eighth tier Spirit Imperial Master standing beside him.


    "Shh, it''s fine for us to say such things among ourselves, but don''t let anyone else hear, or we might lose our lives!" The first speaker gestured frantically.


    "Hey, it looks like something''s coming out of the main hall."


    As this was said, the eyes of the disciples turned in unison, their expressions changing drastically. The entire Five Demon Halls erupted into chaos.


    A long verdant vine was hanging in mid air, and tied to it was none other than their Fifth Elder, Mut Yin!


    With fear gripping him, Mut Yin glanced at the heights from which he dangled. His scalp tingled as he turned to Blaze Regret, shouting desperately, "I''ll give you whatever you want, including that girl from earlier. If that''s not enough, I can go to the surrounding towns and bring you dozens no, hundreds more!"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s expression grew even darker.


    "Ling Luo, I don''t care how you do it, but beat him for an hour. I''ll give you ten spirit fruits afterward," Blaze Regret''s voice, laced with a trace of murderous intent, echoed against the howling cold wind.


    Ling Luo''s eyes widened slightly as she nodded eagerly. Her complete food loving demeanor left Red, perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, utterly speechless.


    "Crack!"


    In an instant, the crisp sound of the whip cracking mixed with agonizing screams echoed through the mountainside of the Five Demon Halls. The thorns on Ling Luo''s vine whip were incredibly sharp, and each lash inflicted pain akin to the bone breaking agony of snapping a finger.


    "Blaze Regret, the master of the Five Demon Halls is a ninth tier Spirit Lord Master," Yun Suhaila said softly, biting her red lip with some apprehension in her voice.


    "Even if a Spirit Sovereign came today, they wouldn''t leave this mountain unharmed," Blaze Regret''s icy voice carried an undeniable determination.


    Hearing this, a slight blush rose on Yun Suhaila''s cheeks. Such a domineering voice was unexpectedly pleasant to her ears.


    "Crack!"


    As Ling Luo''s vine whip lashed down, Mut Yin''s flesh splattered. The pain was so excruciating that he wished for death. Yet, to his despair, the whip contained healing properties that quickly mended his torn flesh.


    This heart wrenching, layered pain was something no one would ever want to endure a second time.

 Chapter 335 - 335 Dont Qualify

    "You don''t qualify to play rough," Blaze Regret scoffed coldly, then looked toward the distance.


    Mut Kui, after all this time, you should be arriving soon.


    The crisp sound of a whip echoed across the mountainside, causing all the disciples of the Five Demon Hall to exchange glances without one daring to rush forward and fight Blaze Regret. Even a fourth tier spirit lord master had been easily beaten, let alone them. If they took even a single step, they feared they would be instantly obliterated.


    The intense pain coursing through his body nearly drove Mut Yin to collapse. For the first time in his life, he loathed the vine whip.


    "Whoosh!"


    At this moment, three long trails of dust were drawn at the foot of the mountain. From them emerged a middle aged man exuding a terrifying aura. His face, shadowed and grim, lifted as his chilling voice resounded through the heavens and earth.


    "Who dares to run wild on my Five Demon Hall?"


    Upon seeing this man appear, the disciples of the Five Demon Hall seemed as if they had glimpsed hope. Their eyes lit up, and excited shouts erupted thunderously.


    This middle aged man was none other than Mut Kui!


    Following him, two more elders emerged. They were the only remaining elders of the Five Demon Hall, though their expressions were extremely cold.


    "Big brother, save me!"


    Mut Yin, who was hanging upside down, seemed to have a moment of revival. His face lit up with joy as he twisted his body. But as he moved, the thorns on the ethereal vine tore several gashes into his body.


    "I give you three breaths to release Mut Yin. Otherwise, no matter where you come from, your people will meet a tragic end on the streets tonight," Mut Kui said, his hands clasped behind his back, coldly staring at Blaze Regret.


    "Is that so," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile. "Sounds quite intimidating. In that case, I suppose I must respectfully comply."


    Her jewel like dark eyes blinked gently, and the ethereal vine suddenly released its grip. Mut Yin''s body plummeted like a bird with broken wings, screaming as he fell.


    "Black Crocodile of the Water!"


    Seeing Mut Yin''s body falling, Mut Kui was first stunned, then an intense murderous intent erupted in his eyes. A surge of murky black water shot skyward, attempting to catch Mut Yin''s body.


    Witnessing this scene, Yun Suhaila''s pretty face turned pale. No matter what, Mut Yin''s hideous face would leave an indelible shadow in her heart.


    "Swish!"


    Just as the wave was about to catch Mut Yin, a dense array of emerald green vines suddenly shot down with a fierce whooshing force, piercing through the elated Mut Yin.


    "Hmph!"


    With a slight pout, the ethereal vine''s sharp emerald tendrils swiftly retracted, disappearing into its palm.


    "Who are you really?"


    Mut Yin''s body fell into the murky wave, instantly mixing with streaks of crimson. Mut Kui''s furious roar echoed like thunder in all directions.


    "What a scene, all this shouting and yelling."


    A flash of golden light appeared beside Blaze Regret, and Master Magi''s smiling figure suddenly emerged, causing Yun Suhaila to gasp in surprise and cover her red lips with her delicate hand.


    This person wasn''t here just a moment ago.


    At this moment, Master Magi''s appearance was no different from an ordinary spirit master, except for his hair, which was a healthy snow white color. Coupled with his wrinkle free face, he exuded an aura that was both ethereal and sage like.


    "Master Magi, has your strength recovered?" Blaze Regret asked in surprise.


    "Not quite yet, but handling a small fry like this is more than sufficient." Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Smiling, Master Magi cast his gaze downward, extending his hand. Around Mut Kui, dazzling golden characters began to shimmer and spin rapidly. In the next instant, Mut Kui''s body was suddenly transported to the front of the mountain gate.


    "What''s happening!"


    It wasn''t just Mut Kui; even the two elders of the Five Demon Hall below shouted in alarm and fear.


    "You''re really too noisy."


    Master Magi frowned in displeasure and waved his hand, saying softly, "A mere ninth tier spirit Lord master dares to threaten my disciple? You should speak while kneeling."


    With the wave of Master Magi''s hand, Mut Kui felt as if a mountain weighing ten thousand pounds suddenly crashed onto his back, forcing his knees to hit the ground with a thud.


    Kneeling with his head slightly bowed, Mut Kui''s face was filled with shock. In the face of this power, he couldn''t even muster a single thought of resistance. It was unheard of even for a strong spirit master of the spirit core level to be this powerful.


    What Mut Kui didn''t know was that Master Magi was not human, and ordinary measures of strength simply didn''t apply to him.


    Nonetheless, his heart was overwhelmed with a tidal wave of fear.


    "Senior, if I have offended you in any way, I, Mut Kui, offer my apologies here and now." Gritting his teeth, Mut Kui slammed his forehead against the ground. The stronger one becomes, the more they cherish their life, especially when he was just a step away from becoming an ultimate spirit king master.


    "Such thick skin."


    Master Magi paused for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. His eyes gradually grew indifferent as he said, "Little one, whether you want to kill or spare him, it''s up to you."


    Upon hearing this, Mut Kui, who was kneeling on the ground, began to tremble violently. A profound sense of despair filled his heart.


    Could it really be the end for him?


    He couldn''t help but feel a deep sense of unwillingness.


    "A ninth tier spirit lord master is too much of a threat. It''s best to kill him," Blaze Regret''s cold voice rang out, causing Mut Kui''s body to collapse in resignation. He knew that the boy''s words largely represented the old man''s will.

 Chapter 336 - 336 Negotiation

    "Oh, then kill him," Master Magi said nonchalantly, spreading his hand. The golden ripples emanating from it made Mut Kui''s heart leap into his throat.


    It''s over...


    At that moment, the words echoed repeatedly in Mut Kui''s mind.


    "However, the Blaze family could use an enforcer. A ninth tier spirit Lord master might just suffice," Blaze Regret mused, his fingers lightly rubbing his chin.


    Suddenly, a flicker of hope lit up Mut Kui''s eyes, and his breathing became heavier. With urgency in his voice, he said, "Young friend, I am willing to serve like a loyal dog or horse, only hoping that the previous incident can be forgiven."


    "Hmph."


    With a light snort, Blaze Regret turned away, looking down indifferently at the foot of the Five Demon Hall. "That will depend on your performance."


    "Yes!" Mut Kui responded repeatedly, letting out a long breath of relief in his heart. It was only after narrowly escaping death that he realized his back was completely soaked with sweat.


    A thousand feet away, atop a towering peak.


    The piercing cold wind howled past the summit, causing a figure in white robes to drift gently. The young man''s handsome face was as calm as still water, betraying no emotion.


    "The Book of Nine Nether Ink, it''s truly you."


    After a moment, a voice murmured softly, belonging to Kartis Wave. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Blaze Ash, oh Blaze Ash, what exactly do you want? You could have destroyed him, so why did you seal his incomplete body in a cave near Velorian City?"


    The sound of his sigh dissipated with the wind as Kartis Wave''s grip on the paper umbrella tightened slightly.


    "Hmm?"


    As if sensing something, Master Magi, standing beside Blaze Regret, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze as calm as an ancient well, sweeping toward the distance. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    For a moment, the two locked eyes silently.


    In the sky, snowflakes gently fell, landing in Blaze Regret''s palm and melting into a cold puddle.


    "It''s snowing."


    Lifting his head, a faint smile emerged on Blaze Regret''s face.


    Perhaps, the true Sun Moon Empire was about to reveal itself before his eyes.


    Bloodstone Pass.


    As the central location of several towns, this vast area gradually returned to peace after the riots of the past few days. The streets were still bustling with people.


    However, beneath this calm surface, endless undercurrents were surging.


    On the south side of Bloodstone Pass, at the entrance to the Primordial Stone Mine.


    Dozens of figures stood divided on both sides. On one side was the top force of Bloodstone Pass, led by Blaze Wahab and including Patel Rong, Jack Mana, and others. On the other side were two middle aged men, whose appearances were extremely unfamiliar, with seemingly amiable smiles on their faces.


    These two men were Lut Sinar, the head of the Lut family from Hatyai City, and Solar Teng, also from Hatyai City. Both had the strength of sixth level Spirit Lord Masters.


    "Head of the Lut family, isn''t it a bit too much to take advantage of the situation?" Blaze Wahab''s gaze was slightly cold. Lut Sinar had the audacity to demand a 40% share of the entire Primordial Stone Mine, which was simply outrageous.


    "Forty percent is indeed a bit much."


    Lut Sinar smiled and looked at Solar Teng: "You see, don''t push people too far. If our Lut family wants 40%, that''s one thing, but your Solar family actually wants 50%. How about I also ask for 50%?"


    As soon as he said this, both Lut Sinar and Solar Teng burst into laughter. Previously, with Silver Lucas around, they might have been cautious, but now Bloodstone Pass was nothing but a juicy piece of meat.


    And one that couldn''t resist, at that.


    Their wanton laughter echoed in the ears of Blaze Wahab and the others, whose expressions gradually turned grim. It was clear that Lut Sinar and Solar Teng were simply toying with them.


    It seemed they were determined to obtain the Primordial Stone Mine.


    "Have your people withdraw from the mine entirely. From today onwards, we will take over the Primordial Stone Mine. Moreover, everyone in Bloodstone Pass must pay us 50% of their income in the future. That''s the decision." Solar Teng waved his hand, speaking casually.


    "Fifty percent?"


    Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with anger. Lut Sinar and Solar Teng were completely disregarding them as humans. With their actions, how was Bloodstone Pass any different from a slave camp now?


    "What, you don''t agree?" Lut Sinar sneered, spreading his palm towards an enraged member of the Patel family. Suddenly, a powerful suction force erupted from his palm, instantly pulling the person over.


    "Boom!"


    Grabbing the man''s head, Lut Sinar''s hand squeezed lightly, and his head burst open like a watermelon, a thin mist of blood filling the air.


    The atmosphere in the scene froze instantly.


    "Just a bunch of ants." Lut Sinar chuckled, shaking his hand as the broken corpse in his grasp traced a parabola, slamming heavily against the mountain wall before sliding down powerlessly.


    "Patel Zong!"


    Seeing a member of his clan killed, Patel Rong''s eyes flashed with grief and fury as he looked at Lut Sinar in anger: "Don''t go too far. In Bloodstone Pass, we have warriors who can match a Spirit Lord Master!"


    Naturally, he was referring to Blaze Regret.


    "So what?" Lut Sinar crossed his arms, a smirk on his face. Not that he believed it, but even if it were true, what could they do about it? At worst, he would just kill them.


    With his strength, combined with the Solar family, even some of the larger families would have to weigh their options carefully.


    "Why waste words with them?"


    Solar Teng''s sinister eyes scanned the crowd and then settled on Blaze Adam, from whom a chilling sneer emerged: "This mine is under your management, right? Let''s start with you and clean out everyone below."


    (Please Support this novel by gift and power stone)

 Chapter 337 - 337 Arrangement

    With that, Solar Teng opened his palm, and a crimson spiritual power spread from his palm, creating a scorching gust of wind as he swung it fiercely towards Blaze Adam''s head.


    If this strike landed, Blaze Adam''s death would be no less gruesome than the previous Patel Zong.


    "Stop!"


    Just as Solar Teng''s palm was about to strike, an enraged elderly figure swiftly dashed over, with a dark green light flashing in front of him, colliding forcefully with Solar Teng''s hand.


    "Boom!"


    A dull thud echoed, and Blaze Wahab''s figure was directly sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground. A mouthful of fresh blood spewed from his mouth, scattering in droplets across the ground.


    "Buzz!"


    In front of him, a dark green tortoise shell trembled incessantly, and only after a while did the vibrations begin to slow down.


    "Good thing I have this."


    Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Blaze Wahab''s face was ashen. If it weren''t for Blaze Regret giving him the Mystic Tortoise Spirit Armor before leaving, that palm from Solar Teng would have likely dismantled his old bones.


    "Solar Teng, you''re quite useless, aren''t you?"


    Lut Sinar smirked mockingly, then tapped his toe on the ground. Instantly, a row of sharp, unyielding rock spikes burst forth from the earth, continuously extending toward Blaze Wahab. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The tips of the rock spikes glimmered like sharp, cold stars.


    "Whoosh!"


    At that moment, a fierce black water spear suddenly shot down from the sky, piercing through Lut Sinar''s body like lightning, crashing into the ground, and exploding into a deep crater.


    The advancing rock spikes also abruptly halted just three inches from Blaze Wahab''s body.


    With a somewhat stiff expression, Lut Sinar looked down in disbelief. A huge, gaping blood hole appeared in his abdomen, looking particularly horrifying.


    "Boom!"


    In the next moment, Lut Sinar''s body collapsed to the ground, and even as his last breath faded, he never understood the reason for his demise.


    "Who is it!"


    Solar Teng''s face changed dramatically, filled with terror as he looked towards the sky. There, a black water crocodile was staring at him coldly, and on its back stood Mut Kui, wearing a sinister expression.


    "Coming to Bloodstone Pass to cause trouble? You must be tired of living." Mut Kui sneered viciously, and the black water crocodile under his feet shot down like a watery missile, biting Solar Teng in one swift move.


    "Crack!"


    A crisp sound echoed, and the light of fear in Solar Teng''s eyes gradually dimmed. His body had already been bitten in half by the black water crocodile.


    "Mut Kui!"


    Seeing the figure on the black water crocodile, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. Especially Blaze Wahab and his group, whose expressions turned grim. They were well aware that Blaze Regret had gone to the Five Demon Hall a few days ago, and the sudden appearance of Mut Kui now gave rise to an ominous feeling in their hearts.


    "May I ask which one of you is Elder Blaze Wahab?"


    Sensing the oppressive atmosphere around him, Mut Kui hesitated for a moment before clasping his hands together respectfully, cautiously asking. His demeanor was as respectful as a child meeting an elder.


    With these words, everyone in the scene was taken aback, and then a series of incredulous glances were directed towards Blaze Wahab.


    For a moment, the atmosphere was eerily quiet.


    Standing in front of the Pure Water Pavilion, Blaze Regret exhaled gently, then stepped forward and walked inside. It seemed that he would soon learn some hidden secrets.


    Inside the Pure Water Pavilion, a familiar faint sandalwood fragrance lingered. Kartis Wave, sitting behind the counter, was diligently recording the sales of spiritual medicine in the store. His gentle demeanor made it hard to imagine that he was once a formidable figure who dominated the entire empire.


    "Is everything arranged?"


    Putting down the brush in his hand, Kartis Wave smiled softly as he looked up. His enchanting and handsome face could easily captivate many young girls outside.


    Blaze Regret, with his lips lightly pressed together, nodded slightly. Before leaving the Five Demon Hall, he had already arranged everything.


    Yun Suhaila and Yun Anuar had both voluntarily chosen to stay in the Five Demon Hall. The environment there was sufficient for Yun Anuar, a rugged man, to showcase his abilities.


    As for Mut Jue, the second elder of the Five Demon Mountain, he was a wind element spiritual master. His current strength was at the seventh tier of the spirit Lord master level. With his personal guidance, Yun Suhaila''s progress would be extremely rapid, and her safety would be well assured.


    Meanwhile, Mut Kui, a ninth tier spirit Lord master, had been thoroughly intimidated by Master Magi, even swearing a deadly oath to protect the Blaze family at all costs. Hence, when he met Blaze Wahab, he was exceedingly respectful.


    Additionally, Master Magi had given him a pill recipe. If he could enlist the help of a fourth grade alchemist, he might hope to advance to the spirit king realms level within three months. This strategy of giving a stick and a carrot made him utterly loyal.


    Therefore, Blaze Regret dared to leave Bloodstone Pass with peace of mind. With the formidable Mut Kui around, the petty villains in the vicinity dared not invade.


    Seeing Blaze Regret nod, Kartis Wave smiled again and gestured for Blaze Regret to sit down.


    "How much do you know about the central empire nowadays?" Kartis Wave asked directly, without any unnecessary words, smiling as he did so.


    "I only know that there''s a Kartis Family there, and it''s a gathering place for the empire''s strongest individuals," Blaze Regret replied with an embarrassed chuckle, scratching his head. He truly didn''t know much about that mysterious place.


    "The Kartis Family," Kartis Wave nodded slightly and said softly, "It seems Blaze Ash hasn''t told you much."

 Chapter 338 - 338 Past

    "The central empire, also known as Snow Storm City, is where the imperial royal family resides. Snow falls there year round because the royal sovereign, Seng Techen''s chief spiritual beast, is a Nine Headed Frost Flood Dragon."


    "That spiritual beast enjoys lounging above the palace. There was once a joke that whenever the Nine Headed Frost Flood Dragon yawns, it''s the day snow falls in the Sun Moon Empire."


    As Kartis Wave spoke, Blaze Regret''s eyes gradually lit up. The world he was familiar with was merely a small corner, and he had never even heard of many fascinating things.


    "As for the Kartis Family, they are merely one of the larger families there. In Snow Storm City, there are many families and forces that can rival them, including the Angsana Pavillion," Kartis Wave said calmly.


    "The Angsana Pavillion?" Blaze Regret was slightly taken aback. That seemed to be the faction where Alif Azfar was affiliated.


    "Indeed, the head of the Angsana Pavillion, Mekar Lin, was a close friend of your father. Currently, he should also be a strong King realms practitioner," Kartis Wave''s eyes revealed a hint of reminiscence.


    "My father..." Blaze Regret couldn''t wait to ask, but Kartis Wave waved his hand to interrupt him, forcing him to close his mouth with a sheepish look.


    "This matter isn''t urgent. Do you know about the war thirty years ago between the Sun Moon Empire and the Youngang Empire?" Kartis Wave asked softly.


    A sharp light flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes as he nodded slowly. Regarding that brutal war, anyone from the Sun Moon Empire would know at least a little about it.


    In that battle, the Sun Moon Empire lost at least dozens of King realms experts, and even the ancient monsters of the royal family were severely injured. The nation teetered on the brink of collapse until a genius rose to prominence, fighting against two opponents simultaneously and severely injuring two of their strongest sovereigns, thereby saving Sun Moon Empire from imminent destruction.

    As he recalled this, Blaze Regret''s body suddenly trembled, and he looked at Kartis Wave with disbelief.


    "Indeed, that genius is your father," Kartis Wave nodded with a smile.


    Hearing Kartis Wave''s confirmation, Blaze Regret''s mind buzzed, and his expression became incredibly animated. He could never have imagined that his father, who had once stolen spiritual condensation liquid from the family warehouse for him, was the same ruthless figure who made a name for himself in the imperial center thirty years ago.


    This was on a completely different level!


    "Surprising, isn''t it?" Kartis Wave chuckled, seemingly very satisfied with Blaze Regret''s shocked expression.


    "But my father only has the strength of a seventh tier spirit Lord master," Blaze Regret swallowed hard, speaking with difficulty.


    "Haven''t you noticed? Since you were old enough to remember, your father has always been a seventh tier spirit Lord master," Kartis Wave said, rubbing his forehead with a slightly lazy tone.


    Blaze Regret''s eyes trembled violently, and his breath caught. No wonder something always felt off; Kartis Wave''s reminder undoubtedly answered the doubts he had harbored for over a decade.


    "It''s not your fault. Your father''s manipulation of the memories of everyone in Velorian City is why this issue generally goes unnoticed," Kartis Wave explained slowly.


    "Your father has remained stagnant all these years because certain forces in Snow Storm City placed a seal on him, preventing his spiritual power from advancing and keeping him stuck in place," Kartis Wave continued, his calm voice tinged with a slight chill.


    Blaze Regret clenched his fists tightly, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes. Whoever was responsible for this would pay an unimaginable price.


    "Blaze Regret, do you think a Spirit sovereign is very strong?" Kartis Wave suddenly changed the topic, asking softly.


    "Strong, perhaps not strong."


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret hesitated. Although a Spirit sovereign seemed like an unattainable level for him now, Master Magi''s subtle influence had made him acutely aware that there are always higher heights and greater individuals. Even the strongest in the Sun Moon Empire might not be impressive elsewhere.


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s response, Kartis Wave''s eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. Such awareness was indeed worthy of being Blaze Ash''s son.


    "I''ve said what I needed to say. Now, let me tell you about the enmity between your father and the Kartis Family," Kartis Wave''s eyes narrowed slightly, a faint and hidden chill flashing through them.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually became more solemn.


    "Thirty years ago, your father forcefully defeated two Spirit Sovereign experts, and his reputation soared. With the threat of the Youngang Empire looming, many factions in Snow Storm City sought to align with your father for protection. The most prominent example was the head of the Kartis Family, Kartis Sham."


    "Later, as your father''s cultivation level advanced rapidly, the Youngang Empire no longer dared to invade. They even sent emissaries bearing substantial compensation to seek your father''s forgiveness."


    "This was known at the time as ''one man suppressing a nation,'' causing a sensation even among many surrounding empires," Kartis Wave said calmly, though a hint of emotion could be detected in his voice.


    "One man suppressing a nation."


    Reflecting on these words, Blaze Regret''s eyes gradually filled with fervor. As a spiritual practitioner, who wouldn''t desire such honor?


    This is the power of absolute strength!


    "Later, the structure of the Sun Moon Empire could no longer satisfy your father, so he resolutely set out alone into the continent," Kartis Wave continued.


    "The continent?" Blaze Regret''s expression turned slightly peculiar.


    "That''s right. Despite the many experts in the Sun Moon Empire, in the eyes of true powerhouses, this place is ultimately just a remote and desolate land, unworthy of any attention," Kartis Wave shook his head slightly.


    For an empire to be recognized by the continent, it must at least have a Spirit Celestical expert, which the isolated Sun Moon Empire clearly lacked.


    "What happened next?" Blaze Regret asked, frowning slightly.


    (If you like this novel, please support it by gift, power stone or golden ticket)

 Chapter 339 - 339 humiliated

    He suddenly had a feeling that all the problems stemmed from this point.


    "In the years after your father''s departure, a strange rumor began to ferment in Snow Storm City. It was said that the major powers in the central empire could only survive by relying on your father; otherwise, they would have perished countless times." S§×arch* The novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "As a result, some major powers began to feel humiliated, and some even developed animosity towards your father. As the war became a distant memory, this sentiment deepened."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes showed a hint of anger. If it weren''t for his father''s desperate struggle, these people wouldn''t have the chance to enjoy their freedom in Snow Storm City.


    Humiliation, did they ever feel the slightest bit of it when they were being ruthlessly oppressed by the powerful figures of the Youngang Empire due to their lack of strength?


    "After more than a decade, your father suddenly returned to Snow Storm City. No one knew what he had experienced during those years; however, his body was covered with countless scars, and even his strength had fallen to the Spirit King level," Kartis Wave said softly.


    Blaze Regret took a hard sip of the tea in front of him, swallowing even the tea leaves. These revelations were overwhelmingly shocking to him.


    "After your father returned, Seng Techan immediately issued a ban, forbidding any faction from spreading the news of Blaze Ash''s injuries. After all, he had offended too many people in the great war with the Youngang Empire."


    "Yet, the news eventually leaked, and the strong figures from the Youngang Empire flocked in, demanding Seng Techan hand over your father. Otherwise, they threatened to raze the Sun Moon Empire," Kartis Wave''s deep voice continued.


    "Seng Techan... did he agree?" Blaze Regret''s voice was slightly hoarse.


    He could imagine how powerless an injured Spirit King would be when faced with the entire force of the Youngang Empire''s experts.


    As the ruler of the Sun Moon Empire, Seng Techan had no reason to go to war with the Youngang Empire again for him, right?


    "No, Seng Techan refused without a second thought," Kartis Wave''s response made Blaze Regret pause slightly, then frown. This was not what he had anticipated.


    "As a ruler of an empire, if one cannot even protect the meritorious officials, then it would be too incompetent. Moreover, at that time, several major factions in Snow Storm City were also strongly opposed to it, with Angsana Pavillion being the most vocal," Kartis Wave continued.


    "However, after Seng Techan''s refusal, Kartis Sham and others, citing the greater good, allied with several individuals to take action against your father. Among them, two Spirit Sovereign experts from the Youngang Empire were also involved. Astonishingly, even though your father''s power had plummeted, he still possessed unmatched strength for a time."


    "With the involvement of forces like Angsana Pavillion, Kartis Sham and the experts from the Youngang Empire could only seal your father''s powers and swore not to take his life."


    A cold chill flashed through Blaze Regret''s eyes as he tightly clutched his black robe.


    No wonder the prestigious Kartis Family would lower themselves to meticulously target a small family. It seems this grudge has been festering for decades.


    "Which factions were involved?" Blaze Regret''s voice was hoarse. Regardless of who they were, he vowed to make them pay a heavy price in the future.


    "It was too chaotic."


    Kartis Wave shook his head with a sigh, "Back then, I wasn''t in the Sun Moon Empire, so some things I only heard through rumors. However, it is certain that the leader was Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family. He was also the one who initially stirred up hostility against your father in Snow Storm City."


    "Kartis Sham." Blaze Regret softly repeated the name, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Why?"


    He couldn''t understand why the head of the Kartis Family held such animosity towards his father.


    "When it comes to a scoundrel, there''s often no need for a reason."


    Kartis Wave smirked slightly, "Perhaps it was out of jealousy. Before your father emerged, Kartis Sham was the most outstanding talent of his generation in Snow Storm City."


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s skeptical expression, Kartis Wave coughed lightly and added.


    "Actually, your father had quite a temper back then. Before he revealed his prowess, Kartis Sham once caused trouble for him. In response, your father dragged him by the hair from the gates of Snow Storm City all the way to the Kartis Family, leaving a trench in the ground. It was only after Seng Techan and Shadow Baiyi intervened that he tossed the bruised and battered Kartis Sham into the Kartis Family."


    Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless. It was hard for him to reconcile this fierce side with the middle aged man who once boasted about stealing a few bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid.


    "So, if you go to Snow Storm City, the greatest resistance will be from the Kartis Family. Many hidden factions might also target you, but one thing is certain, they won''t act openly, as only a few know the truth about that incident. Most people don''t even know your father has returned to Sun Moon Empire," Kartis Wave sighed.


    "Therefore, what seems to be the bustling Snow Storm City is actually a perilous place for you. Knowing this, do you still plan to go?" Kartis Wave smiled.


    "Go, why wouldn''t I?"


    Blaze Regret clenched his fists with a cold smile, "Whether it''s the Kartis Family or any other insignificant pests, they should prepare themselves for what''s coming."


    "Thirty years ago, my father could stir up a storm in Snow Storm City. Thirty years later, I, Blaze Regret, can do the same."


    ----


    Crystal clear snowflakes, resembling dandelion seeds, drifted leisurely from the silvery grey sky, eventually accumulating on the ground to form a thin layer.


    "Swish!"


    Amidst the swirling snow, an ice blue figure swiftly traversed the scene, accompanied by a low, whistling wind.

 Chapter 340 - 340 Arogent

    Sitting on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret''s eyebrows were frosted white, and the biting cold wind cut across his face like sharp knives.


    "By now, the Spirit Duel Gathering in Velorian City might have already begun," Blaze Regret murmured softly.


    The Spirit Duel Gathering is an event held every three years in Velorian City, where any family residing there, regardless of size, can participate.


    In the early days of Velorian City''s establishment, ongoing battles over territory led to frequent bloodshed among families. To put an end to this, all families eventually agreed to determine territorial divisions through the martial prowess of their younger members.


    This agreement has persisted to this day.


    For Blaze Regret now, this event doesn''t hold much significance. In all of Velorian City, apart from a few individuals, no one else is qualified to challenge him.


    The only person who could stir a little apprehension in him is the head of the Snow Family, Snow Fazlin.


    In Velorian City.


    With the Spirit Duel Gathering underway, the central square between the four major families has reached its peak crowd capacity. Countless families flocked here with excitement, hoping to secure a piece of land.


    "Sun Family, Sun Amir wins!"


    A loud voice rang out, and in a corner of the square, a small family erupted with excited cheers. Faces were filled with ecstatic joy, as this victory meant a significant change in their family''s strength for the next three years.


    On the high platform, the young man named Sun Yu was beaming with joy as he proudly descended from the stage.


    "Second Elder, the Blaze Family has already won three matches."


    Hearing this, Blaze Peter nodded slightly, but his aged eyes remained fixed ahead, where Snow Ahmad, with a faint smile, was also watching him.


    "Blaze Peter, the younger generation of your Blaze Family isn''t doing well this time. Last time, I remember you won five matches," Snow Ahmad said with a smile, his hands tucked into his sleeves.


    "Just four wins and you think you can boast about it?" Blaze Peter snorted coldly, then shifted his slightly narrowed gaze to the young man beside Snow Ahmad.


    This man was named Snow Kil, who had just returned from training outside a few days ago. Despite his young age, he possessed the strength of a second tier spirit Imperial master, surpassing the younger generation of Velorian City.


    Apart from him, the most notable was Sky Diana of the Sky Family. Besides her beautiful face, her strength as a first tier spirit Imperial master also left many in awe.


    Yet, despite her talents, Sky Diana was recently defeated by Snow Kil, and it was a decisive loss.


    "I didn''t expect that after just a few years away, the younger generation of Velorian City would be so lacking," Snow Kil remarked disdainfully, his voice brimming with unconcealed arrogance as he looked around.


    "Well, it''s not entirely true. That boy from the Blaze Family has some skills. If he returns, you might face each other, and perhaps there will be some surprises," Snow Fazlin replied with a smile.


    Hearing this, Snow Amar, standing behind Snow Fazlin, wore a grim expression. He instinctively touched his face, where a grotesque scar, resembling a centipede, appeared particularly menacing.


    "Blaze Regret, you better come back."


    With his eyelids slightly lowered, Snow Amar''s eyes flashed with a resentful gleam. Over the years, because of this hideous face, he had endured countless mockeries.


    Though his status as the young master of the Snow Family deterred anyone from mentioning it to his face, rumors inevitably reached his ears.


    "Blaze Regret, is it?"


    Snow Kil let out a cold snort. "He merely relied on sheer luck to win during the Angsana Pavilion Festival. This boy dared to disfigure Snow Amar''s face like that. If he truly dares to show up, I will tear his entire face off."


    Snow Amar''s smile was vicious as it curled at the corners of his mouth.


    "The next match: Blaze Regret of the Blaze Family versus Snow Kil of the Snow Family."


    As this announcement echoed, the previously bustling square fell into sudden silence. The crowd''s gaze first fell on Kartis Feng, then collectively shifted to the empty spot beside Blaze Peter.


    "Who is Blaze Regret?" sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Amidst the crowd, someone, sensing the peculiar atmosphere, couldn''t help but ask.


    Two years had passed, and many had completely forgotten about Blaze Regret. Some even had no idea who he was.


    "He is the son of Blaze Ash, the head of the Blaze Family. Perhaps that doesn''t mean much to you, but Snow Amar''s face was ruined because of him."


    As this faint explanation spread, many young individuals exchanged puzzled glances. Snow Amar''s strength, though not on par with Snow Kil''s, had still reached the level of a ninth tier spirit warrior master.


    Curiosity piqued, they were eager to see what kind of person could have injured Snow Amar so severely.


    "Boom!"


    With a muffled sound, a figure clad in earthy yellow descended onto the stone platform. The powerful ripples of energy spread out forcefully, silencing those who had been whispering just moments before.


    A mid tier second level Imperial grade spiritual beast, the Stone Armored Bear, with earth attributes.


    Standing on the stone platform with a stoic expression, the Stone Armored Bear''s arms hung slightly, its massive claws glinting with a sharp, cold light. Snowflakes falling from the sky dissipated before they could even reach it, scattered by the spiritual energy it emitted.


    Sky Diana bit her lip lightly, her pretty face tinged with gloom. It was this very Stone Armored Bear that had swatted away her wind elemental with a single strike, leaving it with injuries that wouldn''t heal for months.


    "Where is that ant named Blaze Regret? Get out here!"


    Snow Kil stood up, his hands clasped behind his back, and looked down at the members of the Blaze Family with a disdainful gaze. His voice carried an air of casual indifference, as if this battle was as trivial to him as eating or drinking tea.

 Chapter 341 - 341 Shock

    As a second tier spirit Imperial master, he had ceased to regard the younger generation of Velorian City as competition.


    "Young man, don''t be so arrogant. If Blaze Regret returns, you might not even have the courage to face him," Blaze Peter said coldly.


    Through several messages from Blaze Wahab, Blaze Peter had come to understand just how powerful Blaze Regret had become, leaving even him, the second elder of the Blaze Family, far behind.


    "Pretentious."


    Snow Kil shifted his gaze to the elder on the side of the high platform and said dismissively, "He''s just a coward hiding in the shadows, unworthy of being my opponent. Go ahead and declare the result of the battle."


    Below the platform, the members of the Snow Family wore cold smiles.


    "It seems this battle will be quite dull," Snow Fazlin remarked with a smile, casting a provocative glance at the Blaze Family.


    "Whoosh!"


    At the very moment his last word fell, a sharp sound of wind suddenly reached from the sky, and a silver silhouette plummeted down with a thunderous crash.


    "Boom!"


    The foot of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros stomped heavily onto the Stone Armored Bear''s head. With a resounding crash, a cloud of dust and debris erupted, tearing through the air in a path of destruction that extended for dozens of feet before slowly settling.


    At the end of the fissure, the Stone Armored Bear lay covered in dust, motionless, its head completely caved in.


    The corpse of the Stone Armor Bear lay there quietly. After a while, a trickle of blood flowed from the back of its head. The crack extended to underfoot, and Snow Kil stood there dumbfounded, his mind blank, and at this moment, he lost the ability to think.


    The Stone Armor Bear is dead?


    The surrounding crowd, after a moment of silence, erupted into a series of shocked gasps, and immediately their gazes collectively focused on the silver figure on the high platform.


    Standing there with an indifferent expression, the face of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros appeared quite majestic, the silver armor covering its body shimmered with a hard luster, making it intimidating to behold.


    "A Ninth level Imperial grade spirit beast!"


    Snow Ahmad''s face suddenly changed. He had never heard of any earth element spirit master in Velorian City possessing the strength of the ninth level, and moreover, this person dared to oppose the Snow family.


    "Who exactly are you, sneaking around? If you have the guts, come out!" Snow Ahmad shouted angrily.


    The dust wave behind the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros gradually dissipated, revealing a thin figure slowly emerging.


    "Elder Snow Ahmad, it''s been many years since we last met. Your strength hasn''t changed, but your temper has grown quite a bit." Blaze Regret said with a slight smile, his lips curving upwards.


    "Blaze Regret!"


    Staring at the young man on the platform, Snow Ahmad exclaimed in shock, while the rest of the area instantly fell into a dead silence.


    The owner of that powerful spirit beast was actually Blaze Regret?


    Snow Kil raised his head with difficulty and looked at Blaze Regret, a strong sense of bitterness emerging at the corners of his mouth. It turned out that the strength he had always been so proud of was merely something that could be trampled upon by others.


    What was laughable was that he had been so complacent all along.


    "How is this possible!"


    Snow Fazlin suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief, while behind him, Snow Amar and Snow Feng''s eyes were wide open like dead fish. Could it be that Blaze Regret has become so powerful now?


    "Is he really Blaze Regret?"


    Many young girls from various families looked at the gentle face on the stage, smiling like spring, with twinkling stars in their eyes. Compared to him, those so called geniuses of Velorian City were simply not worth mentioning.


    "Good lad, you finally made it back." Blaze Peter watched Blaze Regret''s now more chiseled face, a hint of gratification passing through his cloudy old eyes, and he spoke with a cheerful smile.


    "Well, aren''t you going to announce the result?" Blaze Regret smiled, glancing at the elder nearby, who was staring in disbelief.


    "In this battle, Blaze Family''s Blaze Regret wins!" The elder was startled and quickly announced.


    Over the years, having hosted so many spirit battles, this was the first time he had seen a match with such a disparity in strength, where the beginning and end of the fight happened in an instant.


    "Blaze Regret, Blaze Regret..."


    With teeth clenched, drawing blood from his lips, Snow Amar''s body trembled. The vast gap between him and Blaze Regret instilled a sense of despair within him.


    "Whew!"


    Covering her chest with her delicate hand, Sky Diana smiled radiantly. The boy who was once somewhat immature seemed to have matured significantly.


    Moreover, he now possessed an attraction he didn''t have before.


    Thinking of this, Sky Diana''s beautiful face flushed slightly, and then she embarrassedly rubbed her cheeks, as she had never displayed such a loss of composure before.


    "Boy, wasn''t that a bit too ruthless?" Snow Ahmad''s eyes darkened as he looked at Blaze Regret, his voice seeping through gritted teeth, tinged with a chilling coldness.


    "There are harsher methods. Want to try them?" Blaze Regret''s smile slowly crept up his face as he responded.


    You''re kidding, right? If he had lost, his fate would have been even worse than Snow Kil''s, possibly even costing him his life. By only killing the latter''s spirit beast, he was already deliberately holding back.


    To friends, he would be sincere, but to enemies, he would show no mercy. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    This was his consistent principle of action.


    "Good, very good!"


    Snow Ahmad took a step forward, his hand swirling in the air as his voice, laced with a cold sneer, echoed: "In that case, let''s see just how capable you truly are!"


    A summoning spirit array in earthy yellow rapidly sketched itself out, and Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly.

 Chapter 342 - 342 Expose

    Snow Ahmad''s strength had surprisingly reached the ninth level of a spirit Imperial master, indicating that he hadn''t wasted these years; his rate of improvement was indeed quite rapid.


    Seeing Snow Ahmad suddenly make a move, many people below the stage exchanged looks, feeling that this was somewhat against the rules. However, none dared to speak out and stop it, as anyone who had lived in Velorian City would know that the relationship between the Blaze family and the Snow family had already reached an irreconcilable state.


    Powerful spiritual energy burst forth from the summoning array, and the massive body of the Earth Splitting Scorpion appeared on the high platform. Its gleaming, sharp pincers scared the judging elder into fleeing the stage hastily.


    This battle had completely exceeded the scope of the spirit battle event.


    Sitting below the platform, Blaze Peter let out a cold laugh, his face showing no hint of urgency. In the past, Snow Ahmad could chase Blaze Regret all over the city, but at this moment, the latter''s strength was incomparable to before.


    "Earth Splitting Scorpion, Rock Light Slash!"


    As Snow Ahmad''s shout fell, the Earth Splitting Scorpion crossed its claws in front of it and then suddenly swung them out. The vast spiritual energy transformed into a massive crossed light slash that tore through the air, slashing towards the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros with lightning speed.


    "Within three breaths, end the battle." Blaze Regret gazed at the fierce assault of the Earth Splitting Scorpion, speaking in a detached tone.


    With an expressionless nod, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros slightly clenched its fist before unleashing a powerful punch. The robust spiritual energy surged forth, forming a roaring silver rock dragon that collided heavily with the massive light slash.


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous sound erupted as the dragon''s head was directly sliced with two distinct marks, while the crossed light slash shattered explosively into countless fragments, scattering like gravel.


    Seeing this, Snow Ahmad''s pupils contracted sharply.


    After shattering the light slash, the silver rock dragon continued its momentum, crashing into the Earth Splitting Scorpion''s claws, which were raised defensively in front. The immense force contained within the dragon pushed the scorpion back several dozen meters, tearing a deep trench into the ground.


    "Boom!"


    With a stomp on the ground, the air exploded as the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros darted in a flash to the Earth Splitting Scorpion''s front. Its massive hand reached out, seizing the scorpion''s tail as it violently thrust forward.


    "Not good, retreat quickly!" Snow Ahmad felt a chill rise within him and shouted urgently.


    However, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros paid no heed to the shout. It yanked its arm back fiercely, causing the Earth Splitting Scorpion''s body to trace an arc through the air before slamming solidly into the ground behind. Cracks spread rapidly from the impact point.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    Standing its ground, the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros wildly smashed the Earth Splitting Scorpion repeatedly. The surrounding platform was pounded into deep craters, and the ground within a radius of a thousand feet trembled continuously, as if experiencing an earthquake.


    Fragments of shattered rocks flew out from where the Earth Splitting Scorpion was smashed, echoing a deep rumbling sound on the high platform. Everyone''s gaze was fixed, dumbstruck, on the Earth Splitting Scorpion, which was being battered around like a sandbag. Some even had a slight tremor at the corners of their mouths.


    That was a ninth tier advanced Imperial grade spirit beast, an extremely powerful presence in the entire Velorian City. Yet, in front of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerois, it didn''t even have the right to resist.


    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinocerous slowly stopped its actions, glanced at the nearly lifeless Earth Splitting Scorpion, and then disdainfully flicked its arm. Instantly, the scorpion''s body turned into a fierce gust of wind, shooting into the rocky ground at Snow Ahmad''s feet, revealing less than half of its body.


    Looking down at the shattered shell of the Earth Splitting Scorpion, Snow Ahmad''s old face was stiff, and his fingers hanging beside his legs trembled continuously with fear.


    He had consumed a large amount of spiritual medicine to painstakingly enhance the Earth Splitting Scorpion, yet it was defeated by a junior? sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Moreover, this was already the second Earth Splitting Scorpion he had lost.


    "This battle, the Blaze Family..."


    The elder below the stage reflexively wanted to announce the result, but strange gazes shot toward him, startling him into silence. He suddenly recalled that this battle was not part of the Spirit Duel Assembly''s schedule.


    Looking at the young man on stage with a gentle smile, Snow Fazlin''s face turned as dark and frightening as an impending storm. The speed of Blaze Regret''s growth was too rapid. If left unchecked, he feared that when Blaze Regret returned from his next journey, the entire Velorian City would be trampled under his feet.


    "Hehe."


    Blaze Peter gently stroked his beard and chuckled softly, while the Blaze Family members behind him appeared exhilarated. If nothing unexpected happened in this Spirit Duel Assembly, the biggest winner would undoubtedly be the Blaze Family.


    "Blaze Ash, you''ve truly raised a good son," a sinister voice squeezed through Snow Fazlin''s gritted teeth.


    Blaze Regret glanced at the gloomy faced Snow Fazlin and smiled faintly. He then lifted his foot, preparing to step down from the stage.


    "Wait."


    At this moment, Snow Fazlin''s deep voice suddenly resounded.


    Casting a glance over Blaze Regret, Snow Fazlin turned to Blaze Peter, his expression unfriendly, and said, "Elder Blaze, a few months ago, our Snow family''s business at Bloodstone Pass suffered a significant impact. Could the head of the Blaze Family come out and explain this matter?"


    Upon hearing this, Sky Rodzi, Met Intan, and others slightly narrowed their eyes. Long ago, the figure of Blaze Ash had completely disappeared from Velorian City. Many rumors suggested that Blaze Ash might have perished somewhere.


    Otherwise, how could the head of a family be missing for nearly half a year?

 Chapter 343 - 343 Challenge Snow Fazlin

    Once this news was confirmed, the Snow family, being the old rival of the Blaze Family, would undoubtedly launch a ruthless attack, aiming to crush the Blaze Family instantly.


    "Explain? What kind of explanation do you want?" Blaze Peter''s voice was calm, as if he hadn''t heard the cold intent of killing within Snow Fazlin''s words.


    "If you can''t clarify this matter, it''s better to have the Blaze Family head come out."


    Snow Fazlin stood up with a cold smile, and several strong members of the Snow family behind him also rose. Their murderous gazes were all focused on the members of the Blaze Family.


    They were prepared to completely tear the facade apart.


    Facing the murderous Snow family, the composure on Blaze Peter''s face gradually faded, and his brow slowly furrowed. The Snow family''s bold targeting of the Blaze Family suggested they had caught wind of something.


    At such a time, using words to cover up would be a foolish act.


    "I heard that a few months ago, the head of the Blaze Family was buried outside the city. I wonder if Elder Blaze is aware of this," Snow Fazlin''s gaze, as sharp as a blade, was fixed on Blaze Peter.


    Blaze Peter''s chest heaved slightly, and his eyes were icy. Although this information wasn''t accurate, the most critical point was indeed as Snow Fazlin stated.


    At present, Blaze Ash was indeed not in Velorian City, so whether he was alive or not would not deter the Snow family from their predatory ambitions.


    For a moment, the members of the Blaze Family fell into silence, but each person was on edge, their nerves stretched to the limit. If Snow Fazlin insisted on taking action today, the situation for the Blaze Family would become extremely precarious.


    After all, Snow Fazlin was indeed a genuine sixth tier Spirit Lord Master.


    "Elder Blaze, please summon the head of the Blaze Family. Does my presence not warrant his appearance?" Snow Fazlin looked at Blaze Peter, his voice laced with a subtle threat.


    Hearing this, Blaze Peter''s hand inside his sleeve slightly clenched, a drop of cold sweat sliding down his face. The annihilation of a family was not unheard of in Velorian City, and he firmly believed that if Snow Fazlin decided to make a move, the outcome would inevitably be a complete extermination.


    "My father is indeed still alive," a voice rang out from the stage, causing a gleam to flash in Snow Fazlin''s eyes. His gaze slowly settled on Blaze Regret.


    "However, even your presence isn''t enough to summon him," Blaze Regret grinned and said.


    Blaze Regret''s voice, tinged with a faint smile, spread out, leaving many with a slight sense of disbelief. Although Blaze Regret had defeated Snow Ahmad, showcasing remarkable strength, the head of the Snow family, Snow Fazlin, was not someone of Snow Ahmad''s caliber. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The gap between a Spirit Imperial Master and a Spirit Lord Master was insurmountable.


    "So, you''re saying that if I destroy the Blaze Family now, Blaze Ash would be powerless to intervene?" Snow Fazlin stared at Blaze Regret, a sinister killing intent gradually rising in his eyes.


    Snow Fazlin''s hatred for Blaze Regret was immense. His most beloved offspring was Snow Amar, and it was this young man who had horribly disfigured Snow Amar''s face. If given the chance, Snow Fazlin wouldn''t hesitate to use the most brutal methods to torture Blaze Regret to death.


    "Indeed, that''s the case," Blaze Regret nodded slightly, smiling as he spoke.


    As soon as these words were uttered, everyone''s minds buzzed with disbelief. They began to question whether Blaze Regret had lost his mind, considering the Snow family, led by Snow Fazlin, was threatening to annihilate their family!


    Yet, Blaze Regret seemed utterly unfazed.


    Observing the smile on Blaze Regret''s face, both Sky Rodzi and Met Intan''s eyes held a peculiar glint. They certainly didn''t believe Blaze Regret was courting death intentionally. If he dared to speak so boldly, he must have some hidden advantage or plan.


    But what kind of hidden advantage could give a seventh tier Spirit Emperial Master the courage to face a sixth tier Spirit Lord Master head on?


    "Bring out the person behind you," Snow Fazlin said coldly, his eyes glinting with a chilling light.


    "Behind me?"


    A trace of surprise flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes, but he quickly understood, letting out a light chuckle. "Sorry, I don''t have any helpers. I simply wish to personally experience the means of the Snow family head."


    When Blaze Regret''s voice, tinged with a faint smile, echoed across the square, many people''s mouths slightly agape, and their gazes on the tall figure on the stage became somewhat dazed.


    Blaze Regret actually wants to challenge Snow Fazlin?


    Below the stage, Sky Rodzi and Met Intan were momentarily stunned. They exchanged glances, each noticing the shock in the other''s eyes, even suspecting they might have misheard.


    "You want to fight me?" Snow Fazlin''s expression gradually turned icy. Being challenged by a junior made him feel greatly insulted.


    Facing Snow Fazlin''s gloomy demeanor, Blaze Regret merely nodded with a faint smile.


    "What gives you the right to say such a thing!"


    A flash of coldness appeared in Snow Fazlin''s eyes as he stomped on the ground. Instantly, at the edge of the stone platform where Blaze Regret stood, large, withered yellow branches shot up into the sky. Their sharp tips tore through the hard rock, writhing madly in mid air, casting shadows below.


    Under the shadow''s cover, the calm smile on Blaze Regret''s face did not diminish in the slightest.


    "Clang!"


    The ground shook violently, and a massive figure burst forth from the earth beside Snow Fazlin, staring coldly at Blaze Regret.


    It was a spirit beast resembling a withered tree. Its bark was cracked all over, and hollow eyes flickered with a ghostly green light. As the branch like arms on either side of its body trembled, the massive branches surrounding Blaze Regret instantly froze, resembling a forest of deadwood.

 Chapter 344 - 344: 344 Challenge Snow Fazlin 2

    "The Wild Wood Demon!" Met Intan''s eyes widened in shock, unable to conceal his astonishment upon seeing the spirit beast beside Snow Fazlin.


    "Snow Fazlin, you actually succeeded," Sky Rodzi murmured lowly, his expression equally grim.


    "Father, what succeeded?" Sky Diana asked, puzzled, turning to Sky Rodzi.


    "Snow Fazlin''s chief spirit beast was originally just a sixth tier mid level lord grade Withered Wood Demon. With the aptitude of such a spirit beast, it''s difficult to advance further unless one ventures deep into the mountains to find a spirit beast called the Wood Spirit Lotus. By defeating it, taking its seeds, and consuming them, one can refine and enhance their own aptitude."


    "Only by employing this method can a mid level lord grade Withered Wood Demon undergo a mutation to become a Wild Wood Demon, experiencing a rebirth and ascending to higher levels. At this stage, the Wild Wood Demon will also break through to become a high level lord grade spirit beast," Sky Rodzi explained in a low voice.


    Hearing this, Sky Diana''s beautiful eyes showed a hint of surprise.


    Despite the seemingly slight difference between mid level and high level lord grade, the actual power they can wield is vastly different. This difference not only signifies an advancement in rank but also means that its spiritual abilities become even more formidable!


    "A high tier sixth level Lord grade, huh," Blaze Regret mused, looking up at the branches that blotted out the sky. He couldn''t help but sigh inwardly, realizing that Snow Fazlin was undoubtedly more formidable now than two years ago.


    While Blaze Regret was encircled by the Wild Wood Demon''s branches, an incongruous voice suddenly emerged from a corner below the stage.


    "Heh, a mere spirit Imperial master dares to challenge a spirit Lord master. Just a little achievement and he becomes ignorant of his limits. Such a person will remain stuck at this level for life," sneered a young man with a sarcastic tone.


    This person, named Ant Che, belonged to a minor family in Velorian City, which relied on the Snow family for survival. Thus, Ant Che harbored an inexplicable hostility towards Blaze Regret. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "How can you speak like that?" A young girl nearby, hearing his words, felt a surge of anger.


    The girl, named Lili Yun, had developed a sense of admiration for Blaze Regret after he had decisively defeated Snow Ahmad earlier. Hearing Ant Che''s disparagement of Blaze Regret, she couldn''t help but voice her discontent.


    "Am I wrong?" Ant Che retorted with a jealous sneer upon seeing Lili Yun speak up for Blaze Regret.


    "He dares to challenge a spirit Lord master, while you probably don''t even have the courage to face one," Lili Yun retorted angrily.


    "Unbelievable. Just wait to see how he meets his end," Ant Che said, turning his head, his eyes filled with mockery as he looked at Blaze Regret standing among the branches on the stage.


    "With that, you probably don''t even have the qualification to challenge me," Snow Fazlin sneered at Blaze Regret, casting a glance at the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    "Indeed, the gap between a ninth level Imperial Grade and a sixth level lord grade is truly insurmountable."


    Blaze Regret nodded noncommittally, and then a faint smile curved his lips as he softly said, "Then it will have to be you."


    As Blaze Regret''s voice fell, a green spiritual array began to form in the air in front of him, emitting a subtle and refreshing fragrance that invigorated those who inhaled it.


    "A Tri Origin Spirit master!"


    Snow Fazlin''s expression turned grim, and his intent to kill Blaze Regret surged even higher. A low level Tri Origin Spirit Master was not particularly threatening, but if allowed to grow, even Snow Fazlin might find it difficult to suppress him in the future.


    "Kill him," Snow Fazlin commanded decisively.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Wild Wood Demon shook its arm, and the towering branches surrounding the platform whipped through the air with a howling sound, descending toward the center with formidable force. The momentum was terrifying.


    "Boom!"


    A deep sound echoed as the sturdy platform cracked with numerous fissures before collapsing entirely. Invisible shockwaves, mixed with bits of rubble, swept out in a circular pattern.


    The entire platform became shrouded in a thick cloud of dust.


    "Cough, cough!"


    Even though many people immediately deployed defensive spiritual techniques, quite a few still found their mouths and noses filled with dust, leading to a chorus of violent coughing.


    "Second Elder, is Blaze Regret alright?"


    Brushing the dust off his clothes, Blaze Tot looked toward the platform with a face full of fear. There, countless massive branches had fallen, resembling coiled dragons lying in wait.


    "He should be fine," Blaze Peter said somewhat uncertainly. After all, the information Blaze Peter had received about Blaze Regret was quite limited. He knew that Blaze Regret had once killed a third tier spirit Lord master, but Snow Fazlin''s strength was far superior to that of the third tier spirit Lord master.


    "Serves him right for trying to show off; if he''s dead, it''s his own fault," Ant Che said, slapping his thigh in delight and laughing.


    As for Lili Yun, she bit her lip gently, her eyes fixed intently on the center of the platform, where the dust was gradually settling.


    Suddenly, a wave of astonished gasps erupted as everyone gazed in disbelief at Blaze Regret, who stood on the shattered platform with a gentle smile on his face.


    Beside him was a small, delicate green beast, adorably raising its hands. The seemingly thick branches were being held aloft, supported by vines shooting from its palms.


    The withered branches, resembling twisting dragons, were pushed aside by the vine in Ethereal Lotus''s palm, creating a small space that drew everyone''s attention.


    A moment later, a shocked cry shattered the silence in the scene.


    "A Tier 3 Advanced Lord grade Spirit Beast!"


    The source of this voice was Sky Rodzi, whose eyes narrowed in surprise. Normally, given his temperament, it would be impossible for him to lose his composure like this.

 Chapter 345 - 345: 345 Challenge Snow Fazlin 3

    However, a Tier 7 Spirit Imperial Master summoning such a powerful spirit beast was indeed astonishing to him.


    Of course, his knowledge was slightly lacking compared to Silver Lucas''s, as he was unaware of the existence of mysterious beasts on this continent.


    "Swish!"


    With a flick of Ethereal Lotus''s hand, the vine swirled, sending a few emerald green flashes slicing through the air. The tough branches of the Wild Wood Demon were cut cleanly, falling to the ground with a snap, and the break was as smooth as a mirror.


    "What kind of spirit beast is this?" Snow Ahmad exclaimed in shock, his expression turning extremely grim.


    His Wild Wood Demon, being of wood attribute and even of the same tier, would find it difficult to have its branches severed so easily. Yet, the little beast beside Blaze Regret was merely a Tier 3 Advanced Lord grade.


    Watching Snow Ahmad''s constantly changing expression, Blaze Regret gave a faint smile. He then stepped back quickly, exiting the battle zone''s range.


    Even if the Wild Wood Demon''s tier was higher than Ethereal Lotus''s, the unique characteristics of the mysterious beast significantly reduced its advantage. At this moment, it was facing what seemed more like a fire attribute spirit beast that strongly countered it.


    "No matter what you are, just die! Wild Wood Demon, use Root Bind!" Snow Ahmad commanded coldly.


    "Boom!"


    Hearing the command, the Wild Wood Demon''s roots dug deeply into the ground. Moments later, countless slender roots burst forth from the earth around Ethereal Lotus, writhing like agile little snakes, aiming to entwine it.


    Ethereal Lotus''s eyes flashed slightly as she leaped into the air. While airborne, her small hands rapidly formed seals, and emerald green spiritual energy surged between her hands, swiftly transforming into a giant leaf.


    The leaf appeared in a spiral form and began rotating rapidly the moment it emerged, enveloped below by a faint green energy arc.


    "Boom!"


    As Ethereal Lotus thrust her hands forward, the leaf shot downward like a cannonball, accompanied by resounding sonic booms, targeting the slender roots that were curling towards her.


    Advanced Lord grade Spiritual Technique: Spiral Leaf Cannon!


    The spinning spiral leaf exploded upon contact with the encroaching roots, unleashing a wave of emerald green energy that instantly obliterated the roots.


    Waves of energy rippled outward beneath Ethereal Lotus, continuously spreading and even shattering the thick branches around her.


    "Snap!"


    Ethereal Lotus lightly tapped a rock, landing steadily on a protruding boulder. As she stood up, verdant leaves began swirling around her, swiftly sweeping out like a tornado.


    "Crack! Crack!"


    As the tornado swept through, the ground''s fragmented rocks were pulverized, leaving a long trench in its wake.


    Watching the oncoming storm of leaves, the hollow eye sockets of the Wild Wood Demon flickered with a dim light. With a loud thud, its body, supported by several branches, hovered a meter above the ground. Meanwhile, the broken roots beneath it rapidly extended, twisting into what resembled a massive wooden foot.


    Spiritual Technique: Giant Wood Stomp!


    As a mutated form of the Withered Wood Demon, the Wild Wood Demon could naturally wield this highly destructive spiritual technique. As its giant wooden foot stomped down, the furious leaf storm was scattered, and sharp leaves pierced the ground at an angle.


    "Boom!"


    The wooden foot, entwined beneath the Wild Wood Demon''s trunk, crushed the leaf storm and descended towards Ethereal Lotus, casting a considerable shadow over her diminutive form.


    "Hmph!"


    Seemingly displeased with this form of attack, Ethereal Lotus flicked her small hand, and a slender emerald green vine shot out like lightning. In mid air, the vine quickly curled, forming an emerald green vine wheel. The edge of this wheel was lined with sharp spikes, their tips glinting like cold stars.


    "Whoosh!"


    A slightly sharp sound of the wind being sliced through echoed as the vine wheel tore through the air, meeting the oncoming foot of the Wild Wood Demon.


    At the moment of contact, a powerful gust swept out, cracking the ground below into a web of fissures and shattering rocks with a resounding crack.


    After a brief stalemate, the vine wheel shattered into pieces, and the foot of the Wild Wood Demon, formed by twisted roots, was covered in cracks. Finally, with a boom, a violent burst of energy erupted.


    "Clang!"


    The Wild Wood Demon was thrown back in disarray, its branches gouging deep pits into the ground. It didn''t come to a steady halt until these pits stretched several meters.


    Across from it, Ethereal Lotus waved a single leaf provocatively.


    "What on earth is that thing?" Snow Ahmad''s face was frosty as he looked at Ethereal Lotus. He couldn''t comprehend how she could face the Wild Wood Demon without defeat with just a Tier 3 strength. This inexplicable situation was driving him nearly insane.


    In fact, it wasn''t just him; even Sky Rodzi and Met Intan were baffled. Their experience paled in comparison to those who had spent years battling outside, like Silver Lucas and others.


    "It''s just a pretty vase; it won''t be long before it falls," Ant Che asserted confidently.


    As for his arrogance, Lili Yun had grown tired of engaging with him. Her eyes were fixed solely on the petite Ethereal Lotus, who had an irresistible charm to young girls.


    Standing at a distance from the battle zone, Blaze Regret''s eyes glimmered with curiosity. The spiritual technique Ethereal Lotus had just used was the high level lord tier technique, Thorn Wheel, known for being one of her fastest deployed techniques.


    "If that''s the case, then it seems I''ll have to use that move," he thought.


    A sinister gleam intensified in Snow Ahmad''s eyes as spiritual seals rapidly circled around his palm. He then forcefully pressed down in the direction of the Withered Wood Demon, announcing, "Advanced Lord grade Spiritual Technique: Source of Desiccation!"


    As this malevolent voice echoed, the expression of the Withered Wood Demon turned fiercely hideous. Its body shuddered violently, and the branches surrounding it exploded instantaneously, leaving only a bare trunk.

 Chapter 346 - 346 Challenge Snow Fazlin 4

    Following the explosion of the branches, desiccated yellow energy rapidly gathered above its head, transforming at an astonishing speed into a sharp wooden needle. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Although the wooden needle appeared slender, the moment it materialized, the surrounding space seemed to fracture with lines, as if being sliced apart.


    Source of Desiccation: Withered Wood Needle!


    Tiny withered wooden needles hovered in front of the Wild Wood Demon, emitting a sharp aura that, even from a distance, caused a stinging sensation on the skin of many onlookers.


    At the very moment this withered wooden needle appeared, the Wild wood Demon''s aura became extremely feeble. It was evident that this spiritual technique imposed a tremendous burden on it.


    "Whizz!"


    After a brief pause, the withered wooden needle shot out violently, resembling a miniature whirlwind, darting straight toward Ethereal Lotus. Behind it, the air appeared slightly distorted, and the piercing sound of the needle cutting through the wind echoed incessantly.


    The speed of the withered wooden needle was incredibly fast; in just a blink, it appeared in front of Ethereal Lotus. Its sharp tip seemed as though it would tear through space.


    With a sinister curve at the corner of his mouth, Snow Fazlin fixed his gaze intently in the direction of the withered wooden needle. It was only a matter of moments before Blaze Regret''s spirit beast would become a withered corpse.


    "Buzz!"


    The fierce wind stung the eyes, making them water slightly. Ethereal Lotus raised a small hand, sending out ripples of emerald green spiritual power to meet the whistling withered wooden needle head on.


    In an instant, the extremely sharp withered wooden needle froze just before Ethereal Lotus''s palm. Visible ripples spread from its needle tip, and a low buzzing sound continuously reverberated.


    Ethereal Lotus''s small lips pressed slightly together as the color of withered yellow began to spread across her hand. Gradually, the withering spread upward, making her entire arm appear desiccated.


    "So this is the Wild wood Demon''s strongest spiritual technique." Sky Rodzi and Met Intan both wore slightly grave expressions. This eerie scene instilled a sense of dread in their hearts, as even their chief spirit beasts might not survive such an attack.


    "Heh." The sinister smile on Snow Fazlin''s lips grew even more pronounced. Although this method of killing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of his own pained him, as long as he could eliminate Ethereal Lotus, there would be no one left in the Blaze family capable of stopping his advance.


    "Hah!"


    A flash of cold light crossed her eyes as Ethereal Lotus raised her left hand and abruptly opened it. A series of verdant leaves appeared sequentially in front of her, emanating a rich aura of life.


    Snow Fazlin''s brows furrowed slightly upon seeing these suddenly appearing leaves, but he did not panic. He was well aware of how terrifying the Wild wood Demon''s withered wooden needle was.


    Even a spirit beast of the seventh tier lord Grade would slowly exhaust its vitality and wither to death under this attack.


    "Bang!"


    A low sound reverberated as those leaves exploded, transforming into small emerald green light clusters. Under the swirling motion of Ethereal Lotus''s small hand, they gradually settled onto the withered areas.


    As soon as these light clusters touched the arm, they permeated into it. In the next instant, Ethereal Lotus''s body rapidly returned to its original state. In her palm, a drop of intensely concentrated withered yellow liquid quickly coalesced.


    "How can this be!" Snow Fazlin''s face showed shock. Was the Wild wood Demon''s strongest attack unexpectedly broken?


    Glancing at the dismayed Snow Fazlin, Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile. If it were any other spirit beast, they would certainly succumb to this attack, but his Ethereal Lotus was not the least bit afraid of the Wild wood Demon''s bizarre offensive.


    The Radiance of Leaves, a high lord grade spiritual technique, could rapidly repair damaged bodies and even heal special injuries such as burns and poisoning.


    And across the entire continent, only Ethereal Lotus could use such a spiritual technique.


    "Crack!"


    Having exhausted all its spiritual power, cracks spread across the surface of the withered wooden needle. With a cracking sound, it shattered into countless tiny wood fragments, scattering to the ground.


    "Hah!"


    Lifting her gaze slightly, Ethereal Lotus looked at the dazed expression of the Wild wood Demon, and a mocking curve suddenly tugged at the corner of her mouth.


    With a gentle opening of her small hand, she made a distant grasping motion toward where the Wild wood Demon stood.


    "Crack!"


    An emerald green bud emerged at the top of the Wild wood Demon''s body. This unusual color stood out prominently against its withered frame.


    Noticing the bud sprouting from the Wild wood Demon, Snow Fazlin''s expression changed slightly. Although he didn''t know what it was, he was certain it wasn''t a good omen for the Wild wood Demon.


    "Hiss!"


    To the astonishment of the onlookers, buds began to rapidly appear all over the Wild wood Demon''s body, drawing in spiritual energy from the surroundings continuously into their depths.


    As light flickered, the buds slowly bloomed into large, deep crystal blue flowers, surrounding the Wild wood Demon as if transforming it into a flower tree.


    A fresh fragrance permeated the entire square at this moment.


    Glancing at Snow Fazlin''s grim expression, Blaze Regret smiled faintly. These flowers were known as Bi Luo Flowers, a signature of Ethereal Lotus. Once the seeds were embedded within an opponent, they could be quickly activated by Ethereal Lotus to bloom within mere moments.


    Ethereal Lotus had stealthily embedded these seeds within the vines during the earlier needle spike attack. They infiltrated the Wild wood Demon''s body through direct contact.


    All of this was executed without anyone noticing.


    Sky Rodzi and Met Intan''s eyes flickered as they gazed at the abundant flower tree formed by the Wild wood Demon. A profound sense of danger surged within them.

 Chapter 347 - 347 Challenge Snow Fazlin Final

    Without hesitation, they immediately stood up, unleashing torrents of spiritual energy in different colors, forming a solid barrier in front of their respective families.


    Seeing their reactions, others were momentarily stunned, then shivered involuntarily. One after another, they frantically activated defensive spiritual techniques.


    "Detonate."


    As Blaze Regret''s indifferent voice was uttered, a flash of light passed, and the Bi Luo Flower on the right side of the Wild wood Demon exploded with a boom. The terrifying energy released tore a gaping fissure in the ground, and half of the Wild wood Demon''s body vanished in a shocking instant.


    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"


    In the blink of an eye, the crystal blue, magnificent flowers exploded one after another, producing a sound akin to muffled thunder. With each flower''s detonation, a brilliant and fierce gust swept across, spreading wildly.

    The energy from the explosions battered the surrounding barriers, leaving them teetering on the brink of collapse. Apart from Sky Rodzi and Met Intan, the heads of the smaller families wore bitter expressions, with some even coughing up blood from the impact.


    As the final tremendous sound echoed, massive energy patterns of the Bi Luo Flowers solidified in the air, appearing exceptionally splendid.


    Beneath those Bi Luo Flowers, the ground had been blasted into a deep crater, and the Wild wood Demon''s body was completely gone. Only wisps of thin white smoke rose gently from a fragment of withered wood at the bottom of the pit.


    On the dilapidated high platform, the dust gradually settled, and the battle between Blaze Regret and Snow Fazlin concluded with a decisive result at this moment. Around the platform, everyone stood up, and after a brief silence, a wave of astonished murmurs suddenly erupted. Many widened their eyes in shock.


    Snow Fazlin... lost?


    "I must be dreaming," Ant Che muttered, staring at Ethereal Lotus''s unharmed figure, feeling almost suffocated, unwilling to accept such an outcome.


    "Hmph, go on and be proud," Lili Yun snorted softly and turned her head away. Her eyes, however, grew increasingly fervent as she gazed at the young man on the platform.


    "He actually won," Sky Rodzi and Met Intan exchanged glances, a hint of bitterness escaping their lips. They had to admit that this suddenly rising junior had left them far behind.


    It''s important to note that their strength was still a notch below Snow Fazlin''s.


    Gently patting her chest, Sky Diana''s eyes flickered with concealed delight. However, her delicate face suddenly darkened. Two years ago, she could compete alongside Blaze Regret with comparable strength in the Angsana Pavilion Festival, but in the blink of an eye, he had left her far behind.


    "It seems I need to work harder," Sky Diana sighed lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.


    "Blaze Regret, you''re impressive!"


    Giving a thumbs up, Blaze Tot laughed heartily, and then his gaze suddenly fell on Ant Che. A hint of undisguised ridicule appeared on his face.


    Earlier, Ant Che''s voice had been quite loud, and even though they were separated by several families, Blaze Tot had heard their conversation. However, due to the intensity of the battle between Blaze Regret and Snow Fazlin, he couldn''t divert his attention.


    Feeling Blaze Tot''s unfriendly gaze, Ant Che couldn''t help but shiver, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes. He knew very well the consequences of offending someone as vengeful as Blaze Tot.


    "If I had known, I wouldn''t have opposed the Blaze family just to please the Snow Family!"


    Watching Blaze Tot approaching closer, Ant Che''s face filled with terror, and his body seemed to be drained of all strength, collapsing weakly into his chair.


    "Master Snow, aren''t you going to say something?"


    Taking a few steps forward, Blaze Regret absorbed Ethereal Lotus into the Spirit Portal and looked at Snow Fazlin with a cheerful smile.


    "You brat, you truly are ruthless!"


    With bloodshot eyes, Snow Fazlin withdrew his gaze from the broken wooden debris in the pit and fiercely glared at Blaze Regret, resembling a ravenous wolf ready to attack.


    In response to this gaze, Blaze Regret merely offered a faint smile before his expression instantly turned icy cold.


    "Boom!"


    Stomping his foot on the ground, scorching flames erupted, and Blaze Regret''s body shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring, appearing in front of Snow Fazlin in a flash. Silver spiritual energy surged into his palm, and he delivered a powerful strike.


    "Smack!"


    A crisp, muffled sound echoed as Blaze Regret''s palm landed squarely on Snow Fazlin''s crossed arms. The immense force caused Snow Fazlin''s face to turn ashen instantly, and as blood mist sprayed, he staggered back dozens of feet.


    Stomping his foot hard on the ground, Snow Fazlin stabilized his posture, his gaze filled with terror as he looked at his crossed arms in front of his chest. A distinct handprint was imprinted on his forearms.


    Blaze Regret''s single palm had managed to dent both of Snow Fazlin''s arms!


    Maintaining the posture of his palm strike, Blaze Regret''s lips curled slightly, and he gently shook his wrist. The body of a Spirit Lord Master was indeed astonishingly resilient. If it weren''t for Snow Fazlin''s chaotic spiritual energy, preventing him from quickly mobilizing his strength, Blaze Regret might have been the one severely injured.


    "Stop, I am willing to lead the Snow Family out of Velorian City!"


    As he met Blaze Regret''s indifferent gaze, Snow Fazlin trembled all over. Without thinking, his voice, filled with fear, spread across the square.


    Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat stunned. The Snow Family had lived in Velorian City for an unknown number of years, always maintaining their dominant position until over a decade ago when the Blaze family, led by Blaze Ash, suddenly descended upon this small city.


    And today, more than a decade later, Snow Fazlin was defeated by Blaze Regret, forced to utter the words of relocating his entire family.


    Neither father nor son is easy to deal with.

 Chapter 348 - 348 Mastermind

    The same thought emerged in everyone''s mind. Upon hearing these words, the faces of Snow Amar and Snow Feng turned gloomy. They knew very well what awaited the Snow Family once they left Velorian City.


    Not only would years of connections be lost, but finding a place to settle would also be a challenge. Surely no town would be eager to suddenly welcome a family that might compete for resources and influence.


    "Leave?"


    Seeing the mocking curve on Blaze Regret''s lips, Snow Fazlin froze, fear rising in his heart. Could it be that he intended to eradicate them completely?


    "You can survive, but first, you need to explain who is behind you, directing your actions." Blaze Regret clasped his hands behind his back, gazing indifferently into Snow Fazlin''s eyes. The abrupt question left many bewildered.


    A mastermind?


    In this town, who could possibly use the Snow Family as a pawn?


    "I don''t understand what you''re talking about," Snow Fazlin replied with a confused expression, but deep in his eyes, a flicker of concealed panic flashed.


    "As expected, no one listens when you speak nicely."


    Shaking his head with a slight smile, Blaze Regret''s expression suddenly turned sharp. In a flash, he swung his right foot with full force, delivering a fierce kick to Snow Fazlin''s chest.


    "Poof!"


    A mouthful of warm blood spewed uncontrollably as Snow Fazlin''s body flew back, carving a deep trench in the ground. When he finally stopped, another mouthful of blood erupted.


    "If my father''s disappearance was reason enough for you to act, then with your ruthless nature, you wouldn''t have waited until now," Blaze Regret said, standing over Snow Fazlin, looking down at him coldly. In his palm, a sharp ice blade appeared.


    "The Blood Eagle Pavilion, it''s the Blood Eagle Pavilion!"


    Upon seeing the ice blade swirling with cold air in Blaze Regret''s hand, Snow Fazlin''s lips twitched. He then gritted his teeth and uttered a name completely unfamiliar to the residents of Velorian City.


    "Blood Eagle Pavilion, what is that?" Sky Rodzi asked, furrowing his brow in confusion.


    "Blood Eagle Pavilion, huh."


    A faint glint of coldness flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and his expression gradually turned icy. They hadn''t even left Velorian City yet, and someone was already unable to restrain themselves.


    "A minion is still a minion, jumping higher than its master."


    With the chilling ice blade held in a reverse grip, Blaze Regret slowly turned his head, gazing unemotionally in the direction of Snow Storm City. "The Kartis family''s assessment should be starting soon. I''ve heard that achieving success in this assessment allows one to become the Kartis family''s most loyal minion."


    "Then, let''s start with your Blood Eagle Pavilion."


    The grand battle in Velorian City concluded with Blaze Regret severing one of Snow Fazlin''s arms. This impressive confrontation quickly spread like wildfire across the neighboring towns, leaving a deep impression on all who heard of it.


    Upon hearing the news, even the heads of some prominent families were left in stunned silence. As spirit masters themselves, they were well aware of how formidable a sixth tier spirit Lord master like Snow Fazlin could be. Yet, such a daunting figure was defeated by a mere youth.


    Blaze Regret''s mystical creature, Ethereal Lotus, also gained fame, with some places even exaggerating it into a ferocious beast of extreme savagery. Hearing such rumors, Blaze Regret could only chuckle helplessly and shrug his shoulders.


    As for the Snow Family, they suffered a devastating blow. Their most fertile territories were swiftly taken over by the Blaze Family, while their more remote lands were quickly divided among the remaining families.


    While Snow Fazlin and his associates struggled to survive in the shadows, it was clear to any astute observer that their days of prosperity were over. Not to mention the ruthless Blaze Peter, even Sky Rodzi and Met Intan had set their sights on the Snow Family.


    It would not be long before this family was completely erased from existence in Velorian City.


    Of course, Blaze Regret was not particularly concerned with any of this at the moment.


    In the early morning, a biting cold wind blew past the room, swirling fine, icy snowflakes. A thick layer of snow had piled up in the courtyard outside Blaze Regret''s door, and the heavy snowfall continued unabated, turning the landscape into a vast expanse of white.


    "Whoosh!"


    Seated on his bed, Blaze Regret squinted slightly as he exhaled a long breath of white mist, which slightly curled the fur of the creature in front of him, Red.


    Red, curled up into a ball, clutched its fluffy tail and smacked its lips comfortably. In this weather, it seemed to have taken its love of sleep to a new level.


    "The number of forces in Snow Storm City is indeed considerable." S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Flipping through the thick ancient texts, Blaze Regret propped his chin with his hand and muttered to himself.


    As the most prosperous region of the Sun Moon Empire, the sheer size of Snow Storm City was astonishing. Even a hundred Velorian Cities could scarcely compare, and even some vast mountain ranges were encompassed within its bounds.


    This vastness naturally led to an innumerable number of both large and small factions within Snow Storm City.


    While Blaze Regret was engrossed in his study of Snow Storm City, several unfamiliar figures, treading through the thick snow, entered Velorian City.


    Leading the group was an old man, whose face bore an unmistakable air of arrogance the moment he stepped into Velorian City. The young men accompanying him displayed a constant sense of superiority on their faces.


    "This is Velorian City? Indeed, a backwater place, barely any spirit lord masters around," one of the young men remarked disdainfully as he glanced around.


    "Soul Ping, stop nitpicking. A small place is a small place; it can''t compare to our Snow Storm City. Even a single spirit Lord master or a few spirit leaders here could cause a sensation," another young man commented with a chuckle.

 Chapter 349 - 349 The Uninvited Guest

    Hearing their conversation, the lead youth merely curled his lips slightly without speaking.


    This young man was named Soul Yin, currently a fourth tier spirit Imperial master, and the two youths behind him, Soul Ping and Soul ken, were both third tier spirit Imperial masters.


    Such a lineup was quite formidable, enough to dominate the younger generation in some mid sized towns.


    Thus, upon their arrival in Velorian City, their disdain was palpable.


    "Don''t underestimate this town. Though it''s small in scale, the people living here have significant backgrounds," the old man at the front said seriously, his eyes directed toward the Blaze Family''s location.


    "Tch, don''t make it sound so intimidating. Isn''t it just a fallen star? Even our patriarch is much stronger than him now," Soul ken retorted dismissively.


    "True, I guess I''m just getting old and forgetful. But back in the day, Blaze Ash was formidable, and the impression he left is hard to erase," the old man shook his head with a smile.


    "Hehe, Blaze Ash''s son is in the city now, isn''t he? I''m curious to see how long he can last against me," Soul Ping said, his hand clenching slightly as a mocking smile appeared in his eyes.


    "We''ll find out soon enough."


    Soul Yin, who had remained silent until now, suddenly laughed. His arrogance was evident, as defeating the descendant of such a notable figure would certainly give him bragging rights back in Snow Storm City, even if the opponent was considered a nobody.


    The name Blaze Ash, once a taboo in Snow Storm City, had recently begun to circulate like a storm in the community. The reason was the upcoming assessment by the Kartis Family.


    Currently, countless eyes were focused on Velorian City, as rumors suggested that the once renowned Blaze Ash of the empire had appeared there. His descendants were said to reside in this town.


    Many factions in Snow Storm City were eager to discover which lineage was stronger: that of the rival figures Blaze Ash or Kartis sham. However, it was clear that the majority favored Kartis Van, given the overwhelming resources and prosperity of Snow Storm City compared to the meager offerings of Velorian City.


    "Are we really going to deliver this invitation inside?" Soul ken asked, holding a jade like invitation in his hand, glancing with a smirk at the closed gates of the Blaze Family.


    "What else?" Soul Ping grinned, summoning a massive wind eagle beside him. Its clear cry shook the snow off the top of the Blaze Family''s gate.


    "In that case, let''s go ahead and announce our presence." Soul Yin displayed a calm smile as a similar wind eagle circled above him, its sharp wings slicing through the falling snowflakes.


    The Gale Eagle, a mid tier Imperial grade spirit beast, was of the wind attribute.


    As the three enormous wind eagles circled above, the eyes of passersby trembled with apprehension.


    These individuals were clearly intent on making a grand entrance at the Blaze Family''s doorstep.


    The elderly man with the surname Soul did not intervene to stop the actions of the three youths. Instead, he watched with a cheerful demeanor, as he did not consider the small Blaze Family worthy of his concern.


    After circling the skies for a while, the three Gale Eagles fixed their sharp gaze on the Blaze Family''s gate. Their talons began to shimmer with a bluish wind glow, and they swooped down with lightning speed.


    "Whoosh!" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The piercing sound of the wind echoed instantly.


    Three sharp eyed Gale Eagles, with a faint azure glow on their claws, swooped down with a whistle, scattering the snowflakes in the sky with the force contained in their descent.


    The passersby watching the sudden appearance of several strangers in front of the Blaze Family''s gate were filled with astonishment, while some hidden spirit master experts looked on with grave expressions.


    "The Soul Family from Snow Storm City, is it?"


    Standing on a pavilion, Mol Mark gazed at the smiling elder of the Soul Family, slightly furrowing his brow. As someone who came from the Angsana Pavillion, he naturally understood what the appearance of the Soul Family signified.


    In Snow Storm City, medium sized forces like the Soul Family were all loyal to the Kartis Family!


    Even the Blood Eagle Pavilion was no exception.


    "Swish!"


    The Gale Eagles swooped down with astonishing speed. In just a moment, they appeared in front of the Blaze Family''s main gate, their claws radiating a cold luster akin to sharp metal.


    The corners of Soul Yin and the others'' mouths lifted slightly, revealing mocking smiles on their faces. Bullying small families was something they had done quite often.


    "Swish!"


    However, just as the Gale Eagles'' sharp claws were about to tear apart the gate, a pale yellow shadow suddenly leapt down from the high wall with a swift sound of wind breaking. Following that, a sharp semicircular arc flashed through the air.


    "Snap!"


    With a firm step on the snow, Red landed steadily on the ground. Behind it, the three Gale Eagles let out mournful cries, and then their bodies were sent flying backward, disappearing into the thick snow.


    In the next moment, three gleaming claws, still carrying traces of blood, were embedded in the snow beside them.


    In just the blink of an eye, the formerly majestic Gale Eagles had all had their claws severed.


    Staring at the continuously whimpering Gale Eagles, the elder of the Soul Family and Soul Yin and the others were like statues, their eyes vacant. Slowly, their stiff gazes lifted.


    "Zhi~"


    The grand gate slowly opened, revealing a somewhat lean figure who emerged into the gaze of the onlookers.


    "So, we have guests."


    Standing on the threshold, Blaze Regret smiled as he sized up the visitors, showing no sign of surprise at the arrival of these uninvited guests.


    "A seventh tier Spirit Imperial Master!"


    The elder from the Soul Family looked at Blaze Regret, his eyes suddenly sharpening. Such strength, even in Snow Storm City, would be considered top notch.

 Chapter 350 - 350 Invitation (Bonus)

    It was hard to imagine that such a genius could emerge in a small place like Velorian City.


    "Young man, injuring someone else''s spirit beasts right off the bat, isn''t that a bit too cruel?" The elder took a deep breath, a hint of coldness flickering in his slightly narrowed old eyes.


    Hearing this, Soul Yin and the others also reacted, glaring at Blaze Regret with indignation.


    "Cruel?"


    Blaze Regret curled his lips in a cold sneer and said, "You all were about to smash the gate of my Blaze Family, and you expect me to treat you politely? Are you out of your mind, or do you not have a mind at all?"


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s merciless words, the elder''s face grew increasingly sullen, and after a moment, a voice filled with intense coldness slowly emerged from his mouth.


    "Soul Ping, give it to him."


    Casting a fierce glare at Blaze Regret, Soul Ping waved his hand, sending a white jade invitation flying towards Blaze Regret with a sharp whooshing sound.


    "Snap!"


    With a slight clench of his uplifted hand, Blaze Regret caught the jade invitation in his grasp. He smiled at the group, but this seemingly warm smile was filled with mocking provocation in the eyes of the Soul Family members. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!"


    With his chest gently rising and falling, Soul Yin let out a long breath. The revelation of Blaze Regret''s seventh tier Spirit Imperial Master strength had undoubtedly dealt a severe blow to his confidence, and he still hadn''t fully recovered.


    Unfolding the white jade invitation, Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over it, and the cold smile at the corner of his mouth gradually widened.


    "The Kartis Family, you really are ruthless."


    With a swift motion, he crushed the jade invitation in his hand, his eyes flickering with a deep, cold light. The Kartis Family had the audacity to invite him to participate in the assessment, not only as a means to humiliate his father but also as an attempt to permanently trap him in Snow Storm City.


    He had no doubt that Kartis Van would seize the chance during that so called assessment to eliminate him.


    "Are you also participating in the Kartis Family''s assessment?" Blaze Regret looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he regarded Soul Yin and the others.


    "Of course." Soul Ping puffed out his chest with a proud demeanor, as if being able to participate in the Kartis Family''s assessment was an immense honor.


    "So, there really are people in this world eager to become someone else''s pawn." Blaze Regret shook his head with a chuckle.


    The Kartis Family''s so called assessment was essentially a method to bring in fresh blood. All young spirit Master in Snow Storm City were eligible to participate, and those who performed outstandingly could receive rewards from the Kartis Family, which included becoming a member of the Kartis Family.


    However, from that point on, they would need to abandon their original surname and adopt the Kartis surname.


    Yet, to many, this was not a disgrace but rather an opportunity to rise to great heights, so they were more than willing to accept the Kartis Family name placed upon them.


    "What do you know!" Soul Ping retorted, his neck stiff and face flushed as he shouted angrily at Blaze Regret, while Soul Yin and Soul Ken also looked at Blaze Regret with a fiery anger.


    How could someone of a lower status possibly understand the tremendous benefits that the prestigious Kartis surname could bring?


    "Young man, show some respect to the Kartis Family," the elder from the Soul Family said, his voice particularly somber.


    "What a group of obedient lapdogs you are."


    Blaze Regret chuckled and shook his head, a bit helplessly, as he said, "Pass on a message for me. I will attend that so called assessment, but they should be prepared. If Kartis Van accidentally gets crippled by me, they shouldn''t blame it on me. After all, that bunch from the Kartis Family is capable of anything."


    "You!" Soul Yin and the others turned livid. If they weren''t outmatched by Blaze Regret, they would have already rushed forward in a desperate attempt. In their hearts, the Kartis Family was even more esteemed than the royal family.


    Therefore, hearing Blaze Regret insult the Kartis Family so brazenly filled them with indescribable rage.


    "Hmph!"


    As Soul Yin and the others retracted the mournful Gale Eagles into their spiritual portals, the elder from the Soul Family flicked his sleeves and prepared to leave Velorian City. Coming with high spirits and leaving disappointed aptly described their situation.


    "Little fellow, you sure know how to stir things up."


    From a distance, Mol Mark watched the scene unfold, shaking his head with a faint smile. "But I like it. The Angsana Pavillion and the Kartis Family have never been on friendly terms."


    As he observed the trembling backs of the Soul Family members, a playful smile gradually spread across Blaze Regret''s lips.


    "Visiting friends and relatives without leaving something behind before leaving is quite unreasonable, don''t you think?"


    "You can''t just leave without leaving something behind, especially when visiting friends or relatives, can you?"


    As Blaze Regret''s voice, tinged with a faint smile, echoed through the air, the footsteps of the Soul Family members halted abruptly. Their expressions became rather stiff.


    "What do you mean?"


    A cold glint flashed in his eyes as Soul Yin turned his head to look at Blaze Regret with a sinister gaze.


    He had never forgotten the grudge of the Gale Eagle being crippled. If Blaze Regret dared to push further, even if it meant defying the Kartis Family''s orders, he would have the elder beside him strike and beat Blaze Regret half to death. After all, the elder by his side, surnamed Soul, was a second tier Spirit Lord Master.


    If it weren''t for the Kartis Family''s orders, the fire Cat wouldn''t have even reached their Gale Eagle and would have been cut into two in mid air.

 Chapter 351 - 351 Robbery (Bonus)

    "I said, since you''re already here, you should leave something behind," Blaze Regret continued to smile, as if ignoring the coldness in Soul Yin''s eyes.


    Upon hearing this, the face of the Soul Elder turned extremely grim. This kid was clearly trying to take advantage of the situation.


    "What if I refuse?" Soul Yin''s eyes showed a faint mockery as he provocatively looked at Blaze Regret.


    "I''m sorry, but you don''t have a say here."


    With a helpless shrug, Blaze Regret flicked his fingers, and a wisp of pale yellow flame shot through the air like a beam of light, rushing towards Soul Yin.


    Although this flame wasn''t a spiritual technique, merely formed by powerful spiritual energy, it posed a significant threat to Soul Yin, a fourth tier Spirit Imperial Master.


    However, as he watched the roaring flame approach, Soul Yin crossed his arms and sneered disdainfully. What could a seventh tier Spirit Imperial Master do with a second tier Spirit Lord Master present? You think you can harm me? How presumptuous!


    With a cold snort, the elder surnamed Soul waved his sleeve, and azure spiritual energy gathered, forming a broad wind barrier in front of him. This barrier, with its subtle wind swirls, appeared exceptionally sturdy.


    "You''d better just watch the matters between the younger generation."


    Suddenly, a hoarse voice emerged beside the elder surnamed Soul. Following this, a withered hand gently gripped his shoulder.


    "Creak!"


    The sound of bone dislocation that could make one''s teeth ache echoed, and the elder''s expression turned to shock as the wind barrier in front of him shattered inch by inch.


    "Whoosh!"


    The pale yellow beam of spiritual energy brushed past the top of Soul Yin''s head, instantly setting his hair ablaze with a puff. The scorched yellow smoke spiraled up, making Soul Yin look particularly ridiculous at this moment.


    The scorching pain from the top of his head left Soul Yin standing there in a daze. Moments later, his throat involuntarily moved, realizing that he had been less than an inch away from death.


    If the flame had been just a bit lower, his skull would have been blown off completely.


    Thinking of this, Soul Yin''s body trembled slightly, with cold sweat dripping down his face, his inner fear reaching its peak.


    "Who are you!"


    Seeing this scene, the elder surnamed Soul turned his head in anger, only to witness a terrifying sight. A mass of eerie black fog rolled beside him, held by a skeletal white hand devoid of any flesh.


    "I am Mut Yin, the third elder of the Five Demon Hall. Years ago, I crossed paths with Soul Lin, the head of the Soul Family. He was barely worth a glance, but you are far from it."


    From within the black mist, a slightly hoarse voice slowly emerged.


    "Mut Yin?" The elder surnamed Soul was momentarily stunned, and then a deep sense of shock filled his eyes. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even in Snow Storm City, Five Demon Hall is a force ranked among the top ten. After all, their Hall lord, Mut Kui, is just a step away from becoming a Spirit King expert.


    Spirit King experts are scarce in the entire Sun Moon Empire. For instance, the head of the Kartis Family, Kartis Sham, is a seventh tier Spirit King.


    This represents the pinnacle of combat power within the empire.


    Thus, one can imagine the shock in the elder''s heart upon hearing the name Five Demon Hall.


    "That old fellow Soul Lin should be an eighth tier Spirit Lord Master by now."


    As the dense black fog dissipated, a pale face was revealed. Mut Yin glanced at the elder surnamed Soul with a hoarse voice.


    Upon hearing this, the elder''s face turned somewhat bitter. In Snow Storm City, the Soul Family is merely a medium sized force, with a noticeable gap compared to Five Demon Hall. Therefore, at this moment, he couldn''t even muster the thought of resistance.


    Observing Mut Yin''s gaunt figure, the onlookers at the Blaze Family gate felt a tingling in their scalps. This was an eighth tier Spirit Lord Master, and such a powerful figure was somehow connected to the Blaze Family.


    As for the Spirit Masters hidden in the shadows, they all withdrew their heads and sighed softly.


    The Blaze Family had indeed become untouchable.


    Seeing the shock on everyone''s faces, Blaze Regret smiled faintly.


    Although defeating Snow Fazlin might make some families wary, once he leaves Velorian City, this intimidation would gradually fade. Sooner or later, someone might be unable to resist making a move against the Blaze Family.


    After all, the resources that the Blaze Family currently holds are extremely tempting.


    To prevent such an occurrence, Blaze Regret, at the cost of three Dark Soul Pills, finally persuaded Mut Yin, this eighth tier Spirit Lord Master, to come to Velorian City to hold the fort.


    Recalling the scene of the negotiation, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel a headache coming on.


    Mut Yin was far more stubborn than Mut Kui. Even when Master Magi was brought up, Mut Yin remained unmoved, maintaining a cold demeanor that suggested he was utterly fearless.


    This proved that some people in this world can only be persuaded through incentives, not threats, and Mut Yin was precisely such a person.


    "Here you go!"


    With a clenched jaw, the elder surnamed Soul showed a deep sense of pain in his eyes as he took out the Void Realms stone from his waist and threw it in Blaze Regret''s direction.


    Catching it, Blaze Regret scanned it briefly with his spiritual sense and smiled with satisfaction. Coming from a significant place, the contents were indeed quite abundant.


    "Can we leave now?" Soul Yin asked coldly, glaring at Blaze Regret with a voice full of resentment. His disheveled hair made it hard for others not to laugh.


    "And yours?" Blaze Regret said with a smile, tightening his grip on the elder''s Void Realms stone.

 Chapter 352 - 352 Pawn

    Facing Blaze Regret''s smiling face, Soul Yin and the others suddenly felt a chill. It dawned on them that from the beginning, Blaze Regret had no intention of letting them go easily.


    Moreover, a more terrifying thought emerged in their minds: they were probably being used as pawns...


    Being the first to confront him, Blaze Regret wouldn''t let them off easily; otherwise, it would make him appear weak and easy to bully. To prevent such an impression, the only thing awaiting them was the harshest punishment.


    "I''m not going to make it too hard for you. Just leave your clothes as a memento for me, and then you can go back."


    Blaze Regret smiled lightly and then turned to the elder, his smile broadening, "As for you, you''re exempt. I do respect the elderly and cherish the young."


    Hearing this, Soul Yin and the others turned pale as sheets.


    Three white figures dashed angrily and embarrassingly down the street, with an elderly man surnamed Soul following closely behind, his face ashen. This comical scene became a favorite tale among the people of Velorian City for many years.


    With Mut Yin guarding the family, Blaze Regret felt at ease. Once everything was arranged, he took advantage of the night, seating himself on the broad back of the Ice Control Irenix, and swiftly soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of Snow Storm City.


    The distant mountains and lands were blanketed in white, akin to crane feathers. From the sky, they looked like a silver ocean of waves.


    "Whoosh!"


    The chilly wind blew against him, causing Blaze Regret''s black hair to become slightly disheveled, and his eyes to squint. Meanwhile, Red hid inside Blaze Regret''s clothes, leaving only a furry little head peeking out, eagerly observing the surroundings.


    With a flicker in his eyes, Blaze Regret suddenly drew in a deep breath and let out a loud shout. Wrapped in spiritual energy, it echoed in all directions.


    "Snow Storm City, I, Blaze Regret, have arrived!"


    Standing excitedly on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret wore a faint smile. He held great anticipation for this most prosperous city of the Sun Moon Empire, believing it might become a significant turning point in his life.


    "Goodbye, Velorian City."


    Turning his head slightly, Blaze Regret looked at the town that now appeared as a mere black dot, feeling a bit melancholic. He wondered when he would return to the small town where he had lived for so long.


    "Whoosh!"


    Red, perched on Blaze Regret''s collar, lifted its head, playfully exhaled, and a burst of white breath mixed with light snowflakes rose, causing Blaze Regret''s neck to itch a little.


    "Stop it."


    Sitting down, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but laugh as he rubbed Red''s head, then with keen interest, he took out the void realm stone belonging to the elderly man surnamed Soul. As for the spiritual imprint on it, it took almost no effort to forcibly break through.


    "A first grade pill formula, a dark attribute spirit crystal, a high level Lord Grade spirit beast puppet..."


    As his spiritual sense gradually scanned through it, Blaze Regret murmured to himself, and after a while, his eyes suddenly brightened: "This is... a wood attribute spiritual technique?"


    With a joyous exclamation, a book emitting a faint green glow appeared in Blaze Regret''s hand, emanating a subtle wave of energy.


    "Phantom Demon Grass."


    Blaze Regret''s gaze quickly skimmed over the book, and a sense of delight surged within him.


    Phantom Demon Grass, a wood attribute spiritual technique, allows one to temporarily condense a patch of pitch black demon grass using spiritual energy, disrupting an opponent''s spirit beast''s vision and thereby creating an opportunity for a swift and unexpected strike.


    With a light chuckle, the Phantom Demon Grass spiritual technique book in Blaze Regret''s hand suddenly transformed into countless tiny, dazzling light points, merging into his mind.


    Although there was another spiritual technique called Vine Bind in his Void realm stone, he had no plans to cultivate it. Given his level of spiritual energy, the Vine Bind he could perform would pale in comparison to Kong Lingluo''s vines, and it would consume significantly more spiritual energy.


    Thus, Blaze Regret always regarded this somewhat useless spiritual technique as nothing more than a discarded shoe.


    As for the utility of the Phantom Demon Grass, it clearly suited him well. Regardless of which spirit beast he teamed it with, it was likely to produce unexpected results.


    Therefore, in the following days, except for resting in caves at night, Blaze Regret spent all his time on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, practicing the Phantom Demon Grass spiritual technique.


    Compared to the agonizing process of training for the Collapsing Rock Palm, the Phantom Demon Grass technique was undoubtedly much gentler, yet its difficulty far surpassed the former. Even after three days, Blaze Regret could only manage to condense a patch of pitch black demon grass about a meter in size.


    "Fortunately, I had time to practice the new spiritual technique while on the road; otherwise, I wouldn''t have had a chance."


    Seated on the back of the Ice Control Irenix, Blaze Regret bit into an orange red spiritual fruit, gazing helplessly into the distance. After a moment, a faint, delighted smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.


    In the distance, a grand and imposing city gate stood majestically. A dense crowd of people moved like ants through it, and even from afar, the bustling noise could be faintly heard.


    Snow Storm City had finally arrived!


    With a whoosh, like a stream of pale blue light, the Ice Control Irenix descended rapidly. Its wings folded slightly as Blaze Regret and Red slid off its back, landing steadily on the ground.


    Several figures walked past Blaze Regret, casting curious glances at him before continuing on their way.


    Every day, countless spirit master come and go in Snow Storm City, yet no matter how powerful, none dare to fly over its skies. Such an act is considered a provocation to the royal family, and those reckless enough to attempt it would face relentless attacks from the city''s guards.

 Chapter 353 - 353 Snow Storm City

    "So powerful."


    With his dark eyes scanning the surroundings, Blaze Regret felt a slight tremor in his heart. Most of the people passing by him possessed the strength of spirit Imperial Master, with only a few still at the spirit warrior master stage.


    In Velorian City, spirit imperial master were rare, but here, they seemed to be everywhere. He hadn''t walked far before encountering a fourth rank spiritual Imperial master.


    As for the spirit king powerhouses, he had yet to see any on his journey. Such individuals typically do not make casual appearances in Snow Storm City or its surrounding areas.


    "Come to think of it, apart from the few from the Jue Emperor Sect, I''ve never encountered a spirit king powerhouse from the empire."


    Looking up at the city gate, where the words "Snow Storm City" were boldly inscribed, Blaze Regret displayed a faint smile. He hoped that life in this prosperous ancient city would not be so monotonous.


    "Stop right there!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to step through the city gate, a soldier suddenly blocked his path with a spear, looking at him with an indifferent expression.


    "What is it?" Blaze Regret wondered to himself. Could this be someone from the Kartis family? Had his appearance already spread throughout Snow Storm City?


    "First time entrants must undergo inspection."


    The soldier, still expressionless, walked over and opened his palm. Sitting there was a beetle as black as ink. The beetle stared into Blaze Regret''s dark eyes, and its thin wings behind it suddenly spread open, revealing a clear round mirror between them.


    "What is this?" Blaze Regret asked curiously, eyeing the beetle.


    "A Golden Spirit Beetle. It can detect unfamiliar auras."


    The soldier''s tone remained indifferent. "From now on, your appearance will be recorded by it. If you cause trouble in the city, you''ll be marked as unwelcome. Do it often enough, and you''ll be banned for life."


    Upon hearing the soldier''s explanation, Blaze Regret felt a bit embarrassed. He realized he had been overly sensitive. True, the Kartis family had significant influence, but even they couldn''t control everything in Snow Storm City, and perhaps no one even knew of his arrival yet.


    "Sigh, I''m really overestimating myself."


    With a wry smile, Blaze Regret stepped into Snow Storm City. Under the sunlight amidst the falling snow, he glanced around at the bustling crowd and smiled slightly.


    From now on, let me experience the wonders of this prosperous ancient city.


    On the wide streets, numerous spirit masters and various spirit beasts busily moved back and forth, their hawking voices rising and falling. The streets were lined with diverse shops, presenting an extremely lively scene.


    "Whoo!"


    Perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red''s gem like blazing eyes flickered with excitement. Everything here was filled with a fresh and vibrant allure for it.


    For the next half day, Blaze Regret completely relaxed, wandering around with Red. Clearly, this place was far more interesting than the small town of Velorian City.


    "Ding!"


    Hovering dazedly in front of Blaze Regret, the Ice Control Irenix flapped its wings, absorbing a pile of spiritual items, including the Ice Soul Stone, into its body.


    Seeing this scene, Blaze Regret''s mouth twitched slightly. These ice attribute spiritual items were the result of his half day tour of the surrounding shops, costing him a hefty sum of seven to eight hundred thousand gold coins. In the blink of an eye, they were all consumed.


    "Ordinary spirit masters really can''t afford to raise an Ice Control Irenix."


    Shaking his head with a smile, Blaze Regret opened his palm and stored the Ice Control Irenix into the spiritual portal. After refining so many ice attribute spiritual items, the Ice Control Irenix''s strength should rise another level.


    Of course, this scene took place in a secluded alley. If others discovered that Blaze Regret possessed two spirit beasts with different attributes, it would likely cause a great sensation.


    After all, in the entire Snow storm City, the only dual source spirit master was the royal monarch, Meng Tianchen.


    His legend was a long standing topic among many spirit masters in this ancient city, discussed over tea and meals.


    "Well, the gold card is empty again." S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Holding the empty gold card, Blaze Regret cursed himself internally several times. In his eagerness to purchase ice attribute spiritual items, he hadn''t even saved a single gold coin for lodging. At this rate, he''d have to make do with sleeping on the streets tonight.


    Rubbing a few Void realms stones, Blaze Regret felt a slight sense of relief. Fortunately, he had accumulated quite a bit over the years. Combined with the items from the elder surnamed Soul''s void realms stone, he should be able to exchange them for a considerable amount of wealth.


    However, what frustrated him was the ridiculously low prices offered by the shops here. A pill that could fetch twenty thousand gold coins at Bloodstone Pass couldn''t even sell for ten thousand here.


    It was clear that the shopkeepers here loved to bargain hard, which explained why so many spirit masters preferred setting up stalls outside.


    "Despicable merchants!"


    Storming out of a shop, Blaze Regret wore a look of anger. This particular shop was even more outrageous, offering only eighty thousand gold coins for a tier one pill recipe worth three hundred thousand gold coins.


    If this were Bloodstone Pass, such a business would likely close down the next day.


    "Whoo!"


    Perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder, Red smacked its lips, swinging its cute little tail, and sweetly fell asleep. To it, sleep could come easily, no matter where they were.


    Glancing at the crowded street stalls in the distance, Blaze Regret let out a sigh. Relying on himself seemed more reliable; otherwise, dealing with these unscrupulous merchants would leave him with nothing but scraps.


    Finding an empty spot, Blaze Regret was just about to sit down when a scrawny man, thin as a monkey, suddenly opened his eyes. His night owl like gaze fixed intently on Blaze Regret.

 Chapter 354 - 354 Law Of Jungle

    "Dare to set up a stall here? Did you ask me first?"


    The man spoke calmly, and immediately, the eyes of the surrounding vendors shifted towards them. Seeing that Blaze Regret appeared to be nothing more than a naive young man, they couldn''t help but feel a tinge of sympathy.


    This boy probably didn''t know the fearsome reputation of Lin Dan. The last person who dared to sit beside him could no longer do so.


    That''s because Lin Dan had brutally broken his legs in the most merciless way.


    "Eh?"


    At this moment, a young girl in a red dress passing by turned her curious gaze towards them. Her lively, watery eyes held a peculiar sparkle as she stared at the Red perched on Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Her pure face, while not exceptionally beautiful, had a comforting quality that put anyone who saw her at ease.


    Of course, what drew the most attention were her slender, jade like legs, which captured the gaze of many men, making it difficult for them to look away.


    Blaze Regret, however, didn''t notice the girl behind him, as his night black eyes were still fixed on Lin Dan''s shadowy face.


    "So, may I use this spot?"


    After pondering for a moment, Blaze Regret sheepishly scratched his head and asked with a dry laugh.


    Hearing this, the passersby and the vendors nearby were all dizzy with disbelief. Was this young man trying to provoke Lin Dan? Given the latter''s notorious behavior, Blaze Regret might never see the light of day again.


    "Are you talking to me?" Lin Dan was evidently taken aback for a moment, and then his expression quickly darkened.


    "Yes," replied Blaze Regret, still maintaining a shy demeanor.


    Looking at Blaze Regret''s somewhat youthful face, the surrounding vendors sighed inwardly. Where did this naive youngster come from, unaware of the most formidable person on this street?


    The young girl in red blinked her lively eyes, a playful expression appearing on her charming face. Although she was somewhat famous in Snow storm City and quite prominent among the younger generation, she sensed a faint hint of danger emanating from this young man.


    It was a sensation she had only felt from a few individuals.


    "Heh, if you want to set up a stall here, that''s certainly possible."


    Standing up, Lin Dan fixed his cold, icy gaze on Blaze Regret. A sinister and grim smile slowly emerged at the corner of his mouth: "As long as you can survive my fists."


    Five fingers clenched abruptly, and a trace of cold air swirled around the iron fist. Lin Dan''s gaze was icy as he launched a punch, its ferocious power tearing through the air in front of him.


    In an instant, the breath of everyone around them stopped.


    In the next moment, the young boy''s delicate face would likely be obliterated.


    As the massive, frost laden fist came crashing, Blaze Regret bowed his head slightly, sighing gently. Then, slowly, he raised his hand.


    "Boom!"


    At the moment of contact, a fierce and unparalleled force surged, sweeping away the items on the stall beneath Lin Dan and sending them flying into the distance. The faces of the surrounding vendors were filled with shock.


    The young boy had actually withstood Lin Dan''s punch?


    "I didn''t expect the law of the jungle, where the weak are prey to the strong, to still exist in Snow storm City. It is something I cannot change."


    Raising his head slowly, Blaze Regret''s cold eyes locked onto Lin Dan''s astonished face. "But I''ve already shown restraint. Why must you force me?"


    "Crack!"


    With a slight exertion of force from Blaze Regret''s hand, Lin Dan''s fist, which contained immense power, began to slowly deflate like cotton under the terrified gazes of the onlookers.


    "Ah!"


    A piercing scream shattered the air.


    Lin Dan''s heart wrenching scream echoed in the air, stunning the expressions of all the vendors around. When they looked at Blaze Regret''s emotionless face, their hearts trembled. Lin Dan, who was a seventh tier spirit Imperial master, had no room for resistance in front of him. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    More terrifying was the ruthlessness of this young man, which was no less than that of Lin Dan. Even the bystanders couldn''t help but shudder when they saw Lin Dan''s twisted fist.


    "Boom!"


    With a lift of his foot, Blaze Regret delivered a side kick. A muffled sound was heard as Lin Dan''s body was propelled backward by the fierce force, slamming hard against the wall.


    "Spurt!"


    Blood sprayed from his mouth as Lin Dan looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief. Intense fear, like rampant weeds, rapidly grew and tangled in his heart.


    "What tremendous strength."


    The girl in red, with beautiful eyes, gazed at the silver aura emanating from Blaze Regret''s fist. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She then turned her gaze to Lin Dan''s dislocated fist, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.


    Although she could also defeat Lin Dan, doing so as effortlessly as Blaze Regret did would be quite challenging.


    With a calm expression, Blaze Regret shook his wrist slightly, his eyes lowered. Then, with a swift kick, Lin Dan''s belongings, wrapped in a piece of black cloth, fell in front of the latter.


    Lin Dan''s lips moved slightly, but his face ultimately turned gloomy. He leaned against the wall in silence, dejected.


    After years of running rampant on this street, today he had finally hit a hard wall.


    Ignoring the dejected Lin Dan behind him, Blaze Regret laid out a clean white cloth at the best spot on the street and sat down cross legged as if no one else were there. The nearby vendors quickly shifted away, afraid that Blaze Regret might suddenly lash out at them.


    Regarding the reactions of those around him, Blaze Regret''s face displayed an indifferent demeanor, yet inside, he felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. His principle had always been not to provoke others unless provoked, but once he did explode, the resulting deterrent was exceptionally powerful.

 Chapter 355 - 355 Strange Fruit

    "A seventh tier spirit Imperial master, quite impressive. I wonder which family this prodigy belongs to. At such a young age, to possess such strength, he can already be compared to the likes of Zon Gengshi and Fin Shan," mused the girl in red, her delicate fingers resting on her lips as she watched Blaze Regret with a flicker of interest in her eyes.


    If others heard this, it would undoubtedly cause a stir. Zon Gengshi and Fin Shan were prominent figures in Snow Storm City, and as long as they didn''t fall, they were certain to have a place on the future list of spirit king experts in the Sun Moon Empire. Yet this young man could be compared to them?


    After a brief contemplation, Blaze Regret took out all the void realms stones from his waist and placed everything on his stall, except for a few items he was reluctant to trade. These items no longer held any value for him in his current state.


    As each item was displayed, the eyes of the surrounding vendors widened, their expressions turning increasingly astonished.


    "First grade pill formula, third grade spiritual medicine, and so many spiritual items... My gosh, where on earth did this lad come from?"


    Astonished gazes congregated on Blaze Regret''s stall, the peculiar and rare items leaving many in a state of disbelief.


    Upon inspecting their own stalls, the vendors flushed with embarrassment; compared to Blaze Regret''s offerings, their goods seemed like trash.


    "This pill, forty thousand gold coins."


    With the first item successfully traded, Blaze Regret found subsequent transactions much easier. For many, the items on his stall were valuable treasures, so within just half an hour, over half of his items had been successfully traded.


    As Blaze Regret reached out to retrieve a scattered spiritual fruit back to the center of his stall, a faint, delicate fragrance wafted over. His gaze lifted slightly, and a pair of long, shapely legs came into view. The perfect curves momentarily caught even his composed temperament off guard.


    "May I help you with something?" he inquired.


    Blaze Regret lifted his face, a gentle smile playing at the corners of his mouth.


    Before him stood a young woman dressed in an exquisite red outfit. Her slender figure was such that it might easily provoke certain imaginations. Most striking of all, however, was the intricate red lotus mark at the center of her forehead. This vivid red lotus accentuated her fair and innocent face, subtly imbuing it with an enchanting allure.


    It was Blaze Regret''s first time encountering a woman who could seamlessly blend two contrasting qualities, which momentarily left him slightly dazed. As for the surrounding passersby and vendors, their gazes were already fixed on the young woman''s stunning face.


    The young woman was slightly surprised to see Blaze Regret regain his composure so quickly. Some of the empire''s elites would love nothing more than to gaze at her indefinitely, yet this man seemed entirely unmoved.


    "I''m quite interested in this piece of black clay," the young woman remarked.


    Her delicate finger pointed lightly at the black flame clay beside Blaze Regret''s hand. A faint, almost imperceptible heat emanated from it, causing the surrounding air to appear somewhat distorted.


    "Five thousand gold coins," Blaze Regret replied, slightly raising his brow as he named a price that wasn''t particularly high. If he were to refine the black flame clay himself, it would require materials costing around a thousand gold coins. Selling it, however, could instantly increase its value several times over, which is why alchemists were often considered to have one of the most lucrative professions on the continent.


    "I want its refining method," the girl in red said, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Blaze Regret with an expectant expression. Her seemingly pitiable demeanor was something few men could resist, especially a young man like Blaze Regret, full of youthful vigor.


    "No sale," Blaze Regret responded without a moment''s hesitation, his answer crisp and definitive.


    Hearing this unyielding refusal, the young woman was taken aback, momentarily losing her composure. She had, quite unexpectedly, been turned down.


    As Blaze Regret''s straightforward response echoed, the faces of the surrounding crowd twitched slightly. Were it not for Lin Dan''s recent example, they might have immediately gathered around to give Blaze Regret a beating.


    Ignoring the sentiments of such a beauty, he certainly lacked appreciation for it!


    Facing the young woman before him, who was pouting and looking aggrieved, Blaze Regret only shrugged innocently. The formula for the black flame clay was too precious. Used correctly, it could yield a substantial return. After all, such a formula capable of aiding the growth of fire elemental spiritual beasts had yet to appear anywhere else in the Sun Moon Empire.


    Lightly biting her lip, the girl stared intently at Blaze Regret, who met her gaze without fear. After a moment, she finally sighed softly, admitting defeat. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I really wonder if you''re even a man," she muttered in a huff. Her hand brushed over a void realm stone, revealing a fruit shaped like a fire Cat in her soft palm. "Otherwise, how about I trade this with you?"


    As his gaze swept over it, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes suddenly lit up with interest.


    A strangely shaped red fruit lay quietly in the delicate palm of the young girl, emanating a fiery aura that caused the sleeping Red to suddenly open its eyes wide.


    "This fruit was originally just an ordinary Blazing Flame Fruit. However, a few days ago, a Three Tailed Red Cat perished beneath its tree, and all its essence was absorbed by the spirit tree. This caused the Blazing Flame Fruit to mutate. I believe that once your fire Cat refines it, the effect will far surpass that of other fire type spiritual beasts."


    The girl in red looked at the fruit in her palm with a hint of reluctance.


    For her, this mutated Blazing Flame Fruit, although beneficial, seemed less important compared to the recipe for Black Flame Mud. After all, there was only one fruit, whereas Black Flame Mud could be endlessly refined.

 Chapter 356 - 356 Soul An

    Gazing at the Cat shaped fruit, Red couldn''t help but wipe its mouth, then looked eagerly at Blaze Regret, whose expression was one of amusement.


    "I can give you the recipe, but you must promise me that under no circumstances will you reveal its origin to anyone." Blaze Regret lifted his head, staring directly into the girl''s water like eyes.


    "You are indeed cautious." The girl in red smiled slightly, her soft, boneless hand extending towards Blaze Regret.


    "Pleasure doing business."


    Blaze Regret also smiled as he handed over the recipe for Black Flame Mud. The girl in red quickly and happily grabbed it, her extraordinarily soft hand inevitably brushing against Blaze Regret''s palm.


    Feeling the gentle touch, Blaze Regret felt a slight itch in his heart and couldn''t help but think that when this girl grows up, she will certainly become a captivating figure.


    "By the way, you''re a Seventh Rank Spirit Imperial Master, aren''t you?"


    Carefully placing the recipe into the Void Realm Stone, the girl in red suddenly leaned forward, her pure yet enchanting face just an inch away from Blaze Regret''s nose.


    Seeing this, all the surrounding male spirit masters were gnashing their teeth, wishing they could kick Blaze Regret aside and enjoy such treatment themselves.


    Only Lin Dan, who was leaning against the wall, lowered his head with a complex expression. Others might not know the girl''s background, but he was well aware that even some powerful spiritual masters were usually not regarded by her.


    "That''s right."


    Smelling the subtle fragrance before him, Blaze Regret awkwardly leaned back, his earlobes uncontrollably beginning to flush red. Although he had encountered many beautiful women over the years, this was the first time he felt utterly at a loss.


    "Are you interested in joining me in the future? In Snow Storm City, I can offer quite a bit of protection," the young girl said, blinking her bright eyes. It seemed that any normal man would find it hard to refuse her offer.


    However, to her surprise, Blaze Regret shook his head without hesitation.


    "Sorry, I don''t have any plans to join any faction at the moment," Blaze Regret replied with a dry laugh.


    "Fine, I won''t force you," the girl said with a practiced air of maturity, despite being about the same age as Blaze Regret. She generously waved her hand. "If you ever run into trouble, you can come to the Angsana Pavillion for help, just say you''re looking for Alif Dee, and I''ll show up."


    With that, the girl in red turned away without hesitation, walking off with a flair. Yet, only she knew how frustrated she truly felt; being rejected twice in one day was a significant blow to her usually proud heart.


    If this were to become known to the city''s elite, Blaze Regret''s life might become quite difficult.


    "Beauty is trouble," Blaze Regret muttered softly, not taking the girl''s words to heart. If he ever did seek help from the Angsana Pavillion, he knew the favor would be a complicated one to repay.


    He never believed in free lunches. For talents like himself, powerful factions naturally wanted to recruit them, much like the Kartis Family''s assessment, which was conducted with such intentions.


    "Wait, Angsana Pavillion, Alif Dee?" Suddenly realizing something, Blaze Regret''s eyes widened in shock as he looked at the distant, graceful red figure. So all along, this young girl was from the Angsana Pavillion?


    And even more importantly, her surname was Alif?


    Coming back to his senses, Blaze Regret felt a bit helpless. Had he known earlier, he might have simply given the recipe for Black Flame Mud to her as a goodwill gesture. In Velorian City, he had often benefited from the Angsana Pavillion and Alif Azfar.


    However, about a year ago, Alif Azfar seemed to have left Velorian City, and he wasn''t sure where the Angsana Pavillion had reassigned her.


    Nonetheless, this did not diminish Blaze Regret''s gratitude towards her.


    "Thinking about it, there''s only a month left until the Kartis Family''s assessment," Blaze Regret mused, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.


    The Kartis Family''s assessment was reputedly held within the Kartis Family''s ancient grounds, a completely independent space filled with a primordial aura, and it could only be accessed once every three years. Moreover, the entry point was entirely random each time, which meant that anyone who entered had a fair chance of encountering great opportunities. Such a potential leap in fortune was highly enticing to all the young people of Snow Storm City, except for those already belonging to major powers or influential families.


    More importantly, those who performed exceptionally well in the ancient grounds might even be accepted into the Kartis Family, gaining access to abundant cultivation resources.


    These prospects were enough to make many young people, driven by ambition, rush headlong into the opportunity.


    "The chance for revenge is almost here," Blaze Regret murmured with a faint smile, gently stroking the fur of Red, which was clutching the strangely shaped scarlet fruit in its paws. A cold gleam flashed in its eyes as it nodded heavily.


    From the moment it was born, Red witnessed Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf injuring Blaze Regret, so for it, Kartis Van and his dazzling, thunderous wolf were unforgivable enemies.


    "Soul An is coming, quickly pack up!" Suddenly, as Blaze Regret was lost in thought, the surrounding vendors began to panic. With anxious expressions, they hurriedly packed their more valuable items into Void Realm Stones.


    Leaning against the wall with an expressionless face, Lin Dan looked at Blaze Regret''s back and slowly said, "You''d better pack up your stall immediately, or you''re going to have trouble."


    Hearing Lin Dan''s voice, Blaze Regret was initially taken aback, then his brow furrowed slightly. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Trouble?


    "It''s too late," Lin Dan remarked as he saw Blaze Regret remain unmoved. He gently shook his head, then looked down with an indifferent expression at the ground beneath him, where several small cracks were visible.

 Chapter 357 - 357 Soul An 2

    The next moment, a young man with a frivolous demeanor strolled out from the alleyway, a satisfied look on his face as his gaze swept over the vendors'' stalls.


    "This fruit looks good, I''ll take it." The young man named Soul An smiled as he bent down to pick up a fist sized fruit from a stall, with faint electric sparks flickering on it. It was a Thunder Source Fruit, a third grade spiritual herb that could make the spiritual power within thunder type spirit beasts more pure and violent.


    Seeing Soul An take the Thunder Source Fruit without hesitation, the vendor forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart. His actions were ultimately a step too slow.


    "Wait a minute!"


    Suddenly, Soul An''s eyes, filled with a sinister smile, shifted to another vendor. Instantly, the latter''s face turned exceptionally panicked, and a purple red pill rolled to the ground.


    "Purple Soul Pill?" Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Slowly bending down, Soul An stared at the pill for a while, a look of realization appearing on his face. Then, maintaining his bent posture, he cast a malicious glance at the vendor. "Why are you so scared? Do you think I''m going to eat you?"


    The vendor''s heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale. Having lived here for so long, he was well aware of how terrifying Soul An truly was.


    If Blaze Regret''s disabling of Lin Dan could be described as ruthless, then Soul An could only be considered utterly inhumane.


    After all, Blaze Regret was forced to defend himself, whereas Soul An acted on his whims, doing things without reason. One moment, he might be chatting happily with someone, and the next, he could be pressing that person''s head to the ground with his palm.


    Thus, in these streets, Soul An''s perverse behavior was almost universally known.


    "A member of the Soul family." Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed. It turned out that the Soul family was near the entrance of Snow Storm City, which explained why they replaced the Kartis family to go to Ancient Sun City.


    "The Purple Soul Pill, now that''s a good thing."


    Talking to himself, Soul An reached out to pick up the pill, carefully wiped it off, and then stood up with a smile, handing the Purple Soul Pill back to the vendor with a gentle tone: "Put it away."


    The vendor was momentarily stunned by these words, reflexively taking the Purple Soul Pill. His actions were now completely out of his brain''s control, as the intense fear had already disturbed his thinking.


    When he felt the smooth touch of the Purple Soul Pill, he was shocked and widened his eyes. Since when was Soul An so easy to deal with? He originally thought that not only would the pill be snatched away, but he would also suffer a severe beating.


    Witnessing this scene, the surrounding vendors couldn''t help but swallow nervously, moistening their somewhat dry throats. The development seemed to be quite unexpected.


    The vendor gave Soul An a grateful glance and hurriedly attempted to store the Purple Soul Pill in his spatial stone.


    Blaze Regret frowned slightly, feeling uneasy about the vendor''s behavior. It was merely reclaiming his own item, yet he displayed such a tearfully grateful expression.


    "Wait."


    Just as the Purple Soul Pill in the vendor''s hand was about to touch the Void Realms stone, Soul An''s calm voice suddenly rang out again: "When I said to put it away, I didn''t mean into the void realms stone."


    Upon hearing this, the vendor''s hand froze in place, not daring to move, with a slightly bewildered look on his face.


    "This Purple Soul Pill is a rare item. To prevent waste, you should consume it. That way, it won''t accidentally fall to the ground again," Soul An said with a smile.


    As these words were spoken, everyone''s expressions changed dramatically. For spirit beasts, the Purple Soul Pill was indeed a great tonic, but if a spirit master were to swallow it, the violent spiritual power contained within could cause unbearable pain.


    "What? You don''t want to give me face?" Soul An''s smile gradually faded, and a hint of coldness crept into his voice.


    Beads of cold sweat appeared on the vendor''s forehead. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the Purple Soul Pill in one gulp. Instantly, his face turned extremely red, his eyes filled with blood, and scarlet veins spread, making him appear particularly ferocious.


    "Ah!"


    Finally unable to endure any longer, the vendor collapsed to the ground in pain, letting out a heart wrenching scream that sent a shiver down the spines of those who heard it.


    "Heh heh."


    Observing the scene, Soul An''s lips curled into a grin, and his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were thoroughly enjoying the sound.


    Sitting cross legged on the ground, Blaze Regret''s gaze was icy. Over the years, he had encountered many with twisted minds, but someone as brazen as Soul An was a first.


    He was merely a ninth rank spirit warrior Master. Among those present, many were stronger than him. If it weren''t for the Soul family backing him, he might not even know how he would meet his end.


    Moreover, even within a third rate family like the Soul family, someone like him would only be at the bottom. It''s baffling where he found the confidence to act so recklessly.


    "Such a racket," Soul An muttered.


    Seemingly tired of the noise, he slowly opened his eyes, looking straight ahead. His foot, however, stomped down hard, with enough force to knock the vendor unconscious.


    A chill spread through Blaze Regret''s eyes. Although he greatly disliked this scene, he had no intention of intervening. After all, he wasn''t some savior. Such incidents occurred daily in various places, and he couldn''t possibly address them all.


    Furthermore, even if he were to teach Soul An a lesson, what would change? He could walk away unscathed, but the Soul family wouldn''t let it go.

 Chapter 358 - 358 Soul An 3

    If they couldn''t find him, they would likely redirect their wrath onto the vendor, resulting in a fate much worse than now.


    Soul An''s gaze, filled with a smug smile, swept over the crowd. Seeing the vendors lowering their heads, he felt immensely satisfied. In the Soul family, due to his lack of strength, he held no position, so flaunting his authority outside was a source of happiness for him.


    "Ah, a new face," Soul An remarked.


    When his eyes fell on Blaze Regret, a mocking smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Teaching newcomers always brought him a unique sense of enjoyment.


    His gaze continued to roam, and he was suddenly filled with endless delight and greed. The items on Blaze Regret''s stall were exceptionally valuable.


    With a broad smile, Soul An approached Blaze Regret, who was sitting with his eyes half closed. Rubbing his chin, he feigned seriousness and said, "Little brother, this street is Soul family territory. To maintain order here, it would be best if I took care of your items."


    Hearing this, several eyes around them looked at Blaze Regret with a hint of sympathy, as if to say he was about to suffer a heavy loss.


    However, under Soul An''s cheerful gaze, Blaze Regret remained with his eyes partially closed. After a moment, he uttered a single word, devoid of any emotion.


    "Scram!"


    When Blaze Regret''s calm voice spread through the street, everyone''s expressions turned incredulously rigid. In Soul An''s eyes, there was a sinister chill slowly emerging, like a sharp sword aiming to pierce through Blaze Regret.


    Soul An had dominated this street for years, and it was the first time someone dared to disrespect him like this, because he represented the face of the Soul Family. Insulting him was akin to insulting the entire Soul Family.


    "You lowly commoner, do you know what you''re saying?"


    Soul An''s face twisted with rage, and he suddenly reached out. A bluish wind wrapped around his fingertips, emanating a sharp aura that slowly spread out.


    "Die!"


    With a shout filled with anger, Soul An''s right hand clawed towards Blaze Regret''s eyes like an eagle''s talon, seemingly intent on gouging them out directly.


    Seeing Soul An''s cruel attack, many people''s eyes twitched. How deep must the hatred be to warrant such a vicious strike?


    "You Soul Family members are indeed quite domineering."


    With a flash of coldness in his eyes, Blaze Regret suddenly stood up. His steady and powerful hand clasped Soul An''s wrist firmly in his palm.


    "Let go!"


    Struggling hard but to no avail, Soul An''s face grew even darker. Just a lowly person with no background dared to lay hands on him; when he returned, he would certainly report to the clan elders to have this boy skinned.


    "Let go?"


    With a slight smirk, Blaze Regret looked coldly at Soul An. The chill in his eyes caused the latter''s face to tremble uncontrollably. This kind of gaze seemed to belong only to those ruthless enough to have countless lives in their hands.


    "That''s right, let me go now, and I can overlook your offense. Furthermore, all your belongings must be mine. On the Soul Family''s turf, everything belongs to us. If I want to confiscate it, you must hand it all over." Soul An mustered his courage, staring straight into Blaze Regret''s eyes, his voice firm.

    From beginning to end, he never truly believed Blaze Regret dared to act.


    After all, an eighth tier spirit Lord master resided in the Soul Family, and to kill these itinerant cultivators would require nothing more than a casual command.


    "The Soul Family''s territory?"


    Blaze Regret sneered. Not to mention the Soul Family, even the powerful royal family wouldn''t dare to claim that the city of Snow Storm was their domain. At the root of it, they could only be considered the guardians of this ancient city.


    Though they were undoubtedly the strongest among them.


    "It seems that the stability over the years has given the Soul Family immense confidence."


    With a sudden sharpness in his eyes, Blaze Regret''s hand abruptly flung downwards, slamming Soul An''s face hard into the ground. The loud sound that followed caused the expressions of those around to change dramatically.


    "Bang!"


    Blaze Regret lifted his foot and mercilessly stomped on Soul An''s face, looking down at him with indifference. His demeanor mirrored the way Soul An had previously tormented that vendor.


    "You want to die!" Soul An shouted, his face nearly splitting with humiliation and rage.


    "Get lost!"


    With a powerful kick, a muffled sound echoed as Soul An''s body was sent skidding along the rough, uneven rocky ground, only coming to a slow stop after sliding several dozen meters.


    Watching the dust covered Soul An, everyone silently swallowed, their eyes filled with shock. Though Soul An was somewhat useless, he was still a member of the Soul Family. This young man might have enjoyed his moment of defiance, but he was about to face significant trouble.


    "Ugh!"


    Soul An lay on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth like a beaten dog, his eyes staring blankly at the sky as the blood trickled slowly from the corners of his mouth.


    After a moment, Soul An finally regained a sliver of strength and shakily stood up.


    "My Spirit Portal!"


    Feeling the shattered Spirit Portal within him, Soul An''s face twisted with rage as he looked at Blaze Regret, his furious roar echoing like thunder.


    Blaze Regret calmly brushed the dust from his fists, his hands behind his back, and watched Soul An with eyes as still as water. The fact that Soul An was still alive was a result of Blaze Regret deliberately holding back.


    After all, in Snow Storm City, there was still order. One could engage in combat, but killing openly was forbidden, as the city guards on the walls were constantly watching.


    "I didn''t expect this kid to actually dare make a move."

 Chapter 359 - 359 Soul An 4

    Atop the city wall, a seemingly cheerful middle aged man gazed down with interest. His eyes lingered on Blaze Regret for a long time before slowly shifting away.


    This man, named Lai Hon, was the overseer of this section of the wall and possessed the formidable strength of a ninth tier spirit Lord master.


    Although there was still a gap between him and Mut Kui, who had been at the ninth-tier spiritual master level for years, Lai Hon was considered the strongest in this area. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be entrusted with guarding such a crucial position in Snow Storm City.


    "Indeed."


    Standing beside Lai Hon was a young man dressed in simple attire. He stared intently at Blaze Regret, and after a long moment, he exhaled softly. "No wonder he seemed familiar; he''s that man''s son."


    "Zon Gengshi, the Flame Emperor is your idol, isn''t he? Seeing his descendant, don''t you have anything to say?" Lai Hon turned to tease the young man beside him.


    "His fists might match mine, but his overall strength is too weak. A seventh tier spirit Imperial master can barely compete with the likes of Kartis Van. He and that person are on completely different levels."


    At this point, a fervent passion appeared in Zon Gengshi''s eyes. The Flame Emperor, who traversed the empire, was his lifelong aspiration. He didn''t even dare to refer to him by name, always referring to him as "that person."


    In his heart, no one was worthy of uttering that man''s name or title.


    Even Lai Hon, a ninth tier spirit Lord master beside him, was no exception.


    "Don''t forget, his age and cultivation resources are nowhere near what the Flame Emperor had back then," Lai Hon remarked with a sigh.


    "That''s no excuse. The cultivation resources were something that person fought for himself. He started as nothing more than a servant of the Kartis family, yet he rose powerfully, even suppressing the strongest in the entire Sun Moon Empire and forcing them back for miles," Zon Gengshi took a deep breath, calming his excited emotions. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    In Snow Storm City, countless people regarded that man as a legend, and Zon Gengshi was among the most fervent admirers.


    "By the way, you''re about to break through to the fifth tier spirit Lord master, aren''t you?" Lai Hon said with a smile.


    To achieve such accomplishments at his age, Zon Gengshi was indeed one of the most dazzling talents in Snow Storm City. Even some family elders were far less formidable than he was.


    "In seven days."


    Zon Gengshi replied, then lowered his gaze, looking intently at Blaze Regret and murmured softly, "You better not disappoint me. In the Kartis family assessment, if you dare lose to Kartis Van, I will personally deal with you."


    Soul An''s roar, filled with intense killing intent, echoed continuously. The once bustling street fell silent instantly, and everyone''s eyelids couldn''t help but twitch, yet no one dared to break the heavy atmosphere with a word.


    "You have a quarter of an hour left. After that, if you wish to seek revenge, you won''t have the chance." Blaze Regret glanced indifferently at Soul An, whose face was twisted with anger, then turned around to tidy up the chaotic items on his stall.


    His chest heaving slightly with anger, Soul An glared fiercely at Blaze Regret''s back, then turned away with a sinister expression, disappearing at the end of the street.


    Witnessing this scene, many people exchanged glances, and then their incredulous gazes gathered on the unperturbed Blaze Regret. They were not fools and began to speculate about Blaze Regret''s background.


    Could he be a prodigy hidden by some powerful faction? Otherwise, how could he dare to treat a member of the Soul Family so unceremoniously?


    After placing the last spiritual fruit into the void realms stone, Blaze Regret stood up calmly. Had they been outside the Snow Storm City, he would never have given Soul An the chance to live, let alone allow him to return and call for reinforcements.


    But here, the most important rule was to not kill under the sun, to prevent causing panic.


    As for why the rule emphasized not killing under the sun, that was another matter worth pondering.


    "Aren''t you afraid that the Soul Family will hold a grudge against you?" Lin Dan shrugged his shoulders to make himself more comfortable, then looked at Blaze Regret with a frown.


    "It doesn''t matter if they hold a grudge against me. What matters is that I''ve already held a grudge against them," Blaze Regret said with a hint of coldness in his voice.


    More than a decade ago, during that large scale siege, the head of the Soul Family, Soul Lin, was among the most aggressive. He took the opportunity to strike a vicious blow when Blaze Ash was heavily injured and fell. Otherwise, how could the Kartis family have favored the Soul Family so much over the years?


    "You are formidable."


    Lin Dan, staring at Blaze Regret''s face, which still had a hint of youthfulness, remained silent for a long time before finally squeezing out a few words. He considered himself ruthless, but compared to Blaze Regret, he was far behind.


    "Oh, this Hundred Healing Pill can treat your right hand. After taking and refining it, your hand will heal within three days." Blaze Regret, as if talking to himself, waved his hand, sending a gust of wind towards Lin Dan.


    "Snap!"


    Clutching the Hundred Healing Pill tightly in his intact left hand, Lin Dan found his gaze fixated on it. The Hundred Healing Pill, a third grade elixir, was renowned for its potent healing properties. Each pill cost a minimum of fifty thousand gold coins, and even then, it was often unavailable on the market. Only spirit masters with connections to third grade alchemists had a chance of obtaining one.


    Yet Blaze Regret had handed it over so casually?


    Though Lin Dan''s transactions in this place could amount to a hundred thousand gold coins daily,

 Chapter 360 - 360 Sound Attribute

    His actual profit was only around two thousand gold coins, with the constant risk of unexpected incidents. To him, a third grade elixir was incredibly precious.


    "Thank you," Lin Dan said, looking up with a complex expression at Blaze Regret.


    "There''s no need to thank me. You wanted my life, and I crippled your hand; that''s only fair. You warned me earlier, and I gave you the pill; now we''re even," Blaze Regret replied, shaking his head as he turned to walk away.


    After today''s transactions, Blaze Regret wouldn''t have to worry about gold coins for quite some time.


    "You''re leaving?" Lin Dan asked, slightly surprised. Wasn''t he supposed to wait for a quarter of an hour? Leaving now seemed like a subtle admission of defeat or an escape.


    "I never said I would wait here for them," Blaze Regret replied with a faint smile, glancing back at Lin Dan.


    Lin Dan''s mouth twitched slightly as he silently critiqued Blaze Regret''s audacity. Yet, it was precisely this kind of person who could survive in the long run. Recklessly showing off strength was the folly of a fool.


    Turning his head, Lin Dan watched Blaze Regret''s silhouette disappear around the corner. His eyes flickered rapidly before he finally clenched his teeth, swallowed the Hundred Healing Pill, and followed suit.


    As Lin Dan departed, the other vendors were left astonished. What they didn''t know was that Lin Dan would never again appear on this street.


    "Sigh, these days are really hard to bear," one vendor lamented, looking at the pile of goods before him. Without setting up stalls here, there were no customers. They couldn''t afford to rent proper shops, so they resorted to this method. Not only was the environment poor, but they also had to endure occasional bullying from people like Soul An.


    "Rustle, rustle..."


    With his face partially concealed by a black robe, Blaze Regret walked calmly forward, the soft rustle of his footsteps echoing through the quiet alley.


    "Why are you following me?" Blaze Regret asked in an indifferent tone, his eyes fixed straight ahead.


    "You''re a third grade alchemist, aren''t you?" Lin Dan hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively in a low voice.


    "That''s correct." Blaze Regret nodded slightly. Revealing his identity as a third grade alchemist posed no disadvantage to him. Unlike in Blood Stone Pass, there was no need to hide his value in this place.


    "A third grade alchemist, indeed."


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s confirmation, Lin Dan''s eyes flickered. In Snow Storm City, a third grade alchemist''s status far surpassed that of a ninth level spirit Lord master like Soul Lin. Granting a favor could easily persuade a spirit master of the same level to act, explaining why Blaze Regret showed no fear of the Soul Family.


    In this ancient city, there were over a hundred different factions, and the Soul Family was merely in the middle tier. Although Mut Kui of the Five Demon Halls was only a ninth level spirit Lord master, the gap between the eighth and ninth levels was not as simple as it might seem.


    Typically, it would take years for someone to advance from an eighth level to a ninth level spirit Lord master, with a significant risk of failure. To break through to the Spirit King level, one had to rely on talent or luck. Some ninth level spirit Lord masters remained stuck at that level for life, unable to progress even a small step further.


    Mut Kui, however, showed signs of breaking through to the Spirit King level, which allowed him to be considered a second rate force even in Snow Storm City.


    "You don''t intend to follow me, do you?"


    Stopping in his tracks, Blaze Regret looked at Lin Dan with a faint smile. A seventh level spirit Imperial master seemed to lack the value needed for acceptance.


    Lin Dan''s eyes flickered slightly as he bit his lip and spoke with determination, "Actually, others only know that I''m an ice attribute spirit master, but I have a second attribute."


    As he spoke, Lin Dan opened his palm, and a faint cyan summoning array was quickly sketched in the air. In an instant, a bat with long ears emerged from it, its wings vibrating with a peculiar humming sound.


    "Sound attribute!" Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted slightly, and for the first time, a ripple appeared in his calm heart.


    Lin Dan was unexpectedly a dual source spirit Imperial master, with his second attribute being the extremely rare sound attribute! While Blaze Regret was still absorbing this revelation, two figures with somber expressions suddenly strode onto the street they had just left.


    "Brother Yin, that''s them!" Soul An gritted his teeth and pointed, but his expression changed abruptly when he realized that Blaze Regret''s figure had already vanished.


    Standing beside him was Soul Yin.


    "Ran away, did he?"


    Soul Yin sneered disdainfully. "Turns out he''s just a coward. Daring to provoke someone from my Soul Family, he clearly doesn''t understand the meaning of danger. I''ve given you my sound transmission mark. Over the next few days, keep watch around here. If you spot him, notify me immediately. I''ll make sure he pays a price a hundred times worse than yours."

    "Thank you, Brother Yin."


    Soul An''s eyes gleamed with sudden delight as he lowered his head with a cold smile. "Kid, you better hope I don''t encounter you. Otherwise, you''ll get a taste of how terrifying the true prodigy of the Soul Family can be."


    The biting cold wind howled as it swept through, leaving the sky and streets painted in dull hues. Crystal clear ice hung from the branches, resembling blossoming clusters of silver flowers.


    "My sound attributed spirit beast is called the Morning Sound Bat. It can passively listen to sounds within a thousand meter radius. Because of this, I''ve always kept my dual attribute spirit master identity a secret," Lin Dan said with a wry smile.


    Gazing at the Morning Sound Bat, which was flicking its ears, Blaze Regret nodded silently.

 Chapter 361 - 361 Reveal

    If the powerful figures knew that all their words were being overheard by Lin Dan, the latter might meet a grim fate.


    "Moreover, if my Morning Sound Bat uses its spiritual skill, the Morning Sky Sound, it can cover an area of ten thousand meter, making it difficult even for a Spirit Sovereign expert to detect," Lin Dan continued, a hint of pride appearing on his face.


    Gently stroking his chin, Blaze Regret nodded in admiration. This was practically a divine skill. He hadn''t expected to encounter such a sound attributed spirit beast on his first day in Snow Storm City.


    Looking up at Lin Dan, Blaze Regret squinted slightly. Statistically speaking, only one in a million might become a sound attributed spirit master, and this guy was indeed fortunate. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "So, regarding the secrets within Snow Storm City, I can''t say I know everything, but I can grasp about eighty to ninety percent."


    After speaking, Lin Dan exhaled deeply. Over the years, he had painstakingly hidden his abilities, and now finally finding someone to confide in was undeniably relieving.


    "What about the secrets from over a decade ago? How much do you know?" Blaze Regret asked slowly.


    "Similarly, about eighty to ninety percent," Lin Dan replied with a delighted smile. It seemed Blaze Regret was clearly intrigued by his abilities.


    "And regarding that major encirclement?" Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared intently at Lin Dan.


    "The major encirclement... what major encirclement..."


    The smile on Lin Dan''s face instantly froze, replaced by deep fear. He then raised his head, looking at Blaze Regret with a pale expression.


    The earth shattering battle from over a decade ago might not be widely known, but having lived in Snow Storm City for thirty years, he could remember even the slightest mention from prominent families.


    However, upon realizing the magnitude of that event, he was so terrified that he refrained from using the Morning Sound Bat''s abilities for half a year.


    To think that so many forces participated in the siege against the Flame Emperor!


    And among those forces, even a single powerful figure could easily kill him dozens of times over.


    "Are you very afraid?" Blaze Regret asked softly, his brows slightly furrowed.


    "Apart from that matter, I can tell you everything else," Lin Dan replied, his voice trembling slightly and a bit hoarse.


    Blaze Regret regarded Lin Dan''s pale complexion with indifference, then abruptly turned away, leaving the alley without another word. It was clear that no matter how much he pressed, he wouldn''t extract much valuable information.


    "Wait."


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to turn the corner and return to the wide street, Lin Dan finally steeled himself, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "I can tell you, but you and the Flame Emperor..."


    "Father and son," Blaze Regret replied without turning back.


    "Father and son..."


    Finally realizing something, a look of shock dawned on Lin Dan''s face as he stared blankly at Blaze Regret''s departing figure. Could this person be a descendant of the Flame Emperor?


    His throat moved slightly, and Lin Dan was suddenly struck by a sense of unreality. If this news got out, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves through Snow Storm City. Some people definitely wouldn''t want to see him alive.


    "Can you tell me now?" Blaze Regret turned his head back, looking at Lin Dan with a cold gaze. On his shoulder, the fiery red Red was holding an unusually shaped blazing fruit, staring intently at Lin Dan.


    After a long struggle, Lin Dan finally sighed, his voice tinged with a bitter smile.


    "The Kartis family, the Soul Family, the Blood Eagle Pavillion, Tiger Demon Mountain..." With each name Lin Dan uttered, his voice carried an increasing note of bitterness. Even if he wanted to turn back now, it seemed he could never go back.


    He was gambling, gambling on whether he could turn his life around and end the days where even Soul An could bully him. But if he gambled wrong, he would undoubtedly meet a grim end.


    "Anyway, it''s a worthless life. If I die, so be it!" Soul An repeatedly chanted this phrase maniacally in his mind.


    As Lin Dan uttered the names of the involved forces, Blaze Regret''s expression grew increasingly somber. It seemed he had underestimated the dark depths of this ancient city. Besides the Kartis family, even second tier forces were involved.


    In Snow Storm City, forces with an eighth or ninth tier spirit Lord master were considered third tier. Those with a Spirit King expert were second tier, and if the Spirit King expert reached the fourth tier or higher, they could be deemed a strong first tier force.


    Tiger Demon Mountain, for instance, was the pinnacle of second tier forces, with their leader being a fourth tier Spirit King expert.


    Of course, this Spirit King expert hadn''t been seen in the city for several years, and sightings of Spirit King experts in Snow Storm City were extremely rare.


    "Angsana Pavillion, Gen Yun..."


    When Lin Dan mentioned this name, Blaze Regret''s expression changed dramatically. He turned his head, staring coldly at Lin Dan, "Say that name again."


    Slightly confused, Lin Dan replied, "Gen Yun of the Angsana Pavillion, what''s the matter? If it weren''t for him tipping off the Kartis family back then, the Flame Emperor could have left Snow Storm City smoothly and wouldn''t have had his powers forcibly sealed."


    Grinding his teeth, a wave of fury began to rise within Blaze Regret.


    "You bastards, you''ve done well. I hope you''ll all continue to live well for the time being; otherwise, I''ll be very bored!"


    Feeling the icy killing intent emanating from Blaze Regret, Lin Dan couldn''t help but shiver. Blaze Regret now resembled an enraged lion, one that was very adept at enduring.


    If he were allowed to grow unchecked, the forces involved in the massive encirclement years ago would likely face catastrophe.


    "These are three Ice Spike Pills." Blaze Regret calmed his raging emotions and, with a wave of his hand, three crystalline pills landed in front of Lin Dan.

 Chapter 362 - 362 Tianhuang Scorpion

    "I..." S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Lin Dan''s expression turned anxious. He had shared this information hoping that Blaze Regret, a third grade alchemist, would owe him a favor, thus allowing him to connect with a powerful ally. However, receiving these pills in return made him feel a bit bitter; was Blaze Regret intending to settle the score?


    "Don''t overthink it. I just want to help you improve your strength," Blaze Regret said calmly.


    These pills were concocted by Blaze Regret in his spare time. They couldn''t be absorbed by his Ice Control Irenix, but they were immensely beneficial for someone like Lin Dan. On the market, a single pill like this would fetch at least a hundred thousand gold coins.


    Hearing this, Lin Dan finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stored the Ice Spike Pills into his void realms stone.


    "By the way, tomorrow, the Thousand Stone Hall under the Angsana Pavillion is hosting an alchemist assessment. Aren''t you considering attending?" Lin Dan asked softly.


    "Alchemist assessment? Not interested," Blaze Regret replied with a dismissive shake of his head.


    The so called alchemist assessment was merely a public evaluation of an alchemist''s skills, something Blaze Regret was completely indifferent to.


    "That''s really a pity. If you could obtain the third grade alchemist''s insignia, you''d get a recipe for the Rock Cast Pill. That pill can help a ninth tier rock attributed spirit beast successfully break through to the lord level," Lin Dan said, sounding somewhat regretful.


    "Rock Cast Pill?"


    Upon hearing this, a flicker of interest appeared in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes. He then lightly licked his somewhat dry lips.


    Perhaps finding some time to participate in the alchemist assessment might be a worthwhile endeavor after all.


    The cold moonlight poured down from the sky like a layer of silver gauze, falling into the spacious room. Under the cover of this silver veil, a pale yellow fire Cat lay quietly with its eyes closed, emitting an exceptionally intense heat from within.


    As the room''s temperature gradually increased, it seemed as though one substantial pale yellow tails extended from behind the Cat, slowly swaying, presenting a rather strange sight.


    "This mutated blazing fruit has absorbed the essence of the Four tailed red flame Cat. I wonder how much benefit it will bring to Red."


    Blaze Regret looked at Red lying on the bed and smiled slightly. Beside him, a thick layer of bedding was piled up to prevent Red''s body temperature from getting too high and causing it to catch fire.


    After gazing at Red for a while longer to ensure everything was fine, Blaze Regret felt reassured. He slowly lowered his head and interlocked his fingers lightly in front of his cross legged position.


    "What''s on your mind?"


    A gentle laugh echoed, and the space beside Blaze Regret twisted. Master Magi''s figure appeared like a ghost, hovering in mid air.


    This time, his form was completely similar to before, lacking some of the imposing aura he had during the Five Demon Halls.


    "Unexpectedly, the Haitan family has declined."


    After a moment of silence, Blaze Regret sighed softly, his voice carrying an unusual hint of melancholy.


    According to ancient records, there were originally five top forces in Snow Storm City: the Kartis Family in the east, the Zang Family in the west, the Feng family in the south, the Haitan family in the north, and the last one being the Angsana Pavillion located near the imperial city.


    However, although the ancient records seemed all knowing, they only contained information from over a decade ago. After a conversation with Lin Dan, Blaze Regret learned that the once glorious Haitan family in the north had long since fallen into decline.


    The reason for their downfall was that a few years ago, during a hunt for the Tianhuang Scorpion, the head of the Haitan family, Haitan Setan, was betrayed by Kartis Sham and severely injured by the scorpion. His strength plummeted from a sixth tier Spirit King to a second tier Spirit King.


    As a result, the Haitan family''s status in Snow Storm City plummeted dramatically.


    Blaze Regret sighed because, during that massive siege, Haitan Setan had once helped his father by driving away Kartis Sham''s Dark Thunder Soul. According to Lin Dan, this was clearly an act of retaliation.


    "Why think so much? It''s not your fault," Master Magi glanced at Blaze Regret indifferently, then lowered his head to peruse a brilliant book, which seemed noticeably thicker than it had been before.


    "Yeah, it''s not my fault," Blaze Regret shrugged helplessly. Although he said this, he couldn''t shake the uncomfortable feeling inside.


    "By the way, can my Healing Star Pendant help Haitan Setan return to his peak?" Blaze Regret suddenly brightened up and took out a pendant shimmering with starlight from the Void realms stone.


    "No."


    Glancing at the Healing star Pendant, a slight ripple passed through Master Magi''s eyes before he looked away indifferently. "Although this pendant is highly valuable, Haitan Setan''s injuries are too severe. As long as the Tianhuang Scorpion lives, he will never have the chance to recover. In fact, in a few years, his strength might even plummet again."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret did not feel dejected. Instead, his eyes filled with endless anticipation as he stared directly at Master Magi.


    Faced with such a gaze from Blaze Regret, Master Magi sighed and shook his head after a brief silence. "Alright, alright. That Tianhuang Scorpion is a sixth tier high level King beast. To take it down, I''ll have to exert quite a bit of effort."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes lit up with joy, and the guilt in his heart dissipated significantly.


    "A sixth tier king beast," Blaze Regret repeated, smacking his lips slightly. For a Spirit King, the corresponding spirit beast is a King beast, which, as the name suggests, undergoes a massive transformation after breaking through from a Lord level spirit beast.


    Even the strongest Lord level spirit beast cannot defeat a Spirit King level one, which is why Spirit King hold such a transcendent status in the empire.

 Chapter 363 - 363 Inherit Skill

    Suddenly, Red''s body began to levitate slowly. Pale yellow luminescence enveloped it like a light ball, with ripples rapidly spreading around it.


    "Hmm?" Master Magi, holding the book in one hand, looked at Red with a surprised expression.


    Suspended in mid air, Red let out a soft hum. The sun mark on its forehead flickered rapidly, and the Four tails behind it, seemingly solid, became increasingly refined.


    Suddenly, Red opened its eyes, and two muffled sounds echoed from within its body. Its eyes were enveloped in pale yellow flames, as if they were about to ignite.


    "Swish!"


    With a swift twist of its body, the Four fiery tails behind Red extended sharply, resembling Four sharp spears shooting out. The energy emanating from them caused the furnishings in the room to shatter with cracking sounds.


    "Stop!"


    In an instant, Master Magi moved, his palm spinning slightly. The sharp tips of Red''s Four fiery tails pressed against his palm, sending out ripples of pale yellow fire.


    "Retract!"


    With a slight smile, Master Magi waved his hand, and Red''s Four long tails quickly returned to their original size. The one energy tails then disintegrated into countless light particles, spreading throughout the spacious room.


    "A consecutive breakthrough?" Blaze Regret caught the falling Red, his face flushed with excitement. Originally, he had expected Red to take at least two more months to break through to the ninth tier, but a single spiritual fruit had allowed it to achieve this goal overnight.


    The lifelong spiritual power of the Four tailed red flame Cat was indeed formidable.


    "By the way, those Four tails just now..." Blaze Regret stared at Red''s back, a hint of confusion in his eyes.


    "It''s the spirit technique of the Four tailed red flame Cat, the Four Tailed Spear. I didn''t expect that this fruit not only helped it break through but also luckily allowed it to inherit some features of the Four tailed red flame Cat. If I hadn''t acted in time, its tails could have extended at least several dozen meters, and this entire inn would have been demolished," Master Magi remarked, casting a sidelong glance at Red, who responded with an ungracious grin.


    "That''s terrifying," Blaze Regret said with delight, rubbing Red''s head. A thought then crossed his mind, wondering if the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat could mutate again to become an even more powerful spirit beast than the Four tailed red flame Cat.


    However, every time Red mutated, it seemed to require the consumption of a peculiar flame.


    Recalling the scenes of Red''s past mutations, Blaze Regret fell into contemplation, sensing an inexplicable connection between these events.


    "Right now, the most important task is to find a way for both Red and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros to break through. I hope I can become a spirit Lord master soon."


    Looking up at the moonlight outside the window, Blaze Regret smiled gently.


    On the spacious street, a figure held a sound transmitting shell in his hand, looking excitedly at the exquisite restaurant not far away. His body trembled slightly from excitement. Judging by his facial features, he was a member of the Soul Family, Soul An.


    Just a few breaths ago, he had witnessed the young man with the fire Cat perched on his shoulder entering the restaurant.


    Taking a deep breath, Soul An lifted the sound transmitting shell to his mouth and said with ecstatic enthusiasm, "Brother Yin, I saw that kid. He''s in the Crane Howl Building on Seven Bend Alley."


    There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by an indifferent voice that spoke with a tone of disinterest.


    "Got it. Keep an eye on him."


    Hearing Soul Yin''s response, Soul An''s face lit up with joy. He then lifted his head, staring menacingly in the direction of the restaurant, and muttered, "You little brat, dared to embarrass me. I''m going to take your life today!"


    Inside the restaurant, Red sat squatting on the table, crazily stuffing food into its mouth, producing sounds of joyful munching.


    Meanwhile, below the table, Ethereal Lotus leaned against Blaze Regret''s leg. From time to time, a vine would extend from her palm to sneak food off the table, her face displaying a mischievous expression.


    With his hand stroking Red''s small head, Blaze Regret gazed out the window. In the distance, his eyes fell upon a majestic and ancient building, with the gilded characters "Thousand Stone Hall" prominently displayed on the plaque. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "After a long journey, I''ve finally found it."


    Retracting his gaze, Blaze Regret picked up the teacup from the table and took a gentle sip.


    The Thousand Stone Hall belonged to a neutral organization under the Angsana Pavilion, not involved in any power disputes. Thus, even the arch enemies of the Angsana Pavilion could undergo alchemist assessments there.


    Once the assessment was passed, it would undoubtedly receive recognition throughout the entire empire.


    "I wonder how many new alchemists will emerge this year. It''s said that in the last assessment, there was one second rank alchemist and three first rank alchemists."


    Hearing the voices around him, Blaze Regret smiled faintly. Generally speaking, a second rank alchemist is already an extremely rare existence. It''s likely that a third rank alchemist as young as him has yet to appear in the empire.


    Of course, his rapid progress can be largely attributed to the benefits of the Medicine Emperor Seed.


    "What''s the alchemist assessment compared to the Kartis Family Trial happening in a month? That''s what truly draws attention. It''s rumored that the descendant of that person will also appear in the trial."


    "The Flame Emperor?"


    A naive fellow had just asked the question when his companion quickly pulled him aside, nervously pointing at a young man sitting in the corner.


    On the chest of this young man was a thunder pattern emblem, which was undeniably famous in Snow Storm City.


    This is the unique mark of the first class power, the Kartis family.


    And that young man, as if entirely oblivious to the discussions around him, continued eating his meal without even lifting his head.

 Chapter 364 - 364 Terror

    This person was Kartis kong of the Kartis family, possessing the power of an eighth grade spirit Imperial master, making his position within the Kartis family extremely solid.


    If no unforeseen events occur, he also has the potential to strive towards becoming a Spirit King expert in the future.


    "The descendant of that person?"


    Of course, not everyone was focused on Kartis kong in the corner. In the middle of the crowd, a young man continued excitedly, "It''s said that back in the day, the Flame Emperor single handedly compelled two Spirit Sovereigns to bow their heads. That''s truly incredible! And to think, he had just broken through, while those two Spirit Sovereigns were long established names."


    "Who wouldn''t agree? Just thinking about it now is enough to get the blood boiling."


    "By the looks of it, he should be the most talented person in the Sun Moon Empire. It''s said that he broke through to the Spirit Sovereign level at just twenty three or twenty four."


    "Clap!"


    Amidst the heated discussions, Kartis Kong in the corner suddenly slammed his chopsticks onto the table, his face ice cold.


    Instantly, the previously lively restaurant fell into complete silence.


    "The Flame Emperor, does he even deserve that title?"


    Kartis Kong sneered, a mocking smirk slowly appearing on his lips, "He''s merely a descendant of a lowly servant from my Kartis family. In his bones, he carries lowly blood. Even if he becomes a Spirit Sovereign, at the end of the day, he''s still a humble servant of the Kartis family."


    "Moreover, when the Youngang Empire was repelled back then, it was the strongmen of my Kartis family who led the charge. Blaze Ash just happened to seize an opportunity with a couple of moves. Such a fraud, seeking fame and stealing credit, would have no place to stand today."


    Upon hearing Kartis Kong''s sneering remarks, many people nodded obsequiously, their expressions ingratiating. Yet, many others were inwardly furious, though the Kartis family''s overwhelming power left them unable to utter a word.


    Kartis Kong scanned the room, feeling quite satisfied with the expressions on everyone''s faces. After all, someone who rose through sheer luck, a mere lower class person, had no right to be mentioned repeatedly.


    Suddenly, a shadow loomed over the table in front of him. Kartis Kong looked up to see the face of a young man, expressionless, appearing before him.


    "Is there something you need?" Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Kartis Kong stretched lazily, his face relaxed and indifferent, "You should be just the right age to participate in our family''s trial. However, if you''re hoping to gain an advantage through me in the trial, I''m afraid I''ll have to disappoint you."


    Clearly, Kartis Kong mistook Blaze Regret for one of those eager to align themselves with the kartis family.


    Such people had been frequent in recent months.


    At this moment, downstairs in the restaurant.


    With a sneer on his face, Soul An looked up at the towering restaurant, already plotting how he would humiliate Blaze Regret later and make him pay for his actions the previous day.


    Although the Soul Family was only considered a third rate power, their connections in Snow Storm City were astonishingly extensive. With just a few inquiries, Soul An had managed to track down Blaze Regret''s whereabouts.


    "Clap!"


    A strong hand suddenly clapped onto his shoulder. Soul An was about to turn around and curse, but when he saw who it was, his face immediately transformed into a fawning smile. "Brother Yin, you got here so quickly."


    Rising slowly, Soul Yin looked towards the restaurant with an indifferent expression, but the burn mark on his head appeared comically absurd no matter how one looked at it.


    Though Soul An was holding back laughter internally, he dared not show it on his face, instead maintaining a respectful demeanor.


    "Lead the way," Soul Yin said coolly. Soul An''s status in the family was much lower than his, so there was no need for politeness in his speech.


    "Yes!" Soul An nodded repeatedly and happily led the way, while inwardly laughing maniacally. You little rascal, just wait for your doom. Soul Yin''s methods of dealing with people are far more interesting than mine.


    "Bang!"


    Just as the two were about to move, a side of the restaurant suddenly burst open, scattering splinters of wood everywhere. A white figure followed, tracing an arc through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground.


    Kartis Kong''s body plummeted rapidly from the top of the restaurant, his back landing heavily on the ground. Tiny cracks spread swiftly beneath him, resembling a vast spider web.


    The sudden turn of events caused the bustling street to fall into an eerie silence. All eyes were fixed on the fallen figure, and when someone recognized Kartis Kong''s identity, they couldn''t help but gasp in shock.


    "Kartis... Kartis Kong..."


    Soul Yin stared wide eyed at the disheveled figure in the center of the cracks. To someone like Soul Yin, who belonged to a third rate power, Kartis Kong was usually an unattainable figure, given the vast difference between their statuses.


    "What happened?" Soul An''s lips quivered slightly, his face filled with alarm. The shock in his heart was even more apparent than Soul Yin''s.


    "Poof!"


    Kartis Kong, eyes filled with terror as he looked up at the sky, spat out a mouthful of blood. The crimson droplets scattered like a shower of rain, and his face contorted in intense pain, as two sharp bamboo chopsticks pierced through his cheeks.


    "How could his strength be so overwhelming..."


    Recalling the youth''s punch that shattered the air, Kartis Kong was overwhelmed by a deep sense of despair. It was the first time he felt such a profound sense of helpless defeat.


    "Clap"


    A clear sound of footsteps echoed, drawing everyone''s tense gaze towards the restaurant''s entrance. They were eager to see who this audacious individual was, daring to challenge the Kartis family, and even managing to bring down Kartis Kong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master.

 Chapter 365 - 365 satisfaction

    "Is it him?"


    Upon seeing the young man stepping out slowly, Soul Yin''s expression changed dramatically, while Soul An''s body swayed as if all his strength had been drained.


    That was Kartis Kong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master, someone who could rival Soul family''s most outstanding genius, Soul Kun! Yet now, he had been knocked down from the towering restaurant by Blaze Regret, like a dead dog!


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s youthful face, a wave of shock surged through the hearts of the onlookers. They had expected that such a violent act would have been committed by some old monster, but to their surprise, it turned out to be someone so young.


    Slowly walking over to Kartis Kong, Blaze Regret slightly inclined his head, casting an emotionless gaze upon the face of the person below.


    "Who... who are you...?"


    Kartis Kong, appearing almost deranged, screamed hoarsely, enduring the excruciating pain on his face. Ever since he was born, everyone treated him with utmost respect. But today, he had been punched off the restaurant by some unknown entity, utterly losing face, which stirred a deep sense of murderous intent within him.


    Looking at Kartis Kong with indifference, Blaze Regret remained silent. At that moment, at least a thousand pairs of eyes were focused on him from all directions, including those of several spirit master powerhouses.


    "Do you know who I am? I am Kartis Kong of the Kartis family!"


    Kartis Kong''s anger flared even more as Blaze Regret''s indifferent gaze fixed on him. To this moment, he still hadn''t figured out why this young man had suddenly attacked. However, it no longer mattered. Regardless of the reason, he was determined to use all means necessary to destroy this person.


    "Oh."


    With a nonchalant glance at the person beneath him, Blaze Regret suddenly lifted his right leg, his foot striking Kartis Kong''s ribs like a whirlwind. Instantly, the crisp sound of a bone cracking echoed, and Kartis Kong''s body was sent rapidly flying across the ground strewn with tiny stones.


    "That''s ruthless!"


    Watching Kartis Kong''s body being shot across the ground, many people''s eyes widened in shock, but their hearts were undoubtedly filled with a sense of satisfaction. This was especially true for those leaning out the restaurant windows; the pent up frustration they had felt earlier was finally released a bit.


    "Swish!"


    Kartis Kong''s body, accompanied by the grating sound of friction, slid tens of meters before coming to a gradual stop. The place where he stopped was right in front of Soul Yin and Soul An.


    Their jaws quivered slightly, and Soul Yin and Soul An''s faces turned deathly pale.


    Especially when they saw Kartis Kong''s miserable face, the fear in their hearts seemed to solidify. For those who lived in the sheltered environment of an ivory tower, Blaze Regret''s violent actions were nothing short of demonic.


    Slowly approaching Kartis Kong, Blaze Regret tilted his head and glanced at Kartis Kong, whose mouth was bleeding. He then lifted his gaze towards Soul Yin and Soul An, and softly asked, "Are you here to seek revenge on me?"


    Swallowing hard, both Soul Yin and Soul An shook their heads vigorously, the terror on their faces reaching an extreme level.


    "Then what are you doing here?" Blaze Regret asked, looking at Soul Yin instead of Soul An, with an inexplicable tone. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "We... we came to enjoy the scenery," Soul Yin stammered for a long time before finally uttering these faltering words, though even he found them unbelievable.


    "Oh."


    Blaze Regret looked down at Kartis Kong again and softly said, "They came to laugh at you."


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Kong could no longer contain his rage. Hot blood spurted from his mouth, and his face twisted to the extreme with grief and indignation.


    At this point, he had clearly lost the ability to think rationally. Stimulated by Blaze Regret''s words, he began to harbor a grudge against Soul Yin and Soul An, who had witnessed his disgraceful state.


    Given his vengeful nature, these two would surely face a miserable fate in the future.


    "Wow!"


    At that moment, several large shadows began to circle in the sky. These were majestic blue eagles, each carrying a soldier clad in uniform silver white armor on its back.


    "The enforcement squad, huh."


    Blaze Regret looked up at the sky and sighed gently. This level of fighting seemed to be nearing the limit, especially in such a densely populated area.


    Their arrival at this moment served merely as a warning. If Blaze Regret were to make any further reckless moves, it was likely that countless attacks would descend upon him in the next instant.


    It must be said that the discipline in Snow Storm City was quite strict. In contrast, in towns like Velorian City, even if chaos ensued, it was unlikely that anyone would intervene.


    "If you have the guts, leave your name!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret turn to leave, Kartis Kong, lying on the ground, suddenly became fierce, his voice laced with a strong sense of threat. With the enforcement squad present, his confidence was evidently bolstered.


    "Name?"


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s expression turned somewhat peculiar. "Are we that familiar? Besides, haven''t you already experienced my capabilities? Do you really wish to experience them again?"


    Casting a speechless glance at Kartis Kong, Blaze Regret shook his head and, under the watchful eyes of many, turned and left.


    As they watched Blaze Regret''s departing figure, Kartis Kong''s vision darkened, and he fainted on the spot. Meanwhile, Soul Yin and Soul An beside him were trembling uncontrollably.


    "Yin, what do we do now?" Soul An asked in terror.


    Slowly turning his head, Soul Yin stared at Soul An with bloodshot eyes and roared, "You really don''t know, you fool! You''ve screwed me over. Just wait until we get back to the clan; I''ll deal with you then!"


    Soul An''s body swayed, his face overtaken by a deep seated fear.


    "It''s over..."


    At this moment, only this thought echoed in his mind.

 Chapter 366 - 366 Alchemist Assessment

    As Blaze Regret departed, the spacious street once again fell into a deathly silence. One by one, eyes glanced at Kartis Kong, who lay on the ground, before quietly dispersing.


    Sometimes, watching too much excitement can lead to unexpected trouble.


    "Whoosh!"


    Suddenly, a rapid sound of something slicing through the wind echoed from afar on the street. Immediately, a massive shadow darted over like lightning, halting with a step in front of Kartis Kong.


    It was a majestic Thunder Wolf, with faint lightning flickering around its body, emitting an exceptionally powerful aura.


    Gazing at the figure on the Thunder Wolf''s back, both Soul Yin and Soul An''s pupils contracted, and they lowered their heads, not daring to breathe loudly.


    This was because the person was Kartis Van, the youngest son of Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family.


    Standing beside Kartis Kong, Kartis Van looked down indifferently at his miserable state and said softly, "You really know how to disgrace our Kartis Family, getting yourself into such a state."


    "Cough!"


    Kartis Kong''s chest shook violently as he spat out a mouthful of blood, not daring to meet Kartis Van''s eyes. He stammered, "That young man was too strong, with just one punch..."


    "I don''t want to hear your excuses. Prepare to be punished when we return," Kartis Van said flatly.


    Hearing this, Kartis Kong lowered his head in shame, fully aware of the disgrace his experience today would bring to the Kartis Family.


    "However, not just anyone can touch a member of the Kartis Family." S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    A cold glint flashed in Kartis Van''s eyes, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Describe that person in detail, and I guarantee he won''t leave Snow Storm City alive."


    After hesitating for a moment, Kartis Kong said in a low voice, "I only remember that there was a fire Cat lying on his shoulder."


    "A fire Cat?"


    Kartis Van''s eyes slightly narrowed, and then he gently squinted. This characteristic seemed quite distinctive, but why did it sound somewhat familiar?


    "Young Master Kartis, that person¡­ is Blaze Regret," Soul Yin hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up.


    "Blaze Regret?"


    Kartis Van was momentarily stunned, then a cruel smile slowly spread across his face. "I see. No wonder someone dared to touch a member of my Kartis Family. So, it''s the descendant of that lowly person. In that case, let''s settle both old and new scores. Before, I only intended to take his two legs. Now, in the ancient grounds, let''s cut off his two arms as well."


    Hearing this, both Soul Yin and Soul An couldn''t help but shiver. The thought of someone losing all their limbs made their scalps tingle.


    "By the way, with Kartis Kong lying here, you two did nothing?"


    Kartis Van''s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he spoke in an icy tone, "Your Soul Family is becoming more capable, isn''t it? Go back and tell Soul Lin that the slots for entering the Kartis Family''s ancient grounds will be reduced by three."


    Soul Yin and Soul An''s eyes widened in disbelief, and in the next instant, their faces were filled with terror. The Soul Family originally had only four slots, and if Soul Lin found out about this, they''d probably be skinned alive.


    This was no exaggeration!


    "However, it seems the alchemist assessment is about to start. I wonder if I can achieve the rank of a third grade alchemist this time."


    Muttering softly to himself, Kartis Van turned his head and said with a cold expression, "The two of you, take Kartis Kong back to the Kartis Family. If his injuries worsen even slightly, I will make you both end up like this."


    Hearing this, Soul Yin and Soul An could only nod bitterly. Soul Yin, in particular, cursed Soul An hundreds of times in his heart.


    ¡­


    Leisurely walking through several streets, Blaze Regret stopped in front of a quaint building. He then looked up at the three gilded characters "Thousand Stone Hall" and smiled slightly. If he could obtain the Rock Cast Pill, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros might be able to advance to the lord level.


    Sometimes, when I think about it, raising so many spirit beasts at once can indeed be quite a headache. However, the thought of the rewards that come with all the hard work makes it worthwhile.


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret shook his head and then walked towards the Thousand Stone Hall.


    As he stepped through the entrance, a pleasant aroma of medicinal herbs wafted through the air, lifting his spirits. Blaze Regret couldn''t help but smile to himself, recognizing the familiar scent. He was certain that someone had refined the Void Soul Pill here within the last five hours.


    Contrary to his expectations of a bustling scene, there were only a dozen or so people inside the Thousand Stone Hall, and their ages varied greatly. One elderly man, appearing to be at least seventy or eighty years old, wore only a first grade alchemist''s badge on his chest.


    It was evident that this elder intended to qualify as a second grade alchemist.


    "Is that you?"


    While Blaze Regret was observing the people around, a crisp voice tinged with surprise suddenly came from behind him.


    With a slight curiosity, Blaze Regret turned around to see a fiery red figure enter his view. Her pure yet alluring face was truly unforgettable.


    "Zang Dee?" Blaze Regret was somewhat speechless, not expecting to encounter an acquaintance at the Thousand Stone Hall.


    "Are you an alchemist too?" Zang Dee''s face showed a hint of surprise, her seductive lips slightly pursed. Instantly, all the people preparing for the assessment focused their attention on her.


    When they saw that the person speaking with Zang Dee was a male, their faces were filled with intense jealousy. In Snow Storm City, few could resist Zang Dee''s allure.


    However, at the back of the crowd, a woman''s expression was not so pleasant. She glanced at Zang Dee and snorted disdainfully.

 Chapter 367 - 367 Alchemist Assessment 2

    This woman, named Kartis Siti, was quite attractive herself, but when compared to Zang Dee, her advantages seemed to pale in comparison.


    "Vixen, if it weren''t for that face of yours, your reputation in Snow Storm City wouldn''t surpass mine. Who knows, one day something might happen, and that face of yours could be completely ruined," Kartis Siti thought venomously.


    "That''s right," Blaze Regret nodded slightly, his eyes then filled with surprise as they lingered on the badge on Zang Dee''s chest, which bore two stars. "You''re a second grade alchemist?"


    "Of course!" Zang Dee replied with pride, puffing out her chest. It felt quite satisfying to flaunt a little in front of the young man who had previously bested her twice.


    She hadn''t realized that she was already showing some rare emotions to this young man she''d only met once before.


    "Impressive," Blaze Regret genuinely marveled. It seemed Zang Dee was here to attempt advancing to a third grade alchemist. Such a young third grade alchemist would indeed be considered a prodigy.


    "Hmph, you''re here to qualify as a first grade alchemist, aren''t you? If you pass in one go, I wouldn''t mind giving you a few pointers in the future, considering you have some talent," Zang Dee smiled, the fire lotus mark on her forehead seemingly coming alive, making her delicate face even more enchanting.


    Looking at her smile, the male alchemists couldn''t help but gape, their faces showing a dazed expression, which made Kartis Siti, standing at the back, look furious.


    "Master Stone is here."


    With a gentle turn of her beautiful eyes, Zang Dee looked toward the elderly figure slowly emerging from the back of the Thousand Stone Hall and said with a smile, "Little brother, I''m looking forward to seeing your performance."


    Being watched so closely by Zang Dee, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but twitch his lips slightly. No wonder people say beauty can be a curse; if not for his exceptional self control, he might have already been led by the nose.


    "However, taking this opportunity to see where my limits lie doesn''t seem bad at all," Blaze Regret thought, turning his head to look at the elderly figure that had suddenly appeared, and he chuckled softly.


    An elder named Stone Yee appeared at the front of the hall, and the previously noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down. When Blaze Regret saw the four star badge on the elder''s chest, he couldn''t help but be amazed. He didn''t expect that the person responsible for the assessment would be a fourth grade alchemist. From this, it seemed that the leader of the Thousand Stone Hall must be at least a fifth grade alchemist.


    "The foundation of Snow Storm City is indeed deep," Blaze Regret pondered silently.


    As the elder explained, Blaze Regret gradually understood the rules of the assessment. Successfully refining a first grade pill would earn one the recognition of being a first grade alchemist. If one could successfully refine a second grade pill, then they would be recognized as a second grade alchemist, and so on.


    However, before participating in this assessment, a small test must first be conducted.


    Behind the Thousand Stone Hall, there was a spacious courtyard with special facilities. Participants in the assessment only needed to place their palms on it, and a soul arrow would automatically condense. The strength of the arrow roughly determined whether one was qualified to participate in the assessment.


    Otherwise, if everyone could directly refine pills, the annual expenses of the Thousand Stone Hall would be an extremely large sum.


    "Now, you may proceed with the test." sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a wave of Stone Yee''s sleeve, the dozen or so participants eagerly waiting for the assessment quickly surged into the courtyard. In an instant, the hall was empty.


    "Aren''t you going?" Blaze Regret asked Zang Dee, who remained unmoved, with curiosity.


    "A second grade alchemist doesn''t need to go through this procedure," Zang Dee said, lifting her pretty face with a hint of pride. Second grade alchemists already had some privileges and even the profound Thousand Stone Hall would offer them some preferential treatment.


    Seeing Zang Dee''s somewhat childish demeanor, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but smile. He then waved his hand and walked towards the courtyard.


    As he passed by Stone Yee, the elder''s eyes noticeably narrowed, and a subtle gleam flashed across them. It seemed like there was a promising candidate this time.


    Zang Dee, with her lips slightly pursed, watched Blaze Regret''s back with bright eyes. She impulsively followed him, her interest in this peculiar young man growing stronger.


    "Hmm?"


    A hint of surprise flashed in Stone Yee''s old eyes. He had never seen Zang Dee take such an interest in someone before. Even some of the top talents in the city couldn''t capture her attention.


    "Curious," Stone Yee chuckled and shook his head. He then turned around, taking a roster, and walked into the courtyard.


    The cold wind, carrying traces of snowflakes, rustled through the sky, causing some withered yellow leaves to sway and rustle.


    Beneath those fallen leaves lay a series of peculiar stone pillars. These pillars were jet black, with complex runes flowing around them, giving off an aura of mystery.


    Opposite these stone pillars stood several targets, which left Blaze Regret, who was participating in the test for the first time, somewhat puzzled.


    "When the test starts, place your palm in the indentation on the stone pillar. The special runes within will extract your soul power to form a sharp soul arrow. The stronger your soul power, the more concentrated the arrow will be. If you can successfully hit the target, you qualify for the first grade alchemist assessment. If you hit the bullseye, then your soul power is at least at the level of a second grade alchemist," explained Zang Dee, standing beside Blaze Regret with a slight curve to her lips.


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded silently. The Thousand Stone Hall, as a faction under the Angsana Pavilion, indeed had its unique methods. Previously, he could scarcely imagine such a way to test the concentration of soul power.

 Chapter 368 - 368 Alchemist Assessment 3

    Just as Zang Dee''s crisp voice faded, a young man stepped forward. He took a deep breath and placed his palm on the dark stone pillar. Complex runes rapidly flashed at the front of the pillar, and after a moment, a seemingly dim soul arrow began to faintly condense.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a sharp whistling sound, the soul arrow shot out swiftly, but it dispersed halfway, turning into countless light points that scattered away. The young man''s face instantly turned extremely dejected. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Hee Tan, not qualified," Stone Yee stated blandly.


    After the young man''s elimination, several more people took the test. When a woman named Kartis Siti hit the bullseye with a snap of her soul arrow, she smirked triumphantly, turned her head to give Zang Dee a provocative glance, and then her gaze fell on Blaze Regret.


    Feeling Kartis Siti''s provocative stare, Blaze Regret was somewhat baffled. It seemed he hadn''t provoked her in any way.


    What he didn''t know was that Kartis Siti''s dislike and jealousy towards Zang Dee had reached an extreme point. The saying "hate the house and its crow" applied here, and Blaze Regret was merely caught in the crossfire.


    "Petty creature," Zang Dee remarked disdainfully, barely glancing at Kartis Siti''s provocative behavior. She couldn''t be bothered to react further, as the gap between them was not something mere jealousy could bridge.


    "The last one."


    Stone Yee''s aged voice suddenly rang out, and immediately, dozens of eyes turned and focused on Blaze Regret. It was their first time seeing this stranger coming to participate in the assessment.


    With a slight shrug, Blaze Regret walked up to the dark stone pillar. Just as he was about to place his palm on it, a voice filled with mockery suddenly echoed.


    "Good thing there''s this test; otherwise, who knows how much material the Thousand Stone Hall would waste each year on those who vainly attempt to become alchemists," Kartis Siti scoffed, then shifted her gaze away from Blaze Regret. Her qualification for the second grade alchemist assessment had instilled in her a sense of overwhelming superiority.


    "What do you mean, Kartis Siti?" Zang Dee''s beautiful eyes finally showed a hint of coldness. She could ignore Kartis Siti''s provocations towards her, but now that the conflict had involved the innocent Blaze Regret, she could no longer stand by indifferently.


    "Did I say anything wrong?"


    Seeing Zang Dee finally respond to her, Kartis Siti felt even more smug. "Three years ago, I was already eligible for the first grade alchemist assessment, and now, I have the opportunity to aim for the second grade. Moreover, the prodigy of my clan, Kartis Van, hit the bullseye with his soul arrow on his first test attempt. Some destined to be useless person shouldn''t harbor any delusions."


    Hearing this, even the usually crafty Zang Dee''s eyes filled with a cold glint. Just as she was about to take action and teach Kartis Siti a lesson, a resigned sigh suddenly interrupted.


    "The Kartis Family people really are arrogant and conceited."


    "You..."


    Just as Kartis Siti was about to get angry, her eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. Before Blaze Regret''s palm on the dark stone pillar, a sharp soul arrow rapidly formed, and Master Stone Yee''s face even showed a hint of delight at its condensed form.


    "Go!"


    With a flick of his hand, Blaze Regret sent the soul arrow whistling through the air, tearing a long trail through it, and it shot fiercely at the target.


    Under countless shocked gazes, the target was shattered to pieces. The sharp soul arrow pierced through several targets consecutively, finally embedding itself with a swish into the thick wall.


    As everyone stared at the quivering arrow tail, the vast courtyard fell into a stunned silence.


    A solid soul arrow was deeply embedded in the wall. Everyone''s pupils contracted at that moment, followed by a chorus of gasps that seemed to meld into one continuous sound. Hitting the bullseye in a first test is already an extraordinary talent, but to shatter the target completely, and consecutively at that, was unprecedented.


    The dark spirit power arrows slowly dissipated like smoke. Kartis Siti''s expression turned extremely unpleasant, a burning sensation rising on her face as if she had been slapped hard.


    What does hitting the bullseye matter when someone can destroy the entire target? This indicates that Blaze Regret''s soul refinement level is at least at the pinnacle of a second grade alchemist!


    "Who would''ve thought, you''re quite impressive," Zang Dee muttered to herself, a glint of astonishment flashing in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Blaze Regret.


    "You, young friend, your alchemy skills must be at least second grade, right? Achieving such accomplishments at your age is truly rare. Do you often have guidance?" Stone Yee asked, his old eyes burning with interest as he looked at Blaze Regret.


    Zang Dee''s delicate brows arched in surprise. With her intelligence, it was easy to see that Stone Yee was clearly considering taking on a disciple.


    Compared to Zang Dee''s surprise, Kartis Siti in the distance looked livid. After passing the alchemist assessment, the elders in her family once took her to visit Stone Yee, but he rejected her outright without even thinking, which dimmed her fragile heart for a long time.


    And now, Stone Yee wanted to take as a disciple someone she had mocked. This move was like a sharp sword piercing her heart once again.


    "Master Stone Yee, I currently have no intention of becoming anyone''s disciple," Blaze Regret smiled, politely declining.


    "That''s truly a pity."


    With a soft sigh, Stone Yee glanced at the remnants of the target on the ground, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes as he asked seriously, "Young friend, do you perhaps think little of Thousand Stone''s alchemy?"


    Hearing this, Kartis Siti''s eyes lit up with joy. Could it be that Stone Yee was going to give Blaze Regret trouble? This was something she would gladly see.

 Chapter 369 - 369 Alchemist Assessment 4

    "What is this old guy up to?" Zang Dee pursed her charming lips. As a member of the Angsana Pavillion, she had interacted with Stone Yee frequently, but at the moment, she couldn''t quite grasp the meaning behind his words. However, it certainly wasn''t to cause trouble.


    Stone Yee had always been known as the good natured one at the Angsana Pavillion.


    "Not at all..." Blaze Regret began to speak, but was interrupted by Stone Yee, who waved his hand with a slight frown, so he could only smile wryly and press his lips together.


    "You truly don''t know what''s good for you. Being accepted as a disciple by Master Stone Yee is a fortune accumulated over three lifetimes!" Kartis Siti seized the opportunity, adding fuel to the fire with her harsh voice, attempting to incite Stone Yee''s anger towards Blaze Regret.


    However, Stone Yee slowly turned his head, looking at Kartis Siti with a cold gaze. "Does this matter concern you, or do you think being from the Kartis Family gives you the right to meddle here?"


    Hearing this, Kartis Siti trembled, hastily closing her mouth in fear, having no idea which words had offended Stone Yee.


    "My alchemy skills are likely limited to this level in this lifetime. It''s understandable if you don''t think much of them."


    With a slight squint of his eyes, Stone Yee made a decision in his heart. He turned to Blaze Regret and said earnestly, "Young friend, if you are willing, after the alchemist assessment, I will put aside my pride and seek out that old fellow Mut Zen. His alchemy skills are at the pinnacle of the fifth grade and might break through to the sixth grade in less than half a year. With his guidance, your future will surely be even more formidable."


    Stone Yee''s words were like a heavy hammer striking Kartis Siti''s head. Her mind buzzed, and her face was filled with disbelief.


    Mut Zen was the father of Mut Lit, the master of the Angsana Pavillion. His unparalleled alchemy skills intimidated the entire empire, unmatched by anyone. Establishing a connection with him would allow someone to walk with impunity even in Snow Storm City!


    "More formidable than Mut Zen?" Zang Dee''s focus was entirely on the last part of Stone Yee''s statement. Covering her red lips with her delicate hand, she was full of shock. Was it possible that the always proud Stone Yee had such a high opinion of Blaze Regret?


    If this were to spread, it would be hard for anyone to believe!


    Feeling the envious and jealous gazes around him, Blaze Regret shook his head with a wry smile. He wasn''t afraid of Stone Yee causing trouble; what he feared was the difficulty of refusing such generosity, especially considering the troubles he was already dealing with.

    Seeing Blaze Regret shake his head, Stone Yee became anxious. With his sharp eyes, he could easily see that Blaze Regret''s alchemy skills might have already reached the pinnacle of the third grade, with limitless potential. If he could persuade Blaze Regret to join him, it could benefit the Thousand Stone Hall and even the entire Angsana Pavillion in the future!


    "Senior Stone, let''s begin the assessment. I''m here solely for the recipe of the Rock Cast Pill," Blaze Regret said, rubbing his nose awkwardly.


    Though said unintentionally, Zang Dee caught the implication. Blaze Regret, who clearly had a fire attribute spirit beast, was eager to obtain an earth attribute pill recipe. Could there be some secret behind it?


    "The recipe for the Rock Cast Pill?"


    Stone Yee''s eyes lit up, and after pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and shamelessly said, "If you don''t agree to my request, I''ll remove the Rock Cast Pill recipe from the rewards for the third grade alchemist."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret was initially stunned, then found it somewhat amusing. Wasn''t Stone Yee supposed to be the esteemed elder of the Angsana Pavillion? Why was he behaving like a street rogue?


    "Sorry, if the Rock Cast Pill recipe is not included, then I won''t participate in the assessment," Blaze Regret replied, shaking his head and turning to leave.


    "Stop right there!"


    Stone Yee''s expression turned increasingly anxious. He stepped forward and grabbed Blaze Regret''s arm, saying, "You can have the Rock Cast Pill recipe, but if you successfully pass the third grade alchemist assessment, you must agree to become an honorary elder of the Angsana Pavillion."


    Feeling slightly intrigued, Blaze Regret hesitated and asked, "Honorary elder? Are there any restrictions?"


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s interest, Stone Yee quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, somewhat exasperatedly, "There are no restrictions at all. You will receive the protection of the Angsana Pavillion and even a monthly supply of cultivation resources. All we ask is that you assist us if the Angsana Pavillion ever faces difficulties."


    After a moment of contemplation, Blaze Regret reluctantly nodded. This appearance made the other candidates want to scream in frustration, as the position was something others dreamed of, yet he acted as if it were a burden!


    "Very well, those who have passed the test may now proceed to the assessment," Stone Yee announced, finally realizing his own lack of composure. He released his grip and cleared his throat, while those who passed the soul arrow test looked excited, knowing that passing the assessment would grant them high status in Snow Storm City.


    Alchemy is a profession that garners respect and privileges everywhere.


    "Ah, so the soul arrow test has finally concluded."


    A cheerful voice echoed from the Thousand Stone Hall hall, followed by a figure in white stepping into the courtyard. As his gaze swept over the area, the smile on his face gradually faded.


    "Blaze Regret..."


    Kartis Van, clad in a long robe, stood quietly at the front of the courtyard, gazing at the somewhat familiar figure. The other person also stared back at him indifferently, with a faint chill permeating the air.


    "So, you''re here."

 Chapter 370 - 370 Alchemist Assessment 5

    After a moment of silence, Kartis Van spoke with a light smile, his tone akin to a conversation between old friends. However, anyone could detect the subtle sharpness embedded within.


    "Where I am is none of your business," Blaze Regret replied, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of confrontation.


    Observing the two as if in a standoff, Zang Dee furrowed her brows slightly. A moment later, as if she suddenly realized something, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Blaze Regret.


    Could this person be his descendant?


    With that thought, Zang Dee''s rosy lips parted slightly in shock, her heart churning tumultuously.


    In their generation, few were unaware of Flame Emperor''s deeds, and countless young people regarded that legendary figure as their lifelong goal. Zang Dee was among them.


    "Sizzle~"


    With one hand behind his back, Kartis Van slowly raised his right hand, dazzling electric arcs rapidly coursing over it. A broad smile gradually appeared on his face. "To be honest, I didn''t really want you to participate in the Kartis family trial this month because being compared to you is hardly something to be pleased about."


    "Is that so."


    The smile at the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth grew more pronounced. Then, he slowly opened his palm, a jade like luster covering his entire hand. "Although I would love to beat you up in front of Kartis Sham, if we can settle this now, I wouldn''t oppose it."


    Blaze Regret''s voice, laced with amusement, resonated throughout the courtyard, causing everyone''s expressions to change suddenly. The name Kartis Sham was famous, and now a young man merely at the spirit Imperial master stage dared to call him an old fool in public?


    "It seems things are getting interesting," Zang Dee took a step back, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest. Clearly, she was eager to witness firsthand who was stronger between Blaze Regret and Kartis Van.


    "Hmph!"


    Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a low, cold snort abruptly dissipated the murderous air. The attacks gathering in Blaze Regret and Kartis Van''s palms vanished simultaneously under the cold snort.


    "Are you here to take the alchemist assessment or to fight?"


    Stone Yee flicked his sleeve, and a powerful aura of pressure suddenly spread out, causing everyone''s expressions to change. No one had expected that Stone Yee not only excelled in alchemy but also possessed formidable strength!


    "A ninth tier Spirit Lord Master..."


    Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Stone Yee, Blaze Regret murmured softly, tinged with a hint of surprise. It was no wonder that the Angsana Pavilion was regarded as a top tier force in Snow Storm City. Even just an elder from one of its branches possessed strength comparable to that of Mut Kui!


    Lowering his hand slowly, Kartis Van seemed quite familiar with Stone Yee''s capabilities and did not appear particularly surprised. He looked at Blaze Regret''s face and smiled slightly, "Since Master Stone Yee has spoken, I have no choice but to back down. Congratulations, your little life is temporarily spared."


    Facing Kartis Van''s mocking tone, Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, "I''ll return those words to you."


    "You may now proceed to the designated room to begin your pill refinement."


    Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Stone Yee felt a headache coming on. His voice carried a tinge of suppressed anger, though this anger was mainly directed at Kartis Van. After all, not long ago, he had worked hard to recruit Blaze Regret, and the Kartis family was ultimately the arch enemy of the Angsana Pavilion.


    "Are you also an alchemist?"


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Van seemed to have discovered a new world. With a smile, he said, "Then I can only wish you success here. If you''re a little lucky, you might just barely become a first grade alchemist. In a few years, you might have a chance to catch up to where I am now."


    After speaking, Kartis Van laughed heartily and turned to enter the Thousand Stone Hall Hall. kartis Siti, who was behind him, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Kartis Van''s figure had already disappeared from view.

    "Petty people become arrogant when they succeed."


    Stone Yee coldly snorted in his heart. Although they had a significant presence in Snow Storm City, they were ultimately people of the Angsana Pavilion. Even if they didn''t express it openly, they couldn''t help feeling some disdain towards the Kartis family.


    "Let''s head over as well."


    Upon learning Blaze Regret''s identity, Zang Dee''s tone became noticeably more composed, and her expression as she looked at Blaze Regret was one of complexity.


    "Zang Dee, I''m not quite used to you speaking like this," Blaze Regret said with a smile and a shrug. He never considered his identity to be anything special, except for the fact that it tended to attract trouble.


    "Hmph, I was just a little surprised," Zang Dee retorted, regaining her usual proud demeanor, her lips curving slightly in a way that combined hidden charm with cuteness.


    Turning with a smile, Blaze Regret followed the crowd into the hall, with Zang Dee trailing behind, a bit frustrated. She realized she preferred seeing the boy flustered and shy under her teasing.


    "You just wait and see!" she huffed, shaking a small fist at Blaze Regret''s retreating back.


    The location for the alchemist assessment was in individual rooms. Blaze Regret looked up at a room marked with a two star emblem, then walked in with a calm expression.


    In contrast, the other alchemists'' faces showed varying degrees of nervousness. Passing this test would mean a significant change in their status in Snow Storm City, while failure would mean waiting another year.


    As he watched the doorway ripple with magical formations following Blaze Regret''s entry, Stone Yee''s old eyes narrowed slightly. Who would have thought that the central figure of the recent upheavals in Snow Storm City would be right here at his Thousand Stone Hall?

 Chapter 371 - 371 Alchemist Assessment 6

    "Your name is Blaze Regret, right? No wonder you bear a bit of Flame Emperor''s features. I wonder if Snow Storm City will ever be as peaceful as it once was," Stone Yee sighed softly as he sat in his chair.


    "But no matter who you are, as long as you have become the honorary elder of the Angsana Pavilion, we, the old bones of Thousand Stone Hall, will do our utmost to protect you. However, those old fellows led by Dark Yun from the Black Dark Society could be troublesome."


    As Stone Yee sighed, he did not notice a refined middle aged man appearing in the hallway on the second floor of the hall. Despite his age, he looked as vibrant as a young man full of energy.


    The man gazed intently at the room where Blaze Regret was, then his figure gradually faded away, disappearing completely as if he had never been there at all.


    As Blaze Regret stepped into the secluded room, his eyes carried a sense of curiosity, slowly sweeping across the surroundings. On the walls around him were numerous hidden compartments, each marked with the names of various medicinal pills.


    He walked slowly to the front of one of the compartments, focusing his gaze. Instantly, the compartment seemed to turn transparent, and the outlines of several medicinal ingredients appeared before his eyes.


    "Impressive."


    With his palm resting on the compartment, feeling its solid texture, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but express his admiration. The methods employed by the organization under the Angsana Pavilion were truly extraordinary.


    "First grade pill Bone Jade Pill, second grade pill Spirit Ascension Pill..."


    As his eyes scanned the room, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually turned to one of awe. The room contained the formulas and refining materials for at least dozens of pills. For an ordinary second grade alchemist, possessing a few pill formulas was already extremely challenging, yet the Thousand Stone Hall casually revealed such deep reserves, showcasing an unimaginable depth of resources.


    "Buzz!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was about to casually refine a third grade pill, the space above the pill cauldron in the center of the room suddenly distorted. Moments later, it transformed into an azure screen of light, displaying several lines of clear text.


    "It turns out that becoming a first grade alchemist grants a reward, and a second grade alchemist another, and so on. If one can become a fourth grade alchemist, they can select any four items."


    "Swipe!"


    After Blaze Regret finished reading those lines of text, the azure light screen suddenly extended downward, revealing a dazzling list of rewards that appeared before Blaze Regret''s eyes, stunning him visually.


    "Hiss!"


    As his gaze continued to wander, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but take a sharp breath. His dark, night like eyes rarely showed a hint of greed. This was essentially a treasure trove. If he could take everything, establishing a mid sized power would not be an impossible task.


    "The rewards for first and second grade alchemists don''t concern me much, but anything beyond that becomes quite formidable, especially the rewards for a fourth grade alchemist..."


    As Blaze Regret spoke, his gaze suddenly froze on a corner of the fourth grade alchemist''s rewards, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.


    Royal Blood Herb, a fourth grade spiritual herb, possesses remarkable regenerative abilities. When refined by spirit beasts below the King level, it can heal all injuries in a matter of moments.


    Blaze Regret was not particularly interested in this peculiar effect. What shocked him was that this Royal Blood Herb was one of the crucial ingredients for refining the fourth grade Heart Pill!


    The fourth grade Heart Pill could allow him to open another spiritual portal at a certain stage of the spirit master, even though the probability was small. Yet, if he could gather enough fourth grade Heart Pills, success would eventually be within reach one day!


    With eyes burning with excitement, Blaze Regret licked his lips and fixed his gaze on a particular hidden compartment. It seemed like attempting the challenge of becoming a fourth grade alchemist could be quite an intriguing endeavor. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    White Rainbow Pill, a fourth grade pill, offers a certain chance for low level lord grade spirit beasts to break through to mid level.


    Although the White Rainbow Pill is considered the easiest to refine among fourth grade pills, it remains a fourth grade pill. This level of difficulty is no small feat for the current Blaze Regret.


    "Then it''s decided."


    With a slight curl of his lips, Blaze Regret extended his hand, reaching directly through the solid hidden compartment. When he opened his palm again, three different spiritual herbs and a pill formula lay quietly in his grasp.


    Meanwhile, outside the room.


    Reclining comfortably on a chair with eyes slightly closed, Master Stone''s old face exuded contentment. Upon hearing the joyful exclamation from one of the rooms, a faint smile appeared on his lips.


    It seemed that some fortunate fellow had succeeded.


    "Master Stone, Master Stone!"


    An elderly man with white hair burst out of the room, ecstatic. In his trembling hand, he held a purplish red pill, his voice filled with uncontainable excitement: "Master Stone, I finally succeeded!"


    "Oh?"


    Slowly raising his eyelids, Stone smiled, "Sun Tan, this is your thirty sixth time taking the assessment, isn''t it? Now, you can finally earn the qualification of a first grade alchemist."


    As he spoke, Stone lightly brushed his hand, and a one star emblem appeared on Sun Tan''s chest. Gazing at the brilliant star, Sun Tan was so thrilled he nearly fainted.


    Strictly speaking, his talent for alchemy was even worse than that of an average person. Becoming a first grade alchemist was entirely due to his relentless perseverance. He spent every coin he had on purchasing alchemy materials.


    "I hope you will never forget that your success today is partly due to the contributions of the Angsana Pavilion and the Thousand Stone Hall," Stone said gently, looking at the elated Sun Tan.

 Chapter 372 - 372 Alchemist Assessment 7

    "Sun Tan understands. In the future, I will never oppose the Angsana Pavilion or any of its affiliated forces. Moreover, if needed, I''m willing to go through fire and water without hesitation," Sun Tan replied, calming himself and bowing solemnly. Other organizations would never be so kind as to waste thirty six sets of alchemy materials on a complete stranger.


    "Go on."


    Seeing Sun Tan''s declaration, Stone nodded with satisfaction. This was almost an oath that every alchemist who left this place had to make.


    Because of this, the network of the Angsana Pavilion in Snow Storm City was astonishingly strong. If even a tenth of the alchemists were willing to respond in times of crisis, the amassed power would be enough to intimidate any first rate force.


    As Sun Tan left the Thousand Stone Association with a face full of joy, people from all the one star rooms began to emerge, some excited, some dejected. It was clear that only a small portion succeeded in earning the alchemist qualification on their first attempt.


    "Wow!"


    The formations of two rooms rippled simultaneously, and a fiery, enchanting figure and a cold, white robed figure slowly approached. Though their expressions appeared calm, they both wore subtle smiles of delight.


    "Oh? I didn''t expect both of you to achieve the qualification of a third grade alchemist," Master Stone remarked, a hint of astonishment crossing his wrinkled face. Truly, youth heroes rise quickly. Zang Dee and Kartis Van are not very old, and although the probability of a third grade alchemist advancing to fourth grade is quite small, without any unforeseen events, these two will likely surpass his current level in the future.


    "What about Blaze Regret? Did he fail?" Kartis Van glanced at the three star emblem on his chest, visibly pleased. However, when he scanned the room and didn''t see the figure he expected, a trace of contempt curled at the corner of his mouth. Competing with someone like that really diminishes my value, he thought.


    "He''s not out yet," Master Stone replied indifferently.


    "Oh?"


    Kartis Van chuckled mockingly, "Taking so long just to refine a first grade pill? It seems he''s completely a novice, just as I anticipated."


    Zang Dee maintained a neutral expression, but inwardly she shook her head. Let''s see if you can still laugh later.


    "Bang!"


    A loud explosion like sound suddenly emanated from Blaze Regret''s room, causing the formation sealing the room to ripple rapidly.


    "Did the cauldron explode?"


    Kartis Van looked at the white smoke billowing out and spread his hands in feigned surprise, laughing, "Well, that was unexpected, indeed."


    Thick white smoke billowed out from the room where Blaze Regret was, slowly spreading throughout the hall. The loud noise caused those who were about to leave to stop in astonishment.


    "Did the cauldron explode?"


    Kartis Pian, who had been a bit apprehensive, saw a few fragments splattering out from the room and instantly wore a look of great joy. Having a strong soul doesn''t necessarily mean one is skilled in alchemy; otherwise, alchemists would be as common as street vendors in the empire.


    "I thought he was so formidable, but it turns out he''s just a facade." Kartis Pian glanced gleefully at Stone Yee. "Old man, you must be senile to want to take someone like him as a disciple. If word gets out, it would probably become the laughingstock of the entire Snow Storm City."


    "Who would have thought that even refining a simple pill could result in such an accident as the cauldron exploding? Truly, the offspring of powerful figures are different from ordinary people," Kartis Van remarked with a sarcastic tone, a slight smirk on his lips.


    "Cough, cough!"


    Just as Kartis Van finished speaking, a disheveled figure covered in dust emerged, covering his mouth as he ran out. His hair was even messier than a bird''s nest, and the Red on his shoulder pouted in grievance. Its beautiful light yellow fur was slightly curled on both sides, charred black, looking particularly pitiful.


    Remembering how it was frightened out of its wits by the loud noise, Red tugged fiercely at Blaze Regret''s hair.


    It was only because it was Blaze Regret; if it had been anyone else disturbing its sleep, it would have likely clawed their throat open by now.


    "It hurts..."


    Grimacing, Blaze Regret dashed to a corner where the white smoke was thinner, panting heavily. The violent energy from the exploded cauldron of a Grade Four pill was terrifyingly strong, so much so that even he couldn''t completely withstand it.


    Seeing the blood on the back of his hand, Blaze Regret gave a wry smile. He hadn''t expected his first attempt at refining a Grade Four pill to end like this.


    "Young friend, did you succeed in refining it?"


    Stone Yee slowly rose from his seat, placing one hand behind his back, and asked with a smile. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At the stage of being a Grade Four Alchemist, one could roughly infer the materials used in the pill based on the scent in the air. The current air still carried traces of stone pine, evil mist moss, and ice cap grass, making it easy to deduce that the pill Blaze Regret had attempted to refine was undoubtedly the White Rainbow Pill.


    Thinking of this, Stone Yee sighed inwardly. He thought he had already regarded this young man highly, but it seemed he had still underestimated him.


    "Is there even a need to think? He obviously failed," Kartis Van said with a slight smirk, casting a faint smile at Blaze Regret. "In this empire, countless people aspire to become alchemists every day, and you are probably just one of them. However, the gap between people is often insurmountable. Sometimes, giving up on these unreachable fantasies early on isn''t necessarily a bad thing."


    Kartis Van''s seemingly earnest voice carried a strong note of condescension, clear to anyone that he was speaking to Blaze Regret from a position of superiority.


    "Heh," Kartis Pian stood in the distance, unable to hide the mocking expression on her face.

 Chapter 373 - 373 Alchemist Assessment 8

    "Young friend, aren''t you going to open your hand?" Stone Yee, seemingly unaffected by Kartis Van''s ridicule, continued smiling at Blaze Regret.


    "Alas, this is all I could achieve on my first attempt at refining such a pill," Blaze Regret sighed helplessly, opening his palm to reveal a misshapen pill lying in his hand. It was covered in small, uneven bumps, looking very much like a failure.


    "Can that even be called a pill?" Kartis Van reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke, an unmistakable disdain spreading across his face as he mercilessly mocked.


    "The refinement of a Grade Four pill is indeed extremely difficult. To achieve this is already incredibly challenging. Back then, I too wasted over a hundred sets of materials to barely reach this level," Stone Yee said with a tinge of admiration, sighing lightly.


    If he hadn''t seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard for him to believe that Blaze Regret, on his first attempt at refining a Grade Four pill, could actually succeed in forming a pill. Although it was not perfect, it was undeniably a genuine Grade Four pill.


    "Yes, with your talent, achieving this is already quite remarkable..."


    Kartis Van was just about to continue undermining Blaze Regret''s self esteem when his mocking expression suddenly froze. He then slowly looked at the pill in Blaze Regret''s hand, exclaiming in shock, "This is a Grade Four pill? Impossible!"


    He was reluctant to believe it, and he dared not accept it. Since his childhood, the Kartis family had retained a Grade Four alchemist at a high cost to personally teach him alchemy, which was why he could achieve such accomplishments at his age.


    But Blaze Regret was merely someone from a small place, without any renowned alchemists or abundant cultivation resources. How could he possibly become a Grade Four alchemist?


    "A Grade Four pill, this must be fake, it has to be fake..." Kartis Pian felt dizzy, as everyone knew what it meant to be a Grade Four alchemist at such a young age.


    If nothing unexpected happened, Blaze Regret could even surpass Mut Zen, the empire''s leading figure in alchemy, in the future!


    It''s worth noting that even a genius like Mut Zen was only a newly minted Grade Three alchemist at Blaze Regret''s age. Of course, the cultivation resources back then were far inferior to what they are now.


    "Some things, I suppose, need not be said any further."


    Stone Yee gave Blaze Regret a deep look, then waved his hand, causing a badge engraved with four golden stars to appear on Blaze Regret''s chest.


    Such pledges typically only bind freelance alchemists and hold no sway over individuals like Kartis Van. As Blaze Regret is the son froend of the ancient head of Angsana Pavilion, it''s unlikely he would pose a threat to them in the future.


    As he looked at the four star badge on Blaze Regret''s chest, Kartis Van''s face turned extremely sour. Although he was now a Grade Three alchemist, the path of alchemy becomes increasingly difficult. With his aptitude, breaking through to become a Grade Four alchemist would take at least another ten years.


    Zang Dee, although shaken, did not lose her composure like Kartis Van. Having witnessed Blaze Regret''s extraordinary soul power, she had already anticipated this outcome to some extent.


    Of course, seeing it with her own eyes still left her deeply astonished.


    "Master Stone Yee, can I receive the reward now?" Blaze Regret asked Stone Yee with a bashful smile.


    Even though they were both Grade Four alchemists, there were still varying levels of strength. Stone Yee''s alchemical skills were clearly at the pinnacle of the fourth tier, while Blaze Regret, being a somewhat inexperienced Grade Four alchemist, was still not quite at that level.


    Thus, he never felt complacent just because he wore the same badge as Stone Yee.


    "There''s no rush for that. Kartis Van, Zang Dee, take your rewards and proceed ahead. Blaze Regret and I have some matters to discuss," Stone Yee said, turning his head slightly, with a calm demeanor. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Honestly, can''t you have a better attitude?" Zang Dee grumbled, puffing with annoyance as she accepted a bright red fruit.


    "If my attitude were any better, you''d just take advantage of it, wouldn''t you? Three years ago, just because I talked to you a little more, I ended up losing quite a lot of spiritual herbs to you," Stone Yee retorted with a good natured scolding, stroking his graying beard.


    "Hmph," Zang Dee huffed, lifting her nose in a proud gesture, which left Stone Yee both exasperated and amused. She then glanced at Blaze Regret with a hint of deeper meaning before turning to leave.


    "A month from now, it''s time for the Kartis family trial, isn''t it?"


    As Kartis Van passed by Blaze Regret, he paused slightly, a faint trace of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth. "Don''t say I didn''t warn you; be extra careful then. You wouldn''t want to accidentally get killed by me."


    Kartis Van gave Blaze Regret a look filled with feigned sympathy, then laughed heartily as he swaggered out of the Thousand Stone Hall.


    "That line should have been mine to say," Blaze Regret remarked, watching Kartis Van''s retreating figure with slight resignation. However, the sharp determination in his eyes was unmistakably clear.


    In the hall, Stone Yee listened to the murmurs coming from Blaze Regret''s throat and a flicker of surprise crossed his aged eyes. He was well aware of the upcoming Kartis family trial, and even knew secrets that Blaze Regret was unaware of. If Blaze Regret were to lose to Kartis Van, it wouldn''t just be Blaze Ash''s face that would be lost.


    "Master Stone Yee, you didn''t keep me here just to watch you daydream, did you?" Seeing Stone Yee lost in thought, Blaze Regret raised his eyebrows helplessly. He was eager to obtain the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill and then purchase the materials needed for alchemy.

 Chapter 374 - 374 Alchemist Assessment Final

    The Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, though powerful, was ultimately of too low a grade and was gradually falling behind his pace. Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, the Ethereal Lotus must not be exposed. This place was full of mixed individuals, and there was bound to be someone who could recognize a mysterious beast. At that time, it might trigger another large scale hunt.


    He had never doubted the attraction mysterious beasts held for powerful individuals.


    Therefore, his current focus was entirely on enhancing the capabilities of the remaining three spirit beasts.


    "If I''m not mistaken, you should have another spirit beast with the rock attribute, right?" Stone Yee suddenly smiled as he gazed into Blaze Regret''s dark eyes.


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed, and he slowly nodded. The remaining spirit portals would eventually be revealed, and hiding them from Stone Yee had no benefits and might even provoke his displeasure.


    "A dual source spirit Master, huh."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s admission, Stone Yee couldn''t help but gasp. The young man before him was probably the only dual source spirit master in the entire empire besides Monarch Seng Techan.


    Although the advantages of a dual source spirit master were not significant at lower levels of power, once they broke through to the Kong Realms stage, a stage where each level could take years to achieve, the true terror of a dual source spirit master would gradually become apparent.


    "Elder Stone Yee, about the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill..."


    Seeing Stone Yee change the subject again, Blaze Regret had no choice but to repeat his request. This was only after revealing his identity as a dual source spirit master. If Stone Yee knew he was currently a four source spirit master, he would probably be even more astounded.


    However, since Stone Yee didn''t ask, Blaze Regret didn''t volunteer the information. After all, he had answered the question, so it couldn''t be considered deceitful.


    "Ah yes, yes, oh, getting old, I tend to ask irrelevant questions."


    Upon being reminded by Blaze Regret, Stone Yee couldn''t help but blush slightly. With his wrinkled hand just about to touch the Void realms Stone, a glint suddenly appeared in his eyes. "Young friend, I do have the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill, but I also have two finished pills."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s spirits lifted immediately. He was more than happy to save the time required to purchase materials, as the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill held only the value of a single pill to him. However, noticing the cunning glint in Stone Yee''s cloudy old eyes, he became cautious and did not rush to respond. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What a cautious little fellow," Stone Yee muttered to himself. A smile then spread across his aged face: "I do have the pills, but this doesn''t quite align with the assessment''s rules. Besides, the method to refine the Rock Cast Pill is known only to me in the entire Snow Storm City."


    Silently cursing the old fox, Blaze Regret replied in a wary tone, "Master Stone Yee, just tell me directly what you want me to do. If it''s within my capabilities, I''m willing to help."


    "That''s all I need to hear." Stone Yee opened his palm, revealing two round, silvery pills lying quietly in his hand. He then looked up at Blaze Regret with a smile, "It''s nothing major. I just want to put your honorary elder title under the Thousand Stone Hall''s name, allowing you to enjoy the cultivation resources there. How does that sound?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. He contemplated the smiling Stone Yee for a moment before speaking slowly, "Master Stone Yee, while I appreciate the conveniences provided by the Angsana Pavilion and the Thousand Stone Hall, I don''t wish to get involved in their power struggles."


    When the words "Thousand Stone Hall" were mentioned, Blaze Regret made a decision. Even if it meant foregoing the recipe for the Rock Cast Pill, he would not invite unnecessary trouble. Although he was already dealing with many issues, avoiding additional complications was preferable.


    "The president of the Thousand Stone Hall is Gen Yun."


    Anticipating Blaze Regret''s reaction, Stone Yee remained unhurried, his smile unwavering as he kept his gaze on Blaze Regret. However, the mention of that name caused Blaze Regret''s expression to change rapidly.


    "Gen Yun..."


    Hearing this name, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes narrowed, a trace of coldness flashing from deep within them.


    Observing Blaze Regret''s reaction, Stone Yee tucked his hands into his sleeves, his smile undiminished.


    "If I had known, I would not have gone directly to the Thousand Stone Hall for the assessment."


    Blaze Regret''s expression turned icy as his mouth curled slightly. Years ago, if it hadn''t been for this person tipping off the Kartis family, his father wouldn''t have ended up in such a dire situation. He might have escaped the siege and regained his peak strength long ago.


    Although Blaze Regret didn''t know the full extent of Blaze Ash''s ultimate power, he didn''t care about that. He only knew that this was his father, the father who, when no one was around, set aside his dignity as the head of the family to sneak into the treasury and steal six bottles of Spirit Condensation Elixir for him.


    "Fine, let the honorary elder title be under the Thousand Stone Hall. And by the way, let Gen Yun know that my name is Blaze Regret."


    As the coldness in the young man''s voice spread, the smile on Stone Yee''s old face intensified. Such a temperament, truly exceptional, no wonder he is the descendant of that person.


    "This is the elder token of the Thousand Stone Hall. After the Kartis family trial, you can go and register," Stone Yee said with a smile.


    Taking the token from Stone Yee''s hand, Blaze Regret traced the intricate patterns on it, a slight smile forming at the corners of his mouth. Let the grudges of more than a decade ago begin to be resolved with you.

 Chapter 375 - 375 Prepare

    "Elder Stone Yee, there''s something I don''t understand. Since Master Mut knows about the events of those years, why does he let Gen Yun live freely?" Blaze Regret asked, frowning.


    "You must understand that there are some things others can do, but Master Mut absolutely cannot, even if it would be much easier for him to do so," Stone Yee sighed in explanation.


    Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. It seemed that even an elite force like the Angsana Pavilion had its own deep seated complexities. However, he wasn''t concerned with these intricacies. The only thing that mattered to him was ensuring that Gen Yun paid a hundredfold price.


    After accepting the remaining rewards, including the enticing Royal Blood Grass, Blaze Regret slowly walked out of the Thousand Stone Hall. He looked up at the gentle sunlight and lazily stretched.


    He would find a place to prepare for another month, and then it would be time to head to the Kartis family and put on a public show of strength.


    The crimson glow of the setting sun, filtered through the dancing snowflakes, painted the mountains with a warm hue. In the tiny crevices of the rocks, small purple red berries grew, their vibrant colors appearing extremely enticing. These berries served as food for most of the spiritual beasts in the winter forest.


    Seated cross legged on a smooth rock, Blaze Regret had his eyes slightly closed, with steady breaths emanating from him. Inside his body, a crystal core was connected to four differently colored threads of light. Spiritual energy was slowly transmitted through these four threads.


    Like all towns, Snow Storm City also had mountains and forests of varying sizes. However, the southern wall of this ancient city was entirely made up of a long, dragon like mountain range. Such audacity was truly astonishing, especially knowing that not far from the mountain''s base lay the area where spiritual masters resided.


    "Whoo~"


    Slowly opening his eyelids, Blaze Regret exhaled a long breath of cold air, then stood up and gazed towards the edge of the mountains. There, at regular intervals, stood soldiers on guard. Even the weakest of these soldiers possessed the strength of a first tier spirit Imperial master.


    "The power of the royal family is indeed terrifying. Using spirit Imperial masters to guard the mountains, it''s no wonder even top tier forces must adhere to their rules."


    Glancing at those tiny black dots, Blaze Regret, with Red perched on his shoulder, quickly headed deeper into the mountains. It had taken him three days to travel from Thousand Stone Hall to this place, a testament to the vastness of Snow Storm City.


    "Swoosh!"


    As Blaze Regret swiftly moved forward, a fiery red molten ape, with bloodthirsty eyes, leaped down from a giant tree. Its sharp claws, trailing three fiery red streaks, fiercely targeted Blaze Regret''s head.


    However, just as the molten ape descended mid air, a silvery white figure suddenly dashed over with earth shaking steps. With a tightly clenched fist, infused with formidable strength, it smashed the molten ape in mid air.


    "Boom!"


    Instantly, a shower of blood sprayed, and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, indifferent, retracted its fist and quickly followed Blaze Regret''s silhouette. Those spiritual beasts lurking in the dark all lowered their heads, not daring to entertain any thoughts.


    Glancing back at the waves emanating from the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Blaze Regret contentedly withdrew his gaze. The effect of the Rock Cast Pill was indeed strong; presumably, in less than twenty days, the energy contained within would be fully absorbed by the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, allowing it to break through into an even more powerful lord level spiritual beast.


    Such a scene continued to unfold in various parts of the mountains for a long time. As the spiritual energy flowed rapidly, the aura of the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros gradually intensified, putting Blaze Regret''s mind completely at ease.


    "However, the troublesome one is still you, little fellow."


    Blaze Regret looked down at the one fiery tails behind Red, which were formed by condensed spiritual energy, feeling somewhat at a loss.


    The destructive power of the Four Tailed Spear was indeed formidable. With Red''s current strength, it could barely injure even some first tier lord grade spiritual beasts. However, those one tails were ultimately not part of its physical body, so wielding them was not as intuitive as the central pale yellow tail.


    "The spiritual skill of the Four Tailed Red Flame Cat isn''t that easy to master," mused Master Magi, hovering in mid air as he looked playfully at Red, who wore a frustrated expression below.


    "Master Magi, if you have any good suggestions, don''t keep them to yourself," Blaze Regret said, rubbing his forehead in exasperation. The hard ancient tree beside him was covered with small pits, all pierced by Red''s Four Tailed Spear. The awkward part was that the sizes of these pits were entirely inconsistent, indicating Red''s inexperience with using its Four tails effectively.


    "The power of the Four Tailed Red Flame Cat is not something a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat can easily harness," Master Magi remarked. Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s expression turned even more dejected. He knew well that the bloodline of the Four Tailed Red Flame Cat far surpassed that of the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, so this outcome was unsurprising to him.

    "However, using just the Four Tailed Spear skill isn''t particularly difficult," Master Magi added with a faint smile as he opened his palm. A swarm of black spirit bats flew out, darkening the sky above Blaze Regret''s head as they hovered, making even the daylight seem to dim.


    "Go!" Master Magi commanded with a flick of his hand. Three small white bats, each just the size of a fingernail, flitted their delicate wings and quickly vanished into the swarm of black bats. Their presence was like fleeting starlight in the night, barely discernible.

 Chapter 376 - 376

    "The reason the Four Tailed Spear cannot be successfully executed boils down to your Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat attempting to control Four tails at once for the first time, unable to concentrate effectively. If it were just Three tail, it wouldn''t be so challenging. But for its current self, and its future self, it will have to face this challenge eventually," Master Magi remarked, casting his gaze over Red.


    "Roar!" Red let out a defiant growl, its eyes filled with a fighting spirit as it fixed its gaze on the three white spots amidst the black bat swarm. With a determined step forward, the tails behind it extended rapidly, slicing through the air with fierce precision, targeting those three white points with unyielding ferocity.


    "Whoosh!"


    However, Red''s fierce strike failed to hit even a single white bat, making its gaze grow increasingly fierce.


    Time flows like water, always slipping away quietly when one least expects it.


    In the ensuing period, Blaze Regret, along with Red and the Rock Horn Dragon Rhinoceros, stayed in the desolate mountains, quietly cultivating as if the noise of the outside world had nothing to do with him.


    Meanwhile, the area around the Kartis Family began to bustle with activity as time progressed.


    Young individuals from all directions rushed in, settling in the nearby inns. Their eyes, filled with intense excitement and a fighting spirit, were fixed on the imposing and ancient mansion. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    If they could stand out in the upcoming trials in a few days, their futures would undergo earth shattering changes.


    Compared to the surface level noise, in the shadows, figures rarely seen in Snow Storm City began to emerge, causing even some top tier forces within the ancient city to be on high alert.


    "I heard that the descendants of the Flame Emperor will also attend this Kartis Family trial."


    "Yes, and it seems that the Flame Emperor himself appeared in Snow Storm City not too long ago, though that item isn''t with him."


    "The dazzling star that fell from the sky is indeed quite extraordinary. It''s rumored that the Flame Emperor''s rapid progress is linked to a necklace formed from those stars."


    "Heh, the Kartis Family is quite foolish. They sent someone to Velorian City to search for it. If they could find it, I''d be shocked. I don''t believe that over the years, the Flame Emperor hasn''t taken special measures to alter the necklace''s form."


    In the darkness, several figures fell silent for a moment before a hoarse voice spoke.


    "If that item truly is with that kid named Blaze Regret, it could be quite troublesome."


    "So, after the Kartis Family trial, find an opportunity to kill him."


    "Agreed."


    The Kartis Family, spoken of as a vast and powerful clan, is considered among the top tier forces within the entire empire. Apart from Kartis Sham, who is known as a seventh rank King Realms, it is rumored that several elders also possess King Realm abilities, though their identities remain extremely secretive, generally unknown to outsiders.


    Naturally, the Kartis Family''s sphere of influence is also exceedingly extensive. Looking down from the sky, one can see a vast ring shaped area surrounded by densely packed buildings, all of which are territories of the Kartis Family.


    Towering city walls, standing several dozen meters tall, and the omnipresent Kartis Family guards all signify the majesty and dominance of this colossal entity. Even some powerful King realms experts must consciously lower their voices and humble themselves when passing through, to avoid provoking this mighty family.


    At this moment, in the very center of the Kartis Family''s domain, stands a massive circular mirror, nearly a hundred meters in diameter. The mirror''s surface is as smooth as water, and under the sunlight, it shimmers with a clear luster. The eager gazes of all the young people around are fixed on this huge circular mirror.


    This object is the medium to open the ancient land of the Kartis Family. Soon, they will enter this place to compete for opportunities with their strength. Whether they can earn the favor of the Kartis Family depends entirely on this chance.


    Besides these young participants, the surrounding audience is also packed, a sea of dark figures nearly merging into one. Many among them are emanating a vast aura.


    "Kartis Van, have you remembered everything I instructed you?"


    In the most prominent position among the audience sits a middle aged man with a stern face. He looks at the bustling crowd below, his fingers interlocked, and speaks slowly.


    This man is none other than the head of the Kartis Family, Kartis Sham.


    "Father, don''t worry. He''s just a despicable person from a small place. If he crosses paths with me, it''s his bad luck," Kartis Van said with a proud smile.


    "Let''s hope so," Kartis Sham replied indifferently. He then raised his right hand and gently traced the scar at the corner of his eye. Upon seeing this action, the elders of the Kartis Family instinctively averted their gaze.


    This scar is Kartis Sham''s taboo. Once, a guest of the Kartis Family, feeling familiar with Kartis Sham, inadvertently joked about the scar. Kartis Sham instantly flew into a rage, grabbed the guest by his robe, soared into the sky, and then hurled him down hard, turning him into a pile of flesh.


    Since then, facing this scar, everyone has fallen silent.


    "Blaze Ash, you were truly ruthless back then."


    Muttering softly to himself, Kartis Sham''s finger slowly traced along the scar''s path, moving until it reached the center of his scalp, where it finally stopped. In his deep eyes, a cold light flashed.


    He would never forget that day when Blaze Ash dragged him by the hair from the gates of Snow City all the way to the Kartis Family''s premises. This humiliation, whenever it came to mind, caused his hands to tremble uncontrollably, despite being a seventh rank King Realms expert.

 Chapter 377 - 377 Arrived

    "Blaze Ash, over the years, I''ve had countless ways to eliminate you, but that would be too easy for you. I want to destroy everything you care about, piece by piece, and then, at your most desperate and painful moment, I will do to you what you did to me, right in front of all the powerful figures of Snow Storm City," Kartis Sham said with a calm face, but the sinister coldness at the corners of his mouth betrayed his intentions.


    Unlike the Kartis Family members, most of the audience was unaware of the secrets of the past, so whispers of excitement and curiosity rose from all directions.


    "I heard that the descendant of the Flame Emperor will also participate in this assessment. I wonder if it''s true."


    "Of course, it''s true. News from the Kartis Family doesn''t lie. However, I''m curious to know who is stronger between him and Kartis Van."


    "I''m betting on Kartis Van. The Flame Emperor might be strong, but what of it? His descendant might turn out to be a failure. Moreover, it seems that person grew up in a remote small town, lacking the training resources and other advantages that Kartis Van has."


    Unaware of the lively scene at the Kartis Family, Blaze Regret knew nothing about it, as he had not yet stepped through the Kartis Family gates.


    "So you say your name is Blaze Regret?"


    In front of the tightly closed Kartis Family gates, a young man with his arms crossed looked at the person before him with interest. His gaze particularly lingered on the small, pet like Red, and a strong expression of disdain appeared on his face.


    This young man was named Kartis Amir. He usually was quite close with Kartis Van, who had told him a few days ago to find a way to harass Blaze Regret today.


    And Kartis Amir clearly remembered this point well.


    "If there''s nothing else, you can step aside," Blaze Regret said, unmoved, his voice still incredibly indifferent.


    "You''ve got personality, I like that."


    Kartis Amir smiled faintly, his expression tinged with a bit of mockery. "The gates of the Kartis Family aren''t so easy to enter. First, do you have an invitation for this trial?"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned. The Kartis Family''s invitation had just been delivered to him, but he had crushed it in his hand without a second thought. He hadn''t expected Kartis Amir to use this against him.


    "No invitation, huh? That makes things a bit tricky."


    The smile on Kartis Amir''s face grew even more pronounced. "If you can''t get through the Kartis Family''s gate and miss the trial, will people think I kept you out, or will they more likely assume you lacked the courage to compete with the Kartis Family''s prodigies and fled without a fight? I think it would probably be the latter."


    Hearing these words, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes narrowed slightly. "What exactly do you want?"


    "It''s simple." S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Kartis Amir snapped his fingers and said with a sly grin, "Knock on the door yourself and shout, ''Uncle Kartis, Nephew Blaze Regret has come to pay respects.'' Perhaps someone will come to open the door for you. Otherwise, you''ll have to step over me."


    Looking at Kartis Van''s smug face, a slight curve suddenly appeared at the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth.


    "Alright."


    Inside the Kartis Family.


    "Father, could it be that the kid named Blaze Regret has seen the majesty of our Kartis Family and doesn''t dare to come in?" Kartis Van rested his chin on his hand, casually glancing at the mirror, which was gradually becoming more vibrant, and spoke with boredom.


    In the audience, there were quite a few who shared his opinion. Among them, some leaders of second rate and third rate forces frowned. They had come not only to show respect to Kartis Sham but also out of a desire to see the young man named Blaze Regret.


    Regarding Blaze Ash, there were those who admired him and those who harbored hidden malice, though none of their thoughts were revealed on their faces.


    "Ha, it seems we won''t be seeing any good drama today."


    In a prominent position, a burly man with a cold sneer on his face let his hand wander freely over the body of a young girl beside him. Despite her trembling, the girl dared not resist at all. This was because the man was none other than Shentu Sha, the lord of Tiger Demon Mountain.


    However, just as his voice faded, the sturdy gates of the Kartis Family suddenly shattered. A disheveled figure flew through the air in a parabolic arc and skidded across the ground for several dozen meters before coming to a slow halt.


    Amidst the flying splinters of wood, a young figure emerged. He walked straight over the fallen Kartis Amir and then let his gaze sweep across the audience, pausing for a moment on the middle aged man beside Kartis Van.


    Then, with a slight smile, his calm voice resonated through the air.


    "Uncle Kartis, your nephew Blaze Regret has come to pay respects."


    Blaze Regret''s voice, laced with a hint of a smile, slowly hovered over the Kartis Family''s residence. The previously noisy atmosphere instantly fell silent, and everyone''s gaze shifted from the damaged gate to Blaze Regret''s delicate face.


    Kartis Amir, who was lying on the ground, looked both angry and sorrowful. He had just casually mentioned it, yet Blaze Regret had truly stepped over him. This place was filled with nearly half of the strong individuals from Snow Storm City. He feared he would no longer have the face to show himself in public.


    "How dare you!"


    The dead silence in the scene lasted for a few breaths of time. Then, an elder from the Kartis Family slammed the armrest of his chair with his hand, stood up angrily, and unleashed the pressure of a fifth tier Spirit Lord Master upon Blaze Regret.


    (If you like this novel please support by gift and power stone)

 Chapter 378 - 378 Begin

    Swept by this pressure, Blaze Regret stood there with a calm expression. Despite appearing to have only the strength of a ninth tier Spirit Imperial Master, even the pressure from a sixth tier Spirit Lord Master could hardly cause him any discomfort.


    After all, the ethereal lotus spirit beast from the Fourth Spirit portal had slain a sixth tier lord level spirit beast, and Blaze Regret, influenced by it, had spiritual power far stronger than before.


    "Kartis Kai, I didn''t expect that after three years, you still couldn''t make me take a step back." Blaze Regret''s eyes, as dark as night, slowly lifted to look at the elder with an angry face. His calm voice flowed from his mouth.


    The Kartis Family elder who first attacked was surprisingly Blaze Regret''s old acquaintance, Kartis Kai.


    "You..."


    Biting his teeth tightly, Kartis Kai glared at Blaze Regret in anger, but inside, he was extremely shocked. Blaze Regret''s growth far exceeded his expectations. As a ninth tier Spirit Imperial Master, he was almost comparable to Kartis Van.


    "So it was you!"


    Behind Kartis Kai, an older man of the eighth tier Spirit Lord Master level suddenly stood up, glaring at Blaze Regret with eyes full of rage and shouted, "You little brat, give me back my grandson''s life!"


    Looking at the elder, Blaze Regret squinted slightly, as if recognizing an old acquaintance.


    In the Hiltan Mountains, he had once seen this person through a virtual image.


    This was Kartis Miller''s grandfather, Kartis Ben.


    As soon as this voice sounded, the entire scene erupted in an uproar. Many people were somewhat familiar with Kartis Ben. His grandson, Kartis Miller, was once a somewhat famous figure among the younger generation in Snow Storm City. However, he had suddenly disappeared without a trace.


    From Kartis Ben''s roar, could it be that the missing Kartis Miller was killed by Blaze Regret?


    Ignoring the two elders, Blaze Regret''s gaze slowly swept over the young people present. Many of them were also staring coldly at him, creating a scene as if a lone sheep had suddenly wandered into a wolf pack.


    Clenching his fist tightly, Kartis Van looked at Kartis Amir, who was lying on the ground, with an incredibly somber expression. He had already vaguely guessed what had just transpired.


    In contrast, Kartis Sham''s face remained calm. However, the slightly trembling corners of his mouth betrayed his suppressed anger.


    In Blaze Regret, he vaguely saw the shadow of Blaze Ash, which caused his murderous intent to surge even more intensely.


    "This young fellow''s style is almost identical to that of Blaze Ash back in the day."


    In a conspicuous spot, a scholarly looking man in white gently waved the paper fan in his hand. Despite his seemingly frail appearance, no one dared to underestimate him.


    This was because the special emblem on his chest revealed his identity.


    The master of Angsana Pavillion, Mut Abu.


    "This is truly outrageous."


    Sitting next to Mut Abu, Stone Yee shook his head with a wry smile. "What if Kartis Sham loses his temper and kills him? After all, the Flame Emperor''s deterrent power has waned significantly nowadays."


    The elder on Mut Abu''s right side remained silent, his eyes fixed on Blaze Regret with a gaze as sharp as a knife, lips pressed tightly together.


    "Gen Yun, are you feeling unwell?" Mut Abu turned to look at the gloom faced Gen Yun and asked with a smile.


    "It''s nothing, just caught a cold, that''s all. Thank you for your concern, Hall Master," Gen Yun replied, his expression changing slightly, accompanied by a dry laugh.


    Upon hearing this explanation, Stone Yee was left speechless. Cultivators, after reaching the level of a Spirit Lord Master, were no longer susceptible to common illnesses. It was clear how flustered Gen Yun was to resort to such an excuse.


    "Good to hear," Mut Abu nodded, maintaining a warm smile, though a subtle sharpness flickered in the depths of his eyes.


    "Hall Master, if Kartis Sham makes a move later, should we..." Stone Yee hesitated, uncertain about what to ask.


    "Don''t worry. Blaze Regret''s actions are merely testing Kartis Sham''s limits. Judging by the current situation, it seems this test has reached its conclusion." Mut Abu''s gaze swept over Kartis Sham, and he spoke softly, "Moreover, his goal is related to something from the past. If I''m not mistaken, that item is likely with Blaze Regret. Even if Kartis Sham wants to act, under the watchful eyes of so many powerful figures, he has to suppress his fiery anger."


    Fixing his gaze on the smiling Blaze Regret, Kartis Sham''s chest rose and fell slightly. After a moment, he waved his hand with a dark expression. "Everyone, sit down. Nephew Blaze is the descendant of my brother Blaze. Are you trying to put me in an unjust position by behaving like this?"


    Hearing this, Kartis Kai and Kartis Ben were momentarily stunned before reluctantly sitting down, though their eyes, filled with murderous intent, remained locked on Blaze Regret.


    "The Kartis Family head truly values relationships. Even when the son of an old friend kills his clansman, he doesn''t hold him accountable. The Flame Emperor indeed made a good brother!"


    Those with lesser strength in the crowd, largely unaware of the full story, quietly admired the scene, murmuring praises. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    However, there were quite a few who were secretly sneering, knowing that this same "good brother" had ruthlessly betrayed the Flame Emperor during his time of crisis.


    Loyalty and honor? Just a joke!


    "Nephew Blaze, please enter," Kartis Sham said from his seat, gazing deeply at Blaze Regret. The coldness in his eyes was sharp enough to prick Blaze Regret''s skin slightly.


    Blaze Regret slowly made his way to the edge of the group of young people, feeling the unfriendly stares around him. He shrugged indifferently and then lifted his gaze to meet Kartis Van''s icy stare, responding with a faint smile.


    (If you like this novel please support by gift and power stone)

 Chapter 379 - 379 Ambush

    The recent test had confirmed Blaze Regret''s earlier suspicions: Kartis Sham was indeed a man concerned with appearances and would not openly tear open the past in front of all these powerful figures.


    Therefore, the real storm would come during the trial.


    "The trial will once again be held in the Kartis Family''s ancient grounds. The ranking will be determined by the number of Thunder Soul Beads each of you acquires. Those who rank in the top three will enjoy the Kartis Family''s abundant cultivation resources, and your families will receive the Kartis Family''s protection."


    Kartis Sham stood up, his resonant voice echoing in everyone''s ears.


    "Activate the Ancient Mirror!"


    With a deep voice, Kartis Sham''s words, wrapped in spiritual energy, spread across a vast area, instantly heightening the tension among all the young people present. Their eyes were fervently fixed on the gigantic mirror surface standing in the center, which was beginning to ripple.


    "Buzz!"


    As the ripples spread, a desolate land gradually emerged from within the mirror, exuding an ancient and vast aura.


    This was the renowned secret realm of the Kartis Family, the Kartis Family''s Ancient Land.


    "Go!"


    The atmosphere was ignited by someone in the crowd, and variously colored spiritual portals swiftly appeared, sketched out of thin air. Immediately, figures resembling a swarm of locusts rushed towards the huge mirror surface with the sound of wind breaking.


    This scene was indeed visually striking.


    A low rumble of thunder came from afar as Kartis Van, riding on the back of a Silver Thunder Wolf, swept past like a dazzling flash of lightning. A faint, mocking voice reached Blaze Regret''s ears.


    "I told you, be careful. Whatever you do, don''t let me end up killing you."


    Narrowing his eyes at Kartis Van''s retreating figure, a cold light flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes. With a forceful step, he propelled himself forward, the air exploding in his wake, swiftly darting towards the mirror surface and disappearing into it in an instant.


    As the last person entered, the ripples on the mirror quickly dissipated, replaced by images of those participating in the trial.


    "Blaze Ash, that item will be mine sooner or later."


    Watching Blaze Regret''s figure fade away, Kartis Sham''s gaze gradually turned cold.


    "Swish!"


    Upon stepping into the mirror, Blaze Regret flipped in mid air and landed steadily on the ground. A gust of sandy wind roared past, causing him to squint slightly.


    Straightening up, Blaze Regret slowly scanned his surroundings. To his surprise, only a few people had landed near him. Upon seeing Blaze Regret, their expressions changed slightly, and they quickly retreated into the distance.


    To them, a Ninth Stage Spirit Imperial Master like Blaze Regret was an unbeatable existence. Facing him meant a swift elimination unless they wished for it.


    "This is somewhat different from what I imagined."


    Ignoring those who fled, Blaze Regret took a few steps forward, his expression thoughtful.


    The area was completely isolated from the world, with towering mountains standing eternally in the distance. The ancient trees growing on them exuded a desolate aura.


    "Ah!"


    As Blaze Regret was surveying the ancient land, a piercing scream suddenly cut through the sky. It was a Sixth Stage Spirit Imperial Master, with a sand colored long snake wrapped around his throat. The snake was visibly siphoning his blood at an alarming speed.


    After being drained of blood, the young man''s face turned deathly pale as he fell backward, his stiff hands still clutching the snake''s body tightly. The lingering look of terror on his face was quite shocking to behold.


    "This is bad, it''s a Sand Viper!"


    Recognizing the snake that burrowed back into the ground, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed sharply. Flames flickered at his feet as his figure transformed into a black shadow, swiftly retreating.


    "Whoosh!"


    As he moved, the ground he had passed over began to writhe, and numerous sand colored long snakes shot out like lightning, their gaping maws aiming to bite his throat.


    A flash of red light streaked by as Red leaped down from Blaze Regret''s shoulder. Its sharp claws traced a semicircular arc of light, instantly severing the heads of several sand colored long snakes.


    Watching the headless snake bodies continue to writhe frantically, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Blaze Regret''s forehead. Although he remained calm during the danger, he felt a wave of lingering fear now that it had passed.


    The Sand Viper is a mid tier Imperial grade spirit beast with earth attributes. These creatures live only in remote, barren regions, often lying in ambush beneath sand or soil. They attack suddenly when other spirit beasts or spiritual masters pass by, draining their victims'' blood.


    Countless lives have met their end at the hands of these natural predators.


    "It seems this trial is far from as peaceful as I imagined," he murmured to himself. Just as Blaze Regret was about to leave with Red, the ground around him began to move rapidly like flowing water, forming a massive vortex with him at its center.


    Upon closer inspection, the vortex was teeming with countless figures that blended seamlessly with the earth, the Sand Vipers!


    "Their numbers...," Blaze Regret thought, feeling a slight tingle of dread. Even with his skills, escaping from such a large swarm of Sand Vipers seemed uncertain, unless he summoned the Ice Control Irenix and flew into the sky.


    However, doing so would reveal his trump card, the Third Spirit portal, which had never been shown in Snow Storm City. This could potentially bring unexpected trouble.


    After all, a Ninth Stage Spirit Imperial Master possessing a Third Stage Lord grade spirit beast was indeed quite unusual. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Heh, it seems my Wind Movement Technique has become more refined," he mused with a hint of wry amusement.


    A mocking laugh echoed down from above, causing Blaze Regret to look up with a slight change in expression. He saw a figure clad in light green attire looking down at him with a smirk.


    "It''s you."

 Chapter 380 - 380 Soul Kun

    Blaze Regret''s expression grew colder. The presence of such a large number of Sand Vipers was unusual unless someone was deliberately manipulating the situation.


    For instance, using wind based spiritual techniques to force the Sand Vipers out from underground, which was exactly what Blaze Regret was facing.


    "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Soul Kun."


    The man hovering in the air smiled down at Blaze Regret, his face full of sarcasm.


    "Someone from the Soul family," Blaze Regret muttered, his voice dripping with coldness.


    No wonder he had encountered such an unexpected situation upon entering; someone had been orchestrating this from the shadows all along.


    "Don''t look at me like that. If you beg, perhaps I''ll help collect your remains later," Soul Kun chuckled, his gaze shifting slightly. He glanced down, a playful look crossing his face. "It seems you''re destined to meet your end here today. Even such a massive creature has been forced out."


    "Whoosh!"


    As Soul Kun finished speaking, the ground in front of Blaze Regret suddenly split open. A colossal figure, about ten feet long, emerged with cascading soil, creating a breathtaking sight. Its menacing triangular pupils locked onto Blaze Regret, exuding a chilling aura.


    A foul stench permeated the air.


    It was the Sand Viper King, a Ninth Stage High Imperial grade spirit beast with earth attributes!


    The colossal Sand Viper King, entirely brown in color, was covered with scales resembling shattered rocks. Its chilling triangular pupils emitted an icy aura that could send shivers down one''s spine. With a light step back, Soul Kun retreated several hundred meters, gleefully watching the Sand Viper King emerge from the ground. To him, this was an unexpected delight.


    With his strength as an eighth level spirit Imperial master, combined with the numerous Sand Vipers, there was a possibility of killing Blaze Regret, although it was not guaranteed. However, with the appearance of the Sand Viper King, that possibility had evidently increased several times over.


    "I wonder how much the Kartis Family will reward me for taking him down," Soul Kun mused, his eyes gleaming as he gazed at Blaze Regret, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.


    "Hiss!"


    The scarlet snake tongue flicked lightly as the Sand Viper King slowly slithered around Blaze Regret''s position, encircling him and Red tightly within its elongated body in no time. Beneath its massive form, several Sand Vipers were crushed, their blood splattering and staining the soil red, yet the Sand Viper King remained indifferent, as if it couldn''t care less.


    A flash of cold light passed through its eyes as the Sand Viper King slightly raised its head before swiftly shooting downwards, its foul mouth wide open, viciously aiming to bite Blaze Regret.


    Just as the Sand Viper King''s fangs were only half a foot from Blaze Regret''s head, Red, enveloped in pale yellow flames, darted over like lightning. Its gleaming claws collided fiercely with the Sand Viper King diving downwards.


    "Clang!"


    A sound akin to metal clashing rang out, and a fiery ripple rapidly spread outward. The Sand Vipers caught in this ripple were directly severed in two, their cuts smooth as a mirror.


    Seeing Red entangled with the Sand Viper King, the surrounding Sand Vipers immediately redirected their bloodthirsty, greedy gaze towards Blaze Regret. Their tails flicked as they launched themselves toward the center en masse.


    "Sun Flame Wall!"


    Feeling the bloody wind enveloping him from all directions, Blaze Regret''s expression turned serious. He thrust his hands forward, and scorching pale yellow spiritual energy quickly spread, forming a flaming shield around him as the center. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    One by one, the Sand Vipers relentlessly crashed against the Sun Flame Wall. Inside, Blaze Regret''s forehead gradually became slick with sweat. If it were any other ninth level spirit Imperial master, they likely would have been unable to withstand such a fierce onslaught and would have succumbed to having their blood drained dry.


    Even for him, despite consuming a pill, he could only maintain this defense for a maximum of half a quarter of an hour. After all, the speed of refining the pill couldn''t keep up with the rapid depletion of his spiritual energy.


    "It''s still a bit too slow."


    With a faint wind swirling at his feet, Soul Kun glanced at the fierce battle between Red and the Sand Viper King, shrugged helplessly, and then smiled at Blaze Regret, who was surrounded by the swarm of snakes. "In that case, I''ll do something good to spare you some suffering."


    "Wind Motion Technique!"


    At the moment the last syllable fell, Soul Kun''s eyes sharpened. A pale cyan wind glow coiled around his palm as he swung it down fiercely towards Blaze Regret below.


    "Whoosh!"


    As Soul Kun''s hand swung down, a tornado infused with violent energy struck heavily around Blaze Regret. Instantly, the ground beneath him spun even more rapidly.


    "Not good!"


    Feeling the earth writhing beneath his feet, Blaze Regret''s expression shifted slightly. Just as he intended to summon the Ice Control Irenix to break through the Sand Viper swarm, the Sand Viper King, who had been entangled with Red, suddenly descended ominously, burrowing headfirst into the ground. Its powerful tail coiled tightly around Blaze Regret''s waist.


    In the next moment, the Sand Viper King, with Blaze Regret in its grip, vanished from the area, leaving behind only a dark, terrifyingly deep pit among the swarm of snakes, its destination unknown.


    "Roar!"


    Seeing Blaze Regret disappear without a trace, Red swiftly darted to the edge of the dark pit, anxiously peering down. Finding no trace, its eyes, filled with murderous intent, suddenly turned towards Soul Kun in midair.


    "Your spirit master is about to die. Why don''t you join him?"


    Soul Kun chuckled as he waved his hand, causing a figure entirely composed of wind energy to slowly materialize beside him.


    The figure was roughly the size of an adult human, with its lower portion resembling a spiraling whirlwind. Its two rotating wind arm blades were exceptionally thick, surrounded by small wind vortices that whipped up fierce gusts.

 Chapter 381 - 381

    This was the Storm Lord, an eighth level high level Imperial grade spiritual beast with wind attributes.


    Although this spiritual beast was only at the eighth level, its ability to hover made it formidable even against some ninth level Imperial grade spiritual beasts, which often found themselves helpless against it and could even be slowly tormented to death.


    With a cold gaze, the Storm Lord looked down at Red below. It slightly raised its right hand, and massive cyan wind blades began to form above it. These blades quickly slashed down towards Red with a fierce, rapid momentum, tearing through the air.


    "Roar!"


    Eyes filled with murderous intent, Red kicked off with its paws, diving into the pit, narrowly avoiding the sweeping cyan wind blades that managed to shear off a few strands of pale yellow fur.


    Meanwhile, in the dark pit:


    "Rustle, rustle!"


    Hearing the sound echoing around him, Blaze Regret, tightly bound by the Sand Viper King, felt a surge of cold determination. Silver spiritual energy welled up in his palm as he fiercely struck the Sand Viper King''s slick tail.


    A dull thud resounded as the Sand Viper King let out a pained hiss, involuntarily loosening its grip on Blaze Regret. At the point of impact, several blood streaked scales were sent flying.


    "In this place where no one can see, it''s time for me to take you down!"


    With sharp ice blades embedded deeply into the soil to prevent himself from falling, Blaze Regret''s eyes glinted with a fierce resolve. Moving swiftly, he held a gleaming ice blade in each hand, and without hesitation, he struck violently at the Sand Viper King''s head.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    As Blaze Regret charged downward, the Sand Viper King opened its mouth repeatedly, launching a barrage of sand arrows that struck the two swinging ice blades, causing them to crack.


    Though the ice blades shattered in his hands, Blaze Regret merely let out a cold laugh. With a wave of his hand, dozens of sharp ice blades rapidly formed again, instantly piercing the Sand Viper King with countless wounds.


    "Smack!"


    Landing on the barely breathing head of the Sand Viper King, Blaze Regret slowly straightened his slightly bent body. His second spiritual portal was a third level high lord rank, making it easy for him to quickly conjure ten shattered ice blades in an instant.


    Thus, as long as it wasn''t a lord level spiritual beast, he was confident in his ability to kill it in a single strike.


    "Hmm?"


    He slightly raised his eyes and caught the falling Red, smiling faintly. Red, however, looked aggrieved, raising its fiery tail, which was now bare without any of its once beautiful fur at the tip.


    "I''ll get your revenge in a bit." S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Gently patting Red''s small head, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but chuckle. Just as he was about to follow the tunnel dug out by the Sand Viper King to the surface, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he glanced downward sharply:


    "Something''s not right. Why are there so many life auras below, and among them, several are no weaker than the Sand Viper King beneath my feet!"


    Feeling the numerous presences emanating from below, Blaze Regret''s expression fluctuated as he hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and summoning the most powerful Ethereal Lotus to his side.


    With a slight pout, Ethereal Lotus raised her hand gently, and a long, sharp vine shot out, drilling slowly into the soil below.


    Blinking her beautiful eyes, Ethereal Lotus extended the vine connected to her palm. After a long while, her eyes suddenly brightened as the sharp vine stopped moving. She then turned to look at Blaze Regret beside her.


    "Is it through?"


    Understanding the meaning in Ethereal Lotus''s eyes, Blaze Regret''s gaze grew more serious. It seemed that, as he had suspected, there was indeed something strange below.


    "Swish!"


    The long vine retracted into her palm. Ethereal Lotus raised her two soft little hands and took the spiritual fruit handed to her by Blaze Regret, chewing with satisfaction. Aside from eating, she rarely seemed to care about anything else.


    Gazing at the light emanating from the small hole, Blaze Regret tightened his grip on the ice shard blade in his hand. He then leaped off the head of the Sand Viper King, pressing his face against the soil to peer down below.


    "Gasp!"


    The scene below made Blaze Regret gasp in shock. It was an incredibly vast space with countless Sand Vipers lying quietly. In the center, several dozen Sand Viper Kings were crouching.


    However, the colors of these Sand Viper Kings were all dark red, and the aura they emitted clearly reached the level of mid tier lords grade. Though not as powerful as the Ice Control Irenix or Ethereal Lotus, they were far stronger than the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros.


    After all, the latter had just recently broken through to the lord level and still needed some time to stabilize at this stage.


    Amidst the sea like swarm of Sand Vipers, there floated a palm sized rock fragment, surrounded by several peculiar runes that exuded a mysterious aura.


    "That thing... looks familiar¡­"


    Staring at the runes that resembled small wings, Blaze Regret felt a bit dazed. Suddenly, he widened his eyes, covering his mouth tightly with his right hand to stifle his gasp of surprise.


    "This emblem... it seems to be from the Sand Palace!"


    Shouting frantically in his mind, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but swallow hard, moistening his throat, which had become dry from the shock. It took several breaths before he could calm his excited emotions, but his gaze remained fixed on the mysterious rock fragment.


    Several hundred years ago, the situation in Snow Storm City was far more complex than it is now. Standing here was a colossal entity that could truly be called a sect.


    Its name was the Sand Palace! It was said that the contemporary palace master of the Sand Palace had almost reached the terrifying level of the peak Spirit King. However, for some unknown reason, the entire sect vanished without a trace overnight.

 Chapter 382 - 382 Sandwing Transformation

    At the time, this undoubtedly caused a huge uproar, and even the status of the Sun Moon Empire on the continent was affected, eventually being erased from the continent altogether.


    Even recalling these events now evokes a sense of sighing. Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But these were not enough to make Blaze Regret lose his composure. What he truly cared about was the Sand Palace''s secret art, the Sandwing Transformation!


    Ordinary spirit masters could only achieve flight by breaking through to the Spirit king level, where they could learn spirit techniques that allowed the wings of flying type spirit beasts from their spirit portal to emerge from their backs.


    However, the Sandwing Transformation of the Sand Palace enabled rock attribute spirit masters to condense wings at the Spirit Lord Master stage, without even needing a flying type spirit beast.


    It is easy to imagine how appealing and coveted such an extraordinary secret technique was.


    "That rock fragment should be related to the Sand Palace. However, those Sand Viper Kings could be extremely troublesome. Once provoked, it might be very difficult to escape unharmed."


    With his lips slightly pursed, Blaze Regret pondered for a moment, then clenched his hand tightly, finally making a decision.


    Fortune favors the bold; it''s worth the risk!


    With this thought, Blaze Regret turned his body slightly and nodded towards Ethereal Lotus.


    Dropping the fruit core from her hand, Ethereal Lotus glanced at the small hole she had drilled, her eyes slightly solemn. From within, she could vaguely sense auras even more powerful than her own.


    "Whoosh!"


    Without any hesitation, Ethereal Lotus waved her small hand, and a bright green seed shot into the hole like a bolt of lightning, then floated above the rock fragment under her control.


    Amidst the sound of a bud blooming, a deep crystalline blue flower quickly emerged, causing the spiritual energy in the surrounding air to become violently turbulent.


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous explosion echoed, and terrifying energy waves ravaged the vast space. The Sand Vipers and Sand Viper Kings, previously in a state of slumber, were instantly thrown into panic and chaos. The unsettling hissing of their snake tongues filled the air in a continuous cacophony.


    Amidst the chaos, a long, bright green vine shot into the middle of the snake swarm, snatching the rock fragment suspended in mid air.


    Holding the rock fragment that Ethereal Lotus handed over, Blaze Regret felt a momentary delight, but it quickly faded as he realized that the real trouble was just beginning.


    "Go!"


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s urgent shout, Red''s body rapidly expanded, transforming to the size of a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat. Instantly, it carried Blaze Regret, turning into a streak of pale yellow light, dashing furiously towards the exit of the deep cavern.


    In the blink of an eye, the soil below erupted in bursts, as all the Sand Vipers and Sand Viper Kings frantically chased after them, their eyes fixated on the rock fragment clutched in Blaze Regret''s hand.


    "Just as I thought."


    Seeing the sinister gazes below, Blaze Regret felt a slight heaviness in his heart. The fact that such a large number of rock attribute spirit beasts had gathered underground was evidently due to the power of this rock fragment.


    Had he not taken the most cautious action earlier, Ethereal Lotus''s vine might have been intercepted by the Sand Viper Kings. If a serpent swarm riot had been triggered, not only would obtaining the rock fragment have been impossible, but even escaping would have been a mere fantasy.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a vicious look, the Sand Vipers watched the pale yellow figure darting upward. Their mouths opened wide, releasing sharp sand arrows that spun with tiny whirlwinds, shooting out at an incredible speed.


    "Hmm?"


    Standing in mid air, Soul Kun had been waiting for some time. Seeing no unexpected incidents, he had mentally sentenced Blaze Regret to death. With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he was about to turn and leave to claim credit from the Kartis family when suddenly, the ground below began to undulate violently like a boiling sea.


    A flicker of confusion passed through Soul Kun''s eyes as he furrowed his brow slightly. Then, his expression changed dramatically. Several Sand Viper Kings burst forth from the earth, accompanied by flowing yellow sand. Their long bodies moved slowly, resembling giant pillars standing between heaven and earth.


    Amidst the swirling sand, a streak of pale yellow light, engulfed in blazing flames, leaped high into the air, accompanied by a clear Cat''s cry that echoed throughout.


    Seeing that figure, Soul Kun''s body instantly froze in place, his face covered in an intense disbelief.


    Sitting on the back of the leaping Red, Blaze Regret''s hair was slightly disheveled by the whistling cold wind, and the raging dust made his face sting.


    "Snap!"


    With a heavy step of its Cat paw, Red landed on the chaotic ground. Without any hesitation, it harnessed all its spiritual power and darted forward with a speed like a flaming arrow shot from a bow.


    Behind it, the ground continuously burst open as Sand Viper Kings lunged with vicious eyes, their sharp teeth dripping with venom.


    Feeling the foul wind that roared past the back of his head, Blaze Regret shuddered. That Sand Viper King had the power of a seventh rank lord grade!


    As Red dashed forward, a number of Sand Viper Kings swiftly pursued, followed by a dense swarm of Sand Vipers. From the sky, they resembled a terrifying mudslide.


    "You unlucky guy, it seems your situation is quite dire. Let me add to the fire."


    Standing in mid air, Soul Kun wore a mocking expression. He waved a hand behind him, and the violent spiritual power of the Storm Lord surged out, sending countless blue wind blades to cover Blaze Regret.


    "Swish!"


    The sharp wind blades tore the ground ahead of Red, causing it to halt abruptly, its claws digging into the ground and leaving a mark several tens of feet long.

 Chapter 383 - 383 Chase

    At the moment Red forcibly stopped, arrows made of yellow sand, their tips wrapped with invisible force, whistled through the air. One arrow grazed its side, drawing a trace of blood.


    "Quick, go!"


    Glancing back at the dozens of surging Sand Viper Kings, Blaze Regret''s pupils contracted, cold sweat seeping from his palms. Even Ethereal Lotus would have to avoid confronting such a number of Sand Viper Kings, let alone the ninth ranked Red.


    Gritting its teeth, three streams of light swirled around Red, and its speed soared, breaking through the encirclement of Sand Viper Kings in an instant.


    However, the wind blades continued to fiercely shoot down from the sky, accompanied by Soul Kun''s hearty laughter echoing through the air.


    "Change course three thousand feet ahead. There are many peaks there. Even if they can''t completely stop the Sand Viper Kings, they can at least slow them down," Blaze Regret said in a deep voice, his gaze filled with murderous intent as he glanced at Soul Kun. As for the Imperial grade Sand Vipers, he automatically ignored them; it wouldn''t be long before they were left far behind.


    "Think you can escape? It''s not that easy," Soul Kun said with a sly smile. "Besides, if you get away, I''ll lose a lot of fun. So, you''d better stay."


    Hearing Soul Kun''s light laughter, the Storm Lord struck out with a palm. Light green spiritual power surged and transformed into a massive wind blade about a meter wide. The surface of the wind blade rippled like water, producing waves.


    In the next moment, the gigantic wind blade descended with a sharp sound of cutting through the air, so sharp that it even tore the air apart.


    Advanced Imperial Level Spiritual Skill: Whistling Wind Blade!


    "Get lost!"


    Gazing at the whistling wind blade, Blaze Regret''s eyes grew increasingly cold. Under normal circumstances, such an attack wouldn''t even withstand a single blow from him, but now, with Soul Kun taking advantage of the distance, it posed a significant problem.


    With fire flickering in his eyes, Red suddenly raised its head, and two pale yellow beams of spiritual power shot out, instantly shattering the Whistling Wind Blade to pieces.


    "Get lost?"


    Although surprised by Red''s strength, Soul Kun showed no fear. Instead, he laughed indifferently. "You''re quite angry, aren''t you? A ninth rank spirit Imperial master being toyed with by me. You want me to leave, but I won''t. If you have the ability, kill me."


    With that, Soul Kun provocatively descended to hover above Blaze Regret''s head, his arrogant laughter provoking the Sand Viper Kings behind to become even more agitated.


    "Hold on. If you stop, you''ll be surrounded by the Sand Viper Kings and won''t be able to escape. I promise, I won''t let him die easily."


    Calming the gritting Red, a cold light flashed in Blaze Regret''s dark eyes. In his heart, Soul Kun was already marked for death.


    Soul Kun, in his excited state, was clearly unconcerned. So what if Blaze Regret harbored murderous intent? In the end, Blaze Regret would still be toyed with to death. The thought of the reward from the Kartis family filled him with anticipation.


    "Hmm? The mountains are just ahead. Storm Lord, don''t let them pass. Use Storm Assault!"


    Nodding slightly, the Storm Lord thrust both palms forward. The biting cold wind rapidly converged, transforming into a massive storm tornado, its mournful howling resonating through the sky.


    "Swish!"


    The storm tornado roared down, and as it swept through, the air rapidly fled, and even the raging yellow sand was ground into dust.


    "Red, Split Shadow!"


    With Blaze Regret''s shout, Red''s body shuddered, splitting into two identical forms. One, carrying Red''s essence, shot forward swiftly, while the other was engulfed by the descending tornado, shredded into spiritual light particles.


    "Go up."


    Seeing the peaks towering ahead, Blaze Regret''s eyes brightened slightly. Beneath him, Red climbed swiftly, using the protruding rocks as footholds. Yellow sand arrows exploded beneath them, but the mountain''s rocks were remarkably tough, showing no signs of cracking.


    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"


    The pursuing Sand Viper Kings continuously collided with the mountain walls. At the peak, Blaze Regret watched the scene below and let out a slight sigh of relief.


    Clearly, even if the Sand Viper Kings could climb up, they were far slower than Red. The chain of mountains was like a natural barrier.


    "Heh, I didn''t expect you to actually get away," Soul Kun sneered, showing a vicious smile. But even if Blaze Regret escaped the Sand Viper Kings, surely his fire Cat''s spiritual power was nearly depleted.


    "In that case, I''ll personally take you down."


    Soul Kun murmured, and wind blades swirled around his outstretched hand. He then lightly pressed down toward the Storm Leader. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the figure charged downward, the Storm Lord''s right arm transformed into a sharp wind blade. The emitted sharp fluctuations sliced through the air below.


    "You thought I was ignoring you because I couldn''t deal with you?" Blaze Regret sneered coldly. Four pale yellow light shadows shot out from behind him, pinning the descending Storm Lord in mid air.


    "Crack!"


    With difficulty, the Storm Lord lowered its head to gaze at its shattered spiritual core. Its body rapidly thinned until, in the blink of an eye, only a trace of pale blue wind light remained, dispersing into the surrounding sky and earth.


    Soul Kun''s mouth opened slightly, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.


    Pale cyan fragments of the spirit core slowly scattered, swept away by the howling winds to an unknown destination. Crimson blood trickled from the corner of Soul Kun''s mouth, yet he stood petrified in mid air like a stunned wooden chicken. It wasn''t until his chaotic spiritual energy could no longer support his expenditure that he hastily snapped back to reality, staring in horror at the four waving fiery tails.


    His Storm Lord had been effortlessly obliterated in an instant?

 Chapter 384 - 384 Malfunctions

    Escape!


    Just as this thought emerged in his mind, Soul Kun despairingly saw the four fiery tails suddenly twist, wrapping around his waist like agile serpents.


    "You can''t kill me, I''m from the Soul Family!"


    Suspended by the Red before Blaze Regret, Soul Kun twisted his body frantically, his face etched with deep fear.


    This wasn''t Snow Storm City, where laughable rules were strictly adhered to. Here, even if blood flowed like a river, no one would intervene or care.


    "Didn''t you want me to kill you?"


    Blaze Regret looked at Soul Kun''s trembling face with extreme indifference. The previous situation had been perilous enough, and Soul Kun had nearly pushed him into the abyss of death multiple times.


    Below, this area was evidently the natural battlefield of the Sand Viper King and the sand viper swarm. Once surrounded, unless a Spirit King master intervened, it would be nearly impossible to escape even with all four spiritual portals open.


    "Spare me, and I won''t make a move against you in the future!" Soul Kun shouted in fear, but his voice carried no hint of submission.


    "Kill him."


    Uninterested in further discourse with Soul Kun, Blaze Regret turned away, casually waving his hand. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Even now, Soul Kun clung to his pitiful pride, pretending to beg for mercy while in truth, still issuing threats.


    "Ugh!"


    His gaze, fierce and penetrating, fixed upon the person who had been causing trouble since entering the ancient land. Suddenly, the Four fiery tails of Red became extremely sharp. Soul Kun''s pupils contracted instantly, and his body was unexpectedly sliced into four pieces.


    The Sand Viper Kings naturally had no reason to let such a sudden meal slip by. With mouths wide open, they devoured Soul Kun''s body entirely, even fighting among themselves in the process.


    "Tail Blade?"


    Turning his head sharply, Blaze Regret looked with delight at Red''s four fiery tails, now as sharp as blades. He hadn''t anticipated that the Tail Blade spiritual technique could be used in conjunction with the Four Tail Spear, likely enhancing its destructive power by more than one level.


    "I''ll call it the Four Tail Blade."


    Having coined a new name for the spiritual technique in his mind, Blaze Regret slowly lifted his head, grinning slightly at the empty sky. He wondered what the head of the Soul Family would feel upon learning of Soul Kun''s death.


    Probably, he would wish even more for my demise.


    With a nonchalant smile, Blaze Regret sat on Red''s back, traversing several mountain peaks and disappearing from view. Below, the numerous Sand Viper Kings, sensing the fading presence, let out angry hisses.


    The sight of the myriad snakes moving simultaneously was enough to make one''s heart tremble.


    Outside the ancient mirror.


    "Heh, I didn''t expect Blaze Ash''s descendant to be nothing special."


    Sitting not far from the Kartis Family, Soul Lin looked up at Blaze Regret being dragged into a deep cave by the Sand Viper King, a mocking smile spreading across his face. His son''s ability to stand out in such a highly scrutinized situation filled him with pride.


    "He''s actually emerged again?"


    After a moment, seeing Blaze Regret riding Red back into the scene, Soul Lin''s brows furrowed. The scene flashed, and he was infuriated to witness the image of Soul Kun being sliced into pieces.


    "You little brat, I want you dead!"


    With a sudden surge, Soul Lin stood up, his voice filled with murderous intent, causing the murmuring crowd to instantly fall silent. All eyes turned to the visibly agitated Soul Lin.


    "Master Soul, please maintain your temper."


    Kartis Sham turned his head and glanced at Soul Lin with calm indifference. Soul Lin''s body trembled, and he quickly sat back down, unable to control himself. Despite being an eighth level Spirit Lord Master, he was clearly wary of Kartis Sham, a seventh level Spirit King Realm.


    Even though the Soul Family was currently a vassal to the Kartis Family.


    "Just wait, I will tear you to pieces!"


    Soul Lin''s eyes brimmed with killing intent as he watched Blaze Regret''s figure disappear over the mountain peak. His grip on the armrest tightened slightly, and when he raised his hand, the armrest had been twisted into a pile of fragments.


    After crossing several mountain peaks, Red''s feet gradually came to a halt. Blaze Regret scanned the area behind him and exhaled lightly.


    It seemed that those terrifying entities had finally been shaken off.


    "Master Magi, is there a way to block the ancient mirror''s surveillance?"


    Though appearing to gaze into the distance, Blaze Regret''s voice emerged quietly, like the hum of a mosquito.


    Although the ancient mirror could only cast one person''s image at a time, the very thought of it made his skin crawl. No one would be pleased with the possibility of being watched without consent.


    "Heh, it''s just a broken mirror. In ancient times, there were thousands of such mirrors. As long as one''s strength reached the Spirit King level, it was possible to block it by forcefully isolating one''s aura."


    As Master Magi''s light laughter echoed, golden runes, invisible to the outside world, flowed rapidly around Blaze Regret. Moments later, with a swift motion, they were absorbed into his body.


    "Did it go dark?"


    In the square, everyone was taken aback as they looked at the now pitch black mirror. They then turned puzzled gazes toward Kartis Sham.


    "This mirror is merely a relic from ancient times, already damaged. Therefore, encountering some unusual situations is to be expected."


    Kartis Sham waved his hand, and a completely different scene appeared once again. Upon seeing the new images, the doubts and suspicions in the hearts of the crowd gradually dissipated.


    "The ancient mirror never malfunctions. Could it possibly be the influence of that particular item?"


    With this thought, a broad smile quickly spread across Kartis Sham''s face as he mused to himself.


    Thirty years ago, I missed out on that item, and Blaze Ash benefited from it, gaining the opportunity to leap through the Dragon Gate. However, this time, I definitely won''t let it slip through my fingers.

 Chapter 385 - 385

    As his hand clenched tightly, the sinister smile at the corner of Kartis Sham''s mouth betrayed his uncontainable ambition.


    Walking slowly through the desolate mountains, Blaze Regret held the mysterious rock fragment in his left hand and twirled the Heal Pendant in his right. After a moment''s hesitation, he finally couldn''t resist asking, "Master Magi, what exactly is this Heal Pendant? If it merely has the ability to recover quickly, it wouldn''t drive so many powerful figures to such extremes."


    After a brief silence, Master Magi''s calm voice arose from within the Void realms Stone.


    "This item is a Star Dragon Pearl that fell from the Imperial Star Dragon''s body."


    "Oh."


    Nodding slightly, Blaze Regret suddenly understood, but then his steps abruptly halted, and his delicate face was filled with a look of astonishment.


    "Imperial... Imperial Star Dragon?"


    Upon hearing the name from Master Magi''s mouth, Blaze Regret''s face was filled with disbelief.


    The Imperial Star Dragon is said to be the creator of the stars on this continent. Every star that twinkles in the night sky is crafted by its dragon claws. Of course, this is merely a legend.


    Thus, hearing this name with his own ears, Blaze Regret''s heart was undeniably shaken.


    Could this mythical spirit beast actually exist?


    "Let''s talk while we walk," Master Magi''s figure appeared, pointing at the rock fragment in Blaze Regret''s hand that was wrapped with mysterious runes, and smiled.


    Nodding with a dry mouth, Blaze Regret infused a trace of spiritual power into the rock fragment. Instantly, a faint beam of spiritual light shot into the distant horizon.


    "That should be the direction where the Sand Palace is located!"


    With a hint of delight in his eyes, Blaze Regret sat on the back of the Red and charged forward, leaving a long trail of dust behind.


    "The Imperial Star Dragon is a powerful spirit beast that has existed since ancient times. As for how many years it has lived, no one knows anymore because it has only appeared in the world a few times, and the most recent appearance was three million years ago."


    "Three million years ago..." Blaze Regret''s mouth slightly opened, letting in a gust of cold wind. The sheer length of time was simply unimaginable.


    "At that time, the Imperial Star Dragon engaged in a battle of epic proportions with the leader of the mystical beasts. The sky and the earth were torn apart, and the land, which originally covered the majority of the area, was quickly filled with seawater, turning into a sea region. Eventually, it was only with the intervention of several other continent guardians that the potentially continent destroying confrontation was stopped. Both the Imperial Star Dragon and the leader of the mystical beasts suffered varying degrees of injury."


    "Among them, two of the nine Star Dragon Pearls surrounding the Imperial Star Dragon were scattered. One broke through the shackles of the river of time, forming a new celestial spirit beast known as the Heavenly Imperial Star, while the other fell into a spatial rift, its whereabouts unknown until it reappeared on the continent thirty years ago."


    "Is it really this one?"


    Blaze Regret looked incredulously at the dazzling star pendant in his palm. Could this object truly be a part of the Imperial Star Dragon?


    "Indeed," Master Magi nodded slowly.


    Blaze Regret''s throat moved slightly as he swallowed, and his hand trembled a bit. The Imperial Star Dragon was a mythical level spirit beast, with only the leader of the mystical beasts having the qualification to contend with it. He never imagined he would have the opportunity to touch one of its Star Dragon Pearls.


    "So, is the Imperial Star Dragon still alive?" Blaze Regret looked up at Master Magi, his expression complex. He had no desire to be inexplicably eliminated by such an existence one day. This Star Dragon Pearl was undoubtedly a hot potato.


    "It should still be alive. With beings like that, who really knows?" Master Magi shrugged, speaking in a lazy tone. "But even if it is, so what? Aren''t you curious about what this Star Dragon Pearl actually does?"


    Master Magi''s enticing words made Blaze Regret tighten his grip slightly on the star pendant, and then he nodded heavily. After all this time, it''s possible that the spirit beast may have long since vanished in the river of time.


    Comforting himself with that thought, Blaze Regret''s expression brightened a bit. That majestic name felt like a heavy mountain, one that would be difficult for anyone to bear.


    "Heh, I knew it," Master Magi smiled faintly. "The most terrifying aspect of the Imperial Star Dragon is its incredible regenerative ability. It''s said that the leader of the mystical beasts controls one of the most fearsome flames in existence, the Calamity Flame. Even opponents of equal strength would turn to ash upon contact. Yet, the Imperial Star Dragon withstood the burning of the Calamity Flame thanks to its extraordinary healing ability."


    "Rapid healing, that I understand," Blaze Regret said.


    "No, you don''t," Master Magi replied.


    Turning his head, Master Magi looked intently at the star pendant in Blaze Regret''s hand. "You''ve only witnessed its meager surface level healing ability. What''s truly terrifying is that if you were to fuse it into the spiritual core of any spirit beast in your spiritual portal, that beast would gain a recovery speed second only to the Imperial Star Dragon itself."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret''s heart leaped, and his face was filled with astonishment.


    Doesn''t that imply that as long as the strength difference isn''t too great, the beast would be nearly impossible to kill, effectively granting it an immortal status?


    "But I have more than one spirit beast," Blaze Regret said with a slight headache. Although he was extremely tempted by the effect, he felt uncomfortable about choosing which spirit beast to enhance. It seemed to imply he had to pick a favorite.


    For him, both the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, the Ice Control Irenix, and the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros were irreplaceable.

 Chapter 386 - 386 Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood

    "You could refine it yourself," Master Magi suggested with a half smile.


    "No way, I don''t want to die," Blaze Regret quickly waved his hand, his expression slightly changing. This was a part of the Imperial Star Dragon''s body; even a Spirit Sovereign expert would probably not dare to try. The overwhelming energy could make him explode instantly.


    "I was just suggesting," Master Magi chuckled. "Besides the remarkable healing speed, the Star Dragon Pearl has another unique feature. It can absorb spiritual energy from other elements. Back in the day, the nine Star Dragon Pearls of the Imperial Star Dragon absorbed the Calamity Flame from the leader of the mystical beasts, which allowed it to barely win a match with its powerful spiritual skills."


    "That doesn''t seem very useful to me," Blaze Regret said, gazing at the star pendant with a slight pout.


    "The last effect, however, might interest you," Master Magi said with a mysterious smile. "If you keep the star pendant with you at all times, it will automatically absorb stellar energy from the sky, converting it into absorbable spiritual power, which it will then distribute to all your spiritual portals, thereby unconsciously increasing your cultivation speed."


    "Hiss!"


    Drawing in a sharp breath, Blaze Regret finally understood why Kartis Sham and the others were so interested in this item. With this in his possession, future cultivation would become much easier.


    Especially for him, as he needed to simultaneously enhance all his spirit beasts while dealing with extremely limited time and resources. In this light, the star pendant formed from the Star Dragon Pearl seemed tailor made for him.


    "Heh, now that I know its true purpose, there''s no way I''m handing it over."


    Blaze Regret grinned. Even if this item was a hot potato, he would do everything in his power to protect it. If anyone dared to reach for it, he''d deal with them decisively.


    "Hmm?"


    A particularly domineering wave of spiritual power emanated from ahead. Blaze Regret narrowed his eyes slightly, then was astonished to see sharp vines waving through the air, filling the entire vast valley in front of him.


    Amidst those vines, there seemed to be shouting voices echoing.


    "Looks like there''s something big in there."


    Carefully placing the Heal pendant and rock fragment into his void realms stone, a faint smile appeared on Blaze Regret''s lips.


    "Aren''t you going to search for the Thunder Soul Bead?" Master Magi''s expression was somewhat puzzled, considering that the trial''s outcome depended on the number of Thunder Soul Beads collected.


    "I never cared much about winning. My main reason for being here is to challenge the Kartis Family."


    Excitement flickered in Blaze Regret''s eyes. "So, if there''s something to gain, I might as well seize the opportunity."


    "Red, let''s go!"


    In the expansive valley, vast swathes of verdant green vines danced wildly. Amidst the dense gaps between these vines, countless figures darted swiftly. Each movement of the vines unleashed a flurry of blood arrows.


    This was an exceedingly terrifying wood attribute spiritual beast, with an extraordinarily peculiar structure. The upper part of its body comprised robust vines, covered with countless sharp thorns, brimming with vitality. In contrast, its lower part resembled white, withered wood, firmly rooted in the ground.


    The Azure Wood Thorn Demon, a second tier low level lord grade spiritual beast, possessed wood attributes.


    Standing atop the rocky peak, Blaze Regret''s pitch black eyes narrowed slightly. As his gaze slowly descended, his heart rate suddenly accelerated.


    Amidst the crisscrossed withered wood of the Azure Wood Thorn Demon, a green luminescent orb floated, with something faintly pulsating within it.


    "That thing seems to be the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood?"


    After pondering for a moment, a rare glint flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes, and his voice, laced with undisguised delight, emerged.


    The Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, a wood attribute spiritual object, is only rarely birthed within a few Azure Wood Thorn Demons. Like most spiritual objects, the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood also enhances strength. However, unlike others, a wood attribute spiritual beast that refines this object can experience a sudden surge in power by four or five tiers in a short time. Admittedly, after that period, the power would rapidly decline, but this effect serves as a significant trump card for survival.


    No wonder such a number of spirit master have gathered here. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "However, given your strength, provoking the Azure Wood Thorn Demon is akin to courting death." Blaze Regret shook his head slightly as he watched the figures plummeting. The gap in rank is not something that can be bridged by sheer numbers.


    As expected, with the Azure Wood Thorn Demon''s frenzied assault, clouds of blood mist exploded in mid air. The once enthusiastic spirit master finally felt terror creeping across their faces and began fleeing desperately towards the distance.


    "Quickly, leave! If we continue entangling with it, we''ll all perish here!"


    A piercing cry echoed as figures swiftly retreated to safety, their expressions grim. They hadn''t anticipated gaining nothing and nearly perishing in the process. Moreover, many of their comrades had already fallen beneath the vines of the Azure Wood Thorn Demon.


    "It''s our turn, Mon Yin," a cheerful voice rang out atop a mountain peak, where four figures lounged lazily. Among them, three possessed the strength of eighth tier spirit Imperial master, while the leader was a formidable ninth-


    tier spirit Imperial master. This leader was none other than Mon Yin.


    "A bunch of incompetents. After attacking for so long, they''ve only managed to inflict minor injuries on the Azure Wood Thorn Demon. Even if we manage to take it down, it will come at a considerable cost," Mon Yin sneered, his eyes glinting with a fierce light. "But for the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, it''s worth the risk!"


    Just as the four were about to spring into action, Mon Yin''s right hand abruptly lifted, and he spoke with a hint of amusement, "Wait, it seems another fool wants to be our free mercenary."

 Chapter 387 - 387 Mon Yin

    In their line of sight, a faint yellow figure, radiating intense heat, descended from the sky. In a few swift movements, it dodged the sharp, swinging vines and directly engaged the Azure Wood Thorn Demon.


    "That kid looks familiar," one of Mon Yin''s companions remarked quietly.


    "Indeed," Mon Yin replied with a faint smile. "He''s just the descendant of a fallen Spirit Sovereign. Though it''s unclear why a fire attribute spirit master would be interested in the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, he''s merely paving the way for us."


    "So, let''s enjoy the show a bit longer."


    With a swift motion, the long vine, gleaming with sharp brilliance, struck down fiercely from above. The fiery figure dodged slightly, then with a sudden swipe of its claws, the incoming vine was sliced into two pieces.


    Sitting atop Red, Blaze Regret''s body swayed continuously, yet his gaze remained fixed on the verdant Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood.


    So what if it''s a lord grade spiritual beast? The Azure Wood Thorn Demon is merely of a low tier, and bearing this label significantly diminishes its intimidation factor.


    The difference between low and high tier may seem just a word apart, but the gap is as vast as the heavens and the earth. This not only indicates that the Azure Wood Thorn Demon is low tier on the surface, but also that its spiritual skills are among the weakest of the lord class. Typically, a first tier high level lord grade spiritual beast can even contend against a fifth tier low level one.


    Therefore, spiritual beasts on the continent strive to upgrade their ranks to the highest possible level. Otherwise, even if they have an advantage in rank, they will still be overwhelmed in battle.


    "Currently, the Azure Wood Thorn Demon has sustained some injuries, reducing its strength to merely fifty percent of its peak. Moreover, its attributes are countered by Red''s, making it sufficient to deal with."


    As Blaze Regret muttered softly, Red''s fiery tail swept across, unleashing flames that incinerated the incoming vines into a pile of ashes almost instantaneously.


    A piercing screech echoed as all the vines of the Azure Wood Thorn Demon rapidly converged in the sky, twisting vigorously to form a large, spiraling spike, exuding a sharp, cutting wave.


    "Swish!"


    As soon as the spike coalesced, it shot down with the speed of lightning, its terrifying force causing the air to emit heart stopping sonic booms.


    "A low tier lord grade spiritual skill, is it?"


    Blaze Regret looked up at the spiraling spike descending towards him, his eyes calm as still water. "Red, break it."


    "Whoosh!"


    With a forward step, Red''s Four fiery tails abruptly extended, like sharp spears, carrying unmatched sharp energy as they charged straight upward.


    "Clang!"


    The two sharp tips collided with a resounding crash, creating ripples in two distinct colors that rapidly spread outward. Moments later, under the astonished gazes of the numerous spirit master, the seemingly formidable vine spike began to shatter inch by inch at a visibly rapid pace.


    Amidst the shower of vine fragments, Red''s Four fiery tails changed direction, tracing a pale yellow arc through the air, and directly shattered the Azure Wood Thorn Demon''s spiritual core. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Seize it."


    Blaze Regret watched the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood with delight. Obtaining this item would add another trump card to his arsenal, significantly increasing his chances of survival.


    "Ha ha, the Azure Wood Thorn Demon is indeed dead. Mon Hao, go down and retrieve the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood."


    Just as Blaze Regret''s hand broke through the entangling roots and touched the verdant light orb, a voice filled with joyful laughter suddenly echoed from above.


    Upon hearing the resonant laughter from above, Blaze Regret''s eyes flashed with a chilling light. Without the slightest hesitation, he swiftly grabbed the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood. Meanwhile, Red moved to the side, narrowly avoiding a sharp, yard wide leaf that mercilessly sliced down and embedded itself deep into the ground.


    If that serrated edged leaf had struck, even Red would have struggled to escape unscathed.


    Sitting atop Red, Blaze Regret raised his head with a slightly cold expression. In the distance stood a towering tree shaped spirit beast, at least ten meters tall. Four figures in green garments stood on its leaves, each wearing a faintly mocking smile on their faces.


    "Fast indeed," Mon Yin remarked, curling his lips playfully. He stepped down with a thud, creating a ripple of dusty air. Behind him, three figures landed in succession, coldly staring at Blaze Regret, their presence quite imposing.


    "It''s Mon Yin!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, their expression changing slightly. Although Mon Yin was not from a prominent family, he had a considerable reputation among the younger generation in Snow Storm City due to his formidable strength as a ninth tier spirit Imperial master. Among rogue cultivators, he was considered particularly fearsome.


    "Just hand over the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, and I won''t trouble you. Consider it a favor for the former Flame Emperor," Mon Yin said with a smile, emphasizing the word "former."


    "What makes you think you''re qualified to trade on my father''s reputation?" Blaze Regret replied emotionlessly, storing the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood in the Void Realm Stone. His calm words cast a cold shadow over Mon Yin''s face.


    "Say that again," Mon Yin said, his lips barely moving, but his words carried a chilling menace as he glared at Blaze Regret.


    "If you want to rob me, just do it. Don''t bother with all this nonsense, it''s really annoying," Blaze Regret''s voice turned slightly icy. Decades ago, these stray cats and dogs wouldn''t have dared to speak out against his father, who they could only look up to in awe. Without his father''s sacrificial struggle, these people wouldn''t even be alive now.


    But now, anyone felt bold enough to mock, which stirred a rare murderous intent in Blaze Regret''s usually calm heart.


    "Haha, indeed, the descendants of great figures are bold," Mon Yin commented, unfazed.

 Chapter 388 - 388 Kill

    Mon Yin crossed his arms, standing in front of the massive tree demon, his voice laced with sarcasm, "See that? This is what happens when a petty person gains power. Fortunately, that so called Flame Emperor was just a mere Spirit Sovereign. If he had broken through to Spirit Emperor, his descendants might have disregarded all the strong individuals on the continent."


    "Without the Flame Emperor backing him, he''s nothing."


    "So what if he has backing? He''s just a fallen Spirit Sovereign, and most of Snow Storm City knows about this. Heh, if I ever reach the Spirit King level, I''d make sure to kill him first. It would be a great opportunity to make a name for myself."


    "That''s a good idea. Count me in."


    As the laughter from ahead reached Blaze Regret''s ears, his expression gradually turned grim, and a fierce murderous intent swirled rapidly in his heart. These people were courting death.


    "Red, leave none alive," Blaze Regret said coldly, as he swiftly darted backward.


    Feeling the pressure on its back disappear, Red gathered one substantial spiritual fire tails at its rear, which exuded an intensely hot energy as they swayed.


    "Whoosh!"


    The fire tails suddenly extended, slicing through the air like four streaks of light. In the blink of an eye, they pierced through the chests of the three laughing men with lightning speed, causing a spray of warm, crimson blood.


    The mocking voices abruptly ceased. Except for Mon Yin, the three men gaped, then looked down in disbelief at the fire colored cat tails piercing their chests.


    This scene happened in a flash, so quickly that even Mon Yin couldn''t react, let alone the others.


    "Swish!"


    With obsidian eyes narrowed slightly, Red willed the Four long fire tails to swiftly retract. As they ascended into the air, one of them disintegrated into scattered points of spiritual energy light.


    Glancing at Blaze Regret with unwillingness in their eyes, Mon Hao and the others saw their vitality slowly fade away. Their bodies went limp and fell to the ground with a thud.


    "You''re courting death!"


    Mon Yin, having finally reacted, glared fiercely at Blaze Regret. Mon Hao and the others had grown up with him, sharing a bond that words couldn''t capture, and yet, in the blink of an eye, they had vanished forever from this world.


    "Who is courting death, don''t you know?" Blaze Regret asked calmly. Insulting him was one thing, but daring to insult Blaze Ash was a challenge to his very limits. Clearly, Mon Hao and his group had crossed that line, and the cost of their success was their lives.


    "It was nothing more than speaking a few truths, and yet you killed them, all innocent! Truly, you are ruthless and cruel!" Mon Yin spat, breathing heavily, his voice icy with malice. "Giant Tree Demon, slaughter his fire Cat, and then I''ll ensure his death is excruciating!"


    In response to Mon Yin''s command, the Giant Tree Demon swung its branches, releasing a pale green spiritual energy that transformed into three rapidly spinning leaf blades. The edges of these blades were encircled by deep, mysterious lines, exuding a sharpness that was almost palpable. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a sharp, whistling sound, the three spinning leaf blades shot out, cutting through the air with erratic trails, converging from different directions to attack Red.


    However, Red remained unfazed by the assault, casually swiping its sharp claws. A few pale yellow flashes later, the seemingly rock splitting leaf blades were instantly cleaved in two.


    "If you have no other tricks up your sleeve, you might as well follow in the footsteps of those men," Blaze Regret remarked coolly, eyeing Mon Yin''s grim expression. A fire attribute spirit beast could easily overpower a wood attribute spirit beast of the same level. While the Giant Tree Demon might dominate other ninth tier spirit beasts, it was no match for Red.


    "Heh, you''re quite something," Mon Yin''s face twisted slightly, and then, a sinister smile spread across his lips. "This item was originally meant to win the trial, but since you''re so eager to die, I''ll oblige."


    As he spoke, Mon Yin flicked the Void Realm Stone, and a somewhat shriveled fruit appeared in his palm, emanating a strong, powerful aura.


    Seeing the item in Mon Yin''s hand, a ripple of emotion stirred in Blaze Regret''s eyes. It was another Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood!


    In Mon Yin''s palm appeared the emerald green Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, resembling a spherical fruit. The edges of the fruit were lined with dry wrinkles, and a powerful energy ripple quietly emanated from within.


    Gazing at the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood in Mon Yin''s hand, Blaze Regret''s initially changed expression quickly returned to normal. Although he had been surprised for a moment, he vaguely sensed that the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood seemed to have lost much of its spiritual power.


    "Go!"


    Without paying attention to Blaze Regret, Mon Yin waved his hand, and the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood swiftly flew toward the Giant tree demon. Several twisted branches immediately drooped down, firmly wrapping around the heart.


    Subsequently, the threads of emerald green energy from the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood flowed into the body of the Giant tree demon through its branches. All of its foliage rapidly grew lush, especially the tree patternls on its trunk, which protruded like twisted dragons, appearing particularly astonishing.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a tremor of its two branch like arms, the Giant tree demon unleashed a powerful wave, instantly reducing the remnants of the surrounding Azure Wood Thorn Demons to countless tiny fragments.


    At this moment, the aura of the Giant tree demon reached the level of a mid tier first level lord grade, far more formidable than the prior Azure Wood Thorn Demons!


    "Crack!"


    At this moment, the Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood could no longer endure, and densely packed tiny cracks spread all over it. Then, with a crisp sound, it shattered completely.


    "This Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood is truly terrifying!"

 Chapter 389 - 389

    Feeling the massive surge in the tree demon''s aura, Blaze Regret''s eyelids twitched slightly. The gap between the spirit imperial master and spirit lord master could hardly be overstated, yet a single inferior Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood could enhance it to such an extent? Then the one I possess should be even more astonishing.


    "Scared?" Mon Yin looked at Blaze Regret, a mocking smile playing at his lips. As long as he could kill the latter, he could obtain an even more powerful Exquisite Heart of Azure Wood, making this deal extremely worthwhile.


    "Just a mid tier first level lord grade. If it needs to be killed, it can still be killed," Blaze Regret replied with a nonchalant smile, but that smile appeared particularly loathsome in Mon Yin''s eyes.


    Mon Yin had expected Blaze Regret to show a terrified expression upon witnessing the strength of the Giant tree demon. However, his indifferent demeanor ignited Mon Yin''s anger several times over.


    "Your demeanor is truly irritating."


    From between his teeth, Mon Yin coldly enunciated each word: "Therefore, I will ensure that your expression when you die looks a bit more pleasant."


    "Bang!"


    With a powerful stomp of its sturdy withered branch like feet, the Giant tree demon suddenly surged forward. Its long, branch like arms sliced through the air with a fierce gale, sweeping towards Blaze Regret with terrifying force, creating a series of deep, explosive booms in the air.


    The tree demon''s attack arrived in the blink of an eye. The fiery claws of Red were engulfed in flames as they met the assault head on without evasion. As the Cat''s claws collided with the branches, waves of invisible ripples quickly spread out.


    "Thud, thud..."


    In a brief moment, the two had clashed over a dozen times. As the tree demon''s branches suddenly swelled, the fierce force smashed down. Red''s body trembled slightly, and it took several steps back with its Cat paw before it barely stabilized its stance.


    Red''s chest gently rose and fell, its black, glass like eyes filled with gravity. The Giant tree demon, already massive in size, had achieved a breakthrough to the lord grade, gaining absolute dominance in strength. Even with the advantage of its attributes, Red found it difficult to gain an edge.


    "Giant Tree Demon, Green Leaf Cage!"


    Seeing Red forced back, a look of wild joy surged across Mon Yin''s face, and his cold, sinister laughter abruptly echoed.


    "Whoosh!"


    Dark green leaves fell from the branches of the Giant tree demon, gathering above Red''s head and rotating like a vortex. The veins on each leaf were clearly visible.


    With a wave of the tree demon''s branch like arms, the leaves connected to form a massive cage, casting a shadow as it descended to suppress Red.


    Red''s mouth tightened slightly, and with a stomp of its paws, it attempted to leap forward. However, its body seemed to be caught by something, unable to advance.


    The green leaf cage carried an extremely strong suction force!


    With a slight glint in its eyes, one more spiritual cat tails materialized behind Red, quickly extending to meet the descending green leaf cage in a direct confrontation. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Boom!"


    Pale yellow energy ripples spread out as Red''s four cat tails forcibly held the rapidly descending green leaf cage in mid air, although the tails bent slightly under the pressure.


    "Haha, earlier, your fire cat only managed to take down the Azure Wood Thorn Demon by sheer luck with that move. However, your luck is about to end with me."


    Mon Yin laughed heartily, his laughter filled with boundless smugness: "Giant Tree Demon, use the Leaf Blade Rain to slice that fire Cat into countless pieces!"


    With a nod, the Giant tree demon unleashed a surge of powerful spiritual energy, forming numerous sharp blades in midair. The edges of these blades were lined with fine serrations, appearing extremely lethal.


    "Swish!"


    Like air being torn apart, the blades whistled down, transforming into a vast rain of leaf blades that enveloped Red entirely.


    "Haha, the so called Son of the Flame Emperor is nothing but a joke. Once I kill you, I will surely join the Kartis family!" Mon Yin laughed wildly. If this spiritual technique hit its mark, Red''s body would undoubtedly be shredded into pieces in an instant.


    "Sigh, is being the Kartis family''s lapdog really that enjoyable?"


    Blaze Regret shook his head with a hint of resignation and looked at Red. "Do it."


    With Blaze Regret''s permission, a gleam of joy flashed in Red''s eyes. Accompanied by the sound of a whoosh, amidst the Three fiery streaks of light, a fourth pale yellow line swiftly appeared.


    In an instant, Red''s aura surged once more, not dramatically, but sufficient to deal with the green leaf cage.


    "Swish!"


    Four long arcs of pale yellow light slashed through, and Red''s tail blade hovered in mid air. The cage that had held it immobile began to show sharp cracks and, moments later, powerlessly fell apart to the sides.


    Red''s eyes lifted slightly, and behind it, Four fiery tails, like long serpents, whipped furiously. The descending sharp leaf blades were instantly shredded into countless fragments.


    After shredding the rain of leaf blades, Red''s paws launched it into the air. The four fiery tails converged and pierced directly through the Giant tree demon''s body, then spread forcefully to the sides.


    "Crack!"


    Without a splinter flying, Red''s form flickered and gracefully landed on the ground. The disproportionately long fiery tails spread slightly, hovering in the air, making it appear like a majestic flame Cat sovereign.


    The Giant tree demon, towering several tens of meters high, stood dazed in place. As a gust of wind filled with sand swept by, its body slowly moved to both sides, and then, like four thick wooden wheels, it crashed to the ground with a thud.


    Watching the giant tree demon sliced into pieces by the Red, the onlookers in the distance fell silent instantly. They exchanged glances, each seeing the terror reflected in the other''s eyes.

 Chapter 390 - 390

    Just a few breaths earlier, the giant tree demon had briefly broken through to a first tier lord level, a terrifying existence comparable to the elders of some small families. Yet, it met a tragic end in less than a moment of glory.


    Mon Yin''s mouth gaped open in disbelief, his limbs turning icy cold. Just moments ago, he had been shouting for the giant tree demon to slice the Red into pieces. In a dramatic twist, it was his own spirit beast that got sliced instead. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Just a fire tail formed by condensed spiritual power, yet so formidable. I wonder when Red will reach the level of the Four tailed Red Cat, or even surpass it," Blaze Regret mused, his lips curling slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of chill as they landed on Mon Yin.


    Being stared at with such a gaze, Mon Yin involuntarily shivered, a tinge of fear spreading across his face.


    Blaze Regret intended to kill!


    His extensive experience allowed him to immediately grasp Blaze Regret''s intentions.


    "Friend... I have always respected Lord Fire Emperor. My actions earlier were forced by circumstances," Mon Yin hastily spoke, ignoring the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.


    As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of those watching turned rather amused. Who was it that, after others had slain the Azure Thorn Demon, they tried to reap the benefits, and who was it that, full of confidence, had previously made sarcastic remarks? Many remembered that sharp voice.


    "Forced by circumstances? Who forced you?" Blaze Regret asked playfully, looking at Mon Yin.


    "It was... it was..."


    Mon Yin''s face stiffened, his voice stuttering, and a sharp glint flashed deep within his eyes.


    "If you don''t want me to live, then just die!"


    With a fierce expression, Mon Yin raised his head, a slender bamboo tube appearing in his hand. Placing it to his lips, he blew forcefully, and a needle sharp spike pierced the air, shooting violently towards Blaze Regret.


    The speed was akin to a streak of lightning darting through the air.


    Blaze Regret merely smiled faintly at this display. With an air of nonchalance, he extended his right hand, and with a light pinch between two fingers, he effortlessly caught the exceptionally sharp spike.


    "A venomous needle, crafted from the stinger of a poison attributed venom bee," Blaze Regret remarked.


    Seeing Blaze Regret catch the needle, Mon Yin''s face turned deathly pale. Hearing these words from Blaze Regret only deepened his despair. It was only now that he realized how weak his petty tricks were in front of Blaze Regret.


    "Those struck by this will have their bodies covered in blood blisters, dying in an extremely gruesome manner. Such things are used only by truly malicious individuals," Blaze Regret commented, his gaze shifting to Mon Yin, who was attempting to flee. With disdain, he flicked his fingers, and the venomous needle transformed into a bright streak of light, piercing Mon Yin''s thigh.


    Feeling the sharp pain in his leg, Mon Yin''s face was filled with terror. He raised his hands, watching as blood blisters rapidly spread, his shrill cries of agony echoing through the sky.


    The onlookers in the distance, witnessing Mon Yin''s horrific transformation, couldn''t help but feel a chill run down their spines. Meeting a grim fate seemed to aptly describe his situation.


    "With the fly swatted, it''s time to get down to business," Blaze Regret stated, leaping onto Red''s back. As Red sped away, Blaze Regret showed no interest in even glancing back at Mon Yin.


    "You will die, you will definitely die at Kartis Van''s hands!" Mon Yin shouted venomously at Blaze Regret''s retreating figure. Suddenly, threads of blood spurted from the bursting blisters, and his agonized screams once again filled the air.


    The desolate ancient land stretched endlessly, and the galloping fire Cat moved like a pale yellow streamer, weaving silently through the terrain.


    Occasionally, a fierce wind would sweep by, lifting sand and gravel, stretching all the way to the horizon and blending with the undulating dunes. Such a scene was rarely seen in the Sun Moon Empire, and it appeared rather majestic.


    "This rock fragment seems a bit peculiar," Blaze Regret mused.


    Seated on Red''s back, Blaze Regret thoughtfully rubbed the rock fragment in his hand. The surface of the fragment was etched with mysterious runes and intricate, delicate patterns. However, beneath this exquisite appearance, there seemed to be an inherent flaw, imparting a subtle sense of disharmony.


    As he flipped through the heavy ancient book, Blaze Regret''s frown deepened. The book contained only basic records of the Sand Palace and some secrets unknown to ordinary people, but nothing more beyond that.


    "It seems this ancient book isn''t all encompassing," he mused, placing the book back into the Void realms Stone with a wry smile. Blaze Regret considered consulting Master Magi but hesitated and eventually decided against it. He had grown accustomed to independence and was no longer the inexperienced novice he once was.


    Suddenly, as Red continued its swift pace, the rock fragment in Blaze Regret''s hand began to vibrate slightly. A profound beam of light shot across the sky, connecting to the distant mountain range. The area appeared dim and murky, with rolling waves of earth colored sand resembling countless galloping dragons, exuding a formidable sense of pressure.


    "What a strong aura of oppression," Blaze Regret noted as Red came to a halt at the foot of the mountain. His expression turned solemn. He had always maintained a cautious respect for mysterious areas, knowing that underestimating them could have led to his demise in the Black Abyss.


    "Red, let''s head to the summit first and assess the situation," Blaze Regret commanded after a moment of contemplation. Regardless of any potential dangers ahead, he was determined to explore, driven by the allure of the secret technique, the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings , which was hard to resist.


    "Let''s go!"

 Chapter 391 - 391

    Atop the towering peak of the mountain, Red stood firm, narrowing its eyes against the howling sandstorm. Blaze Regret touched down on the ground, his expression grave as he peered downwards. The fierce storm below made it nearly impossible to discern any details of the landscape.


    As time slipped by, the rock fragment in Blaze Regret''s hand remained unresponsive. It wasn''t until dusk descended, and the first star appeared in the sky, that the fragment began to vibrate with a low hum.


    With a swift motion, the rock fragment, about the size of a palm, hovered before Blaze Regret, moving up and down. The mysterious runes on it began to flow more rapidly, and in an instant, the entire fragment became transparent.


    Through the glass like fragment, Blaze Regret gazed into the valley. In that moment, his body froze in place, overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of what he saw.


    From the mountain top, looking down into the wide valley, a monotonous yellow hue pervades everywhere. Not a trace of the vitality of trees is present, and the cold, fierce wind roars through, swirling up yellow sand that fills the sky. Through nearly transparent rock fragments, Blaze Regret''s dark eyes were shocked to see a majestic palace of yellow sand faintly standing amidst the whirling sandstorms!


    As the starlight flickered, the edges and outlines of the palace appeared and disappeared intermittently.


    "Swish!"


    The rock fragment suspended in front of his eyes fell into his palm. Even after a long time, Blaze Regret remained dazed, feeling a sense of unreality, a magnificent structure existing in this desolate, uninhabited valley?


    If not for the guidance of the mysterious rock fragment, he probably wouldn''t have believed it himself.


    "Let''s go down."


    After pondering for a moment while stroking his chin, Blaze Regret''s eyes flickered slightly. The interior of that palace might contain countless dangers, but having come all this way, turning back wasn''t his way of doing things.


    The mountain was extremely steep. It took a full quarter of an hour before Blaze Regret and Red reached the bottom together.


    "Whoosh!"


    The sweeping yellow sand made Blaze Regret squint his eyes and then wrap the hood of his black robe around his face, barely making it bearable.


    "Be careful!"


    Just as Red''s claw was about to touch the palace gate, Blaze Regret''s voice, filled with seriousness, suddenly rang out.


    With a slight nod, Red''s sharp claw slammed down fiercely, and in a flash, a dozen sharp yellow sand spears shot out from within the gate, shattering the hard rocks on the wasteland.


    Staring at the rapidly vibrating spear shafts, beads of cold sweat appeared on Red''s forehead. If it hadn''t dodged in time, those yellow sand spears would have been enough to pierce through its body in an instant. Such sharpness would be difficult for even a lord level spirit beast to withstand.


    "Dilililu!"


    Standing beside the palace gate, Blaze Regret picked up a pebble and tossed it inside the palace. Initially, there was no reaction, but when he threw the sixth pebble, sharp yellow sand spears suddenly shot down from all directions within the palace, covering the entire ground. After a while, they slowly dissipated into dust.


    "Damn!"


    Looking at the perforated ground, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but curse. Fortunately, he tested a few more times; otherwise, stepping in would have left him with no chance of survival.


    After confirming there was no danger, Blaze Regret cautiously entered the palace with Red. He glanced around and noticed stone statues arranged around the palace, resembling giant bats with outstretched wings.


    As Blaze Regret was observing the various postures of these bats, some of their eyes suddenly flashed with red light, and fragments of rock began to fall from their rigid wings.


    At that moment, the stone statues seemed to come to life.


    "Red, fall back!"


    Without a second thought, Blaze Regret urgently shouted and scanned the statues with wary eyes. Silver white rock quickly spread across his palm.


    "Screech~"


    An unsettling sound of friction echoed continuously as the bat shaped statues slowly rose into the air. Mysterious runes swirled around them.


    "Is this... the long lost art of rune crafting?"


    With slightly rapid breaths, Blaze Regret watched the levitating statues in shock. According to legends, in ancient times, there existed a special profession known as rune masters. Lower level rune masters could inscribe runes of lightning and fire, capable of producing terrifying destructive power. More powerful ones could even control inanimate objects to combat spirit beasts.


    The scene before him was evidently very close to that legend.


    "However, even if it''s rune crafting, after all these years, no matter how powerful the runes once were, their energy must have been depleted."


    Coming back to his senses from the shock, Blaze Regret''s eyes turned sharp as he commanded Red, "Use the Four tail Spear and smash all these statues!"


    "Swish!"


    Statues descended with a fierce howl, their eyes filled with an icy, murderous intent. Their sole mission was to eliminate any intruders within the palace, even though the palace''s owner had long since vanished.


    "Boom!"


    Red''s Four long fiery tails lashed out wildly in mid air, accompanied by the sound of intense explosions. One by one, the statues were shattered, reduced to rubble that scattered across the ground.

    Watching the statues explode, Blaze Regret''s eyes narrowed slightly. If these statues were at their peak, each could likely possess the strength of a ninth tier lord level being. It was hard to imagine how glorious this palace must have been once.


    Within a few breaths, all the statues were destroyed. Red''s four long, pale yellow fiery tails lingered in the air, stained with traces of blood, while its chest heaved slightly.


    Clearly, it had sustained some injuries during the clash.


    "This is just the beginning, and it''s already so difficult. It seems that finding the Secret Technique of Flowing Sand Transformation Wings won''t be an easy task."

 Chapter 392 - 392

    After feeding a healing pill to Red and allowing it to absorb the remedy, Blaze Regret cast a serious gaze towards the second large gate of the palace. Despite the palace''s intricate complexity, the light emitted from the rock fragment pointed in that direction.


    As they proceeded, Blaze Regret and Red shattered countless stone statues. Blaze Regret seemed indifferent to this time consuming process, as collecting Thunder Soul Beads was never part of his plan. Through the battles with the statues, Red''s aura became increasingly refined, even showing signs of advancing to the lord level.


    Of course, while Blaze Regret felt a surge of joy, he understood that such advancements couldn''t be rushed. The breakthrough from Imperial level to lord level was even more challenging than jumping two tiers consecutively.


    "This palace is more terrifying than I imagined. Earlier, I opened a room door on a whim, only to find the statues inside possessed the power of a fifth tier King level." S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Clutching the rock fragment tightly, Blaze Regret patted his chest, breathing heavily and feeling a sense of relief. He realized that the path indicated by the rock fragment led him through the least defended areas. After the previous lessons, he dared not wander aimlessly anymore. The last encounter was with a fifth tier King Realm entity, and he estimated that other rooms might even house spirit beasts surpassing the King realms.


    Standing before the room where the light was the brightest, Blaze Regret observed the peculiar patterns on the stone door, pursing his lips slightly. He wondered if the secret technique of the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings truly lay behind the door.


    "Let''s hope it doesn''t disappoint me."


    As Blaze Regret pushed open the stone door, he was unaware that several figures in yellow robes had also stepped into the palace at that moment.


    Seeing the shattered statues scattered across the ground, the leader of the group gave a sinister, cold smile.


    "Heh, it seems someone beat us to it."


    "There''s nothing we can do. The Northern Saint Sect was too vast, and it''s normal for some lucky individuals to stumble upon scattered tokens. Just like a few hundred years ago, when our Sand Palace''s founder happened to acquire a token, came to this Northern Saint Sect''s ruins, and found a trace of the Northern Saint Beast''s blood essence and the secret technique of the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings, leading to our powerful rise."


    "Such glory can certainly be recreated through us, the descendants, until we once again dominate the Sun Moon Empire."


    "So, let the little guy who entered first meet his end within."


    "Indeed."


    "Ding ding dang dang!"


    In the vast hall, a fiery yellow figure continuously collided with a pure white figure, the crisp sound of metal clashing echoing ceaselessly.


    Entangled with the Reds was a peculiar rock type spirit beast. It was about the size of a palm, surrounded by mysterious runes, with a crystal clear disc suspended behind its body, emitting a gentle white light, appearing quite exquisite.


    "Master Magi, I''ve never heard of such a spirit beast before," Blaze Regret muttered quietly, his eyes fixed on the white figure.


    "Oh?"


    Floating out from the void realm stone, Master Magi glanced upward, a strange expression quickly appearing on his face. "It''s actually a Turing. This type of spirit beast has long been extinct on the continent. I never expected to have the chance to see one again."


    "An extinct spirit beast..."


    A gleam flashed in Blaze Regret''s eyes. The existence of this continent has stretched over countless ages, and some spirit beasts might vanish completely without a trace. The Turing before him was one such creature.


    However, though it could still launch attacks against the Reds, there was no trace of life left within its body. Clearly, like the statues outside, it was preserved through some special means, merely a lifeless object.


    "Whoosh!"


    The Turing soared into mid air, the crystal disc behind it spinning rapidly. In an instant, a beam of light as thick as an arm shot out, piercing through the air, heading straight for the Reds.


    As the beam descended, a streak of icy blue light suddenly slashed down from the sky. The Ice Control Irenix, with ice wings like a sharp sword, instantly struck the Turing to the ground.


    "Swish!"


    With a slight flicker, it dodged the descending beam. The Four fiery tails of the Reds swiftly extended, hovering in mid air, then sharpened like blades, slashing down fiercely.


    Under such a torrential assault, the Turing''s body shattered with a crack, scattering in all directions. Only the crystal disc rolled towards Blaze Regret, jingling softly before laying still at his feet.


    "This might be the last Turing on the continent."


    Slightly bending over, Blaze Regret picked up the disc from the ground and couldn''t help but sigh with emotion. The passage of time is always something that leaves one helpless, much like how people from the outside world will probably never know that within this ancient land lies a once incredibly glorious palace.


    He lifted his head and looked at the topmost part of the hall, where a glowing orb hovered. On either side of the orb, wings seemed to form, emitting a gentle white light that slowly spread out.


    "This must be the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings."


    With a slight curl of his lips, Blaze Regret was just about to move when a mocking voice suddenly echoed from outside the stone gate.


    "If I were you, I would stand right there obediently."


    Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, four young men in yellow robes walked in with smiles on their faces. Their bodies blocked the stone gate firmly, and the way they looked at Blaze Regret was akin to a cat playing with a mouse.


    Blaze Regret frowned subtly and turned his head, scanning his gaze slightly before his dark eyes settled on the chest of the leading young man.


    There, a pair of ornate yellow wings was engraved.

 Chapter 393 - 393

    "You are from the Sand Palace?" Blaze Regret''s eyes widened in disbelief. This emblem could only belong to disciples of the Sand Palace from hundreds of years ago!


    It was imaginable how shocked Blaze Regret was to see this emblem, which should have disappeared.


    "Sand Palace, heh."


    The leading young man chuckled disdainfully. "Just a small sect, not worth mentioning. Our true identity is as disciples of the Northern Saint Sect, and this palace belongs to our Northern Saint Sect."


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret was taken aback. "Northern Saint Sect?"


    Upon hearing Blaze Regret''s question, the young man who had spoken earlier seemed to have finally found an opportunity to display his superiority. With his hands clasped behind his back, he spoke with an air of arrogance: "The Northern Saint Sect was one of the continent''s overlords a million years ago. The Sand Palace only had the chance to sweep across Sun Moon Empire because it inherited part of its legacy. So, strictly speaking, we are also people of the Northern Saint Sect."


    Blaze Regret couldn''t help but feel speechless. After all this talk, it turned out they were merely descendants of the remnants of the Sand Palace. He had thought they would have a more significant background.


    Ignoring these people, Blaze Regret slightly clenched his hand, grasping the orb of light. The luminous white light transformed into countless light particles, gently scattering, revealing a scroll inscribed with mysterious runes that immediately caught everyone''s attention.


    "The complete Flowing Sand Transformation Wings!"


    The young man who had been about to scold Blaze Regret for his rude behavior screamed in delight when he saw the runes on the scroll: "The Sand Palace''s leader only obtained a fragmented version with many limitations, but this scroll is clearly more powerful!"


    His eyes gleaming with greed, the young man stared at Blaze Regret, speaking with a chilling menace: "Hand over the scroll and the rock fragment you''ve obtained, and I''ll spare your life today. Otherwise, in this place, undetectable by the ancient mirror, we could kill you, and the outside world would never know."


    After speaking, the young man stomped forward forcefully, releasing the powerful pressure of a fourth stage Spirit Lord Master, forcing Blaze Regret back half a step. The others behind him also unleashed their full aura, revealing themselves to be third stage Spirit Lord Masters.


    "Isn''t it said that only those below the level of Spirit Lord Master can enter the ancient mirror space?" Blaze Regret asked in astonishment.


    "Just swallowed a Spirit Suppression Pill," the young man in yellow licked his lips, looking at Blaze Regret with mocking eyes.


    Behind him, spirit beasts appeared one after another. In addition to his fourth stage stone scorpion, the others corresponded to the remaining members of the Four Poisons. Naturally, these spirit beasts were genuinely stone attribute.


    "If you kneel down and beg for mercy, offering the scroll with both hands and showing a bit more respect, I, Wun Ling, might consider accepting you as a disciple of the Northern Saint Sect," the young man in yellow declared haughtily.


    "Otherwise, we''ll drain your blood bit by bit and paint the walls with it!" another person beside him cackled sinisterly.


    "You just said that this place cannot be detected by the outside world, right?" Blaze Regret looked at Wun Ling and suddenly smiled.


    "That''s right," Wun Ling replied with a sneer, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret. "Thin skinned, aren''t you? Afraid to kneel because you don''t want outsiders to see. If you don''t seize this chance to cling to the Northern Saint Sect, your life will end here."


    Hearing Wun Ling once again flaunting the name of the Northern Saint Sect, Blaze Regret chuckled helplessly. "It''s not that I''m worried about that. I''m just a bit concerned about certain people from the outside discovering that I have the strength to kill a fourth stage Spirit Lord Master."


    "But since that''s no longer a concern, I might as well just eliminate you all."


    Blaze Regret''s calm and unruffled voice echoed throughout the grand hall. Initially taken aback, Wun Ling and the others soon found their expressions gradually growing colder.


    Their talents were considered top tier even among the younger generation in Snow Storm City. Coupled with the unique cultivation methods of the Sand Palace, their breakthrough speed was astonishing, fostering a constant sense of superiority. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yet now, a mere ninth level Spirit Imperial Master dared to utter such arrogant words, which undoubtedly made them feel deeply humiliated.


    It was as if a dragon soaring in the sky was being provoked by an ant''s sting.


    "Kneel, slap yourself a thousand times, then break your arms to apologize for your disrespect," Wun Ling said with a sullen expression. From beginning to end, he saw himself as a representative of the Northern Saint Sect, even disregarding major forces in Snow Storm City.


    Thus, he instinctively believed he represented the face of the Northern Saint Sect. Blaze Regret insulting him was equivalent to insulting the sect.


    "You are taking yourself too seriously."


    Blaze Regret toyed with the mysterious rock fragment in his palm and sneered coldly, "Disrespect? What are you even worth? Does the Northern Saint Sect here have anything to do with you? Even Hee Zun, the Palace Master of the Sand Palace, isn''t recognized by the Northern Saint Sect, let alone a few of you defeated strays."


    Taking a step forward, Blaze Regret''s voice, wrapped in spiritual power, thundered like a storm: "Moreover, don''t you claim to be people of the Sand Palace? Hundreds of years ago, Seng Kiando and Kartis Tianli secretly assassinated Hee Zun, leading to the complete decline of the Sand Palace. Why don''t you dare to avenge this?"


    Each of Blaze Regret''s words was like a heavy hammer, repeatedly pounding into the minds of Wun Ling and the others, causing their faces to gradually become contorted with anger.


    As descendants of the few remaining members of the Sand Palace, they were well aware of the real reason behind the fall of Hee Zun, the Sand Palace''s Master.

 Chapter 394 - 394

    Due to their overly arrogant actions at the time, the entire empire resented the Sand Palace. Consequently, Bai Qianli, the old head of the Kartis family, and Seng Kiando, the old sovereign of the imperial family, seized an opportunity when Hee Zun was severely injured and launched a surprise attack with fierce tactics.


    Ultimately, the two managed to kill Hee Zun at the cost of their own severe power decline.


    This incident was a secret not commonly known outside of Snow Storm City.


    It was precisely because of their deep understanding that Wun Ling and the others felt a profound fear. One was the Kartis family, at the peak of its power, and the other was the entrenched royal family. These two colossal forces made it impossible for them to even entertain the thought of revenge.


    Thus, Blaze Regret''s merciless words were akin to ripping open their wounds, instantly igniting a furious killing intent within them.


    "With such cowardice, you still dare to claim to be people of the Northern Saint Sect?" Blaze Regret sneered, showing even greater disdain.


    "I want you dead!"


    With a roar of fury, Wun Ling summoned a massive black shadow that whistled over from above his head, crashing to the ground with a thud. Its eyes glared menacingly at Blaze Regret and Red.


    This was a Barbaric Scorpion, a fourth tier mid level lord grade spirit beast with rock attributes. In the past, only the inner disciples of the Sand Palace were qualified to form contracts with such beasts, indicating its formidable combat power.


    Following the Barbaric Scorpion, the spirit beasts of the other four individuals quickly shot forward, encircling Blaze Regret and Red.


    "I''ll tear your tongue out, piece by piece!" Wun Ling''s eyes were bloodshot, filled with an intense desire to dismember Blaze Regret.


    "One move."


    Observing the situation, Blaze Regret merely shook his head with a smile. A verdant green spiritual portal then materialized beside him, and from it leapt out the petite figure of Ethereal Lotus.


    "Chirp!"


    In an instant, without any hesitation, Ethereal Lotus spun in mid air, and her hand, surging with emerald green spiritual power, slammed heavily onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    In a flash, sharp vines shot up from various points on the rocky floor, their gleaming tips piercing through the bodies of the Barbaric Scorpion and other spirit beasts with lightning speed. The entire grand hall seemed to transform into a dense forest of thorny vines.


    In the midst of the thorny vines, the lifeless bodies of the Barbaric Scorpion and other spirit beasts hung helplessly in the air, with bright red blood trickling down the vines. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Witnessing this scene, Wun Ling and the others were filled with horror. The next moment, countless sharp vines shot up from beneath their feet, penetrating their bodies without any resistance.


    "Ah!"


    Wun Ling''s scream of agony had barely escaped his lips before it was abruptly cut off, as he saw a bloodstained vine protruding from his chest, causing his soul to scatter in terror.


    Standing amidst the verdant forest of thorny vines, Ethereal Lotus straightened up, lightly dusting off her hands with a hum. Such opponents were far inferior to the Giant Wood Demon she had faced earlier, which at least had posed some threat to her.


    "The Sand Palace is completely gone now," Blaze Regret remarked with a detached expression as he glanced around, intending to leave the grand hall with the Flowing Sand Transforming Wings scroll.


    "Clink!"


    However, just as he lifted his foot, a rune etched rock fragment tumbled out from the lifeless Wun Ling''s clothing, its clear sound resonating throughout the hall.


    "Hmm?"


    Blaze Regret''s palm opened slightly, and with a surge of suction, he drew the rock fragment into his hand. After scrutinizing it for a moment, his expression shifted slightly, prompting him to quickly retrieve the rock fragment from the void Realm Stone.


    Wun Ling''s rock fragment had a small protrusion, while his own fragment had a slight indentation in its center.


    "No wonder it always felt like something was missing from this rock fragment."


    With newfound clarity, Blaze Regret aligned the two fragments with a click, and suddenly, they expanded into a spherical shape, akin to a fruit. A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from within.


    "Buzz!"


    In the next moment, the object ascended into the air with a buzz, emitting deep beams of light from the rock sphere that extended to every corner of the hall, gradually forming a complex array pattern.


    In the center of the array, the light flickered slightly, and a brilliant beam shot upward, striking directly at the ceiling of the grand hall. Waves of formidable spiritual energy rapidly spread in all directions.


    As the spiritual energy surged, a majestic beast, woven from beams of light, gradually took form. It stood proudly in the void, its heart pulsating gently with a fiery essence of blood.


    "Boom!"


    "Boom!"


    Blaze Regret''s mouth dropped open in shock as he gazed at the mysterious giant beast. Simultaneously, a flash of light appeared within his void Realm Stone, and Master Magi''s figure swiftly emerged, his expression solemn as he looked up into the air.


    "This is... the Northern Saint Beast..."


    An ancient, imposing beast stood majestically in the void, emanating a powerful aura that seemed to make the surrounding space subtly ripple. Although the beast showed no signs of life, a mere glance was enough to inspire awe and reverence.


    "The Northern Saint Beast."


    Muttering this formidable name, Blaze Regret came to his senses and exhaled a long breath of chill. This ancient and mysterious beast was quite renowned in ancient times. One of the continent''s former rulers, the Northern Saint Sect, had built its illustrious reputation on the back of this spirit beast.


    What truly captured Blaze Regret''s attention was that the Northern Saint Beast contained one third of true dragon blood! Although this amount could not compare to the peak period of the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, it was more than sufficient for Blaze Regret at present.

 Chapter 395 - 395

    If he could obtain a part of it, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros within the third spiritual portal would be able to condense a genuine dragon seal! At that time, within the same tier, no other spirit beast would be able to compete with the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros in strength!


    "Buzz!"


    The Northern Saint Beast in mid air slowly lowered its head, its eyes devoid of any emotion, fixed intently on Blaze Regret. Then, its mouth slightly opened, and from within the swirling essence blood, a thread of blood slowly descended.


    "Snap!"


    The thread of blood snapped and transformed into a drop of rich essence blood in mid air, containing extremely potent energy.


    In the next moment, the essence blood landed in Blaze Regret''s palm, remaining intact, like a tiny droplet of water. It appeared quite miraculous.


    "Roar!"


    A deafening roar echoed throughout the palace. The Northern Saint Beast''s mouth gradually closed, and its body began to fade away, soon to completely vanish from this place.


    At the same time, the rocky sphere formed by the two fragments began to fade visibly, indicating that it would never again be used to summon the Northern Saint Beast. As Blaze Regret watched the giant beast on the verge of disappearing, he pursed his lips slightly. He could sense that with just this single drop of essence blood, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros would be able to condense a true dragon seal. However, if he could extract the entire mass of essence blood...


    Thinking of this, Blaze Regret awkwardly chuckled to himself. It was indeed greedy to want everything, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Securing this single drop of essence blood made the trip worthwhile, and he didn''t even dare to imagine obtaining the entire amount.


    "Hehe, young one, if you desire it, just say so," the Master Magi remarked playfully, noticing Blaze Regret''s inner struggle. "This kind of opportunity is extremely rare. If you miss it, it''s truly gone."


    Hearing this, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the Master Magi with anticipation, resembling an ethereal lotus spotting a fragrant spiritual fruit.


    "Leaving it here would be a waste, so it might as well come out," the Master Magi said, squinting slightly. He raised his palm, and a terrifying suction force instantly surged from his hand, forming what seemed like a golden tornado directed precisely at the Northern Saint Beast''s essence blood.


    "Roar!"


    Sensing the threat, the previously unconscious Northern Saint Beast suddenly showed a trace of madness in its eyes. With a stomp of its hoof, the space below shattered like a glass surface, sending extremely powerful energy crashing toward the Master Magi like thunder.


    "Heh, if you were at your peak, I would certainly have to avoid you for now. But since you have fallen, make one last contribution," the Master Magi chuckled, raising his free left hand. With a sudden change in his seal technique, the space around the Northern Saint Beast compressed inward violently, creating visible wrinkles in the fabric of space.


    "Roar!"


    Caught within the spatial compression, the already ethereal body of the Northern Saint Beast grew even dimmer. The deep lines along its body began to crack and shatter. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Watching this lightning fast clash, Blaze Regret''s eye twitched slightly. This was the power of true strength. Compared to the Master Magi and the Northern Saint Beast, he was still just a novice.


    "Shatter!"


    The Master Magi''s eyes narrowed slightly as the golden dragon whirlwind in his hand suddenly expanded, exerting tremendous force. Under this overwhelming power, the body of the Northern Saint Beast, composed of light, shattered with a crisp crack, dispersing into countless points of light that floated away.


    Amidst this dazzling shower of light, only a mass of scorching essence blood remained floating in place.


    "Cough, cough!" The Master Magi gave a light cough and flicked his sleeve, causing the mass of powerful, pulsating essence blood to slowly descend, landing in front of Blaze Regret.


    Staring dumbfoundedly at the mass of essence blood, Blaze Regret glanced at the drop in his hand. The disparity between the two made him feel as if he were dreaming. Could it really be that all the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast was his?


    "Rumble!"


    Just as Blaze Regret was yet to recover from his excitement, the ground beneath him began to undulate like rolling waves. Even the thorny vines of the ethereal lotus shattered with cracking sounds.


    "It seems that the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast was what kept this Yellow Sand Palace standing. Now that the essence blood is gone, the palace is about to collapse," murmured the Master Magi, snapping Blaze Regret out of his reverie. He quickly leaped onto Red''s back. Such a massive palace collapsing could easily crush even a King realm spirit beast into pulp.


    "Whoosh!" As the Master Magi returned to the void realms stone, Blaze Regret swiftly waved his hand, retrieving the ethereal lotus into his spiritual portal. Then, propelled by Red, he shot out of the palace. Enormous chunks of rock fell behind him, crashing to the ground and creating deep fissures.


    "Boom!" Just as Red''s hind legs cleared the palace entrance, the entire Yellow Sand Palace collapsed with a thunderous crash. A massive spiral whirlwind twisted above the ruins, as if determined to erase the palace''s last vestiges.


    Standing on a distant mountain peak, Blaze Regret gazed at the slowly crumbling ruins with a touch of nostalgia. From now on, perhaps no one would remember the Northern Saint Sect, once a dominant force on the continent.


    "Judging by the time, the Kartis Family''s trial should be concluding soon," Blaze Regret mused, licking his slightly parched lips. From the void realms stone, he retrieved the scroll of the Flowing Sand Transformation Wings and the drop of the Northern Saint Beast''s essence blood, smiling faintly.


    After wrapping up these various matters, it was time to teach that brat Kartis Van a lesson.

 Chapter 396 - 396

    Hopefully, Kartis Sham, who is quite concerned about appearances, won''t lose his composure too much when he witnesses Kartis Van''s sorry state firsthand.


    While Blaze Regret was cultivating the art of transforming sand into wings and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinocerous was refining the essence blood of the Northern Saint Beast, a massive abyss located in a corner of the ancient land was far from peaceful. Countless figures were shuttling through the abyss, with an endless stream of people continuously flocking towards it.


    "Boom!"


    A thick bolt of lightning struck down from the dark, oppressive clouds, resembling a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, dazzling and brilliant. The mountain walls of the abyss below immediately sparkled with dazzling lightning, as if forming a natural world of thunder.


    This place was unmistakably the birth place of the Thunder Soul Bead, known as Thunder Abyss.


    Within Thunder Abyss, countless thunder attribute spiritual beasts resided, the most famous among them being the Thunder Brocade Fish and the Thunder Light Beast.


    These two types of spiritual beasts, though relatively weak in strength, yield a quantity of Thunder Soul Beads upon their defeat that is no less than that of other thunder beasts. Therefore, the Thunder Brocade Fish and the Thunder Light Beast have always been the favorite targets for hunters participating in the trials.


    In this abyss, bloody conflicts often arise over the competition for Thunder Soul Beads. Many individuals even engage in fierce battles for a single Thunder Soul Bead, as collecting more beads significantly increases their chances of ranking among the top three.


    Within the distorted space, a figure clad in a white robe sat quietly atop a massive rock. Within a radius of a thousand meters, no other spirit master was present.


    Even those who saw him immediately kept their distance, fearing to leave a negative impression on him.


    This individual was none other than Kartis Van, the son of Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family.


    "Whoosh~"


    Slowly opening his eyes, the Thunder Light Giant Wolf behind Kartis Van suddenly raised its head and howled towards the sky. A violent surge of spiritual power swept out, sending the thunder attribute spiritual beasts in the surrounding cliffs into a frantic escape.


    "Breakthrough."


    Kartis Van glanced back at the Silver Thunder Wolf, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth. After refining a large number of Thunder Soul Beads, his Silver Thunder Wolf had finally broken through from the ninth tier advanced imperial grade to the first tier intermediate lord grade.

    Its strength soared several times over in an instant.


    Standing up slowly, Kartis Van''s gaze was fixed straight at the entrance of Thunder Abyss, with a mocking smile gradually spreading across his face.


    "What descendant of the Flame Emperor? In the end, you''re nothing more than a stepping stone for me. The pitiful thing is, this stepping stone isn''t even aware of its own insignificance. Do you really think that by elevating yourself to my level, you can prove anything?"


    Kartis Van sneered coldly, "I will use reality to utterly crush you, and make you understand that a country bumpkin from a small place can never stand alongside my name. Pitiful and laughable."


    "Young Master Kartis, have you finished indulging in your delusions?"


    A voice tinged with amusement suddenly came from below, startling Kartis Van. His grim gaze shot downward, landing on the youthful and handsome face of a boy.


    Riding on the back of Red, Blaze Regret smiled warmly as he looked down at Kartis Van. The contrasting gaze between them caused a faint tension to fill the air.


    "I didn''t expect you to actually dare come."


    After a moment of silence, Kartis Van spoke slowly, though his voice was laced with unconcealed mockery, "Bravery commendable, but you seem to be a fool."


    As these words were spoken, the entire Thunder Abyss fell silent. Most of the people present did not recognize Blaze Regret, but from Kartis Van''s tone, they quickly grasped the situation.


    "If you''re going to fight, hurry up. I still have to go to the Thousand Stone Hall to assume my position as honorary elder."


    Blaze Regret smiled slightly, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf had already advanced to the lord grade.


    "You''re not qualified to face me."


    Kartis Van''s lips curled into a sinister smile as he said, "Song Fan, Wun Mon."


    As Kartis Van''s final words fell, two tall figures quietly emerged from the peak of a towering mountain. Their icy gazes locked onto Blaze Regret, sharp and unyielding.


    One bore a rugged mountain tattoo on his chest, while the other had a striking blood eagle mark on his forehead.


    "Song Fan, Wun Mon."


    Blaze Regret''s gaze swept over the two men, and he remarked calmly, "So you''re from Tiger Demon Mountain and Blood Eagle Pavilion. However, it seems that the strength of your ninth tier spirit Imperial master might not be enough."


    "What an arrogant young lad."


    Upon hearing this, Song Fan and Wun Mon didn''t get angry; instead, they smiled sinisterly. As their hands clenched into fists, a blood eagle with outstretched wings and a fierce tiger shrouded in sinister aura swiftly emerged from their spiritual portals.


    With the appearance of these two spiritual beasts, a palpable sense of dread immediately washed over the faces of many in Thunder Abyss.


    The blood eagle circling in the sky, known as the Blood Cry Eagle, was the signature spiritual beast of Blood Eagle Pavilion. Meanwhile, the fierce tiger roaring at the heavens was the Black Fiend Tiger, a beast solely belonging to Tiger Demon Mountain.


    With these two ninth tier advanced Imperial grade spiritual beasts, Song Fan and Wun Mon were undoubtedly strong contenders for a top three spot in this trial.


    "If you can defeat them, then perhaps you might qualify to face me. Otherwise, just roll out of here on your own."

 Chapter 397 - 397

    With his arms crossed over his chest, Kartis Van stood on a protruding rock, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret, as if suggesting that to fight him was a great honor for Blaze Regret.


    Indeed, that was the sentiment in Kartis Van''s heart at this moment.


    "Heh, a mere youngster isn''t worthy of Young Master Kartis''s personal attention. Leave him to us."


    Song Fan and Wun Mon exchanged a glance, both detecting the cold killing intent in the other''s eyes. With sinister smiles, they turned to Blaze Regret, extending their fingers as two fierce gusts of wind rushed toward him.


    "Wait!"


    As the Blood Cry Eagle and Black Fiend Tiger rapidly enlarged in his pupils, Blaze Regret suddenly raised his palm, adopting a stern demeanor.


    "What, are you afraid?"


    Looking down at Blaze Regret with disdain, Song Fan''s lips curled into a sneer, "It''s too late to be afraid now. Offending Young Master Kartis means you''re destined for a bad end."


    "That''s not what I meant."


    Rubbing the back of his head in exasperation, Blaze Regret looked up at the two figures on the mountaintop with curiosity and said, "After this trial, you both will be joining the Kartis Family and taking on their surname, right?"


    "Naturally." Pride washed over the faces of Song Fan and Wun Mon. From then on, they would belong to a top tier force in Snow Storm City, enjoying resources far beyond what they had before.


    "May I ask one more question?"


    Gently stroking his handsome face, Blaze Regret inquired somewhat sheepishly, "Is it a common hobby of your Blood Eagle Pavilion and Tiger Demon Mountain to have two fathers? And in the future, will you take on Kartis Sham''s surname Kartis, or Kartis Van''s surname Kartis?"


    With these words, the thunderous and radiant Thunder Abyss fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the continuous descent of lightning bolts.


    "You seek death!"


    Song Fan and Wun Mon''s faces twisted into expressions of rage. The Blood Cry Eagle and Black Fiend Tiger swooped down ferociously, their claws entwined with spiritual power, poised to tear Blaze Regret to pieces in an instant.


    "Getting angry already? That''s not much fun."


    With a faint smile, Blaze Regret''s eyes suddenly sharpened. His figure shot up into the air like lightning, and his silvery white fists, brimming with violent force, struck the backs of the two spiritual beasts repeatedly.


    "Boom!"


    Like two falling cannonballs, the bodies of the Blood Cry Eagle and Black Fiend Tiger were driven forcefully into the hard rock ground, as astonishing cracks rapidly spread outward.


    Two thunderous booms erupted in the Thunder Abyss, leaving everyone momentarily stunned. The once majestic Blood Crying Eagle and Black Scourge Tiger were suddenly hurled into a deep pit, creating a scene that was both jarring and visually striking.


    As everyone''s gaze slowly lifted, their pupils involuntarily contracted, and their mouths slightly parted in astonishment.


    In mid air, Blaze Regret stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down with a cold expression. Behind him flapped a pair of large wings, adorned with a faint yellow flame, looking both magnificent and mysterious.


    "What¡­ what is happening¡­"


    After a while, someone finally swallowed hard, exclaiming in shock. Blaze Regret could actually fly in the air?


    Isn''t this a technique that only powerful Spirit king Realm experts can barely perform?


    This shocking revelation made them temporarily forget the ferocious way Blaze Regret had just punched the Blood Crying Eagle and Black Scourge Tiger into submission a few moments ago.


    Flying in the air is almost every spirit master''s aspiration, and countless people''s lifelong goal is to achieve that powerful Spirit King Realm!


    "How could this be!"


    In contrast to the shocked crowd, Song Fan and Wun Mon quickly recovered from their daze. They looked at the two spirit beasts twitching in the pit with trembling eyes, an uncontrollable fear surging in their hearts.


    Blaze Regret could seriously injure a ninth level high Imperial grade spirit beast with just one punch? Is he a monster?


    With a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth, Kartis Van''s face looked extremely grim. He had intended for Song Fan and Wun Mon to humiliate Blaze Regret in front of everyone, but now it had given him a chance to showcase his prowess instead.


    Lifting his head, Kartis Van''s eyes were fixed with a sinister gaze on Blaze Regret, who merely smiled faintly and then extended his thumb, pointing slightly downward.


    The atmosphere instantly became tense. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Heh, the descendant of the Flame Emperor indeed has remarkable courage to actually dare to come to Thunder Abyss."


    Outside the ancient mirror, Song Sha''s gaze lingered on Blaze Regret, who had just entered Thunder Abyss, with a mocking smile on his lips. It seemed that the mythical figure would lose face because of his descendant.


    "If this can be called courage, then there are no fools left in the world."


    The master of the Blood Eagle Pavilion, Wun Pilah, gazed at the image in the ancient mirror. A disdainful smirk appeared on his chiseled, shadowy face, as if he could already foresee the tragic fate awaiting Blaze Regret.


    The scenes in the ancient mirror continuously shifted. When Song Fan and Wun Mon both stepped forward to confront Blaze Regret at Kartis Van''s command, an odd atmosphere began to permeate the surrounding audience.


    By now, even those who were previously unaware sensed that the factions led by the Kartis Family did not seem friendly towards the descendant of the Flame Emperor. Could there be a deeper story behind this animosity? While they speculated internally, not one dared to voice their questions. Seeking the truth in such a setting would be akin to courting trouble.


    "Kian, how long do you think Song Fan and Wun Mon can hold out against Blaze Regret?" Kartis Sham turned his head towards the young man beside him, a gentle smile appearing on his face.


    (If you like this novel please support by gift and power stone)

 Chapter 398 - 398

    Kartis Sham was particularly pleased with this young man, as he was his eldest son, Kartis Kian. True to his name, Kartis Kian, a fourth tier Spirit Imperial Master, was considered a prodigious talent within the Kartis Family, leading the younger generation. Even in Snow Storm City, he was regarded as one of the top figures.


    "Three breaths, I suppose," Kartis Kian said with a faint smile on his handsome face. The powerful aura he exuded captivated many young women in the audience.


    It was clear that Kartis Kian was more renowned in Snow Storm City than Kartis Van and others.


    "You have high regard for that young man," Kartis Sham chuckled.


    "The potential of the Three Tail sun Blaze Cat naturally surpasses that of the Blood Crying Eagle and the Black Scourge Tiger. Moreover, according to reports from the ancient lands, not even the Giant Wood Demon, after using the Azure Wood Exquisite Heart, could withstand a single move from it. It stands to reason that this Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat possesses spirit techniques beyond its rank," Kartis Kian commented calmly.


    "Indeed."


    Kartis Sham nodded slightly, evidently pleased with Kartis Kian''s analysis. As he smiled and lifted his head, his hand froze while caressing his teacup. In the image within the ancient mirror, Blaze Regret unfurled a pair of magnificent wings behind him and, in a flash, appeared above the Blood Crying Eagle and the Black Scourge Tiger.


    "Boom!"


    A thunderous sound echoed across the square. Blaze Regret stood in mid air, using just his fists to forcefully smash down the ninth tier high level Imperial grade Blood Crying Eagle and Black Scourge Tiger.


    The thunderous scene rendered the previously noisy audience utterly silent, as if a pin could be heard dropping. Some spectators'' expressions were even more exaggerated than those shocked in the Thunder Abyss.


    "That was incredible!"


    The young women who had been swooning over Kartis Kian moments ago now had their eyes wide open, sparkling stars flickering in their black pupils.


    "Is he even human? He''s like a humanoid spirit beast!" someone exclaimed in astonishment.


    Wun Pilah of the Blood Eagle Pavilion and Song Sha of Tiger Demon Mountain both had grim faces. Their most outstanding young members couldn''t withstand even a single move from Blaze Regret''s fists?


    And Blaze Regret''s Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat hadn''t even made a move yet!


    Their faces, previously full of mocking disdain, were now clouded with gloom. This young man had to be eliminated; otherwise, the Blood Eagle Pavilion and Tiger Demon Mountain would know no peace in the future.


    "Half a breath, it seems I miscalculated."


    Kartis Kian pursed his lips and laughed at himself. "Some people really do take unconventional paths, ignoring the orthodox way of cultivation. The descendant of the Flame Emperor surely knows how to make him proud."


    "There was a silver flash on his fist just now. Although it disappeared quickly, I''m sure I didn''t see it wrong."


    Kartis Sham''s face was sullen. "And those fiery wings, what exactly are they? Blaze Ash, you''ve certainly put in a lot of effort for your incompetent son."


    Gazing at the large wings behind Blaze Regret, Kartis Sham''s thoughts raced. He instinctively thought that Blaze Regret''s current prowess must be the result of Blaze Ash''s helping behind the scenes.

    "However, no matter what, Van''er will not lose. The trump card I gave him hasn''t been revealed yet." Kartis Sham''s sinister smile deepened.


    "Clang!"


    A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, making the already oppressive Thunder Abyss even more stifling. Snaking flashes of lightning quickly slithered along the mountain''s rock walls.


    "It seems I underestimated you after all."


    Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret, his cold voice slowly emerging: "But don''t think that just because you''ve defeated Song Fan and Wun Mon, you have reason to be smug. Your true end is only just beginning."


    "Swoosh!"


    As Kartis Van spoke, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s paws stepped down, and it suddenly charged forward, its fanged maw opened wide and emitting a thunderous wolf howl that echoed through the entire Thunder Abyss.


    Dark clouds continued to gather ominously over Thunder Abyss, with dazzling lightning resembling terrifying giant pythons rolling and tumbling within the cloud layers. The entire space became increasingly violent as energy accumulated within the thunderclouds.


    "Boom!"


    A brilliant flash of lightning pierced through the dim sky, followed by an earth shattering explosion that seemed poised to shatter the entire Thunder Abyss.


    As the lightning struck, the Silver Thunder Wolf shot out suddenly, its sinister eyes fixed intently on Red. Violent electric arcs crackled around its extended claws, which then tore down fiercely.


    The Silver Thunder Wolf''s attack came swiftly. Red tilted its head slightly as the wolf''s sharp claws grazed past its cheek like a flash of lightning, shattering the hard rocky ground beneath with a single strike.


    "Clang! Clang!"


    After a brief skirmish, powerful spiritual energy surged in the claws of both spirit beasts. Each turned around and collided with lightning speed. As the beasts engaged in a frenzied battle, the crisp sound of metal clashing resounded continuously.


    "Silver Thunder Wolf, Thunderclap Claw!"


    Following Kartis Van''s indifferent command, the Silver Thunder Wolf, engaged in combat with Red, took a step back to narrowly evade the incoming fiery claw attack. Its sinister eyes narrowed, and a surge of lightning erupted from its broad right claw.


    "Swish!"


    In the next moment, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s claws slashed down suddenly, tearing three glaring marks into the space before it.


    A medium level lord tier spiritual technique, Thunderclap Claw!


    A fierce rumble of thunder came from above, and Red let out a low growl. Intense flames arose from its claws, with four slender pale yellow streams of light swirling around its body as it fearlessly charged forward.


    "Bang!"


    At the moment of impact, a powerful spiritual energy storm swept across instantly. The small rocks on the surrounding ground shattered with cracking sounds, and even the Thunder Brocade Fish and Thunder Light Beast hovering mid air scrambled to escape in panic amidst the astonishing tremors.

 Chapter 399 - 399

    Some Thunder Brocade Fish, unable to find cover in time, were directly shattered, transforming into three dazzling Thunder Soul Pearls that floated mid air, bobbing up and down.


    "Hiss!"


    Red''s paws skidded back several dozen meter, its sharp claws leaving long, thin cracks on the bluestone ground. In contrast, the Silver Thunder Wolf, wreathed in lightning, only retreated three steps, hinting at the disparity in their clash of power.


    "Heh, I thought you had more up your sleeve, but it seems that''s all there is."


    Kartis Van curled his lip with disdain, a playful smile creeping onto his face. "I wonder if your fire cat can withstand this move."


    "Spirit Technique, Silver Thunder Split!"


    With a fierce stomp, the Silver Thunder Wolf howled towards the sky. Brilliant lightning rapidly gathered at its forehead, and soon, a long, sharp lightning horn was forged.


    Lightning flickered across the horn, exuding an extremely sharp aura.


    "Swish!"


    In a sudden flash, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s razor sharp single horn tore through space instantaneously, hurtling towards Red with the force to shatter rock.


    This fierce strike was powerful enough to cleave a spirit beast of the same rank in half.


    As the Silver Thunder Wolf charged towards it, Red''s expression turned grave. Four fiery tails extended rapidly behind it, crossing in front to withstand the Silver Thunder Wolf''s formidable assault.


    "Clang!"


    With a flash of lightning, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s horn fiercely struck Red''s four fiery tails. Instantly, the four blade like pale yellow tails were forced into a dramatic arc, seemingly ready to break at any moment.


    "Boom!"


    After holding out for a moment, Red could no longer sustain the defense. The one elongated tails, composed of spiritual energy, shattered explosively, the rippling force sending its body flying several meter away.


    Seeing itself gaining the upper hand, a sinister gleam flashed in the Silver Thunder Wolf''s eyes. With lightning encircling its broad claws, it stomped down mercilessly, aiming a powerful strike at the newly grounded Red.


    Catching sight of the Silver Thunder Wolf advancing with momentum from the corner of its eye, Red''s gaze turned steely. Pale yellow spiritual energy surged out from within, and rapidly spinning fire ring spikes flickered continuously around it.


    As its paw struck one of the sharp fire ring spikes, the Silver Thunder Wolf was slightly startled, hastily retreating and steadying itself while fixing a cold gaze on the array of fiery rings surrounding Red.


    At this moment, nine rotating fire ring spikes revolved around Red. Each blazed with fierce flames, and the intense heat caused the air above to waver and distort slightly.


    With a sudden stomp and a clap of its paws, Red gathered the nine spinning fire rings into its palms, aligning them in a formation akin to nine stars in a row. They spun rapidly, emitting a sharp, whistling sound as they cut through the air.


    "Crack!"


    With a slightly serious expression, Red clapped its paws together, instantly merging the nine fire ring spikes into one, forming a large ring about a meter in size. Sharp fire spikes protruded and retracted along its edge.


    As he observed the menacingly spinning giant fire ring in Red''s grasp, a hint of seriousness finally appeared on Kartis Van''s face. From this newly formed fire ring, he could vaguely sense a lethal threat.


    The howling cold wind whipped Kartis Van''s long robe, making it flap loudly, while Blaze Regret''s expression remained as calm as a deep pool.


    The fire ring spikes had once been an indomitable weapon, but as Red grew, they gradually fell behind. However, now with nine rings united, their destructive power rivaled that of the previous Four Tailed Spear.


    "If that''s the case, then there''s no other choice."


    Kartis Van muttered, his face tinged with a faint murderous intent. "Silver Thunder Wolf, use your strongest move to take down that fire Cat."


    "Boom!"


    As Kartis Van spoke, a series of dazzling lightning bolts erupted from within the Silver Thunder Wolf. The writhing thunderclouds above began to descend slowly, a wave of destruction rippling through the entire Thunder Abyss.


    "Get out of here!"


    Feeling the oncoming terrifying aura, the people in Thunder Abyss lost all interest in spectating. A deep fear rose on their faces.


    If they stayed any longer, every one of them risked being obliterated in this thunderous abyss!


    "Howl!"


    The Silver Thunder Wolf cast a disdainful glance at Red before throwing its head back and howling towards the sky. From the dense, dark thunderclouds above, dazzling bolts of lightning descended instantly, striking its body in rapid succession.


    At the same time, a terrifyingly massive phantom of a thunder wolf seemed to manifest behind it, slowly opening its eyes. Those dark green pupils gleamed with an eerie, chilling coldness.


    A massive shadow of lightning, resembling a demonic wolf overlooking the heavens and earth, stood proud behind the Silver Thunder Wolf. Its sharp claws slightly spread open, and the surging thunder underneath distorted the surrounding space slightly.


    This was a high level lord tier spiritual technique: Thunder Image!


    Observing the thunderous giant wolf hovering behind the Silver Thunder Wolf, Blaze Regret''s expression gradually turned serious. Thunder Image was a spiritual technique that only some exceptionally gifted lightning attribute spiritual beasts had the chance to comprehend. Once executed, it could temporarily enhance the spiritual beast''s power and even create some special attack methods.


    It was evident that Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf must have refined a Thunder Image Spirit Crystal.


    Such an extremely rare spirit crystal typically required nearly a million gold coins per piece, and it was still a case of supply not meeting demand. One can imagine how significant the enhancement from the Thunder Image spiritual technique was for lightning attribute spiritual beasts.


    "Blaze Regret is going to fall."


    Many people at the Thunder Abyss entrance shared the same thought. A Silver Thunder Wolf with the Thunder Image spiritual technique could even fight against a first tier high level lord grade spiritual beast. Against the ninth tier high level Imperial grade spiritual spirit beast Red, it could easily crush the opponent.

 Chapter 400 - 400

    "Serves him right!"


    Standing atop the peak, Song Fan and Wun Mon wore sinister smiles. If Blaze Regret''s spiritual beast died, they could easily subdue him with Kartis Van''s help.


    At that moment, they would use the cruelest means to leave Blaze Regret with a lifelong unforgettable impression.


    With a cold glint in their eyes, Red''s sharp claws, enveloped in pale yellow flames, swung fiercely. A massive ring of fire spikes, lined with sharp barbs along the edges, whistled out, carrying an unmatched, scorching gust of wind, slashing violently toward the Silver Thunder Wolf.


    At such speed, even the air seemed to be split apart.


    "Heh."


    Watching Red''s powerful strike, Kartis Van''s lips curled into a mocking smile.


    "Swish!"


    A flash of red light, and the spikes of the fire ring approached the Silver Thunder Wolf''s head like lightning, seemingly about to split its head in half. However, at this moment, a giant thunder claw slowly extended from behind.


    With a crisp sound, the rapidly spinning fire ring was suddenly gripped between the claws of the thunder, and a series of dazzling sparks splattered. The fierce fire ring came to a halt, visibly slowing down to the naked eye.


    "Crack!"


    With a sinister and cold smile tugging at his lips, the Thunder Giant Wolf clenched its paw fiercely. Instantly, fine cracks spread across the surface of the fire spike ring, quickly covering it entirely. With a crisp sound, the ring shattered into clusters of flames, scattering across the rocky ground.


    "Is that all you''ve got?"


    Standing on a massive rock suspended in midair, Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret with a mocking expression. He knew that most of the strong individuals in Snow Storm City were watching this intense battle, so defeating Blaze Regret in front of so many people would undoubtedly be a significant achievement.


    Moreover, after defeating Blaze Regret, he would secure a position among the younger generation. At that time, having defeated the son of the Flame Emperor would also serve as a bragging right.


    "A Silver Thunder Wolf with the Thunder Image is roughly equivalent to a first tier high level lord grade spiritual beast. Using it to defeat my Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, do you feel proud?"


    Blaze Regret''s face showed no trace of anxiety, and there was even a playful look. This unusual behavior made those outside the ancient mirror start to wonder inwardly.


    Could it be that Blaze Regret still had a trump card?


    "Heh, people without strength always like to find one excuse or another, and such people will never achieve anything in life, like you right now!" Kartis Van laughed, his smile full of sarcasm.


    "I think you misunderstand me."


    Shaking his head slightly, Blaze Regret smiled faintly, "There''s no point in bullying the weak. It''s only when the weak overcome the strong that there''s something to be proud of."


    "You?"


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Van shrugged, feigning helplessness. It was hard to imagine that this was the opponent his father had carefully chosen for him. Not only was his strength pathetically weak, but he also seemed to have a problem with arrogance and conceit.


    "Do you know why the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat is named so?"


    Ignoring Kartis Van''s sarcastic tone, Blaze Regret looked at Red, his gentle voice slowly resonating in the Thunder Abyss: "It''s because the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat possesses a special fire, Sun Flame. Before reaching the ninth tier, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat''s spiritual power is too weak to condense a true Sun Flame. But now, it can barely perform it."


    "Pretentious trickery."


    Hearing Blaze Regret''s words, Kartis Van sneered. He had never even heard of something like the Sun Flame, and in front of the Silver Thunder Wolf with Thunder Image, he didn''t believe there was any method that could turn the tables.


    "This is the first time I''m truly using it," Blaze Regret remarked with a faint smile as he opened his palm. The spiritual power from his first spiritual portal surged without reservation towards Red. In an instant, that vast spiritual energy was fully infused into Red''s body.


    As the spiritual power poured in, a blazing sun mark suddenly flickered on Red''s forehead. The intense light drew Kartis Van''s previously disdainful gaze, forcing him to take notice.


    "Roar!"


    With a stomp on the ground, the pale yellow flames on Red''s body surged violently upward. The searing temperature evaporated the surrounding water vapor into nothingness.


    "Whoosh!"


    The raging flames condensed above Red in a frenzy and, to the astonishment of many onlookers, transformed into a blazing sun radiating terrifying energy. Threads of flame clung to its edges, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to boil in response.


    This blazing sun was not part of any spiritual technique. It was purely condensed from the Sun Flame, yet the terrifying aura it emitted subtly suppressed the thunderous giant wolf behind the Silver Thunder Wolf.


    "What... what kind of flame is this?"


    Kartis Van''s eyes widened in shock, his hand clenching tightly. At this moment, a sudden feeling crept into his heart, a sense of impending defeat.


    "Impossible, I, Kartis Van, will never lose to a lowly servant!"


    With a sinister expression on his face, Kartis Van''s low and fierce shout resonated: "Silver Thunder Wolf, use the Gate of Thunder!"


    Hearing the command, the Silver Thunder Wolf hesitated for a moment before gritting its teeth. Its body trembled as the thunderous shadow behind it roared out, twisting rapidly in mid air, and then transformed into a perfectly round Thunder Gate.


    The Thunder Gate was intricately etched with complex lightning patterns, and an extremely violent energy, like a raging tide, emanated from within.


    The intricate and spherical Thunder Gate hovered in mid air, slowly rotating. A deep rumbling sound of thunder echoed in everyone''s ears, causing some with weaker wills to feel dazed under its influence.


    The Thunder Gate was a special spiritual technique created by the Thunder Image, capable of unleashing a terrifying strike in an instant.

 Chapter 401 - 401

    However, after using this technique, the user would not be able to summon the Thunder Image again for the next three months and would be unable to absorb external spiritual energy.


    This meant that Kartis Van''s power would temporarily stagnate.


    Such a significant cost to activate this astonishing spiritual technique clearly demonstrated the intensity of Kartis Van''s intent to kill Blaze Regret.


    "I guarantee, you will die a miserable death!"


    Thinking about the precious three months wasted because of a lowly and humble commoner, Kartis Van''s eyes turned bloodshot, and his heart felt as if it was bleeding. Even some young members of second rate factions might seize this opportunity to surpass him.


    This consequence was something he was unwilling to bear and found hard to accept. However, Blaze Regret''s formidable presence had exceeded his expectations, forcing him to use this trump card.


    "Boom!"


    The moment Kartis Van''s last word fell, the slowly rotating Thunder Gate suddenly flashed with light. Immediately, a thick pillar of thunder burst out from it, shattering the hard bluestone ground below as it passed.


    The dazzling thunder pillar rapidly expanded in his pupils. Red took a deep breath and swung his claws. The blazing sun in the sky began to fall slowly, filling the entire Thunder Abyss with scorching waves.


    In a flash, the thunder pillar and the blazing sun collided violently. Strangely, there was no sound at this moment. The two attacks quietly struck each other, with the energy within both the pillar and the sun rapidly depleting as they tried to erode one another first.


    "Break for me!"


    Standing on a large rock, Kartis Van''s eyes were fiercely glaring downward. Suddenly, a trace of fear flashed across his face because, as the last bit of spiritual energy from the Thunder Gate was exhausted, the sun, burning with pale yellow flames, continued its slow descent.


    The Silver Thunder Wolf''s strongest move had failed!


    As the blazing sun slowly approached, the Silver Thunder Wolf''s fur stood on end, and it attempted to step away from the attack''s range. However, it was horrified to find that the immense pressure emanating from the sun had fixed it in place, rendering it immobile.


    "Stop it!" Kartis Van''s expression changed dramatically as he shouted urgently, "If you withdraw your attack, I promise you a spot among the top three, and the Kartis Family will accept you. But if you kill my Silver Thunder Wolf, the Kartis Family will never rest until one of us is dead!"


    Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret couldn''t help but let out a cold laugh.


    A spot? Only people like Song Fan and Wun Mon would care about such things. Even if it was given to him, he would find it distasteful.


    As for a life and death struggle, from the moment Kartis Sham led people to hunt down his father, hadn''t it already become a fight to the death? Threatening him with such feeble words was utterly laughable.


    "Boom!"


    The enormous blazing sun, like a scorching fireball, mercilessly crushed the Silver Thunder Wolf to the ground. The tidal wave of energy erupted violently at that moment, ravaging everything around it.


    The surrounding mountains trembled slightly, with stones rolling uncontrollably downwards, only to be shattered by the fierce energy before they hit the ground.


    Within the Sun Flame Barrier, Blaze Regret''s eyes were slightly narrowed, but the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.


    No wonder the entire Sun Moon Empire had only seen a Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat once. This spirit beast''s Sun Flame was overwhelmingly domineering. Although Red borrowed partial benefits from Blaze Regret, the Silver Thunder Wolf also had the Thunder Image''s assistance.


    Moreover, for Red, this powerful special flame was just beginning to show its strength. In the future, it might have even broader development potential.


    "Whoosh! Whoosh!"


    As the crimson energy dissipated, the battered Silver Thunder Wolf struggled to stand in the crater. Its once smooth and shiny silver mane was now matted with charred black patches, and grim bloodstains covered its body. Crimson blood dripped from its chin like a light rain.


    As they witnessed the Silver Thunder Wolf''s pitiful state, many faces were filled with disbelief. Kartis Van was considered the most powerful among the younger generation in Snow Storm City. With the Silver Thunder Wolf possessing the Thunder Image spiritual technique, he could even compete with some of the youth. Yet now, he had been defeated by Blaze Regret?


    "Silver Thunder Wolf, return!" Seeing that the Silver Thunder Wolf still had life, Kartis Van''s face lit up with joy. He opened his palm, and a spirit portal surrounded by lightning quickly formed in front of him.


    "Finish it," Blaze Regret said calmly, his voice carrying a hint of coldness.


    If the Silver Thunder Wolf were of the same rank as Red, it would have been obliterated by that terrifying strike. However, a lord grade spirit beast was still a lord grade spirit beast. Even with the Sun Flame, it was challenging for Red, with its ninth rank imperial grade strength, to kill it in one blow.


    But if one strike wasn''t enough, then another would suffice.


    With a gentle roll of its tongue, Red swallowed a Spirit Restoration Pill hidden under its tongue. Instantly, the empty spiritual energy within its body quickly filled up.


    "Swish!"


    A red flash streaked by as Red appeared in front of the Silver Thunder Wolf. Its paw, surging with scorching spiritual energy, struck firmly on the latter''s forehead before it lightly tapped the ground and swiftly retreated.


    At the instant Red''s paw hit the Silver Thunder Wolf, a strong suction force erupted from Kartis Van''s spirit portal, pulling the wolf''s body into the air.


    "Do you think you can kill my Silver Thunder Wolf? Dream on." Kartis Van''s face displayed an arrogant laugh, though deep within his eyes lay a murderous intent. No matter what, he intended for Blaze Regret to die here in the Thunder Abyss today. Z S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 402 - 402

    "You seem to be celebrating a bit too early," Blaze Regret remarked, a trace of mockery in his tone.


    As the Silver Thunder Wolf was lifted into the air, Red, with its paw wrapped in Sun Flame, gently raised it, then stomped fiercely on the ground.


    "Crack! Crack! Crack!"


    Accompanied by several crisp cracking sounds, sharp, pale yellow crystalline spikes suddenly burst out from within the Silver Thunder Wolf, causing its body to freeze in mid air.


    Slender and sharp crystal pillars covered the body of the Silver Thunder Wolf, making it look like a giant spiked ball suspended in mid air, giving off an immensely intimidating aura.


    Warm blood trickled down from the crystal pillars beneath the Silver Thunder Wolf, dripping steadily onto the bluestone ground below, staining it a vivid red.


    Everyone''s gaze was fixed on the body of the Silver Thunder Wolf, which was gradually cooling. At that moment, time seemed to have come to a standstill.


    "So this is the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat."


    The scene in the ancient mirror froze at the moment the Silver Thunder Wolf lost its vitality. Kartis Kian''s sharp nails lightly tapped the armrest beside him, and his eyebrows slowly furrowed.


    It seemed somewhat different from what was anticipated.


    "He must have cheated, how disgraceful!" Kartis Kian, seated towards the back, had her fairly attractive face slightly twisted with anger.


    "Indeed, Blaze Regret must have used some underhanded means. Otherwise, how could he have defeated Kartis Van''s Silver Thunder Wolf!"


    Similar voices erupted among the younger generation of the Kartis family. They were unwilling and afraid to believe that Kartis Van, their leading figure, could be defeated by a ninth tier spirit Imperial master.


    "Silence, all of you!"


    Hearing the commotion from behind, Kartis Sham''s already gloomy expression darkened further. He slammed the table beside him, and the entire plaza fell into a dead silence.


    "Van''er hasn''t lost yet. How disgraceful is all this noise!" Kartis Sham coldly snorted, causing the younger generation of the Kartis family to quickly lower their heads, not daring to even face his back.


    "Hasn''t lost yet..."


    Muttering these words, a glimmer flashed in Mut Lin''s eyes as he softly murmured, "This old fox Kartis Sham is really cunning. I was wondering why, several months ago, he was willing to pay such a high price to buy a fifth grade Soul Falling Flower from my Angsana Pavillion Shop. It seems young Blaze Regret is in for some trouble."


    "Hiss!"


    At that moment, the audience couldn''t help but gasp. In the ancient mirror, Kartis Van was suddenly surrounded by strands of lightning, but the lightning was all a terrifying dark hue.


    "You are good, really good."


    With bloodshot eyes fixed on the Silver Thunder Wolf that had crashed to the ground, Kartis Van gritted his teeth tightly. A sinister grin suddenly spread across his face as he lifted his head to stare directly at Blaze Regret, revealing a set of sharp white teeth.


    "Crackle!"


    As Kartis Van clenched his fist abruptly, a mysterious, dark lightning began to swirl around him. A powerful wave of energy emanated from him, rippling outward in all directions.


    A shadowy black thunder eagle flickered faintly behind him. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "This is..."


    The powerful figures outside the ancient mirror, observing the thunder eagle hovering behind Kartis Van, showed expressions of intense shock on their faces. "Is this the Shadow Thunder Soul, which only the inner elders of the Kartis family can possess?"


    "The weakest Shadow Thunder Soul is at least a second tier high lord grade, right? How could Kartis Van withstand it with his strength before entering the ancient land?"


    "The only explanation is that someone used a Soul Falling Flower to forcibly suppress the power of the Shadow Thunder Soul and then implanted it into Kartis Van''s spiritual core at the opportune moment."


    "That''s too despicable. Even some of the younger generation in the city couldn''t possibly defeat a Shadow Thunder Soul!"


    "Haha, I see it now. The Kartis family invited the descendants of the Flame Emperor this time just to kill him in the Thunder Abyss. It turns out Kartis Sham is just a hypocrite."


    Voices erupted from different directions. Although the Kartis family was considered top tier in Snow storm City, a few independent cultivators, relying on their formidable strength, were not intimidated. Thus, the candid words that followed made Kartis Sham''s face turn an ashen shade instantly.


    "Kill him!"


    Contrary to the excitement of the crowd, a sinister smile appeared on the faces of Song Sha and Wun Xiao. Besides the irreconcilable disputes, they also harbored resentment over Blaze Regret''s previous victories over Song Fan and Wun Mon.


    Therefore, witnessing Kartis Van reveal his powerful trump card brought them considerable satisfaction.


    "Sizzle!"


    The eerie black lightning flickered rapidly across Kartis Van''s body, and the thunder shadow behind him began to solidify. Waves of powerful energy rippled outward swiftly.


    Suspended behind Kartis Van, the thunder shadow was enveloped in a sturdy armor of lightning. Violent lightning surged from its lower body, allowing it to hover in midair despite its lack of legs.


    This spirit beast was unmistakably the Kartis family''s unique spirit beast, the Shadow Thunder Soul.


    It is said that the strongest spirit beast of the Kartis family head, Kartis Sham, is a seventh tier high King Realms Shadow Thunder Soul. With a mere wave of his hand, countless shadowy thunders filled with terrifying spiritual power would descend from the sky, capable of obliterating a ten mile radius into nothingness.


    "Do you realize that awakening the Shadow Thunder Soul prematurely will block my future spiritual path due to the backlash of the shadow thunder, making it difficult to open?" Kartis Van looked at Blaze Regret, his voice calm and soft, yet anyone could detect the underlying chilling murderous intent.


    A silent wolf is the most lethal, unlike a barking dog.


    "I didn''t know."


    Blaze Regret shrugged indifferently. "Even if I knew, so what? It has nothing to do with me. You awakened it yourself. Did I force you?"

 Chapter 403 - 403

    Are you joking? You used every trick to try and kill me and even summoned a Shadow Thunder Soul that doesn''t truly belong to you. Do you expect me to feel guilty?


    Hearing this, Kartis Van''s breathing became slightly rapid, and sinister blood threads climbed in his eyes.


    "Haha, what a sharp tongue you have there."


    Kartis Van''s cheeks trembled slightly as he thought about how his future cultivation path was nearly half ruined because of the person below. His killing intent surged like a raging sea. "I really want to know if you''ll still have that annoying expression when you cry and beg me for mercy."


    "Crash!"


    The pitch black lightning raged within the Thunder Abyss, and the Shadow Thunder Soul''s eyes slowly opened, staring expressionlessly at Blaze Regret. It then stretched out its hand, condensing the lightning into a staff over ten feet long, with ends sharp beyond description.


    "Are you sure you want to use power beyond your capability?" Blaze Regret''s eyes lifted slightly as he coldly regarded Kartis Van.


    "If you have it, use it," Kartis Van sneered, his smile cruel and mocking.


    "Is that so?"


    Lowering his head with a faint smile, Blaze Regret opened his hand and gave a gentle twist beside him. "Then you better be ready to catch it."


    "Playing tricks."


    Blaze Regret''s faint laughter reached his ears, causing Kartis Van to frown slightly. Then he sneered. Could it be that Blaze Regret, like him, also used the Fallen Spirit Flower to seal a spirit beast within the Spiritual portal?


    However, the next moment, the sneer on his face froze. A figure clad in silver armor, with a powerful fist, slowly emerged from the Spiritual portal beside Blaze Regret.


    "Wow!"


    At the instant the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros appeared, the square outside the ancient mirror exploded into a buzz of astonished voices. Many people couldn''t help but stand up, staring incredulously at the indifferent Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros in the mirror''s image.


    What shocked them was not the strength of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, but the fact that Blaze Regret was actually a Dual Source Spiritual Master!


    "A Dual Source Spiritual Master, how is this possible!" Kartis Kian''s face turned pale. In the entire Sun Moon Empire, only the royal monarch Seng Techan was known to be a Dual Source Spiritual Master!


    And now, another one has appeared? Moreover, it''s the arch enemy of the Kartis Family!


    "Oh my god, am I seeing this right, a Dual Source Spiritual Master!"


    "And with an earth attribute that restrains the Shadow Thunder Soul, this is going to be interesting!"


    "That''s not the point. A Dual Source Spiritual Master is as rare as a Spirit Emperor. I''ve dreamed of opening a Spiritual portal with a different attribute!"


    "Keep dreaming; maybe your chances will be slightly better."


    Whispers filled the audience seats from all directions, with many faces full of excitement and anticipation. Only a few factions like Tiger Demon Mountain and Blood Eagle Pavilion sat there with grim expressions.


    "A Dual Source Spiritual Master, even the royal family might have to lower themselves to recruit him now," Won Xiao''s hoarse voice echoed darkly. He knew all too well how enticing a Dual Source Spiritual Master could be.


    "Recruit? That would have to be a living person." Song Sha pushed the woman in his arms away, murderous intent swirling rapidly in his eyes.


    "A Dual Source Spiritual Master."


    Leaning on the chair, gazing at the silver armored Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, Kartis Kian squinted his eyes slightly, a rare chill appearing on his handsome face. "Father, that item might not be attainable for the moment."


    "Not necessarily."


    Kartis Sham''s eyes gleamed with a blade like sharpness. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a low tone, "The earth attribute Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros does counter the Shadow Thunder Soul, but the gap in strength between them is evident. Who is stronger or weaker is still uncertain."


    Kartis Kian nodded noncommittally at his words.


    Let''s hope so; otherwise, I''ll have to take action myself.


    "Zzz!"


    The pitch black lightning flickered along the thunder staff as Kartis Van''s expression gradually turned colder, "So what if you''re a Dual Source Spiritual Master? So what if you have an earth attribute? In the end, you''re just a first tier mid level lord grade. My Shadow Thunder Soul is a second tier high level lord grade, capable of battling even fourth tier mid level lord grade spirit beasts. What chance does your inferior Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros stand?"


    In some places, spirit beasts that do not reach high level grades are branded as inferior, as the gap between mid level and high level is substantial.


    "Inferior?"


    Blaze Regret smiled faintly and turned to the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros, "It seems we''ve been underestimated. Blasting that Shadow Thunder Soul with a single punch shouldn''t be a problem, right?"


    With a calm demeanor, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros nodded slowly, as if it had never considered the formidable Shadow Thunder Soul to be a threat.


    "Foolish dreams," Kartis Van coldly spat out a few words.


    A single punch? Excluding the attribute advantages and tier suppression, the strength of the two spirit beasts was almost evenly matched, yet Blaze Regret dared to claim a single punch would suffice. It was pure fantasy.


    Hearing Kartis Van''s mocking words, Blaze Regret merely lifted the corners of his mouth, showing no intention of rebutting.


    Standing beside Blaze Regret, the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros opened its right palm and then suddenly clenched it. A golden dragon seal seemed to condense at its fist''s edge, and a deep dragon''s roar resounded throughout the entire Thunder Abyss.


    "Roar!" Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The earth shaking dragon''s roar echoed through the mirror, reverberating above the Kartis Family square, leaving everyone stunned was this a reversion to ancestral form?


    "Boom!"


    With a sudden stomp, the ground shattered, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros shot forward like a silver streak of light. Its silver fist, carrying the golden dragon seal, fiercely struck towards the Shadow Thunder Soul. Under this immense power, the air trembled with sonic booms.

 Chapter 404 - 404

    Feeling the overwhelming force approaching, a hint of panic finally appeared in the previously calm eyes of the Shadow Thunder Soul. It quickly raised the thunder staff in its hands to block the incoming silver fist.


    With a loud clang of metal meeting metal, the thunder staff in the Shadow Thunder Soul''s hands shattered with a crack, and the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s fist slammed heavily into its chest.


    "Pu!"


    Blood sprayed from his mouth as the Shadow Thunder Soul''s body was violently propelled backward. Along its trajectory, several massive rocks shattered into pieces, until it finally crashed with a thunderous impact against the mountainside. Instantly, spiderweb like cracks spread rapidly across the mountainside behind it, and its chest caved in deeply, faintly revealing the outline of the dragon seal imprinted there.


    As the crowd observed the Shadow Thunder Soul embedded in the mountainside, utterly motionless, their minds buzzed with disbelief. This was no ordinary spirit beast but a second tier high level lord grade! Even with its attributes being countered, it should have had some chance to resist.


    Yet, under the ferocity of the Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros''s punch, it was nearly obliterated! The atavistic Rock Horned Dragon Rhinoceros was truly terrifying!


    "Crack!"


    The teacup in Kartis Sham''s hand shattered abruptly, spilling tea and a few leaves over his robe. His face turned as dark and ominous as an impending storm, silencing everyone in the Kartis Family behind him, including several elders, who dared not make a sound.


    Decades ago, he was thoroughly suppressed by Blaze Ash, and now, history seemed to be repeating itself with his descendants.


    And this despite the vastly different training environments and resources.


    As Kartis Sham''s face grew darker, ripples suddenly appeared on the expansive ancient mirror. Some of the weaker individuals began to automatically reappear in the square, clearly indicating that the space within was starting to reject them, swiftly transporting out those who didn''t belong.


    "Boom!"


    Suddenly, amid the figures continually appearing in the square, a white silhouette shot out like a cannonball from within the ancient mirror. It hit the ground with such force that it plowed a long furrow with its back.


    Lying on the ground in disarray, Kartis Van had a mud covered footprint prominently imprinted on his chest.


    Clearly, he had been kicked out by someone.


    "Blaze Regret, I will kill you!"


    Clutching his chest where several ribs had been broken, Kartis Van struggled to his feet, his venomous roar echoing loudly.


    Kartis Van''s voice, filled with venomous rage, echoed over the Kartis Family square. Looking at his miserable appearance, many showed sympathy, but more people sneered inwardly.


    "This violent way of doing things is exactly like a mold cast from his father."


    Mut Lin slightly raised his head, gazing at the image in the ancient mirror of Blaze Regret, who flapped his fiery wings and hovered in mid air. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as if recalling those bygone days.


    "Want to get out?"


    Seeing Blaze Regret''s wings flutter behind him, attempting to leave the ancient mirror, Kartis Kian''s face suddenly revealed a gentle smile: "You hurt my second brother; you''d better stay in the Thunder Abyss forever."


    As he spoke, a bright fragment appeared between Kartis Kian''s palms, and with his hand clenching, it shattered with a crack.


    "Not good!"


    In midair, Blaze Regret''s expression suddenly changed. The spiritual vortex before him began to rapidly dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye, which meant he could not leave this ancient place with everyone else!


    "What''s happening?"


    The image in the ancient mirror twisted violently, and moments later, it brightened as if washed clean. Yet, Blaze Regret''s figure froze in the mirror, then vanished in an instant.


    "Kartis Sham, what did you do!"


    Mut Lin abruptly stood up, his eyelids twitching, and his sharp gaze fixed on Kartis Sham. His voice carried an unmistakable chill.


    "Did nothing at all."


    Brushing the tea stained robe, Kartis Sham looked up and smiled faintly at Mut Lin. Although he hadn''t immediately obtained the item from Blaze Regret, as long as it remained in the Thunder Abyss, he had countless ways to extract it in the future.


    Moreover, he could do so without anyone knowing, which was extremely delightful.


    "Kartis Sham, over a decade ago, you took advantage of Blaze Ash''s severe injuries, joining forces with several factions to besiege him, causing his power to plummet and ultimately forcing him out of Snow Storm City. Now, you''re targeting his descendants, setting deadly traps one after another. Have you really forgotten who protected your Kartis Family when the Youguang Empire attacked?"


    Mut Lin''s icy voice resounded across the square, silencing the boisterous crowd instantly. Meanwhile, Song Sha and Wun Xiao''s expressions turned sour, clearly indicating their involvement in the events Mut Lin recounted.


    Silence prevailed throughout the Kartis Family.


    Many present were unaware of the secrets from years past, so Mut Lin''s words undoubtedly had a powerful impact on them.


    "Master Mut, when you speak, you should provide evidence," Kartis Sham said with a calm expression, though his hand hidden in his sleeve trembled slightly. He had never expected that after years of silence, Mut Lin would reveal past events to everyone in Snow Storm City, risking open conflict for the sake of a mere young spiritual Imperial master.


    "Yes, Uncle Mut, I know you have a carefree nature, but some things should not be said recklessly. After all, accusing someone might just be a way to cover one''s own insecurity, don''t you think?" Kartis Kian stood up, looking at Mut Lin with a gentle smile.


    "Kian''er, stand down. This is not your place to speak," Kartis Sham said, secretly admiring Kartis Kian''s intervention but maintaining a fa?ade of sternness.


    "Could it be that Angsana Pavillion is the hidden hand trying to divert trouble to the Kartis Family?"


    "It''s not impossible. The Kartis Family''s rapid development has made some people wary, but they dare not act openly, resorting instead to underhanded tactics." Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

 Chapter 405 - 405

    "I see. I was wondering why there was a sudden attack; it turns out there''s this connection."


    With some people''s deliberate guidance, suspicions began to shift subtly towards Angsana Pavillion, causing Stone Yee and his companions to look rather displeased.


    "Master Mut, you know this ancient mirror has been around for a long time, and some minor issues are unavoidable. Let''s wait a while longer; perhaps Nephew Blaze Regret will emerge soon," Kartis Sham said, feigning good intentions.


    "Sit down."


    With no trace of anger on his face, Mut Lin sat back down slowly, his serene demeanor suggesting that the crowd''s discussions did not affect him in the slightest.


    "Master, should we secretly take care of those who just tried to incite trouble?" Stone Yee asked in a low voice, his cold, old eyes scanning the audience.


    "They''re just dogs who''ve thrown in with the Kartis Family."


    Mut Lin''s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the ancient mirror, sighing inwardly. He hoped nothing unexpected would happen; otherwise, the trust placed in him by old friends would be in vain.


    "Look at that, seems they''re guilty, too afraid even to refute. If you''re going to make up lies, at least make them believable to avoid getting exposed on the spot."


    "Indeed, those hypocrites at Angsana Pavillion should learn their lesson. They act like Snow Storm City is their own backyard, doing business to the point of foolishness."


    "Don''t say that. If the royal family hears about it, the consequences could be dire. People who don''t know better might think they''re trying to overthrow the royal family and dominate Sun Moon, just like the Sand Palace attempted back in the day."


    Seeing that the Angsana Pavillion remained silent, some individuals secretly grew more brazen in their provocations. With the Kartis Family behind them, the more they stirred the pot, the more they could curry favor with the Kartis Family.


    "Wut Tong from Eight Mile Alley and Lord Feng from Listening Wind Tower are really bold. If it weren''t for Blaze Ash''s pity buying them from slave traders back then, they wouldn''t be where they are today." Hearing the increasingly outrageous comments, even Mut Lin''s usually refined demeanor showed a hint of coldness.


    "A mere fourth tier spiritual Lord master calling himself ''Lord''? What a joke," Stone Yee sneered. With so many people present, they couldn''t act rashly. If they killed those two, Angsana Pavillion would be unable to clear their name, no matter how hard they tried.


    This is likely exactly what the Kartis Family hopes to see.


    "Kian''er, you''ve truly matured over the years." Seeing the situation turn in their favor, Kartis Sham felt elated. Although Kartis Van was disappointing, his eldest son Kartis Kian excelled in both strength and cunning.


    "A small trick, nothing more," Kartis Kian replied with a smile, nodding as he lazily reclined on his chair. By now, he thought, Blaze Regret must have already crumbled in the Thunder Abyss.


    "Perish in the Thunder Abyss." Kartis Kai, Kartis Ben, and others wore cold smiles. Even if they hadn''t killed Blaze Regret themselves, they were quite satisfied with this outcome.


    "Young Master..."


    A young man from the Kartis Family approached the bloodied Kartis Van, trying to help him up, but Kartis Van angrily shrugged him off, refusing the help. His eyes, cold and filled with madness, fixated on the ancient mirror.


    "Blaze Regret, I swear, if you don''t die, I will personally take your life!"


    A massive bolt of lightning tore through the slightly dim sky. The dark, oppressive thunder clouds seemed to be about to descend. Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, causing the few withered yellow branches in the Thunder Abyss to tremble violently.


    "Damn it!"


    Standing in mid air, Blaze Regret looked at the scene in the mirror before him. His eyes, as dark as night, were filled with rising anger. His gaze slowly swept over, as if he wanted to remember every face of those gloating at him.


    At this moment, the people outside the ancient mirror could not see the scene within the Thunder Abyss. However, Blaze Regret could perceive the outside world, a complete reversal from before.

    "This is quite troublesome."


    Floating beside Blaze Regret, Master Magi sighed softly, "This ancient mirror can only be opened at specific times. If you want to go out again, I''m afraid you''ll have to wait three years."


    "Three years?" Blaze Regret''s face turned extremely grim. Not to mention three years, he couldn''t even stay for three months. This barren place was devoid of human habitation, and he couldn''t find even the most basic environment for cultivation.


    "Is there any other way?" Blaze Regret asked Master Magi unwillingly.


    "There is indeed a way."


    After a brief pause, Master Magi slowly nodded, "As long as you use the power that surpasses a fifth order King Realms spirit beast to strike the inner side of the mirror, you can temporarily create a spatial vortex to escape from here. Perhaps, I could give it a try."


    "This method won''t work."


    Without even thinking, Blaze Regret decisively rejected this proposal. Although they could leave, Master Magi would definitely be exposed to everyone''s view. At that time, the situation for both him and Master Magi would become extremely perilous.


    Even though he didn''t know the limits of Master Magi''s power, it probably wasn''t enough to contend with a Spirit King. Who knows if there are any reclusive old monsters hidden in Snow Storm City.


    "Boom!"


    As Blaze Regret furrowed his brows in thought, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly branched out in all directions, seemingly filling the entire sky.


    "That''s it."


    Suddenly enlightened, Blaze Regret quickly retrieved a pendant from the void realms stone, tearing away the excess parts until only a deep star dragon pearl lay quietly in his palm. "Master Magi, you mentioned that this thing can store an immense amount of energy, right?"


    Upon hearing this, Master Magi was initially taken aback but soon nodded with a smile, "Of course, not only can it absorb the lightning from this abyss, but it can also take in a thousand or even ten thousand times more energy. However, as its bearer, your body might endure immense pain."

 Chapter 406 - 406

    "No problem."


    Blaze Regret lightly licked his lips and looked up at the dark, oppressive sky, a mad smile appearing on his face, "If I can''t withstand a bit of pain now, how will I ever leave the Sun Moon Empire and see the outside world?"


    Seeing the smile on Blaze Regret''s face, a look of comfort flashed in Master Magi''s eyes. With a swift movement, he retreated a thousand feet, having already guessed what Blaze Regret was about to do.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a flap of his wings, Blaze Regret suddenly soared into the sky. The spiritual power within him surged rapidly into the Star Dragon Pearl, and instantly, strange patterns began to spread across the deep surface of the pearl.


    "Thunder, come!"


    With a low, fierce shout, Blaze Regret raised the Star Dragon Pearl high. The dark thunder clouds above contracted, and then bolts of lightning, filled with violent spiritual power, fell from the sky, converging toward the Star Dragon Pearl.


    From a distance, the dazzling lightning seemed to form a massive tornado, with Blaze Regret''s small figure at its base.


    "Spurt!"


    As his internal energy and blood surged tumultuously, Blaze Regret spat out a mouthful of blood. The hand holding the Star Dragon Pearl was also shaken, causing fine blood cracks to appear, yet his gaze remained unwaveringly determined.


    Meanwhile, the lightning from the surrounding cliffs crackled and surged, entering the Star Dragon Pearl. Even the thunder beasts exploded one by one, transforming into bright thunder soul pearls that floated in all directions.


    This scene continued for nearly half a quarter of an hour until the dark thunder clouds in the sky almost dissipated. Only then did Blaze Regret finally succumb, falling headlong from the sky.


    "Whoosh!"


    With a fierce flap of his wings, Blaze Regret barely managed to slow down his fall just before hitting the ground. He then stepped down, landing heavily on the earth, his body covered in blood and riddled with fine wounds everywhere.


    "It''s done."


    Looking at the deep Star Dragon Pearl with the faint glimmers of lightning inside, a relieved smile tugged painfully at the corners of Blaze Regret''s mouth. He could sense that if the spiritual energy within were to erupt, even some Spirit King Realm experts would have to avoid its edge.


    This was the thunder energy from the entire Thunder Abyss!


    "Collect!" Master Magi floated beside Blaze Regret, his sleeve flicked lightly as spiritual energy swept over, gathering the fist sized thunder soul pearls into a dazzling river of lightning swirling around Blaze Regret. Each pearl radiated abundant spiritual power.


    Thunder soul pearls are special spiritual objects that can accelerate the cultivation of lightning type spirit beasts, making them invaluable treasures for the Kartis Family.


    If not for the restriction that prevents anyone below the Spirit Imperial Master level from entering, the Kartis Family could potentially acquire large quantities of thunder soul pearls each year. With this cultivation tool, it wouldn''t be impossible for their overall strength to one day surpass the royal family.


    "The Kartis Family has certainly planned well. The thunder soul pearls gained from each trial must exceed the resources they distribute for cultivation," Blaze Regret thought to himself, cursing under his breath. The notion of recruiting talents seemed like a mere facade, with obtaining thunder soul pearls being the true purpose of each trial.


    "However, the Star Dragon Pearl''s absorption capability is too domineering. In the future, perhaps not even a trace of lightning will be born again in the Thunder Abyss," Master Magi chuckled.


    "That would be delightful. I wonder if Kartis Sham will be furious when he hears this news," Blaze Regret replied, grinning mischievously. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed as his wings fluttered, and he dashed into the air.


    There, as the dark clouds parted, a spiritual light orb gradually became visible.


    "A page?"


    Grabbing the light orb in his hand, Blaze Regret descended to the ground, curiously observing the gently undulating golden page within the orb. Beside him, Master Magi''s mouth twitched with irritation.


    "This is simply unfair. Back in the day, I was minding my own business and got torn into several parts for no reason. If I could have beaten them..." Master Magi grumbled, lacking his usual calm demeanor.


    "Didn''t you sense it?" Blaze Regret asked with a peculiar expression, recalling how Master Magi had first detected the page in Hildan Town.


    "It was sealed," Master Magi replied, snatching the page and breathing slightly heavily. "This contains one of my spiritual techniques. Although refining it won''t boost our power, not even a Spirit King could catch up to us."


    "Master Magi, in the future, I''ll help you get your revenge," Blaze Regret said solemnly, his eyes darkening with determination.


    "Please don''t. That couple, each is more formidable than the other, and besides..." Master Magi''s voice gradually weakened, eventually falling silent as he swiftly retreated back into the void realms stone.


    With a resigned shrug, Blaze Regret gently caressed the Star Dragon Pearl, which flickered with lightning. He looked up at the enormous mirror in mid air, a cold smile slowly spreading across his face.


    "The Kartis Family, without you, life in Snow Storm City might be quite dull. Since you have initiated this war, the decision of when it ends is no longer in your hands."


    "Master Kartis, just waiting here like this isn''t a solution. What if that boy dies in the Thunder Abyss? Are we supposed to wait here forever?"


    On the plaza, the deep voice of Song Sha slowly broke the long standing silence. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What Master Song Sha says is true, Master Kartis. It''s better to distribute the trial rewards now."


    Hearing Song Sha speak, Wun Xiao also said hoarsely. They were here merely to use the trial as a pretext to send Song Fan and Wun Mon into the Kartis Family, thereby strengthening the relationship between the families. As for Blaze Regret, they didn''t really care much about him.

    Just a mere spiritual Imperial master, they thought. If they found the right opportunity, they could easily eliminate him without concern, unlike Kartis Sham, who had many reservations.


    "That''s right."


    After a brief contemplation, Kartis Sham nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, a large cluster of spiritual light spheres floated into the air, each containing a different item. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Looking at those light spheres, many young people in the area couldn''t help but swallow. A first class power is indeed a first class power; casually taking out some items was enough to drive many people mad.


    However, they all understood that the majority of these items would go to the top three, like Song Fan and Wun Mon, with only a few individuals able to exchange some with the Thunder Soul Beads.


    This could be seen as keeping resources within the family, as Song Fan and others would eventually become members of the Kartis Family. Because of this, Kartis Sham always appeared extraordinarily generous.


    "Song Fan, 321 Thunder Soul Beads; Wun Mon, 314 Thunder Soul Beads; Zul Yuan, 487 Thunder Soul Beads."


    As the counting concluded, Kartis Ben''s old voice echoed across the entire plaza. All eyes instantly focused on an inconspicuous figure, where a young man with his shirt covering his nose stood, that was Zul Yuan.


    "How could this be?" Song Fan looked incredulous. He always thought he was the leader, so where did this unremarkable Zul Yuan come from?


    Under the gaze of many, the young man named Zul Yuan remained indifferent, as if the attention was not directed at him at all.


    "A first tier spirit Lord master, huh?" Kartis Kian gently rubbed the rim of his teacup with his fingertips. It seemed that the greatest gain from entering the ancient land this time was this person.


    However, after just a glance at Zul Yuan, Kartis Kian withdrew his gaze. A first tier spirit Lord master was still far beneath him.


    "Now, each of you can choose ten items at will." Kartis Ben nodded with satisfaction, his voice carrying a hint of a smile resonating through the air.


    Just as Kartis Ben''s voice fell, a huge mirror suddenly exploded with a thunderous boom. Immediately following, a dazzling light shot out from it, crashing heavily onto the ground.


    "Boom!"


    The violent thunderlight spread out along the deep pit, and in the center of that pit, a tall figure slowly straightened up. He glanced at Kartis Ben and then, with a slightly amused look, his gaze settled on Kartis Sham. "Uncle Kartis, shouldn''t you throw away this broken mirror? It seems to have constant issues."


    Seeing the suddenly appearing Blaze Regret, Kartis Sham was slightly startled but quickly forced a warm smile onto his face. "Nephew Blaze, I''ve been waiting for you. If you hadn''t come out, I was thinking of going in to find you."


    "Really?" Blaze Regret smiled, showing no sign of anger. Although both of them harbored intentions of killing each other, completely tearing off the facade would not benefit him. After all, there was plenty of time in the future.


    Gazing at the smile on Blaze Regret''s face, Kartis Sham intertwined his fingers, his expression fluctuating between light and dark. If Blaze Regret had been the first to act, he would have had a reason to attack. However, this nonchalant attitude left him feeling like he was punching at air, extremely uncomfortable.


    "He actually held back." Stone Yee clicked his tongue lightly. Having witnessed the boy''s resolute methods before, he found it somewhat difficult to adapt.


    "Held back? Not necessarily."


    Mut Lin chuckled and shook his head. "You forget, when Blaze Ash first broke through to a spiritual King realms master, he received a palm strike from Zon Gang, the head of the Demon Water Mountain and a second tier spiritual King Realms master. It seemed fine at the time, but a month later, people from Demon Water Mountain were killed completely. Two years later, even Zon Gang died at Blaze Ash''s hands."


    Upon hearing this, Stone Yee shivered involuntarily. He suddenly remembered that the young man in the field was the descendant of that ruthless figure.


    "Now I finally understand why a group of old guys would go after such a minor spirit Imperial master. If allowed to grow, the events at Demon Water Mountain would likely replay themselves with them." Stone Yee sighed, while Gen Yun, standing beside Mut Lin, looked extremely grim.


    "Elder Kartis, these rewards are claimed based on rank, right?" Blaze Regret looked at Kartis Ben, his expression quite gentle.


    "The top three may each choose ten rewards. Of course, after entering the Kartis Family, those with higher ranks will enjoy more cultivation resources. As for the others, they can exchange one reward for every one hundred Thunder Soul Beads," Kartis Ben explained in a cold tone, suppressing his inner murderous intent.


    Hearing Kartis Ben''s explanation, Blaze Regret nodded slightly. It seemed that only the top three could really enjoy the benefits. The others would likely have to scrape together their resources to exchange for a few limited items.


    However...


    With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Blaze Regret lightly flicked an Void realms stone. Instantly, a wide, dazzling river of thunder flowed slowly across the sky, stretching for hundreds of meters.


    The thunder river was entirely composed of Thunder Soul Beads!


    As soon as the thunder river appeared, everyone''s eyes widened little by little. The sight of hundreds of thousands of Thunder Soul Beads piled together was simply overwhelming.


    "How could this be..."


    Even Kartis Sham was momentarily taken aback by the sheer number of Thunder Soul Beads, despite having refined countless beads over the years. At this moment, he couldn''t help but feel a sense of shock.


    "Did he move the entire Thunder Abyss here?" Kartis Van''s eye twitched slightly, and a trace of fervor rose on his face. Refining such a massive amount of Thunder Soul Beads could potentially allow even a Spirit King to make contact.

 Chapter 408 - 408

    The greed in his heart fueled his murderous intent towards Blaze Regret even further. The Shadow Thunder Spirit had only been severely injured, and with enough Thunder Soul Beads to support it, it wouldn''t take long to restore it to peak condition.


    "The first place spot is yours. Now, you may choose any ten items," Kartis Ben said in a deep voice, suppressing his inner astonishment.


    "Elder Kartis, that''s not quite fair, is it?"


    Lifting his head, Blaze Regret said with a cheerful smile, "Let''s exchange these items at the rate of one item per hundred Thunder Soul Beads."


    The dazzling Thunder Soul Beads hung like a river above Blaze Regret''s head, slowly undulating. To the naked eye, it was spectacular. Compared to this river, the sparse Thunder Soul Beads in front of Song Fan and the others seemed particularly awkward. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Exchange them all?"


    The corners of Kartis Ben''s aged face twitched slightly, and his expression was a bit stiff. Considering that it takes one hundred Thunder Soul Beads to exchange for a reward, even if Kartis Sham took out all his items and exchanged them for Thunder Soul Beads, it wouldn''t necessarily shorten that river of beads by half.


    Seeing Kartis Ben''s troubled expression, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Blaze Regret''s mouth. Isn''t your Kartis Family known for its wealth and power? Even if you stake your entire family, you might not be able to match my river of thunder.


    The value of a single Thunder Soul Bead is no less than any second grade spiritual medicine!


    "Blaze Regret..."


    Sitting next to Kartis Sham, Kartis Kian''s gaze was as sharp as a cold blade, staring at the figure under the river of thunder. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Blaze Regret was deliberately trying to embarrass the Kartis Family.


    "Young Blaze, how did you get so many Thunder Soul Beads?" Kartis Sham''s eyes were filled with intense heat. He knew better than anyone the value of the Thunder Soul Beads. However, each time the ancient land opened, the Kartis Family could only acquire a few thousand. But now, such a massive quantity was enough to forge a Spirit King!


    "Just by chance," Blaze Regret replied with a smile, though he sighed inwardly. If he had a thunder attribute spirit beast, coupled with this river formed from the entirety of the Thunder Abyss, his breakthrough speed would be astonishingly rapid.


    However, if Kartis Sham discovered that Blaze Regret had destroyed the Kartis Family''s source of Thunder Soul Beads, who knows if he would go mad.


    "Since there are fifty four light clusters here, I will not stand on ceremony."


    Turning his head, Blaze Regret smiled and spread his palm. A suction force erupted, pulling all the floating light clusters into his grasp. As for Kartis Ben standing there, his expression was extremely gloomy.


    Although the value of the Thunder Soul Beads wasn''t lower than the rewards Kartis Sham offered, Blaze Regret''s Thunder Soul Beads were obtained from the trials, and in tens of thousands. The thought made Kartis Ben feel aggrieved.


    Seeing Blaze Regret collect all the light clusters into the Void realms stone, Song Fan and the others blushed with anger. These rewards should have been theirs, but now not a single one remained, making them feel like clowns.


    "Here are fifty four thousand Thunder Soul Beads in total, Elder Kartis, please accept them."


    With a casual wave of his hand, Blaze Regret sent a pile of Thunder Soul Beads in front of Kartis Ben, smiling faintly. He then opened the Void Realms stone and, under many greedy gazes, stored the entire river of thunder within.


    Watching Blaze Regret''s smiling face, Kartis Ben gritted his teeth. This trial was originally meant to boost Kartis Van''s reputation, to let other factions know that the Kartis Family had such a talented new Spirit Master. However, it turned into a complete joke, leaving Kartis Van, standing in the corner, completely ignored.


    Defeating Kartis Van, being a dual source spirit master, and gathering beads into a river, all these feats made the spotlight shift to a different protagonist today.


    Moreover, this protagonist was the descendant of the Kartis Family''s sworn enemy.


    "You''re really a troublemaker," Mut Lin chuckled, looking at Blaze Regret. He had a feeling that the future of Snow Storm City might see a new storm because of this young man''s arrival, and this storm wouldn''t take long to come.


    "Please make way."


    Suddenly, a cold voice resonated from the entrance of the Kartis Family residence. Following the voice, a tall figure dressed in simple attire slowly walked in. He briefly glanced at Kartis Kian, whose face was devoid of expression, and then his gaze settled on Blaze Regret.


    "Zon Kerol, what''s he doing here?" Kartis Kian muttered softly, slightly furrowing his brow.


    "Zon Kerol, ranked second on the Frost Ice List, the last time I saw him was half a year ago!"


    "Is that Zon Kerol? He truly lives up to his name. I''ve heard he recently broke through to the fifth tier Spirit Lord Master!"


    "A fifth tier Spirit Lord Master! My goodness, that''s enough to rival elders of some top tier factions."


    While the older generation managed to maintain their composure, the younger crowd, including the youths, quickly erupted into a flurry of excitement. The name Zon Kerol loomed like a towering mountain, solid and unassailable, among their generation.


    "Brother Kerol''s personal visit, why didn''t you inform us in advance?" Kartis Kian stood up, smiling as he cupped his hands in greeting.


    "Uninvited, I hope Brother Kartis and the head of the Kartis Family won''t hold it against me," Zon Kerol replied, also cupping his hands. He even showed a gesture of respect to Kartis Sham, who was seated.


    Of course, this gesture didn''t imply that Zon Kerol had a particularly close relationship with the Kartis Family; it was merely a show of basic courtesy.


    "Blaze Regret."


    With a slight shift of his gaze, Zon Kerol stared intently at Blaze Regret''s face, remaining silent. This peculiar scene left the gathered crowd somewhat puzzled.


    Logically speaking, even if Blaze Regret had defeated Kartis Van, it shouldn''t have caught Zon Kerol''s attention, as the gap between someone of Kartis Van''s caliber and Zon Kerol was vast, akin to a chasm.


    In Snow Storm City, each generation has its own sphere, and only individuals like Kartis Kian and Fin Sham have the standing to be on par with Zon Kerol.


    "This is an invitation to the All Star Banquet."


    After a brief silence, Zon Kerol flicked his hand, sending an invitation card, seemingly made of ice, shooting toward Blaze Regret with a sharp, piercing sound.


    "Snap!"


    Reaching out, Blaze Regret caught the invitation, his arm subtly shaking from the impact. As expected of a fifth tier Spirit Lord Master, even the residual force made his blood surge. It was no wonder that Zon Kerol was so renowned in Snow Storm City.


    "The All Star Banquet?"


    As Blaze Regret examined the invitation, the young generation present erupted in astonishment. While the younger crowd might be unaware, the older youth understood the significance of the All Star Banquet. It was an event reserved only for the elite among the youth!


    What merits did Blaze Regret possess to earn an invitation to such a prestigious event?


    "Brother Kerol, isn''t this a bit irregular?" Kartis Kian remarked coldly, casting a disdainful glance at Blaze Regret without bothering to hide his contempt.


    In the corner, Kartis Van''s tightly clenched fists trembled slightly. The All Star Banquet was a gathering he couldn''t even dream of attending, yet Blaze Regret, someone he considered a lowly inferior, received an invitation from Zon Kerol?


    "Brother Kartis, honestly, I don''t quite understand it myself. But the person who extended the invitation is someone I truly can''t afford to offend," Zon Kerol replied with a faint smile.


    "Who?" Kartis Kian''s brows furrowed. There were few who could make Zon Kerol speak in such a manner.


    "That person, you actually know as well."


    A hint of amusement flickered in Zon Kerol''s eyes as he revealed, "The royal family, Nor Amelia."


    "Royalty, Nor Amelia."


    When Zon Kerol''s voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, spread across the square, many people held their breath slightly, and Kartis Kian''s face was filled with disbelief.


    "Nor Amelia..."


    Silently repeating the name in his heart, Blaze Regret''s lips curled into a slight smile, as the memories buried deep within him surged forth like a tidal wave.


    Meeting that girl was probably the greatest gain he had since leaving Velorian City.


    "It turns out to be an invitation from royalty. A Dual Source Spiritual Master indeed has this qualification." Kartis Kian glanced sideways at Blaze Regret. The words "Dual Source Spiritual Master" were uttered with a loud emphasis, as if without this status, Blaze Regret would not be worthy of an invitation to the All Star Banquet.

 Chapter 409 - 409 Final

    "I have delivered the message, Master Kartis, Brother Kartis, I shall take my leave." Zon Kerol cast a meaningful glance at Blaze Regret before turning around and walking out of the Kartis Family residence.


    "What exactly is your relationship with Nor Amelia?" Kartis Kian stared at Zon Kerol''s retreating figure, then turned his gaze to Blaze Regret, his tone filled with accusation.


    Upon hearing Kartis Kian''s question, many people wore amused expressions. Kartis Kian''s repeated pursuits of Nor Amelia, only to be repeatedly rejected, was no longer a secret in Snow Storm City.


    That girl in black, like a black lotus growing in the abyss, could only be admired from afar but never approached. Not even a genius like Kartis Kian could make her spare him a glance.


    "What does my business have to do with you?" Blaze Regret lazily rubbed his face. Even from a distance, he could clearly sense the jealousy in Kartis Kian''s words.


    As soon as Blaze Regret finished speaking, the young generation present was momentarily speechless. They looked at Blaze Regret in disbelief, feeling a sense of suffocation. That was Kartis Kian, the fourth ranked individual on the Ice List!


    Even Kartis Van, on ordinary days, wouldn''t dare to speak to Kartis Kian in such a manner!


    "You better know who is standing in front of you." Kartis Kian''s face darkened like water upon seeing Blaze Regret''s demeanor. If it weren''t for the significant age difference, he would have wanted to strike him down on the spot.


    "Kian er," Kartis Sham slightly frowned and spoke calmly.


    "Hmph."


    With a cold snort, Kartis Kian glared at Blaze Regret, his eyes icy as he sat down. Over the years, Blaze Regret was the first to speak to him in such a manner.


    Thus, sooner or later, he would make Blaze Regret understand the price of disrespecting him.


    "Alright then, Master Kartis, Blaze Regret is an honorary elder of the Thousand Stone Hall under my command. If there is nothing else, I will take him back to assume his duties." Mut Lin stood up, smiling broadly, with none of the previous tension.


    "Then congratulations to the Angsana Pavilion on gaining another fourth grade alchemist." Kartis Sham also stood up, cupped his hands with a friendly expression.


    "Old fox."


    As they observed the two individuals whose expressions changed faster than one could flip a book, everyone present couldn''t help but harbor secret criticisms in their hearts. However, they also understood that maintaining a facade of harmony between two equally powerful forces was absolutely necessary.


    Otherwise, if conflict truly erupted, it would only result in other factions taking advantage and reaping the benefits.


    "Blaze Regret, let''s go."


    As he walked over to Blaze Regret, Mut Lin gently patted his shoulder, his expression one of great satisfaction. Defeating Kartis Van with the strength of a ninth level spiritual Imperial master was indeed worthy of being the descendant of an old friend.


    Watching the backs of Mut Lin and the others, a sharp glint flickered deep within Kartis Sham''s eyes. In the instant Blaze Regret emerged from the ancient mirror, he clearly caught sight of the deep, mysterious orb in the latter''s hand.


    "No wonder he could escape from the ancient mirror; he relied on that orb." Kartis Sham''s lips curled into a sinister smile. Having seen it, he had no reason to let it go.


    "Father, at the All Star Banquet, I will find a way to get that orb," Kartis Kian said with a calm voice, but anyone could hear the coldness in his words.


    His intent to kill Blaze Regret was now evident.


    Daring to meddle with Nor Amelia was reason enough for him to want Blaze Regret gone.


    "Hehe, with Mut Lin here earlier, forcibly detaining someone was obviously unrealistic. However, I want that orb, but as for the person, I don''t want to see him ever again," Kartis Sham''s chilling voice slowly resonated.


    Upon hearing this, Kartis Kian nodded with a smile. Then, he flipped his hand, revealing a transparent glass shard between his fingers.


    "Crack!" S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As the glass fragment shattered, the surface of the massive ancient mirror twisted, and soon the scene from within the Thunder Abyss reappeared.


    "Although we can''t enter, we can still manage to take a look, and perhaps deduce how that kid acquired so many Thunder Soul Orbs," Kartis Kian said with a smile as he raised his head, only for his smile to freeze instantly.


    The vast Thunder Abyss was pitch black, with dry branches swaying violently in the howling wind. Yet, at this moment, not a trace of lightning could be found within the Thunder Abyss.


    "What''s going on!"


    Kartis Sham was shocked to his core, his previously calm and composed face now filled with horror.


    The Thunder Abyss, which the Kartis Family depended on for their prestige, was gone?


    ...


    "Uncle Mut, a year ago, some people from Snow Storm City came to Velorian City and took my father away. You weren''t aware of this?"


    Walking along the wide street, Blaze Regret''s brow was tightly furrowed. The way things were unfolding seemed to be beyond his expectations.


    "Don''t worry. Although your father''s strength has sharply declined, his means of preserving his life are something even I cannot compare to. Perhaps he''s gone to find a way to lift the seal within him," Mut Lin reassured.


    "Is the seal that powerful?" Blaze Regret''s eyes held a trace of doubt. What kind of seal could suppress a severely injured Spirit Sovereign Realm expert down to a mere Spirit Lord Master, leaving him unable to progress for years?


    "Very powerful," Mut Lin nodded quietly. "It''s said that Kartis Sham accidentally acquired it in some ancient place, and nowadays, it''s difficult for anyone to find a method to break it."


    "Kartis Sham." Coldness spread through Blaze Regret''s eyes. One day, he would make that duplicitous man pay a heavy price.


    "By the way, Gen Yun."


    Turning his head, Mut Lin called out to the distracted Gen Yun a few more times: "Gen Yun, Gen Yun?"


    "Master," Gen Yun was startled and immediately bowed his head respectfully.


    "From now on, Blaze Regret will be under your care. He is the descendant of an old friend of mine, so make sure to look after him," Mut Lin said with a smile.


    "Rest assured, Master, I will take good care of him," Gen Yun replied, glancing sideways at Blaze Regret. As for what he meant by "taking care," only he truly knew.


    With a faint smile on his face, Blaze Regret bowed to Gen Yun, though his smile carried a hint of coldness.


    Playing with the invitation forged from ice between his fingers, Blaze Regret glanced back in the direction of the Kartis Family. Life in Snow Storm City was just beginning.


    As the chilling winds swept through the streets, carrying whispers of old rivalries and unspoken secrets, Blaze felt an undeniable pull towards the tumultuous history that surrounded him. The Kartis Family, once not a formidable force in the city, had become the strongest force from the past, he need to work hard to.


    Gen Yun observed closely, noting the flicker of determination in Blaze''s eyes. It was clear that beneath the boy''s seemingly calm exterior lay a tempest of ambition and resentment, a desire for revenge to those that work together before when his father injured. "You must understand, Blaze," Gen Yun said, his voice steady yet soft, "this city can be both a friend and a foe. Choose your alliances wisely, for they will define your path."


    Blaze nodded, the glint in his eyes sharpening. He understood that he was to weak now to fight Kartis family and take revenge to those that injured his father. He will work hard to make it happen. He will also fufill the promise that he make with master Magi to search for his long page.


    As the evening drew near, the sky above Snow Storm City transformed into a canvas of deep blues and purples, with stars beginning to twinkle like diamonds scattered across velvet. The air buzzed with anticipation for the upcoming festivities, a masquerade ball hosted by the Kartis Family, where masks would conceal true identities and hidden ambitions would be unveiled.


    With a final glance at Gen Yun, Blaze turned away, his resolve solidifying. He would not allow himself to be constrained by the expectations of others. Instead, he would carve his own destiny, one that would echo through the halls of Snow Storm City for generations to come.


    The invitation remained clutched tightly in his hand, a reminder of the opportunity that lay ahead and the path he had to forge, not just for himself, but for the legacy of his ancestors. As he stepped into the night, Blaze Regret whispered to the wind, "Let the storm begin."
