Chapter 226 - The Mysterious Elder (1/2)

...

"Spare... Spare me. Wu, wu, wu..."

In the empty and dilapidated factory, the young girl knelt on the ground and begged the black-robed man in front of her.

She was no longer in human form. Her body was covered in blood and soil, just like a dirty puppy in the rain.

However, the black-robed man did not have the slightest bit of compassion. Instead, he looked at her with a mocking expression.

"Spare you? If I spare you, who will spare my subordinates who were killed by the humans?

"If it weren't for you, the humans wouldn't have discovered my subordinates. They were all dead. You should have been buried with them."

"Sob, sob, sob... It wasn't me who said it. It had nothing to do with me. I was knocked unconscious and had no idea that they were the accomplices of a tiger demon. I didn't report it either."

"You don't need to say these nice words to fool me. Your only use now is to please me."

After saying that, he stepped on the other party's arm.

Crack!

"Ah!"

A heart-wrenching scream scared away the surrounding crows, causing them to scatter.

An hour later, the long-robed man walked out of the dilapidated factory.

'I really can't help but play. The humans are still too weak. It's a pity that I can't directly go and play with some human martial arts experts at the divine grandmaster rank right now. Otherwise, I should be able to have some fun.'

He smacked his lips and wiped his fangs.

'Forget it. It's better to put the overall situation of the star beast race first and endure it for now. Let's deal with the other two humans first.'

He took out two pieces of paper from his pocket.

"'Ye Xiao and Yang Xi actually live together. Just nice. This way, I won't have to run back and forth, and I can catch them all in one go.'

With that, he lightly tapped his feet and instantly disappeared from the spot.

...

Time quickly arrived at noon of the next day. After Ye Xiao finished his intensive training class, he immediately rushed to the library.

He only had one month to study, and now, one-third of it had passed. In another two or ten days, he would have to return to Jianghai city.

He had to read as many books as possible before he returned to Jianghai city.

Moreover, there was another problem. Although Professor Huang did not ask for his card now, it did not mean that he would not ask for it at other times.

If he were to ask for the borrowing card back, he would not be able to continue to go to the higher-ups of the library.

Therefore, his time was very precious.

Today, Ye Xiao came to the fifth floor.

The books on the fifth floor were better than the books on the lower level, and he had more access to the information.

There, Ye Xiao finally saw the records of the imperial technique, King's realm, and other information.

Cultivation techniques could raise one's cultivation to a certain upper limit according to their different levels.

Cultivation techniques below the transcendent level could only be raised to Houtian ninth grade at most, which was already the limit.

Grandmaster-level cultivation techniques could cover the cultivation of the entire grandmaster, great sect, and divine sect.

Imperial techniques covered the King realm and Emperor realm.

Of course, the final result of cultivation would be related to one's aptitude as well as the cultivation technique.

Without a suitable cultivation technique, one would not be able to advance no matter how talented one was.

As an example, without the imperial technique, one would not be able to advance to the King and Emperor Realm. One would only be able to linger in the divine sect for the rest of their lives.

If one's aptitude was not enough, even if one were to be given an imperial technique, one might not be able to advance beyond the grandmaster realm.

Both were indispensable.

Then there was the division of cultivation levels between the King realm and the Emperor realm.

On that point, there was a difference between humans and star beasts.

Humans directly referred to them as the King realm and the Emperor realm, while the star beasts referred to themselves as divine beasts. It could also be said that they were in the divine realm.

Above the King realm, star beasts were divided into divine beasts and super divine beasts!

Among them, divine beasts corresponded to the King realm of humans, while super divine beasts corresponded to the Emperor realm of humans.

Speaking of which, it might feel a little tongue-twister, but Ye Xiao felt that it was still very normal.

After all, the two sides were two races, and their cultivations might be divided into equal levels. However, above the name, it was definitely impossible to have the same name.

Just like how the people of the nine provinces said no, that meant no.

If the people of the Ying state said no, that meant they did not wear it!

However, Ye Xiao saw a very interesting piece of information.

That was, on the space battlefield, there was also a ranking called the Starry Ranking.

It recorded the top martial arts experts of the human race and the star beast race at the same time.

Of course, those martial arts experts were definitely the experts of the current warring parties. Those who did not come to that world in the depths of the starry sky were not included.

They used the number of King realm and divine beasts that the other party had defeated as a criterion to judge.

Those who could enter the Starry Rankings were absolutely powerful. Existences like them, any one of them who came to the surface could easily sweep away all the human martial arts experts in the world!

That was because those who entered the Starry Rankings had to be at least at the King realm, and those who had just reached the King realm might not have the qualifications to enter the Starry Rankings.
