”Well then, our plans seehed when they returned to the inn
The Black Iron Fortress would cover their expenses at the inn for two eniuses froest that we spend the next two days boosting our strength as much as we possibly can,” Xue Wei said ”We have two days of free stay, so let us use it to the fullest After that, ill start htflower”
”A roundtrip is probably going to take us a few ht be able to cut a bit of time off our total travel time since we can take encounters with beasts out of the equation”
”Why did you accept?” Hei Gou asked curiously He knew Xue Wei would not have accepted for no apparent reason He was not the type to willingly help others, so he needed to have some sort of plan
”If an extreme expert has left a barrier like that, don’t you think he has left behind so valuable?” Xue Wei snickered ”I cannot know for sure, and I do not know if the treasure has already been taken – but should there be so, it is worth a try”
”Not toto the center of the continent, whichthere to hunt us down and kill us”
”The longer it takes us to get there, the stronger ill be e are there Then we can hold our own ht now”
”Besides, they pro will keep his pro, we can just not hand over the flower and run away”
Hei Gou hesitated for a brief then ourselves asto the center of the continent,” he agreed
Xue Wei took out a spiritual fruit and popped it into hisa few times, he felt how the flesh of the fruit turned into a viscous liquid charged with spiritual energy that wandered down his throat into his sto the fruit’s contents, Xue Wei could feel the circulation of Qi within hisup his absorption of the nearby heaven-and-earth essence
Over time, the Qi-refinement process went faster and faster, to the point that his energy started pushi+ng against the bottleneck into the fifth layer of the Sky Warrior rank, but Xue Wei tried to suppress that
He had proth dramatically recently, and he orried that if he continued to grow stronger at such a rapid pace, then he would end up wounding hih he had said he would increase his strength, he would not do it at the cost of self-hary he was currently refining to stabilize the foundations of his cultivation base, in the same manner a master of statues chisels the contours of his latest piece prior to its final form
The two days went by in a flash By the time the second day was over, Hei Gou and Xue Wei checked out of the inn Having ht recently, they sat out from the Black Iron Fortress
Hei Gou’s Qi-level had risen to the sixth layer of the Sky Warrior rank, while his physical strength had plateaued at the first layer of the Heavenly Warrior rank
Xue Wei had not raised his rank, but he had advanced his strength by suppressing his breakthrough and stabilizing his foundations
Many eyes were glued to Xue Wei and Hei Gou The Elders in Black Iron Fortress all had men stationed outside the inn to spy on the duo Sohts, while others were htflower to be delivered to them
Xue Wei and Hei Gou were both unaware of the fact that many of the elders had put spies around them, but when they exited the town, they were suddenly blocked by aat this masked man, both Xue Wei and Hei Gou frowned Neither was able to sense the man's cultivation base Their eyes narrowed
This was an expert above the first layer of the Heavenly Warrior rank If they were to engage him in battle, their chances were slim, so they could not help but feel a bit worried
Qi coursed rapidly through their uards The azure core within Xue Wei's body gloith power, and Hei Gou was alht
Xue Wei reached out an arly, unsure if this man had evil intentions
”Dead hed, but his expression froze h, which iftly replaced by a sole appeared out of nowhere, as if he teleported right next to them ”So you think that you can kill them just because they have exited the city? Do you not takeflame appeared and shot towards the masked man
