Chapter 187: Beast Army (1/2)

Deep in the forest on the 7th level of the Ancestral Training Grounds, the sharp sounds of someone swinging their sword and large trees hitting the ground echoed throughout the forest. The person swinging their sword was none other than Xiao Fang.

Since he was alone, he comfortably practiced his Divine Sword method with his blindfold off. He was making far more progress with it here than he did when he was in his guild house's basement, because the natural qi on this floor was just so much more stronger here than it was anywhere else in the sect.

'If the guys back at the Divine Sword sect knew about this, they'd be going crazy with envy,' Xiao Fang thought as a smirk appeared on his face.

Xiao Fang climbed trees, scaled mountains, and crossed rivers. He spent most of his time just going place to place in search for higher tiered beasts, but all he could find were beasts in the 8th tier.

'Could I've been wrong?' Xiao Fang thought.

Hours passed, but after extracting the cores from over a 100 different 8th tiered beasts, he still hadn't even filled a quarter of his high-grade spirit pendant yet. From the looks of it, it seemed that he was going to be here for a while.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hei was starting to get a bit worried for Xiao Fang. He had been gone for the whole day, so she kept having thoughts that he might be in danger.

She wasn't foolish enough to go looking for him, but she couldn't say that the thought hadn't crossed her mind.

When Xiao Fang was feeling tired, he eventually sat down on the branch of a tall tree. It was too dangerous to fall asleep, so he did the next best thing which was to cultivate his spirit and rely on his swordsman's instincts to alert him if he was in danger. This way he could get some rest while also making more space in his high-grade spirit pendant.

Using the refined illusory qi in his spirit pendant, he cultivated his [ Illusory Body ] method, the result of which was astonishing.

In a matter of a few hours, Xiao Fang was able to make a breakthrough to the 2nd stage of the [ Illusory Body ] Spirit Refinement realm. It's only been a little more than a day since he made his breakthrough to the 1st stage, so he almost couldn't believe it.

What Xiao Fang forgot was just how dense the natural qi on this floor was. He had gotten so used to it that he hardly even noticed it was there.

!!!

Suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck began to stand as his swordsman's instincts suddenly alerted him of an approaching attack.
