C57 (1/2)

In the brightly lit room, Xia Hun Wu sat cross-legged on his bed as his eyes slowly opened. His face revealed a deathly white colour and a dizzy feeling was still present in his mind. He immediately shook his head and let out a bitter laugh.

”Hu …!”

Gently exhaling a breath of cold air, Xia Hun Wu's hands trembled and nine Spiritual Seals floated out from his body, before transforming into streams of flames that revolved above his head. Feeling that his control over the Nine Flames Dragon Devouring Array was much simpler than before, Yang Yang also curled his lips upwards.

”Looks like I really need some elixirs that can nourish Mental Energy in the next few days before I can continue training in this Soul Martial Pillar …!”

Xia Hun Wu pondered for a while as he saw the nine flames disappear into the surrounding space. He stretched his body, and as he could no longer resist the onslaught of sleepiness, he fell into a deep sleep.

Over the next few days, Xia Hun Wu entered his left pupil's mental space almost every day and used the Soul Martial Pillar to train his mental energy. Although the suffering was unbearable, it was the only way for him to improve his mental energy.

After Xia Hun Wu told Zhou Huai about the spiritual power nourishing ingredients, Zhou Yao went to the Silver Armor Auction House a few times. Fortunately, his luck wasn't too bad, and he happened to have a few Mortal Grade Seven Spirit Accumulation branches.

With the nourishment of the Spirit Accumulation Branch, Xia Hun Wu began to cultivate without eating or sleeping. After ten days, the tenth Spiritual Seal was finally condensed on that night. However, it was only ten Spiritual Seals.

However, Xia Hun Wu had already expected such an outcome. If it was so easy to advance to a Human Stage Level 8 Spiritual Array Master, then he wouldn't have the strength comparable to a Soul Transformation Stage expert … During these ten days of training, the Zhou family had secretly moved out some women and children to prevent the worst from happening.

As the days went by, the atmosphere in the Zhou Mansion became more and more tense, because everyone knew that the day before Tianhai's gate approached, and the hundred or so powers in Yunhai City also fixed their gazes on the Zhou Family. Once the Zhou Family was destroyed, they would also want a share of the spoils.

In the Zhou Mansion at the back of the mountain, Xia Hun Wu opened his eyes once again and the red glow from the basket disappeared from his eyes. With a flick of his mind, a fire tower appeared above his head.

The Nine Flames Dragon Devouring Formation had already been completely mastered by Xia Hun Wu, and the formation diagram was already imprinted into his mind. With a slight thought, this huge fire pagoda could whizz out and deliver a fatal blow while the enemy was stunned.

”It's already been fourteen days … The Heavenly Sea Sect should be arriving soon!”

After dispersing the ”Great Flames Tower” above his head, Xia Hun Wu's expression became serious. In these 14 days, he had only managed to form 12 Spiritual Seals, which was still a distance of 8 Rank Spiritual Arrays and 8 Rank Spiritual Arrays. According to Xia Hun Wu's estimation, it would still take him another two months before he could borrow the effects of the Soul Martial Pillar to step into the Human Rank 8 Rank Spiritual Array Master realm.

This amount of time was far from enough. Before becoming a Grade Eight Spiritual Array Master, he would not be a match for Luo Lie.

”I must think of a way to stall for time. Otherwise, what awaits them is an extremely tragic result!”

Time was too tight for him.

”Hmm?”

Just as this thought flashed through Xia Hun Wu's mind, he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly. His expression changed slightly as he stood up and looked in front of him.

Not far away, a group of people dressed in red appeared. Their auras were extremely shocking, bringing with them a baleful aura as they headed towards the Zhou Mansion.
