106 The Resistant Nine-Inch (1/2)

The moment the icy cold aura was given off, the nine-inch Spirit Root approached with rapid speed. Even before Wang Baole could take a clear look at it, the nine-inch Spirit Root had already appeared before him, raising its right hand and landing a punch!

Too fast!

Wang Baole's heart trembled, and the golden Blood Qi ocean around him exploded, forming a shield that blocked the nine-inch Spirit Root. Wang Baole's body vibrated as he retreated. However, he did not stop but instead dodged to the side at full speed.

The instant Wang Baole dodged, the nine-inch Spirit Root appeared in front of him yet again, stepping on a rock and breaking it apart, sending debris in all directions!

With this speed, it's power can be significantly boosted even if it was unremarkable! Wang Baole thought as his breathing rate increased. He stepped back once again, closing his eyes, as he became more serious and focused than ever.

It's not at the level of a True Breath expert!

Like me, it's only in the Pulse Enrichment stage. However, in the Pulse Enrichment stage, how can it be so quick?

Wang Baole took a deep breath. He had thought that he was already standing at the pinnacle of Pulse Enrichment, but seeing the nine-inch Spirit Root's attack, he quickly realized that his Pulse Enrichment stage had not peaked.

It's impossible to fight it with such a speed! I have to think of a way to slow it down!

As Wang Baole stepped back, he immediately retracted his Golden Body state. Previously, when he was being pursued by numerous Spirit Roots, he had been able to tone down their vigor by converging the Golden Body.

It was no exception in this case. The moment Wang Baole's Golden Body was retracted, the nine-inch Spirit Root, which originally gave off an icy, cold aura, immediately calmed down. It no longer looked at Wang Baole and instead floated into the air, slowly moving away.

Realizing that releasing and concealing his Golden Body could influence the nine-inch Spirit Root, Wang Baole blinked, adjusted his position, and released his Golden Body yet again as he charged out.

The instant the Golden Body was released, the departing nine-inch Spirit Root immediately turned around, unleashing its icy, cold aura once again. It rushed toward Wang Baole with a speed exceeding the previous time. As it approached Wang Baole, it raised its right hand and directed it toward Wang Baole's neck in preparation to clutch it.

As it neared, the Spirit Qi in the environment also began moving, forming a whirlwind that trapped Wang Baole in place!

Such speed momentarily threw Wang Baole off. However, he had long prepared for this. The devouring seed within his body spread, forming a strong suction force that twisted the approaching right hand of the nine-inch Spirit Root toward another direction. The nine-inch Spirit Root froze momentarily, its right hand being grabbed by the suction force. The hand gripped empty space, and in that instant, Wang Baole wrangled the nine-inch Spirit Root with his gloved hand, his eyes revealing a look of ruthlessness!

The moment the hand joints were twisted, Wang Baole raised his left leg, stepping hard on the nine-inch Spirit Root's belly. With a loud boom, its body was forced backward by the strong kick. Grabbing onto the opportunity, the Blood Qi from Wang Baole's body spread, and riding on the recoiling force from his kick, he broke free from the Spirit Qi whirlwind, moving back hundreds of feet. Without attending to the ache in his left foot that had resulted from the shock, he looked toward the nine-inch Spirit Root with surprise.

When it tried to grab onto me previously, it actually amassed the surrounding Spirit Qi to trap me within the whirlwind! That's similar to Zhao Yameng's technique. However, Zhao Yameng depended on the array formation. It's obvious that this Spirit Root tends toward techniques of the Combat faculty, but is this a feasible way of combat?

Wang Baole's heart raced as he curiously analyzed the situation.

The Chancellor previously mentioned that it is highly possible that all True Breath Spirit Roots are seed-like existences that represent the condensation of those who survived from an unknown civilization!

Following that logic, does it mean that in this civilization where cultivators are everywhere, there could be both powerful and weak Spirit Roots that exist based on different qualities, reincarnating from different people? If that's the case, it could fully explain why there are Spirit Roots that are one-inch and Spirit Roots that are nine-inch!

If the one-inch Spirit Root was ordinary, does it mean that the nine-inch Spirit Root… could be the incarnation of an elite of that cultivation civilization? However… the challenge about this nine-inch Spirit Root lies in its speed and peculiar way of manipulating Spirit Qi. If I could figure it out, I could probably destroy it!

Thoughts flew within Wang Baole's mind as his desire to battle climbed.

The nine-inch Spirit Root that had been thrown off by his kick stopped tens of feet away as it raised its head and looked at Wang Baole.
