Qi and Blood, Mental Power Double Breakthrough, Picking Up an Awakened Level Monster

Satellite City No. 6.

Lu Xuan followed the rescue team back into the city and was arranged in a private hospital room.

Satellite Cities are different from Jinling City.

Jinling City has expanded several times over its original size, mainly consisting of urban cluster buildings with defense lines set up layer by layer. Satellite Cities, on the other hand, are more like fortress cities, with only one high wall defense line, like a steamed bun.

"This time, although the harvest wasn't much, my strength has improved greatly."

"It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Lu Xuan calmed himself and sorted out his gains from this trip.

Monster meat, special materials, no spirit grass harvested, or it was all fed to the Bronze Gourd.

It was a pity that the Bronze Gourd had only secreted a few drops of spirit liquid so far.

In addition, his strength had broken through to the sixth-order Martial Artist, just one step away from being a high-level Martial Artist.

What surprised Lu Xuan the most was that his Mental Power had also broken through.

His detection range had directly increased from the original fifty meters to one hundred meters, and the psychic power he could wield was even more profound.

He could even lift objects weighing five tons.

It was a qualitative leap.

"Is it because of that big eyeball?"

The improvement in his Mental Power made Lu Xuan realize something: the strange creature he saw when he absorbed the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir was not fake.

It truly existed.

"What kind of monster is that?"

Lu Xuan frowned in thought, "Is my Mental Power improvement related to it?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Because the big-eyed monster had appeared the first time he awakened his Mental Power.

"Forget it."

Lu Xuan originally wanted to concentrate his psychic power to see if he could replicate that thing again.

But recalling its surging Mental Power.

A single glance had made his mind collapse.

He dismissed the thought.

"I should just recuperate for a few days honestly."

He calmed himself to consolidate his strength.

It was now May 30th.

Nearly ten days had passed since the beast tide. The wilderness was now full of treasure hunters.

If he went out wearing the Ghost-faced Monkey mask, he would be a living target.

If he didn't wear it, with his current strength, it would be difficult to obtain many good things from it.

"I wonder if the Awakened Level monster that was severely injured, as mentioned in future emails, has already been picked up by someone?"

An Awakened Level monster.

It was a great tonic for Lu Xuan right now.

Even if sold for money, one would be worth tens of millions.

If it could be captured alive, the price would be over a hundred million.

Without thinking for long, Lu Xuan logged into the Virtual Combat Platform and started fighting matches.

During the day, adventure and treasure hunting in the wilderness;

at night, log into the Virtual Combat Platform to earn points;

This was the cultivation plan he had formulated. He needed to grasp both strength and authority.

For several days.

Lu Xuan cultivated on the Virtual Combat Platform. During this time, he fought over a hundred matches and remained undefeated.

His strength was consolidated.

The current him could fight the fifty previous versions of himself!

Of the three Martial Skills, except for My Golden Spear Never Falls, all had reached Great Accomplishment. Especially the movement Martial Skill, due to the insights gained from his last use, had directly reached Perfection.

"Yellow-tier Martial Skills are still too simple for me."

Lu Xuan exited the Virtual Combat Platform.

"To cultivate higher-tier Martial Skills, I can only hunt more Monsters, exchange them for cash, and then obtain Martial Skills."

Possessing psychic power.

Cultivating Martial Skills was like drinking water.

Especially for low-tier Martial Skills, Lu Xuan could even get started just by glancing at them.

He stood up, changed his clothes, and completed the discharge procedures.

He didn't rush out of the city; he purchased some weapons in Satellite City.

Also, Lu Xuan had to ensure that the Monster Potion Company and the Xu Family weren't currently looking for him.

He opened the Martial Artist Forum.

#Shocking, Someone Witnessed the Ghost Face Martial Artist Trapped by a Beast Tide, Already Fallen#

#Shocking, Both the Xu Family and Monster Potion Company Have Issued Wanted Bounties for the Ghost Face Martial Artist, Dead or Alive#

#Shocking, a Martial Artist Who Escaped Claims the Ghost Face Martial Artist Caused the Beast Tide, Will the Officials Hunt Down the Ghost Face Martial Artist?#

Three eye-catching titles.

Although not in the top five trending topics, they immediately caught Lu Xuan's attention.

"To verify if I'm still alive, they want to drag the officials into this?"

Lu Xuan sneered dismissively, speaking as if the pain had already healed: "Those damn guys from that day, I spared their lives and they dare to slander me? I'm already Sixth-order now, who can kill me?"

However, he did feel like he could fight against high-tier Martial Artists of Seventh or Eighth-order now.

As long as it wasn't a group assault, he wouldn't say he could kill them.

But at least he wouldn't be as miserable as last time.

After browsing for a few minutes.

In summary, the Xu Family and the Monster Potion Company were still after him.

And the Xu Family seemed to have sacrificed a Qi and Blood Martial Master to give that surviving Martial Dao Grandmaster a new lease on life.

"No wonder they're all coming after me."

Lu Xuan put away the forum data screen. "So that's why he's alive again."

But so what?

He, Lu Xuan, wasn't afraid.

The sky gradually darkened.

Night fell, and Lu Xuan walked out of the city.

"I hope that heavily injured Awakened Level Monster hasn't been snatched up by someone else yet."

His figure slowly disappeared into the dim wilderness.

Somewhere near Tai Xuan Lake.

A prospecting team moved stealthily in the night.

They stopped near a cliff by a river mouth flowing into the lake.

Six people.

All of them were Fifth-order or above.

The strongest, an Eighth-order Martial Artist, walked ahead. He crouched down, looked back at his teammates, and asked:

"Old Sixth, did you really see a heavily injured Awakened Level Monster?"

"Would I lie to you?"

Old Sixth, short and with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, bared his teeth and stammered: "I, I saw it... with my own eyes... It had a huge ripped opening in its belly, very scary, it was almost dead."

"Talking to you is such a pain in the ass!"

The boss glared at him impatiently. "You lead the way down."

"Ah? I, I, I..."

"What 'ah', hurry up. If you waste time, you'll get less money!"

Old Sixth wanted to resist, but his strength was inferior, so he could only obediently step forward.

He climbed to the edge of the cliff and stuck his head over to look.

Gale-force winds swirled at the bottom of the cliff, ruffling his hair and making Old Six tremble, his bladder involuntarily aching.

"B-back in the day... it wasn't this scary, even during the day. Why is it like there are ghosts at night?"

Old Six fumbled his way down the cliff.

A Fifth-order Martial Artist wouldn't die from a hundred-meter fall. Even if there were sharp spikes below, they wouldn't be able to pierce their protective qi and blood.

Martial Artists were, after all, no longer mortals.

The six members of the Gold Rush team jumped off the cliff one after another.

Under the moonlight, Lu Xuan sat alone like an eagle on a branch higher up the cliff face.

He tilted his head and stared at the Gold Rush team, the Ghost Face's pupils glowing with an eerie luster.

"Has someone already discovered it?"

He probed with his psychic power, hesitating. "Four Fifth-order Martial Artists, two Sixth-order, one Eighth-order... Hmm, I'll wait and see for now."

With this lineup, Lu Xuan wasn't truly afraid.

But they had no enmity with him, so they couldn't possibly kill him and steal his treasure for no reason, right?

He was a reasonable person.

Even more so, he was a cautious person.

He would hide if he could, never fight head-on.

With that thought, he rapidly descended, catching up to the Gold Rush team.

After the Great Cataclysm, the landscape had changed dramatically.

This was once a plain, but now there were cliffs everywhere, and a slight misstep could lead to death.

Time ticked by.

After descending three hundred meters.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, A monster's roar echoed from the bottom of the cliff, carrying a strong gale that shook the cliff, causing sand and stones to fall.

He looked down.

The Gold Rush team was already locked in a fierce battle with the monster.

It was a Swamp Salamander, its maw wide open. The surrounding river water and mud churned with its surging qi and blood. Even with a chasm-like split in its belly, it still possessed formidable combat power.

It calmly dealt with the six-person siege.

The Gold Rush team also remained unfazed, coordinating their attacks and continuously luring the salamander out of its comfort zone.

But they had overlooked one point.

This was an Awakened Level monster, meaning it possessed its own unique Awakened talent.

As expected, in the next moment.

Buzzing--!

The underground river churned, and the cave spewed out a large torrent of water, sweeping through the entire cliff bottom like a giant dragon. The six members of the Gold Rush team were startled by the sudden turn of events and quickly urged their qi and blood to resist.

The salamander seized the opportunity to dive, its dozens of meters long body rolling.

Rumble!

The river water surged, crashing against the cliff edge.

The splashing water shot out like spears, stabbing at the already trapped six members of the Gold Rush team from all directions.

The leader reacted quickly, taking out a shield and channeling Spiritual Energy to block.

But at that very moment.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the river, and the salamander's large mouth lunged out.

"Not good!"

An Awakened Level monster breaking through their defenses was like a fist hitting tofu.

It would shatter with a single blow.

The six wanted to split their attention to defend themselves.

But how could the salamander give them any chance?

With one bite, it swallowed them whole.

"Its belly is split open, and it still wants to swallow people?"

Lu Xuan no longer hid.

His psychic power controlled a giant rock weighing several tons to smash down, while countless flying daggers rose into the air, blades horizontal, slashing directly at the salamander.
