System Mission, First Devour!

"It seems that if I want to become stronger, I have to rely on my own combat and hunting; I cannot rely on external forces!"

"However, with this Bloodline Awakening Card, even if I encounter powerful soul beasts, I don't have to worry about my life. I can hunt without any concerns!"

"Of course, before I officially start hunting, I still need to train and familiarize myself with this soul beast body to ensure I can unleash its full combat potential!"

After browsing through his attributes, Yao Xuan closed the attribute panel formed by the Eye of Detection, ready to make a big move.

[Ding, system mission "First Devour" has been issued. Do you accept?]

Just then, a slightly cold and mechanical system prompt suddenly rang in Yao Xuan's ears.

"Accept!"

Hearing the system prompt, Yao Xuan muttered in his heart without hesitation.

[System Mission: First Devour]

[Mission Description: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Please bravely take the first step, kill an enemy, devour it, and begin your path of evolution!]

[Mission Hint: Your cultivation is weak. Please try to start hunting from weaker 10-year soul beasts. Proceed step by step; do not aim too high!]

[Mission Reward: Cultivation x5 years]

As Yao Xuan thought, a mission box appeared before him.

"Not bad! With this mission, I can reach the level of a ten-year soul beast faster, become stronger faster, and transform into human form faster!"

Looking at the mission panel, Yao Xuan nodded with satisfaction and began to train in earnest.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed!

After half a day of experimentation and training, Yao Xuan finally became familiar with the movements of his Emperor Auspicious Beast body and was able to fully exert his strength.

Now, it was time for hunting!

Having made up his mind, Yao Xuan carefully concealed his aura and wove through the soul beast forest, searching for a suitable target!

Along the way, Yao Xuan naturally encountered many soul beasts, and there was no shortage of thousand-year soul beasts!

However, relying on the Eye of Detection, he discovered that the cultivation levels of these soul beasts were too high to contend with!

Fortunately, Yao Xuan possessed the body of an Emperor Auspicious Beast and was protected by the luck of the soul beast clan. As long as he carefully concealed his aura, he would not be easily discovered.

Because of this, although he encountered powerful enemies along the way, he remained safe.

Just then, a lone wild boar appeared in the distance, sporting pink horns and possessing a weak aura.

"Perhaps this is a suitable target for hunting!"

Looking at the wild boar in the distance, Yao Xuan's heart stirred, and he activated the Eye of Detection.

[Target: Pink-Horned Wild Boar]

[Cultivation: 11 years]

[Description: A very weak ten-year soul beast with extremely low combat power, easy to hunt.]

[Devour Reward: 1 month of cultivation]

As Yao Xuan thought, an attribute panel appeared before him.

"Very good, this is the one!"

Looking at the description of the Pink-Horned Wild Boar on the system panel, Yao Xuan's eyes lit up.

This was the perfect target for his first hunt and devour!

Although the one-month cultivation reward wasn't high, combined with the previous mission reward, his cultivation would definitely increase by a significant margin!

Thinking of this, a flash of killing intent crossed Yao Xuan's eyes. He moved his body silently, aimed his head at the Pink-Horned Wild Boar, and pushed off with his hind legs with all his might.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking air, Yao Xuan's body shot out like a sharp arrow, blasting toward the Pink-Horned Wild Boar in the distance.

Hearing the piercing sound, the Pink-Horned Wild Boar finally reacted, but before it could even lift its legs to flee, Yao Xuan had already closed the distance.

Immediately after, Yao Xuan aimed his dragon-like claws at the Pink-Horned Wild Boar's throat and swung them fiercely.

"Slish!"

The next moment, the sound of tearing flesh rang out. Although the Pink-Horned Wild Boar had a layer of thick hide protecting its body, it was like fragile paper before the claws of Yao Xuan's Emperor Auspicious Beast body, torn straight to shreds.

Following that, Yao Xuan's sharp claws mercilessly sliced through the Pink-Horned Wild Boar's throat, sending blood splattering everywhere!

Having suffered such a severe wound, the Pink-Horned Wild Boar's body collapsed limply to the ground. After a few weak flutters of its limbs, it went completely still, and its eyes turned cloudy.

"Not bad! It's time to devour!"

Looking at his clean and decisive strike, Yao Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

To slay an opponent so cleanly and decisively on his first strike was a great start.

Thinking this, Yao Xuan walked over to the side of the Pink-Horned Wild Boar and, with a thought, activated the Devour Evolution system ability.

The next moment, a red light swept across the corpse of the Pink-Horned Wild Boar.

Under the glow of that red light, the body of the Pink-Horned Wild Boar was instantly decomposed and vanished from sight.

At the same time, streams of pure bloodline cultivation energy surged into Yao Xuan's body.

Suddenly, Yao Xuan felt the hunger in his entire body disappear; his strength increased by a few notches, his movements became more agile, and his overall power improved significantly.

"Is this what Devour Evolution feels like? It's amazing!"

"Plus, this method of devouring is quite good; I don't actually have to use my mouth!"

Feeling the results of his first devouring, Yao Xuan revealed a satisfied smile.

He had always been a bit worried that if the system's devouring required him to actually eat, he might not be able to bring himself to do it when it came to soul masters.

After all, he was a human, not a beast; he truly couldn't bring himself to eat people.

However, if it were just the system taking action to decompose and devour the enemy, it posed no psychological barrier for Yao Xuan.

[Ding, system mission "First Devour" has been completed. Do you wish to claim the mission reward?]

Just then, the system prompt sounded in Yao Xuan's ears once again.

"Of course, claim it!"

Hearing the system prompt, a flash of excitement crossed Yao Xuan's eyes, and he answered without hesitation.

A mere month of cultivation had already made him this much stronger.

The mission reward contained a full five years of cultivation, which would definitely allow his strength to increase dramatically!

With a thought, Yao Xuan chose to claim the mission reward!

[Ding, mission reward has been distributed!]

Following Yao Xuan's command, a surge of bloodline energy, much hotter than before, poured into his body like a torrent of heat.

Under the reinforcement of that dense bloodline energy, Yao Xuan felt his strength instantly surge more than twofold, his body became even lighter, and combat memories involuntarily welled up in his sea of consciousness.

Yes, as a member of the Emperor Auspicious Beast clan, as his cultivation increased, it wasn't just his physical fitness that improved, but his combat instincts as well!

Soon, several minutes passed, and the heat within Yao Xuan's body subsided once more.

Yao Xuan's cultivation had also increased from one year and one month to six years and one month.

"This is too good! I want to keep getting stronger and break through to become a ten-year soul beast! Once I break through, I will become even stronger!"

Feeling how much stronger he had become, a flash of excitement crossed Yao Xuan's eyes. He first familiarized himself with his newly strengthened body, then immediately set out to begin a new hunt!
