Countless deep cyan wind blades, moving faster than sound, struck the snow-white giant ape.
Almost instantly, the giant ape was severely wounded, its body covered in blood.
Before it could activate its Berserk Bloodline, Wu Yong condensed a hundred-meter-long blade aura.
But Wu Yong did not release it immediately. Instead, he compressed the blade aura.
Zi Yan's eyelids twitched. So everything her good friend had said was true!
Two seconds later, a dark cyan blade aura less than ten meters long followed Wu Yong's gesture, turning into a streak of black light that passed through the giant ape just as it activated its Berserk Bloodline.
Thud...
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed through the world, which had fallen silent at some point. The raging storm had likewise turned into a gentle breeze without anyone noticing.
All that remained was the Snow Demon Sky Ape, sliced in two at the waist. Its eyes remained open as it stared in disbelief at the lower half of its body still standing on the ground.
A Fifth-Rank Magical Beast had already completed its transformation and possessed incredibly powerful vitality. Even after being cut in half, it could still cling to life for a while.
But unfortunately, once its ice-attributed fifth-rank magic core was removed, its consciousness sank into darkness as well.
Zi Yan, following behind Wu Yong, could not help widening her eyes. The massive creature she had been unable to do anything against before had been cut in half by her good friend, who had even taken its magic core. She felt unprecedented shock!
More importantly, her good friend was only a Two-Star Dou Ling and was already this powerful.
Once he advanced to the Dou Wang realm, then... wouldn't they be able to rob those Sixth-Rank Magical Beasts too?
"Hey... wake up. Where did it hide its treasures?"
"Hehehe, follow me!"
Awakened by Wu Yong, Zi Yan smiled sheepishly and led him into an underground cave filled with stalactites.
Since Wu Yong knew the plot, he naturally would not take the genuine Earth Core Body Tempering Milk by mistake. Of course, he did not drain the source dry either, leaving some behind for the long term.
As for the diluted Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, he took all of it.
After dividing both the diluted and undiluted Earth Core Body Tempering Milk into roughly equal portions, Wu Yong pushed one share toward Zi Yan.
"Take it."
"Mm, let's hurry back and cultivate!"
Zi Yan grabbed Wu Yong and eagerly flew out of the underground world, heading back toward the academy.
With such a powerful good friend by her side, she would be able to snatch whatever she saw from now on. Of course she understood the difference between one full meal and staying full every meal.
And the prerequisite for staying full every meal was having her good friend cultivate, raise his realm, become stronger, snatch even more things, and keep cultivating...
In the distance, an elderly figure watched the two fly back to the academy after dividing their spoils and could not help sighing. He had a feeling that the days ahead would not be peaceful.
Especially for the powerful magical beasts around the academy—they were probably in for a terrible time!
After returning to the Tianfen Qi Refining Tower, Wu Yong entered No. 1 Training Room.
He took out the diluted and undiluted Earth Core Body Tempering Milk and controlled the all-pervading wind to enter the jade bottles.
Possessing [Son of Wind] and being a reincarnator, Wu Yong had already gone a long way in his development of the wind path.
For such heavenly treasures, he could control the wind with microscopic precision, drawing their energy into his body bit by bit and slowly digesting it.
The gaseous Earth Core Body Tempering Milk turned into milky-white streams of air and entered Wu Yong's body along with a faint breeze.
Because the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was in a gaseous state, its density was extremely low and contained very little energy. Wu Yong could directly absorb and refine it without worrying about energy conflicts.
The energy from the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk gradually nourished every inch of Wu Yong's flesh, bones, meridians, and internal organs...
With Wu Yong's earlier demonstration, the wind naturally followed the previous steps and continued helping him absorb and refine the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk.
Because he was the Son of Wind.
At the same time, he inserted his Crystal Card. Improving his cultivation and refining the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk did not interfere with each other.
No. 1 Training Room was different from the others. It consumed thirty days' worth of Fire Energy per day, but correspondingly, its cultivation effect was also the best.
Even after Zi Yan advanced to the Dou Wang realm, the Heart Fire within No. 1 Training Room would still be of considerable use to her.
But now, this training room belonged to Wu Yong.
And the more than nine hundred thousand Fire Energy on his Crystal Card was enough for him to spend freely.
After using Heart Fire to temper their Dou Qi for too long, many students would stop and wait for the inner heat in their bodies to disperse, lest they develop Fire Poison and affect their future growth.
But Wu Yong, as the Son of Wind, did not need to worry about that. The wind would carry all the inner heat out of him, keeping his mind clear at all times.
Time passed day by day.
Having just swept through the entire Inner Academy, naturally no blind fool would come disturb his cultivation.
Furthermore, this year's new students no longer had to pay any so-called tribute fees and had naturally integrated with the Inner Academy's old students.
The reason was not complicated.
They were afraid that if they bullied the new students too harshly, they would provoke that Great Demon Emperor. Then everyone would have to live on welfare for the next month...
The people on the upper two floors could manage, but for the Strong Ranking experts on the lower floors, seven days of Fire Energy was not even enough for half a day of cultivation!
Things were pretty good as they were. Their pockets might be tight, but at least they still had Fire Energy to use, right?
The new students thought the same way. As long as the old students did not go too far, they did not want to summon that Great Demon Emperor either.
After all, they were not sure how much goodwill they had with that guy. Once they called him out, the Fire Energy in their cards would most likely drop back to single digits.
By himself, Wu Yong had made the new and old students of the Inner Academy integrate perfectly. This truly counted as boundless merit.
Although the process had not exactly been pleasant...
As the numbers on his Crystal Card rapidly decreased, the spikes on the sea-urchin-like Dou Crystal in Wu Yong's dantian grew fewer and fewer.
The omnipresent wind tightly wrapped around its child, perfectly concealing his aura without allowing even a trace to leak out.
Wu Yong had his own way of keeping track of time, allowing him to cultivate in seclusion without worry.
Even when he broke through to the Dou Wang realm, he had no intention of stopping.
Only when the panel in his mind flashed with blue light did Wu Yong snap out of his cultivation state as if waking from a dream.
[Diode] (Blue Excellence): From one extreme to the opposite extreme.
Seeing this blue trait, Wu Yong froze. Was his luck really this good?
Only when he looked at the changes in the probabilities on the panel did he understand what had happened. No wonder he had drawn a blue trait.
As he broke through to the Dou Wang realm, the chance of drawing a white trait had directly dropped to 90%!
The chances of drawing traits of every other grade had also increased by nearly tenfold!!!
[Name: Wu Yong] [Gender: Male] [Realm: Dou Wang] [Equipped Traits (6/6): Son of Wind (Gold), Diode (Blue), Medicine and Poison Do Not Separate (Green), Night Owl (White), Disease Resistant (White), Hardworking (White)] (PS: Each major realm advancement grants +1 equippable trait slot) [Drawn Traits (18): Son of Wind (Gold), Diode (Blue), Medicine and Poison Do Not Separate (Green), Hardworking (White), Sentry Eyes (White)...] [Current Trait Probabilities by Grade: White Common 90%, Green Rare 9%, Blue Excellence 0.89%, Purple Epic 0.1%, Golden Legend 0.01%]
