It was another bloody massacre.
Over one hundred and thirty Golden Tail Scorpions lay dead, carpeting the ground.
Garen gained 90,000 experience points, two Primary Enhancement Stones, one Level 1 Black Gem, and one Primary Experience Card.
Garen happily collected them along with the Magic Crystal Cores of the Golden Tail Scorpions into his Space Ring.
The Mutated Golden Sun Eagle finally leveled up, reaching the Saint Realm.
Mutated Golden Sun Eagle: Saint Realm, Wind and Fire dual-element.
Law Profundity: None (Note: Experience will only continue to display and accumulate for leveling after entering the Law Profundity.)
Once a magical beast reaches the Saint Realm and stabilizes its cultivation, it is equivalent to a human at the peak of the Saint Realm.
Xiao Pa flew down from high above, landing beside Garen, and called out respectfully with excitement.
"Master, I have finally reached the Saint Realm."
"Good. Take me back first, and spend this time slowly consolidating your strength."
Two and a half hours later, they returned home.
Now that Xiao Pa was a Saint Realm magical beast, he could change his size at will. Garen didn't make him stay in the sky, instead having him shrink down and perch on his shoulder.
When his parents saw the small bird on Garen's shoulder and learned that Xiao Pa had reached the Saint Realm, they were overjoyed.
During dinner, Garen discussed with his parents the idea of leaving this place to go search for his uncle.
In truth, Garen could feel that his mother and father had contrasting personalities; his mother was a warm and cheerful person, and he imagined it must have been difficult for her to hide here all this time.
"Before, I was the only Saint Realm expert, so I couldn't always stay by your side. But now that we have two, as long as we move to a large empire city that has its own Saint Realm experts, the Radiant Church won't dare to easily send their own Saint Realm experts to capture anyone. It will make finding Uncle much easier."
Garen analyzed the situation for his parents.
In reality, he mainly wanted his parents to live a normal life. After all, they weren't elderly people who had seen it all and wished to live in seclusion; they were young people forced to live in this remote place out of necessity.
What young person in their twenties enjoys living in seclusion? Especially his mother, who had been a princess pampered by everyone since childhood, yet was now forced to hide in this desolate place.
Of course, he could feel his mother's concern for her brother, so he would look for his uncle's whereabouts as well.
Moving house wasn't something that needed to be done in a rush. After all, Garen hadn't been home for long, and they felt this period of time had been very warm and cozy.
Garen had been in contact with his parents through the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, so he wrote a letter to Yale, asking him to help investigate the whereabouts of his uncle, Arthur.
When he first heard his uncle's name from his mother, Garen was left speechless. Truly, birds of a feather flock together; just from the name alone, he knew this uncle had to be his real uncle.
For the time being, Garen used the excuse of wanting to train in the Blazing Sun Desert for a while before they decided which city to move to.
And so, Garen began his monster-grinding journey.
On the first day, he encountered a group of over sixty Level 9 Six-Eyed Magic Spiders. Before they could even react, Garen moved like a gale, with lightning speed, slaughtering over forty of them. The remaining twenty were affected by the baleful aura of the Tiger God Blade, their strength fully suppressed, and they were easily wiped out.
He gained nearly 80,000 experience points, one Primary Enhancement Stone, one Level 1 Green Gem, and one Primary Experience Card.
Garen was currently very fond of Primary Enhancement Stones; once he gathered ten, he could synthesize another Intermediate Enhancement Stone, so he tucked them away quickly.
On the second day, in the center of an oasis in the core of the desert, within a lake, one man and one blade turned the waters upside down. Although Garen's combat effectiveness was affected underwater, the Crocodile Dragon Beasts were also weakened by the baleful aura of the God-Slaying Blade, making them easy to deal with. One by one, the Level 9 Crocodile Dragon Beasts floated to the surface with their bellies up, devoid of life. Total annihilation.
He gained over 90,000 experience points, two Primary Enhancement Stones, and one Level 1 Critical Hit Gem.
Another good item. With this Level 1 Critical Hit Gem, he could synthesize a Level 2 Critical Hit Gem. A critical hit meant double damage, which could deliver a fatal blow to an enemy during a real fight, leaving them no time to defend.
On the third day, on a beach near the boundless South Sea, rows of Level 9 Desert Dragon Lizards fell by the shore, blood flowing like a river. They were almost entirely wiped out. A few Desert Dragon Lizards, even though they couldn't swim, dove into the deep sea to survive, and Garen spared them.
Legend had it that one of the overlords of the seabed, the Saint Realm magical beast Mosasaur, shared the same ancestor as the Desert Dragon Lizards. Both possessed thin traces of dragon bloodline, having evolved after diving into the deep sea to escape powerful enemies in ancient times.
This time, the harvest was the greatest: he gained over 105,000 experience points, one Primary Enhancement Stone, one Level 1 Attack Speed Stone, and two Primary Experience Cards.
Finally, a new type of gem had appeared. When Garen had upgraded the God-Slaying Blade to a divine-tier weapon, he had used a Socketing Stone on it, and he had also synthesized a Level 2 Moon Stone.
When he intended to socket it, the system prompted that defensive gems could not be socketed into weapons. This Attack Speed Stone was clearly for increasing attack speed, which was perfect.
Speed and attack speed were two different things; speed was the character's movement speed, while attack speed was the character's or weapon's speed of attack.
Currently, all the Level 9 magical beast groups he could detect had been cleared. Garen had slaughtered a total of over two hundred and thirty Level 9 magical beasts, gaining a total of 270,000 experience points, though the path to reaching the Saint Realm as a warrior still seemed far off.
Warrior Level: Level 9 (373,474/1,000,000 experience) Wind Element Law Profundity: "Wind Element" (830,000/20,000,000 experience) Fire Element Law Profundity: "Profundity of Explosion" (1,040,000/50,000,000) Transformation Level: Saint Realm Magic Level: Level 9 (892/1,000,000 experience)
During this period, due to constant combat, his Law Profundity had also improved slightly.
He removed the Critical Hit Gem from the God-Slaying Blade, synthesized it into a Level 2 Critical Hit Gem, re-socketed it, and then socketed the newly acquired Level 1 Attack Speed Stone.
God-Slaying Blade: Low-tier Divine Artifact (Upgradable). Gem smelting enabled (four slots).
Level 2 Sun Stone: Increases the damage of the character's fire magic and battle aura (Law Profundity) by twenty percent.
Level 2 Critical Hit Gem: Grants a 4% critical hit chance when the character attacks. Level 2 Breeze Stone: Increases the damage of the character's wind-attribute magic and battle qi (laws and profundities) by 20%. Level 1 Attack Speed Stone: Increases the attack speed of the character or weapon by 10%.
After organizing his equipment and weapons, Garen began planning his future targets.
The Saint Realm Twin-Horned Flood Dragon, the Saint Realm Sand Dragon, and the Saint Realm Golden Snake King; these Saint Realm magical beasts shouldn't be particularly strong, likely comparable to the Saint Realm Black Dragon King, or perhaps slightly stronger.
Back when he was at the peak of the ninth rank, he was already able to injure the Saint Realm Black Dragon King. Now that he had reached the Saint Realm after transforming, his Tiger Blood Battle Qi had increased tenfold, he had mastered the entry level of the most explosive high-level fire-attribute profundity—the Profundity of Explosion—and his Tiger God Blade had been reinforced to the divine level. He should be able to defeat typical Saint Realm magical beasts, and he intended to see if he could kill them.
On the fourth day, Garen selected his target: the Saint Realm Twin-Horned Flood Dragon.
The Saint Realm Twin-Horned Flood Dragon is a type of python possessing the bloodline of a flood dragon, named for the two horns growing from its head.
The Twin-Horned Flood Dragon is a fire and earth dual-attribute magical beast. In its adult stage, it typically reaches a body length of one hundred meters. Its entire body is deep yellow, and although its scales are small, they are extremely dense, providing astonishing defensive power. Its hide is also incredibly resilient. However, the Twin-Horned Flood Dragon's attack methods are relatively singular, making it the first target Garen selected after careful consideration.
