Fifth-Order Magical Beast! Tempted!

Fifth-Order Magical Beast! Tempted!

A full twenty Beast Flames—most of their energy had basically been turned into spirits and used for the evolution of his cultivation technique.

But the remaining energy, combined with Wang Chen's cultivation over this period, had also raised his strength by another minor realm.

Of course, this increase was mainly due to the growing number of Flame Spirits, which had strengthened his physique to a certain extent.

This allowed him to absorb and refine more energy within the same amount of time, greatly accelerating his cultivation speed.

That was how he had managed to rise another minor realm in such a short time.

Maintaining such speed in the future without some special opportunity would basically be impossible.

Even so, Wang Chen's cultivation speed was already terrifying enough.

It was only Wang Chen's current physique that was holding back his growth rate.

Otherwise, his growth would have been even more outrageous.

Still, that was only natural. Wang Chen was still young.

He was not even twelve yet, right at the age of rapid physical development.

Once Wang Chen officially reached adulthood, his physique would become even more monstrous. By then, his cultivation speed would probably soar.

Perhaps advancing one minor realm every three days and two every five days would not be impossible.

Just as dawn broke, a black-robed figure in a safe area opened his eyes.

That person was Wang Chen.

He had already spent twenty-five days in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Over those twenty-five days, his gains had been quite impressive.

They had far exceeded his initial expectations.

Thus, Wang Chen was preparing to leave.

After all, he had already devoured twenty types of Beast Flame, and the number of Flame Spirits he possessed was already quite considerable.

Even if he stayed longer, he would not gain much more.

After all, he did not want to keep devouring Tier 3 Beast Flames.

His cultivation technique had a limit on the number it could absorb. If he devoured too many low-grade Beast Flames now, then even if he encountered Advanced Beast Flames later, he would have no way to devour them.

Devouring some low-grade Beast Flames early on to speed up his growth and enhance his combat strength was entirely acceptable.

But if devouring large quantities of low-grade Beast Flames caused his own growth potential to decline, Wang Chen would never accept that.

As a transmigrator who had read countless novels, he would not be so shortsighted.

That was why Wang Chen had not immediately gone out to continue searching.

Over the previous twenty-five days, he had basically set out as soon as dawn broke.

Now that he was preparing to leave, there was naturally no reason to head out so early again.

After being busy for twenty-five straight days, even with the Golden Finger's assistance, he had still accumulated some mental fatigue.

Now that he had time, Wang Chen naturally wanted to rest properly.

Besides, there was still some time before Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy Selection Tournament. There was no need to hurry over a single day.

Completely relaxing mentally was also greatly beneficial to recovery.

However, Wang Chen was not some reckless fool. He knew perfectly well what kind of place this was.

Although he himself had relaxed, he still had Flame Spirits standing guard nearby.

Due to Wang Chen's own limitations, the Flame Spirits were only Tier 4.

But using them for vigilance was not a problem at all.

Watching the Flame Spirits keep careful watch, Wang Chen could not help but sigh at how incredible his Golden Finger truly was.

These Flame Spirits were practically no different from Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

Other than lacking physical bodies and being made entirely of fire, their intelligence was in no way inferior to that of true Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

Moreover, every time they advanced in rank, the Flame Spirits' intelligence would increase.

At the same time, their innate abilities would also improve dramatically.

This thing was far more absurd than Huohuo's Flame Mantra.

Relying on the Flame Spirits' special abilities, Wang Chen had created a unique Dou Technique himself.

And it was even a unique Dou Technique recognized by the Golden Finger.

Of course, its rank was classified as special.

But its power was absolutely terrifying.

Before he had first entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Wang Chen had needed to use some trump cards to kill a Fifth-Order Magical Beast.

But now, Wang Chen only needed this special Dou Technique to slay a Fifth-Order Magical Beast.

It could be said that this special Dou Technique had directly pushed Wang Chen's ability to fight above his level to the extreme.

Of course, this Dou Technique consumed a great deal of energy as well.

But with Wang Chen's current strength, he could bear the cost.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Chen relaxed like this until noon.

By then, he had adjusted himself to peak condition in every aspect.

Just as he was packing up and preparing to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range for Jia Nan Academy, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation of energy.

It was immediately followed by an enraged tiger's roar!

The sound was not far from where he was, and Wang Chen clearly sensed that it had come from a Fifth-Order Magical Beast.

However, Wang Chen did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, he carefully considered the earlier energy fluctuation.

That energy fluctuation had made his body stir slightly.

This was not normal!

It meant that whatever had released that energy fluctuation held a great attraction for Wang Chen.

Of course, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was still home to the greatest number of Magical Beasts.

When that energy fluctuation erupted, the Magical Beasts throughout this area seemed to grow restless.

But following that tiger's roar, their restlessness subsided.

Of course, that was mainly because the energy fluctuation had ended too quickly and had not spread very far.

Wang Chen had only noticed it because he was not too far away. Otherwise, he definitely would not have sensed it.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen immediately left his hiding place.

He headed toward the source of that energy fluctuation.

Although he already knew that a Fifth-Order Magical Beast was there.

Fortune favored the bold.

A treasure capable of making him react from merely a single energy fluctuation was completely worth taking a gamble on.

Besides, it was only a Fifth-Order Magical Beast. It was not as though he could not handle it.

If this had been when he had first entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Wang Chen might have needed to consider it carefully and proceed with caution.

But now, he possessed a special Dou Technique capable of unleashing power beyond his level. Killing a Fifth-Order Magical Beast was not much of a problem at all.

Under such circumstances, Wang Chen naturally could not retreat.

He preferred to be cautious, but that did not mean he lacked an adventurous spirit.

When success was absolutely impossible, Wang Chen might choose to take a step back.

But when he had a very high chance of success, Wang Chen would naturally take the risk.

Perhaps he would not only obtain a treasure, but also gain a Tier 5 Beast Flame.

Such enormous benefits were enough to make Wang Chen put in the effort.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen rushed over.

The distance had not been far to begin with, and at Wang Chen's full speed, he arrived in no time.
