Chapter 95: Road To Become Stronger

Grandmaster Wang and Ye Xiao both looked at each other and shock could be seen in the eyes of both of them.

"You... really refined this Body Tempering Pill." Lastly, Grandmaster Wang could not help but ask.

"Of course, it was I who refined this pill. Not only this pill, look there are another 67 Body Tempering Pills and all of them were refined by me." Ye Xiao said and waved his hand. Suddenly many pill bottles appeared there out of thin air.

Grandmaster Wang hurriedly started to see every single pill from every pill bottles. Finally he said, "I really don't know how you have refined these Body Tempering Pills. All of them have 90% purity."

"Master, is it too low? Do I have no talent in alchemy?" Ye Xiao asked with a disappointed face.

"No talent?"

When Grandmaster Wang heard this, he felt like beating Ye Xiao to a pulp.

If you do not have any talent in alchemy, then what about me?

What about other alchemist of the Alchemist Association?

What about other alchemists of the entire Azure Sky Continent?

Grandmaster Wang felt speechless after hearing Ye Xiao. But he did not wanted to make Ye Xiao feel to proud of himself so he said, "Don't worry. You have talent in alchemy. But you have to work hard and improve yourself. Do you understand?"

"Understood master." Ye Xiao said respectfully.

"Master, I will go now to train. I will come back here after four months." Ye Xiao said and slipped out from the Alchemist Association, heading straight to the Cloudsmoke Forest.

Grandmaster Wang only watched him leaving. He did not said anything as he was thinking of calming himself down. He was still not able to accept the fact that his disciple has such a terrifying talent in alchemy.

"Hahahaha, Hahahaha"

After a while when he calmed himself down, he started laughing like a madman.

"Meng Lei, Just you wait. If not me then my disciple will take revenge for me from you. Just you wait to pay the price of what you have done with me." Grandmaster Wang laughed and laughed. He only stopped after a very long time and then sighed.

A flash of sadness appeared in his eyes and then immediately disappeared. He again regained his composer and went down in good mood.

.....

Ye Xiao ran straight toward the Cloudsmoke Forest.

After the time it took for an incense to burn, a forest appeared before his eyes.

He once again entered the Cloudsmoke Forest. A thick layer of fallen leaves was laid out beneath his feat, while ancient and strange trees, which gave off an aura filled with life as well as damp and decaying stink, surrounded him.

It was very quite, deathly so!

Yet every once in a while, the roars of wild beasts, as though wailing coming from hell, would echo throughout the forest. If one heard these roars of tens of magical beasts at once, it would definitely made one's scalp tingle, such that no one would dare to become numb and be careless.

Last time when he came here for the first round of the competition, that environment was completely different from now. That time, the whole forest was filled with the commotion made by the participants.

Ye Xiao directly ran deeper in the forest and ignored all the magical beasts he encounter along the way. These magical beasts were of very low level and they were of no help to him. So, he directly ignored them and continued to move on.

After almost half an hour, he finally once again appeared in front of the thick layer of fog. He stopped running and looked at the wall of fog.

When he thought of the fifteen spots that was given to the Azure Dragon Country by the Grand Xia Empire, he could not help but clench his hand.

He has to gain a spot no matter what. And only by reaching at least the Ninth Stage of the Origin Core Realm in four months can he gain the opportunity to save a spot in those fifteen spots for himself.

"If you can not accept being mediocre, then the only thing you can do is to risk your life and fight. Fight to become stronger."

"The road to becoming stronger is in front of me and I only have four months in my hand. I have to become stronger no matter what and the time to become stronger starts now."

Ye Xiao took a deep breath. The look in his eyes became strong and determined. Then without looking back even once, he took a step forward and dived in the wall of fog. He continued to walk and after ten breaths of time, he finally passed the thick layer of fog.

He does not why there was a thick layer of fog dividing the forest into two parts. Not only he, but no one in the entire Azure Dragon Country knew about it. Previous generation's King even sent a troop of army in order to find out about the reason behind the appearance of the thick layer of fog but the final result was still very disappointing. Not only did he not found anything about the appearance of the thick layer of fog, he even lost almost half of the troop of army.

Even though he failed to find out anything about the appearance of the thick layer fog but still he managed to find out that there is a Grade Six Magical Beast deep inside the Cloudsmoke Forest. From then on, he never dared to send anyone to the other side of the thick layer of fog and even warned the people of the Azure Dragon Country.

Coming back to the main story...

It was Ye Xiao's second time appearing other side of the thick layer of fog.

The forest here was full of thick and dense foliage, which blocked out most of the sunlight.

With the help of a few rays of sunlight, he could see long lines of ordinary ants, walking straight toward a tree's root. There were caterpillars with sharp spike all over their bodies slowly wiggling on trees, earthworms as thick as a person's arm rolling under dry leaves, revealing their light red bodies.

Ye Xiao found everything here fascinating!

Towering thick and old trees were everywhere. The forest was full of danger and one needed to be extremely careful if one wants to venture deep inside the forest.

Not to mention the countless magical beasts deep inside the forest, even the magical beasts around the border of the thick layer of fog were not to be trifled with lightly.

A tiny poisonous spider or an inconspicuous little snake could take any one's life. One needed to be extremely careful.

Rustle!

As Ye Xiao was carefully walking, the grass in front of him suddenly shook. After pulling the grass away, Ye Xiao focused his gaze in front of him and saw two magical beasts fighting with each other.

One was a pig-like magical beast of second grade and the other magical beast was someone which Ye Xiao was extremely familiar with, an Ironback Ape of second grade.

Both were fighting over a corpse of a monkey like magical beast.

Ye Xiao looked at the pig-like magical beast. It was about the size of ordinary wild boar, but its entire body was greenish red. The tip of its tail was hung high in the sky with a green glimmer. Ye Xiao immediately understood that the boar was very poisonous.

It turned out to be a Scorpion-Tailed Pig.

Ye Xiao's eyes lit up. Even though these two were only second grade magical beasts and were not that much of help to Ye Xiao in increasing his cultivation but he can still gain a little bit.

There is a saying that every drops counts and drops of water may fill an ocean.

So even if he can gain only a little bit of spirit energy after devouring the Ironback Ape and the Scorpion-Tailed Pig, it will still count and can help him gain big.

Ye Xiao took out a sword from his spatial ring and approached toward the two magical beasts quietly.

Ye Xiao's strength was now already equivalent to a martial artist of the Origin Core Realm cultivator and these two magical beasts in front of him have only the strength of a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist.

Scorpion-Tailed Pig and the Ironback Ape, they did not even know that danger was quietly coming. They both continued to fight with each other.

Ye Xiao suddenly speed up and appeared in front of the two magical beasts and swung his sword with full strength two times.

After that... There was no after.

Both magical beasts were of second grade. They did not even have the slightest of strength to retaliate against Ye Xiao. Ye Xiao chopped off their heads from their bodies and they both fell down on the ground lifelessly.
