Chapter 514 - Shoot Him Down

David managed to sit back up, eating more meat and in the blink of an eye, he had devoured the entire waist of the four meter tall meat. One could only wonder how such a small person who wasn't even two meters tall could achieve such a feat.

Bleegh!

David belched and rubbed his abdomen softly. The previous pain he had experienced had disappeared, followed by a feeling of strength.

David repeated this process for the entire day and he was finally down to the fourth rank 5 beast. While their energy was potent for David, four rank 5 beast could only last a day worth of practice for David, making him horrified.

"As expected, humans flesh and blood are still the best." David shook his head softly.

"Flint." a shadow flashed and a tiny beast the size of two fists appeared on the ground.

Grrrr!

Flint growled softly at David for disturbing its sleep. "It's time for you to work boy. I need lots of Rank 5 meat to cultivate."

This time, Flint stopped groaning and stared at David blankly. It was still a Rank 4 beast and hadn't even evolved to rank 5 and now this weird looking two-legged beast was telling it to go hunt not one rank 5 beasts, but multiple. Did he get hit in the head by the other two-legged beast he had fought previously?

Thinking up to here, Flint didn't bother with David and was about to return to the inner world, but there was a resistance as it couldn't get inside.

Roaaar!

It was instantly infuriated, glaring at David. Was this two legged beast actually serious?

"Don't bother, I won't let you enter the inner world or the storage ring unless you bring at least ten rank 5 beast bodies." David said indifferently.

Flint immediately barked speechlessly like a dog, which was odd. It had been thoroughly speechless by David's words! Ten rank five beasts!? Why don't you just kill me! It immediately laid down on the ground. It seems it would rather just stay outside than go court death.

David blinked his eyes. It seems he had asked for too much from Flint. "Can you stop giving that expression of disdain? I know you are stronger than a regular rank 5 beast. Moreover, your healing capabilities are incredibly so you should be fine."

Flint let out a beastly snort and faced the other way. Lying at the ground silently, munching on some leftover bones David had eaten remaining.

"Alright, eight. If you hunt eight, I will count it as you helping me." David relented.

Flint stood up and with its claws, it drew three lines.

David's expression changed slightly. "No can't do! Eight is the least."

Flint blinked its eyes hearing the resolution from David's tone and drew four lines.

"Seven is my borderline."

Flint hesitate and gritted its teeth before drawing one more line to the four previous lines making them six.

David furrowed his brows and eventually, he nodded his head with a smile on his face."Alright, five it is."

Flint immediately glanced at David suspiciously. Had this two-legged strange beast cheated it?

With a threatening roar, it turned to leave.

"Don't worry, when you are done, you can enter the inner world." David smiled as he waved to Flint.

Just like that, David continued his practice and with the help from Flint, he was able to go another day practising the heaven grade technique without any trouble.

"It's the third day now. The Ship should be here any time soon." David muttered to himself. Standing up to his feet, he clenched his fist to feel his strength and a smile formed on his lips.

"Just two days of practice, and my strength have almost doubled. My body is now comparable to when I activate the Tenth star of the Twelve-step strengthening technique. Once it reaches the twelfth star, I should be able to kill a heaven realm expert in a single punch but this will do for now."

David smiled softly. But then he felt sad. The technique that had helped him through numerous times would soon be useless. Once he achieves 12 times his normal strength, the technique would be completely useless since it was based on his normal strength previously.

David couldn't bear to leave it, but he would soon outgrow it and that was a good thing worth celebrating.

What he was most worried about was the fact that he hadn't achieved the Gold Body even after everything he had been through. He had advanced naturally to the Iron Body and then the Silver Body.

But the Gold Body seem to be difficult to reach. He could tell he was at the threshold already, but he couldn't take that last step, he was at a loss for what to do since he had no one to guide him with it.

Shrugging softly, he would figure things out later, as for now, he was happy about his increase his strength.

He then gazed at Flint who was glaring at him viciously. David smiled. "You think you can each my herbs and go unpunished?"

Naturally, David was still feeling pained in his heart about the herbs. They were grade five and grade four herbs there. How could he forgive so easily?

"It should be time." Ignoring the growling sound from Flint, he jumped out from the mountain hole he was in.

"Finally fresh air." David closed his eyes and inhaled.

Then he abruptly gazed at the sky almost a kilometre away. 'The old guy had been right after all.'

Revolving his blood, the mountain behind him collapsed as a massive shockwave blasted from beneath David's feet, propelling him forwards with an inconceivable speed. Naturally, Flint was resting on his shoulder.

Within The large Sky Fighter, the pilot's expression changed slightly.

"Sir, something is headed for us at a speed three times that of sound." His panic voice rang out through the ship.

The captain opened one of his eyes softly and spoke.. "Shoot it down."
