Chapter 6 - Killing Demonic Beasts' Cores

The transparent Source Spirit's appetite and ability were big. Wang Jin realized that the density of his current Source Spirit was far greater than other practitioners of the same price.

If I had a primeval vein, I would really want to stay here for a long time.

However, after absorbing the primeval stone and raising his cultivation to the late stage of the third stage of the Source Spirit Realm, Wang Jin did not want to continue cultivating. Because he felt that his cultivation had already reached a saturation point, and there seemed to be some sort of barrier that prevented the growth of the Source Spirit's power, and only by breaking this barrier, would he be able to continue growing.

We have reached a bottleneck again, but breaking through this bottleneck is not a short term matter. Otherwise, the number of experts in the Mortal Continent would be as many as the hairs on ox. Wang Jin said with furrowed brows.

What he was worried about was, with his cultivation at the late stage of the third stage of the Source Spirit Realm, would he be able to defeat Wang Chutian, who was at the fourth stage of the Source Spirit Realm? Since Wang Chutian joined the Cloud Couple Palace a year ago, he must have learned the corresponding martial skills since long ago. His overall strength is way greater than mine.

With three more days left, it was time for the competition. It seemed that time was too late for Wang Jin.

Just as Wang Jin was deep in thought, his ears suddenly detected a low roar that was as small as a mosquito coming from the nearby weeds.

"What is it, come out!" Wang Jin picked up a rock and flicked it.

"Whiz!"

A scarlet red figure suddenly scuttled out from the weeds and circled around Wang Jin.

This was a strange looking monster, as big as a calf, in the shape of a hedgehog, its hair burning with flames.

"Rank 3 beast, Flammulina?" Wang Jin squinted his eyes.

Demonic beasts were the evolution of normal wild beasts. Their intelligence was higher than wild beasts, and they also had Source Spirit s, allowing them to cultivate. It had a certain chance to produce a beast core. A beast core was an indispensable ingredient for refining pills and equipment.

Generally speaking, the demon beasts in the deep mountains would not easily enter a place where humans lived. They knew that having people with high cultivation would cause danger to them. This demon beast appeared at the back of the Wang family mountain. Firstly, there were not many people visiting the back mountain, and secondly, it must have been raining heavily recently. It was hard to find food in the mountains, so it risked intruding into human territory to hunt.

As for Flammulina, fire type demon beasts, their natures were savage, and once they had determined their prey, they would not rest until they were dead.

Just like humans craved beast cores, beasts also had a great interest in the Profound Qi of human warriors. If they could eat them, they would definitely make up for it. It had long since observed Wang Jin's cultivation at the side and knew that Wang Jin was at the third level of the Source Spirit Realm. After thinking about it again and again, it decided to launch a sneak attack, only to be discovered by Wang Jin ahead of time.

Compared to humans, demon beasts, due to their extremely thick bodies, often held the upper hand when fighting against warriors of the same cultivation level. This was the reason why Flammulina wanted to hunt Wang Jin.

"With so many people salivating over the Blue Jade Sword, let me see its power." Wang Jin pulled out the blue jade sword that was shining with a silver light from his waist.

"Aooo!" The Flammulina roared, and shot towards Wang Jin like an arrow.

The power of Source Spirit, circulate!

Wang Jin channeled his [Essence] into the blue jade sword, waving it about unhurriedly.

Dang, dang, dang!

After a few attacks, the Flammulina had failed to return. Instead, it's sharp claws had been cut off by the blue jade sword.

Furthermore, every time the Flammulina tried to burn Wang Jin, its proud, blazing fur would be driven away by the blue jade sword.

After only a few rounds of battle, the Flammulina knew that it had kicked a steel plate, and thus, it backed off mentally.

Swoosh!

It turned to run.

"Evil creature, leave behind the beast core!" Wang Jin raised his sword and chased after her.

The Flammulina's eyes flashed with a crafty look, suddenly turned, opened her mouth and fiercely spat out a ball of blazing hot fireball at Wang Jin!

Such a cunning demon beast, with its personality that would kill its prey the moment it decided on it, why would it run away? So it was a trap to lure me in! Wang Jin thought.

However, in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks were useless!

"Hah!" Wang Jin bellowed, he raised his blue jade sword and slashed at the incoming fireball.

Crack!

The blazing ball of fire was split into two, and flew towards Wang Jin's left and right.

Taking the chance, Wang Jin kicked the Flammulina's weak white abdomen, causing it to fall to the ground.

"Kill a man-eating demon beast like you!" Wang Jin held the blue jade sword, and stabbed it into the Flammulina's abdomen again and again.

The sharp Primer was like cutting paper, stabbing at the Flammulina's abdomen, causing it to be riddled with holes. It screamed miserably, and before long, the cruel beast died.

"What a powerful Primer, it actually let me kill a demon beast that's even more powerful than warriors of the same level!" Wang Jin was overjoyed.

"Humph!" Wang Anguo, you bunch of jackals, you want to snatch the thing that Abba left for me?

Whether it was a demon beast or a human warrior, as long as they died, their Source Spirit would turn into a magnificent halo of light and disappear.
