C110

The body of the giant leopard was dark red, and its hill-sized, robust body seemed to be wreathed in wisps of flames that exuded a fiery aura.

Even with Ye Hao's strength, once he got close to the giant leopard, the heat wave that was coming at him made him unwell.

Bang!

Ye Hao's right hand clenched into a fist. As the power within his body burst out, it collided with the giant leopard's thick and sturdy claws.

The fist and the claw collided and a cry rang out from the giant leopard's large mouth. Its body, which was like a small mountain and was filled with pressure, flew back without any suspense.

Roar!

After creating a long ravine on the rocky ground, the leopard jumped up and let out an even more vicious roar. It seemed as if it didn't notice the gap between Ye Hao and it and actually took the initiative to attack.

"This Flame Beast..." "You don't have a good brain?"

The eyes of the giant leopard glowed red like two rubies. They were filled with a crazy and violent emotion, as if it only knew how to attack without fear of death. It did not have any thoughts of escaping.

Bang!

Ye Hao did not hold back and threw another punch at the giant leopard. Seeing it rush over for the third time, he was certain that the flame beast in the Flame Spirit World seemed to only have a simple consciousness, and was not as intelligent as a demon beast.

"Great Lightning Finger."

After realizing what was going on, Ye Hao did not want to waste any more time. He pointed his finger out and a dark black light that was filled with a terrifying aura penetrated the giant leopard's head.

Bang!

The large leopard fell heavily onto the ground. Immediately, its mountain-like body gradually disappeared. Finally … All that was left was a red crystal the size of a pigeon's egg that emitted a scorching aura, quietly floating in midair.

"This is the Flame Essence?"

Ye Hao was filled with surprise. As he placed the red crystal into his hand, a scorching heat emitted from it, causing his hand to feel a slight stabbing pain.

"The power contained within it is indeed violent and fierce." Ye Hao nodded.

With the strength of his current body, the power that the Flame Essence was emitting was actually able to cause him pain. It was already extremely shocking.

After putting the Flame Essence into his storage bag, Ye Hao looked around. As his heart slightly sunk, his interest in the Flame Spirit World intensified.

Just now, that flame beast was at least comparable to a perfect body tempering cultivator. If it did not break through the human body's shackles, it would definitely be in a miserable state under the ferocious and fearless attack.

One had to know that he had just entered the Flame Spirit World, yet there were already blazing beasts of such strength lurking in the outermost region. If he continued to venture deeper, even cultivators who broke through the shackles of the human body might face life-threatening danger.

At this moment, Ye Hao finally truly understood why this Heavenly Flame Body Refinement Art was able to make so many disciples of the Tianxuan Academy halt in their tracks.

That was because not only did it require an extremely powerful physique to refine the Flame Essence, it was also extremely dangerous to kill the Flame Beast and obtain its Flame Essence.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a cultivator who had broken through the shackles of the human body, it could be said that it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary perfect body tempering martial artist to accomplish these two things.

"No wonder everyone says that this Flame Spirit World is incomparably dangerous. There's a certain level of reasoning behind it." Ye Hao sighed in his heart.

When he was on his way to the Flame Spirit Realm, he had asked around and found out that every year, there would be quite a few Heaven's Chosen who died here.

Tianxuan Academy was only an appropriate reminder of the dangers of the Flame Spirit World, but it still allowed anyone to enter.

On the path of cultivation, every step was already dangerous, and the flowers in the greenhouse were destined to be useless. Only through continuous slaughter and refinement would one become a true expert.

Ye Hao guessed that there must be a hidden reason why Tianxuan Academy allowed anyone to enter the Flame Spirit World. It was to let the disciples of the academy truly understand the cruelty of the path of cultivation.

"Let's find a place to cultivate and try it out."

After his mood fluctuated for a while, Ye Hao didn't waste any more time and flew away.

After obtaining the first Flame Essence, he wanted to try using the Sky Flame Body Training Art to temper his body. He wanted to see if this strongest body tempering cultivation technique of the Sky Profound Academy would have any effect on his current physical body.

After speeding for half an hour, Ye Hao found a hidden cave. He looked around to make sure there was no danger before he entered the cave and sat down cross-legged.

Inside the cave, the walls were dark red as well. Waves of heat emitted from the walls like a furnace.

Ye Hao took out the fiery-red Flame Essence that was emitting a scorching heat. Without much hesitation, he threw it into his mouth and swallowed it. Then, he started to practice the Sky Flame Body Refinement Art.

Once the Flame Essence entered his mouth, Ye Hao felt as if he had swallowed a drop of lava. Waves of scorching and violent energy spread throughout his body.

At this moment, if it were anyone else, even if they were a cultivator who had broken through the shackles of their body, they would not be able to bear the pain.

But for Ye Hao, it was just a slight frown.

When he had refined that blood drop, he had been able to withstand the inhuman pain. Not to mention that the power of this Flame Essence was far from being able to withstand it.

He calmed his heart and calmed his mind.

As he operated the Heavenly Flame's body refining technique, the wild power of the Flame Essence was drawn to every part of his body by Ye Hao.

Zang-fu organs, meridian channels, bones...

Under the tempering of the Flame Essence's scorching energy, every corner of his body seemed to have been strengthened.

"..."

An hour later, Ye Hao finally let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"It worked!"

Carefully experiencing the slight enhancement in his physique, Ye Hao's eyes showed signs of excitement, even though the increase in his physique was minuscule, almost negligible.

One must know that the strength of his physical body was nearing the twenty thousand jin stage. This increase in strength was already extremely extraordinary.

"This Heavenly Flame Body Refining Art is indeed not simple. If I continuously borrow the Flame Essence to refine my body, the strength of my body may truly break the limit of twenty thousand Jin!" Thinking of this, Ye Hao's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Breaking through the shackles of the human body at ten thousand Jin could be considered a heaven-defying genius. Even a transcendent power like Tianxuan Academy would place great importance on such a disciple.

The strength of his physical body had broken through 20,000 pounds … Let alone hearing it in the past, Ye Hao didn't even dare to imagine it.

"This body tempering technique …" This is truly not something that this academy can possess. Looks like the Tianxuan Academy's foundation is not that simple. " Shen Jiuyou's thoughtful voice sounded out.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jiuyou solemnly said, "Brat, you have to use all of your strength to break through the 20,000 jin barrier!"

"Uncle Shen, is there anything special about this?" Ye Hao looked a little curious.

In the past, he had only heard Ye Yunfeng mention it before. The accumulation of a Body Tempering realm cultivator was extremely important, and as for the specifics, he wasn't too clear on them.

"The first level of Body Tempering is one of the most important foundations of a cultivator. It is related to the future of the Dao Fruit. One must not be careless." Shen Jiuyou patiently explained, "You should have heard of the fifth grade Life Sea, right?"

"Fifth grade Life Sea?"

Ye Hao was confused and awkwardly shook his head.

Shen Jiuyou sighed, the only flaw of Ye Hao was that his family background was too weak.
