As expected of an Earth Tier Lower Grade Martial Technique, the Gale Blade was incredibly versatile and unpredictable.
Its burst damage couldn’t compare to Mountain Collapse, and it was weaker than Celestial Star Palm in close combat, but the versatility of its ranged attacks was simply astonishing.
It had versatility, damage, and range—it was absolutely perfect.
Seeing that the Gale Blade could actually harm the Kedo Beast, Tang Yi’s hands began to move in a continuous blur, sending out one Wind Blade after another.
He unleashed another Wind Blade Five-Link Attack!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!
This attack also tore bloody holes in the Kedo Beast’s body, causing it to bleed profusely and sending it into a rage.
ROAR!
The Kedo Beast, repeatedly attacked and wounded by Tang Yi, grew extremely furious. It let out a great roar, its huge, round eyes staring at Tang Yi with such rage it looked like it wanted to eat him alive.
The Kedo Beast had lived in the Wind Moon Forest for so long. When had it ever been injured like this?
Even some powerful Level 5 Demon Beasts didn’t dare provoke it, unable to cause it even the slightest harm. To think it would be wounded at the hands of a small human... This was simply unforgivable! The Kedo Beast felt utterly insulted.
’This puny human before me must die!’
The injured Kedo Beast grew even more frenzied, launching a ferocious assault on Tang Yi. However, it wasn’t a Demon Beast that specialized in speed. With its sluggish pace, trying to hit Tang Yi—who possessed both the Divine Boots and an Earth Tier Body Technique like Phantom Step—was nothing more than a pipe dream.
And so, no matter how berserk the Kedo Beast became or how ferocious its attacks were, it could never touch so much as a corner of Tang Yi’s robe. Relying on his superior Body Technique and Speed, Tang Yi circled it, continuously using Gale Blade for ranged attacks. He was treating the Kedo Beast as a glorified training dummy to increase his Skill Level with the Gale Blade.
At this point, even if the Kedo Beast wanted to escape, it couldn’t. With its slow speed, there was no way it could get away from Tang Yi; he could catch up to it with ease.
Unable to land a hit and unable to escape, it could only endure Tang Yi’s relentless attacks. The Kedo Beast felt incredibly aggrieved.
ROAR!
After a long while, the Kedo Beast let out one last, sorrowful roar of indignation before collapsing to the ground, its eyes filled with defiance. Its blood was everywhere. The entire battlefield was a sea of crimson, thick with the pungent stench of blood.
Looking at the Kedo Beast, one could see its body was riddled with hundreds of bloody holes. It was wounded all over, with chunks of its flesh scattered across the ground. It was an extremely gruesome sight. For such a mighty Fierce Beast to meet such a tragic end, it was no wonder its final roar had been filled with such unwillingness.
And just like that, the Kedo Beast—a creature of immense size, with a body like a small mountain, terrifying Defense Power, and strength at Level 5—was slowly but surely killed by Tang Yi, whittled down by nothing but Wind Blades.
The battle had lasted a long time, but for Tang Yi, it had been completely stress-free. The Kedo Beast’s hide was just thick, making it a little more troublesome to kill, that’s all.
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for killing the Level 5 Demon Beast, the Kedo Beast. You have received 500,000 Experience Value and 10 Full-Attribute Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations to Player Tang Yi for a successful higher-level challenge. You have received an additional 100,000 Experience Value and 10 Full-Attribute Pills."
"Ding! Congratulations to Tang Yi for leveling up. Current Level: Eight-star Battle Spirit."
The 600,000 Experience Value he gained allowed Tang Yi to finally level up, reaching the rank of an Eight-star Battle Spirit. On top of that, he also received 20 Full-Attribute Pills.
Although he missed out on the first-kill bonus he got from killing the Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird, which meant 200,000 less Experience Value, the rewards were still quite substantial.
Now an Eight-star Battle Spirit, Tang Yi could be considered a regional powerhouse. He was just one step away from joining the ranks of Battle King Powerhouses.
But it wasn’t enough!
This new Level didn’t make Tang Yi arrogant or complacent. He knew this amount of power was still far from enough.
To go to the Purple Cloud Sect for payback, to travel to the Outer Domain to marry Tang Lian... this level of strength was nowhere near enough!
Gazing into the depths of the Wind Moon Forest, Tang Yi exhaled, his expression growing even more determined.
’Since this isn’t enough, I’ll just have to redouble my efforts!’
With that thought, his figure flashed as he resumed his search through the Wind Moon Forest, working even harder to level up.
Time passed quickly...
Tang Yi had already been in the Wind Moon Forest for half a month. The qualification exam was in two days, so he had no choice but to stop his killing spree and prepare to leave.
After half a month of diligent leveling, his strength had reached the rank of a Nine-star Battle Spirit. He was just a hair’s breadth away from becoming a Battle King.
If he had more time, perhaps another day or two of killing would have been enough for him to advance to the Battle King rank. However, there was no time left to level up, so he had to stop.
Over the past half-month, not only had Tang Yi’s Level increased significantly, but his Combat Power had also undergone a heaven-and-earth-shattering transformation. This wasn’t just due to his higher Level, but more so because his proficiency with his Martial Techniques had grown, increasing their power several times over. He was in a completely different league compared to before.
Thanks to Tang Yi’s focused training, the Skill Levels for Mountain Collapse, Celestial Star Palm, and Gale Blade had all reached one hundred percent. The power they could unleash was now several times greater than before.
Tang Yi had also raised the Skill Level of his Body Technique, Phantom Step, to one hundred percent. His Speed was now even faster than that of an ordinary Battle King. Tang Yi was confident that no one below the rank of a Five-star Battle King could so much as touch a single hair on his head, which showed just how much faith he had in his own Speed.
Of course, during this trip, Tang Yi had only managed to raise the Skill Level of those four Martial Techniques to one hundred percent. His other abilities, whether they were his Basic Skills or his Exotic Fire, were not yet maxed out.
Training the Sword Skill Celestial Heart Guide was even more difficult. As for his Finishing Move, he hadn’t practiced it due to a lack of Battle God Value.
In fact, the day after Tang Yi killed the Kedo Beast, his Skill Level for Gale Blade had already maxed out. He then switched to practicing the Sword Skill Celestial Heart Guide. However, even after killing five or six Level 5 Demon Beasts, its Skill Level had only increased by a mere one or two points. The progress was incredibly slow, which frustrated Tang Yi to no end.
However, he knew this sort of thing couldn’t be rushed; he would just have to train it slowly over time. After all, Celestial Heart Guide was an Earth Tier Upper Grade sword skill and, aside from his Finishing Move, his highest-grade skill. It was only natural that its Skill Level would be more difficult to raise.
In addition, perhaps due to the prolonged slaughter, Tang Yi now exuded a terrifying killing intent wherever he went. People who looked into his eyes would feel an involuntary sense of fear, not daring to meet his gaze. His entire disposition seemed to have undergone a strange transformation.
The previous ’Tang Yi’, who had never cultivated, had been extremely frail—the type who looked like he could be blown over by a gust of wind. That was why he had been severely injured in a fight and subsequently died, allowing the Tang Yi from Earth to conveniently transmigrate and take over.
After obtaining the system, although Tang Yi had shed his former weakness, he still looked no different from an ordinary person. However, after this series of slaughters, the killing intent erupting from him gave him a fierce and intimidating aura.
His aura was terrifying and utterly inscrutable. He gave off the feeling that he would kill at the slightest disagreement.
However, Tang Yi himself hadn’t noticed this change. After cleaning up the battlefield, he prepared to leave the Wind Moon Forest.
Just then, a cry echoed from the sky, and a Golden-blooded Extreme Shadow Bird flew toward him.
