1361 Training Together

“Look! This monster has a core!” Huang Xiao Li announced in an excited tone as she dug out a monster core from the magical beast they’d just slew.

“This is our second one today. How lucky.” Tian Yang smiled.

They’ve been hunting magical beasts nonstop for the past month.

After killing a magical beast, they would sell its valuable parts to the merchants for money and keep the cores to boost their own cultivation.

As for the money they earned through selling magical beast parts, they would use it to purchase Appearance Reforming Pills and medicine. Any leftovers would be used to further boost their cultivation.

They would stop hunting at the end of every week to spend a day in a hotel in order to clean themselves among other things at night.

During this month-long period, Tian Yang increased his cultivation to the third-level Spirit Lord. Huang Xiao Li saw the biggest improvements, reaching the peak of Spirit Grandmaster.

When Tian Yang saw how fast Huang Xiao Li was advancing, it reminded him of his own lack of talent.

Despite most of the resources going towards him, Huang Xiao Li was still advancing faster than he did at her level.

It’s been a little over two months since they started their journey to the Desolate Continent, and they have spent about a month and a half on the Desolate Continent itself.

“How long do you plan on staying in this place?” Huang Xiao Li asked him as they lay on the bed at the end of their love session.

“I applied for three months of leave, and I intended to spend at least a month training here,” he said.

“Eh? In that case, you are already late since it will take us at least another month to return to the sect.”

“I know.”

“You’re not worried about punishment? I heard they could be quite severe,” she said in a worried tone.

“This won’t be my first time staying outside the sect longer than I am supposed to, and I have a friend at the sect to rely on during such times. What about you? You’re a fellow disciple, too.”

“I requested four months of leave so I still have some time,” she said.

“Even if I return to the sect late, my situation should give me some leeway.”

Despite mentioning her family’s situation, Huang Xiao Li only sounded a little melancholic, a testament to how much she’d grown since then.

“There is a ship sailing to and from the Desolate Continent at the beginning of every month, so we can leave in two weeks.” Tian Yang said.

“What will you do once you return? Do you have any other family members at home?” he suddenly asked.

“I’m not sure, but I still have my grandparents,” she said.

“How about your family?”

“I’m the only one left,” he calmly said.

“Oh… I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. In fact, I don’t know anything about my real parents. According to the village I grew up in, I was abandoned there shortly after birth. I was adopted by a single mother who was living alone with her daughter, who became my sister. They were killed before I turned ten, and I have been living alone since then.”

“That’s…” Huang Xiao Li was shocked by his background, which she was learning about for the first time.

Their conversation ended shortly after, and they fell asleep a little later.

They continued their training the following day.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

“Let’s start making our way to the docks,” said Tian Yang after they cleaned their bodies at the hotel.

“Alright.”

The docks were located about a hundred miles away from the Southern Stronghold, so it didn’t take too long for them to reach their destination.

At the docks, a massive ship was stationed with some people already boarding it.

“That must be the Swimming Dragon.” Huang Xiao Li said after seeing the dragon’s head at the front of the ship.

There were three different ships that traveled to and from the Desolate Continent.

The Raging Serpent, the Wandering Koi, and the Swimming Dragon.

However, with the Raging Serpent destroyed by the Flying Leviathan, there were only two working ships now.

“Let’s get our room.” Tian Yang said as he approached the dock. 𝘳.𝑐𝘰

“Un!” Huang Xiao Li happily followed along.

However, just as they took a couple of steps, the ground suddenly shook violently, reminiscent of the event that occurred nearly three months ago with the sea demon.

“W-What’s happening?!”

Just as Huang Xiao Li spoke, a black wall suddenly erupted from the edge of the land, enveloping the entire Desolate Continent like some kind of dome.

This black dome covered the entire sky, blocking everything except sunlight.

In the wake of the black dome’s emergence, an authoritative voice echoed across the Desolate Continent. .

“The Desolate Continent has just been sealed. No entry or exit shall be permitted until the entity known as ‘Colossal’ is exterminated.”

Shortly after this announcement, the world started to tremble again as multiple waves of intense spiritual energy swept the Desolate Continent, almost as though there were multiple Immortal experts fighting on the land.

“What the hell is happening?!”

“Who was that speaking?!”

Panicked screaming could be heard coming from the ship in the distance. In fact, everyone on the continent was demanding for answers, but the voice did not return, leaving them to speculate.

“I don’t know what is happening exactly, but it’s obvious that someone is trying to hunt the Colossal…” Tian Yang said to Huang Xiao Li.

“But what does that have to do with us? They can’t keep everyone in here because of that!”

Tian Yang looked at the dome in the sky and sighed, “When you are powerful enough, you can do anything you want. After all, who will stop you?”

“Anyways, let’s get to the ship first. Maybe they can still leave.” Tian Yang suggested a moment later.

“Okay.”

They quickly approached the ship, ignoring the powerful waves of spiritual energy that were constantly sweeping across the continent.
