Chapter 312: the return of the devil blade and the ice muscle fluid

Translator: 549690339 

after a short conversation, bai wushang came to a realization.

it had been almost three months since they left the bug tribe’s remains. sobina, who was already at the peak of soul servant-level, was only half a step away from breaking through to the mystic general level.

under normal circumstances, she had already advanced.

however, for the sake of the secret gem city, he did not hesitate to suppress it and delay the breakthrough of his soul power.

her black swamp crocodile and poison arrow frog were both at the peak of their mature stage.

coupled with his unique ‘dirty’ fighting routine.

his overall strength was ranked among the top ten of the soul servant-ranked students participating in the competition.

the golden-haired woman smiled sweetly. ”

“wushang, if there’s a chance in the secret realm, we can continue to cooperate.”

bai wushang smiled and agreed.

even though he was fully qualified to act independently with his current strength, he was still very confident.

however, regarding the small world left behind by the lord and the other trial-takers …

especially when there were alien races like the orc tribe.

there were too many uncertain risks.

when necessary, cooperating with allies such as jiang feng and sobina, who had worked with him before, would only bring him benefits.

……

with the quota in hand, bai wushang no longer had any scruples.

in the last 15 days, he was busy cooking recipes, making life substitution dolls, and hunting lightning-type rations.

he drew another ten treasure chests in succession.

unfortunately, his luck was off, and all of them had strange effects.

none of them could be put to use immediately.

however, good luck and bad luck mutually reinforced and countered each other, sharing the same fate.

on the last ten days before the opening of the secret realm, demon blade jiang lingyue returned to the college.

the first thing she did after returning was to challenge wu xiu.

as for the exact process, no one knew.

however, the final result shocked countless people.

shanhai’s outstanding fourth-year student, the famous 5th seat, bi ‘an giant spirit guard-wu xiu.

he was defeated.

even if he was defeated, he was still defeated!

on this day, demon blade’s name resounded throughout the academy.

no one had witnessed the entire battle, but her reputation was well known.

this was because the 5th position of the shanhai’s top ten had been officially taken!

the defeated wu xiu had to abide by the agreement of the ten heroes and temporarily exchange for the tenth seat.

if he wanted to take back a higher position, he would need to fight again.

……

in the villa.

bai wushang drank the hot tea in his hand in one gulp and asked in puzzlement, ”

“you’re saying that wu xiu is certain that song jie’s matter has nothing to do with him?”

the black-haired woman sitting opposite him stroked the fur of the mini ice fox in her hand and calmly said, ”

“yes, those were his exact words.”

bai wushang cupped his chin, not saying a word.

he had just returned from the wilderness and was surprised to see jiang lingyue.

the other party had once stated that if he did not see her within half a month …

most likely, he didn’t make it through the fourth ice tide.

now that it had reappeared more than ten days later, bai wushang was naturally a little surprised.

he was surprised that the other party had survived.

shocked that after experiencing the tribulations of life and death, the other party’s soul power didn’t retreat but advanced instead, climbing to the middle stage of the mysterious general level.

he was surprised that the other party did not hesitate and cut the gordian knot.

he wanted to face wu xiu head-on and find out who was the mastermind behind song jie’s scheme.

“this woman is not to be trifled with …”

bai wushang sighed and analyzed, ”

“this is a little troublesome.”

“if it really wasn’t wu xiu and was someone else …”

“you’d better be careful, don’t suffer another big loss.”

jiang lingyue nodded and didn’t dwell on this topic.

this was her own business.

she told bai wushang because bai wushang had brought it up, not because she had asked for help.

the other party did not have the ability to get involved in this matter.

there was also no need to put himself in unfathomable danger.

therefore, jiang lingyue went straight to the point and said, ”

“i’m here to repay you for your help. i’ll give you two gifts.”

” i’ve heard about the city of gemstones. it just so happens that you’re in urgent need of improving your strength, right? ”

although this question had a faint tone of rhetorical question.

however, the black-haired woman did not hesitate. with a flash of light, she took out two items from her ring.

there were two boxes. one was blue with gold embellishments, while the other was gold with array patterns.

they seemed to be special containers of high value, and he didn’t know what was hidden inside.

bai wushang pursed his lips. he didn’t bother with formalities or politeness.

in order to save jiang lingyun, he had indeed risked his life and even lost several of his trump cards.

although his main purpose was not to repay the debt, he wanted to get rid of future trouble and get rid of song jie, this big trouble.

but since the other party had done so, he would give a gift.

bai wushang had the right to accept it.

he opened the blue box.

what he saw was a blue potion.

“this is ice muscle fluid.”

jiang lingyue said calmly, ” this is a special medicine passed down from my family. it should be used with my bloodline talent to double the effect. ”

” it’s used to strengthen the human body and make the master’s physique stronger. ”

bai wushang was slightly surprised. this was a very rare type of potion.

for a master, the soul was the core.

the physical body was important, but the corresponding research and development items could never be considered mainstream.

it could only be considered a supplementary tool along with precious artifacts and secret techniques.

in the end, the benefits of continuously strengthening the physical body were far inferior to directly strengthening the soul power.

after all, every time his soul power grew, his physique would naturally increase by a level.

he didn’t even need to specially cultivate to continuously become stronger.

the only regret was that at every realm, the master was far inferior to the transcendent creatures of his realm. this was the innate weakness of humans.

in other words, even if he didn’t strengthen his soul power but his pets …

the benefits were more direct and clear, and the improvement of his overall combat strength was more obvious.

humans had no claws or fangs.

there were no various physical skills.

ordinary fist techniques, sword techniques, and saber techniques were simply unrated mortals ‘dao.

at most, it could be used as a reference.

compared to the most original way of controlling beasts, one was in the sky and the other was on the ground. there was no comparison at all.

as time went by, the “path of body techniques” that xiao tieshi carried out would become useful and valuable.

however, not everyone was willing to spend time, energy, and endure all kinds of torture to try to walk this path and learn this part of the content.

he clearly had a pet, so why did he have to do such a thankless thing?

i have the time to cultivate my soul power, train my pets, and learn … isn’t that great?

the defense he lacked was naturally filled with protective equipment, precious artifacts, and secret techniques. was he just lacking this bit of physical strength?

a master was supposed to be the “brain” of a team, acting as the “commander” of the auxiliary pet.

when the main body participated in the battle, it was more for the sake of cooperation and not to directly provide combat power.

it was hard to find a master like jiang lingyue who could fight on the front line on her own among tens of thousands of people of her age.

this path of cultivation could not be achieved by one’s own efforts.

blood succession, ice wheel saber, inherited saber type secret skills … these were all complementary and indispensable preconditions.

it was difficult for outsiders to replicate her growth.

unless there were similar soldier beasts or some special pets that relied on their master’s physical body to exert their combat power.
