Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Dream Battlefield - Stage 2

There are numerous types of Spirit Techniques, but combined Spirit Techniques are rarely seen.

The Myriad Beasts Battle Technique is a comprehensive set of Spirit Techniques that integrates offense and defense. Even if it circulates in the market, it is often broken apart.

It is rare to wholly learn a set of combined Spirit Techniques among low-tier Martial Artists.

In the following days, Baiyu remained secluded at his residence, meticulously reading each form of the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique, practicing Spirit Techniques while honing his Blood Qi.

A week later.

Baiyu memorized the operational pathways of the Thirty-Six Forms of the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique to perfection.

His Blood Qi, after this period of cultivation, unprecedentedly reached 240 carats. However, after reaching this point, a subtle sense of fullness emanated from his entire body.

It couldn’t be enhanced further.

carats is the maximum Blood Qi his body can currently possess.

Next, he needs to practice Forged Skin and Bone Refining to enhance the body’s strength. According to the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, one must practice Forged Skin three times, Bone Refining three times, and finally integrate Blood Qi throughout the body.

The difference between Tier Nine Martial Artists and Quasi-Martial Artists lies in their skin and bones.

After practicing Forged Skin and Bone Refining, their bodies become formidable weapons, absolutely no less powerful than any alloy weapon, also able to hold more Blood Qi.

Baiyu didn’t rush to start practicing Forged Skin.

Upon reaching the 240 carat Blood Qi threshold, he closed his eyes, sinking his consciousness into the scholar space.

The space was still the same.

Besides the screen displaying his status being lit, all other screens were in darkness, undergoing upgrades.

Baiyu didn’t care about these, immediately lying down in the corner coffin.

[Scene: Floating Cloud Mountain, Eternal City]

[Usage Time: Eight hours (Six hours and twenty-seven minutes remaining)]

[Identity: Inheritor]

[Requirement: Three consecutive victories, may accumulate! (One victory already)]

[Reward: Martial Dao Inheritance - Chongming Bird]

[Warm-up Privileges: Freely try weapons, freely designate warriors the host had encountered before]

[Rule: Floating Cloud Mountain challenge time limit is eight hours, during which you can freely warm up, start challenges, pause challenges, and end challenges. If Chongming Bird inheritance isn’t obtained within eight hours, the map scene will be randomly selected upon the next entry!]

...

After a blurred sensation, Baiyu once again stood on that circular, mist-filled battle arena.

There were still a little over six hours left.

Time was ample.

Today, he intended to conquer all three challenges to obtain the reward here.

After all, this was an experience granted by finishing the first stage of the main task, and he wasn’t quite sure what he could gain in the Dream Battlefield.

Once he set his mind on starting the challenge.

The mist roiled, forming a towering Exotic Beast.

"It turns out not to be a puppet this time..."

Baiyu focused his gaze, quickly receiving feedback information.

[Ancient War Beast]

[Status: Weakened Version]

[Faction: Myth]

[Abilities: Thick Hide, Horned Spike Attack, Earth Trample]

...

He only received the names of three abilities.

This Ancient War Beast looked like a pig with the head of a buffalo, with vivid red hooves, yet its body was pitch black, exuding a mystical aura.

A type of Exotic Beast?

Baiyu didn’t think much at the moment, shifting his steps and closing the distance like a phantom.

"Magpie Perching on a Branch!"

He pushed off with his right foot, soaring upwards.

The turbulent Blood Qi gathered in his left leg and came crashing down mid-air.

Myriad Beasts Battle Technique, Third Form, Magpie Perching on a Branch.

A probing move capable of advancing or retreating.

Bang!

The strike landed squarely on the Ancient War Beast’s head, the raging Blood Qi cascading down, causing the beast to roar in pain, eyes becoming bloodshot as it lunged at Baiyu.

Upon seeing this.

Baiyu lightly trod on the beast’s head, rapidly retreating several dozen meters.

With a grasp in the air with his right hand, a Great Guan Blade formed from mist appeared.

This is the ability of the Dream Battlefield, able to simulate the weapons one has in mind.

Of course.

Baiyu attempted to simulate a Gatling and RPG, but there was no response; only cold weapons could be simulated.

"Take this strike, Flood Dragon Gets Water!"

Dragging the blade.

Baiyu’s Blood Qi burst forth, rapidly approaching the Ancient War Beast from the flank. From the earlier contact, this beast should belong to the type with tremendous strength but very slow speed.

The Thick Hide ability likely increased its Blood Qi and defensive capacities.

Earth Trample seemed like an area-based lethal ability.

As for Horned Spike Attack.

Baiyu, approaching from the left wing, was just in time to witness it.

The Ancient War Beast lowered its head, its limbs restlessly plowing the ground, then charged out with immense speed.

Clang clang.

At this pace, Baiyu couldn’t get any closer.

After rushing out several dozen meters, the Exotic Beast turned around and began charging back and forth. This time, its speed more than doubled from the previous charge, causing Baiyu a moment of tension as his Blood Qi burst, narrowly dodging the strike.

Baiyu observed the Exotic Beast’s charging path and continued evading several times. Without activating the Blood Qi, relying solely on his body’s speed would make evading the Ancient War Beast’s charge impossible.

After a round of charging, Baiyu’s Blood Qi was depleted by seventy percent.

Were it not for the core technique cultivation, battling till now would have already exhausted him. It seemed this challenge was intended to test the challenger’s Blood Qi.

Yet now.

The robust recovery ability granted by the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill quickly manifested.

Within several breaths.

The Blood Qi in Baiyu’s Five Meridians became abundant once more, flowing ceaselessly.

The Ancient War Beast, after the incessant charges, finally halted, breathing like rolling thunder.

Baiyu grasped the Great Guan Blade, leaping forward with two strides, furiously hacking at the massive beast’s hind legs.

Followed by more Horned Spike Attacks.

Man and beast engaged in an entangled battle, with the beast possessing formidable life force and Baiyu having freakish recovery power, both determined to exhaust the other to death.

Thus, the fight went on for an hour.

Baiyu panted heavily, his spirit not in the best state.

The Ancient War Beast opposite was equally scarred and battered.

At this time, the giant beast was rooted on the spot, its eyes bloodshot, and its initial action differed for the first time.

Baiyu’s face changed.

He hadn’t forgotten that the opponent still had an ability named Earth Trample.

It seemed like a finishing move to be unleashed at critical health.

Baiyu, disregarding everything, stepped forward in two strides, furiously chopping at the giant beast’s head.

Swish swish swish!

Blade light continuously descended, blood splattering out, turning into mist and blending back into the environment mid-air.

Chopping over twenty blows.

The giant beast let out a reluctant wail, its massive body shuddering, then collapsing with a thunderous crash.

Baiyu panted deeply.

His expenditure was colossal too, and without the ability to quickly recover Blood Qi, passing this challenge would have been impossible.

[Second Battle Victory!]

[Congratulations to the Inheritor for obtaining an Elite Level Cultivation Token!]

The familiar mechanical prompt of the scholar space echoed in the mist.

From a distance, Baiyu watched as the Ancient War Beast dissolved into countless wisps of mist, leaving behind only a dark token, upon which was inscribed the words "Acceleration" in ancient, weighty calligraphy.
