Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 1163-1166



Chapter 1163 – Entering Yellowsand Planet

Zhao Hai was currently calmly sitting inside his room in a ship. This room wasn't big, only at about 20 square meters. Moreover, he wasn't the only one in the room. All in all, the room accommodated four people. They lived together in bunk beds stuck on the wall.

Zhao Hai didn't know anyone in the room with him. Although he scanned the information about the participants, he didn't pay any attention to them.

But still, Laura and the others reminded Zhao Hai to leave a good impression. Therefore, when Zhao Hai entered the room, he greeted everyone inside in a friendly manner. However, what met him were hostile gazes. Naturally, since they were hostile, Zhao Hai didn't care about them anymore.

Zhao Hai also knew why they were like this. Although they were roommates today, when the match starts, they would be enemies. There was no need to maintain any friendly attitude towards each other.

This time, Cadjo and Margaret weren't with him. There were 100 ships that set off from Machine Field Planet to send Zhao Hai and the others to Yellowsand Planet. Then after that, they would be left alone to fend off against the planet's dangers.

Although there was quite a distance between Yellowsand Planet and Machine Field Planet, the travel between the two planets went peacefully. After all, these 100 ships were sent from the capital. Nobody would dare touch a fleet like this.

It took the fleet ten days altogether to reach Yellowsand Planet. However, Zhao Hai's silver needles were faster than the ships. They arrived at the planet sooner and began to do a search on the area.

The ships stopped right outside the planet's atmosphere as Zhao Hai and the others were grouped up in their ship's decompression chamber. There were 1,000 other participants inside the ship Zhao Hai was in. However, Zhao Hai didn't know any of them, none of the top ten experts were here.

At this time a Mage walked over and said, "All of you will be staying inside Yellowsand Planet for three days. These are your transmitters. You need to have them on your body at all times, and they cannot be placed inside your spatial equipment. Not only do you need to survive for three days, you also need to protect these devices. If we lose contact with your device for an hour, then we'll take it that you failed and you will be rescued. There is also a rescue button on the device. If you feel like you need to forfeit, then you can use it so that someone can fetch you. But if you use this function, then it means that you've forfeited. Are we clear?"

Seeing Zhao Hai and the others nod, the Mage added, "Then take these transmitters. Remember, you can't hide them inside your spatial equipment. If you place them inside, and we don't detect your signal for an hour, then you'll be eliminated." Then he proceeded to give everyone their own transmitters.

These transmitters looked like small badges. One couldn't even see any antenna on it. However, nobody dared to neglect this thing since it was related to their future.

Zhao Hai also received his own transmitter. Before long, the Mage said, "Start the signal." Then just as his voice fell, everyone's transmitter flashed for a moment before it returned to its original look.

The Mage looked at everyone and said, "There's no need to worry about your transmitters being faulty. If your transmitter is proven to be faulty with no external influences, then you will immediately pass the test. Alright, prepare yourself. We're opening the decompression chamber." Then after he said that, the Mage left the decompression chamber.

Zhao Hai looked at the others around him and smiled. Then he attached his transmitter on his robe and stood in place. He waited for the decompression chamber to open.

Before long, the decompression chamber was opened and Zhao Hai flew out of the ship. Not too far from where he appeared was Yellowsand Planet. This planet was much bigger than Machine Field Planet and Dark Demon Planet. Moreover, it wasn't in a scale of two. At the very least, it was bigger than Dark Demon planet by ten times. This caused Zhao Hai to be surprised.

But what surprised ZHao Hai even more was the yellow surface of the planet. There was no other color seen, only yellow. Zhao Hai knew that the color of the planet was caused by the huge sandstorm that buffeted the entire planet. And it happened to be the time where the sandstorm was at its peak.

At the same time, Zhao Hai noted a row of flashing red signals in a circle on the surface of the planet. Zhao Hai and the others were already informed that these signals showed the area where they should be in. If people died outside this area, then the committee wouldn't be responsible for them.

Zhao Hai also noticed that the other participants were heading out of their own ships. Moreover, everyone was staring at Yellowsand Planet. Zhao Hai didn't care about the others as he flew towards the planet. The Space had already mapped the planet, so there was no need for Zhao Hai to be cautious.

Seeing Zhao Hai flying towards the planet, those who were still observing couldn't help but stare. They didn't expect Zhao Hai to move forward this quickly. However, Zhao Hai's actions caused the others to move forward as well.

Before long, Zhao Hai entered the planet's atmosphere. As he plunged into the planet, Zhao Hai casted a 5-layer formation. The formation was a yellow shield that surrounded his body.

Upon entering the planet's atmosphere, Zhao Hai immediately felt the winds surround him. These winds were very strange. Even if the shield blocked the force of the wind, Zhao Hai could still feel a faint trace of coldness passing through his body.

Zhao Hai knew that this was the special effect of the hurricanes. But even if he doesn't care, this didn't mean that nobody else did. At this time, he heard a prompt, "Massive amounts of harmful energy detected entering the host's body. Extracting energy. Analyzing. Energy contains radioactive elements that are harmful to human blood. Making antidote to neutralize the energy."

Zhao Hai stared, he didn't expect the Space to take action against Yellowsand Planet's winds. Zhao Hai looked around him and saw that even if the others had followed him in, they were still far from reaching his position. It seems like they were afraid that he would attack them. Zhao Hai didn't care about it and just continued to descend down the planet.

It also needed to be said that as Zhao Hai was getting closer to the surface, the winds were also becoming stronger. By the time he reached the ground, the winds were big enough to pulverize stone into sand.

The moment Zhao Hai stepped into the surface, he immediately opened a rift. Just as the sandstorm entered the Space, a prompt was immediately heard, "Harmful energy storm with polluted yellow sand detected. Energy may be used to attack the enemy. The yellow sand can also be used for refining. Violent wind element detected, combining with the wind bead. Combination successful. Harmful energy storm is now ineffective against the host."

When he heard this prompt, Zhao Hai couldn't help but pause for a moment. Then he was reminded about the Wind Bead inside the Space. It seems like he was now immune to the storm because of it.

Sure enough, after the Space's prompt, Zhao Hai could no longer feel any wind around him. Even if it was windy, the least he could feel was a gentle breeze. Moreover, the cold he felt before had completely disappeared.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "That was great. It seems like we'll have to collect more of this sand into the Space."

After he said that, Zhao Hai opened a spatial rift, taking in more wind and sand into the Space. After some time, the Space issued another prompt, "Since the host has absorbed a large amount of negative energy and irradiated sand, the host can now designate an area inside the Space for a sandstorm. This sandstorm can generate negative energy storms and irradiated sand on its own. These generated resources will be immediately stored into the inventory."

When Zhao Hai heard this prompt, he smiled and closed the spatial rift. There was no need to absorb more.

Zhao Hai looked all around him, then he smiled and said, "I heard that the hurricane beasts here are very strong. I need to collect a few of them for the Space." Then his body moved as he flew away.

At Yellowsand Planet's ground level, eyesight could no longer be used as a means of perception. The dizzying hurricanes blowing in all directions made visibility less than 5 meters. In this case, it was impossible to use one's eyes in order to spot any enemies. One could only depend on their own spiritual force.

However, Zhao Hai discovered that the hurricanes had a property to suppress spiritual force. In the past, Zhao Hai could stretch his spiritual force to 10 thousand kilometers. But now, this range was reduced to 10.

Then all of a sudden, Zhao Hai stopped and then quickly moved upwards. And just as he moved, a huge figure emerged from the ground beneath him. If Zhao Hai didn't quickly move, then he might have already been swallowed by the thing that came out.

When Zhao Hai moved to the side, he managed to get a glimpse at the creature that attacked him. It was a giant worm looking thing. It was much much larger than any worm he saw before. The tip of its head spread out like a flower, making its mouth bigger than its body. Most importantly, its teeth were stacked into 18 layers. All of the teeth were creepily moving around like a meat grinder. Seeing the glint on their tips, one could see how sharp each tooth was.[1]

Zhao Hai was now 100 meters off the ground. However, the worm was still catching up to him as though it had endless length. Naturally, the worm was more than 100 meters, enough to call it a giant.

Zhao Hai wrinkled his brows. He discovered that this worm wasn't that simple. This was because his spiritual force failed to detect its approach. He only discovered it when it was drilling up from underground. It's ability to hide itself was too formidable!

  1. I reckon it's this = The Sandworm(https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmonsterlegacy.files.wordpress.com%2F2014%2F04%2Fsandwormcropped.jpg&f=1&nofb=1)

Chapter 1164 – Formidable Yellowsand Worm

While Zhao Hai was wrapped up in his thoughts, the worm spun and bit towards him. Zhao Hai immediately cast a 5-layer formation and shot a fireball towards the worm's mouth.

Zhao Hai looked at the worm but couldn't see its eyes, so he aimed for its mouth. When the fireball was sent out, the worm swallowed it in one bite and then closed its mouth.

When he saw the worm swallow the fireball, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sneer. His fireballs weren't something that could be swallowed.

After the worm swallowed the fireball, Zhao Hai found out that the worm had no bones and its skin was transparent. He could clearly see the fireball going down the worm's body and towards its stomach.

The worm looks like it had swallowed a chug of water and was satisfied. When it closed its mouth, it slowly sank back into the sand. At this moment, the fireball suddenly exploded.

Zhao Hai expected the worm to be instantly killed by the blast. However, the worm's stomach just bulged and then shrank back in. Then it opened its mouth and burped black smoke before going back down underground.

Zhao Hai just stared at the worm as it returned to the sand. This worm was too absurd, it could actually eat everything. His fireball should be able to roast the worm on the spot. Instead, it was eaten. Wasn't the worm a bit too strong?

At this time, Laura's voice was heard inside Zhao Hai's mind, "Brother Hai, that thing is called a yellowsand worm. They're very famous in Yellowsand Planet. The defensive ability of these beasts is formidable. However, their offensive method is simple. This thing wouldn't attack people under normal circumstances. They could eat anything. If they don't find anything else to eat, then they would consume sand. This thing is very difficult to kill. Even if they are bisected, they could still survive."

Zhao Hai responded,"There's such a thing? It seems like it would be good if we take this thing to the Space. Cai'er, take that thing to the Space."

Cai'er said, "Young Master, it's about 200 meters underground. However, this yellowsand worm is more than 1000 meters long. Do you really want to bring it into the Space?"

Upon hearing Cai'er, Zhao Hai immediately reacted, "It's more than 1000 meters long? Are you sure? My goodness. Interesting. It's about ten meters thick but it's actually more than 1000 meters long? I have to take it to the Space."

Then his figure moved and burrowed into the yellow sand. Then Zhao Hai discovered that although the sand looked like ordinary sand, it was actually very different. This yellow sand had faint traces of energy that wasn't good for humans.

Zhao Hai knew that this energy was the negative energy that was mentioned by the Space. It's a kind of radiation that would adversely affect anyone who came in contact with it for a long time.

It didn't take long before Zhao Hai penetrated 200 meters below ground. He saw the worm there, motionless. However, it completely blended into the surrounding sand. Not even Zhao Hai's spiritual force was able to feel it out.

Naturally, the worm was able to feel Zhao Hai's existence. It squirmed its body but it didn't attack Zhao Hai. After circling the worm, Zhao Hai knew how long this thing really was. It was actually 1500 meters long.

After taking a careful look at the worm, Zhao Hai opened a spatial rift. The rift went along the worm's body from the head to the tail. Before long, the entire worm was sent to the Space.

As soon as the yellowsand worm entered the Space, a prompt was heard, "Discovered a sandworm that has mutated because of radiation. Mutation allowed the creature to be extremely tenacious. At the same time, it is able to absorb anything in its body. Host may breed it inside the Space. Mutated sandworm has been placed inside the Space's shop. Host may purchase creature in the shop."

After thinking about this, Zhao Hai had Cai'er pick an area inside the Space for the sandstorm. Now he has a constant source for violent winds and yellow sand. He also placed the sandworm to live in that area.

After taking the yellowsand worm, Zhao Hai flew out and swept the surroundings with his spiritual force. Upon finding nothing else nearby, he immediately flew away.

When he had flown for about five kilometers, Zhao Hai suddenly stopped. This was because he could discover something in front of him, and it looked quite familiar. On the yellow sand was a branch-like thing, and on its top was a small flower.

Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he smiled as he asked Cai'er, "Cai'er, is that a sandworm?"

Cai'er looked at the monitor, then she nodded and said, "Young Master, it's a sandworm. That small flower on its head is used to attract prey. It's just that we haven't noticed it before. Do you want to take it to the Space as well?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "No, I want to see how other people would deal with it. Right, what level was that sandworm from earlier?" This time, Laura replied, "Brother Hai, there isn't much information about yellowsand worms in the internet. It was only rated as a grade 1 beast."

Zhao Hai asked, "Grade 1 beast? How is that possible?

Laura smiled and said, "It's possible. It's really a grade 1 beast. And it's because of its growth potential. As long as it gets left alone, it could reach 10 thousand meters long. When that time comes, nothing in Yellowsand Planet could threaten it. There's a record of one appearing in the past. In the end, the Cultivation Realm sent more than a hundred Nascent Soul Experts to kill it."

Zhao Hai stared, he didn't expect the yellowsand worm to be this formidable. More than a hundred Nascent Soul Experts, what kind of fighting power is that? Even the Ashley Family would be exterminated with that much fighting force. And it was used to eliminate one yellowsand worm? Isn't this worm too overpowered?

One must know that the stages in the Cultivation Realm were divided into Body Tempering, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Transcending Tribulation, Severed Spirit, Immortality, and much more. However, there were clear dividers between these stages. Not to mention Immortals, if a sect had a few Transcending Tribulation experts, it was already considered good. In the Cultivation Realm, Nascent Soul Experts were overlords of a region. They can open their own sects and establish their own school of thought.

Although Zhao Hai was already very strong, he estimates that his level could only contend against Core Formation experts. And most Core Formation experts would find it very hard to contend against Nascent Soul Experts.

So after hearing about the yellowsand worm's capabilities, Zhao Hai was truly startled. But in the end, he couldn't help but rejoice. If he grew a few sandworms, then he would have helpers in the future.

At this time, Laura's voice was heard once more, "It's also said that the yellowsand worm is only considered dangerous whenever it's hungry. Otherwise, it would stay docile and will not actively attack anyone."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "This yellowsand worm is interesting. Alright, let's wait here and watch the fun. In any case, we've already mapped the planet. Moreover, the beasts here aren't something we can just find at will. We'll stay in this worm's territory for now. And when we grasp the planet's strength, we'll go out and take some of the planet's beasts.

Laura nodded, "From what I can see, the reason the committee chose this area is because it is the territory of the sandworms. These worms don't attack people most of the time, therefore, there won't be too much casualties."

Zhao Hai agreed, "That might be it. I'll stay here for three days, but I cannot enter the Space during that time. It's a pity that you can't come out here and join me."

Laura and the others laughed, then Megan said, "Brother Hai, you came here for the competition, not for vacation. If we go out to join you, then you're just insulting the other participants."

Zhao Hai laughed, then he took some furniture from the Space and sat down. Then he pulled out a pot of tea and slowly drank it. His easy manner doesn't match with his surroundings.

If other participants saw Zhao Hai, then they would certainly feel irritated. However, Zhao Hai didn't care. Yellowsand Planet was filled with danger. Take the yellowsand worm for example, it would take him quite the effort to deal with it. And if he really met a very powerful beast that he couldn’t deal with, he would only hide inside the Space and be eliminated. Therefore, there was no need to run around the entire time.

While Zhao Hai was leisurely spending his time, the other participants were starting to feel the pressure. They didn't have the Wind Bead nor the Space to overcome any obstacles for them. Therefore, they met the full brunt of the planet's winds.

The hurricanes in yellowsand planet had sand mixed in with them, making it enough to be called a formidable weapon. Most Mages and Warriors wouldn't be able to survive inside it for a long time. Even if they were powerful experts, they would still need a shield to support them from time to time. After all, prolonged exposure to the sands would cause damage to one's body.

Although the Machine Field's cultivation method was different than the Cultivation Realm's, they still knew about the Cultivation Realm's methods. In the Cultivation Realm, the most powerful attacks weren't the ones with elemental attributes, instead, they were techniques infused with special qi.

These types of methods were the most effective when it came to attack. For example, there were techniques called yin attacks in the Cultivation Realm. There were a lot of sects who had these methods. There were also variation in naming this attack, some sects called it dark attacks. But no matter what they were called, these attacks merged qi into an ordinary attack. Because of this, the effects were formidable.

Something similar to evil qi was astral qi. Both of these things could enhance offensive power. If one merges evil qi into their attacks, then they would be yin attacks. If astral qi was merged in, then that would be astral attacks.[1]

However, merging evil qi or astral qi requires one to find a source for them. Then they would have to condense evil qi and astral qi into their bodies slowly.

Also, condensing these two energies into one's body was a very dangerous matter. If ten were to try this action, then four would succeed while the other six would die. One could see from this point the risks in using evil qi and astral qi.

As for the Machine Field, they didn't have a method to merge these energies into their bodies. Because of this, both Mages and Warriors could only rely on protective shields in order to survive. Even then, it wasn't an easy matter, astral qi attacks kill without shedding blood.

…………………..

Wan Xiang considers himself as an unlucky person. He ascended more than three years ago. Despite his short time of ascension, he was still able to reach level three and would reach level 4 soon. It can be said that he was a genius. However, he wasn't valued by his family. This was because his family was strong, there were already plenty of people like him. The strongest participant that their family sent for the competition was a level 4 expert.

Wan Xiang's attendance in this competition was supposed to be his lucky break. If he could obtain good results, then this status in the family would improve. This was a very good thing for Wan Xiang. He even believed that he was blessed by good luck. But upon arriving at Yellowsand Planet, he discovered that he was actually very unlucky.

Not long after he flew into Yellowsand Planet, he was met by an attack from a yellowsand worm. In the end, he was able to run away after spending a huge amount of his battle qi. Although he was drinking recovery potions all this time, supporting his protective shield reduced his strength to 70% of what was before.

Wan Xiang sighed as he carefully advanced. He needs to survive in this place for three days, otherwise he would be eliminated. If he was out of the competition by the first round, then he would certainly gain zero benefits from the family.

Wan Xiang released his spiritual force as he advanced, paying careful attention to his surroundings. Although the spiritual force of Warriors were inferior compared to Mages, for all Ascenders, their spiritual force was already enough to maneuver themselves on the planet.

As he carefully moved along, Wan Xiang suddenly encountered something. When he saw this, his expression couldn't help but change!

  1. "Astral" might be a temporary term, I couldn't find other meanings to the character Gāng(罡) other than being related to planets or constellations or internal gods.

Chapter 1165 – Formidable Supporting Magic Formation

There was a very small tree in front, it was yellow. In fact, most of the plants in Yellowsand Planet were almost this color. Therefore, there was nothing strange about it.

And in this small yellow tree was a little yellow flower. This flower shook amidst the wind, it might even look as if it would fall at any time.

However, Wan Xiang clearly knew that it was impossible for this flower to fall. This was because this flower was part of a yellowsand worm's body.

One shouldn't underestimate the yellowsand worm's bait. This little flower would exude a very unusual fragrance. As long as a beast smelt it, they will most likely run over. Naturally, those beasts who did became food for the worm.

In the beginning, people didn't know about this ability from the yellowsand worm. Back then, when people killed a yellowsand worm, they would use these little flowers as accessories. But they didn't know that it was actually attracting large numbers of beasts. It didn't take long before people became aware of the little flower's use.

Now, whenever people see these little flowers, they know that they should walk around it. The area around the flower would be the domain of a yellowsand worm. Yellowsand worms became beasts that nobody would provoke in Yellowsand Planet.

These worms generally won't attack people. And since they had no obvious weakness, they were very difficult to kill. Their tough skins also dissuade people from hunting them.

Moreover, it was very difficult for people to find yellowsand worms. Once they hide in the sand, they would immediately become one with their surroundings. It was common for people to lose sight of them, even if they were Mages with formidable spiritual force.

Additionally, the speed of the worms under the sand was quicker than human flight. They had a strange body structure that allowed them to swallow sand and eject it from their behind. The process of ejecting sand would propel the worm further, increasing its speed. They depended on this trait in order to traverse the sand underneath the surface.

Another reason why nobody provoked the yellowsand worms was because there were no indications whether a worm was only a few tens of meters long or 10 thousand meters. Most of its body was buried under the sand, and one couldn't use their spiritual force to find it.

Because of this, when Wan Xiang saw the little flower, he looked as though he saw a severe flood coming or a violent beast. He immediately turned and circled around the flower.

Just as Wan Xiang stepped forward, he stopped and couldn't help but shake his head. It was as if he found something unreasonable. He couldn't believe what he just saw.

However, he immediately found out that he wasn't seeing things wrong. There was actually a person in front of him, sitting on a chair and sipping tea!

A man just drank tea as though nothing strange was going on around him. He seems to be unaware that he was at Yellowsand Planet and was surrounded by violent winds. If someone did it at this environment, then they would have been eating sand!

However, the person was really drinking tea. Moreover, he had a chair to sit on. This caused Wan Xiang to stare, he didn't know how to react.

Wan Xiang already knew that this Mage wasn't someone ordinary. And if this was the case, then he might have already been discovered. So now, Wan Xiang was stuck on how to face this person.

He was currently in Yellowsand Planet, and each person here was a competitor. With this in mind, he was left with two choices, either to run or to fight.

But while Wan Xiang was having doubts on what to do, the Mage kept leisurely sitting there. It was as though he had nothing to be afraid of. Wan Xiang wasn't sure if he can win if he rushed towards the Mage.

Before Wan Xiang arrived at the planet, he already had an understanding of the powerful contestants. And since he knew about the ten geniuses, then he was naturally aware of the Ashley Family's Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai's name had already spread in the Machine Field. A level 4 Mage that had ascended just a few months ago, this was an unprecedented event. Therefore, Zhao Hai can be said to be the most talented contestant in this competition.

A genius character such as Zhao Hai wasn't someone that Wan Xiang could contend against. However, Zhao Hai's quick rise was precisely the reason why some people doubted his strength. How strong would a person be just a few months after ascending? How far could he have progressed in Magic Theory?

Wan Xiang was one of those who didn't believe that Zhao Hai was strong. In his mind, Zhao Hai might just have a rare treasure on his body.

Seeing Zhao Hai now, Wan Xiang's ideas were solidified. Yellowsand Planet was covered with violent winds, yet Zhao Hai was leisurely sipping tea as though no wind came to touch him. Wasn't this very strange?

"He really does have a rare treasure!" Wan Xiang was even more assured of this idea.

With this thought in mind, Wan Xiang's greed couldn't help but emerge. He immediately kicked off and flew towards Zhao Hai, his sword already drawn.

Naturally, Zhao Hai had already discovered Wan Xiang. Moreover, upon seeing him, Laura immediately gave him his detailed information. One could say that Wan Xiang wasn't simple. He was from the Shui Family, the most powerful family in the Water Temple. Even the Ashley Family wasn't at its level. The Shui Family was able to send 15 people to attend the realm qualifiers. Of the 15, 14 were level 3 while the remaining one was level 4. Although this person wasn't among the ten great experts, this person's strength was still very high.

However, Zhao Hai didn't really care. He didn't mind attacking the Shui Family. In this elimination round, him not provoking others was already their fortune. If he did go out of his way to attack people, then the participants would suffer extreme bad luck.

Zhao Hai wasn't initially planning to kill Wan Xiang. In his opinion, this elimination round was very unfair. Even if they had some skills, resisting the winds and the sandstorm wasn't easy. And with beasts scattered around the land, surviving was already hard. And there was still the last element which was the other participants.

But even if one doesn't want to hurt the tiger, the tiger would still harm humans. Zhao Hai didn't want to deal with Wan Xiang, but Wan Xiang wanted to deal with him. When Zhao Hai saw Wan Xiang pulling his sword out, he couldn't help but sigh deeply inside.

However, Zhao Hai didn't make a move. He still sat there, with his teacup in hand. The yellow sand mixed with the wind made a very magnificent view of the surroundings.

Wan Xiang waved his sword and sent a sword qi towards Zhao Hai. Seeing the attack, Zhao Hai sighed and waved his hand, releasing a 5-layer formation. The formation immediately became a huge shield, blocking the sword qi in front of him. Only a few sparks appeared on the shield before peace returned. There wasn't even a scratch on the shield.

Upon seeing this situation, Wan Xiang's complexion changed. Although he just attacked, he was able to see Zhao Hai's strength. Zhao Hai wasn't someone that can be easily dealt with.

Wan Xiang and Li Kui, the most powerful beginner in the Shui Family, had compared notes before. Li Kun was also a Mage. Although he specialized in the water element, his ice shield was something that could compare to metal element shields. During their spar, Wan Xiang was able to shatter Li Kui's shield. Li Kui even said that Wan Xiang's offensive strength was very formidable, and that he had a rare talent for offensive attacks.

But now that he was faced against Zhao Hai, the offensive strength that he was so proud of was actually rendered useless. He wasn't even able to leave a trace on Zhao Hai's shield.

But what Wan Xiang didn't know was that Zhao Hai was also very surprised. This was because the shield that he sent out wasn't an ordinary 5-layer shield. This one was a revised version that included a supporting magic formation. According to Zhao Hai's estimates, 5-layer formations should be able to contend against level 3 Warriors. However, it was impossible for it to be unscathed, it should have shattered alongside the sword qi.

And now that supporting formations were added, the shield actually blocked Wan Xiang's sword easily. There wasn't even a scratch on the shield. Moreover, the amount Zhao Hai used to release the formation was a third of what 5-layer formations usually required. This result was too astonishing!

Arranging formation sets was a great subject of study. Choosing five formations from thousands of formations, putting them together, have them display the most amount of power while also maintaining the proper balance was something that was easier said than done.

The five formations that Zhao used were a metal-element supplying formation, metal-element solidifying formation, a reinforcing supporting formation, a strengthening supporting formation, and a metal-element shield formation.

This wasn't the case before, instead of two supporting formations, the other two formations used were metal-element strengthening formations. Their effect wasn't as good and they used up more spiritual force.

It was through this revised formation that Zhao Hai understood how formidable supporting formations were. At the same time, it made Zhao Hai happy. These supporting formations would increase his strength by two-folds. He was now more confident in dealing with his enemies.

Seeing his attack having no effect, Wan Xiang didn't stay and instead turned around and left. Looking at Wan Xiang escape, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. Then he coldly snorted as he sent a sword qi towards Wan Xiang.

This was Zhao Hai's first time using sword qi in the outside world. This sword was also sent through a formation set. However, the formation used to strengthen his sword qi was different from the conventional formations. He also included supporting formations in his sword, causing its effects to be elevated.

Chapter 1166 – Testing the Body Tempering Technique

Wan Xiang knew that it was impossible for him to match Zhao Hai. He was someone who was tactful of his actions. He would do his best to avoid extreme danger. This was the reason why he immediately ran away when his attack was effortlessly blocked.

However, just as he turned around, he suddenly felt the hair on his back go up. Wan Xiang was an experienced Warrior who had developed his own instincts. He knew that an attack was coming for him.

Wan Xiang didn't immediately turn around but he continually waved his sword and sent sword qi flying behind him. Then he took a quick glance back and saw something he didn't expect.

This time, Wan Xiang couldn't help but pause. He was almost certain that a magic spell was coming for him. However, what he saw wasn't a spell, instead it was sword qi. A completely solid sword qi.

Wan Xiang already noticed that the three sword qi that he sent was already destroyed. Despite his surprise, Wan Xiang was still able to use his sword to block the incoming sword qi.

Clang! A sound of clashing swords rang out. And at the same time, Wan Xiang's figure accelerated forward. This wasn't due to Wan Xiang increasing his speed, but instead it was because of the collision that just happened.

Wan Xiang felt his vitality take a huge dive. Even if he felt worse, he still used his own blood essence to propel himself further on.

The only thing inside Wan Xiang's mind was to escape as soon as possible and as far as possible from Zhao Hai. Then he would find a place to hide and survive for three days. He needs to tell the family that Zhao Hai was both a Mage and a Warrior. Perhaps he might receive a reward for this information.

Any influence attached great importance to information, especially those that involved talented characters. If one can uncover a previously unknown aspect of a great talent, then the family would most likely give a reward.

Zhao Hai was considered to be a highly valued talent. He was a level 4 Mage just after a few months of ascending. It was a talent that nobody would believe the first time they heard about it.

And now, Wan Xiang was actually able to discover that Zhao Hai was not only a Mage, but his skill as a Warrior wasn't any worse than his skills as a Mage. This information was too important for the Shui family.

It's just a pity that Zhao Hai would never let him go. Zhao Hai tried to attack Wan Xiang using his sword qi to see how strong it was. And it seems like it was very good.

Zhao Hai had the same thought as Wan Xiang. If he let Wan Xiang escape, then the whole Machine Field would know that he was a Warrior as well. This wasn't good, as far as he knew, there were only very few people who were both a Mage and a Warrior.

Zhao Hai moved and appeared in front of Wan Xiang, then he attacked. He didn't use Liquid Silver this time, instead he tried his new fist technique.

The fist technique was a separate aspect of the tempering method. And only when the Stellar Transformation Body Tempering Technique was used that the fist technique would show results. Otherwise, it would just be a common fist technique.

The attacks of the fist technique weren't the same as battle qi. When the fist techniques were carried out, they follow through the system widely used in the cultivation realm. This method was much more complicated than the ones Warriors used.

The cultivation realm uses the meridians of one's body to transfer energy from acupoint to acupoint. These acupoints were directly connected to one another but they formed a small cycle. After each cycle of energy, a person's body would be geared to do their attack.

In the Machine Field, this action was done with the support of weapons, which was an external influence. As for the Stellar Body Tempering Fist, it uses one's meridians to circulate qi and then send the energy in one go. This belonged to internal strength, which was different.

When Wan Xiang saw Zhao Hai appear in front of him, his eyes shrank. He was a level 3 Warrior, but he wasn't able to see Zhao Hai move.

At this moment, Wan Xiang saw Zhao Hai wave his fist. He couldn't help but stare. There were very few Warriors in the Machine Field that attacked using their fists. Even if they did, they would have a gauntlet or something to aid their attack. However, Zhao Hai was actually barehanded. This caused Wan Xiang to be surprised.

Wan Xiang looked at Zhao Hai's fist as though it was a joke. This was because he couldn't feel any energy coming from Zhao Hai's fist.

But just as he was about to open his mouth, Wan Xiang suddenly felt an extremely powerful qi coming towards him. This strength wasn't sharp like a sword, but it was imposing like a mountain. With such a colossal energy coming towards him, Wan Xiang found himself having trouble breathing.

Wan Xiang didn't have any time to be surprised, he immediately used his last remaining energy to wave his sword. Then he released a huge amount of qi towards Zhao Hai.

However, the sword qi became like a bubble when it met Zhao Hai's fist. When the sword qi was destroyed, Zhao Hai didn't give Wan Xiang any time to make another move as he immediately condensed his energy and charged towards Wan Xiang's direction.

Wan Xiang discovered that he had made a huge mistake. He shouldn't have sent an attack. Now, he didn't have any energy left to defend against Zhao Hai.

Wan Xiang suddenly felt his qi resisting the attack. But just like a fly caught in a spider web, he wasn't able to struggle away from Zhao Hai's attack.

A large amount of energy kept pouring inside Wan Xiang's body. When he wasn't able to resist anymore, a bang was heard. As Zhao Hai's qi flooded Wan Xiang's body, all of Wan Xiang's bones and blood were shattered. His skeletons and meridians were torn into shreds. After experiencing a spike of intense pain, Wan Xiang's vision turned black.

Zhao Hai looked at the mess on the ground. Wan Xiang became a huge splat on the sandy soil. This was the first time that he used the body tempering fist against an enemy. He didn't expect the amount of qi to be this overbearing. It completely destroyed Wan Xiang's body. It can be said that only Wan Xiang's skin could be seen, everything else has been turned into a bloody mush.

Zhao Hai sighed and waved his hand, receiving Wan Xiang's sword and storage ring. Although Wan Xiang was wearing chain armor, that armor has also been destroyed by Zhao Hai's fist, it was rendered completely useless. As he was burying Wan Xiang using earth element magic, Zhao Hai thought that he needed to tone down the amount of energy used whenever he attacked using his fists. It would be a complete waste if he wasn't able to turn his enemies into Undead!

After processing Wan Xiang's corpse, Zhao Hai shifted his attention to the storage ring. Upon careful inspection, the ring caught Zhao Hai's interest. This was because Wan Xiang's ring had something that cultivators normally had, a spiritual seal!

Spatial items with spiritual seals were quite rare in the Machine Field, how was Wan Xiang able to get his hands on it? While he was thinking about this, Zhao Hai took out some Everpresent Ancient Sand and then wiped it on the ring. The ring emitted black smoke as the spiritual imprint was removed.

Then Zhao Hai used his spiritual force to scan the contents of the ring. Wan Xiang's ring was full of potions. Some of these potions restored energy, some were antidotes, and some healed wounds. They were basically things that people would take with them on a journey. Besides the potions, there were also some equipment inside like weapons and armor.

However, what took Zhao Hai's interest was a jade slip. This jade slip looked ancient and didn't emit any energy. Nevertheless, it still managed to attract Zhao Hai. This was because Wan Xiang wouldn't just bring a random jade slip with him. Moreover, jade slips were very rare in the Machine Field.

In the Cultivation Realm, jade slips were generally used to record things. On the other hand, there was little use for these slips in the Machine Field, and there wasn't a huge market for it. But one couldn't deny that jade slips were very convenient. One would only need to use their spiritual force to read everything that was recorded inside these jade slips. And this method was much more effective that reading through text.

Zhao Hai took the jade slip out before tossing the spatial ring to the Space. Then he used his spiritual force to scan it.

But not long after he began, Zhao Hai paused. This was because the jade slip was also protected by a spiritual seal. But this time, Zhao Hai wasn't surprised. Almost all things connected to the Cultivation Realm had these seals. This was especially true for important items. If one decided to forcefully break through these seals, then they would risk destroying that item.

So when Zhao Hai discovered the seal, his interest was piqued. He immediately took out some everpresent ancient sand in order to remove the spiritual imprint.

Black smoke kept coming out of the jade slip, but the imprint had yet to be removed. This caused Zhao Hai to be more interested. If the jade slip's seal was this strong, then the thing recorded inside should be valuable. Zhao Hai was getting somewhat impatient as he looked at the imprint being erased.

As the process went on, Zhao Hai also began to discover that the ancient sand was being consumed when it removed the imprint. Each puff of black smoke took some ancient sand along with it. Before long, the amount of sand in Zhao Hai's hand has vanished. But at the same time, the jade slip's appearance changed. It now looked more attractive than before.
