— Chapter 62 —
Yunlong calmly raised his katana to the incoming spirit beast, which is a bunch of yellow-feathered crows with a pair of keen red eyes.
“I will take care of the thousand years old spirit beasts. You three will handle the rest.” Yunlong calmly instructed while smiling at them, making Bai Xue nervous since she never fought a spirit beast in her life.
Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head, and she’s without further ado running forward with an incredible speed.
“She grew a lot in these two years.” Yu Ning’er quietly commented with widened eyes.
“But if it’s only speed, I won’t lose to her.” She confidently added while releasing yellow lightning from her body.
The yellow lightning flickered for a few seconds, which faded as she suddenly appeared beside Xiaoyu.
Chu Xiaoyu glanced at her and then increased her speed while looking at the yellow-feathered crow in front of them.
“Divine Slash.” Chu Xiaoyu’s cold voice echoed as she slashed her sword to the crow, which dodged her attack, but to their surprise, the crow suddenly slumped to the ground with a frozen body.
“I underestimated your growth.” Yu Ning’er calmly stated while thrusting her spear onto the other crow’s head, which exploded because a tiny bolt of yellow lightning was bursting on her spear tip.
“Is that so?” Chu Xiaoyu calmly responded while stabbing the frozen crow’s head.
“T-They are amazing.” Bai Xue whispered in admiration while looking at the two girls, who took down a dangerous spirit beast with such ease.
“You can be like them too,” Yunlong responded while looking at his maids, who are staring at each other as they’re arguing with their eyes.
“You need extra training, though.” He honestly added while shifting his gaze at her, who awkwardly gripped the dagger.
Bai Xue noticed Yunlong’s gaze and realized that she’s holding the dagger with shaky hands.
“Well, I’ll take my share,” Yunlong said while using his shadow flash steps to appear in front of the other fire crows, which are more powerful than what his maids just fought.
Yunlong slightly hardened his katana while slashing horizontally to the crow’s body, which cleanly passed through it.
[You have killed a fire crow]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]
[You have devoured a piece of fire crow’s soul, energy, spirituality]
[You have obtained [Burning Heart] and [Crow Flame] skills]
Yunlong ignored his system while nimbly dodging a burning flamed crow, which is the other one thousand years old fire crow.
“I see… The burning heart doubled up the user strength, but using their life force as a fuel.” Yunlong naturally observed, which seems to irk the crow because he mocked their linage ability after killed one of their kinds.
“Hmm? You’re angry?” He said to the crow, who already rushed toward him. He simply looked at the burning crow and avoided it by only stepping to the side.
‘Thanks for the food.’ Yunlong thought while slashed his katana downward, which directly reached the crow’s body and separated it in half.
[You have killed a fire crow]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]
[You have devoured a piece of fire crow’s soul, energy, spirituality]
[You have obtained [Burning Heart] and [Crow Flame] skills]
[Similiar skills have been detected]
[Do you want to use auto fusion to combine the skills?]
[You don’t have to use system points. Auto-Fusion is free, host]
‘Oh, free? Sure, fuse the skills.’ Yunlong thought with a smile on his face because something like this never happened before.
[Fusion…]
[2x Burning Heart Fusion]
[2x Crow Flame Fusion]
[You have gained [Burning Soul] and [Yellow Crow Flame] Skills]
‘Nice, to think that I can fuse two similar skills without paying a single system points.’ Yunlong thought while nodding his head with satisfaction.
[This only happened because you got the same skills from Mortal Sin: Gluttony, host]
[The probability of this happened again is small]
‘Is that so?’ Yunlong responded with a shrug of his shoulder because even if the chance is insignificant, it’s can still happen to him, right.
“Xiaoyu, Yu Ning’er, let’s Bai Xue take one of the crows,” Yunlong instructed his maids while shifting his gaze at the red-haired girl.
Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning’er nodded their heads and shifted their gaze at the one crow, which is not far away from them.
Since they can only have one crow, they would compete for it, which is happened in a split second because Xiaoyu’s figure already ran away toward the crow.
“Tch, she’s holding back.” Yu Ning’er noticed while looking at Xiaoyu’s figure, who already arrived in front of the crow.
“I have to serious, huh.” She added while activating the surge of yellow electricity and spirit energy in her body.
Yunlong smiled when he sensed their heated competition, and it’s good for them since they can develop even further and learn from each other.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Xue is frozen stiff while looking at the incoming crow spirit beast, which is flying at a fast momentum toward her.
“Hey, don’t daze.” Yunlong’s voice entered Bai Xue’s ears.
Bai Xue is back to reality and noticed that a fireball is flying toward her. She immediately dodged it by jumping into a bush and slickly moved to the behind of a tree.
“Bai Xue, what is your specialty.” Yunlong’s voice once again entered Bai Xue’s ears.
“Medicinal herbs.” Bai Xue answered in panic while hiding behind a tree.
“Yeah, you good in herbs, then use it to your advantage. I believe in you.” Yunlong stated while smiling, which makes Bai Xue calm down for some reason.
“I believe in you…” Bai Xue whispered Yunlong’s words in her heart while tightly gripping the dagger.
Bai Xue took a deep breath and looking around to found something that might help her, she identifies some herbs, but most of them were useless for her situation.
Yunlong calmly observed the red-haired girl and noticed that she already found a way to fight back.
Bai Xue took a few things from her clothes, which are necessary items for her, and then run around the bushes while dodging the crow’s fireballs.
“Fast, move fast.” Bai Xue whispered while gathering a few herbs.
‘I only need to crush them together and accumulate the liquid to make the paralytic toxin.’ Bai Xue thought while looking at the herbs in her hands.
“I need time.” She took a peek at the crow and found that it already launched a bunch of tiny fireballs at her.
“You don’t help her?” Yu Ning’er asked when she arrived beside him.
“Well, I want to, but she already found the way by herself,” Yunlong answered with a chuckle.
“She’s not bad, and if only she was trained when she’s young, she would be the same as me.” Chu Xiaoyu suddenly stated with a calm expression, which caught Yu Ning’er off guard because this girl is usually quiet.
“As Xiaoyu said, Bai Xue isn’t bad, but she’s not like us who have been trained at early years,” Yunlong said while looking at the red-haired girl, who is using a cloth to crush herbs and obtain its extracts.
“This should be enough…” Bai Xue whispered while coating the dagger with a green liquid, which is a poison.
Bai Xue walked out of her cover and ran toward the crow, who has launched itself at her, but she isn’t afraid like before this time.
She bravely moved forward with a dagger in her right hand and looked at the crow’s eyes, which is the area she wants to stab.
The crow launched a fireball toward her, but she didn’t care because she only wants to stab the crow’s eyes with the dagger in her hand.
“AAAH!” Bai Xue screamed when the fireball hit her left shoulder, but at the same time, she also stabbed the crow’s eyes.
Puchi!
“Die!” She lastly shouted before fell to the ground with burn injuries on her right shoulder.
“She won…” Yu Ning’er said in shock while looking at the crow, who fell to the ground and struggled to move its body because of the paralytic poison.
“Good job,” Yunlong said with a smile on his face as he arrived on Bai Xue’s side.
Yunlong shook his head and treated Bai Xue using his white light grace, which covered her body for a moment and recovered all her wounds.
“Well, you can absorb this crow spirit ring. It would grant you crow flame skill, which is very useful, and you can learn alchemy with it,” Yunlong instructed Bai Xue.
“Alchemy…” Bai Xue’s green eyes widened while looking at Yunlong’s eyes.
“Yeah, alchemy.” Yunlong nodded, which makes her excited, and hurriedly lifted her body from the ground.
— One Hour Later —
“How was it?” Yunlong asked while looking at Bai Xue, who sat cross-legged on the ground with a yellow spirit ring dancing around her body.
“It feels good and refreshing…” Bai Xue quietly replied while looking at the broom martial soul, which floated in front of her chest.
She raised her right palm, and a burning flame appeared, which is her first spirit skill, crow flame.
“Try to use the flame with your broom,” Yunlong instructed, which Bai Xue responded as she pushed the flame into her broom, making the entire broom coated with a burning red flame.
Yunlong smiled at her and said, “Well, you passed the test.”
“Eh, really?” Bai Xue responded with a shocked expression.
“Yeah.” Yunlong answered with a nod, “Prepare yourself because we are going to enter the core area.”
Yunlong walked away from her as Xiaoyu and Yu Ning’er naturally followed him.
“W-Wait for me!” Bai Xue said while running toward him.
— In the boundary of the core area —
Yunlong suddenly stopped and raised his head, “Hey, I need your help.”
Jin Eyu landed on the ground and stared at him, “What do you want?”
“Nothing special, I just want you to release your title douluo pressure on this core area,” Yunlong instructed with a smile on his face.
“Only that?” Jin Eyu frowned because Yunlong’s request is always weird for him.
“Yep, only that.” Yunlong nodded his head.
BOOM!
Jin Eyu instantly released a massive pressure from his body, which makes them feel heavy. Chu Xiaoyu, Yu Ning’er, and Bai Xue immediately fainted because of the sheer difference in their strength.
Yunlong grinned when he feels this pressure because he never feels anything like this before since Bibi Dong is never serious when fighting him.
“Your strength is admirable.” Jin Eyu commented while looking at Yunlong, who is struggling to firmly stand on the ground.
“Thanks, but he should be here now,” Yunlong answered while shifting his gaze at the volcano, where he can see a green-haired man flying towards them.
“A titled douluo?” Jin Eyu said while looking at the newcomer, who awkwardly landed a few meters away from them.
‘Dugu Bo.’ Yunlong thought while looking at the green-haired man.
“Elder, may I know your problem.” Dugu Bo politely asked while bowing his body at Jin Eyu because he knows that he can’t win against him.
“I can save your family from poison.” Yunlong suddenly stated while smiling at him.
“Eh, Pardon?” Dugu Bo responded with a confused expression.
“Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. I can save your family from poison.”
