Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1383: Fight for Free!

Jiang Yi studied it closely a few more times and realized that something was amiss. If this really was a rubbish treasure, why was its aura so frightening when it appeared?

What’s more, this little beast was in his Fire Spirit Pearl. It could fall asleep under such extremely cold conditions. It was even slowly absorbing the flames at the same time. How could ordinary spirit beasts tolerate such terrifying flames?

Jiang Yi pondered for a while, but he still could not figure it out; neither did he dare to go to the Demon-Killing Pavilion to look for more information. He was afraid that he would catch the attention of Xuanyuan Lingyan. Thus, he decided to cast these worries aside for a while until the little beast awoke from its slumber.

Jiang Yi went to the Technique Practicing Room to stir the Power of Heaven and Earth in his body. On testing his powers, he discovered that he was at least sixty to seventy times stronger than he was before. Now, his body was akin to an ordinary God King. Once he completed the first level and achieved the one-hundred-fold amplification, his body alone would be able to take on upper-tier God Kings or even peak-stage God Kings!

Of course, this was only theoretical. In actual fact, Jiang Yi was sure that he would be a little worse than that. After all, peak-stage God Kings were all donned in superior-grade divine artifacts. They also probably knew special nomological mystical abilities or secret arts. They would very unlikely stand there and act as a fixed target for Jiang Yi.

“If I want to improve my attack, I need stronger flames! I need to think of a way to look for stronger flames, and I need a lot of it as well. If I match that with the Mighty God Technique’s defensive powers and speed, I probably would be able to fight peak-stage God Kings head on!”

It was not useful for any martial artist to excel only in one specific area.

That was so—unless they were so strong in that one area until they were able to defy heaven. Take the Ink Feather Race for example. They could depend on their pervertic speeds and sharp claws alone to dominate the rest of the word. The Mighty God Technique could only improve his physical body strength. In other words, it would only be able to improve his defense and speed, as well as strength.

However, the Mighty God Technique was most beneficial for one’s defense. Jiang Yi guessed that his strength and speed would not improve that much. His attack would probably not improve by much as well. Without some more aggressive techniques, Jiang Yi’s Mighty God Technique would just act as a meat shield.

Now, he was only activating a wisp of his Power of Heaven and Earth. That was why he did not feel too weak. If he was in a battle and using huge amounts of Power of Heaven and Earth—by the time he ran out, his entire body would become extremely weak. If he did not have a strong attack to match his defensive powers, he would not be able to end the battle in a short time. Then, once his body became weak, he would be a dead duck.

His ninth star sphere was extremely extraordinary. It could merge strong flames together. With the Fire Spirit Pearl, Jiang Yi was not afraid of fire at all. This was one form of strong attack that he possessed. If he could find even stronger flames and keep merging these flames in his body, he would be able to come up with terrifying powers. Paired with the Mighty God Technique, he would be invincible.

“I have to realize the Mighty God Technique first. Once I have perfected my training in the first stage, I will go out and search for even stronger flames!”

Once Jiang Yi was more or less decided, he asked Gu Mu several questions to make sure that the city was calm. Then, he did not bother to ask again. Instead, he locked himself in the Technique Practicing Room. He was already halfway through realizing the Mighty God Technique; he was almost there. If he could amplify his body strength by a hundred times, he would be a perverted existence for sure.

However!

After trying to realize the technique for an entire month, Jiang Yi finally stopped training frustratedly. The Mighty God Technique was way too mysterious and deep. It would take far too long for him to deduce it on his own outside. A month there did not even amount to five minutes inside the Primitive Mystic Realm.

Anyone tasting plain food after having delicacies would feel uncomfortable.

Once this thought sprang up in his mind, he became more frustrated; and it took him longer to cultivate. It was a vicious cycle.

“It looks like I have no other choice but to go into the Primitive Mystic Realm.”

Jiang Yi rubbed his nose. He really missed the smell of the Primitive Mystic Realm. Cultivating aside, the aura there was soothing, even for people who had only been in there for a while. He could even feel his body becoming stronger while he stood inside. He wondered how amazing the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm and the Primordial Mystic Realm would be.

He sat down for a while and opened the restrictions, determined. In a cool voice, he shouted, “Xiao Leng!”

Swish!

A black figure floated in front of him. Xiao Leng was always nearby, protecting him. He was taking his duties very seriously. On seeing Xiao Leng’s uniquely ugly face, gratefulness filled Jiang Yi’s heart. He stood up and said, “Lord Xiao Leng has been working hard recently.”

“I am just doing my job!” Xiao Leng answered in a cool manner.

Jiang Yi went back to talking about serious matters. He asked, “Xiao Leng, apart from entering the Primitive Mystic Realm for free two times a year, are there any other methods I can enter the mystic realm?”

Xiao Leng’s ugly face twitched, making him look that much uglier. He was cursing in his heart as he said frustratedly, “Earth Emanations Pavilion, Demon-Killing Pavilion, and Battle God Pavilion all have about the same conditions for entering the three greatest mystic realms. It would be incredibly difficult. I think for the Demon-Killing Pavilion, Demon-Killing Battle Kings are allowed to go into the mystic realm once a year. As a Hunting Envoy, you can go in one additional time a year. Apart from that, you have no special privileges. You can only depend on your battle merits! Otherwise… you have to become a Demon-Killing Battle God, a Pavilion Branch Lord, or something. Then, you will get more privileges.”

“…”

Didn’t he also need more battle merits to become a Demon-Killing Battle God? He could dream on about becoming a Pavilion Lord. He would need to at least have the skills of a Demon-Killing Battle King for that. What’s more, he probably would need the right connections as well. Even if he could really become a Pavilion Lord, would the people under him submit to him? He had no other way now but to accumulate battle merits. Jiang Yi asked, “I need five hundred thousand battle merits to enter just once, right?”

Xiao Leng answered, “For the first time, yes. If you’re entering for the second time in the year, you would need a million battle merits. If you’re going in for the third time, you will need two million battle merits. The price keeps doubling.”

“They might as well rob people!”

Cold perspiration dripped from Jiang Yi’s forehead. If he had a million battle merits, he would become a Demon-Killing Battle God immediately. That would give him a free chance to go in and more special privileges as well.

“Go and do missions? Yet, given my skills, I probably won’t be able to accept any high-level tasks. Low-level missions would probably only award me a few hundred battle merits each. How long must I keep working then?”

Jiang Yi scratched his head and mumbled to himself. Swapping divine roots for battle merits would be stupid. It was expensive and not worth the money. Yet, if he did not go and accept missions and relied on cultivating alone, he probably would take eight to ten Lower-Domain years to perfect the first stage of the Mighty God Technique.

“Oh, right!”

Jiang Yi slapped his thigh and turned to Xiao Leng hopefully. The latter stiffened. He had a bad feeling about this. Very quickly, Xiao Leng knew what Jiang Yi was thinking.

It was obvious…

Jiang Yi wanted to accept missions that would reap him many battle merits. He wanted Xiao Leng to fight for him for free!

Xiao Leng’s responsibility was to protect Jiang Yi. Thus, if Jiang Yi closed his eyes and ran towards danger, Xiao Leng would have to clear all danger for him. Thus, Jiang Yi would be able to complete the missions easily.

“Old Xiao, ah!”

Seeing the muscles on Xiao Leng’s face tremble, Jiang Yi grinned, satisfied with himself. He slapped Xiao Leng on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be so nervous. Who follows who among the two of us? Don’t worry. With me around, you will never go hungry. I won’t treat you badly. From now until forever, I will split all the divine roots that Divine Eagle City earns with you 50-50. You’d better not object, or I will turn nasty…”

“Split the earnings 50-50?”

Xiao Leng relaxed slightly. Although a little city like that would not earn much, he might as well take what he can. He could not run away from this either way; he had to follow Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was treating him fairly at least.

He pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth. “City Lord Jiang, don’t go overboard. I can only help you earn five hundred thousand battle merits. If you want more… I’m going to ask the Prefecture Lord to be transferred!”

“Naturally!”

Jiang Yi smiled, satisfied. Five hundred thousand battle merits would allow him to enter once. That would be enough for him to complete the Mighty God Technique. His smile deepened as he said warmly, “Old Xiao, do you like girls? There is a pretty good brothel in the south city. I’ll get you three girls when we have time to go there…”

“Do I seem like that sort of person?”

Xiao Leng’s ugly face twisted as he spat, “I want ten!”
