It has been a week since Dana fought the Fire Fox and now she is already at Ranm Four Body Refining Realm. After, the fight with the Fire Fox she knew that her battle experience simple couldn"t be compared towards any other spirit beast. So therefore, she worked on developing her own fighting style and hunted many spirit beasts of similar rank towards her or one rank higher to refine her own style. After fighting a spirit beast she will cultivate at night, continuously improving her cultivation.With this type of practice, Dana continuously improved until unlike the struggle she had when facing a beast one rank higher than her with the need to have a complete reliance on her natural abilities being higher, now she dealt with beasts one rank higher with ease. Although, she still couldn"t be compared to the average spirit beast in terms of battle experience and having to struggle to survive in this environment, she improved greatly from previously. Dana also used more of the Frost Wyvern"s natural abilities in poison, at is one of the main reasons of a Frost Wyvern"s having such a deadly reputation as they contain one of the strongest poisons among Rare Bloodline ranked spirit beasts. Whilst training her bloodline abilities alongside her battle style, it increased her comp ability of using both together in order to defeat her opponents.
As her cultivation improved and having a daily meal of spirit beasts her size greatly increased until she was the size of a large horse. After killing many spirit beasts this week of similar level and a few one rank higher, she has gathered 100 soul points from the system. She currently does not want to spend any soul points as the only options available for her are cheap medical pills and even some weapons for the use of humans, which made her excited of having the hope of becoming human again. Although she enjoyed being a spirit beast, it has become lonely for her. As human are social creatures, even though she wasn"t the sociable type in her previous life, she still misses individuals to talk to. When she asked the system this possibility it replied that she can unlock a human form eventually, which made her very excited at the thought of joining civilization again.
With this new found confidence of the increase of cultivation level and battle ability she decided that she will now leave this area and attempt to fight spirit beasts which are Rank 6 Body Refining realm.
Whilst grinning at the thought of fierce battle, she came to the realization that she is a becoming a battle maniac. After the first few battles of struggling at killing and fighting spirit beasts, she began to realize she improved at a rapid pace showing that she has great talent for it. In her previous life she had done many extreme sports for the thrill, and found that similarly compared on having battles with spirit beasts as it gives her the same feeling as sky diving from 18,000 ft.
With her new found confidence in her strength, she decided to look for a Rank Six spirit beast. Impatiently she sprinted towards further into the depth of the forest, after a few skirmishes with some Rank Four Body Refining beasts which was easily dealt with. She came across a large bear, which was twice the size of the largest bear on Earth in her previous life.
"System, what is that?"
[Host, that is a Iron Bear. A strong spirit beast with earth and metal Qi, this one looks like a variant as it has grey tattoos in it"s fur. This shows that it has inherited dual attributes of both Earth and Metal Qi, this will give it an even more horrifying defense and strength compared to an Earth Bear]
"What a variant, are they worth more than a usual common bloodline?]
[Yes, as it is naturally stronger than usual. This creature is worth 35 soul points from the system, as it has a Common Variant bloodline and is three ranks higher than yourself.]
As she heard the system she was shocked. 35 soul points? She only gathered around 100 in a week hunting only beasts of similar level, looks like a common variant bloodline and cultivation level must have a serious impact on its strength. Whilst hesitating to engage in a battle she knew that she wasn"t yet a match of a beast three cultivation levels higher, a large roar erupted from the forest.
Immediately, tensing up she sneakily hid behind a large boulder when she saw what the roar came from it was a large tiger which was similar a Level Seven Body Refining spirit beast.
"System what is that?"
[Host, this is also a spirit beast with a variant common bloodline called a Blaze Tiger, but this one has Fire and Air attributes. This tiger is challenging the bear for it"s territory and also wishes to devour it in order to become a Ranked Eight Body Refining beast.]
After the systems message the Tiger lept onto the Iron Bear"s back, with astonishing speed. She noticed the air Qi gather around the Tiger as it lept which gave it a burst of speed. The fire Qi gathered around its fangs as it bite into the Iron bears neck. Surprisingly, that fierce attack only a small wound around its neck.
Angered, the Iron Bear shook its body in an attempt to get the tiger off. However, this was proven ineffective as the tiger repet.i.tively launched attacks towards the Metal Bear. Although, the Iron Bear"s defense is extraordinary injuries were still being inflicted. Knowing that this was not the solution to its problem the Iron Bear launched its bloodline ability were metal Qi gathered shooting in all directions which impacted the Blaze Tiger, which was sent tumbling. Although, a Blaze tiger had extraordinary offensive capabilities its defense was rather poor showing that a fierce wound was left after that exchange. The Iron Bear wasn"t faring much better itself as it was covered in many wounds all over it"s body.
Knowing that this was an opportunity to take them both down at once, I waited until both beasts fought until they were both covered with horrifying wounds lying on the ground completely still, breathing shallowly, I knew that the chances of me beating a Level Seven beast with uncommon bloodline was few so this was a great opportunity for me.
Dana immediately lept towards them using her most horrifying attack Frost Poison Breath. Usually, these beasts will remain unaffected by either getting out of the way or having the protection of Qi under such an attack. However, as they both just engaged in a vicious battle they had no Qi left and was simple ready for me to slaughter. As soon as the attack was launched panic emerged in both of their eyes which soon turned into a lifeless look as they both succ.u.mbed to the poison.
Grinning because of her huge gains of soul points before she was about to leave the system voice sounded in my head.
[Host, would you like to absorb their bloodlines for soul points? As these are two variant unique bloodlines they are both worth 250 soul points each]
Dana replied yes without hesitation, she has no use of just common variant ranked bloodlines as her bloodline was much stronger, only a similar rank bloodline can give her a much better bloodline. Not mentioning her aim was to improve her bloodline by advancing towards a True Dragon bloodline. Dana left with the grin still on her face, as this was the most she has gained from her week of being here. She decided once she get backs to a safe area she will look in the system to see if there is anything interesting to purchase with her soul points.
