Chapter 46 - Fire Rhinoceros King (2)
"Then if you see her again, can you recognize her?"
"C-can. I will recognize her even if she turns into ashes," the fire rhinoceros king hurriedly promised.
"I"ll bring her here. I won"t kill you if you can recognize her," Leng Ruoxue said.
"Y-yes."
Leng Ruoxue took out a pill and stuffed it into the fire rhinoceros king"s mouth. "This is poison. Don"t even think about running. Otherwise, you won"t last three days."
"N-no.." The fire rhinoceros king was on the brink of tears. This was its territory, so where could it run? It wasn"t easy to conquer such a territory, so how could it bear to abandon it?
After doing what she came here to do, Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen left the Misty Woods. Of course, they didn"t forget to take the dead fire rhinoceroses with them. They were their spoils of war.
"Xue"er, did you really give the fire rhinoceros king poison?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"Of course not. It will just cause diarrhea for some time," Leng Ruoxue said mischievously.
"How long will it last?" Ye Chen was curious.
"Until I give it the antidote," Leng Ruoxue said matter-of-factly.
"…"
"Doesn"t that mean it won"t have the strength to run?" So ruthless, but he liked it.
"Does it dare to run? That fellow might look mighty, but it"s actually very cowardly," Leng Ruoxue said clear-headedly. They had caught more than a dozen fire rhinoceroses, so that fellow knew that it couldn"t continue to ignore the situation. If it weren"t for the sake of protecting its dignity as the fire rhinoceros king, it wouldn"t have been willing to come out. Moreover, it only came out as a bluff by relying on its numbers.
"Quill, find an open s.p.a.ce to stop," Leng Ruoxue said all of a sudden.
"What"s the matter?" Ye Chen was puzzled.
"I"m going to break through," Leng Ruoxue explained. She had broken through to advanced Spiritual Sovereign for several months now and had stored up enough spiritual power, but there had been no sign of advancing to peak Spiritual Sovereign. She didn"t expect to feel that she was going to break through from the fight just now.
Quill found a relatively flat place to land.
Leng Ruoxue jumped off Quill"s back and sat cross-legged on the ground. She broke through to peak Spiritual Sovereign in no time since it was only a minor stage. So except for the relatively low-level silver wolves advancing one or two levels, none of her other beasts advanced.
Leng Ruoxue gazed at her spiritual power that was a deep gold color, a color that only peak Spiritual Sovereigns possessed. Spiritual power would have color after breaking through to Great Spiritualist. The color for Great Spiritualist was silvery-white. For Spiritual Monarch, it was light gold, and the color from elementary to peak would gradually deepen. The color for Spiritual Sovereign was gold, and it would also gradually deepen from elementary to peak. It was the same for Spiritual Supremacy and Spiritual Deity. The color for Spiritual Supremacy was purple gold, and the color for Spiritual Deity was purple. Moreover, there was no elementary, intermediate, advanced, or peak for Spiritual Deity.
When using spiritual skills to fight, the spiritual power released would mainly be the color of the spiritual power attribute, except that there would be a colored layer corresponding to the user"s spiritual power level enveloping it. This way, it would be easy to differentiate the levels of people when others were watching them fight. Otherwise, people of low levels wouldn"t be able to know the strength of those of higher levels.
"It took a long time to advance to peak Spiritual Sovereign," Leng Ruoxue complained. Her Heaven Defying Art was still at the second level. Only after completing the second level would her strength be equivalent to Spiritual Supremacy.
"Be content, you greedy little thing. Many people never reach Spiritual Sovereign," Ye Chen said with feigned anger.
"That"s true." Leng Ruoxue was just joking. In fact, she was very satisfied. Even though she hadn"t advanced to Spiritual Supremacy yet, with her current strength, she might not necessarily lose to someone at that level. If she had the chance, she had to find an unlucky Spiritual Supremacy to try.
After Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen returned to the Leng residence, they went to their respective rooms to rest.
The next morning, Leng Ruoxue went to see her big brother as soon as she woke up. But she didn"t expect Ye Chen to be earlier than her. Moreover, the two of them seemed to be chatting happily. She couldn"t help being curious. What are they talking about?
"Big Brother."
"Xue"er, you"re here." Leng Ruohan"s mood had improved significantly.
"Why are you here?" Leng Ruoxue looked at Ye Chen in puzzlement. This fellow actually didn"t go back to his home after returning to Phoenix City last night but insisted on staying at her place.
"I came to chat with Big Brother!" Ye Chen said with a light smile.
"What were you talking about?" Leng Ruoxue was curious. Are they close?
"This is a secret between men," Ye Chen said mysteriously.
"Then you continue chatting with Big Brother first. I have something to do," Leng Ruoxue said. Tsk, he"s actually leaving me hanging. With that, she left the Cold Tea Pavilion.
"Xue"er!" Leng Ruohan called out from behind her.
"Is Xue"er angry?" he asked worriedly. Xue"er actually ignored me.
"Big Brother, don"t worry. She won"t be angry," Ye Chen said.
"Miss, why are you back so soon?" Lü Tao was slightly surprised when she saw her young miss, who had just left, return within a short time.
"It"s okay, Lü Tao. You and Cui Zhu just have to cultivate diligently!" Leng Ruoxue reminded her. Before leaving, she had left spiritual essence pills for them, so these two girls were now intermediate Spiritual Monarchs.
"Yes, Miss. Don"t worry. Cui Zhu and I will cultivate seriously," Lü Tao said gratefully. If not for their young miss, they didn"t know how long it would have taken for them to advance to Spiritual Monarch. Moreover, after consuming the spiritual essence pills she left for them, they clearly felt that they absorbed spiritual power much faster than before.
"Eat this. One each for you and Cui Zhu." Leng Ruoxue took out two red spirit fruits.
"Thank you, Miss." Lü Tao knew that everything her young miss gave was something good.
"I don"t need any attending here. Leave and eat the spirit fruit," Leng Ruoxue said
"Yes."
"Xue"er."
"Grandfather!"
"Xue"er, do you have a way to treat Ruohan"s injuries?" Leng Qingtian asked directly. He knew that Ruohan was willing to speak now.
"I don"t know either. I have to search through the pill formulas Master left me," Leng Ruoxue said.
"Look for it then. Grandpa will accompany Ruohan," Leng Qingtian said worriedly.
"Grandpa, don"t go yet. Ye Chen is there. They seem to be having a good time chatting." Leng Ruoxue stopped him. She was afraid that her grandfather wouldn"t be able to control himself and reveal a pained expression when he saw her big brother. That would put a lot of pressure on him.
