46 -44: Bountiful Harvest, Cultivation Improvement

After a scream, the wild ox fell to the ground with a thud.

Lanling immediately charged out, and at that moment, he distinctly felt the Yao Xing within him come to life in an instant, and then it began to rapidly spin, turning into a black hole-like existence.

Immediately after, Lanling felt a surge of Dragon Vein Power leak from the body of the wild ox, which was quickly devoured by the Yao Xing.

This Yao Xing was indeed as wicked and defying as it could be, as it actually directly devoured the Bloodline Dragon Force.

This world was one of balance, where humans and exotic beasts alike possessed Bloodline Dragon Force within them.

However, when they died, this power would dissipate and return to the world.

And now, the Yao Xing interrupted this cycle and directly devoured the dispersing force of the Dragon Vein.

Strictly speaking, this was a violation of the energy balance of the Flame Dragon Continent.

Thus, it was named Yao Xing!

The entire absorption process only took less than two seconds, almost ending as soon as it began.

“I have finally, finally absorbed power once again,” trembled the Yao Xing.

Although this force was weak, both Lanling and the Yao Xing were very excited.

Previously, between the bow training, mental targeting, and fixed target shooting, it took a lot of effort to truly slay an exotic beast, which was all for the sake of absorbing Dragon Power energy.

This signified the true start of becoming stronger.

The first hunt was complete, and then he began to search for the second one.

The reason Wild Ox Valley was so named was that there were indeed many wild oxen, even solitary ones which Lanling was looking for were numerous.

Soon, he found the second one, leisurely grazing with eyes as big as fists.

Bending the bow and setting the arrow, he took a deep breath, then entered the Inverted Moon Mantra, using his spiritual power to lock onto the ox’s eye.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

five seconds!

This time, it only took five seconds to complete the lock, and within the Spiritual Illusion, only the ox’s eye existed.

Shoot!

The arrow shot out like a meteor, without any surprise, almost identical to shooting at a fixed target.

A scream followed, and the arrow once again pierced through the wild ox’s eye, through the brain, causing instant death.

Afterward, the Yao Xing entered another excited state of devouring.

Lanling even felt a strange fiery energy drilling into his body, threading into his heart’s depths.

…

Then, Lanling entered a time of bountiful harvest.

Wild oxen had great power but weak spiritual strength, weren’t very vigilant, and since they weren’t very active and had big eyes, they were easy to shoot once targeted.

Unfortunately, given Lanling’s spiritual power, he could only hunt ten at a time before needing four hours to recover his physical and mental strength.

Of course, by now, the Yao Xing had already absorbed the Bloodline Dragon Force of the wild oxen and could sustain Lanling to shoot the eleventh arrow, the twelfth arrow.

But Lanling also needed to use this power to enhance his own strength; the Dragon Power devoured by the Yao Xing couldn’t be wasted at all.

As a result, Lanling could only hunt around twenty wild oxen a day.

It would take at least three to four days to enhance his strength by ten pounds.

And with less than three months until the final graduation exam, he still needed to increase his arm strength to three hundred pounds and his mental power to over one hundred meters.

There was simply not enough time.

At night during his rest, Lanling shared his concerns with Ye Jingyu.

“Do your best, and leave the rest to fate,” said Ye Jingyu.

…

Each day following, Lanling repeated the process of hunting wild oxen.

At a distance of thirty meters, an arrow through the ox’s eye into the head, a one-shot kill, Lanling had become infallible.

His daily tally rose from twenty to around twenty-five.

That noon, Lanling was hunting his nineteenth wild ox of the day.

From the start of his hunting to now, he had already killed seventy-four oxen in total; twenty-six more, and he would reach a hundred.

Devouring the Bloodline Dragon Force of a hundred wild oxen would enable him to undergo a Dragon Power refinement, increasing the strength of his arms by ten pounds to ninety pounds.

Bending the bow and setting the arrow, he took a deep breath, then held his breath to lock onto the target with his spiritual power.

“Swish…” The arrow shot forth.

As expected, the arrow entered through the ox’s eye, pierced straight through the brain, resulting in instant death.

Such was his skill, that within thirty meters, he was almost always spot on, demonstrating the formidable aspect of mental targeting.

“Twenty-five more to go,” Lanling thought to himself, then continued to search for the next solitary wild ox.

At that moment, Lanling deeply felt that though the direct devouring of the Bloodline Dragon Force by the Yao Xing was heaven-defying, the speed of his own training was still not fast enough.

Continuing at this pace, he wouldn’t even reach the level of a first-grade Samurai archer before the final graduation exam.

Just then, suddenly, a roaring sound not far away caught his attention, resembling that of an ox, yet also like a wild beast.

Then, there was also that ear-piercing sound of stones being torn apart.

Turning over a small hill, Lanling immediately beheld a very large, fiery red wild ox.

This body, at least twice the size of a normal wild ox.

It was currently pawing at the ground, and the hard stones, once scraped by its sharp iron hooves, sent shards flying instantly.

And its two ox horns, black and shiny, seemed even harder than steel.

“This is the leader of the wild oxen, the Fiery Red Savage Ox,” said Ye Jingyu.

“Its Bloodline Dragon Force is much stronger, it’s very fast, with immense strength, and not something you can kill.”

Lanling was astonished, this must be the elite-level wild ox that Yao Xing had mentioned.

In every herd, there was such an elite fiery red savage bull.

The power absorbed from killing this wild ox was equivalent to dozens of ordinary ones.

Lanling felt a surge of excitement in his heart and said, “I want to try.”

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jingyu nodded and then drew her curved blade, standing guard to one side.

A single fiery red savage bull was certainly not a challenge for her.

“Wait, unless the wild ox comes within ten meters of me and threatens my life, you cannot kill it,” Lanling said.

“Okay,” replied Ye Jingyu.

Lanling took a deep breath, and took out an eighty-pound bow from Ye Jingyu’s pack.

Yes, an eighty-pound bow.

At the moment, his arm strength was only eighty pounds, and he needed a sixty-pound bow to aim and shoot without moving a muscle.

However, he now chose to use an eighty-pound bow to hunt this fiery red savage bull.

First, he tried to draw the bow with his own strength and found that it was extremely difficult to pull back an eighty-pound bow, let alone aim steadily. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

So next, he had to use the Dragon Vein Power, because Yao Xing had already absorbed the Bloodline Dragon Force from seventy-five wild oxen.

At his command, the Dragon Power within Yao Xing surged into Lanling’s arm, abruptly increasing the strength in his hand.

“Creak…” He directly drew back the eighty-pound strong bow.

Then, his gaze suddenly narrowed, entering the Inverted Moon Mantra Illusion Realm, condensing all his spiritual power, and locking onto the big eyes of the elite fiery red savage bull with his spiritual power.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The power of Yao Xing was draining rapidly.

He had locked on completely.

“Swish…” He suddenly released an arrow.

The sharp arrow instantly shot towards the fiery red savage bull’s eyes, as fast as lightning.

Lanling’s aim was precise, but the reaction of the fiery red savage bull was swift.

Just as the sharp arrow was about to pierce its eye, it abruptly closed its bell-like eyes.

“Bang…” The arrow struck the thick eyelid directly, flying out and leaving behind only a shallow wound.

The skin of the fiery red savage bull was extremely thick and tough.

Aggravated by the pain, the fiery red savage bull was completely enraged.

With a fierce roar, it charged madly.

Its speed was very fast; it covered the short thirty-meter distance in less than two seconds, opened its mouth wide in front of Lanling, roaring, ready to gore Lanling into a pile of flesh with its terrifying horns.

Ye Jingyu’s curved blade was about to shoot out like lightning.

At that moment, Lanling, with all his might, quickly drew the bow and shot the arrow, unable to aim properly and relying solely on his instincts.

“Aow…”

The sharp arrow shot directly into the wild ox’s mouth, through the throat, piercing its heart.

Ye Jingyu quickly pulled Lanling aside, dodging as the corpse of the wild ox, weighing several thousand pounds, crashed down.

In the final moment, Lanling had killed the fierce red savage bull.

It was practically a miracle, extremely lucky.

He hadn’t even aimed properly, yet he managed to hit the target directly.

Suddenly, Lanling felt all his strength drained completely from his body, and his legs turned weak.

Meanwhile, Yao Xing screeched excitedly, frantically absorbed the Bloodline Dragon Force scattering from the dead fiery red savage bull.

And this time, the absorption lasted a full half a minute.

“Yao Xing, how is the Bloodline Dragon Force of this fiery red savage bull?” Lanling asked.

“Now equivalent to twenty to thirty ordinary wild oxen,” Yao Xing responded.

“So, including the ones we’ve absorbed before, is it enough to undergo Dragon Power tempering to enhance the strength of my arms?” Lanling asked.

“It’s enough,” Yao Xing said.

“Go recover your spiritual power in the water, and I will use the Dragon Power to remodel your arms, enhancing your strength.”

Next, Lanling once again submerged himself in the water, listening to Ye Jingyu’s Tranquility Mantra to recover spiritual power.

At the same time, Yao Xing released the Dragon Power, tempering and remodelling Lanling’s arms inch by inch.

First came the veins, then the bones, and finally the muscles.

After five full hours, the Dragon Power tempering was complete.

When Lanling opened his eyes again, he found himself rejuvenated, his arms felt light and much warmer, and his strength had noticeably increased.

According to Yao Xing, this round of Dragon Power tempering had increased his arm strength by ten pounds, reaching ninety pounds now.

Although he was still far from the goal of three hundred pounds, such a pronounced increase in strength was still exhilarating.

Then, when he once again pulled the sixty-pound bow, he found it to be very easy, a complete change from before.

This elite fiery red savage bull was truly satisfying; killing one was equivalent to killing dozens of ordinary ones.

At this rate, killing about a dozen more would increase Lanling’s arm strength to over one hundred pounds.
