…

In front of the waterfall!

The next morning, Lanling got up spiritedly, washed up, had breakfast, and then started a new day of training.

Yesterday, he had completed the most critical Spirit Transcendence Skill.

Today’s goal was to lock onto moving water droplets with spiritual power.

If he could lock onto water droplets, then targeting other things would be a piece of cake.

He sat down forty meters away from the waterfall and stared at the droplets.

At first, he couldn’t see the droplets at all.

However, when he channeled the Dragon Bloodline power into his spiritual power and gazed through his eyes.

Suddenly, the waterfall forty meters away seemed to be pulled right in front of his eyes, and every water droplet became crystal clear.

Then, Lanling used the Spirit Transcendence Skill, letting the Demon Star Dragon Force lead his spiritual power out of his body to move along with a certain water droplet.

Suddenly, a miracle happened.

Lanling’s spiritual power was always locked onto the fast-moving droplet, something he had been completely unable to do before.

However, due to gravity acceleration, the droplet’s falling speed increased, and after just a few meters, Lanling’s spiritual power couldn’t keep up and immediately lost its lock on the target.

He tried again and the same thing happened.

He immediately retracted his spiritual power and turned to Ye Jingyu, “I can now lock onto a water droplet forty meters away, but only for a few meters.

After that, the droplet falls too fast for me to keep up.”

Ye Jingyu said, “That’s very normal, but with your spiritual talent, you’ll be able to lock onto a falling droplet for the whole distance soon.

It’s only forty meters after all.

The hardest part is already behind you.”

The so-called hardest part, of course, was the Spirit Transcendence Skill — the act of releasing the spirit from the body to chase and lock onto a moving target.

Lanling was fully encouraged by Ye Jingyu’s words, then immediately jumped into a new round of practice.

After that, he managed to lock onto the droplets for longer durations each time, and the distance also kept increasing, from five meters, to eight meters, to thirteen meters, to fifteen meters…

Finally, when he was able to maintain his lock on the falling droplet for fifteen meters, his spiritual power was completely drained.

His goal, however, was fifty-five meters, the full height of the waterfall.

Consequently, he had to stop training and return his gaze to normal.

Then, the scene in front of him left him completely stunned because there was a mermaid swimming in the water.

This mermaid was of course Ye Jingyu, who was swimming on her back, naked.

By then, the sun was high in the sky, and the weather was at its hottest.

Lanling had been practicing with full concentration, not even noticing if someone were swimming or even if someone were coming at him with lethal intent.

Therefore, Ye Jingyu couldn’t resist the temptations of the cool river any longer and jumped in for a swim.

But her timing was unlucky, as Lanling’s spiritual power had just run out.

The stunned Lanling, watching Ye Jingyu in the water, marvelled to himself at how great her figure was, especially those long legs which were utterly staggering.

The next second, Lanling noticed Ye Jingyu’s icy, lightning-fast glance shooting his way.

The following second, she dove back under the water, and Lanling immediately closed his eyes, then waited for her to emerge and explode with fury at him.

With his eyes closed, Lanling listened as Jingyu climbed ashore and got dressed.

“This time was unintentional, so I forgive you.

But if you continue to stare wide-eyed after realizing, that’s your fault,” Ye Jingyu coldly said, “Do it again and I’ll have to beat you up.”

…

Indeed, as Ye Jingyu said, the hardest part of locking onto a moving target with spiritual power was mastering the Spirit Transcendence Skill.

Once that was done, the rest became easier.

The next day, Lanling was able to track and lock onto a water droplet for a whole twenty-five meters, thirty meters the day after, and thirty-nine meters on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, he finally broke through the fifty-five meters.

In other words, from its appearance to its disappearance, his spiritual power maintained a lock the entire time.

Lanling leapt up with a surprise shout, “I did it, I succeeded.”

Ye Jingyu exclaimed, “I’ve already said it, once you break through Spirit Transcendence Skill, locking onto a forty-meter moving target becomes quite simple.

But you’ve done it in just five days, you’ve really blown my mind.

Rest well tonight, tomorrow we begin a new shooting trial, facing stronger exotic beasts.”

Stronger meant a richer and more potent Bloodline Dragon Force, meaning he could devour even more energy.

The Demon Star inside Lanling stirred restlessly.

…

Early the next day, Ye Jingyu and Lanling left the waterfall and headed to the place where the Blood Cloud Leopard had appeared before.

Compared to Wild Ox Valley, this place was much more dangerous, with many more ferocious exotic beasts like the Blood Lion, Blood Cloud Leopard, Demon Lizards, and so on – almost too many to count.

“Look ahead, another Blood Cloud Leopard,” said Ye Jingyu.

Lanling focused his eyes and indeed spotted one in the bushes; this one was black, with even more vibrant red spots.

“Black Blood Cloud Leopards are more alert and faster,” Ye Jingyu said.

“What about its Dragon Bloodline?” Lanling asked.

Ye Jingyu was taken aback, then said, “Of course, that’s stronger too, which is why it’s more powerful.”

“That’s great,” Lanling thought to himself joyfully, took a deep breath, nocked an arrow to his bow, and pulled back fiercely.

Then, using his spiritual lock, he fiercely locked onto the black Blood Cloud Leopard forty-odd meters away.

One second, two seconds, three seconds!

As soon as his spiritual lock was complete, since he didn’t need to aim specifically at the eyes of the Blood Cloud Leopard, the initial targeting was, in fact, somewhat easier.

“””

“Whoosh…”

The bowstring twanged, and the arrow flew out like a shooting star.

However, the arrow had barely left the bow when the Blood Cloud Leopard, upon hearing the sound of the bowstring, dashed out like lightning.

Lanling really got a shock; the speed of the black Blood Cloud Leopard was too fast, he estimated its speed at over twenty meters per second.

In just a moment, it had run dozens of meters away, which was terrifying.

Without a doubt, Lanling’s first arrow missed, a full twenty meters away from the target.

But he did not give up.

Although the Blood Cloud Leopard’s twenty meter per second speed was fast, it was still not faster than the acceleration of a droplet in the next few seconds.

Lanling locked on firmly with his spiritual power.

Suddenly, he couldn’t see anything else in his field of vision; nothing else existed around him, there was only the leopard’s light and shadow moving quickly.

The crazily running leopard was always firmly locked on by him.

Unfortunately, the leopard soon ran forty or fifty meters away, breaking free from Lanling’s spiritual lock range.

Without a second word, Ye Jingyu picked up Lanling on her back and charged towards the Blood Cloud Leopard.

Truly a high-ranking samurai, although not of the agility type, Ye Jingyu’s instantaneous speed was actually no less than that of the Blood Cloud Leopard. freēnovelkiss.com

On Ye Jingyu’s back, Lanling once again locked onto the Blood Cloud Leopard, with his spiritual power following it like a shadow, tracking it closely.

Taking a deep breath, he forcefully drew his bow and notched an arrow.

In his mind, he quickly calculated the Blood Cloud Leopard’s next trajectory, figuring out the lead.

“Whoosh…?” He fired off an arrow vigorously.

The second arrow also missed its mark, five meters from the target.

Immediately afterwards, Lanling quickly drew the third arrow and fiercely shot it out.

The distance from the target was only two meters now.

The fourth arrow, he shot out fiercely.

“Whoosh…”

The black-gold arrowhead plunged into the leopard’s belly, even piercing right through its body.

Clearly, the leopard’s talent was entirely in agility, so its skin and flesh were not strong in defense.

Finally hitting the target, Lanling was ecstatic in his heart; the Blood Cloud Leopard, running at twenty meters per second, and he was actually able to hit it.

On Earth, this would’ve been almost impossible.

This Spirit Transcendence Skill was truly heaven-defying.

Lanling immediately got down from Ye Jingyu’s back.

The Blood Cloud Leopard let out a roar, and despite its wound, continued to run forward another two or three hundred meters, then fiercely crashed into the bushes and breathed its last.

In fact, it might not have died from the arrow wound alone, but because it kept running wildly after being injured, causing the wound in its stomach to tear massively, killing it outright.

Rushing to the Blood Cloud Leopard without delay, he pulled out the black-gold arrow from its belly.

At the same time, the Demon Star within him began to rotate rapidly, swallowing frenetically.

With the fire-red wild ox, it had only swallowed for less than half a minute, but with this Blood Cloud Leopard, it took nearly a full minute.

Lanling felt the power of the leopard’s Dragon Bloodline transforming into countless strands of energy, seeping into his body.

“How much is the Bloodline Dragon Force of this Blood Cloud Leopard?” Lanling asked.

“It’s twice that of the fire-red wild ox, at most three of them would be enough to increase your strength by ten jin,” Yao Xing said.

Lanling was immediately thrilled.

Then he continued to search for new prey in the wilderness.

The wilderness was too vast, spanning hundreds of miles, and the grass was very dense, making exotic beasts not particularly easy to find.

Lanling and Ye Jingyu searched for two to three hours without any gain.

Ye Jingyu started feeling uncomfortable again.

She was someone who felt like dying if she didn’t bathe for a day, and immediately searched instinctively for nearby rivers.

After hearing the sound of flowing water, they both rushed towards it quickly.

While running, she began to undo her tight leather clothes and said, “Suo Lun, you don’t need me to warn you about anything, right?”

“Got it, if I peek, may I go blind,” Lanling said.

Upon reaching the riverbank, Lanling turned his back and sat down.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingyu quickly stripped off her clothes and plunged into the river, emitting a sound of extreme pleasure and refreshment.

“I’m hot too; I also want to take a bath,” Lanling complained to himself, fighting the urge to turn around and sneak a peek.

Just then, a sudden loud noise came from behind him, as if something big had burst out of the water.

“Lanling, run…” Then he heard Ye Jingyu’s cry of alarm, her voice had never been like this before.

Turning around, Lanling nearly jumped up on the spot.

At that moment, a giant snake, tens of meters long, coiled tightly around the naked Ye Jingyu, opened its huge maw, ready to devour her.

The snake was at least forty or fifty meters long, one meter thick, with horns on its head that were so red they seemed about to drip blood.

What kind of monstrous creature was this?

So huge, so terrifying?

It was at least many times stronger than any exotic beasts they had hunted before.
