Free Web NovelChapter 612: Chapter 612: Lu Ke Battles a Level 6 Fierce Beast
Before stepping out of the tent, Xu Yi suddenly said to Lu Ke: "Lu Ke, please keep secret what the Spirit Race mentioned today. At this moment, we cannot reveal it publicly."
Xu Yi felt that the Spirit Race choosing to enter the tent and talk to him about these matters meant they had entrusted the right to disclose it to Xu Yi.
After thinking about it, Xu Yi decided not to disclose it for now.
There was no benefit to making it public.
"Okay, I won’t say a word," Lu Ke said sensibly. As for the reasons, she didn’t want to know, nor would she ask Xu Yi.
Xu Yi didn’t explain anything and stepped out of the tent.
By this time, it was almost 11 o’clock.
However, Xu Yi was already hungry.
So, he and Lu Ke started preparing lunch.
"It seems like Xu Yi and Lu Ke’s appetite has increased again. How come their height hasn’t grown, yet their appetite has increased so much?"
"You must be blind! Lu Ke has grown taller and gained weight. Her current figure is completely different from before, how could she not have grown!"
"Have they both had a breakthrough? Didn’t Xu Yi say he wanted Lu Ke to experience the power of level 6, and then Lu Ke broke through?"
"Probably, every time they have a breakthrough, their appetite increases a bit."
"Does that mean Loli Ke is already the first level 6 mage?"
"I’m most looking forward to Xu Yi’s breakthrough. Once he breaks through, he can enter the territory of level 7 fierce beasts and hunt them to reach level 7 peak. Once he hits level 7 peak, within half a month’s time, he can hunt ten level 8 fierce beasts and complete the challenge."
"Hearing you say that makes me feel entering Spirit Blue Star is drawing nearer. Fortunately, my reserved food is almost gone, just waiting to hunt on Spirit Blue Star."
"It’s frustrating! Have they really had a breakthrough, can’t they just come out and say a word?"
Unfortunately, Lu Ke and Xu Yi remained silent.
After lunch, the two tidied up their things and then rode the fierce beasts to find the next level 6 fierce beast.
This time, Xu Yi planned to let Lu Ke take action to see how strong she had become.
After all, she had just advanced to a level 6 mage and needed to go through some battles.
Additionally, Xu Yi needed to tame a few level 6 fierce beasts for the snail as food.
The snail only absorbs living fierce beasts, so there was no other choice but to tame and reserve level 6 fierce beasts.
Soon, Xu Yi found a level 6 fierce beast.
Lu Ke was eager to have a go.
"Go on, it’s all up to you. Use your own fighting style, I’ll be watching over you from the side." Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, understanding that everyone has their own fighting style; there is no exact pattern to follow in combat.
Just like martial techniques, there are no fixed patterns or even moves.
"Alright," Lu Ke responded, rushing toward the fierce beast.
Xu Yi’s combat style was somewhat ’reckless’. He never considered whether he would get injured or how severe the injury might be.
When facing a target, he would charge in headfirst.
Using the most direct method, and the simplest moves.
This kind of fighting style was overly aggressive.
Qin Fan also used this fighting style, but he was even more frenzied than Xu Yi. Or rather, Qin Fan enjoyed the feeling of getting injured, having a tendency toward self-masochism.
As for Lu Ke?
Her fighting style was very steady, avoiding any avoidable damage. Moreover, she would use her most powerful attack methods to resolve the target in the shortest amount of time.
So, as soon as Lu Ke charged, she used Earthquake Fist.
Compared to Vibration, Lu Ke was more proficient with Earthquake Fist.
A single punch and she found she had knocked the fierce beast flying.
She couldn’t help but glance at her fist, then allowed herself a slight proud smile.
Before her breakthrough, she couldn’t fully withstand the telekinesis attacks of level 6 fierce beasts.
Now, even after being hit by a level 6 fierce beast’s telekinesis attack, she could still knock the opponent flying.
This great change made Lu Ke feel even more inflated.
Although her punch couldn’t shatter the bones of a level 6 fierce beast yet, it still caused significant damage.
It has to be said that with martial techniques, mages’ combat capabilities have indeed improved significantly.
If there were no martial techniques, at least three level 6 mages would be needed to injure a level 6 fierce beast. But after developing martial techniques, a single level 6 mage could kill a level 6 fierce beast.
"Cleary, Lu Ke must have broken through to level 6. Xu Yi must be incredibly powerful to allow others to experience level 6 power and help them break through. Like this, his whole team will reach level 6 quickly, ensuring early completion of the challenge."
"What’s completing the challenge got to do with Lu Ke and others? Can they breakthrough to level 8 mage within 500 days? This is obviously up to Xu Yi."
"With everyone else breaking through to level 6, Xu Yi can focus on reaching level 7. Then Qin Fan and the others can capture level 6 fierce beasts for the snail to absorb. Maybe Xu Yi will even need the snail’s help to break through to level 8."
"Luckily, there is Xu Yi in this challenge; otherwise, relying solely on the mages, even completing it on time would have been impossible, let alone ahead of time."
"I think the reason Xu Yi and Lu Ke aren’t talking about the breakthrough is that Xu Yi’s method has drawbacks and isn’t suitable for continuous use."
"Of course, there’s an issue; otherwise, the Spirit Race would have already used this method to nurture experts. Xu Yi might have even suffered some damage from this."
The silence from Xu Yi and Lu Ke stirred up many speculations among the live-stream audience.
Indeed, Xu Yi also realized there were huge risks with this approach.
So, besides Lu Ke, whom he trusted utterly and who trusted him completely, Xu Yi didn’t intend to use this method on others.
Mainly because, if anything went wrong, the damage he suffered would be much greater than the recipient’s.
Moreover, once they had a cultivation technique, there would be no need to use this risky approach.
Xu Yi could analyze the technique, then adapt it into a suitable cultivation technique for mages, allowing them to increase their cultivation speed.
Meanwhile, Lu Ke’s battle with the fierce beast was still ongoing.
Xu Yi watched on the sidelines, just in case.
However, that level 6 fierce beast was gradually draining its stamina, and its injuries worsened.
After more than an hour of fighting, the level 6 fierce beast finally collapsed.
Its bones and internal organs were severely damaged, and its telekinesis nearly depleted.
If Lu Ke continued attacking, it would die. But if she stopped, it would completely recover in about ten days.
So Xu Yi thought it was pretty good to let Lu Ke deal with a level 6 fierce beast. After taming it, it posed no threat and needed ten days to recover from its injuries.
Once tamed, giving it to the snail to absorb posed no psychological burden.
Thus, Xu Yi walked over to the level 6 fierce beast and used his taming skills.
Lu Ke rested on the side, nearly depleted of her telekinesis. However, she had very few injuries on her body.
This was due to the Body Refining Technique and Body Tempering Technique.
The body of a peer-level fierce beast was nowhere near as formidable as Lu Ke’s own body.
This was the advantage of martial techniques, a true human advantage.
