The strength of a âShuraâ, Fang Han knew very thoroughly. They moved like lightning, capable of flying at extremely fast speeds. The scales on their bodies were impervious to even flying swords, and they had the strength of thirteen horses, making them only suppressible by âDivine Realmâ cultivators. If one âShuraâ was this powerful, then how powerful would ten working together be?
Probably even a true disciple like Jin s.h.i.+ Tai would be destroyed in one strike, his entire body shattered to nonexistence.
If we can actually turn the ten âFlying Yashaâ into âShuraâ, then I will even be able to gain a spot amongst the true disciples. It will be even easier to dominate the âShanâhe Rankingsâ and be first. I wonder who the first place person on the âShanâhe Rankingsâ is? The amount of time I have spent within the Yuâhua School is too short, and I have too few intimate friends, I canât even form a group. I am not well informed about any news. When I return, I must fix these problems. To just bury my head and cultivate is not the best plan.
While he pondered in his mind, he continued running and jumping, chasing after the aura left by the large group of âHeavenly Devilsâ.
Fang Han didnât hope to actually fight against the large group of âHeavenly Devilsâ, that would just be like smas.h.i.+ng an egg into a stone. Instead, he only hoped to kill the stragglers which had been left behind and gain pure âSky Blue Great Pelletâ and âBlood Pelletâ essences to create the pellets. The more âHeavenly Devilsâ he killed, the better, and this would also greatly temper his own agility and reflexes. It would temper his ability to adapt to any situation at any time.
This would be real combat.
If he was able to survive ten days and ten nights within the âHeavenly Devil Arenaâ, after leaving, there would definitely be an obvious change.
Yan! In the following encounters with âHeavenly Devilsâ, you must not help me kill them. Let me do it by myself. I would like to make the most of this opportunity to temper myself.
Donât worry, even if you call for me I wonât come out. The examination this time around has too many âHeavenly Devilsâ, Iâm afraid some things changed. The Yuâhua School will definitely realize this, as if they allow all of the disciples taking the exam this time to die, then just would they still be able to call themselves one of the âTen Great Immortal Path Schoolsâ? They would become a small, third-rate school. If I exert my mana, it will definitely be noticed. You should also not use the âSilver Snake Swordâ and âBlood Cotton Devil Clothesâ. However, you can use the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ all you want, and that should be enough to protect yourself.
After Yan finished speaking, he quieted down.
Fang Han felt his skin stir, the âYellow Springs Pictureâ tattoo entering into the s.p.a.ce between his skin and membrane, completely hiding itself.
âOkay! With this many âHeavenly Devilsâ, Iâm afraid that some of the disciples are in danger during the exam this time around. I just happen to have the ability to save a few. My strength is great, and along with the grace of saving their lives, they will probably all be extremely grateful, allowing me to win them over.
âThe time to show my might has come!â
After Yan hid himself, Fang Han began to concentrate his spirit. His entire body seemed to be like a highly tensed up leopard about to chase after its prey. Even the slightest of vibrations of the gra.s.s blowing in the wind far away was able to be sensed by his spirit.
Constantly running and moving without the slightest rest, in the amount of time it took to roll the eyes, Fang Han had already traveled tens of li away. Suddenly, Fang Han moved diagonally, his body turning around. After skimming over a hundred steps, he viciously let out a palm, striking at an inconspicuous boulder that was beside him.
Surprisingly, the boulder didnât shatter, but instead let out a piercing scream and leapt up, turning into a pigeon-faced old female priest. It was actually another âHeavenly Devilâ which had turned into a stone hoping to ambush Fang Han.
The appearance that the âHeavenly Devilâ turned into, who knows which eaten old priest it was based off of. However, it couldnât conceal itself against Fang Hanâs piercing eyes.
Right now, Fang Hanâs spirit was able to see through ghosts masquerading as G.o.ds. It was even more sensitive than the spirits of dogs and cats by a lot (cats and dogs, when they sense yin qi ghosts they will bark and meow), so naturally, he could sense it. Thus, he had struck out and heavily injured the âHeavenly Devilâ.
âBig Dipper Kick!â
During the time in which the âHeavenly Devilâ turned into the old priest, Fang Hanâs leg had already struck out. An intense, powerful, and sharp qi again hit the âHeavenly Devilâ, tearing it apart. I didnât reform. Afterwards, he waved for the âSky Wolf Smokeâ to come out and wrap up the âHeavenly Devilâ and brought it into the âYellow Springs Pictureâ.
Yan didnât speak, silently refining the âHeavenly Devilâ into a âSky Blue Great Pelletâ.
One hit one kill, extremely clean.
[TL: Wasnât really thoughâŚ]
Now that Fang Han had experience killing âHeavenly Devilsâ, he was much faster at it. For him, it had become as easy as chopping radishes. Thus, as he killed more and more devils and refined them into pellets, he became more and more confident.
After killing this âHeavenly Devilâ, he didnât rest. He continued moving forward like a âTen Thousand Li Horseâ, turning left and right to observe the wilderness around him. He looked everywhere, trying to see if he could encounter another Yuâhua School disciple.
After about an hour, he swept another area of ground about several tens of li around him, and encountered another group of isolated âHeavenly Devilsâ. There were about fifteen of them. This time, his actions were even swifter. Before the âHeavenly Devilsâ could even move, Fang han released a great roar, creating a sonic wave. With it flew the âSky Wolf Smokeâ, catching the paralyzed âHeavenly Devilsâ. Afterwards, they were refined into pellets.
Currently, Fang Han had a total of twenty âSky Blue Great Pelletsâ,which meant that he had killed around thirty âHeavenly Devilsâ, as ten of them had been fed to the âFlying Yashaâ, one per âFlying Yashaâ. Including the one that he had killed at the beginning which looked like Fang Qing Wei, he had killed a total of thirty one âHeavenly Devilsâ, and refined thirty one pellets. He now took one out and ate it. The rest would be stored until they were needed later.
Towards cultivators, pellets were their food, pellets were their wealth.
It seems as if the harm done by a sonic wave attack towards âHeavenly Devilsâ is very great, as they are just currents of qi. I wonder what Devil King stage âHeavenly Devilsâ are like? I heard that they are more powerful than âShurasâ. If I can kill one and refine it into a pellet, I wonder what the effects would be? However, without Yan helping me, I, by myself, have no way of prevailing over a Devil King.
Gradually, Fang Han figured out the fastest method for dealing with âHeavenly Devilsâ.
Puâchi! Another âHeavenly Devilâ flew down from the sky. After seeing Fang Hanâs flesh, it evilly, fiercely rushed down, but was captured very quickly. Yet another pellet had entered Fang Hanâs hand.
âTwenty one pellets! I am still really far from three hundred and sixty pellets though, and I should kill at least five hundred âHeavenly Devilsâ to be safe.â
Just as Fang Han was killing this âHeavenly Devilâ and refining it into a pellet, during this moment of fortune, within the depths of the Yuâhua Schoolâs âSky Courtâ, a few âHalf Eldersâ stood in front of a giant mirror. They were already anxious like the ants atop a hot pot.
Atop that giant mirror appeared extremely many black dots and some red dots. The black dots were extremely cl.u.s.tered, like a swarm of locusts, and moving everywhere. Meanwhile, the red dots were dispersed in different areas in groups of twos and threes. However, they were gradually being swallowed up by the black dots.
It was very obvious that the black dots atop the mirror were âHeavenly Devilsâ and that the red dots were the Yuâhua School disciples that were taking the exam.
âHow can there be so many âHeavenly Devilsâ! In the previous inner court disciple exams, there were only not even one tenth this amount of âHeavenly Devilsâ. The venerable headmaster had sealed off this entire area, not allowing any extremely powerful âHeavenly Devilsâ in, and not allowing extreme amounts of âHeavenly Devilsâ in! Yet now, there are so many, and they are still increasing in number!â
âI have already relayed the news to the âYuâhua Sky Palaceâ. Such a catastrophic matter, the âGreat Eldersâ will definitely have a method to deal with it.â
A few âHalf Eldersâ anxiously spoke, their speech very fast.
At this moment, while they were speaking: Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!. From the sky, the sound of an intensely ringing bell was conveyed down.
âThe âHeaven and Earth Alarm Bellâ! This is the sound of the âYuâhua Sky Palaceâs âHeaven and Earth Alarm Bellâ. After hearing this sound, all of the true disciples and âShanâhe Rankingâ inner court disciples currently cultivating within the school have to rush to the âSky Palaceâ!â
The âHeaven and Earth Alarm Bellâ was ringing!
Something big had happened.
It was clearly that within the âHeavenly Devil Arenaâ, the number of âHeavenly Devilsâ had suddenly multiplied ten times.
After the âHeaven and Earth Alarm Bellâ rang, the true disciples and âShanâhe Rankingâ inner court disciples all had to go to the âSky Palaceâ. Just from this, one could tell just how much importance the Yuâhua School put on these âShanâhe Rankingâ disciples. They were pretty much comparable to true disciples, that is to say there were just true disciples in wait of promotion.
However, these events were completely unknown to Fang Han, who was far away in the âHeavenly Devil Arenaâ. He was completely absorbed by the pleasure of killing âHeavenly Devilsâ as well as the excitement of facing against all of their various transformations and dark plots. In doing so, he had learned quite a few techniques from the âHeavenly Devilsâ.
[TL: The raw has it as âHeavenly Devilsâs techniques, but in the next line, it explains it this way so I changed it]
Of these âHeavenly Devilsâ, some had devoured cultivators, and obtained the abilities that those cultivators had learned and experienced. When fighting against Fang Han, they used them. Naturally, Fang Han was able to pick up these techniques.
The cunningness of the âHeavenly Devilsâ was the exact replicate of the person they consumed. However complex the personâs heart was, however, complex the âHeavenly Devilâ was. Fang Han, in fighting with so many various âHeavenly Devilsâ, felt as if he had fought against various types of human cunningness. His spirit slowly tempered itself, step by step, changing and becoming more pure as he reflected over these various things.
While thinking about these things, Fang Hanâs movements became more and more skilled as his experiences became more and more rich.
âAll the world becomes clear, experience the richness of the world and people.â
During all his running and killing, Fang Han encountered another three groups of âHeavenly Devilsâ.
He had been encircled by thirty two âHeavenly Devilsâ, but he just full out used the âSky Wolf Smokeâ to enwrap himself and form a magic sphere, protecting himself before flying and leaping up and down and killing. His great roars were like thunder. The wolf smoke, under the control of his mind, became more and more controlled. Eventually, he was able to use the smoke to form an armor made of thinly layered plates of condensed smoke that could be worn on his body. This condensed armor contained a limitless, murderous qi. Fang Han who was enwrapped by it truly seemed to have become a âSky Wolfâ.
âSky Wolf Battle Armor!â
Fang Han knew that his spiritâs strength had caused the strength of the âSky Wolf Smokeâ and âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ to increase by a stage. The âSky Wolf Little Masterâ w.a.n.g Mo Lin was powerful, but he also hadnât reached the âDivine Realmâ. Although his spirit had reached the âEye Attackâ stage and was able to affect the minds of others, it was still not as forceful as Fang Hanâs.
With lingâqi and baoâqi level magic treasures, the more powerful the ownerâs spirit, the more powerful they were when used, even reaching a stage where it exerted great power.
If the âSky Rooster Pure Yang Ropeâ had been wielded by a âDivine Realmâ cultivator when they encountered the âPink Princeâ, the âPink Princeâ probably would have been bound upon meeting.
Currently, Fang Hanâs spirit was enough to condense, and was highly concentrated. He had finally managed to agglomerate the true power of the âSky Wolf Smokeâ by turning it into the body protecting âSky Wolf Battle Armorâ! He was now able to utilize the murderous qi of the wolf smoke.
Due to the extremely murderous qi from the battle armor and Fang Hanâs own palms and roars, as well as his sharp spirit, every âHeavenly Devilâ was shattered to pieces by him on sight and stored into the âYellow Springs Pictureâ.
âThirty Five pellets! Fifty pellets! Sixty one pellets!â
One âHeavenly Devilâ after another was swept out of the sky, unable to use a single move to defend. The thirty or so âHeavenly Devilsâ were actually all defeated! Combined with the âHeavenly Devilsâ he had killed earlier and refined into pellets, he had refined a total of sixty one pellets!
[TL: He did feed ten to the âFlying Yashaâ, author seems to ignore this now⌠I also a.s.sumed the author made a typo, ä¸ĺşä¸éĄżéĽĺ复 doesnât make sense to me, if anyone knows please help!]
Fang Hanâs ever growing interest towards killing no longer required him to run around with just his flesh. Now he could just condense the âSky Wolf Battle Armorâ and viciously rip through the skies like a âSky Wolfâ looking for prey. At the same time, he kept an eye out for other Yuâhua School disciples.
At this time, from in front of him suddenly came the sound of a flute and piano being played.
Using the âWolfâs Eyeâ to observe, Fang Han saw in the distance a full hundred âHeavenly Devilsâ flying in the sky. Meanwhile, below them on the ground was an encircled group of Yuâhua School magic clothes wearing disciples. It was obvious they had been surrounded.
âPerhaps this is another one of the âHeavenly Devilsâ tricks?â
âNo, it is not one of their tricks! From those Yuâhua School disciples I can feel the aura of flesh. Moreover, that flue and piano both contain mana. They are clearly magic treasures which use sound to fight against âHeavenly Devilsâ!â
