Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 170 Return
Li Zhen put away the 'Small Inverted Five Elements Formation'. He tried to push the stone blocking the entrance of the cave, but found that he could not move it.

With a wave of his hand, he put the big stone into a large storage bag. After the big stone disappeared, there was still soil outside.

There had been a late-stage third-order war outside, and the environment had been damaged.

He shook his head and no longer thought about digging the soil and leaving.

At the late stage of Qi training, he had enough spiritual power to barely use the 'Earth Escape Technique'.

This was also the first time he used the 'Earth Escape Technique', a second-level spell. In theory, only those who had truly established a solid foundation could successfully practice it.

However, his 'Earth Escape Technique' came from the experience gained from swallowing the 'Earth Escape Talisman' in the Dragon Heart Space, and he did not need to actively practice it to master it.

He couldn't use it before because he didn't have enough spiritual power. He needed at least a thousand spiritual powers to activate a second-level spell.

In fact, other cultivators in the late stage of Qi training cannot cast second-level spells even if they have enough spiritual power. Second-level spells require the cultivator's understanding of the spell to reach the foundation-building level.

Li Zhen activated the 'Earth Escape Technique', and the spiritual power in his body was almost instantly drained.

His whole body was covered in an ochre-colored light shield. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the wall of the cave. The mud and rocks on the wall automatically parted, allowing his hand to reach in.

Then he entered the mud and rocks. The feeling was very magical. The mud and rocks were like lake water, and he was an excited fish in the lake.

This sense of novelty fascinated him so much that he moved underground at an increasingly faster speed.

Of course, no matter how fast you go underground, it can't compare to running at full speed on the ground, just like running and swimming.

Li Zhen walked underground for a while without knowing the direction. He found that the khaki light shield on his body began to dim, which made him wake up suddenly. If the khaki light shield really disappeared, he would be stuck underground.

Although his body was at the second level of physical training, he would not be completely helpless even if he was stuck underground. The worst case scenario was that he could activate his spatial ability and leave, but he did not want to put himself in a mess.

He swam towards the top of his head, and when he jumped from underground to the ground, the last khaki light shield on his body disappeared.

He looked at the environment, found the right direction again, then took off into the air and flew towards Aoki University.

He didn't fly high, the spiritual weapon 'Hundred Flowers Flying Blade' was suspended beside him, and his experience of facing a late-stage third-order monster had changed his state of mind. He had fewer concerns about early- and middle-stage second-order monsters.

This mentality should not be underestimated. With this mentality, when he encountered a powerful existence among the second-stage mid-stage monsters, without using the dragon's power, he might only be able to exert 80% of his combat power.

However, his mentality at this moment was able to bring out his full combat power, and even for an extended period of time.

Many strong people have grown up step by step in this way. In addition to having great strength, a strong person must also have the corresponding mentality.

Li Zhen was flying when a breath of a mid-second stage demon beast approached below him and was sensed by his spiritual creature.

A faint bronze color flashed on his body, which meant that his 'Bronze Body' was in operation. At the same time, his spiritual weapon 'Hundred Flowers Flying Blade' was also ready for battle.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough spiritual power in his body to perform the "Sword Qi Thunder Sound", so he could not use the "Sword Light Differentiation", the strongest power of the spiritual weapon "Hundred Flowers Flying Blade".

But he was not afraid. After a long period of actual combat practice, his flying sword skills had approached the level of long sword skills and were infinitely close to the perfect level.

Possessing perfect swordsmanship, he can definitely deal with enemies who are one level higher than him, not to mention that he also has the ability to protect himself with spatial magic, and the might of the dragon to influence the situation of the battle, so he wants to fight in his heart to see how big the gap is between him and the mid-second stage monster.

A small figure pounced towards Li Zhen in the air, and Li Zhen could see the enemy clearly at this time.

This is a pure white cat, or to be more precise, a 'snow leopard cat'. A mid-second stage 'snow leopard cat' is considered a rare species among monsters.

Because generally speaking, the stronger the monster, the larger its body.

The 'Snow Leopard Cat' is a mutant species, and its pure white fur makes it very consistent with human aesthetics.

'Snow Leopard Cat' is the best pet in the eyes of human monks, especially female monks, and its market value is also extremely high.

Li Zhen was recalling the information about the "Snow Leopard Cat" in his mind, and his movements were not slow at all.

He stimulated the dragon's heart and released a dragon's might.

Long Wei was sending out his might towards the Snow Leopard Cat, and the Snow Leopard Cat was rushing towards him, hitting Long Wei head-on. The Snow Leopard Cat was stiff, and Li Zhen grabbed the fur on the back of its neck.

According to what I learned at Aoki University, the fur on the back of the neck of cat-like monsters is their biggest weakness. However, it is not easy to catch it, and it requires absolute crushing strength.

The 'Snow Leopard Cat' was in a state of confusion, affected by the dragon's might, and had its fur on the back of its neck grabbed.

The dragon's might put it in a state of awe where it couldn't think too much. The fur on the back of its neck was its weak spot, and its body and mind had lost their defenses.

Li Zhen took out the second-level contract and activated it. The contract rune in the second-level contract flew to the top of the Snow Leopard Cat's head and landed on its forehead.

The 'Snow Leopard Cat' did not resist at all. The contract rune entered its soul, and a 'Snow Leopard Cat' pattern appeared on the second-level contract.

Li Zhen released the 'Snow Leopard Cat', and the intelligent 'Snow Leopard Cat' gained freedom, but it was very confused as to why it felt so friendly with the human in front of it.

"Meow!" The 'Snow Leopard Cat' called softly to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen smiled and stretched out his hand, stroking the fur of the 'snow leopard cat'. It felt really comfortable.

The 'snow leopard cat' purred softly, which was its cry of comfort.

Li Zhen put the 'snow leopard cat' on his shoulder. He didn't want to sell the 'snow leopard cat' because it was so cute.

In addition to being cute, the 'Snow Leopard Cat' also has stronger combat power than Li Zhen, making it an excellent helper.

When he returned to the high-level fortress, the students he met couldn't help but look at the 'Snow Leopard Cat'.

"Student, you need a spirit beast bag. It is best not to release spirit beasts in public!" A student union law enforcement monk came over and persuaded Li Zhen.

Only then did Li Zhen understand why he never saw cultivators with spiritual beasts.

"Thank you. I'll go exchange it for a spirit beast bag right away!" He thanked the student union law enforcement monk.

In fact, not releasing spirit animals in public places is not a mandatory rule, but common sense.

What Li Zhen lacks is this kind of common sense. If the rules were written down, he could know them through study.

However, this kind of common sense knowledge can only be acquired through communication with other students, and Li Zhen rarely communicates with other students.

Spirit beast bags were sold in the trading area. He reluctantly paid 20 credits and exchanged them for a spirit beast bag.

The 'Snow Leopard Cat' was somewhat resistant to entering the spirit beast bag, but Li Zhen was its master, so under Li Zhen's command, it still entered the spirit beast bag.

Li Zhen checked the situation of the Snow Leopard Cat in the spirit beast bag. As soon as the Snow Leopard Cat entered the spirit beast bag, it fell into sleep.

He hung the spirit beast bag around his waist, and now he no longer attracted attention.

After returning to Aoki University from the space crack, he flew towards the classroom. When he arrived at the classroom, the morning class had just ended.

"Master Yu, I'm here to make up for the holiday. I didn't attend the class in the morning!" When Li Zhen arrived at the classroom, he saw Master Yu Xinyi preparing to leave, so he stepped forward to explain.

But he knew that as a Jindan Zhenren, even though he taught 300 students, Zhenren Yu Xinyi could definitely know the situation of each and every student clearly.

He couldn't hide the fact that he didn't come to class from Master Yu Xinyi.

"Student Li Zhen, I heard that you performed well in the beast tide battle in the high-level fortress. You should rest for a while. There is a video of the morning class. You can study it when you are free!" Master Yu Xinyi said with a smile.

He was very tolerant towards evil geniuses, not to mention that Li Zhen was the only recognized freshman in the freshman year whose combat power was enough to participate in high-level fortress beast tide battles. Having just faced such a big battle, he did need some time to adjust and adapt.

"If you don't understand anything in the future, just send me a message!" Master Yu Xinyi continued.

He patted Li Zhen on the shoulder before turning and leaving.

Li Zhen checked his attendance record and found no record of leave or absence.
