Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

The fourth-order demonic core inside the puppet's body is almost out of energy.

Xiao Yang himself lost more than 60% of his soul power.

He dared not exhaust his soul power in this dangerous place.

Unlike battle qi, depleted soul power is not easy to replenish.

He could only consume herbs that enhanced his soul power.

That's a huge waste.

He was prepared to leave first.

In any case, this Blazing Bear is unlikely to recover from its injuries in a short period of time.

Xiao Yang could have gone back to recover his soul power first, replaced the puppet with a fourth-tier magic core, and then come back.

After making his decision, he unleashed the Soul-Chasing Blade at the Blazing Bear once more.

"Roar!"

The Blazing Bear let out a painful roar.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and took the opportunity to have the puppet retreat.

With a thought, he stored the puppet in the system space and then used his Purple Cloud Wings to quickly fly out of the cave.

By the time the Blazing Bear realized what was happening, Xiao Yang and the puppet had already vanished.

"Roar!"

"Boom!"

The Blazing Bear angrily struck the rock wall beside it.

A hole suddenly appeared in the rock wall.

It quickly ran out of the cave.

However, Xiao Yang was nowhere to be seen around at this moment.

With the Purple Cloud Wings, Xiao Yang's speed is extremely fast.

Looking around but not finding any trace of Xiao Yang or the puppet, Blazing Bear could only vent its frustration by pounding the surrounding trees.

It never expected that while it was sleeping peacefully at home, a human would come in with a lump of iron and beat it up.

Then, unable to defeat themselves, they simply ran away.

After smashing down more than a dozen trees, the blazing bear with bloodshot eyes returned to its den.

As a wild magical beast, he knew that this was a very dangerous time.

Every injury could be fatal.

It's not just the injuries that pose a danger; other creatures are even more dangerous.

……

As soon as Xiao Yang left the cave, he flew directly into the distance.

He wasn't afraid that the Blazing Bear would catch up with him.

If he hadn't been afraid that the Blazing Bear would entangle the puppet, he wouldn't have needed to deliver a Soul-Chasing Blade to it before leaving.

After all, the Blazing Bear's weakness is that it's too slow.

With Xiao Yang's flying speed, the other side simply couldn't catch up.

Soon, Xiao Yang used the Purple Cloud Wings to circle around and arrived at the other side of the mountain.

He found a relatively secluded spot and began digging a hole using earth-attribute fighting spirit.

He only dug a small hole, one meter deep, big enough for one person to fit through.

Then, Xiao Yang sealed the cave entrance with rocks and mud.

Before sealing it off, he also sprinkled odor-repelling powder and animal-repelling powder in front of the cave.

Then, Xiao Yang began to practice the Soul Nurturing Technique to restore his soul power.

……

Time passed, and soon Xiao Yang recovered.

He discovered that after acquiring the initial level of soul talent, the speed at which his soul power recovered increased significantly.

Not only that, but the difficulty of the proficiency quest for the Soul-Nourishing Technique has also been reduced by 10%.

Originally, it was required to practice the Soul Nurturing Technique for three days to complete a proficiency level task.

Now, it only takes 65 hours.

After recovering his spirit, Xiao Yang immediately felt much more energetic.

Instead of going out, he began to regain his fighting spirit.

He had been using the Purple Cloud Wings, which had consumed a lot of his fighting spirit.

After taking a drop of Foundation Building Elixir, Xiao Yang immediately began cultivating.

As time went by, Xiao Yang's fighting spirit quickly returned.

However, he continues to cultivate.

Since he had the time, he didn't want to waste a single drop of the Foundation Building Elixir.

As time went by, the liquid fighting spirit within Xiao Yang's body suddenly reached a bottleneck.

He could feel that this bottleneck was as thin as paper, easily broken with a single poke.

Xiao Yang, of course, knew what was going on.

Without hesitation, he created a task.

[Mission: Break through to the Three-Star Battle Master level. Reward: Constitution +2, two bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir.]

After setting up the mission, he immediately began to absorb the surrounding energy of heaven and earth with all his might.

A white, transparent gauze garment appeared on his body.

His speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth suddenly increased several times.

In just a moment, that invisible bottleneck was broken.

The fighting spirit vortex within his dantian suddenly emitted a powerful suction force.

The surrounding energy of heaven and earth instantly flowed into Xiao Yang's body, traveling along his meridians to his dantian.

With the aid of the Dou Qi vortex, these energies of heaven and earth were transformed into drops of liquid Dou Qi.

At this moment, a system notification sound also came from Xiao Yang's mind.

[Quest: Break through to 3-star Dou Shi. Reward: Constitution +2, two bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and immediately accepted the reward.

The next moment, his physique instantly reached 53.

Two more bottles of Foundation Building Elixir appeared in the system space.

He had considered the possibility of making a breakthrough.

He broke through to the second-star Dou Shi level when he was in the small valley.

After the breakthrough, he also took a few Snow Kiss Pills.

During the few days he was away, he did not take the Snow Kiss Pill.

However, whenever he is cultivating in the cave, he will use 50% of his fighting spirit to accelerate the ripening of the Snow Kiss Grass and consume it directly.

That's why they were able to make breakthroughs so quickly.

All I can say is that the level of the Evil Toxin is far too high.

Chapter 96 The violent flame bear

After receiving the reward, Xiao Yang walked out of the cave and took out the Fighting Spirit Puppet.

The cave he carved out on the spot was too small to accommodate both him and the puppet.

After taking out the dim, almost depleted fourth-order magic core, Xiao Yang placed a new, intact fourth-order magic core inside.

As for the magic core that was about to run out of energy, he would not waste it.

He will wait until after this battle to install it on the puppet, allowing the puppet to slowly repair its body using the energy inside.

As for the puppet's deformed body, Xiao Yang is unable to repair it immediately.

He doesn't know how to make or repair puppets.

Why not take advantage of the Blazing Bear's injury now and attack it again? Are we going to wait until it recovers?

Fourth-order monsters heal quite quickly.

However, in such a short time, the opponent's internal fighting spirit should not have recovered yet.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang spread his Purple Cloud Wings and flew towards the cave where the Blazing Bear was.

Zi Yunyi was incredibly fast; in just a few minutes, he saw the cave again.

Without hesitation, he took out the puppet and ordered it to enter the cave to attack the Blazing Bear.

This time, the puppet went a full two or three hundred meters deep before being discovered by the Blazing Bear.

Xiao Yang became even more certain that this cave was very likely a passage leading underground.

"Roar!"

Sensing the familiar aura, the Blazing Bear let out an angry roar and charged toward the puppet with bloodshot eyes.

This time, it is determined to kill these two humans and the iron lump that have invaded its territory!

Suddenly, the Blazing Bear burst into flames.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang's expression also became somewhat serious.

He knew this meant Blazing Bear was going to fight desperately.

This is the Blazing Bear's signature move for survival—Rage.

After the Blazing Bear uses this move, both the power and strength of the flames will be enhanced.

However, it can only last for a short period of time.

After this state, the Blazing Bear will have a three-day period of weakness.

Generally speaking, Blazing Bear rarely uses this desperate method.

After all, these three days of weakness are extremely dangerous.

Some stronger Tier 3 monsters might be able to kill him when he is weakened.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and immediately ordered the puppet to dodge with all its might.

The Blazing Bear's state can only last for a maximum of half an hour.

Just drag it over.

Xiao Yang originally wanted to retreat with the puppets first.

However, the Blazing Bear directly entangled the puppet.

Even in this state, the Blazing Bear is quite fast.

It's quite difficult for the puppet to escape.

Xiao Yang also tried using the Soul-Chasing Blade once.

However, the Blazing Bear was already on the verge of losing its mind.

The Soul-Chasing Blade was somewhat effective against it, but not much.

As time went on, the puppet's condition deteriorated.

It was already somewhat damaged after one battle.
