Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

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

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

After looking around and finding no trace of Xiao Yang or the puppet, the Blazing Bear could only vent its frustration by pounding on 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 him, 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 moment was extremely dangerous.

Every injury has the potential to be fatal.

It's not just the danger posed by the injury, but also the danger posed by other creatures.

……

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 party 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 cultivate the Soul Nurturing Technique to restore his soul power.

……

Time passed quickly, and Xiao Yang recovered.

He discovered that after acquiring the rudimentary soul talent, his soul power recovery speed increased significantly.

Not only that, even the difficulty of the Soul Nourishing Technique proficiency quest has been reduced by 10%.

Originally, it was required to cultivate the Soul-Nourishing Technique for three days to complete one proficiency task.

Now, it only takes 65 hours.

After his soul was restored, Xiao Yang immediately felt much more energetic.

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

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

After consuming a drop of Foundation Establishment Elixir, Xiao Yang immediately began cultivating.

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

However, he continued his training.

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

As time went by, the liquid battle qi 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 immediately 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天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) with all his might.

A white, transparent gauze robe 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 through.

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

The surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) instantly flowed into Xiao Yang's body, traveling along his meridians to his dantian.

With the aid of the Battle Qi Cyclone, this energy of heaven and earth was transformed into drops of liquid battle qi.

At this moment, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

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

Xiao Yang accepted the reward without hesitation.

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 while he was in the small valley.

After the breakthrough, he also took several Snow Kiss Pills.

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

However, whenever he was cultivating in the cave, he would expend 50% of his battle qi to accelerate the ripening of the Snow Kiss Grass and consume it directly.

That's why they were able to break through so quickly.

All I can say is that the level of the Calamity 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 dug out on the spot was too small to accommodate both him and the puppet.

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

As for the magic core that was about to run out of energy, he wouldn't waste it.

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

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

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

Why not take advantage of the injured Blazing Bear to attack it again, or wait until it recovers?

Fourth-tier magical beasts recover from injuries very quickly.

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

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

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 trespassed into its territory!

Suddenly, the Blazing Bear burst into flames.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yang's expression also became somewhat solemn.

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

This is the ultimate move that the Blazing Bear relies on 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, Blazing Bear will have a three-day period of weakness.

Generally speaking, Blazing Bear rarely uses such desperate secret techniques.

After all, the three-day period of weakness can be fatal.

Some stronger third-tier magical beasts might be able to kill him when he is weakened.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang 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 immediately entangled the puppet.

In this state, the Blazing Bear is also 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.
