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

The puppet has now lost one of its arms.

The other hand was severely deformed.

The torso has several severely dented areas.

Xiao Yang was getting a little anxious.

At this rate, the puppets will become useless!

Now the puppets are using their shoulders to unleash the Eight Extremes Collapse.

Xiao Yang hesitated for a while before finally making up his mind.

He planned to use 80% of his soul power to deliver a Soul-Chasing Blade to the Blazing Bear.

Only one-tenth of his soul power was reserved as a backup.

After making the decision, he first created a task.

[Mission: Use the Soul-Chasing Blade to assist the puppet in slaying the Blazing Bear. Rewards: Soul-Chasing Blade Proficiency +5, one Tier 4 Magic Core, one Battle Spirit Puppet.]

Looking at the mission rewards, Xiao Yang was quite surprised.

They gave me a five-point proficiency bonus all at once!

Although Xiao Yang could directly gain ten proficiency points by using the Soul Chaser Blade to kill a fourth-tier magical beast on his own.

However, with his current proficiency with the Soul-Chasing Blade and his soul power, he simply cannot kill a fourth-tier magical beast on his own.

He can only serve as a support role.

Therefore, a five-point proficiency bonus is already quite good.

Without hesitation, he directly used eighty percent of his soul power to condense into a huge soul blade.

However, Xiao Yang did not attack immediately, but continued to compress the area.

As Xiao Yang compressed it with all his might, the Soul Blade grew smaller and smaller.

The Soul Blade, originally two meters long, was compressed to a mere one meter.

Xiao Yang has also reached his limit.

Unbeknownst to him, during this process, his proficiency with the Soul Chaser Blade, which was originally at a low level of 3/10, had increased to a low level of 4/10.

I sensed that the Soul Blade had been compressed to its limit.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yang directly controlled the Soul Blade to shoot towards the Blazing Bear.

In just a moment, the Soul Blade pierced through the Blazing Bear's body and struck his soul.

At that moment, the Blazing Bear froze on the spot.

Not only that, the flames that were burning on his body suddenly went out.

"Roar!"

Immediately afterwards, the Blazing Bear let out a painful roar.

Then, he immediately started rolling around on the ground, clutching his head.

"Waaah!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yang was overjoyed.

Ignoring his exhaustion, he ordered the puppet to quickly attack the Blazing Bear.

The Blazing Bear couldn't even sense that the puppet was rapidly attacking it.

It continued to roll on the ground, clutching its head, and let out a few mournful cries.

"Waaah—"

The next moment, the puppet unleashed the Eight Extremes Collapse, ramming its shoulder into the head of the Blazing Bear.

"boom!"

This attack directly slammed the Blazing Bear's head into the ground, creating a huge crater.

The Blazing Bear immediately stopped moving.

Xiao Yang cautiously stepped forward to take a look.

The Blazing Bear is seriously injured and unconscious.

Now I'm exhaling more than I'm inhaling, and half of my face has sunken in.

He was preparing to create a mission to finish off the enemy with the Nine Flame Fist.

Unfortunately, it failed.

It might be because the task was relatively easy.

After all, given the current state of the Blazing Bear, it would likely die soon even if left unattended.

He then simply had the puppet throw a punch at will.

This punch didn't even use any fighting techniques.

This final attack was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

As the punch landed, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

[Mission: Use the Soul-Chasing Blade to assist the puppet in slaying the Blazing Bear. Rewards: Soul-Chasing Blade Proficiency +5, one Tier 4 Magic Core, one Battle Spirit Puppet. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang accepted the reward without hesitation.

The puppet then came to Xiao Yang's side to protect him.

This is the territory of the Blazing Bear, and it's usually safe as no monsters come here.

A wealth of insights about the Soul-Chasing Blade flowed into Xiao Yang's mind.

He quickly digested these insights.

After regaining consciousness, Xiao Yang immediately took out the newly acquired Fighting Spirit Puppet.

This puppet, like the original one, was entirely black.

The two are practically identical.

However, after two fierce battles, the puppet is now in a terrible state.

Xiao Yang picked up the severed arm and came to the puppet.

He didn't know how to repair it, so he could only leave it as is for now.

Chapter 97 The Bear's Den Treasure

Having no other choice, Xiao Yang had to store the severed arm in the system space.

However, at that moment, his soul power was discovered.

The puppet's other arm was severely deformed and partially broken.

At the point of breakage, it began to slowly glue itself back together!

Although this speed is very slow.

At this rate, it will take at least three days to fully bond.

However, it has indeed glued together a little bit!

If it weren't for his powerful soul force, he wouldn't have been able to see it with the naked eye.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yang was overjoyed.

Without hesitation, he aligned the joint of the severed arm with the puppet's shoulder.

Then he tied it up with a rope.

After doing all this, he replaced the fourth-tier magic core, which had only a little energy left, with the new core to make the most of it.

Anyway, use up the energy in this one first, then use the other one.

Xiao Yang didn't put away the other puppet either.

Although I know there shouldn't be any danger inside this cave.

However, he felt it was better to be cautious.

The reason he claimed the reward so quickly was to first obtain a intact puppet to protect himself.

With one intact puppet and one half-crippled puppet beside him, Xiao Yang's sense of security increased dramatically.

He glanced at his system panel and discovered that the Soul Chaser Blade had already reached the minor completion level of 9/10!

In other words, as long as you complete one more proficiency task, you can raise the proficiency of the Soul Chaser Blade to the highest level.

Without hesitation, he immediately created a task.

[Task: Raise the proficiency of the Soul-Chasing Blade to Mastery. Reward: +1 Spirit, +1 Comprehension, one bottle of Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill.]

It was actually a Rejuvenating Pill!

Xiao Yang had also heard of this elixir.

One Rejuvenation Pill is enough to fully restore the soul power of a fourth-grade alchemist!

Although Xiao Yang's soul power is much stronger than that of a fourth-grade alchemist.

However, even one of these would be enough to restore about 30% of his soul power.

The main advantage is the fast recovery speed!

This could save your life in a critical moment!

He planned to find a third-tier magical beast as soon as possible and kill it with the Soul-Chasing Blade.

Alternatively, go and kill nine second-tier magical beasts.

Of course, before that, we need to confirm whether there is a path leading underground.

Xiao Yang arrived at the corpse of the Blazing Bear, opened its head, which was half-dented, and took out the fourth-tier magic core inside.

Next, Xiao Yang sorted and categorized the materials from the Blazing Bear, such as its hide, meat, blood, and beast fire.
