Chapter 105: The First Step of Immortal Cultivation! One Person Breaks Through the Encirclent!
Looking at the new trait, Ye Ze suddenly felt as though a veil had been lifted from his eyes.
Using spiritual energy in place of mana!
Was this what it truly ant to take the first step into immortal cultivation?
Ye Ze had only ever seen spiritual energy in certain fantasy novels. It was basically the unique “mana pool” of cultivators.
So the reason the Fox Immortal’s immortal arts had consud so much before was that using mana to drive immortal arts was simply unsuitable. It was like making a small horse pull a heavy cart.
Spiritual energy, on the other hand, was what truly suited the use of immortal arts!
The trait [Boundless Dao Arts] had rely allowed the Fox Immortal to master immortal arts, but it had not provided the other corresponding abilities...And now, the appearance of spiritual energy might solve one of the Fox Immortal’s greatest problems!
Once Ye Ze understood that, he imdiately bestowed the trait upon the Fox Immortal to test the result.
【Trait ‘Refining Essence into Qi’ bestowed successfully!】
【Summoned Beast - Fox Immortal: Mana attribute changed to → Spiritual Energy!】
Mana was twenty tis the Spirit attribute, so the Fox Immortal had originally possessed a maximum of 17,820 mana.
After it converted into Spiritual Energy, the label on the status panel changed from blue to purple. Although the upper limit had not changed, Ye Ze could clearly sense that the Fox Immortal’s aura had grown stronger.
“Try throwing out an immortal art,” Ye Ze said tentatively.
The Fox Immortal looked excited, feeling an unprecedented power surging through her body.
Then Frozen Seal appeared once again, freezing the four corpses nearby all over again...
“It only consud one-thirtieth of my Spiritual Energy!”
“And the effect is thirty percent stronger than before!”
Seeing such a dramatic improvent, Ye Ze felt thoroughly pleased.
The Fox Immortal’s sustained combat ability was now more than ten tis greater than before!
Perhaps this was the true first step of immortal cultivation...
Ye Ze could not help sighing inwardly.
But at that very mont—
Yi Xing, who had just gone outside to keep watch, suddenly looked tense.
“This is bad. It looks like quite a few people are surrounding us!”
Liu Anran and Zhou Qi both frowned. “How did they get here so quickly!?”
“The exchange point is marked on the map. If they had a plan in place, they would find their way here fast!”
Ye Ze had already noticed the enemy as well.
Not long after the Secret Realm had opened, he had released a hundred squirrel Shadow Clones and kept them sweeping the surrounding area like a carpet search.
And now, that gave him a clear sense of everything nearby...
Within a stretch of forest not far away, there was a five-man squad from the Lionheart Kingdom.
“Stick to the plan. Gather first!”
As they spoke, they dashed rapidly across a patch of dark green grass.
Beside a giant tree they passed, a patch of shadow on the ground stood up and took the form of a squirrel, silently watching them run off into the distance.
The sa scene was unfolding in many places in all directions.
The mont the exchange point opened, all the enemy Class Users from the foreign nations surged toward it. What had begun as their attempt to assemble their forces had instead left Ye Ze and the others surrounded inside the exchange point.
Nearly twenty enemy Class Users had already arrived around the cabin in the woods!
“Hahaha! Who would have thought everyone inside would be Chinese!”
“Looks like they killed Bell...”
“Then let’s slaughter them all and let those Chinese outside know the price of offending us!”
Voices from the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire rang out from every direction!
The expressions of Yi Xing and Zhou Qi turned ugly... There were simply too many enemies!
Even though they had already killed many of them, the ratio in numbers was still several tis apart!
And worse still, they were trapped inside the exchange point cabin, surrounded on all sides and at a disadvantage in terrain as well.
“Should we hurry and teleport away?”
Zhou Qi turned to Liu Anran as she asked, and Liu Anran in turn looked toward Ye Ze...
Ye Ze remained calm. “Not yet.”
The mont he finished speaking, another top-tier elite of the Lionheart Kingdom army arrived outside.
He was called Os, and when he looked toward the exchange point cabin, his tone was full of excitent.
“I didn’t expect the last four Chinese to all be here!”
“Looks like we can wipe them out in one net!”
Those words made Ye Ze and the others’ hearts sink.
Yi Xing, the Sword Saint, angrily shouted outward, “What do you an by that!? Where are the other two from China?”
That elite soldier of the Kingdom army, Os, waved the great blade in his hand. The blade had been soaked red with blood, and blood was still dripping from it...
He bared his teeth in a mocking grin. “Look. They’re right here!”
“You bastard!” Yi Xing ground his teeth.
Only six people from China had entered the Secret Realm. Yi Xing and Zhou Qi had been lucky enough to run into Ye Ze.
But the other two had not been so fortunate.
After all, the enemy nations had sent in a full thirty-four people... The probability of encountering enemies was far higher than the probability of encountering allies.
Ye Ze also understood perfectly well that people were bound to die on the battlefield.
And not only in wars against the Fiends. Every year, on the International Battlefield, the number of people who died fighting over dungeons, Secret Realms, and resources was by no ans small.
In fact, there might be even more in the future...But Yi Xing could not endure it any longer. He yanked open the exchange point door and slashed out a fierce crescent-shaped sword aura toward the enemy!
Yet in the next instant, it was shattered by a barrage of spells, artillery fire, and waves of energy that blotted out the sky, after which the exchange point cabin itself was engulfed.
If Yi Xing had not retreated quickly enough, that flood of ranged attacks would have been enough to kill him four or five tis over.
“Hahaha! Let’s see how long you can keep hiding in your shell!”
That elite soldier of the Lionheart Kingdom, Os, laughed loudly. “Keep going!”
The firepower of nearly twenty people seed determined to trap the four of them to death inside the exchange point.
But Ye Ze said with certainty, “Don’t worry. They won’t have died for nothing.”
At the sa ti, he controlled his hundred-plus squirrel Shadow Clones to form a counter-encirclent outside the enemy ring!
And at his command, the Fox Immortal directly broke through from the front!
“You still dare co out!?” Os, the leader on the enemy side, grinned viciously.
Another concentrated volley followed, with spells, artillery fire, and waves of energy hurtling toward her...
But this ti, the Fox Immortal lifted one hand, and every ranged attack was blocked a short distance in front of her by a telekinetic barrier.
“What!?!”
Everyone froze for a mont, unable to believe their eyes.
Waving a hand and blocking the attacks of nearly twenty people—was that sothing a fourth-rank could do?
Then, imdiately after that, ca [Immortal Art - Heavenly Thunder]!
The Fox Immortal could freely manipulate her spells, and she transford Heavenly Thunder into a thunder dragon coiling with blinding arcs of electricity!
The thunder dragon roared and rampaged wildly, pouncing rcilessly toward the enemy formation.
“Shit! Opening with your ultimate move!?”
The Class Users from both the Lionheart Kingdom and the Freedom Empire instantly used every thod they had to block it!
After all, there were nearly twenty of them, and working together, they barely managed to withstand that one thunder dragon.
“Now that your big move is gone, let’s see how you keep resisting!”
“Attack—”
Before he could finish speaking, many of the people present suddenly shuddered from head to toe.
“!!!???”
The Fox Immortal’s six tails floated behind her.
And behind her, thunder dragons just like the one from before appeared once more.
Six of them!
【Six Tails】 【Immortal Art - Heavenly Thunder】, six charged casts released in succession!
They had only barely blocked that first bolt of Heavenly Thunder...
So what were they supposed to do about the next six?
At that sight, the nearly twenty Class Users from the two nations felt their scalps go numb and their minds go blank.
Especially Os, the elite soldier leading the Kingdom forces... His breath caught, and his whole body turned ice-cold as an unprecedented sense of danger welled up within him!
Why was this Chinese Class User so much stronger than the ones they had encountered before!?
Weren’t they all supposed to be fourth-rank?
This ti, the Fox Immortal’s target was clear. All six thunder dragons concentrated their attacks on Os.
That aura of extre danger crashed toward him. Os was just about to raise his blade to defend himself, but the great sword in his hand was instantly shattered into scrap by the thunder!
The lightning swept over him like a raging torrent.
Os shrieked in agony inside the storm of lightning, and in the end, he was reduced to countless charred fragnts.
...
Outside the Secret Realm.
The mont the Chinese saw the two dead compatriots being teleported out, every one of them sighed inwardly...
“Two promising seedlings who might have reached the fifth rank, gone just like that.”
“So sothing finally happened in the end...”
Although Wu Ming had reminded himself over and over again, the mont he truly saw it, he still felt a sharp pang of grief.
Seeing that, Blood King Dracula finally laughed again. “Now that’s more like it!”
“This is the kind of record we ought to have!” Knight King Arthur let out a sigh of relief.
But the mont the two of them finished speaking, the entrance to the Secret Realm stirred again.
This ti, it was two frozen corpses from the Lionheart Kingdom.
Dracula said pleasantly, “A two-for-two trade. Acceptable...”
But before long, five more corpses were teleported out...
Dracula’s brows furrowed.
Because among those five was one of the Lionheart Kingdom’s top three strongest!
And once again, all their equipnt had been stripped clean!
Just as they were about to speak... four more corpses were teleported out.
And imdiately after that, another corpse appeared—Os’s.
At that mont, Dracula and Arthur could finally no longer keep their expressions under control!
“How high a price did we have to pay just to kill two Chinese!?”
