C20 Desperately

Chapter Twenty

After leaving the thatched cottage, Dugu Hong walked up the mountain in a somewhat lonely manner. Step by step, Dugu Hong felt a heaviness he had never felt before. In such a short period of time, how could he have reached the peak of the Refinement Realm? It was hard not to go up to heaven.

The more he thought about it, the heavier his footsteps became. Only when he felt something brush against him did he notice that he had returned to the hut at the top of the hill. At this time, the Eagle was looking at him ingratiatingly. Thus, he put down his thoughts and began to cook.

While Xuanyuan Haotian was eating, he noticed that Dugu Hong was distracted, but he did not say it out loud. There were some things that he had to face himself. After he finished eating, he went back to rest.

After Dugu Hong packed everything up, he started to practice his cultivation. Although he had been persisting in his training during this period of time, he was still forced to do so. Now that he had the motivation, he became more active.

He examined his dantian and realized that less than half of his zhenqi was circulating. He knew that if he reached the peak of the Refinement Realm … His dantian would be filled with Zhen Qi. Thus, he started to circulate his cultivation technique, letting the small amount of true energy in his dantian to flow along his meridians.

Very quickly, a layer of dense true energy covered his surroundings. The Eagle at the side very faithfully stayed there to protect Dugu Hong.

The night passed in the blink of an eye. Following the appearance of the first ray of sunlight. Dugu Hong immediately stood up and rushed into the depths of the forest. He needed to constantly challenge his limits, and only then would he be able to meet the minimum requirements within two months.

Then, he saw the big tree, which was held by five to six people, being continuously pushed down. In just half a day, there were already several dozen of them. Dugu Hong took off all the clothes on his upper body, and carried the trees that were ten or a hundred times bigger than him on his bare back as he rushed towards the top of the mountain.

It was the charge! Not go!

The veins on his forehead were bulging, and the muscles all over his body were taut. Sweat flowed profusely, and his eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, a trickle of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. However, he didn't care about that.

For another half a day, he kept dashing forward. It wasn't until it was dark that he finally carried the dozens of trees to the top of the mountain. He was exhausted. However, he did not rest. Instead, he continued to sit down and meditate.

He forcefully suppressed the fatigue in his entire body and circulated the almost depleted true energy in his dantian to circulate within the meridians in his entire body. After one round of circulation, the zhenqi in his dantian recovered. After another cycle, the amount of true qi in his dantian increased by a quarter.

This was several times more than normal! Dugu Hong didn't have time to be happy, because he was still a long way from his goal. That night, he circulated his Qi four times. The true energy within his dantian had also been halved. This was the great perfection of the body cultivation realm. Just a little bit more and he would be able to successfully advance to the Large Success Stage.

At this moment, dawn had arrived. He rushed out again. He carried the big tree up the mountain to Liu Xu's house. Then he began to chop at the tree with his hand, not with a machete. Very quickly, his surroundings became a small mountain of firewood. However, he still didn't have any plans to stop.

"Have some!" Suddenly, a crisp sound was heard from a crack in the hill. Dugu Hong then looked up and found Liu Xu standing there holding a big pot of Demonic Beast's meat with a pained expression.

He was really hungry. Taking it over, he did not hold back and easily finished off the huge pot of Demonic Beast meat. Go back to work.

In the afternoon, he once again appeared in the forest. This time, he did not chop down trees, but rushed to the territory of the level seven Demonic Beast — Silver Wind Wolf.

He wants to compete with the Silver Wind Wolf in speed! One had to know that Silver Wind Wolf were wind attributed Demonic Beast. This thing's body was tens of times faster than an ordinary wolf, but its speed was definitely not in direct proportion to its body. On the contrary, it was extremely fast.

At this moment, he was already confronting the Silver Wind Wolf. Looking at the green glowing eyes, Dugu Hong felt goosebumps all over his body. However, he had already made a promise. As a man, he had to pay. Thus, he moved.

He directed the few remaining True Qi to rush up. At this moment, his palm had already been enveloped by true energy and had directly turned into a long blade. A long blade made of condensed true energy. And his speed was incomparably fast.

When the Silver Wind Wolf facing Dugu Hong rushed over like an ant, its eyes were filled with contempt. Or rather, they were not even looking at him with disdain. If it was a human, it would definitely submit to the Eagle. To think that such a weak human could actually defeat and even subdue such a powerful Eagle. It would never have thought of that.

Dugu Hong didn't think of anything else at the moment. He needed to mobilize his Innate Qi to fight the Silver Wind Wolf in front of him. He needed the Life and Death Trials.

Seeing him rush to the front of the Silver Wind Wolf, Su Yun brandished his blade and descended. He wanted to kill the Silver Wind Wolf. The Silver Wind Wolf across from him moved, Wind Blade s shooting out from its mouth.

With a 'dang' sound, the Wind Blade clashed with the zhen qi blade. The longblade formed from true energy instantly shattered. Dugu Hong was also knocked far away and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was simply not a battle of the same level. The Silver Wind Wolf looked at Dugu Hong who was lying down and turned to leave. This made Dugu Hong very angry, so he forced himself to stand up from the ground. He once again rushed towards the Silver Wind Wolf.

This time, he fell even further. He could feel that his internal organs were no longer his own. There was not a single part of his body that was not in pain. However, he knew that he couldn't be discouraged at this time. Thus, he stood up once again.

Again and again he was hit, again and again. Each injury was worse than the last. However, he did not fall. Instead, he stood up again and again and rushed forward. It had become a habit over time.

The wuwu Silver Wind Wolf finally became angry. It roared towards the sky, then released tens of Wind Blade s in a row, which headed straight for Dugu Hong. It looked like it didn't want to continue playing. This stubborn little guy made it very angry, and the consequences were very serious. It wanted to kill this damned little fellow.

He saw the dozens of Wind Blade s coming straight at him. Dugu Hong knew that he had struck it rich this time. However, whether it was a blessing or a curse, a curse could not be avoided. He stood up bravely, his eyes staring at the trajectory of the Wind Blade. He stood there quietly, a long blade made of Zhen Qi condensing in his hand. Although his true qi was already very thin.

He circulated his body refining technique, his body constantly flashing with golden light. His aura seemed to have risen to a whole new level. Of course, he didn't have time to check on the changes in his body now.

At this moment, the true qi in his dantian was more than half. In other words, he was already at the large success stage of the Refinement Realm.

Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang … The sounds continued to come from everywhere, the blade in Dugu Hong's hand had holes on it. However, the long blade hadn't shattered this time. This might have something to do with his successful advancement.

Puff! A stream of blood spurted out.
