C6 The Battle for the Demon Core

"First stance: Basic Spear Stance!"

Ye Feng roared furiously. The Dragon Guts Silver Spear in his hand stabbed out violently and penetrated through the void. Then the terrifying spear light pierced right through a tree trunk that was as thick as a basin not far away, leaving behind a fist-sized hole.

In these three days, Ye Feng had cultivated the first basic spear technique to the point of perfection. Although it looked like a simple spear technique, it contained astonishing power.

Looking at the big hole on the tree trunk, Ye Feng's expression froze. Obviously, he had never thought that the first style of the silver lance would be that powerful.

After that, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He began to practice the next style of the spear.

And so it went. Fifteen days passed by in a hurry. Ye Feng had already cultivated the silver lance to the fifth level, and he was quite familiar with it.

This kind of cultivation speed was very fast. Basically, it was one level within three days.

Gradually, Ye Feng became more and more proficient in using the Dragon Guts Silver Spear. He also had some unique insights into the spear technique itself.

As the date of the Tianxuan Mansion recruitment examination was on this day, Ye Feng had already arrived at the outskirts of the Imperial City.

A bright spear light streaked across, piercing through the void!

Under this spear light, a Tier 5 Demonic Beast's skull exploded, and its huge body fell down with a loud bang.

"Now that I have cultivated the silver lance to the fifth level, I can easily defeat a Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage warrior. I can even fight a Seventh Layer of Body Refining Stage person."

Ye Feng gleefully thought to himself, and a satisfied smile emerged on his face.

After putting away the Dragon Guts Silver Spear, a dagger appeared in Ye Feng's hand, and he started to remove the demonic core of the Demonic Beast.

The demonic core was the essence within the Demonic Beast's body, and it contained a shocking amount of energy. It was an excellent material for refining medicinal pills.

Directly consuming it could also provide great nourishment, increasing the Cultivation Level.

A Tier 5 Demonic Beast's demonic core was relatively precious. If it was auctioned off on the market, it could be sold for an extravagant price.

Ye Feng would not miss this opportunity. In a moment, a fist-sized milky white ball appeared in his palm. An elemental energy was emitting a faint glow on the surface of the ball. It was the Demonic Beast's demonic core.

"There are people over there. I'll go over and take a look."

At this moment, two figures walked out from not far away. One was a man and the other was a woman.

The man was handsome, his clothes were embroidered, and his body exuded a noble aura. The female was beautiful, elegant, and refined, and her beauty was not inferior to Nangong Lingshuang's. Hers was a rare type of beauty.

The two of them came to Ye Feng's side. The female was the first to smile at Ye Feng and said. "You want to go to Imperial City?"

The female's voice was pleasant to the ear and sounded very gentle.

"Yes. Is there anything you need?"

Ye Feng said.

"The two of us met each other on our way to Imperial City. My name is Song Xinling, and he is Lee Fei."

The female smiled. Her smile was very charming.

"My name is Ye Feng."

Ye Feng also introduced himself.

"You are able to kill a Rank 5 Demonic Beast. Ye Feng, your strength is not bad. Why don't the three of us travel together? Along the way, we can take care of each other. After killing the Demonic Beast, we will divide the ingredients equally. What do you think?"

Song Xinling sent an invitation to Ye Feng, as if she was very interested in Ye Feng's strength.

"What's so great about killing a Rank 5 Demonic Beast? I can easily do it."

Before Ye Feng could respond to Song Xinling, Lee Fei's voice came from the side. That voice was arrogant. Immediately, Lee Fei looked at Ye Feng with disdain. His jaw was slightly raised, as if he didn't think much of Ye Feng.

"Don't mind him. Lee Fei's Cultivation Level has reached the peak of Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage, and his strength is very strong. Therefore, his words are sharper."

Song Xinling quickly explained with an apologetic smile.

"En."

Ye Feng nodded slightly at Song Xinling, then cupped his hands and said, "Anyway, I prefer to be alone, so I won't go with you two."

Song Xinling's beautiful eyes dulled with disappointment when she heard Ye Feng's words.

"What's so great about a person from a small place in the mountains? Does he really think so highly of himself? Miss Song, ignore him. Let's go!"

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Lee Fei's mocking words were heard once again.

Without waiting for Song Xinling's reaction, Lee Fei pulled her arm to depart.

"He is trash. Sooner or later, he will be fed to the demon beasts here in Emerald Mountain Range."

Lee Fei said as they left.

Ye Feng shook his head with a cold smile. Looking at Lee Fei's attire, he knew that Lee Fei was a disciple of an aristocratic family. Just like Hsiao Jie, Lee Fei was arrogant because of his family's wealth. Ye Feng did not want to lower himself to his level.

Two days later, Ye Feng was still travelling in Emerald Mountain Range. During this period of time, he had covered a lot of distance and was getting closer and closer to Imperial City.

Suddenly, a ferocious Beast Roar sounded behind Ye Feng. Ye Feng raised his brow and turned around.

Not far away, a giant bear appeared. Its enormous muscles were filled with alarming strength.

The giant bear opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar. A rolling demonic energy was unleashed from its mouth. The power was terrifying.

"Rank 6 Demonic Beast!"

Ye Feng's eyes narrowed. A Rank 6 Demonic Beast was equivalent to a Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage Martial Cultivator, and it was extremely powerful.

Furthermore, a Demonic Beast has an advantage in both attack and defense, and it was superior to a human Martial Cultivator in both aspects.

Under the same cultivation level, the Demonic Beast could easily crush a human Martial Cultivator.

As for Ye Feng, his Cultivation Level was only at the Fifth Layer of Body Refining Stage. Facing this tier 6 giant bear, he appeared to be at a complete disadvantage.

"Rank 6 Demonic Beast, let's see how strong you are."

Ye Feng's eyes sparkled with anticipation. The Dragon Guts Silver Spear in his hand kept buzzing, as if it couldn't wait to strike.

The giant bear let out a furious roar and pounced towards Ye Feng. Its huge bear paw seemed to fall from the sky.

Ye Feng's body flashed and barely dodged its palm.

"Basic Spear Style!"

Ye Feng shouted, thrusting out his plain spear with all his might. The spear light seemed to be able to pierce through everything.

With a 'poof' sound, the tip of the spear stabbed into the giant bear's calf with lightning speed. Blood gushed out like a fountain!

The giant bear roared furiously. Its huge eyes filled with blood-red rage, and the pain that came from its leg made the giant bear even more frightening. Its violent palm power kept trying to smash Ye Feng's body. The power was terrifying.

Ye Feng moved agilely, dodging the attacks. The giant bear's paws were overbearing, and they almost hit Ye Feng's body a few times. Although Ye Feng was able to evade the attacks, a few bloody marks still appeared on his body.

Ye Feng's expression was fiercely engrossed. The Rank 6 Demonic Beast was indeed a difficult adversary to deal with. If not for the fact that he had already cultivated the silver gun to the fifth level and the Divine Dragon Battle Spirit's enhancement to his body, Ye Feng might really have died in the hands of this Tier 6 giant bear today.

The giant bear's attacks were continuous, but as time passed, the energy consumption was huge, and the giant bear showed signs of being unable to sustain itself.

Gradually, the giant bear's disadvantage in speed was revealed, and it was unable to keep up with Ye Feng's pace.

"Flood Dragon into the Sea!"

Ye Feng shouted triumphantly. The terrifying spear light struck out with lightning speed. The bear's gigantic body couldn't evade Ye Feng's offensive maneuvers.

Its other leg was also pierced through, and blood gushed out crazily.

The giant bear roared. The huge claw was filled with renewed energy, and it smashed towards Ye Feng's body.

This strike could easily take the life of a Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage strong person.

A sharp light flashed across Ye Feng's eyes. In a flash, he took a step forward and arrived in front of the giant bear.

The giant bear's eyes were filled with fear since it never expected that this human would be so powerful. It let out a defiant roar, as if it did not want to continue fighting anymore. Then the giant bear turned around and tried to leave.

"Don't run!"

How could Ye Feng give the giant beast the chance to escape?

"Long Spear Moving like a Dragon!"

Ye Feng roared furiously. He leaped high into the air and unleashed a brilliant spear light. The Long Spear Moving Like A Dragon was like a hot knife cutting through butter.

This spear was the fourth style of the silver lance, and its power was huge.

The spear light seemed to have turned into a phantom of the Giant Dragon, and it was filled with terrifying Dragon's Breaths.

The giant bear's face was filled with fear, and it tried to escape.

However, Ye Feng's silver lance was extremely sharp. Before the giant bear could make a move, the Giant Dragon spear light had already pierced through the space between its brows.

The giant bear's huge body fell down with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Ye Feng knew that the Tier 6 giant bear had a very strong medicinal effect as well as a certain detoxification effect. Consuming it directly could increase the strength of a First Order Body Refining Stage Martial Cultivator's Cultivation Level.

When faced with such a strong being's demonic core, Ye Feng naturally wouldn't miss it. He took out the demonic core from the giant bear's corpse and put it away.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a cold voice came from a certain direction. Ye Feng frowned and turned his head to look. He saw Song Xinling and Lee Fei, whom he had met two days ago. The one who spoke was Lee Fei.

"What do you want?"

Ye Feng's eyes turned cold.

"We'll split the demon beast's materials equally. I'll take the demonic core, the rest is yours."

Lee Fei said in a cold and arrogant manner. He was deluding himself with the idea of taking the most valuable demonic cores for himself. He even said that he would divide the demonic cores equally. Who was he fooling?

"Since I killed the Demonic Beast by myself, the materials will naturally belong to me. Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to split the materials equally?"

A cold light flashed across Ye Feng's eyes. This Lee Fei was really overbearing.

"We previously agreed to split the ingredients equally with the demon beast material. Why are you going back on your word now? If that's the case, I will use force!"

A cold smile emerged on Lee Fei's face. The demonic core of the giant bear was very useful and rare. If he could obtain it, he would be able to break through to the peak Seventh Layer of Body Refining Stage with the Cultivation Level. By that, his chances of participating in the Tianxuan Mansion test would increase some more.

"What a joke!"

Ye Feng sneered in disdain. He never thought that Lee Fei would be so arrogant and shameless.

"We have not formed an alliance, so how can we divide it equally?"

Seeing that Ye Feng and Lee Fei were about to have a conflict, Song Xinling's expression became hard. She glared at Lee Fei and said, "Lee Fei, Ye Feng killed the Demonic Beast by himself. You have no right to share it with him."

"I believed you when you said you wanted to form an alliance. The demonic core must belong to me. It is not up to him!"

Lee Fei said with a cold smile, and his eyes flickered with murderous intent. How could he, a peak Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage Cultivation Level, get the better of Ye Feng?

As soon as he stopped speaking, Lee Fei stretched out his hand and grabbed the giant bear's demonic core in Ye Feng's hand.

"Get lost!"

Ye Feng said coldly and struck out with his palm. It was as fast as lightning. Lee Fei did not think that Ye Feng would attack him directly. He could not dodge in time and was hit by Ye Feng's palm power on his shoulder.

He grunted and took two steps back. His face was extremely displeased.

"Trash, you dare to hurt me? Today, I will take your life!"

Lee Fei was furious. He, a peak Sixth Layer of Body Refining Stage Cultivation Level, was struck by a Fifth Layer of Body Refining Stage Trash like Ye Feng. It was a great humiliation to him.

Lee Fei drew his Longsword out of its scabbard. The Sword-light was extremely cold, and he attempted to kill Ye Feng on the spot.

"Lee Fei, stop!"

Song Xinling, who was standing aside, became anxious. Her eyes fell on Ye Feng once again. She hurriedly said, "Ye Feng, you should leave now. Lee Fei is not someone you can fight."

"Hand over the demonic core and I will spare your life!"

Lee Fei said in a ferocious manner. At this moment, he felt superior of the three of them.

"Don't talk nonsense with him. I want to see what qualifications he has to be so presumptuous."

Ye Feng said to Song Xinling as he stared at the arrogant Lee Fei. His eyes were filled with contempt as Lee Fei spoke coldly.

"Since that's the case, then give me your giant bear's demonic core as well as your life!"
