The most significant change in the Attribute Panel is still lifespan, which has increased by two years, reaching 64 years old.
It can be imagined that as the realm is broken through, the trend of lifespan increase will not stop.
The materials needed for the next stage of the Breathing Technique are called Nirvana Divine Flower, which Lou Yi has never heard of.
The short-term promotion of the Breathing Technique is difficult, so the focus of strength improvement should return to talent and Axe Skill.
Talent is prioritized over Axe Skill, as the required materials are complete and the energy demand is also less.
Of course, the current Breathing Technique is already sufficient.
After breaking through to Two Blood Warrior, the speed of the Breathing Technique's elevation in realm remains unchanged, still twenty points a day.
This means that he will reach Three Blood in a month's time.
For the vast majority of martial artists, Minor Circulation is a hurdle, and breaking through it will definitely lead to a significant leap in strength.
Lou Yi is very much looking forward to it.
...
On Qixia Mountain.
"Oh, it's so hot, so hot." Shi Qingde, with fair skin, fanned himself with his hand and complained, "I've been looking for Spirit Monsters here every day, I haven't bathed for so long, I'm about to become a wild man."
"Better accumulate some contributions before the beast tide arises." The man with the little braids, Yan Ze, couldn't help but purse his lips, "When the beast tide truly breaks out, we'll all have to return, and who knows how many years it will be until next time."
"Indeed, seize this opportunity to rack up contributions, and it will save many years of detours." Jiang Chenyu also sighed.
Martial artist cultivation is not easy; whether it's Purifying God Incense, Qi Blood Pills, Spirit Monster Jerky, or advanced weaponry, all require a large amount of silver coins, thus the saying "poor in literature, rich in martial arts".
As long as the contributions are sufficient, one can exchange them at the Beast Hunting Bureau for a large number of scarce resources at low prices.
This is also the main reason why a group of martial artists willingly work for the City Lord's Mansion, hunting down Spirit Monsters.
Lou Yi walked alongside Shi Caifeng.
The two of them leaped between the trees constantly, ten times more agile than the most nimble monkey, scanning the surroundings to see if there were any new Spirit Monsters.
Perhaps the hunting has been too intense these days.
There were significantly fewer Spirit Monsters on the outskirts of the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range these past two days, making encounters rare.
"Roar!"
A dreadful roar suddenly emanated from deep within the mountains, causing both their expressions to change.
"It could be the Beast King, not far from us." Shi Caifeng frowned and glanced at Lou Yi.
Lou Yi pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's head back first."
Although he wanted to gain energy, there was no need to confront the Beast King head-on.
That was a terrifying Spirit Monster comparable to a Martial Artist level.
The squad members gathered, preparing to descend the mountain.
"Ah, I can finally find a place to bathe." Shi Qingde clapped his hands in delight.
On the way down the mountain.
Suddenly, Lou Yi's brows furrowed as he glanced eastward.
A few breaths later, Shi Caifeng also turned her head to look.
A figure suddenly shot out from within the dense rustling leaves a few hundred steps away.
Their long hair fluttered, with a strikingly beautiful face, a red form-fitting dress, and an impressively ample chest at the front.
However, the clothing was quite damaged, stained with blood, and the expression was one of panic.
Seeing Lou Yi and the others, a gleam of hope appeared in their eyes, as if grabbing hold of a lifeline.
"Save me!" she shouted.
"Hong Luan?" Lou Yi recognized the woman.
She was the receptionist when he went to the Beast Hunting Bureau to receive a mission; now it seemed she was being hunted down.
"Howl!"
Further away, a terrifying call, as if etched into the soul, resounded, causing everyone's faces to turn pale.
Wasn't this the Beast King they had just heard?
"Hurry, everyone disperse!" Lou Yi's expression also changed, reminding his teammates.
"Get away, don't come over!" Shi Caifeng shouted angrily at Hong Luan, even revealing her weapon, the Silver Hooks.
But the other firmly bit her lips, yet still insisted on rushing towards Lou Yi and the others.
'Bang!'
The booming sound of a heavy object hitting the ground arose, as a massive black shadow traveled through the forest and revealed itself in the clearing.
This was a giant wolf, over two zhang long, standing over one zhang tall.
Its body was covered in thick, long red fur, its tail like a steel whip constantly lashing, occasionally producing 'cracking' sounds as it cut through the air.
The most horrifying aspect was that it had two heads!
One large and one small, four cruel and cunning blood-red eyes simultaneously looked at everyone, sending chills down their spines.
"It's a Wolf Demon!" Yan Ze exclaimed in shock, fear showing on his face.
Though they often mentioned Spirit Monsters, spirits and monsters are two completely different things.
Spirits are just slightly larger and more intelligent versions of their kind.
But monsters are entirely different; their appearance has already undergone mutation, with species attributes likely changed, often possessing some peculiar abilities, making them far more terrifying than spirits!
"Howl!"
The Two-headed Wolf Demon suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky.
Under the powerful sound wave, the dense branches and leaves above frantically dispersed to the sides, revealing the full moon in the sky.
The white moonlight bathed its body, making it appear even more mysterious and cruel.
"Run away!"
The members of Cai Feng Squad had no mood for appreciation, desperately fleeing in all directions.
Yet the Wolf Demon, seeing these humans show no reverence, had eyes filled with a fierce killing intent.
A light leap carried it a distance of several dozen zhang.
Its targeted prey was clearly Shi Qingde, who had the weakest cultivation among the group and was lagging behind.
Even while running, Shi Qingde could sense the foul-smelling hot wind coming from behind, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
"Sister!"
In the face of a crisis, people often instinctively call out the names of those closest to them.
"Qingde!"
Shi Caifeng turned her head, seeing the giant wolf's claws about to step on her younger brother's body, her eyes reddened with fury.
Without a thought, she surged forward with unprecedented speed, pouncing towards the Wolf Demon.
Raising the Silver Hooks, she slashed fiercely at the Wolf Demon.
'Bang!'
Immediately, she was sent flying backwards at greater speed, crashing through two large trees in succession.
Even a Great Circulation Martial Artist is no match for the Beast King.
The Wolf Demon raised its paw, an expression of disdain visible in its eyes.
It was about to crush the insignificant insect beneath its feet.
'Woo!'
A silver light streaked across the sky at unimaginable speed towards the Wolf Demon's waist!
Sensing a certain threat, the Wolf Demon quickly leapt aside, evading the silver light attack.
The silver light was an agile, small silver axe, spinning rapidly towards the heights after missing its target.
But at a certain moment, it paused slightly, then rebounded with even greater speed.
It struck directly at the caught-off-guard Wolf Demon!
"Howl!"
The Wolf Demon roared angrily.
An axe embedded into its right waist, sinking in halfway, blood flowing.
But its muscles, puffed up like a small mountain, managed to forcefully expel the axe!
And while the Wolf Demon was momentarily distracted.
'Whoosh!'
A black shadow rushed from another direction, with a fist striking out accompanied by a sharp tearing sound.
"Splitting Mountain!"
An invisible energy spread forth, causing temporary confusion in the Wolf Demon's four eyes.
Its whole body's Blood Qi was instantly activated, and its bones emitted cracking sounds.
The fist was unstoppable, exerting over eight thousand jin of strength, all poured onto the giant wolf!
Yet the wolf's fur was too dense, and under the stimulus of danger, it all flared up, dissipating the force, suffering little actual harm.
"Dragon Piercing!"
Lou Yi controlled the Secret Blood to strike a certain acupoint in his chest.
A tingling spread throughout his body, subsequently releasing newfound power from every corner of his body, incessantly gathering into the right fist.
The two forces combined, instantly exceeding sixteen thousand jin!
'Boom!'
Under such immense force, the Wolf Demon found it difficult to dissipate, causing it to stagger.
Its legs bent to the side, barely able to stand steady.
