Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Bumper Harvest

"Hahaha, you damn Human Race brat! That hurt like hell."

"I didn’t want to use this move, but you’ve gone too far!"

"When you’re dead, I’ll... Huh? Y-you, you, you, why are your eyes still open?"

The Hua Bao was freely venting its frustration when it suddenly saw Zhu Ge’s open eyes.

"What?"

Zhu Ge looked at it strangely. "Why would I close my eyes?"

"Y-you... That was a soul attack!" The Hua Bao’s eyes went wide.

The next second, the Hua Bao spun around without the slightest hesitation and bolted.

It even pushed its demon heart to its limit, erupting with the maximum amount of Demon Qi.

’Run, run, run! I have to run!’

’This isn’t a genius, this is a prodigy!’

’A Human Race prodigy is too terrifying! How could I possibly win?’

’I should have been more cautious the moment he dared to seek me out. Run, run, run! Faster!’

The Hua Bao’s expression was one of utter chaos, its leopard face showing clear terror.

It was too dreadful!

Too terrifying!

A human, who looked very young, had walked up with a silver staff and, without a word, started beating it.

And the crucial part was, it couldn’t even win!

If it didn’t run now, was it supposed to fight a monstrous freak of the Human Race head-on?

But at that very moment, a cold, indifferent voice sounded beside the Hua Bao:

"Light Incense!"

"Rain Swift Fist!"

...

Stroking the soft but hole-ridden leopard skin in his hands, Zhu Ge felt a pang of regret.

’Shouldn’t have killed it right away.’

Zhu Ge looked at the spots and said, annoyed:

"I should have captured and caged it, then waited for its fur to heal before slaughtering it. Now the pelt is so damaged, I can’t even sell it, and it’s not suitable for you to make into Soul Clothing for my little sister."

The Hua Bao had completely lost its will to fight just now, using all its Demon Qi to flee, leaving none for defense.

Otherwise, how could he have killed it with a single staff strike after using the Xu Family Rain Swift Fist?

So weak!

If it hadn’t been, he could have easily defeated and subdued the Hua Bao, then taken it back to the valley to raise.

He could have waited for its fur to grow back and heal before killing it. Wouldn’t that have given him a perfect pelt?

After all, Hua Liusha was currently trying to learn the "Gusu Silk Annals."

Studying the "Gusu Silk Annals" was the path to becoming a Sewing Master.

To become a Sewing Master, practice was absolutely essential.

And pelts could be used for sewing practice!

At that moment, a cloud of red mist surged out from the Hua Bao’s corpse:

"My dear Brother, it doesn’t matter."

Having devoured the Hua Bao’s soul, Hua Liusha said with a laugh:

"Raising Liu Jianjian and Zhu Sisi in the valley is enough. How could we afford to raise another Demon Beast, especially a carnivorous one!"

"That’s true." Zhu Ge nodded, placing the Hua Bao’s corpse into his grass bowl, then asked:

"By the way, little sister, this pelt can be made into Soul Clothing, right? Its innate ability just now seemed to be a soul-type attack."

"It can. Hmm, or rather... its attack was very rudimentary," Hua Liusha replied. "That golden light attack just now was acting directly on your soul, Brother."

"I suspect this Hua Bao was some kind of ancient variant. Its pelt has special properties, which makes it perfectly suited for crafting Soul Clothing."

An ordinary person would have had a hard time defending against the Hua Bao’s golden light attack.

Never mind someone from the First Realm; even an existence of the same level in the Second Realm would likely have been defeated by the Hua Bao’s golden bombardment.

However, Zhu Ge had a Fungus God and a Xigui in his head, and his own giant egg-like soul was exceptionally resilient.

Therefore, the golden light was blocked directly by the Fungus God and Hua Liusha.

"Are you full yet?" Zhu Ge asked Hua Liusha. "If you are, it’s on to the next one."

Zhu Ge was a Body Refinement practitioner; he had barely used any Blood Qi to kill the Hua Bao.

"It was only the soul of a Second Realm Demon Beast. Brother, just keep killing," Hua Liusha said. After speaking, her roiling red mist flowed back into Zhu Ge’s body.

’Sigh, I guess I have to keep running.’

He had originally thought he could use this Hua Bao as a temporary mount.

But he had killed it by mistake, so now he could only continue traveling on his own two feet.

Zhu Ge looked up at the moon to gauge the time and direction, then immediately ran off.

This time, he planned to operate in a circle with the valley as its center.

Although he’d said he was going to start a hunting frenzy, he still needed to be cautious and play it safe.

He couldn’t just run around recklessly, or he wouldn’t even know what killed him.

WHOOSH—

The leaves rustled as Zhu Ge’s figure leaped and dashed swiftly through the vegetation and across the earth.

*Light Incense*!

This Body Technique didn’t consume much Blood Qi, making it ideal for travel.

Three streams of Blood Qi circulated endlessly within his body—from his head, heart, and Dantian—so his supply of Blood Qi was extremely abundant.

Even after fighting a Second Realm Transformation Realm Demon Beast for a good while, his condition could still be described as peak.

RUSTLE...

Zhu Ge ran for a while before suddenly sensing the aura of a Spirit Realm Demon Beast. He immediately sped off in that direction.

Whether it was Spirit Realm or Transformation Realm, they were all his targets!

Aside from Third Realm existences, which he had to avoid, he feared nothing else!

’Kill, kill, kill!’

’Eat, eat, eat!’

...

Zhu Ge rotated through Martial Arts like *Light Incense*, Tea Swordsmanship, and the Waist and Horse Skill.

In just a few short hours, five Demon Beasts had been slain.

Elsewhere, these Demon Beasts could have ravaged villages, perhaps even massacred an entire one.

But in the eyes of a Body Refining Martial Artist, especially in Zhu Ge’s eyes, they were nothing more than livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

This was the power brought by a Cultivation Technique!

Zhu Ge had practiced the Great Sun Glaze Body and, with an all-encompassing mindset, had also mastered all the Martial Arts the Raincoat Fisherman had tailor-made for himself.

Furthermore, Zhu Ge had Hua Liusha and the Fungus God protecting his soul.

Thus, Zhu Ge’s current strength could be considered completely unrivaled in the First Realm.

Even those in the Second Realm couldn’t do anything to him.

According to the classifications of True Monarch Minmian and the True Monarch of the Lantern, someone like Zhu Ge was more than qualified to be called a genius.

A heaven-sent talent!

This was different from when Zhu Ge had used the "Kunpeng" and "Spider" traits to kill the Fungus God and the Raincoat Fisherman.

That had been a battle of wits, a cross-realm kill achieved through intellect.

But now, Zhu Ge could also achieve cross-realm kills through sheer martial power!

When Zhu Ge returned to the valley with the corpses of five Demon Beasts, Liu Jianjian was astonished.

"Master, y-you’re just too incredible!" Liu Jianjian’s face was full of adoration. "I only went out and picked four or five little fruits, and you’ve already hunted so many Demon Beasts! You’re amazing!"

’Did you really only pick five fruits? More like you didn’t go picking at all and just grabbed a few from the side of the road to pass it off...’ Zhu Ge shot Liu Jianjian a sidelong glance upon hearing her words.

But he couldn’t be bothered to expose this gossipy hedgehog.

"So, did you find out the location of the Black-Horned Bull?" Zhu Ge was still thinking about the Black-Horned Bull.

It was smart and a hard worker—perfect for being his guard dog.

"I did!"
