Chapter 806: Xun Wind Essence (First update, requesting everything)

"What an interesting person!"

Watching Ye Youdao's back disappear from sight, Li Zhangsheng shook his head speechlessly; he was nowhere near as terrifying as that.

Before opening the Treasure Box, Li Zhangsheng surveyed the surrounding situation; the few fellows who had originally been waiting in the shadows for an opportunity had already vanished without a trace.

As long as they weren't fools, who would be bored enough to pick a fight with Li Zhangsheng, who possessed nine Demon Beasts, several of which were even Demi-God Beasts?

Like Ye Youdao, they would avoid Li Zhangsheng as much as possible unless they were driven to a dead end.

The so-called dead end was nothing more than when most of the treasures on this Floating Island had been carved up; at that point, contestants who hadn't yet obtained any treasures would choose to face the difficulty head-on, because the treasures were not only precious but also entry tickets to the next round.

After confirming there was no one nearby, Li Zhangsheng finally opened the Treasure Box.

Inside the box were two pale cyan beads, emitting a hazy glow.

Just like the Vermilion Fruit obtained previously, the moment the box was opened, a gale suddenly whipped up, and the two beads turned into cyan streaks of light, looking as if they were about to escape Li Zhangsheng's sight.

Just then, several vines burst out from the void, wrapping around the two beads layer by layer with lightning speed and pulling them back.

Li Zhangsheng had instructed Kailan in advance to prevent the phenomenon of treasures escaping, but he hadn't expected that the second treasure obtained on this Floating Island would show such signs again.

Clearly, this was not an isolated case; it was very likely that all the treasures stored on this Floating Island possessed such characteristics.

Li Zhangsheng grabbed the two pale cyan beads wrapped in vines; when his right hand touched them, he discovered they were not beads, but two drops of pale cyan liquid, about the size of an adult's fist, though they were very dense and seemed difficult to separate, otherwise they wouldn't have been restrained by the vines.

"This thing looks very familiar!"

At first glance, Li Zhangsheng felt it was very familiar; he had already obtained several treasures with the same characteristics, only the colors were different.

"This is Xun Wind Essence!"

Li Zhangsheng completed the identification, and a brilliant smile could not help but appear on his face; Ye Youdao had indeed given a generous gift.

Xun Wind Essence, like Kui Water Essence, Wutu Essence, and Geng Metal Elite, belonged to the category of Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure among Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, though their attributes and effects differed slightly.

Xun Wind Essence: Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure. While enhancing the power of Wind Element skills, it possesses the effect of ignoring wind resistance and automatically grants comprehension of Xun Wind Divine Thunder. Note: This item contains a large amount of Wind Element energy; please do not use it if the Wind Element Demon Pet is not of Elite rank or above, otherwise there is a danger of sudden death.

Among these, ignoring wind resistance can increase movement speed and attack speed; the effect goes without saying.

This time, Li Zhangsheng had obtained two pieces of Xun Wind Essence, the value of which was no worse than the previous Vermilion Fruit, enough to improve the combat power of two Wind Element Demon Pets.

"One for Aixi, who should the other one go to?"

Of these two pieces of Xun Wind Essence, one was naturally for Aixi; this was unquestionable, as it would be like adding wings to a tiger for Aixi.

Besides Aixi, among Li Zhangsheng's Wind Element Demon Pets, there were also Yuangungun and Datou.

Between the two, Yuangungun was a Demon Beast, but Datou's Golden-Eyed Roc form could better utilize the effects of the Xun Wind Essence.

There was no helping it; Yuangungun's size was what it was, and even though its speed wasn't slow, it couldn't be called fast, so giving it to him would likely yield little effect.

However, Datou had not yet advanced to the Demon Beast rank, and having failed a breakthrough some time ago, it had not fully recovered; Li Zhangsheng planned to wait until then to let it absorb it, which could also provide some assistance for its advancement to the Demon Beast rank.

"Aixi, it's up to you!"

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng threw a piece of Xun Wind Essence to Aixi.

Aixi opened its big mouth, and the Xun Wind Essence fell straight from its open mouth into its stomach, truly a one-step delivery to the stomach.

The next moment, Aixi lay on the ground and began to absorb the Xun Wind Essence with all its might.

During the absorption process, a gale whipped up, sweeping away the surrounding clouds and mist, but these clouds and mist seemed endless, so the visibility in the surroundings did not improve.

Since advancing to the Demon Beast rank, Aixi's speed in absorbing treasures had clearly accelerated a lot; the Xun Wind Essence, which would have taken about a quarter of an hour to digest, took Aixi less than five minutes to finish before it climbed up from the ground.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Savage Winged Tiger (Growth Stage. Consumed Geng Metal Elite, enhancing the power of Gold Element skills, with a certain armor-piercing effect, and comprehended Geng Metal Divine Thunder. Consumed Xun Wind Essence, enhancing the power of Wind Element skills, possessing the effect of ignoring wind resistance, and comprehended Xun Wind Divine Thunder. Comprehended Mystery, greatly enhancing skill power; Mystery Guard: exempts a portion of damage, mainly depending on the opponent's realm.)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Demon Beast 4th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Perfect Monarch

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Epic (Guaranteed to be able to break through to the Demon Beast rank, slightly increases the probability of breaking through to the Demon Saint rank)

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: White Tiger Bloodline (Rich), Qiongqi (Rich)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wind Element + Gold Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: None (Purple Pattern Luo Heaven Fruit eliminated attribute weaknesses)

During this process, Aixi's panel didn't change much, only increasing by one small rank; the reason it was only at the Demon Beast 4th Rank was mainly because Aixi had spent quite a bit of time crossing from the Pseudo-Demon King level to the Demon Beast level.

However, with Aixi's exaggerated rate of progress, he believed it wouldn't take long to reach the critical point of the Demon Beast rank.

Besides this, after absorbing the Xun Wind Essence, Aixi's strength had improved again, especially in terms of movement speed and attack speed.

In an instant, Aixi manifested a large number of Residual Shadows, its speed becoming eerie, and it suddenly disappeared; its speed had improved again compared to before.

Soon, Aixi stopped in front of Li Zhangsheng, its tiger eyes, as large as lanterns, carrying obvious joy; it was clearly very satisfied with the effect of the Xun Wind Essence.

Li Zhangsheng began to communicate mentally with Aixi and soon got the answer: after absorbing the Xun Wind Essence, Aixi's movement speed and attack speed had both increased by about twenty percent.

Don't look at the increase as not being very large, but Aixi's original speed was already superior to almost all Demon Beasts (except Divine Beasts), and now it was even more so; it was probably not much worse than an Archdemon-level Assassin Demon.

Additionally, Xun Wind Essence didn't just have the effect of ignoring wind resistance; its other effects could also enhance Aixi's strength.

Li Zhangsheng did not recall his Demon Pets and continued to wander around with his nine Demon Beasts.

This Floating Island was not ordinary in size; its area was probably dozens of times larger than the outer Floating Islands. Since his Mental Power could not be projected outward, it would take Li Zhangsheng some time to explore it completely.

If one added the limitations of vision and Mental Power, as long as the distance was a bit far, even if someone else broke open a Treasure Vat, Li Zhangsheng feared he would be unable to sense it.

After nearly half an hour passed, suddenly, a streak of light flew rapidly toward Li Zhangsheng's direction.
