97. Chapter 97: Long Xiang Gong Master (Celebrating for adrianfufu Alliance Leader)
Riverside.
Temporary camp.
In the basement, Fang Xing sorted the cut bird meat and feathers into categories.
Although that second-rank demon pill is a good thing, it is of no use to him, and he can't find a pill refiner to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, so it is just a collection.
However, this collection is relatively precious and can be placed in the storage bag.
Since having the storage bag, Fang Xing's moving is convenient, of course, because the storage bag is a bit sensitive, he certainly won't take it to the Blue Star Federation, just use it here.
And because the capacity of the two storage bags is quite small, there is no way to put all the second-rank demon beast meat in, so it can only be used as a tool for a little more capacity when moving.
"This place can be transformed into a permanent camp."
After putting the spoils into the warehouse, Fang Xing scanned the circle and was quite satisfied.
Compared to the market, there is no spiritual energy here, so it doesn't attract demon beasts to gather.
Unlike the Qinglin Market, where he just left for a while, the flesh and blood of second-rank demon beasts triggered a demon beast melee!
Even by the third day, new second-rank demon beasts appeared, seemingly coveting the territory of the golden-feathered vulture!
This also made Fang Xing feel that he couldn't stay in the market, so he chose to return to this initial landing place.
"With my current self, even if I can kill a second-rank demon beast in one blow, if I get caught by a second-rank high-grade demon beast, it certainly won't feel good... If I get surrounded again, or encounter a cautious second-rank flying bird that doesn't land, it might be a bit troublesome..."
After a battle, Fang Xing had a clear understanding of his own strength.
Even for the immortal system of this world and the martial arts system of the Blue Star Federation, he had a vague comparison and concept.
"Realm is realm, combat power is combat power."
"Just in terms of realm, Blue Star martial arts, first realm skin and flesh, second realm tendons and bones... are equivalent to the acquired martial artists of this world, at most tempered more perfectly."
"And the third realm Unpolished Jade is equivalent to the innate martial artists of this world! It can also be compared to early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators..."
Although cultivators look down on innate martial artists, at least they admit that innate martial artists have the strength to threaten early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!
"A Fourth Realm Courage and Resolve martial artist, judging purely by realm, should be between the late Qi Condensation and Qi Condensation Perfection... Fifth Realm External Landscape, perhaps comparable to Foundation Establishment? Then the Sixth Realm Martial Dao Jin Dan, similar to the Nascent Soul Zhenjun of this world? At least the lifespan seems about the same..."
Whether it's the Martial Dao Jin Dan of Blue Star or the Nascent Soul Zhenjun of this world, the lifespan seems to be around four or five hundred years.
But Fang Xing hasn't reached that realm, so his guess may not be accurate.
"Of course, the realm is like this, but the combat power is a bit unequal."
"At least second-realm martial artists of the Federation can learn A-grade martial arts, and after entry, they can fight innate!"
"And third-realm Unpolished Jade, if they learn an S-grade martial art, ordinary mid-to-late Foundation Establishment cultivators will be slashed to death if they are not careful... there is a slight possibility of threatening Foundation Establishment cultivators."
"As for me, a fourth-realm Courage and Resolve martial artist, I am considered beyond the specifications. After all, very few people can practice so many martial arts to such a deep level in the Courage and Resolve Realm... Therefore, I can at least challenge some weak external landscapes in Blue Star? After Long Xiang Gong ascends to the master rank, I am at least equivalent to a second-rank body-refining cultivator."
"As for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of this world, their bodies are weak, and if they are approached by me, they are dead! Even second-rank demon beasts with strong bodies will be killed by me if they are not careful..."
Fang Xing has self-knowledge. The place where humans are more powerful than demon beasts is that they know how to use tools.
Therefore, killing that demon bird, he certainly had to use the Qinghong Sword to do it cleanly.
Even if he encounters a strong enemy, he won't hesitate to use gun-fighting
"If we only talk about combat power, there's no way to compare... otherwise, let Zhong Yuxiu come, and if she's equipped with a military mecha, she could slaughter Foundation Establishment stages... but she's only in the Third Realm Unpolished Jade."
"Looking at it this way, the martial arts of the Blue Star Federation actually seem to be a bit more powerful than the immortal path of this world? At least the burst is high and the progress is fast!"
Fang Xing began to ponder how to take the best from others to make up for his own shortcomings.
Or rather, to draw on the experience of the immortal path civilization to create his own 'Immortal Martial' path.
"However... my experience is still too little."
"The Qinglin Market is just the backwater of backwaters; the cultivator samples cannot represent all cultivators."
"Perhaps there are some truly powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators who can easily slay Rank 2 demonic beasts... if they hold some high-power magical treasures, could they be comparable to some low-rank mechas?"
Among immortal cultivators, there are also methods that allow low-rank cultivators to erupt with high-rank power.
The most common ones are talismans!
If a Qi Condensation cultivator uses a Rank 2 talisman, that also counts as erupting with Foundation Establishment combat power.
Talismans are like this; magical tools and arrays go without saying.
Especially arrays!
They are the true path of gathering small amounts to make a lot and winning against the strong with the weak!
According to Fang Xing's view, arrays are the means that increase individual combat power the most among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation, and they have the hope of comparing with some low-rank mechas of the Federation.
For example, letting a Qi Condensation Perfection array master manipulate a Rank 2 array has the possibility of trapping Zhong Yuxiu, who is piloting a mecha.
After all, with Zhong Yuxiu's strength, she currently cannot support a mecha that is too strong.
Of course, if Zhong Yuxiu were to transfer to become a Star River Fleet commander, even if she only piloted one warship over, at least a Rank 3 or even Rank 4 array would be needed to block it.
A month passed in a trance.
The Great Wilderness, in the dense forest.
*Bang! Bang! *
Terrifying collision sounds came continuously, causing the ground to tremble and trees to fall.
Countless birds were startled and flew up, and some small animals nearby fled in all directions as if escaping a disaster.
*Bang! *
A black shadow rushed forward violently, heavily colliding with Fang Xing, blasting him away like a cannonball. Fang Xing's body retreated rapidly, as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding locomotive, and he broke three ancient trees as thick as a waist before slowly stopping.
He patted his unscathed chest and looked at the Rank 2 demonic beast opposite him, immediately smiling: "Satisfying... come again!"
The Rank 2 demonic beast opposite was a wild boar with a body entirely red; it was over three meters tall, and at this time, it sprayed two balls of fire from its nose.
"You're actually using spells; you're playing dirty!"
Fang Xing flashed past, arrived beside the Rank 2 wild boar demonic beast, and raised his hand to grab the other party's pig trotter.
Then he exerted force!
He unexpectedly lifted the huge wild boar demonic beast as if he were an overlord lifting a tripod, and threw it heavily toward a small hill nearby!
*Boom! *
Amidst the wild boar demonic beast's oinking screams, a huge depression appeared on the small hill, and gravel flew everywhere.
"As expected of a Rank 2 demonic beast, even if it just advanced, it has thick skin and flesh."
Fang Xing loosened up his shoulders and neck and gave a thumbs up.
Since this period of time, he had been practicing martial arts diligently, and he was tired of eating demonic bird meat.
Plus, some martial arts require actual combat to progress, so he went out to look for opportunities for actual combat.
Through a drone, he avoided some dangers and found this Rank 2 demonic beast that had just advanced.
Its strength was just about the same as his, so he could deal with it without using the Qinghong Sword, relying solely on his own physical defense and great strength.
—Of course, Fang Xing also admitted that he wanted to eat braised pork.
"Oink! Oink!"
The red wild boar rolled and climbed up, feeling very helpless about this opponent.
The other party was simply too hard!
No matter how it rammed or even used its innate demonic fire to attack, it was as if nothing had happened.
Instead, after the other party attacked a few times, it was injured.
At this time, it sprayed a large amount of black smoke from its nasal cavity, rapidly enveloping the surroundings, preparing to slip away.
Demonic beasts are actually very smart; when they meet an opponent they can't take down, they won't fight to the death.
"Want to leave? It's a pity for a good target."
Fang Xing sighed, patted the storage bag at his waist, and the Qinghong Sword immediately turned into a green light and fell into his palm.
His figure flashed, and he had already arrived beside the wild boar demonic beast; the Qinghong Sword turned into a sharp, peerless green sword light that suddenly surged!
The sword light was like a dragon, flying and folding enchantingly, stabbing into the wild boar demonic beast's neck position, and slashed violently!
A huge pig head flew high, and fresh blood flowed everywhere.
"Today I'll eat pig blood with large intestines... and prepare some slaughtered pork dish. This pig leg meat is not bad; I can pickle it first..."
Fang Xing began to dissect this Rank 2 demonic beast, a hint of joy appearing on his face.
"Is my strength now able to crush Rank 2 low-grade demonic beasts head-on?"
He knew his own situation best.
Before, being able to slay that golden-feathered vulture demonic bird was all due to luck and taking it by surprise.
If the other party had gotten serious from the beginning, he would only have had the option of fleeing with his head in his hands.
But this Rank 2 demonic beast was different; that was a solid kill, without any moisture!
Even if it came ten more times, the ending would inevitably be the same.
"My strength has improved..."
Fang Xing glanced at the attribute bar and found that his martial arts realm had changed again:
【Name: Fang Xing】
【Age: 18】
【Profession: Martial Artist】
【Fourth Realm: Courage and Resolve (57/200)】
"The cultivation of the Courage and Resolve Realm should be related to the Niwan Palace... this data indicates that my Niwan Palace now seems to be filled with about a quarter of spiritual psychic power..."
Combined with the attribute panel, Fang Xing had some guesses about the cultivation of the Niwan Palace.
For a Courage and Resolve Realm martial artist, the most important thing is martial will!
Every time one cultivates a martial art to the Master rank and receives a baptism of realm, it should greatly enhance the Niwan Palace and spiritual psychic power; there are many benefits!
"However... without realizing it, my birthday has passed..."
Looking at his age, which had grown by another year, Fang Xing couldn't help but sigh; even according to the laws of the Blue Star Federation, he was now an adult.
"If I hadn't transmigrated, the original Fang Xing clearly would have had difficulty succeeding in the college entrance exam... becoming an adult at eighteen, as soon as high school ended, he probably would have been drafted into the army... and into the most dangerous cannon fodder troops."
"Those natural-born families can still pull strings to choose technical branches or even logistics, or the space force... but cyborgs are definitely the most dangerous frontline cannon fodder!"
Cyborgs carry loans, and they have no choice when joining the army; it's highly likely to be Secret Realm troops, the kind that need to face evil deity kin head-on and go up with blades!
And natural-borns are a bit better; besides logistics, they are highly likely to be assigned to the space force, serving in space fortresses or the Star River Fleet, where they might not encounter a major battle for years, and even if they fight, in most cases, they are just manipulating from in front of a screen, so the safety is relatively high.
Of course, this kind of space force either doesn't lose, but once it fails, it might be a complete formation of casualties!
Furthermore, there are also some natural-borns who, in order to hone their own martial arts or for other reasons, like to join Secret Realm cannon fodder troops and fight to the death with evil deity kin every day!
Fang Xing was sighing when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked toward the storage bag.
His spiritual psychic power swept over, and he could see a dark iron token among the sundries, which was emitting a faint radiance!
