In the blink of an eye, half of the month-long grand competition period has already passed. At this time, there are probably less than two hundred teams still remaining deep in Jinshi Mountain. As time goes by, these two hundred teams are also slowly being streamlined and compressed.
The roars of magical beasts resound one after another in Jinshi Mountain. The disciples of Leiyun Academy are no ordinary people. Once these favored sons of heaven get serious, they are indeed a force to be reckoned with. And once everyone focuses all their energy on hunting magical beasts, those lone magical beasts can hardly escape their hunts.
One magical beast after another loses its life at the hands of the disciples of Leiyun Academy. The token talismans on many people are rapidly increasing. It can be said that this grand competition has finally reached the most crucial stage.
"Boom!!!!"
A loud explosion sounded on an open space by a lake. Accompanied by the spreading explosion, a young man flipped in the air and landed gently. At the same time, a huge saber-toothed pig also landed.
This saber-toothed pig is fully two meters long. Since it is lying on the ground, its height cannot be seen. At this time, the saber-toothed pig is bleeding from all seven orifices and is clearly dead beyond resurrection.
"What a fine iron-armored saber-toothed pig. Mingming Only having the strength equivalent to a great accomplished martial artist in the True Yuan Realm, yet it is so difficult to hunt. Fortunately, it met me. If others encountered this guy, they might really not be able to kill it."
Letting out a long breath, Yun Xiao looked at his prey while secretly sighing.
Just now, he found the nest of this saber-toothed pig by the lake and discovered three token talismans hanging on its tail. Subsequently, he began a fierce battle with this big fellow.
The saber-toothed pig has hard scales all over its body, and ordinary swords are difficult to harm them. However, meeting him is definitely its misfortune because the skills he masters don't need swords at all!
"My Dragon-Capturing Fist is getting more and more impressive. Just now, this punch directly shattered its heart veins through the shell of the saber-toothed pig. Although it is not perfect, it is barely passable."
With a twitch of his mouth, he is very satisfied with this attack. And thinking that he has basically mastered this move, his heart becomes increasingly delighted.
The punch just now is called the Dragon-Capturing Fist, which is a powerful martial art described in the Dragon-Capturing Manual. After opening up all one hundred and eight acupoints in his body, he can already practice the boxing skills on the Dragon-Capturing Fist.
The Dragon-Capturing Manual is named after capturing dragons. Naturally, it is to capture divine dragons alive. And to capture divine dragons alive, one must naturally have the ability to harm divine dragons. This Dragon-Capturing Fist is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying means.
The Dragon-Capturing Fist has mysterious moves and terrifying power like hitting through a mountain. Once a person or a magical beast is hit by this punch, they will definitely suffer a devastating blow. Speaking of which, the move he used against Kong Jingyun before is exactly a move from the Dragon-Capturing Fist. However, in that punch, he only used less than fifty percent of his strength, so he didn't kill Kong Jingyun.
After several days of practical application, his mastery of the Dragon-Capturing Fist is becoming more and more proficient. If he uses his full strength, shattering the internal organs of a great accomplished martial artist in the True Yuan Realm with one punch is simply a piece of cake.
"Just thinking about these things, I almost forgot the important matter." Shaking his head and smiling, Yun Xiao temporarily put aside those unnecessary thoughts. Speaking, he came to the front of the saber-toothed pig and untied the three token talismans tied to its tail.
"Tsk tsk, counting these three token talismans, there are already as many as seventy token talismans on me!"
After taking down these three token talismans, his face instantly filled with a smile and he is also full of hope for the future. He firmly believes that as long as he performs normally, then the first place in this grand competition will definitely be his.
Seven days ago, he resolutely left He Bi's team. After that, he avoided the disciples of Leiyun Academy who were searching everywhere and walked alone in front of everyone. He hunted one magical beast after another deep in Jinshi Mountain. And almost every three or four magical beasts he hunted, he could obtain at least one token talisman.
In the past seven days, his original thirty-nine token talismans have reached seventy. This efficiency is definitely enough to make any team blush.
Hunting magical beasts is his old profession. From finding the traces of magical beasts to how to hunt the target, he is very familiar with all this. Then, with the assistance of powerful spiritual power, he can completely achieve easy kills.
It can be said without hesitation that this grand competition is simply tailor-made for him. If he can't get the first place in this competition, then he, this rare genius in the world, might really be ungrateful to heaven's grace.
"I gained thirty-one token talismans in these seven days. Speaking of speed, it's not very fast. It seems that in the remaining time, I must improve my speed."
Although his advantage is extremely obvious, the gap in numbers makes him dare not relax at all.
No matter how strong his strength is, in the end, he is fighting alone. But the other teams are different. Those people cooperate with each other and there are more than four or five people in each team. And when these people work together to deal with magical beasts, their efficiency may not be worse than his.
"Eh? There is also a spiritual grass here?"
After putting away the token talismans, Yun Xiao suddenly discovered that not far from the place where he just killed the saber-toothed pig, a water plant emerged from the lake, just showing a few lush green leaves, swaying gently with the breeze.
"This is a spiritual treasure? Not bad, not bad. This saber-toothed pig actually guarded a spiritual grass. Judging from its age, it won't be less than two hundred years. Just right to nourish my body."
With a glance, he discovered the spiritual grass that had just emerged from the water. Speaking of which, along the way, around many of the magical beasts he killed, there would be some natural treasures hidden. And this is also a habit of magical beasts. They always like to live by guarding natural treasures, just like misers among humans.
These subsidiary spoils of war from killing magical beasts are also extremely useful to him. At least, eating a century-old spiritual treasure of not low age is completely equivalent to him practicing for half a day.
Although he is participating in the grand competition, he has never stopped practicing for a moment. The improvement of martial arts skills is not everything. Only by making his strength stronger and stronger can the power exerted by martial arts skills be greater. Therefore, as long as there is an opportunity to improve his strength, he will definitely not be the slightest bit lax.
"It's just a pity for this big guy. My current strength is limited and I can't put such a big guy into the space ring. If I could send this guy outside, it should be able to sell for an extremely good price!"
After pulling out the spiritual grass in the water, Yun Xiao swallowed it in three or two bites. Then, his gaze fell on the body of the saber-toothed pig and he sighed.
This saber-toothed pig's body is too huge. Although his space ring has enough space, his level of true essence power is much worse. To put this big guy in, it will probably take at least reaching the great accomplishment of the True Yuan Realm.
In fact, along the way, except for collecting some small magical beast corpses, he could only reluctantly discard those huge magical beast corpses. And this is also inevitable.
"Jinshi Mountain is also a treasure land. It can be seen that there seem to be not many visitors here. If I could stay here for a while longer, maybe I could find more natural treasures and thus make my strength make great progress."
With his eyes slightly narrowed, he suddenly became very interested in the natural treasures in Jinshi Mountain. Since he started acting alone, he has discovered many precious natural treasures. If it weren't for the limited time, he would 恨不得 put aside all the things at hand and wholeheartedly collect natural treasures for cultivation.
Jinshi Mountain is different from Yingchou Mountain. The danger here is much greater than that of Yingchou Mountain. Ordinary martial artists dare not set foot here easily. As a result, many natural treasures in the mountain have had sufficient growth time and space, reaching a not low age.
"Judging from my actions these days, the stronger the magical beast, the more token talismans it will have. The magical beasts I hunted before were basically first-order magical beasts. There were not many second-order magical beasts. As for third-order magical beasts, I have been intentionally avoiding them. But now it seems that I can find a few third-order magical beasts to try my hand."
In the past few days, he has had a new understanding of his own strength and his grasp of hunting magical beasts is also getting greater and greater. To put it bluntly, these few days are just a warm-up for hunting stronger magical beasts later.
Third-order magical beasts are equivalent to martial artists at the peak of the True Yuan Realm. This level of magical beasts has much stronger combat power than martial artists of the same level. But they lack the cunning and variability of human martial artists. With his current strength, even though it is a bit difficult to hunt them, it is not impossible.
Of course, it's still too early to say anything now. Everything still needs to be determined after he really fights with third-order magical beasts.
