"Bang!"

  Blood spttered!

  Huang Mao was sent flying backward, crashing through tless trees along the way before finally smashing into a rock. With just one punch, his face was a bloody mess, his nose brokeh shattered into pieces, and his entire body seemed to be nothing but a mass of injuries.

  The dark rod also fell into the hands of the white-furred giant ape elder.

  "This rod..." The white-furred giant ape stared at the rod in his hand, notig that the True Qi within him seemed to be obstructed, being sluggish. Moreover, the weight of this rod was beyond reason, heavier than a small mountain.

  "What a strahing!" He quickly threw the rod away, but at that moment, a strong sense of danger surged in his heart. As he turned his head, he saw Huang Mao's twisted face.

  "Not good!" he shouted in arm. Despite being severely injured, Huang Mao could still move and took advantage of the moment when his True Qi was blocked to unch a terattack!

  Bang!

  Another iron fist nded precisely on the face of the white-furred giant ape elder. The ape elder was hit hard, spewing a mouthful of blood and sliding back dozens of meters before ing to a stop midway.

  "You beast, how dare you ambush me!" The white-furred giant ape was furious. Although this blow did not cause him serious injury, it was a great humiliation. As a digenth-level Demon General, having lived for hundreds of years, being hit by a fifth-level Demon General was a joke that would spread throughout the tribe.

  He no longer held back. His white fur bristled, cws extending nearly a foot long, and he dropped to all fours, baring his teeth, transf into a leopard-like form.

  "Whoosh!" The white figure vanished in an instant, like a whirlwind, charging towards Huang Mao.

  Huang Mao sat on the ground, a bitter smile on his face. That st punch had nearly exhausted his remaining strength, and his berserk state was about to end.

  "Boss, if you don't e soon, I'm done for!"

  ...

  In another cave.

  Two round, transparent pills jumped out of the alchemy furnace. With a gesture, Xiao Long made the pills float in front of him.

  pared to the Blood Spirit Pill, the Spirit-Reviving Pill was more plex to refi took Xiao Long ten days to produce two pills.

  Without hesitation, Xiao Long swallowed one. As the pill entered his body, he felt as if his soul was soaking in an icy spring, refreshing his entire being. The fatigue from long hours of alchemy vanished.

  After about the time it takes to burn a stick of inse, the pill's effects were fully ed. Xiao Long opened his eyes, a sharp gleam fshing in his deep pupils, and an indescribable overwhelming aura burst forth. The surrounding sand and stones rolled, and even the is flying in the air fell one by one.

  After a long time, Xiao Loracted his overflowing soul power, his aura tained, and everythiuro calm.

  "My soul power has finally recovered to ohousandth!"

  At this moment, Xiao Long finally felt a trace of the majesty he had as the Burning Heaven Dragon Emperor.

  "No wo's a frade pill. If I were to fight desperately now, even an Innate Martial Master wouldn't be my mat a single enter!" Xiao Long had this fidence.

  He po give the remaining Spirit-Reviving Pill to Xiao Bai.

  Closing his eyes, his soul power transformed into spiritual sense, spreading out in an arow that his soul was strohe range of his spiritual sense expanded from over a hundred meters to a thousaers.

  Within a thousaers, everything was enveloped by his invisible spiritual sense. Xiao Long could clearly sehe flowers and grass outside the cave, evei is and bacteria.

  Such powerful spiritual sense was something even those in the Prenatal Realm did not possess.

  "dense!" Xiao Long anded in a low voice, and his vast soul power instantly densed into an invisible spiritual sense bde, standing in mid-air, causing even the space to ripple slightly.

  The spiritual sense bde could cut through souls, killing invisibly!

  This was a new soul teique Xiao Long could use after rec his soul power.

  Orike could severely ihe soul of even an Innate Expert, but it was too burdensome for Xiao Long to use lightly.

  "Hmm? Why are there signs of battle?"

  Xiao Long's spiritual sense suddenly detected some chaos on the surface outside, mixed with chaotic Spiritual Qi fluctuations, as if something was fighting.

  Xiao Long quickly removed the soundproofing and shielding formations. As soon as he did, he heard tinuous booming sounds from outside.

  Rushing out of the cave, Xiao Long saw Huang Mao sitting on the ground, covered in blood, with a white-furred giant ape charging at him.

  Xiao Long's face immediately darkened.

  "Damn it! You dare to harm my disciple, I'll make sure you never return!!"

  Whoosh!

  Xiao Long shot out like lightning, swift as an arrow, arriving in an instant.

  The white-furred giant ape only saw a bck shadow shooting towards it, w what it was, and then... nothing more.

  Ding!

  "You have killed a level 20 wild monster, gaining 32,000 experience points! (Level challenge experience bonus 60%.)"

  "You have gained 29,308 gold s, current gold bance is 233,210, Midas Touch is on cooldown."

  [Ding! Midas Touch proficy has reached 100%, upgraded to lv2!]

  [Midas Touch lv2: turn wild monsters within 5 levels higher than oneself into gold s, with a 20% gold bonus, casting range 100 meters, cooldown 12 hours.]

  Just when Huang Mao thought disaster was immi, the white-furred giant ape suddenly turned into a golden statue, shining brightly, then disappeared.

  "Haha! Boss! You're finally out!" Huang Mao ughed excitedly, actally pulling at his facial wounds, grimag in pain.

  Xiao Long stepped forward to check Huang Mao's injuries, his face turniremely grim. Huang Mao's entire body was almost devoid of any intact areas, muscles torn, meridians severed, and even dozens of bones broken, with some ribs pierg into his ans, nearly causing fatal injuries.

  With sujuries, any ordinary demo would have long passed out, yet Huang Mao could still ugh.

  "You fool! Why didn't you tell me about this?!"

  Seeing Xiao Long angry, Huang Mao, like a child who had done something wrong, scratched his head and stammered, "Boss was refining pills, I was afraid... to disturb you."

  Xiao Long was left speechless.

  He had established a soul e with Huang Mao, allowing Huang Mao to inform him of any enemy attacks at any time. But doing so might have interrupted the Spirit-Reviving Pill refi.

  "Truly foolish!" Xiao Long scolded, but felt deeply gratified inside.

  To withstand a tenth-level demo with the body of a third-level demo and remain scious after such severe injuries, this will alone could make him a formidable figure.

  He had seen many born into nobility, with extraordinary talent, who might make a name for themselves in their youth, but without great perseverand willpower, they could never bee true powerhouses.

  "Take this." Xiao Long tossed a Blood Spirit Pill to him.
