Chapter 111: Fourth-Order Warrior (First Segment)

  A massive amount of energy was slowly flowing through Lin Xiao's body, and every inch it advanced, a thread of energy was refined and absorbed by the cells in his body. As this energy continued to advance, Lin Xiao's cultivation also progressed bit by bit.

  Outside, the bright yellow flames illuminated Lin Xiao's face, casting a golden glow over his entire being. Beads of sweat, each about the size of a soybean, slowly seeped out from his forehead and trickled down his cheeks, falling to the ground.

  An hour has passed and that energy has only advanced less than one-fifth of the way.

  The only pleasant thing is that Lin Xiao's cultivation has gradually approached the second stage of the third-tier warrior, and it is believed that he will be able to break through successfully soon.

  "Unexpectedly, the energy of this python is so enormous, miscalculated!" Lin Xiao's mental strength was now fully concentrated on the massive energy inside his body, not daring to relax in the slightest.

  The energy contained within the python's gallbladder was far greater than Lin Xiao had anticipated.

  He originally thought that a python gallbladder would at most allow him to break through one or two segments, but now it seems that with the magnitude of this energy, it is highly likely that he can break through to the fourth stage of martial arts, a full stage upgrade, and you can imagine how vast this energy is.

  Lin Xiao is now exerting all his might to drive this energy forward along the cultivation route, and as long as he can push his cultivation to the second stage of the third tier, he believes that it will be easier than it is now. And if he can push it to the third stage of the third tier, he believes that everything will become simple then.

  Time slowly passed by, and more than two hours had unknowingly slipped away.

  At this moment, Lin Xiao's body, which was sitting on the rock, suddenly burst out with a strong force. This force seemed like a gentle breeze, blowing the bonfire in front of him to sway, and also raised some dust on the ground.

  The vigor flashed and disappeared, and the bonfire returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened.

  But at this moment, Lin Xiao was exceptionally excited, because his cultivation had finally successfully broken through to the third stage second segment of Wudang, and the originally extremely difficult exercise had become slightly easier, at least he could now release a part of his mind to observe the external situation.

  "It's okay, I chose a cliff with a relatively high overhang as my temporary residence. If I had encountered any wolves or leopards, that would have been disastrous."

  It was at this moment that Lin Xiao was the most vulnerable in his life, and even if someone had just pushed him lightly, he would have been pushed into an abyss of no return. Fortunately, everything was fine, and Lin Xiao was also secretly grateful for his previous choice.

  From the first stage of martial arts to the second stage, Lin Xiao spent more than two hours, but from the second stage to the third stage, it took less than two hours.

  When his cultivation broke through to the third stage of the third rank warrior, that massive energy had reduced to about half its original amount. At this time, his own cultivation had improved, but the energy had decreased. With one decreasing and the other increasing, running became incredibly easy.

  In less than an hour, the massive energy was completely absorbed by Lin Xiao. His body shook violently as a huge force suddenly burst out from every pore of his skin, creating a whirlwind in the cave that instantly extinguished the already weakened bonfire, plunging the cave into darkness.

  Half a beat later...

  In the dark cave, two flashes of light suddenly flashed by, like night pearls. The light only flashed for a moment and then disappeared, as if everything was just an illusion.

  Lin Xiao stood up from the rock, his arms slowly stretching out behind him, and suddenly his entire body emitted a burst of crackling sounds like stir-frying beans.

  "Ah, comfortable!" Stretching her waist, Lin Xiao felt that her whole body was warm and extremely comfortable.

  He raised his arm, glanced at the time on his watch, and found that he could see things clearly in the dark environment, even though it was pitch black. His vision had improved by an unknown number of times compared to before, perhaps due to swallowing the python gall.

  "I really have to thank that big python, oh great python, when I get back I'll definitely burn more paper money for you, wishing you a good rebirth and becoming an immortal ancestor!" Lin Xiao had a smile all over his face, looking like he got a good deal and was showing off, if the python could hear and understand him, it would probably be so angry that it would die again.

  Lin Xiao's gaze swept over other items and fell directly on the physical combat power column of his own attribute panel.

  Physical combat power: 42

  As expected, the enormous energy contained in the python gallstone directly elevated his cultivation to that of a 4th rank first stage martial artist, and it was even closer to the second stage.

  "If only I could find a few more giant pythons like that." Lin Xiao thought with a hint of greed.

  ……

  The night was uneventful, and the next day, just as the sun in the east had barely risen, Lin Xiao left the cave and headed towards a location he hadn't explored yesterday.

  Lin Xiao's positivity was boosted after getting a good deal, but unfortunately, he didn't gain anything in the next five days. The only thing he found was a lingzhi mushroom, which had little effect and only increased his combat power by a fraction of a point, leaving Lin Xiao extremely disappointed.

  Fortunately, he also understood that it's not every time you encounter such a big python, and the Amazon rainforest is so vast, how much bigger can he find? There are hundreds of thousands of places waiting for him to search, maybe in one of those places there are some treasures waiting to be discovered by him!

  With this idea in mind, Lin Xiao continued searching very actively.

  In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Apart from the large python encountered on the third day and the disappointing lingzhi found on the seventh day, Lin Xiao found another blue star grass on the thirteenth day.

  He didn't know what Blue Star Grass was originally, but that time he had to thank the detection technique. Although Lin Xiao always thought it was useless, he had to admit that sometimes it still worked.

  That time Lin Xiao just thought that the plant looked strange, so he subconsciously cast a detection spell and unexpectedly detected its name.

  Blue Star Grass, a heavenly material and earthly treasure class plant that contains the power of the stars. Although it barely qualifies as a heavenly material and earthly treasure, its effects on Lin Xiao at present can only be described in two words: extremely useful.

  Change!
