Chapter 438 Strength

With just one glance, Fang Yue excitedly shouted.

The realm breakthrough had directly jumped to 97%?

If all went well, after listing a few more bizarre creatures, he would be able to break through to the high-rank Ren level!

Even his lifespan had been replenished.

The only small problem was that the consumption of the Still World seemed to have increased, directly dropping 0.5 points of understanding.

It seemed that as his strength increased, the consumption of various skills also increased when facing strong enemies.

Still World was Fang Yue's strange spiritual root ability, and it was also one of Fang Yue's trump cards.

This time, he was able to solve the bizarre creature so smoothly, somewhat thanks to trickery.

After all, if it were a head-on battle, Fang Yue would not have been able to keep up with the [Mist-Eating Ghoul]'s movements. He relied entirely on the fact that the other party was unable to defend against the Still World to take the opportunity to unleash his full power and kill it with one blow!

This was a completely different concept from being able to fight a Li-level bizarre creature head-on.

Fang Yue was still self-aware of this point.

A low-rank Li-level bizarre creature corresponded to a low-rank Yun-level martial artist.

Looking at it this way, there was still quite a distance between him and a Yun-level expert.

No! The strength of a Li-level bizarre creature was already stronger than a martial artist of the same level, so the gap between him and a Yun-level martial artist might not be that big, but there was still a gap when compared to a bizarre creature.

In any case, being able to survive this time had an element of luck. Even Fang Yue himself had to admit this.

He realized that he had become a little careless.

This was Han River, and the danger of Han River was far more serious than on land.

"I must act cautiously next. If I am as reckless as Ban Lu again, I am afraid I will lose my life."

Crack, crack.

The lake surface under his feet gradually thawed from its frozen state.

Fang Yue understood that he could no longer stay here.

Unfortunately, the [Mist-Eating Ghoul]'s body didn't have a chance to be salvaged and sank to the bottom of the lake.

The [Sea Mist Ghoul] had been completely wiped out, and the surrounding thick fog gradually dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Yue didn't hesitate any longer and immediately ran to the Han River giant ship.

Strength, strength, and more strength!

It seemed that even in the extremely dangerous Han River, he needed to consider secluded cultivation to comprehend the sword techniques in Lord Han's inheritance and complete the Three Strikes as One.

Otherwise, even if he reached the high-rank Ren level now, he would not feel at ease.

With a shift of his body, Fang Yue had already left the spot.

The thick fog rolled away, and the lake surface returned to its former calm. Only some floating ice on the lake surface told of a fierce life-and-death battle that had taken place here.

Fang Yue returned to the Han River giant ship. The ship immediately added two turbojet devices, and the speed suddenly soared, accelerating away from this place.

Not long after the Han River giant ship left, the bloody smell here attracted more bizarre creatures to converge here.

Large shadows at the bottom of the lake gathered here, and the main target was the [Mist-Eating Ghoul].

"The weak are prey to the strong. The more powerful the bizarre creature, the stronger the supplement its corpse has on other bizarre creatures."

At the stern of the Han River giant ship, Qing Chen watched the shadows at the bottom of the lake. They didn't even look at the Han River giant ship, like college students rushing to the cafeteria, vying to pounce on the [Mist-Eating Ghoul]'s corpse, and couldn't help but sigh.

Fang Yue's heart stirred.

"Doesn't that mean I can also..."

"It's different. They are purely bizarre creatures, while you and Lin Ling are semi-bizarre creatures, half-human. You can't generalize."

Fang Yue immediately felt disappointed.

He thought he could also have the special privilege of Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

You know, he wasn't as pretentious as Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu. If he could become stronger by eating bizarre creature corpses, he would have swallowed the [Mist-Eating Ghoul] alive without hesitation.

"By the way, I heard that someone was sent to you because they inhaled the mist. How is he doing?"

"He won't die, but it will be difficult for him to recover. He is basically out of the question when it comes to martial arts. However, with the few Sea Mist Ghoul corpses you brought back, I can continue to study them. Maybe there will be a turnaround."

Fang Yue nodded slightly. When everyone else arrived, Fang Yue told them about his decision to enter secluded cultivation.

"What?! You want to enter secluded cultivation? On the Han River?"

Tian Ruichi widened his eyes, thinking he had heard wrong.

The danger of the Han River was such that even if you were on edge every day, you might still suffer disaster.

Fang Yue was thinking of entering secluded cultivation. Wasn't this courting death?

But Lin Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Since Xiaoyue said so, there must be a reason. Go ahead and enter secluded cultivation. Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you!"

Jing Yan blindly supported any decision Fang Yue made. Qing Chen frowned, hesitated, and didn't speak. But it could be seen that he didn't agree either.

Although Qing Chen and Fang Yue had a very close relationship, he always leaned towards rationality when thinking about problems and was not too influenced by personal feelings. Fang Yue's temporary idea of secluded cultivation, if it were someone else, he would definitely disagree with it ten thousand times. It was already good that he didn't object now.

"Don't worry, I have my own considerations. Moreover, although I say I'm entering secluded cultivation, if something happens, you can come to me immediately, and I will come out immediately." That's what he said, but disturbing someone in secluded cultivation could cause them to become possessed. No one wanted anything to happen to Fang Yue, so naturally, they wouldn't consider disturbing Fang Yue's secluded cultivation.

Just as their opinions were about to reach a consensus, the helmsman's voice suddenly rang out loudly from the bow of the ship.

"I don't think it's appropriate. The Sea Mist Ghouls just died at your hands. According to my understanding, there is usually a Li-level bizarre creature lurking in the gathering place of Sea Mist Ghoul groups, called the Mist-Eating Ghoul! A Li-level bizarre creature. On this entire ship, I'm afraid only you have the ability to deal with it, and you are its target.

If you enter secluded cultivation now, it is equivalent to suicide, taking off your own head and giving it to the Mist-Eating Ghoul!"

After seeing Fang Yue's performance, the helmsman had completely understood the distribution of power on the ship.

To put it simply, it was one super and four wastes, plus a bunch of useless guard ornaments.

As long as Fang Yue didn't take action, no one would be able to deal with the crisis of the Han River.

Therefore, Fang Yue had to be present at all times to ensure Tian Ruichi's safety, ensure his normal sailing, and be able to reach the capital as soon as possible, then fulfill his long-cherished wish, escape the bizarre curse, and regain his freedom.

The helmsman of the Han River giant ship thought that after he said this, there was no way Fang Yue would enter secluded cultivation.

However, to his confusion, when faced with the threat of a Li-level bizarre creature, Fang Yue and the others' expressions became strange.

Just as he was about to ask in confusion, Fang Yue suddenly spoke.

"Um, the Mist-Eating Ghoul that the helmsman mentioned has already been killed by me. The bizarre creatures that swam past the bottom of the ship earlier were probably here for the Mist-Eating Ghoul's corpse."

What?!
