Zhu Dingxiang let go of little Chibi and jump down from the tree and walk toward the Flame Gorilla slowly. As he focuses his sight on the spiritual beast before him, a faint blue holographic screen appears before his eyes.
[Name: None]
[Species: Flame Gorilla.]
[Bloodlines: Mid-Stage Mortal Rank.]
[Cultivation: Mid-Stage 2 spiritual beast.]
[Innate ability: Flame fist.]
[Description: An adult Flame Gorilla that already exhausted most of its strength.]
Looking at the Flame Gorilla's status, Zhu Dingxiang walked over slowly, seeming carefree, but he didn't let his guard down, albeit this beast doesn't pose any threat to the current him.
Because Zhu Dingxiang swore in his heart that he would not underestimate any opponent or enemy because that habit might come to bite him in the future.
While exploring the forest the previous day, Zhu Dingxiang is already getting used to his body and strength, so he doesn't have to torture himself through practice battles.
Sensing some movements behind it, the Flame Gorilla turns back and sees a human walking toward it slowly.
Because Zhu Dingxiang cultivates nature Qi, his body doesn't give off any fierce aura or any pressure but instead emitting a calm and soothing atmosphere like he is one with nature.
After sensing that this tiny human was only at the first stage(middle) of the Qi condensation realm, the Flame Gorilla doesn't put Zhu Dingxiang in its eyes at all.
Besides, this puny human doesn't give off any scary feeling at all. But as the Flame Gorilla seeing this tiny human still dare to walk toward it slowly like it doesn't exist.
The Flame Gorilla erupted with anger at the blatant disrespect; it gives a big grunt before running toward Zhu Dingxiang and throwing him a heavy punch covering in a hot flame.
Zhu Dingxiang didn't dodge the incoming fist, but he decides to confront it head-on before throwing out a punch of his own. The Flame Gorilla seeing this weak human, didn't turn around and run away but choose to engage it face to face, enraging it even more.
But the next moment when their fist collided, making a "Boooom!" sound, and clouds of dust covering the area.
From the dust clouds, the blurry figure of a staggering five-meter tall giant was pushed back and took more than five steps back before an angry howl resounding the area.
When the dust was clear, Zhu Dingxiang could look perfectly fine, although his right fist having a slight red bruise and burn marks, that too was quickly gone away in a few seconds because of his robust regeneration rate.
Opposite to Zhu Dingxiang, the Flame Gorilla looked at him with hatred as its right fist was bleeding and caved in a little. Seeing the intense hatred in the Flame Gorilla's eyes, Zhu Dingxiang decides to end its life and give it a quick death.
Zhu Dingxiang channeled his nature Qi outside his body before thick vines and tree roots rise from the earth and restraining the Flame Gorilla.
Surprised and irritated, the Flame Gorilla struggling to break out of the binding, but no matter what it did, the severed vines and roots would grow out repeatedly and keep restraining it from getting away.
Pook*
Suddenly a sharp wooden spike covered in thick natural Qi pierce through the Flame Gorilla's forehead in the blink of an eye. Inside Flame Gorilla's mind at the last moment, it was confused.
It was the lord of the surrounding area, and it has been guarding its treasure for a long time by killing off any invaders. It keeps dreams of becoming stronger and conquering the world while having countless wives by its side.
The Flame Gorilla keep staring at Zhu Dingxiang blankly before the light inside its eyes faded away.
Seeing the Flame Gorilla's carcass collapse on the ground as the vines and roots move back into the earth. Zhu Dingxiang couldn't help but sight softly.
It's not because he's too soft-hearted but because it genuinely doesn't feel good to take its life away. Besides, the bloody sight is disturbing.
But Zhu Dingxiang acknowledges that he had to get used to these feelings because this is a world where strength reigns supreme; he needs to have a cold heart when the situation requires him to be.
He then called to little Chibi to fly over since the threat is gone. Zhu Dingxiang walks toward the thing that all these spiritual beasts have been fighting for.
It looks like a small tree bonsai tree about 1 meter tall with light yellow leaves; on it was five small red color fruit that is just ripe and releasing a dense sweet fragrant.
[Plant Type: Blood cleansing tree]
[Grade: Early-tier Human Rank.]
[Description: A spiritual plant that will grow blood cleansing fruit once every 30 years. The duration can shorten if grown in a rich spiritual Qi environment and increase in quality the more spiritual Qi it absorbs.]
[Blood Cleansing Fruit: (Peak-tier) Mortal Rank]
[Description: consumed to purify the body and improve bloodline to higher purity and contain a large amount of spiritual Qi. Very useful toward those under the foundation establishment realm.]
Zhu Dingxiang was very surprised, and his mood improved, as this spiritual plant is precious.
Through chanting the "Life-saving commonsense sutra." Zhu Dingxiang understood that because the spiritual Qi concentration in the Great Sun continent is shallow, this makes cultivation resources extremely scarce even though the continent is massive.
Whenever an Earth-grade treasure appeared, it would lead to fierce competition between the supreme power on the continent regardless of its tier. For Zhu Dingxiang to encounter a Human rank spiritual plant with ripe fruits, one could say that he is very fortunate.
Smiling brightly, Zhu Dingxiang starts to collect all the blood cleansing fruits and dig up the entire tree and keep it in his storage ring.
Content with himself, Zhu Dingxiang then glancing around and sees a lot of injured spiritual beasts and dead ones. Thinking for a moment, Zhu Dingxiang walks toward a grey fur wolf and starts healing it.
[You have gained 1 karma point.]
"Yup! Just as I expected, healing a wounded wolf will give me karma point because it's considered a benevolence act." Said Zhu Dingxiang as he walks toward the wounded Rock Bull.
The grey fur wolf gets up weakly, staring at the back of Zhu Dingxiang for a moment, and looks at the corpse of the Flame Gorilla before turning around and walk away quickly.
Arrived before the Rock bull, Zhu Dingxiang raised his right hand and channeling his nature Qi before green vines as thick as an arm raise from the ground and start healing it although very slowly.
Not satisfied with the speed, Zhu Dingxiang summoned his martial spirit "Divine Spiritual Tree."
A 9-meter tall tree with its trunk bending to a side with an artistic shape and blooming tree branches with leaves releasing faint green light connected to a small island about 7 meters diameter appeared behind Zhu Dingxiang.
The moment his martial spirit appeared, the healing vines become more vigorous and speeding up the healing process. About a minute later, the Rock bull's bloody wounds already closed up and healed with the Green Lizard poison purified from its body.
[You gained 5 karma points.]
