Chapter 27: Unleashing the Inner Beast
As the adrenaline coursed through his veins and the remnants of his battle with the Red Gore Wolf faded, Denny Cing was left in a state of awe and exhilaration. The exhilaration was twofold - the exhilaration of triumph over a formidable opponent and the astonishment at his own newfound strength.
He couldn't help but marvel at the fact that he, a warrior of the War Realm, had managed to defeat a beast of the Sky Realm. It defied the norms of cultivation, and he couldn't suppress his excitement. Thoughts raced through his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder, "Grand Elder Han said that when I break through to the Law Realm, I will ascend to the Sky Realm within a month. Does this mean that I'll be able to contend with Light Realm experts soon?"
Driven by a desire to explore the extent of his newfound power, Denny Cing delved deeper into the forest, seeking out stronger opponents. He yearned to understand the true limits of his strength.
However, in the outer fringes of the forest, another group lurked in the shadows. They were known as the Banju Bandits, a formidable team of marauders. Comprising 15 War Realm experts, all at the 3rd level, 4 Law Realm experts, with one at the 1st level, two at the 2nd level, and one at the 3rd level, and finally, a Sky Realm expert who led them, a cultivator at the 2nd level of the Sky Realm.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, they conversed in hushed tones. "Boss, aside from that kid from the Bull Fight Sect, we've got representatives from the Ghost Skull Sect and the Blue Whale Sect. They must be carrying some valuable treasures. This is our lucky day!" they exclaimed, their voices filled with excitement.
Meanwhile, deep within the forest, the combined team from the Blue Whale Sect and the Ghost Skull Sect pressed on. Gu Chang, with his cold demeanor, questioned Jiang Meijer, "Are you certain that the Janku Cat possesses three Jade Sky Essence Fruits?"
Jiang Meijer responded with confidence, "Yes, I've seen it carrying them to its small cave."
The Janku Cat was a cunning and resilient creature, smaller in size but incredibly strong. It was known to be wary of Yin Ghost power, which was why Jiang Meijer had enlisted Gu Chang's help for this venture.
The Jade Sky Essence Fruits were of utmost importance. They had the unique ability to strengthen one's body and further refine the Heaven and Earth energy within a cultivator's body, making breakthroughs to the next level swift and efficient. The teams coveted these fruits, recognizing the potential they held to enhance their chances in the upcoming Grand Competition.
