With all the methods and treasures they had acquired , Long Jia , Long Wan and Long Tian had become super-efficient killing machines at their levels and the outer edges of the Great Forest had become their hunting ground
As a result of their actions , and throughout their time in the Great Forest since the battle with the Blood Hyena Pack, the three had slaughtered 540 Level 2 Spiritual Beasts, 207 Level 3 Spiritual Beasts, 98 Level 4 Spiritual Beasts and 27 Level 5 Spiritual Beasts
Among all these Spiritual Beasts , they had found 21 Mutated Spiritual Beasts
An achievement that would make many people's eyes pop out with envy on the one hand , while on the other hand , it proved to them that their aunt's conclusion was correct and that a Wave of Beasts would definitely occur in this area in a few decades or years . They had observed for themselves how the demand for Long Jia's products and medicines had increased within the village , which made it clear to them that they were not the only ones aware of what was happening around them
Also , Tian and Wan had managed to kill a Level 5 Spiritual Beast on their own , and although they had relied on attacks Treacherous and cunning , however , all of this did not make their achievement any less valuable in the slightest
A Third-Level Martial Apprentice defeating a Fifth-Level Spiritual beast on his own could be considered a legend in the Mysterious Continent , let alone a Second-Level Martial Apprentice
If it weren't for their weapons and terrifying physical strength after upgrading their Mastery in the First Part of Asura Body to the Basic Level , and with the Earth Fighter Technique that Tian had also spent 500 Energy Points for him and his family to upgrade their Mastery in it to the Basic Level as well , facing a Fourth-Level Spiritual beast alone would have been almost impossible for them , let alone a Fifth-Level one
In the Great Forest
Tian took a deep breath , after his battle with a Fourth-Level Spiritual beast had ended , then he checked his informations

[Energy Points]: 6200
Although it seemed like a large amount , but 6200 Energy Points were not enough to even slightly alleviate the needs of Tian and his family at this stage
Long Tian's Energy Points gain has become much faster than before thanks to his wisdom and proper spending in the first stage , but at the same time , his spending now is several times faster than that
Well , he and his family need to become stronger in the end quickly , otherwise they might be swallowed up without even realizing how or why it happened
He had witnessed a real battle between two high-level existences with his own eyes and he could confidently say that any occasional wave of attacks from the two would definitely vaporize him
Tian had been observing the village's strong members , such as the Martial Warriors and knights , for this entire period of time , observing their training , their battles , and even their simple daily behaviors
Hell , they were another type of existence with extremely arrogant and ferocious minds
Long Tian knew very well that ther were only two reasons for them not having suffered any disasters up until now
The first was that they were his aunt's acquaintances and friends who visited her from time to time , checking up on her , and many did not want to provoke them , especially since there were many Martial knights among them
Every time he saw them , Tian's body trembled and became so tight and he feels like he is in the company of human dinosaurs and not beautiful middle-aged women despite all the pampering and care they give him
It seems that his aunt Long Jia was part of their organization when she was young and unfortunately had to leave after her injuries , but she maintained good relations with them especially since she was their most prominent new talent at that time and took care of many of them and helped them in their training
During these months , his aunt provided that organization with many excellent Pills and medical Potions after Tian advised her to do so , which led to the group's interest in her increasing again
They call themselves the Poisonous Rose Mercenaries and they seem to have branches in many neighboring villages and cities and their headquarters is in the Capital of the Heavenly Snake Kingdom
Tian's eyes lit up as soon as he realized the existence and size of this organization , and he did not sleep at all that night as he imagined how to control it
This organization simply formed what he imagined his organization would reach in a few decades , and if he could control it now , with his ability he would achieve rocket progress in that period
While despite his cultivation methods were of an extremely high Level , but the pace of the body's progress and absorption of Spiritual Energy and its assimilation to improve took a long time in the end , and the desire to shorten it too much might lead to many injuries and problems
On Tian's way back from the forest , he kept thinking about Ruru who hadn't returned home for over 7 months and had only sent them letters , periodically reporting her progress and her good condition
Although her progress with them would have been much better , joining the Black Snake Academy had some advantages that they couldn't do without
The most obvious one was the layer of protection it added to the family , as it was the most obvious reason why they didn't encounter any problems from the lower-level ones who were unaware of the existence of the Poisonous Rose Mercenaries and how terrifying they were
The academy itself was an extremely terrifying presence in the area , and was directly subordinate to the heavenly snake Academy in the Royal City
Even in the territory of the Black Snake City , the city leader only had partial control over it and had no right to interfere in its affairs
Why ?
Because all of its members were Talents that the Heavenly Snake Kingdom relied heavily on in the future to protect its vast territory and prevent invasions from Spiritual beasts , foreign races , and even humans
' Maybe we should go on a trip to visit it ? '
' We also have many items to sell there ! '
' Thinking about it , there are indeed many things we need to do , but in the end it will take more time '
' Rushing to do it is a good thing , but blind haste will lead us to an endless series of disasters '
After Tian entered the house , his aunt welcomed him and he talked to her for a while , then entered his room
He examined his body carefully and after seeing the development that had occurred in him , especially after he upgraded his Earth Fighter Mastery to the Basic Level , his eyes shone with determination and sharpness and he decided to try upgrading his Mastery of the first part of Asura's body again
[ Impossible ]
Suddenly , a screen appeared in his mind that made it clear to him that this mastery could not be achieved until his body exceeded a certain threshold in strength , flexibility and vitality , otherwise performing the movements and postures in his head with his current body would not be considered training and would directly lead to serious injuries
He thought for a while and then chose to upgrade the exercise directly and not the mastery , so 5000 Energy Points were consumed and a huge amount of informations flowed into his head , making him feel severe pain and feeling as if his head It will explode
[Energy Points]: 1200
After 30 minutes
" Phew ~~ !! "
" It seems that iwill never get used to this feeling ! "
Tian closed his eyes and mentally reviewed the informations he had gained this time
The second part of the Immortal Grade Technique Asura Body
The First Part was 50 different postures that stimulate the contraction of the body's muscles and harness all its energy to perform them
The Second Part is very different from it , as this time it is 100 movements , where the practitioner needs to perform a certain posture and then move after it in a specific rhythm and these movements are performed like the positions of the first part with a specific breathing rhythm to get the most out of them
Tian's body moved slowly and performed the positions of the first part before starting to perform the movements of the second part
Slowly and with a strange but steady breathing rhythm , Tian maintained his focus and followed the movements in his mind slowly and accurately
" Aaaaagh "
In the middle of performing the first movement , Tian felt a severe pain spreading through his body , so he stopped immediately and fell to the ground and lost consciousness
His aunt heard his screams , so she quickly entered his room and examined him well , and after seeing his situation , she bathed him and helped him lie down in his bed
