One of Tangsu Ming's team members approached and whispered,
"Boss, it seems the rumors were true!"
When Tangsu Ming heard this, he was even more annoyed.
"Damn it, this poor guy must have gotten stronger by refining that two tailed scorpions' demon core to defeat all of us."
"Bastard"
In his eyes, the students of the other classes were nothing but scum. He dared to take the materials and kill points of the demon beast from their hands. But if he stole the top prize given by the principal, that would be equivalent to slapping the face of the academy's principal.
Although he didn't necessarily need the early stage rank one demon core but an rank 2 intermediate stage demon beast is hard to get even for his clan.
However considering his clan's resources, he could step into the next realm at any time. thus His status in the family will be very high in the clan. it will be many easy to obtain the demon core of the beast and pills. But the loss of face was something he couldn't bear.
"Is it funny to kill rank two demon beasts? The demon beasts in this trial ground are not yours. I saw that they could be hunted, and those I hunted are naturally mine." Lu Shen sneer at student with big smile.
Tangsu ming: "..."
Everyone: "...."
"fu*k"
Students turned their gaze to Lu Shen who bragged at their faces and they felt embarrassed as Lu Shen's words were somehow true.
He wasn't afraid of offending Tangsu Ming and the other students. As long as he obtained the core of an intermediate level demon beast, he could definitely be promoted to the next realm in a short time with his talent. He could constantly devour monsters from the origin land to improve his bloodline grade. His future achievements were far beyond what Tangsu Ming and others could match.
Besides, at the Azura Base, Tangsu Ming could, at most, cause him some minor trouble. However, if Tangsu Ming dared to go too far, he would make Tangsu Ming regret it. Additionally, killing is prohibited in the Azura Cloud Stronghold.
"Lu Shen, just wait and see!"
Tangsu Ming also knew that it was useless to talk too much and he was not a match for Lu Shen. So he glared at Lu Shen and left. Others also looked unhappy at Lu Shen but didn't say anything because they knew that Tangsu Ming would deal with Lu Shen, so they just waited quietly.
.....
The trial was over.
Lu Shen felt a gentle nudge on his clothes and he found a beautiful girl smiling at him.
"'Lu Shen, you're hiding deep" Wang Mei said with a warm smile,
Lu Shen glanced up to see Wang Mei standing beside him and he knew she was third in trial ground. She had long blue hair and a beautiful face, with black blue eyes staring at him. He didn't know what to say, as he wasn't used to talking to girls other than Feng Yue.
"what.."
Before Lu Shen talk with Wang Mei, group of students began to gather around them, they congratulate Lu Shen and Wang Mei.
Among them were several girls, their eyes sparkling with admiration as they exchanged words of praise with Lu Shen and Wang Mei.
Lu Shen and Wang Mei found themselves not knowing what to do. So, they began to talk with their fellow students from their class.
After struggling with their classmates,
finally, they got rid of them.
"Lu Shen, give me your number" Wang Mei asked.
"But why?" Lu Shen was taken by suddenly a beautiful girl asking for his number.
"Fool, this single beautiful girl is asking you for your number. Are you rejecting me?" Wang Mei pouted.
"No, no, I will give it" Lu Shen slightly flustered,
Wang Mei laughed heartily as she looked at Lu Shen's easily blushing face. She had expected Lu Shen to be cold towards everyone after winning first place, which only piqued her interest in him further. After exchanging contacts, Wang Mei winked at Lu Shen and then disappeared into the crowd.
"...."
"What the hell, today what's happening? Everyone is winking at me" Lu Shen felt more confused by the day's events.
Meanwhile, Fang Yue watching Lu Shen bid farewell to Wang Mei with a warm smile and laughter, and they talked about meeting again soon, she couldn't shake unease feeling within her heart. She subconsciously clenched her hands, feeling angry toward Lu Shen.
Approaching Lu Shen, Fang Yue smiled,
"Well, well, Lu Shen, are you very popular with the girls?"
Lu Shen was jolted out by Fang Yue's words and he felt cold in his back.
"it's not like that"
"Feng Yue, what happened?" Lu Shen asked in confusion at Feng Yue's half angry, half smiling expression.
Seeing Lu Shen's confused expression, Fang Yue became even angrier.
"you Fool!"
"Nothing, humph"she replied curtly, without looking at him as she headed home.
"shit..."
Girls are indeed hard to understood by anybody.
...
At Lu Shen's home.
Lu Shen acquired two rank intermediate stage demon beast core and ten thousand dollars.
"Two rank 2 intermediate stage demon beast core should allow me to practice for five days, enough to increase my refinement realm to 95%, or even more" Lu Shen roughly estimated.
His strength of late stage refinement realm combined with the ability of speed and others is enough to make his combat power overwhelm any peak stage refinement realm warrior and he is not be much weaker even compared with the warrior who has just been promoted to integration realm.
"By the way, I don't know what the effect of the spiritual dew that I got is. I have to check it as soon as possible!"
Lu Shen also hoped that the spiritual dew would greatly improve his cultivation. Maybe he could be promoted to an integration realm early stage.
In the 100 years of the apocalypse, he doesn't know how many strange treasures have been born, so naturally, some people have sorted out the treasure information in a database which he can access by void watch. This is to prevent warriors from entering the wild and missing the treasures.
Lu Shen turned on void watch and began to search and he found many books on natural treasures.
Lu Shen turned the pages one by one and finally found the record about spiritual dew after flipping through many pages.
[Spiritual dew: it is formed by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth for a hundred years. It has the effect of improving cultivation techniques mastery and it is only effective for the proficiencies up to Intermediate level. it only affect on below integration realm warriors ]
Looking at this introduction, Lu Shen was short of breath.
"Why didn't I ask the Spirit of the Bracelet about this at that time?"
"Hey, are you there?"
"Yes, yes, why are you disturbing me from my sleep?"
"What are you doing sleeping while I'm fighting for my life?" Lu Shen asked, feeling shocked.
"What do you call this fight, in front of real warriors? This is playing house" the spirit said sarcastically.
"...."
"Yeah, yeah, we are playing house"
Seeing Lu Shen pouting like a child, the spirit took a long breath.
"Yeah, I am monitoring you. If your life were threatened, I could make a move and teleport you inside the origin a gate hall, but you know that I am recovering, so I can't always help as I don't have much ability. As you help me recover, my abilities will become stronger"
"And I didn't talk with you because you needed a real combat experience, but you did better than the average person."
"Are you happy now?" the spirit teased Lu Shen.
"Yes, and stop reading my thoughts" Lu Shen felt embarrassed that the spirit knew what he was thinking.
"Haha, little kid, take rest. you should devour demons to improve the grade of your bloodline. You can use intermediate demons core to have a greater effect" the spirit thought for some time, then suggested to Lu Shen.
Lu Shen after thinking for a moment,
"Yes, I thought the same too"
Lu Shen accepted the spirit's suggestion because he also felt that if he had a superior grade bloodline, then refining intermediate demon core would have a greater effect.
"Even though the spirit advised me to rest, I should at least try using the spiritual dew" Lu Shen decided to use spiritual dew.
He then took out the spiritual dew from his storage space.
Glup glup!
After consuming it, Lu Shen began to cultivate. As he focused on the five refinement element techniques, the energy from the spiritual dew surged into his brain. Next, he felt a warm sensation spreading throughout his body.
With each passing moment, Lu Shen's understanding of the techniques deepened. His mind became clearer and he could sense the elements around him more clearly. The spiritual dew not only replenished his energy but also seemed to amplify his connection to the elemental energy he was refining.
He continued to meditate, Lu Shen entered a state of profound state. The elements began to harmonize within him, resonating in perfect balance. He could feel his cultivation base rising, inching closer to a breakthrough. His breathing steadied, and his body glowed with a faint, red-green light.
"What? I got such a simple thing wrong? Ha ha, how easy it is to cultivate! This, this, and that should be done to cultivate this way..."
After spending nearly two hours fully using the spiritual dew, Lu Shen felt that he could now cultivate wood element spiritual energy along with the fire element of the five element refinement cultivation techniques.
After the long cultivation, Lu Shen felt as if he had taken a step forward in his understanding of the five element refinement techniques. he felt wood element while cultivating.
[Host: Lu Shen

It wasn't that he couldn't use wood element spiritual energy before, but during the cultivation of the five elements refinement techniques, he could only refine his bloodline using fire element spiritual energy.
However, now that his mastery of the fire elements had increased to the big success level, he unlocked the next chapter to cultivate wood element spiritual energy.
"It's a pity that I can only increase my proficiency in techniques by this much with the spiritual dew" Lu Shen felt a little pity.
He still had two other techniques to cultivate, and the spiritual dew was only enough for the five element refinement techniques.
At this moment, he also understood why the two tailed scorpion was able to break through its racial restrictions and be promoted to the level of a rank two beast.
"It's a pity that I destroyed that place. I don't think I can get more chances like that, but I think I can find similar treasures in the origin land."
Lu Shen made plans for what to do before graduation. He ate some demon meat and went to sleep.
The next morning.
Lu Shen washed his face and entered the origin land.
Lu Shen entered the gate of the origin land, he suddenly felt a shock in his brain, and his consciousness sank into darkness.
When he regained consciousness, what greeted him was the fresh smell of grass brushing against his face. As he opened his eyes and saw the familiar forest.
"It's time to devour many demon beasts to increase my strength"
His lips curled up in a smile as he scanned the surroundings, the light flashing across his eyes.
Then, he begin his search for demon beasts.
.....
Soon, Lu Shen spotted a huge white boor devouring other demon beasts ahead.
