Chapter 5

Sky Mountains extended three hundred miles across the Sky Dragon Empire. Sky Cloud Sect was one of the four major super sects in Sky Dragon Empire that monopolized the Sky Mountains resources.

This Sky Mountains had become a training heaven for the ten thousand disciples of Sky Cloud Sect but no one had dared to go forth into the depths of the mountain range. There was a legend that the unrivaled demonic beasts lay deep within Sky Mountains.

Li Lingtian was only a Tier Three Warrior so, of course, he would not be so dumb to give his life away by entering the depths.

After leaving the sect, Li Lingtian swiftly made way inside the mountain range. A powerful Warrior would not rely solely on talent and Warrior soul, but he or she would also require other exterior resources.

Pills, he had no possession of.

Weapons, he too had no possession of.

Skills, neither did he have possession of.

All he had was the Heaven and Earth Reincarnation, a Flaming Warrior Soul, and an Ice Vitality Warrior Soul which he had no control over!

In order to get his hands on these, he must bet his bottom dollar in killing the demonic beasts and exchange their Inner Vital for spiritual stones.

People traded skills and techniques with spiritual stones in Sky Cloud Sect. This way, the sect was able to replenish its resources while at the same allowing its disciples to gain experience.

After making it into the mountain range, he came across many peripheral disciples on the way and they were all in groups. A Warrior Apprentice disciple was not capable of killing even the lowest level demonic beast so the only option was to team up.

“The senior brother ahead, please wait.” A sonorous voice was heard.

“Mm, can I help you?”

Puzzled, Li Lingtian turned around to look at the person talking before he asked.

“Are you also going into the mountain range to hunt demonic beasts?”

Xue Da examined Li Lingtian’s cultivation level. The cultivation of a Tier Three Warrior may be a little low but it was an extra pair of hands if they joined forces.

“…”

“I was thinking that it might be dangerous for you to venture alone into the mountain range. So why don’t we form a team and divide our resources evenly? We have three fellow disciples with us and with you on board, our chances would be better.”

“Do you often go in there to hunt demonic beasts?”

Li Lingtian fixed his eyes on this huge build, six-foot-tall man before him. He could tell at first glance that this man, who was releasing a heavy stench of Earth-path True Qi had an Earth-path Warrior Soul and he was proficient in defense-type techniques.

A Tier Five Warrior would indeed be of great help. After all, it was his first time slaughtering demonic beasts so he needed a strong team.

“Of course.”

“Okay, I agree.”

“Let me introduce you. I’m Xue Da, this is Shangguan Linger, this is Chen Yun, and that is Lan Luo. They are a great asset to the team.”

Xue Da introduced the three fellow disciples who stood a short distance behind him. One of them was a Tier Four Warrior. Although this sixteen or seventeen-year-old young girl did not have a heart-stopping appearance, she had radiant looks.

There was also a young man called Chen Yun in his twenties who was a Tier Six Warrior. The last person with a face of disdain was Lan Luo, and he was a Tier Seven Warrior.

“Humph, why look for a Tier Three Warrior trash, Xue Da? Wouldn’t he hold us back?”

Lan Luo stared at Li Lingtian with growing contempt. Refusing to pay Li Lingtian any respect, he called him trash.

“Senior Brother Lan, we are all fellow disciples. You.” Shangguan Linger frowned and rebuked at the sight of Lan Luo insulting this unfamiliar disciple.

“Alright, let’s hit the road. We’ll divide the work as we go.”

Xue Da mediated the dispute in chuckles. Now with a team of five, it should be smooth-sailing as long as they did not come face to face with a first-tier peak demonic beast.

Soon, they distributed the work. Lan Luo was in charge of class seven and above demonic beasts while anything lower than class seven demonic beasts would be taken care by Shangguan Linger and Chen Yun. With an Earth-path Warrior Soul, Xue Da focused on defense, leaving Li Lingtian to play it by ear.

Li Lingtian never once refuted and he merely kept a faint smile on his face.

Amongst the lot, Li Lingtian had the lowest cultivation level, even Shangguan Ling’s was a Tier Four Warrior.

“Be careful, a first-tier class six Blue Lion Beast.”

The group had not traveled far when they came across a behemoth lion. Li Lingtian was stunned. This lion, covered in blue from head to toe was no different in appearance to the lion in his past life but it was much larger in size and it emitted an overpowering vicious aura.

“Chen Yun, I’ll cover so you lure the Blue Lion Beast for Shangguan Linger to attack,” Xue Da raised his voice before he moved in a flash to pounce at the Blue Lion Beast.

As a gray ring materialized around him, a heavy Earth-path pressure was released.

In the meantime, Chen Yun struck the Blue Lion Beast with his faintly shimmering long sword.

“Roar.”

The Blue Lion Beast let out a roar at these weak humans who dared attack it. Then, it threw its humongous body at Xue Da, ignoring Chen Yun’s sword completely.

“Cloud High Arrow.”

During that time, Shangguan Linger promptly completed a series of actions by bending her knees, stooping down, and widening her arms. A silver exquisite bow appeared in her left arm while her right arm pulled back to cast a silver arrow. The movement motioned fluidly in one go.

“Swoosh.”

“Roar.”

A subtle sound whizzed through the air and a blood-curdling cry was heard almost simultaneously. With the silver arrow penetrating the Blue Lion Beast’s head, it breathed its last breath and collapsed onto the ground.

Li Lingtian kept his shock under wraps at the group’s flawless teamwork. Although it was only a first-tier class six demonic beast, its ability was comparable to a Tier Six Warrior. He would not be able to defeat this Blue Lion Beast alone.

The Blue Lion Beast could not put up a fight against this joint force, particularly towards Shangguan’s arrow. Its impact was tremendous, highly destructive, and extremely fast.

Similar to human Warriors, demonic beasts were classified from first to ninth tier and each tier could be split into nine classes. A first-tier demonic beast was equal to a Warrior while a second-tier demonic beast was comparable to a Warrior Spirit.

However, demonic beasts were more capable than humans. If demonic beasts and humans of similar rank were put together, humans would have to go the other way.

“Hehe, a class six Inner Vital. The skin should also be worth some spiritual stones.”

Xue Da stepped forward and retrieved the Blue Lion Beast’s Inner Vital with a knife. The Inner Vital that was the size of an infant’s fist had a faint demonic stench on it.

Seeing that Xue Da was drawing materials from the class six demonic beast in no time, Li Lingtian nodded secretly. He was definitely a seasoned master in vanquishing demonic beasts.

After taking care of the Blue Lion Beast, the group swiftly made their departure to head further in. The materials of a Blue Lion Beast were not enough to share among the party of five.

As they ventured forward, they had to kill class six and seven demonic beasts until they arrived 30 miles within the mountains. During those times, Li Lingtian had never once made a move.

It was all the work of Xue Da, Shangguan Linger, and Chen Yun while Lan Luo kept his nose in the air, looking down on Li Lingtian and the rest. Li Lingtian never had the chance to prove himself but he did end up a porter.

“We have to stay alert now. The last demonic beast we killed was a class seven. The demonic beasts inside will be stronger. We’ll stay around the border so don’t go further in,” Out of good nature, Xue Da reminded Li Lingtian.

He did not hold Li Lingtian’s Tier Three Warrior cultivation in contempt. Moreover, Li Lingtian was only fourteen or fifteen-years-old and although he had an adolescent build, he was still a pubescent within the group.

“Roar.”

As if to prove Xue Da’s point, the loud bellow thumped hard on their eardrums.

“Stormy Flare Beast, first-tier class eight.”

Xue Da and the two others cried in shock. This class eight Stormy Flare Beast had the strength of a class nine and it would strike with rather valiant flame attacks.

“Humph, it’s only a class eight Stormy Flare Beast,” Lan Luo coldly blurted with a face of disdain.

“A class eight Stormy Flare Beast is comparable to a class nine demonic beast. Now we’ll have a good view of Senior Brother Lan Luo’s prowess.” Chen Yun smiled as he carefully studied Lan Luo’s face.

There was no assurance that they could kill a class eight Stormy Flare Beast, but they should be thanking their lucky stars if they could even escape.

“Don’t we have Senior Brother Li Lingtian here? Did Xue Da seek a person out just to divide our spoils?”

Lan Luo peered at Li Lingtian. Both of them were the only ones who had yet initiated a strike throughout the journey. He had a good reason for it because it was decided early on that class seven and below demonic beasts were not within his job scope.

However, Li Lingtian had stood aside the whole time. So, Lan Luo resorted to taking a heartless route and pushed Li Lingtian forward. Since a Tier Three Warrior stood no chance against a class eight demonic beast, there would be one less person to share the Inner Vital.

“Senior Brother Lan Luo, Senior Brother Li is only a Tier Three Warrior. How can he defeat the Stormy Flare Beast? Aren’t you sending him to his death?”

Shangguan Linger was dumbstruck by Lan Luo’s words. Her stiffened face said a lot about her distaste towards Lan Luo’s actions.

“Alright, leave it to me,” Li Lingtian dully replied.

Giving Lan Luo a cold stare and mysterious smile, Li Lingtian came forth in a flash.

As he did not cultivate any motion skill, he moved at the speed of a Warrior.

“Senior Brother Li, please hold your horses. Don’t act on impulse,” Shangguan Linger shouted out loud at Li Lingtian who had made his way to less than twenty yards away from the Stormy Flare Beast.

A Tier Three Warrior was no match for a class eight demonic beast. She thought Li Lingtian must have been ticked off by Lan Luo to be giving his life away.

“Let’s go at it together.”

“Be careful.”

Noticing that Li Lingtian was ignoring them, Xue Da and Chen Yun broke out in cold sweat. Though they were only a temporary party, Lan Luo’s doing still aroused disgust.

Hence, the duo swiftly went after Li Lingtian. They should be able to keep the Stormy Flare Beast’s single blow in check if they teamed up.

However, it had never sprung to their minds that Li Lingtian would stride with all his might and charge at the Stormy Flare Beast. Moving seven yards with each step, he took a nosedive towards the demonic beast.

For a moment, Xue Da and the rest were gobsmacked and baffled by Li Lingtian. Was he seeking a death wish?
