Chapter 8, Slaying the White Crane

How exhilarating! I have suddenly reached level 16, which means I have broken through the Qi Refinement stage and entered the Warrior level. Moreover, I have directly advanced to the mid-Warrior stage, specifically Warrior level 6. Warrior level 6! I have jumped from Qi Refinement level 9 to Warrior level 6 in an instant. This Great White Crane is truly impressive. If I can take care of the White Snake as well, will I then enter the Master level?

Ding, the white crane's dual wings have successfully recognized their master

Soul-Consolidating Pill

Yang Lei gasped in shock; had he been pecked just now, he would surely have gone blind at home. He was furious, utterly furious, and swiftly approached the white crane, launching a lethal strike in an instant

Flying, although it is said that one can achieve this at the Martial Emperor realm, it cannot be compared to these wings. Speed is related to strength; with these wings, as long as there is still true energy within oneself, one can fly. Even at the higher Martial Emperor realm, flying will still consume a certain amount of true energy, which is certainly much more than what these wings require. Moreover, the speed of the wings is evidently faster. Furthermore, the wings have no restrictions; once one recognizes them as their own, they can be used. This is truly a supreme artifact for escape. With these wings, if one cannot win, they can simply flee. Unless one is at the Martial Emperor realm, who could possibly catch up to me? It is simply amazing. With this, one could even laugh in their dreams.

It seems that the White Snake's advancement will take some time, so I might as well take a look at the few items I just obtained

With one hand each, two fruits were picked down.

Do you want this Yin Yang fruit

Wind attribute low-grade spirit weapon, can recognize a master, increases attack speed by 10%, increases attack power by 10%, and can grow.

Touch

Level 8 wind system magic core, which can be used for alchemy, artifact refining, and cultivation, is extremely rare

Hiss... Yang Lei couldn't help but gasp in shock. Attack power increased by 10%, attack speed increased by 10%. This is not the most formidable aspect; the most terrifying part is the potential for growth in its attributes. Although it is currently a low-grade spiritual weapon, with an increase of 10% in attack and 10% in speed, what if it evolves into a top-grade spiritual weapon? What if it is upgraded to a divine weapon? It could even potentially grow into a sacred weapon. A sacred weapon, after all, is a legendary armament. If it were to become a sacred weapon, how monstrous would that be? I fear I could sweep across the Chongwu Continent.

"It's time to advance." Looking at the light cocoon, Yang Lei murmured, "This advancement will lead to becoming a sacred beast. Damn it, once I become a sacred beast, I can transform into human form. I wonder if this white snake is male or female. If it's female, she must be a stunning beauty. In that case, white snake, Bai Niangzi, should I make a cameo as Xu Xian?"

Since the White Crane's double wings are so powerful, the remaining two items should not be inferior either

After acknowledging the Lord, Yang Lei immediately spread his wings and attempted to fly

Magic Core

After picking the fruit, Yang Lei returned to the side of the white snake. He saw the white snake gazing eagerly at him, looking at the two pieces of fruit in his hand

Such a great opportunity must not be missed. Yang Lei picked up the dagger and approached the white crane, ready to deliver a fatal blow. However, he did not expect the white crane to suddenly peck fiercely at his eyes.

No need to say more, immediately and right away acknowledge the master

Ding, congratulations to player Yang Lei for obtaining one Level 8 Wind Element Magic Core

Congratulations to player Yang Lei for reaching level 16

After the white snake consumed the Yin-Yang fruit, its entire body began to tremble, gradually emitting a white glow. This glow then transformed into a massive cocoon of light, completely enveloping the white snake.

Ding, congratulations to player Yang Lei for obtaining the sixth-grade Earth-level Soul Condensing Pill and the illustrated book.

Unexpectedly, I was unable to adapt immediately and fell down, which left Yang Lei quite frustrated. However, it was no problem; I would try again, once more, and again. After several failures, I finally managed to grasp the flying skills, albeit with some difficulty.

Yang Lei rubbed his eyes, somewhat unable to believe the reality before him. The White Crane's dual wings were unexpectedly so extraordinary and powerful; it would not be an exaggeration to call it a divine artifact.

Ding, congratulations to player Yang Lei for obtaining the spiritual artifact Wind Concealment

... ...

Upon thinking of this, Yang Lei immediately dismissed the thought, joking that he could not be so ungrateful, as that white snake had just saved his life; one cannot be so shameless in life

The sixth-grade earth-level elixir can be used to solidify the martial soul after entering the Martial Emperor realm

Elixirs are also valuable items, and the remaining one is also a spiritual artifact, a top-grade spiritual artifact

This is truly a weapon in hand, and the world is mine. Incredible, it is truly remarkable. This white crane is indeed an eighth-level magical beast, and what it has contributed is truly extraordinary, like the breath of a deity, unparalleled in its significance.

Ding, congratulations to player Yang Lei for defeating the Emperor-level White Crane, gaining 1,000,000 experience points, 100,000 Qi points, and 1,000 points

White Crane Spreading Its Wings

At that moment, the white snake moved, exerting its last strength, and struck the white crane with its tail, sending the white crane flying far away

Supreme spiritual artifact, can recognize its master. After recognizing a master, it can merge with the individual, transforming into a pair of wings during use, allowing flight in the sky. The speed of flight is correlated with the individual's strength; the stronger the individual, the faster the flight speed.

This Wind System White Crane Magic Core, if sold, would undoubtedly be worth a fortune. Yang Lei immediately put it away. It is worth mentioning that this magic core is not an ordinary item; it is quite rare. Not all magical beasts possess magic cores; only those that have reached level 6 or above can produce them, while magical beasts below level 6 do not have magic cores.

Wind Concealment

The White Snake nodded, thinking to herself, isn't this obvious? If it weren't for wanting the Yin-Yang Fruit, how could I have fought to the death with the White Crane, allowing you to take advantage of the situation?

Ding, congratulations to player Yang Lei for reaching level 10

One is cold, the other is hot; it's a stark contrast. However, I am fortunate that I killed the white crane and advanced; otherwise, I truly wouldn't be able to endure this, Yang Lei thought to himself

This is also a good item; the elixir used to solidify martial souls is undoubtedly a high-grade elixir. Elixirs can be categorized into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow, with each tier further divided into ten grades. The previous Qi Gathering Pill, for instance, is a Yellow Grade 2 elixir, which is considered quite ordinary and is only useful for martial artists at the Qi Refinement level

"Alright, since you want it, here it is." Yang Lei extended the two fruits in his hand towards the White Snake

Ding, congratulations to player Yang Lei for obtaining the spiritual artifact White Crane Wings

As Yang Lei stepped between them, the snake and the crane immediately changed their expressions. The white crane gave him a threatening glare. Yang Lei couldn't help but laugh; this creature, on the verge of death, still dared to glare at him. How foolish, he thought, it was just looking for trouble, and he could use the experience.

Another minute had passed, leaving only five minutes remaining. Yang Lei quickly shifted his attention to the Yin-Yang Fruit in the center of the pond. Jokingly, he thought that with only five minutes left, if he took any longer, the spiritual fruit would be gone. Therefore, Yang Lei did not look at anything else. With a leap, he arrived in front of the Yin-Yang Fruit.

Yang Lei pondered for a moment; as for this Yin-Yang fruit, he had no idea when he would be able to consume it. He might as well give it away, as it was possible that he could obtain a sacred beast. If he were to acquire a sacred beast, it would be a tremendous gain for him. A sacred beast is comparable to a Martial Saint; with a sacred beast to protect him, even the formidable King Yang You would not dare to act against him. As for the likes of Yang Tian and Wang Kui, he could do as he pleased with them.
