nChapter 344: Greater Mastery Body Tempering, Body Mutation, Bear Treasure’s Mystical Power!

nThe Divine Flame Giant fell, but Bear Treasure had not finished cultivating.

nAt this moment, it was naturally time to clean up the battlefield.

n

n

n“There shouldn’t be anything left after the Divine Flame Giant self-destructed… I hope I can find two more Life Origin Stones on the seventh level…”

nWang Che looked around.

nSince it had self-destructed, it would definitely not have any spoils of war left.

nHowever, there should be many good things on the seventh level.

n

n

nThe little caterpillar, who had already transformed into its original form, arrived at the area where the Divine Flame Giant had self-destructed.

nIt spat out the thread and stabbed it into the ground, sensing its surroundings.

n“There’s nothing left…”

nWang Che shook his head.

n

n

n“Ssss!”

nThe little caterpillar shouted. After searching for a while, it seemed to have discovered something good.

n“?”

nWang Che walked over and took a look.

nThe thread emerged from the ground, binding an eyeball-like stone.

n“Eh, this is…”

n

n

nWang Che looked at the stone that looked like an eyeball, “This is the stone eye of the Divine Flame Giant? Didn’t this thing shatter from self-destruction?”

nHe frowned slightly and felt that something was wrong.

nThe stone eye seemed to contain intense earth energy, thick and firm.

nWang Che held it in his hand and pinched it gently.

nThe stone eye suddenly emitted a powerful energy fluctuation that spread out.

n“What toughness!”

nWang Che was surprised.

nThe things on these ancient soul beasts were really strange!

n

n

n“In the previous battle, I didn’t feel anything special about this Divine Flame Giant’s eyes?”

nWhile Wang Che was thinking, soon, the little caterpillar used the thread to dig out another stone eye.

n“With my understanding of ancient soul beasts in this world, I still don’t know enough.”

nWang Che’s understanding of ancient soul beasts was only limited to communicating with the Sky God Dragon and the soul beast encyclopedia.

nWang Che did not know much else.

nMany ancient soul beasts only knew the details. Only the professors who specialized in ancient soul beasts in this world knew the details.

nJust like the mysterious little beast just now.

nIt had never appeared in the soul beast encyclopedia, nor had the Sky God Dragon mentioned it.

nWang Che had never heard of it in detail from other channels, so he could not even say its name.

n“To be able to remain intact from self-destruction… this pair of stone eyes is definitely not simple.” Wang Che used his mental strength to carefully sense this pair of stone eyes.

nOther than sensing the majestic earth energy, it also felt indestructible.

nHe looked at the shape.

nWang Che’s heart jumped, “From my experience, this shape looks like a key?”

n

n

nThe Divine Flame Giant’s stone eye looked irregular, but the edge of the irregularity was very smooth.

nMoreover, it was clearly a pair of stone eyes. Other than the material looking like it, the shape was completely different.

n“The Divine Flame Giant came from the Transversal Peak Cave… Even if this thing is a key, it should be related to the cave…”

nWang Che thought about it. This might be related to the origin of the Divine Flame Giant.

nHowever, Wang Che did not know much about the Divine Flame Giant.

n“Forget it, I’ll put it away first.”

nWang Che put away the pair of stone eyes.

nOther than this pair of stone eyes, the other parts of the Divine Flame Giant were shattered.

nThe little caterpillar did not find anything good.

nFortunately, it found two Life Origin Stones and some high-level resources buried underground, such as nuclear stones and soul plants.

nThey all contained rich earth energy.

n“Alright, at least they have a chance to learn an inherited soul skill.”

nWang Che was very satisfied.

nThen, he came to Bear Treasure.

nBear Treasure was sitting in the air, flames circling its body.

nIt, who had its eyes closed, looked a little silly, especially since it had no fur.

nIts bald head was still reflecting light.

nThe little caterpillar wanted to go up and stroke it with its tail to test the feeling.

nBear Treasure’s Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique had already reached Greater Mastery.

nIts entire body glowed with a faint light. Its skin was red like steel that had been burned by thousands of degrees of heat.

nThere was no roasted scene as the little caterpillar imagined.

nAt this moment, Bear Treasure’s entire body was as hard as steel. The flames burning its body were only tempering the impurities within.

n“It’ll be fine when its temperature drops.”

nWang Che took a look and discovered that Bear Treasure’s eyes were flickering. He could not help but be slightly stunned, “Did it mutate? No, it’s a divine power?”

nThere was a chance that the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique would develop a divine power during the cultivation process.

nThis divine power was a martial cultivation divine power. It was usually related to the body.

nTo be honest, during the tempering process, there was a chance that the intense flames would cause different body parts to mutate.

nDuring the mutation, a divine power appeared.

nThis was how the Body Tempering Technique was. At the later stages, even if one did not cultivate it, they would still develop divine powers.

nThe risks and pain of cultivating various body tempering techniques would always bring huge benefits.

n“It should be a divine power related to the eyes…” Wang Che muttered.

nFrom the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique that Wang Che knew, there were a total of three divine powers that would appear when the eye mutated.

nThe first was the Raging Fire True Eyes. Its eyes burned with true fire. It could absorb flames to increase its strength, or it could shoot out flames and turn them into the Raging Fire True Light to kill the enemy.

nSecondly, it was the Samadhi Spirit Eyes, a divine power born from the tempering of the True Samadhi Fire. It had the powerful ability to see through all illusions and the soul. The actual effect was that it could see through the motive of the opponent and had an extremely strong destructive effect on all illusions. It was extremely helpful in battle.

nThe third was the Earth Golden Eyes. This divine power had no combat effect, but it was actually very powerful. In the cultivation world, the Golden Eyes could see through the terrain of the mountains and see the various rare mineral veins, ores, and natural treasures hidden in the depths of the ground. They obtained a vast amount of resources.

nAccording to the history of the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique, there were only three eye-based divine powers.

nThey were not simple.

nNo matter which divine power it was, it was very helpful to cultivators.

nAs for other eye-based divine powers, no one who cultivated the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique had ever appeared.

n“It’s a pleasant surprise to be able to develop a divine power…”

nAt the later stages of cultivating the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique, there was a chance of producing a divine power.

nDivine powers produced by the mutation of the body had a higher growth potential and stronger effects.

nThe little caterpillar was a little dizzy from Bear Treasure’s sparkling eyes.

nIt wondered what had happened to Bear Treasure.

n“Considering the different energies in this world and the improvement of the Divine Flame Body Tempering Technique…”

nWang Che was not sure if these three eye-based divine powers would appear from the mutation of Bear Treasure’s eyes.

nBefore long, Bear Treasure opened its eyes.

nIn an instant, a spiritual light flashed and the color of Bear Treasure’s body gradually returned to normal.

nThe skin was as tender as a newborn child, but with a slight movement, the skin shrunk like a steel plate.

n“Roar…”

nBear Treasure rubbed its eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

nIt looked around in confusion.

nWhat about the battle?

nIt was over?

nThe little caterpillar knocked Bear Treasure’s head with its tail.

nBang! Bang! Bang!

nIt was like knocking on a wooden fish.

n“…” Bear Treasure.

n“Ssss!” The little caterpillar narrowed its eyes.

nIt meant that its head was getting smoother and smoother.

nBear Treasure touched its head in panic. It was so smooth. Would its fur grow?

n“Don’t worry, it will definitely grow,” Wang Che comforted, “Feel some of your current strength. Isn’t it much stronger than before?”

n“You’ve only become bald temporarily, but you’ve become stronger permanently.”

n“Think about it. Isn’t that good?”

nBear Treasure immediately clenched its bear paw.

nThud!

nThe air cracked.

nAn explosion sounded.

nBear Treasure suddenly emitted an aura like that of a ferocious beast.

nFortunately, there was no testing device present. Otherwise, Bear Treasure felt that it could blow up the machine that tested the strength of a thousand-year soul beast with a punch.

nThe little caterpillar felt that Bear Treasure had become much stronger, but it did not know how strong it had become.

n“Very good. Now, feel your eyes. Is there anything special?” Wang Che asked.

nIts body mutated during cultivation and produced divine powers.

nThis phenomenon was quite hidden.

nCultivators might not notice it immediately.

nIt would often erupt at crucial moments.

nAs for Wang Che, he was personally observing Bear Treasure’s cultivation. Naturally, he guided Bear Treasure to sense the changes in its eyes the first time.

nBear Treasure nodded and howled a few times, feeling its eyes hurt.

nIt did not know what was going on.

n“That’s right!”

nWang Che said, “Your eyes might have mutated. It will let you have some magical abilities, such as the bead that the little caterpillar spat out previously and the special ability like the token.”

nBear Treasure, who was covering its eyes, immediately extended its paw, revealing a pair of sparkling bear eyes.

n‘Ah, is that an ability I can have?’

nBear Treasure was a little excited!

nFrom the first level to the seventh level, in less than three days, the pain it endured was much stronger than the little caterpillar.

nBear Treasure first closed its eyes and sensed the changes in its body.

nThe next moment, it suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes flickered as wisps of energy constantly flowed around its eyes.

nIts eyes seemed to be covered in a layer of shimmering light.

nThe entire world seemed to have changed.

nThe green caterpillar seemed to have become a ball of colorful energy… The change in energy could be seen clearly.

nIt could even see the direction of the little caterpillar’s soul power.

nThe little caterpillar immediately dodged, feeling that Bear Treasure’s eyes seemed to have seen through it.

nIt was very uncomfortable.

nIt felt like it was naked in front of Bear Treasure.

nAlthough… it was naked to begin with.

nBut to the little caterpillar, the skin on its body was equivalent to clothes… Now, in front of Bear Treasure, even the skin seemed to be gone.

nIn fact, the little caterpillar did not even look like anything in Bear Treasure’s eyes. It had only become a ball of colorful energy…

nThe same was true for the Magnetic Sword.

nLooking at the ground, it could also see some subtle energy flow.

nIn the end, it looked at Wang Che and could only see a ball of blazing white light. It hurt its eyes and hurriedly closed them.

n“How was it?” Wang Che asked.

nBear Treasure closed its eyes and explained the situation.

nAfter hearing this, Wang Che pondered.

n“It can see the energy flow of various colors… It can also see it on the ground… It sounds a little like the Earth Golden Eyes… but it can see some of the soul power in the body… This also looks a little like the Samadhi Spirit Eyes?”

n“Could there be a problem with the divine power?”

nDivine powers had just appeared and were different from cultivated divine powers.

nDue to the mutation of the body, the initial effect was not obvious. It would only be obvious after completely adapting to the body.

n“Alright, pack up. Let’s go back.”

nWang Che said, “When we go back, we’ll try the power of your eyes again.”

nBear Treasure nodded excitedly.

nAt this moment, a team of twenty rescue teams flew over.

nWang Che also knew the leader, Adjutant Li of Skyheart City.

n“Oh kid, it’s you? What’s going on?”

nAdjutant Li landed in front of Wang Che and looked around, “We just received a rescue message. It said that there was a fire-shaped Energy Dragon fighting the Divine Flame Giant and even self-destructed… Where’s the Divine Flame Giant? Where’s the Fire Dragon? Where’s the Earth Fire? Where’s the self-destruction? Why is there nothing?”

n“Don’t tell me you caused everything?”

nWang Che smiled. Clearly, this was not done by him.

nIt was that mysterious little beast.

nThe starlight that scattered down made everything disappear.

nEven the Earth Fire was extinguished.

nNot only did it make the Divine Flame Giant’s self-destruction disappear, but even the Fire Dragon formed by using the Capital Divine Fire Token to control the Earth Fire was gone.

n“It has nothing to do with me,” Wang Che said. “I can’t explain the exact situation in a short time. The competition is almost over, right? Let’s go back and talk.”

n“By the way, the Earth Fire suddenly surged out of the underground cave. Did something happen in the underground cave?”

nAdjutant Li pondered for a few seconds and glanced at Wang Che. He did not hide anything, “It’s said that there’s a problem with the Soul Guiding Diagram at the Earth Fire Core. However, it’s not related to the competition. There should be an accident on the seventh level.”

nThen, Adjutant Li instructed a few members to investigate the seventh level before returning with Wang Che.

nIn the air, one could clearly see that most of the Earth Fire in the seven regions had been extinguished.

nOnly a small portion was left.

n“There’s indeed strength in numbers,” Wang Che said.

nThe scorching temperature in the air seemed to have decreased greatly.

n“Kid, you’re amazing.” Adjutant Li stared at Wang Che, “Do you know the results of this competition? It hasn’t been completely calculated yet.”

n“I’m not sure. I haven’t calculated it before.” Wang Che thought for a moment, “My results should be average, right? Forming a team has a bonus score, and it also adds to the total score. I didn’t put out too much Earth Fire.”

nAdjutant Li scolded jokingly, “It’s still the same as before. It’s quite ordinary indeed. Your points are almost comparable to the first team. You’re the only one in the top ten of this competition, although you’re the last one.”

nHearing this, Wang Che was a little surprised, “Are my points that high?”

nTeaming up had various points.

nFor example, Li Yunxiu’s team had a high bonus.

nCoupled with their tacit cooperation, the efficiency of extinguishing the Earth Fire was extremely high. It had the largest area and obtained the most resources.

nThe strength of four people was stronger than one person in the competition.

nNot to mention their respective soul pets.

n“Alright, looking at you, you probably don’t care about this at all.” Adjutant Li smiled and said, “It’s the same as the first time you went to Skyheart City to explore the wilderness. However, thanks to you, the Earth Fire here is finally controlled. There was a problem in the last competition. Fortunately, there were no casualties.”

n“Overall, it was a success. However, your performance on the way made us exclaim.”

n“The other teams have outstanding comprehensive abilities, but they’re not as outstanding as you.”

n“When we go back later, we’ll calculate the resources obtained. The Cloud Sky Aviation Star still has to calculate the total points. Perhaps your ranking will increase by one or two places.”

nWang Che nodded.

nHe looked back at the area below.

nAfter being burned by the Earth Fire, the mountain was bare and desolate.

nHe could not see anything.

nWang Che vaguely saw the figure of a small beast, as if it was hiding somewhere below and staring at him.

n1

n“Secret Observation”

nHe blinked slightly but saw nothing.

nWang Che continued to think.

n‘This little beast’s strength is extraordinary… Demon spirit-type… I have to find an expert professor in this area to confirm it.’ Wang Che pondered.

nAfter flying for an hour, Wang Che arrived at the central square of the Transversal Peak Mountain Lighthouse.

nThe crowd surged.

nAt this moment, they were all teams waiting for the points to be released.

nThe reward was not important. The main thing was to be famous enough!

nThis was a rare Earth Fire Competition in the nine continents of the war zone!

nAlthough the competition was only to extinguish the Earth Fire, the value was not very high.

nHowever, being in the limelight here was equivalent to being seen by the entire war zone.

nHonor! Glory!

nBoth soul pets and Contract Soul Masters would obtain honor!

nPutting out the Earth Fire was also a righteous act.

nWang Che did not feel much.

n“Student, the contestants who return from the Earth Fire Zone have to go to the resource center in the hall to confirm the resources obtained by the Cloud Sky Aviation Star to calculate the total points.” A staff member patiently explained to Wang Che.

nWang Che: “…”

nIt was already evening. The teams that could return had already returned.

nThe further they went, the later they returned.

nWhen Wang Che arrived, there were no teams confirming the resources.

nAt this moment, the Cloud Sky Aviation Star had already entered the calculation process of the total points.

nHe could just take out some resources and confirm it.

nDuring the process of obtaining the resources, they would be scanned by the communication device and recorded into the Cloud Sky Aviation Star.

nHowever, such records would be greatly lacking.

nIn a place like the seventh level, the earth fire was too strong and the signal was very unstable. The scanning was often interrupted.

nThe calculation of points was not accurate, so it needed to be calculated again.

nThe staff member who was scanning the resources looked at Wang Che strangely.

n“What’s wrong?” Wang Che asked.

n“With so many advanced resources, did you come back from the seventh level?” The staff asked.

n“It’s not much, right?” Wang Che looked around.

nThe little caterpillar actually did not find much resources from the seventh level. Compared to the previous levels, it was actually quite little.

nMoreover, most of them were nuclear stones and ores.

nThere were very few soul plants.

nOf course, the six Life Origin Stones were the greatest gain.

nThey were also the most valuable.

nTo the Transversal Peak Mountain Range, it was normal to have such a treasure.

n“You’re telling me this isn’t a lot?” The staff member picked up a Life Origin Stone and ridiculed, “There aren’t many teams that have found this thing so far. All of them combined only add up to two digits. Good fellow, you found six alone?”

n“Are you stocking up here?”

nWang Che: “…”

n“Let’s not talk about the other high-level resources.” Like a cashier, the staff picked up many ore soul plants and quickly scanned them expressionlessly, as if he had thought of something.

n“I see, you’re Wang Che? The one in tenth place on the scoreboard?”

n“So it’s you. Alright then…”

nHe scanned for more than ten minutes.

nHe asked Wang Che to take back many resources. The Earth Core Lotus was too special. The staff could not recognize it when Wang Che showed it.

nIf the Earth Core Lotus did not produce flames, it would look like a fire-type soul plant.

nClearly, without some knowledge, one might not recognize such a treasure-level resource.

nOf course, the Cloud Sky Aviation Star should know. However, he did not know how many points this thing could scan.

nWang Che walked out and thought about it. He planned to find Li Yanming and ask him about the situation.

nHe did not care much about the points ranking.

nIn the hall.

nShen Mingluan looked at the real-time scoreboard in her contact list.

n“Junior Wang is actually in tenth place… He doesn’t have any bonus points since he’s alone. How much Earth Fire did he extinguish…”

nShen Mingluan muttered, “How ridiculous.”

nIt was more than ridiculous!

nThe square was filled with discussions about the points for the Earth Fire Competition.

nNot to mention the top ten, there were only three of such solo teams in the top 100.

nOther than Wang Che, the other two were both in the nineties.

nThey were barely qualified.

nThe rest were all teams formed by various universities, clubs, and corporations to participate!

n“Fortunately, it’s only tenth.”

nShen Minghai thought for a moment, “Just because Wang Che extinguished the Earth Fire in the fire pool, the bonus points on that level are very high… However, in terms of resources, the team will definitely obtain far more resources than an individual… After calculating the resources, his ranking should be pulled apart.”

n“I wonder what he encountered on the seventh level. Is the dragon formed by fire energy related to him?”

n“Moreover, I discovered that the seventh level’s area has instantly turned green on the map.”

n“This means that the Earth Fire is all gone… This is too terrifying… I wonder what happened in the seventh level after we left?”

nShen Minghai analyzed.

nThey felt that after the total points were out, their team should be in third or second place.

nThe first should be Li Yunxiu’s team.

nThe top ten or even the top twenty should only be the various elite teams.

nLi Yunxiu was silent in the distance. No one knew what he was thinking.

nSoon, a violent light shot down from the sky.

nThe light screen unfolded and the overall points ranking of the Earth Fire Competition appeared!

n
