14: Advanced Martial King

After returning to Yuncheng Pass, Xun Xiuyuan immediately went back to his villa and entered his room. His maternal grandfather and mother had already gone to rest.

He opened the system panel.

Host: Xun Xiuyuan

Age: 16

Realm: Sixth-grade Martial Marquis (1227000 / 1500000)

Martial Arts: Berserk Saber Technique (Mastered), Mystic Steps (Mastered), Explosive Ignition Art (This skill cannot be upgraded)

Equipment: Dingguang, qiankun battle armor

Lottery Chances: 42

Although he gained a lot of exotic beast value this time, the number of lottery chances was not as many as last time.

Happy hour, lottery draw.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, you have received 100 exotic beast value.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, you have received 100 exotic beast value... Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, you have received a ninth-grade item: Super Burst Bead.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, you have received 100 exotic beast value.

Xun Xiuyuan was very disappointed with this lottery draw; almost all of it was exotic beast value. A Super Burst Bead appeared just before it ended.

Super Burst Bead: An upgraded version of the Burst Bead, capable of harming Immaculate Realm powerhouses.

The description was still very simple: 'capable of harming,' leaving him to guess the extent of the harm.

He then took out the spatial ring Yan Yushuang, Sect Leader had given him and probed it with his mind. There was no currency.

It was all hard currency like Body Tempering Liquid: dozens of bottles each of fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and sixth-grade Body Tempering Liquid.

Still not giving up, Xun Xiuyuan took out a bottle of sixth-grade Body Tempering Liquid and consumed it, carefully observing the changes in his body.

The conclusion was that it didn't quench his thirst, and his body showed no changes; he drank it in vain.

The next few days were peaceful again. Because there was plenty of Body Tempering Liquid, his maternal grandfather chose to go into seclusion for cultivation.

His mother had also gone to Li City Pass for treatment, and with Yan Yushuang, Sect Leader's care, everything went smoothly.

"Xiuyuan, a large-scale exotic beast siege has occurred at East City Pass. Let Bi Qing take you there; Bi Qing knows the way."

Bi Qing's voice came through the phone.

Hearing the news, Xun Xiuyuan immediately felt energized. If there were no more situations, he would have to enter the mountain range.

Although the exotic beasts in the mountain range were not as concentrated as during a siege, accumulation adds up, right?

It's just that there's no signal in the mountain range, so communication devices can't be used. If he encountered a siege, he wouldn't be able to rush back.

This was also the reason Xun Xiuyuan had not entered the Exotic Beast Mountain Range.

Bi Qing arrived quickly, carrying Xun Xiuyuan straight into the sky. Soon, they became a small black dot.

East City Pass is close to the sea, and most of the attacking exotic beasts are sea beasts. Their numbers are much larger compared to the exotic beasts in the mountain range, so each time the sea beasts attack, East City Pass finds it very difficult to resist.

Having heard about Xun Xiuyuan in the Pass Lord group, Pass Lord Lu Wenyuan was skeptical, but there was no harm in trying.

The distance between East City Pass and Yuncheng Pass was relatively far. Xun Xiuyuan only arrived after an hour and a half of flying.

Fortunately, Bi Qing knew the way, otherwise, it would have taken even longer.

Bi Qing landed directly on the city wall of East City Pass. Outside the city was a vast plain, and further in the distance was the boundless sea.

At this moment on the plain, sea beasts were clashing with the defending soldiers.

Lu Wenyuan led the way to Xun Xiuyuan: "Vice Legion Commander Xun of Yuncheng Pass?"

"Xun Xiuyuan greets Pass Lord Lu."

Before coming, Bi Qing had already given Xun Xiuyuan a general overview of the situation here.

"Fifth-tier sea beasts are about to appear below. I wonder if Vice Legion Commander Xun has any good methods?"

Lu Wenyuan didn't know how talented Xun Xiuyuan was, so he could only ask directly.

Xun Xiuyuan, looking at the swarming sea beasts below, could no longer hold back: "Pass Lord Lu, I will go down and kill them directly. Don't worry about me until seventh-tier exotic beasts appear."

After speaking, he took out Dingguang, put on his battle armor, and leaped directly off the city wall.

Two hours later, the sea beasts retreated. No seventh-tier sea beasts appeared because there was a monster, and the sixth-tier sea beasts suffered heavy casualties.

Lu Wenyuan, standing on the city wall, was also shocked. Such talent was truly extraordinary.

If he reached the eighth-grade, wouldn't he be able to delve deep into the mountain range and conduct a sweep?

Apart from the abyss, the highest-tier exotic beasts, including sea beasts, discovered so far outside the passes were eighth-tier, comparable to a human's Innate Realm.

"Vice Legion Commander Xun, I am truly very grateful. This time, the casualties among our City Pass's soldiers are the lowest in history."

Lu Wenyuan's gratitude was sincere. He took out another spatial ring: "This is the reward, as discussed with Pass Lord Bi. Please accept it."

Xun Xiuyuan took the spatial ring: "Pass Lord Lu, I'm going back now. If there's another exotic beast siege, remember to call me. The reward doesn't matter; I'm honored to be able to contribute to humanity."

The high-ranking officials of East City Pass present immediately had a much better impression of Xun Xiuyuan. This guy was a super weapon for resisting exotic beast sieges.

Nearly a hundred sixth-tier sea beasts, and more than half were dealt with by him alone. The rest retreated to the sea.

This combat power was stronger, not weaker, than a seventh-grade Martial King.

Xun Xiuyuan bid farewell, and Lu Wenyuan led everyone to see him off.

Just as they were about to part, Lu Wenyuan received a phone call and stopped Xun Xiuyuan, who was about to leave.

"I just received a call from the Ningshen Mystic Realm Management Committee. There's an energy fluctuation at the entrance of the Ningshen Mystic Realm. According to custom, it will open within three days."

Xun Xiuyuan was puzzled. If it opens, it opens. Why are you stopping me?

Lu Wenyuan looked at Xun Xiuyuan: "The Lu family of the Abyss will surely have disciples participating. If you encounter them, please look after them. They are all promising talents of humanity; the fewer sacrifices, the greater humanity's hope."

Xun Xiuyuan did not agree rashly, in case they didn't appreciate it.

He only replied: "Pass Lord Lu, I understand."

With that, he sat on Bi Qing's back and returned directly to Yuncheng Pass.

Sitting on Bi Qing's back, Xun Xiuyuan opened the system panel again.

That's right, Xun Xiuyuan had already advanced in battle. It was just that the eighth-tier sea beasts in the distance hadn't noticed, after all, Xun Xiuyuan's advancement was a bit too casual.

Looking at the newly appeared 'Mental Power' item on the panel, Xun Xiuyuan clicked the plus sign next to the number.

"Do you wish to spend 10,000 exotic beast value to increase one point of Mental Power?"

The option immediately appeared on the panel. Seeing the relatively abundant exotic beast value, he directly clicked yes.

The Mental Power item on the panel immediately changed to 12. Although it only increased by one point, Xun Xiuyuan could feel the effect was very obvious.

A refreshing sensation in his soul, indescribable yet very clear, spread throughout his body.

The fatigue from the recent battle had recovered a lot.

He converted all the available 350,000 exotic beast value into Mental Power in one go.

With the increase of 35 points of Mental Power, Xun Xiuyuan felt as if the World had changed, and his perception of his surroundings became much sharper.

Xun Xiuyuan, who was carefully sensing the changes, was startled awake by the sound of his communicator.

"Xiuyuan, are you back? The Ningshen Mystic Realm is about to open."

Bi Qing's voice came through.
