There was something very strange about Li Ming's power. He was undoubtedly a one-star silver rank, but the sheer fighting ability he displayed far exceeded even those of the same rank she had encountered, and there were quite a few in her clan.

A demonic spiritist was much stronger when he fused with his demonic beast. But it seems that Li Ming was much stronger, and without fusing with a demonic spirit...

She did not know exactly how his cultivation art worked-he had only given her some basic information and had not gone into too much detail-but she supposed that he was always partially fused with them to some extent, which allowed him to constantly use all their skills.

But was it really that simple? He was basically fused to some extent with all his spirits when he used their abilities, no! He was just a demonic beast.... So many abilities with one demonic beast? Was such a thing really possible?

She remembered the ghostly figure that had appeared behind him.... Was that where all his power had come from? All things considered, if he had been and used only the Silver Tigers' abilities, he would have already been halfway to rank two silver star power, and then with the addition of the horned sheep, then using its abilities, he could have been around the level of a rank four silver star, perhaps even a rank five silver star, and finally with the tusked panda.... He could have even been at the rank gold two star level!

If so, at the rate he was going, he might very well have seen him become a rank of legend when he was only 20 years old! The stronger he became, the more demonic beasts he could hunt and make more money. The more money he received, the more demonic spirits he could kill to become even stronger and increase the speed of his cultivation even faster, making even more money and repeating the process.

Ning'er looked at the boy in front of her who had given her the ticket to her freedom as he meticulously went about dismembering the bodies of he prey, taking what he needed and storing their body parts in he space ring before moving on to the next one. "No doubt, one day he will be on top of Glory City, maybe even become the Lord of the City," she thought to herself.

She rolled her eyes as her mind predictably went to Ye Ziyun, her former friend.... Someone of her stature would have been much more of a match for the likes of Li Ming once he rose to prominence, especially given the fact that he was her bodyguard and as if that were not enough they lived in the same mansion...

The orange-haired girl clung to his chest, feeling a hollow ache form in her chest at the thought of Li Ming marrying his former friend, and her losing him to the purple-haired girl!

She resented the good fortune Ye Ziyun had had in life. As the daughter of the City Lord, no one could force her to do something she did not want to do. She got the best training, the best treatment, everything she wanted, and now he too....

Where she, Ning'er was a slave to the demands of her clan elders, used little more than as a trophy to be traded to the Holy Family, loaded with elixir to make her body more feminine for the rogue to whom she was betrothed and expected to accept it as if it were her natural position in the world...

No! Thanks to Li Ming's cultivation technique, she could feel her cultivation growing every second as she discovered the secrets this art hid and felt she could become much stronger.

'I will sooner cut my throat than be the woman of that piece of shit Shen Fei!' Ning'er hissed internally.

Before her thoughts could rage any further, a gentle touch on her head woke her up and she looked up to see Li Ming smiling at her, "All done, take a look," he said, raising his hand to show her two demonic spirit Devours Earth, "We were quite lucky, the five-star bronze rank had an extraordinary growth rate. The four-star had only an average growth rate, but you won't really need to cultivate its strength since you are better suited for a demonic beast with storm attributes."

With that said, he let go of her head and gently grasped her hand, lifting it to drop the four-star bronze-ranked demonic spirit into her hand.

"When you integrate it, you will most likely exceed the rank of second star without a doubt," Li Ming continued, "I think that if I infused some of my Yang Qi into you while you were integrating it, along with the Yang of the sun to help you balance all remaining Yin Qi in your body, your cultivation would probably increase very massively."

Ning'er looked at his warm, smiling face. She felt her cheeks heat up once again, and her thoughts focused on the fact that he had thought of a way to help her get stronger even faster.

'... I will not allow Ye Ziyun to have him,' the orange-haired girl decided, curling the fingers of her hand around the demonic spirit placed on her palm. From now on, she would become strong enough to walk beside Li Ming, the boy who had given her the chance to take back her life.

Shen Fei and Ye Ziyun, the elders of her clan and the Holy Family. They could have all gone to their deaths; she would not have submitted to her fate! Instead, she would make sure she got everything she wanted.

Li Ming was very happy that he decided to come here today. The common materials of an Earth Devours went for a total of one hundred demonic spirit coins. Their armor was worth fifty, claws ten, fangs twenty and crystal twenty.

But he also had three demonic spirits left over from them, or once he and Ning'er would integrate with the two strongest. The demonic spirits of the Devours Earth went to get ten thousand demonic spirit coins apiece in the looting store.

"Are you ready?" asked Li Ming to Ning'er to keep her mind from focusing so giddily on her profits. He looked at her from behind, trying not to give in to the temptation to brush her shoulder and catch a glimpse of her beautiful, deep cleavage.

She was sitting cross-legged in front of him, clutching the Devours Earth's demonic spirit in her hands, removed overhead to give him access to the bruises on her side. "I'm ready," she confirmed with a nod, her long orange hair glistening in the sunlight that radiated off the tree where they stood.
