62 61 Level up in Dragon Valley

"Hou!"

Suddenly, the loud growl of the Catlike magical beast was heard.

It leaped into the air with such force that its pawprint was visibly imprinted on the ground as its entirely black body transformed into a black shadow that shot towards the youth ten meters away. While in midair, the Black Cat began to open its large jaw that revealed its sharp teeth that could fill a person's heart with dread.

The youth smiled coldly as the silver-white sword within his hand started to emit a faint white glow. With a single slash, the sword tip flew towards the Black Cat's opened mouth.

The sword was traveling extremely fast, just like a flash of lightning. However, the Black Cat's reaction was very fast, so when the sword reached its jaws, the black Cat tilted its head to the side, barely dodging the incoming attack. However, the sword was still traveling too fast to be evaded completely, so it grazed its head. It left a very noticeable wound on the black Cat's shaggy head.

However, the Black Cat's speed did not slow down at all; maintaining its previous speed, it shot towards the youth in front of it.

The corners of the youth's mouth tilted upwards as if revealing a mocking expression. His eyes radiated a flash of killing intent. Hoisting the sword in his right hand, he immediately stabbed towards the black Cat once more.

This speed was faster than before, almost bordering the inconceivable. The black Cat wasn't able to dodge the sword this time and so the sword speared through its throat before it could even react. Due to the Cat's momentum, the sword in its throat penetrated even more deeply. The sword only stopped after it was completely buried in the Cat's throat up to its hilt. The other side of the sword was already covered in blood as it pierced through the back of the Cat's neck. Blood started to drip from the inclined sword onto the back of the Black Cat.

The youth slowly pulled out his sword from the Black Cat. Afterward, the blood on the sword strangely started to gather at the tip of the sword, and drip onto the ground. In the blink of an eye, the originally bloody sword had regained its original bright luster.

On the hilt of the sword were two words–Lonely Wind.

This youth was Ling Tian, who was adventuring around the Dragon valley of Magical Beasts alone. Unknowingly, he had already stayed in the Dragon valley of Magical Beasts for a night. This whole Night, Ling Tian had remained in the outskirts of the Dragon Valley, not going deeper in or farther out.

During this Night Ling Tian explored the outskirts of the Dragon Valley. During this period, he had focused primarily on improving his strength, unlike back in the sect where he had to slow down his cultivation speed so that his performance wouldn't be too outstanding. Because of that, Ling Tian's strength had practically skyrocketed in the course of a night. He had already broken through from a level 2 martial king realm to become a Level 3 Martial King Realm Expert.

In this short night, Ling Tian went from a level 2 martial king realm to become a Level 3 Martial King Realm Expert. . If this speed was to be found out by the public, then it would send a huge shock wave throughout the continent. This was because, for any regular person, it would take two or three years to go from a level 2 martial king realm to become a Level 3 Martial King Realm Expert.

Even geniuses would need around a year, so Ling Tian's frightening speed was unheard of. Unbeknownst to everyone else, he had already set a record in the history of Divine wind Continent. But this would be a piece of history that would be buried deep, never to be heard about by anyone.

Since he had broken through to the Level 3 Martial King Realm Expert, Ling Tian's fighting strength had skyrocketed as well. The current him could easily hunt down a Class 5 Magical Beasts, and he had already set his sights on Class 6 Magical Beasts.

The Lonely Wind Sword dissected the Black Cat before a bloodstained but white monster core came bouncing out, which was caught by Ling Tian.

Ling Tian casually used a handful of grass to wipe the bloody monster core clean even though he himself couldn't care less about the amount of blood on it.

Looking at the single core in his hand, Ling Tian smiled and murmured to himself, "My luck tonight is not that bad, I've collected 12 Class 5 Monster Cores already."

After grabbing the core, Ling Tian didn't pay any further mind to the Black Cat's corpse and left the area.

Ling Tian carefully trekked inside the Dragon Valley. He was now a Level 3 Martial King Realm Expert, so it could be said that he was a lot stronger than before. However, he was in the Dragon valley of Magical Beasts so he didn't dare to be careless. He knew clearly that while his position was currently in the outskirts of the Dragon Valley, he would still be able to encounter some stronger magical beasts that came from the deeper parts of the Dragon Valley, ones that Ling Tian currently wouldn't be able to handle.

It could even be said that the current Ling Tian was very vigilant. Carefully looking around constantly, he had to be extra careful, especially with the hidden swamps since they were very hard to detect. From far away, the flatlands and swamps couldn't really be differentiated. But the moment one walked over a swamp, they would be devoured by it, and wouldn't be able to escape without another person's help.

Right at this moment, Ling Tian's ear twitched. He began to shout with a great big smile, "Water, I can hear the sounds of water! There's water around here." Ling Tian immediately headed towards the direction of the water with great speed.

Not too long after, Ling Tian passed through some tall weeds and finally reached a small stream. This creek was only three meters wide and wasn't too deep. Yet the water was so clear that the stones on the bottom of the river could be clearly seen.

Seeing this river, Ling Tian smiled with joy. This was the first time he had come across a water source since entering the Dragon valley of Magical Beasts. And after all the time he had spent here, the clean water he had in his Space ring was almost all gone.

Looking around the place, he inspected it to ensure it was safe, before pulling out a few canteens from within his Space ring before kneeling down to fill them with water.

After a few more canteens were filled, Ling Tian threw off his clothes and jumped into the stream to wash away the sweat he had built up on his body.

Not even a few seconds after Ling Tian started to bathe, his face suddenly changed expression from a relaxed one to a battle-ready expression in an instant. Immediately leaping up into the air from the water, he materialized his Lonely Wind Sword into his right hand and stabbed downwards with it.
