Chapter 291 - 291 291 Striking Towards Intermediate Warrior

291: Chapter 291: Striking Towards Intermediate Warrior 291: Chapter 291: Striking Towards Intermediate Warrior Indeed, the Beastmen still came to know about it.

However, a thought crossed Zhao Guang’s mind, and he saw no issue with it, as the information between the two sides was unequal, and on the border, Humans basically did not interact excessively with the Beastmen.

Those few merchants who did interact knew very little.

Zhao Guang had learned that the merchants who traveled to the Beastmen’s side often did not even speak the Beastmen’s language.

Every time they came, they had to find some local translators, and they did not speak much.

“No problem, I’ll start preparing a batch soon.”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the tent revealed a smile.

After getting used to those seasonings, the thought of going back to what things were like before was unbearable, even for Beastmen.

Ordinary Beastmen could let it go, as they only got to eat it once every few days, mainly during the feasts whenever Zhao Guang came.

But these were high-ranking Beastmen, who always managed to save enough for themselves.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Guang left behind enough blue pills and then took his leave.

Following that, the most important thing for himself was to aim for a higher level.

Because without reaching the rank of Intermediate Warrior, the Octagonal Softworms would be useless to him.

Zhao Guang even set aside the Basic Runes he was focusing on, spending huge amounts of time every day on cultivating his Combat Energy.

He even used the Beastman Holy Water in a rather wasteful way, striving to fulfill his Combat Energy in a few days.

With Zhao Guang’s cost-ignoring cultivation, three days later, just before departure, he had finally elevated his Combat Energy to the level of beginner’s completion and was ready to surge forward in one go.

Moving from beginner to advanced actually involved opening more meridians, which fundamentally didn’t differ at all.

As long as there was enough Combat Energy, one could surge forward anytime.

It’s just that the number of meridians affected varied with different Combat Energy cultivation methods.

This number of meridians represented future potential.

Without sufficient quality of Combat Energy, even wanting to surge through more meridians would not be possible.

Zhao Guang’s method of cultivating Combat Energy was already of the highest quality, and his Combat Energy had reached the upper limit of what his cultivation technique could handle, so naturally, there was no problem in this area.

With his Combat Energy at its peak, there was no need for Zhao Guang to continue waiting.

“Xi Fei, keep an eye on the door for me, I am going to enhance my strength.”

“Leave it to me, but you must promise to reward Xi Fei nicely after you succeed.”

“Don’t worry, once I succeed, my physique will be even stronger.” Zhao Guang revealed a peculiar smile.

Xi Fei joked, “Stop it, that’s not what I meant; I was talking about pretty clothes.”

“No problem at all, I will definitely prepare lots of nice clothes for you, the quality ones.”

Knowing what her master meant, Xi Fei ran to the door with a smile.

Meanwhile, Zhao Guang adjusted his mentality.

The jokes just now made the tension in his heart vanish without a trace.

“Here goes.” Zhao Guang closed his eyes, then opened them, and started exercising in the manner required for advancement.

It was still the original training method; the movements looked similar, but the internal operation had changed somewhat.

In an instant, the Combat Energy in Zhao Guang’s body started to circulate, gradually spreading throughout his body.

Then, his body began to tingle, with pain starting to emerge in certain parts.

“Damn, why didn’t anyone tell me breakthroughs could be painful?

If I knew, I would have taken some medicine.”

Unfortunately, it had already started, and Zhao Guang couldn’t stop.

Because once he stopped, the Combat Energy inside his body would lose a type of sharpness.

To break through again, he would have to wait several days.

By that time, he would already be on his way to the Imperial City, and the Octagonal Soft Worm would be out of reach.

No choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

Fortunately, with his recent training, this kind of pain wasn’t completely unbearable for Zhao Guang.

Each time his small meridians were flushed open, Zhao Guang felt bursts of pain.

Some minor injuries were instantly healed by his Combat Energy, bringing a refreshing sensation.

Surrounded by pain and relief, the feeling was indescribably exhilarating.

If it weren’t for his strong willpower, Zhao Guang doubted he could continue breaking through under this sensation.

No wonder many warriors remained at the beginner level and couldn’t break through.

It seemed it wasn’t just due to the lack of Cultivation Methods; a major part of the reason was that their willpower wasn’t strong enough to endure it.

Zhao Guang wondered if a higher level of Cultivation Method could suppress this sensation, but he felt that it was because of his strong spiritual power that he was able to hold on.

Additionally, strong spiritual power also heightened his resistance to pain.

When the practice session was over, Zhao Guang felt his body was soaked with sweat.

But Zhao Guang smiled because he knew he had succeeded.

As long as he followed this session, the Combat Energy in his body had already begun its initial expansion.

From now on, it was just a matter of consolidation.

From now on, his Combat Energy would operate along the current pathways.

If someone could see inside Zhao Guang’s body, they would find that the overall pathways hadn’t changed much, just expanded somewhat.

Especially the minor ones, but it was these slight changes that increased the capacity of Zhao Guang’s Combat Energy several times, improving its quality as well.

The next step was to keep strengthening the Combat Energy to fill up the capacity.

After practicing several more times, Zhao Guang wiped off his cold sweat, his entire body turning silver-white in an instant.

Solid Wall Armor, this was his Lifebound Battle Skill.

Previously, because his Combat Energy was low, he didn’t use the Lifebound Battle Skill unless absolutely necessary; it just wasn’t sustainable.

Now that he had broken through, the strength of this Lifebound Battle Skill had also improved.

But with this timing, Zhao Guang felt it and frowned.

“Two minutes, only two minutes?”

Zhao Guang had originally thought he could use it as a standard state, but he hadn’t expected that, along with the great increase in defensive power, the rate of Combat Energy consumption was also crazily increasing.

Even though his Combat Energy had increased, it still couldn’t support the consumption of this Battle Skill.

As for how much the defensive power had increased, Zhao Guang couldn’t calculate it.

At least his own Fireball, when smashing on it, felt nothing at all, not even speeding up the consumption of Combat Energy one bit.

This indicated that his own Fireball couldn’t breach his defense at all.

“My Fireball’s power could match a rocket now, so I could probably withstand missiles.” Zhao Guang silently thought.

If that was true, his defensive power might have already surpassed an Advanced Warrior, or even a Great Knight.
