Wu Bai stared blankly at the monster before him, slumped on the ground.
It stood nearly three meters tall, its entire body a collection of slender bones covered by a layer of withered, greenish-blue skin. Its head was grotesquely deformed, with only one large, red eyeball hanging above it, positioned below which was a gaping maw filled with teeth that curved outwards, razor-sharp and gleaming menacingly.
Its skeletal structure is extremely distorted, looking very uncoordinated. Its limbs are covered in incredibly sharp and massive claws, each with dagger-like nails. And along its back, dozens of extremely sharp bone spikes protrude.
This monster emanated a stench of rotting flesh, and a deathly aura hung about it, quite terrifying.
“This, this is what a subterranean creature looks like?” Wu Bai’s eyes widened in fear as he stared at the monster before him.
At this moment, the monster’s eyeballs suddenly turned to look at U Bai Yu, and its hind legs scratched the ground.
Wu Bai trembled all over.
“Whoosh!”
In the next instant, the monster lunged at Wuyibai.
“Don’t kill me… Don’t kill me!”
<<>>
But the monster did nothing to him, it just stood a short distance in front of him, its forelimbs hanging down.
Seeing that the monster didn’t attack him, Wu Bai felt relieved. At the same time, he remembered the explanation about this formation.
This creature from the Underdark was summoned by him using his own blood. The two share a bond through their bloodlines.
That is to say, this monster will recognize Wuyu as its master and obey Wuyu’s orders.
Wu Bai nervously stood up, looking around. He saw a large tree in the distance.
“Break down this big tree.” Wu Baiyu pointed at the tree and said.
Then, he swallowed hard and looked at the monster.
The monster looked in the direction he was pointing, and the next second, it charged at the big tree.
“Boom!”
The monster swatted at the trunk of the big tree with its claw, snapping it in half. The tree crashed to the ground with a thunderous roar!
Seeing this, the fear on Wu Baiyu’s face slowly turned into smugness, and she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahaha… Fang Yu, you wait for death! I must get back everything I lost!”
……
In the morning, Fang Yu was looking at a newly bought .
Tang Xiaorou, sitting beside him, was doing her math review problems. She kept glancing at Fang Yu from time to time, her face showing hesitation, as if she wanted to say something but held back.
Taking advantage of the fact that Fang Yu put down his cup and was drinking water, Tang Xiaorou immediately asked, “Fang Yu, what is your relationship with that Xia Tinghe?”
Fang Yu drank two mouthfuls of water and glanced at Tang Xiaorou, saying, “My relationship with her is the same as my relationship with you.”
“Huh?” Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou’s face changed, and her heart sank. Summer Tinghe had only been at this school for a short time, and in Fang Yu’s mind, she was already on the same level as him, her deskmate?
“That is to say, there’s no relationship.” Fang Yu added.
Tang Xiaorou was taken aback, then angrily gritted her teeth and retorted: “I bring you breakfast every day, how can you say we have nothing to do with each other?”
“Breakfast is because you lost the bet to me.” Fang Yu said.
“That…” Tang Xiaorou’s face was flushed, and she still wanted to argue.
But Fang Yu had already turned his head and continued on, ignoring Tang Xiaorou.
……
After being warned yesterday afternoon, Fang Yu didn’t see Xia Tinghe again today.
It seems like dealing with these annoying girls requires such a ruthless approach.
Although shameful, it is useful.
After school, Fang Yu walked out of the school gate and was going to the vegetable garden.
At this moment, he received a call from Ji Rumei.
Mr. Fang, a big shot got in touch with me. He wants to hire you for a favor and the payment is a monster’s inner elixir.
“Big shot?” Fang Yu frowned slightly and asked, “What does he want me to do for him?”
“He said he would only tell you this in person. If you’re interested, Mr. Fang…”
Monster Core <<<
The closer Fang Yu got to the ten thousandth layer, the more eager he felt.
Now Fang Yu is only 170 layers away from the ten thousandth layer. He naturally wouldn’t give up the chance to obtain the monster beast’s inner pill.
“I’d like to meet him.” Fang Yu said.
“Alright, I’ll let the important person know.” Ji Ruomei said.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Yu strolled leisurely towards the vegetable garden.
……
At 8:20 pm, Fang Yu arrived at the Ji family.
That big shot is just waiting for Fang Yu right here.
As soon as Fang Yu stepped into the hall, he saw an old man sitting on the sofa.
It’s really Xia and Guang.
When Fang Yu answered the phone call from Ji Ruimei this afternoon and heard her refer to the other person as a big shot, he immediately knew that the person she was looking for was Xia Heguang.
He wasn’t particularly eager to deal with military personnel, but for the sake of the demon beast’s inner core, he came anyway.
For him, improving his cultivation is the most important thing at present.
Xia Heguang saw Fang Yu and immediately stood up, smiling slightly: “Master Fang, we’ve met before.”
Fan Yu nodded and said, “Not only that, I’ve also met your granddaughter a few times.”
Xia Heguang let out a chuckle and said, “I had Tinghe get close to you just so I could meet Mr. Fang myself. I hope you won’t blame her for it.”
“If you had mentioned the monster beast’s inner pill earlier, I would have met you long ago. There was no need for all this roundabout way.” Fang Yu said bluntly.
Seeing Xia Heguang’s respectful tone when speaking to Guangfang Yu, Ji Rumei on the side was full of surprise in her beautiful eyes.
Xia Heguang is a major general in the Jiangnan Military Region!
He is a real big shot who can shake up Jiangnan just by stamping his feet!
Even in the presence of Fang Yu, such a great person still behaved respectfully.
It goes without saying how much Fang Yu weighed in his mind!
“What do you want me to help you with? Just say it.” Fang Yu sat down on the sofa and asked.
“I want Master Fang to represent our Jiangnan Military Region in this year’s military region competition,” Xia Heguang said.
“A military competition?” Fang Yu’s brows furrowed slightly.
“This is a tradition in our Huaxia military. A large-scale competition among military districts is held every four years. Every military district in Huaxia sends an elite team to participate, where they learn from each other and compete for ranking. The final ranking not only represents the honor of a military district but also influences the resource allocation by the Huaxia Military over the next four years….Therefore, the military district competition is very important for a military district,” Xia Heguang said.
Having said that, Xia Heguang sighed and said, “Our Jiangnan Military Region hasn’t had good results in the past few sessions. Last session was considered the best in recent years, ranking fifth among the eight major military districts.”
The performance of the Jiangnan Military Region has not been good, and there are many reasons for this.
The most important reason is that the entire Jiangnan martial arts world has always been the weakest in all of China.
Over so many years, other regions have produced a martial arts master of the Wu Zun realm every ten to twenty years at most. However, the Jiangnan martial arts world has been stagnant like a dead pond for nearly fifty years, with no one able to reach the Wu Zun realm.
Fang Yu’s eyes were calm as he asked, “How many monster beast inner pills can you give me?”
Xia Heguang looked at Fang Yu and said, “As long as you can help our Jiangnan Military Region achieve a top three ranking in this competition, I will give you all the monster inner pills I have, about twenty or thirty of them…”
Twenty to thirty?
“Where did you get these monster inner pills?” Fang Yu asked.
Xia Heguang stroked his beard and said, “Most of them were sent by others, saying that they could prolong life as medicinal herbs. But I personally don’t believe it… Of course, I heard from Rumei that the monster’s inner alchemy is very useful to Master Fang.”
“Fifty monster inner pills.” Fang Yu extended a palm and said, “I can help you with this.”
“Fifty…” Xia and Guang’s eyes deepened, lost in thought.
He only had less than thirty monster inner pills in his hand, but Fang Yu demanded fifty.
Although he personally thought demonic beast inner pills were useless, they were actually quite rare. One was worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, and it was also hard to find a seller.
However, compared to the Jiangnan Military Region’s top three rankings in this competition, these monster inner pills are nothing.
“I agree to your request,” Xia Heguang immediately agreed after a moment of contemplation.
“When does the big match start?” Fang Yu asked.
“This May, it was held at Longwei Stage in the central region. There’s about a month and a half left until now,” Xia Heguang said.
“I’ll let you know when the time comes, and I’ll be there,” Fang Yu said.
“Master Fang, in the military competition, it’s not just about individuals, but also the overall strength of the entire unit. That’s why…” Xia Heguang hesitated to say.
“So you’re saying I still need to help train the team?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes,” Xia Heguang nodded.
“Those fifty monster cores won’t be enough, at least seventy are needed.” Fang Yu said calmly.
Xia and Guang’s faces changed slightly.
Onlooker Ji Ru Mei was also startled.
She didn’t expect Fang Yu to be so demanding…
