Chapter 100 - 98: Mutant Beast, Rank Three!
Only between life and death can a person truly be forged.
In the cave.
Jiang Shu occasionally swung his war blade, practicing the three styles of blade techniques over and over, which he had already trained to a minor level of proficiency. In a matter of days, he had fully recovered. His vitality surged as before.
During this time, some changes also seemed to have occurred within the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm. Far off, occasional tremors echoed, as if from earthquakes. Bizarre roars and furious bellows rose amidst the trembling. A second-order Mutant Beast certainly couldn’t cause such a commotion!
So, the battle in the distance was either a fighter at the Refining Internal Realm clashing with a third-order Mutant Beast, or two third-order Mutant Beasts fighting each other! Either way, it was not a battle that they, as Martial Artists at the Dark Force level, could interfere in.
Even someone with a strong heart and constant fighting spirit like Shang Jibei had begun to retreat, no longer advancing. The gap between Dark Force and a third-order Mutant Beast was like that between clouds and mud!
Moreover, he was not alone. As the team leader, he had to take responsibility for his teammates.
"Jiang Shu..." Shang Jibei hesitated, and though he didn’t finish, Jiang Shu naturally understood his meaning.
But understanding was one thing; taking action was another entirely.
Since entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm, Jiang Shu knew that compared to all the Martial Artists from Xuanxing, his greatest advantage was not that he possessed Martial Arts from another world! Because at this moment, in the Da Jing Dynasty, he merely resided in a small county town. The strongest person he had encountered was only at the Refining Internal Realm, which was equivalent to Xia Country’s Refining Internal Realm. As for Xia Country, it was possible that within Shang Jibei’s family, there was someone at the Elixir Realm!
