Unconsciously, a few days had passed. During these few days, Wu Chen rarely went out. He was healing his wounds and illnesses. With his careful care, his injuries were basically healed, and his strength had recovered. He was no longer in serious trouble.
On Yunyao Island, large areas of land are covered by forests, covering 70% of the area.
Early in the morning, Wu Chen was practicing in the forest. The technique he practiced was the Fire Phoenix Technique. The Fire Phoenix Technique had a magical function. It could convert the energy of the monsters into his own power, thereby enhancing his cultivation and strength.
Through the battles with Fu Bi and Gu Batian, two Zhenwu Realm powerhouses, Wu Chen realized that his current strength was far from enough to deal with those Zhenwu Realm powerhouses. Therefore, there was only one way, which was to work hard to improve his cultivation and enhance his strength.
Moreover, there are only half a year left until the International Election. If he wants to achieve excellent results in the International Election, it is impossible without sufficient strength. Therefore, he must work hard to practice and be diligent without any slackness.
In the forest, a gigantic third-level monster was moving around, its huge head looking around as if it was searching for prey.
Suddenly, a flash of knife light flew by and quickly passed through the forest. The knife light was shining, with unparalleled and indescribable power. Its target was this huge monster.
Sensing the danger, the huge monster roared and ran away, but the speed of the knife was too fast and hit it before it could even escape.
"roar!"
The huge monster screamed and fell forward with its huge body. After struggling on the ground for a while, it died without a trace of breath.
At this time, a figure flew out of the forest, landed next to the corpse of the huge monster, and pulled out the sword from its body.
“I don’t know when I can accumulate enough strength to impact the eighth level of the Spiritual Sea Realm.”
Wu Chen's desire for power is self-evident, but as far as Yunyao Island is concerned, the monsters here are obviously far inferior to those in the Demon Cloud Mountains. This is not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality. From the time he came out until now, he has only seen such a third-level monster. The rest are either first-level monsters or second-level monsters. Such monsters are of no use to him at all.
"If we could have a fourth-level monster, would it be better?"
Wu Chen suddenly wanted to kill a fourth-level monster, but he couldn't kill it whenever he wanted. Monsters of this level were extremely powerful, far surpassing third-level monsters. It was still a huge problem for him now, so he just thought about it.
“Good job.”
Suddenly, a voice of praise came from the forest. Wu Chen didn't turn around, because he knew who it was.
Not long after, a middle-aged man appeared here. There was a powerful aura on his body. This aura was extremely powerful, far surpassing that of the Linghai Realm. He was a strong man in the Zhenwu Realm, and it was neither Cui Keming nor anyone else.
"Little brother is full of energy and vigor, and it seems that he has recovered well."
Cui Keming's gaze swept across Wu Chen's Dragon Slaying Sword, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. This was a top-grade spiritual treasure. Not to mention the strong ones in the Linghai Realm, even the strong ones in the Zhenwu Realm like them would covet it.
However, the light in his eyes soon disappeared. Wu Chen had done a favor for the Cui family. If it weren't for him, his daughter might have fallen into the hands of pirates long ago. Once his daughter fell into the hands of pirates, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, as far as he knew, Wu Chen seemed to have a close relationship with the Yue family of the Yunlai Dynasty. Although their Cui family was strong, they were still unable to compete with a wealthy family like the Yue family.
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, he would not attack Wu Chen and take away the top-grade spiritual treasure in his hand.
"Patriarch Cui, do you know where in the forest of Yunyao Island there are the most monsters?"
"Where are there the most monsters?"
Cui Keming thought about it and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Little brother, why are you looking for monsters?"
Wu Chen said: "Refine your sword skills and gain practical combat experience."
These are his goals. Of course, there is one thing he did not say, and that is to absorb the energy from the monsters, transform it and turn it into his own strength. This is his biggest goal.
"So that's how it is."
Cui Keming nodded. Indeed, fighting against monsters could hone one's swordsmanship and increase practical experience. In addition, monsters were also precious things that could be sold to earn a lot of money. This was also a common way for warriors to make a living.
"Little brother, you may not know that about ten years ago, a massacre took place on our Yunyao Island, and eighty percent of the monsters on the island were eradicated. Therefore, there are relatively few monsters on the island now."
Massacre
Wu Chen was stunned, and suddenly he understood. No wonder it took him so long to find a third-level monster. It turned out to be because of this.
"However, if you really want to hone your sword skills, I can point you to a good place."
"Where?"
"In the sea."
In the sea
Wu Chen frowned. He had never thought about going into the sea.
Cui Keming said: "Because of the pressure of the sea water, the cultivators will be subject to certain restrictions and cannot exert their full strength. However, it is precisely because of this that the seabed is a good place for cultivation. Practicing swordsmanship there can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Wu Chen's eyes lit up. Cui Keming's words really woke him up. Indeed, when they humans enter the sea water, they will be greatly suppressed. The deeper they dive, the greater the suppression force. However, such a place is an excellent place for cultivation.
As early as in his previous life, he had heard that some powerful warriors specifically chose various desperate places to practice. Practicing in desperate situations can release human potential to the maximum extent.
"In addition, the creatures in the sea are innumerable, and their numbers and species are immeasurable. This is also a good place to gain practical experience."
Wu Chen was stunned. Why had he not thought of this problem? This was the Yunlai Sea. There were countless powerful beings in the sea. Those things should be no different from the monsters on land. After he killed them, he could still absorb their energy and enhance his cultivation and strength.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your guidance."
