"Roar!"

A ferocious and terrifying roar of a demon beast filled with despair resounded from the depths of the Ye Clan's examination grounds.

The instant the roar rang out, some of the surrounding low rank Demonic Beasts let out a terrified wail and scattered in all directions.

In the world of demon beasts, it was clear which level was higher. These low rank demon beasts could clearly distinguish that the owner of the roar was a powerful existence at the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering, the Bloodthirsty Tiger.

From its roar, they could tell that the Bloodthirsty Tiger was on the verge of death.

To be able to kill a Bloodthirsty Tiger at Tempered Body 9th Layer, there... There had to be an even more powerful and terrifying demon beast.

Thinking of this, the group of fleeing low level demonic beasts madly ran far away.

However, within the depths of the forest, the person standing in front of the corpse of the Bloodthirsty Tiger was not a terrifying Monstrous Beast. It was a black-clothed young man who held a pike in his hand and was gasping like an ox.

It was Ye Hao.

The current him was extremely pale. His entire body was covered in blood, and there was even a deep claw mark on his chest. One could vaguely see the eerie white bones.

Around him, a giant tree had broken apart and was uprooted. The ground was full of potholes, and it was a complete mess. It was as if two ancient barbarian dragons had been violently fighting in this place.

"A demon beast at the ninth level of Body Tempering is indeed abnormal." Ye Hao wiped off the blood on his face. The pain from his injuries made his body shudder.

It had already been two months since he killed the two of them.

And during these two months, Ye Hao had been in the Black Abyss Mountain Range, fighting and training with all kinds of demon beasts. During this time, he had been in a desperate situation.

Of course, this kind of crazy slaughter and tempering, suppressing one's potential, undoubtedly had enormous benefits.

Although Ye Hao had yet to break through to Tempered Body 8th Layer, he now felt more sturdy compared to two months ago. Moreover, there was a faint trace of blood aura surrounding his body.

Clearly, the constant fighting these past two months had caused the youth to undergo a transformation as though he had been reborn.

Most importantly, after countless desperate situations, Ye Hao had already refined a lot of the power left in his body from the Blood Essence.

As he refined the power of the essence blood, his realm grew slightly, but his body was constantly strengthening at an unimaginable speed.

Because of this, Ye Hao was able to use his Tempered Body 7th Layer cultivation to kill the Bloodthirsty Tiger in front of him.

One must know that a demon beast at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Stage, even if an ordinary cultivator of the same level were to encounter it, would not dare to fight it alone.

Since Ye Hao was able to kill him alone, although his injuries were not light, it showed how strong his progress was.

After resting for a while, Ye Hao took out Ye Ren's short sword and removed all the valuable materials from the Bloodthirsty Tiger's body.

After that, he looked at the sky which was about to darken, and like an agile leopard, he swiftly and quietly flew away.

After these two months of fighting, Ye Hao's strength had not only increased, but he also gained a lot of battle experience and judgement.

After shuttling through the forest for a while, Ye Hao entered a hidden cave. He blocked the entrance with a huge rock and lit a bonfire. Then, he sat down in exhaustion.

The Black Abyss Mountain Range at night was truly a land that enjoyed demonic beasts. The danger was at least ten times greater than during the daytime. With his current realm, whenever night descended, he could only temporarily hide in this relatively safe cave.

"..."

The night was cold, and the moon hung high in the sky. The roaring of demon beasts filled with a thick brutality reverberated throughout the entire Black Abyss Mountain Range.

Beside the fire in the cave, Ye Hao was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. His entire body was filled with Qi and blood. After a long time, he finally breathed out. He opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

After condensing his soul consciousness, he had always wanted to find out the origin of that strange golden light in his sea of consciousness.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Ye Hao discovered that his soul consciousness was still unable to approach that holy golden light. This made him even more curious.

"Is my consciousness not strong enough?" Ye Hao muttered to himself, then shook his head. It was useless to think about it. He could only put it aside for later.

Soon after, Ye Hao untied his clothes and looked down at his chest. The claw marks that were so deep that it almost tore his internal organs apart had already turned into a scab and were rapidly recovering.

When he realized this, he couldn't help but grin. After refining a bit of the power left behind by the blood essence, the strength and recovery ability of his body far surpassed before.

"I still need to break through to Tempered Body 8th Layer as soon as possible."

Ye Hao frowned as he talked to himself. Although his strength had improved tremendously, it was still a bit lacking when compared to a peak late stage Body Tempering cultivator.

According to Ye Hao's estimation, only by breaking through Tempered Body 8th Layer and then refining some blood essence would he be able to contend against a peak Body Tempering cultivator.

"There are still two more months, let's work harder."

Ye Hao took a deep breath as he thought about how the recruitment period for Tianxuan Academy was getting closer. He slowly stretched out his hands and a bright light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Spiritual Energy quickly flowed between her slender fingers. Finally, it formed into a delicate and delicate Spiritual Energy light seal. It was filled with mysterious symbols and emitted extremely special fluctuations.

The moment this spirit seal appeared, a trace of the spirit energy in the air around his finger quietly rippled and started to churn formlessly.

Spiritual Seals were the basis for arranging Spiritual Arrays. Only Spiritual Array Masters with their Spiritual Awareness could control Spiritual Energy and, according to the Spiritual Diagram Array, condense unique and unique Spiritual Seal Symbols with special methods.

Of course, the number of Spiritual Seals required for each Spiritual Array was different. Generally, the most basic Spiritual Array would require at least dozens of Spiritual Seals, and those powerful Spiritual Arrays would even require thousands and thousands of Spiritual Seals.

In order to successfully set up a Spiritual Array, besides Spiritual Seals and Spiritual Diagrams, one had to have absolute control over the Spiritual Array Masters.

Because any slight fluctuation along with a slight deviation in position would cause the Spiritual Array to collapse and even cause a Spiritual Array Master to suffer a backlash. It was extremely terrifying.

He recalled one of the spirit diagrams that Shen Jiuyou had imparted to him. The spirit energy between Ye Hao's fingers grew stronger and stronger. As he flicked his fingers, one spirit seal after another shot into the void like water droplets merging into the sea and disappearing.

Ye Hao's expression was solemn. He didn't dare to relax his mind in the slightest.

Even though the Spiritual Array that Shen Jiuyou taught him was only at the elementary level, it required 101 Spiritual Seals to be placed at a specific location within the void. This would cause the Spiritual Energy of the world to resonate.

In the silence, the last Spiritual Seal formed between Ye Hao's fingers.

With a flick of his finger, the ray of spiritual energy disappeared into the void, causing ripples to appear in the space of the cave.

A strange breeze swept through as waves of the spirit energy seemed to be attracted by something as it suddenly gathered and formed into a small tornado of spirit energy.

When he saw the formation take shape, a deep sense of joy surfaced on Ye Hao's face. He was still unable to completely arrange the offensive Spiritual Array that Shen Jiuyou had taught him.

However, this Spirit Convergence Array, which was slightly simpler, had a very high success rate after cultivating for more than a month.

Spirit Convergence Array was not an offensive and defensive array. Its greatest effect was to forcefully gather the Spiritual Energy of the world around the Spiritual Array.

If a cultivator cultivated inside the Spirit Gathering Formation, the dense spiritual energy of the heavens and earth would allow them to cultivate several times faster.

Of course, although the Spiritual Concentration Formation could speed up one's cultivation, it was undoubtedly an extremely complicated and complicated project. If one wanted to arrange it, one would need an extremely high level of Spiritual Array Master's consciousness.

Sitting inside the Spirit Convergence Array, Ye Hao breathed in and out the dense Spiritual Energy of the world. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, based on the difficulty of setting up the Spiritual Array and its mysterious power, it was no wonder that there were so few Spiritual Array Masters in this world and their status was so high.

"Brat, you have only just entered the threshold of a Spiritual Array Master. Only by setting up that Flaming Flames Spiritual Array, can you be considered to have truly stepped into the Core Formation stage. It is still a little too early to be happy now." Within the grey bead space, Shen Jiuyou's illusory figure was much more solid than before. Looking at the delighted look on the youth's face, he could not help but laugh and attack.

Although he said this, he could not help but be secretly shocked by Ye Hao's rapid growth speed.

With his knowledge of Spiritual Arrays, although the Spirit Convergence Array that he passed on to Ye Hao was only at the primary level, it was still considered one of the top basic Spiritual Arrays. The former being able to master it in such a short period of time had truly exceeded his expectations.

"Seal Condensation Realm …" Ye Hao's black eyes couldn't help but burn.

One must know that a Spiritual Array Master at the Seal Condensation Realm was in no way inferior to a Life Sea Realm expert. If he could arrange another Spiritual Array at this level, then his chances of obtaining a quota from Ye Tianlin would increase greatly.

However, when he thought about the Flaming Burning Spiritual Array that the former mentioned, Ye Hao could only bitterly smile and shake his head. That offensive Spiritual Array was much more profound than the Spirit Convergence Array, and the number of Spiritual Seals was even higher at three hundred and sixty-five.

He had tried several times, but they had all failed midway, resulting in the collapse of the Spiritual Array. It was evident that with his current cultivation level, it was still not possible to arrange a Spiritual Array of that level.

Shaking his head, he cast aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. Ye Hao understood the way of cultivation. There was only one footprint, one step at a time. There was no meaning in being ambitious.

"It's been two months. Time to go back." Muttering to himself, he slowly closed his eyes and completely went silent.

"..."

As the sky brightened, a young man shot out of the forest like a black arrow, dashing towards Black Lake City.

Although Ye Hao, Qing Wu, and Ye Yunfeng had greeted each other before coming here, two months had passed. The two of them must be extremely worried.

Moreover, in these two months of bloody battles, he had already accumulated a lot of demon beast materials in his storage bag, and even the space in his storage bag was almost full.

"Looks like I have to go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion first." Looking at the silhouette of the city in front of him, Ye Hao couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was not only one of the top powers in Black Lake City, it was also the biggest merchant guild in the city. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion was not only one of the top powers in Black Lake City, but also the biggest merchant guild in the city.

If one were to consider the depth of its reserves, it was likely that neither of the major powers nor the other forces could match up to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Fortunately, although the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was powerful, they had always been neutral and didn't participate in any battles between forces.

Otherwise, even the master of Black Yuan City would not be able to keep this enormous creature in check.

Standing on the streets of the city, Ye Hao looked at the huge classical and luxurious building at the end and couldn't help but to lick his lips. In his storage bag, there were quite a lot of body tempering eighth or ninth level demon beast materials.

"Hmm? Why is it him? "

Just when Ye Hao was about to take a step forward, he suddenly saw a handsome young man with an extraordinary aura. The young man stepped down from a magnificent chariot and entered the pavilion.

It was Ye Tianlin.
