I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 207: Meeting Gray Again, Assisting Refinement

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xu Ning glanced at the Martial Arts Panel.

There were more than 20,000 units of energy left.

‘Let’s see how much energy is needed to advance to the dao realm…’

Xu Ning clicked on “+” again.

Advancing to the dao realm was a one-time advancement, and the answer Xu Ning received was 300,000 units of energy.

‘The amount is lower than expected…’

300,000 units of energy was not an unattainable number.

After all, he had just obtained 200,000 units of energy.

Now that the dao realm was right in front of him, Xu Ning was much more relaxed.

‘To the Fog Night Abyss.’

Xu Ning walked out of the cave, found Little Gray, and let it carry him to the Fog Night Abyss.

The sun was scarce inside the Fog Night Abyss.

‘It has been nearly a year since I last came here, and Gray still hasn’t refined the Demon Beast Scroll successfully…’

Xu Ning had made an agreement with Gray that once the Demon Beast Scroll was successfully refined, Gray would take the initiative to find Xu Ning.

Since there was still no news after so long, it meant that Gray was still refining the Demon Beast Scroll.

‘Last time, Xu Hujun told me that if I want to find them while Gray is refining the Demon Beast Scroll, I just have to reach this location and release my aura.’

Xu Ning sent Little Gray away and took the initiative to release his aura.

After a while, Xu Ning still did not receive a response.

“Why is there no feedback?”

Just when Xu Ning was puzzled, the space next to him suddenly distorted.

Xu Ning saw this and immediately entered the space.

“Senior Xu Hujun!”

After momentary weightlessness, Xu Ning appeared in the Demon Beast Scroll again.

Inside the Demon Beast Scroll, Xu Hujun was staring at Xu Ning with its huge body and stretched-out wings.

There was surprise and astonishment in its eyes.

“Xu Ning, you have advanced to a half-step dao realm master?”

Xu Hujun did not open its mouth, but Xu Ning heard a familiar voice being transmitted to his ears.

The last time Xu Hujun and Xu Ning talked, because they had to take care of Gray, they spoke through their mental consciousness, but this time, it was a voice transmission.

Sound transmission was not difficult for a human void realm martial artist to do, but it was not easy for a demon beast.

“That is right, I have condensed six attribute seeds.”

Xu Ning answered truthfully.

“Six attribute seeds?”

Xu Hujun lowered its head and leaned close to Xu Ning.

In fact, after Xu Ning released his aura, Xu Hujun sensed it immediately, but he didn’t dare to confirm Xu Ning’s cultivation realm.

Although Xu Ning’s aura was strong, Xu Hujun didn’t expect him to be a half-step dao realm master.

Only after confirming repeatedly did it confirm Xu Ning’s cultivation realm.

“Your cultivation speed is even faster than Shi Fengxu.”

Xu Hujun sighed. “Moreover, Shi Fengxu had only condensed three attribute seeds, but you condensed six. You are even more powerful than Shi Fengxu from back then!”

Xu Hujun’s voice transmission was simulated with bloodline power, so his emotions came across well.

“When you really advance to the dao realm master realm and go to State Wansheng, you might really encounter Shi Fengxu.”

Xu Hujun revealed a look of nostalgia.

Although it had been nearly 300 years since Shi Fengxu left the seventeen states of the Abyss North, the lifespan of a dao realm master was far longer than this.

“Senior Xu Hujun, where is Gray?”

After chatting for a while, Xu Ning asked about Gray’s situation. “Has Gray not refined this incomplete Demon Beast Scroll yet?”

“Not yet.”

Xu Hujun shook his head. “Although we have reached the final step, Young Master has yet to achieve it.”

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning frowned slightly.

“Xu Ning, did you return to the Demon Beast Scroll to visit Young Master?”

Xu Hujun asked.

“Not entirely.”

Xu Ning said, “I came to remind you that some people in State Wansheng are targeting the Demon Beast Scroll, and they are currently on their way here.”

“What!?”

Xu Hujun suddenly looked afraid. “Are you sure?”

“Of course.”

Xu Ning told Xu Hujun about the people from State Wansheng.

After Xu Hujun heard this, a fierce look appeared in its huge eyes.

“It seems that the news of the beast tamer abandoning the Demon Beast Scroll in the seventeen states of the Abyss North has spread throughout State Wansheng…”

Xu Hujun said seriously, “That beast tamer is quite famous in State Wansheng. Even an abandoned Demon Beast Scroll is extremely attractive to ordinary dao realm masters.”

“Senior Xu Hujun, can the current Demon Beast Scroll avoid the detection of a dao realm master?”

Xu Ning was worried about this. This directly concerned Gray’s safety.

“It’s hard.”

The pattern on Xu Hujun’s forehead was twisted together. “Currently, the Demon Beast Scroll cannot be hidden from a dao realm master. If a dao realm master approaches the Demon Beast Scroll, they will definitely notice something odd.”

“Then what should we do?”

Xu Ning asked again.

“The only way to avoid the detection of a dao realm master is to completely refine the Demon Beast Scroll.”

Xu Hujun said, “That is the only way to cover up the Demon Beast Scroll to a large degree.”

“Is that the only way…”

Under these circumstances, Xu Ning was helpless.

“If what you said is true, then we can only ask Young Master to give up the Demon Beast Scroll…”

Xu Hujun sighed. “Although it is precious, it is not worth it to put Young Master in danger because of it.”

“Alright, Xu Ning, I’ll take you to see Young Master first.”

Xu Hujun hesitated for a moment. It realized that the reality of the situation couldn’t be changed, so it suggested going to meet Gray.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning responded.

He hadn’t seen Gray for a long time, so he missed it dearly.

Afterwards, Xu Ning sat on Xu Hujun’s head. Xu Hujun flapped its wings and flew towards the inner core area of the Demon Beast Scroll.

“The ruins of the battlefield during the beast tide…”

Xu Hujun flew over the beast skeleton battlefield with Xu Ning. It was still desolate.

Xu Ning also saw the river on the battlefield. There was a high level void realm demon beast under the river. If it weren’t for Mi Xingye’s protection bead then, he would have died at the bottom of the river back then.

Soon, Xu Hujun brought Xu Ning to a round pit.

There were all kinds of demon beasts carved on the inner walls of the round pit.

In the middle of the round pit, there was a huge bead floating in the air.

The bead was bright and clean, with a diameter of more than 30 meters. There were distorted shadows inside, making it difficult to see clearly.

Below the bead, Gray sat on the ground like a human with its tail raised. Its two front claws were placed together, and its eyes were closed. Its expression was very serious.

As if sensing something, Gray suddenly opened its eyes. It turned its head and looked into the air, only to see Xu Hujun carrying Xu Ning and slowly landing in the deep pit.

Gray rubbed its eyes with its small claws, seemingly in disbelief.

“Gray!”

Xu Ning shouted.

When Gray heard Xu Ning’s voice, it turned into a silver light and dove straight into Xu Ning’s arms.

“Gray, you are already a high level void realm demon beast!”

Xu Ning felt Gray becoming stronger.

“I have helped Young Master refine the blood essence left by Master, allowing Young Master’s bloodline to be further purified.”

Xu Hujun explained.

“This is the core of the Demon Beast Scroll. The last step before refining it is to subdue the wills of the demon beasts in this giant bead.”

Xu Hujun said, “When the beast tamer was refining the Demon Beast Scroll, he sealed part of the wills of three dao realm demon beasts in it, forming the foundation of the Demon Beast Scroll.”

“Forcefully subduing the wills of the demon beasts is the simplest method, but the current Young Master is not strong enough to do that, and I am only in the half-step dao realm, so I can’t really help Young Master.”

Xu Hujun was obviously a little disappointed.

‘Wills of dao realm demon beasts?’

Xu Ning suddenly thought of the cyan wolf apparition.

He hugged Gray and jumped lightly, standing on the top of the bead.

Xu Ning squatted down and placed his palm on the surface of the bead. He felt a cold sensation.

Xu Ning then poured his true qi into it.

The next moment, Xu Ning sensed the situation inside the bead.

The apparitions of an eagle, a bear, and a leopard darted around in the bead.

After sensing Xu Ning’s unfamiliar aura, they all jumped out of the bead, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, as if they wanted to swallow Xu Ning.

‘The wills of these three demon beasts doesn’t seem to be too strong…’

The pressure they gave off was far weaker than the domineering aura in the special dao weapons, the copper knife and the copper fan, that Xu Ning had.

With a flip of his hand, Xu Ning took out the copper knife.

After Xu Ning took out the copper knife, the will apparitions of the three demon beasts seemed to sense that something was wrong.

‘They are afraid!’

Xu Ning noticed this.

Afterwards, Xu Ning poured his true qi into the bronze knife and communicated with the cyan wolf apparition inside.

Previously, Xu Ning had already figured out the method to communicate with the cyan wolf’s will.

“Ha!”

Xu Ning shouted softly and summoned the cyan wolf like how Gu Juan and Zhang Tong did.

The cyan wolf apparition condensed into a head and appeared behind Xu Ning, its tail connecting with Xu Ning’s body.

‘Sure enough, it is consuming my true qi, blood qi, and attribute power…’

Xu Ning felt his strength rapidly increasing. This sudden external boost made him feel surreal.

After obtaining the copper knife and copper fan, Xu Ning didn’t intend to use them to activate the cyan wolf apparition.

All because Xu Ning was afraid of the terrifying demon beast will.

However, Xu Ning decided to try it once to help Gray.

‘What did Xu Ning do? Why did he get so strong?’

Xu Hujun was stunned.

Gray jumped out of Xu Ning’s arms and squatted on the side, trembling.

The will apparitions of the three demon beasts in front of Xu Ning became motionless after sensing the aura of the cyan wolf apparition.

Their originally violent auras were completely restrained.

“Young Master!”

Sensing this, Xu Hujun quickly realized Xu Ning’s intentions. “Quick, take this opportunity to subdue the wills of the demon beasts!”

“Gray, hurry!”

Xu Ning urged.

Xu Ning felt like he was about to lose control after activating the cyan wolf apparition for the first time.

Gray quickly reacted and activated the bloodline power in its body.
