Vol.3-Chapter 41 – Tempering the Flesh

Hearing Pei Su Su’s shout, Little Black withdrew his aura a bit. However, his fur was still spiked out and he was on guard.

Seeing Little Black unwilling to leave, Zhao Jiuge helplessly said, “Come here.”

Little Black’s expression changed. He seemed anxious and began squeaking rapidly. He waved his hands, trying to gesture something.

Seeing Little Black point at the Tiger Flood Dragon and then at his mouth, Zhao Jiuge asked in shock, “You’re saying you want to eat this beast?”

Seeing that Zhao Jiuge seemed to understand him, Little Black was happy and excitedly nodded—he was already salivating!

Pei Su Su immediately began laughing at Little Black’s cute reaction. Zhao Jiuge was about to speak when he noticed the Tiger Flood Dragon crouch down a bit more. Its front legs dug into the ground even more.

Zhao Jiuge knew this Tiger Flood Dragon believed that it had found the moment to attack. He couldn’t help but curse and quickly retreat after grabbing Little Black.

After Little Black was pulled back next to Pei Su Su, a sharp claw swiped past where Little Black was.

Seeing its prey disappear, the Tiger Flood Dragon roared in anger and fiercely stared at Zhao Jiuge. It had already gained intelligence and knew Zhao Jiuge was the culprit. When it smelled the spirit force from this human, it felt that this human’s blood essence was even tastier, so its entire focus shifted to Zhao Jiuge.

Zhao Jiuge smiled faintly and didn’t care about the Tiger Flood Dragon’s fierce gaze. He directly released his Sanskrit Divine Body.

In a flash, the night was illuminated by this golden light. Afterward, an even brighter golden light surrounded Zhao Jiuge’s arms and legs.

After Zhao Jiuge released the Sanskrit Divine Body, his aura became stronger and he looked at the Tiger Flood Dragon with killing intent. The Tiger Flood Dragon felt a hint of doubt but then realized that Zhao Jiuge was only at the mid stage of the Spirit Core Realm. Its desire for blood essence outweighed the sense of uneasiness it felt, so it directly pounced at Zhao Jiuge.

Shortly after the golden light appeared around Zhao Jiuge, the bold young man hiding not far away was filled with excitement. He stared at Zhao Jiuge and muttered to himself, “This… This… This really is that supreme spell from my Buddhist Faction. However, why did it appear on an outsider? Although there is some difference, my feeling isn’t wrong. Perhaps he doesn’t understand how to correctly use this spell.”

The bald young man’s heart was filled with excitement and countless thoughts appeared in his heart. Although he didn’t understand the situation, he suppressed his inner curiosity and decided to wait. The reason he was so sure was because he had cultivated it before!

Soon, a thought appeared in his heart. At this moment, the Tiger Flood Dragon had already begun its battle with Zhao Jiuge.

The large Tiger Flood Dragon leaped into the air and stretched out its sharp claws. It wanted to knock Zhao Jiuge to the ground. Although it had gained intelligence, it still relied on old habits.

.

Came just at the right time!

Zhao Jiuge looked at the incoming Tiger Blood Dragon and could smell its foul breath. The spirit force inside his body surged and a golden light surrounded his body. He only used the Sanskrit Divine Body without using any treasures or other spells.

The Cold Underworld Sword remained silently in the sheath behind his back. This was what he wanted: a pure physical confrontation. He wanted to see how powerful his Sanskrit Divine Body was now so he could know its limit in the future.

A thunderous rumble echoed, and the large Tiger Flood Dragon was knocked back. There was a dull thud when the Tiger Flood Dragon landed on the ground and kicked up a dust cloud. The grass and flowers beneath it were crushed into dust.

Zhao Jiuge was also knocked back two steps by this powerful collision, and his right hand felt a bit numb. Due to the Tiger Flood Dragon’s large body, it had gained the upper hand.

Zhao Jiuge’s pupils shrank. Although he only felt numb from the collision, the vibrations from the collision traveled through his entire body. The juice from the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass suddenly began to fuse with this body even better. This caused his body to undergo a subtle change.

Zhao Jiuge felt a burst of joy. He didn’t expect there to be such an effect. It looked like strength was really obtained between life and death. He looked at the ferocious Tiger Flood Dragon, and this time Zhao Jiuge was the one to charge forward. He wanted to use this opportunity to improve the effect of the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass. This was the perfect practice for him!

Zhao Jiuge still didn’t use any external forces, only his legs. After devouring the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass, his legs also gave off the same bright, golden light as his arms.

There was a hint of surprise in the Tiger Flood Dragon’s eyes. It didn’t seem to understand how this human had been able to live through its attacks and still counter-attack. However, its nature caused it to fight back.

It raised its head, and its green eyes were filled with killing intent. It opened its mouth and a foul smell spread out. The Tiger Flood Dragon raised its paw and the two of them collided once more.

However, Zhao Jiuge was prepared this time. After colliding, he didn’t immediately retreat but endured the impact and continued to exchange blows.

Even using his Sanskrit Divine Body, he could feel the vibrations traveling throughout his body. His spirit force was being rapidly consumed to maintain the Sanskrit Divine Body.

Zhao Jiuge exchanged blows with the Tiger Flood Dragon like a madman. Under the golden light of the Sanskrit Divine Body, his palms began to crack and many wounds appeared, with blood flowing out. His aura constantly weakened as time passed and more of his spirit force was exhausted.

However, he obtained benefits in exchange for the injuries he suffered. His meridians and bones were able to absorb the spirit force from the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass even better with each collision. This made his body even stronger.

Zhao Jiuge was like a piece of precious iron, the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass was like a furnace, and the Tiger Flood Dragon was like a hammer. After devouring the grass, Zhao Jiuge was like a block of heated metal, and every collision with the Tiger Blood Dragon was like a hammer tempering his body!

Pei Su Su felt her heart ache while watching this scene. At first, she didn’t see through Zhao Jiuge’s intent and was going to help him deal with the Tiger Flood Dragon. However, she was able to see through his intentions and decided to silently watch.

Looking at Zhao Jiuge desperately fighting like a madman, Su Su felt her heart ache. She knew that he had already suffered a lot to reach this stage. Everything he had was obtained through his own effort.

During these past five to six years, she didn’t know what Zhao Jiuge had experienced, but she knew he had paid a price no ordinary person could endure. This was obvious due to his change from a shy and introverted youth to his current self.

Little Black looked very reckless and his eyes were locked on the battle. His throat moved slightly, like he was swallowing saliva.

The bald young man hiding not far away felt his mouth twitch. He was speechless while he watched Zhao Jiuge fight against the Tiger Flood Dragon barehanded.

While Pei Su Su’s full attention was focused on the battle, the bald young man let out a helpless sigh. He muttered to himself, “He must be the first person in history to use such a peerless Buddhist Spell like this.”

After another brutal collision with Zhao Jiuge, the Tiger Flood Dragon became even more ferocious. Having no result after battling for so long had made it reckless. Even though Zhao Jiuge’s arms were covered in injuries, he hadn't suffered any substantial damage.

The Tiger Flood Dragon’s eyes revealed a hint of slyness. When it swiped its palm toward Zhao Jiuge this time, it kicked off with its two hind legs while its other palm reached for Zhao Jiuge’s stomach.

After Zhao Jiuge blocked one palm, he suddenly saw the other palm arrive. He was completely shocked, but it was too late to react—he could only watch the second palm land.

If Zhao Jiuge couldn’t react in time, then there was no way Pei Su Su could do anything. She could only reveal an anxious expression. Only the bald young man in the distance remained calm.

The giant palm slammed into Zhao Jiuge’s stomach. There was a dull sound and then spirit force shone in all directions.

Zhao Jiuge was ready to resist by force. The Tiger Flood Dragon was a rare species with a powerful physical body and was at the late stage of the Spirit Core Realm. There was no way Zhao Jiuge wouldn't suffer against this opponent. He had only managed to cultivate his Sanskrit Divine Body to the next stage in his arms and legs, so right now, he could only hope for the best.

Just as the giant palm touched Zhao Jiuge’s stomach, a flash of purple blue light appeared in the night and spread across Zhao Jiuge’s body. There was also the sound of lightning echoing through the night.

Then Zhao Jiuge felt an intense pain in his abdomen but didn’t suffer a destructive blow. The damage was mostly absorbed by the spirit treasure armor he was wearing.

He had always worn this spirit treasure armor, but it hadn’t seen much use. After all, a spirit treasure required one to be at the Nascent Soul Realm to be fully utilized. However, even just relying on the armor itself was more than enough to resist that blow.

The Tiger Flood Dragon felt its palm go numb from the shock and jumped backwards. It looked at Zhao Jiuge, who had been sent flying by the hit, with eyes filled with hatred.

At the same time, the Tiger Flood Dragon made another move.
