After Zhao Xin bought the monk fruit, he bought some medicinal herbs for medicinal baths at the herbal medicine store and then returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Zhao Xin couldn't wait to take out the monk fruit. This was the first treasure he had found, and it fulfilled his dream of being the protagonist. The monk fruit was like a golden bead, and Zhao Xin placed it in a sandalwood box.
Zhao Xin carefully observed the monk fruit, but could not find anything special about it. His excitement calmed down, and he swallowed the monk fruit in one gulp. He then sat cross-legged in meditation, waiting for the medicinal effect to dissipate.
After a while, a strong energy circulated throughout his body. Zhao Xin's body was constantly strengthened by this energy. Zhao Xin quickly circulated his soul power to absorb this energy.
Zhao Xin continued to practice the technique and strengthen himself, and before he knew it, three hours had passed. Finally, the strengthening was over, and Zhao Xin woke up.
Zhao Xin opened his eyes on the bed and carefully felt his own condition. He found that he had broken through level 23, his physical strength had greatly improved, and even his mental strength had made considerable progress. With his current physical strength, if he met the Purple Lion again, it would not take so long.
With his current strength and soul power, he should be able to kill the weaker thousand-year soul beasts. Zhao Xin decided to go to the Dawn and Dusk Forest to hunt thousand-year soul beasts tomorrow and end the training early.
......
The next morning, after breakfast, Zhao Xin set out again towards the Dawn Forest.
Zhao Xin first returned to the camp where he had lived, rested for a while, and then started to go out to look for a suitable thousand-year soul beast. He searched for the entire afternoon without any results, so Zhao Xin could only return to the camp to rest. He wondered if he should go further inside tomorrow to see if he could find a suitable soul beast.
After returning to the camp, Zhao Xin began to prepare for today's dinner. He started a fire and roasted the soft-bone rabbit he had just caught today. There was also carp and mushroom soup stewing in a pot beside him, and the aroma wafted into the air.
"If we can't find the soul beast tomorrow morning, we will continue to search deeper into the forest in the afternoon. It is unlikely that a thousand-year soul beast will appear in this outer area." Zhao Xin calculated while fiddling with the campfire.
Time passed slowly as Zhao Xin was thinking. When his roasted rabbit was almost ready, he suddenly heard a snoring sound from outside.
Zhao Xin's body trembled, this was not fear, but excitement. He could tell that this was the sound of a tiger soul beast. In the wild morning and dusk forest, seeing the fire and daring to approach, it must be no simple thing, maybe it is a suitable soul beast.
Zhao Xin decided to go out and see what tiger soul beast was making the sound.
Zhao Xin came out of the camp and walked a few steps outside, then he found a thousand-year-old leopard tiger. Zhao Xin was no stranger to it. After all, the second soul beast Zhao Xin killed when he entered the forest was a leopard tiger that was about three hundred years old. After killing it, Zhao Xin never hunted soul beasts less than five hundred years old.
The tiger slowly walked towards Zhao Xin, as if it was about to eat something. The purring sound it made was partly to intimidate its opponent, and partly because the tiger had not eaten for the whole day.
"It starts with a leopard tiger and ends with a leopard tiger. What a wonderful fate." Zhao Xinxin suddenly imagined the love-hate relationship between him and the leopard tiger, but he did not stop his actions.
The tiger's slow pace suddenly accelerated, and it pounced towards Zhao Xin at lightning speed. Its sharp fangs were like knives, biting directly at Zhao Xin's neck.
Zhao Xin only felt a gust of wind coming, accompanied by a fishy smell, and Zhao Xin and the leopard tiger's eyes met.
At this moment, Zhao Xin's martial spirit possessed his body, his feet planted on the ground in a horse stance, his upper body tilted, his left hand raised to block, and his right hand, accompanied by the flashing of the second soul ring, fiercely hit the tiger's head.
This was also because Zhao Xin's attention had been on the leopard tiger before he reacted. Who could believe that a thousand-year-old soul beast would have such a plan.
Bang!
With a dull sound, Zhao Xin's right hand hit the bridge of the tiger's nose. Zhao Xin seemed to hear a "click", as if the tiger's nose bone was broken by Zhao Xin.
"roar!"
The tiger screamed in the air, but its right claw suddenly stretched forward and scratched Zhao Xin's left forearm with a "puff" sound. The sharp tiger claw directly cut his skin, leaving four deep scars on his arm.
Zhao Xin stood firmly on the ground and used his soul power to temporarily stop the wound on his left arm, stopping the bleeding for the time being. He then activated his first soul skill - the power of the earth. The shadow of armor appeared on Zhao Xin's body, enhancing his strength and defense while also protecting his injured area.
After being knocked out by Zhao Xin, the leopard tiger fell to the ground and stood firmly, staring at Zhao Xin, trying to find Zhao Xin's flaws and launch an attack again.
The leopard tiger whose nose was hit by Zhao Xin did not run away in fear. Instead, it became more ferocious and wanted to kill Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin was also angered by the sneak attack of the leopard tiger. He decided to find a thousand-year-old soul beast to try his hand, so he could kill the leopard tiger that attacked him.
Just like this, Zhao Xin and the leopard tiger were staring at each other. The leopard tiger did not find Zhao Xin's flaw, and Zhao Xin was not sure of killing the leopard tiger in one go. He could only wait for it to attack and find an opportunity to kill it with one blow.
Finally, the leopard tiger lost its patience first and rushed towards Zhao Xin again, using its innate soul skills to make it faster and its claws sharper.
Zhao Xin directly used all his soul power, and activated his first and second soul rings one after another, maximizing the power of his second soul skill. He used his left hand to block the attack of the leopard tiger, and used his right hand to activate his dragon bear claw to prepare to directly deal with the leopard tiger.
Bang!
This time, Zhao Xin's left hand was not cut by the tiger's attack, but only left four shallow scratches on the yellow armor phantom. As Zhao Xin's soul power circulated, these scratches slowly disappeared. Zhao Xin's right hand directly hit the tiger's eyes.
Under the influence of Zhao Xin's soul power, his right hand hit Banlanhu's eyes directly. The sharp dragon bear claws pierced into it like a knife piercing tofu. With the armor-piercing attribute, it directly smashed Banlanhu's head.
The remaining body of the tiger flew out and hit the ground.
Zhao Xin walked over to observe and found that the tiger with only half of its head left was dead. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was the most thrilling one for him. But it was also because he was too careless, otherwise he would not have been injured so seriously. This also taught him a lesson that he would never forget. He must not be careless at all and must use all his strength against all opponents. He must not be careless or underestimate his opponents.
Zhao Xin took the fangs of the thousand-year-old tiger as a souvenir. Then he put the thousand-year-old soul beast into the soul guide, and went outside to peel off the tiger's skin. The tiger bones can also be soaked in some bone-strengthening medicinal wine to accelerate his own cultivation.
Zhao Xin returned to his rest camp soon, prepared to clean his wounds, eat some dinner, and summarize the battle against the leopard tiger.
Zhao Xin took out medicine from his storage soul guide and simply treated his injuries, then began to recall the fight with the leopard tiger.
"I could have avoided getting hurt at the beginning of the fight, but I didn't expect the tiger to have the strength to fight back after I punched it, so I got scratched on my left hand. This is why I didn't use my full combat power in the subsequent battles. I have to be extra careful in the future, whether I'm fighting soul beasts or soul masters."
This time, Zhao Xin's fight with the thousand-year-old leopard tiger also proved his strength. For ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts, Zhao Xin basically has no problem solving them.
