143: Cheng Tianhao's shock

Of course.

The Taiyin Eye unleashed by Tree Shadow was different from the Taiyin Eye unleashed by Xiao Shi himself.

There was a certain distinction between the two.

The Taiyin Eye unleashed by Xiao Shi was formed by the convergence of numerous Taiyin Qi Strengths, creating a giant black pupil.

However, the Taiyin Eye unleashed by Tree Shadow consisted of numerous small black pupils, each about the size of a fist.

These black pupils were densely spread across the branches.

Their function also differed from the Taiyin Eye unleashed by Xiao Shi.

Besides causing people to lose their minds, Xiao Shi's Taiyin Eye also made them continuously approach it in their dazed state.

Subsequently, as they drew closer, their bodies would dissolve.

The Taiyin Eye unleashed by Tree Shadow, on the other hand, focused on the loss of consciousness.

Now, as numerous Taiyin Eyes emanated from the branches, under their gaze, the two Demonic Path forces immediately stiffened.

Their pupils seemed to be assimilated by the black pupils, transforming into their shape.

At the same time, their expressions became dull and numb.

It was as if they had fallen into some kind of dazed state.

Seizing this opportunity.

Several branches immediately submerged into the Taiyin, and as these two Demonic Path forces fell into a daze, they fiercely stabbed into their bodies.

Puff!

Puff!

The bodies of these two Demonic Path forces were instantly pierced by the branches.

Blood flowed.

However, the blood flowing from their bodies was black and highly corrosive.

This caused the branches that pierced their bodies to suffer significant damage under the corrosion of the black blood.

Not only that.

The outflow of this black blood also caused these two Demonic Path forces to instantly awaken from their mental stupor.

Their eyes filled with terror.

They were utterly horrified by the Taiyin Eye unleashed by Tree Shadow.

They had never encountered such a terrifying method!

Although one of them had awakened from the dazed state, his internal organs were pierced by the branches, his vitality was rapidly draining, and he was on his last breath.

Moreover, more branches were continuously whistling towards him.

They pierced his body with numerous holes of various sizes.

The other person's situation was slightly better.

But he also suffered severe injuries.

Facing the numerous sweeping branches, he hurriedly unleashed his escape technique, transforming directly into a black shadow and appearing in the distance, causing the branches to miss.

All of this happened in an extremely short period.

The two Demonic Path forces who were originally preparing to gang up on Xiao Shi.

One died and one fled directly under Tree Shadow's attack.

This also caused Liang Su, who witnessed this scene, to feel an intense excitement amidst his horror.

He hadn't expected this big shot to be so formidable.

He had originally only thought that the other party was unusual in the rearing of Blood Beasts.

But he hadn't expected.

The other party's combat power was also so strong.

And the stronger Xiao Shi was, the more he felt that his act of being a snitch for him was extremely wise.

At the same time.

The Demonic Path force fighting Xiao Shi was also in constant danger and struggling more and more under Xiao Shi's continuous attacks.

Although Xiao Shi had not unleashed his Invincible Vajra Body, his current strength was completely sufficient to deal with this Demonic Path force.

Whoosh!

The swing of the Qi Severing Blade unleashed a black saber light, which quickly flashed past the front of this Demonic Path force, causing his body to tremble.

Immediately after, his entire body split down the middle, directly cut in half.

After killing him, Xiao Shi did not stop there.

His figure flashed.

He caught up behind the Demonic Path force who had turned into a black shadow and fled under Tree Shadow's attack.

He swung his saber and slashed.

Directly killing him.

In an instant.

All three of these Demonic Path forces died at Xiao Shi's hands.

Through this battle.

Xiao Shi also gained some simple understanding of the methods of the Demonic Path forces.

It must be said.

Their methods were all very strange.

If he hadn't already had an absolute lead in strength, facing these methods would undoubtedly have been very tricky.

Of course.

What Xiao Shi was most concerned about now.

Was the items dropped after the death of these three Demonic Path forces.

According to his speculation.

Killing people on the leaderboard was the main way to obtain high-grade resources.

He urgently needed to verify this.

He immediately picked up the items they dropped after their deaths.

[Name: Gathering Splendid Radiance]

[Type: Light Source]

[Grade: High-grade Resource]

[Description: A high-end brilliant light, often capable of bringing about significant changes.]

[Remark: It seems to be a key item used to perfect and enhance Blood Source.]

...Xiao Shi looked at the light cluster in his hand.

His eyes suddenly brightened.

However, with just this one item, he couldn't fully confirm his conjecture.

When he picked up the items dropped by the other two Demonic Path forces after their deaths, and saw that both of these items were high-grade resources, he then confirmed his conjecture!

"Indeed!"

"As long as the person killed is on the leaderboard, then after killing them, high-grade resources will drop!"

Xiao Shi's eyes lit up.

In this way.

He would no longer have to worry about not getting high-grade resources.

The only regrettable thing was... when someone on the leaderboard was killed, their position would become vacant, and those ranked behind them would not directly move up.

Only when others reached the standard of that ranking in terms of Blood Beast rearing would they appear in that position.

This caused three consecutive positions on the current leaderboard to become vacant.

The total number of people on the leaderboard would obviously not remain fixed forever.

As contestants on the leaderboard died, the number of people on the leaderboard would decrease accordingly.

However, for Xiao Shi.

This was already enough.

After all, with the rarity of high-grade resources and the powerful boost they provided.

Even from semi-mature to mature stage, at most only ten high-grade resources would be needed.

After seeing Xiao Shi effortlessly deal with these three Demonic Path forces, Liang Su immediately withdrew the fire ring surrounding him.

He came to Xiao Shi's side and sought credit from him.

"Boss, how did I do?"

Xiao Shi glanced at Liang Su.

He nodded.

"You did well."

As he spoke.

He directly gave him one of the high-grade resources he had just obtained as his reward for this time.

Xiao Shi now greatly needed this snitch who provided him with the whereabouts of others.

Naturally, he had to give appropriate rewards.

Moreover, the high-grade resource he gave also conflicted with Crimson Tiger, making it unusable for him.

When Liang Su received the high-grade resource from Xiao Shi's hand.

His breathing suddenly became rapid.

His eyes widened.

Although according to Xiao Shi's initial statement, as long as he provided the whereabouts of one person, Xiao Shi would give him a resource.

Now he had provided the whereabouts of three people.

Logically speaking, he should have received three resources.

However, in Liang Su's mind, he had automatically assumed that the resources Xiao Shi would give were low-grade resources.

He had completely not expected that Xiao Shi would give a high-grade resource as soon as he acted!!

This immediately brought an indescribably huge shock to his mind.

He knew clearly.

How rare and uncommon high-grade resources were in this Game Arena.

Most importantly... the difficulty of obtaining high-grade resources was often incredibly immense.

However, not only did Xiao Shi possess high-grade resources.

He also casually gave one to him.

It was as if this kind of high-grade resource was just an ordinary item to Xiao Shi.

This greatly shocked Liang Su.

He looked at Xiao Shi as if he were a god.

He almost knelt before Xiao Shi.

He felt that such a big shot was absolutely worthy of his bow.

He took a deep, heavy breath.

He was now completely convinced by Xiao Shi.

He deeply realized that by following such a big shot, even just drinking a sip of soup could achieve a level that others could not reach.

Under the stimulation of the high-grade resource given by Xiao Shi.

Soon.

Liang Su continued his journey, searching for the whereabouts of others on the leaderboard.

He was like a person injected with stimulants.

Full of vigor.

Xiao Shi was very satisfied with Liang Su's state.

After verifying that killing people on the leaderboard would drop high-grade resources, he no longer worried about resources.

These high-grade resources, which were enough to drive ordinary people crazy.

For him, they were no longer difficult to obtain.

Immediately.

Xiao Shi continued to enhance Crimson Tiger using the two high-grade resources he had.

Even though Crimson Tiger had already entered the semi-mature stage.

The improvement brought by high-grade resources was still significant.

Most importantly... the formation of the Blood Source was getting closer and closer.

Xiao Shi, meanwhile, continued his killings.

Even if they weren't people on the leaderboard, he would still kill them.

By now.

What he needed was no longer mid-grade resources, but high-quality items.

He needed to use these high-quality items.

To expand his last main Qi Vortex to its limit!

And so.

Several days later.

Through a large number of killings, Xiao Shi had successfully expanded his last main Qi Vortex to a degree extremely close to its limit.

He estimated that he would need at most one or two more high-quality items.

To expand the last main Qi Vortex to its limit.

By then... all the Qi Vortexes in his body would be limit Qi Vortexes!

No one in the entire Tian Dou Province, or even the Star Luo Territory, had ever reached this level!

"I wonder if anyone in the entire Tianwu Continent has reached this step?"

Xiao Shi's heart was filled with anticipation.

At the same time.

Liang Su also sent a message to Xiao Shi again, indicating that he had found someone else on the leaderboard.

Although he wasn't particularly good at finding people, with the generous rewards Xiao Shi provided, he desperately searched.

From time to time, he would find several people on the leaderboard.

However, when Xiao Shi arrived at Liang Su's location.

He found that the person Liang Su had found this time was... Cheng Tianhao!!

Xiao Shi had previously noticed Cheng Tianhao's name appearing on the leaderboard.

Evidently, Cheng Tianhao's development here was also quite good.

Although he was in a relatively low position on the leaderboard, anyone who could make it onto the leaderboard was not simple.

At this moment, Cheng Tianhao was fiercely fighting Liang Su.

"Stop, he's one of us."

At Xiao Shi's command.

Both of them stopped fighting at the same time.

Cheng Tianhao was immediately delighted upon seeing Xiao Shi.

After entering this Game Arena, he had been searching for Xiao Shi, but unfortunately, he had never been able to find him.

Especially when he found that Xiao Shi's name did not appear on the leaderboard, he became even more anxious.

He was worried that Xiao Shi's development here was not going well.

Now he finally saw Xiao Shi.

Liang Su, on the other hand, was stunned.

A wave of regret washed over him.

He had finally found someone on the leaderboard, and he had thought he could get another generous reward from the boss, but he hadn't expected it to be one of their own.

"Continue to find people."

Xiao Shi instructed Liang Su.

"Yes!"

Liang Su nodded obediently.

Although he was a bit disappointed.

He still followed Xiao Shi's instructions and continued to search for others on the leaderboard.

Cheng Tianhao was somewhat surprised by this.

He hadn't expected this silly-looking Extreme Fire Sect disciple, who seemed to have something wrong with his head, to be so obedient to Xiao Shi's words.

Moreover, from the conversation between the two, it seemed that this Extreme Fire Sect disciple was specifically finding people for Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi glanced at Cheng Tianhao's Blood Beast.

He noticed that his Blood Beast was a blood-colored long-tailed fox.

It was being raised quite well.

Now it was not far from its juvenile stage.

Cheng Tianhao first briefly told Xiao Shi about his development in this Game Arena.

Then he took out some resources from his hand.

He prepared to offer them to Xiao Shi.

He speculated that since Xiao Shi's name hadn't appeared on the leaderboard, his Blood Beast rearing must not be going very smoothly.

Now that he had found Xiao Shi.

He naturally had to assist him with all his might.

Just then.

Whoosh!

A blood shadow flashed in the distance.

A massive, blood-colored Crimson Tiger suddenly appeared beside Xiao Shi.

The entire blood-colored Crimson Tiger was enormous, comparable to a giant bear.

Its eyes were sharp, carrying a fierce keenness, and its entire body was ablaze with blood-fire, with a triangular mark on its forehead.

It instantly brought an extremely strong sense of oppression to Cheng Tianhao.

Making his breathing rapid and his heart pound uncontrollably.

The long-tailed fox beside him was even more terrified, directly collapsing to the ground, trembling, and not daring to move an inch.

Cheng Tianhao stared blankly at the enormous Crimson Tiger before him.

Since he entered this Game Arena, he had never seen such a massive Blood Beast!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes... he would never have believed that someone had already raised a Blood Beast to this extent!

Gulp!

He swallowed his dry throat.

He stiffly turned his neck and looked at Xiao Shi.

"Ma... Master, this, is this your Blood Beast?"

"Mm."

Xiao Shi nodded.

He then took out numerous resources and handed them to Cheng Tianhao.

"Take these resources first and try to raise your Blood Beast to its juvenile stage as soon as possible."

Cheng Tianhao looked blankly at the resources Xiao Shi took out.

He found that these resources were all mid-grade resources!

And there were many of them.

At the same time, he looked at the low-grade resources he had taken out.

He instantly didn't know what to say... Cheng Tianhao sighed.

He felt that he was still too young and his ideas too naive.

With his master's extraordinary nature, how could he be ordinary in this Game Arena?

He actually thought that the other party's development would be inferior to his own... Let alone him, even the current top-ranked person, in terms of Blood Beasts, had not reached this level by far.
