155: Combat Power Certification

It carried terrifying power.

The Black Emperor Blade shot towards the Giant Foot Octopus's face with a "whoosh."

Then, as if cutting tofu,

It directly sliced a deep, long wound across its cheek!

"Boom!"

A moment later, crimson blood and ink splattered,

Dyeing the entire seawater a mix of red and black.

"Success!"

With one strike, Mu Feng's face was unable to hide his smile.

He then took out the millennium willow fluid from his Storage Ring and consumed a few drops.

Instantly, his depleted Dantian was filled with a considerable amount of pure magical power.

Although this Magic Treasure was powerful,

Each use drained his magical power completely.

Fortunately, he had items to restore his magical power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to use it casually.

"Whoosh!"

As the black ink dispersed,

Just as Mu Feng thought the opponent was completely dead,

A Giant Foot Octopus, with half its head burst open, propped itself up on eight thick arms and quickly fled towards its lair!

"Hmm?"

"It's not dead yet!"

Looking at the severely injured Giant Foot Octopus fleeing, Mu Feng showed surprise.

As expected of a Peak Fourth Grade Yao Beast.

Its vitality was truly tenacious.

Half its head was gone, yet it still had the strength to escape!

Its speed was very fast.

It pulled a large distance in a "whoosh."

"Hmph, trying to escape!"

Mu Feng snorted coldly.

He wouldn't let the duck that was already in his mouth escape.

"Go!"

With a forceful throw,

The silver long spear in his hand once again transformed into an Evil Jiao and chased after it!

The Evil Jiao's speed was incredibly fast.

After a few flashes, it reached the Giant Foot Octopus's back and bit down.

"Aow!"

The Giant Foot Octopus let out a painful shriek,

Desperately shaking its body, trying to shake off the Evil Jiao's bite.

Unfortunately,

Severely injured, it had no strength to shake off the Evil Jiao.

After a few more screams,

It crashed to the ground.

Thus,

This Peak Fourth Grade Yao Beast met its demise.

After scanning it with his Divine Sense,

And confirming that it was completely dead,

Mu Feng quickly rushed over.

"It wasn't easy."

"Finally, it's resolved!"

Recalling the Azure Dragon Flag that had entered the Giant Foot Octopus's body,

Mu Feng's face was filled with excitement.

Successfully slaying this Yao Beast,

Also meant that his current combat power was already close to Core Formation.

"That feels good."

Yesterday, he struggled a bit against a Third Grade Heaven Crystal Ant.

Today, he could already slay a Peak Fourth Grade Yao Beast.

This speed of combat power improvement,

Could be described as progressing by leaps and bounds.

One could only say,

Magic Treasures are Magic Treasures.

Even a Low Grade Magic Treasure that had been damaged and repaired,

Was not something a top-grade Magical Artifact could compare to.

Calming his mind,

Mu Feng squatted down and began to collect from the Giant Foot Octopus.

"System Notification: soul x1"

"System Notification: Fourth Grade Inner Core x1"

"System Notification: Octopus Meat x5"

"System Notification: Ink Sac x1"

"System Notification: Octopus Arm x8"

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a Peak Fourth Grade Yao Beast, it dropped so many Materials."

Looking at the pile of Yao Beast Materials,

Mu Feng was overjoyed.

He picked them up and examined them one by one.

First was the azure Qi mass, which was the Giant Foot Octopus's soul.

Compared to previous souls,

This Giant Foot Octopus's soul was already close to developing sentience.

When Mu Feng tried to grab it just now, it actually dodged him.

This greatly surprised Mu Feng.

He remembered that previous souls were more or less like inanimate objects.

"soul: An item dropped after slaying an Advanced Yao Beast in the Cave World."

"The description hasn't changed."

"However, this soul is clearly much more condensed than before."

"I wonder what the soul of a Yao Beast after Core Formation will be like."

"Perhaps it won't be a soul, but a new item."

Earlier, what dropped after killing was 'soul'.

Later, it was 'soul'.

Mu Feng guessed that after Core Formation, the dropped items might change.

What exactly it would be, he might only know after truly slaying one.

After some thought,

Mu Feng separately stored this soul carefully,

To avoid accidentally using it when repairing Formation Flags later.

"The Yao Core doesn't seem to have changed much, though."

After storing the soul,

Mu Feng picked up the Yao Core next to it.

Apart from being slightly larger than previous Yao Cores, this Giant Foot Octopus Yao Core didn't show any other changes.

After a glance,

Mu Feng put it away.

He then continued to look at the remaining items.

"Octopus Meat: The meat of the Giant Foot Octopus, delicious and chewy, consuming it cooked can increase Satiety by 300."

"It actually doesn't have any bonus attributes."

Mu Feng looked at the octopus meat in his hand, feeling a bit dejected.

The Yao Beast meat dropped in the previous few times all came with bonus attributes,

Making him think that all Advanced Yao Beast meat would have bonus attributes.

Now it seemed,

It should be a probabilistic occurrence.

"Useless stuff, I got my hopes up for nothing."

Mu Feng unenthusiastically put the octopus meat into his Storage Pouch.

Yao Beast meat without bonus attributes had very low value.

But it was better than nothing.

After putting away the octopus meat, Mu Feng picked up the remaining two items and examined them simultaneously.

"Ink Sac: The place where the Giant Foot Octopus stores its ink, it can be used to refine Medicinal Pills, or to feed Spiritual Insects."

"Oh, this seems useful."

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

The ink from this Ink Sac had the effect of blocking Divine Sense.

If used to feed the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion,

And it could inherit this characteristic, that would be incredible.

Mu Feng happily put it away.

On the other side,

The information for the Octopus Arm also appeared before him.

"Octopus Arm: The thick, strong arm of the Giant Foot Octopus, it can be used to refine top-grade Magical Artifacts of the whip type."

"Materials for a top-grade Magical Artifact."

"Not bad."

There were many Octopus Arms.

A total of eight.

Their combined value should be around three thousand Spirit Stones.

Almost comparable to the price of a top-grade Magical Artifact.

After examining all the Materials,

Mu Feng walked towards the broken hole in the sunken ship.

Thinking of the emerald treasure chest inside,

Mu Feng felt a surge of excitement.

He used his Spiritual Eye Divine Power to scan the entrance.

After confirming there was no danger,

Mu Feng quickly headed into the ship.

Entering the broken hole,

The entire internal structure of the sunken ship came into his view.

"What a large sunken ship."

"It actually has five or six levels inside."

After a simple scan with his Divine Sense,

Mu Feng was once again astonished by the ship's massive size.

"Which way should I go?"

He was currently on the third level.

Going up, down, or forward was all a question.

"Go forward first, there's a small treasure chest in the middle."

"Forward?"

"OK!"

Mu Feng, who was originally a bit conflicted, immediately headed forward upon seeing the System prompt.
