55: Kill a level 3 monster! Gain a lifespan of 10,000 years!

“Hmm?

This Three-tailed Hippopotamus can actually speak human words?

Su Jun was greatly astonished when he heard the Three-tailed Hippopotamus speak.

Generally speaking,

Exotic Beasts can only speak human words after reaching Level 4.

Currently, there are two known reasons why a Level 3 Exotic Beast might be able to speak.

The first reason

is that this Three-tailed Hippopotamus has an extraordinary bloodline.

One of its parents is a Fifth Level Exotic Beast.

The second reason

is that this Three-tailed Hippopotamus once consumed some special natural treasures, allowing it to speak earlier.

If it’s the first situation,

things will be troublesome.

A Fifth Level Exotic Beast might be within a thousand-mile radius.

Su Jun instantly thought of the beast tide at Jiangcang Base.

However, Su Jun quickly reined in his thoughts.

Even if there was a Fifth Level Exotic Beast at Jiangcang Base,

that kind of matter was not something he could resolve at his current level.

What he needed to consider was killing this Three-tailed Hippopotamus.

Although this Three-tailed Hippopotamus was a Level 3 Exotic Beast,

it was not difficult to tell from its recent words that it was injured.

It simply didn't possess the strength of a Level 3 Exotic Beast.

“First, add points to improve my overall combat power!”

This time, Su Jun didn't add points to Wind God Step.

Instead, he chose to add points to Benlei Fist until it reached the Perfected Realm!

Why so?

It was because Wind God Step only improved speed and movement, but couldn't enhance hard-hitting strength.

A vast amount of knowledge about Benlei Fist flooded Su Jun's mind...

In a daze,

he felt as if he was on a vast prairie, surrounded by Exotic Beasts attacking him.

Fists intertwined, thunder rumbled, and these Exotic Beasts were instantly killed...

Benlei Fist (Level 2, Perfected)

Lifespan: 2010

“The remaining Lifespan will be added to Qi and Blood!”

As a warm current flowed through Su Jun's body, his strength slightly increased.

Qi and Blood: 5432

“Human, become my nourishment!”

With a furious roar from the Three-tailed Hippopotamus,

it appeared before Su Jun in a blink of an eye.

Its wide-open maw, like a black hole, seemed to want to swallow Su Jun whole!

Su Jun's expression turned serious, his feet seemed to generate wind, and with Wind God Step, he swiftly avoided the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's frontal attack.

He arrived at the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's side, and on his right fist, nine streaks of lightning flashed.

“Benlei Fist!”

The lightning-wrapped fist fiercely smashed into the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's side face.

Su Jun could feel that the power increase from the Perfected Realm Benlei Fist was at least double!

With a loud bang,

the Three-tailed Hippopotamus was directly knocked from the water onto the land by Su Jun.

A large hole appeared on the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's right cheek.

Blood flowed freely.

There was also a faint smell of charring.

“Although this Three-tailed Hippopotamus doesn't have the strength of a Level 3 Exotic Beast,

its defensive power is still at the Level 3 Exotic Beast tier!”

Su Jun was not surprised that he didn't kill the Three-tailed Hippopotamus in one blow.

After all,

he was currently only at the Intermediate Martial Master realm.

Having the courage to face an injured Level 3 Exotic Beast and severely wound it was already impressive.

Even a Advanced Martial Master or Peak Martial Master

might not necessarily have the courage to face an injured Level 3 Exotic Beast.

Let alone engage in combat with a Level 3 Exotic Beast!

“Roar~ Roar~

Human, you actually dared to injure me?”

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus felt the intense pain coming from its cheek.

It let out an angry roar at Su Jun.

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus originally thought it could easily deal with this Intermediate Martial Master human.

But instead, it was severely wounded by him?

Su Jun didn't waste any words, Wind God Step activated again, and he appeared before the Three-tailed Hippopotamus.

Nine streaks of lightning enveloped his fist, and it struck down again!

Feeling the endless killing intent coming from the fist, the Three-tailed Hippopotamus was scared, but it didn't intend to surrender!

“Innate Divine Ability, River Swallowing Art!”

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus opened its maw, and immediately, bursts of violent hurricanes appeared.

These hurricanes enveloped Su Jun, pulling him into the hippopotamus's mouth!

Innate Divine Ability?

Su Jun's heart skipped a beat.

Usually, only Level 4 Exotic Beasts would possess immensely powerful Innate Divine Abilities.

This Three-tailed Hippopotamus was only a Level 3 Exotic Beast, how could it have an Innate Divine Ability?

“Haha, little one, under my Innate Divine Ability, you will die without a complete corpse!”

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus looked at Su Jun and laughed menacingly.

Its Innate Divine Ability, at the very least, required an Advanced Martial Grandmaster to withstand.

And this little one in front of it was only an Intermediate Martial Master in strength!

Facing this certain death situation,

Su Jun was not overly flustered.

He took out a jade token from hisPregnant.

This was the jade token gifted by Wang Jian.

It could withstand attacks from Martial Masters below the Martial General rank, or Exotic Beasts below Level 4!

Su Jun didn't hesitate at all and decisively crushed it.

A white light shield appeared, tightly enveloping Su Jun.

The pressure from the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's Innate Divine Ability, River Swallowing Art, suddenly dissipated.

“How could this be?

You actually have a life-saving jade token?”

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus was dumbfounded.

Its face showed shock, surprise, and unwillingness.

It had already been forced by Su Jun to use its extremely draining Innate Divine Ability.

But the other party actually took out a treasure to block it?

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus didn't hesitate at all and turned to run.

After using its Innate Divine Ability,

it would enter a period of weakness.

At this time,

an Intermediate Martial Master could take its life!

“Hmph? Trying to run? Stay here!”

Su Jun's eyes turned cold, he used Wind God Step and chased after it!

This Three-tailed Hippopotamus had forced him to use the trump card gifted by Wang Jian, how could he let it leave!

A gentle breeze blew, and Su Jun blocked the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's path.

His heavy fist, enveloped in nine streaks of lightning, smashed down fiercely!

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus felt the threat of death and was incredibly scared.

But as a Level 3 Exotic Beast, it didn't want to back down.

“Human, I advise you to let me go, my father is…”

The Three-tailed Hippopotamus's voice came to an abrupt halt.

Its throat was shattered by Su Jun's punch!

Lifespan +10400!

“I really didn't expect that this Three-tailed Hippopotamus would provide over ten thousand Lifespan!”

Su Jun looked at the five-digit Lifespan and unconsciously revealed a smile.

Indeed, the stronger the Exotic Beast,

the more Lifespan it provided.

Su Jun didn't hesitate at all and added all 10400 Lifespan to his Qi and Blood.

Name: Su Jun

Realm: Intermediate Martial Master

Talent: None

Qi and Blood: 6472

Cultivation Method: Great Strength Wild Bull Skill (Level 2, Great Accomplishment)

Martial Skills: Benlei Fist (Level 2, Perfected), Heavenly Yang Finger (Level 2, Beginner)

Wind God Step (Quasi-Level 3, Great Accomplishment)

Weapon: A-Grade Black Crystal Gauntlets

Lifespan: 0

“I'm still about three thousand Qi and Blood away from Advanced Martial Master.

That's equivalent to three relatively ordinary Level 3 Exotic Beasts.

Or six Peak Level 2 Exotic Beasts.”

Su Jun pondered, looking at the Realm and Qi and Blood sections.

Of course,

if he had to choose,

he would choose to kill six Peak Level 2 Exotic Beasts.

After all, part of the reason he was able to kill the Three-tailed Hippopotamus just now was that it was injured, and he had the jade token for protection.

If he encountered another Level 3 Exotic Beast with an Innate Divine Ability?

Then Su Jun felt he would be buried deep within these Ruins.

“Why would this Level 3 Exotic Beast, the Three-tailed Hippopotamus, possess an Innate Divine Ability that only Level 4 Exotic Beasts have?”

Su Jun stroked his chin, his brows tightly furrowed.

Could it be that it consumed some special natural treasure?

Or was its parents' bloodline very strong?

Which allowed the Three-tailed Hippopotamus to possess an Innate Divine Ability one level earlier?

Su Jun thought for a while and then stopped pondering.

He decided to ask Guan Ping when he returned.

Next,

Su Jun reviewed his battle process with the Three-tailed Hippopotamus.

“The battle with this Three-tailed Hippopotamus exposed a problem: my movement technique is sufficient.

However, the destructive power of my martial skills is limited.

It seems I need to find a way to acquire a higher-level martial skill.

Also, my own strength is still not strong enough!”

He wondered,

if Su Jun had mastered a Level 3 offensive martial skill, no, even a Quasi-Level 3 offensive martial skill would do.

He would have been able to kill the Three-tailed Hippopotamus in their first exchange.

If he were strong enough?

Then he wouldn't have needed to crush the jade token to resist the Three-tailed Hippopotamus's Innate Divine Ability; he would have been able to easily block it.

Su Jun secretly set two goals for himself.

First, find a way to obtain a Quasi-Level 3 offensive martial skill.

Second, continue to become stronger!

“I truly didn't expect this!

The small Kaizhou City actually has such a prodigy.

With the strength of an Intermediate Martial Master, he killed an injured Level 3 Exotic Beast, the Three-tailed Hippopotamus!”

Just then,

a rather enchanting voice sounded from directly ahead.
